Jobs, Steve
|Co-founded Apple Computer Corporation in 1976 with Steve Wozniak. He currently is the CEO of Apple and the CEO of Pixar, a computer animation studio he co-founded in 1986. After dropping out of college, Jobs worked for several months for Atari Corporation developing computer games and began building his telephone "blue box," a device that enabled one to make free long distance calls. In 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh to the world, a personal computer to rival the likes of those from IBM. In 1985, Jobs left Apple to form NeXT, which he hoped would focus on educational computing. Jobs returned to Apple where he is currently the CEO.
Joy, Bill
|Co-founded Sun Microsystems with Andy Bechtolsheim, Vinod Khosla and Scott McNeally. While attending Berkeley grad school, Joy was the principal designer of Berkeley UNIX. After starting Sun, he designed its Network File System and was a co-designer of the SPARC microprocessor architecture. In 1991, he designed the basic pipeline of UltraSparc-I and its multimedia processing features. This basic pipeline is the one used in all of Sun's SPARC microprocessors today. In 1997, Joy was appointed by President Clinton as co-chairman of the Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee. He was appointed as chief scientist of Sun in 1998.

It certainly doesn't look like a nice ending.
More or less, true.
Sure, a mildly interesting experiment.
I can't justify doing this chore, and have it with a very buggy and glitchy conclusion, considering you could just DL the original game and play it.
However, this could work with some "actual" modding effort.

We tried out several of the savouries on offer and were impressed. The price is reasonable when you consider the quality.
This is at the busy crossroad of sarat bose road and minty park. The place is easy to locate and reach. The food is basically a selection of desserts and savories. The place is small but it has a good seating arrangement. A good place to drop in, if one is on their way back after a full day at...
This is near Minot park. The outer decor is inviting. The menu is good, but the food did not turn out too good. It is a decent place for waffles, sorbets and crepes
Hi Doyel,
It is our endeavour to serve quality food and we would be grateful if you could tell us where we fell short so that we can meet your expectations.
Team PS
We have been frequenting this place since its inception and we love the food they have to offer. It is a purely vegetarian place and what lovely pancakes and waffles. My kids love eating here, especially the salads and sanwiches. Their Popeye's pick (crepes filled with corn and spinach with cheese sauce) is awesome.
And the service: the waiters always...
Thank you for sharing your experience. We look forward to your next visit.
Happy Eating!

Th eplace if famous for coffee and waffles, serves great waffles . A must visit if you are a waffle lover. A shopt exactly outside this shop serves amazing Bhel Puri. Probably the best in India.
Hi Anand,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Looking forward to your next visit.
Happy Eating!
Team PS
One of my favorite cafes. I just love to sit and sip my coffee in the late evenings at this place. The mushroom waffles and the caramel frappeccino is the best, with the winters currently it has a very cosy feel and I just cant have enough of this place.
On a visit to get some food packed to dine at home, we sat and had coffee and their "Popeyes Pick" which was delicious. The servers were patient with my little grand daughter who entertained herself playing around. Though we were the only ones there which was a bit strange, it was a great outing
Thank you for dropping by and reviewing us. We look forward to hosting a complete meal on your next visit.
Happy Eating!
Team PS
Was recommended by a friend to visit this place and she even asked me to order a certain dish. I would like to say I wasn't disappointed to the least. The service was friendly and the only thing that actually took a toll on me was the location and the size of the restaurant which could lead to a bit...
i am not a continental person.. still I enjoyed the food and ambience.. the staff were very friendly n innovative.. ready to listen n served what ever we asked.. we were six friends .. all of them enjoyed.. waffles.. crepes.. n pastas.. even the mocktail was tempting.... this type of restaurant is very necessary were you can casually go n...
Your review has reinforced what we stand for and has motivated us to give our best. A big thank you!

Clinton Campaigns for Cuomo; Chapter 2 (Updated)
For the second chapter of Clintons campaigning for Cuomo it was Bill Clinton, following in his wife's footsteps, joining Andrew Cuomo Thursday evening for a campaign rally at SEIU 1199's midtown headquarters. Many New York elected Democrats, including Charles Rangel, Jerrold Nadler, Scott Stringer, Tish James and Adriano Espaillat, joined them.
Cuomo gave a strong campaign speech, battering his Republican opponent and praising Clinton's presidency. Clinton, speaking for more than 25 minutes, forcefully supported his former cabinet member but also meandered through other themes. He spoke of the broad consequences of the upcoming election, casting it primarily about the federal government and the changes that a Republican controlled senate could have. While engaging, his speech was not as solid an election battle cry as Cuomo's speech.
Here are highlights of the speeches:
His County:
Among the Cuomo attacks on Astorino was an exaggerated claim based on the long-running HUD lawsuit against Westchester County. Dramatization and hyperbole are a standard element of campaign speeches, but Cuomo's assertion that Astorino "won't allow … minorities to live in his county" pushed the boundary. Another of Cuomo's recent campaign rallies also had racially charged comments. Continue reading
Rockaway Ferry Supporters Rally At City Hall (Updated)
Rockaway ferry service supporters came to City Hall Thursday evening to urge Mayor de Blasio to continue operating the service past it's scheduled October cessation. Initiated in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy while the A train was out of service for months, the ferry is subsidized by the City at an annual cost of approximately $6 million. The City calculates that the subsidy is at least $25 per passenger/trip. The de Blasio administration had continued the Bloomberg administration's short term ferry funding, but has announced that the subsidy will end in October.
The rally featured two citywide elected officials, Scott Stringer and Tish James, as well as Assembly Member Phil Goldfeder, State Senator Joe Addabbo, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and Council Members Eric Ulrich and Vincent Gentile.
The Rockaway peninsula's physical separation from the rest of the City is matched by a sense of political separation. It's particularly so in the neighborhoods which most use the ferry, with many residents believing that City Hall is not looking out for them. Those western neighborhoods, such as Belle Harbor and Breezy Point, overwhelmingly voted for Joe Lhota in 2013 and have little in the way of a political relationship with Bill de Blasio.
de Blasio Departs:
Mayor de Blasio left City Hall during the rally, passing just behind the rally as he headed toward his car. Rallygoers took note, loudly chanting and calling out to him, but his only acknowledgment or engagement with them was a small wave as he moved past. The mayor continued talking with an aide, ignoring the chants of "no ferry, no votes." Unfortunately for the ferry supporters, he did okay in his last election without their votes.
Update – Elected Officials Speak:
Here are the remarks of the elected officials:
Espaillat Walks (Updated)
Congressional candidate Adriano Espaillat today led a group of supporters on a four mile walk through Manhattan, from 135th Street to his campaign headquarters on Sherman Avenue. With several dozen cars in a caravan following him and music blasting, the candidate and supporters sang and danced their way up Broadway.
Espaillat spoke to the press and his supporters just before the walk. Giving a fiery speech, he attacked Rangel for being "in the center of [the] dysfunction" in a "broken" Washington. Espaillat also attacked Rangel for having "sided with Wall Street" repeatedly. Here is the portion of Espaillat's remarks made in english.
Melissa Mark-Viverito:
We talk with City Council Speaker, and Espaillat supporter, Melissa Mark-Viverito, about the congressional primary campaign in her East Harlem council district:
Update – Dancing & Singing on Broadway:
It was a bit north of the theater district, but there were some solid performances on Broadway.
Little Neck Douglaston Memorial Day Parade (Updated)
Many elected officials participated in todays Little Neck Douglaston Memorial Day Parade, among them Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Public Advocate Tish James, Comptroller Scott Stringer and Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.
Update – Electeds on Parade:
We look at the Mayor's, and other elected officials, reception:
de Blasio & Cuomo Remarks:
In what could be titled "a tale of two proclamations", the Mayor and Governor each made brief remarks at the start of the parade and each presented their own proclamation to the parade organizers. Neither took questions. de Blasio invoked his father's World War II service and injury, and subsequent struggles, in urging the audience to "never let their memories go" of service members injured or killed. Cuomo described himself as a "Queens boy" for whom it is a "pleasure to be back on [his] home turf." H e declared it "a day to remember that freedom is not free", noting that "we still have boys in harm's way." Their full remarks are here:
Steve & Teddy:
Congressman Steve Israel, chair of the DCCC, met a historic figure. Every parade needs a little goofiness after all.
Stringer Sandy Series Moves to Arverne
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer continued his series of town hall meetings focused on Hurricane Sandy recovery, visiting the Arverne Section of Rockaway Wednesday evening. (Our report on his initial town hall, in Rockaway's Breezy Point, is here.)
Here's our report.
Stringer Starts on Sandy
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer held a town hall in Breezy Point on Wednesday, the first in a series focused on Hurricane Sandy recovery. Here's our report.
Update: Here is our report on a subsequent Stringer town hall held in Arverne.
Inauguration 2014 (Updated x 2)
Mayor Bill de Blasio took office on January 1st with an inauguration ceremony on the steps of City Hall.
For the Price of a Small Soy Latte:
In his inaugural address de Blasio highlighted his call for funding universal pre-K and middle school after school programs with an increased income tax on high earners. We look at his clever framing of the anticipated additional tax burden for those high earners.
Update – Applause:
For the Kremlinologists (CityHallologists? deBlasiologists?), here's a brief clip of the introductions of elected & former elected officials and their respective applause, both by and for.
Update #2 – Stringer Oath:
NYS Supreme Court Justice Eileen Bransten administered the oath of office to Comptroller Scott Stringer, continuing on despite a jailbreak by one young attendee.
Spitzer Speaks, Splits
Eliot Spitzer voted this afternoon in a prototypical Spitzer event: arrive on-time, take care of the business at hand expeditiously and move on. He arrived right on time at his polling place, Manhattan's P.S. 6, went inside, voted and came out. Total time from arriving at the school steps to back in the car, including a 1/2 block walk? About 7 minutes. That includes just over 1 minute talking to the press. You can watch that 1 minute press availability right here.
The only glitch? A reporter, from the New York Post I believe, wanted to ask "where is your wife?" Here's what happened.
Keith Wright on the Primary Races
West Indian American Day Parade
Monday's West Indian American Day Parade included appearances by many elected officials and candidates. Here are some brief moments with a few of those attending.
Weiner's Parade Performance
Anthony Weiner loves a parade. Every parade. Especially those with loud dance music. (Here's a past parade worth watching.)
And for those of you who just want to see Anthony Weiner dance, well, you're welcome.
Will Schumer Endorse?
We asked Senator Chuck Schumer whether he plans to endorse any candidate in next week's Democratic mayoral primary.
Spitzer on Polls
We asked comptroller candidate Eliot Spitzer what he thinks about the recent wide swings in public polls on the race.
Stringer & Comptroller Diversity Issues
As Scott Stringer was endorsed by a group of about 50 clergy from around the city, he touted his plan to appoint a chief diversity officer in the comptroller's office and to pursue diversity goals for businesses and city agencies. Seemingly implicit in his plan was the premise that recent comptrollers have not done enough on these goals. I asked Stringer for his view of how the two most recent comptrollers, John Liu and Bill Thompson, have performed on these issues.
Spitzer's Harlem Stroll
Eliot Spitzer met with a small group of M/WBE business owners today to discuss the challenges that they face in obtaining city contracts. Afterwards, Spitzer walked down Harlem's Malcolm X Boulevard, visiting several local businesses along the way.
During the walk, I asked Spitzer about what his family-owned real estate business does to facilitate hiring M/WBE contractors. His answer was somewhat vague, beginning with "we haven't built in a couple of years", with the apparent implication that they would specifically seek, or be able to, to hire M/WBE businesses only as part of construction projects. Watch.

Semi-interested and not sure what to say? Tell me your sleep/wake times, how you're different than other people, your IQ, your concept of trust/honesty. Tell me your best attributes. You don't have to read my profile to write me. Firstly; I'm not PERFECTLY self aware, and thus, my profile can't be a exact snapshot of who I am. Let's talk about the ways we're different; the contrast: My identity is my aptitude, my interests, my ideas, my integrity. Not my possessions, workout routine, the celebrities I know, nor how I dress. Words are empty containers until filled by actions. I'm fair, well spoken, clean, calculating, easily defused, rarely fooled, fully appreciate and notice your best. I love, irrespective of direction, sharing the 'ah ha' moment. I want someone who is humble enough to learn from me, but who is articulate and knowledgeable enough to teach me. Even though I'm just another guy, it'd be nice to find someone who doesn't think so. I'd like to find someone that understands me better than most; a great conversationalist. I'm not patient and have a hard time deciding if I should be. Patience is a virtue sold by those qui bono immediately from my giving it. I've never had a motive-free sales pitch for patience. I have character flaws, etc., but, I'm receptive of constructive criticism. Naturally, I'd challenge a critique... but only in the hopes that it is accurate and defensible, because then I can accept and grow from what would otherwise be pointless negativity. Technically, I should suppress all the info that serves to narrow my selections and just hope someone's "like" for my essence trumps their dislike of my values. Ultimately though, this venue is supposed to be about finding people you click with; not just those you think are aesthetic.

2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500 Q&A
2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500 Question: Vibration or light thump or runble sound
This is a tough question because it is a sound or vibration. It sounds like a light thump or low vibration that I only hear at low speeds, below 40 mph. I thought it was coming from rear suspension, now I am wondering if it's the driveshaft flex busing. The car has 62K, any ideas will be appreciated. - jpmc86
2 Answers
Answer 1
There is a good chance the issue is with the driveshaft, here is some info from the common problems page: "A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential" - lawrenceg
Answer 2
I have a 2003 CL500 with 60,000. My car had the exact 'symtoms' and sound. MB in Santa Barbara said the car needs a ABC pump, which controls the hydraulic fluid in the car. There is an anti-vibrational part in the pump that keeps those vibrations from being heard. The cost for a new pump is $3,000 plus, but that's a lot less money than buying a new car! - Visitor

Thursday, April 23, 2015
The recent West Coast port slowdown over labor issues was more damaging economically and will result in more permanent cargo diversion to the East and Gulf Coasts than the 10-day lockout of longshoremen more than a dozen years ago, prominent port economist John Martin predicted Tuesday.

Port Disruption Damage Ticker
Friday, March 27, 2015
Labor peace may finally be returning to the West Coast ports, but the cargo delays that occurred because of low productivity were not theoretical. Importers and exporters were hit in their bottom line, and companies lost revenue and incurred extra expenses. Agricultural exporters in particular worry about lost opportunity costs if they can't win back frustrated overseas customers. Retailers likely will swallow the extra costs rather than passing them onto consumers, which will compress their...
FTR: Shippers Conditions Index shows 'short-term' positive indicators
Tuesday, March 24, 2015
FTR's Shippers Conditions Index increased to positive 2.6 reading in January, according to a statement from the freight transportation forecaster. FTR said the positive reading reflects a short-term reaction to fuel price reductions and adjustment for reversal of the 2013 Hours of Service changes. Further, the company predicted conditions will deteriorate in 2015 due to building regulatory drag, continued freight growth and increasing fuel prices. The SCI compiles n...
Growing an empire
Saturday, March 21, 2015
The rise of XPO Logistics is unlike many in the history of the logistics services market. To put things in perspective right off the bat, consider this: XPO had revenue of $177.1 million. In 2014, that revenue rose to $2.4 billion. XPO Chief Executive Officer Brad Jacobs has built a budding empire in truck brokerage, contract logistics, intermodal, expedited and last-mile delivery. But it's been the sheer pace at which he has built the size and scale of his company ...
Caution flags
Saturday, March 21, 2015
Economists and international development agencies are bullish on international trade, with forecasts that cross-border exchange of goods will continue to expand at historic rates. But infrastructure and logistics impediments could slow the rate of trade growth, cautioned Walter Kemmsies, the chief economist at marine and freight engineering firm Moffat & Nichol. At a certain point, he said, the increased cost of importing and exporting due to congestion could discourage ship...
Monsters of the Pacific
Saturday, March 21, 2015
Speaking at the California Maritime Leadership Forum earlier this year, Jock O'Connell, an international trade advisor at Beacon Economics, told his audience that the container shipping industry reminded him of "the old movies that some of us grew up with during the 1950s and the post-atomic scares and creatures that existed out in the Pacific. There are monsters out there." While a step down from the containerships on Far East-to-North Europe routes, BlueWater Reporting says th...
FedEx cost containment spurs strong profit growth
Thursday, March 19, 2015
FedEx reported strong profit in its third quarter ended Feb. 28, as business soared across all segments during the peak holiday season, much of it due to online shoppers.

The Memphis, Tenn.-based company said it was able to meet customer delivery expectations despite a demanding quarter t...

Rep. Lowenthal would tax cargo to fund freight infrastructure
Thursday, March 19, 2015
Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Calf., has resubmitted legislation to raise $8 billion dedicated to multimodal freight transportation infrastructure. H.R. 1308 , "Economy in Motion: The National Multimodal and Sustainable Freight Infrastructure Act," would establish a Freight Transportation Infrastructure Trust Fund to be funded through a national 1 percent fee on the way bill – the transportation invoice – for goods moved more than 50 miles by ground transportation.

Virginia port takes more steps to curb cargo backlog
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
The Port of Virginia is using a firehose approach to douse a congestion hotspot at its Virginia International Gateway terminal. On Monday, port authority officials for the fourth business day in a row announced more quick fixes to address the cargo backlog at the semi-automated facility. Two snowstorms last month and higher cargo volumes in March have pushed a facility that was already operating near capacity over the edge, and port management is working furiously to reduc...

U.S., Canada agree on multimodal system for reverse inspections
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
The United States and Canada on Monday reached a major milestone on customs collaboration by agreeing on procedures for each side to pre-inspect passengers and cargo in the host country, with the aim of expediting cross-border trade and travel in all modes for the first time. Pre-clearance is a key facet of the Beyond the Border Initiative and the 2011 action plan between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper to develop a border strategy aimed at securin...
FTR Shippers Conditions Index shows marked improvement in December
Friday, February 27, 2015
FTR's Shippers Conditions Index increased to a reading of -0.6 in December 2014, according to a statement from the company. The SCI compiles numerous factors affecting the shipping environment, and any reading below zero indicates a "less-than-ideal" environment for shippers. FTR attributed the increase in the SCI primarily to the swift decline in the price of diesel fuel and positive capacity impacts from the reversal of certain Hours of Service rules. The company ...

Silent Saturday: Stir-Fried Lamb with Broccoli

I'm participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) which means I'm blogging every day of November, 2013!
In honor of "chili season" (that's totally a "thing", right?), I asked some of my blogging friends for their best chile recipes. I present these food bloggers' favorite chili recipes to you here in all their glory! There is something for everyone here, I think: we've got vegetarian chilies, crockpot chilies, meaty chilies, beef-free (but not vegetarian) chilies, a chili or two that have no beans, and even a tomato-free chili. So rock on and make chili…have an excellent weekend!
I'm participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) which means I'm blogging every day of November, 2013!
I've got a thing for creamy, custard-like sweets. The Italian dessert panna cotta is one of my favorites, so a recipe in this month's Fine Cooking magazine, a Pumpkin Panna Cotta, caught my eye. The recipe from Fine Cooking features a sauce made with apples and apple cider but I decided to make the panna cotta without the sauce.
I often make my panna cotta in jars because I think it looks pretty, and so I don't have to worry about the whole un-molding business. You are, of course, welcome to make yours in ramekins and then un-mold them…whatever floats your boat! I found this pumpkin panna cotta to be plenty sweet without the sauce, but if you try it, I'd love to hear how it comes out.
(If you are interested in the recipe for this Brussels sprouts salad, you can find it here.)
I am a big fan of both intentional exercise and NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). I believe daily movement contributes to good health, and I think a device such as the Fitbit can encourage you to be more active.
To thank all of you for being my readers, I'm going to give one of you a Fitbit!
The Fitbit is a wireless activity tracker. It monitors things like how many steps you take and how many calories you burn. It also lets you know how much you sleep and it can function as an alarm in the morning. You may synch your Fitbit with your computer or your smartphone and use an app to log your food intake in order to aid the process of weight loss or weight maintenance.
I was going to give away the newest Fitbit model, the Fitbit Force, but Amazon.com doesn't have them in stock right now. So instead, you can choose between a Fitbit One and a Fitbit Flex. The Fitbit One has received better reviews. You wear it in your pocket, on a belt, or in your bra (only problem is I've heard it's pretty easy to lose); the Flex can be worn on your wrist. If you win, you can choose whichever one you prefer.
I will also send the winner a signed copy of my soon-to-be-released book One Simple Change: Surprisingly Easy Ways to Transform Your Life! The book will be available for shipping on December 3, 2013 but I have a copy right here I'll be sending to the winner before that…you'll be one of the first to see the book :)
This giveaway is sponsored by ME. I am paying for the Fitbit and the shipping as a way to thank to you all for reading my blog. The total value of this package including the shipping is a little over $100. Note that his giveaway is only open to my readers in the USA. Also note that If you win and you really prefer to wait for the Fitbit Force, I will send you a $100 Amazon.com gift card that you can put toward one. If you already have a Fitbit and you win, I can either send you another one (for you to give away to someone you love), or I can send you a $100 Amazon.com gift card. Your choice.
To enter this giveaway, please use the Rafflecopter widget below. The mandatory entry requires leaving a comment here on my blog. You may gain bonus entries for signing up for my newsletter (this will ensure you receive my blog email updates and/or my monthly newsletter), liking my Facebook page, and following me on twitter. GOOD LUCK!

Stars: Adam Sandler, Method Man, Adam B. Shapiro, Ellen Barkin, Evan Neumann, Melonie Diaz, Dan Stevens, Steve Buscemi, Dascha Polanco, Dustin Hoffman, Yul Vasquez, Kim Cloutier | Written by Thomas McCarthy, Paul Sado | Directed by Thomas McCarthy
Max Simkin (Sandler) is a fourth generation cobbler working in the same New York shop that has been in his family for generations. Disenchanted with the grind of daily life, Max stumbles upon a magical shoe-stitching machine that allows him to step into the lives of his customers – literally – and see how the other half lives, and finds that sometimes walking in another man's shoes is the only way one can discover who they really are…
Thomas McCarthy, director of the critically acclaimed The Station Agent and the fantastic Paul Giamatti starrer Win Win, would seem like an odd choice to direct an Adam Sandler movie, but then The Cobbler is no ordinary Adam Sandler film. »

The Weinstein Company has picked up U.S. distribution rights to "Hands of Stone," the drama starring Edgar Ramirez as iconic boxer Robert Duran and Robert De Niro as his trainer, Ray Arcel.
Both Relativity and TWC were bidding for the film. TWC has committed to 2,000 U.S. screens. The studio had already bought foreign rights to the pic a few months back.
Directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz and written by Jonathan Jakubowicz, the movie is based on the true story of legendary boxer Duran, who rose from the slums of Panama to become one of the great fighter of his time. His rivalry with Sugar Ray Leonard (portrayed by Usher in the film) is considered one of the fiercest in boxing history. He was nicknamed "hands of stone" because his hard hits led to 103 wins in 119 fights.
Ellen Barkin, Ruben Blades and Ana de Armas also star.

Though a comedy, our exclusive clip from The Cobbler could almost be mistaken for a horror movie. In this scary scene, star Adam Sandler turns into a very old man after slipping on a pair of someone else's shoes. He finds his new body to be too old and decrepit to properly communicate. This sends a couple of kids running for their lives. 's impersonation of The Walking Dead is so horrifying, one kid even faints on the sidewalk.
In The Cobbler, Max Simkin (Adam Sandler) has had enough of working in his little New York shoe repair shop where he quietly envies people with more interesting lives. So when he discovers an old family heirloom with the magical ability to change his appearance and transform into any of his customers, the temptation is too good to pass up.

The arrival of "Happyish" comes with a dour asterisk, with the Showtime series nearly having been derailed by the death of its original star, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Steve Coogan has filled that void, in a show characterized by strong casting and a whimsical tone, but also a rather tired conceit about self-absorbed yuppies grappling with questions of mortality as they approach middle age. All told, the premiere and a subsequent episode play like a slightly less angst-ridden companion to HBO's "Togetherness," with a higher comedy quotient — though one that still leaves Shalom Auslander's creation waffling somewhat charitably in the zone of "goodish."
Showtime has opted to preview the program following the season finale of "Shameless," in advance of its regular slot behind "Nurse Jackie" later this month. Coogan plays Thom Payne (the series has a not-so-subtle fondness for philosophers), who is introduced celebrating a 44th birthday with his »

Showtime released a new trailer for its upcoming series "Happyish" on Friday. The comedy series stars British actor Steve Coogan as Thom Payne, a 44-year-old man whose world is thrown into disarray when his 25-year-old "wunderkind" boss arrives, saying things like "digital," "social" and "viral." The sudden change sends Thom on a soul-searching quest to discover if he is, indeed, truly happy. In the trailer, we go through the highlights of Thom's day, which include his son puking at the breakfast table, his boss (Bradley Whitford) indulging in non-alcoholic wine at 11.30 a.m., and a woman (Ellen Barkin) misattributing Goethe to Lululemon. »

The 60-year-old star also opened up about the couple's exclusive nuptials and confirmed it was an alcohol-fuelled affair. She shared: ''I can only speak for myself, and that would be a big yes.''

The Ocean's Thirteen actress, 60, spoke candidly about her boozy, glamorous evening at the couple's ceremony at the Aman Canal Grande hotel in Italy during What Watch Happens Live on Wednesday.

Chicago – The newest Adam Sandler film that doesn't feature him dressed like a chubby middle schooler is really bad, but in a special way. Similarly, it is an instant classic in the legacy of bizarre disasters, a footnote in writer/director history that must be witnessed to be fully understood.
Part of its perplexity is how the film is always in grasp as it shows itself, and how you can reach out and try to bring it back home, but then it explodes. This is one of those films where its flaws are more believable as a conspiracy than a misjudgment. Someone, please, let the police know that writer/director Tom McCarthy is missing, and someone has his shoes.
Rating: 1.0/5.0
The key to entering "The Cobbler" is indeed not lead star Adam Sandler but co-writer/director McCarthy. If you've seen his films like "The Station Agent," "The Visitor, »

If the reviews for "The Cobbler" are any indicator, Adam Sandler may want to consider a career change and become an actual cobbler. Sandler's latest comedy offering, which centers around a shoe repairman who finds a magical device that lets him transform into his customers, currently sits with a dismal 8 percent "rotten" approval rating from the 37 critics counted, so far, by Rotten Tomatoes.

Shoe Be Doo: McCarthy's Magical Realism Has No Sole
Actor Thomas McCarthy has developed a solid reputation as an indie film director thanks to his first two films The Station Agent (2003) and The Visitor (2007). While his third outing, 2011's Win Win, showcased a tendency for schmaltzy cliché, it's a far cry from his most recent offering, The Cobbler. Headlining Adam Sandler, many expected this to be one of Sandler's infrequent attempts at dramatic prowess, somewhere along the lines of his surprise turns in Punch Drunk Love, or even Spanglish…or even Men, Women & Children. Instead, McCarthy doggedly pursues a broad comedic tone, something that recalls old Jerry Lewis vehicles, except with a lethargic, bored star. Resolving a series of lazy dramatic conflicts, everyone involved coasts through this torporific exercise with grim determination.

Audiences will soon be getting Happyish, as the highly anticipated Showtime series finally makes its debut next month. The show that was initially beset by tragedy – as original star Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away – has respectfully re-cast, re-grouped and re-shot, and a snippet of the result is now available in a new trailer. Striking a much lighter tone than expected, Happyish now stars Steve Coogan, employing an accent that is perhaps best described as 'American-ish.'
Thom Payne (Coogan) has hit his mid-40s, and is facing the prospect of working for a new, younger, more hip boss who has assumed control of his workplace. A bundle of contradictions, Thom is concerned about erectile dysfunction, but worries that chemical remedies may counteract his anti-depressants. He loathes the current youth-focused trends, but tries his best to make skinny jeans work. Mostly, he wonders if he could be happier, but suspects that this »

Took 3 kids ages 11, 5, and 3 on this! Took us 2 hours with stopping to eat a light backpack lunch in the magical forest by the creek! Tons of amazing picture opportunities, beautiful easy hike. Only a slight up hill to the limn kilns. The history you can feel! Extra large mushrooms growing along the trail. It felt like there may be little fairies hiding in the forest! Pretty magical and the kids absolutely loved it! Highly recommend for those who want a decent quick easy hike!

Thank you in advance for any help offered! I have a Macbook unibody 5,1. The original hard drive is in it and full at this point (about 1g left). I have purchased a 750GB HD. I have everything backed up on a time capsule via time machine.
I have read about cloning (super duper!, etc) vs time machine restore method for the new hard drive. My question is, since I have an express USB 2.0 and the new hard drive can I do the time machine restore via disk utility and simply put my current hard drive as the source and the destination as the USB hard drive? Then I could simply change out the hard drives once the process is done (will this transfer my files/pics/music as well as OSX 10.6.8 info needed)?
Most of the methods I have read require using my OSX 10.6.3 start up disc to go through the process- disc utility formatting, then installing the OSX, then updating OSX, then using time machine to restore, and possibly going through a process of re-authorizing software agreements, or using SuperDuper! (additional cost for the software) cloning the drive and simply changing out the drives- sounds easier.
2nd, some of the articles I have read mention partitioning the hard drive when formatting and GUID partition, while others just mention formatting it via- erase and format to Mac OS extended (journaled). It doesn't appear I need to do a partition, but thought I would ask.
Basically I would like to get the hard drive all set up, before I even install it into the Macbook. I thought I should be able to do this via the USB 2.0.
Thanks for any help!
