Throughout almost all of his career as a filmmaker, Greg Mottola has told stories that celebrate the sweet, funny and sometimes hard process of coming of age. In his latest film, 'Paul,' he does the same, but for two decidedly different characters (or at least characters of different ages) than in his previous efforts 'Superbad' and 'Adventureland:' Graeme (Simon Pegg) and Clive (Nick Frost), two pushing-40 British nerds whose pilgrimage to Comic-Con is hijacked when they encounter the title character (Seth Rogen), who happens to be an actual extraterrestrial. Although the project was written by stars Frost and Pegg, Mottola gives their alien tale human dimensions, dispensing life lessons and laughs in equal measures as the duo liberally references classic sci-fi texts like 'Star Wars' and 'E.T.' en route to their own rendezvous with otherworldly creatures.
Cinematical sat down with Mottola in Austin at the South by Southwest Film festival, where 'Paul' played like gangbusters to a crowd comfortable with celebrating nerd-dom. In addition to talking about the film's pastiche of references, Mottola explained the film's unusually... mature coming-of-age curve, and offered his thoughts about telling stories that connect with more than the Comic-Con crowd that is flatteringly depicted in the film.

Question: In Bible study, we recently discussed Jesus saying from the cross "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Was Jesus merely reciting Psalm 22, or was he crying out in pain and giving voice to a kind of despair?
Answer: With sacred Scripture, there are many levels of meaning at work. You are correct in observing that Jesus is quoting from Psalm 22. And many argue, with good merit, that in quoting the first line of Psalm 22 Jesus intends the whole of Psalm 22 for himself — and us.
In Psalm 22, we are alerted to the many ways in which prophecies are being fulfilled. The psalm speaks of an afflicted man who feels downcast, but also mentions others who divide his garments among them and cast lots for his vesture, who pierce his hands and feet, and who ridicule him in his suffering. And all these prophecies are being fulfilled almost exactly as Jesus is on the cross.
Psalm 22 is also an important catechism for us about suffering because, considered as a whole, it is not just a psalm of despair and grief, but also one of trust and hope in God's deliverance. It recalls how God has delivered devout men and women in the past and asserts that God never spurns those who cry out to him in their misery. The psalm writer confidently expects God's help, and to be able, one day, to tell his descendants of the glorious things the Lord has done. And thus, while Psalm 22 surely gives voice to the pain and grief we experience in our suffering, it also reminds us to call on the Lord and trust that he will deliver us.
And so we see, first of all, that Jesus, in quoting Psalm 22, is a great teacher, even from the pulpit of the cross. We are taught to revere prophecy and to trust God in our afflictions.
And yet we ought not wholly exclude that Jesus is also quoting the psalm for his own sake as well. Surely, as man, he suffered great anguish — both physical and mental, emotional and spiritual — on the cross. And thus he, for his own sake, has recourse to Psalm 22. Indeed, how often have many of us in our sufferings found in Scripture great consolation and vindication? Perhaps we will say, "This Scripture text expresses exactly how I'm feeling!" In this there is a kind of consolation that God knows what I am experiencing and that others have endured similar trials. We also experience consolation as Scripture teaches us how God has delivered others and will, in due time, deliver us, too.
Question: I recently received an annulment from the Church and had my current marriage validated by the priest. And yet, in Matthew 19, Jesus says to divorce and marry another is to commit adultery. What am I to do?
Answer: Trust the Church to which Christ gave the power to bind and loose. Jesus says, "What God has joined together let no one separate" (Mt 19:6). But not every exchange of marriage vows is ipso facto a work of God. Vows must be properly exchanged by people of requisite maturity, etc. The annulment process seeks to investigate if God had in fact joined the couple or not, based on evidence supplied. If not, a person is free to marry, for they were not truly married the first time.

Daniel Michalik: Puts A Cork In It
Daniel Michalik is an Industrial Design Professor at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. He certainly practices what he preaches — as you can see from these amazing furniture designs. And yes, that's cork he's working with! Not only is this innovative, but it's also technically green. Daniel has found a way to create a product using another manufacturers scrap that is completely recyclable.
Daniel Michalik's work focuses on the use of underutilized and pretty unconventional materials. The result is pretty amazing and creative. Cork is a recyclable, and totally sustainable material that works well in furniture design - it's also plentiful and extremely pliable (it certainly would have to be with some of his designs!)

Dec. 2, 2005
In one of the more unusual basketball happenings in recent memory both the Bisons and Lady Bisons lost their games by one point.
Thursday night at the KSU Convocation Center on the campus of Kennesaw State, the Lady Bisons were edged 69-68 in overtime. In the nightcap the Bisons lost 67-66.
Both times a freshman did the damage to the Lipscomb teams. Ashley Johnson scored the 3-pointer that beat the Lady Bisons. Andre Morgan hit a pair of free throws to ice the nightcap for Kennesaw State.
The Owls of Kennesaw State scored the first two points of the game and held off the Bisons until the 3:17 mark of the first half when center Shaun Durant hit a pair of free throws for a 32-30 lead.
The Bisons scored the last five points of the half, leading 42-34 at intermission.
In the second half the Bisons remained in control building up a nine-point lead at 54-45 on a jump shot by Durant with 12:15 left to play.
A jump shot by Kennesaw State guard Golden Ingle pulled them to within two points (56-54) with 8:43 remaining. But the Bisons built their lead to six points again at 7:48 on a field goal by freshman guard Michael Lusk.
At 5:15 Kennesaw State was again within two points of tying the game as a 3-point shot by guard Ronnell Wooten trimmed the Bisons lead to 62-60.
Neither team would score in the next three minutes until Lipscomb's James Poindexter hit a pair of free throws with 2:13 left for a 64-60 lead. Durant followed with a field goal at 1:51 to give the Bisons a 66-60 lead.
Wooten hit another 3-pointer, one of four for the game, with 1:39 on the clock to cut the lead to 66-63.
No one would score again until the clock ticked down to 15 seconds remaining. Ingle hit a pair of free throws to make it a 66-65 game.
With one second left Morgan would hit a pair of free throws to give the game to Kennesaw State at 67-66.
Lipscomb forward Eddie Ard took a desperation shot at the buzzer from 16-to-18 feet out that missed sealing the loss.
Two Bisons finished in double figures. Durant recorded a double-double with 14 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Lusk, a Kennesaw resident, was inspired by playing in front of his hometown crowd. He finished with 13 points, his first double-figure effort of the season.
Three Kennesaw State players scored in double figures even though the team shot only 35.5 percent from the field. Wooten put up a game-high 21 points. Ingle added 17 and Kenan Knight scored 13.
The Bisons slipped to 1-3, 0-1 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is 3-3, 1-0 in the conference.

Sunni Brown: Doodlers, Unite!
There is a powerful cultural norm against doodling in settings where we are supposed to learn. Visual specialist Sunni Brown wants to bring back the "do" in "doodle," and is leading the Doodle Revolution.
In this TEDTalk, Sunni Brown extols the benefits of doodling—using doodle examples, of course. Studies show that people who doodle have 29 percent greater retention of verbal presentations. Further, doodling stops people from losing focus and boosts comprehension and creative thinking. Given the opportunity, Ms. Brown would submit this new definition to the Oxford English Dictionary: doo.dl.ing (dood'l'ing) v. To make spontaneous marks to help yourself think.
If your eyes popped with excitement watching this less-than-six-minute video, then you'll be in doodle heaven with Sunni Brown's site. Enter the pearly gates here.
Urban artists revive our neighborhoods and show us how to share our gifts.
In this entertaining talk, Sir Ken Robinson asserts that to get the best out of people, schools need to nurture creative thinkers rather than good workers.

Vineet Sinha needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
We have just got our logo designed and are looking to get a corresponding website design made.
We have many things that we would like to get into the site:
* The site should say that we are experts at what do, that we are technically sophisticated (we are an MIT-spinoff), that we are willing to do things differently, and that we can show complex things using a clean and simple interface.
* The site should give the feeling that we are a small group of people who love what we do - i.e. it should look like it is built for a team as opposed to for a large company. Two site that are similar in this way to what we want are: xobni.com and sliderocket.com
* The site should feel like it came from a younger ibm.com. Also younger versions of veracode.com and agitar.com will fit out needs. Do note that some of these sites use some of the typical web2.0 styling - a trait that would likely work well with us also.
* The site should be consistent with the feel of our logo.
This contest is really only for the homepage and a minor modification to it to make a basic content page design (see the about pages at xobni.com and sliderocket.com for examples). The winning designer will also have the opportunity for another $100 or so for further help in getting the design consistent with the rest of the site: design for forums, etc.
Architexa helps programmers make sense of code. We do this by having a very sophisticated engine which makes diagrams from your code. The engine is both intelligent and at the same time is very interactive. Having such diagrams should make programmers faster.
The site should ideally say that we:
- are smart and technically sophisticated
- are young and are willing to do things differently
- make ugly code look simple and easyGiven the above we are thinking that our companies website will likely have blue, gray, and red (high-tech and active). Another option might include a shade of green (such as used in the logo) to have the same feeling. If using something different from the logo then the logo's color scheme might need to be modified to keep things in sync. But feel free to choose a different color scheme based on what we are trying to do.
To get a better idea of what our output will be some examples of what our diagrams will ideally look like (you can use one of them as the product image for now - I will send product images later):
- http://kenn-hussey.blogspot.com/200…gence.html
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JE…chitecture
- http://blogs.msdn.com/mikewalker/ar…vices.aspx
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn_Architecture
- http://www.perseus-os.org/content/p…re.htmMore Details:
- Our logo can be found here: http://www.architexa.com/downloads/logo.zip. There are two versions of the logo in the file, for now use v2.
- Some sites that we like: apple.com, tasktop.com, ibm.com, xobni.com, sliderocket.com, veracode.com, agitar.com
- We would like the navigation (menus) to be on the top, and there would likely be only 4-5 options (similar to xobni.com).
- We would like a little bit of a Web2.0 feel, some of the above sites had a little bit of that, for example ibm.com, veracode.com, and agitar.com.
- It might be worth trying for 1-2 elements to span the width of the browser and the rest of the content to be centered, such as with sliderocket.com and uservoice.com
- Simple, sophisticated, and clean
- Need results as a psd.
- Complicated and cluttered designs.

I'm also a fan of 2000-names! Despite it's annoying ads, it's one of the best resources I have discovered.
I also use the fantastic onomastikon compiled by Kate Monk: http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/
It's got thousands of names sorted into their places of origin, plus pronunciation guides and brief excerpts about the history and evolution of naming practices in certain cultures. It's one of the most complete naming guides I have ever found.

Any student may join a Learning Community — provided that he or she has met the prerequisites for classes in the Learning Community.
You will earn the normal amount of units for each class. For example, if you enroll in a Learning Community with two 3‑unit classes, you will earn 3 units for each class for a total of 6 units.
You cannot drop only one of your classes without dropping the other class or classes in the Learning Community. However, one of the benefits for joining a Learning Community is the added support you will have throughout the semester. This support is very important for helping students avoid dropping the Learning Community. In fact, Learning Communities typically have far better student success and retention rates than normal courses.
No. Your grades for each class are independent. However, the subjects and assignments for the classes will be linked, and therefore your progress in one class will most likely reflect your progress in the other.
Yes, some classes cover General Education requirements (IGETC, CSU, UCSD TAG, AA) while others cover prerequisites for General Education requirements. (Before you enroll in a Learning Community, or any class, it is recommended that you visit a counselor in room A-110.) Click here to see requirements for your program or education plan.
Learning Community classes and "other classes" cover the same subjects. But the similarities end here. Learning Community classes have a common theme and are designed so that students learn to make connections between two or more subjects. The classes are planned and coordinated by a team of professors so that the classes share topics, ideas and assignments throughout the semester. Ideally, studying for one of the classes means studying for the others at the same time. See the "Student Benefits and Experience" page to learn more.

Kind of disappointed with the lack of plot.
Far worst than the original. Feels like the only reason they made it is for financial gain. That's a shame!
If you went for a cheap, cookie cutter action movie, you'll be disappointed. A great story arc, acting, soundtrack, suspense, visual effects, and dramatic scenes make this an amazing cinematic experience. More directors need to produce films like this so we don't have the same super hero or action movie regurgitated out by Hollywood year after year.
I like the movie but not too much the dog part. Still I like the story.
I was told to watch the first one to no to get lost, They were right because I could compare the two movies. Both were ok.
Good movie. Visually amazing.
A great movie. Make sure to watch the original Blade Runner again before going to see it in order to refresh your memory about a few things.
This movie has the same feel as the original. It is long and drags a bit in parts but I enjoyed the movie. A must see for those who enjoyed the original.
Is it me, why people say the movie is great before they see it? This is really dumb.
We went to see it on Sunday and my husbandfell asleep
An OK movie

A Little Pasta with Your Meat: 10 Meaty Sauces & Meatballs
Pasta is good all on its own, but sometimes we crave just a bit of meat with it. OK, maybe more than a bit — it's so easy to eat just one more tender, juicy meatball or add another scoop of rich ragù, chunks of slow-simmered beef or lamb falling to pieces in the sauce. If you're looking for a bit of meat with your pasta (or vice versa) here are 10 recipes to try: Five meaty sauces (duck, beef, lamb, and more) and five meatball recipes — each of them a winner, we promise.
• 1 Rich and Meaty Lamb Ragù
• 2 Sausage & Fennel Ragù
• 3 Oxtail Ragù for You
• 4 Slow-Cooked Bolognese Sauce
• 5 A Simple Duck Ragu
• 6 How To Make Meatballs
• 7 Totally Tender Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
• 8 Turkey Meatballs over Greens
• 9 Pork Meatballs with Lemon and Thyme
• 10 Spiced Lamb Meatballs
If you're going to eat meat with your pasta, what's your preference? Meaty sauce, meatballs, or something entirely different and separate from the pasta?

As election season slides into its final stretch, some members of the punditocracy, from lack of sleep and abuse of caffeine, start to lose their minds. Or at least that's the most generous explanation for how Kevin Williamson came to write—and the editors at National Review came to approve—a bizarre love letter to Mitt Romney that falls somewhere between a hagiography and a letter to Penthouse. Williamson's thesis—and you're going to have to read his piece to truly understand that I'm not making this up—is that Romney's wealth and fertility make him the sort of sex symbol that should be able to just waltz into the White House, if he just had the guts to be himself and stop trying to relate to the little people.
While ordinary people might wonder about the decision-making process that led National Review to publish this bit of erotic fan fiction, those who watch the conservative movement closely have no doubts about the rationale. The piece is a smorgasbord of misogyny, contempt for working people, and pointless, pretentious prose. It's almost as if it came from a computer algorithm designed to piss off liberals. No doubt the magazine's editors felt like evil geniuses for having concocted the perfect way infuriate the left, but sadly for them and for Williamson, the torrid hyperbole of the entire thing instead made it more of a joke than an outrage. Particularly so because Williamson rooted his entire argument in his sadly mistaken belief that Romney's sexiness is self-evident enough that it needs simply to be celebrated instead of explicated. Williamson stands in a long line of Beltway pundits who make the same mistake of thinking that it's generally appropriate to see sexiness in politicians that simply isn't there.
The delusion that regular Americans look to politicians and see Sexy persists in East Coast media circles, despite its evident ludicrousness and a number of debunkings. It leads me to believe that the problem stems from the bubble mentality that prevents pundits from remembering the world outside theirs, if only for the sake of comparison. In the media circle around D.C. (one that sadly extends to New York), President Obama is "cool," Paul Ryan is "hip," and Sarah Palin is scorchingly hot. These myths persist, even though the flag-waving, apple-pie-eating persona that politicians must adopt to survive precludes any realistic hope of being an actual sex symbol like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie.
Recently, in an otherwise excellent piece in The New York Times, Maureen Dowd, demonstrating exactly this sort of bizarro-world thinking, described Paul Ryan as looking "young and hip and new generation, with his iPod full of heavy metal jams and his cute kids." By "heavy metal jams," Dowd presumably meant Ryan's beloved Rage Against the Machine, a band that was relevant two decades ago and only sounds "heavy metal" to people who think all rock music released after 1967 is a wall of undistinguished noise. Ryan wears khaki pants with checkered shirts! He sounds like a 16-year-old virgin imagining what sex must be like when he talks about reproductive rights! You can only consider him hip and sexy if your only point of comparison are the residents of a nursing home. And yet Dowd didn't come up with this assessment all on her own; she got the strange notion that Ryan is hip from the Beltway discourse, where it's assumed he's dreamy because he has blue eyes and works out.
Max Read of Gawker tried to shame pundits out of declaring politicians sexy or cool with his piece detailing what should be obvious: Barack Obama, regardless of his nifty name, is a dork who wears baggy jeans and bicycle helmets. Obama got the votes of genuinely hip people, so it's easy to see how those living in the political bubble got confused, but seriously, this is a man that makes goofy faces while reading children's books aloud. Calling him cool brings to mind images of a dorky youth pastor scolding teenagers by saying, "Well I think nothing is cooler than knowing Jesus Christ died for your sins."
Look, I get it. The Beltway is composed of a bunch of people who joined debate teams in high school and know their way around a 3x5 index card. Their measure of "sexy" and "cool" has been permanently tweaked by our lack of exposure to these qualities in the natural form. If it wasn't for young dorks thinking they're cool, the Decemberists wouldn't have sold a single record. The permanently nerdy fill a niche.
But it's imperative that pundits understand how little they know of what the real world thinks of as sexy or cool. Otherwise, you run a strong risk of doing what Kevin Williamson did, and writing three pages of turgid prose based on the premise that a devout Mormon who owns a dancing horse is the epitome of sexy. While doing such a thing entertains your audience endlessly, it does so only at the price of your utter humiliation. Instead, take the easy way out and simply abstain from trying to guess at what qualities make a politician sexy. Since you can't actually tell, I can assure you that the answer is pretty much always going to be "none."

Heres a thread for general discussions and various thoughts. I stickied it be easy to access.
Something i like to do is give a breakdown of how i feel about certain players in the first round.
Tears of joy kind of happy:
Jarvis Jones
Cordarelle Patterson
It was previously just Jones who i think is a perfect fit, but Patterson has skyrocketed up my board (had him #1 for WRs for a while, but hes surpassing more and more players)
Previous players to make me feel this way: David Decastro, Michael Oher, Julio Jones, Vernon Gholston, Gaines Adams, Eric Berry, Suh, Calvin Johnson.
Star Loutouei
Chance Warmack
Jonathan Cooper
Keenan Allen
Barkevious Mingo
Dion Jordan
Xavier Rhodes
All of these guys are game changing difference makers, even the guards....both are top notch prospects and will be the final piece to making a terrific oline.
Justin Hunter
DeAndre Hopkins
Damontre Moore
Tyler Eifert
Bjoern Werner
Eziekiel Ansah
Desmond Trufant
Most of these guys might be slight reaches but are on the cusp of being valued at 17 and if a reach is necessary to get their guy, then so be it.
Annoyed, but can live with it:
Eddie Lacy
ANY Defensive tackle...Hankins, Jenkins, J. Williams, Richardson, S. Williams
Kenny Vaccaro
Manti Teo
Arthur Brown
Absolutely Furious:
Jonathan Cyprien
Alec Ogletree
Kevin Minter
Tavon Austin
Datone Jones
Ive listed around 30 players, so Its pretty safe to say one of these guys will be the first round pick. Few guys like Ansah, have moved up and few guys like Teo, lacy have moved down
Another thing I am usually spot on with these, 7 players each for the first 3 rounds...players i like to think they are targeting:
Round 1
Cordarelle Patterson
Jarvis Jones
Dion Jordan
Barkevious Mingo
Keenan Allen
Jonathan Cooper
Star Loutouei
Round 2
David Amerson
Matt Elam
Justin Hunter
Robert Woods
Alex Okafor
Giovanni Bernard
Margus Hunt
Round 3
Brian Schwenke
Corey Lemonier
Marcus Lattimore
TJ Mcdonald
BW Webb
Stepfan Taylor
Terrence Williams
Ill continue to post random thoughts

Pleased to need you!
I am here on out known as Rev Jazzman. My computer skills are well rounded, but not well versed. I, on the other hand, am well versed but not well rounded.
I snuck away from Windows two years ago (got tired of the crashes), and wanted to experiment... I started with FreeBSD and just decided to stay with it. Hey... Why mess up a good thing, right? (two years, and no crashes! Woohoo!)
Anyway... While learning FreeBSD, my eyes were opened to the wonderful world of networking... Fascinating stuff!
I enjoy writing, preaching, smoking, programming, and strong coffee... Although the least of my skills is probably found in programming.
My hope is that this will continue my learning experience. Perhaps after a while, I'll have the opportunity and pleasure of being able to return the same type of wisdom that I gain...

A nutty finale for 'Scandal,' TV's craziest show
NEW YORK (AP) — "Scandal" is arguably the nuttiest show on the air. But there's a method to its madness, demonstrated every week with OMG intensity.
Thursday's third-season finale was a reminder of its tasty kookiness. Not as jaw-dropping as some (or many) episodes, it still was a display of how this show routinely shakes things up almost, though somehow not quite, beyond belief or recognition.
Read no further if you're immune to FOMO and haven't yet watched the episode.
This image released by ABC shows Tony Goldwyn, left, and Bellamy Young in a scene from the third season finale of "Scandal," which aired on Thursday, April 17, 2014. (AP Photo/ABC, Ron Tom)
ABC's "Scandal," of course, centers on Olivia Pope (played by Kerry Washington), a Washington fixer at the highest level. She has had an on-again, off-again affair with the dashing President Grant (Tony Goldwyn), whose wife, the first lady (Bellamy Young), puts up with it with varying degrees of tolerance and bitterness while, recently, having her own fling with her husband's choice for his new vice president.
It's that kind of White House. And that's just for starters.
But how did the season end?
Olivia, realizing every terrible thing that happens is due to her (no wonder: She's the lead character!), concluded, "I'm the scandal! And the best way to deal with a scandal is to shut it down."
So she ditched her firm, her city and her president-squeeze in a private jet with her backup beau (played by Scott Foley), a sexy, shadowy figure who, for his own reasons, also chose to part ways with the capital city.
It doesn't take a crystal ball to predict they'll be back as quickly as the jet can be refueled.
No less predictably, Fitzgerald Grant was elected to a second term, inching by his opponent thanks to sympathy votes when his teenage son collapsed and died during an eleventh-hour political rally.
Turns out Olivia's terrorist mom (Khandi Alexander) engineered the bomb that nearly took out Fitz.
But — surprise! — it was Rowan Pope, Olivia's megalomaniac dad (Joe Morton), who murdered the president's son. Pope was scheming to guarantee Fitz's re-election and then seal his trust after wreaking vengeance on the widely assumed killer, Pope's own ex-wife and Olivia's mom.
Introduced as an evil guy then revealed to be a good guy during the past year, now Rowan Pope has been restored to monster status — as he claims his place at the side of the unwitting chief executive.
Meanwhile, the loss of their son has helped bring Fitz and his wife back together (yet again), just days after he was ready to lose the election and retire to a small town in Vermont with Olivia. (He would be mayor. She would make jam.)
It's just another narrative ricochet. But "Scandal" packs more twists and turn-arounds than a testing ground for boomerangs.
People complain that nothing gets done in Washington. "Scandal" dramatizes an opposite kind of city, where the action never stops. Except (painfully for "Scandal" fans) the next few months, while the show is on break.

The internet and digital recording might be making it easier than ever for young people to make and release music, but when it came to the best albums of 2012, this was mainly a year for the older guard.
The internet and digital recording might be making it easier than ever for young people to make and release music, but when it came to the best albums of 2012, this was mainly a year for the older guard.
1. Jack White: "Blunderbuss." White's first solo album brings together the varied range of music he'd hinted at in his bands. So we get everything from a country weeper (the title song), to the rootsy honky tonk pop of "Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy," to the White Stripe-ish thunder of "Sixteen Saltines" to the jumping jive of "I'm Shakin'" (a Little Willie John tune).
2. Bob Dylan: "Tempest." Over the past decade and a half Dylan has done something few would have predicted: He's reinvented his sound. At the same time, he's found the songwriting magic again, and with "Tempest," both trends continue. A couple of songs don't click musically, but most of "Tempest" is powerful and a worthy addition to the Dylan canon.
3. Graham Parker and the Rumour: "Three Chords Good." This reunion (32 years after Parker split with his original backing group, the Rumour), reinforces the notion that the Rumour was always his best band. "Three Chords Good" has one of his best collections of songs ever.
4. Dr. John: "Locked Down." "Locked Down" suggests that the producer on this album, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, unlocked some dormant creativity in Mac Rebennack (aka Dr. John) as this tasty collection stands as the best Dr. John album in many years.
5. Bruce Springsteen: "Wrecking Ball." "Wrecking Ball" finds Springsteen blending his anthemic rock with the folkier influences he first explored on his 2006 CD, "We Shall Overcome/The Seeger Sessions." "Wrecking Ball" shows that Springsteen remains ambitious, adventurous and vital as ever.
6. Green Day: "Dos!" All three of Green Day's 2012 CDs have landed in my top 20. "Dos!" – the second installment in the trilogy – gets the highest ranking for its consistent quality and rocking attitude.
7. John Fullbright: "From the Ground Up." Fullbright has been touted as the latest in the ever-lengthening line of "Next Bob Dylans." He might at least come close to living up to such hype.
8. Alejandro Escovedo: "Big Station." "Big Station" works because the songs are excellent, as Escovedo continues to make some of the best music rock has seen over the past decade.
9. John Hiatt: "Mystic Pinball." In "Mystic Pinball" Hiatt delivers a mostly rocking and cheery batch of typically fine songs.
10. Green Day: "Tre!" The most diverse of this year's trio of Green Day albums, "Tre!" sees the band transcending pop-punk in convincing style."

It's not all bad news for the Ravens on the first day of free agency. Despite trading receiver Anquan Boldin on Monday and then losing linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe on Tuesday, the Ravens still might have a shot at retaining safety Ed Reed and offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie.
Free agency is basically a young man's game, and the big names usually sign during the first couple of days when the market opens.
So far, the interest has been lukewarm for McKinnie and Reed. If they aren't signed by the weekend that usually means they can be signed for value or below market value, which is good for the Ravens because they don't have much salary-cap room to sign players.
As for Kruger and Ellerbe, they earned their deals even though they were overpaid by their respective new teams.
Kruger got a five-year, $40 million contract from the Cleveland Browns. That's ludicrous, especially for a part-time player who comes in only on pass rushing situations. They better keep Kruger on the left side because he won't have as much success going against left tackles in the NFL.
To pay Kruger that amount just shows you why the Cleveland Browns are the Cleveland Browns. Kruger, though, worked hard and turned himself into a solid player. As for Ellerbe, the Ravens underestimated what he would get on the open market. But few expected him to get the five-year, $35 million contract he got from Miami.
Unlike Kruger, he'll be missed because the Ravens have no presence, no run stopper in the middle, especially with inside linebacker Jameel McClain still recovering from a spinal injury.
Some Ravens fans will complain that Ellerbe and Kruger showed no loyalty to the Ravens, but they just made good business decisions. They got their rings last season, and now they are cashing in on big pay days.
Free agency is still a young man's game.

I'm Dreaming of the great Groundhog Song
(to the tune of "White Christmas")
From: Holiday Ideas for Youth Groups, Wayne Rice & Mike Yaconelli, Youth Specialties, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan
I'm dreaming of the Great Groundhog
Just like I do this time each year
When he brings nice weather
And brings us together
To wait for him to appear.
I'm dreaming of the Great Groundhog
With every groundhog card I write.
May your Groundhog's Day be bright
When the Great Groundhog visits you tonight.

have been a fan of Star Wars for as long as I can remember. Every Star Wars film, including the prequels, has had moments that gave me goosebumps, the feeling I would always use to measure how a film made me feel. I had no such goosebump moment in The Last Jedi. The best word I can use to describe my experience is contempt. From very near the start of the movie, I felt an ever deepening pit forming in the bottom of my stomach. So much life is wasted in this film, heroic moments are ruined by modern sounding one liners or gestures. Luke might as well have dabbed in that scene near the end when the director wanted him to look like a badass. Why has the technology of Star Wars degraded so much and become so inconsistent? Sure, the sound and visuals were great, and the music was awesome as always thanks to John Williams, but most movies look and sound great today so that is no longer the mark of a good film. This film has no heart, no soul, or care for what came before
About 2hr 30 min after, watching TLJ, I left the theater confused, (I understand why people had to watch TLJ 2 or 3 more times. And not in a good way). I slept it over. Woke up the next day. Thought about TLJ. Became more and more angry as I thought about TLJ. Slept again. Today, 2 days after watching TLJ = MORE ANGRY as I think about TLJ.
Critique of TLJ = Really weak story, plot holes after plot holes after plot holes, weak characters with little development (Sadness here - Rey, Fin, Poe deserved to shine in this episode...WASTED!), characters introduced who are inconsequential, storylines that go nowhere, forced SJW-3rd wave feminist messaging almost every other scene. (There has ALWAYS been strong men AND women in the sw universe but now only women are strong, smart, courageous, wise....okay....), forced out of place/oddly timed humour (Oh my god the phone joke!), brisk pacing for a 2hrs++ movie which remarkably lacks substance or depth ending up with heroes I am uninterested cheering for, villains that are not threatening. Then, how TLJ handled an iconic character which has been celebrated for pass a good 40 years....disrespectful. Excellent visuals and music though, which seems to be what matters these days.
Ultimately you start to have the feeling that the director/writer of TLJ is giving you, star wars fans and the star wars mythos the middle finger all throughout the movie. Self indulgent, self satisfied, talentless hack. Who the f**k gave the greenlight for Rian Johnson to touch the star wars ip? People need to get fired for this. Thank god Rian Johnson was nowhere near Blade Runner 2049. As a fan of star wars for almost 30 years, literally almost all of my life (as of this writing), I'm done with star wars. I'm NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN EPISODE 9. WHO CARES? As an asian observer, if americans dont even care about their own cultural treasures then why should I? Star Wars is dead.
A massive let down where every potential story thread and character arc is thrown in the trash compactor to make room for Kathleen Kennedy's political agenda. Also Luke Skywalker gets replaced with Jake Skywalker, because there is no way that was Luke in TLJ.
I'm not part of the target audience that enjoyed this catastrophe and is willing to pay for more. I've lost interest in many other beloved franchises before, but never felt so conned and so betrayed like this. As time passes though, comes indifference, and I just can't be bothered. Like many others have expressed, I've no more room for Star Wars in my entertainment, be it past or upcoming features. An X-Wing replica still sits on my desk, but it feels strangely distant now. The Last Jedi is a bitter full circle, and I'm done with Star Wars.
theprionJan 10, 2018
I knew something was wrong when I reached for my watch and thought "this is taking too long". Never before I felt this way while watching an entry of my favorite movie saga ever. Up to that point I was mildly entertained - lots of eye-candy - but the over-the-top humor and a growing length that for some reason wasn't paying off were already red flags. When the credits rolled I was confused out of my mind.
Since then I don't go a day without thinking how bad the whole experience was, and I just had to come over and join the almost three-thousand voters' consensus.
One could point three main reasons why The Last Jedi is atrocious: 1) It's technically an awful movie: bad writing, bad pacing, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad decisions, gaping plot holes, no character development, no real journey, no accomplishments, disjointed plot; 2) It actually strives to spend the maximum screentime as possible delivering political undertones that have nothing to do with it's universe at all; and 3) shamelessly disrespects and disregards the saga's lore, world-building and legendary characters.
I never thought it would come to this, since The Force Awakens was a serviceable nostalgia ride and Disney usually manages to keep the quality standards in their projects. But it's not just about nostalgia, as most of the critics are bashing the disheartened fans. The changes they defend about The Last Jedi are not thoughtful steps forwards that build on the saga's foundation. They're market-calculated decisions designed to appeal a smartphone-dumbed and twitter-minded younger audience, coupled with really shallow and trendy moviemaking. And to that merit, Episode VIII accomplishes it infamously.
Also, that is where The Last Jedi does feel like closure, at least to me. I'm disgusted enough to have paid a cinema ticket to watch it, and I'll not indulge this Coca-Cola-ish brand anymore.
World record breaking plot holes. This movie is so full of scenes which destroy the Star Wars films. Weaponized light speed? Just attach a lightspeed engine to a bag of bricks and shoot it at the Death Star in Ep4! Igniting lightsabers at a distance? Then why didn't Darth Vader just turn off Luke's saber? Oh wait, Luke uses the Force. Ok then why didn't Obi-Wan turn off Grevious's sabers? Ghost Yoda can shoot lightning? Then why didn't he just do that on the salt planet, or electrocute Snoke, or electrocute Kyle Ren?
- Daisy Rey is invincible. Zero training, yet she's on God-mode. Ok.
- Timeline: this movie picks up right after TFA. So, Rey went from a non-Force using nobody on Jakku to defeating three red guards at once (while poor male Kylo could defeat only one) in what, two weeks?!
I will not see any Ep9 in theaters. I took my family to Ep8, so this is a loss of 4 tickets for Ep9. And I stopped three of my friends from seeing Ep8. So, yes, an individual can have an effect. I myself am holding back nearly $200 of revenue by not going to see the rest of these movies. Eat it, Kathleen Kennedy and your superstar team of ALL FEMALE Star Wars writers.
- Forced social commentary. Every male character is full of "toxic masculinity" and therefore must be broken down into a heap of crap, whereas every woman is utterly perfect and infallible. Hint: the entire story team behind Disney's Star Wars is a group of women who specifically forbids men from joining the story team. How is this equality? Leia and Amidala were strong characters who happened to be women. Their gender was almost immaterial. That was all Lucas's doing. In Disney's Star Wars, being female is a prerequisite to being a hero, while being male is a prereq to being an incompetent toxic-masculinity patriarchal devil. Don't even get me started on the ham-fisted "capitalism is evil" casino planet nonsense. Capitalism is evil? Then how about Disney starts charging $0 admission to their stupid theme parks!
This movie gets a 1 strictly due to the high-quality visuals. But I'd take lower-quality visual effects if it came with a better story than this pile of garbage.
I created an account specifically to review this terrible movie. I'm not a bot, nor am I a Crimean spy. I'm also not a Disney employee (hint hint). I'm a very disappointed moviegoer. Here are the major problems with TLJ:
- "Humor". It just wasn't funny. No one in the theater laughed at the parts which were clearly supposed to be funny. It was cringeworthy. This was a blatant attempt to copy Marvel films, and it failed miserably.
- Trashing the legacy characters. Are the filmmakers so full of themselves that they think they can change how the audience feels about characters they've adored for 30 years? Luke is a murderous coward. Leia is Superwoman. Chewie is a vegan. Come on! You've been gifted one of the single greatest cinematic characters EVER in Luke Skywalker. Just show him being wise, with that signature Luke optimism, and let him kick butt with his lightsaber. But no, Luke is a man, which brings me to the next point...
Worst Star Wars film ever. Unbelievable scenes "Leia Superman" with the lacking of originality: (EX: WW2 inspired bombers action, Medieval weapons with an energy setting on it). It gets worse. The wisdom and eternal fight of good and bad is�
the second act is the plot of Battlestar Galactica 1978, someone old enough to remember?
This is not an iconoclastic play some trying to sale. Bad script, bad directing,bad continuity, the actors give his best but had a traitor behind the camera.

When I first moved to mid-Missouri in the mid 1970s, I could easily guess when I would see my first spring daffodils.
When I first moved to mid-Missouri in the mid 1970s, I could easily guess when I would see my first spring daffodils.
Through the 1980s and 1990s, my garden diary shows only a few anomalies.
These past few years, though, the pattern has changed. Our winters are now regularly milder so there are more bugs in spring. Springs are wetter so the growing season starts later. By the time summer arrives, we have increasingly higher temperatures for longer periods of time.
This past summer, we broke records for most of the days, and my poor tomatoes struggled for yet another year.
Scientists have been warning fossil-fuel energy-based consumption is warming the planet. That causes major fluctuations in not only weather conditions but animal and plant patterns. It's not that it hasn't happened in the past. It's that current changes are happening at unprecedented rates, not giving nature a chance to adjust.
Some of my gardening friends have lost a lot of their gardens because of the record heat. Although I have lost a few plants, I have been planting a variety of native trees, bushes and plants. I not only find them easier to grow but they seem to be surviving these rapidly changing conditions. One of my favorite places to shop is George O. White State Forest Nursery in Licking.
The nursery sells locally-grown 1 year old barefoot seedlings, sometimes 2-3 year old stock, now in quantities of 10, 50 or 100 trees.
For example, hardwood trees and shrubs are $1 each up to 40 trees, then the price drops to 36 cents for 50-90 trees.
This year, the nursery is also offering buyers the opportunity to build their own plant bundles.
If they can't ship the plants you ordered, you can ask them to substitute a suitable species.
Orders are shipped February through May, or you can pick them up at the nursery. Order early; they tend to sell out. You can order online at mdc.mo.gov/node /3328.
I re-planted smooth sumac in back of my house a couple of years ago. Bluebirds like to eat the berries in the middle of winter and, according to one of my gardening books, smooth sumac can be used in salads and as a food seasoning.
With the exception of two plants mistaken for poison ivy that ended up under a pile of recently-moved soil, the 2-foot starts are now forming a lovely 5-foot high grove, in spite of my forgetting to give them extra water this summer.

Bad movie. Turned a Star Wars fan off Star Wars. Even Jar Jar didn't do that. I would rather watch The Phantom Menace where all the characters were digitally changed to be Jar Jar than watch this movie.
Ripped the soul out of Star Wars legacy.
This is a how to manual on how to kill a franchise. What a pile of hot garbage this is. So many plot holes, so much bad acting. 1/5 Only got 1 star because its Star Wars. crap.
not too bad I had a hard time understanding it a bit
Tries way to hard to be progressive. I actually liked the other two Disney Star war, but through this one I was just waiting for it to end.
One of the most politically correct pieces of garbage ever created. My what a fantastic franchise you've destroyed Disney. All in the name of a sick ideology.
Everyone who has seen all the Star Wars movies knows this is the worst since they have the others to compare it to.
Actually it's a 4.5 but I'm a star wars fan. I enjoyed the new turn in the force and enjoyed the until now uncharted capacity of the Jedi. The reluctant hero is reborn in Luke Skywalker. I'm now looking forward to where this series will take viewers. The key to a good movie is broken expectation with purpose. This movie gave me a lot of "What!!! No!!" It truly riled me up and had me look at things differently. Star Wars is BACK!

Everyone remembers their first encounter with a whale shark, just as we all remember that first kiss, but experience has taught me that each encounter is in some manner just as unique as the first time.
When I first began diving the northern islands of Wolf and Darwin in the late 1980´s, we really had no idea of the species that we were going to find. Already Darwin´s Arch had begun to get the reputation as being the best dive site in Galapagos. Within days of my arrival to these distant shores I heard rumours of schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks and the strangely named ¨Pez Gato¨ or ¨catfish¨ as the fishermen referred to whale sharks. I later learned that the white spots on a whale shark where likened to those of the jaguar. Perhaps some of the fishermen had spent some of their formative years in the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle!
As time progressed we became aware that the whale sharks were aggregating on a seasonal basis, much more frequent during the cold garua season between June and November. The larger animals were thought to be males, although as with many shark species the female whale sharks are larger on average than males. It was only when we began actively checking for male claspers that it became apparent that most of the sightings were actually of females.
By the beginning of the new millennia I was already convinced that most of those whale sharks that passed by Darwin were not only adult females, but that they were also pregnant! Their distended abdomens appear to confirm this, but how could we get solid scientific evidence? It's not so easy when they average over 10 m in length and weigh upwards of 20 tons. Researchers working with other large pelagic sharks such as tigers and great whites are able to capture the animal and carry out certain medical procedures in a controlled environment, much as we do with humans. The shark is winched onto the deck and immobilised and although there are strict time limitations, blood samples may be taken and an ultrasound test carried out.
This is simply not possible given the size and nature of the whale shark, so how do we propose to do this? Certainly a challenge as this has never been tried before. Blood samples have been taken from captive whale sharks, but never ¨on the fly¨. Picture a diver with no means of propulsion but his fins and leg muscles, chasing down an animal the size of a single decker bus with a 4 knot current in a thousand feet of water! Sound exciting?
Next season we hope to have members from the Georgia Aquarium join us in the field to attempt taking a blood sample from a whale shark in the wild, for the very first time. They already have extensive data of the blood chemistry of captive juvenile female whale sharks that are not pregnant. By comparing the blood chemistry of a female in the wild that we are 90% certain is pregnant, we may be able to determine how close to birthing she is. We also hope to try the worlds first underwater ultrasound using a waterproof prototype unit that is self contained and can record video and still images. Perhaps this will give us an indication of the stage of development of the embryos, as well as numbers of pups. Each encounter with a whale shark provides us with more information.
Developing new techniques in order to answer some of the many questions that still remain about their natural history has always held great appeal, for it is that voyage of discovery and the resulting data that may help protect whale sharks in the future, wherever in the world they roam.

Asymptotic analysis by the saddle point method of the Anick-Mitra-Sondhi model

We consider a fluid queue where the input process consists of identical sources that turn on and off at exponential waiting times. The server works at the constant rate and an on source generates fluid at unit rate. This model was first formulated and analyzed by Anick et al. (1982). We obtain an alternate representation of the joint steady-state distribution of the buffer content and the number of on sources. This is given as a contour integral that we then analyze in the limit . We give detailed asymptotic results for the joint distribution as well as the associated marginal and conditional distributions. In particular, simple conditional limits laws are obtained. These show how the buffer content behaves conditioned on the number of active sources and vice versa. Numerical comparisons show that our asymptotic results are very accurate even for .

Landscapes of Migration
April 28, 2009
Attendees listen attentively to the poetry and prose of students retracing faded footprints of migration at Lewis & Clark's Race Monologues event. Niccolo Jose CAS '09, a student from the Philippines, reads aloud, "With the deepest pain in the past, and the greatest glory, I walk this earth with my country's untold stories."
Telling the untold stories of migrants in America was part of the theme for last November's Ray Warren Multicultural Symposium, in which the Race Monologues was a featured event. Titled "Landscapes of Migration," the symposium featured speakers and events that explored beyond the political stigma associated with the word "immigrant" to the cultural and historical legacy of migration in America.
"While Mexican immigration certainly receives the bulk of the media's attention and political criticism, migration to and within the United States is much more complex and diverse," said Myriah Heddens CAS '09, one of the student cochairs. "We gathered panelists and keynote speakers who have integrated discussions that focus on why people migrate, how it affects culture and identity, and the sociopolitical issues tied to migration in the U.S."
The Multicultural Symposium is an annual event that focuses on issues surrounding race and ethnicity, and strives to increase the Lewis & Clark community's awareness of cultural history, ethnic identity, and knowledge of social issues impacting minority communities locally and nationally.

glossy needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
We need a web page design based on the logo and id that you can find at http://www.santorinirenal.gr/id/San…nalLogo.ai and http://www.santorinirenal.gr//id/Sa…Sample.png
Santorini Renal is a new dialysis center in Santorini, Greece. With this new unit, people with renal problems will be able to have their vacations in Santorini which was impossible until now.
Possible layout:
header with the logo and picture from santorini (in a way that the health unit doesn't lose its seriousness).
Also on the header or wherever you see fits, put flags for greek and english.
horizontal menu under the header with buttons: Home, Services/Treatments, About Us, About Santorini, Contact Us
Content in three columns (left with modules such as latest news, articles etc.), middle column with main content, right column with a banner of a featured news item like "We're open", "Contact Us for more info" or whatever you think of to fill that column.
Footer menu with "Terms of Use, Privacy Policy".
The above is a possible layout I have though of, you may come up with something better.
Generally, I like clean layouts and in this particular case, we need something to imply that people can trust us and also that this unit is in Santorini (one of the most famous tourist destinations in Greece and the World).
Feel free to ask questions, I'll be close to the contest and provide feedback.

Acting president Zhang Jilong announced on Thursday that the AFC
would hold an extraordinary congress in Kuala Lumpur on May 2-3 to
elect a president.
Bin Hammam, who became AFC president in 2002, was found guilty
of vote-buying during his challenge against FIFA president Sepp
Blatter in 2011 and FIFA's ethics committee suspended him from all
soccer activity for life.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned that ban last
July, but bin Hammam remained under provisional bans by both FIFA
and AFC as investigations continued into allegations of financial
irregularities during his tenure. He resigned from soccer on Dec.
17 and was again banned for life by FIFA.
