Awake! – Part 8 – Power/Authority
April 20, 2017 at 10:58 pm (WSGD Newes) (authority, power, Victory)
Matthew 28:16-20
So the eleven talmidim (disciples) went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua (Jesus) had told them to go. When they saw Him, they prostrated themselves before Him; but some hesitated. Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim (disciples), immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age."
Luke 10:17-20
The seventy came back jubilant. "Lord", they said, "with Your Power, even the demons submit to us!" Yeshua said to them, " I saw satan fall like lightning from Heaven. Remember, I have given you Authority; so you can trample down snakes and scorpions, indeed, all the enemy's forces; and you will remain completely unharmed. Nevertheless, don't be glad that the spirits submit to you; be glad that your names have been recorded in heaven."
The most important thing to being awakened is getting to know Yeshua the Messiah, first and foremost! The next priority is to know what it means to have been reborn through Him into the Kingdom that is more real and more important than the one we were born into as wee babes from our mothers wombs.
Think not, for one second, that Yeshua wasn't familiar with our temptations to be distracted by a very distracting world. Full of not just evil, but the goodness of God too.
Hebrews 4:14-16
Therefore, since we have a Great Cohen Gadol (High Priest) who has passed through to the highest heaven, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we acknowledge as true. For we do not have a Cohen Gadol unable to empathize with our weaknesses; since IN EVERY RESPECT HE WAS TEMPTED JUST AS WE ARE, the only difference being that He did not sin. Therefore, let us confidently approach the throne from which God gives grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need.
Fictionally, one could guess, that it went through His mind…
"Father, would it be so bad to remain Your faithful servant as a carpenter with Yoseph? It's good work, with many opportunities to do Your work."
"Father, look how Havah from the house of Samuel worships and serves You. I wonder, dear Father, what it would be like to have a wife and children such as You have made it to be?"
"Father, look, look how much You are needed here! So many blind, so many deaf, so many lost, would more time not be good?"
Of course, it's hard to speculate such things. Yeshua has a stigma that makes such speculations feel almost blasphemous! But, I digress to the truth of Hebrews 4. I don't think it's possible to speculate that He was tempted to evil. But tempted to do things different than His Father in heaven desired, exactly, yes, I think it's more than possible. Why?
Luke 22:41-43
He (Yeshua) went about a stones throw away from them, kneeled down and prayed, "Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me; still, not My will but Yours be done." There appeared to Him an angel from Heaven giving Him strength, and in great anguish He prayed more intensely, so that His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Look at that verse very closely, really read it. Most people skip the most important part, emphasizing only His willingness to yield to God. Which is highly important, mind you, I agree. But let's really look at the angel part, this angel comes to strengthen Him, God knew the temptation here needed extra attention, His compassion poured down onto our Saviour here. Yet, look! Yeshua prayed more intensely to the point of sweating like drops of blood – after – the angel came. I don't know about you, but often when I'm at a yielding point, the strength God sends to keep me headed in His direction comes with a fight. Head knowledge alone, of the right thing to do, is not the key. It's fighting the feelings, emotions and sometimes very physical nature to run the opposite way! So here we can see that Yeshua knows this as we do! Sometimes it's hard to understand why it was God's will that Yeshua not sin, and that He moved heaven and earth to keep that from happening, when it would seem that it's God's will that we sin. It doesn't seem fair.
For those of us who understand the very nature of God's plan through Yeshua from the beginning of time I need not break this down for you. For those of you who are stuck on this part of God and His nature and plan, may I suggest you study from the beginning (Genesis) asking Him, Himself to reveal to you the difference between us and Yeshua. This is the only way you will know for sure. There are hundreds of teachings on it, yes, but true knowing comes from our own "bloody searching" and I'm not being British in the pun. There's a searching that this world teaches, it's rather limp and easy to quit. The searching required to really know the free-setting-truth, is a lifetime commitment. As in you take your last breath looking. It does not take that long, but I'm driving this home to show the difference between a curious seeker, and a driven desire for God alone. This is why there are few who find the narrow path. As I said, this world, is distracting and can be very convincing, that it's ways can seem so trustworthy. To be awake, we must abandon the thought that this world's ways have any value whatsoever. To say that this is hard to do is an understatement. Yet, the rewards of having persevered to this goal is, at this moment in time, beyond telling. To get to the Kingdom where no desire to sin, no desire for anything but God's will is the total existence of man kind, this is the Promise that God has kept in Yeshua, with Yeshua, for us. This is the fellowship of Following Yeshua. Yes, we sin less and less, here and now, as we learn from Him, listen to and obey Him, and do the work He did/does until the Day comes when God – The Almighty and The Power of ALL, says "Enough!" to an enemy who defied Him long long ago, and set out to make of us "little defiler's" along with him. Misery loves company.
There is a very real and very significant authority we begin to exercise once Yeshua is Master and Lord of our lives. If we look around, and into the past, we find that the authority Yeshua spoke of in Luke 10, has obviously not been something many have understood. I'm learning. To be awake, and help others in the same way, we must learn what this means. What could be more important for us to dive into to study at such a time where the Great deception is in effect and it seems that the whole world is held in the grip of that power? How do we begin to understand the following scriptures if we don't fully lay hold of the authority Yeshua gives us?
John 16:33
"I have said these things to you so that, united with Me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris (troubles). But be brave! I have conquered the world!"
1 John 4:4-6
You, children, are from God and have overcome the false prophets, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore, they speak from the world's viewpoint; and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God doesn't listen to us. This is how we distinguish the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of error.
1 John 5:3-5
For loving God means obeying His commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome, because everything which has God as its Father overcomes the world. And this is what victoriously overcomes the world: our Trust. Who does overcome the world if not the person who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?
(There's more: Look them up😉. Romans 8:31-37; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58; 1 John 2:13)
At a critical hour one must be able to understand their resources, how they are obtained and the limit or limitlessness of them. We are at the critical hour, our resource is Yeshua, how He is understood and the limitlessness of all He is to us is of great importance!
✡ To the One who can keep us from falling and set us without defect and full of joy in the presence of His manifest Glory of God present with man – to God alone, our Deliverer, through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord – be glory, Majesty, power and Authority before all time, now and forever more. Grace and peace in Yeshua the Messiah! ✡

Our Hangout, Kealey Farmer
Kealey Farmer
The latest art news and exhibitions in Herts
Natural romance
Contemporary artist Kealey Farmer will be exhibiting and making a personal appearance at Montague's Gallery, Kings Langley, on October 1 from 7-9pm, when she will unveil her latest collection of three-dimensional contemporary art including new works on her popular tree theme created specially for the show.
Farmer, who volunteered to conduct art therapy with the charity Mind for two years, has evolved her work from early abstracts to incorporate 3D elements on raised and reflected surfaces. The results are hailed by critics as 'hinting at emotions and romanticism through strong evocative colours' and are adorned with handcrafted hearts and leaves.
Visit montaguesgallery.com
Picture Tring
The history of Tring is in the spotlight at the town's Natural History Museum this month with a special exhibition mounted by Tring and District Camera Club.
On show from October 9-November 21, the collection of images is part of a programme of events to mark the 700th anniversary of Tring receiving its Market Charter. The camera club organised an archive project as part of the programme to collect photographs and other memorabilia from the past, with the exhibition the result. The show also features entries for the club's 2015 photographic competition.
Glass Fair
Knebworth Barns hosts its annual Glass Fair on October 11 with a wide range of items on display from museum-quality pieces worth thousands to affordable gifts. Glass from all periods and genres will be on sale, from fine quality antiques to continental high design; retro collectables to pressed glass and paperweights and from jewellery to Georgian drinking glasses.
Contemporary studio glass, another field of interest to collectors, will again be represented by artists showing their own work from hand-blown cameo and graal pieces to sculpture, kilnforming, engraving and other skills. A glassblowing demonstration by Ed and Margaret Burke of E&M Glass is another feature. See knebworthhouse.com.
Watercolourist joins prestigious show
St Albans artist Julie Cooper is gaining nationwide exposure for her work after some of her paintings were selected for the prestigious 2015 Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.
The event, now in its 28th year, is the largest of its kind for contemporary watercolour painting in the UK. More than 1,200 works were presented this year for consideration by the panel, and 90 chosen for exhibition last month at the Mall Galleries in London. This exhibition is being followed by the Smith and Williamson Tour to Castle Fine Art, Birmingham from October 10-18 and Guildford House Gallery, Guildford, from November 14-January 2.

Gosh, how is it already the last Friday of March?! Maybe its the fact that it snowed twice in Connecticut last week – spring has yet to arrive – that has caught me by surprise of the month gone by.
I thought it'd be nice to send off March with a toast to Women's History Month. Although pink on the exterior, this scotch-based cocktail is anything but frilly.
Chivas 12 is certainly the most mixable of the spirits in this scotch's portfolio, with its woody nose and taste of ripe fruits (I remember apples from a previous tasting experience). The combination of both sweet and tart flavors, from the below cocktail's other ingredients, makes for a great balancing act. It's perfect for those ladies who truly love a well-made drink.
So without any further ado, Friday's Feature Cocktail is the Speyside Cosmopolitan.
Speyside Cosmopolitan
1 ½ parts Chivas Regal 12 yo
½ part Crème de Framboise or Hiram Walker Black Raspberry Liqueur
1/3 part Fresh lime Juice
1 part Cranberry Juice
Shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail mixing glass. Fine strain into a chilled martini glass.

Rutledge expands employee training operations in India
Coleraine-based Rutledge Recruitment and Training has used Invest Northern Ireland export support, including trade missions, to set up a franchise operation in Chennai that will help Indian companies develop employee skills.
The company, a leading provider of employee skills and training programmes in Northern Ireland, has established a master franchise, Rutledge Joblink, in Chennai as the first stage in a drive to expand business throughout India by means of a network of sub franchisees supplying programmes for companies and educational institutions.
The new business initiative in India was announced by Jonathan Doherty, Chief Executive of Rutledge Recruitment and Training, and welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director, during a visit to the company.
Dr Kell said: "This is an important development by Rutledge to extend the existing employee training services that it has been providing in India for some time, following its participation in one of our trade missions to this immensely important market. The company has also been advised and guided by our expert staff in the Invest NI Trade and Investment office in Mumbai.
"This success for Rutledge, the outcome of extensive market research, and experience on-the-ground there with companies and the education sector, will enable the company to build on existing contacts and expand its business across a nation which has a huge and growing
demand for skilled people in key industries, such as IT, finance, healthcare and sales and marketing, by means of an integrated network of franchisees.
"This ambitious company has taken time and invested the necessary resources to get to know the market and to identify the best channel for successful and profitable growth in a marketplace which offers vast opportunities for Northern Ireland companies, both large and small, to benefit from a dynamic economy. To assist companies such as Rutledge to succeed there, we've focused resources on developing our office in Mumbai and by organising a programme of trade missions and participation in major sectoral exhibitions," added Dr Kell.
Mr Doherty, outlining the company's plans in India, said: "We've developed our Global Employability Skills Programme for delivery through our master franchisee and sub franchisees. This is a direct response to India's huge and growing requirement for skilled people to meet the needs of companies in particular.
"The initiative is the result of our discussions with major corporations there about their existing and future skills and training requirements. We have developed a flexible approach which enables us to work with companies on developing the skills they need from existing and potential employees.
"It is a very significant and substantial expansion of the services we have been providing in India over the past five years. In addition, the project is designed to give us complete coverage of the vast Indian marketplace and represents a major investment by us in this exciting and dynamic marketplace.
"We appreciate greatly the very practical support from Invest NI, which first introduced us to the market opportunity and is continuing to be provided particularly by the Mumbai office. Invest NI trade missions are an important element in our business development strategy in India," Mr Doherty added.

Cerved re-confirms Green Network's B1.1 rating
Cerved Rating Agency S.p.A. re-confirms the B1.1 public rating of Green Network S.p.A.
The B1.1 Class rating is given to "a company that has an adequate ability to cope with financial commitments, which may be affected by serious and sudden changes in the economic and financial situations as well as the reference market. The credit risk is contained."
The confirmation of the B1.1 rating is closely related to the balance sheet/financial position shown in 2016 by the Green Network Group.
The economic results achieved in 2016 reflects the management strategy aimed at redefining the group structure. Green Network will further streamline in the short – medium term; focusing on energy and gas sales in micro-business, SME's and domestic markets. Thus to increase marginality; at the detriment of a contraction in business volumes.
2017 should benefit from the closure of cross-selling agreements with Conad, and the Sustainability Purchasing Group. As well as the start-up of retail activities in the UK, with the consequent expansion of its customer base.

"If These Walls
Could Talk 2″
Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO
"IF These Walls Could Talk 2," the next sound you'd hear would be orgasmic squealing. But for now, it's just the famous actresses who do all the naked, orgasmic squealing in HBO's trilogy about lesbian life through three decades.
So why is this an art film and not a dirty movie? Because the rolling, grabbing, naked ladies are big-deal actresses, it premiered at a museum, and teenage boys will watch it when their parents are home.
Told in trilogy style, "ITWCT2" is about the lives and love lives of lesbians in the '60s, '70s and (what do you call this decade anyway?) the 2000's, who all end up living in the same house at different periods of time.
In the first segment "1961," Edith (Vanessa Redgrave) is a retired "spinster" teacher living in the house with her lover of 50 years, Abby (Marian Seldes).
Soon as you see elderly Abby climbing a ladder to reach her bird house, you just know she's going to fall out of the tree and die — which she does. Unfortunately, Abby's money-grubbing heterosexual relatives come-a-grabbing. One minute they're swiping the bird figurines and the next, they're taking the whole house (which is in Abby's name). Both Redgrave and Seldes are incredibly good in this relentlessly sad segment.
If you haven't cried yourself into a coma, you'll find the next segment less touching, and definitely more titillating.
"1972" tackles the always-prominent social issue of whether you should be embarrassed if your lover dresses like a man, but isn't one.
A group of lesbian coeds who live in the house while attending a women's college hate their roomie Linda's (Michelle Williams) lover Amy, (Chloe Sevigny), because she is a motorcycle-riding, tie-wearing butch. They don't equate their own fight for acceptance with Amy's fight for independence. Or something.
In "Boys Don't Cry," Sevigny has an affair with a girl who dresses like a boy, but in "1972" she's the butch in men's clothing. (And let's get one thing, er, straight right off: Sevigny is one hell of a sexy guy.)
In part three, Sharon Stone (Fran) and Ellen DeGeneres (Kal) are caterers who want a baby. (If this sounds familiar, it's because last month Showtime aired an original movie "Common Ground" about three separate decades of gay life in one place, and believe it or not, the lesbian caterers in that movie were trying to have a baby with a turkey baster as well. )
Stone is a giggling idiot who is always making Jello and brownies when she's not taking it all off and having very explicit sex with DeGeneres.
If you thought you'd maybe live your whole life without seeing Ellen DeGeneres' breasts, think again.
I can't imagine you thought that about Stone because there's nothing left that anyone who's ever gone to the movies hasn't already seen. Several times.
More importantly, the humor in "2000" is so broad (why can't I stop making puns?) that it often hits you over the head. It's OK. 'You feel if you don't laugh, you're homophobic, instead of just bored.
Why a professional caterer uses a cheap, plastic turkey baster is really the question here. I mean, wouldn't she have a professional one?
Anne Heche, wrote and directed this segment, and how she didn't get jealous is beyond me.
How Stone's editor hubby can walk into the newsroom on Monday and not feel like a jerk is also beyond me.
There are so many naked panting women that a man could have directed the whole thing for "Playboy." Since these sex scenes are guaranteed to act like TV Viagra, zillions of guys who fantasize about lesbian sex will tune in which wasn't, I don't think, the intent.
"Larry! Are you watching Playboy?"
"Nah! It's only HBO."

Wave Optics
Certain applications require these calculations…
Certain applications require that light should be viewed as a wave. This mainly applies if there are apertures, blocks, and other obstructions in the light beam path. Diffractions cannot be neglected, and traditional ray tracing would provide insufficient or even incorrect data. An electromagnetic field with necessary amplitude and phase should be modeled instead. The complexity and calculation time increase somewhat.
If the light is also propagated through sub-wavelength structures, rigorous simulations are needed where the vectorial nature of light is taken into consideration.
We at Alfa Exx often work with diffraction spreading, from UV to IR radiation.
Examples of applications
1. reflection in gratings

As customers become more sophisticated in their browsing habits and rely on an ever-growing diversity of screen sizes and resolutions, digital storefronts must cater to consumers with content that their devices can easily digest. For most sites, that means appealing to visitors across the entire device spectrum, from smart phones and tablets to laptops and desktop computers. Many merchants choose to maintain a separate mobile site on a subdomain, such as m.example.com.
More recent technology, however, has allowed site owners to implement a responsive design. Rather than maintaining separate set of code existing on a separate subdomain, responsive design allows websites to adjust individual images and layouts to fit the resolution of the visitor's screen. As of today, Volusion is proud to offer a new range of responsive templates to meet the demands of mobile-conscious merchants.
Some of the benefits of responsive design include:
- A single code base for easier maintenance and search engine crawlability
- A seamless experience for users across all devices
- Higher click-through rates and lower bounce rates on mobile devices

Beautiful pair of earrings. Given as a gift to godson's girlfriend - she loved them.
I was a little wary of ordering jewellery on-line but was reassured by the positive reviews for the site. I can now add my positive review. The delivery arrived within 5 days, and the earrings look...
Nice style. Goes well with my Akoya Black Pearl Necklace. High quality.

"I was one of the first court-appointed arbitrators for the American Arbitration Association, and am frequently asked to sit as an arbitrator and mediator on personal injury cases. I provide free initial consultation to my clients and accept cases on a contingent fee basis."

After being on it for 2 days, I've had 5 'ladies' sms me, all urging me to text them back (and 3 of them saying white guys turn them on, I know no Aussie chicks that would say a stupid line like that). Not wanting to purchase credits, I just tried calling the number, its disconnected... Tried from a different phone, still disconnected. So I went into the technical support live chat, I asked them what the GO was with all the fake profiles, they copied and pasted some user agreement crap that had nothing to do with them using fake profiles, and closed the chat session, not allowing me to open again. Absolute total scam site. Stay away....
Great if you only wanna look at photos of hot chicks
Total crap if you think you might actually hook up with one.

Before we finish with currywurst, possibly forever, my Berlin correspondent Susanna Forrest directed me to an article she wrote for momondo.com. She writes: "Currywurst und Schampus in the Saturday Kollwitzplatz market have elevated Berlin's humble signature dish … into something ludicrously sophisticated. The pommes are served with truffle mayonnaise, and my pick, the "Spezial Currywurst" with creamy mayonnaise and raw red onion, is almost too rich to snarf." Interesting use of "almost" there. This is her picture of it:
She continues; "The ritziest wurst on offer is their 5€ Currywurst Gold, spiced with 22k gold leaf. Which is just silly. I don't dare eat it in case the next anti-yuppie demo in the Kiez lobs Molotov cocktails through my bedroom window." The internet suggests that there's quite a bit of gold-inflected currywurst about, like these two:
And if the one in the Kollwitzplatz market is really only 5€, then it's still cheaper than the gold-free version I had in LA.
I realized, and it wasn't exactly a stunning revelation, that I've never knowingly eaten gold-leaf. I was going to say I'd never tasted gold-leaf but then I don't believe anybody has actually tasted it: see below. In an interview in the Independent Sam Bompas (of Bompas and Parr) was asked about his "store-cupboard essentials." He said, "24-carat gold. It costs around £25 for 25 sheets. It doesn't have any flavour, but it makes for the most over-the-top desserts – it sparkles and is quite magical." Only a fool would argue with Sam Bompas.
I recall, a long time ago, being interviewed in my horrible, tiny London flat by a journalist from the Yorkshire Post. A bad idea. And it so happened that I'd cut out this image out and stuck it up on noticeboard in the kitchen:
In fact it's ravioli of scallops cooked by Garry Hollihead of L'Escargot, vermouth whole fresh truffles are also involved. I still have the cutting to this day, obviously. And I could see the journalist was fascinated by this, and was writing the piece in his head; "Humble writer lives in squalor but dreams of food covered with gold-leaf." This was not true – I'd cut the picture out because I found it so absurd. But possibly the journalist had something worse in mind, "Humble writer lives in squalor because he's spent all his money on food covered with gold-leaf." This was not true either. At the time my idea of a lavish night out was a meal at a dodgy Greek restaurant in the Harrow Road. Gold-leaf was not in evidence there, and even if it had been, I doubt whether it would have been enough to make their moussaka seem magical.

One thing I did not initially think about when I decided to place my daughter for adoption was how my friends were going to act and the way that friendships evolve and even end because of adoption.
When I first found out I was pregnant the only person who was really on my side was my best friend Kari. She listened to me and did her best to help me get through one of the hardest choices of my life. Even though she was hesitant of my choice, she was there for me no matter what. Our friendship has grown through the birth of my little girl and we are closer than ever. She was there for me no matter what and continues to be to listen to me whenever I need someone.
There were other friends however weren't as supportive. The little comments of "why would you do this" and "you could make it work" are so heartbreaking to hear during your time of need. Or even in the beginning when friends tell you that continuing the pregnancy is a mistake. Some friends act this way because they are worried for you, but some just flat out think you are wrong for doing this and those are the hardest ones to deal with.
After the birth of my daughter I had a close friend make negative comments about people who chose to have more children post placement. It was her opinion that the child placed for adoption will become extremely jealous of the children that are parented later in life. It was almost as though she felt that people who place should not have any more children in the future. It really upset me that someone so close to me could say such hurtful things about a choice that was so difficult to make. Yes, I want to have more children some day and I do not need anyone around telling me that I am selfish for having more children.
Since the birth of my daughter I have limited myself from the people who try to put down my decision and my relationship with my best friend has grown through this choice. I have also had other friends who have rose to the occasion and become extremely supportive and love hearing about the updates almost as much as I do.
It's not always easy to distance yourself from the wrong people though. During this time I felt like I needed these friends and maybe I was in fact making a bad choice. In the end however I had the realization that I was making the best choice for my child and I, and anyone who didn't think so could just go away.
you how to live your life, and honestly this is your decision and no one else is going to have to live with the aftermath in the same way you will. The one piece of advice you I wish I had heard earlier was to surround yourself with people who want to help. Be with people who love you and are there for you no matter what. Placing a child is no easy task, and having people around who are putting you down only makes it harder.
Have any of you had friendships grow through the placement of a child? Have you ever had a friendship dwindle or even end?

10.6.5 is available for download. Anyone installed it? any problems?
680mb download for me.
You tell us ....
Finally full support for exFAT! We shall se if avid supports them for media drives, what tranfers etc.
Finally full support for exFAT! We shall se if avid supports them for media drives, what tranfers etc.
Would that mean that we should be able to use external drives for both PC and Mac systems having them formatted as exFat without the need of any extra apps ?
YES! Apple had to start supporting exFAT because of SDXC cards (new SDHC). These cards are in exFAT format.
Nice, have to try a disc
didn´t find the exFat option in the disctools, any clues ?
Will see when update :)
I am on it, seems to work, a wet dream has come through, using MDV on my PC for organizing the files and projects that I wish to use on my Mac, or just to consolidate to the disc from the PC and carry it with me using it with the MBP
Seems like this thread became something quite different, sorry Dan, it might be related however.
I am on 10.6.5 now, MC seems to run well, I have just formatted a Wd My Book Studio 2 TB to exFat and moved my Mediafolders back to it from the MBP after having formatted it, I also copied my project folders to it.
Then I disconnected it and connected it to my PC station, opened it up and moved the project folders to my PC documents.
After that, I opened up Avid and went to the " Mac " folder , opened up a project that are only created on my MBP from scratch to finished project, I have it all on my PC now, even the precomputes, all is rendered, I can play it directly.
So, to summarize, I guess we all want 10.6.5 now
"you tell us"
Being so new to Mac I'm a bit gun shy about this Plus being new new MC that makes me double shy about installing. I guess I could backup everything and try it.
Dan, this isn´t about skill, it is about how brave you are and if you are willing to take the chance to loose a couple of days of work, noone can tell how an uncertified OS will work before having tried it and even if it works for some it might spoil the work for others.
I was brave this time however, or maybe the word is " dumb enough " the possibilities to maybe use the same drive on both my Mac and my Pc was something I wanted to try.
It isn´t working perfect however, the screen on my Mac goes black for one or two seconds when opening up and also switching between projects, maybe I will revert back.
So, now you know, if you want to try it for yourself is up to you to decide.
I updated to 10.6.5 today and after editing for 5 hours I can confirm that there are the same bugs as before (Bus error at Main Thread) which is what I honestly expected (it would be really sad if Avid's core functions would have been programmed in such a bad style so that a minor(!) system update would cause new bugs or application hangs - after all, everything inside an Avid window is pretty far away from "os x" look, feel, guidelines, controls, buttons, fonts, etc).
I didn't do any exports of timelines or Quicktime related stuff. Because that would be IMHO the most critical part concerning system updates.
Here some useful links:
Apple Release Notes on Mac OS X Update 10.6.5: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4250
Security patches in this update should be the same as in Security Update 2010-007.
Concerning ExFAT used with Harddisks:
On Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or SP3 you will need the update for the exFAT file system:
Microsoft Windows XP exFAT Update (Knowledge Base article KB955704)
I formatted a new external hdd (Western Digital MyBook) with MBR scheme and exFAT partition - works like a charm for data transfer between Mac and PC. :-)
Much better than FAT or FAT32 - have you ever tried copying a sequence of files (e.g. more than 2000 in a single directory) to an external FAT/FAT32 formatted harddisk connected to a Mac? After 2000-5000 files it becomes really really slow (i.e. less than a file per second)...
Best regards,
Just a note: FAT formatted drives - AFAIK - are not supported for use as media drives in Avid. If you want to carry media across platforms, there's still Paragon NTFS-for-Mac and Mediafour MacDrive.

Juan Cayro Delgado Moves Ahead In The Second Round Of Latin America Amateur Championship
Dominican Juan Cayro Delgado moved into a one-shot lead after the second round of the Latin America Amateur Championship at Casa de Campo's Teeth of the Dog today.
The 17-year-old picked up five birdies with just a solitary dropped shot at the par-4 8th on his way to a 4-under-par 68, which took him to 7-under 137 for the championship. Delgado is committed to playing golf for the University of Central Florida.
First-round leader Alvaro Ortiz, from Mexico, ground out a level par 72 to stay at 6-under-par, one off the lead. The 23-year-old scored birdies at the 2nd and 7th and showed composure to recover from a double bogey six at the par four 6th and a further dropped shot at the 8th to produce a 1-under back nine.
Peru's Luis Fernando Barco is on the same mark after a 3-under-par 69. The 2018 Mexican Amateur Champion enjoyed a mixed front nine to be level at the turn but then moved up a gear to card three birdies on the way in.
Barco's compatriot Julian Perico produced the lowest round of the championship so far with a 7-under-par 65 to move to two-under for the championship. Starting at the 10th, he raced to 5-under for the day at the turn and bounced back from a bogey at the par-4 6th, his 15th, with two closing birdies.
Chilean Agustin Errazuriz stayed in contention at 4-under alongside Andrey Borges Xavier from Brazil. Jorge Villar from Mexico and Dominican Enrique Valverde are a shot further back.
The cut mark fell at 5-over-par with 50 players progressing to the final two rounds.
Juan Cayro Delgado, 17, Dominican Republic: "I wasn't hitting the ball that great at first, and was able to keep momentum from my putter and then as the round went on I started to build momentum also with my ball‑striking and made some very good putts out there. I was able to put up some birdies and managed to only make one bogey out there and I was able to play and have a pretty good round."
Alvaro Ortiz, 23, Mexico: "It was for sure a complete struggle the whole 18 holes. I didn't have my best game today but I was just happy that my short game was there and I was able to get a good round going at the end. I don't think even par is a bad round today with wind blowing, conditions weren't perfect, and just happy that I'm in contention again for the weekend."
Luis Fernando Barco, 23, Peru: "I think [playing collegiate golf] definitely helped me, learning to play in different weathers and different conditions and different types of courses. Actually both courses at my school I went to, Purdue, they are a Pete Dye design, same as here. I kind of feel comfortable around it. It's helped me quite a bit. There's a lot of golf to play still, but we'll see how the weekend goes."
Andrey Borges Xavier, 17, Brazil: "I'm really, really happy to be here today. It's a dream for anyone to be here and play this tournament. I am really happy with today's round. I went out and played this morning, and I had a very nice score."
Augustin Errazuriz, 19, Chile: "I didn't start well, I was three over after five holes after missing my tee shots, but then I kind of relaxed and from hole 6 I started playing very well and I could finish with an under par round. I hit some great irons and left some balls really close. I'm so happy to be in the mix in this tournament with two days to go. Hopefully I can keep playing my game on the weekend, being calm and thinking well, not stressing. I only have to play my game and one shot at a time."
Julian Perico, 19, Peru: "Today I played great golf. I hit the ball as well as yesterday but I told my caddie if I can hole some putts I can shoot less than 68, and I shot 65, so that shows that If I get hot with my putter I can shoot really low rounds, as I did in Panama (64). I had great numbers from the tee…If I have to compare yesterday's round with today's from tee to green were the same, the big difference was the putting."
- 36-hole cut by the numbers:
- 20 different countries featured at least one player to make the cut with the leading countries — Mexico (7); Chile (6); Argentina and Brazil (4)
- Oldest player – Alvaro Ortiz of Costa Rica, who is 50
- Youngest players – Juan Camilo Vesga of Colombia and Aaron Jarvis of the Cayman Islands are 16
- All four players in the WAGR top 100 advanced:
- Luis Fernando Barco, Peru (24)
- Luis Gagne, Costa Rica (37)
- Gabriel Morgan Birke, Chile (81)
- Julian Perico, Peru (87)
- Three players from the Dominican Republic advanced: JJ Guerra (+1, T-23), Juan Cayro Delgado (-7, first) and Enrique Valverde (-3, T-6).
- With his second-round 4-under 68, 17-year-old Juan Cayro Delgado of the Dominican Republic passed Alvaro Ortiz of Mexico to become the leader when posted a 36-hole score of 137, one stroke off the tournament record of 136, which is held by Andre Tourinho of Brazil in 2015. It marks the first time a Dominican player has held the lead after a round in 18 rounds of the LAAC.
- In his first LAAC, Delgado led the scoring for the home nation team of nine players and set the Dominican record (68) for lowest individual score in five LAACs.
- Mexico's two-time runner-up Alvaro Ortiz, who held the first-round lead, posted a solid even-par 72 to share second-place with Luis Fernando Barco of Peru, who holds the highest place (#24) of the 108 players in the field in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Barco, who finished T3 in 2016 at Casa de Campo, followed his first-round 69 with another 69.
- Toto Gana of Chile, the 2017 champion, posted a 2-under-par 70 for the best score of the three champions in the field. Paul Chaplet of Costa Rica, the winner in 2016 at Casa de Campo, followed a first-round 76 with an even-par 72 to make the cut but 2015 champion Matias Dominguez missed it after a second-round 84 resulted in a 36-hole score of 158.
- Julian Perico of Peru shot the lowest round of the championship thus far, a 7-under 65 that included eight birdies and a bogey, just one away from his lowest score in the LAAC, a 64 in the first round in 2017. The 65 ties the second-lowest second-round score in LAAC history, only one stroke away from Joaquin Niemann's 64 last year. It is also tied for the third-lowest round in LAAC history, just two strokes off the record-low of 63 shot by 2018 champion Niemann in the final round. The 65 was a 12-stroke improvement from his first-round 77 and his eight birdies are one away from the tournament record of nine in one round held by a pair of Argentines: Joaquin Bonjour in the second round in 2015 and Alejandro Tosti in the second round in 2016.
- Perico was 5-under-par 31 through nine holes in Round 2, which ties for the lowest first nine in LAAC history. The record is shared by Joaquin Bonjour of Argentina (third round in 2015) and Miguel Ordonez of Panama (first round in 2017). Perico also holds the tournament record for lowest nine holes – 29 on his second nine in the first round in 2017.
- In a valiant effort to make the cut, Walker Campbell of Bermuda followed his first-round 84 with a 4-under-par 68 for a 16-stroke difference, which is the tournament record for largest turnaround, bettering the 14-stroke improvement (92-78) of Henry Kattan of Honduras in 2018.
- Luis Gagne of Costa Rica, the co-low amateur at the 2018 U.S. Open, is playing in his first LAAC and safely made the cut with scores of 72-70. He was the runner-up in last week's South American Amateur. He is ranked #37 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
- Also in his first LAAC,17-year-old Andrey Borges Xavier of Brazil shot a 6-under-par 66 to move into a tie for fourth-place on the leaderboard.
- Through 36 holes, the most birdies have been logged by Ivan Camilo Ramirez of Colombia (12) and the most eagles were recorded by Borges Xavier of Brazil (two).
- All five players from Lynn University (past, present and future) made the cut.
- Three players made the cut for the first time:
- Enrique Valverde of the Dominican Republic (first time in three appearances)
- Esteban Missura of Ecuador (first time in five appearances. He turns 20 on Sunday)
- Eduardo Carrete of Mexico (first time in two appearances)
- In calmer conditions for most of the day resulted in 27 sub-par rounds in Round 2 compared to 12 in Round 1 and surpassed the mark for the second round (17 in 2018) and any round (22 in the first round in 2015).

"It pains me whenever I think of how Wally's life ended. Regardless of the wrongs we commit in life, no one deserves that. No one deserves to be killed in cold blood."
The friend of a man stabbed to death in 2017 made a public appeal this week, seeking information that could help police close the case.
Walter Rogers, known as Wally to those close to him, came to his wife's aid around 2 a.m. on July 8, 2017, when a confrontation with an unknown person took place outside their home.
Rogers was stabbed and taken to hospital but didn't survive his injuries. Police later identified Rogers as having been involved with the drug trade.
Investigators later determined the attackers left the scene driving Rogers' green Dodge Caravan and a silver sedan, before later abandoning the van. Police have also identified two people of interest who may have information about the attackers and hope those two individuals will come forward to speak with police.
One is a white man with a slim build wearing a dark ball cap with a white logo and a black shirt with white graphics with a left-arm sling. The second is also a white man but with a medium build, who is bald and was wearing a striped collared T-shirt, black shorts and dark sandals at the time.
Colin McDougall is a friend of Rogers and spoke at a news conference Thursday to seek the public's help.
"I'm not going to stand up here and tell you that Wally was an angel," said McDougall during the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team news conference. "The police were aware of him and those of us in the local community know that he made mistakes.
"But those of us who knew Wally the best, he was a really good friend and the type that would give you the shirt off his back."
McDougall said Rogers was over age 60 and was in no way threatening when he was stabbed to death. Rogers was in a condition such that he "could barely walk," his friend said.
"It pains me whenever I think of how Wally's life ended. Regardless of the wrongs we commit in life, no one deserves that. No one deserves to be killed in cold blood."
McDougall pleaded for anyone with information about the suspects or the homicide to contact investigators.
"Wally deserves justice and if you know something that can help, do the right thing and talk to these guys at IHIT. I wish I had the information but I don't. But someone out there does. Please do the right thing."

SOUTH Western Railway has accused the RMT of 'ensuring maximum misery' by calling a fresh 24-hour strike on 22 December. The operator also rebuked the union for 'scaremongering' over railway crime figures.
The union has claimed that SWR has 'refused to make any progress' in the continuing dispute over on-train staffing.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: 'The company are hell bent on opening up a loophole that would allow them to run services driver only at their discretion.
'Recent figures have shown a shocking surge in violence on our railways across the festive season and it is frankly appalling that South Western Railway are looking for a green light to throw the guard off their trains as and when they see fit in the name of profit.'
SWR responded: 'By targeting the last Saturday before Christmas when people are trying to travel to be with family and friends the RMT is ensuring the maximum misery is inflicted at what should be a time of relaxation and enjoyment.
'This action is totally unnecessary. We have guaranteed to roster a guard on every train, and we need more, not fewer guards – 70 more by May 2019 – and we have an opportunity with the introduction of the new suburban trains to operate these trains differently to maximise the customer benefits.
'The RMT is scaremongering by using crime in its statement. The number of crimes on the SWR network has reduced by nearly 6 per cent since April. SWR's team of 35 Rail Community Officers work on trains and at stations to prevent and detect crimes. They work closely with BTP officers to help reduce incidents on the network, engaging with customers and highlighting suspicious activity.
'Should this action go ahead, we will do everything we can to provide the best service possible.'
Meanwhile another strike has started on Northern, as the latest in a series of Saturday walkouts by the RMT.
A fresh bid to end the Northern dispute failed last week, when the RMT offered to cancel the outstanding strikes so long as Northern agreed to conditions set out by the union. The hopes of peace had also risen when both the Department for Transport and Transport for the North said they supported the presence of a second staff member on Northern trains.
Recent failures to resolve both disputes have often been caused by disagreements over when, if at all, it would be acceptable to run a train with only a driver.

How to Cleanse. Ground and Protect
I find so many people now days are "sensitives" and unaware that they are susceptible to the bombardment of energies and the affects that has on them. A simple routine of Cleansing, Grounding and Protecting can make the world of difference.
How do you know if you are a sensitive and may be being affected as I mentioned.? Well, do you ever get the feeling when you walk into a room of people that they were just talking about you, and possibly not in a positive way and later find out that that was true. Or that a friend is in need or about to call you and they do. Or even a horrible nagging feeling that something bad is about to happen but you don't know what, and then something really does happen, like a sudden bereavement. Or maybe you dream about events that happen quite soon after your dream. Another symptom can be, felling like you are away with the fairies a lot. Finding it hard to concentrate and you are quite happy to just sit or lie there day dreaming, about all manor of things. You are actually sitting in your power, but naturally right now, you have no idea what I mean by this. Read on, all will be explained.
The physical affects of being sensitive can be headaches, upset stomach, nervousness, seeing something out of the corner of your eye that is not there when you turn your head to look. A feeling that you don't fit in with others. a square peg in a round hole kind of thing. I believe that many addicts are actually sensitives who don't know whats going on with them and try to numb the feelings that they don't understand. A common one is you felt fine when you woke up, for no apparent reason you now feel really down. You have not realised that the person in your office doesn't have a good energy and you are absorbing their negativity from them.
So, how do we combat this problem. Well first we cleanse, clearing away the negative energy that you now have in your auric field is a great start to feeling better. Then we ground, by bringing ourselves back to earth and grounding instead of being away with the fairies, is vital to our normal function in the physical plane. The we protect.
All this work is done with visualisation. If you are new to this then be patient, it gets easier with practice. Meditation on a regular basis helps to train the mind so that all visualisation becomes easier.
Sit quietly and allow all the tension in your body to drift away. You can go thorough your body starting at the top and focus on each part and release any tension. I.E Face, jaw, eyes, neck shoulders arms, fingers, chest and so on all through your body.
See yourself being showered by white light and any dark or negative energy being washed off you. Just like when you have a shower, this is a psychic shower and works wonders at any time of the day or night.
Now, see roots growing out of the bottom of your feet and down into the ground below. See these roots going all the way to the center of the earth and then wrap them around an anchor. Feel yourself being pulled firmly to the earth.
Now put yourself within a dome of white light (light an egg shell) and then place another layer of gold over that and you're done.
You may like to learn how to open and close your Chakras and sit in your power as an extension of the above exercise.

I made a concoction once
of lemon juice & milk & salt.
Drank it down in attempt to lose my timidity.
The ingrediants had no reasoning
no known innate powers.
Their mixture was unthought-out,
It was a silly plan of escape,
a silly hope,
a silly liquid potion to dissolve the thick shell around me.
I tried to speak louder the next day,
tried deliberating my movements a little less
tried to end the muteness I was known for.
It seemed that lemon juice & milk & salt
made no difference.
But strangely enough they did.
One day,
just six years later,
the potion kicked in.

Last night I had a great #pairwithme session with @_zph. He's been doing Ruby on nights and weekends for the last few years and he's been using VIM much longer than I have. I learned a lot of little tricks about VIM that I just hadn't quite worked out before. We also refactored some of his Buff Gem.
- Zander had a VPS already provisioned with my ssh keys installed. Super Easy setup.
- TMUX + VIM for our editors
- RSpec for testing the Gem
We started off trying to think of what to pair on within Zander's gem. He was concerned about the tests, so we actually spent a fair amount of time just looking at the WebMocked tests and discussing the pros and cons. Eventually we decided that WebMock might be a good way to start off your TDD of an API wrapper since you have complete control of the response, but VCR gives you the best long term support since you can both get fast tests and confirm that you're still working with the API correctly and that you didn't just magically stub out the wrong thing–just delete your cassette and you've got "free" real API tests, followed by nice fast tests.
Just having this discussion was valuable. We didn't change any code since Zander felt it would mostly be tedious and he wanted to do it himself. I can't decide if that's a great use of pair time or a 'wrong' feeling that some things aren't worth pairing on. Either way, our time talking about pros and cons of testing styles was one of my favorite moments.
We eventually refactored his url encoding to isolate a few things and make some of the methods query methods rather than query-command mixes. I introduced him to
Enumerator#with_index as well. In the process of doing this I saw how proficient Zander was at VIM. He showed me the vim-surround plugin, the vim-numbertoggle plugin, and the vim-ruby-refactoring plugin. I hadn't really seen any of them in action. I think the refactoring plugin needs to have a bit more to it, but relative numbers really seemed like a great idea. I also learned little things like
Shift-j to join the next line to this one and
viw to select a whole word. I'd always selected whole lines and yanked whole lines. Learn something new every day.
- Discussion is one of the most valuable things about any pairing session. Bouncing ideas off is where you change the way you actually think.
- Learning tools from other people is just as valuable as improving code.
- Things I take for granted are easy to forget to point out. I knew about
with_indexand thought nothing of it. He didn't know you could chain that off of any enumerator. Ah… the value af other people's brains.
All in all, a great session. Looking forward to the next one with @_zph.
On to the next pairing session…

Who's afraid of Samuel Fuller?
I was, George. I was.
A decade or so ago, when I first became fully aware of Fuller, as more than just a name, it was as a result of discovering a clutch of paperbacks bearing his byline in a second-hand book shop: His early newspaper mystery The Dark Page, the caper-thrillers Crown of India, Quint's World and Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street, and the novel based on his war-time experiences, and the screenplay he fashioned from them, the extraordinary fictionalized memoir The Big Red One. I found Fuller's voice unique — tough, witty, sardonic, yet curiously and endearingly matter of fact about some of the harsher realities of life lived in violence, whether private (crime) or public (war). I should have been well and truly primed, by the time I finished these compulsively readable novels, for Fuller the writer/director.
Should have been, but wasn't. For the simple reason that, aside from a few studio items like the 1953 Pickup on South Street, I had come to understand that Fuller's aims nearly always exceeded his budgets. I was, somehow, afraid of Fuller's movies. Not of their content, although his work tends either to be derided as vulgar trash by the John Simons of the movie world on one side, or venerated as inviolate masterpieces by the Quentin Tarantinos on the other — both of whose voices are equally suspect and neither of whose opinions matter to me, at least in this area. (Simon is occasionally useful; none of Tarantino's opinions ever matter.) That the words "blunt" and "crude" recur, time and again, in appreciations of Fuller by his admirers didn't encourage me either.
My fear of Fuller was similar to my approach/avoidance of Orson Welles' independent work. Only three times in his history as a writer/director was Welles given anything like an "A" budget, and in only one of these cases was the final product presented whole, without mutilating cuts by the studio. Welles, like Fuller, had grand designs he was almost never given the fiscal freedom to realize. That said, what he did with those tiny budgets and their concomitant paucity of technical assistance was often stunningly effective, and occasionally (as in Mr. Arkadin — especially in Criterion's "comprehensive" edition — Falstaff/Chimes at Midnight and F for Fake) well beyond that.
Still, with Fuller as with Welles, I despaired to see those grand visions diminished by poverty-row funding, although my veneration for Welles should have taught me that, for the truly inspired, cutting corners does not mean an ipso facto diminution of pacing, dialogue, narrative drive, storytelling arc or even effective, and affecting, use of the medium. So it is with The Big Red One.
I no longer remember how, or why, I missed the release of this one back in 1980, as my moviegoing habit was in full cry then (as opposed to now, when I avoid new movies out of a very different sort of fear — that of being disappointed yet again.) Over the years since I began to gather that the original Lorimar release was far from what Fuller had in mind, which only caused my discomfort with seeing it to double, or even treble. Since to my knowledge it never played the Raleigh/Durham area, I purchased the 2004 "reconstruction" on DVD (spurred by those novels of his, and Adam Simon's 1996 Fuller tribute The Typewriter, the Rifle and the Camera) some time ago, along with, at various times, his posthumously published memoir A Third Face, the Criterion Pickup on South Street and the cheap-o Troma release of Fuller's Shark! (1969.) And, again, it was that fear of diminished returns, not of content, that kept me from watching any of them.
Last weekend, I made up for lost time. And am now, unofficially and based on a very limited sampling, a veritable Sam Fuller fanatic.
The financial constraints that are evident in The Big Red One, I was relieved to discover, in no way slacken the movie's emotional impact. Yes, Fuller's D-Day sequence is under-populated, and nowhere near as wrenchingly (and, one presumes, verifiably) gory as Steven Spielberg's. But stack that against the central incident on Fuller's Omaha Beach as the young cartoonist Griff (Mark Hamill) freezes in mid-duty, brought out of his shock by the calculatedly close shots fired in his direction by his Sergeant (Lee Marvin.) The moment goes on, in seemingly nose-thumbing contradiction to what, even in the late 1970s was becoming a rage for fast cutting, as Fuller holds on Hamill's reaction. You will seldom, I think, ever see a purer example of sheer, murderous rage in a mere movie than the lingering glare Hamill gives Marvin just before he resumes his duty. And all of this without a single word of dialogue. That's called craft. And it says (as Fuller might have, cigar clamped firmly between his teeth) The hell with words! What is the emotional truth here? Show, fer crissake, don't tell!
The emotional truth Fuller gets at in The Big Red One, with surprising subtlety and eloquence for a filmmaker reputed for a characteristic bluntness (another false flag that added to my avoidance) is survival. And once you've seen it, you understand why the saga obsessed him for so many years.
The movie is a guided tour though Fuller's own World War II experience, conducted by four disparate and somewhat unlikely young Privates — all of whom comprise some aspect of the writer-director: Griff (Hamill), Vinci (Bobby Di Cicco), Johnson (Kelly Ward) and Fuller's most obvious, stogie-bearing, alter ego Zab (Robert Carradine), led by Marvin's apparently implacable Sergeant. From their landing in North Africa in November 1942 to the liberation of the Flossenbürg concentration camp at Falkenau in the spring of 1945 and encompassing as well campaigns in Sicily, the D-Day landing at Omaha, the Bulge, the liberation of France, the invasion of Germany, V-E Day and the dispatch of a seemingly endless line of youthful replacements, this ragged quintet — the boys are known, with some awe, as the Sergeant's Four Horsemen — sees, and survives, the majority of the major European battle sites of the War. It is, I suppose, stretching credulity to admit the deaths of none of them, but that too is part of Fuller's mantra, stated in voice-over at the end by Zab: "Surviving is the only glory in war."
The "reconstruction" (overseen by perhaps my least favorite movie critic, Richard Shickel) restores the picture and adds roughly 45 minutes chopped by Lorimar in 1980. (An additional quarter-hour of so of sequences included as extras on the DVD proved intractable.) As with the recent revamp of Welles' Touch of Evil, no one can know whether Fuller would have wholly approved the new edit (at nearly 450 pages, Fuller's novel, taken from his original screenplay, contains even more incident) but it surely could not have hurt him as badly as the release of that truncated original.
I'm always a little chary of calling a movie I've just seen for the first time "great" — real greatness in movie art, it seems to me, does not reveal itself in full after a single viewing, any more than a concert work of blazing originality and compositional complexity yields all its secrets at first hearing — yet I suspect The Big Red One of a sneaking greatness. It's there in the perfectly delineated characters; in the strong, clean visuals; in the ripe, pithy, Fulleresque dialogue; and in the refusal to sentimentalize, even in the face of the insupportable. Fuller does not dwell on the horrors of Falkenau (which he saw firsthand) but on the effect of the unspeakable on his Four Horsemen. And it's a pivotal moment for Griff, whose conscience cannot admit of the first essential of warfare: The need to kill. It isn't, as some of the more moronic Imdb commentators have suggested, merely that Fuller dwells on the irony of the group's pacifist firing endlessly on the German soldier he finds hiding in the ovens. Griff has been pushed to the limits of his endurance; after what he's seen, and been through — including, especially, Falkenau itself — one bullet for the executioner of so many others is not enough. Griff must go on killing the German, inflicting on that single available body the rough justice demanded of every participant when the obscenity is so far beyond calculation. Even the Sergeant, who understands, is taken aback by the cold fury of Griff's methodical retribution.
Lee Marvin was one of the most interesting actors of his time — and the easiest to underrate. Perhaps that's why his splendid Hickey in the American Film Theatre's four-hour The Iceman Cometh (1973) was universally panned; when you don't push Hickey's jovial but ultimately false bonhomie, it's easier to feel you're betraying the character. But if Hickey is the roaring success as a salesman everyone says he is, there's got to be something held back. If everything is out there, all noise and surface and grinning laughter, what have you got left to sell? I wonder if it was Marvin's then-status as a certifiable movie star that occasioned the dismissal of his performance. (Robert Ryan and Frederic March, who — deservingly — garnered the best reviews, had also been stars, although much earlier.)
Marvin's performance here is a carefully observed as the most acclaimed of its year, DeNiro's in Raging Bull, and a great deal easier both to appreciate, and to like. His Sergeant may evoke death — and that pale, weary, stoic face is exactly what Fuller wanted for the effect — but he's no automaton. There's wisdom in him, a wit so dryly understated it's sometimes impossible to laugh at, and reserves of compassion that belie his sandpaper exterior.
These qualities in Marvin's rich performance are nowhere better evidenced than in the long, nearly wordless sequence at Falkenau between the Sergeant and the emaciated boy he liberates, exquisitely rendered by Fuller and played with unerring perfection by Marvin. (The unnamed child is extraordinary too, although naturally nowhere near as skeletal as such children actually were.)
A day after watching The Big Red One, I slipped my poor copy of the idiotically titled Shark! (Fuller had intended to call the movie Caine, after the name of his lead) into the DVD player. Even here, filming on a miniscule budget and at the mercy of both the elements and what is pretty obviously inferior camerawork, the Fuller touch with character, plot and dialogue come radiantly through.
A man who could do that is no one to be afraid of.

Remember last year's It's a Book? The ever-clever Lane Smith's send-up of our obsession with technology features a frustrated monkey trying to make a donkey understand that no, you don't need a password, and no, you don't need to scroll down, because it's a book, jackass. It's more overt in its back-to-basics message than, say, Press Here, and it's funny. Every adult I've talked to thinks so. I've never actually seen a child's response to it, and indeed, our store displayed it much more prominently in adult-land than in the kids' section. I don't think that's just because of the "jackass" punchline, either. Two- and three-year-olds today have varying awareness of computers, but the concept that passwords and scroll bars are obliterating a simpler time is a pretty adult one.
Well, this week, the board book version arrived, complete with diapered baby animals. It's a Little Book replaces the donkey's technobabble with questions like, "Is it for wearing?" and "Is it for chewing?" I doubt this one will get as much notice from adult readers, but I think it succeeds better as a children's book. It's easy to imagine toddlers answering each question with a giggling "noooooooo." In this case, they're in on the joke.
The ending? "It's a book, silly."

A family's plan to build a home in a former air raid shelter on the Northumberland coastline has been thrown out a second time.
Sukie and Richard Ranken, from Gosforth, applied to create an earth shelter home for themselves and their two children in the former Second World War hideout on the coast at Beadnell last year.
Their plans yielded objections from 75 residents, the village's parish council, the National Trust and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership, with the site lying within the AONB and designated Heritage Coast.
The application was turned down by county councillors but an appeal was lodged, triggering a recent hearing.
A Government planning inspector has now dismissed the challenge, a move which has been welcomed by residents.
The site on Harbour Road had been owned by Mrs Ranken's family since before the war.
During the war an air raid shelter was built on the land, which the family used when there were air strikes.
The shelter was partially dismantled after the war and the site became overgrown.
Mrs Ranken's father got permission to develop the plot in the 1960s but did not act on it. Around nine years ago, the land passed to Mr and Mrs Ranken.
After being told they would not be allowed to build a traditional house on the plot due to its sensitive location, the couple decided to seek planning permission for the underground shelter.
The development proposed a three-bedroomed, partially earth sheltered unit.
Part of the property would be set into the re-profiled slope of the ground, with a continuation of the grassed landform continuing over the roof of the building.
Mrs Ranken said the development would be no higher than the present site and that it would barely be visible.
The family said they would use the property as a holiday home initially but would be planning to live there permanently on Mr Ranken's retirement.
Officers recommended refusal and a planning committee voted in line with their advice last June.
But the Rankens appealed, triggering a hearing in front of a planning inspector. Following the hearing, the inspector has now dismissed the challenge.
The decision was welcomed by Jim Norris, of the Save Beadnell Association. He said: "This is another decision which cements the security of our Heritage coastline and protects our AONB for the benefit of current and future generations to enjoy in its natural state."
Mrs Ranken declined to comment.
