Gabe's 2012 Wrap-Up
Gabe runs down the best and brightest stuff he reviewed for the site this year....
The Year of Hitchcock
Until 2012, there were not many Alfred Hitchcock movies available on Blu-ray disc. As far as I know, the only Hitchcock titles available on the format (in region A) before this year were Psycho (from Universal), North by Northwest (from Warner Bros), and The Lady Vanishes (from Criterion). That soon changed in January when Fox and MGM released three of the Master's pre-colour classics – Rebecca (Hitch's only Best Picture winner), Spellbound, and Notorious. These releases all feature strong, 1.37:1, black & white transfers and a decent collection of extras, but weren't given quite the celebratory roll-out as Universal's mammoth Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection, which was released in late October as part of the studio's 100th anniversary celebration. The Masterpiece Collection features 10 of the director's most celebrated films ( Saboteur, Shadow of a Doubt, Rope, Rear Window, The Trouble with Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds), along with his final five films ( Marnie, Torn Curtain, Topaz, Frenzy, and Family Plot), which aren't so celebrated, but still something worth owning in HD. The fan favourites all look and sound good to amazing, but there are some issues with the transfers on the latter five. These issues aside (and really, only Family Plot looks flat out bad), the collection is certainly worth owning and probably my personal favourite among the releases I've written about all year. Meanwhile, Paramount also re-released their Centennial Collection DVD version of To Catch a Thief onto Blu-ray format and the 1080p boost corrected many of the SD video's issues.
My complete Rebecca, Spellbound, and Notorious group review.
My complete Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection reviews, Part One, Part Two, and Part Three, all including comparison images.
My complete To Catch a Thief Blu-ray review.
And, just to break my first rule right off the bat, I'd like to note that Strangers on a Train, The 39 Steps and Dial M for Murder (in 3D) were also released on Blu-ray in 2012.
More Classic Making Their Blu-ray Debut
Next to the Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection, the coolest thing to come out of Universal's 100th anniversary celebration was a compendium of the studio's most famous classic era horror films. Released under the title Universal Classic Monsters Essential Collection, this release featured Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera (1943), and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Unlike the Hitchcock Collection, there were no major errors in terms of video or audio quality, making for a handsome collection of great-looking films and brimming with extras carried over from the older DVD collections. The only thing holding this set back is the fact that the 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera isn't very good, otherwise, I personally discovered new love for The Mummy and The Invisible Man I didn't even know I had. Hopefully, Universal's interest doesn't end with the centennial and more of the studio's classic horror is on the docket for Blu-ray release next year.
My complete Universal Classic Monsters Essential Collection review.
Hitchcock and Universal Monsters aside, it's likely that the most anticipated catalogue releases of 2012 were Paramount's (who was also celebrating its centennial in 2012) Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures and Universal's Jaws. I don't personally know many people that want to own a copy of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but otherwise, the Indiana Jones collection met expectations in terms of A/V quality (there have been some complaints about the colour-timing leaning too orange) and featured many of the extras from previous DVD versions while Jaws was given a truly stunning HD makeover and a liberal stuffing of extras, some of them new to home video.
My complete Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures review.
My complete Jaws review.
The other notable collection of titles I checked out this year was Fox and MGM's Forever Marilyn set, which featured the first home video HD releases of some Marilyn Monroe favourites, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, River of No Return, There's No Business Like Show Business, and The Seven Year Itch, along with re-releases of Some Like it Hot and The Misfits (both of which were made available the previous year as stand-alone releases). There weren't too many extras in this collection and There's No Business Like Show Business is kind of a bad movie, but the Technicolor and CinemaScope HD transfers are absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully the other Monroe titles popping up on Netflix's instant queue lately, like Bus Stop, Monkey Business, and We're Not Married, will signify a second Forever Marilyn set next year.
My complete Forever Marilyn review.
Other standout catalogue releases this year included Paramount's Sunset Boulevard and Chinatown, Disney's Ed Wood, Castle in the Sky, Finding Nemo and Lady and the Tramp: Diamond Edition, Universal's To Kill a Mockingbird: 50th Anniversary Edition, and MGM's The Apartment.
The Best of the Brand New
There were many great new releases throughout 2012, but many of the best ones eluded me. Or I was lazy and handed them off to Jonathan. The best of what I saw starts with Lionsgate's Blu-ray release of Drew Godard's Cabin in the Woods, a brilliantly fun horror comedy that is overflowing with amusing and informative extras. Also on the extras-heavy side of things is Fox's three-disc, 3D/2D release of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Once again, I'm cheating, because I didn't actually review the three-disc set, but, considering how hard it is to convince people that the film itself isn't terrible (I liked it!), I figure I need the extra bounce provided by the incredible documentary I didn't actually review.
My complete Cabin in the Woods review (with co-writing help from Jonathan).
My complete Prometheus 2D Blu-ray review.
Among the slightly less extras-heavy, but still perfectly pleasant new releases are: Disney's The Muppets, a triumphant return to form for the beloved felt creatures; Universal's Moonrise Kingdom, a triumphant return to live-action for director Wes Anderson; Paramount's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the series best film and animation director Brad Bird's first live-action feature; and Fox's Martha Marcy May Marlene, which was among the year's pleasant surprises.
As per usual, there were a handful of genuine shocks -– movies I assumed would be terrible that ended up being a good time. These start with the year's biggest financial flop, Disney's John Carter. Andrew Stanton's film is certainly uneven, but it's much better than the negative reviews would have you believe. It also looks and sounds spectacular on Blu-ray. Another surprise was Fox's release of Josh Trank's Chronicle, which overcame the tired tropes of the found footage and superhero subgenres to be an entertainingly unique mini-blockbuster. But the biggest surprise of them all was Fox's release of Paul W.S. Anderson's Three Musketeers, not because it was a good movie, by any means, but because it just wasn't that bad. It was, gulp, actually kind of entertaining. Alexandre Dumas must be rolling in his grave.
* My favourite film of the year was probably Rian Johnson's Looper, but there isn't time to include it here. I plan on adding a link after the fact.
Killing Time with TV Season Sets
When I first started reviewing DVDs, I used to love getting season sets in the mail. Covering something that extensive and large always felt like a real accomplishment. These days, I tend to greet a season set with apprehension and, in some cases, even disdain, because I now understand how much work they entail. Too often, the reward of accomplishment isn't worth putting a half-dozen other review items on the backburner. But some season sets are worth the effort and will be revisited even outside my requirements as a critic. This year's big TV on Blu-ray release would probably be season one of HBO's Game of Thrones – a painfully addicting mix of genres played out on a truly epic scale rarely seen on television. The Blu-ray package came in a classy fold out box, looked wonderful, sounded better than most blockbuster movie releases, and featured a wide array of special features, enough to keep a fan occupied for days. AMC and Lionsgate's release of Mad Men's fifth season also filled my time nicely. It was a pleasure revisiting the season again, despite having just finished it earlier in the year on its initial run. I also found myself very impressed with Paramount's Star Trek: The Next Generation season one Blu-ray release, which had a few minor sound issues across an episode or two, but otherwise gave a nice taste of what else to expect from further HD re-issues. High among this year's TV surprises was Fox's release of American Horror Story – one of 2012's most entertaining and enjoyably daft new series. So far, the second season is just as ridiculously dumb/fun.

My complete Mad Men: Season Five Blu-ray review.

Cult, Horror, and B-Movie Exploitation Bonanza
I look forward to the prestige and blockbuster releases as much as the rest of you, but I'm also a relatively obsessive collector of cult films, exploitation rarities, imported horror, and other brands of B-movie entertainment. The biggest news in cult Blu-ray releases this year was probably Anchor Bay's release of Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale. This release came in two flavours – a single disc director's cut (which I was sent for review) and a collector's edition containing the superior theatrical cut, the director's cut, and an additional DVD of extras (most of which were available on Arrow's UK release). The transfer wasn't perfect, but it was certainly acceptable and, in any case, this marked the first official stateside home video availability of the film since its 2000 release.
My complete Battle Royale director's cut Blu-ray review.
Blue Underground released a handful of Blu-ray firsts, including Aldo Lado's brutal Last House on the Left clone/improvement Night Train Murders and two of the best and most challenging films of the Euro western movement – Damiano Damiani's A Bullet for the General and Giulio Questi's Django Kill…If You Live, Shoot!. The two spaghetti western discs featured particularly strong 1080p transfers, free of the usual bits of digital noise that have hurt some of the studio's earlier releases, but, sadly, Django Kill was released way back in July and the studio's recent news items list DVD-only re-release through next April. Other exciting cult releases include Synapse Film's Twins of Evil, one of the more underappreciated Hammer Horror films, and Drafthouse Films' Miami Connection, easily the best random catalogue find of the year.
In Closing
It's been a good year and there's a lot to look forward to next year. There isn't an excess of news on upcoming releases past the first quarter of the year, but, given what we know, I'm especially anticipating:

I've always found these articles interesting. Usually as there's quite a few releases that I realise I've overlooked, forgotten about or perhaps need to revisit. In this case I'd really like to upgrade my Universal Hitchcock collection from DVD to blu-ray, and have a look at some of those TV collections as well.

Today's Song: JoJo 'Demonstrate'
A short history of JoJo: She released her self-titled debut in 2004 when she was 13 and scored a Top 20 hit with the Kidz Bop-perfect anthem "Leave (Get Out)." In 2006, she released her follow-up, The High Road, which contained the Top 5 hit "Too Little Too Late." Along the way, she has suffered record-company bullshit and picked up a legion of stans. Last year, she released "a riff on Drake's "Marvin's Room," in which she said "fuck." Maturation had set in.
JoJo's "Marvin's" grabbed the attention of Drake's not-so-secret weapon, the atmosphere-obsessed producer Noah "40" Shebib. JoJo's new single, the first off her forthcoming Jumping Trains album, is the result of her collaboration with 40. I have mostly ignored this girl, figuring she couldn't possibly have ditched the cheese of her teeny-bopping youth. I can ignore her no longer. "Demonstrate" is a monster, thanks as much to 40's production (the backwards effect in the hook! the way it yields to an even hookier hook, tension-and-release style!) as JoJo's confidently understated vocal. Don't be surprised when this one blows up. Being grown sounds great on this girl.

"Our whole program is overjoyed with having Kyrie here for one year and that he has the chance now to pursue a dream of being a high draft pick and a great player in the NBA," said Krzyzewski. "We are totally supportive of Kyrie, his family and his decision. We look forward to continuing to work with him during the upcoming months leading to his entry into the NBA and afterwards while he is an NBA player. He is a great young man, a terrific student, and a truly amazing representative for our program and for Duke. We love him and are very happy for him and his family."
Irving, a 6-2 guard from West Orange, N.J., played in just 11 games this season, sitting out 26 contests with a toe injury on his right foot. He averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game while shooting .529 (55-of-104) from the field, .462 (18-of-39) from behind the three-point line and .901 (64-of-71) from the free throw line. Irving started the first eight games of the year, averaging 17.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game during that time frame. He returned to action in the NCAA Tournament and averaged 17.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in Duke's three outings.
"I want to thank the entire staff at Duke, especially the coaches," said Irving. "It was a great experience playing for Coach K. He taught me a lot about the game. Even when I was hurt, I learned a lot. Also a special thanks goes to the medical staff for getting me back on the court for the NCAA Tournament and my teammates for sticking with me throughout the entire year. Duke offered me an experience I could never have imagined."
He scored a game-high 31 points to go with six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals against No. 6 Michigan State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. It was just the fourth time in school history a freshman scored 30 or more in a game. He was selected the CBE Classic MVP after averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals in the four games. He had 17 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals in the finals against No. 4 Kansas State. Irving also dished out nine assists against both Princeton and Colgate. In the NCAA Tournament, he scored team highs of 14 points against Hampton and 28 points against Arizona in the Sweet 16.
"This was a special year for me. I love everything about Duke and I'm going to miss it," added Irving. "Duke has a special place in my heart. Even though I'm leaving this year, Duke will always be in my mind and my heart. I'm going to miss putting on that No. 1 jersey."

I Gave into The Buddha Machine
So I finally did it. I bought a Buddha Machine.
If you haven't heard yet the Buddha Machine is a hardware loop machine.
Basically FM3, an electronic group from China, programmed 9 of thier loops into a little handheld radio looking device (colors shipped randomly--awesome). You can select one of the 9 loops and play it through the attached lo-fi speaker or through the headphone jack. The droning loop will play continously until you turn the device off.
When I first heard of this thing and I figured it was just another hipster fad. After I read glowing reviews of the device time after time I went on ahead and threw down the $23 bucks this thing costed.
Apparently "Alan Bishop bought twenty-four of these on sight and Brian Eno bought eight". Add Klax to the list. It sounded like an interesting venture into mass produced experimental music. Plus there is nothing like having a take anywhere droning loop machine.
Full review to come when it arrives on Friday. Can't wait to see what color I get.
A new KWUR backup (droning) auto-rotation possible...


text: I searched but didn't come up with an definite answer, but are online schools such as UofP looked down upon by law school admission boards? Also I have about 48 credit hours to complete to receive my BA. UofP has nice curriculum, but the cost is $515 per credit hour. Someone mentioned that it's the convenience that your paying for, but for the extra $150 per credit I don't mind walking into ASU to complete the registration process.....lol, but then again all the classes needed aren't necessarily offered online.Any input is greatly appreciated

What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you've always dreamed of. Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, until the final position of your teeth is achieved. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your doctor, based on your specific needs.
Invisalign Benefits
Invisalign aligners are practically clear. No one may even notice that you're wearing these virtually invisible "braces," making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.
Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing the aligners. And you can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
Unlike braces, there are no metal brackets or wires with the Invisalign system that could cause irritation to your mouth. Plus since your office visits during treatment don't involve metal or wire adjustments, you'll likely spend less time in the doctor's chair.
And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
Invisalign Cases
More than 1,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily.
Invisalign Treatment
It's simple, just make an appointment with name for an initial free consultation. Call clinic at tel
Invisalign Dentist
Not all dentist offer Invisalign, we have been offering Invisalign at clinic for many years now. All dentists interested in treating patients with Invisalign must attend and complete specialized instructional sessions to become trained Invisalign providers. In addition, dentist must maintain regular treatment submission and have complete ongoing clinical training classes to earn the designation "Preferred Provider."
How Does Invisalign Work?
Like brackets and arch wires are to braces, Invisalign aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on your teeth. The main difference is that Invisalign not only controls forces, but also the timing of the force application. During each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move. These movements are determined by your doctor as he or she maps out your unique Invisalign treatment plan.
What is Invisalign Made Of?
The virtually invisible aligners, which are made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the Invisalign treatment plan, look similar to tooth-whitening trays. Invisalign aligners are custom-made for you and only you to move your teeth in the sequence determined by your doctor.
Does Invisalign contain Bisphenol-A (BPA)?
No. Invisalign aligners and Vivera Retainers do not contain Bisphenol-A or phthalate plasticizers. These aligners and retainers are made with USP Class VI medical grade, high molecular weight, polyurethane resins. Tests have been conducted to determine the biocompatibility of these materials, and show that they are biocompatible and pass all applicable regulatory requirements and thresholds for human wear in the mouth. Of course, as with any medical device, you should consult with your health professional about your aligner or retainer treatment and any applicable risks of use.
Invisalign After Braces
A number of Invisalign patients have undergone a previous treatment involving braces at some point in their past, often during their youth. Invisalign can usually correct the shifting that occurs after braces, and do so without having to go through the trauma and social awkwardness of wearing metal braces.
Switching to Invisalign
Doctors are treating a significant number of patients with a combination of braces and Invisalign. Consult your Invisalign doctor to determine the best treatment for you.
Wearing Invisalign Aligners
Similar to other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign aligners may temporarily affect the speech of some people, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp caused by the aligners should disappear.
Eating with Invisalign
No. Thanks to the removable nature of the aligners, you can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment. In fact, you're required to remove your aligners to eat and drink. So, unlike undergoing traditional treatment using wires and brackets, there is no need to restrict your consumption of any of your favorite foods and snacks unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Also, it is important that you brush your teeth after each meal and prior to re-inserting your aligners to maintain fresh breath and proper hygiene.
Smoking and Invisalign
We discourage smoking while wearing aligners because it is possible for the aligners to become discolored.
Chewing Gum with Invisalign
No, gum will stick to the aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks.
Invisalign Comfort
While Invisalign moves your teeth without the pain and anxiety of metal braces, some people will experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It's also a sign that Invisalign is working, as it moves your teeth to their final destination. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.
Cleaning Invisalign Aligners
The best way to clean your aligners is to use the Invisalign cleaning kit, available at clinic. As a secondary method, however, your aligners can also be cleaned by brushing them and rinsing them in lukewarm water.
How often must I wear my aligners?
We find aligners are most effective if worn 20 to 22 hours per day – and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign Check-ups
Your doctor will schedule regular appointments – usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits are to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
How old is the company?
Align Technology, Inc., the company that manufactures Invisalign, was founded in 1997.
Has the FDA cleared Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are classified as Class II medical devices by the FDA, and Align Technology, Inc.has held the necessary 510K clearance from the FDA since 1998 to be able to sell and market the Invisalign system.
Invisalign Age Requirements
Invisalign Teen is appropriate for patients who have shed all of their baby teeth and have second molars at least partially erupted – this includes most teens. Ask your orthodontist if you qualify to start treatment now.
Invisalign Treamtent Time
The length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined by your doctor; however the average case takes about 12 months.*
Maintaining Invisalign Results
This varies person to person and depends on the outcome of the treatment. Some patients might need a positioner, or conventional retainer. Other patients might need a clear plastic retainer similar to the ones Invisalign makes, such as Align Technology's Vivera Retainer. Discuss this with name. Every patient is different, and outcomes vary.
How much does Invisalign cost?
We know cost is a big question for anyone considering orthodontic work. Similar to other medical treatments, only your doctor can determine the cost based on your specific needs. Other factors could include what you want corrected or the difficulty of your case, how long you are in treatment, where you live, your orthodontic insurance coverage, and additional factors determined by name ( Dentist) or orthodontist. In most cases, Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. In the U.S., the cost of Invisalign treatment ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, with the national average at about $5,000.
Invisalign Insurance Coverage
Because medical benefits differ significantly from policy to policy, you should review your personal coverage plan. However, in general, if a patient has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces.
Invisalign Dental Financing and Payment Plans
Most doctors will help you find options to make your treatment affordable. Many offices offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans, many with no down payment and no interest.

$1M Can Go A Long Way, If Used Right
When presented with the hypothetical idea of receiving $1 million dollars to invest in their company, seven of CRN's Next-Gen VARs were excited and immediately knew what areas to implement those extra dollars. Although a trend began to form in choosing to invest in people and infrastructure, these VARs had very different takes on how to put the money to good use. $1 million could dwindle quickly, so the consensus was that it's all about making it count and using it wisely. Take a look at what they had to say.

The Following for Entertainment Weekly.
Last week Entertainment Weekly asked me to head out to the Brooklyn Navy Yards to where they film the new hit FOX TV show The Following to shoot some portraits of Kevin Bacon and Shawn Ashmore. It was a very cold and windy day and the guys had just wrapped a pretty intense interrogation scene involving some eye gouging, pipe hitting and suspect stomping, which is harder work than it sounds, but they were both good sports throughout our very cold shoot. Here are some shots that didn't make it into the story that ran in todays issue as well as some behind the scenes pics from while they were filming. Thank you to Ahmed Fakhr at EW and Joanna Wolff at FOX for making it all happen. I am now officially only 1 degree away from Kevin Bacon.

Once in a while, my daughter Anne Elizabeth delights me and sends an essay. I would like to share this one with you.
I call it "Bluffton Remembered."
The 1970s were a wonderful time to live in Bluffton. Especially if you were young.
My grandparents had a small guest cottage named Magee after the overcrowded closet on the radio show "Fibber Magee's and Molly," and that was where I stayed.
I worked on Hilton Head at Carswell of Carolina Insurance Company.
Even with possible delays of the drawbridge over the river at Buckingham, the drive from Myrtle Island to my job near Sea Pines Circle took less than 30 minutes.
Since many of us worked on Hilton Head, we thought nothing of going back and forth to "play." On the island, the ladies had softball games that had a strong following. Some of the more athletic guys played rugby in the days when Yvonne Goolagong used to watch from the sidelines.
Two young men - Jacob Preston, Bluffton's tallest potter, who produced beautiful hand-thrown pottery, and roommate Sandy Banks, creator of stained glass masterpieces - had an open-door policy that welcomed all to visit, watch as they worked and simply hang out.
Their studio was where any subject could be - and was - introduced and discussed at great length.
There were annual parties that no longer exist, as relationships changed, and so did Bluffton.
Even though every time I come back to visit - and I get lost with all the new subdivisions, roads and stores - the memories of those parties define what Bluffton means to me in my heart.
It was the time of the true "Bluffton eccentric."
The first party to which I actually received a written and mailed invitation was to a horseshoe tournament given by Shere Horn and Joel Bailey in the field behind the Deertongue Building. The invite was explicit in that only guests with invitations would be welcome and that everyone should bring a covered dish. I was really flattered to get an invitation, went out and bought a couple of bags of potato chips and went to the party.
They had two horseshoe pits set up. Teams were chosen and the games were serious.
I hadn't ever played horseshoes before and haven't since, but everyone had fun. There was no hard liquor, but a lot of beer was consumed
There were a few potential party crashers, but they were turned away.
If I thought the horseshoe tournament was unique, I hadn't seen anything yet.
An invitation came for a goat wedding, which was to be held at Foote Point Plantation.
If you have ever been around goats, you know they aren't the most pleasant creatures in the world, and the engaged couple were the goatiest of goats.
Dressed for the occasion, the bridal goat had a crown of flowers on her head and her groom goat wore a bow tie around his neck. With a bit of persuasion, the couple were led up the "aisle" for wedding ceremony.
Only in Bluffton.
Deedee Graham, Blount Shepherd and Mike MacDonald held an annual Fourth of July party. Called B.D.MAX 4th of July Celebration, the party was first held on the bluff where the trio rented a house together, and then later at Deedee's house on Myrtle Island after he married my sister Melanie.
To pay for the party, every guest purchased a T-shirt whose design was kept a mystery until the very last minute.
No shirt: No food, no soft drinks, and no beer.
One year, tired of beer kegs getting warm in the July heat, the enterprising hosts hired a beer truck.
The party lasted from noon to midnight or until the drinks ran out.
It was the most casual of casual. They jumped off the dock into the river, went skiing and simply relaxed.
The common denominator of Bluffton parties in the 1970s was that they involved the entire family. Moms, dads and all the children were welcome and expected to be there.
There was always someone with a guitar and groups sitting in a circle singing Jimmy Buffet songs.
Groups included everyone from tow truck drivers to college professors, and they all got along.
I miss that Bluffton when I come back to visit. The parties after the rugby games, the non-traffic, the occasional drive and getting the car stuck in the sand on the beach, the urge to speed on the straight road from Palmetto Dunes to Sea Pines Circle.
It's my fault. I left town. I lost touch and Bluffton grew and grew and grew.
To those of you who remember when Bluffton was a little town with a tree growing out of Ollie Lowden's truck parked forever on the corner of Bridge and Calhoun streets, there is a truth.
There will always be parties and there will always be Bluffton eccentrics as guests.
They just aren't shopping at Scott's anymore.

While Adobe previously said it would support Google's WebM video format within their Flash Player software, it doesn't look like this support will be arriving soon. Adobe's MAX 2011 conference took place last week in Los Angeles. During a Q&A session, WebM support in Flash was talked about. After Adobe was questioned about the WebM support, the response was, "Yes, on the priority list it's not very high because we don't have a lot of customers or real customers who want to do production with WebM. The problem on the production side is that encoding WebM is simply too slow, it's not real time. And it's not JDI too (just do it). Yes, it's a lot of work for us."

As she stood in line waiting to buy a Powerball ticket at the Turkey Hill in Tannersville Tuesday, Trish Davis was asked what she would buy first if her numbers came up.
As she stood in line waiting to buy a Powerball ticket at the Turkey Hill in Tannersville Tuesday, Trish Davis was asked what she would buy first if her numbers came up.
A mansion? A Lamborghini? A yacht?
Nope, said the Tobyhanna resident. First she would pay off her son's college tuition — about $60,000 a year. "It would just be a nice thing to do," she said.
Though the jackpot for tonight's Powerball drawing is utterly extravagant — it's now up to $500 million — ticket-buyers Tuesday were thinking small if they hit it big.
"I would just put the money away for my boys. And then I'd give my brother some money. I think that would be nice," said Maria Eggert, a cashier at the Sunoco station in Scotrun.
There are two Powerball drawings each week in the U.S. but there hasn't been a winner since Oct. 6. Thus the jackpot has just been growing and growing.
Powerball player Kevin Yang said he wouldn't splurge on a private jet or something similar. "I would just buy a really nice house in the Poconos. And in New York, too. But just a really nice home," said Yang, who works as a chef at Fume Asian Grill and Sushi in Stroudsburg.
Others had more ambitious plans.
"I'd travel the world," said David Vasquez, 37, who is studying sports medicine at Northampton Community College.
And some said that they'd fully embrace the experience of winning the largest jackpot in Powerball history.
"I want my yacht now," said Jeremy Marantino, a clerk at the Exxon in Bartonsville.
The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 175 million. For some comparison, the odds of being struck by lightning in any given year are 1 in 775,000.

Take heart, ye of the faint of bank account heart — bridesmaid dress rentals could provide a welcome alternative. [More]

Devil Times Five (US - DVD)
Gabe does the math, but isn't sure of the value of the Devil. Does he equal one?
A group of bickering worker bees and their significant others, along with an emotionally stilted man-child find all kinds of angst during a weekend retreat at the boss's winter vacation spot. Things turn from slightly annoying to terrifying when a group of psychotic children stumble upon the cabin, and begin picking off the arrogant adults one by one.
It's intriguing that any filmmakers have found success in the concept of killer children, but it's shocking that I can think of four genuinely good films in the subgenre. Village of the Damned and Children of the Damned are the sort of cool headed, genre originators – genuine classics that worked their way into the lexicon and garnered a John Carpenter remake. Who Can Kill a Child is a European take , culling nature amuck and thriller ideas from Hitchcock's The Birds. Devil Times Five is the deep-fried, true blue grindhouse take on the formula, brimming with seedy atmosphere, taboo smashing sequences of graphic violence, and even a dash of nudity.
If I'm comparing Who Can Kill a Child to The Birds or Night of the Living Dead, then I'll compare Devil Times Five to Last House on the Left or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's not as deeply disturbing as Craven's film, or as expertly and artistically crafted as Hopper's film, but there are comparable elements. The tone is eerily realistic in that post- Night of the Living Dead fashion that defined the era, and the horror elements unravel in a craftily slow manner. Like Last House the humour ends up hindering the deadly tone a bit (though these jokes are often genuinely amusing), but the events have a twisted buyability, which is pretty important considering the general unbuyability of the set up. The use of crash zooms, super slow motion, and still frames adds a layer of style to the surprising substance.
Devil Times Five is an unmistakably amateur production, and the behind the scenes problems are pretty apparent even without the cast and crew commentary their to point them out. Apparently the film was directed by two people, neither of whom are credited in the opening titles, and the second pass footage was written and shot quite a while after the first round of production was shut down. The two halves do not gel, and we're left with one movie about a bunch of rather childish adults having sex, arguing, cat fighting and drinking alcohol, and another movie about psychotic killer children slowly turning the screws on some childish adults. However, like most good grindhouse experiments, it is the mistakes that make Devil Times Five so memorable.
The film is also memorable for its performances, which are almost unreasonably good. Despite the narrative and editing issues, the characters are strangely realistic, and the actors, including the kids, are really natural. The cast is made up of a mix of professionals and amateurs, but everyone winds up complementing each other quite well, ensuring that the pros aren't too melodramatic, and the dabblers aren't too stiff.
This might be Code Red's crowning achievement, at least so far. There's a whole lot of grain and noise, but given the film's age and stature this is a top-notch transfer. The best element is the rich colours, which are pretty sharply separated. Warm colours pop without too much noise, with the exception of reds, which dance with compression, though maintain a solid hue. Edge enhancement is quite minimal, and general contrast is well balanced. Blacks are inconsistent, but favorable overall. The cigarette burns are pretty big and obvious, and other chunks of print damage artefact are plenty obvious, but all in all this is a clean and good looking disc.
I can't say what the film's original framing is (imbd.com claims 1.85:1), but I did notice that the entire film appears to have been slightly cropped on the bottom of the frame. This may be generally armature filmmaking rearing its head, but I have a feeling that this isn't on purpose.
The original mono track is what it is, clean enough to fully understand and appreciate, but not without its problems. The effects, music, and dialogue is well balanced, and has a decent amount of depth without sounding overproduced. The general volume level is a bit low, and louder elements like screams and gunshots distort a bit. Pops and cracks are minimal, though to match the prominent cigarette burns change overs don't go too smoothly. The score is an effective mix of standard thriller cues, eerie music box-like elements, and military inspired motifs, and it's really only lacking a bit in bass definition.
The story of this peculiar little film is told through a group commentary track and a selection of video interviews. The commentary includes actresses Joan MaCall and Dawn Lyn (Leif Garrett's sister), producer Michael Blowitz, and co-director David Sheldon, moderated by Darren Gross. The interviews add actor Tierre Turner, who seems to think he was the leader of the killer kids. The commentary is a little loopy with its focus, but Gross keeps things tight enough. The video interviews are a little more candid because folks are alone and free to say a little extra about the behind the scenes troubles. The interviews are pretty low in film quality, but the questions are well thought out with repeating too much of the commentary.
The extras also include an alternate title sequence, which is really just a title card (it should be noted that the final DVD uses the title The Horrible House on the Hill), a pretty cool poster gallery, and a collection of Code Red trailers.
Devil Times Five isn't quite the quality shock of Who Can Kill a Child, but it holds a few chilling moments, some surprising performances, and a sort of charm in its patchwork nature. This DVD looks and sounds good for what it is, and the sort of homemade looking extras are worth a glance.

text: I had considered that something like what you suggest might be possible. The program flow should never go beyond the Restart button, so it should be simple enough to put a copy of the protoNode somewhere in the icon sequence after the Restart button. Whilst I know how to remove nodes and duplicate an existing node - that is to the extent you can see in my quiz example, I have no idea how you would programmatically go about taking a copy of a node from one location and duplicating it to another location.

The Irish government has been called on to welcome refugees fleeing the deadly conflict in Syria. In the Irish parliament the Green Party has accused the international community of standing idly by as the humanitarian crisis in Syria explodes.
According to the Irish Independent the United Nations has calculated that the number of Syrian children forced to flee their devastated homeland has reached a million. It's believed that almost two million people have been driven out of the country to date.
Green Party environment spokesman Malcolm Noonan told parliament that Ireland could lead the way by taking displaced people from one of the surrounding camps in neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.
'One in four people living in Lebanon is now a refugee, many are so desperate that they are fleeing into Iraq,' Noonan said.
'It is our view that if the Irish Government were to take the initiative by offering to accept a number of refugees on a program basis agreed with UNHCR, it would compel other EU states to follow suit and ease the humanitarian crisis in countries bordering Syria.'
The UN has reportedly demanded that Syria give chemical weapons experts access to rebel-held Damascus suburbs to determine if a chemical attack orchestrated by Bashar Assad's regime killed hundreds of people, including children.
A team of UN weapons inspectors is currently in Syria but it only has permission to visit specific locations. The Assad regime has dismissed as baseless claims that it was behind the latest incident.
In support of his suggestion Noonan said there have been successful settlement programs in Ireland, in particular the Sudanese resettlement programof 2007. 'Ireland has an incredible track record in humanitarian causes,' he said.
'The Green Party believes that to accept people fleeing this conflict during such a challenging time in our own country's history would send a message to the international community that we must act now to help alleviate suffering and that this is a tangible way in which we can begin to act.
'The crisis in Syria will not end any time soon and with over two million people displaced both internally and in surrounding countries, it is essential that the international community responds in a compassionate way. Ireland should show leadership in initiating a refugee settlement programme.'
The number of child refugees fleeing Syria has now topped the 1 million mark. UN agencies say three-quarters of those are under the age of 11.
UNICEF and the UNHCR have described the crisis as the largest humanitarian operation in history.
Peter Power, the Executive Director of UNICEF Ireland told the Independent: 'The reports from Syria of attacks on children in recent days are extremely disturbing and a tragic reminder that this crisis has gone on for too long and that children are suffering unimaginable horrors. This must stop.'
'One million children, the majority under 11 years of age, have now fled their homes. The children we meet at the borders urgently need water, food, shelter and medical care. Syrian children need help to regain a sense of normalcy and hope for the future before their childhood is lost forever. One way that UNICEF hopes to achieve this is by ensuring that every Syrian child can return to school in the coming weeks.' he added.

A bra made just for cyclists.
Just as cycling equipment benefits from the feedback of the sponsored male racers, the gear used by the growing number of female cyclists reflects the hard-earned knowledge and feedback that pro women can give. The input of ladies sponsored by Castelli has led to this uniquely cycling-specific sports bra, the Castelli Rosso Corsa Light Bra.
Cycling in particular demands slightly different things from a bra than running does. Chest-crushing compression is less of an issue, so the Rosso Corsa Light Bra focuses more on breathability and ventilation. Sport bras can become quite soggy when you're really exerting yourself, and then you're stuck with what feels like a sweaty straightjacket wrapped around you for the duration of the ride. This is a problem (particularly in winter weather) when you're riding over multiple long climbs where you're sweating on the way up and freezing on the way down. This bra has been designed with an ingenious mix of tech fabrics, which are all intended to provide the optimum amount of wicking to keep you comfortable and dry. The sides and back have maximum ventilation with the Tulle Mesh inserts in place to help ventilate.
That is not to say that Castelli has compromised on fit and support. The Rosso Corsa offers gentle support and a comfortable fit. In particular, the cross straps are Giro 3, the same soft, stretchy material and seamless design used in Castelli's top-of-the-line bibs. As a result, you get less stress and fatigue on your shoulders and trapezius muscles on a long, demanding ride.
The Castelli Rosso Corsa Light Bra is available in either Black or White. The bra works best for A/B cups, and comes in five sizes according to the measurement around the rib cage under the bust: X-Small 26-28in, Small 29-30in, Medium 30-32in, Large 32-34in and X-Large 34-36in.
- Smooth, seamless Giro2 cross-straps deliver consistent support without digging or binding
- Side tulle mesh inserts enhance breathability
- Ideal for A/B cups
- Seamless Giro2 cross straps
- Tulle mesh side inserts
- Moderate support
- Ideal for A/B cups

Best Sports Bra for Cycling Ever!
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Product is true to size and feels great. Well, actually, you don't really feel it at all which is kind of the point. I'm ready to buy more and stock up. Thank you, Castelli!
Recommend it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
This is a great cycling bra - it provides some support but feels like you don't have one on. Okay, maybe that last part is an overstatement, but it is really lightweight, not binding, breathable, and has very few seams. The white color is not completely opaque, but it has a double layer of fabric across the front which provides reasonable coverage.
Excellent cycling bra
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: small
This bra is excellent for cycling on hot days. The mesh panels allow air to flow, and it is extremely comfortable, due to the wide shoulder straps made of a thin, silky material. The only part of the bra I actually feel when riding is the front band. The fit is consistent with other Castelli products I own in a small. I wear a bra size 34A, ordered both a small and medium of the Castelli bra and found the right fit in the small.
Tight Rib Cage Band & Thin Frontal Cover
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Small
My comments are based on being a 32B, middle-aged, reasonably slim body. I ordered small size and found the ribcage band noticeably snug bordering on too snug and somewhat discomforting on the back. For someone who is modest, the material where cups would be is very thin and any physical reactions to cool summer mornings will be noticeable to all. The wide shoulder straps are super comfortable. I would have exchanged for a medium, but was turned off by the lack of modesty coverage on the front. It does feel like a compression bra which I found not too strong, but that is a personal, subjective opinion.
Runs small; returned
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: medium
Wife really wanted to like this bra...straps...fabric...weight...all was perfect. She is a 34B & ordered a Medium, straps, bottom band all fit perfect. The problem was that the "cups" were so confining she felt she was in a corset from the 1700's that for the first time in her adult life produced cleavage.
Most comfortable bra I ride with
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: small
Amazingly comfortable. Wore for a 180 mile 2 day ride. I range (depending on brand) from a 32-34D. I got a small based on the band size. Was a little tight but I assume it will stretch over time. Not uncomfortable tight - just left a band mark. The ladies stay tucked in okay and it works more like a compression bra in the front that I like for cycling. I am ordering 2 more and one is going to be a medium just to see the difference with the cup size.
Best cycling bra ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
The wide, thin, soft bands are the best. No more jogging bras! This thing is so comfortable that I'll use it as a regular bra in summer.
Comfortable Bra
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I am usually 36B so I bought a Medium and it fits perfect, it is very comfortable so you can forget that you are wearing it even after riding more than 5 hours.
The downside is that It does not have pads.
Really Comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My chest measures 33" and I ordered a size small. It's a bit hard to get on but very comfortable once in place. I'm probably between a small and medium so if I get another one, I may try to size up one.
I would not, the Medium is too big for me wish I had a small :)
Thanks for the "heads up" HippieFairy. I'll stick with the small.
Are there any cyclists out there wearing...
Are there any cyclists out there wearing this w/ a C cup? If so, were you adequately supported and covered?
I'm a 32D and I bought both a Small and Medium. I ended up returning the M as it felt too loose in the band, and did not offer enough support while riding, especially when going over bumpy road. The Small fits perfect for me.
Seems comfy, but doesn't small A-cup
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I ordered a small. It looks like it would be a really nice product, but I am a smaller A-cup and it is a little loose in the cups area. If you're a larger A-cup or above, you'll be fine.
I wear mine every ride
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm ordering a second one of these. It is so comfy. The flat straps over the shoulders practically disappear, and the chest band is not tight. (I leave that to the heart monitor band!) There is not a lot of support, but enough to keep things in place when going in for that cup of coffee. When riding, how much support do you really need, anyway?
As to size, I'm between a small and a medium, I think. I went with the medium because I wanted to maximize comfort. Maybe if I had gotten a small, it would feel tighter and more supportive. But, I'm sticking with Medium in the order I'm placing now.
Love it!
According to the sizing chart on the site, I should be S or M. I ordered one of each size and both were small.
So I'll ask now an L, because it seems an excellent product and I want to try.
I think the sizing chart needs to be revised.
Did the 'L' ever work out?
I wanted to get one of these as well, but according to the chart, I would need a XL, they might not work for me if they're running that small...
Awesome Bra! :)
I put this bra on and felt like I wasn't even wearing a bra...it is seriously that comfortable. Riding with this bra on was completely wonderful. I felt no weight in my chest and no tension in my shoulders from the straps. I didn't even really feel the straps at all. We're given so many reasons why we have certain pains but I've never had anyone suggest wearing the wrong bra while cycling was causing me to have some pain around my neck and shoulders. After wearing this just once I can tell that my bra was the reason to the problems and this bra was perfect the solution. I'm a 32 B and the small fits perfectly for me. I just wish I had lots more money so I could buy more.
Thanks for the specific detail on your size and the fit for you. Your review sold me so I can feel confident in my purchase now!
Very comfortable straps and fabric. I am ordering another one. Seems true to size. I bought the small and it's a little tight getting on but really comfortable once on.

Ten Years
One decade ago today, I sat down and started writing blog posts here.
This is the room I wrote in:
That room no longer exists, and not just because it doesn't have all my books and papers everywhere. The house was renovated (for the first time in decades) after I left, with the area that had been my apartment pretty well gutted.
The computer I began the blog with was an iMac G3. A year later, I got the laptop that's visible in those photos.
I've been working up to this anniversary moment by writing posts about each of the years in the decade. Here they are for easy reference, along with the primary topics of the posts:
- 2012 [beginning to look back]
- 2011 [some thoughts on canonical nationalism]
- 2010 [the turn to film writing]
- 2009 [month by month]
- 2008 [thoughts on teaching & syllabi]
- 2007 [the bad year]
- 2006 [a Mumpsimus taxonomy]
- 2005 [some old posts worth saving]
- 2004 [Annus Mirabilis, or, Why I Owe A Lot to Neil Gaiman]
- 2003 [the beginning]

Class of 2017 Lilly Scholars Announced• May 20, 2013 Share:
Two Indiana High School seniors join a young man from South Africa as the Class of 2017 winners of the Wabash College Lilly Scholarship.
Thirty students visited campus in early April and competed for the full ride scholarship opportunity. Cole Crouch, Indianapolis, Kyle Stucker, Whiteland, and Jacob Budler, Parklands, South Africa were named the scholarship winners.
Crouch was Senior Class President at Ben Davis High School and was an All-American Swimmer who earned MVP honors. Crouch was an Indianapolis Mayor's Youth Council Member. He also plays the piano, earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and runs his own lawn care business.

Is a formal specification complete ?
By `formal' we mean a machine-readable description of what is correct or incorrect behaviour. A complete specification might describe all allowable behaviours and prohibit all remaining behaviours, but most formal definitions today are not complete in this sense. For instance, a definition that consists of a list of safety assertions and a few liveness assertions might still allow all sorts of behaviours that the designer knows are wrong. He can go on adding more assertions, but when does he stop ?
One might define a 'complete specification' as one that describes all observable behaviours. Such a specification does not restrict or prescribe the internal implementation in black box terms since this is not observable.
When evaluating an assertion-based test program for an IP block, we can compute assertion coverage in many ways: e.g. What percentage of rule disjuncts held as dominators (on their own) ?
Or, e.g. What percentage of reachable state space was spanned?

Toyota Motor kept its lead over rivals General Motors and Volkswagen AG this year, January-September global sales figures showed, as the Japanese carmaker closes in on a record annual profit.
Toyota's groupwide sales totaled around 7.412 million vehicles, up 0.1 percent from the same period a year ago, the company said on Monday, as strong sales in the United States offset slowdowns in Thailand and China.
Toyota's groupwide total includes sales at affiliates Daihatsu Motor and Hino Motors.
General Motors sold 7.25 million vehicles during the same January to September period, up 4.6 percent year-on-year, while Volkswagen rose 4.8 percent to 7.03 million vehicles, according to figures released earlier this month.

Leonardo defends PSG logo change
January 09, 2013
Paris Saint-Germain director Leonardo has defended the club's decision to have a new official logo.
The French side have had the same badge since 1972, but are set to unveil a new design which reportedly sees the traditional primary deep blue of PSG changed to a lighter blue akin to Olympique Marseille.
However, the Brazilian has backed the decision to make the changes and says it has nothing to do with a perceived move away from the club's heritage.
"The respect [for the history] is there," the World Cup winner told L'Equipe.
"We have not decided to change the club logo because we don't comply with history. PSG has already changed five times, [some] big clubs [have] changed 10 times.
"I think the misconception comes from the money and the power that we have. I am here for the history of this club."
Early designs of the logo also see the word 'Paris' moved to the top of the circle with 'Saint-Germain' sitting beneath it.
They also appear without the cradle that previously sat beneath the Eiffel Tower, signifying the birth of King Louis XIV in Saint-Germain.
It has been reported that the logo could be unveiled this month.

4 activists detained in Cameroon after opposing the development of an oil palm plantation
DOUALA, Cameroon – Greenpeace International says security officers detained four environmental activists opposed to the establishment of an oil palm plantation in Cameroon by a U.S.-based company.
The group said late Friday that Nasako Besingi and three of his co-workers with the environmental group the Struggle to Economize Future Environment were taken from their office in the southwest town of Mundemba on Wednesday. It said they have been held since without charge.
Greenpeace International says the arrests are in violation of Cameroonian law and are linked to their opposition to the oil palm plantation planned by the U.S.-based Herakles Farms.
Herakles Farms, represented by a local affiliate Sithe Global Sustainable Oils Cameroon PLC, began operations in 2010 after signing a contract in 2009 that granted the New York-based firm a 99-year lease on rainforest property.
Palm oil is widely used across Africa.
