First-place Hawks are winning without Joe Johnson
The widely held assumption was the Hawks would take a step back this season after first-year general manager Danny Ferry cleared salary space for the future by trading Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams.
Look again.
With one quarter of the season gone, the Hawks rank as one of the NBA's biggest surprises.
Atlanta has won 11 of 13 games to move into a first-place tie with defending NBA champion Miami in the Southeast Division.
Al Horford said he isn't about to rebuke those who predicted the team would wilt without Johnson, a six-time All-Star. The Hawks' center said even Atlanta players had concerns a streak of five straight playoff seasons would be in jeopardy.
"That was one of the questions that even people in here, we were questioning ourselves," Horford said, looking around the Hawks' locker room. "What was it going to be like? We didn't know what was going to happen."
Coach Larry Drew's undersized Hawks are winning with defense and improved passing.
Undersized? Devin Harris, acquired for Marvin Williams, and free-agent signee Lou Williams joined point guard Jeff Teague in the backcourt.
Instead of having the 6-foot-7 Johnson at shooting guard and 6-foot-9 Marvin Williams at small forward, the Hawks often have two or even three players on the perimeter who are 6-foot-2 or shorter.
Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap noted the three guards give Drew's Hawks unusually strong direction and ball movement.
"He's loaded with quarterbacks," Dunlap said. "And now he can play them at the wings. So that ball's going to move because they know how to move it and they know how to play the pick and roll.
"Their personnel department made a decision to go in and get some really good quarterbacks and that's rare in this league. You need two to back each other up at (point guard). But he's using them in a diverse way, so that's what makes it hard to play Atlanta."
Ferry said he's not surprised to see three small point guards working together so well.
"I felt like it would work, that part of it, that offensively we would be able to do things off the dribble and spread the ball around because of having those three guys," Ferry said. "Defensively, collectively the group has done a good job and that obviously has given us a better chance of getting off to the kind of start we've had. Now we have to sustain it and we have to keep getting better."
Atlanta ranks fifth in the league with 22.8 assists and third with 9.3 steals per game. Defense is another strength as the Hawks rank fifth with 93.1 points allowed per game.
"We feel very excited where we're at as a team right now," Horford said. "I think we've come together faster than we all expected. I just think there's an understanding we have a lot of work ahead and we can still get better."
The Hawks beat Dunlap's Bobcats 113-90 on Thursday night as Harris scored a season-high 20 points. Lou Williams ranks third on the team with 13.8 points per game. Teague is averaging 13.3 points and a team-leading 6.3 assists.
Horford and Josh Smith are the new scoring leaders. Smith leads the team with 17.3 points. Horford is averaging a double-double with 16.3 points and 10 rebounds.
"I think we complement each other real well," Horford said. "I think Josh is an unselfish player. I'm an unselfish player as well. I think we just want to win. I really want to win in the worst way and we're making it work with the team."
Smith can be a free agent after the season. Ferry would not say if he hoped to negotiate with Smith before the end of the season.
"As I've said, we value Josh," Ferry said. "Having players in your program like Josh is a positive thing. I'm not going to talk about negotiations."
Johnson had four years and $90 million remaining on his contract when he was traded to the Nets for five players – none with long-term contracts – and a draft pick in July. Ferry then traded Marvin Williams to the Jazz for Harris, freeing another $15.7 million over two years.
Ferry also acquired 3-point specialist Kyle Korver from the Chicago Bulls for a trade exception and cash.
Atlanta waived two of the players it received for Johnson – forward Jordan Williams and Jordan Farmar- before training camp. The Hawks also obtained guards Anthony Morrow and DeShawn Stevenson and center Johan Petro, who has played only 11 minutes, in the trade.
Stevenson, 31, has started 11 games. At 6-5, he provides needed size and has been one of team's best 3-point shooters.
"Wins and losses, I'm very happy with where we are," Drew said. "I thought this first quarter of the season we came together pretty well."

Post subject: Mary Go Round - dark ride concept
Here's my project for round two in Theme Park Insider's game, Theme Park Apprentice:
Mary Go Round
Bringing a true classic to Disneys Hollywood Studios, as well as a ride/attraction for all ages, Mary Go Round will capture the magic of the movie, Mary Poppins, in the style of a Fantasyland type dark ride. Entering through the Animation Building (with the show building behind it), a path leads guests down Cherry Tree Lane and the home of Jane and Michael Banks. They mount up on Carousel Horses, side by side, that are on a suspended track (much like the Peter Pan ride) that has a second track (like X2) that gives the horses their up and down motion throughout the ride. Chariot benches will be available for those in wheelchairs and small children may ride horses with their parents.
Each room will be full of music that represents the scene and take full advantage of projection technology (all around, above, below ), while wind effects will help to enhance the feeling of flying. Fog effects will transition each room, looking like fog, smoke, or chalk dust (with actual full fog or fog screens).
Just out of the loading area, the room is dark, to allow eyes to adjust. Through windows, nannies can be seen flying through the air, down Cherry Tree Lane, above the other guests that are queueing up to ride, using a Peppers Ghost effect combined with the actual scene outside.
The first room is the Childrens Nursery. Toys frantically put themselves away. Large objects come in and out of the carpet bag. Spoonful of Sugar fills the room. At the far end of the room, a portrait transforms into a Chalk Drawing that leads to:
The Countryside murals on the walls have projected, animated trees blowing in the breeze, birds flying through the air, squirrels and rabbits running around A barnyard full of animals sings Jolly Oliday Butterflies fill the sky, revealing a group of penguins dancing and singing at a tea party. Around a bend, dogs are running all around, in a fox hunt. Jumping a hedge, the horses find themselves in the middle of a horse race, galloping with all theyve got. At the finish line, a band sings a victory song of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. A gentle rain washes the scene away, into:
The back streets of London lead to Uncle Alberts. Jokes are being told by people projected on the ceiling, as I Love To Laugh plays in the background. The horses go around and up and down. They only come down when they are told that they must leave and go to:
The cold, expansive, sterile setting of the Bank becomes suddenly chaotic, with people running everywhere, shouting about the horses being in a bank, money flying through the air and filling the floor, shining brightly (all through floor projection). Escaping the madness by crashing through the huge front doors:
The street scene outside reveals a large Cathedral with a dome projected sky full of animated birds. Circling the room while Feed The Birds plays softly, the journey continues through a seedier looking side of London dark alleys, the shipyard, barking dogs, and finally, Bert, who takes them to:
The rooftops are full of smoke and shadows of rooflines and the skyline of the city. Chim Chim Cheree is heard while flying over the smoke stacks. Shadows in the smoke become (projected) shadow dancing silhouettes, that now sing Step In Time. Soon, fireworks also fill the air. The horses turn to go through them and fly over Admiral Booms house, on the way to:
The Park across Cherry Tree Lane is filled with kites and the music of Go Fly A Kite. The kites and strings become like a maze of obstacles to get around, with Mr. Dawes Sr. (from the bank) flying high in the air, at the end of a large string. As the horses make their last turn, Mary Poppins is seen in the distance, flying away, over the cityscape of London, and a setting sun.
Any comments are welcome.

Such a great idea. I think that lots of people love Mary Poppins (even the new generation), and the suspended Peter Pan rid is definitely a big hit. I think that the suspended system gives the audience more to look at (above and below), plus the sense of flying is great. The ride also has the nostalgia of carousels. It could be neat to also look at the books. Disney's Mary Poppins stage show incorporates some of the scenes of the book in addition to the movie in order to create a slightly different emotional arc to the story... and I think that is a neat thing. Part of the goodness of Mary Poppins is that the children get to go on amazing adventures, but they always are "tucked in" safe and sound -- they have nothing to fear. Maybe the ride could have some of that emotional arc -- from sweet to chaotic to sweet again , so that the riders really feel like they have not just seen their favorite scenes one after another but experienced a bit of their own story of going on an adventure and then being safe again? I do like that you found a way for the different scenes to spatially lead from one to the next, so that it will make sense to the viewer how they are travelling from one place to the next... Great ideas here!!

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law one of the most controversial pieces of social legislation in the history of the United States, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law one of the most controversial pieces of social legislation in the history of the United States, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.
Since becoming law, ObamaCare, even though controversial, has proven to be remarkably durable. Not only did this act narrowly pass Congress, it had to overcome many legal obstacles, the largest being a challenge by 26 state governments. After two years of lawsuits, this (now) law worked its way through the federal court system and finally reached the United States Supreme Court. This past June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled by a 5 to 4 majority to uphold nearly all the legal points of contention of this law. The most important was the "individual mandate" that compelled every American to purchase health insurance or pay a fine. The Supreme Court also ruled by a 7 to 2 vote not to force individual states to expand Medicaid coverage.
Another important part of this act had stipulated each individual state must put more of its citizens into the Medicaid program or risk losing the federal matching funds. Federal funds pay 57 percent of Medicaid costs in each state. Consequently, the first part of the court's ruling gives constitutional authority to move forward with the act, while the second part weakens the law by taking away future funding designed to require states to expand their Medicaid program. However, it did leave in place the generous financial carrot held over individual states to force the expansion of Medicaid.
According to the Rasmussen Poll, ObamaCare remains as unpopular today as when it became law in 2010. This level of unpopularity has remained unchanged even after this summer's Supreme Court's decision and the results of the presidential election. Also, ObamaCare remains just as much a mystery today as when it was being created behind the closed doors of the White House and Congress. This 2,700-page law contains many portions that are very difficult to understand.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has yet to create many of the rules and regulations needed to make this act work. In fact, they are still writing many portions of the act. Like it or not, ObamaCare is the law of the land and 2013 will be the transitional year before it becomes fully implemented in January of 2014.
For Missouri legislators, there are three main areas of concern in regard to ObamaCare as we approach the beginning of the new Session in January. First of all, 2013 will see new lawsuits putting pressure on key aspects of the ObamaCare law. Two main legal suits are 1) the HHS's contraceptive mandate and 2) a legal argument challenging the authority of the IRS to implement a rule in allowing federal healthcare exchanges to distribute taxpayer subsidies.
Secondly, Missouri is one of about thirty states who have made little effort to establish a healthcare exchange. Health and Human Services has extended to Feb. 15, 2013 the opportunity to establish an exchange. Many states, though, including Missouri, are leaning toward allowing the federal government to handle the healthcare exchange burden. The main reason is the final word for all decisions within the insurance healthcare exchanges belongs to Washington, not the states. The truth is that little to no power will be shared with the states, but at this time there is little to no movement by Missouri to set up an exchange.
Finally, perhaps the most important decision that Missouri legislators will make in regard to ObamaCare will be the expansion of Medicaid. The Supreme Court gave state governors the power to say "no" to Medicaid expansion without losing existing funding. State governors and lawmakers alike see this as "free money," at least in the short term. In an effort to get more states on board to expand Medicaid, the federal government has offered to foot the entire bill for all new recipients through 2019 before gradually dropping off to 90 percent funding. With ObamaCare, Medicaid is expected to increase $76 billion in the next decade.
Unlike the healthcare exchange issues, very few states have firmly rejected Medicaid expansion. Pressure to accept the "free money" may be too difficult for even conservatives to reject, given the budgetary shortfalls of most states. Long-term ramifications of ObamaCare on federal and state governments, no doubt, will be very costly.

Setting an apartment on fire during an argument with a girlfriend resulted in a three- to 20-year prison term Friday for a 21-year-old Adrian man.
William Jarrett Dillard made no comment before his sentencing in Lenawee County Circuit Court. When he pleaded guilty to a reduced second-degree arson count on Oct. 23, Dillard told the court "it was stupid" of him to set the fire at the Maple Village apartment complex, 1221 S. Main St.
"I don't even remember what the argument was about," Dillard said in October.
The fire was set in an apartment rented by a cousin of Dillard. She called the Adrian Fire Department and the blaze was put out within 10 minutes after they arrived. No one was reported injured.
Dillard was charged with first-degree arson carrying a maximum life prison sentence because the fire was set in a multi-unit residential building.
"My client does admit to severe alcohol and substance abuse issues," public defender Anna Marie Anzalone told the court. She said he was intoxicated at the time he set the fire and recalled only "bits and pieces" of what happened.
"He was horrified at what he had done, knowing he could have died," Anzalone said.
His cousin and girlfriend left the apartment during the argument, according to Adrian police reports. Dillard later called his cousin on her cellular telephone and told her he had set fire to her living room.
Judge Timothy P. Pickard made no comment before handing down the prison sentence. State guidelines allowed up to a 38-month to 20-year prison term. He also ordered restitution of $9,098 paid to an insurance company as a condition of parole.

Stunning Native Union Skype and iPhone Handsets
Currently when we Skype we either use our computer's speakers and mic or plug in our Hulger handset. While the former is limiting in terms of clarity, the latter can be a pain due it its long and tangle prone USB cable and the unusually stiff curly cord that connects the base to the handset. We've been on the look out for an alternative that doesn't simply look like your average landline phone, and we think we might have found it with the new Moshi Moshi mm03 Bluetooth handset.
Native Union designed four exquisite handsets for either computer or iPhone use. The collection, named Moshi Moshi, includes four models. The mm01 and mm02 connect to either via 3.5mm, while the mm03 and mm04i add Bluetooth. The 04i is the luxe model of the bunch, doubling up as a Bluetooth speaker and speaker phone! Prices start at $60 for the mm01 and go up to $200 for the mmo4. They go on sale April 15th so you can call your accountant in style.
We think the mm04i would be wicked in the kitchen, where you want to rock out while chopping onions and still be able to grab a Skype call without sprinting through the house with a knife in hand.

Both "Battles of the Boulevard " between the Lipscomb University Bisons and Belmont University Bruins will be featured in the Atlantic Sun Conference Game of the Week television package with CSS.
The Bisons will host the Bruins on January 12 at Allen Arena in the lone Saturday game included in the CSS package. Belmont hosts the rematch on February 22 at the Curb Event Center.
"We have had 17 games on television in the last three years between CSS, ESPN and ESPNU," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "The games on TV are big. That is great exposure for our team and great exposure for our university more importantly."
The Atlantic Sun Conference and Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) renewed their popular CSS A-Sun Game of the Week television package, marking the sixth consecutive year of A-Sun men's basketball being featured in primetime on Friday nights. Included in the package is the return of This Week in the A-Sun, the league's 30-minute magazine show which will precede each Friday night game at 7:00pm eastern, hosted by Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith.
"The CSS Game of the Week has become a well-established showcase for A-Sun basketball," said A-Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart. "We have an excellent relationship with our colleagues at CSS and are proud to work with them as our primary TV partner. We look forward to continuing our tradition of bringing competitive and exciting college basketball games to the fans throughout the Southeast."
All 12 member schools will be featured at least once during the eight-week programming schedule, including first-time appearances by the league's newest additions: Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate. Both schools' appearance will come against Stetson. The Eagles will host the Hatters to tip off the Friday Night Game of the Week package on January 11, while the Spartans travel to DeLand, Fla, on February 8.
CSS will provide exclusive early round coverage of the 2008 General Shale Brick A-Sun Championship hosted by Lipscomb University including both semifinal contests on March 7.
"CSS is proud to continue its partnership with the Atlantic Sun Conference with our sixth season of providing college basketball fans the Friday night A-Sun Game of the Week." said CSS GM Mark Fuhrman.
CSS is a 24-hour regional sports network serving approximately 5.7 million cable subscribers across twelve southeastern states. Launched in 1999, the network is a partnership between Comcast Corporation and Charter Communications. CSS carries a full slate of college sports programming, including over 50 live football games, 110 college football replay games, more than 180 men's and women's live college basketball games, and 40 live baseball games, as well as a comprehensive mix of sports news and in-depth sports analysis geared toward fans in the Southeast. CSS is only available on cable.
The Atlantic Sun Conference, headquartered in Macon, Ga., consists of Belmont, Campbell, ETSU, Florida Gulf Coast, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, UNF, Stetson, and USC Upstate.
The CSS A-Sun Game of the Week is just a portion of the Atlantic Sun's entire television package and other games will be added to the television schedule throughout the year. The most current television schedule is always available at www.atlanticsun.org.

These are works from figure drawing classes that I've been taking in the winter of 1996. I had been doing figure drawing for a while already, but without formal training. In taking classes I had to unlearn everything and go back to the basics. For about 8 weeks, every day in class was a big confidence breaker, but it all paid off in the end, as you can see in some of these images.

CFPB HQ Renovation Budget Tops $75,000... Per EmployeePosted by on June 21, 2013
On Tuesday, Members of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee examined the budget for the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau (CFPB) with the bureau's Chief Financial Officer.
While the CFPB generally lacks oversight and accountability, one particular issue of concern raised at the hearing was the outrageously expensive planned renovation of the bureau's Washington headquarters. Initially thought to cost $55 million -- a sum greater than the annual construction and acquisition budget for all federal buildings -- the actual budget for the 1,200-employee bureau's headquarters renovation tops out at $95 million -- or $75,000 per employee.
Given the lack of Congressional control over appropriations to the CFPB as well as the lack of Administration control over the CFPB's budget, the large budget and broad regulatory discretion conferred upon the CFPB present substantial risk of waste, fraud and abuse.

The Loyola University New Orleans Community Action Program and the Office of University Ministry present "The Invisible Children: Congo Tour," a discussion and film screening with the Invisible Children organization, created to bring peace and awareness about the Ugandan war, one of the longest-running wars on the African continent, led by the Lord's Resistance Army. The event takes place Wednesday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in Nunemaker Auditorium, located in Monroe Hall. It is free and open to the public.
Invisible Children representatives will discuss the war in Eastern Africa and the effect on the people there. The evening will also include a screening of the film, "Tony," which documents the life of a Ugandan boy named Tony, a survivor of Africa's longest running war, who eventually fled to the United States. Members of Invisible Children will also discuss how the LRA has moved out of northern Uganda and into the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and Central African Republic.
Invisible Children provides schooling and mentors to Ugandan students with the greatest needs, often including orphans, child mothers and children who had previously been abducted by the insurgent army. Through education, Invisible Children hopes to combat ignorant leaders in order to create a better Uganda.

The AP reports from Pakistan:
Musharraf May Quit Army by Saturday
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - President Gen. Pervez Musharraf could quit as chief of the army and take oath as a civilian president by Saturday, a senior official said.
That would meet a key demand of the US, a demand with which the Times had some fun:
"The President will call on President Musharraf to take off the uniform as he said he would do."
– Dana Perino, White House spokeswoman, Nov. 5
''My message was that we believe strongly in elections, and that you ought to have elections soon, and you need to take off your uniform.''
– President Bush, Nov. 7
"He was willing to take off the uniform, he said, and have a civilian government."
– Former Senator Fred Thomspon, "Meet the Press," Nov. 4
"The overarching concern is making sure President Musharraf takes off his uniform and holds elections as soon as possible,"
– Geoff Morell, Pentagon spokesman, Nov. 13
"Who cares if General Musharraf takes off his uniform? It's time for him to go."
– Representative Dana Rohrabacher, Republican of California, Nov. 7
So, will Gen. Pervez Musharaff follow through? I can picture the phone call from George Bush late on a Saturday night - "So, Perv, what are you wearing?"

Most Democratic voters support Brown in primary poll
Buffalo Democrats think the city is headed in the right direction and approve of Mayor Byron W. Brown's job performance, putting him in a strong position as he seeks a third term, according to a poll conducted by Siena College and commissioned by The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV.
Two-thirds of Democratic voters have a favorable opinion of Brown, and 60 percent said they would vote for him if the primary election were held today, according to a poll conducted June 23 to 27.
Brown benefits from strong support among blacks and also because his challenger in the Democratic primary, former FBI official Bernard A. Tolbert, remains unknown to most voters.
Brown has been mayor for nearly eight years, and heading into the Sept. 10 primary, he has more than $1 million in campaign funds and remains a popular figure.
Despite some dissatisfaction with city services, 54 percent of Democratic voters rate Brown's job performance as excellent or good.
Voters also appear to be giving him credit, or at least partial credit, for economic development in the city.
"Any contender is going to have to face that positive spirit, and concrete – literally – that we see all around us," said voter Barbara Mierzwa, who is retired and lives near Canisius High School and plans to vote for Brown. "He's going to be a hard man to beat."
Tolbert has been mentioned as a possible mayoral candidate for more than a year, and he declared his candidacy in May. But 58 percent of Democratic voters said they don't know him or had no opinion of him.
If a competition with Brown were held today, the poll found Tolbert would win the support from 26 percent of Democratic voters, and 13 percent are undecided.
The obvious signs of economic development in the city, from cranes on the waterfront and on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, appear to be helping Brown, even though voters don't think that local government is particularly responsive to citizens.
"It makes it harder for a challenger to take down an incumbent when two-thirds of voters think that the city is headed on the right track," said pollster Steven A. Greenberg.
City Democrats have a dimmer view of local government, with 66 percent saying it responds fairly or poorly to citizens. More than 70 percent of Democratic voters said schools were fair or poor, and 77 percent said roads, sidewalks and other public works were fair or poor.
The scientific poll randomly surveyed 696 registered Democrats. The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
Barry Hassett of South Buffalo is one of those Democratic voters who thinks the city's infrastructure needs a lot of work but is planning to vote for Brown.
"There are streets in South Buffalo that look like they could have filmed the moon landing," Hassett said.
"He's the best of a worse pick I guess. I really wish there was somebody else running for mayor."
Voters were more satisfied with the Police Department and parks and recreational facilities, which scored favorable ratings above 50 percent.
Frank A. Leli Jr. said he is unhappy with the state of the schools, but he doesn't blame Brown for that. The streets in Lovejoy, where he lives, are being paved, and he said he thinks Brown is being tough on crime. "For me, all politics is local," Leli said. "He's not a bad mayor."
Brown was encouraged when told of the poll results Saturday.
"It sounds like very good news. It's a clear indication that residents are happy with the progress we're making in the city," Brown said.
"We're working hard every single day and we're always looking to improve our performance in every single category that is important to residents. We've been pursuing new strategies and best practices that will improve how we provide services in the City of Buffalo," he added.
Tolbert, meanwhile, said he was undeterred by the poll.
"This is not unexpected," Tolbert said. "I'm facing an eight-year incumbent, but this is a marathon, not a sprint."
In the meantime, Tolbert vowed to raise his visibility and to campaign more aggressively in the coming weeks. "We have to be aggressive in getting me out there to people," he said.
"I look forward to debating Byron Brown on the issues. The poll numbers I want to see is how we're compared on the issues," Tolbert added.
Nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters said "the ability to obtain suitable employment" is fair or poor. The city hasn't been responsive to the Pine Harbor Apartments, which sit in the shadow of City Hall, said Sharon Tell. The complex has 208 units and Tell, 43, said she has been trying to get help from City Hall to establish a playground nearby.
"It's time for something new," said Tell, who added she will be voting for Tolbert in the Democratic primary. "I want to see more for the West Side."
Brown's overwhelming support among blacks makes up for somewhat milder support among whites.
Three-quarters of Democratic black voters have a favorable opinion of Brown, compared to 57 percent of white voters.
"Black voters are strongly with the mayor and they've made a decision," Greenberg said. "It appears that there's a larger percentage of white voters who are unsure."
Elmwood Village resident Barbara Howard, 67, said she will not vote for Brown, and she wishes Tolbert was more visible.
The mayor is "taking credit for things he had nothing to do with," Howard said.
"I think it's time for him to go. He's been there long enough," she said.
When Democratic voters are asked whether they will re-elect Brown or prefer someone else, 55 percent said they would re-elect him, 38 percent said they prefer someone else and 8 percent said they didn't know.
"That's a pretty strong re-elect number for an incumbent these days," Greenberg said.
"I always thought the mayor was taking care of business," said Watson, who lives on the East Side near Bailey and Walden avenues.
Nearly half of Democratic white voters, 48 percent, prefer someone other than Brown, and only 43 percent said they would re-elect him.
In a match-up with Tolbert, 75 percent of black Democratic voters said they would vote for Brown, and only 16 percent said they would vote for Tolbert. Tolbert draws support from 34 percent of white Democratic voters in a match-up with Brown, while 49 percent said they would vote for Brown. Nearly one in six white Democratic voters are undecided, compared to about 1 in 10 black voters.
Brown also does slightly better among Democratic men, as 65 percent said they would re-elect him over Tolbert, compared to 57 percent of women.
With 2½ months until the September primary, Tolbert must introduce himself to more Democratic voters if he is going to be competitive.
"He's obviously facing an uphill climb," Greenberg said. "He's got to get known."
The bright spot in the poll for Tolbert is that of the 41 percent of Democratic voters that do know him, he has a 3-1 favorable rating.
One-quarter of black Democratic voters have a favorable opinion of Tolbert, compared to 34 percent of white Democratic voters.
More than 50 percent of Democratic voters said they prefer Brown to address crime, neighborhood concerns, economic development, job creation and taxes, which is expected given the poll's other results, Greenberg said.
Twenty-nine percent of Democratic voters thought Tolbert would do a better job handling crime, and 27 percent thought he would do better with neighborhood issues. Only 18 percent thought he would do better keeping taxes under control, 24 percent thought he would be better at creating jobs, and 21 percent said he would do better managing economic development.
Most Democratic voters don't know Republican Sergio R. Rodriguez, who is seeking the mayor's office in the Nov. 5 general election, and those who do are split on whether they view him favorably.
Rodriguez is known by just 36 percent of Democratic voters. Nineteen percent have a favorable opinion of him, and 17 percent do not.

Mise en place, pronounced MEEZ ahn plahs, means is to have all your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start cooking. Translated, " to put in place."
You already apply this technique in your life. For instance, when you go on a trip, first you make sure you have everything you need and are not forgetting anything, then fold everything nice and neatly so it fits into your bags. Or how about when you are changing the oil in your car. Wait a minute, who changes their oil anymore? How about balancing your checkbook? Hmm, do these even exist anymore? I think you see my point here.
If you are like me, and I hate to admit this but I often just jump into a recipe without prepping my work space. I assume that I have all the ingredients needed based on my never-failing memory. (not!) There have times when I am half way into a recipe when all of a sudden a slew of words start to roll off my tongue…
"HONEY!! can you run to the store for me?!" I bet you thought was I was going to say something else, didn't you? haha
Preparing a mise en place not only assures you that you have all of the ingredients needed, it also forces you to really read through a recipe first so you understand what is needed and how the ingredients are used. Not to mention it is like having an assistant as you are in the midst of making your recipe. You don't have to fumble around for a measuring spoon, you don't have to search through the cabinets trying to find an ingredient.
Most likely you are already practicing this technique without even realizing it. Think back to the last time you made tacos. You create bowls of; lettuce, onions, salsa, sour cream, etc. All ready for the family to use to assemble their tacos. I know I was doing this long before I even heard the French words, Mise en Place!
Looking for some of these small glass bowls? Click (here) to order some!
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful website. I'm a vegan and love eating raw foods and now to think that I can really have my cake and ice cream too without the fats, am loving it and desiring to peers into the recipes with much feedback. Keep them coming!
Hello,I'm interest in buying a Dehydrator….your links shows me a bunch of options. which one do you use. the most expensive one or the cheapest. just because it's expensive is it the best.
Where do you get the differently sized round, glass bowls pictured above? I've seen them in lots of YouTube videos and on recipe sites but no one ever links to them and they're perfect for having remeasured ingredients ready to go.

After doing some intensive research both on the internet and in my own collection of books, I have some things to add to what I wrote earlier this week about boats on Little River in Christian County, Kentucky.
First of all, I found out that the Little River clipping I quoted in my previous post had a few words left out of it. The 1811 act that declared Little River a navigable stream of Christian County, KY, actually said that it could not be obstructed from its mouth to "the mouth of sinking fork of said river." The Sinking Fork comes into Little River a few miles southeast of Cadiz (about 15 miles west of Hopkinsville).
Also, I came to realize that in 1811, Trigg County had not yet been created. It was still part of Christian County. So, what the legislature was calling Christian County in 1811 is not the same as what we call Christian County, today.
An 1815 act of the Kentucky legislature established Steel's Mill as the terminus of the portion of Little River that was reserved for navigation. I haven't been able to learn the location of Steel's Mill, but I think it might have been somewhere near the confluence of the Sinking Fork and Little River. Smaller boats could still have been used above that point; however, the river could be obstructed by foot bridges, mill dams, and the like. (I read about one family who drowned while crossing Little River in a flatboat. Their boat was carried over a mill dam.)
One fellow, a Mr. Samuel Alexander who moved into the Newstead or Julien area of Christian County (south of Gracey) in 1808, shipped farm goods regularly by flatboat, presumably taking the Little River to the Cumberland. William Henry Perrin's 1884 History of Christian County, Kentucky says that Alexander "made frequent trips to New Orleans with flat-boat loads of tobacco and other produce. On one occasion, he extended his trip as far as Santa Fe, New Mexico, taking out goods on pack-mules, which he bartered for mules and mustang ponies."
Cadiz (about 20 miles west of Hopkinsville on a rough and muddy stagecoach road that started as an Indian trail) was a river-shipping center until the railroad came to Hopkinsville. Perrin wrote in the 1884 History of Trigg County, Kentucky that: "[Little River] is the crookedest stream perhaps in the world, and flows to every point of the compass sometimes within the distance of a mile. At one time it was considered a navigable stream, and small boats came up as far as Cadiz. Efforts have been made to obtain an appropriation from the National Government for its improvement, but the fact of its location south of Mason and Dixon's line has so far defeated the laudable undertaking."
Perrin also wrote, "Mr. Robert Baker had a rudely constructed warehouse [in or near Cadiz] which he kept for storing tobacco, and himself and brother and Silas Alexander usually shipped the entire lot in flat-boats up to about 1837 to 1841, their principal market being New Orleans. About this time the tobacco business attracted the attention of gentlemen possessed of means, better credit and a more comprehensive business capacity. and the old shipping system was compelled to give way to the buyers and professional tobacconists."
According to Gail King's entry about flatboats in the Kentucky Encyclopedia, they were sometimes as small as 12 feet wide and 20 feet long. Other sources mention flatboats 10 feet in width in use on smaller streams. When Little River's waters were high, I believe the stream's width and depth would have been more than adequate for small flatboats, even above the Sinking Fork confluence.
An 1891 report on Christian County by the Kentucky Dept of Agriculture noted, "Excellent water-power for mills, or other manufacturing purposes, is afforded by Little river, West Fork, Pond river and other streams. None, however, are navigable for steamboats. If cleaned out, some of them might be available for rafts and flat-boats."
I don't know how many early settlers tried to sail flatboats or other watercraft down the narrower, shallower stretches of Little River and other Christian County streams. However, those pioneers who settled near the rivers saw them as a means of transportation in a wilderness without roads. If they didn't go downriver themselves with their goods, they commissioned or sold to someone who was making a river trip. That's how interstate commerce operated in Kentucky at that time.
Many flatboats ended up in New Orleans, but it was also common to stop along the shore to sell to Southern plantations along the way. The residents of the Deep South were happy to buy Kentucky goods like sorghum, potatoes, corn, whiskey, flour, pork, and of course, tobacco. Even the flatboat was sold at the end of the journey; the lumber brought a good price in New Orleans. The return trip to Kentucky was often made overland, over the Natchez Trace, or sometimes the rivermen returned to Kentucky by steamboat. (Steamboats were running the Mississippi before 1820.)
The importance of the rivers to the early settlers of Christian County is demonstrated by the tax records of 1800. Each taxpayer's record includes the name of the stream on which he lives.

text: EPA reduces natural gas GHG emission estimates; Pennsylvania reaffirms property law on "minerals" Energy Alert Project Finance Alert Share this 16 MAY 2013 By: Joseph Tato Bradford McCormick Two recent legal developments have provided some positive news for the US shale gas industry, which, despite a boom in natural gas production due to technological advances, is facing heightened scrutiny from regulators and legislators. EPA cuts its estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas production The United States Environmental Protection Agency in April 2013 revised its estimates of US greenhouse gas emissions during the period 1990–2010 and released its estimates for 2011. The EPA's revisions changed the estimate for methane released in natural gas systems (including production, processing, transmission and storage, and distribution) from an increase of approximately 14 percent between 1990 and 2010 to a decrease of approximately 11 percent. As a result, the EPA's new estimate of methane emissions from natural gas systems in 2010 is 33 percent lower than its original estimate. This significant estimated decrease in emissions occurred despite an increase in US natural gas production of over 32 percent over the same time period, according to US Energy Information Administration statistics. Such decreased emissions could indicate recognition of greater efficiencies in the production process as well as more widespread use of leakage monitoring and control technologies than was previously assumed to occur in the industry. The decrease in estimated methane emissions shown by the revised EPA report indicates that concerns over excessive methane leakage from natural gas production, including hydraulic fracturing or fracking, may have been exaggerated. Such concerns about the "lifecycle emissions" of natural gas have caused some environmentalists, politicians and regulators to question whether natural gas could be considered a cleaner alternative to coal and a potential bridge fuel on the path to renewable energy generation. The EPA will continue to monitor methane emissions in the industry as part of its greenhouse gas monitoring program. The agency could further revise the emissions report as more data become available, but this recent development may bode well for the shale gas industry. Industry participants and observers largely expect that methane leakage rates will continue to decrease as control technologies improve and more producers adopt them. Pennsylvania reaffirms longstanding property law, providing certainty for shale gas plays In Pennsylvania, one of the most active states for shale gas plays in the US, a recent court ruling settled some confusion over the status of property rights to shale gas in the state. On April 24, 2013, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued its decision in Butler v. Charles Powers Estate, reversing a state court of appeals decision that had the potential to upend the status of some Marcellus Shale gas plays in Pennsylvania. The supreme court in Butler reinstated the ruling of the trial court, reaffirming Pennsylvania's longstanding Dunham Rule (1882) and holding that natural gas is not a "mineral" in the context of a deed reservation, unless the reservation explicitly includes natural gas or clear and convincing parol evidence shows an intent by the parties to the grant to include natural gas in the reservation. The Butler case arose from an 1881 deed that reserved "one-half the minerals and Petroleum Oils" of a property to Charles Powers and his heirs and assigns. The owners of the property in question filed a complaint to quiet title in 2009, claiming ownership of all of the natural gas beneath the property, including within the Marcellus Shale formation. The heirs of the Charles Powers estate appeared, seeking a holding that they rightfully owned one-half of the natural gas located beneath the property. After the trial court dismissed the claim of the Powers heirs pursuant to the Dunham Rule, the court of appeals reversed and remanded the case to allow expert testimony on several issues, including whether Marcellus shale itself is a "mineral" and whether shale gas is comparable to coal-bed gas. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania previously determined, in a case known as Hoge II (1983), that coal-bed gas belonged to the owner of the coal in which the gas was found. Had the appellate court's ruling been affirmed by the supreme court, it could have destabilized the status of existing property rights to shale gas in Pennsylvania, and would have required an expensive and time consuming fact-finding process at the trial court. The supreme court in Butler reversed, holding that the Dunham Rule, as it had been clearly and consistently applied for over a century, applied to the case and made the expert testimony requested by the court of appeals irrelevant. The supreme court distinguished Hoge II, and further found in Butler that Hoge II did not address, let alone revoke, the Dunham Rule. As a result, the supreme court reaffirmed the Dunham Rule. It is now clear that, in Pennsylvania, natural gas is not included in a reservation of "minerals" unless it is explicitly named within the reservation or there is clear and convincing parol evidence that the parties intended for natural gas to be included within the reservation despite not being named.

Much appreciate any leads. There was a guy kiting a foil board with an aluminum foil he just got. He went back out after me. Anybody know who that is? He might have it, but not be checking the forum. Tall, ginger complexion kites OB and 3rd.
Thanks y'all!

Unless I hold down the appropriate key for my pop-up blocker software to allow the box to appear, the pop-up blocker does it's job and kills the pop-up. But if I make another attempt to assign APs I receive the "Must spread around your AP points" message.
So I'm just wondering, when I screw up and forget to hold down the allow pop-up button, am I assigning positive or negative APs?
The mentally disturbed are persecuted here in America, and I say rightfully so!
These people are NUTS!

Essays of varying length written to give you a brief overview of the contents of a Bible book or section.
Center-column Reference Bible
Bible with references listed in a vertical column located in the middle of the page between two columns of Bible text.
Chain Reference Bible
Bible with references grouped into categories with a numbering system to link topics together.
Chronological Bible
Bible that arranges passages in the order in which the events most likely occurred.
Alphabetical index of important Bible words, showing you the verses in which the word occurs. A concordance can be very helpful when finding a particular verse you may have in mind, even if you only remember a few words of the verse. It is also a very useful tool for studying a particular topic or subject. Many Bibles have some sort of concordance included, even if only a small, limited one. Concordances are also available as separate books, and as such are geared toward a particular translation.
Dead Sea Scrolls
Scrolls from just prior to the time of Jesus that were discovered in the 1940s. Archaeologists and biblical scholars have studied the Dead Sea scrolls and have found them to contain portions of nearly all of the Old Testament books. Most modern translations incorporate the scholarship of these archeological findings, giving them a distinct advantage over older translations.
Combination Bible dictionary and concordance—usually brief and often used in Children's bibles.
Translation footnotes help explain the meaning of a particular word or verse.*
Textual footnotes help explain variance in the text from traditional readings. Harmony of the Gospels*
This reference tool attempts to harmonize identical passages or stories from each of the gospels and places them in a chronological order to help you easily compare the different events in the life of Christ.
Placing text on the cover of a Bible—usually the name of the owner. More information about Imprinting.
The Hebrew or Greek text of the Bible with a literal English translation of each word. As the name implies, the English translation is placed between lines of the Hebrew or Greek text.
See Thumb-Indexed, below.
In-text Maps and Charts
These maps and charts allow you to easily access information that is relevant to a passage of scripture on the same page. This lets you access the information at a glance instead of turning to the back of your Bible. Charts are especially helpful in organizing a vast amount of information that can be scanned quickly. When it comes to a list of Jesus' miracles, parables, or journeys this tool can be very helpful.
Bible of single page sheets held together in a ring binder. The pages usually have large margins to allow for notes and comments. The binder allows you to add additional pages of your own notes and commentary.
Parables and Miracles
Some study Bibles provide an outline in the back of the Bible guiding you through all the parables and miracles of Jesus and where they can be found in each of the gospels.
Parallel Bibles
consist of different Bible translations placed side-by-side in one volume. Each page contains a complete Scripture portion from each of the versions so that the reader may easily compare the differences and similarities between the versions.
A paraphrase uses an existing translation as a starting point and rewrites that text using different words or formats, as opposed to actually translating directly from the original Hebrew and Greek text.
Presentation Pages
one or more pages at the front of a Bible, for recording the user's name as well as other information like marriages, births, family trees, etc.
Red Letter Edition
a Bible with the words of Christ printed in red.
Reference Bible
A Bible in which the text contains cross-references to related words, phrases or Scripture verses. The references can be located in a side column or columns, a center column, at the bottom of the page, or at the verse or paragraph breaks within the text.
Side Column
A Bible listing references in the inside and/or outside columns of the page.
Single Column
A Bible with just one column of Bible text on a page, much like a book.
Study Bible
A Bible with additional helps for studying the Scripture text. These helps may include: cross-references, notes on the same page, maps, concordance and/or dictionary, and other helps.
Subject Index
a listing of major Bible topics, each followed by a passage or passages of Scripture about that topic. Some subject indexes also reference topics covered in study notes, devotions, and book introductions.
Study notes
are also included with study Bibles. These notes are not part of the actual text of the Bible but are included as helpful tools for those readers who want to understand more about God's Word. Study notes sometimes give additional information about the meaning of specific Bible passages or tell some additional facts about biblical people, places, and times.
Table of Weights and Measures
Biblical terms for weight, capacity, and length are shown in their equivalent American measure to help readers understand some of the ancient terms.
Text Bible
A Bible containing only the Scripture text – no additional helps. For example, most pew Bibles are text Bibles.
Thumb Index
Groves in the side of the pages (similar to the grooves in a dictionary) which provide quick access to the different books of the Bible.
means to take the original Greek and Hebrew Bible text and put them into today's language to make it understandable. The terms "Translation" and "Version" are often used interchangable, and mean essentially the same thing. For more about translations, click here.
Trim Size
Trim Size refers to the size of the interior paper portion of a Bible. It is the size the paper is "trimmed" to during the binding process of production. Paperback covers are the size of the paper as well. A Hardcover usually extends over the Trim Size by about a 1/8-inch on all sides of the Bible. Leather and imitation covers usually extends over the Trim Size by about a 1/4-inch on all sides except the spine, which adds about a 1/8 inch.
Typeface and size
refers to the shape and size of the letters on a page in that Bible. Bible publishers strive to provide the most legible and attractive appearance for each Bible style and edition. The size or shape of a particular typeface can affect its readability.
Verse References
A Bible with cross references included at the end of the verse to which they are related.
Wide Margin
a Bible with wider than average margins of blank page between the text and the edges of the pages. Excellent Bibles for note-taking.
Word Studies
Since the Bible was originally written in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, we have had to translate our Bibles. Like any translation some of the nuances are lost, since English does not always have ways to easily express ideas or concepts found in the original language. Word Studies help to bring out the fuller sense of what the original conveyed. Word Studies are provided in such study Bibles as the Hebrew Greek Key Study Bible, The Thompson Chain Reference Bible, and even in some editions of the new Holman Christian Standard Bible.

NZXT Avatar Crafted Series Gaming Mouse Review
When it comes to gaming, there are many factors that can alter your playing experience. Having top end components like processors and video cards certainly helps as well as skill. But what if your mouse isn't up to task? Claiming the top spot in any game is never an easy feat, but having a high quality gaming mouse is a great start. It should be fast, precise and comfortable enough to keep playing for many hours nonstop. Gaming is not all there is though and nobody wants to switch mice when they go from gaming to general usage, so some level of customizability is also a very important feature to have. In this crowded market, there is already a ton of choices and our latest weapon, the Avatar, comes from NZXT.
Established in 2004, NZXT is headquarted in Los Angeles, California, where it has been designing and engineering cases, power supplies and cooling accessories. We've had many of its products reviewed here at OverclockersClub and we have yet to be deceived by the company's offerings. Now NZXT is entering into a new arena. The Avatar, part of NZXT's "Crafted" series, is its first entry into the gaming mouse market. According to some, first impressions is all that matters, so let's see if NZXT's first mouse is a hit...or a miss.
Closer Look:
The Avatar comes in an extremely sleek looking black box, simple yet attractive design. The only thing hinting you to a computer related device is the NZXT logo stamped on the lower right corner of the box. It kind of reminds me of Apple's packaging, except NZXT took it a step further by displaying minimal information. When you first take a look at it, it really makes you wonder what's going on with this box!
Once the cover is taken off, the beast finally shows up. It is proudly pictured with its name, Avatar, written right under it in a reflective silver color. Two main features are listed on the bottom right corner; instant DPI change up to 2600 DPI and seven customizable buttons. Printed on the back are the features and specifications listed in four different languages.
The front panel can be flipped open to show the real thing along with all the buttons and a few features like the rubber grips and the DPI indicator. The brushed aluminium look used for the logo is a great addition to already good looking packaging.
You can clearly see once again that NZXT paid great attention to detail when designing the retail packaging; the front panel can be opened so you can simply slide the manual out. The extra space is filled with a foam sheet to keep everything from moving. The mouse itself is held tight in a plastic shell inside yet another box.
Let's move along and take a closer look at the mouse itself.

Podcaster was the first high-profile application that got rejected. Podcaster allowed its users to download and stream podcasts directly, instead of having to download them through iTunes first, and according to Apple, this duplicated functionality of Apple's own iTunes. The author of the application defended himself by stating that it offers several features that Apple does not offer. In addition, loads of other applications in the App Store also duplicate functionality of default applications. Obviously, Apple is rejecting Podcaster because the company plans to add similar functionality in future iPhone/iTunes updates.
The case of MailWrangler is similarly odd, since the rejection email didn't make an awful lot of sense. MailWrangler allowed you to be logged in to multiple GMail accounts at the same time, and switch between them without having to log out, like you had to do when using mobile Safari. Apple rejected the application because it deemed it too similar to the included mobile Mail application, even though they are both rather dissimilar.
These rejections caused a tidal wave of criticism, because they appeared to be completely random. The applications didn't break any of the rules set forth by the iPhone's SDK agreement, so how are developers to know - beforehand - if their application is accepted or not? In an attempt to stop these criticisms, Apple has added an NDA clause to its rejection notices:
In other words, if you're an iPhone application developer, the process of designing and writing an application goes more or less like this. You spend quite some time thinking of an idea, and then you set out to design your application. After weeks and months of painstakingly implementing your idea as a working iPhone application, you submit it to the App Store, and cross your fingers hoping all your work hasn't been in vain. Sadly, it appears that you broke some invisible rule, or you duplicated default functionality even though you didn't, or you inadvertently came up with an idea Apple was already working on for a future iPhone revision - and your application is rejected. And you're not allowed to talk about it. Your wife (or husband) is really going to wonder what you've been doing all those weeks in your basement.
These policies from Cupertino are devastating for developer confidence, and one high-profile developer (of Exposure) has already stopped developing applications for the current App Store. I'm out, he says. "'I'm out' doesn't mean I'm pulling Exposure from the store. All it means is I'm not going to invest time and money into new ideas for the iPhone until this mess is resolved."

UN chief blames Hamas for breaking cease-fire
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon blamed Hamas on Friday for violating the cease-fire in Gaza and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of an Israeli soldier reportedly captured after it started.
The U.N. chief urged both sides "to show maximum restraint and return to the agreed 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire that tragically lasted such a brief period of time," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
Ban urged "those with influence over the parties to do everything to convince them to observe the humanitarian cease-fire," he said.
"The secretary-general condemns in the strongest terms the reported violation by Hamas of the mutually agreed humanitarian ceasefire which commenced this morning," Dujarric said. "He is shocked and profoundly disappointed by these developments."
Ban noted that the U.N. has no independent means to verify exactly what happened Friday morning, Dujarric said, but according to the latest reports, two IsraeIi soldiers were killed and one taken captive after the cease-fire came into effect.
"This would constitute a grave violation of the cease-fire, and one that is likely to have very serious consequences for the people of Gaza, Israel and beyond," Dujarric said. "Such moves call into question the credibility of Hamas' assurances to the United Nations."
Israel and Hamas accused each other of breaking the cease-fire, which had been announced by the United States and the United Nations and took effect at 8:00 a.m. local time on Friday. The fighting broke out less than two hours later, and the apparent capture of the Israeli soldier could lead to a major escalation of the 25-day-old conflict.
Dujarric also said Ban is also concerned at the resumption of Israeli attacks on Gaza that killed over 70 Palestinians Friday morning.
Arab nations have requested "an informal meeting" of the 193-member U.N. General Assembly to discuss "the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza," according to a letter sent to Assembly President John Ashe.
U.N. political chief Jeffrey Feltman also told reporters that Ban is "profoundly disappointed" that the assurances from Hamas were not kept.
According to the Israeli army, an hour after Friday's cease-fire started, gunmen emerged from one or more Gaza tunnels and opened fire at Israeli soldier. During the ensuing mayhem, an Israeli army lieutenant was apparently captured, while another two soldiers were killed.
Feltman said he "is convinced" that Hamas knew Israel could carry out defensive operations such as tunnel destruction during the cease-fire.
"Perhaps some will deny that now, but, yes, it was very clear in the diplomacy being done yesterday ... that the Israelis were going to continue to try to do destruction of tunnels," he said. "So I don't think — rightly or wrongly — it should have been any surprise to anyone that Israelis were going to continue their tunnel operation given their own public statements."
The joint U.N.-US statement announcing Friday's cease-fire said all parties would send delegations to Cairo for negotiations aimed at reaching a lasting truce.
Feltman said the Egyptian government was hosting the talks and had issued invitations, so a decision is up to them. He said he has "a hard time envisioning how these talks would work right now" since they were predicated on a cease-fire.

Pride (US - DVD R1)
Gabe drowns in an inspirational pool of genre clichés while viewing this re-tread
This is the 'true' story of Jim Ellis (Terrence Howard), a former up and coming swimmer whose dreams were crushed by racism in the 1960s. As an adult in the 1970s, he's unable to find work as a teacher he finds himself cleaning up a soon to be decommissioned recreation centre in one of Philadelphia's roughest neighbourhoods. After cleaning out the centre's pool he decides to coral the unmotivated youth and turn them into a swim team. His team then faces the same racist problems he did in the '60s.
Racism is an awful thing, as is poverty, and both will always make for intriguing drama. The problem is that both issues can be exploited in broad and hackneyed terms in popular film. Another broad and hackneyed film tradition is the underdog story. I am personally and particularly bored by sports themed underdog stories. As far as I'm concerned, the genre peaked with Slap Shot (and the last straw should've been Shaolin Soccer's awesome spoof).
So what happens when these two broad and hackneyed genres combine and graced with the oh-so-overused 'based on a true story' tag? Well, I can assure you that there are plenty of triumphant uphill battles, sleazy comic-book bad guys, and montages set to period appropriate music. The long and the short of it is, Pride is, generic title and all, exactly the movie you'd expect it to be.
I won't go on for paragraph after paragraph of complaining because the film could've been a whole lot worse. It's predictable as hell, but the 'get up and cheer' moments elicited a tiny hint of swell in my otherwise bored heart. The acting is generally pretty good, including headliners Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac, who are good in pretty much everything they touch, but nobody seems to be pushing themselves other than the cinematographer. Pride looks great, beyond the usual hipper-than-thou music video stuff found in similar films like Remember the Titans.
Pride has good intentions, but I don't see anyone remembering the film more than a week after seeing it. It's not bad; it just trips over the clichés of two very overplayed genres. I only recommend it to fans of the actors, and those who just can't get enough of folks overcoming unbeatable odds. Oh, and those who just can't get enough man-candy. There are almost as many nearly naked man bodies in this film as 300, and these ones aren't trying to kill each other, so perhaps the ladies (and some of the men) will have a ball (no, uh, pun intended).
As I said in the review, the film looks fantastic, and the transfer does not disappoint. The saturated colours are bright without bleeding or blooming. Details are sharp without any noticeable edge enhancement. There is some grain, but no more than we should expect from film. I think some of the highlights may be too white, but this is probably a stylistic choice on the filmmaker's part. All in all very good, and better than I've come to expect from recent LionsGate releases.
If you didn't find the story content full of cliché's, then the soundtrack is sure to make intentions obvious. The original score (and I use the term very lightly) is a mix of every inspirational cue ever in the history of inspirational movies. The other music is good soul and funk from the era the film takes place, but nothing we haven't heard a billion times before. There are plenty of good songs out there just begging to be used in a period piece.
Anyway, the Dolby Digital 5.1 track is crisp and clean. The channels aren't all that busy, but the surround and stereo effects work nicely. Most of the impressive stuff is reserved for the music, and the bass is really aggressive here without acting overbearing or warbling.
The relatively light extras begin with a good natured but ultimately awful commentary track. Director Sunu Gonera is so proud of the film's broad and hackneyed elements, and his just enough pretension to claim his work and the work of those in his film is genius. He also spends way too much time reiterating what is specifically happening on screen, and covering very obvious subtext. He must have gone to the Arnold Schwarzenegger school of commentary track recording.
There is one deleted scene, and a series of extended scenes. The deleted scene is actually one of the best things to come out of the movie. I haven't seen it a million times before, it's warm hearted, and Bernie Mac gets a chance to shine like I haven't seen him shine in a while. The extended scenes are more of the usual drivel that always adorns sports films, twenty-five minutes of it. I'm glad they cut the stuff they did. All the extended scenes pertain to the film's climatic final match. All the deleted and extended scenes are anamorphically enhanced, but aren't in 5.1 surround.
Just in case you didn't get enough musical montage, LionsGate's got three more for you here, made just for the DVD. Really, really silly and most of them use the exact same footage. And if you're a fan of B-List trailers, there's about fifteen minutes worth here for you.
Pride isn't inept, but it isn't very impressive either. It culls every heavy-handed moment from every underdog story, every race or class related film, and every film that has something to do with sports. If you want more of the same, some nice visuals, and some above average performances, then by all means, proceed. The DVD itself looks and sounds good, and has a decent collection of extras.
