A legendary member of the American Civil Rights movement inspired an audience with advice and anecdotes from a remarkable life after receiving an honorary degree from Ohio Wesleyan University.
John Lewis, the longtime "conscience of the Congress" from Georgia, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree, OWU's highest recognition, at Gray Chapel on March 31.
"I accept this degree on behalf of those who never gave up," Lewis said. At 74, he is the last surviving member of the "Big Six" leaders of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.
His stirring talk began with childhood memories of growing up in Troy, Alabama. As a youngster, Lewis wanted to be a minister, and preached to his siblings and the chickens he raised.
"I am convinced some of chickens listened to me better than my colleagues in Congress do today," he observed.
The words and actions of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks inspired Lewis as a teen. At 17, he wrote a letter to Martin Luther King, who, upon meeting him, referred to Lewis as "the boy from Troy."
Appalled at the racial segregation and inequalities of the early 1960s, Lewis said, "I found a way to get in the way. To get in good trouble, necessary trouble."
That way was non-violent resistance, which resulted in Lewis being called names, spat upon, being burned with cigarettes, arrested, and being beaten. At one point, Lewis wondered why President Lyndon Johnson was sending troops to Vietnam and not to Selma, Alabama.
Yet by not striking back and keeping their eyes on the prize, the racist Jim Crow laws were overturned by the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965).
"Call me anything you want, throw me in jail. I will overcome," Lewis said. "I don't think there's any room in American society for discrimination."
Lewis said that one of the men who beat him up visited him at his office more than 50 years after the incident, apologized and asked for forgiveness.
"We cried, we hugged, we called each other brothers," he said. "That's the power of non-violence. People say things haven't changed. Come and walk in my shoes, and I will show you change."
Despite the changes, Lewis said "there's still work to be done" before America truly becomes what he calls a "multiracial, multicultural democratic society."
He advised those seeking change to stand up, speak out, be optimistic, keep the faith, never be bitter and to use an expression from Dr. King, just love everybody.
"Hate is too heavy a burden to bear," Lewis said. "The way of love is a better way. Our struggle is the struggle of a lifetime. We have to give it all we have. If you see something that's not right, try to do something about it."
Among those things was to vote for change.
"People gave their blood for the right to vote. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have. If you don't vote, we don't count."
Lewis also objected to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2013 decision to strike down part of the Voting Rights Act.
"Voting should be as simple as picking up a glass of water," Lewis said as he took a sip.

BOISE -- It's rivalry week on the hardwood, as the Boise State Broncos (4-0) and University of Idaho Vandals (3-3) are set to meet at CenturyLink Arena on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
The Broncos have been have gotten out to a hot start, beating opponents by an average of 31 points. On Saturday, the Broncos beat the University of New Orleans 100-80, while the Vandals lost to Columbia University, 65-60. Because of the Broncos' dominance, a win over Idaho might be expected by fans.
However, Boise State Head Coach Leon Rice said on Monday that rivalry games are different, and nothing should be taken for granted.
It really is the cliches about throw out the records, throw out the stats, I mean they're just battles, and our guys have to understand how important of a game this is, and we have in the past, and so I definitely know we approach it the right way, said Rice.
Back in September, Boise State and University of Idaho agreed to a two-year contract with CenturyLink Arena, so this means that both teams will meet on the same floor again on November 26, 2014.
Last year, the Broncos beat the Vandals, 78-68. Boise State leads the series with an overall record vs. Idaho of 52-35.
Game TV Broadcast on Roots Sports Northwest:
Cable One: 27
Cox Cable: 42 & 1042 (HD)
DirecTv: 687
Dish: 426 & 5426 (HD)
On the radio, the game can be heard on 670 am KBOI.
Tickets are being sold through CenturyLink.
Ticket Prices:
P1- $40 - Sold Out
P2- $30 - Sold Out
Students - $10
According to CenturyLink, for seating purposes, the arena will be split in half to accommodate each of the school's alumni, boosters and students.

Jim Ross is an American professional wrestling ...
On his debut "Ross Report" podcast and future guests: "Austin will be back for Ross Report #2 next week followed by Mauro Ranallo, Trish Stratus, and Mick Foley. I've got some great guests coming on to shoot the breeze. Thanks for listening."
On why Ron Simmons was more successful as part of a tag-team in WWE: "Hmmm...he did well in both roles especially being pivotal launching Rock from the Nation. The APA thing with JBL was good too and garnered a great deal of TV time. They were two different presentations that were both executed well."
On if Sting never working for WWE will prevent him from going into the WWE Hall Of Fame: "Absolutely not. I would bet a case of JR's BBQ Sauce that Sting is in the WWE HOF within 2-3 years."
On if he feels Damien Sandow is being underutilized in WWE: "I'd agree that Sandow could be more of a force. That's partly WWE's fault and partly the talents. To be great it takes a partnership between company and talent."

Hello, My name is Bob & I have been living in my native hometown of San Diego for 49 years. I have been many places in the world and San Diego has simply stayed in my comfort zone because of it's sunny weather, eclectic lifestyle as well as the beautiful coastline. I am an Ice Skating Instructor, interior designer, Real Estate Agent & dog lover. I am very much a people person and the vacation rental industry has given me such pleasure, affording the opportunity to meet such awesome guests from all over the world that we have welcomed to our homes here in San Diego. I can only say; 'I hope that I have the pleasure of meeting you someday & if so, look forward to the many return visits that most of our guests take pleasure in!
Bob Pellaton purchased this house in 2001
Originally this home was bought to remodel and sell, because of the business I am in. The location is just so convenient and freeway accessable that it became obvious that living here would be quite comfortable. So after the first 2 years the (then) 2100 sq.ft., 2 bedroom, 2 bath was remodeled. Within the next year the downstairs spa retreat was added and finally within 5 years, the second floor, family room & pool were complete. A lot of thinking was enabled, because we remodeled and added in stages. We have had the home for 14 years now and truly love the tropical, resort style feel this home exudes.
When you enter the home, you will feel a sense of calmness & relaxation. The sound of the cascading waterfall will sooth your senses. Although the home is 3300 sq.ft., there are so many intimate spaces and + over 1000 sq. ft. lanai and outdoor living space that it doesn't feel overwhelming. The best part about the home is that you find yourself wanting to simply settle at the home and won't feel the need to leave in order to believe that you are on vacation!
This place was amazing. Stop researching because this home is exactly what you are looking for!
We shared the house between two families for 8 nights. Our plan was to tour the San Diego attactions, but I think we would have been just as happy vacationing on the patio and pool 24/7.
As far as luxuries, this house gives you everything you see in the photographs and more. It provided the perfect escape.
The home was in a quiet neighbourhood but close to freeways to give you quick access to shopping, beaches and restaurants.
The owners were fantastic. They were well organized and quick to ensure the the home delivered the 5 star service.
Our only problem is that the vacation was too short. Thanks for everything Bob!
The house is gorgeous. We loved every minute of our stay. Thanks Bob
What a wonderful home! From the moment my friends and I arrived we felt as if we were in paradise and did not want to leave. We arrived in San Diego from the East Coast and were in town for a race, but the house may have been the highlight of the trip. The owner (Bob) was very accommodating and the house was clean and organized upon arrival. The photos can't even begin to do the house justice. The views and furnishings are resort caliber. If I have one critique it is that we felt as if we were in a resort, but there was nobody to buy mixed drinks from by the pool. ;) Which, by the way, is infinity edge and the hot tub seats 20. The first morning I took my coffee in the hot tub to watch the sun rise. Truly amazing.
Love it, Love it, Love it!!! There is not enough words to express how we felt about your home. Thank you Bob for the warm greeting as we LANDED in San Diego with a phone call to welcome us.. You were even more generous when we meet you..We enjoyed every section of your home from the pool to the roof top decks (watching the stars) it was plenty of room to enjoy to the fullest. We took advantage of the pool side fire pit as we relaxed in the heated pool and the Jacuzzi. In the early mornings we ate breakfast outside pool side as we watched the clear blue skies. After the full day of events we came back in to enjoy cooking in the LARGE kitchen with every supply you can think of and a beautiful view while cooking. Every room in the house has a beautiful view. This ladies retreat was so relaxing for us and enjoyable. I will and have Highly recommended this place to a few coworkers already. My last words are....WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.... Thank you for sharing your home.
We just got home from our week stay at this wonderful home. We loved everything about it. It had the luxury feel that I wanted for my husband and I, but a fantastic pool and amenities to keep the kids happy all week too. We made use of the extremely well equipped kitchen every day, enjoyed several meals outside overlooking the pool and amazing views. I can't think of one single complaint. If your weather isn't hot invest in the pool heater because you are going to want to use that pool every day! Bob couldn't not be more helpful and kind. He was great to work with. As we pulled away my son said "He is so nice!";) I'd come back here any time we could! We were close to everything we did. The location is great too.
All the reviews are as true as they can be. Stop researching for rental properties, this house was absolutely perfect. From the privacy to its location this house will not disappoint. The owner Bob was very gracious and met us to go over everything that we needed to know about the property. I strongly recommend this home. Thank You Bob, I'm already considering the same place next year.
Private home located in quaint neighborhood of Talmadge just 12 minutes from Downtown Gaslamp District, Beaches, Zoo, Sea World, Historic Balboa Park, Shopping.

Now when I turn on the computer it starts the Vaio repair utility, opens a blank blue screen and nothing happens for hours.
I am not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. What else can I try to do?
Thank you

Not rounded edges
By Crafter

I wanted to re-pad a dining chair and bought the first foam seat block from Dunelm but it was not big enough so ordered this one which was larger, when I picked it up it had square edges not rounded as in picture but used it any way and cut it myself.

Good firm foam block for kitchen type chair cushions. I was surprised at the quality and firmness of the foam.****** Product is different shape and different size to that shown on web page (at time of ordering) but was still big enough for my purposes.

Stringing Machine Recommendations. ~$2000 budget.
I am finally ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a stringing machine. It is long overdue. I have been reading a lot reviews/opinions and there appears to be a lot of choices out there which is making my decision extremely difficult. I would like to stay around $2000.
Initially I was interested in the Prince NEOS 1500 with the Wise 2086 ($1800) but after reading about some customer service issues with the Wise, I am having second thoughts.
Now I am leaning more towards one of the Gamma 5800 ELS's ($2099-$2299). Not sure which one. Considering the 6-point SC mount.
What are your opinions on the NEOS 1500/Wise vs. the Gamma 5800 and is there anything else I should be considering at this price point. Also which 5800 would be the best option.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Good luck with this. My impression (I am NOT an expert) is that you are in a middle ground. I've had a Wise 2086 for 10 years and it's been reliable. I've had minimal need for customer service but remember them being helpful. I have not heard of any problems with the Neos.
To my mind, that combination represents great proven value.
Another consideration is that you have a built in backup tension head (should power be unavailable or the Wise have to be shipped back for repair).
The Neos/Wise combination strikes me as the easier sell on the used market as well. (even many years later)
The Gamma seems very well thought out. I have a friend who has been using a Gamma for the past 10 years without any issues with the tensioning head.
that's my $.02 !
Buy the Gamma, you can buy a used Neos/Ektelon anytime where you live for a back-up.
Don't buy a Wise.
I'd go with the Eagnas plus 8000
great machine, Ive personally strung a few racquets on it during the summer when i worked at the local pro shop. Easy functions, constant Pull electronic. and very well priced at $1295
For two grand you can buy this Gamma 5800 on that big List site and still send me $1000 in appreciation. http://huntsville.craigslist.org/spo/2576928440.html
No? $500?
A thank you card?
Yeah, gammas are good. Definetely get the 6 point, I've had a few issues with the 2 point.
Consider a Stringway ML100 or MS200. Lower cost than others mentioned in the thread and it produces superior results.
Thanks for the link! If it works out I will definitely send you a thank-you card. I emailed them. Waiting for a response.
Does anyone know how the mounting system and clamps compare between the Neos 1500 and the Gamma 5800? Does one have any advantage over the other?
here's another if you like
good luck
The mounting system on the Neos 1500 is easy, its a 4 point mounting system that's simple to mount a racquet on. All you do is adjust the spacing between the mounting towers, then adjust the white contact pad height and lastly rotate the knob bolts on the outside of the towers. Also the wise 2086 does make a nice addition to the 1500.
Gamma stringer
I have the Gamma 6400 and the 5800 I realy like both of these stringers. What I did not like was the mounting system on the 5800 over the 6400. I removed the six point on the 6400 and installed it on the 5800. I have no idea why Gamma put that six point on a stringer that cost twice as much as the 6400, and is twice as crapy. The problem was the set up. .The 6400 can be set up in a vert short amount of time, but the 5800 because of the many different knobs took much longer, and I don't believe the raquet was held any better. I do like the electronic machine better than the mechanical lock out because I think you get a better string job over all.
I have been a stringer for about five years.
In the same boat as OP, other then the bay or CL where could i find some used stringers
I noticed the 5800 has a SC (Self Centering) version, in the 6-point, for $100 more. Perhaps they improved the setup a bit? Not sure which one you have.
Thanks for the link. Pennsylvania is a bit far for me. Is it common for sellers on CL to ship such a large/heavy item? Does anyone have any experience with this? I would be a little concerned for this type of item unless they had all of the original packing material.
Agreed, I have had a few bad stringings on top of the line machines also. That being said I think I would still prefer to have an electronic stringer for ease of use and setup. Since I have never owned an electronic stringer though my assumption may be incorrect.
How easy is it to setup the tension on the Stringway's compared to electronic. Also is there much of a speed advantage on either system?
Do you know if the SC (Self Centering) version of the 6-point is worth the $100? On paper it looks good. Does anyone have any experience with it?
As for your preference for an electronic, sure - more power to ya. When I was in the market and reading these boards religiously searching for the machine that would suite my needs, I narrowed it down to two machines and simply pulled the trigger. You can read and search and re-read and do more searching and come away as indecisive as when you first started. Everyone has an opinion about this machine or that, cp vs lo, sc vs non-sc, etc. Do enough research, ask a few questions (which you're already doing), then make the decision. With the amount of money you want to spend I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice.
I opted for the Alpha Apex 2 with the intent to get a Wise, but decided I didn't need it. I focused on my technique, practicing, reading, watching videos (several times on occasion) until I was able to produce very consistent string jobs. With the volume of work I do (about 6 racquets per month excluding my own) the crank is plenty for me.
Be careful, however. Once you get into it, in the period of a year/year-and-a-half you could spend more than $2k in string lol. I have more string than I'll ever be able to use, but it's fun. I enjoy trying new string and having a large inventory so others can try a variety of string as well. It can get pretty addicting. ;-)
Anyway, good luck with your search!

PRLog - Nov. 23, 2011 - Following a surge in restaurant bookings Chartridge Conference Company has appointed two new sous chefs at Hitchin Priory. Bringing fresh ideas and a range of new dishes, Andrew McCusker and Jerry Cox will play a major role in taking the standard of cuisine to an even higher level.
The team at Hitchin Priory
McCusker joins the Hitchin priory team after several years as a sous chef in the Metropolitan Police headquarters at New Scotland Yard while Cox earned his culinary spurs at Redcoats Farmhouse Hotel.
The 12th century Carmelite monastery was originally developed as a conference and meetings venue, but the restaurant quickly established a reputation for the quality of its cuisine. With a strong emphasis on modern British cuisine using local produce, Hitchin Priory restaurant soon attracted a loyal local clientele and became a popular venue for evening dining.
Head chef Stephen Hepworth commented, "Hitchin Priory is steeped in history, so we want our menus to complement the atmosphere and make dining a memorable experience. We've always set high standards and use best quality local ingredients, whether we're catering for conference delegates or local diners. With Andrew and Jerry on board we have already introduced new ideas like bringing a touch of 'The Ritz' to Hitchin. Shoppers and visitors can pop into Hitchin Priory and relax over our new luxury afternoon teas which includes a range of home baked cakes and gateaux made fresh in our own kitchens each day by Andy and Jerry."

They demand the arrest of those involved in the murder
An 18-year-old Dalit youth, M. Karikalan of Vandiyur Theerthakadu, was allegedly murdered by an armed gang of nine members on Tuesday night.
The victim was waylaid on his way to home at Sourashtrapuram and attacked. He suffered multiple sickle injuries and stabs and was taken to the Government Rajaji Hospital where he died, said A. Muthamizh Pandian, rural district treasurer, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and coordinator of Vandiyur Theerthakadu Land Retrieval Struggle Committee.
Father of the deceased, Malaichamy (50), who is a lorry driver, said that there was already an attempt on his son's life during a temple festival at Yagappa Nagar two months ago.
The VCK cadres, who had gathered at the GRH mortuary on Wednesday, refused to accept the body and staged a road roko on the busy Panagal Road, demanding the arrest of the those involved in the murder. Later, they marched to the Collector's office and submitted a petition. The body was taken by his relatives for last rites later in the day.
Vandiyur Theerthakadu has been a disputed site and there has been strained relationship between the Dalits and caste Hindus of the area and its neighbourhood. This murder is also suspected to be an outcome of the land dispute. In 2003, a Dalit youth Kannan was murdered by a gang due to enmity based on the same issue, said A. R. Ayyankaalai, state joint secretary, Labour Liberation Front, VCK.
It has been more than three decades since the land originally meant for Adi Dravidars of Vandiyur Theerthakadu was encroached upon by caste Hindus. The Madras High Court has twice ordered the eviction of encroachments and relocation of Dalits in the identified lands.
The 349 Dalit families, who were living on the Vaigai riverbed, were allotted 9. 73 acres of land (Old Survey No 260/2A, 260/2B New Survey No.112/2A, 2B) by the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Welfare Department on March, 3, 1979. The families were given pattas on December 12, 1995.
However, the land was encroached by caste Hindus and even after a series of protests, dharnas and petitions by VCK and other Dalit organisations, the encroachments were not removed.
The encroachers, meanwhile, formed a residents' welfare association (RWA) and thwarted all attempts made by the Dalits to make the administration remove their encroachments. Members of VCK filed a writ petition in the High Court, which, on October, 30, 2008, ordered the removal of encroachments within six months.
On October 22, 2010, the High Court ordered the district administration to relocate the encroachers in the 3.87 hectares of land identified by them at Sakkimangalam and if they refused to move evict them in accordance with law. The Principal Secretary and Special Commissioner, Land Administration, were also issued copies of the order.
Thol. Thirumavalavan, VCK president and MP, had already written a letter to the Collector citing the details of the court proceedings and requested him to take necessary action.
The then District Collector C. Kamaraj had said that 348 non-Dalits, who were occupying the area, were enumerated and they would be relocated at Rajakkoor. As per the direction of the High Court, encroachments would be removed within the stipulated time, he had assured.
Already, on May 6, 2012, during the Chithirai festival, the encroachers with a gang entered the Dalit hamlet and damaged the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi name board and tried to attack Muthu Pandian and others. Cases had been already registered against 136 encroachers under Section 3(1) (4) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 but no action had been taken against them, said A. C. Pavarasu, VCK headquarters secretary.
Superintendent of Police V. Balakrsihnan said that four members — Poo Pandi, Selva Kumar, Arun Pandi and Sissu Bala — had surrendered. One of the accused Karthik was arrested by the police.
When asked whether land dispute could be the reason behind the murder, he said that investigation was under way and the deceased and the gang used to play cricket together, so land dispute should not be the reason.

Lymphocyte proliferation normally occurs early in an immune response. Lymphocyte transportation assays test the integrity of the early proliferative response using either nonspecific mitogens or specific antigens to induce blastogenesis. Antigen induced lymphocyte proliferation also correlates with previous exposure and acquisition of cellular immunity.
Lymphocyte transformation tests evaluate lymphocyte competence using in vitro tests to assess the ability of the lymphocytes to proliferate and to recognize and respond to antigens. Two types of lymphocyte transformation tests, mitogens assay and antigen assay are discussed in this policy.
The mitogen assay, performed using nonspecific plant lectins, evaluates the mitotic response of T and B lymphocytes to a foreign antigen. In the mitogen assay, a purified culture of lymphocytes from the patient's blood is incubated with a nonspecific mitogen for 72 hours. The culture is then pulse-labeled with tritiated thymidine and can be measured by a liquid scintillation spectrophotometer in counts per minute, which parallels the rate of mitosis. Lymphocyte responsiveness or the extent of mitosis is then reported as a stimulation index, determined by dividing the counts per minute of the stimulated culture by the counts per minute of a control culture.
The antigen assay uses specific antigens, such as purified protein derivative (PPD), Candida, mumps, tetanus toxoid and streptokinase, to stimulate lymphocyte transformation. After incubation of 4 ½ to 7 days, transformation is measured by the same method used in the mitogen assay.
In the mitogen and antigen assays, a low stimulation index or unresponsiveness indicates a suppressed or defective immune system.
Each benefit plan, summary plan description or contract defines which services are covered, which services are excluded, and which services are subject to dollar caps or other limitations, conditions or exclusions. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
Medically Necessary
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) may consider the lymphocyte transformation test (i.e., Lymphocyte Mitogen Response test or the PHE Stimulation test) medically necessary for the following:
In addition, it is expected that the results of this test will be used in the management of the patient.
Not Medically Necessary
BCBSMT considers the lymphocyte transformation test for indications other than those listed above not medically necessary.
The lymphocyte transformation test is considered not medically necessary as a screening test.
Lymphocyte transformation tests are used for many reasons. Some uses are considered not medically necessary, such as its use as a screening test and to monitor cancer, occupational exposure to dust and other antigens, and other environmental antigens and mitogens. This policy addresses the situations where the use of this test would be considered appropriate.
2007 Update
A search of the literature was completed through MedLine database for the period of January 2000 through March 2007. No additional published studies were identified that would prompt reconsideration of the policy statement, which remains unchanged. The use of the lymphocyte transformation has not been proven to improve outcomes when used as a screening tool.
2009 Update
A search of peer-reviewed literature through August 2009 identified no new clinical trial publications or any additional information that would change the coverage position of this medical policy.
2012 Update
A search of peer reviewed literature through February 2012 identified no new clinical trial publications or any additional information that would change the coverage position of this medical policy.
Disclaimer for coding information on Medical Policies
Procedure and diagnosis codes on Medical Policy documents are included only as a general reference tool for each policy. They may not be all-inclusive.
The presence or absence of procedure, service, supply, device or diagnosis codes in a Medical Policy document has no relevance for determination of benefit coverage for members or reimbursement for providers. Only the written coverage position in a medical policy should be used for such determinations.
Benefit coverage determinations based on written Medical Policy coverage positions must include review of the member's benefit contract or Summary Plan Description (SPD) for defined coverage vs. non-coverage, benefit exclusions, and benefit limitations such as dollar or duration caps.

Just what is it that draws Mario back to that certain woman time and time again? A certain je ne sais quoi, a special something—as the R&B vet puts it on his latest single, she's "...got that KILLA." Originally released to the 'net back in September but presented here in its final, mixed/mastered version, this freshly-released single and potential album inclusion finds beatsmith Glass John pairing delicate piano chords with a slow-chugging percussion rhythm and ringing keys as the 3rd Street/RCA crooner spays tribute to a woman whose love has become his addiction. Is KILLA a worthy addition to Mario's repertoire of low-key burners? As always,the final verdict is yours to make. Either way, keep it locked for details on Maino's fifth studio album, Restoration, which is scheduled to hit stores sometime in 2013.

by Machiavelli, Niccolo
Publisher:Routledge & Kegan
These are Machiavelli's essays on the lessons to be learned from Titus Livy's first ten books about Roman history. Though other works existed, Machiavelli chose Livy's histories because Livy was an eye witness to the fall of the Roman Republic. Machiavelli's purpose for writing The Discourses can be summed up in one line: "The multitude is wiser and more constant than a prince." More to-the-point, however is the later phraise: "A corrupt and disorderly multitude can be spoken to by some worthy person and can easily be brought around to the right way, but a bad prince cannot be spoken to by anyone, and the only remedy for his case is COLD STEEL." With every stroke of his pen, Machiavelli sets out to prove the superiority of a republican form of government. He values freedom of the citizenry above all else, and provides princes everywhere with grizzly tales of what happens when it is restricted. His influence on the Founding Fathers, and particularly on the works of Paine and Jefferson, is evident. Our current leaders would find themselves more secure if they stuck to Machiavelli's principles.

Oh what a film adaptation! In the reverent hands of Clint Eastwood, Broadway's smash hit "Jersey Boys" -- still going strong 10 seasons now -- is a meticulous recreation of The Four Seasons' sound, story and era.
What made the Tony-winning musical such a crowd-pleaser is captured cinematically as best the medium can. Of course, we don't get that pop that live theater delivers -- the goosebumps when they sing "Sherry" for the first time or the triumphant comeback for Frankie Valli with "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," or the electricity of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame finale "Who Loves You." But it's pretty darn close.
With Tony-winning book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice on board, the wit and humor come through, using the fourth wall and "Rashomon" device that connected with the live audiences.
Brickman, who co-wrote Woody Allen's "Annie Hall," "Manhattan" and others, and Elice, faithfully tell the lads from Belleville, New Jersey's compelling rise and fall in the music business.
John Lloyd Young superbly reprises his career-defining role as lead singer Frankie Valli, whose angelic falsetto was the group's meal ticket. Valli's turbulent family life is played out as well, underscoring the band's stumbling blocks.
In his Broadway debut, Young won the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards in 2006 -- a record feat still unmatched. He shows why he is the definitive Frankie Valli, anchoring the film.
With the exception of Christopher Walken, who is terrific as mob boss Gyp DeCarlo, Eastwood eschewed using movie stars in favor of mostly the show's stage actors, and the casting is spot-on.
Vincent Piazza ("Boardwalk Empire") is a strong Tommy DeVito, the swaggering troublemaker who must get credit as the mover and shaker in the early days.
Erich Bergen, hand-picked by executive producer Bob Gaudio to play him, excels as the astonishing songwriter with youthful bravado, whose enduring partnership with Valli is pretty amazing. They both are executive producers of the movie.
Michael Lomenda lends an earthy gravitas to Nick Massi, fellow delinquent responsible for their vocal sound, who earns respect with his final monologue, as well as a couple heartfelt tirades.
What Works
The true story is fascinating -- a classic American rags-to-riches tale that anyone can identify with, yet those of a certain age will respond to the astute details of their early music career.
It was a time when bands climbed the charts through radio play and by appearances on "American Bandstand" and "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Eastwood knew exactly what to focus on, capturing the era perfectly. The look is terrific, with the cinematography lovingly accentuated the period.
He concentrates on the soaring harmonies and catchy pop hooks that made the quartet a '60s sensation as much as their code of honor.
The movie emotionally resonates, providing a jolt of heart along with its genuine soul.
Make sure to stay for the dynamic "curtain call," as is the custom for musicals these days. Former Broadway hoofer Christopher Walken even steps out at age 71.
The movie serves as both a wistful Wayback Machine and introducing their distinctive music to a new generation.
What Doesn't Work
To some, the Italian-American honor code may be cliche, reminiscent of dozens of gangster pictures, but for those who live it, the brotherhood and its allegiances are a very real deal.
And for viewers with short attention spans, this movie is not rushed -- it is to be savored, and so it takes its time revealing the particulars.
This is not a hyperkinetic music video at all.

John Hudak, Fellow, Brookings Institution
As of now, there are an estimated 7,000 politically appointed positions in the federal government. Again, it's an estimate, because there is no centralized list of political jobs, so no one knows the actual number. Nor is there a list of how many of those jobs are vacant on any given day. John Hudak argues that missing data created an embarrassing management and oversight problem for Congress and OMB. He has some ideas for how to close that information gap. Hudak is a fellow for Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He explained on In Depth with Jared Serbu how the government machine can still run with a large number of vacancies.

Edison's Eve resembles a ramshackle cabinet of curiosities, full of miscellaneous bits and pieces sticking out all over. The chapter on the Doll Family (four dwarf siblings who starred in the Ringling Bros. Circus) is awkwardly shoehorned into Wood's "man or machine" theme. Even more bizarrely, the book glosses over today's cutting-edge humanoid robotics technology, with brief drive-by mentions in the intro and epilogue. Wood's lucid prose and storytelling ability carry the book, but her subject matter seems disparate and undigested, as if she never really got around to molding her research into fully fledged ideas. The book barely touches on the fantasy relationship between children and dolls and doesn't consider how the historical fascination with automatons translates in our post-Furby world.
Wood's refusal to engage with contemporary cybertheoryeven if only to tussle with writers like Haraway or Plant, who tread similar groundmakes Edison's Eve seem like a nostalgic venture through the marvelous but dusty archives. A victim, we may presume, of the author's very human imperfection.

I've only had the movie stop maybe once or twice on me after commercials. (in 53 reviews)

It takes 3 hours to watch a 90 minute movie because not only are there so many commercials every 5 minutes, but the same 1 or 2 commercials keep repeating over and OVER! There wouldn't be even close to as many annoying advertisements if I watched these movies on TV.
If your goal as an advertiser is to make viewers despise you and your product, then by all means, spend some of your ad budget on Crackle air time. The movie I'm watching seems like it might be okay, but I can't bear to watch the same 2 internet.org ads TWO TIMES EACH during the numerous commercial breaks. I saw 5 minutes of movie between the last two sets of commercials. I turned it off at that point. I don't care how the movie ends. I also feel intense irritation at internet.org.
Crackle is FREE. If people are going to complain because of ads, then go pay Netflix, Amazon, etc. Plus, you don't have to worry about a virus. Thanks Crackle.
^^^^^. That's it.'it shows me 373738389293$382@3&383@3@&33$&38/@3$:838393 commercials but no show. The quintessential piece of $#*! app. Just stop. Go away. Shut it down. You obviously don't care and haven't tried to improve your app. So $#*! off. STOP RIDING SEINFELDS COAT TAILS. You aren't worthy. Quit your jobs.
I didn't have a problem with the commercials but once the movie came near the end it cuts off and no matter how many times i restart and fast forward and look at more commercials it won't continue in order to finish the movie...not worth it and that was one movie.
Crackle was really good a couple years ago when I first started watching. But in the last few months I have been unable to get past the first commercial before the movie or show just starts over. I just deleted it from all my devices. Do not waste your time downloading this app it will only enrage you when you get involved in the movie. And then they play the exact same commercials at every break
its okay about as good s Netflix hulu is the best and most current though
There are too many ads. If you want to watch ads, you might as well get paid for it (www.swagbucks.com/cfrane)
I really dislike Crackle. I tried it on three or four different occasions over the last several years . Except for a random movie here or there, there really isn't crap on there that I would actually want to watch. That's the problem. It's actually just a lot of crap.
crackle $#*!ing sucks so bad can barely watch anything at school thank god for putlocker.tn though i get all new movies on there.
Tip for consumers: never use this piece of $#*! websiteAsk joseph about Crackle
So there is some great programing, but the the interface and commercials suck! You can't rewind or fast forward without getting stuck in a FRIGIN!!! commercial. Too frustrating, I would rather pay for good programing, then suffer through this agony ever again . You can keep it. I won't be back!
This app stinks. If you enjoy constant freezing, repeat ads over and over every 5min this is for you. Might as well watch CNN Discovery or Nat Geo. Business model is the same. Terrible!
Tip for consumers: Don'tAsk john about Crackle
crackle freeze frames about every 3 to 5 minutes when iam watching a movie.It takes about5 minutes for it to restart. every movie.takes all night to watch a movie. its free/it still sucks .
Tip for consumers: Good luck.Ask James about Crackle
You can waste your time here if you want, they have very limited selection, but what they do have is "free". If you want a better selection, commercial free, look up HD on you tube.
When crackle first came out it was decent. But now it's just terrible. It constantly freezes. The picture quality is not that great. There is a lack of movies to choose from. They play commercials every 5 minutes, and it's the same commercial over and over. I got the same commercial literally 3 times in a row last night(in a single break). It's really annoying.
Crackle ducks constant errors and buffering don't have time for that crap.
Downloaded it on my xbox360. Can only watch 15min of movie, dont waste your time.
Tip for consumers: Dont use itAsk Nytana about Crackle
Just downloaded and i am unimpressed. Pressed the play on a movie. The commercial played fine but not the movie. After reading the negative comments I am removing it now.
Tip for consumers: Don'tAsk Chris about Crackle
Same problem as numerous other reviews not only here but at multiple websites!!!!!!
The movie will never resume after first series of commercials that occur about 15 minutes into ever movie. Crackle will always hang after the commercials then go to the play/resume/watch more videos screen. If you select "resume," the same commercial will play again taking you right back to the play/resume/watch more videos screen. Never can you get past 15 minutes of the movie on Crackle.
I have read hundreds of complaints on many other websites about the same issue occurring to numerous other people. Other people have stated it occurs with their Roku's, Play Station, Sony Smart TV, etc.. Personally I a have been trying with two different Samsung Smart TV's a 32" and 48" H-5500 series, and NEVER have been able to watch a full movie because Crackle always hangs after the first series of commercials which occurs about 15 minutes into movies.
Considering I have read numerous reviews online at multiple websites that go all the way back to 2011 by many people having the same exact problem with diverse types of devices it appears Crackle could care less if they have customers or go bankrupt.
Tip for consumers: Appears Crackle could care less about having customersAsk Rosario about Crackle
Just another commercial entity trying to trick everyone into buying their $#*!. Bad idea. Wrong platform. Change or die, $#*!.
Tip for consumers: The internet is endless. Find someone else.Ask Josh about Crackle
I came across Crackle from my daughter who stated that Seinfeld had a show called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. I started watching and I can t get enough of it, Its the greatest idea ever, I laugh every night and his quest are awesome. Thank you Crackle for having this show on.
Crackle is by far the worst free movie service I have ever used on the PS3. Overlooking the constant repeating and annoying advertisements all together due to necessity for a free service.
The frequent random drops in quality are so sever that you can barely make out the faces, and the lack of setting means restarting the movie is the only way to get back to standard quality.
On top of that it tends to sign you out CONSTANTLY, in both the menus and during a movie (Causing it to exit to the menu) Forget this free app, they couldn't pay me to continue using it.
Tip for consumers: NEVER use this app!Ask D about Crackle
worst movie site ever.the commercials stream better than the movies lmao.spend 7.99 get netflix!!!
Tip for consumers: waist of time trust me!!!!Ask carlos about Crackle
Some cool shows and it could be a really good app but the commercials make it impossible. Trying to watch a movie but when the commercial time came up it frozen on that area and would not move forward, just kept repeating. Either fix the app or you are gonna loss everyone and then there won't be need for commercials. Happens again I will kill the app and encourage everyone I know to as well.
This is without a doubt the worst app I've ever used, it has a big "x" in the corner THAT DOESNT EVEN WORK, I set up my account and within 5 minutes of me making the account it said my email doesn't $#*!ing exsist which is 100% BS I truley hate this app I looked at one of there tv shows and it literally only had 10 episodes all from different seasons, this is without a doubt the saddest piece of $#*! excuse movie and tv show app I've ever used
OMG Unbelievable, so many identical, long, horrible commercials. Movie was ok but I went from Episode 1 to the last one because I couldn't stand so many interrupting commercials. No more Crackle for me.
I have Crackle on my Samsung blueray player.
When I first tried it, the app worked okay. Not
Great, but OK. And commercials(of course!).
It's worked to varying degrees, but for the past
Several weeks The logo comes up, the screen goes
Blank and that's IT! NOTHING HAPPENS for a LONG
TIME. It seems not to matter how long I wait. And
I can't just back out of the app, I have to brute force it.
ads suck, movies suck, servers suck.
The worst in ads of all the movie apps. I already deleted it from my xbox and iphone. The same ads run for like 4 times and 3 different ads in a row. Worst of the worst. Stay away from Crackle. You are wasting your life from this movie app. Better pay fr Netflix or amazon prime
Same loading stoppage issues with PS Vita version that came out today. They will never fix it.
Doesnt work on my Smart TV. Jams after adverts
It is the worst. The same ads run continuously. Sometimes the same ad 3 times in a row. They obviously have sold very little advertising. The content wasn't bad but who could stand the constant ads. I would gladly pay a few dollars a month for the service but won't watch it as seeing the same ad over and over and over again is just too frustrating. Would not recommend.
Idont know what's going on,but cant watch any movies
Ot shows,it keep saying there is an error,that I not under
most of the movies and shows are pretty good. banned commercials don't really bother me all that much. I don't think most people that watch understand that companies have to pay the bills to give us this free product. I've only had the movie stop maybe once or twice on me after commercials. Not nearly as many as most other people say. so all in all, honestly, the only people I have about this site that they don't put the dates the movie was released.
It is no fun watching a movie with constant adds. I have deleted it. Shame
Lots of great old shows, like "Seinfeld" and "I Dream of Jeanie"; older films like "Ghostbusters" and "The Net"; newer shows made just for Crackle, like "Chosen"--all for free. Sure, there are a couple quick 30 second commercial breaks, but the commercials are often for other shows on Crackle. The films are full feature length and commercial-free. I've watched about a dozen movies and hours of TV shows with no problems. I'm watching Crackle using the Crackle app for PS4.
This is a virtual monster that is out of control. I did not authorize this, but it came anyway, somehow, some way. I was skyped into a business meeting across the country, and, all of a sudden this monster appeared and interruped a large meeting with its marketing garbage. I was infuriated, and called the company in Culver City, CA, and asked for support in taking this off my system. It is a blatent and unauthorized attack on my privacy. Their Privacy Policy statement is a fraud. The marketing overrides what you have and interjects both audio and video to disrupt your privacy. The company was supposed to call me back and never did. Stay away from this fraud!!!
Same problem as other reviews, movie will never resume after first commercial and if exited and resumed commercials are played again and still no movie!! In the past 6 months, I have managed to complete 1 full movie, 1 got to 80%, the other 18 attempts do not go past 1st commercial. WORST EVER! Just in case it matters, I am using a ROKU 2 XS with Comcast's Blast Plus 50 Mbps (avg speeds vary from 20-75). Hulu Plus and all other channels do not have this issue.
I used to love crackle but now I hate it. Can not watch a full movie cause it either do not play or stop after the first commercial. I will contact all advertiser I see on Crackle and tell then no one watch the commercials cause the people can not watch the movies. I used to tell my friends about Crackle but will not tell every one to protest Crackle.
Rubbish. Deleted. Downloaded for PS3. Doesn't work, even on an updated system.
Dear crackle. You suck my hole. I'm so annoyed that I took even a second to download your $#*!ing ridiculous excuse for a channel. You cannot even begin to compete in the market. Rest in peace.
Can barely enjoy a full movie experience with the 5 min ads interrupting every 10 mins. These guys behind Crackle are fking horrible. I'm disgusted by their service. I will never be using this app again even if they fix the ads.
with a brain injury, it's hard to follow the movie when the commercial interruptions are every ten minutes, and five minutes of ads. boo !!!!! horrible , sure they say there are only a few commercials, true, but they play the same ones every ten minutes. very frustrating. I'd rather not watch anything at all, then to suffer through this again. never again. FREE? not hardly!
I had Crackle on my PS3 and I have deleted it. Worst movie watching experience I ever had. I have tried to watch movies in the past but the commercials are far too long and numerous. They only have 2 commercials and they play over and over. I kept hoping they would iron this situation out but as of today 2013 Oct 12 I am done with Crackle. Don't waist your time with this rotten thing they call Crackle, it's garbage.
The advertising wore me out, same ad x 3 every 10 mins or less.....I can live with a few ads as I grew up with free on air TV, and the movies are "free" with some handy choices over time. But the same ads over and over again....bugger off, I deleted the app.
I love that it's free and that it has some very good shows from years gone by. My problem is with the App, I suppose. For some reason I see an entire library on my PC but when I go to my smart TV I cannot find the movie.
Example: I want to watch Stripes so I add it to my watch list and go to my smart TV. But the app not only doesn't show my updated watch list, it doesn't show Stripes in the lineup at all.
That is my only complaint. It plays smooth with Road Runner Turbo. Thanks Crackle, I have been sending tons of people your way.
I've just been using the app to view a TV series. My god, the ads are terrible - repeating, not skippable, and thumbing over (iPad app) just keeps popping up web ad with no other options! This is shocking. Not using this again.
I watch Crackle through my Roku and everything plays just fine. I'd give it 5 stars if occasionally when I stopped watching a movie for a night, it doesn't allow me to resume and I have to fast fwd to where I ended.
Cannot actually review because was not successful ever watching a full movie. kept giving playback error. I know it is not my internet connection because I can view all my other streaming videos from other apps just fine. This app just wasted several hours of my life and I did not even get to watch a movie very disappointed stay away

Yet though the pink dining room is sumptuous, Ali Baba's menu is strictly peasant fare, delivered with pride and panache. The baba ghanoush is the most garlicky I've ever tasted and utterly admirable; it's a shame it comes with pitas rather than one of the locally made Central Asian breads. At least the pitas are warm, and they wrap nicely around the borani bodenjon ($4.25), slices of eggplant splatched like a Pollock painting with meaty-tasting red oil and herb-flecked yogurt. The vegetable has been fried so that the skin crispens and the interior becomes voluptuously oily. Equally appealing is sambuseh, a big cut-up turnover that spills ground meat onto the platter, offered with the same yogurt sauce.
Predictably, the heart of the menu is a series of charcoal-grilled kebabs ($6.95 to $11.95) with a choice of three rice accompaniments: plain basmati, red rice seasoned with meat drippings, and green rice laced with dill and baby lima beans, a toothsome masterpiece. The best kebabs are, in descending order: lamb rib (several CD-sized chops with round bones in the middle), jujeh (Cornish hen glowing bright yellow), and salmon (a pair of skewers thickly crusted with spices, predominantly sumac). The menu includes a couple of Persian-influenced stews, notably one made with beef, split peas, and diminutive dried lemons that sounds better than it tastes. There's also a superb fried fish entrée ($9.50) described on the menu as "Michigan white fish." Get it with green rice rather than the limp fries.

Located on a ridge dramatically overlooking the LIE, Ali Baba is ideally located to snag families as they ply Long Island's Silk Road, instead of the cabbie clientele most outer-borough Afghan restaurants attract. One problem faced by a restaurant with these aspirations is the necessity of satisfying the appetites of children, who often eschew the ethnic food of their parents. Resolved to combat the "Drop me off at McDonald's" syndrome, and probably to attract non-Afghan diners as well, Ali Baba has interlarded its menu with some old American favorites, such as buffalo chicken wings, fish and chips, and burgers. Inevitably, when domestic dishes infiltrate the menu, certain foods tend to disappear. At Ali Baba, the bill of fare is sadly missing the homemade noodles and pumpkin-stuffed turnovers we've come to expect at joints like Speengar and Bahar Shishkebab House.
As compensation, Ali Baba mounts its own Philly cheese steak. It comes confined in aluminum foil, with little jets of steam issuing from the crinkles. As an avid fan of cheese steaks, I held my breath as I ripped the foil. The crusty hero was piled high with the requisite thin-sliced steak, into which melted American cheese had fully penetrated, and there was a further layering of tomatoes and mayo-slicked lettuce, too. One bite and I was hooked. By Philadelphia standards, it was better than Pat's King of Steaks. And though it wasn't quite as good as Tony Luke's, it beats driving the Silk Road down to Philly.

Letter: SG Village should take a cue
I am curious … I noticed in the Sugar Grove newsletter (December 2010) that the Village Offices are closed on the 23rd and the 26th for "Winter Holiday."
Is it a coincidence that those holidays fall at the same time as our Lord's birth? I think they call it "Christmas."
Come on. Even Dick's Sporting Goods, Sears, Wal-Mart and Target have given in trying to ignore the fact that it is the the birthday of Jesus. Why can't our village?

LIMA, Peru — A powerful earthquake rocked southern Peru on Tuesday, killing 15 people, injuring as many as 700 and causing many buildings to crumble, civil defense officials said.
Hardest hit by the magnitude-6.4 noontime quake was the tourist city of Nazca, where four people were killed and 380 injured, civil defense spokeswoman Lena Montes said.
The Peruvian Geophysical Institute said the quake was centered in the Pacific Ocean about 83 miles west of Nazca, which is 235 miles southeast of Lima.
In two Nazca neighborhoods, half of the homes--many of them adobe--were damaged, officials said.
"It is incredible the need that exists in Nazca now," said Anna Cogorno, a resident of the town of 25,000.
There was no report of damage to the famous Nazca Lines, the huge pre-Columbian etchings on a desert plain.
The quake lasted about a minute and was felt in Lima--where high-tension cables fell across a busy avenue--and as far away as Tacna, 600 miles southeast of the capital.
