Buffed Up
Director/writer/composer/star/visionary Vincent Gallo, a left-field character actor whose best work has been in the films of mainstream eccentrics like Emir Kusturica (Arizona Dream), Abel Ferrara (The Funeral) and Alan Taylor (the low-key Palookaville), arrives as full-blown auteur with Buffalo '66, a million-dollar art project currently on the cover of both Filmmaker magazine and Artforum.
Based on an amusing premise, it stars Gallo as Billy Brown, an affable loser who bets the farm on the Buffalo Bills, a national joke and his mother's favorite team, only to see them lose the '91 Super Bowl to the Giants in the final seconds when place-kicker Scotty Woods misses a routine field goal. Billy puts in five years in prison upstate to repay the ten grand he owes his bookie, and becomes convinced Woods threw the game; upon his release, he vows to track the place-kicker down at the Buffalo strip club he owns. He'll make him pay.
But first, Billy kidnaps a young ballet student (Christina Ricci) to serve as "Wendy," his imaginary wife, for one last supper at his parents' home, a den of dysfunction so garish and unresolved it threatens to unhinge anyone who strays there. He never imagines for a second that she might like it.
Ricci is once again a vision, continuing her gallery of damaged loners begun with The Ice Storm, The Opposite of Sex and her waif-thin Streisand stalker in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. She was one of those child actors so perfect in The Addams Family that it was heartbreaking to see her struggling through kids' fodder like Casper and That Darn Cat. Her reinvention in mere months as diaphanous sex bomb, with newfound kewpie doll features and a necrophiliac allure, are cause for national celebration.
The rest of the supporting cast is equally good to see, if not altogether effective. Anjelica Huston as Billy's mom, a football-obsessed fan incapable of human interaction (a character played much more ably by Frances McDormand in John Sayles's Lone Star), seems out of her element getting a handle on either the upstate squawk or the emotional demands of the character. Ben Gazzara, veteran of five Cassavetes showcases and no stranger to improvisation, seems visibly frustrated in his dinner table scenes with the arty framing and lack of interplay. Even the cameos -- Rosanna Arquette as the real Wendy, Mickey Rourke as an unctuous bookie, a pasty Jan-Michael Vincent at a bowling alley -- are all choice, even if between Rourke's plastic surgery and Vincent's revolving-door rehab, they look like medical experiments who wandered in from The Island of Dr. Morose.
And Gallo himself, smoldering in his insecurity, with the scraggly, stoop-shouldered, thrust-jawed look of a young Springsteen, is certainly an overwhelming presence. But as with other character actors gone to genius -- Billy Bob Thornton easily slides to mind -- the extreme self-consciousness of the style, mixed with the almost religious masochism of the character, seems on closer inspection like so much gimmickry, the visual equivalent of facial tics and grimaces, augmented by the occasional limp or eye patch.
If it's a Hollywood truism that directing which draws attention to itself always comes at the expense of the narrative, then the direction here virtually lapels the viewer into compliance, grabbing by the jacket-front and head-butting into submission. Shot on 35mm reversal stock for its extreme saturation of color -- a process for which there was no existing film-development procedure, or even lab equipment, before Kodak stepped in after the completion of principal photography -- the film is a thick, wildly mannered, almost synesthetic swirl of jump cuts, actors' moments, extreme editing and framing, blood-and-chocolate cinematography (courtesy of music-video whiz Lance Acord) and at least one 3-D freeze-frame device (employed at the apex of an exit wound) that is breathtaking. Call it Ill Mannerism: It bashes you over the head with its aesthetic subtlety.
Much is also being made of the elliptical European pacing, with the director probably given the benefit of the doubt because of his singular pedigree. (He has also made three films with French maverick Claire Denis, as well as upcoming films with Brit Roland Joffe and Scandinavian madman Aki Kaurismaki.) Yet even this looks European by way of Mean Streets -- a growth industry these days -- or more correctly, Mean Streets crossed with Taxi Driver. Billy phones his parents with tales of secret government assignments, is propelled by some misguided assassination attempt that is only revealed at the midpoint, and arrives headlong at some gruesome tableau of spectral and otherworldly carnage. It's like the honeymoon weekend Travis Bickle might have spent with Iris if she'd walked back downstairs with him before the paramedics arrived.
There's more to artistic achievement than a singularity of vision, although the two are often seen as synonymous in these troubled times. With a studio system manned by a mid-level development bureaucracy whose sole function is to quell eccentricity -- to ferret it out and detonate it, like children sweeping through a minefield -- then anything odd or misshapen that makes it on-screen is more often than not celebrated as an achievement. Great filmmaking is neither a popularity contest nor any stranger to autocracy, as the careers of anyone from John Ford to Sam Peckinpah to Billy Wilder to Terry Gilliam might attest. But neither is it the last refuge of unbridled narcissism. That may be what it takes. But even so, I doubt that's all it takes -- and the stylish but incomplete Buffalo '66 is proof.
Buffalo '66.
Rated R.
Directed by Vincent Gallo. With Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazzara.

AC002 Jewel Box
Written by Katie on August 16, 2016. Permalink
Fair warning, you won't like the price of this jewelry box. However, it's very notable for its beauty and organizational efficiency. Three circular components stack on top of one another, with each layer having concentric, curved dips where items may be placed. No tangled mess of watches, earrings and necklaces here- everything will be laid out and easily accessible. A lid on top keeps dust from your valuables. (Also, for a less expensive option, do take a look at the Box Modular Jewelry Container.)

Online Children's Illustration Class - Update
Jake and I are so pleased that our FULL class has SOLD OUT - but we still have the LITE class available. We are humbled to realize that artists all over the world trust us to share what we've learned about creating illustrations for stories like children's books and comics. What is possible today wasn't possible only a few years ago and it is my belief that we will find learning online more and more common in the coming years. To think that we can broadcast from our little town in Utah US to anywhere in the world is mind blowing and proves that if you work hard and dream BIG you can do it! The little map above shows how spread out our current enrollment is to date - but it's still growing!
How long will I be able to purchase the LITE version of the class? We will keep the video only version of this class available until July 10th 2013- the last day of the LIVE class. If you want to watch all of these classes - get the details by clicking here.
What format will the LITE class be in? The LITE version of the class will be in an MP4 or WMV file or both.
If I buy the LITE class how long can I view it? If you purchase the LITE class you will be given a download link to have the complete video files on your computer for as long as you like.
Will I get any feedback with the LITE version? No - we produced two price points to account for the time we will spend with FULL version participants - the LITE class will deliver the recorded version of the FULL class without the critiques, class questions, draw-overs, and skype call.
What materials will I need for either the LITE or FULL class? The assignments we will give will all require drawing instruments like copy paper and pencils (or tablet with drawing program). Adding color to your assignment is optional. You could use Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, Watercolor, Gouche, Ink, or Digital. I advise my students to avoid colored pencil unless it's mixed with an aqueous media like Watercolor because it takes a tremendous amount of time to build up color while controlling texture. Most illustrators avoid it as a stand alone medium for this reason.
If you have any other questions pertaining to the class I welcome them and will add them to this list if they are pertinent to participants.
15 comments:
For the lite class do we see how you instructed or drew over the other students, all 25? to see how its done? Or a few anyway? I forgot to check in and its full- can we send a deposit or all at once?
ReplyDelete- TamishaMay 3, 2013 at 7:34 AM
Will buyers of the full class have the video's avaliable to them after the course has come to an end in case we went to review later?
ReplyDelete can we place a nonrefundable deposit of 1/3rd or is all due at once? I do not want to miss out! i blinked and the other was full haha!
ReplyDeleteI would be interested if you do decide to offer another class in the fall or winter. Learning online from artists you admire is a great offering. Thanks again!

A recent innovation of using skin cells may prove effective in fighting brain cancer, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. By utilizing technology that won a Nobel prize in 2007, pharmacy researchers have been able to turn certain types of skin cells into embryonic-like stem cells. When changed, the cells are able to effectively hunt down and destroy brain tumor cells called glioblastoma.
Reprogramming skin cells
The new technique could prove to be groundbreaking for patients suffering from brain cancer. Current treatment methods only give those suffering from glioblastoma a 30% chance of living beyond two years. This is due to the tumors' complexity; while surgery can be effective in removing as much of the tumor as possible, it is not good at removing the tendrils that sprout from them. These tendrils burrow deeper into the brain and cause remnants of the tumor to grow back. Most patients only survive a year and a half after receiving a diagnosis.
So in order to effectively treat this form of cancer, researchers went to work on finding ways to eliminate these tendrils. Dr. Shawn Hingtgen and his team went to work with this goal in mind. By reprogramming a certain type of skin cell called a fibroblast, he and his team were able to create induced neural stem cells. These stem cells are able to more easily move through the brain and destroy the tendrils that surgery cannot remove.
The results of the research have been promising thus far. Depending on the type of tumor, researchers were able to increase survival rates in mice by 160-220 percent.
More work ahead
The next step for researchers is to start working with human stem cells. Hingtgen and his team hope to be able to load different anti-cancer drugs into them so that their potency will be increased. "We wanted to find out if these induced neural stem cells would home in on cancer cells and whether they could be used to deliver a therapeutic agent. This is the first time this direct reprogramming technology has been used to treat cancer," he said.
There are still some kinks that need to be worked out before the stem cells can effectively work in a human model. For example, after being inserted into the body, the stem cells have a tendency to become disorganized and not work effectively.
Hingtgen and his team are working on ways of binding them to a physical matrix so that they will have more longevity and work more efficiently. "Without a structure like that, the stem cells wander off too quickly to do any good," said Hingtgen.
More information on the research can be found here.

Can a Dog Develop a Food Allergy After Eating a New Food?
by Susan ParettsIf your dog has recently started eating a new food, one or more of the ingredients in it could cause an allergic reaction. A food allergy can be triggered by any protein-containing ingredient found in a new diet, including a meat, vegetable or carbohydrate. But ingredients in the same old diet he's eaten for years can trigger allergies all of a sudden, too.
Food Allergies
In order to experience a true food allergy, your dog must have been fed his new diet or the offending ingredients in it more than one time, usually over a period of a few weeks or months. A new ingredient in a recent dietary change might not be responsible for your pup's allergies. The cause could be an ingredient in his old diet that's also contained in his new diet.
Diagnosis and Treatment
To diagnose food allergy, your vet will put Fido on a hypoallergenic diet, containing limited ingredients he's never eaten. If he responds favorably within 12 weeks, it's likely he was allergic to what you were previously feeding him.
Food Intolerance
Don't confuse a food allergy with food intolerance, which results in stomach upset when you switch foods abruptly. Food intolerance, a digestive issue, will clear up within days.

I spent a very rainy but wonderful Thursday morning with Grace from Design Sponge. She is so savvy, smart, and humble, we had laughs and good chats.
I am finally starting to feel like its fun being on camera and teaching about baking...especially when I am having a good hair day and the cake is cooperating.
I had first wanted to create something really extravagant for the segment, but realized that its about having accessible ideas, so that others can make something beautiful too.
I went for dusted lilac flowers, with optional acid yellow stamen. They have a dark fuschia dusting in the centers for dimension and color, and make the yellow really pop.
The shooting went well, I am so happy with video.
It reminds me that life is so brief, and when you do something you love, it makes the world a better place.
and a cupcake a day never hurts either.
7 comments:
Sarah I just bought your book and am baking away with these wonderful recipies for my husband and the kids. I am making some cupcakes for my daughters birthday and wanted to add some decor to them. I see your recipe for gumpaste, I wanted to know if you recommend fondnt for little shapes as well and if so do you havea recipe for that?
Sorry just saw your comment now--you can use gumpaste or fondant for the shapes but fondant tends to crack and dry more quickly, so try to mix some vegetable shortening into it to keep it pliable. You can buy pre-made gumpaste and fondant at places like Michael's Craft store, cake supply shops, or places online like www.cakedeco.com. Good luck! xo Sarah

Putney Church
Wanted to say hi to Paul. I directed him in the original which sold out at the Centre despite an impending hurricane. I would love to be at the show but will be on stage with Paul's love interest in Putney(Martha Irving) in Sound of Music at Neptune - she marries Baron von Trapp and I look after his schloss. More amazingly we double as nuns. Not possible! Merde and have fun everyone.
with fond memories…was that 1989, I think so.

Communities of Distinction Presents A Special on City Services
(January 25, 2013)Coral Springs, FL (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
The Communities of Distinction TV show presents a special series covering the services cities offer to its residents. It explores the range of what is offered from animal control to parks and recreation and how it may have to contract some of them to save money to preserve jobs. The program will air in February and run throughout the year.
The program, which airs on many cable television networks, is unique in that it goes inside Americas best cities and towns and highlights the fascinating aspects of what each service provides to its citizens. It digs into the services which are privatized and outsourced to contractors in an effort to save money and keep jobs. The show also explores the best little places in North America which may be never be found until shown on the Communities of Distinction TV show, hosted by NFL legend Terry Bradshaw.
Bradshaw played for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a quarterback and was instrumental in leading the team to four Super Bowl wins and many national championship victories. His career spanned 14 years and he was later inducted into the Pro Ball Hall of Fame. He retired from professional football in the mid 1980s and has worked continuously in it as a commentator, analyst, and currently is one of the co-hosts on an Emmy-winning pregame show. In addition, he is a best-selling author, actor, favorite talk show guest and frequently requested motivational speaker.
Communities of Distinction films on location throughout the United States and Canada and is broadcast nationally and regionally on cable television networks. The producers of the show travel to the best little cities and towns to bring them to the forefront so viewers have an opportunity to learn about a new location. More information about the first-rate program and its host is available at watchcod.com, or on its Facebook page and Pinterest Board.

Seeing as how I was bored, decided to click on my link here from my google homepage, looked around the place and reacted exactly as OP did. I felt compelled to post and have to agree with Furyk. Fact of the matter is, things change. People find themselves elsewhere or find they have other priorities. Still, as crazy as it was I have fond memories of this place from eleven years ago. Still, nostalgic to see some old names I haven't thought of in an age. Thought I'd say hi if anyone even remembers my dumb self. -J- |

I still follow the comic (RSS feeds!) but haven't been on the forums for years. A buddy of mine decided to re-read the whole thing from the beginning and just finished, so we were talking about it and I mentioned the fan-colorings that used to be done for each comic. He hadn't ever seen them so I figured I'd come here and show him all the cool stuff....and found a ghost town. I don't know how long it's been since the colorings stopped, but I wasn't about to go looking for them when it takes a whole minute for a page to load when I'm literally the only user on the entire forum. I'm sure the poor performance does wonders for chasing users away.

Here's how it went. ohay guise, I'm popular on teh interwubz web forumz let's all popular kidz makenz SUPR SEKRIT IRC CHANNEL so all the 'cool kids' left the forum for IRC, occasionally deigning to post on the forum.
Then all sorts of people joined the IRC and so it became mainstream. "lol let's retire to facebook/ twitter/ blogs/ whatever." now everyone is gone, except for the random esoteric trickle of communication through facebook and twitter feeds. It's totally plebian to post on internet forums when you can tweet/ facebook/ etc instead. This post has been edited by Nestor on May 31 2012, 10:56 PM |

Digital digits of digitosity, Batman!
It's going through the same thing as back in the day when they got tired of paying the telegraph operator to send a message when phones came around, or paying long distance to dial into the BBS systems when Prodigy and AOL came around, or playing online services when the web and browswers started. And now everyone has messaging and text on smart phones and the social media on those phones and so on. We're just waiting for the next fad while getting bored of this one. Banks of phones at the airport for people getting off of jets to make phone calls, how last millennium. |

I think fixing the forums would go a ways towards that. I'd say about 75% of the time I try to post shit i get timeouts, 404s, and resets. When that happens I tend to leave and go post shit on forums that don't have that problem. i've been browsing now for... maybe an hour and you know what? that's a fuckin' record. |

Fixing it now wouldn't bring back many people, but it might actually encourage whoever's left to post a little more. Heck, half the time I can't even access the forums. It's pretty sad that the forums load at the same speed they did when I first joined--and I had dial-up back then. |

Something like what dreamshade suggested here half a year ago? I'd be on board with that, and based on that thread so would several other people.
There are a lot of MT forum users on Twitter, so that may be your best bet for finding people outside of these forums. |

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I slowly drifted away from this place sometime after my senior year in high school. I gradually stopped being into the whole anime and manga scene, and became more and more obsessed with my theatre studies. I didn't feel particularly inclined to visit the site since, especially when most of my better MTF buddies are now facebook friends.
This place and the IRC channel were pretty much the only friends I had, and the only thing I could consider social interaction, for practically years. But that started in 2002. Honestly 10 years is an impressive lifespan for a webcomic forum, I think. This post has been edited by Mosh on Jun 9 2012, 12:20 AM |

m. 6 APR 1809 Carter, Tennessee, United States
Family tree▼ Facts and Events
I didn't find a recorded marriage for Abel Dugger and Jane Jenkins, but they supposedly married in Carter Co., TN on 6 Apr 1809. What is the source for that date? He was a War of 1812 soldier. Was he or his widow a Pensioner? The pension file would be a likely source for this kind of information. [edit] ChildrenTwo children (Thomas and Nancy) are proven (more or less) by being with their mother on the 1850 census. Another child (Julius L.) isn't proven but fits and lived nearby. |

Partners find niche in Cisco's cloud collaboration applications model
Cisco unveiled a new Web 2.0 and unified communications portfolio along with a partner payout plan for cloud collaboration applications.
Cisco Systems revealed a partner payout plan for its cloud-based WebEx Connect collaboration applications offering Wednesday as part of the release of new Web 2.0 and unified communications (UC) technologies.
Could Securing Your Channel Business Be Easier? We Can Help.
Download our latest guide to the top strategies solution providers can leverage for starting up and securing a cloud practice, successful approaches to selling and marketing cloud, and why it is urgent for partners to transition now.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Included is the long-awaited Unified Communications System 7.0, an on-demand telepresence application for the contact center, and WebEx Connect collaboration applications.
Partners have eagerly awaited news of how they will fit into the new Software as a Service (SaaS) business model for collaboration that resulted from Cisco's acquisition of WebEx last year. SaaS offerings are relatively new to Cisco partners, who are accustomed to selling hardware with clearly set margins and then generating extra income on maintenance and design services.
WebEx Connect -- which includes integrated collaboration applications, enterprise instant messaging, collaborative workspace, document management, calendaring and impromptu voice or video conferencing -- is sold by monthly subscription. And because it is based on open APIs, it also offers the opportunity to build a practice customizing applications for either vertical markets or individual users.
The partner cut in collaboration applications
There are two partner programs related to WebEx Connect applications. One is commission-based, and the other is a "collaborative resale" model that is still in pilot but will eventually enable partners to sell WebEx as their own conferencing service and offer the full lifecycle of services.
In the first plan, master and UC partners offering WebEx will get a 12% commission on the first year's agreement, plus 8% if the deal is developed and registered by the partner. There are no volume sales requirements. Unlike those of some competitors, WebEx subscription renewals provide an 8% annuity payment to the partner. Bottom-line meeting services using WebEx start at $59 per month, but range up higher depending on add-ons, and there are plenty of those.
"There may be more immediate reward to selling a hardware solution, but there is better long-term retention when it comes to offering WebEx," said Dave Elsner, vice president of sales and marketing at Cisco partner Nexus IS in Valencia, Calif. Elsner added that there is strong incentive in the combination of lifetime commission for renewals and the ability to continuously develop customized applications.
Cisco has trumped Microsoft when it comes to partner payout for cloud services. Microsoft partners get a 12% margin on the initial buy-in and a recurring 6% for the length of the contract when they bring customers to hosted Exchange Server, SharePoint, Office Communications or Live Meeting services. Cisco's WebEx Connect applications will directly compete with some of Microsoft's cloud offerings.
"We can't scale WebEx Connect without the channel," said Alex Hadden-Boyd, director of marketing for Cisco's collaboration applications group, explaining why Cisco has laid out a clear partner plan.
While the collaborative resale model is still in limited pilot, it is already being used by Cisco's telephony-oriented service providers, who can offer WebEx Connect services from their own networks. Eventually, value-added resellers (VARs) with the right resources will be able to do the same.
"Cisco is talking to us now about a customized [resale plan]. We would resell the WebEx client under the Nexus brand and then all of the servicing would come through Nexus," Elsner said.
In the meantime, there are also opportunities around customizing collaboration applications for WebEx Connect. Beyond the basic conferencing and social networking applications, WebEx connect offers mashup capabilities that enable enterprise users to pool their own information resources with incoming data streams from other companies and Web portals. That's expected to be one of the strongest areas for customization. One example would be enabling a healthcare company to integrate medical research from numerous online journals into one on-demand feed for users.
"Off the shelf, there are 20 widgets, including RSS feeds and wikis," Hadden-Boyd said. "Partners can also create widgets that allow then to do things like have Salesforce.com integrated into team space."
WebEx training is available to all partners specializing in UC, and is a requirement to sell the applications. Cisco will launch a series of Web 2.0 Integration Workshops for its UC partners beginning in November.
UC 7.0 goes mobile
Like WebEx Connect, Cisco's UC 7.0 aims to integrate into a wider array of business software by using "the network as a platform." Upgraded unified communications applications can also be securely accessed by mobile and fixed devices.
"Our network platform uses open standards protocols to expose collaboration services such as presence, instant messaging, call control and policy to a broad range of devices and applications," said Don Proctor, senior vice president of Cisco's software group.
Unified Communications System 7.0 can be integrated into desktop products from IBM and Microsoft. With an open network security device, UC applications can be extended to remote workspaces. What's more, the Unified Mobile Communicator enables devices running on Windows Mobile as well as Symbian and BlackBerry to play in the UC mix.
Elsner said Nexus will sell enterprises a combination of WebEx and UC 7.0 so that, for instance, customers with contact centers can make use of presence, chat, automatic voice or video conferencing and shared workspace to handle incoming requests.
It's all about the video
These days, Cisco takes any chance it can get to promote video applications. So Wednesday's release also included TelePresence Expert on Demand, a customer service application that enables remote branch users to launch impromptu video conferencing sessions with subject matter experts at a main site. For example, a retail bank could provide video conference services to bank customers in any location via Cisco TelePresence without having to place highly trained resources in every branch.
"Customers could go into a kiosk and have a small telepresence screen where they could pick the appropriate expert and have a conversation," Hadden-Boyd said.
Cisco's UC 7.0 release and the TelePresence Expert on Demand are available immediately. WebEx Connect is currently available as a desktop and Web-based client with mobile clients available in early 2009.

Hummel (German: "bumblebee") was a self-propelled artillery gun based on the Geschützwagen III/IV chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer. It was used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War from early 1943 until the end of the war.
The full name was Panzerfeldhaubitze 18M auf Geschützwagen III/IV (Sf) Hummel, Sd.Kfz. 165. On February 27, 1944, Hitler ordered the name Hummel to be dropped as it was deemed inappropriate for a fighting vehicle.[1]
The Hummel was designed in 1942 out of a need for mobile artillery support for the tank forces,[1] the lack of which had first been felt during the invasion of the USSR. There were some self-propelled artillery vehicles already in service with the Wehrmacht at the time, but most were of limited value.
The first option looked at was mounting a 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer on a Panzer III chassis, but this was rejected in favour of the same howitzer on a Panzer IV chassis. One prototype was built of this design.
This design was again rejected, this time in favour of a more powerful solution: mounting the 15 cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer on the specially designed Geschützwagen III/IV, which took elements of both the Panzer III (driving and steering system) and Panzer IV chassis (suspension and engine).[1] The same chassis was also used for the Nashorn tank destroyer.
The Hummel had an open-topped lightly armoured fighting compartment at the back of the vehicle, which housed the howitzer and the crew. The engine was moved to the centre of the vehicle to make room for this compartment.[1] Late model Hummels had a slightly redesigned driver compartment and front superstructure, to offer more room to the radio operator and driver.[1]
Because the basic Hummel could carry only a limited amount of ammunition, the Munitionsträger Hummel ("ammunition carrier Hummel") was developed. This was basically a standard production Hummel without the howitzer (a 10 mm armour plate covering the gun mount) and with racks fitted to hold the ammunition. When necessary, these could still be fitted with the 15 cm howitzer of the normal Hummel; this could even be done as a field conversion.
By the end of the war, 714 Hummel had been built together with 150 ammunition carriers using the same design.
Combat history[edit]
The Hummel first participated in large scale combat at the Battle of Kursk, when some 100 Hummel were in service. They served in armored artillery battalions (Panzerartillerie Abteilungen) of the Panzer divisions, forming separate heavy self-propelled artillery batteries, each with six Hummel and one ammunition carrier.[1]
Foreign use[edit]
Romania received one unit from the Red Army after the war ended. This was assigned to the 2nd Armoured Regiment with the registration number U069009. It was officially known as the Hummel TAs self-propelled gun in the army inventory. The gun couldn't be used because it was missing the lock.[2] It was shown to the public on the 10th of May Bucharest parade in 1946 with Romanian markings.
All German armour units in Romania had been scrapped by 1954.
Surviving vehicles[edit]
Five Hummel survive in museums, at the Munster Deutsches Panzermuseum, the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung in Koblenz and the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum in Germany, the Musée des Blindés in Saumur, France and the Fort Sill Field Artillery Museum in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.[3][4]

A decade and more ago, it seemed like new fly shops were popping up all over the country, but in the more recent few years we've seen a retraction, with independent shops closing across the country from Pennsylvania to Montana. That's why I found it both interesting and newsworthy when a new, full-service fly shop recently opened in Maine. I interviewed owner/operator of Trident Fly Fishing Ben Freeman to find out what made his new shop special:
Q: One of the big topics in the fly fishing industry is how we mentor people and bring new faces into our sport . . . how did you get started fly fishing?
A: I started fly fishing when I was about 10 years old. My grandfather put his old fiberglass rod in my hands and showed me how to cast. Once he determined that I wasn't going to injure myself, we tied on a popper and within three casts, I had caught a small largemouth bass. I spent those formative years perfecting my craft fishing for bass and panfish on small Florida ponds.
My grandfather was a great angler – he grew up in Detroit and after meeting my grandmother began spending a lot of time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. When he got there all of my relatives were fishing with worms, but after watching my grandfather catch brook trout after brook trout on the fly, they were all itching to learn his secrets. Over the years he introduced fly fishing to dozens friends and relatives in the Upper Peninsula.
Q: In the last several years the combination of the proliferation of "big box" stores and a downturn in the economy has contributed to the closing of dozens of fly shops around the country. What made you decide to swim upriver and open a new business in difficult economic times?
A: Local fly shops have traditionally provided consumers with expertise, great customer service, and convenient access. "Big box" stores, on the other hand, provide consumers with low prices and a wide variety of tackle choices. As big box stores grew, customer service and expertise (particularly in fly fishing) started to slip. With smaller specialty fly shops struggling and/or closing and gas prices on the rise, smaller shops have become less and less convenient to shop at. So, unless you're one of the few anglers lucky enough to live in or near a major metropolitan area with a great fly shop, finding great gear at a great price is challenging.
During the same time period, anglers have become more accustomed to the idea of shopping online. I think this has created a great opportunity for a store that can offer customers a great selection and the lowest prices – combined with great customer service and fly-fishing expertise.
Q: What is special about Trident Fly Fishing that would make people want to shop at your store? What makes Trident special?
A: A lot of innovation has happened in fly fishing over the last 10 years – fly rods are lighter than ever, drags are sealed, and lines are textured. What hasn't really changed is how people shop for fly fishing equipment.
We built our website from the ground up to make it as easy as possible for fly fisherman to find exactly what they are looking for. If you're looking for a 10-foot, 6-weight rod, we'll show you all of them on one page, and it only takes 3 clicks.
We also wanted our customers to shop with us for all of their fly fishing needs – not just rods and reels – so we now offer free shipping on ALL orders. The products anglers need most are leaders, tippet, and other consumables, and now you can get them at a reasonable price.
Finally, we have a low price guarantee, because a great shopping experience begins with the lowest prices.
Q: What is a "Castability Guarantee"?
A: One of the biggest advantages to buying a rod at a local shop is the ability to cast it before you buy it. We wanted to recreate that experience and therefore we offer the industry's only "Castability Guarantee". Order any rod with the Castability Guarantee logo, try it in your yard, make sure it balances with your reel, and if you don't absolutely love it, we'll pay for the return shipping.
Q: What is the fishing like in your neck of the woods?
A: We are blessed with some of the best fishing in the country. Sebago Lake is one of the four original basins for Landlocked Atlantic Salmon. In the fall, they migrate into the Crooked River to spawn and fish exceeding 4 pounds are common. Within a few hours' drive, you'll also find the finest native brook trout fishing in the country: dry fly fishing on the Magalloway and nymphing on the Rapid River. Small stream anglers will find endless opportunities in northern Maine where nearly every stream holds trout.
We have some great saltwater fishing as well. Maine is also last stop north in the striped bass migration and can be caught all summer along our beaches. Sight fishing with crab flies is particularly interesting. If stripers jumped, they would be as sought after as tarpon.
Q: What is the most memorable fly-fishing trip of your life, and what made it so special?
A: About 10 years ago I had the opportunity to fish the Upper Peninsula with my grandfather. The trout were small and bugs were bad, but fishing with my grandfather on his favorite streams before he passed away is a memory I'll never forget.

In the small hours of last Thursday, July 10, the Brazilian Senate passed the 'Digital Crimes Bill', which typifies the cyber-crimes punishable by law and stipulates penalties accordingly. The proposal will now be proceeding to the House of Representatives for a review of the last amendments, and the next step is its approval or veto (in full, or any of its articles).
Thanks to the pressure from many fronts, the initial draft proposed by Senator Eduardo Azeredo, which gathered unanimous rejection by the blogosphere, has been re-written for the better. The demand for user identification before they can take any action on the Internet, such as blogging, e-mailing or chatting, has been dropped, and some advances have even been made with the inclusion of an article to criminalize online racism.

Jane wrinkles her nose, before pouring us another glass of Merlot each. "What I don't understand," she says, "is why you thought it was a good idea to pick up his phone in the first place."
Jane wrinkles her nose, before pouring us another glass of Merlot each. "What I don't understand," she says, "is why you thought it was a good idea to pick up his phone in the first place."
"Well, thanks very much," I say, giving her one of my best Force 10 glares. "I'd rather hoped for a more sympathetic response from my closest friend. Why shouldn't I answer Jaap's mobile? We've been going out for ages, we're practically living together and one day we're going to get married. And he'd only popped out to buy the newspapers."
This outburst has, I realise, all the hallmarks of a major huff-and-puff on my part and, like so many h-&-ps before it, it's designed to cover me being on shaky ground.
As every fool knows, you don't read other people's letters or e-mails or diaries - and you don't go trawling through the text messages on their mobile, either.
"What was I supposed to do?" I say, a more plaintive note creeping in. "It made that horrid beeping noise so I picked it up. It's just that when I realised it wasn't mine, I didn't put it down again. I wish I had. But, I don't know, Jaap's been behaving a bit oddly lately, so I suppose I was feeling insecure and ..."
"Nosy," Jane says. "And this is what happens to nosy people." She pauses, then adds, more kindly: "Look, it may be nothing. Jaap doesn't seem the type ...
"Everyone's the type," I say, sadly. "Everyone with a pulse. And, anyway, how can 'READY FOR YOU ANY TIME. CAROLINE' be nothing? Nice try, but it'll take more than that to convince me I'm wrong."
Suddenly, the room goes blurry and I find myself gulping and sniffing. "Oh, Jane," I say, my face all crumpled up, "I love him so much. How can this be happening?"
The next day, I have a horrible, horrible hangover and a heart of lead. I can hardly bear to even look in Jaap's direction.
Yet, when he comes over and asks if I'm all right and says he obviously needs to take me out somewhere nice this evening, I can't think of a reason to turn him down.
This, it turns out, is a huge mistake. The dinner, to be fair, is delicious, and I even manage to eat some of it; and Jaap is kindness itself, clearly concerned I'm not my usual self. It's when we go back for coffee at my place that things start to go terribly wrong.
"What is the sell-by date on this?" Jaap asks, sniffing the carton of milk in the fridge. "Oh God, that's dreadful," he says, screwing up his nose. "I should go and get some more. I won't be long."
He's barely out of the door when his jacket starts to ring. Should I answer it? Every instinct is telling me that no good will come of it if I do. So I override it.
"Hello?" I say down the phone, and a woman's voice answers, "Hello? Who are you?" followed by, "Oh no ..." Then she hangs up.
"Are you all right? You look shattered," Jaap says when he returns with the milk. "You should go straight to bed. Don't worry about me; I'll have my coffee and go home, give you some peace."
He's right; I am tired - too tired to keep up the protective front any more. There's the now-familiar prickle in my nose and I can't hold back the tears any more. Jaap looks both bewildered and distressed as he says: "What's wrong? What's happened?"
"You should know," I wail, pushing him away. "Stop pretending you don't. How could you? Just get out! Get out and don't come back! I never want to see you again. It's over!"

What can the Kansas City Chiefs do for you this fantasy season? Check out Athlon Sports' team report as we break down the rookies, veteran players to watch and avoid, fantasy playoff schedule and more to help you get ready for the 2012 season.
Inside the Locker Room
with Kent Babb, Kansas City Star
How will Romeo Crennel divide the carries between Jamaal Charles and Peyton Hillis? Can they both provide fantasy value?
Assuming Charles is healthy, he'll get the majority of carries — although he has been at his best with a power rusher splitting part of the load. Particularly with Charles returning from an ACL tear, the Chiefs will be careful with how much responsibility they give him, at least until he proves he has the same agility and breakaway speed he had before the injury. Hillis will be used in short-yardage situations, similar to the way Thomas Jones was used the previous two years. He'll be a good source of touchdowns, but it'll be Charles — if he's healthy — who racks up the yards.
After Dwayne Bowe, who is the next wide receiver to target?
Steve Breaston is a solid receiver, but he'll lack big plays and touchdowns. A sleeper choice would be second-year wideout Jon Baldwin, who is similar in build and hands to Bowe. He wasn't dazzling in his rookie season, and the Chiefs will need him to take a step forward in his second year. Breaston is the safer choice, but Baldwin has the higher upside — and, of course, the higher risk.
Does Matt Cassel provide any fantasy value whatsoever?
If he's at 2010 form, when he rarely threw interceptions, then sure. But Cassel also rarely has 300-yard passing games, even when he's at his best. He's a decent (very) late-round quarterback choice or a very good fantasy backup, but Cassel's ceiling is remarkably low, even with a terrific rush offense and some very good receivers.
Will Tony Moeaki return to his rookie form of 2010 when he caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three scores?
Moeaki is another high-risk, high-reward player. If he's healthy, he has the potential to be one of the league's better tight ends. But that's a huge if — and it has been since his college days. Moeaki has incredible hands and a remarkable ability to get open. The problem with him, and always has been, that he can't stay healthy. So fantasy owners who take a chance on Moeaki, should probably draft another tight end in the early to mid-rounds, just to avoid the buyer's remorse when Moeaki again suffers an injury.
Athlon's Best Bets
Sleeper: Tony Moeaki, TE
Deep-Sleeper: Jon Baldwin, WR
Overvalued: None
Top Rookie: Devon Wylie, WR
Bounce-Back: Jamaal Charles, RB
Top IDP: Derrick Johnson, LB
2012 Draft Class
1. | Dontari Poe | DT | 6-3 | 346 | Memphis |
2. | Jeff Allen | G | 6-4 | 306 | Illinois |
3. | Donald Stephenson | T | 6-6 | 307 | Oklahoma |
4. | Devon Wylie | WR | 5-9 | 186 | Fresno State |
5. | DeQuan Menzie | S | 6-0 | 198 | Alabama |
6. | Cyrus Gray | RB | 5-10 | 198 | Texas A&M |
7. | Jerome Long | DT | 6-5 | 285 | San Diego State |
7. | Junior Hemingway | WR | 6-1 | 222 | Michigan |
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs' first three picks were spent upgrading both lines, so there's not much fantasy value likely to come out of this class. Defensive tackle Dontari Poe can be dominant, but his effort was questioned at Memphis. Jeff Allen played tackle at Illinois but could move inside to guard in the NFL. Devon Wylie will help on special teams and is penciled in as the No. 4 receiver. Running back Cyrus Gray was a solid late-round pickup but faces an uphill battle for playing time.
Fantasy Playoff Run: Weeks 14-16 (at CLE, at OAK, IND)
New offensive coordinator Brian Daboll comes over after coordinating for Miami and Cleveland. He had no top-10 fantasy producers for the Dolphins, and no Browns are on the tip of your tongue over the last five years. If a consistent player does emerge, the Chiefs do get the Raiders and Colts, easy fantasy defenses from a year ago, in the playoffs.

Alack, alack, what blood is this, which stains
The stony entrance of the sepulcher?
What mean these masterless and gory swords
To lie discolored by this place of peace?

Romeo! O, pale!—Who else? What, Paris too?
And steeped in blood?—Ah, what an unkind hour
Is guilty of this lamentable chance!
The lady stirs.

Oh no! What is this blood that stains the stony entrance of this
tomb? Why are these bloody swords lying here, abandoned by their
masters? Next to this place of peace?

Oh, he's pale! Who else? What, Paris too? And he's
covered in blood? Ah, when did these horrible things happen? The

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep.
A greater power than we can contradict
Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.
Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead,
And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee
Among a sisterhood of holy nuns.
Stay not to question, for the watch is coming.
Come, go, good Juliet. I dare no longer stay.
I hear some noise. Lady, come out of the tomb. A greater power
than we can fight has ruined our plan. Come, come away. Your husband

The watch is coming. Come, let's go, good Juliet, I
don't dare stay any longer.

First Basic "Red" Brew
Irish Red Ale • Extract • 2.5 gal
My second home brew and first recipe of my own. I wanted to keep it simple and basic and was trying for something like an Irish Red Ale. Brewed 1/2/12, bottled 1/14/12 and recently tasted the first couple of bottles. The C-60 comes through with a "grainy" flavor and a bit of caramel as well. Not overly bitter as I am not a hop head. Next version will be with 3/4 lb of C-40 instead of the C-60 but no other changes to compare the taste differences of the crystal malts.

I measured the OG at 1.052 and the FG at 1.014. The color was a little darker than the calculator suggests, I think due to the wheat LME. I used Alexander's, one Kicker can left over from my first kit recipe. I steeped the grain in 1 gal for 30 mins with temp ranging from 125 to 150, then rinsed with 1/2 gal at 140 degrees.

CRUD - Create, Read, Update and Delete - is the very simple-sounding solution to what is actually quite a complicated question in software engineering.
When designing a system, how can you anticipate the future needs of the system? Say something as seemingly simple as a blog. You create a post, right? So that's easy. But then posts have comments. And an author. And some pictures. And some tags. Eventually, you end up with a very unwieldy database table, where every time you add a new piece of functionality, it gets a little bit more messy.
the basics
The secret is that instead of creating complicated databases with lots of fields in them, it's possible to carefully design a system where CRUD are the only operations you need.
In an carefully designed CRUD system, an administrator creates a blog post, which an user can read. The user can e-mail the administrator with a typo, so the admin can update the blog post. When it has finished being useful, it can be deleted.
So far so good, but it doesn't sound particularly clever, right? Well, let's see what happens in a bit, when we add commenting to the mix.
It's all about databases...
... Specifically, about relational databases. Each of the user interactions can be mapped directly to a basic SQL statement - Create is INSERT. Read is SELECT. Update is, er, UPDATE. and Delete is, well, DELETE.
The idea is that all the information stored across a system can CRUD'ed easily, by using the bare-bone-basics of database instructions and a simple database design. The simplicity of this means that you end up with a lot of database tables with a lot of rows in them, but the strength in this simplicity is that databases are fast, and it's easy to cache simple database queries.
In practice
To continue with our example above, let's say that our intrepid site visitor wants to vote on a particular write-up. One way of doing this would be to read the current vote field from the blog post table, add one to it, and write it back to the database - but that would mean that the user can 'Vote', and 'vote' isn't one of the actions used in this solution.
Instead, when casting a vote, the user creates a vote for a post. This might sound like exactly what we did above, but from a database point of view, it's quite different: In this case, User 12 casts a vote for blog post 98, which is simply dumped into the correct database table, without first having to do reads. Add a datestamp (always handy for stats and bug hunting) and a unique ID, and you have a 4-field database table which is really quick to work with.
To tally the votes cast by a particular user, simply SELECT COUNT(*) 'votes' WHERE user=12, and it returns a number. To tally all votes cast for a particular post, you can SELECT COUNT(*) 'votes' WHERE blog_post=98, and it returns a number.
In practice, it turns out that doing many simple database queries can be faster on than doing big, juicy queries on huge tables - and it scales quite well, too. To add a comment, you don't comment on the post - you create a comment in a comments table. To subscribe to changes to a post, you don't subscribe to the post, but you create a subscription in a subscriptions table - and so forth.
A different way of working
Nobody thought to teach me about databases when I first started programming, and I've got some legacy web applications where I had a single database, with a single table, and the table would be 80 fields across. Don't get me wrong, it worked fine, but the problem is that adding more functionality, and readability of legacy code, becomes cumbersome enough that it becomes a hurdle to ongoing development.

If you prefer not to order online (of if online ordering isn't available to you), you may place orders by telephone, FAX, or mail.
If you are ordering by FAX or mail, please print and fill out a copy of our order form. If you need extra space, also print out the supplemental order form. You will need Adobe® Acrobat® Reader to view and print these forms. Many new computers come pre-loaded with this application. If you do not already have it, you can download Acrobat® Reader free of charge.
We ship to all portions of the continental US except for California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada.
Note: For Minnesota , we are required to bareroot plants and wash the roots before shipping (the alternative being to use a highly toxic pesticide soil drench, which we are unwilling to do). This requires a great deal of time, and has necessitated higher packing and shipping rates for Minnesota. Depending on circumstances, shipments to MN may be sent bareroot, but will usually be re-potted in a pest-free soil mix.

Shipments to addresses outside the continental United States may be arranged on a case by case basis.
Most orders will be shipped by UPS. We will try to ship your order at a suitable time, depending on your climate and the type of plants involved. Many plants are shipped in small pots, or with potting soil on their roots, and can be sent almost any time except during severely cold weather. Our experience in handling plants this way has generally been very good, even when shipping plants to warm climates during summer. When possible we acknowledge orders, indicating the anticipated shipping time. As a very small nursery, other time demands of the business often leave us unable to send acknowledgements, especially at busy times of the year. If you place an order and it is not otherwise acknowledged, you may confirm receipt of your order or learn the anticipated shipping date by telephone. We are usually here (including weekends), and we will be glad to answer questions concerning your order (or other questions which you may have).
If you have a written acknowledgement, please check it before inquiring about an order. We usually succeed in shipping orders by the date promised. Since many plants are shipped in leaf and growing, we often hold spring orders until their destination is reasonably safe from frost. For this reason, and because much of our propagation is done during the spring, our shipping dates will often be later than would be expected for dormant stock. Shipping dates may be dictated by the availability of stock, also.

Orders shipped to or billed to Massachusetts addresses will be charged 5 percent sales tax. Plants listed as edible or edible fruit will not be taxed.
We will accept payment by check, money order, or credit card (we accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, and Diner's Club cards).
Note: You may deduct the amount of any payment which you have made for our printed catalog from the total cost of your order.
Successfully establishing any plants which you purchase from us requires two things: 1.) that we deliver correctly labeled plants in good conditon at a suitable time, and 2.) that you provide the necessary care once you receive them.
We guarantee to fulfill our part in this. Your part is to conscientiously care for the plants according to the instructions given in the catalog descriptions, and in any planting and care information which may accompany your order. If any plant which we sell is not true-to -name, or fails to survive and you feel that we are at fault, we will replace the plant free of charge or refund the purchase price. Beyond this, please let us know if you are dissatisfied with our service for any reason. We shall make a sincere effort to treat our customers fairly, and to provide the kind of service which we ourselves would like to receive. We are always open to suggestions for improving our service.
We do not have a separate wholesale price list available. Wholesale rates are sometimes available on some items, however. Please inquire if you are interested in a quantity of plants.
