If you are at all like me, then the strangest part of breast cancer was the friends I made and the ones I lost. A bit like being in a bad love relationship, I lingered in some not so perfect friendships for many reasons. One, I like the idea of long term friendships. I have lived in the same 60 mile radius for my entire lifetime with a small exception of a brief but glorious three month stay in Italy. Maybe this is why I like to travel so much, but I digress… I have many rich friendships that began when I could barely walk and continued through all of my upbringing, college, and through their marriages and children.
Friendships seem a litter easier to stick through. I was not living with these people and the tendency for a very few friends to be needy during my cancer was no different than the course of those relationships in sunnier times. You know how it is when you are always there for someone, but on the rare occasion when you are actually in need they cannot be bothered to return your call? And so it was with a girlfriend who was always in crisis, I would drop what I was doing and rush off to see her at a moment's notice. I would help in any way I could with the children, when she was having trouble with her marriage, etc. as I was single and available for all that support. One day when I had recently been diagnosed, she canceled our coffee because she wouldn't have time to work out and see me to hear about my scary choices that I had to make. I remembered how I cried. And then on the one day I needed to be driven to chemotherapy, she offered to drop me off and go to Costco while I was there since she had a lot to do.
It has been four years since we spoke. One of our last conversations was about how when I had cancer she felt slighted because I didn't spend a lot of time with her and she was hurt. This took the cake. I had been fighting for my life (what seemed like alone), trying to keep a business going to pay for my treatment since my insurance refused to pay (another long story) and in general, trying to keep my spirits up. As I look back, I really understand what she meant – she was hurt that my cancer became the priority in our very close friendship.
We still exchange Christmas cards and I still cry when I get hers. For a long time I would dream about her and wonder how she was. I still feel responsible and I as write this, somehow I feel it was my fault.
I try to remember there is truly a reason for everything and I think the space in my life allowed time for some really great friends that I would have not been able to connect with had it been so full with this. I also try to be grateful for the things she did do for me. She was one of the first of my friends to offer to donate her eggs since I was told I probably wouldn't be able to have children. When I am sad, I think of this beautiful moment in my life, when a woman offered to carry a child for me so I could know the joy that comes with parenting. And I bless her and wish her well and thank her for the space.
How have your friendships been affected by cancer?

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Dissident Eritrean soldiers who had seized the information ministry were gone on Tuesday and calm returned to the capital, Asmara, an Eritrean envoy and Western diplomat said.
The soldiers took over the ministry on Monday to demand the release of thousands of political prisoners, a sign of a deepening rift between some factions of the military and the secretive country's president, Isaias Afewerki.
Eritrea's envoy to South Africa said there had been a "small incident" at the ministry but that order had been restored.
"The situation in Asmara and elsewhere is no different from any other day," Salih Omar Abdu told Reuters. State television was back on air. Its main headline was heavy snow in Paris.
It was unclear how order had been restored in the one-party state, where dissent is typically dealt with harshly.
The Red Sea country has become increasingly isolated under the two-decade rule of 66-year-old former guerrilla Isaias, who led Eritrea to independence in 1993 after a 30-year war with the government in Ethiopia.
Eritrea has long been at odds with the West. The United Nations accused it last year of torture and summary executions.
Growing economic hardship for many Eritreans - despite an influx of investment from gold miners - is eating away at Isaias' support base, regional diplomats and academics say.
That includes within the army, which has more soldiers per person than any country except North Korea, they say.
Internal fighting over power was an increasing problem for Isaias, said one U.S.-based academic who declined to give his name because he still has family in Eritrea.
"He has his back up against a wall," the academic said.
In 2001, a group of 15 senior officials, including ministers, wrote an open letter to Isaias demanding political reform. A number remain jailed without trial, rights groups say.
After that incident, Isaias had turned to the military, the academic said, but the increasingly powerful forces then started to make demands that went beyond security.
The mutineers this week, about 200 soldiers backed by tanks, had not made public demands beyond the release of political prisoners - estimated by the United Nations to number between 5,000 and 10,000 in the country of about 6 million people.
One U.S.-based Eritrean opposition website said the mutiny leader was Saleh Osman, a prominent military figure in the 1998-2000 border war with Ethiopia. Awate.com said he appeared to be "trying to jolt back negotiations for democratization."
He was not contactable and it was not possible to verify independently. Eritrea restricts the access of foreign journalists and has one of the world's worst press-freedom records.
An exiled member of the opposition Eritrean National Council for Democratic Change said the uprising had followed efforts to defuse tensions between two army factions, one loyalist and the other known to voice criticism of Isaias, albeit internally.
Yemane Ghebremeskel, director of the president's office, said on Twitter: "All is calm today as it was indeed yesterday."
Eritrea occupies a strategic strip of mountainous land overlooking the entrance to the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Shares in gold companies with mines or projects fell sharply on Monday. Toronto-listed Nevsun Resources Ltd was down 9 percent. Those in the small explorer Sunridge Gold Corp were at one point in the session down 26 percent.
"These events have had no effect on Sunridge's ongoing engineering studies and drilling operations in the country," the Vancouver-listed company said in a statement.

Week 15 Challenge: HTML5
HTML is the core markup language driving the world wide web. HTML5 is the next generation of HTML with an eye on reducing dependence upon plug-ins for rich GUI internet applications. HTML 5 add many tags to help web application developers deliver a richer user experience without the dependence upon Flash and other plug in extensions.
THE CHALLENGE: Create a project to demonstrate some of the new features of HTML5.
Some of the new features in HTML 5:
<canvas> tag -- Allows for 2D graphics in the browser.
<video> tag -- allows for embedded video
Besides this the new specification also defines many new semantic tags. For a let of the new tags see the HTML5 reference
Here is a list of additional resources you might want to check out:
HTML5 General Overview
HTML5 Browser Test
Pages that are already using HTML5
A preview of HTML5
HTML5 Cheat Sheet
New elements in HTML5
IN addition to new tags there are a host of DOM updates including new attributes, and new events.
Ideas to get started:
- Make use of the canvas tag to draw elements
- Embed a video in a web page using the video tag
- Play music on a web page by integrating the media file directly
- Create a page that uses the new article, header and footer tags
- Use the canvas tag and Javascript to create a basic physics simulation of linear motion (like an object falling).

About Magmodules
We are a Dutch Magento® Only Agency dedicated to the development of extensions for Magento®1 and Magento®2. All our extensions are high quality coded by our own team and our support team is always there to help you out.
Why do we have License keys?
We are using license keys in our extensions for licensing and anti-copy purposes. The purchased extensions will only work in the Magento® installations that you have a license keys for. Each license key is linked to one domain; the license key will need to be used for the Magento® installation running on that specific domain. You can't use the extension without a license key as you can only activate the extension using the license key we provided for you.
Every license key is valid for one single Magento® installation. A single Magento® installation is one instance of Magento®, including an unlimited amount of websites, stores and store views.
See this guide to read more about how to change or add a license key for the staging or production environment after when your moving from domain or when you need license keys for development domains.
License Key doesn't work
If you enter a license key that is not valid for the domain where Magento® is installed on, a red error message will be shown in the configuration stating that the license key is invalid and that the extension can't be enabled.
Already purchased a license key for this domain and it still doesn't work? Get in touch with us and tell us your order number (back from when you've purchased the extension) and what you see in the Server Name field just above the License Key field - we'll be happy to help.
Moving license to a new store/domain
Our extensions comes with a 6 months support and unlimited upgrade period by default. The license-key will stay active for a lifetime for that certain domain. When you move your store to a new domain, you also need a new license key which can be generated only once from your account dashboard under the my license keys tab. Please remind this is a one time feature so when you want to move the license key of your production store, just contact us. More about adding and editing a license key can be found here.
Do you need another license key for testing purposes?
It's possible to add 2 development/testing/staging keys after your purchase in your account dashboard under the My License Keys tab. You can only use this license keys for testing/stage/development environments as the keys asre clearly marked as testing environments. That is the case for example when using the subdomain "dev.storeurl.com" or "staging.storeurl.com" or "testing.storeurl.com" - we just need to clearly see that the license key will be used for a testing environment and can't ever be used as a production store.
Moving to a production/live environment later?
When you want to implement the extension in your testing environment for now and move to another production environment later, just purchase the extension on the final production domain so you can add development/testing/staging keys in your account under the my license keys tab.
Trial Period
For all orders at Magmodules is a reflection / trial period of 15 days.
During this period you can try the extension and whether it will meet your expectations.
If you are not completely satisfied with a product you return within the time limit indicated. Once we receive your request with the invoice within 15 days of shipment we will deposit as soon as possible, within 21 days, the full refund would be done.
The conditions for these 15 days "Money Back" guarantee are as follows:
- The original invoice must be included;
- If the module is already installed, it is a requirement that it is completely removed from the server and is no longer in use;
- This warranty does not apply for customized products;
- This warranty does not apply for services as the installation service, you receive only the refund of price of the products.
If you want to use our 15 day warranty please contact us. We love to hear from you the following things:
- The name of the extension;
- The order or invoice number;
- Whether you want to exchange the product or refund the purchase price that you want

Reconsidering Vietnam
Vietnam: Citizens Detained for Peaceful Expression

Vietnam at War: The History: 1946–1975
Romancing Vietnam: Inside the Boat Country
Remembering Heaven's Face: A Moral Witness in Vietnam
"That war cleaves us still." On January 20, 1989, George Bush included these words in his inaugural address. He followed them with the plea, "But friends, that was begun in earnest a quarter of a century ago. Surely the statute of limitations has been reached." Then came advice: "The final lesson of Vietnam is that no great nation can long afford to be sundered by a memory."
If there were any Vietnamese listening in front of the Capitol they would have been puzzled by the phrase "a quarter of a century ago." For them the war began no later than 1945, when the French returned to reclaim Indochina, and Vietnamese Communists might date it yet earlier, to an insurrection of 1930.
Here we begin to see the scale of the problem. There were plainly many wars, with many millions of memories—well over eight million Americans, including civilians, went to Vietnam. There would be the memories of the 58,000 Americans who died, and, according to General Giap's staff, the one million Vietnamese soldiers who died. In the admirable anthologies put together by Walter Capps and Harry Maurer we encounter the memories of soldiers who say they loved the war, and of whom some were drunk during most of it. Some believed we won most of the battles but lost the war; some feared they had entirely lost their sense of morality. The last is a common feeling among Vietnam veterans, twice as many of whom have committed suicide since the war as died during it. Many suffer, as Peter Marin notes in A Vietnam Reader, from what Sartre, in Being and Nothingness, called " 'bad faith,' the underlying and general sense of having betrayed what you feel you ought to have been."
But what do the Vietnamese feel about the war? We hear a few of their voices in the two collections by Capps and Maurer, and in the books by Justin Wintle and John Balaban. The leaders in Saigon and Hanoi spent their citizens' lives freely, while few died themselves. When Dean Rusk was asked by his son why the Vietnamese kept coming, he replied, "I really don't have much of an answer on that, Rich," and General Giap, when told by Morley Safer that some of his still-crippled veterans weren't sure whether the war was worth the suffering, "made a movement across the face…as one would discourage a pesky gnat."1
And what of the result? In Kyoto this April, Robert S. McNamara, secretary of defense between 1961 and 1968, when asked to explain his support of the war, admitted to several hundred journalists at the International Press Institute's annual meeting, "I was wrong." William Westmoreland still thinks we were right, and lost because we didn't go "all out." Clark Clifford, in his recent memoir, Counsel to the President, writes, contrary to his public statements at the time, that we should never have gone in, but might have succeeded to some degree had we fought harder.

In the sports section of this paper yesterday a headline began: 'All Blacks: Overload leads to burnout. After gruelling test schedule, top players are in desperate need of some serious R&R.'
Our Boys in Black and the rest of the country as well, it seems to me.
Have you noticed how many people are saying how tired they are, how they're not functioning as effectively as they'd like, how they're just hanging in by the skin of their teeth until the Christmas holidays start? Perhaps my listening is different this year, but exhaustion seems more prevalent than in past years.
I believe this is an outcome of the increasing sense of overload that people (in all sizes of business) are telling me about - all through the year.
We might not be top athletes, but just like the All Blacks, there's a snowballing array of demands coming at most of us. The more we allow ourselves to be bombarded by 'stuff', the more likely we are to feel overwhelmed. Taken to extremes it becomes exhaustion of both brain and body.
Reflecting on this today I remembered an interview from 2005 between Sean O'Hagan of the Observer and British psychoanalyst and writer Adam Phillips, author of 'Going Sane'.
Here are a few excerpts from the interview.
Phillips: 'One of the best things we could do as individuals is allow ourselves to daydream more.'
O'Hagan: 'In this belief, of course, [Phillips] is in direct conflict with the thrust of our culture, which is geared to ever more activity; longer hours, more multi-tasking, always the need to keep up, or run at full pelt to try and catch up.'
Phillips: 'One of the more distracting things about capitalist culture is that there is no stupor, no time to vegetate. What I would suggest is more time wasting, less stimulation. We need time to lie fallow like we did in childhood, so we can recuperate.'
O'Hagan: 'It seems to be dawning on us that, although our lives are easier - that is to say, less poor, less threatened by disease and death, less prescribed by class, gender or race than the lives of our parents or our grandparents - they are nevertheless more pointlessly complex and, as a result, we seem to be more unhappy.
That unhappiness manifests itself... in a strange dissatisfaction with ourselves, and in our ability to be, for want of a better word, contented.' (You'll find the full interview here.)
These guys made sense to me and I'm sure you've also noticed the same paradox - that material wealth for many equals time-poverty and constant discontent. Just because we can fit more in doesn't mean we should.
Here's a question that you might like to join me in reflecting on over the Christmas holidays.
How can we make life simpler and enjoy it more?
And to help your thinking, here are a few thought-starters I'll be using myself:
1. Before taking on another commitment, I will ask myself, 'Does this fit with the life I choose to live?'
2. Am I saying 'no' to enough things?
3. When I'm about to buy yet another 'thing', I will stop and ask myself, 'Is this item going to make my life richer, or will it just make life more crowded and complicated? Is it a 'need' or a 'want'? Will it quickly become clutter?
4. I'll be re-evaluating my goals. (If you'd like help on goal-setting, see my article 'Why should people set goals?' http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10773122 )
5. Is there anything else I can do to simplify my life? For example, what can I give away, recycle, throw away?
And here are three actions that might be helpful:
6. Turn off the TV. Don't let it dominate your evenings. What messages are you putting in your sub-conscious just before sleep? (This is very easy for me - I hardly watch any TV!)
7. Give your mind time to slow down before you sleep. (Voracious reader though I am, I rarely read business books at night - they wire me up too much. Before bed is novel reading time - a delicious treat.)
8. It may seem like a contradiction, but 'plan' to do nothing. Make sure you've left 'fallow' time in your week, every week, and hopefully every day.
Less is more.
Have an awesome and truly blessed festive season. I'll be back next year.

Dear Provider:
I am pleased to provide you with a check representing your Estimated Third Interim Distribution payment from ______________________________.
This payment is being made pursuant to a law signed last year to provide a source of funds to pay providers for monies owed to them by HIP and/or APPP, the HMO's that became insolvent in 1998.
This interim distribution represents only a portion of what you may be owed. This payment is an "interim distribution" meaning it is being paid now as an advance payment against any future payment that may be owed to you upon the final adjudication of your claim. Our review of your Proof of Claim ("POC") is still on-going. Because of this, there are certain conditions about this interim distribution that you need to know. The most important is that if we overpay you, you must agree to repay what you are not owed. When you cash the enclosed check, you are bound to all the conditions in the Refunding Agreement explained to you below. Please read the materials in this package carefully, including the Refunding Agreement.
Enclosed with this explanatory letter, please find the following documents regarding the Estimated Third Interim Distribution:
The New Jersey Insolvent Health Maintenance Organization Assistance Fund Act of 2000 (the "Act") became effective on April 6, 2000. This Act, among other things, provides for the following:
As required by the Act, the enclosed Refunding Agreement provides for your agreement to return any or all of any distribution made to you from the Fund in the event that you were paid in error and your assignment of rights to the Association for any monies paid to you from the Fund. The Refunding Agreement is for your records. You do not have to sign and return it to the Deputy Liquidators of HIP or APPP. The Refunding Agreement was designed to comply with the Act and not eliminate any rights that you would otherwise have under the LHIRLA. Your deposit, cashing or other endorsement of your Estimated Third Interim Distribution check constitutes your acceptance of all the terms and conditions contained in the Refunding Agreement.
The enclosed Questions and Answers document is designed to answer anticipated questions you may have regarding this Estimated Third Interim Distribution. We hope that you find the Questions and Answers both informative and helpful. Also, the Questions and Answers and further details about the interim distribution can be found on the Department's website at www.state.nj.us/dobi/finreceivership/njihmoaa3.htm.
We thank you for your cooperation.
Deputy Liquidator

A dozen different versions of the Arkansas Diet Doc HCG Diet Program is available for: athletes, vegetarians, vegans, diabetics, those with hypertension (to name a few).
- Diet without feeling abnormally hungry. Call to learn why.
Human chorionic gonadotropin ("HCG") is a hormone secreted in pregnant woman which protects the fetus from starvation in times of famine. HCG releases brown fat stored within the pregnant woman's body as a source of food for the fetus. Diet Doc's modern day version of the 1950 Dr. Simeons HCG diet protocol makes dieting easier than you have experienced before.
The Diet Doc Weight Loss Program modernized the Dr. Simeons original 1950 diet by applying current clinical and nutritional knowledge. Arkansas patients are evaluated and a comprehensive review of their health history is taken into consideration along with past failures with other diets. We then are able to personalize for every person instead of forcing everyone to diet using the same protocol. This simply doesn't work for the majority. We know for a fact that people in Arkansas on the original protocol calling for 500 calories per day, not only lost muscle (which is unsafe), but they lose hair and also have extreme hunger and fatigue.
What is the difference between the HCG drops and HCG prescription? A lot! It's the same as if Bayer aspirin put a prescription pain killer in their over-the-counter aspirin. Simply can't be done. Call in Arkansas Toll Free 888-501-0320 and press 1 to learn why.
Arkansas was named the eighth most obese state in the country. The state's adult obesity rate is 30.1 percent, and, in Arkansas men are more obese than women at 31.8 percent. Arkansas has passed requirements for body mass index (BMI) screenings of children and adolescents or legislation requiring other forms of weight-related assessments in schools. Twenty states have passed such requirements for BMI screenings.

SXSW: Saturday [Paul Thompson]
Throw Me the Statue [Palm Door; 12 p.m.]
"Did you all get a chance to have breakfast?", Throw Me the Statue's goofily kinetic bell player asked the crusty-eyed few at the capacious Palm Door just as I walked in the room, a few minutes after noon. Breakfast? Who has time down here? I was tripping over myself to get to Throw Me the Statue's brief set at some Seattle-centric day party I found out about mere minutes before they were scheduled to go on and picked the last bit of bagel from the corner of my mouth just as I walked up the stairs and into the hall. I hustled, 'cuz I very much wanted to hear "Lolita" from the Emerald City band's recently-reissued __ Moonbeams __ , one of my favorite songs of 2008 (so what if it's a couple years old at this point?), and my hustle paid off: After the breakfast inquisition, I was granted my bouncy "Lolita" and a mess of other good ones besides.
TMTS main man Scott Reitherman piles hook after hook onto each song, any one of which a lesser band might try to squeeze a whole tune out of. Which isn't to say they're all great, but they do stick in your head at a fairly good rate, and I found myself singing along to Moonbeams tracks I didn't know I remembered so well. "About to Walk" cuts GBV's late-period riffy pop with a little Death Cab serenity, and Reitherman shares both Mr. Pollard's and Mr. Gibbard's fixation on the meaningfully random. "This is the earliest we've ever played a show before," one of them remarked, a little amused. Not a bad way to kick off an afternoon, though, eh?
Saviours [Waterloo Records; 2 p.m.]
Man, in-stores are the worst. You can never see anything, you're always standing in front of somebody and too riddled with guilt about it to enjoy yourself, you always get distracted by King Tubby box sets or what-have-you, and it always ends too soon. Still, Waterloo Records is a beautiful, well-stocked record store (seriously, Austin, heed this unsolicited advertisement and shop there often), and kudos to them for actually having a stage-- or a drum riser, anyway-- to help alleviate at least some of the usual crap that goes along with rocking out amidst the record racks. And Saviours, for a metal band, were a pretty good fit for the scenario: They're spirited without being overbearing, possessed with an astute sense of rhythm, and just the right kind of metal to nod your head in agreement with while your eyes wander towards the rows of used CDs. Their recent __ Into Abaddon __ 's one of the better metal records I've heard thus far this year, and they played it out with patience, precision, and zeal; plus, frontman Austin Barber looks a hell of a lot like ill-fated Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, which makes him hard to take your eyes off. I mean, it was a fairly technical metal band doing an in-store in the early afternoon, and they seemed just about as hungover as the crowd, so it was a far from ideal context for appreciating these guys. Still, they delivered more than expected under the circumstances, and I caught a glimpse of Eugene Mirman flipping through Chuck Berry CDs.
Ice Cube [Auditorium Shores Stage; 8 p.m.]
I got to Ice Cube's set at the gargantuan Auditorium Shores outdoor shack a few minutes before he was scheduled to go on, because, well, honestly, I had no idea Auditorium Shores was the kind of place, on a normal night, Travis Tritt might play. I'd spent the last several days catching indie rock shows in sweltering basements and fenced-in backyards, and I guess Ice Cube's recent history as the silliest actor in Hollywood led me to believe his draw as a rapper had waned a bit, so arriving to a crowd several thousand strong was both a shock and a delight. Ice Cube made three of the best rap albums ever after the demise of N.W.A., each building on the Bomb Squad's squalid sonic innovations with Public Enemy and Cube's ferocious, sometimes shockingly blunt rhyme style. Not a whole lot past his uneven fourth LP, Lethal Injection , has really been worth hearing, but Cube's a preternaturally gifted entertainer (confession: I love each and every one of his silly movies) with a new LP to plug, and if a few thousand folks want to lay out blankets on a balmy Austin evening and catch the man plugging his new album, well, I was glad to be far from the basement shows and out among 'em, if only for an hour or so.
Blasting off with his trademark "yay-YAY," Cube tore into the set like he'd never made Are We There Yet? , let alone a sequel. Accompanied by his longtime associate WC, he threw out the hits quick'n'easy, from "Natural Born Killaz" to "Bow Down" (before which a pair of hilariously gigantic "westside" hands were inflated onstage) to a parade of N.W.A. classics. Cube worked the crowd like the pro he's always been, cracking wise, crip-walking all over the huge stage, and betting Dub-C a cool grand as to which side of the audience was the livest. It was a draw, if you must know. "I feel good tonight, man," Cube brought to our attention. "Know why? 'Cuz we're live on uvntv.com, with that Microsoft Silverlight technology." Man, who would've thought a medium of data conveyance could lighten up such an intense dude? "And," he said, "because we're at South by South motherfucking West."
Cube's set was a whole lot different than all the stuff going on a few blocks northeast of Auditorium Shores, but it did give a lot of people-- including a lot of small children who I hope don't hear this much cursing on a normal day-- the chance to see some fine live music without having to wade through the downtown madness to bear witness. I had planned to duck out on Cube to check out London's fantastically obtrusive $hit & $hine at the Scoot Inn, but how could I leave something so unexpectedly great? Near the end of his set, Cube launched into a brilliant rant about the dismal state of the music business, saving some choice words for the major labels and making note of the role of the internet in the future of music, which did my heart good. But not as good as "It Was a Good Day"-- still the world's most powerful legal mood-enhancer-- or the fact that Ice Cube the movie star just reminded a lot of people that, hey, he's still a fine rapper with some not too awful sounding new material. Musical material, anyway: IMDB reports that Cube will soon appear in Comeback , directed by one Fred Durst.
Constantines [The Parish; 10 p.m.]
I don't carry the same baggage my buddy Dave Maher does with regard to the Constantines, which may explain my more favorable impression of the Canadian crew's set at the showcase put on by their new label Arts & Crafts. I've never seen 'em live before, and though I do enjoy their records a good deal-- particularly __ Shine a Light __ -- I figured a tightly wound set featuring some husky, well-timed vocals from Bryan Webb would do. I got that, all right, but Constantines did more to impress.
It's a little hard to put one's finger on just why I thought they were so so good: They hold back, hinting at a blow-out that only occasionally comes made all the more satisfying by its infrequency, riling up the crowd by rolling through their terse tunes with only a little added live muscle, and letting Webb do his thing all over them. When they go for it, it's astonishing: "Nighttime Anytime (It's Alright)" is one of the more well-crafted songs of the decade, and live, they really peal out the back end with those prickly guitars and that still-remarkable hook.
The rest of the set found them playing with this loud-soft dynamic to tremendous effect, and by the time it was over, I was simultaneously all riled up and all smiles. I overheard Dave and Bryan talking a little later in the evening, and Webb called it the worst set they'd played in Austin, too jazzy, full of blue notes. But it's those occasional rough patches that give the otherwise musically straightforward Constantines their palpable grit, and if this is, as Dave wrote the other day, "grown man" music, well sir, these guys make being a grown man sound like a pretty rocky thing.
__Jason Collett [The Parish; 11 p.m.]
If the Constantines borrow a trick or two from Springsteen (fair use, I'd say), labelmate Jason Collett's more of a Mellencamp. Like Johnny Cougar, his tidy tunes have a little genial country edge to 'em, but he's a better singer than songwriter, and his spare arrangements and occasionally unremarkable melodies are really more pleasant than great. Live, Collett's easygoing tunes don't inspire a whole lot of passion, though they're no chore to stand through, unless, of course, you're the permadancing bassist in his totally underused backing band just looking for something to do.
Collett's tunes are simple and direct-- both good things-- but there's just not a whole lot to 'em, and though you want to root for the guy, you realize after Jason and company meander through yet another one just why Jason's fellow Broken Social Scenester Kevin Drew gets more love. There are chops here, for sure, but Collett probably ought to spend a little more time on honing them: 2006's __ Idols of Exile __ and the recent __ Here's to Being Here __ aren't a heck of a lot different from one another in many ways, with each tune trying desperately to out-mellow the next. Collett seems like a kindly fellow and I certainly don't dislike his music one bit: I'm just far from blown away, and I'm not sure just how long I can hold out for him to pen his "Cherry Bomb".
__Los Campesinos! [The Parish; 12 a.m.]
I've seen one or all of Los Campesinos! out at a good many of the shows I've caught at SXSW, unassumedly taking their places among the crowds and always looking like they were just damn glad to be there. They are, it would appear, music fans first and a top-notch indie pop band second: Gareth Campesino even berated the capacity crowd at the Parish for choosing his band over Times New Viking, who were playing somewhere else in town at the same time. I love TNV more than the next guy-- I saw them three times this week, after all-- but I was still awfully glad about the choice I had made this evening.
So how were they? Just amazing. Bounding onto the stage with "Broken Heartbeats Sound Like Breakbeats", they were twice as much raucous, exuberant fun onstage as they are on record. At one point, Aleksandra danced her way across the stage, dodging a madly pogoing Gareth and all the rest to tell the soundman to turn up her monitor, when most bands would've just, you know, made the request into the microphone at a quiet time. There's just no quiet time with these kids: They tear through their songs, bopping up and down and making a glorious clatter with every move. You do catch a little bit of a "how did we get here?" expression on their faces and inflection in Gareth's stage banter from time to time, which is perfectly understandable: A year ago, it would've been inconceivable that this lot would be going on after seasoned vets like the Constantines and a guy from BSS (of whom I can only imagine they're fans), but there they were, and deservedly so.
Untangling the cables and setting the levels of the the seven Campesinos! proved more of a chore than the showcase organizers must've thought it'd be, so Gareth-- to a chorus of disappointed groans-- told us that he'd been told they've have to cut things a bit short. That in mind, he noted "this is the motherfucking megamix" before launching into a cover of ~~ The Wedding Present's ~~ Pavement's 1989 "Box Elder" and, seamlessly, "You! Me! Dancing!". You're right, man: That is a motherfucking megamix. They closed things out, probably to the chagrin of some official sort looking at their watch, with "Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks", which, at some point, found Gareth hopping into the crowd and singing along. He was hard to recognize among the likeminded sorts watching on.
I had a real good time at SXSW this year, but you know who I suspect had an even better one? This bunch.

Stars are awesome objects that can be drawn to look like anything you want. For instance, sometimes I will go through an intense creative mind lock and when I am like this, I draw up crazy things, and call them something that has no meaning, or I will submit my drawing on the site as a tutorial, and give it a heading that nobody cares for. That is the case with this next lesson. I was just sketching out some stuff, and them I received a request to "draw a cool star" that could be used for a tattoo, or if drawn on a wall it would make someone's room look hot, and alive. I chose to fulfill the request right then and there, and because of that I went ape *@#!. Needless to say what you see in front of you now is a cool drawing of a star that is not only full of character, it is also very mean, ruthless, and bright at the same time. If you enjoy drawing off the wall stuff, you should get a kick out of this awesomely cool star that has the face of a seasoned professional baseball player. I had a lot of fun with this star, and I honestly think you will too. There is so many more tutorials that needs to go up and hopefully I get them submitted today because I would hate to be backed up with like twenty lessons just sitting there not being used. Well that does it for me and for this description; I will be back in a bit with more fun so stay tuned in. Peace out people!

Activists: Syria airstrike hits school, killing 12
BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian government air raid struck a high school in a rebel-held city in the country's north on Sunday, killing at least 12 people, most of them students, activists said.
The airstrike took place in the city of Raqqa, which is located on the Euphrates River and is the only provincial capital under rebel control in Syria's civil war, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Right said. President Bashar Assad's regime has relied heavily on its air force to strike opposition-held areas, including Raqqa.
The attack appeared to hit the yard in front of the school early Sunday morning, which is the first day of the work week at public schools in Syria.
Observatory director Rami Abdul-Rahman said at least eight of the dead were students, and that the death toll is likely to rise because many of the wounded are in critical condition.
Amateur videos posted online showed at least nine bodies, some of them missing limbs, lying on pockmarked-pavement strewn with rubble. At least four of the bodies appeared to be of young people. Another video shows pools of blood on the ground and a concrete-block wall destroyed in the bombing.
The videos appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting of the events depicted.

Crime Prevention Tips
Protecting yourself at home, in your room or apartment
- Lock your door, even when you intend to return home shortly or even if you are going down the hall. It takes a thief ten seconds or less to enter an open room and steal your property.
- Lock or secure doors and windows when you are alone or asleep.
- Keep emergency numbers by your phone.
- Do not let strangers enter dormitory or premises.
- Do not prop open outer doors.
- If someone asks to use your phone for an emergency call, offer to telephone for them instead of allowing them access.
- Do not put your address on your key ring.
- Know your neighbors.
- Do not leave keys in hiding places. Thieves will find them. Carry your keys or make sure that anyone who truly needs them has their own copy.
- Call 911 to report suspicious persons or activity in or around your neighborhood.
- Open a savings or checking account instead of keeping money in your room.
- Keep automatic teller machine cards in a safe place. Keep your PIN number secret.
- When possible, only use ATMs during the day.
- Instead of carrying large sums of cash use a charge card. Some charge cards insure property purchased with those cards against loss, theft or damage.
- If you find yourself in immediate danger, call 911; try to stay calm and get away at the first opportunity.
Protecting yourself when walking
- Avoid walking alone at night unless absolutely necessary.
- Keep to well lit commonly traveled routes.
- Avoid shortcuts and dark, isolated areas.
- Walk purposefully, know where you are going, project a no-nonsense image.
- Avoid potentially dangerous situations.
- If you feel threatened, cross the street, locate an emergency phone, or enter a store or place of business even if you have just left it.
- Have your door keys ready; carry them in your pockets, not buried in a purse.
Protecting your auto, bicycle or moped
- Always lock your car. (One in five stolen cars was left with keys in the ignition.)
- Lock bikes to immovable objects or bike racks with hardened alloy locks and chains or U-shaped locks.
- Do not leave tempting valuables or property visible inside the car. Lock these items in the truck.
- Lock mopeds as you would bikes.
Protecting yourself when driving
- Look into your car before getting in. Lock doors and roll up windows once inside for protection.
- Never pick up hitchhikers.
- Carry change for emergency calls. 911 is a free call.
- Drive to a police or fire station or open place of business if you feel you are being followed.
- Do not stop to help occupants of stopped or disabled vehicles. Continue driving to the nearest phone and call assistance for them.
- Raise the hood, then lock yourself into your car if it breaks down. If someone stops and offers you help, remain in your car and ask them to phone for help. Do not worry about seeming rude.

Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories 2010 - Christmas Foods - December 2
In last year's advent calendar, I wrote about eating a traditional (cold climate) Christmas lunch in the midst of an Australian summer.
That completely inappropriate hot roast lunch is still a big part of what Christmas is about for me, but there is one other food that was a regular feature whenever we had a large gathering of family - Christmas and other occasions. It was my Mum's pavlova.
Any Australian or New Zealander would be very familiar with the pavlova. It's a dessert with a meringue base, topped with cream and garnished with fruit.
My Mum made her pavlovas from scratch, not from a premix "Egg". Usually she would make two. One, I thought of as the adults' pavlova. The fruit topping made it almost a health food, so far as I was concerned. The other was the kids' pavlova. Instead of fruit, my mother topped the kids pav with a smashed up Peppermint crisp.
I have my mother's recipe, but I've never made it. I really should try to some day. I think I'd like to inherit her reputation as the pavlova queen!
This post is part of the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories, hosted by Geneabloggers.

What the…? Man Punches Female Cashier Over 41 Cents
Here's a compelling reason to stop smoking.
Authorities in Lakewood, California are looking for a man who punched a female cashier at a gas station earlier this month after she told him he needed to pay more money for a cigar he wanted to buy.
The cashier, who's going by the name Yadira, said the man handed her a dollar bill, even though the cigar cost $1.41:
He just says, 'Well, this is all I have….(expletive) whatever.' And I was like, 'You need to get out of the store.' I was like, 'I'm sorry.' And he tries to snatch it."
At that point, the woman, who didn't think the man would get violent, claims the he punched her in the face – right on camera. The man managed to run away without any other customer in line helping out. Apparently, several were more concerned about her well-being.
Yadira says the whole episode has stuck with her, noting, "There are cowards out there that are willing to do stupid stuff."

Hendricks: The fallacy of the responsible gun owners
In the past several months we've been subjected to gun fantasists expounding several reasons that no additional gun control legislation or regulation is necessary. From the argument that they need military-grade weapons in order to engage the government storm troopers to protect "freedom" (meaning in plain language the same kind of treason as firing on Fort Sumter) to asserting that the right and proper way to protect their home from intruders is to be able to fire a hundred rounds without reloading that same military-grade infantry piece.
One of the more common arguments posited is the statement that regulations will impede or infringe on the rights of the "responsible gun owner." When one points out one of the recent tragedies the response is that "yeah, but they were not 'responsible' gun owners."
The fact that in each of these tragedies the owner was "responsible" right up to the moment the bullet left the barrel to kill is glossed over by the NRA and their ilk. They fall into the No True Scotsman fallacy.
No True Scotsman is a logical fallacy by which an individual attempts to avoid being associated with an unpleasant act by asserting that no true member of the group they belong to would do such a thing, the fallacy tries to redefine the group to exclude them.
The NRA is dead set against anyone being required to demonstrate that they are or would be a "responsible" gun owner, that only after the tragedy occurs should any control be exerted.
If the NRA would work to ensure only "responsible" gun owners had access to firearms instead of erecting roadblocks to reasonable control perhaps we wouldn't be holding 30,000 funerals every year for the victims of formerly "responsible" gun owners.

"Lego" Makes Little Splash at #1 For Weekend
As we head into February, a larger crop of films are headed to the theater to take the top spot away from films that have been dominating the top 5 for quite some time. And while most of the older films were knocked a few spots down, the champions of the weekend didn't exactly have the grandest of debuts for being so high on the charts.
While it's no surprise that The Lego Movie 2, the sequel to 2014's surprise hit of an animated film, was at #1, it wasn't by as hefty an amount as the previous movie. The animated sequel premiered at $34 million, surprisingly weak considering how strong the last film did on its first weekend. Still, it's by far the highest of the weekend box office. Just below it at #2 was the gender-based comedy What Men Want, starring Taraji P. Henson and Tracy Morgan, coming in with $19 million. And just below that was the thriller Cold Pursuit, starring Liam Neeson and Laura Dern, at #3 with $10.8 million. And debuting even further down at #6 is the new horror film The Prodigy with a weekend debut gross of $6 million.
Aside from the thriller Miss Bala taking the biggest dip of the weekend at 60%, most returning films took very low drops in box office. The lowest drops were for the heartwarming dramas of The Upside and Green Book, only dropping 16% and 18% respectively. Finally being knocked out of the top 5 was Aquaman with a current domestic gross of $328 million and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with $179 million.
Check out the full top 10 for the weekend below:
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part ($34,400,000)
What Men Want ($19,000,000)
Cold Pursuit ($10,800,000)
The Upside ($7,220,000)
Glass ($6,422,000)
The Prodigy ($6,004,403)
Green Book ($3,567,000)
Aquaman ($3,300,000)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ($3,040,000)
Miss Bala ($2,725,000)
Next weekend will be Valentine's Day weekend where romantic comedy will do battle against futuristic cyborgs and bloody curses. Isn't It Romantic, the romantic comedy satire starring Rebel Wilson, will hit over 3,300 theaters. Happy Death Day 2U, the horror sequel about a woman who can't stop by dying, will premiere to 3,000 theaters. And Alita: Battle Angel, the dystopian sci-fi adventure based on the classic manga, will premiere to 3,700 theaters.

"Captain Marvel" Retains Top Slot at the Box Office
It's no surprise that in its second weekend, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe of 2019 is still riding high. Captain Marvel, the latest in the MCU with Brie Larson starring as the lead, generated another $69 million over the weekend, placing its domestic total at $266 million. Tallying up the international box office, the film's global total to date is $760 million. Despite the online controversy, the film is looking to be another strong box office smash for Disney and Marvel.
As for the premieres for the weekend, and there were plenty, they were all over the map. Just below Captain Marvel was the animated adventure Wonder Park, bringing in $16 million, another film with controversy when the director's name was removed from the picture after sexual harassment charges. Five Feet Apart, the dying teen drama about a romance amid cystic fibrosis, only came in at #3 with a weekend gross of $13 million. And debuting the lowest in the top 10 for debuts was Captive State, a sci-fi dystopian tale, only making $3 million. The film debuted so low the little film No Manches Frida 2 was able to sneak about it at #6 with a gross of $3.8 million.
Drops were fairly low all around for the returning films, mostly because Captain Marvel was dominating the previous weekend. The only milestone worth noting is that The LEGO Movie 2, after six weeks at the box office, finally cracked $100 million. And the sun is now setting on Green Book's post-Oscar run by coming in at #10 for the final weekend of its top 10 run over the past few weeks.
View the full top ten weekend box office results below:
Captain Marvel ($69,318,000)
Wonder Park ($16,000,000)
Five Feet Apart ($13,150,000)
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World ($9,345,000)
Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral ($8,085,000)
No Manches Frida 2 ($3,894,000)
Captive State ($3,163,000)
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part ($2,135,000)
Alita: Battle Angel ($1,900,000)
Green Book ($1,277,000)
Next weekend, Captain Marvel may very well have some competition when Jordan Peele's new horror film Us hits over 3,600 theaters.

"Dragon" Continues To Soar, "Funeral" Close Behind, "Green Book" Back
With little competition for the weekend, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the third in the animated fantasy saga, was able to secure the box office once more. In its second weekend, the animated epic made $30 million to push its domestic total to $97 million. So far the film has done about the same as the previous film and is on track to stay in the top 10 for a few more weeks in March.
Debuts this weekend were small with one big exception. Tyler Perry's latest Madea film, A Madea Family Funeral, naturally made a relatively big splash with its dedicated audience. Starting at #2, the film made $27 million for its first weekend. No word on the budget yet but it's most likely on a budget as most Tyler Perry productions are, so it's safe to call this a success, especially for debuting with a box office so close to Dragon.
The rest of the premieres were not as strong at all. Greta, the new thriller starring Chloe Moretz, debuted all the way down at #8 with $4.5 million box office. To be fair, however, the film was in a constant battle for its spot as three other films also reported earnings around $4 million for the weekend. Of note, Green Book, fresh off winning the Academy Award for Best Picture one weekend ago, splashed back into more theaters to arise even higher in the top 10 with its domestic total now sitting at $73 million. Don't count on it remaining there long as bigger blockbusters will be swooping as we plow through the last remnants of winter movies.
Check out the full listing of the top 10 box office weekend results below:
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World ($30,046,000)
Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral ($27,050,000)
Alita: Battle Angel ($7,000,000)
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part ($6,615,000)
Green Book ($4,711,000)
Fighting With My Family ($4,691,284)
Isn't it Romantic ($4,645,000)
Greta ($4,585,000)
What Men Want ($2,700,000)
Happy Death Day 2U ($2,516,000)
Next weekend is once again all about Marvel as their latest superhero solo film, Captain Marvel, will be appearing in 4,100 theaters.

Review: "Captain Marvel" is a Solidly Sensational Sci-Fi Adventure
Captain Marvel joins the ranks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a much different way. She slides into the MCU via a twisty sci-fi adventure of the 1990s, before the Avengers were formed. And though the film does serve as a strong bridge picture that answers a few more questions about the Marvel universe, the film quickly becomes its own thing and gives its hero a real identity as the powerful addition to the superhero ensemble.
Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers, a woman not sure if she's a human pilot of Earth or a soldier of the Kree empire's Starforce. There's little time to explore these conflicting visions she's having when there's special energy powers to control and a war being waged against the shape-shifting Skrull alien creatures. A detour to 1990s Earth gives her a bit of time to find out more while also hunting down some more Skrulls, leading to some interesting scenarios when combatting aliens that could look like old ladies.
Carol's landing on Earth leads to treading down familiar Marvel timeline territory as well as evoking plenty of dated 1990s bits. What started drawing me into the picture was how the film holds itself back from the obvious. The 1990s setting is used for some gags of video stores and Windows 95, sure, but never goes the extra mile of becoming an aggravating reference fest, keeping a certain vibe the way Guardians of the Galaxy embraced the 1970s and 1980s. And just like that film, there's a nostalgic soundtrack to boot, with choice tracks for just the right cue.
Samuel L. Jackson pops up in the film as a younger Nick Fury with his two eyes still intact. He teams up with Carol in her intergalactic spy adventure and thankfully never goes to the booming lengths he was known for that decade. And the filmmakers could have easily made this younger Fury go full Die Hard 3 or Pulp Fiction but he never does, always keeping that cool persona he has been known for in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But the one aspect that is never shunned and built up grandly is the aspect of female empowerment. Danvers is established as a woman who doesn't have a clear identity or mindful nature of galactic politics and has to build herself up when she realizes she may be a very powerful pawn in a big game of intergalactic chess. Her memories are that of always being told to back off from non-traditional activities for girls and, sure enough, she rises up to become the smirking and energy-shooting hero when the final piece of her character puzzle is pieced together. It's just unfortunate that the film spends so much time doing the building amid a twisty sci-fi spy story that Brie never gets a moment to shine as brightly as she could, despite a very enthusiastic third-act closer.
If we're being blunt, no, Captain Marvel doesn't quite have the same gravity to be a cultural milestone of a comic book movie. Where others have pointed to Black Panther as not the first the most insightful and cultural of black-led superhero movies, I doubt many will look towards Captain Marvel as the grandest of female-led comic book movies, making its motives known with the power and subtlety of a supernova. But, in terms of what the film is aiming towards, it doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and that's perhaps the point. I just wish that Captain Marvel's astounding powers to destroy starships and aliens had a much bigger punch for a picture that wants to obliterate the glass ceiling and merely cuts a narrow hole within the MCU. It's a nice hole, mind you, and still weaves a capable and compelling sci-fi adventure with a surprisingly more engaging finale than most Marvel solos.
