Brief Synopsis
A military lawyer comes to question the status quo when he defends three men accused of cowardice.
In 1916, on the Western front during World War I, prolonged trench warfare between the French and the Germans breeds hopelessness among the Allied soldiers. To ensure himself a promotion, ambitious division commander Gen. Mireau accepts the proposition of his commanding officer, Gen. Broulard, that he take the difficult, if not impossible target of Ant Hill, a German stronghold. Broulard's subtle but convincing argument is prompted by his need to silence civilian criticism about the standoff. Mireau then tours the trenches delivering false hope and informing Col. Dax, a former criminal lawyer and commander of three regiments on the front line, that his regiment must take Ant Hill despite knowing that he will lose over half his men. When Mireau boasts that "France is depending on you," Dax replies under his breath that "patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." Mireau then threatens to furlough him from his men, forcing Dax to accept the assignment. That evening Dax sends Lt. Roget, Corp. Paris and Pvt. Lejeune on a reconnaissance patrol to Ant Hill. After crawling yards under wire and over muddy trenches, the three come within several hundred feet of the hill, where Roget sends Lejeune ahead to investigate a noise. When Lejeune fails to return immediately, a panicky Roget throws a grenade at the hill and darts back to the regiment. Paris runs to the hill to save his friend but finds Lejeune has been burnt alive by the grenade. Returning to camp, Paris accuses Roget of murdering one of his own men, but Roget caustically reminds him that no one will believe the word of a corporal over that of a lieutenant. Later that night, after Dax prepares his men to take Ant Hill the next morning, the soldiers discuss the likelihood of surviving, admitting that they fear pain more than actual death. Early the next morning, Dax orders his men out of the trenches and onto the battlefield using his whistle. As Dax presses ahead, his men fall to the left and right of him under heavy enemy fire until he realizes that the second force, Company B, has not taken to the battlefield. Returning to the trenches, Dax finds that his men have fallen back and a cowering Roget has failed to order Company B into action, claiming that the attack is already lost. Meanwhile, Mireau, realizing the battle is lost, orders his troops to open fire on the men in the trenches. When artillery commander Capt. Pelletier refuses to obey, insisting that the order must be in writing, Mireau threatens to arrest him and states that if the troops will not "face German bullets, they'll face French ones." The next day at the headquarters, Mireau accuses Dax of cowardice in the face of the enemy and calls for one hundred of his men to be court-martialed and executed. When Dax snidely offers that they shoot the entire regiment or, better yet, shoot him, Broulard diplomatically suggests that each company commander select one man to stand trial. Powerless to stop his superiors, Dax requests that he be allowed to act as defense counsel for his men. Within hours the three men have been chosen and imprisoned in a cell, where Dax learns why they were chosen: Roget named Paris because he witnessed Roget throwing the grenade at Lejeune, Pvt. Arnaud was chosen by chance and Pvt. Ferol attributes his fate to being a social misfit. At the informal trial held at French headquarters in a lavish chateau, the judges refuse to read the full indictment against the men or have any transcription taken of the trial, despite Dax's protests. The first to testify, Ferol admits that he retreated, but when Dax questions him further, Ferol reveals that he made the decision when he realized he was facing the enemy with only one other soldier alive. When Dax reads Arnaud's citation of merit and bravery for other battles, the court dismisses the evidence as immaterial. While on the stand, Paris admits that he did not leave the trenches because he had been knocked unconscious, but the court insinuates that without witnesses, Paris could be lying. After the prosecutor makes his closing statements accusing the men of creating "a stain on the honor of France," Dax is outraged by the illegal proceedings and warns the court that the crime they commit in finding these men guilty without a proper trial will stain their reputations. The men are returned to their cell where, soon after, a priest announces their guilty verdict and tries to prepare them for their execution by firing squad set for the next morning. When the priest asks Arnaud for his confession, the drunken soldier accuses him of sanctimony and lunges to hit him. Paris stops Arnaud with a punch that throws the soldier into a brick wall, resulting in a near-fatal head injury. Meanwhile, Dax orders the cowardly Roget to be in charge of the firing squad and then goes to Broulard with written testimony from several soldiers regarding Mireau's orders to fire on his own men during the Ant Hill attack, hoping that the general will change the court's verdict. However, the next morning the execution proceeds on schedule. While walking to the firing posts between two long lines of their own comrades, Paris manages to keep his composure and bravery to ensure that his wife and children will have fond memories of him, while Ferol breaks down, sobbing in the priest's arms. Arnaud, who is carried on a stretcher, has his cheeks pinched so that he is conscious as the squad takes aim. Forced to ask the men if they want a blindfold, Roget approaches Paris and apologizes only seconds before all three are shot. Later that night, after Dax is called into Broulard's quarters, the general informs Mireau that Dax has presented him with sworn statements that Mireau ordered firing on his own men. Broulard casually mentions that an inquiry will be necessary to clear Mireau, but all three men realize this will end Mireau's career. After Mireau self-righteously reminds the men that he is a soldier and storms out, Broulard calls Dax his "boy" and offers him Mireau's job. Incensed by his duplicity, Dax calls Broulard a "degenerate, sadistic old man," prompting the general to suggest Dax suffers from sentimentality. Once outside, Dax is drawn by the sound of his men's applause for a German female prisoner who is being forced to sing for them. As the sobbing woman sings a folk song, the soldiers begin to hum along to the familiar melody. Dax must order his men to return to the front immediately, but allows them a few sobering moments as they recognize their humanity in the song as a respite from the war's brutality.

Hoang, a university professor and political blogger who wrote under the penname Phan Kien Quoc, was sentenced by the Ho Chi Minh City's People's Court to three years in prison and another three years of house arrest for "activities aimed at overthrowing the government," according to local and international news reports.
"Like the other jailed bloggers in Vietnam, Pham Minh Hoang never should have been charged or detained in the first place," said Shawn Crispin, CPJ senior Southeast Asia representative. "How much longer can Vietnamese authorities jail innocent bloggers for expressing their views and still maintain legitimacy among an upwardly mobile population starved for independent news?"
The subversion charges against Hoang initially referred to 29 of his blog entries, which included postings on corruption, environmental degradation, and perceived government failures to protect the country's territorial sovereignty from Chinese expansionism, according to Viet Tan, an exiled pro-democracy party that the government considers a terrorist organization. But Hoang's lawyer, Tran Vu Hai, said 33 different articles were cited by prosecutors as threatening national security, according to The Associated Press. The journalist was also convicted for having membership in Viet Tan. He plans on appealing the verdict, news reports said.
The political blogger and pro-democracy activist was first detained on August 13 last year and charged under Article 79 of the penal code, which covers charges related to subversion against the state. The time he spent in pre-trial detention will count against his three-year prison sentence, news reports said.
The journalist's harsh sentencing comes amid an intensifying crackdown on dissent in Vietnam in which a number of political activists have been threatened or detained. On August 2, a Vietnamese court denied the appeal of prominent dissident and legal expert Cu Huy Ha Vu, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for charges related to propagandizing against the state.
CPJ research shows that at least three other political bloggers--Nguyen Van Hai, Pham Thanh Nghien, and Phan Thanh Hai--are currently imprisoned in Vietnam. A new executive decree issued on January 6 that came into force in February gave authorities greater powers to penalize journalists, editors, and bloggers who report on issues deemed sensitive to national security.

Oakley, Oh My!
Forged in the fires of... errr... made from a block of solid carbon fiber, the C Six (a reference to carbon's place in the periodic table) is "the most technically innovative sunglass ever created." Oakley partnered with F1 racecar-builders Crosby Composites of London, known for crafting the best carbon fiber around. For each pair, five-axis Computer Numeric Control machines use diamond-tipped milling heads to shape a 40-layer-thick brick of carbon fiber composite, a tooling process that takes more than 24 hours.
Running On Empty
We've seen watches inspired by classic automotive gauges before, but nothing so literal as this Chotovelli. Designed in Torino, theTwin Spark's attractive face is a direct reproduction of an iconic Alfa Romeo fuel gauge. Maybe Alfa will come to the U.S. this year. Maybe they won't. Either way, you can have at least this little piece to tide you over until they do.
Hottie Ducati
With 180 hp standard and 186 hp with the optional race kit, the Ducati 1198 R Corse is not so much a crotch rocket as a crotch weapon of mass destruction. It's a super-light, super-fast, super-duper version of the standard Corse, though standard is a relative term when it comes to Ducati. Our two-wheeled cousins certainly are a crazy bunch, aren't they?
Originally a one-off model, Audi's initial foosball table was more a design study than something the company planned to sell. Kind of a "let's see what Audi elements we can transfer to everyday household items." Then there was such a response from fans that Audi graciously decided to manufacture (a few) more. Audi/foosball fanatics, hop to it. Only 20 will be made, and they won't be cheap.

ROYERSFORD – With underclassmen filling out a good portion of his lineup this spring, Bruce Brobst is still getting to know who's who and who can do what.
But the veteran Spring-Ford coach sure learned a thing or two about his personnel Wednesday afternoon.
First and foremost, senior Tyler Eckman – not among the gang of newcomers, of course – is as a reliable as ever on the mound, and sophomore third baseman Connor Klemann is capable of handling himself rather well in pressure situations.
The two played major roles in Wednesday afternoon's extra-inning, 3-2 win over Boyertown –in an early (and quite chilly) Pioneer Athletic Conference feature between last year's league finalists at Ram Stadium.
The right-handed Eckman threw all eight innings, allowing just two singles – both in the third inning – walked two and struck out three … and needed just 105 pitches to finish the affair. He also handled five shots back to the mound flawlessly, and contributed at the plate as well with a couple of basehits, including an RBI single.
But it was Klemann, in just his second start for the Rams, who came up big in the clutch.
After battling the heralded North Carolina-bound A.J. Bogucki to even terms through five innings only to get blanked the next two by reliever Tyler Bauman for two more, the Rams had one out and nobody on in the bottom of the eighth. Then R.J. Sheldon made up for fanning while attempting to bunt up a runner an inning earlier with a double to left-center. Three pitches later, Klemann lined a single to right-center to bring Sheldon across with the decisive run.
'Tyler pitched well and Klemann, well, he's a player,' Brobst said after Rams improved to 2-0 in the league and overall. 'This was a nice, nice win.'
That it was, especially considering how young the Rams are and how they responded against an imposing Bogucki and the defending champion Bears (2-1).
Though they committed four errors, one on a runner's interference call that helped the guests in their two-hit, two-run third inning, the Rams showed considerable composure in the field and at the plate. Just enough, as a matter of fact, to erase the 2-0 deficit immediately with a two-spot of their own in the bottom half of the third. Then they played defense to help Eckman set down 13 straight Boyertown batters, or the final 18 if not for a strikeout-passed ball and one-out, eighth-inning infield bobble.
'Obviously Bogucki is tough,' Brobst said of the Bears' ace, who had an estimated 15 professional scouts watching him Wednesday. 'We're young and inexperienced, but I'm pleased with their focus. You don't often have the opportunity to see, let alone play, against a pitcher of that caliber, so to see how our kids responded to that situation…and to see how they responded after we gave up those two runs by coming right back with two to tie it was great.'
Boyertown head coach Todd Moyer wasn't as disappointed in the loss as much as he was the lack of execution.
'Our kids battled, but no way we should've let (Eckman) finish this game,' Moyer said. 'We didn't make him work hard enough. As hitters we have to do a better job extending the counts and rolling the ball.
'Other than that we played pretty well. We even made some nice defensive plays out there, especially (Wesley) Fox out there at shortstop.'
Boyertown went in front 2-0 when Tony Casper led off the third with a single and was awarded second on runner's interference as he rounded the first-base bag. An out later, Brandon Griesemer brought Casper around on a single, then stole second and third – easing home on the tail end of that second steal as a result of an errant throw.
Spring-Ford answered with back-to-back, one-out singles by Zack Zoller and Nick Fuhrmeister. Ryan Cass' reached when the Bears' relay from second to first to complete a double play sailed wild enabling Zoller to score. Then, following a walk to David Gulati, Eckman evened it up at 2-2 with a single through the hole on the right side.
While the Bears could muster any offense against Eckman, the Rams had quite a few chances to break the stalemate against Bogucki – who threw 97 pitches in five innings – and Bauman. But they stranded runners in scoring position in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings.
They ended the frustration in the eighth.
'It was a 2-1 count, so I was definitely looking for a strike,' Klemann said. 'I knew (Bauman) didn't have time to mess around. I'm not used to being in that situation, but I was pretty locked in at that point. Sheldon hitting the double was real big, though. Hitting is contagious, and when (Sheldon) got the double it gave me a lot of confidence up there.
'So this was definitely a big win for us. A nice early (season) win.'
NOTES Bogucki, a first-team All-Pioneer Athletic Conference selection last year, gave up three hits, walked three and fanned five in five innings. … Fuhrmeister and Eckman, who has signed to play at East Stroudsburg next year, were the lone two batters with multiple-hit afternoons. … Rams have committed seven errors in their two games thus far.

Repeat Prescription Telephone Ordering Service - POD
We are now offering a new telephone ordering service for repeat prescriptions in conjunction with the CCG Medicines Management team. Contact 0808 1647678 to order.
Medicine Shortages
As a surgery, we are working closely with the Clinical Commissioning Groups Medicine Management team and local Chemists, to try to ensure that we are aware of any drug shortages, and how we can minimise disruption to our patients of this nationwide problem.
However, we are not responsible for what a Chemist orders or stocks, and our GPs have had their own workload increased as they are regularly asked to change prescribed drugs.
We would ask that all patients are understanding with the surgery staff and local pharmacists that are not able to provide any further information at this time.
Parking at Ticehurst Surgery
Patients should only park in Surgery allocated spaces. It is noted that a parking warden is often in attendance now. There is plenty of parking across the lane in the car park.
The surgery is not liable for parking fines if you are parked out of the surgery allocated spaces.
Improved Access
We are excited to announce that we have joined with other local practices and are now offering evening appointments from 6.30pm - 8.00pm and on Saturday mornings on a rotational basis. Our rota will mean one evening per week and 1 in 5 Saturday mornings we will offer clinics here at Wadhurst with other neighbouring practices providing clinics on the other days. We hope this will assist patients who are unable to access the Surgery during normal hours. Please contact Reception to book an improved access slot.
GP Sessions
Please note due to a growing number of GPs working part time at Wadhurst Medical Group, please be aware that you may be offered an appointment with another GP other than your registered GP. If you wish to see a specific GP, we would advise Patients that there can sometimes be a wait due to work patterns.
Reception Changes
Please note our Receptionists will now be asking patients for a brief outline of your problem when you ring to book an appointment. This new way of working is about offering you the choice to see more appropriate professionals in the practice team or even somewhere else. If they can deal with the problem directly, it will often be quicker and means you may not need to see the GP at all.
As of 1st April 2019, we are updating our fees in line with the British Medical Association guidance. We will also be operating a no-fee, no-release policy meaning that documents will need to be paid for before they are collected. Medicals will also need to be paid for by 5 days prior to the appointment. We hope this will cut down on the wasted GP and Secretarial time on documents that are not collected and also cut down on the large number of non-payers.
Patient Participation Group
We are looking for patients who would be interested in contributing to the continuous improvement of services and quality of care. If you are interested, please ask reception for a form.
Repeat Prescription Forms
Please leave completed forms in the black box in the surgery lobby. It will take 48 hours to allow us to process repeat prescriptions.
Travel Clinic
Unfortunately we are only able to offer a limited travel vaccine service at the surgery. This is only for those vaccines available through the NHS. There are local travel clinics available who will be able to advise and help you with all your requirements for your travel abroad.
NHS 111 is a service that's been introduced to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. You can call 111 when you need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency. NHS 111 is a fast and easy way to get the right help, whatever the time.
NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.
You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation.

For less urgent health needs, contact your GP or local pharmacist in the usual way.
If a health professional has given you a specific phone number to call when you are concerned about your condition, continue to use that number.
For immediate, life-threatening emergencies, continue to call 999.
The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses. They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you straightaway to the local service that can help you best. That could be A&E, an out-of-hours doctor, an urgent care centre or a walk-in centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist or a late-opening chemist.
Where possible, the NHS 111 team will book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to.
If NHS 111 advisers think you need an ambulance, they will immediately arrange for one to be sent to you.
Calls to 111 are recorded. All calls and the records created are maintained securely, and will only be shared with others directly involved with your care.

Crossing Obstacles Alone
You are certain to have to cross many types of obstacles when you are in the field. The method of crossing is different depending on whether you are alone or with a companion.
If you are alone, follow these steps to safely cross an obstacle:
Step 1:
Unload your firearm and leave the action open
Step 2:
Carefully place your firearm on the ground under the obstacle, with the muzzle pointing in the direction away from you. Keep the muzzle and action away from mud and debris.
Step 3:
Cross the obstacle far enough from the firearm so that if you fall, you won't fall on the firearm. Retrieve the firearm by approaching the firearm's stock end, not the muzzle end.
Always unload a firearm before crossing any obstacle. Do not lean a firearm against the fence or obstacle while you are crossing it.

Types and Signs of ADD/ Attention Deficit Disorder
In several cases, it's assumed that Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD is a condition that affects kids between infancy and adolescent years. Truth is, the indications or symptoms of the condition continue in adulthood. If they are left untreated, they can hold back a person in completion of their regular activities and work along with the negative impact in their relationship.
Although Attention Deficit Disorder can affect adult and young kids, the symptoms will depend considerably. For example, instead of hyperactivity factor that usually present in kids, adult can experience restlessness. Another issue that adults have which kids don't is that they'll have difficulties in terms of employment and relationships. What is essential is that you just not have to learn how to identify Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms; you also have to learn how to manage.
Types of Attention Deficit Disorder/ ADHD
ADD symptoms are classified in 3 subcategories of disorder:
- Combined Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD – it is the commonest form of disorder and it involves all kinds of symptoms
- Hyperactive – Impulsive Attention Deficit Disorder/ ADHD – it is described by hyperactivity without inattentiveness factors
- Inattentive Attention Deficit Disorder/ ADHD – this kind was formerly diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder and is described by impaired attentions as well as the inability to stay in focus
For the condition to be diagnosed, few of impairment that causes ADD symptoms should be present all the time, when the kid reached 7 years of age. In addition to that, the impairment should be present in different setting. For instance, an individual needs to experience the impairment at work or school and of course at home. Lastly, there needs must be definite evidence which Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms are snooping with the ability to function well at home, at schools and in the society.
Possible Symptoms and Signs of Attention Deficit Disorder
If you believe that your child has developed Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, you may like to ask your self the following questions to identify of these is really Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms.
Is the kid:
- Speaking or blurting out of turn
- Acting out just before they consider the consequence of their action

High-Performance Nesting
From 2006 to 2007, MPE Inc., Milwaukee, WI (with a second plant in Mexico), saw sales of its medical carts and tables, and similar fabricated-metal products and assemblies climb by nearly 10 percent. Impressive enough, but I really sat up and took notice when I learned that over that same time period its material costs dropped by $300,000.
Specifically, material utilization on MPE's combination turret/laser machines has jumped from 50 percent to 85 percent, and on stand-alone laser-cutting machines from 60 percent to as high as 95 percent. The secret to success: the switch from static nesting on separate software packages for its various machine models, to dynamic nesting with Jetcam software.
Just in Time Enters Another Dimension
MPE balances two types of customers and orders—it serves as a one-stop shop for OEMs looking for fabricating and assembly operations, and also as a job-shop supplier of parts. The medical industry dominates, comprising 70 to 80 percent of its load, although that percentage has been shrinking in recent years as the firm seeks to diversify. Diversification has brought customers such as electronic and telecommunication OEMs.
While Grundel and his fellow associates are sleeping better these days due to more efficient nesting, there are a few challenges that keep their heads spinning.
In turn, MPE's average order quantity for medical carts, tables and the like has shrunk to a lean 20 to 50, down from average order quantities of several hundred just a few years ago. Here's where manufacturing speed and the firm's push toward quick-response manufacturing (QRM) enters the equation—both initiatives fueled in part by Jetcam.
"We started our QRM journey in August 2013," says Grundel, "in an effort to ensure jobs move through the shop consistently, without delay. We want to eliminate idle time so that when a job comes in, we enter the order, set it up and release it to the shop, all within a day or two."
Cross-Functional QRM Team
MPE created a cross-functional QRM team that includes two that can use Jetcam to produce sheet nests and send them to the floor for processing. Overall the company employs a dozen associates trained to use the software.
Processing occurs at any of six CNC machines —three Mitsubishi laser-cutting machines and three Amada punch-laser combination machines —the newest of which is an Amada EMLK punch-laser combo added in 2011. The industrial engineers at the Milwaukee headquarters also develop tooled-up part files for the firm's laser-cutting and turret-punch presses at its Mexican plant in Apodaca, Nuevo Leon.
Industrial engineers at MPE's Milwaukee headquarters facility develop tooled-up part profiles for all of the firm's CNC machines, including those at its Mexican plant, using Jetcam Expert Premium software.
QRM not only pays dividends within the walls of MPE; its customers see the difference as well. Example: In February 2013, the firm earned Global Supplier of the Year status for 2012 by its customer Draeger Corp., selected from a pool of 3000 global vendors. Recognition came due to MPE's "ability to take complexity out of the supply chain and manufacturing processes along with its robust quality system and sound processes," said Adam Nesbitt, Draeger director of strategic sourcing.
Faster, and Easier to Learn
MPE is a good case study in dynamic nesting—combining parts from more than one job, of like material type and thickness, onto shared sheet nests. This practice, compared to static nesting of only one part design onto a sheet, contributes as much as anything else to improved material utilization, and to fewer concerns about inventory management.
"Before we brought in Jetcam (supplied by reseller NestOne Solutions, Kansas City, MO)," recalls Grundel, "we were using static nesting. Our production team would take the part designs generated by our engineering group and fit as many of the parts onto a sheet as possible—regardless of actual order quantity. So, we'd either have to inventory leftovers or ask our customers to take them. Now, the production team using dynamic nesting with Jetcam can combine parts from multiple jobs and more efficiently use the material."
The MPE engineering team "tools-up" each individual piece part, Grundel says, because "we have a lot of custom turret-press tools in our inventory specially designed for our customers' unique part features. These include special shapes, embosses, forming features, lances and the like. We want to ensure that the parts are processed the same every time they run; we don't want to leave that process design to chance."
Once the process plan for contouring the parts (typically done by laser cutting) and punching interior part features is complete, the program is released to the production team for nesting. Here's where the user friendliness of Jetcam really comes into play. MPE employs three floating seats of the software, shared by 12 users trained to use it—some for part programming only, others for programming and nesting. The QRM team includes two Jetcam users.
"While programming with our previous software required numerous time-consuming steps and a lot of button-pushing for every part program and nest, over several hours, with Jetcam we can get programs done in 15 to 30 min.," Grundel says. "That programming efficiency makes it easier for us to train our people to use the software, and allows us to afford the luxury of having so many employees capable of using it. And, since we can create new programs in just a fraction of the time it used to take, our employees, particularly those in our industrial-engineering group, are freed up to perform other value-added tasks."
Software Evolution
All manufacturing software products evolve over time, often based on user recommendations, and Jetcam is no exception. One such recommendation from Grundel and his team, provided via NestOne, involved the spacing of parts on a nest to accommodate the width of the punching tool.
"Previously, if a programmer didn't accurately account for tool width when laying out a sheet nest, parts potentially could overlap," says Grundel. "Now, the software captures data related to the size of the tool being used to create part features, and automatically makes the required adjustments to part spacing."
As another example of MPE feedback to NestOne resulting in a Jetcam software update, Grundel again stresses the extraordinary number of special tools the firm inventories for punching unique part features. "Users can instruct Jetcam to automatically assign specific tools to specific tasks—unique part features, for example. Before, that function only worked with standard tools, so if we wanted to assign our custom tools to specific part features, we had to do that manually. Based on our feedback to NestOne, Jetcam updated the software so that it now automatically clears a any tool setup it might develop to create a part and reassigns one or more of our special tools to do the work, based on our programmed preferences."
Last but not least, Grundel describes another MPE-generated idea implemented by Jetcam to improve programming efficiency."We asked their programmers to make it easier to tool-up the same parts to run on multiple machines," he says, "to give us more flexibility without having to apply tools twice, for two different punching machines. In response, they added a feature that allows us to copy the tools used in one machine program over to the program developed for a second machine—a huge timesaver." MF

Stroll like a kimono-clad samurai of a bygone era in the cool, dappled sunlight of Bamboo Street, where towering bamboo forests and stone walls hide sheltered gardens and silent neighbourhoods. Your money-saving Kyoto vacation rental home, condo, apartment, townhouse, or traditional machiya puts you in the heart of ancient Japan's former imperial capitol. Kyoto is still a religious centre, with over 1,600 temples and scores of Shinto shrines, gardens, historic buildings, and museums. Kyoto's riverside cherry trees blossoming in spring, colorful autumn leaves, and winter snows have inspired artists and haiku writers for centuries.
Besides money-savings compared to luxury hotels, your Kyoto vacation rental can bring you closer to a traditional Japanese life style if you opt for tatami mats, rice paper doors, futons, soaking in cedar baths, and meditative gardens. Though modern comforts like beds, showers, flat screen TVs, and computers are equally available. Enlist a vacation rental host to help fine-tune your sightseeing itinerary of temples, teahouses, theatres, shrines, gardens, shops, and museums. The money-savings from a Kyoto vacation rental can help pay for tea ceremonies, Geisha district entertainment, Kabuki at Minamiza Theatre, antiques, fabrics, ceramics, handicrafts, sake, sushi, and noodle house meals.
Explore the roots of modern Japan at the Kyoto Archaeological Museum. Japan's ancient power struggles are exemplified by the Tokugawa shogun's Kyoto residence, Nijo-jo Castle, and the emperor's Kyoto Gosho Imperial Palace in nearby Imperial Park. Learn about traditional Japanese ceramics at the Raku Museum. Travel in time to 1940-1970, the pre-plastic Japanese toy robot era, at the Tin Toy Museum. Let the kids gorge on manga comics at the Kyoto International Manga Museum.
Take the kids to Iwatayama Monkey Park in Nishikyo-ku. Kyoto Botanical Garden has a bonsai exhibit, bamboo garden, cherry trees, irises, camellias, hydrangea, and peonies. The garden of rocks, raked sand, and dwarf trees at Konchi-in Temple is a masterpiece dating to 1627. Arashiyama District's Tenryu-ji Temple zen garden, laid out in the 1300s by Muso Soseki, was the first designed for meditation rather than strolling. Ryoan-ji Temple's stone "garden of emptiness," laid out in 1499 and viewed from above like a framed painting, is world-renowned as a device to aid meditation.
Pontocho's riverside theatre and geisha district is near the Nishikoji-dori food and vegetable arcade. The nearby Kawaramachi shopping district has local craftsmen specializing in everything from dolls and kimonos to paper umbrellas and painted fans. Gion, the old geisha and entertainment district across the Kamo River from Pontocho, still has performance theatres and cha-ya (teahouses). The adjacent Eastern Mountain District of Higashiyama-ku has a historic walking route from the cliff-top Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Gion's Yasaka-jinja Shrine.

Would L.A. Trade Kemp?
Tony Jackson of ESPN L.A. had a chat yesterday afternoon. I tried to get in a couple of questions but they never went in. I guess my questions suck. Or maybe Jackson just wanted to talk about Kemp. {linked here}
Earl: do you think its in the Dodgers' best interest to trade Billz if they can get back a frontline starter off another team?
Jackson: No, I don't think you can get a frontline starting pitcher for Billingsley at this point. I think to do that, the Dodgers would have to part with one of their core players. Matt Kemp has the most value right now because he is locked up contractually through next season. It wouldn't completely shock me -- it would surprise me, but not shock me -- if Kemp is the piece the Dodgers use to get a frontline starter at or near the trading deadline.
Okay, that doesn't surprise me. If you want a frontline pitcher, you have to give up something big. I understand that.
More questions:
Again from Earl: Wow, if Kemp gets traded for anyone, I would be bummed.Do you feel that would be a big mistake for the Dodgers to trade Kemp for a frontline starter, despite what Colleti thinks about him?I think Colleti exaggerated the issues of Kemp, personally.
Jackson: Earl, I have it on good authority (NOT from Colletti, from others) that if anything, Ned UNDERSTATED the issues with Kemp. This kid is really full of himself, to the point that it is becoming an issue in the clubhouse. I'm not saying they WILL trade him. I still think there is less than a 50-percent chance that they will. I'm just saying that if they do trade one of their core young players, he probably will be the one, not only because of these issues but also because he would have the most value.
Say what? Kemp is full of himself? He's disturbing the clubhouse? Wow, I did not know. Kemp is a cancer! Get him out now!
More on the Earl/Jackson chat:
Earl: Wow, Tony, didn't know that about Kemp. I just don't think you can afford to let a talent like his go. Do you think its just a simple case of immaturity?I mean a lot of ball players start out cocky, but mature and settle down with age. Kemp could be no different.
Jackson: well, if it's immaturity, he has had plenty of time to outgrow it. Based on what I'm told, he hasn't outgrown it yet. None of this is terribly surprising, just judging from the way he handles himself with the media. He is difficult to deal with, and I'm told that isn't limited to the media.
Based on what you've been told? Why do you need someone to tell you? You're there in the clubhouse. You see him. You can tell if someone is a jerk or not. What do you mean the way he handles himself with the media? I've seen him do plenty of interviews and he's always smiling and answering the questions politely. I guess Kemp doesn't like Jackson. Is that the problem?
I like Jackson. I think he's a good reporter and always has good stories but I feel Jackson is just upset with Kemp. Wouldn't someone else in the media report this if Kemp was causing trouble in the clubhouse?
One final thought... I can care less if Kemp is cocky. I want them to think they are the best. If that means he's cocky, so be it! You don't think Ethier is a bit cocky right now? You bet.

Hey guys, don't you think Tony Jackson has been more critical of the Dodgers since he moved to ESPN?
I don't know what trouble Kemp is causing in the clubhouse. I'm positive someone else would've reported this.
- May 13, 2010 at 3:31 PM
- Roberto Baly said...
@ Fernando - Not really. I'd rather have someone that can report both sides. Even if it's critical. I just don't understand his statements on Kemp. What trouble is he causing?
- May 13, 2010 at 3:33 PM

Jackson does a terrific job in giving us the news. What sucks is that the Dodgers don't have a big media presence like the Yankees. Or else we would know what's going or if it's true that Kemp has issues in the clubhouse

Hell no, Matt can't go. Kemp is a sweetheart. I can't believe he would be disturbing the clubhouse. Colletti better watch his butt, because I'll go after it with a pitchfork.

@ Romy - Pitchfork? haha that's funny :)

You bring up a good point Roberto about wanting to know what is really going on. In that book True Blue, it had some behind the scenes stuff from decades ago that was never know. At the Vin Scully charity interview with John Wooden, Scully said if all the facts of the Piazza trade were known it would make sense. We may not know for a long time what is really going on.
Even though it appeared to be handled badly, I didn't think Colletti trashed Kemp by accident or a slip of the tongue. I suspect it was deliberate and planned.
I did think it was odd that at the Dodgers 80s luncheon, when Kirk Gibson spoke he said he worked out in the same place as Kemp and talked to him and it sounded like he was sort of putting Kemp down about a lot of stuff. It was vague but it did seem odd. I've been meaning to post the video I shot so you can see for yourself.
On what I know, I hope they don't trade Kemp. He's not expensive now and he has such a great upside and pitchers are high risk players.
- May 13, 2010 at 4:08 PM

@ Steve - Really!? I did not go to that luncheon. I did go to the 90's luncheon. Vin Scully came out as a surprise. That was a while ago, Summer 2008? Would like to see the video Steve :)

I know i'm chiming in a bit late on this but i did read an article a couple of years ago (early 2007) that Matt Kemp was trade-bait primarily because of his attitude. There was a coach who remained unnamed in the article who said that Kemp was un-coachable and that it posed an issue in for their management style.
As it would turn out, Matt Kemp showed great offensive potential that year and all this talk of him being un-coachable and trade-bait just faded away.
I'm sure all this is just being hashed up right now because of the Colletti issue and the teams woes. I'm a huge MK fan i even bought a BISON t-shirt and i would be upset if they traded him. But assuming that the story does bare some merit, what do you do with a star player who is under-performing,not being a team-player, and un-coachable?
- May 13, 2010 at 5:00 PM
- bbcardz said...
I agree with Romy S. If I'm not mistaken, Matt has done more for the Dodgers off the field than say, Manny. Matt was there to support James Loney's bowling event for the Dodgers Dream foundation and he was promoting the Dodgers at Olvera Street for the Dodgers Caravan back in February. Where was Manny (or Ned)?

Kemp is a good guy. This is just B.S. I wouldn't blame Kemp if he wants out now.

- Roberto Baly said...
@ Eric - Yeah I do remember that article. I'm not sure if those things are true this season. I don't know what to think. It's hard for me to believe that he's not a team player. He looks like he's having fun out in the field and I seem talking with his teammates all the time. We'll see what happens...

Kemp is literally the nicest athlete I've ever met.
Great guy.
Tony Jackson can get bent.

Can they trade Tony Jackson?
- May 14, 2010 at 12:05 AM

Kemp being a jerk seems so odd to me. Maybe the Dodgers organization is slanting it this way so that, when Matt is traded, they can use the line of "Oh, but Matt was a grade A jerk so it's okay!" to appease the Dodgers fans?
I'm an Indians fan too and trust me, they did this garbage with Cliff Lee, Victor Martinez and others *right* before they traded them; painting them in bad lights. They're doing the same thing this year with Grady Sizemore. It's almost too obvious.
I just can't buy the Matt ego trip thing. I think he *can* be a bit cocky, but not overboard. I don't think a person like Casey Blake, whom he seems close with, would put up with any ego garbage. Blake always seemed to me to be a humble and quiet guy who doesn't take lightly to jerks.

@SingleDaddyof2 Thank you for agreeing with me. I'll grab an extra pitchfork and we can go after Colletti's butt together. LOL

It's Jersey Shore vs. Governor Chris Christie take two, as the New Jersey Governor recently blocked a $420,000 tax credit that was promised to the production company behind the MTV hit show.
Gov. Christie, an outspoken critic of the Jersey Shore, did not mince his words or feelings in explaining why he vetoed the credit. He stated that he was "duty-bound" to stop taxpayer money from going to "a project which does nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the state and its citizens."
While his reasons seem fair enough, Gov. Christie, who allowed tax credits for other TV shows and films to go forward, is now facing criticism from some who feel he went above and beyond by blocking this tax credit. A piece written by the NYDailyNews criticizes Christie for doing the same thing he attacks the show for — which is playing to the cheap seats.
In other Shore news, Deena Cortese is now speaking out following the airing of the kiss seen around the world. One half member of 'Team Meatballs' explained her never-ending makeout session with Snooki during an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Deena stated, "Me and [Snooki] make out when we're drunk sometimes, it happens! Team meatballs! Meatball power! It was kind of stupid. The roommates were all being so lame and judgmental when they have seen it happen before! It was like, 'why are you surprised?'"
Deena went on to add that another explanation for the makeout session was also the lack of guys in Italy. "I felt very lonely in Italy. A lot of them had boyfriends and I was like the single girl having a good time," said Deena. "It was hard to find guys out there because some of them didn't speak English, some of them hooked up with their sisters! It was hard to communicate."
And speaking of Snooki, she is also getting media attention after she was pictured above over the weekend during an event in Atlantic City. Many media outlets credited her with a drastic weight loss (not really seeing this) to which she credited the Zantrex weight loss pill. She has an endorsement deal with them. Snooki tweeted, "Glad to hear reports that say I look good =) but it's not because of HCG! Thanks @Zantrex!"
Moving on to tonight's all new episode of the Jersey Shore. On the 9th episode this season titled "Three men and a Snooki," Snooki is devastated over her big fight with Jionni, and decides to take a break from the relationship while also turning to drinking. Mike thinks it's finally his chance to win her over, but it's someone else who ends up comforting her. Meanwhile, Deena has a pregnancy scare.
The episode airs tonight on MTV at 10/9c.
And as for Snooki and boyfriend Jionniiiiii, they are still together! The Snooks tweeted the below photo of the two just hours ago with the caption "Always."

Besides being a member of the Philharmonia section – a position he has held since 1979 – he is head of wind, brass and percussion at the world renowned Purcell School. He is a diploma examiner for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and co-devised their timpani, snare drum and tuned percussion examination syllabus.
From 1986–2007 he was head of the percussion faculty at the Royal College of Music. He creates and presents numerous concerts aimed at younger audiences and his unique Elastic Band – a micro-orchestra of 15 musicians – is in great demand throughout the UK and abroad. His themed family concerts for the Philharmonia are a runaway success and are a concept he uses with MusicQuest, Britten Sinfonia, Southbank Sinfonia and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. He also directs Alberts Band, an educational chamber group resident at the Royal Albert Hall.

This was not a one-off. In March this year GE provided almost $200 million to Steve and Barry's.
That loan is already rumoured to be default - and Mish - bless him - has pointed out just how much of a Ponzi scheme Steve and Barry's turns out to be.
Mish concludes by saying:
If it seems like GE trades like a finance company, it's because GE is a finance company (masquerading as a conglomerate).In this case Mish is probably right. The two press releases (Kinney Drugs, Steve and Barry's) have the same contacts:
You got to wonder about an asset backed (which I think means stock backed) loan for $200 million which goes bad in four months.Jeff Wilson
+1 203 229 1887
email@example.com Reynolds
+1 203 229 5717
+1 203 837 0699(mobile)
The first question for Messers Wilson and Reynolds is what GE is going to do with $200 million of cheap apparel.
The second question: why does this business continue to exist - and who gets fired?
Mish's general assertion however - that GE is a finance company masquerading as a conglomerate is wrong. They can turn Italian crap into electricity - and no finance company can do that.
They might have a worse time though turning Steve and Barry's old rags into cash.

Setting up dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
Dynamic DNS allows you to access your FRITZ!Box as well as applications and services in the home network for which you configured port sharing in the FRITZ!Box at a fixed domain name from the internet. This way you can easily access a NAS system or use Microsoft Remote Desktop for remote maintenance of a computer, for example, even if the FRITZ!Box's public IP address changes on a regular basis.
Note:You can also use the free AVM service MyFRITZ! for safe, convenient access to your FRITZ!Box and home network over the internet at any time.
Requirements / Restrictions
- Dynamic DNS is not available if the FRITZ!Box uses the internet connection of another router (Mesh Repeater / IP client). In this case, configure dynamic DNS in the other router.
- To use IPv4 internet access, the FRITZ!Box must obtain a public IPv4 address from the internet service provider.
- To use IPv6 internet access, the FRITZ!Box must obtain an IPv6 address from the internet service provider.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
Setting up dynamic DNS
- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Permit Access" in the "Internet" menu.
- Click on the "DynDNS" tab.
- Click the (Help) symbol on the top right.
- Configure the dynamic DNS domain name as described in the FRITZ!Box help.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Now the FRITZ!Box will transmit its current IP address to the dynamic DNS provider each time it connects to the internet so that the FRITZ!Box can always be contacted via its distinct dynamic DNS domain name.

"I wish my brother Rob was here" is a new release by Milo (known for his work with Nom De Rap and The Dilla-Gents). His first solo release, which was dedicated to one of his good friends Rob Espinosa who passed away this year, is very appealing if you like to sit back and jam to what can only be considered "a very different tune" in a pleasingly warm and Jello Brand Gelatin way; because Milo is to hip-hop what Dr. Cosby is to Jello… he brings the goodness.
What is extraordinary about Milo's approach to hip-hop is the use of what can only be described as an incredible grasp of the English language. True vocabulary describing interesting story like events that take you to the set, not profanity filled, egomaniacal garbage focusing on crime, and hedonism.
You can download the album for free at www.miloraps.com.

Senior Lecturer in Biology, Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra
What did two little-studied freshwater turtle species tell us about their fragile freshwater world?
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Nancy FitzSimmons travels the world studying the population genetics of turtles and crocodiles.
"The DNA contained within the cells of one individual is different to the DNA of every other individual, i.e., no two individuals' DNA will ever be the same," Dr. FitzSimmons reported in a University of Canberra research bulletin. "Different categories of DNA (called markers) are used to find different types of information. One such category is the mitochondrial DNA, which is particularly useful to distinguish between groups or populations of turtles. Because this mitochondrial DNA is passed on through the mother turtles only, it is a very good method to help understand family histories, relationships between turtles and identifying different stocks."
Dr. FitzSimmons said of a recent Earthwatch season: "At this point our focus is on doing good monitoring of the populations as cane toads begin their advance across the Kimberley: for the first time we were finding dead toads in Kununnurra. We were really fortunate to have two excellent turtle teams who helped us catch 662 turtles and collect data from them. We have also been fortunate to continue our work with indigenous ranger groups, and this year we were there for their first public presentation of their many projects, including our turtle work, which brought together people from the community and from the campground on a memorable occasion. We felt privileged to be a part of the good work they are doing."

EVE Online: Crucible launches November 29
EVE Online's next expansion, Crucible, will be available on November 29th, developer CCP has announced.
EVE Online's next expansion, Crucible, will be available on November 29th, developer CCP has announced. The free update will "turn up the heat" on space combat by adding over three dozen updated and improved features based on player feedback. Most importantly, the Crucible pack promises to improve graphics, tweak the interface, and offer greater balance and diversity to space battles.
According to CCP, "interior decorators have been contracted" to make new Station-themed Captain's Quarters for the Crucible update--an improvement over Incarna's Captain's Quarters, which were identical across all races. You'll also be able to switch between Ship Mode and Captain's Mode. Ship Mode will be enhanced with numerous graphical upgrades and visual enhancements.
Crucible also adds time dilation to the servers, which promises to reduce the performance impact of engagements that involve hundreds, if not thousands of ships. What does it do? Essentially, "time dilation slows down time so the server can keep up with what y'all are doing." The concept is quite difficult to wrap around, but CCP Veritas attempts to describe a hypothetical scenario:
Here's how I envision this working for a large engagement (say, 1600 or so). When the attacking fleet warps in, the server gets extremely overloaded - warp-in and other setup tasks like drone deployment are quite expensive - so the game clock gets dilated extremely, down to 5% of real time or something. As those tasks complete, the server gets ahead enough to safely creep the dilation factor up to around 30% of normal time, and the fight is properly joined. At this point, we're sitting with 1600 actively fighting, with their requests being acknowledged quickly and fairly, but everything just taking about 3x as long as usual. The players in the fleet can tell that's happening because many of the HUD elements are animating slowly and the explosions in space are slow-mo too. As more ships die/chicken out, the load of the fight eases up and at around 1200 engaged I'll guesstimate we're back up to around 60% of normal time. Maybe at this point one of the FCs realizes he's boned and calls the retreat. Jumping out is expensive as well, so the clock dilates back down far, to let's say 10%, while the fleet buggers off. With the fighting over and the losers bailed, there's very little load remaining on the server and it returns to 100% time.
Andrew Yoon posted a new article, EVE Online: Crucible launches November 29.

At least one of them (the caldari ship) is. Not sure about the other 3.
I have been keeping up on the devblogs and I still have one active account but tbh this release still seems like too little too late. Then again only recently they have shifted a lot of their reseources back to EvE dev so maybe the next expansion will be the real game changer.


text: 0:00 to 2:36--The "feel" of the music invokes nighttime in an Oriental (India?) setting. Perhaps an "establishing shot" of the locale Bond has just entered? 2:37 to 3:56--Shades of John Barry, for a "quiet" moment. A romance scene, perhaps? (The title is "Severine"--therefore...) 3:57 to end--Sounds like the build-up to an epic confrontation with the villain. Perhaps the sequence where we see the villain's evil plan being implimented.
