Did anyone in the UK see the documentary about Michael Jackson on Tuesday?
I thought it was really interesting, and was wondering what peoples opinions are about him after seeing it.
Before seeing the show, I really didn't know what to think of him, but when I started watching, I thought that he was at first a gentle, loving and very welcoming man, who was just a bit misunderstood. He did start to get stranger as the show went on, and especially as he was feeding his son, "Blanket".
I don't know what exactly I'm allowed to say on these family forums, but here goes, sorry if I offend anyone:
When he was asked if he shared his bed with children, he said yes, but not in a sexual way. I think I believe him, and that he just can't see why people think that's wrong, even if he doesn't do anything to them. Also I did think that the person interviewing him was very hard, upfront and unsypathetic with his questioning.
I just think that he has never really had a proper life, and was never allowed to be a child, which is bound to affect people's perceptions of what is right and wrong.
All in all, I think that he does have certain mental problems, due to his strange life of being constantly in the limelight, but I don't think he would aver hurt anyone, especially children, he's just over loving, with too much money!
I think that the programme is being shown in the U.S on Thursday 7th February, don't miss it!

Beginnings features works of art from the early years of Federation.
Australia's birth as a nation was the signal for six consecutive weeks of ceremonies and celebrations. On 1 January 1901, half a million people watched processions winding through Sydney streets to Centennial Park where the Proclamation of Australian Unity was read and Ministers of the first Commonwealth Government took the oath of allegiance.
Four months later in Melbourne, the grand ceremony for the Opening of the First Commonwealth Parliament took place. Artists captured the pageantry and opulence of the occasion.
In general the art of this period reflects both a pride in Australian identity and an ongoing respect for the traditions inherited from Britain. It was a golden age for portraiture, and a time when decorative artists produced a distinctive blend of Australiana and Art Nouveau.
In the period leading up to the First World War, the art of portrait painting exhibited a degree of skill and sensitivity that has probably never been bettered in this country. Not only did artists depict statesmen, businessmen and the grande dames of society, there were many intimate portrayals of friends and relatives, self portraits and images of typical Aussies.
The early Federation period was a time of cultural curiosity and a growing sophistication.

Race marks new residential college facilities
Posted September 10, 2009; 10:27 p.m.

As usual, I spent most of the day on Nautilus today. I'm working to make the metadata reading asynchronous, which is funny, since others have proposed moving the metadata code entirely out of Nautilus into GNOME VFS.
This morning, I did a lot of tweaking of our Bugzilla and of other Eazel web pages.
For me, one fun part of Advogato is the business of certifying yourself. I don't care if it has any effect at all. I certified myself as a Master because I am definitely responsible for Nautilus, which we expect to be a major free software program. But it's still in the future, so I feel a tiny bit of "impostor syndrome".
No one I know has noticed me here except Maciej, so I don't have any other certifications.
So far, the people that know me have certified me Master. The people who don't know me -- well I guess they're just judging from my web pages.

Well. Coding on IRM some more. Got some more done with it, Need to work out an Authorization scheme. I know lots of other ppl have gone thru this, just not sure how to go about getting a good way to do this. I want to implement a way to say this guy can do these things, this guy can do these things, etc. and get it out without too many problems.
Viki wrote some great stuff the other day, I put it up on the about page for Quotes. She's great! I laughed my butt off for a long time :P
They are trying to get me to move to the new building tomorrow, I'm going to be a rebel, and stay here until they force me to go. I don't really want to move to the new building, and I really want to get IRM done first. I guess I should just move over, maybe next week :) It's just a lot of stupid work that doesn't do a whole lot for me. In fact I'm losing a phone, a machine or two, etc. I'm not gaining a whole lot. Not even more space, or my own office. Just losing stuff. Talk about a bad deal. At least I'll be close to Sandii and Robin again, they are Great ppl.
Went to the Doctor today and got my blood drawn, hopefully he doesn't come back and tell me I'm gonna die soon :P Hopefully it won't be anything major, been having problems with sugar. Me and Sugar aren't getting along very well, does wacky things to my head/body. Should know more next week.

Han and Leia's kids might not even be named Anakin, Jacen, and Jaina. I wouldn't put it past Lucas.
However, if they slap everyone in the face like that, there might be enough outrage to get it changed.

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
Yes Darth Metalmute, I think there might be an outrage.
Jacen and Jaina Solo, as well as Luke's eventual love interest Mara Jade, were created by "not just any author," but Timothy Zhan in HTTE and the 1991 rebirth of Star Wars after the dark times.
He named the capitol world Coruscant and that stayed for the movies as well.
Also Jacen and Jaina Solo are cool sounding names.
Harvey and Esmerelda Solo are probably not, to most people anyway.
Han and Leia would likely have kids, especially if Harrison and Carrie are reprising their roles as a married couple. (Though there would be a role for a domestic counselor in these pictures with this couple, wouldn't there?)
Anakin Solo was created for Dark Horse comics - and killed off first, since Lucas didn't want books with "an Anakin" out at the same time in PT and OT eras.
Leia named Anakin after her real father as a statement of finally forgiving him and announcing her hope that her son would redeem the name (even if the last name was Solo instead of Skywalker). While that makes sense and the youngest brother was an awesome character in the books (especially the Force Heretic series), having a whole Solo clan running around isn't necessary for a tight story.
And if Han is about 70 and Leia about 60, and she had kids in her later 20's like many do, the kids would now be in their 30's or late 20's.
Luke is supposed to be training a padawan in this movie series according to what George Lucas said. Luke is now surpassing Obi-Wan, who lost his apprentice to the Dark Side. (So hopefully there won't be a repeat of Luke losing his under-study to black armor fashion since it's been done before.)
Luke's apprentices included a whole mix of Force-sensitives,
but Jacen Solo and later Ben Skywalker, seemed to be the ones who followed him most closely.
Mara Jade trained Jaina Solo later on.
Now Ben Skywalker could be 15 years younger than any living member of the Solo Twins.
It could be like Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker in TPM for the first movie, but for the ages of:
LUKE, JAINA, and BEN SKYWALKER.
But I think they'll all have to be a little older than 60, 24, and 9 respectively, and more like 59, 32, and 17 exactly.
So no, Ben Skywalker will not be a little kid saying "Wizards!"
I think this age range works:
Han - 69
Luke - 59
Jaina - 32
Ben - 17
If Alanah Solo is in this, she'd be what, about 8? Jaina's going to have to apprentice her since her folks could be getting too old to take care of a pre-teen grand-daughter.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
ComicBookMovie posted a very interesting video with actor Jason Flemyng, who frequently works with Matthew Vaughn. The talk turns to Star Wars at 1:10, where the reporter asks him about having spoken to Vaughn about Star Wars and he says, "Me and Matt have done nine films together so I'm sure I'll get the call for Star Wars..." When they ask if Vaughn is interested, he gives an "oops" expression and plays up that Vaughn is interested in the deal, but clearly his manner indicates that Matthew Vaughn is at the very least being seriously considered if not already chosen. I'll probably watch X-Men: First Class this weekend thanks to HBO, but I've only heard good things about it, so this could be very cool. (I thought Kick-*** was good but I had issues with the story, which obviously is not Vaughn's fault.)
The reason for him backing out of directing X-Men: Days of Future Past was so that he could work on a project of his own, which seemed to end the speculation of him being the director, but this makes it sound very possible.
You didn't like the script for Toy Story 3? You're one of the few; I imagine Armond White will be pleased to hear he's not alone after all. They probably looked into the scripts that he's completed already, but remember that Kasdan had hardly written anything when he did ESB and Lucas wants to pass it on to a new generation of filmmakers.Originally Posted by JediTricks
Get used to the fact that the movies aren't going to follow the EU at all. If they do take elements from the novels or comics as The Clone Wars does, it can be a pleasant surprise for you, but it's probably not going to happen.Originally Posted by Darth Metalmute
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Until Legacy, I was one of the biggest proponents of the EU.
Now, I think it's time to retire most of it. It can remain in a sort of "pre-Crisis" type of alternate universe, but it leaves no room for new movies.
As long as they can shoehorn Mara Jade in somehow (preferably played by Kelly MacDonald), I'll be happy.
That's my jacket!
Chux, She looks alright as Mara Jade Skywalker.
JabbaJohn, I reserve the right to complain about every contradiction to my precious Expanded Universe.
Just out of curiousity, how would you feel in the event that they kept with it - and with the current OT cast age, had Jacen and Anakin DEAD (er..not in the movie) and Jaina Solo and niece Alanah Solo, with cousin Ben Skywalker as Luke and Mara's son and apprentice - and maybe we saw some Yuuzhan Vong brought to life on the screen - kind of creepy with living creatures all over them, like Davey Jones in POTC2?
The living things on the Vong would be their armor though - Vondom Crab armor - whatever that is. I think you step on a creature and it vacuforms around your foot and shin to form your armored shin gauntlet and boot.
Other stuff is like a thin blob you don, and another parasitic creature forms your chest armor while it feeds off the blob.
The cod piece is....well really painful but the Vong are into that....
And they cut off their face parts etc, so it will also kind of look like The Walking Dead meets Star Wars. Jaina will use her lightsaber like Michonne uses her sword.

That being said, if anyone would implement the current EU into the new trilogies, it would be Disney.

I wanted to make a cameo to say how excited I am about this news, and how it has re-invigorated my love of the Star Wars movies after the prequels left me deflated and jaded.
"Roger Nasty Butler!"
Welcome back, QLD! Bringing back the fans is the TRUE Disney magic.
I agree with Chuxter's "Crisis" metaphor. The EU stories do exist, as well as the readers' memories of them, but they can be replaced by a new "universe" if the films are strong stories.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Mark - whereas Luke would have to be 28 years old
Carrie - whereas Leia would have to be 28 years old too
Harrison - where Han would be 38.
Both actors playing the Skywalker twins are in their 60's and 50's respectively.
Harrison is close to 70!
Most people do not want to see the OT characters re-cast.
And if they do the movie flashback style with old and young actors both playing the roles, it would be the very first time Star Wars ever does that.
Every SW movie takes place within about a week of the lives of the characters.
If they lasted any longer, they'd have had to cast at least several more actors to keep up with Lando's girlfriends!

Blog Phishing Scam
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, PC / Laptop
There's a new phishing technique in use out there which involves blogs set up to steal information. Criminals are using blogs loaded with keylogging software or viruses to gather data on their victims. Dan Hubbard, research director of Websense, a filtering firm, says "The success of these attacks relies upon a certain level of social engineering to persuade the individual to click on the link." With more than 8 million blogs out there, be careful. Keep your antivirus software up to date and scan for spyware regularly.

Google Video Upload Service Launches
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, Movies
It's starting to get hard to keep up with these guys. Google has launched a video upload service, open to anyone and everyone, which seems like it will work with the Google Video indexing product.
The upload program lets you submit videos electronically to Google Video, as long as you own the necessary rights (including copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, and any other relevant rights for your content). Just sign up for an account and use our upload tool to send your videos to Google. The program is still in beta so you won't see your videos live on Google Video immediately.
The best part - it looks like if your video gets approved, you can set a fee you would like to charge for others to view it. Obviously Google would get a chunk, but you still get your video out to the masses. Just incredible - imagine what this might do for independent film.

RIAA and MPAA To Sue Internet2 File Swappers

It appears that students at universities that use the Internet2 ultra-high speed infrastructure have become targets of both the RIAA and MPAA. The RIAA has even gone so far as to say that they have 405 lawsuits against individuals at 18 different college campuses which they plan to file tomorrow. Those in question have been using a file-sharing application called i2hub, which allows for songs to be downloaded within 20 seconds and movies to be downloaded within five minutes. The MPAA hasn't started to file any lawsuits yet, but they have made it known that they are watching.

Al Gore Unveils Interactive Current TV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet
Current TV is the $70 million dollar cable channel that is seeking to appease 18-35 year old viewers who have short attention spans. Former United States Veep, Al Gore, unveiled Current TV this week in San Francisco saying that they have no intention of creating a Democratic channel, a liberal channel, or any other sort of political outlet. Gore said Current TV is empowering this generation of young people in their 20s to tell their stories through the dominant medium of our time.
Current TV will feature programming like Current Playlist for music, Current Gigs for jobs, Current Soul for religion and so on. Starting to see the point? The content segments are called "pods" and will range in length from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.
Gore also wants to tie the Internet and television together. One way of doing this is by paying a minimum of $250 for a 1-5 minute segment uploaded by Current TV viewers. This is a pretty cool idea, would we expect anything less from the inventor of the Internet? In a nutshell, Current TV wants to create the kind of TV you want to watch. You can upload segments through Current Studio where they will be screened by staff and possibly voted on over the Internet. They don't want "fictional narratives" or "experimental films better suited to film fests than TV" either. I mean, how are they gonna sell advertising with that stuff showing?

AOL Launches VoIP Service
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Internet
The Voice over IP market just got a little bit bigger. AOL has launched its VoIP service at a promotional rate of $29.99 a month for non-AOL users and $13.99 a month for AOL users. The service includes standard features found in most calling plans such as voicemail, 3-way calling, caller ID, call waiting and call forwarding. AOL's new VoIP service also includes "advanced AOL features" such as AOL voicemail, AOL call alert and AOLbyPhone. The company is trying to offer competitive prices by bundling some its services with their VoIP package. What stands out in AOL's package is that they provide enhanced 911 service, which delivers the caller's address to dispatchers when in case of emergency. This is something other companies have not been able to implement or offer as an included service. AOL is promising to make VoIP easy to install and use just like the rest of its services so that mass-market consumers may take advantage of this technology.

Judge Koh Deals Apple Another Blow, Says Samsung's Infringement Wasn't "Willful"
Jason Mick

Federal judge says Samsung had reasonable reason to believe that Apple's patents were invalid
It's been a rough couple weeks for Apple, Inc. (
). Word is that the company is losing its once tight grip on suppliers and carriers, which allowed it to squeeze profit margins to over 44 percent -- and outlandish figure. But now the margins are coming back down to Earth (slowly) and investors are hammering its stock and questioning its long term future amid more ambitious competitive hardware.
And cracks continue to accumulate in Apple's
seemingly resounding court win
over rival smartphone maker Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Judge Lucy Koh
made a
pivotal modification
[PDF] to the jury verdict this week, siding with Samsung and nullifying the ruling that five of the patents in the case were "willfully" infringed on.
The decision, which will likely be appealed by Apple, is critical as it prevents Apple from multiplying the $1.05B USD in damages to
$3B USD or more
. What's perhaps even more critical is why Samsung won.
Samsung's legal team successfully convinced Judge Koh that while their firm was aware of Apple's patents, they had a firm belief they were invalid, hence were not willfully infringing on them in a legal sense. Judge Koh bought that argument; the fact that the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
has filed preliminary invalidation rulings regarding
two of the
key Apple utility patents
involved in the case likely had a little something to do with that decision.
Judge Koh punished Apple with a painful ruling this week. [Image Source: IB Times]
About the only bad news for Samsung was that 10 of the 15 claims on its
'941 patent
, a 3G "
fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory
" (FRAND) standards patent. That invalidation could cut royalties to Samsung, but Apple wasn't found by the jury to infringe on that patent in the first place, so the damage to the phonemaker in the context of the case is minimal.
Given the recent invalidations and her willingness to nullify certain aspects of the jury's infringement verdict, many observers expect Judge Koh to trim the damages Samsung owes Apple. If that happens it will be a major blow to Apple's largely fizzled legal campaign to "ban" Android and prove that the rival "stole" its technology.

Position papers: Norton City Council, Ward 1 representative
Rick Rodgers vs. Ted Weinsheimer
Voters living in Norton's Ward 1 will vote for one candidate for Ward 1 representative on Norton City Council in the Nov. 5 General Election. The race is nonpartisan. The information provided below was submitted by the candidates, with their responses to our questions printed as submitted.
Rick Rodgers
Why are you running for Council?
"After a recent council meeting a current council member made the following statement. "[Norton needs] to catch up with Green and Wadsworth," regardless of the cost. While, another said, that if the residents of Norton can't handle the added financial burden of sewers, "maybe they will just need to move." Comments such as these have energized me for this race.
"I am running for council to try to repair the damage caused by the current administration over the hotly debated sewer issue. Eight out of ten people, that I speak with while campaigning, either do not trust the current administration, think they are corrupt or at best, incompetent. I hope to change that impression by keeping residents' rights first while working for a measured growth for our city.
"We must find ways to fund our necessary infrastructure needs without increasing the financial burden of our residents. We need to bring in new business to help shore-up our tax base by focusing on the most obvious areas of our city to develop. The current administration's plan to force the installation of sewers (where there are perfectly good septic systems in place) at a time when residents are struggling with a difficult economy is simply out of touch with reality and shows a total lack of regard for their constituents."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
- "Sewer Issue
"This is currently the most divisive issue our city faces. With falling wages and decreased home values, saddling homeowners with high-dollar assessments is irresponsible. Thorough research, into existing external grants and funding (that will offset or totally relieve the cost) must be a top priority. The current administration has not been diligent in seeking out these available resources.
- "Infrastructure
"Norton roads are in sad shape. We were advised by the current administration that there wasn't a Road Program in 2012 because the planning was "not done in a timely manner." The 2013 Road Program's budget isn't sufficient to cover the needs of the current year, let alone what didn't get done in 2012. Norton's Service Department is operating at 50 percent capacity. Additional people should be hired to provide the needed services; services which have already been paid for by the residents and are long overdue.
- "Fiscal Responsibility
"Elected officials have a legal and moral responsibility as they manage the tax dollars of their constituents. Each and every expenditure needs to be necessary and cost effective."
Ted Weinsheimer
Why are you running for Council?
"In working with 5 different administrations, the various City departments as well as multiple community organizations, I have an understanding and knowledge of the needs of Norton, both internally and externally. As a previous Norton City employee and as a Norton citizen of 21 years, I want to keep the focus on building good community. This includes the support of our schools, local organizations, Safety Services, and current businesses while remaining fiscally responsible."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
- "Continued expansion of sanitary sewer because it is needed for the betterment of the community and for future business growth. We need to be in control of all options to ensure the lowest best cost possible without interference from any outside entity (OEPA, DOES, SCHD).
- "Sanitary sewer is always going to be an issue with the City of Norton but that is only one piece of the pie. We have to remember there are other pieces of the pie including Police, Fire, EMS, Building and Zoning, Community Development, Engineering, Finance, Administration, Roads, and Parks. We need to protect the entire pie while being fiscally responsible as a city!
- "Continued collaboration linking the city with our schools and local organizations. In order to build good community, the city needs to be accessible and willing to work with the citizens of Norton."

American indie music hero Bob Mould and his old 80s band Husker Du were a major inspiration for Dave Grohl, and it seems a stint on tour and co-writing the song Dear Rosemary on the Foo's last album Wasting Light has rubbed off a little on Mould.
Because since Husker Du split up in the late 80s, which was followed by the more anthemic and sparkling Sugar in the 90s, Mould's solo career has veered off on electronic and singer-songwriter tangents.
But Silver Age proves he's at his best when he's whipping up a hard rocking melodic wall of sound with a brash pop bite to it.
Apart from gentler last track First Time Joy there is very little let-up on this blistering 10 track collection. There's the steely sprawl of Stem of Hercules, with its unashamed guitar hero moments, The Descent is a searing blast of melodic Warehouse-era Husker Du carnage, and the pummelling gallop and arcing distortion of Fugue State is intense.
While it's no New Day Rising (Husker Du), Copper Blue (Sugar), or Workbook (his debut solo album), Silver Age is the best addition to Mould's vast canon in years.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Rowdy rock return for former Husker Du leader

If you look for the little farm‐house among the ridges you will not find it there to‐day.
The English soldiers burnt it down. You can only see where the farm‐house once stood, because the stramonia and weeds grow high and very strong there; and where the ploughed lands were you can only tell, page: 57 because the veld never grows quite the same on land that has once been ploughed. Only a brown patch among the long grass on the ridge shows where the kraals and huts once were.
In a country house in the north of England the owner has upon his wall an old flint‐lock gun. He takes it down to show his friends. It is a small thing he picked up in the war in South Africa, he says. It must be at least eighty years old and is very valuable. He shows how curiously it is constructed; he says it must have been kept in such perfect repair by continual polishing for the steel shines as if it were silver. He does not tell that he took it from the wall of the little mud house before he burnt it down.
It was the grandfather's gun, which the women had kept polished on the wall.
In a London drawing‐room the descendant of a long line of titled forefathers entertains her guests. It is a fair‐room, and all that money can buy to make life soft and beautiful is there.
On the carpet stands a little dark wooden stoof. When one of her guests notices it, she says it is a small curiosity which her son brought home to her from South Africa when he was out in the war there; and how good it was of him to think of her when he was away in the back country. And when they ask what it is, she says it is a thing Boer women have as a footstool and to keep their feet warm; and she shows page: 58 the hole at the side where they put the coals in, and the little holes at the top where the heat comes out.
And the other woman puts her foot out and rests it on the stool just to try how it feels, and drawls "How f‐u‐n‐n‐y!"
It is grandmother's stoof, that the child used to sit on.
The wagon chest was found and broken open just before the thatch caught fire, by three private soldiers, and they divided the money between them; one spent his share in drink, another had his stolen from him, but the third sent his home to England to a girl in the East End of London. With part of it she bought a gold brooch and ear‐rings, and the rest she saved to buy a silk wedding‐dress when he came home.
A syndicate of Jews in Johannesburg and London have bought the farm. They purchased it from the English Government, because they think to find gold on it. They have purchased it and paid for it ... but they do not possess it.
Only the men who lie in their quiet graves upon the hill‐side, who lived on it, and loved it, possess it; and the piles of stones above them, from among the long waving grasses, keep watch over the land.

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Still reasonably cheap and safe to travel. No matter if you are going just for a short break or for longer - there's so much to see and do. There's something magic about that city. We don't know if it is Franz Kafka who's attracting many Jewish to see Old Synagogue. We don't know if it is view from famous cafe Slavia over river and castle where former president used to go. Definitelly Prague has got a GENIUS LOCI...

Reviews for this host's other properties
We had wonderful time in Praha! The apartment is nice, really spacious and clean. It is located very central - within walking distance from the touristic center - in a beautiful neighborhood. Special thanks to lovely Jakub who made our stay excellent and provided us with a lot of useful inside information.
The flat is cozy and comfortable. You can get to any point of the city by using tram, and the stops are everywhere. All you can need is around you day and night.
Jakub was very kind to us and Praha is one of the most beautiful cities i've ever seen.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Jakub is a great host. He is very helpful. Even when it's late and something might not be alright. He can be reached perfectly well by mobile so keep in mind to save his number before you arrive to Praha because you might need to call Jakub to get your keys, but that's not a bad thing!
The apartment itself just needs some blinds and maybe a clean oven to make yourself a pizza. Everything else is in a great condition with a very nice and new bathroom. It even has a washing machine!
We (3 adults) had a very nice stay at a good location, very comfortable and mostly quiet.
The apartment is located only one stop away from the central station and 5 more minutes by foot so that's a big plus.
9/10, would recommend again.
We had a nice vacation. The flat was very spatious, comfortable and with easy acces to tram, bus and metro. Jakub was a very nice host, he offered useful and detailed information about the area and the city.
The room is great and the owner of the flat is very nice even if communication can be a little tricky.
Everything went great. The bed is really comfortable.
I'd recommend staying there to anyone.
Really nice apartment with a great connection to the city (like 2 mins to the tram station). The apartment has everything you need. Clean bath, fully functional kitchen including chairs and a table and a nice sleeping room with a great bed.
It is not luxury but I enjoyed myself there.
Thanks to Jakub for the great time I had.
Big (3+ people) and awesome apartment in a quiet, yet interesting part of Prague, 20 min walk away from the Old Town. The flat is fully self-sefficient, you can find almost all necessary things inside of it. In surrounding area you're sure to find a lot of bars, clubs, parks and other cool places to spend time with your friends. This was my third stay with Jakub, and it has become an awesome relationship with a polite and incredibly friendly host. Big 10 once again!
This is a very nice and newly renovated apartment, close to city center. There is plenty of space for a family even with 3-4 children. Two good rooms, nice kitchen and a good bathroom/ WC – also with a washing machine.
The apartment is only 15-20 minutes' walk from the city center. There is cheap car parking about ½ km from the apartment (just before the bridge on the left side when walking to the city center).
Jakub is charming and informative and easy stay. The apartment is very well and is in a quiet area. The furniture is basic and we miss a television, but to know Prague and return to rest after spending all day out there is enough. To access the center is better to use the tram, because walking is necessary to surround the train station and quite turns.
Jakub es encantador y te informa y facilita la estancia. El apartamento está muy bien y está en una zona tranquila. El mobiliario es básico y se echa de menos una televisión, pero para conocer Praga y volver a descansar tras estar todo el día por ahí es suficiente. Para acceder al centro es mejor utilizar el tranvía, porque andando hay que rodear la estación de tren y se da bastante vuelta.

Cool down with two new flavours from McCafé
Boxes are still everywhere. Jacek has been diligently unpacking. Me? I take a lot of breaks. I take mostly breaks and maybe unpack a bowl or a plate here and there. Moving is so overwhelming because I'm an idiot when it comes to the home. How do you decide which cupboards are right for what things? Where does one even find a cutlery tray with at least five slots?
So, while Jacek is doing most of the work, I have spent most of my time pretending to keep the dogs company and out of the way on our deck. It was a gorgeous, sunny weekend in Toronto. I had my e-cig in one hand and a McCafé Vanilla Chai Tea Iced Frappé in the other ignoring my responsibilities and deadlines. Amazingly I am still married. Not sure I'll be able to get away with this for another week. But that's the point of indulgence – you do it while you can.
McDonald's is extending its McCafé brand this summer with the launch of new Iced Frappés – in two sweet and creamy flavours: The McCafé Coffee Iced Frappé and the McCafé Vanilla Chai Tea Iced Frappé.
The Coffee Iced Frappé is for you coffee lovers. It's the perfect balance of coffee flavour, made sweet and creamy and blended with ice. I had a sip of Jacek's and loved the fact that it actually tasted like coffee. I find a lot of iced coffee drinks lose that real coffee taste so they appear to have this one right.
If you're like me, though, and can't handle a full caffeine, the McCafé Vanilla Chai Tea Iced Frappé is your jam: a refreshing combination of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, frothy and cool at the same time.
Both are in stores now but I'll be hosting a kick-off party tonight. Watch for my post tomorrow for a recap of the event.
In the meantime, do you want to try an Iced Frappé on us? We're giving away 10 McCafé Iced Frappé prize packs. Each pack includes a $20 McDonald's gift card and ten (10) "Be my Guest" drink vouchers to share with your friends and co-workers. If you'd like a chance to win, email [email protected] with "McCafé Iced Frappé" before midnight PT Friday, August 9, 2013. Standard contest terms apply. Value of each prize is approximately $40. Good luck!

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Blasted Off the Bluff
We could have hit another farm, but remember what I said about the lack of gobbling that morning? If the neighborhood longbeards weren't vocal, did it make sense to try to strike a hot one?
Not really. We decided to stay at the farm and try the spooked turkeys. We'd probably have to extra patient, but we were at least in the game.
About an hour later, my friend and I were celebrating over a flopping gobbler -- the same bird I'd spooked earlier at the plowed field. Even amidst chaos, patience had persevered.

|>> Archive: Striper (etc) Flies Tricks of the trade
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:New Patterns:
So Bob will you be opening a roadside stand this year selling custom flies. [img]http://18.104.22.168/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif" border="0" align="middle">You must be into the K's by now.
And which fly are you going to fish first? <img src="http://184.108.40.206/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif[/img]
RE:New Patterns:
They're all great flies and the flatwings have a lot of action. On a moonlit night I'd take the one on top. Had some good experiences with black flies on moonlit nights, whether stripped above the fish -or- fished above the illuminated sand. Hope to do a lot more experimentation with night time tactics this year... bring it on mother nature!
RE:New Patterns:
Awesome flies, Bob. I especially like the bottom two.
Doug B.
RE:New Patterns:
Nice stuff Bob! I once got a fly from a Popham Beach ff'er called the "razzle dazzle". Hunter's carries the pattern. It's a flat wing, but tied with a wide variety of colors - all told looking like a tinker mackeral on color steroids. Very effective fly; as I am sure these will be.
|Bob Pink
New Patterns: "Rhody Flatwings"
Actually I'm not sure that the term "Rhody" is accurate but since I see Ray B as being one of the real advocates of using the hackles tied flat, why not!
These are real easy to tie, will be a cinch to cast and should be fairly active in the water due to the position of the top wing... We'll see soon enough.
1/0 short-shank hook
Tie a modest bunch of bucktail about 1/3 back from the eye, three loose wraps and then use your thumb to roll the pieces around to the sides of the shank evenly.
Tie another bunch on the bottom of the shank just ahead of the last. About 1/2 the length of the first.
If you think it's needed add another small bunch right behind the eye. Keep it short.
Add about 25-30 strands of angel hair (long brite) to the top of the shank behind the eye. Taper the hank by staggering the ends. Tie at the midpoint of the flash, the fold the other end back over the first, thumb roll to spread over the bucktail a bit.
Clean up the head to create a nice seat for the hackle.
Add a straight hackle to match the length of your body. Get a nice flat lay on top, three wraps on the stem (not too tight) then grasp the shaft of the stem in one hand and the tip of the feather in the other and gently pull the feather up into the wraps to help 'seat' the feather. BTW it looks nice if your feather has a bit of hose webby base fibers right near the head. The fly with the olive wing was just right.
Make sure the feather stays put, whip finsh the head and cement.
Optional; add a pinch of red bucktail cut square for a throat/gill.
Optional; add a grizzly hackle under the top wing

By Jack Elliott Jr./The Associated Press
JACKSON — At least one death has been linked to a winter storm system that dumped 2 to 4 inches of snow in central parts of Mississippi on Thursday.
The Highway Patrol said the fatality was in Lowndes County. Patrol spokesman Cpl. Criss Turnipseed says 64-year-old Johnnie A. Matthews of West Point died when his car collided with a downed tree about 5 a.m. on Mississippi Highway 50.
Turnipseed said the large pine tree in the roadway appeared to have been uprooted by wind and ground saturation due to excessive rainfall ahead of Thursday's storm.
"The highway was slippery from the icy conditions," Turnipseed said.
No other fatalities have been reported.
The National Weather Service said that by early afternoon, snow was melting away across the state.
The winter storm system has moved into Alabama and toward other parts of the Southeast.

Discontinued Product
Grill Cover for the Napoleon Prestige 500 Series Grills
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Napoleon Grill Cover for the Napoleon Prestige 500 Series Grills
Keep your grill free from the inclement weather when you cover it with the Napoleon Grill Cover for the Napoleon Prestige 500 Series Grills (63171). Allowing your gas grill to be covered from rain or snow (and even heat!) allows it to last much longer than it would if it were exposed to the elements. Made of a tough and durable material, these covers will ensure the safety and upkeep of your grill, while the breathable material allows the grill some air to breathe, which is great for keeping it in suitable condition.
This cover is made of water- and heat-resistant fabric to give your grill much needed relief from the weather no matter where it is located. It will also ensure a tight fit around the grill for a better protection, but you can still rest assured that the cover can come off of the grill just as easily as it is put on. A tight fit allows maximum protection from high winds, insects, and rain water or snow, all of which could easily harm your grill if not properly protected. Ideal for the griller amongst your family or friends, this cover will ensure protection for your grill so it will be available for parties and BBQs for years to come!
Protects from Elements:This durable grill cover keeps the grill protected from inclement weather, including rain, snow, sleet, and anything else mother nature might throw at it
Perfect Fitting:Make sure your grill cover fits perfectly around the grill to ensure that it is fully protected from possible threats like insects, rain water, snow, and much more
Durable Material:A water- and heat-resistant material ensures protection from the elements, as well as extreme cold and heat, so your grill will be protected wherever it may be

Hi EL Chuxter.
Nice point about Horner (and everyone else that mentioned him), I can't see many of my 'colleagues' in the UK even knowing who JH is, let alone Edwin Dobb and Bob Bakker (apologies of course to anyone in the UK who I offended above)
Having said that, I wonder if anyone here has read his book The Complete T-Rex or if a lot of the opinions come from watching Discovery Channel-type documentaries. The book makes some very compelling arguments for him being an opportunist (as opposed to a scav') and I must say I kinda agree
I think it is a shame the T-Rex is demystified in this way, but it may be true, just look at the early pics of the Iguanadon with his thumb on his head
I also thought the film was crap, but like the above forummer, I enjoyed it because I like Dinos.

Photojournalist to present on Arctic wildlife refuge, Oct. 20
Posted October 18, 2004; 05:16 p.m.
Photographer and conservationist Subhankar Banerjee will give a slide lecture on his work in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall (note change in location from 16 Robertson).
The slide lecture is based on his 2003 book, "Seasons of Life and Land," which gained notice across the country when a U.S. senator held it up during a debate on whether to allow drilling in the refuge. The book contains 200 images depicting the area's fragile beauty and ecological diversity, as well as essays by several authors and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter.
In 2000, Banerjee quit his scientific career and a job at Boeing in Seattle, cashed in his savings and set off to document the land, wildlife and indigenous cultures in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. With his Inupiat guide and friend, Robert Thompson, Banerjee covered more than 4,000 miles, traveling on foot and by kayak, raft, snowmobile and plane.
Banerjee's images also were used to make eight traveling exhibits, one of which will be on display in Robertson Hall's Bernstein Gallery through Nov. 20.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies .

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Sometimes, so-called experts are just nuts. For example, a female Texas pediatrician – who shall remain nameless – seems to think that her time working as a Washington lobbyist makes her more insightful than the rest of us.
Offered to me as a story "expert," she has the unmitigated gall to insist that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was a poor choice for U.S. secretary of state, not because she is unqualified but that she is a woman.
I checked the calendar and, sure enough, it is almost 2013, if we survive Dec. 21, which some folks believe may be the end of our time on this blue marble.
I admit to saying some pretty hair-brained things in print. Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn't escaped my catty suggestions that she wears pants suits because she has piano legs.
But, I've grown up a little since I made those snide remarks four years ago. I think piano legs may look pretty good in the White House one of these days, if that concussion she got the other day didn't knock some more sense into her smart brain.
Woman that she is, Ms. Clinton has provided exceptionally fine service to her country. Friends, our oft-times lame-brained government needs all the smart, creative and diplomatic people we can get, regardless of sex, race or fashion orientation.
As for our next secretary of state, this Texas woman says we need a man with a firm handshake to show the rest of the world we mean business.
She says women doing this job don't look right in pants suits and goodness knows not in a skirt, which might show too much skin.
She says Sen. John Kerry "might be" a good nominee, but it would be "nice" if President Obama could find "a man in the diplomatic corps who is Arab-American and multi-lingual."
She also says that if we can't get a world-class male diplomat, let's send somebody like ex-Special Forces or a Navy SEAL with good manners and a "thin veneer covering a lethal force."
A woman just isn't the right man for the job, this woman writes. I certainly hope this "expert" gets thunderous silence in response to her idiotic pitch for her services. I'm almost sorry to give her any forum at all, except to expose her antiquated, sexist viewpoints.
And I don't think it has anything to do with Texas, a most excellent place. She probably moved there after medical school.
As we look anxiously toward 2013, and I do because I am anxious about odd numbers, the United States of America and its elected leaders ought to be seeking help and advice from the best sources, male or female, without regard for whether somebody's got on pants or a skirt.
Scotsmen wear kilts. Middle Easterners often wear floor-length gowns. East Indians are readily accepted in long, skirt-like garments. No one gets their undergarments in a wad over these things. Few, if any, have ever considered William Wallace, Lawrence of Arabia or Gandhi wimps for their garment choices.
So, I do not care which sex the next U.S. secretary of state lists on a census form. Rather, I do care who best can represent our country and help influence the rest of the world toward greater peace and understanding.
He. She. Or it.
Texas doctor, your stupidity is showing. Merry Christmas.
