Ryan Gosling works a lot of late nights in Thailand shooting Only God Forgives. So while he spends the day sleeping, his girlfriend Eva Mendes, who's been in Thailand with him since the end of January, hits up Starbucks for refreshments.
Here she is on a coffee run. And then later she had a bouquet of flowers as they went out for dinner. Cute detail: Eva has been to set to see Ryan a few times. And every time she brings him flowers. My sources tell me that word among the crew is that she stayed so long in Thailand, through the duration of the shoot, without leaving, because she didn't want Ryan getting distracted by costar Yayaying.

Last month, my nutritionist of awesomeness, Cheryl Harris (of Harris Whole Health and Gluten Free Goodness), emailed a handful of gluten free bloggers on Black Friday with the following challenge:
Cheryl started the event with a post on Thursday December 1st. Cheryl focused specifically on getting more movement during the month of December.
Next, Iris Higgins, author of the gluten free food blog The Daily Dietribe shared a post on Thursday December 8th. Her goals revolved around getting adequate exercise everyday and making the time to mediate.
For our 3rd post today (December 15th) Valerie, author of City Life Eats, shared her goals for this very busy month. Valerie centered her post today on goals such as spending less time blogging, more time exercising, and taking restorative yoga classes.
I will be sharing my thoughts for the December Sanity Challenge next Thursday, December 22nd.
My goals will focus on self-care, journaling, prayer, and continuing to follow the Paleo food plan.
"You can participate in this December Sanity challenge too. Write a post on what your goals are for this month and link back to this post (Valerie's December Sanity Challenge post) or any of the other participant's posts. Leave a comment with your link.

Innovative Drink Trends Update Your Cocktail Menu and Profits at Your Bar
The inviolate truth about drink making is that the fresher the ingredients, the more vibrant and enjoyable the cocktail. In a time when success is often determined one drink at a time, mixologists and bar chefs are increasingly reaching for the bar muddler when looking to elevate their cocktails to fresh, new heights. Invariably, the move pays off.
Essentially, muddling does for a cocktail what high definition does for television. In both instances the result is crisper, more brilliant and ultimately yields a more pleasurable experience. The drinks prepared with freshly-muddled ingredients are a cut above the rest, typically possessing supple, satiny textured bodies, generous bouquets and palates imbued with enticing, tree-ripened flavors.
Equally beneficial is that the technique effectively expands what products can be incorporated into drink making, a nearly endless selection of ingredients ranging from ginger, cucumbers and peppers, to basil, mint and every type of fresh fruit imaginable. Factor in how it enhances production value and you'll begin to appreciate why muddling is a significant beverage trend.
While seemingly no more involved than smashing the daylights out of defenseless fruit, muddling does require a modicum of technique. For example, when muddling citrus, there are some drinks in which it would be best to only lightly muddle the fruit so as not to release too much of the pith's bitterness. Other drinks — especially those calling for added sugar — can better tolerate the bitter component so enthusiastic muddling is encouraged.
For best results, outfit your bar with two different styles of muddlers. The first is the standard, 7- to 9-inch wooden pestle with a diameter of roughly 3/4 inch, which is suitable for light duty. The other type of muddler beneficial behind the bar originated in South America. It is considerably longer, wider and heftier, this to better pulverize a gaggle of lime wedges for such drinks as the Caipirinha and Caipiroshka.
Maximizing the Muddled Difference
The Mojito is likely the first drink most bartenders encounter that requires muddling, a process essential to recreating the cocktail's true character and depth of flavor. The flat of the muddler is used to gently compress the mint leaves to release their flavor-laden essential oils. The lime wedges are lightly crushed to express the fresh juice while not bruising the bitter white pith. Both ingredients permeate every facet of the cocktail.
Drinks such as the Old-Fashioned, Caipirinha and Mojito are traditionally prepared directly in the glass in which they're presented. The muddled mélange enhances their appearance and is seen as a sign of uncompromising quality.
For some time these tall, venerable drinks demarked the extent of a muddler's professional range. The prevailing rationale being that swirling pulp have no place in cocktails, which is a style of drink invariably served clear, refined and free of muddled debris.
Fortunately for society, a new generation of top-notch bartenders rendered the status quo passé by outfitting their bars with handled tea strainers. At once the creative floodgates were thrown open. Mixologists and bar chefs soon began crafting cocktails by muddling fresh products directly in shakers rather than the traditional service glass. Then, after vigorously shaking the contents — ice, muddled fruit and all — the bartender pours the frothing cocktail through the fine mesh strainer en route to the chilled glass waiting below. Nary a trace of flotsam makes its way to the finished cocktail.
Muddling in all of its glory is altering the contemporary landscape. For example, the Heirloom Tomato Mojito is a specialty at Nacional 27 in Chicago, created by sommelier and master mixologist chef Adam Seger. His variation of the Mojito is prepared with muddled lime wedges, heirloom and green tomato wedges, basil leaves, kosher salt and fresh black pepper. He then adds a jigger of Gran Centenario Plata, a near fill with tonic and a splash of balsamic vinegar. The cocktail is vital, engaging and brimming with sun-drenched flavors.
"Muddled cocktails are ideal for seasonal cocktail menus and sustainable agriculture," states cocktail guru Jim Meehan. "In New York City, we get great local produce from June to September, and it would be a waste not to use as much as possible to make drinks. The herbaceous flavors of gin and tequila work really well with fresh vegetables, such as cucumber, green pepper and even celery. Herbs such as mint, basil, tarragon and lemon verbena add complexity to a drink depending on which spirit and fresh fruits are in the mix."
Two Meehan creations prove his point: The Garden City is prepared by muddling in a mixing glass a small handful of fresh tarragon with lemon juice and simple syrup, after which he adds ice, a jigger of Plymouth Gin and Gilka Kümmel. The drink is shaken and double strained into a chilled coupe glass. The caraway-flavored kümmel and fresh tarragon marry beautifully with the herbal and citrus-infused Plymouth Gin, rendering the cocktail fragrant and delicious.
The El Jimador's Harvest is constructed by muddling together Thai basil leaves, two cucumber slices and a half shot of St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. Afterwards, Meehan adds Jose Cuervo Platino Tequila and ruby red grapefruit juice, shakes the drink with ice and then double strains the drink into a coupe glass. The constituent ingredients meld seamlessly into a delightfully spry cocktail.
The Sangre de Fresa is a contemporary classic at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar, a San Francisco eatery imbued with the atmosphere, conviviality and flavor of Provence. The drink features muddled basil, strawberries and balsamic simple syrup, a jigger of Ypióca Cachaça and lime juice. The ingredients are shaken with ice and poured directly into a chilled pilsner glass. It's finished with a dose of club soda, fresh strawberry and a sprig of basil.
Muddling is just another example of an overnight sensation over a century in the making. NCB

NEW YORK -- An NYPD detective has been suspended without pay after a kidnapping victim was found tied up in his Queens garage, sources tell NBC 4 New York.
Sources say Ondre Johnson, a 17-year veteran of the Brooklyn North gang unit, was being questioned by internal affairs about his involvement in the kidnapping of a 25-year-old victim off the street early Friday morning.
Sources say a demand for a $75,000 ransom was made.
See the original report | More from NBCNewYork.com
Police tracked the victim to the house in St. Albans off the victim's cell phone pings.
When police arrived Friday night, they found the victim tied up in the garage.
Johnson denied any involvement with the kidnapping, but his cousin, Hakeem Clark -- who lives in the other half of the detective's two-family home -- has been charged with kidnapping, along with three other men.

Not true. Only one name can be correct according to the current rules. Principle IV of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) specifically states: "Each taxonomic group with a particular circumscription, position, and rank can bear only one correct name, the earliest that is in accordance with the Rules, except in specified cases." http://www.bgbm.fu-berlin.de/iapt/nomenclature/code/tokyo-e/Contents.htm The old Jussieu plant names were allowed (tolerated) for many years to placate the old guard botanists who insisted upon using them. It was politics not botany that allowed their continued use. Now that those individual have all long since passed away, the Jussieu names are to be rejected in favor of plant family names in proper form. Before you cite articles 18.5 and 18.6 in rebuttal, I would say that even though the Jussieu names are validly published, they are in improper form and should be rejected for that reason. Look in Appendix IIB of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) for the list of conserved (accepted) plant family names. You will find that the family name Asteraceae is conserved over the obsolete Compositae. http://www.bgbm.fu-berlin.de/iapt/nomenclature/code/tokyo-e/App2bE.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan Ness <bness at puc.edu> To: Cereoid* <cereoid at prodigy.net>; <plant-ed at email@example.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 7:46 PM Subject: Re: Compositae vs. Asteraceae ?? > As a plant taxonomist I thought I better chime in on this one.

THERE was screaming. There was fainting. It doesn't happen every day: a car washer in Brazil walked into his own wake, where his distraught family was already weeping over their loss.
"People were so startled. Women were fainting, people started running all over the place," said Maria Menezes, one of the mourners at the event in Alagoinhas, in Salvador de Bahia state, G1 news reported.
Gilberto Araujo, 41, heard from a friend on the street that his family thought he was dead and was busy getting ready to bury him so he decided to head straight to the wake and clear things up.
"A friend of mine told me there was a coffin at the wake - and that I was inside it," Araujo said. "I told him: 'But I am alive! Pinch me!"
In fact, Araujo's family had been burying a corpse that looked startlingly like their loved one, a body that had yet to be formally identified, G1 reported.
"I am just beside myself with joy," a beaming Marina Santana told the network. "What mother who is told her son is dead is not going to be overjoyed when she sees her son alive again?"

NEW ORLEANS (AP) The New Orleans Saints' last-ranked defense has allowed more yards in a season than any defense in NFL history.
The Saints have allowed 287 yards in the first half of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, surpassing by 6 yards the mark of 6,793 yards allowed by the 1981 Baltimore Colts.
The mark has been set in the final game of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's first season with the club. Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt, who also coaches linebackers, was a third-year assistant with the '81 Colts.
Struggling to stop big plays all season, the Saints allowed DeAngelo Williams to break loose for a 65-yard run in the second quarter, which set up Mike Tolbert's touchdown.

Underneath the pleasant exterior of a house in Georgetown hums an alternate universe. Tiny trains travel over trestles and along heavily forested mountainsides traversing 140 feet of double track laid by Georgetown resident Ric Keller over the past 22 years. Keller also sculpted and constructed the mountains themselves, and their impressive trestles.
Underneath the pleasant exterior of a house in Georgetown hums an alternate universe. Tiny trains travel over trestles and along heavily forested mountainsides traversing 140 feet of double track laid by Georgetown resident Ric Keller over the past 22 years. Keller also sculpted and constructed the mountains themselves, and their impressive trestles.
Sometimes, in photos of this complex setup, it is hard to recognize this as a universe in miniature rather than a real railroad. Traveling between two cities, a logging camp, a harbor and several villages in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the little trains hum pleasantly along the tracks as switches and lights control the action. A tiny video camera mounted on one of the engines broadcasts live footage in the hallway as its host train makes its rounds.
Set during the transition from steam to diesel engines, Keller's tiny train universe has two large engine yards with both steam and diesel engines clustered together. Logging trains and milk trains make their rounds on their convincing setups.
A tiny carousel circles to its own music at a carnival, and in one city, a man discovers he forgot to put the top up on his convertible before it went through the car wash. A large crowd of impossibly tiny union workers are irritated as they wait for a train to pass so they can reach their cars in the parking lot after a long day at work.
A building is on fire in one of the cities, and a car has caught fire on the highway. Hey — why isn't the ski lift running? Is that lazy Hans lying down again on his ski tow operator job?
"Hans!" Keller calls out in German. "Hans, machen sie eine probe fart [test run]," and the cars magically start climbing up the mountain, suspended on their wires.
Children entertained by Keller's wording, and mystified by the way Hans gets his act together when ordered to, never see the tiny remote control in Keller's pocket.
AUDIO SLIDESHOW: Tour de Chooch with Ric Keller
The heavily forested hillsides were the brainchild of Keller's late wife Judy, who worked with him for years on the train setup, growing and drying the herbs that would create these vast miniature forests. The little trees are utterly convincing, and have worked out well except for the occasional clear-cut logging disaster when the family cats have a blast decimating entire hillsides of little catnip (pine) trees. Beautiful sweeping murals by Ron Paris add depth and color to the setup.2008 Tour de Chooch
The humor and imagination of Ric Keller will once again be on display Sunday in this year's free annual Tour de Chooch at his 19 Lakeridge Drive home in Georgetown. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. it's open house for the public to enjoy the result of Keller's years of work and collecting.
"Model railroaders never say their work is finished, but this work is pretty nearly finished," says Keller. "I suppose I could keep tweaking certain parts of the setup."
Retired after 40 years as a labor relations and compensation consultant for General Electric, Keller once played rock and roll piano for Johnny and the Spinners, and stand-up bass for The Master Sounds. He now plays stand-up bass for The Strummers. His friend and neighbor Dick Boucher is The Strummers' rhythm guitar player. Boucher will be dressed in complete engineer garb for the open house. Dick and Bea Boucher, along with Keller's daughter Alyson, are hosting the Nov. 30 event, which also features hot cider and cheese and crackers.
Keller says the custom-designed decal business he ran with his wife no longer has an online Web site, but he still makes himself available to longtime customers for special orders. The Personal Touch provided customized miniature graphics and decals to modelers and miniaturists over the years, and Keller is open to filling the need for that special decal or graphic.
"I'll be glad to help anyone who needs a one-of-a-kind graphic for a special project," says Keller. "My number is in the phone book."
Words can describe Keller's amazing train setup, and photographs can record it, but you really have to see it in person to appreciate its sheer size, complexity and artistry. He has even created his own cat face sculpture on one mountainside — Old Cat of the Mountain?
"When I look at it, I'm afraid it looks more like Mickey Mouse," laughs Keller.
Many of the names in Keller's universe of mountains and trains are in honor of various family and friends. There is Bud's View, the main control station named in memory of a family cat, and Jake's Gulch, named after another departed feline.
Sammy's Toys & Games store is named after Keller's youngest grandson, the town of Hannah is named after his granddaughter, and Eli the engine is named for Keller's oldest grandson.
Keller has another major event scheduled for next summer. He has been asked to be the only open house stop for the National Model Railroad Association's national convention in Hartford, Conn. in July.
If you go…
The Tour de Chooch will stop at the home of Ric Keller, 19 Lakeridge Drive, Georgetown, on Sunday, Nov. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The free model railroad open house also features hot cider and cheese and crackers. Fifteen other setups will be on tour on Nov. 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For the complete schedule of stops, visit www.amherstrail.org/trips/ChoochFall08.pdf.

I'll be doing a session entitled, "DIY Video Production for Food Bloggers," and will be joined by the lovely and talented Sara, from Average Betty, and Daniel Klein, chef and traveling food documentarian from The Perennial Plate. By the way, if you think I travel a lot, check this guy out.
I'm pretty excited to be doing a little teaching, as that's the one thing I do miss most about working at a culinary academy. I love the thought that folks may actually leave the session and be so inspired that they start filming and uploading food videos to their own blogs. Then, in a few years, there will be so many high-quality food videos online that their value will plummet, and I'll be out of business. Damn it! I didn't think this through.
On a related matter, here is a recipe by a new video recipe friend of mine, Marie Lévesque (aka PlatypusGuitar) from Montréal, Canada. She's the host of the Insanely Sexy Potato Show, and this is her Easy Salmon Croquette Recipe. Enjoy!

Winter Meetings Day 3
LAS VEGAS — Heading up to bed last night at about 3 a.m., we caught wind that C.C. Sabathia had come close to an agreement to pitch for the Yankees. This morning, it's reportedly a done deal.
So C.C. will be in the East, not great news for the Blue Jays. It'll also be interesting to see what this 7-year, $160ish million deal will mean for A.J. Burnett's pending deal. It could potentially drive up his asking price.
Later this afternoon, we'll be sitting down with Jays manager Cito Gaston to talk shop. It's still mostly quiet on the Toronto front, with no real updates on what's already been reported. So, I'll keep you posted with any updates throughout the day.

GS you do make some very good points but what I think you're assuming is that the core you've mentioned will be exactly the same in 2010 that it is now. You'd have to think that if these guys do perform better in '09 that the value for them will increase and it'll be easier to deal them should they choose to do so. Worst case scenario is that they aren't contending by the '09 deadline and can deal off a few core guys for some prospects/salary relief OR J.P. is fired and the new G.M will at least have a potentially great pitching staff to work with in 2010. Most of the guys had underachieving years by their standards so if you want max. value as you've correctly mentioned a few times wait untill they're showing that they can still be good.
Also, just because they are talking to Pavano doesn't mean they still can't shed some payroll via trading the bigger contracts. If they unload Ryan (for example and sign Pavano for about 2 mill. they still save 8 million. I know he's not the answer though so don't rip me for thinking he's the saviour.
I heard last night the Jays were speaking to the representitives of Matt Clement. Can you confirm or deny that ?
GS – about Furcal, it's true that J.P. does lie often but this time the source was Furcal's representative so I can't see how J.P. is lying about that. Whether or not he'll get the money to sign him is a different story though.
If you have a chance to watch the dark knight blu-ray do so. It's outstanding.
My point on Pavano was simply, I don't expect him to change the ultimate outcome of 2009 nor do I see him as a guy who helps us win in 2010 or 2011-so why sign him?
Furcal has already turned down 4 years and $36 mill. or in Jays terms $46 million over 4 years or about $12 mill per year. He turns 32 next year, so whoever signs him for 4 years has to realize he's going to decline in performance throughout the contract and it's a real heavy contract. The only way I see Jp getting approval to sign him is if he gets rid of at least one of the heavy contracts we're already hung with.
My perfect scenario for short stop would see us do a deal with Milwaukee for Alcides Escobar, and while we at it do a deal for Matt Gamel (3rd base) as well.
Look for JP to pick up Adam Eaton,the Phillys are trying to dump him, and they will pick up 8,m of his 9,m contract for 09 and want nothing in return for him.
A.J. Burnett $13,200,000
Frank Thomas $12,560,000
B.J. Ryan $12,000,000

Sorry didnt know I posted that I meant to post the contract of the jays
I made a speadsheet of the major contract this doesn't include arbitration players past 09.
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Rolen 11M 11
Halladay 14.25 15.75
BJ Ryan 10 10
Wells 1.5 12 23 21 21
Rios 5.9 9.7 12 12 12.5
Overbay 7 7
Downs 3.75 4
Mac 1.8
Scutaro 1.1
Barajas 2.5
Hill 2.59 4 5 8 8
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Totals 61.39M 73.45M 40M 41M 41.5M
Notice our salary goes up in 2010, without signing anybody and losing a cather and shortshop! At least we have a catcher in the farm system who will be ready by then.
Also this doesn't include any arbitration players.
I know a lot of people said we should forget about 09 and look 2010, but we might need to look towards 2011.
Also, we have 40M already tied up in 3 players past 2010.
Note: Hill, Wells, Rios have contracts beyond 2013. Also, Wells gets 8.5M in signing bonuses from 2008-10. Not included in salary.
PS Sorry it looked better in excel.
The pessimism for 09… and it's not even winter yet.
Again, I'll say that you never know how this team is gonna play. Who would've thought last year that the Twins and Sox would've finished ahead of Detroit and Cleveland, and that the Rockies would've tanked the way they did?
Look at a rotation of Halladay, Downs, Litsch, McGowan, Purcey/Cecil/Janssen/FA or trade. Even without Burnett and Marcum, this team has some good arms both in SP and bullpen. I wouldn't put all the hopes on the 2010 season (or beyond). It's hard to predict that far ahead, and I have a feeling Marcum won't be quite the same when he returns.
A lineup similar to below could also score a lot of runs under Cito, if everyone hits like they've done on average in their careers, or better. There are many question marks though. Basically, there are question marks about every single player listed below considering their recent performances. But they've also all historically shown that they have potential…
Rios Of
Hill SS
Lind OF
Wells CF
Snider DH
Overbay 1B
Rolen 3B
Barajas C
Inglett SS
Reverse the series outcomes with Cleveland in 08 (1-7?), and the Jays' would have had 92 wins. With a bunch of good teams beating up on each other in the AL East, 92 wins could be enough.
The Jays signed Matt Clement to a minor league deal today.
Good or bad hard to say,In my opinion it may be a good deal and the cost is minimal.
LAS VEGAS ( from SI.com) — The Yankees are believed to have offered free-agent starter A.J. Burnett a five-year, $80 million deal. The Atlanta Braves are considered the other main contender for Burnett, and they offered him a four-year contract for $60 million with a vesting option for a fifth year. It isn't known yet whether Atlanta will match the Yankees' big bid. The Nationals, Orioles, Blue Jays and Red Sox also have spoken to Burnett's camp at the meetings.
The Yankees also remain very interested in free-agent starter Derek Lowe, having talked to him about a four-year, $60 million deal. Additionally, the Yankees have been reviewing the medical records of Ben Sheets and are interested in him, depending on how the negotiations go with Burnett and Lowe, and are still considering bringing Andy Pettitte back to the Bronx for another season.
gsjays, I heard that the yankees upped their offer to Burnett for $85 million over 5 years. Now if the yankees get Lowe or Sheets, a healthy rotation of Sabathia, Wang, Burnett, Lowe, and Chamberlain sounds pretty intense.
this is rediculous!i can't believe every team but the yankees aren't pushing for a salary cap!!yankees are going too far!!
What is J.P doing! I like the furcal deal but not the pavano or clement. pavano is garbage the guy has play like 26 games in four years. Tell me what u think of these deals. i think they are ridiculous
You can sign the best pitchers in the league if you want,but will they remain healthy all year,They Yankees will be sorry if they dont.Hmmmm.
The Yanks have stated they will be signing a minimum of two of three of Burnett, Lowe and Sheets, and possibly all 3. In addition, they have expressed interest in re-signing Andy Petite-which might or might not be a smoke screen. It could be that they put Chamberlain back in as the set up man instead of starting.
No question, its a strong group of starters ( probably the best in MLB) and they'll have backup depth with Hughes and Kennedy. They also did a good job last year of rebuilding their bull pen, and if Chamberlain goes back as the set up man, their bullpen will be as good or better than ours.
Even after these signings, they still have lots of money to spend and have let it be known they'd like to sign both Tiexeira and Manny. If that happens, along with this pitching staff, I think I'd bet on the Yanks being in the playoffs. lol
The worst deal of all three would be if we signed Furcal. We already have too many expensive contracts with under achievers. It's time to dump them and go with kids-not add another.
GS- I definitly agree with you. I didnt put that to thought. I just saw that they would be getting a short stop who has proved himself in the league as both a hitter and defensivle. Dont get me wrong i love john macdonald and scutaro. Then jays need that leadoff bat furcal brings. Ever since JP start the job and general manfer he has been doing it. Signing guys off a injury year and hope they can get back to what they were before the injury. I would like to see him get a player has proved themselves in the league and have stay healthy most of the time. What about maybe a rebuild? just a thought. He keeps saying if we are healthy we will be good, well the team cant, even though some are just unlucky.

One result of the European Defence Agency's examination in November of the options for member nations to pool and share resources is that several states have shown interest in "cooperating in the testing phase or the pooling of spare parts for the NH90."
According to EDA CEO Claude-France Arnould, this could take the shape of "bilateral, trilateral or regional cooperation" rather than applying to the whole EDA membership. Other pooling and sharing themes included cyber defense capabilities, route clearing CIED and a European Advanced Airlift Tactics Training Course (EAATTC). Arnould said it was important to pool maintenance and logistics support were applicable.
The EDA also planned to hold its third Helicopter Tactics Symposium from November 19-21 in Luxembourg. The EDA organized two helicopter training exercises during 2012 through the framework of the Helicopter Training Program (HTP). There were Hot Blade in Portugal and Green Blade in Belgium (September-October), which was largely focused around the Pegasus special forces exercise which ran alongside. According to the EDA, the exercises involved a total of 56 crews and more than 3,000 ground personnel.
During the Steering Board meeting the EDA reports that defense ministers signed a "program arrangement" for live exercises over the next 10 years.

2016: The Year in Reviews (July)
End of the year, time to recap. Every January, I go over everything that's schedule to come out, and a bunch more stuff that isn't yet scheduled. Based on what I know at that time, I guess my eventual ratings for them.
So what ends up happening is, I watch everything over the course of the year, writing up reviews articles every four months, recapping and rating all the films I saw during that period. Then, in December, I post these articles, which contain both the initial guess and the actual rating, along with a final rating, which is based on how I feel about the film having had time to sit and digest it for a period of time.
I do it to see how accurately I can guess ratings for movies a year in advance, but really it serves as a way to give a complete picture of my feelings about each movie I see.
Today we're recapping July: (more…)

Welcome to the Center for Oak Ridge Oral History
My mother was Tressie Stooksbury Wright, and her family came from the Loiston area of Norris damn. They were moved out of there in '33, and I remember my mother telling me that her father grieved for two years because his family had been on that land for 200 years. My dad was Arthur Wright, and he was the son of Ed and Edda Wright, and they lived in the Emory Valley area and attended; both of my parents' family attended New Hope Baptist Church. My mothers' family lived where Lynn Heart is now building the homes on Lafayette in Oak Ridge. That was their home, and my dad's family, his grandfather lived there in Emory Valley about where the Food Lion is now, and his father owed up a little bit closer to the Marina. My dads grandparents, their names where Steeles. John W. Steeles and he was married to Matilda Diggs Steele. My dad always loved to tell about the time when his father was called up to Clinton before the judge because he was not sending his oldest child Edna Wright to school, and the judges asked him, "Why aren't you sending her to school?" And he said, "Well, at that time she rode a horse and buggy to school." And he said, "The horse and buggy, it was too muddy to send the horses through." And he said, "Do you expect me to send my daughter to school in the mud? So the whole thing was dismissed, but dad loved to tell that story about not being able to send his children to school, but I though that was kind of funny, and my grandfather was a very short man, and to see him standing up against a judge would have been amazing to me.
My mother's family, the Stooksbury family, lived in Loiston which is now the Norris Damn area. They moved from there in 1933 and bought land here in Oak Ridge which is Robertsville which is where now where Lynn Heart is building the new homes on Lafayette. My mother said that her father grieved for two years. They were really worried because he had to leave his family's home of probably 200 years. Grandpa was a farmer. That's all he knew, and then he purchased the nine acres here. My dad's family lived in Emory Valley at that time which is Luttrell crossing was what always he called it. They married in January of 1942, and my mother's dad bought property up above Clinton, and my father's father bought property in West Wolf Valley in Clinton, and my mother lived which each of them and swapped out times because my dad had went to World War II three weeks after they were married
My grandfather was called up to the judge in Clinton for not sending his daughter to school. At that time she rode a horse and buggy to school. I think it was probably the Scarboro School, and the judge asked him why he didn't send her to school, and he says, "Well, it was so muddy that she couldn't ride in the horse and buggy. It was too muddy for the mules or the horses to pull the wagon. Don't you think it was too muddy for my daughter to walk to school?" And the judge agreed with him and turned it all down. But my grandfather was a very short man. I can't even imagine him standing up in front of the judge anyway, but as it turned out it was dismissed, and she was able to go on to school after it dried up some.
Grandpa Wright owned a saw mill, and he employed Levi Collins, and Levi lived with my grandfather's family at the time. Levi also spent time in prison and had whittled a walking stick for all three of the children in my grandfather's family. We always thought that was just amazing to get to play with that walking stick, and dad didn't want us to even touch it much less play with it. But he remembered Levi with some very fond memories of Levi living with him and working at the saw mill. That's all my dad ever knew. Matter of fact, later my dad owned and operated a saw mill when he came out of the service after World War II, and did up until he retired at 72 years old.
Both families, my mother and father they attended New Hope Baptist Church. My mother is buried there in the cemetery. It was always a sore spot with my dad that his aunt passed away in March of 1942, and they never put up a tombstone. So this past September, October we got the tombstone put up for her. I hated that because it was after his passing, but maybe he knows it now anyway.
My grandfather owned and operated a saw mill, and Levi Collins, the mountain man as referred to in the heartland series, lived with his family at that time, and Levi must have been an amazing character. My grandfather has kept a ledger of the money that he paid Levi and the tab, a daily tab, or my grandmother kept if for him because my grandfather could not read nor write, and I'm sure what she wrote down is what he remembered when he got home at the end of the day. But Levi had killed a man and spent some time in prison, and while he was in prison he whittled a walking stick, or actually three of them, one for each of my father and his brother and sister. That was a special thing for my dad to have, and we still have that, and he whittled the little balls on the inside of it which was a beautiful piece of wood and artwork I think.
When my Grandfather Wright owned and operated a saw mill, and Levi Collins worked with him and lived with my fathers family from a certain time, my grandfather has a ledger where he's keeping tabs on what Mr. Collins owed him, and what he paid him at that time, but Levi killed a man and was in prison, and while he was in prison he whittled my dad and his brother and sister a walking stick. He also whittled the little balls in the side of it. As children we were always amazed and wanted to play with the stick, and my dad just didn't want us to even tough hit much less play with it. But he thought that was a special piece for him to keep and treasure, and hopefully I can keep it for him.
Levi Collins lived with my dad's family, and he was in prison for a certain amount of time, and while he was in prison he whittled a walking stick for my dad, one for his brother, and one for his sister. The little balls inside, and one is stuck, but my dad is just very fond of this walking stick. It was something that he did not want us children to play with. Of course, we always wanted to play with it and listen to the balls roll inside, but I guess it's part of dad. Dad loved wood. He loved anything that Levi had done, and Levi was special to him. So it's special to me because it was to him.
This is the ledger that my grandfather kept from the saw mill I'm sure. It's in my grandmothers writing because my grandfather could not read or write, but this is where Levi Collins worked for him, and he kept a tap for Levi. This was in April of 1933, and he built a toilet for New Hope Baptist church, and he got $.10 for it.
My parents, both of their families attended New Hope Baptist Church. Now I think my dads family the Wrights were actually members. My mothers family were Methodist, and I think they were part of the ones who maybe would come on Sunday nights and be there at the time, but they were both members of the BYPU which was Baptist Young Peoples Union, and I have some of the records that were kept from that union, and it was amazing the things that are written in the back. At one point they took up money for a hospital bill, and my Grandfather Wright donated like $2.00 and a bushel of corn. I just thought that was amazing. Another one of the books where they gathered the money to buy the piano that is now or was in New Hope Baptist Church. My dad's cousin now has that piano in her home, and I have the stool to it. According to my mother my grandfather built that stool, and it looks homemade.
My dad was a very prompt person on decorating the graves. So I came every Memorial Day that I could with him and with mom. I even have a picture of my mom in a cast up to her knee at the cemetery, and my dad's pointing to where the stone should be. The stone that we finally got set this past fall. My great grandmother is buried there. I also; my husband and I put down a stone for my uncles grave that is there that my dad even forgot where it was, but he did tell me that it was buried right next to his first cousin, and the babies had died three weeks apart. So we found where we think the stone was and put a small stone down, and yes I still try to go every Memorial Day and put a small flower on each of those graves, and I love to look at the names and try to determine: is this my ancestor, is this somebody I should know? But it's just something very special that dad tried to do and my mother too. She always wanted to be in and have a part of decorating the graves.
My great grandmother is buried in New Hope Cemetery. My dad's aunt passed away in March of '42. It was always a very sore spot with my dad that there was never a stone put up at her grave, but I'm sure at that time it was hard for them to get into the cemetery to put up a stone, much less get in to burry her. My dad's cousin still remembers when they came into burry her, and they have a roster with everyone that came into that cemetery. This past September, October we finally got a stone put up at her grave. Her daughter lives in Cleveland Tennessee, and we were able to make that happen and I'm sure my father if he were living today would be thrilled to death that his aunt has a stone at her grave.
My dad and my whole family, there was six of us, and we had my aunt, my dad's aunt, with us. She was all the time telling stories, telling jokes, laughing; she was just the life of the party. We were inside the gate with flowers in the trunk, and she was telling jokes, and my daddy was laughing and was not paying attention to his driving. So we were stopped by the security control. My dad was speeding. They made all of us get out of the car. It scarred me to death. We had to open the trunk and prove that we did have flowers, and that we were going where we said we were going, but they just warned us, but I was terrified as a little girl, but we did get in and decorate the graves fine.
Mother graduated from Robertsville High School in 1941. I tried to find her annual that she had that year, but with their passing away and cleaning out the house, I could not put my hands on it, but she was very proud of the fact that she did graduate from high school even though it took her two extra years because of the move from Norris Damn area into the Oak Ridge area, but she was real proud of being able to graduate from Robertsville.
Dad loved to play baseball. Now my dad only went to a 5th grade education, but he lived in Emory Valley, and he loved to play baseball, and he really wanted to try out professionally, and he often told us fondly of coming to Robertsville School, playing baseball on Sunday afternoon, and then running back up to Emory Valley in the dark, but he said he did that just to get to play baseball, but as you know the World War II came along, and he didn't even get to think about playing professional baseball. He played it in the Philippines.
Mother and dad were married in January of 1942. They lived together three weeks when dad had to go into service in Savannah Georgia. After mother and dad where married, mom came home. She buried her mother and then came home from the funeral services and there was an eviction notice that they had to be out in 18 days. Needless to say that was a horrible time for them to have to move, and she tells the story of when they moved from the house she left her, her and her sister, left their grandmothers sewing machines in one of the back rooms, and said, "If my daddy had known that," said, "he would have wore both us out for leaving that sewing machine." But she said, "It wasn't worth a hill of beans."
My mother's mother passed away I think in February of 1942. When they came home from the funeral there was an eviction notice on the door that they had to be out of their home in 18 days. So they had to replace themselves somewhere else again, and the grandparents were not real happy with the government at that time.
Well dad was in service, and my mothers family moved to Halls, and she lived with them for a while, and my dads mother and father moved to West Wolf Valley in Clinton and lived there, and my mother lived with both of, my dad's parents and her parents off and on when the oldest son was born in West Wolf Valley until dad came home. He was two before my dad ever got to see him.
My grandfather also had a horse and buggy that he took people to church in and later of course a truck, a flatbed truck, a big truck that people would gather and he would pick up everybody as he came to the church, and they would all ride the truck. Even I've heard stories of people falling off the truck which today would be a horrible sin in our time, but he did drive a truck, and he did pick up people and bring them to New Hope very often.

Bodhi Seeds promote englightenment.
Meditation Malas are used for meditation practice to count breaths or mantra repetitions. Neck malas have 108 beads and a 'head bead' to indicate the end and beginning of each 108-bead count. The number of beads signifies the 108 worldly sins in the Buddhist tradition or as a multiple of '9' in the Hindu tradition. This number is also significant in many other religions. Each type of bead has its own significance.
Wrist malas have 27 beads and a head bead. Counting the wrist mala beads 4 times over will achieve a count of 108. Wrist malas have an elastic cord and do not have knots between the beads. Length measurements are around the mala - the circumference.

Rethinking MLK and VietnamNews at Home
Current events will only make the decision to highlight such speeches as "I Have a Dream" even more alluring. This year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day occurs almost exactly one year after the inauguration of Barack Obama, the nation's first African-American president. If the "architects of our republic" had indeed viewed America's founding documents as "a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir" – as King proclaimed in his 1963 speech – then perhaps one can read the election of Obama as the moment when the nation's African-American population finally had complete access to "the bank of justice." With such a development in mind, it seems as if the day when all Americans would live "in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" has finally arrived.
Obviously, there is much to this reading of King's life and words. King often spoke a language of democracy that transcended the confines of race, a language that Obama clearly drew upon throughout the 2008 campaign season. Sadly, King did not live to see the end result of his vision. In such a context, Obama's election victory served as a fitting conclusion to the long narrative of the modern civil rights movement, a victory that King would have joyfully welcomed. We, as a nation, had finally overcome.
Yet King was more than just one speech. And King, particularly towards the last years of his life, came to see the realities of racial inequality as just symptom of a larger disease that had inflicted America: the sickness of empire. It is this aspect of King's body of work that I hope educators – as well as Obama himself – reflect upon this week. For King, as the Vietnam War raged on, violence abroad threatened to derail the real progress that the civil rights movement had made throughout the early to mid-1960s. Yet more importantly, King's evolution into an anti-war activist highlighted his ability to diagnosis the root cause of the country's sickness: its inability to view both the past and the present free from its ideological blinders. In places such as Vietnam, history and Cold War anti-communism had become so intertwined that an honest assessment of America's policies in the region had become impossible.
One begins to see evidence of King's burgeoning anti-war beliefs in such speeches as "Beyond Vietnam." In this speech, given April 4, 1967 before a crowd of 3,000 in New York's Riverside Church, King eloquently outlined his growing mistrust of American foreign policy. On one level, the country's escalation of attacks in Vietnam was making it harder and harder for King to convince younger, more militant civil rights demonstrators of the need to embrace non-violent confrontation. Such young people, when asked to confront the American state non-violently, answered back with one question: "what about Vietnam?" Violence, as the Vietnam War profoundly illustrated, had become the only language that U.S. policymakers seemed to understand.
At the same time, King realized that more money spent for the war effort meant less money for such domestic concerns as anti-poverty efforts. The Vietnam War was therefore "like some demonic suction tube," one that compelled King to "see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such." Yet the war was doing more than robbing America's poor by diverting resources from needy neighborhoods. It was also decimating another valuable resource: the very lives of African-American men. Convinced that the war "was sending their sons and their brothers and their husbands to fight and to die in extraordinarily high proportions to the rest of the population," King felt he had little choice but to speak out against such a destructive conflict.
Yet the most grievous error that American forces had made in Vietnam was misreading the region's history. The U.S. military had believed that the Vietnamese, following France's withdrawal from the country in 1954, would welcome an American presence in the region (one wonders if Dick Cheney heard this speech). To King, the Americans were undoubtedly viewed as "strange liberators." After all, the Vietnamese people had already proclaimed their independence in 1945 – using, as King pointed out, the American Declaration of Independence in their own "document of freedom." Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh had even written to President Harry S. Truman, proclaiming his admiration of American-style democracy and asking his administration to recognize the independence movement (Truman never wrote back). Instead, as King concluded, "we refused to recognize them.
At the core of this refusal was the belief that the "the Vietnamese people were not 'ready' for independence." Without our assistance and oversight, Vietnam would fall victim to the communist forces of the Soviet Union and China. Here, America "feel victim to the deadly Western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long." Unable to see beyond the binaries of the Cold War, America viewed Vietnamese development solely through the lens of anti-communism. Those that fought against us were then cast as inhuman agents of communism, their true motives for resisting American occupation left unexplored and unexamined. Instead, the U.S. focused exclusively on meeting such resistance through military means, paying little attention to the psychological and political repercussions of these destructive policies.
America, as President Obama has reminded us many times recently, is a country currently engaged in two wars. In many ways, we seem to have paid little attention to the warnings offered by King in 1967. The situations in both Iraq and Afghanistan are both marked by the inability to see beyond the ideological confines of the "War on Terror." History has mattered little in these two conflicts, and – nine years after our initial campaign in Afghanistan – we still have very little understanding of the root causes of the animus against the United States. It is within this context that a reexamination of King's entire body of work would prove useful at this historical moment.
All of this is not to simply argue that Afghanistan (or Iraq) will soon turn into Obama's Vietnam. King's thoughts on Vietnam remind us that a certain ahistorical hubris has informed U.S. foreign policy for much of the country's existence – regardless of where these policies were ultimately enacted. We don't need to cast Obama as a latter-day LBJ to make the case that we need to rethink our positions in Iraq and Afghanistan. We might, however, want to revisit King's thoughts on such matters as we begin this difficult process.

Mr. Bernstein,
Sorry about your lost patience. We lesser mortals do dither about truth, don't we? However, your patronizing reference to Dommen unfortunately shows readers that you completely misunderstood the discussion.
Dommen clearly agrees with me; he conjoins the political fates of Laos, Cambodia and VN while making his larger points about the follies of both the French and the Americans - one colonial, the other altruistic.
My knowledge of VN is from reading the more mundane writings of people like Ho Chi Minh, Giap, politicians on both sides and ordinary grunts like me who served over there. With many words and voluminous references, Dommen essentially agrees that SE Asia did not necessarily have to become Communist, but (due to the likes of Mendez-France and Kissinger) nationalists were left with little choice but to succumb after we abandoned them to the Communists.
I strongly urge you to read arguments and sources more carefully, lest the hoi polloi lose patience with you.

So much heat and so little light. I woild remind you both that Pol Pot and his merry band of murderers did not emerge full blown from the brow of Zeus like Athena. There is an explanation for the "how" of the Indochina wars. I would suggest you both take the time to read a relatively old but rigorously researched book that attempts to narrate what happened and how it occurred. I refer to Arthur J. Dommen, The Indochina Experience of the French and the Americans: Nationalism and Communism in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2001). Firmly grounded in primary sources it tells an awful story and no one emerges pure in heart. I find that as I grow more experienced I tend to lose patience with those who are convinced of their "truth" and will not bother to do the hard work of reading, researching, writing, and thinking.

Ms. Slater,
The study of history is better enhanced by observing real events rather than trying to articulate a politically correct fairy tale.
Among the very many things you've obviously "forgotten" are events that occurred in the years after the U.S left South Vietnam to the communists.
Let me remind you: after 1975, Saloth Sar led his Khmer Rouge to kill 2 million Cambodians in the name of communist rule. After 1975 the Pathet Lao killed over 300,000 laotian civilians in the name of communism. After 1975 in Myanmar a military dictatorship slaughtered over 500,000 ethnic Chinese and other refugees who had fled communism. Burma, now ruled by the State Peace and Development Council, is a military dictatorship where the rulers control the means of production and all the economy.
Ms. Slater, a history site is an unfortunate place to exhibit an ideological ignorance of history.
Bill Heuisler
Susan Slater - 1/19/2010
One thing that Mr. Heuisler seems to have forgotton is that anti-communists' were not correct about the domino theory, one of their rationales about why the US had to fight this war in the first place.
Bill Heuisler - 1/18/2010
Mr Carriere,
Let's talk real history on HNN.
The current Vietnamese government is communist. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese fled the country.
Your failure to notice that the anti communists were correct says a lot about your ideological blindness and failure to discern actual history.
For your information, the communists did take over in South Vietnam. Those Southerners yearning for liberation were killed, imprisoned and forced to flee in the millions.
Pretending the American Left was correct in its anti American doctrine and that MLK was correct in his denial of communist designs is simply absurd in light of actual history.

DSLR Video Editing for Photographers - Pt. 3

[♪mellow guitar music♪] [DSLR video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5] [Make Your Images Come Alive - with Jason Levine] Hello, everyone. My name is Jason Levine. Welcome to Part 3 of DSLR video editing for the Pro photographer. In this episode I'm going to talk to you about using markers and creating animations or motion on your still images. So markers are used oftentimes when you're wanting to time specific events in a sequence. For instance, if you want things to appear in time against a musical soundtrack, I'm going to show you how to do that. And then we're going to show you how to effectively add animation, add motion to those stills. This is also known as the Ken Burns Effect. We'll save the animation for the end. Let's talk about markers first because as you all know, when you add music to something, that's really what creates the life, right? That's really what brings all this moving stuff to life is having a really nice soundtrack. And also what helps it look a bit more polished is if you have the video events in sync with changes in the music. Now, you don't have to be a musician to know how to do this. You can basically just use your ear and your eyes, and you can use markers to indicate in your Timeline where you want those changes to occur. So what you'll see is I've actually got an audio file in here. This is a piece that I composed. By the way, of course your interface here, you can navigate around this. If you want to make a particular panel full screen in Premiere Pro, you can hit the Tilde key, which is--I can't even really describe that. It's different on all different keyboards. I wish I could tell you what it is on others. The Tilde key will allow any panel to be full screen. So we can move around here. Here is our audio too. By the way, we all have these little arrows that you can collapse or expand, so if I wanted to shrink this up. You'll also notice that you've got these little portion bars here so you can make it larger. The same goes for video if we wanted to make our video a bit bigger, those video thumbnails a bit larger. You can do that. I'm using my plus and minus here to zoom in, etc. So lots of flexibility there. Okay. So I've got my music, and let's take a quick listen to this. I'm going to turn up the speakers so we can hear. Take a listen. [♪mellow music♪] Okay. So you can kind of hear the beat, specifically with those cellos, where you might want those transitions to happen. As it turns out, just my rough edit guess here seems to work pretty well. But we can finesse that a bit more. Something else to keep in mind while you're doing this, remember that you're DSLR cameras capture audio too, so you'll see that on Audio Track 1 I've got all of the live audio from those cameras, which is a lot of wind blowing and probably not great. [chuckles] Keep in mind if you want to just disable that, you can come over to any particular audio track, and you can just toggle on or off the sound. That's not destroying the track or anything, it's just disabling the audio at that particular moment. Just to give you an idea here, let's turn it back on. [♪mellow music♪] [wind blowing] It might be hard to hear there, but it's getting all this sort of rumble. So if we turn it off, you're not going to hear any of that. If I turn this off, now no music, right? Okay. So let's go ahead and now what I want to actually do is let's add markers. The best way to do it is right here we have this Set Unnumbered Marker. There's a keyboard shortcut for that. I'm actually just going to click on it because what we can actually do, we can play back, and as we're playing, when we feel a change necessary [snaps fingers], we can click, and it will automatically drop one of those markers in there. Let's do it. [♪mellow music♪] Okay. So you get the idea. You can see where I dropped all those markers. Now effectively what we can do is we can take the edge of our video or our images-- I'm going to do a ripple here so I'm holding down my Command key or the Control key on the PC--and I can move these. And you'll notice that as I cross the marker, it snaps to the marker. So I can adjust the durations of these clips very, very nicely like so. And you'll notice, by the way, that the transitions and everything else stays with those images, so now we have some nice changes and we can actually time these so it just looks and feels a bit more smooth and a bit more musical. Now if we take a look here, let's add a nice little transition to that. I'm going to add a Dip to Black, cross these here, let's wind back and play again. Here we go. [♪mellow music♪] Now remember, we're probably going to have motion on this one. Here we go. Another one. [♪♪] And a transition. [♪♪] Okay. You get the idea. Pretty cool, right? Really simple. And this is again one of those things, simple stuff, but it's going to make your video presentation look that much better when it's actually timed against the music. But what is missing here is the actual motion on these clips. These images are starting to look pretty dull not moving. So what we might want to do is maybe start out with something like a nice zoom out, right? This is that classic Ken Burns style, slow zooms. It pulls you in having this movement on these images. And these really nice images that I took in the desert, it'll serve them well to have some really nice dramatic zooms and/or pans. So let's start by doing just that, creating a nice kind of zoom. Because we've already got some transitions on here, I'm actually going to place my cursor in the middle of the image just so that I can see everything so that it's not in the middle of a fade. And I'm going to come over here again and click on Effects Controls. So with the clip selected, I'm going to twirl down Motion. And effectively all we're going to do is we're going to scale this and we're going to use keyframing to do that. Now, if you don't know keyframing, here's the good news: If you've ever used the animation timeline in Photoshop CS5, keyframing is exactly the same. The process is the same, the way it works is the same, so nothing is different. If you've never done this before, what is a keyframe? Well, kind of as the word describes, it's a key frame, it's a key moment in time where you are indicating to the editing application that there is going to be some kind of a change, whether it's a change in scale, a change in position, a change in rotation, anything. The keyframe is just indicating at that moment in time there's going to be some kind of change moving forward, right? So that's what we're going to do. And basically, we can create this nice little zoom out with two keyframes. So I'm going to come over here and scale. First we have to decide how much we're going to actually scale. I often set the ending keyframe, like sort of the finished position, first. So if we just take a look at this image first of all, we've got to see how much room we've got to work with. I'm thinking a zoom in will actually look pretty good, so I want to first set the final size of this image. That might be a little too large. We don't need to move a lot. The other thing to remember is you don't need to move too much to still create a pretty dramatic effect. So 109 percent scale is where I want this to finish. To set that keyframe properly, I'm going to come to the end of my clip here, and you can see it's in the middle of this transition. By the way, you can also use those shortcut keys. I'm using the Function, down arrow to go to the end there. I'm going to click on this Toggle animation button right here next to Scale. Okay? Boom! And it's going to add a keyframe for me right there. Remember, that's the ending position. But we want it to zoom in gradually, so now we're going to go to the beginning of that clip. I held down my Function key and the up arrow. Now I'm going to scale this back down. We can drag it manually here. So here's something to consider: Remember that you only have to click on this Toggle animation button one time-- the first time, the first keyframe you set--because each time you move the playhead-- you move the cursor and adjust a parameter-- it automatically draws the next keyframe for you. So that's a very important thing to learn. If you click Toggle animation a second time for the second keyframe, you will effectively erase the first keyframe you made. That's a little bit backward, a little bit weird. The good news is that it works the same in Premiere and After Effects and in Photoshop. So now if we just play this, we've got this nice fade up and this nice slow zoom. That almost seems [chuckles] a little too long, right? That's okay. Remember, we can always adjust durations. The key is we've got this nice motion happening here. Now, if we want this to seem a little less linear-- because you'll notice that it does in fact seem kind of like it's moving along at a constant speed. It is, but we can actually add little ramps or eases--ease in, ease out. If you've ever used After Effects, you know this real well. It's also known in some circles as temporal interpolation. Here's what you have to do: If you just want something to ramp out of the gate and then slow down as it comes into its final position, you can right click on a keyframe and we can choose Ease Out. Right click on the End keyframe, and for this one we want to ease in so that it actually kind of slows down as it approaches that keyframe. So do that. And now when we take a look at this, let's wind it back. I don't know if you can quite see, but there's a little bit of a transition as it moves in and then as it slows into its final position. Really cool, really simple, right? Now here's the other thing: Let's say that we wanted to copy these same attributes to another image, okay? Let's say I wanted to actually repeat that same motion on the next image. I can right click on the clip and choose Copy, which is going to copy all of the animation that I have. Come over to my next clip, which you can see doesn't have any properties on it yet, right click or control click Paste Attributes. Boom! Now when we play these back, we've now just copied the same attributes across both of these images. You can also kind of see why a nice longer transition might work better here. This is where, if we were to come in here, we could adjust the cross dissolve duration so that it just looks a bit more smooth. Something like this. Take a look now. [♪upbeat music♪] Yeah. That just looks infinitely better, right? And very quickly start to create some movement. The really cool thing, though, and the really interesting thing that they do with this Ken Burns Effect is to show actual panning, so panning and zooming. This next image is a perfect one to use for that because what we have here is a family on a motorcycle. And if we just zoom out, if we scale down here, you can see that what we might want to do is actually start zoomed in and then we kind of want to pan across all of these different characters. So first what we can do, make sure you select the clip. If you actually click on Motion up here-- you'll see it'll become highlighted--we can now take this piece of video and we can sort of move it around inside the frame. You can see the edges of it right there. So we could start here, for instance, and let's scale up a bit, something like that. Move it around. So we could start here, and let's say we set a keyframe. So let's just set a scale keyframe. We can move those around after the fact. Let's go to the end here and go back one frame. By the way, I can use my arrow keys to advance frames. I'm going to scale it back out. So the final scale will be something like that. Okay? So now we've got our scale keyframes. But of course we want to move as this is scaling, so let's move this one over. We can set a position keyframe. We're already in the first position that we want. Click on the Toggle animation--it sets the keyframe for us-- come over here, and we know that we want to be focused over here, maybe right in the middle, something like that. Okay? So now you can see we're actually panning across and simultaneously zooming out. All right? Now, what's cool about this, I'm going to hit that Tilde key to go full screen. You'll notice that we have this little sort of diagram here showing us how this movement is working. By the way, this is also known as your jog wheel so I can see what's happening here. You'll notice that along the motion path that you see here, we actually have little handles that you can grab, and then you can actually bezier this motion just to create a smoother transition from Point A to Point B. That's really what it's all about. You can see I can adjust these handles just like that to create a bit of beziered motion. It helps to be full screen and then shrink it down. Let's go back here. Now when we wind back and hit Play, it transitions. [♪upbeat music♪] Right? Very cool. And now here's where we might add one of those cross dissolves across the two clips, zoom in again, nice long cross dissolve like this, transition, here we go from video transitioning to our moving still, transitioning back to another still. Really cool, right? Really simple. So that's the basic idea. That's the basic concept of using motion. We're going to use this again. You'll see me do this again in the next episode where we're actually going to be talking about using some of your familiar friends, Photoshop files and such, and even talking about animation and the animation timeline. So stay tuned for the next one. I hope you've enjoyed it. We'll see you in Part 4. Take care.

I am looking for the approach we need to adopt to capture the temporary presence of the list of user ids. I heard that the same is present in AJAX based Jabberwerx approach. But, here I'm trying to build a server side logic to capture the set of users (dynamic in nature) presence.
My requirement goes this way:
I need to capture the set of user's presence information and display the same on my portal. For this I'll get a generic userid which doesn't have the list of users added to it's roster list but should be able to capture the presence (Reason is the list of user ids will be dynamic and changes from time to time)
Could some one please help assisting in this regard? Any pointers or documentation would be of great help.

From Elev8.com:
The CDC's Vision Health Initiative (VHI) is partnering with the National Eye Institute to encourage all Americans to make vision a health priority. Vision impairment becomes more common as people age. Women, minority groups, and people with chronic diseases like diabetes may be at higher risk for having vision impairment. The number of Americans 40 years and older with diabetic retinopathy and vision threatening retinopathy will triple in 2050; from 5.5 million to 16 million and from 1.2 million to 3.4 million respectively. While some eye conditions, like cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration, can cause vision loss and even blindness, others, such as refractive errors, are common problems that can be easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Vision health is an important public health concern because vision loss is associated with falls, depression, social isolation, and overall poorer health. Quality of life may be comprised because people with vision loss may have difficulties with activities such as reading, meal preparation, and driving a car.
Regular eye exams are important for good eye health as well as overall health. A comprehensive dilated eye exam is a painless procedure in which an eye care professional examines the eyes to look for common vision problems and eye diseases, many of which have no early warning signs. People with diabetes need a comprehensive dilated eye examination at least once a year. Early detection, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up may prevent vision loss and blindness.
Here are some tips to help you protect your vision:
- Get a comprehensive dilated eye exam
- Know your family's eye health history
- Eat right to protect your sight, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home
- Quit smoking or never start
- Wear sunglasses that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation
- Clean your hands and your contact lenses properly to avoid the risk of infection
- Practice workplace eye safety
