It's like a shirt made out of air.
This is the sleeveless version of Castelli's Core Mesh Base Layer. And as with the short sleeve version, it incorporates an update to the classic fishnet style design. The older design used the holes of what felt like real fishnet in order to trap air between the skin and the second layer of clothing.
However, with the new fully-open mesh design, it still serves to hold the jersey off of the skin. Essentially, this creates a layer of air between your skin and the jersey in order to help you maintain a constant body temperature. But, besides these thermo-regulating properties, the improvements that Castelli brings to the table are several. The mesh is made from a polyester hollow core fiber that's soft-to-the-touch, efficiently wicks away moisture, and has ample stretch. In terms of shape, Castelli calls this 'body wrap,' because it's designed to wrap the body so that the gaps are only in the mesh, not between the mesh and the body. Accordingly, the entire base layer is mesh, save the hems and the 'V' that resides just below the collar.
The Core Mesh is cut long in order to stay comfortably tucked inside your shorts and bibs. Additionally, it was constructed with minimal seams for a maximum level of comfort.
The Castelli Core Mesh Sleeveless Base Layer is available in the color White and in the sizes Small/Medium, Large/X-Large, and XX-Large.

Literally Cool
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
- Height: 5'8"
- Weight: 140lbs
It gets hot down here in Georgia but I have always found that a base layer makes a difference in helping me cool off and get some of the moisture off my skin. This is a great light weight option that I've added to my base layer closet.
Base Layer for All Types of Weather
I wear this base layer on nearly every ride. It is the only thing I need to wear under my gabba 2 even down into the 30s. So far it has worked great up into the mid 80s. Looking forward to testing it out this summer.
Not bad
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: small
- Height: 5'8"
- Weight: 150lbs
Pretty standard baselayer. The neck is alittle snug as previous reviewers have mentioned but its not horrible and pretty light so once you get it on you dont notice it at all. The material is pretty much a very thin net-like weave. Personally think Craft makes a better baselayer but this one was on sale so I figured I'd give it a try. It does what its suppose to which is wicking moisture but the netting might be odd for some people
Spot on review. These are ok at best, go with Craft.
Great with one (sizing) caveat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wear this fish-net like baselayer under your favorite Summer jersey and you -will- run cooler.
This garment is designed to keep you cool in warm/hot weather by holding your jersey off your skin. It does this really really well.
I wear this vest baselayer on all rides >80°. It works great.
If your upper body/neck is big, this specific garment may not be for you because the opening for the head is very small. But for me (my shoulders/neck aren't that big), it's just very snug, not a huge problem.
Sizing: I'm 5'10" and 180. The L/XL fit perfect. This is supposed to wrap around your upper body, snug.
Works surprisingly well
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It works surprising well in warm conditions. I found in mid 80's f to 90 degrees it worked very well and you noticed the cooling effect. I did one 95 degree high humidity and I didn't feel the difference. I guess if you are riding in those conditions nothing works. The neck line is high and at first I didn't like it but have gotten use to it. The head hole is on the smaller size but it hasn't stretched out yet. I will add to all my warm weather rides. I also purchased Castelli's Prosecco Ice Sleeveless Base and wore it once. So far the mesh wins hands down. I will use that one a few more times before I write that review.
Solid Base Layer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been using one of these base layers on almost every ride. It's the first base layer I've purchased, and I'm hooked now. Does a good job with keeping my body temp constant and sweat dries quickly, especially with the jersey unzipped if I need to dump some heat on a climb. I was worried about the fit with all the negative reviews, but the price is right and Castelli quality is always on point. The neck is small, but it's only a problem putting it on and squeezing my head through. It sits high on my neck, but is soft enough that I don't feel the tightness or anything. I'm 5'7'' 145lbs and the S/M fit is good for me. I've looked at other base layers, but for the price and construction this one is hard to beat. I have 3 on rotation right now. If you're super built, maybe look at something else.
Horrible fit
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I should have paid closer attention to the negative reviews. Not only is this the worst cycling garment I?ve ever owned, it is the probably the worst cycling product I?ve ever owned. The fit is cartoonishly bad. It?s like Castelli confuses neck holes for arm holes; however, both are tight on this product. The neck hole is so incredibly tight I literally felt like I was being choked. Additionally, the fishnet fabric really irritated my nipples. I wore this garment one time, on a 50-mile ride. My nipples were so sensitive afterwards I had to wear band aids for several days afterwards. I?m 5?6 and a slightly muscular/lean build at 145 pounds. I wear 16 � dress shirts. The S/M was incredibly tight in the neck. The fit was such a distraction I was unable to evaluate the efficacy of the alleged cooling effect. 1 star is one star too many. Deserves a negative rating.
5'9" 180# used L/XL for the first time today. Awesome cooling and all the sensitive bits unharmed. Neck hole is tight to put my head through, but was not not perceivable once on. Neck size 17, chest 42. Fit is excellent.
Very uncomfortable!!!!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Neckline is too small. Very uncomfortable.
The Neck Line Will Choke You
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I'm 5'9", 150lb and pretty lean and very fit. The S/M body fit was good, but the neckline nearly choked me. It's just way too narrow. The arm openings were also surprisingly tight, and I'm not exactly musclebound. Me thinks the sizing chart is off.
good price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love to use
neck too small,
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
no matter what body size, xl, 2-3 xl, SS or sleveless.
I'm 165, 5'9, 31 waist, 44 chest (push ups).. No one seems to know if there's a reason for the neck to be so tight. I have average 17", so they all went back. Looking at http://www.backcountry.com/castelli-airco-base-layer-short-sleeve-mens?ti=U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6bWVucyBiYXNlIGxheWVyIHRvcHM6MTo0Om1lbnMgYmFzZSBsYXllciB0b3Bz
maybe will do the job. The open net did add some warmth as an extra layer next to skin though.
Helps me beat the heat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This base layer is must have for riding in warmer temps. Anything 80 degrees and above and this thing is on under my jersey. Essentially it's like having air conditioning during the ride because it creates room for air to flow between your jersey and your skin. The faster you ride, the cooler you feel. I own this model and the seamless version and prefer the seamless, but they both work great.
I wash this base layer by hand in the sink and air dry - do not put in the dryer. Also size down for a close to skin feel. You don't want this to fit lose on you. And be prepared for your wife to laugh at you and make fun of you if she sees you walking around the house with this on.
Quality Castelli construction too. I end up washing my right after my ride so I can have it ready again to ride the next day.

In order to ensure effective protection of state land, the National Land Service (NLS) in all cases, initiates legal proceedings for those who have committed violations and who have not eliminated them. Such actions are provided for in the updated Regulations for the State Control of Land Use. They have been updated in order to strengthen the efficiency of elimination of violations of state land use regulations.
In case individuals do not eliminate the violation established by the Regulations within the specified time limit, not later than within three months from the date of repeated inspection of land use, court proceedings will be prepared and appealed against the obligation to eliminate the violation.
After the change of rules, NLS will have the right not to inform about its actions by organizing unplanned land use inspections of land plot and / or state land area, not created by a separate plot that is not transferred to third parties. Prior to the change of these rules, in all cases (whether it was planned or not planned inspection (on the basis of the received request or complaint)), it was mandatory to notify the land user or owners of land adjacent to the object to be checked about the date and time of the expected inspection. However, specialists of the NLS often encountered cases where the land owners or users informed about the inspection eliminated the violations, but after the inspections were finished, the violations were repeated.
Aiming to ensure the protection of the largest state property - land, the National Land Service carries out systematic planned state control of land use. Taking into account the trends of violations detected in recent years, the specialists of the NLS have scheduled more than 11 thousand priority inspections of state control of land use throughout Lithuania for 2017. During these inspections the land plots of state land rented out for the purpose of temporarily operating agricultural land, the abandoned land plots, land plots bordering with water bodies and other land plots are inspected.
Before 1 January of each year by organizing scheduled inspections, the Director of the NLS approves the annual plan of land management works. The heads of the territorial units of the NLS annually, by the 15th day of the first month of the next quarter, approve the list of planned land use inspections.
Annually NLS carries out around 9 thousand inspections of state land use. During this year, the number of unplanned inspections already reaches 3 and a half thousand. The planned ones comprise 5 thousand inspections.

With their future an open calendar, Commencement speaker Dr. Stacy Jackson encouraged the members of Hope College's graduating Class of 2013 to be deliberate in choosing how they fill it.
"Everyone says that values matter, and they do. The challenge is that we have so many of them. We have to choose which values we will make a priority and commit to them," said Jackson, who is the Kenneth J. Weller '48 Professor of Management and chairperson of the department of economics, management and accounting at Hope.
He noted that the graduates' top priorities should manifest in the lives they go on to lead. "If you value it, it has to show up in your calendar. Otherwise it's not values, it's just vanity," he said.
Approximately 670 graduating seniors participated in the ceremony, the college's 148th, held at Ray and Sue Smith Stadium. The class consisted of students from throughout the United States as well as foreign nations including Afghanistan, Canada, China, Germany, Ghana, Japan, Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria, Singapore, South Africa and Taiwan.
It was the final graduation in the presidency of Dr. James E. Bultman, who is retiring at the end of June after serving as the college's 11th president since 1999. In an addition to the printed program, Provost Dr. Richard Ray led the audience in a round of applause for both President Bultman and Martie Bultman, thanking the couple "for your total commitment to this place, for your total commitment to each one of us, for your total commitment to making Hope College the best Christian liberal arts college in the world—as you might have said, Jim, for time and eternity."
Prior to the Commencement address, the college honored Richard Haworth and the late Gerrard W. Haworth in recognition of their leadership of Haworth, Inc. and commitment to the community and education, including significant impact on Hope across decades. Each was awarded the Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.), with Matthew Haworth, who is chairman of Haworth, Inc. and also Richard's son and G.W.'s grandson, accepting G.W.'s award.
In addition, the graduating class presented the 49th "Hope Outstanding Professor Educator" (H.O.P.E.) Award to Dr. Peter Schakel, who is the Peter C. and Emajean Cook Professor of English and chairperson of the department. The award, first given in 1965, is presented to the professor class feels epitomizes the best qualities of the Hope College educator.
As he addressed the graduates, Jackson noted that being deliberate in choosing how to fill their life's calendar will help assure that they will emphasize the values they'd prefer to make priorities.
"Only by choosing do you get the freedom to actually explore and understand what excellence—for example, in teamwork, or family, or spiritual growth—might look like," he said. "It's also the only way that you'll understand the actual cost, the trade-offs, and what you might gain by making anything number one."
Jackson also encouraged the graduates to engage their values in community with others, but noted that doing so presents challenges of its own. They might struggle to find organizations whose values mesh with their own.
"My advice to you in seeking to live out your values with others is to hold onto your desire for alignment. Don't seek to leave too quickly. Be patient. Realize that change arrives long after the invitation has been sent," he said. "In addition, realize that working for alignment among those you work with will take time and it won't be handed to you. You have to be humble with others.
"Having said that, seek excellence in what you value unapologetically and don't accept the false humility that might be disguised as indecisiveness or an actual love for comfort," he said. "In some cases you will need to leave where you choose to work; in some cases you will need to stay and grow.
Jackson also asked the graduates to remember to live out their values with a Christian view of hope "as a confident expectation that all things will be held together and are held together by God." He reflected on the scriptural passage read earlier during the ceremony, Colossians 1:15-17, which notes, "…all things have been created through him (Christ) and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
The graduation activities began in the morning with the college's Baccalaureate service in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, during which the Rev. Jill Ver Steeg, who is a pastor at Meredith Drive Reformed Church in Des Moines, Iowa, and a member of the college's Board of Trustees, delivered the sermon "Expecting Jesus," exploring Jesus's role as Messiah.
In celebrating Jesus as the Messiah, she said, "we are saying that in the ministry of Jesus we are seeing and hearing what God is doing in the world. Jesus is the redeeming way God works."
She based her sermon on Matthew 3:1-12 and 11:2-11, which focus on John the Baptist. In Matthew 3, John is anticipating the coming of the Messiah and meets Jesus. In Matthew 11, John is imprisoned and questions whether or not Jesus is the Messiah he had been expecting, asking his followers to put the query to Jesus.
"Perhaps John's question is one we've all asked: Jesus, are you the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" Ver Steeg said. "Every one of us have experienced a time in our lives when expectations did not line up with reality."
John, she noted, had anticipated a more militant leader. In responding to John's question, Jesus emphasized that His was a different approach: "Go back and tell John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed are those who do not take offense on account of me."
In the same way, she said, Jesus's ministry is a guide for those living today, simultaneously surprising and an example.
"And if the first Advent of Jesus reveals anything, it points to the truth that the presence of Christ is always surprising, shattering agendas and overturning expectations," she said. "A human child into the world instead of a great warrior. Sending servants rather than troops. Setting unlikely precedents on hillsides, 'you had heard it said to hate your enemies, but I say love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,' spending his days with the marginalized: the have-nots, the children, the lepers and the women. And sending people like you and me to do the work of the coming One."
"Friends, this is called expectancy—living in this broken world tethered to a foundation: 'We believe in Jesus Christ, who came once and who will come again,'" Ver Steeg said.

Mark DeRosa inspires Nats with Teddy Roosevelt speech
Not being on the playoff roster means you don't carry a big stick.
But it doesn't mean you have to speak softly.
After the Washington Nationals went down 2-1 to the Cardinals in the playoffs, Mark DeRosa decided to get presidential.
So bully for him for pulling out the "The Man in the Arena Speech" from Teddy Roosevelt. Even if Teddy didn't add the f-bombs.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Writes James Wagner of the Washington Post:
Since his days at the University of Pennsylvania, DeRosa would turn to those words before big games. This time, he felt he needed to share them....Players who weren't in the clubhouse came streaming in...DeRosa felt that his teammates, composed mainly of young players new to this stage, needed to hear something."
"With our backs against the wall, I wanted to say something that brought us together, a little band of brothers to go out and fight and see what happens," said DeRosa.
Pitcher Drew Storen called it "epic" and "stuff movies are made of."
DeRosa, a 15-year veteran with a .270 batting average, owns a World Series ring from when he played for San Francisco in 2010.

More GIMP Tricks for Doctoring Images (part 2)
Many Ways to Make Selections
In a previous article, I wrote about some basic tricks for cutting objects out of your photos. But you can get a lot more flexibility and control by adding a few advanced techniques.
Suppose you've spent a lot of time carefully selecting a figure in a photo (Figure 1).
You use the Quickmask to paint carefully over those thin legs and antennae. And then you start wondering -- would it look better to include the flower when I paste it onto my stationary? How do you find out?
Saving your selection
The first goal is save your selection so you don't lose it: Select->Save to channel. Once it's saved, you can see it in the Channels dialog, Windows->Dockable Dialogs->Channels (Figure 2).
Initially the channel is named "Selection Mask copy". Double-click the name and change it to something more descriptive, like "butterfly selection". If you save the image in GIMP's native XCF format now, you'll save that channel along with the current selection. You can get the butterfly selection back at any time by clicking on it in the Channels dialog, then clicking the red rectangle button with the tooltip "Replace the selection with this channel".
Now it's safe to start changing the selection, knowing you won't lose all your earlier work.
Adding to and subtracting from selections
How do you take your current selection and extend it to include the flower?
Of course, you could use the Quickmask, painting white where you want more selection, black where you want less. But what if you want to use another tool, like Select by Color, to add the purple flowers without losing the white butterfly?
For that job, each of GIMP's selection tools includes a set of Mode buttons in their tool options (Figure 3).
The default mode is Replace, to replace the current selection with the new one you're about to make; the other buttons let you Add to the selection, Subtract from it, or Intersect with it.
So choose Add mode in Select by Color, then click on one of the purple flowers and drag down-right until the outline seems right. You can even repeat the process: once for the light purple flower tops, a second time for the dark purple stems (Figure 4), and repeat as necessary.
Clean up the details afterward with the Quickmask.
You probably won't use Intersect very often, but Add and Subtract are very handy. Just one problem with them: it's easy to forget you're in Add or Subtract mode, then come back later and wonder why your selection tool isn't working quite right. So get in the habit of setting Mode back to Replace when you finish with a selection tool.
Select by Hue, Saturation or Other Attributes
Sometimes you try to use Select by Color or Fuzzy Select, but it's just not picking the right part of the image. Recent versions of GIMP added a wonderful feature: you can select by Hue, Saturation or Value, or by the amount of Red, Green or Blue in the image (Figure 5).
The default, Composite, tries to "do the right thing", but for some images you can get a much better result by being more specific.

The owners enter into an agreement with the business. The agreement requires that, at the death of an owner, his or her share of the business will be sold back to the business.
With this agreement in place, the business buys individual insurance policies on the life of each owner. The purchase of life insurance ensures that funds will be available for the business to buy a deceased owner's stock.
When an owner dies, the owner's business interest passes to his or her heirs. The business collects the insurance proceeds from the insurer and uses that money to buy the business interest from the deceased owner's estate.
When the deceased owner's interest is bought back, each surviving owner's share of the business is increased proportionately.

Column: Uncertainty Surrounds South Dakota Budget Plan
PIERRE - There is a good deal of uncertainty surrounding the South Dakota budget at the moment. Some of it is routine. As usual at this time of year, economists from the Governor's office and the legislative Appropriations Committee are working together to estimate how much revenue the state will take in, and by extension how much is available to be spent. What is making their job atypical this time around is that no one knows how much to count on coming from Washington.
Here is the problem; South Dakota is a beneficiary state, meaning we pay less into the federal government, than we receive back from Washington, about $1.50 for every dollar paid in income taxes. This isn't a new situation, it has been the case for many years and taking advantage of this windfall is written into state budget policy. Of the $4.1 billion to be spent in the Governor's proposed budget, only $1.3 billion will come from the state's tax revenues. The lion's share of the rest is meant to come from federal money.
Right now though, predicting how much money will actually be making its way from Washington to Pierre is sheer guess work.
First there is the issue of the so-called sequester cuts. At least $85 billion of federal spending would be slashed for this year if they go on as planned, but how those cuts would play out is a decision that would be made by the heads of the various bureaucracies.
If some compromise is struck to avoid the sequester, it is anybody's guess what that deal would include, which again makes it tough for Pierre to make plans.
Finally, if federal spending is cut at or around the level of that proposed by the sequester agreement, the economy is likely to dip as a result. Such a downturn would mean that state revenues expected from sales taxes and such would also decline, further limiting the funds Pierre has at its disposal.
Most visibly on the bubble now is correcting the shameful situation of need based scholarships for South Dakota residents. As it stands, we are the only state in the nation that does not find a way to provide for would be students from low income families, and as a result they are nine times less likely to get a degree than their better off peers. The Governor's budget aims to take baby steps to remedy this, but will there be any funding for it?
Figuring out how much money will be available over the next fiscal year before that money has been collected is always an exercise of counting chickens before they hatch. However, this year it is complicated by the consequences of the "Cut, cut cut! No new taxes!" ideology finally coming home to roost.
The public interest of South Dakotans is being undercut by the state's reliance on federal money and its politicians' refusal to ask those who can afford to pay more to actually do so. Unfortunately, the same craven politics are playing out in the nation's capital; leaving those needed federal funds in question. Maybe it is time to reconsider South Dakota's tax policy and its dependence on Washington largesse.

Intel adds 'Wolfdale', 'Yorkfield' to desktop roadmap
45nm 'Penryn'-based parts due late 2007/early 2008
Intel's 45nm desktop dual-core processor will be codenamed 'Wolfdale' and appear in Q4, the latest roadmap slide to leak out of the chip giant has revealed. The part is based on 'Penryn', the 45nm incarnation of the Core 2 Duo architecture and the first platform to support SSE 4.
Alas, the slide, published by Chinese-language site HKEPC, simply says Wolfdale is a 45nm, dual-core part with a 65W TDP, as per the current generation of Core 2 Duos.
However, Reg Hardware readers with long memories may recall an early, December 2005 report on Intel's shift to 45nm which listed Wolfdale and Ridgefield, two 45nm desktop parts due early 2008 with 3MB and 6MB of L2 cache apiece.
Whatever happened to Ridgefield isn't known, but Wolfdale does appear to have finally made an appearance on product roadmaps - as, incidentally, has another codename from the early report, 'Yorkfield'. Then it was an eight-core CPU due 2008 - now it's a quad-core chip, it seems, which will push the Core 2 Quad family into the mainstream in early 2008. It's the 45nm successor to 'Kentsfield', Intel's current quad-core, 65nm design.
Again, there no specs are listed on the slide beyond a 95W TDP. Yorkfield's first mention, just over two years ago, claimed it would have 12MB of cache, but that seems unlikely now if it is indeed a quad-core chip. ®

Excellent! Please do...ReplyDelete
As a regular reader of Retro Treasures, I was pleasantly surprised to see my auction featured here! Thanks!ReplyDelete
And just for reference, I came across this particular Magnavox Odyssey 2 game at a local Goodwill...on a random shelf that wasn't even in the electronics section. Who knows how long it sat there since there aren't a lot of people who collect Odyssey 2 stuff. So keep your eyes peeled. These treasures are everywhere.
No, no, thank you! After all I've started keeping an eye on your quite brilliant auctions. Think you might start sending stuff worldwide?ReplyDelete

Tale" (PG, 2011), this fact-based marine animal saga will entertain all ages on all levels
"BIG MIRACLE," Rated PG — What a nice surprise. This true story, based on news accounts and a 1989 book, "Freeing the Whales" by Thomas Rose, could have been a treacly, unchallenging "family film." Instead, director Ken Kwapis and his team have created a sharply defined, lightly comic slice of Americana for anyone 10 and older to enjoy. It's about people who came together to rescue three gray whales in 1988. The leviathans are trapped under expanding winter ice off the coast of Barrow, Alaska, and the film drolly examines the political and philosophical fault lines of the Reagan era as different people collaborate to save them. It shines a particularly welcome light on native Alaskans. John Krasinski plays Adam Carlson, an ambitious Anchorage-based TV reporter whose story gets picked up by the network and seen in the White House. Soon there's tremendous pressure to save the whales. Adam's ex-girlfriend Rachel (Drew Barrymore) is a tireless activist with Greenpeace and makes a major fuss. An oil man (Ted Danson) seeking good PR pays for fuel so the Alaska National Guard can haul an ice-breaking barge to the site. Even a nearby Soviet ship gets into the act. A TV reporter from Los Angeles (Kristen Bell) thinks the story is her ticket to the networks. Everyone has an agenda, yet the people bridge their differences. What a concept.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The strongest element for kids under 10 will be the sheer suspense about whether the whales will survive and make it to the open sea. The script contains some salty language, and adults drink. SPOILER ALERT: Though it isn't shown, there is one whale death. We don't see it happen, but we do see the creature's injured snout and hear its labored breathing.
Daniel Radcliffe is a sympathetic protagonist in this shivery Victorian ghost story
"THE WOMAN IN BLACK," Rated PG-13 — Based on a novel by Susan Hill, this movie is a well-made throwback — a handsome rendering of a ghost story set in, of course, Victorian England. Many high-schoolers will revel in its rich atmosphere and shriek-inducing ghostly visits. That overall spookiness might be too much for middle-schoolers. In a chilling prologue, we see three little girls jump to their deaths from their playroom windows, seemingly hypnotized by the veiled, black-clad spirit of the title. Years later, mild-mannered attorney Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe, of "Harry Potter" fame) checks into that same room, now the attic of an inn, knowing nothing of what happened there. A grieving widower with a young son, Arthur has come to the village to go through the papers of a deceased dowager. Working in her musty manor, he glimpses the Woman in Black that the townsfolk fear. They believe whenever someone sees her, a child dies. This time a little girl succumbs after drinking lye, and the people blame Arthur. He is determined to get to the bottom of the ghostly mystery and is aided by the local rich man (Ciaran Hinds). The washed-out color and gorgeous settings lend great atmosphere, and Radcliffe is appropriately haunted by grief.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The film depicts ghostly and occasionally skeletal spirits — many of them dead children. In several scenes, children are led to their deaths by the Woman in Black. A spirit re-enacts a hanging suicide, and other flashbacks show a child drowned in a marsh. We see bloodied sheets where Arthur's wife died in childbirth. Characters drink.
Violence and emotional torment in this ingeniously made teen sci-fi drama pull the film into R territory
"CHRONICLE," Rated PG-13 — On a whim, three high-school guys explore an unusual cave in this cleverly made science fiction saga, and the telekinetic powers they develop after their exposure to the unearthly material they find there leads them first to fun and then to tragedy. A strong cast of young actors and clever visual effects created on a budget make "Chronicle" a totally absorbing adventure, but perhaps too violent and emotionally tortured for middle-schoolers, despite the PG-13 rating. Andrew (Dane DeHaan) is a friendless, introverted kid whose unemployed father (Michael Kelly) drinks and beats him up, and whose mother (Bo Petersen) lies terminally ill. After Andrew explores the cave with his thoughtful cousin Matt (Alex Russell) and popular high-school celeb Steve (Michael B. Jordan), he reacts to their newly acquired powers differently. While Steve and Matt enjoy making Legos float in the air, or moving a lady's car from one parking spot to another, Andrew can't stop himself from using telekinesis to express his anger. Once the three guys realize they can fly into the clouds, the action takes a darker turn.
THE BOTTOM LINE: As Andrew's unhappiness at home increases, he lashes out violently, and the results are bloody injuries and eventually mayhem and death. The violence — people thrown to their deaths, explosions, buildings wrecked — is not graphic, but loud, fast and upsetting. One incident involves an impalement. Characters use occasional profanity, and it's implied that teens drink beer at a party. Andrew's dad is usually drunk, with bottles all around. His mother is on oxygen and looks very ill.

Which of these players was drafted at a premium?
In my mind, the answer is "both of them".
One of the meatier passages in War Room comes in chapter 14, where Bill Belichick discusses the thought processes behind his selection of Sebastian Vollmer in 2009:
"Sebastian Vollmer is a good example", he says of the Patriots' starting right tackle, one of the team's four second-rounders in '09. "There's no way he was really a second-round pick. Based on film or really based on the player he was at the end of the '08 season. You know, East-West game and all that. We knew there would be an undertow of Vollmer. And it was just a question of, 'When's this guy going to go?'
"He should have been a fourth or fifth-round pick, by the film, by his performance. But you saw him as an ascending player and he had rare size, and there were a lot of things that you had to fix and all that. But it was clear the league liked him. Now, the question is always, "How much do they like him and where are they willing to buy?' I'm sure for some teams it was the fourth round. For some teams it was the third round. But we just said, 'Look we really want this guy. This is too high to pick him, but if we wait we might not get him, so we're going to step up and take him.'
"And sometimes when you do that you're right and sometimes when you do that you're wrong and everybody looks at you like, 'Damn, you could have had him in the fourth.'
The Patriots aren't the only team that practices the overdraft or the premium draft. If the Eagles really like someone, they tend to take them a round ahead of where he is commonly valued. Odd that teams that maintain plenty of draft picks practice this. Offhand, I can recall the Eagles doing this for Derrick Burgess (generally viewed as a fourth rounder). The Steelers have done this as well; they drafted Casey Hampton a full round above his common valuation.
In the 2012 draft class, players who appear to be attracting premium attention (we're a day before the draft, mind you) are Ryan Tannehill (late first by talent, thought to be going to Miami at #8), Stephon Gilmore (drafted #3 in a mock draft by Greg Cosell), Fletcher Cox (mid first talent, seen as high as #5 in respectable mocks), Kevin Zeitner (mid second round talent, often in mocks with Pittsburgh in the first round), Chandler Jones (appearing in the first in some mocks), and Mark Barron (some people claim he's the #7 now, often ranked as a mid first rounder).
If you feel you need the player, sometimes you have to just go out and get him.

Feds to seize Waterford home where couple grew pot
Waterford - Seth and Beth Marder are looking for a new place to live now that a federal judge has affirmed the government's intention to seize the couple's colonial-style home at 5 Reynolds Lane, where they were cultivating marijuana, they say, for their own medicinal use.
"The War on Drugs is a joke," said Seth Marder, 51, who suffers from mental and physical health conditions and claims marijuana is the only drug that makes him feel right.
Local and federal authorities raided the couple's home in 2009, seizing about 100 marijuana seedling plants, which the Marders call the "moms," or female plants, from a small laundry room off the kitchen, about 100 plants in various stages of growth in their barn-style garage, grow lights and other cultivation equipment. The government also said they seized packaging equipment, though the couple insists they never sold marijuana to anyone from their home, and about $5,000 in cash.
Their attorney, William T. Koch Jr., said the government's taking of the home is "hypocritical and excessive." He had argued at a trial in April that the forfeiture of the home is a violation of the U.S. Constitution's prohibition of excessive fines. He said the couple was willing to pay a fine but the government would not negotiate.
"I understand the forfeiture statutes if somebody is importing pounds of cocaine and heroin and buying mansions and cigarette boats in Palm Beach," Koch said in an interview Friday. "These are medical marijuana patients who were not bothering anyone."
Criminal charges brought
After the raid, the Marders faced criminal charges in state court and civil charges in federal court, where the government moved for forfeiture of the home, valued at $200,000, because the couple had violated the Controlled Substances Act. Beth Marder's criminal case was not prosecuted. Seth Marder pleaded guilty to cultivating marijuana without a license, a felony, and received a fully suspended prison sentence and three years probation.
For the next four years, the couple said in an interview at their home Friday, they lived with a sticker on the door that said the U.S. Marshals intended to seize the home and with the uncertainty of not knowing whether they would have to find another place to live. Seth Marder is unable to work due to his medical problems. Beth Marder said she teaches science to high school students online.
The government, in order to seize the property, had to prove that "there was a substantial connection between the property and the offense," while the Marders attempted to prove the forfeiture was constitutionally excessive because it is "grossly proportionate" to the offense.
In his July 25 decision, U.S. District Judge Charles S. Haight ruled that requiring the couple to forfeit the house does not violate the Excessive Fines clause of the Eighth Amendment but suggested the government reconsider now that it has prevailed in court.
"The Government, having achieved that litigation objective, may wish to consider whether, in the totality of the present circumstances, depriving the Marders of their home best serves the justice and wisdom of the cause," Haight wrote.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office said there would be no comment. Assistant U.S. Attorney David X. Sullivan had represented the government.
The Marders said they don't know where they will live if U.S. Marshals follow through with the intended seizure of the home on Aug. 16.
"We're out of Connecticut," Beth Marder said. "That much we know."
The Marders moved to Waterford from Yreka, Calif., in 2005 because it was halfway between Cape Cod, where Beth Marder's terminally ill mother was living, and Greenwich, where Seth Marder's mother lives.
The couple had legally grown marijuana for Seth Marder's use in California and sold the excess, legally, to marijuana clubs that distributed cannabis for medicinal purposes. Seth Marder suffers from chronic depression and bipolar disorder, and received a license to use marijuana when California legalized the drug for medicinal purposes in 1996. He estimates he made a total of $100,000 selling the marijuana to the clubs from 2000 to 2005.
He said he stopped smoking marijuana after the raid and has been taking pharmaceutical products, which he calls "crap" that does not ease his symptoms and has unpleasant side effects.
Beth Marder said she smoked marijuana recreationally but began using it for medicinal reasons after being diagnosed in December 2005 with chronic neurological Lyme disease. She, too, said she has stopped using marijuana.
Changing standards
At the trial in April, attorney Koch asked Judge Haight to be "on the right side of history," citing the "evolving standards" with respect to marijuana. He said Colorado and Washington have legalized marijuana and several other states, including Connecticut, now allow licensed consumers to use the drug for medicinal purposes.
"The future, if you want to be on the side of history, is when marijuana is going to become legal and the Government will make 10 times as much money taxing it," Koch argued.
The Marders had what Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Jon Rubinstein described at the trial as a "functioning, well thought-out, well-concealed producing grow" in their home, which is situated on a small lot on a dead end off Boston Post Road with other homes nearby.
The couple had blacked out the windows of their garage, because they said the plants need complete darkness for 12 hours a day, and had erected double walls for insulation and installed lighting and watering systems. Though the government was skeptical of the Marders' claim that they never sold marijuana from the property, Judge Haight wrote in his decision that he "accepted their testimony on this aspect of the case" because neither federal nor local authorities "took any follow-up investigatory steps to determine if the Marders were selling or distributing marijuana to others."

He claims to have shot 175 different commercials for a campaign for Forever Diamonds, starting at 8am and wrapping at 4.45pm yesterday (Thursday).
Kaye, who shot the films in Mount Pleasant Studio in London, is working with Lean Mean Fighting Machine, the creative agency on the campaign and Sacha Puttnam, composer and son of Lord David Puttnam, who is composing the score.
The Forever Diamonds campaign, which is creative directed by Sam Neil, a creative partner at Lean Mean Fighting Machine, is about "the personas of women", according to Kaye, and has a different actress in each execution. It was Kaye's idea to shoot a record-breaking number of ads on the day.
The films will appear online in the coming weeks and there are plans to feature them as part of an upcoming exhibition for Forever Diamonds.
Kaye has already been in the Guinness Book of World Records for an ad he created for Vauxhall Astra in 1996, by Lowe Howard-Spink, which had two thousand babies in it.
The director, whose feature films include American History X and most recently Detachment, was honoured at the D&AD 50th anniversary awards this week as its most awarded director of all time, a title he shared jointly with Frank Budgen.
He announced his return to UK advertising this summer after launching his own production shop Above The Sea.

"I like to get my skate on."
Her words, not mine.
Rice is currently a lead vocalist and performer in "Vegas! The Show," which just celebrated three years of memory-lane traipsing at Saxe Theater. But on Sunday afternoon, during the Golden Rainbow "Ribbon of Life" charity show, Rice is slipping on a pair of roller skates to perform the number "Roller Skate Rag" from the musical "Funny Girl."
"I skate whenever I can," Rice says. "I have my quads, my in-lines. I have a pair of prototypes that skiers use that allow me to skate over desert terrain."
Rice knows what it's like to wheel around a Vegas stage. She starred as Pearl in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Starlight Express" at the Las Vegas Hilton from 1993-97, a show remembered as prompting the theater overhaul from the days Elvis headlined at the hotel.
"I know some people who are serious roller skaters," Rice said. "I sometimes go to a place in Cerritos, (Calif.), called Skate Depot, where they have an adult skate on Thursdays. It's for people 25, and over and it plays old-school music from the '80s and '90s."
Sounds like a road trip waiting to happen.
Rice also is performing the slapstick "I'd Rather Be Blue" number in Sunday's show, which starts at 1 p.m. at Reynolds Hall. As usual, the show is packed with a wide assortment of talent famous in and out of Vegas. The co-headliners are Latin artist Jon Secada and 2009 "America's Got Talent" champion Michael Grimm, who has returned to the Las Vegas small-venue rotation he favored before auditioning for "AGT." Also on the bill for a show titled "Tributes," which indicates there will be tributes to many shows past and present, are Clint Holmes, Josh Strickland, George Wallace, Frankie Moreno, Mo5aic, the Las Vegas Tenors, The Phat Pack and Celebrity City Chorus, members of Human Nature, the cast of "Jubilee!" and more members of "Vegas! The Show."
It's a long-running show but also one of the grooviest events in VegasVille. "Ribbon of Life" has bounced around, from Jubilee Theater to the L.V. Hilton to The Smith Center for the first time a year ago. That show drew a record-setting crowd of 1,630 and took in an all-time high of more than $200,000 for the HIV/AIDS nonprofit organization. Tickets start at $38 and are available at The Smith Center website.
• By the fall, Lorena Peril's run in "Fantasy" at the Luxor will be gone like, well, greased lighting. She's to play Sandy in a touring production of "Grease." She and her hubby (and Pleasant Valley High School of Chico, Calif., grad) Ray Jon Narbaitz are both in the show, as Ray Jon is portraying Vince Fontaine. Peril's run in "Fantasy" started in August 2010 when she replaced Angelica Bridges as the show's singer (Bridges stepped in for the singer with the longest tenure in the show, Stephanie Dianna Sanchez, who was with the production for nine years).
Show producer Anita Mann is now on the hunt for a new vocalist, who will take over as part of updates to the show that will be in place by early October. One candidate is already in the show: Maren Wade, formerly of the ill-fated production "iCandy" at Saxe Theater, is subbing for Peril now. But it is a torrid time for great female vocalists in the city; I can't recall an era when there were so many top-level singers in Las Vegas. Mann is facing an enviable dilemma: finding which one is the right fit for her show. She struck gold with Peril, and there's no doubt she will be missed. But the search, officially, is on to find the show's next singer.
And on that topic …
• Celine Dion and Rene Angelil have thrown some spondulicks behind the "Voices" show starring Veronic DiCaire at Bally's. Thus, the support of Dion and Angelil is more than a tacit endorsement of a woman who has opened for Celine on Celine's most recent world tour. Dion and Angelil are partners with DiCaire and her husband, Remon Boulerice. AEG Live (which produces and promotes Celine's show at The Colosseum) has a joint partnership with those two couples, and all share in whatever money is to be made from the show.
The show premiered Thursday night in Jubilee Theater. The disembodied voice Veronic speaks to at the beginning and end of the show is that of "Rock of Ages" star Mark Shunock. It used to be said that the sun never sets on the British Empire. Now the sun never sets on Shunock, at least in VegasVille. Get to know him. There is no other choice.
• The MDA has announced a partnership with ABC for its upcoming fundraising broadcast and has managed to hit the keys that add up to "Jerry Lewis" when asked for comment. The MDA fundraiser will be broadcast exclusively on ABC (KTNV Channel 13 in Vegas) at 9 p.m. Sept. 1. The show is to last for two hours. Host and performers are still being assembled, and the show will again be produced by Rac Clark, most recently in town for the American Country Music Awards telecast.
When asked if Lewis would be at all honored in the spectacle, MDA publicist Roxan Olivas said in a statement: "Jerry Lewis is part of the rich tradition and history of this telethon. MDA is forever grateful for the time and the support he devoted to MDA for more than 50 years."
And, no, there are no plans to include him in this year's show.
And on the topic of ABC …
• On a June 21 appearance on KTNV's live "Action News at Midday" show, co-host Casey Smith joked about all the offensive tattoos inked on the limbs of his guest, Vinyl headliner and "Jackass" star Steve-O. One of those tattoos is too obscene to be broadcast on network TV, and Steve-O was given a jacket to wear during his interview with Tom Green (the nature of the tattoo is male and sexual).
"Why would you get a tattoo like that?" Smith asked.
"It's actually one of many offensive tattoos I have," Steve-O responded, accurately, his ink concealed under someone else's jacket. His very being is designed to both amuse and offend.

The point is valid, but I think that just about everybody agrees that the basic intention behind "designed to support machine-to-machine ..." is extremely important. That's essentially what separates Web services from ugly things like screen scraping Web sites. I personally do not think that the current phrasing implies that it can't be used on the same machine -- just that the common usage pattern is different machines. Recall, however, that I essentially brought up the same point objecting to introducing the word "remote" into the definition. I think that removing "machine-to-machine" altogether would be a very bad idea, but some sort of recognition somewhere that interactions on the same machine are "OK" would be useful. I don't think that anybody would object to a specific Web service implementation that, for some good reason, was not actually exposed to other machines. The potential would exist, of course, to expose it -- one can just turn that off if appropriate. Doesn't this sort of come under the security umbrella? That is, controlling the scope to which the service is exposed, with one extreme being no network exposure whatsoever? -----Original Message----- From: Brian Connell [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 10:43 AM To: David Booth; email@example.com Subject: RE: Draft definition of WS Hi, I have an issue I would like to raise with the phrase 'machine-to-machine'. > A Web service is a software system, designed to support > machine-to-machine interaction over a network, This implies that a Web service is not designed to be used if the software systems are interacting on the same machine (even using the same processor). Can I suggest that we remove the 'machine-to-machine' term altogether, or that we further qualify the word 'interaction' in a way that includes software systems on the same 'machine'.

Working with Globalstudio was a very nice experience, my first time involved in a project for a website and they listened carefully to all our needs and what we expected, had an incredible patience for discussing all my doubts and questions about managing it and wisely combined our vision and their experience. The support after the finishing is excellent and always available, definitely recommend them.

This homestay is modern but traditional Indian bungalow. Its name refer to the courtyard where guests were entertained in the Rajput homes of the past. The house is run by Aparajeeta and her husband Sandeep. Photos of ancestors all round the house illustrate the distinguished past of the family: Sandeep's family is the original descendents of the last Hindu emperor and his ancestors ran the principality of Neemrana. Aparajeeta is a princess of Madhya Pradesh. The couple is interesting and vibrant: Aparajeeta takes part in car rallies and Sandeep is a policeman who used to work for the current President of India. He is also a student of the history of religions and has written papers on social reform.Read more

German Newspaper Publishers Want Copyright On Headlines And Full Control Over Content
from the this-ought-to-be-fun deptBack in November, we had noted with concern that Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel was signalling her willingness to approve special new copyright laws that would give new monopolies to newspapers, massively increasing their ability to control any part of their works online. It looks like that process is moving forward. Glyn Moody points us to an analysis of the current proposal that would massively expand copyright monopolies specifically to protect some legacy business models, but with no concern at all for encouraging actual creativity. The proposal would create new rights for scientific publishing, photographs, public performances and more. Where it gets scary is when they talk about giving newspapers the right to control their headlines. Think of this as the "anti-Google News" clause:
It looks as if publishers might really be lobbying for obtaining a new exclusive right conferring the power to monopolise speech e.g. by assigning a right to re-use a particular wording in the headline of a news article anywhere else without the permission of the rights holder. According to the drafts circulating in the internet, permission shall be obtainably exclusively by closing an agreement with a new collecting society which will be founded after the drafts have matured into law. Depending on the particulars, new levies might come up for each and every user of a PC, at least if the computer is used in a company for commercial purposes.Even more incredible? Some are arguing that these proposals don't go nearly far enough:
Well, obtaining monopoly protection for sentences and even parts of sentences in a natural language appears to be some kind of very strong meat. This would mean that publishers can control the wording of news messages. This comes crucially close to private control on the dissemination of facts.
Mr Castendyk concludes that even if the envisaged auxiliary copyright protection for newspaper language enters into law, the resulting additional revenue streams probably would be insufficient to rescue the publishing companies. He then goes a step further and postulates that publishing companies enjoy a quasi-constitutional guantee due to their role in the society insofar the state has the obligation to maintain the conditions for their existence forever. As I'm not a constitutional lawyer I won't comment this here but, with all due respect, I would not be very much surprised if such sentence turns out to be lobbyist speech. Utilising the leveraging effect of this postulated quasi-constitutional guarantee, Castendyk demands to amend cartel law in order to enable a global 'pooling' of all exclusive rights of all newspaper publishers in Germany in order to block any attempt to defect from the paywall cartell by single competitor as discussed above.Yes, the recommendation is to not just grant every newspaper publisher copyright on small snippets of words and headlines, but to then also force them all into a cartel that will put up paywalls, with no ability to get around the paywall. Talk about killing the news...

Hey there,
My name is Bill and I love to play World of Warcraft more than anything else. I'm proud to say that I have been a WoW gamer since release.
As you probably know, one of the biggest challenges in WoW is gaining gold. Gold is needed for everything, from gear, to consumables, to materials, to mounts. Over the years I have read and tested all the gold guides out there. Some of the guides are decent but many are just not worth it.
That's why I decided to create my own personal reviews for the top wow gold guides that I have used, to hopefully save anyone else time and money.
Realize that these reviews are from my own personal experiences, and thus are only my own personal opinion and preferences.
Of course you're FREE to choose whatever you want...
Here is my list for the top WoW gold guides:
My top recommendation is Warcraft Wealth. If you were to get only one guide, you cannot go wrong with this one. However, if you are an enthusiast (like me), you can purchase all three of these guys because they are worth the money.
This is a screenshot of my gold taken on August 8, 2008. I have amassed this gold from using the guides listed above as well as my own techniques. In addition to this surplus of gold, I also have epic flying mounts on 3 level 70 characters.
Trust me, these guides work!
