Today in Masonic History Levi Knight Fuller passes away in 1896.
Levi Knight Fuller was an American politician.
Fuller was born in Westmoreland, New Hampshire on February 24th, 1841. He attended public schools in Brattleboro, Vermont. He later apprenticed as a machinist in Boston. He took a job as a telegrapher to finance his education in engineering and manufacturing.
Fuller eventually returned to Brattleboro where he joined the Estey Organ Company as an engineer and executive. There he was granted several patents including one for an international standard pitch. The innovation was adopted by manufacturers of musical instruments all over the world including Steinway Pianos. The maker of Steinway said of Fuller's innovation that it was "perhaps the most important achievement in the annals of musical history."
Fuller had many other pursuits other than engineering. He was an astronomer and built his own observatory. He was also a member of various professional organizations including American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and American Institute of Electrical Engineers. He was also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and president of the Vermont Chapter.
Fuller's philanthropic pursuits led him to being one of the founders of North Carolina's Shaw University, the South's oldest historically African-American college.
In 1870, Fuller started the Fuller Light Battery, field artillery unit. Fuller funded and equipped the Battery for two years until it was accepted as part of the Vermont National Guard. His efforts meant that the Vermont National Guard was the first state to have a field rifled artillery. The unit won various efficiency and accuracy competitions.
In 1880, Fuller was elected to the Vermont State Senate, serving until 1881. In 1886, he became the 34th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, serving until 1887. In 1892 he was nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor. Winning in the General election he served the single two year term available to Vermont Governors at the time. Fuller was active in the "good roads" movement of the late 19th century and his term saw the creation of Vermont's first statewide effort to regulate road construction and maintenance in the form of the Board of Highway Commissioners.
Fuller passed away suddenly on October 10th, 1896 from what is believed to have been overwork and anemia.
Fuller was a member of Columbian Lodge No. 36 in Brattleboro, Vermont. He was also a member of Fort Dummer Chapter No. 12, Royal Arch Masons and Vermont Commandery No. 4, Knights Templar.

4 Wrong Motives to Give?
You are here: Home / Giving / Are You Motivated by these 4 Wrong Motives to Give?
Are You Motivated by these 4 Wrong Motives to Give?
Deciding if something is good or not cannot be measured by externals.
Instead, it must be measured by motives.
The 'what are you doing' question doesn't get to the real heart of the issue.
However, when we start to ask 'why are you doing it', we'll start making progress.
Have you ever seen that game where mechanical groundhogs come out of their hole and the player of the game has to bop them on the head?
I think too many Christians feel like they are the game and God is player.
They think that God is waiting for them to make a mistake, and he is going to bop them.
When we look at the heart of our giving, if all we see is fear and guilt, it is time to start praying that God would allow us the opportunity to grow in the grace of giving.
If you've grown up in a Christian home, you may have some psychological baggage when it comes to how God views your life.
At times in my life, I've felt like when I do good things, I make God smile. The obvious inverse assumption is that when I do wrong, I make God frown.
Wouldn't we all like to make God smile?
So we work at making God smile by doing everything he told us to do.
We give so that God will give us a spiritual pat on the head and say 'great job'.
However, God smiles at us for who we are. He made us and he loves what he made. We don't need to earn his love or affection.
That doesn't mean God isn't disappointed when we sin, but it does mean giving to get God's positive attention isn't necessary.
If we are tempted to give to earn God's attention, I think we could also face the temptation to give so that others will give us an 'atta boy'.
Who doesn't want to be accepted, if not praised, by her peers?
We've all been in social settings where someone talks about how Mr. and Mrs. Y just gave xyz dollars to the ministry at the church. We see how those people respect that couple, and a small light bulb illuminates in our hearts.
If I give and people see it, then they'll talk about me with the same level of admiration.
That certainly seems to be the issue that lead to the demise of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5).
Matthew 6 encourages us to be sure that our giving is not done to attract the attention of others. In fact, our giving is best done in secret.
Some health and wealth preachers tell us to give so that we'll get even more money. If you open up the clip on your wallet, then God will open up the store room of heaven.
If you dish God a spoon full of money, then he'll give it to you by the cupful. If you dish God a cupful of money, he'll give it to you by the bucketful.
God does reward us for our giving. However, God doesn't promise us that it will be in the same currency as what we give.
I've been struggling with this one lately, so if I'm off base here, could someone please correct me?
In the book Money, Possessions, and Eternity, Randy Alcorn suggests giving to get an eternal reward should be the primary motivation of our giving.
While it is inarguably true that we will get an eternal reward for what we give, I'm not very comfortable making this the primary motive for giving.
The Self remains the center of every action or choice.
The Gospel call is to give up self. To die. To deny. To sacrifice.
Giving to get eternal rewards seems like it is simply serving the Enlightened Self. The Self that realizes the better way to get is to get later. It is the Educated Self that knows how to play the game.
I do believe we will be rewarded (in some form or fashion) for what we give, I just don't know if that should be the primary motive to give.
What Should be our Primary Giving Motivation?
When we think about all that Christ has done for us, how he, for our sakes, became poor, it should stir up something within us: a desire to live in response to the generosity we have experienced.
What other wrong giving motives have you encountered? What do you think about giving to get? What should be our proper giving motivation?
What about channeling your giving in order to receive a tax deduction. That is one aspect of giving I really struggle with, especially if the amount of money is significant. While my heart's desire is to give, I know that it hurts my family financially if we give larger amounts without receiving a tax deduction for it. But not all worthwhile giving opportunities come with a letter from a non-profit organization that the IRS will accept. Does anyone else wrestle with this?
I think you've made some interesting comments Craig. I think part of the problem is what is often taught in churches (In Australia at least), particularly for Points 1 and 4. The tithing and prosperity doctines have alot to answer for, when they are used to influence people to use/give money for the wrong reasons. It makes me angry when gullible people are targetted to empty their wallets for the promise of another reward. I think in all aspects of our walk including giving we need to be lead/motivated by the Spirit. One book that I found useful in my understanding of giving was "Tithing and Still Broke" by Niral Burnett.
exactly usiere we are doing this for a reward perfectly put.
I dont like people giving me to much because it makes me feel belittled. I think when some people give they want you to bow down to them. so I hate this giving thing. ive broke away from friendships on the count of it. so im not for it.
jesus said to the rich young ruler give your possessions to the poor and you will have riches in heaven how is that not giving to get?
mind you he said to the poor not the temple.
didnt realize i was replying to myself lol.

Q: Azure database became readonly after deploying server to Azure I have got an SQL database on Azure.
When connecting to the DB from my Visual Studio, everything is fine. However, once I published the app to Azure, the database became read only. I can fetch the data, but cannot write anything. The server returns 500 code, but I did not any way of debugging it.
Could you advice of the solution?

A: Alright, I figured out the problem.
I debugged the server remotely (luckily it is possible) and found out that the exception was thrown when trying to parse IP address (it is my code). Azure server has got ip:port and my code could only handle ip (without port). So I fixed it and it works.

Friendship Holidays Association
For a period of forty years, from 1922 until 1961, the Friendship Holidays Association (FHA) provided holidays based on communal and co-operative principles similar to those pursued by two much better-known organisations, the Co-operative Holidays Association (CHA) and the Holiday Fellowship, founded by Thomas Arthur Leonard in 1893 and 1913, respectively. FHA holidays followed a similar format to those of the CHA and the Holiday Fellowship, with a weekly programme of led walks and excursions, and communal evening entertainment organised by the host and hostess, who were volunteer members. The form and content of its holiday brochures replicated those of the CHA and Holiday Fellowship.
The FHA was founded in 1922 by Henry C White, a self-made man and staunch Methodist. Henry C White was born in 1875, the son of Charles White, a general labourer from Buckinghamshire and his wife Elizabeth. He started work at Waterloo Station as a newsboy with Messrs. W.H. Smith and Son at the age of 13 years. When his brother, who was in charge of the Charing Cross Station bookstall, was transferred to Penrith, Henry C White accompanied him. After working there for three years, and then in Preston, Manchester and Liverpool, he became the manager of the W.H. Smith bookstall at Poulton-le-Fylde Station, near Blackpool, in 1896.
He successfully ran the Poulton-le-Fylde bookstall for 20 years until 1916 when he left to become a commercial traveller with the Nestlé Company and then with Barker & Dobson, the Liverpool sweet manufacturer. Married to Jessie Wells in 1911, and with two daughters, Marjorie and Dorothy, the family moved to Kents Bank, near Grange-over-Sands on the edge of the English Lake District in 1916.
After the First World War, dissatisfied with his life as a commercial traveller, Henry C White gave up his job and the family moved to Prestatyn in North Wales. There, inspired and guided by T.A. Leonard, who lived close by at the Holiday Fellowship's centre in Conwy, he rented a boarding school in Penmaenmawr with accommodation for 40 people, for 6 weeks during the summer and advertised it as holiday accommodation. T.A. Leonard willingly offered Henry C White help and advice about expanding his holiday enterprise without fearing the competition.
The FHA Story
The success of this first venture persuaded Henry C White to rent other properties in Llandudno, Pwllheli and Conwy in North Wales, and the Friendship Holidays Association was born. The first 'official' brochure, for 1922, advertises six guest houses; at Llandudno, Pwllheli and Conwy in North Wales, Seaford Bay near Eastbourne in Sussex, Bray in Ireland, and a hotel in London. The holidays provided basic accommodation at a cost of 70/- (£3.50) per week.
By the middle of the 1930s, the FHA operated over twenty centres, accommodating some 10,000 guests each year, with guest houses stretching from Paignton in the south-west of England to Ardentinny on the shores of Loch Long in Argyllshire, Scotland. Most were substantial villas and country houses. Glyn Garth, situated on the banks of the Menai Straits was one of the FHA's most prestigious guest houses. Built in 1851 for wealthy German-born businessman and philanthropist, Salias Schwabe, this imposing building became the official residence of the Bishop of Bangor, Watkin Herbert Williams, in 1899, when it became known as 'The Bishop's Palace'. When he retired in November 1924, the Bishop's Palace was put up for sale and was purchased by the FHA. It continued as an FHA centre until 1961 except for a break during the Second World War when it was requisitioned for war purposes. Its use as an FHA centre ceased on the death of H C White in 1961 and was demolished in 1964 to make way for a block of flats.
The outbreak of the Second World War had a profound effect on the FHA. With one exception, all the guest houses were requisitioned and were out of commission for the duration of the war; the Bishop's Palace on Anglesey was still in Government hands in 1947. The Autumn 1947 newsletter, the first for nine years, welcomed guests to a new dawn for the FHA. The FHA operated successfully during the 1950s with some thirteen guest houses in Britain and organised holidays to ten destinations in Europe; Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. Many centres were in traditional seaside holiday resorts such as Colwyn Bay, Folkestone, Hornsea, Kingswear, North Berwick, Seaford Bay and Ventnor. Although originally based on walking holidays and established to 'foster the love of the open air and countryside', the emphasis of holidays from the 1950s onwards was very much on excursions to local attractions; castles, abbeys, historic villages, gardens and houses. However, "Friendship" remained a cornerstone of the FHA's philosophy. As holiday programmes state:
At all our centres, guests are asked to assist in maintaining the atmosphere of friendliness, which is one of the principal features of our guest houses. Games, dancing and impromptu concerts are arranged in the evenings and the Host and Hostess will welcome volunteers to play and sing. Bring your music with you. Whist drives also arranged.
The 1960s was a period of dramatic social, economic and cultural change. The liberalisation of British society, increasing mobility and the phenomenal rise in cheap foreign package holidays posed a serious threat to organisations such as the FHA, which provided holidays based on full board accommodation, as well as to the traditional seaside resorts where many of the FHA's properties were located. Increasing regulation and demands for improved facilities threatened the viability of the FHA's centres. On the death of Henry C White in 1961, his daughter Dorothy decided that she was unable, on her own, to continue to run the business. Centres were sold-off to be converted into hotels and apartments or demolished.
On the death of Henry C White in 1961, obituaries echo the generally held view of the membership that he succeeded in his aim of providing holidays that: 'are opportunities to enrich the mind and develop the personality, and above all expand happiness through friendship'. Few people now remember Henry C White and the organisation he founded and ran for over forty years but the contribution of the FHA to the growing outdoor holiday industry during the inter-war period and the years immediately following the Second World War should not be under-estimated. The FHA played a not-insignificant role in providing opportunities for ordinary working people to explore the British countryside in an atmosphere of friendship and fellowship and, in so doing, helped to foster a love of the open-air and countryside amongst an increasingly urban population.
Note: I am indebted to Elizabeth Brooking, H C White's grand-daughter for providing me with access to the records of the Friendship Holidays Association, on which this article is based.

St Julian's is a town located on the northern coastline of Malta, just west of the capital, Valetta. The centre of St Julian's is named Paceville and it is here that the thrumming nightlife can be found, with plenty of nightclubs and bars.
Popular nightclubs include Havana, Axis, Sky Club and Fuego and they offer an eclectic range of music.
If you enjoy a mixture of fine dining and serious partying, this is definitely the destination for you. St Julian's is popular amongst teenagers and young couples, but plays host to many other ages and interests too. Traditionally a fisherman's village, St Julian's is a relatively recently developed place, having seen a change in its fortunes in the 1800s.
The development began with the building of Spinola Palace which overlooks what is now known as Spinola Bay. The rest of the area very slowly caught up and St Julian's was transformed into the important seaside village that it is today.
However, the moniker of 'seaside village' can be a bit misleading for tourists as St Julian's only has one public beach that is safe for swimming. The bays in the area are usually used to berth boats, which helps to retain the traditional fishing village atmosphere of the area.
Renting a car is a good idea so that you can explore the surrounding area and find some good beaches. However, St Julian's is notoriously difficult to find parking in, especially during the summer months and at weekends.
But St Julian's is also a very romantic town and belongs to one of the most picturesque areas in Malta.
We inspire tourists with beautiful travel destinationals and connect them with the best accommodations around the world.

The Power of Suggestion (FAST, CHEAP & OUT OF CONTROL)
From the Chicago Reader (November 14, 1997). –J.R.
Fast, Cheap & Out of Control
Directed by Errol Morris
With Dave Hoover, George Mendonca, Ray Mendez, and Rodney Brooks.
To name an object is to suppress three-fourths of the enjoyment of the poem, which is composed of the pleasure of guessing little by little: to suggest…that is the dream. –Stéphane Mallarmé
If narratives are arrangements of incidents with precise beginnings, middles, and ends, then Errol Morris's exciting and singular Fast, Cheap & Out of Control doesn't really qualify. You can't even call it a documentary in any ordinary sense, because you often can't say exactly what's being documented. I suspect that poetry offers a better model for what Morris is up to, particularly Mallarmé's idea of what poetry should be: an obscure object shaped and defined in successive increments by the reader's perception and imagination.
Four men are interviewed separately in Morris's film — a lion tamer (Dave Hoover), a topiary gardener (George Mendonca), a mole-rat specialist (Ray Mendez), and a robot scientist (Rodney Brooks) — and they recount the origins as well as some of the development of their passion for their work. Who they are apart from their work almost never comes up. Read more
Telling Lies in America
From the October 24, 1997 Chicago Reader. — J.R.
Small, quiet virtues are rare enough in American movies these days, but to find them in a bittersweet autobiographical script by none other than Joe Eszterhas — about growing up as a green Hungarian immigrant in early 60s Cleveland — is a genuine shock. Yet I have to admit that earlier Eszterhas-scripted movies such as Basic Instinct and Showgirls, for all their grotesqueries, have gradually become guilty pleasures of mine; there's something touching about his honest primitivism. When the grotesquerie's removed — as it has been under the thoughtful direction of Guy Ferland (whose only previous feature is The Babysitter) — what emerges is solid and affecting. Brad Renfro plays a shy, 17-year-old compulsive liar who goes to work for a master, a payola-happy rock DJ (Kevin Bacon in his prime) named Billy Magic. What the kid winds up discovering — like the hard discoveries in Elia Kazan's America, America — is more nuanced than you might think. The period detail is mostly perfect and the casting of certain minor parts (such as Luke Wilson as an egg-market manager) sublime, and the purity of feeling recalls exercises in nostalgia on the order of The Last Picture Show.

To Have and Have Not [SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE]
From the Chicago Reader (August 24, 1989). — J.R.
SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE
*** (A must-see)
Directed and written by Steven Soderbergh
With Andie MacDowell, James Spader, Laura San Giacomo, and Peter Gallagher.
As its lowercase title suggests, sex, lies, and videotape is an example of lowercase filmmaking: lean, economical, relatively unpretentious (or at least pretentiously unpretentious), and purposefully small-scale. Its having walked off with the Cannes film festival's Palme d'Or — making first-time writer-director Steven Soderbergh at 26 the youngest filmmaker ever to win that prize — saddles it with more of a reputation than it can comfortably live up to. In a time of relative drought, it's certainly a small oasis, but the attention it's been getting befits something closer to a breakthrough geyser.
All the fuss may be a sign of panic over more than just movies. Sexual repression is reflected in various ways in current pictures, but this is the only one that deals with it forthrightly as its central subject — specifically, as the main preoccupation of its two leading characters — and broaches sexual problems such as impotence and frigidity in the bargain. I haven't heard such giddy, unnatural-sounding laughter in a movie theater since The Decline of the American Empire hit the art-house circuit a few years ago — the same sort of forced, hyped-up hilarity at the mere mention of words like "fucking" and "penis" and "getting off." Read more
The Last Filmmaker
From the January 26, 1996 issue of the Chicago Reader. — J.R.
Films by Robert Bresson
By Jonathan Rosenbaum
Two types of film: those that employ the resources of the theater (actors, directors, etc.) and use the camera in order to reproduce; those that employ the resources of cinematography and use the camera to create….Cinematography: a new way of writing, therefore of feeling. — Robert Bresson, Notes on Cinematography
Among the people of my acquaintance who know a lot about film, most — perhaps all — consider Robert Bresson the greatest living filmmaker. Because he's in his early 90s, the possibility of his making another movie — his last was L'argent ("Money") in 1983 — is remote. (Most biographical sources place his birthdate in 1907, but reliable informants have told me that this very private individual shaved at least a couple of years off his age some time ago, apparently to extend his credibility as a working director with insurance companies.)
In spite of its importance, his work may have difficulty surviving, because most of it doesn't "translate" to video. The reasons are complex, but for starters I would suggest that two central factors involved are sound presence and the framed image. Read more
The Last Movie
From the December 1, 1989. Chicago Reader. — J.R.
The least that can be said for Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie, made nine years earlier than his 1980 masterpiece, Out of the Blue, is that no other studio-released film of the period is quite so formally audacious. After the surprise success of Easy Rider, Hopper was given carte blanche by Universal Pictures to make this disjointed epic in Peru; although it was given a special prize at the Venice film festival, the film was withdrawn from circulation in the U.S. after a couple of weeks and has rarely been screened since. After working in a western directed by Samuel Fuller (playing himself), during which one of the lead actors (Dean Stockwell) has been killed, an American stuntman (Hopper) remains behind with a Peruvian woman. He is eventually drafted into an imaginary movie being made by the Indian villagers; before or after this — the film isn't very explicit about chronology — he is enlisted in a scheme to find gold in the mountains. The curious thing about this freewheeling allegory is that it is simultaneously about many things (the fakery of moviemaking, mutual exploitation, ugly Americans in the third world, Hopper as Jesus) and nothing at all.

The Trouble With Harry [BLOOD WORK]
From the Chicago Reader (August 9, 2002). — J.R.
** (Worth seeing)
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Written by Brian Helgeland
With Eastwood, Wanda De Jesus, Jeff Daniels, Anjelica Huston, Tina Lifford, Igor Jijikine, Alix Koromzay, Dylan Walsh, and Paul Rodriguez.
Clint Eastwood's latest slugfest, Blood Work, is ultimately just another Dirty Harry opus. And by now Harry has become boring, not because Eastwood keeps trying to redefine the character the public tends to remember him for, but because he doesn't try to redefine the punk villains who keep Harry busy and dirty.
In Blood Work — not technically but generically and existentially a Dirty Harry adventure — the villain is a standard-issue serial killer. It's a truism that there are more serial killers in movies than there could possibly be in life, and what keeps them mythic seems to have less to do with the world we live in than with the sadistic and infantile ways we like to think about that world. I have come to associate pleasure in cinema with the absence of serial killers, and the pleasure I associate with Blood Work includes everything that doesn't relate to the silly one lodged near its center.

Lie Lady Lie [HOUSESITTER]
From the Chicago Reader (June 12, 1992). — J.R.
HOUSESITTER
Directed by Frank Oz
Written by Mark Stein and Brian Grazer
With Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn, Dana Delany, Julie Harris, Donald Moffat, Peter MacNicol, Richard B. Shull, Laurel Cronin, Roy Cooper, and Christopher Durang.
I've seen previews of two summer comedies so far — Sister Act and Housesitter — that have elicited gales of hysterical laughter from their mainly young audiences. In both cases the hysteria and volume of the laughter seemed a bit out of proportion. The one-joke premise of Sister Act — that there's something indescribably hilarious about nuns behaving slightly irreverently — smacks more of quiet desperation growing out of repression than of something to feel happy about. I suspect that if I were a Catholic I'd feel more offended than charmed by the complacency of this running gag, whatever Emile Ardolino's efficiency as a director. There's a certain darkness behind many of the laughs in Housesitter, too, but at least they relate to a zeitgeist I can feel part of.
The main comic staple of Housesitter, apart from the enjoyable physical clowning of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, is a theme I associate especially with the comedies of Billy Wilder: the baroque complications that grow out of elaborate lies. Read more
Lost in the Woods [BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2]
From the Chicago Reader (November 3, 2000). — J.R.
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
Directed by Joe Berlinger
Written by Dick Beebe and Berlinger
With Kim Diamond, Jeffrey Patterson, Erica Geersen, Tristine Ryler, and Stephen Ryan Parker.
Call me naive, but unlike many of my colleagues I thought the unexpected runaway success of The Blair Witch Project in the summer of 1999 was encouraging, not depressing. I saw it as an indication that contemporary teenagers are far from the hardened cynics media "experts" make them out to be and that special effects and a handful of stars aren't their sole reasons for wanting to see a movie. Its appeal offered a clear challenge to the studios and even forced the film industry to let it play in malls — an astonishing accomplishment for an independent pseudodocumentary that cost only $30,000.
I don't consider the movie any sort of masterpiece and fully acknowledge its primitive conceptual and technical aspects, but I still think it expresses something about its young fans that's authentic and powerful: a feeling of helplessness about their isolation and ignorance in relation to the world that's central to its impact as a horror movie. If that isolation and ignorance led some viewers to initially see it as a real documentary, this is a tribute to the movie's effectiveness — which makes it similar in some respects to Jim McBride's David Holzman's Diary, a 1967 low-budget pseudodocumentary that also fooled many young viewers.

The New Age
From the September 20, 1994 Chicago Reader. –J.R.
This new comedy by writer-director Michael Tolkin (The Rapture), which reunites the leads of Naked Lunch, Peter Weller and Judy Davis, as fashion-plate yuppies in Los Angeles who have spiritually lost their way, keeps promising to be a great satire. But the promise is only half kept; each time one expects some follow-through on a fruitful conceit (e.g., the couple opening a new boutique called Hipocracy, Patrick Bauchau as a mysterious guru), the movie stops dead in its tracks, just like the woeful couple. This is still great fun as far as it goes;, and serious as well; just don't expect any structure. With Adam West as Weller's father, John Diehl, Paula Marshall, and Samuel L. Jackson. (JR)
Heartbreak Motel [on TAPE]
From the Chicago Reader (November 16, 2001). — J.R.
Tape ***
Directed by Richard Linklater
Written by Stephen Belber
With Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Uma Thurman.
It seems that the less we know about a subject, the likelier we are to be assertive about it. And journalists play a big role in making people feel knowledgeable about what they don't know. That's why we keep encountering more and more twaddle about the state of world cinema even though the growth of digital video makes it impossible for anyone to keep up with the state of local cinema in any large city, much less any country, still less the world. All journalists can honestly say is that more and more works are being made and that keeping up with them is no longer possible. It was only days after an Iranian friend and I completed a book about Abbas Kiarostami that a New York critic E-mailed us about two new Kiarostami works we hadn't even heard of — a ten-minute short for an episodic feature and a fiction feature in DV that he's in the final stages of editing.
DV equipment is so easy to shoot with –it's compact, light, inexpensive, unobtrusive — that it's hard to keep up with how filmmakers are using the technology. Read more
Lost in the Shuffle [THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN]
From the Chicago Reader (March 12, 1999). — J.R.
The Deep End of the Ocean
Rating ** Worth seeing
Directed by Ulu Grosbard
Written by Stephen Schiff
With Michelle Pfeiffer, Treat Williams, Jonathan Jackson, Ryan Merriman, Whoopi Goldberg, Cory Buck, John Kapelos, and Michael McElroy.
The two best reasons for seeing The Deep End of the Ocean are the story and Michelle Pfeiffer, not necessarily in that order. But these two calling cards are sometimes at odds, so the film's virtues and problems grow out of the same source. On the one hand, you've got the star system creating certain expectations about the story's focus; on the other, you've got a narrative about a 12-year-old boy trying to figure out his identity by reconciling two sets of parents. Because these two factors are at cross-purposes, you start out watching a star vehicle and wind up watching a coming-of-age story; the transition from one to the other is what makes The Deep End of the Ocean feel somewhat uncertain.
Certainly one can rationalize this shift of gears. The late Dwight Macdonald — the film critic for Esquire back in the early 60s, when it was still possible to write for that magazine about movies as an art form rather than as a combination of sport and business — suggested in one of his columns that a shift of focus from one character to another is often a good thing.

Nick Of Time
From the November 7, 1995 Chicago Reader. To my amazement, I just saw this spiffy thriller on Hulu, believing throughout that I was seeing it for the first time, until I stumbled upon this capsule afterwards — a sobering example of how much amnesia can affect film reviewers. — J.R.
Unfolding in real time, from the moment a CPA (Johnny Depp) arrives at Los Angeles Union Station with his little girl to the moment 90 minutes or so later when a political assassination is supposed to occur in the Westin Bonaventure Hotel a few blocks away (the same hotel, if memory serves, that provided the climax for In the Line of Fire), this crackerjack paranoid thriller (1995) is a skillful example of what Hollywood used to do so well in the 40s and 50s, in sleepers like The Window and Don't Bother to Knock. Working with a script by Patrick Sheane Duncan and Ebbe Roe Smith, producer-director John Badham, in his best film since Saturday Night Fever, does an able job of moving around his actors (including Christopher Walken, Charles S. Dutton, Peter Strauss, Roma Maffia, Gloria Reuben, and Marsha Mason). Despite a few lapses in judgment, this is a well-crafted exercise — and one, incidentally, that packs a pointed if unobtrusive punch about how both gubernatorial campaigns and fancy hotels are run.

DOWN WITH LOVE (2003)
Written for The Unquiet American: Transgressive Comedies from the U.S., a catalogue/ collection put together to accompany a film series at the Austrian Filmmuseum and the Viennale in Autumn 2009. — J.R.
One reason I took so long getting to see this movie (2003) was the number of friends who assured me it was nothing special. Most of them seemed to go along uncritically with the publicists' claim, echoed by reviewers, that it was a simple point-by-point pastiche of three late-50s and early-60s comedies starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Tony Randall: Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). These films have never appealed to me in the slightest, though Mark Rappaport did an expert job of unpacking them in his 1992 Rock Hudson's Home Movies. But Down With Love is also an affectionate satire of late-50s and early-60s studio glitz that often contradicts the pastiche. The filmmakers, who were too young to experience this era themselves, make plenty of errors, starting with a Fox CinemaScope logo (wrong studio and too late for that logo) and the snazzy rainbow credits (too hyperactive for the time). Then we get palatial Manhattan apartments (much more identified with How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953 and The Tender Trap in 1955) and bubble-gum-colored media blitzes (as in Funny Face and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter and Fast Trip, Long Drop
These exceptional personal documentaries add up to a potent double bill; of the nonfiction films in the festival that I've seen, these are in many ways the best. Deborah Hoffman's Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter, which deals only in passing with the fact that the director's a lesbian, is a beautifully precise, acute, intelligent, practical, touching, and even (at times) comic record of how she copes with her discovery that her mother has Alzheimer's disease. Using video and audio recordings of her interactions with her mother and some on-camera statements of her own, Hoffman charts in haunting detail precisely what memory loss entails, not only for her mother but for herself as she adjusts to the situation. Full of wisdom and insight, this 44-minute essay film is far from depressing. The same is true of Gregg Bordowitz's 54-minute, deconstructive Fast Trip, Long Drop (1993), an autobiographical essay about the filmmaker's 1988 discovery that he'd tested HIV-positive and his subsequent life, including his decision to quit drugs and drinking and come out to his mother and stepfather. Making semi-ironic use of silent found footage and Jewish music, Bordowitz speaks about his late father and his sex life; he also includes conversations with various friends (including filmmaker Yvonne Rainer), his own documentary footage of AIDS rallies, a tour of his bookshelves, and a bitter parody of the way the media have treated AIDS.

I haven't been much of a John Woo fan, and war films aren't my cup of tea, but this World War II epic made me reconsider both biases. The masterful storytelling, which doesn't seem overextended even at 134 minutes, focuses on the unlikely friendship between a shell-shocked marine (Nicolas Cage) returning to combat in time for the battle of Saipan in 1944 and the Navajo Indian he's assigned to guard (Adam Beach of Smoke Signals), who's been trained to transmit messages in a code based on his native language. The material yields a powerful story more realistic in premise and treatment than Woo's usual fare (the depiction of American wartime racism is especially sharp), yet it's clearly a personal project that gratifies his penchant for both male bonding and dramatic action sequences. Despite some of the sentimentality that is also Woo's stock-in-trade, I was moved and absorbed throughout. Written by John Rice and Joe Batteer; with Peter Stormare, Noah Emmerich, Mark Ruffalo, Martin Henderson, Roger Willie, Brian Van Holt, Frances O'Connor, and Christian Slater.

RUGBY LEAGUE & GENERAL TOPICS
Summer/Winter debate
By ckn, August 28, 2013 in The Community Rugby League Forum
DRLFC 1
My apologies I thought Derby
And I understand where the RU club are coming from as this will create revenue all year round. I would still say progress would be a league running alongside the NCL From March to October i would suspect the few players who like RL and are good at it may be tempted to go to Peterlee to progress their standard of play
Yeah Peterlee are doing a great job taking RL forward in the region. Out of our squad I can think of maybe 3 lads that play RL only and don't play union. There were some more but they have stayed with us to play union as well.
I understand you have to apply to join the NCL and meet the criteria (but that is a different subject)
But having leagues in the NE, London, Scotland, Midlands playing march to September with natural chance of promotion would to me be progress, but if the leagues only run May to August with part time players this to me is not the game expanding
This is what happens in RU and Football
It runs April to August up here but yes you are right it's not really expanding, and I don't think it will in the North East. In my opinion League will have to be content with playing second fiddle to union, it pains me to say that but I'm afraid that is the harsh truth. To that end I just enjoy League while I can through the summer months.

Rugby League would not exist in my region if were not for summer rugby. Union is dominant and League is played in the union off season with a slight overlap of maybe 1 or 2 weeks.
Go and get a few tips from Rob Laverick up the road at Peterlee
You never fail until you stop trying
I know Rob, they've done a great job at Peterlee as said above.
I would suspect the few players who like RL and are good at it may be tempted to go to Peterlee to progress their standard of play
Peterlee is 40+ miles away from Darlington so a bit of a travel 2-3 times a week.
I'm not surprised that you know Rob and appreciate his efforts, for me he should be in the New Years honours
He was the first person I contacted a couple of years ago when I wanted to play League, way before we set up our own side at Darlington. Unfortunately I didn't play for Peterlee due to the distance and joined a team closer to home. However, Rob has give me and some other guys at our club some great advice, decent guy.

I take my hat off to people like you who struggle to keep the RL flag flying in areas like yours and I do apologise for appearing negative
I may say looking at the Midlands RL website that for all the years the league has been going it is very slow progress, not many teams and I do not see how a season running from May to August is progress, with some teams only playing 2-4 fixtures, in my view are the union lads just using it as a way of keeping fit
That is unless the website is not up to date
The top 4 clubs (Coventry, Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton) have progressed from the MRL to a higher level where they do play a longer season (though of those teams Northampton Demons are taking a step back to the local league) so there has been progress at the top end. I agree RU off season isn't as good as full season expansion though. Believe me the game is head and shoulders above where it was 5 years ago but unfortunately the junior game took a massive turn for the worse last season (a mixture of loss of Sport England money plus the creation of an academy taking the best players)
Edited January 5, 2014 by bowes
I totally agree with your comments, Rob seems to be a lad who would offer help in any way that he could. All the best with your club at Darlington I'll keep an eye on your results and any news in your neck of the woods

I'm in the north east, we have 22 clubs. I'm not sure how the long the NERL has been going however I am told in recent weeks:-
"At the North East Rugby League AGM in November it was unanimously passed that North East Rugby League would become an RFL Member League. As part of this the current structures would dissolve and a new North East Management Group would be formed, consisting of a Chairperson and 3 club representatives, as well as 2 members from the RFL."
I am pretty sure that the majority of clubs in our region are made up from mainly Union lads who wish to continue playing through summer. Our own club, Darlington, is a dual code club but our League side is made up mainly our union lads. However all of us including the union lads do take it seriously and don't just treat it as "something to do in summer". In our first season last year we won the league leaders shield so that is encouraging for us going into this year. A big advantage we have is that we have the full backing of the union club and we are not a league side renting facilities from a union club, we are a dual code club.
thats good until RL starts to become the main team....I have seen this with RL and soccer , dual club etc....until the soccer had a couple of relegations and the RL is in the top division. ..then the infighting starts....the latest is the RL team are more successful and want the better pitch!
Don't see how that could happen at our club. We have 5 pitches, 3 of which are a good standard. Also it's the same lads playing both codes so there couldn't be any infighting.
Give the lads a chance, they should be encouraged not given a doom and gloom scenario. Just look at the way Peterlee has developed as a club over the past decade or so.

Reality is starting to bite , one of our leading clubs as found the move in playing seasons is having a negative effect financially .
For the first time in the clubs history they could not generate enough interest for their Xmas social and Xmas party for the kids .
henage 629
Don't think playing numbers/helpers is just an issue with amateur rugby , local football team that plays in a Yorkshire wide league plus has a team in the local league and a social team has struggled with numbers right through the season , son could have played for any number of local cricket clubs during last summers matches , massive problems with numbers right through grass roots sport
Bob8 5,039
Speaking as someone who works in an extreme expansion area, I do not believe players when they say they want to play regular games. What they want to a game every week so that they can pick and choose which ones they turn up to, and expect clubs to spread themselves as thin as possible to meet that.
There is something to be said for playing less frequently and making players book the time..

That's dead right. Our league had several gap weeks last year and the players said it worked really well for them. Interesting reading an article in the latest 40-20 where David Gent says the RFL's stats are showing that August is the worst month for player unavailability. Our experience of early August every year would support this.
Nottingham Outlaws RL - nottinghamrl.co.uk
Nottingham Trent University RL - ntu.nottinghamrl.co.uk
University of Nottingham RL - uon.nottinghamrl.co.uk
That is not ground breaking news though is it , correct me if I am wrong but is that that the most popular month for going on holiday no matter where you live in the Uk .
So we did not need a survey from the RFL to tell us that did we ?
The traditional season took that into account or did it not , so are we now beginning to hear the pennies starting to drop ?
We have enough information to suggest that the switch in playing seasons was not the garlic bread the romantics thought it was .
Not be long now before we can start singing from the roof tops " we told you so "
Edited January 14, 2014 by TaxiEgg
Or just have 2-3 weeks break in early August and play in the best weather either side of that? Especially considering that winter teams will play friendlies at the back end of August anyway.

Has that club thought about shifting the party away from Christmas when the club is now out-of-season in order to have a large summer one instead?
Edited January 15, 2014 by GeordieSaint
Move Xmas to summer is that not what the Aussies do lol .
its a valid point though to be fair......why not have a summer party.....weather will probably be just as bad as winter!
The other point regarding august.......isnt December very similar in a winter season....it is the party season after all....usually 2 week break over xmas......then theirs folk who have ski holidays. ......
I would more push for regular free weekends scattered through. That leaves room for two weeks holiday (and does everyone really have two weeks abroad every year?).
Number12 0
For new kids aged 7-12 summer is preferable to winter ; if a child isn't sure about wanting to take up a sport having them out in 5 degree temperatures with freezing hands doesn't help convince them. Unfortunately some kids parents don't wrap them up properly especially until they 'get the bug' and invest in skins etc.
aparently SL in summer would fail.... that was 20 years ago....
then it was semi-pro that would fail after their switch...again many years later they have all improved and are fine....
It will take 10-20 years for the new generation to filter through and will laugh at the thought of being stood out in 0 degrees in the sleet in semi-darkness with the old men around the club telling tales of how they used to play in this and smoke in the clubhouse and changing rooms and all the other anecdotes!

This easy to install high performance racing relay center features Five 40 amp and Five 20 amp relay circuits to make your race car wiring project much easier, and take up less room to boot!
Each relay is individually controlled with either positive or negative activation (your choice) and each one is fused using standard Automotive ATO Blade Fuses, the same type of fuse used in most passenger cars available almost anywhere. It's designed for use in today's race cars that use 12-16 volt systems but it's certainly reliable enough to use in your daily driver as well.
One awesome feature is the visible LED's on the inputs and outputs that indicate if the switch and relay are on, that gives you fast confirmation of circuit activation. Each replaceable relay can be either positive trigger, negative trigger or both can trigger allowing for control of many different circuits and maximum flexibility. This is a big plus when working with other electrical components such as controls for ignition, boost modules and progressive nitrous systems. Each relay also has a snubber circuit to prevent electrical surges on the coil which will protect your sensitive electronics from spikes.
All input and output connections utilized studs with nylock style lock nuts for secure wire connections. The relay board is supported with vibration mounts to isolate it from the mounting platform, this also makes it easy to mount to a flat surface and remove from the front side if necessary.

Q: How to get Autocomplete functionality without a control If you supply a list of strings to an edit control and set the autocomplete mode and source then you automatically get autocomplete functionality. My question is can I get the same functionality in .NET somewhere without a control. In other words I want something like:
string[] ProgressivePartialMatch( string[] Strings, string MatchText )

and so I want the strings back that would have showed up in the autocomplete, so to speak.

A: If you want fast autocomplete, you're going to want to implement a trie.  You can find all the items that start with a particular string by following the trie down until the "starts with" string ends.

A: You can use ajax to get matched items from database (jQuery will fit your needs). And simple javascript (preferably jQuery) for edit control.
The question is why you need this?
P.S. Take a look at this
jQuery Autocomplete and ASP.NET

A: If it doesn't exist, it's easy to write yourself
string[] ProgressivePartialMatch(string[] Strings, string MatchText)
{
    return Strings.Where(s => s.StartsWith(MatchText)).ToArray();
}


The Downtown Boston Business Improvement District (BID) encompasses a 34-block area between Tremont and Congress Streets and Court and Boylston Streets that includes Downtown Crossing, the Ladder District and parts of the Financial District and Theater Districts.
Downtown Boston's strength lies in its diversity. The area is made up of a densely layered collage of commercial and residential buildings; educational, government, and cultural institutions; world-class theaters and a burgeoning restaurant and nightlife scene; public transit; 35 million square feet of office space; and, most important, people from all demographics who fill it with energy.
This vibrant heart of Boston offers an experience of city life at its best. Everything is within walking distance as commerce intersects with leisure. People from near and far enliven the 24-hour neighborhood as they gather to enjoy a meal, shop, meet friends, work or find cultural diversions. For many of them, it's the place they call home.
Boston's colonial leaders once called Downtown Boston home, and the district's residents traded on the wharves and in shops leading from the waterfront. The seat of government was the Old State House at the head of State Street. The main freshwater source for the area gave Spring Lane its name.
Much of downtown's street pattern dates from the 17th century. Contrary to legend, cows did not lay out Boston streets, although many of the streets between Washington and Tremont were once cow paths leading to the Common. Today's Washington Street was the main road in colonial Boston and was lined with buildings at an early date.
By the mid-19th century, the semi-rural area around Washington Street was adapted to commercial uses. The Great Fire of November 1872 destroyed more than 500 buildings in a 65-acre area. Property owners reconstructed the district within several years, often rebuilding in Victorian-era styles. Because the fire stopped at Washington Street, a number of so-called "pre-fire" buildings survive in the blocks between Washington and Tremont streets, such as the Old South Meeting House.
By the late 19th century, early skyscrapers began to make their appearance in Downtown Crossing as retail establishments evolved into major department stores and financial institutions moved beyond their traditional homes in the Post Office Square area.
The turn of the century saw the growth of the theater district that had been concentrated in the area of lower Washington and Tremont streets beginning around 1836. Movie palaces, ornate purveyors of motion pictures, came onto the scene in the 1920s. By 1935, downtown Boston had 40 theaters. Six of them shared the lower Washington Street block that now features the Boston Opera House, Modern Theatre, and Paramount Center. These three restored theater gems offer almost-nightly live performances, films, and dance.
Whether you have to make a quick purchase or are looking forward to a leisurely afternoon of shopping, you'll find everything you need among more than 200 retailers and 300 independent jewelers in Downtown Boston.
With more than 100 restaurants, Downtown can take you from breakfast on the run to a business lunch to a leisurely gourmet dinner. The area has become a favorite dining destination as classic institutions are joined by modern fare.
The lights are always on, and the streets teem with life every evening. Music, dancing, block parties, the latest cocktail craze, or some good conversation at a neighborhood pub: it's all here in Downtown Boston.
The magic of theater, art, music, and film have cast their spell over historic Downtown Boston with the revival of the Theater District, a lively movie scene, galleries, and concerts at lunchtime and in the evenings. And a stroll along the Freedom Trail takes you to some of the nation's oldest institutions, icons of freedom such as the Old South Meeting House, Old City Hall, and the Old State House.
There's always something happening Downtown! Check out our Events Calendar for a complete listing of concerts, shows, markets, and more.
There is no more exciting, vibrant, or convenient place to live than Downtown Boston. From high-rise apartments with breathtaking views, to renovated lofts and student dormitories, there's a place for everyone here.
Learn about why residents love living Downtown by following the links to the left for testimonials from actual residents, available property listings, and things to do once you're here.
Downtown Crossing, the Ladder District, and parts of the Theater and Financial Districts are located in the heart of Boston. As the cultural and economic capital of New England, there is no better place to do business than Downtown. With over 160,000 employees, 8,000 residents, and 13,000 students in downtown Boston, more than 250,000 pedestrians cross through the District each day. The 4.5 million visitors who walk the Freedom Trail each year come to shop, dine, and learn about our history.
Downtown customers bring over $3.1 billion in annual buying power. The residential population is growing fast with over $800 million in planned investments in new mixed-use developments. Downtown Boston has seen more than 60 new retailers and restaurants open in the past three years. And more than $2.4 billion has been invested in renovations, upgrades, and new construction in the past 10 years.

The Downtown Boston Business Improvement District creates a clean, safe, and vibrant environment for everyone who spends time in the area. Our mission is to transform downtown through programs and supplemental services targeting area needs.
From seasonal favorites such as the Downtown Crossing Block Parties and Holiday Market, to newer traditions--like Celebrate Downtown Boston week--the Downtown Boston BID continuously activates the downtown streetscape with lively programming.
"Pause" is the Downtown Boston BID's public art program. Its first installation, "Color Crossing," is an interactive piece by Kate Gilbert and Halsey Burglund. It is going up on the wall at Music Hall Place, the alleyway entrance to the Corner Mall between 15-17 Winter St.

It's official, Uber will start construction this fall on its new fancy headquarters.
The campus will be in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood near the coming arena for the Golden State Warriors basketball team, in the spot Salesforce was going to occupy before it decided to build a big skyscraper downtown instead. It will open in 2017 or 2018, the company tells SF Gate.
"These kinds of companies express more and more interest in building campuses in San Francisco's urban core," a real estate developer told SFGate.
The new 423,000-square-foot headquarters will consist of a six-story building at 1515 Third Street and an 11-story mid-rise at 1455 Third, near Pierpont Lane. Three glass and steel bridges will cross over the pedestrian lane at the heart of the project, which the architects conceived as a kind of glassy multistory commons. Sounds pretty swanky to me. Check out the photos below.

Three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery have been sentenced to life in prison on Jan. 1, 2022. Judge Timothy Walmsley denied Gregory and Travis McMichael — father and son — the possibility of parole.
The judge granted William "Roddie" Bryan the possibility of parole. Bryan is the neighbor of McMichaels' who joined the chase and took the video of the father-son duo killing Arbery.
Courtesy of Steve Devol (Flickr CC0)
Before Judge Walmsley handed down his sentence for the three men, Arbery's loved ones asked him to give the three defendants the harshest sentence possible. They shared memories of the deceased and how his death has taken its toll on their lives with the court.
The victim's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, stated, "Your honor, these men have [chosen] to lie and attack my son and his surviving family, they each have no remorse and do not deserve any leniency." She added, "These men deserve the maximum sentence for their crimes."
A jury found Travis McMichael guilty of nine charges — criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment, false imprisonment, two counts of aggravated assault, four counts of felony murder, and malice murder — on Nov. 24, 2021. He was the man who actually pulled the trigger ultimately leading to Arbery's death.
The jury found the McMichael father guilty of all the same charges except the malice murder charge. They found Bryan guilty of six charges including three counts of felony murder.
Arbery was chased down by the three men on Feb. 23, 2020. The 25-year-old victim ran for his life on foot as the three men chased him down — in their trucks — through the Satilla Shores neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia. It was over two months before the men were arrested for the heinous crimes.

The reason the men were finally arrested was that Bryan released the video he recorded. Later, the footage became a vital piece of evidence in the murder trial. The video fueled a racial justice protest across the United States.
The jury deliberated for two days before coming back with a guilty verdict for the three men. They were taken to Glynn County jail after the verdict was read.
Before Judge Walmsley sentenced the men to life in jail, he held a moment of silence to represent a fraction of the time Arbery was running before he was murdered. The judge called the footage of Arbery having a shotgun aimed at him by Travis McMichael "absolutely chilling."
He added the incident "was callous and it occurred … because confrontation was being sought." Walmsley also quoted statements the three men gave during the trial. He said that their words gave context to the vicious footage and helped to guide his decision in sentencing.
The judge sentenced the men to the minimum penalty required by law for the murder charges. It was also Walmsley's duty to determine whether or not the men deserved a chance of parole.

In fact, this generation has about only 1/20th of the human interaction than previous generations. There is actually less real conversation taking place in the Age of Conversation. Brand-related conversation (word-of-mouth) happens mostly face-to-face, with only 2% of it taking place on social media.
One goal of your marketing plan is to get people to have conversations about you. How do you earn word-of-mouth in the Age of Social Sharing and Connectivity? In Chapter Four of The Marketing Plan Podcast, special guest Andrea Goulet Ford joins us to earn customer conversations through brand engagement.
1. Create a strong foundation -This happens when the organization is aligned through mission statements, core values, understanding your audience by envisioning a fictional character, and understanding your product and service.
2. Keep your message consistent – Knowing your message and documenting so that other people throughout your organization can repeat it.
3. Create a Microcopy -Find tiny places to make your brand come alive and stand out from competitors.
Ultimately, our goal is to have conversations with our brand. But how much conversation does a brand need to have with its customers?
One way to control interaction with a customer, is to give them options. If you send frequent newsletters for example, give customers an area when subscribing to choose the send frequency. This prevents customers from feeling bombarded and gives them some control over interaction.

Yes there is. I've seen a few players that have posted on Twitter that they'll be at Tulane tomorrow. I did notice one is a top rated long snapper, Gabriel Pugh of Tuscaloosa, for whatever that's worth.
That's a few names I saw. Not sure what position Porter plays.
Here the latest QB offer: Terrance Gipson, of Westfield HS in Spring, TX.
#19 on this impressive list.
#5 on the list has to make a tough decision for the good of Tulane Mens Basketball at the end of the season.
Why wait? Like many others I'm sick of sitting there and watching bad basketball and having to wonder if they will even make a change. Just do it and give us some bit of hope for the future.
Wait for the players sake. If we fire him now, what's to say the half dozen or more players that are going to leave when we fire Dunleavy don't do so mid season as well? It's not just about the fans, it's about the players, too. And we're going to lose most of them, and probably all of the recruits as well. We're going to get worse before we get better, and don't want to put a team of walk-ons on the floor for the conference schedule.
Besides, this is Tulane. We don't do that.
Nobody is leaving mid-season. Plus most have nowhere to go but down. As for recruits if they keep hearing TV announcers saying we have no idea what Tulane's attempting to do on offense that hurts a whole lot more. As for recruiting what we have coming isn't much. The one guy some are going on about is 6'9" and has averaged around 6 points a game. That's why the big schools got off of him when his offensive game didn't show marked improvement. Then we have the guy from England at 6'11" averaging around 2 points a game in JC. So like I said give us fans some hope. And no they won't do it but we need to vent and they need to hear it.
A recruiting class like is just one more reason to fire Dunleavy, sooner rather than later. No wonder we can't win a game.

The first thing to say is that I bought my Lian Li PC-O11 case with the intention of air cooling but stupidly failed to realise you cant fit decent air coolers in it. I tried AIOs but found them to be too noisy. This led me to deciding to try my first ever custom loop.
I blindly followed the advice of others about what radiators to choose which is why i have a 30mm and a 60mm, both hardware labs. The 60mm is a problem.
And no, i cant blame the guy for this, it's ultimately down to me to choose the right components.
The 60mm is a multiport which i thought would be useful when mounting the radiator on the floor of the case so i could attach a drain port and whatnot. I quickly realised that with the fans attached there would only be about 5mm between the fans and the GPU. I've no choice but to mount it on the top.
As you can see it doesn't sit flush with the case because of the sodding plugs in the top two ports. I can just about thread the screws in but no where near 100% without warping the thin metal of the case.
I can juuuuuust about managed to get a bendy tube in the top of the res to fill it.
Apologies for the crappy paint skills in the picture below showing the whole system and loop order.
I've already bought a ton of soft tube fittings and Mayhems tube and as things currently stand the tubing runs are going to look properly hideous. I might have to buy some 90 degree fittings and extensions to help get the tubing over and around the fans (i've only installed one fan on each rad for loop planning but i do have three fans for each rad).
I suppose i could try and return the 60mm rad but in another act of stupidy and i've already flushed it with vinegar and water, who knows if they (not OCUK) will be able to tell and refuse the RMA.
Push pull fans on the top rad should solve the top spacing issue with the unused port on the rad.
The flow should be reversed.
Pump outlet/ front rad/ gpu/ cpu/ top rad/ back to pump inlet.
yeah, put intake push fans on the top. You could get out the Dremel tool and remove some of the case above the plugs if you just had to keep the radiator above the fans, but intake push fans on top would be so much better. And don't worry about running the top radiator as inlet, cool air over the radiator is what you want, just put an exhaust fan in the back and call it good. Think about a car radiator - cool air -> radiator -> hot engine. Nobody worries about the hot air from the radiator blowing on the engine and overheating it. And it seems intuitive to have the top rad as exhaust, hot air rising and all, but hot air isn't going to rise much in a case with an exhaust fan on the back and cool air over the rad is better than warmish air over the rad.
That should give you enough clearance to fill. EKWB also makes multi-port reservoir tops that you can buy separately, which might make things easier for you as well if you don't want to use the pump top inlet.
For your radiator, you might need to get new screws from a hardware store but make sure that the screws aren't long enough to puncture through the channels in the radiator. These radiators don't have a mechanism to prevent you from doing that.
HWL labs should have a protector to prevent this. Also the solution to longer screws is to ether cut them to custom length yourself, easy enough to do with a Dremel, or buy some washers to make up the extra length.
Welcome to water cooling. You learned the first lesson, you can only plan so much until you get everything and actually set it all up, At that point the plan is out the window. It only took me 2 and half months to finish my loop, plans be dammed.
If able it's always better to buy more and not need it then not have it when you need it.
Take out the dremel and make some place for those 2 stop fittings?

agreed, I have been water cooling for 20 years, and I still have never been able to get everything I need for the build, before I actually tried to build it. weather it be getting the wrong length of bolts, or just forgetting that one extension wire, their is always something, that I still need to get. this upgrade took me a little over two months to complete, and I thought I had everything I needed before I started.
Thanks for the advice guys its much appreciated.
With the top rad my only idea was to buy some thick washers as mentioned above, probably need longer screws though.
You could add more holes for the pump reservoir combo where ever so it doen't need to be mounted on top of a fan.
