Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Out of the Closet...
That crazy bastard Brucie has another interesting job for you, so go ahead and visit him at his place at Mohanet Avenue. When you arrive, you'll find Roman already there, surfing the net on a laptop. Brucie, of course, is acting like a crazy meathead. The plan Roman and Brucie have hatched for Niko, however, is a funny one. Remember Lyle Rivas? You used a cop car's laptop to find him and kill him in an earlier mission. Well, now it's come to light that his cousin owes Brucie money. In order to get to this guy, they've created a profile for Niko on a gay dating website. It appears Rivas's cousin likes people of his own gender, so this seems like the perfect setup.
After the cutscene introducing the mission is over, head outside, boost a car, and head towards the internet café on Oneida Avenue. Once you arrive, go on inside and logon to the dating website called LoveMeet. Once there, select that you're interested in men, and then search for a guy named French Tom. This is the guy that you want to set up a date with. Shoot him an e-mail to let him know that you're interested. Then, you have to play the waiting game.
Your best bet is to call up one of your friends and go out for a good time. We called up Little Jacob and hit up the strip bar in Bohan. This allowed the prerequisite amount of time to pass, and when we were done, a text message from Roman let us know to go back to the internet café and check our mail. When you do, the pompous French Tom responds and requests a meet-up at the diner on Bart Street at the south end of Broker. That location is essentially due south from the internet café, so boost a car and get going!
Enter the diner and look for French Tom, who will already be sitting at a booth waiting for you to arrive. As you sit and speak with him, interesting and inappropriate comments will come out of French Tom's mouth. The game will eventually prompt you to stand up, take out a weapon, and eliminate him. You can do this at your leisure, however, if you really want to listen to the rest of the conversation. Once you stand up, French Tom will ask you what you're doing. Aim a firearm at him, and he'll begin running away. Make sure to subdue him before he leaves the diner. Once he's killed, the deed is done, but if you attracted any police attention from this murder, make sure you lose them as soon as you can.

I haven't seen an "out of droids" message yet, so hopefully I can get in the queue. These look excellent -- am sure someone has already made this joke, but these are the droids I am looking for. Paypal and email to follow directly!
Are the Droids still available?
Try it, you'll like (love) it!
Ill take one.
You have an email.
Thank You!

Please post up pics of the Droid in use!
There was one in the live 4Sevens feed yesterday.
Surefire,Inova,4Sevens,Fenix,Olight,Malkoff, AEX25,Xeray50,Polarion Aybss Dual, AElight 30-50 watt,Wiseled tactical 2000,Peak, Lupine Wilma TL, .......
Shipping will resume Monday when I return from Shot.
Dave, I'll take one!
Sent you an email.
I am sure you are busy with Shot Show
When you get a chance check your email.
Not the best pictures but you get the idea or at least mine. I will be wearing mine aroung my neck. It is machined like a fine piece of jewelry so why not.
The chain is Ti also and I will be adding a McGizmo TI clip so it will hang better not needed but I think it will be cool.
Are these still available to order? if so I'm in
Cool payment sent can't wait to check it oit in person.
wow the Droid Carabiner is amazing! Just got mine today and it promptly
replaced a modified #2 niteize s-biner on my edc setup. The size of the droid
is perfect for belt loop attachment and it hardly weighs anything, yet it still
feels completely solid (gotta love Ti). You know it's secure when you hear
that click.
Now, the only way for me to lose my edc, is to misplace my pants.
The droid is more fun to play with than a new light. Looking forward to
using it daily, there's just nothing else like it.
for those of you thinking about getting one.. pull the trigger.. it's worth
every penny. you could consider it insurance for your edc if there was ever such a thing. hehe
I'm in, papal and message sent! AMAZING art here... :O)))
Are there any of these still left? Can anyone post reviews/user pics or keychain setup pics? I'm considering one for my keychain setup, but I'd like to see more pics of how it works. My keychain EDC consists of a Ti G3 prybaby, a McGizmo Sapphire, a Ti Dave Sawyer whistle, a Munroe Ti Mega Dangler and a Jordan Metal Art Ti Drive. I'd like to have all of these things be individually removable. Is that possible with the Droid?
No pics...right now...maybe some after today's hike.
Yes, you can hang seven (!!) tools, lights, keyrings, etc from the Droid. The line of six holes along the longest "edge" (?) not sure what to call the perimeter of the Droid) plus the one larger hole at the opposite end of the opening mechanism permit multiple attachment points. In addition you could hang more carry essentials--the Droid is well capable of a fair amount of hang weight--but I suspect you'd find your trousers on the ground if it is attached to your belt loop! Dave may shoot me for this but to date, my Droid has remained a work of art to be admired rather than a useful tool for hanging my hiking and daily use necessities! (Sorry Dave! ) Now that Dave has been so kind as to have me test the finest EDC in the world (The Tri-V of course!!) I see where the Droid will come into active daily use as the most dependable method of attachment of the Tri-V to karlthev for the ultimate in light security. Now, should you see a pair of (oversized I am told !) jeans with a Tri-V attached by a Droid---and no karlthev in them--for goodness sakes, stop the perpetrator!!
Seriously, the multiple attachment points will offer you as many carry options as the Droid will offer you security.
I wanted to check in with you to see if you had a Droid 58 Carabiner still available for purchase. I might even get two if you had them.
Well . . . yes and no.
They all sold except about seven of them so I decided to pare them with a super cool solid titanium chain-mail chain and a SS swivel. I have been so busy with the Tri-V that I have not had time to post any pics.
The purpose of all this is to provide a turn-key tether solution for the SPY. I already acquired the chains and so the remaining Droids are available as a set with the titanium chains for $299.
I clip mine on my belt loop and drop my light in my front pocket. Of course it can be used with a wallet too.

This chain is great and very, very lightweight too.
A great idea with the SS swivel. (Mine haven't the SS swivel - I think it was the prototype.)
I recently (FCW#6) saw Dave sporting this very combination and, let me tell you, what a dashing sight it made! I've already got two of the components....hmmmm....
That is very cool indeed. Hmmm is right Karl.
Between this, the GPA, the lights, I might as well just send all my paycheques to Dave.
Well, I'm sure Dave wouldn't be opposed to that possibility.... Maybe you can work out some type of direct deposit....?
I'll take one Droid-chain set. Email and PP to (did) follow. Thanks.

CCW, I will get this out this week. The Tri-V shipping is going quickly.

Improving the EHR Interface and Topol Saves Patient's Life on Flight Home

These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
As I thought through my day at HIMSS, a theme started to emerge from all the dozens of meetings I've already had at the show (with many more still to come). The theme I saw coming out was ways to improve the EHR interface. This is a much needed change in EHR's, so it was interesting to see a whole series of companies working on ways to make the EHR interface better. Here are some of the highlights from companies I talked to at HIMSS.
SwiftKey – While the SwiftKey product can be used in the consumer space as well, it was interesting to see the technology applied to healthcare. SwiftKey is basically a replacement for your mobile device keyboard. In fact, I'd call SwiftKey a smart keyboard for your mobile device. What does it do to make your mobile device keyboard smart?
First, it offers word suggestions you can easily choose as you start to type. Most people are familiar with this base functionality because it exists in some form in most mobile keyboards (or at least it does on my Android). However, they've taken it a couple steps further. They actually use the context of what you've typed to predict what word you may want to type next. For example, if you type, "nausea and" then it predicts that you'll want to type vomiting. If you type "urinary" then it will predict tract and then infection. Plus, they told me their algorithm will also learn your own colloquial habits. Kind of reminds me of Dragon voice recognition that learns your voice over time. SwiftKey learns your language habits over time.
I'm sure some of these predictive suggestions could lead to some hilarious ones, but it's an interesting next step in the virtual keyboards we have on mobile devices. I'll be interested to hear from doctors about what they think of the SwiftKey keyboard when it's integrated with the various EHR iPad apps.
M*Modal and Intermountain – Thinking back on the demos and products I've seen at HIMSS 2013, I think that the app M*Modal has created for Intermountain might be the coolest I've seen so far. In this app, a doctor would say an order for a prescription, and the M*Modal technology would apply voice recognition and then parse the words into the appropriate CPOE order fields. It was pretty impressive to see it in action. Plus, the time difference between speaking the order and trying to manually select the various order fields on the mobile device was incredible.
I was a little disappointed it was only a demo system, but it sounds like Intermountain is still doing some work on their end to make the CPOE happen. I'm also quite interested to see if a simple mobile app like this will see broad adoption or if more features will need to be added to get the wide adoption. However, it was almost like magic to see it take a recorded voice and convert it into 5-7 fields on the screen. I'd be interested to see the accuracy of the implementation across a large set of doctors, but the possibilities are quite interesting for transforming the CPOE interface.
Cerner Mobile – One of the new Cerner ambulatory EHR features is an iPad interface for the doctor. I'm sure that many will think this is old news since so many other iPad EHR interfaces are out there. In some ways it is, but there was a slickness to their app that I hadn't seen a lot of places. In fact, the demo of their ambulatory EHR iPad app reminded me a lot of the features that I saw in this video Jonathan Dreyer from Nuance created (bottom video) that demonstrated some of the mobile voice capabilities. Plus, the app had a nice workflow and some crazy simple features like doing a refill. One swipe and the med was refilled. Almost makes it too easy.
Canon – This is a little different than some of the other EHR interface things I talk about above. In the case of Canon it was interesting to see the tight integration that's possible between the Canon scanners and EHR software. Instead of the often laborious process of scanning to your EHR and assigning it to a patient, Canon has a scan direct to EMR option including analyzing the cover sheet to have the scanned document attached to the right patient and EHR chart location. While we'd all love to have paper gone, it will be a part of healthcare for the forseeable future. The scan direct to EMR is a pretty awesome feature.
Those are a number of the EHR interface things that I've seen so far at HIMSS. I'm sure there are dozens of others out there as well. I think this is a great trend. Sure, each of these things is only a small incremental change, but with hundreds of EHR vendors all doing small incremental changes we're going to see great things. That's good, because many of the current EHR interfaces are terribly unusable.
In an related topic, Eric Topol gave a keynote address at HIMSS today. He had glowing reviews from what I could tell. Although, what's an even more powerful story is to see the message he shared at HIMSS in action. On Topol's flight home to San Diego a patient was having some medical issue. He did the ECG right on the plane using his smartphone and the passenger was able to make it safely to the destination. You can read the full story here. What's even more amazing is that this is the second time something like this has happened to Topol. This probably means he flies too much, but also is an incredible illustration of the mHealth technology at work. Truly amazing!
Full Disclosure: Cerner and Canon are advertisers on this site.

Post subject: Thai or Asian Food
I have eaten my share of Thai food in different countries and finally landed in Thailand. The best Thai food I have ever dined on was a little place in OKC around 23'rd street, ordered the broccoli beef.
Here are a few great asian food sites, packed with photo's, descriptions and recipes.

Post subject: DIY Thai
Having recently spent a month in Thailand, I returned home and began sampling many Thai restaurants and Thai convenience foods. While there are many good Thai restaurants in the Pacific NW, the convenience foods are dismally inadequate. I started to experiment with making my own Pad Thai and quickly found this staple is very easy to make and the home version is as good as any I had in Thailand. I will attempt to tell you how I made it.
Pad Thai for 4
Noodle preparation
Place one 16 oz (or close) package of rice noodles (linguine size) into a bowl of very hot tap water to soak 30-45 minutes until tender. Don't cook the noodles! Drain when tender, just before adding to stir fry below. Don't substitute any other kind of noodle. It must be rice.
Mix and set aside this for the sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup rice (or white) vinegar
1/3 cup fish sauce* (this can be changed to a light soy sauce, but it is not as good)
1/3 cup plum sauce from the Asian food section (this is a substitute for hard to find tamarind paste)
This will produce a very wet and saucy Pad Thai. You can change all amounts to 1/4 cup for a drier finished dish. Experiment.
Wash and cut up one bunch of cilantro and one bunch of green onions. Set aside.
Wash and set aside about a pound of fresh bean sprouts (or other similar amount chopped veges like carrots, broccoli, cabbage, etc. More is better.)
Chop up a half cup of peanuts or cashews. Set aside.
Scramble up 4-6 eggs. Set aside.
Stir fry - The trick to stir fry (from a quick Thai cooking lesson) is very hot and very fast. Have all your ingredients prepared for fast work at the wok.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok on high heat until almost smoking. Don't scrimp on the oil amount.
Quickly pour all the scrambled eggs into the oil. In the hot oil they will quickly puff up and set with little absorbtion of the oil. Don't stir, but gently fold as the eggs set to get nice big egg curds.
You will have to make some adjustments here based on exactly what veges you use. Things that need more cooking time should be added now and heated in the hot oil. Things like bean sprouts, onions, cilantro should not be added now as they will overcook. This is not a precision recipe.
Add the mixed sauce and stir to heat without burning on the high heat.
Add the noodles (that should have drained, and are not dripping wet). Keep it all in motion so it all gets hot fast and not burned. Heat just until rice noodles darken and have a good texture. Taste often. They overcook very rapidly, so watch out.
Add the bean sprouts and heat only until they are warmed up, not cooked soggy. This is also when you might add other veges that don't need much cooking, like chopped carrots. The idea is to preserve taste and texture - a hot, soggy slop will make an unhappy dinner.
Turn off the heat. Toss in the cilantro and put onto a serving plate. Top off with chopped green onion and chopped peanuts. A sprinkle of lime juice is also very good.
This sounds a like a mess to make, but it only takes about 30 - 45 minutes. Start off with soaking the noodles and by the time you have rest done, they will be ready to drain and use.
Again, this is NOT a precision recipe. Keep in mind that it is simple by nature. It is the staple food served from thousands of Thai food carts and so must have only a few basic ingredients that are quick and easy to work with. I have found some additions like firm tofu chunks, chopped chicken, etc. are also good - added to the cooking process in the appropriate time.
The real Thai hot sauce for the table is very simple to make. Thinly slice several fresh Thai chili peppers, or other small blazing hot chilis. Add to about 1/3 cup of fish sauce. Serve in a small bowl with a spoon for topping off the pad thai with the Thai dragon.
*Fish sauce. This magic elixir made of anchovies, salt, and water has been a source of fascination for me. It is a signature flavor of many Thai dishes. You can find fish sauce in any Asian grocery or well stocked Asian aisle of your supermarket. It comes packaged like soy sauce. It is amazingly cheap. When I first tasted it I thought it was simply awful. Now, as with tobasco sauce, I can't live without it on many foods. It takes a little time to get over the "fishy" taste, but you will, and will be rewarded amply for this new addition to your condiment arsenal.

I went to a Thai Restaurant a few years ago with my brother when our classes went to the ROM(Royal Ontario Museum). I ordered something I can't remember the name of it but it was curry and coconut milk and shrimp on rice and it was beautiful! I have never been able to replicate it sadly. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about and knows the recipe I would love it thanks!

I'm not a big fan of Thai food. It's too heavy on the sauces and spice for my tastes. I've always been partial to Japanese food. I love fish, and that is such a huge staple in the food. There is this amazing authentic Japanese restaurant in my town that offers really
fresh seafood
, which is a pretty impressive feat for a city in the Midwest.

Can you tell I've got about a thousand other things to do? Yeah, that's why I decided yesterday was the day I would knit many, many micro mountains. And pretend I could make the semester go away.
It didn't work. The semester is still here, but now I've got some happy little mountains to line up on my bookcase.
I experimented a bit with different sock yarns and different needle sizes (from US0 to US2) and have to say: the recommended yarn (koigu) really works best. It probably wouldn't have to be koigu; I imagine any tightly spun fingering weight would do (I also liked the cherry tree hill supersock). Other, less tightly spun yarns sometimes produced a slightly floppy mountain. Never good.
Super cute, super fast, super fun. What more could you want from a pattern? They are highly addicitive. Also, you bet I'll be passing these out as gifts.
In other knitting news, I finally sewed on the pockets:
Idlewood is done! Thanks to Finishing Techniques for Hand Knitters, I figured out how to do it correctly (guide threads! who knew?), sat down one evening and finished it up. It was a lot of mattress stitch, but well worth it: neat, secure, and completely cute. It snowed this morning (scattered flurries predicted for today) and tomorrow is supposed to be wintry, which sounds like a perfect recipe for some wooly handknits.
Which might be why I'm dreaming of a new handknit cardigan? Ah, to have more time.

(11/3/11) Hollywood is famous for putting fantasies onscreen but sometimes they get outdone by the claims of television personalities. Check out the video from at left and see if that's not the case here. Conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly, who hosts The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News network, features a recurring segment called Believers vs Non-Believers. On it last night, he reran parts of an earlier show where he locked horns with famed biologist and atheist, Prof. Richard Dawkins, claiming that Dawkins' new science book for children, The Magic of Reality, was an attempt to "get to the kids and say you're an idiot if you believe in God."
He used that to enlist his current guest, spirituality and alternative medicine promoter Deepak Chopra, who (like Dawkins had been) was there to promote a book, into a criticism of the absent atheist... not that Chopra was reluctant to chime in.
More, including a video, here.

Yeah, they kicked Richard Dawkins' ass. Just like I kicked Mike Tyson's ass.
Right, Chris!
Why do intelligent people such as Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, go on FoxNews?
Probably for the same reason educators go and teach at prisons. Trying to bring some knowledge and enlightenment to the gullible and ignorant who have chosen the wrong path. Are you going to reach everyone? No. The majority? No. A few? Hopefully!
Chopra and O'Reilly..theres a match made in..oops! Now if we could get them to connect with Coast to Coast AM!!
Check out this blog I did on Chopra. I called it "Hero of the stupid"
It's futile unless he was trying to sell his books, which is brilliant. Duh!
As if DeepCrap ChokesYa has a scientific leg to stand on when dissing Richard Dawkins. Let's see Bill Orally have J.K. Rowling debate Neil deGrasse Tyson about how the laws of physics can be influenced by chanting and wand-waving...because making millions selling woo-woo lends a person so much more credibility than scientific degrees and actual scientific achievements. Seriously - does anyone give any weight to what a couple of idiots think about Richard Dawkins? I don't. If Richard Dawkins' vision came true there would be far fewer gullible idiots out there buying into the woo and people like ChokesYa and Orally would have to get real jobs.
Chopra is such an idiot. I don't even see how he's relevant in these types of discussions anymore. As for Bill O, well he just has no place speaking on it.
Tides go in, tides go out. Can't explain that hurr hurr hurr. What a bunch of ridiculous nonsense that only a Fox News viewer would take with any seriousness.
The only thing they should've said was thank you Mr. Dawkins for taking time to make us seem relevant for a second.
Bitch, please. I've seen a few of Dawkins' appearances on the O'Reilly Factor and he reduces Billo into a stammering moron. Of course, Billo's definition of an ass-kicking is "I'm yelling louder than you are so I'm winning!"

(with apologies to Rudyard Kipling)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on the teacher;
If you can trust the teacher's faith in you,
When you are doubting yourself;
If you can work and not be too tired by working,
And do the work because it helps you learn,
And not because it will be graded.
Or because it is required;
If you can think-and not give up because you don't know something;
If you can meet hard tests and independent projects with triumph and disaster
And treat those two results just the same;
If you can hear that biology truths are messy and not always true,
That thinking biology is merely facts and terms is a trap for fools,
And the teacher's job is not to supply truths
But to challenge your mind and help you develop tools;
And risk it on one answer to an unfamiliar question,
And get it wrong but learn from that
And feel satisfied that you did;
If you can force yourself to take ownership of your learning
To truly learn long after you've been accepted into college,
And so not give up when there is nothing in it for you
Except the Will to develop more sophisticated understanding;
Or ask questions of wonder or confusion or 'possiblies';
If you can recall your learning from last year or last week
And apply it to new situations and grow new synapses;
If you can believe that deeply understanding 70% of the concepts
Is better than knowing 100% of the terms;
If can believe that you own your learning in class and out
And tutors or looking up answers will not help on tests;
Yours is deeper understanding of biology and all that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be an AP Scholar my student!

Léon (UK - BD RB)
Chris checks out the Blu-ray release of Natalie Portman's feature film début...
Léon (Jean Reno) is a hitman—or 'cleaner'—living a lonely life in New York's Little Italy district. His assignments are provided by local Mafioso Tony (Danny Aiello), who operates out of the 'Supreme Macaroni Company' store. Léon spends much of his spare time training, nurturing a houseplant and attending screenings of old Gene Kelly musicals. Aside from Tony, Léon's only human interaction is with Mathilda (Natalie Portman), a twelve-year-old girl who lives with her dysfunctional family in a neighbouring apartment. One day, when Mathilda is at the grocery store, her entire family is murdered by corrupt DEA agents led by the drug-addicted Norman 'Stan' Stansfield (Gary Oldman). Upon returning home the terrified girl turns to Léon for sanctuary, which he reluctantly provides.
When Mathilda discovers that Léon is a hitman she begs him to instruct her in the ways of the 'cleaner', as she wants to avenge the murder of her four-year-old brother, the only member of her family that she truly loved. In return Mathilda offers her services as a maid and promises to teach him how to read. Léon cautiously accepts her offer and over time a strong an emotional bond develops between them, until their relationship is complicated when Mathilda admits that she is falling in love with him. When Léon discovers a note informing him of Mathilda's intentions to kill Stansfield he rushes to her aid, setting into motion a series of events that will set corrupt cop and hitman on a collision course.
In 1994 I was smack bang in the middle of what I like to call my 'pop culture' phase of cinema; that is to say I was obsessed with any film that had even tenuous links to Quentin Tarantino. Late eighties and early nineties cinema was giving way to a new breed of director, with films like Trainspotting proving that even the British could make 'cool' movies, and when I first saw the trailer for Léon it looked like it might gel with my newfound taste in films. I had never seen a Luc Besson film (or heard of Luc Besson for that matter), but I was a fan of some of Gary Oldman's work and his unsettling performance in the trailer was enough to convince me that I had to see it.
In these days of instantaneous communication it's very easy to forget that back in the nineties the good old UK was essentially months behind the US, and we we're usually drip-fed information about upcoming films on late-night TV programs (y'know, the ones hosted by Casey Kasem). It was for this reason that my anticipation for Léon was very high despite not really knowing too much about it, and I can distinctly remember waiting patiently for the home video release of the film so that I could find out whether my excitement was justified. I liked it immensely, and it swiftly established itself as one of my favourite films. Some years later, with the increasing presence of the Internet and the advent of DVD, I learned of a longer 'uncut' version of the film. Originally this was only available on Japanese DVD, but it eventually came to the US and offered a whole twenty-four minutes of additional footage. Needless to say I bought the extended version immediately.
The longer cut didn't go down too well with American test audience due to the perceived sexual undertones between Léon and Mathilda, but for me it's the only version of the film to see. The additional twenty-plus minutes greatly expanded the relationship between the two characters, which makes the emotional denouement all the more powerful. While Mathilda clumsily plays at seduction there is never any implication that Léon will abuse his position of trust, thanks largely to the way Jean Reno plays him as a man-child. It's true that the characters love each other, but the relationship ultimately takes more of a father/daughter turn than that of lovers. At its core the film is a tale about two people helping each other to see that life is worth living in spite of all the evil in the world, and I still find it immensely enjoyable fifteen years after its original release.
Optimum's release of Léon is presented at its 2.40:1 theatrical widescreen ratio (1080/24p ACV) . I flirted with buying the previously available German Steelbook release of the film, but the high price and rumours of a 'poor' transfer put me off. As with most Optimum releases this UK Blu-ray appears to utilise the same transfer as the German Kinowelt release (and the French Paramount effort come to that), which might comes as a disappointment for everyone who decided to hold off for the UK disc.
I guess I should start with the bad. Well, for once the Internet rumours are spot-on—there has definitely been some brightness and contrast boosting on this release. Now the old DVD releases had issues, but in trying to correct them the content makers have gone too far the other way. Brightness and contrast have been elevated to such an extent that they destroy detail in both light and dark areas. For example, on the DVD versions the choker worn by Mathilda has a clearly visible series of stripes on it, but on the BD they're all but invisible. The same goes for her white cardigan, which blooms to such an extent that the smaller holes become indistinct. As a result of this boosting the colour scheme is also noticeably different from previous versions, with certain scenes looking a little on the yellow side.
On the plus side the level of detail is streets ahead of the DVD, even with the blooming and crushing. Unfortunately the site lacks the ability to show rollover images of the DVD and BD, but take my word for it, the BD is far, far superior in this respect. Colours are also much bolder than before, although they do boarder on oversaturation at times, which could annoy those familiar with the film's rather muted original look. The edge halos that plagued the DVD releases are far less apparent here, and I didn't spot any particularly noticeable print damage either. Grain is ever-present, but again it's not detrimental to the viewing experience. There's also a smidge less information on all sides of the image compared to the DVD releases, but it's not really something that you'd notice during normal viewing.
Having written all of that I'm aware that it sounds quite negative, but that wasn't my intention. Even with the aforementioned issues the positives far outweigh the negatives, and this is still the best looking version of the film I've seen by a country mile. In fact, I really have no way of knowing if this is actually closer to the intended look of the film than the DVDs, as it seems to look more like the unit photography than the washed out region one discs. I guess what I'm saying is that it's not nearly as bad as I was led to believe, and I'd even go so far as to say that I was somewhat impressed.
Unlike the German release, which featured a DTS-HD High Resolution 7.1 soundtrack, the UK edition of Léon arrives with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. It's a solid if unspectacular offering, which focuses on delivering on the basics rather than surrounding the viewer with an abundance of effects. The surround channels are used throughout, but I don't remember any particularly noteworthy use of discrete effects as most of the action takes place at the front of the soundstage. The liveliest bits come during the various 'cleaning' missions, but even those aren't particularly dynamic when compared to the average 5.1 mix for a modern film.
Dialogue is exceptionally clear throughout, but bass is slightly uneven, providing slightly more oomph to a number of low-key scenes than necessary, but not nearly enough to the huge explosion near the end of the film. Eric Serra's score is one of my all-time favourites, up there with classics from the likes of John Williams and Ennio Morricone, and it is one of the strongest elements of the track. In fact the score accounts for the majority of the surround utilisation and is responsible for much of the film's atmosphere. All things considered this is a perfectly fine soundtrack that easily matches the quality of the previous DVD releases, but put it up against even the most pedestrian of today's 5.1 mixes and it will be found wanting. Admittedly that's not exactly a fair comparison, but if you're going to go to the trouble of remixing a soundtrack why not go all-out?
The disc's first and probably most exciting feature—at least for serious fans of the film—is the presence of the theatrical cut of the film presented in full 1080p with Master Audio sound. Now as stated above, I'm of the firm opinion that the extended version of the film is much better than the theatrical cut, but from a historical point of view having the theatrical cut on the disc is excellent news. If nothing else it allows people to view both versions of the film and make up their own minds about the impact of excising over twenty minutes of footage, but it also allows those who first saw the film in its theatrical incarnation to relive those memories.
10 Year Retrospective (25:09 SD): This featurette takes a look at what the cast of Léon (or The Professional as they insist on calling it) are up to ten years after the film's release. It includes interviews with most of the principal cast, the producer, the director of photography, costume designer, editor and bit players like Luc Besson's ex-fiancé. Topics of conversation include the origin of the script, casting for the role of Matilda, the moral questions surrounding the relationship between Léon and Matilda (which admittedly are only particularly relevant in the longer version), the performances, tales of the director's on-set persona, and shooting the effects scenes. Both Besson and Oldman are notable by their absence, but other than that this is a pretty interesting featurette.
Natalie Portman: Starting Young (13:49 SD): This is a dream featurette for all Natalie Portman fans, because the stunning actress occupies most of the runtime. Based on her clothing, the interview appears to have been conducted at the same time as the retrospective interviews and focuses on how Portman got the role (with audition footage), the parental conditions necessary for her participation, working with Reno and Oldman, dealing with the sexual aspects of the script, learning to handle firearms, the premiere, the importance of the film on her future career, and her willingness to do a sequel should Besson ever elect to write one.
Jean Reno: The Road to Léon (25:09 SD): This featurette examines Jean Reno's early life in Morocco, from his reminiscences about the sights and sounds of Casablanca, to his eventual drafting into French military service. It then touches on how he got his start in acting, his first meeting with Luc Besson, the trappings of success, how he got the part in Léon, his character, his relationship with Portman, his thoughts on being typecast, and his reaction to the fame that the film brought.
Trailer (01:48 SD): This is the film's theatrical trailer presented in non-anamorphic PAL widescreen with Dolby Digital 2.0 audio. It doesn't really do the film justice, but it made me want to see it when I was a teenager.
After an extended period away from the film I was delighted to find that Léon has stood the test of time. It remains a powerful and beautifully crafted piece of cinema with truly memorable performances from its three leads. It's hard to believe that this was Natalie Portman's first feature film, or that she was only twelve at the time of its release. She remains a very capable actress to this day, but unfortunately she's never really been given a character as memorable as Mathilda to showcase her talents. Reno is an actor of some gravitas who has been involved in some questionable American movies over the years. For every Léon and Ronin there's a Godzilla or The Pink Panther, but for me he will forever be the enigmatic cleaner. I can understand why some people are put off by the over-the-top, almost pantomime performance by Gary Oldman, but I enjoyed him in both The Fifth Element and Lost in Space, so I guess I'm a bit more forgiving than most.
In my opinion the Blu-ray's shortcomings have been the subject of the usual Internet hyperbole. I was expecting my enjoyment to be severely affected by the black crush and blooming, but if I didn't own the DVD I would probably have just accepted it as the film's intended look. It's certainly a big enough step up in every other department to warrant the upgrade to high definition. I was less impressed with the audio, but as I said above I'm probably being a little bit harsh because I was expecting more. There isn't much in the way of bonus material, but what little there is on the disc is fairly informative, certainly beyond the level attained by the usual EPKs that accompany films of a more recent vintage. If you're a fan I have no qualms about recommending this one with the above caveats—at least forewarned is forearmed.

Why would I tell you? You would then know, and maybe I don't want you to know … eh, I like dragons and fantasy books.
Three things you want to do before you die?
1. Take Japanese language classes for a few years then go there with no money and no plan and see if I can survive.
2. Save the world from global warming.
3. Tell everyone to not be so serious in life and to play more. Like play tag or hide and go seek.
What's the sketchiest thing you've ever done on a chairlift?
Well, I've never done anything sketchy really. But I do know once in Mammoth, Harrison pushed our friend Mac Spedale off the lift and he screamed like a little girl-it's a story they tell a lot.
One trick you wish you could do?
Switch straight airs in powder or maybe a backflip over fire.
One trick people should stop doing?
I don't think people should stop doing tricks. Tricks are for kids, and everyone has a little kid in them-not just prego ladies.
"Des is one of a kind-riding with her this season was like being awoken from a coma. Snowboarding needs more girls like this. She grew up riding with the boys and they didn't let her get away with half-assed tricks, and it shows every time she straps in. She doesn't pussyfoot around and is down to go for anything. She has more motivation to get shit done than I have ever seen in a chick, and when she makes it happen, she has more style than you could ask for. It comes naturally to her now from all the verbal beatings she took from her boy-dominated shred posse-they did her good." -Laura Hadar

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
Myrath - "Merciless Times"
MYRATH is a Metal band from Tunis-Tunisia, a small country well known for its resort areas on the Mediterranean coast but certainly not for its Metal bands, yet in just few years what started out as a teenager cover band became a well known and respected band by the international Prog-Power Metal community.
Much like their 4th full length studio album "Tales Of The Sands", the song "Merciless Times" reflects the highly chaotic times during which the band recorded their album: the Arab Spring. Imagine trying to record guitar parts while your other band mates are busy barricading the studio to protect it from the old regime militias trying to get in and the revolution raging outside the door... They say making Metal music requires courage, there is no doubt Myrath had a great dose of it struggling through all of this.
Shooting this video was no easy task either. The band relied almost exclusively on its own means, friends and extra talents. As it was shot in the desert, finding electricity was quite an adventure, especially when the first electrical installation crashed, the second one caught on fire as they were playing and almost electrocuted them when someone was about to throw water at the flames to try to extinguish the fire. Then came the epic of trying to find an electrician in the middle of the night, in the Tunisian desert, during the Ramadan… Long story short, what was supposed to last 2 hours ended up lasting all night long with no food available and closed with a flat tire on their way back home at 7 a.m. … Lesson learned: When you want to, you can.
As if this wasn't amazing enough, Myrath is now going to tour Europe with Orphaned Land from Israel. Dubbed "The tour to Or Shalem", this metal tour will celebrate friendship between Jews and Muslims and show the entire world what metal is really about: music and friendship.

When I saw this recipe, it moved right to the top of the list. I usually like my chili the way my parents always made it. I don't really have a recipe, I just know how it should taste. I've tried chicken chili before, but it just wasn't right. But this recipe had potential! I did adjust it a bit, adding some extra broth to thin it out and pouring in a can of diced tomatoes because, well, chili isn't chili for me without tomatoes. Next time I may throw in a jalapeno for a little extra kick, but overall this is a keeper. That's saying a lot considering I usually don't want beans anywhere close to my chili!
Turkey & White Bean Chili adapted from Skinny Taste
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- salt & pepper
- 1 onion, diced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 tsp chili powder, I went with a little more
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cans white northern beans, drained & rinsed
- 32 oz chicken broth, low sodium
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 4.5 oz can diced green chilis
- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
Serve with diced green onion, sour cream, chips...or whatever you usually like with your chili! Tomorrow night, we're having the leftovers with a little rice.

Incoming 1Ls / Re: T Minus 4 Weeks« on: July 21, 2012, 06:24:35 PM »
I think what you did is very smart! It's a great start to your law school career. I compare what you did to watching the movie before reading the book. If you watch the movie first, when the book gets kind of confusing, you'll get through it better than most since you kind of suspect what is going on. Also, sometimes the professor isn't very clear when lecturing and if they convolute things, most people may not understand the lecture, but you may just have enough background knowledge to get through it. SO.....you'll get through your readings faster, get more out of them and get more out of class! Good job! Like everyone else said, law school is a different experience for everyone, but I have tutored law school students for 15 years and a MUCH higher percentage of students would do better if they used their free time before law school started! Once school starts, you're on a timer and have a certain amount of weeks to learn. BEFORE the term starts, you have so much more free time. Good luck!

UVS Adding Translation Tool to Dealer Sites
May 24, 2011 by RVBusiness Comments Off on UVS Adding Translation Tool to Dealer Sites
UVS Junction, a supplier of RV dealer management software, has added a dynamic translation tool to dealer-member sites that will translate all content into one of the following languages: English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Polish, Russian, Greek, Italian and Japanese.
The translation buttons are located at the top of each of the client sites and each language is represented by that country's flag, according to a press release.
The tool will translate 95% of the content on dealer sites. UVS noted that due to the way some parts of the site function, 5% cannot be translated, including pop-up forms and the UVS homepage image rotator section.
Once a language is selected, the site will be translated and will remain in that language. As users switch from page to page, it will automatically translate into the selected language.
The language translation tool works on all mobile devices and the standard languages provided are the most prevalent. However, the company said it will work with clients seeking another language.
Every client site has a complete content translator. The UVS platform will translate all content including:
• Inventory
• Sidebar
• All general content
• Forms (with the exception of any forms that "pop up")
• Drop down menus
• Disclaimer (footer of your site)
• Pricing
• Phone numbers
• Location(s)
UVS-dealer members can now target the European and Canadian markets for rentals and sales. A visitor would simply select the flag that represents their language and everything will change. Content changes in real time with each new page request.

MACON, Ga. – Lipscomb senior Whitney Kiihnl has been named the Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Week for the week of March 26, the league office announced Monday.
Kiihnl went 4-0 over the weekend at the Mustang Classic in San Luis Obispo, Calif. The righty tossed three complete games for Lipscomb including a three-hit, four-strikeout performance in the first game against UNLV that gave head coach Kristin Ryman her 200th career victory.
She worked one and a third innings of scoreless relief pitching to pick up the win later that same day against Cal Poly, striking out two batters in the process.
Kiihnl went the distance against the Mustangs on the second day of the Classic, scattering five hits and three runs while striking out two for the victory.
The Batesville, Miss. native closed out the weekend with an 11-strikeout performance against Ball State, avenging an earlier Lady Bison loss to the Cardinals in the 3-1 victory. The victory gives her 17 this season, tops in the Atlantic Sun.
All told, Kiihnl allowed just two earned runs in 24.1 innings pitched for a microscopic 0.58 ERA. She struck out 22 and allowed opponents to hit just .165.
This is Kiihnl's 12th weekly award of her career and third for the 2012 season. She also won following her work at the Lady Bison Classic (March 12) and College of Charleston Classic (Feb. 26).
USC Upstate's Shellie Robinson took hitter of the week honors. Lipscomb junior Kelsey Cartwright was an honorable mention.

But how do you know when your little one is ready for a new food experience? And what should you be feeding him in the meantime to optimize his health? To aid in your food shopping and preparation, here's a guide organized by age group, along with some suggested menus for daily dining (see "Meals for a Day").
6 Months: The Experimental StageWhat to Feed
Baby's first solid food should be iron-fortified rice cereal mixed with enough breast milk or formula to create a liquid consistency, and fed with a spoon. Once he's accepted this, you can offer single-ingredient strained fruits and vegetables. Offer Baby about one-half of a teaspoonful of food at a time. At 7 to 9 months, you should add strained meats and poultry, and by 10 months, you can begin the transition to table food by offering teething biscuits for Baby to gum and mashed foods to introduce a little texture.
Making your own baby food is an option, but commercial baby food is safe and nutritious. Frank Greer, M.D., professor of pediatrics and nutritional sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition, points out that one advantage to jarred baby food is that it's preserved. "Home preparations are not sterilized, so moms have to be careful to wash everything very well," he says. "Also, homemade baby food can't be kept around very long. If it hasn't been eaten after two days, throw it out."
During this time, breast milk or formula should make up the bulk of Baby's diet, meeting most of his nutritional needs. Continue your regular feedings throughout the first year while you gradually ease solids into your child's meals.
What's Going on at This Stage
The introduction of solids is a social learning exercise for Baby. "Children want to be part of the family unit, and eating together is important," says Althea Zanecosky, R.D., American Dietetic Association spokesperson and mother of two. "Sit Baby in a high chair and pull it up to the table. Even if he rejects the food you're trying that day, you're teaching him that food is a social activity. He'll learn that this is the time we put away the toys and we're all together."
What to Watch Out For
When introducing new foods, it's important to watch for signs of food intolerance. Offer Baby a small amount of one new food for several days before moving onto the next. If Baby is allergic, you'll see a rash, vomiting, or extremely loose stools. And never give babies under 12 months highly allergenic foods like eggs, nuts, honey, and citrus fruits.
Experts also advise that you pay attention to Baby's signals of hunger and fullness. By 6 months of age, an infant will show his desire to eat by opening his mouth and leaning forward. When Baby turns his face or mouth away, he's telling you he's done eating for now.
12 Months: Expanding Culinary HorizonsWhat to Feed
By 1 year Baby should be comfortably eating table food. A good guideline at this age is to serve one tablespoon of each food -- prepared to a texture and size that is easily swallowed -- at each meal. As long as your child takes in a variety of healthful choices when he eats, consuming these amounts should meet his protein, energy, and vitamin needs.
Breastfeeding may continue at this age, but whole milk is a very important part of a 1-year-old diet as well. "Children under two need whole milk for brain, bone, and nervous system development," explains Greer. Don't be concerned about the fat content in whole milk -- babies need it. Focus instead on good eating habits overall. Don't offer too many fried foods or sweets that are high in fat, and give your tot nutritious snacks like fresh fruit or graham crackers. Offer 100 percent whole-wheat bread or whole grains instead of white bread.
What's Going on at This Stage
"Babies are learning about taste and texture, as taste buds and swallowing skills come together between 12 and 18 months," says Janice E. Stuff, Ph.D., R.D., of the USDA/Agricultural Research Service at the Children's Nutrition Research Center, in Houston. "So if your child rejects a certain food, try again later. Or, if she's pushing food around, it means she's had enough. Put her plate aside -- in an hour she may want it again."
Studies show that babies eat when they're hungry and don't eat when they're not. "Children have a wonderful ability to self-regulate," Zanecosky says. "You really have to listen to their cues. If they're not hungry, don't force them to eat, even if it's inconvenient for you. Bring portable food with you for them to eat later."
What to Watch Out For
If, like many kids, Baby rejects vegetables, you can substitute fruits, which have many of the same nutrients. For example, both zucchini and cantaloupe are good sources of vitamin A. Start with the zucchini on the plate but keep cantaloupe available as a backup.
18 Months: Try EverythingWhat to Feed
By a year and a half, toddlers are more adept at eating finger foods or using a spoon, but they still require supervision at mealtime. Serve table food cut in very small pieces, and avoid choking hazards like popcorn, hard candy, hot dogs, jelly beans, chunks of carrots, grapes, and raisins.
It's important not to rely on milk -- breast or otherwise -- as the sole source of key nutrients at this point. "Keep trying a variety of foods, using the major food groups as a guide," says Greer.
What's Going on at This Stage
At this age Baby will point, try to articulate a word for food, or bang his fists or a utensil on the high chair tray if he's still interested in eating. It's perfectly fine to offer more until your little one indicates he's had enough.
A food Baby rejected at 12 months might be acceptable to him at 18 months, and having family members as role models will encourage him to try new foods. If Baby sees his sister eating her vegetables, he'll try his, too.
What to Watch Out For
Your child isn't likely to eat the ideal balance of nutritious foods every day at this stage of life. What matters is that he meets these requirements over several days or even a week. If you feel he's not eating enough or have special concerns, speak to your pediatrician about whether vitamin drops or nutritional supplements are necessary.
Meals for a Day6 to 12 Months
½ to 1 tablespoon mashed banana, banana baby food, unsweetened applesauce, or puréed, well-cooked peaches or apricots, with iron-fortified rice cereal.
½ to 1 tablespoon chopped, well-cooked mashed vegetables with same amount of soft, well-cooked, mashed rice, pastina, or potatoes. Mashed, soft fruits can also be offered.
The same as lunch, except vary the color of the vegetable (if baby had carrots at lunch, for example, offer spinach at dinner). Around 8 to 9 months, offer jarred or puréed well-cooked meats.
Offer any or all of the following: 1 tablespoon of cooked hot cereal (puréed, not the coarser type); 1 tablespoon sliced soft fresh fruit; ¼ piece very soft French toast, cut into tiny pieces. Dry round oat cereal is good, too, but make sure Baby eats one piece at a time to avoid a choking hazard.
If Baby seems ready to try new foods, offer some soup (a purée is best at first). In addition, serve 1 tablespoon each of a soft, well-cooked starchy food, finely chopped baked chicken, and a fruit or vegetable, cut into very small pieces or mashed so that Baby can pick up and eat them.
Try 1 tablespoon well-cooked pasta with mild-flavored cheese (or the Tuna-Ricotta Tempter), and 1 tablespoon of a soft, well-cooked vegetable. Offer 1 tablespoon of fruit, pudding, custard, or yogurt for dessert.
¼ to ½ piece of whole-grain toast with a very small amount of butter, ¼ banana, and ½ of a scrambled egg.
1 ½ tablespoons of tuna salad with finely chopped onion and celery, whole-grain crackers or ¼ to ½ piece of whole-grain bread, and 1 ½ tablespoons of fruit-sweetened yogurt.
1 ½ tablespoons of Baby Shepherd's Pie (see recipe), 1½ tablespoons of a well-cooked and finely chopped vegetable, and 1 ½ tablespoons of a fresh fruit for dessert.
fresh fruit pieces, round oat cereal, graham crackers, or bite-sized whole-grain crackers.
The Tuna-Ricotta TempterThis yummy, high-protein, high-calcium dish has a creamy, almost soufflé-like texture, perfect for the 1-year-old palate. When your baby gets older and develops a taste for stronger flavors, substitute Asiago for the Parmesan cheese. Also, after Baby turns 2, use part-skim ricotta and reduced-fat sour cream to make the dish a little lighter.
1 10-oz. package frozen spinach
1 lb. whole-milk ricotta cheese
16 oz. sour cream
4 tbsp. flour
1¼ cups grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
2 6-oz. cans of tuna, finely flaked
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Defrost and heat spinach in small amount of water in saucepan; drain thoroughly. While spinach is warming, combine ricotta, sour cream, flour, 1 cup Parmesan or Asiago cheese, and tuna in large bowl.
2. Add eggs, drained spinach, salt, and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Coat 9 ½" by 5 ½" by 3" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan.
3. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup grated cheese evenly over top. Bake 55 minutes to an hour, until top is golden. Let cool slightly, slice and serve.
Baby Shepherd's PieThis casserole combines almost all of the food groups in one dish. Baby will love the different colors, textures, and flavors that are used here -- and at this age he will easily be able to chew all the ingredients. For a change of pace, mix a variety of meats together -- try ½ lb. ground beef, ½ lb. ground veal, and ½ lb. ground lamb or turkey.
Half a 22-oz. bag of frozen mashed potatoes
1 10-oz. package frozen carrots (cut in tiny chunks) and peas
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ lb. ground beef
½ cup Italian-flavored breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare potatoes according to package directions; set aside. Meanwhile, cook carrots and peas in boiling water. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
2. Warm olive oil in large heated skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes). Remove onion with slotted spoon; set aside. Add garlic to skillet and cook about 2 minutes. Crumble in ground beef; cook until browned. Drain off excess fat, and then mix in onions, carrots, and peas. Stir in breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat a 10-inch round casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the meat-vegetable mixture into dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over top of mixture. Bake until potatoes are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve.

TAUNTON — A Taunton police officer who was celebrated by colleagues and city residents for his contributions to the community died on Saturday, according to the police department.
Helvio "Al" Silveira, who helped found the Taunton Police Honor Guard and was known for training others, died after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 47.
"Patrolman Silveira served the citizens of Taunton and, for a time, Raynham honorably," Taunton police said in a statement released on Saturday. "He was also an instructor at the police academy and helped shape many police officers. All of us here at the police department mourn his loss and are keeping his loved ones and friends in our thoughts and prayers."
Silveira became a Taunton police officer in 1996 after working as a corrections officer for about 10 years. As a Taunton police officer, he helped found the department's honor guard, training its original members, volunteering to represent the city at various community events and eventually winning honor guard competitions.
Silveira also served in the Raynham Police Department.
A ceremony was held at Silveira's Taunton home in March, when Taunton police Chief Edward Walsh gave him an honorary promotion to sergeant, awarded him a badge of merit for his contributions to the Taunton Police Department and presented him a proclamation for fighting cancer.
