PTR Notes: Class set changes {WoW}
Feb 15th 2008 11:49AM I'm waiting for Rossi to post something about it in "Care and Feeding of..." today. But from everything I've read, Fury is getting a barely mentionable buff (offhand crits proc Flurry now, and it refreshes properly), Arms gets DR on Imp. Hamstring but supposedly better rage generation from Endless Ragelol, and Prot gets nothing at all whatsoever to make up for insane boost in caster threat from all that haste.
Ready Check: Progression {WoW}
Feb 1st 2008 3:00PM Solarian is an even greater loot pinata than Void Reaver; only trouble is, the stuff she drops is kinda "meh", whereas VR drops T5 shoulder tokens. Since WoWjutsu checks the Armory for equipped loot from bosses, and no one ever takes loot from Solarian...
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: When tanks aren't tanking {WoW}
Jan 25th 2008 3:17PM In theory, tanking should be a "core ability" for warriors, so that even heavy Arms and Fury warriors could tank if necessary. Changing Tactical Mastery was in part due to Blizzard's recognition that this was NOT the case, and that warriors ended up having to be heavily Protection -not for the sake of survivability, but for aggro generation (Shield slam, devastate, Defiance, to name just a couple abilities). While 2.3 made hybrid builds theoretically viable again, today's 35/5/21 build, for example, is by far inferior to the old 31/5/15, which could PvP, tank and DPS in PvE.
As it is, raids bring Arms and Fury warriors only for their buff/debuff utility (improved shouts, thunderclaps, Blood Frenzy), more than the actual DPS.
Boat vendors still MIA {WoW}
Jan 24th 2008 4:50PM I didn't care about the vendors one way or another (they sell stuff at "list" prices, while every other faction-affiliated vendor will give you discounts from 5-20%, so do the math), but having crews on the boats added *flavor.* As did finally changing the Teldrassil-Auberdine boat to an elvish model.
Vendors or not, bring back flavor, please. Ultimately, that's what we play the game for.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: What comes next {WoW}
Jan 18th 2008 4:55PM "Letting gear and stance do a bit more for the tank rather than having to use all your talent points in a tree to tank would go a long way."
Well said. Tanking ought to be a "core ability" of the warrior class. Instead, one almost has to have 45 points in Protection to be on par with ferals and protadins; and each talent tree pigeonholes warriors completely: PvP, PvE-DPS, or Tank (and good luck doing anything else, ever).
Hybrid warriors were viable before TBC (I used to be one); I thought they would be viable again when aggro changes to MS/BT came out, but no such luck. A hybrid build just ends up being inferior at everything.
The AV map imbalance in patch 2.3 {WoW}
Jan 17th 2008 1:18PM People, seriously, have you even *read* David's original post?
I was there when the "mutual zerg" strategy first came into being; it was calculated for a fast game, a race to the finish. There are videos out there of Horde AV victories in under 5 minutes.
Then Blizzard went ahead and made the Reinforcements change. Suddenly defense is much more important to victory. Race-to-the-boss games are a thing of the past. The terrain hasn't changed, but the WAY it is used has. The Horde has always had a defensive chokepoint (Iceblood) and an offensive chokepoint (once they take Icewing, nothing gets through that pass). When the game was a race, they would let Alliance through, because that meant fighting fewer players in Dun Baldar. Now, however, they don't have to let anything through - they can bottle up the Alliance north of Icewing and win on numbers alone. And, as David correctly points out, the only counter to this strategy would be a spirited defense at Stonehearth - which is both difficult, due to terrain issues, and counterintuitive (since the zerg game required a surrender of SH). This is why only Alliance premades that follow the "How to win in AV" strategies (outlined on this blog last month) stand a chance, and only if Horde fails at easy defense.
As for Horde players sneering at Alliance who don't queue up for being destroyed... Few people volunteer to be humiliated over and over for no gain. Would you?
Build Shop: Warrior 8/5/48 {WoW}
Dec 18th 2007 4:54PM Chris, your spec here does exactly what's advertised. Kudos!
As for a more soloing-friendly, do an 11/5/45, with Anger Management (so only 2/3 Imp. HS).
What I do for soloing/dailies is stack block value (600 or so), get a slow mainhand for heavier Devastates, an reduce my defense to around 475, so I'm on par with level 70 mobs (480 for level 71, 485 for level 72). I can't kill things fast, but they can't hurt me either, so I don't have much downtime.
Enter to win a TCG Feast of Winter's Veil set from Upper Deck and WoW Insider {WoW}
Dec 5th 2007 3:16PM Dear Greatfather Winter,
Could we have some sort of trade-in program for mounts? Folks who want to could trade in their old horse, cat, wolf, raptor, gryphon, etc. and have them peacefully retire to live out the rest of their days, rather than have this happen to them:
Children of a lesser guild {WoW}
Nov 30th 2007 12:28PM The whole concept of "casual" vs. "raider" came about because PvE progression required a commitment of time, effort, skill and supplies that only those willing and able could match. Let's say you have a guild of 15 people. Five of them are into endgame PvE, and are chomping at the bit to hit Karazhan. Three are PvPers, and do nothing but Arenas and Battlegrounds all day, and go "PvE, lol" when anyone mentions raiding, since they have Season 3 epics by now. One is into RP and never leaves Goldshire. Two are leveling lowbie alts, their old raider characters collecting dust at 60. Another three are on every third day, playing a little bit between schoolwork and exams. And one hasn't been seen in three months. The five that are into endgame PvE have two choices: find an alliance and go raiding, so as to keep hanging out with the others, or join a raiding guild that shares their goals and interests.
What right does the remainder of the guild have to complain? Not like they ever shared those five's interests anyway!
Updating the graphics of WoW {WoW}
Nov 9th 2007 2:55PM Let's be realistic. Blizzard can - and should - upgrade models at some juncture, but to change one's race? Skin color? Gender? Come on. Better models for avatars? Yes. Changing avatars completely? Not a chance.

The native peoples of the American South and West were often seen to be at odds with the westward push of American civilization. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed into power the Indian Removal Act, and subsequently created the Dawes List and the infamous Trail of Tears. These events had a profound effect on our culture and society. Join us as we take a look at this series of events and the effects they had on our shared American and Texas histories. Presentation times are 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM and the program will last approximately thirty-five to forty minutes.

Licensing possibilities
This process could be implemented as the baseline operation in the formation of most all future high strength steel production. Since no single steel supplier could supply the world's needs, exclusive licensing will not be available for this revolutionary process.
A consortium of steel companies, interacting with academia, is being organized to implement this technology. All interested in joining this consortium are welcome.

Casa Mira
An old-fashioned sweet shop established in 1842, Casa Mira is renowned for its homemade turrón, a traditional Christmas nougat made with almonds, sugar, honey, and egg whites. The shop sells the holiday candy year-round and even supplies the Spanish royal family. Inside the store, carved wood, glass display cases, and a marble counter give the space a vintage feel. Shopkeepers cut and weigh the candy to order, whether it's marzipan or popular turrón varieties like Alicante (hard), Jijona (soft), chocolate, and coconut. Casa Mira also sells fresh baked goods like shortbread and yemas de nuez (walnut and egg-yolk pastries).
Insider Tip:
Waiting in line can take hours during the Christmas season, so avoid visiting during peak hours.

'Tantive IV' & 'Fire Brigade' - released this week ?
Posted by bluemoose,News from a reliable source tells us that the new 'Tantive IV' (10198) and 'Fire Brigade' (10197) sets will be on sale in the UK LEGO Brand Stores (Milton Keynes / Bluewater / Brighton) from this Friday, 4th September. No updates on their availability in non-UK LEGO Brand Stores, or from LEGO Shop on-line at this time, but we'll post updates if and when we hear anything!
Usual caveats apply - e.g. ring ahead before making a long journey.
UPDATE - It isn't confirmed, but it looks like the US LEGO Brand stores, and probably the German LEGO Brand stores too, will also have these two sets on the shelf on Friday morning !
UPDATE #2 - Thanks to Brickset member 'cvillone' for pointing out the instructions for both these sets are now available for download (in Adobe PDF format) from LEGO.com's service pages. Thanks cvillone ! ... And now, several hours later, they have gone again.
UPDATE #3 - After a confusing mixture of dates on the LEGO Store website over the last couple of days, the Tantive IV is now available to order world-wide !

Any news about the US?
Yeah, nath8888? Why does it seem like UK is getting everything lately?
The US does get lots of LEGO before anyone else, & a lot cheaper, so, please, stop the complaining. Pretty please with a cherry on top ? ;-)
It was previously reported that the 'Fire Brigade' set would be formally announced by LEGO on 1st Sept (tomorrow).
LEGO Shop US says the Tantive IV will be available to order through the website on 9th September; LEGO Shop UK says it will be available to order on 25th September.
I read that in at least a few LEGO stores are putting green grocer on sale for about $30 off and they are making it an event on the events page so they are probobly trying to reveal a new one and then get rid of old ones at the same time. Maybe I'll go just to confirm. Note that this is only for the US. (I think)
Didn't the US LEGO store calendar say that 10197 and 10198 would be released this week as well?
The calendar given to me at the Lego Shop I visited last week lists the Fire Brigade and Tantive IV sets available at the stores Sept 4th in the U.S. Also, Green Grocer is $30 off Sept 4th-16th, and Town Plan is $25 off later in the month.
For comfirmiation: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toomuchdew/3844355430/
The instructions for 10197 and 10198 are up on lego.com under the customer service link to download replacement instructions here in the US. I also remember seeing a sign in a lego shop in Boston saying they will be out September 4.
I don't understand why everyone whines who gets what when. You've waited this long for a set, I'm sure you can wait a little longer. My only gripe would be sets specific to certain regions. I care about if it's available, not when (and pricing, of course).
That said, Tantive IV is definitely on my short-list.
I was looking on LEGO S@H for the PF train accessory pack which is supposed to have come out in August. Found nothing but i did notice the 9V speed regulator avaliable for $41.99 in the U.S. first time in a while ive seen it for the U.S. usualy its only avaliable for Denmark.
Anyone know anything about this PF trains accesory pack?
@cvillone: The instructions for these sets aren't available now, if they were before.
They *were* available to download earlier, but they have now been pulled from the LEGO site.
What the heck is Lego doing to there instructions section? It seems like all the new sets are there, then gone! Hmmm...
The instructions for BOTH these sets are NOW available from lego.com again!
Tantive IV is now available to order from the LEGO Store website, and appears to be available to all countries.
The Fire Brigade is available online in the US now too!
Both sets are now available on the UK shop at home site!
Just got Tantive IV from milton keynes store

Category: 06. Characteristics of Web Texts
From Linguistics to Human Factors
Up to this point, I have shed light on many different aspects of Web texts from a linguistic and communicative point of view. I have explained that a modern approach towards text linguistics has a broader conception of a particular piece of language; consequently, an author must also consider the context of the intended discourse that a text shall be part of. According to the communicative dilemma of written texts, the context in which a text shall be understood must be given in the text.
2007-09-28 09:56 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 07. Human FactorsHypertext
The most important characteristic of the Web in general, and – at the same time – the Web's foundation and materialisation is its 'hypertext' structure. In order to define hypertext, the simplest way is to contrast it with traditional texts, as e.g. my M.A. thesis. Reading this paper means that there is "a single linear sequence defining the order in which the text is to be read" (Nielsen 1995, p 1), that is from chapter 1 to chapter 5. "Hypertext is non-sequential; there is no single order that determines the sequence […]." (Nielsen 1995, p 1)
2007-09-25 10:47 | 06. Characteristics of Web TextsText Meets Design
After a four weeks summer break I will continue with a topic that matters much to me and to the work of our design agency. This posting is all about the relevance of Web design issues for text production, for which I will present three reasons, leading to a Web designs credo that we follow day by day.
2007-09-05 10:32 | 06. Characteristics of Web TextsLanguage selection and navigation
When publishing several language versions of the same texts on a Web site, a good translation is essential. This is no question, and I simply take it for granted. What is still important to bear in mind, however, is the fact that localisation too often is done "without knowledge of usability engineering principles or the context in which the product will be used" (Del Galdo & Nielsen 1996, p VI). Consequently, another aspect that I will discuss refers to the way the options to choose a language ought to be presented on a Web site.
2007-08-02 20:58 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 04. TerminologyHow Web Texts Meet International Users
Most of the companies that run a Web site do so because they already have many of their sales overseas, or at least plan to have so. "They don't call it World Wide Web for nothing." ( Nielsen 2000, p 313) Consequently, textual information on the Web is often given in other languages additionally to the language of the content provider. Therefore, content managers have to ensure international usability as well of their Web sites as of their Web texts. In fact, some additional aspects beyond the mere translation of web content should be considered when developing a Web site.
2007-07-19 13:40 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 02. Internet UsageFeatures of Online Discourse
Halliday & Hasan (1989) provide a useful approach derived from the field of discourse analysis that can contribute to understand the context of situation in which a text shall function. Their simple conceptual framework of three headings serves "to interpret the social context of a text, the environment in which meanings are being exchanged" ( Halliday & Hasan 1989, p 12). I consider knowing this environment as essential for the creation of Web texts in general.
2007-07-11 10:37 | 06. Characteristics of Web TextsSpeaking Geek and Other Bloopers
As I have announced in the previous posting, Johnson (2003) has identified a couple of mistakes that publishers of Web sites frequently make, as they may not be aware of the communicative dilemma of Web texts. Some very basic ideas are given in this article in order to sensitise the readers of my blog to make up their minds about something so trivial – but with an enormous impact on successful communication.
2007-07-06 22:26 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 04. TerminologyContext of Online Communication: A Communicative Dilemma
Now that we are reassured to rely on the written text for communication on the Web (see the previous posting), we may move towards another important aspect that Web authors must be aware of. Kana et al. (2003) have described a communicative dilemma of Web texts (and written text in general) that represents THE competitive challenge in writing for the Web.
2007-07-05 19:57 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 04. TerminologyThe Role of Written Text for Online Communication
According to Kana et al. (2003), critics of our modern culture find fault with lacking ambitions of people in general to read and write. If this was the case, how then can texts on the Web be communicative at all? This article shall explain how written text fits into the frame of the Web, though. Comparing the quality and manner of communication via Web texts with communication via classical text media (e.g. books) will answer the question why we still deal with written text on the Web and succeed in doing so.
2007-06-27 12:53 | 06. Characteristics of Web Texts , 02. Internet UsageWhat Actually Is a Text?
Traditionally, a text used to be understood as a piece of written language, say a poem, a novel or a single chapter in a book (see Fairclough 1995). To modern linguists a text is "[…] any instance of living language that is playing some part in a context of situation […]. It may be either spoken or written, or indeed in any other medium of expression that we like to think of" (Halliday & Hasan 1989, p 10). Essentially, a text is a semantic unit that cannot simply be "defined as being just another kind of sentence, only bigger" (Halliday & Hasan 1989, p 10). It is rather the inherent meaning that defines a unit of language a text, although this meaning is still coded in words or structures, which in turn have to be recoded in sounds or letters, as Halliday & Hasan (1989) further explain.

First look: Andrew Dice Clay in the trailer for Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine'
It's hardly a secret that I'm a fan of the Diceman, but you gotta admit that the last few Woody Allen titles are a little too #firstworldproblem for anyone who's not sniffing NPR's bunghole all day. So it's gotta be refreshing for most anyone to see Woody dish out a role to the unsung hero of '90s paranoid-insecure masculinity, a blue collar Brooklynite who everyone can probably relate to (whether they admit it or not) and whose mere existence inspired Gilbert Gottfried's arguably greatest piece of material that has made tens of thousands' ribcages bruise from laughter.
Louis CK's also in it, too, as the trailer below will reflect. "Blue Jasmine" opens in New York and Los Angeles on July 26.

We moved this year and we love the gas logs in our new house, but since the start of winter we have had a problem with them not working on cold mornings. It seems anything below 35ish is enough to render them useless. As the temp outside warms up the logs will work. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? A google search turned up nothing. |

Well, my "to buy" list has grown. Once my FN Five-seveN comes in, next is a Springfield M1A. Now I have one for after that:
Smith & Wesson Model 460V (5" barrel). I've never been a huge fan of wheelguns, but if there's any revolver I'd shoot a lot, it'll be one that's chambered for .45 Colt, .454 Casull, and .460S&W (I like big bore). :)
Anyone own a Smith .460 wheelgun yet? Opinions and comments welcome. :)

A 'New' Twist on Gift Wrapping
It's functional, beautiful, inexpensive, and earth-friendly - what could be better? The traditional Japanese art of wrapping gifts with fabric - called furoshiki - has been re-discovered and is easily demonstrated for you in Wrapagami by Jennifer Playford and in Gift Wrapping with Textiles by Chizuko Morita.
No tape, no scissors, no wasted paper - just a few simple twists and tucks, and it is oh so impressive. Your giftees will be stunned by your cleverness.
Okay, Now Read
Connie Willis returns to the time travel premise of her science fiction classic Doomsday Book and award-winning short story "Firewatch" in this year's pair of novels, Blackout and All Clear. Blackout and All Clear started as one novel, but kept growing. Now the whole story is ready for those of you who couldn't bear cliffhanging between publications.
In the mid twenty-first century, a group of Oxford scholars time travels back to observe historical events like the great plague (Doomsday Book) or the firebombing of St. Paul's Cathedral ("Firewatch"). They plan their trips carefully so as not to tip off the "contemps" to what they are doing, but as long as they're cautious, history is pretty safe from their interference.
That's the theory, anyway. But several young researchers in London during World War II are noticing odd slippages. None of them has landed quite where they were supposed to, and they have to scramble to get to their posts. Worse, their portals back to their own time won't open.
Baby, it's cold outside! The snow on the ground brings back fond memories of one of my favorite winter books as a kid:
Snow by Roy McKie and P.D. Eastman (1962).
Simple rhyming text ("I want to know if you like snow. Do you like it? Yes or no?") and word repetition ("Snow! Snow! Just look at the snow! Come out! Come out! Come out in the snow.") make this book the perfect choice for beginning readers. Illustrations by McKie and Eastman (Are You My Mother? (1960) and Go, Dog, Go! (1961) celebrate the fun and wonders of snow, and all the snow angels, sled rides, snowball fights, igloos, and snowmen that come along with it.
Your child might also like these other winter-themed Easy Reader books:
Snow Day! by Pat Lakin
Here Comes The Snow by Angela Shelf Medearis
Annie and Snowball and the Wintry Freeze by Cynthia Rylant

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol
My favorite local annual Christmas tradition opens today at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park: A Christmas Carol, based on the story by Charles Dickens. I really could see this wonderful play every year (with Kleenex in hand, of course).
A Christmas Carol was published on December 17, 1843 by a debt-ridden Charles Dickens, who hoped the sale of his small book would help support his large family and keep his creditors at bay. Its publication immediately caused a sensation, revived his writing career, and sparked a renewed interest in Christmas and its traditions that continues to this day.
In the spirit of the holiday season, curl up by the fire with one of these Dickens books, CDs, or DVDs!
Ghost Hunting for the Kids
Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson are known as the Ghost Hunters from SyFy television, but their fans know that they are also authors. Their latest book, Ghost Hunt: Chilling Tales of the Unknown (2010), is a juvenile fiction book with stories based on real-life cases. Written with tweens in mind, the stories revolve around young people facing and solving paranormal mysteries, but the book certainly appeals to adults as well.
Following the stories is "The Ghost Hunt Guide". It's a very thorough instructive guide to paranormal investigation, not just for kids but for anyone interested in the subject.
There is a companion web site for the book, full of real-life evidence and instructions for paranormal investigating. It's lots of fun, and will serve to feed the interests of anyone already into the paranormal and also tame the fears of those who are afraid of it.
The Lark Shall Sing
One of the library customers I email with regularly about books recommended the works of Elizabeth Cadell to me, and I can already tell, halfway through The Lark Shall Sing, the first one I picked up, that they're going to be my new cozy reads. Cadell is one of those mid-century minor English novelists whose works are such quirky, small delights. Gently comic romances are sometimes just the right cup of tea.
I believe some of Cadell's works are set in Spain and Portugal (she herself was born in India), but Lark is set in the English countryside in the classic manner. The oldest sister of a scattered family decides to sell the family home, and the clan converges by train, bicycle, motorcycle-with-doddery-sidecar, and the Rolls Royce of a passing film star, to protest. You and I can both guess how it's going to turn out.
So if you're stressed out by the holidays, or if you just love Flavia de Luce and Cassandra Mortmain try Cadell. And let me know your favorites, since I'll be working my way through!
Sorry, no cover illustration for this one--they seem to have mostly lapsed out of print, so I couldn't pull an illustration from my usual sources. Such a good thing the books are still in libraries!
Midwestern Gothic
Southern Indiana's French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs, with their famed 'healing' waters, provide the perfect setting for a deliciously creepy Midwestern Gothic novel by Michael Koryta. (I first spotted this title on the miraculously clever blog of our own Mercantile Library over on Walnut St.)
So Cold the River contains the essential aspects of a gothic novel: a flawed hero, a beautiful and mysterious woman, a family fortune, an element of the supernatural, and some really loathsome bad guys. Add an impending tornado and a wise old woman who is ready to meet her maker, and the set is complete. Koryta creates an icy, eerie atmosphere that amounts to storytelling at its best.
I think that my book club is going to love it.
The Thieves of Manhattan
Adam Langer's The Thieves of Manhattan is a clever and funny satire of the contemporary publishing business, with its blockbuster mania, celebrity scandals, and Oprah-annointed titles.
Ian Minot is a writer-wannabe, whose minor, character-driven tales of life as a coffeehouse waiter and writer wannabe have just not caught the imagination of any agents or publishers. His Romanian girlfriend is doing better than he is on the literary reading circuit, and even totally pretentious fakes like Blade Markham are raking in big bucks and getting booked on all the talk shows.
So when a coffeehouse customer who turns out to be another unpublished author proposes a slightly shady trick on the publishing industry, Ian eventually agrees.
Ian will rewrite Jed Roth's adventure novel about a valuable copy of The Tale of Genji stolen from a burned-out library, and he will then sell the novel to a publisher as his own memoir. Then, after the whole world has fallen for the fake (they fell for Blade Markham's ridiculous memoir, after all), he will reveal that it's fiction.
The only problem is, Roth's story has uncomfortable truths in it--uncomfortable for Ian, who finds himself attacked by vengeful criminals who think he has the priceless Japanese book.

'Shadow of the Colossus' To Beat Massive Video Game Adaptation Stigma With Guillermo Del Toro Protege
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on September 5, 2014 | Be the First To CommentAssassin's Creed and Warcraft are no longer the only two contenders in the category of eminent video game movies that might not suck. A third possibility with some unbelievable muscle has just joined the fray. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Guillermo del Toro protege Andres Muschietti (Mama) has signed on to turn the Playstation 2 game Shadow of the Colossus into a jumbo tentpole for Sony, which includes him overseeing the script being written by Seth Lochhead. For those unfamiliar with the game, it centers around Wander, an adventurer desperate to revive the body of a slain maiden, for some reason (the details are kept intentionally vague). To do so, he must horseback his way across a vast fantasy world, tracking a teeny glint of light reflected from his sword. When he arrives at wherever the light was pointing to, a Godzilla-sized kaiju conveniently unburies itself from the earth. Bringing down the kaiju (or "Colossi," as they're called in the game) is the object of the game. You're one guy with nothing but a horse, a sword and a bow, but the game repeatedly plops you in front of a monster whose toenails are the size of school buses and says, "Kill this, please." Usually, that involves hanging on to patches of fur and using scales as stepping stones up its body, dodging the beast's frequent attempts to pluck you off like an ant until you can bury your sword into an unprotected spot on its head.

Disney Announces Live-Action 'Jungle Book'
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on July 9, 2013 | Comments (2)Fresh off the disaster that was The Lone Ranger, Disney is hitching themselves onto another property from roughly 100 years ago- Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book." The Hollywood Reporter announced today that a live-action adaptation was moving forward, with Justin Marks writing the screenplay. Marks previously wrote a draft of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for Disney, which suggests he may be an ideal writer for such a big-budget adaptation. However, his screenplay for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li says otherwise. With any luck, The Jungle Book will resemble the former more than the latter. As of now, no other names have been attached to the film.
Podcast: The TV Show Thunderdome (Guests: Donal Logue, Justin Marks, The Bitter Script Reader)
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on April 26, 2013 | Be the First To CommentAmazon recently launched 14 TV-style pilots (including Zombieland), and they're asking users to provide feedback that will theoretically help them decide which shows to keep and what to do with them. Is it a smart move to democratize the development process or will shows end up cowering in fear below a ravenous mob of faceless. aggregated opinions? Veteran actor Donal Logue weighs in on bringing pilots to the people, shares some Copper-style 19th century Irish American history and drops a piece of advice that should make you change your mindset about finding success. Plus, Geoff wants to warn aspiring writers about the wrong way to present your work. Then, screenwriter Justin Marks and The Bitter Script Reader join us to dig way too deep into what Amazon is trying to do.

What Can Ricardo De Montreuil Do With Mark Wahlberg and More Than $5,000?
In Development By Scott Beggs on December 8, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThe Peruvian director who earned some buzz for the action-fueled, CGI chase scene The Raven will have a chance to stretch his feature length legs now that Paramount has acquired the rights for the short. The plan is to have Justin Marks (the abysmal Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) write the film as a starring vehicle for Mark Wahlberg. The concerns here are obvious. The short is fun, but it's just a chase scene, and while other shorts have had the foundation to become larger stories (like District 9), others turned out to be butter spread thin over far too much bread (like 9). The Raven doesn't seem like it has the meat to be anything more substantial, but it also has the blank slate of potential that doesn't have the burden of a plot. Either way, it's good news for directors trying to make a mark with calling cards, it's another chance for Paramount to dip into the world of sci-fi, and it's another opportunity for Mark Wahlberg to run away from something shooting at him. Check out the original short below:

Bio and Links
As you can see, I have been around Findagrave for just over 14 years! Seeing all of the changes that have happened over the years has been very exciting. Things we wished for way back when are now a reality. Memorials now look wonderful when they are so complete.
I am still � and plan to always be an
active member
of Findagrave. If that changes I will let the admins know. I do love Findagrave and have every intention of always maintaining my contributions, but I also have a very active "real" life. Since Findagrave is a volunteer website I will work on corrections as time allows. You need only send a correction one time. If some time has passed and you think the correction request may have been lost please send a second request.
I will transfer memorials within Findagrave guidelines only.
How do I get a relative's memorial transferred to me?
First, Determine if you really need the memorial transferred to you for management. Transferring of management should only be requested If you have extensive changes to make to a memorial. You can add photos and suggest corrections without having to request management. Simply having someone in your family tree is not grounds for a management transfer request. With hundreds of thousands of contributors, we have many overlapping family trees and it would be impossible for all contributors to manage their entire tree.
Second, Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations. This would be your siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Duplicates are frowned upon. DO NOT make duplicate memorials.
PLEASE use the
Suggest A Correction
tab for
memorial. Please do not compile an e-mail or "Suggest a Correction" request with several memorial requests. I am not able to search for each memorial. When you use the "Suggest A Correction" link it sends the link to the memorial along with the request. When requesting to add family links, please add the
MEMORIAL NUMBERS and THE NAMES
. Not just the names or just the numbers of the other family members. If you send just the names or just the memorial numbers the corrections will not be made. There is a high probability for error without all of the information being sent.
I will make changes and add biographical information to any of the memorials that I have added to the website.
Please remember, it is "Suggest A Correction", Not "Demand A Correction". Please also remember that every correction you send does not necessarily result in actual changes to the memorial. Sending a correction asking for copied materials such as census records or obits to be added to the memorial will not result in it being added. Please do not send them. If you want that information added, please write the information in paragraph form and send that as your correction.
From the FAQ'S
Can I add an obituary to my interment listing?
You should not copy obituary notices from newspapers to an individual's memorial record unless you have permission from the newspaper to do so or you are the author of the obituary. Some obituaries that were published in 1922 or earlier are now in the public domain. In general, obituaries in newspapers are submitted by the family with assistance from the funeral home. If the obituary is added to the memorial record, it should list the newspaper and date the obit was printed for example "Published in the Hattiesburg American, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Internet Edition, April 11, 2007". Please do not include the names of living or surviving relatives in the biography, unless you have their permission. If you do not have permission to copy an obituary to a memorial, you may put a note stating the name of the newspaper and the date the obituary was published.
Please do NOT add photographs from obituary notices (unless you, personally took the photo), as they are protected by copyright law. Find A Grave reserves the right to remove obituary notices and photographs from memorial records. Similarly, you may NOT scan an obituary and add it as a photograph to a memorial record.
Obituaries for "famous" individuals are usually written by newspaper staff and can not be posted to Find A Grave as the newspaper company owns that copyright.
Please do not include website addresses that may be listed in the obituary as they usually expire within a year after the obituary is printed.
If you need to contact me with other questions about memorials please add the topic of
in the Subject Line. If the Subject of FINDAGRAVE is not listed the email will not be opened. Please add the memorial number on all of your requests. I look forward to working with you to make each memorial as complete as possible! Thank you.

No-Cook Ideas for Summer Produce
Most produce is at its peak during the summer months. Get your fill of in-season vegetables (and take advantage of the garden fresh taste!) by preparing these all-stars au naturel. Here's how:
Asparagus. Thinly slice or, if slender, use whole.
Beets. Shred on a box grater.
Broccoli. Cut into florets or finely chop.
Corn. Cut the kernels off the cob.
Green beans and sugar snap peas. Thinly slice or use whole.
Kale and chard. Discard the stems and thinly slice the leaves.
Turnips and kohlrabi. Thinly slice or cut into matchsticks.
Zucchini and summer squash. Thinly slice or use a vegetable peeler to cut into ribbons.
See how to select, store, and cook summer produce. Plus, easy summer produce recipes.

Inspire your inner artist and create a palette of color with stila's award-winning eye shadows. Our assortment offers something for every Stila girl - from classic neutrals to the hippest, trend-setting shades in mattes and shimmers! Our award-winning shades are known for their high-quality formula and texture which can be worn wet or dry. Each sold in pans so you can create your own.
Average Price: $18
Love this product! Stila makes the best eye shadow colours and quality make up! I have used it as a base .. Beautiful colour with lasting effects!
It is pricey but worth every cent.
Love it!
I've wanted to try this eyeshadow for so long after hearing everyone on the internet rave about it. For the most part, I always have trouble with champagne colored eyeshadows on my lids. They just make my eyes look red and puffy. This eyeshadow is different. It looks AMAZING and I think I'm in love. The formulation is really nice -- the shadow is so buttery and smooth and glides on my eyes with so much pigmentation. The color is absolutely gorgeous and shiny without being too glittery. While this was a little pricey and definitely a splurge, it was totally worth it. I recommend this eyeshadow to everyone and anyone. It's perfect!
I was not a fan of this eyeshadow. The shimmer made my appearance older then I am. This got returned back to the store.
Love this product! Stila makes the best eye shadow colours and quality make up! I have used it as a base and watered it down to create a creamy shadow. Beautiful colour with lasting effects!
It is pricey but worth every cent.
Love it!
I have been using this eyeshadow since my senior year in college (2004). It is the most versatile color for any skin tone. It's great as a highlighter under the brow bone or all over lid for a natural, quick and easy look with just a touch of mascara. It's silky smooth and lasts all day!
My all-time favorite eyeshadow. Stila's shadows go on very creamy and are very opaque. Kitten is a perfect shimmery pink-beige that goes easily from day to night.
My favorite eyeshadow - I use it as a base for everything, and esp like finishing off my eye makeup with a dab of this in the inner corner of my eye
I got this eyeshadow in the mail yesterday as a part of a bigger Stila package I had ordered. As soon as I ripped open the box, the first thing I did was try the Kitten eyeshadow.
I've been reading so many good things about it lately that I just had to try it.
It is really amazing. The conistancy is really smooth and fine and the colour stayed on my eyelid all day! Without any sort of primer.
The colour is the best part. It is a nice shimmery beige/egg shell that was really flattering. Really really flattering. I instantly looked awake and fresh.
I love kitten!

Lidice collection | |
HISTORY AND NATURE OF LIDICE COLLECTION The Lidice Collection, displayed at the Lidice Gallery, constitutes an important part of the Lidice Memorial. Owing to the circumstances of its origin as well as the tortuous way the idea of a gallery was materialized, the Lidice Collection has a special and extraordinary position among the galleries and collections of the Czech Republic. This unique collection of global modern art came to being completely spontaneously, at the suggestion of a prominent representative of the "Lidice Shall Live" movement, the English doctor Sir Barnett Stross. The historical value of the collection, its origin and its impact are unparalleled in the world. In 1966 Barnett Stross made an appeal to the artists all over the world to mark the 25th anniversary of the Lidice tragedy with donations of art pieces in protest against bestial atrocities and violence. His idea met with a strong response – in 1967-69 almost 350 artefacts by 264 artists from 28 countries were received. All donated items are, and always have been, individual expressions of free will of the artists, bound by neither theme nor kind nor material nor technique. Hence, the collection is made of artefacts of various themes, forms and orientations. Besides the works responding naturally to what happened in Lidice, we can find artefacts in the collection that reflect similar violent acts against humanity, which have been perpetrated up to the present days. However, the collection does not just testify to the protest of the artistic public against war and violence, rather, it opens a view on a whole range of artistic trends, particularly of the 2nd half of the 20th century. PERMANENT EXHIBITION
At present, the ground floor of the Lidice Gallery shows a selection of art pieces from all over the world in the permanent exhibition arranged by Hana Prixová Dvorská and Luba Hédlová in co-operation with the architect Irena Brotánková. The other works of art are safely deposited in the newly established depository. When the Lidice Gallery was established in 2003 and the collection opened to the public in a permanent exhibition as had been the original intention, the collection was not only brought to the notice of the general local public, but also of the foreign visitors to Lidice. Thus, the underlying idea of its origin has come to fruition; moreover, a more general appeal has been made, referring to the ethical imperative binding also on future generations to keep the memory of the victims of Lidice as well as all other victims, so that atrocities on our planet would pass away for good.

Scott A. Hale is a research assistant and doctoral candidate at the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford, UK. I am interested in how the design of a social media platform affects the amount of information shared across language divides on that platform. I am further interested in what the effects are of increased information sharing across languages for platforms and users. While the Internet presents the opportunity to consume information from far-flung corners of the world, a natural tendency to interact with others similar to us (homophily) causes this diversity-enhancing potential of the Internet to be under realized. I am investigating both the technological and social factors around cross-language knowledge sharing.
I am currently working as a research assistant on a three-year ESRC funded research program on The Internet, Public Policy and Political Science: Collective Action, Governance and Citizen-Government Interactions in the Digital Era. I also manage the Oxford Experimental Laboratory (OxLab), which runs economic and political science laboratory and field experiments to investigate the effect of different information environments on collective action and the impact of different types of government provision on citizens' information seeking behavior.
I graduated with degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Spanish from Eckerd College, FL, USA. During my time at Eckerd, I published computer science research in the area of image processing while working on a larger research project called Darwin. After graduating, I worked in Okinawa, Japan, at the Okinawa Prefectural Education Center with public school teachers to develop English immersion curricula and with IT professionals to deliver continuing education training through the Internet to staff members and students on outlying islands. I came to the OII as a master's candidate in October 2009.
For my master's thesis, I studied one aspect of knowledge sharing: cross-lingual interaction in the blogosphere. My master's thesis constructed a dataset of over 100,000 blog entries discussing the 2010 Haitian earthquake in Spanish, Japanese, and English. I examined this set with hyperlink analysis and qualitatively coded the cross-lingual links. The thesis earned distinction, and an adapted version of the research has been published in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication.

I've been looking for a good roaster for years. I have searched this forum too, and agree with many of the opinions, particularly in the linked thread below. I've also read the reviews on Cooks Illustrated and Fine Cooking. What I would like is:
- a NON-nonstick
I thought the Calphalon Classic Roaster at Crate & Barrel would be a winner. It's dark, is non-nonstick, has no crease/divet on the bottom, and the price is reasonable. But when I looked at it in person at Crate & Barrel, it seemed very thin-bottomed, and the sides were very high. I am thinking about going on eBay and finding an old "Savory" brand roaster. Does anyone else have any suggestions? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Older Thread about Turkey Roasting Pan
Follow-Up Postings:
When my old roaster gave up the ghost about a year ago I replaced it with a Calphalon covered roaster that I've been very happy with. It's anodized, 13 x 17 inches and plenty tall when I need to cover things, and roomy when they need to be open roasted. It comes with a flat grill rack as standard. I replaced that immediately with a two-piece adjustible rack. Other than that, I like everything about it---including the price. |
I have the Calphalon Classic Roaster and love it! |
I went through the same thing looking for one for my son and his wife. I had stumbled into just the perfect one for me several years ago and he coveted it....don't remember what it was but the handles were perfect the size perfect, not non-stick so you can put it over blazing heat if you wish, and some un known brand. So for 2 years I looked for one for him....finally found it. Can't remember the brand, but it was also on close out and only about $55 or $60. I was going into these fancy kitchen shops and asking for a non non-stick pan. I wanted aluminum not stainless and it had to be small enough to fit in a normal oven and big enough for a 20 pound bird. They acted like I had 3 heads! I was looking at estate sales before I finally found what I wanted.....good luck!! Linda C |
I just re-read this thread. I am not sure my roaster is the classic. My Calphalon roaster is the anodized interior. |

CHOICE is calling on major retailers to sign up to a Fair Warranty Charter so consumers get access to the refunds, replacements or repairs they are entitled to under national laws known as statutory warranties. New research commissioned by all state, territory and Federal consumer agencies has found 50% of shoppers aren't aware they have any rights under the law on warranties or ' if they do ' what they mean. It also found consumers were out of pocket to the extent of $4.3 billion dollars during the past two years in relation to problems with faulty whitegoods, electronic items and mobile phones. Almost two-thirds of those who experienced problems reported feeling frustrated and almost half felt angry about the process they went through. Under the Trade Practices Act, consumers have the right to ask the retailer for a refund, replacement or repair if the product does not last as long as one could reasonably expect it to bearing in mind its cost. "There is widespread confusion amongst shoppers and retailers about the situation but the law is clear. Consumers have legal protection under a statutory warranty if the product is faulty or not fit for its purpose," said CHOICE spokesman Christopher Zinn. Statutory warranties differ from a manufacturer's warranty, which typically last 12 months and an extended warranty, which is sold directly by the retailer at the time of purchase. While there is no set time period in law, the statutory warranty varies according to the price, the age and the quality of the product. For example, you could reasonably expect a refrigerator to continue to work without fault for at least five years and a mobile phone perhaps two years. The National Baseline Study on Warranties and Refunds, conducted by the National Education and Information Advisory Taskforce (NEIAT), which surveyed consumers, retailers and manufacturers, found that 57% of retailers and 47% of manufacturers had no knowledge at all of consumers' rights other than the common 12-month manufacturer's warranty. CHOICE is launching a campaign at www.choice.com.au/warranties to educate consumers about their rights. The site offers a suite of tools, including a template letter consumers can send to the retailer to ask them to sign up to the charter, a script for taking action over the phone and an SMS message to take in to the retailer in order to get a better result.Read the full Fair Warranty Charter.
18 Feb 2009 | Currently most consumer contracts in Australia include non-negotiable terms and conditions. Sometimes these include unfair terms.

Gas station hearing continued, new restaurant OK'dMarch 27, 2014 |
By Chris Maza
email@example.com EAST LONGMEADOW – The hearing regarding a proposed gas station on the corner of Shaker Road and Chestnut Street has been continued again. The continuation of the hearing will take place on April 15 at 6 p.m. in the community room at the East Longmeadow Public Library. In question is a proposal made by Chalmers Enterprises, LLC, to develop the vacant lot across the street from La Fiorentina with a gas station and convenience store operated by L.E. Belcher Inc., a local fuel supplier headquartered in Springfield with locations throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont. Chalmers Enterprises is owned by the Davis family, former owners of American Saw. They were also responsible for the development of Great Woods and The Fields at Chestnut. "There are still a lot of questions that need to be addressed," Planning Director Robyn Macdonald said. "They meet the requirements for planning and zoning in terms of parking and setbacks and things of that nature, but there are still a lot of questions regarding traffic and stormwater drainage." According to the traffic study submitted with the application, there would be an estimated 1,950 trips in and out of the station's premises on an average weekday. Robert Peirent, superintendent of the Department of Public Works, was one of the major detractors to the project, stating that traffic studies related to the project were not comprehensive enough and did not factor in the increased potential for vehicular crashes as well as accidents involving pedestrians in the area. At its regularly scheduled meeting on March 25, the board voted to approve knew ownership and signage for the restaurant currently known as Spoleto, which will change names and menus in the near future. William Collins told the board that he and the current general manager of Spoleto bought out former owner Claudio Guerra and plans to take the business in a new direction under the name Center Square Grill. The change would be made as soon as all the licenses are transferred over, Collins added. "Spoleto had a great run, but in East Longmeadow there are a plethora of Italian choices and I think bringing it back a little more towards the center makes a lot of sense," he said. The new restaurant will focus on high-quality seafood and steaks and other meats butchered on site and burgers made with ground beef made on the premises. Collins said a chef from Wildwood, N.J., was hired and relocated to oversee the culinary activities. "We've already seen an improvement in the food and we're excited to roll out our new menu options," he said. Collins said the seating and layout of the restaurant would remain the same because it has "good bones" and any physical changes to the building would be limited to the decor. The board also voted to recommend several zoning bylaw amendments at the upcoming Annual Town Meeting, including one that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in the industrial garden district. Macdonald explained to Reminder Publications that in addition to that district, there is an exemption allowing them in the agricultural district, but the regulations would require that any cultivation be conducted in an enclosed facility. According the proposed bylaw, dispensaries would not be permitted within 300 feet of an existing residence or residential district; within 500 feet of any school, church, park – not including the Red Stone Rail Trail – playground, athletic field or youth center; or within 1,000 feet of any school attended by children younger than 18 years old, any licensed child care facility, any drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility, halfway house, or another dispensary. The board also approved a bylaw amendment that would prohibit businesses from renting out parking spaces. Planning Board Chair Michael Carabetta explained that the bylaw was recommended by Police Chief Douglas Mellis in order to prevent the creation of satellite lots that would be utilized to bus patrons and employees of a potential casino in the South End section of Springfield. Planning Board member George Kingston added that without the bylaw, there could be a safety issue. He used the example of the possibility of an increase in robberies committed by people targeting patrons returning to vehicles with their winnings. |
