The term XP can refer to many different things. It is for instance a common term in roleplaying games referring to the experience of the characters.
Most Internet users however refer to Microsoft's Windows XP operating system when they use the term.
The Windows XP operating system was released in 2001 by Microsoft as a successor to Windows 2000 and the poorly rated Windows ME. It was build on Windows NT Kernel and architecture and is the predecessor of Windows Vista and Windows 7.
The Windows OS is still the most widely used operating system in the world with a 58% market share in February 2010.
Microsoft has released a total of three service packs for Windows XP, all of which are freely available for installation.
You'll find bloggers talking about XP at sites like Connected Internet and Bink.

How To Sneak Into A Chinese Village When Police Don't Want You There
Originally published on Wed March 6, 2013 9:41 am
On occasion my job requires me to sneak into a Chinese village as I did earlier this week to report a story on a rural uprising. This does not come naturally. I'm 6-foot-2 with gray hair and blue eyes and don't look remotely like a Chinese farmer.
The village in question is called Shangpu. It's in south China, and farmers there have barricaded their community and are demanding free elections. They say their own village chief ordered thugs to attack them after they opposed a scheme to sell off their land for a factory.
Police had set up a roadblock outside the entrance to the village with two SUVs and safety tape. They had also positioned a fire engine to block another approach.
So, how to get in and get the story?
I approached the roadblock by taxi, slumped down in the back seat and pulled my Philadelphia Eagles cap over my eyes. Just before we reached the roadblock, we turned and drove through a field until we could see the fire truck.
A farmer from a neighboring village did some reconnaissance in Shangpu and told me it was safe to enter — in other words, no thugs. He said two men in the fire truck were playing on their cellphones and might not notice if I strolled past.
I took the more conservative route — through a cabbage field.
I walked swiftly along irrigation canals, smiling as I passed curious farmers who were hoeing and pouring water on their crops by hand. When I reached an embankment, I grabbed hold of some weeds and hauled myself over.
I continued through more fields, past scarecrows made from pinstripe shirts, hugging a conveniently placed grove of banana trees that provided excellent cover.
A quick jaunt across a highway, and I was suddenly in Shangpu, which was under the residents' control. A road along the edge of the village was littered with more than two-dozen smashed and burned vehicles. Villagers proudly told me they had belonged to the thugs, whom the villagers had chased out of town with bamboo poles.
After two hours of interviews, the sun had set and it was time to go. Worried that I might bump into thugs on the way out, the farmers arranged for a motorcycle escort through a maze of back roads.
In fact, the escape route was so obscure, my escorts became hopelessly lost. After 30 minutes roaming in the dark, they finally stopped at a police station to ask for directions that would lead me to an expressway and my flight home.

"Acting is merely the art of keeping a large group
of people from coughing."
- Sir Ralph Richardson
I need a nap.
Oh, and my father was ecstatic to see some guy from TLS named Anthony Meyers promote his play in Sheffield on the 12 o'clock news.
(Translation: Andy Maples, aka The Shaman, was promoting his play in the Shoals.)
Registering for gifts SOUNDS like a lot of fun, but it's truly exhausting.
Someone sent me a note today that started with, "Your Grace, I humbly request.." and ended with "Submitted, most humbly, this day of our Lord 8/21/06″. I had to give him props. The man knows how to get what he wants.
Ra's ring is GORGEOUS. I'm so excited that they're getting married. Steve did a killer job of picking out the ring. (Or a killer job of letting Ra pick it out.)
Spooning rocks.
The end.

Alec Baldwin Blasts NY Paper For 'Crashing' His Fiancee's Yoga Class
First Published: April 3, 2012 6:20 PM EDT Credit: Getty Premium
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- When it comes to his 28-year-old fiancee, Alec Baldwin is very protective.
He used Twitter to blast a New York newspaper for "crashing" yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas' class.
He tweeted Monday: "Shame on the no-talent trash from the Daily News for invading the privacy of 75 people in a yoga class to take a picture of someone."
Baldwin also posted the names of reporters at the class. He included a picture of one, and called her "nutty," followed by a mild curse word.
The actor celebrated his 54th birthday Tuesday. He popped the question last weekend.
The Daily News had no immediate response to comment requests Tuesday.

Help save the BBC Wildlife Fund!
Very sad news today as the BBC have decided to no longer support the BBC Wildlife Fund. This incredible unique charity has helped fund 87 charities and countless wildlife since it was founded in 2007. The Wild Night In last year alone helped raise £1.2 million pounds which went towards saving a diverse range of wildlife not just in the UK but all over world…bats, great bustards, chimpanzees, Siamese crocodiles, Moray Firth dolphins, African elephants, gorillas, jaguars, dormice, orang-utans, Galapagos penguins, red squirrels, seahorses, sharks, tigers, water voles, slow worms, and many more.
The BBC has been forced to make cuts…but this charity doesn't rely on the TV Licence fee, instead relying on corporate sponsorship to pay for the small team of passionate staff supported by enthusiastic volunteers (like me, who would give over my time all over again to help the charity!)
But you can still do something to save this charity from extinction…sign the petition to Chris Patten, the politician who might be able to overturn this decision.

Roger Alan Allison, 65, died Saturday, June 23, 2007 at Kadlec Medical Center in Richland, Wash.
At his request, there will be no services held. Disposition was by cremation. A family memorial service will take place at a later date. Roger Alan Allison was born Sept. 1, 1941 in Havre to Andrew Moyes and Mary Elizabeth (Jones) Allison. Roger lived most of his life in Havre and Billings. He resided for the past six years in Umatilla and the previous one in Hermiston, Ore. He worked as a meat cutter the majority of his working career and also drove truck for a short time. After an accident driving truck, Roger earned his bachelor's degree from Eastern Montana College in Billings. On May 29, 1982, he married Judith "Judi" Mae Sasse in Billings. He enjoyed being a "Rockhound" and was a member of Lakeside Gem & Mineral Club in Kennewick, Wash. Roger also enjoyed photography, computers, watching television, but he loved his 14 grandchildren all of whom he affectionately called "George".

BIRDSBORO The Birdsboro man accused of shooting his girlfriends ex-husband is now charged with numerous sex crimes involving a teen girl.
Christopher D. Yingling, 42, of the 500 block of West Second Street, who was previously charged with shooting Limerick fire official Glen Russell on Jan. 24 in his car in a Berks County parking lot, was charged Wednesday with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sex assault, aggravated indecent assault, prostitution, producing and presenting obscene sexual materials and performance, as well as other similar offenses, all involving a girl under the age of 15.
This is just the most disturbing number of facts Ive seen, Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams said Thursday.
Berks County Detectives began an investigation into Yingling after Birdsboro Police received a report of the girl being physically abused by Yingling, according to a press release issued Thursday from the Berks County District Attorneys office.
The report stemmed from a June incident during which Yingling allegedly punched the girl in the face, causing a fractured nose, the release said. The victim also reported being punched and kicked at other times in the past.
Police turned over the investigation to county detectives Jan. 19, several days before Yinglings alleged shooting of Russell.
Russells ex-wife is Yinglings girlfriend with whom he shares a residence, police said.
The investigation uncovered that the victim was allegedly abused for years and she cited a series of events ranging from June 1 to Dec. 27, 2011, according to the release.
During that time, Yingling allegedly took cell phone pictures of the naked victim and sent them to others, police said.
Yingling is also accused of sexually assaulting and raping the girl, as well as physically (forcing) the victim to call his friends on a cellular telephone and offer sexual acts with the victim in exchange for money.
Its somewhat rare that weve seen a case where the victim has not only been sexually abused but this child was also physically abused, Adams said. Then, to top it off, the perpetrator, Mr. Yingling, went so far as to offer to prostitute this child.
As far as the people that received the photos of the victim, as well as the calls, Adams said he was certain the investigation was ongoing to uproot them.
Charges were filed May 16 and Yingling was arraigned Thursday, May 17. His bail was set at $200,000 and he was recommitted to Berks County Prison, where he has been since being charged for the shooting incident. His bail for the alleged shooting was previously set at $400,000.

Issues concerning severe adverse events from combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) are becoming increasingly evident, limiting therapeutic benefits in a significant proportion of patients. Typical hepatic drug toxicity is exhibited by all classes of antiretrovirals; it is shown by a rise in transaminase levels and occasionally by signs of drug hypersensitivity or steatohepatitis. In the current study, all patients who initiated any combination of ART during an 18-month period were assessed to define prospectively the incidence and factors associated with the occurrence of severe hepatotoxicity (SH), as well as the histology and outcomes from SH during ART.
Seven hundred fifty-five HIV-positive patients consecutively prescribed new ART were selected. Liver function tests were assessed at baseline, after one month, and every four months thereafter. Liver biopsy was recommended in case of SH (i.e., increase in liver enzymes greater than or equal to 10 times the upper limit of normal or five times baseline if markedly abnormal).
Twenty-six cases of SH were observed with an incidence of 4.2 per 100 person-years. SH incidence was not significantly different by treatment regimen (four per 100 person-years in patients treated with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) plus one protease inhibitor (PI), six per 100 person-years in those treated with two NRTIs, and none in those treated with two NRTIs plus one nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI). Patients developing SH during combination ART differed from those who did not by the following factors: they were more often male; had intravenous drug use as a risk factor for HIV acquisition; were younger; were more often coinfected with HCV, HBV, and HDV; and had higher baseline alanine aminotransferase and bilirubin values and longer prothrombin time. Anti-HCV and HCV RNA reactivity were detected in all but one of 26 patients with SH. HBsAg was detected in five patients, as was anti-HDV IgM. The patient without HCV-RNA reactivity showed HBsAg and HDV-Ab IgM reactivities.
Severe hepatotoxicity was related to preexisting chronic viral hepatitis followed by irreversible LF in a few patients, all with severe CD4+ T-cell depletion before starting ART. "Besides the fact that all patients with chronic viral hepatitis should be strictly monitored for liver damage after starting ART, this observation strengthens the importance of careful follow-up in patients with chronic hepatitis and a low CD4+ T-cell count. When the CD4+ T-cell count is 200 to 350 cells/mm3, the risk of SH resulting in LF may be low according to our data; thus ART could be started quite safely," researchers concluded. "Antihepatitis pre- or co-medication could be an effective preventive or curative measure."

The intrusive roar of an outboard motor slices obtrusively through the pristine stillness as it pulls an athletic-looking skier through the cool choppy waters.
Off in the distance you can see the outline of a solitary fisherman guiding his boat quietly, almost imperceptibly, through the same choppy water.
To the south, near the boat ramp, a family of sunbathers sprawl haphazardly on the sandy beach while still keeping a sharp eye on the children splashing aimlessly in the cool water just off shore.
Its a typical summer weekend at Fresno Reservoir. But its not the kind of a weekend that would have existed 64 years ago and were it not for the needs of area farmers and a hard-fought agreement with Canada, it might not exist today.
Fresno Reservoir was created by the construction of a dam that was started in the spring of 1937 by the construction company of Wachter-ONeil and Megarry Bros. Of Bismarck, N.D.
It was the culmination of a process that began in 1902 with the passage by Congress of the U.S. Reclamation Act and the formation of The Milk River Irrigation Project. Both recognized the unique needs of dryland farmers in the western United States and particularly along the Milk River. The act set aside $20 million for construction and irrigation projects.
Irrigation had become a common practice along the Milk River in those early years along the Hi-Line as was demonstrated by many early farmers like T.C. Burns who was one of the first to build an irrigation ditch in the Chinook-Harlem area in 1889. Burns would later form a private irrigation company that built a total of eight canals to service area farmers.
Problems with Canada over the water in the Milk River also exacerbated the concerns of area farmers as the Canadians also started a canal to divert water from the river.
The Boundary Waters Treaty was finalized in 1909 resolving most of the conflict between the two countries. But it would be 1982 before the final interpretation of the agreement resolved all of the issues regarding water use.
Water, or the lack of it, continued to be a problem along the Hi-Line throughout the early 1900s despite agreements, acts of Congress, and piecemeal attempts by individual farmers to solve the problem.
By 1928, water users were demanding a proposed Chain of Lakes storage area be built.
It would be 1937 before all of the issues were resolved and a site picked for construction to begin.
The site selected was located six miles from the small community of Fresno that consisted of a population of only a dozen people and hosted only a few houses, a train station, and a general store.
The site chosen was also the original homestead of Long George Francis, a local lawman, rodeo star, alleged outlaw, and stockman, who met his demise 18 miles north of the dam on Christmas Eve 1920.
Harold Blair, a Havre resident who worked as a mechanic on the ONeil Construction crew was interviewed by Kathie Newell, a Havre Daily News reporter in 1989, and said Franciss home, or what might more accurately be called his dugout, was destroyed during the first day of construction on March 29, 1937.
Blair also claimed during the interview that dinosaur bones were found right above the dugout.
That dinosaur laid right up the side of the bank, he said. As they started digging, these bones started showing up.
Blair said there was not time for excavation and the remains were reburied. He also claimed he kept pieces of the bones for a long time, but eventually lost them.
The fossils are also to have included the remains of several buffalo that were discovered 30 feet below the river surface. All of the finds were left on the site and are now a part of the dam.
Quicksand was one of the greatest challenges Blair said they had to deal with during the early phases of construction.
We dug that trench out, and then we filled it back up, Blair said. The material that was put back in there was a mixture of clay and sand and rocks. It had to all be watered and compacted with a sheeps-foot roller to meet the density regulations, or the compaction test.
Water seeping into the trench was also a problem Blair referred to.
We had to keep a sump-pump pumping for a year and a half to keep the water out of that trench, he said. We put a house on top near the pump and we hired a man and his wife to attend that pump 24 hours a day for a year and a half.
The upward slope of the dam was covered with a three-foot layer of rock riprap that was hauled from the Snake Butte quarry near Harlem and off-loaded from railroad cars by hand.
The dam contains 1,975,000 cubic yards of dirt and is 2,000 feet long. It stands 77 feet above the river channel and is 800 feet wide at the bottom and 35 feet wide at the top. It contains 15,000 cubic yards of concrete and it took 1,000 train carloads of rock. Ten thousand cubic yards of gravel were used for the sub base.
The reservoir backs up the Milk River for an estimated 24 miles and holds about 127,000 acre-feet of water.
Cost of the project was set at $980,804, but according to Blair the final figure he remembered is $1.1 million. Eighty percent of the $980,804 figure was, by agreement, to be repaid to The Department of Interior and Public Works Administration by land owners and water users along the river.
Labor costs alone through November 1939 totaled a reported $400,000. It was a sum that during the years of the Great Depression went a long way to boost the economy of local merchants. The fuel bill alone for the project was reported to have been $40,000.
The dam was finally completed in 1939 and a dedication was held on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1939, on site.
The dam has not eliminated the need by area farmers for rain. Nor has it solved all of the problems of fluctuating grain prices and competition in the marketplace from other countries, but it was a major step forword in securing a useable, dependable, and much needed, source of water to Hi-Line agriculture. It has also provided a valuable recreation area for boaters, swimmers, water-skiers, and fishermen.

The loss for Woods was her first this season against a Division III opponent. She finished the season with a record of 21-2. Woods, who was the Most Valuable Player in the MIAA this season and also the International Tennis Association's Division III Rookie of the Year, had advanced to the quarterfinals by winning two matches Thursday.

Hope's Tjepkema, Trine's Fuller Named To Division III Softball Academic All-America TeamHope outfielder Laura Tjepkema and Trine pitcher Bree Fuller have been named to the Capital One NCAA Division III Academic All-America Team in softball by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Tjepkema was a first-team selection, while Fuller was named to the third team when CoSIDA announced the Academic All-America Team Tuesday. A senior from Dorr (Grand Rapids South Christian HS), Tjepkema had a perfect 4.0 grade point average while majoring in special education at Hope. She was named to the Academic All-America team for the second straight year, having been named to the third team last year. A two-time All-MIAA first team selection, Tjepkema led the Flying Dutch this season in batting average (.380), hits (46), RBIs (31) and doubles (8). She finished with a career batting average of .358, finishing third in school history in RBIs with 109 and fifth in hits with 162. Fuller, a sophomore from Hubbardston (Fulton HS), carries a 3.88 grade point average as an exercise science major at Trine. Fuller earned All-MIAA first team honors this spring as she posted a 15-1 record with a 1.48 earned run average as the Thunder won the MIAA softball championship and the conference tournament. She struck out 136 batters in 104 innings while allowing only 65 hits as opponents hit just .174 against her. She was 6-0 in MIAA competition with 51 strikeouts in 36 innings of work. To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his or her institution and be nominated by that school's sports information director. With the honors bestowed upon Tjepkema and Fuller, the MIAA has now had six student-athletes named to Academic All-America teams during the 2012-13 academic year. The others are Calvin's Lizzie Kamp (first team, volleyball), Calvin's Carissa Verkaik (first team, basketball), Albion's C.J. Carroll (second team, football), and Kalamazoo's Mark Ghafari (third team, basketball). Kamp and Verkaik were each named CoSIDA Division III Academic All-America of the Year in their respective sports. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-Ameica honors on more than 18,000 student-athletes in all three NCAA Divisions as well as NAIA.

MIAA Unveils Stories From Its History: Great Moments From 125 YearsAs part of its 125th anniversary celebration this academic year, the MIAA will feature stories on its website highlighting great moments, memorable games, and outstanding student-athletes and coaches. Some of the new stories you can see now on the website include: - Albion's Cedric Dempsey, who was a three-sport standout for the Britons in the early 1950s who went on to become one of the most influential figures in college athletics, first as an athletic director, and then as president of the NCAA from 1994 to 2003. The NCAA last fall named its office building in Indianapolis after Dempsey in recognition of his contributions to collegiate sports. - Saint Mary's women's soccer student-athlete Kaitlin Teichman, who seeks to build bonds with other student-athletes across the MIAA together as president of the conference's SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee). - The 1991-92 Calvin men's basketball team, which became the first team in school history to win an NCAA Division III national championship. - Albion's Melissa Washburn, a three-sport athlete at the school who graduated in 1981, and her mother, Ruth, a 1937 Albion graduate who also competed in three sports. The Washburns are the only mother-daughter tandem enshrined in the college's athletic Hall of Fame. - The 1989-90 Hope women's basketball team, which overcame a 20-point deficit in the championship game to become the first MIAA women's team to win an NCAA Division III team national championship. More stories will be added throughout the 2012-13 season. Click here to read more on these stories. |

Hey everyone, just moved out here to the South Lake Tahoe area from North Carolina and dying to get on the river. Usually paddle IV/V but looking to get a little playboat warm up run over on the S. American. Figured I would try to find someone on here rather than the show up and wait at the take out method! I've got a pretty solid shuttle truck and a full cooler, let's go boating. Would love to start getting a crew together to run bigger stuff.
Hit me up via text or on here, my cell service is spotty and I'll be riding Northstar all day tomorrow.

About Garage Loft Plans & Garage Designs with Lofts...Garage Loft Plans are detached garages designed with style and flair to complement an existing home. They are available in a wide variety of architectural styles and sizes satisfying the needs of a broad range of buyers and lot sizes. Generally, garage loft plans provide parking and auto storage on the main level for one to three vehicles and deliver additional storage space on the second level in the form of a loft. They are similar to garage apartments providing car storage on the first level, but they differ in that garage loft plans do not have finished plumbing on the second floor. Instead, the unfinished loft area is designed primarily for storage. Garage Plans with Storage and Garage Apartment plans are closely related to Garage Loft Plans. |

House is by far one of the best televisions shows. Season One is where it all began. House is a medical mystery television show. In each episode House is faced with a patient with unusual symptoms, and along with his team of dedicated doctors, must discover what strange illness is afflicting the patient. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brilliant medical professional. Also a strong supporting cast to include Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, and Sela Ward. 22 episodes of Drama, Suspense and some Comedy. This is a must have.
This show is my current obsession. Hugh Laurie and the "House M.D." ensemble cast come together with instant chemistry to play out dramatic and engaging story arcs.
Set up as an episodal show, "House M.D." generally has a new medical mystery to unravel in each hour-long segment. The genius Gregory House and his team of interns have mere days and hours to correctly diagnose and save patients, taking on only the toughest cases. However, the real facination for me lies in the larger story arcs, which cover several episodes and sometimes entire seasons.
Throughout the individual episodes the characters grow and change, learning from eachother and their experiences. House himself is a paradox: he is a brilliant doctor saving lives every day, but he apparently has no patience or compassion for the people around him. His abrasive personality finds expression in his cutting wit, making wry jokes and mercilessly teasing those around him. In fact, sometimes even I get a little tired of his arrogance. But then, as if on cue, every once in a while another side of House shines through; the odd smile, the stunned silence, and the rare but precious expression of affection.
Oscar-winning Hugh Laurie manages to balance all these facets of the character with stunning expertise, creating an entirely believeable and even strangely likeable doctor House. A well-known British actor (BBCTV series such as "Black Adder," "Jeeves & Wooster," "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"), Laurie plays House with a nearly flawless U.S. accent (rumor has it that upon seeing Laurie's audition video, the casting director for House said to his team, "See, this is what I want: a real American guy").
Laurie's performance, while stunning, is doubly highlighted and successful due to his strong supporting cast. Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Cuddy), Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron), Omar Epps (Dr. Foreman), Jesse Spencer (Dr. Chase), and the much underappreciated, in my opinion, Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. Wilson) paint a colorful array of hospital staff, whose talents and weaknesses ultimately balance eachothers' out and find success in most of their ventures.
All in all, this is a must-see for people who enjoy great scripting and better acting. I would warn people unfamiliar with the story that House is in fact downright mean at times, and I know friends who have gotten really fed up with his antics. However, in my opinion, if you're able to take his defensive walls in stride, the reward of getting to know his complexity is well worth your time. I started watching the show on TV during Season 3, and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I had no idea how much I was missing by not having the background story. I'd seriously reccommend catching up with Seasons 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
Thanks for reading this small novel :)
Debuting over the FOX network almost four years ago (11-16-04), House is an investigative medical drama that revolves around several physicians who were inspired by Sir Blah Blah creation—Sherlock Homes.
Wikipedia.org wrote:
"House is in many respects a medical Sherlock Holmes. This resemblance is evident in various elements of the series' plot, such as House's reliance on psychology to solve a case, his reluctance to accept cases he does not find interesting, his drug addiction, home address (apartment 221B), playing of an instrument, relationship with Dr. James Wilson (a reference to Dr. John Watson), and his encounter with a crazed gunman credited as "Moriarty", which is the same name as Holmes' nemesis. Also, series creator David Shore has said that Dr. House's name is meant as a "subtle homage" to Sherlock Holmes (i.e., "homes")."
The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning show was created by David Shore and executive produced by Shore and Director Bryan Singer (who is known for his work on X-Men, X-Men: United, and Superman Returns).
Dr. Gregory House and the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
English actor Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House, an intelligent, deductive, and at times somewhat arrogant diagnostician at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. House heads a team of young diagnosticians (e.g., allergists, etc.) in handling patients whose presenting concerns fancied his interest (in most cases) and were misdiagnosed at other medical institutions.
Wikipedia.org describes the cases featured in House to be "exceptionally complex and subtle" and "rare," yet "realistic." The author of The Medical Science of House, M.D.—Andrew Holtz—added that the presenting concerns that come through the doors of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital can be further described as "a conglomeration of all the worst things that can happen to people from all over the world, crammed into one little community."
To date, I have only been able to watch two episodes ("Humpty Dumpty" and "Clueless") of House from start-to-finish on the Telly—both of which really pique my interest as I patiently waited for their "final diagnosis."
Is it possible for us to love Dr. House? He's grumpy, a total "know it all", is often biting in his remarks, and definitely doesn't have a bit of warm "fuzzy" behavior - yet, love him we do!
I missed this series for the first season, but was lucky enough to catch most of season 2. I became an immediate fan and couldn't wait to get my hands on the dvd's for season 1! If you love doctor shows like ER, etc., you will love House! Like most shows today, it can be a little graphic when we see inside the "sick" patient, but this actually aids us in following the thinking of House and his crew in trying to figure out what mysterious illness is afflicting them.
One of the best parts of each episode is when House has to do routine patient visits. Talk about telling it like it is - House is brutal with the patients. He never believes what they say and for the most part thinks they are just wasting his time. The interaction between the core group of characters is believable and edgy enough to keep us interested.
If you haven't seen House - I recommend this series highly! If you already like the series, what are you waiting for? This is a "must-add" to your collection of dvds!
I got House Season One fro christmas. I have been watching it non stop and I havent gotten sick of it. Dr. Gregory House, the sarcastic doctor and his team make this show the freshest drama yet. The key to its success is the accurate medical information that is accompanied by talented acting by Hugh Laurie and the rest of the cast. People that are interested in medicine, or know nothing at all can still enjoy this show.
The only problem I have found in the box set is that the special features are not that special. For example, the set tour is an awkward comentary by two actors, and there is a lot of repetition within the different featurettes.
Some good things about this box set is that there is a short description of the episode before it begins, something that, for the most part, is on the DVD case.
I am glad this show is on DVD and I recommend it to anyone who loves foresinc mystery stories, like CSI or Law & Order.

The Blisterwood Tree is a tree hidden in the Arboretum in Darkmeyer that the Vampyres fear. Being immortal, it has resisted centuries of attempts to kill it. They were once found all over Morytania, but after it was thought extinct, a single blisterwood tree started growing through a crack in the floor of a building in Darkmeyer. It had resisted all attempts to destroy it, so Drakan built a vault around it as an alternative. The Blisterwood Tree features in the quest Branches of Darkmeyer, where the player makes a weapon from its wood to fight the vampyres in Darkmeyer, Vanstrom Klause in particular[1].
It is believed that Queen Efaritay created the tree as a means of destroying the vampyres, making it unkillable and the greatest threat towards the vampyres and vyrewatch.
Upon first chopping this tree, you obtain 3 blisterwood logs. Later, you can fletch each log into one of the following:
- 10 blisterwood stakes - Ranged weapon that harms vampyres and does good damage for a thrown weapon
- A blisterwood staff - has a 5% boost for magic damage done, also allows damage against vampyres
- A blisterwood polearm - Requires 2 silver sickles, obtainable during the quest, does good damage against vampyres.
After the initial cut, players can chop the tree to obtain more logs. Eventually the tree will have to repair itself (similar to a normal tree falling over) by reattaching the ropes wrapped around its branches. It is possible to receive strange rocks by cutting the tree.
- In German worlds the tree is called "Dolor-", which is Latin and means pain. This references to the fact that the weapons created from the tree cause pain to Vampyres, or possibly that the tree itself is in pain.
- Cutting logs from this tree will not add to any of the Woodcutting urns.
- Vyrewatch in Darkmeyer hint that the tree is placed where the Icyene had their final fight with Drakan.

Now that "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe has garnered a Best Actress nomination at this year's Academy Awards, one important question remains: Who is she taking as arm candy to the Mar. 7 ceremony?
None other than Justin Timberlake ... well, as long as that's OK with him.

"I want to make Justin Timberlake and ["The Hurt Locker" star] Anthony Mackie fight it out for the honor of being my date," the self-described *NSYNC fanatic told Canadian TV show "eTalk" earlier this week.
"I'm just going to throw them in the ring and make them do it!"
During the interview, Gabby even turned to the camera and spoke to her crush directly, saying: "Justin, if you're not doing anything on that night, maybe you could be my date or something. It's fine. No pressure!"

Really, Justin, it's the least you could do considering the poor girl claims to have bought all of your houses.
Besides, wouldn't they make a "precious" pair?
