Choice About Uncirculated 1842-D Quarter Eagle1842-D $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 3-F. The 1842-D quarter eagle is widely acknowledged as one of the most difficult pieces of Dahlonega gold to acquire. Of the original mintage of 4,643 pieces, it is estimated by Winter that only 75 to 85 exist in all grades, with About Uncirculated examples a small fraction of that. Although NGC records five Mint State examples, PCGS has graded none, and it is impossible to know exactly how many of those pieces represent resubmissions. On this Choice AU piece, the wheat-gold surfaces retain soft but significant peripheral luster. The devices, which have minor but distinct wear and a handful of long, thin abrasions, possess above-average detail nonetheless. A handful of flaws and handling marks affect the fields as well. Still, this is an important opportunity to acquire a high-grade circulated example of this often-elusive issue.(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25GJ, PCGS# 7725)

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - Blu-Ray DVD Review
By: Dusty Somers Blogcritics.org Reviews
Published on: 11/12/2010 5:07 PM
|Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is an absolute gem. I can't think of a film that's resulted in as fun of a time at the movies since, well, Edgar Wright's previous work, Hot Fuzz. Wright is, without a doubt, the most inventive comedic voice working in cinema today, with three films that are endlessly hilarious, sharp-witted, culturally astute, and packed with ideas. Wright is unafraid to just throw stuff up on the screen and see if it works — and it almost always does, from the broadest of gags to the most esoteric....read the full review

Great movie!5/1/2012
Scott Pilgrim is an amazing movie. The special effects are fantastic and makes it seem like your watching a video game. The music is incredible and Michael Cera proves that he's not only funny but can also kick some serious butt. I really liked how the enemies dropped coins when defeated for him to collect like if it were actually a video game.

Ilya Bryzgalov has gone from "Bryzly Bear" to "Boring Bryz"
Apr 26, 2012, 12:37 PM EDT
Over at CSN Philadelphia, Tim Panaccio is bemoaning the disappearance of everybody's favorite quote machine.
That, of course, is Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. The man best known for his love of dogs, fear of bears and knowledge of China's stringent tiger protection policies has been a fountain of one-liners this season, but has since clammed up following Philly's opening-round victory over Pittsburgh.
Why? Not sure, though it's probably because of the correlation between "Boring Bryz" and solid netminding (conversely, "Bryzly Bear" and sieve-like performances.)
Anyway, here's the latest media vs. Bryzgalov transcript:
Q: How can the guys stay fresh this week?
Bryz: "Eat more veggies."
Q: Are you bored with all this practice?
Bryz: "Yeah, bored with you guys."
Q: Bored with the practices? Would you prefer the games to begin?
Bryz: "We're working on some things. Always having fun in practices."
Q: Will you be happy when you know the name of your opponent, so it makes it easier to prepare?
Bryz: "I can't control this….Really it doesn't matter."
Q: What are you doing to stay sharp? What are doing right now?
Bryz: "Going in the shower."
Wow. So boring.
In an effort to spice things up, here are some of the best NHL soundbites of the year.
(And yes, Bryz is prominently featured.)

- jblah - Apr 26, 2012 at 12:58 PM
lol that galaxy stuff made bryz seem high.
- phillyphever - Apr 26, 2012 at 1:01 PM
I'll take boring Bryz if it means getting the March Bryz back.
- sjsharks66 - Apr 26, 2012 at 1:10 PM
The galaxy is so humangous, we are all like so smalls. Lol I don't like the flyers but I love Bryz hahaha
- birdzflyinhigh - Apr 26, 2012 at 1:22 PM
I am glad to see Bryz being "boring". I think he realizes now is not the time to have fun with the media and that he needs to step his game up because he will be crucial to determining how far the flyers can go. I hope with this rest he can get his focus back and play up to the potential we know he is capable of, and if he can, we all know Giroux and the gang can put some in the back of the net. FLYGUYS 2012!

- emoser - Apr 26, 2012 at 2:35 PM
I absolutely can't stand Panaccio… the guy is trying to focus on the playoffs and his biggest concern is over Bryz not giving him funny enough quotes. Hacks like him feed off of the bottom fruit like funny quotes from Bryz and get pissy when they have to actually sit down and think of something substantive to write about.
- eigglesnosuperbowls - Apr 26, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Bryz could be Bryz in Russia but has to clam up in the USA what is wrong with this picture ?
- bigdong28 - Apr 26, 2012 at 5:54 PM
If the flyers get the Bryz of March back along with Grossman and Mez…they could go all the way. Goaltending around the league has looked bad since the start of the playoffs.

Another laptop question?! Portability of 17" screens?
Sorry to clutter things up with yet another laptop question.
I'm about to get myself the laptop I've been promising myself for years - this is for mobile work, not to replace my desktop setup. I've settled on a WU/WSXGA display, but I'm undecided on size. The 17" displays look great, but I'm concerned the extra size ( and weight ) over the 15.4" machines might make them considerably less portable. On the other hand, the extra width and mass might be an advantage if it gives extra stability if I'm working 'en plein'...
Anyone have experience with 17" machines for mobile work?
Hide this ad by registering as a memberJuly 13th, 2004 #2
Matt I've been using my 17" powerbook for my primary machine for over a year now. I have a nice tower at home but I prefer to use the laptop simply because I work on it in the office and my home office. No need to transfer files all the time, it's all in one place. I've travelled with it it on the plane several times and never had a space issue. The weight is really not even noticable... and the extra screen real estate really does make a difference when travelling. It might have cost a little more but personally I think it's worth every penny. It might not seem like much but when you're painting or working in a few different apps at once, the extra space really does make a difference.
Good luck with whatever you decide, just though I'd share my 2¢

Australia's Seawind Catamarans is set to unveil a brand new entry level coastal cruising catamaran at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show this May.
950 on water
The Seawind 950 project has been kept top secret throughout the nearly three year development period, with extensive model and full scale water testing occurring with two boats already launched and the third boat to be on display at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.
The new 30ft design labeled the 'Seawind 950', combines an amazing package with two large double cabins, another smaller double cabin plus a child bunk. There is a spacious shared shower / head, very generous galley configuration and a large open living space with Seawind's signature Indoor / Outdoor saloon & cockpit with a saloon table that converts into a bed plus a full time day bed. An optional charter configuration offers two large cabins and two separate bathrooms.
The boat is designed to fit into two 40ft containers and shipped anywhere in the world, to be easily assembled in a few days by just two people. As the modular system has been purpose designed to easily lock together with minimal bolting, the Seawind 950 can also be disassembled for international transport by shipping container anywhere in the world.
The Seawind 950 comes standard as a cruising model with fixed mini-keels, but there is also an optional racing model with a lowering centerboard for higher pointing performance. A self-tacking jib and fully battened mainsail are standard on either model, along with twin 9.9hp Yamaha Outboards. An overlapping genoa is also optional.
950 Interior-Plan-2cabin
This brand new model adds to Seawind's heritage of building great sailing catamarans with a performance philosophy. The hull shape concept is consistent with that of the existing Seawind models including the blue water Seawind 1250, also on display at the boat show.
Priced at just $209,000 inc GST delivered anywhere in Australia ready to assemble and sailaway, the new Seawind 950 offers incredible value and is bound to introduce the joys of cruising on catamarans hundreds of new sailing couples and families around the world.

This provision is, however, absent from the penal Code Iran approved in 2012, though apparently not yet signed into law.

Mistborn: The Final Empire (2006)
by Brandon Sanderson
Best Fantasy Novels (45)
» 10 more
Wonderful book with an original and interesting system of magic.
This book has a high average rating. I feel a little guilty for giving it a 3. Part of the reason I feel guilty is that it was a good book, for certain people. It was well written and characterization was great. It's just, my brain shuts off with anything political. This book's plot was very politically based. I found myself tuning out a lot and then realized near the end that I'd been doing that most of the time.
Quite possibly the most infuriating book I have ever read. The storyline is immense and one of the most original I have ever come across, but the way it is written is pretty poor. There are a few typos, which I won't blame entirely on the author, but there are also grammatical errors and sentence structures that are a bit iffy (and I'm not talking about the way Spook speaks).
In terms of the storyline; such a wonderful thing to behold. Creative, indulgent, quite amazing. Such originality, it is a shame that it fell into the mind of someone who can't quite tell a story in as a captivating way as one would hope for. It seemed to drag on without much happening in stages, and at other it went too fast to even understand what was happening. The pace was off, though intriguing.
The characters were another problematic area. A mixed batch of unusual and quite annoying characters mixed up in one, some of whom were rather two-dimensional at points, and others just plain annoying. Personal preference, perhaps, but isn't that what reading is all about?
I don't dismiss this series completely. I would like to know what happens, if only to know. Sanderson reminds me of Ian Irvine slightly, with the way he writes, and I hope, like I found with Irvine's books, that they improve with each one of the series. I was disappointed slightly, because with such a brilliant storyline, you would think that perhaps more care could have been taken with everything else.
Tempted to give it three stars, but really it was too much of a disappointment for three. The book cover is enough to give it another star - but that hardly counts.
This was an amazing beginning to a trilogy. and this is also a great self contained book.
The world building is outstanding. The magic system just blew my mind.
I am an allomancer in my dreams because of this book. This book has some of the finest action scenes that I have read.
And its not just the world building, the characters are outstanding too.
The novel works on so many levels. I don't know why I waited so long to read it but rest assured I am going to reading everything that Sanderson does.
Mistborn was highly recommended to me by my daughter. I was a bit skeptical because I was getting tired of "YA Fantasy" genre. However,I really enjoyed this book. I would put it up there with the top fantasy novels. The characters are well developed and you really get immersed into the novel's setting.
It also has the best name for a subjugated and oppressed people - SKAA. You won't be disappointed with this book. I have recommended it to many adult readers and of course to adolescent readers as well.
Intrigue, politics, and conspiracies mesh completely in a world Sanderson realizes in satisfying depth and peoples with impressive characters.
The fast-paced action scenes temper Vin's interminable ballroom intrigues, while the characters, though not profoundly drawn, have a raw stereotypic appeal.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765350386, Mass Market Paperback)
Brandon Sanderson, fantasy's newest master tale spinner, author of the acclaimed debut Elantris, dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge? The answer will be found in the Mistborn Trilogy, a saga of surprises and magical martial-arts action that begins in Mistborn.
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.
But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.
Readers of Elantris thought they'd discovered someone special in Brandon Sanderson. Mistborn proves they were right.

We didn't stick exactly to our route and things happened that I really could have done without. Some great things happened unexpectedly also. Thats why it was a great adventure!

Shall we start again?
Ok, so it's been a while since I started this thread. I've been busy I guess.
This trip started when my better half informed me she would be spending a month in Tanzania with 30 of her students. Great, where can I go on my bike I thought. Initial plans to head north were put on the back burner when my friend Mark expressed an interest in joining me. Mark has been to the alps a few times by bike and car so I figured I'd use his knowledge and divert south.
Thats why we ended up with a rough plan to head into europe in a clockwise direction and take in some alpine roads. We'd camp to save some cash which we figured was better spent on petrol.
I'd be on my 1150 and mark would ride his 1200.
The night before consisted of all the usual decisions about what clothes to take (how many days could I go without washing them) how much sun cream would a ginger need in the alps? and it resulted in the inevitable pile of kit on the living room floor.
I'd like to remind those of you thinking I was living dangerously with kit all over the house, that Paula was a few thousand miles away in a different hemisphere. These are the minimum requirements needed if you choose to mess up the house.
Eventually I got it all to look like this. Quite a lot of kit for the back of the bike, but hey, it weighs less than Paula so I figured I'd be ok.
I dragged the kit into the kitchen, gave my bike another once over, checked the weather for tomorrow (rain..), set my alarm and went to bed.
Day One.
I woke earlier than I needed so took my time eating breakfast and loading the bike. We planned to meet at a local service station on the M6 to fuel up before the slog to Dover.
The one on the right would be fun, but I figure I'd enjoy the one on the left more.
I set off with an eye on the clouds and in full waterproofs. Wondering what memories I'd have when I next headed down these roads, how many miles will I have traveled, what sights will I have seen!
Not many as it turned out. I realised I had left the little jobby that lets me use standard 12v plugs in the BMW accessory socket. Bugger. I turned round hoping that was the only thing I'd forgotten.
Having finally made it to the service station, sussed out each others packing and with full tanks we headed off into the rain to join the masses heading south. I couldn't wait to have some dry sweeping bends under my wheels.
Motorway driving is as you all know fairly boring, the only note worthy points were me nearly heading the wrong way and Mark almost needing waders to get his bike back after lunch. He'd parked in an end space by what turned out to be a blocked drain. The downpour we saw whilst tucking into our burgers managed to turn his bike into an island. Gore tex boots are great.
Hours later and with a disturbingly numb arse we arrived at the camp near the ferry terminal. It's worth mentioning me and Mark know each other through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. We each take different groups camping and on other adventurous activities. Because we spend so much time in tents we've learnt that the secret to a good night sleep lies in the location of your tent. When I take groups with staff who I know snore I adopt the 'pitch your tent last and as far from Dave as possible' technique. It never fails. Our desire for good night sleep saw us most nights wandering camp sites on foot searching for a good spot, before riding the bikes over.
We settled for this spot.
Tents pitched, we did a quick reconnoitre to the ferry terminal, filled the bikes once more (amazingly on the way down our two bikes had used a mere 10p difference in fuel) and headed to a local pub to have our last curry for two weeks.

A quick peek out of the tent at 0600 the next morning revealed a wet dreary day.
After arrival at the ferry terminal we headed inside out of the rain. Having just approached the front of the breakfast queue we heard the call to our ferry. Breakfast would have to wait until we'd boarded.
Time on the ferry was well spent checking the weather and planning the route.
We decided to head south fast as possible as the weather looked horrible in Germany. Despite the forecast we still had a couple of nice spells which gave us the chance to get out of the waterproofs.
We were glad to get moving in the sunshine.
We hit a delay as we left the Peage when the automated machine ate my card. Thankfully a dutch couple with a caravan following helped translate over the helpline/intercom. 30 minutes later and a technician turned up to pull the machine open and dig out my card.
Turned out we were all headed to the same municipal campground.
Tents up, we settled in for the night.

We would spend the morning heading south on the Peage past Bourg-en-Bresse before using the D910 south of Annecy. Our first Pass would be over the Col de la Madeleine. I didn't take many photos on my stills camera due to the weather so I've captured a few frames from my GoPro. You'll have to ignore the control bar on the bottom of each image. I'll try my best to upload a few videos so you can get a feel for the riding over there.
Another damp start to the day with a gentle rain shower wetting the tents just before we packed them away. Typical... We went for full waterproofs to play it safe, the first part of the day would be on the Peage so stopping for a sudden downpour would be too risky.
With the campsite behind us, we cut cross country to the Peage.
yay, rain...
Gradually the weather improved. Stopping for fuel, food and I also bought a local map so I could keep a record of our route.
I think I know where I'm going :)
On the D911 south of Annecy. A welcome change from the previous two days blasting down motorways.
Descending into St-Pierre-D'Albigny we had our first gentle hairpins.
Best of luck fella!
We start the climb up to the Col de la Madeleine.
A couple of slow cars are quickly despatched.
At the top we take a break, throw some more clothes on and head off for some refreshments.
We then headed to a campsite close to St-Jean-de-Maurienne where we hoped the fine weather would hold.
After we'd set the tents and were planing the evenings meal we heard the standard northern greeting of 'Ey up!' A chap from Wigan then stuck his head through the hedge and introduced himself. He was down for the Tour d France and had heard some familiar accents. He was interested in our bikes and route but said he'd never bring his Harley this far. As he was leaving in the next few days he offered us a fuel canister for our stoves, a kind offer but sadly his was a different attachment to ours so we declined. He did recommend an excellent Pizza place just round the corner so we headed off for our only evening meal out on the whole trip. The following nights we were content with whatever food we could buy and prepare on our Trangias.
Later in my tent I spent a little time marking our route on the map I'd purchased earlier before getting my head down to the sound of more rain. Boo.

Day 4 started cold and damp, but no rain! Could this mean we'd managed to push through the band of patchy rain covering France??
Today would take us through Val-d'Isere over the Col du petit St Bernard into Italy where we planned to camp in the Aosta Valley just south of the Col du grand St Bernard.
The cold start covered everything with dew.
Including Marks helmet. He wedged it on this pole for the sun to dry out.
But check out the blue skies! Todays forecast was much better.
We moved the bikes into the sun whilst we loaded our kit.
Then it was a short blast to a supermarket to stock up on food for the day.
Summer cross country ski training.
Headed towards the Col de I'Iseran and Val-d'Isere
I was leading and decided to stop in the shade to snap a couple of photo's. Turns out four years ago when Mark came this way he decided the exact same thing. We were joined by a cyclist who happily took our photo.
Mark returned the favour.
We began the climb up to the Col.
Turns out to day was the day the French road crews were patching the road by sticking marbles down with treacle... those little patches did an excellent job of unsettling the bikes as they powered up the mountain.
I think you've missed a few marbles...
Fresh treacle is poured.
Some stretches were thankfully patch free and we could open the bikes up again.
At the Col.
We started our descent.
Looking down into Val-d'Isere
Lunch time before we headed through the town.
The road out of the town has lots of tunnels to play in.
Eventually we started to head up onto 'Little St Bernard'
He must have had a complex to have had such a big platform built
Or was this the St Bernard they meant??
Entering country number three, Italy!
To be continued......

More snow greeted us over the Italian border. By the looks of it, this patch was here to stay so they've diverted the road around it.
It did lead to an interesting photo opportunity though, all the snow making it look like the road was closed.
Continuing down into the Aosta Vally we hit a few more road works. The roads were noticeably poorer quality on this side of the Col, but they weren't patching using treacle so we didn't mind.
What was I saying about poor quality roads? Hairpins bring grins so we don't care about the occasional potholed section
Hitting the Valley bottom the temperatures soared leading to a decidedly sweaty couple of hours to the campsite.
We filled up the bikes down in the valley before we headed up to the Grand St Bernard and our campsite. This meant passing the turn to the col before looping back after refuelling. Mark was slightly delayed pulling out of the petrol station by a line of cars so I waited for him 100m up the turn. Only to watch him sail straight past... I had to spin the bike round and get properly Italian with my riding style in order to make up the distance. Thankfully after a mile or so he recognised that he'd missed the turn so spun around just as I was catching up with him. We then set off together up out of the heat.
Glad for the refreshment as we headed up to camp.
We arrived at the camp found by my satnav and was given a quick tour by the owners daughter so we could pick our spot in the shade.
This will do nicely.
Food was some pasta with tomato and basil sauce with a few of Marks frankfurters thrown in. Not too bad.
After a shower to wash the days sweat from my body I relaxed in my tent listening to my iPod trying to drown out the dutch family next to us who for some reason chose to chatter into the early hours of the morning. I mean what ridiculous time is it any way??
oh, it's only 22:00...

Yeah, It's been a while. I'm planning for Norway this summer and I know if I don't do this now I'll never finish it. I've so much raw footage from the GoPro, creating this will force me to review it all.
Keep checking, I'm uploading some more videos to the tube as I type.

Day 5
The campsite was quiet as I woke the following morning, just a faint rustling from Marks tent as he prepared to go for a shower.
This was our usual routine, Mark would wake first pack and shower which usually served to wake me gently so I could start to pack too. I preferred to shower in the evening, usually after Mark had climbed in his tent, leaving me with a little extra time to doze in the morning.
As he left for the shower block I packed my sleeping bag and associated guff into my panniers before climbing out and trotting off for a pee. I think it comes from usually camping in poor weather, but I never like climbing back in my tent to pack. I'd much rather open the door with my bags ready to go. When it's chucking it down you don't want to get kit soaked as you climb around.
That morning the my bike had a good throaty cough and belched smoke out over the site when I started it, as most GS owners will know, 'they all do that Sir, every now and then' It was the only time over the trip thankfully.
With the sun shining and most of the site still snoozing we headed out.
And started to climb the Grand St Bernard Pass
Interestingly unlike Petit St Bernard earlier, Grand St Bernard doesn't feel the need to be stood on a massive column.
Having passed over the Col, we start the descent.
Past the ventilation shafts for the tunnel below.
Before we eventually joined the rest of the traffic as they exited the tunnel whizzing along unaware of the fantastic roads above.
From the Col we headed to Martigny then east to the Nufenen Pass where we would loop round and ride the Gotthard, Susten, Grimsel and Furka.
First we had to dodge the motorways leading us east. Switzerland requires every user of its motorways to purchase a vignette. At one point we thought about buying one to speed up the journey along valley bottoms, thinking we could buy them for the day As it turns out they were in the region of £70 for the whole year only. We declined.
Keeping off the main roads meant we passed through some small towns.
My rear bulb had been working intermittently for the past two days leading to a warning light on the dash. I decided to buy a replacement whilst we refuelled at a BMW Garage.
Shortly after the garage I was tempted by a football in the middle of the road, I thought about booting it as I rode past, but had visions of it bouncing off the barrier and under my front wheel. I'm sure Mark would have laughed, but I played it safe.
More pretty little towns.

We climbed the Nufenen.
And enjoyed the descent.
Finding the Gotthard Pass was not all that easy, there seemed to be a mass of signs pointing in every direction saying Gotthard. The satnav decided this was a good moment to get confused and soon became useless. Eventually I applied my years of navigation training, found a road headed up hill and followed it.
Success! The cobbles under our wheels told us we'd found the Tremola.
Look at those wiggles!
You can see the modern route under cover.
The cobbles continue for quite a while parallel to the new route on the other side.
At the start of the Sustenpass.
A campsite was marked on the descent from the Sustenpass which we wanted to check out. We were unsure if it would be cold as there was a distinct nip to the air in the shade. However we figured we didn't mind a bit of cold overnight so decided to go for it.
We pitched the tents and settled in for the night.
Seemingly mark had a stow away clinging to his pack chair all day.
We were treated to a light show as our host tried to tempt us away from our camp stoves with the smell of fresh pizzas.
We took the opportunity to give the bikes a once over and top up the oil. Both bikes had used about 300ml, we each had about 1L of spare oil so were confident we wouldn't need anymore until we got home.
After marking the days route on the map I climbed into my sleeping bag and fell asleep to the sound of cowbells echoing around the valley.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Jennifer Whitehead, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 20 August 2009 10:15AM
Art & Copy is directed by Doug Pray, a documentary filmmaker who has previously turned his lens on the Seattle music scene and long-haul truck drivers.
Its release coincides with a 'Mad Men'-inspired wave of interest in the real people who work on Madison Avenue, the Fleet Street of the US ad industry.
The film reveals a little known fact about the 'Just Do It' slogan used by Nike, which is that it was derived from the phrase "let's do it" -- the last words uttered by Gary Gilmore, the murderer who notoriously asked to be executed by firing squad.
It also delves in to the background of some other famous American slogans including 'Got Milk?' and 'Where's the beef?', which promote milk and the fast food chain Wendy's respectively.
The documentary also looks at some of the more controversial figures in US advertising, famous for challenging the mediocrity prevalent in the industry.
Appearing along with Wieden, Goodby and Silverstein are Lee Clow, chairman and chief creative director at TBWA\Chiat Day and the inventor of Apple's 'Think Different' slogan, and the late Hal Riney, founder of Publicis & Hal Riney.
The film opens on limited release in the US tomorrow. Details of UK distribution are not yet available.
Doug Pray's most recent documentary, 'Surfwise', has been screened on More4. Pray has also directed ads.

Very nice und lovely people, they helped us to find a wonderfull apartment nearby. So we could join the Tavern every day.
We visited Glyfa after recommendation from friends. We also checked references in Tripadvisor. Our experience was average, minus. The food was ok, not extraordinary. The service was bad!
We ate in this tavern many times during our four-month stay in Paros. It was the place we took our guests when we waned to introduce them to a taverna that for us represents the best in Paros home-grown food and cooking. The cooking is of highest quality. We are mostly vegetarian and for our likes there is ample and...
This is a beautiful and ecological restaurant with proximity products surrounded by gardens and sea views.
I have no words to describe the quality and value for money food! A must visit in Paros!! Try the papoutsakokia and kokora (rooster) with spagetti! Dont forget the gemista (stuffed tomatoes). Enjoy!!
Fresh food but I remember this place much better. I didnt like that the stuff speak loud to the kicthen. I didn't like the fact that i was not allowed to change my child in the restaurant, I didn't like the food which use to be better. The location is great. They should try harder
Very nice food,all traditional greek plates with original recipes,very welcoming service,must visit and taste. Better go between 14:00-16:30

There are two things about me that you (yes you who is reading this) should know. First is that I love traveling. Being about to occasionally wake up and breath the air another part of the world keeps my mind fresh and happy. Second thing about me is that I like things the good old way, especially in a relationship. Emails and texting are cool and all, but they cannot replace the simple hand writing of letters. I believe there are certain elements required in a romantic relationship, most of them have not change since my parents were dating. People would say that I am easy-going, and fun to hang out with. I am positive and optimistic who always look at the glass half-full. I work hard but also find time to enjoy life the best I can. I like to explore new things and hobbies and it would be even better if I can share the joy with someone significant. I'd like to look for someone who has a good sense of humor, open-minded, and good at heart. Someone I can sit and read books together, spend an hour or two on the dance-floor shaking butts together, or converse sincerely together.

A new iPhone 5 for the holidays would be a welcome treat in this household.
i hope i win... an iPod... because I never win anything... and i'd give it to my niece for Christmas... which would make me an awesome uncle =D
I have an iPhone 5, so I'd like an iPad. I'd like an iPad because I've learned in recent months that I believe I can do almost all of my computing work from an iPad. My MacBook died a short time ago, and have been doing 80% of everything I did on it on my iPhone. An iPad would provide the screen real estate to allow me to go to 98%!
I would get the iPad mini just because I don't have one.
(I'm in the UK in case this is US only).
I want an iPhone 5. Been using android since version 1.5 and was fed up with 3rd parties so tried to get a Nexus 4. Managed to order one but long story short their customer service is awful and I had to cancel it and they won't let me order a new one.
Anyway, I think the two OSes are pretty much the same now - but the iPhone hardware is SOO much better (especially the camera) and the customer support (from firsthand experience) second to none. After having an iPod touch I'm ready to jump back into iOS and a gift card would make it a no brainer!
I would love to win an iphone or an ipad because my brother is getting into college to become a computer engineer and a smartphone or a tablet would do wonders to his studies..........thanks for this amazing oppurtunity
iPhone 5! I'm waiting for it for 1.5 years since iPhone 4S was realeased! I wanted bigger screen phone, so I even do not have a phone since that times.
any of the device because never got the privilege one ! :(
iPad Mini or iPad 4 for me. I would be a first time iPad user.
Oooo, I would love an iPad! And my birthday is 3 days before Christmas, so an iPad would be an awesome gift!
iPad mini! 64GB in Black, WiFi + Cellular (AT&T). Thanks, iMore!
I would pleae like a iPad mini as i am only nine and cant save up.
If i could have 1 you will make my dreams come true!!
Btw love the app
Merry Christmas
I want to win an ipad. I'm an Art teacher and this will be the ultimate devise for educational purposes. Of course this will be an amazing devise for many different things, however there's an app where you can paint with actual brush that comes compatible with ipad, amazing!!!
I would like a 64GB iPad 4th gen. Why? I sold my iPad 1 to buy a Nexus 7. While I love my Nexus 7, I miss my iPad so much :(
I have an iPad Mini on my Christmas wish list.
A white iPhone 5 - want to gift it to my Girl Friend!!!
I'm dreaming of a new iPad. I don't own one, and it's the only thing I want. Please?
So, I recently had a chance to win an iPad mini during a game of musical chairs at a Christmas party for my girlfriends office... I came in second, to the boss, who proceeded to raffle off the iPad to someone else! So... If I could win one here, it would make up for my devastating loss. :) Merry Christmas!
I really NEED an IPad please. Merry Christmas everyone!
I would love an iPad with retina display as my ipad 2 just doesn't look sharp anymore :(
I would like an iPad mini...I have been wanting an iPad since the one came out but have never had the funds. The mini because I think I could get more use out of it with the added portability.
i'd like to win a iPhone 5 or and iPod, it bee a great way to start off freshman year in high school compared to the i don't even have a phone and i'm 15.
(Fingers Crossed).
The New Iphone 5 because sadly i still own a dumbphone and would like nothing more than to move into the great SMARTPHONE era for christmas!!!!
Well I am waiting for the congratulations e-mail for my ipad mini

iPhone 5 because my current iPhone is giving me trouble
My 6 year old iPod just died and I'm tired of replacing the battery in my phone, so... iPhone 5 it is!
i would love an iPad mini for Christmas!
I would like a new iPod Touch so I can give one to my sister. For a long time she has always wanted an iPhone, but she can't ever get one because it's just too expensive paying monthly. Also, I recently got a new job that allowed me to buy an iPhone 5 for myself, so I feel pretty bad. I thought an iPod Touch would be the next best thing for her. Besides, the unactivated iPhone 3G she uses as an iPod is starting to show its age. Thanks a lot. I'm going to eat a sandwich now.

iPad 2. Definitely. Tired of struggling to read a magazine on my nook color (so tiny! so frustrating!) which, for some reason, won't let me do ANYTHING when it's charging. I would also like to stop dragging my laptop on road trips. Who wants to risk losing their tax info just so they can catch up on Doctor Who episodes? Clearly I do-but I don't feel good about! I would love increased functionality, enough memory to keep all of my audiobooks, in other words...freedom.

Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a person was facetiming, not even my spouse;
The lightning cables were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ghost of Steve Jobs soon would be there...
What a merry Christmas it would be to see an iPad, iPhone, and iPad Mini!!
Seth Maxwell
I would use the gift card toward a Macbook Air. As a high school student, I need to do a lot of work on a computer, and my productivity suffers from not having a personal laptop.
Many thanks to iMore!
I want to win an iPhone because my galasy s2 is awful. PLEASE~~
I would love a white iPad mini!
I Need iPhone 5 for this christmas it is my dream to maintain to my owniPhone
I would love to check out the ipad mini!
I am a current T-Mobile customer and a former iPhone 3G user. I had to switch phones because of connectivity issues and have been dealing with BlackBerry and Androids for the past 3 years. I regret leaving my iPhone every day and I am so desperately aching to once again use what I consider to be the best, most innovative and most reliable piece of smartphone technology. I would love to use the unlocked iPhone 5 since my carrier doesn't carry the phone. Luckily, though, T-Mobile is upgrading their cell towers so, at the very least, I will be able to use 3G in my area and I couldn't be happier during the holidays or year round for that matter if I was able to use an iPhone again. Please consider me for this prize. Thank you! - Moe
I WANT an IPHONE 5, IPAD 4 and IPAD Mini. What I need is an IPHONE 5, IPAD 4 and IPAD Mini.
This is the first time in my life when my needs equal my wants. Merry Christmas
i want iphone 5 for christmas and new year gift!!! because it's a functional and coolest phone ever in this earth!!!
An iPad would be fantastic as it would be an added tool to employ that inspires learning specifically where resources to improve developmental or other cognitive skills.
I would love to win the iPhone 5, because I need a new phone
I want an iphone 5! yeay! :D
I would love to have iPhone 5 to replace my 3GS
I really want an iphone since last year, and I really want it , Please ! :'DD
The new iPod Touch 5th Generation... 'Coz it is simply the BEST music player to date, with a processor chip that ensures superb application performance and support, an A-Mazing screen, everything the iPhone 5 is but just not a phone. The perfect companion to the business minded when one doesn't want to hog games and multimedia onto one's smartphone.
Would love to have it...

I got up on the mountain this morning and took a couple of quick runs to notch my second day of the season. Riding conditions have been improved by the couple of inches of snow that we got last night and Treasure Hollow, which we just opened today, was surprisingly good. Typically it takes a run that is opened with man-made snow a few days to come into shape, but as I noted, the Hollow was already skiing really well. And truth be told, I need to get myself in better skiing shape right now!
I noticed that we were still making snow down in the First Time/Three Kings area but the photo here is of the guns that we've moved up to Upper Homerun off the Bonanza lift (it's a little hard to see, but all that fuzzy looking white is from snow guns). It's looking like if conditions stay good for snowmaking that we might be able to open up Bonanza Lift for the weekend.
In non-skiing/riding news, for those of you that are coming out next month for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, they have just announced the films that they will be showing, and as always, it looks like a great selection of movies. I may just have to sneak out a catch a couple of showings, that is, if i can get myself off the mountain!
I am not so sure about this experience but it looks that most of the climbers did the same thing.

I've been trying to keep up with the weather, but it's hard not being there. What do you think the black runs will be like during the week next week?
Eric replies:
Joe, even living here I'm not sure what the weather is going to do tomorrow. However, I do know that we need a really good storm to get to the point where we can open many of the black runs. I remember last season though, all it took was one storm, at about this time, and we were opening Pioneer and Thaynes lifts... http://parkcity.typepad.com/park_city_mountain_resort/2007/12/the-news-youve.html

That's good news. Park City has always been great, and we can't wait to get up there! Will the Sundance crowds be in effect the week before the event, or do folks start showing up the week of? Just curious....
Eric replies:
Elliot, Sundance crowds don't usually show up until the first Friday of the festival so you shouldn't run into any of our PIB (people in black) friends. See you in about a month!
— Posted by Elliot on December 10, 2008 4:22 PM MST
Has there ever been a year where a majority of the mountain was not open the second week of January? Coming in on January 8th and hoping this year is not the year! Thanks for the post, and keeping us updated. Very good work!
Eric replies:
Elliot, thank you for your comment! I've lived in Park City since '91, and in that time I don't recall any year where the majority of the mountain wasn't open by the Christmas/New Years time period.
— Posted by Elliot on December 10, 2008 3:21 PM MST
any chance of the blues opening up this weekend off of the king con lift with the expected snows?
Eric replies:
Wendy, we need good amount of snow still to get King Con open. We're hoping to get Bonanza lift and First Time run open by the weekend at this point.
— Posted by wendy on December 10, 2008 1:38 PM MST
Assuming the weekend storm drops 4-6 inches, what are you guys likely to be able to open for Dec 15-19? Can't wait! Still dancing...
Eric replies:
Matt, 4-6 inches probably won't allow us to open much, but it certainly is a kick in the right direction...I'm hoping for feet, not inches! ;)
— Posted by Matt on December 10, 2008 1:17 PM MST
Well, we enjoyed our trip greatly! Of course, more snow would have been great but for firt timers there was more than enough. I have to say our experience was perfect. Everyone at the resort was super friendly, from the rental guys at Legacy to the instructors, lift staff and resport help scattered all around. We could not have asked for a better experience. Now that we have done it, there will be no doubt we will come back next year and bring our kids!
Eric replies:
Tim, thanks - see you next year! :D
— Posted by Tim on December 10, 2008 7:24 AM MST
krista, thankful so much for your comment on momdot regarding paid bloggers. I really appreciate your feedback and its great you are out there researching as a company.
I have actually never been to Utah. When we were in the military, it was one place we wanted to get a base at, but we were never picked to go out there. If I ever am, I will gladly stop by and check it out. It looks amazingly beautiful.
— Posted by trisha on December 10, 2008 7:18 AM MST
Any ideas on how many more runs are going to be open this weekend? Is the lack of snow and open terrain going to affect ski lessons?
Eric replies:
Jared, we won't know for sure what we'll be opening this weekend for another day or two, hoping for Bonanza Lift with Homerun and perhaps First Time run, but don't trust me - check back! Our ski/snowboard school is going all out, they are able to work with whatever terrain is open.
— Posted by jared on December 9, 2008 8:32 PM MST
i'm liking what i see! looks like there will be some more snow this weekend! will be getting there on tuesday, looks promising! can't wait!
Eric replies:
Chris, keep your fingers crossed!
— Posted by chris on December 9, 2008 5:32 PM MST
Just got back from my first turns of the year and I have to agree with you that the few runs that are open are in great shape. I am used to avoiding rocks, mud, and weeds the first week out but not this time. Kudos to those who got your runs in shape. Hope you get First Time run and the Bonanza lift open by Friday when I take my family up.
Eric replies:
Glad to hear the feedback David. I don't know that we'll have Bonanza Lift open by Friday, but hopefully First Time run, we'll keep you posted as soon as we hear.

Headstrong (company)
Strong opinions. Strong results
|Strategy Consulting, Operations Consulting, Business process, Technology services and Outsourcing
|1981 as James Martin Associates
|Headstrong Fairfax, Virginia
Key people
|Sandeep Sahai, CEO
Number of employees
|4,000 (2011)
Headstrong (A Genpact Company) is a company with presence across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, operating in more than 14 locations. It was formed in 2000 when Arjun Malhotra led Techspan was merged with James Martin Associates (by Dr. James Martin) who sat as Headstrong's chairman emeritus until his death in June 2013.[1] Arjun Malhotra became Chairman & CEO of Headstrong in 2004. Beginning from the start of 2010 Sandeep Sahai, the president of the company, became the CEO.
Headstrong has been acquired[when?] by GENPACT for US$550mn.[2]
In 1981, Dr. James Martin together with Dixon Doll established the information technology consultancy firm Doll Martin Worldwide (DMW) in London. The company was later renamed James Martin Associates (JMA), whose clients included the United States and United Kingdom governments. JMA signed a contract with Texas Instruments in 1982 to develop and publish the first methodology for translating business needs into systems solutions—Information Engineering Methodology (IEM). A year later, JMA launched international expansion, opening offices in Amsterdam and Dublin.
Headstrong in the 21st century[edit]
2006 saw Headstrong surpassing the 2000-employee headcount and continuing to enjoy 40 percent growth. Headstrong is recognized as one of The 2006 Global Services 100 by Global Services magazine and neoIT,[3] and is named to The Global Outsourcing 100 by The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).[4] Headstrong joins The Bond Market Association to participate on industry-wide issues in a shared forum.
In 2008, Headstrong was recognized in the Global Services 100,[5] and ranked 33rd in The Global Outsourcing 100—receiving such accolades from the two award giving bodies for the third consecutive year.[6] Headstrong was also included for the first time in the VARBusiness 500 as one of North America's largest solutions providers. Also this year, Headstrong set up its Hyderabad Center of Excellence (CoE) in the Banjara Hills, and formed an alliance with Gallagher Financial Systems.
The American Banker's 2009 Fintech 100 places Headstrong at the 48th spot up from 68 in last year's rankings.[7]
The Birth of TechSpan[edit]
TechSpan was formed in 1998. The name TechSpan included the initials of the original team SPAN - Sandeep, Puneet, Aloke and Nicki. As SPAN url was unavailable they added Tech and the tagline 'Technology spanning the globe'. Arjun Malhotra, the CEO, gathered players in India's IT industry including Aloke Paskar, Bonnie Singh, Curt Terwilliger, Harsh Singh Lohit, Nicki Mehra (Nagesh), Puneet Pushkarna and Sandeep Sahai to meet the standards of Goldman Sachs which was keen on investing in the country's IT outsourcing sector. KPMG's Managing Partner and CEO of Metrius, Keyur Patel was instrumental in providing the early projects like Cisco, Macromedia, Adobe and Apple to Techspan as off shore partner.
Techspan merged with Headstrong in October 2003 and the new name of the joint entity continued as Headstrong.

Why is it that I like myself most when looking back on my years as a college freshman, drunkenly spooning peanut butter into my mouth amid the squalor of my dirty kitchen? Why is it that I appreciate a boyfriend most when I see his elementary school photos and realize he used to look like a well-fed lizard in glasses?
I'm going to wager that it isn't my own affinity for the less-than-socially acceptable and is actually a testament to the fact that humans often love that which is most, well, human. And humanity has the tendency to do some painfully embarrassing stuff. This is the concept that drives Mortified, a collection of short readings and performances of the sometimes brilliant, sometimes artistic, sometimes sad, and always humiliating personal musings its performers created as children and teens. The brainchild of creators and producers Dave Nadelberg and Neil Katcher, Mortified has a constantly changing cast, mainly consisting of adults who have, fortunately, left most of their adolescent angst behind — but still have plenty of stories to tell about it.

There's no question that a childhood spent growing up Ethiopian in Haight-Ashbury made fertile ground in which to grow a stand-up career. That's where Yanye Abeba is coming from. Abeba is performing in Kung Pao Kosher Comedy's second Color of Funny comedy tour on Thu/21 and Fri/22. Her schtick will be part of a unique line-up -- and afterall, how many other people can pull on the interactions between their first generation African father and the homeless kids on Haight Street for their funny?

"City of Lost Souls" at ATA, and "Awkward Dinner Party" at the EXIT Theatre, subverted the Valentine spirit.
Talk about a hot mess. The florid, fluid, City of Lost Souls (1983), Rosa von Praunheim's seldom-screened, "transgendered ex-pat food-fight sex-circus musical extravaganza" begins with a motley cast of unapologetic misfits sweeping up a trashed-out Berlin burger joint, the "Hamburger Königin" (Burger Queen). Shimmying on the counter, falling out of her lingerie, punk rock's first transwoman cult darling, Jayne County, belts out "The Burger Queen Blues" while her fellow wage slaves, Loretta (Lorraine Muthke), Gary (Gary Miller), and Joaquin (Joaquin La Habana) gyrate suggestively across the linoleum until the boss-lady, Angie Stardust (as herself), a regal, "old school" transsexual wrapped in an enormous fur coat, curtails their goofy antics with a whistle and megaphone.
In stern German she orders them back to work—preparing for the next round of abusive food fights, which characterize the "service" at her uniquely unappetizing restaurant. A Theatre of the Ridiculous-style foray into the secret lives of gender outlaw ex-pats in flirty, dirty Berlin, "Lost Souls" isn't your typical romance—but it's a love story all the same.
At the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Kevin Smith created one of festival's biggest sensations for audiences and film buyers alike by announcing he was going to auction off his film Red State after its world premiere screening.
Added to that, the hate-spreading publicity junkies known as the Westboro Baptist Church announced they would be staging a protest in front of the event with their usual "GOD HATES FAGS" signs, which in turn inspired Smith to stage his own protest of the Kansas-based church as a self-proclaimed "FAG ENABLER," which in turn inspired hundreds of people from Park City to make their own signs. Tickets to the movie were rumored to have been scalped for close to a thousand dollars, and the buzz surrounding the situation was truly something I have rarely felt at Sundance.
When Reggie Watts first came to my attention, through a series of appearances on Conan O'Brien's show a few years back, I didn't know where to place him. My first instinct was to lump him in with the trend in music – particularly indie rock – around the looping pedal where solo artists including Owen Pallett and tUnE-YaRds could layer mic samples atop one another during a live performance to get a larger, simulated band sound.

"Welcome to [SF] Sketchfest," Reggie Watts said, in what appeared to be his natural voice, "it's going to be a big night for all of you guys." The first night of his four-part "Reggidency" at the comedy festival was billed as being Just the Music but from before Watts took the stage at Yoshi's SF – giving himself an introduction from behind the the curtain and then launching into a series of characters that wavered from pseudo-unintelligible to borderline familiar (Japanese? Jesse Jackson? Vallejo-ean?) – it was clear that label was Just a Guess. Read more »
TRASH Rejected by audiences. Panned by critics. Beloved by a loyal cadre of alternative comedy fans.

Common knowledge states that if you're serious about becoming a stand-up comedian on the West Coast, you move to Los Angeles. But Frankie Quinones created the diversity of For the People Comedy here in San Francisco and despite his rising star on the stand-up scene, he's sticking around for the moment.
Maybe that's because Carmelita lives here. "She's taken on a whole thing of her own, her own career," says the Ventura County native of his sassed-up, club-going Latina sexpot. "Carmelita's got her own list of things to do in 2012." You can check out Quinones -- and possibly Carmelita or his popular "Cholo Whisperer" skit -- at the next For the People event at Cobb's on Thu/19.

There's certainly no shortage of live comedy in the Bay Area, but you have to hand it to Club Chuckles for keeping it weird. Avoiding line-ups packed with middle-aged men whining about their therapy bills, or cosmonaut princesses with pubic hair obsessions, Club Chuckles can often be found lurking in the rock-saturated shadows of the Hemlock Tavern's back room performance space, infused with the kind of punk rock vibes you'll never pick up at the buttoned-down, two-drink minimum comedy clubs. The sold out, eight-year anniversary show at the considerably swankier digs of the Verdi Club might have been better lit, but the rowdy element still prevailed, as an entire line-up devoted to the comedy of the awkward braved the hecklers to bring the laffs.

|Archaeological Research
I am a teacher and it is my responsibility to prepare students for graduate school or professional employment. I am an archaeologist with thirty years of experience which has influenced and shaped my teaching methodology. My classes are designed to provide students with the total experience of archaeology, from hands-on training to the application of anthropological theory to archaeological datasets. I am involved in many archaeological and historical projects in Texas and New Mexico; some of these include learning more of what life was like for prehistoric hunters and gatherers of central Texas, for 19th-century homesteaders in Texas and New Mexico, and for those who lived in the neighborhood surrounding Baylor University during the first half of the 20th century. I expose my students to numerous ways in which they can bring the past alive. . . not only by using a trowel, but also, by sleuthing through archival records and by discovering the minutia of everyday life depicted in GIS analysis.
Over the past nine years, I have led the Baylor University Archaeological Field School. Since 2011, my students and I have been working in a large rock shelter near Gatesville. The field school provides students with instruction in excavation and laboratory methods, the use of survey equipment, and the application of GIS to archaeological data management and analysis. My students conduct research on some aspect of the field school investigation and I encourage them to present their research at the Annual Meeting of the Texas Archeological Society and at Baylor University's URSA Week. By doing so, students learn that archaeology is not just digging in the dirt, but involves many hours of processing artifacts and analyzing data, conducting additional research and sharing their knowledge with the public.
