Hugh Laurie Gossip
Hugh Laurie gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Emma gets a star
If you don't love Emma Thompson, we're not only fighting, we are fighting to the death. Emma Thompson received her star today on the Walk of Fame. Maggie Gyllenhaal, her co-star in Nanny McPhee and her old schoolmate Hugh Laurie were on hand to celebrate with her. Look at her. She is game for every occasion. Full Story
Sexy House
Ok now I get it. See I don't watch House. As such, I've no appreciation of the hotness of his character and by extension, the hotness of the actor who has so brilliantly created him. Having seen Hugh Laurie take the piss at awards shows however, his sense of humour is already well known. Full Story
Hugh Laurie
Arguments for:- top show on television…popularity talks- bucks convention, is true to himself, and because of it, extremely popular - great sense of humour, wicked award show moments- sexy accent and hidden on his hit show- married, devoted, no scandal- multiple awards: chicks love winners Arguments against:- he's a tv actor, see Patrick Dempsey- bucks convention, is true to himself, and because of it, refuses to kiss minivan and media ass- the accent…he's not American. Full Story
My Borat Attacked!
Some loser didn't get the joke, assaulted my lover in NYC who apparently had to be rescued by Hugh Laurie, poor thing. Consolation? Another Kazakh domination at the box office – 2% increase over last week after opening in more theatres, a nice exclamation mark on the Republican losses of last week, non? The MiniVan Majority is reeling, y'all. Full Story

i was going to say exactly along the lines of JaytheFordman
the Capri started off from ''humble'' beginnings from an 11.5-sec daily 302W to a 10.5 302W to what it is today. it had done over 1500 passes with the 302W combo's i think he got a little bored and decided for something a little more fun. one day u might get bored and throw some hairdryers on yours. with a build 100hp or 5000hp we are all after the same thing in the end, to enjoy the car.

The nice thing about a Ghillie suit is that you can grab whatever's there in the woods and stick it on and it just stays. I just cut a few branches and stick them in.
BTW: I'm not knocking Ghillie suits per se. I love mine. For turkey and coyote and even bow season for deer it can't be beat. I just had a problem working in hunter orange for the firearm seasons.
My other problem is that I usually start Opening Day up 15' in a treestand behind a camo blind. By the end of that weekend my freezer is full. All the fancy tricks I might pull out in the last week end up going for naught.
Heck, I've even got stands I haven't been in 5 years, but I keep leaving them up, because I keep thinking I might get shut out at one of my primary stands.
It all goes back to my original post: Top Improvement ==> Find a spot that actually has deer on it.

Any preferred strap lock systems that can use the existing button screw on a new PRS?
Any preferred strap lock systems that can use the existing button screw on a new PRS?
I have Schaller Straplocks on all of my guitars which includes four SE models (one is my sons)
I plan on buying another set soon for my 408 when it gets here.
And I never use the Schaller screws, I just reuse the ones that came on the guitar.
Straplocks, cheap insurance for your pride and joy.
Schallers hare, as well...
I use Dunlops. I do find that most of the time i have to shim the screw holes because the native PRS fastener has a larger diameter.
(DC 245 Ted / DGT / 513 / Santana / McShootout / DGT STD / SAS / Cu22 Semi hollow / Sig LTD / Mira korina / HBII / P22 /SE Angelus Custom) >> {C, H, Dallas, Original Sewell}
Dimarzio Cliplock.
Yeah, if you are gonna go with different buttons, Schaller are pretty much the standard...
Schallers, with a few StewMac buttons to avoid buying full sets.
"What do we want?" "Time machines!!!" "When do we want them?" "That's irrelevant!"
Went with the Schallers. The guitar feels safe now, but they rattle. Any tricks to get rid of the rattle? I'm thinking of lining the cup with a soft tape.
I highly recommend Lock-It Straps. They're very well made and as sturdy as any metal strap lock I've used (Schaller or Dunlop). In some cases, moreso. And they don't require that you alter the guitar. Especially nice for acoustics with endpin jacks. I have these on each of my PRSi and I have never had any problems. Granted, I'm not swinging the guitar around by the strap, but I wouldn't trust a metal straplock to do that, either.
Not sure on the Schallers, but love the LOXX, for anyone else who's looking.
I've yet to have any guitar strap come loose, ever, and I've been playing since 1967.
With a thick leather strap, I have a hard time getting the strap on and off a PRS even when I want to! I'm more than fine with stock.
After having straps pop off a couple of guitars... luckily I CAUGHT them - Schaller's are usually the first mod I do.
Went right on the P22 - even used the PRS stock screws.

A headphone amp and USB digital-to-analog converter for just $99 each
Schiit Audio's very first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, left me shaken and stirred back in 2010. It sold for $249, looked and sounded amazing, and to top things off, it was made in the U.S. -- not just assembled here. Most of the Asgard's parts are sourced from U.S. companies.
The Asgard is still in company's product line, and it's still $249. But Schiit has grown since then, and now offers a full line of more expensive headphone amps and USB digital-to-analog converters (DACs) -- which is great. But the company's most recent offerings sell for just $99 each! The Magni headphone amp and the Modi DAC are also made in America, and they sound spectacular. … Read more

The arm on Kermit's side (who is male) looks to be a male's arm, and the arm on Miss Piggy's side (who is female) looks to be a female's arm. Anatomically human males tend to have bigger arms and hands than females. Hilarious. -

Boy, I am truly a Final Fantasy fan, but 30 frames per second seems a little lame. The, "you need a gameboy advance, and a link cable to play multiplayer." Also seems lame. Give me some multiplay-no-accessory-rpg game. However, it is good that a link cable may be realiced with the game.
Another thought, no experiance? What the hell is that about. You don't make an rpg and cut the whole experiance part from it. Sure, new weapons, armor, and items do help you improve. But, leveling up your character has been one of the greatest facets to the rpg games.
I truly hope this game is not a flop, but I'm seeing a few major problems with it already.
It's an RPG. More than 30 fps is overkill, besides, humans can't see but only a tiny difference between 30 and 60 fps anyways. All movies and films speeds are at 27 fps and no one cries about that.
Alright, I see your point Viper.
But, the other problems still seem to be a bit of a flop.
I agree with the lack of experience points being a drawback, but hopefully they will have a new system to counter that. I don't think it will flop in terms of it being a quality game but it may not live up to the hype that the original series has.
No, I didn't intend to state that the game would be a flop. I just don't see it being a big hit. That's all. It's the first square game on a nintendo console in a long time, and I just want more.
What do ya'll mean by frames? Is it good to have more or less? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Also known as #1GameFan at the Electronic Gaming 'Monthly Forums.
More is better. Think of it as a flip book. Each page is a frame. The more frames you flip in a second the smoother the animations look. So, you want more frames a second, and you want to maintain the frame rate during the whole game without any lag.
Each frame is the game being drawn on the screen. At 30 fps, the system draws those polygons, textures and shaders 30 times in one second. At 27 fps, the human can no longer see the frames. It's
still difficult to see them even at 15 fps but the game speed will slow down in half. This is called slowdown or lag. At higher fps, the games animation looks smoother overall. 60fps is accepted now as a standard for most action paced games.
The link cable is bundled with the game. The multiplayer is an addition to those with Game Boys - just as online play for xbox games is an addition for those with XBox Live.
This isn't a strict RPG. It's an action-RPG as far as I'm aware. Does Zelda have experience points?
As for 30 fps - Wind Waker runs at 30 - it seems smooth enough to me. Halo runs at 30 fps - that's a smooth game as well. There's nothing wrong with 30 fps - in fact, unless you've just played Metroid Prime or something, you won't even notice it.
So I bet that racing games have alot of frames because the have to look smooth right. Well, that goes for any game.
Also known as #1GameFan at the Electronic Gaming 'Monthly Forums.
Well Crystal Chronicles only seems more different from any other Square game (I would say Square RPG, but it's the same thing). The frame rate is indiscernable really. I can't tell the difference with SMS at 30 FPS or MP at 60. Well it is more like Zelda, plus this way players can't simply camp around and build up exp when they get stuck, something notorious with standard formula RPGs.
As I recall, TV runs at 24 frames per second not 27. Anyway how many frames isn't important as long as it's smooth.
Fear the power of the Fire Emblem! WHAT!? You fools don't know what's Fire Emblem? And you call yourselfs Nintendo Gamers!? Go here http://www.angelfire.com/games4/fesealsword/
and here http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/firemblem/index.htm
and study everything that's there. I shake a booty Mr. There's gonna be a test next Friday!
Yet, camping out to level your character up was fun. It gave you a sense of, my character is stronger than any of my friends. Many of my friends play rpg's and it's always fun to see which character has the highest level ect.Originally posted by Epona

The human eye can tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps, but 30 fps is still very playable. If I read correctly, the human eye can see up to 200 fps.
Trust me, I've gone from playing the Xbox version of Medal of Honor: Frontline to the PS2 version, and the drop in framerate is VERY apparent.
Frame rates in video games are intepreted differently by our eyes...
24 fps for TV can seem perfect, but try playing a game at 24 fps... it looks choppy as hell. When ever i benchmark my PC, there is one test where the fps drops to 28.... and it looks horrible... the truck is sliding across the gravel, rocks are flying up in the air, things are shooting at it, and it's all slow... not extremely slow, but you can notice.
You don't need even 30 for an RPG. It's not like the characters are going to the skateboarding or driving go-karts.
Having to have a GBA and a connector to play multiplayer sucks so much.

| Posted by David S. | (Reserve, NM)The black plate looks great on my wife's 2011 Dodge Durango. We framed it with a chrome frame that really sets it off, and matches prefect with the rest of the front end. Good job! The stainless Ram logo was crooked on the black plate when it arrived, so we had to straighten it and reattach it with molding glue. So far it's still holding, and no further problems.

In 2010, I collected $2,500 to be donated in Aldis' name to the LA Mission as a Christmas gift from his fans. The money was raised with an auction that December of TV/Movie memoribilia and music connected to Aldis through his associations on TV shows or from his fans. The LA Mission feeds the homeless on Skid Row. For $2.03, they can provide a hot meal to someone. So our donation in 2010 fed 1231 meals to LA's homeless.
In early 2012, I did another auction and raised $3,000. Our donation fed 1,477 meals to LA's homeless.

SMS: Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves
After more than two years of baking with the Sweet Melissa Sundays group, we are approaching the end of our time together. At our current pace of two recipes per month and with just 8 recipes left, we'll be finishing up in August. Crazy to think we'll have made every recipe in the book! So, with that said, I'm thrilled to be hosting for what will probably be the last time today. Even though we're down to just a few recipes remaining, there were several that caught my eye.
I ended up choosing these strawberry rhubarb preserves because they were somewhat seasonal and because I'm obsessed with the combination of strawberries and rhubarb lately. I think it wound up being just a tad too early for good, juicy strawberries except in a few lucky areas of the country. Mine were decent, but definitely not on par with the ones that'll be available in a month or two. Fresh rhubarb also proved tricky to find. I thought I remembered it appearing in stores in April last year but perhaps it was May. I did find some at Whole Foods, but I only bought a little because it was pretty expensive. Luckily, they also had frozen rhubarb so I used that in combination with the fresh for this recipe.
We've made the master preserve recipe from this book a few times now and I just love its simplicity. You just throw everything in a pot and cook until it breaks down and thickens. There's no need to worry about buying pectin (which is basically a thickener); instead apples are used as they are a natural source of pectin. The recipe calls for a candy thermometer, but I honestly think you could make it without one - just use the tip in the recipe below to stick a spoonful in the freezer and check the consistency once cool. Mine took about 45 minutes to an hour to thicken up. You won't hear me say this very often because I have a major sweet tooth, but I think I may cut back on the sugar in this recipe next time. Even for me it seemed a little overly sweet. Otherwise, it was great, and so versatile - spread it on toast, scones or muffins or even bake with it. I've already put a little stash aside so I can adapt this awesome recipe for raspberry squares.
Many thanks to everyone who participated this week! You can see the other members' results here.
Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves
from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book by Melissa Murphy
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
4 cups sliced rhubarb
2 cups peeled and cubed Granny Smith apples (about 2-3 apples cut into 1/4 - 1/2-inch pieces)
2 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons orange zest
Combine all of the ingredients in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat and cook the mixture until it registers 212 F on a candy thermometer, stirring frequently. The fruit will break down as it cooks; you can also mash it slightly if desired. After the preserves reach 212 F, continue to cook for about 30 minutes more, or until they are thick. To verify you have the correct consistency, you can place a spoonful of the preserves on a small plate and pop in the freezer until cool. The preserves should be quite thick - if they're runny, you need to cook them a little longer.
Cool the preserves to room temperature then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
Makes about 4 cups

I recently bought canning jars just to fill them with strawberry rhubarb preserves, something I've been dying to make for over a year now! I love how this recipe is naturally thickened with apples, now I just have to be patient until rhubarb is available near me!

Thanks for hosting Tracey! I absolutely loved this recipe. I was lucky enough to find nice strawberries and rhubarb (at a reasonable price) in my local store. Your preserves look delicious! I love the bright color.
Thanks for posting your link to raspberry squares...I was thinking the same thing! This jam would be great in a crumble/crisp bar and I was debating on what recipe to use. Will be trying this one out. Thanks again! - April 17, 2011 at 1:48 PM

Rhubarb is one of those things that I did not like growing up, but I haven't tried as an adult - who knows, maybe I would like it now? I will make sure to pick some up so that I can try these amazing-looking preserves.

Never would have thought to add apples to my rhubarb; I often added oranges or strawberries. As soon as our rhubarb appears, I will give this one a try.

Looks really delicious. I just made a recipe that called for rhubarb. I have learned it is VERY hard to find in the South because it needs a cold climate. When I saw some I snapped it up. I'll be posting the dish later this week. I now love rhubarb. Your jam photos are perfect.

Cheez-It-Ish Crackers
If you're still on the hunt for an easy appetizer or snack idea for your holiday gatherings, these cheez-it like crackers from Dorie Greenspan are the answer. I volunteered to bring homemade crackers to Shane's company party and wound up choosing this recipe from about 3 or 4 I'd considered and let me just say, I'm lucky there were any left to share at the party. So, so good. I'll admit, I've never been a fan of cheez-its. My brother loved them when we were growing up so there were always boxes around the house, but they held no appeal to me whatsoever. The "ish" is the key part of this recipe's title; though the scent of these crackers reminded me of cheez-its, their flavor was leaps and bounds better than anything that ever came from a box. They're almost like a savory shortbread cookie - so buttery and light. I used cheddar this go-round, but my all time favorite cheese is Gruyere so that's next on the agenda.
One of the best things about these crackers is the ease of preparation. The dough comes together in about 5 minutes in the food processor - seriously. The instructions below have you roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the crackers, but if you want to make things even easier on yourself, you can shape the dough into logs and turn these into a slice and bake snack (you will need to chill the logs for at least 3 hours, which is longer than the chill period if you make cut-outs, so plan ahead).
I finally finished my Christmas shopping yesterday, but there's still a whole lot of wrapping to do. I'm thinking another batch of these crackers is bound to make that task a whole lot more enjoyable :)
Cheez-It-Ish Crackers
from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces
1/4 pound grated cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, and Emmenthal are all good choice)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Add the butter, cheese, salt, and both peppers to the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until the butter is broken into smaller pieces and the mixture forms small curds. Add the flour to the food processor and pulse until curds form again (this might take a bit - my dough got very dry and crumbly first but then came together into curds).
Turn the dough onto your work surface and knead briefly to bring it together. Divide in half, shape each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour (or up to 3 days).
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Remove one disk from the fridge and roll it to a scant 1/4-inch thickness between sheets of parchment. Using a small cookie cutter (about 1-1 1/4-inches) cut rounds from the dough. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet - you don't need to leave much space in between, these don't spread. (Save the scraps of dough, you can combine them with the scraps from the second disk to roll and cut more crackers.)
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the crackers are firm and golden. Use a spatula to transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool.
Repeat with the second disk, and then the scraps. The crackers are good warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container (they'll be good for at least 4 days).

@Katie - Honestly, I'd let them stand on their own. They have enough flavor that they don't need to be paired with a dip or anything else. Maybe just a glass of wine :)

One Shoulder Gown with Asymmetrically Draped Skirt Style VW351000
Simply breathtaking
I was so excited to go in and try many different dresses that I had added onto my favorites. I selected this one but it wasn't my first choice. When I tried it on however, there was no other dress for me. It was gorgeous and fit perfectly. I was amazed at how great it fit my body. I'm a size 6 and it was so form fitting and flattering to my shape. I would recommend to anyone!

I said yes
I was torn between this dress and the Fit and Flare Gown with Sequin and Tulle Flanges also by Vera Wang, but this dress fit me and my personality and was almost a thousand dollars less. I cannot wait to wear it on my big day.

Gorgeous dress
This dress looked stunning on my big day. I love it! There was one slight issue with it, something must have caught and caused a pull down the front of the skirt - I don't know if it is a manufacturers defect or my own fault, which is why I did not take any stars away. Just be aware that this can happen easily (I had only been wearing the dress for 30 minutes when I noticed it).
