Somehow the government is sticking with an outlook that sees crude prices not hitting triple digits until 2015.
It is an estimate that would get smirks on Wall Street and get you laughed out of the room at the peak oil conference in D.C.
Just look at the chart on right to see why.
The crude trend line from 2003 to 2008 headed for $120 and higher, and it was only interrupted by the global recession. Now we're getting back on track and oil cracked $90 this week.
This chart comes from seminal peak oilist Chris Skrebowski's presentation at the ASPO-USA conference.

Elite Prospect Michael Dutchover Highlights "Path to Glory" Undercard Friday Night
Michael Dutchover (4-0, 4 KOs), left, stars in the "Path to Glory" undercard on Friday night
ORANGE, Calif. (June 19, 2017) – Junior lightweight Michael Dutchover (4-0, 4 KOs), a highly accomplished amateur and recently turned professional, highlights Friday night's "Path to Glory" undercard from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.
Watch Dutchover vs. Carrizoza and the rest of the 6-fight card on TB Presents: Path To Glory, live streaming on ThompsonBoxing.com and Facebook Live beginning at 7:45 p.m. PST / 10:45 p.m. EST.
Tickets for "Path to Glory" are priced at $40, $60, & $100 and are available for purchase online at ThompsonBoxing.com, or by calling 714-935-0900.
Dutchover, who trains in Southern California but resides in Midland, Tex., faces his toughest opponent to date: once-beaten Miguel Carrizoza (10-1, 2 KOs) of Hermosillo, Mex.
The bout marks Dutchover's second 6-round fight of his young career. He stormed into the paid ranks with four straight knockout wins.
"The plan this year is to up my level of competition," said Dutchover, who recently sparred with world title challenger Petr Petrov. "I know I'm ready for the challenge. I want to work my way to the top, and in order to do that I need to challenge myself."
Dutchover had a successful amateur run that saw him win nine national titles, a bronze at the 2015 U.S. Olympic Trials, and a runner-up finish at last year's National Golden Gloves competition. Dutchover, 19, believes he was built to fight professionally.
"As an amateur, I often boxed in the pro-style," said Dutchover, who counts Danny Zamora, older brother Junior Dutchover, and Javier Gomez as coaches. "I didn't really throw a lot of quick, small punches that define the amateurs. I was more aggressive in my approach. I worked the body and threw a lot of power shots."
Detailed opponent scouting reports in the early years of a boxer's professional career are often not available. Dutchover has an idea of what to expect from Carrizoza, but he will rely mostly on his extensive amateur background.
"I had such a long amateur career that I've seen basically every style in the book," said Dutchover, who is promoted by Thompson Boxing and Banner Promotions. "I'm going to adapt in the ring and be prepared for whatever he brings. I had an excellent training camp. I'm in great shape and ready to go after another win."
In the 8-round main event, rising lightweight prospect Manuel Mendez (15-1-2, 11 KOs) of Indio, Calif. hopes to extend his knockout win streak against Mohamed Rodriguez (9-4, 3 KOs) of Mexico.
In the 8-round co-feature, the technically polished Jesse Roman (21-3, 10 KOs) of Santa Ana, Calif. puts his boxing skills to the test against Erick Martinez (13-7-1, 7 KOs) of Tijuana, Mex.

Windsor gearing up for royal wedding rehearsal
It comes as reports say Meghan Markle's father will be "heartbroken" to miss his daughter's big day.
A rehearsal for the royal wedding is due to take place in Windsor later.
Some 250 members of the armed forces are expected to take part in Saturday's festivities, lining the streets as the newlywed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle head on a 25-minute carriage ride through the town.
But as the big day nears, it was reported that Ms Markle's father has been left "heartbroken" as he will miss the wedding.
Thomas Markle is said to have successfully undergone heart surgery on Wednesday to implant three stents, so will be unable to give his daughter away as he needs time to recover.
He told US website TMZ he was "OK", although it will take a "long time to heal".
"Staying in the hospital a few more days. Not allowed to get excited," he said.
On Wednesday, Thomas Markle Jr, the brother of Ms Markle, visited Windsor to see where his sibling will marry Prince Harry.
He told the Mirror: "My dad will be heartbroken that he cannot be with Meg in Windsor to walk her down the aisle.
"He would have moved heaven and earth to be there."
Mr Markle Jr said his sister will be a "perfect modern princess" and "one of the best things ever to have happened to the royal family".
Members of Ms Markle's family have travelled to the UK amid intense attention from the world's media.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, her half-sister, Samantha Markle, was reportedly injured following a "paparazzi confrontation" in Florida.
Her partner, named by TMZ as Mark, told the website that their car hit a concrete barrier after attempting to avoid a photographer.
Ms Markle had apparently been left with a broken ankle and a fractured knee and was receiving treatment in hospital, he said.
Mr Markle Jr reportedly said Kensington Palace should have offered his father more guidance about how to handle the intense media spotlight.
Pictures of Mr Markle Sr appeared in a number of British newspapers, which it later emerged were staged, prompting him to drop out of the wedding, telling TMZ he did not want to "embarrass the royal family or his daughter".
Mr Markle Sr changed his mind and said he wanted to be "part of history" and would travel to the UK, but the surgery meant he was prevented from travelling.
Samantha Markle told The Sun she was worried about her father and claimed she had wired money to the 73-year-old.
She said: "He is badly in need of help. I'm dreadfully worried about him.
"He's completely on his own."
Despite her parents divorcing when she was six, Harry's future wife has remained close to her father.
Responding to reports surrounding her father's attendance at the wedding, Kensington Palace said on Monday that it was a "deeply personal moment for Ms Markle."

Happy belated Valentine's Day! I hope you had as great of a time as Jay and I did this year. We were impatient and actually opened our presents 5 days early, but we still had an amazing Skype date on the 14th. We planned to cook fancy meals together on Skype and then eat together. On top of that, we ended up watching two movies together! It was one of the best Valentine's Day celebrations I've ever had even though we weren't physically together.
We started the day separately but reconvened around my lunch time. Neither of us was that hungry yet so we opened our cards (that was the one thing we waited to open…everything else was opened early, oops!) and chatted a bit. Then we decided to watch a romantic comedy together. We settled on one starring Hugh Grant called About a Boy and prepped our ingredients while we watched.
Then came the good part…cooking dinner! I decided to make risotto for the first time ever and chose prosciutto and parmesan as my flavor. Jay made a combination of two of his favorite meals, chicken parmesan and pizza! I had such a wonderful time cooking with Jay, especially since he could guide me through the risotto-making process. Both meals turned out great and it was awesome to eat together. It's been a long time since we coordinated a meal so it meant a lot just to share that moment.
For dessert Jay bought a heart-shaped gevulde koeken, the cookie we made for Christmas time. I was a little bit jealous….but I had an awesome dessert as well! I used a heart cookie cutter to remodel my stroopwafel into a Valentine's dessert. It made us both feel really connected to share something so simple as heart-shaped desserts.
After the meal we still weren't tired of each other yet so we decided to watch another movie. Love Actually, although it's technically a Christmas movie, was the perfect way to end our Valentine's date. It was honestly the best Valentine's Day that I've celebrated, and far better from last year!
How did you spend your Valentine's Day this year? Is there a Valentine's tradition that you share together? Spread the love and share those happy moments in the comments. ❤
This post was inspired by the prompt: Celebrate

If you or a loved one has sustained an injury in a slip and fall accident, an experienced Massapequa slip and fall attorney at James J. Quail & Assoc., P.C. can help you pursue compensation. Admitted to practice personal injury and premises liability law since 2000, we have a solid understanding of the various aspects and issues involved in pursuing these types of claims. Our Massapequa firm has been able to secure favorable settlements for countless clients throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties.
Set up a free consultation by calling us at (516) 246-2449 today.
The most common types of premises liability claims are slip & fall and trip & fall accidents.
When a person slips and falls, he or she may suffer from a number of painful and debilitating injuries, including injuries to the back or spinal cord, neck injuries, paralysis, brain injury, internal bleeding or bruising, broken or fractured bones, and more. All of these injuries will likely require a great deal of medical care and rehabilitation, and may prevent the victim from being able to work or continuing to enjoy the same quality of life he or she had before the accident.
A slip and fall claim based on a person slipping and falling on someone's property which results in an injury to that person. For any premises liability case to be valid, there must be proof that the property owner's negligence violated the reasonable safety of the visitor(s).
If there is no negligence, there is no case. Some examples of negligence include such actions as not using wet floor signs while or after a floor has been mopped, failing to repair damaged stair rails or sidewalks, or even leaving dangerous tripping hazards out. Serious injuries can occur from a slip and fall accident, having lasting consequences for the victim. In order to file a slip and fall claim, there are very exact procedures that must be met. Evidence needs to be gathered and complete documentation of the incident must be made.
At James J. Quail & Associates, P.C., we understand how important it is for you to recover just compensation. Our Massapequa slip & fall lawyer has knowledge of all required legal procedures involved in these types of claims and can help you file a strong claim. More than that, we can ensure that you claim is filed correctly, increasing the likelihood that justice will be served.
Now is the time to call on our firm at (516) 246-2449. We can discuss your case today.

Deanna is a promising illustrator. She belongs to the kind of people who have the capacity to create and include you in their own world thanks to a wild imagination.
• Who are you and what do you do?My name is Dee. I am a professional student, currently at OCAD University for Illustration and previously at McMaster for Theatre&Film and Philosophy. Aside from a student I would say I am an idealist, and a creator. What I really do is design worlds, make pictures, and tell stories. My work is often whimsical and detailed. I especially enjoy arranging live scenes of people and objects as reference for my paintings.
• Why does this project matter to you?It feels like you belong to a community, when you meet other creative people. It is inspiring to learn what others do, and how they do it, and you can take that into your own practice. Even answering these questions forces you to see your own work from a new perspective.
This project opens windows for connection-making and potential collaboration. But most importantly, the more art you experience, (and even just the more experiences you have), the more "stuff" you have to draw on for your art.
• What projects are you up to?I have just created a blog for my website to create a smorgasbord of inspiration through new techniques I learn, experiences I have, things I read, and will not all be directly related to art.
I am currently learning and experimenting with Blender, an open-source 3D animation software. Once I am proficient enough, I would like to create an animated short. I took a challenging introductory course, which gave me the foundation I need to work on it on my own.
I am also developing my ideas for a series of body painting photographs. I hope to collaborate with Juliette on this project.
Though I have not begun working on it yet, I would like to begin model-making. Working in miniature is cathartic in a way. It will also allow me to create worlds in a much more tangible way.
• What is your main career goal?Ideally I would hope to work as a concept artist for a film studio, animation studio, or video game company, designing props, sets, characters, environments, etc. This would allow me to imagine and create, visually, the world or personality of a story or character and see it come to life. I also hope to collaborate with a writer on a children's book or book cover to be published. It would be exciting to see my art in a bookstore, or in someone's home.
• What made you throw yourself in the artistic world?As a child I was always interested in design and invention. I would design my own clothes, make up my own alphabets and secret codes. I even invented an entire world that involved levels of magic, secret agents, and numerous gadgets. In order to get these ideas out, I would draw them. As time progressed I got better at drawing, and the drawing itself became enjoyable. I received a sketchbook for my 11th birthday, half full with images cut out from magazines that I copied. Though not a creative endeavor, it made me fall in love with drawing. So out of a passion for design came a passion for art.
I have also always had a great passion for film. The complexity of a story, characters, imagery, sound, and music, all working together, really appealed to me because there are so many facets of art I enjoy and film encompasses them all.
A combination of all of it threw me into the art world, and continues to inform my art and what I hope to do as a career
• What work in your artistic field impresses you?The work of Valerio Fabretti is magical and fun. His images are full, with warm lighting and are always very cozy.
Karl Simon's concept art for Les Miserables is beautiful and ambient. He has worked on a number of other well-known films.
Alex Grey's entrancing spiritual and meditative paintings are beautiful and overwhelming in their enormous size.
Graeme Base's book, Animalia, has such detailed, full images. You can stare at them constantly and continue to find something new.
One particular piece of 3D animation that impresses me, and that I love to watch, is the character of Baymax from the film Big Hero 6. He is such a simplistic form, hardly any shape or colour, no feet, no nose, mouth, ears, hair, or pupils, and yet his body language clearly expresses emotion and personality in clever and funny ways.
• What is the project you are the most proud of?One of my favourite pieces, conceptually, is my Unique Expression of Love piece featuring two lovers connected by a force of synapse-like glowing strands in place of their heads. It is meant to represent that particular way of communicating that only you and your partner understand.
However, it requires a lot of tweaking. Because of this, I would like to replace it with a series based on the same vision.
Fortune Teller is my other favourite. It is simply a fortune teller's hands hovering over her crystal ball, surrounded by candles and other psychic paraphernalia. My mom was kind enough to model her hands for me. It is not conceptually rich, but I enjoy the lighting and atmosphere.
• Where can we find you?At OCAD of course. But I love Ward's Island, particularly where all the residential houses are, a great place to do some sketches. (Ferry docks at Bay & Queen's Quay)
The Royal is a small cozy theatre with a beautiful interior. The Zero Theorum was on particularly interesting and bizarre movie that I saw there.
Snakes and Lattes (Bloor & Bathurst) or Snakes and Lagers (College & Bathurst) are both wonderful places. I'm a lover of board games. I hope to try them all and I hope to, some day, create my own.
• If Toronto was a person, what kind would it be?A creative, busy person with lots of personality, cultured, accepting, well dressed, enjoys loud music but also a glass of wine. Someone loud, outspoken, tall and thin. The life of the party, but with a dark side.
• Last word for the road?I just wanted to share one of my favourite parts from a movie I love. Finding Neverland is about JM Barrie, the playwright of Peter Pan.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: This is absurd. It's just a dog.
JM Barrie: Just a dog? Just?
JM Barrie [to Porthos]: Porthos, don't listen!
JM Barrie [to Peter]: Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, its just a rock." Just.

New Blood
Part 1 of the Melrose Series
Paul Dorset
Ebook Edition 2011
Beau is an up and coming rising star in the technology company that he works for. His friends are amazed and a little bewildered over the speed in which he is rising. His co-workers notice some unusual things about Beau. Sometimes his personality is a bit off and at other times he looks like he hasn't slept in days.
Lucy is from England and is having difficulty adjusting to the weather in Seattle. She suddenly develops migraine headaches that she is attributing to something in Seattle because she never had them before. In amidst the migraine issues, Lucy tries to develop a relationship with a young man named Ben. The relationship between the two is growing nicely until Ben suddenly disappears. Lucy happens to be roommates with Sabrina, who works at Beau's company also. Enter Beau into Lucy's life.
Honestly, I did not know what to make of this story until I was half way through the book. I vacillated between disliking the book and liking it. Paul Dorset has such a way with his storyline and characters that you don't know what to think. I am certainly glad I hung in there until the end. Now, I can't wait for the next installment to come out.
This is a paranormal at its finest. You have a large technology company who is run by a group called Anons who is a group of people comprised of special souls as you will. Freaks of nature with special skills. As in the case of Beau, a single kiss may mean your demise. The problem is, these talents if not controlled can be your undoing. Not to mention, they are addictive. Lucy's migraines at first, seem to be so out of place in the scheme of the story. But, are they really? How appropriate is this story, at this time? You have power, greed and ambition, love and death, all rolled into one story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This story will have you asking for more by the time you reach the end. I for one, cannot wait until the second book in the Melrose series comes out.
I wish to thank the author for providing me with a copy to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. I was not compensated in anyway except for receiving the book for reviewing purposes.
I give New Blood 4.5 out of 5 stars

The State of Pennsylvania has spent so much on homeland security since Sept. 11 that even the director of that effort says other sources of revenue must be found to continue the effort.
Justifying the need for such expenditures as necessary for the safety of the general public will win more support if officials can show the spending truly enhances citizens' safety.
This week the Associated Press reported that $200 million has been spent so far on post-Sept. 11 security measures. About $50 million of it was federal money this year, but how much Uncle Sam will send the Keystone State in 2003 is unknown now.
Where's it going? In addition to getting 100 new troopers, the state police will get $73 million in other new money, $45 million of which will go toward an information-management system.

And Found
Once the Royal Automobile Club had determined that I hadn't actually had a breakdown and wasn't in danger on the side of a motorway they declined to rush to my assistance beyond putting me in touch with a locksmith.
"£270 pounds call out , can be there by nine p.m. sir."
Politely declining his generous offer I tried another approach. The local Ford garage.
Again a very nice man.
"Well on that model it's an electronically chipped key so we will have to tow it in, break in to the car and get the serial number. Unfortunately we don't keep any record linked to the numberplate on a database. Its going to be around £370 pounds sir."
"No that's alright sir, you use any expletive that you like. I am sure I would in your position"
The whole of the carefully squirreled Hallett Christmas fund was slipping away before my minds eye. After the events earlier in the day this was not so much adding insult to injury as turning the knife and kicking me when I already felt down. Perhaps the great Moo Moo really had deserted me and I was truly alone in an unforgiving universe.
Clutching at a desperate straw I reasoned that I would be quite prepared to work hard for three or four hundred pounds. So I trudged to the big shop. Taking care to avoid aisle 13 I bought a torch for £5 and a second one just in case that one ran out a bit quick.
Trudging (hmm I like that word) back to the pitch black beach I found a suitable stick. I dragged the stick and made a line from the dunes to the tide. Walked a couple of metres to the side and sweeping the torch back and forwards trudged (it was sandy what can I say) back between the tram tracks. A small pool of light in acres of darkness.
And I continued thus for several hours.
Reports of UFOs and ships lost at sea for the night must abound by now, and I expect there will be a write up in The Weekly Witter. I went through various levels of weeping frustration and hysteria. I dragged my stick and swept the torch back and forth. I offered a prayer to St Jude ( the great Moo Moo is seldom offended).
Eventually, unbelievable even now, I found them!
I found a small bunch of keys on a beach a mile long and half a mile wide in the dark!!
Tonight I am buying two lottery tickets, the numbers I shall be using are……..

Well done! Two torches? Had you been brave enough to tackle aisle 13 you would have been told where to find batteries. Maybe you are at that stage in life where you need to attach you keys to your belt......if you have a belt that is!

Oh I am imagining you going up and down that beach for lonely hours until the exultation of finding them. I'm worn out thinking about it . . . . .

Glad you found them--against all odds! I'm always misplacing my keys and imagining the worst (e.g., I threw them away by accident, I left them in the locked car, they have been spirited away by pixies and/or Borrowers). Good on you! Have a great weekend!

Amazing, whats the odds on this happening. So...........what are you going to do now in case it happens again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 9:06 am
I am conscious of the fact that with my Focus, you can easily lock the keys in the car. It works like this. Return to car with shopping, open tailgate, load shopping into car, close tailgate, try to open driver's door ........ still locked. Now where are those keys ....... some idiot put them down in the back of the car next to the shopping! Unlocking the tailgate does not unlock the central locking on the other doors, and the tailgate locks itself every time you close it. I've only done this once, and fortunately Jo was with me, and she had the spare key in her handbag.
Best regards to you all.

vi vi vi voom!!!!!!!! - I thought it was a lot as well. In fact it had me wondering just how hard being a locksmith could be!
anonymous - hmm yes a belt would help with the saggy arsed trousers as well I suppose....
buffalodickdy - I know I know. Trouble is these Ford keys cost a fortune to clone,especially if you only have one of them for some reason.
sablonneuse - you know it really did lighten the day again when I saw them there.
Sparkle Plenty - locking the keys in the car really is a cruel accident isn't it.
davem - Given the strategy that I folowed I think the tide was the only thing against me in the end. As for the future. I am trying to find someone who will make a copy of a chipped key for less that £100 at present. Its either that or leave the car open all the time.
mike - nice to see you. Unfortunately when I bought the car second hand there was no second key.
bittersweet me - get a second key. It is the accident that is bound to happen eventually.

In the middle
I'm literally forcing myself to write this post because I haven't written in a while. I don't know why's that. Maybe it is because I've just been too caught up with watching the Supernatural series, followed by Glee Season 3 which I finished today. Supernatural Season 8 premiers on October 10th and the dates for Glee Season 4 are uncertain. I think my life will change heaps by October, or rather I'm hoping it would. My family thinks something's wrong with me. The truth is I feel like they've always thought so, but they always make it sound like it is something new. I'm actually too used to it. And it's not like I haven't given them reasons to think the way they do about me. But I don't want to meddle with it. This thing, whatever it is, has become bigger than me and I don't think I am capable of changing it. I'm sure you all know the feeling "it is too late". I sort of have that feeling about this one. Or maybe I'm simply not interested in changing anything about it because I don't want to get my hands dirty, if you know what I mean. And the truth is, actually all this is me.
Anyway, I turn 25 in a few days. The fact that I don't want the day to arrive is another matter. I don't want to get older like this. I think I've expressed these sentiments before. And 25 is not just another year if you get what I mean. But I'm still as confused as ever. I don't know what to do with my life. I think it would have been okay if I was 18 or something but that is not how things are. I've planned and planned the past few years with each one failing basically because I don't want it enough. It really sucks to not know what one wants, especially in terms of big life things. And the things I've been crazy enough to pursue like nothing else mattered have failed so far, and I think right now I just don't have the energy. The first one was a guy I was bonkers enough to take embarrassing risks for, the "I never thought I'd ever do that" kind of risks. I wouldn't be surprised if he is well on his way to getting hitched to his present girlfriend. The second one was my very recent surprisingly strange career choice of becoming a Flight Attendant mainly so I could travel the world. It is in no way a strange career choice in general, but if you knew me you'd know why it was a strange one for me. Anyway, this one hasn't worked out so far either. And I'm not sure if I will continue to pursue it. As far as I can tell I've been exploring all kinds of options in my head and a little in action but I don't know what I want enough to pursue. What I do know is I still want to travel very very much. I want to get as far away from this present life as possible. But maybe wishes don't come true. At least that's how it feels like right now.
I'm realizing that lately my posts have mainly been sob stories. And this is just another one of them. Maybe that's why I've been avoiding writing, and maybe it is best to avoid it for a while because if I do write it will most likely than not end up being another sob story. I'm not in my best shape these days but I don't want to keep complaining. And I guess I'll just take it slow from here. But I promise I will get better.

Barry Cowsill, the group's bassist, had been missing in New Orleans since the hurricane in September, but this week his body was identified.
I originally posted this record a while back – by odd coincidence I found this 45 in New Orleans last year. I'll repeat it in his memory, especially as these are rare tracks never put on any Cowsills cd that I know of.
The first incarnation of the Cowsills consisted of four brothers, Bill, Bob, Barry and John, from Rhode Island, managed by their dad.
"All I Really Wanta Be Is Me" / "And the Next Day Too" was their first 45, very fine folky teen garage, released on Johnny Nash's Joda label. Supposedly it was the only record on which they played the instruments instead of studio musicians until they recorded their "In Concert" lp in 1969.
When this 45 was recorded in 1965, Barry would have been only 10 or 11 years old. Within a couple of years the Cowsills went pop with their mom Barbara and sister Susan singing along.

A look at Facebook's New 360 Volumetric Video Cameras
Facebook Unveils Two New Volumetric Video 'Surround360' Cameras, Coming Later this Year. I'm going off to figure out why they qualify as 'volumetric' – I'll be right back.
OK, I got the answer, they are volumetric, here's why.
Facebook today announced two new Surround360 cameras. These hardware initiatives are poised to make facebook 360 videos more immersive. And they are volumetric as they can see – depth!
Unveiled at the company's yearly developer conference, F8, the so-called x24 and x6 cameras are said to capture 360 videos with added "depth information" giving captured video six degrees of freedom (6DoF).
This means you can not only move your vantage point up/down, left/right like before, but now forwards/backward, pitch, yaw, and roll are possible while in a 360 video.
Even the best stereoscopic 360 video cannot go backward and forward, so the idea of a small, robust camera(s) that can record volumetric data, is exciting, especially when you're in the immersive worlds of positional / motion tracking capabilities of the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or PSVR.
On-set Facilities Real-time VFX Compositing Set-ups.
We have had an amazing response to our teams work in real-time compositing and live on-set VFX.
In this post, I will try and tell you more about how we build our real-time VFX set-ups. if you have any questions please use our contact form and one of the team will get right back to you. [UPATE: We have just set up our Facebook Page, like to keep up with new developments]
On-set Facilities Real-time VFX systems, are built by OSF teams in the UK and Madrid, using virtual, 360, 3D environments, camera tracking, hardware compositing tools, color correction software, and game engines.
Various manufacturers provide the vital technology (listed below) and OSF is now working closely with developers and manufacturers to push the boundaries between, CGI, VFX, 3D, Mixed Reality, film, and games.
"So far we have created a great tool for pre-visualisation and real-time VFX. It allows us to record in real-time, live-action foregrounds (with our without live-action sets, using real props and actors) and digitally bake them within HD, 2K, 360º, and 3D Virtual Worlds."
The camera tracking information is captured along with zoom and focus data in FBX, it can then be passed directly to NUKE for on-set compositing or saved to be manipulated later.
Here is a list of the technologies you'll need to explore if you want to build your own real-time compositing set-up and add live VFX to your next production.
We bake in UE4, we comp in NUKE, we create 3D environments and animated characters and elements in 3D Studio Max. Some hardware is OSF own as are the configuration tools and methods. You can always talk to us if you need us.
This is another test with a scene made by Sungwoo Lee, it uses Octane Render in Unity and then baked into UE4, we are now all waiting for Octane render for UE4, and expect a release in the near future. Thanks to Sungwoo for this test.

Sometimes, life calls for indulgences. Indulgences are things that are extraneous or unnecessary, but bring you a lot of pleasure and a little bit of guilt. For example, taking a cab instead of waiting for a bus. Buying Gap clothes that are not on sale. A second helping of _____.
For me, Early Bird granola is an indulgence.
Fresh, crispy, and made with wholesome ingredients, Early Bird granola is simply the best. It's made in teensy batches, the profits of which are donated to GLSEN. So what's the dilemma here? Well, at my local high ends food store, it sells for a whopping $11 a bag. A little bag. And while I love supporting small businesses, my granola habit was breaking the bank. So what did I do? I hauled myself to Whole Foods to buy ingredients and made my own, from the official recipe. And it tastes exactly the same. Success!
Ingredients (makes approximately 7 cups, or 2 Early Bird bags worth):
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, hulled
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds, hulled
- 1 cup coconut chips
- 1 1/4 cup raw pecans, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup, preferably Grade A
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- Coarse salt
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.Place oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, pecans, syrup, olive oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
Mix well to combine.
Spread granola mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until granola is toasted, about 45 minutes.
Let it cool before storing in an airtight jar. I like eating granola with Greek yogurt and fresh berries, or sprinkled over ice cream. How do you eat yours?

Tax fraudster pleads guilty to 28 counts of making false claims to U.S. gov't
An American Samoan woman accused of filing false tax returns for local residents with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), has entered guilty pleas at the federal court in Anchorage, Alaska where she also requested to be allowed to visit her family in the territory for the holidays.
Last month Corina A. Ifopo's attorney filed a motion indicating the defendant's intend to change her plea, without a plea agreement. She resides in Waipahu, Hawai'i, and has been released on her own recognizance with travel prohibited except to the island of Oahu, Hawai'i and Alaska, according to court documents, which also outlined various conditions of release.
Ifopo, 54, was arrested in Honolulu on July 11, 2017 and charged under a 28-count indictment handed down June 20 by a federal grand jury in Anchorage, where she appeared on July 14 and entered a 'not guilty' plea to filing fraudulent tax returns with the IRS for local residents, who do not qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
She appeared yesterday afternoon before US District Court Judge Timothy M. Burgess for the change of plea hearing.
Responding to Samoa News inquiries, federal prosecutor Aunnie Steward said via email from Anchorage that Ifopo "pled guilty to 28 counts of making false claims to the United States government. Sentencing is set for March 7, 2018."
A notice in court records states that no less than seven days prior to the sentencing date, each party shall file a written sentencing memo with the court.
Ifopo's defense attorney didn't immediately respond to Samoa News for comments.
Prior to the change of plea hearing, Ifopo had a bail review hearing earlier in the day, before US District Court Judge Deborah M. Smith based on a defense motion filed last Friday, to amend bail conditions that would allow her to travel outside of the US.
According to the defense, Ifopo would like to travel later this month and she will present a proposal for travel to American Samoa to visit with family during the holiday season and requests temporary release of her passport.
If permitted to travel, once Ifopo receives her itinerary, she will provide a copy to her probation officer, along with the home addresses and contact information of the family members she will be visiting.
Additionally, she will maintain regular telephone contact with her probation officer while traveling and upon her return to Honolulu. Upon returning to the US she will surrender her passport to the U.S. Pretrial Services Office.
Steward told Samoa News that Ifopo was granted leave to return to American Samoa Samoa for one month while pending sentencing.
The federal indictment shows 28 individuals, identified in court documents by their initials, with the dates of when the returns were filed with the IRS or when the IRS refunds were issued.
Total loss to the IRS — shown in the indictment — based on the amounts for the 28 individuals is $167,000, although the US Justice Department had an estimated loss of more than $1.3 million.
The government alleges that Ifopo's crime occurred between 2013 and 2015 with the first IRS refund check issued May 20, 2014 and the last one on Feb. 20, 2016. Ifopo filed tax returns on behalf of over 200 other individuals living in American Samoa — all these individuals don't qualify for the EITC.
Earlier court filings by the defense estimate the "actual loss in false tax returns paid out by the IRS is $167,000" due to the Ifopo's alleged crime; however "the intended loss could exceed $1 million." It also notes the large volume of discovery of over 8,000 pages and 121 financial spreadsheets.
According to the US Justice Department in an earlier statement, the law provides for a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each count and a $250,000 fine or both. Under federal sentencing statutes, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

I was looking for a widget that let's the user number a list of options in order of priority. Something like this
__ One
__ Two
__ Three
Would look like this when they're done
2_ One
3_ Two
1_ Three
Is there something to do this, which also checks that the user numbers each item, and doesn't accidentally use the same number twice?
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on January 04, 2016 at 01:55 AM
I think this Orderable List widget will work for your needs.
The user can drag and drop the list according to their order of preference.
Do inform us if you need further assistance,
- naguibihelekAnswered on January 04, 2016 at 09:32 AM
Christian, Thanks but that is not what I am looking for.
I have used ordered list, and reported issue with that. It gives wrong results compared to my example above. Is there something else that is like my example above.
Thanks. Nagui
- CharlieAnswered on January 04, 2016 at 11:48 AM
Perhaps the following widgets could help?
Although they won't be able to have the order number but they'll be shown in your submissions in order.
Another possible way is to create your own custom script that will order the items in your form. However, you'll need to use the form's full source code.
Let us know if that helps.
- naguibihelekAnswered on January 04, 2016 at 05:18 PM
Thanks. I'll do some testing with these.
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on January 04, 2016 at 08:49 PM
On behalf of my colleague, you are most welcome. Feel free to contact us again if you have any issues with the said widgets.

International Conference on Forest Fires and WUI Fires
May 25-27, 2016 | Aix-en-Provence, France
WUI management for wild fire mitigation has become an increasingly critical stake these last years in many regions of the world with Mediterranean climate, including Europe, Northern Africa, California, South America, Australia, Southern Africa, etc. but also in areas with up to now temperate or tropical climate, as a result of both climate change and land cover change.
But the same fire process affects wildlands and the interfaces, although fuel, fire behavior, fire fighting strategies, vulnerability and values, and even fire micro-local weather conditions may radically differ: the great density of anthropogenic ignition points within WUI threatens forest and wildland, while the great amount of energy of large wildland fires contributes to their destructive power when arriving at WUI.
Following the first ForestFire conference focused on WUI fires in 2013, this second conference will try to sum up the scientific knowledge related to the relationship between WUI fires and wildland fires, and will favor exchanges between researchers and risk managers, security services and general decision-makers on this topic.
Special sessions
Fire science dissemination (Chairman : Susie Kocher, University of California Cooperative Extension).
Small to large scales experimental work (Chairman : Justin Leonard, CSIRO).
Both French and English talks will be accepted with simultaneous translation. Slide translation from English to French could be offered by the organization committee.
Special Announcement
We will have the great honor to welcome, for the ForestFire2016 conference, special guests:
– Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Jacques Bozabalian, Chef de l'Etat-Major Interministériel de la Zone de défense et de sécurité Sud
– Mrs Denise L. Blankenship, Deputy Director, Fire and Aviation Management at U.S. Forest Service
– Mr Gordon Sachs, Disaster & Emergency Operations Specialist at USDA Forest Service
– Mr Alan Goodwin, Chief Fire Officer, Land, Fire and Environment, Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Mr Goodwin will also represent the IAWF (International Association of Wildland Fire), involved in the conference organization.
The three of them will take part to the opening ceremony. In addition, we have a pleasure to announce our keynote speakers for this year's conference:
– Dr. Alexandra Syphard, Conservation Biology Institute, Corvallis, Oregon, United States
– Dr. Donatella Spano, University of Sassari, Environment Director of Sardinia Region, Italy
– Pr. Domingos Xavier Viegas, ADAI, University of Coimbra, Portugal
– Dr. Owen Price, University of Wollongong, Australia

That's so beautiful, Sophie. Don't ever regret your move. The city can always be visited, but the country needs to be in your heart. xReplyDelete
last year a lady told me that life in the city is spoilt once you've experienced living in the country and I can't help but agree, even after 2 short years in this town. sometimes we get restless for the city, for its galleries, cafes and activities but we always feel like we're home when we get back. and having seen your beautiful kitchen, and having sat on your porch in the golden hour and watched the train go by, I think you have made an enviable decision :) xReplyDelete
Hi Soph and Tim just stumbled across your blog, great, fantastic, seems an under statement. Its good to see you made the right move and all is working out for you both and puppy.

I used the La Jolla Swimsuit pattern by Peek-a-Boo patterns. I made the size 8 - K is slender but tall she's is 7 1/2.
I didn't have to tweak the pattern to fit at all. I like how it has nice bottom and front coverage, it's stylish but still girlish.
Fabric is a lycra blend from Girl Charlee that I've had for awhile, I didn't read the description that well when ordering and I thought it was a cotton lycra print for tees, turns out it wasn't. So I have it in both black and white background. Swimsuit lining and the green trim are both from Spotlight. I couldn't get red lycra there, why am I not surprised.
Anyways pattern went together well, I used a combination of 3 thread overlocking for main seams. Zigzagged on the elastic, except for the straps when I used the overlocker. Topstitched with a twin needle.
Anyways year of ethical fashion and all that, so I'm off to make another pair, in something a bit brighter. Stay tuned …...

Just after general manager Jim de Castro took over KFAC-FM in May, he announced that he was going to find "a hole in the Los Angeles radio market and plug it."
Said one KFAC employee: "Somebody came back and said, 'Well, when he's done, the hole will be classical music.' "
Indeed, come this fall, the small but elite group of Los Angeles classical music radio listeners may soon find a gaping hole where their favorite programming used to be.
When KFAC-FM (92.3) was sold in January to Evergreen Media Corp., a large Dallas-based corporation, industry watchers predicted a change for Los Angeles' oldest (more than 50 years) and only commercial classical station. When a company buys a station for a record $55 million, the reasoning went, it may not be able to retain a format that does not generate the revenue and large number of listeners that other formats do. Three of the four other stations owned by Evergreen are rock stations.
Staffers and industry sources believe that mid-September is when KFAC, one of only about 40 classical radio stations nationwide, may stop playing Schubert and Stravinsky and switch over to Sting and Springsteen. They believe classical radio will change drastically over the next few months with the possible loss of KFAC.

Dear sir: Myself , I am suffering from above subject problem [homosexuality]; is possible to cure this problem?I heard some information. Through yoga is possible to cure; please suggest me sir. Anon.
First of all, homosexuality is not a disease so it cannot be "cured." Second of all, homosexuality is only a "problem" if a gay person can't accept his sexuality.
Instead of a "cure," people who are gay and who are uncomfortable with their sexuality should seek self-acceptance instead of self-hatred. A gay or gay-friendly therapist could certainly help, or at the very least counselors in the gay/LGBT center of your city, if there is one.
Although there are groups out there that claim they can "cure" homosexuality, this is a complete lie. Responsible therapists, sexologists, and members of the psychiatric community are united that not only is it impossible to convert people who are homosexual to heterosexuality, but that a great deal of psychological damage can be done just by trying. People who claim to be "ex-gays" are still gay, they simply [try to] abstain from homosexual activity or relationships. Most of these people eventually "succumb" and enter into gay relationships again, because that is what is natural to them. [You can read much more about the ex-gay movement here.]
And no, yoga is no help at all.
One can be a perfectly happy and fulfilled individual being gay. It is not a disease, a sin, or anything terrible or unnatural. There are millions of Out and Proud Gay people living happy and productive lives.
No one needs to "suffer" for being gay. As we used to say in the days of the Gay Activists Alliance, 99% of gay liberation is in the head. Once you realize that there's nothing wrong in being gay and feel better about yourself, the rest is easy.
Please stay in touch if you have any other questions.

In the fall of 2004, Dan Klein, a shy yet brilliant engineering student from Kinnelon in his first year at Rutgers University, had concocted an elaborate practical joke to pull on his friends that required many empty soda cans. When the quirky and beautiful freshman girl he just met at orientation offered to assist his prankster efforts through the halls of their dormitory, he was surprised and intrigued. "He was probably shocked someone wanted to be his partner in crime," laughs Krista Kohlmann, a Manalapan native. Seven years and two graduate degrees after their can search, Dan surprised Krista by proposing while apple picking at Riamede Farms in Chester in 2011. For their May 31, 2013, wedding, the couple chose the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank for its modern elegance and accommodating staff. Bill Murray, the banquet sales manager, recommended an unusual and affordable site to satisfy Krista's wish for an outdoor ceremony: the Fair Haven Dock, a seven-minute trolley ride away. For just $25, Krista and Dan had a personalized ceremony right on the water. Krista, a proud Jersey girl, made their event even more personal using key details from the Garden State. "I chose only small businesses and local wedding vendors in Monmouth County," she says. These vendors, from trolley transportation to chair rentals for the ceremony, were all handled by Krista's friend and planner Jennifer Simon of Pretty Little Details, whose gift to Krista and Dan was allowing them to be guests at their own wedding. Complementing the Jersey theme were nautical tablescapes. "The tables were named for a town or our favorite places in New Jersey, each with a description so our guests could learn why this place was important to us," Krista says, who placed the table names among wooden crates, jars of flowers, nautical lanterns and monkey fist knots. Anchors decorated a mountain of cupcakes, while bouquets were trimmed with navy-and-white striped ribbon and rose boutonnieres were paired with nautical knots. As a nod to their affinity for the classic 1980s film Say Anything, Krista and Dan's first dance was set to "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, as the bride's brother handed out paper boom boxes for guests to hold up, a la John Cusack's character. Later, Krista's brother was also responsible for the choreographed surprise flash mob, which had guests jumping to join the bridal party as they busted out to "It's Raining Men," by the Weathergirls. After a two-week Hawaiian vacation, the couple is now home in Madison.

John Bonham performing Moby Dick is claimed to be good. I can take it or leave it.
Please enlighten me if you truly believe a good drum solo really exists – I am all ears.
Musings on the byways of popular culture
John Bonham performing Moby Dick is claimed to be good. I can take it or leave it.
Please enlighten me if you truly believe a good drum solo really exists – I am all ears.
eddie g says
The only one I don't mind is Ringo's at the end of Abbey Road.
At least I think it's Ringo's.
Junglejim says
Funnily enough, I was thinking about this just the other day.
I treated myself to the Complete A Love Supreme Masters a couple of weeks back ( definitely worth it although it won't fit on the shelf 'cos it's Ladybird book sized) & found myself fixating on Elvin Jones" solo at the start of Pursuanace. It's pretty tasty & as part of the whole piece, just stops short of being too much. ALS is pretty full on so Jones' drumming is in keeping,mI reckon.
However, did make me think of a lot of a lot of rock drummer 'workouts' that grew to be a standard bit of schtick in the 60s & 70s. I wondered if Jones' ( & others) had unintentionally spawned a monster in their wake, perhaps akin to some of the godawful guitar histrionics that inevitably followed Hendrix after he'd 'pushed the envelope'.
I'm aware that Ginger Baker was a big Elvin Jones fan & was also a perpetrator of some incredibly self indulgent biffing ( Ginger Baker's Airforce Live at the Albert Hall f'rinstance).
Understandable to give the drummer some at a gig, but surely a maximum of something like 16 bars should suffice?
Johnny Concheroo says
I was at that Airforce gig at the Albert Hall in January 1970. It made up most of the first Airforce double LP.
There was even a single from the album, Man Of Constant Sorrow, sung by Denny Laine. At 4 mins it was by far the shortest track on the double album.
Junior Wells says
Mike Shrieve ,Santana ,Soul Sacrifice ,Woodstock.
Shrieve was 16 I think. He was right into jazz so wasn't just a thumper.
Vulpes Vulpes says
Mike Shrieve is not a drummer. He is a magician.
Johnny Concheroo says
Yes! Toad by Ginger Baker with Cream.
Preferably the 16 minute live Wheels Of Fire version
Junior Wells says
Would have put money on that contribution
Johnny Concheroo says
Well, it gave Eric and Jack the chance to sneak off for a drink and a fag, or three.
Sitheref2409 says
Michael Jerome. And they are things of wonder and beauty.
I saw him playing in RT's band, and it was mesmerizing to watch
nigelthebald says
Correct answer!
SteveT says
Was just about to post Michael Jerome. On last tour he did a solo with brushes on Al Bowlly's in heaven and it was astounding. Might have only been a couple of minutes long but it was joyous and lyrical if a drum solo can be lyrical. One of my favourite drummers.
minibreakfast says
Johnny Concheroo says
Oh yeah, "What'd I Say" isn't it? Not the best track on the LP unfortunately
aging hippy says
I witnessed Ginger Baker drum solos on at least half a dozen occasions and it did wear a bit thin (1st time was gobsmacking mind you). I found John Bonham's stickwork more of an assault than a drum solo. Jon Hiseman was impressive. The geezer in Ten Years After was entertaining but after seeing Buddy Rich at Ronnie Scott's many years ago I can only say "He's the Daddy".
ruff-diamond says
"The geezer in Ten Years After was entertaining"
Did he do Three Blind Mice?
Junior Wells says
Didn't Ginger Baker when he met Rich say, tactful as ever, say "you've got no left hand"…or right, one of them anyway.
There was nearly fisticuffs.
Carl says
I think it was Nick Hornby (if it was someone else, I'm happy to be corrected) who wrote about attending LZ at Earl's Court. At the start of Bonham's solo he walked out and went across the road for a pint and then got back in just in time to see Bonham finishing.
That, for me, is the essence of how drum solos should be treated.
The one's that used to piss me off were the guys who would apparently come to an end, get a bit of applause which would then spur them on to another five minutes tub-thumping.
Johnny Concheroo says
John Bonham. I saw Led Zeppelin billed as the New Yardbirds at Sheffield Uni students union in late '68. Several months before LZI was released. From memory I think it was only the 11th gig they had played thus far.
No seats. We just stood there staring and from my front row position I was maybe 2 or 3 feet from Jimmy Page, resplendent in a pink crushed velvet suit.
It was Bonham's habit to play at least part of his drum solo with his hands, bongo style. As he was doing this the stage, which was made up of wooden blocks about a yard square and maybe two feet high, began to drift apart and his hi-hat and one of his floor toms began listing violently to starboard (or was it port?) Bonham was heard to exclaim "my life!" as a roadie jumped up to rescue the kit and push the blocks back together again.
Black Type says
Mick Fleetwood had his moment in the spotlight on last year's Mac tour. It was pure self-indulgence and as tedious as most solos are, but as the rest of the show was so good, I think he got away with it by sheer audience goodwill.
Junior Wells says
I saw the recent tour -not so sure he got away with it. Preferred him doing those Ghanaian rhythms ( now that is 2 tough words in a row to spell)
retropath2 says
Bruce Mitchell from Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias did a nice line in a Keith Moonee destructivist style soloing, with the kit gradually cast asunder.
As to solos, yawn is my usual response, or a grateful empty (or prospective fill) of my bladder. But Dil Davies, current Oysterband tubthumper really surprised me by his dynamics. Again no youtube.
Clive says
Re the Oysterband drummer I remember seeing him at a pub gig leave the stage at the end of the set and then play a little solo on the bar optics as he walked past behind the bar. I was rather impressed.
fitterstoke says
Brian Downey from Thin Lizzy – saw them at the Glasgow Apollo on the Johnny the Fox tour – Downey did a drum solo which lasted no more than two minutes….still the best drum solo I ever witnessed….in, get the job done, out…..
Skirky says
A mate of mine has seen Tommy Aldridge dep with so many bands that he can time his trip to the toilets, bar and/or merch stand almost perfectly. You can set your watch by that man's drum solo, tedious as it is. On the other hand, a drummer friend argues that Neil Peart's should be considered as percussion compositions rather than a bloke arseing about with a roomful of roto-toms for ten minutes, as many of us might perceive them.
Vulpes Vulpes says
Can't recall his name, but the chap with Golden Earring performed a great solo with an overhead stick-catch finish that engrossed me on their Radar Love tour back in the day.
Spotcheck Billy says
Cesar Zuiderwijk – rolls off the tongue….
Yes, I saw them on that tour, front row tickets at the Rainbow. The drum solo was great and at the end of Radar Love he star-jumped over the kit.
fatima Xberg says
fortuneight says
Solos are for pussies – the whole song should be played as a solo
Clive says
Neil Peart and BJ Wilson both have some fine solo work on youtube.
Ahh_Bisto says
I quite like short drum solos. I like the ones Phil Collins performed with Chester Thompson when Genesis played live. The "duelling drummers" approach gave it a bit of an edge and they ever went on for too long.
That said, I still always prefer drum fills within songs and interesting drum patterns that support the song. So, I'll take Steve Gadd's opening bars of 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover every time over Ginger Baker's percussive incontinence.
thecheshirecat says
This is exactly my take on the matter. I've been a prog rock fan from birth, but drum solos never impressed me. The drums, or any instrument for that matter, are there to serve the bigger picture and are not the be-all-and-end-all. Credit where credit's due, Collins understood that, as did Bruford by and large.
In later years I got drawn into the roots music of these and other shores. I remember in the 90s standing in audiences with the hipsters of Liverpool, grooving to the African music which that city attracts so well. Previous disdain for drum solos suddenly evaporated in a riot of enthusiasm, which I couldn't share. But what really gets my goat is frigging bodhran solos; I stand at festivals hoping that someone important somewhere has noticed me pointedly not applauding.
Feedback_File says
I cant really be bothered by drum solos but there is one that I really love – Ginger Baker on Do What You Like by Blind Faith. Its a throwaway song – bit of riff and Stevie singing a few trite lyrics but lovely guitar and organ solos – then totally ruined by a truly dreadful 5 minute bass solo from Rick Gretch . But Ginger saves the day – a very musical drum solo that builds. At the end all 6 of his limbs (there must be at least 6 ?) are playing different rhythms and its just fab.
Declan says
Your man in Focus, van der Linden, does a snappy minute-and-a-half on this. As much solo as anyone needs. Between 18.20 and 20.00.
Gary says
I could watch this forever:
Vincent says
Hate 'em. If it's a brief one as per Brian Downey above, I can tolerate it. I've seen all the greats do them ad tedium, but, as the old gag goes, it gets even worse when they stop, as then the bass solo starts.
Archie Valparaiso says
Here's yet another reason to love Ry Cooder. He announces the bass solo first, so Jim Keltner's skin-bash – a delightful mere 60 seconds that's more an intricate groove than a full-blown solo – comes as a welcome relief:
(From 1:12:00, if the cue-up doesn't work)
Junior Wells says
cue the old joke, what do you do when you hear a drum solo, run coz the bass solo is next.
Jackthebiscuit says
I saw Rush 5/6 years ago & really enjoyed them. Neil Peart did a looong solo, then did a 180 degree turn on his drum stool & continued whacking away.
Must admit, I was a bit bored of it by the end, (get me, an unemployed former member of the
Royal Navy dissing the mighty Rush).
Mmm. Total blind spot for me, I am afraid. I am reminded of Rob C's ( in Owlsley guise) immortal description of something sounding like "two skeletons furiously wanking in a biscuit tin".
Uncle Wheaty says
Up arrow.
My thoughts exactly.

Someone is FIVE Now!!!
It's unbelievable....it just happened, she went and turned five on me!!
I freaked out a little bit, she is growing up so fast! She's gone right through a size 5, and size 11 shoe! Geez!
Delaney came home in Aug 06 at 18 months, I can't even imagine life before she came home, I never knew being a Mom was trully so wonderful.
I am blessed with a healthy, smart, witty, active, attached and beautiful little girl who randomly throws "I love yous" at me, is affectinate, kind and caring...oh, yes, and FIVE!!! She waffles between having good days and bad, but so do I! he he! Mostly she is a complete joy who never ceases to amaze me.
Here are some pics from her week-long celebration! We had a family/adult friends party at the house last weekend, which had a Hello Kitty theme, even though there were more boy cousins there! Mommy got her the two-wheeled scooter she'd been DYING to have, and she has thanked me every day since, saying, "It's perfect, Mommy! "I can't believe I have a two-wheeled scooter now!" Then on her actually b-day, she went to Chevys with my mom and a friend and loved that they sang Happy Birthday to her there and she got a hat! This past Saturday she got to have a party with her little friends at Build a Bear and it was great! First of all, 10 kids, and they were all SOOO good, it was like a Steppford movie! Second, it was totally fun! Delaney kept saying it was her best birthday ever! he he! I made little headbands for each kid with the Build a Bears on them and their names in glitter glue.
We went down to Red Robin afterwards and the kids got ice creams sundaes, cupcakes with Bears on them and juice and we opened gifts.
She is so excited to start "pindergarten" in the fall, Mommy is not! I want my baby back! But I am so proud of the person she becoming, and so thankful for getting to be her Mommy!

Memorable music as well as a good performance by Peter Weller, very well-directed action sequences by Paul Verhoeven. It falls out of place at some parts and the plot has more holes than there are gunshots holes in the movie, but on the surface it's good 1980's action fluff.
