'Vertigo' trumps 'Citizen Kane' in critics poll
Wednesday - 8/1/2012, 4:31pm  ET
NEW YORK (AP) - Alfred Hitchcock has finally usurped Orson Welles.
Hitchcock's "Vertigo" took the top spot in the 10 greatest-movies-ever list compiled by Sight & Sound, ending the 50-year run for Welles' "Citizen Kane." The magazine, published by the British Film Institute, surveys international film critics every decade.
"Citizen Kane" slid to second, making way for Hitchcock's 1958 psychological drama starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. "Vertigo" edged "Citizen Kane" by 34 votes in the poll, which gathered lists from 846 critics, programmers, academics and distributors.
"Vertigo" has gradually inched up the poll in recent decades, as Hitchcock's thriller has steadily grown in stature since its initial mixed reception.
The list also includes a new addition: Dziga Vertov's "Man With a Movie Camera," coming in at eighth place. It's the first documentary to make the list since it was founded in 1952.
Yasujiro Ozu's "Tokyo Story" ranked third, followed by Jean Renoir's "The Rules of the Game"; F.W. Murnau's "Sunrise"; Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey"; and John Ford's "The Searchers." Carl Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" ranks ninth followed by Federico Fellini's "8 1/2."
All of the top 10 were made more than 40 years ago.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Beginning as a party house in the forties, the then private home had one of the largest hardwood living room floors around, perfect for dancing the night away. In the fifties it was known as the Harpeth Valley Tea Room owned by Lon and Annie Loveless. In 1951 it became the Loveless Cafe and in the seventies and eighties "the modest roadside eatery that once had been Nashille's secret went national. Discovered by food writers . . . the Loveless found itself recognized as a precious cultural institution." As fast food gained popularity travelers were looing for old-fashioned country cookin'.
The Loveless Cafe is like stepping back in time, where the biscuits and jams are made from scratch and the pork is cooked until the meat falls off the bone. It's an institution in Nashville and a favorite destination of celebrities and locals alike. The Loveless offers an authentic experience that reminds people of their childhood and of great southern traditions.
"One of the five 'Best Places in America for Breakfast.'" ―CBS This Morning
"If you want to taste the best country cooking anywhere, you just need to go to my favorite restaurant, The Loveless Cafe. Everything they serve is great. I guarantee it! Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit." ―George Jones
"Loveless Restaurant, the real McCoy of Southern cooking." ―USA Today

The Maine: Garrett's Film Blog September 13 2012 By: Pat Kirch
On our North American tour in the summer of 2012 I started using a film camera to capture random moments through my day. I had no prior knowledge on film photography and these photos are me learning how to use a camera. Not every photo is in focus or the lighting on most aren't even close to correct but each photo tells a story. In a world where anyone can capture anything they want with the ease of pulling out there phone, film really pushes you to capture the perfect moment. Non of these photos were digitally touched up at all. You can't take a 100 pictures of one thing and then go back a delete all the bad ones. You must time everything perfect because you only get one chance. You can't instantly look at what you happened to capture you must wait till you go and get your film developed. That is the my favorite part of film because once you get your photos back it's almost like time traveling back to the moment you took it. On tour so much happens every single day and you are somewhere new it's hard not to forget the random moments throughout the day. Film has given me the ability to relive times that over years could have disappeared. Well I hope you enjoy these photos and maybe make you interested in getting a film camera for yourself.

CES: Intel Wireless Display: One year later
We revisit Intel's laptop-to-TV streaming technology from last year's CES, and see how it stacks up against the competition at the end of 2010.
At last year's CES, Intel Wireless Display was one of our Best of CES nominees, standing out for its potential to bring streaming Internet video to an HDTV from a laptop over its own dedicated wireless channel, including audio. In fact, it was your pick as Best in Show, winning the People's Voice Award (as determined by a user poll).
Let's go back to early 2010: back then, connecting a laptop to a TV with a wired connection was still the best way to get Internet video content such as Hulu and Netflix without an additional set-top box. Despite having a slight delay in the video/audio signal, and requiring a $99 Push2TV box from Netgear plugged into an HDTV or non-HD television to receive the signal, the benefits seemed clear, and for those looking to make a laptop into a home entertainment solution, there was no better choice.
Hands-on with Intel's Wireless Display
Times have changed, indeed, although Intel Wireless Display really hasn't. The debut of Apple's iPad, and its support of Netflix, Hulu Plus, and other streaming services, has changed the equation a bit, even if the iPad doesn't support Flash. Video game consoles now have Netflix across the board, and even (on the PS3, at least) Hulu Plus and Vudu. TV sets are including an ever-increasing number of Internet apps for accessing digital content, and set-top boxes such as the Boxee Box, the next-gen Roku box, and Apple TV offer a variety of solutions.
When it comes to methods of getting Internet or computer-stored video content on your TV, your options come to this:
1) Streaming video app-enabled TVs, game consoles, and set-top boxes/DVRs/Blu-ray players. The options here are numerous, including the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Apple TV, Roku XDS, TiVo, and a number of Blu-ray players. These all have limitations: each one only has certain apps, and, in most cases, no easy access to Internet streaming content. Two more Web-enabled boxes are the Boxee Box and the Logitech Revue/Google TV, but their built-in Flash-enabled Web browsers are less useful than originally envisioned because primo content providers (Hulu.com, ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, Comedy Central) are blocking streams to those devices.
2) DLNA-enabled boxes for streaming video from your PC to your TV. These include the Boxee Box, Blu-ray players with DLNA compatibility, the Sony SMP-N100, the PS3, the Xbox 360, WD TV Live Hub, WD TV Live Plus, the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex TV, and the Logitech Revue/Google TV. What you'll also need is a PC or server with content that's in a recognizable format for DLNA streaming, and software to enable your PC to act as a content server. This is for file hoarders who have lots of digital music and movie files on their hard drives--not for those looking to stream videos straight off the Web. (Apple TV can loosely be included in this category, but note that it can only stream files that are in iTunes--which means you'll need to do a time-consuming conversion process first for most video files that weren't purchased from Apple.)
3) Screen-mirroring technology. This approach uses a go-between wireless transmitter to throw whatever's on your screen onto an HDTV or monitor, mirroring everything that appears. This applies to Intel Wireless Display, but also to new technologies such as Veebeam and various Wireless HDMI products such as the Asus WiCast. While it requires a nearby laptop, it's the most flexible method of watching content online, since it's not susceptible to the aforementioned browser-blocking issue that's afflicted Boxee and Google TV in various ways.
Intel Wireless Display comes built into some laptops that have it and it's relatively easy to set up, but requires that $99 box (though you can find it for under $80 at some retailers). Veebeam is compatible with most full-size (non-Netbook) Windows PCs and Macs, and uses a USB stick to act as the streaming enabler to the included TV-connected box. Its resolution isn't quite as clear as Intel Wireless Display, and it costs $150, but it's a nice way to turn an existing laptop wireless. The Asus WiCast--a PC-friendly Wireless HDMI solution--offers higher-resolution streaming up to 1080p and can play back Blu-ray content, but it requires a large strap-on box to be attached to your laptop, and costs $200.
Intel Wireless Display has one restriction: it blocks playback of DVD and Blu-ray content from the Wi-Di-enabled laptop. That's not a deal-breaker, since we can't think of anyone who would use this who doesn't already own a DVD player, and Wi-Di's maximum resolution of 720p isn't ideal for Blu-rays, anyway. (The same restriction applies to the Veebeam.)
Intel Wireless Display's biggest perk is that it can turn your TV into a second monitor, streaming content to it while you browse the Web or do other work on your laptop. That's a huge plus, effectively freeing your laptop from being enslaved while streaming. WiCast does the same thing. Veebeam can mirror what's on your laptop's display, or it can send compatible video files directly to the TV--but that latter option won't work with Web video, which requires the screen-mirroring mode. (It works well, but it means you can't be doing other work on the laptop simultaneously.)
Apple has offered a competing type of solution with Apple TV: AirPlay. Unfortunately, the initial iteration of AirPlay is pretty limited. It can stream the audio from most iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad apps directly to your big-screen TV (via the Apple TV), but video streaming is currently only compatible with the Apple video player (iTunes content) and YouTube. It's impressive technology, but it doesn't accomplish what Wi-Di aims to do--namely, get any and all PC-based video, including streaming Internet content, onto your big screen.
The biggest hindrance to Intel Wireless Display's success is its limited availability, even a year later. A handful of very good laptops include Wi-Di, most notably the Samsung QX410, the Toshiba Portege R705, the Sony Vaio EA series, and certain Dell Inspiron R and XPS models, but finding which laptops have it isn't always easy. Even more frustratingly, no HDTVs include native compatibility for Wi-Di, which would be a lot more appealing than using the clunky and pricey Netgear box.
Come CES 2011, it won't be surprising to see Intel announce improvements to Wireless Display, perhaps higher resolutions and less lag. Is it worth waiting? Right now, we wouldn't go out of our way to buy a laptop with Intel Wireless Display inside--but it's still the least bulky and most convenient way to stream video to a TV. If you think you might use it, buying a laptop with Wi-Di isn't a bad bet at all. But there are also more good alternatives now than ever before.

Aiguille Verte - a beautiful and prominent mountain of the Mont Blanc Range
- The Aiguille Verte (4122 m) is one of the most prominent mountains of the Mont Blanc range. It is very visible from Argentière.
Besides Mont Blanc and Grandes Jorasses, Aiguille Verte is one of the most beautiful mountains of the Mont Blanc Massif - because of the huge rigdes.
Eberlein calls it even the most beautiful mountain of the Alps at all (Eberlein, 357).
South Side of Aiguille Verte - Photo by gabriele |
- Besides the famous couloirs (NE and NW), the big ridges are interesting for climbers. The most beautiful route is probably the traverse Sans Nom - Jardin Ridge.
Even the Moine Ridge (SW ridge) is not easy. Therefore the Aiguille Verte is the most difficult 4000 m peak of the Alps.
Historical Notes
- First ascent: E. Whymper with Ch. Almer and F. Biner on 29. June 1865.

Getting There
Sillhouette of the Drus - Aiguille Verte - Les Droites and Les Courtes (Photo by pvangeenen) |
To the Aiguille Verte
- You can come from the Ref. d'Argentiere.
You can come from the Ref. de Couvercle.
To the Ref. d'Argentiere
- In order to reach the hut, you have 3 possibilities:
From Croix de Lognan (1970 m) in 3 - 3,5 h, to Croix de Lognan with cable car from Argentière: From Croix de Lognan, you go on foot up over the morainecrest till about 2250 m. Than you continue horizontally to the glacier, which you follow on the orographically left side. After about 1 km, the glacier becomes steeper and more torn. You climb onto the morain of the Rognons, first over a slippery shelf, then via a marked way which you follow until you reach the upper end of the ice break. You climb the glacier in SE direction and reach over the moraine the hut.
On foot from Argentière in 5 h: From the ground station of the cable car, you follow the wide aisle of the ski-run. You leave it at the height of about 1750 m and reach the way of the middle station of the cable car (2 h). Now, you need 3 h to the hut.
From Aiguille des Grands Montets (summit station of the cable car from Argentière; last train up: 4:45 p.m.) in 2 h: From the summit station, you go via a stairway to the Col des Grandes Montets. You traverse a bergschrund (maybe with the help of a rope) and go up the steep hang to the Glacier Rognons. You go in ENE direction on the western side along P. 3000 to P. 2754 m. You go down in south-eastern direction of the glacier d'Argentière, which you reach above the ice break. From here in 2 h to the hut.
You reach Argentière by train (from Martigny/CH or Geneva or Annecy - TGV to St. Gervais), bus (from Annecy, Geneva, Grenoble, Courmayeur, Aoste and Turin) or car from Geneva or Martigny (Switzerland) via Vallorcine and the Col des Montets.
To the Ref. de Couvercle
- You reach the hut from Montenvers in 3,5 h over the glacier. From Montenvers to the starting point of the hiking way to the Ref. d'Envers des Aiguilles: You have to follow the way in direction of Les Echelles which goes slightly down to the western side of the Mer de Glace. But before you enter the Glacier, you have to follow the way on the western side of the glacier for about 20 min. Now you have to go up the glacier first more on the western side, then just through the middle in SE direction of Les Moulins. Now you do not follow the marking signs to the moraines but continue in S and then E direction of the steep passages at Les Egralets (partly a little bit like a way). You go the steep passages up and via a good way through grass hangs to a moraine, from which you reach the hut soon.
You can reach the hut via a new climbing track below the Flammes de Pierre and the ends of the Aig. du Moine to the Ref. du Couvercle. But because of ice avalanches, some passages of this route have become very dangerous. You have to ask for the actual conditions. 3,5 h from Montenvers to Couvercle.
To Montenvers:
With the special Montenvers-train from Chamonix. The train goes the whole year except from the middle of November till the middle of December. The first train starts during the season often not before 8 a.m., the last train down not after 6.30 p.m.
Or on foot from Chamonix on the marked way via Biollay in 2,5 h.
You reach Chamonix by train (from Martigny/CH or Geneva or Annecy - TGV to St. Gervais), bus (from Annecy, Geneva, Grenoble, Courmayeur, Aoste and Turin) or car from Geneva or Martigny (Switzerland) via Vallorcine, the Col des Montets and Argentière.
You reach the Chamonix Valley by train:
- From Martigny (Switzerland) via Vallorcine.
From Geneva (airport) via Anncey (TGV till here) and St. Gervais.
You reach the Chamonix Valley by bus:
- From/via Annecy, Geneva, Grenoble, Courmayeur, Aoste and Turin
You reach the Chamonix Valley by car:
- From Geneva (from the NW) on the A40 till St. Gervais and from here on the N205.
From Martigny (from the NE, Switzerland) via Vallorcine and the Col des Montets on the road no. N506.

Just in case there is anyone out there who reads these blogs daily, I will begin by explaining that yes, I know this is the second entry today. However, I have to get up very early tomorrow morning and head immediately to the airport, spend most of the day on a plane, and it seems wiser to write tomorrow's entry this evening.
We all know that physicians and patients see things differently. What we don't really know is how differently and which things and are there ways to modulate the differences and find common ground. This is a really interesting report on a study by A.Sheik-Yosouf and colleagues at the University of Toronto about perspectives on the treatment of metastatic (Stage IV) breast cancer. I have long known that women and their doctors are often not on the same page about treatment in this situation and that women are often not fully informed of possibilities, risks, and benefits.
Here is the study:
7th European Breast Cancer
Conference (EBCC-7)
Barcelona, Spain, 24-27 March 2010
Abstract 63: A comparison of physician and patient perceptions of clinically important endpoints in the treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)
Citation: European Journal of Cancer Supplements Volume 8, No.3, March 2010,
page 77 A. Sheik-Yousouf1, S. Gandhi2, S. Dukhovny1, S. Verma2
1University of Toronto, Department of Medicine, Toronto Ontario, Canada
<>2University of Toronto Department of Medical Oncology, Sunnybrook Odette Cancer
Centre, Toronto Ontario, Canada
Background: To examine and compare the clinical trial endpoints physicians and patients consider to be important in MBC treatment decision making, amongst a cohort of Canadian oncologists and patients.
Methods: 28 breast oncologists responded to a secure, anonymous, and self-administered online survey. 52 Patients with MBC were also surveyed through a self-administered paper survey. Results were assessed using descriptive statistics.
Physician results: In the first line MBC setting, 52% believed overall survival (OS) was the most important endpoint considered in choosing a specific therapy, and 48% believed progression-free survival (PFS) was the most important. 48% thought that a minimum meaningful incremental improvement in OS from a first line MBC therapy was 4-6 months, and 44% believed 2-4 months was meaningful. 60% of oncologists believed that their patients also consider improvement in OS to be the most important endpoint, and 36% believed that overall QOL is the second most important factor to patients with MBC.
Patient results: The vast majority of patients believed the primary goal of their treatment(s) was to prolong life (88%). 63% also believed slowing tumour growth was a goal of treatment; shrinking tumour burden, and improving quality of life were also considered goals of treatment according to 62% of patients. 50% felt improving symptoms and pain were important therapeutic goals. 54% of patients believed prolonging survival was the most important endpoint in accepting MBC therapy, and 17% thought shrinking tumour size was the most important. In considering a new treatment for MBC compared to standard options, 46% of patients thought more than 12 months was the minimum improvement in overall survival (OS) they would consider as making the treatment worthwhile, 17% thought 10-12 months was acceptable, and another 10% thought only 1-2 months would be a minimal acceptable improvement in OS.
Conclusions and Discussion: Over half of patients and physicians surveyed consider OS as the most important endpoint in accepting therapy for MBC. However, physicians appear to consider much smaller absolute improvements in OS and PFS (2-6 months) as significant enough to adopt therapies, while almost half of patients required a greaterthan 12 month improvement in OS to consider a treatment worthwhile. This study is limited by small response numbers. Nonetheless, the data highlights disparities between oncologists and patients in the relative ranking of defined therapeutic endpoints, and in MBC treatment expectations. It thus emphasizes the ongoing need for thorough discussion of treatment goals with patients and for clinical trials to bring about meaningful results to both patients and physicians alike.

In celebration of the first General Assembly of the World Toilet Association, the founder, Sim Jae-duck had this commode house built south of Seoul. The home boasts four deluxe toilets -- whatever the hell those are, and its center has a showcase bathroom, where "the toilets have features that range from elegant fittings to the latest in water conservation devices." The Assembly's goal is to provide clean sanitation for the more than 2 billion people who live without toilets. So why they're building a giant toilet house is a mystery to me. If you happen to be in South Korea go check it out, right at the intersection of Shit Street and Urine Avenue. You can't miss it, it's the house shaped like a f'ing toilet.
One more from the ground after the jump.

From WSU's Interior Plantscaping Class
I continue today with ten additional indoor plants as found on the Washington State University Interior Plantscaping 332 course. The world of stationary living things is so vast that you need to go little by little until you get a foothold in that world--then it all begins to open in wonderful ways. Let's get right to it.
1.-2. We begin with two Aglaonema spp., the 'Silver Queen' and the 'Emerald Beauty.' These are of the Araceae family, and thus they aren't in the same "category" as the Dracaenas or the Cordyline, which are, according to this course, in the Dracaenaceae. It is a long-lived easy-to-grow indoor plant which can't stand much cold but can thrive in little light. Called the "Chinese Evergreen," because of its place of origin and its constant color, it is considered good luck in many parts of the Eastern world to own and grow one. The 'Silver Queen' has dark green, lance-shaped leaves (lanceolate) with variegated silver on the multiple leaves. One web site says "will grow for anybody." My kind of plant! As you see, the 'Emerald Queen' looks similar to the 'Silver Queen' except that the former has much deeper green leaves, and the silver doesn't seem to be quite so prevalent.
3. The Aechmea fasciata looks like a very busy Aglaonema or even Dracaena, but the key to identifying it is the tufted reddish flower that emerges from the forest of green leaves. This Bromeliaceae is described in this way on the A & M web site: "Rosette of leathery leaves covered with greyish waxy scales; flowers are a head of bract which are showy for weeks." This would get us into the Bromeliads, a complex and showy family of plants. It will have to be one of the 100 families that I decide to memorize. Since I "only" plan to "memorize" 1000 genuses at first, I don't know which of the Bromeliads will "make it" on my list.
4. I first saw a Kalanchoe in a local supermarket. I didn't know at the time that the blossfeldiana species is so recommended as an indoor plant . It, like the jade plant (Crassula argentea) hails from the Crassulaceae, the "thick" growers. The leaves, as can be seen in this picture, are glossy green and slightly dentate, which means toothed or notched. As you see here, the tightly-packed pink flowers are in clusters of about 12 above the glossy leaves. Even though the diseases of leaves are painful to see, I like this page because it introduces so much more knowledge of the world...of destruction.
5. The Boston fern, Nephrolepis exaltata, is next. Its meaning is "kidney scale raised" or "elevated." These ferns require lots of light and warm temperatures, which means that it won't really go very well in the fern garden I am planning (under two understory trees between my house and the neighboring house). If you look at it for a while, you see its resemblance to a sword fern, but the latter is from the Dryopteridaceae family, while the Boston fern comes from, get this, either the Davilliaceae or Oleandraceae or its own family, the Nephrolepidaceae, but Wikipedia decides for the Lomariopsiadaceae. Do you think this fern might have an identity problem? Or maybe the scientists do who try to classify it... Many have treasured this hanging fern since the Victorian era, because of its "long and elegant" fronds. I simply have to study ferns more to be able to say the same.
6.-7. Let's move to the Dieffenbachias, both the amoena and maculata 'Camille.' These are known as Dumb cane and Giant dumb cane. Sort of like bozo and Giant bozo, I suppose, until you realize that this plant, from the Araceae family, is so toxic that ingestion of its liquid or stalk will paralyze the mouth and vocal cords, thus making the person "dumb." It does so because of the prevalence of crystals of calcium oxalate. Thus, it isn't the plant to have around if kids, cats or other things that gnaw on plants live there. The maculata means "spotted," and the 'Camille,' as you see, lives up to that billing. Actually, the picture I gave looks like much more than spotting. The amoena is known as "Giant," and you can see the leaf difference here. The amoena has a very pronounced mid-rib; usually the color was cream or yellow, but this one is green... The name commemorates a German physician, whose biography is briefly given here. If there is one thing plants should do--it is to drive us to history.
8. The Vriesea splendens has earned its name. The tall shoot emerging from a symmetrical pattern of firm and maculated leaves means that it is going to be from the Bromeliad family. It is known as the "flaming sword;" maybe Adam & Eve saw a Vriesea instead of angel brandishing a flaming sword as they were expelled from the Garden of Eden...This page not only shows the splendens but a few of the other species. I think the guttata is quite amazing. When you look at these pictures, you simply have to wonder at the craftsmanship stunning behind them..
9. Let's move from the exciting plant to a common, sort of pedestrian one, the Swedish Ivy, Plectranthus australis. Here is a close-up picture. Kind of reminds of Creeping Charlie except that these leaves look a bit more glossy. It is in the Lamiaceae family and, indeed, is sometimes called "creeping charlie," though the official name of that creeper is Glechoma hederacea. Indeed, at the nursery yesterday they encouraged me to buy some of the latter, but I am not really sold on it. Seems like there are lots of other more attractive "creepers" out there.
10. Let's close this essay with a reference to one of the more distinctive trees I have seen, the Pencil Tree, Euphorbia tirucalli. You can imagine it on a moon or outer space landscape, can't you? As this picture shows, however, the network of "pencil" branches can be much thicker. Just as the Lysimachia in the name of the Creeping Jenny takes us back to the classical world to understand Lysimachus and what he did, so the Euphorbia here is named after Euphorbus, the physician of Juba II of Mauretania. Can't wait to do some essays on how classically-named plants got their names. But I think, because way leads to way, that sooner or later I would have to pick up Pliny's Natural History and study Aristotle and Theophrastus, and there you have it...another task to do..

A brother is a male sibling.
Liza has one brother and one sister.
Can I say?
Liza has two brothers or the word brothers can only be related to males.
Should I say Liz has two siblings?
A brother is a male sibling.
That's mean saying brothers is wrong when I am talking about one sister and one brother.
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

You appear to have no single word in Italian for 'brothers and sisters', Arara.

Gilnetter's choices cover the ground: 'Either Liz has two siblings, or, Liz has a brother and a sister.' Bear in mind, though, that if you use the first option you'll run the risk of being mistaken for an anthropology text-book. Colloquial British English just doesn't have a sexless option.
PS Similarly 'uncles and aunts'.
After seeing a few threads that mention siblings, I've come to the conclusion that the word is simply more common in the US. I find it very normal to mention siblings and I know I've others use the word in very casual settings. You'll even hear "sibs" as shorthand.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
It's not that common in BrE.

In doing so, they find themselves squaring off against an old, nearly forgotten barrier: the 1977 Hyde amendment."
Read More...Carol Moseley Braun's opinion for the Chicago Tribune addressing why the anti-abortion funding provision of the House's health care bill betrays women's trust: "As written, the bill so eviscerates Roe vs. Wade as to practically eliminate a woman's right to reproductive health choice. To be sure, it does not make this most personal of decisions a crime, as was the case in most states pre-Roe, but it does take away the ability to pay for it, even for women who have private insurance."

74201 : Simple Page Options Module for Joomla! modules/mod_spo/email_sender.php spo_site_lang Parameter Traversal Local File Inclusion Printer | http://osvdb.org/74201 | Email This | Edit Vulnerability
Simple Page Options Module for Joomla! contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code. The issue is due to the modules/mod_spo/email_sender.php script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied to the 'spo_site_lang' parameter. This may allow an attacker to include a file from the targeted host that contains arbitrary commands or code that will be executed by the vulnerable script. Such attacks are limited due to the script only calling files already on the target host. In addition, this flaw can potentially be used to disclose the contents of any file on the system accessible by the web server.
OSVDB is not aware of a solution for this vulnerability.

1. I stacked Testopro with mine. Others will say use it in PCT instead. I lost 4lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of LBM stacking the 2.
2. Truth is both work, 6 or 8 caps. Whats your body weight? I did 6, next time will be 8.
3. Took mine with meals only, not prework like you would a PH/DS. Maybe something to try to experiment with.
4. What/who makes Androhard? I can check ingred profile.
5. PCt with Form and T911 will be a great PCT.

My teenaged daughter has recently started a webcomic. Could you give her one piece of advice that has helped you and one piece of advice that absolutely has not? Please indicate which is which. Thanks!
Good advice: Make your comics and put them online, then make more then keep doing that without stopping for at least 2 or 3 years before you expect ANYTHING in terms of recognition or readership.
This accomplishes several things. 1) It keeps you from viewing your work as precious. Don't obsess over one piece, draw and redraw, correct and perfect it all while never posting it. You get better by making MORE comics. Not by making the same comic over and over. 2) It gets you accustomed to the cycle of creativity. Have an idea, refine it, make it, put it up, repeat. 3) It gets you accustomed to taking and responding to feedback and criticism. The more work you post the more readers you'll get and the more opinions you will start to receive directly or indirectly about your work.
More good advice: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be kind. Be kind online, be kind in person, be kind to your readers, be kind to your fellow artists, be kind to the world. This is important above all else because 1)Being an online persona means YOU are the product you are selling. If your product is a total dickbag, the only people who buy it will be total dickbag enthusiasts. 10 years down the road and you realize all of your readers are assholes and you've hand picked them because of how you acted. 2) Your peers talk about you when you aren't around. They decide who to work with on collaborations, who to bring in on new opportunities and who share hotels/booths/wonderful experiences with at conventions. Word will get around SO VERY FAST if you are not a nice person and you will start to wonder why fun projects keep passing you by. 3) Can anyone honestly come up with a reason to NOT always be kind? When looking for a default behavior, you can't do much better than this.
Even More good advice (lightning round): Don't worry about merch. Worry about making good comics. Dont worry about getting more readers. Worry about making good comics. Don't EVER compare your perceived success to that of your peers. You don't know their situation, or how they came about what you think they have that you might want for yourself. Just worry about making good comics. Never envy your peers money, readers or success (sounds a lot like the last one right? That's because it's super important.) Instead, envy how hard they've worked and try to emulate that. Also, just worry about making good comics. Don't try to find success by doing exactly what another artists has done. We all have different paths to success and you'll do better finding your own rather than copying someone else (in art as well as in business). Also just worry about making good comics.
The worst piece of advice I ever got: Get an invitation to the cool kids table, i.e. Get in with this certain clique and you'll be instantly welcomed into the secret world of webcomic success. This secret club, community, group, whatever you want to call it DOES NOT EXIST. I spent too many years waiting for artists I admired to take notice of me that I eventually started to obsess over making them like me. Spoilers, it never happened and I had nothing to show for all that worry and grief. I gave absolute strangers power over my mental well being that they didn't even want and certainly didn't deserve. Don't worry about making "powerful" friends. You will make more friends in this industry by BEING a good friend first. Offer help, offer support, share your audience with artists whose work you admire. Be honest, be genuine and be kind. Repeat that 1000X in your head every day until it's the only thing you even understand anymore.
By the way, the person who gave me that terrible advice was me.
