This TV series ran for 26 episodes.
Based on a 1967 manga by Osamu Tezuka, which was canceled early.
The series was inspired partly by Sanpei Shirato's 1967 movie "Ninja Bugeicho" ("Manual of Ninja Martial Arts").
The name of Dororo, a girl thief, is baby talk for "dorobo," the Japanese word for "thief."
Despite the title, the series focused on Hyakki-maru, Dororo's companion. The series was renamed "Dororo and Hyakki-maru," starting at Episode 14.
Originally, Tezuka planned to make the series in color and even made a color pilot. However, Fuji TV only allowed low budgets, forcing the series to be made in black and white.

It can be shocking or distressing for a woman who has had a loss to find that her breast milk has come in. Somehow her body never received the message about what has happened. It seems like such a cruel trick by nature. But it may help to realize that the filing of the breast is only the completion of the total pre-planned process of reproduction, and breast care and breast milk may become part of the grieving process.
Here are some general breast care guidelines:
To relieve symptoms of engorgement:
One way to help others in memory of your child is to donate your breast milk. Some moms have found that time spent pumping milk also provides time to reflect. For others, donating breast milk provides a modest sense of accomplishment during a very difficult time. Donated breast milk is given, by prescription only, to babies and others who have special health requirements for milk and whose own mothers are unable to provide it. There are some requirements if you wish to donate your milk. If you are interested in donating your milk, contact the Mothers' Milk Bank or WeeSteps.

Director Larry Eisenberg Talks Theatre Background and SHERLOCK'S LAST CASE at Group Rep
Interview by Steve Peterson
In Steve Peterson's interview below, director Larry Eisenberg talks about his theatre background and what led him to choose SHERLOCK'S LAST CASE for Group Rep.
How did you first get interested and start working in theatre?
I was 18 years old, a freshman in at a small liberal arts college in Maryland and hadn't yet decided what my major would be. The school's theatre department was run by a wonderful lady named Esther Smith. Esther was a force of nature.
I was on the track team and had sprained my ankle so one day instead of track practice, I went to a little diner off-campus for a beer and a burger. I met an older student named Tom Bloom. He who was in the theatre department and was currently in rehearsal for a production of Max Frisch's "The Chinese Wall," which takes place in the palace of Shin Shih Hwang Ti, the Chinese Emperor who built the Chinese Wall. In the play, there is a huge celebration of the Wall with guests from all periods of history and literature, including Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and many, many others. Tom told me to meet him in the theatre building.
I had never been in the building. When I arrived, the huge building was completely empty. I found a back stairwell that led into the belly of the building, and eventually, I found my way down to the scene shop and costume room. A door was open. I peeked in, and across the room, was Esther Smith with her back to me. She was lost in thought holding a brightly colored red jacket. I whispered, "Excuse me, is Tom Bloom around?"
Esther turned to me, let out a soft gasp, then clutched her heart dramatically, It took her a moment to recover, then held out her hand and ever so softly said, "Napoleon, honey. Come over here." I was instantly hypnotized. I walked across the room. She held out the jacket, carefully buttoned me up and said, "Rehearsal is tonight at seven o'clock."
That's how I got my first role as Napoleon Bonaparte in Max Frisch's "The Chinese Wall." I only had 6 lines but I was hooked. I immediately became a theatre major and never looked back.
You have been an active member of the Group Rep for a long time. How did that relationship start and develop to your involvement today as Co-Artistic Director?
I first joined the company in 1990 and probably stayed for about five years. Lonny Chapman was in his prime then, and we developed a close and creative relationship. He mentored me through the process of writing an original play called "Nautilus" which was produced by the GRT and eventually became a feature film called "Fish Don't Blink" starring Lea Thompson and Dee Wallace Stone.
Lonny also directed me several times and I had the opportunity to play Kit Carson opposite him in the GRT's production of William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life."
I left in 1994 or 95 but did come back occasionally to visit. In 2003, I rejoined the company and by then Lonny was declining. I acted in his last play, "The Time Is Out of Joint," and served as President of the Board for a couple years. The last production Lonny saw at the theatre was "Chaim's Love Song" which I directed. By then he was pretty weak but did come to see the show 8 times. We closed in October and he went into the hospital that November and never came out.
After Lonny passed, it was pretty difficult paying the rent and keeping our doors open. Ernest Figueroa became Artistic Director, and I think, inspired all of us to focus on quality and make bold choices. Chris Winfield and I worked closer and closer with Ernest in his efforts to turn GRT into a professional company. When it became clear that Ernest's responsibilities at the Broad Theatre were going to take him away from us, Chris and I just fell into our roles as co-artistic directors. We've been doing this now for two years and we've had some good productions, built up a very strong company of players and strengthened our bond with our audiences.

This means that they can not be routed around in the walls or any other place except where they come through the wall.
Remember that the service conductors do not have overcurrent protection so to run them on the inside of the wall would mean that there would nothing to blow or open in the event something went wrong.

A Delightful Place to Stay in San Francisco – I have stayed at the Parker Guest House three times, and thought it was just delightful all three times. There are many things to like about it, but here are a few of the top ones:
1) Nice rooms and immaculate bathrooms.
2) Pleasant, nicely-decorated public areas, including a very nice, sunny place for breakfast, gardens, and a fountain.
3) Good breakfast--coffee, cereals, yogurt, fruit, muffins, orange juice, milk, etc. Local and national newspapers to read in the breakfast area.
4) Friendly, helpful staff.
5) Diverse, interesting group of people staying there.
6) "Happy hour" each day with wine and snacks is a good chance to meet other guests.
7) Free use of a computer and a printer.
8) Good location.
Ownership – Another highlight to staying at the Parker Guest House is interacting with the owners -- Bill and Bob. They are not only hospitable, but also very knowledgeable on where to go and what to do while in SF!

Cadaver is a simulated world of cyborgs and nature in realtime. The battlefield consists of forests, grain, water, grass, carcass (of course) and lots of other things. The game server manages the game and the rules. You start a server and connect some clients. The clients communicate with the server using a very primitive protocol. They can order cyborgs to harvest grain, attack enemies or cut forest. The game is not intended to be played by humans! Instead the idea is that you write artificial intelligence clients to beat the other artificial intelligences.
dopewars is a UNIX rewrite of the MS-DOS program of the same name, which in turn was inspired by John E. Dell's "Drug Wars" game. You have one month to buy and sell drugs on the streets of New York, the aim being first to pay off your debt to the loan shark and then to make a fortune. And if you have to shoot a few cops in the process, well... The game includes TCP networking allowing you to meet (and shoot) other human drug dealers. Computer drug dealers are currently in development.

Sandy is wreaking damage on the New York media industry, and it's not just Broadway plays and film productions feeling the impact. The flooding of a major Internet Service Provider has pushed a number of sites, including Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, and Gawker offline, and they're rushing to find workarounds.
Datagram, the ISP, whose servers host a number of New York media sites, was hit hard by the storm. The company posting on its site "we are continuing to battle flooding and fiber outages in downtown New York and Connecticut…. Generators are unable to pump fuel due to the flooding in the basements." This knocked HuffPo, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and others, offline, but all three have found work-arounds, to continue to get their stories out.
Gawker was down for hours, but recently started sending readers to a live blog, which automatically updates with new posts—all focused on updates about the storm.
Huffington Post is redirecting readers to a simple blogsmith site with a single stream of articles, all also about the storm. Arianna Huffington told me in an email that all the company's three data centers—including its primary Datagram center in New York City—and its backup in Newark - failed overnight due to Sandy. The company saying in a statement: "AOL networking teams have been working through the night to restore connectivity and we are monitoring the connections as the telco companies work to restore service."
UPDATE: The Huffington Post is now back on line.
When Buzzfeed could no longer publish to its site, it shifted its new articles to BuzzFeed's other social platforms: Tumblr, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. BuzzFeed's CEO Jonah Peretti telling me " BuzzFeed is so tightly integrated with social platforms that it was totally natural for them to adapt this way."
Despite the fact that fault for the outage lies with Datagram, Peretti isn't frustrated or placing blame, he explained what happened with its ISP. "Datagram is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis caused by massive flooding in the basement of their building and the electrical grid in downtown Manhattan. The pump that sense fuel to their generators is completely submerged so their backup infrastructure is unable to function. They are good people and are working very hard to deal with this once in a hundred years situation."
The New York Times was unable to distribute papers in Manhattan this morning because of the road, tunnel and bridge closures. But NewYorkTimes.com never went out, thanks to what the Times describes to me as "a lot of redundancy systems and backup servers." When the Times building went off the power grid last night it shifted over to its generator.

Chicago Public School officials are making a new round of promises about the safety of students who will be forced to transfer next fall. Independent hearing officers rejected previous proposals for nine campuses.
CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said in a statement that she took the scathing critiques the hearing officers delivered for nine proposed closings seriously. One that's gotten national attention is a school located right next to the former site of the CHA's now-demolished Cabrini-Green housing development.
It would take more than $13 million to air condition and otherwise bring Manierre Elementary up to 21st century standards, according to school officials who want to shut it down.
Those who want to keep it open, though, note that it's on turf claimed by two street gangs: the Vice Lords and the Mickey Cobras. Plans call for most students here to transfer to Jenner Academy, only four blocks away, but within turf claimed by a faction of the Gangster Disciples; a gang federal investigators 20 years found had annual revenue of at least $100 million, nearly all from the sale of illegal drugs.
"It's not a smart move at all," says Tonya McKinney, who has an 8-year-old son at Manierre Elementary. "Not until they can control the gangs and the violence. When they do that, then maybe."
A new CPS plan released Monday promises that Jenner will have six security officers next fall, plus a new digital video camera surveillance system, as well as dozens of people, including police, who will monitor four "safe passage" routes through the competing gang turf.
Despite the complaints and concerns, since the demolition of the CHA's old Cabrini-Green development, gang activity has diminished dramatically. Million-dollar homes have sprouted less than a block from Manierre and the once all-black community is now racially integrated, to the dismay of some longtime residents.
"They're dismayed, because they've been pushed aside," says Kevin Taylor. "They don't have a voice. So the issues, the things that matter to them always get swept to the side."
CPS is promising that as part of "Safe Passage" it will hire people "who have significant knowledge of the dynamics of the community" and can play the role of community watcher. They're promising other supports, including peace circles, peer-to-peer juries, and interventions for students who need individualized attention. It won't be cheap.

Feb. 13, 2012 at 11:27 AM ET
UPDATE: Comments added from Tom Dolan, CEO of CDQuest.com.
It's easy to get so emotional about a singer after they've passed prematurely, as Whitney Houston did Saturday at the age of 48. But fans seeking to buy her digital albums in remembrance weren't too happy at sudden price hikes so soon after her death.
The Brits picked up on it quickly, with London-based Next Web writer Matt Brian and The Guardian's Josh Halliday both finding the price increases, which raised Houston's "The Ultimate Collection" 2007 album from £5 (about $7.89) to £8 (about $12.63). In the United States, the cost is even steeper: $15 for the "Greatest Hits" collection at both Amazon (mp3 store) and iTunes.
Halliday found out that Sony Music increased the price of "The Ultimate Collection" at about 4 a.m. Sunday, not even 12 hours after news broke of Houston's death. Fans were quick to point fingers at Apple for the anti-sale, but it turned out that when Sony bumped up the wholesale price of "The Ultimate Collection," iTunes and other retailers automatically upped their pricing.
We've reached out to Sony for comment and will update if/when we hear from them.
Digital Spy found consumers who said the price change happened even more quickly: 30 minutes for it to jump from $4.74 to $12.62, which prompted one buyer to fume, "The album itself is great so please don't be put off purchasing it, just [realize] that you will merely be lining some fatcat's pocket before Whitney's lifeless body is cold."
But Tom Dolan, CEO of CDQuest.com, wrote to tell us this goes against his experience with Sony.
"The costs to the retailer on each of the titles that you mention in your article have not changed at all. So if the cost of the product hasn't changed, then the actual culprit for the price increases would be the retailer and not Sony," Dolan wrote.
Houston's "iTunes Essentials" album is even more expensive at $18.45 for 15 songs (vs. 36 songs for $14.99 on the "Greatest Hits" album, which was originally released in 2000).
Over at Google Music, you can't find those albums, but there are a smattering of free singles, including "Greatest Love of All" and "So Emotional."
Meanwhile, at Walmart, things are just plain fishy. Though the retail giant has exited the music download business, it is still a massive CD retailer. While the pricing of Whitney's CDs hasn't changed, every single one is listed as 'out of stock online.' Could that really be because of a surge in buying? Or is there a price change afoot?
Dolan told us his thoughts on this:
Hardly any websites maintain very much stock and this all points back to distributors warehouses. So as popular as Whitney may seem, just days after her death, most distributors were only carrying <30 copies on almost all of her CDs, because she just wasn't selling. All of her rabid fans owned everything and there were no converts to her in recent years. Even at the distributor level, I can see the stock level histories and it looks like they were selling maybe 1 or 2 copies a day and that is at the distributor level. People have this misconception that labels sit on hundreds of thousands of copies of albums like this, but the reality is that this was pretty deep, slow moving catalog until she died. Then when somebody dies, every Joe Blow comes out of the woodwork saying how important an artist was and people suddenly buy up all the stock and in the internet age, that can sell out in an hour. It is as simple as that...
When somebody dies unexpectedly, especially an artist that was huge about twenty years ago but barely trickled in sales in recent years, nobody has stock on hand to meet the demand, not even the label, not the distributors and not the retailers, from small independents all the way up to Walmart. Up until the moment of her death, it would have been completely irresponsible for any music buyer to have been sitting on a lot of WH CD stock.
As of this morning, three of Houston's singles were in the top 10 singles chart at iTunes, including the No. 1 "I Will Always Love You," which was also sung in tribute by Jennifer Hudson at last night's Grammy awards. Houston's "Greatest Hits" album was No. 2 on the iTunes albums chart, runner-up to only Adele, who swept the Grammy awards with hits from her "21" album.
By the end of the week, Houston's sales could even surpass her.
Take our poll and let us know if you bought Houston's music, despite the price hikes.

"Tiny Prints wows again this year and I noticed a lot of my friends are using them too this year. I love them because I entered all my addresses in and they ship them out for me. The card came out beautiful - the green was a little bit more dull then anticipated, but still looked beautiful."
"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"The selection this year wasn't stellar but I sill managed to find a few to choose from. The card quality is thick and the printing is perfect. I have yet to have any imperfections. Thank you Tiny Prints. Ill see you next time!!"
"When I order my Christmas cards, I look for cards where I can include photos of my grandchildren. Quite often, there are too many slots or not enough slots for my photos. This Wintering Wonders flat card, offered just what I needed. I also liked that there were matching address labels to order as well. My only wish would be to have the option of including an additional photo and message on the back of the card as some of your other cards offer."

314 E Howard Ave, Decatur, GA | Directions 3003033.771995 -84.292175
Mon - Thu, 5pm - 10pm; Fri - Sat, 5pm - 11pm; Sun, 5pm - 10pm
Feast host BICYCLE TOURS ATLANAT – Agreeing to host a progressive dinner tour is stepping up to a high bar. BICYCLE TOURS OF ATLANTA brought in 11 hungry cyclists to sample the best FEAST had to offer.
The chef and staff stepped up to the challenge and surpassed our greatest expectations. Through a special agreement for this progressive dinner tour our guests were served with a sampling of 5 house specialties.
Each was a delight to behold and wonder to the taste buds. The decor is cozy and inviting, FEAST is a place to linger through a great meal.
The service was top notch, they got us seated efficiently, fed us in a timely manner and treated us really well.
FEAST will be on our partner list for any future dinner tours in Decatur.
Feast Resturant – Most romantic restaurant! My husband and I spend all our wedding anniversaries at Feast. We love to sit at the bar in the winter, opposite the open pizza oven, eating great food and drinking wine
Lovely warm atmosphere. Really nice, friendly staff.
Wonderful brunch – Had brunch for the first time at Feast today and it was glorious! The dish with the chorizo and eggs was amazing and the benedict that my husband ordered was unique and full of flavor. We decided to try out the all you can drink bloody marys and they are to die for!! We will be back next Sunday for sure!!
Yummy – We love to go to this quaint little restarant in Decatur, the food is always great and the atmosphere is cozy. It's always busy and the staff is super friendly. I sat at the bar and had drinks and desserts, the dessert sampler is super yummy! Even if you don't eat there i suggest coming for dessert, the lime pound cake was delicious!
A great place for a party – I recently attended a shower for a friend at Feast and while we had a wonderful time and the server tried her best, I had the feeling that Feast wasn't prepared to serve a large group. The food was good, not what you would expect at this type of event, service was decent but disorganized. The restaurant was a bit busy and they seemed to be short staffed. The plates were mixed matched and there were no utensils for cutting our cake. The flowers looked cheap and the hostess was pushy. Again, we had a nice time but I think it was because of the company we were in and not the reataurant!. I would think twice about having my shower there.
Best Pizza in town – I'm new to the area and was in search of a place to make new friends, grab a bite to eat and seek shelter from the cold rainy night. I found all of that at Feast! The steak pizza was original and fantastic, beer list has a unique selection and the bartender is warm and hospitable. It's hard to find a true neighborhood restaurant anymore and I think that I have found a true gem. Ate there for the third time this weekend and I have yet to be dissappointed. I look forward to dining there again and hope you do the same!
Great food - Great atmosphere – Ate at Feast for the first time this past Friday night. Had such a memorable time. Our server (Greg) was top notch! He was so friendly and knowledgable. The calamari was the best we've had in Decatur. My husband had the steak special , which was cooked perfectly and I had the salmon, cooked on a cedar plank. FANTASTIC! For dessert we shared a bread pudding, OUT OF THIS WORLD! The wine suggestions were perfect. We will be eating at Feast again and again!
I am a regular – I go here regularly..in winter I sit in front of the oven at the bar; in summer in the backyard. The wines are very reasonably priced.20 under $20...the best white is the Chardonnay/viognier mix. The feast small salad is always good...it has slices of pear, pecans, gorgonzola. Currently my favorite entree is the scallops with couscous. The planked salmon, cooked well-done for me, is always reliable and healthy. I do not eat steak so I cannot respond to the steak criticisms. The menu changes with the seasons. I have not really liked the lobster risotto. I have liked the pasta dishes. People rave over the roasted chicken but I eat so much chicken at home, that I cannot bring myself to order it....I usually do not have room for dessert but they do not do too much with the desserts..I have had all of them over time..I think the bread pudding is about the best one but this is not their strong suit. They are also great to me...I do not go on the weekend but do go on thursday nights when it is not too crowded. My service has been good but sometimes they will be slammed...a reliable friendly place to eat.
nice relaxing meal – This was our first time eating here, but it came highly recommended from a friend. The ambience is very nice and being a nice evening we chose to eat on the back terrace. After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about the service, however we had a great very attentive server. We did go at a non-peak time ( 5:30 on a Friday) and the restaurant was not crowded, so that may have contributed to the good service and prompt delivery of food. We had the blue crab and artichoke appitizer with pita chip, which was very good. We also had the olive mix, good but overpriced given the number of olives you get. I had the fish specical which was great and my husband had to ribeye- good but a little overcooked. Desserts looked good but we were too full. As others mentioned , they do have a nice selection of resonably priced wines.
I would definately go back, howver at almost 30.00 for a piece of steak I think there are better places. I wouls stick with the seafood entrees.
great food - fits decatur perfectly! service is unpredictible, but still worth a try. – I have eaten here dozens of times and will continue to go back. I have recommended it to many people! So far - every time I have been I have had a great meal. There are a few things on the menu that are just fantastic and I will go out of my way to get them - the mushroom chips, for instance. The pizzas are light and flavorful with a wonderful chewy/crispy crust and have just the right amount of toppings. I also loved the squash ravoli special. I have to agree that service is spotty at best - we have had a couple of very good attentive/frendly/speedy ones, and then a couple that acted like they were doing us a favor by waiting on us. Believe me - if I could just go and get it myself, I would have! One saturday brunch, there was almost no one there, but it took 15 minutes to get our drinks (water, coke) and 30 to 40 minutes to get our lunch! (pizza, sandwich)! good thing my friend and I had a leisurely day planned and wanted time to catch up anyway....still though, the food was worth waiting for if you have the time. I think the prices are more than fair as well! you can pay a LOT more and get a LOT less (quality and quantity) in other Atlanta reataurants!

The word is applied to the offering which was wholly consumed by fire on the altar, and the whole of which, except the refuse ashes "ascended" in the smoke to God. The meaning of the whole burnt offering was that which is the original idea of all sacrifice, the offering by the sacrificer of himself, soul and body, to God--the submission of his will to the will of the Lord. The ceremonies of the burnt offering are given in detail in the book of Leviticus. [Sacrifice]

If you are looking for Patio Dining experience then Rock Bottom is the right
place for you. We were there for a summer evening, enjoyed the food while seating next to the river side on a patio seating area. We had a full course meal starting with tuna appetizer, which was just great. We had great service which was perfect for our large group. We are planning to visit again for a similar experience near the river side.
Location and food both are gr8 and never forget the scenic beauty of the river. Planning to come back once again soon.
I never forget the scenic river, where the Rock Bottom is located. You will enjoy this place during summer. Outdoor seating travelling by boat all adds special flavor to this restaurant. The food and beer was pretty good. Besides having their own collection of beers they have original seafood salad and sandwiches.

The Naughty Scott beer at Rock Bottom was amazing. But more interesting thing was the river walk patio. The location is perfect and the overall place and ambience really impressed me. If you are planning to spend some time with your spouse in a summer evening then this is the right spot. Not only the location but the food they served specially the Margherita Pizza was awesome. I was so impressed that I
Terrible service – I've been here twice and both times were bad experiences. The first time, I went with my family. After waiting 10 minutes, we finally ordered a beer sampler. 20 minutes later, they still hadn't brought it, so we left. We decided to give it another chance, so my husband and I went for the fish fry one evening. Our service still wasn't so great, we had a sticky table, and we got, like, two small pieces of fish. I don't plan on going back.
Good location, bad food. Typical American style cuisine. – Their food is greasy and heavy. But if you like the typical American style food (burger, mac & cheese, pizza), you should try this restaurant. Their dark bear is excellent.
The location is one of the best in Milwaukee, especially in summer. You can sit outside on the river-walk.
Gotta go here if you're ever in Milwaukee – This is the one restaurant I recommend to everyone. Rock Bottom will appeal to every palate - they've got everything from pizza to burgers to chicken to pasta to massive salads that will leave you very satisfied. This is just a fun place to go to. The outside dining is also an experience that must be had in the summertime. You can't say that you've been to Milwaukee without having been to this restaurant. Its your own loss!
Good Pub Food – Rock Bottom has great pub food. My favorite is thier chicken Mac n Cheese. It comes with a nice caesar side salad. They have a small parking lot, so be prepared to park far, far away. Parking in their lot is cheap- like 50 Cents, while I usually end up parking in the Pabst Theater at $6.00 an hour!
This restaurant and brewery serves a varied menu and pours a great draft in a city known for its beer. – The Scene
This national chain is located along the city's grand River Walk. The view from its patio is superb and is a great spot on hot summer evenings. Blond woods bedeck the interior with three bars serving up signature brews. Darts, pool and a long menu make this is a great place to hang out with a group of friends.
The Food
Several of the brews are worked right into the recipes. Start with the warm, creamy Asiago cheese dip and scoop it up with homemade beer bread. Pizzas have a honey and brown ale crust and come topped with everything from pepperoni and prosciutto to shiitakes and capers. Looking for comfort? Get the fried chicken with white-cheddar mashed potatoes. A pint always makes a perfect dessert.

How Gareth Bale became Spurs' free-kick supremo
Gareth Bale might be making his colleagues' jobs easier, but he certainly isn't making mine any simpler.
- Bale: I can get even better
- Brassell: Bale brilliance lights up White Hart Lane
As ESPN's Spurs blogger, I'm expected to mix things up a little, varying the topics as much as I can to keep things fresh. Yet how am I meant to do that when there is only one talking point after every single game?
The only thing that anyone would want to or could talk about after Tottenham's 2-1 win over Lyon in the Europa League was how amazing Gareth Bale is.
Once again he rescued a result for Tottenham single-handedly. Once again, the goals he scored were spectacular.
Bale has now scored 17 goals in all competitions for Spurs this season. That's not bad for a midfielder, considering that it's still only February.
Six of those goals have come in the last four games, all played within the last 16 days. We are witnessing a player who has hit the form of his life, and he's absolutely unstoppable right now.
What a shame that Tottenham don't have a game this FA Cup weekend, because who would back against Bale continuing his scoring streak?
Instead he gets to put those magic feet up and take a rest, before facing the away leg against Lyon, in what is now a finely balanced tie.
Spurs have not been at their best in the Europa League this season and have tended to scrape results. Thursday night continued this trend, as Tottenham snatched a last-gasp win that they did not really deserve.
That win came courtesy of two brilliant free kicks from Bale, which came on either side of a stunning equaliser from Lyon's Samuel Umtiti. Who says the Europa League is the Champions League's poor relation, when it can serve up goals like these?
It marked Bale's third goal from a free kick in his last two games, following his opening goal against Newcastle.
If Bale is going to add this sort of set-piece accuracy to his game on a regular basis, it's going to make him even more dangerous. You can man-mark a player, but a free kick is the one time when an opponent has to give him space.
I'm pleased to see Bale excelling in this area, because free kicks have been a weakness for him since he's been at Spurs.
When Tottenham signed him, it was on the back of a number of impressive appearances for Southampton, in which he regularly scored direct from set pieces.
Bale came to Spurs and scored a very early and welcome free kick against Arsenal, but if Tottenham fans thought this was to be a regular occurrence, they were wrong.
It might be my memory failing me, but I can't remember Bale scoring from a free kick between that first strike against Arsenal in 2008 and the one against Newcastle at the weekend. Now he's got three in a week. So what's changed?
It could be as simple a thing as confidence, added to his newfound seniority at the club. While Rafael van der Vaart was at Spurs, very few people got a look in when it came to free kicks around the area.
The Dutchman was the older and more celebrated player. It would take a lot of nerve for a youngster like Bale to push him out of the way and insist on taking them himself. The fact that VDV never once scored from a free kick never seemed to diminish his confidence.
Now Bale is the number one player at Tottenham and if he wants to take a free kick, he will do. The way they're flying in at the moment suggests he'll take all of them, which is good news considering that Younes 'smacks it straight into the wall every time' Kaboul is ready to make his return from injury.
It's taken a long time, but Bale is finally the free-kick supremo at Spurs, and that makes both him and the team an even more dangerous proposition.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin (81) makes an 11-yard touchdown reception against Patriots free safety Devin McCourty in the second half of their AFC Championship game Sunday.
The Associated Press
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco celebrates after his third touchdown pass of the game – an 11-yarder to Anquan Boldin that clinched Baltimore's 28-13 win Sunday over the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game.
Photos by The Associated Press
Tom Brady and the Patriots couldn't produce any points in the second half Sunday, and as a result, they won't be making a return trip to the Super Bowl.
The ball -- and the rematch -- went to the Ravens.
A year after the New England Patriots took advantage of a dropped touchdown and a missed Baltimore field goal to advance to their fifth Super Bowl in 11 seasons, the Ravens held on for a 28-13 victory on Sunday in the AFC championship game.
"You have the opportunity to win the game and we came up short," Brady said. "There's frustration in that we wish we could have done better. But they're not going to give it to you. We didn't earn it; they earned it. They played a good game."
The Ravens and Patriots also met in the 2010 wild-card round, when Baltimore won 33-14. Last year, the Patriots won when Lee Evans dropped a potential winning touchdown in the end zone with 27 seconds left and then Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have forced overtime.
"It seems like every year it's us and them, always fighting at the end," New England defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said. "Two great organizations. And the best team won."
The Ravens reached their first Super Bowl in 12 years, thanks to three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and a defense led by Ray Lewis that made Brady look downright ordinary.
Next up for Coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens is younger brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers, who beat Atlanta 28-24 for the NFC title.
"I don't know if we had a dream this big," John Harbaugh said. "We had a few dreams, we had a few fights, we had a few arguments -- just like all brothers."
They'll meet in two weeks in New Orleans -- what a place for a party to celebrate the first brother-vs.-brother coaching matchup in Super Bowl history.
It also will be quite a last game for Lewis, the emotional linebacker who will retire after the matchup with the 49ers, who opened as a 5-point favorite.
"This is our time. This is our time," said Lewis, who made 14 tackles Sunday and has 44 in three postseason games after missing 10 weeks with a torn right triceps.
Driven by Lewis' pending departure, Baltimore's defense has stepped up in the playoffs. Brady was 67-0 at home when leading at halftime, but this was no contest in the second half.
As in the previous two playoff wins against Indianapolis and Denver, the Ravens were brilliant offensively in spots. This might be 17-year-veteran Lewis' team, but it's also Joe Flacco's, and the quarterback's six road wins are the most in playoff history.
"It was pretty awesome," said Flacco, who has eight touchdown passes and no interceptions in the playoffs. "We were here last year and thought we had it, but came up a little short. Guys came out in the second half and made plays. ... We put pressure on them like that, and it worked pretty well."
Flacco, the only quarterback to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons, was dynamic with his arm and precise with his decision making. Looking much more the championship passer than Brady, his touchdown throws of 11 and 3 yards to Anquan Boldin and 5 yards to Dennis Pitta all were perfect.
New England had four injuries, the scariest when running back Stevan Ridley was knocked flat by Bernard Pollard in the fourth quarter, forcing a fumble. Baltimore turned that into the final touchdown on its only short scoring drive -- 47 yards.

Excellent Experience – 2nd time here in two years. Both times were fantastic. Food, service and setting are outstanding. We have decided to make this a regular stop when we're in Chicago.
BEWARE – I was here recently with family and the food was fine. I might be giving Gioco a better review if this post was prompted by food alone (see other posts for rave reviews of the Italian cuisine). My experience was ruined when my purse was stolen right out from under my feet (literally). I was sitting in the back room at one of the large round tables with my purse at my feet. I avoided hanging it on the back of my chair to prevent this very thing from happening. The meal was nice, as stated above, and I checked my purse after dessert to check the time on my phone. Within a matter of seconds my purse, with my wallet, phone, etc., was gone. I was seated at my chair the entire time (as were the five other people I was dining with) and didn't notice any suspicious activity around me. I alerted the staff to the fact that my purse was missing and their response was rather passive and disappointing. They had an attitude of disbelief and aside from a very cursory check around the premises, and use of the house phone to call the police, they really didn't do anything to mitigate the situation. Meanwhile my credit cards were being used at area gas stations (as later revealed on my fraud report).
THIS POST IS A WARNING to all future patrons. If you choose to dine at Gioco, watch your purses/wallets! The theft was so swift it was seemingly the work of a pro who will probably strike again. Be safe!
I think we're done w/ Gioco – We've been to Gioco numerous times, and last night was our last. I've had better pasta from Trader Joes. The chefs antipasto choice plate was a joke-who puts two piles of speck and prosciutto on a plate with piles of whatever with it and calls it an appetizer? The other meals were average. I had a hard time deciding on what to get-just wanted a simple nice tasty meal. the veal has prosciutto and provolone cheese w/ other stuff on it-how about just a nice veal lemon? The menu is too "heavy" for us. Dessert-we had the three gelato's-boooring. could've had that at home and save my paycheck. Would've been nice with some wafer-thin dark chocolate cookies with it, but thanks for the mint sprig. Sorry Gioco-that's the last....
Nice Ambiance, great food – Was visiting from out of town back in 2007 and was taken here by some good friends. The ambiance was nice, and the historic aspect of being a former speak-easy for the Al Capone crew created interest. Our guests ordered for us. We started with a plate of the bolognese. Outstanding, likely the best bolognese my wife and I have ever had. No joke. The secondi platter was a porter house steak, sliced up for the table. Veggies and such on the side. Again, the steak was unreal. One of the better meals I've ever had. A five star visit for sure. We visited again in 2008... however the restaurant didn't come close to delivering. Still, a 3-star, but the bolognese just didn't have the same flavor and the porter house was fatty. None-the-less, we're dropping the 4-star bomb on this place due to the great great experience from the first time around.
Very tasteful food, very friendly service and alot of smoke from the kitchen – Last night, 7pm, we went to get pizzas, with no reservation and a convention in town, they were able to seat the two of us, very quickly I might add. No hassels from the hostess, just a friendly smile and the way to our table. Water, bread w/ super mellow olive oil and parmesan cheese quickly adored the table. Our waitstaffer told us about the specials of the day and was very nice. Watching her at other tables showed us she was very nice to everybody. Our carpacio salad was served to us very soon after we ordered. The salad was super!! The super thinly sliced rare beef was so soft it melted in your mouth. Crisp fresh 'rouggala' greens were nice and sweet. With the cheese,greens and sauce the salad came so nicely together. Well, the cappers were on the very salty side. But that was so minor because there probably were only 4 cappers on the plate. So far so good. Thin crust pizzas were next! Gee, what a bargin!! They had to be 12 inches across and the ingredients, the pizzas were created w/, fanatastic! One mushroom and one prosciutto, fresh everything, oh so good. They were very good. We each took 1/2 of our pies home. OK....the smoke from the kitchen. What's that about? Well we were seated on the level that the bar was and the kitchen was down one level, it is an open kitchen. The smoke from the cook staff, when they "flamed up" something in the pans overywhelmed the vent fans (I'm guessing) above the stoves which then rose up to the ceiling and then through the arched openings in the wall between the two levels to our level and filled the room. At times my eyes were watering from the smoke. You could see the smoke billowing from the kitchen it was that thick. The smoke did not have a bad smell to it, quite the contrary, a pleasent flavor of your backyard/deck grill. But still alot of smoke. Waitstaff was very attentive and nice. We'd definitely go back again. No we don't work there, we just live in the cily of Chicago. Enjoy as we did.
Didn't live up to its hype – We read the reviews here, so we went in with high expectations. I get the feeling some of these may be false reviews. Friendly valet out front. Very unfriendly hostesses, though. They were too busy chatting to pay attention to us. Ugh! We requested a romantic table. When we got there, the joint was about a fourth full. They sat us in front of the open kitchen, next to a party of eight and a party of twenty. NOT ROMANTIC! Why did they seat us there when so many other tables were open, especially when we requested something quiet? We decided to make the most of it. The waitress was good, but wearing her purse over her shoulder. That was unprofessional. It made us feel like she would walk out the door at any moment, like we were holding her up from leaving. We had to ask for bread. Had to ask for more bread. They were good about keeping our glasses full, though. His dish looked, smelled, and tasted like hamburger helper. My filet was very rare, but I ordered medium. They insisted on taking it back. They had it so long he finished his dinner by the time they returned. I cut into it and they hadn't cooked it more at all. It was still rare. We gave up, had them pack my food, so I could nuke it later, and headed off to the ballet. This place is very average. For the money, I can think of about 100 other places with much better service and a lot better food. Don't bother!
We eat here often, always have a good experience – Despite our favorite chef Fred Ramos leaving Gioco, we still enjoy our experiences here and the food is always excellent. Sunday we dined there for Easter Brunch and had a wonderful meal for an amazing price. If you are looking for a nice Italian dining experience for a great price, give Gioco a try.
Quite nice... service was good – When I 1st arrived, I waited for 2 minutes since the hostess was busy "yacking" on the phone. i had a reservation and there was a couple waiting impatiently before me. Finally another waitress (Indian looking) came and asked if I had been helped and I said no. She quickly sat the 1st couple and then seated me. She never smiled and she looked as if she wanted to go home. The ambiance was nice, a little bit noisy but not overbearing. Warm tasty bread was delivered immediately with rosemary scented olive oil. It was finished quickly and then Steven the waiter came over and it was a treat from then on. He made a few suggestions which were right on the money. 1st the wine, he recommended the riesling from Washington State and it was delicious. It was not overly dry, and had a snall sweetness to it. I normally drink reds (merlot, pinot noir and cabs) but this was a different and delicious wine. Appetizer was fried baby eggplant with some riccotta...delicous. Also had oven baked tomatoes with mozzarella, again very fresh and delicious. The entree was a suggestion; seared ahi tuna with a risotto spinach and mushroom.. oh my.. Desert was cheesecake and crume brulee. I had a terrific experience and would return. Never felt rushed and everything seemed timed perfectly. One of the managers helped out a couple of times and was quite funny! As i left, the restaurant was crowded and there were people even eating at the bar. Nice place....
Hipster Italian – This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the South Loop area, and I am a tough judge when it comes to Italian food because I am Italian and nothing compares to Grandpa's Sicilian cooking! However, Gioco always excites my taste buds and over loads my stomach! This place is always packed so make sure you make reservations or dine early if not. The menu is always changing which sometimes is disappointing because I want to the same dish as last time, but it forces you to try something new and you'll never be unsatisfied with the dishes. The pasta is handmade, the salads are exceptional with presentation and fresh cheeses. The mussels appetizer is in a spicy lite tomato based sauce and the fried calamari is cooked just right with just enough breading so you don't get full. The wine list is amazing, and the staff always suggests the right wine. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is young vibrant and friendly, they allow you to take your time and enjoy your dinning experience. The seating can accommodate any group, large or small. I prefer to sit by the kitchen so you can see the chefs cooking and take a seek peek at dishes to help you decide. The back of the restaurant does get hot and so does it by the hot kitchen, however do not sit by the front of the restaurant in the winter, because the door never stays closed for too long with people constantly coming in to dine or drink at the bar. This is a great place to dine with a large group of people, I would suggest using Gioco for any type of celebration ranging from birthday to anniversaries, or graduations to wedding proposals!
Romantic – This is a lovely place to have a quality meal . Expose brick and merlot colors through out the restaurant create a perfect setting for a romantic night out . The food is very fresh and flavorful. They also offer a decent wine list . Dessert is not to be missed.

Gilles Jacquier
A French journalist for the France 2's Envoyé Spécial news magazine, Gilles Jacquier was killed on January 11th, 2012 in Homs, Syria.
Distinguished by several major journalism awards including the prestigious Prix Albert Londres Audio-visual in 2003, Gilles Jacquier began his career as a reporter in 1999. He covered many conflicts: Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, during which he was wounded by sniper fire in Nablus in 2002.
Gilles Jacquier was the first Western journalist killed in Syria.
In an interview with France 2, Alain Juppe paid tribute to Gilles Jacquier:
"I would also like to pay tribute to the memory of Gilles Jacquier, a well-known foreign correspondent who carried out his work for the freedom of expression to its fullest. One way to combat what is happening in Syria is to tell the truth. And for truth be told, the media must have access to Syria. It is extraordinarily risky, as we have just seen, but I believe journalists do honor to their profession taking these risks to uphold the truth and free democratic expression."

The voter registration deadline is today at 4:30 p.m.
Residents who are already registered but who are voting absentee have a little bit more time than that to fill out their forms; the cut-off to request absentee voter applications is in a week, on Nov. 1.
J.J. Taylor, a member of the Calhoun County Board of Registrars, said the number of people registered to vote in this year's presidential election is on pace with those registered four years ago, during the 2008 race.
As of Thursday afternoon, 69,512 people were registered to cast ballots in Calhoun County. Just more than 5,900 residents had registered between January of this year and Thursday at noon.
"We've had so many people in here," Taylor said from the Board of Registrars' office.
This week, in the days leading up to the registration deadline, between 200 and 300 people have registered each day, he said.
But over at the Calhoun County Courthouse, the number of absentee voters has lagged this year compared to the some 3,000 applicants who cast ballots as absentees during the last presidential election, Circuit Clerk Ted Hooks said.
So far, only 939 Calhoun County residents have requested absentee voter forms, Hooks said. The majority of those have been elderly people.
"The older people are more diligent about voting," Hooks said. "They'll come in with their walkers and their canes."
People who will be out of town on Election Day can come to the fifth floor of the courthouse to cast their absentee ballots, the circuit clerk said. Or they can mail in their forms, as long as they do so before the Nov. 1 cut-off.
Those who have yet to register must do so in person today at the Board of Registrars' office in the Ken Joiner Calhoun County Administration Building or by mail, as long as it is postmarked by today.
Mail-in registration forms are available for download from the state website AlabamaVotes.gov.
The Board of Registrars' office will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
