Editors' Review
+GNU XaoS 3.5 is a free, open source fractal generator and "zoomer" that offers smooth, fluid navigational movement as you zoom in or out of a fractal. It includes 24 well-known fractal formulas with many possible variations in effects and appearance, but you can also use it to generate your own fractals. It offers effects like a starfield generator, embossing, motion blur, pseudo 3D mode, and even a text display.
The program's 32-bit installation executable includes the 64-bit version for recent editions of Windows like Vista and 7, both of which we used for testing. The simple, efficient, dialog-based interface opens with the iconic Mandelbrot set, the first-ever fractal, displayed in the main window. Mouse buttons control the zoom; left clicks zoom in; right clicks zoom out. There are no other controls as such, only file menus, including a Help file that offers animated tutorials explaining what fractals are, how the program works, and its many configuration options. These include menus for choosing fractals, setting their mathematical calculations, applying filters, and controlling the program's motion. However, the simplest and best way to get acquainted with Xaos is to click on a part of the fractal and start zooming in. If your mind isn't blown in seconds, give it time: Fractals are amazing, astounding, beautiful. and gigantic fun.
We've used fractal software for many years, and it's always been fun and fascinating, not to mention educational, even when it came on a floppy and ran in Windows 95. XaoS is a sure keeper.
Publisher's Description

What our Customers Say about our Service |
"My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. " Oranit - USA - Mar 11, 2010 "I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. " Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010 "EXCELLENT SERVICE...DELIVERED ON TIME AND EVEN RANG ME HERE IN THE UK TO MAKE SURE I HAD PUT THE RIGHT DAY FOR DELIVERY AS I WANTED THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT DELIVERED EARLY. I WILL CERTAINLY BE USING THIS SITE AGAIN...EXCELLENT SERVICE." ANGIE WARREN - England - Nov 4, 2013 "This was the first time we worked with the company and the experience was great. We are in South America and we sent gifts to several countries. We were afraid that we would not be able to control the delivery and/or the situation, so we repeatedly sent inquiries. We received immediate response to all our questions and doubts, we were informed of every package delivered or processed, and the corporate specialist that we worked with was very accurate, kind, helpful and professional, I highly recommend them. It is a serious and responsible company." Cecilia Isasa, NETCOM - Montevideo, Uruguay - Jan 1, 2013 Read more testimonials or leave your feedback here. |

Islamabad, June 19 (IANS) Pakistan's Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan has said that people like former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) director-general Ahmed Shuja Pasha should be kept out of the country's army.
Nisar said that though Chief of Army Staff Ashfaq Parvez Kayani has kept away from politics, "we need to purge the army and its leadership of such people (like Gen Pasha)", The News International reported Wednesday. According to the minister, the army leadership should be kept aware of its real responsibilities.
Stating that the government is committed to overcoming the law and order situation in the country, he told Hamid Mir of Geo TV in the 'Capital Talk' programme that a meeting of all security agencies had been called June 20 to formulate a new policy dealing with the threats being faced by the country.
He said intelligence agencies should share information instead of competing with each leading to dangerous problems
Two task forces on missing persons in Balochistan and for coordination between secret agencies would be formed, Nisar said.
Dubbing as "a strange thing" the killing of people in Balochistan despite a large security presence, he said that his ministry would eliminate the "jungle law" that is prevailing in that province.
The report also quoted him as saying that he would come up with solid explanations regarding the issue of missing persons in Balochistan.
Regarding terrorist activities in the country, he said the government would ensure inquiry of all such incidents.
Asked about the law and order situation in Karachi, Nishar said that the federal government would help the province in cleansing it of all criminals.
At the same time, the minister also described the drone attacks that are carried out to flush out terrorists as unacceptable and said that it was an insult to an atomic power.
The government would look into all options before it to stop drone in Pakistan territory, according to Nishar.

Churchill talks about finding an identity
Photo by Steve Stanton |
Churchill is releasing its debut full-length, Happy/Sad, tonight at the hi-dive. It's been a long time coming -- the band has been around for more than two years, and this album has been in the works for half that time. The album, partially funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, is an elegant ode to life's ups and downs. We sat down with the band, comprising songwriter and vocalist/guitarist Tim Bruns, guitarist Mike Morter, keyboard player/vocalist Bethany Kelly, drummer Joe Richmond and bassist Tyler Rima in advance of the release to talk about fitting all the pieces together and not being defined as a Christian band.
Westword: Is there something that ties this album together?
Tim Bruns: The name of the record is Happy/Sad, and in all of the songs there's some sort of reference to opposite emotion. It's all about contrasting feelings.
Why that particular dichotomy?

TB: I think, for me, it was just the way I was writing songs. It was a really interesting year for me last year. I had very high ups and very low lows, so it was a lot of happy and sad.
How did the songwriting process work for Churchill on this album?
TB: For the most part I came with a really down tempo folk song that everyone made cool.
Joe Richmond: This has been the biggest year for us kind of becoming a band. So what would happen a lot is Tim would write the songs and come to us just on a guitar and sing the song. And we loved the songs, but they were all in a very similar vein. Kind of alt-country-ish. And it fit the emotion he was trying to get across.
But what's funny is Mike and Tim have been playing together for a long time doing more folky, bluegrassy stuff; me and Tyler have been playing in rock bands for the last couple years, and Bethany was playing in choirs and stuff like that. So I feel like, when Tim brought things to us initially, he and Mike were on the same page, and then me and Tyler were like, "This isn't rock music, we don't know how to play this," so we'd just start playing rock drums and bass to it.
So it kind of developed into the sound we have. The songs start with Tim and we just kind of add on and turns into a whole different thing.
TB: It took me a while to be okay with that, with letting the song be what it was supposed to be. I remember when Mike and I first started doing stuff together, I'd be like, "I want you to play this." And he'd say, "No. I'm not going to play in this band unless I can play what I want to play." So now that's kind of my philosophy with everything: I just trust everyone to play what they think is best in the song. And it's worked out well.
What is it that you're looking for out of playing music?
Mike Morter: I'd have to say just to be able to support myself and if I have someone in the future, to support whoever I'm with by doing music.
TB: I think that's for all of us: We all want to do this as a job. But I think success is also not necessarily just monetary. We want to have connections with people, and I think music is a catalyst to connect with people.
JR: That's kind of been a tough one for me. I started working with the band Meese, and they kind of got to a point where they had a certain amount of success, or what I saw as success for a band. They got signed; they did all this stuff. And then that kind of ended the way that it ended. And then also now, working with The Fray, I've seen that kind of success, too.
That's been hard, seeing all that and then thinking about success for my own band. I think, for me, it's more a musical thing. Probably because I've been working with bands technically for so long, I want to do something that's musically successful. I'm so proud of this band because we're doing what we want to do.
How would you say that your faith has influenced the band?
TB: When we decided to start as a band, that was a big question we had. Because We all grew up in Christian families and Mike and I met in Bible college. So I think faith is a big part of what we do, but at the same time it's not necessarily the goal of what we're doing. We don't want to do Christian music. We don't want to be involved at all in a Christian music industry. I'm not going to write a certain way because I'm a Christian. I just write whatever is on my mind. We've been called a Christian band before, and I guess it's not necessarily what we want.
JR: There are a lot worse things to be called.
TB: There are Christian overtones to what we're doing, but we don't get up on stage and preach at people for forty-five minutes or anything like that.
MM: I think we try and have a message of hope. People connect really well, whatever you believe, if there's some sort of hope in what you write.
TB: As far as the record goes, that's the whole point. The last song is called "Happy/Sad" and the lyrics say that happy and sad aren't enough. It talks about there being a hope outside that. For me it's about hope outside of my routines and emotions. I used to get so caught up. I'd wake up in a bad mood, and I'd be in a bad mood all day. And I think that whether I'm happy or sad, there's hope for me outside of those emotions.

Warm bacon cheese spread, TNT
Lynnda Cloutier
this dip is outstanding. I made it for a family gathering and everyone loved it. LC.
- one round loaf sourdough bread, 1 pound
- one package cream cheese softened, 8 ounces
- 1 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce, or to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 8 ounces
- 3/4 pounds sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- assorted crackers
1cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out the bottom, leaving a 1 inch shell. Cut the removed bread and top of loaf into cubes. Set aside.
2In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Worcestershire sauce until blended. Stir in bacon and onions.
3Spoon into bread shell. Wrap in a piece of heavy duty foil, about 24" x 17". Bake at 325° for one hour or until heated through. Serve with crackers and reserved bread cubes. The rich spread bakes right in the bread bowl and goes well with almost any deeper. Plus, cleanup is a breeze.

Actually I did this once when I was in the same situation and too impatient to wait for the sockets to arrive. I wrapped solidcore copper wire around each pin and tried to solder them to the steel pins of a 6922 tube. Even with a 80watt iron the solder wouldn't stick to the pins. But I still got the components connected and it did work, though I dont recommend it. Not a good and longlasting connection. But if desperate enuff...

I wouldn't, particularly if it is a genie Amperex. You should be able to get sockets quite quickly from a variety of sources.
Maybe Audio Marginal in Quebec can help. (I think they are still in business.) FWIW I agree totally with quitvinny, amusante cette texte en francais.

In a pinch, I have used the socket pins from a Radio Shack RS-232 connector, with some heatshrink tubing shrunk onto each socket pin. (Rat Shack has heatshrink too) Works real nice, and they are gold plated socket pins.
In fact, it worked so well, that I now use this method for a curve tracer setup, where I can pin configure the "socket" for any tube type quickly. Soldering directly onto tube pins will likely crack the glass vacuum seal. Don |

I've used it for the 802 pentode, socket for it seems to be almost unobtainable. Otherwise, alligator clips are the way to go, but I wouldn't suggest this without suggesting to BE CAREFUL with the high voltages, alligator clips can jump out of their place if aren't placed carefully, and maybe hit your face

For octals, you can use tip jacks to make a re-configurable socket. You have to file down the plastic collar at the top so they don't bump into each other for adjacent pins.

NASHVILLE, TN Thursday Jul.19.2007 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Former Marine Josh Gracin has returned from his tour of the Persian Gulf where he played a series of concerts in support of our troops overseas.
Gracin spent time with the troops in Kuwait and Iraq where he performed five shows, signed autographs, visited with soldiers in the hospital and even played basketball in 128 degree heat with fellow Marines.
"This was something I just had to do," said Gracin. "It was important for me to give back to our men and women in uniform and bring a little piece of home to our folks serving overseas. This is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life."
The overseas tour, sponsored by MWR and Stars For Stripes, took Gracin to Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and several locations in Iraq, including Kirkuk, Camp Speicher, Q West and Ballad Airbase. At the show at Camp Arifjan in Iraq, Gracin performed for more than 2,000 troops, setting the record for the second highest attendance at the base.
Lyric Street Records is a part of Disney Music Group. The Disney Music Group is the recorded music and music publishing arm of the Walt Disney Studios.

My Camry doesn't have the power it used to have. I've recently replaced the plugs and cap and wires, fuel filter, evap canister as it was all plugged up. It idles perfectly. I can live with it not have the power it once had however it sometimes has hardly any power at all. It is wound out and barely goes 20mph. I can get back it it the next day and its back like it was. I noticed I changed the air filter once and then it had no power which lead me to believe there may be a wiring problem with mass air intake. But don't think that's it either. I replaced the O2 sensor, didn't help. Had the castalytic convereter checked with a temperature sensor gun and was told it was ok. Not sure if that's the best test. My next step is to drop the fuel tank and check the filter and pump unless some of you guys have any better ideas. It's an automatic and trans axle fluid level is correct. Fuel injectors seem to be working normal when I listen to them with stethoscope. I'm just a DIY and by know means an expert though. I've read every thread on every site and no one seems to have the same problem. Oh, it seems to have a whistling like sound coming from around the exhaust manifold at head. I slight puff of smoke when I rev the engine by hand while looking under the hood. Could that be the head gasket, but if that was it why would I have normal (albeit not that great power) and then have no power for a short time again. I love this old car as it gets twice the mpg as my late model F150. There are some very smart and helpful guys answering questions on this site and enjoy it very much. Thanks for all that you do!
have the same problem?

warehouse in Enfield, a northern Connecticut city that borders Massachusetts, before dawn Sunday and rappelled inside, where they disabled an alarm and apparently loaded pallets of drugs into a waiting vehicle, police said. The thieves made off with enough drugs to fill at least one tractor-trailer, police said.
"Just by the way it occurred, it appears that there were several individuals involved and that it was a very well planned-out and orchestrated operation," Enfield Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said.
The FBI has been called in to investigate.
Edward Sagebiel, a spokesman for Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, placed the value of the drugs at $70 million. He said they included the antidepressants Prozac and Cymbalta and the antipsychotic Zyprexa. No narcotics or painkillers were taken, he said.
Zyprexa and Cymbalta were Eli Lilly's two best-selling drugs last year. Prozac was Lilly's first billion-dollar drug and the company's top seller before it lost patent protection several years ago.

I've been great!! Still studying though :( How about you?
They are really beautiful. How long does it takes you to make a bento like this? I would love to try once.
ReplyDeleteHi Ella, this bento is actually pretty simple. As long as you've got all the ingredients ready: taco meat, chopped tomatoes, chopped avocadoes, etc, you'd probably just need around 15-20 minutes to assemble everything together - this of course didn't include the prep time. The robot didn't take that long to make if you've got a sketch done beforehand so you know exactly what to do - I notice that I often waste too much time in the kitchen while making bento because I was too busy thinking what to make and which ingredients to use. Planning beforehand could decrease prep time tremendously.
DeleteAw this is adorable! You brought a smile to my face on a lonnnggg Friday afternoon at work!
ReplyDeleteAw I'd forgotten how cute all of your bentos are! The robot is very cute :) You must have so much patience to make all of these bentos!

Type 1 is water from a clean or healthy source. Once referred to as clear water, this label has since been changed to decrease confusion. These may include water from worn out clean water lines; clean water from restroom tank or bowl; faucets; and mineral water. Despite the fact that the source may be coming from a clean source, type 1 water can rapidly deteriorate into type 2 or 3 depending upon such variables as time, temperature, and contact with pollutants.
Type 2 is water with some amount of contaminants that may cause discomfort or sickness if absorbed. Previously called grey water, this label has since been removed to stay clear of confusion. Sources for type 2 water may include things like washing machine overflow; restroom overflow with some pee, but no fecal material; dishwasher overflow. type 2 water can rapidly degrade into type 3 depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with impurities.
Type 3 water is grossly unsanitary, and could induce severe illness or death if absorbed. Formerly known as black water, this descriptor has since been removed to avoid confusion. Sources for type 3 water include, but are not restricted to, sewage; flooding from rivers or streams; Wind driven rain, water from beyond the toilet trap; water from the toilet bowl with feces; and standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

Ceiling Repair in Cross Roads town, Texas
Catstrong Restoration utilizes numerous methods to fix damaged sheet rock. The most ideal option is directly related to the extent of the damage ( modest or large area) and spot ( ceiling or wall ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are widely available at home renovation shops that consist of a skinny metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh gives support for the drywall spackle. The patch is stuck across the hole, drywall mud, fine sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches perform most ideal on walls and small holes, but typically droop when used on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore chose not to use a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The most effective way to fix the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the region and replace it with a new section of drywall by mounting a wood support structure, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. Among the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.
Repair Option 3: Install a Drywall Access Panel
The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the water leak were to take place ever again, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending on the source of the leak, it may be important to cut an hole in the ceiling to deal with the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has utilized bauco drywall access panels. The bauco access panel solves both the repair work and plumbing accessibility issues.

Keith Stobie, Wolfgang Grieskamp, and Nico Kicillof gave a presentation on the new version of Spec Explorer 2010 for Visual Studio. Spec Explorer is a visual tool for modeling software behavior and generating test suites from those models. Spec Explorer's approach to model-based testing has been shown to greatly enhance productivity of test case creation, to ensure predictability of requirement coverage, and to support lifecycle management and software updates. Models are typically written in C# and controlled by a configuration language which allows to express scenarios and test purposes. Microsoft itself chose Spec Explorer as a cornerstone of the effort to validate open protocol documentation, developing more than 200 test suites validating over 40,000 requirements for networking protocols in a production environment.

Spec Explorer Basics 1: Exploring a Model and Generating Tests
The Discussion
Might I suggest you guys check out the GUI used in the StateFlow extension to Simulink, as their diagrams are a tad clearer to follow.
We use MSAGL, which is a fairly powerful engine, and would allow us to change the graph appearance in many ways. What would you suggest? Using rectangles instead of ellipses and diamonds for states? Anything else?
Actually, what StateFlow does is different than Spec Explorer. In StateFlow you model a system with a graphic language, StateCharts. In Spec Explorer, you model a system with a full-fledged programming language, C#, which is significantly more expressive. We then generate a state machine from this C# model, just for the purpose of visualization for the user. So the state machine is not input, but output of the tool chain.
Thanks guys for a great little tool. So glad that its not just for vs2010
However, what happens about the saved test cases? What if you have a development team and you have just the one model and the team is working of different parts of it. Then what? If you are working in a Agile/TDD space how does the model grow. Is it kept in TFS or SVN for example. Who adds the the modle (the change control process, requirements gathering) how is change communicated?
Really love how it generates the new test cases. Love how you can zoom in and out of the congative detail of the spec focusing on 'My Area'. Would be nice to layer of abstraction to the 'Zoom Out' so a white box becomes a black box. This is another interpretation of the state graph just being a 'black line' versa a box called 'the system'. So as you zoom into 'the system' parts of the whole become exposed, eg it has a 'login' part a 'bid' part and so on.
This is what happens in nature you have pond water, then as you look closer bits are merky, closer still you see there is life in there, still further insect larva and so on. This allows better comprehension of the whole without overload.For Spec Explorer it might rely on the stricture of underlying code that it is decomposed into cognative abstraction layers this might be less performance code wise (other than usual n-teir design).
Again nice work guys.
Doug, UK.
Thanks Doug. You might want to take a look at the state hiding and grouping feature in the exploration result viewer (click the Manage Views button when you are seeing an exploration, create a new view and use the GroupQuery and HideQuery fields).
Why does Keith - the test architect - call these tests "Unit Tests"?

"Our party believes in communal harmony. We believe in uniting the country and not dividing country. "I would like to ask you. Is someone who makes tall claims and speaks lies fit for the PM's post?" Gandhi told an election meeting here, without taking the name of Modi, who had yesterday targeted her over meeting the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid in Delhi.
"The country has many serious issues to deal with," Gandhi said.
Apparently referring to Modi criticising the Congress on corruption, Gandhi said it was a serious issue and if any party had taken steps to curb it than it was the Congress.
Sonia: The country has many serious issues to deal with
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, she said the Congress had also taken several development steps and programmes to strengthen infrastructure. "No country has an act equal to the Food Security Act, which ensures grains at subsidised rates and protects children from malnourishment, while the MGNREGA gives employment opportunities," she said.
The Congress had brought the Forest Rights Act also to protect the interests of the tribals, Gandhi said. Referring to Maoist violence in Jharkhand, where 20 out of 24 districts were affected with left wing extremism, Gandhi appealed to them to give up weapons and return to the mainstream.
"Violence is a big impediment toward the progress and development of the country. I appeal to my brothers and sisters to return to the mainstream," she added.

Remember the kind of films Cameron Crowe used to make, and the kind John Cusack used to star in?
If you combined the two, amped up the pop-rock soundtrack and threw in an emollient pinch of Disney you'd have something like Bandslam, Todd Graff's uneven but hugely charming tale of musical nerdery triumphant. It's like a throwback to the 1980s only with better haircuts and iPods instead of Sony Walkmans.
At its centre is a classically shy, disaffected youth, Will (Gaelan Connell), who's just moved with his mom (Lisa Kudrow) to New Jersey and a new highschool, where the main event is a tri-state battle-of-the-bands contest known as Bandslam – "like a Nuremberg rally produced by MTV". Will's interest in music is obsessive but introverted; umbilically attached to his iPod, he's a devotee of vintage rock and reggae, and he charts his uncertain progress via daydream emails to idol David Bowie. His wallflower status begins to change when school senior and ex-cheerleader Charlotte (Alyson Michalka) takes him under her wing, appointing him manager of her band I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (some name!) and advising him how best to woo his sulky classmate Sam (Vanessa Hudgens).
On the surface it looks a pretty conventional high-school romance, but the script (by Graff and Josh A Cagan) wisely refrains from tipping its hand too early. You're never quite sure, for instance, which of the two girls our hero is going to fall for, and the acting of all three leads honours the suspense. Hudgens and Michalka, already bona fide pop stars, both play very sweetly off newcomer Connell, who at times actually recalls a less good-looking (though no less endearing) John Cusack. You can easily imagine Cusack relishing the scene where Will takes Sam to see the legendary New York punk club CBGB; as they wander the disused basement bar, its walls still encrusted with posters for Patti Smith, The Ramones et al, their pilgrimage assumes the magical aura of an archaeologist swooning at cave paintings.
Watching this reminded me why I so admired Todd Graff's earlier Camp (2003), another eccentric musical which dared to doff its cap to Stephen Sondheim and Todd Rundgren, among others. The choice of soundtrack here is another eclectic mix of the great (Bowie, Nick Drake) and the neglected (a lovely song, "24 hours", by Liverpool band Shack), though you do wonder about Will's supposedly inspired management of Charlotte's band, which he converts from a modest three-piece to a rather overblown nine-piece with brass accompaniment. Given his professed love of art rock, could he not have come up with something less middle-of-the-road? I Can't Go On, I'll Go On start off like a cool garage band and end up sounding like The Boston Pops. And talking of ...I'll Go On, this movie does a bit, too. Yet I loved Bandslam all the same: Graff has wonderfully captured not just the emotional havoc of adolescence but its passionate belief in music as a life-changing force.

May 11 (GMM) Lucas di Grassi mentioned a very famous name when asked about his struggle to return to Formula One.
Just one season into his career, the Brazilian lost his Virgin seat, but he remains one of the sport's most highly respected test drivers, and was hard at work for tyre supplier Pirelli earlier this week at Jerez.
"I talked to some teams about competing in 2012, but they were all asking for contributions from sponsors," di Grassi revealed, according to Brazil's Globo.
"It's very hard to compete against the name Senna for sponsors in Brazil," he added, referring to Bruno Senna's lucrative deals that secured him the race seat at Williams this season.
Di Grassi, and Jaime Alguersuari, will return to the wheel of Pirelli's 2010 Renault test car later this year at Spa, Monza and Barcelona.

2009 was a great year for Kathryn Bigelow. After a 7-year hiatus from filming "K-19: The Widowmaker," she returned to direct "The Hurt Locker," a suspense and war film set in Iraq that has deservedly been recognized by critics and award bodies alike, and is expected to be one of the primary contenders for the Academy Awards. Bigelow is known for her superb work in the action genre, which is rarity among female directors. Her skill in filming tension and violence is as good as any of today's directors.
But what sets her apart from most of her contemporaries is her attention to her characters, which is clearly what draws her to direct. While her peers' films dictate what their protagonists are supposed to be (e.g. Michael Bay = macho, James Cameron = implacable, Michael Mann = professional), her films probe into what drives her heroes and heroines in their white-knuckle moments, without feeling judgmental about them. Manohla Dargis probably describes it best, when she dubs "The Hurt Locker" as, "diagnostic, not prescriptive."
The movie was released in 1995 surrounded by pessimistic American cultural low points such as the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the Rodney King beating, the film shares a grungy, threatening, and somewhat dystopian outlook of Los Angeles at the turn of the 21st century. Here, 1999's L.A. is an anarchic police state, largely resulting from the murder of Jeriko One (Glenn Plummer), a prominent rapper critical of police brutality.
The film's lead, Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) is a street hustler and ex-cop who peddles illegal "Superconducting Quantum Interference device" (SQUID) recordings; essentially virtual reality mini-discs of other people's memories, which can be fully experienced by those who "view" them. Despite his seedy charm, he lives a lonely life, longing for his ex-girlfriend and singer Faith (Juliette Lewis), constantly replaying SQUIDs of their past relationship.
In his dealings, he receives a "blackjack" or snuff disc portraying the rape and murder of Iris (Brigette Bako), a prostitute and former close friend of Faith whom he knew and met within hours of her death. With the help of his friends Mace (Angela Bassett), a bodyguard who loves him, and Max (Tom Sizemore), another ex-cop and now private investigator, they look to find out why Iris was murdered, and hopefully save Faith from a similar fate.
James Cameron, who helped produce the film and write its screenplay, assigned this picture's direction to Bigelow (his ex-wife). He must have known that the similarities in their methods, as well as her filmmaking gifts, would keep his vision intact. There aren't the massive scale action sequences that one is accustomed to in Cameron picture. The action here is less technical and more personal (another trait in Bigelow's work). But despite these smaller-sized scenes, she maintains a disciplined mood and pace of anticipation and energy, in a style that can be easily mistaken as her husband's. The film's opening 3 minute shot alone is a fantastic achievement, looking like what Scorcese would have done with a De Palma long take.
Another similarity here is the presence of very strong female characters, in either emotion or physicality. In the past 30 years where women in action films have been mostly tripping over themselves just to hold a gun properly let alone fire it, or be the partner nagging the male to be there for his family, these liabilities are failings you cannot accuse Kathryn Bigelow (nor James Cameron) of. Here, Angela Bassett is a powerful maternal figure as well as a stone cold fox. She plays the sexiest butt-kicking single-mother since Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor. For the life of me, I cannot believe that she has been the most underused acting resource in Hollywood ever since.
Speaking of Mace, Bigelow does something interesting with her character. She switches it with that of the male lead, turning Mace into the powerful action hero rescuing Lenny in the most dire of situations. There is one shot showing Mace cocking a glock in her holster between her two thighs, concealing it under her party dress. It is probably the single most masculine scene I have ever seen a heroine do (outdoing Linda Hamilton's pull-ups in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"). This surprising role reversal is perhaps a big factor why the movie tanked at the box office.
These are some scenes that many don't expect a woman to follow through on, among others. The film shows first-person perspectives of sex and assault that in the hands of a man would be criticized as sexist and misogynistic, but with Bigelow, they're never solely gratuitous. She utilizes them for us to empathize with the seductiveness of such contraband, the excitement of its possibilities, and the danger and ruthlessness of the film's villain. Roger Ebert is spot on when he says the film's Point-of-view (POV) shots "force" us to inhabit the film's realities, which is really what a good movie is supposed to do. And its this willingness by Kathryn Bigelow to plunge headlong into this cyberpunk world that underlines her fearlessness, despite the sexual politics involved.
It's not only Bigelow's stylings that are interesting, but also her character development. As mentioned, her protagonists don't easily fit into categories. Lenny and Mace at no point in the entire film, become cliches. Lenny's snakelike salesmanship masks an emptiness that few film heroes are willing to show. When Bigelow shows how Lenny looks when he is viewing his SQUIDS, he looks pained and uninhibited, but he is meant to look so as to add pathetic and disturbing dimensions to his character, and show how deplorable his trade is. Mace on the other hand, isn't simply a musclebound amazon. Bigelow somehow manages to showcase her with genuine femininity, and an almost maternal concern for Lenny. When she yells "Right here! Right now!" you know exactly what she's talking about. Together, Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett are the film's soul.
Being a rocker herself, Juliette Lewis also lends the film authenticity with her usual raw and edgy performance as Faith. I don't think there are any Hollywood actresses today, other than Charlize Theron, who are capable and willing to lay themselves bare on a consistent basis the way Juliette Lewis did in her prime.
It's a shame that the film has some obvious weaknesses. Its dialogue feels too polished for its setting. Its costume design a bit too grungy, and its third act, though expertly shot, is a mess plot-wise, with intended parallels to Rodney King feeling forced and unnecessary. James Cameron is a skilled storyteller, but not a great writer. Of course, with some of these arguments, hindsight is 20/20. And to give some credit, the idea of a rapper's killing with immense distrust of the police, became prophetic with the death of Tupac Shakur.
But despite its flaws, what makes "Strange Days" worth seeing is its devotion to its characters, its remarkable use of POVs to create its consistent atmosphere of apprehension and excitement, and most of all, its fearlessness. We see Kathryn Bigelow trying out new tricks, reversing sexual roles, confounding expectations, and going all out. It wasn't perfect, but it was never boring, and a pleasure to see.

For Bob Woolmer, Monday seemed just a normal day at the office. A couple of players sent packing after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs? No problem. Now, what could next week possibly bring? The board being replaced en masse with calls for the coach's head? Bring it on.
Woolmer appeared utterly resigned to the perpetual intrigues, accusations and turmoil of Pakistan cricket. It is a wonder that he has lasted two years and four months in the job, a feat of endurance and skill equivalent probably to 100 Test caps. He has been sustained by internal support stemming from the president (of the country, that is, Pervez Musharraf) and by results.
This was a man who nearly 30 years ago was one of five England players who turned their backs on Test cricket and def-ected to Kerry Packer's circus. A little later he enlisted for the first rebel tour of South Africa. He was coach of South Africa when it transpired that Hansie Cronje was fixing matches.
Nothing could surprise him. But it did. Woolmer recovered swiftly, but he was severely jolted by the news on Monday that two of his fast bowlers, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, had tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone.
When he took the call early on Monday from the new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Dr Nasim Ashraf, Woolmer barely twitched when he was told that he was to be given some news for which he should be sitting down. A million things raced through his mind without unduly disturbing it, but not what he was shortly hearing. The appointed tribunal sat in Lahore for an hour yesterday and was adjourned until Thursday. There are B samples to be tested, so nothing (really, nothing) should be prejudged and anything (really, anything) is possible. But cricket's first positive test for performance-enhancing substances is still something completely different.
At the last World Cup in South Africa, Shane Warne was sent home after a positive drugs test. He had taken a banned diuretic, a slimming aid given him by his mum, which might or might not have hastened recovery from injury. Shoaib and Asif, if guilty, have entered different territory. The cricket world - and not least the International Cricket Council - awaits the findings.
Woolmer had what might have been misplaced optimism. "Hopefully, there will still be a chance for them to be involved at the World Cup because they are two very useful bowlers. If they were tested in a match situation by the ICC it would be a two-year ban, but this is something we have instituted."
Similar sentiments were being expressed in Pakistan, though it was also noticeable that several people associated with the PCB, not least the former, respected chairman Shaharyar Khan, intim-ated that they were not surprised by Shoaib's positive test.
Warne may have set a dubious precedent. The great leg-spinner was banned for a year when the World Anti-Doping Agency's recommendation is for two. Although miffed, Wada did not intervene. It would be hard for them to do so now if the PCB, should guilt be determined, think a year is sufficient.
But that would still leave the pair out of the World Cup next spring. It is possible that Woolmer hit on the way things might work. So far the PCB have insisted only that the two will receive a fair hearing.
The PCB have not come well out of the affair. Although they instituted the drugs tests, it has been claimed that the players never received a list of banned substances. This would not excuse them, but it would make the alleged offence slightly less culpable.
The future of Shoaib and Asif is in the hands of the three-man PCB panel, including the former Test captain Intikhab Alam and the lawyer Shahid Hamed, who questioned the pair for the first time yesterday. It would be dreadful for cricket if they are proved guilty, and it should not matter whether they took the drugs inadvertently. It would be worse if any ban was not appropriate and they did indeed play in the 2007 World Cup.

Babies are helpful around the house
So apparently babies are great floor cleaners, right?
Words to the wise-- Zero to $500K in 18 years.
Cost of Swiffer at Duane Reade-- $7.99.
Babies are a joke in Dane Cook's repertoir
Some sounds, when they hit you, they just make you want to punch a baby? God help you if you're in a nursery! You'll go on a baby-punching tangent! GOD HELP ME! IT'S THE SOUND THAT MAKES ME PUNCH INFANTS!-- Dane Cook
Let's just put it this way, Dane Cook does not need any more fodder, and babies apparently are supplying his endless chain of refueling. Do we need any more proof of babies' evil? Babies + existence = Dane Cook.

Babies are the parrots of the human kingdom
Our nation's amusement parks use parrots for time-honored entertainment. So, too, do humans make their babies put on a show. Just go on YouTube and enter "funny," "dancing," or "cute baby."
Just like parrots, language is a skill mastered by the ridiculously short and weight-challenged by mimicking what the subject tells it to say. "Make him say 'shit' again!" "Elmo wants you to say 'Shit.'" Insert baby saying "Shit." Roaring parental laughter ensues.
It amazes me that we do not give our tax dollars to much needed parrot training programs, but all these babies have to do to get my hard earned money is roll over in their cribs, fart and make people smile.
babies mimicking,
YouTube culture
Having a baby validates your womanhood
Hitler was a baby
As stated before, babies grow up to be serial killers. They also become fascist dictators. Once again, the mathematical formula is at play.
Bowl haircut + grainy black and white antique photo = Future mustachioed war criminal
We know there's mean old people
Babies fight each other like bums
Babies humanize politicians
Apparently the global populace cannot feel a poltician is human until they have kissed and held a baby. We are continually held at their mercy in terms of their multitude of strategies for foreign policy and implementations to spur economic growth. Pity the poor politicians who must continue to meet their demands.
Why do you think we import so many toys from China? Babies, thine pork barrel evildoery knows no bounds!
foreign policy,
toy manufacturing
Babies are serial killers
Babies give your life meaning
Apparently for large portions of parents, their lives had no meaning before they had their children. Suddenly, post baby, everything is made clear. Apparently these folks have forgotten they were once babies with parents who felt the same. Millions regularly tell us that life has no meaning without smelly poopers leaching off of your very soul. Sniffle. Excuse me as I embrace my emptiness with another cocktail, uninterrupted private time, end of night luxurious shower and sleep filled evening.
Babies allow men to justify their midlife crises
Fart away
Babies eat grass and sometimes dirt
When you stick a baby on grass, very often they grab at the turf and eat it. Know what else eats grass and dirt? Damn dirty, filthy, stinkin' apes. Yeah. Think that one over, doting parents. Know what's in dirt? Worms, worms, and more germs. Now think of how many more babies we must save for the earth to survive.
Babies are extremely dumb
The very fact that there is such an item as an "electrical socket protector" means your kid is dumb. No, really. Babies are ridiculously stupid. If they were an adult, we'd consider them "mentally challenged." But no, we must protect them. If you know of an adult who would do behavior like this, what would you think? Would you worry about them? Make sure they're safe every 3 minutes? Hell, no. You'd be like, "No great loss."
Babies are filthy

Social Visualization:
Exploring Text, Audio, and Video Interactions |
Overview Aim of
the Workshop This workshop is aimed
at understanding and creating social visualizations, that is, visualizations
of social data for social purposes. Social data can be thought of as the
traces that people leave as they go about their daily routine. These data may
come from different sources such as the online world (i.e. email archives, IM
logs, blog postings, etc.) and the physical world (i.e. captured through
sensors such as voice by microphone, movement and location data by camera,
GPS, cell station, etc.). Visualizations of these kinds of data can be used for
increasing awareness of one's social environment, highlighting cues implicit
in communication, or for documenting patterns of activity over time. We will focus on three
areas of social visualization: 1.
Textual Online Interactions 2.
Audio Visualizations 3.
Video Visualizations Deadlines |
