Lindsay Lohan lacks the charisma to be a convincing Elizabeth Taylor
BY LORI RACKL TV email@example.com November 22, 2012 9:34AM
Grant Bowler ("Richard Burton") and Lindsay Lohan ("Elizabeth Taylor") re-create the making of "Cleopatra" in the Lifetime Original Movie, Liz & Dick, premiering Sunday, November 25, at 9pm ET/PT on Lifetime.
8 p.m. Sunday on Lifetime
Article Extras
Updated: December 24, 2012 6:51AM
'Liz & Dick" airs Sunday on Lifetime, but many scenes would be a better fit for "Saturday Night Live."
The biopic about the tempestuous love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — hyperbolically dubbed "the television event of the year" by the cable network — isn't offensively bad. But it is by no means good.
This unassailable fact isn't likely to keep "Liz & Dick" from drawing lots of eyeballs, a fair share of which will no doubt belong to folks tuning in to see if this is indeed Lindsay Lohan's "highly anticipated comeback movie role" — more Lifetime hyperbole, given LiLo's middling performance.
The made-for-TV film follows the precipitous ups and downs of Taylor and Burton's relationship, which got off to a scandalous start in 1961 on the set of "Cleopatra." (In her Queen of the Nile get-up, Lohan looks more Kardashian than Taylor.)
Spliced in throughout the movie we see Taylor and Burton (Grant Bowler) seated on a dark stage, recalling their experiences through a series of flashbacks.
"You were everything I ever wanted," Burton says dramatically. "Even when you looked at me with utter disdain, I still thought you were just ... luscious."
These flashbacks make up the bulk of the 88-minute film that centers on the couple's booze-soaked, can't-keep-our-hands-off-each-other courtship and the first of their two failed marriages.
"These people loved each other and they drove each other crazy," said the movie's executive producer, Larry A. Thompson, who inherited his mother's fascination with the violet-eyed Oscar winner. He named his 10-year-old daughter Taylor after the legendary actress.
"In many ways, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton just lived outside the norm and had no rules," he said. "They lived a life of excess, whether it was drinking or spending."
Hedonistic recklessness isn't much of a stretch for Lohan, who's more famous for her antics off screen than on. The "Mean Girls" star proves that she can pout, get drunk and throw a bottle against a wall — something she does repeatedly in the movie. But Lohan, 26, isn't believable as Taylor. She doesn't come close to exuding the kind of larger-than-life presence befitting one of Hollywood's all-time biggest stars.
Lohan's uneven performance vacillates between being OK — even decent, in the tantrum scenes — to ringing hollow. New Zealand actor Grant Bowler's ("True Blood," "Ugly Betty") sometimes overly enthusiastic portrayal of the bombastic, belligerent Burton looks like an "SNL" parody when set against Lohan's dialing-it-in demeanor. At times it feels like Bowler and Lohan are in two different movies: one where he's compiling his Emmy highlight reel and another where she's wondering what to wear that night to the Viper Room.
Thompson said he cast Lohan because he thought she could bring "magic" to the role — as well as a fan base unfamiliar with the earlier era of Taylor, who died last year at the age of 79.
"A lot of young people today think Elizabeth Taylor is an old woman sitting in a wheelchair next to Michael Jackson, whereas our movie is about the young, vibrant, highest-paid movie star in the world, at the height of her beauty and her power," Thompson said.
"Liz & Dick" introduces us to Taylor at 29, already on her fourth marriage. She and her Welsh "Cleopatra" co-star embark on a highly public extramarital affair, earning them condemnation from the Vatican for "erotic vagrancy."
We watch the lovers booze and bicker their way through an impressive list of exotic locales: Monte Carlo, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, Botswana and Mexico, as well as New York and L.A. Their comings and goings are chronicled by swarms of paparazzi, which also trailed Lohan during the making of "Liz & Dick."
"There were paparazzi following us around, hanging out of trees, every day," Thompson said. "It was life imitating art, art imitating life."
Paparazzi proved to be just one of the occupational hazards of working with the former Disney kid.
"Producing a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart," Thompson said. "I turned 50 shades of white during the production."
Lohan's contract included "pages and pages of 'what if?' clauses" in case the actress got into a car accident (which she did) or violated her probation and landed back behind bars (which she still may). "She might be the most insured actress who ever walked on a soundstage," Thompson said.
"We did have a couple of incidents which forced us to readjust production," he added. "But overall, relative to the performance we got and the movie we were able to make because of her, the risk was worth the reward. The pain was worth the pleasure."
Taylor and Burton might say the same about their relationship — a relationship that, as salacious as it was a half-century ago, doesn't come across as all that shocking or monumental when seen through today's scandal-du-jour lens.
What that relationship does come across as in "Liz & Dick" is a largely dysfunctional partnership between two petulant, selfish people whose favorite pastime is trading insults and fat barbs.
"You could stand to lose a few pounds," Taylor tells Burton while sunbathing on the couple's yacht.
"Yes, but at least mine doesn't all pool in my fingers, Miss Pudgy Digits," he shoots back.
That hardly sounds like the couple described on Lifetime's website as sharing "an undeniable love greater than most people could ever dream of."
More Lifetime hyperbole.

Walker to attend events in Seattle, New York CitySeptember 3, 2013 @ 4:10 pm
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is headed to Seattle on Thursday and New York City later this month.
Walker will be attending a Sept. 23 fundraiser in New York City for the Republican National Committee along with three other potential 2016 presidential candidates. That event is being hosted by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Walker is scheduled to be joined at the fundraiser by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
The event Thursday is a fundraiser for the Washington Policy Center, a conservative think tank in that state.
Local union members and other activists in Seattle are scheduling a protest of Walker's appearance there, saying his "divisive anti-labor, job-killing, environment-damaging policies aren't welcome in Washington."

Goulash. Love the name. Sounds so mysterious, like something warriors in the Dark Ages would have wolfed down to make them strong before battle. I grew up eating my mum's goulash, and it was good. But, sadly, it wasn't actually goulash. It was chili. I only learned this years later, after I ordered goulash at a Hungarian restaurant in Wisconsin. What they served me looked nothing like chili, and everything like what you see above: A thick, meaty stew heavy on the paprika, served with little pasta dumplings on the side.
Making an authentic goulash is like running a gauntlet. There really is no one "authentic" goulash, as every Hungarian cook makes it her own way. Tomatoes? Green peppers? Verboten in some recipes, required in others. Sour cream? Typically only allowed as a tableside condiment, if at all — there is another dish, paprikash, that includes sour cream mixed into the stew itself. Vegetables? Sometimes, and most often carrots, parsnips and potatoes. Wine? Not usually. Stock. A little, if any. Beans? Hell, no!
After no small amount of research, the only constants I can determine are paprika and onions. Lots of onions and lots of paprika. More than you think you'd need.
As for the meat, beef is the most common I've seen, but as this is a wild food website, my goulash uses venison. Feel free to use any red meat here, from beef to bison to any form of venison; I used some pronghorn antelope given to me by a friend. If you are a vegetarian, I've seen mushroom goulash in Hungarian cookbooks, so use them instead.
What to serve your goulash with is also variable. Mashed, boiled or smashed potatoes are all common, as is spaetzle. This, I think, is an Austrian touch: Those of you who remember your history might recall that there was once this thing called the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Anyone care to guess who Franz Ferdinand and Gavrilo Princip were?
Since I wanted to make a Hungarian goulash, not the Austrian version (which also has sauerkraut in it) I went with the Hungarian version of spaetzle: a little pasta dumpling called csipetke (chip-ET-keh). Basically its an egg pasta dough pinched off into rough little noodley dumplings, which are either boiled in water or in the soup they go with. But because I made what the Hungarians called a porkolt — a really thick stew — you couldn't boil the dumplings in it, so I cooked them in salty water and served them alongside.
The key to my version of Hungarian goulash is time. Cooking venison requires patience… and a potato masher. You cook the stew slowly for hours and then, when the meat is thinking about falling apart, mash the whole shebang with a potato masher to combine. This integrates everything and prevents that dryness you can get in the center of stewed venison chunks.
As for the csipetke, if there is an easier pasta to make I'm not aware of it. You need no tools other than your hands.
This is a perfect hunting camp meal or easy Sunday dinner. All it asks of you is time, and it rewards you with a spicy, rich, meaty bowl of goodness that sticks to your ribs and makes you want to come back for seconds. Jó étvágyat!
hungarian venison goulash
This is a reasonably authentic Hungarian goulash recipe, albeit stripped down to its basics and made with venison. But hey, they hunt in Hungary, right? You will want fresh paprika for this recipe, meaning the stuff that has likely been sitting around in your pantry since the Jurassic Period won't cut it. Paprika needs to be bright red and smell wonderful. And if you don't want angry Hungarians beating down your door, buy Hungarian Paprika.
I used antelope stew meat here, but any stew meat will work: Deer, moose, caribou, bison, and yes, beef and lamb work fine. I suppose you could make this with muskrats or hares and jackrabbits, too, if you stew them a long time and then pull off all the meat.
Oh, and don't freak out about the huge amount of onions. They cook down.
Make the csipetke dumplings as the stew cooks; they only take an hour or so. Or just serve the goulash with mashed potatoes, pasta or even rice.
Serves 4-6.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup lard or sunflower oil
- 2 pounds venison stew meat, cut into chunks
- Salt
- 4-5 cups chopped onions
- 1/3 cup sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon hot paprika
- 2 teaspoons caraway seed, divided
- 2 cups venison or beef stock
- 2 cups water
- To make the csipetke dumplings, mix the dough together and knead until it's smooth, about 5 minutes. If the dough is really sticky, add more flour. You want a stiff, but pliable dough. Cover in plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour at room temperature. To make the dumplings, pinch off dime-sized little bits of the dough and flip them onto a well-floured surface. This can be done up to several hours ahead.
- Heat the lard over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or stewpot and brown the venison in batches. Salt the venison as it cooks. It will take 20 minutes or so for all the meat to brown. Remove the venison as it browns and set aside.
- Add all the onions and turn the heat to high. Saute the onions, stirring often, until they are browned. Add the venison back, then all the other ingredients except for 1 teaspoon of caraway seed. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for 3-5 hours, or until the meat wants to fall apart.
- To finish the dish, boil the csipetke dumplings for a few minutes in salty water, then drain and set aside. Use a potato masher to squash all the meat in the pot, then add the last teaspoon of caraway seed and mix well. Add salt if needed. Serve the goulash alongside the dumplings with some sour cream at the table to mix in.

Hello, Can anybody tell me what is the simplest, most effective way to turn pipelining off for POST requests? It seems to be causing problems. I wouldn't mind turning pipelining off completely, since my client doesn't download any 'inline' objects (e.g. images). Unfortunately I didn't find any specific info how to turn pipelining off (there are different #define-s in the code). Thanks, AttilaReceived on Thursday, 22 March 2001 12:59:51 GMT

Global Macro: Stocks Hit Record on Fundamentals
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For all of the speculative trading surrounding Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's statements these past few weeks, the markets on Thursday traded on fundamentals.
Unemployment numbers fell, beating expectations and proving that the labor market recovery is sustainable. Similarly, the Philadelphia Fed report for July hit its highest levels in two years. With the stronger economy, equity markets reached record highs.
The first chart below is of CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) over PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP).
The dollar has shown strength as investors continue to price in a September start to an end of monetary easing. Japanese elections, however, have led the yen to strengthen recently.Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has taken a strong reflationary stance on monetary policy, which has weakened the yen and strengthened the Nikkei index. Upper house elections take place on Sunday, which -- if Abe can pull out a victory -- would resume the reflationary stance in Japan. Until that time, the yen and Japanese assets should remain muted. The next chart is of United States Oil ETF (USO). Oil has similarly seen a strong rise recently as data have reinforced a move higher. Labor markets have been stronger and expectations for inflation have been revised upward. As equity markets hit new highs, oil has gained in lockstep. That fundamentals are driving the move is a bullish signal, considering the artificial nature of geopolitical risk. Geopolitical risk tends to be fleeting, and assets can collapse when the risk is removed from the market. The move in oil looks slightly overextended, and could pull back short term. But the outperformance of stocks in cyclical sectors and commodities is a bullish indicator for the U.S. The final chart is of iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT). Long Treasury bonds have underperformed recently as markets have begun to accept an end to quantitative easing. The downtrend remains very strong and the yield curve has continued to steepen as the long bond has sold off faster than short-term Treasuries.

Barn-Wood Dining Tablecomments (1) May 23rd, 2013 in Reader's Gallery
This table is built out of 100% solid white oak reclaimed from an old mule barn on our farm. The barn is around 100 years old so it makes for some interesting wood, cool spalting in areas. The Dimensions are 8'x4'x31"H. The top is composed of 8 boards, so to give it some overall rigidity I used 8x50mm slip tenons every 6" between the boards along with the usual glue. The legs are composed of 6"x 4" beams from the same barn, I milled them down to 5"X 3 5/8" then shaped them by hand with , low-angle, round-bottom, and convex spokeshaves. I kept the original mortise at the bottom of each leg along with the original wooden (spike?) I removed the tenon. Breadboard ends were a necessity as this guy is sure to show movement. Doweled snug in the center cut slots towards the ends. Aprons standard mortise and tenon. Secured the top to the base with wooden cutoffs I had left over. Secured the blocks next to the legs on the short aprons with slip tenons cut wide to allow for movement, then screwed to the top to the top. Used slip mortises (not cut wide) and slotted screws next to the legs for the long aprons. So yeah the domino really came in hand on this project. Attached horse hames to all four corners through back of the aprons secured by four dowels in each. On the top I preserved areas of the original patina which show the sawmarks from the water-powered sawmill. top and aprons all finish smoothed with emmerich improved #4, had to use cabinet scraper on some knots, also used emmerich scrub plane to give it some texture in places.

Economic Report
Global Manufacturing Update
By Chad Moutray, Chief Economist, National Association of Manufacturers
September 12, 2014 – Net exports have been a drag on the U.S. economy so far through the first half of this year, with manufacturers continuing to experience sluggish sales growth in international markets. With that said, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed a bit in July to its lowest level in six months, with growth in goods exports outpacing growth in goods imports. Petroleum trade accounted for a significant portion of the change in each, and in general, energy has helped to narrow the deficit from that of a couple years ago. Another positive note was the fact that each of the top-five trading partners for U.S.-manufactured goods experienced increases in manufactured goods exports year-to-date relative to the same time frame last year using non-seasonally adjusted data.
Along those lines, manufacturers worldwide saw modest growth, with a slight improvement from the month before. The J.P. Morgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose marginally, up from 52.4 in July to 52.6 in August. The good news is that this marks the 21st straight month of expanding activity globally; yet, it is also clear that the pace of growth has not changed much this year. Still, manufacturing activity in August expanded in 9 of the top 10 markets for U.S.-manufactured goods, an improvement from just five markets in May.
Nonetheless, the data also shows signs of softness, most notably in Europe and in China. Real GDP in the Eurozone fell 0.2% in the second quarter, with recent industrial production and retail sales data trending lower, as well. The Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI declined from 51.8 to 50.7, its lowest level since July 2013, when Europe was just emerging from its deep recession. Still, the economic health of various European nations varies widely, ranging from deteriorating activity in France to relatively robust growth in Ireland. For its part, the European Central Bank has once again lowered interest rates in hopes of spurring more economic activity and additional lending. With these actions and slow growth in Europe, the euro has depreciated against the dollar, down from a recent high of $1.3924 for one euro on May 6 to yesterday's close of $1.2921 on September 11.
Meanwhile Chinese manufacturers have reported expanding levels of activity for three straight months (June to August), which by itself is progress after starting the year with five months of contraction. However, the HSBC China Manufacturing PMI declined from 51.7 to 50.2, or just barely above neutral, with decelerating levels of new orders, output, and exports. Moreover, while real GDP in China picked up slightly from a year-over-year price of 7.4% in the first quarter to 7.5% in the second quarter, we expect to continue to see an easing in growth rates moving forward. We have also seen decelerating rates of growth—albeit still healthy ones by our standards—for industrial production, fixed asset investments, and retail sales. Slower growth in China has also helped to pull down overall manufacturing activity in the emerging markets.
U.S. trade talks continue this month with both Asia-Pacific nations and Europe, while the World Trade Organization seeks to move forward both trade facilitation and environmental goods discussions. Domestically, a range of trade and international financing legislation awaits action, including the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, whose charter expires on September 30.

How a $2 Purchase Has Saved Me $600…and Counting
It's nothing special, and it's certainly not high-tech. But a $2 binder has saved me over $600 in the last year alone. I use this binder to save receipts and warranty information for major purchases. It came in handy recently when our water heater started leaking. I immediately assumed we would have to spring for… Read More

IFCA Training Officers Division
Updated: 7/16/14
The mission of the Idaho Fire Chiefs Association, Training Division is to increase the level of public and emergency service provider safety through standardized, accountable, and accessible training and education
July 15, 2014
Fire Chiefs, Training Officers, and Educators of Idaho;
Representatives from the State Fire Marshal Office and Idaho Fire Service Instructors were recently invited to assist Fire Service Technology (FST) and Eastern Idaho Technical College (EITC) with IFSAC accreditation and to overhaul their policy manual. This team consisted of a mixture of individuals from career, combination, and volunteer agencies.
Several processes were changed in policy including instructor requirements, how to enter the IFSAC accreditation process, testing procedures, prerequisites, the revitalization of an advisory committee, and all test banks/skill sheets are in the process of being correlated to the 2013/14 NFPA standards. We believe EITC and FST will receive IFSAC accreditation early next year.
FST has a new website where you can find the updated IFSAC skill sheets, exam request forms, training request forms, policy manual, training calendars, and staff contact information. Some of the pages are still under construction. If you have not visited the new FST website, it can be found at www.fst.eitc.edu.
I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Dean Ellis-FST Program Manager and the rest of the staff for working with Idaho's Fire Service to provide a quality user friendly product.
Jason E. Blubaum
Training Division President
February 10, 2012
From TO Division President Dave Gates:
First, I would like to say the Fire Service in Idaho took a significant step forward in its relations with EST. If you haven't already heard at this week's EST Advisory Committee meeting EST agreed to remove the continuing education component and thus the need to recertify in order to maintain our IFSAC certificates. Yes you read it right there will no longer be a need to recertify, your certifications are now good for life. The following points were what helped moved EST in support of this decision.
1. There are no mandated(legislated) training requirements in the state of Idaho.
2. There is no real over site as it simply took a chief signing a document that their members had conducted the appropriate amount of training.
3. That it placed unnecessary and an unreasonable burden on the fire service and EST.
4. That Idaho was only 1 of 4 that currently had a CE component to maintain certification.
5. This would free up valuable time within EST for other more important functions.
6. Idaho is a poor rural state and should not be leading the nation in training demands.
7. All delegates of the committee unanimously agreed with removing the requirement.
Congratulations!!!! This is a huge win and I would like to personally thank Ann Stephens and Jim Hitch for their support and understanding in this matter.
Lastly, I have a request to move the next training division meeting from its normally scheduled March 2 @ 3pm MST to March 5 @ 3pm MST to accommodate an Officer Development Course taking place up North. This date and time works for me so unless I hear otherwise we will hold the next Training Division Meeting March 5, 2013 @ 3pm MST on Elluminate.

IFCA TO Division Strategic Plan, 2011-2013
Message from former TO Division President Gates:
"The Training Division completed its 2011-2013 Strategic Plan on January 20, 2011 in Boise. The divisions plan is in line with the clear guidance and direction received from the IFCA, during their Strategic Planning Meeting the same date. The division identified two clearly defined goals and one long range goal.
Goal 1: Establish a state-wide standardized knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) recommendation for Structural Firefighter, Wildland Firefighter, Driver Operator, Fire Instructor & Company Officer
The intent of goal 1 is to provide to each and every department in Idaho a check list of KSA that they can use to ensure each of their members is capable of performing safely within the scope and responsibility of their assigned positions.
Goal 2: Act as a fire service training subject matter expert in support of Emergency Service Training
The intent of goal 2 is to maintain support for an independent state-wide emergency service training platform while maintaining an active and involved role to guide the service in a direction that is beneficial to all departments across the state.
Goal 3: Recommend legislation and funding for standardized Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (KSA) for fire service positions necessary for safe operation. Long Range (5-10 years)
The intent of goal 3 is to ensure that all firefighter's in the state of Idaho receive appropriate and standardized training to maximize their safety during operations as well as facilitate effective interoperability between agencies.
I believe the Division has established several very achievable goals that support the over arching goals of the Division to ensure accessible, standardized and accountable training.
Lastly, I would like to remind all departments and agencies that our strength resides in our unity. Although we may not always have the same issues, problems or solutions we are not so unique not to find common ground. Your participation is paramount to the success of not only this organization but truly to your very own department. In this day of reduced funding and limited resources we must work smarter not hard. We must join our efforts, share our knowledge and work in a concerted effort if we are to survive."
"United we stand, Divided we fall"
Thank You,

ECE again ranks among top engineering programs
By Ann Rosentreter, ECE ILLINOIS
March 14, 2013
- The College of Engineering at Illinois was ranked fifth for overall engineering programs.
- Illinois was ranked fourth for graduate computer engineering.
- Illinois was ranked third for electrical/electronic/communications engineering.
U.S. News and World Report recently released its "2014 Best Graduate Schools" rankings, and Illinois's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department has maintained its position among the top programs in these disciplines.
According to the rankings, MIT and Stanford are tied as the top graduate schools for electrical/electronic/communications engineering. Illinois and the University of California, Berkeley, are tied for third.
MIT, Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon University claim the top three spots for computer engineering, with Illinois ranking fourth.
The College of Engineering at Illinois has also maintained its ranking from last year, tying for fifth with Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon University. MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology were the top four engineering graduate programs.
The methodology for determining the best engineering programs takes into consideration quality assessment, student selectivity, faculty resources, and research activity. The specialty rankings, such as those for electrical and computer engineering, are based only on peer evaluations made by the department heads of the specialty area.
For a listing of Engineering at Illinois rankings--from U.S. News and other national and international surveys--visit the college's rankings webpage.

There's a woman I'm looking for. Perhaps you know where she is. If you do, please help me find her again.
(Editor's note: This is the second installment of a three-part series. It is running over a five week period rather than three consecutive weeks.)
In those days - the ones of my cherished youth - my cousin, Ronnie, a year older than I, worked for my daddy. Ronnie had cotton-colored hair and a face that, like mine, was smattered with freckles. He had what the lucky ones on Daddy's side of the family inherit: a quick-thinking sense of humor that is succinct, clever and smart.
His name is Charles Almerin Tinker and he was the great-great-grandfather of my beloved.
It seems to me that a lot of young people have it easy. Too many kids in high school and college are shielded from work and not taught the importance of money or of earning it. It seems to me that this is a major default in the education of life.
Nicole and I were working out together one day and for some reason, she brought up a self-help, faith-related book we had both read. The thesis, basically, is how men are born with wild hearts, which should be admired not restrained by women.
There I was, sitting at my desk, writing away, bothering no one when my phone rang. It was Hollywood calling.
It all started with a break-in, then continued to a breaking point when a crazy woman showed up at my door, ranting about aliens who had landed at her house. She needed me to write an article to warn their commander not to send them back to her house.
It's a funny thing about us Southerners. If a Yankee criticizes us, we haughtily disregard it, muttering over their ignorance.
One night while out to dinner, I noticed an elegant elderly lady at the next table over who was dining alone. I was drawn to her because sorrow clouded her eyes and she smiled sadly, the kind we all force when we do not feel happy.
Not long ago, I was in Los Angeles visiting Tink on the set of a television show he was executive producing. We sat side-by-side in director chairs, watching as the scene was set up and actors took their place. I looked across Tink to see a woman studying me carefully. I smiled.
When I was growing up - probably well into my college years - Mama's last words as I walked out the door were always the same.
One evening I was sorting through clothes in the bedroom while Tink, settled in a comfortable chair, was (as usual) fiddling with his phone. A message he read triggered a story.
In this house of wood and stones that I call home, there are books scattered and stacked hither and yon.
When I breezed into the beauty shop amidst the chatter of voices and clatter of hair dryers and curling irons, I noticed the thick book dropped casually in a chair and it struck me as a bit strange.
Coming home one Sunday from the family dinner after church, I said out of the blue, "I feel like we should volunteer for vacation Bible school."
My people, as I have long said, were raised on hard times in the Appalachian foothills. I don't know I had a grandparent who ever saw the sum of $500 at one time or even held a hundred dollar bill in hand.
It was over Sunday dinner that my sister told me what I did not know.
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
My sister and I stood in the charred remains of a life that once was and did not say a word. What was there to say?
To be honest, I was more than a mite worried. I was plenty worried.
It often amazes me how many words of kindness and encouragement I receive for the stories I tell.
You may be surprised to learn people sometimes disagree with me.
Sometimes, I look across our yard and sigh somewhat woefully, "Too much of that stubborn red Georgia clay shines through." I think, "Oh, one day." I have been thinking this for six or seven years.
Hollywood, more often than not, gets it wrong about the South in movies and television. When they do get it right, we Southerners are amazed and appreciative.

"Unfettered," the tune: it's a fight song. It incorporates every story in the anthology of the same name. I wrote it to help a friend—to help anyone fighting cancer. And you can listen to it on Tor.com first.
The best answer to most questions is: Music. I'll illustrate with a story. When asked by Shawn Speakman to contribute a video describing my involvement in the Unfettered anthology—to help get the word out—I replied: How about I write a song instead. Besides writing fiction, I'm also a musician. And music hath charms.

About ProjectY
RELEASE DATE: Not Defined
STATUS: Phase 1...
SYSTEM(S): Mega Drive / Genesis, ++
It's ProjectY - the RPB you've been waiting for since the 90s! WIP @ 's Magical Game Factory.
Current Status (08/21/2014)The subscriptions for new investors has been locked down. However, current investors can still invest GEMS into the project.
The original intended release date has been missed but the game is still in steady development and will soon enter beta-testing phase. A new release date will be communicated soon, along with opening pre-orders.
Thank you for your patience.
The OriginsFor the first time ever, fans of retro consoles are getting exactly the game they want! And they want a RPB!
Investors, as they are called, have used their voting power to shape ProjectY to their own liking.
Their first poll result was to make a game for the Mega Drive/Genesis. Then came the decision to make the game a RPB (Beat 'em all, with elements of an RPG). The final big turn for the project was the setting, which the investors decided should be cyberpunk.
With these defining poll results, ProjectY started to take shape while additional minor polls followed. Development is currently ongoing; you can still join ProjectY and shape the game by voting, submitting your ideas and discussing the project on the boards!
40MEGObtained with fervor by the investors, we can guarantee the game will have a bare minimum 40 megabits cartridge. ProjectY is joining the small club of High Density Cartridges (also known as the "big, black cartridges"). This will be at least the second biggest Mega Drive/Genesis game ever, after WaterMelon's own Pier Solar! With this much storage at our disposal, we can make the ultimate 16-bit beat 'em all!
Also obtained by the investors, the game will feature four playable characters, one of them to be unlocked.
The ContextProjectY takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, set in an Asian high-tech metropolis. The last survivors of the nuclear war are divided into several classes, where the most powerful have the others by the balls. This has divided the governing bodies into several fractions, where ethnic mafias and a corrupt corporation are just a few of them! As you can see, this story is filled with many possible scenarios. It will demand lots of exploring and several playthroughs to get everything out of it.
Hello Visitor,
Subscriptions to that project have ended.
To invest in this project or view your current investment status, please sign-in or register.
Fonzie , 29/07/2013
Props to the SFX guys!
Project Y has now come to one of its most fun stages: the voice recording for sound effects!
(Huhg Eaaahhhhhh!)
Francis , 17/11 - 12:07
¡Que buena pinta pinta tiene este juego! Aún disfruto de Final Figth CD y Streets of Rage 2, de manera que tengo muchas ganas de poder tener este nuevo ProyectoY.
Viewpoint , 10/11 - 00:30
Looking foward to being able to purchase this title!
lsbtrindade , 18/10 - 00:54
Its a pitty that the subscriptions to support the project are closed. I wish you guys the best making this game, and I barely can wait to buy my cartridge. Are you guys thinking about release this game in modern plataforms like Playstation 3/4 and Xbox 360/One, just like Pier Solar?

Was it a gift?
Yeah, I think my mother bought it.
A few days later, I get a call from Stallone.
Mr. Stallone?
What's going on?
No, everything's fine. I just wanted to request that if you're gonna write anything about my mother, please make it neutral, because in our parents' minds, they think they're perfect.
I was intrigued by your memory of the cowboy hat.
Oh, I came up with something that's even more precious to me—a cardboard box that I've had since I'm 9 years old. And on this cardboard box is the first thing I ever drew.
What is that?
Believe it or not, a Masai warrior. I should have shown it to you. It was very detailed and exacting; you can see the savanna in the background, as this warrior, in full regalia, is coming over the hill holding a spear and a shield. And the design of the shield, it's very detailed, and I thought, God, it's the first thing I ever drew. I did it on a dry-cleaning box. I worked on it and worked on it, and I said, Finally I'm proud of something. I finally accomplished something artistically. Because, see, I'd always been considered this incorrigible menace. And my father comes home, and I wait for the proper moment after dinner, I said, "Look!" And I show him the box, on the back of which I've drawn the warrior. He looks at it and goes, "Where's the stuff that was in the box?" [laughing a little] But that was… There it is, in a nutshell.
Why a Masai warrior?
I was sitting at home, because I always spent a lot of time at home, and I wanted to impress my dad. I wanted to show that I am different than what he thinks I am. That I could actually do something worthwhile. That's what inspired me. So there was this album, a soundtrack, and there was a picture of this warrior. And I started to draw it, and I just nailed it. I thought, "Boy, he'll be really impressed." I drew the cover of his album that he loves so much, and all he says is, "Where's the stuff that was in the box?"
Maybe you should've said, "Where's the stuff that was in your heart?"
Yeah. I just wanted to pass that on to you.
But the mother thing's a real delicate matter.
Tell me about Edgar Allan Poe. You've been working on a Poe script forever. Why?
I was 21, and one day I went into the New York library and down into this cavernous space. The guard says, "It's a special writers section." I went in, and he says, "You might think this is interesting," and he pulled out a scroll by Poe. I started reading up on Poe and realized he is the epitome of the misunderstood artist. The more he remained true to himself, the worse it got. I went, "Wow." The other part that I related to—he was a young man who started with all this enthusiasm and originality, and in the end he was scorned for it. His dilemma was contemporary. He was hip well before his time.
So do you identify with him?
I do. I don't identify with his genius, because it's far beyond anything I could imagine. But it was like Rocky—he was just incredibly misunderstood. And eventually he gave up trying to find financial success and was just trying to find love. And I went, Jesus, what trauma! And I just related to all the pathos.
So you've written a script, right?
Yeah. I've written about ten scripts.
Do you think you'll ever do it?
I don't know if I could ever live up to the hype. Poe fanatics—I mean in an intellectual sense—they would tear me to pieces. My take is very simple: He's a misunderstood artist.
Are you a misunderstood artist?
Completely. Candidly? Yeah, and one of the reasons is, the subjects I've played, it's assumed that I am that person. And when I would try to be Sylvester Stallone, it threw people off. I was this enigma. A lot of actors were presented with wonderful projects, and they rose to the occasion. I had to write my own material. I didn't have a pedigree, like how De Niro came through Brian De Palma. With me it was, "Who? Where'd he come from?" I was this outsider. And in some way I still sort of am. I live here, but I've never felt comfortable. I wish I were. Or they've never felt comfortable. I've never quite blended. I used to say to my wife, "I would love just to be able to act and have wonderful scripts and wonderful directors." It just has never been my lot in life. It's always been do-it-yourself.
If you could tell people in Hollywood something that they don't understand about you, what would you tell them?
God, that's a tough one. These people don't understand: I am this person. But as I get older, it's all about what you do that really tells the truth. Words? Anyone can produce words. But actions…they really do speak louder than words. So I guess I am what you see. The art, the movies, the ideology in the films that I'm involved in, is really who I am. That's my philosophy. Even though I wallow in pessimism, in the end I'm optimistic. So it's that ongoing battle.
You're a romantic.
Yeah! There you are! Totally! People think I'm foreboding and—what would you say?—a physical presence that's intimidating.

Why ''Bambi'' is a top tearjerker
From the stillness of a doe and her newborn fawn to the fade-out, in which he watches over his own newborn offspring, ''Bambi'' enchantingly touches on all the important stages in the cycle of life. Most of what ''The Lion King'' got right, it got from ''Bambi.'' But few films can match this movie's visual beauty, or its depth of emotion.
KLEENEX MOMENT That day when ''Man'' enters the forest, wild things flee, a shot rings out -- and Bambi learns he'll never see his mother again. You witness this scene as a child and it stays with you forever.

Consumer Credit Quality May Fall
U.S. consumer credit dropped in May for the first time since November 2003, falling by 1.7 percent or $3 billion, the Federal Reserve said on Friday. Revolving credit, such as credit card debt, increased by 1.1 percent, but nonrevolving credit such as auto loans fell by 3.4 percent. Economists polled by MarketWatch were forecasting a rise of $3.5 billion.
The decline may be a function of diminished supply as the rise in short-term interest rates and tightening of home equity lending standards begin to take effect, Barron's Online reported. With those in financial trouble now forced to borrow at higher rates (and minimum payments poised to rise per the new bankruptcy law), the potential for a material erosion in credit quality -- one that would ricochet through the asset-backed securities market in which these payments were securitized -- is high and rising, Barron's warned.

Save the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at KCL King's College London
I have heard that due to the pressure on public finances in the UK and the subsequent effect upon higher education funding, it has been suggested that the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at King's College London may be broken up and its members and faculties dispersed to other departments within King's.
An online petition has been created to express our concern about this. The text of the petition is as follows. If you would like to add your name to the petition (it is a global list) please click here and follow the instructions.
To: Professor Richard Trainor, Principal, King's College London
We would like to express our deep concerns over the projected dismemberment of the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at King's College London. Although we recognise the need for King's to make savings, we fail to understand what long-term purpose is served by dismantling a department and allocating its members to two or more different units. Experience teaches that, when a subject area is dispersed around departments and faculties, it never gets priority and in the end loses its capacity and influence. It is only too likely that the university sector will experience further cuts and in such circumstances isolated specialities would be particularly vulnerable. The great strength of King's has always been that it is the only university in the UK to offer a combined programme in Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, thereby emphasising the importance of continuity through the centuries. The ideal of Hellenism in its broadest sense, for which King's stands, is reflected in its Centre for Hellenic Studies and in the Koraes chair. As dismantling the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies would mean the end of a long and rich tradition, we urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to reconsider your plans.

As a Canadian writer who had no access to any course of Byzantine Studies in Canada, for a literary project about St Demetrius of Thessalonica, I have been indebted to the work of scholars associated with the Department of Byzantine Studies at King's College. Moreover, over the course of the ten years this project consumed me, I have become aware of the accelerating international interest, among lay and professionals alike and especially among young people, in the history, culture, politics, legacy etc of Byzantium. To disband the King's College Department at this time is, to say the least, inopportune. It would represent an enormous disservice to those are coming into the field.

Knowing when to judge
Fantasy football update
|Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton leaves the field after the Bengals defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-10 in an NFL football game, Monday, Sept. 16, 2013, in Cincinnati. (AP Photo/David Kohl)
Fantasy owners need to stop using hindsight to judge their weekly lineup decisions. The results are all over Twitter and other social networks on Mondays and Tuesdays, a common refrain of "I should have started (Player X) over (Player Y)."
Among actual should-have-started comparisons on social media this week: E.J. Manuel over Russell Wilson. Matt Schaub over Tom Brady. Knowshon Moreno over Ray Rice. Eddie Royal over everyone.
Yes, in each case, the first player outscored the second under standard fantasy scoring settings during Week 2. But that doesn't mean it would have been smart to bet on it ahead of time.
By that logic, you should have started running backs Rashard Mendenhall or Bilal Powell in Week 2 over Stevan Ridley, Frank Gore, Maurice Jones-Drew and David Wilson. Or wide receivers Royal and DeSean Jackson over Demaryius Thomas, A.J. Green or Larry Fitzgerald.
A common lesson in poker and other games — it applies in many areas of life, frankly — is to judge decisions based on the circumstances when the decision was made. Not on how things turn out afterward.
Not knowing outcomes is precisely why you spread your risk and expect average performances out of your players. Each week, you know you need as many ways to win as possible and, of course, some luck.
It doesn't help that some fantasy platforms, like Yahoo and Fleaflicker, have features that judge fantasy owners based on who was left on the bench.
After two weeks filled with unexpected outcomes, it's a sure bet you'll see more this season. But instead of griping that you should have started one player over another, ask yourself if you should have seen the better performance coming.
It's understandable: You need to make room on your roster for hot waiver-wire pickups like Green Bay running back James Starks and San Diego's Royal, the top fantasy wide receiver through two games this season.
But the other part of finding good players to pick up is making smart drops and keeping an eye on where opponents may be dropping players with value.
Here are some names to look for as you're reviewing the transaction logs:
QB: Andy Dalton, Cincinnati. Dalton is among the most dropped quarterbacks on Yahoo and ESPN thanks to an unexciting, middling start in games against Chicago and Pittsburgh. That's fine if you want to take a shot on Philip Rivers keeping up his production or if Dalton is a bench player and you need the roster room. But Dalton had a run last year of scoring 20 or more fantasy points in seven of 10 games. You're less likely to see a high volume of transactions at quarterback than at other positions, especially so early in the year, but Dalton is good enough to fill in on a bye week or back up a riskier player.
RB: David Wilson, New York Giants. It's almost inexplicable to see Wilson listed as the 11th most dropped running back among Yahoo players, especially considering Vick Ballard and Shane Vereen are almost no-brainer drops because of injuries. Owners are justifiably frustrated with Wilson, who was drafted around the fifth round in Yahoo's 10- and 12-team leagues. He fumbled twice in Week 1 and totaled 36 rushing yards in his two games. But owners who give up on him now with an outright drop are saying he has zero value, which simply isn't true in pretty much every league.
WR: Josh Gordon, Cleveland. Gordon should not be available in your league, even with Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden hurt with a sprained thumb. Gordon will be back after serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy, but has more potential than popular pickups like Royal, Brian Hartline and DeAndre Hopkins.
TE: Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati. Like quarterbacks in most standard leagues, tight ends are fairly straightforward to manage because you only start one. But Gresham has had 14 targets through two games, more than Owen Daniels, Kyle Rudolph or Garrett Graham. He has 101 yards receiving and would be a top-15 tight end right now if he had at least one touchdown.
ESPN senior fantasy analyst Matthew Berry is used to getting questions from fantasy owners, most commonly about NFL players who are outperforming expectations or who aren't living up to their expected production.
In figuring out what the performances mean for lineups and roster moves, Berry says owners have to go beyond bottom-line numbers.
"The question you need to ask yourself is why did this happen," Berry said.
Berry said everything from usage, touchdowns and defensive schemes play into answering that and making future predictions.
"There's a million factors that go into it and then you hope for the best," said Berry, who made the New York Times best-seller list in August with "Fantasy Life," a book about the wacky depths of the fantasy world.
Berry said owners looking for expert advice should remember that ultimately, nobody cares more about their team than they do.
"I can't tell the future — I've never claimed to. No one can. It's just a matter of putting yourself in the best position to win," he said.
"Think about what's most likely to happen and play the odds. Do that."
My Week 2 record: 0-5 in mostly tight matchups. Anyone know a good fantasy therapist?

Mersey Tigers' miserable BBL Championship campaign continued as they suffered a 12th straight defeat, going down 92-65 to Cheshire Phoenix.
Chris Bigley poured in a game-high 25 points for the bottom-of-the-table Tigers, but 20+ contributions from Alif Bland (22), Jerome Gumbs (22) and Gabriele Haskins (21) saw the Phoenix romp to victory.
Also tonight, the Glasgow Rocks overcame the Manchester Giants 83-77. Donald Robinson's 25-point haul proved decisive for the Rocks, with 21 points from Devan Bailey not enough for the Giants.

Killzone: Mercenary fans will be happy to hear that a new trailer has been released for the game as well as some updated release date information, additionally the pre-order bonuses for the game have been detailed. Check out the trailer embedded above as well as all the info below.
The new release date for the game is now September 10 in the US, presumably this is to get it out of the way of GTA V, which will presumably dominate everything for a few weeks. Europe will be getting the game on September 4 and the UK on September 6.
The pre-order bonuses have been revealed also, check out the details below provided by the Playstation Blog.
"Players who pre-order Killzone: Mercenary will receive "Blackjack's Briefcase," a reward for their early support that affords them an early edge in both the game's competitive online multiplayer and extensive Campaign mode." Bonuses are:
With E3 a few weeks away hopefully there will be some good news for the Vita, it's been a bit barren for the system since launch and hopefully people who have it will have something else to look forward to apart from this game. Come on Sony, give the Vita some love.

Future of E-Mail
Via Yahoo News (Via RSS!):
"In the next five years, e-mail will encompass everything from brawnier publishing skills and rights management to compliance tools and identity management. Mailing lists, for example, which have been around for years--albeit typically run as separate applications on servers--will give way to services that better resemble Web publishing. "Clients will include richer subscription management tools," he predicted, and offer ways to move e-mail content, including attached files, to Web logs--known as blogs--for up-to-date posting of internal enterprise information."
I have seen the shift in my own news and info gathering from mailing lists for library stuff to blog environments (like Library Stuff, Jenny's Shifted blog and the Free Range Librarian) as well as the shift to more chat based conversations or messaging. I've fired off an IM to Steven or Blake and know they'll see it when they get back or have time respond. Pretty cool.
Future thoughts: I'd like to see SJCPL use IM for some types of communication -- maybe to support staff in IT or to my office and software support/training issues from various public desks and offices.I'll let you know.
