Occupy the White House
The Bernie Sanders campaign is the next phase of a movement that started eight years ago in Zuccotti Park.

Eight years ago on a Saturday morning in September, a few hundred New Yorkers marched to Manhattan's financial district and set up a defiant encampment on Wall Street's doorstep.
Three years earlier, millions of Americans had lost their savings, their pensions, their jobs, or their homes in the 2008 financial meltdown. Yet no major Wall Street executives went to prison for their role in the debacle. Indeed, the loudest proponents of market liberalization and financial deregulation—the very policies that led to the crash—used the catastrophe to consolidate their own wealth and power.
Despite this institutional failure to hold anyone accountable for the 2008 financial meltdown or address the causes of one of the worst recessions of all time, no one in the professional political class saw Occupy Wall Street coming. The movement's unlikely explosion shocked the political establishment. GOP strategist Frank Luntz said he was "frightened to death" of the effort. House majority leader Eric Cantor decried the "growing mob" of Wall Street protesters.
Meanwhile, Democratic Party leaders scrambled to figure out how to relate to a movement that was picking a popular fight with corporate power that party elites had been avoiding for decades.
For 30 years, Democrats parroted Republican talking points about "free trade" and "welfare reform." They failed to muster a coherent counterstrategy to the GOP's dog-whistle racism and culture war, passed devastating trade deals like NAFTA, and marched in line on the disastrous Iraq War. They turned a blind eye as big money corrupted the American political system and finance capital rewrote the rules of the economy. For decades, the party's leaders neglected to fight visibly and vocally for everyday working people—urban and rural, white, black, and brown—who had once been the party's core base.
Barack Obama ran a remarkable insurgent campaign in 2008, outmaneuvering first the Democratic Party's old guard in the primary, then beating McCain and the GOP. But rather than holding on to that anti-establishment momentum, Democrats squandered one of the biggest opportunities in the party's history. Within the first weeks of the Obama administration, culpable bankers and Wall Street executives could have been paraded in handcuffs before the American people. The president and Democrats in Congress could have called out the unfettered greed of Big Insurance and Big Pharma to frame a popular health care fight. But instead of challenging powerful culprits, the Obama administration opted to appease them, packing the new administration with Wall Street executives and making backroom deals with the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
Unsurprisingly, the GOP pivoted into full-throttle obstructionism, combined with fomenting and harnessing racism against the nation's first black president, before he was even sworn in. This posed a serious challenge to the new administration.

But the job of a political party is to outmaneuver opponents and overcome obstacles. The fact that Democrats didn't, despite a clear mandate, control of every branch of government, and popular support, is indicative of what's fundamentally wrong with their approach to politics.
By abandoning the populist spirit that had just won them governing power, Democrats left a vacuum that conservatives filled with haste. Ironically, after years of conservative attacks against the institutions that once gave voice to working people, it was the radical right, via the Tea Party, that was initially able to consolidate dissatisfaction with the status quo into political power following the crisis.
Despite the fact that it was largely funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, the Tea Party managed to claim the mantle of anti-establishment politics in a moment when the nation's mood was profoundly anti-establishment. Critical to the Tea Party's credibility as political "outsiders" was running an open insurgency against GOP incumbents; their biggest takedown, House Speaker Eric Cantor. And key to the Tea Party's numerous victories was keeping Democrats and the Obama administration on constant defense in a time when the latter were positioned to accomplish New Deal–scale reforms.
It wasn't until the fall of 2011, nearly three years later, as the Tea Party's momentum was waning, that a few hundred audacious young people set up camp in Wall Street's backyard. They did something the old-guard Democratic Party had refused to do; they named the real culprits of the economic crisis: the rigged financial system, corporate oligarchs, and the bought-and-paid-for politicians that were doing the latter's bidding.
Then, in 2016, populist strains that grew out of the Tea Party and Occupy movements reemerged in two presidential campaigns—those of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders—representing two profoundly different visions for America.
The Democratic establishment understood Bernie Sanders about as well as it understood Occupy Wall Street. Senator Sanders had been fighting for the 99 percent long "before it was cool." For decades, as elites declared that there was no alternative to unfettered capitalism, Sanders stood up for working families and exposed the rapacious greed of powerful corporate interests.
Unlike Sanders, Democratic leadership shied away from popular fights with Wall Street and giant corporations, ceding populist territory that Donald Trump was able to exploit. And the DNC helped stack the deck against Bernie in favor of a candidate who epitomized the out-of-touch political class. Donald Trump campaigned on a gamble that a candidate with an enthusiastic base could defeat a candidate with an ambivalent one. His narrow victory in 2016 proved that it was possible, and shows why Sanders is such a formidable threat to Trump in 2020. (Full disclosure: I am married to the national field director of the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign.)
First, Sanders has a huge base of support. His political momentum is organic, and not just a reaction to Trump. This will be essential for going head-to-head with an opponent who so masterfully manipulated the media environment in 2016, to the point where Democrats mostly acted as unwitting reactive characters in Trump's script. Even more important, Sanders's approach to politics is laser-focused on bringing disaffected Americans into the political process.
The Bernie 2020 campaign has already activated hundreds of thousands of supporters, boasting the largest number of volunteers and small donors of any campaign. It's not even close: In its map of campaign donors, The New York Times had to make two versions, one including Sanders's donors and another not, in order to be able to view the other candidates relative to one another.
Bernie's path to victory does not involve cozying up to the people at the top. He's not holding fancy fundraisers in the Hamptons, or promising wealthy donors that "nothing would fundamentally change" when he is elected president—as Joe Biden recently did. Sanders understands that when politics becomes an exclusive clubhouse, it's up to everyday people to bust down the door. When he calls for a "political revolution," he means it.
This is the heart of what sets Sanders apart from every other candidate, even those who embrace many of his policies. Sam Adler-Bell recently explained the difference between Elizabeth Warren's "I have a plan for that" mantra and Bernie's "Not me, us" ethos. The key is that "Warren's plans can be presented as the product of elite expertise," whereas "Bernie's outward allegiance to popular movements over political elites is a provocation in a way Warren's appeal to 'the best policies' is just not."
We need those popular movements to win. The reality today is that Americans can't get good policy without a powerful force applying pressure from the outside. Everyone knows the GOP will fight tooth and nail to defeat any policy that would protect workers, rein in Wall Street, or tax the wealthy. Considering the well-oiled machine of GOP obstructionism of the past 10 years, it is beyond naive to imagine any Democratic administration accomplishing anything meaningful in the absence of a massive organized force that is applying consistent grassroots pressure.
Sanders's policy proposals have changed the terms of Democratic debate. But he also understands that it's just not enough to have good proposals. The reason that government has failed working people for the past four decades is not some shortage of good policy ideas. It's not even that our elected leaders have lacked political courage (though for the most part they have). The fundamental reason is that working people have lacked political power.
There's only one campaign with a plan to confront this central problem, only one campaign that has demonstrated an ability to inspire and organize a massive enthusiastic base of millions of voters, small donors, and volunteers, predominantly from the working class. And that's the campaign of Senator Sanders. Bernie's strategy is to organize working people into a formidable political force. He understands that whatever the problem, whatever the crisis, no policy plan is worth a damn if it's not built upon the cornerstone of people power.
And it's working.
Sanders is winning key swaths of voters who are essential to Democrats' taking back the White House. Most obvious is Sanders's overwhelming popularity among younger voters. What about voters of color though? Despite a media narrative about his supposed struggle to court such voters, a recent Pew Research poll found that Sanders is the only top-tier candidate whose supporters are majority (51 percent) people of color. And poll after poll show Sanders's support to be overwhelmingly from working-class voters, a demographic that used to be the Democratic Party's center of gravity.
The question is: Will the old-guard Democratic Party mess it up again? There's reason for optimism. Today, thanks to a new generation of political candidates and office holders, Sanders is no longer a lone voice in the political wilderness. In 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously ousted 20-year Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley by elevating the interests of working people and calling out the predations of the ruling class. Ocasio-Cortez was sworn in alongside several other progressive freshman House members who have brought with them unprecedented diversity, dynamism, and popular support from young people.
"That's like five people," Speaker Nancy Pelosi said dismissively, trying to diminish the rise of the insurgents. But it's hard to deny that "the Squad" and hundreds of newly elected progressives at every level of government across the country have become the locus of momentum and vision in today's otherwise milquetoast Democratic Party.
Eight years ago Occupy Wall Street changed the national conversation and put the "1 percent" on defense. It was an important step, but, of course, Wall Street did not roll over and accede to our demands. Occupy hadn't yet developed the capacity needed to translate its street-level momentum into political power.
So the crisis has only gotten worse. Inequality is even more severe, thanks in large part to the Trump tax cut. Wall Street and billionaires have further consolidated their control over our political system. Campaign finance laws, let alone enforcement, have become a joke.
Occupy gave the country the shared vocabulary of the 99 percent and the one percent. Bernie Sanders is harnessing this profound shift in political common sense, and channeling it into a vehicle for achieving national political power.
Senator Sanders can win because he understands that when you stand up and fight for working people, you give people real motivation to turn out. Millions of Americans believe in Bernie's message: that health care is a human right, that the minimum wage must be a living wage, that college must be affordable, and that we must address the climate crisis and rebuild our economy in the process. By standing up consistently to powerful interests, Sanders is generating enthusiasm from voting blocs that the Democratic Party has been bleeding out for decades. He's building the kind of force we need not only to win the nomination and then the White House, but also to accomplish a bold agenda for working people under a Sanders administration.
Politics is broken. The people who broke it aren't going to fix it. It's up to us to build the next phase of the movement that started in Zuccotti Park. It's up to us to occupy the White House.

The Phillies Nation Top 100: #45 Fred Luderus
The Phillies Nation Top 100 continues today with #45. Our mission is to assess the Top 100 Phillies players of all time using impact to the Phillies, individual achievement, team achievement, traditional stats, and analytics as our criteria. The list was compiled by Ian Riccaboni and Pat Gallen with input from the rest of the Phillies Nation staff.
From this point forward, each weekday, we will reveal two Phillies from the PN Top 100 in separate posts. To view the 2008 iteration of the list of Greatest Phillies of All Time as compiled by Tim Malcolm, please click here.
Please check back tomorrow morning for #44.
#45 – Fred Luderus
Years: 1910-1920
.278/.340/.403, 83 HR, 55 SB in 5304 PA
Previous Rank: 30 (-15)
fWAR Phillies Rank: 30th among position players, 44th among Phillies
Signature Series: Hit .438/.500/.750 with two 2B and a HR in the 1915 World Series
The pride of Three Lakes, WI, Luderus was a fixture at first base on the 1910s Phillies clubs that would be in regular contention for the pennant. Acquired in 1910 for starting pitcher Bill Foxen, Luderus would spend eleven power-filled seasons with the Fightin' Phils. The trade would end up being one of the best in Phillies history as, with the aid of the short right field porch at the Baker Bowl, Luderus would appear in the Top 10 in the NL in homers from 1911 through 1919, finishing second in batting average and slugging in the pennant-winning 1915 season.
Luderus retired with several Phillies records for first baseman, including being the clubs' all-time leading home run hitter at first (82), as well as the leader in runs, RBI, and slugging, beating out such Phillies notables as Kitty Bransfield and Klondike Douglass before him. Luderus would be just about the only Phillie to show up in their first appearance in the Fall Classic in 1915, hitting the club's first World Series homer as well as batting .438/.500/.750, leading the team in every triple-slash category, as well as doubles, homers, and OPS. Luderus was one of the earliest in a line of boppers at first for the Phillies and ranks among the teams' best first baseman in history.

Virginia Eye Consultants CEO: 'I don't know how we could have done it'
Virginia Eye Associates has raised $7 million from private equity firms to expand its business and expand its market.
The investment will help Virginia Eye expand to more states, said Virginia Eye CEO Dr. Michael Houghton in a statement.
"I'm so excited about this opportunity to serve our customers in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the entire world," he said.
"I've been a passionate advocate of the VA health care system for many years, and I believe this investment will have an even greater impact in the years to come."
Houghton will remain chairman of Virginia Eye, and his wife will remain CEO, the company said in a news release.
Houghtons $3.9 billion stake in the company came as Virginia Eye announced it was raising $7.8 million from investors to expand into New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
Virginia Eye has been criticized for its lack of transparency on its security procedures and how it treats patients.
A 2014 report from the Government Accountability Office said Virginia Eyes policies were lax.
A 2016 study from the same GAO found Virginia Eye had an overburdened and underfunded system, according to the Associated Press.
The GAO concluded Virginia Eye did not have enough staff to handle the growing demand for its care.
The GAO also said Virginia's Medicaid program is too expensive.

How to protect yourself from hackers
Hacker attacks have become a major threat for both companies and governments.
But one cybersecurity consultant says hackers are just as likely to try to compromise your personal data if they know you have one.

How to make sure your company's marketing budget is on the right track
This is the third time we've tackled the question of who can and can't do business on Reddit, and we're now ready to tackle who can do it well.
Reddit has an enormous potential, and it is only the beginning.
It has been the most visited site on the web since 2014, and its user base has grown by more than three million people in just the last 12 months.
It is the most popular social network on the planet, with more than one billion unique visitors per month, and is the largest destination for web search traffic in the world.
Its influence in the advertising industry is immense.
And, with nearly three million subreddits dedicated to Reddit-related topics, it is perhaps the most influential site on earth.
Reddit is a massive platform with millions of users, and millions of posts on Reddit.
Reddit has been called the Facebook of the internet, with over 50 million users and over 1.6 billion pages, and as a result, it has a huge audience of users.
And with its immense reach, Reddit has enormous power.
But it has been increasingly criticised over the past few years, with allegations of inappropriate advertising and harassment of employees.
Reddit is currently the subject of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation into its advertising policies, which have been criticised by several groups, including the Campaign for Real Democracy, Reddit's parent company Reddit Inc and many other organisations.
The FTC has accused Reddit of running a $2bn-a-year advertising network on its platform, and has already launched a campaign to try and remove the platform's advertising from Google AdSense.
This will be a huge step for Reddit, as it will mean that Reddit's ad revenue from AdSense will be much more transparent.
Reddit also faces the risk of losing the Reddit Gold and Reddit Gold Plus features that many advertisers want, which can result in lower ad revenue.
In this interview with BBC Sport, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian discusses how the site has managed to remain a profitable business, and the future of its platform.
Reddit is an incredible opportunity in the tech industry, and in this interview we talk to Alexis Ohani about how Reddit has managed its growth and how Reddit can be a positive example for the industry.

Apple Releases OS X Leopard 10.5.4 Update
By Christian Zibreg 01 July 2008
Cupertino (CA) - Apple has posted the update 10.5.4 for its Mac OSX Leopard operating system.
Cupertino (CA) - Apple has posted the update 10.5.4 for its Mac OS X Leopard operating system. The company promises that the update delivers security, reliability and performance enhancements, as well as the code to support the upcoming MobileMe online service that is set to debut on July 11. The company also released security updates for Tiger client and server versions, as well as the Safari 3.1.2 update for Tiger.
According to Apple, the software "includes general operating system improvements that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac." The download is available through OS X's Software Update mechanism or as a free download from Apple's web site, weighing 88 MB for users who already run their Mac on the 10.5.3 update.
Besides 10.5.4 Leopard update, Apple has also released the Security Update 2008-004 for Mac OS X Tiger and Tiger Server (both Intel or PowerPC). These updates replicate the security fixes featured in 10.5.4 Leopard updates so that both systems are one level in terms of security. The patch includes protection against vulnerabilities in major system components, such as CoreTypes, Dock, SMB File Server, Ruby on Rails interpreter and Webkit.
Additionally, the company has updated Safari on Tiger to version 3.1.2, fixing a serious issue in the open-source WebKit browser engine that powers Safari. The problem could allow malicious JavaScript programs to allow running potentially dangerous code through the browser or crash the browser. The Leopard 10.5.4 update also addresses the same WebKit issue under Leopard. Windows XP and Vista users already have access to Safari 3.1.2 for Windows since June 19.
Plugging Leopard security holes
Leopard 10.5.4 update includes all recent security updates released between Mac OS X 10.5.3 and the new update. The 10.5.4. update resolves issues with several system and third-party applications, such as saving and re-opening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server. It adds additional RAW image support for several digital camera models, improves L2TP VPN client reliability, solves AirPort reliability issues when on 5 GHz 802.11a and 802.11n networks and Logic Studio or MainStage problems with AirPort. The update also delivers many fixes to the system's iCal calendaring application that is now more reliable, with several new options and user interface improvements available.
Changes to the Safari web browser address a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages or issues that may arise if a user accesses web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card. Spaces and Exposé features that handle virtual desktops and windows management also received minor tweaks. Switching from a space with a Finder window now keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space. Also, dragging an application from the list of application assignments in the Spaces System Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space. A problem with Exposé that may result in only a subset of windows being shown is resolved as well, Apple said.
Important pre-requisite for MobileMe
Besides the regular slew of security, reliability and performance improvements, this update is widely believed to contain the code necessary to support Apple's new MobileMe suite of online services for Mac, PC and iPhone users that will replace the aging .Mac service. Dubbed "Exchange for the rest of us", MobileMe is a $99 a year service that comes with 20 GB of storage space shared between all services, including push email, contacts, calendar and photos, web galleries and online file sharing. These services can be accessed through a Web 2.0 web interface that looks and feels like a desktop application.
MobileMe seamlessly synchronizes personal information (contacts, calendars and email from Outlook on a PC or Mail/iCal/Address Book on a Mac) between any number of PCs, Macs and iPhones so that everything is up to date, all the time. MobileMe is set to debut on July 11, the same day as iPhone 3G. Apple is already transitioning some user .Mac user accounts from its @mac.com name space to the new MobileMe @me.com name space.

It appears as if the patriot hacker known as The Jester (th3j35t3r) may have embarked on his own psyops campaign aimed at breaking the spirit of the troops loyal to Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
Having conducted several interviews with the hacktivist, and spent dozens of hours in IM chats, I would venture to say that his motivation probably stems from his patriotism and oft expressed concern for the lives of European and American military personnel who may be in put harm's way if the conflict in Libya persists.
Based on the contents of the planted articles, it seems the operation is intended to simply erode the morale of the Gaddafi loyalists and inspire some to either desert their posts or defect and join the opposition.

(If I set this to 0, this will show up as my first column)
The problem is when I have multiple columns, If I change the displayIndex of 1 of them, all other displayindexes get updated since every column must have a unique value.
This now means that the displayindex != the integer value to which it should be bound..
Any idea how I can update my variables in my datacontext to the exact value of the displayindex?

A: You're not setting Mode=TwoWay in your binding and thus when you move columns around they don't update the backend. I think adding that will solve the issue.

A: In your case it's just wrong index, in my case there may be crash. I did a lot of investigation on this to find out the root cause and work around, just put here in case anyone really need TwoWay bind in display index (which is my case).
Root cause:
When we set several display index data grid will apply them one by one. And every time data grid applied one index, it need modify other indexes to make sure all the indexes together are valid, and two way binding will give this value back to viewmodel, which will end up with changed the display order we want, or even get index out of range.
Work around:
There are some problems with the last work around, I'm working on a customer binding with mode OneTime and OneWayToSource, which will solve this. Will update here after done.

Biomimetic phosphorylcholine polymer grafting from polydimethylsiloxane surface using photo-induced polymerization
Tatsuro Goda, Tomohiro Konno, Madoka Takai, Toru Moro, Kazuhiko Ishihara
The biomimetic synthetic phospholipid polymer containing a phosphorylcholine group, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), has improved the surface property of biomaterials. Both hydrophilic and anti-biofouling surfaces were prepared on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with MPC grafted by surface-initiated photo-induced radical polymerization. Benzophenone was used as the photoinitiator. The quantity of the adsorbed initiator on PDMS was determined by UV absorption and ellipsometry. The poly(MPC)-grafted PDMS surfaces were characterized by XPS, ATR-FTIR and static water contact angle (SCA) measurements. The SCA on PDMS decreased from 115° to 25° after the poly(MPC) grafting. The in vitro single protein adsorption on the poly(MPC)-grafted PDMS decreased 50-75% compared to the unmodified PDMS. The surface friction of the poly(MPC)-grafted PDMS was lower than the unmodified PDMS under wet conditions. The oxygen permeability of the poly(MPC)-grafted PDMS was as high as the unmodified PDMS. The tensile property of PDMS was maintained at about 90% of the ultimate stress and strain after the poly(MPC) grafting. The surface-modified PDMS is expected to be a novel medical elastomer which possesses an excellent surface hydrophilicity, anti-biofouling property, oxygen permeability and tensile property.

Doom creators have put a pause on their new game Blackroom
By Maria Gabriela Méndez / Saturday, 30 Apr 2016 02:21PM
John Romero and Adrian Carmack are game developers most known for their game franchise that includes Doom and Quake. The duo had created a Kickstarter campaign for their new game Blackroom under the production of Night Work Games, however, they announced that the campaign has to be put on hold.
Fans of Romero's and Carmack's franchise had stated the excitement for the new game. The fundraising campaign was estimated at $700,000 to create the game and in a couple of weeks, the team had already collected $131,052 and 2,287 backers.

According to the team Blackroom is a first person perspective game (FPS) that returns to a "fast, violent and masterful play on the PC" says the game's Kickstarter page.
The game takes place in a distant future at a site of one of the leading technology companies named "Hoxar" the company was able to develop a technology that allowed humans to be anywhere with their holographic reality.
All of the different universes and world from the holographic reality are inside on the giant blackroom. The game starts when a glitch in the technology happens and people of the city start seeing different things and the dimensions merge with each other.
The main character is Santiago Somora an engineer sent to fix the blackroom's glitch, who nearly loses his life when the glitch in the system affects him. He will have to fight in different blackroom's environments to figure out what's wrong.
Gamers will be able to play in different multiplayer modes that include: co-op, 1-on1 deathmatch and a mix of different locations that include "hardcore military sims, hellish infernos, and interstellar space" says the team's Kickstarter page.
With different skills that include rocket jumping, strafe jumping and circle strafing along with a full set of weapons gamers will be merged into the new game.
A pause on Blackroom
Creators announced that the Kickstarter campaign has been put on hold since they need to complete the gameplay demo.
"Simply put, this will take more time than the Kickstarter has left, so we've decided to suspend the campaign and launch a new one when the gameplay demo is ready. We believe, however, it is the right choice" Said the team in a statement on their Kickstarter page
The team thanked the backers and the people who had already donated to the campaign while telling them that they will be achieved with honor backer prices for the next campaign.
The demo is expected at the end of the year.

A Remake of The Crow?… Absolutely Not.
February 18, 2017 · by rustysoapbox	· in Article.	·
It has come to my attention that a remake of The Crow is imminent. I would like to make my position of The Crow (1994) very clear, I fucking love this film. To me, it is the
greatest work of art in cinematic history and it will remain my favourite film forever. So given my position, I am positively outraged that this abomination of a film
is even being considered and that someone thought it was a good idea.
The idea of doing a remake of The Crow has actually been around for a while. The film has been wallowing in development hell for nearly 10 years, partly because every lead actor
and director kept dropping out of the project. Firstly, Stephen Norrington (Blade) was all raring to go with writing and directing, then dropped out. After that, Juan Carlos
Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) stepped in to direct, then stepped out. Next up was F. Javier Gutierrez (Before The Fall) to come on board to direct and now he is an executive producer. The actual director is now Corin Hardy (The Hallow) who was brought on board, fired and then brought on board again.
So what about the actors who were all set to play the doomed rock star Eric Draven. Mark Wahlberg was in the mix for a while, so was Bradley Cooper, and Luke Evans, then Jack
Huston and now the guy that is in the lime light is a bloke called Jason Momoa. Know him? Nope, nor do I. Apparently he was in Game of Thrones and he plays Aquaman in some films. Quite frankly, with this many actors and directors who have dropped out, maybe they should have taken this as a sign that this film shouldn't be made.
Let's go back to my one rule about remakes. Remakes are only acceptable if the original had some good ideas but were maybe hampered by financial issues or technical issues. This is not the case. I watched The Crow again when I heard of the coming remake and I made a list of a few core elements that this new one couldn't possibly improve.
Set in Detroit, the film has a very dark and grungy atmosphere which is in keeping with the dark subject matter of the films plot. It's also mostly set at night and is raining all
the time. The atmosphere also carries the theme of this area of the city which is run by Top Dollar who is charge of the gang that kill Eric and Shelly. The sets have a very
industrial vibe along with a nightclub called 'TRASH' and a bar called 'The Pit'. The back alleys are littered with bin fires to keep the homeless warm. Even the flats are very
downtrodden to give the sense that this is a poor area of the city. All of this sets the stage for Eric to enact his revenge.
The first film had a phenomenal soundtrack and score with songs such as Nine Inch Nails cover of 'Dead Souls' which was originally done by Joy Division. Throughout the film,
one piece of dialogue is spoken by Eric 'It can't rain all the time'. This is a reference to the band that the character is in 'The Hangmans Joke' in which he is the front-man and one of the their songs is 'It can't rain all the time'. So of course over the credits, 'It Can't Rain All the Time' by Jane Siberry is played. Also, The Cure agreed to write a song for the film and it's called 'Burn' which is played whilst Eric transforms himself into The Crow. The film contains spectacular orchestral pieces which are played throughout emotional and powerful sequences. Two of my favourites are the scene where Eric says goodbye to Sarah in the cemetery and when Eric comes back to his flat and relives his final moments.
The Writing
In my opinion, The Crow contains some of the best dialogue between characters that I have ever witnessed. The characters are well rounded and consistent plus there are some
quality one liners delivered by all of the cast. Simply quoting them on this page wouldn't do them justice. As far as these well rounded characters go, some of them do seem a
little eccentric, but in a good way. A prime example would be main villain, Top Dollar (Michael Wincott). He has the classic 'villain' traits what with being charismatic, being
very soft spoken one minute and screaming the next. In his case, his actions speak louder than his words. However, the majority of the fabulous dialogue is left to The Crow
himself with the taunting of his victims. He has a habit of reciting poetry to his pray and even offering words of wisdom. One example that I can think of is when he goes after
Funboy, whose girlfriend is Sarah's mother. She's also a drug addict who has left her daughter on the streets with no one to care for her, except for Shelly and Eric until they
were killed. With a few words from Eric and a quick detox, she is back at home and cooking breakfast for her daughter. One thing that I did notice was that the gang were killed
by the things that they love the most. The knife wielding Tin Tin was killed by his own blades; drug addict, Funboy was killed with a morphine overdose and had a load of needles
stuck in his chest whilst car and fire enthusiast, T-Bird was blown up in his own car. Skank was thrown out of a window but in all fairness, Eric was in a hurry.
There is no point in an amazing script if there are no amazing actors to bring it to life. In the few scenes that they were together for, I have never seen better onscreen chemistry between two characters than with Sofia Shinas (Shelly) and Brandon Lee. Also up for fine praise is Rochelle Davis (Sarah) and Ernie Hudson (Officer Albrecht). Also in the short time they were onscreen but gave a fabulous performance were the actors who portrayed the gang. Michael Wincott (Top Dollar), Lawrence Mason (Tin Tin), David Patrick Kelly (T-Bird), Skank (Angel David) and the late Michael Massee (Funboy) all gave superior portrayals as the Detroit gang that terrorise the citizens and blow up anything in site. Even with a combination of all this talent, special praise needs to go to Mr Brandon Lee whose supreme acting abilities brought forward a character who is vulnerable, sympathetic and a total badass all in one go. This is the role that he is known for and he performed it with great respect and grace.
I have read that this remake will be closer to the graphic novel in concept, rather than an out in out remake of the original film so that would make it a reboot. I will just say that even if that does turn out to be the case, wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper to read the graphic novel? The Crow (1994) diverted somewhat from the graphic novel, giving it
an identity of it's own and an identity well worth watching. The only thing that I can say with some degree of certainty is that any attempt to out-do the original is completely pointless because it will lack what made the original special i.e all of the above. It will be cheaper to buy the original on DVD than to buy a ticket to see a poor imitation of a film that was perfected over 20 years ago.
In summary, I had hoped that a remake of this masterpiece would stay in development hell where it belongs and my words will go unheeded. I will never understand the mentality of remaking something that doesn't need to be remade. The Crow (1994) is solid gold and well worth 90 minutes of anyone's time. I believe that there are certain films that should never be remade and I have stood by and watched as all of my favourite films were butchered and repackaged as something new. This one is the one that hurts. This remake will never live up to the high standards of the original and IF it gets made, I will be the first to tear it to pieces. So there.

According to statistics, half of all adult Americans experience back pain and stiffness each year, quite often having a stiff back in the morning. Most frequently experienced by adults aged between 30 and 50, back pain can also be caused by aging, injury and an inactive lifestyle.
There are a number of reasons why the back can be stiff in the morning, mainly posture and fitness, inadequate mattress and pillow support, arthritis and disease, and incorrect methods of lifting, carrying and sitting in the workplace.
Good posture, with the spine's natural curves maintained within the back, and a correct alignment of ear, shoulder and hip, lessens the risk of back pain. Poor posture, often caused by inappropriate footwear such as high heels or shoes which do not offer support, can pull the pelvis out of alignment and force the lower back to curve excessively. Bad posture is one of the main contributors to morning back pain and stiffness.
The abdominal muscles and the back muscles support the spine almost like a corset. Known as the core muscles, when kept strong they help the spine remain in the correct position and reduce the risk of injury. Weak abdominal muscles may be a reason for morning back pain and stiffness.
If the back is stiff and painful only in the mornings there could be a problem with the bed mattress or pillows not supporting the neck and spine correctly. A firm pillow should be used, low enough not to tilt the head and neck in an unnatural position.
The mattress should also be firm and not curve the spine excessively. If sleeping on the stomach, a pillow placed under the stomach will reduce pressure on the lower back.
A pillow placed between the knees when sleeping on the side will keep the body aligned and prevent the upper leg from rolling back or forwards, twisting the spine. It also relieves pressure on the sacroiliac joint in the pelvis.
Sleeping on your back with a low pillow is one of the best ways to alleviate morning back pain.
Morning-only pain and stiffness can also be caused by arthritis. Taking a hot bath or shower, and gentle movement tend to relieve the stiffness. In this situation it is wise to consult a medical practitioner for a correct diagnosis and appropriate pain treatment. Diseases such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis can also cause back stiffness that eases with movement though other joints are usually affected as well.
Incorrect methods of lifting heavy objects in the work place can cause strain and overuse of back muscles. Sitting incorrectly at a desk with a slumped back and no support for long periods is a prime cause of back pain. It is important to maintain good posture and take exercise breaks to ease pressure on the pelvic muscles and lower back.
A stiff back in the morning may just be due to a cramped sleeping position. It could also be a symptom of poor health, injury and strain. So, asking what causes a stiff back in the morning is an important question. See your healthcare practitioner to rule out serious issues.

Vito Errico and his two siblings founded Equinox in 1990, starting with one gym location in Manhattan and eventually expanding the brand to over two dozen locations.
It was while building the company's first Westchester fitness center that Errico, who grew up in New Jersey, got hooked on the suburbs.
"Our eighth club was in Westchester, and while we were developing it, I fell in love with the area," says Errico, who had been living in Manhattan for 20 years at that point. The family sold their interest in the company in 2006.

After first living in Bronxville — which was a little too crowded for Errico's tastes — he bought a 2.6-acre property in Armonk in 2006 and built a custom, nearly 12,000-square-foot home.
By then, he had small children and says, after doing "due diligence," settled on Armonk for its highly rated schools and proximity to many of the Manhattan amenities the couple had left behind, including excellent restaurants and arts opportunities.
"Even in our town, every restaurant was excellent; the chefs were realizing that the city is bottoming out, so let's go to where all these people are moving to," Errico says.
And he was not interested in a "cookie cutter spec house."
Instead, he worked with Bedford-based Carol Kuth Architecture to custom build a six-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Armonk known as Five Star House.
The property is on the market, listed for $8,888,888 with Houlihan Lawrence.

The size and scale of the rooms signals that this is most definitely a family home. There are no bowling-alley length hallways or super-sized family rooms; instead the spaces, which are many, are modest in size but seem larger due to the generous use of natural materials and huge windows that fill the residence with natural light.
There are separate spaces for each family member — the bedrooms each have lounge and work areas — but the common spaces, which include an eat-in kitchen and great room — were designed for cozy family gatherings.
"Most builders I talked to wanted to go bigger, bigger, bigger," Errico says. "Who needs a living room that's 50 feet wide? It was all about creating comfortable spaces; bigger is not always better."
Natural materials were used inside and out, starting with the exterior clad in wood shingles, fieldstone and granite; inside, there's black walnut, limestone and white oak floors. The home lives like an updated midcentury modern, with floating staircases, walls of stone and architectural panels creating a clean, contemporary feel throughout.
"I am super passionate about this house," Errico says. "When I started to create it, I wanted the feeling that every time I came into my house, I was walking into a hotel or a spa, but it also had to have the feeling I needed to live in with my family."

Given Errico's background, there's a professional quality gym with an indoor sports court. Other amenities include an indoor pool and a spa area covered by a retractable glass ceiling; a stone terrace with an outdoor barbecue and fire pit, a billiards room, wine room and a home theater.

Like many, he and his wife are contemplating a downsizing. Facing an empty nest, he says the couple wants to "go smaller." He hopes to find a buyer with a young family.
"It is a special house," he says, "and we love it, but with my kids moved out and for us to not use some rooms at all, it's terrible. I want to let someone else enjoy it; hopefully someone who has small kids can get to experience what my kids did."

LONDON (REUTERS) - London's bid to continue hosting the season-ending ATP Finals beyond 2020 will face competition from four other cities, the governing body of men's tennis said on Friday (Dec 14).
The ATP said that Manchester, Singapore, Tokyo and Turin were also being assessed along with London in the final phase of the bidding process for the 2021 to 2025 tournaments.
The O2 Arena has hosted tournament to packed crowds since 2009 but, despite the popularity of the venue with fans and players alike, the ATP announced in August that it was inviting bids from other potential hosts.
"The level of interest we have received worldwide throughout the bid application process reflects the rich heritage of this unique tournament," ATP chief Chris Kermode said in a statement.
More than 40 cities worldwide expressed an interest in hosting the tournament, the ATP said, and the successful candidate will be announced in March next year.
The tournament has had a variety of names and host cities since it started in Tokyo in 1970, including a 13-year stint in New York, a six-year stay in Frankfurt and spells in Hanover, Lisbon, Sydney, Houston and Shanghai.
The event features the world's top eight singles players and doubles teams and offered US$8.5 million (S$11.7 million) in prize money this year, when Alexander Zverev stunned Novak Djokovic to win the title.

RUBY SHINES IN BAY CRITS THRILLER
In the women's elite event Ruby Roseman-Gannon has got one hand on the title after taking out the opening stage. The 23-year-old Victorian has started the year with the win, fresh from being announced as a new signing for Australian owned Women's WorldTour outfit Team BikeExchange for 2022 and 2023.
The race activated after twenty minutes with 29-year-old Grace Brown (Lexus of Blackburn) making a move off the front and opening up a 10-second gap over a chasing pack of eight riders including Melbourne to Warrnambool winner Matilda Raynolds (Inform TMX make) Courtney Sherwell (Roxsolt Liv SRAM) and team-mate Roseman-Gannon.
That was shut down at the mid-point of the race, the nine riders maintaining a small gap before it was completely bunched up with three laps to go.
Stage one became a reduced sprint finish with the more polished riders emerging at the front before Roseman-Gannon pounced to beat home Alex Martin-Wallace (Sunshine Coast) and Raynolds.
"I didn't know whether or not I had it in the last little bit there, it was tight around that final corner, but when you've got a rider like Grace Brown riding for you in the Lexus of Blackburn team, she is one of the best riders in Australia you just can't let her down, so I went for it."
The win yesterday helps set her up for a shot at gold at the Road Nationals next week, after finishing on the podium for the last three years without taking the top step.
"Yeh, I think I've got the legs, so I'm hoping I can pull it off in the criterium next week, that's a bit of an itch to scratch for me as I've been close last three years"
Eastern Gardens Geelong is hosting this year's Lexus of Blackburn Bay Crits, with both stages on the same course, clockwise today and anti-clockwise tomorrow - a move that brings several steep rises and long straights into play.
The winner in both the men's and women's events will be crowned tomorrow, with the elite racing starting at 2pm The Bay Crits are live streamed on SBS On Demand and Facebook.
First held in 1989, The Bay Crits has been an innovator over the years - taking the race to the people is what it has always been about. The superstars of Australian cycling cut their teeth in the Bay Crits. Names such as Cadel Evans, Stuart O'Grady, Robbie McEwen, Brad McGee, Baden Cooke and Caleb Ewan and later in the women's Kathy Watt, Anna Wilson, Oenone Wood, Rochelle Gilmore and Tracey Gaudry.
This year our naming rights sponsor LEXUS OF BLACKBURN will help the 'Bay Crits' go GREEN with the lead car a brand-new electric Lexus UX 300e, reducing the carbon footprint of the event and a healthy event now taking on the social responsibility of a healthy globe.
'Pedal Power Meets Electric Power' - With no harmful tailpipe emissions, the UX 300e is helping to protect the planet while maintaining power and performance. On the road, fast-charging DC stations fully charge the vehicle in about 80 minutes. And our launch superstars inspected the new vehicle that will be leading the 'electrifying' racing!


Somerville, MA: I never spent much time there when I lived in Boston, but it is sort of a dystopian Mission District. Baby strollers and dogs mixed with white kids in flannel drinking tallboys. That said, they have some pretty epic street art, especially from one guy "on walls." Enjoy.
That sticker that looks like an old-man-baby hybrid is also all over Cambridge, specifically the bathroom at People's Republik.
Get it right: Jamaica Plain is their Mission, Somerville is their Oakland.
I agree, I moved from the Mission to Somerville, and this place is more like the mission than JP. Not even close.
Um, actually JP is OAK, "Slummerville" is The Mission. I moved here from there – many years ago.
In the days before the Red Line allowed for further gentrification of Davis Square, and before swelling of gentry or upscale proletariat into lower and more freeway-accessible parts, there were (if I may reminisce a bit) many cool and somewhat liminal things about Somerville.
The Rosebud Diner, a diner-car diner and bar, was a cool place to hang out and drink with friends, although for diner food, I preferred a little family-run place a block over on Elm St., I believe now defunct – Phyllis' and Ted's.
There was an old-school newsstand, very narrow and filled with fragrant cigars and papers, near the center of the square, run (as it should be) by a portly, old, cigar-smoking man.
On the square, the old Somerville Theatre was taken over by a collective of young collective-loving folks, some of whom later operated the Red Vic and the York here. These folks also took over a former real estate office a block down on Summer St., kept the old sign, added a very taggy 'i', and called their used bookstore "The Reality Center". At the theatre, where a friend projected for awhile, there was a hole broken through the brick wall and a ladder leading to it from the (permanently closed) upper balcony to the projection room, so the projectionist could enter without risking life and limb on the decrepit wooden back stairs.
The original Steve's Ice Cream was also on Elm St., although it was taken over by Joey, who had an eponymous ice cream shop a bit north in Teele Sq. (which lead to legal conflicts years later when Steve re-emerged with a shop on Mass. Ave. in Back Bay).
At Inman Square, there was an old club gone punk/new wave/no wave called the Inn Square Men's Bar, where local art punk faves Children of Paradise used to play, and where Amy Mann of 'Til Tuesday sometimes ruled (totally). Next to ISMB was the S&S, a truly old-schul Jewish deli with the best potato pancakes and freshest Nova lox, my favorite hangover-cure-breakfast spot (in Yiddish and German, "ess und ess" means "eat and eat!"). On opposite sides of the square were jazz clubs, 1369 Club and Ryle's, where Pat Metheny, and later his less-famous brother Mike used to play (and also my friends in the Klezmer Conservatory Band). There was also for awhile a Chinese restaurant/comedy club where I saw young Jay Leno in the late 70s – really!
Just outside of Inman Square, on the way toward Prospect St., was a very cool lesbian bar called Modern Times, with awesome bartenders, and, for some late-70s/early-80s reason, a selection of healthy non-caffeinated caffeine-imitation beverages. For awhile I was into Caffix and Kahlua sombreros (or gin & tonics), to keep it healthy AND real. A close (hetero male artist) friend of mine used to project ethereal image-based experimental films there on Wednesday nights.
A ways over, toward Kendall Sq., and perhaps officially in Cambridge, there was another diner-car breakfast diner, run by an awesome woman chef whose name escapes me – but a very sweet, cool little place, although it closed by 2 in the afternoon.
Over in Union Sq., the heart of the real Somerville, there was a decent, somewhat elegant but still 'hoody Italian restaurant, and a very tasty and even somewhat elegant (but still cheap!) Chinese restaurant, New Asia, where I used to go with a vegetarian girlfriend who believed that shrimp were not adequately sentient.
I lived for a summer on School St., a few doors down from where my maternal great-grandfather built a house and where my grandfather was born. Afterwards, I lived in a sweet flat on a little dead-end street whose name I can't remember, where my prized 15-speed Peugeot was stolen from the front porch by local hoodlums.
One of my favorite memories of Somerville was wandering through backstreets between Inman and Union Squares on Spring or Summer weekends, when smells of cooking – various ethnicities but often mostly Portuguese – drifted through the air, and one could hear Portuguese spoken at outdoor gatherings at neighborhood family clubs, and pop into a bakery (if it weren't Sunday!) to grab a loaf of soft Portuguese sweetbread. I am sure this experience – and its demographic in their transitional historical moment – are long gone now.
Graffiti was not so plentiful, artistic or humorous as the above in Somerville in those days; you had to go down to Soho, the Lower East Side or the Bowery for that. There was some "street art" around, but nothing terribly interesting (unless you are into the neo-Diego socially-meaningful mural-type stuff), except perhaps for the outside walls of the Western Front in Cambridgeport, which featured realistic black silhouttes of white people trying to dance or standing awkwardly and drinking, against a white background – a subtler-than-muralistic commentary on the neighborhood's vs. the bar's demographics.
It's nice to have the freshness of Mission Mission.
Alot of the places you refer to are still there, and the area between Inman and Union is still very Portuguese and Brazilian. The Brazilian community is especially strong in that area.
This "cool kid" nonsense needs to stop. Trying to whitewash out being a hipster just makes you even more of a hipster… and a far, far douchier one both for the failed attempt to hide it and the lame attempt at coming up with a name that has inherent positive spin.
@Sean Have you ever been to Somerville? Oakland? Hardly.
im no hipster, trust. i hate tight pants, my bike has several gears, i hate emo music and being a sensitive nerd. on walls-on everything.


BAYONNE – Repairs on the wind turbine used to power the city's Oak Street and Fifth Street pumping stations have been delayed until late December, according to the Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority.
BMUA Executive Director Tim Boyle said the part needed to repair the turbine "was further back-ordered" and has been rescheduled to arrive in Bayonne in late December. The turbine was previously set to be repaired as early as this month.
The 260-foot wind turbine, off East Fifth Street, went into operation in June 2012, with city officials touting energy savings of up to $300,000 a year. But it stopped working in June.
Every month that the turbine goes unrepaired costs the city roughly $25,000 in energy savings, Boyle has said. Assuming the turbine is fixed by the end of January, the money lost in energy savings would total about $175,000.
The part needed to repair the turbine – which is estimated to take one to four days to install upon arrival – will cost $298,000, down from the original repair cost estimate of $350,000, Boyle said.
United Water monitors and maintains the windmill under a 40-year deal with the BMUA.
Boyle has said MUA workers detected vibrations coming from the turbine in June and the manufacturer shut off the generator remotely and then sent a representative to inspect it.
Boyle has said he was told these types of generators are supposed to last 20 years. The city got three years out of its generator.

Bill Gates is an American business magnate and computer programmer who is the co-founder of Microsoft, the world's largest PC software company. Since the company's formation in 1975, Gates has held several positions including those of the chairman, CEO and chief software architect. One of the most famous entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution, he has been consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people starting from 1987. Born as the son of a successful lawyer, Bill Gates was encouraged from a young age to be competitive. Bright and curious, he developed an interest in computers while in school and wrote his first computer program as a young teenager. After completing his schooling, he enrolled at the prestigious Harvard College though he did not stay there long enough to complete his studies. He dropped out to pursue his passion in computers and teamed up with Paul Allen, a former schoolmate, to form Microsoft. The company proved to be highly successful and within years Gates became an internationally known entrepreneur. Currently the wealthiest person in the world, he is a renowned philanthropist who along with his wife has created the charity organization "Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation". He has also authored and co-authored several books.
Bill and Melinda Gates jointly received India's third highest civilian honor Padma Bhushan in 2015 for their foundation's philanthropic activities in India.
In 1999, he donated US$20 million to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the construction of a computer laboratory which was named the "William H. Gates Building" in his honor.
In 2010, Gates along with fellow billionaire investors Warren Buffett, and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg signed the "Gates-Buffet Giving Pledge", committing to donate at least half of their wealth over the course of time to charity.
Bill Gates' biggest regret is that he doesn't know any foreign languages.

Church is supposed to be the assembly of the saints, the born again followers of Jesus, where they encourage each other in their walk with the Lord, sharing in what they have received from the Lord, building each other up, both physically and spiritually.
We read in 1 Corinthians 14:26 "What then shall we say,brothers? When you come together, everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church." Note, the church is the PEOPLE, not a building or an organization. The first believers did not gather in church buildings, steeple houses, auditoriums, temples, they gathered in HOUSES. Paul wrote in Romans 16:8 "also greet the church that is in their house." They were persecuted and often met in secret.
That was the REAL church, the assembly of the saints, the called out assembly, of those who were called out of Judaism and became followers of Jesus Christ. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and functioned under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Then the FALSE CHURCH was created by men, the CHURCH INSTITUTION, run and controlled by men. That was NOT the Body of Christ, because they did not submit themselves to Jesus but to the Church Institution and it's leadership. That is the false church that you see in the world today, that has programs, assets, buildings, hierarchies, clergy and all kinds of worldly structures. They are NOT of Jesus Christ, they are worldly institutions. They do not preach nor practice the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They have their own rules and teachings. They twist the Scriptures to suit their own doctrines. They deceive the people and make slaves of the church institution, not disciples of Jesus Christ. They are FAKE, COUNTERFEIT, FALSE, of their father, satan. RUN FROM THEM! They are DANGEROUS. They will TAKE YOU TO HELL.
It is sad but you can hardly find any true disciples of Jesus Christ. Do not look for other born again Christians, look to Jesus. Seek Him. Obey His words, repent and be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin. Seek Jesus with all your heart in prayer. Ask Him to baptize you in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will teach you and guide you into all truth. Jesus will disclose Himself to you. He will speak to you, through His Spirit that He will give in you. Witness for Jesus and you will make other disciples of Jesus.
Salvation is about following Jesus, not about practicing churchianity. Stay with Jesus, until the end and you will have eternal life. Run from churches, they will lead you astray.
