"I freaking hate time travel man.†Well Dean, I find these stories quite amazing. But every time this happens, it does sort of put you guys in a pickle, huh? Like trying to explain laptops to a time traveler.
Once again, the Winchesters are privy to an amazing twist of fate. John Winchester grew up without a father and Sam and Dean find out, strangely enough, that's because dear grandpa time travelled to the future, ended up saving them from a demon, and got killed in the process. Also a twist of fate, because Henry didn't come back, John never found out about his secret society, Men of Letters, and never carried on the family tradition of being what is essentially the librarians of the supernatural.
Sure, growing up without a dad is a fact that wasn't known before, but I guess if you look at it sideways it could work. It's not like John ever talked about his Dad (yes, I know about "In The Beginningâ€). The twist about the Men of Letters though makes a ton of sense to me, and it makes me smile. It connects a good number of things that we've learned through the years.
The mandated union of John and Mary Winchester up in Heaven makes so much more sense now, as appropriately eluded by Sam in the ending scene. Connecting a blood line of hunting prowess of the Campbells (brawn) with the deep supernatural knowledge of the Winchesters (brains)? That ties in with Dean's natural ability for hunting and Sam's natural ability for research. This especially makes me happy for Sam, who we know has struggled his entire life with identity. We always knew that hunting was in the family blood, but now we know that blood holds an innate skill for research. The thought of future Sam now carrying on the family line of keepers of the knowledge, while Dean carries on the hunting ways (while working together), makes me all sorts of happy.
But I'm getting ahead, because there's so much more to this story than a secret society. When your grandfather from the past, one that was absent in your family history, suddenly pops out of your closet, that's bound to surface some emotional baggage. For Dean, it's his lifelong abandonment issues. For Sam, it's…well…um, it's placating Dean's lifelong abandonment issues. Eventually both brothers form a connection with their grandfather in their own way, just in time to watch Henry get killed. Story of their lives.
The brotherly bond was at least strong in this episode, and as a fan I'll never tire of Dean going all out and doing what it takes to save Sam. The fact that he and Henry came up with a plan together, it does remind me of the Dean of old and I'll always smile over a family plan. The best part though is Sam and Dean are talking about things, sharing their ambivalent feelings about this sudden family reunion rather than withdrawing from each other. The emotional markers were all there, and they had a big impact.
Let's talk about Henry. I loved Henry and what Gil McKinney put into this role. He wasn't some badass that didn't care about his family. He loved John and was truly devastated when he found out John had died. I do admit to tearing up over his response when Dean asked what it meant to him. "Everything.†He was truly broken up over the fact that John grew up believing his father had left him. He also cared about his grandsons, felt proud of what they'd become and how they're carrying on the family name. It maybe cliché that he said this in his dying breath, but I still love these words anyway. "I didn't know my son as a man, but having met you two, I know I would have been proud of him.†That's a stark contrast to the gruff Samuel Campbell, who for some reason (*cough* poor writing *cough*) never really cared for his grandsons and their legacy. It's a truly refreshing perspective.
Henry is an intellect too, so that explains where Sam gets that from. He showed some really quick thinking and calmness under pressure when escaping Abaddon, and always kept his manners. Granted manners is probably due to the time period he came from, but it's nice to know he wasn't some uncorked lunatic. But what intrigued me the most is Henry's respect for legacy and tradition. Being in the Men of Letters meant a lot to him just because it was important to his dad and his dad before him. That mirrors what Dean has always thought in terms of hunting. He always wanted to be as good as his dad. Even though Dean and Henry butted heads, in that aspect it was the case again of the apple not falling far from the tree.
I'm especially amused with how little Henry thought of hunting, for it was too primitive. Plus the dude knows his legends. The one laugh out loud moment for me was when Henry saw the 2013 tag on the Impala. "Guess the Mayans were wrong.†It was sad to see him go, but he couldn't have survived either, and he definitely couldn't have gone back. He becomes yet another tragic victim in the Winchester family tree, which was properly echoed with Dean's comment that all he saw in it was a whole lot of dead.
Then there's a new kind of demon in town, part of the Knights of Hell. Hand chosen by Lucifer himself. I have a quibble with the demon story that I'll get to in a minute, but I will say I did love Alaina Huffman in this role. Her character, Abaddon, brought something that we haven't seen in a long time with demons outside of Crowley. Charisma and smarts. She's pure evil, pure fun, and she's a threat to be reckoned with. Demons in the past few years have been overly characterized as stupid and incompetent, and Abaddon was anything but. She even had that cool using-black-smoke-to-see-the-recent-events trick. Too bad it resulted in those unwilling sharers ending up dead.
However, despite all the good, there was the bad. In writing, I'm someone who believes everything should come full circle. I love a tightly written script, and this was something "Supernatural†did oh so well in the first five seasons. This script succeeded in some ways, and miserably failed in others. I do accept that there's only 42 minutes to tell such a complex story, but it was that inability to control various elements that prevented this episode from being a true classic.
First, why in the world was Dean so hostile with Henry? Because he chose duty over family? That made little sense, especially considering the hard choices both Sam and Dean made recently with Benny and Amelia. All Sam and Dean have ever done is put the job and duty above their own happiness and Dean has the nerve to hold Henry to a different standard? He claimed it was about John, but John did the exact same thing by raising them hunters. Was Dean trying to say through that outburst that if Henry stayed with John, then none of this misery would have ever happened? That's really stretching things a bit, don't you think?
Dean was also the one that stopped Henry from going back and essentially changing time. This is despite the fact that Dean twice tried to do the exact same thing in "In the Beginning†and "The Song Remains The Same.†He even argued that he and Sam wouldn't exist, which was actually something they were okay with in "The Song Remains The Same.†All he had to do was tell Henry something like, "Trust me, I've been there, nothing good can come of it,†and I would have been happy. Maybe even a reference to "What is and What Should Never Be†with him realizing that all those people they saved would of died. Instead, Dean looked like a hypocrite. It all comes across as false drama being created for the sake of scenery chewing. I theorize that Adam Glass watched "Jump the Shark†and went from there, forgetting all the history that happened after that.
Also, how in the world could this story ignore Sam's prominent role in the demon mythology? How can a powerful demon chosen by Lucifer himself not even acknowledge that Sam was Lucifer's vessel? I know she was from the past, but the knowledge about Sam was foretold by both angels and demons for a long time. Past time travelers have usually been able to sense something different about someone. She had to have found out in the future what Sam and Dean did to derail the apocalypse, and how Sam spent a huge amount of time with Lucifer in the cage. When none of that crucial back story works its way into this demon drama, it almost seems like Carver and company are trying to sweep that history under the rug like it never happened. The symmetry is ruined. One comment by Dean about stopping the apocalypse during a heated discussion doesn't cut it.
I also didn't like how passive Sam was when in the custody of Abaddon. He looked like a kicked puppy. He's usually sneering and very hostile toward demons. He also has been around the block with them a few times and has a few tricks up his sleeve. Heck, no one should know demons better! It's hard to believe this guy once wiped out demons with his mind. I miss those days. However, upon retrospect, there just wasn't enough time in this episode to show a defiant Sam talking up history with Abaddon, so I guess I'll let that nitpick slide, even if it gives the impression that Sam was acting out of character. Which he was.
Also, I've read complaints that there was a lack of chemistry between Dean, Sam and Henry, and I honestly believe that was due to the writing. Dean's hostility made things awkward, not intriguing. Sam passively doing nothing about it either, or not even trying to talk to Henry in an open manner didn't help. Because the interaction was poorly written, the scenes together just didn't blend the way they should, and could have. Adam Glass is usually pretty good at mythology, but characterization is his glaring weakness. This script showed it. I thought he actually got it right in "Southern Comfort,†but here it was a fail.
I've believed this ever since season six, but this newer crop of writers seem to be more interested a lot of time in writing in shout-outs more than tying in the current story with continuity of the past. John's journal in this episode was a prime example. Hey, let's give it a backstory! It was really Henry's. Did the journal really need a backstory, especially when John's upbringing was such a surprise to us? Considering John never showed any Daddy issues at all and they were never mentioned before? Considering Sam and Dean never noticed the "HW†before? It's a weakness in the writing that has driven me crazy for three seasons now and it remains despite Jeremy Carver's vast improvements in the storylines this year.
I also question a couple of other creative choices. Why did John believe that Henry walked out on him? Didn't anyone suspect foul play? It just seemed like they were stretching to create daddy issues. For once I'd like to see a prominent character on this show that didn't have daddy issues. I will however theorize that Dean keeps extra car windows handy in the trunk since they're getting smashed so much, and can install them in a flash. Either that or Henry time travelled backward and stopped himself from breaking that window. Speaking of which, how does a guy from 1958 know how to hot wire a car from 1967?
Technical Notes
Serge Ladoucer in his directing debut did a great job, but that was to be expected. This guy has been amazing us for eight seasons now with his gift of setting the perfect mood for scenes, so directing should have come second nature. It sure seemed liked it did anyway. I like how long time camera operator Brad Creasser got to be DP again, for the second episode in a row. He's learned from the master, and done remarkably well.
The decision to go with semi shaky camera work, using quick edits back and forth in the scenes is a very interesting creative choice, thus adding to the disjointed nature of the story. The camera never really stayed focused on one shot too long, accenting the instability of this whole situation. Notice how when Henry was in the past, everything was calm and right. Kudos Mr. Ladoucer for trying something different and adding to the effectiveness of this unique episode.
I am going to bring up one thinky-thought for discussion. Henry said in his parting words, "You're also Winchesters. As long as we're alive there's always hope.†Now, there's been some discussion on this site that because of Sam and Amelia's last fling, that Amelia would end up pregnant. Do you think that opened the door for something like that in the future, or was it just some writer grasping for a good line? Do you think a season or two down the road Sam and/or Dean find out about a kid of theirs (hey it could be Lisa too) and the Winchester legacy will continue? In a way, I kind of hope so. I hate for all this rich family history to die off with the boys. Both bloodlines deserve to continue. On the other hand, the surprise pregnancy is the most overdone thing in TV.
Overall, I give "As Time Goes By†a B. Coming up next, it's Edlund. You know it's going to be memorable.
(Screencaps from Home of The Nutty).
I agree and think it's a wonderful way forward for each brother's character to develop into a more mature adult storyline. I don't see a problem with Sam doing the research, as long as he gets to protect Dean and go along on all the hunts.Men of Letters hq possibilities for Sam, whose predilection for and abilities in academics haven't been followed up on for ages. I hope they really do use this opportunity to develop Sam and Dean individually and as brothers/as a team!
The season has been built on Sam not looking for Dean.
Something so false that it has influenced the whole season.
I don't understand why the writers couldn't have simply said that he looked but couldn't find him or that he did find out Dean was in Purgatory but that there was no way to reach him.
I think most fans would have been alright with that and Sam's integrity and his love for his brother wouldn't have been compromised; but never to have looked at all. No, that's never Sam. :(
You're right. They have thrown all this contrived brother drama at us and now it's as if it had never happened. Then what was the point in the first place?
I enjoyed this episode because the brothers were together on-screen for most of the time and the ep was focused on the Winchester family and its back-story which is really what Supernatural is all about.
I think it's lazy writing and another way to keep Sam from interacting with anyone except Dean and Amelia. They didn't even have to show a talk between Sam and Henry. Just have Henry ask "do you hate me too" and have Sam say no and start to talk then cut to commercial.
The writers are either completely holding back on showing Sam's POV purposefully because it is supposed to be a big deal or they have simply given up on writing Sam. In either case I'm frustrated by the fact that Sam doesn't even talk to people off screen, as well as on screen.
That is the key, will it be handled right? Given how Sam has been written so far this season I'm not convinced that it will be. I hope I'm wrong. I want more than anything for Sam to have a POV and friends that are just his to talk to.Rincewind
Quote:Men of Letters hq possibilities for Sam, whose predilection for and abilities in academics haven't been followed up on for ages. I hope they really do use this opportunity to develop Sam and Dean individually and as brothers/as a team!

I feel it is a good fit for the brothers and which agrees with canon. It is also a great opportunity to find a voice for Sam too. Having him become an expert on MoL gives him an opportunity to be an authority on something thus giving him a distinct role in the series. I know many fans are concerned that this will just sideline him, but I feel if handled right, this could be the great way to move forward.
I know right! I guess fitting ANYTHING else into this week's ep would have been too much indeed. I guess they were counting on him not showing up given his weird behaviour in TAF.Didn't the boys wonder where Cas was when they were threatened by this Knight of Hell? He has shown up for less.
Yes, only Cas and ... I forget what was his name? ... heaven's most adorable angel?... (I want to say Galadrial, but I'm confusing my angels and elves again). ANYWAY these are the only two angels besides Joshua who weren't 'dicks' (Deans words not mine). I cannot believe that there is an endless supply of demons and only a limited supply of angels. I think there is an angel hierarchy and Naomi is only one department. Just like the Abaddons of Hell, I am hoping there is going to be the equivalent in heaven.sorry I much prefer the Joshua type angels...they gotta be out there somewhere.
Am not sure, but as I understood it Sam meant "tap into souls. However, I am not sure as I remember when Crowley took some of Bobby's soul didn't he? I am sure Sam would have recalled that, so not sure what he meant here. How do you see it?Sam , in questioning Henry about how he managed to travel, observed that "only Angels could tap their souls "

RED WING, Minn. (AP) Police in southeastern Minnesota are investigating after an infant's body was discovered in linens from a St. Paul hospital.
The body of a full-term infant fell out of a bedsheet Tuesday afternoon at an industrial laundry in Red Wing.
Red Wing Police Chief Roger Pohlman says hospital workers had removed the body and linens from Crothall Laundry before his officers arrived.
He declined to name the hospital but said his office is in contact with St. Paul police and the Ramsey County medical examiner.
Pohlman says the linens had been delivered to Crothall no longer than two days ago.

>> Brian Tong here with CNET.com. And, yes; in my hand, this is the iPad. I've got to tell you that it does feel pretty sturdy. It has a nice weight to it. It's one and a half pounds and it's half an inch thick. And when you look at it, you might think, well, it looks like a really big iPod Touch. And it does have a lot of features very similar, but what they've done is actually rebuilt a lot of the core apps specifically for this device. So if you look at something like mail, you can see the layout of your emails; but you can actually view them here in the right-hand column. And you'll see this in a lot of the other applications. You also find a redesigned iTunes store, and what also makes this unique is the store itself is laid out differently. It's really taken advantage of the larger screen space, so you have a really -- a better user experience. You also have access to your photos. There's kind of a cool photo frame feature where you dock it and you press a button and it'll actually turn into this kind of digital photo frame. You also have access to movie content, as well, and all of your applications. Now, some of the unique innovative features of this device is the iBooks and iBooks book store. So what this is, this is a bookshelf. And much like iTunes, you can get access to books and instantly download them to the device. And then one of the main things that I think that makes this unique is, sure it's not EA, but this is a full-color screen. Also, you have the touch capability to turn pages; you can even take it nice and slow if you want to. Now, a lot of the apps, most of the apps that are currently on the app store will work with the iPad. They do have this feature that is basically a doubler that fills out the game to the screen. I can just click right here and it doubles the pixels. So you're still going to get a full screen experience. There will be apps that are customized specifically for the iPad, so you can wait and see that when the actual device releases. Another feature they're really pushing is being able to use some of their desktop apps from the iWorks Suite directly on the device. They have also been redesigned just for multi-test, so all you do is use your fingers. So you have an application that you're familiar with like Keynote, which is a PowerPoint application, and this will allow you to interact with your slide show and use it with your hands. Now, the iPad, what's the pricing going to start at? Well, there's two flavors, really. There's a WiFi version and then a WiFi with 3G. If you want the entry level WiFi model, that's going to start at 499 and go up to 699. Then, if you want a WiFi in 3G version, that's going to start at $629 and go all the way up to $829 for the 64 gig version. Now, the iPad overall, it is a unique innovative device. I don't feel really super-compelled to buy one at the moment, but I really think that will change as more media content that you can interact with that makes it a unique experience comes out. Overall, there's your first look at the iPad. I'm Brian Tong with CNET.com. ^M00:02:33 [ Music ]

Apple iPad (16GB, AT&T, 3G) Review
The good: In an act of aggressive tech convergence, Apple has consolidated your Netbook, e-reader, gaming device, photo frame, and iPod into an elegant, affordable supergadget. Features such as Bluetooth, 802.11n Wi-Fi, movie rentals, 10 hours of battery life, optional 3G wireless, and the most-celebrated App Store on the planet have us pretty worked up.
The bad: The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage. As a jack-of-all-trades and a master of few, the iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialized products it seeks to replace. The iPad's lack of front or rear cameras, Flash support, and integrated HD video output already have us pining for next year's model.
The bottom line: The Apple iPad is the first affordable tablet computer worth owning, but it won't (yet) replace your laptop.

Not safe at all, use a prepaid visa card to buy my apps. No risk other than they might take the whole 20 bux out.
i also use a prepaid credit card. makes me feel better. and i cant go crazy buying apps, because i only have $20 to get on apps at any time

I have not had any problems with using my card through google for apps.
it's not safe if a hacker were to get a virus on your phone.

I don't think it's any more risky than using any other automated service with your phone. I mean, if your bank allows you to check your accounts using your phone, then it's essentially the same thing. It's actually worse, since your bank probably would require you to input your account number and your PIN, which google doesn't need.
I don't think it's too much of a risk, but ya know, using a prepaid CC might not be a bad idea. The only problem is that I'd probably reload it using my phone, if I it was an option.
I trust them. My bank would inform me of any strange activity anyway, they always do.
I trust it 100% because as stated before it goes directly to google. However, no one's information is 100% safe but if a hacker wanted your information I don't think there's much in the way we can do to stop them.

From the minute you hear Kristen Bell's hard-boiled voiceover, it's clear that some things never change — though Veronica might allege she has. Veronica Mars' titular hero claims to have moved on from her time as a teen detective ("Trust me, I know how dumb that sounds.") in favor of a prestigious career as a New York lawyer. Though Veronica might claim to be a marshmallow now, when she learns Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) is a murder suspect (again!) she doesn't hesitate before resorting back to the righteously indignant and dogged detective we fell for all those years ago.
So who's Logan suspected of murdering this time? None other than Carrie Bishop (Andrea Estella), or as the world now knows her, Bonnie DeVille, troubled pop star and Logan's ex-girlfriend. (How many dead ex-girlfriends can one guy have?)

So Logan pleads to Veronica in the first Veronica Mars movie trailer, which premiered Friday at Comic-Con.

UPDATE 3-FirstEnergy to shut two Pennsylvania coal power plants
- Tweet
- Share this
July 9 (Reuters) - FirstEnergy Corp will shut two coal-fired power plants in Pennsylvania by Oct. 9 due to weak power prices and the high cost of complying with stricter environmental rules, the company said on Tuesday.
In a federal filing, FirstEnergy said it would recognize an impairment charge of about $488 million ($321 million after tax) in the second quarter of 2013 for the shutdowns.
The plants are Hatfields Ferry in Masontown and Mitchell in Courtney, FirstEnergy said in a release. It expects the shutdown of the two plants to affect about 380 employees.
Together, the company said the plants could generate 2,080 megawatts, about 10 percent of its total capacity. One megawatt can power about 1,000 homes.
FirstEnergy said it would cost about $275 million to install the equipment at the two plants to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, about 15,000 MW of coal-fired power plants have closed as low electricity and natural gas prices have made it uneconomical for generating companies to upgrade those facilities to keep up with the government's stricter environmental rules.
Those generating companies have also announced plans to shut more than 37,000 MW of coal-fired units over the next 10 years or so.
FirstEnergy said it expected to invest about $650 million in mercury-related control technology to enhance or modify existing air quality equipment or install new equipment on its remaining facilities.
After these upgrades, FirstEnergy said it expected to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides by 84 percent, sulfur dioxide by 95 percent and mercury by 91 percent below 1990 levels. In addition, the company expects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 20 percent to 30 percent below 1990 levels by 2020.
The shutdown of the two plants is subject to review for reliability impacts by PJM Interconnection, which operates the power grid serving 61 million people in 13 U.S. mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states and the District of Columbia.
After those closings, FirstEnergy will still operate a fleet of power plants with combined generating capacity of more than 18,000 MW, it said. Of that, 56 percent will be from coal, 22 percent from nuclear, 13 percent renewable and 9 percent gas and oil.
Hatfields Ferry's three 530 MW units entered service from 1969-1971. There are two units at Mitchell - a 278 MW coal unit that entered service in 1963 and an 82 MW oil/gas unit that entered service in 1949.
FirstEnergy Corp. sales in the first three months of the year rose 9 percent, compared with the same time in 2010 to $3.6 billion.
But profits were just $45 million, or 15 cents per share, down 70 percent from $149 million, or 51 cents per share, in last year's first quarter.
The company cited expenses associated with its $4.7 billion stock purchase of Allegheny Energy, a Pennsylvania electric utility, along with higher maintenance and operating costs. And it said the merger with Allegheny will accelerate profits over the next several years."
So a little over a year ago FirstEnergy said profits were down due to the acquisition of Allegheny Energy and higher maintenance and operating costs. Now, a year later they are blaming low profits and closing some plants,"due to weak power prices and the high cost of complying with stricter environmental rules"! Either they lied a year ago, or they are lying now ! ! !

After licensing the David Haye vs. Dereck Chisora fight in place of the British Boxing Board of Control, the Federation of Luxemburg Boxing has lost its membership status to the European Boxing Union. Here, find an open letter from the FLB to the EBU in relation to this ruling.Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:As you are aware, the Fédération Luxembourgeois de Boxe (FLB) lost its membership status of the European Boxing Union (EBU) – of which FLB was a founding member! – over the licensing of the David Haye vs Dereck Chisora fight on July 14, 2012 in London, England.While we contend that this act was in truth based on the fact, that the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) wishes to discourage anddiscriminate other European national federations from licensing professional boxing in the United Kingdom – an illegal process by the BBBofC according to European Union free trade and monopoly laws, as we all know – the official reason given for the "expulsion" of FLB from the EBU was "that san...

Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid Movie Review
If the sequel had one scene like that, then, I would have left the theater a happy camper. However, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid does not. That is a big problem.
A crew, consisting mainly of research scientists and other brainiacs, makes its way to Borneo in the hopes of finding the rare blood orchid. The leader of the group, Gordon (Morris Chestnut, this time keeping his shirt on) wants to make the "pharmaceutical equivalent of the fountain of youth" from the powerful flower.
Of course, the trip is doomed. It's rainy season in Borneo, so the going on the rivers is rough, time is tight (the flower only blooms for a short period of time every seven years) and its mating season for the anacondas. The intrepid crew finds itself in the middle of the snakes' dinnertime after its boat plummets down a waterfall and shatters like a dinner plate. The men and women survive, but their numbers start to dwindle as the anacondas start biting and greed consumes one member of the party.
Audience members will most likely be consumed by boredom. Director Dwight H. Little (Marked for Death, Murder at 1600) decides to direct seriously. He doesn't play up the snake as a fright figure -- we rarely see its viciousness. The snakes lurk underwater, chase the characters through the dark, but we rarely see their blood-drenched fangs or awesome killing capabilities. Nobody gets chomped or spit out. Instead, we hear about their digestion capabilities and their mating rituals. I would hate to think that Voight died in vain.
Anacondas needs violence and camp appeal, especially because the movie's four screenwriters offer us no one to relate to, no one whose fear we can feel through the screen. We have the naïve and comely blonde, the stuffy scientist, the overtly hip-hop-influenced computer geek (the annoying as jock itch, yammering Eugene Byrd), and the verbally sparring couple out of TV's Moonlighting. The casting is ridiculous. The women look fantastic, the kind for whom Victoria's Secret was created for; the men look as if they can bench press small automobiles. Who knew the science field was so jam-packed with beautiful people?
The movie does deliver upon the promises offered in its title, and little else. Those looking for more entertainment value for their dollar should see The Manchurian Candidate. Jon Voight also meets an untimely, ghastly demise here, but Jonathan Demme's remake is relevant, thrilling and perfectly cast; all things that Anacondas is not.
They're all out of espresso!

Having been a cheapskate and used the free firewall from zone alarm for over a year I decided to go out on a limb and actually pay for something and boy am I glad I did. Before this I was running various spyware and anti-virus, now no need it does it all. For a while I kept my other programmes just to be safe but after scanning with this they never found a thing and are now gone, resigned to history. at £25 I feel I have had a real bargain here before when I had been on line for long periods I found that my spyware tool would pick up sometimes dozens of spyware this doesn't happen with zone alarm as it constantly scans and removes the unwanted as ...

VIDEO: Chef Showdown
The Food Network's Iron Chefs have nothing on the chefs that spend their days in the kitchens of area kitchens. And they're not afraid to put their culinary skills to the test. Every Tuesday night this spring, Harley Smith, executive chef of 10 Center in Newburyport, is inviting guest chefs from the region to a face-to-face cook-off. Last week, Kevin Carney of Cassis Bistro Francais in Andover accepted Smith's challenge. The two chefs spent the day in 10 Center's kitchen, each preparing a three-course meal built around three key ingredients that they served to diners that night.

"excellent for class presentations"
5.0 starson by drvrltdPros: I have used this projector since May, 09 with no problems. The advantage of this unit is the built in speakers and built in DVD player. I travel to teach classes and it is convenient not to have to carry a separate DVD player and a set of speakers.
Cons: I would be nice if the carry case had a velcro flap for the power cord and remote. Also I have to take the batteries out of the remote when I store it. The tight fitting pocket will constantly press the buttons and discharge them.
Summary: I like the projector because it is easy to carry and set up. It has been dependable so far and I'm on the first bulb with approx. 300 hours of use. The bulbs are less costly than most projectors and one of the reasons I decided on this model. I use a 70 inch screen for class sizes of about 35 people and the picture and sound quality are suberb.

Given the buzz surrounding the Windows phone, we thought a little rundown of Microsoft's mobile operating system would be helpful. (The Windows 7 phone was released in 2010 but failed to garner the same attention as its successor, Windows 8). Customers may groan over AT&T and Mobile Share >>Even though I am an avid Apple consumer, Droid remained popular in my field of vision. I had absolutely no idea Microsoft was working to pull out all the stops on its third version of its mobile software, Windows Phone. Windows 8 is based around an awesome design concept called Metro, which is a simple but powerful typeface that welcomes and guides users through the Windows phone apps. (Metro is also a feature of Microsoft's desktop and laptop software.) Always in charge: How to keep your mobile devices charged up >>Microsoft releases Windows 8 phone to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile with the HTC and Nokia Lumia 820. Manufacturers include HTC and Nokia. All the phones with Windows 8 are sleek rectangles with touch screens — extremely similar to Apple's iPhone. Major standout points of the Windows 8 phone: Pinterest inspiredSleek screen with simple icons on the home screen directing you to your phone, music, email, or other apps. Microsoft describes the home screen with the phrase, "You are what you pin" and followers of Pinterest will appreciate the relationship between the beautifully designed Windows 8 home screen and the intuitive flow of a Pinterest board. Customized personalityBright and fun color combinations. The phone definitely has personality. This goes back to Microsoft's whole Metro design concept. And really, for consumers who aren't into Apple's iPhone, the Windows 8 phone seems like a great alternative without sacrificing design and intuitive features. A revised Apple iOSHowever, one thing is undeniable and that is the link to Apple's iPhone. Maybe Apple just raised the bar in terms of design. But with the introduction of Windows Stores across the U.S. a few years ago and obvious connection to Apple's advertising style — see for yourself in the commercial below — it seems Microsoft took the simplicity of Apple and infused it with a bit more vibrancy for mass consumption. Regardless, the Windows 8 phone is sure to be a major competitor within the smartphone market and the U.S. release of Microsoft's Windows 8 was a long time coming. I was pleasantly surprised at the design of Windows 8, and it seems the tech industry buzz will no doubt propel the Windows 8 into early interest from consumers. Maybe the Windows 8 phone can catch up the Apple's iPhone after all. Check out the commerical below from Microsoft introducing the Windows 8 phone to consumers.

KEYSER, W.Va. — Potomac State College goalkeeper Conor Fungaroli was voted to the All-Region XX men's soccer team for the second season in a row, and was joined on this year's first team by teammates Gudie Guzman and Steve Holtschneider.
Fungaroli, a sophomore from Bedford, Pa., gave up just 10 goals and posted 10 shutouts in leading the Catamounts' stingy defense. He was also voted to the Region XX all-tournament team. This year, he had a 0.69 goals against average and an .836 save percentage.
Guzman, a sophomore forward/midfielder from El Salvador, led the team and was 37th nationally with seven assists. In his two seasons, he scored three goals and had 13 assists.
Holtschneider, a sophomore and former area high school star at Northern Garrett, scored six goals and had one assist, giving him eight goals and three assists during his PSC career. Like Fungaroli, Holtschneider was also selected to the Region XX all-tournament team.
Former Mountain Ridge High standout Justin Winebrenner was voted to the All-Region XX second team and the Region XX all-tournament team. He had five goals and four assists this year and nine goals and six assists over his two years at Potomac State.
The Region XX sophomore all-star game was played at Anne Arundel Community College on Nov. 2. Representing the Catamounts were Nathan Main and Henry Herkes of Australia, and former area standouts Jeffrey Trautwein (Northern) and Garrett Kiddy (Allegany).
Main, a midfielder, had three goals and two assists during his PSC career, and Herkes scored three goals as a defensive midfielder. Kiddy had four goals and five assists in two seasons. Trautwein was a two-year starting midfielder.
Potomac State finished the year with a 15-3 record and reached the Region XX championship game, which Montgomery-Rockville won 1-0.
Freshman Chris Ranker, of Mountain Ridge, finished tied for 14th in the country among NJCAA Division III players in goals with 14, and sophomore Trey Ogilvie tied for 21st with 12 goals.

This is the last and final part of the 'How to make true friends' series. You can see the links to the other six parts at the end of this article.
Be yourself
If you've read all the other parts of the series you will have a strategy for getting to know yourself and getting to know others. Now I want you to take all that knowledge, roll it into a little ball and then I want you to be yourself.
What does 'Be yourself' mean?
How many times have you heard someone say 'Just be yourself'. You're going for an interview and someone gives the sage advice 'you'll be great, just be yourself' , after you've picked them up off the floor and apologised for smacking them in the mouth, you ask yourself 'what does that mean?'
Being yourself means you are comfortable with who you are and you are confident enough to realise that not everyone will have the same opinion of you. You will not be at the stage of trying to impress everyone all of the time and you'll know this is impossible anyway. You'll know that what others think about you does not matter, and you will save so much time in your life by not worrying about what others are thinking about you.
We have all met these types of people before and they are instantly recognisable. They have a quiet confidence about them, they are not brash, not 'in your face' confident, not loud, just confident within themselves, not afraid to speak up and not afraid to voice their opinion when needed. That's what being yourself means.
It's a shame, but most people do not become confident within themselves until later on in life. That comes with all the realisations in life and that it really doesn't matter what others do, say or think.
How to 'be yourself'
Unfortunately you can't learn to be yourself by reading this article but I can give you hints on developing yourself enough to really be yourself.
- Know the person you want to be – List all the qualities that you really admire in people and develop those skills within yourself.
- Be quiet for one whole day – For one whole day try and not to breathe a word to anybody. If you are on the phone all day this will be difficult but try not to speak to your colleagues. Watch how others are interacting with each other; watch how they react to you being quiet. You might feel uncomfortable at first but you will soon develop a silent confidence that it is you who is in control of you, and not others who are controlling you. This is a powerful exercise and it's hard to describe here but I would urge you to try it.
- Be honest – I mentioned this in part 3 of this series. Honesty is a powerful tool, yet it is not used enough. Be honest with yourself, really honest and you will learn a lot about yourself. Be honest with others and you will learn even more about yourself and others.
- Dress the way you want to dress – 'It's not the clothes that wear the person it's the person that wears the clothes' If you like a particular style of clothing but have never had the courage to wear it, next time you are out, buy the clothes you like, wear them, and hold your head high. This all helps to assert your individuality.
- Like yourself – It might sound a strange thing to say but I love my own company. I could spend days just being by myself and not be bored. I have developed this over time. If you are not comfortable with your own company how do you expect others to be comfortable with you? If you can, spend a few days alone and you will really learn a lot about yourself. I don't mean sit and watch TV for 2 days, I mean go out shopping, go to a restaurant, go to the cinema, read a book.
- Never gossip – If you're a gossip, stop it right now. You are giving your power and energy away by gossiping about other people, no matter how much people listen to you when you have juicy gossip.
- Create a set of principles and values – This is another powerful tool to learn. Think about a set of principles and values you would like to live by and start living them, e.g.
Never gossip
Always be honest but tactful
Family comes first
Always be on time
Be trustworthy
Be faithful
Hard working
These are obviously just a few and I am sure you have your own principles and values. However, a lot of people don't know what principles and values they live by. So it is good to look at the type of life you wish to lead, look at the core values and develop your life around these.
If you have read all the other parts of this series you will notice a common thread among them all and that is know yourself and be comfortable with who you are. Until you really get to know yourself and know how you want to live your life, making friends might be difficult or you may make bad choices.
I really hope you have enjoyed this series, I enjoyed writing it. I will be making this into an eBook if you are interested in buying it. I will put it on my CYT Guides page in the next few weeks or so, however you can read it all here for free:

When Nasdaq OMX Global Indexes director David Krein was a business school student in the late 1990s, the term "exchange-traded fund" was little known to most of Wall Street, let alone a university classroom.
Now, Krein, who heads index research at Nasdaq, is teaching what he and his industry colleagues are calling a first-of-its-kind MBA course focused exclusively on indexing and ETFs - securities that often track an index or a basket of shares and can be traded in real time like stocks.
The course is a testament to the growing importance of the $2.2 trillion global market in ETFs, which has soared roughly 140-fold since 1998, when it was only $16 billion in size.
"Universities are starting to see a need to train their students to function in a world where ETFs are a key part of the investment process," said Scott Kubie, chief investment strategist at Omaha-based CLS Investments, LLC, which designs ETF portfolios.
Kubie, who himself used to teach portfolio management and securities analysis courses at the undergraduate and MBA level, said most core university investment courses are focused on securities analysis of individual stocks or other derivatives. These courses may dedicate only a lecture or two to ETFs rather than an entire semester.
"I haven't heard of anything like it," said Kubie, referring to Krein's course, which is in its first semester at Rutgers Business School in Piscataway, New Jersey.

From The Wall Street Journal:
Trading in dark pools and other off-exchange venues has been rising in recent years. About 14% of all stock trades in the U.S. now take place on dark pools, up from 3% in 2007, according to Tabb Group, which tracks electronic trading. Total trading away from exchanges hit a record of 37% of all trading volume in January, according to NYSE Euronext NYX -0.65%.
A rise in off-exchange trading could hurt investors, some said. A 2010 study by Rutgers Business School professor Daniel Weaver found that a NYSE-listed stock with 40% of its volume trading in the dark costs investors about $4 million per stock a year.
The reason: With more investors trading in the dark, fewer buy and sell orders are being placed on exchanges. That can translate into worse prices for stocks, because prices for stocks are set on exchanges.
Exchanges have been scrambling to turn the tide. One tactic in recent years has been to cater to high-frequency firms in order to capture the rivers of buy and sell orders they provide. With more orders on the exchanges' books, investors might get better prices and find it easier to trade, they hoped.

What a biased and ridiculous review. Just because you are willing or want to check your oil every hundred miles does not mean that that has anything to do with luxury. There are plenty of intelligent knowledgeable people here who want there car to take them several thousand miles without having to check fluids. That in itself is luxury. If Lexus and others can do it then so should GM. Part of buying a good vehicle is it's reliability. One of the reasons Saturn is gone is because they built oil burners. Also if your car is using oil it is doing it at the expense of the engine, cooling system or the catalytic converters, oil does not vanish.
