Last night at 11:00 I got the following confusing press release. At first I thought it was a mistake. But no: Apparently, the Seattle Monorail Project board has been limping along, trying to clear up unfinished business, for all these months:
[UPDATE: I just got a call from Jonathan Buchter, the SMP's finance director, who says the reason the agency didn't just disband a year ago is several lawsuits against it were still pending. The last one was just dismissed; hence the final FINAL meeting.]

The last time we heard the threat of WW III from Bush he was referencing Iraq.
I'm sorry, but this entire ordeal reeks. Quite frankly, I don't care to know what happened.
They had a heated argument. He grabbed her by the throat, which is physical assault, for the first time in 33 years. He was 'probably' drunk. He should definitely 'go to rehab' if he was drunk, because that will solve everything.
Wwwwwwwwwwhaaatever. We're missing all of the vital information, for something that really isn't any of our fucking business, and more than half of your article is frivolous.
Should we demand his resignation? LOL!!! Mr Poe is right, assult is SO blown out of proportion...until his next BF beats the shit out him.
That article was way too long. Who's the editor at the Stranger?
He didn't beat the shit out of his wife, you moron. He was 'possibly' drunk, and things got a little out of hand, involving hands, but not fists, you moron.
And no, that doesn't make it right. But should it lead to rehab, resignation, and 1,500+ words on drinking in general? Life is full of events like this, and we all experience them. Do we all call the cops and throw stones immediately?
"When drinking and anger mix, sometimes bad things happen. I'm not trying to excuse what McIver allegedly did or say that being drunk exonerates himfar from it. But situations where drinking and violence intersect are inevitably more complicated than initial media reports suggest, and the weeks to come will almost certainly prove this true."
That about sums it up, folks. Can we go back to judging ourselves for awhile and let them settle this?
Fo' show!
The entire article can be summed up as: Politicians drink. Stranger writers drink. Sometimes they drink together. We could probably all do with a spin around rehab.
Perhaps I just haven't lived enough, but I've never put my hands around someone's neck during a heated argument, drunk or sober; never had that happen to me; and I've never been arrested for anything. It's not something we all experience.
That said, we don't know the details of McIver's situation. And as much as I don't like him, I'd be happy for this whole situation to be between his wife and him and the justice system.
The speculation is getting boring.
@7 - I thought it was a Weekly writer that was drinking with him.
I think there's a lot of people who want to believe so badly that McIver is innocent, for reasons from professional admiration to personal relationships, hence the multiple cries of 'guys don't judge let's wait and see.'
I dunno, the cops got called on a domestic violence call, and it got him thrown in jail for two days, and now a formal charge. These sorts of things don't result from a simple misunderstanding.

Her session with Tedeschi, while hardly the strongest they've ever committed to video, is this true highlight. Maybe it's the way his nuts slap her face, or the subsequent river of jizz.
Taking a close second is the Cheeks/Hardman encounter; livened up by a breath of fresh air in the great outdoors (well, by the pool at any rate). This segment holds appeal for students of professional muff munching.

I skied Silverton last March (I agree with another reviewer that March-April are the best months to go), and had a great time. Being an expert skier, I've done my fair share of extreme skiing, especially in various spots in France, Telluride, and perhaps the best mountain ever, Jackson Hole. I must say that, though the skiing was extreme and is only for those in the top 2-3% ski level, it was a bit overrated overall. I think the guides/staff there knows this, thus they try to mess with you mentally with the "you might die today" wavers, which are lame. Same goes for the beacon and other av. equipment they require. You could die skiing Buttermilk or some east coast mountain, but you won't see such silly wavers from them. As for the guides, they are hit or miss. Some are cool dudes, others aren't.
Overall, if double blacks are boring to you, and you need a little adrenaline kick, then Silverton is for you. The uniqueness of Silverton itself is awesome as well (no frills, one lift, etc.) However, the hiking (especially back to the lift after a run) gets old really quick. Don't expect to do more than 5-6 runs a day. Finally, as great as Silverton is, it still takes a backseat to Jackson Hole. Several of the runs at J-Hole (such as the famed Corbet's Couloir) trump anything Silverton can throw at you, and they don't require unnecessary beacons or a signed death certificate either. In fact, I'd recommend skiing Silverton to prepare for skiing at Jackson Hole. But, overall its a great time and not as intimidating as they'd have you believe.

Prior symmetry, similarity-based reasoning, and endogenous categorization
This paper presents a rational theory of categorization and similarity-based reasoning. I study a model of sequential learning in which the decision maker infers unknown properties of an object from information about other objects. The decision maker may use the following heuristics: divide objects into categories with similar properties and predict that a member of a category has a property if some other member of this category has this property. The environment is symmetric: the decision maker has no reason to believe that the objects and properties are a priori different. In symmetric environments, categorization is an optimal solution to an inductive inference problem. Any optimal solution looks as if the decision maker categorizes. Various experimental observations about similarity-based reasoning coincide with the optimal behavior in my model.

Hi all,
I do not know if this was covered before but it would be really nice if we could search form Plugins with a criteria such as « WordPress VERSION » exactly like the « version of WordPress you are using » of this topic.
There are so many obsolete extensions that are not supported anymore and when we get a list of more than 1000 plugins when searching for a particular feature.
It would be nice to have and would surely help thousand WordPress users.

Greek Walnut Pie
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 45 mins
A honey-lemon syrup is poured over this nutty pie after baking, creating a new twist on baklava. Recipe created by Maria E. Irvine a Pillsbury Bake-Off 41 Contestant.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (15 ounce) boxpillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
- 2 1⁄2 cups finely chopped walnuts
- 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3⁄4 cup butter or 3⁄4 cup margarine, melted, cooled
- 3⁄4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Heat oven to 325°F Spray 9-inch glass pie pan with cooking spray. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using sprayed pie pan.
- In medium bowl, mix walnuts, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Pour and evenly spread 1/4 cup of the cooled melted butter over bottom of pie crust. Spread walnut mixture evenly over butter. Drizzle another 1/4 cup butter over nut mixture.
- Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut large slits in several places in top crust for steam to escape. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup butter evenly over top crust.
- Bake at 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. About 5 minutes before removing pie from oven, in 1-quart saucepan, cook honey and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture has a watery consistency.
- Remove pie from oven; place on wire rack. Slowly pour hot honey mixture evenly over top of hot pie, making sure it seeps into slits in top crust. Cool at least 3 hours before serving.
- Just before serving, in small bowl with electric mixer, beat topping ingredients on high speed about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon topping onto individual servings of pie.

Great pie recipe. Very rich and I even left off the topping!! I added 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/8 tsp ground cloves for a more traditional baklava flavor, but this recipe is wonderful as written. You will be amazed at how much it tastes like baklava---but so much easier.
Oh, yeah baby! I'll never make baklava again, because this was SOOOOO much easier. Next time, though, I might use the baklava spices instead of just cinnamon, and try orange juice instead of lemon with the honey. I might also try some fig in with the walnuts, just to give a two-toned texture to the pie filling. But this recipe does stand on it's own, I can't wait to take it to church on Sunday and feed it to my friends that enjoy for the yearly Greek Festival as much as my hubby and me!
Very yummy recipe! I took the advice of another reviewer and added 1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1/8 tsp ground cloves. Also, because I am not overly fond of citrus, I cut the lemon to 1 tsp and added 1 tsp vanilla to the honey sauce. I found a name brand that packages "Finely Diced Walnuts" in a bag yielding exactly 2-1/2 cups that seemed to be the perfect chopped size. My family liked it and said I could make it again anytime. I served it with vanilla ice cream.

Miss Shade(not real name) has been a healthy woman most of her life. At 29, she was a buxom woman with a successful career as an accountant in a reputable firm. She wasn't much of an eater, but she indulged herself in candy, cookies, cakes; anything suitable to satisfy her sweet tooth.
Her aunt was diagnosed with diabetes four years ago, and has been more in the hospital than out of it since then. The doctor told them it took quite long before she realized something was wrong with her, and the disease had eaten deep into her system. She needed dialysis for her failing kidneys, and her left foot had a huge sore that has refused to heal.
Although Miss Shade had been told she might also be prone to it due to the possibility of diabetes being hereditary, she never really took it serious.
"I assumed only older people had the disease, and even if it was hereditary, I still had more years on my side to prepare against it", Miss Shade said.
One morning at work, she realized she was going to pee more than usual. Within an hour, she had gone to the toilet four times. She felt so weak and thirsty.
"I knew something was wrong", she said. After two and half hours, she decided to visit the company clinic.
"The Doctor immediately ordered for my random blood sugar test after speaking with me. I was surprised when the result came back and the doctor told me my sugar level was too high", she continued.
"It felt like a dream to me; a diabetic at 29?! I had just started my life! I started having horrible imaginations of amputated limbs, failed kidneys, and confinement to the hospital bed for the rest of my life by the age of 35!"
"The doctor reassured me, and advised that if I could control the kinds of food I ate and took my drugs regularly, I could still live a long, healthy life", she said.
"So far, I've been able to adhere to the rules; using my drugs regularly, avoiding simple sugar foods like candy and pastry, and living life with a positive mind".
"Diabetes is not curable," she enthused, "but it can be well managed with discipline, hard work and determination."
Diabetes is one of the commonest "silent killer" diseases around us. As long as we are amongst people, it is not so hard discovering at least, one person battling with the disease. It could be you, your parents, spouse, neighbours, or even children. That is why it is necessary that we learn more about how to prevent it, as well as manage it for those who already have it.
When a person is initially diagnosed with diabetes, he or she is totally scared and worried about dying soon. Thoughts of becoming bind, getting amputated limbs, or finally ending up as a vegetable, fills one's mind and it seems all hope is lost.
The good news is that, once you have adequate knowledge on how to manage diabetes, you prevent a worse condition for yourself, and go on to live a normal, healthy life.
Diabetes is a disease in which there are abnormally high blood sugar levels. This could happen due to two main reasons:
- The body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin
- The body fails to respond to insulin
Insulin is a protein hormone, produced in the pancreas that is important in regulating the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. The effect of Insulin is the storage of carbohydrate, protein and fat; hence, it is called the "hormone of abundance."
There are three different types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes- In this form of diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or no insulin.
- Type 2 diabetes- In this form of diabetes, the body does not respond normally to insulin produced. This is known as INSULIN RESISTANCE.
- Gestational diabetes-It occurs when pregnant women without a history of diabetes develop high blood glucose level.
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Decrease in muscle mass (especially in old people).
- Muscles use sugar to generate energy, hence, less muscle results in less sugar being consumed for energy, and more sugar is converted to fat.
- Heredity- Diabetes is likely to develop amongst people whose parents or close relatives had it.
- Old age
- Someone who already has high blood pressure
- Abnormal cholesterol levels
- Someone who had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy or a baby weighing more than 4kg
- Women that have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
- Diabetes may show no symptoms for months, or even years, before it is diagnosed
- High level of sugar in the blood
- Polyuria- urinating in abnormally large volumes
- Abnormal thirst(polydipsia)
- Weight loss in spite of increased appetite
- Blurred vision
- Decreased endurance during exercise
- Drowsiness
- Lightheadedness on standing
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Worsening vision with damage to blood vessels of the eyes
- Swelling in the legs and other parts of the body due to kidney failure
- Pain or numbness and tingling of hands and feet
- Foot infections and ulcers
- Sudden loss of function of limbs
Most people who have diabetes have no symptoms. Symptoms tend to become more prominent with time. The best way to arrest the situation as early as possible is to have a screening test for diabetes, especially if one is with any of the risk factors above. The screening test involves a simple blood work in which your blood sugar level is measured. A person is diagnosed with diabetes if the blood sugar level is above 125mg/dl in a fasting state, or 200mg/dl and higher if the test was performed at random.
- PROPER DIET: foods that could increase blood sugar levels like starchy foods (rice, bread), and sweets (cake, sugar); should be reduced from one's diet.
- EXERCISE: engaging in physical activity is another way to prevent the onset of diabetes.one should avoid living a sedentary life, and engage in brisk walking, tennis, swimming, and other forms of exercises regularly.
- WEIGHT LOSS: being overweight is a risk factor for diabetes; hence, one should try to maintain a normal weight. Determining what one's normal weight is meant to be can be calculated using the Body Mass Index BMI. This is done by dividing weight (in kilograms) by height (in metres squared).
- Underweight: less than 19
- Normal weight: 19 to 25
- Overweight: more than 25 but less than 30
- Obese: 30 and above
As soon as a diagnosis is made, the healthcare professional will recommend medications to control the disease and prevent complications. Routine visits will also be arranged so that the patient's progress is regularly monitored. In the same vein, exercise is encouraged and diet should be well monitored. A person with diabetes goes on to live a long, healthy life if these steps are taken in their right proportions.

Is it possible to configure an ASP.NET application under IIS 7 so it can read files stored in a mapped network drive? I'm not trying to serve up the contents of the drive. I simply need to read the contents within the ASP.NET application. I've searched the Web and haven't really found a solid answer. The questions in my mind are:
- Is this possible via configuration (i.e. I cannot modify the client code)?
- If so, what are the step by step instructions.
If it is not possible, I'm fine with that. I already know UNC paths work but using them drastically changes the work flow.

KABUL, Afghanistan (October 25, 2012)--The military says two U.S. service members were killed in what evidently was an insider attack by an Afghan police officer.
The U.S. force in Afghanistan says in a statement that a man wearing an Afghan police uniform turned his weapon on U.S. troops in Uruzgan province.
U.S. forces spokeswoman Maj. Lori Hodge said the attack happened before noon on Thursday, but declined to give further details and said it was not clear yet if the attacker was an enlisted police officer or an insurgent disguised as a police officer.

Summer Internship Program
Notre Dame undergraduate students who seek a challenging, real-world experience that utilizes their academic interests and skills should consider applying for the Kellogg Summer Internship Program. Students work with non-governmental organizations and policy institutes in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States, where they learn about the needs and challenges facing developing countries while offering their skills and talents to work toward sustainable goals. Participation in the program allows students to improve their language skills, deepen their understanding of developing countries and gain real world experience in the field.
"Throughout my internship with the Inter American Press Association, I felt valued and welcomed as a member of the team. I left feeling confident not only that I had achieved my goals and learned many new things, but that, through my contributions, I had made a positive impact on the organization as well."
—Nora Eder '16 (Anthropology/Spanish)
Students will spend a minimum of eight weeks with their host institution. (Applicants seeking summer programs for a duration of less than eight weeks should consider the Experiencing the World Fellowships - freshmen and sophomores - or the Kellogg/Kroc Undergraduate Research Grants - juniors.)
The dates of internships vary depending on the program. Some programs have set requirements while dates for other organizations are arranged between the supervisor and the intern. Applicants should check the Locations and Description pages for specific information.
Students receive an award to cover most expenses including transportation, living expenses, vaccinations, visas, etc. While funding, in some cases, may exceed expenses, students should NOT expect to receive extra funding.
Students selected for the program will begin preparing for their summer experience through a series of orientations as well as contact with their host organization.
Entrepreneurial internships – While the Institute partners with several organizations throughout the world, students may choose to set up their own internships with organizations that do not partner with the Institute. Applicants who choose this option should work closely with their host organization to ensure that their application adequately explains the relationship of the student's skills to the needs of the organization. Click here to learn more about this option.
The program seeks students who have the academic interests, skills and initiative that best match the needs of the host organization, ensuring a mutually beneficial relationship for both the students and the organization. Applicants must be able to clearly articulate the relationship between their academic and career goals and the work needed at the host organization.
Students applying for a Kellogg internship should carefully review the requirements and needs of the host organization.

Perhaps the best track from this year's slept on WZRD project, finally gets a video.
Kid Cudi speaks on WZRD's #3 debut on the Billboard charts and how it did much better than they believed it would.
2123623510 by YardieGoals From the recently reviewed WZRD LP, in stores now.
It's only a natural progression for someone like Kid Cudi to do a rock-offshoot project. Let's not forget, even from the days of his first single, "Day N Nite", he was singing more-so than rapping. We saw him infuse these elements even more-so on 2010′s Man On The Moon II, a hip-hop LP with some [cont.]
Cudder and Dot Da Genius have teamed to form WZRD for this offshoot project, dropping on February 28th. The Kid just released the tracklist via Tumblr. 1. The Arrival 2. High Off Life 3. The Dream Time Machine 4. Love Hard 5. Live & Learn 6. Brake 7. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie feat. Desire 8. [cont.]
Here's your first look at the official artwork for Cudder's rock offshoot project, WZRD, with Dot Da Genius, hitting January 30th. That's so wizard.

- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Professional Wrestling, Joke Characters of the Lethal Variety, Comedians.
- Domains: Competition, Luck, Trickery.

- Allies:
- Non-Ascended: Marty DeRosa.
- Ascended: CM Punk, Paul London and Brian Kendrick.
- Opposes: Vince McMahon.
- High Priest: "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush.
- The first wrestling Deity to ascend without the help of Vince McMahon. To say this infuriates McMahon is an understatement.
- Remember the fact he used to compete in WWE as Scotty Goldman? McMahon treated him as a mere jobber. Brian Kendrick remembers (as they fought once in his The Brian Kendrick persona) and buried the hatchet.
- Has a storied and long-standing friendship with CM Punk.
- He was once told "Funny ain't money". He's since dedicated his life to proving that wrong.
Darjeeling, Goddess of Spirited Competitors
- Demigoddess
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Symbol: The emblem of St. Gloriana Women's Academy◊
- Theme song: The British Grenadiers
- Portfolio: Spot of Tea, Spirited Competitor, Combat Pragmatist, Fan Of The Underdog, Graceful Loser, Proper Lady, Stiff Upper Lip, Ice-Cream Koan
- Domains: The British, Sports, Tanks
- Allies: Lynette Bishop, Mahiro Yasaka, Rize Tedeza, Chiya Ujimatsu and Sharo Kirima, Uncle Iroh, Cana Alberona, Houkago Tea Time, Sayaka Miki, Asgore Dreemurr, Artina, Homura
- Enemies: Liquid Snake, Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann
- Friendly Rivalry: The Anglerfish Team, Maho Nishizumi, Katyusha
- Commander of St Gloriana Women's Academy, Darjeeling very rarely loses her composure and has an air of elegance about her, possible due to her personality.
- Despite being Japanese of origin, Darjeeling frequently speaks in a very posh tone usually befitting one who comes from Britain, granted St. Gloriana is a British themed school.
- If someone is ever able to beat Darjeeling at tankery, she will always give them a tea set as a prize.
- She also applauds anyone who's able to make Darjeeling spill her tea as Darjeeling always manages to keep her teacup level even while in a tank.
- Darjeeling sometimes goes to the house of food as she likes being with her friends Rize and Chiya due to all three of them being named after different blends of tea.
- She also goes to Fleur de Lapin with Uncle Iroh, Lynette Bishop, Asgore Dreemurr and Houkago Tea Time due to their mutual love of tea.
- Darjeeling can sometimes be seen with other deities who share certain similarities with Darjeeling such as Sayaka Miki, Homura, Artina, Mahiro Yasaka and Cana Alberona.
- Many food deities dread the occasions whenever Darjeeling cooks anything because whatever she cooks will end up looking more like an MRE than anything appetizing.
- Several deities in the house of knowledge believe Darjeeling needs to study proverbs as 90% of Darjeeling's "words of wisdom" sound intelligent, until you stop and think about them for a moment.
Dexter Grif
Private First Class/Sergeant/Minor Junior Private Negative First Class/Captain Dexter Grif, God of Blood Sports (Griff, Dirtbag, That Yellow Guy, Sarge's Number 7 Man)
- Theme Song: Grifball Jam
- Demigod
- Symbol: The AGLA logo
- Portfolio: Being ultra-lazy, being gluttonous, being on the short end of Sarge's schemes, being a Badass Driver when the situation calls for it
- Domain: Sloth, Gluttony, Pain
- Allies: Simmons, Donut, Church (both Alpha and Epsilon), Yukari Yakumo
- Enemies: Sarge (kinda)
- He was forced to ascend after the Main House decided to have a Grifball court built into the House of Sports. Whenever a player picks up the Grifball, Grif's spirit possesses their body and their uniform becomes orange - leaving him the prime target for everyone's Gravity Hammers. Also, much to his chagrin, he gets blown up whenever he scores.
- Whenever anyone's not playing Grifball, Grif can either be seen sleeping in his house or pigging out in the House of Food. His bottomless stomach scares that entire House. He once got into an eating contest with Pac-Man, Kirby, and Kyoko Sakura - after what took weeks (even after manipulation from the House of Time and Space), it ended with a tie.
- He has no idea why everyone thinks his armor is yellow instead of orange. In fact, Charlotte once tried to eat him, mistaking him for a block of cheese. (Grif survived, thanks to his protective cone.)
- He gets uneasy whenever he's around any type of Action Girl. This is likely a result of Tex busting his balls one too many times.
- Has a huge respect for Yukari Yakumo, and tries to emulate her laziness.
- He tried to pledge himself as a follower of every other deity in the Pantheon, under the rhetoric that omni-religion would force him to take every single day as a holy day of rest. It didn't work.
- The Stig, after seeing some records of Grif's driving capabilities, sent Grif an e-mail challenging him to a race. Grif hasn't responded, since he's too lazy to even look at his email.
- Has recently entered a period of mourning. When asked why, he simply responded with "I didn't know him too well, but I knew him well enough." before cramming more lava cakes into his mouth.
Miho Nishizumi
Miho Nishizumi, Goddess of Non-Lethal Tank Warfare (Miporin)
- Theme Song: "Sensha-Do March: Panzer Vor!", SCHOOL GIRL Hajimemasu! and infinity orbit
- Demigoddess
- Symbol: The Cartoon-ish Anglerfish that marks her team's Panzer IV Ausf. H. Alternatively, the Ōarai Girls' Academy logo.
- Alignment: Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Tanks, unconventional tactics, No One Gets Left Behind, Heir to the Dojo, Adored Big Sister Figures who admire their own big sisters, Defector from Decadence, refusing to accept Serious Business unless it is legitimately serious, bringing hope to Sensha-Do students, Preventing schoools from closing.
- Domains: War, Sports, Tactics, Friendship, Hope
- Followers: The Oarai Girls' Academy Tankery Club, countless online tank gamers.
- Allies: Saori Takebe, Hana Isuzu, Yukari Akiyama, Mako Reizei, Madoka, Twilight Sparkle, Luffy, Millhiore, Leonmitchelli and Couvert, Mark Jamieson Shepard, I-401 Iona, Miku Kohinata, The Nagarekawa Girls, Anoa Aoba, Naka, Teana Lanster, Sanya V. Litvyak
- Enemies: Azula and Gunnery Sergeant Hartman
- High Priestess de facto: Shizuka Tsuruki
- Opposed by/Opposes: Her mother, Shiho Nishizumi
- Friendly Rivalry: Maho Nishizumi, Darjeeling, Katyusha
- After taking a school whose Sensha-Do program was twenty years dead and winning a national tournament with leftover tanks, crews full of rookies, and tactical-defensive combat, she inadvertently caught the attention of Mars and Madoka. The Maiden of Battles determined that the girl had taken The Second Breath when she jumped a series of river-bound tanks to rescue her companions and the Goddess of Hope was impressed by the young Hope Bringer. She was then welcomed into the Pantheon.
- Has also assisted in ascending her fellow Anglefish Team crew into various houses in the Pantheon, the latest being her former high priestess Yukari; the latter still travels the mortal plane preaching the Neo-Nishizumi Style - the tankery discipline Miho embodies, which is based on friendship, fun and unconventional tactics - long after her ascension.
- She was offered a Lesser Deity status but refused it. According to her friends, it was hard enough to convince her to accept divinity at all. Even afterwards she was prone to saying Stop Worshipping Me.
- Whenever a Sensha-Do practioner says "Panzer Vor!" they are invoking Miho.
- As also performing the Anglerfish Dance, since it was one of the essential rituals that became instrumental in her team's victory over Pravda High.
- She's often visits Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed, sparking rumors that she is Creed's ancestor.
- Upon her ascension, Kamina expressed interest in mentoring her about Rousing Speeches. Sadly, when she tries to emulate his Large Ham style the result is endearingly awful.
- Learning about Azula and her treatment of her friends was the closest she's come to divine fury. Then she heard about her Villainous Breakdown and felt pity and compassion. They are only enemies as far as Azula believes that Sensha-Do is an elaborate plot by her loving mother to make her fail at life.
- She has a great relationship with Madoka and come to see the veteran goddess as a Cool Big Sis. She did not hesitate in joining the Pantheonic Rebellion to support her.
- She also is good friends with Saki Miyanaga, due to having similarities in their relationship with their respective sisters. Miho holds out hope that Teru cares more for Saki than she lets on, much like Miho's own sister does for her.
- Miho hasn't figured out why she sounds like I-401 Iona but she's not complaining because she's a nice person(?) from the few conversations they've had.
- She, Anoa Aoba and Naka (and later on, I-401 Iona, Teana and Sanya) have made a small group called "The Girl Military Force", with her standing for land crafts. She felt like she was bit out of place, though, as she was the only one not directly based on a vehicle, as she simply pilots a tank, until Teana joined in. They seem to look over the "non-lethal" part of her title.
Nekomaru Nidai
Nekomaru Nidai, God of Saving Sports Teams (Ultimate Team Manager, Mecha-Nidai, Mechamaru )
- Demigod
- Symbol: Chain-suspended weights beside a clipboard
- Alignment: Chaotic Good, Chaotic Evil in Ultimate Despair
- Portfolio: Large Ham, Hot-Blooded, Younger Than They Look, Determinator, Made of Iron, Taking the bazooka shot, Becoming a cyborg, Dueling to the death and losing
- Domains: Athletics, Training, Management
- Followers: Patches O'Houlihan
- Allies: Makoto Naegi, Aoi Asahina, Sakura Ogami, Sonia Nevermind, Peko Pekoyama, Monomi/Usami,Mikan Tsumiki, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, Chiaki Nanami, NintendoCapriSun, Wii Fit Trainer, Hisao Nakai, Glass Joe, Little Mac, Adam Jensen, Raiden
- Enemies: Monokuma and his Mastermind, Nagito Komaeda, Balrog
- Upon ascension he was greated happily by his fellow classmates. He was however bemoaned by the majority of the gambling community as it shuffled the win-lose odds with his repeated training of underdogs taking them to extravagant heights such as national playoffs. Savvier gamblers noted this meant odds were mostly just reversed.
- As soon as he could he re-started training himself and his allies from his universe. Of note Aoi has improved even further while Sakura politely declined, seeking a partner instead. Nekomaru decided to throw everything he had at her despite knowing he couldn't win a straight brawl, if just to challenge her a little.
- Not the fondest of Nagito Komaeda especially after hearing just how crazy he could get. He routinely rounds up fellow minded gods and kidnaps him so he won't potentially sabotage the GUAG.
- Has decided to taken on training Glass Joe. While his physical performance has only improved slightly, Nekomaru outfitted him with headgear and has taught him fake out jabs and how to protect against his One Hit Ko weakness. Even Little Mac got a little afraid but continues to train with only Doc Louis depsite Nekomaru's offers. Still they respect each and are impressed by each other.
- He's been recently pushing Hisao Nakai, himself born with a heart disease. Hisao's appreacitive of the thought but often finds himself overexerted. Nekomaru joked that if things got to be dangerously harmful, Hisao could just become a cyborg like he once was to Hisao's dismay.
- When visiting Chiaki, Nekomaru heard the jubilant screams of someone declaring the greatness of the bathroom. Joyful that someone seemingly had a similar appreciation of a good shit, he marched to their shrine and declared each other friends. This was none other than NintendoCapriSun.
- After his roboticisation in the virtual world Adam and Raiden gave their sympathies even if it wasn't real and were impressed to hear that the incident that led it to it was to save a friend. They were caught off guard when it seemed Nekomaru MOSTLY seemed to enjoy it. This did end up leading Raiden to learn of what Ultimate Despair was, infuriating him and solidifying their alliance.
- Was happy to get the chance to try and fix things with Usami after his events in the island simulator. She promises to make sure that the future for everyone in Ultimate Despair will be bright.
The Monstars
Pound, Bang, Bupkus, Nawt, and Blanko, Gods of the Opposing Sports Team (The Mean Team, The Nerdlucks)
- Demigods
- Symbol: A basketball surrounded by space rings.
- Theme Music: Hit 'em High
- Alignment: Chaotic Evil
- Portfolio: Opposing Sports Team, Amazing Technicolor Population, Make My Monster Grow, One-Winged Angel, stealing the talent of other basketball players, playing dirty, Punch Clock Villain, Defeat Means Friendship, Five-Bad Band.
- Domains: Aliens, Basketball, Cheating.
- Followers: The Luca Goers, Cobra Kai, The Globo Gym Purple Cobras
- Allies: The Ginyu Force
- Enemies: Michael Jordan, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Dr Eggman
- Rivals: All Looney Tunes affiliated gods.
- The Monstars came to the Pantheon when their boss Swackhammer found out about the Pantheon and decided that he wanted the Pantheon to be a new attraction at his intergalactic theme park, Moron Mountain. The Court of the Gods decided to challenge the Monstars to a basketball game; if the Monstars won, the Pantheon would be moved to Moron Mountain.
- With the Pantheon's basketball team being led by Michael Jordan and Sakuragi Hanamichi, the Monstars didn't stand a chance, not even after they'd stolen the talent of several basketball players in the mortal realm to boost their skills. The outraged Swackhammer was sent back to Moron Mountain when the Monstars turned on him, only for the Monstars to realise that they had no way of going home themselves. As a result, it was agreed that they would be given a position in the Pantheon.
- After their ascension, the Monstars returned the talent they'd stolen, but the powers of the Pantheon enabled them to remain in their Monstar forms due to the nature of their position.
- The orange one is called Pound, the green one is Bang, the purple one is Bupkus, the red one is Nawt and the blue one is Blanko.
- Following the relevation that Charles Barkley had grown more powerful since the Monstars last encountered him, steps have been taken to stop the Monstars from stealing his talent again should he ever come to the Pantheon.
- The Monstars had challenged the Looney Tunes to a basketball game once before, so the Looney Tunes told the Pantheon's team what to expect from them.
- Dr Eggman dislikes the Monstars because he views Moron Mountain as a threat to Dr Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park.
- The Monstars get along surprisingly well with the Ginyu Force, and have challenged them to a friendly basketball game. The Ginyu Force are the favourites to win because Guldo's psychic powers and Burter's super speed lend themselves well to basketball.
- If their poor stats in the tie-in video game are anything to go by, the Monstars aren't nearly as good at basketball as they claim to be.
Rincewind, God of Running
- Demigod
- Symbol: A pointy hat with stars and the word "WIZZARD" on it
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Running Away, Modern Major General, Battle Luggage, Obfuscating Stupidity, Reason Before Honor, Great Luck, Perfectly Reasonable Cowardice, High Hopes, Zero Talent
- Domains: Travel, Magic
- Allies: Caiphas Cain, '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''', Brave Sir Robin, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Flash, Rainbow Dash, Scott Pilgrim, Sasha Blouse, Latios and Latias
- Followers (i.e. those running in the same direction): The Legendary Beasts, Lake Trio, Tornadus and Thundurus, other cowards (but, as Rincewind is quick to point out, cowards who are still alive)
- Not the strongest god, but definitely one of the hardest to defeat. It's not easy to find him, especially when he's startled, but he might be in the library or in the Food house, eating potatoes. Especially after the ascension of Sasha Blouse, as the House of Food now has a plentiful source of potatoes for him to feast upon.
- Possible the only god unkillable in full frontal combat due to his ability to run away from anything and everything.
- Hated by Pokémon Trainers everywhere in the sense that he encourages some legendary Pokémon to run away from them. Even if those Pokémon have started to avoid being associated with Rincewind, there are still some who follow him.
- Also present in House of Travel.
Saki Miyanaga
Saki Miyanaga, Goddess of Mahjong
- Demigod
- Symbol: a 1 of Circles mahjong tile
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Mahjong, Joshikousei, Making Statisticians Cry
- Domain: Sports, Mahjong, Strategy
- Followers: Nodoka Haramura (her consort and Head Acolyte), Junichiro Koizumi, Hitler, The Pope, Yulia Tymoshenko
- Won the godhood from a much-vaunted Interdimensional Tournament of Mahjong, largely staying out of the proverbial bloodshed and defeating most other Mahjong masters too busy jockeying for position. She was defeated by Akagi in the final four match (the other two contestants are Junichiro Koizumi and her own sister Teru Miyanaga), but won the godhood anyway since the adjudicators from the House of Justice caught Akagi cheating and Saki's points was still unchanged after a mahjong equivalent of a massacre, thus demonstrating her absolute mastery of the game.
- Himeko has expressed interest in her and her partner, although it's still too early to say that they will be allies. The same could be said for Nanoha.
- She often gets lost in her own temple. This led to Nodoka leading her by the hand when she visits other Houses.
- Due to her skill with the technique, "Tsumo after a kong" is part of the standard prayer for her followers.
The Stig
The Stig, God of Test Drivers and Professional Racers (Mysterious Racer, All That We Known of Him, Racer X)
- Demigod
- Symbol: a generic white full-face helmet
- Alignment: True Neutral
- Portfolio: Cars, Racers
- Domain: Sports, Racing, Celerity
- Followers: Michael Schumacher (served as his avatar for a time), Flying Finns (and many other Finnish people as well), the cast of Future GPX Cyber Formula, and professional racers worldwide. Speed Racer caters car for both The Stig and Takumi.
- Allies: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.
- Rival: Tak Fujiwara.
- Enemies: Rubens Barrichello, Sebastian Vettel.
- Adscended after the fall of his predecessor, who's now known as the Sacked Stig.
- Maintains a fierce rivalry with Tak Fujiwara, although at present it's limited to open taunting and fierce races on street circuits (because The Stig races exclusively on the circuits while Tak highly prefer streets). Monaco is their favored venue.
- Some say that he has sent down a new, female avatar. Some say that he is an Egyptian king. All we know is... he's called The Stig.
Bandit Keith
Keith Howard, God of Unsuccessful Cheaters and Sore Losers (Bandit Keith)
- Theme music: Bandit Keith's theme.
- Quasideity.
- Symbol: An American flag bandanna.
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Sore Loser, Cheaters Never Prosper, Smug Snake, constantly picking on teenagers, Hair-Trigger Temper, Big Bad Wannabe, Asshole Victim, Unsportsmanlike Gloating, always wearing Cool and Sinister Shades, Killer Robot, Wearing a Flag on Your Head, Eagleland (Type 2), Spared by the Adaptation, Adaptational Badass.
- Domains: Competition, Gambling, Jerkassery.
- Allies: Dick Dastardly, Wario, Waluigi.
- Enemies: Yugi Mutou, Yusei Fudo, Seto Kaiba, Katsuya Jonouchi (aka. Joey Wheeler, non-ascended), Pegasus J. Crawford (aka Maximillion Pegasus, non-ascended).
- Opposed by: Judai Yuki, Captain America
- Pitied by: Yugi Mutou, Yuma Tsukumo
- Drinking Buddies with: The Most Interesting Man in the World
- Herald: Ushio.
- Gained the title due to his actions during Duelist Kingdom. After Duel Monsters creator Pegasus humiliated him in a duel, he entered the tournament uninvited and cheated his way into the finals, cheated during his and Jounouchi's duel, and tried to threaten Pegasus into giving him the prize money after losing. Unfortunately for him, said duel turned out to be a Shadow Game controlled by Pegasus, who caught his foul play. Whatever happened to him after that (sources differ note ), it wasn't nice.
- Also notable is that his initial loss against Pegasus led him into: drinking, entering a card game tournament in a deserted island, luring Jonouchi (a teenager) into a trap to watch his strategy, stealing the entry card to the finals from that teenager, beating up the teenager's shorter and weaker friend for almost catching him on the act, pointing a gun at Pegasus after losing a duel with said teenager, and in one continuity, actually getting resurrected to have a rematch. With the teenager. His utter inability to accept loss made him worthy of his second title.
- ... It should be said, though, that in several video game adaptations, Keith is actually a genuine threat, having usurped control of the Ghouls from Marik, facing off against the Other Yugi/Yami Yugi without cheating, defeating Jounouchi in battle, gained the ability to initiate deadly Shadow Games, and stealing the Millennium Items to control the Winged Dragon of Ra. These accomplishments, while dangerous, are usually foiled by the mysterious being playing the games. (It doesn't help that Ra was stuck in its Sphere Mode.) Then again, there are doubts about the veracity of these events.
- Is somewhat of an Unreliable Narrator, constantly saying the title as the champion was wrongfully taken from him (and beating up anyone who says otherwise). Contradicting stories circulate about his encounters with mortal Jounouchi (Joey Wheeler) pre-ascension.
- One version (the one Keith supports and tries to keep circulating... with a lot of success, surprisingly) says that Jounouchi confronted him (because of the aforementioned "luring the teen into a cave" thing) and tried rather ineffectively to beat him up, which Keith dodged with ease. Nothing major came of it.
- The other version, supported by Yugi Mutou and the mortal himself, says that the blond found Keith beating the living daylights out of Yugi, who had tried to call him out after catching him outside of Jounouchis room (right after the older man had stolen Jous entry card to the finals, no less). Jounouchi promptly kicked his ass.
- Regardless of which version is true, Keith often boasts that he's glad that the young man will probably never ascend to the Pantheon - as it should be. Other gods can't help but think he feels another way entirely, however.
- Not powerful enough to be considered a threat, but enough of an asshole for most of the weaker and/or smarter deities to avoid him. That doesn't stop him from trying to pick fights with weaker deities to pass the time, though. Unfortunately, he once tried to provoke a seemingly weak newcomer by pressing his buttons (that is, insulting the boy's clan). Unfortunately, that "weakling" was none other than Kurapika. Given what happened next, we can reasonably conclude at this point that Keith isn't all that smart, either.
- Used to look for Demigods and Quasideities to try to blackmail into kidnapping Yugi, just so he could have a duel and beat him (or beat him up, more likely), but got caught by Yusei Fudo. One roundhouse kick later, Keith went to other sections of the House of Gaming to restore some of his dignity as a former champion... only to end up cheating at every game he found until he got caught by Seto Kaiba. Now, Keith spends most of his free time in the bars in the House of Food. He has The Most Interesting Man in the World as company, at least.
- Even after everything that's happened (which also made Keith gain opposition from Yugi fan Judai Yuki), Yugi himself can't help but feel sorry for him. Not that he has forgotten what a jerk Bandit Keith has been (and still is); he certainly recognizes that his actions and cheating habits must be stopped. But rumors have started circulating of the King of Games planning to redeem the guy somehow. True or not, fellow duelist Yuma Tsukumo is totally down for the idea. Which doesn't make anyone else feel better about it.
- Oddly, a big deal seems to have been made from his nationality, (particularly the way he very visually represents it), and has come to be known as some sort of American nationalist as a result. Even though that's not quite true, Keith has decided to embrace this reputation due to the popularity boost it brings him.note ... That won't go to his head, hopefully.
- This makes him not very well liked by some gods, though. Captain America in particular is not much of a fan of his, not just because of Keith's overly-patriotic persona, but because of his true nature; therefore, he avoids him as much as possible. The super-soldier doesn't like bullies, after all.
- Unfortunately for everyone, Keith has been befriended by Dick Dastardly, Wario and Waluigi. The guy doesn't really know what to think of his new mustached pals, but they have encouraged him to keep doing his dastardly deeds and make pride of his title. Sadly, it doesn't look like he'll be reforming anytime soon.
- Should Keith win a duel, expect him to rub it in your face.
- Has recently befriended fellow cheater Aran Ryan. They are known around the pantheon as the "Cheater Duo".
- Also has a spot in the House of Gaming.

- Enemies: Chuck Norris, Eikichi Mishina, Jerrica Benton (Goodman)
- Oppose: Ratchet (LaFleur)
- When the Pantheon are in need of a Dodgeball team, they call upon all players with the skill to participate for godhood. Both LaFleur and Goodman took part of it, but since the Pantheon didn't allow their team to come with them, they assembled what they could for a rematch. However, things did not go as expected as their selection are all of the ascended members of the Pantheon and used their powers to play and things went out of control. Essential, they both hold the title though they will have a rematch they seek to see who is the true holder of dodgeball.
- LaFleur is currently training the youths in a game of dodgeball after he and his team won the tournament. Though a lot of people learn of his training with Patches O'Houlihan and they wondered how efficient it is considered his mentor and coach throws wrenches at them, make them go through live traffic, and has a contraption that shoot dodgeball very fast.
Patches O'Houlihan: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
- So far, he taught them Patch's important lesson on the five d's of dodgeball: Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.
- Goodman blames Chuck Norris for his loss in the tournament since he was the tie breaker that allowed the Average Joe's to play in the finals instead of forfeiting. Chuck Norris would not take it as he told Goodman that the next time he ever denies him, he'll give him one hell of a roundhouse kick.
White Goodman: "Fuckin' Chuck Norris."
- LaFleur consider making Jimmy Hopkins his prodigy since he taught nerds how to beat jocks at dodgeball.
- If Jerrica had the chance, she would have helped LaFleur with his bankruptcy but LaFleur would admit that he would of decline if he didn't know about doing dodgeball. Despite this, he remain good friends with her. In contrast, she hates Goodman for he reminds her of Eric Raymond.
- Dexter once made a machine that give him a huge advantage in dodgeball against a trio of bullies. Ironically, as LaFleur pointed out, he left himself right in the open in which Dee Dee actually knocked him out as the result.
- Goodman once insulted Larry the Night Guard for having a deadbeat job, and for trying to steal his "good" looks.
- Eikichi Mishina is disgusted with White Goodman, because despite being narcissistic and was once fat like him, at least he didn't act like an asshole to other people.
- Goodman is a gross man when it comes to women, especially when he want to woo with them. This is shown when he try to flirt with his attorney Kata Veatch (later, LaFleur's girlfriend) and making her uncomfortable. He was banned from the House of Love when he was planning on wooing with the other women in the House.
- LaFleur would joking say that the Green Arrow is if Steve the Pirate decided to stop being a pirate and instead be a Robin Hood-wannabe.

Yeah, I am currently here in Charlotte visiting the in-laws for this weekend. Currently, NWS is forecasting 2-4 inches here. It is expected to changeover sometime mid-late Sunday afternoon and last into the evening. All depends on the track of the Low tomorrow of course.
I'm even more concerned about potential severe weather/tornado threat back at home later this evening in Jax area.

I get these HTTP errors when uploading images:
When I deactivate the WP Smush.it plugin, then it works.
Does this plugin not work when used with CloudFlare?
I get these HTTP errors when uploading images:
When I deactivate the WP Smush.it plugin, then it works.
Does this plugin not work when used with CloudFlare?
Could you please try if that happens with version 1.6.2 too?
You can download previous versions from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-smushit/developers/
Hello @aristath, i have the same problem (without the cloudflare)...
i tested with 1.6.2, 1.6.3, 1.6.4 & developer version
i think the problem is only if someone theme have customize image sizes add on functions.php theme. if they don't use or just use the 3 native sizes on wp media section we don't get any http error. i think the problem is just the customize image sizes
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size('customize_image_1', 460, 9999, false);
add_image_size('customize_image_2', 700, 9999, false);
add_image_size('customize_image_3', 438, 9999, false);
add_image_size('customize_image_5', 60, 9999, false);
@b_dark so if for example you use the plugin with the twentytwelve theme that doesn't use any custom image sizes you don't get these errors but you get them if your theme specifies image sizes other than the default ones?
@nickth could you please try using the twentytwelve theme so that we may verify that it is indeed an image_size issue?
yes,exactly :)
@b_dark ok.
@nickth can you please verify that this is also the case with you so that I report this as an official bug and the plugin developer finds a solution?
in case of @nickth i think have to add and the ip's of Smush.it in white list of CloudFlare and hosting server
@nickth please read this post too:
It explains why you may be having this issue with cloudflare.
what about my case without cloudflare? :P
An update is coming pretty soon... So far it looks as if this issue has been resolved in the latest release.
Stay tuned and please update as soon as the update is available. :)
the problem resolved with the last update(:)), but makes problems now with WP Smush.it NextGEN Gallery Integration, its shows a empty white page when you try to manage someone gallery :/
Hi @nickth
One of our developers has just taken over this project and yesterday he released version 126.96.36.199 which included quite a few improvements, one of which addresses various errors.
Do you think you could try the latest version and let us know how you get on?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

I've configured supersized and make it work with a default directory setting.
but I need text over every slide so I went to Nextgen option, but I can't make it work. It stucks in loop gif.
Also, I'm not able to use integrated WP Gallery with this plugin. How can I assign images in my WP Gallery to supersized? I don't see any option in Slide Source for that.
Is there any way to add caption when using default directory source?
thanks in advance

"Denver Mile High City" Denver by AVG2319
Denver Travel Guide: 1,036 reviews and 1,804 photos
Denver is the largest city in the state, so the hub of most of the activity. Has some great views of the Rockies and there are several very nice parks near the lakes around the city.
While some people consider just the city proper-Denver, in my opinion, is made of all the surrounding suburbs: Westminster, Thornton to the north, Aurora to the East, Cherry Creek to the South, and Golden, Morrison,Lakewood to the West. And of course further West you'll find many ski resorts.
Boulder is really not a suburb it is good distance NW of the city. Fort Collins further north yet
Castle Rock is south of Denver on the way to Colorado Springs
If you want to see all the state has to offer, plan on either driving a lot or stay in one area for awhile and then stay in another. It is not possible to see everything here in a one week vacation, so pick the spots you really want to see and come again another time!
If at all possible, take a drive to Colorado Springsor "the Springs" as the locals call it. Beautiful natural tourist attractions can be found there. Aprox. 2 hours south of Denver. Colorado Springs is a vacation spot in itself, but if you can only visit the state once try and fit a day spent in "Springs"
- Pros:Amazing State!
- Cons:Weather is Completely Unpredictable!
- In a nutshell:Amazing-Not enough time to see it all in one trip!

Good Beginning
I think Kriotube lacks a lot of impact. It doesn't rock my socks off, it just, slips them off gently, like a thief in the night instead of the music-magic-icon it should be. But Goddamn, the beginning is awesome. Like Final Fantasy and Sex. The rest just seemed to start lacking in that it wasn't interesting as the rest of your work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well, I like this one much more than the others you wrote at the time. It's good.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Sytrus: Electrocute. An interesting choice of bass for the first part. Also, @ 12 seconds, it DEFINITELY Needs to get pumped up. 10/10 5/5 ^_^
-DJ Babokon
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Great song but.....
It needs to be a HELL of a lot louder at :12 i hear that and I expect the bass to blow up, and ruin my speakers. I have no problem with the song, in fact it's one of my favorites of yours, but it just needs to be a lot louder.
I have never done a review, but I saw this issue important enough to right my first review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
One of your best yet.

Amazon.com Review
Lisa Gardner is the New York Times bestselling author of eleven novels, including Say Goodbye and The Neighbor. She lives with her husband and daughter in New England. She is currently at work on her next thriller, Live to Tell, which will be publish in 2010. Read her exclusive Amazon guest review of Fear the Worst:
Linwood Barclay is a #1 bestselling crime novelist in Britain and a major European suspense star. So when I received the advanced reading copy of his latest novel, Fear the Worst, my first reaction was guilt—what rock have I been hiding under that I've never heard of an author who counts Michael Connelly, Tess Gerritsen, and Joseph Finder among his fans? My next response was sheer anticipation. There's nothing better than discovering a great new author. I immediately cracked open Fear the Worst, hoping for the best.
Long and short of it—Barclay delivers on the hype. Fear the Worst starts with one of the better opening lines I've read in a while: "The morning of the day I lost her, my daughter asked me to scramble her some eggs." It's such a simple sentence, speaking of everyday domesticity. You can picture a father. You can picture a daughter. Yet you're already filled with dread. A bad thing has happened. And yeah, for the next four hundred pages, the bad thing gets a lot worse.
This tension-filled dichotomy of an ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances isn't new territory. Harlan Coben would be drawn to this plot, not to mention a few others. But Barclay writes with a voice that's all his own. His ordinary man, Timothy Blake, is at that middle-aged point in life where he's racking up more losses than wins. First marriage has collapsed. Car dealership went down the drain. Parenting a teenage daughter remains a mystery. Blake is a man who's down but not out, which makes his efforts to find his missing daughter realistic, compelling and completely nerve-wracking.
The supporting cast is equally well-done: the prickly ex-wife; the daughter's troubled BFF; the female detective who seems to spend most of her time on the phone dealing with her own kid. Barclay excels at creating people you immediately recognize, and even if you don't like them all, you understand them. He also stays true to his characters; Blake doesn't magically turn into Rambo just because bad guys are now trying to gun him down. The prickly ex-wife doesn't suddenly crave reconciliation, just because they're now working together to find their child. By not taking the easy road, Barclay sets the stage for several shocking plot twists, not to mention one helluva dramatic climax.
Previous Barclay fans should enjoy this fast-paced outing. And if you've been hiding under a rock like me, time to crawl out and discover a great new author. —Lisa Gardner

Product Description
Buffy found its true momentum during the second season, as geeky Xander (Nicholas Brendon) fell in love with popular girl Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), Willow (Alyson Hannigan) gave up her crush on Xander in favor of werewolf boy Oz (Seth Green), and watcher Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) began a sweetly tentative relationship with computer teacher (and witch) Jenny Calendar (Robia LaMorte). Mayhem came to Sunnydale, though, in the form of evil vampires Drusilla (Juliet Landau) and Spike (drolly wicked James Marsters), who were more than ready to aid and abet Angel as he turned bad. It all sounds like horror-action mayhem (and there are great fight scenes), but Buffy took on its plotlines with amazing depth, intelligence, and humor. And oh, man, the love story! Buffy and Angel's tragic relationship is one of the most heartbreaking you'll ever find. Buffy's final dilemma finds her having to save the world at Angel's expense, and Gellar (who deserves a passel of Emmys for her work) is phenomenal at telegraphing Buffy's swirling conflicts between love and duty. This is some of the best TV ever made, period. --Mark Englehart

The team analysed 22 official franchise films, from Dr No in
1962 to Quantum of Solace in 2008 to test the theory that
popular movies are becoming more violent.
They found that rates of violence increased significantly and
there was an even bigger increase in portrayals of severe
violence - acts likely to cause death or injury if they
occurred in real life.
While Dr No featured only 109 trivial or severely violent
acts, there were 250 violent acts in Quantum of Solace. The
latter film featured nearly three times as many acts of
severe violence.
In counting and classifying violent imagery in the films the
researchers used a scheme modified from a US 1997 National
Television Violence Study.
Violent acts were defined as attempts by any individual to
harm another and classified as severe (such as punching,
kicking, or attacks with weapons) or trivial violence (such
as a push or an open-handed slap).
The research is newly published online in the US journal
Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine.
Study co-author Associate Professor Bob Hancox of the
Department of Preventive and Social Medicine says the popular
films are seen by many children and adolescents and their
increasingly violent nature is concerning.
"There is extensive research evidence suggesting that young
people's viewing of media violence can contribute to
desensitisation to violence and aggressive behaviour,"
Associate Professor Hancox said.
The increase in violent content of Bond movies likely
reflects a general increase in the exposure of young people
to media violence through similarly rated popular films, he
The latest Bond film, Skyfall, was not included because it
was unreleased at the time of the study.
