Standard Jacketed Header - S/B Chevy LS1 Mercury
These headers are designed to be a replacement for Mercury, OMC or jet manifolds. However, they terminate approximately 8" aft of stock manifolds and are projected to meet the exhaust tips providing they are in the stock location. Headers will have about 1/2" clearance between header and tall Moroso valve covers. Headers come complete with bolts, gaskets, waterfittings, pet cocks, etc. (less 4" hose and 4" hose clamps). Factory oil filter requires relocation.
When comparing performance exhaust systems it's good to understand the different systems on the market today and the performance demands of your engine. Understanding how a header works will help you decide on which exhaust system is best suited for your application.
Headers have two basic functions. First is to simply relieve back pressure. For example, when looking at a manifold you see a 4" diameter exhaust hose, but the actual exhaust gas opening is about 2-1/2" diameter. Most performance manifolds and some header manufacturers use a 4" exhaust hose and 3" or 3-1/2" OD exhaust gas tube. All of these headers use a 4" OD exhaust gas tube and a 5" water jacket tube until the water gets introduced into the exhaust gas stream, then it gets reduced from 5" to its 4" exhaust hose diameter. At no time does the exhaust gases see a diameter smaller than 4" OD. When looking at these exhaust gas openings consider their area not their diameter. For example, a 4" OD opening has an area of approximately 12.56 sq. in. A 3-1/2" opening has an area of approximately 9.62 sq. in.That is 25% smaller! A 3" opening is approximately 7.06 sq. in. and a 2-1/2" opening is approximately 4.90 sq. in. which is 60% smaller.
Performance figures on headers vary considerably. As a rule, the higher horsepower engines benefit more than the lower horsepower engines. For example, the 330hp Mercury engine will gain approximately 50 to 75 rpm, where as the 365 hp Mercury engine will gain approximately 300 to 400 rpm (45 hp). Blown engines gain up to 800 rpm (80 hp). Of course this is comparing these headers against stock Mercury center rise manifolds.
Our Magnum header starts with Mandrel bent 316L stainless steel interior tubes. The exterior tubes are Mandrel bent heavy wall steel tube (.074). The tubes are then mechanically etched by sand blasting and then assembled. Finally, a corrosion resistant silicone ceramic coating is applied to the interior of the header while the exterior receives a powder coat finish.
Through continuing research Lightning Mfg. has developed a Dual Porcelain Coating that resists the harshest of salt water environments. Now as an option theyare able to apply the same high tech coating to a 316L stainless steel lined header once thought to be the cracking alloy and render it crack resistant.

PS Audio's AC3 and AC5, entry level power cables worth a listen
Why, Who, What
I believe that the 'garbage in = garbage out' rule of audio extends beyond just the source->amp->speakers.  Garbage can start at the electrical panel of the house, penetrate, grow and amass as it travels through out the home and it radiates itself all over our equipment in unpleasant ways. The RFs spewed from a power cable degrades an audio system like cataracts blurs eyesight. It can suck out mids, make highs sound tinny, and slur bass and dynamics. That is why a good power cable must protect your equipment from this electrical interference. This is fundamentally important to good hi-fi audio and Paul McGovern and team at PS Audio know this.
I became interested in PS Audio's product line when I went to a demonstration presented by Paul himself of the PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport and DAC. Which is well worth a listen if you get an opportunity. Paul was friendly, engaging and endeared me to asking to review their entry level power cables. Communication with the PS Audio team has been just as pleasant as Paul in person.
But why power cables, and why entry level of all price points? Well, to put it in a drawn out convoluted fashion… I've heard a few diamond in the rough entry level system ($2000-$10,000), that after adding an after market upgraded power cable or two, three, four,… how many plugs do you have… have metamorphosed into whole new, more listenable, pleasing and balanced systems.  Taking away the tin in the highs, giving the mids and lows more clarity, and basically taking the system from pretty good to enjoyable. Sometimes even to very enjoyable. And for a lot of folks in the entry level market, an extra $100-$300 on a power cable is unthinkable. I'd like to change this thinking. One of my goals is to help the entry level guy (gals too) who are out there, wanting to get more from their system without further leveraging themselves out over that endless pit of hi-fi equipment prices. Sometimes a simple power cable upgrade can satisfy the upgrade yearning, and sometimes, it is all one needs to find out how truly amazing the system they already have is.
Construction/Why After Market Power Cables are Different
So here is where I talk about the construction of the AC3 and AC5 power cables and why they work the way they do… … did a say enough already? No, err, well, OK. Here is goes. I'm not an electrical engineer nor did I major in science at college, so alas I will not be plunging into the shadowy molecular depths of electrical physics to explain how a power cable effects the sound in your system. But, I did talk to a few of smart people and requested the every-man's version of how this stuff works. I'll do my best to explain why power cords, and the different constructions of the AC5 and AC3, can make a difference in your audio reproduction quality. But, there is a comment section below, and I encourage anyone with knowledge greater than I to add detail too, expand on, or further clarify, in a simple haiku form only please, how his stuff works.
Electrical energy and how it is delivered to our equipment is the giver and taker of great hi-fi audio. A system needs it to live, yet the electrical noise of the power cable and the components; CDP, Amplifier, TV, Bluray Player, computers, lights, power conditioners and so on, can mutate and drain a system of dynamic snap, distort frequency balance, and obscure the perpetually elusive 'mojo' of a great hi-fi system.
PSAudio freely admits there is not scientific data to show why aftermarket power cables, or theirs in particular, will improve the sound in your system. But there are a few theories as to why they will help.  They have though spent hundreds of man hours tinkering with hundreds of cable designs and have come to an over arching theory of cable design they refer to as 'frequency balance'. They want to make sure that the electricity coming from the wall ends up giving your equipment the best possible over all frequency balance to inject into your audio stream. Treble isn't inflated in volume, lows aren't sucked out, mids aren't distorted in some fashion either. Balance.
Over the years of trial and error, PSAudio found that bass performance wasn't too much of an issue to be addressed. Getting the clarity and warmth of the midrange correct, and the volume of the treble, are the most poignant issues that have to be resolved.  And based off how the power cord sounds, I'd agree everything seems very much in balance.
For the midrange the PerfectWave AC line uses a rectangular conductor design to achieve a desired core to surface area ratio that produces an open and warm midrange. For the treble they used a similar rectangle design but then twists the rectangle into a hollow tube and coats it with PE foam to insulate the electrical fields of the conductor. In other words, keep the interference of the varying electrical fields to a minimum.
One wonders though, seeing as how electricity from the wall comes in one wave form, and into you components goes in as one wave form, how designing an electrical cable made up of various shapes, thicknesses and quality, with no filtering device, would help.  But it sounds to me, from my auditioning experience, like it does.
Another large component to good cable design is the shielding.  This helps protect the electrodes and capacitors that process your audio signal from being interfered with from the RF from the power cable.  The power acts like an antenna.  As the electricity flows through it from the wall, RF signals are being radiated out from it like a broadcast antenna.  Shielding your cable is cheaper than building all components in air tight 4inch thick aluminum cases, so stopping the RF interference at the source is another of a good power cables qualities.
So to answer the question on why an after market cable is better/different than the standard power cable that came in the box, it is because more technology and money has been spent to design a product that will give your equipment the absolute best change of performing to its fullest possibilities.  You might as than, as I have in the past, why would component manufacturers not just ship their gear with a better after market cable?  As one can see from visiting an audio show, component manufacturers do use after market cables in their show rooms, so why not just ship to the customer when they purchase a price of your gear?  Well the argument I've heard against this is that, and I do slightly buy this argument only because systems and the environment they are in, vary so greatly from consumer to consumer, that one should demo several different after market cables to find out what they like best in their system.  The cable someone may ship to you when you by an amplifier might not really be the best selection for you, and now you've paid the extra cost for a cable you might not use.
The AC5 uses a 10 gauge wire and double shielding while the AC3 uses 12 gauge (smaller diameter of wire) with multiple shielding technologies.  What you would noticed between the two if they were in your hands is that the AC5 is a slightly thicker power cable than the AC3, but both are easy to bend and manipulate and the plugs are very sturdy and stay connected into the outlet and equipment.
Really, it just gets your palms all sweaty in anticipation at all the fun you can have trying this cable or that cable. Being able to tweak the sound in your system, to satisfy your OCD graving for the best sound possible.
I've been lucky enough that PSAudio has loaned me the AC3 & AC5 and Quintet (review pending) power cables for an extended review time. I've been able to try them out on several amplifiers and system combination that have passed through my house in the past seven month (sorry guys), including headphone amps, against a couple other power cables of equal to much greater prices, amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, DAC and several different speakers.
Currently I've been running the AC5 &AC3 with the Electrocompaniet Prelude PI-2 amplifier, PC-1 CDP, and PSB1 bookshelf speakers. (Review pending for Dagogo.com) I've also used them to power a Jeff Rowland Design Group 102S amplifier, Onkyo M282 amplifier, Audio By Van Alstine OmegaStar 250EX amplifier, Omega III pre-amplifier and AudioNote DAC One. Speakers have ranged from the Electrocompaniet PSB1 passive bookshelf gems to the PMC TB2S+passive bookshelf monitors which have a fantastic midrange, to the classic entry level floorstanders the Monitor Audio RS6. I've also used the AC3 & AC5 with a KingRex headphone amplifier and Trends Audio PW-10 PSU and PA-10 tube headphone amplifier. (Review pending for AudioReview). Sources include both a verity of CDPs and transports and a Rega P3/24 with Sumiko Blue Point Special Evo III cartridge with a Moon LP3 phono stage with Granite Audio #460 interconnects.
PerfectWave AC5
The PerfectWave AC5 ($249) is a 10 gauge, double shielded power cable, made with multiple gauge and shaped conductors and solid machined connectors. It is very well constructed. Thick yet easy to bend and fairly hefty in weight. Both sides stay well plugged into equipment and outlet.
Across the multiple amplifiers and systems I've listened to it on, I've found the AC5 does a great job of slightly accentuating male vocals and similar frequency ranged sounds, bringing them just a bit more forward than the accompaniment instruments. Actually my wife first pointed this out one night when we were A/B testing about five different power cables ranging from $10-$1000. The AC5 also increased the detail in the treble and midrange. It controlled/eliminated the tin in some of the systems it was used with. I found the JRDG 102S to be fairly sensitive to interference and can sound rather lifeless and thin with a slight tin in the highs when using the supplied power cable. The AC5 cured these ills.
Comparing the AC5 to a standard supplied power cable, or even the AC3 from PS Audio, the difference is night and day. It brings a clarity and solidness to the music, increasing the energy of large dynamic shifts in music and it does a very good job is clearing up the midrange to make smaller, mirco dynamics shifts more audible.  Think of the guitar pluck that gets slightly more emphasis.  The AC5 is able to take my current set up and turn it from good to captivating.
Remember though, the AC5 is about balance and as such it doesn't extent the bass frequencies lower than sound natural.  I have in some other cables that do, and when I'm playing electronica, techno, hiphop, that unnatural bass level and extension is ok, but for everything else the naturalness in the balance of frequencies the AC5 brings to my system is perfect.
PerfectWave AC3
The AC3 power cable ($129) is a different cable than the AC5. It is a 12 gauge wire, using OFC pure copper, multiple shields, and the same multiple gauge geometry as the AC5 with machined connectors.
I was less impressed with the AC3 power cable.  When comparing the two on amplifiers/pre-amplifiers I found that between the two, using the AC3 offered only a slight improvement in clarity and dynamics over the out of the box power cable. It is much more worth it in my opinion to shell out the extra money for the AC5 to power an amplifier/pre-amplifier than the AC3. But that doesn't mean the AC3 had no use. I used it to power CDPlayers, DACs, other source type equipment.  Those don't draw as much power and a smaller diameter cable isn't as impeding.  And the quality shielding at a lower price than the AC5 makes it very worth while investment to reducing RF interference for your equipment.
I really liked the AC5 power cable to power amplifiers and pre-amplifiers. Its ability to increase detail, dynamics, and present most male vocals a just a slight bit more forward than the accompanying music has won my ear and recommendation.  IT is a very balanced cable at for $249 well worth the difference I heard in my systems.  If you have an entry level system and no after market power cables, you will probably do yourself a huge favor using an AC5 to at least power your amplifier.
And even though I didn't find the AC3 as improving a cable as the AC5 when using it to power an amplifier/pre-amplifer, it certainly has a place in a system. It paired just fine with my source components and produced less interference than a standard out of the box power cable does when in the system.
If you have an opportunity, do yourself a favor, at least demo an AC5 on your amplifier, you might find your system greatly improved.

Kitchen confidential: Matthew Hart, The Local
The secret to great cooking is... great ingredients. A lot of people spend a lot of time making it look fantastic, but if what you're starting with isn't the best, it's not going to turn out well.
The secret to success in the restaurant business is... letting your customers know they're appreciated with lovingly prepared food and taking care of them in a warm and hospitable way.
The secret to making The Local's short ribs is... the stock. Veal stock is best, but if you can't find beef stock that isn't canned, just double the chicken stock to 4 cups. There's a big difference in the flavor of canned beef stock and the real thing.
The Local's short ribs
4 ½ pounds Beef Short Ribs
1 bottle of red wine (750 ml)
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups beef or light veal stock
½ bunch of fresh thyme
1 head of garlic, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
2 stalks of celery, roughly chopped
5 oz white pearl onions
5 oz red pearl onions
6 yukon gold potatoes
Canola or grapeseed oil
Salt and pepper
3 bay leaves
6 peppercorns
Season the Short Ribs with Salt and Pepper. Lightly dust the ribs with flour.
Brown the short ribs on all sides in canola oil.
After all the ribs have been evenly browned, pour off the excess fat and add the carrots, onions, celery, and garlic to the pan.
Saute briefly and then add the red wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits that have stuck to the pan during the browning process.
When the wine has reduced by about half and no longer smells of alcohol add the chicken and beef/veal stock to the pan. Bring to a boil.
If using enameled cast iron, return the ribs to the pot with the liquid. If using a baking dish, put the ribs into the pan and pour the liquid over the short ribs. The liquid should almost, but not completely cover the ribs.
Add the sprigs of fresh thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns to the dish.
Cover tightly and put in an oven preheated to 315 degrees for about 3 hours. The Short Ribs may take a little longer or a little less time. They are done when the meat is very tender, but not falling apart. (The recipe can be prepared to this point a day or two in advance. In fact it is easier to get a completely grease-free sauce if it is prepared in advance and the fat has a chance to separate).
Remove the ribs from the baking dish and strain the sauce into a saucepan. Meanwhile put a pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil.
As the sauce simmers and reduces skim any fat and scum that rises to the top. Be diligent with this step as it will make a big difference in the final dishes appearance.
Blanch the potatoes, baby carrots, and pearl onions in the boiling water. Peel the onions.
Reduce the sauce by about half. You will know it is done when it has thickened and taken on a nice, sauce like consistency.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and pearl onions to the sauce, turn off the heat, and add around 4 tablespoons of butter to the sauce, one tablespoon at a time. Stir continuously and add the next tablespoon of butter when the previous one has been incorporated.
Place the Short Ribs on serving plates and ladle the sauce and vegetables over the top, making sure to divide the vegetables as evenly as possible. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and chopped parsley and enjoy.

For the love of God, listen to what Alex Jones is telling you. www.infowars.com. or google Alex Jones Show and click on the "listen to the radio show" link. Trust what he is telling you, but also take the time to do your own research so that you can find out for yourself that Alex (and the thousands of guests he's had on over the years) is telling you the truth. Yes, it's absolutely horrible what we are up against. But we will defeat the enemy because they are weak and cowardly and we have not only the truth, but also God, on our side. Now get out there and start warning all of your friends and family ASAP.

A Critical Vote for SEOmoz Fans - Should We Be Covering the News?Blog Post: February 02, 2008
First of all, I really appreciate you asking us first. I wish more companies would ask their customers, clients and even employees before they jump in head first.
I voted depends. I selected this answer because if you are just going to report strictly on the news, then I say no. I can get news anywhere. But if SEOmoz was going to provide commentary on how news could impact the industry, I would vote yes.
I would appreciate your opinions on major news, such as Microsoft's bid for Yahoo!. How you think an acquistion like that would affect search engine optimizers, etc.
Thank you for all of your hard work!

Shorthanded Lady Flames still potent on attack, deep in goal
September 20, 2013 | Lynchburg, Va.
Though team depth isn't quite what he'd like it to be to start the season, Liberty University Division I women's hockey head coach Paul Bloomfield is cautiously optimistic as the Lady Flames open their season against the Tri-City (N.C.) Selects on Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 2:15 p.m. at the LaHaye Ice Center.
Liberty advanced all the way to the ACHA DI national championship game after being ranked No. 1 in the national poll for the final three months of last season. However, after graduating three of their top five scorers from last season, the Lady Flames landed just two new recruits, forward Courtney Gilmour and defender Marissa Graham, who scored the tying goal in a 2-1 exhibition win over the Hamilton Hawks last month at LaHaye.
Two other players didn't come back and Liberty must await the return of forward Catharine Burrell and defender Madison Fischer, who are recovering from offseason knee and ankle surgeries, respectively. That leaves 15 active players on the roster to start the season.
"We're a little thinner on the bench this year," Bloomfield said. "We've got enough bodies for three lines, but we need everybody and we've got to keep everybody healthy because we have no extras."
In the meantime, Bloomfield is looking for others to step into leadership roles.
"It's been good to see the freshmen of last year taking on more responsibility," he said, referring to sophomore forward Carrie Jickling and defenders Jenny McArthur and Brittany Hymers. "We'll be counting on them to settle down and get accomplished what we need to get accomplished."
Jickling was Liberty's second-leading scorer last year with 15 goals and 15 assists in ACHA play, followed closely by fellow forward Amanda Grainger (13 goals, 14 assists).
"Amanda comes through with goals and she gets them through hard work," Bloomfield said. "Sarah Stevenson (who led the Lady Flames with 16 assists) is very quick. We may put her and Amanda and Courtney (Gilmour) together on the same line and see what happens."
Nikki McCombe, younger sister of DI men's hockey captain Andrew McCombe, played center last year, but is shifting to left wing this season, complemented by Stephanie St. Amand.
The Lady Flames could be stronger on the defensive end at the start of the season. They will rely on senior captain Courtney Fischer, Madison's cousin, junior assistant captain Autumn Kucharczyk, Graham, Hymers, McArthur, and Sarah Fowler in front of a trio of talented goaltenders.
"Marissa is just a freshman, but she is big and has experience and I'm counting on her to adjust quickly (to the college game)," Bloomfield said. "Hymers and Autumn Kucharczyk are steady and Courtney (Fischer) is very dependable. She's big and strong and she doesn't make mistakes."
Sam Rupp returns for her third season in goal after logging 1,140 minutes between the pipes last year, when she ranked among the ACHA's leaders with a 1.05 goals-against average, a 94 save percentage, and six shutouts. Fellow junior Chantal Lischynski, who started as a freshman before being sidelined by injury, and sophomore Kristina Toppazzini didn't get as much ice time last year, but they held their own when they were in the cage. They were credited with six shutouts themselves and Lischynski boasted a 1.00 goals-against average and 95 save percentage.
"Chantal may get more playing time this season," Bloomfield said. "She's as healthy as she's going to be, and has the determination. She wants to be more active in her role."
They will be tested this weekend as the Tri-City Selects feature forward Kristy Knight, who set team records in goals (49), assists (26), and points (75) last season.

This section is dedicated to women of color bloggers who have pledged to support us by blogging about issues and stories of red, issues/stories of red consist of many things such as:
- Physical violence committed against women of color
- Laws and policies that make it difficult to protect women of color from violence
- Stories of support for why they are wearing red and why others should wear red
Listed below are Women of Color Bloggers who have created blogs about issues and/or stories of red. To access the story please click on the link next to it:
This is from Alexis. G.'s blog, http://brokenbeautiful.wordpress.com/
Today, Wednesday October 31st 2007 women of color and allies around the country are wearing red as part of a collective healing and revealing process in response to sexual violence against women of color. This collective red is meant to be antidote to shame, a warning sign to those would continue to blame women of color for the outrageous abuses that our society condones against us. This collective red is meant to fill in the missing frame of the black and white of Jena. This red is an invocation of gendered wounds and demands that we remember what Ida B. Wells told us, which is that the lynching of black men and women and the rape of black women and men are twin tools of the same repression. And blood is red.
In 1973, when Toni Morrison published her second novel Sula, she changed black feminist literary criticism forever. In fact, I like to day that black feminists created black feminist literary criticism to deal with Sula, the character and the text. In partnership with her first novel The Bluest Eye, Morrison's Sula does more than insert black female characters into a literary scene that had ignored and caricaturized them. With these two novels Morrison insists that the very form of the novel must bend and bow and breathe and move to witness the experiences of black women and girls. The Bluest Eye could have been the first contemporary black female bildungsroman (coming of age story), except that Pecola, the main character (but not necessarily the protagonist) never grows up. Incestuous rape and violent racism shatter anything that would dare look like growth in that novel. Even the flowers. One could argue that in The Bluest Eye white supremacy (in the voice of the falling apart Dick and Jane reading primers) is the protagonist, and Pecola herself is the antagonist, criminalized for a small attempt at existence and vanguished by the pervasive triumph of racism, as patriarchalism, as capitalism and the death of a soul, the splitting of a mind. The Bluest Eye is Morrison's first major study of what it means to be re(a)d. What happens when we are excluded from the very language we learn to read in? What are the dreadful consequences of an agreed upon social reading of black girls that spells us "worthless"?
Sula could have been the first contemporary black female bildungsroman, except that whereas The Bluest Eye leaves the main character with a split mind, witnessed by the black girls who survive, Sula is an intersubjective novel with two protagonists that cannot exist without each other, Sula and Nel grow apart, but the love between girls is the miracle, hope and home of this novel (a theme Morrison will return to in her most recent novel Love).
Sula arrived well placed in time to become the catalyst that it was and is for black feminist literary criticism. The book was published right when the first black women's lit courses were being taught in newly formed Black Studies and Women's Studies programs in colleges in the NorthEast. The two foundational texts of black feminist literary studies, Mae Gwendolyn Henderson's "Speaking in Tongues: Dialogics, Dialectics and the Black Women Writer's Literary Tradition" and Barbara Smith's "Towards a Black Feminist Criticism" both read Sula as their primary text and as an instance through which to imagine what black feminist literary criticism could be. Even though Morrison wouldn't achieve national recognition until she "manned" up…or won the National Book of the Month Club selection for Song of Solomon (a radical and beautiful and rich book in it's own rite), Sula was the book black feminists clung to. Audre Lorde mentions in an interview that she doesn't care that it was Song of Solomon that Morrison won the award for…it is Sula that "lit me up like a Christmas tree".
And indeed one of the topics we can discuss is why Morrison gained national recognition once she wrote a novel that centered around a black man. It might be helpful to realize that when Morrison won the National Book of the Month Club selection she became the first African-American writer since Richard Wright to do so.
The passages that cause black feminists to canonize Sula are the passages about mutual self invention that occur between Sula and Nel. The most cited passage is the one where the narrator explains the destined friendship of the two girls noting that "having long ago realized they were neither white nor male…they went about creating something else to be." This is a proposition as far reaching as to appear in Afro-Scottish Maud Sulter's description of a art exhibit she curated in England and as long lasting as to reappear as the "different sort of subject" that Hortense Spillers asks for in her 1987 essay "Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe". The two other moments of the text that black feminists theorists drew in the sky are Sula's insistence when her grandmother suggests she should settle down and have some babies that "I don't want to make someone else. I want to make myself." This challenge to motherhood completes the critique of heteropatriarchy that allows Barbara Smith to claim Sula as a "lesbian" text alongside the books final revelation that the loss of a husband is nothing compared with the loss of a girl friend. And the book ends with the word that has framed all of my days. Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl.
Spiraling out into this moment the desperation in that one world, girl speaks the prayer to the only thing that I believe can save us, and that is the love between women and girls of color that fills us with the bravery to make a new world language. When the Irish boys in the novel attempt to attack Nel and Sula, with designs on sexual abuse, Sula cuts of the tip of her finger…shifting the boys' reading of her from prey to predator. Re(a)d is the color of threat. Is the color of blood, of nothing to lose, of everything born to be remade.
So today as I dress myself in re(a)d on behalf of my sisters and my own survival take me as a sign.

|Head Coach
|(617) 495-1991
|20th Season
Peter Brand has led Harvard's men's and women's fencing programs to their most successful era in school history since he joined the Crimson staff prior to the 1999-2000 season. He is the seventh coach in the 118-year history of Harvard fencing and just the second to lead the women's squad. Brand has compiled a 212-88 overall record and a 55-37 mark in the Ivy League with the men's team. On the women's side, he owns a 258-75-1 overall record and a 69-41 mark against Ancient Eight opponents.
In that short time, Brand has delivered Harvard its first NCAA team championship, a combined four Intercollegiate Fencing Association three-weapon titles, two IFA six-weapon championships, and a combined 12 Ivy League titles - four by the women and eight by the men. He has also coached 78 All-Americans in his time behind the Harvard bench.
Harvard's rise to the top of intercollegiate fencing has been nothing short of meteoric since Brand has been at the helm of the program. In the year prior to his arrival, Harvard's men's team had finished in last place in the Ivy League, while the women were fourth in a six-team league.
It took just five years for that to change. The 2004-05 season saw Harvard win its third Ivy League men's championship, and its first since the 1976-77 season, as the Crimson shared the league title with Columbia. Harvard's women, meanwhile, won the title for the first time in school history, going 5-0 in the league and 9-0 overall. Harvard went to claim men's and women's championships at the IFA Championships while taking the combined trophy as well. Emily Cross '08-09 won an individual national title in foil, as the Crimson finished sixth at the NCAA Championships -- at the time the highest finish in school history. In turn, the United States Fencing Coaches Association announced that Brand was chosen as the first winner of the Schreff Sword as the USFCA Outstanding Coach of the Year.
Brand's teams managed to surpass those accomplishments in the 2005-06 season. Both the men's and women's teams again won Ivy League championships, with both schools earning perfect league records. The men's team went 11-0 in dual competition, while the women went 12-1 as both teams again captured the three-weapon IFA titles while combining for the six-weapon championship. That success carried on to the NCAA regional competition held at Harvard as the Crimson qualified the maximum allotment of fencers for the NCAA Championships in Houston. There, Harvard stunned the traditional fencing powers as the Crimson claimed its first NCAA fencing title, and just its third NCAA team championship in any sport. Benji Ungar '08-09 also won an individual gold medal at the NCAA Championships in the epee division. In 2006-07, Brand coached Tim Hagamen '07 to an individual national championship in the men's sabre division, as Hagamen defeated Notre Dame's Patrick Ghattas, 15-14.
In 2007-08, Brand led a young Crimson squad to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships as five men and five women qualified for nationals. Alexa Weingarden '08 earned All-America Second Team honors in the women's sabre, while Alexandra Sneider '11 was All-America honorable mention in the same weapon. On the men's side, Edward Sherrill '08 was received All-America Second Team accolades in the epee and Steve Ahn '08 captured All-America honorable mention in the sabre.
During the summer of 2008, Harvard sent two fencers to the Beijing Olympics, as Emily Cross '08-09 and Noam Mills competed in the foil and epee, respectively. Cross became the first-ever Harvard fencer to medal at the Olympics, as she earned a silver in the women's team foil.
During the 2008-09 campaign, the team finished fifth at the NCAA Championships and earned four All-America selections (Noam Mills, Caroline Vloka, Emily Cross and Benjamin Ungar). The women's squad posted a 20-1 overall record and was a perfect 6-0 against Ivy League opponents en route to its third Ancient Eight title in five seasons.
The 2009-10 season was highlighted with the crowning of Harvard's second female NCAA Champion as Caroline Vloka captured the sabre title. The Crimson also garnered six All-Americans, four on the women's side and two from the men's team. Vloka and Noam Mills earned their second-straight All-America first team nods. Valentin Staller claimed a spot on the All-America second team with a sixth-place finish in the men's sabre. Tommasso di Robilant (12th, foil), Artemisha Goldfeder (12th, foil) and Shelby MacLeod (11th, foil) all received All-America honorable mention. The Crimson claimed a fourth-place team finish at the NCAA Championships. On the year, the men's team went 14-7 overall and 3-2 in the Ivy League. The women's team boasted a 15-8 mark on the season and went 3-3 in the Ancient Eight.
In 2010-11, the Harvard women had its second straight individual national champion, this time from freshman Alexandra Kiefer in the foil. The Crimson had a combined five All-Americans, including two freshmen in Kiefer and men's rookie Michael Raynis in epee. Raynis helped the men's squad win its seventh Ivy League title and first since 2007 with a title-clinching victory over Yale's Peter Cohen in the final bout. A total of 11 men's and women's Harvard fencers received all Ivy-League accolades for their efforts at the championship.
During the 2011-12 campaign, the Crimson earned six All-America selections, including senior Valentin Staller, who placed second in the NCAA Championships in the sabre. The Crimson finished sixth at NCAAs, as 12 fencers qualified for the championships.
Brand continued to keep the Crimson teams in the national picture in 2012-13, adding a third-straight top-six finish at the NCAA Championships with a team that earned six All-America selections.
In 2014, Brand coached Adrienne Jarocki to an individual sabre national championship as a freshman, marking the sixth individual national championship under his guidance. The 2014 squad set a school record with nine total All-Americans.
Brand was named the inaugural Ivy League Coach of the Year on the men's side in 2015, guiding the team to it's third-straight Ivy Championship. Harvard posted six total All-Americans, three from the men's team and three from the women's squad.
In 2016, the women took the reins and dominated the strips as it captured its first Ivy League title since 2009, making it the fourth for the program. Adrienne Jarocki was the star of the women's team finishing with an 84-7 record and her second NCAA Championship title. The men finished fourth in the Ivy League donning a 3-2 conference record and 10-3 overall. The Crimson posted four All-Americans overall, two from each team.
During the 2017 campaign, Brand assisted the women's and men's team to their 10th-consecutive Beanpot victory. Brand coached Eli Dershwitz to the NCAA National Title in men's sabre and assisted Adrienne Jarocki to her sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The men finished fifth in the Ivy League and the women finished fourth. Four members of the Crimson earned All-America accolades: Albert Chien, Eli Dershwitz, George Haglund and Adrienne Jarocki.
Brand was named the Ivy League Men's Co-Coach of the Year in 2018, while guiding the men and women to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Brand coached Eli Dershwitz to his second-straight NCAA Championship title in sabre, the first men's fencer in program history to win back-to-back crowns, while freshman Cindy Gao clinched a third-place victory in epee. Six members of the Crimson squad garnered All-America accolades, while four men and two women were named to the All-Ivy first team. Additionally, the men reached their highest ranking in program history at No. 1 this season.
In 2019, Harvard took third at the NCAA Championships, with six men's and women's fencers reaching All-America status. Additionally, Eli Dershwitz rose in the world rankings to be the top-ranked fencer in the world.
Before taking the reins of the Harvard program, Brand spent six years as the head men's and women's coach at Brown University and previously served as an assistant coach at MIT.
At Brown, Brand guided a successful program that regularly sent qualifiers to the NCAA Championships, which included three members of his 1998-99 team. He coached the Bears' women's team to a pair of New England championships (1994 and 1995), while the men's squad captured the 1993 New England title. Brand was the Northeast Collegiate Fencing Conference's 1994-95 Coach of the Year. While at MIT, he also gave private lessons and one of his students, Peter Cox, was selected to the 1996 United States Olympic Team.
Brand has an extensive background as a competitor as well. In 1972, he was chosen to the U.S. Junior Fencing Team, and one year later was a gold medalist at the Ottawa Shield, one of three elite fencing events held in Canada. He placed seventh at the 1975 Canadian national championships and fourth at the 1985 U.S. Championships. Brand participated in the 1987 U.S. Olympic Sports Festival, and in 1989 was a gold medalist for the U.S. at the Maccabiah Games.
Brand is a native of Israel who immigrated to the United States at age 13. He resides in Cambridge, with his wife, Jacqueline.

Yorkshire Vikings have banned one-day captain Alex Lees for two games, suspended for 12 months, for comments made to the media about umpire Martin Saggers after Friday night's defeat to Nottinghamshire Outlaws at Trent Bridge.
Lees has since issued an apology to Mr Saggers.
The suspension is liable to be activated by, and under the terms of, the ECB Cricket Discipline Commission, should Lees breach any ECB Directive within the 12-month period.
Lees, who has accepted the club's decision, said: "I regret comments made following Friday night's game and I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Martin.
"These comments are uncharacteristic and were made in the heat of the moment.
"I understand the seriousness of the offence and regret these actions. I am now keen to put this incident behind me and concentrate on the important games coming up at Headingley this week."
Chairman of the Cricket Discipline Commission, Gerard Elias QC, stated: "I am grateful to Yorkshire County Cricket Club for taking such prompt and decisive action in this matter.
"It is an excellent example of a County recognising the standard of conduct that is required by its players and taking measures which clearly demonstrate that anything below that standard will not be accepted."

Filmmaker George Lucas Wednesday filed for a permit to demolish a building in downtown San Anselmo to make way for a small new park that will become the permanent home of two bronze statues of his popular characters Indiana Jones and Yoda.
Lucas previously started preparations to relocate a large, historical fresco that is located in the building that stands next to town hall. San Anselmo town officials, however, ordered the work halted until the demolition permit, which includes submittal of a historical analysis, is approved.
Lucas, who lives in San Anselmo, announced this summer that he is donating the land the building sits on to the San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce, which hopes to raise $150,000 to $200,000 to create a park. Lucas said then that he would donate the statues and has since also agreed to pay for demolition of the building, which includes addresses 535, 539 and 541 San Anselmo Ave.
"The work just got a little out of order," said San Anselmo Town Manager Debra Stutsman. "We wanted them to submit their historical analysis and receive a demolition permit before they do any work."
Stutsman said the demolition application and historical analysis will be reviewed by the town's Planning Commission and Historical Commission.
Sarita Patel, Lucas's estate manager, said, "I think there was some confusion with the town. What we were doing was prepping the mural for its move."
The fresco was painted in 1945 by Jose Moya del Pino, founder of the Marin Art & Garden Center. Its subject matter is the history of pharmacology. The building in which the fresco resides was built the same year to house the Rossi Brothers Pharmacy.
Patel said Lucas is preserving the fresco and donating it to the Spanish consulate in San Francisco, in care of The Spain-USA Foundation.
Lucas hired Annie Rosenthal, a fine art conservator based in San Rafael, to evaluate the condition of the fresco and restore it as best as possible before its move. Rosenthal reported back to Lucas that while a majority of the fresco remains intact, about 5 percent to 10 percent of the design has been lost due to high humidity in the room in which it is located. Rosenthal reattached as much of the flaking paint as possible.
San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce President Connie Rodgers, who has been working closely with Lucas on the effort to create a park, said demolition of the building won't begin until after the first of the year.
"We are not going to do anything through the holiday season," Rodgers said. "We want to make sure there are no disturbances and the merchants get to utilize the maximum selling season."
Rodgers hopes to have the demolition completed in time to do new plantings for the park this spring, and she expects the park to open by summer.
"Definitely in time to be able to market the town to America's Cup visitors in August," Rodgers said.
The centerpiece of the new park will be a fountain that will incorporate the Yoda statue. A similar Yoda fountain is located at the entrance to the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco, where Lucas moved most of his operations in 2005.
Patel said, "The fountain is going to be very similar to the one in San Francisco

Michael Ballack has ended his playing career at the age of 36 after being released by Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
Ballack was believed to be in talks with clubs in Australia about extending his career there, but he announced today that his appearance in a Leverkusen shirt on 5 May this year was his last.
"At the age of 36, I can look back on a long and wonderful time in professional football," he said in a statement released by his agent Michael Becker, and published by Germany's dpa agency.
"As a child, I could never have even dreamt of having such a career.
"It was a privilege working with first-class coaches and fantastic team-mates. Of course I am going to miss running out in front of 80,000 spectators or scoring goals."
Ballack became a free agent at the end of June after Leverkusen opted not to offer their former captain a contract extension.
He has had plenty of offers in the meantime, but said: "The last few months without playing football have shown me that the time had come to give it up.
"I am now looking forward to the next chapter in my life and would like to thank my family and all the amazing people who have supported me, pushed me and accompanied me," he added.
"They have made a major contribution to my success."
Ballack began his professional career in 1995 and won the first of four Bundesliga titles with Kaiserslautern in 1998.
He missed out on a major trophy with Leverkusen in his first spell at the club and in 2002 he finished as a runner-up in the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Champions League and World Cup.
However, he won three titles in four years with Bayern Munich before moving to Chelsea, where he won the Premier League, the FA Cup three times and the League Cup.
Having made 98 appearances for Germany, he missed out on a century of caps when a dangerous tackle by Kevin-Prince Boateng in the 2010 FA Cup final led to him missing that summer's World Cup due to injury and losing his captain's armband as he failed to fight his way back into the national team.
He spent the last two seasons of his career with Leverkusen and appeared for the last time in a 4-1 win over Nurnberg, leaving the field to a standing ovation in the 51st minute of what turned out to be his last-ever game as a professional footballer.

You know I couldn't make a tut on Biggie without making a whole new lesson on his once friend, but turned rival. Here is another take on a rapper that I am very fond of, "how to draw 2Pac", step by step. 2Pac as you know was an american rapper, poet, actor, and song writer. He literally changed the way rap is done. I have yet to hear someone come out as good as or even better than 2Pac. He was so poetic with his words, and so passionate about what he did. Some of my favorite songs from 2Pac are; Me and My Girlfriend, Dear Mama, Rear-view, I An't Mad at Cha, and others. I like the deep-tracks as well as the the stuff that was played on the radio. He to me will always be one of the greats, so I really wanted to draw 2Pac as I remembered him, flashy with money, bald, and charismatic. I hope you enjoy drawing 2Pac as well, I will be back with more great stuff to draw so stay tuned in. Peace out folks!

An Iowa man who happened upon a woolly mammoth skeleton in his yard is quickly filling up his living room with bones.
He's not sure what to do next with the skeleton.
"Build another room off the side of the home and put it together? I don't know, I haven't decided yet," the man, identified only as John, told Des Moines' local ABC affiliate ABC5.
John and his sons happened upon the first bone, a mammoth femur, two years ago in their Oskaloosa, Iowa, yard. He realized what he had found when he spotted what looked like a marrow line around the top of the ball joint of the femur.
"I said, 'Boys, that's a bone. That's a really big bone,'" he told ABC 5.
John dug up the massive femur — and then some more bones, too.
As he kept finding more mammoth bones, he brought in earth-moving equipment, plus archaeologists and paleontologists from the University of Iowa.
The scientists were excited by the discovery, which they said was rare for how many bones — among them the femur, vertebrae and ribs — from the same animal had been found in one place.
John said that he expects to find the mammoth's skull sometime soon — but what he'll do with it or the many bones lying around his living room is less clear.

Friday's push above 14,000 in the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI) has everyone wondering whether the average will rise another 155 points to hit new all-time highs. For that to happen, the stock market is going to have to see continued positive news on a number of fronts. For the Dow, as earnings season progresses, stocks that are reporting their results have the biggest chances of pushing the market higher. And with each $1 of share price gains equating to more than 7.5 points in the Dow, the boosts that could come if Dow components come out with positive reports could be what kicks the average up to new record levels.
With that in mind, let's look at four key dates that Dow-watching investors should look forward to during the rest of this month.
Feb. 5
This Tuesday, Disney (NYSE:DIS) will report its quarterly earnings. Even though analysts expect a modest decrease in earnings per share from year-ago levels, the stock has been setting new all-time highs on enthusiasm about Disney's longer-term prospects.
What could potentially be an even bigger deal, though, is Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm. It may be a while before we start seeing Star Wars and other franchise content coming from the newly acquired company, but in the long run, Lucasfilm could make past acquisitions of Pixar and even Marvel look insignificant by comparison. Investors will look closely for guidance about Disney's plans for Lucasfilm, and the answers will be important in assessing just how much further Disney's stock can rise.
Feb. 12
Next week, Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) continues the parade of earnings reports. Expected earnings-per-share gains of 10% from last year look pretty impressive, but investors will be looking for reassurance that the company is continuing to move in the right direction despite some new challenges.
In particular, anti-obesity campaigns are starting to pick up steam, and the beverage industry is a natural target with its sugared drinks. With its release of an anti-obesity ad last month, Coke created both controversy and anger among some of its prospective consumers. But despite inevitable missteps, it's a positive thing that Coca-Cola is trying to get in front of the health concerns about its products rather than waiting for more regulation to do the job for it.
Feb. 21
Later in the month, two companies report on the same day: Wal-Mart and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ). The two may seem to have little in common, but both have a few similarities that may play out in their earnings releases.
For Wal-Mart, investors will want reassurance that its rebound from years of same-store losses is truly sustainable. Given concerns about scandals in Mexico and broadening internal investigations into other parts of its global operations, Wal-Mart will need to demonstrate its ongoing growth strategies both domestically and internationally while also giving a strategy to defend against the possibility of slowing U.S. economic growth.
In many ways, that's not all that different from what HP faces. The Autonomy scandal is similarly distracting HP from its core mission of restructuring and improving its fundamentals by accentuating more promising business lines. The decline of the PC industry shows few signs of slowing, and so HP will have to demonstrate its continued relevance by shifting gears.
Of the two, Wal-Mart has the healthier stock at the moment, but both companies have the potential to move much higher. That could be a big catalyst for a move toward Dow records this month.
Feb. 26
Finally, toward the end of the month, we have what could be the most important Dow earnings release of February: Home Depot (NYSE:HD). With the home-improvement retailer having jumped the gun on the housing rebound and soared to within a couple points of its all-time high, the big question will be whether Home Depot can deliver on all the expectations everyone has about its success.
If any quarter can help Home Depot, it's this one. Repairs related to Hurricane Sandy should give Home Depot as big a boost as it can expect from a one-time event, and as homeowner sentiment keeps improving, the company should see more remodeling and improvement activity lead to higher sales.
Get ready
Even though February is the shortest month of the year, it's shaping up to be an exciting one. Keep your eye on these four dates and be sure to watch how your portfolio does as stocks start to get close to those long-awaited records.

Using IceCC
IceCC and OE
It is possible to compile on a cluster of machines with OE, and quite easily so. This code is still somewhat experimental, but should rapidly stabilize thanks to the work that Ifaistos has put into it recently and previous work from likewise and zecke (I hope I did not forget anyone). You need to take the following steps to prepare for compilation with icecc. How to set up icecc itself is beyond this intro.
- Put INHERIT += "icecc" in your local.conf
- copy the customized create-icecc-env.sh script to /path/to/your/oe/root/tmp/ and make it executable.
- set ICECC_ENV_EXEC = /path/to/your/oe/root/tmp/create-icecc-env.sh in your local.conf
- set ICECC_PATH = /usr/bin/icecc in your local.conf (be sure this matches the output of 'which icecc')
User now can specify if certain packages or packages belonging to class should not use icecc to distribute compile jobs to remote machines, but handled localy, by defining ICECC_USER_CLASS_BL and ICECC_USER_PACKAGE_BL with the appropriate values in local.conf
ICECC config
# # Nice level of running compilers # # ICECC_NICE_LEVEL="5" ICECC_NICE_LEVEL="5" # # icecc daemon log file # # ICECC_LOG_FILE="/var/log/iceccd.log" ICECC_LOG_FILE="/var/log/iceccd.log" # # Identification for the network the scheduler and daemon run on. # You can have several distinct icecc networks in the same LAN # for whatever reason. # # ICECC_NETNAME="" ICECC_NETNAME="oe" # # You can overwrite here the number of jobs to run in parallel. Per # default this depends on the number of (virtual) CPUs installed. # # ICECC_MAX_JOBS="" ICECC_MAX_JOBS="3" # # This is the directory where the icecc daemon stores the environments # it compiles in. In a big network this can grow quite a bit, so use some # path if your /tmp is small - but the user icecc has to write to it. # # ICECC_BASEDIR="/var/cache/icecc" ICECC_BASEDIR="/var/cache/icecc" # # icecc scheduler log file # # ICECC_SCHEDULER_LOG_FILE="/var/log/icecc_scheduler.log" ICECC_SCHEDULER_LOG_FILE="/var/log/icecc_scheduler.log" # # If the daemon can't find the scheduler by broadcast (e.g. because # of a firewall) you can specify it. # # ICECC_SCHEDULER_HOST="" ICECC_SCHEDULER_HOST=""
Local Configuration
A sample local.conf entry for icecc that does not distribute compiles jobs for native packages looks like this. Change the paths to match your setup
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 10" ICECC_PATH = "/usr/bin/icecc" ICECC_ENV_EXEC = "/proj/oplinux-0.2/op-linux/branches/oplinux-0.2/tmp/icecc-create-env" ICECC_USER_CLASS_BL = " native" INHERIT += "icecc"
Icecc and sstate interaction
Inheriting icecc will change checksums for all task, so you cannot reuse sstate from some remote SSTATE_MIRROR if you're inheriting with icecc and builder which is populating SSTATE_MIRROR isn't.
In order to reuse sstate archives you need to inherit icecc on all builders. For builders where icecc doesn't make sense (e.g. laptop when traveling), you can disable it with ICECC_DISBLED, that will disable icecc functionality while keepipng the same checksums.
Icecc and external toolchain
You'll need http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2013-March/037147.html icc_get_tool needs this modification in order to look for external tools when internal tool does not exist in STAGING_BINDIR_TOOLCHAIN
Successes and Failures
This whole explanation is probably highly dependent on the icecc version used. Please do add success reports here. Also note that a lot of packages turn PARALLEL_MAKE off, as they break if compiled on a single machine, although i have noticed that they do not fail under icecc. Any feedback on this would be helpful
- mixing versions of the icecc package can create problems. For example the icecc package from dapper and edgy are incompatible.
- I (Laibsch) have a working setup between two edgy machines now. I had trouble until I set ICECC_NETNAME and ICECC_SCHEDULER_HOST to the respective, pingable hostnames of the machines. This is weird since I am on a LAN (192.168.1.x) for both machines and there is no firewall.

Joseph Gaï Ramaka's Karmen Geï is an exuberant African rendition of the classic Bizet opera Carmen, set in Senegal and filled with dark, sweaty writhing in the vein of a Matrix Zion war ritual. From the sensual gyrations of its first scene, it brings a perpetual heat to the screen that's difficult to look away from. That being said, Karmen Geï never solidifies into a complete film and must make do with merely being a bold, beautiful, if frustratingly meandering adaptation.
Karmen (Djeïnaba Diop Gaï) is a dark, lanky, statuesque beauty sultry-dancing through nearly every scene of this film, and even when she's not dancing, you can see the buoyant boogie in her eyes—the gyrations, the bright swaying cloth at her thighs almost revealing the meaning of life. She's filled to brimming with raw sexuality, and because of her, the movie practically sweats. Even in prison, Karmen is tantalizing, particularly to the bemused warden, Angélique (Stéphanie Biddle), who keeps her behind bars. When Karmen uses her considerable rhythmic charms to seduce the warden, she soon finds herself fleeing into the Dakar underworld. Before you can catch your breath, Karmen is gyrating at the wedding of a local police corporal, Lamine (Magaye Niang), denouncing the political machinations of the guests, brawling with the bride, and bedding the groom. Through it all, Karmen charms like a snake, beguiling and dangerous.
Karmen Geï is filled with intoxicating African drumbeats that seem to step right into the rhythm of your heart. Kudos to jazzman David Murray and his collaborators on a film that's overflowing with music, whether it's streaming in the background or belting from Karmen's throat. The ever-present pulsing rhythm becomes a character unto itself—and, next to Karmen herself, is by far the most interesting character of the film. The great disappointment of Karmen Geï is that no one in the sphere of the titular character is even remotely as interesting as she is. The people who fall under her sway lack any resonance, and so the film is nearly devoid of meaningful human interaction—even between Karmen and her fervent admirer, Lamine, who gradually wilts beneath the heat of Karmen's erotic charge.
Indeed, the bulk of the film seems to similarly wilt under that heat, but what heat it is! As a tale of classic revolutionary passion set in darkest Africa, Karmen Geï comes across as rather flat in the arena of sheer storytelling. But as an arousing spectacle of throaty desire, the film shines with the benefit of its lead performance and the stirring beat of its other-cultural harmonies.
Kino presents Karmen Geï in a disappointingly non-anamorphic widescreen transfer of the film's original 1.85:1 theatrical presentation. This is a colorful, rich-looking film that really would have benefited from enhancement. That being said, detail is pretty good for a non-anamorphic effort, offering a fair degree of depth and sharpness. Colors are good but not outstanding, lacking a certain vividness and richness that was obviously intended.
The Dolby Digital 2.0 track, in French and Wolof, is nothing to get worked up about, but it provides an adequate stereo presentation that's obviously front-heavy. It's a pretty center-focused affair, and dialog/singing sound just on the edge of brittle. Still, voices remain clear, even though they lack true resonance.
The DVD contains one supplement that's worthy of your perusal, and that's a 27-minute Interview with Joanna Grabski, Professor of African Visual Culture at Denison University. Interspersed with footage from the film, this mostly talking-head chat is actually an enlightening extra, adding a great deal to your understanding of the culture from which this film springs. Grabski offers an eloquent breakdown of the cultural themes and symbols at work in Karmen Geï.
You also get a brief Still Gallery.
Definitely worth a look for the magnetic performance of Djeïnaba Diop Gaï, Karmen Geï is otherwise a fairly flat film that frustrates despite stellar moments. The non-anamorphic transfer is a surprising disappointment, but the sole interesting supplement is quite informative. Worth a rental.

Oblique strain sends Liriano to disabled list
PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left oblique. The left-hander was the second Pirates starter to hit the DL this week, joining right-hander Gerrit Cole and leaving yet another hole in the club's rotation.
Liriano was removed from his Tuesday start in the fourth inning when he felt discomfort in his left side after his 55th pitch of the night. He noted his side still bothered him when he spoke with reporters after the Pirates' 7-3 loss to the Cubs, and said he would undergo an MRI on Wednesday.
Stolmy Pimentel was activated from the disabled list, and the right-hander will take Liriano's roster spot. Manager Clint Hurdle said he was unsure of who would make Liriano's next scheduled start, which will come on Sunday in Miami.
Pimentel, who was sidelined since early May with inflammation in his right shoulder, is a candidate. He was used in a relief role before his injury and has never made a Major League start, but he made 148 starts in the Minors in 154 appearances. Hurdle mentioned reliever Casey Sadler as another option, adding that the team could dip to the Minors as well.
"Internally, [Sadler] is one of the names we're talking about," Hurdle said. "[Pimentel's] name, I imagine will be in. And we'll revisit with our Triple-A staff on guys that are there, as well, that could make that start."
If the Pirates do go in the Minor League direction, it will probably be a move for Vance Worley. The 26-year-old righty, who is 3-2 with a 4.30 ERA in seven starts for Triple-A Indianapolis, has 56 Major League starts to his name. His next start is slated for Friday.
Whoever the Pirates choose to start Sunday may be doing so for just one outing. Cole is on schedule to come off the DL next week, and the Pirates have a day off Monday.
Liriano, who is 1-6 with a 4.60 ERA in 14 starts and 72 1/3 innings this season, said he hasn't previously had an issue with his oblique, but this marks the sixth trip to the DL in the 30-year-old's nine-season career. Liriano's last DL stint was because of a fracture in his right forearm and delayed the start of his 2013 season.
With Cole going on the DL on Sunday with right shoulder fatigue and the Pirates designating left-hander Wandy Rodriguez for assignment three weeks ago, the team currently has just two of the five starters it began the season with.

I'm kind of a sleep addict, you see, especially on chilly Sunday mornings in November. I suspect my love of a mid-morning snooze is actually physiological. While I've never had a formal diagnosis, the research I've done into Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome has certainly been enlightening. My body naturally seems to want to stay up late--until one, or two in the morning--and sleep late, too. Given my druthers, I'd never be out of bed before 9:30.
Some might say that I'm just lazy. Maybe that's true. I know that when I was in school, or working 9-5 jobs, I never, ever adjusted to the time change. I'd start out rising optimistically early, but by the second or third week in, I'd feel like an ill-slept shadow of myself--with the bags under my eyes to prove it.
You might wonder what this all has to do with writing. The answer, for me, is everything. When I first started writing, I came upon the same advice over and over again: that in order to write, and be a real writer, one must rise early (at five, six, or seven a.m.! The horror!). With a cup of coffee in hand, the early bird writer can peck out some words without the real, waking world threatening to intrude on the creative process.
Because it's what everyone said one had to do to be a serious writer, I've tried this advice now-and-again (like jobs that start at 8:30 a.m., it never seems like such a terrible idea . . . at first). And it always winds up the same way: on the first day, I do fine. I get out 500 words, or maybe a thousand. On the second day, the words come slower. By the third or fourth, inspiration hits . . . at eleven o'clock at night. I churn out several thousand words in a flurry, then, the next morning, I oversleep.
So much for an early morning writing habit.
I suppose the advice to write early if you want to write often is like all other writing advice: highly subjective. I much prefer the adage, "write when works for you." That might be a half hour on your lunch break, or late at night during reruns of Degrassi--or maybe you're even one of those strange creatures who actually can write early in the day! That's fine, too.
As long as you make a habit out of it, so long as you carve out regular space in your life for filling up the page, then you're a writer. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Lynn Harris' Zinnias quilt was inspired by a photo (shown below) of zinnias growing in her garden. She used a walking foot to quilt a beautiful texture of wavy lines across her quilt.
Here's what Lynn had to say about her quilt:
"The quilt was inspired by a row of Zinnias in my garden, and so I wanted to give an organic feel to the quilting. The bright row of half square triangles is very precisely pieced in a straight row. The quilting, therefore, needed to be more free and flowing. I chalk marked some straight lines vertically down the quilt and then with my walking foot sewed meandering lines that followed the general line of the marked lines. That kept the curved lines "in line" so to speak. I sewed these fairly close to fill in and give texture to the otherwise "empty" parts of the quilt."
Lynn finished her first quilt in 1976, when she was in middle school. Today she's a member of both the Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan, Modern Quilt Guilds. You can see more of Lynn's work on her blog, The Little Red Hen.
