Personalized footballs and they were perfect!
Posted by Laura Hottinger on 13th Oct 2014
We get a gift for each grade level of the football team and cheerleaders. The juniors received these and they absolutely loved them. The quality was excellent and the turnaround was better than I expected. Thanks you so much.
Posted by Sylvia Almendarez on 23rd Sep 2014
As Team Mom it was my duty to find a gift for parent day. From Day 1 of having questions on these footballs to the last day of proofing, the staff was very quick, efficient and very helpful! I will be using them again and will definitely be referring them to everyone I know! Thank you Creative Lasering!
Posted by SA on 19th Sep 2014
Received the footballs today! Thank you sooo much for all your help! I'll have happy parents next weekend!
Posted by Kelley on 15th Sep 2014
We bought two of these footballs for our nephews who are ring bearers in our up-coming wedding. The staff was prompt with the request and very helpful regarding our personalization. The footballs arrived on time and they looked great! If you're concerned about how your design will look; don't be... the site sends you a proof for your approval before they begin the personalization.

Another Top Chef Copycat
- Frodnesor Jul 15, 2008 06:45 AM
Just saw this little story about Richard Blais (from Top Chef Season 4) doing a demo of "his fiendish creation" - popcorn balls frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Top Chef Combines Popcorn, Popsicles, and Liquid Nitrogen
Pretty much the exact same dish has been done for some time at Jose Andres' minibar in Washington DC where it's called "Dragon's Breath Popcorn", a ball of crushed and reformed popcorn which you eat and then blow smoke (from the liquid nitrogen) out your nose and mouth - just like in the picture of Blais!
I just had the dish at minibar last week
Now, *maybe* minibar's dish is copying one created by Blais, but for some reason I'm dubious. What's the deal with the Top Chefs cribbing others' creations?
re: ChefJune
As I noted, it's possible that minibar is copying a dish Blais created, but seems less likely. I've gone to Blais' website, looked at all the pictures in his photo gallery (probably 50+), read all the reviews and press he's linked to there, and there's no mention of the dish. OTOH, the minibar dish has been on their online menu and has been discussed by other posters and elsewhere in various media outlets for several months.
I also see no sign of it in the El Bulli online catalog (I only reviewed the "snacks" and "dry snacks" categories which seem the most likely candidates) - closest are these two popcorn dishes which are not very similar ->
re: Miss Needle
Been pretty extensively discussed that Ilan Hall "borrowed" several of his recipes from Casa Mono (a NY tapas restaurant backed by Mario Batali where he had worked). Here's an example ->
Marcel Vigneron has also caught some flak for arguably copying a dish from wd50. Here's his (rather supercilious) defense ("I'm far too creative for that"); there are links within to the original story ->
re: Frodnesor
I think there's a significant difference between using recipes that were not only developed by someone else but *taught to you* by someone else (i.e. using recipes from a restaurant where you worked), and seeing or hearing about a dish and saying "gee, that's a neat idea, I wonder if I can do something like that."
re: Miss Needle
I think they are refering to Marcel and a dish he copied (I am just blanking out on which one) and published as his. I think chefs "copy" and are inspired by other chefs quite a bit and have been since there were people called chefs. I know now with the whole molecular gastronomy wave hitting there is much talk of "copycat" chefs. I just think it is silly to point out when we have the whole history of cuisine full of "copycats". What's next copyrighting technique?
re: mike1823
You cannot copyright a recipe or a technique, though Homero Cantu is seeking to patent some of the devices he uses to create some items including one that makes edible paper ->
No doubt the the history of gastronomy is full of examples of the re-visiting and re-invention of various recipes, techniques, presentations, etc., likely more often than not to the ultimate improvement and betterment of the field. But it seems to me that it's one thing to take inspiration from someone else's dish, and quite another to simply recreate it - and even worse, to pass it off as one's own creation. Again, I'm not sure this is what has happened here, but it appears that way.
To put it in musical terms, it's one thing to "riff" on someone else's song, or even to sample it, but it's something different to simply re-record it and act as if you wrote it.
An example that happens to be fresh on my mind since I was just at minibar - they did a dish there called "Bagels and Lox". The presentation is a cone (I assume made from a bagel chip) which is filled with a cream cheese mousse and then topped with salmon roe. Here's a pic:
This is clearly a take-off of an iconic dish done by Thomas Keller at French Laundry which starts off every meal, salmon cornets, in which a cone is filled w/ red onion creme fraiche and then salmon tartare. Here's a pic of that one:
Not exactly the same dish, but clearly minibar's is a take-off on the Keller dish. Do they give attribution to Keller on the menu? No, but I suspect if you were to ask where the dish came from, it would be mentioned. I also suspect this wouldn't be the first dish the minibar chefs would use to try to demonstrate their originality.
I'll admit there's a fine line between "homage" and "ripoff" but I think that line becomes harder to distinguish when someone takes a fairly unique dish (and look, nitrogen-frozen popcorn is not exactly chicken parmesan) and uses it as a spotlight for their own creative talents, when that exact dish is already being done elsewhere.
re: Frodnesor
<You cannot copyright a recipe or a technique, though Homero Cantu is seeking to patent some of the devices he uses to create some items including one that makes edible paper ->
http://www.motorestaurant.com/flash/r...> That is a different thing. He has devices, not just words... Devices can be patented, not copyrighted.
re: ChefJune
<That is a different thing. He has devices, not just words... Devices can be patented, not copyrighted.>
Which is exactly what I said - though actually "just words" can be copyrighted, so long as they're an original expression and not just a listing of methods or ingredients (which is why a cookbook can be copyrighted, but a recipe cannot).
Here's my uneducated reply to the whole mess, as I have no experience with molecular gastronomy, only cooking.
I never want to use the term 'limited' with it comes to creativity, and cooking. I think the the realm for that is boundless, but the tools that are currently being used (that I know of) like the anti-griddle, and the chemicals, seaweed derivitives, and liquid nitrogen, etc etc...are going to use very simlar methods over and over---making the dishes look similar, if not identical, possibly?
For example, the first person the make a stuffed chicken breast, and bread it, and than someone else stuffed it with a different filling...was that a copycat, or really a variation? Are we calling it a copycat, merely because we are so ignorant of the process?
I know hung at one point was criticised for using sous-vide too often in cooking, but his defense was it's a cooking method, just like satueing or frying, We've never said...That chef overuses poaching entirely too much...
I'm of the camp that the tools are still in a development process, the genre is growing, and the variations on the dishes are VERY different. But all chefs more than likely take their inspiration somewhere.
Now Ilan...is just a hack. ;)
Dishes cannot be copyrighted.
Add to that, there is NOTHING new under the sun. Probably even the molecular dishes that seem so innovative. Everything has been done before. And anyone who is trying to document all that, probably has too much time on their hands. ;>)
Clearly there is nothing wrong, ethically or professionally, with using dishes "created" elsewhere for Top Chef, or Ilan would have been disqualified instead of being named the winner. Everyone knew he was cooking his dishes from Casa Mono. But he did them very well, obviously!
re: ChefJune
(1) As for "nothing new under the sun" - quite to the contrary, I suspect there are a multitude of dishes or components of dishes that have been created by Adria and many of the other pioneers in this area that do not have historical antecedents (and at the same time there are many that deliberately borrow from traditional dishes as well). I don't buy the "everything's been done before" story - I can pretty much guarantee you there's no nitrogen-frozen popcorn in Larousse Gastronomique.
(2) I tremble in fear when we are using a reality show's standards to determine what is ethical or professional. But my point really isn't ethics or professionalism though it overlaps into both - it's really about creativity. Yes, chefs copy each other all the time. But when you're pitching yourself as a creative, experimental chef, and you make a big media splash with a dish (and this story appeared in a multitude of media outlets simultaneously, so it's the result of a concerted PR effort), is a dish that's been copied from someone else really the best example?
Having done a bit more googling, I can see at least a couple other prior uses of nitrogen-frozen popcorn ->
By Homero Cantu as a garnish to a soup (note this was published in 2005) ->
From some CH comments on McCrady's in Charleston (2007) ->
So, let me modify the suggestion that he was copying minibar specifically to say that I think it's goofy to be getting PR for "creating" or "inventing" a dish that's been done by others before you in basically the exact same format and for the exact same effect. And let me qualify that as well by saying that while Blais himself may not be making the claim of "inventing" the dish, that's invariably how the media picks it up, which is unquestionably tied to the positioning of oneself as a creative experimental chef, e.g. ->
Chefs copy all the time from each other. Not just chefs, cooks, cookbook authors, you name it.
The rule of thumb is if you change one ingredient or alter one measurement you can "ethically" claim a dish to be yours. My personal rule of thumb is there should be three changes before calling anything your own.
And then it also comes down to how there is not an inifinite number of combinations in the world. Like musical notes, only so many, and eventually there is going to be overlap.
Next, add in to this the case of "simultaneous discovery". If only two people come up with the same exact dish in a single day two different places in the world, independent from each other, that's few in number. It might not be two, might be hundreds or thousands.
And in this particular case toss in the limits and experiments of molecular gastrononmy and where trying new things out people will go the same places .... *plus*, as someone has already mentioned, both have trained under Adria, the master ....
..... and all I have to say is phooey! Copy *this*, already.
re: HarryK
<The rule of thumb is if you change one ingredient or alter one measurement you can "ethically" claim a dish to be yours.>
Don't know where you got the "one ingredient" thing. I've been in the business for 26 years, and it has always been THREE, and/or significant method changes.
re: ChefJune
I got my one from hearing cooks and chefs on television say that. Rachael did once. Bourdain conversing with someone on one of his shows they said that. (You never know, they might have been sarcastic though, sometimes hard to tell with Anthony.) Heard it a few other times elsewhere on TV.
Think Flay twice said it. Again they laugh when they say "think I'll do this and steal it". Though Flay said that once and it appeared on a restaurant menu of his a month later, though who knows if he made more than a single change Saw one old episode of Boy Meets Grill where he said his sous chef did something unique and Bobby made his own my changing the technique from half classical method and half his sous chef's method.
Again, always disagreed with the one item method. Glad "my" three rule is also the industry's "three" rule, Chef June. But as to where I got it, yep have heard it many times on television from five or six different sources.
A key thing for me, in this kind of situation, is that Blais isn't quoted as saying that he invented the dish or came up with it with no input or influence from any other chef. The writer is crediting him with inventing the dish, but Blais himself didn't, apparently, say anything about it. If asked, he might well talk about how he had a dish like it at X restaurant, or heard about it from a chef in DC or what have you. In my experience, chefs often talk about taking an idea from another dish and are quick to point out a source of inspiration.
re: ccbweb
Here's the actual press release ->
and here's a quote ->
"Richard Blais, best known as one of the three finalists on Bravo's Top Chef: Chicago has combined delicious Garrett Popcorn with his own brand of quirky kitchen science to create an interactive summertime snack experience."
Isn't a reasonable reading of that sentence that Blais created the dish?
True, he is not quoted as saying that he invented the dish, but isn't that the intended implication, particularly when you're talking about a chef whose stock in trade is his creativity? Again, to be fair, it would appear that Garrett Popcorn Shops was the source of the press release and not Blais - but it's not like it happened in a vacuum.
re: Frodnesor
Sure that's a reasonable reading of the sentence. But its also a literally accurate sentence. Personally, I think that in order to cover this kind of thing chefs would have to pretty much footnote everything they do. I'm comfortable with the belief that Andres, Achatz, Dufresne, Blais and others are all sharing ideas, taking ideas, pulling inspiration and modifying concepts from each other all the time. They're not necessarily going to give the history of each thing they're doing (especially, as you note, when it isn't their press release to begin with).
re: ccbweb
I'm fairly involved in food, food culture, and like to read about MG.
I've never heard about this dish before.
98% of the people this will reach, also, will never have heard of it before to. I'm sure it will have the desired effect, regardless of who concieved it. For all we know, that journalist spent a day in the kitchen with Blais and he made ten dishes. The photographer only took the one shot for the AP, so this one is the one we're talking about.
It's like arguing who 'invented' choc. covered potato chips.
re: sommrluv
I didn't invent liquid nitrogen, I didn't invent popcorn. I didn't invent the caramel, or the wooden skewers they are served on.
Many chefs have dipped popcorn, and marshmallows, and everything else in LN2.
I "copied" something that science teachers have been using in classrooms for years, well before any of you knew who Adria was.
I'm introducing a modern technique to a brand new demographic, people who are just walking down the street on 5th avenue.
If frozen popcorn is an introduction to creative cooking, and some of these people who get their first MG experience for free, then start making reservations at any creative kitchen, or start learning about it, or become interested, then thats the goal.
and it's an event a a popcorn shoppe, I'm not selling it, it's free !
re: richard blais
fwiw i agree with you. you don't need to "invent" a foodstuff or a technique in order to introduce it to an audience that is unfamiliar with it. in fact, when you're introducing a brand new food/technique, it's generally much better to keep it simple and fun, using a tried & true technique that's had a good response elsewhere.
i don't think that anybody would have a problem, if you were, say, passing out free samples of cheese or truffles on 5th avenue.
it's when you're preparing something. . . *now* there's apparently a problem. . . 1) i don't get why this would be so-- 2) especially if it's for a free event, not at your own establishment, & the product is given away for free. as you say "I'm not selling it,"-- so i don't think the product has any "Blais branding," or "Adria branding," there is more branding from garrett's than anything else imho.
mainly i'm posting a response to you because the crickets were getting deafening.
re: richard blais
rB - that's a completely legitimate and reasonable response, and my initial reaction was probably way too harsh. I understand now that you didn't control the press release, and even less so the way that the media describes it - my bad. But I think the difficulties come when something is presented as if someone "invented" or "created" a dish, when it has been done before. No doubt this will happen quite often as the mainstream media generally don't have any sense of context for this stuff, but still, it can raise the hackles when you read that someone "created" something that you just ate in someone else's restaurant a couple weeks earlier.
I completely agree that if the PR and the event create more of an audience for this kind of creative cooking (both yours and others'), that's a good thing - and I wish you the best of luck,
re: Frodnesor
Good points, all.
Hopefully it's him, and not someone using the internet as fun. :)
Watch frodnesor backpedal in his awe! LOL. J/K
As I said in my earlier post, is it possible we as fans are so ignorant of the process, we are quick to see something similar done in technique and point fingers? It's a concern.
The science reference reminds me of a biology class where we disected squid, than breaded, deep fried, and ate them....Great class!!
re: sommrluv
I actually think that the more you know about the processes, the more likely you are to recognize that something which might be touted as "novel" may not be so novel after all.
The concern I have is that folks who may not be familiar (and this includes the media who report on such things) see something for the first time and hail it as an "invention" or "creation" when in fact it's something that others have already done, whether in the same format or some variation on it.
Our biology lab wasn't nearly as well stocked as yours or rb's - we had neither liquid nitrogen nor deep-fryers.
re: RBCal
I'm not sure that is correct - my understanding was that the ingredient list is not copyrighted, but the instructions are, though one may paraphrase them, as opposed to reproducing them word for word. I don't think there is an issue with using the recipes to cook from them. A patent is a different issue, I think.
"Mere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds, or prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection. However, when a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection."
re: MMRuth
MMRuth, you are correct.
All cookbooks are copyright... but you are free to copy the ingredient list, anytime you want!!! ;>O

Wonder if there is some way we all could boycott companies that move their companies overseas? Maybe we need to start looking at products and see who makes them. We all must make a point in buy USA products. I would love to do that. But why do they charge more for their products. Sometimes I can't afford to buy them and am forced to buy what I know is cheaper and I can afford.
The title is shocking, but it could be a reality, to China. Light manufacturing, you know, the manufacturing that used to be in the United States, moved to Japan in the 70s and 80s and ultimately found a home in China. Well those jobs aren't permanently there either. It turns out that China's rising labor costs are creating an environment not conducive to maximized profitability for multi-national corporations.
In a recent article by Reuters,
(Reuters) – Rising labor costs will push over 80 million Chinese jobs in light manufacturing abroad over the next three to five years, with African nations well placed to lure many of them their way, the World Bank said.
China's economic success and hunger for resources have helped boost African growth, but Ezekwesili cited a World Bank estimate that rising Chinese wages would lead to manufacturing firms going elsewhere, taking with them 83-85 million jobs.
"They are going to be looking to move — Africa is going to be an important destination for that," she told Reuters in an interview, calling on African countries to "step up their game" to improve the business environment to lure jobs their way.
"It will not only be China. At some point it will be a number of the emerging economies. They will move on and some of their own areas of previous advantage will need to move," she said on the margins of an AU summit in Equatorial Guinea.
Hold on a minute, why are manufacturing businesses going to leave China? WAGES? I thought it was regulation, taxes and an overbearing government that drove jobs away?
The conservatives have been telling the American people that if just deregulated, lowered taxes and just got the government out of the way of the free market all the jobs would come back to the U.S.A.
All along it has been Americans' wages and free trade that drove the businesses away. I am so surprised nobody has been saying that. Of course I am being sarcastic; LIBERALS have always and consistently been the protector of Americans' standard of living. Liberals have said, taxes are not the reason for the outsourcing of jobs, it's free market, free traders and ultimately greedy corporate shareholders that are responsible for it.
If the conservatives want to talk about HOW EXCEPTIONAL America is this FOURTH OF JULY, they better also talk about the American EXCEPTIONAL standard of living that has been under assault by the corporations and conservative free market, free traders who shipped our jobs overseas in search for cheaper labor.
EIGHTY MILLION JOBS will be lost, let that sink in.
Africa will be our children's "China" within the next generation if we don't change our economic policies and stop listening to the lies from the GOP leaders.
The Republican Party has never defended middle class wages. As wages went down for many of us, the GOP's solution wasn't to increase our standard of living, it was to reduce taxes on the wealthy and they will voluntarily share their profits with the workers. How has that worked out for the rest of us, seeing that 88% of income growth went to corporate profits and only 1% went to workers since 2009?

The family and love ones of Willie Noble would like to sincerely thank those who have prayed for ALL those affected by the tragedy that occurred in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday February15th, 2014.
Please continue your prayers.
The family and love ones of Willie Noble have joined together in an effort to support Willie's spiritual, emotional, and monetary needs. However we have exhausted most of our capital and other monetary resources, so has Willie and his wife.
Willie has worked all of his adult life maintaining good work ethics. Being a homeowner he provided stability for his wife and children.
His most recent employment in which he served as a supervisor, he was employed about 8 years, he accepted this job after the company he had been employed by for over eighteen years downsized. Consequently he was terminated February 24th, 2014. Since his termination Willie has been on multiple interviews including temporary agencies, where he hasn't had any luck as of yet.
Willie and his wife of 26 years have raised 4 children, and proud grandparents of 4 grandchildren, expecting their 5th grandchild this fall.
Many people have shared with Willie and his family they are sending up prayers for ALL those affected by this life altering tragedy and wanted to help him and his family. As a result, respectfully this has been set up for anyone wanting to make any much needed monetary donation.

I succeeded because we had a committed team of CarMax associates working round the clock to build our business. We found ready capital from healthy and flexible capital markets that allowed us to grow. We benefited from an effective national transportation infrastructure that let us move products from one market to another, and we had cooperation and assistance from federal, state, and local governments in providing clear rules of the road that let us plan and grow our business. By contrast, says Mr. Ligon, Mitt Romney, who headed up one of America's most successful equity firms, knows nothing about the economy and job creation. "[Romney] has said nothing that gives a businessman like me confidence that he knows how to move the economy forward." In fact, explains Mr. Ligon, "Romney economics look like fantasy economics to me. President Obama has shown he has the vision to support businesses and allow them to grow. He has shown he understands the need to invest to make this happen. Mitt Romney hasn't." Mr. Ligon is slated to speak Tuesday at the DNC Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Harley's Wide Glide dates back to the seventies. The new for 2010 bike retains the old-school low-rider looks of long, raked and wide-spaced forks (hence the name Wide Glide), skinny front wheel and minimalist bulk. But what makes the new bike far superior is it has modern handling and ride quality due to frame and suspension updates. The rest of ...
1584cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Another Harley staple aimed at riders with traditional tastes who are looking for a machine that's both comfortable and easy to handle. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider combines a low seat, mid-mounted foot controls and pull back bars for easy comfort. Like all 2007 Hogs it also benefits from the new 1558 engine, too.

Definitive Harley. If retro-style cruising is your thing, the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy has all the right bits in the right places, from the big Milwaukee V-twin motor to the characteristic disc wheels and even the badge on the tank. Not the most versatile or comfortable of Hogs, but the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy is almost certainly the best looking.

Need Good, Reasonably priced Restaurant in Sherman Oaks/Encino, etc.
My very friend wants to go to dinner this week. She suggested Cheesecake Factory or Macaroni Grill. Can't stand the crowds at either or the run-of-the-mill food. Max is my favorite but too pricy for her. I like to eat healthy. Any suggestions?
I live in Sherman Oaks, so here are my suggestions...
Il Tiramisu (Ventura Blvd. at Woodman)
Oliva (Van Nuys Blvd. just North of Ventura)
La Pergola (Ventura & Noble)
Cafe Cordiale
Cafe Bizou
Another is Le Frite. I'm a bit tired of it, but every time we take people there they like it quite a bit. I have heard good things about Le Petit Jacques, but have not been there yet myself.
re: drterry
I second Il Tiramisu and they only have a $5 corkage. For the ambiance & food the price is VEry reasonable.
re: drterry
I've been bored in Sherman Oaks too long. Oliva is just plain disappointingly bad, Bizou caters to the greyhaired, but is geneally good, but it's always the same, La Frite has had the same menu since '75 when all the servers wore black and I liked my hamburger smothered in garlic, Pergola is overpiced and not worth it, Cordiale doesn't rate. Stanley's, Mistrial,zen,Amore's,no big deal. I liked Fiore's but it's gone. Do I sound depressed? Don't get me started by going west to Encino. I do like Pace in Laurel Canyon, Tony's Mexican Grill, Hugo's sometimes and believe it or not, Mexicali, because it is loud and fun and if you ask they make the margaritas strong.
I think La Pergola is way over priced. I second La Frite and also suggest Spumoni, on the north side of Ventura, just west of Van Nuys Blvd.
I think if Max is too pricey for your friend, La Pergola would probably be too.
Cafe Cordiale may be a good bet. Le Petit Jacques is reasonable and quiet. Food is a good value. My daughter and son in law like Le Petit Bistro near Le Petit Jacques.
I've never tried it, but Simon's Cafe (Sepulveda, just south of Ventura) has received rave reviews for its Moroccan/Meditteranean food. I've been trying to find people to go there to try the lamb tagine and homemade Merguez sausages. It's close to the Galleria, where your friend seems to want to eat. Here's a link: http://www.simonscafe.com/ (it also has a 10% off coupon). And here's a recent thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...
On the same block is a new Italian restaurant, Cucina Bene. Someone posted a thread about a conversation with the chef that sounded promising. I don't know if anyone has reported on it, though. Here is a link regarding its opening: http://www.dailynews.com/dining/ci_41...
I second (or third) La Frite, where you can get a very good entree salad or chopped steak for the same price as a Cheesecake Factory entree. Spumoni also is a good option in your price point.
Stanley's is probably too obvious a choice, yet has good food, good prices, and serves good drinks.
Forget Cordiale period. The decor is like eating in a bad taste furniture store, and the food is its perfect compliment.
Oliva, Le Petit Restaurant, Taka sushi on Van Nuys across from Solleys, Pomodoro(while a chain, it is not bad and they serve beer and wine), definitely La Frite, Boneyard Bistro if you do not get carried away, and Senor Fred.
If you drive a little further down Ventura blvd. into Encino, you'll find Alcazar, a great Lebanese restaurant. Not just Mediterranean food like kabobs and falafal, there is an extensive menu of exotic <i>mezza</i> which are like Lebanese tapas. Spiced, meat filled pies, tartar, grilled meat and, of course, kababs. It's on the North side near or in a strip mall, but the entrance is right on Ventura.
re: digriz60
Alcazar is great. It's about a half-block east of Louise, on the north side of Ventura, in the Plaza Del Oro shopping center (if that's what it's still called) across from the Town Center shopping center. It's in the same center as Quincy's BBQ (avoid) and Hirosuke. Here's the Alcazar website with a lot of pictures of their menu items: www.al-cazar.com

Jul 16, 2012Now the summer is really beginning! I don't know how it does it but Breaking Bad gets better and better with every season.The acting stays magnificent and the directing and writing gets darker.In the last two scenes of last night's premiere I was afraid of Walt more than I was afraid of Gus,I think that's because it's kind of frightening the way he changed.Heisenberg is the king now! It's going to be a wild ride!… Expand
Jul 15, 2012Just terrific.
Breaking Bad still the best cinematic effort of 2000s, The acting in this premiere was beyond anything we have on cinema or television nowdays (see the genius of Jonathan Banks). The super-magnet scene was more than epic.
Jul 15, 2012The acting? Amazing. The screenplay? Outstanding. The twists, turns and nail-biting suspense that the show is known for? Yes ma'am. Breaking Bad is back, and it's better than ever.
Jul 16, 2012the first 4 mins killed it for me..amazing to say the least. the acting, suspense, the plot all indicates Breaking Bad is still the at its best, where other tv shows have fallen flat right at the end, breaking bad is not one of them.
Jul 15, 2012Breaking Bad is back, boys & girls. & it's better than ever. The cast is still superb, the suspense is still nail-biting, and the plot is filled with twists & turns. I can easily tell that this will be the best season yet. I can't wait to see what sort of trouble Walt & co. get into this time. I didn't want the premiere to end; It's gonna suck waiting until next Sunday for the next one. SUPERB!
Jul 16, 2012Season 5 is as good as it ever was and has the potential to out-do itself for the 5th consecutive time. The best way to watch it is to steer clear of spoilers, sit-back, and enjoy it, just as it deserves to be enjoyed.
Jul 15, 2012Unbelievable.
I was too septic by the overwhelming kind of reviews I´ve read to this show, so I started to watch it and, honesty, it´s the best TV show I´ve ever seen. Bryan Cranston is just superb in this role, with no flaws or overacting. Season 5 started as the BOOM we heard in the season 4 finale. It´s a marvel that surpass the greatness of The Sopranos and The Wire.
Jul 15, 2012Impressive.
I wasn´t expecting such a premiere. Fast, nervous, dark, tense and that leaves such a wild and wide plot chances to the future. Still the best show on television.
Jul 16, 2012The whole thing has been raised to a new level with season 5, which I didn't even think was possible. Walt is scarier and more watchable than ever. Just the best show on TV, period.
Jul 18, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The opening scene, like the past seasons of Breaking Bad rewards those who pay close attention to detail. The very first thing you see in the premiere of breaking bad is an older Walt celebrating his 52 birthday, which if we all remember is exactly how the very first episode in season 1 began with Walt celebrating his 50th birthday, eating eggs and making a big 50 with pieces of bacon. The more attention you pay to the show, the more you'll be rewarded. By far the best drama on television.… Expand
Jul 16, 2012this is the best show that will ever be....every season just gets better and better. the writing is perfect. the acting is perfect. who could possibly give this show a negative review?!?!
Jul 16, 2012Breaking Bad is back and as good as ever. The best acting I've seen on Tv or in movies, chocked full of symbolism, and one of the few shows nowadays that you have to pay attention to. Walter White has no one to put him down any longer so I think we'll become even more acquainted with Heisenberg than with past seasons.
Jul 16, 2012Never before has there been such a TV show (though Twin Peaks and the Sopranos came close). Breaking Bad was, is, and will continue to be an artistic marvel.
Aug 27, 2012I'm not sure how to put this into words, but Breaking Bad has become somewhat of an obsession of mine since I caught the 1st episode on Blu-ray several months ago. Every episode builds on the last and becomes more and more and MORE intense...something I haven't encountered in awhile. It's on par with 'LOST', 'Six Feet Under', and some of the best series television has ever aired. This is truly benchmark TV against which all others should be judged. The acting, the cinematography, the writing, all about as close to perfect as TV gets. Thank you Breaking Bad for making my rising cable bill actually worth it.… Expand
Jul 17, 2012Breaking Bad is back!
Breaking Bad is one of the best tv series of all time. Just amazing. Everything is prefect, the acting is very very good. Bryan Cranston is one of my favorite actors and he play amazing in this TV series. Just the best!!!
Jul 26, 2012I can't even began to describe, majorly, the acting and writing of Breaking Bad. Until the release of season five I simply thought that "it can't go better than this", but then i saw the first episode of season five, in the end I thought to my self that I had witness television history, pure 43 minutes of drama perfection.
Aug 12, 2012I'm gonna keep this short and simple:
Breaking bad is right now a legendary show; season 5 is just the cherry on top, an absolute masterpiece about the final decadence of human nature in extreme circumstances.
Jul 23, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There has been no show in television history as thrilling, or as interesting as Breaking Bad. Each season has built the tension in a plausible and intricately detailed way. I was a little worried by the season 5 opener. The caper slash buddy story with the humorous character at the junk yard stretched the series hard won credibility a bit too much. Whipping up an untraceable Uhaul truck and driving into a Police facility just days after a major incident seems a little too "A-Team" for my taste. I am reassured by the second season 5 episode "Madrigal". The thoughtful plotting, great acting, as well the traditional Breaking Bad attention to detail is what makes the series stand out. Mike is a complex, 3 dimensional character, neither all good or all bad. Glad to see him get more screen time. Walter's scene with Skyler was downright chilling.… Expand
Jul 25, 2012Arguably the greatest drama of the 21st century. Captivated by Vince Gilligan's amazing writing and Bryan Cranston's performance as drug kingpin Walter White, Breaking Bad has set the standard for what true quality television should be. And the best part? It's only gotten better and better as each season passes by, constantly having ourselves question the decisions Mr. White decides to make.
Jul 27, 2012With season 4's brilliance being such a tough act to follow, I was thrilled to see Season 5 keeping up the deep, dark intensity and gripping unpredictable plot that got so many of us addicted to this nailbiting series. Breaking Bad never fails to entertain to the max!
Jul 18, 2012Breaking Bad is absolutely the best show on television. Somehow Vince Gilligan and his team of writers still surprise us with the new directions this show takes, and the twist and turns they throw at us. No film trilogy, or television series in the past has ever been able to uphold such strong directing, acting and superb storytelling for so long. We are entering the first half of the final season of Breaking Bad and the future for this show has never looked better (and darker). It will be sad to see the show reach its finale but it has truly been a wild and unforgettable ride. Don't miss out on this amazing series. Breaking Bad is suspenseful, smart, and THRILLING!… Expand
Jul 25, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The realism that the director manages to create in every scene is simply outstanding, and I would never have imagined that a show could be capable of being this good. Trying to watch other good tv shows is now a futile exercise, they're just a letdown if you've watched any breaking bad recently. If any viewers can't get past the first few episodes and start to love each character then you are missing out on the best show ever made. Thoroughly rewarding, you will get emotional.… Expand
Jul 19, 2012Best show on television great writing,acting and excellent scripting It looks like its gonna be another wild ride this season .Magnets! Crazy .
Jul 26, 2012It's such a shame that this is Breaking Bad's final season. It is one of the best shows on TV,and if Bryan Cranston and his colleagues don't get a slew of Emmeys, I'll eat my hat. Shows this good usually have spin-offs, so it's possible we will see some of these characters again, although not all of them, of course. Many will probably be six feet under by the end of this season. How could it be otherwise?… Expand
Aug 25, 2013One of the best shows if not the best I've ever watched. We are up to season 5, and it's just amazing how this show can top itself season after season, episode after episode. With many shows in later seasons the usual trajectory is a slow fall into mediocrity, but not Breaking Bad at all. It seems fresh every time, and still unpredictable. You really don't know what direction the main characters are heading until you see it. I don't think I've ever called a TV show a masterpiece before, but I think this one is. It's a credit to Vince Gilligan, and all of the amazing actors and production team. Even the characters with small parts to play are cast wonderfully. There's strong dramatic scenes, some hilarious moments, some breathtaking stunts, and a great commentary on life in middle class America.… Expand
Aug 12, 2013Best show I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I've seen the entire series from season 1 to 5A multiple times and It gets better with every viewing. Solid writing, acting, and production. It will be remembered for years to come.
Aug 15, 2012I just love that Breaking Bad still has the chemistry of all the things that has made it such a great show. I am saddened that this will be the last season so hopefully we get another tv show as great as this one. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are flawless and as Bad-A$s as ever. The Writing, Directing, and the Story keeps you wanting more of Breaking Bad.
Aug 23, 2013The part two of the final season is very very engaging.. Because its reaping time for the character of wlater white for all the things that he has done The character has grown from a common man to a unimaginable persona that surprises you each time he is on screen. You are here for a treat because it's gonna end big and when it does be there to witness THE END.
Jul 18, 2012Perfect. I've learned to not predict where the show will go and to just enjoy the ride. The premiere was just that a crazy awesome roller coaster that fits exactly with the seasons before it.
Jul 27, 2012Most shows have a sucky finales. This one will have few great ones!. The show put me off in the first few episodes. But then it proved to be, extremely fun to watch. I couldn't get off the tv watching the episodes one after another until the end of season 4. Man I thought that was the season finale. 99% of the tv shows have amazingly bad finale. This one has a greatly satisfying one at season 4. So now I am very surprised to see season 5, but hey that is really hot.… Expand
Breaking Bad [is] a radical type of television, and also a very strange kind of must-watch: a show that you dread and crave at the same time.
Jul 16, 2012The season five premiere "Live Free or Die", more than maintains the series' record of excellence.
The arc of this character--series creator Vince Gilligan's invention of Walter White as a sick soul--is, it's clear now. one of the great narratives in Television histpory. [13 Jul 2012, p.62]

Step into the Fairy circle
As if Star Wars needed a fourth film, the trilogy is fine by itself and doesn't need any additional films. Next they'll be making the ewoks blink in the bluray re-release.
Let's all look at the bright side. Star Wars without Lucas.
After the fuck-ups that were prequel, I don't see how it could be any worse.
Why am I not surprised with all of this Star Wars bashing. -_-
It's starting to become a very touchy subject like Sonic and Transformers. Besides, Episodes VII, VIII, and XI were already planned years ago.
Since there are already dozens of stories about what happens after the movies, then unless Disney and Lucasfilm decide to adapt those into films - which sounds like that could be the case - a lot of hardcore SW fans (meaning EU fans) may or may not like this idea.
I don't know what to think, other than this has me curious, so I'll just wait until we have more info before making a judgement.

Disney what are you doing? Make a sequel to finding nemo or something |:< don't tarnish star wars!
Finding Nemo 2 (2016) - IMDb
I think people are ignoring the real problem here. The problem isn't Disney at all, it's Lucas.
I would suggest viewing this video. There's a lot of "interesting" quotes in there, but at 1:30 it gets even moreso. He (Lucas) have made story-treatments to next episodes. Moreover, they pretty much say that they're going to make more movies based on those, at least that's what I'm getting from it.
This is, for Star Wars fans, a catastrophe. I'm not very opposed to the notion of Disney actually making Star Wars movies, but if they're going to make them based on Lucas' scripsts, that's just horrible.
Lucas is greedy, and not only does he get a giant lump of money from this, but he also gets to shit on the franchise even further.
As a fan of the original trilogy, ...um what? Just because someone does share an opinion with you doesn't make them wrong, it just means that they see differently.

Cases of West Nile virus, measles and a stomach bug called cyclosporiasis have already made headlines in Tarrant County this year, and health officials are now grappling with a more common but still serious illness sweeping Texas and the nation: pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough.As of Wednesday, 413 pertussis cases have been reported in Tarrant County, the most in the state, according to Russell Jones, chief epidemiologist for the Tarrant County Public Health Department. "We're having more pertussis cases in Tarrant County than we have since the '60s or '70s. It doesn't get our attention like measles does as far as 'Oh, my gosh, we've got a case.' But it gets our attention," said Jones.Texas reported 1,885 pertussis cases Wednesday, up from 1,670 on Aug. 12, according to the Department of State Health Services.If the cases continue to be diagnosed and reported at the current rate Texas will report the highest number of whooping cough cases in 50 years, the state health agency said.The deaths of two infants have been attributed to the respiratory disease in Texas and as of Aug. 12, 13 percent of the cases have required hospitalization, said Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the state health department."Pertussis is a serious illness, particularly for very young children. For newborns it causes uncontrollable coughing and they can't get enough oxygen," he said."It's of biggest concern for very young children. Infants can't be vaccinated until they are two months old. That's why we are encouraging anyone around newborns — parents, family, doctors, nurses and other medical providers — to make sure they have a recent pertussis vaccine," Van Deusen said.The outbreak of what is also known as the "100-day cough" appears to be centered in North Texas. New numbers from other counties were not available late Wednesday but on Aug. 12, there had been 173 cases reported in Dallas County and 124 in Denton County, according to the state health department.Thirty-six of the Tarrant County cases have required hospitalization and of those 31 were 12 months old or younger, Jones said.There have also been 127 Tarrant cases involving children between the ages of 8 of 11, he said."The vaccination appears to be waning for the children in that age group. They are just before the normal vaccination booster age of 12," Jones said"The vaccination is very effective for the first few years. It prevents death and does something, but it's not perfect," he said.Highly contagious Whooping cough tends to be cyclical and the last big outbreak in Texas was in 2009 when 3,358 cases were reported, Van Deusen said.In 2010, 27,550 cases of pertussis were reported in the United States, but many more go undiagnosed and unreported, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That was the most cases reported in the country since 1959, when 40,000 cases were reported. In 2011, 18,719 cases were reported nationally.Worldwide, there are an estimated 30-50 million cases of pertussis and about 300,000 deaths per year, according to the CDC.The number of cases in Texas peaked in the mid-1940s at over 20,000. The rate dramatically declined after 1949 when a vaccine was introduced. The highly contagious disease was almost nonexistent in the state from the early 1970s until 2000 when the number of cases started to climb, according to state health department records.From 2000-2012, 43 deaths in Texas were attributed to pertussis, according to the state health agency. Most of the deaths occurred in infants under 1 year old and most of those were among children too young to be vaccinated.Dr. David Lar, a pediatrician and assistant professor of pediatrics at UNT Health Sciences Center in Fort Worth, said the spike in cases tracks with what he's seeing."In our practice alone, I could easily see two or three cases a week. I'm seeing a lot of school-aged children and some infants which is the population that is most vulnerable to pertussis," Lar said"I started to see the first cases in late spring and it has been steady since then," he said.Infants, first vaccinated at 2 months old, are adequately protected after the third dose of the vaccination which they will receive at their six-month checkup, Lar said. "In the first year we give three doses and then a fourth dose at 15 months and a fifth dose between 4 and 6 years old. That's the vaccination number required by public schools," Lar said.The state health department also recommends a booster shot when children are 12, Jones said, noting that the vaccine appears to wane and that many of the cases in Tarrant County involve children from 8 to 11 years old."We don't know why this is occurring. I think the vaccines we are using are not getting the job done," Lar said.Severe coughingPeople suffering from pertussis usually spread the disease through coughing or sneezing.The whooping cough starts with cold-like symptoms and a mild cough or fever. After one to two weeks, severe coughing can begin. "The coughing can be so strong, it often causes them to throw up afterward. They have coughing fits where they have trouble catching their breath so they will gasp at the end of the coughing attack — that's what the 'whooping' refers to," Lar said.The "whoop" is often nonexistent, and the infection is generally milder in teens and adults, especially among those who have been vaccinated, according to the state health department.Because pertussis appears to be just be a common cold in its early stages, the illness is often not diagnosed until severe coughing begins. Infected people are most contagious during this time, up to about two weeks after the cough begins.The coughing can last for up to 10 weeks or more, hence the name "100-day cough."The disease is usually treated with Azithromycin, commonly called a Z-Pak, which is a five-day course of antibiotics, Lar said.The success of the treatment depends on how early the illness is diagnosed."If you catch it during the first third of the illness, you can shorten the duration. If you wait too long then you are not going to benefit the patient but you can make them less contagious," Lar said.In the United States, the vaccine for infants and children is DTaP, a combination vaccine that protects against three diseases: diptheria, tetanus and pertussis, according to the state health department.Before 2005, the only booster available contained protection against tetanus and diphtheria and was recommended for teens and adults every 10 years.Today, there are boosters for pre-teens, teens and adults that contain protection from all three diseases."Just like with the measles outbreak, prevention is the best medicine for pertussis," Lar said.Jones has only been on the job since June, and the rash of disease outbreaks in Tarrant County has him feeling like he "jumped right into the fire.""Some people have said I'm cursed," said Jones, who spent the past 25 years with the state health department.

text: Sundays with Sherrod: 'Celebrating' 19 Awful Years by Jason Hart 1 Jan 2012 post a comment Share This: As we kick off 2012, we enter Sherrod Brown's second decade in Congress. Senator Brown (D-OH) served 7 terms in the House - starting in 1993 - before his 2006 election to the Senate. I'm 28, and Yale graduate Sherrod Brown has been peddling his blue-collar class warfare elixir in Washington since I was in 4th grade. Ranked as the leftmost senator in 2009 and 2010 by National Journal, Sherrod has a lifetime 7.77 rating from the American Conservative Union (ACU). What sort of 19-year voting history gives someone a record left of Dianne Feinstein and Harry Reid? Here are some of the lowlights of Sherrod Brown's first 6 years in Congress, accompanied by his ACU ratings: 1993: Sherrod voted for the Brady Bill, D.C. statehood, missile defense cuts, preventing employers from replacing strikers, and Clinton's "Emergency Stimulus" spending and tax hike package. He opposed school choice funding and missed a debt ceiling vote. ACU Rating: 9.00 1994: Sherrod voted for the assault weapons ban, a $30 billion Omnibus Crime Bill jammed with pork, and a motion to kill the House Post Office ethics investigation. ACU Rating: 14.00 1995: Sherrod voted for "family planning" funding ultimately given to Planned Parenthood, and for enforcement of vast EPA and FDA regulations. He voted against the partial-birth abortion ban, welfare reform, tax & domestic spending cuts, and the "Mexico City Policy" restricting U.S. dollars spent on abortion in foreign countries. ACU Rating: 32.00 1996: Sherrod voted to increase the minimum wage and in favor of killing school choice vouchers. He voted against the GOP budget, welfare reform, repealing the assault weapons ban, overriding Clinton's partial-birth abortion ban veto, and making English the official language of the U.S. government. ACU Rating: 0.00 1997: Sherrod voted for national education testing and B-2 bomber budget cuts. He voted against the Hyde Amendment, tax & domestic spending cuts, school choice, and converting federal housing programs into block grants. ACU Rating: 12.00 1998: Sherrod again supported national education testing, and voted to allow a minor to be transported across state lines by a non-parent for an abortion. He voted against tax cuts, the partial-birth abortion ban, D.C. school vouchers, opening impeachment hearings, and ending racial preferences. ACU Rating: 4.00 With a few commendable lapses, Sherrod Brown spent 1993-98 as a foe of fiscal prudence, the Second Amendment, and national defense. Sherrod was an equally consistent supporter of Big Labor, bigger central government, and the abortion lobby. Next week we'll look at Sherrod's record from 1999-2004 to see if the late '90s and early 2000s prompted any shift towards common sense. I hope my previous mention of his single-digit ACU rating doesn't wreck the surprise! Follow Jason on Twitter: @jasonahart

FORT WORTH — A plan to rob a man suspected of selling marijuana went horribly wrong and ended with the death of an aspiring law school student and the injury of three of his friends, prosecutors said Tuesday during the capital murder trial of one of the suspects.James Arthur Jones, 23, is the third suspect to be tried in the home-invasion style robbery and subsequent slaying of Kevan Dunlop, a 25-year-old Tuskegee University graduate who had aspirations of being an attorney, according to testimony. If Jones is convicted of the Jan. 6, 2011, slaying, he faces an automatic life prison sentence without parole. Jones and three accomplices went to the apartment believing the man who lived there was a marijuana salesman and planned to steal his money and drugs, prosecutor Robert Huseman told the jury during opening statements.The four suspects did not know that Dunlop and his three friends were playing video games in the apartment with the man, and that some of those friends grew up with the would-be robbers and could identify them, Huseman said.A gun went off, and "people start running everywhere," said Huseman, who is prosecuting the case along with Kevin Rousseau. Two of Dunlop's friends — Darius Hill and Michael Anthony McIntosh Dorsey — were critically wounded. Dunlop's third friend, Willie Woodard, jumped out of a second-story window to escape and broke his leg. Dunlop, who ran to a closet for protection, was shot at least three times, prosecutors said. Two of the suspects arrested in the case have been sentenced. Marquise Brooks, 23, is serving a life prison sentence without the possibility of parole after a conviction earlier this year on a capital murder charge. A second suspect, Floyd Dewayne Myles, 21, pleaded guilty to a murder charge and is serving a 35-year prison sentence in exchange for his testimony against the other co-defendants. A fourth suspect, Nathaniel Redic, 24, is awaiting trial, according to records from the Tarrant County district clerk's office. Testimony in the Jones trial will continue this week in state District Judge Robb Catalano's court.

The announcement yesterday drew incredulous reactions from some in Congress who wondered aloud why the Obama administration would bow out of a key element of the military strategy even as it was showing results. The administration is looking to NATO and others to take up the slack.

Visual Mind 220.127.116.11
Visual Mind is a utility designed to create maps and summaries for such situations to help you view the most important parts of your projects.
Break down your project into branches
Information is easier to follow when it is concentrated into smaller fragments, each with a central idea around which revolves everything else. Visual Mind enables you to extract the main points and ideas from your text and create branches for quick access and better visibility. Each branch connects to the rest of the project and can be customized with images, web links and spreadsheet data.
You can also assign priority levels to branches and organize their completion schedule. Pre-made map templates are also included, if you want to jump directly into action and skip the customization process. They can always be edited on the go though, so you are not stuck with the original template once you choose it.
Drag-and-drop elements between project branches
Visual Mind enables you to easily move information around the project by taking advantage of the integrated drag-and-drop capabilities. You can drag pictures, files and even entire branches to rearrange the map layout and improve accessibility.
The resulting projects can be exported to a variety of formats readable by anyone, without the need to have Visual Mind installed on their system. You can save your projects as basic TXT files, or choose between HTML, RTF and XML for more advanced formatting options.
Closing arguments
Mind maps can be extremely helpful to memorize and summarize large projects. Breaking the information down into smaller pieces gives you the freedom you need to select only the most important aspects.
Visual Mind offers a respectable amount of useful features suitable for almost every type of activity, including task planning, brainstorming or studying.

Musical Styles:
Listening to Gina Rene' speak is the next best thing to watching her sing. There's a quality of both sweetness and sauciness, and a genuine good humor about her, whether she is standing before a lively audience in a nightclub or sitting quietly in her own living room. As a performer she has the kind of voice that seems to celebrate it's source. When she is not singing, Ms Rene' seems Earthbound.Jazz singer Gina Rene' is comfortable behind the microphone, comfortable performing. Her irresistible blend of vocals, personality, and energy compressed into one body is enigmatic, and Savannah crowds are lucky to claim her as their own. Even in the world of jazz where performers are expected to have personality and charisma, Gina is a natural whose voice and rapport with the audience places her in a class by her self. Ike Carter, director of radio station WHCJ, 90.3 FM described Rene's stage presence as magnetic. "She reaches the audience." he said she works 'em. In Jazz this is as important as a good voice. She sparkles, even bubbles, just like champagne. She became a permanent fixture on the Jazz Scene, performing in 1994 with the Savannah Pops Orchestra, the Savannah Jazz Orchestra, The Savannah Jazz All Stars, Duke Ellington Birthday Tributes, The Savannah Jazz Festival Divas In Jazz concert, Three Divas & Dinner, And the Hilton Head Jazz Society concerts. And also the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics. In 1998 she Teamed up with Savannah Bassist Ben Tucker at Hard Hearted Hannahs, Hannahs East, The Marshall House Hotel, The Beluga Cafe in Atlanta and countless other venues. She has shared th Stage with countless Musicians including Teddy Adams, Doug Carn, Kevin Bales John Collianni, Gary Motley, Delbert Felik, Rene' Marie, Tierney Sutton, Alex Nguyen, Joe Jones. With her classy refined brand of Jazz and romantic soul Gina's gifted with a strong supple alto
Almost every jazz musician I know dreams about owning his or her own club. If I had my own place, I'd want it to be just like the Jazz Corner. It's one of the classiest, "grooviest" clubs in which I've had the pleasure of performing. (I'm still trying to figure out if it's a great jazz club that's also a first-class restaurant, or the other way around!)

The Grammy Award-Winning American songwriting legend returns to StageOne with his irreverent and rockin' collection of tunes. Comic and sad, smart-assed and sincere, Wainwright can turn on a single line. It's because of this witty, self-deprecating style — mixed with a current of easily understood sentimentality — that Loudon continues to grow his fan base in a remarkable career.
The smartly hilarious and always thrilling Loudon Wainwright III was tagged as one of the many "New Dylan" talents in the early '70s largely in part for his sincere, candid and witty lyrics. With his unflagging humor and brutally sharp wit, this American songwriting legend is not to be missed.

Microsoft Virtual WiFi: DHCP Problems
Hi there (again),
I'm having an issue with the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Adapter. Since I had to uninstall Connectify (it prevented my computer from entering standby or hibernation), I started to use the Virtual WiFi Function manually (netsh wlan start hostednetwork). It works absolutely wonderful with Windows 7 clients, it works well with Windows XP clients (slightly slower, but I guess that's normal), but it fails for my iPhone and other Apple mobile devices. I have no idea why, but I know that Connectify had the same issue and fixed it with version 2.0.
The iPhone connects to the network (showing a checkmark next to the network's name), but doesn't show the WiFi-Icon, and I cannot access the internet or local ressources.
This seems to be a DHCP problem, as manually setting an IP address, setting the Subnet to 255.255.255.0, and entering my laptop's IP-address as the Router and DNS server solves the problem (at least sometimes, it's not that reliable). But as I'm a perfectionist (and want others to be able to use my network), I really would like to see DHCP working there.
Is there anything that I could do to fix this problem?
Thank you so much for your help!
With kind regards,
Felix Freiberger

After struggling with all kinds of pond netting over the past 5 years, I bought this deluxe 20 x 20 netting at a spectacular price and I love it. It went over the pond w/o any problems and it's not rigid like the other netting. Leaves don't tend to stick to it as much either. I love it!!!

Danny's Joomla! 1.5 MVC Component Generator
Danny's Joomla! Component Generator PRO (=v2.0)
Coming Soon to a Browser Near You!
unlimited tables, a lot of different types of fields , validation, join tables, and more to come...
(First screenshots of PRO version is planned to be released mid octobre 2009)
(PRO version 2.0 alpha is planned to be released on 5 dec 2009)
(PRO version 2.0 beta is planned to be released on 30 jan 2010)
(PRO version 2.0 stable is planned to be released on 27 feb 2010)
The idea of this project is to create in a quick way a complete Joomla! 1.5 component with your own custom fields(varchar 255)
Version 0.7 generates:
- 1 Table linked with categories table (like weblink or contact component)
- Your custom fields ( varchar(255) )
- "standard" fieds: title, alias ,create (datetime), created_by, created_by_alias, modified(datetime), modified_by, checked out, checked_out_time, published, ordering, params, hits
- Administrator part which contains: Filter (search), select a category, select State published/unpublishe, create edit delete ...
- Fronted with 3 views : categories (all categories),category (all items in a category), item (detail page)
- breadcrumbs, title from menu, pagination,ordering,hits
- some parameters ( not finished)
- NEW IN 0.7 Download as a zip ( only when you register (free) and are logged in )
Version 0.8 (26 march 2009)
- created, created_by, modified, modified_by is used
- parameters
- parameters of your custom fields ( show yes/no)
- some format of source code (but not finished)
- Geshi/Print view on website. Now you can decorate your home with Joomla!code
- select all code on website, easy to copy/paste
version 0.8.1 (8 april 2009)
Changed in component/views/item/view.html.php
$params = &$this->getParams();
$params = &$mainframe->getParams();
How it works
- Think about the name of your component and the custom fields.
- Enter title of the component, your custom fields and a description.
- submit form
- Download the zip
- Install in Joomla! 1.5
Could it be easier? :)
download demo : com_myextension (as seen in v0.2)
download demo version 0.8 com_mycomponent (as seen in v0.8)
Proper Joomla hosting will make sure this Joomla component generator and other Joomla extensions run glitch free
