The Museum of Wonders is an Italian flick, which tells the story of a dwarf named Marcel who owns and operates a circus, but falls in love with a dancer named Salome, who upon finding out of his inheritance, conspires to have him killed. When the rest of the performers in the circus find out, they team up for some sweet revenge on those who would do harm to Marcel.
I had seen the trailer before reviewing the film and was sort of blown away with the visuals. This, unfortunately, is where my like for the film begins and ends. The Museum of Wonders is a giant soap opera. Seriously, it plays like one. You've got the studs and the beautiful women who croon and moan over past and present loves, and whatnot. The film takes place entirely at the circus or in the set that has been built to look like one.

A recent film | that I reviewed called House of Pleasures took place in one location and that film was a masterpiece by comparison.

Apart from official IT Security events, London ethical hackers like to organize monthly meetings such as DC4420 in clubs, sometimes changing their location. In an informal manner they exchange their experience, represent new ideas and technologies.
|May 12th, 2009 by Vladimir Katalov|
We learned about this event first from icesurfer who follows us on twitter when he dropped by our booth at InfoSecurity Europe 2009 to say hello and so we’ve been lucky to get an invitation to this underground “techno-party”.
After a busy day at the exhibition talking to all from sales guys to journalists this warm and welcome gathering tempted us to stay longer. However, our plane (back to Moscow) was to take off the next morning that is why we could only hear the first presentation (out of three) and to be frank got an over-the-top-pleasure hearing it.

Smoke, haze cover central Washington
Originally published on Wed September 12, 2012 3:15 pm
A smoky haze is covering much of central Washington Wednesday. At least four significant wildfires are burning around Wenatchee.
About 150 homes have been evacuated there, along with another 40 near the town of Cashmere. Fire managers have told even more people to be ready to flee.
Traveling through central Washington, our correspondent Austin Jenkins reports, “East of Snoqualmie in the | Cle Elum area, it is very smoky here and also quite breezy. As you move further east towards Ellensburg and even south into Yakima, the smoke clears but the skies remain incredibly hazy. The presence of fires in this part of Washington state is unmistakable.”

To keep our Italian Burgers’ toppings from sliding out from beneath the bun, we created a recipe that put them inside the burger, where they couldn’t fall out. We added our recipe’s ingredients straight into the burger mix. Our recipe calls for | 85 percent lean ground beef, which kept the burgers from being too greasy. And because the ingredients were mixed into the meat, we found it best to cook the burgers to well-done. The Parmesan cheese kept them from being dry or tough.
Although we usually enjoy our burgers medium-rare, with extra ingredients added, tasters found that the burgers were too soft unless cooked through (basically, well-done).

Charlie Miller, the security researcher most well known for his Safari exploits that earned him cash and free MacBooks in the last two Pwn2Own contests, sat down with Tom's Hardware for a lengthy interview. He detailed several areas where Apple could improve security for both Mac OS X and Safari, but ultimately, he still recommends Macs over Windows for most users.
Miller stressed that the exploits he has used took significant effort to develop. "Yes, I took down the Mac in under a minute each time," he told Tom's Hardware. "However, this doesn't show the fact that I spent many days doing research and writing the exploit before the day of the competition." He said if he were to sit down at a machine and be told he had two minutes to hack it, he wouldn't be that successful.
For browser security, though, he praised Google's Chrome for its per-tab process sandbox. "Sandboxing helps [security] quite a bit, if done properly," said Miller | . "Basically, the attacker has to get code running and then figure out how to get out of, or break, the sandbox." Safari doesn't currently employ any such sandboxing techniques.
Further, said Miller, Mac OS X doesn't fully implement current security techniques such as "no execute" memory space protection or address space layout randomization. "The idea is there will always be bugs and vulnerabilities in software," he said. "But you can make it | [

15 Things to Know About "Office 15"
The next version of Microsoft Office is expected to arrive later this year. We don't know for sure what new major features will be added to its individual applications (i.e. Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Word), but several tidbits about the overall suite have been subtly revealed or officially announced by Microsoft. Plus, there's been plenty of speculation by the tech news media.
1. "2012" (or maybe "2013") not "15"
Although the next version of Office has been referred to as "Office 15" (even the official Microsoft Office blog calls it that), "Office 2012" will probably be its final release name -- provided that things stay on schedule and the next Office is released this year. (The "15" refers to the version number of the overall Office suite.)
2. Technical preview
Microsoft announced on Jan. 30 that a "select group of customers" had been granted access to a "technical preview" of the next version of Office to test it, and provide feedback to Microsoft. These people are under N | DA, but on March 6, a number of details about the individual applications (Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word) were leaked, which reveal clean layouts that emphasize the use of white space.
3. "Office 15" leaked?

We have this very cool report from Michael Gochfeld, author with Joanna Burger of "Butterflies of New Jersey: A Guide to Their Status, Distribution, Conservation and Appreciation" (Rutgers University Press,1997):
Giant Swallowtails Appear in New Jersey
The Giant Swallowtail, a southern species of butterfly, that rarely visits New Jersey, is showing up in unprecedented numbers in many north Jersey localities in recent weeks.
Butterfly watchers from the North American Butterfly Association have been seeing Giant Swallowtails in various favorite butterflying haunts since early August, and numbers continue to increase, as new individuals arrive from the south. Several butterfly species tend to migrate northward in late summer, but some of the Giant Swallowtails may be the offspring of the few that were seen in New Jersey in 2007.
| Although called “Giant”, this swallowtail is only slightly larger than the very familiar and common Tiger Swallowtail from which it can be distinguished, by its entirely yellow under surface, and the broad yellow band across the black upper wing surface.
In the south the Giant Swallowtail caterpillars feed on various types of citrus, but in New Jersey their main plant host species is the Prickly Ash, Zanthoxylum americanum (which is not an | [

Vettel & Webber Sweep Korean Front Row
YEONGAM, Korea — Sebastian Vettel appeared to have pole position all locked up after the first runs in Q3 during qualifying Saturday for the Korean Grand Prix, but his Red Bull teammate, Mark Webber, upped the ante in the second set of runs and claimed the top qualifying position.
Still, the Red Bull cars will share the front row with Webber’s one minute and 37.242 second run, besting the one minute and 37.316 effort of Vettl, who has won two consecutive grands prix.
“Overall we can be very happy with the result. We were quite quick in the first and second qualifying sessions and had a good start to Q3,” Vettel explained. “On the last run, I had to back off starting the lap as Massa was there, it wasn’t his fault, but I had to back off. Nevertheless, the second lap in Q3 wasn’t good enough.

As our current low-cost sources of energy near their end, renewable energy sources become more valuable and worthier to pursue. The immensity of the energy that reaches earth along with its synchrony with the peak usage time of the day has made solar energy one of the most promising sources of energy for the future. Although cost per watt is the current driver in the solar cell industry, the environmental impact of the materials used as well as the footprint of the solar plants will be important in the future.
The solar efficiency rating of a photovoltaic cell, called external quantum efficiency, is a measure of the percentage of solar energy shining on the device that is harnessed with the cell. Higher efficiency cells are useful if they can help reduce the cost and/or footprint of | solar plants. Research on solar cell harvesting has lead to various thermal and photovoltaic approaches. The photovoltaic approach relies on the photovoltaic effect to convert solar radiation into electricity, a process in which electrons are transferred between different bands (from valence to conduction band) within the material, resulting in the buildup of a voltage or flow of current between the two electrodes.
A broad range of photovoltaic devices ranging from single crystal to amorphous semiconductors, thin-film technologies, organic and inorganic materials, and dye-sensitized cells have been and continue to be studied. | [

AAA Makes Predictions for August Gas Prices
After fuel prices rose sharply in July, AAA releases outlook for August.
AAA released its weekly fuel gauge report yesterday, showing a sharp increase in gas prices through the month of July and predicting that prices will remain high through Labor Day.
According to AAA numbers, national gas prices increased 5.1 percent, or 17 cents a gallon, over the course of July, to close out at $3.50 a gallon. That's the first monthly increase since March and the largest increase for July since at least 2000, when AAA began keeping records.
If it seems like prices had been low this summer, they were. Fuel costs had decreased three months in a row before falling to a summertime low of $3.326 on July 2. However, prices rose quickly to close out the month at the national average of $3.50, $3.66 in the Philadelphia region.
In its most recent report, AAA predicts with "medium-high" confidence that gas prices will remain flat or experience a small increase between now and Labor Day. That would buck a historical trend, as seven of the last ten Augusts have shown a gas price decrease.

UPDATE, 9 p.m.: Most power was restored to Ardsley residents by 9 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Con Edison. There were eight households awaiting power, though Con Edison did not provide a restoration time.
ARDSLEY, N.Y. – More than 800 residents in Ardsley and about 20 residents in Hastings lost power Tuesday afternoon after storms rolled through the Rivertowns.
The outages began with 300 residents losing power at about 4 p.m., Ardsley Village Manager George Calvi said in an email sent out to the village.
By 7 p.m. two pockets of outages were reported in Ardsley, totaling more than 800 residents, according to the outage map provided by Con Edison.
Hastings also sent out a village-wide email warning residents of the severe weather.
Officials asked residents to contact Con Edison to report outages | , downed power lines or service restorations by using the company website or calling 1-800-752-6633.
“Depending on the severity of storm damage, crews will give priority to restoring service lines that will provide power to the most customers as quickly as possible, then move on to restore smaller groups and individual customers who are without power,” a Con Edison representative said in a press release.
Officials urged residents to avoid downed power lines, stay indoors and check weather updates regularly | [

Jeremy Lin got the best of Deron Williams last time these two teams matched up at Madison Square Garden. I expect this to be a hell of a battle tonight.

I say, “Bien oui!” to The Yes Men!
Like Rick Mercer and This Hour has 22 Minutes, there’s a lot more truth than spoof in the treatment of Canada’s environmental policy by American satirists/activists The Yes Men. While I used to take great, smug pleasure in Rick Mercer “Talking to Americans” I feel shame for our country with the band of environmental pirates who purport to govern for all of Canada.
Stephen Harper, Jim Prentice and their cadre of environmental hooligans, in encouraging the tar sands development to just keep on going, treat the boreal forests of Alberta like a giant ash-tray, clear-cutting ancient forests and then further degrading the area by strip-mining down and down and down scraping up tar and then extracting the oil – the dirtiest oil business on the planet.
It’s like Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are in charge except that in their quarry the tar sands and their exploiters were just a glimmer in the eye of Bedrock. Dinosaurs, at least in terms of brain size, can still be found in the halls of Parliament.

Nine Inch Nails and the original Jane's Addiction lineup will embark on a May/June co-headlining tour that will see these seminal artists sharing a stage for the first time since the historic debut of the Lollapalooza festival in 1991. The genesis of the upcoming tour came about in late 2008 after NIN's Trent Reznor was tapped to produce Jane's first recordings since reforming.
The NIN/JA tour will feature a streamlined NIN with Reznor on vocals, guitars, keys, Robin Finck on guitars and keys, Justin Meldal-Johnsen on bass and keys, and newest NIN member IIan Rubin on drums and keys.

The Casentino Valley is surrounded by high hills with ancient woods. Along the Tosco-Emiliano Apennine is the Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park, where among steep cliffs and thick vegetation two important spiritual locations are well worth a visit: the Sanctuary of La Verna and the Monastery of Camaldoli.

We’ve been inspired by a wide range of companies and products that do this right, from Apple to Uchida Yoko to Moleskine.

Moleskine is the maker of beautifully designed notebooks and accessories that are the go-to choice for creative individuals of all types. While these notebooks are beloved for their quality and style, they suffer from an issue common to all physical notebooks…they’re physical.
That’s where Evernote comes in. We’ve partnered with Moleskine to develop a new, limited edition Evernote Smart Notebook that’s designed specifically for the new Evernote iOS application.

A Denver-based federal team fighting invasive freshwater mussels is investigating new and hopeful treatments, including poison, blasts of ultra-violet light and shock waves, and the introduction of a mussel-destroying predatory sunfish.
The researchers testing these tactics say some seem to work and, if proved, could save tens of millions of dollars by protecting western hydropower and water delivery facilities against the proliferating Eurasian quagga and zebra mussels.
"Once the mussels are there, this would help control them," said U.S. Bureau of Reclamation mussel program coordinator Leonard Willett, who this week was supervising tests at dams along the lower Colorado River.
Lab tests of the poison are "verypromising," he said. It contains Pseudomonas fluorescens — derived from a bacterium that destroys mussels but apparently not fish. The Environmental Protection Agency has been asked to issue an emergency permit allowing open-water tests.
The marble-size quagga and zebra mussels moved from central | Asia and use microscopic, sticky hairs to glom onto hard surfaces. Each female produces up to 350,000 eggs — driving an invasion that's choking off other aquatic life and clogging pipes, pumps and intake gates at reservoirs and power plants.

With the use of domestic drones increasing, concern has not just come up over privacy issues, but also over the potential use of lethal force by the unmanned aircraft.
Drones have been used overseas to target and kill high-level terror leaders and are also being used along the U.S.-Mexico border in the battle against illegal immigration. But now, these drones are starting to be used domestically at an increasing rate.
The Federal Aviation Administration has allowed several police departments to use drones across the U.S. They are controlled from a remote location and use infrared sensors and high-resolution cameras.
Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office | in Texas told The Daily that his department is considering using rubber bullets and tear gas on its drone.
“Those are things that law enforcement utilizes day in and day out and in certain situations it might be advantageous to have this type of system on the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle),” McDaniel told The Daily.

TOKYO, Feb. 18 (Kyodo) — A panel under Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority said in a draft report Monday that significant segments of the major geological faults running under Tohoku Electric Power Co.'s atomic power plant site in Aomori Prefecture are likely to be active.
The faults in question are not seen as running directly beneath the sole reactor at the Higashidori complex, but the assessment suggests that the reactor may have to remain offline for quite a while as the utility will need to reassess the plant's quake resistance and take measures to reinforce the facilities.
The draft report, which was a summary of discussions that have taken place among the panel members, also touched on the need to further study other smaller faults that run underneath an area close to the reactor building.
In quake-prone Japan, plant operators are not allowed to build nuclear reactors and related facilities important for safe reactor operation directly above active faults.
Officials of Tohoku Electric | , who also attended the discussions, said that the company will conduct additional geological surveys, taking into account the opinions it has received from the members of the panel.
But the utility maintained its argument that there are no active faults at the plant's premises. Executive Vice President Takeo Umeda told a press conference later in the day that one of the major purposes of the surveys is to "properly explain that there are no activities" in the faults.
The utility plans to compile the outcome of the surveys in December.

It can run off the grid, taking dainty sips of energy to keep shining.

Jeremy McGrath's Offroad Review
Burning rubber on a budget.
Those who've been gaming since the days when it meant being tethered to a console by a wired controller (crazy, right?) might remember Acclaim's Jeremy McGrath Supercross series. If you don't, consider yourself lucky—they were awful. Thankfully, McGrath's latest video game effort, Offroad, has nothing in common with it, save for the supercross star's name.
The first thing you'll notice about Offroad is its lack of knobby-tired motorcycles. Yep, despite Offroad starring the “King of Supercross,” it's all about McGrath's newest passion: racing dirt-kickin' four-wheelers such as Sportsman Buggies, P | rolite Trucks, Pro Buggies, Rally Cars, and Trophy Trucks. The second thing you'll discover is that Offroad's a refreshingly accessible, arcade-y romp into a genre that often keeps rookie racers at arm's length.
The streamlined controls, trio of difficulty levels, varied vehicle set-ups, and manageable amount of modes and content welcome anyone to start their engines. Additionally, players aren't punished while learning the ropes; even those who consistently place last in events will see their careers | [

The Spurs have changed in undeniable ways since Hill, a player coach Gregg Popovich once dubbed his favorite, was traded to the Pacers in June. Rookie Kawhi Leonard has taken Hill’s place on the roster and Patrick Mills his stall in the locker room, and the Spurs have loaded up for the stretch run by adding Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw.

I seem to be glued to this blog today – it’s this “Qatif girl” case that I can’t get out of my mind. I just checked on BBC website and the latest story is all about the USA reaction and in particular George Bush’s utter refusal to condemn this unbelievable demonstration of Saudi Arabia’ state-sponsored misogyny.
There is still nothing on the reaction of our own government!
I have just written to my MP to ask him what our government makes of it all. If we all write to our MPs asking them to raise the matter with government then at least they will have to come out one way or the other, condemning what has happened (is happening) or not. That has to be something, right?
Writing to your MP is easy, you can do it online here, as long as you know your postcode and what you want to say:
My message is pasted below. Feel free to make use of it, but please bear in mind that, as WriteToThem rightly point out, MPs tend to take you much more seriously if you make up your own words (and the website doesn’t accept copy-paste messages anyway).

To the Editor,
As I write this, America is still awaiting word on the Benghazi issue. Just as Hillary Clinton was preparing to testify, she became ill, suffering a concussion. Anyone want to bet that the concussion somehow affects her memory?
Now, our ambassador to Yemen is targeted by a $100,000 al-Qaeda bounty. Will the Obama cadre ignore this, as they did the Benghazi facility's multiple pleas for increased security?
In my opinion, what the recent local teen rape incident and the Sandy Hook school shootings share in common is the scarcity of traditional values taught in our public schools and, sadly-and perhaps resultantly-in | many homes.
Also, the "outcome-based" philosophy espoused by some modern educators often focuses more on artificially building self-esteem than on actual education, leading to dumbing-down of curricula, and reduced standards of work and discipline. This sometimes results in inner-directed, entitled, arrogant children who aren't much concerned with the consequences of their actions.

Secret Worlds: 3 Magical Myths For Grown-Ups
We have all felt the ethereal siren song of other universes — the thrilling suspicion that touching a certain ring may in fact suck you into a Wood Between the Worlds, or that if you walk just so between platforms nine and 10 at King's Cross Station, you might find yourself departing from platform nine and three-quarters. For some, the tingling sensation of magical lands fades after leaving childhood behind. But I still peer curiously into wardrobes, and thus here are three blazingly intelligent adult novels for the untamable Alice in all of us.

It has been suggested that individuals with attention problems find it difficult to restrict attention to a limited spatial area. We tested this conjecture within the context of visual search.
Participants were classified as having low or high levels of impulsivity. Their task was to search for a target embedded in arrow tip distractors. The arrow tips were organized such that they always pointed towards the target’s location. Participants were either informed (i.e. Knowledge-driven participants) or not informed (i.e. Image-driven participants) about the coded organization of the arrow tips. In one | condition, participants searched for the target without any hindrance to their peripheral vision (i.e. Large window condition). In another condition (i.e. Small window condition), the same participants’ peripheral visual field was blurred by a gaze-contingent procedure controlled by an eye tracker.

Conveyance without will
My wife and I have each drawn a will, but we do not have an attorney to consult. We each have rental property and savings in a savings and loan. Are there some papers we should have a bank draw up to be sure the survivor will not pay more than is necessary to the government when one of us passes? H. T.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
If your wills were not drawn by an attorney, I strongly recommend that you consult one. A hand-drawn will or holograph must be handwritten by the person drawing the will. Although your state is one of 17 in the United States to recognize holographs, there could still be problems. The expense of having an attorney draw a will is not that great, particularly with legal clinics now available.
Since you live in a community-property statE, you may be thinking of something like a community-property agreement, which turns over all property owned by a couple to the surviving spouse after the first death. With a properly drawn will, a community-property agreement is not necessary and could be a complication. Such an agreement does not replace a will, because it does not provide for contingent succession should | both persons die, such as in an accident, at the same time.
A community-property agreement does not change estate or inheritance taxes, and there is nothing the bank can do that would affect how much the survivor pays to the federal and state governments. | [

India awakens to sexist component of genocidal culture in Sri Lanka

Land and Water Care
Some of the measures needed to conserve land for agricultural purposes are:
There are currently several Central and State Government programs dealing with wasteland development, rainwater harvesting, watershed development, command area management, shallow tube well construction, social and agro-forestry and prevention of damage to hydrologic cycles in hill areas. There is an urgent need for convergence and synergy among these programs so that land and water conservation and use can be dealt with in a scientific and holistic manner. Land and water management problems (the term ‘management’ is used to denote concurrent attention to conservation, sustainable use, and equitable sharing of benefits) are multi-dimensional. So uni-dimensional approaches through numerous independent | schemes implemented by separate departments of central and state governments will only result in inefficient and ineffective use of financial and technical resources. 1.

Psst... wanna hear a secret?
As regular visitors here know, I've struggled with the constraints of writing in a semi-public forum. How to write about experiences that have confused, angered or upset me, or left me in a state of anxiety, when such stories involve people who know about the blog? People who might read and be hurt, offended, or upset? How to write about the things that keep me awake at night, things that I really yearn to work out on the page, but that I'm afraid might reveal too much about me?
A couple of months back, I had a run-in with someone that left me frustrated and angry. This someone said some things about parents of babies that infuriated me. But I couldn't write about it here. My antagonist knew about the blog, and I was afraid that writing about the incident would be hurtful. And that it might provoke a confrontation that I did not wish to have. So I wrote an Un-Rant, a rant about not being able to rant about the experience that I had had.
The Un-Rant helped a little. But not enough. (Also? Caused more problems than a plain old confrontation would have. Everyone thought that the post was about | them. Frantic phone calls and e-mails from freaked-out friends and family members wondering what they had done. Fuck. Take it from me: ambiguous rants are trouble. Avoid.)

I’ll probably have a number of posts to write about this, but I’d like to write a short one now. Saturn is in Virgo and Pluto is in Capricorn. Both are malefics, both are trine, and Pluto is in Saturn’s home. What does this mean? I think that the answer to that is unfolding currently.

I’d like to point out a few interesting astrological issues, though. (1) Saturn will move into Scorpio, which is MUCH tougher than Virgo; and (2) Saturn and Pluto will be in mutual reception.
I could stop there; | those two would be enough by themselves. But those born in the mid 1980s will be entering or about to enter their Saturn returns. A number of astrologers call this generation the “Chernobyl” or “Columbine” generation. The Challenger Space Shuttle | [

Amazingly, both groups of soup slurpers thought they had consumed the same amount of soup, and both felt equally satiated. In reality, those with self-refilling bowls had consumed 75% more, and they had no idea!*
*In a related experiment, graduate students were paid to watch the Super Bowl and eat snacks.

Violent Bus Ride
A six-minute video from a surveillance camera, showing an attack on a young white man in a Parisian bus, during the night of December 6-7, 2008, has aroused a tsunami of reactions throughout the French-language Internet. At François Desouche there were 40,000 unique visitors on April 5. So far, there are almost 2000 comments to the video at FDS alone, not to mention other sites.
The reaction was so overwhelming that censorship of the video by both Daily Motion and YouTube was easily foreseeable. FDS decided, therefore, to use a Russian version on RuTube. Click here to view the video, which has already been on line for four days. I was not able to copy the embed code, but will continue trying.
The reason for the explosion of reactions, most of them expressing outrage at what happened on the bus, is that this is a racist attack by dark-skinned individuals (whose faces are visible) on | a white man. Since the French State vigorously opposes racism "in all its forms", it remains to be seen if this crime is ever designated as a "hate" crime against a white man.
Some were shocked by the video because the faces were visible - normally this is not permitted. Hence the censorship of the video.

Most of the officers who were quartered at a town in our neighbourhood were of my husbands acquaintance.
