Product description
This professional reprint of the classic book was re-mastered to include charts relating to the dynasties of ancient Egypt, Up to date pictures of Kushite artifacts from museums around the world, as well as a list of the most prominent Cushite/ Kushite Pharoahs. The Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt, known as the Nubian Dynasty or the Kushite Empire, was the last dynasty of the Third Intermediate Period of Ancient Egypt. A map is included of their Nubian kingdom. The 25th dynasty was a line of rulers originating in the Nubian Kingdom of Kush and most saw Napata as their spiritual homeland. They reigned in part or all of Ancient Egypt from 760 BC to 656 BC. The dynasty began with Kashta's invasion of Upper Egypt and culminated in several years of unsuccessful war with the Mesopotamian based Assyrian Empire which was to result in the destruction of the Kushite Empire, the ejecting of the Nubians and conquest of Egypt by Assyria. The 25th's reunification of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and also Kush (Nubia) created the largest Egyptian empire since the New Kingdom. They ushered in an age of renaissance by reaffirming Ancient Egyptian religious traditions, temples, and artistic forms, while introducing some unique aspects of Kushite culture. It was during the 25th dynasty that the Nile valley saw the first widespread construction of pyramids (many in modern Sudan) since the Middle Kingdom. After the Assyrian kings Sargon II and Sennacherib defeated attempts by the Nubian kings to gain a foothold in the Near East, their successors Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal invaded Egypt and defeated and drove out the Nubians. They were succeeded by the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt, initially a puppet dynasty installed by and vassals of the Assyrians, the last native dynasty to rule Egypt before the Persian conquest.

When Capital One bought ING Direct last year in the first big bank acquisition since Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, the deal was subject to a high level of scrutiny. While regulators poured over the facts and figures, what they really wanted to know was could Capital One be trusted?
"We had hearings with the [Federal Reserve] in three different cities. Numerous nonprofits testified on our behalf about our corporate character," said Carolyn Berkowitz, Managing Vice President for Capital One Bank and President of the Capital One Foundation. "They all said, '…this is a company that's going to add to our community, not detract from it…' That kind of commitment doesn't come from just writing a check."
Milton Friedman famously said, "the business of business is business." Corporate responsibility skeptics often ape Friedman, asking how these programs impact the bottom line. But for most publicly traded firms, over 80% of their market value – the real test of shareholder value – lies on the balance sheet in good will and brand. Capital One's good will, built through skills-based volunteering, added to its brand value and its book value because it helped ensure the purchase of ING Direct.
Although Capital One's skills-based volunteering program is more than ten years old, in 2008 the company expanded and restructured it to make it a cornerstone of their brand. At its founding, Capital One was "a company that was a new idea, knocking down the price of credit. That was a mission unto itself," said Berkowitz. "For our associates, taking on pro bono is like a new mission. Having the opportunity to use their very honed skills, taking them into the community and back to the company is a reward for our people and has a big impact on our ability to grow."
Capital One joined 365 of America's largest companies and well-known brands in taking the A Billion + Changepledge to "donate their best talent to tackle tough problems in their communities and around the world." The pledge inspired the donation of the equivalent of $1.998 billion of volunteer time and the organization wants to get to 500 participating firms by this summer (Source: Billion + Change). But skills-based volunteering isn't an easy story to tell. Read the rest of this entry »

help nvidia.ko weirddd
I've been trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1.run for at least 2 weeks, i just cant, nobody could help me, so i hope you will be "the" forum
here i go:
mi problem is all about this:
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most
frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs
from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as
rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from
obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s).
Please see the log entries 'Kernel module load error' and 'Kernel
messages' at the end of the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for
more information.
-> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko':
-1 No such device
first of all, i have to tell you i¡ve read all forums you can imagine, including this one, and i've done millions of things
i know all about xorg.conf, "glx", "#dri", etc, etc
i used to have the latest K7 kernels
i now have the latest 386 kernels (thought the problem was the K7 kernel, but it wasnt)
o obviously have the same gcc version, although i tried using gcc 3.4 and didnt work either..
the only way i can have my graphics is using "nv" (not "nvidia")
my Geforce 4 mx400 agp 8x is not a LEGACY card
I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 dapper drake
i even tried ENVY (see google), which is a scrip that automaticly installs everything you need in order to have your video card working properly, but it failed again (at nvidia.ko)
i mailed the guy who wrote the script and he couldnt help me
i dont know what else to do, i usually try to solve my problems on my own but this time i just couldnt, hope you can help me

Bryce Harper to be called up
Updated: April 27, 2012, 7:47 PM ETBy Tristan H. Cockcroft | ESPN.com
Start up the hype machine.
Bryce Harper -- the No. 1 pick in the 2010 amateur draft, Keith Law's No. 2 prospect overall this preseason and one of the most anticipated prospects of the past quarter-century -- will be promoted by the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He'll take the roster spot of Ryan Zimmerman, who is headed to the disabled list.
Harper's promotion makes sense for two reasons: First, with Zimmerman sidelined, the Nationals are without their usual ...

Rachel Rose Reid
A former UK Young Storyteller of the Year, Rachel Rose Reid is making a name for herself in the ancient art of storytelling. In her self-penned show, I'm Hans Christian, she entwined modern tales of love that go awry with the unglossed fairy tales and unfulfilled sexual longings of Hans Christian Andersen, the 19th-century Danish author of more than 200 stories.
Comedian Dan Antopolski has gone from most to least humorous in just 12 months.
In 2009 the Petah Tikvah-born stand-up won the Dave trophy for the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.
But this year he was awarded the honour of having the "worst joke" of the festival.
His gag went: "How many Spaniards does it take to change a lightbulb? Juan."
It was not deemed as humorous as his previous effort, which went: "Hedgehogs - why can't they just share the hedge?"
Simon Brodkin inhabits his feral comic creation Lee Nelson so completely that it's hard to imagine the north Londoner is anyone other than the sniggeringly amoral south London geezer whose council estate is his universe.
An animated new stand-up from Edgware, Lee Kern gave his Edinburgh debut show as much welly as he could, despite a thin crowd. It was clearly tough-going, and plenty of his jokes fell flat in an unpolished act, but there was passion and perseverance in abundance and an uncompromising edge that one felt would benefit from more direction.
A shaven-headed Cambridge graduate, who also works as a film-maker, Kern, 31, has an anecdotal, banterish, in-your-face approach that would probably work better in a pub than the more formal setting he found himself in.
Anthony Horowitz's dark comedy about survival is set during a dress rehearsal of "The Importance of Being Earnest". The cast are six young offenders and the play-within-a-play, set in an institution, explores whether they are beyond salvation.
It is a clever conceit to have characters conventionally associated with low culture analysing a work of high culture, whose lavish setting could not be more at odds with their own.
The Los Angeles comedian Phil Burgers' stage persona is Dr Brown, and in this off-the-wall act he chucks cornflakes and the contents of a jar of olives at the audience, tries to make out with a girl in the front row and then with a guy in the second, and gets a macho punter to join him on stage - ostensibly as a lifeguard - to rub sun oil over his body as he heads for an imaginary beach, sporting just trunks, goggles and a swimming hat.
Is there an Andy Zaltzman Appreciation Society? There should be, for the man who co-wrote and starred in the BBC Radio 4 comedy sketch show "Political Animal" is a satiremeister, or would be if there were such a creature. And in his colourful world, there probably is.
Looking and sounding more than ever like a mad professor of comedy, Zaltzman puts the S into surreal, the V into vivacious and the sword into Silvio Berlusconi - "a man who has been involved in more scandals than a dyslexic shoe-shop owner".
The Los Angeles-based thirtysomething Jewish actors Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo lay it on thick as the fiftysomething American Jewish mothers Ronna Glickman and Beverly Kahn, who punt their self-help book, "You'll Do A Little Better Next Time: a guide to marriage and re-marriage for Jewish singles", in a chat show.
Variously repeating, interrupting and scoring points off one another, eating copiously and copiously talking about eating, the heavily made-up duo are nothing if not self-indulgent.
I arrived a few minutes late for this show in the poorly signposted Pleasance Hut, but - having been warmly welcomed by Jacob Edwards on stage - was quickly transported into the zany otherworld he and fellow producer/comedian Phil Gilbert inhabit as he bent down on one knee, lifted up his friend's shirt, gripped the top of his trousers and blew several lengthy raspberries on to his stomach. "We hate that," he explained, helpfully.
"This show is a lot less Jewy than last year's," says Josh Howie, referring to his 2008 Edinburgh run, "Chosen".
"I made a vow to my agent that being Jewish is no longer going to be my schtick."
So far, so ironic. Howie's mother is the PR guru Lynne Franks, Jennifer Saunders' inspiration for her "Absolutely Fabulous" character Eddie; and Franks' 87-year-old mother, Angela Franks, with whom Howie lived for the past four years in Arnos Grove (latterly with his wife, Monique) is the inspiration for his painstakingly crafted, densely packed new show.

What Kind Of Person Tortures Another Human Being?
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Thursday) | Listen to this entire show:
Good afternoon, welcome to Radioactivity. Iâm Rob Lorei. In a moment weâll hear from an author who is an expert on torture.
Through his reporting and writing, author John Conroy examines how ordinary people put into extraordinary circumstances can become torturers or silent witnesses to torture. He has explored the topic in two books and numerous articles. His latest work, a two-act play based on the Chicago police torture scandal he uncovered, was recently written about in the New York Times.
Conroy will give a talk called âHow to Make a Torturer,â this coming Monday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. at USF St. Petersburg.
Event Location: Steidinger Auditorium at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, 100 8th Ave SE. For more information, call 873-4872.
John Conroy is best known for his two books (Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People: The Dynamics of Torture and Belfast Diary: War as a Way of Life) and for his extensive and ground-breaking coverage of the Chicago police torture scandal, which involved more than 100 victims. Conroyâs articles were cited in cases argued before the Illinois Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals and ultimately helped to free four men who had been resident on death row in Illinois.comments powered by Disqus

Three-year-old challengers at Belmont Park include Ready's Image, Halo Najib and Fidelio.
Lucky Island showed his greed for speed in the $161,000 Tom Fool Handicap (gr. II), grabbing the lead after bursting out of the starting gate from the one hole and rolling to a 4 1/4 length victory, without a serious challenge, July 4 at Belmont Park in New York.
Front-running Thorn Song slammed the door on prohibitive choice Einstein in the stretch and held on for a one-length victory in the $213,250 Firecracker Handicap (gr. IIT) over a yielding Churchill Downs turf course July 4.
Joseph V. Fields Jr.'s homebred mare Any Limit hit the winner's circle for the first time in nearly 17 months July 4 at Belmont, getting the early jump on six rivals, then holding off Wild Gams in a determined stretch drive to narrowly win the $150,000 First Flight Handicap (gr. II).
The 8-year-old stayer Silverfoot found a nice spot for his first win in more than two years, rallying along the hedge to post a mild surprise in the $175,000 Stars and Stripes Turf Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Arlington Park July 4.
Winning for the fourth time this season and collecting his third graded victory, Zayat Stables' J Be K stamped himself as one of the legitimate leaders of the sprint division, putting on a dominating performance in the $150,000 Jersey Shore Stakes (gr. III) July 4 at Monmouth Park.
Graded stakes winners Brownie Points, Bayou's Lassie, and Meribel headline a field of 10 entered for the $150,000-added Locust Grove Handicap (gr. IIIT), a one-mile event turf event for fillies and mares July 6, the closing day of the 52-day spring meet at Churchill Downs.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/30/13
Amath M'Baye and Steven Pledger both scored 20 points and Oklahoma held on for a 74-71 victory at Baylor on Wednesday night to tie the Bears for second place in the Big 12. Baylor (14-6, 5-2 Big 12) trailed by 16 in the second half before twice cutting the deficit to one. Sooners freshman guard Buddy Hield spun and drove for a bank shot with 1:06 left, and Pledger made two free throws with 8.6 seconds left. Romero Osby added 11 points for Oklahoma (14-5, 5-2). Big 12 scoring leader Pierre Jackson had 22 points for Baylor, but missed a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left. Brady Heslip grabbed the rebound and stepped back, but his shot rattled off the rim as time ran out, though his foot might have been on the line anyway. Isaiah Austin, Baylor's 7-foot-1 freshman, had 17 points and 21 rebounds.

Midfoot Strike
View Single Post
Craig Loizides
Join Date: Mar 2008

It's the calf muscle that keeps the ankle restricted to a shorter ROM. Try standing on 1 leg with your your knee bent forward a little. Your calf is definitely being used. If you relax it you'll quickly drop (and possibly hurt your achilles so be careful). A better example might be doing a vertical leap. At the start while you're dipping the calf is working eccentrically.
I'm not recommending midfoot over ball of foot. I just think too much is made of staying on the ball of your foot. I think keeping your foot dorsiflexed makes a better cue for most people than staying off your heels. Your weight should always be mostly on the ball of your foot though even if the heel is on the ground. The problem comes when your weight lands on the heel which is followed by the foot extending and slapping the ground. If you're wearing regular running shoes the heel should probably be touching the ground. I think even the pose site says that you're over extending the ankle if your heel doesn't touch the ground in normal running shoes.

Publisher's Description
Grace is the heart of God to do you good when you deserve it least. But do we really know how deeply we don't deserve it? Only God can reveal that to us. He does it through the Bible. And when he does, the wonders of his grace explode with brightness as never before. These Five Points are about how Christians come into being, and how we are kept forever. It reaches back into times past when we were freely chosen. It reaches forward into the future when we will be safe and happy forever. It reaches down into the mysteries of the work of Christ, purchasing the gift of faith for all God's children. And it reaches into the human soul, glimpsing the mysteries of the Spirit's work as he conquers all our rebellion and makes us willing captives of King Jesus.
Piper believes that our experience of grace grows with our grasp of God's gracious work. He invites us to come with him on this quest.

Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan
Nothing has changed my perspective and made more sense of God, life, and the world than the doctrines of grace. John Piper makes a complex theology understandable. Five Points will assist you to see how big and good our gracious God actually is.
-Darrin Patrick,
Lead Pastor, The Journey, St. Louis, Missouri
Imagine being able to chat over a meal with John Piper about the five points of Calvinism. That's pretty much what you get in this book: a clear statement of these life-changing truths delivered with warm pastoral sensitivity in a conversational style. You won't find yourself being browbeaten. Instead, you'll find yourself invited to marvel at God's wonderful grace. The only thing missing is the meal.

David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5A clear and concise introduction to CalvinismJune 16, 2014David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5No greater need exists within today's church than for its rediscovery of the reformed doctrines of grace. And while that subject can be extensive and its pursuit intensive, its most fundamental tenets can be reduced to what are frequently referred to as "the five points of Calvinism." The "TULIP" acronym (total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints) elicits emotional responses on both sides of the soteriological aisle, frequently producing mischaracterizations and faulty understanding. In his small (94 pages) but helpful book, John Piper cuts to the chase and lays out a clear presentation of "The Five Points." He begins with a brief historical overview, proceeds to explain them concisely, and concludes with his testimony and that of others who have blazed the trail of Calvinism before him. This small volume would be useful as introduction to the subject for those just beginning to consider it, as well as brief rebuttal to those who oppose it. It also would serve as a helpful launch pad for small groups wishing to discuss the doctrines the grace. As with all of his writings, Piper is thorough without being needlessly verbose. The book's brevity is its strength. Those wishing to dig deeper will be motivated to do so by first reading this introduction.

The chapter on limited atonement is particularly helpful. I highly recommend it for any Christian but particularly those in positions of spiritual leadership in the local church.

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,
Ready to move to 26695 Trophy Lane, Kingston, WA?
We are selling our home and equestrian farm of fourteen years with Better Homes and Gardens. I was a master gardener who loved to landscape and grow unique flowers in my garden, most of the flowers, trees, bushes I planted enticed the wildlife to come in. Golden Finches, Owls, Blue Jays, Wood Peckers, squirrels, chipmunks and even baby wild rabbits. Oh how I loved the wild life and the quiet sincerely a total oasis. This was our home and a gathering place of family, friends, and beautiful memories as this home was a diamond in the rough when purchased in 2001. We worked very hard on this home to turn it into the beautiful turn-key equestrian farm it is today, every year was a new project. Now that it is finished we have moved onto a larger farm as we have eight equine now, five acres is not big enough. The Trophy lane home was constantly full of family, friends gathering with the beautiful gardens, equestrian and car, r.v., toy lover's dream, not to mention your own private camp fire for the kids and family camping fun without camping. Most of the plants were purchased with great thought and detail as I loved to take classes and purchase plants from Heronswood nursery in Hansville, WA just minutes from this home. This nursery was one of (select) Martha Stewarts favorite places to go and of course mine. Flowers bloom ten months out of the year, most came from Heronswood nursery in Hansville. Martha Stewart would fly in her private helicopter to see these world-wide exotic plants at Heronswood's. I loved going to this nursery as it was always an amazing adventure to plant a new plant. Today Heronswood is owned by the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe I believe they have weddings here and tours still as it is a magnificent place.
Interested in purchasing this farm/home on five acres? Select Better Homes and Gardens for a private showing as this farm is still for sale.
Hubby Scott ensured the generator was wired to run the refrigerator, t.v,, computer, lights, propane fireplace(s) fan so we never suffered one second when the power went out. The living quarters above the carriage home has two professional series propane fireplaces with serious fans to blow the heat, much cheaper than electricity. The video camera's we installed in the barns and around the house send an alert to our smart phone whenever anyone comes on the property, peace of mind. My horse and donkeys are part of our family so this was my solution to taking a vacation, cameras! When we left to Hawaii or out-of-state I never had to worry about the caretaker feeding our animals. Each time the caretaker/house sitter came in I received a text with video so I could rest and know my animals were being taken care of. These video cameras are on our new farm too in Sequim, WA. It is much cheaper to pay a person to house sit and feed all of your animals than pay to stay at a boarding facility or doggie daycare and my animals were much more relaxed to stay home. Video surveillance provides me peace of mind to take a vacation and if I needed to run errands I always could check and see live how my equine were doing. When I planned the gardens and carved each one out I also placed each water faucet everywhere you need to water without hurting your back dragging a hose. If you do not want to maintain the perennials, lilacs, roses, rhodies, hydrangeas, peonies, and more you can hire a professional landscapers to manage for you as we did after the semi-truck accident.
Income Potential
The Trophy lane home is unique as it is permitted for four bedrooms and has all the plumbing installed for four bedrooms. Easily convert the first garage into a studio apartment and rent it out is one option.
Second option of income potential is; Boarding horses! If you do not want horses you can easily get boarders to pay you for the use of the pasture, stalls (two twelve by sixteen) with tall roofs to let the heat out and not worry about your beloved equestrian hitting his/her head on the roof or light socket. Covered space for grooming, saddling, farrier, dentist as electricity and water is all ready for grooming and vet at the stalls. Owning horses is a luxury item and so is having six garages and three fireplaces.
The Trophy lane equestrian farm is 100% private and gated so no one can come on your farm without your permission, a luxury item in these days of stress. The six garages are wonderful as you can purchase your hay once a year and store all your hay in a dry storage space without having to keep buying and introducing new hay to your horse. Additionally the carriage home has another space under the 1560 square foot deck to store things and a gravelled place to store a tall motor home or tall 5th wheel, this makes eight parking stalls.
Every window in the front of this carriage home has a view of your horses, donkeys or mules and your private arena built to never flood by Painted Valley, Poulsbo, WA with drains. I used this arena to jump and train and it was wonderful as I had total privacy.
Electric, propane fireplaces, radiant floor heating on a timer in the master on-suite with new tile and all new bathroom accessories. What more can you want?
Remodeled in 2013
New kitchen, stainless steel sink, Electrolux regrigerator, Elextrolux dishwasher, granite slabs, Jen-air professional series gas stove, oven, new porcelane tile floors. New carpet, gently used, New bathroom master, double sinks, glass beautiful door shower, radiant floor heat on timer and a phone in the master bath. Walk-in closet. Second bath, new cast iron tub, new vanities just like master, new toilets in both bathrooms, new procelean tile floors. All the doors are custom hand-stained and painted by a professional staining company. Anderson Windows in the kitchen and master bedroom. Slider to the deck from the master is setup for the hot-tub. Sorry I took my hot-tub as I need it. New water heater 2013 too!
The Trophy lane home has a view out of every one of the large front windows and your 1560 square foot deck of your horse, outdoor arena, stalls and paddock not to mention the extensive gardens.
Interested in purchasing this farm/home on five acres? Select Better Homes and Gardens for a private showing as this farm is still for sale.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Midsummer festival in Cockermouth scaled back
Last updated at 11:50, Friday, 23 November 2012
Cockermouth's Midsummer Festival will be scaled back to a single weekend because fewer volunteers are available to organise events.
The change also avoids a clash of dates with the popular Whitehaven Maritime Festival which has moved to the midsummer weekend.
Organisers have decided to incorporate the best elements of last year's festival into a single weekend.
The festival will take place between May 31 and June 2.
Around 15 volunteers were responsible for the event with further people volunteering and stewarding throughout the week.
However, five of those have had to step down because of other commitments.
Gilli Goodfellow, of the festival committee, said: "It is a lot of work for the organising committee and some people just did not have the time.
"However, we have got the best elements of last year and we are just hoping for good weather but we have indoor venues in the event of any rain-offs.
"This is very much a stop-gap year and we will see how well it goes before deciding how to move forward."
The United Reformed Church, Christ Church and the Kirkgate Centre will be used as indoor venues.
Cockermouth Live!, featuring live acts, will be part of the festival and there will be a midsummer picnic, performances from local musicians, shows for children, a comedy night and a dance gig.
A slideshow of old Cockermouth will be held earlier in the year to raise funds.
Last year's festival ran from June 15 to June 23 and incorporated the annual town carnival and Olympic torch visit.

It's Black Friday, so I know you're all mostly concerned with taking advantage of various sales, but since it's also the end of November, I wanted to bring some new Golden Globe predictions to you as well. We've been doing these for a while now, but this represents likelythe final one I'll be doing before the actual nominations are announced in about two weeks on December 11th (unless I preview the announcement with a final set of predictions…we'll see). As such, I'm hoping to really nail them this time around, and try to figure out how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association might go with their nods. The HFPA can go in some odd directions too, so these noms might even be a little more Oscar friendly than they wind up being. We'll see though.
The biggest addition this time around is accounting for Selma in the race. I still had it shut out last time around, and while I don't necessarily think it's going to dominate the Globes, I do think a shut out isn't going to happen. I also had to try to figure out what to do with Unbroken, which I don't see until Monday. As such, I left it alone for the most part. If I do indeed do one last update to these predictions, it'll be due at least in part to a need to account for the film, one way or another. Perhaps I'll need to predict it for some wins? Perhaps I'll need to drop it completely? Somewhere in between? I'll find out at the beginning of next week and report in on the film itself, but if I do update Globe predictions, reflections on that movie will be involved for sure.
Here now though, without any further delay on my part (since as always we know that you're really here just to see what I have below in each of the categories), are a brand spanking new set of Golden Globe nomination predictions to pour over. Behold:
Best Picture (Drama)
1. The Imitation Game
2. Selma
3. Boyhood
4. Gone Girl
5. Unbroken
If there's a sixth: Interstellar
Best Picture (Comedy or Musical)
1. Into the Woods
2. Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
3. Whiplash
4. Begin Again
5. St. Vincent
If there's a sixth: The Grand Budapest Hotel
Best Actor (Drama)
1. Benedict Cumberbatch – The Imitation Game
2. Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything
3. David Oyelowo – Selma
4. Steve Carell – Foxcatcher
5. Timothy Spall – Mr. Turner

Golden Globe predictions for November

We've been doing these for a while now, but this represents likelythe final one I'll be doing before the actual nominations are announced in about two weeks on December 11th (unless I preview the announcement with a final set of predictions…we'll see).

Oscar Isaac – The biggest snubs from this week's Spirit Award nominations
First of all, Happy Turkey Day to you all! With a Thanksgiving mention out of the way, let's talk movies. Whenever there is a big precursor announcement that isn't just a winners list, there's going to be some glaring omissions. Such was the case with the 30th annual Independent Spirit Awards, which made some excellent picks but also some head scratchers as well. That's always the name of the game, but this year there especially was some unexpected shut outs. As such, I'm going to be running down ten of the most egregious ones that I noticed. A few will be personal surprises, but the others will be ones that were clearly noticed by others. The Spirit Awards do a solid job, but like any other precursor, they're far from perfect.
Here now are the ten biggest snubs from the Spirit Award nominations:
1. Oscar Isaac for A Most Violent Year – Voters apparently liked the film, but they didn't like what I felt was the best part in Isaac's performance. Strange, to say the least. Isaac is the lead and a huge reason why the movie works. His co-star Jessica Chastain was cited, but not him. For me, it was the biggest omission and one of the bigger head scratchers as well. It just makes no sense.
2. The Skeleton Twins – If ever there was an under the radar title in need of a Spirit boost, it's this one. Not just the film itself, but even more so the lead performances of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, both of whom could have at least stayed in the Oscar conversation had they turned a nomination into a surprise win. That didn't happen though, so this contender is now pretty much DOA.
3. Bill Murray in St. Vincent – I'm sure The Weinstein Company was hoping that Murray popped up here in order to further their Oscar hopes for him. Considering all of the frontrunners are first time nominees (if they even get nominated), had Murray gotten nominated here and won, that could have helped fuel a potential Golden Globe win for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical, which in turn would have made him a likely Oscar nominee. That narrative is gone now though, so it's the Globes or bust for Murray.
4. The Imitation Game – Easily the most surprising shut out, TWC saw their first chink in the armor for this big time […]
Predictions for the 2015 Spirit Awards
One of the most interesting precursors to me is always the Independent Spirit Awards. They don't always cite the same things that the Academy does, so it's a chance to see smaller and more eclectic fare given a moment in the sun. Even though the Spirit Award have matched up with Oscar more often in the recent past than was usual, it's still a place where you can see honors for films that wouldn't otherwise have a chance. Personally, that's one of the my favorite things about certain precursors, the fact that they bestow citations on worthy cinema that could have been ignored entirely.
Before I give you my shot in the dark predictions for this year's Spirit Awards (which will announce their nominees in under two weeks…specifically on November 25th), I just wanted to further my point about the choices made by this group. Last year for example, while they awarded the likes of 12 Years a Slave, Blue Jasmine, Dallas Buyers Club, and Nebraska, they also had room to give prizes to Blue is the Warmest Color and Short Term 12 as well. Sure, Cate Blanchett, Jared Leto, Matthew McConaughey, and Lupita Nyong'o won their acting prizes just like with the Academy, but the nominees included the likes of Julie Delpy, Melonie Diaz, Will Forte, Oscar Isaac, Michael B. Jordan, Brie Larson, and Shailene Woodley. The winners may tend to match up with what Oscar voters cite, but many of the nominees are far more eclectic, which is always a good thing in my book.
Anywho, here are the best guesses I have for who and what might be cited at this year's Independent Spirit Awards, with names and titles done alphabetically for now. When the nominations are officially announced and the actual awards show comes in February, I'll get into potential winners. For now though, behold:
Best Feature
A Most Violent Year
Best Director
J.C. Chandor – A Most Violent Year
Damien Chazelle – Whiplash
Jonathan Glazer – Under the Skin
Alejandro González Iñárritu – Birdman
Richard Linklater – Boyhood

Golden Globe predictions for October
With the month of October almost complete and the precursor season having officially kicked off yesterday morning with the Gotham Award nominations (I'll be writing about that on Monday or Tuesday as part of something more substantial about precursors), now's a perfect time for my monthly set of Golden Globe predictions. Some might consider it a bit too early still, but not me. It's time. Especially considering some of the embargoed things I've seen this month (including one big one I can't talk about yet), it's high time to discuss the Globes again.
To reiterate the basics to you all one more time, the biggest difference that you'll see here between the Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is that they tend to go for the bigger names or the bigger productions, as well as more European fare at times. So yes, some films that do better here might not do quite as well with Oscar. Certain titles will do about the same with both groups, like potentially Angelina Jolie's Unbroken, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, or Morten Tyldum's The Imitation Game. You also still might lose certain indie players here, as you'll see evidenced by much smaller nomination totals (or even shutouts) for Richard Linklater's Boyhood (though that one can go either way considering it's potentially a frontrunner for Best Picture), just as one example, though others could be movies like J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year. On the flip side though, the inclusion of comedies and musicals allows longer shot work like John Carney's Begin Again, Damien Chazelle's Whiplash, Rob Marshall's Into the Woods, and Theodore Melfi's St. Vincent to have a shot at not just contention for nods, but actual noms, as well as wins. Nominations that would have been wishful thinking with the Academy and AMPAS (or just harder to come by) are very much in play with the categories that the HFPA deals in. That's just the nature of the beast here folks.
Here now though, without any further delay on my part (since we all know that you're really here just to see what I have below in each category), are a brand spanking new set of Golden Globe predictions. Behold:
Best Picture (Drama)
1. The Imitation Game
2. Interstellar

Re-ranking the contenders in Best Actress
As I've been mentioning over the last few weeks or so, with the festival season well underway and just about all of the major contenders for the Academy Awards having screened or about to screen, now seems like as good a time as any to move forward and take a look at the big eight categories to see what's what in an updated/more expanded fashion. I did this with the major categories a couple of months back, but that was when almost everything was still speculation. We have some facts to go on now, so while much of this is still just an educated guess, I'm not completely relying on overt hunches this time around. It's more of an even mix, depending on the film/director/performer in question, of course. Today I'm turning my attention once again to the Best Actress field, which is another category that won't necessarily match up with Best Picture in any major way, but likely won't be too far off either. Read on to see what I mean for this one…
One special note about Best Actress this year is that, on the flip side to best Actor, it's a fairly barren race. Each of the ten women that I have cited as the ones with the best chance at a nomination have some chance at a nod, but only a few of them can realistically win. It's going to be interesting to see if any surprise noms wind up shaking up this category when all is said and done…
Here are the ten ladies that I have in play for Best Actress currently, with the top five cracking the lineup at this point and time:
1. Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) – If you ask a dozen pundits who the frontrunner is in Best Actress, you'll probably get one of about five answers (hint, my top five), but if you ask me, I think this could turn into a walk for Jones. It's just a hunch, but Oscar loves their supportive wives, something this performance apparently does incredibly well. Jones in the sweet spot of the age the Academy enjoys honoring, so that doesn't hurt too. We have a long way to go before anyone in this category starts to separate themselves from the pack, but at this juncture, I'm backing Jones ever so slightly.
2. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) – Now that folks are able to see […]
Felicity Jones: Oscar newbies hoping for a first citation this year
Much like I took a look yesterday at veterans in contention for Oscar love the year, today I'm going to be turning my attention to the newbies who hope to receive some awards love. As I mentioned in the last piece, this is leading up to me doing a re-ranking of the contenders in all of the major categories beginning next week, but right now it's just going to be a preview of which rookies to the Oscar season are gearing up to hopefully make their big debuts on the awards circuit. Some are even in a position to win Academy Awards.
First up is Best Actor. In this race, the highest profile would be first time nominee would be either Steve Carell for Foxcatcher or Michael Keaton for Birdman. They've been frontrunners to many for basically this entire season. A tiny level down are more recent additions to the first timer's party in Benedict Cumberbatch for The Imitation Game and Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything. Other contenders here with a strong chance include Oscar Isaac for A Most Violent Year, Jack O'Connell for Unbroken, David Oyelowo for Selma, Timothy Spall for Mr. Turner, and Channing Tatum for Foxcatcher. Rounding out the list, we have the likes of Gael Garcia Bernal for Rosewater, Ellar Coltrane for Boyhood, John Cusack for Love and Mercy, Richard Gere for Time Out of Mind, Bill Hader for The Skeleton Twins, and Miles Teller for Whiplash. Much like with the veterans, it's going to be rough seeing how many worthy contenders don't crack the lineup. This category is absolutely stacked.
Over in Best Actress, there are two major first timers right at the top of the list. They are Felicity Jones for The Theory of Everything and Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl. They both represent major threats in this category, with Scarlett Johansson for Under the Skin and Shailene Woodley for The Fault in Our Stars one level down. Also hovering around this category are Rosemarie DeWitt for Men Women & Children, Anne Dorval for Mommy, Mia Wasikowska for Tracks, and Kristen Wiig for The Skeleton Twins. The majority of the women in the ultimate Best Actress lineup this year will be vets, but the winner could very well turn out to be a first time nominee.
With the Best Supporting Actor contenders, the field is potentially being led by a first timer, with J.K. Simmons […]
Kevin Smith's "Tusk": Ten Films to look forward to in September
Believe it or not, we're now into the month of September, which is insane if you ask me. I'll be updating my Oscar predictions later on this week, but right now, I'm going to preview the films of the month ahead. There's no shortage of interesting flicks hitting screens, so we're entering the start of the very best season for cinema. Tis the season for high quality movies, with the upcoming New York Film Festival really kicking off Oscar season for me. That's not to say that the next week or two won't have plenty to talk about, but once we're in October it's really the heat of the moment then, as it were. Even so, the whole month of September has plenty to be excited about, I assure you of that much. There's no shortage of quality coming our way, so be excited folks.
Below you'll see a total of ten titles (plus a pair of honorable mentions) that I feel represent the best of the month. I've seen a handful of the films to be discussed, so I can vouch for those personally. The rest? Well, I'll be reporting in on them real soon. In the meantime, here you go:
10. The Guest – A throwback thriller, I saw this film from up and coming genre filmmaker Adam Wingard (who blew me away with You're Next last year) recently and liked it a lot. It feels like a B movie from the 1980's, a slow burn through and through. If you like the sort of thing where you laugh and cringe in equal measure, this one will be for you. It hits on the 17th.
9. The Zero Theorem – Any new work from filmmaker Terry Gilliam is worth taking note of. Even if this isn't my favorite one of his (I'm currently embargoed from saying too much more), it's far from boring and has a top notch cast (led by Christoph Waltz). This one comes out on the 19th and likely will divide audiences. Something tells me that Gilliam wouldn't have it any other way though…
8. Two Night Stand – Another movie I've already seen, this romantic comedy is actually a lot better than the ads would lead you to believe. The flick is really charming, with winning turns from Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton. Ignore the mediocre trailer and trust me here when I say this is rather good. […]
The Best of the first two thirds of 2014
Can you believe that it's the end of August already? Yes, by the time this weekend comes to a close, it'll be September and two thirds of the year will be gone. As such, I figured I would do something you won't see many other places…an article on the best of the first two thirds of 2014. Eight months have passed in the year and we've only got the top tier Oscar contenders left to see, so it felt natural to run down what's been top drawer from the rest of the bunch. I'll be giving you a look at what my current top ten of the year so far looks like, as well as what my own personal awards ballot at this juncture would look like. Hopefully it's something fun that you enjoy reading…I know it's the sort of thing that I enjoy writing!
As a note, I've included everything I've seen so far in 2014 (something approaching 200 films), regardless of if it's been released yet. There's one exception to that which I explain below, but aside from that it's all there for you to see in black and white.
The Top Ten of the Year So Far:
10. The Lego Movie – Up until the third act reveal, I was wondering why this animated film was as beloved as it was. Then, I understood why, and this became so much more than a high energy bit of fun. This is clearly the frontrunner for Best Animated Feature, and it deserves every single award it's likely to receive.
9. Begin Again – Though not quite as phenomenal as Once, filmmaker John Carney has another winner here in this musical dramedy. Both Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo are excellent, plus there's once again tremendous music on display. I've praised this one a lot before, but it's a winner…plain and simple.
8. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby – I'm combining all three versions of this project here (Him, Her, and Them), one that I'm going to be talking about more soon, in order to praise how unique it is. Filmmaker Ned Benson, along with leads Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy have partnered on a love story that's unlike any other. Stay tuned for more on this movie, but trust me when I say that it's something to be on the lookout for.
7. Chef – An incredibly pleasing little gem from Jon Favreau, it's quickly become […]
"How to Train Your Dragon 2": What's Up with the Awards Race
Directed by: Dean DeBlois
Written by: Dean DeBlois
Main Cast: Voices of Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Djimon Hounsou, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and others
Past Oscar relations: The first film in the franchise was nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score
Here now we have a brand new article in this series of mine on 2015 contenders hoping to compete for some sort of Oscar attention at the upcoming 2015 ceremony. Next up for us is the sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2, which looks to please audiences as much as the first one did. From there, it's potentially on to Oscar contention!
This is the second film in a now franchise, based on a highly popular series of books. How to Train Your Dragon 2 features a top notch voice cast, with folks such as Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Djimon Hounsou, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and many others lending their talents to the movie. All signs point to this being a big success and a likely player in the Best Animated Feature field. Can it go further though?
What this flick has going in its favor is highly positive reviews and a built in audience that tried to make the last one an awards contender. The early word says that this one is just as good, if not a bit better, than the first How to Train Your Dragon, which is no small achievement. This makes it more or less a surefire nominee in Best Animated Feature and perhaps even the frontrunner right now (give or take how The Lego Movie ages over the course of the rest of the season). Only halfway through the year, that's a a pretty solid spot to be in.
Working against How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the fact that animation has had a tougher time of late. Since the sliding scale in Best Picture has been implemented, no cartoon has gotten into the major categories, so it's possible that the time for that sort of a citation has come and gone. If Frozen couldn't do it last year, one has to think that this year we won't see anything from the animated category particularly break through. It's not impossible, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.
So, can this be a player at all? I'd say […]
Rihanna, Adele make 'Time's' 100 Most Influential list
HollywoodNews.com: 'Time' magazine has released their list of the 100 Most Influential people and some major Hollywood stars are included on this one.
Both Rihanna and Adele made the list as female singers making music the way they want it done, states RadarOnline.com. But women in other industries also showed up strong on the list as Kristen Wiig and Chelsea Handler were also on it.
And the list would not be complete without Kate and Pippa Middleton on it as they have captured plenty of attention in the last year.
Are you surprised by anyone on the list?

Profiler: Season 03 (1998)
As Season Three of the paranormal crime drama Profiler gets under way, a trap set by psychic forensic specialist Sam Waters (Ally Walker) to capture ... Show synopsis As Season Three of the paranormal crime drama Profiler gets under way, a trap set by psychic forensic specialist Sam Waters (Ally Walker) to capture elusive serial killer Jack of All Trades has failed dismally, leaving Jack's demented disciple "Jill" (Traci Lords) dead and Sam empty-handed. As Sam's colleagues in the Violent Criminal Task Force try to figure out a new strategy to bring in Jack, they come to the disturbing conclusion that the killer has been stalking Sam since both were children, and that he may have something even worse than murder in mind when he finally gets his hands on her. This story arc ends abruptly when the team captures Donald Lucas, who confesses to being Jack. Lulled into a sense of security, Sam purchases a new home for herself and her daughter Cloe (now played by Evan Rachel Wood, replacing Caitlin Wachs), re-enters the dating scene, and even attempts to mend fences with her estranged family. Alas, just when we thik that Jack is out of the picture, along comes the episode "Otis, California", in which we see Jack's face for the first time--and it isn't behind bars. The full truth comes out during the trial of Donald Lucas, who is merely another disciple of the demonic Jack--who has shown up in a different guise to testify in the trial, and to finally gain access to Sam without fear of being stopped! Outside of this explosive season finale, the most interesting of the third-season Profiler episode is "Grand Master", a crossover story with another NBC series The Pretender, featuring Michael T. Weiss in his familiar TV role of Jarod Russell. Hal Erickson, Rovi

I've written a simple multi-threaded game server in python that creates a new thread for each client connection. I'm finding that every now and then, the server will crash because of a broken-pipe/SIGPIPE error. I'm pretty sure it is happening when the program tries to send a response back to a client that is no longer present.
What is a good way to deal with this? My preferred resolution would simply close the server-side connection to the client and move on, rather than exit the entire program.
PS: This question/answer deals with the problem in a generic way; how specifically should I solve it?

Somewhere really tall
Another time-honored setting for starry-eyed romantics is the observation deck of the Empire State Building, 1,050 feet above the streets of Manhattan.
The deck stays open until 2 a.m., when the city that never sleeps continues to shimmer. You can also get married on Valentine's Day at the same spot.
Since 1994, more than 220 couples have been married atop the Empire State Building in an annual Valentine's Day wedding event. An express ticket to the top costs $41.52 plus tax, per person. Naturally, you'll need two tickets.

Record late freeze may take toll
WICHITA FALLS - A record late freeze no doubt did damage to vegetation in the Wichita Falls area.
The temperature Wednesday morning dipped to 29 degrees and stayed below freezing between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., according to Ryan Barnes, a meteorologist the the National Weather Service.
The cold likely took a heavy toll on certain outdoor plants, according to Steve Smith of Smith's Gardentown Farms.
"Tomatoes, peppers, periwinkles, hibiscus and bougainvillea were killed or damaged if they were not protected," he said.
Smith said people will be able to tell "pretty quickly" if there plants were damaged. "Leaves will turn black and plants will start wilting."
Steve Montz, orchard manager for the Pecan Shed, said most pecan trees probably made it through the cold snap OK.
Pecan and mesquite are late bloomers that rarely do so before the last freeze of the season. Mother Nature fooled both this time.
Steve Young of Young's Orchard in Charlie, said the peach crop had already been ruined by a freeze in late March. He suspects the strawberry and blackberry crops have damage.
"We'll know right away," he said.
He was hopeful the apple trees would be OK, but he held out little hope for fruit from peach and apricot trees homeowners have in their yards.
The region's vital wheat crop has been damaged by late freezes. Wichita County Agent Fred Hall spent much of Wednesday in wheat field and said he saw a mixed bag.
"We have some damage," he said.
Hall said it will take awhile to determine the exact extent of damage.
"We won't know for sure until we run a combine through it," he said.
Hall said some of the wheat he looked at was still in good shape.
Wichita Falls has shattered late freeze records this spring. plummeting three times below the previous late date record of 32 degrees set on April 15, 1983.
No more freezes are in the forecast through Sunday with daytime temperatures returning to more seasonable 70s and 80s by the weekend.
Slight rain chances return to the forecast for the drought-stricken area tonight through Friday.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 4/23/13
Draft pundit Mel Kiper Jr. published a piece in which he personally picked the first three rounds for every team. The premise was an "A" draft for each team. When it came to the Browns, Kiper used the trade down theory and came up with this- "Cleveland Browns Top needs: CB, QB, G, ILB, TE Rd. 1 (11) G Chance Warmack, Alabama (via San Diego) Rd. 3 (68) QB EJ Manuel, Florida St. Rd. 3 (76) CB Darius Slay, Mississippi St. (via San Diego) Analysis: As the GM of the Browns, I trade down and still hit a top need. That No. 6 slot is a high-leverage one, because it could be the last chance for several teams in need to get one of the three top left tackle prospects. In this case, it's San Diego. I pick up this year's third and next year's as well. Without a second-round pick, the extra pick is a big help, and I still get a great player in Warmack, a guy who fills a need and should give a big boost to the run game. Warmack should be a Pro Bowl guard. The added third allows us to grab Manuel in a good value spot. For this draft you'll see I have quarterbacks lower than most, but that's a reflection of how I view the class. Lastly, Slay is a nice value in Round 3, an upgrade at the corner spot across from Joe Haden. This draft offers a good balance of immediate help at need spots, and the shot on upside at QB." The selection of Warmack gives the Browns a rock solid offensive line, and trading back to get him allows them to address the CB position and also get a developmental QB. If the Browns were to put this plan into action, what grade would you give? Would you be happy with Manual in the third round? What about addressing the need for a pass rusher?

For a while I have had Flipboard installed on my iPhone and iPad. The interface is nice, and it is quite a good way of discovering news. But the algorithms and human selection used for news on the platform leave a lot to be desired. Sometimes, one ends up discovering important news precisely because the algorithms fail so badly.
For instance, I have The Guardian set up in Flipboard as a source. But the stories it seems to prioritise from the Guardian are those dealing pretty much exclusively with Australia, including comments written about the Australian government as "our government", even though I'm pretty sure The Guardian is a British newspaper, what with having visited their London offices a few times. Quite why I only get Australian news, I'm not sure.
Recently, I tried to set up a whole stack more feeds inside Flipboard so I could—in a bid to be a more informed global citizen—better monitor news from countries whose names don't start with the word "United".
The international feeds that Flipboard has recommended to me are astoundingly terrible. The feed on Germany seems to be primarily about the products of Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes rather than about the politics and current affairs of the country in which those companies are based.
The feed for Brazil seems to be mainly about the Brazilian men's national soccer team or the World Cup, and the remainder of the stories are light fluff about travel to Brazil. This is in spite of the fact that Brazil has been undergoing massive waves of political protests in many of its major cities in response to the revelation of large-scale corruption of the country's national oil and gas company, Petrobras. Said protests—in addition to the economic situation of the country—have left President Dilma Rousseff fighting for her political life as she was involved in the running of Petrobras before becoming President. The fate of the elected leader of the fifth largest country in the world—and the investigation into alleged corruption on contracts worth up to $22 billion—is obviously far less important than competing teams of men kicking a ball around a field.
Today, I just checked the feed for Japan. The first two stories are regarding the success of the Japanese women's soccer team, then a story about scientific research from Japan. Then another story about robots. Then a human interest story about Pokémon. Then a story about sekusu shinai shokogun—the alleged celibacy of Japan's "herbivore men", and the alleged demographic impacts. I say alleged because there's some debate about whether this is actually real or not. More about the women's football team. A solar powered plane—okay, that's moderately interesting. Ooh, an actually interesting story: "Toyota's top female executive steps down after arrest in Japan". Three more stories about the women's football. Then a story about sushi. Hard hitting news.
Let's try Denmark. "Danish festival recycles urine to make beer" is the top story, followed by the eminently less important "Denmark to cut asylum-seeker benefits under new leaders". Oh yeah, the Danes had an election two weeks ago and Helle Thorning-Schmidt's Social Democrats were replaced by a centre-right coalition led by Lars Løkke Rasmussen. I might have missed it because of headlines about people drinking beer made from their own piss.
How about Ireland? Top headline from there is "No Highway to Hell for AC/DC as their Irish fans are Thunderstruck". Yep. A 70s rock band played a concert in Dublin yesterday. Flipboard also informed me that the Irish singer Val Doonican died, and pointed me to an article on the Huffington Post website about important moral lessons I could learn from watching the Irish version of The Bachelorette. Nowhere in the Irish news did it bother to inform me that yesterday, former Taoisearch Brian Cowan was brought in front of an inquiry to defend his handling of the financial crisis. Neither did Flipboard's Ireland feed tell me anything about the remarks from Irish president Michael D. Higgins about Europe's handling of refugees. I mean, I guess I'm sort of fuddy-duddy, what with the strange, old-fashioned assumption that reporting what the President of a European nation thinks about the Europe-wide refugee crisis is more important than a story about The Bachelorette.
Okay, perhaps I've just had a run of bad luck with news from Japan, Brazil, Denmark and Ireland. Let's try Italy then. "Is This The Hottest Bar in Italy?" reads the first headline. Probably not. "3 of the best Piedmont reds". Yawn. Swipe. "Trafficker gets 18 years in jail over Italian shipwreck that killed 366 migrants". Okay, some actual news.
This is Silicon Valley's vision of the future of news. Bullshit listicles about reality shows and wine and rock concerts being more important than stories about wars, refugees, terrorism, economic crises and the flow of political power. Thank you, Facebook. Thank you, Upworthy. Thank you, "disruption". Please go swallow some recycled piss.

Preheat oven to 500°F.
Stir together butter, zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
Pat chicken dry and arrange, skin sides up, in a shallow roasting pan (1 inch deep).
