Today Tacoma's News Tribune offers a story about the imminent issuing of new rules for watching southern resident killer whales. This story confirms Donna Darm's recent mention of the regulations being currently under review at OMB. It remains to be seen whether the rules will be issued in time for the whale watching industry and killer whale researchers to plan accordingly for the upcoming season.
While the story isn't quite accurate about the state of bioacoustic science, it does contain a fascinating juxtaposition of quotes — from former EPA administrator and Puget Sound Partnership Leadership Council Chair Bill Ruckelshaus, and former President of the Pacific Whale Watch Association Shane Aggergaard. (Why wasn't current President Bill Wright quoted?) This exchange of perspectives reminded me that someone needs to create a synopsis and analysis of the diverse public comments on the proposed vessel regulations, particularly those (30 Mb of) comments from the whale watch industry.
The article states that "Research shows engine noise can interfere with the whales' ability to find food." That's a little unclear. What has been shown for southern residents (Holt, et al., 2009) is that underwater noise from nearby boats makes killer whales call louder. If those calls are important for foraging, then the boat noise could affect the whales' ability to find food. The greater potential impact of vessel noise on their ability to forage is masking of the echolocation clicks they use to target salmon. That is a focus of on-going observational and modeling efforts.
Anytime you have an endangered species you always have somebody who is adversely impacted by the efforts to save the species, and they are very skeptical about the science that shows what they're doing is causing any harm. The whale watch boats are equally dependent on the health of the orcas as are people who are concerned about them as a species.
He didn't quite deliver the punch line for which I was hoping: a sustainable whale watching industry would lead in the reduction of all risks identified in the recovery plan — not just donating time and money to save Pacific salmon or working to clean up persistent pollutants, but proactively reducing potential vessel effects in accordance with all available science and the precautionary principle. Why not support the proposed vessel regulations — even propose to strengthen them (e.g. by adding a 7 knot speed limit within 400 yards throughout their critical habitat despite enforcement logistics), enjoy the short-term PR benefits of setting a stellar example, invest in binoculars and range finders, and then work with NOAA to abate the economic impacts (relax the rules, re-hire workers, grow the fleet) later if recovery occurs and new research justifies being less conservative?

The stations that are to be used on the London Crossrail line are presently having all the Chewing Gum removed from their platforms by four Steam Clean Systems Gum Gulper Street Carts. The amount of gum left on the platforms is simply mind boggling. In one four and a half hour shift the 4 machines are removing upwards of 12,000 wads of gum, some of which is reckoned to have been there for over ten years.
It's certainly testament to the Gum Gulper Street Cart's Super Ability.

Warning not given in water contest
From the Associated Press
SACRAMENTO —
Two participants in a radio station's water-drinking contest with a 28-year-old mother of three who later died said they were not warned they could be putting their health at risk, a newspaper reported Monday.
Gina Sherrod said that family members listening to the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest on KDND-FM told her that a nurse called into the program to warn that drinking too much water was dangerous, but that she did not worry until she learned of Jennifer Lea Strange's death.
"I was so scared," Sherrod told the Sacramento Bee on Sunday. "I had the hardest time going to sleep last night because I was afraid I wouldn't get up."
Strange was one of about 18 people who vied for a Nintendo Wii gaming console early Friday by seeing how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom. She was found dead several hours later.
The Sacramento County coroner said she died of water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia, which occurs when the body's sodium level falls below normal.
Overdrinking dilutes the sodium in the bloodstream, causing the brain to swell and push against the skull. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weakness and, in severe cases, seizures, coma and death.
During the contest, participants were given two minutes to drink an 8-ounce bottle of water and then given another bottle to drink after a 10-minute break.
Contestant James Ybarra said he quit after drinking eight bottles, but Strange, who placed second, and others kept going, even after they were given larger containers.
Strange showed other participants photographs of her two sons and daughter, for whom she was hoping to win the prize, Ybarra said.
"It is sad that a mother had to lose her life to get something for her kids," he told the newspaper. "None of us knew this could be a risk to our health."
Contestants qualified for the event by recounting the worst Christmas gifts they'd received. Strange said her worst gift was a set of champagne flutes wrapped like roses that shattered when she opened them, Sherrod said.
Strange also mentioned that she and friends had sixth-row tickets to a Justin Timberlake concert that night.
Sherrod said she managed to drink half of a larger bottle before she became nauseated and had to leave.
"I felt drunk and really out of it," she said.
Strange's mother found her daughter's body at home Friday in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova after Strange called her supervisor at her job to say she was heading home in terrible pain.
Strange's husband, William Strange, 27, issued a written statement late Sunday in which he described his wife's giving nature.
"Friday, Jennifer was just her bright, usual self," he wrote. "She was trying to win something for her family that she thought we would enjoy.... We miss her dearly. She was my girl."

The good news is our reservoirs are full but the bad news is after all the rain we have had in the past month the river is to high to effectively do the cleanup below the De Soto Ramp on this Saturday, October 18.Westar's Green Team was bringing a line truck to lift heavy objects over to the ramp where a skid loader would transport heavy items up the ramp to dumpsters arranged for by the city of De Soto. We so appreciated both Westar and De Soto for helping us plan this and we will RESCHEDUAL most likely in March.
Many of Friends of the Kaw's group float trips start at the De Soto ramp and cleaning up this area will give float participants a better first impression of the river. We are grateful for the efforts of the City of De Soto and Westar Green Team and also a grant from REI to accomplish this clean up.
Volunteer Water Monitoring Training – IS STILL ON!
Friends of the Kaw is hosting a second 3 hour, hands-on, super fun volunteer training session on Saturday, October 18 from 1 to 4pm at the De Soto Access Ramp. In this training, you will conduct both chemical and non-chemical water monitoring tests. You will seine for macroinvertebrates and learn to identify them. You will measure impervious surface area and determine runoff volumes. You"ll have lots of fun and you might even accidentally learn something! Most of the training will be outside at a water site so please dress appropriately and wear shoes that can get wet! Lunch will be provided at 12:30pm.
We are training volunteers to help us with our new Kids About Water (KAW) project that we will implement in middle school and high school classes this year. We had six people attend the session on Oct. 7 and all had a great time.
For more information or to RSVP contact the Kansas Riverkeeper!
Take Immediate Action! Time is short!
Don't let politics trump science.
On October 16, the Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will determine the future of nongame wildlife in Kansas.
The Commission legally responsible for conservation of wildlife in Kansas is being asked by KDWPT Secretary Jennison to remove protection for the harmless redbelly snake strictly for political and economic reasons.
For 40 years, identification and protection of threatened and endangered species in Kansas has been based on science.
If the Commission approves delisting for political reasons, the Kansas wildlife protection act will be gutted. A precedent will be established that will put some 60 currently listed species in Kansas at risk.
We simply can't let this happen. Take action for Kansas critters.
Tell the KDWPT Commission to retain threatened status for the redbelly snake on October 16. Allowing politics to trump science is unacceptable.
A recent survey concluded that over 90% of Kansans support protection of nongame species and their habitat.

Here's a set of gold wires that I twisted, photographed, and extracted. Enjoy!
Ohhh, these look so cool - thank you!
Thank you Deb! You always know what kind of stuff people like and want to use!
Great job! Thank you very much.
They look beautiful! How can you extract so fine!
These are great, thank you.
Such great twists on these, thanks for making and sharing, have a great weekend.
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 2 post on Apr. 24, 2010. Thanks again.
Thank you for the Gold Wires. I like the one with the heart.
Thank you. They look fantastic.
You come up with the coolest things!! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so talented! Thanks for sharing these.


Spring has sprung! After months of static cling hair, dark makeup tones and chapped lips, we're ready to break out some colorful beauty goodies.
Embrace the "it" color of the season—blue. Believe it or not, a stroke of blue revitalizes dull, tired eyes. Lining just the lower lashes in cobalt instead of your usual brown or black adds nearly effortless pop. Choose a soft pencil and apply it very close to the lashes, smudging with a small brush. If you want the color to stand out more, layer a similarly hued shadow on top. To define more of the eye, use a soft, neutral shadow, such as champagne, on lids and line the top lashes in black.
If red lipstick is the LBD of the beauty world, then fuchsia is the leather jacket. This season's orchid color is feminine yet edgy. To achieve this look, layer a matte fluid formula under a cream lipstick for a vibrant, longwearing finish. (Try MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Personal Statement and To Matte With Love, $20 each, and lipstick in Girl About Town and Flat Out Fabulous, $17 each.) For a more subtle color, try Nars Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Années Folles, $26. The lavender hue is surprisingly flattering.
The days are slowly getting longer and you know what that means – it's almost time to trade our winter sweaters for cute tops and our snow boots for sandals. But before you start stocking your wardrobe with shorts, sleeveless tops and sundresses, there are a few skin issues you need to take care of. Just like animals shed their winter coats, you, too, need to shed all the dry, dead skin from your body. To do this, use an exfoliating cloth or brush with a good scrub all over your face and body while you're in the shower. (Use something gentler on your face.) Replenish your skin's hydration by applying a soothing lotion all over, and don't neglect your elbows or feet, which probably have a few dry patches after a long winter. And even though you've been avoiding your razor since October, now is the time to get back into your hair removal routine—be it waxing, shaving or lasering. No matter what the method, be sure to moisturize afterwards and always use sunscreen.
Color not really your thing? What about sparkle? Go 24 karat with a gold shadow, or full Cleopatra with black, winged liner and a bold wash of gold glitter. A few swipes of light-reflecting metallic eyeliner can pull your look together, stat. Copper or bronze are best for those with green, brown or hazel eyes, and silver or gold for blue peepers. Used along top, bottom or both lash lines, it's more powerful than shadow but not quite as heavy as the typical pigmented liners.
But don't let your face have all the fun—paint on three to four coats of glitter polish to get a chunky, raised effect. To up the shine, paint on three layers of glossy topcoat. Even if you're only heading to the grocery store, a metallic sheen gives a rich flair to your entire look. Bye-bye dark manis, hello pretty pastels and bright hues! This spring, the color of the moment is anything that makes your fingers sparkle.


Phiona Mutesi is a Ugandan girl, who until recently was relatively unknown at home, and is now making international headlines. Her story is the subject of a new Disney movie dubbed 'Queen of Katwe,' a biopic chronicling her rise to Chess Master despite a lack of formal education.
The new uplifting drama "Queen of Katwe" starring Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo had its world premiere last weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The film follows Phiona Mutesi who is living in poverty with her siblings and mother – played by Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o) in the Katwe slum until she stumbles across a chess class run by charity worker, Robert Katende, played by David Oyelowo.
Despite hardships, Phiona Mutesi's ability to play chess is amazing– and her journey to international stardom is incredible. Her big break came when Sports Illustrated writer Tim Crothers wrote a book titled "The Queen of Katwe" describing Phiona's life. Lupita Nyong'o shared the unique experience of playing the chess champion's mother.
In addition to all the accolades, Phiona has traveled the world and met her hero; chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov. Inspired by her example, Ugandan children are taking up chess like never before.
Paul Ndiho was one of the first international journalists to bring Phiona Mutesi's story to light nearly four years ago.

On Tuesday 6th September 2022, WJ joined more than 800 clients, contractors, designers and geotechnical experts in Central London for the annual Ground Engineering Awards.
For many, the Ground Engineering Awards mark the culmination of a year of hard work, and celebrate the achievements of companies and individuals in a wide range of categories from awards for innovation, excellence, and community engagement to individual rising star awards, to projects of the year for a wide range of values.
This year WJ were competing for the illustrious title of "Contractor of the Year", which "celebrates the achievements of geotechnical contractors or specialist geotechnical divisions within general contracting firms that can demonstrate achievement of clear business milestones over the last year and a half. The award will celebrate firms that have continually delivered innovation, quality and value between January 2021 and March 2022, while growing in terms of revenue, profits and staff numbers".
Unfortunately, on this occasion we were up against very stiff opposition and were beaten to the award by Bachy Soletanche. We were however highly commended, with judges noting:
"A great presentation full of energy, responded strongly to the criteria…."
Whilst it is always disappointing not to come away victorious, everyone at WJ had a wonderful evening, and are very proud of our commendation, and thankful for all the hard work our staff have put in over the last 12 months. Hopefully next year we can home from the evening as winners!

Christmastime is here. And with the season comes a wish of warmth and togetherness— time spent in the company of those we love. Though the days are short and dark and the nights aren't fit for man nor beast, we brighten up the holidays with our laughter and light hearts. It's easier to fill the days with cheer when we're with ou r families and close friends.
I'll be traveling to Milwaukee this weekend for my extended family Christmas get-together. My immediate family and I already celebrated our gathering, so this weekend is dedicated to seeing my cousins, aunts, and uncles. That's why I'm taking the next few days off.
Every family has their own holiday traditions and, while any tradition is liable to change from time to time, some never will. It had always been my family's holiday tradition to gather all cousins, aunts, and uncles at my grandfather's house for general visitation, dinner, and a gift exchange that always resulted in a pretty wicked wrapping paper fight. We created lifelong memories in that house and so many great times.
But times have changed now. We're unable to gather at my grandfather's house anymore, but we still get together to make Christmas special. We all tend to get pretty into the holiday spirit, so there's sure to be lots of food, festivities, and laughs! What's most important, however, is that we all stop our busy lives for at least this one day and we celebrate with the people we love.
From everyone here at Everything Summer Camp, here's wishing you nothing but the warmest wishes for you and your families' holiday traditions. Enjoy this merry season and be sure to make it bright. As always, thanks for reading. I'll be back next Monday with a brand new camp spotlight!

2nd guilty plea planned in alleged plot to kidnap Whitmer
Published: February 7, 2022, 10:56 AM Updated: February 7, 2022, 4:26 PM
FILE - In a photo provided by the Kent County Sheriff, Kaleb Franks is shown in a booking photo. Franks, charged in an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has agreed to plead guilty, according to documents filed Monday, Jan. 7, 2022, leaving four people to face trial in March. Franks said he willfully conspired with five other men to kidnap the Democratic governor before FBI agents stepped in and arrested the group in October 2020.

DETROIT – A man charged in an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has agreed to plead guilty, according to documents filed Monday, giving prosecutors another insider who could be a key witness at a March trial.
Kaleb Franks said he would join Ty Garbin as the second person to admit guilt in a scheme to snatch the Democratic governor before FBI agents arrested them in October 2020. The decision leaves four other men to face trial.
The government said the group wanted to kidnap Whitmer because of disgust over her COVID-19 restrictions.
Franks signed a document agreeing to plead guilty as charged, admitting he "was not entrapped or induced to commit any crimes" by undercover agents or informants. Garbin pleaded guilty in 2021 and was sentenced to slightly more than six years in prison.
Franks will appear in court Wednesday. He acknowledged that he was deeply involved in the plot, which included outdoor training with firearms in Wisconsin and Michigan and scouting Whitmer's second home in northern Michigan.
In August 2020, less than two months before their arrest, Franks said he and a co-defendant "discussed their frustration with people who advocated anti-government action but were unwilling to use force themselves."
The plea deal suggests Franks, like Garbin, could offer crucial testimony against the remaining defendants at the March 8 trial in Grand Rapids. While there is no agreement on the length of his prison sentence, Franks could be rewarded if he "materially and substantially assists" the government.
A message seeking comment from Franks' attorney wasn't immediately returned.
Brian Legghio, a criminal defense lawyer who is not involved in the trial, said Franks' cooperation can strengthen the government's case.
"It makes it more difficult for the defense to successfully argue entrapment," Legghio said. "Jurors will believe people who plead guilty, even if the defense team is effective at cross-examining them. They can be a very powerful tool in explaining that the conspiracy and illegal activities were genuinely undertaken."
Franks' decision to plead guilty followed key rulings in the government's favor about trial evidence. U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said he wouldn't allow the defense to use more than 250 out-of-court statements to try to bolster an entrapment argument. He said the remarks would be hearsay unless the men sat in the witness box and were cross-examined.
Evidence collected by investigators includes hours of secretly recorded conversations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler recently quoted Adam Fox as telling an informant: "I want to have the governor hog-tied, laid out on a table while we all pose around like we just made the world's biggest" drug bust.
Besides Fox, who is described as a ringleader, the remaining defendants are Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta.
When the kidnapping case was filed in 2020, it added even more heat to the final weeks of a tumultuous election season.
Whitmer pinned some blame on then-President Donald Trump, saying his refusal to denounce far-right groups had inspired extremists across the country. Trump had earlier urged supporters to "LIBERATE" Michigan and two other states led by Democratic governors from stay-at-home mandates.

Vermont Health Equity Initiative vaccine clinics are back. Here's why.
Lilly St. Angelo
Vermont Health Equity Initiative will have a clinic Saturday, Dec. 4, at Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Burlington for people of color to receive COVID vaccines, boosters and child vaccines.
As COVID cases increase again and the Omicron variant makes a landing in the United States, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention remains adamant about the importance vaccinations and boosters. In Vermont, a gap in vaccination rates remains for people of color and Vermont Health Equity Initiative is again trying to solve it.
The non-profit, one of the first organizations dedicated to health equity in Vermont led by a person of color, organized vaccine clinics in May and June for people of color to help close the initial large gap of 13 percentage points in vaccine disparity in March. They administered 3,400 vaccines. Now the gap is at 2 percentage points with 78% of Vermonters of color having received their first dose compared to 80% of non-Hispanic white people.
The gap in getting booster shots, however, is higher at 10 percentage points and the gap in child vaccinations is 4 percentage points. Vermont Health Equity Initiative's upcoming weekend clinics aim to close these gaps by providing translation services, an information session and a safe space for people of color to receive vaccines.
"BIPOC folx and families have experienced trauma within the 'normal' hospital or medical system for generations," said Weiwei Wang, executive director of Vermont Health Equity Initiative, in a statement. "Therefore, we offer a space for them that is culturally sensitive, culturally affirming, and safe. We are here to bring this community a quality vaccination service that acknowledges their humanity and dignity."
Vermonters of color were able to get COVID vaccines and boosters before the vaccines opened up to everyone because of their higher vulnerability to the virus due to systemic inequalities. Vermont was the only state to have named people of color as a category for vaccine rollout and received criticism and pushback for it.

At this Saturday's clinic, pediatric vaccines will be available from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and Pfizer vaccines and booster shots will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jennifer Rosenblum, Vermont Health Equity's communications director, said while the sessions are separate on the schedule, families with kids and adults are able to get all their shots during either session.
Vermont Health Equity will also have an online information session on child vaccines with Dr. Anthony Williams, a family medicine physician at University of Vermont Medical Center on Dec. 7. People can register online (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bipoc-community-virtual-conversations-covid-19-pediatric-vaccination-tickets-221665195567) to attend.
Rosenblum said each weekend's clinic has a different schedule. Clinics will happen every other Saturday, with the exception of New Year's Day, through March 19, 2022. Check Vermont Health Equity's social media for the latest details. Register for a vaccine and see clinic dates at https://www.vermonthealthequity.org/

FILE - This June 16
Soccer interactions dwarf other events on Facebook
In a week, Facebook says 141 million people have connected about the World Cup
Jun. 20, 2014 10:00 a.m.
By David Bauder, The Associated Press
NEW YORK – Through one week of the World Cup, Facebook has already seen more people having more interactions about the tournament on the social media site than it had for the Sochi Olympics, Super Bowl and Academy Awards combined.
A total of 141 million people have commented about, "liked" or shared posts on Facebook about the World Cup, the company said Friday. There have been 459 million different interactions on it.
Much of the action is international: 85 per cent of the people talking about the World Cup on Facebook are from outside of the United States. There are 1.28 billion people on Facebook worldwide, 80 per cent of them living outside the U.S.
"We always see a large level of conversation on Facebook around big sporting events," said Justin Osofsky, the company's vice-president of global operations and media partnerships. "But what we're witnessing around the World Cup has been extraordinary."
By contrast, the Super Bowl engaged some 50 million people on Facebook, the Sochi games 45 million people and the Oscars 11.3 million people, the social media site said.
Facebook has targeted the World Cup as part of its effort to become a site with more real-time conversation and news distribution around big events, functions where many people think of Twitter first. Facebook is promoting World Cup-related hashtags, has a special World Cup-related section and heavily promotes celebrity-related posts.
A photo posted by Pitbull, who performed at the opening ceremonies, has received more than 1.2 million interactions, as has a photo posted by Brazilian soccer star Neymar, Facebook said.
Facebook is also working with other media outlets to increase its exposure. One of the most prominent is Univision, the broadcaster with the Spanish-language rights to telecast the World Cup in the United States, which is featuring details about Facebook postings on its telecast. For CNN International, Facebook is constantly measuring what topics surrounding the World Cup are getting the most attention.
"In a fundamental sense, we're just getting started," Osofsky said.

314. CRIME WAVE (1985)
January 11, 2018 Giles Edwards	2 Comments
AKA The Big Crimewave
"I'd always imagined that this would play at a midnight movie, kind of a cult movie and that this needed special handling. It needed to be directed at the same audiences that were going to see, for example, Lynch's Eraserhead."–John Paizs
DIRECTED BY: John Paizs
FEATURING: Eva Kovacs, John Paizs, Neil Lawrie
PLOT: A young girl named Kim observes a moody boarder named Steven who has moved into the room above her parents' garage as he attempts to write the world's greatest "color crime movie." As he despairs from writer's block, she elicits the help of a Doctor C. Jolly from an ad in a trade magazine. However, the good doctor is not quite the savior Steven sets out to find.
 BACKGROUND:
Initially, filming took place only on weekends, as John Paizs was working for the City of Winnipeg as a traffic clerk at the time. A glimpse of his day job can be seen in Crime Wave when Kim and Steve go out on an errand during the costume party.
Paizs' style evolved from the director's technical limitations, his earlier short film efforts being shot on old equipment without any microphones. He developed a taste for narration, as it allowed him to jump around scenes without confusing the audience. (Paizs' early short films are currently unavailable).
The "above the garage" character came from a previous script concerning a young man pursuing an 18-year-old girl who regresses back to 13-year-old behavior. Unhappy with the story, Paizs transplanted the character to Crime Wave, making the female lead an actual 13-year-old and knocking out the romance angle.
Paizs based the staccato pacing of the "beginnings and endings" on trailers for 1950s crime movies.
Paizs signed a distribution deal with a company who promptly ignored the film. It received no theatrical release outside of Winnipeg, and years later was dumped on VHS (retitled The Big Crime Wave to avoid confusion with Sam Raimi's Crimewave) without much in the way of promotion.
Although Paizs' post-Crime Wave career has been slight, some might have seen his work directing segments of "The Kids in the Hall" (such as the "Mr. Heavyfoot" character). After seeing Crime Wave, the troupe's Bruce McCulloch recruited Paizs to film standalone short segments in a similarly whimsical-surreal style.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Our narrator, Kim, often observes our hero, Steve, as he stands or sits brooding by the window above her parents' garage. This recurring image telegraphs that something is about to change for the protagonist, while giving Crime Wave a silent movie feel. Indeed, Steve's movements, tics, and expressions (or lack thereof) summon nothing less than a latter-day Buster Keaton.
THREE WEIRD THINGS: Silent protagonist; streetlight head; "The Top!"
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: Veering between self-aware amateurism and downright surreal amateurism, John Paizs' feature debut keeps the viewer on his back foot in an unlikely, charming way. Partially dressed as a documentary, with narration provided by a young girl, Crime Wave shows the hell of writer's block, interspersed with clips of the breathless beginnings and endings (never middles) of the writer's output. Its hokey upbeat tone wryly slaps you in the face, while in the background strange and occasionally sinister asides undercut the atmosphere.

225. ADAPTATION. (2002)
CHARLIE KAUFMAN: I've written myself into my screenplay.
DONALD KAUFMAN: That's kind of weird, huh?
—Adaptation.
DIRECTED BY: Spike Jonze
FEATURING: Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Brian Cox
PLOT: Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, fresh off the hit Being John Malkovich, is contractually and mentally trapped as he is forced to plow his way through an impossible project: "writing a movie about flowers." Things go from bleak to bizarre as he finds himself competing with his endearingly oblivious twin brother, Donald, who also aspires to be a screenwriter. Charlie slips further and further past the deadline, until things come to a head in the film's swampy denouement where he comes face-to-face with both the writer of and titular character from "The Orchid Thief ," the book he is adapting for the screen.
The screenplay for Adaptation. was on Charlie Kaufman's to-do list since the late '90s. Tasked with adapting Susan Orlean's novel-length essay "The Orchid Thief" and suffering the same problems as his doppelganger, he kept his progress secret from everyone other than Spike Jonze until 2000, when the movie was green-lit for production.
Screenwriting guru Robert McKee and his seminars are real. He personally suggested Brian Cox play him in the movie.
Adaptation. handily recouped the producers' investment, with a return of $32.8 million worldwide on a $19 million outlay.
Nominated for four Oscars: best actor for Cage, supporting actor for Cooper, supporting actress for Streep, and adapted screenplay for Charlie and Donald Kaufman. Cooper was the only winner.
Though "Donald" Kaufman's serial killer script The 3 was never shot, the idea may have inspired two subsequent movies, 2003's Identity and 2006's Thr3e.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Returning from a misfired date, Charlie finds his twin brother already back home from a writer's seminar, brimming over with newly adopted wisdom. As Charlie stands in front of his hallway mirror, Donald's face is captured in the reflection as he expounds upon his own screenplay's "image system" involving broken mirrors. Charlie's expression goes from dour to disbelieving at this inanity, and the viewer sees the movie mock both itself and screenplay tricks. A further twist is added by the fact that the blurry reflection in the mirror is the face of the actual Charlie Kaufman talking to Nicolas Cage.
THREE WEIRD THINGS: Film-within-a-film-within-a-screenplay-within-a-screenplay ; Ouroboros; orchid-snorting
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: For all its unconventionality, Adaptation is amazingly self-deprecating. Spoilers unravel in opening scenes and are tossed aside, coastal city elites are presented as real people with the petty little problems real people have, and Nicolas Cage gains a bit of weight and loses a bit of hair to provide the compelling double performance as the Kaufman brothers. Events seem scattershot, only to have their purposes later clarified as the tightly structured flow keeps the viewer jumping from moment to moment, always questioning which parts of this convoluted tale are actually true.

51. BARTON FINK (1991)
March 3, 2010 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies)	2 Comments
"And the king, Nebuchadnezzar, answered and said to the Chaldeans, I recall not my dream; if ye will not make known to me my dream, and its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and of your tents shall be made a dunghill."–Daniel 2:5, the passage Barton reads when he opens his Gideon's Bible (Note that the Coen's actually depict it as verse 30, alter the wording slightly, and misspell "Nebuchadnezzar").
"Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead."– Gene Fowler
DIRECTED BY: Joel Coen
FEATURING: John Turturro, John Goodman, Michael Lerner, Judy Davis, John Mahoney, Jon Polito, Steve Buscemi
PLOT: Barton Fink is a playwright whose first Broadway show, a play about the common man, is a smash success; his agent convinces him to sell while his stock is high and go to Hollywood to quickly make enough money to fund the rest of his writing career. He arrives in Los Angeles, checks into the eerie art deco Hotel Earle, and is assigned to write a wrestling picture for Wallace Beery by the Capitol pictures studio head himself. Suffering from writer's block, Barton spends his days talking to the insurance salesman who lives in the room next door and seeking writing advice from alcoholic novelist W.P. Mayhew, until deadline day looms and very strange events begin to take center stage.
At the time, it was widely reported that the Coen brothers wrote the script for Barton Fink while suffering from a mean case of writer's block trying to complete the screenplay to their third feature film, Miller's Crossing. The Coens themselves have since said that this description is an exaggeration, saying merely that their writing progress on the script had slowed and they felt they needed to get some distance from Miller's Crossing by working on something else for a while.
Barton Fink was the first and only film to win the Palme D'or, Best Director and Best Actor awards at the Cannes film festival; after this unprecedented success, Cannes initiated a rule that no film could win more than two awards. Back home in the United States, Barton Fink was not even nominated for a Best Picture, Director or Actor Oscar. It did nab a Best Supporting Actor nom for Lerner.
The character of Barton Fink was inspired by real life playwright Clifford Odets. W.P. Mayhew was based in part on William Faulkner. Jack Lipnick shares many characteristics, including a common birthplace, with 1940s MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer.
Following a definite theme for the year, Judy Davis also played an author's muse and lover in another surrealistic 1991 movie about a tortured writer, Naked Lunch.
According to the Coens, the final scene with the pelican diving into the ocean was not planned, but was a happy accident.
In interviews the Coens have steadfastly disavowed any intentional symbolic or allegorical reading of the final events of the film, saying"what isn't crystal clear isn't intended to become crystal clear, and it's fine to leave it at that" and "the movie is intentionally ambiguous in ways they [critics] may not be used to seeing."
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Barton Fink is full of mysterious images that speak beyond the frame. The most popular and iconic picture is John Goodman wreathed in flame as the hallway of the Earle burns behind him. Our pick would probably go to the final shot of the film, where a pelican suddenly and unexpectedly plummets into the ocean while a dazed Barton watches a girl on a beach assume the exact pose of a picture on his hotel wall.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: A nightmarish, expressionistic, and self-satirizing evocation of the difficulty of creation, Barton Fink pokes a sharpened stick into the deepest wounds of artistic self-doubt. A pure mood piece, its amazing ending achieves the remarkable triumph of leaving us with nothing but unanswered questions, while simultaneously feeling complete and whole.
COMMENTS: The most accurate word to describe Barton Fink is "enigmatic." It's a work Continue reading 51. BARTON FINK (1991) →

34. STALKER (1979)
August 20, 2009 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies)	20 Comments
"My dear, our world is hopelessly boring. Therefore, there can be no telepathy, or apparitions, or flying saucers, nothing like that. The world is ruled by cast-iron laws, and it's insufferably boring. Alas, those laws are never violated. They don't know how to be violated…. To live in the Middle Ages was interesting. Every home had its house-spirit, and every church had its God."–Writer, Stalker
DIRECTED BY: Andrei Tarkovsky
FEATURING: Aleksandr Kaidanovsky, Anatoli Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Alisa Freindlich
PLOT: A mysterious phenomenon known as the Zone arises in a small, unnamed country. The military sent soldiers in and the troops never returned; they cordon off the Zone with barbed wire and armed guards, but rumors persist within the populace that inside the Zone is a room that will grant the innermost wish of anyone who enters it. A Stalker, a man capable of evading both the police and the traps formed by the Zone itself, leads a writer and a scientist into the Zone in search of the mystical room.
For information on director Tarkovsky, see the background section of the entry for Nostalghia.
Stalker is very loosely based on a science fiction novel with a title translating to "Roadside Picnic" written by two brothers, Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.
After shooting the outdoor scenes for over a year on an experimental film stock, the entire footage was lost when the film laboratory improperly developed the negatives. All the scenes had to be re-shot using a different Director of Photography. Tarkovsky and Georgy Rerberg, the first cinematographer, had feuded on the set, and Rerberg deserted the project after the disaster with the negatives.
Tarkovsky, his wife and assistant director Larisa, and another crew member all died of lung cancer. Vladimir Sharun, who worked in the sound department, believed that the deaths were related to toxic waste the crew breathed in while filming downstream from a chemical plant. He reported that the river was filled with a floating white foam that also floated through the air and gave several crew members allergic reactions. A shot of the floating foam, which looks like snow falling in spring or summer, can be seen in the film.
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened seven years after the film was released. The quarantined area around the disaster site is sometimes referred to by locals as "The Zone," and guides who illegally and unwisely take tourists there as "Stalkers."
A popular Russian video game named "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl" involves the player penetrating a "Zone" and evokes a similar visual sense as the movie.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Like most of Tarkovsky's works, Stalker is a movie full of awe-inspiring visual poetry and splendor, making it hard to pick a single sequence. One key scene that stands out is Stalker's dream. The film stock changes from color to sepia—but a very warm brown, almost golden—as the camera pans over a crystal clear stream. A female voice whispers an apocalyptic verse and the mystical electronic flute theme plays as the camera roams over various objects lying under the water: abstract rock formations, tiles, springs, gears, a mirror clearly reflecting upside down trees, a gun, an Orthodox icon, a fishbowl with goldfish swimming in it.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: Stalker is an ambiguous, but despairing, existential parable containing narrative non-sequiturs wrapped inside of strange and gorgeous visuals.

Q: How to send an arrayList from Apex to Javascript and then to HTML? I'm new in JS and can't understand, what is wrong here (this is my test value, but then I want to send an arraylist's elements):
Apex:
public String test{get;set;}
public String myApexMethod(){
    test = 'Hello!';
    return test;
}

JS and HTML:
<apex:actionFunction action="{!myApexMethod}" name="getResult"

rerender="script_block"/>
<apex:outPutPanel layout="block" id="script_block">

</apex:outPutPanel>

And I get nothing on my VF page (when the method is void - I get nothing too). How can I fix it?

A: This won't work, because onload only happens when the page loads, and we're way beyond that stage now. Instead, call the method in oncomplete, and that should work:
<apex:actionFunction action="{!myApexMethod}"
                     name="getResult"
                     oncomplete="func()"
                     rerender="script_block"/>

This change presumes you have some way of calling getResult elsewhere in the page. The return type of your Apex code should indeed be null. As an action method, you only use a return type if you intend to redirect to a new page.

The NY Distilling Co. is situated in a 5,000 square foot warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. One of many distilleries in the borough, NY Distilling Co. is the only one with a licensed bar attached to it. Launched by cocktail historian Allan Katz and the founder of the Brooklyn Brewery Tom Potter, the NY Distilling Co. was set up with a vision of creating a great Gin. Today, the distillery's Spirits lineup also includes two types of Rey Whiskeys.
Mister Katz grew up on the B&O railroad, spitting distance from the old Hannisville Distillery. In the days, before Prohibition there was all manner of entertainment to keep a young man's fancy: the ponies, chewing tobacco, malts at the drugstore, and an evening's treat of Rock & Rye.
This American classic Rock & Rye could once be found on the back bar of most noteworthy establishments. Marrying a youthful Rye Whiskey and rock candy sugar with sour cherries, cinnamon, and a wisp of citrus.
What does Mister Katz's Rock & Rye taste like?
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Mister Katz's Rock & Rye and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
Spice, cherry, citrus notes and baking spice.
A tasty sweet old fashioned-like drink that's not too thick.
What can I say, I love a sweet tasting whiskey and this is my new favorite! It's just enough sweetness to take the bite out without being thick like syrup. A perfect drink on the rocks!
Too sweet for my taste but good for what it's trying to be.
The spices take the bite out of the whiskey. We can all drink it neat or on rocks. Good stuff.
My first Rock n Rye. Didn't quite have an expectation as this was kind of a why not. Nice mix of a rye punch with the sweetness to take the edge off. On the rocks this makes a nice cocktail for the evening.

Can Criminal Justice, Out Now, Be to Hotstar What Sacred Games Is to Netflix?
By Nadeem Sarwar | Updated: 5 April 2019 14:56 IST
Criminal Justice stars Vikrant Massey, Pankaj Tripathi, and Jackie Shroff.
Criminal Justice has a total of ten episodes
It is directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Vishal Furia
The Hotstar series made its debut on April 5
Hotstar is betting it big on original content with five originals already announced under the 'Hotstar Specials banner. One of the bunch to come from Hotstar's stable is Criminal Justice, a remake of the BBC series by the same name, which is now out on Hotstar. The streaming service has roped in Tigmanshu Dhulia (Paan Singh Tomar, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster) and Vishal Furia (Lapachhapi) to share directorial duties, and Criminal Justice features an impressive star cast with some well-known faces such as Pankaj Tripati and Jackie Shroff. We got early access to Hotstar's latest offering, and after watching the first couple of episodes, here are our early impressions of the show.
Aditya, played by Vikrant Massey, is a student who drives a taxi to support his family, but gets embroiled in a murder mystery when he finds her dead after an intoxication-heavy one-night stand with a passenger. The rest of the story revolves around the innocent-faced accused's journey to clear his name, while intriguing plot lines cast a shadow over his piety as well as a deeper conspiracy behind the events. From the very first episode, Criminal Justice jumps straight to the main plot starting with the murder and leading up to the main character's arrest.
While Massey's portrayal of an affable, cultured guy helps paint the picture of a likeable lead who has been falsely accused of murdering a woman, it is the entry of Pankaj Tripathi (Gangs of Wasseypur, Mirzapur) as a down-on-his-luck lawyer named Madhav Mishra that adds a new dimension to an otherwise linear story. This one centres around Madhav's evolution from being a sleazy advocate into a man who now looks to be on a path of redemption, but is still struggling with his selfish motives. The rest of the cast also does a great job at making the narrative appear more gripping and genuine, especially those in the police department.
M.S. Dhoni and The Office Remake Part of Hotstar's First Five Originals
Vikrant Massey's portrayal of a seemingly innocent murder accused is quite impressive
The first couple of episodes of Criminal Justice do not reveal much, as they avoid weaving sub-plots to simultaneously introduce characters that might eventually turn out to be the conspirators, or the parties with a clean sheet. And so far, there are no instances that cast a grey cloud of doubt over the innocence of Massey's character, but that will almost certainly change in the subsequent episodes when the story moves forward, especially if the plot in its source material — BBC's Criminal Justice — is anything to by.
Watch the Trailer for Criminal Justice, Out April 5 on Hotstar
A commendable thing is Criminal Justice's raw depiction of the whole universe around criminal proceedings, particularly in India, using it as a nexus to depict themes such as corruption, police brutality, corporate crimes, and flawed justice.
The setting of the series is quite familiar, but not in a monotonous way. Tigmanshu Dhulia brings his brand of fearless, unabashed rendering of human emotions to Criminal Justice, and this lends some authenticity to the whole world depicted in the series. The contrast between the stoic honesty of a police chief and the greed of his subordinate, or the pure love of a woman and the seemingly decisive selfishness of her very own husband are a few elements that help Criminal Justice rise above being just a murder mystery with few surprises thrown into the mix.
Pankaj Tripathi shines as a lawyer who is struggling with moral dilemma and material desires
We are yet to see what role Jackie Shroff's (Hero, Ram Lakhan) character plays in the series, thanks to his no-show until the end of the second episode. Also, Pankaj Tripathi's lawyer is yet to blossom into the "surprising" character the actor has promised to fans. The typical Bollywood-esque background score and melodrama might seem bland and repetitive, but the slow addition of interesting new characters and plot elements somewhat obscures these minor shortcomings. The series does borrow some of the darkness from Netflix's smash-hit Sacred Games, but Criminal Justice's tone is considerably less "adult-oriented" when it comes to graphic violence, nudity, and language.
At the end of the first two episodes, we found Criminal Justice to be an engrossing tale that is yet to fully expand its wing and command the attention of viewers to an extent that they'll definitely watch it in one go. But the stellar work of the cast and Dhulia's familiarity with handling such tales (Haasil, Shaagird) make it a promising original series that can leave its mark.

Some remember my old posting about building a 7 segemnt crosstimer.
It's working fine since then, but now I'm thinking of building version 2.
I had some issuses with the first led and the power, which I try to solve in this version.
I don't have a power switch or something else. I always pull the plug.
As you can see I have power at the bottom and data on top. The overall length is about 2m (79in).
More photos are in the old thread linked at top.
More over I'm not using CAT6 cables for data. Should I consider running my data line twisted with a ground line?
Thanks for your help and thoughts!
I tried it with the diode array. But had no luck.
I used BAT 86 (Schottkydiode, 50 V, 0,2 A, DO-35).
- With diodes and data line resistors it work for a month.
The good part is, that the first leds don't get fried anymore. But now other parts of the segment stop working as shown in the attached images.
Let's see, if I can find something to solve this issue. May it be a problem of the brightness?
I guess, the problem comes from another side. Even if you try to install a maximum of protection, the idea of just plugging and pulling the plug seems bad in conjunction with what I guess are switched mode power supplies. Normally, at this degree of power consumption and the resulting currents, a more sophisticated circuitry is needed to prevent inrush/outrush currents on the primary and the resulting inrush/outrush voltage spikes on the secondary side.
The first suggestion which comes into my mind, is using power supplies which output a separate and delayed "power good" signal after they have stabilized. This could then be used to finally connect the power to the led stripes via relays or MOSFET switches.
I did a research and I think I will try the road with the power supply.
This article explains the different circuits used to limit the inrush and for my application it's to complex. Another article also describes some solutions. But still to complex.
So I found the MeanWell UHP-200A. It has a "DC Ok" pin. As shown in the Datasheet it's a switch, which I could hook up to the teensy and then switch the power with a Mosfet (IRFZ34N).
The Article on Adafruit states out, that I should connect first ground, then +5V and then the data lines. Should I go the route? My first idea was just do a high side switching with the mosfet when I get the dc ok signal and leave the rest as is.
I'll work an a shematic to make it more clear and do more reading.
But again, thank you Theremingenieur for pointing me in this direction.

Q: Jquery plugin not working! Hello Guys!
I have been trying to create a cool Image Slider using Jquery! I have created it's framework but I was starting with the basics in creating the plugins. My following code is not seems to be working at all! Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?

             <title>Content Slider</title>

THANKS IN ADVANCE

A: the problem lies with var element = this; and $(element+" img")
this refers to the current jquery object. it is not a string to concatenate to.
use
$("img", element).each(function(){/*your code here*/})

for the second part.

Or more useful if you want to have multiple sliders in the page
element.each(function(){
   $('img', this).each(function(){/*your code here*/});
})

The men's soccer team battled with Erie Community College to a 1-1 double overtime draw on Wednesday. The Kats came into the contest ranked 7th in the NJCAA Region 3 poll and FM would give them a tough day.
The Raiders took an early 1-0 lead, with a goal by Kevin Maldonado, off an assist by Yasser Mourad. FM held the one goal lead heading into halftime.
Erie came into the second half strong and scored ten minutes into the half. The rest of regulation play, both teams kept each other at bay and headed into overtime.
Yasser Mourad had a good chance three minutes into the first over time, but his shot hit the cross bar. Erie was able to dominate possession the rest of the first overtime, but was not able to find the back of the net.
In the second overtime period, Ahmed Mourad was able to get by the Erie goalie, but was unable to convert on a score. Jonathan Mendoza was stellar in goal for the Raiders and held the Kats to just one goal in the match.
"Today was a typical match between two great teams; each team had the run of play. We are not pleased with the draw, but drawing against a top 10 team that is nationally ranked isn't that bad. I hope this result sends a message that we are here to play, the days of easy wins are over," said Leggiero.
The Raiders will have a crucial road trip this weekend. FM will travel to play Niagara Saturday and Cayuga on Sunday.
