All Work and New Plays
People in New York and Los Angeles are used to getting the first look at a new play they open almost daily. But here, where people are lucky to get the opportunity to see an art film before it comes out on DVD, it's a pretty remarkable event.
Phoenix Theatre's 5th Annual New Works Festival is premièring four new plays in staged-reading format starting this Friday, July 19. The first in the festival lineup is a musical called The Quiltmaker's Gift. Written by Phoenix Theatre's Cookie Company director Alan J. Prewitt, The Quiltmaker's Gift is the first stage adaptation of the New York Times best seller of the same name.
Like an advanced rehearsal, a staged reading features actors with scripts in hand but don't let that fool you into thinking they don't know what they're doing.
Phoenix Theatre's New Works Festival
Little Theatre, 100 East McDowell
Opens Friday, July 19, at 7:30 p.m. Shows run through August 10, on Friday and Saturday nights, with a new show each week. Guests are encouraged to make reservations, as seating is limited and usually sells out. For reservations call 602-254-2151.
"These are professional actors, and we handpick them," says the festival's resident playwright and co-producer Richard Warren. The actors are given four days to work with the director and playwright before the show opens. They rehearse from Monday to Thursday, and the readings occur Friday and Saturday nights.

TicketsThu., Oct. 27, 6:00pm
The purpose of the workshop process is to perfect the play and let the playwrights see how it works in the hands of actors. "If we do it right, by Saturday night, their play is better," says Warren. He also claims it's not uncommon for a playwright to rewrite the play within the workshop process even the day before the play opens. Good thing the actors still have their scripts.
Other plays in the festival are Jack Heifner's China Dolls; Darwin's Captain, by Bill Bruehl; and Bunny & Bird, by Warren.

Basic Omelette
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 2 mins
This is a very simple omelette for one. If you are going to add any fillings, make sure to prepare them ahead of time. Feta cheese and dill is a favourite of mine.
Ingredients Nutrition
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk.
- Add some salt and pepper, if you like, but do not add any water, milk, or any other liquids.
- Heat the oil or butter in a 9-inch non-stick frying pan and pour in the eggs.
- In the first 30-seconds of cooking, use a spatula to create 6-10 small cuts through the omelette.
- This allows the uncooked egg on the top to flow down to the bottom of the pan.
- When the top is nearly set, sprinkle any fillings over half of the omelette and turn off the heat.
- Don't worry if some of the egg in the very centre isn't quite set, because the ambient heat will soon cook it.
- Use your spatula to flip one half of the omelette over the other and serve immediately.

This was great! So easy to make, thanks for sharing.
MY first time, ever, making omelettes & it was perf. you're the reason I'm signing in to this page.
I always wanted to know how to make an omelette, but I messed it up the first time I tried to make it using a different recipe than this one. I tried this one and they came out perfectly. Making the small cuts in the egg was a handy tip. I added cheese, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms and they were delicious! I have now gained my confidence back and will definitely make them again. Thank you for making such a quick and easy recipe available to us.

I purchased this for my a Birthday gift for my spouse last year and it was super simple to connect, and use. It works on Skype, so we can view the camera from anywhere. We have a huge piece of property and I was afraid that the signal would dilineate from the extra cameras we purchased and placed by the mailbox, along the driveway, in the back yard, garage, arbor, etc. This thing is the best!! You can cycle 4 cameras directly onto the monitor that comes with it. You can set up the system so you can even view it on your cell phone using Skype. It comes with a memory card, and the cameras have a microphone/speaker on them, so I can talk to people at our front gate before opening it. I have recommended this to a number of friends. A very good purchase...and a GREAT gift!
Very easy to use. All you have to do is unbox it and attach the base (with included screws) to any wall surface, inside or out. The infra red works great at night so you can see who is at your door if it's dark. The monitor can be placed quite a distance from the camera. My camera is outside and the wireless monitor is inside. No problem with the signal going through brick!
I saw the add for the system with one camera, bought it to try and when it got here they had the same system with two camera's at Lorex site cheaper than what I paid for one camera system. Very disappointed, should have been given that option to start with. System works great even tho I had to buy the second camera.
Location: Geneva IL
Opened the box. Put on antennas. Plugged monitor and camera in. And immediately started working simple as that. Picture looks good. Audio sounds good. Night vision works great. Cant beat the price. We installed a new front door that you cant see out of. After researching wireless video intercoms that all got bad reviews. I started searching wireless security cameras and found this. It got great reviews. And we can now see who is at the door and choose to answer it. Or tell any unwanted solicitors to go away and not even have to open the door.
I have had this unit long enough to have 100 degree + temps where it is located. So far the system is working well and I plan to add additional cameras if I have no problems. Have used it with unknown visitors and the communication without opening the door is good. It has met my hopes for usage.
i like the things i can do with the system.i use it to monitor an area i can view &hear remotely.the system has a lot of things you could do record display 4 areas at the same time.i may expand the use with time.
I researched so many surveillance/systems that I had myself doubting that any system would perform well. I finally, out of desperation, purchased the Lorex LW2731 because I couldn't handle reading anymore reviews and just needed to be done. I am so glad that I purchased this system-it is awesome for my needs. I have a small business and want to know when someone enters the building. The motion detector works perfectly for me. It detects quickly and the monitor gives an audible alert. The monitor is excellent because it's always visible from my desk. You can also control the volume of the audible alert-several volume options which is very nice.
I was concerned about setting up the system, so imagine my surprise when I connected the camera to power; then the monitor, turned on the monitor and done. It was the easiest set-up I've ever done for an electronic item. I am very pleased and plan to add an additional camera to watch over the store showroom soon.

Great product. We use the wireless camera for interior monitoring because its easy to move around. We also have an 8 camera/DVR setup around the outside of our home.
Location: Los Angeles, CA
A lot of features for a reasonable price. Picture and audio quality aren't great but are more than ample for residential purposes. Set up is super easy and quick. I ended up returning the 7" model for the 9" (easier viewing in multiple cam mode and most control buttons are in the front vs. having to always access the screen menu to make system changes). I would recommend this to a friend!
Location: Lake Charles, LA
This system is perfect for smaller homes or businesses. The display screen also has a screen saver mode so it looks like a digital picture frame. I found out that there is an intercom feature with this setup after I installed it, and am thrilled as to how well it works. Setup was incredibly easy, and the ability to add three more cameras to the system make it better. The only downfall is the camera's short power chord. The outlets around my home are not placed conveniently enough so I had to make compromises about placement. Otherwise a great system. The night vision and motion detection are also very good.
Location: Denton, TX
This system is so easy to use, my 12 year old son set it up for me! I love the convenience of knowing who is at the front door without having to walk up to it and look out the peep hole. Great deal, worth the price! I would recommend this system!
Location: Vancouver, BC
Great Purchase
Location: El Paso
Location: Fort Worth, TX
The cameras works good and the sound is very good. i love the display monitor. You can move it all over the house and still pickup the wireless signal.
great value, good product!
Everything worked great out of the box and basically just plug it in and you are good to go. The monitor is small but it works fine. The picture quality is not the greatest but it serves its purpose. The cameras pick up the audio just fine too. I like how the monitor will beep if there is activity so I don't have to stare at it to know if someone has walked in the store. I have the cameras probably 50 and 75 ft. away from the monitor and the signal is good. Phones and mobile devices never interfere. All in all if you are looking for a small package to monitor your home or workplace this is a great deal. Would have given 5 stars but the contrast can be a little dark at times, but I am very happy with my purchase.

Kid monitor on steriods
Location: Dover, Delaware
Location: Colorado
I have owned my system for 15 months now. Living in Colorado we have had below 0 temps, hail, rain, snow. My system has performed wonderfully. This has got to be the best security system for the money. I love the wireless connections and the stand alone monitor. The only thing I could want in addition to what I have is additional cameras, (hint hint). I recommend this system to anyone in need of security cameras.

I am satisfied with the product. After a few months, the display unit went white but it was replaced promptly when I sent the system back for repair. In the winter, I have to be careful to aim the cameras so as not to allow an expansive white snow background to throw off the light sensor and reduce the aperture too much and produce a dark image in the foreground. The cameras are on their second winter and seem to be working well in the temperatures encountered here in mid-Michigan. The system was easy to set up and the cameras are very easy to relocate if necessary.

Review Lorex Live SD Wireless System
The Lorex Live SD Wireless System is easy to install and use. The picture is clear during the day and night. The motion detection recording works extremely well without being too sensitive. The cameras' view is wide and each camera picks up a large area. I like the capability of upgrading from a two camera system to four camera system. My only criticism is with the remote. In order to view taped files I have to turn off the monitor and turn it on again. Then the remote will work. Overall the system is really good and has helped to improve the security of our home.
Location: Reidsville, NC
We purchased this system to use in our retail store. It has performed remarkably well for us. I can monitor the counter sales while working in the office. I would highly recommend this product for home or business use.

Location: Durham, NC
Excellent Purchase
This wireless system works great so long as cameras are not too far from monitor or obstructed by structures that block the signal. Pictures are excellent. I like the two-way audio as well as audio monitoring. I use 4 cameras. Good system for the cost. Easy to install. Providing power to cameras works well with extension cords if receptacles are not convenient to length of cord provided with camera.

Not completely trouble free, however

Location: Pflugerville, TX
I bought 2 of these systems...one for my house and one for my mothers house. They are a great system and the setup is very user friendly. The only down fall is you can not remotely log into them.
I love this product to know who is at door before opening it, whether it is worth opening at all.

Wireless monitor works fine for observing individuals entering and leaving.
The 3 second delay before recording can result in loss of filmed activity,
if the camera is set for a narrow range of vision. The alarm on the monitor
to activate when movement is detected is a very good alert system,
especially for the elderly, who do not want to be surprised by individuals
entering their home. All in all, it is a good system, reasonably priced and
films at night as well as daylight

Lorex Live LW2702 Wireless
Better than expected
The motion detection works great, they were easy to install, and I like the fact that there is sound to. They have already deterred some not so welcome neighbours from walking through my yard. I have recommended this set to friends and plan to add two more cameras to my setup. I did order a 16GB card along with them and now I can record for several months without having to worry about running out of space.
Very Nice Product--Easy To Use!
Great Product
Spend some dough, bag a crook
Well, after 2 instances of thievery at my local perish I decided to do something rather than sit on my hands and wait for it to happen again. I reviewed the options and figured I'd run with this product. Install is easy - drive a couple screws into the wall and plug in the cameras. Plug in the base unit, a couple clicks to set date, time and record mode and you're off. Three day later the dumb criminal came back in the dark with his bolt cutters and scumbag girlfriend. Say "CHEESE". They didn't even know it was there. Perfect images of the whole sequence put that loser behind bars.
Pros - good graphic detail. Night images were as good, in b/w. Quick setup and playback. Rest easy knowing you did something at a very reasonable price. Be proactive. At $300, why wouldn't you?
Cons - limited signal range
Business owner
This wireless system is really amazing, very easy set-up, good quality, picture is very clear for the wireless, I will buy one more camera to add for this system

Lorex LW2702 it is the best surveillance system on the market under $250. It's easy to install, very easy to start it up. It is working right out the box. Add a 16GB memory card and you are set for few weeks.
good product
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Works Awesome!
I bought this system because I needed a wireless system for where I planned to put the cameras. I looked at so many other systems but decided on this one. It not only does what it says, it's very easy to fast forward through the recorded video.
Simple and Straight
I know nothing is perfect, but this system is almost perfect. Two things missing on the design:
Battery Powered screen for Cameras
Wireless Range booster
But if you look at the price, they had to compromise, but would not mind, paying a little extra for those features. Overall
Great Product.

Lorex Live LW2702 Review
I ordered this product from Amazon after about 2 years of research & looking for the right cameras for my need. This unit was on sale for about half price & it was an excellent deal. This unit works great as far as range & ease of installation & use. The reception is also good along with the microphone & other features. As far as the clarity, it is good, but it's hard to make out who exactly someone is from about 20 feet away (using full 640 x 480). This unit is highly recommended for the average household & at close range. As stated the picture & color are good, but far away it's hard to make out someone. It's recommended to use a 16GB SDHC card with this unit as it will make recording much better.
Location: Acme, Pa, US
Great Security for a fair price!
Simple system, but excellent if you are looking for small system!
This is not an alarming system it is a video monitoring device, with 2-way audio communication for intercom purposes between selected camera and monitor.
I found that it was an incredible system for $400. The IR (night vision) was outstanding at 30 feet plus.
Keep in mind! Though wireless it does require an outlet nearby to power each camera as well as the monitor. Wireless refers to the video signal, not power.
The monitor is shipped with a SD memory card, which we later purchased a larger capacity "off the shelf" replacement. One drawback I saw with this system is, though you can view all cameras (up to 4 I believe) it will only record to the SD memory card one camera at a time, therefore if you have it set up to record for a long period of time it must complete it's timed cycle before it will start recording again. I can't recall what the time setting you have to choose from, but it's something like 5sec, 15sec, 30sec, 1min, etc.
Example: Let us assume you have set up the system for a 1-Minute recording period. Camera "ONE" detects motion and recording begins from that camera. Now the subject is no longer in view of camera "One" but is in the view of camera "Two". The monitor is still recording from camera "One" until the timer expires. Once the timer expire either camera sensing motion begins a new trigger to record the next session of time. The worst case here if the subject is no longer in view of either camera no further recording will be done. I advise you to do your research before you buy. I started my research directly with the factory where I was able to download manuals ...LorexTechnologies.
Overall this was a very simple system to set up and it worked very well. I left the mounting of the cameras up to my friend.
Rarely can we deter the thieving bastards or the vandalise scum, but you can take their pictures and provide them to the police for paybacks!
Good to go out the box!!!!

Near-excellent little set!
This was an incredibly easy surveillance system to set up. Connect antennae to the cameras, plug cameras in to the wall, Plug LCD monitor into wall, done! Put the included SD card in the LCD monitor for recording, and you're away.
The good:
1) Very, very easy to set up, with a nice little installation card showing you what you need to do.
2) Inclusion of a reasonably-sized SD card (2GB).
3) Solid-feeling cameras.
The not so good:
1) Not particularly high resolution images from the cameras at 640x480. Refresh isn't instant, either, so you're not getting smooth video but rather "frames" of video. This is done to conserve memory on the SD card, I'm sure, and because the wireless system probably can't handle that kind bandwidth.
2) LCD casing feels fairly cheap, though it does the job!
3) Power cables not particularly long, though this is easily solved with an extension cord, of course...
The bad:
1) Despite being touted as indoor/outdoor cameras, they are NOT designed for use in high humidity/wet areas. They need to be kept under cover. This is potentially a deal-breaker for many, I'm guessing.
2) The range on the cameras isn't amazing. For a smaller place, they'll be fine, but others might prefer something with more range.
3) If you lose/break the remote you're kind-of screwed. Pretty much ALL the controls are on it!
4) No way to remotely check the feed if you're out/away from your home/business etc.
Overall, this is a perfectly serviceable set of cameras. Be aware of their limitations and you really wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase!

"I've realized that [younger MMA fighters] now put everything they
have into fighting," the 31-year-old Burkman told Sherdog.com. "You
have to keep yourself in shape between fights. I looked back at my
career and realized that I trained for each fight. I didn't train
to be the best. That's why I got rid of my house, sold a lot of my
stuff and put everything aside and focused on training to be the
best. I wanted to see how good I can be."
Burkman (Pictured, File Photo) was training for a fight at Amazon
Forest Combat 1 in Brazil in September when the injury
"I had a fight scheduled, and the camp really went well," said
Burkman, who owns 13 finishes among his 21 professional wins. "It
was four days out. I was good weight-wise, and everything was right
where I needed it to be, but I got hurt and dislocated my kneecap.
I'd finally put it all together and this happened."
Burkman said he did not immediately realize how badly he was hurt
and instead tried to finish the practice session.
"I was doing some kickboxing, then switched to wrestling and
ground-and-pound drills," said Burkman. "During the
ground-and-pound, my knee started hurting worse than usual. I got
it drained, pushed myself hard at practice the next day and it kept
swelling, so I had to pull out of the fight."
Burkman had torn his patellar tendon and medial retinaculum, in
addition to popping a bursa sac in his knee and straining his
quadriceps muscle. Burkman's orthopedic surgeon hoped to avoid
surgery and instead placed the fighter on a physical therapy
regimen. However, Burkman pushed his rehab too hard and his knee
started to swell, drawing his doctor's ire along with an
"After I had to go see the surgeon again, he gave me one more
chance to keep from having surgery," said Burkman, who holds wins
over Josh
Neer, Drew Fickett
and Chad
Reiner. "That was about three weeks ago. Since then, I've been
resting it and icing my knee. I went and saw the doctor again, and
he was impressed with the progress I'd made. He said surgery wasn't
necessary for now, but if it starts swelling again, I'll need
Instead of viewing his injury as coming at the worst possible time,
Burkman has instead chosen to look on the bright side when it comes
to his forced time off.
"This injury has really mellowed me and helped me see where my
career needs to go," said Burkman. "It's helped me see how good I
might be if I'm really dedicated to the sport. [The injury] has
held me back, but everything happens for a reason, and I still
think I'm going to get a second chance at the UFC."
For now, Burkman must play the waiting game. It is one he is
willing to play to get another chance at fighting in the Octagon.
He last fought in the UFC in October 2008, when he dropped a
unanimous decision to Pete Sell.
"It's a slow process, but I'm getting better every day," said
Burkman. "It'll be another four to six weeks before I can do much
of anything. I've talked to some of the people at the UFC, and they
would like me to get one more win before I can come back. I want to
win another fight, get a UFC contract and show people that I
haven't just been sitting around.
"When fighters get hurt, they talk about coming back better than
ever, but I'm hoping to really show that," he concluded. "But until
I can get back in the gym, I'm just going to keep my knee elevated
and iced and watch some football."

Buzzfeed conducted a(n unscientific) poll of over 300,000 readers on their bathroom habits. Some startling findings: most people pee in the shower, some people take their pants and/or their shirt off to poop, and 21% of respondents have their toilet paper facing the wrong way.

What If Everybody in Canada Flushed At Once? The water utility in Edmonton, EPCOR, published a graph of water consumption last week. By now you've probably heard that up to 80% of Canadians were watching the Olympics gold medal hockey game between Canada and the USA. So, it stands to reason that they'd all go pee between periods.

Peepoo Blue?
Cats have toilets. Dogs have toilets. Even rats have toilets... but according to the World Toilet Organization, 2.5 billion *people* worldwide still do not have access to sanitation. Peepoo (YouTube video), developed by Swedish entrepreneur, architect and professor Anders Wilhemson, is a new biodegradable single-use toilet that could help grow crops (New York Times). A layer of urea crystals in the bag kills off disease producing pathogens and breaks the waste down... into fertilizer. If you prefer patent-free alternatives, Joseph Jenkins offers Humanure. You can get his Humanure Compost Toilet System Instruction Manual (Direct Download PDF) free of charge. All you need is a bucket, cover materials (sawdust, rice husks or coffee grounds) and the knowledge in his handbook. Peepoo or Humanure? Poo decide.

Review: HBO's 'Game of Thrones' an epic, mature, well-crafted fantasy series
HBO put the "It's not TV. It's HBO." slogan into semi-retirement a couple of years ago. It had been around for nearly 13 years, and it was taken out of circulation (or occasionally shortened to just "It's HBO.") during a fallow creative period for the pay cable giant, when it was very hard to argue that the post-"Sopranos" version of HBO was really any different from any other channel.
But at HBO's early '00s creative peak, the slogan wasn't pretentious, but uncannily accurate. Shows like "The Sopranos," "The Wire" and "Deadwood" took stories and worlds that audiences knew to death and made them into something more - something grander in ambition, something richer in execution, something guaranteed to stick with you far longer than previous TV versions of that story had. "The Wire" was a cop show, and "Deadwood" a Western, but both were so much more.
The slogan's gone, but HBO has been mounting a comeback over the last year thanks to new blood like "Treme" and "Boardwalk Empire." Now comes "Game of Thrones" (it debuts Sunday night at 9), the expensive adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire," which is trying to do for the fantasy genre what the classic HBO dramas did for cops, cowboys and wiseguys.
And for the most part, it works - stunningly well.
Where I went into "The Wire" and "Deadwood" with a lot of built-in affection for their respective genres, I've never had much sentimental attachment for fantasy. I love the "Lord of the Rings" movies, but for the most part what gets adapted for movies and television is either laughably cheap-looking, more interested in fetishizing all the stuff about magic and kings and swords than in telling a good story, or both.
"Game of Thrones" is not that. Yes, it takes place in an alternate version of the Middle Ages - in an ancient collection of seven kingdoms where magic may have once existed, but which hasn't been seen in centuries - but it takes its world, its characters, and its stories seriously. There are kings and queens and knights, but they are always treated (by Martin in the books, and by producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss in the show) as people first, titles second.
The titles are important, but only in the sense that nearly everyone is jockeying for the big one: ruler of the seven kingdoms of Westeros. Martin loosely adapted the books' story from England's War of the Roses, and as we enter the world, Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) has been king long enough to acquire a colorful and large rogues gallery of contenders and pretenders for the throne. His wife Cersei (Lena Headey) and her twin brother Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are conspiring behind his back, eager to see Cersei's son Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) take the crown as soon as possible. Viserys Targaryen (Harry Lloyd) and his sister Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), the children of the murdered previous king, live in exile and are trying to amass an army to cross the sea and reclaim their birthright. Each of the king's advisors is running his own individual hustle, and Robert himself is a gluttonous, spiteful drunk.
There are times when it seems the only man in Westeros actually suited to running the place is the one man who doesn't want the job: strong, fair, noble Eddard "Ned" Stark (Sean Bean), Robert's best friend, who controls the northernmost part of Westeros.
Those oddly-spelled names above represent only a small portion of the huge cast of characters in "Game of Thrones." Ned Stark alone has a wife, five legitimate kids, a bastard son, a "ward" and various close friends and advisors, almost all of them getting significant screen time. Yet even though the world is foreign and its people many, "Game of Thrones" isn't any more difficult to unlock than many of its top HBO predecessors.
Friends have been recommending Martin's books to me for a while, but I chose not to read them (for now, at least), wanting to see if the series could stand on its own and be both comprehensible and interesting to a newcomer. And it is. I probably struggled with identifying the members of the Barksdale crew in the early episodes of "The Wire" as much as I did trying to sort out the members of the House of Stark.
These characters all share complicated histories with one another - just as, say, Tony Soprano had pre-existing beefs with Feech La Manna or Richie Aprile - and there are occasions when the show starts to choke on all the exposition required to explain it all. The premiere episode is particularly talky, and Benioff and Weiss might have been better served if they'd chosen to occasionally show some of those past events, rather than just have people stand around and explain them.
But the characters are so richly-drawn, and so wonderfully-played, that the exposition ultimately isn't that great a stumbling block. I wanted to know more about these characters, and within an episode or so was eager for any bit of backstory that helped better clarify all the relationships.
The casting on this is really exceptional, from the well-known actors like Bean (who has the difficult task of making a man largely defined by his goodness not seem dull), Addy (fierce and commanding and completely unrecognizable from either "Still Standing" or "The Full Monty") and Peter Dinklage (having the time of his life as the Lannister twins' clever dwarf brother Tyrion) as well as relative unknowns like Clarke (who makes the virginal Daenerys' growing awareness of her power, sexual and otherwise, into one of the series' strongest ongoing arcs) and Maisie Williams (a delight as Ned's tomboy daughter Arya).
It's a mark of how well-crafted the show is that I didn't find my attention wandering during scenes involving the types of characters who usually put me to sleep on other series, fantasy or otherwise. I usually find bratty, willfully ignorant kids a chore to watch (take Elizabeth Mitchell's "V" son - please), but I found myself understanding (if not particularly liking) Ned's snotty, status-conscious daughter Sansa (Sophie Turner). Ditto the Lannister twins themselves, as I rarely have any interest in the catty scheming types; Headey, Coster-Waldau and the writers make them into three-dimensional, interesting figures.
And even as the series is demonstrating its ample commitment to story and character, it still offers all the nifty visual bells and whistles that you find in abundance in more shallow fantasy stories.
The pilot episode (mostly directed by HBO veteran Timothy Van Patten after an earlier version by Tom McCarthy was largely scrapped) is a feast for the eyes. The different corners of the world all have their own memorable looks: the arctic chill of the giant wall separating Westeros from its primitive, deadly neighbors to the far north; the lazy tropical ambience of the nation's capital; and the mix of seaside beauty and Great Plains simplicity of Daenerys' new homeland. A later episode brings us to the Eyrie, a mountain stronghold that has one of the most diabolically simple fictional prisons I've ever seen.
There's also abundant violence (it's like a masterclass in beheading techniques) and sex (particularly in, but far from limited to, the scenes with Daenerys and her primitive new husband, played by Jason Momoa). It's an adult series in every possible way. But where a comparable show like Starz's new "Camelot" might throw in the nudity just as a lure to get people to watch, the sex scenes in "Game of Thrones" almost always have major narrative value, whether they're establishing a foreign culture or telling us more about a character who plays things close to the vest outside the bedroom.
It's far too early to say whether "Game of Thrones" will ultimately belong in the HBO pantheon, but it has so many things in common with those shows.
Like the best of the HBO dramas, "Game of Thrones" has more on its mind than telling a good story within its chosen genre. In its alternate take on English history, it has a lot to say about the appeal and danger of power, about the never-ending tensions between economic and military forces, and the similarly eternal clash between idealism (Ned's vision of rule) and pragmatism (Robert's).
And like "The Sopranos" and "The Wire," it has one hell of an opening title sequence: a soaring tour through a map of Westeros and its different corners, with each kingdom or garrison rising up from the ground like clockwork toys. Not only does it help orient newcomers like me to this sprawling place, but it says so much about how this world is one incredible playset, first for Martin, and now for Benioff, Weiss and company. It was a place for Martin's imagination to run wild on the page, and now for everyone else (including Martin himself, who wrote one of the later episodes) to bring that imagination to three-dimensional life.
There's so much going on in this series - so many people and places and rules to learn - that I feared I would be completely lost without the books as a roadmap. But as with the cream of the HBO crop, "Game of Thrones" deposits me in a world I never expected to visit and doesn't leave me feeling stranded and adrift, but eager to immerse myself in the local culture.
Alan Sepinwall may be reached at email@example.com
NOTE: Because I haven't read the books, and because I imagine (unless the show is an utter ratings disaster only appealing to the die-hard GRRM fans) more viewers than not will be in my boat, we're going to take the same approach to discussing this show as we have to "The Walking Dead" and many other adaptations. I don't inherently object to discussion of the books, but I also don't want detailed (or really any) plot discussion. (There are plenty of fansites where you can do that at length.) In my weekly episode reviews, we're not going to discuss anything from the books that takes place after the events depicted in that particular episode (and while I know Benioff and Weiss have moved a few pieces around, we're still going to stick to the general timeline). So you can talk about, say, the direwolf cubs after they appear in the pilot, but don't say anything about what they're going to wind up doing in later episodes until we get to those episodes. Got it?

Daily 3-Bet: Robl $1.5m Bond, Dwan Sign Off, DNegs Blowout
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a hilarious boob cake, a loaded confetti gun and one hell of a memorable afternoon poker news birthday bash.
Got a tip or suggestion for a future 3-Bet? Drop a note in the comments and we'll gladly take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find high-stakes regular Andrew Robl posting a $1.5m bond for Macau high roller Paul Phua, Tom "durrrr" Dwan's summer maybe signalling the end of his storied poker fame and Daniel Negreanu has big plans for his 40th birthday celebrations.
1) Robl Posts $1.5m for Phua
One of the stories semi-lost in the World Series of Poker Main Event scramble was that of famed Macau poker high roller Paul Phua.
Phua and a group of eight Chinese and Malaysian nationals were arrested at Caesars Palace in Vegas on July 14 over allegations of an illegal betting operation.
Authorities claim the group was running a bookmaking business out of their Caesars villa and taking bets on the World Cup.
Also arrested in the sting was Phua's son Darren and another high-stakes poker regular, Richard Yong. The Las Vegas Sun reported the FBI linked the group to the 14k Triad, one of Hong Kong's largest crime syndicates.
Arrested in Macau in June for similar charges Phua was ordered to post $2m bail plus put his $48m private jet up as collateral. Given Phua's international history American poker pro Andrew Robl also agreed to put up a $1.5m bond in support of his friend.
Robl's declaration has since been posted in the 2+2 poker forum by poster "gobig."
2) Dwan Moving Further Off Poker Radar?
No big bracelet bets. No more action in his abandoned durrrr Challenge with Jungleman. Barely a blip on the World Series of Poker with just a brief Main Event appearance (and early bustout) to report.
Is this officially the end of the public Tom Dwan era in poker?
Given he (reportedly) spent most of the summer battling a Limit machine at Aria and, we assume, playing only private cash games, it's safe to assume the biggest poker celebrity of the past seven years has no plans to move back into the poker spotlight any time soon.
Given the ho-hum-ness of his last tweet from Vegas, at the very least his visible poker future seems in doubt.
Busted the last hand of the day, maybe next year
— Tom Dwan (@TomDwan) July 8, 2014
3) Negreanu Goes Big for 40th Birthday
Phil Hellmuth went out for pizza with his family in Northern Wisconsin for his 50th birthday this week.
Daniel Negreanu? He's going in the opposite direction for his 40th. If you're in Vegas and anyway related to poker (or not), sounds like one you don't want to miss.
Big 40th Bday coming up and I'm going to do it right @MarqueeLV Beach Club Fri 25th, NightClub Sat 26th. All welcome! pic.twitter.com/z9uRJIspwp

Search for dissertations about: "Mycobacterium tuberculosis symptoms"
Found 4 swedish dissertations containing the words Mycobacterium tuberculosis symptoms.
1. The impact of helminth infection in patients with active tuberculosisUniversity dissertation from Linköping : Linköping University Electronic Press
Abstract : The geographic distribution of helminth infection and tuberculosis (TB) overlap substantially. Experimental animal models and limited data from humans have shown that intestinal helminths could subvert the host immune response towards a T-helper 2 (Th2)-type immune response and an increased regulatory T-cell activity (Tregs).

2. Pulmonary tuberculosis and HIV interaction in a setting with a high prevalence of HIV : Clinical, diagnostic and epidemiological aspectsUniversity dissertation from Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medicine at Huddinge University Hospital
Abstract : The overall aim of this study was to elucidate the influence of HIV infection on the occurrence, clinical presentation, diagnostic yield and transmission of M tuberculosis among consecutive out-patients with symptoms suggestive of PTB in a high TB and HIV endemic area. Among 509 consecutive out-patients attending a university hospital in Ethiopia, 33. READ MORE
3. Pulmonary tuberculosis and pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia in HIV-infected patients in EthiopiaUniversity dissertation from Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medicine at Huddinge University Hospital
Abstract : The objective of this study initially was to determine the prevalence of culture-verified pulmonary tuberculosis in TB suspects and investigate the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on the prevalence, clinical and radiological presentation and diagnosis of tuberculosis. During the study, it soon became clear that the HIV sero-prevalence in tuberculosis (TB) suspects who could not be verified to be culture-positive was too high to deserve an explanation. READ MORE
4. Role of antimicrobial peptides in tuberculosis and respiratory tract infections : clinical and mechanistic studiesUniversity dissertation from Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Dept of Laboratory Medicine
Abstract : Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune system in multicellular organisms. They are mainly expressed in epithelial cells and immune cells, providing the first line of defense against a wide range of pathogens. READ MORE

well my page is more actual now. didn´t work on it for more then enough time. Now I feel free for new adventures
And I have enough time and ideas to draw a lot the next time so...good days
...That´s all
Well..I´m a young artist from the north-west of Germany. I usually prefer to draw animals like felines or canins. Just matters what I´m interested in. Normally I draw traditionall I´m not experienced in digital art. I also prefer to watch traditional art.
There are some photos in my gallary which I took during football matches I visited.
Feel free to ask me for trade or request.
Hm...I think that´s all
