london. Maintaining free entry to the UK's national museums, as the secretary of state for culture Jeremy Hunt blogged in December on the tenth anniversary of its introduction, doesn't come cheap: it costs around £44m a year to maintain free admission to national museums that previously charged, or around £354m in total since 1999. And yet he is happy to support it.
Why is the government backing a scheme launched in 2001 by the Labour government it routinely criticises for free-spending? The coalition is committed to reducing the country's budget deficit, which peaked at more than 10% of gross domestic product before it came to power in 2010. Yet universal free entry, which Scotland and Wales also introduced in 2001, seems sacrosanct even though cutting the deficit is one of the coalition government's mantras.Reasons to stay free When in opposition, George Osborne, now the chancellor of the exchequer, promised that a Conservative government would be committed to free entry. His pledge at Tate Britain in 2009 was repeated in the party's 2010 election manifesto. Thus the Conservatives avoided picking a fight with a powerful arts lobby, and politically well-connected national museum directors long-committed to free entry, such as the British Museum's Neil MacGregor, formerly the director of the National Gallery, Nicholas Serota, the director of the Tate, and Mark Jones, then the director of the Victoria and Albert (V&A). The latter was delighted to abolish the museum's £5 entry charge, and see visitor numbers leap from 1 million to 2.3 million in its first year. Free entry looks set to remain now that Osborne and Hunt are in power. They have little to gain from a u-turn. Backing free entry helped "detoxify" the Conservative brand, similar to its commitment to protect overseas aid. These might not win or lose voters but every little helps when seeking to lose a reputation for being the "nasty party", in the words of Theresa May, now the home secretary. Middle-class voters, particularly in the south-east of England who are most likely to visit London's big museums, expect them to be free—and resent suggestions otherwise. Hunt's predecessor Hugo Swire, who once worked at the National Gallery, blotted his copy book as shadow culture secretary, after he suggested in 2007 that directors and trustees should be able to choose whether to charge, a statement that was hastily clarified to stress the party's commitment to free admission. Currently museum directors and their trustees are in effect compelled to offer free entry by the government, not a traditional Tory position. Directors are now left in a bind. They cannot charge, reluctantly or otherwise, after the government spared them from the 25% to 40% cut in funding many feared. The cut was still considerable at 15%, announced in the spending review in 2010, which takes them to 2014/15. Something has to give: after restructuring, 20 posts went at the British Museum last year, 12 at the V&A, and 28 full and part-time staff across the Tate's galleries. Attendance boomSupporters of free entry point to its success in terms of increasing attendance. Across the UK visits have increased by 51% since 2000, statistics collected by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport reveal. Visitors are predominantly middle-class, and many in London's museums are overseas tourists. Some argue these visitors can afford to pay something, as they do for many temporary exhibitions such as Leonardo at the National Gallery (£16, until 5 February), Lucian Freud opening this month at the National Portrait Gallery (£14) or Gerhard Richter (£12.70), which closed last month at Tate Modern. Free entry has widened access, encouraging people to visit who would be put off by even a low entry charge. The number of visitors from the most disadvantaged backgrounds now make up 2.5% of the British Museum's visitors and 5% of the V&A's. When museums do charge, visitor figures plummet, as they did in the 1990s. Introducing a £7 ticket to visit the Royal Observatory led to a 55% fall in attendance (see p14). Royal Museums Greenwich's flagship, the National Maritime Museum, remains free. That said, around 50 million visitors enjoy the 50 free national museums across the UK a year. A back of the envelope calculation admittedly, but £125m could be raised if half that number paid £5 per person: useful income for hard-pressed directors struggling to balance a budget. Opponents of charging argue that free entry results in greater value for money for government funding. Much of a museum's budget goes on fixed costs. At the British Museum, for example, when salaries, pension, social security, early retirement and redundancy costs were added up, the bill came to around £39.3m (2010/11). The museum's grant in aid that year was £43.5m. So halving the number of visitors to any museum effectively doubles its subsidy per head. Instead of £7 per head at the British Museum, it would be £14, for example. Mark Jones recalls that admissions used to provide less than 10% of the V&A's total budget. His successor, Martin Roth, also backs free entry, although in Dresden the museums he ran all charged admission. Charging is also unlikely to return because there is a consensus supporting free entry among directors. The picture was different in the 1990s when opinion was divided, with some directors ideologically in favour of charging. Treating visitors as customers made institutions more visitor-focused, they argued, and did spur modernisation and improved marketing. Another reason why free entry will probably stay is that it took a battle to scrap it, requiring a change in taxation. While free museums paid value added tax, charging museums were treated as exempt businesses. Subsidising touristsArguably the visitors who most benefit from free entry are international tourists to London. Around 18 million overseas visitors enjoyed national museums last year, twice as many as ten years ago. Last year there were 3.6 million overseas visitors to the British Museum (60% of its total), 1.2m visitors to the V&A (40%) and 2.5m to the National Gallery (49%). Some question the value of subsidising tourists who are happy to pay for London's other cultural and heritage destinations, be it St Paul's Cathedral (£14.50) or the Tower of London (£19.80). The counter argument is that free entry provides wider economic benefits: free museums contribute to London's attractiveness as a destination, and the money saved visiting a non-charging museum will be spent on something else in the capital. The altruistic argument is that free entry is a sign of civilised society (emulated last year by China). The national museums that withstood the political pressure to introduce charges in the 1990s and remained free, notably the British Museum, National Gallery and the Tate galleries (except its St Ives gallery, which does charge), have during the same period seen their visitor numbers rise, albeit slightly (see table, p13). This has helped to keep the British Museum, National Gallery and Tate Modern among the top five most visited museums in the world, as our annual attendance survey shows (The Art Newspaper, April 2011, p24). With government funding unlikely to increase any time soon, there are growing fears that while attendance remains high, the strain on institutions' budgets—and their staff—will grow also.

The museums in London are free because they want UK to overtake Paris museum...Museums in Paris are not free but still topping with a large gap of Louvre museum to free British museum...

The free entry policy is a big draw for me to visit London where I spend money on housing, food, shopping, etc. Rome used to be my favorite destination, but after visiting 25 times there, I'm switching to London. Of course, it's not just the free entrance, but that does loom large in my mind when I'm planning my European trips. I hope to spend a year in Europe soon, and intend to make London my base. Seeing art is my main motivation for travel, so free museum entry is a big deal, I hope this policy does not have to be changed.
13 Feb 12 17:35 CET
As my home is in London I am able to visit its museums regularly and am immensely grateful that they are free. I am a designer so use them both for work and recreation. I usually put some sort of donation into the box and often buy in the shop.

Consider our experience in Florida. Public museums keep a free day, usually Monday, paid admissions the rest of the week. "Private" Museums like The Dali charge daily but give a break in admission prices to teachers, seniors + kids.The JMW Turner Museum used to charge daily but kept a free day provided a grant was given to specifically to underwrite such a free day, ditto for schoolkids. The Turner also initiated the practice of charging a discounted admission fee to schoolkids, combining that with a sandwich treat. Thus not rigidly free admission or not but mix it up continually to respond to visitors convenience.

Has there been any formal study of the revenues earned by the gift shops and cafes in museums & galleries featuring free admission? I LOVE that entrance is free to so many cultural gems and I routinely spend money in the gift shops thinking I'm getting a "bargin". Yet I'm aware that shop items cost money to produce, so it would be interesting to learn what kind of mark-up and resulting profits (hopefully lots) the museums make. I am also a firm believer in preservation of art objects and their museum environments so I would hate to see the general maintenance and welfare of art suffer by lack of funds. By all means, charge for special exhibitions, but please don't abolish free entry especially in these horrendous economic times, people need the ability to escape to into the sanctuary of "cathedrals of art" to delight their eyes and feed thier souls.

A plea for help
My name is James Dean. Nancy Dean and I live at 1121 Plum Road., Nel-Win Camp subdivision (since 1975). We were victims of the 2011 flood. We lost everything, including our home. We had no flood insurance as our home was elevated and had always been safe in the past....I own a small lot...and am going to rebuild and am doing so.
The Nel-Win board...gave me permission in writing to move in a camper trailer to use as I rebuild....(then) filed papers in Chancery Court to force me to remove my camper. I refused as we have nowhere to go....In their complaint...the board said my camper lowered their property values and asked for financial compensation.

There are some awards our favorite games receive that make us happy they get the recognition they deserve, and there are some that leave us ... well, scratching our heads. Take Playboy's Best of Games of 2007 awards for instance as it awarded Heavenly Sword the "Best Jiggle Factor" award. We're not really sure what it means, but we're pretty sure it's a compliment.
Here's what they had to say about the game: "This game has more than a few rough edges, but we loved its compelling scenario and character design. Nariko is gorgeous but also strong, angry and vulnerable. By the end, you don't just want to date her, you want to marry her."
It beat out other scandalous and lewd games such as Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Conan and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary. With this well-deserved recognition, could it mean that Nariko could have a future spread in Playboy's Girl's of Gaming?

The Celtic Xylophone (Book 1) is the first in a series of Irish arrangements for solo xylophone and piano. There is enough stylistic variety in the collection of three works that they may be performed as a set or separately. Each piece in the book represents a different type of Irish tune.

Mark Cuthbert, European managing director of Wrangler, said while the brand's products in Europe are "designed by Europeans with Europeans in mind," customers here see it as one of the original jeans brands and thus associate Wrangler with America.
Indeed, Wrangler's European in-store promotional images for spring will focus on edgy, pared-down portrayals of models on windswept plains, rather than product attributes like fit or quality, to appeal to a trend-led audience. The brand's American roots will also be referenced in Wrangler's upcoming spring collection, inspired by the Amish community, and in what Wrangler calls the line's "uncomplicated and functional approach to life and work."
Some of the American names have lost ground in the past year in Interbrand's list of 100 best global brands, including Budweiser, ranked 30th; Dell, 31st; Ford, 41st, and MTV, 52nd. "To a degree, sectors determine brand strength in various parts of the world," Frampton said. "Car marks in Britain mattered more several years ago than they do now. China is chasing fashion brands."
Interbrand cited growing competition from lower-priced chains and designer labels in determining Gap's brand value had fallen 15 percent to $5.48 billion, ranking it 61st, down from 52nd in 2006. Gap has taken some steps recently to make the brand more relevant to fashion consumers outside the U.S., including:
- Offering for the first time a fall collection that is designed entirely by a European team.
- Tapping Marie Amelie Sauve, a Balenciaga stylist and an editor at French Vogue, as design consultant.
- Launching in October Gap Design Editions footwear in collaboration with French designer Pierre Hardy, on the heels of a 2006 collaboration with London-based designer Roland Mouret. Most of the Mouret styles sold out, according to a Gap spokeswoman.
In the end, Europe tends to share more Western values and ideals with the U.S. than some other parts of the world, so alterations in a U.S. brand's image stem from trends in relatively small locales. American advertising used to be about the country's freedoms and the world's global nature, Clifton observed, adding, "now a lot of countries feel as though they're free."

Watch out Messiah Boombam, Sarah's coming after you. If the republicans were smart they would run this women for President today. Sarah Today: She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, "Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world– disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief." Palin said, "Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That's reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that. So I guess I have to apologize about being a little annoyed, but that is also an indication of being outside that Washington elite and being outside the media elite also and just wanting to talk and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for." Cameron Interviews Post-Debate Palin FOX Embeds FOXNews.com
She's just as quailified as Messiah and she's got more balls, if we have to bomb some of those bastards that want to kill your family Sarah will "find them" and she won't need a map.
You betcha. By golly, she's got more balls than a meatball sub and can sniff out bastards right in her own living room.
I've heard enough about the ice queen, fair sarah herew what I really think of her: The Palin phenominon can only be understood as some form of reality television where anybody can win the prize She clearly has no idea about Federal government, the Constitution, international politics, history, law, economics, or general knowledge of national politics. She wants the Federal government to get out of the lives of working class people, yet is attempting to become Vice-President with an agenda derived from Cheney's expansion of the role. She has no consistency, no coherence, no clarity in relation to current profound problems confronting ordinary people, and can only cheer with the mantra of fight for freedom.
Well said, Flex. But I doubt any of these painfully obvious truths will interfere with Harry's latent wet dream.
Betcha Joe Six Pack and the Soccer Moms, would not want us to go to war without knowing all the details.. she should do more than just attack, talk about her vision and the details..
I think Palin's comments re Obama in the last few days (" palling around with terorists" " he doesn't see America the way you and I see America")are a calculated plan trying to get him to lose his cool, go off the teleprompter and rage back at her/McCain. It is the Vice Presidential candidate's job to be the pit bull (lipstick or not) as Bob Dole and others have done and attack the top of the opposing ticket. It is obviously harder for Biden having worked in the exclusive club known as the Senate with McCain or the last quarter century than it is for Palin to knock Obama. Will Obama be able to hold his tongue and not be goaded? We all have our breaking point and if she hits the right buttons and he loses his temper, the Republicans can say that he doesn't have the right temperament to be President.

I was just listening to the beersmith podcast. They were talking about creating a high gravity beer. They brought up brewing 2 beers with one batch. One would just use the mash liquid as the big beer and the other would use the sparge run off as the smaller beer. I know that the mash liquid is highly concentrated and the sparge liquid is a much more diluted smaller beer. I am just wondering has anyone ever tried this? what was your method?
the process is called parti-gyle. I've used it a couple of times when I know that I'll have a lot of sugars left over in the mash. you have to plan for it a bit, but you can double your production out of one brewing day.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Parti-gyle

Conference Power Rankings: Big 12
Jason KingKansas is still the heavy favorite to win a ninth consecutive Big 12 title. But its path to the championship may be more difficult than Big 12 fans expected. That was evident Wednesday, when Iowa State nearly upset Bill Self's squad at Allen Fieldhou...

Nick Megaloudis, an assistant coach with the Miami Fusion franchise, nods. He knows all about scouting for talent in Miami's soccer-crazed ethnic subcultures. Yesterday, during the opening session of the tournament, Megaloudis found a goalkeeper. The kid was only nineteen years old. "He was real raw, but he had all the tools," Megaloudis recalls. "So I went up to him and I asked him if he was an American. He says no, he's a Mexican. I asked him where he was born. He says Texas."
Michia smiles in recognition. He runs into this problem all the time: players not thinking of themselves as Americans, even though they've lived their entire lives in the United States. "He comes from Homestead," Megaloudis continues. "It's a city that's kind of unknown, even in Dade County, you know; it's all the way down there. And the kid is content just playing soccer. He doesn't know he has potential, that this could be a career."
Someone notes that the U.S. men's team defeated Chile the night before, in Chile. It was the first victory in five years for a U.S. team playing in South America. In January the United States came from behind to tie Iran, one of the teams that beat them in the World Cup. New head coach Bruce Arena's record with the national team is 8-4-4, with wins over Germany and Argentina. The team is again ranked among the top 25 in the world. More important to Michia, the under-seventeen national team finished fourth out of sixteen teams competing in last year's World Youth Cup in New Zealand. An under-fifteen national team recently completed a successful tour of Mexican club teams.
Two youth teams take the field for a halftime scrimmage. Tiny boys with shorts hanging down to their ankles crisscross the field wildly. Tom Mulroy heads off to talk to a referee. Megaloudis moves away to chat with a friend. Alone in the bleachers, Michia leans forward. Instinctively his eyes scan the field. "I'm so happy to have this position," he says suddenly. "I feel so strong about it. I feel it is so important. Not only for Spanish kids but for everyone. For China, Japan, Africa, the Caribbean. I always said this country is for everyone. It should be for everyone in soccer, too."
On the field a tiny Haitian boy delivers a pass right to the feet of a teammate. "There! Look!" shouts Michia, almost leaping out of his seat. "That's the best thing I've seen all day!"

I was hesitant to buy these, never dealt with dual suspension subs, not a whole lot of info for these specific models, nor any really good online videos of them. I figured with the way the specs are, these would be pretty good SQ subs, not only are these GREAT SQ subs, but the SPLs are amazing and I am amazed by theses. I have these running about 50% per sub and they are LOUD, great SQ and enough SPL to rattle your brains

The Fear Hole
Three scientists, their janitor, and the creatures that emerge from their dimensional vortex.
This is the new hungry fish! optimized for touch because i got a new phone ^^
Use arrow keys or click\touch to move
Eat juicy little fishies and grow bigger ;)
Don't touch any poisonous or big bad fish!
There are 4 levels! Enjoy!
It's was ok
It was ok, the only that really bothered me was the noise that the fish made when it ate other fish. It sounds really gross.
hehe.. that's my voice ;)
nice game
but i cant get past that stupid big fish, he's way too fast and he suddenly appears
the big, big one? :) you have to eat really fast so you can escape to the next level before he or his friends come to eat you
Interesting Game
I get this Actionscript run-time several times throughout the course of play:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Events::CEventProgram/handle_Event()
at Objects::CExtension/generateEvent()
at MethodInfo-3902()
It happens when:
- I adjust the audio controls
- the game is over
- restarting the game
Using Flash Debug Player 10.2, and Firefox 4.
Music didn't seem to fit, but I like how you can turn music off and just have the sounds.
There are times, when I can't seem to outswim a bigger fish, thus I wouldn't stand a chance, no matter what I did.
Other than that, the game is fine. (:
- Ziro out.
thank you :) i am using a runtime and don't really have control over those bugs, i hope they are not making the game unjoyable in any way.
to avoid the big green: keep to the bottom left, outsmart him
to avoid the huge one: play faster so you can go to the next level before he eats you!
Not bad
Cool music. Game reminds me of one that my girl plays on PS3,...Feeding Frenzy I think its called.
ah ok, i haven't played that, i based it loosely on a really old game on mac-os8 or something :)
thank you for the compliments on the music ^^ it's wasn't very complicated to make

David "Rambo" Booth

The Following is a guest post from our friend @GayCanuck. Gaycanuck is the Canucks correspondent for Puck Buddy's a rapidly growing website dedicated to "Boys who like boys who like hockey" originally based out of Washington D.C. Tom has a unique perspective, he's a thoroughly hilarious hockey newb with some pretty fabulous takes on Vancouver's hockey team, and on hockey fandom generally. He also runs one of the best Canucks related twitter accounts around. We're pleased to host his take on the David Booth trade.
Written by GayCanuck
Minutes after Canucks fans were celebrating their team's win against the Wilds this past Saturday, GM Mike Gillis announced a surprising acquisition that delighted many Canucks fans. And once I saw his photo, I was delighted, too!

Today I continue my weekly feature of me venting and raging on stupid crap happening with the Canucks, their fans and around the NHL. Two things about feature... 1) It will appear (hopefully) every Monday, and 2) It is blatantly ripped off from a stand-up bit from comedian Craig Anton. On either point, I make no apologies. Enjoy. Or don't.
In this week's edition, I crack the whip on TSN's schedule makers, hockey in the Desert and trolling, "professional" journalists.
The Booth Trade: Butterfly Effects
Thomas Drance
October 24 2011 10:34AM
Now that the Canucks have acquired the much coveted second line power forward to play with Ryan Kesler, some of the team's lines and special team deployments will surely be thrown into flux. How does the acquisition of David Booth impact Vigneault's options going forward? Let's take a look.
The Booth Trade and Sentimental Value
Cam Charron
October 24 2011 08:49AM
Will the Canucks miss Samuelsson's leadership?
The Vancouver Canucks traded a couple of spare parts for a 26-year old goal-scorer over the weekend and the initial reaction to the trade was mixed. Mixed, as in, people's opinions on the deal ranged somewhere from "okay, now the Canucks have a pretty good second line" to "what on earth is Dale Tallon thinking?"

Another week has passed in the season, and with that, it's time for another review of matters around the league. In this installment, the Canucks make the first significant move of the year, two first rounders appear on divergent paths, and the Leafs face life without Optimus Reim.

American presidents not only change the face of the world with their personal political and moral visions of how modern civilization should rise, and sometimes fall, but often their contributions to the evolution of society reaches us, beyond their decisions made within the Oval Office, in the form of philosophical and autobiographical literary reflections. The sculpting of analytical biographies of our leaders has always been a focus of historians, placing each era of power beneath a microscope to dissect the dichotomy between the defining successes and failures. However, many of the our elected country leaders take up the pen, most once they have left office, but some, such as with our current president Barack Obama, while their term is still in its infancy. The contents of these books range from personal critiques of their fellow politicians and tell-all confessionals of what really occurred behind the conspiracies and scandals, to patriotic rallies to reclaim the American Dream and Nobel Prize winning visions of world peace.
Here is a short list of selections written by a few of the recent presidents for you to pick up and peruse this 4th of July, while you are lounging by the pool enjoying your freedom to consume mass quantities of libations and barbeque. No matter your political orientation, there are selections running the gamut from Jimmy Carter to Richard Nixon, each particuarly interesting and insightful in their own right.

Barack Obama

Yes, this pistol-packin' Mama gave the thug everything he deserved except an eteranal dirt nap.
69-year-old Ala. woman shoots 18-year-old intruder
DECATUR, Ala. (AP) -- A pistol-packing 69-year-old woman in northern Alabama believes intruders will think twice before messing with her again. Police said Ethel Jones shot an 18-year-old man in the stomach when she found him inside her bedroom at her home in Decatur. Jones said she sleeps with her gun under a pillow next to her and said she grabbed it after hearing a door rattle shortly before 3 a.m. Monday.
Police said the suspect removed a window air conditioner to get inside the home. He was in the hospital and faces a charge of second-degree burglary.

And here I am again for my semi-annual update. Uploaded some things the other day and will upload more soon.
Very busy semester for me. Made so much progress its crazy, lost so much sleep its crazy, went so crazy its crazy. Crazy rhymes with gravy. I want some gravy. No I don't.
More on that later. Graduating this semester and transferring, good stuff. Some folks from Art Center College of Design came by the other day and did a presentation on how awesome their school is and how I can't afford it. Maybe someday. Inspires me to do even better.
Look forward to some sketch dumps and more character concepts. Until then, work work work....

Benjamin Bear in Bright Ideas: Toon Books Level 2 (Hardcover)
Shipped to Tattered Cover in 3 to 7 days
Benjamin Bear walks on water, rides a square-wheeled bicycle, and wears a fishbowl helmet under the sea.
Benjamin Bear walks on water, rides a square-wheeled bicycle, and wears a fishbowl helmet under the sea. Told in the form of one-page comic strips, each of Benjamin's adventures is a hilarious gag, a puzzle, a mini physics lesson, or sometimes all three. Of the first Benjamin book, Horn Book wrote, "Original, deep-down funny . . . steeped in the rare quality of imaginative kindness." Kirkus called it, "A visually formatted joke book to inspire thinking as well as laughs."
About the Author
Philippe Coudray loves drawing comics, and his many children's books are often used in schools in his home country of France, where his work was chosen by elementary-school students for the prestigious Prix des Écoles d'Angoulême. In 2012, an entire exhibition was devoted to Barnabé the Bear, Benjamin's French cousin. His first TOON Book, Benjamin Bear in Fuzzy Thinking, was nominated for an Eisner Award in the Best Publication for Early Readers category.
Praise for Benjamin Bear in Bright Ideas: Toon Books Level 2…
The clever bear and his assorted crew of animal pals from Benjamin Bear in Fuzzy Thinking (2011) return for another collection of single-page strips, each one a marvel of economy in setup, delivery, and payoff...Honing a well-rounded sense of humor may be just as important as any other aspect of childhood learning, and you'll find no finer choice for that than the ingenious exploits of this very clever bear.
—Booklist (starred review)
This book rewards what six-year-olds are already good at (scrutiny), encourages a new skill (reading), and enlarges the imagination (heaven).
—The Horn Book (starred review)
Kids will laugh out loud at Benjamin as he solves problems in zany, often misguided, ways. ... A funny, smart little book that is definitely interesting enough to hold the attention of reluctant readers.

HANNIBAL Fans, Rejoice! The Series Will Return For Season 3
By Clarke Wolfe on May 9, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen, your voices were heard: Entertainment Weekly is reporting that despite its unfortunate low ratings, the high quality genre series Hannibal has been renewed for a third season by NBC.
The Brian Fuller series is a fan favorite but unfortunately has never had the ratings to match. While EW does mention that the series is growing through DVR and boasts the youngest viewers for a 10 PM Friday night drama, even those aren't particularly strong. Still, NBC is standing by the series by giving it a Season 3 order.
Hannibal follows Detective Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) as he plays cat-and-mouse with Mads Mikkelsen's Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The series has been generating buzz for its strong acting and some of the most graphic and grizzly depictions of violence and gore on television, cable networks included.
I found it hard to believe, considering all of the positive word of mouth regarding the quality of the series, that the show would go away completely. Genre television proves to be incredibly popular with younger demographics and it would appear that all of the networks, cable and otherwise, are looking to get in on the craze. It also seemed that if NBC wasn't going to keep it going, someone else would pick it up.
Now that we know that the series has been saved, the question remains: how will NBC generate the series' incredibly strong word of mouth into more viewers? Should they go the Breaking Bad route and get the complete series onto Netflix before the season three premiere? Should they take the show out of the Friday night doldrums and place it front and center for more general audiences to see? Let us know your thoughts on Hannibal in the comments below!
Yeah, but they cancelled Community, so screw NBC.
AHHH! did the word come down officially on community??? Poop!
[…] think about these NBC cancellations like so: though Community and Revolution are gone, NBC is renewing Hannibal, which somehow gets away with being the type of wonderfully dark hour-long drama that you'd […]
Woot! This is cool news indeed. Thou i'd be happy with the two seasons we've got.
Hannibal is a wonderful show but you really need to give it a chance, watch it sequentially, and be prepared for the most riddle-speaking dialogue EVER. It does not spoon feed the viewer. Im glad to see its got more but i hope that doesnt change the, apparent, course this season is on (SPOILERS AHEAD) which will expose Hannibal for who he is to more parties than just Will.
Peace .n. Fava beans with a nice chianti..fwt fwt fwt.
I love the show Hannibal!! I'm so glad that it's coming back for another season. I don't understand why it gets low ratings while it is shot in such quality.
Play it on Netflix first. I don't watch cable tv!

Stevenage 0-0 Wolverhampton: Match Report
Stevenage 0-0 Wolverhampton: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Boro frustrate leaders
Stevenage lifted themselves off the bottom of League One as they battled to a 0-0 draw with leaders Wolves.
Goalkeepers Chris Day and Carl Ikeme were kept busy but both had fine games to ensure a stalemate.
Wolves came close when Day beat away Nouha Dicko's shot from a narrow angle and Leon Clarke could only head the rebound wide.
The visitors almost went behind in calamitous fashion as Kevin McDonald sliced Jimmy Smith's corner but Ikeme bailed him out with a flying save.
Stevenage began to rally in the second half as Francois Zoko's long pass picked out Smith with Ikeme doing well to tip his effort over.
It was then Day's turn to be a hero in goal as he stayed big to make a great save to deny Clarke, who had been put through by Michael Jacobs.
Boro are now one point off safety with Wolves now 11 points clear of third-placed Leyton Orient with six games left.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! last night, Phelps pwned that race!!! that was so close! he went from 4th to 2nd in the last 10 m and then AT THE LAST SECOND he touched the wall before Cavic because Cavic decided to glide in while Phelps swung all his force toward the wall touching by A HUNDREDTH OF A SECDOND BEFORE CAVIC! i was screaming like a maniac (no smart comments brett). you chould hear me down the street! the race REALLY pissed off Cavic, but that's understandable, I mean, he was closer to the wall than Phelps and Phelps touched first...UNBELIEVABLE!! AND that was his seventh gold in this olympics making it his 13th or 14th over all gold medal making him the most decorated olympic gold medalist IN HISTORY! also winning this last gold in Beijing means that he has tied the record for most gold medals in one olympics! Phelps is seriously the best athlete in the world!! (and this was all in his sig stroke-butterfly)
But as much as Phelps is an amazing swimmer and Olmpian, I like Ryan Lochte more. He has trained with Phelps, but still has never beat him (Phelps has only been beat once and that was in sydney when he was 14 and he got BRONZE!). Lochte has had the determination for years to beat Phelps and has been getting silver after silver after silver, always living in Phelps' shadow for all these years.
Then two nights ago, he beat Peirsol in the 200mBack (my stoke! ) and won his first gold! I was cheering for him so loudly! He was not only determined to come out of the shadow, but also take the world record in the event. He was incredible in the race and it's too bad that i couldn't see the award ceremony. He's also the HOTTEST Olympic swimmer out there! www.daytonabeachswimming.org/i…
God I love these guys!

His family situation is a real shame, several orders of magnitude worse than Belichick's kid getting busted for pot. I hope it works out for the Reids but, needless to say, Heroin is nothing to be messing with
Just talked to my boys in Philly yesterday. I had no idea this was going on. This story is THE story in Philly right now and will continure to be so. Even at Wing Bowl it's what everyone was talking about. It is very sad. Hard to keep tabs on your kids when they are over 18 though. Doesn't surpirse me that he is taking a year off to get his "house" in order. It's the right thing to do.
I had no idea that this was going on, either. WIP radio usually doesn't come in very well here in Hershey, but I'm going to try to tune in today. So who takes charge on the field: Jim Johnson, Morningweg, or someone else?
I thought I shut myself off from football after we lost - I guess I didn't Unless the Philly fans I heard from are wrong, it's only until mid March as of now. Just draft preparations for a month, nothing much he's missing on the field.
As long as the Eagles don't have any pre-draft coin flips for Marty Morningweg to **** up, this leave of absence is the best decision.

Rep Power:
I finally got started on this project and so far going well. I ripped out the port forward bulkhead and the cabinets. The bulkhead was really rotten along the hull. If this is meant to provide any structural support it was not. Very happy to be replacing that. I resealed the windows which I think was the source of the leak so that problem should not come back.
We also got the 2 new bulkheads templated and cut out and wonder of wonders they fit! The forward bulkhead was pretty easy as the old one, even as rotten as it was, served as the template. For the new aft bulkhead we used the "tick stick" method described by Don Casey in This Old Boat. It worked very well allowing us to get a carboard template cut that was close enough we could trim it to fit in the boat. Then just transfer to plywood and cut.
Next I will seal the edges of the bulkheads with epoxy and then install those. After that build a shelf for the porta potty and finish things up nice.
I did not think to get any before pictures. I will see about getting during pictures and will definitely post an after picture.
You will regret the things you did not do, more than the things you did.
Get out there!

10 Dividend Stocks to Keep You Safe Into 2012
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Companies that pay among the highest dividends and post the fastest earnings growth are the best place to hunker down.
Before selling equities and going to cash or Treasury bonds, consider staying in the market but remaining risk-averse with relatively safe dividend stocks. Still, that might be easier said than done, given the S&P 500's 5.6% decline in the past five trading days.
But that's a strategy touted by many investment strategists, including Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Parker. "The right strategy to outperform in this environment is to focus on companies with sustainable dividends," which he refers to as "the 'best house on a bad block' logic."
With the 10-year Treasury yield around 2% yield, companies that can increase earnings per share over the next decade and pay consistently higher dividends are "likely prudent investments," he says.
Dividends have provided 42% of the S&P 500's total return over the past century, "so you do not want to ignore them," Parker says. Instead of picking stable blue-chip companies such as 3M or Procter & Gamble, Morgan Stanley recommends fast-growing companies. "The market has been rewarding companies that are beating on revenue more than those beating on earnings, and we think the scarcity premium on revenue growth will increase in a low-growth economy," he said in the report the report. With that view in mind, what follows are 10 stocks with better than 3% dividend yields that rank among the best in terms of three- to five-year earnings per share growth prospects (per Standard & Poor's), and have attractive current price-to-earnings ratios, culled from a screen on Fidelity's Web site. Seagate Technology (STX - Get Report), a maker of computer hard drives, has shares that carry a 4.46% projected dividend yield, and the company has a long-term projected earnings growth rate of 18.4%. It has a market value of $7 billion and its shares are on fire, rising 62% in the past three months and up 11% this year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

If Liberals Are Going To Call Us Terrorists….
…are we finally free to call Liberals the traitors they are?
Yeah, the NY Times ratchets up the discourse for the "New Tone". This, after Biden was accused of saying "They have acted like terrorists." He denied that, just that he "let other Democrat lawmakers vent." So, venting includes elected Federal officials referring to a segment of the US population as "terrorists," and the Vice President of the United States sat there and let them do it?
Personally, I prefer the term "freedom fighter". Militant doesn't apply, since it breaksdown to about 98% liberal violence to 2% conservative violence. We aren't the ones shooting, going on rampages, throwing pies and glitter, poo, and generally making messes. We aren't the ones who advocated the continued destruction of the USA.
So, if we're all terrorists, all you liberals are traitors. Because you don't hear the majority of liberals saying "hey, come on, calling our fellow Americans terrorists simply because they have a different take on the economy is going way, way to far. Please stop that."

Tuesday, January 17
Amway Center
Attendance: 18,846
Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Dwight Howard finished with 25 points and 17 rebounds, one of five double-digit scorers for the Magic in their 96-89 victory over the Bobcats.
"I pray he doesn't go anywhere and stays," said Magic guard Von Wafer of Howard, who has been often rumored to be on the trading block. "I love playing with him."
Hedo Turkoglu scored eight of his 15 points in a close fourth quarter, Jameer Nelson scored 17, and Wafer and Ryan Anderson each chipped in 13 for Orlando, which was coming off a perfect four-game road trip.
Charlotte has lost eight of nine overall despite consistent performances by Gerald Henderson, who netted 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Kemba Walker added 15 points, while D.J. Augustin scored 13 but committed eight turnovers.
The final quarter began knotted at 67-all, but Charlotte went without a field goal for four minutes early on to lose momentum. Consecutive three-pointers by Wafer and Turkoglu gave Orlando an 80-74 lead with five minutes remaining.
Henderson converted a three-point play with 2:25 showing to cut the deficit to 81-79, then traded jumpers from the left elbow with Turkoglu.
Anderson, who made seven three-pointers in Monday's win over New York, drained one from long range the next time down to restore the two-possession edge.
It was still a five-point game in the final minute before an Augustin turnover led to Turkoglu getting fouled in transition with 42.9 seconds left and hitting both free throws for a 90-83 cushion.
Henderson was fouled taking a three-pointer the next time down, but only made one at the line to diminish any chance at a comeback.
"The end of games are where we have to lock down and execute," Henderson said. "We'll be better off with experience like that last few games."
The Bobcats owned the end of the first and second quarters, closing each frame with a 9-2 run. They led 24-17 heading to the second, and 50-47 at the break. Both teams shot 49 percent from the field in the first half.
Howard made sure the Magic finished the third off with a flurry, as his dunk and three-point play in the final minute tied things at 67.

Undefeated professional and two-time national amateur champion Edwin Rodriguez of Worcester, Mass., returns to the ring March 28 in a four-round middleweight bout in Salamanca, N.Y., his first with new trainer Peter Manfredo Sr. The opponent for the 22-year-old Rodriguez is veteran James North of Weston, W.Va.. This will be Rodriguezs third fight in just nine weeks. The 6-foot Rodriguez is coming off a fourth-round knockout of Fitzgerald Johnson Feb. 8 in Boston and a first-round knockout of Samuel Ortiz Gomez Jan. 26 in Mansfield, Mass. Rodriguez won the USA Boxing national championship for 2005 and the Golden Gloves national championship for 2006, both at 165 pounds. Ive had two fights and two knockouts, but they were very different fights, said Rodriguez. The first win came quick; the second win I had to work harder for. But thats fine with me, said Rodriguez. It was a reminder that nothing good comes easy. Rodriguez is especially eager for this first fight under new head trainer Manfredo Sr. Im anxious and excited to show what Ive learned while working with Peter, said Rodriguez. In just a few weeks Ive learned new things and improved upon the abilities and skills I already have. And this is just the start; Im learning more every day in the gym and with every fight I have. The 33-year-old North, Rodriguezs opponent on the nationally televised (ESPN2) card at the Seneca Allegheny Casino and Hotel, has a record of 8-19-2 with three knockouts. Edwins first two opponents had three fights each, and North has almost 30, said Larry Army Jr., Rodriguezs manager. Theres no question Edwins getting into deeper water now. But were not worried about sinking. Edwin can swimand fightquite well. After all, he is the future of the middleweight division. Edwins a good learner, a quick study, said Manfredo Sr. We wouldnt be putting him in with someone as experienced as North if we didnt think Edwin has the tools to succeed. Rodriguez, who has lived in Worcester since arriving in the United States from his native Dominican Republic during 1998, considered competing for a spot on the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, but the premature birth of twins, Edwin Jr. and Serena Lynn, changed his priorities. Stephanie Rapa, Edwins fiancee and mother of the twins, is a graduate of Holy Cross with a degree in political science and has been accepted by the Western New England School of Law.

Everglades plan could siphon water from places that need it.
In an effort to minimize the problem of suburban flooding, a new plan to restore much needed fresh water to the everglades may actually reduce the fresh water flow to Biscayne Bay, which is already starved of the freshwater it needs to maintain a healthy salinity.

Widnes will be without winger Paddy Flynn for Friday's visit of Catalan Dragons in the First Utility Super League.
Flynn has been banned for two matches for punching Justin Carney during the loss at Castleford last time.
The winger submitted an early guilty plea after being charged with the grade C offence in the 34-22 defeat and misses the visit of the Dragons in the Super League and Keighley in the Tetley's Challenge Cup quarter-finals the following week.
But on a more positive note, the hosts have named Danny Galea and Danny Craven in their squad after the pair recovered from injuries.
The Vikings are looking to make it two wins on the bounce at home following their 30-24 victory over Salford but it will be tough against a Dragons side who are aiming to make it three victories in a row.
The French side have made just one change to the squad which beat Bradford 46-4 last time, with joint-skipper Jason Baitieri replacing Antoni Maria.
Widnes Vikings: Allen, Brown, Clough, Craven, Dean, Galea, Gerrard, Gilmore, Gore, Hanbury, Isa, Johnson, Kavanagh, Leuluai, Marsh, Owens, Phelps, Tickle, White.
Catalan Dragons: Escare, Pryce, Pomeroy, Oldfield, Bosc, Elima, Lima, Taia, Anderson, Pelissier, Whitehead, Millard, Simon, Bousquet, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Cardace, Baile.

Rockport snags prestigious Texas Watercolor Society exhibit
March 31, 2010 at midnight
Updated March 31, 2010 at 11:01 p.m.
The opening reception for the 61st annual Texas Watercolor Society National Juried Exhibition will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 10, at the Rockport Center for the Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition will be up at the center through May 8.
Rockport has long been known as a haven for local artists of all kinds.
Thanks to the town's recent coup of snagging the honor of hosting the 61st annual Texas Watercolor Society's national juried art exhibition, they're taking their reputation nationwide.
Featuring nationally-known watercolorists from Texas and 33 other states, this is the first time Rockport has hosted the event, according to a Rockport Center for the Arts news release.
"The outstanding collection will prove to be a real feast for the eyes - exposing the scope, variety, styles and spontaneity of the watercolor medium," Rockport Center for the Arts curator, John Aasp, said in the news release. "The center is honored to host such a prestigious event and amazing talent this year."
The pieces in the show were juried and selected by renowned watercolorists Janet Walsh and Arne Westerman, and 60 paintings were selected from more than 470 entries.
Prizes awarded range from $7,000 to $10,000.
Walsh is president emeritus of the American Watercolor Society and Westerman is an award-winning artist, according to the news release.
The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, opened on Thursday and runs through May 8.
On April 10, an opening reception will be at the center and many of the artists in the show will be on hand to visit with patrons, according to the news release.
In 1949, the Texas Watercolor Society was founded with the mission to promote and advance the art of watercolor painting. Each year, the society's juried exhibition bounces between its headquarters in San Antonio and another Texas city.
For more information about the show, call 361-729-5519 or go to www.rockportartscenter.com.

My wife 3 yr old daughter and I are at aoa lm room for the last night of or week long Disney trip thought I'd write a review. We haven't been to Disney in 10 years but have both stayed at multiple resorts when we were kids. So first of those worried about distance to main building don't be it's not that far and the scenery is great. Prolly 5 min walk to main building from our room. The rooms are a perfect size for us. Could easily bring another child along. Storage for suitcase is minimal though. The food at food court is excellent. Pools are great staff is friendly. Everything throughout the entire resort is Awsome for young Disney fans. The cars resort is the best in my opinion. My daughter loved it over. Things I would like to see is Mug refill in each area (not a deal breaker though) Better lighting in LM shower More storage for clothes and suitcase. As far as the resort we will be back in the future with daughter and future kids while they are young. Meal reviews CRT food was great and special setting Tusker house food was bad but characters were fun. Won't go back Chef mickeys. Food was good and characters were fun will return Akershus food wasn't good but it was nice to see belle in her ball gown. Won't go back though 1900 park fare dinner was excellent chAracters were fun. We will go back Be our guest dinner and experience was the best we had and its just fantastic dinner and scenery. Meeting the beast at the end and him dancing with my daughter in her belle gown was priceless. Fantasyland belle story time is great a must do I was a knight and my daughter was chip. Ariel ride is really neat. Anyone going I suggest fast pass Ariel and do belles story time first. We also did BBB the best package. It was great and she looked great in Cinderella dress for our CRT breakfast. If we do it again prolly just do hair and makeup and bring a dress to save money. But for her first trip it was great. That's all if you have any questions about resort or theme parks for 3 year old girls I could prolly help you out. We met all characters in all parks filled up 3 autograph books.
Hi There! Glad you had a great trip! I agree the space in values for suitcase storage is limited. We just returned from POP last week and felt the same way. We really enjoyed the new Under the Sea ride and Ariel's Grotto. Really cool. We also checked out the new dumbo queue. So cool inside the tent!
