'Downton Abbey' Renewed for Fourth Season on Britain's ITV
LONDON - U.K. TV network operator ITV plans to bring back hit show Downton Abbey for a fourth season. It announced the re-commission on Friday.
The costume drama, which stars Maggie Smith and others, finished its third season on ITV1 in early November with a season-high ratings performance, bringing to an end what the network said was the highest-rated season of the show to-date.
In its Sunday night slot, the series from Julian Fellowes, who recently signaled optimism that the series would return, managed to beat music competition show X Factor late in the season in average viewership, even though peak viewership for X Factor typically outperformed Downton.
ITV said that the third season of the period drama, which in the U.S. will start on PBS on Jan. 6, averaged 9.7 million viewers when including delayed viewing on the same day, for example via DVR. Season one had averaged 8.4 million viewers, and season two had averaged 9.5 million.
ITV, which will air a two-hour Downton Abbey special on Christmas Day like it had done last year, has been expected to order a fourth season of the drama due to solid live viewership and boosts in delayed viewing. This year's holiday special sees Lord and Lady Grantham and family heading for a summer break in the Highlands of Scotland, leaving most of their servants back at home, ITV said Friday.
The fourth season will be set in the early 1920s and return to ITV in the fall of 2013, followed by an extended Christmas special. Filming is set to start in February.
Gareth Neame, managing director of NBCUniversal production label Carnival Films and executive producer of Downton said the new season will include some new faces. "Viewers can look forward to more drama, comedy, love, hatred, jealousy, rivalry, ambition, despair and romance," he said.
Laura Mackie, director of drama at ITV, added: "We're thrilled to welcome back a drama series that has become a much anticipated part of all our lives every autumn and achieved success around the globe.

Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet
I wake. Yes, it's a coffin lid.-With effort
I reach my hands out and I call
For help. Yes, I recall the tortures
Of dying.-Yes, this is no dream!-
And without effort, like a spider web
I push aside my casket's rotting wood
And stand. How bright the winter light appears
In the crypt's doorway! Can I doubt it?-
I see the snow. The crypt's without a door.
It's time to head for home. How stunned they'll be!
I know this park, I cannot lose my way.
But oh how different it looks now!
I hurry. Snowdrifts. Frigid boughs
Of dead trees poke deep into the sky,
There are no tracks or sounds. It's still.
The realm of death in an enchanted world.
And here's my home. But what decay!
I'm shocked by this heartbreaking sight.
The village sleeps beneath a snowy blanket,
There is no path in all the boundless steppe.
Yes, there it is: upon a far-off hill
I see the ancient belfry of the church.
A frozen traveler in the whirling snow,
It stands out clear against the cloudless span.
No winter birds or midges dot the snow.
I understand: the earth has long lain chill
And dead. For whom do I conserve
The breath within my chest? To whom did death
Return me? What's my mind
Connected to? And what's its final purpose?
Where shall I go if there is no one to embrace?
And time has lost itself in space?
O, Death, return! And hasten to assume
The fatal burden of this final life.
And you, stiff corpse of earth take flight
And bear my corpse on the eternal path!

Intellitouch cost
nlionOctober 13, 2010
We have a Pebbletech pool, infloor cleaning system, Intellichlor salt system, no spa. We are in Arizona. Can somebody give me a general idea of what it might cost to add Intellitouch with a wireless controller to our pool?
Thanks very much!
I had an EasyTouch (4 channel, pool only model), with an IC-40, wireless remote, and two actuators (solar and water feature) installed for $2K.
Frequently the IC-40 and automation is sold as a bundle, so you probably cannot recoup the total savings for already having the Intellichlor part. At least online prices imply there is bundled savings.

Major peer-review scandal causes withdrawal of 43 published scientific papers
ThereŌĆÖs a lot of unsettled science going on these days. The peer-review system, which is supposed to serve as a quality assurance system, allowing credentialed experts to pass judgment on new research before it is published, is breaking down. The latest in a series of scandals involves 43 papers, but more are expected to follow.
Fred Barbash of the Washington Post reports:
A major publisher of scholarly medical and science articles has retracted 43 papers because of ŌĆ£fabricatedŌĆØ peer reviews amid signs of a broader fake peer review racket affecting many more publications.

The ŌĆśbutcherŌĆÖ croc that ruled the world before the dinosaurs
Scientists in the US have discovered a terrifying land-living crocodile, which lived in what is now North Carolina 230 million years ago.
The crocodile, called Carnufex carolinensis, which literally means the Carolina butcher, was a very early member of the crocodile family, but unlike its modern ancestors it was not aquatic, nor a quadruped but prowled around on two legs.
It was about 3 meters long and about 1.5 meter tall and had blade-like teeth and a long skull.

And if the machine looks like the product of a science fiction authorŌĆÖs imagination, it may be because its inventors were inspired by the killer robot, T-1000, that rises menacingly from a puddle of molten metal in the film.

The only real "trick" I have that I havent seen anyone else doing (I am sure they are, I just havent seen it!).
It is a bottling from the keg trick:
My bottle filling wand fits nicely into the spout of my perlick taps (doesnt work with regular taps). Its not air/liquid tight so I take about a foot of teflon and wrap around until firmly in place. The teflon is enough to keep it sealed as well as hold up to the pressure.
Once the bottling wand is secured with the tape, I open the tap and then bottle away.
FWIW I dont make any adjustments to co2 pressure. Just cap the foam.
If I'm racking a beer I used a lot of dry hops in, I use this strainer over the end of my auto siphon. I just bent the handle up so I can hold the autosiphon and the strainer in the same hand. It's deep enough so that I can keep the tip of the autosiphon below the surface of the beer but keep the edge of the strainer above it, which keeps all the nasty hop particals and floaters out.
I started doing this because whenever I'd put a paint strainer over the end of the autosiphon, it would end up getting sucked in and clogging the siphon anyway.
I always keep a packet of Champagne, Nottingham, and Safale S-05 in the fridge. I'm pretty much covered that way for any oh crap moments.
I measure out plenty of water in my Kettle for the mash and sparge and dose it with Campden tablets while leaving it sit on top of my stove (gas) overnight. This takes care of any chances of Chloramine in the water. When I get up the next morning for brew day I just turn the gas on high. My stove doesn't get hot enough for a full boil, but it will bring it to mashing temps no problem.
I bottle from a keg, rather than a bottling bucket, even when naturally carbing. Hitting it with 10 PSI and using one of the Biermuncher Bottle fillers works great. I am always certain I have nothing but CO2, and I can thoroughly mix the sugar and any other additives I might need to put in at bottling time (vanilla, coffee, etc).
I use a 12 gallon seafood steamer as my kettle, got it for $35 from the local grocery store, no enamel to worry about chipping. It's worked great for 10+ batches so far. It even comes with its own false bottom.
This isn't my trick but I saw it on one of the other posts somewhere on this forum...to help oxygenate the wort before pitching the yeast, put the wort into the bottling bucket, open the spigot and let the wort drain down into your fermenter.
I was just thinking about making one of these threads...
For those of you not lucky enough to have a keg/tap setup for bottling (yet), connect your bottling wand to your bottling bucket spout with minimal (1") hose. Set that on the counter and move your bottles up to the wand, instead of your wand down into the bottle on the floor. It's right in front of your face and easier to control. (I learned that on HBT.)
Cut the little ring off of your bottle brush and put it in the chuck of your cordless drill (unless you clean bottles with bleach). It'll zap anything in the bottles about 20x faster than by hand.

Saturnine character actor Martin Landau was a staff cartoonist for the New York Daily News before switching to acting. In 1955, his career got off to a promising beginning, when out of 2,000 applicants, only he and one other actor (Steve McQueen) were accepted by Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio.
Extremely busy in the days of live, Manhattan-based television, Landau made his cinematic mark with his second film appearance, playing James Mason's henchman in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959). In 1966, Landau and his wife Barbara Bain were both cast on the TV adventure/espionage series Mission: Impossible. For three years, Landau portrayed Rollin Hand, a master of disguise with the acute ability to impersonate virtually every villain who came down the pike (banana-republic despots were a specialty). Unhappy with changes in production personnel and budget cuts, Landau and Bain left the series in 1969. Six years later, they costarred in Space: 1999 a popular syndicated sci-fi series; the performances of Landau, Bain, and third lead Barry Morse helped to gloss over the glaring gaps in continuity and logic which characterized the show's two-year run. The couple would subsequently act together several times (The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island (1981) was one of the less distinguished occasions) before their marriage dissolved.
Working steadily in various projects throughout the next few decades, Landau enjoyed a career renaissance with two consecutive Oscar nominations, the first for Francis Ford Coppola's Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), and the second for Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). Landau finally won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's 1994 Ed Wood; his refusal to cut his acceptance speech short was one of the high points of the 1995 Oscar ceremony. He would continue to work over the next several years, appearing in movies like City of Ember and Mysteria, as well as on TV shows like Without a Trace and Entourage.

"No, I don't even know where he is. My mom's been doing a great job, but dealing with twin four-year-olds is tough when you're sixty-eight."
"Any other family around to help?"
"I'm an only child, so it's just me and my mom. Dad died a few years ago."
"Let me know if there's anything my wife and I can do to help."
"Thanks, Captain, I will," replied Hearn, ending the conversation for the moment.
Concord was now 4,000 yards away from the opening through the Chesapeake Bridge-Tunnel. There was a myriad of small boats in the area to watch out for and, moving at fifteen knots, Concord would be through the opening in four minutes.
On the main deck crewmembers patrolled with loaded weapons while down below others were finishing last-minute packing or donning their dress-white uniforms prior to manning the rail for entering port. Six thirty-foot Navy security boats, each with a four-man crew and mounting two machine guns, designated Papa 1 through 6, wove a protective pattern around Concord. Overhead an Air Cobra attack helicopter circled. Further out a local television station helicopter kept pace, its crew filming Concord's return for the evening news.
"Bridge, Lookout."
"Bridge, aye," replied Lieutenant Pete Spectle, the Junior Officer of the Deck.
"Bridge, I got what looks to be a boat on fire, two people onboard, bearing zero-nine-zero, range one thousand yards."
"Bridge aye," acknowledged Spectle. Wallace, overhearing the report, issued the orders: "Have Papa six investigate and send a MAYDAY to the Coast Guard on channel sixteen."
"Aye, aye. Captain."
Picking up a radio handset, and using Concord's tactical call sign "Minuteman," Spectle radioed the instructions to Papa 6, patrolling astern of Concord. As the boat peeled off at high speed in response to the order, the lookout called:
"Bridge, there are two speedboats bearing three-four-zero and two speedboats bearing zero-two-zero off the bow, range to all four boats approximately two thousand yards and closing."
Spectle again acknowledged the report: "Lookout, Bridge. Roger, we see them."
He relayed the report to the captain.
"Pass the info to Papa One and Papa Two and have them intercept," ordered Wallace.
"Aye, aye, Captain," responded Spectle. "Papa one, Papa two, this is ¬Minuteman, over."
"Minuteman, this is Papa One, over."
"Papa one, be advised there are four, repeat four speed boats on our bow, two to port, two to starboard, range approximately two thousands yards. Intercept and report. Over."
"Roger," Papa 1answered, and then radioed, "Papa Two, take the two to starboard. I'll cover the two to port." Papa 1 and 2 increased speed and headed for the contacts while Papa 3 and Papa 4 moved from their positions to cover the now-exposed area ahead of the cruiser.
As Papa 1 approached the intruders, one of her crew yelled, "Will you look at this!" Each speedboat had a gorgeous bikini-clad brunette standing up in the bow, waving a "Welcome Home" banner.
"Minuteman, this is Papa Two. The contacts look like a welcoming committee."
"Papa Two, roger, move them out of the zone."
"With pleasure. Out."
With most of the attention focused on Papa 1 and 2, Wallace focused on Papa 6. Through his binoculars he saw Papa 6 pull alongside the burning pleasure boat.
"Oh my God," he whispered as the burning boat exploded, obliterating itself and Papa 6.
"Spectle, order Papa Five and Hawk One to head for the scene and sound the Rescue and Assistance alarm."
Overhead the Air Cobra, with Papa 5 following, headed for the smoke and flotsam marking the remains of Papa 6.
With most of the ship's crew preparing to deal with the disaster astern, Papa 1 and Papa 2 moved toward the four speed boats off the bow. On board Concord, the Bridge Watch monitored the operations. After getting a good look at the incoming boats, Wallace told Hearn, "Looks like they have it under control."
Closing the last hundred feet to their respective targets, weapons ready, the Papa crews tensed as the girls reached down and brought up brightly-colored water guns.
"Don't shoot!" the Navy gunners called out to their mates, "they're super-soaker water guns." Everybody relaxed.
Seeing the water guns, Spectle muttered, "Looks like somebody's idea of a joke."
When the smiling women fired, bullets from their disguised AK-47s ripped the Navy crews to shreds. After eliminating the closest security boats, the intruders' guns turned first on the two remaining security boats, then the cruiser.
Dashing to the 1MC, the ship's public-address system, Wallace yelled, "Deck Security, open fire, repeat, open fire. All hands, man your Battle Stations. Set Condition Zebra." The last meant all doors and hatches were to be closed, turning the hull into a series of watertight compartments.
Blood ran down Concord's sides as the attackers' fire tore into her crew. A ragged cheer went up when defensive fire killed one of the bikini-clad terrorists. The cheering stopped as the boat kept heading straight for Concord's bow. Zigzagging, the other three boats drove on, their hulls splintered, the women gunners dead, but the helmsmen were safe behind armor-plated consoles.
Harry "Slick" Jones, coxswain of Papa 4, was dying; the rest of his crew was already dead. "Just one," Jones prayed. "Just let me take one of the bastards with me."
The fourth attacker had swung wide, apparently heading for Concord's stern. Using skills honed by a lifetime on the water, Jones instantly calculated an intercept point. The enemy coxswain didn't see Papa 4 approaching until it was too late. Screaming "So long, mother-fucker!" Jones rammed the speedboat's side, triggering an explosion which pulverized the two craft.
The explosion rocked Concord, and before anyone could recover, the remaining three boats, each loaded with explosives, crashed into the cruiser's hull and detonated, catapulting people into steel walls, crushing limbs and lives. The blast blew the bridge windows inward; screams and black smoke wafted upward. A piece of glass ripped open Debra Hearn's throat, showering Wallace with blood. The helmsman's legs were shattered, the bones sticking out from tattered trousers. Others were dazed, wounded or unconscious.
Groping his way to the intercom, Wallace called: "Damage Control, this is the Bridge. Report." Waiting for the reply, he tried to wipe Hearn's blood from his eyes and face.
The team at Damage Control Central, buried in the bowels of the ship, had been badly shaken, but was still functioning. Commander Juan Ramirez, the Executive Officer, scanned the status boards by the light of battery-powered battle lanterns and listened to reports pouring in from the Damage Control parties investigating interior spaces. The news was all bad. Fires from electrical short circuits and ruptured fuel lines raged unchecked. Ladders were down, blocking passageways; jammed hatches prevented access to spaces, trapping many of the crew below decks. In the darkness the survivors crawled on hands and knees, looking for ways out that no longer existed.
"Captain, there's a fifteen-foot hole in the port bow, and a twenty-by-ten gash amidships starboard side," Ramirez reported. "One explosive smashed the stern, opening it to the sea. We've lost power. No report from the engine room watch; they're probably dead from the explosion. No report on casualties yet. It's too soon to accurately count the dead and wounded," he concluded.
Concord's momentum kept her moving forward, toward the opening between spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Water surging into the hole in the bow pulled Concord to port, and the incoming tide pushed the ship's stern broadside across the channel. Wallace watched helplessly as the ship heeled to port and started sinking in the opening. Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Pete Spectle standing beside him.
"Mr. Spectle, order all hands to abandon ship," he said softly, knowing nothing more could be done for Concord.

Scythe Rasetsu (SCRT-1000) CPU Cooler - Specifications, Availability and PricingScythe takes the Yasya and re-engineers it to bring us the Rasetsu SCRT-1000 CPU cooler. If you're looking for respectable cooling with space constraints in mind, this could be your ticket.
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The Rasetsu draws heat up starting with a 2mm thick, nickel plated, copper base plate. Sandwiched between the base plate and the aluminum pre-cooler, the six 6mm heat pipes are soldered in place and begin the removal of heat from the processor. After two cleanly made tight bends, these pipes travel up and into one of two groups of fins. All of the fins are 0.3mm thick, with one smaller group of fins; twenty-two on this side. The other set is thirty fins in count and sits roughly 18mm from the other set, allowing room for the six heat pipes to travel up inside the cooler body. Offsetting the cooler will help with issues like memory heat spreader conflicts, and allow the Rasetsu to fit in much tighter spaces. Also helping the Rasetsu fit into more places is the fact that it is 130mm square and only 141mm tall.
As Scythe has typically done, they mated the Rasetsu with a Slip Stream fan that is both PWM controlled and offers manual control via a hardwired dial. If you don't like noise while your system runs, even though the motherboard can give varying voltage via the PWM feature, you have the option to lower these voltages even further. On its lowest setting the Slip Stream will top out at 1340 RPM, delivering up to 76.53 CFM of air flow with the benefit of only 27 dBA of noise. If you want a little more overclocking headroom, or in the warmer months, just turn up the dial and allow the fan to run at full speed. Doing so will unleash the Slip Stream, producing up 1900 RPM, just over 110 CFM of air, and gaining a fair bit of noise as well. With unique styling, a high performance fan, and mounting for processors in sockets 478 and newer Intel Processors, along with Socket 754 and newer AMD processors, the Rasetsu is a very accommodating CPU cooler.
If you are still reading this far into the review, I have to think there is some interest, and you want to know what the Rasetsu is going to set you back. Well, if you go through the usual outlets, you can find the Rasetsu on shelves at Newegg.com for $49.99. No free shipping deals this time around, so in total it will cost you in the realm of $58 to get one to your door. If you shop around a bit, and maybe don't mind dealing with some less reputable names than Newegg, there are better deals to be had by almost $10, but I cannot recommend them as I have never bought from them myself. Choices are kind of slim, though. Aside from the two I was talking about, there are only four or five others currently with stock of the Rasetsu, so that will be reflected in the scoring.

Good Laptop 12/01/2013
This review is from: ThinkPad Edge E531 (6885CCU) Notebook Intel Core i3 3110M (2.40GHz) 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Good laptop. Lots of features for the price.
Lenovo warranty on this machine is POOR. It has taken over a MONTH to get a hard drive that failed after 5 days of use. The problem isn't so much that a part failed. That happens. The problem is that Lenovo's ONLY solution is to WAIT. ....and wait and wait and wait. Still waiting. It is supposed to be here by 12/5......
Other Thoughts:
NO eggs off because of Newegg. NO eggs off on the product itself. TWO eggs off because Lenovo did not stock parts and would provide no other relief other than having to wait for a part. Glad I am not a college kid who needed his laptop for school projects....

It would be worth it to catch "Hopkins 24/7," ABC's new documentary medical mini-series, while it's still around. Because it might not be.
Airing at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on WLS-Ch. 7 through Sept. 27, it's a personal look at the staff and patients of Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Medicine. They tell their own compelling stories with little narration (provided by ABC News' Sylvia Chase) while their moves are tracked with hand-held video cameras.
In many respects, "Hopkins" is the same type of reality programming that the Learning Channel and the Discovery Channel do on a regular basis. But it's still a tribute to ABC that it invests six hours in a type of documentary that used to be the norm with networks in the 1960s and '70s.
But in a world where competition for ratings has become increasingly tight, this kind of show now is more readily available on cable, if not on one of the network newsmagazines.
So there is a good chance that if "Hopkins" doesn't hit "Survivor"-like numbers immediately, ABC might not stay with it. Look for no further proof than how Fox pulled "American High," the documentary series based at Highland Park High School, after only two weeks due to low ratings.
Like "American High" -- and unlike "Survivor and "Big Brother" -- "Hopkins" offers thoughtful exploration of a serious subject by following those who are immersed in the subject itself.
Wednesday's premiere looks at three stories:
A trauma surgeon who offsets his time patching up the wounded from the streets of Baltimore by mentoring young black boys so they don't suffer the same "consequences of negative choices."
A pediatric surgeon's efforts to help a teen girl suffering from cancer, a battle made more difficult because of what the girl's HMO won't cover.
An ailing sea turtle that is brought to Johns Hopkins because of its reputation as one of the best diagnostic hospitals in the country.
Another episode is scheduled for Thursday.
Kids WB!, which runs Sundays on WCIU-Ch. 26, presents "Generation O!," a new musical/ animated series featuring a band fronted by an 8-year-old singer and a kangaroo for a drummer, at 11:30 a.m.
Despite her best efforts, MTV's animated Dame of Droll stars in a scattershot TV movie, "Daria: Is It Fall Yet?" How Sally Sarcasm and her pals spend the summer (Daria works at a camp for sensitive kids, while feuding with best friend Jane because Daria is dating Jane's ex-boyfriend) is seen at 6 p.m.
Nice special effects and a cool hero turn by Yancy Butler make "Witchblade" a hip little action flick. Airing at 7 p.m. on TNT, it's based on a comic book about a conflicted NYPD cop who possesses a mystical, metal glove.
A 17-year-old ("The Pretender's" Ryan Merriman) restores a spacecraft in memory of his late dad, and then finds it is needed for a rescue mission, in Fox Family Channel's "Rocket's Red Glare" at 7 p.m.
Steppenwolf alums Glenne Headly and Tom Irwin team up in "Sandy Bottom Orchestra," a new Showtime film based on a Garrison Keillor novel about a family of musicians that's set for 7 p.m.
Honesty is explored on HBO's "Sex and the City" at 8 p.m., as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) thinks of spilling the beans to Aidan (John Corbett) about Big (Chris Noth), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) learns a little too much truth about her husband-to-be (Kyle MacLachlan).
With such dominating personalities as Carroll O'Connor and Norman Lear, you know there were fireworks on the set of "All in the Family." Get the full story on "The E! True Hollywood Story" at 8 p.m.
Pax TV's first new movie of its new season is "Jeremiah," with Patrick Dempsey as the biblical prophet and the late Oliver Reed as General Shapan. The film premieres at 8 p.m on WCPX-Ch. 38.
Will Sunday's episode of USA Network's "La Femme Nikita" (at 9 p.m.) be the last? Word is USA and Warner Bros. are talking about reviving the series.
WFLD-Ch. 32 offers personal conflict in the form of two law-based reality series. After the second-season premiere of "Divorce Court" at 10 and 10:30 a.m. is the debut of "Power of Attorney," which offers lawyers Christopher Darden, Gloria Allred and others to those needing legal representation, at 11 a.m.
Lifestyle expert B. Smith hosts her own cooking/entertainment/better living series on the Food Network at 11 a.m.
It's a new season of lightweight paranormal chills with the Disney Channel's "So Weird" at 4 p.m.
Showtime presents the stage production "bash: latter day plays," a trilogy of monologues about the complexities of religion and the human psyche, at 7 p.m. Stars Calista Flockhart, Ron Eldard and Paul Rudd were taped at the Canon Theater in that theater mecca, Beverly Hills.
ABC has Tiger Woods versus Sergio Garcia in a winner-takes-all match at 7 p.m. on WLS-Ch. 7.
The bitter effects of divorce and guardianship are exposed in Lifetime's "Custody of the Heart," with Lorraine Bracco of "The Sopranos" as a working mother against her stay-at-home husband (Martin Donovan). The movie is at 8 p.m.
With the college football season upon us, here's History Channel's "Gridiron Generals," some of the greatest coaches at that level of the sport. ESPN's Chris Fowler hosts at 8 p.m.
Last season, CBS aired a two-part mini-series on the JonBenet Ramsey investigation. A&E's "Investigative Reports" examines the real thing at 9 p.m.
PBS' new documentary on former Soviet Union president Boris Yeltsin is at 9 p.m. on WTTW-Ch. 11.
The makers of "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" premiere the documentary "101 Rent Boys," about male hustlers on West Hollywood's Santa Monica Blvd., at 9 p.m. on Cinemax.
Hit the beats with UPN's "Source Hip-Hop Awards" at 7 p.m. on WPWR-Ch. 50. Scheduled to appear are Chicago's Da Brat, Brandy, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Kim, Eminem, Jay-Z and hosts Busta Rhymes and "The Parkers"' Mo'Nique.
Who are the "Top Ten Stars of 2000?" A better question: Shouldn't we wait until the year is up to find out? "Access Hollywood," which is produced by NBC, hits up the parent network for the presentation at 7 p.m. on WMAQ-Ch. 5.
Reruns of "Freaks and Geeks," which deserved better than NBC gave it, air on Fox Family Channel starting at 7 p.m. with the first of two episodes running back to back.
BET Movies/Starz closes its fourth annual Pan African Film Festival at 7 p.m. with "Quilombo," the true story of a democratic society created by freed slaves in Brazil during the 17th Century.
Part of its yearlong "Hate and Violence" project is the Discovery Channel's "Warnings From a Small Town." The documentary, at 8 p.m., looks at hate groups operating on the fringes of society.
After WTTW-Ch. 11's special on the Lyric Opera's Sam Ramey at 8 p.m., it's the downfall of yet another controversial political leader, Newt Gingrich, at 9 p.m.
Postponed in part because of an ABC movie on the same subject, Fox finally airs the stylish "Ali: An American Hero," with David Ramsey sounding like the former heavyweight champion, if not exactly looking like him. It's at 7 p.m. on WFLD-Ch. 32.
A struggling actor (Harland Williams) wakes up to an inexplicably hot career in the comedy fantasy "Becoming Dick" on E! at 8 p.m.

"More Details, please!"
Libba Bray gives us a strong, determined heroine in this gothic fantasy/mystery. Gemma seldom shrinks from bullies, a challenge, or her own desires, and this is refreshing, especially so in a young woman in an 1895 setting. Quite a nice departure from most angst-ridden teens. Not all of Gemma's friends are likeable, but she does the best with what she has.
What I found lacking was a sense of place and flow. Characters drive this novel, but the settings deserved more detail, and action often takes leaps that leave gaps in the imagination, making it hard to follow, especially towards the end. Younger readers may appreciate the fast flow but it can be frustrating to an adult.
Josephine Bailey as narrator sparkles. If only all readers were so talented! Her voices are singular and easy to recognize, despite Felicity's voice slipping into a Gilligan's Island Mrs. Howell in the beginning. Overall she's a joy to listen to.
Ms. Bray's portrayal of Victorian society and its expectations on girls is both honest and rebellious and strikes a modern chord that in too many instances still plays today. This novel does much to underline this without detracting from the story whatsoever, showing the personal implications for each girl rather than preaching.
Four stars for being an easy listen, good historical depiction, strong characters, and appropriate for the intended audience.

Shakira's Promise
With Her Pies Descalzos and Barefoot Foundations, the Grammy-Winning Singer Is Educating 6,000 Children Living in Poverty-and Transforming Their Futures
Shakira was 8 when her parents taught her what life was like for the most vulnerable people in her native Colombia. Visiting an impoverished area, "I saw kids living on the street, running around barefoot and sniffing glue," says the singer. "I made a promise to myself that I would become successful and do everything in my power to help those kids."
She has turned that vow into a second calling. Launched 17 years ago, her Pies Descalzos Foundation (and its U.S. counterpart, Barefoot Foundation) will open its seventh school and community center in Colombia next fall. The foundations provide education and nutrition to about 6,000 kids, plus jobs and resources for 30,000 others. "Last year some of our students had among the highest placements on standardized tests in the country-and we are talking about kids who are the children of families displaced by violence and conflict," says Shakira, 35, who also supports projects in Haiti and South Africa. "There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a child who could have been recruited into drug trafficking or guerrilla warfare not only graduating from high school but excelling throughout and now preparing for university."
That includes David Rueda, 17, who graduates this month. Going to college, he says, is "something that my parents or brothers and sisters couldn't [do]." Shakira hopes to pass on her commitment when she and soccer star Gerard Pique, 25, welcome a baby next year. "I want my child to grow up in a fair and just world," she says, "knowing he too can be an agent of change."

Product description
In his most extraordinary book, "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" (The New York Times) recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders. Oliver Sacks's "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks's splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine's ultimate responsibility: "the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject."

Review quote
"New York Magazine" Dr. Sacks's most absorbing book.... His tales are so compelling that many of them serve as eerie metaphors not only for the condition of modern medicine but of modern man.

Highly Recommended for those who are ready for the transition.
I never write reviews or provide feedback but this book is amazing. I like how he is very transparent about his entrepreneur journey. This book totally inspired me and also demonstrated to me everything that I've been feeling is real and that it is ok. This was the perfect book for the perfect time for me. I wished he would of wrote this book years ago. I've recommended it to several folks who are going through a similar transition. So for their feedback is great.

Casino Royale
I am a huge Sean Connery fan, but Daniel Craig comes very close, and oh my he is a hottie! He did an awesome job! I love love love the movie, has anybody else seen it?
We saw it today.
It was beautiful to watch, lovely places, not so lovely people doing some pretty horendous violence to other people. When we got home we got the giggles at the throught of someone walking into a branch bank (any of the branch banks we've ever used) and getting many, many dollars (and a suitcase) without hassle after hassle after hassle from the teller. Much less doing it in a small amount of time. (I'm trying really hard not to give too much away.)
Sadly, of all of the previews of coming attractions, none looked good. And the one about Marshall U football hit me like a ton of bricks because I knew someone who died in the plane crash that they showed in the preview- lousy way to start an afternoon out.
Ticket prices even for matinees have certainly gone up.
DH is a huge Bond fan and really want's to go watch it - if we can get a sitter I think we might actually make it to go watch this movie instead of waiting for it to come out on DVD. After what you guys have written I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie.
Daniel Craig has a nice face (esp. his brilliant blue eyes), but there is no doubt that the the man has a FIERCE body! Remarkable when you consider his age (38). Good actor too but I'll probably wait for the dvd. BTW, he has an incredible shower scene in the first Tomb Raider movie.

After requesting a wakeup the office never fulfilled the request. We had already payed for a $397.00 fishing trip. The hotel expressed regrets but never offered us compensation
Loved the location. The location was close to area restaurants and grocery stores. One of the front desk ladies was EXTREMELY nice. She told my wife and I about area places and dining places we could go to. Was very helpful. exceeded our expectations.
One of the cleaning ladies was very rude. It was our first time being there and our 3rd year anniversary. We took tons of photos and she was snarkly about it. 'May I ask why you're taking photos!??' Like, very rude. Who cares lady! Clean!
cleaniliness...though the carpet is old
breakfast was too limited and we skipped it
great location.
the tv changer did not work, alarm clock seemed to get suck at 12:25 pm, carpets in rooms very sticky and don't think that they have been cleaned in awhile!
Convenience to highway, friendly staff and nice room.
Me and the girlfriend wanted a weekend getaway on a budget, and we saw the Holiday Music Motel was very well reviewed. After taxes, it was just over $50 for a one night stay. When we checked in, we got upgraded from a Queen to a King bed. The room was great! Spotless! They have a handbook of all the local restaurants in the room with updated menus! There was no iron in the room, but a quick trip to the lobby, and I was able to get my hands on one. The breakfast was tasty, with lots of muffins, donuts, danishes, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, fresh fruit, etc. I enjoyed the above-average selection of various teas. I can't wait to stay there again!
The breakfast area was small and there weren't any chairs available, so we ate on the couch in the lobby. The heater was also acting up and wouldn't go lower, and was stuck on 78 degrees. We spoke to the front desk who managed to turn it off, and we opened a window, and turned the fan on, and it cooled off by the time we got back from dinner.
Super clean, Super cute.
Breakfast area a bit cramped?
Supurb, it was one of the best hotels I've stayed in my tavels!
The internet power needed more of a boost. A little weak. Overall nothing need change.
Great breakfast good value great staff
Nothing it was excellent for the value
Staff is friendly and helpful.
Room had minor cosmetic issues like carpet issues.

« Pizza Hut Driver Demoted After Defending Himself From Teenage Attackers | Main | Her Room Says No To Custys Returning Dirty Panties »
I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Short of catching it yourself, it doesn't get any fresher.
Posted by: HeavyP | Friday, January 04, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Now that's some damn fresh fish right there! Ideal for sushi, if it's a sushi type fish.
Posted by: Spritzy | Friday, January 04, 2013 at 12:26 PM
I was waiting for something to crawl out of the opening, a rat or something. Is that really just "leftover nervous energy" making it move?
Posted by: heavy melvanova | Friday, January 04, 2013 at 02:55 PM
Yeah, Heavy, it is. I've been going trout fishing since - well, before I was even born. (Mom fished and hiked while pregnant with me.) And I've had trout that have been dead for an hour or more when I go to clean them that still move and flop around even after I've removed the guts and gills.
Posted by: Jami | Friday, January 04, 2013 at 03:03 PM
I know there is some residual movement after an animal is really dead, but I have an issue with undue cruelty. I really feel bad for the fish that are put on ice, or cut-up while still alive; they may be fish, but they still feel pain - we don't have to be so cruel. They can at least be knocked unconscious at least. Ever see the fish filleted for 'Sashimi' that is put back to keep swimming with the others? I cry at that. I'm a hard core meat eater, but I still have a heart.

That had to be one of the creepiest things I have ever seen.

"You've been around a lot of corpses. Is that normal?"
"What, the feet thing?"
"Yeah, the feet thing."
"Yeah, it happens."
"Well, I'm having a hard time concentrating. Can you do something about it?"
"Like what? Kill him again?"

Apple Patents Power Adapter That Recovers Lost Passwords 210
from the charging-for-security dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Apples magsafe power supply uses as patented magnetic connector.
As far as i know there is no 3rd party power block available for mac laptops due to this connector.
They have already "killed" this accessory market.
Boot while holding down Apple-S
mount -uw /
shutdown -h now
Bam. Administrator access and all the password resetting glory you need thereafter.
I don't even have a Mac and I know how to do it. How fucking easy does it need to be?
Can you get Magsafe power adapters from anyone else anyways? I've never seen any, and a quick Googling says no.
Our friends from China say "yes, you can" [dealextreme.com]. I burned two original magsafe PA, then bought this one by U$ 30 (w/ shipping) two years ago. Still working.
"I don't even have a Mac and I know how to do it."
Which explains why you don't know that FileVault or a firmware password (both recommended by Apple for secure machines) blocks this.
This is not a patent, this is an application publication. You can tell because it says "pub no" in the upper right corner instead of "patent no". For reference:
Link to publication from TFA [pat2pdf.org]
Link to a real patent [freepatentsonline.com] (believe it or not)
TFA author can't tell the difference, which is incredibly obvious once you know what you're looking for. And a lot of applications never become a patent.
Now that the application has published, anyone who knows of any prior art might be able to let the patent office know about it if this application isn't examined before the new law kicks in September 16 this year. See the America Invents Act [gpo.gov], section 8 (starts bottom of page 32).

We are working on our lawn and designing the landscape. I am posting this to the tractor forum as I have been using my yard tractor and trailer to move the rocks. These are large (100 200 pounds) rocks tend to be move a round the yard.
What I have been doing is back the tiltbed tailer back to the rock, working it into the tailer, pulling the bed down, and taking the rock to the next locatiion.
Is there a better way for tha average gardener to move rocks.
While I am currently using my JD and trailer to move the rocks, I was looking for a mechanical system to lift the rocks and then transport them.
I had thought about some off center system that when it was rotated down to the position of either pulling or hitching to the tractor that would lift the rock to be easily moved.
I was trying to see what others have done.
The trailer recommended fro the trailer is rated several hundred pounds above the size of the rocks I would be moving.
I did something similar several years ago at a summer home I built up on Lake Ontario, in N.Y. I simply got webbed tow strap and wrapped the strap around the rock a time or two then fastened it with the hook. Drug the rock to where I wanted it. They sometimes slipped off, but was pretty fast and I wasn't concerned with the "plowing" the rock provided as I hadn't finish graded and seeded yet.
Good luck,
Ive used a rock boat for years. It is a sheet of steel roughly 21/2 feeet wide X 3 feet long, curved up at the front with a piece of chain welded as the hitch. Thinh shape of a car hood, sort of. No lifting involved, just lever the rocks aboard, shim with soil of piece of wood and haul.
I"ve moved a lot of rocks just exactly like Knuttle, I tilt the trailer up and hook a chain around the rock and hook the end to the high part of the up lifted trailer then sit on the front edge of the box while pulling on the chain by the time the trailer box latches down the rock just needs a slight push in, and "Bob's your uncle"
But I like the rock boat idea too.
