Was a bit hesitant to watch it as I thought it would be a bit heavy. But it's well paced and moves along nicely with some stunning visuals.The story was fantastic Hugo Weaving as V was brilliant, Stephen Fry was very Good, and Natalie Portman was adequate.Dialogues were fantastic, just really enjoyed it from start to finish.Probably won't be everyone's thing though

TEN Technology readies Bluetooth naviPlay remote
"Impulsesoft, the leading Bluetooth(R) Audio solution provider, today announced that TEN Technology has licensed its Bluetooth stereo technology. TEN Technology, the company that introduced the naviPod(TM) wireless remote control for Apple's iPod, the leading digital music player in the world, demonstrated the TEN naviPlay(TM), the first Bluetooth stereo adapter and remote control designed specifically for the iPod, on January 6, 2004 at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, CA.
'Superior audio quality and long battery life are critical for naviPlay to meet the high expectations of iPod owners. Impulsesoft's iWISH and iWISA deliver 44.1KHz and 48KHz stereo audio with a long battery life,' said John Lin, CEO of TEN Technology."
Editor's note: Here are photos of the naviPlay prototype as seen at Macworld SF.

Umm exactly what is the point of this thing? It would make sense if it were a tiny little thing that looked like the current remote without a wire.
This basically is an ipod, except that you need to have an iPod already to make it work!
Posted by s_n_m on January 20, 2004 at 11:04 AM (CST)
No, the remote is noticably smaller than the ipod. One of the best aspects, however, is that your ipod has moving parts (the HD/head) while the remote doesn't: as such, if your ipod is in your bag at the gym, while you're going cardio or something, you're not risking your ipod as much.
Moreover, the weight seems to be far less.
Posted by Druid on January 20, 2004 at 11:09 AM (CST)
You can also hang the small receiver around your neck, attach headphones to it and roam around the room while your iPod sits on a desk somewhere. it's not clear what the maximum range will be until the product ships.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 20, 2004 at 11:25 AM (CST)
I need one! someone email me please with pricing and info, or if someone from Ten is reading, can I beta test and write a review? I have written rave reviews in the paintball world :) this is perfect for my car.

"it's not clear what the maximum range will be until the product ships."
if its bluetooth, it'll be long enough ^_-
The only problem is price. The Navipod itself is already soo expensive a basic infrared remote. Imagine something with bluetooth, 8 hour li-ion battery, and lcd screen.
if it was around the same price as the navipod, i'd order it straight away!
Posted by Redux on January 20, 2004 at 12:49 PM (CST)
It did say that Impulsesoft was a short range wirless solutions, so i wouldnt be expecting to leave your ipod in your car while your in the gym… but maybe
it would likely work better if you wanted to keep your ipod in your locker and transmitted from there…

Posted by Jon on January 20, 2004 at 6:26 PM (CST)
All I've wanted since I got my first and second iPod is the ability to utilize wireless headphones. There is nothing worse than turning your head slighty and yanking out an earphone, or catching a wire on a doorknob or something. If this product is in any way able to make this desire a reality, I'd order two!

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Ron Jaworski: Dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL right now
The Arizona Cardinals had a disastrous time in the 2012 season trying to find stability at the quarterback position. The team acquired Carson Palmer from the Oakland Raiders in the offseason in hopes of remedying that situation, but the offense hasn't shown great strides of improvement with Palmer under center so far.
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski said Thursday while on Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo show that what's happening to the Cardinals at quarterback is part of a league-wide phenomenon.
"It's pretty scary, guys," Jaworski said pejoratively of some of the quarterbacks that NFL teams have on their roster.
He pointed to Atlanta's Dominique Davis, Pittsburgh's Bruce Gradkowski, Denver's Brock Osweiler and Cincinnati's Josh Johnson as examples of how teams are struggling to find serviceable backups.
"These are guys that have had literally no NFL experience, and they're one snap away from having to carry a team's fortunes," the analyst said.
He said he's not even sure if the league boasts 32 "competent" starting quarterbacks -- an average of one per team -- at this time. He also said a rash of injuries has further diluted the overall quality of the position.
"And I think the league is concerned," said Jaworski, who played quarterback for 14 years for the Rams, Eagles, Dolphins and Chiefs. "There have been an inordinate number of injuries, by my count."
There are such slim pickings at the position that St. Louis, which lost starting QB Sam Bradford to a torn ACL last Sunday, reportedly contacted Brett Favre to see if he had any interest in joining the team. Favre, who last played in 2010, turned down the offer.
Despite the perceived lack of talent at quarterback, Jaworski said things are looking up for the league in the near future.
"I actually think the quality coming out of college is much better than it was a few years ago," he said. "I think there's better coaching right now. There are more passing (offenses) that have NFL concepts.
"The feeder system is good."

Anyone who wants to make the journey is welcome for lunch. Wouldn't that be great.
Joan, do an internet search and see if the fencing would suit you. I had mine built, but I designed it. Internet searches would give you ideas. To be honest, I designed mine on my own, based on what I had seen in zoos. You can have whatever type fence you like, but the top must tilt in, so that a climbing cat cannot get over it. Another idea is to have the fence of your choice, but to line the perimeter with the "invisible fence". The cats wear a color which gives a shock if they get close to the wire. I like the tilted in top the best, but as I said, it can be bought or made to fit any fence.
Sounds like you've created your own Eden. Wonderful!
We are doing a Northwest variation on that theme but barely started. Two weeks ago we tilled up some big sections of lawn and seeded over it with wildflower seeds. Threw in some not-so-wild flowers in the mix, like various poppy cultivars and snapdragons. No idea if they will actually grow.
Some of the intent with wildflowers is attract beneficial insects, and some is to feed honeybees. Countdown to installing hive.... 1st or 2nd week of April the bees arrive. Everything is ready except I might not be. Cross that bridge when we come to it.
We can hear frogs at night. There are lots of birds. Also plated for hummingbirds that visit frequently in the Summer.
Invasive species here: English Ivy and Himalayan blackberries. We pulled out all of the ivy but the blackberries are so prolific, removing them is like removing thorny kudzu. Plus, the berries are delicious and the flowers... more nectar for honey. So I'm not being aggressive pulling it out.
I have been on the property for six yrs & it is an acre and 1/2. The house was built in 85, 2 & 2, with a stone fireplace. The only plants in existence when I moved there was the large oaks and the woods in the background. The field was a swamp of Brazilian Peppers (invasive species). I had it leveled out and the original pond re-dug. I have all sorts of wildlife including otters. I have seen raccoons, possums, armadillos, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, hawks, skunks, all sorts of wading and song birds, hummingbirds, various owls, cottontail and swamp rabbits, flying squirrels, bats, native mice, shrews, moles, corn snakes, black rat snakes, water snakes, scarlet snakes, leopard frogs, American, Fowler, & spade foot toads, tree frogs, skinks, anoles, and a huge variety of insects, including dragonflies, and butterflies.
Every plant was planted by me and I had a couple of bad winters with freezes. This winter was milder and I never took my orchids inside.
I am at sea level, between the Gulf of mexico and the Manatee River, but far enough away from flooding. Our climate ranges from my pond flooding from an abundance of rain, to drought. I bough a fantastic system from Lowes called the Myster. You attach it to your hose bib and run a line, which branches off into other lines and various sprinkler heads. Believe me, it is simple and comes with an instructional CD. I'm legally blind and have no trouble with it. You can add on any time. The squirrels like to chew it and I am constantly spraying it with oil and cayene pepper.
I love to incorporate my aviaries and animal enclosures into the landscape so that they don't appear to look like makeshift after thoughts.
I use only clay or resin which looks like clay. I hate plastic pots, plastic fencing, and plastic furniture. Wood, wicker, bamboo, or metal are the only materials I like.
Joan, that plant is a bouganvilla, which is very common in the south. The structure you are seeing is actually a solid wood gate, and a cat proof fence, which contains my six dogs, 3 cats, 2 goats, and 3 tortoises.
If I forgot anyone's questions, please remind me.
Ha ha Dallas! We don't have it in Florida either. But thank you Joan. I have never heard of graupel. I will find a way to ask my students about this. They'll have fun figuring it out.
Well you learn something new every day. We don't have graupel in Texas.
I was wondering that same thing. Never heard the word gropple before.

I put about 1.5 gallons of pilsner in a 3 gallon carboy 2 weeks ago. I kept it at 46˚ for the first phase of fermentation, and I'm in the middle of the second day of d-rest at 66˚. The fermentation is still going nuts (trub and hop particles flying all over, healthy and rising kraeusen, airlock bubbling multiple times ~40/minute). While it's evident that the yeast are active, I'm a tad worried because in all my previous brews there's been a healthy layer of yeast at the bottom of the fermenter, and with this batch there's just about 3 inches of trub/yeast.
I guess my question is is this a RDWHAHB moment, or is there something funky happening with the yeast? Should I swirl the carboy to jostle everything and let the yeast resettle?
Also, I typically harvest yeast after a successful fermentation. I used Wyeast 2278 czech pils this time. Does anyone have experience harvesting yeast with no visible yeast layer? Will they separate themselves during the lagering period?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
You usually get more than three inches of grub in a 3 gallon carboy? Good gravy, man, that's a lot of gunk. I'm not sure I'm following you here. You're expecting more than that?
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
I used 1.75 ounces of hops for a miniature batch in a small carboy, so I think the amount of gunk is exaggerated by the small carboy. I was going for the mega-hoppy flavor of the pilsners I tried when I was in Prague. I wasn't expecting THAT much gunk but it makes sense.
I guess I'm just confused because there's clearly yeast activity but no yeast layer.
My guess is that most of the yeast is still in suspension doing what they do. And the rest is mixed in with the trub.
It may stay mixed and need to be washed after fermentation has finished to make it layer with the yeast above the trub.

NCIS Showrunner Scoop: Moving on from Ziva, Wrapping Up Parsa & Moreby Jim Halterman at . Updated at . Comments
NCIS Season 11 has been one of change, new directions and new faces.
And it could've all crashed and burned like a conspirator's bomb.
Instead, the show has recovered well from the departure of Cote de Pablo's Ziva and the impact that development had on core relationship of Ziva and Tony.
The addition of Emily Wickersham as Ellie Bishop has been a positiv thing mostly because she's not so much as a replacement for Ziva as she is a new, interesting character for the NCIS team and the series itself. Bravo!
At the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, I sat down with showrunner Gary Glasberg to talk over where we're at in this season and where we're heading, including why he and Mark Harmon may soon be spending time in New Orleans..
TV Fanatic: You guys have gone over this big hurdle with Ziva gone and it seems to be working really well.
Gary Glasberg: It's kind of great. I'm fascinated by...Season 11 should be like you come in and put it on auto-pilot and it's been anything but that. So to be hit with what we started with, which was Ziva's departure, and then all the effort that went into finding Emily and creating Bishop…
I think that overall the response has been fantastic. There'll always be a group of people who continue to really hold on, and I appreciate how connected they are to Ziva but I don't think I could have asked for this transition to work any better, honestly.
TVF: The fact that you're still bringing up Ziva's name, how do you navigate when to stop doing that or when you don't need to do it as much? Is there a gauge for that at all?
GG: I feel like, internally, we all feel like it's necessary to move on. We recognize in life that people might comment or look back or say, 'Ziva would have done this,' or 'Ziva would have done that.' Is there an opportunity to do that? Yeah, once in a while. But I also feel like it's a little bit of a mine field in that every time you revisit a character like that, it brings your existing cast back, and they're not allowed to grow, and so it's important for all of them to move on in a lot of ways.
There's an interesting dynamic, a brother-sister sort of dynamic that's there between Tony and Bishop. You know, the connection between Bishop and Gibbs, I think, is different than anything that he had with Ziva. We're pleased with it. And off-camera, too, the chemistry and the support that Harmon and Weatherly and Pauley and the rest of the team have offered to Emily has been fantastic. And we'll experiment and find things and continue to figure out who she is.
TVF: Will we get more personal stories with her and get to know her life outside of work?
GG: No, it'll get there. We know that she's married. We know that she's from Oklahoma. I'd love to meet her parents at some point, or a parent. We know that she's got a large family, a bunch of brothers. I'd love to meet them. I know that the husband, who's also at the NSA, is a big part of who she is, and we'll certainly touch on that at some point, but the beauty of NCIS is sort of doling it out in little bits and pieces and touching on it and then walking away from it for a while and coming back, so we'll get there.
TVF: In regards to this week's episode, our review brought up whether Tony flirting with Martinez was too soon, not because of Ziva but because of McGee's story. Thoughts?
GG: It's such a tightrope, and everyone responds to Tony differently. At some point, we have to let Tony be Tony. And part of his defense mechanism is flirtation. And so wherever he is psychologically, to look at a woman or comment to a woman or spend time with a woman may not be what you're interpreting on the surface. There's usually something else going on with him, it's just the nature of who he is.
TVF: Is there more of Martinez coming?
GG: Right now, we don't have anything written, but I think the consensus was that she was fun. So if the opportunity comes up and we can make a connection through a case, then I'd be happy to have her come back.
TVF: The whole Parsa story, that arc, is that going to be with us for a while or is that just kind of a contained arc?
GG: After [NCIS Season 11 Episode 13], there's one more, and then it wraps itself up in a really significant, cool way and I'm about to go into the editing room and start working on that. I'm pleased with it. It was a fun sort of villain to launch at the beginning of the season. It's not going to carry all the way through to the end, but we'll certainly tie it up in a way that I think people will be satisfied with.
TVF: Will repercussions from the end of that arc, will we see that, moving forward? Does it have any kind of big impact?
GG: It absolutely affects Gibbs. It affects Bishop in a huge way. And of course, the repercussions of what happened between McGee and Delilah will continue further into the season.
TVF: What can you tell me about where we're heading with Delilah and McGee and how her recovery will impact their relationship?
GG: Adding this to any relationship is a tremendous amount of weight on both of their shoulders. She has to figure out what her life is going to be like. He now has a relationship with someone who's been through something tragic and is dealing with changes and who they are and how they're going to move forward. I think it's real and I think that they'll come at issues and problems as they surface. I'm excited about it. I feel like it's not something that you see on television very often. To have a disabled character will be unique for us, it will be a challenge but I think all the writers are willing to rise to the occasion and give it a shot.
TVF: I know she's very busy, but Susanna Thompson, any more with her? She has such a nice chemistry with Mark.
GG: That worked out well, didn't it? I'd love to have her come back. You know, it was funny. It had been so long. And we approached her, and I think she was a little hesitant, just wondering what it was that we were planning. And then when she saw the script and how we wanted to use her, she came and played and was excited, and it went great. She told us she had a fantastic time. So I think it would be fun to have her back again, but we'll have to see when and where…I was very lucky in that because of the relationship between CBS and the CW, we were able to figure something out. But scheduling-wise, she would go shoot up there for a few days and then she'd come back to us. It was a little bit of a juggle.
TVF: I know over the years Gibbs has had different romantic things, whether it's Jamie Lee Curtis or other people. Will Gibbs have any romance the rest of this season?
GG: This season, because of all of the change and the adjustment and the things that were being introduced, we didn't feel like this was a season to sort of get him involved with someone, but it's always a fun story arc, and Mark's always game. It'll happen again.
TVF: Where are you and Mark with the spin-off?
GG: I've written two episodes that will air sometime the end of March. Both scripts are written. I'm really excited about it. The characters are rich and fun and different, and it mixes the Washington with this New Orleans world in what I hope is a unique and different way. We haven't cast yet. We're just starting the process. There's a lot of work to do. I'm going to go down there next week for a day or two. It's all just beginning and ramping up, and people seem to be enthusiastic, and hopefully, we'll come up with something good.
TVF: Can we expect all of our NCIS people to be in those episodes, or do you think you'll give some of them a breather just because there will be new people coming in?
GG: The way that the scripts are structured, they don't all go [to New Orleans], but they are all in the episodes. So there's business going on in DC and then there's business going on back there, and there's a lot of inter-cutting that happens.
TVF: What does the rest of the season hold, including the 250th episode. Any guest stars to talk about?
GG: We're in prep on the big DiNozzo senior 250th episode, so we're excited about that. After that, I don't think I have anybody really, guest-wise, lined up yet, but I know I've got some roles coming up that should be fun. And then also, the writing staff and I are about to sit down and start arcing out the final four episodes of the season.
So yeah, it's a bit of a roller coaster ride from this point forward because I've got an episode that starts prepping Monday, and then right after that, we start prepping New Orleans. So there's all the work that goes along with that. And then I come back from those two episodes, and then I think we have one or two episodes, and then we'll launch right into our final arc. So it's going to be an interesting run.
TVF: For the 250th, do you approach it as more of an homage to the 250 episodes or do you think of it as a way to kind of shift gears a little bit for whatever's coming next?
GG: When we did Man Walks Into a Bar, that was really an homage and that was something we understood could be different and should be different. This is really just a really sort of a fun, traditional episode of the show. It's a milestone. It's a fantastic milestone. We're happy with how things are going and want to keep it going. We figured bringing back Mr. Wagner was a fun nod to things, and he actually did the 150th. So yeah. So we figured, well, this is a good time to do it.
NCIS Season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.

D O NOT.like the new girl..PERIOD!!!
This season has been perfect, everything fan have been asking for
Hate to disagree, Mikey, but chemistry is EXACTLY that: it is an instant attraction or affinity between two or more substances or, in this case, people. If some people here aren't feeling it now, then they probably never will. On the other hand, others here DO think New Girl is fitting in just fine with Old Cast. Besides, the human race is famous for building entire civilizations on snap judgments and non-critical thinking. As for me, I stand with the "wait and see" crowd. And Keith makes a good point: reality is overrated.
People, chemistry doesn't become golden with the snap of the fingers. Give it some time. And every character is still acting the same as they always have been. In fact I would say Tony and Abby have improved. And stop saying NCIS is no longer the number one show anymore. Ziva leaving has done very little to affect the ratings.
Actually it isn't, 'The Big Bang Theory' is. It's getting 24 million viewers a week, between live and the 7 Day DVR Number. And the all important 18-49 Demo Number, which sells ads for the network, is in the upper 4's or at 5 most weeks. 'NCIS' is upper 2's to 3, which is horrible, horrible for a Demo Number. And I will point out that 'Sunday Night Football' gets 25 million live viewers a week. Also please go into the NCIS WIkipedia page for ratings from Season 7 until this year, on the ratings on the second half of the season, which starts in January, this is the first time since Season 6, that 'NCIS' had a January episodes under 20 million 'Live Viewers', it was 19.72 with a horrible 3.0 Demo number. This time last year, 'Shiva' had 22.8 million viewers and the following week 'Hit And Run' got over 22 million viewers also. So it's down 3 million viewers from this time last year.
Hey now - we cant have any reality like that here... its supposed to be all irrational loathing that Cote left, and the new girl is horrible...
look up entertainment weeklies top 100 for the first half of the season for reality.
I have been watching ncis for years, and loved the show, and with Ziva, it got an energy and chemistry that made it very special! Now, with Ziva gone, the show has lost its excitement and luster, and I have tried to give the new female addition a positive outlook, it is impossible...that special element is gone...she does not bring anything to the show for me. I may watch older shows, but I do not find the show as well done with a character that brings little to the mix! How foolish management of these networks are...I personally love the crew as it was, not as it is...a viewer gone!! I appreciate the years /til now!
Is Gary Glassman crazy? I am sure he insulted Cote when they were
negotiating salary. I am sure that he didn't do right by Cote and made it
seem her fault that she left. She was the dynamite and the glue that
held the show together. Bishop is a peuny person that has no personality and doesn't show any respect for Gibbs. How can this work. Gary have you noticed that NCIS has dropped out ot the top show, in fact it is no longer on the grid period. Beg her and get Ziva back. I have all the DVD's from the beginning. I like Kate but Ziva was better with all her energy. You have spoiled the show, I don't feel like watching anymore, Take the advice from a 74 old lady...You had the best show and don't destroy it anymore.
@Rosemary - Why exactly are you sure that Gary Glasburg insulted Ms. de Pablo? Do you have even one shred of proof or are you still in the anger faze of your loss and are throwing around wild, unsubstantiated accusations? NCIS is still on top and as a matter of fact, many episodes are up around 1 million viewers from the same time last year. Ziva's character became the show's main focus, and Ms. de Pablo left at the last possible moment, so of course the show is struggling a bit with how to move on. I continue to wish that they would give Tony a really good arc, since he had become merely supporting cast in the ongoing Ziva melodramas and the team joke. I too hope that they tone Ellie down a bit as I believe that they are trying too hard and I certainly don't want another situation where it becomes all about the wonder skills, traumas, and dramas of "the girl". I am hopeful that they'll find their groove with the new character and that NCIS will return to being about a TEAM, each with unique and important skills, who work together and solve interesting crimes.
Totally agree Rosemary. I am a 70 year old Gramma, and Gary has spoiled the show, and I too don't look forward to watching it like I have for 10 years. Wonder if Gary has read the NCIS Facebook page, or is he living under his own little cloud? I understand Cote de Pablo is gone, however, bringing in this new character who acts far younger than my 18 year old granddaughter just isn't working. This was a major bone head decision in the casting, and we the audience have to live with it or just not watch anymore. Oh well, I have ten seasons on DVD which are far more enjoyable than season 11 has been thus far. Doubt I will buy the season 11 set. So sad....
Rosemary you're not just wrong you're wrong at the top of your voice! And his last name is Glasberg, And he had nothing to do with Cote's departure, neither did Mark Harmon. Cote left because she wanted to. She's shooting a movie right now, you think she'd be doing NCIS and a movie in south america at the same time? Do you think that either the movie or the show would adjust their schedules around one person? Get real. Cote's doing what she wants to do the cast is cool about that, they've had to move on and we need to get over our obsession with one character,learn to embrace the next one to sit at the desk or walk away. What's done is done,
How are you "sure" that he insulted Cote? How are you "sure" that he didn't do right by her? You can't possibly know what went on in those negotiations.
Um no. NCIS is still in the top list of shows. Everysingle episode has been number one of the night and has been number 1 to the number 3 in the week. Just as it has always been.
Everyone seems to forget that NCIS was in danger of cancellation before Cote arrived. As a post-syndication fan I definitely would not have been compelled to watch NCIS if Ziva had not been there. I think NCIS added millions of viewers because of the new team dynamics with Ziva.
It was never in danger of cancelation. Stop rewriting history. NCIS took off because of syndication, and those episodes started with Kate, not Ziva. It rose to the top in season 6, might as well credit the arrival of Vance for its success. Syndication is why NCIS is where it is today not because of one character.
LOL but what's up against it to beat it you Mikey. LOL of course it's #1 for the night. But it's #15 in the all important $$$$$$ making 18-49 Demo Number. And after the 7 Day DVR Number comes out, it's #2 behind 'The Big Bang Theory'.
also if you note entertainment weekly the top 100 shows 2+ NCIS is #1 its tops football!
It's still the #1 drama week after week, and very often the #1 show period, It's even beaten Sunday Night Football at least once this season. In the Demo it's never been #1 and that includes +7. Last week it was the 3d most watched show live after the Golden Globes and Play off Football. Not bad for a show with a cast that no one seems to like anymore.
Rosemary, I sit in your aisle...you said what I now feel about this show that was so good, it was difficult to wait for the next one. Now, I rarely watch...you said it all! Thanks...
Poor Emily, she has been put in a bad situation. She will have to go back to wherever she came from. The writers need to be fired or at the very least made to watch every episode of the previous years to get why the viewers LOVED the show then and for the most part hate it now. Please, please, please fix the writing now, bring back the real Tony who was such a great investigator, bring back Ziva, come on guys, get with it, just do the right thing and quickly.
Really, Tony is better now than in years past, the writers are the same, some go back to the shows beginnings, Its all about the one who will not be mentioned for you all. As I said Tony is a great investigator and leader and now a great human being, and the show is all about teamwork as before. THere are still trials and tribulations just like before, they just don't feature that certain someone who will remain unmentioned . She left, enough said.
I appreciate what you are saying, but must respectfully disagree. We may never see eye to eye about Ziva leaving, but almost everyone has to admit that the writing this year is off the pace from years past.
Then we disagree, the writing is as good as before, the shows ratings are consistently at the top in total viewers, it is also tops in 19-49 in its time slot. In fact the ratings this year have been more consistent. Considered one of the few bright spots in episodic TV as far as retaining viewership this year. Even Blacklist slid this week badly without the Voice lead in. I just don't understand how people can continue to whine for something that cannot happen, at least not this year. Next year anything is possible, but to slam the writing well its just your opinion too. 19.8mill disagree or are just too lazy to change the channel.
I've watched since the beginning, and I don't think the writing is off.
What I find so amusing is how differently everyone responds to the changes. Some attack over physical appearance , some make claims the dynamic has changed, Abby child like, Gibbs angry, Tony goofy,immature,etc, or Tony would never cook for a friend? What's he in a mens' support group for? Bishop pushes everyone aside. WHy doesn;t Gibbs slap her down? Really people? Abby is far more mature than in years past. If you haven't noticed most unnatural blonds have dark eyebrows. Gibbs has always had an undercurrent of anger which he's tried to temper over the years, as experience has bitten him in the butt at times. Tony, what can you say, he's growing up before our eyes and yet still has the ability to be the cut up we love him to be. HE's been showing his leadership regularly, but being kinder whole still funny. Bishop is a work in progress, an extremely bright puzzle geek, who's mannerisms while to some could annoy,,,I seriously doubt that we haven't all met someone like her, driven to find answers, so focused they might well walk into a wall, and not notice. She's not an agent, she's not a probie, she's on loan from the NSA, why would Gibbs interfere with her process, if that's how she gets her answers. She also doesn't have all the answers, both Gibbs and Tony came up with answers in their heads before she could finish talking it out. THat is what exemplifies teamwork which is what this show has always been about.
But it's #15 in the 18-49 weekly demo number, upper 2's and 3's are horrible for advertisers they don't make money off of it and neither does the network. I don't see Tony doing much of anything other than standing around and watching Bishop solve the case, sorry. And I could not stand Ziva's character was so glad that Cote left. And I agree folks should quit picking on Emily's appearance. I do have gripes about her character, but I'll blame that on the writers, because after all Emily does not writer Bishop's lines.
Except for TBBT all series TV is in the 2's to 3's in the demo,or worse. the last Blacklist is in the mid 2's for its latest that's a huge fall from the 3.5 for the previous episode. That means that NCIS will be #1 this week again, for dramas.THe +7 is unimportant to advertisers as fast forward is expected, commercials just aren't seen. SHIELD is barely pulling 2.2, a very expensive show to produce yet it is expected to survive into next year. NCIS makes huge money for CBS and the advertisers love it because they don't ask obscene amounts for the advertising, and compared to crap like GLEE. Ad time for NCIS has been in the 150000 to 160000 for years, 230000for GLEE? Really? 250000 for Simpsons of Family Guy? who's getting the bargain? Yes we think that its the advertisers who set the rates, but no its the networks, NCIS is the deal. One hour of quality time spent with a nice cast, who care about their product. Why else would viewership increase in the half hour measures week after week. Generally doesn't happen for any other one hour show.
Thank you for helping me to understand more about Bishop. I feel I can now look at her in a new light.
Tony should be a woman's dream. He is serious or funny when needed, is trying to develop more as a mature adult and even knows how to cook.
you're welcome and so right about Tony. He's becoming such a great guy. Still fun, but realizing the limits exist. Love when he vocalizes his inner monologue.
I roll my eyes, don't find it funny. Tony has not been funny since Season 5.
So many comments about hating how the show is now and yet 20 million tune in every week...
19 million viewers tuned in last week and in years past during the beginning of the 2nd half of the Season which starts in January, 'NCIS" always got 20 and 21 million viewers a week until the end of February, it got 21 Million for 'Shabbot Shalom', 22.8 Million for 'Shiva'. 22 Million for 'Hit And Run', 21 Million viewers for 'Canary', 21 Million viewers for 'HereAfter', 21 Million Viewers for 'Prime Suspect', 20 Million Viewers for 'Detour'. If anything from a year ago it's down 4 million viewers and the demo number is down from last year also.
The money making ratings are down. Last year's second episode, Shiva, got a 3.9 and this year's second episode only got a 3.0. It is a 23 percent drop from last year. This season only one Ziva-less episodes has gotten a 3.1 and the rest are below that. The two Ziva farewell episodes got a 3.6 and 3.5.
Yes last year was unique, and couldn't likely be duplicated no matter what. All TV is looked at with relative disinterest now, that NCIS should feel that way to some , especially the disenfranchised, not surprising either. But it was 20.8mil last week not 19mil, and while they didn't pull off a followup bigger audience for the second part, lets face it Ziva angst was always more compelling than anything with the guys. But I got tired of Ziva angst. I'm glad they handled Hollis and Gibbs the way they did, it was sweet, caring but not overplayed. They parted friends again. I'm looking forward to Mcgee and Delilah's story playing out, because it may deliver more hope than angst and pain.
I know characters come and go, but the departure of Cote has very much effected the dynamics of NCIS. There is no longer the fun repartee and zingers among the characters. After 10 years I expected Tony to grow up a bit; I didn't not expect him to lose his sense of fun and sense of humor. He has no one to bounce off. He had that with Kate and Ziva so it's not so much that I miss the characters, I miss the relationships among the characters. I do miss Ziva because of her energy, depth of character.and back story. Maybe that will evolve with Emily. She's a slob. I also agree with Abby becoming more childlike. She needs to grow up and not be treated like Gibbs' daughter. As for Gibbs - why has he become so angry? He's always been gruff but there was a humanity before.
I enjoyed your comments, and no longer look forward to viewing ncis. CBS has not only changed the dynamics of the team, for me the plots and chemistry are gone!
I have no idea what is CBS's goal but if they wanted to keep the show for a long time they should have kept their younger cast members happy, especially MW, CdP, and PP. I think it would be perfectly natural for MH and DM to retire and the younger members could have kept it going for many more years. They already had a good dynamic going when Gibbs retired to Mexico at the start of the fourth season. At this point they have just written themselves into a corner that if MH wants to retire they will not be able to survive with the show because the dynamics are not there anymore. It is just not business savvy at all to shorten the life of your show.
Michael Weatherly is 45, and Pauley is 44, their middle aged people. This show is Mark Harmon's vehicle he is the star, the rest are ensemble supporting characters, if he leaves there is no show. Everyone with the exception of Mark, and I believe Michael and Pauley are replaceable, we're on our second female 4th chair resident, there's been 3 Directors. Characters come and go but the replacement one has to be written correctly and not written to be all over the place and take on where Ziva left off as the series resident Mary Sue.

Dumbama will destroy this company.
I am talking about the huge price swings.
one to watch.
Didn't the company just beat earnings and raise guidance? The street sites lower net income but isn't that due to the customer project for which they will be reimbursed?
step up and start buying back some shares now.
EPS will be .05 to .06 per share for 2014
Book value is more than double the share price, 2.79
Are you expecting them to reinstate the div. this year?
I hope you all catch the plague next.
The company is doing great but we should sell because the stock price is so cheap?
US officially a third world nation now, well done.
Hope you have a strong stomach and a long time horizon, good luck.
Anyone please, don't have time to do research right now.
and will add on any pullbacks. I like this stock under $2, and will like it even more if it gets cheaper.
Possible chance of takeover.

Veterans get Knicks off to good start in preseason opener
The Knicks got off to a good start in their preseason debut – literally.
They scored 38 first-quarter points and after squandering, a 17-point lead beat the Wizards 108-101 last night.
Both teams are banged up and with all due respect to the Wizards they could be one of the worst teams in the league, but what you look for in the preseason is how guys play together, what units work, whether...Read more »
Amar'e Stoudemire out with a bruised knee
Amar'e Stoudemire bruised his left knee in practice yesterday and is out for tonight's preseason opener against the Wizards.
The Knicks are downplaying the injury. Mike Woodson said, "If this was a regular season game he would play." But after everything Stoudemire went through last season and the age of the team always being an issue, any injury raises questions.
At least at this point...Read more »
A rough couple of days for J.R. Smith and his younger brother Chris
The Smiths haven't received good news over the last couple of days.
First, J.R. Smith learned that despite his preference to start that Mike Woodson wants him to continue coming off the bench. In describing his feelings, Smith said "disappointed would be an understatement."
Then Smith's younger brother Chris, who was hoping to get one of the final rosters on the Knicks, learned he needed...Read more »
The improved point guard position and other practice notes
Many Knicks' fans are not happy that Jeremy Lin isn't back, but their point guard position is improved from last season.
Coach Mike Woodson, as expected, essentially said Raymond Felton would be his starting point guard. Jason Kidd will back him up – and likely finish games – and could play some with Felton.
"Raymond will be probably the starting point guard right now," Woodson said....Read more »
Newsday.com poll: Knicks should start Felton at point guard
When Iman Shumpert returns from injury, the Knicks will have four options at point guard: Shumpert, Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni.
Newsday.com users think the choice at starter is a no-brainer.
Nearly two-thirds of readers voted that Felton should be the team's starting point guard. He far our-distanced Kidd, who was the second choice at 17 percent:

Knicks improved this offseason
The Knicks are just about done putting their roster together for next season.
There could be some things that come up between now and training camp – a trade call can come at any time. But other than that, all the Knicks have are minimum contracts to offer free agents.
The Knicks have 15 players under contract, 13 of them guaranteed. Chris Smith's deal isn't fully guaranteed – although...Read more »

If you run it will get you. If you stay it will eat you.
Great Film!!! Not only are the characters in City of God absolutely fascinating, and also very endearing, but also convincingly acted by groups of young and unknown actors. The stories are well-told, and at times, funny, and at others, brutally shocking. The cinematic style of the film gives a nod to Tarantino, with some clever time-jumping, freeze-framing, and texts indicating another chapter of the film. In every sense, a bit of a Brazillian "Pulp Fiction" or "Goodfellas", but with its own unique flavour to it. The City of God is a marvel, and a highly recommended film to watch, but not recommended for the over-sensitive or easily distressed.
Brazil, 1960's, City of God. The Tender Trio robs motels and gas trucks. Younger kids watch and learn well...too well. 1970's: Li'l Z� has prospered very well and owns the city. He causes violence and fear as he wipes out rival gangs without mercy. His best friend Ben� is the only one to keep him on the good side of sanity. Rocket has watched these two gain power for years, and he wants no part of it. Yet he keeps getting swept up in the madness. All he wants to do is take pictures. 1980's: Things are out of control between the last two remaining gangs...will it ever end? Welcome to the City of God.

Following the lives of a group of friends and their extended circle growing up in the slums of Rio De Janeiro, this story will strike a chord with the poor and desperate around the world. Honest and hardworking Rocket slaves away for a pittance while watching brutal hoods take everything they want without conscience with the authorities caring little for this unwanted underclass so the ruthless run free to perpetuate an endless cycle of violence when desperation gives way to greed. This film is a stunning experience as you watch children play cops and robbers with real guns as only the most coldblooded and heartless survive; the cinematography is truly gorgeous, almost too much so considering the subject matter. The performances are also totally convincing all round, even to the smallest child. Direction is similarly flawless, brilliantly revisiting characters and plot points at strategic intervals and masterfully recreating a sense of time passing and the evolution of this criminal "dynasty", only for it to be shockingly ended by the next generation. Add to this the fact that this story is actually true and you have a film of incredible resonance. One of the best crime stories you will ever see.

A compelling account of a 1970s gang war in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, "City of God" manages to not only entertain the audience as we might be entertained during any violent inner-city story, but it also manages to set aside time to explore its main characters, creating a Lord-of-the-Flies-esque view of the sort of behavior to which we might resort under an anarchistic setting. This film is often found on all-time-best-movies lists, and for good reason. There are so few films as well-made and compelling as this.

Magnificent, powerful and totally compelling.
I felt transported into the City of God whilst watching this film, the director really makes you feel every inch of the film and care for and despise some of the characters.
It's a solid yet exciting film with faultless performances. Leandro Firmino was especially excellent as Li'l Z�, I don't think I've ever hated a character as much.
This film is wonderfully crafted with beautiful cinematography that takes you on an exhilirating and brutal journey into the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Probably one of the best foreign films I have seen, it stays with you. See this movie.

Cidade de Dues (City of God) is a story of the "favelas", the slums of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and the hardships of the people living there, just trying to get by and survive the violent envornment they live in. Two friends are at the heart of the story striving to make ends meet and escape the chaos around them. One chooses photography as a means of escape and uses his surroundings as his work. The other struggles to pull himself away from the gang, gun and drug culture which puts their friendship at risk.
A very brutal, violent but totally gripping and powerful film that doesn't shy away from the dangers of living in extreme poverty.
Quite simply an absolute belter!!!

Technically this is a great film and I loved watching the characters grow and the cinematography was great. It really shows the class divide in Rio and I just lvoed the setting. The acting was really good and natural. I didn't really like the story and I didn't find it entertaining in that way as it was just about drugs and gun violence. It was interesting to watch to see what happened and how things turned out but it wasn't something I'd watch again. It shows very clearly that crime just can't be stopped in an area like this. It will continue to thrive, even when the gang leaders are taken out.

A great film based on a true story of the life of a group of friends growing up in the slums of Rio. Drawn into a violent life of crime, drugs and murder from a young age. The way it charts the life of the friends and brothers through the years and how their actions effect them in the future is very well done. A very entertaining film!

Gripping, honest and beautiful storytelling, looks amazing on the screen and just sears its viewer. [I'll likely say more about how the Best Foreign Language Oscar was stolen from this one in 2002 once I've seen the shortlisted competitors and can prove it, but let me just say this: it must've been one hell of a year for movies to leave this out.]

Welcome to the world... the City of God. Founded in 1960 in the southern corner of Rio De Janiero, used as a slum housing area for immigrants and the poor. A place that was supposed to be a symbol of peace and freedom.No.Welcome to the dark world of crime, drugs, violence and cruelty to which there is no escape. Rocket is a young boy living with his parents and older brother, growing up in the city, and watching the city grow around him. Torn between the need to make it out and successful, but seeing that the most likley way is through crime, he finally gets his unexpected break through sheer blind luck and the audacity of the criminals to which his life revolves around. Seeing his brother growing up as a hood and getting killed, seeing drugs destroy people, and seeing how the greed and thirst for blood and power can destroy a world, he becomes the observer through his narrative, eyes and ears and the lens of his camera. The narrator of life in this modern hell, fuelled by the desire for success and survival.Its gruesome, brutal, tough and not even the tough survive, only the smart ones. The movie revovles around the history of City of God as a cesspool of degenerates and debauchery, from Rocket's peers becoming the Kingpins of Crime, to the rise of kindergaten kids weilding weapons, consuming drugs and terrorising the innocent. Noone is safe... and its ironic to see that the world Rocket wants no part of, is the world which will bring him his glory.Its easy to lose yourself in this film, which is exactly the way I like it. forget you are at home watching this, you are too busy living 30 years into the past in another world, a world which did exist and still exists to this very day. The lure of power and greed is something noone can resist if you lived and breathed these boys and men, and how could you turn away, if all you had was your pride and will?Its authentic and unnatural at the same time... Ive seen war zones and my share of slums in movies and life, and this is no exception. I guess the info about the director and crew using the real settings and real "favelahs" to star in the film, are true. How else could it be so damn real?? Or surreal... I wish I could sit on the beautiful golden beach with a hot girl... but then again I wouldn't want to do a full 180 in a second and stare down a pistol. Life changes as easy as a flip of the coin.Whats pretty shocking, or cool, is the protrayl of young boys hardend at an early age to drugs, death and crime. We see boys no older than 8-10 year old pulling the trigger, swearing, smoking pot and at the end, symbolsing the never ending cycle of hell as they take over after the bloody climax. Guns, blood, sex and drugs, its the 60's to 70's at its worst. And one of the best foriegn language films ever. If I had a pet ape, he'd give four thumbs up.

An amazingly well paced, organized and enthralling plot combined with a wonderful attention to detail and character development.
Few films cinematically activate an honest setting like this without losing the feeling that a gritty reality lies behind it. Instead, the favela setting is evident not merely the aesthetics of the film, but the acting itself... which, after all, is the main focus of the film: the characters struggle over where their identities end and where their environment begins.
Powerful and meticulously orchestrated, City of God is a film that deserves to be seen.

Yesterday I took a drive to the area that parts of Meddlers in Time were set- the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
I wrote the piece using maps and pictures from the net and having physically visited the site I picked for my Ninth Century New Zealand colony- I can say it was a good choice!
A beautiful bit of country.

You start the week focused on your finances, and you try to make your financial life better in some way, Sagittarius. Maybe you've been spending too much, maybe you haven't stuck to your budget, maybe you haven't paid enough attention to where it's all coming and going. Whatever the issue, fix it. Later in the week, you're focused on mental pursuits, and you want to spend time around others for the mental stimulation they provide you, and so you can express yourself openly. Over the weekend, your emotions take over, and you get lost in what you're feeling. On Thursday, Mercury enters your sign, and over the coming weeks, your mind moves faster, you come up with lots of ideas, you have more communications, and you're in a better mood.
Your dreams are your biggest focus during the first half of the week, Sagittarius, and you feel that there is so much you want to do, and there really isn't anything standing in the way. You're an optimistic sign, and this attitude helps you to accomplish far more than the rest of us. You try to clear the clutter and get rid of what you don't need, literally or figuratively, later in the week, to prepare yourself for the weekend. The Moon enters your sign on Saturday, and you want to explode out of the gates. On Saturday, the Sun enters and a new moon occurs in your sign, and this is one of the best times of the year for you to get something big off of the ground. It might take some time before you see the fruits of your labor, but it pays off in the end.
You focus on the more serious parts of your life during the first half of the week, Sagittarius, and can be more investigating and researching with whatever interests you most. Your will is strong, and you have a determined mind. Later in the week, you lighten up, and try to let loose a little. On Thursday, your ruler, Jupiter, harshly hits the Sun, and you can get attention you don't want, or feel ignored when you do want attention, and your vitality can be lower. Over the weekend, you become more focused and disciplined, wanting to put in some effort with one of your goals, and you feel that if you put in some extra time, you'll get a lot closer to where you want to be. On Sunday, Venus enters your sign, and you're more charming, attractive, and indulgent over the coming weeks.

Dont spend your evening sitting in the hotel watching TV. Go see a performance in an out door venue where you can get a cider. But it is outdoors, even in August you need a jacket for the cool evenings. Locals know the deal and take blanket.
Only problem is the nearby eatery is just a snack/sandwich place. Go eat a big lunch the evening you go to a performance. It is located in Balboa Park, so after you find a parking spot, you will have to walk a bit to get to the theater. Not enough time if you go to a restaurant and try to get to the theater before curtain up.

Recalling 1964, a pivotal year in U.S. history.

America's top gumshoes leave no stone unturned as they travel around the country to explore the stories behind local folklore, prominent figures, and family legends.
Recalling 1964, a pivotal year in U.S. history. While the Beatles captured the imaginations of the nation's youth, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, unveiled his vision of a "Great Society" and squared off against Barry Goldwater.
