What do you think of Elodie?
I only recently heard the name Elodie (pronounced like Melody, without the M) and I must admit I'm slightly in love with it. It's of French origin, but from the little research I've done it isn't even that popular in France.
I'd love people's opinions on it. Is it stunning or is it too "out there"? Would it be weird to use it as we've no French heritage?
Also, if there are any French Berries out there who could weigh in with their thoughts that would be great too

I like Elodie a lot, but I do pronounce it a bit differently than Melody without the 'M'. I place the emphasis on the last syllable instead of the first and give the second syllable a longer 'o'. It's more like elle-oh-DEE than ELLE-uh-dee, if that makes sense. In French, it would be pronounced more like ay-loe-DEE, as there is usually an acute accent over the first 'E', (i.e., Élodie). I think a lot of people pronounce it the way you do though.
Anyway, I don't think it's too out there at all. It fits in the other popular girls names that begin with 'El-' and and with '-ie'. I also don't think it's too 'foreign', if that makes sense. There's no crazy spelling or specific phoneme that would be difficult for an English speaker to pronounce. For what it's worth, I do know one little baby Elodie who has no French heritage (that I'm aware of).TTC #1

This name is on my list too!! Me and my boyfriend love it and it fits with the middle name May so well (which for us isn't a filler, it's a family name). The only thing that kinda annoyed me was when I ran it by my sister and she said "Melody?" and I said no Elodie and she said "yeah it's nice but people are gonna think you just forgot the M" -_____- my dad doesn't like it either.
but they're not name lovers like us! I personally loveeee the nameMy Favorites:

The Paths of Planets and Weather
Five years ago, Pluto was officially demoted from beloved ninth planet to dwarf planet status. Who could do such a thing to a favorite American cultural icon?
Neil DeGrasse Tyson traces the rise and fall of America's favorite planet in The Pluto Files. In 2000, the American Museum of Natural History in New York opened the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the Hayden Planetarium, and showed Pluto as an icy, dusty comet in its exhibits. This was the first public institution to take a stand on Pluto. The New York Times soon followed with this front page headline: Pluto Not a Planet? Only in New York".
This news raised the ire of the American public, who rallied to the defense of a new extraterrestrial underdog. The notion of dropping Pluto from the pantheon of planets hit a raw nerve with the public and produced a media firestorm that has continued unabated.
On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union adopted Resolution 5A on the Definition of a Planet, officially voting Pluto out of planethood and, within days, the state legislatures of New Mexico (home to Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto's discoverer) and California (home to Pluto the Dog at Disneyland) were proposing resolutions to protect Pluto's planetary status within their borders.
Pluto rose from an obscure position to its revered status thanks to a cultural convergence. In 1930, Pluto was discovered and named for the Roman god of the underworld. That same year, Disney created a lovable pup and gave it the same name. Since then, Pluto has become entrenched in our cultural view of the cosmos. Tyson, at the center of the controversy as project scientist for the new displays at the Rose Center and director of the Hayden Planetarium, is the best person to tell this particular story. Plutophiles have freely shared their opinions with him, including endless hate mail from third graders.
With great wit, Tyson shares a minihistory of the planets, portrays the colorful characters of the people who study them, and recounts how America's favorite planet was ousted from the cosmic club. Liberally illustrated with photos, cartoons ("Look who they're trying to vote off Dancing with the Stars"), and letters from school children, this is a gem of a science lesson.
On this date in 1897, Charles Dudley Warner, editor of the Hartford Courant, published the now-famous and oft-quoted observation: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." This is often mis-attributed to Warner's friend and colleague Mark Twain. They were part of the notable American literary circle of the 19th century, and collaborated in writing "The Gilded Age" in 1873.
We still talk about the weather. Marq de Villiers writes eloquently about it in Windswept: the story of wind and weather. Although sometimes enormously destructive, wind is also one of the elements that make life on Earth possible. It moderates the intense heat of the equatorial regions, warms the higher latitudes, and carries evaporated moisture from oceans to land, where the moisture descends as rain. Wind sculpted the rivers that watered the earliest civilizations. And even hurricanes, as destructive as they are, are an essential part of Earth's self-regulation.
From the wind gods of ancient times to early discoveries of the dynamics of air movement to high-tech schemes to control hurricanes, deVilliers explains the science of wind and tells dramatic personal stories of encounters with gales and storms, including Hurricane Ivan, the only storm on record to reach Category 5 status three times in its progression from the Sahara to Texas to Newfoundland.

Later on, when facing nepomuk/plasma problems on friends/family computers, i had stopped hoping for anything useful from the bugtracker, so i had stopped wasting time reporting bugs there.
Another major improvement that KDE can do is to drop support for BSDs as they are irrelavent and don't cooperate and slow the project down.
Gnome has done this and they are making great advances.
The applet in question is "Task Manager" which is assigned to " <[email protected]> " unfortunately there's no "Location" filled in for a git url so if you want you could email him and ask him what the progress on it is and what the git url is.
If you do, be sure to post it here in the forums so we all know.
Last time i checked it was not so easy to get rid of akonadi. But granted, it was some times ago.
And.. how to say it. "porting to akonadi" sounds to me like "adding even more mess".
And anyway, this is not the solution as akregator code is really ugly. I doubt that it is worth to port it to <whatever>. Better rewrite it, this would be a lot more efficient. And this time, prevent teenage monkeys to access the code for it.
Again: Piss off to some Xfce or so forum. People may believe you there.
He changed his plans several times already (eg. killing scripting was once on his agenda before he realized that reworking scripting results in easier to maintain effects).

First time purchase the vessel sink, its very heavy gauge and fine quality, but I forgot the height of the sink and did not adjust the height of the vanity, now it became a bit too high for me, not a big fan of vessel sink. But if you like the vessel sink this one would be a great choice.
I love this sink. It has a great look, good depth (especially for the waterfall style faucet we are using, so that it avoids splashes out of the basin). It is just the right size (not too big but big enough) and the color was perfect for what we were looking for. I had it installed, so not sure if it was easy or difficult. NOTE: the sink comes with everything you need, so do not order separate drain, etc. I did, because this wasn't clear on the website description and now have an extra drain
After looking in several stores that sell vessel sinks, I found one on Overstock.com. It is beautiful, came very protectively wrapped and the price was incredible compared to others I saw like it. I would recommend this sink and Overstock.com to my friends.
Very nice sinks that would match multiple decor. Smoky, thick glass.ay attention to the size. They are large. A bit big for a single vanity unless its a little bigger than standard.
We have an uba-tuba (dark) granite on our guest room cabinet. This black/blue beautiful glass sink fit perfectly and created the look we envision

Why does the Bible say that Abraham sacrificed his "only-begotten son" (Heb. 11:17, Gen. 22:2) despite the fact that Isaac had a step-brother Ishmael who was 14 years older than Isaac and was in fact the first-born son of Abraham?
migrated from christianity.stackexchange.com Mar 13 '12 at 2:34
This question came from our site for committed Christians, experts in Christianity and those interested in learning more.
Short Answer: I think there is precedent for considering Isaac Abraham's "only son" in one sense despite the fact that Ishamel was also technically his son in another sense based solely on the fact that Ishmael was born by Hagar the concubine and not by Sarah his wife.
The "contradiction"
In Genesis 22:2 God said to Abraham:
The difficulty in interpreting this statement is that all throughout Genesis, Ishmael (who was born to Abraham first) is also considered Abraham's son. For example:
So how could Abraham's only son be Isaac if Ishmael was also his son?
Abram vs. Abraham?
Someone might think that Ishmael was Abram's son, but not Abraham's son. But we have passages like the following which disprove this solution:
This means that Ishmael was definitely considered Abraham's son (in some sense, at that particular point in time)... so to call Isaac his only son just a few chapters later must mean that there was some distinction, either:
(This is just the law of non-contradiction applied to this particular challenge. Either the sense is different, or the timing is different, or there is indeed a contradiction.)
Did Ishmael lose his status as "son"?
Someone might think that Ishmael was Abraham's son in Genesis 17, but sometime between then and Genesis 22:2 he lost his status as "son." At first glance this seems plausible, since Ishmael was driven out in Genesis 21. But there are two major problems with this interpretation:
1. The way Abraham and God care for Ishmael in Genesis 21
After they were sent away Hagar ran out of water and her and Ishmael wept. God heard Ishmael crying and told Hagar:
Then God provided water for them, and then it says "God was with the lad".
So we see here that Ishmael was not going to be an heir with Isaac, but he was still counted as Abraham's son / descendant by both God and Abraham, and he is cared for by both God and Abraham. The picture here is of Ishmael losing his inheritance, but he was still Abraham's son.
2. Later references continue to count Ishmael as Abraham's son
This is the smoking gun against this theory. Note that all of the following references to Ishmael's sonship come after Genesis 21:
Could Isaac have been Abraham's "only son" in a different sense of the word?
The last remaining option for reconciling this alleged contradiction is to explore the possibility that Ishmael was Abraham's son in one sense, but Isaac was Abraham's "only son" in another sense. But is there any textual support for considering such a possibility? It would seem that there is. Consider the following example regarding Gideon, his "seventy sons," and that other son, Abimelech, who never seems to get counted with the rest.
Gideon had many sons:
Note that while his concubine "bore him a son," the child was not counted amongst his "sons who were his direct descendants." In other words, the concubine bore a son for him, but the child was not his "son" in the same sense as these "direct descendants" were.
Later, after the death of Gideon, Abimelech goes to the people of Shechem (where his concubine mother was from) and tries to persuade them to follow him instead of the seventy. Listen to how he appeals to them:
Note that even Abimelech himself does not consider himself part of "all the sons of Jerubbaal." What the example from Abimelech's life shows us is that a "son" in one sense can be excluded from the list of "sons" in another sense. In the case of Abimelech it was because he was born of a concubine and not by one of Gideon's wives.
Now, was Ishmael a different kind of "son" than Isaac? It turns out he was, in a number of ways:
So, was Ishmael Abraham's son? Yes! In one sense; according to the flesh.
Was Isaac Abraham's "only son"? Yes! In another sense; according to the promise. Abraham's "only son" came by his only wife, according to God's only promise, and thus, it was only in Isaac that Abraham's descendants would be named. And incidentally, this is exactly the conclusion that a number of esteemed Biblical commentators have come to, e.g.:
The text in Genesis does not say "only-begotten" but does say "only". The beginning of the verse is:
My literal translation:
This is clearly a problem, as Avraham has two sons. So "only" can't mean "only existing".
Only remaining son?
The word translated "your only [one]" is יְחִידְךָ , which is also the word used in later Hebrew for (temporary) seclusion with one other person. (This is not attested in Strong's entry for the word; this is later usage.) In this context I think this means "only" in the sense of "only son remaining" -- Yishmael has been banished already; he is no longer part of Avraham's household or day-to-day life. Clearly Avraham does have another son, acknowledged repeatedly by the text, but this leaves room for "only", referring to Yitzchak, to mean something more localized and perhaps temporary.
Only one you love?
The proximity of "only" to "whom you love" suggests another possibility -- that while Avraham had two sons, he loved one and not the other (by the time of this event). The rabbis recorded an aggadah (midrashic story) about this that appears to argue against this interpretation, with the conversation going roughly like this
God: Take your son.
(Babylonian talmud, Sanhedrin 89b.)
The straight reading of this is that "only" doesn't mean "only one he loved" (so we fall back to "only one still here"). However, it is possible to read this aggadah differently: perhaps Avraham had written off Yishmael, and God in this text is challenging that by saying "only", testing whether Avraham really believes that -- and Avraham realizes he doesn't. The wonderful and frustrating thing about aggadah is that it's not always clear. It's also not text, so it can inform interpretation but not replace it.
But what about concubines?
Another answer suggests that Yishmael's status as the son of a concubine (Hagar) affects his status as a son of Avraham. However, the four sons of Yaakov's concubines -- Dan, Naftali, Gad, and Asher -- are all treated by the text as equal in all respects to their eight brothers, the children of Rachel and Leah (Yaakov's wives). The text refers to all of Yaakov's twelve sons as his (Gen 33, Gen 49), they all receive deathbed blessings from him (Gen 49), their tribes all receive land according to the same rules (Num 34) (save Levi, but that's unrelated), and they are otherwise treated as equals. In fact, Yaakov even gives Yosef a double share (normally due the firstborn) by adopting his two sons, and he didn't father them at all.
That Yishmael and Avimelech are treated differently than their brothers must be for other reasons, not maternal status. Children can become estranged from or rejected by fathers and siblings for all sorts of reasons.
"Only" can't mean that Avraham really only has one son; he doesn't. At the time of this divine command, however, Avraham has only one son in his life and in favor. Alternatively, an argument can be made that Avraham only loved one of them.
Please note: This answer was written for a neutral, academic audience and is not intended to be interpreted in the context of a religious belief or doctrine.
As with all other textual inconsistencies, this is completely resolved by the documentary hypothesis. Chapter 22 is an Elohist narrative, and in this chapter we learn that Ishmael is either absent from the Elohist narrative or is second born. Either that, or as the Muslim tradition upholds, later redactors replaced Ishmael with Isaac in the story, to make the lesson of the story, abolishing child sacrifice, more appropriate for the descendents of Isaac.
This is classic prophetic riddle:
Ishmael was born to Abram, Isaac was born to Abraham. Abraham was a new man and had an only son.
Also Only יחידכ not only means 'only' but 'darling'. Isaac was clearly Abraham's darling son. Hidden in יחידכ is יחי which means 'he shall live'. Isaac was the son of promise and God declared 'he shall live' even as he asked Abraham to sacrifice him.
Genesis 22:2 in the Greek (transliterated from LXX) reads:
labe ton hyon soy ton agapeton hon egapesas ton Isaak
Take the son of you, the beloved whom you love, the Isaac
Why Hebrew 11:17 renders Isaac to be 'ton monogene' remains a good question.
Isaac is the Promise made by YHWH- and Ishmael is created out of man's desires not the Promise of God. Next, one should note that this is not about the promise but rather the Promise Maker and Keeper--See, God made a promise pertaining to the descendants of Abraham by His own choosing and not the choosing of man. Hagar/Ishmael are man's work and not divine work--So, here is how 'one, only loved sone' comes into play!
Abraham and Sarah had one son named Issac. This blessed union, shows the inheritance of Issac from Abraham and Sarah. Abraham's only son in this blessed union between he and Sarah. Ishmael could not share this blessing with Issac because he was not of Abraham and Sarah. This blessing was of Abraham and Sarah. Ishmael and his mother, Hagar had a blessing from God in which was their own. Likewise, Issac could not share in Ismael's blessings because they were not Issac's, those blessings belonged to Hagar and Ishmael. Issac could not have inheritance in Ismael's blessings because he was not inherent to that blessing.
In much the same way, Adam is called the son of God, and Jesus is called the "only begotten Son of God". Jesus is called the second Adam. Wherein the first Adam inheritance was lost and the second Adam- Jesus the inheritance was given.
The bible is not in conflict with itself because it says and describes that Abraham had two sons, Ismael and Issac. The only refers to the right of inheritance- From Abraham.
In fact- Abraham recognized Issac as his son, and even according to scripture Hagar and Ishmael were driven away excluded because of internal conflicts between Sarah and Hagar. Sarah was Abraham's wife; but, Hagar was not.
Hagar tried to undermine Sarah's standing and relationship with Abraham, seeing that Sarah was childless, and tried for a role reversal. Sarah was affected by Hagar's action and Abraham became aware Sarah's condition resulting the sending away of Hagar and her son Ishmael. The 'only begotten' refers to the special blessing of a divine inheritence from the Father. He is the only one entitled to this Blessing, this blessing is through him, whom this blessing is given.

Phoronix: Revenge On Reverse Engineering
Revenge, a clean-room reverse engineering utility being developed by Oliver McFadden for Radeon graphics cards, is nearing its 1.0 release. This utility is designed for reverse engineering the ATI graphics cards and their binary driver.
I'd like to help. Is there a deb package for Ubuntu? Also, how will this affect my everyday computer use? With the machine be slower/more crash prone/something else?
documentation is not going to cover everything....
as ati said - radeonhd will be a simple opensource driver, with basic functionality.
when ati will release final set of docs and say that it's not going to release any more - then revenge will be put to use again. it's going to be way easier then, since many registers name and behavior will be already known.
well, sorryy about that
but that's common knowledge. isn't it?
"la la la la la la...."
I think there are two different discussions going on here -- one about Conntest and one about Revenge.
Conntest is a utility the SuSE guys used to collect connector information on cards so that they could put the resulting info into the radeonhd driver and support new configurations. Those reports are generally not needed any more since the driver now picks up connector info from AtomBIOS. Revenge is a reverse engineering tool designed to intercept driver accesses to help figure out how to program the chip.
Without sounding naive, our plan is to release all the information we can have in the public domain with acceptable business risk, so that open source developers can spend more time writing great drivers and less time trying to understand the hardware.
If the outcome of our documentation effort is that we just raise the starting point for reverse engineering, which will pretty much guarantee that RE efforts will discover and disclose information which puts our business at risk, that's not a great way to motivate other HW suppliers (or even AMD) to support open source development in the future.
I am asking you to fundamentally re-think the relationship between open source developers and hardware vendors, at least in our case. Make sense ?
Now, where was I ? Oh yes, "la la la la la ...."

You see...
Media Companies: Multi-Billion Dollar Business.
Hardware and Software Companies: Multi-TRILLION Dollar Business that hardly depends on the other to exist.
You don't NEED them. Honest.
There's enough wonderous stuff popping up without the Warner's and Disney's of the world- and it's happening in spite of them. That's because they're more interested in strip mining the profits out of Culture and trying to "dictate" what is and isn't Culture.
There's a sign on a roof garden in London -- "Gentlemen will not, and others must not pick the flowers". So far I've run into nothing but gentlemen.
As it stands, while I've issues with DRM and all, I'll take what all I can get in the way of this sort of support you're working towards giving us. I wish it was happening faster (as the proprietary stuff just isn't there yet- sorry...) so we could get enough up that I don't have to question whether or not one of the titles I'm working on will have adequate driver support or not. As it stands right now, your main competitor has the only suitable parts and adequate drivers. I don't like that situation, as I'm sure you and AMD don't like it either.
I think you'll find that I fit into the Gentlemen category in that analogy. I won't go and do RE on things unless it becomes clear that I won't get the info I need and I actually NEED some functionality.There's a sign on a roof garden in London -- "Gentlemen will not, and others must not pick the flowers". So far I've run into nothing but gentlemen.
Too easy to alienate a vendor otherwise- too easy to negotiate a rational response to things like DRM support in the hardware.
I'm not 100% sure that's what'll happen. We're already about to hit a threshold where the DRM and other stuff like it will get enough in the way of people doing things they've gotten used to doing that they'll quit buying the tech gear. What happens then?Yeah, last time I looked the entertainment business was smaller than the potato chip business. Question is what the exit strategy would be -- if we say "we're not supporting DRM any more" the OEMs will thank us for sharing our views, make it clear that they respect our philosophical stand, and then buy all their graphics chips from Green or Blue.
I'm not much farther behind you there. All I care to watch is things like Future Weapons on Discovery- and the music I listen to the most isn't signed on a label and you find the live performances in Renaissance Festivals.I wouldn't know... I don't watch television. Just old Sledge Hammer re-runs
What the Media Companies tend to offer these days is Excrement Locked In A Safe. No thanks, I'll pass on that.

Nkiru Sylvanus Secretly Married to Vice President's Aide as 2nd Wife?
Few days after she was released from kidnappers den, Nollywood actress and Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Nkiru Sylvanus got married to her long time heartthrob secretly, yemojanews.com can exclusively revealed.
The man who swept the actress feet is the media spokesman of Vice President Namadi Sambo, Mallam Umar Sani. Our sources revealed that the wedding which held two weeks ago was given a media blackout and attended by handful of family members.
we nkirugathered that the wedding was made hush-hush because of the media attention that greeted the kidnapping of the actress and because the VP's media man has a wife already which will make Nkiru his second wife.
Nkiru Sylvanus was kidnapped by some gunmen in Owerri on Saturday, December 15, 2012 and demanded a ransom of 100 million naira for her release.
The actress was released about a week after, though there were unconfirmed reports that a ransom was paid.
One of the Vice President's Spokesman's friends confirmed the marriage and told yemojanews.com that, "it is not for public knowledge".
We learnt Nkiru and Umar Sani had been dating for a while and it was Sani, who got the political appointment for the actress in Imo State.
"Umar Sani and Rochas Okorocha are close friends. Umar facilitated Nkiru's appointment in Imo State. You know Nkiru is from Abia State and not Imo", our source declared.
The source further told us that it was Umar Sani that paid ransom of several millions of naira which made the kidnappers to release the actress

I heard Okorocha wasn't happy that she went off with this guy. He wasn't going to marry anyway and I guess she had to move on. Also, the pressure from the First Lady was heavy.Delete
This guy didn't get her the job in Imo State. She was the first ambassador for the Face of Hope project by the Rochas Okorocha foundation. Her progress started from there.
Polygamy isn't the preserve of any one tribe in Nigeria. If you attribute it to Igbos or Yorubas then your ignorance is quite stark!

Another lovely ornament, I purchased both white and red wine personalized ornaments. They are fun and add a touch of fun to the Christmas Tree. The delivery was really fast. I didn't expect them to arrive before Christmas as I didn't discover the website until a few days before. They arrived the day after so I was able to hang them on the tree.

Death in Paradise
Series Description: Sent to the tiny island of Saint-Marie to solve a mysterious murder, Detective Inspector Richard Poole is a total fish out of water. A quintessentially British cop, he would much prefer the London drizzle and a freshly pressed shirt to blue seas, sparkling sands and gorgeous tropical weather. This warm, light-hearted detective series takes place against a stunning Caribbean island backdrop - as far away from the grey skies of London as you could possibly get. What Richard finds is a ramshackle station and a very different type of policing. The fact that there's a goat in one of the cells says it all. He can't get out of there fast enough, but there's a job to do and he does it brilliantly. His reward - a permanent posting to the island, his own personal hell on Earth. He may be stuck there, but he's not going to let his standards slip. He'll bring British rigor to this relaxed Caribbean workplace. Always in a suit and tie, eschewing sandals for a stout brogue, he's the very embodiment of the Englishman abroad. He can get through his ordeal, if only he could find a decent cup of tea.

Iranian opposition calls for protest on Feb. 14
Will the wave of revolution that is sweeping through the Arab World revive Iran's Green Movement? Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, have called for a day of protests on February 14th, in support of the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, sparking lively reaction online.
Numerous student associations across the country have already responded to the appeal and close to 30 000 web users have joined this Facebook group devoted to this day of mobilization.
Cyber censorship has been considerably reinforced in recent weeks and so activists have also been encouraging citizens to take part in the upcoming demonstrations by writing messages on bank notes.
Messages are also springing up in the streets. Written in telephone boxes, and on walls, slogans attacking Tehran's government have recently been multiplying on the urban landscape.
The demonstrations have not been authorized by the authorities however, although they officially expressed support of the Egyptian uprising which they considered to be an Islamic Revolution: a paradoxical situation according to Mehdi Karroubi who, according to his web site, has been placed under house arrest this week.
But campaigning on the Internet continues nonetheless. Many posters created by anonymous activists are circulating online calling upon Iranians to take to the streets on the 14th of February. This one is reminding people that the Iranian constitution ensures the right to peaceful demonstrations.
"Supergranny" becomes new Internet superstar
« The Handbag heroin » and also « Supergranny » : These are just some of the nicknames British web users have been giving to Ann Timson. This 71 year old woman has become a hot topic online ever since this video was posted on the web. We see her chase away 6 men trying to rob a jewelers in Northampton in England. Her intervention has been widely discussed online.
Scores of Twitter users are hailing Ann Timson's act and admiring her bravery. They are describing her as a genuine modern day heroine as well as an example for the younger generation.
The thread #supergran has been set up in honour of the online superstar. Web users can pay tribute to her or share the latest pieces of information concerning this extraordinary granny. Some are even wondering if Ann Timson should be awarded an OBE for her exceptional act.
And fans are having a field day on Facebook. And since the video of her exploits was posted online, many groups, like these ones, once again praising her actions, have been set up.
And these exploits have inspired online artists, like the creator of this photomontage depicting the grandmother in a super girl costume.
And video parodies are starting to pour into sharing sites. Here, one web user has added the "wonder woman" theme tune to the images that made Anne Timson famous and given the original video a "Batman" twist.
Grammy Awards live online
On the 13th of February, it will be possible to follow the 53rd Grammy Awards, the American music industry's most prestigious awards ceremony live from anywhere in the world via the sites Grammy.com and YouTube. A temporary online channel devoted entirely to the Grammy Awards, called Grammy Live, is to be set up for the occasion, and will also offer additional videos, and photos.
Barbie and Ken
Should Barbie take Ken back? It's up to web users' to decide. The famous doll duo separated in 2004 but might just get back together for Valentine's Day. Well, this is the theme of the online campaign launched by toy manufacturer Mattel. Ken tries to win back Barbie using social networks and an online dating site. The scenario is well put together AND web users get to have their say. And so far, fans of the famous blond haired doll do not seem ready to give a potential reconciliation their blessing.
Video of the day
The maker of this video, filmed in the Norwegian fjords, had the astonishing idea of practicing his two favourite activities, ice skating and swimming, at the same time. He skates across a frozen lake and then dives into the water for a few lengths, despite the particularly low temperature. This original sporting activity is not likely to attract new enthusiasts very easily.

Discussion in 'Red Sox Fan Forum' started by IcyPatriot, Sep 29, 2011.
deep breaths everyone, put the safety on and put the gun down.....
What a relief. No more Bankofamericasox 'til 2012.
That was embarrassing....... This team didn't deserve to make the playoffs after that September.
Luckily i don't live and die by them like I did in my younger years.
Go Patriots!
Go Bruins!
Yeah that's a good thing hah, I feel weird saying this, but the sox losing is almost a relief. At least this nightmare is finally over, I couldn't take it any more. Like you said, go pats, go bruins
i can't remember the last time 2 teams in the same season had such epic september chokes as the braves and red sox
how do you blow a 3-2 lead in baltimore with the star closer, and 2 outs none on , knowing you need the win to at least force a playoff
and it's like the yanks hate you guys so much, they prolonged the game, until they knew your outcome....
2006: Pats blow 21-3 halftime lead in AFC Championship game.
2007: Pats blow SB42 and 19-0 season.
2010: Bruins blow 3-0 Eastern Conference Finals lead.
2010: Celtics blow 13 point second-half lead in game 7 of NBA Finals.
2011: Red Sox blow 9 game Wild Card lead with 24 games remaining in season.
For all the amazing success Boston sports teams have had, we've also had some legendary ugly chokes recently.
What the f--- happened??? I fell asleep and all was right in the world. We were winning 3-2 and Yankees/Rays was still tied. Now I have to wake up to this?!?
Yeah this one stings, no doubt about it, honestly though, I think pap has to go....and if Lackey is on our staff next year I will tear someone a new one....It is kind of comforting to know that the braves went down just as hard as we did LOL, anyways I won't be losing sleep tonight, just a game, sox will come back with a vengeance next year.
I just said the same thing, thank God this September nightmare is over and we can concentrate on the Pats.
Sept 1st the Sox and the Braves both had 9 game leads in the WC, both blew em tonight, who do you think will get the headlines for biggest choke job ever?
2011 demonstrated that the strengths of the Red Sox were not enough to cover for the many and varied faults of the Red Sox.
2012 HAS to be all about pitching. I don't care for offense I want to see pitching, pitching, pitching and more pitching.
Sox were 77-0 when leading after 8 innings, you guessed it, until tonight.
Last year's team of plug-in players won 89 games. This year's power stack of superstars? ONE more game - 90.
Crawford should have caught that ball...
Man, I was actually floating around 2 hrs ago saying the Sox would prove them all wrong when we were up and Tampa was down 7-0.
Francoma couldn't carry Joe Maddon's spare eyeglass case.
yeah i think the red sox will spend even more next year
they're going to need to rebuild the rotation and pen, right?
At least tampa will have to trade all their good players cuz they can't afford to keep them, I would give anything to see longoria in a sox jersey, dude is a monster.
Money can't buy you championships, Theo ! Have fun with 3 yrs of John SLackey at 80million and 7 or 8 or 9 or whatever # years of Carl Croakford at 150 million, while you still paying Millions for Dice-IR, Julio Lugo, Edgar Rent-a-wreck
Tito Santana will be fired, and Theodore will be moving onto GM of the loser cubs.
I knew it was on you .......... no more sleeping during games.
Maddon will be wearing his skinny jeans tomorrow.
Well we were spared the spectacle of seeing them embarrassed in the playoffs by the Rangers.
losing a 13 point lead in bball is hardly choking but blowing a 9 game lead in sept is a monumental bust puke ****ting your pants choke job for sure. i just hope there are some major changes like a new gm. where is keyser soze with his pearls of wisdom?

text: 2005 ALEXIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON Add To Cart $190.00 / 1.5 Liter Be the first to review this item » Profile Reviews Wine Specs Vintage 2005 Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation Oakville Harvest Date October 7-17 Alcohol % 14.8 Wine Profile Vineyard Notes The 2005 growing season debuted with wet weather, followed by a moderately dry March. Ample rainfall extended well into spring, resulting in relatively late bloom and fruit set. Unseasonable precipitation in early June led to a fairly cool, pleasant summer, with very few heat spikes. Initially, there was a concern in September that cool weather and morning fog would not allow adequate time for a somewhat larger than normal crop to mature fully. However, a seemingly endless Indian summer, albeit later than usual, presented the conditions necessary to achieve optimum ripeness for our Oakville Cabernet. The long growing season encouraged the development of very ripe aromas and tannins at ideal sugar and acid levels. Winemaker Notes 2005 is a classic Oakville Cabernet vintage, so it is no surprise that this wine exhibits such heady aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, black licorice and mocha. The mouth has superb structure, with plenty of the fine-grained, round ripe tannins as we have come to expect from the Schmidt Ranch. Notes of black cherry and cassis linger on the palate. The 2005 Alexis Cabernet promises to be enjoyable for at least 20 years. Product Reviews Be the first to review this item » View Product Details »
