Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy Enterprise 1.5 Product Review
In this product review, get the pros and cons of Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy Enterprise 1.5 features, such as antispyware scanning, centralized logging and reporting.
Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy Enterprise 1.5
Sunbelt Software
Price: Starting at $255 for 10 users
|Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy Enterprise 1.5
The swift emergence of spyware as a serious business problem has forced organizations to divert money and resources to address the threat. Traditional AV companies are incorporating antispyware technology into their product lines, while antispyware vendors upgrade their home-user products to enterprise-caliber.
In this fledgling market, Sunbelt Software's Count-erSpy Enterprise 1.5 is an attractive option for a host-based spyware solution.
CounterSpy's greatest asset is its comprehensive threat signature database, compiled by its researchers and from customers. Also, Sunbelt has access to Micro-soft's definitions until July 2007 under its licensing agreement with Giant Anti-Spyware, which has since been purchased by Redmond.
Administrators may also whitelist specific signatures enterprise-wide, or for specific policy groups. This is helpful, for example, if your IT staff uses administrative tools that could be construed as spyware.
In addition to scanning for signatures, CounterSpy's Active Protection technology monitors the system for changes characteristic of spyware--such as ActiveX installations, Browser Helper Objects and host file changes--to counter unidentified threats.
In our lab, CounterSpy detected the vast majority of the spyware we threw at it, including keyloggers and adware. It failed to detect one keylogger, although other spyware products we ran also failed to detect it.
Centralized administration and management is solid. Managers can group systems according to various policies based on operational requirements. CounterSpy provides loose integration with Active Directory by allowing the assignment of an MSI installer to a Group Policy Object, but we'd like to see future versions include tighter integration, such as assigning policies directly to AD groups.
CounterSpy offers many of the reports you'd expect to see in a malware filter. You can slice and dice the numbers in enough ways to keep even the geekiest report jockey happy, or simply turn to one of the seven excellent predefined reports.
We were especially impressed with the one-page Executive Summary that uses attractive visuals to present a high-level view of the proportion of infected machines on the network, the severity of those infections, the overall threat landscape, and the top offending machines and spyware programs.
CounterSpy offers several flexible deployment op-tions, including directly pushing the agent to clients through the administration console, Active Directory GPOs, Microsoft Installer packages or .exe distributions for client-side installation.
Test Notes
- Excellent signature database
- Effective detection
- Good report options
- Better AD integration
Some organizations may prefer to keep an eye on products integrated with traditional AV solutions and the developing market for antispyware appliances. Alternatively, CounterSpy Enterprise is a viable option for organizations that want a robust antispyware tool and are prepared to deploy another desktop client.

Ambulance bosses are asking people to only dial 999 in an emergency as they prepare for a busy bank holiday weekend.
People are asked to stock up on medicines and seek help from their GP, pharmacist, the non-emergency 111 helpline and NHS walk-in centres.
Dr David Macklin, executive director of operations at Yorkshire Ambulance Service, said: "Bank holidays usually result in higher volumes of 999 calls which can put their valuable resources under pressure. "Typically there will be more socialising with friends and family during the three-day break and this can lead to more people becoming ill or injured and requiring medical advice and we usually see a rise in alcohol-fuelled incidents too. In addition, the roads are often busier and this can lead to more traffic-related incidents.
"We are not trying to stop people having a good time or deter them from calling 999 in a genuine medical emergency but what we do ask is that people look after themselves and others and think carefully about whether an emergency ambulance is the most appropriate service for their needs."
Dr Macklin said paramedics often responds to patients who have reported serious injuries but find they have minor illnesses.
He said: "We want to make sure that this weekend is one that people will remember for all the right reasons and, more importantly, that our ambulance crews are there for those who need them most. So please act responsibly and enjoy a safe bank holiday."

MediaSmarts has partnered with the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) to develop the Online Commerce Cyber Security Consumer Tip Sheet – the fourth in a series of tip sheets on cyber security issues.
Since at least the days of Birth of a Nation (1915), Hollywood has turned to history for material. A quick survey of this year's Academy Award nominations shows that this is as true now as ever, with five out of the nine nominees for Best Picture – Argo, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty and odds-on favourite Lincoln – based in history in some way. Their approaches vary, of course, with the history-as-backdrop approach of Les Miserables, the revenge fantasy of Django Unchained, the academic character study of Lincoln, the docudrama of Zero Dark Thirty and the history-as-thriller of Argo.
New York's Gramercy Park is a curious institution: two acres of fenced-in greenspace that is accessible only to those who own the houses surrounding the park. (Non-residents must either stay at the Gramercy Park Hotel or join the Players Club or National Arts Club if they want to visit, and each of these institutions has a limited number of park keys.) Private parks like it are the exception, of course, not the rule: since the days of Frederick Law Olmsted, who campaigned for and designed city parks across North America (Central Park, in New York, and Montreal's Mount Royal Park among them) we have come to expect most of our recreational spaces to be public. Cities and neighbourhoods are routinely rated on both the quantity and quality of their parks, and any suggestion that these services should be cut back always receives violent reactions from taxpayers; playgrounds, too, are public by default.
One of the most unusual things about Internet-based businesses is that few of them try very hard to make money. Of course, with a very few exceptions (such as Wikipedia) making money is certainly in the business plan, or there wouldn't be all that venture capital floating around, but in general the approach has been to come up with a good product or service first, and only look for ways to make it profitable after it's acquired a steady clientele. Hugely important and successful ventures like Google, YouTube and Facebook all started out operating at a significant loss. This pattern continues today: it's already hard to imagine the Internet without Twitter, but so far that service isn't earning its makers much money (though you can be sure they're looking for ways to do that.)
This is the second part of a two-part blog. The first part looked at some of the more straightforward ways of making money online such as sales, fee-for-service, subscription and brokerage.
After the controversy surrounding last year's proposed copyright bill C-61, which eventually died on the order table when Parliament was prorogued, the Federal government has decided to hold consultations across Canada before introducing a new version of the bill. While only time will tell how responsive the government will be to the public's submissions, the series of town halls and round tables is definitely a good start in making the process transparent and taking the views of a wide variety of Canadians into account. Below is an expanded version of MNet's submission to the Round Table held in Gatineau, Quebec on July 29th 2009.
The hottest media story in the past week has been the instantly infamous New Yorker cover portraying Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as terrorists. Though the Obama campaign has been measured in its response, media outlets – and particularly bloggers – have been vocal in their disapproval. Some have suggested that the cover crosses the line from satire into hate speech, while others accuse TheNew Yorker of giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy' by visually depicting the smears and misconceptions that have been aimed at the candidate.
Ads like the one above have been appearing in public transit systems in Ottawa, Toronto and other Ontario cities over the last month, supposedly promoting a drug called "Obay" which prevents teenagers from having their own thoughts, hopes and dreams. It's a classic example of viral marketing: an ad campaign that doesn't actually name the product or service being promoted, but rather tries to get people talking about it in the hopes that when the product is finally unveiled the effect will be greater than a traditional ad campaign could have managed.
People who make their living producing images, such as photographers, stylists, publicists, directors and pop idols, learn how to use those signs to convey the impression they want to make. Although teen girls who are trying to send a signal to their circle of friends and pop music producers who are trying to send a signal to an audience of millions are working on different scales, the principle is very much the same. Depending on your audience, you need to tailor the signals you send out very carefully. Even your age can have a certain amount of wiggle room when dressed in the right signs.
Joe McGinniss' book The Selling of the President had a shocking title for 1968, suggesting as it did that in the television age the presidency had become nothing more than another product to be packaged and sold. A new MNet resource, Watching the Elections (a lesson for Grade 8 to 12 Social Studies classes), shines a light on how the different aspects of an election – from the debates to political ads to the candidates themselves – are actually media products.

Lesson Plans Details

TopicFive senses lesson plan objectives.
AuthorLaura Zepps
PostedSat, Jul 06th 2019 05:49 AM
All good lesson plans contain specific components or steps, and all essentially derive from the seven-step method developed by Madeline Hunter, a UCLA professor and education author. The Hunter Method, as it came to be called, includes these elements: objective/purpose, anticipatory set, input modeling/modeled practice, check for understanding, guided practice, independent practice, and closure.
Activate Background Knowledge. Set the stage by tapping into your students' background knowledge – previous life experiences, prior learning, or both – to prepare them for the new concept you're about to introduce. The point is to make connections between what your students already know and what you`re going to teach them. For example, if you`re about to present a lesson on using metaphors and similes in writing, start out by discussing what makes a story engrossing to a reader.

[Verse 1]
Like, Like
Mountains and peaks, valleys I been through
The landlord telling me come through, rent due
Since you seem to have it all figured out
Next month while you coppin' one, cop' me a Benz too
They all think just because rhymes being laid
That niggas getting paid, when I struggle like you do
Put out more product and it's better than labels move
Meet the frustration that I never gave into, Nigga
Lauryn ain't crazy, just dont know what she been though
Complaining bout radio, my nigga, got no room
Cause niggas wit opinions dont support you on itunes
Listen, my soul mission was to rap and get paid too
Be someone that these little girls look up to
Now I see the game for what it is, a big chess move
Playing my cards all how they was dealt
I won't blessed with the money so my movement ain't felt
Nigga, smoke and mirrors, look in the mirror
Telling myself, "self ain't you glad your shit is imperial?"
I rule everything around me the C.R.E.A.M
Get your dollar, dollar bills yall this game is all a scheme
For control and being sold is a backwards kinda thing
They saying I'm the future so I'll never waste my ring
And not answer my calling to be your daughter dream
My train of thought rapid, Im just blowing esteem
Putting fear in these rappers all proclaiming they king
If Maximus had a wife, then to Rome I'd be queen
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme heebie jeebies
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme heebie jeebies
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme heebie jeebies
Believe me, too many of you frontin for TV
Only real live niggas get respect easy
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme heebie jeebies
Believe me, frontin' niggas gimme heebie jeebies
[Verse 2]
Miami beach, ain't seen no water yet
Heavy on mind like Avirex, I X'd
Out distractions, to be the rap rim
Goal that they tryna reach if you needing some evidence
You can ask 9th, address like residence
I'm nothing like these niggas we separate, I'm Evelyn
I spazz out like ex-wives to ballers
You wanna feel something? Then you know who to recommend
Jamla the squad in present tense, the team
Like Dream of '92 that they prayed to the reverend
To rebirth a nation, water distilled
So, when she break water spill, catch the flow like Jacqueline
Onassis, the curse and the gift
Canibus, take notes to you niggas that's battling, nigga
Whats beef? Cattle and javelin
That shit ain't real nowadays, niggas just actin' it
Zulu the real, the nation I rep
Keep medallions round my neck like the belt post accident
Kanye West, walk with Jesus my way
How you really all should pray if you knew what was happening
Yo, forget the name, they never can do
Twenty years still touched cuz the flow so passionate
Like prayers up to Jehovah when traveling
Protect me from rap foes and all the fake rap men
Believe me they souls is paper thin, for paper when
Heart ain't gold, I dont find you rich like Solomon
Rap three times nice like the number of wise men
Frontin' niggas juke 'em every day like Heisman

So, it's a common element in fan-theories and fanfictions that Kaito and Shinichi are the same age. But, I don't think so.
Let's pretend for a while that time has some meaning in the DCMK universe, and that the protagonists aren't eternally in the second year of highschool.
Kuroba Kaito is at least a year older than Kudou Shinichi.
When Kaito's story starts out, he's in his 2nd-to-last year of highschool. In the MK manga, he takes a break from being KID for exams (and a cold), so Kaito is probably in or about to enter his final year of highschool at the end of the MK manga.
After the events into the manga, (an unknown amount of time) the clock tower heist happens. It happens before the events in Shinichi's manga. From how everyone is dressed, the it was in the summer.
At the beginning of Shinichi's story, Shinichi and Ran are wearing light coats, and winter school uniforms at school, and there's no snow, which means it's either spring or fall. Since it was a big championship that Shinichi was congratulating Ran for, it was probably toward the end of the school year, beginning of the next, which would make it spring. Since this outing was planned, they probably put it off 'til after exams were over. So, we meet them probably at the beginning of their 2nd year of highschool. Also, Shinichi is able to transfer into the 1st-grade class as a child with very little trouble, and they're only just starting to learn addition. That makes it the beginning of school year.
Therefore, Shinichi is at least one year behind Kaito in school, and at least 11 months younger than him. Though, because we don't know how much time is between the MK storyline and the DC storyline, Kaito could be out of highschool by the time that they faceoff at the clocktower, and he could be as much as 3 years older than Shinichi.

EATONTON, Ga. – Senior Taylor Smith (Mansfield, Ga.) posted the lowest score of any individual in the final round, helping the No. 11 Georgia College golf squad jump two spots to take 11th place at team's home tournament, the 2013 Bobcat Invitational.
Battling one of the tougher courses and a brutal 17-team field featuring seven top-10 teams, the Bobcats shot a final round 290 on the par-70, 6,730-yard Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee course.
Smith carded a 68 today, paired with yesterday's 78 and 71 for a seven-over score. The All-American took 20th overall among 90 golfers, and first on the squad.
Junior Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) had rounds of 78, 69 and 74, finishing 11-over in 37th. Classmate Bryan Fox (Roswell, Ga.) was two strokes behind in 48th at 13-over par with consistent rounds of 74, 75 and 74.
Senior Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) carded a 76 followed by a pair of 74s, finishing 52nd at 14-over par. Rounding out the scoring was sophomore Ryan Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) in 62nd at plus-20 on rounds of 78, 78, 74.
Georgia College also sent two golfers as individuals to the course, Pontus Andersson (Helsingborg, Sweden) finishing 65th at plus-19 (79-73-77), and Tyler Tucker (Cochran, Ga.) 70th at plus-21 (72-80-79).
No. 10 Lynn University took the team title for the second time in three years, owning rounds of 279, 286 and 289 for plus-14. No. 19 Armstrong, No. 1 Nova Southeastern University and No. 6 USC Aiken tied for second, four strokes behind the Fighting Knights.
The Bobcats beat two schools ranked in the GolfStat Head-to-Head top-25, including No. 7 University of North Alabama and No. 18 Georgia Southwestern State University.
Armstrong's Gus Wagoner took individual medalist honors, holding off Adam Svensson of Barry University by a single stroke. Wagoner had rounds of 69-66-73.
The Bobcats are back in action Monday, March 25 at the Bearcat Invitational, hosted by Lander University.

A True Italian Meal
Rocco tells us about his family dinners and his mother's meatballs.
First things first, we had no idea who would win the signature dish challenge. So before you start complaining that the twins didn't compete against each other, think about it. We would have loved to see the twins go head-to-head, but Ninamarie's super delicious smoked lamb made that impossible.
Last night's dinner party was especially close to my heart. I asked for a traditional Italian family dinner, one that would take me way back to my family's table as a child. My grandmother, my mother, my aunts, and my uncles would overwhelm us with the flavors, smells, and sounds of handmade, homegrown food being enjoyed by the most carefree bunch of loudmouths you've ever met. All of my guests had the same childhood experience and the same point of reference, so the pressure to recreate that magic was intense. I knew it had to ring true for them also, or it wouldn't be a fun night. If I didn't make the right choices, we could all end up feeling like we were at Olive Garden.
What exactly is a traditional dinner in an Italian family? In mine there was homemade wine and bread, then a table full of antipasti. This came in endless varieties. It might be fish, meat, vegetables, bread, egg, cheeses, or salume, alone or in some combination. Crostini are very popular antipasti. These are simply slices of good bread, lightly toasted in the oven and spread with something tasty -- sometimes a mince of ripe tomato, fresh basil, and a dollop of fragrant olive oil.
Then came the primo, or the pasta course. In our home there was always a special pasta (or macaroni), and it was always the most labor intensive ones like handmade orrechiette, malfati, manicotti, lasagna, or ravioli. The pasta sauce (or gravy) was usually a ragu (chunks of pork, veal, sausages, and meatballs braised in a tomato sauce all day).
After the primo was, of course, secondo. The secondo in an Italian meal is the most like a main course in the U.S., but it's usually a smaller portion than we're used to. Quail, chicken, rabbit, beef, or fish are an ideal secondo.
After that, we always had dolce, or dessert. Dolce is usually very simple in an Italian dinner. (Those elaborate cream pastries in Italian bakeries are usually eaten as mid-morning or afternoon snacks, not with a meal.) Generally it's just fresh fruit from the garden peeled by a grownup or a few biscotti with a cup of strong espresso flavored with zambuco (café corretto). We ate these dishes again and again, and they were woven deeply into our way of life.
Meals in Italy have always been about more than food. The purpose of a traditional Italian dinner is to make everyone in the family feel loved. And so at this dinner party especially, I would be judging the chefs on whether they could make my guests feel cared for and loved. It was the first thing I told them when I explained the theme. Who was listening?
Competing were Ninamarie Bojekian, chef and owner of Ooh LaLa Catering and Events in New Jersey; Fabrizio Carro, executive chef at Quattro in New York City; and Nicola Carro, executive chef at Quattro in Miami. As I'm sure you saw, Fabrizio and Nicola are identical twins and Italian through and through. Both grew up with a passion for cooking and have translated that into stirring up innovative Italian "gastronomia" as they call it at their restaurant, Quattro in Miami.
With twin chefs presiding in the kitchen, I wasn't sure which brother was cooking what. I asked Nicola to wear a scarf so I could tell them apart…or was that Fabrizio? And did you see the look on Ninamarie's face when they strolled in? The twins had a light-hearted, loving competition going on between them. She thought she was being punked.
As the trio got started on the Signature Dish Competition, Ninamarie had something really innovative going on -- a homemade stovetop smoker in which she was hot smoking lamb chops. Aromas began to curl through my kitchen. Lots of billowing smoke soon followed, so I had to check to make sure all was going as planned before I let the fire dept know we wouldn't be needing them this time. She'd serve it with blood orange dill yogurt and onion fennel salad. These are bold flavors and really require a deft touch to pull it together. Otherwise it would be a catastrophe in your mouth! I was dubious.
Fabrizio prepared a lamb dish too, scottaditto of Colorado lamb Milanese style with a green olive sauce and risotto. No one was going to go hungry at his dinner party, that much I knew already. Scottaditto is one of my all time favorite ways to prepare lamb. It's usually just simply grilled baby lamb chops seasoned with lemon and oregano. You pick them up hot with your fingers and tear away. The name "scotta" means burn and "ditto" means fingers. I'm not sure why he felt the need to reinvent this dish. It didn't make a lot of sense to me.
Two lamb dishes? Here's something I've learned about lamb -- When it's great, it's phenomenal. But when it's not, it'll ruin your night after just one bite. I was hoping for phenomenal.
Nicola prepared handmade taglioni bomba style, made with rabiola cheese, ham, zucchini, radicchio, and Barolo wine sauce.
And they did all this in 30 minutes.
Then came the time to taste the Signature Dishes. I started with Ninamarie's dish. I've eaten some fine lamb in my time, but hers was way overcooked. I let her taste it. She admitted that the heat of the smoke was too intense and overcooked the lamb. But you know what? All the flavors came together, and it somehow tasted really good. She was brazen with her approach and not worse for it. She may have the gift!
On the flip side, Fabrizio's was really underdone. It was blue and cold in the center to the point of being inedible. I would hate it if he served my guests something so undercooked. Most people would freak out. Undercooked beef is one thing, but cold, blue lamb makes even diehard gastronomes wince. The wonderful flavor combinations of everything else on the plate saved him. He had a nice sensibility that made a traditional dish appealing even as it was being deconstructed and put back together again.
Not so with Nicola's dish. There were so many competing flavors in his dish that I couldn't tell what he was trying to accomplish. It was more a feat of physics than cooking. The beauty of a bomba is that it's a neat little package wrapped by something and filled with something. But the down side is you can't taste what you're serving without ruining the bomba! It was over-flavored, over-seasoned, and none of the elements worked together. Zero harmony. This dish was a battlefield, and Italians are usually such peaceful people. I was not impressed. It added up to one big mess, and Nicola was out. I was surprised. It seemed clear to everyone in the room that this dinner party was being set up for a twin chef showdown. Guess every competition isn't fixed, huh?
I awarded the Signature Dish Challenge to Ninamarie, who proved my own personal philosophy that you can produce magical results with ordinary ingredients. That's exactly what she did.
Ninamarie is not Italian; she's Greek-Armenian. Would that make her an underdog? I didn't know. I was a little nervous. Even though she cooks dinner parties for people all the time this food had to be authentic. Anybody who fakes Italian food irks me. When I was growing up, the food my mother and grandmother cooked was so genuine and generous that I always felt cared for. And that's how I needed my guests to feel tonight.
After Ninamarie and Fabrizio chose their rooms and designed their décor, I knew we might be in for a rocky night. Remember, this is a traditional Italian family dinner party. So why did Ninamarie chose a Little Italy type restaurant theme with photos of stereotyped Italians hanging on the wall? A traditional Italian meal is eaten at home. I was afraid this would be a sobering, off-putting experience for my guests.
Fabrizio -- who is so Italian that at the end of this blog you'll be ordering pasta, listening to some Pavarotti, and saying "Bravo!" and "Ciao!" with an Italian accent -- took a completely different approach. He designed the terrace to look like an Italian garden, complete with fruit trees, herbs, and vines. It was so authentic that I expected Giorgio Armani to be lighting candles and Sophia Loren to be pouring Chianti. I could see that Fabrizio was determined to do it right.
I hosted a lively, fun group of guests last night: Caroline and Albert Manzo, stars of 'The Real Housewives Of New Jersey' and co-owners of the Brownstone; Joey Fatone, former member of *NSYNC; Sara Gore, host of 'Open House' and 'New York Live'; Tammy Pescatelli, comedienne and actress; and Silvano Marchetto, chef and owner of DaSilvano restaurant in New York City.
As I served them wine, Fabrizio and Ninamarie hustled into my kitchen, cooking up what would hopefully be a warm, Italian embrace. Fabrizio went to work with a lot of bravado; I think he was trying to psych out Ninamarie by criticizing her for cooking chicken in mayonnaise. I was perplexed by that choice as well. Mayonnaise doesn't make food tender as Ninamarie claimed; it simply adds fat.
As I normally do at my dinner parties, I asked if any of my guests had any special dietary requests. Sara spoke up, saying she was on a diet and trying to avoid carbs and fat-laden food. Her request had challenging written all over it. These days we all know someone who's on a low-carb diet, so I wasn't totally surprised. But here's the deal -- Italians love and eat all types of carbs from the minute they're born until the day they die. But how exactly can you have an Italian dinner party without bread and pasta?
Sara and I spoke to the chefs, and while I didn't hear it, I felt them let out a large "argh" and possibly a few expletives. But if one of my guests wants low-carb choices, then that's exactly what I want to give them. I was counting on Fabrizio and Ninamarie to come through for me on this one.
Ninamarie's party was first. Caroline loved the décor; she and Albert had their first date in Little Italy, so the room made them feel nostalgic.
Ninamarie served a martini of vodka infused with rosemary and topped off with Prosecco. It was strong and really good. Her first course -- eggplant caponata and zucchini bread with grilled asparagus and figs -- was a big hit. Her secondo was cockles and mussels served with Israeli couscous, along with chopped chicken "scarparelli" (she calls it scarparelli, but the real name is scarpariello, which means in the style of the shoemaker i.e. cobbled together from many resources) and pasta. I glanced over to Sara on my left. She wasn't happy. Ninamarie had not done anything special to fulfill Sara's dietary request. She simply ignored it. I was devastated and was giving Ninamarie bad marks in my head.
Ninamarie's next course, veal Milanese made with peaches, got rave reviews. Caroline announced that she wanted to steal the recipe. It's always a good sign at a dinner party when people want your recipe. It was a very good dish and another example of Ninamarie's brilliance with flavor combinations.
Ninamarie stuck to tradition with fruit for dessert. She served a chilled, poached basil infused fruit cup, topped with sweetened crème fraiche. It was just ok. As one guest remarked, "It didn't have time to fuse."
On to Fabrizio's party. My guests felt transported to a jardino Toscano as they entered. It felt like a traditional family moment to me, although growing up in Queens, it wasn't what our home looked like (unfortunately). We had more concrete than grass and more chain link fence than charming pergola! Still everything was all about being traditional. The mood was festive but still elegant, there was food and wine everywhere, and fresh herbs and fresh fruit were growing in the space.
We were served a very Italian cocktail, an Aperol Spritz, made with Aperol and Campari. It was sweet, bitter, sparkling… a perfect way to start this meal off.
Here's where things got interesting: Fabrizio served the super-traditional antipasti as his first course. A lively debate ensued. Did putting together a family-style serving of various cheeses, meats, and vegetables showcase his culinary talents sufficiently, as a few guests questioned? Or was it about creating a traditional Italian experience, as others asserted? I wasn't about to referee this one. I just dug in and started enjoying the antipasti like I did as a kid. But thinking about it now, I asked them to make us feel loved, and his choice certainly did that.
For the second course, Fabrizio made meatballs. Dangerous territory! My mother makes the best meatballs in the entire world. Excuse me while I go silent for a second dreaming about her meatballs. Hers are the greatest without question, so you could say I'm discerning when it comes to meatballs.
I admit I was shocked when I tasted Fabrizio's meatballs. They were absolutely delicious. What he did to them was amazing. I should emphasize that they were made without bread -- the same way my mom makes them. Sara could enjoy them too. (Not everything Italian is loaded with carbs.)
The meatballs were a huge hit, although Fabrizio claims they are usually a children's dish. The next course of lasagna was confusing. It looked perfect, and the texture was a dream. But the flavor was "flat," that was the consensus. It wasn't a terrible experience, but it sure wouldn't leave anyone yearning for seconds.
Here's what I applauded though -- Fabrizio whipped up a no-carb lasagna for Sara, made with strips of thinly sliced zucchini to fill in for lasagna noodles. Brilliant move. At Fabrizio's dinner party she never felt left out.
The next course was white fish poached in what Italians call "crazy water." That's water with a bunch of different spices and other ingredients in it. Sometimes seawater is used. I think that the name comes from the fact that if you drink the water you get crazy. (Or that you'd be crazy to drink it?) Regardless of the origin, this is a very typical way to prepare fish in Southern Italy, and when it's done right, it's amazing. I don't know if the water wasn't crazy enough, but the fish smelled fishy. That's a sign that the fish might have not been fresh, which was a real downer for that dish.
The dolce was panna cotta served like mousse in a cup. Much of the fun of panna cotta (flavored cream set with gelatin and served cold) is watching it jiggle unmolded on the plate. Silvano was disappointed. No matter, everyone loved it. It was so good that I'm still heady from the experience.
Deciding the winner was going to be tough. Silvano suggested that they both win and split the prize. But it just wasn't that easy. Fabrizio had a few missteps, but created a true Italian experience. Plus he accommodated Sara brilliantly. Ninamarie has an innate sense of flavor that can't be taught, but she didn't care enough about her guest's dietary request and happiness, which ended up costing her. It's all about who created the most memorable experience for my guests, from décor to dessert, and in the end, that was Fabrizio. He took home $20,000, which he is splitting with his twin brother, Nicola, on their trip to Hawaii. So not only is the family honor still intact, but both brothers won in a sense.
As for my guests, we all had fun. I loved it when Joey graciously spoke to Caroline's daughter, Lauren, on the phone. Those are moments to remember and cherish.
Thank you Caroline, Albert, Joey, Sara, Tammy, and Silvano. May we all meet again someday.

But G2014 pretty much conceives of ecological balance as the present status quo plus Godzilla, and I've been eager to see a challenge to that perspective ever since, even if I end up disagreeing with both views. I hadn't expected the anime trilogy to make the attempt, though, which makes THE PLANET EATER more interesting to me than Parts 1 and 2.

He just...floats, first figuratively, and then literally. And that was the problem with the whole movie; it was a lot of inactive floating. Every character except Metphies shows a frustrating lack of drive in this final movie. Everyone else spends all their time commenting on the fallout of movie 2, commenting on what Godzilla and Ghidorah are doing (which mostly involved staying still, changing temperature, and more literal floating), or just standing around and dying. Nobody does anything.
Years ago, a producer—happened to be a very schlock producer, but he knew what he was talking about—said that if a blind man sits in front of a television set listening to a drama and he can tell you afterwards what it was about, then the director, the producer, the writer and everybody else have failed. Likewise, if a deaf man watches a television show and can tell you what the whole thing was about, then it has succeeded. This is a way of underlining the fact that it's a visual medium.
Honda saw the first Godzilla film as a humanist statement against nuclear weapons. The message that Honda sought to transmit in Godzilla (1954) can likely be summed up by Dr. Yamane's line at the end of the film that man should stop tinkering with nuclear weapons lest another Godzilla appear one day. Ifukube saw things a little differently. For him, Godzilla was an appealing character because he represented the superiority or supremacy of the forces of nature over man's technological advancements. Godzilla is a god worshipped by the Odo Islanders; these are not by any means metropolitan people; this is a population far removed from the hustle and bustle and city lights of Tokyo; they cling to the old ways and Godzilla is their pagan god, their avatar. When man's technology, i.e. the hydrogen bomb, irritates Godzilla and wakes him from his aquatic slumber, he sets off to Tokyo and obliterates it. All of man's modern weaponry such as tanks, planes and missiles do nothing to stop him. Godzilla destroys all of modern Tokyo including the Diet Building, the literal representation of the modern, post-war Japanese government and society. At no point do we see Godzilla destroy any of Tokyo's "old world" sites such as the Asakusa Temple or the Imperial Palace. Godzilla spares those.
Again, in Ifukube's mind, Godzilla represented a sort of anti-technological catharsis. Pagan nature's power over technology, as I have said. Indeed, a very different outlook from Honda's.

God willing, I hope I am around in 10 years to see these results.
Psycho Soldier wrote:I do have to give THE PLANET EATER credit, though: it finally delivered the anti-civilization message I've anticipated from this franchise for a while. I'm not anti-civ, mind you, but given the Godzilla series' general skepticism of technology, the expression of such a message did seem inevitable.
Psycho Soldier wrote:Fair points. It might also be worth pointing out that, in a way, the Houtua are destined to (re)produce a monster of their own, Mothra. but she seems not to be a destructive force in the vein of Godzilla, Mechagodzilla or Ghidorah, and doesn't strictly require humans for her rebirth or summoning anyway, IIRC. So yes, the Houtua, while closer to nature than their predecessors, still retain elements of civilization, and that's why I don't go full John Zerzan at 2 A.M. on a message board.
angilas wrote:yeah, he's definitely still alive. Haruo just wanted to take himself out, put out of her misery, and hurt Godzilla in the process. This should end humanities ambitions and the cycle of tech and gloom that the houta don't understand. I personally think it's his offspring with Miana (she definitely seemed pregnant before and older at the end) that hint at continuing the cycle in the post credits Mothra worship scene. Was that Mothra's egg they touched when she appeared to destroy the Enola Gay? Or was it just a curved wall?

It was definitely a grueling journey for Haruo. I like how each of these films takes a broader view of the proceedings as Haruo's own perspective is broadened. Planet of the Monsters puts the audience in the thick of a military endeavor as humanity fights to reclaim the planet from Godzilla, but by the end of The Planet Eater the bigger picture comes into view and it's clear that Haruo had been embroiled in the cycle of demise since the beginning.
Humanity brought about Godzilla on Earth when Haruo was a child and his fear became a deep-seeded hatred over time, cushioned in pride and a misguided sense of humanity. Haruo's hatred led to dozens of his comrades dying in futile battle against Godzilla and it was nearly the catalyst for Ghidorah taking root in this world. That cycle of demise had taken countless worlds before but Haruo managed to break it. Then Lazzari inadvertently threatened to revive it with the Bilusaludo's nanometal.
Haruo knew that his mental link to Ghidorah originated with his hatred for Godzilla. Fear is natural but hatred is a pitfall and Haruo admired how the Houtua didn't even have a word for hate. He wanted them to continue to live in peace and balance with Godzilla and the planet, and he didn't want his friends to replicate their past civilization, so Haruo took all of that potential for corruption and burned it up. The Houtua's annual ritual seems meant to reconcile their fears in a healthy way and they acknowledge Haruo's intent with their chant: "Our Wrathful Lord. Please purify us again this year. Please forget the curses with this flame."

Psycho Soldier wrote:I appreciate that; thank you. Now that we've had the discussion, I still think the trilogy is skeptical of civilization itself, but the ending's ambiguity leaves room for questioning. We're not inclined to see Mothra as a threat to humans, but that comes as much from franchise tradition as her role in the story of the trilogy. Plus, we see her primarily through the eyes of the protagonists. It also seems whenever humans and aliens worship monsters--Mothra, Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla (not in a religious sense, perhaps, but in a similar vein)--in 66.6% of cases, it works out poorly for the worshipers and their civilizations. We don't know if or how Mothra and the Houtua might prove different, but comparisons to the Exif and Bilusaludo are downplayed quite a bit, as I recall.
It's a lot to sift through casually like this. For all this intellectual meat to consume, I wish the trilogy were more watchable so I could have an even more detailed discussion. I just can't see myself sitting through Part 1 again, even if Parts 2 and 3 deliver some goods. I hope the next anime project (if there is one) comes from Madhouse, Studio Trigger or another good studio like them. At a minimum, I need to see a better script and more creative use of the animation medium. If you're not bound to rubber suits, do the right thing--make Godzilla fly again.
angilas wrote:One thing I do like about this film is that it has a moral lesson. I feel that was something common in cinema. While some hate being hit over the head with it, most films now just seem to be out for profit. Not saying that wasn't a primary concern here, and while I would have much preferred a trilogy that showed off Tohos kaiju catalogue, the message here is meaningful. It's easy to get caught up in the cycle of hate if you aren't careful. I guess that's a lesson in Star Wars etc too.

klen7 wrote:Mexigojira wrote:there were some interesting ideas.
Aside from the visuals, this is probably my biggest disappointment. There were a lot of legitimately interesting ideas, but to quote a friend they were more like writing prompts
Idea: What if Godzilla were plant based?!
Fan: Umm ok i guess? so what does that change? Hold on. come back. Are we going to revisit this?
Idea: What if we reveal there is more than one Godzilla?
Fan: That's an interesting reveal, how many? is the world full of them? is it just two? wait! is this ever going to be mentioned again?
Idea: What if there are these flying bird monsters that share Godzilla's DNA?
Fan: Oh cool, kind of like a flock of Gyaos? That would be cool, do the humans fight them? does Godzilla fight them? wait! are we going to revisit this?
Idea: What if this Godzilla is like the biggest ever?!
Fan: Bigger is better, but it looks the same size as the little one because of the cheap animation and absence of points of reference or ground shots? wait are we going to revisit this?
Idea: What if Godzilla shoots his beam from an area in front of his nose and can sling an energy wave from his tale?
Fan: Umm... I guess i have to allow it, Shin Godzilla did something different, Heisei Godzilla mixed things up too. At least it will make for a more dynamic kaiju battle, right?
Idea: What if Mechagodzilla had multiple forms that it could transform into because it is made with nano-metal?
Fan: Oh cool, can't wait to see those in action... the design is a little odd, but once we see it in action it'll make sense? We are going to get to see all those in action right?
Idea: But what if Mechagodzilla took the form of a city?!
Fan: Ummm and then turned into a Mechagodzilla? is it at least shaped like mechagodzilla? Wait how is this different from any other city?
Idea: What if there are tentacle monsters that capture girls and pull their legs open?
Fan: No! Bad anime! This is why we couldn't talk about you publicly during the 90s! ... Does Godzilla fight them? Wait... will we even see these mentioned again?
Idea: What if humanity is now part bug?!
Fan: ummm... wait... is this like the plant thing? are we going to revisit this?
Idea: What if Godzilla was part of all civilization's destinies to be created?
Fan: Is this what the plant thing was about? No? what about the other Godzilla that spawned after civilization was destroyed? No? I give up, just show me Ghidorah...
There are a lot of cool ideas, but the execution fails to bring them to life. It's fine to let the ideas speak for themselves on the screen and in the narrative, but this series is packed with exposition dumps and for the most part leaves these dangling narratively and visually. Going back to my thoughts on the first movie, i think the strength of these movies are in their implications, but much like a writing prompt its left up to the viewer to develop these, which can be interesting but it is not good story telling, because of this I don't think people should be surprised by how strongly many fans dislike this series given the visual story telling nature of tokusatsu.
Mexigojira wrote:Been reading some reviews, as far as I've read, I think at the end, people just wanted a Godzilla fight.

Crafted by Tauck and Ken Burns – The world's first national park inspires awe any time of the year, as Yellowstone winter tours would attest. But as you'll discover on this very special 8-day Culturious trip, visiting the national park during the winter – when bison, elk, wolves and bighorn sheep wander across snow-covered valleys, and Yellowstone's amazing geologic features are even more spectacular in the frigid air – is a whole other... and perhaps other-worldly... experience. Exploring by snowcoach, you'll see gurgling mud pots and steaming hot springs surrounded by frozen landscapes... waterfalls whose cataracts partially freeze into ice bridges... and geysers, like iconic Old Faithful, erupting dramatically into the cold winter air. And you'll meet a noted naturalist and wildlife photographer who offers insights into the lives of the park's iconic species. When filmmaker Ken Burns and his colleague Dayton Duncan started thinking of new trips on which to share their unique stories and experiences, a wintertime Yellowstone tour was a natural choice – and Culturious was a natural fit. In Dayton's words: "You've never really seen Yellowstone until you've been there in winter. Once a snowcoach takes you into the interior (the roads are snow-covered), you have this incredible place pretty much to yourself." Small groups, active travel, immersive – it's Wonderland: Yellowstone in Winter... and it's Culturious.
Tell us a little about yourself and we'll make sure you get the most relevant information.

I found myself in Walgreens on Friday looking at canes. I was kind of in a trance, staring at them thinking, "Will I need a cane? If so, when? Do I need one now?"

By the Seine, opposite the Trocadéro, Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel offers an unparalleled view of the Eiffel Tower, just 180 m away from the hotel balconies. And all around, a host of culinary and cultural attractions await. Welcomer Monica Castaneda has
some hot tips for her visitors.
Monica likes spending time at the Brasserie Suffren, a favorite local meeting place.
In warmer weather she prefers a picnic on the Champs de Mars. "Where" and "le Figaroscope" are good sources of information, but colleagues and customers are even better:
"They are out and about, and tell us what's happening". The question she is most often asked? Do you sell tickets for the Eiffel Tower?" (No, buy them there, or on the website). " And the weirdest question ever?
""Believe it or not - it was 'where is the Eiffel Tower?' - when we're sitting right at the foot of the tower!"
La Fontaine de Mars
This restaurant was established in 1908. It specializes in French south-west style cuisine, and in 2009 was honored to serve US President Barack Obama. The menu features foie gras, duck and cassoulet.
129 rue Saint-Dominique
75 007 Paris
Musée du Quai Branly
This museum is housed in a building designed by Jean Nouvel and features African, Native American and Oceanic art. It has been successful, controversial and provocative since its 2006 opening - don't miss it!
37 Quai Branly
75 007 Paris
Les Invalides
A military hospital and home for army veterans under Louis XIV, the Invalides complex with its distinctive golden dome also houses Napoleon's tomb, the Army Museum and fascinating 3D Relief Map Museum.
129 rue de Grenelle
75 007 Paris
Monica Castaneda enjoys seeing Paris from the river Seine, especially at night, "when Paris is again the city of light" - and many would agree. It's always worth taking a cruise in a 'bateau-mouche', even for long-time local residents.
Port de la Conférence, Pont de l'Alma
75 008 Paris
Monica Castaneda suggests taking the Pont d'Iéna over the Seine to explore the Trocadéro gardens, visit the Architecture and Heritage Center and Naval Museum, and of course get a perfect view of the masterwork of Gustave Eiffel.
French bread is much more than the baguette... This bakery has enjoyed success with its leavened bread recipe since 1932. The bread is made from stone-milled Poilâne flour and Guérande salt, then baked in a wood-fire oven.
49 bd de Grenelle
75 015 Paris
The whole of Paris comes here for Lemoine's cannelés, a Bordeaux specialty, with their soft dough center and caramelized crust. The recipe dates from the 16th century, and Lemoine does it in style, with farm eggs and milk, and traditionally crafted rum.
74 rue Saint Dominique
75 007 Paris
Musée Dapper
This private museum opened in 1986 and features a collection of art from the African continent and its diaspora, with frequent exhibitions and performances. Le Café Dapper is the perfect place to take some time out.
35 Rue Paul Valéry
75 016 Paris
Japan Cultural Institute in Paris
A magnificent building, fantastic shop, and a comprehensive schedule of exhibitions, films, lectures and workshops on Franco-Japanese links in the arts, cinema and design.
101 bis Quai Branly
75 015 Paris
Dengan hamparan hijau Taman Ibirapuera di lantai bawah, pelancong dapat melupakan hotel, selain itu pusat bisnis utama São Paulo dan pusat hiburan dapat dicapai dengan mudah.
Semua kamar di hotel ini menawarkan pemandangan Ho Chi yang luar biasa Minh City, tetapi pemandangan dari restoran puncak gedung, Cobalt, tak terkalahkan.
Hotel ini tepat berada di seberang Hyde Park dan di pusat kota, sehingga Anda tidak perlu pergi jauh jika Anda lebih tertarik dengan teater, museum, berbelanja, atau pergi ke bar.

North Koreans attend a rally to celebrate the successful launch of the Unha-3 (Milky Way 3) rocket, which carried the second version of the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite, in Pyongyang on December 14, 2012.
South Korean navy ships have found what appeared to be debris from the rocket launched by North Korea this week. NBCNews.com's Alex Witt reports.
Reuters reports — When North Korea's Kim Jong Un commemorates a year of his rule next week, he will be able to declare he has fulfilled the country's long-held dream of becoming a "space powerhouse".
In a mass parade in Pyongyang on Friday, tens of thousands of soldiers dressed in olive green and standing in serried ranks, as well as bareheaded civilians, celebrated this week's successful rocket launch, hailing Kim's "victory".
"Under the great leadership of Kim Jong Un, we are carrying out a sacred task towards our last victory so as to build strong and prosperous nation," Kim Ki Nam, a politburo member from the Workers Party of Korea, told the applauding and cheering crowds that turned out in freezing temperatures. Read the full story.

A Note on Product UpgradingDevadason, Evelyn (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper addresses the importance of network trade between Malaysia and China and assesses the extent of product upgrading in components traded. The study brings to the fore the following. First, China is emerging as an important market for component imports relative to component exports. As such the increase in two-way flows of parts and components for further processing and development, implying a shift away from assembly-end operations, remains insignificant. Second, network trade appears to have improved the quality of exports (reflecting the 'moving up of the value chain') destined to China, but the gaps between the unit values of export and imports have narrowed in the recent past, implying less product development. network trade, two-way trade, unit values, relative unit values, product upgrading URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7403

HISTORY:The Typhoon was a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. The Typhoon was designed to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, and a direct replacement for the Hawker Hurricane.
the Typhoon established itself in new roles such as night-time intruder and a long range fighter. From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs; from late 1943 ground attack rockets were added to the Typhoon's armoury. Using these two weapons the Typhoon became one of the WWll most successful ground attack aircraft.
Flight Lieutenant Ken Trott flew Typhoons with 197 Squadron and recalled:
"Rather a large aircraft shall we say, for a single-engine fighter. Terrific power. I liked it from the point of view of speed and being a very stable gun platform. You could come in on a target at 400 mph and the thing was as steady as a rock."
