ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Marty Turco won for the first time in the NHL in more than 13 months with the help of a disallowed goal that would have tied it, and the Boston Bruins got second-period goals from Zdeno Chara and Benoit Pouliot less than 1 12 minutes apart to beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Sunday night. Anaheim's Matt Beleskey beat Turco to the stick side with a wrist shot just inside the left post at 7:22 of the third period, but teammate Andrew Cogliano had both feet in the crease and was pressed up against Turco when the puck went in. NHL officials in Toronto examined replays and ruled no goal -- infuriating Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau, who had more than a few choice words for referee Rob Martel. Brian Rolston then gave Boston a 3-1 lead, finishing off a 2-on-1 break with Chris Kelly by beating Jonas Hiller with a one-timer from the right circle with 6:54 to play. Anaheim's Lobomir Visnovsky completed the scoring with 2:29 left. Turco, playing his third game with the Brui...

David Byrne
More Talk About Songs and Recording
When the chance to interview David Byrne presented itself, the first thought I had was how enjoyable it would be to talk about David's work over the years with Brian Eno. Sure, Eno produced some great Talking Heads records back in the day, but my favorite collaboration was 1981's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, a Byrne/Eno record that fit "flown in" found vocals over groove-based studio experiments. And to top that off, in 2008 they collaborated again on the excellent album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, comprised of more straightforward songs than ...Bush of Ghosts. We did discuss these albums, but we also were allowed plenty of time to delve into numerous topics, including David's recent and ambitious collaboration with Fatboy Slim and an army of female vocalists on the epic Here Lies Love, a double album based on the life of Imelda Marcos. After a quick photo session, David and Pat Dillett, a producer/engineer who has worked with David frequently (see his own interview this issue), joined me in the front room of Kampo Studios in NYC (R.I.P.) and we chatted away.

text: Hello all, Does anyone have any information or experience about using GFS and the Cluster Suite and JBoss Clustering on the same cluster? I've been looking for a couple of days, but I can't seem to find any information on that configuration. Our goal is to create a J2EE cluster with a shared, global filesystem. GFS seemed like a logical choice. I'm speculating that if Cluster Suite was only used for GFS, and not for any other services, then it might work okay with JBoss Clustering. Cluster Suite would handle the GFS clustering, and JBoss Clustering the J2EE app server clustering. But I also wonder about conflicts or incompatibilities. And I especially wonder how fencing would impact JBoss. Has anyone tried this configuration, or heard of anyone who has? If there any problems, I suppose they will be worked out eventually, since Red Hat has acquired JBoss. But we don't want to waste a lot of time going down a path with known problems. Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated. Geary Sutterfield Lead Software Systems Engineer The MITRE Corporation

For Tim Duncan, the NBA lockout last season may have been a huge blessing. If he was on the court keeping busy and playing for the San Antonio Spurs, he might have kept putting his plans to open up "BlackJack Speed Shop," his own car and customization shop. Duncan opened up about his new business venture and spoke a bit about his new shop, including on one of the reasons why he decided to open it up (h/t SlamOnline.com). I kind of got a preview of my life after basketball [during the lockout]. I was like, Man, I'm gonna be pretty bored if I don't start setting something up now. All that he's known has been basketball for the majority of his time. He's had to keep busy during each season and then train for the upcoming one after the playoffs were done, so he's been able to find something to do. Now closer to the end of his career, he's decided to take some business risks that may be filled with opportunities. Spurs fans thinking about Duncan retiring from the game is a difficult one to imagine since he's been the cornerstone of the franchise since he got drafted. With Duncan making his presence known in ways than basketball in San Antonio, it may be a softer blow to his faithful fans knowing he won't be making any future plans of relocating and staying close to the people who've appreciated his contributions to the team and city.

Blonde Woman Rushed to Hospital from Tiger Woods' Home
Reports say a blonde woman was rushed to the hospital from Tiger Woods' residence in Florida and was later listed as an "advance life support" patient. No word on whether that woman is wife Elin Nordegren, shown here with identical twin sister Josefin in happier times. More details and another photo of Elin and her twin after the jump.
Us Weekly says an ambulance was called to the residence early this morning. Elin's mother is reportedly visiting so perhaps the patient is her mother as I can't imagine Elin being described as "middle-aged."

Fisher, Stroud share 1st-round lead at Wyndham
GREENSBORO, N.C. Ross Fisher figures he doesn't have anything to lose at the Wyndham Championship.
The PGA Tour rookie who arrived way outside the playoff picture shot a 6-under 64 on Thursday and shared the first-round lead with Chris Stroud.
"I know what I've got to do, and I've just got to go enjoy it, and if it's meant to be, it'll happen," Fisher said. "I don't want it to end here."
Eight players - defending champion Sergio Garcia, Matt Jones, Robert Garrigus, Jordan Spieth, Trevor Immelman, Morgan Hoffman, Patrick Reed and Andrew Svoboda - shot 65.
John Senden and Stuart Appleby were among the five players at 66 at the final tournament before golf's postseason begins next week.
It was the highest score for an opening-round leader since the tournament returned to Sedgefield Country Club in 2008.
Fisher, a four-time winner on the European Tour, came to central North Carolina at No. 162 on the points list and needed a huge weekend just to make it to the postseason.
He was in the last threesome of the day, started his round on the back nine and made his climb late.
He eagled the par-5 fifth when he landed his approach shot about 7 feet from the flagstick and sank the ensuing putt, then joined Stroud at 6 under two holes later with a 30-foot birdie putt. He could have overtaken him, but missed a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 8 before pushing a 40-foot birdie putt a few inches wide on No. 9.
"My manager said, `You've got nothing to lose. Just go out there all guns blazing and see what happens,'" Fisher said.
Stroud had eight birdies during his best round of the year, which came at the Donald Ross-designed course that had vexed him through the previous five years.
"I've even told people I love this golf course," Stroud said. "I have no idea why I don't play well here."
Stroud could've easily skipped this week and rested up for the playoffs. He arrived at No. 48 on the points list and - unlike so many other players here this week - is assured of a spot in the playoff field.
He has played this tournament every year since the crosstown move but made it to the weekend only once - finishing in a tie for 73rd last year.
After missing the cut at PGA Championship by one stroke, he said he "told my caddie, `I got to play next week.'
"I'm playing too well to go home and just sit and get rusty," Stroud said. "I said I want to get sharp for The Barclays. Let's go to Greensboro, low expectations since I haven't played that great here."
Those expectations might have been raised after a strong first round in which he made a quick charge up the leaderboard with three straight birdies.
The 31-year-old Texan, who started on the back nine, stuck his tee shot roughly 2 feet from the flagstick on the par-3 seventh and sank that putt to briefly move to 7 under.

Mercedes Marten
this wiki
|Mercedes Marten
|NPC Info
Quest NPC
Mercedes Marten is an NPC in Dragon's Dogma. She is the daughter of Grende Hearthstone, the King of Hearthstone. She is also leader of the Enlistment Corps.
Name: Mercedes Marten (メルセデス・マーティン),
Role: Daughter in the House of Marten, Captain of the Enlistment Corps.
Likes: Knights and Knighthood. To be recognized as a knight by her father.
Dislikes: Traitors. Those who question her ability to lead.
Body Type: Average height with average bust, waist and hip.
Personality: Friendly but firm, straight-laced, principled tomboy with an inferiority complex; idealizes knights and knighthood.
"A female knight who was dispatched from a neighbouring country to Gransys.
She is the captain of the Enlistment Corps, charged with repelling the dragon."
Grende Hearthstone used to lead a company of knights. Of his two sons and his daughter, Mercedes ; the brothers also led their own companies of knights. But Grende's hopes for his daughter ran more towards wedding her to an influential noble or a royal from a neighboring demesne to firm up the power base of the House of Marten. But once she reached marrying age, Mercedes instead asked for her own company of knights. Aware of her own inexperience and that lack of skills required to lead others, she trained until she was reasonably able as a knight. It was around this time that the dragon appeared in Gransys. If someone from Grende's nation defeated the dragon, it would greatly increase the power of Hearthstone. Grende was not reckless enough to send either of his brave and strong sons. However, he had to send someone of suitable position — someone as closely related to him as possible — or Gransys might take offense. For the first time in years, Grende called Mercedes forth to speak with her.
He hardly wanted his sons to head to the front lines of the battle with the dragon, for to face a dragon was certain death. Mercedes, however, was of suitable position to be Hearthstone's representative. In addition, the people of Gransys would surely never allow a woman to stand on the front lines. Unaware of this, Mercedes was happy to receive the orders from her father and set off for Gransys thinking that he had finally given her his approval, not understanding his true reasons... (Mercedes' Tale).[1]
Related questsEdit
- A Rude Awakening (battle the Hydra)
- Scouting Mission (escort Mercedes to The Shadow Fort)
- Pride Before a Fall (observe the duel at the Windbluff Tower)
If one is interested in Mercedes becoming their Beloved, she must be romanced before Pride Before a Fall or she will disappear from the game until New Game Plus.
However, after the duel with Julien it is possible to raise her affinity by gifting her with Cloudwine or an Arisen's Bond.
- Her favorite gift is Cloudwine.
- Her armor, the Captain's Armor Set, is available as Downloadable Content, or from the Black Cat in Dark Arisen.
- Her unique sword, the Silver Rapier, can only be obtained by not interfering with her duel with Julien.
- Her shield, the Lustrous Targe, can only be obtained by taking her Scouting Mission escort quest.
- As the Beloved, during the final cutscene, she believes that it was the feats of the Arisen that have changed things around them rather than the main pawn taking the very form of the Arisen. She then doubts her initial thoughts of something being amiss.
Mercedes speaks with a French accent.
During Come to Court
- "Arisen... Hail, ser. It seems you truly stand apart from the rest of us. Some sneered when I presented the hydra's head. Said it was your feat alone that won it. It truth, I cannot deny it. I had no hand in it... 'Tis plain fact. But what of the Enlistment Corps, then? What meaning does our fealty hold? I have no answer to give my men... To give myself."
- "Pray, leave me. I fear I will be well drunk by eve's end."
During Griffin's Bane
- "They're touted as elites, but the fact it it is that they're mere sellswords. The harshest tasks are often left to such types, or to the men of the Enlistment Corps."
- "'Twas but a short while we shared, but they were men under my command just the same. I would gladly fight alongside them now, were it possible... Alas, the duke has other use of me."
- "Arisen...I ask you in my stead. If you choose to join Georg and his men in this fight... Pray, see them back alive. They are competent warriors, to a man, and not apt to die so easily... But I would rest easier here knowing they march with the slayer of the hydra. ...Please, ser."
Upon the Griffin's Death and before reporting to Aldous
- "All of the men are safe? Truly, they owe you a debt, ser. As do I. I regret I have nothing to give you, but swear upon my name I shall repay you, Arisen. I mean it true, ser. I am greatly joyed to know a warrior such as you. One willing to fight for the sake of others."
As the Beloved
- "Pray, let me apologize... I was as like to die of shame as dragon's fire. To have been the beast's captive so easily, and to have caused you peril for it... I am sorry. 'Twas a duel to the death you fought with the wyrm. Sincere as any I've seen. And yet, there was a sense of... familiarity between you. An air of kinship, almost. I harbor no delusion that I might have been of any help, had I a blade in hand. But what's more, there was an aura there, fit to bar any intercessors. 'Twas enough to make me envious, the bond you shared with the beast as equals. Pray, do not take offense, but I saw a likeness in you and the dragon. Where that resemblance lies, exactly, I could not say... but you and it both are things apart from the world. Unique. I well know that no effort I might spend could e'er make me fit to aid you, Arisen. I am fit to believe in you, and wait. And so I shall. Pray, come back to me alive, ser."

Mercedes uses the following equipment: Silver Rapier, Lustrous Targe, and Captain's Armor Set
- Mercedes shares similarities with the character Casca from the action/fantasy manga Berserk .
- Both share physical attributes such as dark skin and short dark hair, and both are considered tomboys.
- For most of the manga, Casca is the only female commander of an army, like Mercedes; though both have no-nonsense attitudes, they are protective of their men and reveal a much friendlier side to their personalities.
- As a result of her status as a female commander, Mercedes has been the receiver of sexual threats from antagonists, much like Casca.
- Mercedes' attire is embellished with griffins, an image of her house's supposed heraldry . The manga character serves under a man named Griffith, who is famously known as "The White Hawk" and is the leader of the Band of the Hawk (and so their insignia are hawk wings on a sword). Both aspire to appease their superiors, but suffer from an inferiority complex as a result.
- ↑ Dragon's Dogma characters (Capcom)

The sky is falling!!!
posted at 10/9/2009 10:32 AM EDTLet's see ....three games in against three very good teams and we get two loses. I think we all should leave town and forget there is a hockey team here. Or perhaps whine like little girls that don't get their way.Sell the team. Darn they're not playing the way I want Whaaa!! THIS IS HOCKEY PEOPLE!!!!! This is why you enjoy it when they play well. It's not easy in this sport to have all cylinders firing all year and into the playoffs. Anyone who has played or watched hockey (not just the B's) would know there is no reason to freak. If they still play like this in January then yea. If I'm not mistaken the STANLEY CUP CHAMPS were not in the playoff race late in the year, were they? This team is not much different than last years. They will come around and play well, but don't expect a team to play the same year after year, game after game!!. Oh look Nashville and Pheonix, Atlanta, Ottowa are front runners for the cup, they have more wins than loses!! Get a grip Boston, take a pill and go watch the overpaid drugies in Anahiem play that boring, easy game, and wave your pink hats, you know the game no one complains about with extremely high tix prices and the same crappy food concesions? most of you NEED to learn THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER!!!!

In Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, Scrooge's entire approach to life changes with the visit of a ghost. Was Jacob Zuma similarly visited while in Nkandla such that he has chosen to embrace a new approach to governance in order to establish his legacy? J. BROOKS SPECTOR has uncovered a confidential memorandum that sets out a near-revolutionary approach the president is planning for his second administration.
There is the famous final line in the film, The Candidate, a classic American political drama, where newly-successful US Senate candidate Bill McKay (played by Robert Redford) is told by his aide that now that all the votes have been counted, in an major political upset, McKay has actually won his election. And McKay, in the very last line of the film, replies to his aide, "What do we do now?" That same question must surely be preoccupying the inner circle around Jacob Zuma, given the fact that, absent an unexpected, divine thunderbolt, he will inevitably be his victorious party's selection for chief executive, once the country's parliament votes formally to elect the country's new president.
Fortuitously, The Daily Maverick has received a copy of a presidential decision memorandum that has been prepared for just...

Results presented at the 43rd European Association for the Study of
Diabetes Annual Meeting
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Results presented today at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes demonstrate the ability of ACTOS(R) (pioglitazone HCl) to reduce the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. ACTOS is an oral antidiabetic agent for type 2 diabetes belonging to the thiazolidinedione (TZD) class of drugs.
Study Design and Results (PS130 / Abstract #1257)
This retrospective analysis of case records from a large managed care database of patients with diabetes showed that therapeutic regimens that included ACTOS were associated with reductions in the risk for stroke or myocardial infarction (MI) compared to non-thiazolidinedione therapies. The adjusted relative risk of stroke for the ACTOS group was 20 percent lower than that for the group not receiving ACTOS. Likewise, the risk of sustaining a heart attack over the study period was 38 percent lower in the patients receiving ACTOS than in those taking an antidiabetes drug regimen that did not include ACTOS.
"In this study, ACTOS was associated with reduced risk of heart attack and stroke," said Robert Spanheimer, M.D., Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc., senior medical director of diabetes and metabolism. "These outcomes - in a real world setting - are consistent with findings of no increase in total macrovascular events or death from PROactive, a prospective, randomized, controlled outcomes study."
Case records from January 2003 through June 2006 from a large managed care database of diabetes patients who were at least 45 years of age:
-- had not had a stroke or MI for the last six months and who were taking
either ACTOS (11,433 patients) with or without any other antidiabetes
treatment (excluding rosiglitazone, another member

YIELD: Serves 8 to 10
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, cut into small pieces, and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the stock, peas, bacon pieces, and 2 cups of water, and simmer for 1 hour, skimming away any impurities that rise to the top. Add the pepper, salt, and aniseed and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley and duck, and serve immediately.
Original recipe from The Accomplisht Cook, 1660:
Boil green pease with some strong broth, and interlarded bacon cut into slices; the pease being boiled, put to them some chopped parsley, pepper, anniseed, and strain some of the pease to thicken the broth; give it a walm [warm it] and serve it on sippets, with boiled chickens, pigeons, kids, or lambs-heads, mutton, duck, mallard, or any poultry. Sometimes for variety you may thicken the broth with eggs.

his consciousness is spread out through his body,and out with his TTK to whatever he is in contact with,is it just a physical version of telepathy?
is Superboy's TTK sense a version of telepathy?
The physical version of telepathy is telekinesis. Telepathy is mind to mind contact, and telekinesis is mind to physical world.
ok so its TK that works exactly like TP,just in the physical world? right?
Superboy's mental power seems to involve touching to work so maybe just think of it as seemingly magical powers that need touch to work. Both telepathy and telekinesis have no scientific explanation and are just the old magic in pseudo science language.
unlike the real world comics has said TK and TP is not magic,but science or nature,but not magic.if his TTK was magic that would make his power resistant to magic attacks.of course in the titans of tomorrow storyline future kon blocked adult freedy freemans magic punches,and later when they came back to the present,he rescued supergirl while acting like magic wasnt a bother to him,so you never know.
Maybe Superboy is doing long distance stuff by touching the air ? There seems to be a limit on how far the powers can work whether moving things or knowing about things.
or he can extend the field way farther now,idkbut he does do it though,i think its a lil inconsistent,he has three versions of TK at the same time(TTK,fullTK,and TTK senses).the TTK and TTK senses work perfectly together,the full TK might be a preview of what the future looks like with his TTK senses.
It does seem that Superboy now has a wider power field that can affect a whole room or even a whole building, wherein he knows about all the things in the field and can also move things in the field.

Not true, telepathy and telekinesis are not versions of one another anymore than clairvoyance is a polarized version of teleportation. They work on completely different mechanics (at least when represented in comics) and manifest completely differently. Telepathy is being able to sense thoughts (sometimes empathy as well) or control the functions of the brain via mental projection. Telekinesis is (broad definition) the manipulation of matter or energy or the bending of space or time. They aren't opposites, they're simply two powers on either ends of the spectrum, one affects the physical, the other metaphysical.
To 2177's point, no it doesn't. Conceivably, its possible for a telekinetic to gain pseudo-telepathy since thoughts are electrical synaptic patterns, thus are energy and can be manipulated, bent or controlled. So it can be argued a high-end telekinetic could possess a form of telekinetically-based telepathy. However, Conner's power works more like a form of telekinetically-based clairsentience, where he can gain information from his surroundings. It's almost like psychometry, but not telepathy.
Superboy now seems to have the more usual telekinesis and tele feel (tele sense similar to sonar sense). It does make sense that Superboy can feel objects before he moves them even though he does not see the objects.
@colonyofcells: yeah he mentioned he perceives the world through his TTK,so yah he probably does feel everything as he is mnipulating it.would this make his TK have pinpoint accuracy,and almost perfect control?
It does seem that Superboy has a power field that can sense things like an additional sense that is as good as sight and can also move the sensed objects. Bats have the sonar sense and sharks have several additional senses to find prey such as detection of weak electrical signals, detection of temperature changes, detection of pressure changes.
would he still be able.to read things of he did not have any TK powers? just his spread out consciousness.
is his TK so powerful that it actually feels,like air brushimg against you?
where does his consciousness and TK end and begin,do they work independent of each other,but used together makes a great power? or is it without the one,the other wouldnt work?
My guess is telekinesis feels hard and solid like Green Lantern constructs.
@Reactor: The mechanics are no where near consistent enough for you to make the claim that I'm wrong.
anyome want to try amswering my questions from my last post?
does anybody else think lexs dna stabilized kals dna sonkon wouldnt become a bezerk clone,and that the third donor changed kons powers and consciousness into what it is now,also if there was no third donor wouldnt kon turn out exaclly like his YJ show counterpart?

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Georgia's labor department reported Thursday that the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate climbed two-tenths percentage points in the last month to reach 10.3 percent in July.That's up 4.1 percentage points since the same time last year and marks the 21st consecutive month the state's rate remained above the national unemployment rate, currently 9.4 percent. "Although layoffs are moderating, nearly a half-million Georgians are officially unemployed," Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said. "These jobless workers could comprise a mythical unemployment line that stretches from Dalton to Atlanta, through Macon and down to Valdosta." On Thursday afternoon, some of that mythical unemployment line formed at the Gwinnett Center as Gwinnett's Chamber of Commerce and the Gwinnett Medical Center sponsored the 29th annual Expo and Job Fair. The lines to enter the job fair were long, too, with some people waiting about half an hour just to get in to the four-hour fair. Some people even began showing up to get in 90 minutes before the doors opened. "It's a sign of the times," said the chamber's Demming Bass while looking out at the line waiting to enter. "You've got unemployment that just set a record here in Georgia, and there are folks out there that are looking for good jobs. We're fortunate that we have some of those companies here that can offer those good jobs." One of those companies that many people seemed interested in was NCR, the technology company in the process of relocating its corporate headquarters to Duluth. Bass said from what he's heard of the 1,300 jobs coming here as part of NCR's relocation, only about 300 of those jobs will be relocating from Ohio. "The rest are going to be hired locally," he said. According to Bill Ryan, a NCR human resources spokesman, in four hours Thursday the company probably spoke to 500 to 600 people. "It went very well," Ryan said. "I was impressed with the turnout and the crowd." He also confirmed the company is looking for people to fill positions for those who will not be relocating from Ohio. Those departments looking to hire include information technology, human resources, engineering and customer service among others. "All our positions are listed online, so I'd encourage everyone to get on our Web site and apply online," he said. "That's still our main portal." Bass said the long lines of people job searching in Gwinnett speaks highly of the county's economic environment. "Since 2000, Gwinnett has led the state in job creation," Bass said. "We've had more jobs created in Gwinnett than in Fulton, Cobb and DeKalb combined since 2000. ... It doesn't surprise me that you have people here from all over looking for those job opportunities because we're one of those kind of rare gems out there in that we do have job opportunities that are happening here." That's what brought out Bethlehem's Walter Bell to his first job fair. Unemployed for 19 months now, Bell was just looking to get back in the working game after striking out with his own trucking business. "I'm a certified pipe welder and pipe fitter also," Bell said. "I don't know if this place can help me with that or not."

Dean T. Schaefer, 50, of Milwaukee was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Friday, April 18, with ninth offense operating while intoxicated after a road rage incident the previous night in Greenfield.
At about 7:30 p.m. April 17, Greenfield dispatchers received a report from a driver that a pickup truck was chasing him on Highway 100 near Cold Spring Road. The driver of the car reported that Shaefer had gotten out of his truck at a red light and approached him allegedly yelling and pounding his fist.
Police officers stopped Schaefer in the 9500 block of Layton Avenue where he failed field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test indicated a blood-alcohol content of 0.12.
Schaefer's driving record shows eight previous convictions for OWI dating back to 1989.
The ninth offense OWI is a class G felony with a minimum sentence of three years and maximum sentence of 10 years and up to a $25,000 fine.
The legal blood alcohol limit for a person with more than three previous convictions is 0.02.

Legendary publisher and writer John Calder said of Barbara Wright that she was "the most brilliant, conscientious and original translator of 20th century French literature." Wright introduced to an English-speaking readership and audience some of the most innovative French literature of the last hundred years: a world without Alfred Jarry's Ubu, Raymond Queneau's Zazie, and Robert Pinget's Monsieur Songe scarcely bears thinking about. This wonderful collection of texts about and by Barbara Wright-including work by David Bellos, Breon Mitchell, and Nick Wadley, as well as a previously unpublished screenplay written and translated by Wright in collaboration with Robert Pinget-begins the work of properly commemorating a figure toward whom all of English letters owes an unpayable debt.

Fashion Week goes for gold, silver and bronze
NEW YORK A little gold goes a long way. Same goes for silver and bronze.
No, this isn't an Olympic event - it's New York Fashion Week, where metallic fabrics shone on the runways.
"A little sparkle adds a lot to your wardrobe," Tracy Reese said backstage before her show on Monday. "You can wear it with jeans, and then for something dressier, it can be more formal."
Metallics were prominent in the collections of Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Rachel Roy, Luca Luca and Diane von Furstenberg, among others. Some added tarnish to the look, in keeping with the dark palette that has dominated in the week's previews of fall styles.
"Like my mother always said, all girls like a little dazzle," Reese said.
For a while, it seemed Carolina Herrera was trying to court a more hipster customer but she showed Monday that she is firmly committed to the rarified world in which she lives and works.
There was luxury like a Prussian-blue, mosaic-print jacket with fur lining and a mink collar, worn with camel-colored suede pants, and a sky-and-steel blue gown with beaded leaves and a swath of tulle around the neck.
There was a hint of a Russian influence to the overall look of the show, in her color choices, fur and style of embroidery. The daywear models also wore full-brim hats.
The Herrera lady - "woman" doesn't sound quite right - is a day-and-night dresser, not a day-to-night one. Look for her in a deep red wool sheath with asymmetrical vertical pleats for day, and a distinctly different black-and-metallic embossed organza gown with a hint of red framing the face in the evening.
It's the real world and now Zac Posen is living in it. The first model on his runway Monday morning wore a fully wearable, thoroughly sophisticated, portrait-neck cape in camel-colored felt, smart trousers and a creamy silk blouse.
In fact, the former flashy showman, who has recently chronicled in the press his struggles to lead a viable business, turned out a mostly understated, chic collection. It might not be full of head-turners, but the clothes aren't as polarizing as, say, his tornado-inspired gowns a few seasons ago.
As wild as it got here were some copper metallics, pink-dot prints and magenta-colored fur - a refreshing break from the largely neutral palette that has been dominating this round of previews for stylists, editors and retailers.
Posen partnered with violinist Miri Ben-Ari to provide a live, serene soundtrack. He also seemed to stick to a recent commitment to seek out older models - by industry standards that means 18, maybe 16 - to avoid those who are too thin. And he seemed to stick by it, hiring veterans Alek Wek, Hana Soukupova, Sessilee Lopez and Coco Rocha.
Rachel Roy's outfits that demanded the most attention featured slightly tarnished metallics, including a gold, crochet-style dress and jacket, a black sheath decorated with gold, almost-serpentine beads, and a high-shine patchwork gold skirt worn with a gold-lace tank.

Editor's NoteThe beautifully shot A STAR IS BORN recounts a tragic Hollywood tale of fame and misfortune. As young Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) rises to stardom, her husband, former leading man Norman Maine (Fredric March), is in the midst of a heartbreakingly rapid decline. Gaynor is both genuine and funny as the small-town girl who loses her one great love while she pursues another, and March is perfect as the passé alcoholic has-been. The film received six Academy Award nominations and won a special award for its color cinematography.

Her fantastical accumulations of detritus and throwaway goods can seem to pack more whimsy than wallop.
late 14c., "to gallop," possibly from Old North French *waloper (13c.), probably from Frankish *walalaupan "to run well" (cf. Old High German wela "well" and Old Low Franconian loupon "to run, leap"). The meaning "to thrash" (1820) and the noun meaning "heavy blow" (1823) may be separate developments, of imitative origin. Related: Walloped; walloping.

A rebuttal to Joni Edelman's piece on "Inside Out."
In a luxurious British retirement home for retired musicians, two questions circle each other. One involves former opera stars who were once married, long ago and briefly. The other is about a gala that may be able to raise enough money to keep the home from closing.
That second question must have been more convincing in the original stage version of "Quartet," written by Ronald Harwood, whose "The Dresser" remains one of the best plays and films ever written about the theater. You can sit in a theater and hope the retirement home can be saved. But when you look at this film, you see a stately manor surrounded by pastoral beauty. The location, Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire, near London, obviously suggests a multimillion-pound budget and isn't going to be saved by a gala — especially not after we see how small the well-dressed audience is. Their tickets must have been really expensive.
Such problems are probably irrelevant. Here is a sentimental, sweet entertainment full of legendary British stage, movie and opera stars. To call it predictable is being kind. But Dustin Hoffman, who chose the 1999 Harwood play for his first film as a director, knows that. (Hoffman started to direct "Straight Time" [1978] but bailed out after a few days and hired Ulu Grosbard to take over.) What's also evident is that he loves the stage, loves show business and has a heart full of affection for these elderly survivors. He also loves his location, here called Beecham House, and scenes are bridged with many shots of the elegantly landscaped grounds.
The central drama involves the retired singer Reggie Paget (Tom Courtenay, who starred in "The Dresser" and "Doctor Zhivago" all those years ago, and even before that the powerful 1962 drama "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner"). Settled and content, he is seeking a comfy senility in Beecham House, he says. Then another retired legend arrives. This is Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). We learn that she cheated on Reggie within hours of their marriage, and although he's always been in love with her, he has never forgiven her.
Their first meeting comes when Jean looks into a room as Reggie is discussing opera vs. hip-hop with some visiting kids. He dismisses her. But the chill between them thaws with astonishing rapidity all the way to a final scene of stupendously cornball romance. Along the way, much depends on whether Reggie and Jean will join two other residents (Pauline Collins and Billy Connolly) to perform the Act 3 quartet ("Bella figlia dell'amore") from Verdi's "Rigoletto." Jean refuses; she fears that her voice is gone. The movie shows the others going to great lengths to coax her into the gala.
At one point Cissy, the Collins character, visits Jean's room with flowers and a plea for her to change her mind. Jean orders her to leave with such vehemence that poor Cissy flees from the room, collapses on a landing and is next seen in a hospital bed with symptoms of memory loss. A stroke? Who knows? The movie's time span is so uncertain that Cissy recovers and is ready for "Rigoletto" in no time.
We understand that these characters made a lot of money in their lifetime and can afford this expensive retirement. But practical details at Beecham House are murky. There seem to be no elevators, and all the octogenarian residents, even Jean with her hip replacement, use the stairs. The staff consists of the supervisor and a few nurses. We understand why that would be enough for the stage, but Hoffman's film accepts all the limitations of a stage play and just doesn't care. It's curious, for example, that not a single one of the residents seems to have a single relative. No children. No grandchildren. Nobody.
This movie will no doubt be pitched to the same audiences that loved "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." It even brings Maggie Smith along. But it lacks that film's life, intelligence and spirit. It has a good heart. I'll give it that. Maybe what it needs is more exotic marigolds.

We noticed a new land-based big fig available to go along with the Tomorrowland and Fantasyland ones that are already out. This one is of Frontierland, and it's a really nice piece.
http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/FLBF01.jpg - Here's a picture of the entire figure.
http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/FLBF04.jpg - Here's a closer view of the Mark Twain.

section with the moose and the Indian village.
http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/FLBF03.jpg - Here's a closeup of the section with the funky/weird cactus.
http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/FLBF05.jpg - Here's a closeup of the building between the gate and the Twain. The husband thinks it's the Golden Horseshoe. I'm not convinced.
I really like that the Twain is there, and I like the representation of having the Big Thunder Railroad rocks there. The piece also contains a fountain device so that the Twain is sitting in water while the water is being circulated. I noticed that the paddlewheel on the Twain can spin, but since there was no water in the displays we saw, we're not sure if the circulating water itself spins the wheel.
I had never thought to notice that different big figs are done by different people. This piece was done by Larry Nicolai, who has also done the bronze land pieces. He is also credited on the Tomorrowland big fig, but I didn't get a chance to check the Fantasyland one, so I'm not sure about that.
The piece runs for about $195.

Cincinnati running back George Winn had certainly seen holes appear this season -- he just needed to know where the lane was opening. The Bearcats were engineering an impressive 226.8 yards per game on the ground heading into last Saturday, but the noon derby on their home turf saw Winn desperately looking for running room in his own backfield.
He didn't get to look for very long either, as he was quickly hounded by Rutgers' front seven after virtually every handoff. Cincinnati finished with 3.2 yards per attempt thanks to Scarlet Knights' defenders Khaseem Greene, Steve Beauharnais, Scott Vallone, and Jamil Merrell, who proved to be menacing run-stoppers in a virtuoso performance from both Rutgers' o-line and d-line.
Rutgers overpowered the line of scrimmage, and was able to maintain long, clock-eating drives, controlling the time of possession for 37:13 of the game's 60 minutes. Once again, it was Rutgers' playmakers on defense who set the tone.
In the first half, in fact, it was a transcendent play on defense that allowed Rutgers to flip possession -- a possession that enabled the Scarlet Knights to score the game's only touchdown.
Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Kay's interception swung 14 points, as cornerback Logan Ryan was able to take the ball away from the Bearcats inside the five-yard line. The Scarlet Knights' forced turnover saw them start their drive at their own 3-yard line, but they rode their running game out of danger.
Jawan Jamison had four carries for 37 yards in limited action due to an ankle injury suffered against Army, but fellow running back Savon Huggins was able to consistently emerge with steady gains in his first start, giving Rutgers two consecutive first downs and the ball on the Rutgers' 29. The subsequent play was an electrifying touchdown in a game that was short of offensive highlights.
Cincinnati was cheating on defense, with their defenders poised to attack and stop the run. Quarterback Gary Nova sold a play-action and delivered a tight spiral to wide receiver Mark Harrison, who shed the tackle and sprinted to paydirt, giving Rutgers a 7-0 lead.
Rutgers with a lead is like a boa constrictor – when ahead on their opponents, their defense will asphyxiate. Cincinnati got into the red zone three times on Saturday, but came away with only a meaningless field goal in the waning seconds. Rutgers has conceded 10 touchdowns in 27 red zone opportunities this season and, quite simply, when there is a shorter field to work with they do not budge.
Rutgers' second stop in the red zone came on a fourth-and-one at the Knights' 7-yard line in the opening minutes of the third quarter. Rutgers' bend-but-don't-break defense allows them to nullify a productive drive, as Winn was pushed back at the point of attack with a sea of white, red, and silver. Greene and Beauharnais led the assault, and the Bearcats would never seriously threaten again. (Greene is a runaway choice to repeat as Big East Defensive Player of the Year, and only cushioned his lead by providing 11 tackles, two sacks, and 3.5 TFL.)
Offensively, coach Kyle Flood allowed Huggins to run and run and run, with an astounding 41 carries totaling 179 yards. Huggins looked more fluid as the day progressed, and Rutgers' o-line sustained dominance in each quarter. The insurance field goal by Nick Borgese from 42 yards in the fourth quarter pushed the game to a two score contest, and removed any doubt that Rutgers would achieve its first 5-0 start in their Big East history.
The clear irony is that as Rutgers appeared to be finally vanquishing their Big East demons, news had begun to disseminate that a possible move to the Big Ten would include the Scarlet Knights and Maryland. And the team that now held sole position of first place in the Big East, that is 5-0 on the road this season, that had finally conquered the slog that a tough conference and out-of-conference schedule afflicts, did appropriately jump conferences 48 hours later.
This is a huge opportunity and achievement for Rutgers (more on this in Rutgers vs. Pittsburgh preview), and in a society that places importance on structural forces like conference alignment and BCS bowl games, Rutgers' victories on Saturday and Monday come out much bigger. Rutgers will now be classified as a Big Ten team, and that collectively changes the perception of how the public views the university athletically and academically.
A famous American historian, Gordon Wood, once wrote, "Ideas and language give meaning to our actions, and there is almost nothing that we humans do to which we do not attribute meaning." He is right, and the meaning of the current culture in college football is that if a football team does not play in a major conference, that team's merit and accomplishments are downgraded. Rutgers is on to its next phase.
