Generally there are two types of bake-off. Those where you invite members around to listen to your system and bring interesting music, and there are those where you want to compare specific parts of your system with other options. These latter ones can be general or specific, like I have done two turntable ones and one computer audio one (how I discovered Jason's beast which has become the TFS).
Start a thread saying town you live in and theme and take it from there.
We need to promote the above. Who wants to start the ball rolling. START A THREAD 1/ give date and time, 2/ give location (only give address to visitors), 3/ give a general idea of what you have and what you would like to try, but be open to alternatives.

2012 Interview with Maxwell Caulfield
Actor/singer Maxwell Caulfield became an instant heartthrob in 1982 when Grease 2 hit the big screen. He also created a sensation in TV's Dynasty and The Colbys and has essayed countless MOWs on TV and stage plays internationally. Without question he has turned into a fine dramatic actor over the last 30 years. Originally from Great Britain, Caulfield has been married to actress Juliet Mills since 1980. He is currently rehearsing Euripides' Helen as King Menelaus at the Getty Villa in Malibu which opens September 6. In our chat he talks about Helen, some of his recent stage roles and those he would like to play.
Are you rehearsing this morning?
Actually we're teching so we start the day quite late so that we can take advantage of the twilight hours.
That's right. You're performing in the amphitheatre in Malibu.
Yeah...fantastic venue. It's really a privilege to be there, I can tell you.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Helen there. I've never been to the Getty Villa before.
Oh, haven't you? Well, the trick is to come early, 'cause from 6 o'clock on the Villa is available to the audience members - it's actually built into the price of the ticket - the galleries are open so you can steep yourself in that ancient culture, and then settle down and watch a high camp interpretation of Helen of Troy.
Talk about this adaptation. What has been changed in the adaptation?
Director Jon Lawrence Rivera has collaborated with playwright Nick Salamone to take Euripides's tale, which is not done very often...Trojan Women is done a lot, but Helen is not...even though we're talking about centuries, millenia of years that it could have been done...and so they unearthed this ancient story and have given it a degree of a Hollywood spin ...they haven't transplanted it to Hollywood but they have given it this shift where she is a major movie star who's gone into exile. It's very funny, but to try to explain it doesn't make sense, because it's still set in the ancient world. So you go, "How does that work? Celluloid didn't exist." But, for example, her Greek chorus is comprised of Marilyn Monroe's character Cherie from Bus Stop and Vivien Leigh's Blanche du Bois from Streetcar Named Desire and Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra. Historically, you go "Wait a minute, this is completely up the spout." It's very bold, certainly not like doing Shakespeare in modern dress. You could say that's convoluted as well. Somehow, they've pulled it off. We did a workshop of it about two months ago. The Getty goes in for a real development process. Jon Lawrence Rivera is a super guy and such fun to work for. He's a very generous director who's constantly amused by what we do. He's actually a very funny performer himself. To illustrate a point sometimes he will get up and show us what we're presently doing and what he'd rather we did do. He does it in such a charming way, you can't help but fall off your chair laughing. He's so spot on. And he's encouraged us to develop these characters from the beginning and to go with our gut instincts. He's let me basically barnstorm this role, and I'm having a field day with it. I don't want to give you too many preconceived notions but you have to fill that space, and it's a very big venue.
How have they changed Menelaos ( ancient Greek spelling or Menelaus)?
Not a lot. I'm not like some big shot studio chief or anything like that. It's not like you've gotta live with all this affectation as it were, it's not like that. I am still staggering back from 10 years of siege on the Trojan shore, 7 years lost in the Mediterranean. I'm trying to find Helen. It's hard to explain, but watching it, I think the audience will be amused. This pastiche, this veneer that's been added to it, somehow it does not only give it a more contemporaneous viewpoint but it also provides a lot of humor.
Are you doing it in original dress or are the costumes contemporary?
We haven't gotten into wardrobe yet, as limited as mine is. I spend half the show walking around with a sort of a shred of a flag from my armada wrapped around my waist and not much else. I've been shipwrecked.
It's just an excuse to get you shirtless onstage, that's all!
I know, but at the same time, it is written in the script. Frankly, I'm flattered that I'm still being asked to drop trou, as it were, or whatever the expression is.
You did Cactus Flower off-Broadway last year. How was that?
I really appreciate being a part of that cast and I also appreciate the ambition of the creative team. 2011 was a hot season in New York of really great innovative work, so the competition was great. We gave it a straight ahead production and it should have been stood on its head, reinvented. We played the Westside Theatre, which is really a premiere off-Broadway house, and we gave it the college try. Each time I go back to New York, I want to do something with a bit more of a bite to it. The role was a fun part for me on paper, and I should have made it work, and to an extent I did, but it's not top of my CD.
You also did Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway a while ago, correct? Did you have fun with that?
I had a ball. I also had had a glorious 8 week run in London prior to Broadway. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my career. My two leading ladies were absolutely sensational and I got to do West End Live, which is an annual summer promo they do in Lester Square on the West End. You play to the tourists, to the people and I got a chance to sing Billy's trademark tune, so I felt like a rock star.
in New York, in Tryst a couple of years ago
Is that the first musical you've done in a while?
Yeah. I've not done enough of it. You can work and scratch out a living in the theatre, but, if you want to make money, you've got to hit the road. You've got to play big houses of 2, 3 thousand seaters with your name above the bill, do popular fare and reach out to the audience such as it is.
Do you have a dream role that you want to play?
There are several. The first one that comes to mind, in the classical world, would be to play Coreolanus,
and in the musical theatre world, Henry Higgins (My Fair Lady)...and if any major regional theatre like the CTG downtown (Michael Ritchie) does Jerusalem, it's a fantastic part, you can really fill a proscenium arch, you can really go for it. That's my style; I'm no shrinking violet on the stage (we both laugh)...That's one of the reasons I don't work in front of the camera more, not that I give outsized performances - I like to think I can make that shift between the two media, but...
Hang in there! You and Juliet (Mills) are terrific actors!
Thank you. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Geraldine Page a few years back on a couple of occasions and she was talking about her relationship with Rip Torn, which was a complex one. "Rip just wanted to bring home the log". (laughs) I couldn't agree more, as I would like to bring home the bacon more. But I'll tell you, Don, it's bizarre, our profession is fraught with uncertainty, always has been, but now it's literally nationwide. There isn't a single business where anybody feels secure. Even the postal workers...let's hope we don't make any rash decisions this November...
See Maxwell Caulfield in Helen! Performances of Euripides' Helen will be held Thursday through Saturday, September 6 through 29, 2012 at 8:00 p.m., with previews from August 30 through September 1.

with Rachel Sorsa as Helen
2012 Interview with Helen Reddy
Actress, singer, activist turned hypnotherapist Helen Reddy was named the Queen of 70s Pop. In 1973 she had three # One hit tunes, including of course "I Am Woman", which she co-wrote herself, not finding at that time a single song to record that satisfied her feminine wiles. Now living in Australia, Reddy seems relaxed, content, but still eager, like Norma Desmond, to 'return' to the biz , singing. In our chat she explains why, and talks candidly about the high ... and low points of her life.
What prompted the comeback now?
Well, I don't call it a comeback as much as a Renaissance. I retired ten years ago and went back to college and got a degree in clinical hypnotherapy at the age of 60. I went back to my native Australia and lived a very different life. Anyway, the genesis of going back to singing was my sister's 80th birthday in March. She asked if I would sing a duet with her, and I said OK...and it was so much fun, and it was so appreciated, and I thought, "I miss singing, I used to love doing this". So, that was kind of it. My sister's son, by the way, Tony Sheldon, who was in Priscilla Queen of the Desert in London and New York - we're very, very proud of him - he's just been back in Oz and visiting his mother and all his friends. He's back in New York now.
I hope he does the show when it comes here.
I don't think so. He did the show for five years and The Producers for two years before that...and he's had it with the high heels. He's beginning to appear in trousers. (we laugh)
Talk about the venues where you'll be appearing.
I'm at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on Friday, August 10 and the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills on the following night. I had chosen three nights before that, a few weekends ago. The first was at Croce's in San Diego, and not having sung in 10 years, I wanted a small cozy kind of venue to break in. The first thing I said to the audience was, "I haven't done this in 10 years. If I make a mistake, cut me some slack." They were wonderful. The following two nights we were at St. Genevieve High School in Panorama City, and I booked those three nights from Australia. Dan Horn, who was the principal of the school, is a long time friend of mine, and that was another perfect spot to sort of 'get back on the horse'.
And how do you feel? Do you feel good again?
I do. I enjoy it, while I'm doing it. It's a long wait, though, in between (engagements)...
Will you give us a little preview of what you'll be singing?
Well, it won't be the greatest hits, although I will do some of them. I wanted to sing the songs I wanted to sing. I'm not a nostalgia act. However, there are a lot of album cuts (they didn't get any airplay, but fans will be familiar with them) that I still remember and love, so I'm doing a lot of those ballads. I'm doing "I Am Woman", but in a different way. I feel much more relaxed.
Who are your favorite singers? Did any one in particular inspire you?
There are so many wonderful, wonderful singers...when I was young, Peggy Lee was definitely a very big influence on me. And then I realized I was imitating her, and that wasn't a good thing, so I started listening to more male vocalists. This was in my teens, and I also listened a lot to big bands, because there was so much music in them. I didn't have to listen vocally; I could listen to the orchestra. I don't know if that makes sense.
Yes, because the whole thing works together. The musicianship is so important because it dictates what you're doing.
You've done Broadway. Tell me about Shirley Valentine.
I didn't do that on Broadway. The only show I did on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre was Blood Brothers. I also did it on the West End of London and on tour in the UK. I've done four productions of Shirley Valentine, but regional.
How did you like doing those shows?
Totally. I mean Shirley Valentine, what a wonderful leading role! You play 14 characters just in Act I, Scene I. It is a true tour-de-force, and I loved every second of it. I'm a huge fan of Willy Russell. Blood Brothers is a different type of role from Shirley, but it's still done with a Liverpool accent, although Shirley's is a little more upmarket than Mrs. Johnson's.
Did you like performing in theatre more than on the concert stage?
It's apples and oranges. I enjoy both.
Do you keep up with musical trends and how things have changed?
Quite honestly, I've been out of the music business so long now, I really couldn't say. The only music I listen to is music that I've got, the CDs that I can play for myself. A lot of what's on the radio is unintelligible for me. But there are stations that play songs from certain eras...I'm OK with that. A lot of today's music is simply voice and drum. And the voice usually isn't singing, it's talking.
Is your favorite music from the 30s and 40s?
Well, for me, it's the 70s. But, there were some wonderful songs written in the 1930s. I'd say the 20s through the 50s, there was some wonderful music written.
When you made it in the early 70s was it overwhelming for you to accept the tremendous success?
In 1973 I had three Number One hits on the charts. I had my own TV show The Helen Reddy Show on NBC. There was a tremendous amount going on. It was also the same year my son was born, in December of 72, my mother died in July of 73, my father died in September of 73; then an aunt I was very close to, I was named for her, she virtually raised me - she died in January 74, so there was a lot of private grief going on at the same time as the success. Work is work, and I'm glad I had all the opportunities that I had, but I think living life to the full is the most important thing.
You're a hypnotherapist. What kind of work does that entail?
I practice clinical hypnotherapy in Australia, not on a regular basis, but it's something I enjoy very much. I particularly specialize in past life regressions and reuniting people with loved ones who have passed over. It's very rewarding.
You wrote a book in 2006, correct?
Yes, The Woman I Am. It's available on my website. It's a good read. I did it all myself.
Are you getting psyched about the two concerts next weekend?
Yes, I'm really looking forward to them. I'm also flying up to Oakland tomorrow (Saturday, August 4) for an AIDS benefit. I'll do "You and Me Against the World" and "I Am Woman".
What a down-to-earth woman! Helen Reddy remains a true champion and great human being! Catch her next week.

On Tuesday (1/15), the British House of Commons rejected by an overwhelming margin – 432 against, 202 for – the motion to accept the withdrawal agreement and political declaration about the future relationship that Prime Minister Theresa May's government negotiated with the European Union. Commentators seeking to characterize the defeat found themselves using words such as "historic" and "crushing." It was both of those and more – the largest margin of defeat ever inflicted on a sitting government.
118 of the 314 Conservatives eligible to vote – the speaker, deputy speakers and tellers don't vote – rejected the deal, as did all but three of the 251 Labour M.P.s, the 35 Scottish National Party M.P.s, the 11 Liberal Democrat M.P.s, the 10 Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland M.P.s, the four Plaid Cymru M.P.s, the Green M.P., and five independents. 196 Conservative M.P.s voted in favor of the deal, along with the three Labour M.P.s and three independents. The margin of defeat – 230 votes – was substantially more than well-informed observers were predicting only hours before the vote.
There were undoubtedly a number of issues that caused the 118 Conservatives to vote against the deal. But one above all stood out – the Irish "backstop," the provisions in the 173-page Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland that is part of the 585-page binding withdrawal agreement that are intended to ensure that, in all future circumstances, the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic remains, as it is today, open and frictionless.
On Dec. 10, Theresa May announced in the House that, in view of the fact that the agreement, scheduled for a vote the next day, would be defeated by a significant margin, the government was deferring the vote and would, in the meantime, seek "further reassurances" from the EU in regard to the "backstop." At the meeting of the European Council three days later, the leaders of the other 27 member states underscored the fact that the "backstop" is intended as an "insurance policy to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland" but said they were determined to work speedily on a subsequent agreement that would establish by Dec. 31, 2020, the termination date of the transition period during which the UK would remain in the EU's Single Market and Customs Union, alternative arrangements so the "backstop" would not have to be triggered. Toward that end, the EU27 said they were ready to embark on preparations for negotiation of the future relationship immediately after signature of the withdrawal agreement so the negotiation could start immediately after the UK's withdrawal. The leaders underscored the fact that, if the "backstop" was triggered, it would apply only temporarily, until it was superseded by a subsequent agreement that ensured avoidance of a hard border. And they said that if it was triggered, the EU would use its "best endeavors" to negotiate and conclude "expeditiously" a subsequent agreement to replace it.
On Dec. 17, in informing the House that the debate on the withdrawal agreement would resume in the week of Jan. 7 with the vote taking place in the following week, the prime minister said she would seek "further assurances" from the EU in regard to the "backstop." Five weeks went by without any further assurances until this past Monday, the day before the vote, when the EU and 10 Downing Street announced an exchange of letters dated Jan. 14. In their letter to the prime minister, Donald Tusk, the European Council president, and Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, made it clear they could not agree to anything that would change or would be inconsistent with the withdrawal agreement. But after reiterating what the European Council said in December, they said that its conclusions have a "legal value in the Union commensurate to the authority of the European Council under the Treaties" to define directions and priorities for the EU at the highest level and, in the specific context of withdrawal, to establish, in the form of guidelines, its framework. The Commission confirmed the EU doesn't wish to see the "backstop" enter into force and is determined to replace it by a subsequent agreement. It also confirmed the shared understanding that the withdrawal agreement and protocol don't affect or supersede the provisions of the 1998 Good Friday or Belfast Agreement, don't extend regulatory alignment with EU law in Northern Ireland beyond what is strictly necessary to avoid a hard border, and don't prevent the UK from facilitating the participation of Northern Ireland Executive representatives in the Joint Committee that would oversee the agreement and the committees and working groups that would deal with matters pertaining to Northern Ireland. The presidents also confirmed that any new act that the EU proposes adding to the protocol will require the agreement of the UK. They said that, given their joint commitment to use their "best endeavors" to conclude before the end of 2020 a subsequent agreement which supersedes the Protocol, they would give priority in their work to discussion of proposals that might replace the "backstop" with alternative arrangements, including "facilitative arrangements and technologies." And they acknowledged that the parties could, as provided in Article 132, extend the transition period to Dec. 31, 2021 or Dec. 31, 2022.
Needless to say, judging by the Tuesday's vote, those "assurances" changed no minds. Indeed, if anything, they persuaded even more Conservative M.P.s to oppose the agreement than had opposed it five weeks earlier when Theresa May had deferred the vote, if only because the EU made it clear innumerable times over those five weeks that the negotiation of the withdrawal agreement couldn't be, and wouldn't be, reopened and the "backstop" couldn't be time-limited.
The prime minister's first instinct will probably be to return to the EU and seek, yet again, "further assurances." Perhaps now that the UK has actually rejected the agreement, she'll be more successful in obtaining assurances that change the minds of enough of the M.P.s opposed to the deal to enable it to win approval. In several previous cases – after Danish voters had rejected the Treaty on European Union in 1992, after Dutch voters had rejected the Association Agreement with Ukraine in 2016, and after the parliament of the Belgian region of Wallonie had refused to approve the UK-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement in 2016 – the EU provided meaningful assurances – in the Danish case a European Council decision (not a conclusion) providing it with various opt-outs from the TEU, in the Dutch case a declaration making it clear that the Association Agreement with Ukraine didn't create a pathway to membership, in the CETA case a legally-binding Joint Interpretative Instrument setting out the parties' shared understanding about controversial provisions – that enabled each to approve the agreement.
But the magnitude of the defeat may dissuade the EU from offering any further assurances; it may conclude, given the negligible effects of the Dec. 13 conclusions of the leaders of the EU27 and the Tusk-Juncker letter, that at this point there's nothing more it can do that would transform a defeat of that magnitude into a victory. Indeed, short of reopening the negotiation and explicitly limiting the duration of the "backstop" or, alternatively, changing Article 132 to remove any limitation on the duration of the transition period so the "backstop" would never have to take effect, there probably is nothing the EU can do at this point to change enough votes to win approval of the withdrawal agreement. And given the magnitude of the defeat on Tuesday, even doing that may not be enough.
In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's vote, the prime minister announced that if Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Opposition, tabled a motion of no confidence, the government would debate it on Wednesday. Corbyn tabled the motion and on Wednesday, in a reversal of the previous evening's crushing defeat, the House rejected the motion, albeit only by a very narrow margin – 325 to 306. All 314 voting Conservative M.P.s voted against it, joined by those of the DUP and one other M.P; all of the others voted in favor. Immediately after the vote, the prime minister said she will continue to work on delivering the result preferred by voters in the 2016 referendum and, toward that end, said she would meet with party leaders and senior parliamentarians beginning Wednesday evening.
More than anything else, the magnitude of the defeat reflected the fact that Theresa May's Conservative Party doesn't command a majority in either the electorate or the parliament. It won 42 percent of the vote in the 2017 election and, notwithstanding the advantages enjoyed by the largest parties in the UK's first-past-the-post electoral system, it governs as a minority government – one that is further constrained, especially in regard to the Irish border issue, by its reliance on the DUP for support in Parliament through a "confidence and supply" arrangement. And as if it were not difficult enough for a minority government to persuade a majority in the House to support an agreement shaped by its "red lines," both the Conservative Party and the government are themselves deeply divided over the agreement.
In retrospect, it's hardly surprising that a minority government constituted by a party that is deeply divided about Brexit and that announced its "red lines" for a withdrawal agreement long before it knew what kind of future relationship it wanted and primarily in order to quell internal dissent within the party would have great difficulty in persuading a majority in the House to accept the agreement it negotiated. If there ever was a time and place when a broad cross-party coalition government was needed to ensure negotiation of an agreement that would command support across a broad spectrum of the public and by a majority in the Parliament, it was the UK after the 2016 referendum.
In her comments after the motion of no confidence was defeated, the prime minister appeared to recognize for the first time the need to speak with and work with the other parties and their leaders in deciding how to respond to the defeat of the withdrawal agreement and, specifically, how to resolve the apparent deadlock among the various options now before the government and the House – whether to go back to Brussels for more assurances, or call upon the EU to reopen the negotiation of the withdrawal agreement, or request an extension of the negotiating period beyond March 29 (something that would require unanimous agreement by the EU 27), or revoke the UK's Article 50 notification of its intention to withdraw (something the European Court of Justice ruled in December could be done), or call a second referendum to determine what the British public wants, or call a new election (something that, under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, would require either a two-thirds majority in the House or a vote of no confidence in the government and no confirmation of an alternative government within 14 days).
It's not at all clear which of these options, if any, would be supported by a majority in the House. But one thing seems clear: None of the party leaders and very few M.P.s, apart from a small number of hardline Brexiters, prefer a no-deal exit on March 29 to all of the other alternatives and, indeed, all of the other party leaders made that clear in their initial public comments and, in some cases, conversations with the prime minister Wednesday evening. Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, in declining her invitation to meet, said he wouldn't speak with her until the government rules out a no-deal exit. Ian Blackford, the leader of the Scottish National Party, called on the prime minister, as a gesture of good faith, to agree that an extension of the negotiation beyond March 29, a second referendum, and rejection of a no-deal exit will be on the table in any discussions. Sir Vince Cable of the Liberal Democrats likewise said a no-deal exit has to be taken off the table and a second referendum should be considered.
Speaking after Wednesday's motion of no confidence had been rejected, Theresa May announced that, in accord with two amendments put forward by Dominic Grieve, a pro-Remain, pro-second referendum Conservative M.P. and former Attorney General – one in early December, the other when debate on the agreement resumed on Jan. 9– and adopted over the opposition of the government, she will table an amendable motion on Monday, Jan. 21, setting out how the government proposes to proceed. Depending on what she proposes, amendments may be proposed calling upon the EU to reopen the withdrawal negotiation, calling for the Irish "backstop" to be time-limited, calling for the negotiating period to be extended beyond March 29, calling for revocation of the UK's notification of its intention to withdraw, and/or calling for a second referendum.
Hopefully, for the sake of the British and European economies, there will also be an amendment that stipulates that the UK will not leave the EU on March 29 or later without a withdrawal agreement that has been approved by Parliament. Meanwhile, the Article 50 clock is ticking, and time is running out.

Glad to be weirdly close.
I've never understood why "depressing" is routinely thrown around as a criticism for films that deal with loneliness and despair. To me, a depressing movie is something like Confessions of a Shopaholic, Fool's Gold or anything else that cynically sidesteps any real connection to human experience under the guise of escapism. When a filmmaker takes an honest look at our anxieties, weaknesses and particularly our mortality, it's like a spiritual palate cleanser - I leave the theater feeling refreshed and upbeat. Charlie Kaufman has never shied away from downbeat material; his protagonists are frequently caught in existential crises they haven't necessarily defeated by the end credits, and the humor in his films springs from heartache, insecurity and self-loathing. The darker aspects of Kaufman's screenplays have previously been offset by the more playful sensibilities of directors Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry, so Synecdoche, New York is perhaps the purest realization of his unsparing yet humane vision. There's no question that Kaufman's maddeningly dense directorial debut is an extremely daunting experience and, particuarly for artists and creative types, one that cuts to the bone. A film about the ways that art allows us to create meaning in a world that often seems meaningless, Synecdoche, New York levelled me, and yet few films have left me feeling so fearfully alive.
Since Kaufman's protagonist, Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is a theater director, it's tempting to read Synecdoche, New York as autobiographical (to be fair, casting oneself as the lead in a previous screenplay sort of invites this reading). But Kaufman's protagonists are almost always artists, and as a story of the creative process, the film is more personal than self-referential; as with Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, the biggest conflict here is the divide between what we aspire to create and our own frailties. When we meet Caden, his marriage to painter Adele Lack (Catherine Keener) is failing and he's suffering through a series of mysterious ailments that, among other things, deprive him of the ability to salivate or cry. The early scenes of Caden directing a regional production of Death of a Salesman tell us how to read the rest of the film; "Everyone is disappointing the more you know someone," Adele tells Caden, and Caden's directions to his actors double as Kaufman's suggestion that drama is an attempt to understand these disappointments and, perhaps, to find something sublime in our imperfect lives. A scene where Caden reminds a room of actors that someday they'll all be dead should ring true for any director, whose job it is to sometimes make everyone around him feel completely terrible (and what does this say about anyone who would want this job?).
Adele's paintings are extremely small-scale, while Caden, who is awarded a MacArthur genius grant and uses the money to stage an experimental theatre piece inside an enormous warehouse, finds his own work becoming more and more elephantine. As the play expands over the years to encompass everyone in Caden's life and, eventually, a Caden double named Sammy Barnathan (Tom Noonan) who has been observing Caden for years, the film also grows beyond the dramas of Caden's life - his second marriage to narcissistic actress Claire (Michelle Williams), his search for his estranged daughter Olive (Sadie Goldstein as a kid, Robin Weigert as an adult) and his bittersweet friendship with his soulmate Hazel (Samantha Morton), who lives in a house that is always on fire - to encompass our collective drama, even hinting at the dystopian future we fear awaits us around the corner. Synecdoche, New York began with a studio exec's suggestion that Kaufman try writing a horror movie, and it often plays like a realization of our worst nightmares; this may be why many critics and audience members have rejected it as completely unpalatable (the multiple shots of characters examining their own shit probably didn't help either). But the film's dourness is offset by two things. First, it's extremely subjective, taking as its POV a struggling artist, a particularly difficult breed of human being (my wife is a saint). While I've encountered artists like Adele who choose to only experience the enjoyable aspects of life, I've never really understood how they pull that off (Olive's fate suggests that this is unadvisable, in any case). Second, if cinema is a collective art form, than the catharsis in the face of misery I described in my opening can be a powerful shared experience - though it's Hoffman's character in Doubt who preaches that doubt can be a powerful bond, it's Kaufman's film that realizes that concept more fully than the other, heavy-handed and stage-bound film can begin to. Besides, Synecdoche, New York is hardly two hours of suffering - it's too funny and compassionate, too self-deprecating in its unhappiness (note the multiple scenes where Caden cries during sex), too recognizably human to dismiss.
Kaufman is met in his outsized ambitions by Hoffman (never better) and the murderer's row of actresses playing the women who make up Caden's universe (why is it that movies about directing are always also about fucking?). I pretty much fell in love with Morton's Hazel, who is always at Caden's side but rarely says what she's really feeling, and the casting of Emily Watson as Morton's double is as delightful a metatextual high-wire act as the double team of Noonan and Diane Wiest as Caden's masculine and feminine selves. They and the rest of the cast admirably rise to the occassion of pulling off the emotional and conceptual obstacles Kaufman has constructed for them - as a FFC commenter pointed out, only Kaufman could construct a heartbreaking scene around the line "I'm sorry for abandoning you to have anal sex with my homosexual lover, Eric." Director of photography Frederick Elmes and production designer Mark Friedburg also deserve a great deal of credit for creating the flat, slightly dated world of the film, which grows more and more surreal as it progresses. And Jon Brion's score is a masterpiece of sustained anxiety - all of these elements together result in a film that is mostly about the anticipation of terrible or wonderful or important moments that, when they arrive, are over before we've realized it. Which would seem psychotic if it weren't generally true.
I have been waiting to read your review on this film. I saw it a few weeks ago at Cabot Cinema in Beverly and I have been dwelling on it ever since. Based on your recommendation I went out of my way to see it. I never really understood the meaning of the phrase "blew my mind" before. I can't wait to see you and talk about this. I think this movie really gets to the heart of the personal nature of art and how trying to connect the dots in our lives is pointless if we don't admit our true feelings. It has been something like three weeks and I still can't organized my thoughts. I need to see it again.
"I think this movie really gets to the heart of the personal nature of art and how trying to connect the dots in our lives is pointless if we don't admit our true feelings."
Yes, exactly! Oddly enough, Jess and I just watched Fur this weekend per your recommendation, and I enjoyed it a great deal more than I expected. We'll have to talk about that one as well.

The European Medical Writers Association (EMWA):
A Affirms that medical writers have a legitimate role in assisting named authors in developing manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and material for presentation at peer-reviewed scientific meetings.
B Believes that such contributions and relevant information about funding should be openly acknowledged.
C Discourages use of the term 'ghostwriter' to describe professional medical writers, as this term implies that there is something secretive about the involvement of the writer. Rather, the involvement of professional medical writers should always be transparent.
D Believes that properly trained medical writers can make a positive contribution to manuscript preparation. Such writers bring expertise about the require ments of journals and congresses and the ethics and conventions of peer-reviewed biomedical publications. They also offer skills in language, scientific communic ation, and data presentation. Such skills and knowledge enable professional writers to prepare drafts that are clearly written and follow the relevant guidelines. Involving medical writers may therefore raise the standard of publications and accelerate the writing and publication process.
E Encourages medical writers to ensure that publications are developed in a responsible and ethical manner, as specified in the guidelines that accompany this position statement; in practice this means:
• keeping up-to-date with relevant guidelines (e.g. CONSORT, ICMJE, GPP) and journal or conference requirements for financial disclosures or statements about competing interests
• advising colleagues and customers about these guidelines and/or conventions on responsible publication or authorship and alerting them if they are not being followed
• involving the named author(s) early in the publication process
• refusing requests to develop publications without sufficient involvement of the named author(s)
• making their best efforts to ensure that publications are accurate, balanced, and scientifically valid, acknowledging the limitations of their expertise and seeking guidance where needed
• taking particular care to present results relating to the sponsor's product in a fair and balanced fashion
• endeavouring to ensure that the named author(s) has access to the necessary data and adequate time to contribute to a publication
• endeavouring to ensure that all named authors approve the final version before submission to a journal or conference
• refusing requests to develop publications in an unethical or irresponsible manner
EMWA's position on ghostwriting - October 2012
The European Medical Writers Association would like to make it clear that, contrary to what you may have read in a recently published popular science book, it is not a "ghostwriters' association". EMWA is an association for professional medical writers, and deplores ghostwriting. We have published guidelines for the role of medical writers in publications, which make it clear that ghostwriting is unacceptable [1].
EMWA notes the important distinction between ghostwriting, which is unethical, and professional medical writing assistance, which is legitimate and desirable [2]. Ghostwriting is what happens when someone writes a paper for publication in the medical literature, and neither the identity of the writer nor the funding source of the writing is disclosed to the reader. In contrast, EMWA guidelines state that the contribution of medical writers and their funding source should be made explicit. A medical writer who does not fulfil a journal's authorship criteria, and is therefore not eligible to be listed as an author, must be listed in an acknowledgements section to avoid ghostwriting.
Research evidence shows that the involvement of professional medical writers in publications is associated with fewer retractions for misconduct [3] and better compliance with reporting guidelines [4].
EMWA is committed to continuing efforts towards the eradication of ghostwriting in the medical literature. Anyone who has any constructive suggestions for how EMWA could more effectively achieve this aim is welcome to contact us.

Is herd immunity possible? New Covid vairants could be a problem

Comments Off on Is herd immunity possible? New Covid vairants could be a problem

When the coronavirus pandemic started to sweep around the world in 2020, a number of governments and health authorities appeared to pin their hopes on "herd immunity."
This approach would see the virus spread though society and cause infections, but also provoke an immune response in those who have recovered.
If enough people gained these antibodies — say, around 60-70% of the population — then the transmission of the virus would gradually decrease, and those who had not yet been infected would be protected by the increasingly small opportunity the virus had to spread.
That was the theory.
In reality, Covid-19 swept through the Asia, Europe and the Americas prompting millions of infections — from which millions of people recovered — but also hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and deaths. To date globally, the virus has caused over 164 million infections and 3.4 million deaths.
The strategy of targeting herd immunity was quickly abandoned by most countries — with some notable exceptions such as Sweden — and lockdowns became the primary way of trying to prevent the spread of Covid as vaccines were rapidly developed.
Now we have highly effective vaccines and immunization programs are continuing apace across the world. This has sparked hope that once enough people in populations have been vaccinated, herd immunity could be achieved — that is, once enough people are vaccinated, the virus will have nowhere to go and will die out.
But yet again, Covid-19 is proving to be unpredictable, and we still don't know how long protection from vaccines, or natural immunity acquired by previous infection, lasts.
Vaccine hesitancy, the role of children in transmission (young children are not eligible for vaccines) and, most importantly, the emergence of new Covid variants around the world are also unknowns that could also prevent herd immunity, experts warn.
Most of them believe Covid-19 will become endemic like the flu (meaning it will continue to circulate in parts of the population, likely as a seasonal threat) while hoping it will become less dangerous over time.
'Nowhere near herd immunity'
Epidemiologist Lauren Ancel Meyers, director of the University of Texas Covid-19 Modeling Consortium, described herd immunity as "the idea that if we vaccinate enough people around the globe, the virus will have nowhere to spread, and the pandemic will completely fade out."
"Unfortunately, we are very far from that reality on a global scale," she told CNBC.
"The virus continues to spread rapidly on many continents, more contagious variants that can possibly break through immunity are continually emerging, and many countries lag far behind the U.S. in rolling out vaccines."
She noted that even in U.S. cities there are critical pockets of low immunity: "Where I live in Austin, Texas, we estimate that vaccination coverage ranges from under 40% to over 80% depending on which neighborhood you live in. Everywhere, children under age 12 cannot yet get vaccinated. As long as there are pockets of low immunity, this stealthy virus will continue to spread and produce new variants."
Nonetheless, Meyers noted that even if we don't achieve full herd immunity, "vaccines may help us get to a place where Covid-19 is a significantly less lethal threat."
There has been a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about the herd immunity threshold, according to Meyers. "Simply speaking, the herd immunity threshold is the fraction of the population that must be immunized before the virus will fade away. But in the real world, it's complicated."
"With emerging variants and pockets of low vaccination coverage, there is no guarantee we'll get there," she said, noting that it's important people realize: "The more people vaccinate, the faster the threat will fade."
"We may never hit herd immunity on a global stage and fully eradicate the virus. But that doesn't mean we won't get back to a sense of normalcy soon. We are already seeing the numbers of new cases and hospitalizations beginning to decline," Meyers added.
'Challenging' strategy
After a year, the coronavirus has undergone some significant mutations and a number of variants have become dominant due to their increased transmissibility — such as those first detected in the U.K. and South Africa last year.
Now a variant first detected in India in October 2020 is rampaging through the country and beyond. As with previous mutations, experts are investigating whether it is more transmissible (early evidence suggests so), more deadly (early evidence suggests not) and could render Covid vaccines less effective (early evidence suggests not).
Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at the University of Warwick's Medical School in the U.K., told CNBC that the pursuit of herd immunity was likely unachievable when it comes to Covid-19.
"Pursuing herd immunity in terms of allowing people to be infected and then recover is not great because obviously with Sars-Cov-2 people are getting sick — but also, the issue is what is the herd immunity threshold and what proportion of the population would you need to be protected? And that so much depends on the transmissibility of the virus," Young noted.
"We're dealing with variants that have different abilities to spread and I think that's what makes achieving herd immunity, or indeed relying on herd immunity, quite challenging."
He stressed that there were still lots of "unknowns" about Covid-19.
"And I think trying to get herd immunity through vaccination is going to be impossible. Variants and the fact that you don't necessarily get immune protection for life once you're vaccinated makes it more difficult," Young said.
Asked whether there's a possibility that the coronavirus could be eradicated, Young said: "it's not going to happen."
"We're going to have to live with it, like flu, and we just need to get as many people vaccinated in order to stop them getting sick."

Hi I'm looking for a hardware firewall with a built in wireless router. I do alot of online gaming and P2P (bittorrent) So I need somthing that wont run out of memory and start dropping connections when the firewall features are turned on.
As a bonus feature I'd love to be able to prioritise usage over the network so that web surfers have greater priority to bandwidth over Online gaming and online gaming will have priority over bittorrent. This was I can leave my bittorrent client always on with affecting other users usage.
Below is a recent thread that has some member recommendations.
For P2P,this is the only one that works apart from bridging router and using software firewall.


2May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.
5Now I desire to remind you, though you are fully informed, that the Lord, who once for all saved1.5 Other ancient authorities read though you were once for all fully informed, that Jesus (or Joshua) who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who did not believe. 6And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgement of the great day. 7Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust,1.7 Gk went after other flesh serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8Yet in the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones.1.8 Or angels; Gk glories 9But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slander1.9 Or condemnation for blasphemy against him, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!' 10But these people slander whatever they do not understand, and they are destroyed by those things that, like irrational animals, they know by instinct. 11Woe to them! For they go the way of Cain, and abandon themselves to Balaam's error for the sake of gain, and perish in Korah's rebellion. 12These are blemishes1.12 Or reefs on your love-feasts, while they feast with you without fear, feeding themselves.1.12 Or without fear. They are shepherds who care only for themselves They are waterless clouds carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted; 13wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved for ever.
14It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, 'See, the Lord is coming1.14 Gk came with tens of thousands of his holy ones, 15to execute judgement on all, and to convict everyone of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.' 16These are grumblers and malcontents; they indulge their own lusts; they are bombastic in speech, flattering people to their own advantage.
24Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of his glory with rejoicing, 25to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.

The state of Rajasthan has a long history of Rajputs and their patronage including land acquisitions, battles, few sprawling palaces and rich mansions reflecting the true beauty of their unique and colorful culture. An onlooker would describe the state as a carved marble dream. The parched desert topography with colorful life stays in perfect harmony. Each region or city of Rajasthan has some specialization to offer either in the form of bangles or miniature paintings and so on. Pushkar region is well reckoned for its camel fairs and Jaipur for its exquisite palaces. Chittorgarh is renowned for its forts expressing its ancient history and again Shekhawati region is famous for its exquisite Frescoes.
Rajasthani Art is highly appreciated by everyone across the globe and held in high esteem. Whether it is ivory carvings, miniature paintings or the frescoes, it enlightens you about the high level of artistic sense that the craftsmen of the state had mastered in. The art of Frescoes is rampant in the Rajasthan state and has been there from a very long time.There are grand palaces or havelis that are standing with their head held high in the region of Shekhawati. These marvelously painted monuments showcase the most intricate patterns of frescoes interiors, pillars, rooms and halls. For diverse shades and vibrant color combinations, the rajasthani craftsmen utilized vegetable dyes. Floral motifs and arabesque poses are considered to be the usual themes for such type of indian art style.
Lively colors are the best and the appealing characteristics of these Frescoes. Nawalgarh is another region situated close to the Shekhawati area, which is also famous for its numerous painted havelis. Anandilal Poddar Haveli was constructed in the year 1920 and has a remarkable collection of Fresco paintings. This unique collection of paintings has been well preserved and maintained in several museums of Rajasthan state. The state government upholds the culture and tradition of Rajasthan in the form of diverse art, craft, paintings and other handiworks of the state.

He faces aggravated assault charges from a shooting reported Jan. 8 and now a beating reported on Thursday.
The sheriff said deputies went to Giglio's home on Herman Ladner Road on Thursday after being told shots had been fired in a domestic dispute.
When deputies arrived, they learned Giglio had fired some shots that didn't strike anyone, and he had used an unknown type of object to beat a man, Peterson said.
The victim's wounds were not life-threatening, he said.
A judge set Giglio's bond on the new charge at $200,000. If he is not indicted on the first charge or is found not guilty, he could post bail on the $200,000 bond pending trial on the second charge.
The first assault occurred Jan. 8 at a Dollar General on Mississippi 53.
The victim told deputies a man standing outside the store started yelling at him and fired shots at him as he drove off.
Bullets pierced the victim's pickup truck but the victim was not wounded, officials said.
Deputies obtained a warrant and arrested Giglio in a traffic stop on Jan. 19. They also arrested him on a misdemeanor theft charge. Giglio spent about two months in jail. A judge sent his case to a grand jury and he was released from jail Feb. 7.
He was booked at the Harrison County jail on the second charge early Friday morning.


Kylie Jenner took to Instagram over the weekend to seemingly respond to news breaking that she's pregnant -- and she did it in the most sly way possible.
Jenner, 20, celebrated her best friend Jordyn Woods' birthday on Friday at the Malibu Wine Safari, the same day that reports surfaced that she was expecting her first child with her rapper boyfriend, Travis Scott. Instead of publicly confirming -- or denying -- the countless reports, Jenner simply shared a photo of herself slightly lifting up her shirt to reveal part of her flat stomach.
The star is reportedly four months pregnant, and she definitely isn't showing yet. Though she's clad in a baggy black tee and loose-fitting red sweatpants, it's still pretty clear that Jenner doesn't have a visible baby bump.
In another shot from the weekend, the "Life of Kylie" star is seen posing with her girlfriends in a short silk robe that isn't as loose-fitting, but she still doesn't seem to be showing.
Jenner, who only started dating Scott in April, was also seen supporting him on Saturday in Las Vegas, where she was photographed wearing an outfit similar to the one she wore on Friday: Sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. See more on that outing in the video above.
SEE ALSO: Kylie Jenner couldn't wait to have kids 'someday' in 2013 -- watch!
Nobody in Kylie's family has confirmed or denied the rumors. At a show at Milan Fashion Week over the weekend, though, her mother, Kris Jenner, was asked about the newly-surfaced reports that her youngest child was pregnant, and Jenner remained coy about the topic.
"It wouldn't be the family if something didn't happen every single day," she said.

More information about Austria
A landlocked, Central European country, the Republic of Austria inspires images of rolling hills, charming countryside villages, Alpine lodges and snow-capped mountains and, outside of the cities, the country certainly lives up to these expectations. Bordered by Italy, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Lichenstein, the nation of Austria is a federation composed of nine states, each with their own distinctive identity.
This German-speaking country has played a huge role in European history and is a popular destination due to the many historic places of interest to visit whilst taking a tour of Austria. The capital city of Vienna has a plethora of cultural attractions to suit all visitors and is world-renowned for its talented luminaries such as Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud, the latter of which has given it the nickname of the 'City of Dreams'. Other major cities to visit on a holiday to Austria include Salzburg, Linz and Graz, although outside of the urban centers are the country's most impressive assets; it's pristine countryside, glistening lakes and perfect alpine peaks that make it the ideal choice for hiking, skiing and outdoors holidays.
As well as it's winter sports and 'chocolate-box' villages, Austria is known for having one of the highest standards of living in the world, something its people are very proud of. It's fascinating history as the 'Eastern Realm' or 'Osterreich' as it is called in German, it's beautiful countryside and culturally rich cities make a trip to Austria an unforgettable experience.
History of Austria
Austria's prominence in 20th-century European history is well-known, and something many travelers are keen to learn more about, but the country has an even longer history that is also worth discovering. Once part of the Roman Empire, Austria became the heartland of the famous Habsburg Monarchy from the 16th-century onwards, with the mighty Archduchy of Austria playing an important role as an administrative center of the Holy Roman Empire.
Following the Napoleonic Wars, Austria founded it's own powerful empire, soon earning itself the reputation as a major world power and a leader of the German Confederation. After the Austro-Prussian War or Seven Weeks War in 1866, between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was founded. The 20th-century saw the devastation of two world wars, of which Austria was involved in both; as part of the Central Powers in World War I and as a Nazi annexed territory in World War II.
A package holiday to Austria is incomplete without contemplating the impact of this dark period in the country's history. Following World War II, Austria distanced itself from its German neighbor and declared constitutional 'perpetual neutrality', avoiding Soviet occupation. Today, Austria is part of the European Union and the Eurozone and is an ever-increasingly popular tourism destination for its rich cultural heritage and history.
Nature in Austria
A holiday to Austria will no doubt focus on soaking up the pristine natural environment that the country is so well known for. It's cool temperate climate, with warm summers and cold winters, ensures a beautifully verdant countryside, snow-topped Alpine peaks, rolling hills and lush lowlands. The Alps are the most prominent icon of Austria's natural attractions and the mountains ranges of the Central Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps can all be found within the country's territory, making it an amazing destination for hiking, climbing and skiing.
Nature is never far away in Austria, and apart from its major cities, most of the country has retained its rural charms. A tour of Austria is incomplete without visiting some of it's most impressive natural sanctuaries. The best-known is Zel am See, a region not far from Salzburg, home to outstanding natural beauty. It is a popular skiing destination in the winter and boasts the glistening Lake Zell, which springs to life in the summer months and is known for its clear waters, clean enough to drink! One of the country's favorite lakes is Lake Worthersee, considered the best lake for swimming and bathing in the country thanks to its year-round warm waters, that average between 21-23 degrees Celsius.
A holiday to Austria is incomplete without joining the tens of thousands of swimmers that enjoy the waters of Worthersee every summer. Another unmissable destination where you can enjoy a slice of Austria's natural beauty is the Donau-Aven National Park, an abundant wetland on the Danube River and a major bird-watching habitat. Throughout the country, the rolling hills, forests and mountains play host to a rich tapestry of flora and fauna, with wildlife ranging from deers to rabbits, pheasants, foxes, eagles and groundhogs. Any lover of the great outdoors will feel at home in Austria.
Culture in Austria
Austria has always been considered a diverse country, owing to its landlocked nature as it is closely connected with its European neighbors. There are large communities of Slovenian, Hungarian and Italian inhabitants due to this close proximity, which affords the country a rich culture and brilliant diversity. Although German is the official language, upper German dialects are the most widely spoken languages and each of the nine federal states possesses their own unique cultural traits. Generally, Austrian's are proud of the natural beauty of their country and there is a big focus on the great outdoors and the environment alongside a desire to maintain the high standard of living which the country's inhabitants enjoy.
The majority of the population identify as Roman Catholic and there is a big emphasis on the importance of education, with free higher education widely available. Many travelers choose a package tour to Austria to delve into its rich musical heritage, as legends such as Mozart, Strauss and Schubert, among others, hailed from this long-time center of musical innovation.
A trip to Vienna is incomplete without a visit to the world-famous Vienna State Opera. Other people of note who have called Austria their home include the artist, Gustav Klimt, the philosopher Karl Popper and the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. A walk through Vienna's MuseumsQuartier will open your eyes to the country's impressive cultural tapestry.
A true European treasure, a holiday to Austria is sure to amaze you with its pristine landscapes, sophisticated cities and plentiful leisure opportunities, ranging from skiing in the Alps to listening to classical masterpieces at the Vienna State Opera. Fall in love with the grandeur of its architecture and the perfection of its rolling hills on a package tour of Austria.

Web Hosting Servers Seized by the FBI
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently seized several web hosting servers from a data center resulting in a large number of servers to go down or be transferred to another site. The agents confiscated three racks of servers from a data center facility in Maryland which is operated by DigitalOne, a provider headquartered in Switzerland.
Seized Servers
On the seized servers was the DigitalOne homepage, popular real estate blog Cubed and restaurant blog Eater in addition to many other smaller sites. These were all affected by the outage and are currently inaccessible. Another popular bookmarking site, Pinboard, was also affected but managed to transfer several pages to the backup sever and is still available.
RELATED: 34SP Makes Improvements to Customer Support System
Statement from Pinboard
Pinboard released a status update stating that their web hosting provider was raided by the FBI who seized several racks and other equipment. The company was unsure as to whether their server was confiscated or whether the equipment had just gone down. Pinboard further noted that they were running on a backup server with limited capabilities but all bookmarks remained in tact.
FBI's Contact with DigitalOne
A representative from DigitalOne noted too many online sources that the FBI was interested in perusing the files of one specific client. DigitalOne is not happy that the bureau seized the servers of many clients. Instead they should have pinpointed the specific client and confiscated that server.
RELATED: Is India Becoming the Next IT Giant?
The CEO of DigitalOne provided the FBI with all necessary details as to how to find servers in their data center linked to the specific IP address they were tracking. Unfortunately, the agents also confiscated many other unrelated pieces of equipment. The identity of the actual DigitalOne target has not yet been released to the media.
Response from DigitalOne Representatives
DigitalOne believes the FBI's work was extremely unprofessional and has resulted in the company being unable to restart many of their own servers hence the reason their website is down and the customer support is unavailable. Apparently the bureau was hot on the trail of LulzSec, an international hacking group that was said to be hosted by DigitalOne. Shortly after the equipment was seized, one man was taken into custody in Essex, United Kingdom.

LulzSec Information
Emerging in early May 2011, the group instituted a rampage of network intrusions and DDoS attacks on corporate and governmental targets such as the CIA and Serious Organized Crime Agency. The Twitter account, LulzSec, noted that the arrested party was only mildly associated with the group, at best.
