You won't believe what this artist's canvas is
Toilet art has been popular ever since Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" in 1917. Since then, artists have been taking the most private aspects of life to the next level, and this artist in Texas is no different. His chosen medium is toilet seats, and you won't believe the kind of art this man has produced over the years. Check out the video and prepare to be amazed!
What I streamed and really liked: "A Wrinkle
Andrew's streaming pick for this weekend is Disney's adaptation "A Wrinkle in Time." Meg Murry and her little brother, Charles Wallace, have been without their scientist father, Mr. Murry, for five years, ever since he discovered a new planet and used the concept known as a tesseract to travel there. Joined by Meg's classmate Calvin O'Keefe and guided by the three mysterious astral travelers known as Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, the children brave a dangerous journey to a planet that possesses all of the evil in the universe.
People who ignore science lead the Flat Earth move
The Flat Earth movement is comprised of people who believe that the Earth is shaped like a frisbee, humans have never been to the moon, and all footage from space is faked. Why do some people subscribe to this belief, and why is it ignoring science?
This robot can jump over stuff
Want to watch a video of a robot jumping over things? The Boston Dynamics robot is jumping over and climbing things, and while it may not seem that impressive, this robot is the future of dynamic robots. Why? Well, if you look closely, you can see that it is able to shift its weight to appropriately overcome obstacles. The robot uses computer vision to locate itself with respect to visual markers and hit the terrain accurately. It's come a long way from not being able to walk in a straight line.
Do Dogs Really Miss Us?
We would like to think that, when we leave for work, our dogs miss us. Yes, they get really excited when we return, but are they happy to see us or is it just excitement for the sake of being happy? Are they looking forward to that meal you're going to give them, or maybe the belly rubs they have been waiting for all day. But in reality, if someone else was to walk through that door at the end of the day, could you say that your dog wouldn't act the same?

Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple HomePod and others can connect to not just our smartphones but to many other smart devices around the house. Kim talks to Beth about how a smart speaker can help with daily tasks as well as how, with some minor upgrades, it can turn her home into smart home.
How to check your internet speed
Internet speed can be very important to all of us. It can be quite frustrating when we try to load a web page and it seems like its 1999 and we are using a dial-up modem. What about when we try to watch a video and it just keeps buffering and buffering. Well, there are ways to test your internet speed so you can find out just how bad it really is.

3 new online marketplaces better than Craigslist
Once upon a time, Craigslist was a great idea. Post classified ads for free! Buy and sell what you want without any hassles! Craigslist was easy and straightforward. You could throw up text and photos, then take them down whenever you wanted. You didn't even have to post your email address. Now, Craigslist is a ghost of its former self. As goes the internet, new marketplaces keep opening up, and I've been very pleased with many of these alternatives.
Best streaming service: Netflix vs. Vudu vs. Amazo

5 ways to slash your smartphone bills
Remember, a smartphone is a small computer, and computers are expensive. Even older-model phones can cost hundreds of dollars, never mind the $1,149 you'd have to pay for an iPhone X with 256GB, or the Samsung Galaxy S9, which costs upwards of $950. No matter the carrier, the freefall days of free and discounted phones are over, at least among mainstream providers. The pressure to own a smartphone is high, so how do you keep those expenses as low as possible?
Insider tricks to keep hackers and scammers from s

Clever Alexa commands you can use again and again!
More than any other device, Alexa has become our closest approximation of artificial intelligence. She has a voice and personality, and if you ask the right question, she'll even get sassy with you.

For many owners, Alexa is more than a mere virtual assistant; she has become something like a domestic companion, a Rosie or R2-D2 that can also order takeout.

Have you ever been frustrated by slow internet speeds? There are many things that could be causing delays in your connection speed. No one likes waiting for web pages to load or videos to play.

Sell your old cellphone for big bucks
When learning about and playing with your new smartphone, did you ever stop to think about what to do with the old one? Throw it out? Give it away? You weren't planning on using it ever again, after all, and it was just going to be a high-tech paperweight. While it may be too late for the phone you replaced years ago, it's a good thing to know that you can actually sell your old phone. And not for pennies, either. But for real money.
These forensic tools expose any photo's hidd
Images contain a treasure trove of hidden, useful data, including date and time of image capture, time zone, type of smartphone used, and the geographical location the image was taken. To expose any photo's hidden data, forensic tools may be used. Forensic tools can detect simple metadata or perform more advanced functions, such as to determine if a photo was altered.
Stop robocalls with Google Voice
Even with the federal Do Not Call registry in place, automated phone calls can still come flooding in. Many businesses sell your information to third parties. In fact, agreeing to this kind of information trade can be part of the deal for many free or low-cost services. The bottom line is: Robocalls are annoying and need to be stopped.
How to know if someone blocked your number
When you block a number, you no longer receive calls or text messages from that person. With Apple's iPhone, it also blocks FaceTime contacts. This can be helpful for stopping some unwanted spam calls, but it can also be used for personal reasons. You won't get any sort of official notice if someone blocks your calls, but you can make an educated guess by looking for these signs.

(Wilhelm) Richard WagnerGerman
Wagner wrote operas on a vast scale telling tales of tragic love and epic stories of battles between the gods. With wars, a revolution and a scandalous love affair, his own life saw its fair share of turmoil too, and not necessarily on a smaller scale.
There is some doubt as to exactly who Wagner's father was. Officially, his father was Friedrich Wagner, a police actuary who died soon after his son's birth. In August 1814, though, Wagner's mother married her friend Ludwig Geyer, an actor, poet and painter, and there is speculation that he was actually Richard Wagner's father.
Regardless of this question over his parentage, the young Wagner went to school in Dresden and then Leipzig. His first creation was not musical, but a play, which he wrote when he was 15. The next year he started to write music. In 1831 he went to Leipzig University, also studying music with the Thomaskantor C. T. Weinlig, and in 1832 he wrote a symphony, which was also performed.
At the age of 20, in 1833, Wagner became the Chorus Master at the Würzburg theatre and wrote his first opera, Die Feen. It wasn't performed, but his next opera (written in the same year), Das Liebesverbot, was staged in 1836.
Wagner made his début as an opera conductor with a small company which went bankrupt soon after performing his opera. Despite this failure, he married the singer Minna Planer in 1836 and moved with her to Königsberg where he became Musical Director at the theatre. He soon left and took a similar post in Riga where he began his next opera, Rienzi. In Riga, he did a lot of conducting, especially of Beethoven. However, Wagner's financial situation was bad, and when creditors demanded their money in 1839, he and his wife escaped by boat to London and then to Paris. Here he worked for publishers and theatres, and continued to write. In 1842, Rienzi was performed in Dresden, and was a great success. Wagner was appointed joint Kapellmeister at the Dresden court, and in 1845 Tannhäuser was performed, and Lohengrin started.
In 1849, Wagner fled revolutionary Paris and went to Weimar, where he was helped by the composer Franz Liszt. He was very anti-Semitic and spent time in France and Switzerland, as he was unable to enter Germany for 11 years. He began sketching the text and music of a series of operas on the Nordic and Germanic sagas - The Nibelung's Ring. Among the friends to whom Wagner showed the operas was a rich patron named Otto Wesendonck. Wesendonck's wife Mathilde, who loved him, wrote poems that he set, and inspired Tristan und Isolde (written between 1857 and 1859).
In 1855 he conducted in London, and by 1860 was in Paris, where his views made him unpopular. In 1862 he returned to Germany, and separated from his wife Minna, who was ill. Wagner gave concerts all over Europe, and in 1864 King Ludwig II invited him to settle in Bavaria, near Munich. The King settled Wagner's debts and provided him with an income.
In the later part of his career Wagner enjoyed the support of King Ludwig II. There was some scandal at the court when it became known that Wagner was having an affair with Franz Liszt's daughter Cosima, who was married to the conductor Hans von Bülow. However, Bülow didn't seem to mind, and conducted several of Wagner's operas, including the premiere of Tristan und Isolde in 1865. In 1868, Cosima moved in with Wagner at his home in Tribschen, near Lucerne, and by the time they got married in 1870, they had two children. By 1876, Wagner was finally able to establish his own theatre and festival at the Bavarian town of Bayreuth, and it was there that The Ring was premiered. The performance of this 18-hour epic was an artistic success, but a financial disaster.
In order to try and earn some money, Wagner spent the next few years conducting in London and throughout Italy, as well as writing more operas. In Venice, Wagner experienced a worsening of the heart trouble he had suffered from for some years, and he died there in February 1883. His body was returned to Bayreuth to be buried.
Wagner's influence on harmony, large scale works, and opera in particular is considerable. He developed the use of the Leitmotiv (leading motif). He was a remarkable innovator both in harmony and in the structure of his work. It can be said that his Prelude to the love tragedy Tristan und Isolde led to a new world of harmony. Wagner was a remarkable innovator both in harmony and in the structure of his work. He created his own version of the Gesamtkunstwerk, a type of dramatic composition in which all the arts (music, poetry, the visual arts, dance etc.) were brought together into a single unity. His political ideas sometimes overshadow his real significance as a composer.

Cooler Master Comforter Mini Review
Cooler Master Comforter Mini Introduction:
Cooler Master is a well-established name in the computer parts and peripherals world. Since its creation in 1992, it has always been a source of innovation, and kept an updated lineup of products. The mobile accessories offered by Cooler Master are the perfect example that the company is keeping on top of the new trends. And it's for a good reason! Mobile devices are everywhere in this day and age. We use them while on the go mostly to keep us entertained, productive, and also socially connected. So what about home usage you might ask. More and more users consider that browsing the Web, checking emails, and media playback doesn't justify firing up a full blown desktop or even a laptop. It's the era where tablets and smartphones made a swift transition from the couches in Starbucks coffee shops to the couches of our homes!
Today I will present you the Cooler Master Comforter Mini. This reversible lapdesk for laptops and tablets is a light, multi-usage platform that Cooler Master claims to be "Cool and Comfy at the DESK, SOFA, and BED". Will this pad be the new standard for comfort? Let's check it out!
Cooler Master Comforter Mini Closer Look:
The packaging, while being minimalistic and very simple in design, still lives to the Cooler Master standards: elegant color theme, nice layout, and great product pictures. The unit comes wrapped in a thin plastic film and slipped through a thick paper sleeve containing all the copy and pictures. The front displays the company's logo, the product name, three pictures, and note about how the Cooler Master Comforter Mini supports up to 15.6" devices. The back has the same text on top, two more pictures, and more details about the unit towards the bottom.
Unwrapping the Cooler Master Comforter Mini didn't take long. It was nice to see that I didn't have to worry about recycling a whole lot of paper products just to get to it. This unit is all about simplicity it seems, yet it feels very well thought out. Weighting 534 grams and measuring 399 x 267 x 50mm (15.7 x 10.51 x 1.97 inch), the unit feels sturdy while being very easy to handle. The soft-side is covered in some sort of dense black foam underneath the fabric. The hard-side is made of finely textured plastic with anti-slip rubber pieces positioned strategically to keep a laptop or tablet in position. One of the long sides is C shaped, which creates a bump on the soft side and a groove on the hard side. The cavity can be used to store small gadgets or limit cable clutter.
Next are a few shots of what the test units used for the purpose of this review looked like when paired with the Cooler Master Comforter Mini.
All this looks great so far. Let's see if the actual usage will prove the claims of comfort.

Jia Zhangke has emerged as the leading figure of the Chinese Sixth Generation film movement and one of international most celebrated film artists. Much admired by critics and an inspiration to fellow filmmakers, he has developed an original, ever-evolving style marked by fluid camera movement and a porous, symbiotic relationship between the real and the imagined.
From March 5th to March 20th MoMA celebrates the filmmaker with a retrospective. A custom notebook has been published by Moleskine in a limited run and given out to guests during the opening event.
This MoMA collaboration is part of the Moleskine Special Projects, to which a new section of our website is now dedicated.

Bafana Bafana – 10/1 (11.0) to win the competition outright with Paddy Power - have not won a single game in the tournament since 2004 and need some serious inspiration if they are to end that jinx against their Group A rivals.
Morocco take on Cape Verdi in the other game and if any match ends 0-0, Paddy Power will refund all losing First Golascorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles.
Arsenal striker Gervinho got the winner two minutes from time as Paddy Power's 11/8 (2.38) favourites the Ivory Coast overcame Togo 2-1 in their opening game on Monday night.
Last year's beaten finalists – after Didier Drogba missed a penalty against 20/1 (21.0) outsiders Zambia – are desperate to claim the crown after being beaten in two recent finals.
The Ivorians know time is running out for the so-called "golden generation" that features Drogba, as well as Premier League stars Yaya and Kolo Toure from Manchester City and Newcastle's United's Cheikh Tiote.
They have swapped the under-soil heating for a month in the sun in Africa in a bid to finally deliver the Africa Cup of Nations to what many believe is the best team the Ivory Coast has had, or is ever likely to have.
A win over Tunisia in their next Group D encounter should see them safely through to the quarter finals.
The last four tournaments have seen 125 goals scored - part of the 319 since 2006 in a tournament that on average features more than 2.5 goals every game.
Things started a little slowly on Saturday with both opening games ending 0-0 between Angola and Morocco and South Africa and Cape Verde – in a tournament not normally known for its attention to detail when it comes to defending - or goalkeeping.
The current competition is being played in successive years to avoid future clashes with the World Cup and in 32 games last year there was only one 0-0 result. Many punters have already have their bets refunded by profiting from the lack of potency in front of goal.
There have been 14 different winners of the tournament since 1957 with Egypt – who failed to qualify this time - winning it on a record seven occasions.
Ghana are second favourites at 7/1 (8.0) but are missing their European-based stars such as Michael Essien, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari while the Ayew brothers have been dropped.
Nigeria have reached four semi-finals in the last six tournaments and John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses will be trying to lift some silverware with the Super Eagles who are 9/1 (10.0) with Paddy Power to win the tournament outright.
Things did not go exactly to plan when they conceded a 94th-minute equaliser against 33/1 (34.0) shots Burkina Faso on Monday after Celtic's Efe Ambrose was sent off in the 75th minute.
They now face Zambia in Group C on Friday afternoon but a win should set them up for a quarter-final appearance at least.

I recently attended the showing at TIFF. A fuller review is on my website, but to summarize, I enjoyed it, but it fell somewhat short of my expectations. I would say the film seemed to take something of a middle ground between a Ghibli style of storytelling versus a more Pixar/Disney style. The supernatural elements, for example, are often more in line with some of the talking sidekicks of a Disney film than with, say, the mysticism of Spirited Away or the gentle benevolence of Totoro. The core premise behind the whole thing, involving Momo's deceased father, is quite endearing (I won't spoil it), but the plot trajectory tended to be somewhat predictable.
So, overall, it was a good film, but I admit my expectations had become somewhat astronomical (hearing that the creator of Jin-Roh spent 7 years on a Ghibli-esque film tends to do that).

Yeah, after hearing someone worked on a film for 7 years, you really can't help but get your expectations way up there. How was it visually btw. I bet it's a masterpiece.
Btw, nice reviews on your site.

I'm a sucker for seaside settings, so I loved the visuals. There's a pretty grand set-piece towards the end as well - a showcase for the animators, in a way, similar to some of the ocean scenes in Ponyo.

Time to bring this thread back to life. The BD has been out for a few weeks now.
It was a beautiful movie, with extremely impressive character animation. It's the first time I've seen such expressive characters in an anime movie. No wonder it took seven years to make.
The plot was fairly straightforward and predictable, but it was enjoyable nonetheless, with some emotionally powerful moments. I can understand why it would disappoint some people especially if they had high expectations, but it worked for me.
I'd readily recommend this movie to Ghibli fans, since the storytelling style is pretty similar to their films. You won't be disoriented.

I wrote this at another forum might as well paste at here too.
Aside really ugly CGi that they abuse to the death for vehicle in first 30 minute, thiis is really beautiful looking movie, especially the animation.. everything looked so smooth, its almost like they using CG.. so many facial expression too,they make the character seem alive, just a great character design and animation work. This might be one the best looking anime move that I ever seen outside Classic Ghibli Works.
For the movie itself after fairly boring first 20 minute, its very fun and compelling.. time flew by till the movie end, the directing also looked very sharp. Its a well executed movie.
Its a shame the movie bombed hard, I wish this is not the end of Okiura's directing career, he clearly a talented director too and not just simply great animator. Would love seeing him and Hosoda leading anime movie industry.
Btw although I'm grieving the fact its bombed, I kinda understand why. Outside being a well-executed movie and entertaining, this movie just lack of hook and "oomph" factor. I think the theme isn't strong enough to attract audience, basically the premise is little quarrel between parent and child + youkai, certainly not that hooking of premise. And I never invested any emotion while watching the movie when that main theme arise, the ending are great though.. make my eyes wet a bit lol.
In conclusion, this is a damn good movie.. with great character animation, they move like real human.

Actually, I thought the movie was very slow, predictable and could understand why it bombed.
It meandered with universe building, then got back to the letter at the very last minute of the movie. And... it used a disease and the weather as a climax focus.
Spoiler for disease:
Also, those yokai looked like they were traditional yokai and not Ghibli yokai so they weren't exactly easy to look at in the film. This to me definitely did not make it a children's title. Those poor tykes would be scared of the film. Not enough fanservice or romance elements to grab the older crowd so yeah, it's gonna bomb imo.
And if you were cynical, you would be thinking

Hosoda's Toki o Kakeru Shoujo came out in the same year as Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimetres Per Second. At the time, I liked TokiKake a lot more the 5cm. TokiKake was a lot more fun, and a lot more expressive. In short, it was a crowd pleaser, while 5cm, being the more depressing title, was, unsurprisingly, overlooked at first.
It's funny how much difference time and hindsight makes. If you were to ask me today which is the stronger film, I'd say without hesitation that it's 5cm.
When it comes to Momo e no Tegami, I suspect that I'll eventually come to a similar conclusion. This movie is likely to grow on me over time, just as 5cm did. As others have commented, the animation quality is superb, especially when it comes to character movement and expression. The poor use of CG for the ferries and a few vehicles is the only minus point in an otherwise near-flawless production. The background art is very well rendered too, and a feast for the eyes. The movie, as a whole, scores highly on a technical level.
In terms of the story, I'm struck by its thematic similarities to Hosoda's Okami no Kodomo Ame to Yuki. Interestingly, that movie has also been criticised for being predictable and a bit too saccharine. Nonetheless, Wolf Children won over mainstream moviegoers on its strength as a heartwarming tale many people could easily relate to.
Momo e no Tegami, unfortunately, dwells on a more low-key subject that was never going to bring the same roller-coaster of emotional highs and lows that Wolf Children did. In this sense, I don't know if it's fair to judge Momo e no Tegami on the basis of its box-office performance.
I feel that Hosoda has a natural flair for creating stories for mainstream audiences. While I greatly admire what he has achieved with just three feature films, in a way, I think he's not yet at a level where he can produce intimate, insightful character studies. Or, more to the point, I don't think he's that type of creator. In contrast, I get the feeling that Hiroyuki Okiura was on to something deeper, something more subtle. It's a pity that he chose a smaller canvas to portray his insight, and therefore received a smaller audience than he deserved.
I would go so far as to say that his approach to this seven-year project reminded me of Yoshifumi Kondo's storytelling in The Whisper of the Heart. There is a level of sincerity and honesty in Okiura's storytelling that I really enjoyed. Okiura's method may not yet be as polished as the late Kondo's, but I think there's a good chance he'll improve. Time, and opportunity, will tell.

But I don't see how 5cm were less hit-maker movie/not attracting (regardless its successful to doing so or not)big audience like Tokikake, just because its more sadder doesn't mean the movie are supposed to be less hooking, especially for movie that attract so many "Its was so sad, make me crying, so its a great movie" from casual audiences. I just can't see how 5cm are less trying to hook audience and more subtle in delivering message. Both have typical story that you can easily see as Live-action hit.
You're right about Hosoda though, he's hit maker.. he just have nose to moving mass to enjoy his work, although heavier critic may say his movie isn't thought provoking etc.
Back to Okiura and this movie, I need to watch Jin-roh to say what kind of director he is, but he clearly talented and I would love to see more work from him.
And if he trying this type of movie again, I want to he try to give stronger narrative.. I don't know about subtlety but Letter to Momo was a bit playing too safe, its can be much stronger movie even with a lot subtlety to deliver the message. Like your example, Whisper of the Heart.

TokiKake, on the other hand, wears its heart on its sleeves, much like Mamoru Hosoda's two subsequent movies. Hosoda, I feel, is great at producing blockbuster films — great entertainment that makes you laugh or cry, but which you won't really need to think much about after you leave the theatre. Hosoda tends not to delve very deep in his stories, but that's what I like about his style. He excels at heartfelt simplicity.
In the end, it doesn't matter if the none of the above makes any sense to you, because I'm describing something completely subjective, namely my personal reaction to both movies over time. I apologise only for not being able to describe more clearly what I'm trying to say.
That makes me wonder how he's gone about thinking about the characters in Momo, the lives they lead, the experiences they've accumulated, the feelings they hide. That's the subtlety I see in this movie, the extra quality I feel will reward those who take a closer look at his storytelling method.
You're right in that the story itself is not so subtle. As orion said, it's a fairly straightforward tale. But, to me, it's a straightforward tale done with great attention to detail, and with a level of skill you don't often see in anime. That's the softer aspect of this movie which attracts me.

Enjoyed this movie, tho I kinda wish there had been less "slapsticky" elements. Just my personal taste though.
Esp loved the animation of the Seto Inland Sea (although I thought Tamayura animation of the same to be prettier)....

My Spiritual Emergence
by Gordon Yumibe
"For all those who have or are suffering silently."
There's been a chapter in my life that I have kept hidden; it concerns my own mental health issues. I've wrestled with sharing this, asked for guidance many times over, and synchronistically received answers including a recent article published in the New York Times by Marsha M. Linehan, about her personal issues with mental health. I decided to share this in the hope of helping others.
When I was 35 years old, I suffered a month-long psychotic episode. There was no hint of what was to follow. I had been devoted to a spiritual path for 10 years. I had graduated from college with a degree in psychology and even worked on the psychiatric floors of a hospital.
It was an acute episode: I remember going to a restaurant to talk to my employer, and as I walked out, everything changed. It was an uncomfortable, frightening world that I would inhabit for the next month. I seemed normal on the outside, yet on the inside everything had an intense Alice in Wonderland feeling. The lights chased me around the city at night and alien entities pursued me to inhabit my body. I took all of my savings and fled on a journey that took me from Washington down the coast to California. The people around me didn't see this internal turmoil or know about my visions at night. Eventually, the energy which had propelled this episode started dissipating and I started feeling my life force ebbing away. Through a fortunate turn of events, I was admitted to a hospital in San Francisco. I was lucky enough to find medication to end this bizarre phase and I quickly regained my normal senses, but I was emotionally drained.
Edgar Cayce talks about health as a cooperative balance between all spheres of mankind's existence. The mind, body, spirit, and soul all have to create a mutually balanced cooperative approach if inner health and equilibrium are to be achieved. All it takes is for one's health start to slip before one begins to realize how fragile our physical existence really, truly is.
Over the next year, I began to feel grounded and returned to work. The fears of another episode seemed like a distant memory. There were some lingering effects including enhancement of my own psychic ability as I began to know what other people were thinking. I also worried that people would never take me seriously again. You know.... "the crazy one."
Twenty years after the episode, several courses at Atlantic University were instrumental to my understanding. The course "Mysticism and Mental Health" helped me put another face on mental illness. Kay Redfield Jamison's book, Touched with Fire, talked about some of our most noted writers and poets flirting with their own mental health issues throughout their most creative periods. There seems to be a link between high levels of creativity and episodic periods of mania. Christina and Stanislav Grof, MD explored the idea of a "spiritual crisis," as emerging spirituality causes disruption to mental health equilibrium.
This concept fit with Laren M. Prato's From the Inside-Out: Shattering the Mental Illness Myth about her time in a mental hospital and the lack of understanding from mental health professionals as to the true causes of some of these issues. The appendix at the end of her book outlined a new diagnostic category in the DSM-lV (the manual used by mental health professionals) called "Religious or Spiritual Problem." This is a lasting legacy, possibly started with the the Grofs' lifetime of work to re-educate mental health professionals about the very nature of this classification.
In the AU course "Transformational Astrology," I was introduced to Jeffrey Wolf Green's book Pluto, the Soul's Evolution through Relationships, Vol. I, which touches upon some of the transformational aspects of this potent planet. I discovered that Pluto was in my Eleventh House between 1980 and '88 when I was in my 30s. It also opposed several of the planets in my chart, which may have been the catalyst for my spiritual crisis. According to Mr. Green, individuals with Pluto in the Eleventh House (house of Aquarius) are learning to break free of social structure and often find new methods of self-discovery.
A few years ago, I attended a lecture by Mirabai Starr titled "Spiritual Crisis/Emergence" in Portland. One of the program attendees strongly voiced skepticism about whether or not it was real. I remember publicly defending the validity of her work. That night, I dreamt of being incarcerated in a previous life because others thought that I had become too "otherworldly." I realized that I am no longer afraid of what others think about me. That fear is gone.
Now, almost 30 years later, I have become grateful for that fearsome experience. For those of us who are more able to live and experience other dimensions daily, this may just represent the evolution of inner life. I am no longer living in a world just defined by time and space. This may represent a portal to help others evolve and know their own spiritual souls and the creative forces that link all of us with our Creator.

text: A 73-yard touchdown pass from Nick Holmes to Kyle Lansing at the end of the first half led to a dominating 42-14 win for the Pleasant Ridge Rams over Atchison County. "I told Nick you know, 'Hey, we've got one play left, just put some air under it and if they pick it's just as good as a punt," head coach Pat McCollim said. "Kyle Lansing made a great play at the ball and that momentum was great." It made it 20-14 Rams at the break, and two touchdown runs by Kyle Grantham and one by Blake Graham gave the Rams a playoff trip to Rossville on Tuesday. "They take a lot of pride in blocking for each other," McCollim said about Grantham and Graham. "We'll watch film on Saturday mornings and they talk a lot to each other about, 'Hey, great block or come on dude do better.'" The wet an muddy field didn't keep Pleasant Ridge from moving the ball more in the second half. The Tigers only got the ball twice in the fourth quarter because of a clock melting 12-play touchdown drive by Pleasant Ridge that ended in a 2-yard run by Grantham with 1:32 left in the game. "To get the ball here with about eight minutes left and to put together a six minute drive is exactly where we want to be with this offense," McCollim said. The Rams took the ball to the Tigers' 10-yard line to start the second half, but Holmes fumbled it. Pleasant Ridge would force a three-and-out on the ensuing drive and Graham scored from seven yards out on the Rams' next drive. The Rams wouldn't give the ball up the rest of the game. "Every play call as I was sending it in I said, 'Two hands on the ball, two hands on the ball,'" McCollim said. The first half was an even battle until the 73-yard touchdown. The Tigers led 7-0 with 3:45 left in the first quarter after a 1-yard quarterback sneak capped off a 12-play drive. The Rams would start at their own 45-yard line and score on a 7-yard run by Holmes and get in on the 2-point conversion to take an 8-7 lead. The Tigers drove right down the field with a coupe of big plays, but a fumble inside the 5-yard line gave the Rams the ball back on their own 3-yard line. The Rams would have three plays of 15 or more yards on the drive and score from the 5-yard line on a Graham run. Atchison County fought right back and got a 19-yard run from their quarterback to tie it up at 14 apiece with 1:56 left in the half. After punts by both teams, Holmes would complete a 10-yard pass to Graham and a 73-yard pass to Lansing in 16 seconds to gain momentum and earn the playoff spot.

How to repair a window
Cracked or broken glass in windows or doors can be very dangerous, especially if you have small children or pets. You could be compromising the security of your home, and the glass won't be weatherproof any more. If you can't make a full repair straight away, try at least to make a temporary repair and ensure the area is safe.
If you need to replace glass in an upstairs window, work from a scaffold tower rather than a ladder and avoid working on a windy day. It's also best to carry the panes on edge to stop them bending and to wear protective gloves while you're doing the job. And remember that to handle large pieces of glass safely, you'll need someone to help you.

Chaos theory aside, The Butterfly Effect's premise is sound and it definitely caught my attention. Starring Ashton Kutcher in, perhaps, his first serious role, the story follows his character Evan Treborn through his childhood of memory loss to his adulthood of discovery. While initially very engaged by the film, upon reflection I found certain elements lacking.
Under the care of a psychologist, Evan is diagnosed with a strange loss of memory after traumatic incidents and is instructed to journal the events of his life as much as possible. The bizarre disease may be linked to his father's own, which has landed him in a mental institution. We follow Evan until his early teens, when he moves away from his friends and the horrors surrounding them. After several uneventful years Evan begins to reexamine these journals and discovers that he can not only recall these missing moments but change them as well. This added responsibility proves to be a quite a burden as Evan relives his childhood again and again attempting to set this right for him and his three good friends Kayleigh (Amy Smart), Lenny (Elden Hensen) and Tommy (William Lee Scott). Each time his goodwill is turned, in some way, to disaster, and he must go back.
While in the theater I was very much engrossed in the complex and delicate intricacies of writer and directors' Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber's carefully woven tale. After the minor annoyance of a trite intro scene, wherein we see Evan in peril that jump cuts back to his childhood, the story begins to unfold. Disparate, but numerous, caches of information are uncovered slowly. There were just enough tantalizing details to keep me enthralled but not enough to provide any concrete answers. At this point in the film, this technique works and its execution is well done.
Despite what he has been through, a grown Evan seems to be doing fairly well as a psychology major at the state university until he rediscovers his old journals and begins to remember those events he had blocked. He has some odd experiences where the words on the page shake and his memory returns. From here on, every time he returns to the past this same effect is used and the looks on Kutcher's face take on a melodramatic façade of intense pain. As he goes back in time several times, each with this same transition, both the effect and the overacting become tedious. Powerful for a preview, doggedly repetitive in actuality.
Before the film began, I was anxious to see how the normally comedic Kutcher would handle the role, and these scenes did little to elevate his status as serious actor. His interactions with the other characters, too, seemed overdone. At times these exchanges reminded me of his performances of convincing, used to trick fellow celebrities, in his MTV show Punk'd. However, considering the intensely emotional nature of the plot I could feel some sincerity in Evan's tearful moments. Overall, I was not convinced of Kutcher's ability to break free of his pigeonhole, but neither did he detract from the movie.
While I applaud the directorial debut of Bress and Gruber, who also wrote the script, there are times when their lack of experience shows through. Each time Evan goes back in time we are treated to the full breadth of each story and its effect on the timeline. While for diehard fans this is exciting and satisfying, it becomes tiresome for most. Many of the storylines could have been highlighted with a scene or two and not delved into as deeply as they were. I got the sense that the writer/director team was unable to ax these scenes they felt so proud of and so they were kept, complete, in the final film. These are the portions I might expect to find in the Director's Cut DVD release but not in the theater. While I lost count, there are at least six separate timelines and by the last, although he was determined to go forward, I was not. This repetition could, perhaps, have worked if we could have felt the awesomeness of Evan's determination against his the rising feelings of paralyzing despair and futility. Neither the script, direction nor acting was able to accomplish this.
Yet while some portions of The Butterfly Effect seemed to drag on forever, other things remained unexplained. The significance of the father was completely lost to Evan's overarching resolve, though its significance is alluded to several times. There are also moments that question what is choice and fate and the cyclical and paradoxical nature of Evan's travels, but this facet is not explored enough to make me believe than Evan ever considers these ideas with any seriousness, and neither does the film.
As a thriller and a mind-bender The Butterfly Effect excels. My first instinct was to feel completely enthralled, even if this first impression shifted the more I thought about it. The ending, while not epic or a twist (although the whole film is in a way) was somewhat unexpected in its particulars, and in that way refreshing. While The Butterfly Effect did leave something to be desired I found it engaging and worth my evening out and I look forward to more mature releases by Gruber and Bress.

Reader Nearly Gets Jacked By Fake ATM
Reader Paul was trying to enjoy fried pop tarts at an outdoor city festival in his hometown when his debit card was nearly stolen by a fake ATM. Someone had modified an arcade cabinet and placed it outside a bank where it had captured the overflow traffic spilling out of the bank lobby.
Paul writes:
I read the post about the fake ATM machines and wanted you to know that I got nearly burned by one.
I cannot give out a lot of information due to the ongoing investigation, now an FBI investigation, about my incident.
A few weeks ago there was a weekend outdoor city festival going on with thousands of people roaming the kiosks, tents, carnival rides and eateries. Naturally they only accepted cash.
Since I don't normally carry cash I went down the street to large chain bank to use the ATM. The indoor ATM and the drive through one was jam packed and with the 90+ degree temperature most people were opting to wait in the lobby of the indoor ATM. There was a small line with a stand-alone ATM sitting outside the bank against the wall. Nothing seemed out of place, just seemed convenient to have one at that moment. The girl in front of me and I started some chit chat about this ATM and she noted she goes to this bank all the time and has never seen this ATM before. We concluded that the bank may have added it the day before to get a ton of ATM fees off non-bank members during the festival. We laughed but not for long. The guy in front of her started cursing up a storm when he tried to withdraw $100 and only got one $20 bill. I looked at the ATM and noted that it looked too familiar to me it was a modified ARCADE CABINET!! The screen was basically a TV screen and number pad lifted from another ATM machine and a real (definitely not fake) card reader installed very well next to the screen.
Long story short, I gave my statement to the county police and yesterday I was brought in for questioning by an FBI agent and I found out what was going on. The FBI agent and I have heavy IT backgrounds and he revealed that the ATM was simple setup: TV, cheap PC, speakers, REAL card reader and a WIFI router. The best part, it actually had a real cash dispenser and actually gave out REAL cash (found a real $20 bill jammed in the dispenser).
The scam works like this:
Build and deploy a fake ATM, let it dispense real money not to tip off anyone, sit in a van down the street with a laptop and have the fake ATM feed credit card numbers and PIN's to it over WIFI. Once the money runs out, just dip out.
Turns out that the machine probably had about $2000 in it, not bad for the potential money that can be stolen later and the fake ATM couldn't have cost more than $1000 to make. The bank logo, the ATM menus can easily be copied from image files off the internet and setup to look real.
The agent also told me that this sort of thing is happening more often. Some of them dispense counterfeit bills, real money or errors out saying it is out of order (but gets the card information and PIN). Best ones so far he said are how ballsy the crooks get by putting these ATM's in malls and gas stations. Also they are also finding ATM's solely to do "Fast Deposits." Basically it says that it will immediately credit the deposit (cash only, naturally) to your account no matter when you put the money in, even weekends. Those are the worst since it asks for your card, PIN, savings/checking account number to be entered at the machine.
My particular incident is under Federal investigation because some leads point it to an international Asian crime gang that has a chapter (is that what they're called?) in my area. Those Triads always getting on my nerves.
The FBI agent gave me some tips that I think you guys might want to pass on to your readers:
- Only use familiar ATMs you've used before
- If it looks fake, it probably is
- If you get counterfeit money, call the cops immediately
- If you realize you've used a fake ATM, call your financial institution immediately to put a fraud alert on your account

LA PLATA, Md. (AP) — Hundreds of people gathered Wednesday to celebrate the life of a federal worker and lifelong Washington Redskins fan who was gunned down at the Washington Navy Yard last week.
Kenneth "Bernard" Proctor, 46, a utilities engineer at the Navy Yard who worked for the federal government for more than two decades, was remembered as a loyal father, friend and public servant at his funeral in La Plata, Md. He left behind two sons. Another funeral was held Wednesday for Arthur Daniels of Washington.
They were among 12 people killed by a gunman in the shooting massacre Sept. 16.
At a standing-room-only service at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in La Plata, Proctor's sons placed their dad's beloved Redskins jersey inside their father's casket. Proctor had coached their football teams growing up, friends said. Proctor loved fishing and working on his race car that he raced at Maryland International Raceway.
Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, who attended the service, presented a flag to Proctor's two sons, Kenneth "BJ" Proctor Jr. and Kendull Proctor. Hoyer represents the family's southern Maryland home in Congress, and the flag was flown over the Capitol in Proctor's honor.
"Eight days ago, 12 of our fellow citizens who served their country with distinction and with honor were taken from us in a senseless, indiscriminate act of a demented and sick person," Hoyer said. "We lament their loss, but we are joyful in their service to our country."
Karl Dyer, a longtime friend and family member by marriage, said Proctor was generous, loyal and full of life.
"He loved to laugh," Dyer said. "What I remember most about him was his smile. He always had a big smile on his face."
The family has been left in shock and disbelief that he's gone, Dyer said.
Todd Edelen, a friend who coached football with Proctor, said that the family has few details about the Navy Yard shooting, but that they have been told he was in the cafeteria at the military installation when he was shot.
"It's still shocking," Edelen said. "It still doesn't make sense."
Proctor's sons — whom he raised with his high school sweetheart, Evelyn Proctor, even after they divorced this year — were the joy of his life, friends said. The oldest son, Kenneth Proctor Jr., enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school this spring and left for basic training in Oklahoma two weeks before his father was killed.
Kendull Proctor, 15, spoke at the end of the service and said his father had taught him respect. He recalled a grocery shopping trip where his father paid for an older woman's groceries ahead of them in line because she couldn't afford the items.
"He said to me later," Kendull Proctor said, "the reason he paid for them was because if that was his mother, he would want someone to step up."
A funeral was also held Wednesday in Temple Hills for Daniels, a handyman and father who was working for a furniture contractor when he was shot at the Navy Yard. One of Daniels' sons also was the victim of gun violence in an earlier fatal shooting.
Billy Martin, a lawyer who represents the Daniels family, said the funeral was a very sad moment, but Daniels' wife and children were overwhelmed by the outpouring of care and love from people who filled the church.
"His loss will be felt forever," Martin said.
The family issued a statement, calling the mass shooting "senseless and tragic." He is survived by four children and his wife, Priscilla Daniels.
"Arthur was a deeply devoted husband, father, and employee," the family wrote. "Together, he and Priscilla, his loving wife of 30 years, built a home filled with love."

Locals complain about prostitution; Sex sting nets 4 men
Investigators conduct undercover sex sting at Malabar motel
MALABAR, Fla. —
Four men face prostitution charges after investigators said they were looking to pay for sex in Brevard County.
Agents released a video of four takedowns that happened inside a Malabar motel room just off Interstate 95.
Investigators said the sex sting was prompted by the complaints of local business people, who authorities said brought their attention to a prostitution problem in the area.

One of the suspects is an associate professor at Brevard Community College. Another suspect told police he was a retired drug enforcement agent.
The four men were booked into the Brevard County Jail on solicitation charges.

Dietrich Buxtehude was regarded as one of the greatest composers of his time and many musicians came from all over Europe to listen to him and also to learn important instructions that would serve them in their later careers.
It was said that even the great J.S. Bach traveled hundreds of miles just to hear Buxtehude play. His abilities on the organ were legendary and his compositional knowledge was the cause of amazement and admiration.
The 12 trio sonatas, Op. 1 and 2 recorded on these two separate discs include some of the composer's most beautiful chamber music, and they are the only works from all his pieces composed that were ever printed.
L'Estravagante play with impressive commitment and persuasive artistry, and in their hands, the music shines in all its radiant simplicity. To my mind, these interpretations hold the answer to why Buxtehude's contemporaries found these works so fascinating. The high quality sound and informative notes complete two superlative additions to the Buxtehude canon.

Boosts brain function later in the day, study says
By Melissa Healy
McClatchy News Service
Leonardo da Vinci took them, as did Napoleon Bonaparte, Johannes Brahms and Winston Churchill. You could probably use one right now.
Midday naps have long been touted as a good thing, lowering blood pressure and driving down the risk of heart attack. And if you snooze long enough, researchers have now found, they also permit your memory banks to do their filing, leaving your brain cleared and ready to learn in the latter half of the day.
University of California at Berkeley psychology professor Matthew Walker and colleagues put 39 young adults through a demanding learning task and tested on it at noon. At 2 p.m., they divided the students into two groups and invited half of them to take a siesta for 90 minutes while asking the remainder to stay awake. At 6 p.m., both groups were returned to the day's learning task and tested again.
The siesta group went into the 6 p.m. task readier to learn and performed 10 percent better on the test than they had earlier. The no-nap group's performance declined by 10 percent, Walker reported. While not all the nappers slept for the same length of time, those who had more Stage 2 non-REM sleep, a lighter form of sleep in which one does not dream, had the greatest performance enhancement.
The group presented its findings earlier this year at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego.

I recently had a curious hiccup using magma's sgemm. sgemm, as you likely know is C=alpha*A*B + beta*C. When beta=0, the last term can theoretically be entirely dropped.
After allocating C on the GPU, I had been initializing it with zeros. I was advised by the CULA people that I could skip this step when beta=0, since the beta*C term was then ignored. We strive for efficiency in our calculations, of course.
I adapted my code to magma and was having problems getting the right answers out of sgemm... It developed that I needed to once again zero-out C after allocation, even when beta=0. It seems that magma implements the beta*C calculation even when beta=0. (?)
I was surprised by this, but happy that the numbers I was getting back from magma agreed with matlab and CULA, at last. Perhaps a word of warning to all, and a suggestion to magma for a way to make a (small, to be sure) improvement in computational efficiency of sgemm.
If it matters: I was using the latest magma on a 555m/laptop and stock Suse linux 11.4. Magma is certainly a bear to get set up with BLAS, etc.!

President Obama named 101 mathematics and science teachers as recipients of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Carol (Joy) Dobson, a mathematics teacher at Weybridge Elementary School, and Mary Ellis, a mathematics teacher at Enosburg Elementary School, have been selected as 2012 PAEMST awardees.
PAEMST was established in 1983 to identify outstanding teachers who can serve as role models for their colleagues. The goal of the program is to encourage highly capable individuals to enter and remain in the teaching field. Winners of this Presidential honor receive a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation to be used at their discretion. They also are invited to Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony and several days of educational and celebratory events, including visits with members of Congress and the Administration.
"One of the best parts of teaching is the satisfaction that comes from helping students challenge themselves, work through confusions, and think deeply in order to experience success," said Mary Ellis, Enosburg Elementary School teacher. "When students are openly sharing strategies and discussing misconceptions to help each other learn, they are being successful on many levels. This award is a celebration of that success and an affirmation of a collaborative learning environment."
The educators receiving these awards are recognized for significantly improving their students' understanding of mathematics and science, for exemplary teaching, and for demonstrating educational goals that help them maintain positions of professional leadership.
"Being recognized as an early educator validates the important and meaningful work of young students and teachers in the primary classroom," said Joy Dobson, Weybridge Elementary School teacher. "This award is a testament to the number of great teachers, mentors, and talented, dedicated colleagues I am privileged to work with that inspire me daily to grow and learn. It also demonstrates the tremendous impact of a community that consistently values and supports excellence in learning for their children."
Nominations for this award come from the teachers' colleagues, administrators, students, parents of students, and other community members. To be eligible, a teacher must spend half, or more than half, of his or her time in a public, private, or approved independent school, and have a minimum of five years teaching experience. The 2014 awards will honor mathematics and science (including computer science) teachers working in grades K-6. Nominations for the 2014 PAEMST are open through April 1, 2014.
