Vontaze Burfict plans to change, continue NFL career in 2020

NFL.com Reporter
Vontaze Burfict says he wants to change.
Oh, he still intends to play his game -- hard, physical, downright intimidating if you've got the ball in your hands as No. 55 barrels down on you. But Burfict's latest suspension cost him the final 12 games of last season, and if he gets another chance, one of the most notorious players of his era knows his next illegal hit may be his last.
At age 29, after eight NFL seasons and over $4 million in fines and salary lost to suspensions, mostly for violating player safety rules, can Burfict be the same, relentless presence without getting in trouble?
"I have to be," Burfict told me by phone this week, in his first public comments since his suspension was quietly lifted on Dec. 30. "I'm a tone-setter. But I can also be a vocal leader, and that's what I was trying to do (last season with the Raiders) before I got suspended -- trying to switch up my image and the way I play, the way people (perceive) me.
"And I'm not going to lie, bro. The first two, three years, everybody was saying, '(He's) the villain.' You guys think I'm a villain? You just go on and live with it. Then, it gets old, when you go out there and some fans think that I'm just out to hurt people. That's not the case."
Set to become a free agent next week, Burfict is back in the Phoenix area, where he starred at Arizona State. He's in a routine now, waking up early to hit a gym near his new house and then going to campus for another workout at night after traffic dies down. He's eating healthy and getting massages. He's varying his training and doing more physical combat boxing, allowing his body to get used to feeling sore again after a layoff of more than five months. He weighed 266 pounds when he stepped on the scale over the weekend and can be at his 255-pound playing weight in no time.
Perhaps more important, Burfict has been speaking to his longtime coach with the Cincinnati Bengals, Marvin Lewis (who's now co-defensive coordinator at ASU), as well as current and former NFL players and others about what he can do to play within the rules. And he has been watching a lot of tape of how other linebackers through recent NFL history have stayed on the right side of the line between physical play and fouls.
"You can tell how the years changed and the years evolved in football from Ray Lewis to Brian Urlacher to now," Burfict said. "You watch Luke Kuechly, Lavonte David, me -- it's a totally different era, and watching how the eras have changed, you've got to change with it."
There are plenty of reasons for teams to be skeptical that things really would be different this time. The over-the-top antics from his younger days with the Bengals -- leading to fines for striking an opponent in the groin, ankle twisting, leg stomping and numerous fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct, among other things -- have abated. Lewis told me "we worked hard on technique" in 2018, their last season together in Cincinnati. But that was the same season the NFL instituted a rule against lowering the head to initiate contact with the helmet, and Burfict was fined multiple times for violating it.
He was four games into his first season with the Oakland Raiders when another violation of that rule -- a helmet-to-helmet hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle in Week 4 -- led to Burfict's unprecedented suspension, which NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan wrote in his disciplinary letter was based in part on Burfict's "extensive history of rules violations."
The Raiders had been effusive in their praise of Burfict's leadership prior to the suspension. Coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr, who told reporters Burfict is "one of the most misunderstood people in the NFL," phoned in to Burfict's appeal hearing to offer their support. (It was swiftly denied by appeals officer Derrick Brooks.) Gruden so respected Burfict's football intelligence, sources said, that he explored hiring him as a coach last season after Burfict's suspension -- an opportunity Burfict says he would've considered if the NFL permitted it, though he says now he wants to keep playing because "I just feel like I still have a long road ahead of me, I'm still young and a lot of things to prove. And I want to win a championship."
When veteran guard Jordan Devey signed with the Raiders the same week as Burfict, he was concerned his new teammate would be a safety hazard in practice. (For good reason; Devey was on the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017, when Burfict leveled fullback Anthony Sherman in a preseason game, leading to a three-game suspension.) He now calls Burfict "one of my favorite teammates," having seen his impact in the locker room as well as on the field.
"There were periods (in practice) that Gruden would do and it'd be Derek vs. Vontaze, and Derek would have free rein of the playbook and Vontaze was just trying to stop it. It was like a battle every single day that they did that," said Devey, who is also represented by Burfict's new agent, Peter Schaffer. "So, he was a leader. He knew what he was doing, first off, and then he was bringing other guys in, and it was so impressive to watch.
"Granted, there were a couple hits where it was like, 'Ooh, you could've pulled off and done it differently.' But knowing how intense he takes the game and how serious he is about it -- he was just playing 100 percent and trying to play football the way that it was meant to be played: hard and fast."
It's not easy to keep hard and fast from becoming too hard and too fast, especially with the way NFL rules continue to evolve to emphasize player safety. Though spearing has long been against the rules, Burfict's hit on Doyle might not even have drawn a flag until a couple years ago, much less an ejection and lengthy suspension.
"You watch every person I come to try to tackle, they duck their head, and my target -- the first thing that happens is I have to duck my head, because why would I want their heads to be going into my sternum?" Burfict said. "So I have to protect myself as well out there. And yes, I'm a (big) linebacker, so when people see me -- what do you do when you see something just flying at you? You duck your head like, 'Oh, s---!' "
In a November interview with The Athletic that he now regrets, Burfict said he didn't think the hit on Doyle warranted any suspension, much less the rest of the season, and had choice words for Commissioner Roger Goodell and the media, among others.
"Obviously, I wasn't happy about the suspension, so I'm just trying to make sure it doesn't happen (again) and see what I can actually do to make sure I can fix it," Burfict says now. "There is a way you can change, bro. There's a way you can change in making a sure tackle and just not letting him run you over."
Burfict has stayed in contact with many Raiders teammates and believes the door is open to return there. Either way, he expects to be back on the field in 2020.
Why should a team (or anyone else) trust him to stay there? Not even Burfict can offer a straight answer until the first time a running back is coming his way and he needs to decide in a split-second what he's going to do about it.
Besides assessing his game, the time away from football gave Burfict a chance to catch up on daddy duties. He shuttled his daughters, ages 5 and 3, to school and swim lessons. (A third is on the way.) Get another NFL shot, and there's still time to write a new ending to his story.
"I think about how the world sees me. That bothers me. It bothers me a lot," Burfict said. "People think (from what they see in) football, 'that's how he is off the field.' Nah.
"I've always (bet) on myself. I think I can get it done, man. I think I can get it done."

Eman it's an honor to speak with you and I look up to you so much. You are the epitome of strength and courage, a very powerful woman. I read about you and watched your TED talk, however it's your images that caught my attention – rather touched my feelings the most. Scrolling through your picture gallery is a painful experience. One cannot leave your page without being deeply moved. But I am a very weak person when it comes down to matters of the heart regards other people's pain – "War and terror".
SB: Please tell the world how you ended up taking photos at such a tender age? How did you end up giving a TED talk and living in the US?
While growing up in Gaza I realized in our world you only get one shot. I wanted to make it from my very first shot, and I knew that I didn't have a famous family name or prestigious connections that would make my career/life path easier – or even in this case possible – so I wanted to work hard and very early on, so that I had enough experience in addition to my degree to achieve my dream of becoming a photojournalist covering the conflict and I thought to myself "maybe elsewhere later on!". As for the TED talk, it was completely not planned, a very supportive American colleague and a brilliant photographer, Teru Kuwayama, recommended I apply and I did. Amazingly enough after the interview process was done, I got selected, but I was living back and forth between Gaza and the US long before that. I only settled down in the US permanently after the third war in 2014 when my youngest daughter was injured and I evacuated half way through the war, shortly before it ended.
SB: What does Palestine mean to you? Home? And what happened to Palestine? More precisely what happened to Palestine in the last 60 years?
It's Life to me, way more than just a home, it's my identity and I feel strongly about everything related to Palestine, it's more than a land, it's a life to me and my kids, grandkids after me. Palestine had been under the occupation for the past 68 years, that's long before I was born and it's just unacceptable that decades later the world isn't able to do a thing about it. It's the shameful dark part of the history, like apartheid was in South Africa, and we cant erase those times but we can stop them from being repeated. Unfortunately I don't see that happening, humanity is failing Palestinians once more but I trust we will be able to move mountains and I wake up everyday hoping I'll be one more inch closer to seeing my people and country free and in peace.
SB: Do you see a solution and future for the people of Palestine?
YES! I do, I am 100% confident and sure we will have peace and we will be free but the battle is too brutal and I can't deny that my trust in humanity has been shaken and many broken parts have been lost on the way, I pray it's sooner than later, freedom isn't a gift, it's a right and it's just a matter of time.
SB: What do you think when the media calls practically everyone who speaks up for Palestine an anti-Semite? From Bernie Sanders to Noam Chomsky, Corbyn, and foremost Margot Wallström, the foreign minister of Sweden who has been torn apart by international media many times. Are we all anti-Semites?
It's petty, those who make such accusations for their ignorance, to be anti-Semite, you cant be Semitic yourself and when they accuse someone like Palestinians or Bernie Sanders, Noam Chomsky and others who are basically Semitic originally, it's like accusing an African American that they encouraged slavery, that's not possible they are the opposite, they are freedom fighters and those who fear the truth are the ones who make such accusations, it's getting old and from the very beginning it's hysterically ignorant, I wish people would learn their own history and others before using fancy terms that make them look smart and sound stupid.
SB: More women more peace. That is my slogan because I feel sisterhood has finally arrived to take back our power from this ancient patriarchy. The world needs nurture and healing, compassion, softness, tenderness and care. What a truly good mother and wife does throughout her life – taking care of her family – but now it's our planet at stake, not just Syria, Palestine, and basically the whole destabilized Middle East. What is it to be female, generally speaking, in the Middle East? How is it to be a woman in Palestine? How is it to be a mother in Palestine?
It's tough to say the least, it's an everyday challenge and a journey of it's own. Growing up in the Middle East myself, precisely in Gaza, I never understood this male-dominated culture that is taking the area by storm since ages and still does. More women are growing stronger, one generation after another, the less sense it makes to understand why the women's role was minimized like this, it's disgraceful.
As for being a mother in Palestine, it's a heartbreaking situation, from the first moment you realize you were blessed enough to have a baby, until the moment you give in, into the dark fact you'll not be able to protect them, every mother in Palestine tries to balance normal life challenges and the unique situation Palestinians mothers have to endure not knowing how to overcome it but with more strength, I lived that from day one. I worked day and night to beat this fear and not live in terror whether it's the war or another invasion or an airstrike. We've seen some horrific days, weeks and months, but the worst of all was when my nightmare came true and I was staring at my one year old baby covered in her blood, it takes a village to be a mother in Palestine and I think every mother there has the strength of a village.
SB: Isn't it a stark contrast to live in Washington D.C. in the United States after living in war-zones? Do Palestinians have a community in D.C.? Do people march around the White House calling on the Obama administration from any Palestinian community? Because obviously we don't know about it, if it happens at all, because not one American media channel would cover such story in the news.
It's a different war zone to me to be honest with you, I know people assume I'm all safe and happy but people like happy endings and neglect the fact that we aren't living a fairy tale and moving to D.C., at least to me isn't an ending. There is a good community around here, very supportive, open-minded and creative, but also surrounded with obstacles all over, I don't know about demonstrations but I think in the backstage of the Palestinian community there is much more going on than just demonstrating in front of the White House, my coming project is about the backstage of our community in the U.S., it's pretty inspiring to me.
SB: Don't you think religions separate us when they should unite us? What's the true difference between a Jewish person and a Muslim in Gaza? I mean average people. Are you religious? How do you feel about this ever growing Islamophobia that is planted in the mass population's head by most of our current Western governments and media channels? Doesn't it make you feel sad?
I don't think it's religion, I think it's politics covered with what looks like a religious outfit but it's just camouflage to make people easier to guide and mislead, which we've witnessed in all type of religions. I'm a believer and very proud of my religion and that never stopped me from being strongly connected with friends from all sorts of backgrounds, religions and the non-religious ones, that's never been the way I was raised in Gaza, my mom played a great role in that, she decided to send me as a kid to a church school and did her best to show me the common grounds and I grew up "religion blind" if there is such thing, meaning that I don't know what you believe in but I'll respect it and honor it as long as you're letting others have the same right and not blocking theirs in order for you to enjoy yours.
SB: What is your message to Margot Wallström? What would you like me to ask from her? In addition, if you were a spokesperson for Palestine what would you ask from world leaders and the chief editor of the Guardian, NY Times and all major media channels who hardly post any news on the daily injustice that is happening to the Palestinian people by the Israeli Army?
To the news agencies, the truth is we've never been the real storytellers in any of the stories we cover, we're the messengers, and it's no less important of a role, but the story "subjects" are the storytellers and the fact that our newspapers and front pages can't function without having "explosive headlines" with blood all over, the fact that we would only care if someone dies, is unacceptable, because no matter how "professional" you would like to be labeled, it will not mean a thing when you're less of a human being. So before we go all journalistically ethical and non-ethical on public podiums, let's care about the quality of news we're spreading, let go of the firework reports because the stories that changed the world the most were happening in the most quiet places.
SB: With this interview Eman, I'd like to show the world who you are first of all, expose your wonderful work, but foremost to stand with you and the so many unheard victims who died and have been killed and wounded in Palestine in the last 60 years.

With the holidays my workload has backed off a little and I've been checking out chrome experiments for some inspiration. One of those was Ablaze js. One of the first graphic tricks I used on my TRS-80 color computer on the high resolution black and white mode 256×192 pixel screen was drawing curves with string art style lines. I never made it past just filling in along the sides of the screens. Seeing ablaze brought me back to those days.
So string art is my take on doing something similar. I wanted to use the same string art style and the brilliant colors of the original. However I wanted it to continue to evolve and look good indefinitely. I also wanted to use the differential equation solver as the source for the lines.
The first thing I thought about was the movement of the lines. I started with a particle system moving in a force field. The particles are moving in a central force field with a moving center. Overlaid on that is a uniform magnetic field so that the particles travel in tight loops.
Once I had the particle motion nailed down I experimented with several attempts to get something that looked good. My first attempt was to just draw lines between randomly generated particles. That started out with a nice initial distribution, but got unruly as the system unfolded. Next I tried similar particles, but those eventually drifted too far apart. Adding code to force them back together created some strange wedge shapes. Eventually, I settled on drawing a tangent line segment centered on the current location.
I tried a few simple color schemes before I settled on the blue and gold. If I spend some more time on it, I plan on making the colors independent for each particle and dependent on the velocity, but this looks good enough for now.


Community Technical Previews have become an inevitable, incremental step in the Microsoft trudge towards availability. VARs can download the CTP and check out new support for up to 256 cores, and geospatial visualization capabilities in Report Builder 3.0.
To say that competitors are circling Sun Microsystems' customers and partners like vultures is probably overstating the case. But not by much.
A former colleague, who has worked the tech beat for more than 20 years, had some interesting thoughts the other night on the new-look Microsoft under chief software architect Ray Ozzie.
There was a gut instinct to defend Ozzie, home-town and Lotus Notes hero. After all, it's hard to blaze a trail into the future while protecting a huge installed base of products, customers and partners.
But then again, the rant rings true.
In tech everyone gets caught up in the latest thing–to such an extent that they may ignore or miss something truly exciting. Obviously, Microsoft can't avoid the cloud, but is its Google fixation blinding it to other opportunities?
But when it was chasing NetScape Navigator, that was cool stuff. Ditto the Mac OS. Ditto iPhone.
Is that good enough for this self-proclaimed innovator?

IBM started up its acquisition push and analytics landgrab this week with a planned $1.2 billion buyout of SPSS.
SPSS, out of Chicago, does statistical and predictive analytics software. IBM launched its business intelligence/analytics push a few years back when it grabbed up Cognos for $5 billion. Cognos had been a close applications partner of IBM Software.
Some Microsoft Gold partners are more than miffed that they won't get their Windows 7 RTM code until after volume customers as well as hardware OEMs and ISVs.
There's nothing like a channel advisory board call to recharge the batteries.
First: It's probably a no-brainer, but solution providers expect a big hardware refresh to accompany the Windows 7 launch this fall and hope to bundle an array of services around that upgrade binge.
Mohamad Ali, a veteran IBM exec, is leaving the company after more than 13 years, to join Avaya as SVP of corporate development, according to an email sent out over the weekend.
The mail arrived just two days before Avaya disclosed it has a deal to buy Nortel's enterprise solutions business for an estimated $475 million.
He also joined the board of Ember Corp. a Boston-based zigbee wireless company.
Microsoft launched a new blog for its upcoming Office 2010 last week.
At its Worldwide Partner Conference last week, Microsoft talked up the next-gen Office, promised it for next year. Partners and other invitees can participate in a special preview now. A similar preview of the Web Office apps is promised for next month.


The site covers an area of 0.77 hectares, of which 0.66ha will remain undeveloped and improved for landscape and biodiversity purposes.
The design of the building group makes good use of the sloping topography that typifies this landscape, in so doing the development sits low on the site hugging the hillside and does not protrude into the skyline. Combined with its single storey split form of two linked wings, where a significat part of the building is hidden from external views, particularly so to the sensitive northern receptors.
The northern wing forms a new feature, which is characterised by quadrilateral sculptured shapes which breaks up the building mass, and importantly obscures large expanses of glazing. The facade is clad in charcoal metallic material which is recessive and has low visual impact, allowing the building to blend with the backdrop of trees along the hill ridge.
The building is further integrated into the landscape through a combination of 'shard' sculptural elements that reflect the building facade and low 'naturalised' groups of tufted grasses to blur the distinction between the built and soft forms.
The garden, situated largely to the south of the building hides the domestic activities associated with the residential use of the site, thus allowing for a large portion of the site to be retained as open meadow (including the roofs of the structures), thus maintaining the appearance of a rural landscape and reducing loss of grassland, whist increasing diversity with a species rich sward.
The copse planting to the south west corner of the site reinforces the tree line ridge that is characteristic of the area, yet gappy in the location of the site, and will over time screen the neighbouring large 20th century residential property known as Oceania, which currently has a detracting presence on the landscape when viewed from the north.
The existing site plan illustrates boundaries, topography and immediate surrounding dwellings and buildings.
A sectional illustration of the landscape analyses the existing site conditions.

The settlement pattern at a macro scale is a loose cluster of settlement off both sides of Church Hill Road.
Development as proposed on the site would consolidate that cluster, but would not significantly intensify settlement on the ridge, due to the generous open space surrounding the new building.
Existing field pattern with settlement.
Proposed field pattern with settlement and proposed dwelling.
Looking at a micro level, the settlement is of three loose groups, with a large single dwelling (Oceania) immediately to the south of our site. The new dwelling at Huxham View creates a relationship with Oceania.
Visually, the settlement appears as a linear development along the ridge line. Development on the site would be a continuation of this pattern.
The division of the single filed into two parcels to create the development site would have a minor effect on the existing field pattern and scale, which would be in keeping with the local landscape of small to medium scale.
Essentially a medium size field will be divided into a small field of irregular forms.

Overall the site and local landscape has a medium sensitivity to the type of development proposed. This is primarily due to the site's open elevated position on a prominent hillside within open countryside. However, there are residential dwellings either side of the site and to the south on the opposite side of the road, forming a linear thread of settlement along the ridge, so buildings within the immediate locality are not out of place. With appropriate development on site new buildings could form a loose cluster with those existing buildings.
None of the landscape within the study area is designated i.e Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV). The physical landscape elements that could be effected include changes to the land-form to accommodate the buildings being set into the slope and the loss of semi improved grazing land (currently out of production) across the site. No significant trees are to be affected by the development as none exist on the site. There is good potential for landscape enhancements with the reintroduction of hedgerows where there is currently post and rail fencing which is prevalent around the site. Such new hedges with trees would fit well with the framework of hedges of the local landscape and provide assimilation of the new buildings. Division of the plots with hedgerows could form linear parcels that would mimic the medieval fields to be found in the vicinity.
Effects to visual amenity will be to local roads and Public Rights of Way (PRoW) to the North West through to the north east and immediately to the south. The sensitivity in visual amenity terms is medium, there is some screening afforded by vegetation in the local landscape. There are also framed views to the site, where the site is in an elevated position.
Development proposals will need to be carefully considered so as not to appear overly dominant, close to the ridge-line. This could perhaps be achieved by creating a feature building with any further buildings being recessive and appearing smaller when viewed from locations to the north through design of form and massing, such as single story. The buildings could be designed to appear as a building group possibly out houses to the main house and use recessive cladding. Material finishes would be expected to include those of local vernacular: stone, and or slate. The use of grass roof's would reduce the loss of grassland and aid assimilation into the site.
The ecological assessment has examined the habitats and species of interest within the site and surrounding area. The site is not covered by, or immediately adjacent to, any statutory or non-statutory designated sites of biodiversity value. However, there is one Site of Special Scientific Interest (Stoke Woodland SSSI) located approximately 1km to the west of the site, and five county wildlife sites and two unconfirmed wildlife sites within 1km of the site. Ecological mitigation and enhancements have been designed to mitigate for construction and operation phase disturbance and for the loss of 7,700m2 of semi-improved grassland and to increase the value of the site.
Despite the presence of one new dwelling within the site it is considered that, with the proposed mitigation and enhancements, there will be a moderate-major beneficial impact on the ecological value of the site due to the presence of a diversity of new valuable habitats (Devon hedgebanks, open swales and wetland, species rich grassland, native tufted grassland, native tree and shrub planting, green roofs, new roosting and nesting opportunities for bats, birds and hedgehogs).
The site falls within character type 3a upper undulating farmed and wooded slopes and the following is of relevance to the application site and its immediate context.
Undulating sloping land on greensand below the steep wooded scarp, where deciduous woods and copses on the upper valley slopes grade to pastoral/mixed cultivation, with some arable cultivation along the lower edge, especially in the southern part of this type. An intricate mix of small to medium fields with irregular boundaries of very wide earth banks with low, species-rich hedges and many trees, creating a well-treed and intimate character. Oak and ash are the most prominent species.
Upper stream valleys are often steep and V-shaped, without a distinct valley floor, but with wetland along streams and in patches throughout.
The settlement pattern is of isolated farms and occasional large houses, with some deserted farmsteads and small villages linked by very narrow winding lanes. Red brick and stone are often used in dwellings, with rusty corrugated iron roofs to stone farm buildings (these would formerly have had slate, clay tile or thatch roofs).
There is little 20th century development, although such development does occur in close proximity to the application site.
Occasionally this type occupies the slopes immediately below the plateau, but it is less steep and less wooded than the scarp slopes. The feeling of remoteness is strengthened by lack of settlement and limited views out, where vegetation acts as a screen or filter.
Encouraging the conservation of hedgerow trees by planting or tagging selected saplings, to maintain and enhance the well-treed character of this type.
Promote the biodiversity benefits of less intensive management and raise awareness of the potential damage from fertiliser run-off or spray.
Encouraging the retention and management of existing field boundaries to maintain the mixed pattern of small to medium fields.
Encouraging management via appropriate grazing regimes to control scrub and maintain unimproved grassland, flushes and wildflower meadows.
Improving integration of 20th century development within the wider landscape, especially by replicating the distinctive treed earth banks and small woods of this Landscape Character Type.
The soil naturally occurring on the site is slightly Acid Loamy Clayey, with impeded drainage. (Source: Landis Soil Portal – Cranfield University).
The Devon Hedgerow Group interactive map, shows that the site fall into the distinctive category of Elm dominated hedgerows, on turf faced banks.
The site boundaries clearly need some native hedgerow planting – that in itself would provide enhancements as three of the boundaries are currently timber fences. Native hedge banks would be even better and you could have wildflower seeds on the bank (south facing it could be called a pollinator bank) and native woody species on top. On site the semi-improved grassland is relatively diverse as it has not been managed for quite a while – it would be good to use a wildflower mix or similar in the grassland areas on site rather than an amenity grass mix.
Other enhancements to be considered are water features which are allowed to colonise naturally, bee hotels, hedgehog boxes and reptile hibernacula.
Sensitive lighting is also important for biodiversity.
There are no mature trees on site so no other options for the placement of bat and bird boxes. Consider incorporating swift boxes and bat tiles on the building.
Hux Shard is a robust, truly outstanding, site specific response of the highest architectural standards. The project significantly enhances its immediate setting through thoughtful and considered design. There is potential to be not only sensitive to the defining characteristics of the area, but also contribute to the vibrancy and longevity with future building trends.

Last weekend was extra awesome! Here are five amazing things from that awesomeness!
(1) Friday night The Chief and I headed down to Jacksonville, Florida for the evening, and we ate at Fionn MacCool's Irish Pub. We do love a good pub! We liked the atmosphere, the service, AND the food! Their bread pudding was something special, I tell you. It's house-made of danish and doughnuts, covered with buttered pecans and chocolate chips, and topped with a bourbon glaze! OH, MAN!
(2) Special bonus: The Jacksonville Fire Department Pipes and Drums (Highland Bagpipe Band) was playing outside the restaurant! They were really good! We heard them as soon as we got out of the car and just couldn't believe it! We always enjoyed hearing bagpipes when we lived in England, so this was an unexpected treat.
(3) After bagpipes and food we headed to the Zac Brown Band concert! YES! We've wanted to see them in concert for a long time, and they finally played in our area. They were an impressive groups! The vocals AND the musicianship were crazy good.
I know you want a better look at what I wore to said concert, am I right?!? Because that's really important! These are the two variations I came up with, and The Chief preferred the denim jacket version, so that's what I wore! This is my LuLaRoe Lucy maxi skirt worn as a dress! The flats are cranberry red, so they were a nice pop of color.
(4) THEN, on Sunday I went to #READSavannah, a special event held at the conclusion of the Southern Independent Booksellers' Alliance Discovery Show here in Savannah. At this event we (readers) ate a nice lunch during which 10 different authors visited our table to tell us about their newest book. How cool is that! Kind of like speed dating with books/authors! We then enjoyed three different panels of authors (some of whom we had NOT met during lunch). You can just IMAGINE the state of my To Be Read list now! SO. MANY. BOOKS.
It's Modern Mrs. Darcy herself, Anne Bogel!
Meet my new friends, Mary Jane, Kristie, and Julie!
Food. Bagpipes. Concert. Authors. Books. New friends. What a weekend! I'm grateful!
This weekend was just packed with fun stuff! Loved getting a peak at it all! Thanks for sharing!

Moi stops Reggae: Buju Banton concert postponed, yet again
The much anticipated Buju Banton concert has been postponed yet again, only two days to the event.
The Jamaican music legend was scheduled to perform in Nairobi, Kenya on the 8th of February 2020 at the KICC grounds. He was set to land in the country tomorrow Friday (07.02.2020) ahead of the concert that many reggae fans were eagerly waiting for.
A statement from Buju Banton's management team has since gone viral on social media platforms with many fans expressing their displeasure. According to the statement dated today (06.02.2020) and for immediate release, Buju will not be performing due to unavoidable circumstances.
Speaking to The Sauce, sources said that the concert has been postponed due to the planned public body viewing of the late former President Daniel Moi at Parliament buildings from Saturday through to Monday ahead of a national memorial service set for Tuesday at Nyayo National Stadium as reported by The Sauce.
The sources reiterated that the 'Rasta Got Soul' hitmaker had been paid and that it was all systems go for the event with the set up at KICC almost complete.
The organisers have announced the new concert details in a press release this afternoon. The reggae event will now be held on the 15th of February 2020 at KICC from 6 pm.
As previously reported by The Sauce, Buju Banton concert was originally scheduled for December 2019 in Mombasa but was later rescheduled to February 2020 in Nairobi following a huge outcry by fans.
Buju Banton whose real name is Mark Anthony Myrie aged 46 had been incarcerated for seven years prior to his release in late 2018.

On May 1, 2015, Jim Miller completed a 10 day jury trial in San Joaquin County Superior Court where the plaintiff sought over $7,000,000.00 in damages for lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering allegedly arising from an incident that occurred at Jim's client's store. The intervenor, Zenith Insurance Company, sought repayment of workers' compensation benefits paid to the plaintiff. After hearing the testimony of eight medical doctors, three liability experts, an economist, a neuropsychologist, two vocational rehabilitation experts, the plaintiff, his wife, daughter and two defendant company representatives, the jury returned a verdict finding the plaintiff 75 percent at fault for the incident and awarded him $720.00. The intervenor received a verdict of zero dollars. Since Jim's client had served both the intervenor and the plaintiff with 998s well above the jury verdict amounts, he is seeking over $133,000.00 in costs and expert fees from the intervenor and plaintiff.
This action arose from an incident that occurred on May 30, 2008 after plaintiff fell through a false ceiling that was held up by wires located on the property of Jim's client. Plaintiff was a pest exterminator who had serviced the grocery store for about four years before the incident. On the day of the incident, he was told that mice had been spotted in the accounting office and was asked to remedy the problem. Plaintiff went to the accounting office which was on the second floor in the warehouse portion of the store. He examined the exterior of the office and saw a door which appeared to him to be an alternative entrance into the office. Therefore, he started walking toward the door on what appeared to him to be a solid surface. Instead it was a false ceiling, and the plaintiff fell through it landing 12 feet below.
The defendant employee witnesses testified that the door plaintiff was walking toward when he fell was never operable after it was put into place over 20 years ago. The door was intended to allow employees to view the entire store from a two-way mirror to look for shoplifters. If the door was to be used, a platform would have been installed. However, the owners of the store decided to use video cameras to look for shoplifters instead. Accordingly, they blocked off access to the door within the accounting office but never blocked it off in the exterior of the office.
The first trial of this matter originally commenced in February 2015. After four days of trial, Jim brought a motion for mistrial because the plaintiff's attorney showed the jury a photograph depicting subsequent remedial measures. Prior to the commencement of the trial, Jim's motion in limine barring the plaintiff from presenting such evidence was granted. The plaintiff's attorney violated this court order by showing the photograph and, accordingly, the trial judge granted a mistrial and ordered a second trial to commence in April.
During the trial in April, Jim relied upon liability experts to show that the alleged hazard was open and obvious and that the plaintiff should have known that he was walking onto a false ceiling. Jim also relied upon medical expert testimony to show that the plaintiff had preexisting injuries. Ultimately, the plaintiff did have low back fusion surgery after the incident and was precluded from working at any time in the future due to those injuries. The plaintiff also suffered from severe depression and chronic pain. His total medical expenses where in excess of $450,000 while his past and future wage loss was more than $1 million. Jim relied upon treating physicians and an IME doctor to show that the alleged injuries were preexisting and not related to the fall.
The plaintiff and intervenor vigorously opposed liability hiring two experts who opined that the area where the plaintiff fell was dangerous and that access to the area should have been blocked off or warned against. Furthermore, the plaintiff relied upon physicians who performed surgeries and administered diagnostic and therapeutic injections on the plaintiff several months after the incident wherein those doctors opined that the need for care was related to the incident. During cross-examination, Jim was able to get the doctors called by the plaintiff to admit that they did not have a full understanding of the plaintiff's medical history when they opined that the surgeries and treatment were related to the fall.
Jim also called doctors who had examined the plaintiff both before and after the incident. Those doctors, along with the IME doctor Jim retained, found that the plaintiff's need for back surgery was unrelated to the fall. While those doctors agreed that the plaintiff could no longer work in almost any capacity, they found the reason for such was because of pain, depression and residuals from the back surgery.
Ultimately, the jury found Jim's argument regarding causation of injury persuasive and awarded the plaintiff minimal amounts of money. However, those minimal amounts of money were then reduced by a finding that the plaintiff was 75 percent comparatively at fault.
The plaintiff and intervenor's attorneys filed motions for new trial which were denied.

Review – Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (Switch)
In 2005, a small OG Xbox game called Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse was introduced to the world, but it didn't get much attention at the time. It had a unique premise, and it's a game I have fond memories of. The forgotten game Stubbs the Zombie was somewhat difficult to find and play, one of the most coveted collectibles on the Xbox, but original developer/publisher Aspyr has finally brought it back to modern consoles, including the Switch. Is it compatible with nostalgia?
Stubbs! The most adorable zombie!
You play as Stubbs, an undead salesman resurrected from his grave in the brand new Punchbowl City, a city of the future (at least by 1950s standards), complete with flying cars and robots. When Stubbs awakens, he embarks on a personal journey, raising an army of the undead to help him. The story is exactly what you'd expect: goofy, silly and often hilarious, with many of his own gags that are still surprisingly well received after all these years. The fact that the game doesn't take itself seriously at all is perhaps its greatest asset.
Stubbs has a number of skills to help him with his plans. By biting the brains of your victims, you can kill enemies, turn them into allies, and replenish your other skills. You can also throw parts of your body (or even your head) as a sort of explosive, you can fart to stun enemies, and, best of all, you can throw an arm to take control of a human target to use its weapons. These skills are fun, but there are very few of them and they can get a little boring after a while.
The dialogue is often fascinating.
This game is very similar to the one released in 2005, with some changes to the controls to give it a more modern look. Stubbs Zombie is best when exploring semi-open areas and causing as much chaos as possible. It's a pleasure to collect an army of dead and use them to move on to the next objective. It's a unique, incredibly engaging game cycle that you don't often see in modern games, with the exception of the remake of Destroy All Humans. These moments alone make the game worth buying.
Unfortunately, these open levels are not shown often enough. The more open maps are often replaced by boring linear missions. This raises a lot of questions about the pacing, where some parts of the game tend to drag on and go against the grain, forcing you through one linear corridor after another without much thought until you get to the next map. It's much less fun to experiment and enjoy the mechanics of the game, rather than slowly work through each encounter. Often I just use the possession technique and pull those parts to get it over with as quickly as possible.
Raising an army of zombies is Stubbs at his best.
As anyone who has played Stubbs the Zombie over the years knows, this game runs on the original Halo engine. Exactly the same iteration as the one in Halo 2 to be exact. This fact draws attention every time the game is mentioned, and even on the box of retail copies on the Xbox OG. This remaster is no different, as it is almost a 1:1 port of the game with slightly larger textures here and there, and a more stable frame rate and resolution. I know what to expect from him.
Despite the glaring issues with the game's speed and the fact that it's an improved port of a game originally released three generations ago, Stubbs the Zombie is still worth playing today. The charming story, lighthearted attitude, and unique gameplay is something you don't often see these days.
It's very similar to the 2005 game, but with a higher resolution and a more stable refresh rate. Stubbs' game is attractive and holds up well, but it lacks variety.
The noise design remains the same as in 2005. Some aspects of it age very well, while others show some age scars. Stubbs Zombie always had the potential to be a great game, but it was always limited by the linear level design. This version is no different, although the portability is a nice touch.

Brussels against exporting nuclear waste outside EU
Brussels is against member states exporting their nuclear waste to countries outside the EU or to store it in joint sites, energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger said, as the commission is working on a set of common safety standards for this dangerous material.
"It is the duty of national politicians to do their homework," Mr Oettinger told Financial Times Deutschland in an interview published on Wednesday (10 March). The German commissioner warned against common storage sites, as well as exporting the radioactive material outside the EU, for instance Russia.
EU to propose radioactive waste law by year-end
The European Commission will table a legislative proposal on the treatment of radioactive waste before the end of the year, commission president José Manuel Barroso told a conference on nuclear energy in Paris on Monday.
Energy commissioner Günther Oettinger hinted at legislation on nuclear waste management at a European Parliament hearing in January. He said setting the "highest possible" safety standards for disposal would be a priority. "Further costs cannot be a consideration," he warned.
EU favors establishment of IAEA nuclear fuel bank
BRUSSELS, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- European Union (EU) foreign ministers on Monday endorsed a plan for the UN nuclear watchdog agency to maintain an international nuclear fuel bank.
"The Council (of Ministers) decides to express its support for the establishment of a nuclear fuel bank placed under the control of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)," said the ministers in a statement.
Extracting a disaster
The increased sourcing of raw uranium that will arise from nuclear new build is an ethical and environmental nightmare currently being ignored by the government.
The World Nuclear Association (WNA), the trade body for companies that make up 90% of the industry, admits that in "emerging uranium producing countries" there is frequently no adequate environmental health and safety legislation, let alone monitoring. It is considerately proposing a Charter of Ethics containing principles of uranium stewardship for its members to follow. But this is a self-policing voluntary arrangement. Similarly, the International Atomic Energy Agency's safety guide to the Management of Radioactive Waste from the Mining and Milling of Ores (pdf) are not legally binding on operators.
Planned EU-wide rules on nuclear energy unveiled
Two previous proposals failed; European Commission seeks greater interest in nuclear energy.
All nuclear activity in the EU will be subject to common safety rules, if a draft directive adopted by the European Commission wins the backing of member states.
Under the plans, published on 26 November, international nuclear safety standards – the 1996 Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS), and the 2006 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Fundamentals – would form the backbone of legislation that would be mandatory for all EU member states.

EU proposes legislation on nuclear safety
BRUSSELS, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission on Wednesday adopted a revised proposal for legislation setting up a European Union (EU) framework for nuclear safety.
The proposed legislation, in the form of a directive, defines basic obligations and general principles for the safety of nuclear installations in the EU while enhancing the role of national regulatory bodies.
IAEA mission inspects Kozloduy NPP
An expert mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has started in the Bulgarian NPP Kozloduy. The mission has been invited by the Agency for Nuclear Regulation and by the government following a request of the NPP, to assess the fulfillment of the program for upgrading of its Russian VVER 1000 reactors. The program has been implemented stage-by-stage during repair works in 2002 and 2007.

Opposition party launches campaign against nuclear plant in Belarus
Minsk, Nov 06, 2008 (BBC Monitoring via COMTEX) -- Seven residents of Hrodna Region's Astravets District have announced their intention to campaign against the government's plans to build a nuclear power plant in the area in western Belarus.
The group is led by Mikalay Ulasevich, a sole entrepreneur and member of the [opposition] United Civic Party.
U.N. watchdog urges Spain action on nuclear waste
SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - The United Nations' nuclear watchdog on Wednesday praised Spain's regulator but recommended stepping up efforts to find a permanent site for dumping spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste.
Urich Schmocker, head of an International Atomic Energy Agency mission to Spain, said building a central storage facility was just an interim solution.
German's trial over Libya nuke program nears end
STUTTGART, Germany: A German engineer has acknowledged that he helped procure parts for a centrifuge system that authorities say was meant for Libya's now-abandoned nuclear weapons program, a court said Thursday.
Gotthard Lerch went on trial in June, accused of supplying Libya with sensitive technology in the knowledge that the country was seeking atomic weapons. Prosecutors have accused him of playing a key role in the network led by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan.

Report: Asia-Pacific Business Environment Improves 7.3%
Doing business in APEC member economies continues to get easier, according to a new report, helping to open up trade and growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific against the backdrop of rising uncertainty.
An analysis of business conditions in APEC economies by the APEC Policy Support Unit reveals a 7.3 per cent improvement over the last two years, boosted by their ambitious ease of doing business initiative being taken forward by economic officials in Port Moresby.
The initiative is focused on five priority areas: 1) Getting credit; 2) starting a business; 3) dealing with construction permits; 4) enforcing contracts; and 5) trading across borders.
"APEC region officials' efforts to raise the quality of their regulations are steadily making it cheaper and more efficient to do business in the Asia-Pacific," explained Carlos Kuriyama, a Senior Analyst with the APEC Policy Support Unit and report co-author.
"Getting credit is the area where APEC has had the biggest business environment breakthrough, driven by stronger legal rights and credit information systems," Kuriyama noted. "The average availability of credit information in the region increased from about 74 per cent to over 77 per cent of adults."
Starting a new business meanwhile improved 11.8 per cent, taking nearly three fewer days and with all but one APEC economy eliminating minimum capital requirements.
Other measures employed in select instances which contributed to this trend included halting the need for a company seal to register a business as well as the introduction of an e-platform to expedite business permit applications.
Progress in trading across borders was marked by a 6.5 per cent reduction in the average time it takes businesses in APEC economies to export, from 70 to just over 65 hours. Dealing with construction permits took one less day to obtain.
"The move in the APEC region towards smarter, more modernized regulations is timely as digital development creates new avenues for businesses to engage in cross-border trade, including small and micro enterprises with limited resources," said Kuriyama.
APEC economies are targeting a 10 per cent improvement in the region's business environment by the end of 2019, based on 2015 levels in the five APEC Ease of Doing Business initiative priority areas. The initiative is inspired by the World Bank's Doing Business program.
The exchange of good regulatory practices and implementation guidance, drawing upon experiences and recommendations garnered from public-private sector engagement in APEC, is at the center of the initiative's work.
"Collaboration across APEC economies to improve their ease of doing business has achieved good results so far," said Kuriyama. "The area with the most room for improvement is in enforcing contracts, with gains mostly stemming from higher quality of judicial processes."
"Sustained reform and capacity building activities in APEC that focus on qualitative aspects of regulation like sustainability are critical to ensuring the momentum of business development and trade in the region at this challenging juncture," Kuriyama concluded.

The Israel Antiquities Authority – the preeminent organization in the field of Israeli and Biblical Archaeology – has begun an unprecedented project to bring together approximately two million archaeological objects, among them nearly 25,000 Dead Sea Scroll fragments, under one roof in the heart of Jerusalem.
Located on Museum Hill in Jerusalem, the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel, currently under construction, will be the only open, interactive center for the conservation, study and presentation of Holy Land antiquities. The importance of building a safe, permanent and accessible home for the most significant material culture discovered in the Land of Israel cannot be overstated. To date, Israel's historical artifacts have been scattered in small, outdated facilities all over the country and the work of the IAA hidden from view.
Designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie, the National Campus will bring together objects from the Archaeological State Treasures and the National Archaeological Library and Archives, as well as open the National Archaeological Conservation and Restoration Laboratories to the public for the first time. The National Campus will provide an unprecedented look at how millions of artifacts from myriad cultures and eras of history are unearthed, restored and displayed.
Thus far, we have raised $75 million from public and private funds with 35% of the project remaining. We are seeking an additional $40 million to open the National Campus by the IAA's 30th anniversary in 2020. Please consider donating to the project so that the archaeological treasures that collectively represent the cultural heritage of the Land of Israel and the history of the land's people over the past 5,000 years will finally have a permanent home.
Your support will enhance conservation and preservation of the collections for future generations of students, scholars and visitors to the Land.

Якутская национальная военная школа ― военное учебное заведение по подготовке младших командиров для Красной Армии. Работала с 1925 по май 1941 года.

История

Идею создания подобный школы выдвинул в 1924 году председатель Якутского ЦИК Платон Ойунский. Его предложение было одобрено и Якутская национальная военная школа была основана по приказу Командующего Сибирским военным округом от 10 сентября 1925 года. Школа организовывалась на базе Якутской национальной военной роты.

Первые занятия в школе начались в феврале 1926 года. Первый набор состоял из 72 курсантов. Обучение шло на двух отделениях: стрелковом и станково-пулеметном. Первый выпуск младших командиров состоялся в 1927 году. Помимо младшего командного состава школа обучала военному делу красноармейцев запаса. Наряду с военной подготовкой в школе особое внимание уделяли спортивным занятиям. Лыжники и стрелки школы не раз занимали высокие места на республиканских и всесоюзных соревнованиях.

В 1930 году школе было присвоено имя героя Гражданской войны Кеши Алексеева.

Выпускники ЯНВШ в мирное время работали в советских и партийных органах, в милиции, руководили местными отделами Осоавиахима, назначались бригадирами в колхозах и на предприятиях. Также они назначались руководителями в комсомольские и спортивные организации.

Часть выпускников продолжали обучение уже в военных училищах. Бывшие курсанты ЯНВШ сражались с японцами у озера Хасан, в районе реке Халкин-Гол, на фронтах Великой Отечественной войны, участвовали в разгроме Квантунской армии Японии в августе 1945 года. Из них более ста человек стали офицерами Красной Армии, в том числе 11 старшими офицерами.

Якутская национальная военная школа подчинялась штабу Особой Краснознаменной Дальневосточной армии, с 1936 года ― штабу Забайкальского военного округа.

Всего с 1927 по май 1941 года школа подготовила около 900 младших командиров и красноармейцев запаса.

Известные выпускники
 Гвардии полковник Оллонов, Дмитрий Данилович (1907―1983) ― участник Великой Отечественной войны, Военный комиссар Якутской АССР.
 Полковник Ларионов, Иван Петрович (1915―1961) ― участник Великой Отечественной войны, командир стрелкового батальона 685-го стрелкового полка 193-й стрелковой дивизии 5-й Армии
 Подполковник Соколов, Степан Николаевич ―, начальник штаба 64-го стрелкового полка 94-й Краснознаменный стрелковой дивизии 36-й армии (1946—1948).
 Майор Чусовской, Николай Николаевич ― Герой Советского Союза
 Старший лейтенант Табунанов, Георгий Тимофеевич ― первый организатор Осоавиахимовского движения Якутской АССР, участник Великой Отечественной войны.
 Лейтенант Догордуров, Егор Дмитриевич (1916—1942) ― участник Великой Отечественной войны, лейтенант, снайпер, командир 369-й отдельной разведывательной роты 294-й стрелковой дивизии.

 Сюльский, Семён Иванович ― участник Великой Отечественной войны. Известен тем, что в зиму 1941—1942 года совершил лыжный переход длинною в 2500 км до районного военкомата, чтобы стать добровольцем в Красную Армию.
 Гвардии старшина Заровняев, Роман Семёнович (1915—1962) ― участник Великой Отечественной войны, гвардии старшина, командир стрелкового взвода, снайпер, уничтожил 59 солдат и офицеров противника.

Q: How can I programmatically edit the hosts file in Windows 7/Server 2008? I'm writing a little WPF utility to manage entries in the hosts file for dev purposes. As you might know the hosts file is protected by the newer OSs (Win 7/2008/Vista).
I've added a manifest to my application to set the requestedExecutionLevel to "requireAdministrator", as detailed here (using "the easy way") and in the related question here.
Unfortunately this has not worked for me. There is no elevation prompt when I start the app, and calling File.AppendText for the hosts file still causes a System.UnauthorizedAccessException to be thrown: "Access to the path 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts' is denied."
HostsChanger.exe.manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="HostsChanger" type="win32"/>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
        <requestedPrivileges>
            <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator"/>
        </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>

Any ideas?

A: Paraphrased from my earlier comment, turned into an answer:
The answer ho1 gave contains an app.manifest that is exactly the same as the app I'm working on at work, and elevation is working for it. The difference here is that the filename is "app.manifest", and the project option "Manifest" (on the Application tab) is pointing to it.

A: I'm not sure if it'll make any difference but your manifest snippet is slightly different from my understanding of how it should be (though that might be different versions):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="HostsChanger" />
   <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
      <security>
         <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
            <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
         </requestedPrivileges>
      </security>
   </trustInfo>
</asmv1:assembly>

Otherwise, a work around might be to have a separate "Loader" app that the user starts with and that only starts your real WPF tool using the Verb runas as detailed in this blog post (so Process.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";).

A: I am going to take a stab in the dark here and say that it is an authenticode signature issue. I have not heard you mention anything about signing your application. As far as my understanding goes, unlike Vista, in Windows 2008/7 the only way to run an application elevated is to have a signed application manifest that identifies the privilege level that the application needs. If you need help signing, here's an article on how to sign your application: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756995.aspx

The Batman: Is Robert Pattinson A Good Bruce Wayne?
Minor spoilers to follow.
Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman
Now that Matt Reeves's The Batman has finally debuted in theaters all around the world, we can finally put it under our scrupulous microscope to determine what worked and what did not work within the film. For the most part, Reeves's film does a phenomenal job in ensuring that audiences are given a unique interpretation of Batman and the seedy Gotham city that he watches over.
And yes! After having waited for over two years for this movie to appear on the silver screen, we have finally been given the chance to see Robert Pattinson's take on the Caped Crusader. From our perspective, Pattinson did a splendid job embodying a Dark Knight that is still new to vigilantism. There were plenty of moments whereby the character showcased his "rookie" and questionable actions in the pursuit of apprehending the Riddler and saving lives. Pattinson's Batman is one that is still yet to be in control of the things that happen around him, giving off a characterization that is somewhat vulnerable and uncertain of his role as Gotham's protector.
TAKE ME TO THE MOST AMAZING COLLECTION OF BATMAN WALL STICKERS
That being said, any analysis of a live-action Batman character would be rendered incomplete without an inspection of his alter-ego. This boils down to how the actor portraying the Batman is able to pull off portraying an interesting Bruce Wayne at the same time. This is where we believe Pattinson's portrayal falters ever so slightly within the film, as his depiction of Bruce Wayne is almost forgettable or non-existent throughout the film's ginormous three-hour runtime. In comparison to earlier portrayals of Bruce Wayne in film, Pattinson does not shine as the billionaire-slash-elitist-slash-playboy that we have come to associate with the character. Of course, we get the idea that the Pattinson version of Bruce Wayne was meant to be a young and inexperienced character in the grand scheme of things, but the characterization often felt like Pattinson was honing in his Batman persona all the time, even when he was out of the batsuit.
We got the same kind of brooding, analytical look that Batman is known for when Bruce Wayne is seen in public, and his very few interactions with members of the public make him out to be somewhat of a recluse rather than a wealthy business owner that craves the spotlight with his outlandish behavior. Pattinson, instead, chooses to linger in the shadows as Bruce Wayne, silently watching the people of Gotham, almost vicariously, as if he was not a part of the city himself.
This portrayal came across as a little too odd for the Bruce Wayne character that fans have come to know over the years. If anyone in Gotham was to pay just a little more attention to his behavior, they could certain deduce that the billionaire Bruce Wayne is, in fact, the Batman, and that is precisely what we take issue with.
The fact of the matter is Bruce Wayne is not real. He is merely a "suit" that Batman wears to conceal his true identity as the Caped Crusader. He is a distraction from the wandering and questioning eyes that might poke a little too hard at who he might be and discover the truth. Therefore, Pattinson, in our opinion, was not given much to do as Bruce Wayne, and this made him appear as a one-dimensional character that could have been something more.
