News at Last, Thank God Almighty there is News at Last!
I've been absent from the boards for several weeks, mainly working on the CKG, and as I'm way overdue for some news, here she goes . . .
Things are going to heat up a little around here. As I put more time into the CKG I'm going to move things around a bit in the schedule. All the below is set to give me more time into the CKG:
Neal joins us for the next two weeks and he's going to take over all the electronic uploads we've been needing to do, particularly over at Paizo, Game Hermit, RPGNow, Amazon etc.
I'm going to shift Crusader back one issue, a month's delay essentially. Resetting the magazine so that Issue 21 will ship in October, Issue 22 in November and so on. I'm doing this mainly so that I have more time in the short term to work on the CKG. I may have to do this again at some point in the very near future. So for the next few months it may get bumpy . . . certainly not as bad as it was back during the early days of the magazine.
Players Handbook is due to ship to these offices on the 23rd of this month, that 's this Wednesday. It normally ships in 2 days so that we will have the books late on Friday afternoon. Now, we are going to attempt to preset packaging and get a batch of them out on Friday, no promises on that though as we just never know when those tractor trailers are going to arrive.
Gods and Monsters is up next, but its going to have to wait a few more weeks for the pipe to clear.
The Screens continue to be a vexing problem. We are going to have another go at them this week.
CKG, chapter 21 wrap up today and tomorrow. This has really been the hardest chapter of it all, so hopefully this will prove to be the end game for this project.
We've launched the personalized Players Handbooks as well. Get your orders in quickly, if not the files, so we can set these up and start printing them. Thanks.
I'm sure there's more but it will have to come to me as it comes to me.
I have started a thread over on the message boards called News and More News. If you have any questions, please stop by and I'll do my best to answer them.
Thanks for playing,

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Do you think the best way to get the cheapest plane tickets is by calling the airline? Or, do you scan through hundreds of websites provided by search engines to find low airfare tickets? Maybe you hope to find cheap airfare in the local newspaper's travel section.
Finding cheap airline tickets can be one of the most frustrating experiences that most of us learn very quickly. Of course, most people eventually give up after spending hours scanning websites that offer virtually the same flight schedules and pricing. People purchase what they believe is the cheapest plane ticket, only to find their neighbor paid just a third of what they did!
Unless you understand the concept of of how airlines set prices, all the searching in the world won't provide the cheapest airline ticket prices. The following information will give you a guide to follow, as you wander through the maze searching for cheap airfare.
Understand how prices are set by airlines! Air ticket pricing is complex and unpredictable, and driven by competition, demand, and inventory. Airlines call this "yield management."
Competition is the beast behind the cheapest plane tickets. All major airlines utilize central reservation systems (owned by various airlines) to fill available seats. The systems are known as Apollo, Sabre, WorldSpan and Galileo. Prices are based on demand, and if some flights are selling well, the price will increase. If the flight is unpopular and has very little demand, the fare is lowered in hope of attracting consumers. In short, fares and inventory change every minute of every day!
Finding the cheapest plane tickets is difficult because travel agents and Internet websites use the central reservation systems that are updated periodically throughout the day. The reason why different searches come up with different results is because the systems are not updated at the same times. And, each system may use different algorithms when searching for low airfare tickets, which can provide a variety of ticket prices .

Business / Labor / Ideological Split In PAC Contributions
2010 Race: Pennsylvania District 10
From this chart, you can get a flavor of which are the top industries giving to the candidates running for Congress in your district. Do the industries match your local economy, or are they more Washington-based? If the latter, the candidate may have divided loyalties on issues where the interests of their cash constituents conflict with those of the voters who elected them.
Chris Carney (D)
Business | $295,426 |
Labor | $265,000 |
Ideological | $237,850 |
Other | $250 |
Uncategorized | $500 |
Tom Marino (R)
Business | $82,900 |
Ideological | $58,897 |
HOW TO READ THIS CHART: Most members of Congress get the bulk of their campaign contributions from two main sources: the industries that make up the economic base of their home district and the Washington-based interest groups that pay more attention to the member's committee assignments in Congress. In addition, most Democrats receive substantial sums from labor unions.

Imagine a morning filled with fashion, free coffee, bacon rolls and goodie bags.
It might sound like the morning after a P. Diddy party, but it's actually a good description of a press launch breakfast. They're essentially launch parties that take place in the morning, but because the alcohol is NOT flowing (at most), that Dutch courage is often absent and the 9am start might put you a little off balance. As an aspiring fashion or style journalist, there will definitely come a time where you have to attend one, for yourself, for a magazine or through the PR company directly.
Following on from the Maverick's insightful PR piece this morning, I thought I'd wade in on how to approach the press breakfast. It's a strange breed of journalism event and can seem a little like another dimension if you don't approach them right – and you really should because they're an excellent way to rake in new contacts and wardrobe additions!
Oh yeah, did I mention the free stuff?
I might make these events and launches sound a little more glamorous than they perhaps are, but they really do have an air of the Devil Wears Prada about them, and that can be blinding.
So first rule is: always remember why you are there. It might be to meet a specific person from the press department, it might be to source a good feature for the magazine and it might be to break news on the latest releases. So make sure you go out of your way to do that (if it means sidestepping the free coffee and food, so be it) and avoid putting your feet up and leaving with nothing… pay attention and be fashionably proactive.
Meeting the PR people is mandatory because they will likely know who you are and will take you round to look at the line / products etc. The thing to do is ask right and relevant questions, for example "what's the price point on this?" or "have any celebrities endorsed this particular piece?" It's far too easy to nod and smile and accept the 'official line', i.e. what's in the press pack, so make sure you enquire about what you're there to do. Remember, this is what will make your piece more insightful than those who have used the press release directly, and press teams are incredible at being clued up on their products (inside and out) so ask away – they're there to help you!
So having spoken to the press people, take some time to speak to other journalists. You may already recognise some, but those you don't might be massively important to the industry. What's great about fashion journalism is that it now sees bloggers standing side-by-side with top-shelf editors, because those bloggers are just as valuable.
Don't think you're worthless – I've met style editors from FHM, GQ, Men's Health and beyond just through these morning hour-long sessions. And the free kit and coffee just sweeten the deal!
Any questions, tips or anything I've missed? Add them to the comments below!

Powderham Castle
Powderham Castle enjoys a unique, picturesque setting within an ancient deer park beside the Exe estuary, just south of Exeter. Over 600 years of history can be discovered within the walls of one of Devon's oldest family homes. Powderham came to the Courtenay family in the dowry of Edward I's granddaughter, and her son, Sir Philip Courtenay, began building the Castle in 1391. It has remained in the family to this day, and recently became home to the new Earl & Countess of Devon, the 28th generation to move in. The magical setting and convenient location makes Powderham the perfect venue for your special event, be it a wedding or business function. For locals and visitors to Devon it is a 'must see' and with its many attractions - a wonderful family day out!

The Kansas Legislature continues to grind toward a tax agreement today. Its tempting to snicker at the chambers inability to actually pass a budget after working at it for three months, but we should cut lawmakers some slack. Remaking an entire state takes time.
Much has been made of the continuing gridlock in our national government, brought on largely by the polarized nature of our two major political parties. Divided national government, in our time, is a recipe for dysfunction.
But a much different dynamic is playing out in state governments. There, one-party control is becoming the norm.
According to the Pew Charitable Trusts news service Stateline, 26 legislatures have become more Republican since 2003. The GOP holds a strong grip on legislatures in the Old South, the Plains, in some Rocky Mountain states and the industrial Northeast.
(Excerpt) Read more at kansascity.com ...
We need to take more state governments.
If only that were true....
One Party Rule never seemed to be a media issue when the American Soviet Party held the majority of power in state legislatures.
'Pew' Charitable Trust is aptly named.
Fine. Deport the damned socialists.
Yeh ain't it a beach that GA is totally GOP. Red baby. LOL!!!
One party rule ain't working so well in CA.
Its working pretty good in Michigan.
Soft secession sure beats the hell out of civil war and it sure ain't our side which wants to force our model on the other side.
Glad you posted the link. I have not purchased the Kansas City Red Star or Kansas City Falling Star paper sonce November 2008. I was unaware that Dave Helling was even still alove to report the lies that his editors give him to publish.
By the way Our Gov of KS the Honorable Sam Brownback is doing a great job as is the Elected Members of the KS house and Senate.
I know one thing - republican controlled states passed no new gun control laws.
There is considerable support for losing the winner take all electoral system in Michigan and going by districts won. That would give us a fighting chance.
I'm not sure how to overcome the disastrous 17th amendment for electing senators.
Mrs. Helling's little Davy probably wouldn't be whining about this if it was the DemocRATS who were the "one party" running all of the states.
Fair enough. As of now, where are people deciding to live? The author doesn't mention hard numbers, which are already available.
You go Georgia girl! Unfortunately Pennsylvania suffers from New York & Jersyitis. So if anyone from a true blue red state wants to come here, we have great hunting and snowy winters.
Our asshat GOP Chairman then proceeded to strong-arm wavering legislators so it wouldn't get out of committee. His excuse: We can win them all, we don't want to divide electoral votes and Pennsylvania's influence.
What we should have said: so what, it will be a blow-out election if and when we do.
How that jag-off managed to keep his job is beyond comprehension.
Wisconsin is doing a lot of good things, too! Finally! Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime, again. :)
The more we separate as states, I would think the more it becomes a bipartisan issue to move things from the federal government to the states, and a repeal of the 17th amendment would be politically possible.
We need to take more state governments.
Yes, cripplecreek, and reassert states' rights against the feral government in Washington, D.C.
If this dummy can't see it already, he's blind.
Taking Kansas back after the Godless Sebelius 'effed it up.
Lots of stuff interesting coming out of Kansas today!
*I* think the 'Rats are going to get their @sses handed to them in 2014 with true conservative and Tea Party candidates running.
Then Sarah Palin can save America from Herself! :)
The nation is too large and to divided to continue to be governed by an elite political class in DC that extorts 4 trillion dollars a year from those outside the beltway, skims off the top for themselves and their friends, and then deficit spends even more in exchange for votes to keep itself and the Federal apparatchiks living in fat city.
They can only continue this tyranny through the use and threat of violent force and intimidation.
The free states must refuse to participate in the monstrosity on the Potomac by refusing to send vote for or send representatives to Congress, not sending income taxes to the IRS, and by forming alliances with other states of like mind.
The Governors have National Guard at their disposal and must be ready to use them for defense if the Washingtonians invade their territory.
The greatest threat to the freedom and liberty of the US Citizen is the Federal Apparatus in DC, not a bunch of towelheads in the middle east and the ones that DC has let infiltrate the American Continent.
Ragheads and moslems would have to leave the new federations of free states.
Right On Diana!
I remember gridlock being a recipe for prosperity.
What divides the country is the ruling class and those that make this country great (everybody else).
A new RTW bill was introduced in Ohio a couple of weeks back too.
I'm sure the folks in New York and Illinois enjoy having one party rule at all levels of government. The folks at Pew, in their delusional minds, think those two states are leftist nirvanas and not the economic and social wastelands that the liberals created there.
The South had plenty of single party States in the 50's and 60's.
It's apparently OK to have one party rule as long as it's rule by 'rats.
That's how I pronounce it - Phew.
Basic reality is that vote manufacturing will not buy you state houses. In other words, the demoKKKrats can manufaacture all the votes they want in Philly or Dade County Flori-DUH, the GOP will still win its own districts. Only state-wide or national elections can be swung by vote manufacturing.
WI ain't touchin' that. Quite yet. :)
I'd love to vote for her again. :)
All these ISSUES seem to pop up when Republicans start to win...
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I can only hope....in Oregon, the DEMS and unions run the state legislature
Guess it was ok when the dems held control for several decades.
According to the Pew Charitable Trusts news service Stateline, 26 legislatures have become more Republican since 2003.
It's apparently only "one party control" when Republicans do it. Also, they laugh at the Kansas legislators for taking three months, but Senate Dems managed to take four freagin YEARS! But, you know, it's the Republicans that are incompetent.
Well, obviously it depends on "which" party is running things. Ironic that the 'Pubbies can govern very well at the state level, but somehow can't manage to do the same thing at the national level.
State governments are actually getting things done.
Fair enough, except for two things: They never said a peep when the R's were the minority, it suddenly assumes importance two minutes after D's assume minority status. And...they wanted the minority to have such power it amounted to a veto over what the majority wanted, IOW, the minority would actually have more power than the majority.
So the rule apparently is, if the Dems have the majority, majority rules. If the Dems are a minority, then the minority needs to be able to veto the majority.
Yes, it is.
Heck, forget Kwame.
You got to love it when a rat MI Supreme Ct. Justice goes to federal prison for bank fraud.
Can't wait to be a thorn in the side of Schauer and campaign fraud.
Disgraced ex-Michigan judge Diane Hathaway gets prison for fraud
Will Karl Marx Lenin's open seat be flipped?
Gary Peters is slick and slimy as they come, but oh does he have a record.
I became convinced quite some time ago that even if you gave the Republicans 100% of the seats, they still wouldn't do what is necessary to save the country.
Divided national government, in our time, is a recipe for dysfunction.Besides this internal contradiction, governments *needs* to be divided to avoid single party state rule and over-legislating.
When I think Blue State I think rust belt.
Imo, it's the existence of a glom of ideologies hostile to the very existence of the US being the foundation of one wing of our bi-party system that's "dividing the nation".
And, when someone's whining about politics dividing the nation, they usually mean everyone who's standing up to the commiescum should just stfu and lay down.
It may have been introduced, but there isn't the kind of lockstep, get-it-done-at-all-cost support that was there with SB5 or with other states' bills of this nature. When the last memorable/major losses were non-union(NCR) or bailout-related(GM) as well as a non-union manufacturer like Honda thriving without it, a case for RTW is hard to make aside from "catching up with the Smiths and Joneses".
Ohio has been more middle-of-the-road than Michigan or Wisconsin, and was about par with Indiana. Given that the first attempt in 1958 was disastrous, the path to GOP control has been to steer clear of controversial(yes, thanks mostly to Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland) bills like RTW.
If I am to be forced to live in a single party state, it sure the hell isn't going to be their party.

Gordon Claude Wateridge pleaded not guilty to 17 counts involving five alleged victims between 1970 and 1974 at the Haut de la Garenne children's home.
The 77-year-old, originally from Croydon, south London, pleaded not guilty at Jersey Royal Court to 15 charges of indecent assault on girls under 16 and one count of incitement to indecent assault on a girl under 16.
He also denied one count of assault on a boy aged between 12 and 13 and his case was adjourned to November 25 for directions with a trial expected on April 20 next year.
Michael Aubin, 46, from Southampton, is charged with six counts of indecent assault on boys, two counts of sodomy and two counts of procuring an act of gross indecency.

Your safety list is very complete, good job. I wish more people would put the time into it. A few things I would add. Become real familiar with how to use the MOB device on your GPS if you have that capability. Also when summer comes and the water gets warm enough practice MAN OVER BOARD drills every once in awhile they can be fun and it can save a life down the road. If you have never done that you find out how hard it is to get a person back in a boat in even choppy conditions. Learn how bring your bow up into the wind and steady it while trying to pick someone out of the water. Never leave your stern facing a rough sea as you may all end up in the water. Sport fishing boats are very easy to swamp from the stern.
Juro's idea of the epi-pen is right on be it a heart attack, bee string reaction or in our Pacific NW we have lots of Jelly fish that sting and can cause a reaction in some. As you venture further out towards the Gulf Stream you may find them there also and some barbs stuck to your flyline could cause problems for some. My wife who is a physcian put 4 of them in our med kit and every time I go in that thing for hangover relief medication I get nervous just looking at them.
Last always make a plan and let your loved ones know where you are going. If your plans change while at sea call someone and let them know. So many people leave plans with others then when they change them they never call and let them know the changes. They proceed to break down or get in trouble later the people they left the original plans with call the Coast Guard and they look where you originally said you would be and guess what you are miles away from that area drifting toward Greenland.
Best of luck with your deep water fly fishing this year.

Lemon Love! June 28, 2015 Such a refreshing and delicious scent. Works like any good scrub, leaves skin soft, and with a clean/sweet smell. Think lemon meringue pie for your skin! 5
Excellent product January 23, 2015 Purchased Excellent product Exfoliates well. It is a little harsh on sensitive skin but you can use less pressure on your skin and not use more than once a week. Leaves skin soft and smooth 5
Love this stuff! March 12, 2014 Purchased The Lemon sugar body scrub is one of the best-smelling scrubs I've ever found. In addition, it WORKS. People compliment my skin being so smooth, and I always recommend this as the reason. 4
Yummy Scent March 1, 2014 Great lemon scent. Smells good when you use it, but doesnt leave you smelling like Pledge. Texture isnt too rough either. 4
like Fresh for half the price January 23, 2014 Purchased The lemon sugar scent of this is very similar to Fresh's lemon sugar products, but the price is more appealing. Nice effective sugar scrub. 5

My Lonely and Beautiful Country: Recent Work on the Cinema of Turkey (Part One)

Upon being awarded the Best Director honor at Cannes in 2008 for his film Üç Maymun [Three Monkeys]—becoming the first Turkish director to receive this award—Nuri Bilge Ceylan declared that he wanted to dedicate the award "To my lonely and beautiful country, which I love passionately." Ceylan's words are very much in keeping with the melancholy quality of his films themselves: one thinks of the protagonist of his previous film, İklimler [Climates], played by Ceylan himself, a solitary figure wandering through the almost unimaginable mountainous beauty of Ağrı, in the snowy eastern province of Turkey, or the two heroes of his 2002 film Uzak [Distant], who take turns staring out across the Bosphorus, shot by Ceylan to maximize its almost painful loveliness. (I have not yet had the chance to see Ceylan's latest film, Bir Zamanlar Anadolu'da [Once Upon a Time in Anatolia], reviewed here, which was recently honored at Cannes, but it is clearly a continuation of his melancholic project.) But what exactly is this "loneliness" of Turkey that Ceylan wished to share with that audience in Cannes?
[Still image from Nuri Bilge Ceylan's İklimler (Climates)]
A full answer to this question would have to consider the particular nature of Turkish national identity, located in the most literal sense between East and West, bridging Asia and Europe. In the much more narrow terms of literary and cultural studies, the particularity of Turkey, and of Turkish literature, film, and culture, has sometimes caused it to be marginalized, in part because it does not fit any of the existing paradigms: not part of the traditional sense of "European" culture, but also not able to fit into a new category such as postcolonial culture. If it was to be found anywhere, it would be within the category of Middle Eastern culture, but even here, the fit has hardly been a comfortable one.
In terms of the cinema of Turkey (I follow Asuman Suner in using the designation "the cinema of Turkey" rather than "Turkish cinema," since the former phrase "places the emphasis not so much on 'Turkishness' as ethnic identity, but on Turkey as a geopolitical entity and a locus of divergent ethnic, religious, and cultural identities"), this problematic takes on a very particular form. Until the past decade, there were almost no Turkish auteurs receiving international attention. Occasionally, an individual film would receive international acclaim—Metin Erksan's Susuz Yaz [Dry Summer] won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1964, and Yılmaz Güney's masterpiece Yol [The Way] shared the Palme d'Or 1982—but by and large, in spite of a large body of strong work (particularly work influenced by the social realist and neo-realist traditions), the cinema of Turkey has generally not figured on the map of international cinema, neither acknowledged as part of the European artistic tradition nor recognized in the way that the various national cinemas that have contributed to the "Third Cinema" tradition have. At the same time, while it has boasted a large and influential popular film industry since the 1950s, Turkey's Yeşilçam (the industry's nickname, which comes from a street in the Beyoğlu section of Istanbul that was the heart of the film industry) has also not received much international attention, in part because, despite its size, it never achieved the sort of regional influence that the industries of India or Egypt achieved through the dissemination of films outside their national borders. For all these reasons, cinema studies, particularly cinema studies in English, has by and large produced very little work dealing with the cinema of Turkey.
This attitude may be beginning to change. The work of contemporary filmmakers such as Ceylan, Zeki Demirkubuz, Yeşim Ustaoğlu, and Semih Kaplanoğlu, not to mention the growing reputation of the Turkish German director Fatih Akın, has caught the attention of cineastes. Meanwhile, the popular film industry in Turkey, which had suffered a period of decline in the 1980s and 1990s, has grown much stronger in recent years, and the growing Turkish communities in Europe and the United States has meant that Turkish popular films have begun to find a wider audience outside Turkey. This moment might allow us, not just to consider the current cinema of Turkey, but also to take the opportunity to revisit the full history of a national cinema that has not as yet received the international attention that it deserves. The three books under consideration in this two-part review essay—Gönül Dönmez-Colin's Turkish Cinema: Identity, Distance, and Belonging (considered here), Asuman Suner's New Turkish Cinema: Belonging, Identity, and Memory, and the edited collection Cinema and Politics: Turkish Cinema and the New Europe (both of which will be considered in part two of this review)—taken together, do an admirable job of laying the cornerstone for a new generation of work in English on the cinema of Turkey.
In her introduction to Turkish Cinema: Identity, Distance, and Belonging, Gönül Dönmez-Colin notes that "Scholarship on Turkish cinema is rather new and the sources available in languages other than Turkish are limited"; she cites this general lack of scholarship as her "motivation in venturing into a study of a film industry that offers challenges in its diversity, originality, and uniqueness." Dönmez-Colin comes to this challenge having written two previous books on film from the Middle East and Central Asia and having edited the collection The Cinemas of North Africa and the Middle East. In Turkish Cinema, she displays an encyclopedic knowledge of the cinema of Turkey from its inception in the early years of the twentieth century to its twenty-first century developments. While it is not without its weaknesses, Turkish Cinema is precisely the sort of book that could help to anchor the developing field of Turkish cinema studies in English.
Dönmez-Colin frames the book around the themes of identity, distance, and belonging (although, I would argue, one of the book's strengths is that it does not force its analysis of the films she discusses into any sort of tight coherence around these three themes), and she returns repeatedly to a sense of the dissonance to be found in Turkish identity itself. She opens with an example from a classic and hugely popular film from 1970, Atıf Yılmaz's Kara Gözlüm [My Dark-Eyed One], starring Türkan Şoray, "the sultana of Turkish cinema" (to use Dönmez-Colin's phrase). The film follows a familiar "star is born" narrative, with Şoray playing the daughter of a fisherman who becomes a famous singer. To prepare her for her new life, she is—in a scenario repeated again and again in Turkish popular culture—assigned to learn from a teacher of etiquette, setting up the inevitable conflict between her old "à la turca" lifestyle and the new "à la franca" culture represented by "Madame" in her cultural lessons.
[Publicity poster for Kara Gözlüm (My Dark-Eyed One). Image via Google Images.]
Dönmez-Colin finds in this oft-repeated scenario a representation of the "polarity of identities" that continues to affect Turkish cultural identity to this day, the polarity between East and West and, more recently, between religious and secular identities. Implicit here as well is the literal, geographical split in the city of Istanbul itself, between the "European" side and the "Anatolian" side (represented nicely, in Dönmez-Colin's book, by a still from Ceylan's film Uzak, in which, as Dönmez-Colin's caption puts it, "the disillusioned artist/intellectual has a moment of reflection on a bench facing the Anatolian coast and perhaps begins to see the point of view of the provincial, his suppressed 'other'"). Indeed, one of the striking points about the cinema of Turkey is that it often reflects some of the themes and styles found in what Hamid Naficy has called "exilic cinema" (Naficy's work is a point of reference for both Dönmez-Colin and Suner), but the "distance" represented in films such as Ceylan's Uzak is reflective not of the sense of displacement found through literal exile outside the boundaries of the nation, but rather of a pervasive displacement within Turkish society (and, indeed, even within the city of Istanbul) itself.
Rather than taking an auteurist approach and focusing on specific filmmakers (with the exception of a chapter dedicated to the work of Yılmaz Güney—although, even in this chapter, Dönmez-Colin seems more interested in viewing Güney's films as symptoms of their historical moment rather than as examples of the interconnected body of work of an auteur), Dönmez-Colin divides the book into a series of thematic chapters, organized around interlocking themes: "In Search of Identity"; "Migration, Dis/Misplacement and Exile"; "Denied Identities"; "Gender, Sexuality and Morals in Transition"; and "A Modern Identity or Identity in a Modern World." As the chapter titles suggest, Dönmez-Colin's interest is in large themes, and each chapter moves through several decades in tracing these themes.
Indeed, the first chapter traces the history of the cinema of Turkey back to its origins before the founding of the Turkish Republic. Her fascinating (if brief) overview of these early origins provides, in miniature, some of the social and political themes that will recur throughout the book, including the government's involvement with the film industry. For example, Dönmez-Colin suggests that a documentary called Ayastefanos'taki Rus Abidesinin Yıkılışı [The Demolition of the Russian Monument at St. Stephan], shot by Fuat Uzkınay, an Ottoman army officer, in 1914 and considered as the first national film according to the official history of Turkish cinema (although there are no surviving copies of the film, and some researchers have questioned whether its existence is anything more than a myth), was made as part of a series of propaganda events "organized by the Union and Progress Committee to improve public opinion." The first official cinema institutions were placed under the control of the army, and the shooting of the first feature film, Himmet Ağanın İzdivacı [The Marriage of Himmet Ağa] (1918), was suspended when most of the cast and crew were recruited to serve in the Dardanelles. Once shooting was resumed, the film's Romanian director, Sigmund Weinberg, was replaced by Uzkınay after war broke out between Romania and the Ottoman Empire. This early history, Dönmez-Colin argues, was central in "establishing a solid relationship between the army and cinema, which has manifested itself overtly or covertly over the decades." It also reveals a deep interpenetration between cinema and state politics in the very origins of Turkish cinema.
These early years were followed, during the first two decades of the Republic, by a period dominated by films made by theater directors, in particular Muhsin Ertuğrul, who made the first sound film in Turkish cinema and was also the first Turkish director to receive international acclaim, winning an award at the Venice Film Festival in 1934. Dönmez-Colin likens the hegemony of Ertuğrul during this "Period of the Theater Men" to "the one-party system of the early years of the Republic"; similarly, she suggests that the next cinematic era, "The Period of Transition," "was a transition period for Turkish politics as well." The guiding event that she uses to mark the third period in the cinema of Turkey, the rise of the Yeşilçam film industry, is in turn linked to the ascendance to power of the Democrat Party in 1950, since the DP advocated a form of populism that was reflected in classic Yeşilçam films by directors such as Lütfi Ö. Akad, Atıf Yılmaz, Metin Erksan, and Memduh Ün. The 1960s signal the next phase in Dönmez-Colin account, with the emergence of "a new kind of cinema…influenced by social and political changes in the country," particularly the military coup of 1960. The ouster of the Democrat Party and the establishment of a progressive constitution, in Dönmez-Colin's account, ushered in a more relaxed atmosphere, reflected in films that experimented with social realism, including Erksan's Susuz Yaz [A Dry Summer], Güney's widely-praised first film At, Avrat, Silah [Horse, Woman, Gun] (1966), and Akad's Hudutlarin Kanunu [The Law of the Borders] (1966), co-written by and starring Güney, which eventually received wide international acclaim. However, in a sign of things to come, Hudutlarin Kanunu was banned by Turkish censors and prevented from participation in foreign festivals.
[Still image from Hudutlarin Kanunu (The Law of the Borders)]
For Dönmez-Colin, the high point of this period of social realist filmmaking, 1960 to 1965, "reflected the search for identity in a period of rapid transition from traditionalism to modernism." She sees the period that follows as marked by a split between directors like Halit Refiğ, who saw Yeşilçam as the true national cinema and advocated a rejection of Western avant-garde forms, and advocates of the "New Cinema," who hoped to introduce modes borrowed from European art cinema into the cinema of Turkey. The films of Yılmaz Güney were rare exceptions that managed to bridge this split—his work, such as the 1970 film Umut [Hope], managed to achieve commercial success and was also revered by the New Cinema group—but his career was decimated by political repression and cut short by his untimely death in 1984.
There followed a period of general decline; while directors influenced by Güney continued to draw praise from international audiences, the late 1970s are generally seen as the end of the Yeşilçam era, as the industry succumbed to the loss of audience occasioned by the arrival of television and the flooding of the market by Hollywood films. The coup of 1980 put a close to this phase; what followed, according to Dönmez-Colin, was "another crisis of identity in Turkish cinema." The split that emerged from this moment of cultural and political crisis was similar to the one that marked the previous era—between those, like Şerif Gören and Sinan Çetin, who argued for a robust popular national cinema, albeit one that followed the box-office formulas perfected by Hollywood, and those, like Ceylan, Zeki Demirkubuz, Yeşim Ustaoğlu, and Semih Kaplanoğlu, associated with the "New Turkish Cinema" (or the "New New Cinema," as some called it) and its art house tradition—although the contemporary contestation lacks something of the politically-charged nature of the debates of the 1960s and 1970s. "Corresponding to the geopolitics of the country," Dönmez-Colin concludes, falling (as she occasionally does) into the realm of the cliché, "Turkish cinema has turned its head towards the West while its feet are grounded on the soil of the East."
Dönmez-Colin manages to make her way through this history in approximately fifty pages. As this suggests, her strength, as a critic, is in painting with a broad brush, which makes Turkish Cinema an ideal book for readers looking for an overview of the cinema of Turkey. Particularly excellent is her chapter "Gender, Sexuality, and Morals in Transition," where she moves through literally decades worth of films, tracing the changes (and lack thereof) in the representation of women. One particularly admirable aspect of this chapter is that it manages to suggest the powerful performances and pervasive cultural influence of iconic actresses such as Şoray, Fatma Girik, and Müjde Ar, while at the same time not ignoring how the films in which they appeared helped to perpetuate a patriarchal viewpoint. Dönmez-Colin also includes an interesting analysis of the portrayal of same-sex desire in Turkish cinema, beginning with several films of the 1960s that included scenes of lesbian desire, and focusing on the contemporary work of the filmmaker and video artist Kutluğ Ataman. Dönmez-Colin's chapter on Yılmaz Güney, who she clearly admires both for his films and for his political example, is informative and quite moving, and her analysis of the representation of suppressed cultural and political issues in Yeşim Ustaoğlu's films Güneşe Yolculuk [Journey to the Sun] (1999) and Bulutları Beklerken [Waiting for the Clouds] (2004) is also quite strong.
[Still image from Güneşe Yolculuk (Journey to the Sun)]
Dönmez-Colin's weakness, however, is as a reader of individual films. Given her large-canvas approach, this is perhaps an inevitable problem for a book such as Turkish Cinema. Individual films often come up more as examples of larger trends or themes than as cinematic texts to be analyzed in and of themselves; given the sheer number of films that she writes about, her attention to particular films sometimes goes no further than a general overview or plot summary. Issues of form and style seem not to be of much interest, except as they might be analyzed as reflections of larger social realities or as indicators of a film's belonging to a particular "stage" in the development of Turkish cinema. When she is addressing filmmakers whose work she clearly admires—Güney, Ustaoğlu, and Ataman appear to be particular favorites—she will stop to linger over stylistic details and narrative nuances. With other filmmakers, she has less patience, and she can be downright dismissive when addressing the films of filmmakers such as Ceylan and Demirkubuz (although in fairness she spends a significant amount of space on both of them). This unevenness appears to reflect more on her own preferences than on the significance (or lack thereof) of particular filmmakers to the narrative of Turkish cinema that she presents. This is not a complaint in and of itself; indeed, it is rather refreshing to see a book such as this one that is so stamped by the author's individual preferences, and it reveals her to be a critic with a passion for cinema. It does mean, however, that certain readers may come away disappointed with the treatment accorded to particular films and filmmakers (since I am a great admirer of the films of Ceylan and Demirkubuz, I would include myself in this category). However, Dönmez-Colin encyclopedic knowledge of Turkish cinema and her apt encapsulation of large swathes of cultural history help to make up for these shortcomings.

Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac Review
While users report that the Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac is easy to use, its suction power seems to be lacking and the battery is a problem. According to reviews, the vacuum runs for only a few minutes at a time and the battery soon stops holding a charge. The attachments are also not up to par; this machine comes with only a crevice tool.
The main problem with the Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac (starting at $40, Amazon) seems to be the battery. Some users posting Shark hand vac reviews on Amazon say the battery doesn't hold a charge long enough to get through even the first cleaning, or works only a few times before it dies for good. On top of that, users complain about poor customer service. Consumers posting reviews at Best Buy say the same thing: that the battery either loses a charge halfway through a cleaning job or stops holding a charge entirely, rendering the whole machine useless. In a review at Walmart, a user suggests the vacuum itself doesn't last long either: The brush started getting stuck after eight months of sporadic use, leaving the vacuum unable to pick anything up. The Euro-Pro SV75 Shark Cordless Hand Vac doesn't offer much in the way of features. It comes with only a crevice tool and uses a standard filter. This vacuum weighs in at 4.8 pounds and carries a one-year warranty (which may come in handy from the sound of it).
Shark hand vac reviews indicate that neither the battery nor the vacuum itself has a long lifespan and customer service leaves something to be desired. With so many good, cheap handheld vacuums out there, you're likely better off spending your money elsewhere.

API flaws in the social networking platform Twitter.

Aviv Raff, who worked with HD Moore on the "Month of Browser Bugs" project, will start a Month of Twitter Bugs dedicated to highlighting the security deficiencies that put millions of Twitter users at risk. The security researcher turned his focus on Twitter last year, starting the Twitpwn website to highlight Twitter vulnerabilities.
In a blog posting announcing the Month of Twitter Bugs project, Raff said the Month of Browser Bugs provided examples of how "unexploitable" vulnerabilities could be used by an attacker for remote code execution. It exposed 31 browser holes, most affecting Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The Twitter bug project will officially launch in July.
There has been an interest in Web-based vulnerabilities and the increased threat of data leakage associated with the rising use of social networking platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and others. Security professionals are under pressure to relax security policies to allow employees to use the platforms for marketing and other business needs, according to some recent surveys.
Raff has taken issue with Twitter's API, which allows developers of related programs to tap into Twitter services. By exploiting a vulnerability in a Twitter service or application that uses the API, it could be used as a springboard, allowing the creation of Twitter worms, Raff said. The Month of Twitter Bugs will accept submissions of vulnerabilities discovered in third-party Twitter services.
"I hope that Twitter and other Web 2.0 API providers will work closely with their API consumers to develop more secure products," Raff wrote on his blog.
Raff said his project could have focused on bugs in any Web-based social networking website. APIs used for Facebook, LinkedIn and others are vulnerable to third-party vulnerabilities that tap into their services.
The "Month of' bugs have come under scrutiny from security bloggers in the past who criticized the disclosure projects for being designed for press attention rather than better security. Some security professionals said the projects had become the cyber equivalent of a vigilante, smashing down doors and leaving them open for any attacker to exploit.

Courtesy of the Boeke Lab, our violacein biosynthesis genes VioA, VioB, VioC, VioD and VioE have been codon-optimized for yeast and designed to ligate with yeast specific promoters and UTR terminators. To assemble full expression cassettes for each gene, the genes have been fitted with flanking restriction sites as per the Golden Gate or "off-cutter" assembly method. This allows for single-reaction, gapless, ordered assembly of multiple parts simultaneously.Violacein Open Reading Frame (ORF) construct:
- XmaI site/BsaI site/Violacein ORF/inverted BsaI site/SphI site.
Due to the size of the above constructs, we received them in pieces, or 'building blocks'. VioA, C, D came in two building blocks. VioE was small enough to come in one piece, while VioB--around 3kb in length--came in 4 building blocks. Each building block overlaps its counterpart, and within the overlap region is a unique restriction enzyme site. By digesting both blocks with the right restriction enzyme, they can be ligated together into to make a full construct such as the one above.
The flanking XmaI and SphI sites were added for the easy insertion of the ORF into a vector double digested with XmaI and SphI. In addition to the Vio ORF's, the 12 promoters and terminators have flanking BsaI sites as above. The flanking BsaI sites on the ORF are designed for addition of the promoter and the terminator in the right spot, thus creating a viable Violacein gene expression cassette designed for yeast.
BsaI is an off-site restriction enzyme, which allows the design of a synthetic sticky overhang of your choice. For further details, we have added a Request for Comment (RFC) dedicated to a form of BsaI gene assembly called "Golden Gate Assembly."
Violacein loxPsym Integration
We are also taking advantage of our collection of Golden Gate Assembly-compatible yeast promoters, 3'UTRs, and violacein ORFs by efficiently creating a combinatorial library which will then be integrated into the yeast genome by Cre-Lox recombination. Our promoters, ORFs, and 3'UTRs have custom overhangs such that following digestion with BsaI, they should only ligate in the correct sequence, along with a loxPsym linker. This means that we can combine our 12 promoters, 5 ORFs, and 12 3'UTRs together with the loxPsym linker in one tube to form 720 (12x5x12) possible expression casettes that have violacein ORFs paired with promoters and 3'UTRs of varying strengths. These expression cassettes will then be transformed into a yeast strain containing synIXR, a synthetic right arm of chromosome IX that contains 43 loxP sites where, in the presence of estradiol, the Cre-EBD fusion protein will catalyze random shuffling of DNA between loxP sites. The end result should be yeast with varying levels of violacein expression.
