Elementary Review: Joan Watson, Heroineby Kate Brooks at . Comments
"The Women; Heroine" was hands down, the best episode of Elementary Season 1, if not the best finale I have seen this season on television. It featured all of the twists and endings that season enders should possess.
If there was a way I could rate this a 10 out 5, I would. I am just so completely satisfied with this finale and with this whole season. What a joy it has been to have been apart of it and to share it all with TV Fanatic.
Last week, we were taken aback by the the major plot twist that Irene Adler is indeed alive. How could the possibly top such a reveal? Easy:
Irene Adler is indeed Moriarty.
My jaw is still in pain from hitting the floor so hard. The fact that Moriarty used Irene Adler against Sherlock to break his heart, put him into a drug stint, force him to relocate and basically break him to his very core it blows my mind!
When it was announced that Arnold Vosloo was guest starring I figured that he was going to be Moriarty. Absolutely not. He was just some patsy, a pawn in Moriarty's game.
When Moriarty was confessing to Sherlock that he was a game she was always going to win, I knew that in my heart the person that was going to beat her at her own game was Watson. Man, did I love being right. If Joan had business cards the title would read, "Joan Watson, Heroine" - I'm so overjoyed at the payoff of her character in this finale. This whole season we've been building up with Watson, she's slowly been learning and finding the necessary tools. Lo and behold she was the key component to bring Moriarty to justice.
The best part for me tonight was the fact that Sherlock confessed that Watson was the one who solved Moriarty. The one who hatched a plan to fake an overdose so that she would fall for it. I am such a Joan Watson fangirl.
Then Sherlock named a bee after her! I am dead. Seriously, I cannot wait for season two.
It seems inevitable that Moriarty will return because, let's all take a moment to be real honest, she was a badass and incredibly terrifying. She is intelligent and has the resources to find a way out. I think I like the character of Moriarty more because she does indeed love Sherlock, not the normal kind of love, but the kind that fascinates you.
Lastly, I just want to say that Johnny Lee Miller is the perfect Holmes and Lucy Liu is the ideal Watson. Until next season...

The season finale was FANTASTIC. What i loved most about it was in the end, it was a tragic love story. Moriarty, inspite if being a criminal mastermind, came to visit sherlock when he was in the hospital. Both of them had fallen for each other. I love the bond that he and watson share, but for me Irene/Moriarty will always be the women.
I found on thing quite surprising though. Sherlock was deeply in love with Irene/M, to an extend that he was willing to sacrifice all his principles and murder a man he felt was responsible for her death. After finding about her true identity, I didnt believe how quickly sherlock was able to get past that. Wasn't he tempted even a bit to run away with her, when she offered?
Nevertheless, Natalie Dormer and JLM didnt a fantastic job. MORIARTY MUST RETURN.
Have watched so many of my recorded episodes that Sherlock & Watson are becoming part of our family. Final episode gripping and with an ending
that was just what we all hoped for. Thanks to the writers for not keeping us in suspense as to the fate of the characters. Perhaps the writers for Elementary could get together with Mentalist writers and finally find RED JOHN!! Three cheers for Elementary looking forward to next season.
Thank you Jase for noticing the similarity btw natalie dormer & katheryn winnick! I had to look up who played Booth's girlfriend to find out they weren't the same actress. Even their voices sounded similar to each other. Yes Elementary is fantastic! Worth watching every week! Loved the finale and the big reveal! It's worth it every time just to hear the intelligent dialogue! Witty, smart and totally entertaining, I can hardly wait for season 2!
Maybe they could bring in katheryn winnick and Irene/Moriarty could have a twin......hmmmm, but would she be good or evil?
Elementary is a generally a fun series with an excellent cast. Great when they weaned Watson off the sober sister tedium and she became a stand alone character. Moriarty as a woman was totally predictable and the only way Sherlock`s lost love could have continued to be a character. How could she and Watson co-exist for Sherlock`s attention? So, they either killed off his love or she had to be `Moriarty`. Plus Watson is a woman so let`s be modern. Moriarty as woman would have been more credible if she had been a bit older-like at least 10 years. I mean how old was she when she was with Sherlock in London? Early 20s and already a criminal mastermind?
I agree with this review. I thought the finale was brilliant! Great twist with Irene as Moriarty and the great character development of both Watson and Sherlock. I loved it. I can't believe that according to Wikipedia, the finale was the lowest rating episodes of the season. Hopefully, that was just wikipedia being funky and not true. Otherwise, tons of people missed a wonderfully awesome finale.
@ Mudcat, Personally I felt like Watson "diagnosed" Moriarty by understanding her commitment to the game and that she would need to see Sherlock broken--either to feel a sense of victory or because she truly did have feelings for him. There's been a lot of talk about the moles she had removed. To me, that was simply a clever device for Sherlock to put two & two together. He loved this woman blindly and it took the removal of something he loved (her constellation birthmark) for him to see her. Watson saw it more clearly, more easily than he did.
Can someone please explain to me exactly what Watson deduced about Moriarity? What did she figure out? Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm not at all clear on that. Great series, though, and fantastic finale. This is the role of a lifetime for Lucy Liu.
Absolutely loved this season and hope there will be more to come. Really enjoyed Sherlock and Watson's cemestry. Hated to see Sherlock get hurt so bad by Moriarty but I felt Watson would help save him. Fantastic!

Halo 3 will be free later this month on Xbox Live
Tomorrow, you'll be able to nab Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes for free on Xbox Live -- assuming you are a Gold member. Again, this masterful puzzle game from Capybara is worth the small amount of effort required to start the download. Do check it out.
October's second Games with Gold title doesn't need as much of an introduction: it's Halo 3. The full game will be available on Xbox Live starting October 16, 2013. People are still buying Xbox 360s for the first time, it should be pointed out. But still -- Halo 3?
Of course Microsoft would feature this, so at least we're getting it out of the way.

Hotel Review Scotland
Intro After a restful sleep we drew back the bedroom curtains. At 7.30am the early and sharp light had thrown a panorama of big sky, shapely green hills and jewel-blue loch into perfect focus. This is why we go on holiday!
The big windows of most loch-facing bedrooms are simply filled frame-to-frame with this wonderful view westwards across Loch Earn. The hotel sits at the edge of the pretty Perthshire village of St Fillans where substantial, elegant stone villas share equally beautiful outlooks with small and picture-postcard cottages. Rich or poor the vista is there for all.
Come here and all the natural beauty and interesting attractions of the Perthshire Highlands will surround. Perfect for staying put, and perfect for touring. Of course the Perthshire charms will surround you whichever hotel you end up in, if you end up here: so what makes the Four Seasons so special?
Dining The main restaurant is the Meall Reamhar, looking out over the loch. Interesting canvases on the walls and the exciting and clearly laid-out menus; it has a lightly sophisticated atmosphere we like very much. And apart from getting our vote, the AA has awarded 2 rosettes.
The hotel offers residents and non-residents the choice of a 4-course table d'hôte dinner here, or a tasty lighter meal (variations on Scottish favourites) in the more casual setting of the Tarken Bar, which also serves lunch. But wherever you decide to eat, the freshly prepared food, employing much local or quality Scottish produce, is created in the same kitchen by head chef Gordon Wood and his team.
In 2006 we dined here on the night after dinner in a celebrated establishment. And we found it more enjoyable, frankly: very good food, especially good flavours, charming staff, and an unpretentious mood. All these ingredients add up.
Let's sample a taste of dinner in the restaurant: first, drinks and canapés are served in the Lounge next to the restaurant by a well-dressed team of young women in mandarin collar white shirts and long black skirts. The chef's gourmet menu featured 4 starters and 4 mains, with an intermediate soup course. Dishes included Foie Gras and Celeriac Terrine with Puy Lentil Dressing; Pittenweem Crab with Confit Tomato and Artichoke Salad; White Onion Soup drizzled with truffle oil; Monkfish poached in Black Olive Oil and served with tasty Gazpacho and Aubergine Crisps. There is a separate vegetarian menu (you might have to ask for it) with a good choice of dishes. If you enjoy desserts then you'll be in your element here.

Escape to St Fillans - the Trossachs boasts natural beauty, but that's not the only temptation for townies. By FIONA DUFF
A WHILE AGO some some friends and I realised that every so often we need to get away. No men, no kids, no dogs and no worries; just the opportunity to laugh, eat, drink, shop and explore. And as well as being a chance to catch up without distractions, a weekend away also lets us discover parts of the country that we perhaps weren't familiar with before.
This year we wanted somewhere that wasn't too far from Edinburgh, but enough of a distance to feel as though we had escaped. I suggested the Trossachs - a part of the world I once knew quite well and could do with reacquainting myself with. In particular I was curious to see The Four Seasons Hotel in St Fillans, whose main claim to fame is that it played host to The Beatles in 1964 during a Scottish tour. I had been told that the hotel had been thoroughly redesigned by Graven Images, the leisure industry's interior design company of the moment. Well, there's nothing us townies like less than missing out on a bit of style.
Stopping off in Callander for lunch we were flabbergasted by the number of people around. This was not high tourist season, but the town was buzzing. It appeared there was a jazz festival in full swing. Indeed every café and bar either had live music emanating from it or was planning something that evening. Retail therapy was catered for with a main street crammed with shops. OK, they were not the chi-chi fashion shops we are used to, but when it comes to tablet or tartan nick nacks you can't beat this place.
We travelled further north, through Lochearnhead, where we noted the watersports centre, which, despite it being the beginning of autumn, seemed fairly busy. On the loch hardy souls were waterskiing and fishermen were out in force catching trout.
On arrival, the Four Seasons looked welcoming but fairly nondescript, although it has a lochside location. A rangy building, painted white with azure shutters, it certainly hasn't the grandiose features of a country house hotel. However, inside, past the row of wellies and walking boots by the door, there is a surprise in store. The interior is not at all what one would imagine from a wee village hotel; it was a bit like walking into the pages of Elle Decoration.
Having bought the hotel in 1999 after stints at various well-known hotels around Britain the owner, Andrew Low, wanted a place that was more relaxed. Children and dogs are welcome (there are also six chalets behind the hotel), and there are no grand flourishes or ceremony on arrival, merely smiles from the jolly staff.
When Low first took ownership the hotel was "very decrepit". The look he went for then was "faded, clubby and comfortable", but almost a decade on Low realised that he needed to give the place another makeover. About an hour from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, St Fillans is a natural choice for city dwellers looking for a break. They want the real fires, and the views, and they expect flair and good food.
Interspersed with the signature look of cool furniture and plush curtains and cushions is an eastern influence - tables and dressers brought back from Low's frequent travels to Asia. At the entrance to the more formal of the two dining rooms is a stunning chest from the royal palace in Sumatra. It was originally hidden behind a door, but the designers immediately suggested that it be given pride of place. Throughout the hotel the paintings adorning the walls are a mix of Scottish and Vietnamese art. Low told me some of these were by the "Famous Four", and to those who know about eastern art this would surely mean something. All I knew was that he wasn't referring to John, Paul, George or Ringo.
The bedrooms are still to have some interiors magic worked upon them, but as my room had a huge window looking on to Loch Earn, everything was forgiven. I've looked out on incredible scenes in hotels around the world, but the view right down the loch skirted with autumnal trees was quite wonderful. When the hotel closes in January and February the bedrooms will be redesigned for a spring opening. We raised our eyebrows at Low's faith in this, but he is determined. "We have a wedding on 1 March so it will have to be done by then," he said firmly.
Before the five of us settled down to some serious eating, drinking and gossiping, it seemed only right to go and look around some of the countryside while the sun was shining. There are lots of local walks with information for guests on length, feasibility and even alerts about local goats.
We plumped for the Riverside walk. Along the edge of the loch (and the berthing spot for a yellow seaplane), over a bridge and along the river was a nice, easy flat saunter for those of us who had forgotten to pack walking boots. Or indeed didn't actually own any in the first place. For the more serious yomper there are other walks up the local Munro, Ben Vorlich, or a trip to Glen Tarken with views to Torleum.
The following morning, having had a delicious supper and a huge breakfast (with the most perfect poached eggs ever seen), we planned the rest of our day. Lunch, we decided, should be at Monachyle Mhor Hotel a short distance away in Balquidder. We'd seen the chef, Tom Lewis, on a television programme cooking for the Queen's 80th birthday banquet. If it was good enough for her it might well be worth the detour.
I'd never ventured further than Balquidder village before, but with Monachyle Mhor a further four miles we wended our way along the single-track road avoiding careering 4x4s which seemed in a desperate rush to be somewhere. On the left Loch Voil was as still and clear as a mirror. The reflection of the trees on the water was breathtaking. We had to pull over, get out of the car and breathe in the beauty of the prettiest of all lochs.

Truly characterful, artful and laid-back lochside hotel
The Scottish Hotel Guide
Judges' notes: A world away from the harsh richesse of the international Four Seasons hotel brand, this Scottish lochside alternative endears with distinctive, original characteristics. A previous winner of our Good for the Soul award the highly individual hotel has a dozen bedrooms plus chalets and a private apartment giving a good range of prices / flexibility.
Public rooms feature thoughtfully-chosen objects and pictures from both Scotland and the Orient, which owner Andrew Low knows well. Art and attractive, contemporary design (from, for example, the '60s to right now) mix with striking furnishings such as an opium bed in one lounge. But it can easily do casual and the Wee Bar sees to that.
The Meall Reamhar fine dining restaurant has a wall of windows looking lochwards. Less formal is the Tarken Room. Food is good to excellent, be it the casual or posh option. Breakfast is sound and offers kedgeree: excellent! Bedrooms are fresh, comfortable; the most desirable ones overlook Loch Earn, of course; one round room has a four poster.
Recently, renowned designers Graven Images zhooshed up some bedrooms and other spaces like the open-plan lounge with log fire where it's grand to relax by day or order dinner in the evening. A clever country hotel with many faces: sophisticated at one turn, entirely laid-back or quiet at another.
A one-off, and a touch of enlightenment about it, too.
Highly Recommended.

Kari Cornicelli is leading an initiative to educate Sharp Healthcare's physicians to document with the specificity required under ICD-10—while also capturing the data needed to identify opportunities for improving quality and reducing costs.
Throughout her career, VP/CFO Kari Cornicelli, Sharp Grossmont Hospital, La Mesa, Calif., has been a champion for improving collaboration between finance and clinicians. "The finance team's role is not to just produce and distribute data. It's also important that we articulate what the data means and help end users identify opportunities within the data," says Cornicelli, who is also HFMA's chair-elect.
Cornicelli's latest initiative involves spearheading the ICD-10 transition for the entire Sharp Healthcare system. A successful ICD-10 deployment is obviously key to accurate reimbursement. But Sharp Healthcare, which is a Medicare Pioneer ACO, has also embraced the major coding change as an opportunity to enhance the capture of quality-related data, including Medicare core measures.
In addition to the ICD-10 project, Sharp is rolling out clinical intelligence software that can merge and analyze ICD-10 codes, quality data, and cost information from Sharp's clinical and financial systems. This will prove vital in giving the health system a road map to potential opportunities for improving quality and reducing costs, including improvements under population health management. Sharp-affiliated physicians will be able to benchmark their performance against other physicians, allowing them to analyze variances in practice and improve their profiles under Medicare's Value-Based Purchasing Program, which rolls out for physicians in 2015.
"Everyone thinks of ICD-10 as a financial change, but we are turning it into a clinical process improvement project," says Cornicelli.
"Clinical documentation is the foundation of ICD-10," says Cornicelli. "We are teaching our physicians how to document with the specificity required by the new ICD-10 codes so we can capture accurate information on the care delivered to patients," says Cornicelli.
To assist in that effort, Sharp Healthcare has dedicated clinical documentation specialists who review physicians' documentation and identify areas for improvement. As part of the ICD-10 project, physicians will also have access to computer-based instruction, pocket cards with documentation tips, and phone apps, as well as the traditional classes and discussions that explain the new ICD-10 documentation requirements.
Sharp's physician and clinical nurse informaticists―clinicians who specialize in developing the electronic health record―are refining physician documentation templates to reflect the requirements of the new ICD-10 codes. The templates will prompt physicians to provide documentation that reflects ICD-10 specificity, verify medical necessity, and supply quality information, such as venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and code status. Sharp also plans to include voice-recognition capability to ease the amount of time physicians spend typing patient care information into the templates.
"We are focused on the purpose of the templates, what information needs to be included in those templates, and how to provide physicians with tools that allow simplified documentation that captures the more specific ICD-10 language in their documentation," says Cornicelli.
Sharp has already started to see results from its documentation efforts, with Sharp facilities reporting improvements in severity of illness scores between 0.5 to 16 percent. "We are now starting to see improved documentation and more thorough specificity for the care that is provided. When doctors are in a hurry, they often don't take the time to thoroughly document. Physicians are taking care of patients who are very sick, but the severity of illness hasn't been captured because of the lack of specificity recorded in the chart. They are providing excellent care, but if it's not recorded in the chart, it's as if it didn't happen."
Sharp's ICD-10 conversion is more than a system or coding change. Cornicelli's lead role in the conversion is developing new lines of communication between finance and clinical staff.
"For me personally and professionally, it's been rewarding to work with the interdisciplinary team on the ICD-10 conversion project. Team members from across the entire Sharp system have worked on the various projects, and it has been exciting to see everyone work together to improve the organization. It has given me an opportunity to work with physicians across the health system, and it's been rewarding to see them embrace these new documentation challenges and successfully work with the new ICD-10 requirements," says Cornicelli.

What to Expect at CES 2012
January's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the most important event on the tech calendarit's where hundreds of companies, big and small, unveil their hottest gadgets for the coming year. Here are the most important, stories, products and concepts you can expect from CES 2012.
By John Herrman
Smart TVs, Take Three
CES 2010 was packed with first-gen smart TVs, which brought Internet connectivity and apps to the living room. Unfortuately, well, they weren't very good: They were expensive and hard to use, and their app stores stocked with fairly pathetic selection of widgets and content apps. CES 2011 wasn't much of an improvement. But 2012 will be the year the smart TV goes mainstream: Roku, makers of the original Netflix box and a series of wonderful little Roku streamers, which turn an old TV into a decent Smart TV for under $100, has annoucned the Roku Stick. It's a no-brainer: It's got no power cord, there's no fuss to set it up, and it just plugs and plays into the back of your TV. It does require a new and still-rare port to work, but Samsung Sony have both released compatible HDTVs already; Insignia will as well. Google is also expected to release its second generation of Google TV, the search giant's take on smart TVs. The first was an unmitigated flop, but this time around they've got an impressive list of hardware partners. They might have a shot at getting it right.

The Bay Area Media Mission (BAMM)-KDYA 1190AM, The Post News Group, and The Richmond Main Street Initiative (RMSI)-are presenting May as Mother's Month and offering healthy tips for breast cancer prevention. Studies have shown that lifestyle changes decrease the risk of breast cancer even in women with higher risks. Steps that you can take to lower your risks are: Limit your alcohol-consuming high levels of alcohol puts you at a greater risk of developing breast cancer. Limit yourself to no more than one drink per day. Do not smoke-accumulating evidence suggests a link between smoking and risks of breast cancer. Additionally, not smoking is one of the best things you can do for your overall health. Control your weight-being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer. Be physically active-the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 20 minutes a day of moderate aerobic activity. Program sponsor RMSI highlights the importance of making healthy choices by offering fresh fruit and vegetables at the Farmer's Stand in downtown Richmond every First Friday of the month. Also, look for The Farmer's Market every Wednesday now through October 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Richmond. For more information, contact The Richmond Main Street Initiative at (510) 236-4050.

Chatting With the Round-2 Winner of Chopped Championsby Maria Russo in Shows, January 22nd, 2013
In an all-new season of Chopped Champions, 16 chefs, each with a previous Chopped win under his or her belt, are returning to the kitchen to face off for a second time in the ultimate multicourse cook-off. Although they're no strangers to mystery baskets, these chefs are under more pressure than ever, as they're competing not just for Chopped glory but also a spot in the finale where they can ultimately claim a $50,000 prize and the coveted title of Grand Champion.
Each week, four chefs will take their places in the kitchen and battle it out in the hopes of outlasting the chopping block once again. While three will crumble beneath the demands of Champions cooking, one will prove his or her culinary chops for a second time. Check in with FN Dish every Tuesday night after the episode to hear from the latest winner.
When round-two champions, Chefs Fatima Ali, Rachel Willen, Vinson Petrillo and Walter D'Rozario, opened their baskets this week, they found fruitcake, shad roe sacks, vodka and Tokyo scallions staring back at them and only 20 minutes on the clock. Chefs Fatima, Vinson and Walter each received minor critiques from the judges for their appetizer preparations, but it was ultimately Chef Rachel who was chopped on account of burned scallions and a dense Dutch Baby. Chefs Walter and Vinson fared well in the entree round with such mystery ingredients as squab, peanut butter and jelly spread, red quinoa and karelas, but a quick slip of the knife caused Chef Fatima to seriously cut her finger and started a reaction of challenges for her. Although the judges praised her use of dried mango with the karelas in a dish of roasted squab, Chef Fatima's undercooked quinoa did her in. With only 30 minutes to cook and plate a dessert with mitmita, Sauternes, cream-filled sandwich cakes and cottage cheese, Chefs Vinson and Walter faced off in their last cook-off for a spot in the finale. In the end, the judges weren't impressed with how Chef Walter simply sliced and scattered his chocolate cream cakes, nor with the texture of his corn pudding. Thanks to his mitmita-spiced cottage cheese dumplings and a no-bake brownie, Chef Vinson scored a second Chopped win.
Now that you've won two Chopped competitions, are you starting to recognize your own abilities as a chef? Has your self-confidence improved going into the grand finale?
VP: I am finally starting to realize my abilities as a chef, and I guess I'm not that bad! I have so much self-doubt, and in my mind I was just not good enough to win. Winning my episode of Chopped Champions has definitely boosted my confidence for the finale, and I'm going in feeling pretty good.
You said that if you were to win to the $50,000 prize, you'd like to take some time off and relax. How did you spend the $10,000 winnings from the past competition?
VP: I spent my last $10,000 a couple of ways. I paid off my credit card, went on a trip to Costa Rica and put some money down on my fiancée's engagement ring. The $50,000 would be great though!
In your last Chopped competition, you explained, your nerves almost got the better of you. During this battle, you seemed very much in control, both of the ingredients and time on the clock. What was your secret to staying relaxed — at least outwardly — in the kitchen this time?
VP: Inside my mind was going crazy. I felt every time I spoke, words were not actually coming out of my mouth. Like I said, I have had to deal with anxiety my whole life, but this time I knew what to expect and I knew I just had to do what I do every day — cook great food.
You said that you don't work with desserts often, but your third course of spiced dumplings, brownie and fruit compote impressed the judges with its creative elements. And you mentioned that in your last battle, your dessert offering was particularly "strong." Given your success, do you plan to start experimenting more with desserts?
VP: I do play around with desserts — much more often now. I feel this brings a whole new element to creating food. I like to incorporate savory elements into my desserts to make them unique. I even impressed myself with the dessert I made on Chopped Champions, except for the fact that it was sweeter than the judges or I would have liked.
What do you consider to be the most crucial part to competing on Chopped: the ability to work well under pressure or the know-how to transform unusual ingredients? Do you think you excel at one more than the other?
VP: Definitely product knowledge, and I have the privilege to work with new ingredients every day. You have to be open-minded and creative. I always have worked well under pressure; both are equally important for winning Chopped.

Though the critique of Walter's dessert is true, it fails to mention he also used the chocolate cream cake in his sauce, which the judges liked. The garnish was a misstep, but it was not the only he used the ingredient.
I saw Vinson on his first appearance and win on Chopped and right then knew he is well on his way to being a brilliant chef. The judges were obviously well aware of it, too; they were dumbfounded with his creativity and skill. And such a modest and well-mannered young man, too. I'm following his career online and know there is such success ahead for him. That, of course, will start with the $50K win in Chopped Champions! No doubt about it.
Never really watched this show, heard a lot about Chopped, thought Id give it a try. Interesting show, has everything- drama, food, suspense, sadness, happiness, excitement, danger!
On a shallow note- that blonde female judge. Yowzaaa. Maybe I'll keep watching ;)
How I can contact Chef Fatima Ali
very blog thanks admin
It's Critical to work well under pressure when you are a chef.
something new and then decide! My kids did too. If they really didn't like it they were not made to eat it. But they did have to re-try it every so often. Tastes do change over time.
They screwed up a little bit here. The judges liked the texture of the pudding, but Scott's was undercooked. That was the problem with the dessert. Plus, it was a cottage cheese pudding, not a corn pudding

Formula One driver James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth, second from right) parties hard between races in the 1970s period piece "Rush."
In "Rush," James Hunt's rival, Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl, right, with Alexandra Maria Lara), aspires to perfection on the track but lacks social graces.
In the individual sports, it's nearly impossible to become a champion for the ages if you don't have a fierce and lengthy rivalry with an opponent of near or equal skill and heart. Golfer Jack Nicklaus needed Arnold Palmer. Boxer Muhammad Ali needed Joe Frazier. …

Upper Steering Coupling
The upper steering coupling on my '64 Impala is very loose and woobly. Can it be repaired and do you sell kits to do that – or should I just replace it with a steering shaft u-joint?
I forgot to add that my Impala has Manual Steering.
CARS INC carries an upper steering column bearing part #11560 for 1964–1966 Impala's without tilt wheel. It is $19.95 and in stock. If this bearing is worn out it will make the steering wheel loose. Complete step by step repair instructions, with pictures and an exploded view of the steering column without tilt wheel are in the 1961 Chevrolet Passenger Car Shop Manual, which is the same steering column as the 1964 Impala. CARS INC also carries this manual, part #3886 which is $28.00 and in stock.
Order at www.carsinc.com or call us at 1 800 CARS INC
Are you talking about the upper slip joint under the hood where the shaft comes thru the firewall?
Doc, if you are refering to the piece that connects the
steering column to the steering box , that is the steering coupling
or rag joint. It is replaced as one unit. They are available from many
sources including some local auto parts stores. They usually cost in the $50.00 range.
No, I am not talking about the Rag Joint, but thanks. I am talking about the "bell shaped" upper steering coupling that connencts the upper steering shaft to the intermediate shaft – about 6 or 8 inches below the firewall. It has a rubber boot on top of it held in place by a retaining snap ring. Inside it has a retainer, a spring, and a bearing. Mine is worn out and very loose when turning the wheel. I see here CARS, Inc sells a replacement bearing (for $19.95 with almost $8 shipping), but they don't sell the replacement boot, retainer or retaining snap ring. I found the boot on another vendor, but they don't sell the bearing, retainer or snap ring. I was thinking about replacing the whole thing with a universal steering shaft U-joint, but it seems none are made exactly for the 64 and I would have to remove the upper steering shaft and intermediate shaft and have at least one of them if not both machined to accept a steering shaft u-joint. I guess I have to order the replacement bearing here, the rubber boot from another vendor (and almost double the price of the 2 small parts with shipping) hope my retainer and retaining snap ring are ok – and try repairing mine. Thanks everyone
how do you take off the retainer and boot on the steering column?
steering is nothing to play with but since your on the task get a 605 steering gear box and power steer from Cars 1 you will love it

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered a new eye syndrome that is striking young and middle-aged Americans of Chinese descent. Fortunately, this condition appears to be less serious than glaucoma, a progressive eye disease that can lead to severe vision loss and blindness. Unfortunately, many ophthalmologists are mistakenly diagnosing it as glaucoma, exposing young Chinese American patients to aggressive, risky treatments-such as surgery-that may not be necessary.
A recent study examining the effectiveness of national accident prevention campaigns-such as those that encourage the use of bicycle helmets, automobile safety seats and smoke detectors-in reducing fatal childhood injuries contains both good news and bad news when it comes to children of color.

Located in Worship Center (Cascade Seating)
"Fasting 101"
Tap into the power of fasting and grow closer to the Lord! Offering four sessions filled with simple suggestions, Pastor Kimberland will help you explore the different types of biblical fasting and how to choose the best one for you.
Are you seeking healing? Does a loved one need salvation? Is your faith community searching for direction? Tap into the power of fasting and present your requests to the Lord! Offering simple suggestions, Pastor Kimberland will show how abstaining from food will leave your spirit uncluttered so you are free to seek God's will in prayer and humility.
Rev. Patrick Kimberland
Excited and passionate for the ministry are words that describe Pastor Patrick Kimberland who recently accepted the position of Interim Pastor at Butterfield Church.
Pastor Kimberland was called into the ministry at 18 years of age during an Arkansas District Youth Camp. He later became an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and graduated in 1992 from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri with a Bachelor's Degree in Bible.
In May 2011, Pastor Kimberland and his family moved to Alma, Arkansas and began attending Butterfield Church while he traveled as a fulltime evangelist. In 2011 alone, Pastor Kimberland preached an average of 255 days out of the year, including an 11-week revival he led at First Assembly of God in Paris, Arkansas. Prior to his 11 years as an evangelist, Pastor Kimberland and his wife Kristi served as the senior pastors at Maumelle Assembly of God in Little Rock, associate pastors at First Assembly in Jonesboro, and have been youth ministers at churches in Cabot and Mountain Home.
With a genuine heart for people and desire to build the kingdom of God, Pastor Kimberland and Kristi look forward to "feeling God's presence in a greater way than we've ever experienced, to the point that people's lives are transformed, they can't wait to come to church, and they can't help but invite their friends!"
Pastor Kimberland and Kristi were married in 1994 in Van Buren, Arkansas and have two children, Hayden and Parker. Pastor Kimberland enjoys sports, playing golf, taking Parker to baseball and basketball games, and most importantly, spending time with family.

One of Only Four Schools in Massachusetts to be Recognized With Distinction
BOSTON (February 26, 2010) — For the fourth year in a row, Simmons College was named to the 2009 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its students' volunteer contributions to the community.
Simmons is one of only four schools in Massachusetts to be recognized on the 2009 "Honor Roll With Distinction," a designation given to schools that have exhibited significant community service; Simmons also is the only college in the state to have received the "Honor Roll With Distinction" designation three times since the honor roll began in 2006.
During the 2008-2009 academic year, the Simmons College Scott/Ross Center for Community Service engaged more than 2,600 students in community service activities. Through the Scott/Ross Center for Community Service, students took part in a variety of tutoring and mentoring partnerships with community schools and organizations. For example, last year management students created a financial literacy program for inner city high school students, presenting them with information about short and long-term savings, identity theft, and cell phone plans.
"This honor recognizes some of the most important work that we do here at Simmons with our neighborhood and community partners," said Simmons College President Helen Drinan.
Simmons College Trustee and alumna Emily Scott Pottruck funded the Scott/Ross Center for Community Service in 2000, in recognition of the college's long-time commitment to community service. The center serves the Greater Boston community by developing reciprocal partnerships with community organizations while enriching and expanding students' educational and co-curricular experiences.
The President's Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition an institution can achieve for its commitment to service learning and civic engagement. Administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions that "support exemplary, innovative, and effective community service programs."
Simmons College is a nationally recognized private university located in the heart of Boston. It offers undergraduate education for women, and renowned coeducational graduate programs in health sciences, education, liberal arts, social work, library and information science, and communications management, as well as the nation's first MBA program designed specifically for women.

Bi Cyclist Tales
A joke that will sicken cyclists | Alison Steed - Times Online
OK, I admit it, I like Lycra! I know that may seem bizarre to many of you who chug around in your cars, but as a cyclist it is something I could not do without. And if you agree with Matthew Parris, who wrote on these pages that we deserve to be "decapitated" for wearing bright, clinging colours, then tell that to the families of the 150 people a year who die in cycling accidents.... but not by piano wire.... and on and on she goes, I thought she was going to be calling for new laws to make it illegal to mock push bikers. So who is this Alison Steed? I wondered. A quick google and I come across this wonderful story - I have no idea if it is the same bicycling - emphasis on the bi - Alison Steed or not, but I hope it is.
The truth about my lesbian divorce | the Daily Mail
...three months on, the 'marriage' of Daphne Ligthart and Liz King - triumphantly celebrated as one of the first of this country's same-sex civil partnerships - is in tatters amid accusations of infidelity, lies and betrayal.
Two weeks ago, keep-fit fanatic Liz moved out of the couple's home after falling for wedding guest Alison Steed, who is separating from the man with whom she has lived for 16 years.....At the reception party, at Churchill's pub in Ashford, Daphne noticed that Alison Steed - one of several guests invited from the local athletics club, Ashford Tri,(giggle) where Liz was a member - looked rather depressed.
"She had come on her own without her boyfriend,"(fnarr fnarr) Miss Steed, the 33-year-old, who works in the media seemed to wish the couple well....
But it was the discovery of a pizza box in the kitchen at the end of March, and Liz's admission that Alison had cooked it while Liz had been upstairs taking a bath, that finally tipped Daphne over the edge....Liz told Daphne it was because Alison was splitting up from her boyfriend, with whom she shared an Edwardian home near a Kent hamlet called, ironically enough, Cuckold's Corner..."She swore on our dogs' lives that it was a friendship." (howl)
As Daphne recalls: "I said to Liz that I thought Alison was meant to be straight, and that she had never been with a woman before."
To which Liz is said to have replied: "She's doubting her sexuality."
After that sharp exchange, Liz left for the night, apparently to see Alison. The following morning, she returned home to admit that she and Alison had shared their first kiss.
"She said they had a kiss and a cuddle," says Daphne. "I asked her what kind of kiss and she said it was a French kiss.
"I said: 'Why are you doing this? Is it just exciting?...
(Cue music, curtain fall and credits)

Hey Jamie,
I know what you're saying. It's the fear of the unknown. In Iowa we deal with tornados. We respect them, but don't really live in fear because they happen more here than some places. My cousin & her family from Pasadena were here this summer and her daughter was freaking out because of the lightining. Again, we respect it, but it's no big deal - at least until it hits my house!!
Ya know thats the sad thing bout Cali pep ya take things for granted just coz ya use to something . I read all the snickering n jokes but lil 1s do damage to hello . Fyi that part of Va is on a slight hot spot n yea do the research its all rock there so travels a long ways just like using ur head does.

With a $660,000 cut in Corner Brook's Municipal Operating Grant, I hope the City of Corner Brook will not impose cuts or new taxes at the expense of single families, senior citizens, working poor, students, and disabled persons like the did in the recent budget with transit cuts and Poll Tax increases. Since the Poll Tax usually effects low income earners like disabled persons, seniors, students, single families, and working poor, Corner Brook should be lucky they are not sued for discrimination.

McMoRan Exploration Bulls Are Fired Up
By Pete Najarian, co-founder of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- McMoRan Exploration (MMR)lit up with upside option activity Tuesday.
Buyers snapped up the July 11 calls for 29 cents and 30 cents. Some 8,000 of the contracts crossed OptionMonster's tracking systems in the first hour of trading, and volumes continued to inch higher throughout the session. Open interest at the strike was just 1,000 contracts at the start of the day, so these were new positions.
Calls lock in the price investors can pay for the stock, so they can generate major leverage if the stock rallies. But if it doesn't, the value of those options will dwindle and could end up worthless.The stock rose 5.28% to $9.17 Tuesday, closing at its highs. The company engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the Gulf Coast area. More than 18,000 options traded in the name overall, compared with fewer than 4,000 in a typical session. Calls outnumbered puts by about 16,000 to 2,300. Najarian has no positions in MMR.
