Breckenridge President Tim Howard Set to Retire
January 26, 2012 by Bob Ashley · Comments Off on Breckenridge President Tim Howard Set to Retire
Tim Howard, founder and president of Thor Industries Inc.'s Breckenridge Division, a recreational park trailer builder in Nappanee, Ind., will retire Feb. 1.
Howard announced his retirement Wednesday (Jan. 5) in an e-mail to about 150 friends and business associates.
"I've been in the industry since 1977 in one way or the other," Howard told RVBUSINESS.com. "It's wonderful to be able to go do things that I want to do. The industry has given me a wonderful 35 years and the opportunity to pursue other interests as I retire."
Breckenridge National Sales Manager Denise Walsh will become general manager and Vice President Junior Doty will become vice president of operations.
"Both have years of experience at Breckenridge and they are the best in the business," Howard said.
Howard, 57, founded Breckenridge in 1991 as a stand-alone division of Damon Corp. after a 10-year stint with Mallard Coach Corp. and shorter periods of employment with Coachmen Industries Inc. and Georgie Boy Manufacturing Inc.
At the time, Damon was owned by Don Pletcher, a well-known industry executive.
"The idea was to create an autonomous company within a company," Howard said. "They had their resources in place, which made the fundamentals of starting a new enterprise very smooth. They already had a design department, an accounting department and other things that helped us as a startup."
Breckenridge, currently with about 100 employees, down from a high of around 200, operated as a Damon division until after Damon was acquired by Thor in 2003 and functioned as a unit of Thor Motor Coach until a couple of years ago when it became part of Thor's Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc.
Howard, who sold his ownership stake in Breckenridge in 2003 when Thor purchased Damon, said he has no immediate plans in retirement other than to spend time with his wife, Judi, in their permanent home in Goshen, Ind., and summer home in St. Joseph, Mich.
"I have been involved in the community and local church and I want to pick and choose what I do," Howard said.
He hasn't ruled out a return to the RV industry. "It could be fun helping some friends in the industry if they needed help," he said. "I would be interested if it would be fun."
Acknowledging that the park trailer sector currently "is not thriving," Howard said that he delayed retirement longer than he might have because he didn't want to leave Breckenridge in the lurch in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
"I've planned for a long time for this stage of my life," he said. "I didn't want to retire when the industry was facing a full-blown hurricane. I chose this time to retire because the trajectory of the park model industry right now is very, very good. Everything is going in the right direction."

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

Corsair Vengeance 2000 Headset Review
When I hear the name Corsair, I think of high quality cases and peripherals. To me, Corsair has a reputation of releasing high quality products at reasonable price points. Specifically, Corsair's Vengeance line of products has focused completely on satisfying the needs of gamers serious about having the right tools for the job. Today, I'll be taking a look at its newest high-end wireless gaming headset, the Corsair Vengeance 2000. Being encumbered by a wired headset in the past hasn't bothered me too much, but I'm certainly game to see how the freedom of a wireless headset can affect my gaming sessions. I'm certainly looking forward to being able to get up from my computer without having to miss any in-game chatting or dialogue in movies when I need a beverage refill.
Now I'm going to be honest up front here; I'm very critical about sound quality and I've found most gaming headsets I've tried in the past to be somewhat lacking in the accuracy department (loud bass alone is not going to impress me). Corsair has designed this headset with sound quality as one key design point, so here's to hoping it's been done right!
Closer Look:
Taking a look at the packaging, it's quite clear that we're looking at a headset. There is a large window on the right side of the box that shows off the headset itself and also a small window towards the center of the front, showing off the wireless USB adapter. The front of the box boasts about a few of the features – namely its wireless capability, large 50 mm audio drivers, HRTF positional processing, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also mentions that this is a 7.1 headset, though it's not entirely true, as we'll see in a bit. The rear of the box lists more features in a few languages. The left side of the box has a full specifications list in several languages as well.
The top of the box is quite plain with only a single plastic hanger for retail display. The bottom of the box lists what you should get in the box itself (again, in a few additional languages)…so let's open this thing up!
Opening up the box reveals the headset itself, the wireless USB adapter, the 5-foot USB extension base for the wireless adapter, the charging cable, and the product manual and registration. There is no included driver disc, though if you are running an up-to-date copy of Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should have no issues simply plugging in the adapter and gaming away. Corsair, of course, suggests installing its own software to enhance your listening experience. You can grab this software from its website (it's a quick download).
The headset itself comes packed in a recycled black cardboard holder with the wireless USB adapter wedged in the middle. It's quite secure, so I doubt your local UPS or FedEx drivers will be able to damage anything in shipping. Move on to the next page to see the Corsair Vengeance 2000 in all its glory!

Steamed cod is accented with Asian flavors
During the past 100 years we witnessed an astonishing transformation in the way we eat. The scientific discoveries of refined foods and preservatives have certainly made it very convenient for us to load up on canned foods, white flour and sugary substances such as cookies and ice cream. The result has been a widespread epidemic spiraling out of control in what is known as modern illnesses which range from cancer to diabetes to heart disease and so forth.
The truth is, "We are what we eat!" The human body is designed to heal itself whenever there is an ailment with it. The brain is the ultimate healer and at the basis of which is a networking system made of millions of fine nerves. These nerves are channeled down the spine reaching the minutest parts of our bodies. The nervous system is very intricate and its main function is to communicate and report to the brain the status quo of the whole body. Once an issue is detected, the brain then gives orders to the healing squad (hemoglobin, white cells, etc) to fix the problem.
However, the years of consuming processed foods loaded with chemicals have altered the original terrain in which the brain and the nervous system work cohesively. This newly altered terrain has made it harder for the nervous system to function effectively. What we eat plays an incredible role in creating an environment that promotes either good health or what many of us know only too well: disease.
Processed foods are loaded with preservatives and additives which make them highly acidic. Unlike their counterpart, alkaline foods, acidic foods were proven to be the culprit in creating environments that encourage diseases to flourish!
Foods fall into two categories: acidic or base. It is their pH content (potential hydrogen) that determines which category they belong in. A neutral (down in the middle) food has a pH 7. The lower the number, the more acidic the food is and therefore, the less healthy they are for you. Base foods, also known as alkaline foods, range from 7 to 14, 14 being the highest in alkalinity and the healthier for you.
Independent researchers such as Dr. Robert O. Young and Anthony Robbins have proven that good health starts at the cellular level. It is the enormous amounts of acidic foods eaten day in and day out tale a toll on the human body cells and cause an imbalance in our overall health. A sound body must cherish nutrition coming from alkaline food sources.
A culinary lifestyle that relies on alkaline foods sources will create a terrain that is difficult for diseases to thrive in. A healthy terrain remains disease free as long as we maintain that level of alkalinity where no disease can live!
Below is a list of some of the most commonly known high alkaline food products:
Buttermilk, green/herbal tea, raw coconut oil, flax seed oil, olive oil, sesame oil, avocados, sour cherries, raw coconuts, figs raw or dry, lemons, limes, tomatoes, buck wheat, soy flour, lentils, lima beans, soy nuts, fresh soy beans, spelt, tofu, white beans, almond, almond butter, pine nuts raw, carrots, red beets, kohlrabi, radishes, potatoes, rutabaga, black radishes, turnips, yams, sweet potatoes, caraway seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, alfalfa sprouts, artichokes, asparagus, eggplants, barley grass, basil, all colored bell peppers, Bok Choy, Brussels sprouts, cabbage all kinds, lettuces all kinds, cauliflower, cayenne pepper, cilantro, celery, chives, cucumbers, dandelion greens, endives, fresh green beans, garlic, ginger, jicama, kale all kinds, leeks, oregano, onions, mustard greens, turnip greens, parsnips, peas, pumpkin, rhubarb, seaweed, sorrel, spinach, any sprouted seeds, all kinds of squash, thyme, and watercress.
Today, I created for you a healthy lifestyle dish that is loaded with highly alkaline ingredients that even appeal to fussy palates.

Life-long learning is essential for individuals at all levels to remain relevant in today's fast-paced environment. Faced with constant challenges, changing technologies, and a fluid environment, executives especially must continue to broaden their perspectives and strive for continual professional executive development. Executives must specifically strengthen and reinforce their Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs), skills, and knowledge to make informed decisions and devise new innovative solutions to the complex challenges they continuously encounter.
Federal agencies often perceive resource constraints (including both time and funding) as barriers to their ability to support professional development. Irrespective of actual or perceived resource limitations, however, the Federal Government will be better served by equipping its executives with the knowledge and capabilities required to meet the leadership demands of the 21st century. By strategically prioritizing executive development, Federal agencies will maximize executive leadership effectiveness and potential, as well as significant organizational outcomes, while preparing the leadership corps for future challenges.
The Executive Development Plan (EDP) is a key tool in assisting executives in their continued development. EDPs should outline the short-term and long-term developmental activities that will enhance an executive's performance. These activities should meet organizational needs for Leadership, Managerial Improvement, and Results. EDPs should be reviewed annually and revised as appropriate by an Executive Resources Board (or similar governing body designated by the agency to oversee executive development).
The 2008 Survey of Senior Executives indicated that many executives felt their training and developmental needs were not being met by their agency. Over one third of the executives surveyed indicated they had never taken advantage of the activities commonly used for developing executives (e.g. 360 degree assessments, details, mentoring, coaching, residential programs, etc.). The article, Three Barriers to Owning your Leadership Development, presents an interesting way of thinking about these barriers and some possible solutions.
Federal agencies are required by law (5 U.S.C. 3396) to establish programs for the continuing development of senior executives. SES members are required to prepare, implement, and regularly update an EDP as specified by 5 CFR 412.401.

Could one say with certainly: "Everything in the universe/multiverse that can be rationally defined has already been rationally defined. There is nothing else." ?
Nope. But one certainly could say that something that is defined irrationally is irrationally defined.
Perhaps I could pursue the issue and seek out arguments that aim to define god rationally, and others that aim to prove that it's impossible to define god rationally. I would also have to sharpen my intellectual tools to evaluate the arguments and satisfy myself that I know enough about the issue to say "I know".
"Supernatural" is an easy place to start. "Outside of nature" is an irrational concept.
Going by the etymology it's pretty simple. An atheist is simply "without god", whatever the reason. In common usage, to describe oneself as an atheist tends to be a strong statement - hence my use of the word "emphatic".
There's no connection between "emphatic" and "without". There's plenty of socialization baggage that suggests there is in this particular case, but "without" is pretty simple and straightforward and requires no caveats or modifications. So "emphatically without" doesn't follow. It works, of course (you can certainly be emphatically without and still be without), but it's about as pertinent as, say, gender or nationality. It's an arbitrary add-on. "Without" is sufficient, and since we're talking about the definition of a term, adding impertinent baggage is counterproductive. Definitions are minimum attribute descriptions. That's why when there are pertinent but not necessary conditions for different usages of a word, we have different usages and different definitions. Each is a minimum attribute description for a given use of a given term.
Being a linguist by training I tend to come at these things from an etymological angle.
To my knowledge, both words are from Greek and both start with "a", the familiar prefix meaning "without".
Theos is god, so the modernist coining "atheist" means "without God" = having no god.
Gnos comes from the Greek ????? (gnosi) and is about knowing, so "agnostic" means "without knowing" = don't know.
Bearing in mind that in science, nothing is definitively known, it is just not disproven, then I would have thought that agnostic is the scientific position. One cannot prove the existence of god, nor disprove it. Hence a person wanting to take a strictly scientific position would be agnostic.
On the other hand, a person who emphatically chooses to live without god is an atheist.
Atheism does not have one meaning to be adhered to with strictness. Etymology and definition remain closely intertwined in the case of atheism and I think the ancient use of the word still applies today, but other meanings of the word are also in use according to modern dictionaries. For some, atheism implies a fighting spirit (ancient meaning), and for others it simply means lack of theism without any implied struggle or emotion (modern meaning).

Yeah, it seems the biggest issue with the term atheism/atheist is the bullshit social baggage from which it's never been free. Most believers seem to want to force it into a comfortable box. Many refuse to admit a definition that allows the term to be used to describe a rational position on the matter, thus, in their minds apparently, eliminating the potential for rational rejection of the god hypothesis. Others simply see if as irrational or deviant and their understanding of the term is derived from that notion. Most are at least somewhat hostile to the idea in any case, and the term's popular usage reflects this, compromising the utility of the applied language, unfortunately.
So we inherit all that angst and confusion and denial, basically, in the term that describes us and that largely defines us, since it sets us apart from ~95% of the rest of the population (at least here in the US). This is why such a simple issue as how individuals use a term is so contentious. We can use other terms in slightly or even fairly significantly different ways and, if any issue even arises, it's usually quickly negotiated and we drive on, but for some terms it doesn't work that way, and atheism/atheist is one of the biggest sticklers.
Too much baggage/investment ... bottom line.
Are there any words we use that don't come with social baggage?
Isn't "social baggage" another way of referring to the meaning that a word has when used in a given social context?
From experience, I have found that learning foreign languages also involves learning the culture (and hence social baggage) of the language.
Sooner or later communities and cultures more or less agree on what particular words mean - until somebody comes along and subverts the meaning (cool, gay, Bright etc.)

You're right, technically, but the social "baggage" connected to all applied usages of words like green or peach or sweet, or even fear is rather clear and more or less non-controversial as compared to those of atheism/atheist, or patriotic, or good and evil, for some obvious examples. It's enough of a difference to warrant the categorical distinction controversial vs. non-controversial.
That's kind of like preparing to make a map by leveling out the terrain—removing everything that allowed for far easier reckoning/navigation—stripping the linguistic landscape of any landmarks or features other than that of a flat plane—pretty much the opposite approach to what would be productive in this case.
I guess words that are associated with more emotionally charged domains of experience are bound to be more controversial.
To take an example from an area that's emotionally neutral for most people, I have a particular love of Baroque and Early music and I'm not so keen at all on the Classical and Romantic periods, with odd exceptions. Even so, as far as most people are concerned, what I listen to is "classical" music, and that ticks me off because it's wrong. However it's no use saying anything to most people, because they don't perceive a significant difference between a piece of Bach keyboard music and a piece of Beethoven - it's all "classical".
In fact "classical" is used as an umbrealla term for most music that's scored and played by trained musicians. I've even heard film scores played by orchestras referred to as "classical" !
It seems to me that most words in common parlance are vague approximations that serve the function of communicating meaning in a "good enough" way within the prevailing discourse. Any attempt to define the meaning of common words more precisely and to prescribe specific usage is bound to be caught between learned disputation (as here) and common application, with baggage.
People with a particular interest in specific fields may argue that certain words be used in a strict way (classical, atheist etc.) but the argument is unlikely to make a whit of difference to people who disagree with them, or who are not interested in the field.
agnostic or atheist?
Both. I do not know, maybe I can never know, and so I do not believe.
Rhyfelur said,
Nothing can exist as "supernatural", if it exists, then it is natural.
I don't know everything. I know no one else knows everything. And i don't believe in any 'supernatural' being. Therefor, i'm an agnostic non-believer.
I'm just sick and tired of the blow-hards who keep insisting that anyone who has the intellectual honesty to call themselves agnostic, and the wit to call bullshit on anyone who claims to 'know' the complete nature of the universe, somehow falls into the 'wishes fairies really existed' category. Get the f- over yourself because it just ain't so.
Now I don't remember who made this point, Maybe Dan Barker, but it's stuck with me.
Agnosticism is "not knowing,"
Atheism is "not believing"
They are very different. One is simply an admission. The other is a position.
That is certainly my position as well.
The attempt to redefine Atheism to cover all non-belief is a fairly recent development, theological noncognitivism is an honorable position, or, to the extent that it isn't that is up for the individual to grapple with - at least it shows some effort.
It is interesting that it is exactly with the late 90's 'discussion' between Theodore Drange and Michael Martin that both the recasting of Atheism and the coining of non-cognitivism came to be: see Atheism, Agnosticism, Noncognitivism (1998) which also happens to deal with the 'appeal to etymology' tack.
In any case, Richard Dawkins' opinion on what agnosticism is or isn't matters like creationist's opinion on fossils.
I take Hitchens's side on this, where I think 'Agnostic' doesn't carry much weight as a stand-alone term anymore. Since any claim of knowledge (whether for God's existence or non-existence) is silly, the only intellectually honest position is belief that falls short of certainty. For both sides of the debate, "Agnostic" should go without saying.
For both sides of the debate, "Agnostic" should go without saying.
Sadly I think that this is entirely too generous. There are plenty of people across an array of positions who believe that they represent a "justified true belief" when they are actually representing a "true believer".
You really think that people who drone on about flying spaghetti monsters and pink unicorns are going "well… you know.."
I would weigh Hitchens even lower than Dawkins when it comes to unclouded appraisals of what agnosticism is or isn't - remember, this is the guy who prefers to be called an antitheist - presumably well aware of its 1993 roots.
Oh, I wasn't suggesting that there aren't people on both sides of the debate that like to claim they "know" there is/isn't a God. I'm saying that as a matter of intellectual honesty, neither side can claim this. So for the people willing to dismiss certitude on this question, calling yourself an Agnostic isn't really saying anything.
For terms like 'Agnostic Atheist' or 'Agnostic Theist,' the term has some added utility, but only as a matter of comparison with the Gnostic Atheists/Theists, when we're willing to let them into the game.
I'm an atheist. When I feel feisty, I call my fellow atheists agnostic. :D
It is not a matter of intellectual honesty, it is a matter of tolerance and compassion. I have no reason to be tolerant because I know what "god" is in human terms. Let me ask you a question: Do you know of "god" that is not defined in human terms?
There is but one. Uncertainty. The foundation of quantum mechanics. So to be agnostic about the functioning of the universe is to state truth; to be agnostic about the functioning of human institutions is to state tolerant compassion and nothing more.
Tolerance is an engineering term. It is good to practice, like an engineer; but to be tolerant is to have a foundation of air.
Interesting question. I suppose I consider myself an atheist in regards to all mythology, including Hebrew mythology. I do have some nagging questions however about things like consciousness, (even Sam Harris puts that under the category of "miraculous"), intelligence, and their relationship to matter.
I could be wrong, but I see three logical possibilities. Matter begat intelligence, intelligence begat matter, or, both have always coexisted. I can get my head around life coming from matter, but life is not intelligence. Intelligence is the grand manipulator of matter in ways that could never happen without it. For example, I seriously doubt you could find plastic anywhere in the cosmos without also discovering it was just matter manipulated by intelligence. Because of the lopsided relationship intelligence and matter have, I find it very difficult to believe that intelligence is somehow a side effect of matter combining in some mysterious way.
I have no problem believing in the possibility of a greater, older, more advanced intelligence then ourselves. It's actually a short leap when I think about trees that are thousands of years old. It also seems quite possible that if there is an existence after physical death, it might possibly consist of consciousnesses and intelligence. Are we a part of a greater, universal intelligence? Arthur C. Clarke explored this question in his fiction, (2001 A Space Odyssey, is an excellent example).
Is there a "God"... I don't know, and I'm not sure it even matters, but I cannot for sure say there isn't.
I am atheist 100%, there is no doubt about it.

Does Re-Imagining Lord Of The Rings From The Perspective Of Mordor Violate Tolkien's Copyrights?
from the will-we-find-out? dept
In Yeskov's retelling, the wizard Gandalf is a war-monger intent on crushing the scientific and technological initiative of Mordor and its southern allies because science "destroys the harmony of the world and dries up the souls of men!" He's in cahoots with the elves, who aim to become "masters of the world," and turn Middle-earth into a "bad copy" of their magical homeland across the sea. Barad-dur, also known as the Dark Tower and Sauron's citadel, is, by contrast, described as "that amazing city of alchemists and poets, mechanics and astronomers, philosophers and physicians, the heart of the only civilization in Middle-earth to bet on rational knowledge and bravely pitch its barely adolescent technology against ancient magic."Sounds fascinating.
Of course, it also raises some copyright questions. The Tolkien estate is notoriously over-protective of Tolkien's copyrights, and while the Salon review brushes over the copyright issues, it appears that there's some stirring among Tolkien rightsholders to potentially go after this book. If they do so, they may run into trouble. The scenario seems remarkably similar to the case of The Wind Done Gone, a retelling of Gone With The Wind from the perspective of a slave in the original work. That book went through a big legal dispute and was eventually seen as legal, though the case was settled, rather than leading all the way to a full ruling on the topic.
In an era of growing "fan fiction," which can often go quite beyond the bounds of the stereotypical "fan fiction," this issue is going to become more and more important, and it's about time that the courts made it clear that such rewrites are perfectly legal reimaginings that do not violate anyone's copyright.

Jodorowsky's Dune (US - BD RA)
Gabe explores the wonders of the best science fiction film never made...
Chilean surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's unmade feature version of Frank Herbert's Dune sits atop a holy mountain (Jodorowsky pun intended) of the best motion pictures never made. It is a legend among legends and its pre-production set forth ripples that helped inspire a number of influential sci-fi, fantasy, and horror films. The sordid story of Jodorowsky's ambitious failure has begged retelling in books, essays, editorials, and audio commentaries. The subject has been included as part of documentaries about other films – fully completed ones ( Alien and Star Wars, in particular) – but was left unexplored in terms of a stand-alone, tell-all feature documentary for far too long. I, like many fans of the story, assumed it would've appeared as part of a special edition DVD/Blu-ray release of David Lynch's Dune (itself an extension of Jodorowsky's efforts as well as a second chapter in the saga). Instead, director Frank Pavich's film, appropriately titled Jodorowsky's Dune, was given a theatrical and DVD/Blu-ray release via a major movie studio, Sony (under their Sony Picture Classics label).
If I may be permitted to geek-out a bit, I find the very existence of Jodorowsky's Dune a dream come true. Generally speaking, I'm fond enough of behind-the-scenes documentaries that I don't have the a strict critical stance on any of them. I've happily sat through Daniel Farrands & Andrew Kasch's epic explorations of the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series more than once and have built a steadfast tolerance for even the fluffiest made-for-TV exposé. But stories of failed or nearly failed films are always the best. Even low-energy, talking heads-driven, just-the-facts productions (like the ones that usually end up on DVDs and Blu-rays) can be moving, Shakespearian tragedies if the story itself is interesting. Pavich could've rested on the strength of his story – it's not well known outside of movie nerd circles and even those of us that know it have a strong desire to hear it again via the participants' own words.
Fortunately for those of us with simple expectations, Pavich isn't interested in the easy road and Jodorowsky's Dune is a structurally smart and stylistically dynamic documentary. Without challenging his audience on the same pseudo-experimental and subversive level as Rodney Ascher's Room 237, Pavich creates a tone poem of a film worthy of the subject matter. Jodorowsky's intense, lofty intellectual goals are intoxicating, but he's never too far from an adorable, humbling moment, like when he admits he just chose Dune on a whim – without having actually read Herbert's book – or when he has a thought interrupted by a needy Siamese cat. The film moves at an intense clip, flitting between interviews, behind-the-scenes photographs, tastefully animated versions of Mœbius storyboards, and images of Chris Foss/H. R. Giger's designs. The pace helps maintain focus and epitomizes Jodorowsky's hectic and instinctive pre-production process. Pavich and editors Paul Docherty & Alex Ricciardi's structural choices appear hasty, but the film is organically designed to unveil a relatively straightforward narrative that covers the doomed production in chronological order. It's a deceptively and pleasingly conventional documentary in the end. Jodorowsky's Dune is also a worthy celebration of the director's work in general, but is only a primer in this regard, which, in my own selfish way, I find a little disappointing. Ideally, these 88 minutes would've occupied a smaller part in an epic retrospective of his entire oeuvre.
This 1.78:1, 1080p transfer is relatively consistent in terms of clarity and detail, but, like many documentaries, is at the mercy of the quality of its footage. Without finding verification of video specs, I assume that the interviews were shot using digital HD cameras. The discrepancies in brightness actually encapsulate the personalities of many of the participants (for example, the Jodorowsky interviews are shot with punchy, sun-baked backlight while the Richard Stanley interviews are lit artificially and sort of depressing). Even with the minor differences, details are perpetually tight, colours are constantly rich, and most image elements are well-separated without any notable compression noise or edge haloes. Footage from the director's other films is presented in the best possible quality, which means El Topo and Holy Mountain are full 1080p (though Fando y Liz isn't even anamorphically enhanced). Other film footage, like Touch of Evil and Star Wars, is usually presented in HD as well, except samples of older television footage, which are presented at fuzzy broadcast resolution. The still art and animated footage is vivid and super-colourful with sharp edges and subtle, natural paper textures.
Most non-nature documentaries don't really have much of a stereo or surround enhancement, outside of maybe some expository images, but such aural stillness wouldn't serve Jodorowsky's Dune. This 5.1, DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack actually matches the ambition of many fictional films with respect to Jodorowsky's spacey, hallucinatory vision. There aren't, however, many sound effects to fill-out the side and rear channel speakers and the interview dialogue remains consistently centered throughout the film. Pavich depends on first-time feature composer Kurt Stenzel's score to create an immersive, directionally-enhanced soundtrack. This swirling and resonant keyboard music beautifully encapsulates the '70s/'80s electronic chic that would've likely accompanied the unmade film (i.e. Pink Floyd and Magma) and includes some deep, warm LFE enhancement. The track scores a few extra points for effectively, but not vulgarly, remixing the music and effects from Jodorowsky's other films into 5.1.
I was hoping that five or six more hours of documentary about Jodorowsky's other films was hidden here somewhere, but, alas, I'll have to settle for nine deleted/extended scenes that equate about half a movie in their own right (46:20, HD, no subtitles):
- A Nice Killing
- Costumes of Dune
- Frank Herbert's Novel
- Jodorowsky and Seydoux Reunited
- Jodorowsky on Dune's Length
- Jodorowsky on Hollywood
- Jodorowsky's Film Philosophy
- Seydoux on Dino De Laurentiis
- The Conception of Alia
Trailers and trailers for other Sony releases are also included.
I doubt Jodorowsky's Dune has any realistic chance at the Oscars next year, despite its uplifting final message about the power of creativity, but suspect it will find its audience on home video. Hopefully, any success it finds will lead to more in-depth, stand-alone documentaries on other famous failed film projects (I hear that the Kickstarter Superman Lives documentary has met its goal). Sony's Blu-ray looks as good as expected and features a surprisingly immersive DTS-HD MA soundtrack. The extras look deceptively brief when listed on the back cover, but the deleted scenes are pretty extensive. If only they all had English subtitles…
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

Jodorowsky + Giger + Pink Floyd - really a mind-boggling combination! Pity it wasn't meant to be.
With respect to movie that never were, the book 'Development Hell' is a really nice read.

The Greatest Science Fiction Movies Never Made is great too. I'm reading John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood right now. It's a little overly wordy and leans a little hard on internet forums as something that can ruin a movie, but is still pretty interesting. I think it's still a free Kindle download.

Nonresident Alien Tax
All citizens or residents of another country living, visiting, working, or studying in the U.S. are responsible for compliance with United States laws and regulations.
Under federal law, employers such as universities are responsible for various nonresident alien program requirements. In the CSU Technical Letter HR/Salary 2003-7, issued August 18, 2003, the CSU affirmed that:
Regulations and reporting requirements applicable to individuals with nonresident alien tax status are numerous and complex. Campuses are responsible for ensuring nonresident alien tax compliance requirements are met, regardless of how a payment is generated. In addition to wages and other forms of compensation paid through the state payroll system, other payment sources such as for scholarships, fellowships, consultant payments, prizes, awards, speaker fees, royalties and commissions, are affected.
Payments to Non citizens
The most frequent payee issues regarding payments to non citizens are briefly described as follows.
All citizen and non-citizen employees of the University are signed up by Human Services and must provide documentation that demonstrate identity and eligibility to work in the United States to meet legal requirements of the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986.
Independent Contractors, Performers, Scholars, etc.
It is assumed that such non-citizen persons are on campus only for a short duration. The respective campus department must forward copies of the 204 Form Vendor/Payee Data Record and the Foreign National Data Collection Form to the Internal Auditor for review prior to the hiring of such persons. Completion of the Foreign National Data Collection Form is used to help determine the residency status of a potential payee, and possible Federal and State income tax withholding rates. Additional documentation may be necessary to complete the process before payment can be authorized.

A father's love for his troubled daughter may be the only thing that can save her in this drama from writer and director Pupi Avanti. It's 1938, Benito Mussolini is the fascist ruler of Italy, and Michele (Silvio Orlando) is a high school teacher living in Bologna.
Michele and his wife Delia (Francesca Neri) have a teenage daughter Giovanna (Alba Rohrwacher), and Giovanna is the most important thing in Michele's life -- so much so that Delia often finds herself wishing her husband was as devoted to her as he is to their child.
As much as Michele indulges her, Giovanna is an unstable and disturbed young woman, and one day in a fit of anger Giovanna murders one of her friends.
Sergio (Ezio Greggio), Michele and Delia's next door neighbor, is a police officer who uses his authority to help his friends, and he's fond enough of Delia to see that her family is well cared for, but Giovanna's crime is too severe for him to be able to help, and while the courts spare the girl's life, she's sent to a mental hospital where she receives only the most minimal care.
Michele stands by Giovanna and tends to her in the hospital, leaving Delia at home to look after their home with the help of Sergio. Il Papa di Giovanna (aka Giovanna's Father) was an official selection at the 2008 Venice Film Festival.

Do feel free to correct any spelling or grammar mistakes in this page (I know they are out there, I just don't know where)
Was born in Boston during my father's studies at MIT. I don't have many memories from the U.S. since my parents decided to go back to Israel when I was two months old. I got the citizenship though. Most of my childhood was in Rehovot. A very nice and peaceful town a bit south of Tel-Aviv.
At the age of twenty one, I went on a trip to central America. I didn't mean it to last so long but eventually I traveled for a year and a half. In one particularly charming place, named, I spent four months learning.
I've studied for my first degree in computer science at the Ben Gurion University in Beer-Sheeva, Israel. Those were probably the best years of my life. The university might not be one of the leading research institutes in Israel but it is a great place to study in. Very open minded and with a rich social life. I suspect that it will be a leading university in the future. After finishing my first degree, I continued for a second degree in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This was much less fun. I don't know if it is because of the university or because it was not a first degree anymore. Instead of completing my second degree I continued to a direct path to third degree. After about 5 years of research, I found out that the major idea of my thesis was already developed elsewhere (a very talented Chinese professor). I decided not to continue my research (also because I didn't really liked the research atmosphere in the university) and to submit my work as a thesis to a second degree. You can have a look at my thesis here.
During my research, I made my living as a programming teacher for first degree students. You can see three examples here, here and here (mostly in Hebrew). I was surprised to find out how much I enjoy teaching. In spite of that fact, when I stopped my research, I decided that being a teacher without any development of my own, is not a good path to choose.

Hina-matsuri is Girl's Day in Japan, and is celebrated on March 3rd.
In this MOC, a family gathers to celebrate the day with the pounding of mochi (rice cakes) in the traditional style - hammering it inside a large stone bowl. For those who have never seen this before, one person wets their hands and reaches into the bowl between hammer blows to fold the mochi over - timing is crucial! Everyone else helps to roll the mochi into smaller pieces.
A hina-ningyo doll is on display inside the house, along with something else... Don't forget to enjoy the cherry blossoms!

Struggling with the desire to race competitively and thought I would seek input from some of you:
A little background - I started riding road about 4 years ago, raced as a Cat 4/5 in 2009, upgraded at the end of the year and had a mediocre season last year as a 3. This year has been the same, no good results and nothing spectacular happening in races. My training is pretty solid - I use an SRM, have a coach, use training peaks, and loosely follow a periodization plan (Friel) - I eat pretty well (vegan, of course) and have enough time to train. Family and friends are supportive and my gear is good. All of those boxes can be checked.
The issue is mindset, drive, passion, whatever you want to call it. Riding generally comes easy - I enjoy getting on the bike, but racing seems to cause anxiety, stress, and isn't motivating like it used to be. My first season was much more extraordinary in that sense where I greatly anticipated races, raced hard, and often placed in the top ten (as a 4, however). Many times during last year and during this season, the motivation to actually race: both the effort of getting there, spending the money, and the actual effort of racing (i.e. prolonged anaerobic activity) just isn't as pervasive. I am tempted to call it "burn out" but that seems to generalize it too much. Sometimes I feel as if it's not "important" to race, though the amount of time I put into training (riding, eat, planning, traveling) all points to racing being supremely important.
Most say I'm a "strong rider" and my numbers are good, yet my desire to "go hard" arises more during our weekly training rides (where all the racers come out and go quite hard) than during a race I've driven two hours and paid money to be in. I know there are a lot of factors that go into one's performance in a race, but I tend to think my limiter is in my head at this point. The feeling is hard to quantify, but seems to revolve somewhere around apathy, dread, or just simple disinterest. This contrasts with my desire to be fit, have camaraderie, and ride hard - three things which I do genuinely enjoy, at the right time.
Have any of you experienced periods like this, or can you relate to these feelings? What did you do to overcome, or does a chronic disinterest signal the time for a serious change?

Hey David, one of the better intros I've seen, so many other articles just run through all the "pieces", but you actually introduce in an order that should make it more easily understandable to newbies.
One note that might be helpful for any card-flippers out there: -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; does not yet work in Chrome, even though it does work in Chrome's WebKit-cousin, Safari…
To get around this, I placed the card back at 90deg, 0-opacity, then applied a delay on the back transition so that the front would start to flip, and when it got half-way, I started the back transition. It worked really well.
Thanks again,

Shirtless Man of the Week: Philip Winchester of 'Camelot'
When Philip Winchester wins a TV or movie role, he throws himself into it--mentally, emotionally and, much to delight of fans, physically. When he played Robinson Crusoe in NBC's "Crusoe," he did an "island workout" using what was available on the South African location of the series. For Starz "Camelot," in which he plays King Arthur's champion, Leontes, he and his co-stars did a "knight workout" created by "a really old-school personal trainer named Pat Henry," Winchester told me recently. Works for me. Readers, say hello to the latest Shirtless Man of the Week. Curt Wagner, RedEye's Show Patrol Philip Winchester talks "Camelot," Leontes & Va Va Voom Sarah Chalke rates Philip Winchester's kisses.

When Tiffany Mitchell and the South Carolina Gamecocks found themselves down by double digits early in their road game at Auburn, they did not panic.
AUBURN, Ala. — When Tiffany Mitchell and the South Carolina Gamecocks found themselves down by double digits early in their road game at Auburn, they did not panic.
The Gamecocks simply clawed their way back into the game on what has gotten them to the Top 10 this season— defense.
"We're the hunted at this point," South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said. "We knew Auburn would come out and play extremely well at home. We just had to keep our heads, stay calm and know that throughout the course of the game, there are going to be runs. We just had to wait for our run."
Mitchell had 18 points and six steals Sunday afternoon to lead No. 10 South Carolina to a 72-66 comeback victory at Auburn, which was held to just 11-of-31 shooting in the second half.
"We just decided to use our length some more and buckle down on defense," Mitchell said. "We're known as a defensive team, so we just stuck to the mindset of getting stops to free up our offense."
Alaina Coates added 14 points for the Gamecocks (16-1, 4-0 SEC) in the victory. The 6-foot-4 freshman center scored all of her points in the first half and shot 4-for-5 from the field.
Auburn (10-6, 1-2 SEC) led by as many as 12 points in the first half before a late rally from the visiting Gamecocks, who entered the game ranked No. 3 nationally in scoring defense.
South Carolina took its first lead of the game within in the first minute of the second half on an Asia Dozier 3-pointer. The Gamecocks extended their lead to 11 points before Auburn's guards pulled the Tigers to within five in the final minutes.
South Carolina, which shot 23-for-34 from the free throw line, hit some clutch foul shots in the final minute to hold onto the comeback victory.
After posting a season-low 7 points against Vanderbilt last Thursday, Auburn senior forward Tyrese Tanner led the Tigers offense with 16 points.
"South Carolina is a very good team— you've got to beat them to get that win," Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. "Although we had chances and very good opportunities, we didn't do everything on every single possession to win the basketball game."
Clemson 77, Pittsburgh 67: In Clemson, junior Nikki Dixon posted career-highs of 29 points and 11 rebounds as Clemson topped Pittsburgh in Littlejohn Coliseum in the first meeting between the programs as ACC foes. Clemson (9-8, 1-2 ACC) out-rebounded the Panthers (9-8, 1-2 ACC) by 16 and scored 45 points in the second half in the victory.
Junior Charmaine Tay added 11 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Kelly Gramlich scored 14 points, including the 100th 3-pointer of her career, as she went 4-for-8 from behind the arc.

Well, Edmonton managed to dodge winter for a surprisingly long time. I can't remember the last time we had a snowless Remembrance day. In any event, I woke up to this:
Birch doesn't really know what to do about it either. He seems to be amused with the smells, but has been grumpy and cold all morning.
My knitting seems to have been quite well timed, as I just finished myself some winter wear. In the span of a movie (plus a little extra) I cast on and finished a Parisian Twist Ear Warmer. I decided to try and grow out my hair, and that always poses a challenge in winter. The compromise between warmth and having hat hair all day is something I'm far too vain to contend with. The pattern was easy and well written, and the product is the perfect combination of squishy, warm and practical. Plus, I got to use a cute button I've had in my stash forever.
The rest of my day is going to be filled with research, nutella hot chocolate, soup, knitting and a bit of Harry Potter to keep me sane. What are your favourite things to do to chase the chill?
Happy Saturday!

UK National Contact Point: make a complaint about a multinational enterprise
How to make a complaint that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines have not been met.
Who can complain
Any interested party can file a complaint. The complainant may be, for example:
- a community affected by a company's activities
- employees or their trades union
- a non-government organisation (NGO)
A complainant may act on behalf of identified other parties.
When a complaint can be made
You can make a complaint if a company is breaching the OECD guidelines.
The guidelines are recommendations for responsible business conduct that adhering governments encourage their enterprises to observe wherever they operate.
They cover a broad range of issues, including:
- due diligence in the supply chain
- disclosure
- human rights
- employment and industrial relations
- environment
- working to stop bribery
- consumer interests
- science and technology
- competition
- taxation
Raise a complaint
To raise a complaint with the UK NCP, you should:
Identify which parts of the OECD guidelines may have been breached - please note that this updated version of the guidelines was endorsed by the OECD on 25 May 2011 and applied by the UK NCP with effect from 1 September 2011 (if your complaint is about actions that took place before 1 September 2011, you should refer to the version of the guidelines that applied before to confirm what requirements applied under the guidelines at that time).
Prepare the complaint and relevant supporting material on the basis of the UK NCP's guidance on bringing a complaint under the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises.
If the complaint includes issues relating to a company's due diligence, you may also find it helpful to review the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises: due diligence obligations - additional guidance (PDF, 129KB, 3 pages).
Complaint process
The UK NCP's procedures for dealing with complaints brought under the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises set out what happens at each stage of the process.
Further guidance
The review procedure for dealing with complaints sets out the review process opened to the parties of a complaint when the UK NCP issues an initial assessment rejecting a complaint, or a final statement.
Read more about the UK National Contact Point's (NCP) handling of parallel legal proceedings for complaints.
Contact the UK National Contact Point
For queries, complaints under the OECD guidelines, or inclusion on our mailing list, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or write to:

Since last week, news from Europe and Spain continues to dominate the world financial market. This week we saw successful biding of Spain's short term bond, but today's 10-year auction would further indicate investor's confidence level in Spanish economy.
Spain's latest doubtful bank loan figures added more to country's economic gloom, since February's number suggest that the ratio of bad loans jumped to 18-years high to Euro 143.8 billion to 8.15 pct of the total credit versus from 7.91 pct in January.
I am not sure how many of you took note of my yesterday's post, I had highlighted that UK's MPC meeting minutes could be the main driver behind Pound Sterling's move, which roar passed the 1.60 figure.
Helped by better employment data, Pound got further boost when dovish Adam Posen did not demand for an increase in the size of QE, which is currently GBP 325 billion.
Today's US Economic data could give last push to Euro to slide below 1.30 levels, as market should be nervous after French Socialist challenger Hollande's statement that he will protect sovereignty and re-negotiate German led fiscal pact. Survey suggests that the Socialist challenger is constantly leading by over 7 pct. Spain's 10-year bond auction will be today's trend setter. One thing is for sure that there is plenty in Europe to worry about.
Gold @ $ 1641 = Selling strategy to continue around $ 1642-44, as Gold should stay below $ 1649 for $ 1633-35 levels as my new target is $ 1626. However, only break of $ 1652 could delay the down move
Euro @= 1.3122= Sell Euro around 1.3135-40, a break of 1.3080 is required for a test of 1.3040. A break of this level would pave way for 1.2950. However, only break above 1.3180 could risk for minor gain.
GBP @ = 1.6032= There is a minor risk that break of 1.6045 could push Cable towards 1.6070. However, once 1.5975 surrenders Pound would ease and should test 1.5840.

Given the correlation to the EURUSD and tomorrow morning's (430 am EST) Spanish auction, don't dismiss the potential for a test of 9090 before the next bull leg.
EURUSD Trade Idea on Spanish Auction - http://t.co/4QuQcwhQ
A test of 12880-12900 is favored as long as price is below the April high of 13379. 12880-12900 intersects channel support late this week. Watch the level closely as a drop below the channel would be a 'tell' that the decline from 13379 is a 3rd wave rather than a C wave. On the other hand, a rebound from that level (or spike below and recovery) would favor a C wave interpretation. A test of 13210/50 may take place before the next bear wave but I believe that being short is the correct position. The ideal short entry would be on a positive reaction to the Spanish auction into 13210/50.
GBP can be sold around 1.60389 and EUR sell around 1.31191
"When everybody goes to the same side of the boat, it's logical to take the opposite side of the trade." -
WoW ! !
Mohamad, I did like your idea of expanding business model and to include financial service. Today 1st thing that I did in my office is that I have started working on this project
Millions of traders all over the world are too dependent on chart working because the trader is totally dependent on the program that is available on a 20 inch computer screen that was sold to provide guidance about the next ticker and therefore those millions that have bought the system in a hope all those million will act together that may produce the desired result.
All traders are always looking at the tickers in hope to tell about the next move because of their inability to understand the fundamentals. When an economic even happens, they all look at their computer screens to get some guidance.
When a system makes an error like it happened in NYSE in 2008, all those poor traders had to suffer huge losses because they were totally dependent on electronic trading system and hand no idea about the real world.
I agree that the world is now too dependent on electronic machines and hostage to computer programming.
Another good example is printing of money, which is no more printed or would not be wrong to say humanly not possibly and thus electronically managed.
I am sure scientists and engineers must be working to replace such traders with robots.
Enjoy ! It's all about perception ;-)
Good morning Mr. Rizvi, do you have more information about your poject.
Thanks a lot
Marlis, this is with reference to Mohamad's last night post.It may take some time.Thanks
Prem, when I do not reply my view is unchanged ..GBP top around 1.6080...GL
thanks sir
GM Mr.Ziad, GOLD @ $ 1644 I think you missed the earlier opportunity. After test lows is likley to stretch towards $ 1646-48. I would sell around those levels.
By the way Spain's auction result will be out in next 7 minutes. Market will remain vilatile..Cheers
