X-Game (2012) (DVD Review)
X-Game (2012) (DVD Review)
Director: Yôhei Fukuda
Where to get it: Danger After Dark
Hideaki is kidnapped and when he awakens the next day, finds himself in a recreation of his old schoolroom, along with his recently reunited classmates. Trapped and held captive by mysterious hooded figures, each of them must now play a brutally violent, version of the punishment game…or face death. A twisty, horror/mystery 'mash-up' peppered with dark humor and inventive gore, director Yôhei Fukuda's ('Chanbara Beauty') shows how revenge is a dish best served cold and not very sweet – Japanese style
Well here we have more Japanese gore with a twist! That alone would pretty much sum up X-Games here. And it is what you'd expect. We have some interesting characters that get caught in situation with a whole lot of mystery surrounding it. Why these kids? And who is the one doing it? That is the jest of it, but we got some cool concepts and gore going down until we get to that part. In some ways I guess you could say it's a throwback to the mid-2000s torture porn theme that was running wild and to the film's credit it does do its thing in creative and somewhat fresh ways.
I do however have to admit that I think the film could have been cut a little in the running time area. We clock this bad boy in and right around two hours and that means we do have some dragging going down along the way. That would probably be the main flaw that the film packs. But as far as everything else goes, if you love Japanese gore movies you'll have some use for this one. If you aren't as into the torture gore aspect of things, then you might not like it as much.

Remembering My Mom
I will not be writing a race report. Usually I give a recap of each mile with a mixture of humor (or at the very least attempted humor) and poignancy. I don't have it in me. I suspect my feelings about my mom will be there in my writing for a while, consciously at the beginning and subconsciously afterwards.
I don't know if she was "with me" while I ran. There are different views in Judaism about what the dead are aware of. I don't know what to believe. Either way, she was on my mind for much of the race. When I struggled during the last six miles, I thought of her fighting spirit, and kept moving my feet.
Whenever I would call her after running a race, she would tell how proud she was. She didn't really get the whole racing thing and would have been proud if I would have run a 5k in five hours. Still, she got the mom thing and was encouraging in all that I did.
I miss her.

Hi. I'm a lurker on the loop (RW), and read your post, and felt the need to send you my condolences. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, and I hope your journey through the grieving process eventually brings you peace.ReplyDelete
I lost my father on March 3, a little over two months ago. I had started training for a half-marathon shortly before finding out that his prognosis was 6 months (we found out on Jan. 13--he'd been battling cancer for a year), but he passed away not even two months after the prognosis. I wanted my father to see me run the half--I knew he would be so proud, but he passed away before it happened. After he died, like you, I debated about finishing the training and completing the half. But on April 11, I did it, and I am so proud that I did. I had struggled spiritually a great deal after my father died, but it's almost like things changed (for the better) on April 11 when I crossed that finish line, and I feel that all of those questions and doubts I had regarding my own faith and spirituality were answered or put at ease.
I don't know if I "felt" my father that day, although I wish I could say that more than anything.
I'm a teacher, and once school lets out, I plan on writing about my father's passing along with the half marathon completion. The blog site is whereverifit.blogspot.com.
Peace and love,
Jennifer, a RW lurker
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother has been in my thoughts since your post a couple of weeks ago. I like how you said "she got the mom thing and was encouraging in all that I did." That says it all.ReplyDelete
My thoughts go out to you and your family. I lost my mom 20 years ago due to cancer she was only 50 years old at the time.ReplyDelete

Maya has been sick-ish for the last month or so, and has been going back and forth with me about whether she thinks she should go to the doctor to see if something's wrong.
I haven't pushed her in either direction because she's proven to be responsible enough to make that call on her own.
Or, so I thought.
Tonight, she confessed that she doesn't want to go to the doctor because she's nervous he's going to tell her she has pneumonia (which has been going around).
I had to remind her that just because she doesn't go to the doctor…in which case he doesn't tell her she has pneumonia…that doesn't mean she doesn't have pneumonia.
Whether she goes to the doctor or not, she has what she has. Just because someone doesn't tell her she's sick does that mean she's healthy.
In most cases, what is does mean is that you're just prolonging your recovery, if not making the whole thing worse by avoiding and ignoring it.
The very same thing happened when I was talking to a friend, Brian, at the gym a week ago.
Brian's shoulder's been bugging him, but he's putting off going to the orthopedist to have it checked because he's probably going to tell him that he's torn his rotator cuff or labrum.
Again, I had to remind Brian that just because he doesn't go to the doctor and/or get an MRI doesn't mean that his shoulder's ok and that he can just keep crankin' away on it.
And, again, him putting that visit off is likely just (a) allowing the injury to get worse, and (b) making the "recovery" time even longer than it needs to be.
This kind of fear, the kind that keeps you from taking that one big step towards finding something so simple as the truth, can either immobilize you…or, empower you.
And, it's entirely up to you: do you want to be stuck in the dark wondering all of the time, or would you rather know what's going on so you can make some real decisions and move forward in some direction?
I think it seems appealing sometimes to just not know so you don't have to "deal with it". But, I also think that dealing with it is sometimes more physically and emotionally exhausting than not dealing with it.
So, pull up your big girl panties, hunt down the truth, and deal with it.

Do Microsoft's Vista Hardware Guidelines Meet the Mark?By Channel Insider Staff | Print
The first full-fledged beta of the next version of Windows is performing so-so on existing PC hardware.While the final hardware requirements for Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system won't be made public until next summer, testers say the first beta release of the operating system is performing moderately well on existing PC hardware.
Microsoft released to testers
Microsoft did offer some general guidelines, saying that Vista beta 1 should run on "a majority of modern computers that can run Windows XP, carry the 'Designed for Windows XP' logo, have a mainstream processor from Intel or AMD, and have 512 MB of RAM," a Microsoft spokeswoman reiterated this week.
"Beta 1 seems to be working well enough, although I'm extremely disappointed in both Microsoft and NVIDIA for not delivering drivers that would enable me to experience [Vista's Aero] Glass [user interface] in its full glory," said Chris Pirillo, founder of Lockergnome.com and a frequent Microsoft beta tester. "Either 64MB ain't enough video RAM, or NVIDIA is incapable of supporting this card with this beta [and possibly future releases]. Frustrating."
Pirillo said he is testing Beta 1 on a Toshiba Satellite 5105-S701 that originally shipped with XP Home Edition. The system sports an Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 60GB hard drive. It also has a 15-inch display and an Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go graphics card with 64MB of video memory.
So far, Vista "doesn't seem to be any faster than XP," Pirillo said. "Maybe a little slower."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they are right. You'll believe lies so that you will eventually trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things will fall apart so better things can fall together."
Things go wrong.

The two leading opposition candidates vying to succeed President Carlos Saul Menem are pledging to begin wide-ranging corruption investigations into the current Government if they win the presidency.
So far, the contest between Gov. Fernando de la Rua of Buenos Aires Province and Congresswoman Graciela Fernandez Meijilde for the nomination of the opposition coalition, Alianza, has attracted little voter interest since both have essentially endorsed the free-market policies of President Menem.
But Governor de la Rua, who leads in opinion polls, has begun to put some excitement in the campaign for the Nov. 29 primary by suggesting that a thorough accounting of the current Government will take place when he takes office in 2000. ''There will be no tolerance, coverup or complicity,'' he said recently. ''There is a presumption of corruption.''
Mr. de la Rua has promised to push federal judges and prosecutors to investigate which officials may have received up to $21 million in bribes from a local I.B.M. franchise in exchange for a Government bank contract three years ago. (The local I.B.M. management has been replaced, and I.B.M. officials in the United States say they had no knowledge of any bribery.)
The Governor has also expressed the need to find out who in the Government was involved in the smuggling of Argentine arms to Ecuador and Croatia, falsifying documents while breaking a United Nations embargo, in the early 1990's.Continue reading the main story
In response, President Menem has called for an investigation into bribe-taking in Governor de la Rua's provincial government and international arms sales made during the Radical Party Government of President Raul Alfonsin in the 1980's. Mr. Menem, President since 1990, has denied any involvement by himself or any of his aides in either the arms smuggling or the I.B.M. bribery scandal.
Ms. Fernandez Meijilde, who represents Buenos Aires Province in Congress, has also pledged to order investigations of corruption in the Menem Government. ''If I don't go after past corruption,'' she said in an interview, ''I'd be sending out exactly the wrong signal, that official corruption is fine and that it will be tolerated by future Governments.''
Mr. Menem dropped out of the race for a third term under pressure from his party four months ago. But he stirred interest in the corruption issue two weeks ago when he demanded that his Justice Department investigate Carlos Stornelli, the federal prosecutor who is trying to uncover who ordered and profited from the sales of arms to Ecuador and Croatia between 1991 and 1995.
The Government's senior prosecutor declined to follow the order, and his decision was widely applauded by members of Congress, including members of Mr. Menem's party. And in another sign that Mr. Menem is beginning to lose influence as a lame duck, a federal judge investigating illegal arms trafficking has said he will ask several Cabinet members to testify about activities that forced the resignation of Oscar Camilion as Defense Minister three years ago.
Governor de la Rua leads the centrist Radical Party while Ms. Fernandez Meijilde leads the Frepaso Party, a center-left group that broke away from Mr. Menem's Justicialist Party. The two parties entered into a pact last year.
The winner of the Alianza primary is likely to run a close race with Eduardo Duhalde, the Mayor of Buenos Aires and the leading candidate in the Justicialist Party.
An article on Wednesday about the presidential race in Argentina reversed the posts held by two candidates. Fernando de la Rua is the Mayor of Buenos Aires, and Eduardo Duhalde is the Governor of Buenos Aires province. The last name of a third candidate was misspelled. She is Graciela Fernandez Meijide, not Meijilde.

It's been frustrating watching large banks get bailout funds without paying it ahead by making small enterprise loans. Technology (SBIR/STTR) administers the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Through these two competitive packages, the SBA ensures that the nation's small, high-tech, revolutionary companies are a big a part of the federal authorities's analysis and growth efforts. These monetary grants usually help state and local governments, non-revenue organizations and middleman lending institutions. It also constantly assesses the influence and regulatory burden of recent legislation on small companies and the enterprise setting.
The SBA was established by President Eisenhower via the signing of the Small Business Act in the summertime of 1953. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is an impartial federal company that helps small companies within the United States. When you apply for a SBA loan, you should collect all the knowledge associated to the enterprise project for which you will begin.
Size Standards offers with the basic question of what the numerical definition needs to be to outline small companies, industry by business, to determine what companies are eligible for SBA programs. Government Contracting/BD helps improve the effectiveness of small enterprise applications by working with Government Contracting and Business Development (GC/BD) program offices and others to develop insurance policies, regulations, and statutory adjustments.
With business booming like never earlier than, there has by no means been a better time for investing in a small business in California. Small business is the undisputed engine of job progress and these programs get them the funds they need to operate and expand their enterprise. In an effort to achieve more companies, the SBA provides loans and grants to non-public, nonprofit organizations that, in flip, make small loans and supply technical help to small companies. The administration might finance small companies that manufacture, sell, set up, service, or develop specific power measures. PLP designation streamlines the underwriting and shutting of SBA-guaranteed loans.
SCORE, beforehand often known as the Service Corps of Retired Executives, is a nonprofit neighborhood of more than 10,000 business advisors and mentors across the U.S. Their time and expertise can be found free to small enterprise homeowners. Additionally, $730 million from the stimulus plan is getting used to scale back the charges associated with securing a Small Business Administration Loans and to ensure a better proportion of some SBA loans. This program is designed to help women avoid the frequent mistakes of new enterprise house owners.

Spring time is here and if you have pollen allergies, some food may cross react with the pollen and trigger the oral allergy syndrome (OAS). The basic rule is to avoid eating those foods that make you unwell. But if its your favorite food or for some reason you cannot avoid eating them, Dr Renee has some tips for you:
- Cook it: Cooking often breaks down or alters the trigger proteins so that the immune system doesn't target them.
- Peel it: Peeling fruits such as apples may help, because most trigger proteins are in the peel.
- Can it: Canning also breaks down trigger protein

I remember walking into our troop tent and seeing McClusky laying on his poncho and poncho liner on the ground. He was drunk and had this smile on his face. He reached over and picked up the hand set of a radio, keyed the hand set and said We need a s@#ter, Have Brig. Gen. Carney come down here did us one. I guess they were monitoring all the radio frequencies in the comm shack and Brig. Gen. Carney was there and heard him say it. McClusky spent the few days digging a 6' by 6' by 6' hole with an e-tool.
I wonder if they were monitoring the transmissions while we were moving up the trail in the Ah Shaw and skirmishing with the NVA?
And during the firefight on 1175?
And I wonder if they kept audio records?
And I wonder if the public can access those records?
I wonder who I could ask?
Does anyone know?

During the acquisition and development of software-reliant systems, the normal focus is on meeting functional requirements; security is often deferred to later lifecycle activities. In fact, security features are usually addressed during system operation and sustainment, not engineered into systems. As a result, many software-reliant systems are deployed with significant residual security risk, putting operations in jeopardy.
The Security Engineering Risk Analysis (SERA) method is an approach for identifying and analyzing the impact of design weaknesses early in the lifecycle. Early detection and remediation of design weaknesses helps to reduce residual security risk when a system is deployed. Using SERA, acquisition and development organizations can move beyond compliance to consider cybersecurity risks from a mission/operational perspective and identify a more complete set of security requirements.

Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. (HMM) South Korea said that it will buy 20-percent stake of the company that runs the biggest container terminal at Long Beach Total Terminals International terminal (TTI), Calif., the U.S.
HMM will now become the No. 2 stakeholder in TTI after Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC). TTI operates terminals at Seattle and Long Beach.
HMM will receive the same port tariff rates with MSC, and it will help reduce terminal handling costs and secure stable profitability.
Also, MSC will stand surety for TTI's loans and lease which means HMM is not responsible for TTI's debts.
The principal benefits from acquisition of TTI stake are as below:
1. Expand US West Coast BSA (Basic Slot allocation)
2. Buy stake at low investment costs
3. Receive same port tariff rates with MSC
4. Improve sales competitiveness in Asia-US market.
HMM said "TTI's handling volumes will dramatically increase, as we strengthen Asia-US services through strategic cooperation with 2M beginning of April.
On Wednesday, a U.S. court allowed Hanjin Shipping to sell its stake in TTI. Before Hanjin's bankruptcy in August, TTI was the largest-volume terminal at the Port of Long Beach. But since then the port's volume has dwindled and TTI's container-handling activity has slowed significantly.

When I was a "green" mom (an inexperienced and naive mother of my first), I would tell my son not to go into the wet grass, the puddles, the... well, the anything that would soak his shoes for fear of having to deal with the smelly, dirty, wet mess and the lack of footwear for 24 hours thereafter.
And as much as they claim to be, winter boots can NOT ever be exactly 100% snow proof when the snow can still enter uninvited from the top of the boot! I mean, who can have more than 3+ pairs of shoes and 2+ pairs of boots on hand ALL THE TIME just in case a child's foot encounters a puddle just as you shout, "Don't step in that... UGH!" on the way out of daycare"?
So, what is a mother to do when it comes to walking that fine line between managing cost-effective amounts of footwear and also wanting kids to enjoy being kids (that includes puddle jumping)?
As soon as I stumbled across the DryGuy DX Forced Air Boot Dryer, I knew it was a match made in parenting heaven. Yes, I understand that smelly, wet boy shoes that should probably be well-ventilated if they are to be combined with forced air and heat, but on weekends when a specific pair of footwear is called upon more than once in a day (i.e. winter boots or the one pair of shoes my picky-pants toddler insists on wearing), this dryer saved my bum.
Now, I've had mine since November of 2015, and it still works. The knob is a little wonky, but it has sufficient space for 2 pairs of soggy shoes/boots or 2 pairs of don't-touch-that-melting-snow-mush-puddle mittens.
I know it's a bit of an investment, but if your kids like to be outside as much as mine do, it's an absolute sanity saver... just put in a well-ventilated area if you plan to use the heat setting!

Charcoal Poultice and Charcoal Drink as Treatment to Leg Ulcers
Independent- charcoal poultice and drink
Dependent- leg ulcer healing
The use of charcoal as a simple remedy for different health problems is an ancient way of treating many common diseases that afflict humankind dates back in the time of Hippocrates who lived from 460 to 370 B.C. In the late 1800, Ellen G, White spearheaded the use of charcoal in the treatment of different diseases. She said, "The Lord has given some simple herbs of the field that at times are beneficial; and if every family were educated in how to use these herbs in case of sickness, much suffering might be prevented, and no doctor can be called. One of the most beneficial remedies is pulverized charcoal placed in a bag and used in fomentations. This is a most successful remedy…I have prescribed this simple remedy, with perfect success…This works like a charm."
The use of charcoal in treating diseases is a product of long years of scientific studies. Charcoal is defined as an amorphous, porous form of carbon made by the destructive distillation of almost any carbonaceous material such as wood, coconut shells animal bones, and corn cobs. The medicinal properties of charcoal are given strong boost by the United States (a book that tells how to prepare and use medicines). Besides giving direction for making charcoal, the Dispensatory lists several problems that can be treated with charcoal. Activated charcoal exerts its effects by absorbing a wide variety of drugs and chemicals. The important work of charcoal powder in the treatment of diseases is to adsorb chemical substances that are harmful to the body, like germs, viruses, toxins, wound secretions, and other products of infections. To adsorb means to take up, hold on, or spread out on the surface of the molecules. Charcoal works like a magnet.
Charcoal poultice is made up of charcoal powder mixed with enough water to make into a paste. It is spread into a thin dry cloth with all the sides folded over the charcoal paste and then applied over the affected area of the skin or over the body organ. From thirty minutes to two hours after the application of the charcoal poultice, there is a feeling of itching around the area or a little pricking pain. That is because charcoal sucks what it can absorb from within. The advice is to never remove the poultice. Keep it on because your body is responding positively to the treatment. Pain may be felt from three to seven days.
The internal use of charcoal powder is called charcoal drink. Charcoal drink is made of charcoal powder diluted in a glass of drinking water according to dosage for medical purposes. The charcoal drink is tasteless. The taste of the drinking water when mixed with charcoal powder doesn't change. There is no difference in taste between a glass of clear drinking water and a glass of water with charcoal powder. The only difference is the color.
Treatment is a therapy used to remedy a health problem. It is a process or intervention in the design of experiments a method of combating, ameliorating, or preventing a disease, disorder, or injury. Active or curative treatment is designed to cure; palliative treatment is directed to relieve pain and distress; prophylactic treatment is for the prevention of a disease or disorder; causal treatment focuses on the cause of a disorder; conservative treatment avoids radical measures and procedures; empiric treatment uses methods shown to be beneficial by experience; rational treatment is based on a knowledge of a disease process and the action of the measures used. Treatment may be pharmacologic, using drugs; surgical, involving operative procedures; or supportive, building the patient's strength. It may be specific for the disorder, or symptomatic to relieve symptoms without affecting a cure.

At Vintage Capital Advisors we believe in using every possible investment strategy to make our clients money and to hedge their risk. Periodically, and where appropriate, we will use foreign Currency and/or investments Futures contracts, as part of either a trading strategy or as a longer-term holding, to hedge against downturns in the market which may affect other investments in your portfolio.
For example, let's suppose your investment portfolio tracks to the S&P 500 Index, and the long term outlook of the market is good, and you want to be fully invested, however the near-term prospects or dismal.
Rather than sell your existing portfolio, which may have long-term imbedded capital gain issues, you could simply take a short-term counter position to your existing portfolio by selling an S&P 500 future.
You will lose money on your portfolio as the market goes down, but you will make money on your short futures contract as the market goes down. This will allow you to offset your losses and stay fully invested until the market recovers and we are ready to move forward.
The same strategy can take place in the currency markets to offset either interest rate changes or portfolio fluctuations as a result of a volatile dollar.

I do like Skipton's Art in the Pen. For a start, it's a great idea – holding an exhibition in a livestock auction mart. A space normally bustling with farmers and animals becomes space to eye up the work of local artists.
The variety of art is one of its great features. One of the great fears I have when visiting local art shows is having to look at yet more chocolate box pictures of bridges, gates and rose clad cottages. This is not the case at Art in the Pen. There were about sixty artists work on show, all quite individual.
Some of the work in wood was impressive, none more so than David Gross's huge and arresting wood sculptures (above).
A particular favorite was Mark Laycock's wood pieces. People have commented on his Gaudi like style, but what impressed me most was his passion for the wood itself and the ideas he has. He told me that he's be happy simply put a piece of wood on the wall and look at it. His deep respect for the material and his knowledge of why it looks as it does is wonderful.
Another eye catching display was by Duncan Pearson from Huddersfield. His colourful and humorous paintings had a dark twist to them. He explained that he'd spent a hard time in a rough area of Manchester. One picture featured a man with a ridiculous mustache – the manchester mustache – who he explained was a horrible character in a horrible pub. His work is raw and personal.
Tim Fowler from Leicester featured some very confident and beautiful urban scenes many of which were of West London. Evidence that there's a good range of influences at Art in the Pen, not confined to gates, bridges and cottages. You'd need to come to Ilkley for that!

It's not every day you get to meet The Slede Dogs. No I'm not talking about the group of dogs used to pull sleighs. I'm referring to the Canadian band the sleddogs from Kelowna, British Columbia. My son and I recently saw them perform their rocking version of "Frosty the Snowman" as well as some other great songs at a benefit concert in support of the Quinte Children's Foundation. My son got to shake hands with Eric Funk drummer of Sleddogs.
The holiday special included performances from first Canadian Idol Ryan Malcolm of Low Level Flight, Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Johnny Bower and Roz Bell as well. Johnny Bower sang his 1965 hit song "Honky the Christmas Goose."
You might know Roz Bell from his first single, "Yesterday Man", which he performed as well as his recent single Papercut. Roz Bell has a really unique voice.
All in all it was a great night out.
Pick up a copy of Urgency by Low Level Flight , Take Me Away by Sleddogs and Sunbeams by Roz Bell today.

The topic I am choosing is sneakers. I am choosing this topic because I love to look at and buy the new sneakers that come out every month. Every month new designs and models come out so people don't have to wear the same sneakers on their feet everyday. It just excites me when I see a new pair of sneakers I like because I ant wait to go buy them. So writing about this topic will just show how much I really care for sneakers.

When I Get Older…Thursday, September 26th, 2013
When I graduate from college I would like to be involved in an occupation that involves technology. I chose to pick this type of job because it was always in my interest to look at the new phones, computers, and inventions coming out. These jobs are mostly high paying and can also have good benefits included. It would be a dream if I actually get to work in a well known technology company one day.
Watching Movies In SchoolWednesday, September 25th, 2013
The other day in class my teacher brought up a point about watching movies in the classroom. He thought that it was a good idea, but said that other teachers think it is pointless. I think that it is a good idea because it gives you more point of views about the topic you are learning. For example, if you are reading a book in class, but you don't understand it the teacher can put in the movie so the student can get a better understanding about the topic. Also it brings a little joy in a students learning experience. Overall, watching movies in the classroom actually benefits students.
GTA VTuesday, September 24th, 2013
On the Forbes website I read an article about Grand Theft Auto 5 and how it made 1billion dollars in three days. In the article it explains the shares the owner has, the layout of the game, and how it was spectacular that i sold so well. There were many offers to buy the rights of the video game like EA, but the owner declined and he made a good decision. In my opinion, I think that it was amazing that a video game produced a profit of 1 billion dollars. I would ask the author how he feels about the 1 billion dollars.
Black Widow Spider FanMonday, September 23rd, 2013
This article is about a nature writer who got bit by a black widow, but had a pet one in a jar. One day before he went fishing he got bit by a black widow spider inside of his shoe. even though he knew he was bit he still went fishing, but eventually her started feeling pain in his stomach and his arm. He finally went to the hospital and coincidentally they had an experimental spider venom. In my opinion, I think that the man is crazy because he knew he got bit, bu he still didn't go to the hospital. The question I have for the author is why didn't he go to the hospital earlier.
20% TimeMonday, September 23rd, 2013
The topic I chose for 20% time was sneakers. I chose sneakers because thousands of sneakers come out every month all around the world. Different brands of shoes try to release sneakers every month that they think people will like. The two highest praised brands are Jordan and Nike. People love Jordan sneakers so much that they wait in line for hours or even days.Those people call themselves sneaker heads. In my opinion I think that the waiting is worth it because they are only released for that one time and won't be available until years later or on eBay for triple the price.

AdvertisingThursday, September 19th, 2013
When I get out of college i would like to be in he advertising field. Advertising is communication for marketing and is used to persuade an audience. All my life I looked at billboards, commercials, and magazine ads and found them interesting. I like to be creative and think of new ideas so people and look at them and be amazed by the sight. Advertising is a occupation that I think that I would excel in.
My best vacation…Wednesday, September 18th, 2013
The best vacation I have ever been on was a week-long trip to the Bahamas. There was a sting ray the size of a minivan, the hotel had three swimming pools, and we rode banshees down a private beach. Also there was a teen club that kids could go to at night to enjoy their selves in. At one point when we were para-sailing the boat ran out of glass and we were stuck in the middle of the ocean for 20min. Overall my family and I enjoyed it because we made a lot of memories during that vacation.
TechnologyTuesday, September 17th, 2013
In a video I watched on the Wall Street Journal website it talked about how you can trade your old Iphone for money or credit to buy the new Iphone 5s or 5c. There are multiple websites you can go on to trade in your phone like amazon, apple, gazelle, and networth. The highest price they will give you is 210 for an Iphone 4s or 300 for an Iphone 5. In my opinion think that this is a good deal because you don't have to spend any money to get the newest Iphone. The source is very credible as well. The question I have is why would they give you so much money for an old phone?

Professional Mobility Through Apprenticeship Programs
Career Path : Apprenticeships
Professional mobility gives you the freedom to practice your trade in any city across the country. Find out more about dozens of apprentice programs designed so that your certification is recognized across the country.
A common obstacle that trade workers face is having a certification that is only valid in a given number of provinces and territories across the country. Ultimately, a limited certification prevents workers from having a level of liberty that comes with career mobility.
Luckily, The Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program (RSP) was created over 50 years ago to provide skilled workers a higher level of professional freedom within their trade. In short, those who write and pass the RSP examination are given a special endorsement on their certificate or diploma, thereby allowing them to practice their trade across all Canadian provinces and territories.
In order to write the RSP examination, one must first complete an apprenticeship in a designated trade. To be accepted into the apprenticeship program at a participating college, applicants need to have an employer agree to take them on as an apprentice. Students will complete academic courses while simultaneously working as an apprentice.
The obvious benefit of enrolling in an apprenticeship program is being able to earn a degree while also gaining hands-on experience with a licenced employer. Here are just a few examples of apprenticeship programs, with a peek on what a student would be learning in school, and the potential job positions they would be fill as an apprentice:
Sheet metal worker apprenticeship
Study topics:
- Procedures of designing, building, installing air handling systems
- Manufacturing and gauging of metals, duct construction materials
Apprentice positions:
- Sheet Metal Workers
- Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanics
- Metal Forming, Shaping and Erecting Occupations
Steamfitter apprenticeship
Study topics:
- Plan reading, specifications and building codes in mainly the industrial-commercial-institutional (ICI) sector
- Specifications of hot water boiler systems, process piping, gas, refrigeration and air conditioning piping systems
- The importance of workplace safety, building codes and regulations
Apprentice positions:

If you live in a large enough city, you eventually will run into this sort of placard (unfortunately attached to a loony person). Right there, between "DRUNKARD'S" and "CATHOLIC'S"… I think the misspelled word is meant to be Baha'i. Misspelling is of course, the least of this person's problems.
I had no idea I ♥ the devil. Including Baha'i, little ol' me fits into six of the categories. Can you beat that? Do you ♥ the devil more?
Boy, that's a lot of hate. About the only thing this person seems to love is Jesus... and' apostrophes'.
Bonus points if you can tell us what P.K. stands for in Jeebus-speak.
Oh and before I forget… McCain '08!!

|[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-3772) MultipleOutputs output lost if baseOutputPath starts with ../
|Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:14:59 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3772?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13504255#comment-13504255 ] Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-3772: ----------------------------------------------- Priyo, MultipleOutputs has been designed assuming that named outputs are written in the output-dir of the job. This enables speculative execution to work. While a task is writing its output, this is done in a task's temporary directory within the output directory, when the task is completed, the files from the tasks's temporary directory are promoted to the output-dir. This includes all named outputs. Even if speculative execution is ON, there is no conflict/overriding because the 2 competing speculative tasks are using 2 different temporary directories and only one will be promoted. The assumption for this to works is that named outputs are NAMEs, not paths. Then, they end up next to the default 'part-####' output files. Please verify this is the case, and if so, please close this JIRA as invalid. > MultipleOutputs output lost if baseOutputPath starts with ../ > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3772 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3772 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv1 > Affects Versions: 0.20.203.0, 0.22.0 > Environment: FreeBSD > Reporter: Radim Kolar > > Lets say you have output directory set: > FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, "/tmp/multi1/out"); > and want to place output from MultipleOutputs into /tmp/multi1/extra > I expect following code to work: > mos = new MultipleOutputs<Text, IntWritable>(context); > mos.write(new Text("zrr"), value, "../extra/"); > but no Exception is throw and expected output directory /tmp/multi1/extra does not even exists.

Ok so excuse the poor picture quality but I apparently have a trend going as of late…which just also happens to be the HOT color of the Fall! I know what you are thinking…you mostly see maroon here. Well, in my house I don't own anything maroon, it is all crimson (Roll Tide). During football season maroon is like orange to me…it's just not in my color wheel!;) I tend to classify my "maroon" items under the term oxblood:) (Which is yet again big this Fall). And with the "cooler" Alabama weather I have fully decided to let my summer wardrobe go and have embraced Fall. My booties are coming out along with those long sleeve tees that have been in hiding. Bring on Fall and Football! It's game week y'all! XOXO
Love Fashionably,

Blog round-up: Extraordinary children
We're proud to be able to share the writing of so many parents on the Mumsnet Bloggers Network. They're raising some pretty great children - whether the kids are grappling with an illness or just being a *too* smart for their own good. Here are a few of our favourite posts paying tribute to these extraordinary tots.
If you've written a similar post, do share it on the linky below.
First up is One in a Million Baby, with a heartbreaking post reflecting on her amazing daughter, one year after her death:
"When I had previously pictured that life Eva and I would have, I couldn't imagine how my love would trump obstacles. I couldn't see that she would be neither a burden or a struggle, but that she would be my greatest source of joy."
Someone's Mum shares the overwhelming moment she saw her son - who has autism - put his own shoes on for the first time:
"It is a symbol for how you keep trying. It is a symbol for every struggle you face, every difficult thing you learn to do. It is a sign of hope, a testament to your character. It shows that you can, and will, climb those mountains, however long it takes, however many times you fail."
On a similar note, Little Mama Murphy pens a beautiful post on accepting that her son will not walk. She reminds herself that although some children don't defy the odds "it's not because they didn't try hard enough. Or their heart wasn't in it. Or their parents didn't love them enough. Or their mum didn't believe in them. Or they didn't have that fighting spirit. It's just... Because.
Because that's the way it is."
Ellemental Mama takes a slightly different approach when it comes to our extraordinary children. She's come up with a whole host of reasons her child is a secret genius, some of which may be familiar. "He has great repetition skills. Especially when I 'accidentally' swear."
Last up is Beanmusing, who, after not being able to have children after her first daughter, expresses how she never feels bereft to have 'just' one child. Perhaps it's time to stop interrogating women about their parenting choices?
"Bean is by no means 'just'; she is one, a complete, a whole."
Getting a little gushy at the thought of your little ones? Keep spreading the joy and add your post to our linky below.

About a week ago, The Ear asked how the terrible flu that is going around has affected the classical music scene for both players and audiences.
Since then, the flu has only gotten worse and it still shows no sign of peaking. More deaths of children and the elderly have been reported.
And now hospitals and emergency rooms are reaching capacity or exceeding it. They are getting understaffed as doctors, nurses and others also come down with the flu and can't work.
But it got The Ear to thinking:
When you get sick, do you listen to music?
Does it make you feel any better?
Or distract you?
What kind of music — if any – do you prefer to listen when you are sick: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern or Contemporary?
And why do you like it?
Are there specific composers or pieces you turn to when you are sick?
The Ear often listens to Baroque music for the reason he listens to it in the morning: It is upbeat and generally seems to impart energy without taxing your attention span too much.
In fact, he particularly partial to violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and the keyboard concertos (below) of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Mahler and Bruckner symphonies or Shostakovich string quartets are just too overwhelming and dark to be salutary. But that is just one person's opinion.
So given how many people are suffering with the flu or other sickness these days, what advice and illness and listening to music would you give?
Leave a recommendation in the COMMENT section – with a link to a YouTube performance, if possible.
The Ear wants to hear.

The Oakwood Chamber Players (below) officially begin their 2017-2018 season series with the theme "Journey" this coming weekend with a concert titled Departure on Saturday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 10, at 2 p.m.
However, the Oakwood Chamber Players will also present a special performance at Bos Meadery (below), 849 E. Washington Ave., on this Friday night, Sept. 8, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in a range of music choices that will include excerpts from the Departure concert along with a breadth of other styles of music. Donations will be accepted.
The two full-length concerts will both be held at the Oakwood Center for Arts and Education, 6209 Mineral Point Road, on the far west side of Madison near the West Towne Mall.
Guest artists pianist Joseph Ross, violist Sharon Tenhundfeld (below top) and violinist Maureen McCarty (below bottom) will join members of the Oakwood Chamber Players to launch their season.
Tickets can be purchased with cash or personal checks (no credit cards) at the door: $25 general admission, $20 seniors and $5 students.
For tickets and more information, go to www.oakwoodchamberplayers.com or call (608) 230-4316.
According to a press release, "Departure will explore composers' musical journeys as influenced by shifts in their artistic lives.
"Just two years after the start of his huge success in the expanding world of jazz-fusion, with renowned hits such as "Spain," American composer and pianist Chick Corea (below) wrote his Trio for flute, bassoon and piano in 1973.
"He created a fascinating blend — a classical style that both reflects his personal jazz-like fluidity at the keyboard but also transfers the sense of conversational-like interactions that occurs between players. (You can hear Chick Corea's Trio in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
"This succinct piece is infused with the composer's essential and recognizable artistic voice. Corea bridges the boundary between genres in an artful and engaging way, creating a brief snapshot of two artistic worlds joined through the piece's synergy.
"Academy Award-winning and Emmy award-winning film composer Bruce Broughton (below) has consistently contributed to the world of chamber music literature. Broughton's successes in the film industry include Young Sherlock Holmes, Silverado and The Rescuers Down Under.
"His Primer for Malachi, for flute, clarinet, cello and piano, was written in anticipation of the birth of a grandchild in 1997. Through its five short movements the piece creates a programmatic feel. It begins with quiet introspection, progressing through each movement with increasing rhythmic and melodic intensity, peaking with an action-packed instrumental musical tag, and concluding by musically catching its breath, slowing in the final movement to calm and flowing lines, mirroring the opening effect.
"Known for his emotive melodies Armenian-Soviet pianist and composer Alexander Arutiunian wrote prolifically for orchestra, chamber music and film.
"Written in Armenia after spending several years in Moscow, the Concert Waltz for winds and piano is taken from his 1958 film score for the movie "About My Friend." It is a wry waltz set in a minor key, and the composer infuses the familiar waltz dance form with a tongue-in-cheek sense of being on a slightly careening carousel. The piece sparkles with Armenian folk flavor and the energy is captivating.
"The Kaiserwaltz by Viennese composer Johann Strauss musically conjures up the grandeur of the ballroom. The piece was intended to symbolize 'a toast of friendship' between Germany and Austria. The waltz is full of upbeat musical declarations and graceful melodies.
"The Oakwood Chamber Players were pleased to discover that the piece had been reimagined from its full orchestral orchestration, written in 1889, to this delightful version, arranged in 1925 for chamber ensemble by Arnold Schoenberg (below). The grace of this music is refined and enduring.
"German composer and organist Max Reger's perspective on compositional artistry was informed by the masters who came before him.
"However, perpetually fascinated by fugues, Reger (below) often wrote pieces that were very abstract. He worried about the lasting reputation of penning these kinds of ultra-academic compositions. He was an ardent admirer of Bach, Brahms and Beethoven and was very capable of writing a range of styles that were both accessible and rooted in the historic perspectives.
"In his Serenade for flute, violin, and viola, written just a year before his death, he sought to show the range of his compositional capabilities and to silence critics by leaving more approachable music for posterity. At this pivotal time he reached his goal ably, giving the performers an outstanding piece with nimble rhythms, memorable melodies, and the bright voicing of an upbeat sound palette."
This is the first of five concerts in the Oakwood Chamber Players' 2017-2018 season series entitled Journey. Remaining concerts will take place on Nov. 26; Jan. 13 and 14; March 10 and 11; and May 19 and 20.
The Oakwood Chamber Players are a professional music ensemble proudly supported by Oakwood Lutheran Senior Ministries and the Oakwood Foundation.

School is out!
This weekend is Commencement Weekend at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Wisconsin System and many other colleges and universities across the nation.
Undergraduates will graduate in Camp Randall Stadium (below) today starting at noon.
And continuing students can at last put the hard work of classes and final papers and semester-end papers behind them.
So some celebration seems in order.
The Ear knows of two pieces that are surefire in the way they capture the spirit of the event.
For overall mood, The Ear thinks it is hard to top the upbeat energy of the "Academic Festival" Overture — heard below conducted by Leonard Bernstein in a YouTube video — which Johannes Brahms wrote on the occasion of receiving an honorary degree. It even includes an old Latin student drinking song.
The other piece is the "Pomp and Circumstance" March No. 1 (of 5) by Sir Edward Elgar — heard below in a YouTube video with a chorus singing "Land of Hope and Glory."
Sure, it is overplayed for everything from elementary school to graduate school. But that is only because it fits the occasion so perfectly and captures the stately poignancy of the moment when you leave one life behind and turn to face another.
Are the two pieces "warhorses"?
Make that certainly.
But The Ear thinks some old standards remain standards because they are just that good, not just that old.
Yet if you have other favorite works or you know of other worthy pieces – say, Franz Joseph Haydn's "Oxford" Symphony that he wrote when he received an honorary degree –please leave word and a YouTube link in the COMMENT section.
Cheers and congratulations to all!
