Norwood, MA (03/10/2010) - MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans provide extraordinarily clear images of the human body and are commonly used to diagnose a wide range of illnesses and injuries, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancerous tumors, and torn ligaments. Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), the leading provider of data conversion technology and longtime collaborator with the medical imaging industry, today introduced a breakthrough in data conversion that gives clinicians and radiologists the superior image clarity they need to see smaller anatomical structures and abnormalities, such as breast cancer cells, than ever before.
ADI's AD5791 high-accuracy 20-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the industry's first to feature true 1-ppm (parts per million) resolution and accuracy, provides four times greater accuracy and four times more resolution than competing converters. 1-ppm analog system design typically entails the complex engineering challenges involved with combining multiple lower-resolution DACs with a significant number of discrete components and support ICs—along with considerable development risk and costly amounts of engineering time—to optimize circuit parameters, minimize errors, and design complex auto-calibration circuitry. The AD5791, with its 1-ppm resolution and accuracy, low noise (sub 1 ppm), fast refresh rates (1 µs), and extremely low output drift (sub 1 ppm), significantly simplifies the design task, lowers development cost and reduces risk. For more on its specific features, watch the AD5791: 1PPM DAC Video.
In MRI systems, this breakthrough technology improves image quality, enables precise control of the magnetic gradient in high-field-strength applications, and results in superior image resolution and contrast. The low noise, drift, and linearity performance of the AD5791 maximizes operational up-time by eliminating the need to take the MRI system offline for system calibration cycles. The new converter also reduces the necessity for complex calibration algorithms, resulting in lower engineering and system maintenance costs. In addition to MRI systems, other applications for the AD5791 include test and measurement systems, high-end scientific and aerospace instrumentation, communications equipment, and industrial control systems.
Enhancements in data conversion allow imaging system designers to improve image clarity and speed clinicians' ability to diagnose illnesses at an early stage and make timely treatment possible. The AD5791 DAC delivers extremely low-noise performance, lessening unwanted image artifacts and thereby reducing the need for multiple MRI scans. Additionally, lower image-error rates and higher availability ensure that healthcare facilities can effectively treat more patients within a shorter time period.
More than 60 million diagnostic MRI procedures are performed worldwide each year. A non-invasive technique, MRI takes images of the human body without using ionizing radiation, making it a method of choice to diagnose many different injuries and conditions because of its ability to tailor the exam to meet specific imaging parameters such as the field of view.
"The AD5791 establishes new benchmarks in image clarity, resolution, and contrast in medical imaging systems – all system design requirements needed to ensure radiologists can quickly and accurately diagnose patients," said Patrick O'Doherty, vice president for the Healthcare Group, Analog Devices. "For system architects, the 1-ppm performance level makes a single DAC architecture possible, reducing design footprint and cost. This means that for the first time designers are able to free up a large portion of the system error budget, the savings of which can be applied to critical components in other subsystems or to improve the overall MRI performance."
The 20-bit AD5791 offers a relative accuracy specification of ±1 LSB max, and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±1 LSB DNL max specification. The product delivers 0.025ppm low frequency noise and features 0.05ppm/C output drift. The output can be configured for standard unipolar (+5 V, +10 V) or bipolar (±5 V, ±10 V) output ranges. The AD5791 uses a versatile three-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz.
The AD5791 DAC is the latest example of how Analog Devices is providing cutting-edge technology for medical imaging systems. Other recent medical announcements from ADI include the ADAS1128 24-bit current-to-digital converter, ADuM4160 single-chip USB (universal serial bus) isolator, and AD927x family of eight-channel (octal) receivers for ultrasound systems. These products, along with other ADI offerings, represent today's broadest IC product portfolio geared specifically toward the healthcare imaging market.

A LONG time ago, relatively speaking, I shot up a thread for a Deathwatch play-by-post. It was in short a long running, around 18 months, large game, at more than one point we had 16 Astartes, evened out towards the end to about 6 to 8. Anyhow, it eventually died down back in October, as life claimed a few players and I was supposed to head off for things that in the end did not happen.
I would very much like to see if anyone would like to start up a new game?

Oil and natural gas production within the United States is rising sharply due to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Because of these innovations, the United States is poised to become energy independent by 2020, and it might be a major exporter of natural gas by 2022. If these scenarios prove accurate, the United States is poised to reap great economic and competitive benefits. During this webcast, panelists discuss the U.S. energy revolution and its potential economic impact on the U.S. and global economies.

The Raiders would play a neck-in-neck, heated game against the Mustangs, ultimately coming out on top 71-61.
"We've won (against Walker Valley) the last three seasons. We've had kind of the upper hand in the win column, but every game we play against them is really tough and they kind of push us," Raider head coach Jason McCowan said.
The first period began on a positive note for the Mustangs, who were the first to register any points on the scoreboard and ended with the Mustangs leading 19-14.
"We had a great start to the game and I thought we had a great game plan going in," Mustang head coach Bob Williams said of the first period of play.
The Raiders were able to go into the second period and not let the initial five-point deficit affect them negatively.
"We got into a hole, which I didn't like, but we were able to climb back out of that hole and we really didn't let it have a lingering effect," McCowan admitted. "We kept them within arms' reach to where we could catch them in the second quarter."
The second period would end with the Raiders barely ahead of the Mustangs, 37-35. Despite their best efforts in the third period, the Mustangs defense could not hold back the Raiders.
"Our defensive effort there in the third quarter just gave up some easy baskets. In the first half I thought we did pretty good at that, then we were giving up second chance rebounds," Williams stated of his team's defensive play.
The third period ended with the Raiders ahead 49-43, with a chance for the trailing Mustangs to still take back their initial lead in the fourth period.
"We were playing in spurts and we need to take those spurts and lengthen those to where we're playing better [for] longer periods of time," McCowan said. ""Sometimes our athleticism is kind of an Achilles heel because we want to go after everything."
Kendrick Thompson led the Raiders with 26 points, netting four 3-pointers in the game. DJ Jones and Anfernee Scott would chip in to the team's total with 16 and 10 points respectively.
It was Tucker Godfrey who led the Mustangs with 22 points, followed by Austin Harwood with 12 points and Caio Hysinger with 11 points.
"The guys were ready to go. It boils down to Cleveland made plays when they needed to and we didn't, simple as that." Williams reflected. "I thought we played hard the whole game and I was proud of the effort. We've got to learn to make plays down the stretch when it's crunch time and we didn't do that tonight."
Walker Valley will maintain their rivalry excitement when they play Bradley Central this Friday at Jim Smiddy Arena.
"We've got to play four quarters and we've got to make plays. They'll be fired up and ready Friday," Williams said.
McCowan is excited about the team's win over the district rival and hopes to carry on the momentum to the next game in Rhea County.
"We're just going to work on getting better and we're going to work on that each day. We'll prepare for them just like we do everybody else. We've just got to continue to focus."
Lady Raiders 68
Lady Mustangs 39
The Lady Raiders were able to carry their success over Knoxville West into a win over district rivals Walker Valley.
"It's a good crosstown rivalry game. These kids have all grown up together. It's fun to get out and play well in front of the community," Cleveland head coach Mindy Kiser said.
The Lady Raiders seemingly put the Lady Mustangs out to pasture with a final score of 68-39.
"I thought, top to bottom, even the kids that came in at the end were ready to play and they knew exactly what we were doing," Kiser said of her team's success. "Anytime you experience a little bit of success and things go your way, they feed off each other. Each game we're able to get better and move forward."
The first period ended with the Lady Mustangs only trailing the Lady Raiders 17-11.
"They work hard and play as hard as they can, but we've just got to do the small things to help us get better," Walker Valley head coach Jessica Stone said.
The Lady Mustangs' attempts to shorten the Lady Raiders lead would prove ineffective as they were only able to score six points during the second period.
"Defensively I saw some really good stuff tonight," Kiser admitted.
Unable to come back from their deficit, the 7-10 Lady Mustangs seem to be a team that is struggling to find its place this year.
"We've had an up-and-down, kind of inconsistent year," Stone said of her team. "Rebounding and taking care of the ball are two of the biggest things we need to work on."
According to Kiser, the Lady Raiders saw some players really come through on the rebound.
"Atarah (Abdullah-Muhammad) had 18 rebounds and Shawnia (Anderson) had 13 rebounds; that's big stuff."
Qetuwrah Abdullah-Muhammad led the Lady Raiders with 20 points, followed by Nora Berry with 13 points, Shawnia Anderson with 12 points, and Atarah Abdullah-Muhammad with 10 points.
"All in all I thought it was a good defensive effort and we were able to put the ball in the hole a little bit tonight," Kiser said of her team.
Scoring for the Lady Mustangs was led by Wendi Watson who tallied up 12 points, and Rebecca Beavers with six points.
The Lady Mustangs will have to shake off their loss according to Stone, as they play the other crosstown rival, the Bradley Bearettes on Friday.
"They can't put their heads down. They've got to use this and learn from it," Stone said. "I feel like we have a lot to prove and I feel like we can come back and rebound off this game and give Bradley a fight for sure."
The Lady Raiders will travel to Rhea County for their game on Friday, and Kiser hopes their success will continue on.
"Rhea County thus far has had a really good season. Going to their place first, we've got to be ready to play … we've got our work cut out for us, no question."

Memory Skein
After peppering the saleswoman with a volley of stupid questions, I left with an armload of incredibly pretty, breathtakingly expensive blue worsted (to make a sweater, of course) and my first pair of needles.
The sweater never happened, but over time the worsted became a succession of tediously long scarves. I never went back to Woolcott, as knitting was something I did once a year. In October, I would knit a scarf. In April, I would lose it. In between, I didn't knit.*
That was years ago. I no longer live in Boston, and many of the places I knew in Harvard Square have long since dried up and blown away. But Woolcott is back on my radar, due to a very happy coincidence.
Sean, a fellow blogger whose projects are an endless source of inspiration to me, has taken over as manager of the store. I wrote to congratulate him, and the response I got should cause Boston-area knitters to shake their needles with joy.
He's been working at the shop in a part-time capacity since 2001. He's a hardcore knitter. He knows what it's like to be a customer. He knows advertising, merchandising, marketing, etc at a professional level. And he's been given a mandate to do with the place as he sees fit. His goal? "I envision empowering people with a belief in themselves and their own creativity."
I read Sean's message to Dolores. "That's very touching," she said. "Ask him again what his vision is after somebody's kid barfs up Juicy Juice on the Rowan display."
(Dolores is not having a good week. She's got a bad cold and refuses to do anything but lie on the sofa drinking orange juice, reading Germain Greer and writing disgruntled letters to the editors of Vogue Knitting and The Economist.)
Anyhow, Sean, if you're reading this: congratulations, and good luck. Also, I was digging around in my stash and found that I still have a full skein of that blue worsted. Is fifteen years too late for a return?
*I know. I can't believe it, either. What the hell can I have been doing?

Return yarn? My dear Franklin, what are you thinking?
You should be asking him if he can find you some more, so you can finally see that sweater to its happy completion.
Tell Dolores that a little vodka in her orange juice will help her on the path to wellness. Or at least help her not feel her symptoms.
(I can't decide if it's funny or exceedingly weird that I'm leaving comments for a cartoon sheep. >gasp< Franklin, don't tell Dolores I said that!) - 1:30 PM

Rub Vick on her ..ah ha how do I know you guys have "Vick" ..thank-you all the Chicano writers who mention it like Mum it's part of their life too.I can't imagine what a disgusting mess but her lanolin might dry with your heating anyhow.Mum wants to visit Boston just a bit more now ..snowball in hells chance.
- Dave Daniels said...
Yeah, Seany-baby is going to do gang busters for the store. I've been hearing from friends that they can see a big improvement already. I have a trip across the River in the next few days to see what he's been doing.
Frankling, you need an East Coast trip one of these days, huh? - 2:56 PM

I used to only knit in the winter and cross stitch during the summer. I haven't picked up a cross stitch project in a long, long time, now.
A Ukranian friend of mine recommends putting a vodka-soaked towel around your neck for sore throats which is what his mother used to do when he was a child. I'm not sure if the vodka touching your neck had any effect or if it was the inhaling the fumes that just made you not care anymore. I'm sure Dolores would think it was a waste of perfectly good vodka, though. - 3:40 PM

I don't think any of us ever forget the first time we set foot in a knitting store...I think I may have to blog about this.
Good topic, dear! - 3:54 PM
- Sean said...
OF course we'd be happy to take the return...provided you have the receipt ;0)
Thanks for the platitudes...did I really say that? It sounds great!!
Right now I'm tired. We just received a new yarn Ella Rae...40 colors, 40 skeins of each...yup that's right 1600 skeins to sticker and put away. OH my aching back! - 3:56 PM

I can remember knitting a baby dolls hat in Primary One age 5. It was a yellowy orange speckled "yarn" that I thought looked wonderful, but well looked awful.
I got bored half way through and asked the teacher to finish it for me - I was sent back to my seat to finish myself.
A new Yarn shop opened in my town, and I thought, yes, some decent yarn, Debbie Bliss, Rowan, Lana Grosso, Noro.
She cancelled (CANCELLED) her Debbie Bliss order cos they didn't deliver on time. They rest is , bad, apart from some Lana Grosso. Back to the internet! - 5:30 PM
- Angel said...
Woolcott was the first place I ever bought yarn from myself- a weaver friend (who occasionally knit) took me there and I bought four skeins of purple wool yarn for a scarf. I never finished the scarf btw- kind of like your sweater. (the first project I ever finished was a hat in the round- I think a hat makes better beginner knitting in the round- you learn circular knitting, decreases, and dealing with double points.)
I loved woolcott- I miss the coziness of that store in the square. - 8:00 PM
- sahara said...
Wow, there's hope.
Gosh, I have to think about the first time I went to a yarn store for myself. Does Woolworth's count? - 10:11 PM
- amysue said...
Woolcott's in Cambridge and Putting on the KNitz in West NEwton were my first shops! I still duck into Woolcott's when I can and am thrilled that Sean will be there!
- LornaJay said...
Dolores will probably feel better with Green Chartreuse rather than OJ. It may not improve the cold, but she will feel better....
- Cynthia said...
Aren't the editors of Knitter's and The Economist the same people?
My first yarn shop experience was wonderful--I was told that knitting was easy, color changes simple and spent way too much money. Thanks Lee for making me think this addiction was easy, it kept me going. - 10:20 AM
- Anonymous said...
I want to be Dolores when I grow up. Does she take apprentices?
- edie said...
Hey, Franklin. I seem to be developing a bad habit: at knitting events, I find myself staying up late in my hotel room reading your blog. I gave it up non-essential internet use for Lent, but here I am again.
Cheers from Oakland!

Having been into Woolcott recently myself, I can vouch for some major recent improvements. Good job, Sean! :)

Chevron Panel Ponte Dress
Very pretty but...
Just got this dress yesterday & it's really nice but I wish it had some lining. I usually wear an XS, am 5'3" & weigh 110 lbs. but the material is not thick enough for the tummy area. I don't have washboard abs, but it is at least flat but you can still see a little bit of a pooch. I know I can't return it, but not sure what would help underneath so that it's not uncomfortable or hot.

This dress has a very nice design, But the size is way bigger than what it should be. I always ware a large from Bebe. But this dress is extra large !
All mail orders should have a standard sizing because we cannot try it on before we purchase them.
July 2, 2013
So beautiful!
My favorite parts of this dress have to be the neckline and the waist. They fit perfect to make your shape proportioned no matter what type of body style you have. I am 5'4" and weigh between 110-113 and a small was great. considering this dress is quite fitted in areas. Great quality too! I plan to wear it all summer!
June 1, 2013
Great Fit
If you're looking for a dress that hugs your curves...well ladies this is the one for u...I love the plunging neckline that shows off the girls just right. I don't have washboard abs and this dress holds the midsection in really good...it's the right length(not too short..not too long)..u will definitely turn heads in this one!
May 8, 2013
Great Dress!
The dress is amazing hugs in all the right places and is a good look for dinner out or evening work event. I am not generously endowed in the rear section and the dress flatters and doesn't make you look like an ironing board...just sayin'. Waist also looks tiny which is ALWAYS a plus.

"We do some demonstrations, such as a banana ice cream tasting, to let people try an Equal Exchange Fair Trade banana in the store," she said.
The company has demonstrations, training sessions and special displays planned for Fair Trade month.
They are working with a lot of stores to create end cap displays to highlight small business, Fair Trade products.
"We've done this type of display for several years, and it has always been successful to raise awareness for Fair Trade products," Jones-Hughes said.
They will also be making appearances at stores and co-ops down the East Coast and in the Twin Cities, according to Jones-Hughes.
The company hopes these efforts will increase consumer awareness and create a lasting impact.
"Through all this, we're hoping to be able to move more volume for small-scale farmer co-ops in the long term," she said.

A Classic Jersey hallmarked with cycling's glory and suffering
The Kings of Pain are not just the famous names with renowned victories, but the men of pure grit who rode all-day escapes, sacrificing everything for their team, and the icons who combed their hair for the finish line photographers. Rapha marked its inception in 2004 with an exhibition to honour these riders who defined the values and ethos of the sport, an event celebrated in this garment.
Rapha introduced the Classic Jersey at this exhibition – it was an innovation that soon became a genre-defining product. The Kings of Pain jersey builds on the much-lauded Classic Jersey with specially designed hallmark motifs that represent the quintessential qualities of the Kings of Pain.
There is also panelling across the back that echoes the days before neutral service when those 'Giants of the Road' would carry tyres on their shoulders. The Kings of Pain jersey uses the same Sportwool as the Classic Jersey but with a smoother face finish, a snap-fastened folding collar, and tonal Rapha armstripe. The jersey has a full-length YKK Excella® zip, hand polished for optimum efficiency.
The five hallmark designs representing the Kings of Pain:
- Convicts of the Road stripes
- Blood, sweat, tears and mud
- Kings of Pain logo
- King's crown reminiscent of older hallmarks
- Arrowhead based on a benchmark used to brand convicts
Key features:
- Full YKK Excella® zip
- Adjustable hem and cargo pockets
- Embroidered Kings of Pain hallmarks
- Kings of Pain story label
- Classic cut, for all-day riding
- Fold-up collar with snap fasteners

subordinated debt is significantly difffernt)
European Banksa** Subordinated Debt May Be Downgraded by Moodya**s
November 29, 2011, 4:42 AM EST
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Banks in 15 European nations, including the largest
lenders in France, Italy and Spain, may have their subordinated debt
ratings cut by Moodya**s Investors Service Inc. to reflect the potential
removal of government support.
All subordinated, junior-subordinated and Tier 3 debt ratings of 87 banks
in countries where the subordinated debt incorporates an assumption of
government support were placed on review for downgrade, the ratings
company said in a statement today. The subordinated debt may be cut on
average by two levels, with the rest lowered by one grade, Moodya**s said.
Lenders in Spain, Italy, Austria and France have the most ratings to be
reviewed as governments in Europe face limited financial flexibility and
consider reducing support to creditors, the rating company said. Moodya**s
has said that a a**rapid escalationa** of Europea**s sovereign debt crisis
threatens the entire region. U.S. President Barack Obama renewed pressure
on European leaders to prevent a dismantling of the euro.
a**Systemic support for subordinated debt may no longer be sufficiently
predictable or reliable to be a sound basis for incorporating uplift into
Moodya**s ratings,a** the company said in the statement.
The Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index fell 1.7 percent
by 10:10 a.m. Central European Time, led by Dexia SA, KBC Groep and
Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The euro was little changed after the
Moodya**s announcement, trading at $1.3333 as of 9:15 a.m. in London from
$1.3320 late yesterday in New York.
BNP Paribas, UniCredit
Moodya**s said the review will include banks such as BNP Paribas SA and
Societe Generale SA, Francea**s biggest lenders, UniCredit SpA, Italya**s
largest, and Spaina**s Banco Santander SA. Zurich-based Credit Suisse AG
and UBS AG will also be assessed, according to a list of lenders published
by Moodya**s.
Agreeing on a sufficient response to Europea**s problems is of a**huge
importancea** to the U.S., Obama told reporters after meeting yesterday
with European Union President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission
President JosA(c) Barroso. Finance chiefs from the 17-member euro area
will gather in Brussels today to discuss how the European Financial
Stability Facility will boost its muscle by insuring sovereign debt with
Economists from banks including Morgan Stanley, UBS and Nomura Holdings
Inc. said over the past week that governments and the European Central
Bank must step up their response.
Nomura, Japana**s largest brokerage, said in a statement late yesterday
that it reduced assets linked to Italy by 83 percent from the end of
September, and cut the value of assets linked to Spain by 62 percent.
Greek holdings were slashed 43 percent.
a**Stark Trade-Offa**
a**Policy makers are increasingly unwilling and/or constrained in their
support for all classes of creditors, in particular for subordinated debt
holders,a** Moodya**s said today.
There have also been cases where countries have a**faced an increasingly
stark trade-off between the need to preserve confidence in their banking
systems and the need to protect their own balance sheets,a** the statement
Banks will cut bond sales by 60 percent in Europe next year as the
sovereign debt crisis drives up issuance costs, Societe Generale predicts.
Lenders will sell 50 billion euros ($67 billion) of senior notes, down

the French bank.

Standard and Poor's cuts ratings for top US banks
29 November 2011 - 23H26
AFP - Ratings agency Standard & Poor's on Tuesday said it had downgraded
the ratings of major US banks, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Wells
Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America.
The firm said it had revisited ratings on 37 of the world's largest
banks, part of a process of "applying its new ratings criteria for
S&P announced revised criteria to simplify ratings last week, after more
than a year of study.
The changes reassess risk associated with investment banking, how banks
are funded, how liquid banks are and their capital standards.
Part of the rationale for the move was to allow more room for banks to
improve their ratings, if their finances were deemed more secure.
The ratings agencies were heavily criticized for failing to spot the
2008 financial crisis as it approached.
Although Tuesday's move was broadly expected, it sent shares in each
firm down in after-hours trade.
Goldman Sachs shares fell 1.0 percent in after-hours trade, Bank of
America and Citi were down 0.6 percent, Wells Fargo was down 0.8 percent
and JPMorgan was down 0.4 percent.
Morgan Stanley was down 1.7 percent.

I loved the premiere, and I am going to continue watching. And not just because I think Cory Monteith is hot.
Being powerful is like being a man. If you have to tell someone you are, you most assuredly are not. ~ Stolen and Edited from Margaret Thatcher
I'm already addicted! Cory Monteith is absolutely adorable.
I've watched the last scene 10+ times, I find Cory sosososo cute. He's not gorgeous, his character just makes him absolutely irresistible.
I thought it was a great show! I hope they are able to keep this one going.
Automatic doors make me feel like a Jedi
I watched Glee and, while I found most of the actors quite cute, I couldn't help but recognize that all the plot lines and jokes were just taken from other movies and TV shows. The pilot started out with "Superbad" (down to the music!) while showing Jane Lynch reprising her character from Role Models. It then moved on to "Election", where each character gets their own voice over and the devote teacher proclaiming his love for teaching while attempting to get the jock into an unnatural school organization which happens to be composed of a Tracy Flick equivalent who talks about her gay dads and how they impregnated a surrogate with both their sperm at once to conceal the identity of the real father despite the fact that one is black and one is white, much like the clever joke first made in "Arrested Development". From there we get a feel for the camera work of "The Office" despite the show not being filmed in a documentary style except for where a sign posted in the teachers office contradicts his actions when blackmailing the jock to join the glee club, where his extreme talent (and ultimate enjoyment) of singing puts him at odds with his jock friends, a suspiciously familiar formula to that of every "High School Musical" movie. Maybe watching too many movies and TV shows has become bad for me as it ruins any show unoriginal enough to incorporate jokes and plot lines from many other sources.
I liked the show - really interesting concept - a musical TV show - and the characters are all likable.
The girl who plays Rachel reminds me of Idina Menzel.
I thought the show was great. The final Journey number was terrific.
The guy who plays the Spanish Teacher is hot!!
Hope this show does better in the ratings in the fall. It's one of the few shows on TV that is actually good. Hope they don't cancel it like most of the shows I like.
Something to look forward to the fall TV season to watch.
I think they have already cancelled the show do to the low viewership.
I enjoyed the show a lot! Hope it remains on the air for several seasons. The guys are hot! they look much older than high school kids. I liked the finale with the Journey song. Finally something decent on TV to watch, on Fox, nonetheless and it's not a reality show.
I'd like to see more regular shows, less reality shows. The reality shows I'm sure are cheaper to produce, but enough already. Mostly stupid dumb reality shows. And they're not reality and they're edited.
Good luck to Glee and if you liked the preview watch it in the Fall on Fox TV so it doesn't get cancelled!
Does anyone have the Justin Gaston pic of him shirtless from the pilot episode of Glee? Please post if you do.
While I highly doubt that it's cancelled already, it was never meant to air season 1 until Fall. I wouldn't be surprised if this ploy blew up in their faces. Dropping off the face of the Earth for all of Summer season it will likely be forgotten by fall and now that they've blown what must have been more than half of their marketing budget before the premiere that's gonna be an issue.
And the whole things was just so they could get the American Idol lead which didn't even help that much. It's dark sarcastic humor that's masked by the bright fuzzy feel likely deterred the 'family' viewers that idol attracts. Maybe had it started with a song and dance number then they could've pulled an idol audience in but people need stick on through to the end. The dialogue wasn't very crisp and most of the episode was in the preview so while I like it I don't think it'll fair well.
I thought it was a good episode...can't believe they're holding out on it til the fall...this would have a great companion show to So You Think You Can Dance?....after hearing "Rehab"...I was hooked......and I just have to see why the hell they were singing Goldigger
Actually, this fall Glee will be televised on Wednesdays at 9pm, following "So You Think You Can Dance".
In regards to the real-life ages of the cast as mentioned earlier, it is indeed odd that the teacher, played by Matthew Morrison is only 3 years older than actor Cory Monteith who plays jock/singer Finn. Morrison is 30 years old and Monteith is 27. Really, the other glee club members aren't that old -- Lea Michelle, who plays female lead Rachel, is 22. The male glee members Kurt (played by Chris Colfer) is 18 and the wheelchair-bound Anty (played by Kevin McHale) is 20.
I was thinking the same thing throughout the whole episode. She'd be a good one for Wicked some day.
I thought the show was funny and pretty strong for a pilot. Rachel did remind me of Tracy from Election, but then they added some more dimension to her character by making her someone who could be empathized with.
Am I the only one who does not find Jane Lynch funny at all? She just leaves me cold--I don't know if I've ever laughed at anything she's done. I'll find it easy to dislike her character when the show begins in the Fall.
even though it is totally biting other things, like "election" and "american pie," i am totally loving the show. when rachel said, "there's nothing ironic about show choir," i almost died. and it seems like kurt is going to be hilarious, i.e. the preview of him showing up on the football field and saying "i'm here to audition for the role of kicker." i hope they don't make him pine for some straightie.
I just got around to watching it. Fun 'n entertaining. I'll be tuning in when it starts in the Fall.
I loved the pilot. I can't wait for the show to start in the fall. Cory Monteith is hot...but officially, I'm watching the show for the musical numbers.
Someone asked me once how I could know that I'm gay if I've never slept with a woman. I've never shoved shards of glass into my eye, either, but I don't have to give it a shot to know that it's not for me.
I thought it was just ok, not nearly as good as Ryan Murphy's other show Nip/Tuck. But I'll probably end up watching it just for Matthew Morrison, gosh he's beautiful!
that's good...still odd that Fox is trying to gain hype on a show they ran once on the air that isn't going to show anymore new episodes til 3 months from now...I guess they are really trying to push their website for broadcasting....good luck with that...but either people are going to forget about it...or they are going to annoy us to death with ads about how its coming out this fall (and watch the first episode again and again online)
Anyone else watch it the pilot tonight? Definately was camp but in a good way. Anyone else like?
I thought it was great! Looking forward to seeing more episodes!!
"We must be the change we wish to be in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi
I love the show. I caught the premiere a few moths back on Hulu, and since then, I've been waiting for the season to officially start. I think this is a really fun show, and God knows I love me some Jane Lynch (homegirl is funny as hell). I just really want to see the episode where this Amber Riley does this performance:
I loved it...laughed a lot...the ONLY thing that annoyed me was the songs. They are fantastic but so overproduced that they don't match up with the actors singing. "Golddigger" was great but sooo didn't look like the teacher was actually singing it. And then the cheerleaders sounded like there was a full chorus behind them, not just 2 man-ish looking girls.
but other then that little gripe, I love the show, Jane Lynch and Jessalyn Gilsig are AMAZING as usual! Sad that Jane won't be on "Party Down" anymore but glad she's on another great show.
I love evrything about this show. except:
the terrible lipsynching
the wife/pregnancy subplot. It's silly, takes up too much time and has ben done to death before. When I saw next week's preview with the sister holding a plastic belly pad to fake the pregnancy, I wanted to scream.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
yah and gotta love some plot holes, like when theyre in the tub together. Because your husband, that you sleep with every night won't know you are wearing a belly pad.
As great of a show that it is, the plot is just so bad it has nowhere to develop. Get the cheer-os to start lezzing out or some hot gay action in the glee club to make it more interesting.
Loved the pilot...have my DVR set to record the show. Plus, the Glee teacher is HOT!
Yeah, I thought the singing voices were terribly dubbed in.
I find the storyline of the teacher and his controlling wife super boring. He should just hook up with the redheaded-Anna Faris and get it over with.
Whatever happened to that white dog poop from the '70s?
yes they actually sing...but they are pre-recorded tracks that they lipsync to when filming. I don't have a problem with it when it's like the big musical numbers (Don't Stop Believin') but when it was Gold Digger and Say A Little Prayer, when it was just a few people in the music room but it sounds like a full choir singing in an arena, it threw it off a bit for me.
and yeah the wife/pregnancy is annoying...BUT Jessalyn Gilsig is so fantastic I look past it. I just hope Ryan Murphy doesn't kill her off of this show like he killed her off of Nip/Tuck!
One of my favorite new shows of the year. Great singers, funny characters, truly entertaining all around.
Almost all singing in film and television is pre-recorded and then dubbed.
But in most films they also do post-dubbing to fix as many mistakes as they can.
They're clearly not doing that here, perhaps due to time or financial restraints.
Or perhaps the actors are just too young and inexperienced to do it well.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
Well it's not financial concerns when it comes to the poor dubbing since the episodes are costing upwards of 5 million dollars to produce. Then again, the majority of that is going to the rights for the songs so maybe there really isn't that much left over for other things like that.
Still though there's just so much to love. The cast is awesome and clearly very talented. Definitely on my top 10 list.
I have such a new obsession with this show, it's only been two episodes and I'm in love. I like anything musical though, so it was easy to pull me in. And then there is Cory Monteith and his infinite cuteness.
^Cory's cute, but I find his faux-hawked friend much hotter. I think we saw a tease of him with no shirt on.
Whatever happened to that white dog poop from the '70s?
I haven't been this excited and satisfied about a show since Buffy went off the air.
Wow, not only am I gay, but I think I might be a teenage girl.
I want to like this show more than I do. It has some hilarious moments (Finn's flashback, most of the time Jane Lynch is on screen) and I enjoy some of the musical numbers alot (Don't Stop Believing was incredible) but something just doesn't resonate with me. I can't help but notice both the gay character and the black character are total stereotypes, all the women seem to define themselves by their need for the men, who have the luxury of being normal in a world where are the women are just inexplicably one sided and zany. It's like I LOVE quirky shows with quirky characters. But Glee's not set up like most shows I've seen pull off the quirky/hyperboyle character matrix: it's not one real person in a world of hyperboyle (Arrested Development), or real people from an off beat exaggerated world (Pushing Daisies), or the real world with a few incredibly quirky characters sprinkled in (Buffy). Glee is some bizarre and unsatisfying half and half situation that just makes you wonder... why the hell doesn't he just DUMP glue gun bitch, or why doesn't Finn tell Cheerleader McBitchy to kick rocks. These women have no redeeming qualities so the relationships they have are just puzzling.
It's not just the women, falcon. The PE coach is thick-headed and smokes pot. The seemingly earnest and caring lead character planted marijuana in the jock's locker and blackmailed him to join the glee club. The jock is a horny dullard who still lets friends torment geeks. The other jocks are all stereotypical pricks. The former glee club sponsor was a closeted gay guy. The principal is a tightwad.
The show's humor is based on all of these high school stereotypes banging up against each other. I think the weird disconnect you might be feelings is that it also then tries to play it straight and sincere in some of the musical numbers and the characters' feelings. It's almost like the moral tacked on at the end of every South Park episode. It's a somewhat schizo little show.
Love it.
I would disagree. The things youre pointing out, isolated incidents that are barely mentioned in characters that over all appeal to be much more whole and noraml, are nothign compared to the insanity of Jane Lynch's militant characters, Rachel's absolutely obsessive lust for fame, Terri's atrocious avarice, or the head cheerleaders boundless need for popularity... these character traits DEFINE characters. They are motivating factors for the central female characters and many (materialism and popularity often pegged as negative stereotypes about women (you know those catty wenches LOVE to shop).
Where as things you describes, the fact a teacher smokes pot or that Schuster was willing to frame Finn to get him in Glee they're events not the kind of traits that consume a character. You're correct in your note about Finn's teammate being extremely stereotypical of jocks. I don't know why I didn't notice that maybe because Finn provides a blance for the jock stereotype while all the cheerleaders still move as a unit.
watching the shoe right now - missed it on wednesday
cute boys
good singing
funny likeable characters
the lead girl singer is amazing - what a great voice - so she's in love with the lead guy? he's cute
i have it on my dvr
Well, considering the audience this show targets the most, teen girls, the female stereotypes/quirks are probably quite deliberate. They're likely to identify with, or at least recognize, people like these characters.
I don't dismiss the males' bad traits as quickly as you do; I think they're pretty defining as well. It's not like we've seen much depth on anyone's part, and even the two guys we're supposed to be rooting for are stereotypes. I'm willing to give this show many more episodes before jumping to the idea that it's misogynist--we're only two episodes in, after all.
Besides, the music is pretty.
LOVED IT!!! It was really good. I look at TV strictly for entertainment. I try very hard to not disect every little thing about the show. And just enjoy it.
"I'm Beginning To Love Myself A Little More Everyday"
I agree it needs more time. I mean critics love it. It's got it's moments. I WANT to like it but whenever the Schuster/bitch wife storyline or Finn/Bitch girlfriend storyline comes up I can't help but think... shut up and get on with this already. If you're going to have such staunch and unsympathizable characters they really should be used for comedy (ie Lynch's character) not for someone we'd have to reasonably expect the protagonists care about.
While I want see where Finn/girlfriend goes, I completely agree on Schuster/Bitch wife. The girlfriend tonight showed she has a soft side in wanting to get her boyfriend back--she actually looked vulnerable rather than calculating. But the wife is such a one note character and completely unlikeable.
I watched the pilot and episode 2 a few days ago.
I think it's a really fun show with a lot of potential. But I can't really see how they'll keep it fresh for more than a season (if it gets picked up).
Also, like others have already mentioned, the lip synching is awful. Perhaps this is being done on purpose to add to the cheesiness of the show.
I have a crush on the bully guy "Puck" or whatever his name is.
LMAO. I have no idea what's going on in this clip. Amber is in love with him? Wtf.
" They are gonna throw fruit at us and I just had a facial".
Not bad at all, it will take a couple more episodes to lock me in to the show but a good start. I love coach Sue.

You may have to stop feeding the dog to help pay for the extra bandwidth.'With great speed comes great cost'
"Combine the realities of multimedia file size and a blazing fast connection that allows transfer of said files at unprecedented speeds, and you have a recipe for potentially expensive disaster. One careless download of a 1080p high-definition movie from the iTunes Store over 4G could eat up your entire monthly plan and then some. In fact, if you could achieve download speeds at the theoretical maximum 72Mbps of LTE, you could blow through a 5GB plan in just under 10 minutes, and Verizon's largest 10GB tier in about 20."

What to Look For
The recommended relative humidity for a home is between 30 and 50 percent. Moist, soupy air can breed mold and other potential hazards for indoor air quality and human health.
Dry air, on the other hand, cracks the skin and can necessitate a medicine cabinet full of moisturizing products, which may not all be eco-friendly. A lack of moisture in the air also dries out mucous membranes, which can increase your vulnerability to colds and irritate chronic conditions like asthma.
Eco-savvy shoppers can start simply by looking for an Energy Star label, bestowed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to designate energy-efficient products.
Energy Star humidifiers and dehumidifiers work just as well as non-rated products at removing moisture from the air. But choosing an Energy Star-rated dehumidifier can save an estimated $20 per year, or $230 during the unit's entire lifetime. Along with those savings comes a corresponding decrease in total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions—making these products 10 to 20 percent greener than their non-rated equivalents.
Humidifiers use more energy than you might think. Non-qualified models can burn as much juice as your home's most environmentally costly appliances—like the refrigerator.
How to make a good choice:
Humidistat: Make sure the humidifier you choose has a built-in humidistat. This feature allows you to set your desired humidity level and programs the unit to turn on and off automatically to maintain that level, so it won't run when it's not needed.
Energy use: The more air you're dehumidifying, the more the more energy you're going to burn. So shoppers can score some major eco-benefits simply by taking the time to estimate their needs accurately, and not exceeding them.
Energy Star has produced a calculator to help consumers estimate the size and capacity of the dehumidifier they'll need, as well as the energy and money they can save.

YOSHI'S: I've been out on the West Coast catching some fantastic music. On the Jazz side, the highlight has to be Yoshi's in San Francisco on Fillmore.
In a dream, the Riddler and Alex Trabek asked for this Saturday night's drunk drive time shift theme - songs and quotes that ask a question.
Story by Sharon Armstrong.
A guitarist, a bassist, a drummer and a mandolin player all walk into a bar in San Francisco – what do you get? The answer is the distinctly New Orleans blending of funk, roots music and country that is the Honey Island Swamp Band.
Last week I had a "killing two birds with one stone" trip. I got a chance to visit with one of my oldest friends, Leon Anderson and his family, in Detroit, Michigan. And I also got the advantage of attending all four days of the Detroit Jazz Festival.
Another not-so-special show by Jamie using topical sound clips and music about "lying" to prove ...
Well wait, this requires some background before the blockbuster news story of the year:
During the last week's joint session of Congress, Congressman Joe Wilson heckled President Obama by shouting, "You Lie" during Obama's speech. It sounded dead-on familiar to me - but from 20 years ago!
Tune in Wednesday night September 9th (09-09-09) for a special "Number 9" show celebrating the number nine.
Join us at a special time of 9:00 p.m. as we play music with a NINE association. We may even spin some backwards. Does this make it a 6 association?????????
We will have special guest from the 9th Ward dropping in. We may even have guest from the 6th Ward as well!
It started with that HUH! that was worked your core better than Pilates. It was the key ingredient in mambo music and the mambo was so popular that it worked itself into every musical style imaginable. R&B, blues, jazz and yep plenty of New Orleans music including the classic Mardi Gras Mambo.
Everything He Did Was Funky: Lee Dorsey - a radio documentary produced by David Kunian has its rough mix premiere tonight - Wednesday 8/19/09 10 PM CST - on WWOZ 90.7 FM www.wwoz.org.

Do right-to-carry laws cut crime? Debate has raged at U. of C.
BY FRANK MAIN Staff firstname.lastname@example.com December 11, 2012 10:48PM
Updated: January 13, 2013 6:20AM
The debate over whether right-to-carry laws reduce crime has raged for more than a decade in academic circles — especially at the University of Chicago.
In 1998, then-University of Chicago economist John Lott heated up the debate with his book "More Guns, Less Crime." His premise: Guns do more good than harm.
His controversial study of more than 3,000 U.S. counties from 1977 to 1992 found violent crime fell after states passed laws giving people the right to carry concealed handguns.
Lott also studied mass shooting deaths and injuries in 14 states that adopted right-to-carry laws between 1987 and 1995.
Before the states passed right-to-carry laws, their number of mass shootings per 100,000 people was .0136. After they passed right-to-carry legislation, that figure dropped to .002 per 100,000 people — an 84 percent drop, his study found.
"Freakonomics" author Steven Levitt, a University of Chicago economics professor, was among those academics to challenge Lott's findings.
In 2006, Lott filed a lawsuit in federal court saying Levitt defamed him in "Freakonomics" when he wrote that other scholars were unable to replicate Lott's research linking lower crime rates with the right to bear arms.
In the best-selling book, Levitt called Lott a "lightning rod for gun controversy."
The two scholars reached a settlement in 2009 when Levitt agreed to issue a statement acknowledging Lott's work was peer-reviewed by other academics, including Levitt. Then, Lott tried to refile his lawsuit, and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that he wasn't defamed.
David Hemenway, a Harvard professor of public health, has said he doesn't think either side can prove the effect of concealed carry laws on crime.
Hemenway, a noted expert on gun violence, has pointed to a 2004 study by the National Research Council that found "no credible evidence that passage of right-to-carry laws increases or decreases violent crime."

I recently tried out Breyers Light Boosts Immunity Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt, which was absolutely divine. I wanted to try another flavor in this line, so this time around, I decided to give my favorite flavor of yogurt a try, Black Cherry.
Once again, Breyers hit a home run. The yogurt was creamy, flavorful, and had little pieces of black cherries sprinkled through it to keep things interesting. It felt more like I was tasting a yummy dessert than some yogurt. Although I had this plain, I imagine it would be just as tasty in a smoothie, mixed into oatmeal, or topped with some Kashi cereal for a nice crunch.
Each 6 ounce serving of Breyers Light Boost Immunity Black Cherry Jubilee Yogurt provides 80 calories, no fat, 4% of the daily value for sodium (90 mg), 6 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrates which includes 8 grams of sugar. Each serving also provides 20% of the RDA for calcium and vitamin D.
I purchased this yogurt for 50 cents, on sale at my local grocer (regularly retails for 79 cents), and I would most definitely buy this one again, even if it were not on sale!

If you've tried different models, what is the best or recommended INDOOR antenna for receiving OTA signal on a HDTV? asked Jul 14 '11 at 10:53 hobbes |
Antennas Direct Clear Stream 2 - long range HDTV antenna I've tried the table tops (Terk) and there is a narrow range before you get some interference. I mounted the Clear Stream 2 in the antic and lined it up in the general direction of the transmission source. Since installation, I have not made any adjustments. Comes with 50 feet of cable. I would add a splitter so that another HDTV can be added in the future. Takes longer to unpack than to set it up. linkanswered Jul 14 '11 at 14:14 Gryhze |
1 Selling Antenna on Amazon is the Leaf Indoor AntennaIt only takes 5 minutes to plugin and you'll gain access to local television shows and several HD Major Network TV Stations – such as NBC, CBS, ABC & FOX. You can also get a 5$ off promo code at killthecablebill linkanswered Jul 19 '11 at 14:43 |
In our living room, I have a "flat" hdtv antenna, not unlike this RCA model from Amazon. It works okay, if it is set high up above the TV (the straight line to our metro stations is behind a hill). My wife hates the antenna protruding above the TV, and invariable puts it in the "correct" spot, until there is a show she really wants to watch and the reception is terrible. But, the best OTA digital antenna was made from wire coat hangers and scrap lumber. It's ugly, but I have one hidden in the rafters in the basement, and it consistently outperforms the commercial set top antennas I have tested. The reception is always clear, and I know that it is sitting in a worse location than my flat antenna upstairs. If you could hide it near your TV, I would spend a few bucks and try to make one. (You can find several versions by googling "coat hanger antenna," including this video). linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 18:42 |
