Noooooooo!! Just when it seemed like things might be going well. This can't be. |
I am really not happy. It was obvious for those few seconds what was coming but I was hoping to be wrong. |
I read somewhere, that he wasn't yet signed for next season. Guess we know why, now. |

This might be a spoiler alert--- . It happened because the show is losing a cast member. |
Yes, I heard he was leaving but I thought maybe he'd go to America to make a fortune in business next season. Sniffle. Looks like Rose is coming to DA to stir things up. |
mare - wish I had known that and then it wouldn't have been such a shock. maire_cate - I guess you aren't being a smarty but that I am being touchy? |
Glad I watched Revenge! |
Sorry! I'm better now. LOL |
Well that was a roller coaster ride, whew!!!!! I guess it's a done deal now and Maggie won't be back alas!!!! |
What? I thought I heard her say on 60 minutes that she was definitely filming season 4 right now. |

When he originally signed the contract to be in the show, he said he would not do more than 3 seasons. I understand Sybil also wanted out. Babies, and 3 marriageable people who are now without SOs. Edith is going to lead a scandalous life, it seems. |

Moonie - I'm pretty sure you're correct - she did say on 60 Minutes that she's back for season 4 - which they're filming now. I wasn't trying to be smart - I was just worried about saying too much in case others hadn't watched the episode yet. Glad you're OK too. |

I am sad he died..I loved his character. I wonder who will be introduced to sort of take his place? Rose as a young pretty unmarried girl will fill the spot Sybil used to play. I also noticed they sort of made Thomas a redeemed character instead of a villian. I wonder if that will continue in season 4? Joann |

It was too predictable. It annoyed me because otherwise the writing is so great. |

Habitual lurker popping in... I read an article about a month or so ago that stated that Dan Stevens, the actor who plays Matthew, wanted off the show. So it would appear the writers had very little choice in the matter. :S So disappointing, because Matthew was the only person who could make Lady Mary particularly likeable! Wonder what Season 4 will bring. |
Dan Stevens wanted to end his contract and went to NYC to appear in a play "The Heiress" which closed in 4 months. I guess he did not want to be typed cast....Who knows why he left. But I agree with Knitforbrains above the writers had very little choice. I still like Downtown Abbey. As a matter of fact I think next season will be very interesting....on with the show. I love the actors, writers, production and the castle. |
Neither Matthew nor Sybil wanted to sign a contract extension... he's currently on Broadway! Fellowes tried to get him to come back for a few episodes next year.. |

They could have put him in a coma or some such thing where they could bring him back if they wanted to. Death is so final. Maggie said they would never kill her off, they would send her to the seaside. If they could do it for her character, they could have done it for Matthew, too. |
The problem is, he wanted to leave and didn't want to come back whether they wanted him to or not. So they had to make it clear that wasn't going to happen. |

Broken Projector: Telling Tales Out Of School
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on August 30, 2013 | Comments (2)It's the time of year when children head back to campus, but even if you've already graduated, it's still easy to get into the trapper keeper mindset with movies. Beloved culture commentator Matt Patches joins us to celebrate and dissect the greatest movies about school (and escaping it) as we attempt to pinpoint the film that best encapsulates all the feelings we had waiting to be saved by the bell. Plus, Lords of Salem director Rob Zombie joins us to explain making bad career choices as a viable career choice (including his forthcoming hockey movie), we deliver the news in only 3 words, and then we leave the kind words at home for the giant kind of shouting debate that Ben Affleck's Batman casting deserves. You should follow Rob Zombie (@robzombie), Matt Patches (@misterpatches), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more fun stuff on a daily basis. And, as always, if you like the show (or hate it with seething fervor), please help us out with a review. Download Episode #31 Directly Or subscribe Through iTunes
Try to picture this: it's ten years from now, and Ben Affleck has shaken off the hatred he earned for signing up to play a superhero by carefully choosing his acting and directing projects. In a rebound of public opinion, he's delivered several trenchant performances — fulfilling the potential he showed back in the 90s — and crafted several prestigious films that prove his salt as a storyteller. With that, welcome to 2013, Daredevil haters. It's good to have you here.

Ms Annie Hastur
Senior Member
Annie jumped up, pinky and Tibbers in her arms. She'd hurry off after the two wordlessly.
After a few minutes of what seemed like wandering, the three would have reached the room. It was the first door in the hallways preceeding the Grand Library. "Alright here we are," Alice started, opening the door, "Home sweet home." Inside there was a few candle lights that had apparently been burning for quite some time, a single queen sized bed that still needed to be made, and a small desk with scattered books from the library. The rest of the room was simply a large mostly empty space. "Alice you left the lights on again," Sam remarked as they walked in, "Anyway, welcome to our little room. If there's not enough room out here for ya, we never use the closet." "Yea, and it's huge," Alice pointed out, opening the closet door next to the bathroom, "Large enough to set up another bed and a desk if you ever wanted to."
"I'll just stand here." Annie just kinda does that, standing next to the door, out of the way of things wearing her usual scowl.
Annie moves over and sits on the bed, scowling as always. "I dont want you to inform them, my room is trashed, and I'll get a new one, so that roof can be broken a few more times." She bounces a teeny bit, still sitting. "So, what do you two do, exactly?"
"Well Sam constantly reads to try to learn more for her job," Alice explained, "And I simply practice my magic." Alice formed a semi-transparent deck of cards, "Perhaps we could play a game? Just until someone comes by to ask something...or whatever it is you're room was set up for."
Ask the String
A letter would arrive for Annie, signed by the Maven herself. Luckily the messanger was smart enough to deliver it to Alice and Sam's room.
Pinky sees the deck of cards and he disappears into the closet, coming out wearing the classic poker player attire. He then seats himself onto the bed.
"Eh, sure. You dealing?" She asked, pulling her poker hat our of her backpack while she read Sona's note. She'd be sure to attend later. But for now... "Blackjack, poker? What're we doing?"
"I'd say a few hands of Blackjack to get things started," Alice started as she formed a small table in the middle of the room. "You know what, deal me in to," Sam exclaimed as she stood over by the table. Alice smirked, "Alright so 3 players...play for money?" "What money?" Sam asked, "You spent our last gold on that romantic dinner a couple nights ago rememnber." "Oh right....Well how shale we make this interesting then?" Alice asked, looking over at Annie and Pinky.

Hey, So im trying to step up to all grain brewing. I love hoppy beers so my first all grain brew is going to be 115th dream hopbursted IPA that i got from northernbrewer.com () Im planning on making a mlt out of a 10gal rubbermaid cooler using one of the many great tutorials on the forum. I have also been doing a lot of research but i wanted to start a thread to make sure i know what im doing before brew day comes. Ive selected the Wyeast 1056 American Ale option and will be doing a yeast starter. From looking at the kit i have 17lbs of grain. At a 1.5qt/lb water to grain ratio that would be 6.375 (say 6.5) gallons of water. My questions come in with the mash process. So im thinking that i put the grains in the mash tun, and pour over 6.5 gallons of 165degF water which should give me a final temp of between 150-155 (recipe calls for 152). Stir that up for about 10 mins and then close the lid and let it sit for an hour. After that drain off a couple quarts and pour back into the mash tun until the wort runs clear. Drain off until there is about an inch of wort over the grain bed and pour in about 2.5 of sparge water. I dont know what temp the sparge water should be. says mashout at 170 should this be my sparge water temp? I was using the ********.xls and i should end up with 6.25ish gallons of wort which should leave me with about 5.25 gallons after boil off. Does this sound right? am i missing anything? I just realized that my brew kettle is way undersized and i have to find a bigger one cheap but thats a different problem. Thanks for the help
Go lower. I would should for 150 for 75 minutes. With a beer that big 75% attenuation will still leave a lot of residual sugar and mask your hops. You're going to want to produce as ferment-able a wort as possible to showcase that hop bursting.
I always put my strike water into my mash tun first then stir in the grains. helps to avoid dough balls. Also when batch sparging you can drain your tun all the way. Your sparge water should heat the grain bed to near 170. This stops conversion and helps aid in rinsing the sugars from the mash. +1 on mashing at 150 and 75 minutes.
I suggest you increase the strike water to 2.0 gallons per lb of grain. See John Palmer's book. I found with my initial batches, I underestimated the absorption of water in the grain, and was left short. You want at least 7.0 + gal of wort before the boil. I do closer to 8.0, so set your quantity of sparge water accordingly. I want 6.0 gallons after the boil so I can leave 0.5 gallons with the hot breakup and hops in the kettle and put close to 5.5 in the fermentor. When you rack to a keg or bottle you will lose another 0.25 to 0.5 to trub. I try to finish with 5.0 gallons in my kegs. The above works for me and I'm getting good results.
holy hops. awesome
If you haven't bought the cooler yet, consider the coleman xtreme. They are cheap and have a descending floor to the spigot for awesome efficiency. Plus, 52qts or bigger is good to have if you want to get into bigger batches or larger grain bills.
