Find out how I cracked the case of that "Get a real job" receipt hoax!
Read it HERE
Maybe it's just me but customer service peeps are being a hell of a lot nicer these days. AT&T ladies are joking around, being sweet and helpful; checkers at Ghetto Ralphs and Albertsons are all smiley and positive as if they've been drinking the Trader Joe's Kool-Aid or something. Maybe it's because they're all just so damn happy to have a job. But whatever the reason - it's a thing.
New post is out! We give those whiny litigious Hollywood interns a talking to, and look at what it's really like to be a lowly intern in good old Hollywood. Take a peek!

We're not quite sure why developer WayForward decided to make a sequel to a 20-year-old NES game that most people have forgotten about. The original A Boy And His Blob didn't exactly set the gaming world on fire back in 1989 and as a result we're not entirely convinced how successful the name will be in attracting extra sales for this re-imagining. So it's fortunate that it doesn't have to rely on the series' heritage, because it's actually an impressive game in its own right.
The plot is simple stuff. Boy meets blob, boy befriends blob, boy feeds blob jellybeans, blob turns into different objects, boy decides to help blob return to its home planet and usurp its evil emperor. You know, that sort of thing. A Boy And His Blob isn't really about the plot, though. It's more about the classic gameplay and the relationship between the two lead characters. Playing as the boy, you'll quickly begin to feel a sense of companionship with the blob and the whole thing does eventually become more than a little heart warming, due in part to the famed 'hug' button (Up on the D-Pad) which serves no purpose whatsoever other than to make the player go "awwww".
Boy, This Looks Good
We'd be the first to tell you that graphics don't make or break a game, but we'd also be lying through our teeth if we said that A Boy And His Blob's visuals didn't contribute greatly to the game's overall atmosphere and mood. The hand-drawn 2D sprites and backgrounds are nothing short of breathtaking at times, especially when lighting effects come into play (the short night section with the glowbugs at the start of the game is incredibly atmospheric). Both boy and blob are expertly animated throughout.
What the game offers in sights, it certainly doesn't skimp in sounds. The musical score is at times epic and subtle in equal measure, and the in-game effects - which mostly consist of the boy shouting at the blob to either come follow him or wait somewhere - are varied enough to not become annoying too quickly. This combination of beautiful 2D hand-drawn graphics and a lovely orchestral soundtrack make for one of the most atmospheric games available on the Wii.
Beware The Blob
It's slightly unfortunate then that despite the unblemished presentation there are a few slight cracks in the actual gameplay. Most notable of these imperfections is the blob's occasional tendency to not go where you ask it to. If you chuck a jellybean down onto a lower platform, you'd hope it would jump down and eat it.
Sometimes it'll be more than happy to hop down and scoff away, whereas other times it'll just stand next to you, bemused. It's a frustrating glitch and one that isn't exactly reassuring when trying to plan out a successful route through a level. Also on the irritant list is the need to constantly ensure that the blob is still with you. Any time you reach a high platform (usually by turning the blob into a trampoline and jumping up), it's likely that the blob won't be able to jump up and join you.
This means you have to chuck a bean down to turn it into a balloon so it can float up. While this clearly adds to the realism of the game (if you want to call a blob eating a jellybean and turning into a balloon realism), it becomes irritating very quickly and slows down your progress significantly.
It gets even more frustrating if, after jumping to the high platform, you walk on further and then realise you've forgotten to bring blob with you. Now you're too far ahead to turn back and throw the balloon bean, leaving you with no option but to kill your poor blobless lad and restart the level. Grrrr. Still, such frustration is the nature of many puzzle games and while A Boy And His Blob may appear at face value to be a straightforward platformer, it's a puzzler at heart. Every single move has to be thought out, tried, rethought, retried and so on until you figure out how to proceed. Admittedly, as frustrating as the blob is to command, this does add to the feeling of accomplishment whenever a particularly tricky section is successfully navigated. The game gets exceptionally difficult fairly quickly however, so anyone who gets easily frustrated may be wise to stay away. We're generally laid back types but the air at ONM Towers turned blue on many an occasion over the course of this review.
A Boy And His Blob is without doubt one of the most artistically accomplished games on the Wii. A few frustrations prevent us from recommending it wholeheartedly but if you're willing to see past its irritating little quirks you'll still be in for a treat.

Michael Wood, owner of High Grounds Coffee Roasters in Highlandtown, presses the single shot button on his 2-week-old La Marzocco Linea espresso maker—what he calls the "Ferrari of espresso makers"—and the sleek chrome machine whirs to life.
The water, already heated to a toasty 205 degrees, is forced through the ground beans and after 20 seconds, Wood catches it in a cup beneath a spout. He tilts the cup, revealing a mocha-colored foam. "What we have here floating on the top is called crema and the various colorizations are called tiger stripes," he says. "That's where all the fats are, the sugar. When I tilt the cup you can't even see coffee. That's crema so thick you could surf on it!"
Across town in Roland Park, Lindsay DiFabbio, the coffee auteur for Johnny's in Roland Park, is equally jazzed about her new toy, a K-10 Fresh espresso grinder by a Spanish company called Compak. The $2,000 gizmo lets DiFabbio control grinding time for a single or double shot to within a tenth of a second. "As far as I know, it's the only one in the city, and it's really cool."
In case you haven't noticed, Charm City is riding a caffeine-spiked wave of sorts. With the recent openings of specialty coffee shops like Johnny's, Lamill, Artifact and Spro and continued success of small-batch roasters such as High Grounds, Spoons and Zeke's, Baltimore suddenly has a legitimate coffee scene. DiFabbio goes one step further: "Baltimore," she says, "is about to become a huge coffee town."
Not bad for a place that had only one free-standing Starbucks as late as 2004, and whose mayor at the time, Martin O'Malley, practically begged the company to open up more outlets because "real cities" had lots of Starbucks.
Now baristas are bragging about their Italian-sourced espresso machines, holding coffee cuppings or tastings and educating coffee drinkers about using alternative brewing methods like a Chemex, Abid Clever or a vac pot.
"It's all part of the third wave," says Jay Caragay, the owner of Spro in Hampden, referring to a national coffee movement that began about 10 years ago.
Coffee's first wave, according to Caragay, was characterized by "coffee in a can," supermarket brands like Folgers and Maxwell House. The second wave took place in the '80s and '90s as national chains like Peet's and Starbucks introduced Americans to lattes and double frappuccinos. Now, like the ubiquitous farm-to-table movement in restaurants, progressive, independent coffee houses are putting a greater emphasis on quality, preparation and sourcing beans with the farmer's welfare in mind.
Credit Caragay, 43, with helping propagate the movement in Charm City. Like the French Laundry's famed chef Thomas Keller and his progeny of cooks who have gone on to open their own restaurants, Caragay has been training the third wave of Baltimore's coffee baristas as they set out on their own. He counts Johnny's DiFabbio, Lamill's head barista Becka Dowding and Bonnie Hohman, owner of BB's Café in the Towson Public Library, as former employees.
"Jay has the ability to impress the art of the craft and stay true to what quality coffee is all about," says Hohman, who worked for Caragay when Spro was located in the Towson library. "He really is the go-to guy around town and has passed on his knowledge to us baristas. He's internationally known and has helped create the coffee culture as we know it—here and around the world."
"He's a genius," says High Grounds' Wood. "He's the godfather of third wave in Baltimore. Want to know what the fourth wave will bring? Ask Jay."
CARAGAY, WHO GREW UP IN BALTIMORE, wasn't always a coffee virtuoso. Originally, it was sno-cones.
In 2002, Caragay was running Jay's Shave Ice in Timonium, when he decided to start selling coffee to complement his Hawaiian ices during cooler months. He found a grower he liked in Kona, Hawaii, and began importing beans—what third wavers now call "direct trade," or dealing with the coffee grower without going through a middleman or coffee broker. "Without knowing anything, we were direct trading right away for no other reason than we didn't know any better," he says.
Over the next 10 years, Caragay increased his coffee I.Q., learning the industry from John Sanders, co-founder of Hines Public Market Coffee, the legendary Pacific Northwest roaster and coffee shop owner. In 2006, he decided to go into coffee full time, opening Spro at the Towson Library, and operating it at that location for five years before moving to The Avenue and selling the Towson location to Hohman.
These days, his speaking services are much in demand at Specialty Coffee Association events and he serves as a judge at the annual World Barista Championships, where competitors whip up the prettiest—and tastiest—cappuccinos and espressos for bragging rights and trophies. In 2011, as a competitor, he was crowned the National AeroPress Champion at the Specialty Coffee Association convention in Portland, Ore. (AeroPress is a method of brewing coffee that involves steeping grounds in a cylindrical device before plunging hot water through a small disc-shaped filter.)
When it comes to coffee, Caragay is like a jazz artist. He enjoys improvising and experimenting, hates pretension and talks as passionately about coffee beans as any vintner does about grapes. At Spro, which was named by Travel & Leisure in 2011 as one of "America's Coolest Coffeehouses," Caragay typically offers a half-dozen varieties of unusual coffees on a menu that changes weekly. Customers can choose from one of seven ways to have their cup of coffee brewed, from using a French press to a vac pot. "I kind of look at it like cooking," he says. "Chicken is chicken essentially, but you can sauté it, bake it, roast it, braise it, smoke it—and it's still chicken, but the experience of that chicken is very different. And I think that's true of the methods we have here."
Allowing customers the choice of a rotating menu of brews is a hallmark of third wave coffee. Over in Hamilton, Zeke's roasts between 40 and 60 types of beans, and owner Thomas Rhodes is constantly experimenting with blends—and giving them colorful Baltimore-centric names, like Tell Tale Dark, Mobtown Espresso or Montebello Reserve.
At High Grounds, Wood offers customers more than 15 varieties of coffees he roasts daily in a back room. "Our customers love being able to try something from Brazil one day and Indonesia the next," he says. He's also the only coffee shop in town that regularly carries Ethiopian Ardi coffee, imported by Baltimore-based Keffa Coffee. (See sidebar.)
Caragay acknowledges the Baltimore scene is nowhere near as developed as coffee hot spots like Seattle and San Francisco, but he prefers it to many more established coffee towns. "Baltimore's coffee scene is kind of exciting in that it's very different than most places. You go to some cities that are known coffee places and they're all getting their coffee from the same place. D.C. is like that. I personally feel that gives the town a little bit of a blandness—like you went to a city and all the bars just served Bud. Baltimore is very progressive in its coffee scene."
He cites restaurants like Woodberry Kitchen as a national leader when it comes to restaurant coffee programs. "What they do is just as good as anything in New York City—and they've been doing it since 2007."
Caragay also says the Baltimore scene isn't as barista-focused as in some other cities. In other markets, like Seattle and San Francisco, baristas are like celebrity chefs, with their own legions of followers.
In D.C., baristas gather on the third Thursday of every month for Thursday Night Throwdowns, where coffee geeks from around town pack into a cafe after hours and, for a $5 buy-in, battle it out at the espresso machine. Competitors get one minute to pull a shot, steam milk and create the perfect design on the surface of the cup. Judges score based on symmetry and contrast within the design.
Lamill's Dowding attended her first latte art competition in December and says she could see the day when Baltimore baristas duke it out. "I'd really like to see the Baltimore coffee scene expand even more," says Dowding, who (insider tip) says Pitango Gelato in Fells Point makes some of the most underrated espresso in town. "There's not a deep-rooted community among other coffee people yet, but it's neat to be part of a growing trend in a small city."
DiFabbio says she'd like to host coffee house crawls and organize latte art competitions in town, but there aren't enough baristas—yet. "It wouldn't be any sport with only five people," she says with a laugh. "But we'll be able to do it pretty soon. This is a really great town to be a coffee person."
Out of Africa
From where do some of the nation's most popular boutique coffee roasters source their Ethiopian coffee beans? Would you believe Towson?
Keffa Coffee, headquartered on Cromwell Bridge Road, imports a half million pounds of green (unroasted) coffee beans annually from owner Samuel Demisse's native Ethiopia. Keffa then distributes the beans to more than 300 boutique roasters across the country. (The company stores its beans at a warehouse in Dundalk.)
Demisse, 41, who grew up on a coffee farm, began his import business in 2006, and with help from the Towson Global Business Incubator, where his business was based until last month, he has increased sales annually to more than $1.7 million. Every month, he imports shipping containers filled with 40,000 pounds of coffee from family farms throughout Ethiopia—including his family's own. The main reason he chose to locate his business in Baltimore was because of its port. "The longer it takes to ship coffee, the more the quality goes down. It only takes three weeks to ship coffee from Africa to Baltimore," says Demisse, who notes it takes 35 days for the same shipment to reach Norfolk, Va.
Keffa's presence in Baltimore has been a boon to local roasters, such as High Grounds, Annapolis' Ceremony and Spro. "Here's an importer bringing in amazing quality coffee that people across the industry are clamoring for and it's warehoused in Baltimore," says Spro's Jay Caragay. "It's a game-changer for us. There are a lot of great coffees coming in through Seattle and Oakland and now we've got great coffees coming in through Baltimore. That's unheard of. Instead of buying a pallet at a time, we can grab a bag or two. For a small roaster like us, that's huge." —J.S.
Baltimore by the Cup
Third WaversArtifact Coffee
Artifact Coffee feels like a step back into a time that never was. Vaulted ceilings and stone walls suggest a gentleman farmer's barn more than a coffee shop. Mason jars of homemade provisions line up neatly on shelves like lab specimens, and orders are taken and delivered to tables by servers dressed in vintage duds.
Coffee's origin: Artifact mostly serves coffees from Counter Culture, which specializes in sustainable coffee practices including direct trade, shade grown, organic and bird-friendly coffees.
Price, regular cup of Joe: $3.50 for 12-ounce "pour-over" (daily "featured" coffee is $4.50)
Priciest pour: Occasional special or seasonal coffee drinks run $4.50
Programs: Free coffee cuppings every Friday at 10 a.m. 410-235-1881, artifactcoffee.comBB's Café
The bridge that leads from the parking lot to the Towson Public Library might be the most unusual place for a coffee shop, but book lovers—and coffee snobs—know this is the best place to get an espresso north of the Baltimore City line.
Coffee origin: Bonnie Hohman sources most of her roasted organic beans from Hines, the venerable Vancouver-based roaster.
Price, regular cup of Joe: $1.50/8 ounce, $2/ 16 ounce
Priciest pour: $4.25 for a 12-ounce mocha— homemade chocolate syrup, two shots of espresso, steamed milk and "maybe a little latte art, depending on which barista is working" 410-296-0023Johnny's
The latest effort from the Foreman-Wolf Restaurant Group comes in many guises, from casual luncheonette to grotto gourmet, and emphasizes its coffee program, headed by barista Lindsay DiFabbio.
Coffee's origin: Johnny's usually offers two coffees, a house blend and a seasonal "guest coffee." Roasting is done by Ceremony Coffee in Annapolis.
Price, regular cup of Joe: $3.50, brewed in a Chemex
Priciest pour: The Starfleet Captain, a blend of espresso and half-and-half infused with bergamot, lavender and Earl Grey tea, and served in a shot glass sets you back $6—but it's worth it.
Programs: DiFabbio hosts occasional coffee cuppings and informal classes. Call Johnny's for a schedule. 410-773-0777, http://www.johnnysdownstairs.comLamill
The only East Coast location of the Los Angeles-based coffee boutique serves up a full menu of roasts in a sophisticated setting on the first floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. The shop also features tasty baked goods by pastry chef Chris Ford of Wit & Wisdom restaurant.
Coffee's origin: Lamill has a "green buyer," who sources green coffee beans from 50 to 100 rotating farms throughout the world. Many are organically grown. All coffee is roasted at the
company's California plant before being shipped cross-country to Baltimore.
Price, regular cup of Joe: $1.50 to $2 depending on ready made or custom poured hand-drip.
Priciest pour:The 16-ounce café con leche includes a whopping six shots of espresso layered with brown sugar and costs $9.75
Programs: Free "coffee clinics" every Saturday at 9 a.m. 410-576-5800Spro
Like a coffee chemistry lab, Spro offers seven different brewing processes, from the AeroPress to the Chemex to the Abid Clever to cold brew towers. That means coffee geeks (and wannabes) can do their own cupping experiments by trying the same beans brewed different ways.
Coffee's origin: Spro gets beans from all over the world—Ethiopia, Mexico, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea—and buys from five roasteries nationally as well as small-batch roasting at their East Baltimore facility.
Price, regular cup of Joe: $3. Be patient—each cup is hand-crafted and take about four minutes to brew.
Priciest pour: $12 buys you a cup of 2007 vintage Rancho San Francisco coffee produced in Chiapas, Mexico.
Programs: Nothing scheduled, but check sprocoffee.com or call 410-243-1262 for events.
The Roasters
Baltimore Coffee and Tea
Maryland's largest specialty roaster traces its roots back to 1895 and company president Stan Constantine says his family has been importing coffee since 1910. The Timonium-based roasting facility churns out 30,000 pounds of coffee per week, and does a brisk mail-order business, offering 120 different varietals and more than 1,000 kinds of teas. BC&T has retail outlets in Frederick, Annapolis and Timonium. 410-561-1080, http://www.baltcoffee.comHigh Grounds
Owner Michael Wood began roasting coffee in his backyard shed in 2000 and took over High Grounds, across from the Patterson Theater, several years later. He roasts about 1 1⁄2 tons of coffee per month, and supplies various local restaurants, Wegmans and Whole Foods. 410-342-7611, http://www.highgroundscoffee.comSpoons
Co-owners Deborah Cogan and Bernard Kayes started roasting coffee 12 years ago in order to provide the freshest coffees they could for their Federal Hill restaurant. At one time, they would roast as many as 20 different varieties, but now concentrate on a half dozen or so organically grown beans, available only in-house. 410-539-8395, http://www.spoonsbaltimore.com
Owner Thomas Rhodes learned his trade while roasting for the now-defunct Key Coffee and built Zeke's popularity via Baltimore farmers markets. Now you can find his coffees throughout the
Baltimore environs, including the company's retail outlet/coffee shop along Harford Road. Rhodes says he just wanted to "make really good coffee and sell it at a reasonable price"—something the "everyman" could drink. "I mean, we still sell it in a brown paper bag," he says. 4607 Harford Rd., 410- 254-0122, http://www.zekescoffee.com

Doritos Roulette Gives You One Super Spicy Chip Per Handful
Doritos Roulette is a new Doritos variety that puts 25 percent extremely spicy chips in a bag of normal nacho-flavored Doritos
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Doritos Roulette is the newest chip variety/sadistic party game that takes a bag of approximately completely harmless orange dust-coated chips and replaces 25 percent of them with dangerously-hot and spicy flavored Doritos. The crazy part? The spicy ones look exactly like the regular ones. We could think of all sorts of mean tricks you could play on your friends. Leave a bowl of Roulette Doritos out during a get-together and laugh manically as approximately one in four of your friends start grabbing the nearest gallon of milk or garden hose, for example. Unfortunately the devil's Doritos are only available in Canada right now, but we hope they will be making their way to the States soon.
Apparently the super-spicy Doritos are no joke, because Canadians have been posting photos of themselves in various states of distress on Instagram and Twiter with the hashtag #burnselfies. (Best selfie could win some serious cash from PepsiCo). There's also been a trend of YouTube videos where brave snackers take on the "Doritos Roulette Challenge" where competitors eat as many Doritos Roulette chips as they can in one sitting, similar to the popular cinnamon challenge fad a few years ago.
Laugh, or sympathize with these poor unfortunate souls.
Last day to hope the Burn is Lucky! Mmm Happy Canada Day Everyone! #BurnSelfie pic.twitter.com/xILgNpXJb1

How to Embroider Monograms
Monograms are motifs that have two or more letters combined together to represent a recognisable name of a person or an organization. Generally, monograms are used in embroidery to mark the significance or to credit the person who has embroidered a particular fabric.
1Measure or mark the embroidering area. Once you have decided on the type of fabric and the place where you will embroider the monogram, measure or mark the area in which you are going to place the monogram.Ad
2Make a simple sketch of the monogram you want to embroider. If you want to create a monogram of your own, sketch out the monogram such that they fit to the embroider area on your fabric. You can also find various monograms on web pages or in embroidery design books. Select a monogram of your choice and replicate the monogram to fit the size of the embroider area on your fabric.
3Transfer the monogram onto the fabric. Place the paper on which you have sketched your monogram your fabric. Place one hand on the paper such that the paper does not move off the correct position. Lift the other end of the paper and place a carbon paper between the fabric and the paper containing your motif. Use a pencil to trace the motif. Once the tracing is done, remove the carbon paper and the motif paper off the fabric. Your monogram is now transferred on to your fabric.
4Start embroidering. Use a wooden or a plastic frame to fix some part of the embroidery area firm enough. Start embroidering with colored threads that go well with the color of your fabric.Ad
We could really use your help!
health tricks?
- If you want to embroider monograms only on the outline of each letter, you can use chain stitch or stem stitch to do the same.
- Embroider monograms with the first letters of your first and last name on hand kerchiefs, plain shirts. You can gift them to your loved ones.
- You can also use letters of the person's first and last name to whom you are gifting to, on your gifts.
- Make sure the carbon paper is as big as the paper containing the motif so that it covers the entire motif to be transferred on to the fabric.
- You can choose to fill in the monograms completely using Satin stitch or Long & Short stitch.
- When your tracing is done, be careful while removing the carbon paper such that they do not leave any extra marks on the fabric.

Finally! In a move which many have predicted will change the fortunes of the ever-lambasted Tablet PC platform, it appears that Dell are at long last bringing out a pen-computing laptop of their own. Eagle-eyed Bob from MobileRead spotted the Latitude-based convertible in a video on the company's own Direct2Dell blog, and Kevin Tofel is already slinging in his twopenny-worth about potential specs.
A lot of people have been waiting for Dell to enter the Tablet PC market, on the assumption that it will help bring prices down and encourage the pen-technology into offices, classrooms and university lecture halls. Up until now, however, they've completely denied any intention of sticking a hinge and digitiser into any of their notebooks.
A GottaBeMobile reader, Kevin Bals, was talking to a Dell rep at a school conference who spilt the beans on the multi-national's plans come Vista-time...
"I was at a large school convention on Thursday and ran into the Dell Reps for my area. I was telling them about how we use the Toshiba Tablets and wireless Epson Projectors in our classrooms. I asked them if Dell was coming out with a Tablet anytime soon and they said to look for a late spring release of a Dell Tablet. They said Michael Dell was very much against the tablet. Over time though he realized the tablet was a gateway into the school for other vendors. For example since the school had to go elsewhere for the tablets they ended up buying printers, desktops or projectors from the other vendor as well.
They also said that Dell usually waits for a particular product to become mainstream and then they look to develop a product and own the market. Dell feels that since Vista will have the tablet features built right into the OS that the corporate world will embrace the tablet on a large scale. The reps said this will be especially true once service pack 1 is out for Vista. They plan on releasing their tablet to coincide with the release of service pack 1 for Vista."
This would be incredible news and a real boost to a technology that, even years down the line from its inception, still gets regular criticism from reviewers.
A Dell Tablet PC coming this spring? [GottaBeMobile]
Android tablets shouldn't cost much, and they don't have to. Dell kept this in mind when designing and building their Venue 8 tablet. A decidedly mid-range tablet, the Venue 8 may still pack a punch. How brutal could that gut-shot be? We find out in our review.
Dell is taking on the Chromecast, but it's giving the concept a more business-minded yet limited twist of its own. While the Dell Cast does plug into TVs and monitors via HDMI, the purpose isn't just to "cast" multimedia to a bigger screen but to turn your Android tablet into a desktop, complete with keyboard and mouse.
Dell has introduced quite a few products this week, not the least of which is a slew of new Latitude business laptops, with several models being set to arrive spanning a roster of different features and specs. Included among them is the new Latitude 14 Rugged, a durable laptop expanding the company's rugged portfolio.
In addition to updated Venue 7 and 8 tablets, Dell has rolled out the red carpet for a couple new Inspiration convertibles, both of them being 2-in-1 offerings able to fold into tablets. Unlike the Venue slates, the new Inspiron devices will be available starting later this month.
There's little doubt now that Microsoft will eventually release a smaller version of its Surface tablet. Reports this week suggest that the supposedly delayed Microsoft Surface Mini will make its first debut at the next Surface event, one taking place on the 20th of May in New York City. This release may very well be so important that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will be officiating.
This week the folks at Dell responsible for letting the world know about their ultra-tough notebook and tablet lineup have released the Rugged Extreme collection. First on the books is the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme - standard save it's hardcore attitude. Then there's the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme convertible notebook, one that can effectively change position for whatever job you've got.

No system has any such protection unless you mandate digital signature based protections; if a name is published, then anyone else can decide they're going to use the same name for something else. > So a > date has to be involved, and IMHO should be involved in *every* namespace > name, whether URL or URN, where the DNS is being relied on at all. That's moving towards a 'big ugly number' scheme - where lots of numeric data are pushed together to ensure uniqueness. UUIDs are the best example of these in commmon use; they would make good URNs in many ways, but are a bastard to remember :-) ABS -- A city is like a large, complex, rabbit - ARP

It has wit, originality, color, warmth and formal intelligence. It tempers its escapist dash with a touch of darkness, and for all of its playfulness, never departs from a fundamental seriousness.... Something Wild is superbly unpredictable. [7 Nov 1986]
One of the year's most fascinating flicks.... Brilliant performances by Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith and a newcomer named Ray Liotta give sparkle, and shadows, to Something Wild. [7 Nov 1986]
Demme finds haunting overtones in the somewhat old-hat situations of E. Max Frye's first screenplay. Something Wild also has three first-class performances: by Daniels, who seems to have resources that his earlier roles never touched; by electrifying newcomer Ray Liotta, and by Griffith as the maddening, mysterious Lulu. [6 Nov 1986]
Something Wild is quite a movie. Demme is a master of finding the bizarre in the ordinary.
With a screenplay from first-time screenwriter E. Max Frye and superior performances from his principal cast, Demme has created a unique and likable film.
Demme not only gives the script's nuttiness its due, he adds to it by filling the frame in virtually every scene with silliness - a motorcycle- riding dog, a harpsichordist, a man wearing a T-shirt that reads, "I don't love you since you ate my dog." [7 Nov 1986]
Besides engineering top-notch performances from his actors, Mr. Demme also put together a soundtrack that enhances the movie's marvelous, quirky rhythms. He keeps you hooked into this unpredictable, pleasurable picture right through the closing credits. [6 Nov 1986]
But for the first time in a long while, this is a movie that lets Demme be Demme, and the result is a film that's more than enjoyable. It's a blast.
Jonathan Demme's picaresque joyride across the American landscape is still arguably the best thing he's ever done.
Conceptually and stylistically compelling under Jonathan Demme's sometimes striking direction.
After an hour of biting charm, Something Wild turns into something else. In a twist that turns the movie into a silly story of violence, Demme surrenders his style to a stupid plot. [7 Nov 1986]

Jun 29, 2014Something Wild is a hilarious and offbeat comedy. Melanie Griffith, Ray Liotta and Jeff Daniels give exceptional acting. Lulu meets Charlie a banker who is single. Charlie no longer has a wife, he assumes Lulu is single but she has a husband who is an ex-con. Once her husband ray comes into the picture that's when Charlie faces the issue of how to escape with Lulu. Ray is dangerous and he is the only thing standing in the way of their future. Overall a classic comedy-drama that needs to be seen and appreciated for what it is.… Full Review »

Raikkonen can put victory hopes on ice
Kimi Raikkonen's return to Formula One after a two-year hiatus has enthused media, fans and rivals alike. But the question remains — does the Iceman's comeback mean a cooling of double world champion Sebastian Vettel's hopes of being red-hot favourite again next year?
Almost certainly not. Raikkonen's return is certainly a good thing for Formula One. For the first time ever, the sport will see six world champions line up on the starting grid.
Known for his often monosyllabic approach to the media and love of a good party away from the racetrack, the return of the steely-eyed Finn will add another welcome storyline.
But don't expect him to win a second world title.
For one, Raikkonen makes his return with what will be called the Lotus team next year. While a solid midfield team of late in their Renault guise, they haven't won a race since 2008 when Fernando Alonso was driving for them.
