The painting depicts the moment when Romney has been refused and is about to take his leave. Aurora holds a book of her verses which Romney has found in the garden and made fun of. Miss Heaton and Hughes disagreed over which scene in the poem should be depicted. The patron had wanted an earlier incident, but in a letter dated 14 December 1860, Hughes said, 'The moment I chose to paint was the best - Romney turning away ... If I had not chosen that moment, the story as Romney's dismissal would I think have been confused - it would rather have seemed a quarrel of which we did not see the end nor know the cause' (Mander, p.222). Ruskin sided with the artist. Miss Heaton also wanted Aurora shown in a white dress as in the poem, but Hughes felt that a sea-green dress would better complement the landscape. He had trouble with the composition, and asked Miss Heaton in the December letter 'kindly to pay me the price of the frame 632 - separate from the thirty guineas for the painting, as it has really cost me a great deal more time than I thought such a subject would have' (Mander, pp.222-3). He painted out Romney's hat twice; the overpainting has since become transparent, and traces of the two hats can be seen. He may have used himself and his wife, Tryphena, as the models for the figures. Miss Heaton must eventually have become reconciled to the picture, as the same month she commissioned from Hughes another painting, That was a Piedmontese ... (1862, Tate Gallery N05244), which again required Ruskin's intervention to mediate between the two parties.
Aurora Leigh's Dismissal of Romney was never exhibited in Hughes's lifetime, and remained virtually undocumented and the subject unidentified until Rosalie Mander's 1964 article '"The Tryst" Unravelled', in Apollo.

Public-commons partnership is a means of de-privatization while public-private partnership is a means of privatization.
- Poor Richard (Facebook, October 2012)
Commons-Public rather than Public-Commons
"We should link up social-public partnership and Commons-Public Partnerships. The important point to highlight is that social or commons must precede the state. Our elected representatives need to become again public servants and arrogant masters need to be rapidly recalled." (email, February 2014)
- Pat Conaty
David Graeber on Markets and States
"This is a great trap of the twentieth century: on one side is the logic of the market, where we like to imagine we all start out as individuals who don't owe each other anything. On the other is the logic of the state, where we all begin with a debt we can never truly pay. We are constantly told that they are opposites, and that between them they contain the only real human possibilities. But it's a false dichotomy. States created markets. Markets require states. Neither could continue without the other, at least, in anything like the forms we would recognize today." (http://p2pfoundation.net/First_Five_Thousand_Years_of_Debt)

"The subject of my previous book — The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low Overhead Manifesto — was the way in which falling capital outlays required for both information and material production was eroding the rationale for large organizations, and shifting the balance of power toward individuals, small groups and networks. In particular, I focused on the radically reduced capital outlays required for manufacturing were giving rise to a low-overhead micromanufacturing economy in which the large quantities of land and capital to which the privileged classes had access were becoming increasingly irrelevant, and the material basis for the factory system and wage employment was collapsing.
In this book, my subject is how the same phenomenon is empowering individuals against the large, powerful institutions — both state and corporate — that previously dominated their lives. The implosion of capital outlays associated with the desktop revolution, and the virtual disappearance of transaction costs of coordinating action associated with the network revolution, have (as Tom Coates has said) eliminated the gap between what can be produced within large hierarchical organizations and what can be produced at home in a wide range of industries: software, publishing, music, education, and journalism among them.
The practical significance of this, which I develop in this book, is that many of the functions of government can be included in that list. The central theme of this book is the potential for networked organization to constrain the exercise of power by large, hierarchical institutions in a way that once required the countervailing power of other large, hierarchical institutions."

Hendrik Spruyt argues that there was nothing inevitable about the rise of the state system, however. Examining the competing institutions that arose during the decline of feudalism--among them urban leagues, independent communes, city states, and sovereign monarchies."
See also: Coercion, Capital and European States: AD 990 - 1992. Charles Tilly: "In this pathbreaking work, now available in paperback, Charles Tilly challenges all previous formulations of state development in Europe. Specifically, Tilly charges that most available explanations fail because they do not account for the great variety of kinds of states which were viable at different stages of European history, and because they assume a unilinear path of state development resolving in today's national state."

Sharks Sighted in Freeport Bridge Area of Grand River in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
A Kitchener Remax realtor has been caught luring sharks to boost real estate sales in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Sharks, known for their uncanny ability to sniff out a meal, have been spotted in Kitchener, nosing around the Grand River at the Old Highway 8 Intersection. These sharks, of the Homo Sapiens species, have caught the scent of a delicious deal and they are following the tide of potential purchasers to the front door of 3751 King St. E., Kitchener, Ontario.
A stately Kitchener home, located a stone's throw from the historic Grand River, has netted the attention of curious onlookers and interested buyers due to a revolutionary marketing strategy. The subject property, with a list price of $399,900, is being reduced in price by $1,000 per day – every day – until it is sold. The property, listed by Michael Saunders, Sales Representative for RE/MAX Twin City Realty Inc. is located at 3751 King Street East in Kitchener.
When asked what inspired this bold marketing gambit, Mr. Saunders said "Real estate is a bit like fishing, really. You may wait a long time without a bite. Sometimes changing the lure can make the difference. The real estate marketplace in Kitchener-Waterloo has changed…is changing…and it's important for good real estate agents to be ever more innovative in their marketing approach – so that they can, at least, hook the interest of potential purchasers. My partner, Looey Tremblay, who is a Broker with RE/MAX Twin City Realty Inc., shares my views about being audacious in our real estate marketing maneuvers".
Mr. Saunders further said "Of course, this real estate marketing method is less risky for the Vendor when the subject property has great appeal and is well priced, which is the case with this property. If you're acquainted with the meticulous construction methods of Mennonite craftsmen, you'll appreciate the high quality renovations undertaken in this spacious home. It's a beautifully appointed home with spacious principal rooms. The elegant, open concept Foyer leads into separate wings of the 2600 square foot home. Martha Stewart would feel right at home in the Gourmet Kitchen, beautifully customized with burnished cabinetry, granite counter tops and built-in wine rack. The Family Room with its coffered ceilings is a celebration of light and space; extending the full depth of the home, with natural light streaming in from the west, north and south. When the snow flies, curling up in front of the gas fireplace with a hot toddy is the way to go".
"The super-sized Master Bedroom, with vaulted ceilings, has a walkout to a covered balcony that overlooks a panoramic view of the Grand River….and the whirlpool tub in the 5-piece Master Bath is a great place to soak after a rigorous workout outdoors. You're in a superb location to enjoy the high-energy fun associated with outdoor activities – pack a picnic lunch and head for the hiking trails; don your snowshoes; launch a canoe or kayak on the bank across the river; or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and the amazing wildlife in the Grand River area – whitetail deer; Great Blue herons; ospreys; beavers; eagles. Get away from it all…in your own backyard! You've got your own ½ acre wildlife refuge. What more do you need?" said Mr. Saunders.
"Realtors often take a bum rap" opined Mr. Saunders and, with a twinkle in his eye, said "but you could actually say in this instance "How low can this Kitchener realtor go?". With that, he turned to greet a curious passerby who had been told about the $1,000/day reduction until sold. "Come on in and look around" and they opened the door and disappeared within.
For additional information about the Kitchener home for sale at 3751 King St. E., log onto http://www.mls.ca and enter MLS # 0911255. Open Houses are being held on Saturday, March 7th and Sunday March 8th from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.

Low body mass index (BMI) is a well-documented risk factor for future fracture. The aim of this study was to quantify this effect and to explore the association of BMI with fracture risk in relation to age, gender and bone mineral density (BMD) from an international perspective using worldwide data. We studied individual participant data from almost 60,000 men and women from 12 prospective population-based cohorts comprising Rotterdam, EVOS/EPOS, CaMos, Rochester, Sheffield, Dubbo, EPIDOS, OFELY, Kuopio, Hiroshima, and two cohorts from Gothenburg, with a total follow-up of over 250,000 person years. The effects of BMI, BMD, age and gender on the risk of any fracture, any osteoporotic fracture, and hip fracture alone was examined using a Poisson regression model in each cohort separately. The results of the different studies were then merged. Without information on BMD, the age-adjusted risk for any type of fracture increased significantly with lower BMI. Overall, the risk ratio (RR) per unit higher BMI was 0.98 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97–0.99) for any fracture, 0.97 (95% CI, 0.96–0.98) for osteoporotic fracture and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.91–0.94) for hip fracture (all p <0.001). The RR per unit change in BMI was very similar in men and women ( p >0.30). After adjusting for BMD, these RR became 1 for any fracture or osteoporotic fracture and 0.98 for hip fracture (significant in women). The gradient of fracture risk without adjustment for BMD was not linearly distributed across values for BMI. Instead, the contribution to fracture risk was much more marked at low values of BMI than at values above the median. This nonlinear relation of risk with BMI was most evident for hip fracture risk. When compared with a BMI of 25 kg/m2, a BMI of 20 kg/m2 was associated with a nearly twofold increase in risk ratio (RR=1.95; 95% CI, 1.71–2.22) for hip fracture. In contrast, a BMI of 30 kg/m2, when compared with a BMI of 25 kg/m2, was associated with only a 17% reduction in hip fracture risk (RR=0.83; 95% CI, 0.69–0.99). We conclude that low BMI confers a risk of substantial importance for all fractures that is largely independent of age and sex, but dependent on BMD. The significance of BMI as a risk factor varies according to the level of BMI. Its validation on an international basis permits the use of this risk factor in case-finding strategies.

You start to listen the night creatures around,the sky changing to another collor,the air gets cold,time to start a new kind of expedition,the meeting with the new inhabitants,the ones who slept during the day trips!
Night Safary
This is simple and you can do it by yourself...but a good guide is all! So you just get on the Transpantaneira and drive with a big light and you look for wildlife. We had the luck of doing a night safari with Marcelo which was really great in spotting animals! We saw crab-eating foxes (which he could make come very close to the truck), raccoons, deers, a river otter and a anteater scrolling around....
We did it also with our car at night and we saw a tapir. The fact is the most animals are nocturnal and if you are very lucky you can spot a jaguar or an ocelot...well, we haven't been lucky enough!!
In the Pantanal the only nightlife you have is the nightlife you create. We sat around a fire and had drinks. You are in the middle of the jungle and wetlands so there is nowhere else to go. It's great!
Not much nightlife here
In the pantanal about the only nightlife is the company of other guests and the staff at the pousada bar. While the conversation is often entertaining, most people turn in by 11PM due to the fact that the best wildlife viewing takes place in the early morning and that is what the people are there for.
nothing but...
...midnight bath in one of the lakes close to the camp, enjoying the absolutely quietness under the light of the stars of Pantanal!

WordPress version: 3.4.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.2.5
I did this: enabled wp_debug
I expected the plugin to do this: throw no errors
Instead it did this: threw errors
On /admin/class-metabox.php:1366 get_children() is called with an attribute that cause some errors. get_children() shouldn't be called with
'fields' => 'ids'.
This is in fact a WordPress eroor, as get_children(), wich uses get_posts(), doesn't verify if get_posts() returns an array of objects or an array of ids, and it expects an array of objects. This will cause a cascade of errors.
Fix: just change get_children() with get_posts(). :)

Due to Tropical Storm Isaac, South Alabama has moved their season-opener against UTSA to Saturday, Sept. 1 at 1 p.m. CT. The game was initially slated for Thursday night.
"After long consideration of numerous factors impacting the game, the logical decision is to move the game to Saturday," Erdmann said. "We encourage our fans to come out, enjoy a great football game and support the Jaguars."
The game, which is slated to be broadcast exclusively by ESPN3, will be the first for both South Alabama and UTSA at the FBS level. UTSA will play in the WAC this season before moving to Conference USA in 2013. South Alabama is a member of the Sun Belt Conference, but will not be eligible for the conference title or a post-season bowl game until the 2013 season.
Last season, South Alabama defeated UTSA 30-27 in double-overtime at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Other games that could be affected by the storm include North Texas at LSU and Louisiana Tech vs. Texas A&M. LSU's game is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. CT at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Yesterday, LSU Director of Athletics Joe Alleva said "at this time we are planning to hold the game at 6 p.m. on Saturday as scheduled."
Louisiana Tech and Texas A&M are set to meet at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, LA. Tech athletics director Bruce Van De Velde hopes to make a "definitive decision" on the status of their game this afternoon.
We will keep you posted on any date changes or cancellations for football games due to Isaac.
Imagine! Playing a college football game on a Saturday. Gee whiz.
Thanks for including the link to the map. Damn, it looks like once again New Orleans will be hit the hardest. I wonder what this could mean for Tulane?
Better get your act together, FEMA.
Tulane relocated to Birmingham, AL in order to practice. They're monitoring the situation hour by hour, but as of right now the game is still on.
Want this be South's 1st game at the FBS level too?
Louisiana TECH vs. A & M

The great fact is the episodes are so incredibly random, yet they still happen to pull through and manage to be completely hilarious, without losing the viewers attention because of the entire random factor... So read the rules and have fun posting... about the sheer random-ness that is Robot Chicken!

Ben 10
Cartoon Network (ended 2008)
Upon discovering a mysterious device known as the Omnitrix, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson is bestowed with the power to change into
10 different alien heroes. Each alien hero has its own unique and awesome powers. Although Ben now has the added responsibility to protect others and fight evil forces, he still manages to find time for some mischief and fun!
Character Bios
Heat Blast - Comes from an alien race that lives on the sun rather than a planet. He can project bolts of fire from his hands and mouth, and create fireballs that he can either throw or roll. He also has the ability to absorb flames and heat, meaning he can put out a fire just as quickly as he starts one.
Powers/Strengths - Fireballs, absorption of heat/fire.
Weaknesses - Excess water.
Debut Episode - "
And Then There Were 10
Wildmutt - More animal than humanoid, he is a beastly alien with superhuman athletic abilities, and heightened senses of smell, hearing, and taste. He can also fire the quills on his back as projectiles with incredible accuracy. Even though he has no eyes, his lack of vision is supplemented by his hearing and smell, which works almost as well as actual vision (which appear as red figures against a green backdrop). Wildmutt cannot communicate verbally, but can growl, grunt, and make other similar noises.
Powers/Strengths - Sharp quills, athletic ability, heightened senses of smell, hearing, and taste.
Weaknesses - No sound or smell in surrounding areas.
Debut Episode - "
And Then There Were 10
Diamond Head - He's a crystalline alien whose body is harder than diamond, making him invulnerable to most physical attacks and allowing him to cut and slash through almost anything. He can also use his body to refract light and beam based weapons.
Powers/Strengths - Razor-sharp diamond shards, can refract light/beam-based weapons, ability to morph certain parts of his body into extremely sharp tools/weapons.
Weaknesses - Sonic-based attacks/weapons.
Debut Episode - "
And Then There Were 10
XLR8 - As the name states (pronounced like "accelerate"), he's a lizard-like alien that has the power to manipulate friction in order to gain acceleration, allowing him to move at incredible speeds. He may be fast, but he is not very strong compared to the other alien forms.
Powers/Strengths - Super speed (300 mph), able to manipulate friction, ability to run on almost any surface.
Weaknesses - Magnetic-based attacks/weapons.
Debut Episode - "
And Then There Were 10
Grey Matter - At a mere five inches tall, he's part of an alien race bred to enter complex machines and repair them from the inside. Consequently, he can squeeze through extremely small spaces. He's extremely smart, which gives Ben a boost in intelligence when he's in this form.
Powers/Strengths - Enhanced intelligence, ability to squeeze through small spaces, slimy skin allowing him to climb virtually anything.
Weaknesses - Strength-based opponents/enemies.
Debut Episode - "
Washington B.C.
Four Arms - At 12-feet tall, he's an alien of extraordinary strength, and can jump high distances. Unfortunately, due to his body mass and his agility is declined and he is very clumsy.
Powers/Strengths - Super strength, armored skin, ability to create sonic waves when all four hands are clapped at once.
Weaknesses - Extremely quick opponents/enemies.
Debut Episode - "
Washington B.C.
Stinkfly - He's a winged, insectoid alien and expert flier, able to pull off amazing acrobatic moves in midair. He can also take care of himself in flight, using his pincers and tail as weapons, as well as shooting slime from his eye-stalks. Much like Earth insects, he also has a tough exoskeleton, but very thin wings.
Powers/Strengths - Acrobatic flight, six pincer legs, very sharp tail, slime-shooting eye-stalks.
Weaknesses - Poisonous gases and water.
Debut Episode - "
Washington B.C.
Ripjaws - This aquatic alien form is an extraordinary swimmer since he can breathe underwater and change his legs into a long tail with fins. He's remarkably fast and agile in the water and can fight with his claws or unhinge his powerful jaws to deliver a devastating bite.
Powers/Strengths - Underwater breathing, agility; powerful jaws and sharp claws.
Weaknesses - Dry land.
Debut Episode - "
The Krakken
Upgrade - A biomechanical alien with liquid metallic skin and a system of organic "circuits." He has the ability to merge with any technology and bring it to life with enhanced abilities.
Powers/Strengths - Positronic energy blasts, ability to merge with and upgrade technology.
Weaknesses - Corrosives (acids) and electromagnetic energy.
Debut Episode - "
Permanent Retirement
Ghostfreak - A shadowy, phantom-like alien that has the ability to phase through solid objects, such as walls, and become invisible at will. Ghostfreak also exhibits limited telepathic and telekinetic abilities. He only has one eye, but can position it almost anywhere on his body by moving it along a track traced on his skin.
Powers/Strengths - Intangibility, invisibility, flight, telepathy, and telekinesis.
Weaknesses - Direct light.
Debut Episode - "

It started when an alien device did what it did And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid Now he's got super powers, he's no ordinary kid He's Ben 10!
So if you see him you might be in for a big surprise He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes He's tiny, creepy, fast, and strong, he's every shape and He's Ben 10!
With all new powers, he's on the case Fighting off evil from earth or space He'll never stop till he makes them pay 'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day He's Ben 10!

The Flintstones
ABC (ended 2001)
The Flintstones was a parody on modern suburban life, set in the Stone Age. The characters in the cartoon series
all behaved and spoke in a contemporary manner, though they lived in the prehistoric city of Bedrock. Fred worked as operator of a dinosaur-powered crane at Rock Hard & Quarry Cave Construction Co. (slogan: "Own Your Own Cave and Be Secure"). Around their split-level cave the Flintstones enjoyed such conveniences as Wilma's Stoneway piano, a hi-fi on which Fred could play his "rock" music (it consisted of a turntable and a bird with a long beak to serve as a needle), a vacuum cleaner (a baby elephant with a long trunk), and an automatic garbage disposal unit (a famished buzzard stashed under the sink). Their car, which sported tail fins, also came equipped with steamroller wheels--to smooth out the rocky road. Then one day in 1963 they were blessed with a baby daughter, whom they named Pebbles. Not to be outdone, their neighbors the Rubbles adopted an orphan boy named Bamm Bamm. (The two kids later had a Saturday morning cartoon series of their own, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm.) The Flintstones was always as much adult satire as children's fun. In many respects it resembled Jackie Gleason's popular Honeymooners, especially in the relationships of the principals. A wide range of caricatures passed through the stories: Lollobrickida, a pretty cook; Ann-Margrock, whose voice was supplied by Ann-Margret; attorney Perry Masonry (he never lost a case); Ed Sullystone, a TV host; Eppy Brianstone, a teenage impresario; and Weirdly and Creepella Gruesome, the strange couple who with their son Goblin moved into a cave nearby (this was a parody on The Addams Family and The Munsters, then popular). The Gruesomes thought that they were normal, and everyone else in Bedrock was odd. The Flintstones and its spin-offs had a highly successful run on Saturday mornings--on NBC from January 1967-September 1970, on CBS from September 1972-January 1974, back on NBC from February 1979-September 1984, and on ABC with The Flintstone Kids from September 1986-September 1989. This series has also many movies and specials (about 10 specials). Some of them are:"A Flintstones Christmas Carol", a flintstones version of the famous Charles Dickens book, "A Flintstones Christmas" where Fred replaces Santa Claus (Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are speaking now), "I Yabba Dabba Do" where Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are grown up and get married, and "Holly-Rock-a-bye Baby" where Pebbles gives birth.

Tom and Jerry
CBS (ended 1980)
Tom and Jerry was originally the very first, and earliest of the Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. It went through many phases and
took place from anywhere from inside a house, to anywhere in outer space. The show was of course, about a cat and a mouse, and several other characters. The two never really talked, even though they do sing, yell, gasp, laugh, count, or say "Aha!!"; and that several other characters spoke more often. They would later end up in several TV series, and also in a few movies, however many would say that they didn't like the way the movies turned out. All of the episodes were distributed by MGM. Here's more info about the show in general:
Pilot Episodes
: The Pilot Episode was called "Puss Gets The Boot" and was also the first one with Mammy in it. Tom looked very different and was called Jasper. It was produced by Harman-Ising Productions.
Fred Quimby
: Fred Quimby was the Producer of Tom & Jerry for many years. He is also the Producer of Tex Avery's Cartoons. Tom's fur would eventually become blue.
: These cartoons had more people in them. There were narrators, and many conversations between the adults. Lewis Marshall became an Animation Director, and Hanna-Barbera were the Producers.
: Only seeing the older Tom & Jerry cartoons, and not having enough information on the show, Ted Pierce, Gene Deich, and William L. Snyder and the rest of the crew had trouble in producing their episodes of Tom & Jerry.
Sib Tower 12 Incorporated
: One of the last producers of Tom & Jerry, this version has the famous opening with the yellow background and the red letters (except for the 5 letters O and J) where Tom hisses and Jerry waves. The producer was Chuck Jones, and the cartoons look ahead of their time. There were several new characters, including a yellow bulldog, and Tom's Girlfriend, The Shark, Jerry's Dog, and several robots where Tom was a security operator at a cheese mine. Other people that worked on the show were Les Goldman, Maurice Noble, Michael Maltese, Tom Ray, Earl Jonas, Lewis Marshall, Eugene Poddany, Bill Lava, Dean Elliott, Carl Brandt, Mel Blanc, June Foray, Abe Levitow, Ben Washam, Don Foster, and Walter Bien. They would later do several Dr. Seuss cartoons along with Depatie-Freeling Entertainment, the Cricket seties, Duck Dodgers, and many other Award Winning shows.
: Many years later, Filmation attempted to produce Tom & Jerry. It was a TV show called The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show. It seemed to look like all the Tom & Jerry cartoons in the 1950s and 1960s. They also aired and produced some other MGM cartoons, like the ones that are directed by Tex Avery. The episodes of The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show are mentioned here.
The New Tom and Jerry Show
The Tom and Jerry Kids Show
: HB's TV versions. Neither lasted long, but several people still remember Them. They weren't that violent either. They were about the characters trying to solve everyday problems. Tom & Jerry Kids had other charachers as kids that were also produced by Fred Quimby, Including Tex Avery's Cartoon Characters.
: Tom & Jerry was recently produced by AOL Time Warner and Turner Home Entertainment. They aren't the best cartoons.
Tom and Jerry is currently airing on Cartoon Network! Check your local listings! Every episode of Tom & Jerry can be seen on Cartoon Network and Boomerang for one hour, and also The Sib Tower 12 Inc Cartoons can be seen with The Chuck Jones Show.

Noggin (ended 2006)
Described by Doug Thomas of Amazon.com as "a little more hip than Little Bear and a little less talky than
Arthur," Franklin is a delightful cartoon about Franklin Turtle, his family and his many friends. Although Franklin is a turtle, he's like any kid his age. He attends school, enjoys playing with his friends and likes to try new things on his own, although sometimes he still he needs some help from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Turtle. He has a goldfish named Goldie and a stuffed dog named Sam. There have been a few changes to Franklin throughout its run, including the introduction of a new opening sequence and the introduction of Franklin's baby sister. There were also a few cast and crew changes. However, the important things stayed the same. The program so far has aired six seasons, as well as a direct-to-video movie, Franklin and the Green Knight and two other direct-to-video releases. Additionally, a Franklin CD was released: Hey, It's Franklin, which contains the show theme song, music from Franklin and the Green Knight and music from the retired touring Franklin show, Franklin's Big Adventure. A number of Franklin television stories are also available as books, including some never broadcast on television. The show still continues today --- check the guide and further below for more details. Franklin is based on a series of books by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark and many episodes of the program are based directly on original Franklin stories. Others that were originally written for television were later released in book form. Franklin airs daily on Noggin cable/satellite. Noggin shows the program two times a day, including weekends. The showtimes are 11 A.M. and 5P.M. eastern time every day. Noggin seems to show episodes in no particular order, so check listings if you want to know what you're recording/watching. Check local listings for showtimes in your area. Also, check stores, Amazon.com, or your local library for videos and DVDs of classic episodes of Franklin. In Canada, Franklin is shown on Treehouse TV and perhaps still on CBC. Check listings for more details or if you live in another country, as the show airs elsewhere as well. On March 15, 2004, Noggin premiered the movie Franklin and the Green Knight on U.S. television. They then aired the fifth season of the program, which previously had aired only on Canada's Family Channel and more recently in other foreign markets. Airdates listed in the guide for the first four seasons reflect Nickelodeon airdates, airdates listed for the fifth season reflect Noggin airdates, although these episodes originally premiered several years earlier on Canada's Family Channel. Franklin's sixth season has aired on Treehouse TV and then repeated on the CBC. Special thanks to Jaden2 - her help has been invaluable in getting information on the sixth season up. For those in the United States, some episodes of the sixth season are now airing in repeats. The film Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure is also now available on DVD.

Kim Possible
Disney Channel (ended 2007)
Disney's smash hit
Kim Possible
is focused on the everyday life of a high school teen. Kim Possible has to
find a balance with everything school related, and battling super villains on a regular basis. Of course, all heroes need a wisecracking, clumsy partner. Kim is no exception. The comic relief of the heroic duo, Ron Stoppable, is always there for Kim, though his pet and second best friend Rufus, the naked mole rat, is always there to help out the duo when the going gets rough. The series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing - Live Action and Animation.
Character Guide
Kim Possible
: High school cheerleader by day, crime fighter by. . . well, day as well. She still has to be home by curfew, after all. Kim has no secret identity, which makes her that much more of a hero in that people can relate to her and don't seem to make a big deal out of it, mostly at her insistence. Her fiery red hair is a symbol of her attitude that is best summed up by the phrase, "I can do anything." She is stubborn, strong-willed, and has a fuse shorter than a grenade with a three second delay. Despite all of this, however, she is extremely humble, refusing to take credit for her truly amazing actions.
Ron Stoppable
: Kim's best friend, partner, and in fourth season boyfriend. His nonconformist "never be normal" philosophy is applied to all facets of his life, and he has taught Kim a thing or two about peer pressure. He takes great pride in eating, and is the proud inventor of the Naco. Unlike Kim, who refuses to take credit for her actions, Ron is, as Kim puts it, "prone to big-headiness." While he's a bit of a glory hound, he always shares it with Kim (often to her chagrin) instead of soaking up the limelight. His unwavering devotion to Kim is simultaneously his greatest strength and his greatest weakness, for while it is the trait that makes her take notice of him, it also leads to her taking him for granted more often than not.
Dr. Drakken
: For a supergenius, Theodore "Drew" P. Lipsky aka Dr. Drakken is pretty stupid. He has the brains to come up with some great ideas, but he lacks the patience it takes to iron out all the kinks and get his inventions fully functional. If it wasn't for Shego, he would have been out of the villain game a long time ago.
: Essentially Kim's dark reflection. Both are smart, athletic, attractive, not to mention they both have green eyes. The only difference is that Shego has raven black hair as opposed to Kim's auburn locks, and the fact that she chooses to use her powers for evil rather than good. And boy, does she have powers. Her fiery personality is illustrated perfectly in her ability to encapsulate her hands in green plasma, as well as shoot these bursts of plasma at whomever she chooses. Shego takes great pride in sidelining Drakken's megalomaniacal ranting with the occasional snide remark and attempts to act as the voice of reason but fails utterly because Drakken is, well, insane. Why exactly she sticks around other than that is uncertain, but it may have to do with some feelings that may forever go unexplored.
: As Kim's gadget guy and operator of her website, Wade is an invaluable addition to Team Possible. Despite only being 13, he holds several PhDs and can type at over 300 words per minute. He is a genius at all things technical, and proves invaluable as a support operator. He would be world renowned if he ever left his room, but the fact that he has only left it once shows signs that Wade suffers from agorophobia, the fear of going out into public.
Mr. Dr. Possible
: As a rocket scientist, he's a living analogy for intelligence. He views women as equals with their own opinions rather than as underlings to be ordered around, and for this reason he is a great father to Kim and lets her live her own life, but he has letting go issues. He just can't handle the fact thas someday somebody will take away "his" Kimmie-cub, who will forever remain four to him. But with Kim now dating Ron, he'll have to let go sooner or later.
Mrs. Dr. Possible
: Top brain surgeon and mother to Kim, Mrs. Dr. Possible has yet another analogy attached to her name. She is essentially Kim all grown up. Smart, independent, attractive, and not afraid to have a little fun, the Possible matriarch is a little more lenient than her husband, but she still enforces the rules when they truly matter.
Jim & Tim Possible
: Kim's twin brothers or "Tweebs" as she calls them. They are super smart, but they use their intelligence more to annoy their sister than anything else. Despite the annoyance that they can be, twin supergeniuses can be quite useful on a mission.
: If Shego is Kim's dark reflection, then Bonnie is Kim's polar opposite. Her stuck up, pessimistic, OCD, holier-than-thou attitude makes her the typical cheerleader. She makes it her mission to make Kim's social life miserable, but ends up failing most of the time.
: Essentially a guidance counselor in the form of an African American teen. "Wise beyond her years" is the understatement of the century when it comes to Kim's best female friend. She has the uncanny ability to identify the source of and solution to other people's problems, which means she'll make an excellent therapist some day. Like Kim, Monique stands up for herself and refuses to let herself be controlled, earning a steady salary as a salesgirl at Club Banana. She is also an avid wrestling fan, which gives her and Ron something in common.

Released: Nov 01st, 2000
Running Time: 96
Company: New Sensations
Cast: Meiyu, Dillion Day, Erik Everhard, Dominica Leoni, Bailey (I), Bolivia Samsonite, Aurora Snow
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Reach me over that cigarette and line this up with the others in the series. Fresh meat, y'all.
Young porn queens of the fresh and all-natural Gen X variety do a little tease footage in plaid skirts and crisp white blouses, then avail themselves of the business end of Dillion Day or Erik Everhard. The schoolgirl accoutrement stays on (skirts pushed up around hips, those little socks), and there's much distressed and winsome looking straight into the camera during the proceedings. (Hooray for the era of the thorough and lingering identification of performers! Your customers and new fans will be so pleased.)
Top of class is newbie Aurora Snow, who also gets the box cover; her Mona Lisa smile, long pigtails, soft body and quiet, naughty willfulness make her scene with D.D. a repeater. Also extra-pretty: Meiyu.

Oscar winner Halle Berry goes direct to VOD with 'Dark Tide'
It's been almost exactly ten years since Halle Berry picked up a best actress Oscar, and she's celebrating the anniversary with the release of the Video on Demand thriller "Dark Tide." Fans hoping she's primed for another statuette will be disappointed that the film's new poster and trailer make it look like pure schlock.
Directed by John Stockwell (who's still stuck in the ocean after making "Blue Crush" and "Into the Blue"), "Dark Tide" depicts the lives of thrill seekers who dare to go in the water and swim with great whites.
The poster looks like the VHS cover of a some sort of straight-to-video thriller starring Lance Henriksen and Kari Wuhrer from the mid '90s. The trailer's not much better, but it does offer some great white carnage and a few glimpses of the eternally sexy Berry in a bikini:
With the exception of her supporting turns in the "X-Men" films, Berry's career has been floundering ever since her well-desevered Oscar win for 2001's "Monster's Ball." Although solid in the largely unseen "Things We Lost in the Fire," Berry's been dogged by such critical flops as "Catwoman" and "Gothika, and she's tried several times to resuscitate her stardom, including her Oscar wannabe "Frankie and Alice," and a comeback attempt in last year's critically reviled allstar film "New Year's Eve," in which she has hardly any screentime.
"Dark Tide" is unlikely to reverse the trend. Her next big film, the Wachowski's ambitious and wholly strange-sounding "Cloud Atlas" could put her back on the A-list, if audiences can wrap their heads around the film's quirks.
"Dark Tide" is available on demand March 8, followed by a limited theatrical run March 30. Last year's "Trespass," starring Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage, received similar treatment, going to DVD and VOD just two weeks after suffering through a dismal 10-theater run that scraped up around $24,000.
Here's the "Dark Tide" poster:

From Booklist
"Michel Houellebecq is the most interesting, provocative and important European novelist of my generation. Period. No one else comes close. He has written two or maybe three great books, and his latest, The Map and the Territory, is one of them." –Bret Easton Ellis
"A serious reflection on art, death, and contemporary society, The Map and the Territory is a tour de force….It is part crafty page-turner, part sociological inquiry, part satire, part mystery novel, part artist's biography. In its seamless collage of artful pastiche, the novel captures with perfect irony the tone and texture of twenty-first-century discourses, from Wikipedia articles to operating instructions, from tacky pop songs to pompous art reviews in Le Monde. In the process, it offers original insights into the museumification of contemporary France, the eerie coincidence between art and death, an exegesis of socialist writer William Morris, and meditation on art as a practice, a produce, and a business." – Cecile Alduy, The Los Angeles Review of Books
"Deeply amusing… A book of supreme importance, this is not to be missed." —Library Journal
"Deadpan funny... A brilliantly astute work of social critique." —Publishers Weekly
"A revelation for all who follow the controversial French novelist, whether they love him or loathe him.... Here he achieves a richness and resonance beyond his previous work ... a tender romance, a meditation of the function and value of art and a police procedural.... Very smart, very moving and occasionally very funny." —Kirkus (starred review)
"A trenchant, sharp-tongued social commentator.... What kept me reading is Houellebecq'a scratchy, uncomfortable mind, his catalogue of hatreds and aversions, and the flurries of inventiveness and invective they inspire." – Laura Kipnes, Bookforum
Praise from the UK:
"Beautifully, accurately translated.... Accessible and highly enjoyable. If ever there was a novelist for our globally dysfunctional times it's Michel Houellebecq.... Long cast aside as the bad boy of books, [his] latest novel has seen him brought in from the cold, and embraced by the literary establishment for what he's always been – not much short of a genius." —The Mirror (4-star book of the week)
"One of the most important facts about Michel Houellebecq...is that he is a first-rate prose stylist….This novel was awarded the Prix Goncourt in 2010 and now, as it finally arrives in English in a finely nuanced translation by Gavin Bowd, it does not disappoint....Teasing and entertaining.... A page turner." —Literary Review
"Very likely his best [book] ever, a serious novel about aging and death that also employs its author's trademark lugubrious wit towards some delicious exercises in satire and self-parody.... A challenging, mature and highly intelligent book." —The Daily Telegraph
"This is the brilliant and controversial French writer's most intellectually ambitious book.... Funny, astonishing and authoritative." —The Guardian
"A dark master of invention.... In a world of copycatting and fakery, Michel Houellebecq is an exceptional writer and a stand-out original." —Evening Standard
"An astonishing writer.... The Map and the Territory is funny, shocking, brutal and unbearably poignant.... Sublime." —Scotland on Sunday
"All novelists everywhere have benefited from [Houellebecq's] audacity. Like Flaubert with Madame Bovary, Lawrence with Lady Chatterley's Lover or William Burroughs with Naked Lunch, his temerity has recharged the form and reminded people what the novel can do and what latent, incendiary power it has at its disposal." —The Sunday Times
"A great read.... A wonderfully strange and subversive enterprise." —The Guardian

Miami, Dec 6 (EFE).- Latin American art needs no passport at Art Basel Miami Beach, where once again it has landed in force at prestigious galleries and with a lineup of creators who fascinate the art market here and attract avid collectors.
The 22nd edition of the most important art fair in the Americas kicked off Thursday for the general public with the presence of 258 galleries from 31 countries and some 2,000 artists, including an overwhelming presence of Ibero-American creators.
"There's tremendous interest in Latin American artists, and we have important retrospectives of some whose works are exhibited at international museums and who have won prestigious prizes," Marc Spiegler, director of Art Basel Miami Beach, told Efe on Friday.
Galerie 1900-2000 is exhibiting a wide-ranging retrospective with 16 drawings by artist, writer and gallery owner Marius de Zayas (1880-1961), a kind of "human comedy" with works like "Bombita (bullfighter) a Portagayola," "Mr. Alfred Vanderbilt as Coachman," "Portrait de Femme" and more.
Another key artist present at the show is Colombia's Danilo Dueñas, 57, with his imaginative installations notable for an aesthetic bordering on readymades, artistic modifications of everyday manufactured objects.
Names like 39-year-old Teresa Margolles, with her disturbing references to violence and social unrest in her native Mexico, on show at the contemporary art gallery Labor, signify a steely censure of "what is inhuman about relations in our overpopulated contemporary societies," the gallery owner said.
