Since the death of Messiaen, Henri Dutilleux has been widely regarded as the Grand Old Man of contemporary French music, and this Wigmore Hall celebration culminated in the presentation of the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal to the still-active 92-year-old composer.
The programme, by an augmented Nash Ensemble, interspersed three Dutilleux items with music by three of the composers who have meant most to him. The opener was Stravinsky's crisp, acidulated Concerto in D for string orchestra (1946), in a reading under Jan Pascal Tortelier so intent that one heard the collective intake of breath as the players attacked the next scrunchy phrase.
Dutilleux's own curious Diptyque – Les Citations (1985/91) followed, its first movement a birthday tribute to Peter Pears and quoting Britten's Peter Grimes, its second a memorial to the French organist and composer Jehan Alain – though one wondered whether even Dutilleux's refined ear always quite managed to integrate its odd line-up of oboe, harpsichord, double bass and percussion.
No such question about his string quartet Ainsi la nuit (1973-76), a sequence of tiny movements encompassing some of the most exquisitely sensitised flights of nuance and texture. Marianne Thorsen led her three Nash colleagues in a marvellously volatile account, responding to the work's moments of underlying violence. She returned with cellist Paul Watkins to give as passionate a reading of Ravel's extended Sonata for violin and cello (1920-22).
After a moment of calm, as Philippa Davies delivered a perfectly formed account of Debussy's Syrinx (1913) for solo flute, the stage refilled for Dutilleux's Mystère de l'instant (1989) in its revised form for 18 strings, cimbalom and percussion. The varying densities of the textures, the gestural fluctuations of vehemence and calm seemed to come more frequently and unpredictably than in the string quartet – the full, fiercely intense sonority of vibrant strings, clangorous cimbalom and reverberant percussion almost overwhelming in the modest spaces of the Wigmore Hall. The audience response was warm and prolonged.

From Christmas fun to enjoying the winter wonderland of nature, the winter months have plenty of places to be inspired for a baby boy name.
The name Winter (you can also spell it Wynter) is a unique and cool name choice for a baby boy. Aquilo is a name from Roman mythology that means the North wind. Other variations of this name include Aqulino and Aquillo.
Yas is a baby boy name of Native American (Navajo) origin that means Snow. Another option is Yasligai, which is Snow White.
Nevada is a baby boy names that is Spanish in origin and means Snow-clad. Another unique option is the name Snowden, which is a boy name of English origin that means "from the snowy hill."
Let the beautiful snow-capped scenery inspire you to find a winter boy name. For instance, Frost and Snow are both cool names that would be great when used as middle names. You might want to avoid the name Frosty, as images of "Frosty the Snowman" instantly come to mind.
North, after the North Star, could make an interesting moniker for a baby boy, as would winter weather destinations such as Aspen or Vale.
Nicholas or Nick (after good ole' Jolly St. Nick) are traditional boy names, as is Gabriel -- as in the Angel who told Mary she was pregnant. Joseph, Mary's husband, is another good name choice -- along with Malachi.
Christian is a baby boy names that is French in origin and means, "Christian." Noel is another Christmas inspired boy name that is French in origin and actually means Christmas!
Christiano is a boy name of Spanish origin that also means Christian, while the name Christoph is a boy name English in origin that means "he who holds Christ in his heart."
The Three Kings who brought the gifts to baby Jesus were named:
You can also consider the name Michael, who is the angel of love and family.

Hosting |
If you're an established blogger who knows your way around the biblical studies related blogs (dare I say, "biblioblog"), you may volunteer to host a future Biblical Studies Carnival. Email the coordinator either at biblical_studies_carnival AT hotmail.com or at the email noted in the footer. Please note that the Carnival coordinator has absolute discretion in approving, assigning and scheduling Carnival hosts. Hosting requires some work, but it also highlights your own blog in the process. The goal is to rotate the Carnivals among a variety of different people. The only additional requirement is to ensure that full contact details for the next host are included in your Carnival and to send the coordinator an email immediately after posting the Carnival so that this page can be kept up to date. Some Hosting Tips Hosting a carnival takes a fair amount of work, though I have found it very rewarding. If you work ahead and are vigilant in nominating good posts you read throughout the month, then it is far easier. Here are some tips and instructions. You should make sure to advertise the carnival on your own blog a couple times before you upload it. It works out great to mention the fact you are hosting the next carnival when you post on the carnival just before yours. I also find that a mid month reminder and a "last call" a few days before also help. The following information should be in your announcement posts:

A balmy, sun kissed day calls for a day at the beach. Think of lying on the warm sand, basking in the sun then when it all gets too hot, cool off with a quick dip in the ocean. Indulge in a icy, fruit-flavoured gelati, before heading back to finish of the afternoon on a sun drenched deck. I truly wonder if it gets any better than that!

Mesa Mormon-Scammers Duane Slade, Brent Williams and Guy Williams Sentenced to Prison
Duane Slade
Image: mathonconservatorship.com
A trio of top-tier scam artists from Mesa who preyed on wealthy Mormons will spend a large part of their lives in prison.
Duane Hamblin Slade and his pal Guy Andrew Williams, both in their mid-40s, were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jack Zouhary on September 30th to 15 and 12.5 years, respectively. Williams' father, Brent Williams, received a 7.5-year sentence.
While these are relatively hefty prison terms for white-collar criminals, the damage they did was tremendous: Most of the $160 million investors trusted with these high-rolling confidence men has disappeared.

Slade and his partners ran a classic Ponzi scheme from 2002 to 2005, investigations showed.
On the surface, the "Mathon" companies ran a company that gave short-term loans to third-party companies and individuals. But the companies were really designed to allow Slade and the Williams family to receive millions in "management fees," plus money pilfered or "borrowed" from bank accounts that contained their investors' money. The group paid off the early investors in the ventures with money from the newest investors. When clients grew suspicious, they'd be shown accounting documents that made the companies appear financially fit.
James Sell, a Waddell CPA appointed trustee to the Mathon Conservatorship formed to help victims recover some of the stolen funds, wrote in a 2005 report that the loan companies used Enron-style accounting practices to hide poorly performing assets and make it look as though their companies were flush with cash. The slick thieves lied to their targets, sometimes close friends, and created fictitious companies and documents to help close deals. Even reasonably savvy investors were fooled.
More than a dozen people were taken for more than $1 million each. Victims included former Dallas Cowboys star Danny White, who lost a more-minimal amount of about $83,000. At least 255 investors participated, the majority being Mormons from Arizona, Utah and Nevada, according to documents on Sells' website.
As the millions rolled in, Slade spent a huge amount of his time in Las Vegas casinos, living it up and gambling away his investors' funds. Records show Slade spent 83 separate days of gambling in 2004 at at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. He placed bets of about $2.2 million from January 2002 to early 2005, about the time the Arizona Corporation Commission shut down the Mathon companies. Bellagio wasn't the only casino he liked, either.
Slade will dream of those days in the years to come as he's playing cards with the boys.
The sentencing hearings for the three have been a long time in coming. A comprehensive article in the Arizona Republic back in December of 2005 outlined the crimes after the ACC made its move against the companies, but the men weren't indicted on 40 counts related to the crimes until 2009.
In January, a hung jury in Slade's trial delayed justice even longer. His lawyer, Dennis Wilenchik, who helped former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in his ethically corrupt, 2007 attack on the Phoenix New Times, published an article on his law firm's website stating he was confident Slade would be acquitted by another jury if there was a retrial. But Slade pleaded guilty in early June when the government forced another trial.
Brent and Guy Williams were found guilty by a federal jury a few weeks later.
All three must serve terms of supervised probation when they're released. Restitution amounts have yet to be determined.
A fourth defendant, Russelll Laurence Sewell, received a term of three months' probation in the fraud.
The Mathon conservatorship site states that, as a group, investors have received 37.6 percent of their initial investment back.

Aside from teaching its audience about the wily world of NYC real estate (via brokers Fredrik Eklund, Michael Lorber and Ryan Serhant), Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing New York" (next episode: tomorrow night) also imparts peripheral knowledge on a variety of subjects: fashion, science, entertainment and geography to name a few....
Mainly, I just watch the show for the ties (see #12 below). Here's what else I've noticed:
- So far I've learned a lot about geography. Not just about NYC's complicated areas (like where exactly the divide between Chinatown and Tribeca is), but also where Namibia is and what some of its unusual exports are (namely marble). In one scene, just before showing off an apartment and bragging of its Namibian marble, Michael admits to his driver that he just learned where Namibia is. The driver--whose wife works at the U.N.--says he's known all along.
- Never allow your seller to be present when a buyer is viewing a home. No good can ever come of it. Related: People are annoying and tend to talk too much. Take for example the time Fredrik showed an apartment in Battery Park City's Visionaire building. When the potential buyer comments that it would be a big move from the West Village, Jon, the seller, pipes up: "The West Village, why the F*&^ would you want to live there?" Nice.
- Sellers can get a higher price for nifty gadgets like talking toilets or clothing panic rooms accessed only by fingerprint scan. Also increasing value: Key to Gramercy Park, original crown moldings, German sound-resistant windows, original herringbone floors, and exotic materials such as the aforementioned Namibian marble.
- Sure to decrease the price: An outdated kitchen.
- It is rumored Bravo will be giving Fredrik's shoulder tattoo its own spinoff show. I'd like to think it'll be called: "Double Helix."
- Watching "Million Dollar Listing" makes a great drinking game. Take a shot every time one of the brokers is shirtless or in a state of semi-undress. Extra points for bare feet or armpits.
- Brokers are often willing to kick in a portion of their commission to get a deal done (and done quicker).
- It is gauche and de classe to take out one's credit card before even asking for the check (thanks awkward Michael Lorber date!).
- A good broker submits your offer immediately, before going away on one of his many weekend getaways (again, we're looking at you Michael Lorber!).
- A good broker is not afraid to break up with a client if they have unrealistic expectations about sale price.
- Counter. You always gotta counter. That's a lesson for both buyers and sellers.
- We saw that real estate is about numbers, but surprisingly not just about money or properties. I counted 39 ties, ranging in width and style, worn by the three stars in just the first episode alone. With only three properties highlighted, that is an average of 13 ties per property. I await the possibility of an ascot later in the season. (For those drinking at home, any ascot sighting warrants a double shot.)
- Fashion--and not just neckwear--plays a big role in NYC real estate, whether it's Michael's $500 swim trunks or one's assistant donning school-marm glasses to go with her severe leather shoulder-padded jacket. Double shot if she brandishes a whip on a future episode. It looks as if it might be headed that way and Ryan could use a beating at times.
- Music is situational: It is perfectly acceptable for Ryan to strum a guitar in the office and sing badly, but it is not so to blast music at a broker's open house-cum-frat party (or at least according to Fredrik).
- There are a bunch of animals in this city, literally. Ryan's snake eats a live mouse, while downtown a wallaby can't catch a break. We learned pet spas (and even pet-friendly buildings) discriminate against kangaroos. What we didn't learn--and I was dying to--was how one handles a pet kangaroo's bathroom needs. Does Ryan's client, Alex, walk Indy and, if so, is he on a leash or does he allow the 'roo to hop along side him? Or are kangaroos trainable to use a massive litter box?

Third Annual Spring Tea a Success!
Our Third Annual Spring Tea Fundraiser on Saturday, June 4 was a success and made a profit of $1,107 for the Library. It was a joint project of the Board of Trustees and the Friends of the FPL with the assistance of the Library Staff. The event was held in the Seward Senior Center next to the Library and although the day was very sunny and humid, it was delightfully cool inside. Over forty guests, some dressed with elaborate, fancy hats, including a large contingent from the Red Hat Society, enjoyed an afternoon of delicious food, assorted teas, companionship and entertainment.
Each lace-covered table featured vintage patterned china or Depression glass settings, heirloom embroidered napkins and colorful bouquets of garden and wild flowers. Guests were waited on by members of the S.S. Seward National Honor Society who busily offered a selection of teas and delivered steaming pots of hot water to each table. A buffet table offered a selection of savory sandwiches and treats, such as ham and brie with honey mustard, chicken almond salad in bread baskets, smoked salmon in mini shells (and more) and a variety of sweet treats, including fruit scones with clotted cream and lemon curd, pecan tarts, mini cheesecakes and fresh strawberries (and more.) A loose tea bar to design one's own custom blend was also available.
Alex Sarki, a Florida resident and FPL patron, gave an intriguing talk about tea customs in her mother's British family and her husband's Uzbek and Turkish families. Listeners were fascinated by Alex's description of the cultural heritage and rituals of her American Islamic family, both in "the old country" and in America.
The Tea concluded with a fast-paced and suspenseful drawing, conducted by Trustee Beth Pskowski, for the numerous baskets and gift certificates donated by local merchants and individuals. We appreciate their support! Donors included: Amity Arts Pottery, Copper Bottom, Down2Earth, ShopRite of Warwick, ShopRite of Chester, Northern Bear, Janet's Baked Goods, The Old Vine, Franico's Pizzeria, Scissor's Hair Salon, New Beginning's Spa, Roe Brothers, Inc., Noble Pies, Walden Savings Bank, and individuals – Diane Arcieri, Hakimah Al-Zahra, Ashley Baroch, Chesley Leber, Meg Sgombick, Marie Arnstein.
Our volunteer chefs included Shirley Coughlin, Beth Pskowski, Barbara Draimin, Diane Arcieri, Leigh Patton and Madelyn Folino. Leigh and Caroline Califf ably managed the kitchen, while Al Beers, Bill Kelemen and Mark Ng did the heavy work of set-up and breakdown. Our teen servers were Emily DeJong, Ashley Gallagher, Breanne Kovatch, Sara Kovatch and Olivia Nicholson. Thank you, all!
In case you missed the Tea, we still have some individual teabags in pretty, petite envelopes imprinted with memorable quotes from favorite books. These are on sale at the front desk. You can also catch our display of tea settings in our glass cabinet through June and don't forget to look for the poster with photos of classic silver teapots from the Picturing America series.

So are their opponents in Friday's season opener, the Houston Astros.
The two National League clubs will be at Citizen's Bank Park in Philly for a 10:05 a.m. (PT) first pitch on ESPN, assuming the weather cooperates. Charlie Manuel gives the ball to last year's NL Cy Young winner Roy Halladay to get things rolling, with Brad Mills sending former Phillie Brett Myers to the mound for Houston.
The Phillies will open play with second baseman Chase Utley (knee injury), rookie outfielder Domonic Brown (hand) and closer RP Brad Lidge (shoulder) on the DL. There has been no timetable set for Utley's return, while Brown could return by mid-to-late April after surgery on a broken bone in his right hand. He was expected to take over in right this year for Jayson Werth who bolted for Washington via free agency on the Scott Boras Express.
Lidge's sore shoulder has turned into a torn rotator cuff. He's out at least through mid-June, and could miss the entire season. Veteran Jose Contreras, who turned 39 this offseason, is expected to get the majority of the save opportunities while Lidge is out.
Houston also suffered several bad bites from the spring injury bug, first losing starting catcher Jason Castro (knee) for the season. Clint Barmes, acquired from Colorado during the winter, was plunked on the left hand by the Yankees' Ivan Nova during a recent exhibition game and will likely miss all of April. Angel Sanchez will take Barmes' place at short.
In his final Grapefruit League start before the season, lefty J.A. Happ suffered a strained oblique and is not expected to answer the call in Sunday's series finale against his former club who dealt him to get Roy Oswalt last July. No official word yet on who might take his place in the rotation though Ryan Rowland-Smith is a very likely candidate.
But enough about the players that won't be part of Friday's action.
Halladay certainly made an impression in his first NL season after 12 years with Toronto in the American League. From a perfect game in late-May versus Florida to the no-hitter against Cincinnati in the NLDS, he was as dominant and consistent a pitcher as you could find.
The Phils were 22-11 in his 33 regular seasons starts, 2-1 in the postseason. In front of the home fans with Halladay on the hill, Philly was 14-6 including a pair of postseason starts. One of those six defeats came to these Astros in late-August, 3-2, long balls from Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn doing the damage.
Myers was also incredibly consistent for Houston in 2010, his first with the Astros after spending eight campaigns with the Phillies. The former first-round pick lasted at least six innings in 32 of his 33 assignments, the one exception his final start of the season when he worked 5-2/3 innings.
His lone start versus the Phillies in 2010 came in August, another 3-2 Houston victory thanks to a late 2-run single by Carlos Lee. The Astros were 20-13 overall in his 33 starts while Myers fashioned a 3.14 ERA and worked the fifth-most innings in the NL (223-2/3).
Myers' last two seasons with Philadelphia saw him make 19 starts at Citizens Bank Park. The Phils only won six of those outings despite Myers posting a respectable 3.42 ERA in a park known as hitter-friendly.
The two clubs took turns pulling off road sweeps against each other in 2010. Bettors who got on board for all four of Houston's wins in Philly last August are probably still counting their money after the 'Stros won the games as 165, 240, 310 and 155 underdogs on the MLB money line. That was payback and then some for the Phils' early-April sweep in Houston that was capped by Halladay besting Oswalt in a 2-1 duel.
After all of the talk about the Phillies pitchers this winter, Mother Nature might actually throw the first curveball of their season. The current forecast calls for chilly conditions, a 50 percent chance of a rain/snow mix on Friday and an afternoon high at 50ºF. Saturday's weather should be dryer, but not much warmer.
A battle of southpaws is expected in Game 2 of the series. Cliff Lee is slated for the Phils against Houston's Wandy Rodriguez. Game 3 was to have been the Happ-Oswalt battle, but Happ has been scratched.

GM Ignition Switch Blamed in Suit for Cobalt Deaths
Patrick G. LeeGeneral Motors Co., facing lawsuits in the U.S. and Canada over faulty ignition switches, was served with what may be the first wrongful-death suit since the company recalled 1.6 million vehicles in February, in a case involving two fatalities in a 2006 car crash, a law firm said.
The lawsuit was filed today in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, according to the firm. The filing couldn't immediately be confirmed in court records.
Bob Hilliard, one of the lawyers who filed the case, said in an interview that his clients are seeking $50 million to $100 million, as well as punitive damages. The suit accuses the carmaker of negligence in designing and manufacturing the switch, Hilliard said. The dealership that sold the car and the car's owner, a relative of the driver, were also named in the suit.
Seventeen-year-old Megan Phillips was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt with two friends in Wisconsin when the ignition switch moved to the "accessory" position and cut power to the car, according to a copy of the complaint provided by the law firm. The Cobalt veered off the road, hit a telephone junction box and two trees and the air bags didn't deploy, according to the complaint. Phillips was seriously injured and her two passengers were killed, according to the complaint.
Twelve Deaths
GM has said it identified 12 deaths in connection with the recall of more than one million vehicleswith defective switches made in the mid-2000s, including some Chevrolet Cobalts and HHRs as well as Opel, Pontiac and Saturn models. The two fatalities in Hilliard's suit are among those 12, according to his firm, Hilliard Munoz Gonzales LLP in Corpus Christi, Texas.
GM this week recalled 1.55 million vans, sedans and sport-utility vehicles, citing concerns over brakes, seat belts and air bags, adding to the 1.6 million cars recalled over the faulty ignition switches.
Last week, Hilliard filed a proposed class action, or group lawsuit, against the automaker in Texas seeking as much as $10 billion to compensate GM car owners for the diminished value of vehicles affected by the recall. At least two similar suits in California and Michigan have since been filed by other firms.
Similar Failure
Investigators documented the 2006 Wisconsin accident and identified a failure similar to one cited by GM in its February recalls, according to a report commissioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Greg Martin, a spokesman for Detroit-based General Motors, declined to comment on specific lawsuits.
An investor sued GM and Chief Executive Officer Mary T. Barra today in federal court in Detroit, saying the failure to address the switch matter in a timely fashion hurt the company's stock.
GM as currently constituted is protected from claims over deaths or economic losses occurring before the so-called old GM emerged from bankruptcy in July 2009. The new GM also renounced any punitive damages associated with the old GM. Challenging its immunity for any pre-reorganization crashes would require asking the judge who oversaw the historic U.S.-backed bankruptcy to reconsider its terms.
The time to revoke court orders dating from GM's bankruptcy "has long past," according to the automaker's bankruptcy lawyer, Harvey Miller of Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP.
Full Extent
GM's creditors diligently examined its liabilities and potential exposure for possible torts, he said in an earlier interview. "No pertinent information was withheld from the court during the GM Chapter 11 case," he said.
Hilliard said GM shouldn't be shielded from liability for the pre-2009 crash because at the time of its reorganization, the company didn't present the full extent of its ignition-switch liabilities.
"It would be a heartless decision if they told the victims: 'Yes this is our fault, yes we're responsible, yes we covered it up for over a decade, and yes we are going to stand behind the shield of bankruptcy,'" Hilliard said in an interview today.
To persuade U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber to reopen the case, Hilliard would need to prove that the old GM had knowingly deceived the court, said Chip Bowles, a bankruptcy lawyer at Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP in Louisville, Kentucky, who wasn't involved in the GM liquidation.
Set Aside
"A few bankruptcy cases have been set aside for fraud on the court, but you have to establish deliberate fraud and concealment," said Bowles, a former board member of the American Bankruptcy Institute.
"GM is focused on ensuring the safety and peace of mind of our customers involved in the recall," the company said in a statement. "It is true that new GM did not assume liability for claims arising from incidents or accidents occurring prior to July 2009. Our principle throughout this process has been to put the customer first, and that will continue to guide us."
Martin, the GM spokesman, declined to say whether the statement would encompass victims of pre-bankruptcy incidents.

Jodie Foster on Plastic Surgery
Academy Award winning actress Jodie Foster has recently spoke out on her views of plastic surgery. According to Actress Archives.com:
She tells American magazine More, "It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it.
"For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose,' than 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.'
"I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am."
Hmm... What about the rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and facelift that she's had???
just kidding.

Scar, schmar. That is one incredibly gorgeous woman. - 12:48 AM

Man, you had me for a second. Jodie Foster can do whatever the hell she wants, she's the queen.
ok so she explicitly states that anyone who has plastic surgery is ashamed of themselves. Knowing how intelligent she is, I think she may regret that comment. You just can't generalise like that. People would have plastic surgery for a variety of reasons.
I don't believe she's had anything done. She's aging well but you can see her eyelids hooding naturally. It looks fine however because she's very attractive to begin with. - 1:27 AM

- Stephen Perteet said...
Thanks for the update. The thing I cared about the most is the Matchmade games start fix.
I'm tired of sitting in lobbies longer than I play the game. - 12:16 AM
- Chris said...
As for the older PS3 consoles crashing, I have an older 80GB PS3 and mine never crashed. And just to let you know, I never abused my console and never overplayed it. Though my friend also has an 80GB PS3 and I brought Twisted Metal over to play, and his console crashed after we beat the Grimm's Brothers right before Sweet Tooth's ending. And his PS3 has been overplayed many times and more abused than mine. So the tech guys are probably right.
- LostRonin said...
Good to know the networking issues are being ironed out and of course they should be a priority.
However the story mode issues really bug me but I am that 1 guy that plays story/campaign like 5 times before I even jump in multiplayer. Specifically the audio cutting out/in after prolonged play.
But hey, I can patiently wait. I'd never sell my copy of Twisted Metal. I'd take it to the grave.
Thanks for always helping to create some of the most fun games i've played in my 28 years of life. - 1:40 AM
- Hemant said...
Twisted metal is back with a bang! Guys at Sony have revamped it with enhanced features like car combat multiplayer, twisted arsenal, extreme scale and destruction - all these cool options take it to new levels of wild driving experience. Coolest bit is that you can create your own weapon of mass destruction. Whoa!

Great news. You know you are playing on the last letter of a hangman game here, so hopefully it works and stays working (knock on wood). As for the old PS3 crash troubles, I have an idea, not sure if feasible, but would it help to alleviate the load on those (and all) consoles if you could create some kind of "optional install"? I know this stuff has been presented in patches before (i.e. Bayonetta), so maybe it's worth a look. Cheers, your game is great!
- NickM said...
Sorry your masterpeice is getting all F'd up Jaffe, been a fan of this game since the 1st game in grade school. I got this game the day that it came out. I will be waiting to see the patch come out. However on my system I can't even login at all, ever since I got the game (and the demo) mine will get all the way to "opening connections with the plyaer statistics server" then say unable to connect? Don't know if that is what all the rage is about.
- Miggy11 said...
I don't know if you read your comments on here, but I don't have a twitter account. Anyways here are my thoughts on nuke.
Nuke is definitely my favorite mode in the game because it requires the most teamwork, but there are some glaring issues with it.
1.Not enough XP for objectives: This makes leveling while only playing nuke a pain. You can get 900xp in a match of team deathmatch which takes 10 minutes, but a game of nuke lasts upwards of 30 minutes and its hard to achieve 500 XP.
2.Too long: 5 min rounds are way to long, 3-4 min would better. The length might be fine the way it is if it wasn't for my point.
3.Quitters or disconnects ruin it: Please allow players to join mid game, it would save this mode. - 9:19 AM
- MarinoB said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- MarinoB said...
As Miggy11 said, you've got to allow mid-game joining, quitters ruin Ranked TEAM games. It doesn't take much to ruin a game, just one quitter can make the game unbalanced in a second, this has to be fixed. It worked for Warhawk and TM seems to be using the same system.
Also, TEAM games are being allowed to start while the number of players is unbalanced between teams! That's just wrong and needs an urgent fix. It's also possible to leave a room once the game is already on the Start countdown, so games made be balanced at one moment and the next second it's a complete mess that can't be remedied in-game since there aren't mid-game joins! - 9:41 AM
- Graham said...
Hey Jaffe, things are getting better. Only got disconnected once and I played in three rooms for about two hours.
Hopefully this patch will nix that in the bum.
Also, my PS3 (which isn't even a year old, got a new one cause my old one is pretty much dead) crashed as well. I clean it every couple of weeks, so I don't know, maybe it was just an anomaly, but just something I thought you should know about.
Also, voice chatting is incredibly spotty right now.
Overall, love the game and will be playing this until the servers go down.
Great work on the MP! The SP is ok, but the MP is genius. You have the best MP product on the market today!
-Graham - 2:29 PM
- Specter4life said...
Are you addressing the fact that I keep getting stuck on the mp load screen for 10-15+ minutes with no game starting and I have to shut the system down? I haven't been able to play online in 2 days now
- Laughing Ghost said...
It takes time to bulid. Other than that I F'in Love this Game!!! You have my support Jaffe. Hope for a TM 2 or War of Monsters game take man. Your doing fime bro.
- Jose said...
im having issues with my trophys wont syncin with the web site but my stats show up can u fix that please
- CerebroCide said...
Keep up the good work. TM is utterly brilliant, despite these snags.
I have one problem though that I haven't seen anything about, but that's bc it's either just me & I'm a idiot, or I just haven't looked hard enough for a solution.
With the Tier 1 & Tier 2 Unlocks, am I supposed to have ALL my Tier 1 stuff unlocked before I start Tier 2? If so, then I fudged up somewhere because Vermin (Tier 1) is locked still for me, but I have Shadow, Darkside, Sweet Tooth, & Rear Freeze (All Tier 2 ) unlocked. I really don't want Vermin, but in order for the Trophy, I need 50 kills with him. Maybe I'll unlock him later with a unlock point somewhere down the road of leveling up (I'm Rank 22ish now) & I wasting my time with this, or it's really a problem. I don't know, but I'd appreciate a solution.
Again, TM is bloody amazing & I couldn't ask for more. - 1:30 PM
- fbh said...
I'm having some freeze issues on a SLIM 250GB Ps3. It's mostly in the boss battles in story mode (Iron Maiden and final boss).
One thing I've notices is that when the game freezes and I restart the console the disc is quite hot (compared to other games), same with the console.
Any update on this???. I really don't care about the game freezing but I'd like to know that I'm not hurting my console by playing it.
Great game otherwise. - 2:39 PM
- Miggy11 said...
Hey Jaffe, I understand that you guys are trying to fix the network issues right now, but one suggestion that I would like to make is that hidden stats such as energy regeneration, ramming, and handling be shown. This will make it easier for some people to understand that there are even more differences in vehicles than just the three current stats.
Also I know that the stats are more of an estimate than anything else, but they don't seem very accurate. Could you make those stats more accurate in a future update. Thank you. - 9:58 AM

That's a great way to cut through the park going from Riverbend to Magazine or Tchoupitoulas shopping. Also cutting across the park from the university to the Tuesday farmers market at Uptown Square.
I used to ride along the dirt path in back of the houses on Walnut toward Magazine with the houses on one side and the park on the other. Or ride along the sidewalk on Exposition Blvd between St. Charles and Magazine.

Talk:Library of Congress Classification:Class D -- History, General and Old World
This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DS is the history of Germany[edit]
At least according to the Library of Congress catalog online.
Any sources for this article?? Moncrief 16:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Deletion Objection[edit]
Unfortunately, for us to have a listing of the Dewey Decimal Classification, the Chinese Library Classification, the Nippon Decimal Classification, and the Colon Classification system, and not to have a complete listing of the classification system of the single greatest library in the United States of America (and possibly the world) is a little unfair. LOC Classification is used in a great number of college and research libraries, and I think giving a full account of the system--with links--is worthy of an article. Granted the articles I've created aren't wikified, but I like to get the lists up first before completely linking them. If you want to avoid , we can put the entire classification on one page, but it would be inordinately long. NielsenGW 06:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- My main concern is that this will end up in a massive number of articles which seem listcruft. I think perhaps an "overview" page (such as is already given at Comparison of Dewey and Library of Congress subject classification is probably pretty sufficient-it's a lot more encyclopedic as an overview of the topic, rather then going into the minutiae. That should be left to external links. Maybe an "overview" table similar to the Dewey one could be done, with the main "letter" categories and wikilinks? Seraphimblade 14:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- On the Wikipedia:Contents page, there is a link to the classification systems, where I think it was the intent to organize the articles into the relevant classes, subclasses, and areas of organization. Main classes A, B, C, P, and Q are fleshed out with links. I hope and plan to do this with the other classes. I think it's more of an indexing technique rather than an actual encyclopedia article. NielsenGW 17:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Schedule B[edit]
The pages for the Schedule B and all of its subpages was deleted on April 4. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Library of Congress Classification:Class B, subclass BS -- The Bible. I have started a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Library of Congress Classification:Class B, subclass BS -- The Bible about how to deal with this. DGG 04:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

First time builder question
I will be starting my first project soon. Have decided to go with
http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/bfb_e.html to keep it simple. Its recommended that your internal dimensions need to be different. My question is how much different? To get 45 liters I've come up with 9 1/2" x 10" x 30". Focusing on the 9 1/2" and 10" dimension should I separate those two more or is the 1/2" difference adequate? |

You don't want any two dimensions to be that close. You also don't want to exceed a 3:1 ratio of one dimension to another. Model your design in WinISD and it will give you the preferred dimensions.

I recon that the identical dimensions will cause a concentration of the standing wave problem (is that correct?), but why shouldn't there be more than 3:1 ? This would go against the design of many floorstanding speakers?
Has anyone tried such a speaker? How does it compare to a commercial one, say the B&W 309 floorstander? I also considered this driver, but maybe supplemented with a super-tweeter at a first order HP filter, starting fairly high. (anyrecommendations?) IF needs be, one could supplement it with an active sub. Again... comments welcome. Jennice

You don't want to go longer than 3:1 so that it doesn't turn into a resonant pipe- unless, of course, that's the intent. Floorstanders that aren't designed as resonant pipes are usually subdivided internally to keep the longest dimension as desired.

Hey Tim, I haven't made my mind up yet on the 206 or the 207. Most likely will be the 207s. Since I'm limited on space they will do double duty as my main speakers for my home theather. Provided they work good in that position I'll probably build a center channel and some surrounds with the same type speaker. My next project will have to be a sub that will compliment the 207s but thats for another thread.

As it stands right now my wife has helped me make my decision on the dimensions of the speaker. She doesn't like the look of a thin floor standing so I'll have to make the speaker shorter. Now I have to make a stand to match that she approves of also. Atleast she is approving these hobby projects. It took an ant of congress to get her approval for any money spent on the racecar.
Thanks for everyones help. |

Inside is not Outside
No reason to allow the dismissal of long and thin to keep you from getting the Fostex up to seated ear height (around 33 -36").
You can artfully run the sides down to the floor allowing the box bottom to be suspended off ground, or build a separate false bottom sealed from the rest of the enclosure. Just make sure it is non-resonant(sand). Many ways to keep height appropriate for the task without separate stands unless you like that look. Tim |

Books That Need to Be Made into Movies - Right Now
Keeping all that in mind, here is a list of books I've read this year that are just crying out to be turned into the kind of quality movies that used to be produced in this country so regularly:
Finding Nouf - Just imagine a murder mystery set in Saudi Arabia that can only be solved by a Saudi man and a Saudi woman working closely together despite all the religious regulations in that country that work so hard to keep male and female strangers separated.
Sweetsmoke - In a similar vein, how about a Civil War movie in which a freed slave woman is murdered and the only person caring enough to seek justice is himself still a slave. Imagine the tension, the battle scenes, and all the great characters of this book being transferred to film.
Live Fast, Die Young: The Faron Young Story - There have been numerous very successful biopics about country music singers due to the fascinating stories that are often associated with them. Think: Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. Well, as this book so aptly showed, Faron Young's life story is just about as wild and wooly as they come and would make a great movie.
The Wolfman - This is an amazing thing: the wolfman horror legend turned into a morality tale. This modern wolfman hates what happens to him every month but there's no way he can stop his transformation from happening. So he does the next best thing; he identifies and targets criminals, often sexual predators, to serve as his monthly kill. Can you picture that movie in your mind?
Resistance - This WWII alternate history would be a fascinating film. In this version of the war, Germany successfully invades the U.K. and occupies it for much of the war. What happens when a small group of German soldiers moves into an isolated farming community in Wales and gets stranded there for a harsh winter, a community in which all of the men have left to join the Resistance, is full of suspense and tension and great opportunities to develop several really memorable characters.
My Soul to Keep - High quality movies that scare your pants off are really rare but I think that this book offers a nice opportunity for someone to produce the next one. This is only one book in the Melanie Wells series and perhaps two of the books could be combined into one very fine movie. Being stalked by a demon capable of taking on human form is spooky stuff but this demon may have just chosen the wrong woman to stalk.
There's my half-dozen suggestions, Mr. Hollywood producer. Now please get busy.
Why is it so hard to make a movie that someone over 20 might enjoy? I'm just saying...
11 comments:
I'd be first in line for the Faron Young movie.
If a film version of We Have Always Lived In The Castle were possible, I'd be all over that, too -- not sure it's filmable.
It has long been my dream to see Endless Love done correctly -- even if they had to start out with a new title and rename the characters.
I made my students watch Casablanca this week in English Village. I think it went over well...I'd probably agree, Sam, except some books I felt would make great movies were made into movies and they STUNK! My theory - and I know I'm being negative here, sorry - but Hollywood dumbs everything down because the average Joe in this country demands it. When I worked in a movie theater during my high school years, I would always be frustrated because the movies I wanted to see never came to our house...instead we got what I refer to as "idiot comedy" because that was what sold. If I wanted to see my choices, I had to drive 40 miles to the only "art" movie house in the vicinity.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Jen. I've been disappointed several times by the movies that were made from pretty good books. Hollywood has a unique talent for destroying good lit, no doubt about it.
We don't go to the theater much anymore because the dumbing down of America includes a tendency for people to be ruder than ever in public. I don't torture myself anymore by trying to watch a film with an audience of cell phone junkies who behave as if they are in their own living rooms.

FDA drug approvals slipped in 2010
January 2011
WASHINGTONThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved about 21 drugs in 2010, down from 25 in 2009 and 24 in 2008, but higher from a recent low of 18 in 2007. Most analysts believe the drop reflects a tougher environment at the FDA, with regulators stepping up their scrutiny of safety issues in drugs for many key disease areas. Although the 2010 figures are a bit lower than previous years, FDA spokeswoman Sandy Walsh told The Wall Street Journal that there's "no systemic change in how the FDA is approaching drug approvals." The FDA approved a few potential blockbusters, but some of the most highly anticipated new products were delayed until this year or beyond. Back |

Peru's former president Alan Garcia has publicly suggested uncontacted tribes have been 'invented' by 'environmentalists' opposed to oil exploration in the Amazon, while another spokesperson compared them to the Loch Ness monster. In fact, there are more than one hundred uncontacted tribes around the world.
This unique film shows uncontacted Indians on the Brazil-Peru border in never-seen-before detail. It is the first-ever aerial footage of an uncontacted community. The footage was filmed by the BBC in collaboration with the Brazilian government, for the new BBC 1 'Human Planet' series.

Good Points
Road handing is good, but, being fitted to Vauxhall Meriva, driving is sedate and restrained, rather than spirited.
Bad Points
under 3mm at 16,500 - completely unacceptable, changed for Michelin.
General Comments
I sent the tyres sent back to continental, whose response, not unsurprisingly, was 'tyres OK, it's your driving and alignment on vehicle'. Strange, that the three tyre specialists who examined the tyres before they were changed all said tyre wear was even, but excessive. I've had cars for over 30 years and never had even front tyres last less than 30-35k. Our other car is a Mini One - I've just changed the original front tyres at 50k - It would seem that either the Continental tyres are faulty OR they simply shouldn't have been fitted to the Meriva in the first place. Maybe it's Vauxhall's fault.

Congress passed the National Trails System Act in 1968, establishing a nationwide system of scenic, historic, and recreation trails.

More about the National Trails System
The 19 current National Historic Trails "follow as closely as possible and practicable the original trails or routes of travel of national historical significance." They celebrate many aspects of our past, including early travels across the continent; the nation's struggle for independence; the migrations of settlers to the west; and the movements and hardships of American Indians.
The National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, USDA Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers— play key roles in administering and managing these trails, while the Federal Highway Administration has been an important source of funding for them.

More about the National Trails System
This is the "Decade for the National Trails" leading to the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails System Act in 2018. This Act opened the door to federal involvement in trails of all types, from city centers to remote backcountry. Virtually every trail in the country has benefited from the Act and many trail initiatives over the last 40 years can find their roots in it.
In December 2006, six Federal agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pledging to work closely together to enhance visitor satisfaction, to coordinate trailwide administration and site-specific management, to protect resources, to promote cultural values, to foster cooperative relationships, to share technical expertise, and to fund lands and resources associated with the National Trails. The MOU continues until 2016 as an active partnership of the Federal Interagency Council on Trails, an interagency group that has met since 1969 to coordinate activities under the authorities of the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 1241-1251). Fiscal year 2009 started with the 40th anniversary of the National Trails System on October 2, 2008. While a few of us took time out to commemorate this landmark date, dozens of Federal staff, thousands of volunteers, and uncounted members of the traveling public helped build and enjoy the various components of the National Trails System. Just after the 40th anniversary, enactment of P.L. 111-11 (the Public Lands Omnibus Act of 2009) expanded the Trails System from 26 to 30 national scenic and national historic trails (NSTs and NHTs). P.L. 111-11 added four new trails – the Arizona, New England, and Pacific Northwest NSTs, and the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route NHT. In addition, the Trail of Tears NHT was more than doubled in length with additional routes. Among many other notable features of P.L. 111-11 was the organic legislation for the National Landscape Conservation System within the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under which administration and management of NSTs and NHTs occurs.
According to the National Trails System Annual Report for FY 2009 "These trails offer unmatched quality of life experiences in outdoor recreation, education, scenic transportation, and access to the precious natural and cultural resources that define us as a Nation. And, essential to all these efforts is an unwavering, impressive, and ever growing cadre of volunteers."

Delta and Air France shrink on transatlantic; Belgium and Switzerland markets grow most
Traffic across the North Atlantic, here defined as between Europe and the US & Canada, may have seen capacity shrink by a percent since last summer in wake of the difficulties currently faced by many European economies, but the two markets remain the biggest long-haul destinations from Europe, with the US alone being served with 3.5 times more capacity from Europe than China.
The two biggest airlines in the transatlantic market, Delta and United, have both downsized capacity in the last year, making the #3 airline in the market, British Airways, the largest airline to grow. Delta's 8% shrinkage is considerable and the only airline in the top 12 list to downsize more is its transatlantic joint venture partner Air France, which has reduced its capacity by almost 15%.
At the other end of the spectrum is Swiss from the competing immunised transatlantic joint venture of select Star Alliance partners. Swiss has grown by more than 14% in the transatlantic market in the last year, however, the airline's offered capacity is so much lower than that of its parent Lufthansa that Swiss' increase of some 2,100 weekly seats does not compensate for Lufthansa's reduction of 3,500 seats.
Along with British Airways, a second British carrier has grown in the transatlantic market in the last year. Virgin Atlantic, which has increased capacity to North America by over 7% in the last year, is notable for ranking #8 in spite of being a relatively small airline overall. Although the airline's 5.3 million passenger throughput last year puts it well behind a large number of airlines on both sides of the Atlantic, Virgin Atlantic's (currently) all-long haul network has a strong transatlantic focus and puts the airline just behind Air France on the transatlantic top list, even though Air France overall transports more than ten times as many passengers as Virgin Atlantic.
Air Transat is another smaller carrier that sticks out. The Canadian leisure carrier's transatlantic capacity is, however, highly seasonal and the airline's November capacity across the Atlantic is only a tenth of what it offers in August.
US-UK dominates with a quarter of all capacity
The dominant market across the North Atlantic is between the United States and the United Kingdom, which alone makes up a quarter of all European capacity out of North America. The second-largest market, the market between the US and Germany that has grown somewhat faster in the last year, is only 61% the size.
In spite of France riding through the European economic crisis somewhat better than many of Europe's other large countries, the French market has seen the biggest reductions in the last year from both Canada and the US. Meanwhile, the smaller markets Belgium and Switzerland have seen considerable capacity increases from the US since last August.
Although capacity changes have been made to already operating routes, anna.aero has recorded some 20 new routes launching across the North Atlantic this summer scheduling season, as detailed in the table below.

Although listed as a new route, Delta's Seattle route was notably taken over from its partner Air France.
Among the announcements already made for the start of the next summer scheduling season are two San Francisco routes with two Star Alliance partners; United's daily flights to Paris CDG and SAS' six flights a week from Copenhagen. This is SAS' return to the US West Coast after the airline dropped its long-running Seattle route in July 2009. The new service is presumed to result in the Scandinavian flag carrier reducing Asian capacity. Announced to launch at somewhat lower frequencies are Turkish Airlines' four weekly flights between Istanbul Atatürk and Houston Intercontinental, where the Star Alliance airline connects with its partner United, and airberlin's thrice-weekly operations from Berlin Tegel to Chicago O'Hare, hub for its oneworld partner American Airlines.

So, sleepy, why the warm milk? Is it an old wives' tale? Something we cling to as an educated man holds (perhaps in secrecy) his few superstitions, a tie to the past, an eccentricity, a psychological boost?
Warm milk is a traditional antidote to insomnia. Nannies and butlers and grandmothers and kindly innkeepers, all the caretakers of our cultural cast of characters, can be seen with the steaming mug in hand, backlit in a yellow lighted doorway. Perhaps the wind is howling outside. Perhaps the weather is devilish bad, and you'll catch a chill if not your death. Your nerves need soothing.
Milk of course has symbolic links to mothers and security, purity and luxury, but who can say if the sleep-searcher is working on a semiotic level?
Comfort. The warmth of the beverage, perhaps helping to raise your body temperature slightly. The tactile sense of the mug between your hands, and perhaps steam, and above all the feel of warm creaminess on tongue and palette and throat. Perhaps it is augmented with nutmeg or whiskey1 or chocolate. A fire in the grate, or a handmade quilt, or a cat on your feet. This could be it.
Ritual. Some tell of padding downstairs to heat the milk, the same pan, the same mug, the time alone, quiet, to calm and center oneself. While one is engaged in a ritual, one is in ritual time, outside of the banal. For some, that is enough to quiet the mind that races in the dark. A cup for me and two spoonsful for the cat. We drink together and look out the window at the rain. Rinse the mug, set it aside, walk up to the warm occupied bed. A meditation.
Nostalgia. We learn old wives' tales from mothers, neh? And is it not known the powerful effect of the past on one's psyche? Perhaps it was drives in the car that put baby to sleep, or rubbing circles on her back, or a glass of warm milk and the presence of the beloved. What is to say that this will not work now? Herr Freud would like to hear your rejoinder.
Chemistry. Milk contains tryptophan, which supposedly boosts serotonin levels in the brain. Some say there's not nearly enough tryptophan in a glass of milk to have that effect. Some suggest warm milk and a turkey sandwich to bolster the reaction2. Apparently, the chemistry of the proteins involved suggests that supplementing warm milk with carbohydrates (bread and honey, crackers and jam) will boost tryptophan (and serotonin) levels even more. Another element in milk people suspect might be responsible for the nods are the casomorphins. Morphins. Opiates, albeit mild ones.
Nobody's got the solid answer to this one. For those suffering insomnia or just in need of soporific comfort, it can't hurt to try. For those in this situation who are also vegan or lactose intolerant, choose your reasoning from the first few categories and pick your milk substitute. We are as much mind as anything else. Many who report back on the efficacy of this treatment say that it works if they believe it will. Just as many other magics and medicines.

the medium raw ep
orazio fantini (deep series)
VÖ-Datum: 08.03.2013
Musikstil: Tech-House
Artikelnummer: 1817620 / DS005
Right in time, when the summer is about to blow your mind,
George P is back on track with another deep masterpiece.
With "on the bound� he presents us a slightly grooving and
powerful Track which roams free, somewhere between
House and Techno. The two tracks �extra� and �deepinside�
are as its name implies, deep and hypnotic as a matter of
course. True to that old chestnut that "only he who changes
remains true to himself" George P is well on his way to hit
the crowd with his sound.

Photographer's Note
A little street in the town of Anse-La-Raye. I met a teacher and some children in this very town in 1978 and decided to stop for a short visit on this 7 day cruise throughout the Caribbean Islands. To my surprise, I was greeted by his wife who is now the principal of the school. Saint Lucia is certainly an island that deserves to be seen.

Talkin' Supreme Court Citation Blues
The media and the American public were abuzz when the Supreme Court of the United States issued District of Columbia v. Heller, the Court's first meaningful interpretation of the Second Amendment in nearly seventy years. Likewise, environmentalists, Alaskan citizens, and punitive damage enthusiasts paid rapt attention to the Supreme Court's ruling in Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, the case in which the Supreme Court held that the punitive damages awarded in the Exxon Valdez oil spill case were excessive. But did anyone expect there to be so much attention paid to Sprint Communications Co. v. APCC Services, Inc., a case about whether an assignee of a legal claim for money owed has standing to pursue that claim in federal court, even when the assignee has promised to remit the proceeds of the litigation to the assignor?
If you actually made it through the question presented without your eyes glazing over, you'd surely agree that this doesn't seem like the kind of case that would find any level of interest with the American public. So why did this case make its way to the blogging netherworld? The answer lies within John Roberts' dissenting opinion. While the majority held that the assignee does in fact have legal standing, Roberts, in his dissent, argued that the assignee does not have standing if the assignee has promised to remit the proceeds to the assignor. What made his dissent significant, however, was not the legal position Roberts took, but rather one of the authorities he cited in making his argument:
The absence of any right to the substantive recovery means that respondents cannot benefit from the judgment they seek and thus lack Article III standing. "When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose." Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone, on Highway 61 Revisited (Columbia Records 1965).
While this isn't even close to the first time that Bob Dylan has been cited as legal authority, it is the first time that the Supreme Court has cited the musical legend. Music geeks enjoyed pointing out that the lyric was cited incorrectly, noting the line should have been written as "When you ain't got nothing," in all of Dylan's double-negative glory. Other Supreme Court aficionados just enjoyed watching the Supreme Court's "first baby boomer" having some fun in the dissenting opinion of a case that otherwise would have been read by very few.
The problem with citing rock music, of course, is that for every lyric that offers one proposition there is a lyric that stands for something completely different. If I was writing the Roberts dissent, I would have covered all my bases and quoted another singer-songwriter that I'm a fan of (hey, it's a dissenting opinion, after all):
The absence of any right to the substantive recovery means that respondents cannot benefit from the judgment they seek and thus lack Article III standing. "When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose." Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone, on Highway 61 Revisited (Columbia Records 1965), but see Todd Snider, Looking for a Job, The Devil You Know (New Door Records 2006) ("Watch what you say to someone with nothing, it's almost like having it all.").
Of course, Roberts would have been able to make a strong argument that even if having nothing is "almost" like having it all, it still wouldn't constitute the necessary "something" for Article III standing. Hey, if you're going to have some fun in your opinion, why not go all out?
