Earthquake shakes PNG city
Liam Fox, PNG correspondent
Last Updated:
A magnitude 6.8 earthquake that struck off Lae, Papua New Guinea, rocked the ground in the country's second largest city, residents say.
It occurred just after 5pm on Tuesday.
The US Geological survey says its epicentre was in the Bismarck Sea, 140 kilometres north of Lae.
Lae hotel manager Jason Andersen says it felt like two short, sharp quakes.
"Furniture was moving, windows were shaking, doors were banging bang, bang, bang," Mr Andersen said.
Felt in capital
"A few people came out of their rooms a little bit concerned.
"But apart from that there was no damage or anything like that."
On social media people said they felt the quake as far away as the capital, Port Moresby, 300 kilometres south of Lae.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre says it did not generate a destructive tsunami.
Earlier, politicians and children ran in to the streets after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Tuesday afternoon.
People ran in fear from Aceh province's parliament after the quake hit 80 kilometres south-west of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.
Arif Achir, of Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency, said there was no tsunami threat or immediate reports of damage.
An AFP correspondent said the quake lasted around 45 seconds, sending people running from parliament and children from classrooms.
Aceh province was shaken last Wednesday by two huge earthquakes that triggered an Indian Ocean-wide tsunami alert.

When Los Angeles-based TV producer Michael Levitt isn't creating hit shows, he's driving all over greater L.A. rescuing dogs from kill shelters and placing them in loving "forever" homes. Now taking his passion one giant leap further, Levitt has created a groundbreaking TV event.
Nine years ago, one of our executives who happens to be a marketing genius, walked into my office with an idea that I thought was completely crazy. He said we should try to get Betty White to be a spokesperson for our company. How do we even get a meeting, I asked? How could we afford her?
Let's take a moment to celebrate some women who have certainly impacted my life, and probably yours as well. So, in addition to celebrating our mothers, here are some amazing women who deserve thanks. After all, they created entire movements and changed the world as we know it.
"We're The Judds of comedy," says Saturday Night Live comedy legend, Laraine Newman. "We're the Redgraves of comedy," adds Laraine's Emmy Award-winning sister, Tracy Newman with a laugh.

Hillary Clinton has proven she's profoundly qualified to run for president, both physically and politically, and as a woman-of-a-certain-age myself, I find the discussion of age as it relates to her ability to do anything patently offensive.
There's a graveyard in my basement. The lower level of my house is the final resting place for dead and discarded kitchen appliances: those innovative, time-saving, cunning devices you buy in a flurry of anticipation and eagerness, convinced they'll transform you into a domestic goddess.
The gals return with all-new "episodes." Before the world insisted on Facebook friends, we settled for quality one-on-one time. Or, at the very le...
"In television terms, one Betty White covers the entire demographic of seventy to a hundred and three. I think funny is funny and interesting is interesting."
The beloved 91-year-old comedian Betty White has a new starring role in Air New Zealand's latest in-flight safety video. I don't think it's one of her finest performances.
You know how doctors have such a hard time at social events because there's always someone coming up for a free back pain consultation? Well, that's me at my mom's cocktail parties, except the questioners are all ladies of a certain age, and the subject ain't back pain.
Cloris Leachman is living proof that, like fine wine -- cheese, too? -- age just makes everything a bit more delicious.
This is a pivotal moment in the fight to save wild horses and burros in the West. Science is now firmly on the side of those who want the wild horses managed in the wild, not removed en masse from their homes on the range.

We're back in Philip K. Dick pulp-sci-fi territory in Paycheck, questioning definitions of reality, selfhood, and human autonomy in a futuristic machine-assisted age of mind messing. (''Blade Runner,'' ''Total Recall,'' and ''Minority Report'' hail from the same frontier.) We're also back in John Woo territory, or at least in the Hong Kong director's steely, impersonal semblance of his own famous style, in which moments of existential import are marked with a flapping of dove wings, a crossing of weapons, and a choreography of action tied to an appreciation of moral crisis.
Mostly, though, we're in a confounding, deep-winter movie twilight in which every image instantly vanishes from our memory. The story tells of a sharky tech genius, Michael Jennings (Ben Affleck), who regularly hires himself out to steal the inventions of competing companies, then glibly submits his brain to a neo-Frankensteinian neural scouring that erases all consciousness of the dirty work he has done. (Paul Giamatti plays a backroom scrubber with more soul and scruples than the rest of his colleagues, made manifest in his little loser beard and squashy Woody Allen hat.) A yuppie of the dotcom-boom variety, Michael is in it for the bucks -- the title refers to the only aspect of the deal that interests him, signified early on, anachronistically, with the passing of a paper check, so early 20th century, to the freelancer.
And when an equally lizardy pal, Jimmy Rethrick (Aaron Eckhart), offers a jumbo payoff for a particularly dangerous, change-the-world project, Michael coolly signs on. Except that when he signs out, three years later, he finds he has forfeited his eight-figure payment for an envelope filled with doodads -- a paper clip, a matchbook, a crossword puzzle, etc. -- assembled to point him in the direction of a tomorrow he can't remember seeing but which, clearly, he must stop before he himself is terminated.
Also, by the by, Michael has acquired a girlfriend, Rachel (Uma Thurman), a company biologist (growing hydroponic magic beans, for all we can tell) who loves her hunkalunka guy more than even the coolest Titanium G4 laptop a design-conscious futurist can covet. And that's a lot.
Were ''Paycheck'''s blankness presented more convincingly as a brilliant scheme to echo Dick's story (adapted by screenwriter Dean Georgaris), the movie would qualify as a marvel -- the first of its kind to scientifically erase audience memory in aid of repeat ticket sales. But nothing in the sleek, affectless unspooling suggests such genius. Instead, the director's well-tuned, assembly-line approach reflects the limitations the project held for him -- Woo took the job in place of Brett Ratner -- as well as the restrictions imposed by the alloy-metal composition of the cast.
The icy fire that Thurman uncovered within herself in ''Kill Bill'' is sealed over by the triteness of her job as a kind of ethics Tinker Bell, keeping her dazed man on the heroic path of good conscience. And as for Affleck and Eckhart, rarely have two cleft chins faced off with such thrust -- or absence of consequence. The actors' instincts to take the roles were good ones, since both come most alive playing men whose handsomeness covers reserves of nastiness. But with no punch left in this repetition of the sci-fi mantra that puny human memory is what makes us human, those jaws read like nothing more than cartoon Woo weapons themselves.

Réseau Expert Suisse Troubles Alimentaires (RESTA)
Partner Organization since September 2011
The "Experten-Netzwerk Essstörungen Schweiz" (ENES) is a non-profit organization, founded in 2001. It represents 300 members throughout Switzerland such as physicians, general practitioners, psychotherapists, nutrition consultants and other professionals in private practice. It also represents specialized institutions charged with the treatment, research and prevention of eating disorders and obesity of children, adolescents and adults. The steering committee of ENES consists of 5 members and manages the activities of the network according to its particular objectives. Members meet once a year, although several task forces get together more frequently. Every second year an expert conference is attended by people from all over Switzerland interested in the topic of eating disorders. ENES works in cooperation with other organizations including the DGESS (German Society for Eating Disorders). The homepage (www.netzwerk-essstoerungen.ch) was established by the ENES and financed by the Ministry for Education and Science in Bern (BBW). It is continuously updated. ENES is financially supported by membership fees and donations from sponsors.

Eating Disorders Section of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (EDSECT)
Affiliate Organization since January 2012
The Eating Disorder Section of the Royal College of Psychiatrists was born in June 2007 under the leadership of Professor Ulrike Schmidt, developing from a Special Interest Group inaugurated in 1995 with Professor Russell as its first Chair.
It brings together eating disorder psychiatrists working in the field across the United Kingdom and set standards for clinical services and training. We have a lively conference programme supported by bursaries for trainees, and our various policies are given greater weights by close collaboration with BEAT, the UK's Eating Disorder Association.
We embrace affiliation with AED, as voices raised in unison and harmony are powerful indeed.

Inbound marketing through the creation of relevant, useful content is quickly becoming the primary SEO tool to drive more organic search traffic to your site.
However, developing content that will rank and drive traffic can be a hit-or-miss affair. There is no guarantee that a piece of content you write will rank highly enough to make the effort worthwhile.
The good news is that people are already asking questions on search engines and coming to your site for answers. Rather than start from scratch, why not make sure your content meets the needs of this existing traffic?

The United States Federal Reserve banking system is broken up into 12 districts or regions, each of which is overseen by a regional bank. Don't ask me how but I was recently looking at the websites for these banks.
As I did so, I started thinking about navigation design. I am always interested in the similarities and differences in the way that different people organize information that covers the same subject matter.
Whether it is the grouping of information on a home page or the ordering of links in a main navigation bar, it is fascinating to see what conventions are followed and (for better or worse) where these trends are ignored.

A recent article by the Nielsen Norman Group — 3 Tips for Better Product Descriptions on Websites — got me thinking about product content. In particular, I want to talk about the first tip the author provides — 'answer questions.'
As a retailer of video security products, I am often surprised by how little information some competitor websites provide about the products they sell.

I'm currently working on a 'customers' page for one of my websites. In researching layout and presentation ideas, I came across many examples of creative ways to approach the design of this page, other than laying out a bunch of logos in a grid (although there were plenty of these).

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

Report a Problem With A Review
of McSorley's Old Ale House - New York , NY
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for McSorley's Old Ale House, which says:
"I hesitate to even post a comment as mine is negative. I recommend one read other comments and visit this place based on theirs. I think I caught them on an off night. They were out of their brewpub beers which greatly disappointed me. The waitress forgot to order both of my beers until I reminded her after a long, patient wait (and I was thirsty too); I had trouble getting water for my wife. On the positive side I was entertained by a young lady at the bar who belted out her rendition of a song so off key that it was hilarious. I would definitely give this place another try. It looked fun, was smoke free, and perhaps if I showed up before midnight there would be some pub-brewed beer left for me!"

A list (with pictures) of some of the times Apple didn't get it right. Of course, the definition of not getting something right is often in the eye of the beholder (or user), and items like the Newton, Apple IIc and Lisa (all of which I've used) all contained elements that contributed to better designs in the future (for Apple and its competitors). I think the MacBook Air might be in this category of a niche-product that helps stimulate all sorts of developments down the line, independent of how successful a system it is in its own right.

Word 2008 and pasting plain text
Useful article (with AppleScript snippet) for adding some helpful functionality to Word 2008 for Mac for pasting plain text into a document. Pasting plain text is something I do fairly frequently, so I've filed this link away for the possible time I have to use Word 2008. See TidBITS Problem Solving: Word 2008 and the Paste Plain Text Dance.
Mac OS X Applications for Bloggers
Problogger, Darren Rowse, publishes his list of useful blogging tools for Mac OS X. I use (or have tried many of them) – Ecto (article editor which I have on both Mac and Windows), CyberDuck (FTP client), ImageWell (for quick manipulation and posting of images) and Firefox. I prefer TextWrangler over TextEdit though (I used BBEdit Lite from way back)
The full list is at 14 Essential Mac OS X Applications for Bloggers
There's no standalone newsreader application in there though because he uses Google Reader to do that. See Greenflame · NetNewsWire (Free now!) for my preference there. I used the Sage plug-in for Firefox for ages, as well as Bloglines, but I really like having one app that does a single job well, but can talk to other apps if need be.
MS Word's native bibliography/citation handling?
Both MS Word 2007 (Windows) and MS Word 2008 (Mac) claim to have citation and bibliographic features for writers who need that support – though with a limited set of bibliographic styles. Does anyone have any experience working with them or compared them to a third-party add-on like Endnote? If you only used the supplied styles could you do away with EndNote (and the perennial compatibility problems whenever the OS, word processor or EndNote gets updated)?
- Create a bibliography – Word – Microsoft Office Online (Word 2007).

MS Office related links
A couple of links relating to the ubiquitous Microsoft Office.
Firstly, a look at how the new versions of Office for Mac and Windows compare over at How Does MS Office for Mac Compare to Office for Windows?
And secondly, a link through to an article that notes that the recent Service Pack 3 for MS Office (for Windows) will disable Office's ability to open a number of different legacy file formats. Not good if you have a set of older documents that you open occasionally or are maintaining for archive purposes. You can 'undo' the effects of this 'upgrade' but it involves Windows Registry hacking (yuck). Or you could install OpenOffice to access some of the older formats. See Microsoft Office Drops Support For Older File Formats | Compiler from Wired.com.
I can see an increasing need to have several different virtual machines on one's computer that allow the booting into legacy operating systems and running of older versions of software – sort of like RLP here post-switch to Mac OS X.
NetNewsWire (Free now!)
I use NetNewsWire Lite to keep up with my blog feeds, though I've never felt the need to upgrade to the full version. Now, however, the full version of NetNewsWire is being released for free as its developer focuses upon growing their online services. So, if you you're running Mac OS X 10.4 or later you can grab the latest version and take it for a spin.
More information at: RSS Reader for Mac – NetNewsWire
Hat tip to: TidBITS Networking: NewsGator Turns NetNewsWire Loose for Free
(Of course, I'm still stuck in 10.3.9 for the foreseeable future [anyone want to donate me a MacBook?:-)] and will be plodding along with the old Lite version just fine.)
I like databases, which means that when I see that there's a new iTunes-style interface database, Bento, coming out for the Mac (by the same developers as FileMaker (Thanks, Matt)) I'll sit up and pay attention. See Bento: Mac's New Database App Is iTunes for Control Freaks:
It's only available for Mac OS X 10.5, but there's a preview (Alpha? Beta?) available at Meet Bento
I really, really hope it works well, though the reviewer at TidBITS Home Macs: FileMaker's Bento: Undercooked and Slightly Fishy is less convinced.
Now, if someone could bolt a Leopard interface on top of MySQL and make it as easy to use as iTunes then that'd be cool.
Matt also notes in the comments that SQLite is lurking as part of Mac OS X 10.4 (see here).
The Cult of the Mac
As a Protestant Mac user working part-time at a Catholic theological college where everyone uses Windows PCs I found last Thursday's technology section on Radio New Zealand National : Nine to Noon (Thu, 25 October) fairly amusing.
You can find the full transcript over at it.gen.nz » The Cult of the Mac, and at the end of it Colin Jackson quotes a chunk of Umberto Eco's 1994 article The Holy War: Mac vs. DOS in which Eco comments:
The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counter-reformist and has been influenced by the ratio studiorum of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, friendly, conciliatory; it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reach — if not the kingdom of Heaven — the moment in which their document is printed. It is catechistic: The essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a right to salvation.
DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea that not all can achieve salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: Far away from the baroque community of revelers, the user is closed within the loneliness of his own inner torment.
(Windows is, Eco argues, like the Anglican church, at times appearing Catholic but also in places deep down quite Protestant).
New Zealand 2007 daylight savings update for Mac OS X
The new daylight savings dates for New Zealand got missed out by Apple in their updates so here's a link to a page with updates on it for the new DST information. DST starts this weekend in NZ. See New Zealand 2007 daylight savings update for Mac OS X.
Hat tip to: TidBITS Macs & Mac OS X: Daylight Saving Time Rules Fixed for New Zealand:
BTW – I've been reading TidBITS since it was available as Hypercard stacks way, way back in 1990. I admire their longevity and commitment in a field that has seen many come and go in that time.
Mac Skype hardware
I've thought about putting Skype on the iBook and wondered about Mac-compatible hardware to support it – yelling at the laptop didn't seem ideal. But really had no idea where to start. I've found in the past that quite a few USB devices (speakers, keyboards etc,) do work in Mac OS X but the boxes never say that because it's unsupported. However TidBITS (which I've been reading since it used to be distributed as HyperCard stacks) has a recent, helpful breakdown here of some options.

After ordering got a confirmation email which stated that shoes would be delivered by EMS. Never heard of them before so had a look and saw was a Chinese delivery company and that the shoes were actually coming from China.
When they arrived they were in a plastic bag, and turned out to be a very tatty and badly finished pair of fake shoes which looked nothing like the ones in the photo when ordering. The pair in the photo were grey suede but the pair that I got were grey/blue denim, with stitching and seams very badly finished. A complete rip-off.
Be on the lookout for this company and avoid using them - now I look around I see a lot of other people have been ripped off too with the company never replying to emails or refunding money or accepting returns. The website looks professional & legit. Be warned.

I have seen "Air" brand shoes sold for $15-$20 per pair on street corners and at flea markets. These cheap shoes don't use the Nike "swoosh" logo, but use the word "Air" prominently. I bought a pair of those shoes once; the shoes hurt my feet after wearing them a while, and the soles cracked after about one month of wear. A waste of $15. I assume that these shoes were the "Air" shoes like I described. They would be counterfeit if a Nike "swoosh" is on them, although Nike does use Chinese manufacturers for their legit products, making it difficult sometimes to identify if it's real or fake...both say "Made In China".

Nope, these have the same logos as the originals - 'Nike Air' + the logo.

you know if you got screwed over that bad all you have to do is send them an e-mail saying you'll report them to IFCC (internet fraud complaint center) if the refuse to comply. if they still don't work with you all you have to do is report then and let the government take care of the rest.

What A Scam
Posted by
I bought a pair of shoes from obsneakers.com, and it ended up taking more than a month for the shoes to come in the mail after it said the order would take a week to ship. The tracking service was not functional, and to this day says that my order is still "processing." When the package came in the mail, I was upset that it had taken so long but happy to try on my new shoes. I opened the package, and a completely different pair of shoes were there. The company would not accept my request for a refund, and instead offered a 15% discount on future purchases, which I did not want to accept. Finally they said I could send the shoes back, but I would have to pay for the shipping, which turned out to be $45 because the company happens to be located in China.
This service was overall disastrous and I highly recommend staying away from buying this company's merchandise, it seems as though this has happened to many people and seems like a scam.

It is bad enough that our corporations are sending our jobs and money to China. PLEASE, let's not do it as individuals as well.
Skye on 10/22/2010:
There was another complaint recently about ordering from China, it was a different website. They ordered a pair of Uggs, that were supposed to be authentic, turned out to be fake, and they could not get in touch with the company in China for a refund.
GenuineNerd on 10/22/2010:
You would have been better off buying shoes locally. Sure, the shoes themselves would still be made in China (or other Asian countries), but you would be supporting a local business.
GenuineNerd on 10/22/2010:
Also are the Radii Moon Walkers "fitness shoes", similar to the Skechers Shape-Ups or MBT shoes? Those "fitness shoes" with the thick, cushioned soles are getting to be all the rage now.
Skye on 10/22/2010:
I think they have them for men also, though not sure which brand. I saw a guy selling his shape up sneakers on Craigslist recently. He said they hurt his back, because of how thickly cushioned the soles were, it's was throwing off his posture.
Obsfucation on 10/22/2010:
I bought a pair of Skechers, for more than I ever paid before for sneakers. They are by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I went back next week and bought a solid black pair so that I could wear them to work.

Diane Wakoski
|Diane Wakoski
|August 3, 1937
Whittier, California, U.S.
|poet, essayist
|New American Poetry
Diane Wakoski (born August 3, 1937) is an American poet. Wakoski is primarily associated with the deep image poets, as well as the confessional and Beat poets of the 1960s.[1] She received considerable attention in the 1980s for controversial comments linking New Formalism with Reaganism.
Life and work[edit]
Wakoski was born in Whittier, California and studied at the University of California, Berkeley and graduated in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts, where she participated in Thom Gunn's poetry workshops. It was there that she first read many of the modernist poets who would influence her writing style.[2] Her early writings were considered part of the deep image movement that also included the works of Jerome Rothenberg, Robert Kelly, and Clayton Eshleman, among others. She also cites William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski as influences. Her poetry career began in New York City, where she moved with La Monte Young in 1960, and lived until 1973.[3] Her later work is more personal and conversational in the Williams mode. Wakoski is married to the photographer Robert Turney, and is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan.[4][5]
Wakoski's literary works have been recognized and highlighted at Michigan State University in their Michigan Writers Series.[6]
Her work has been published in more than twenty collections and many slim volumes of poetry. Her selected poems, Emerald Ice, won the William Carlos Williams Prize from the Poetry Society of America in 1989. She is best known for a series of poems collectively known as "The Motorcycle Betrayal Poems."[1][7] Many of her books have been published in fine editions by Black Sparrow Press.
- William Carlos Williams Award for her book Emerald Ice.
- Guggenheim Foundation grant
- National Endowment for the Arts grant
- Fulbright Grant
- Pansy Award from The Society of Western Flowers

I just finished some testing using qemu-img to convert the qcow2 file to a raw file, just to see if that would work to boot from, which it did actually. So I'm guessing that something goes wrong when the conversion goes straight to the LV. I just wish I knew what exactly...
edit: Just for fun, I tried to use dd to copy the raw file to the LV. Lo and behold, the damn thing could now boot off the LV. A little hassle with this workaround, sure, but it seems to work.
I'm not quite ready to call this one solved yet, but it's a very good start!

No Ordinary Family Review: The Beast Withinby Jeffrey Kirkpatrick at . Comments
What a weird episode. "No Ordinary Animal" was full of action and a good deal of suspense, but it was peppered with so many irksome moments, it was almost hard to enjoy.
I'll start off first with a gripe that really could be directed at the majority of shows on any network these days. Why they feel it necessary to set up a cliffhanger and then make the reveal in the preview which immediately follows I will never know. It's beyond irksome; it's flat out annoying and I wish they'd just stop it.
Although, since the next episode is airing on Saturday, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea in this instance. It's not like many folks will tune in on the weekend to find out what happens.
Is it just me, or are the Powells getting mighty reckless with their secret? Fortunately, though, they appear to live in a town where people are completely oblivious to anything going around them... even at a crime scene. Stephanie darted into the house right in front of an entire crowd of people and no one saw her abruptly leave and then return? Unbelievable.
Something else that bothered me was how Stephanie could let her guard down and approach a vicious killer - one who just sprouted fangs and the sharpest set of brass knuckles I've ever seen, mind you - just because he appeared to have made a sudden change of heart. She is a compassionate doctor, sure, but that was just ridiculously naive and felt a bit too out of character for her. Have some common sense for goodness' sake.
I did, though, enjoy the number of Stephanie's slow-mo sequences. In fact, an entire episode of her just running, hair flowing in the background, would be completely fine by me.
Speaking of common sense, what a dumb move by Daphne to go off with a perfect stranger like that. If someone you've never met comes to tell you your mother has been attacked and you don't even have time to walk fifty feet to let your boyfriend know, wouldn't that seem like a good time to, I don't know, read his mind to see if he's legit? That didn't exactly sit well with me, either, because Daphne has read minds for a lot less than that.
Of course, no one can really rescue themselves on this show, so it was up to Jim to save Daphne yet again. The fight sequence between him and Lucas was rather impressive, except for one point: when they collided mid-air and fell to the ground with Jim atop Lucas. Lucas didn't even wince. So he's got feral abilities, does that mean he's unbreakable, too? That's just pushing the already far-fetched boundaries a little too far out of my comfort zone.
My favorite scene of the episode was Katie trying to describe Lucas to Jim and using Wolverine, Hulk and Tony Stark in her descriptions, all while George was jealously smack-talking her from behind. If I haven't made it clear before, I heart Katie Andrews. I especially loved her reaction to having "powers," but I assume by the revelation she's pregnant with Joshua's child that it was actually the child's abilities being manifest through her? I'm not exactly sure how that is supposed to work, but it did make for some amusing moments.
I'm uncertain if I can really boast about this, because I suppose it was a bit predictable, but I called it in my last review that the equations King was having J.J. work out via Mr. Litchfield are to make permanent the abilities fostered by King's serum. Not really patting myself on the back for that one; perhaps just a mild tapping.
All in all, it was a fun episode, despite my groaning. But enough about what I thought. Who do you think is faster: The Flash, Superman or Stephanie Powell? Discuss now!

george and kate as couple, i have hard time imagine that
Thanks Dave J! You're welcome here ANYTIME. :)
I'm glad other people noticed the GLARING lapses in judgement/writing from this otherwise fun episode. Daphne and her mother's inability to save themselves was WEAK sauce, Daphne literally sat their screaming and crying until her father saved her, come on she's the Jean Grey of this universe, she needs to develope confidence! It's a shame the writers have doomed this show that was filled with amazing potential. PS: season 2 wish would have been George and Katie working together to raise the baby, Joshua comes back saves Katie/Georeg, Joshua dies and Katie and George live happily ever after. Fun review thanks for the info-tainment.
@Fantasia Exactly my point. @Aaron It was sort of my attempt at a joke. Last week DCComics Forums had to be shut down because of a very heated dispute between fans over who was faster, Flash or Superman.
Stephanie did trip, in one of the early episodes.
What kind of question is that? Of course the flash is the fastest. The flash is so fast he, or rather they need there own reaper in order to catch them in the afterlife.
** This comment contains spoilers. SPOILER ALERT! ** You can clearly see that there isnt going to be another season. No one is checking what the writers are writing. Come on, a time warp? This could have been a great series, it's got great actors, the concept is good. But the writing is getting worse... (dialogs not too much, they are not great, but they are passable. story has become ridiculous) I pity the actors... :*(
Good point on Stephanie. I forget she moves so fast it's like she never moved. Still feels a little shaky using them in such a public forum. What if she trips ot something? :)
About the thing with Steph: She moved faster than anyone could comprehend, so it really didn't matter. Also loved the fight, but yeah i agree that jim should have been able to easily whoop his ass, i mean jim's only ability is that he's super strong, and he always seems to be getting his ass thrown around (Flashbacks of smallville come to mind)

The Boundary-Layer Mid/Side (M/S) Microphone: A New Tool
The recent popularity of the boundary layer microphone seems to be due, at least in part, to the extravagant claims made on its behalf. The author urges a saner assessment of its real virtues and proper uses. By pairing it with a bi-directional microphone, a novel M-S stereo system is created which has some useful, if limited, applications. With the addition of a third microphone, the original concept is further elaborated, broadening the range of possible uses. The workings and special properties of Mid-Side stereo are examined in detail to ensure a clear understanding of these systems, which can provide new and potentially unique tools to the practicing recordist.
