Named after a theater that was once located in the area (though a bit farther east), the structure will contain the club, two ground-floor retail spaces and two floors of office space. The nightclub will have a flexible capacity of 750-1,500 people, depending on the type of show. "It's going to be a first-class venue built from the ground up," says Edwards. "It will be as good or better than anything in the Midwest, or anyplace -- at least that's the goal."
The announcement promises to change the St. Louis nightlife atmosphere on a number of fronts. Until a few weeks ago, Hagin's expertise in booking music in the St. Louis area had been divided between Blueberry Hill's Duck Room and, for the past 19 years, Mississippi Nights. Hagin recently quit Mississippi Nights to devote his full attention to the Pageant and the Duck Room. And Mississippi Nights would seem to be the club most affected by this announcement: The Pageant will have a similar capacity, will be located in an area seen as more desirable to the concertgoing public, and is being booked by an ex-employee of the Nights. Mississippi Nights owner Rich Frame says the Pageant is entering a difficult club marketplace and is perhaps making an assumption based on rumors surrounding the future of his club: "I wish them well. I wouldn't count on Mississippi Nights' not being around, though, because who knows? If I thought we weren't going to be around, I wouldn't be making the investment of putting in a new PA. Joe's a good guy. I hope he knows what he's doing; I don't envy him."
Perhaps more important for the big picture, though, is the extension of the Loop eastward into St. Louis proper. Since MetroLink opened, it has always been viewed as simply a matter of time before the Loop extended to connect the station with the hipster shops in the U. City Loop, and the construction of the Pageant will expedite this expansion. "I think it really will attract a lot of retail stores and restaurants," says Edwards. "It's pretty natural. The Loop is almost 100 percent (capacity), and if it happens the way I think it will, it'll be great. I think it will be a nationally recognized area as far as people, when they come to St. Louis, taking the MetroLink out from the Adam's Mark or other hotels. And when they extend it into Belleville, it'll be great for people in Illinois to come over."
Edwards' "eternally optimistic" goal is for the Pageant to be finished and open before the end of the year. (RR)
CHANNEL 77, WHERE ARE YOU? Radio ain't what it used to be, or is it? For anyone awake, semialert and anxious to hear "two hangmen, hanging from a tree" just one more time, tune in 77 on the dial -- that's AM, not FM. Mark Klose is back on the airwaves after leaving KSD (93.7 FM) a few weeks back. This time, Klose, who started on KSHE (94.7) in 1972, is back in total control, mostly. He and Steve Mosier, former mogul at Majic when it was 108, have "bought" the 6-10 a.m. drivetime at the second-oldest radio station in the nation, WEW. (When the station was launched in 1921, the Jesuits, who owned it, said the call letters stood for "We Enlighten the World.") In this incarnation, the show, dubbed Channel 77, will be the product of the "two-man band" of Klose and Mosier. "We'll program it, play it, and go out and sell it," says Klose. "We don't need no stinking format." Klose promises "St. Louis classics" in rock, country-rock, blues, Motown, jazz -- tunes out of the normal FM fare. An example? "I'm going to take Crosby, Stills and Nash, but instead of playing 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,' I'll go deep and play, like, '49 Bye-Byes' or 'Guinevere.'" Guess "deep" is a relative term. Could be worse -- at least it isn't "Almost Cut My Hair." In the good ol' days at KSHE, Klose recalls, if you were on during a rainy morning, you could play two hours of rain music. (Gee, this is something that is best put behind us -- hearing the dreary "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors or, worst of all, "Ridin' the Storm Out" by the insidious REO Speedwagon.) Oh, well. At least Klose will be doing what he wants, and if you don't like it, call him or stop by to complain at the converted two-family flat at Hampton and Southwest avenues from which WEW broadcasts. "They took out the kitchen sink and put in a control board," says Klose. And the best thing about his show? There's still no J.C. Yesss.

180.50 -> 180.51 differences
180.51 additions:
180.50 major bug is that "this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release does not work on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs."
In three days two drivers releases! Viva, NVIDIA!
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
1 Attachment(s)
in addition to that it also seems to work fine in 99% of the cases
despite the libGL.so problem still occuring it's somewhat usable now (crazy) :clap2:
perhaps the bug-report gives you guys a clue why the crashing of that apps is occuring
from what I saw it seems to happen with thunderbird and firefox (compiled) linked against cairo with glitz-support which is (still ?!) needed for compiz-fusion to work and is supposed to be fixed by re-compiling cairo without the glitz-support
besides that also multiget crashes which I've never seen crash before (due to the nvidia driver) and I don't know what role libGL.so plays in that case
I was running an xfce4 (4.6) desktop with compiz(-fusion) and emerald
interestingly kde4-apps don't seem to crash anymore (opengl compositing is enabled for those so it's good news),
I didn't have the chance to test kde4 full-blown desktop with opengl compositing (which used to crash) since currently trunk has some compilation problems and therefore I can't get it to run (pykde4 / kdebindings)
if that helps others:
I changed the USE-flag from gnome to -gnome (system-wide) and re-compiled all packages affected / whole world -> and that seemed to make a change, too (could also be placebo and due to the big changes in the new nvidia driver)
anyways :beer: thanks ! (urock)
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
It's a bit unrelated, but since we're talking about driver differences... Do the 180.50 and 180.51 drivers have the "allows pixmaps smaller than 32x32 pixels to be placed in video memory." feature found in 185.19?
That feature has greatly improved my laptop's performance, but I'd rather use something more stable like 180.51 if that driver also has it.
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
I don't know what was different yesterday from today but I'm still (again) getting tons of those libGL.so general protection errors
besides that can anyone confirm that VirtualBox doesn't work when 180.51 is loaded ?
for me it just sat there with a window and blank (no) content
anyways I'm back to 180.29 :(
it seems to be a an specific problem to VirtualBox it also doesn't load with 180.29
version in question is 2.2.0
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
but I'll give it a try
thanks :)
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
I maintain compiz-fusion in fedora and we do not even have cairo with glitz support available ;)
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
I guess this means (welcome) for me :p
so all of those dependencies are re-compiled right now ...
Re: 180.50 -> 180.51 differences
1) I re-compiled cairo without glitz (-glitz in its use-flags) and immediately after that cairo
2) following after that I re-compiled all of pango's and cairo's dependencies (equery d cairo; equery d pango) and now no more general protection or segfault anymore :)
so for those gtk-apps (could also be kde-apps with gnome-support compiled in) causing lots of libGL.so general protection messages in the logs and crashing (somehow being triggered by drivers from nvidia >180.29 to 180.51 right now)
this fixed it (nana2)
firefox and mozilla-thunderbird are now working fine, too (just as I posted somewhere else in this forum that compiling cairo without glitz use-flag would fix it) - no more crashing
instruction how to fix it:
those encountering those crashes and running compiz-fusion from desktop-effects overlay do the steps above (cairo without glitz; pango and cairo deps; eventually also kde-apps with gnome-support or others with gnome-support) and the following:
(ebuild compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.2 digest)
then re-emerge compiz-plugins-extra and any other remaining packages depending on cairo or pango
that should get your system in a working (non-crashing) state :nana: :naughty:

Brewing Tips
- Clean your equipment regularly to help prevent the build up of mineral deposits.
- Your cup of coffee is only as good as the water that's used. If your water tastes bad, your coffee tastes worse.
- Coffee should be stored refrigerated to maintain freshness in an airtight container.
- Always use the proper grind for the equipment that you're using.
- Distribute coffee evenly in the filter bag.
- Once brewed, coffee is at its most delicious.
- If you want to drink your hot coffee later, pour it into a preheated thermos right after brewing.
- Once the vacuum seal is open, keep your coffee in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the coffee to maintain freshness.
- When coffee is opened, it will remain fresh and ideally be consumed within three weeks.
- Buy your coffee on a regular basis, only as you need it.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tobunk great TV for the money great tv considering the cost, picture is excellent. I have run into one issue with the HDMI ports tho, HDMI inputs are flakey at best, occasionally I see "no signal" and have to "reboot" the tv. updated the firmware, it resolved the issue for a day or so, but then the issue re-appeared. January 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoeSchmoe Cool TV Its an awesome TV, I like LG's sleek design. I love that it has ethernet not just WiFi. I use Netflix and ethernet is best. However, I do WISH they added Amazon VOD on this TV. If it had Amazon VOD it would be a PREFECT TV. Maybe it will be added in a new firmware update. October 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by dmaninfwtx best tv I have ever owned I purchased this TV after I had so many problems with my Mitsubishi TV. I love the picture quality and the ease of setup and functions. The performance of the TV is great! The sound is very good too. I have no complaints about this TV. LG produces a great product! September 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by SugarGuy Excellent LG TV! I have owned two other tvs both of which were plasma and decided to take a chance on this LG television. I am happy to say I was not letdown one bit. The picture quality is great as well as the ease of use. My favorite by far is Netcast were I can rent movies from Vudu or watch Netflix streaming right on my tv. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a great 60 inch television with an amazing picture at a great price! October 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by mrsbear236 Awesome TV I normally don't write reviews, but other people's reviews is what encouraged me to choose this product over others that we were considering. We have this TV about 9 months now and are very happy with it. It has an amazing picture even without HD digital cable. I love the wireless feature, we are able to connect to netcast without hooking a laptop to the TV. We watch Netflix quite a bit and all we have to do is push a button on the remote & choose the movie we want to watch. We were very pleased with LG's service department. We had a problem with the screen about a month ago, we called for service and the repairman came right to the house & fixed the problem. The repairman was very informative about the product & was very courteous. He assured us that the screen issue was very rare with LG TV's, so I researched the problem on the internet. He was right, I couldn't find any other complaints for the issue that we had. I would definitely purchase this product again & would recommend it to a friend! October 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tasdom ZERO REGRETS!!!!! I've owned several HDTV's from other manufactures as well as other LG items (Blu-Ray, Refrigerator,etc...)but this is by far the best 60" tv that I have ever purchased. The picture quality is excellent and 4 HDMI inputs allowed for all of my compoments to be connected in HD. The styling as well as the features will not disapoint even the most critical consumer. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS OR ANY LG PRODUCT AS THE VALUE, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RELIABILITY CAN NOT BE BEAT!! September 20, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by QuasarZ71 Not reliable I really like the Netcast feature built into this TV. It has a excellent feature set. This product is not reliable though. After several month is started shutting off randomly. The problem escalated. LG's warranty services were called and 41 days later it was repaired. June 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by rickkim01082 best tv ever purchased picture is out of this world,packed with features and completly wireless with an-wl1oow and an-wf100 i looked at all the lcds out there #1 by far March 1, 2011

The Kardashians
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick Are "Better Than Ever," Says Kim Kardashian
Drama? Heartbreak? Alcohol abuse? Not in the Kardashian-Disick household!
Despite recent reports that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's relationship has fallen on hard times thanks to Scott's non-stop partying, sister Kim Kardashian says the two are experiencing nothing but (almost) wedded bliss.
"They are better than ever," Kim told Us Weekly. "I feel bad Scott gets such a bad rap. Good thing they're too busy being parents to pay attention to nonsense!"
Just last month, Kourtney herself told Us that she and Scott were doing just fine. "We were saying recently we're the happiest we've been in a long time," she said.

Install option
I realise that but the reason I ask is I'd like a distro where you can choose to install onto reiser4 from the beginning. Suppose I'll probably have to wait until after 2.6.0 final is released for this to become an option in major distros.
Ooops- sorry!
Sorry about that- my previous post was meant to be a reply to the reiser4 distro question I posted so I would appreciate it if the moderator could move it there and then delete this thread please.

The Mocs placed second in the Southern Conference Championships at the end of October and will look to improve upon their 12th place region ranking. Seniors Nathan Wanuch (Mississauga, Ontario) and Lucas Cotter (Collierville, Tenn.) earned all-conference honors while rookie Trevor Janssen (Jordan Station, Ontario) was named the league's Freshman of the Year.
Wanuch took third in the men's 8K race while Cotter was 12th to make it to the league's all-conference second team. Janssen, who has continued to climb higher in the team standings throughout the season, was the first freshman across the line and 18th overall.
Sophomores Drew Austell (Memphis, Tenn.) and John Gilpin (Nashville, Tenn.) along with freshman Paul Stuart (Brentwood, Tenn.) will run for the Mocs Friday while senior Mark Cole (McKenzie, Tenn.) will make his return to the course after missing the season due to injury.
The women's team, led by all-conference performer sophomore Amanda Sumner (Bristol, Conn.), who finished sixth overall in her first league competition. She was followed by newcomer Teghan Henderson (Pickering, Ontario) who earned a spot on the SoCon's all-freshman team as the third rookie across the finish line.
Sophomore Keeley Stewart (Winchester, Tenn.) is looking to rebound after stumbling and falling at the SoCon championships where she crawled across the line to help Chattanooga to a seventh place finish. Seniors Mary Cumbee (Brentwood, Tenn.) and Kathryn Stuart (Brentwood, Tenn.) will look to make a mark in their final region competition. The pair will complete their degrees and graduate this December after just three-and-a-half years. Freshman Helenka Kis (Columbia, Tenn.) and junior Morgan Buchanan (Johnson City, Tenn.) will round out the line up for Chattanooga.

As reported in our daily news post this morning, Jeremy Roenick spoke to RDS about the P.K. Subban situation, as well as the Habs in general.
As much as I have to agree with the generalities he states about Subban, I simply can not avoid commenting on the outrageous remarks that he's made on the Habs. And not just in the RDS article but also in the December 29th edition of his blog.
For those who might be interested, his blog is humbly called: "The World according to JR", and can be found on the NHL's official web site.
Erik Cole
Here's what JR had to say about Cole:
1) "Erik Cole has had a decent season, but he doesn't have anybody to play with that can match his speed".
2) "Erik Cole est également un excellent joueur, mais il est avant tout un très bon complément."
Well, this one will be easy. Erik Cole is simply having a career year; over 82 games, he's set to have his best year ever in terms of goals scored, assists, points, PP goals (even though the Habs have had the worst PP all year) and shots on net.
You're right JR; this would have to be considered a "decent" season.
Habs have no playmaker
Here's what Mr. Roenick had to say about Tomas Plekanec: "The Canadiens don't have a playmaker every night that sets up their goal scorers...Tomas Plekanec, who might be their best playmaker, is two games on, one game off, two games off, one game on."
I will assume that JR would have a different opinion would the Habs have the luxury of counting of a first line centerman such as Vincent Lecavalier, Ryan Kesler, John Tavares or Patrick Marleau.
Well, since 2009-10 and in over 200 regular season games, Plekanec has had more assists than all these "big names", and in less games than each of them.
During that period of time, Plekanec ranks 16th in the league. See chart below:
Habs a very small team
Here's the un-researched (that's polite, no?) comment that our favorite new NHL blogger made to RDS: "En plus d'un manque de talent, le Canadien forme une petite équipe alors que, dans notre ère, les joueurs sont gros, forts et talentueux. C'est difficile pour eux de gagner régulièrement en raison de ce facteur."
And he added the following on his blog, in the article stated earlier: "The Canadiens also are a very small team that gets pushed around too much. Their lack of size and speed in the big and fast NHL forces them to work extra hard to win games. That's never a recipe for extended success."
Well, if you look at the chart pasted below, the Habs are the ninth heaviest team in the league. Also, all 30 teams are either 6'0" or 6'1" on average, and the Habs fall under the 6'1" category.
With Michael Blunden, Rene Bourque, Cole, Lars Eller, Travis Moen and Max Pacioretty all being forwards over 6'2", how can someone who follows hockey not know that Montreal can no longer be considered a "small team" up front? One could argue they have a "shortish" center line, but Roenick's comment was about the whole team.
On defense, only the two Swiss countrymen, Diaz and Weber, are under 6'0" (both are 5'11).
How can one say the Habs are still a small team? I certainly don't feel they get pushed around too much. Has anyone else had that feeling lately? Is Montreal still a "small" vulnerable team?
The numbers say no, but what do you say?

Recent Virginia Beach reviews
"My family took our first vacation together in June 2014 to Virginia. This house is absolutely awesome!! It was more than we expected. The owners attention to the smallest details were amazing. The kitchen is FULLY stocked, even down to having little silver spoons for my babies to eat with. I'm one of those people that gets "weirded out" if I have to sleep in someone else's bed, but this place was soooo clean that it felt like home. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk. There are tons of great restaurants close by and I even found a Target. I could go on and on about the great things this home has to offer (POOL AND ELEVATOR!!!) just know that my family will be back next year and we can't wait!"Guest: Jennifer G.

"Plenty of room in this 2 bedroom, cute and comfortable condo. Two minute walk to the beach! It was nice to go to the beach and be able to walk back for lunch and return again! The beach isn't overcrowded. Very clean pool in the courtyard with attractive Palm trees. Very convenient to have a washer& dryer in the condo also. Nice, safe area of Virginia Beach. Close to the boardwalk to drive.or bike ride. Great relaxing week! Thank you!!"Guest: Monica . Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 17, 2014View listing
"We stayed here with 13 people ages ranging from 2-56. We had a wonderful time. There was a ton of room for everyone. We loved the back yard especially the hot tub. Beware the house is technically not on the ocean because there is a street in between but it certainly doesn't take away from the view. The pictures are very accurate. A few small negatives.... 1. There is hardly any insulation between levels and while sleeping on the second floor you can hear squeeking and talking from upstairs. 2. Sheets are not included in the price. 3. The mermaids are a little much.. we counted 116 mermaid plus other knick knacks. It didn't bother us but could be perceived as a little much."Guest: Katie Date of Stay: May 2013 Review Submitted: May 9, 2013View listing
"A beautiful beach home that is as described. We are a family that doesn't just stay in the house, we do tourist activities,too. The house was easily accessible for all our day trips. Lizette was great to work with prior to our arrival as well as during our stay. When I told Lizette that there were cooking utensils missing, she purchased some and brought them to the house. She was very willing to offer suggestions of restaurants to try in the area. The house is great for large groups. We were able to sit together at meal times and to sit, relax, and talk. It seemed that all bases were covered, there were things to do in the house as well as beach chairs to take to the beach. It was great to be so close to the beach. We were able to go to the beach to watch the sunrise. We also got to watch the dolphins on those early morning excursions. I didn't really think we would be able to see the dolphins and was pleasantly surprised when we did. Beautiful home with great people to work with. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!"Guest: Sonya K. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 30, 2014View listing

Jail Hanging Provides ACLU a Pawn In Its Spat with City
Categories: Community, Follow That Story
|Someone's credibility hangs in the balance. Question is: Is it the city's or the ACLU's?
After all, the ACLU itself has also been on the ropes -- so to speak -- since soon after it issued a 74-page report last week lambasting conditions in the city's jails.
The ACLU's claims of mistreatment, squalor and other injustices relied heavily on interviews from six anonymous corrections officers. One of those tipsters was soon identified as Darious Young, who the corrections department previously disciplined for using excessive force and later fired in 2008 for violating department rules. City corrections' superintendent Gene Stubblefield claims that he's identified two more anonymous informants and that they, too, have been disciplined in the past for violating rules and failing to report incidents.
Now the death of David Dalton, 29, has given the ACLU new ammo in its fight with the city. Dalton hanged himself with bedsheets Monday night. Apparently he had grown despondent after learning that a plea agreement would send him back to prison for a robbery conviction. But whatever tragic realities led Dalton to kill himself, it's unlikely he intended himself to become a pawn in the ACLU's fight with the city.
Sadly, that's exactly what's happened.
Yesterday, the civil rights' agency released a statement calling on the U.S. Attorney's office or the Department of Justice to investigate whether the hanging death is part of a broader pattern at the jails.
"Given recent revelations, the St. Louis community cannot rely on an internal investigation to uncover all the facts," said ACLU's Reditt Hudson in the release issued Tuesday. "The ACLU of Eastern Missouri calls on independent authorities to investigate this death and the pattern of abuse and neglect which appears to exist in our jails."
Meanwhile, the city argues that Dalton was not on suicide watch and had been checked on minutes earlier only to be found reading a book in his cell.
What will prosecutors eventually do? The Post-Dispatch reported last week that the offices of the St. Louis Circuit Attorney and the U.S. Attorney of Eastern Missouri were looking into the claims made last week by the ACLU. But then, those offices are required to look into all claims and complaints brought to their attention.

Martha disappoints
Posted By Alison On Feb 14, 2008 @ In Emotions,News & Research | 14 Comments
Last week I wrote about Martha Stewart's competition that could potentially launch a magazine for people with food sensitivities.
The allergy-free magazine idea won 57% of the popular vote, but they declared a tie between it and a pet-centered magazine and pet products. On TV Martha practically brushed off the allergy-free idea (see the video), saying that they will include allergy-free recipes in their current publications, so clearly no new publication will be launched. Oh, except the pet one. With pet products. I guess we food-allergic and intolerant people aren't viewed as marketable.
We are marketable, Martha and everybody else, we are! We pay more for our special foods, we buy allergy-free cookbooks, we buy online, we would gladly pay more for a special meal at a restaurant if it were offered. Do you have something we need? We'll buy it! C'mon, Martha, you can think of some way to make money off of us, can't you??
Martha chose the idea that would make more money — I suppose there are more pets than food-allergic people, and think about all those color-coordinated monogrammed dog collars that will sell like hotcakes! But I really wish, given her status in our society, that she had chosen instead to make a real difference in people's lives.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is on the Move
C 111 exhibition opens
Press Release
The Countdown Is On!
- The new Mercedes-Benz Museum will open in 447 days
- C 111 exhibition opens the "The Countdown Is On!" program
Without affecting normal museum operations, exhibits will be regularly removed from the Museum from now on. They will be replaced with unique pieces and rarities from the Company's own extensive collection, many of which have never been on display before. "In the last year before its reopening, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is more vital than ever before. With a large number of treasures and special features, we have made the Museum particularly attractive right now," said Wolfgang Rolli, Director of the current Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Throughout the whole of 2005, in addition to the C 111, there will be a range of small special exhibitions at exclusive events, on subjects such as "Mercedes Simplex", "50 Years of the 190 SL", "Famous Supercharged Vehicles", "Mile Millionaires", etc. There will also be an increasing number of particularly rare vehicles on display, which will be loaned from private collections and relevant club groups, and so can only take a place in the Mercedes-Benz Museum temporarily. "For the first time, this last year in the old premises allows us to use the Museum in a much more dynamic way, making a visit particularly worthwhile right now," Rolli continued.
The one-year relocation phase for exhibition pieces is necessary as all the vehicles have to be thoroughly checked and cleaned at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach. Some of them even need maintenance work or partial restoration. After all, they need to be ready on time to be admired in their full glory as the "crown jewels" of the new Mercedes-Benz Museum.

By Cinema Reloaded | Cinema Reloaded - Rotterdam Film Festival September 16, 2010 at 8:43AM
I've never seen orson welles' films on big screen. The festival is showing five of his films so I'd like to see them all.
The film started with the opening credit 'A Mercury Production" read out in Russian. I thought, oh no... Turned out that there's an overwhelming Russian voice on top of the original English dialogue. The translation was always uttered in an emotional fashion that went with the lines. The male voice would assume all the male characters (including Kane as a boy) and a female voice would come in when there's a female character. Many are used to watching films that way. Films are dictated to them.

The second volume of WONDER WOMAN was recently released in hardcover, and we were able to get our hands on a copy of our very own. As a huge fan of this series we were pretty excited about reading it for the first time and seeing whether putting some money down for a hardcover edition of this series was worth it. Having checked it out and re-reading the series, there is no doubt that this Wonder Woman hardcover is fantastic and having it collected makes it extremely easy to read. Having said that, it did have it's share of problems.
This series is great, the story is exciting and interesting, but one of the problems I found was that it starts at a very odd place. Beginning the volume with issue #7 feels a bit awkward and feels like you are jumping in at the middle of the story arc. You are introduced to certain new characters in previous issues of WONDER WOMAN that are interesting, but if you are new to the series you might find yourself wondering who they are and how they fit into the overall story.== TEASER ==
One of the cool things about the collected edition of this trade is the fact that the publisher managed to include the penciled version of each one of Cliff Chiang's covers from issue's #7 through #12. It gives us a bit of insight into the way that Chiang works; the fact that he is able to illustrate without really sketching anything out is kind of impressive.
In addition to getting a look at the unfinished covers to the series, we also get several pages of character designs and concept art that had been created for the series. While it is really great, and it is nice to see how the character designs came to be and read the notes associated with the character and concept designs. Our only real complaint is that there aren't very many pages of that, here.
If you have been a fan of this series then you absolutely should get this as part of your collection. If you are not yet a fan or haven't been reading then this may not necessarily be the Wonder Woman collection for you. If you're new to WONDER WOMAN we definitely recommend picking up the Volume one hardcover first as it feels more like a cohesive story that doesn't just start in the middle of everything. I was hoping to at least see a prologue or an epilogue from the writer or someone else invested in the creation of this volume, but unfortunately there isn't anything like that here. Sadly, you only get six extra pages of character sketches and concept art -- which isn't very many -- and I think it would have been nice to have a small blurb from the series' artist discussing his inspiration for the different character designs, but we don't get anything like that either.
Essentially, if you want this series collected in hardcover then by all means pick it up. It's a great compliment if you already have the first volume. However, if you're a new reader, you probably do not want to start here as you miss out on a lot of the story.

William Morris "Billy" Nicholls Jr (born 15 February 1949, White City, Hammersmith, London) is an English singer, songwriter, record producer, and musical director. He was born into a musical family, his father Billy Nicholls (Sr.) being a double bassist and big band singer, performing with such groups as The Squadronairs. Billy first gained fame in the 1960s while still a teenager with his Pet Sounds-influenced album, Would You Believe, originally released on Immediate Records.[1]
Nicholls' compositions have been covered by many artists. His first success came in 1977 when Leo Sayer covered "I Can't Stop Loving You (Though I Try)"; it rose to No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart. Nicholls wrote several of the tracks for the film McVicar (starring Roger Daltrey) including "Without Your Love", which was a success in the United States.
An American southern rock group, the Outlaws, recorded "I Can't Stop Loving You" on their 1980 release Ghost Riders. More recently, Phil Collins also recorded "I Can't Stop Loving You" and it proved successful as a U.S. single, appearing on several of his albums, and Collins included it in his last world tour.
A longtime acquaintance and occasional collaborator with Pete Townshend, Nicholls toured with The Who in 1989 and 1996–1997, serving as backup singer and music director; he also provided backing vocals for the band's version of "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", which appeared on the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin.
In 2003, Nicholls received an ASCAP award for "I Can't Stop Loving You". Keith Urban recorded the song in 2006 on his fifth studio album.
In 2009 a promo copy of Would You Believe was sold on eBay for £7,312.[2]
Nicholls set up Southwest Records in 1998 and has released seven albums featuring his own work. He has contributed backing vocals for many friends and artists over the years, including uncredited backing vocals on The Nice's 1967 debut single "Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack".
He is the father of musician Morgan Nicholls, singer songwriter Amy Fay Nicholls, and film-maker Will Nicholls.

I'm only vaguely interested in history, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get into this one. I'm on season two and boy, am I hooked. It is riveting TV, even though much of the plot is known already. Henry is played with charm, charisma and a touch of evilness that makes it impossible to love him completely, but also impossible to turn away. His quest for power is addictive and the men (and women) around him seem to feed off of his need for world domination. Sexy and biting, this show is much more than just history. Now, whether it's accurate in its historical tellings, that is something I will leave to the experts.
Posts Tagged: affair
A poignant drama about a wife who cheats and a husband who finds out. This simple premise turns very dark and deadly, when the movie really takes off and sets the audience on an emotional roller coaster. Unfaithful shows what the pain of an affair can do to a couple…how both the betrayed and the betrayer feel toward each other and toward themselves. The performances of Richard Gere and Diane Lane as the seemingly happy husband and wife are stunning…nothing they say or do seems overly forced or too overdone. The scene on the train after Lane first has her extramarital encounter showcases what a brilliant and underrated actress she really is. The ending leaves everything up in the air, which I did not like at first but after more thought, I came to see that leaving things open is best. Emotions do not always have easy answers, so then why should a movie with so many emotions end neatly?
A classic love story, based on the award-winning novel by A.S. Byatt. Told in both the present time and Victorian times, Byatt's story and characters leap off of the pages and director Neil LaBute captures that same vividness in the film. Aaron Eckhart and Gwyneth Paltrow play academics in modern-day England and while they research the relationship between two historical lovers, they fall in love themselves. LaBute does a great job of combining the past and present elements throughout the movie—scenes go seamlessly from historical times to the present day. LaBute lends equal time to both eras, allowing each love story to evolve in its own way…at its own pace. Beautiful scenery and lush dialogue enhance the emotions of this timeless love story.
When I took screenwriting classes in college, I always wondered if I would make it in Hollywood. One of the reasons I never did is that I do not write like Woody Allen. I'm not always a fan of Allen…most of his recent films have been so-so comedies (with the exception of the unique Melinda and Melinda), but Match Point is one of the best films I've ever seen, and most assuredly the best film of 2005, in my opinion. Why? How about this…not a word is out of place and there is nothing extra that should be in the film and nothing that shouldn't. It's a perfectly constructed film all the way around, I attest solely to Allen's writing. The actors are good in their roles but I wouldn't say that's what "made" the film for me. Allen just simply has a way of working a story so it seems so easy and so perfect at the same time. It is a neat, clean circle…the story starts off with one thread and that thread runs through the entire film but in a subtle way until the ending, when you realized, "OH, I get it." The story revolves around a young tennis pro who gets a job at an upper class athletic club and soon makes friends with one of the members…an affluent young man who has both a pretty, demure sister and a beautiful, sultry fiancée. The tennis pro falls for the sister but really falls hard for the fiancée. What happens from there leads to a complex, intricate series of events that keep the audience guessing at every turn. The ending, unlike most films I've seen recently, will not disappoint or ruin the masterfulness of this film. What happens right up to the last second will only increase how strong this film is…which is proof of Allen's genius.
Mike Nichols' controversial film about Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman, in his film debut), a recently out of college lost-soul who begins an affair with his parent's friend, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), just out of boredom. The affair allows him to procrastinate on other important decisions like graduate school and/or getting a job, much to his parents' chagrin. More problems occur when he falls in love with the Robinsons' daughter, Elaine (Katherine Ross). This film did as much for the 1960's rebellion as it did for both the careers of Simon and Garfunkel and Mike Nichols, who earned an Oscar for his cutting edge direction.
The film that forced married men to think twice before straying…as well as reviving Michael Douglas' acting career…is a top-notch thriller. It got a lot of attention when it came out in 1987 because of its graphic violence and (especially) sexuality. Sometimes, when you strip the controversy from a film, what you're left with is a movie that really was not worth all of the attention. I would say that is not true here…this is a great film that knows how to convey fear to the audience. Never would I say something is Hitchcockian (I believe that NOTHING will ever be worthy of that label since the Master of Suspense was, just that, a Master…the one and only), but I think that IF Hitchcock would have been working in 1987, he might have made a film in this same vein. The vein being a continual threat of menacing terror that keeps growing and growing until it just cannot do anything else other than explode! So, watch this one for the thrills…not for the attention it got when it came out. And, whatever you do, please do not call it Hitchcockian. If necessary…maybe pseudo-Hitchcockian, or semi-Hitchcockian? But, only if necessary!
Since I wrote a post on the 2003 version, here's my post for the 2009:
As I wrote in my post for the 2003 BBC TV production of this tale, it is a well-done, intense political thriller…that is a must see. This one is about 4 hours shorter than the British TV production, but it is just as taut and gripping as the first…maybe even better since it does that same job in a feature film length. Keeping most of the story in tact, this version has a congressman caught in a sex scandal with a murdered young researcher from his office. The congressman's former roommate is a reporter who is on the story and trying his best to keep both his loyalties to his congressman friend and his newspaper job. Like All the President's Men, this film really takes you inside the inner workings of a Washington D.C.'s newspaper office…keeping the nightmare pace and the cutthroat-ness in tact. I'm sure the newspaper biz is hectic and frantic in most of the country, but add in the turmoil of political and you get a hellish frenzy. Excellent performances by all make this movie a fabulous political and journalistic thriller. Watch both versions and compare for yourself!
I know the point of this blog is to highlight films on DVD — and the 2009 version of State of Play is still in theaters, as of today (May 6, 2009). But, the 2003 BBC production of this story is on DVD — and Niles owns it. So, in the meantime, while you're waiting for the 2009 version to hit Niles' shelves on DVD, do yourself a favor and check out the 2003 version. I'm not saying it's better than the new version — it's just different. More intense and more gripping — mostly because it's 6 hours — compared the the new version's 2 hour running time.
A well-done, intense political thriller that delves deep into the heart of British politics and journalism. Two friends…one a writer at a major London newspaper and the other a member of Parliament…get entwined in a series of twists and turns that do not let up until the very end. Extremely well-acted, this series will keep you guessing until the final scene…literally. In addition to the great performances, the writing is top-notch…fast and intense — the fast-paced script crackles with wit and is chocked filled with details about politics and insights on the "rag" trade. For anyone who likes thrillers, this one is a must see!
The magical combination of Cary Grant and Doris Day adds to this charming and quirky script about an unemployed woman (Day) whose life is never the same again after Grant's limo accidentally splashes water on her, as she was waiting to cross the street. Gig Young co-stars as Grant's assistant and his role adds the majority of laughs to the movie, whereas Grant and Day add the romance. This film sealed Day's fate as the "perpetual virgin" of the 1960s, as she is afraid to even be in the same room alone with handsome Grant. She even breaks out in a rash when she believes he might try something!
An American businessman (Cary Grant) visiting London falls in love with a London stage actress (Ingrid Bergman). The only problem is that he is married…or is he? This confusion leads to a hilarious ending of mistaken identity and comical twists. This is Grant and Bergman's second pairing (the first being 1946's Notorious). Years have not affected this duo's chemistry at all, allowing them to portray characters just as passionate and in love as they did over a decade earlier.

Whether it arrives via an artist's song lyrics, ad-libs or in the form of a routine sound while performing on stage, your favorite rappers and singers are constantly dropping consumable anecdotes for the masses. If they're lucky, these catchphrases are repeated and mimicked often enough to eventually be added to the popular-culture lexicon, used as amusing mantras for us all to drop in text messages and into tweets as #hashtags. Some might even make it into the dictionary.
This year, especially, delivered a treasure trove of jack-able artist quotes, and while you might wish that most of these never make it into 2013, we present you with a nostalgic look at this year in music verbiage: 2012's Most Memorable One-Liners.
We've seen the tattoos and we've heard the stories of it tragically back-firing, so there's certainly no denying that Drake's (or Rick Ross'?) You Only Live Once motto wasn't one of the biggest this year.
2. "(Pop A) Molly"
We can all rattle off a list of rappers who (over)used this designer drug reference in 2012, but here's hoping that Meek, Kanye, French, Trinidad James, Ross and others can find a new addiction to flaunt come January 1.
3. "Oh God"
Like a cheerleader for himself, Detroit's G.O.O.D Music member Big Sean knows how to announce himself before spitting a verse. Alternate spellings include gawd and gaud.
4. "That's that sh*t I don't like"
Co-opted by Kanye, Chief Keef's declaration of what displeases him helped us all find our voices while making it's way into all forms of communication this year.
5. "…maybe?"
Thanks to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" success, loads of people were jokingly slipping self-doubt in conversations, adding a quick dot-dot-dot-maybe after a would-be assertive sentence. Like the song's parody appeal, the quip's irony may have hit an expiration date.
6. "Ya Bish"
Kendrick Lamar's "Money Trees" is not only a good kid, m.A.A.d city track favorite, but it spawned widespread usage of his edited version of the word "bitch."
7. "At The Same Damn Time"
For the mutli-taskers out there, this contribution to slang was especially useful, allowing us to convey that we are able to do two+ tasks at once. All the gratitude goes to Future.
8. "Truuuu"
A sound effect that's reverberated for months, 2 Chainz' "Truuuu" reinvented the wheel by removing the "e" from an age-old form of agreement, allowing Tity Boi to employ a sonic staple on tracks.
9. "Bitch, you wasn't with me shootin' in the gym"
After Kobe Bryant divorce rumors spread, Drake popped shit and apologized to Vanessa Bryant in his "Stay Schemin'" verse, asserting that Kobe shouldn't have to share his wealth. In turn, we all began filling in the blank; "bitch, you wasn't with me bloggin' in the office!"
10. #LifeIsGood
Returning to hip hop's formal playing field, Nas delivered his Life Is Good album in 2012 and made sure fans heard his positive mantra throughout the duration of the LP, and in all of his promo messaging. Salute!
11. "Bandz A Make Her Dance"
This strip club anthem was bestowed upon us by Juicy J, and again inspiring fill-in-the-blank humor, folks took it upon themselves to list quite a few other things that make the ladies dance.
12. *Grunt*
My friend has the Rick Ross grunt as her incoming text sound, and she's (arguably) a hipster. Need I say more?
13. "Ain't Nobody F*cking With My Clique"
As as result of another G.O.O.D Music entry, we now have a cooler way of referring to our group of friends in a boastful way. If you're a fan of the remix, you already know the translation.
14. "Yuuup!"
We can attribute this next one to the homieTrey Songz. Scantily clad Tremaine is always good for yelling it over tracks and at shows.
15. "Shine Bright Like a Diamond"
In her Unapologetic lead single, Rihanna sang her hook in Sia's australian accent, and magic occurred thereafter. You may have even used the diamond emoji to convey this message of excellence.
Honorable Mention
PSY's "Sexy ladies," Miguel's "Adorn" noise that sounds like "wopp," Chris Brown's "Leggo," and Taylor Swift's "Like, ever."

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2006 "Silver Star Families of America" has one focus: America's war wounded.
"Our main mission is to make sure that the wounded of our armed forces are remembered," the group's founder Steven Newton said.
Newton, of Clever, Mo., founded the organization April 1, 2005, to establish a service banner that recognizes wounded American servicemembers of all conflicts. The idea was patterned after Gold Star Wives of America and Blue Star Mothers of America Inc. -- groups that recognize spouses of servicemembers who die on active duty and the parents of children in the military, respectively.
Newton said he has made strides in initiating legislation to get the Silver Star banner recognized by Congress.
"I've been fighting this battle for a couple of years ... to get the government to recognize it as an official banner," he said. "I've talked to the military, ... but it has to be an act of Congress."
While SSFA waits for the legislation to work its way through the system, it's already distributing certificates of appreciation and Silver Star banners to wounded veterans, Newton said. The banners can be requested from SSFA and, with reasonable proof of injury and adequate funding to provide them, they're issued.
If funds were to run short, the organization would present a certificate and tell people to buy the banner on SSFA's Web site, Newton said. However, "We've been very fortunate that we have had not had to turn anybody down," he said, adding that hundreds of banners have been sent out.
The profits from what is sold or received in donations are put right back into SSFA, so the group can continue its mission. No money is kept for overhead, Newton said. Newton, a former police chief with both Navy and Marine Corps active-duty service, uses the profits from sales of "The Old Sergeant," a book he authored, to pay for banners.
SSFA considers assisting wounded veterans in any way possible another part of its mission, Newton said. Mostly this means that when a banner is sent, a case of goodies is sent either to the individual or to the hospital where the servicemember is recuperating. The package is filled with donated books, CDs, phone cards and other items SSFA receives.
The organization, seeking nonprofit status, provides information on how to donate on its Web site. Currently, SFFA operates with "Soldiers' Angels," another non-profit troop-support organization founded by an SSFA member.
SSFA's 60 members take special pride in their goal to support America's wounded veterans, Newton said. "The medals fade away and tarnish, but there was nothing to make the country remember the blood sacrifice," he said. "If (Americans) drive by a (Veterans Affairs) nursing home or a hospital and they see that silver star (banner) and that makes them remember about the wounded, we've done our job."

The Winterim program provides the opportunity for an in-depth learning experience that is experiential in nature and promotes a sense of connection, discovery, inquiry and reflection. By suspending regular classes and by breaking the constraints of our schedule, we have the opportunity to work across disciplines and grade levels.
Winterim will focus around the school's theme of ubuntu. Ubuntu challenges us to look beyond ourselves and explore the essence of humanity. It requires both an intellectual and personal investigation of ideas. Spending a week in deep exploration of a topic or theme that speaks to ubuntu will be a unique experience for students and faculty alike as it changes the way we view the world and understand ourselves.
Each student will enroll in one course this year that will span the four-day period. The courses will consist of classroom instructions and discussion, traveling to locations throughout the city that pertain to the course topic, meeting with experts in various fields, and thinking in ways that expand both our knowledge and our perspective.

What is syphilis?
Syphilis is a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by an infection of the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis can also be spread to a fetus by an infected mother during pregnancy. A simple blood test can check for this bacterial infection.
Syphilis can be prevented and is easily treated in its early stages. Despite this, its transmission both through sexual contact and during pregnancy has been on the rise in the United States in recent years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Source: CDC).
Any person of any age who engages in sexual activity can contract and pass on syphilis. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual men and women. The more sexual partners a person has, the greater the risk of catching a syphilis infection.
Left untreated, a syphilis infection can stay in the body for years and progress to serious or life-threatening complications, such as dementia, aortic aneurysm, and stillbirth in a pregnant woman. Using safer sex practices, seeking regular medical care, and seeking early, regular prenatal care can help reduce the risk of serious complications of syphilis.

Waiiiit, what is this? Are Justin Timberlake and Rihanna secretly an item?! This is news to us (and we bet it's news to Jessica Biel), but the rumor mill is hard at work trying to prove that the pop stars are in fact dating. Today a source noted to Showbiz Spy that "Justin and Rihanna have been seeing each other for the past few weeks," and the rag also mentions that the couple were featured in a blind item in the New York Daily News recently that read, "two pop stars made sweet music together after the gal gave the guy a private lap dance" at a New York club. One witness corroborated the story, saying, "It was at 10ak in NYC and they left together. They are seeing each other on the low!"
This would be huge – imagine what a super-couple these two would make. We're keeping a close eye on these kids to see what happens. [Photos: GettyImages]
