Klaus Erfort's GästeHaus in Saarbrücken wows with modern classic cuisine for the purist.
Since gaining his third Michelin star at the end of 2007, Klaus Erfort has experienced a remarkable rise. In this last year, he has caused a sensation in Germany, with his dishes lauded to the skies on all fronts. His vegetable patch with Breton lobster, olive croquant and poached quail's egg features truly outstanding vegetables and creates a gorgeous interplay between sweetness and acidity, accented by a little horseradish, the taste accelerated by the creaminess of the quail's egg. The langoustine cooked on sea salt is also genuinely outstanding – a truly majestic dish epitomising Erfort's purist style, which allows the langoustine to shine in all its glory.
Equally wonderful is the venison with porcini mushrooms (creamed and en nature), pain d'épices crust and jus of beetroot and purple curry, in which Erfort simply lets the sensational game speak for itself. Fabulous as well is the patisserie, which creates exquisite contemporary desserts such as iced elderberries with marinated strawberries. It is these and other little moments that make a visit to the GästeHaus a never-forgotten experience.

Burned out lite bulb Judy T. • Renton, WA • August 28, 2014 Appliance: Model INSIDE DOOR My Repair & Advice Changed it to a new bulb, specifically for Whirlpool appliances. Was this review helpful to you?
Ice maker stopped working John M. • Charlotte, NC • March 21, 2014 My Repair & Advice I assumed (correctly) that the ice flipping mechanism was okay, and the problem was in the timer module - which had a manufacturer's part number on it. The entire ice maker cost about twice what the price of the timer assembly so I figured I'd take a chance. I ordered the part which came quickly, replaced it (easy - three screws) and the unit is now working properly. The only 'problem' I had was that the water level adjustment control was not identified nor was there an adjustment guide included for making adjustments. This situation was cleared up with a call to your customer service people who looked up and told me what the adjustment procedure was. I was very impressed by the technical understanding of the customer service people and, what appeared to be, a sincere interest in helping me solve my problem. Was this review helpful to you?

The American Speed Company's Speed33 - Nailed It
Written by Brian Brennan on November 1, 2011 Jim Eckford's Speed33 neatly ties traditional performance and contemporary design into one all-out rideSome of us remember cars from the "little pages" tucked way back in our minds; others recall V-8s that rattled windows, while others remember the experience of retina-detaching performance. Then there are many of us who remember what was, and wonder what could be.
Jim Eckford of Arroyo Grande, California, grew up in the Detroit area and experienced his first job at Ford Motor Company working in the chassis engineering department. "The '60s were a great time to work at Ford. It was the era of the Mustang, Cobra, Torino, GT40, and much more," Jim, who truly felt like "a kid in a candy store," says. He also remembers hot rodding around in his '34 Ford Tudor that soon became the platform for its first engine swap, taking out the Flathead and replacing it with a Buick Nailhead. Thus began a lifelong allegiance to the Nailhead that was reinforced by the likes of "TV Tommy" Ivo and Tony Nancy with their Nailheads.
Fast forward to Jim's introduction of the American Speed Company's Speed33, as it represents the classic lines of the '33-34 Ford roadsters but fitted with modern appointments, such as roll-up side glass and a retractable soft top, a great starting point to fulfill his requirements of answering the call for nostalgia while implementing today's technology.
From here Jim enlisted the efforts of The Roadster Shop (TRS) from Mundelein, Illinois. Their experience with previous builds of the ASC Speed33 (remember the '08 STREET RODDER Road Tour car?) and the Buick Nailhead sitting in their showroom made the decision an easy one. This wasn't to be another street rod but a car with loads of race car influence, hence this build would be minus fenders (yes, a hot rod!) and would have a custom chassis to achieve all the required goals but with plenty of one-off ideas.
There was no doubt the vintage Buick V-8 would be used but what would the chassis be anchored on? Jim had always favored the one-year-only '37 Ford tube axle intended for the diminutive Flathead the V-8/60 (60 standing for the horsepower output) that was used on the passenger car of the day. The body came from ASC and remained substantively intact from the windshield post back. TRS fabricated a new firewall (fitted with Stewart-Warner gauges, old school!) and all the forward sheetmetal, which includes the custom hood and race car–influenced nose as well as the custom decklid with large see-through vents and center-mounted gas cap. More TRS metalwork came in the form of rocker panels and belly pan fabricated in aluminum by the shop's very own Sam Waltermire.
Upon close examination of the droptop (remember it's a convertible) the race car theme becomes apparent, especially within the engine compartment. Look for a radiator; nope, look for a water pump; nope, what about a fan, belts, or alternator (hidden underneath the engine and run via a jackshaft)? These items are nowhere to be seen. Many of the cooling and electrical accessories normally associated with a street-driven hot rod are absent, the absence one might expect from a true race car. But there's a cooling system and required electrics for any roadworthy hot rod—you just have to look. It was the cooling system that created the greatest obstacle to overcome but the "mountain" was successfully scaled. A substantial radiator with a Meziere electric water pump was placed in what would be the trunk with two fans pulling air through the radiator during slow speeds and for higher speeds and warmer days a fan was placed underneath the car, forcing air up and through the radiator.
The Nailhead began life as a '66 Buick 425-inch V-8 but after a bit of massaging it now supports 432 ci. Engine Tech Machine was responsible for the machine work and short-block assembly but the final touches were handled by TRS. Alan Johnson Racing Engines got the nod to port and flow the heads, which were then outfitted with adjustable roller rockers by Tom Telesco. Weiand finned aluminum valve covers and timing chain cover further accent the brilliant red V-8, which also features a chromed oil galley (valley) pan. Also in service is a Joe Hunt Magnetos modern distributor hidden within the vintage-looking mag case. The Hilborn stack injection is electronic, utilizing a Big Stuff 3 EFI controller tuned by LRS Performance. Running sans mufflers the custom 2-1/2-inch exhaust was fabricated by TRS. The TREMEC TKO-600 (five-speed) with a custom shifter by TRS uses a Bendsent Transmission Adapters plate to link both the trans and engine together then linked to the rearend via a custom driveshaft built by TRS.
At the corners you will see Real Rodders Wheels (Halibrand style) measuring 5.5x15 in front and 10x16 in back. Rubber is a combo of Michelin in front and Hurst cheater slicks in back.
Supporting this race car–inspired hot rod is a custom chassis welded together by TRS plumbed in stainless steel line with a 3.78 gear Winters V-8 quick-change outfitted with 31-spline axles, and Ford brakes with Buick finned drums. Supporting the rearend are 36-inch custom ladder bars, Panhard bar, and QA1 coilover shocks that are cantilevered and hidden behind the framerails.
The front suspension is based on the earlier mentioned '37 Ford tube axle, '40 Ford spindles, transverse Ford spring, Pete & Jakes 50/50 shocks hidden from view (cantilevered like the rear), custom TRS Panhard bar and SO-CAL Speed Shop disc brakes based on Wilwood calipers/rotors (master cylinder, proportioning valve) riding within Buick finned-style drums. The Schroeder race car steering is attached to a custom column twisted by a Johnson's Hot Rod Shop four-spoke wheel.
The interior features a '40 Federal truck instrument cluster restored by Classic Instruments with custom dash sheetmetal formed by Dean Ellis of TRS. More custom TRS handiwork can be seen in the bomber bench seat (with NOS Ford seatbelts from a '50s T-bird) as well as the custom interior and flooring. The interior is Spartan when it comes to upholstery but what stitchwork that's present was neatly handled by Tom Sewell.
The all-steel American Speed Company Speed33 is coated in PPG black with cream scallops trimmed in red by Joe Belfiore of TRS but before this could happen two more of the TRS crew, Louis Dilisioand and Waltermire, applied their bodywork skills. The no-chrome appearance is accented with matte gray running gear and interior metal surfaces. Exterior appointments include the TRS custom mirrors, rear roll pan (which houses the LED taillights), and Ford commercial headlights on custom fabricated brackets.
When Jim was asked what he would do different he answered, "I would further develop the race car look by hiding the headlights within the sides of the nose to achieve a more aerodynamic race car nose." We think he pretty much nailed the race car look and as for the overall appearance we like it just the way it is.

Nifty! I can't wait to see it. Maybe I have a chance of being able to help out now. If I have the time
Phoronix: AMD Documentation Drop Next Week
While we were hopeful that AMD would release the next set of GPU documentation in time for Christmas, we've just been informed that the pending M76 / RS690 specifications will be released by the end of next week. As we mentioned with the RadeonHD 1.1 driver release, this drop will also contain sample code so that DRM work can be underway for the ATI R500 and R600 series.
Nifty! I can't wait to see it. Maybe I have a chance of being able to help out now. If I have the time
let's hope they did not rush it too much.
so what exactly is coming this time. 2d only docs?
There will be three or four different docs this time, depending on how much we get finished. The two easy ones are register specs for M76 and RS690, similar in content to the M56 and RV630 docs already available on x.org/docs. M76 is our internal name for the mobile version of RV630, ie "Radeon Mobility 2600" - the main difference from the RV630 doc already available is that some important blocks (mostly I2C and LVTMA, the second digital output block) are covered in the mobile docs but not in the desktop docs.
I discovered that the desktop docs were missing some important info just before the first document release back in September and replaced the 5xx doc with M56 (M56 is mobile 530 IIRC) but couldn't lay hands on M76 documentation in time so went ahead with the 630 doc instead. Clear as mud ? Anyways, first doc just fills in some gaps on the RV630/M76 registers.
The second doc is for the RS690. This is the integrated chipset whose graphics core often got described as a "Radeon X1200", "X1250" or "X1270". If you look on the amd.com site now we just talk about two chips -- the 690 and 690M (mobile) -- with a couple of variants of each, since they all have the same core albeit at different clock speeds and with some options (HDMI/DVI, sideport memory) not available on the less expensive variants.
OK ? That's the second doc.
The third doc is actually a source release with header files and some embedded documentation. It's a simplified version of the "tcore" driver we use for testing new chips before the silicon is available. The main thing that tcore brings is examples on how to set up the command processors, ring buffers for the engines, including IDCT as well as the 3d engine. It doesn't include shader programming info but it does include things like cache setup and flushing. There is also a basic display driver in the sample code but the current radeonhd driver is already quite a bit more advanced.
The radeonhd devs already have the above info under NDA, btw.
The fourth piece of documentation (which may not be ready in time) is info about 2d acceleration on 6xx. As I have mentioned earlier, the 6xx doesn't include dedicated 2d acceleration hardware but the command processor (cp) emulates most of the 2d commands using precompiled shaders on the 3d engine. The fourth info package will describe how this works and which commands are emulated, along with sample code for setting up the canned shaders and a precompiled shader blob. I expect that we will replace the shader blob with source code when we start pushing out more 3d info.
There was a question on IRC about whether "we would wait until 2d docs were out for all chips before releasing 3d info". Quick answer is no -- a better way to describe it would be that our top priority now is enabling 3d development but we are continuing to push 2d docs out while we are working on 3d.
Wow thanks for the update Bridgman
2008 will be a good Year for Amd and linux thats for sure
Thanks bridgman, having an AMD employee here on Phronix besides RadeonHD and the effort AMD puts now into fglrx development turned the scales for me.
Although I already ordered a HD3870, there is still one open question about Power Play and maybe you can give me a clue. On techPowerUp I read the following about power management of the RV670:
However other reviews tell things still work driver dependent, so if changing power states is still a driver job, does it work with fglrx and will those specifications also become availiable for the RadeonHD team or are these processes completely transparent to the software now?AMD uses a new form of power management on their RV6xx ASICs called DPM. The GPU independently senses the GPU load and will pick from a set of predefined clocks according to load. Also clock gating is used which turns off unused parts of the silicon and quickly turns them on when they are needed. Unlike the 2D/3D switching on previous ATI cards where the driver manually switched clocks as soon as a 3D fullscreen application is started this process is completely transparent to the software and the driver. This also means that windowed 3D applications will run at the intended performance.
Thanks in advance
The 5xx family and the RS600/RS690 have the same 2d engine as the R300/400 family, so the 2d acceleration code in the "radeon" driver should work with only minor changes. I believe that 2d acceleration is already running on 5xx parts in the current "radeon" driver, so porting that over to radeonhd shouldn't be a lot of work.
My understanding is that there is still some driver involvement, but the new HW capabilities on 6xx parts allow faster and more fine-grained power-down than the driver can do on its own so overall power savings can be improved. We will be making this information available to open source developers. In parallel, support is being added (or has been added) to fglrx although I'm not sure of the exact status.

Slip sliding away: One bad pitch dooms CC
After giving up leadoff homer, ace yields three-run shot to ex-teammate
NEW YORK -- The glove went up over CC Sabathia's mouth, and whatever words he spat into that softened leather, they were clearly not fit for public consumption. There was a good reason for that anger: One bad inning had just unraveled all of the hurler's good work on Friday night.
It was a throwback game of sorts for Sabathia, even before he watched former teammate Grady Sizemore pounce on a hanging slider and send it deep into the night. Like he occasionally did as teammates a half-decade ago, Sabathia lost his cool and then lost the game, too.
Sabathia surrendered a game-tying solo home run to Jonny Gomes and a game-changing three-run shot to Sizemore in a four-run sixth inning as the Yankees were defeated by the Red Sox, 4-2, at Yankee Stadium.
"It was just frustration," Sabathia said. "Anytime you see me yelling, it's frustration on my part. I was just mad, and that's something that as I've gotten older, I've been able to control my emotions. I let them get the best of me tonight."
The first five innings went swimmingly for Sabathia, who struck out nine and walked two, but for the second straight start, he was unable to avoid a big sixth inning. This time, the costly frame featured a rare infield hit for David Ortiz, which rattled the lefty's concentration.
Sabathia didn't flinch when Gomes turned on an 89-mph fastball for a homer leading off the inning, but Ortiz's check-swing dribbler to the left side of the infield prompted Sabathia to go on tilt. He ran the count to 3-0 on Mike Napoli, who then singled.
"It's just something where usually I'm able to stay even-keeled and not let that frustrate me," Sabathia said. "Next thing I know, it's 3-0 on Napoli before I even calmed down."
That brought up Sizemore, Sabathia's old teammate from their days with the Indians, and the Yanks wanted Sizemore to roll into an inning-ending double play. It didn't happen, as Sizemore dug for the slider and pounded it for his second homer of the year.
"I look at it as one pitch; the slider he left up to Sizemore was the real difference in the game," manager Joe Girardi said. "Besides that, I thought he had really good command and threw the ball well."
With the defeat, Sabathia fell to 8-8 with a 5.03 ERA in 21 starts against the Red Sox since joining the Yankees. Sabathia said that his stuff feels "light years" ahead of where he was last season, but he still has work to do.
"I think he's getting closer," catcher Francisco Cervelli said. "He's got a heavy fastball. Everybody see 90, 90, 90 [mph] all the time, but his fastball is so good, it's so heavy. And when he's able to throw inside on the hitter's hands, he's going to have a good night."
The Yankees managed two runs in 6 2/3 innings against Jon Lester, who improved to 12-5 in 27 career starts against New York. Alfonso Soriano hit his second homer of the year, a solo shot in the second inning, before Lester settled into a groove.
"I felt all right. I had some grinds in there throughout the game," said Lester, who walked two and struck out six in a 113-pitch outing. "That's the Yankees. They're going to grind away at you and make you throw a bunch of pitches."
New York finally threatened again in the seventh, as Ichiro Suzuki laced a two-out single and Brian Roberts walked. Kelly Johnson connected for an RBI single, marking his first hit in 15 career at-bats against Lester, and a Yankee Stadium crowd that had been distracting itself with the Wave suddenly returned to the game.
"It did feel like that something might have turned," Johnson said. "We turned over the lineup, the go-ahead run at the plate, and it looked good."
The Yanks' hopes were squashed, however, as Junichi Tazawa came in and retired Derek Jeter on a flyout to strand two men. With closer Koji Uehara unavailable to right shoulder soreness, Edward Mujica pitched a perfect ninth to record his first save of the year.
"They deserve some credit there," Johnson said. "They did pitch really well. Lester pitched great; he's tough, one of the toughest in the game."
Cesar Cabral, Adam Warren and Dellin Betances wrapped up the pitching for New York. Despite the loss hanging next to Sabathia's name, the Yankees preferred to focus on the positives that their ace showed on Friday.
Sabathia may need a refresher course in keeping his emotions in check, but the Yanks will sign up for those first five innings of one-hit ball every fifth day. They just need to see him piece together a complete outing.
"He's throwing the ball more consistently than he did last year," Girardi said. "He just can't get caught up in some of the things that happen in the game. A check-swing really started that inning. You've got to get beyond that and make your own breaks."

President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.

Having a Lenovo T60p, I experience the same problem. I found some websites stating that the Mobility FireGL V5250 is based on an X1700 while the most recent release notes contain only >= X2300 chips.
Can anybody from AMD confirm this?
I cannot believe that AMD drops support for a machine that is less than 2.5 years old and not even written off(!). Even worse: It is not as if I could easily replace the graphics card in the laptop.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common glioma—a type of brain cancer. This cancer starts in the glial cells, which are cells that help nerve cells work.
This condition can develop suddenly. It can also develop from a lower grade, less cancerous brain tumor. Most cases are located in the cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The cancer can also begin in the spinal cord or brain stem.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
GBM originates from astrocytes, which are a type of glial cell. The factors that cause normal-functioning astrocytes to become cancerous is not well understood.
Factors that increase your chances of developing GBM include:
Symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images and scans may be taken of your brain. This can be done with:
Your brain activity may be measured. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Surgery is often done to confirm diagnosis and relieve headache, but doctors cannot completely remove the cancer. Other types of treatment may include:
Even with aggressive treatment, few patients survive more than five years after diagnosis. However, there is evidence that medical and surgical intervention can increase life expectancy and improve quality of life.
A multi-disciplinary approach is important for you and your family. This approach may involve:
As the causes of GBM are unknown, there are no preventive measures.

Tonight We Dine in Hell, Tomorrow We Brunch in Lincoln Park
I'm not afraid to fight if I must, but I don't like violence and I hate war. I particularly detest the glorification of war, even at a remove of several thousand years.
So what the hell drew me to see 300?
There were many reasons.
The first: I was graciously invited by a fellow from the gym who had recommended it highly.
The second and third:
I'm not going to lie to you. If this had been a World War II picture and the soldiers were all running around France covered up in fatigues, I don't think I'd have been interested.
The official title is 300; but me, I'll always think of it as 600+. Yeah, there was occasional female nipplage, too, but I quickly figured out that if I squinted those parts just looked like a Tressamé commerical.
Before the lights dimmed, I found myself conflicted about which side to back. The intended heroes are the Spartans, of course. But my Middle Eastern ancestry gave me a certain sympathy for the Persians. I decided to withhold my allegiance until I got a look at both kings.
Leading the Spartans, you have 300's central character, Leonidas. He bears a startling resemblance to the soi-disant Mask of Agamemmnon excavated by Schliemann at Mycenae:
Leonidas is tough but tender, with great nobility of character. He also has an ass upon which one could serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, and a midnight snack. (I regret that I have not a picture of the ass to show you.)
All admirable qualities, and I was prepared to root for Leonidas and His Merry Men. Then, after a bunch of fuss and botheration and decapitation, Xerxes showed up, carried in by slaves on his own traveling Ziegfeld staircase:
dressed in a get-up that was clearly an homage to supergay disco legend Sylvester:
The word "fabulous" simply shrivels and dies when confronted with such as this.
How on earth is a man to choose?
There was a too-brief moment in which it looked as though the two forces might merge
and render the question moot. But just when the wokka-chikka music should have started, somebody threw a spear or something and then Leonidas bellowed again and we were back to serial decapitations in slow-mo.
Even though I knew *SPOILER ALERT!* the Spartans were going to wind up as shish kabob, ultimately I finally found myself howling for Big Daddy Leonidas. Xerxes was a little too much the posing Pretty Boy for my taste, though I'd consider doing him in exchange for his earrings.
To my great surprise, I enjoyed 300 from start to finish. Granted, it lacks certain things. Character development, for one. And it would have been nice to see the Spartans actually making out with one another between battles. However, as my companion for the evening suggested, we have but to wait patiently for the pornographic director's cut on DVD.
As they say in Sparta, "Arrrrooooooooooooooooooo."

I want to see this film even more now... Thanks for the review! ;)
- Amy said...
What would be the title of the porno they will inevitably make? 300 what?
Can't wait to take a gander at that Leonidas! - 12:24 PM
- Beth said...
So, being of Persian descent, did you think it was offensive to Iran, or was it another case of taking history out of context again?
And my verification word was "hyank." Things that make you go 'hummmmm.' - 12:57 PM
- jesi said...
nice to know i'm not the only accessory slut around!
- Anna-Liza said...
This was the best review I've seen yet! I wasn't going to see it, but now maybe I'll change my mind.
- Szarka said...
Now the History Channel says that those 300 Spartans were an elite fighting force particularly fierce because it was made up of 150 pairs of devoted lovers - was that in the film? I'm dying to know (though I won't see it because of the 'serial decapitations in slo-mo'). I bet not.
- rebecca said...
But it is about a thousand times more fun to say "Xerxes."
"Think I'll pop a Xerxes and hit the hay."
"Xerxes, that's a big zit!"
"Is that the new Hyundai Xerxes?"
See what I mean? - 2:08 PM
- lyssa said...
that was the most awesome move review ever!
- Mel said...
The History Channel says what?! Are they conflating the 300 Spartan troops with the Sacred Band of Thebes? Given the dubious quality of some of their programming, I wouldn't be surprised.
Hot man tits aside, it looked like way too much Matrix-y slo-mo for my taste. I would recommend, though, that you seek out a copy of "A Choice of Destinies", which I just read en route home from NC. I think it would mesh nicely with your movie experience. - 2:27 PM
- Sarah said...
I wouldn't be holding my breath for the director's cut. The director was quoted in Entertainment Weekly as saying "What's more scary to a 20-year-old boy than a giant god-king who wants to have his way with you?" So I'm thinking there's not a whole lot of porno-esque footage for use (unless it involves Queen Gorgo!)
- Emy said...
I can't believe that you didn't mention the abs even one time. I'm sure they were mostly painted on (don't you love that there are air-brush tan artists?), but we can dream, can't we?
Oh yes. Yes, we can. - 3:15 PM
- Heather said...
Franklin, I know I've said this before, but I do appreciate you! I've set you as my homepage, because if I read you first thing, I start the day laughing, and that's very good.
As for the bungling of Persian history, yes. This film will fill the educational void in the minds of undereducated Americans (who make up the majority) as "what really happened". That frightens me. When film takes the place of actually teaching World History to grade school kids, we have a problem.
I was going to not see 300 because I don't want to support the dumbing down of America with my money.... but I might watch it at someone elses expense sometime.... just to see Xerxes in action.... hot damn! - 3:23 PM
- Veronik said...
Thank you for bringing back fond memories: my husband had a small part in it and I quite enjoyed that period... he had to train at the gym, get a fake tan and the whole getup. Unfortunately, he didn't get to keep the 'costume'.
- Jen said...
Two words: War Rhino.
The movie and men were lovely, but it was like watching a drama about the US Revolutionary War where King George is 8 feet tall and speaks with an echo effect. And all the British troops are orcs. - 3:46 PM
- Cal said...
"There was a too-brief moment in which it looked as though the two forces might merge"
Thanks. And my computer thanks you from the depths of its coffee-soaked keyboard, too! - 4:09 PM
- Sarah said...
My main complaint with this movie was that Dominic West was the greasy-coiffed bad guy, instead a charming (droolworthy) rogue like his character on The Wire. That made me sad. :(
- MonicaPDX said...
Haven't seen it yet, but hope to. And even though I know they no doubt louse up the history a lot--grief, historicals are so rare any more, you hate to miss 'em. You've gotta take what you can get, neh? Besides, I get kinda tired of people always blathering about movies being more than sheer entertainment. Is it a documentary? No? Then let me just have fun, 'kay? (Although I'd love to agitate for more realism on some details, like actually showing relationships between erastes and eromenos if they're concentrating on the ancient Greeks. Not that they'd pay attention. Plus the moralists would freak.)
Plus, of course, there's the very small *kof* consideration of all the skin on display. Including Butler's fine ass. Mmmmmm...quarter-bouncing. ;)
Great review. But might want to hide it from Dolores. She could take it as justification for strong-arming you into that duo act. With tongue. Or worse yet, chest waxing. ::shudder:: - 4:48 PM
- Helen said...
I remember a gay friend of mine saying that 'Band of Brothers' should have received a special award for The Best Use of Photogenic Young Men. It sounds like The 300 might be a rival to that masterpiece.
- Eden said...
Love your blog, never left a comment here before.... as is my way as a lurker extraordinaire.
That said, and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking it: Caligula. - 5:02 PM

Thank you Thank you Thank you for "getting" this film. I totally enjoyed it as well.
And a special note to emy:
Those abs weren't painted on. Those boys were sent to boot camp before filming and they earned every six pack. - 5:45 PM
- Ted said...
Yea, movie: right, good.
Let's get to the important stuff. Who's the guy from the gym? Were you on a date? - 5:52 PM
- Eunice said...
if you liked the movie, you should check out the book by frank miller and lynn varley. there's something very compelling and iconic about frank miller's artwork.
simple colors, stark contrast, laconic dialogue, and incredibly detailed musculature are all frank miller hallmarks. tad better suited to a graphic novel than a movie, but he did a good job in sin city as well. - 6:43 PM
- nancyneverswept said...
I, for one, am just delighted to find you in SO much better a mood! You seem genuinely happy; I hope as a result of being entertained so well by the movie and your friend from the gym. Welcome back!
- Lacelibrarian said...
A O Scott of thr New York Times said:
... you can find many of the same themes, conveyed with more nuance and irony, in a Pokémon cartoon. And he suggested thatone should, "Go tell the Spartans, whoever they are, to stay home and watch wrestling."
I am glad you went though. Your review is more entertaining than the movie anytime.
Lynda - 9:39 PM
- Jeanne said...
The network should replace Ebert & Roper with you, Franklin. Your reviews are much more interesting and really give a good "feel" for the story! :-D
- KellyD said...
I love the review~ And we seem to want to go for the same reasons! I'm glad you went. and again in agreement, I'm not interested in female nipplage either lol. When I saw the ads for this film I was all in a tither. Yum!! And in those days they used to oil themselves all over. Kinda like oiling up for Naked Twister!
(my word verification: zimhwz! see? a war cry!) - 12:40 AM
- lauragayle said...
You should write more movie reviews. I laughed and laughed. I can't wait to share this with selected friends.
- Mary K. in Rockport said...
Got a repro of that mask hanging on the wall right where it shows over the top of the laptop. Weird to see it in double.
- Lee Ann said...
I'd root for Leonidas, too, simply because his name is also the name of a Belgian company that makes some of the best chocolate EVER. Try a Leonidas truffle sometime. Even better, try it using your...uh...serving suggestion above.
- mc78 said...
I couldn't get the boy to watch Troy because he knew I was going for beefcake. I saw it anyway and it didn't disappoint. Sigh.
- Kate said...
That has got to be the best movie review I have ever read.
- Kai Jones said...
If you search YouTube you can find a video of the training workout they were doing to prepare for the movie.
- Sharon Rose said...
Saw 300 yesterday. Visually yes, it was fun. Once you you get past the wrinkled and assymetrical latex on the chest & ab prosthetics in a few OOPS moments, it's terrific to see a film revel in male muscle rather than too-skinny girls.
Even so, this movie was a huge dissapointment for me. The story of this battle is so much more than an action flick. I highly recommend the book "Gates of Fire" by Stephen Pressfield, which tells the compelling history of the Spartan life and that event. George Clooney & Michael Mann have been trying to get the movie made for ages. Now it probably won't happen. Instead of a classic saga we are left with a ridiculous piece of eye candy. :((((( - 9:05 PM
- Emilee said...
As a Gerard Butler fan, I can't wait to see this. I have photos of him in swim trunks and in a kilt (I like men in kilts). Google it, it's worth it.
- Anonymous said...
I think I just wet myself while I was laughing!
- Knitress said...
Thank you for making me laugh on a tough day. And also for convincing me that I need to go see this movie this weekend to recover from a tough week.
- Carson said...
Franklin, I know this is going to sound like the most frightful name dropping - and I s'pose it is, it's just that I'm so proud- but my best bud from college (all the way over here in Oz) did the frocks for 300. Did I mention I'm so proud of him? ;)

LMOA! Thanks for the great review.

Ha, I saw 300 at the Imax at Navy Pier, too! It was really lacking in depth, but I enjoyed it all the same. 1/2 the time I kept thinking as I watched the Spartans in their panties, um, I mean, manly man under/overgarments, "boy, those Spartans sure do shave close!"
Spartan dudes hooking up with each other? Weren't you watching the movie, that was for the Athenians!
That Persian king dude freaked me out. - 11:56 AM

Some readers may recall Millard as the author of "The River of Doubt" which was a One Book One Lincoln finalist a few years ago. That focused on an episode in the life of Theodore Roosevelt. She excels at writing history as story.
Millard opens this story with a prologue that introduces us right away to Charlies Guiteau. Guiteau survived a collision between two steamships in 1880. His own survival when others died led him to believe that he was saved for an important purpose, and when that belief combined with his mental illness, it twisted itself into his intention to kill President Garfield.
Chapter One picks up at the United States' Centennial Exhibition in 1876, where James Garfield, a congressman, strolls the grounds with his family. Millard uses this event to introduce two key angles that will be highlighted when Garfield is shot--the work of Inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, and pioneering work regarding antiseptic procedures in surgery.
Millard spends enough time with Garfield's remarkable rise from poverty to presidency to set the context of the time, and to tell the parallel story of Guiteau's descent. The events following the shooting take up a good deal of the book, yet she doesn't lose the narrative's momentum.
I appreciated how much I learned in the course of this book. This takes several forms. The sense of the United States shortly after the Civil War, the personalities engaged in politics, the dirtiness of the politics, and the lack of cleanliness as it impacted Garfield, are staying with me.
This may not be the book for serious students of American history, but for readers who have a general interest in the time and who are unfamiliar with James Garfield, Millard unrolls a fine story. I'll recommend it both to those with that interest in American history, and also to fiction readers who are willing to try nonfiction "when it reads like a story."
You can read an additional review of this book in the library staff review section of our website, with thanks to Alyse at Bennett Martin Public Library.

Slayer did a show at the Trocadero in SF CA in the mid to late 90's. I wish I could be more specific about the year. To have a Slayer show at such a small venue was really pushing the envelope. Whoever was responsible for putting on that show is lucky the club wasn't damaged permanently! I remember thinking that the stacks were way to big for such a small stage. And I was right! It was decibel warfare when SLAYER started their set! You could almost see the waves of the bass drum! And ...

While changeover is happening for the Slayer set, I started talking with some dudes named Mike and Pete seated next to me.

by rayalukI was lucky enough to get to go and see the boys play in Camden last night. The show was awesome! Typically tight sounding thrashing Slayer show. Getting to see "Old School Slayer Night" was perfect for me as 85-90 was when my musical taste was developed and I know the lyrics of every album front to back from that time period. Absolutely all my favorites! The pit was a little active throughout the show but I can tell that the Slayer audience is getting a little older as I ...

First thing I wanted to do was get high and mosh, held my own for awhile until some fat kid started skanking and punched me in the mouth.

The last night's top three headliners (in order of time playing) were Slayer, Billy Talent and then Rob Zombie. Well everyone thought that Slayer was going to close out the festival but to everyone's dismay it looked as if Slayer would technically be opening for Rob Zombie... and Billy Talent.

by KawalChujaI first heard Slayer in 1998. I was 11 at the time. My older brother just bought the Diabolus In Musica tape. I'll probably make a pussy out of myself but at first I was so fucking afraid of this whiteheaded motherfucker on the cover that I didn't want to get anywhere near this tape. But finally curiosity won. I've put the tape in, pressed play and I waited. It was on side A and the first track was Bitter Peace. At first it was normal. Some guitars, some drums. Just music. ...
by zaskar75SLAYER WERE IN TOWN MUST HAVE BEEN EARLY 90S ONLY PASSING THROUGH TO DO A SOUND CHECK , ME AND A LOAD OF OTHER KIDS FROM LIVERPOOL. DENIM OVER BIKER JACKETS ETC STOOD IN THE RAIN FOR HOURS MAN. LISTENING TO THE LADS PULL THE SOUND SYSTEM APART . AFTER ABOUT FIVE HOURS THE CAME OUT AND THROUGH A FEW SIGNATURES AND DONE A LEGGER , IVE STILL GOT MY SEASONS IN THE ABYSS PICTURE DISC SIGNED BY JEFF AND KERRY 20 YEARS LATER . RIP BIG MAN SOUTH OF HEAVEN
Their most uderrated album. This album has so much energy and intensity I can't understand why it isn't a fan favorite. Maybe the production could have been a little better but it still rages. Definitely one of my favorites.
Don't really know what to say. it was a descent album had a few killer songs but some I just didn't really get into it stand outs for me is "213" "Killing Fields" "Dittohead" and "Sex. Murder. Art."
Great album!! The beginning of a new era. More agressive, more complex and deeper than before. Tom began to scream like a maniac on this album, what brought a new level of aggression to the slayer music! The opener riffs of the title track are awesome! PAul did a briliant job on this one! Great songs by King, like Killing Fields, sex, murder art and Ditto head! One of my favorites!
This album has the greatest cover art for a metal record, also the inner famous bloody arm image is incredible! After a record like Seasons, Divine Interention could not satisfy fans, but still this album has great importance for me, coz this was the first Slayer album I've ever listened with an advice of a friend. Since then, Hail Slayer!
Another under-rated album. I wish people would stop expecting another Reign in Blood from Slayer. It aint gonna happen. And shouldn't either. I think Slayer have been great over the years at pushing they're own boundaries without going too far from they're sound and identity. This album is a good example of that, as is Diabolus. Fresh.exciting and new. as it was then and I hope World Painted Blood will be more of the same.
This album is a bit different from the past other record but really good with really crazy songs like Dittohead, Killing Fields, Sex Murder Art, Serenity in Murder & Mind Control.
It was the first time i' ve seen Slayer live & it was in Lyon ( France ) on november 17 th 1994.
Fuckin' great show with Paul on the drums and incredible light show with the two large projectors like in the Live Intrusion vhs.

I wrote a lovely long review raving about this wig, but unfortunately, it got eaten. So instead, let me just say that this is my first wig experience and I can't believe how it is changing my life. I am lucky enough to have very good hair on my own, but it is high maintenence. I decided to get a wig because we are going on a cruise and I don't want to have to deal with limp hair. I looked at Paula Young wigs because they have the large size that I need. I just took a look at the picture and ordered the color I hoped would work. To my amazement, the wig and color are wonderful. The wig is so natural that my daughter asked me if I was going to 'really wear a wig?" (Kids! :P) when I was wearing it!! :) I have since ordered it in two other colors and am buying extras 'just in case' this is ever discontinued. (By the way, I let some of my hair and bangs show which works great for me. You'll see that in the pic)

Trial & errors for the perfect 'do'
By Granny R
from Green Bay, WI
My hair is stick straight & thinning at the top & bangs. No one suspects I wear a wig cause my hair appears to grow & I get it cut. I start out with Ryan, go shorter to Rosemary, then shorter to Daisy, reverse the order & my hair appears to grow & I get it cut. I tried Bravo, did not work, bangs way to short, but was gorgeous from the back. Going on a cruise & wanted pizzazz, I ordered Color Me Exquisite. I love it! A little more hair, but I squash it down on the top & upper sides & it's perfect! Truely a take from the box, shake & wear. A lot of trial & error went into finding what works for me, pay close attention to lengths.

Great wig! I now have 6 wigs. Addicted to getting the perfect style and this is it. I LOVE 4 of the wigs I have and use them all the time. I ordered them all in the same color so it just looks like I changed my haristyle.

When I wear my "hair" I feel special!!!!
By Bre
from Chandler AZ
I have this wig in many colors, and love each one. I can't tell you how many compliments I have had, Love them! Tip for those who need the large, I wear these over my hair, I have similar cut and color, you don't have to worry about haircoming out in back, and it has a more layered look. I think the large is cooler in our climate, I use bobby pins to secure it, wore it though a storm and thought sure it would come off it did not! I feel more secure with bobby pins and I am ready for anything. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
By 501 cancer survivor
from Texas
The style is natural and very flattering. I was wondering if I bought a larger size would it have covered my hair line more in the back...in any case I love it so much I hesitate to return it! The style and beauty met my expectations!

Use the function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, Mission Control, and Launchpad.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. So when you're not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time.

Best keyboard I have used.
I can type on this keyboard faster and with fewer mistakes than any other I have used. I used to think the keyboard in my old Pow I can type on this keyboard faster and with fewer mistakes than any other I have used. I used to think the keyboard in my old Powerbook G4 was the best I had used, until this was released. The response is great and keys are springy and always register a click. I like this keyboard so much that I bought one for work, with my own money, rather than use the cheap office one.
The battery life is great and a huge improvement over the first wireless keyboard. I think I change the batteries after four months and that is will daily use and I use it a lot, but can't remember it's so infrequent.
It's great at a desk and now I use it on the couch on my lap, with the Mac Mini connected to my TV. Same size keys as a regular keyboard, but small enough to tuck into the end of the coffee-table when not in use. Love that it goes into a stand-by/sleep mode and I never need to turn it off. Just stop using it and then tuck it away. No delay or waiting for it to re-connect when I come back to use it hours or a day later. If only there was a model with a touchpad (hint, hint). …- Written by Warren B from Toronto

The wireless keyboard (as well as the wired keyboard) have virtually the same layout, save the function button, smaller control and alt keys, and small arrow-pad. This means that as I move from laptop-keyboard to wireless-keyboard, I do not have to adjust my typing habits to compensate for altered ergonomics.
The tactile response of the keys is noticeable yet not wearisome.
Bluetooth distance has never been a problem for me even paired with an tower outfitted with an external USB bluetooth dongle.

Good keyboard that could have been great.
I really like the new wireless keyboard, which with it's switch to two batteries instead of three has gotten rid of a great nuisan I really like the new wireless keyboard, which with it's switch to two batteries instead of three has gotten rid of a great nuisance. However it is starting to show its age, with a ejection button taking up space but rarely being used in today's day and age. The keys feel good but that is subjective and others may not a free with my assessment.
Could Apple improve the keyboard? Well getting rid of ejection button would be a great start. However that wouldn't be my biggest gripes with this otherwise good keyboard.
No by two biggest issues with this keyboard are the fact it still isn't backlit and doesn't offer a way of switching between devices. If you are like me and use the keyboard from your bed while trying to watch a movie or browsing the interwebs, in less than well lit conditions, this keyboard can be hard to use or even nearly impossible as you can not see what you are doing. Even behind my table trying to do some work requires me to have at least enough light so I can actually see what I'm typing. Alas I have not been gifted with the ability to touch type.
My second gripe with this keyboard, is that with today's plethora of devices it would be nice if I could use my one keyboard for multiple devices. There are keyboards that already allow you to do this, one being the Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch Keyboard for Mac and iPad, the other being the Kanex MultiSync Keyboard. However after having tried both I can say that both lack the feel that the Apple Wireless Keyboard has. The materials are to be honest less than spectecular and feel flimsy compared to the Apple keyboards.
A bluetooth switch would allow people like me who have a company computer and a home computer to share one keyboard for both. Or better yet use it for both the Mac and iPad. …- Written by Rohan D from Haarlem

Like other cancers, lung cancer is staged from I-IV. Stage I is a very localized cancer, while stage IV indicates a spread to other parts of the body.
The goal of treatment is to eliminate the cancer and/or control the symptoms.
Surgery involves removing the tumor and nearby tissue. Lymph nodes may also need to be removed. The type of surgery depends on the location of the tumor, such as:
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This may also be used to relieve symptoms, such as shortness of breath. External radiation is usually used to treat lung cancer. With this treatment, radiation is directed at the tumor from a source outside of the body.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, and via a catheter. Chemotherapy is often used to kill lung cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body.
Researchers continue to study ways to treat lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute considers these potential therapies:
Other treatments that are being researched include:
To help reduce your chance of getting lung cancer:
The American Lung Association and American Cancer Society both suggest that screening for lung cancer with a type of CT scan may be considered if you are a smoker (or former smoker), aged 55-74 years, and have a history of heavy smoking (such as one pack a day for 30 years).

Initial thoughts
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I tried this bad boy out today outside the gym, and then later at the library. The convenience of the thing is fantastic, I love having it right there in the bottle cage. (I still need to put a second cage on so that my water is still available while riding, but once I do it'll be perfect) . The lock threaded easily through both wheels, the frame, and the post, and the bottle stayed in the cage for easy put-away. The lock twists right up back into the bottle, and is ready to lock up at the next place. I'm not sure how secure the lock is, since its security rating isn't up on this site. I'd say it's perfect for going to the gym, grocery store, etc, but I wouldn't feel safe leaving my bike for more than a day or two with just this lock. Also, the hidden compartment doesn't seem like it can hold much, and is very easy to accidentally open. All in all, I think this bottle lock will come in handy and I'm excited to put it to more use.

Convenience that can't be beat
The perfect commuter piece, light weight at less than a pound and fits in any standard cage. No more need to carry around big heavy locks!
