Kevin Costner dropped by the 25th-anniversary celebrations for "Field of Dreams" in northeast Iowa on Friday, and naturally, he had a catch with his sons.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports (http://bit.ly/1kxxn41 ) hundreds of onlookers watched as Costner played catch with his boys, 7-year-old Cayden and 5-year-old Hayes. The movie fans clapped when the boys made a play, prompting Costner to note, "We don't usually have this many people when we do this."
Costner and other actors traveled to the field near Dyersville in northeast Iowa to celebrate the 1989 movie about an Iowa farmer who carved a baseball field out of his corn crop.
Here's the pertinent scene from the movie itself.

text: Over my many years of smoking and making cannafoods I have finally come to the conclusion that this is the best firecracker recipe. I have tried multiple other firecracker recipes and have only gotten effects ranging from nothing to a mild body high and sedation. A few nights ago I tried these firecrackers with an excessive amount of weed (2g+) and sure enough a little over an hour later I felt almost as if I were tripping balls. However it was too much weed and I ended up getting the spins (don't ask me how, 1st time weed spins for me - I smoke too much). I tried the crackers again with a gram and I was fucked up for a good 4 hours, but enough of an anecdote let's get to the recipe. Things you need: An oven/toaster oven Tinfoil *Crackers/Tortilla Chip/Etc. **Peanut Butter .7g-1.5g decent bud Vegetable Oil (fattiest type you can get your hands on!) *Do not use an absorbent material like bread or it will absorb the oil from the peanut butter **I personally made my firecrackers with a mix of Skippy and all natural peanut butter, but I'm sure either will work fine with the vegetable oil. Things you might want to know: Smell - The smell is strange, if someone has cooked with marijuana before they would likely know what it is but if anyone hasn't they would not be able to tell it is marijauana being cooked. Also, this recipe DOES NOT make your house smell - in a ventilated oven it may make the house smell a SMALL amount for ~20 minutes but the smell subsides very quickly once the oven is off. On the other hand the oven smells weird for about an hour but this smell also goes away quite quickly Vegetable Oil - In case you are wondering why it is because I had no luck with firecrackers previously and was hoping that the extra oil would help absorb the THC. It seems to have worked but you'll have to try it for yourself. The How: -First thing is first, take ~1g of marijuana and grind it as fine as you possibly can, this will maximize the amount of THC absorbed into the fat. -On a plate place ~2 tablespoons of peanut butter (this will vary depending on how much marijuana you use and how many crackers you would like to make) -Take ~2 TEAspoons of vegetable oil and mix it in with the peanut butter until it just looks like extra oily peanut butter. -Now add the marijuana to the peanut butter on the plate and make sure you stir it in well so that it is mixed evenly throughout. -Using a whatever is handy scrape the marijuana peanut butter mix off of the plate and onto as many crackers as needed. I would recommend a thin spread of peanut butter so that the THC is heated evenly. -Wrap the crackers completely in tinfoil and cook at 310 degrees for 20-25 minutes (I use 23mins but I really doubt it matters). Let cool and serve!!! Please provide feedback / improvements

True Might – Parshas Vayechi 5773
Yaakov Aveinu blessed each one of his children with a message that encapsulated their personal potential and mission in life. In his unique way and style Rabbeinu Bechaya shares many interesting ideas the twelve sons of Yaakov. This essay will focus on the blessings of Yehuda. Why, asks Rabbeinu Bechaya does Yehuda's blessings contain every single letter of the Hebrew Alphabet except for the letter zayin?
King's Job
Yehuda was the king of the tribes and he was the great-grandfather of King David, King Solomon and the future Messiah who will emanate from him. One of the most important lessons of the Jewish king is that of humility and connection to Hashem. The king's job was not one of ego and personal indulgence. Rather, it was to be an example of sterling character, scholarship and service of God. The king was meant to inspire the people to work on themselves, to give charity and to be the greatest that they were able to be.
In the times of antiquity the king was the leader of the nation who led them in war and in conquest. The greatest warriors of the Egyptian dynasty became the leaders of the nation. We even find reference to this in Shemos, which we recite every morning in 'az yashir'. Pharaoh led his nation to war against the Jews who had escaped. Yehuda, however, was a different type of king. He was endowed with strength, but it was not for personal advancement. It was for the purpose of bringing the nation closer to Hashem. Yehuda needed to show the nation that he did not rely on his own power and strength, but rather Hashem was the One Who fought and won their wars. King David repeated this theme and spread the fear of Heaven throughout the nation. This is why there is no zayin in the blessing of Yehuda. Rabbeinu Bechaya explains that zayin translates in Hebrew as sword, something that Yehuda and his descendants did not boast or take credit for.
Focus of the Week
Additionally, Rabbeinu Bechaya explains that Yehuda was the seventh person to make up the Jewish nation beginning with Avraham Aveinu: Avraham, Yitzchok, Yaakov, Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehuda. The number seven refers to the seventh day of the week, the holy Shabbos. This is the day of Hashem upon which we rest and give credit to Him for creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh. Thus, again we see the theme of Yehuda is that of bringing out the authority of Hashem. The verses of his blessing hint to the sacred themes of Shabbos such as kiddush, wine, special clothing and havdalah. Yehuda's very name has the Ineffable Name of God in its very letters. Shabbos and Yehuda thus represent the recognition of God's authority over the world. The true strength and greatness of Yehuda was his connection and focus on Hashem.

NORTON SHORES, Mich. (WZZM) -- When water to a Norton Shores home stopped flowing Saturday, the homeowner made an
expensive repair -- one he eventually realized was not needed.
The Norton Shores Department of Public Works spent Thursday on Seminole Road, bringing resolution to a water issue that started over the weekend.
David Senesac says after calling the city Saturday morning he was led to believe the reason he didn't have running water was due to a frozen water line on his property, believing the suggestion told to him by a city employee that city lines just don't freeze.
"The determination based on that gut reaction was that it couldn't be us, that it has to be on your side," said Senesac, who hired a plumber and replaced the service line to his home from the shut-off valve in his front yard. Then he discovered the problem was in the section of pipe Norton Shores maintains.
The repair cost $2,500, leaving Senesac disappointed a city representative wasn't more involved in helping him from the start. "It should be a shared responsibility," he said. "What we were looking for was direction from the city, some protocol that they might have set up. I mean if there is a disaster in town there is protocol for that?"
Jerry Bartoszek with Norton Shores says city water lines almost never freeze. He says that's a fact, not a line used to pass off responsibility from the city to homeowners. "There may have been one or two others, but I do not recall them."
Bartoszek says especially with older homes, the water service lines are buried shallower than the five feet depth water mains are buried. "Three to three and a half feet and it is more susceptible to freezing."
Which is why most often frozen pipes are the homeowners responsibility. The best thing homeowners can to do is hire a licensed plumber and inspect water service from inside the home. "It is the easiest access and again, problems on the homeowners side are far more common than on the city's side," said Bartoszek.
Thursday city workers used a line thaw unit to inject warm water to melt the ice and get a pipe flowing again. Now the Senesac home has water. They also have a big bill on the way from a plumber-- one they now know could have been avoided.
The Michigan Chapter of the American Water Works Association says homeowners without water should call their city's department of public works first. However, state rules do not require a particular response from those departments.

Rufus Wainwright, 'Candles,' Live on Soundcheck
Rufus Wainwright's new album is called, Out Of The Game. But what does it mean? Wainwright says the meaning of the title is, "very slippery."
After writing a grand opera and producing it on two continents, Wainwright was relieved to come back to the world of pop.
"Before going into the world of opera ... I had a very misconstrued idea of the classical world," Wainwright explained. "I thought it was this much deeper, much more meaningful, imbued with sensitivity kind of place. And once I got there, it was really the opposite."
In the video below, watch Wainwright perform "Candles," which he wrote on the occasion of the death of his mother, Kate McGarrigle. The song was recorded with Wainwright's band, but here he sings a cappella.

On the subject of the most dominant athletes in the world, for Craig's money the crown belongs to none other than Ronda Rousey (pictured dominating an over-matched opponent), fresh off her 16-second victory over the weekend. Boomer didn't necessarily agree, citing the lack of competition in the world of woman's MMA, but it's kinda hard to deny Miss Rousey's dominance.
Moving right along to a man who once dominated Major League Baseball like no other, Alex Rodriguez, who was apparently allowed by the MLB officials to take testosterone back in 2007. While discussing the latest on A-Rod, the medical condition known as hypergonadism came up, and we'll just leave it at that…

This time, the creature under the basement is real. And dead sexy. Brotherhood of Blood, Book 3 Computer expert Carly is tired, burned out and ready to downgrade her hectic lifestyle to something simpler. Her solution--pull up stakes and move to an old farm house in the middle of Wyoming. Her new house is full of old-time charm, and it comes with an unexpected surprise. Dmitri Belakov. Dmitri, a Master Vampire, had an agreement with the former owners of the house to let him live peacefully beneath it in his hidden lair. Now there's a new owner, and he may have to risk revealing his presence to negotiate a new contract. He moves cautiously because if she won't deal, he'll have to kill her once she knows his secret. Carly's mind is unusually hard to influence, but he makes inroads when she is asleep. Their shared dreams are more erotic than he ever expected, firing a hunger within him to know her feel and taste in the flesh. But doing so risks far too much. Even if Carly can't deny the attraction arcing between them, loving him will force her to make a choice. An eternity in darkness with him--or life in the sun without him. This book has been previously published and has been substantially revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: This book contains graphic language, explicit sex, very naughty dreamwalking and passionate neck biting.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

According to China's 12th five-year plan (FYP), the central themes for the development of China's manufacturing sector during the 2011-2015 period are building competitive advantage based on science, technology, and innovation; upgrading industrial structures; and moving up the global value chain. The plan identifies seven "Strategic Emerging Industries" (SEIs) as key areas of growth and the government expects their contribution to China's GDP to increase from 2 percent in 2010 to 8 percent by 2015 and 15 percent by 2020. This means that the SEIs will need to grow more than 20 percent annually over the next decade.
Since these SEIs are still at an embryonic stage of development, governments at all levels are expected to use preferential tax, financial, and procurement policies to facilitate their growth. Governments will also partner with the private sector to spend approximately $1.7 trillion on the SEIs in the 12th FYP period, presenting huge market potential for both domestic and foreign businesses in the decades ahead.
Targets and Planned Investment
The seven SEIs include energy-saving technology and environmental protection, new energy, new-energy vehicles, next-generation information technology, biotechnology, advanced equipment manufacturing, and new materials (Appendix 1). The first three industries align with China's goal of improving energy efficiency and achieving sustainable growth while the other four reflect the ambition of moving up the global value chain.
Environmental Protection and Energy-Saving Industries
Over the past few decades, China's heavy reliance on manufacturing and exports to fuel economic growth have placed increased demand on the energy sector, especially on carbon-intensive fossil fuels such as coal and oil. These sources accounted for more than 80 percent of China's energy consumption in recent years and have been a major source of pollution.[1] The cost of addressing China's environmental problems to the current standards of advanced nations is estimated to be more than 2 percent of its GDP.
Figure 1 – Historical Energy Use in China by Type
One target in the FYP is to cut the amount of energy and carbon dioxide emissions needed for every unit of economic output by 16 percent and 17 percent respectively. Another is to push renewable energy's share of the country's total energy use from the current level of 8 percent to 11 percent by 2015 (Figure 1). To accomplish these goals, China plans to spend $450 million on energy conservation and environmental protection within the plan period and invest $850 million in the power industry (half will be invested in power plant construction and half in power grid construction).
Nuclear power and hydropower are prominent items on the agenda while the expansion of wind and solar power may moderate in the coming years because of concerns about high generation costs and weak competitiveness.[2] While authorities initially prepared to approve 10 nuclear power projects, the planned construction of four reactors was suspended for a safety review following the Fukushima crisis in Japan. Only recently did the government signal the resumption of nuclear power development; the pace, however, is now less ambitious. Nuclear power is expected to produce 5 percent (rather than 8 percent) of the country's total power capacity by 2020, compared with 1 percent in 2010.[3]
As China became the world's largest auto market, soaring petroleum use and congestion-related air pollution have prompted the government to control the production capacity for vehicles with traditional engines and encourage the development of alternative-energy vehicles, with a focus on pure electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.[4] Under the FYP, China will invest $15 billion over the next 10 years to support production of alternative-energy vehicles and advance key technologies related to batteries, electric motors, and electrical control systems. By 2015, the nation will have the capacity to produce 200,000-300,000 electric vehicles annually and have 1 million electric vehicles on the road, becoming the largest new-energy vehicle production country in the world.
High-Tech Manufacturing Industries
Despite impressive growth over the past three decades, China is still on the low end of the global value chain for most industries, with processing exports accounting for approximately half of total exports. Further, the share of domestic value-added in exports is far below that of developed countries.[5] Promoting the technological progress of enterprises and expediting industrial upgrading have been policy objectives since the 11th FYP.
The latest plan highlights several industries that are fairly new even in global terms. For the biotechnology industry, which includes applications for pharmacology, agriculture, and engineering, the government plans to spend more than $300 billion over the next five years on developing and manufacturing biotech drugs, establishing biotech industrial centers, and strengthening intellectual property rights. The industry is expected to generate more than 1 million jobs and help China reach many social targets included in the plan, including extending life expectancy and reducing infant mortality.
China's new materials industry lags well behind those of developed countries. The self-sufficiency rate is fairly low, with the majority of domestic demand for high-tech new materials still relying on imports. The plan has set forth an average annual growth rate of more than 25 percent for the industry's output value over the next five years. Other goals include promoting 30 types of new materials and implementing 10 major demonstration projects. Another, establishing numerous well-equipped industry bases and industrial clusters, focuses on high-strength lightweight alloys, high-performance steel, functional film materials, new battery materials, carbon fiber composites, and rare earth functional materials.[6]
Equipment manufacturing is the largest industrial sector in China, accounting for approximately one-quarter of total manufacturing output and dominating global markets in low-end products. Encouraged by the FYP, Chinese manufacturers are trying to step into high-end markets and accelerate the development of equipment in computer intelligence, aviation, aerospace, high-speed rail, and ocean engineering.[7] By 2015, sales revenue for high-end manufacturing equipment is expected to reach more than $970 million and account for more than 30 percent of total sales revenue in the equipment industry.
Another emerging sector targeted in the plan is next-generation information technology, which covers broadband, mobile communication networks, artificial intelligence, and other high-end software.
Business Implications
Although there are still many uncertainties regarding whether China can achieve its ambitious goals for the SEIs, the direction in which leaders hope to move the country is very clear. The plan will have significant effects on China's economic and business environment, presenting both opportunities and challenges for foreign companies. American firms are likely to see increased procurement opportunities from Chinese companies, especially in areas where homegrown technologies are still being developed. On the other hand, foreign firms are strongly pushed to invest in the SEIs, and several related areas have been added to the "encouraged" list in the recently released "Catalogue for Guiding Foreign Investment," the country's principal document for regulating foreign investment (Appendix 2). The government strongly encourages foreign firms to build and extend their R&D centers in China, cooperate with local companies on innovation, and allow more technology transfers to the nation in return for a larger share in the domestic market. Overall, foreign firms will need to adopt markedly different mindsets than those of their forebears and analyze their strategies in holistic terms to succeed in China over the next decade.

You possibly could be able to purchase a car from a dealership with a suspended license. It would depend on the dealership's guidelines and your state laws. For instance in some states you may be allowed to buy and register a car without a license while in other states laws might dictate that you cannot.
Many states require you to have proof of insurance when you register a car and if you do not have a valid license it is normally difficult to find auto insurance. You can contact your state's DMV to find out if your state has laws regarding buying a car while having a suspended license.
If you are able to buy a car and are going to have your license reinstated shortly you can go here to get a car insurance quotation.

Dora, AL (KTNV) -- Has your house ever been TP'd?
It happened to a family in Dora, Ala., and they decided to try to clean up the mess by setting fire to the toilet paper in their trees.
Now, they are homeless.
Within seconds, the flames spread to the grass and then to a propane tank and then to their home of 12 years.
According to WRBC, Cheryl Crausewell said that neighborhood kids rolled her house and yard on Saturday.
They decided to try and clean it up with fire on Monday.

Latest rumor: Futurama coming back to Fox?
(Look at the 2nd paragraph for info on Futurama.)
[Thanks to readers Mack Swift and Tim UF for the tip.]
Ooh, this makes me even more anxious about the upfront presentations week...
We can only hope this is indeed getting close to reality. If Fox does announce that Futurama will be back, it'll be further proof that Futurama was a keeper.
I can't wait, if they come out on DVD I'll be the first in line. If they're on TV my Tivo will be working overtime!! Awsome show!May 08 2006 at 2:51 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Comedy Central outbid Adult Swim for broadcast rights to Futurama. I think they take over next year.May 08 2006 at 2:28 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I guess the 'movies' are gonna be the same as the Family guy 'movie' was; actually 3 episodes back-to-back.
If they make 4 movies that would make 12 episodes which is enough for a 1/2 season at least. I FOX wants them they could air them or they'll end up on Adult Swim.
In a bumper last night on [adult swim] they had a statement from Matt G. confirming that there will be 4 direct to DVD Futurama movies, they are currently in production, and [as] basically stated that they will not have broadcast rights to those movies, no mention of FOX broadcasting the movies either.
The article says new episodes are being produced, and will either be on Adult Swim or Fox.May 08 2006 at 1:43 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

The Search for a Center: Vito Campanelli's Web Aesthetics
"Why look at Gustave Courbet when you can download free porn?" is a question posed by one of the animated characters in Parker Ito's sardonic Artist Statement (2009), a piece that both mocks and celebrates a selection of trite, blanket statements regarding media art. Ito's humorous animation is one of the many projects enmeshed within the dense weave of Vito Campanelli's new book Web Aesthetics: How Digital Media Affect Culture and Society (NAi Publishers), a sprawling examination of post-web visual culture and the cultural implications of various forms of digital media. While the last decade has yielded a considerable amount of scholarship judging and qualifying online interactions, tracking the transformation of identity and contemplating the changing nature of attention, Campanelli's writing project extends beyond these stock investigations and sets out to identify how the web has altered our means of experiencing and evaluating contemporary art and media. The browser, internet mailing lists, peer-to-peer networks, spam, MP3 files, vernacular video and numerous other everyday platforms and protocols are put under the microscope in the interest of cultivating a broad aesthetics of digital media. While these topical, episodic investigations are generally quite successful, Web Aesthetics is not lacking in fundamental structural and stylistic idiosyncrasies.
Interview with Jeremy Bailey
Jeremy Bailey is a Toronto-based new media artist whose work explores custom software in a performative context. Powered by humor and computer vision, his work wryly critiques the uneasy relationship between technology and the body while playfully engaging the protocols of digital media. Over the last decade Bailey has exhibited and performed at a range of international festivals and venues including the 2010 01SJ Biennial, HTTP Gallery, Subtle Technologies and in 2001 he co-founded the (now defunct) 640 480 Video Collective. I conducted the following interview with Bailey over email and we used our conversation to delve into a number of his projects from the last five years.
Code Crossings: A Review of Form+Code: In Design, Art, and Architecture
Form+Code: In Design, Art, and Architecture is an ambitious new text that investigates the creative exploration of software across numerous disciplines. A collaborative venture between artists Casey Reas, Chandler McWilliams and the graphic design studio LUST, the book presents both a succinct history of computational design and an indexed guidebook of strategies and approaches. Form+Code fundamentally differs from more traditional, tutorial-based books on creative coding by delving into precise contextualizations of the origins of various tangents within software art. The scope of these nuanced discussions is both sweeping and extensive. For example, within the space of six pages, the authors examine the computer as a drawing instrument starting with Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad proto-CAD workflow (1963), then turn to advances within various proprietary applications, which opens up into a discussion about digital representation and fabrication. Form+Code is full of these compact histories, and each is tastefully illustrated with related contemporary projects and (sometimes surprising) precedents and predecessors. Op-artist Bridget Riley's Polarity (1964) sits in a spread beside Martin Wattenberg's music visualization The Shape of Song (2001), highlighting the similarities in the graphic language of luminaries from two distinct generations.
Knowledge Work(s): In Search of a Spreadsheet Aesthetics
I sympathize with the protagonist of a cartoon claiming to have transferred x amount of megabytes, physically exhausted after a day of downloading. The simple act of moving information from one place to another today constitutes a significant cultural act in and of itself. I think it's fair to say that most of us spend hours each day shifting content into different containers. Some of us call this writing.
- Kenneth Goldsmith, 2004
While Kenneth Goldsmith's wry statement about knowledge jockeying is directly discussing the plight of the contemporary author, his comments are useful for thinking about other disciplines. In editing this quote, the word "writing" could easily be replaced by any number of verbs (programming, composing, painting, storyboarding, etc.) as we undoubtedly inhabit an era where creative transposition rather than raw creativity can be enough to drive a project. The ctrl-c clipboard, the layer palette in photo editing software and the flash memory of a microcontroller are all examples of spaces that serve as staging grounds for storytelling and crafting aesthetic experiences — these are interstitial zones where art gestates. Goldsmith clearly doesn't approach the creative process with reverence, and his blasé attitude is an excellent springboard into reading contemporary artistic production in relation to knowledge work. An important question: How might we appropriate this daily activity of "shifting content between containers" as a site (rather than a means) of artistic production? This article will consider the aesthetics of the spreadsheet, and act as the first installment of a series that will engage projects that explore the documents, software, interior architecture and politics of the contemporary workplace.
Imperfect Sound Forever
Many scholars within the field of media archaeology opt to focus on the backstory behind an influential medium or technology and map out how its inception and organizational logic (re)shaped the world. An alternative approach is the excavation and arrangement of fringe/forgotten prototypes into an array to problematize dominant historical narratives regarding technological progress. Caleb Kelly's recent text Cracked Media: The Sound of Malfunction uses two consumer technologies, the phonograph and the compact disc, to survey 20th century musical and artistic production. The book catalogs a broad range of experimentation with these playback technologies to create detailed timelines of misuse and critical engagement. In bracketing this realm of sound-producing practice, Kelly proposes "cracked media," a subversion of technological devices whereby "...tools of media playback are expanded beyond their original function as a simple playback device for prerecorded sound or image." Given the prominence of the glitch and lo-fi malformed digital artifacts everywhere from media art to pop music to web video, it is easy to take the aesthetics of failure for granted. The investigation executed within Cracked Media prefigures many of the discussions that underpin generative and glitch aesthetics by focusing on work that foregrounds and interrogates the materiality of two specific mediums. Kelly methodically tracks projects that subvert the CD and phonograph over the entire 20th century and in doing so he builds a fascinating discourse about musical performance and reproduction that is equally comfortable referencing Friedrich Kittler as DJ Qbert.

call for work / vague terrain 06: locative
guest curated by David McCallum
Not only are our lives being interwoven with technology, but technology
that has an understanding of where it is. Locative technology can be
described as the connection of information to geography. It is evident
in microphones, cameras, RFID, GPS, wireless communications protocols,
and a host of other sensors and technologies that are allowing devices
to understand their places among people, within space, and among other
devices. This technology, as proxy, allows us to better understand our
place within, and our relationships to the spaces which we inhabit. This
issue of vague terrain will allow us to better understand these
call for work
We are seeking:
Artworks that employ location-aware technology, or documentation of such
an artwork, consisting of statements and supporting images. Please do
not provide research papers as documentation of the artwork.
Text, interviews, or academic papers on the theme of location-aware
technology and locative media, of any length. We will accept pitches for
as-yet unwritten interviews or texts

Stephen Tobolowsky is definitely "that guy." You instantly recognize him when you see him in a film or on television, but chances are, you don't know his name. Some might view that as an insult, but I think it's more of a testament to his skill as a character actor. With over 200 films under his belt, Tobolowsky has been a staple in Hollywood for decades. And to celebrate his illustrious career (which after tonight, will include an appearance on "Community"), we've compiled five of our favorite Stephen Tobolowsky moments. Enjoy.
I bet you didn't even remember that Tobolowsky was in this Mel Brooks' classic. Well, that's your fault. You shouldn't drink so much. Watch the hilarious "Stunt Double" scene and see for yourself.
Tobolowsky has starred in his fair share of movies, but he's also appeared in some of the most popular shows on television, Seinfeld being perhaps the most popular. In this episode (The Heart Attack), he plays Tor Eckman, Kramer's holistic healer. It doesn't end well for George, but then again, nothing does.
This role is a long way from "Groundhog Day." Tobolowsky plays Commissioner Hugo Jarry, a corrupt public official with a penchant for whores. If you've ever wanted to see Tobolowsky blow bubbles at a topless woman's breasts while yelling "titties," then I suggest you check this scene out. Sorry we couldn't supply the video.
In Memento, Tobolowsky plays Sammy Jenkins, a character with short-term memory loss. Although his story is told entirely through flashbacks, his role is crucial in explaining the plot of the film. It's a memorable role in a film about memory. My God! How ironic.

"Anna Marie St. Claire died in the electric chair at one minute after midnight this morning, with smile on her lips ? " Brooding over his gin in Joe the Angel's City Hall Bar, John J. Malone read those headlines, and the story of how, half an hour too late, a dying gangster's confession had proved Anna Marie innocent. She had been too beautiful to die. Malone knew if he had defended her she wouldn't have had to die. Suddenly he turned white. For there, floating through the swinging doors, came a lovely apparition, curves outlined by a chic gray suit--Anna Marie, dressed just as she had been the day her gangster lover was bumped off. Malone muttered a prayer and fled. Anna Marie followed him ? So begins a giddy Craig Rice manhunt, combining mirth, mixed drinks, murder, and that talented trio, John J. Malone and Helene and Jake Justus. BIO: Craig Rice (pseudonym of Georgiana Ann Craig; 1908--1957) was an American author of mystery novels and short stories, sometimes described as "the Dorothy Parker of detective fiction." She was the first mystery writer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, on January 28, 1946. Gritty but humorous, Rice's stories uniquely combine the hardboiled detective tradition with no-holds-barred, screwball comedy. Most of her output features a memorable trio of protagonists: Jake Justus, a handsome but none too bright press agent with his heart in the right place; Helene Brand, a rich heiress and hard-drinking party animal par excellence (to become Mrs. Justus in the later novels); and John Joseph Malone, a hard-drinking, small-time lawyer (though both his cryptic conversation and sartorial habits are more reminiscent of such official or private gumshoes as Lieutenant Columbo). �-- via: Wikipedia

Not of this World
by George Grant
By almost any modern definition, Jan Comenius (1592–1670) was anything but a success. Though Herman Bavink called him "the greatest figure of the second generation of reformers" he is practically forgotten today. Though Andrew Bonar said he was "the truest heir of Hus, the chief inspiration of Chalmers, and the first model for Carey," he is rarely mentioned alongside such men. Though J. Hudson Taylor said he was "the single greatest innovator of missions, education, and literature during the Protestant Reformation," he is hardly remembered. And though Abraham Kuyper said that he was "the father of modern Christian education," his vision of substantive and systematic discipleship is infrequently practiced.
He was astonishingly diverse in both his interests and his endeavors. Comenius helped to shape the educational systems of Holland, Sweden, Prussia, Scotland, and Puritan New England. He launched missionary outreaches to Jews and Turks, Gypsies and Eastern Orthodox, Catholics and Liberals. He initiated projects to create a comprehensive Christian encyclopedia, a translation of the Scriptures into the Turkish language. He wrote and published a veritable library of books of inspiration, educational theory, cultural criticism, history, practical devotion, exposition, and theology. He was asked to lead both King's College in Cambridge and Harvard College in America. He served the Swedish king as a chaplain. He developed innovative plans for a Christian university program. And he was able to do all this despite suffering a series of personal tragedies. As his contemporary Cotton Mather argued, he was a man of "extraordinary accomplishments amidst inordinate adversity." It is a marvel then that he is not remembered as such.
Jan Comenius was born in eastern Moravia, and he was catechized and educated by godly parents. Alas, the first of many tragedies struck his happy home when Comenius was just twelve. Both of his parents died in a virulent outbreak of the plague. Nevertheless, shortly afterward he went to Heidelberg to study theology. In 1616, having completed his studies, he returned home to teach in the little parish school where he had once been a student. Eighteen months later, he was ordained into the Hussite Reformed church and served a small congregation in Falnek — where he married his childhood sweetheart and began his family.
After being forced into hiding because of persecution by the Hapsburg Catholics, Comenius led a large contingent of displaced Protestant refugees across the mountains into southern Poland in order to begin to rebuild their lives, their families, and their churches. It was then that Comenius began writing such classics as The Labyrinth of This World (a beautiful allegory of the Christian life written more than half a century before Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress) and Man of Sorrows (a classic meditation on the substitutionary work of Christ on the cross). He also began to travel to other Protestant lands to advocate the cause of his Moravian brethren, uprooted from their homeland, impoverished, and harried.
The genius of Comenius was soon recognized — not only by the grateful community of Reformed exiles huddled together in the mountain villages of southern Poland, but also by the wider church. In the years that followed, he entertained invitations to teach and live in the cities of London, Boston, Stockholm, Paris, Amsterdam, Wittenberg, and Geneva. He was called on to devise universal Christian curricula, to reform educational systems, to administer colleges, to oversee theological projects, and to supervise publishing efforts. He corresponded with the infamous Cardinal Richelieu as well as with René Descartes, Cotton Mather, Oliver Cromwell, Charles X of Sweden, and the industrialist Louis de Geer. He was among the most influential and sought after men of his day.
Following yet another tragedy in 1656, forcing him to leave his home, Comenius set his hand to a host of new projects. Though he had lost a dozen unpublished manuscripts, his printing press, and all of his worldly goods, he was unshaken in his confidence in the Gospel to change the course of both men and nations. He had set his ultimate hope on the day that Christ would make manifest His new heavens and earth. But he was also steadfast in the certainty that a deposit of that future glory would be made in the tired domains of the old heavens and earth. To his dying day, he lived in accordance with that notion, planning for the evangelization of the Muslims and Gypsies, undertaking the first complete translation of the Bible into the Turkish language, and refining his vision for a "pansophic college."
When he died at the age of seventy-eight, he left behind a glorious legacy, not of this world, that would inspire the likes of Whitefield, Wesley, Zinzendorf, Chalmers, and Kuyper, providing a powerful reminder that success in the kingdom rarely looks like success in the world.

Mobile phones have permeated every aspect of our lives. We talk on them, text on them, email on them, bank on them, shop on them. Fact is, you can pretty well operating your entire life with that little device in your pocket. But, it hasn't always been that way. It has been a rocky road of development for the cellphone. Let's take a look at the story of mobile technology with a brief history of mobile phones.
Early Days
Mobile technology began to be explored as far back as 1918 in Europe. Like most things in those times, the technology was centred around trains. Military trains experimented with mobile communications tech post World War I and went public in the 20's on trains largely based out of Germany.
In the 40's the first mobile call was made from an automobile. In 1946, the first call was made from a car in St. Louis, Missouri. That was followed up by a service set up in Chicago, illinois that year. These phones weighed 80 pounds and operated on just three channels city-wide. That later expanded to 32 channels on three bands. This practice continued in some capacity until the 1980's.
The First Truly Mobile Phone
Motorola began development on the first truly mobile phone in 1973. It took a decade for the first phone to hit market. The Motorola DynaTAC launched on March 6th, 1983. It retailed for $3,995 for those who were lucky enough to get their hands on one. The phone itself featured up to 30 minutes of talk time, 8 hours of stand-by time, a 10 hour charging cycle, and cost $100 Million dollars to develop. This phone ran on a 1G Network and was followed up by several variations.
The Network Expands
2G Networks launched in Finland in 1991. It took 10 years for 3G Networks to start pop up, followed up by the standard 4G Network in 2009, and now, we are settling into LTE networks. During this period phones began being offered by numerous companies and service providers.

Back in 1861 a guy from Philadelphia had a really good idea about improving communications. At that time there was no way to send an economical, short written message. His solution was the invention of the postcard….where, for a small amount of money you could send a brief written note on a standardized blank white card.
Over time the postcard evolved from a short correspondence to a format with a picture of a specific moment combined with that of a short message.
Today more and more people send short messages via sms, email, social media, etc., but there is still something missing, engaging information. At XNiP we've figured out a way to optimize both actions. The simplicity of a postcard, combined with information that generates an action behind it and the immediacy of social media is what we now call a XNiP card.
Now every time you want to share a moment with a product or business, send a XNiP card!
After 150 years we have re-invented the good old postcard :-)

As the bedding is almost level, single beds like this cornstone have been planed off by the sea. The rock was deposited in tropical lagoon conditions, which periodically dried out, forming polygonal cracked mud surfaces which were then filled in by the next inundation. The infilling was with a darker sediment which formed a slightly harder rock, and these filled cracks now resist erosion a little better than the main mass of rock and stand proud. Beyond the foreshore lies Loch-na-Keal and the island of Inch Kenneth. text/html 2014-06-03T17:07:28+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.318245 -6.366084 NM3022 : Roches Moutonnées by track to Fidden http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4010440 The Ross of Mull is formed from a very pink/red granite intruded towards the end of the Caledonian orogeny, 421±5 million years ago during the Devonian. The Moine series country rock above it has been eroded away, and the most recent erosive episode, the Quaternary glaciations, have smoothed the hard rocks, leaving the less jointed parts standing high as roches moutonnées. Whre the rock is even more resistant, it forms distinctive tors. Soils between the rocks are formed from the decay of the granite - feldspars weathering to clay minerals and quartz remaining as sand. The hollows retain moisture and support boggy plant communities including sedges, bog myrtle, dwarf willows and a variety of wild flowers including many orchids. On drier islands and the edges of the rocks, bracken (the world's most invasive plant species) has no more than a foothold. Being grazed by sheep, it's important to check for ticks after you've walked through this country, especially in shorts weather ! text/html 2014-06-03T15:10:26+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.292672 -6.052650 NM4918 : Carsaig Arch http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4010156 Although the map (and lots of guidebooks) use the name "Carsaig Arches", in reality this is the one arch, whilst the other is far more of a cave with landward and seaward entrances. Both are formed in Tertiary basalt lava flows. Either can be entered on foot from the land side at low tide, whilst high tide (and a reasonable disregard for the integrity of your hull if there's any swell) is needed for entry by boat from the sea. The tide was fairly well in on our visit, so the arch was easy enough, and one could even have landed on the shingle beach inside. The cave was harder by boat, but easy from the shore side if you didn't mind ankle-deep rotting seaweed... The arch is by far the more delicate of the two, with a narrow span and a teetering stack on the top which looks as though it might blow over in a bit of a breeze ! This whole section of coast offers splendid rock-hopping from a sea kayak and some pretty rough walking - getting tougher further west. To land and inspect the arches, it's easiest behind the small headland to the left of this photo, where a steep cobble beach allows one to gain the shore and drag boats above the high tide line. However, it would be punishing in any amount of swell, as the gradient would guarantee dumping surf and a hard landing ! Should you become stranded, feral goats would provide an excellent diet if you could find enough driftwood to cook... text/html 2014-06-03T13:26:57+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.322963 -6.370023 NM2923 : Granite boulders south of Fhionnphort http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4010038 Boulders and granite tors stud the landscape on the Ross of Mull, separated by boggy valleys and hollows where clay soil has weathered from the feldspars in the granite. To the south and on the coast, granite bedrock is well displayed, but here the rock is better covered and suports more vegetation including dwarf willows, as well as grasses, sedges, heather and ferns. In the background the Sound of Iona marks a major geological boundary, with much older rocks making up the island itself. text/html 2014-06-03T13:07:26+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.315884 -6.371300 NM2922 : Geo north of Port na Muic http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4010013 This joint-guided cleft in the Ross of Mull granite had a remarkably even floor enabling me (and the dog) to walk down very easily to the shore of the Sound of Iona. A slightly more scrambly gully just to the north met this one at the bottom and provided us with a different way back up. The deeply shaded north-facing wall of the geo sported a variety of wildflowers, whilst the more sun-baked right wall was mostly limited to tough grasses. The Sound of Mull beyond is dotted with skerries and in the far distance, Iona is made of entirely different and much older rocks. text/html 2014-06-03T12:32:21+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.312647 -6.374344 NM2921 : Looking to the Sound of Iona from Torr Gaineamhach http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4009974 Where the Ross of Mull granite has few joints, it weathers into Tors, often separated by boggy ground where the rock is more densely jointed and the pink to red feldspars (which give the Ross outcrops their characteristic colour) decay to clay minerals. At the coast, the tors form skerries, though this one is a tidal skerry, easily reached on foot except at high tide. Here the clay is easily carried way by the strong tides in the Sound of Iona, leaving sandy beaches made up of the more resistant quartz grains. Towards the far side of the Sound is a major structural change where the Moine thrust marks a change to far more ancient rocks of the foreland of Lewisian gneiss and Torridonian sandstone. text/html 2014-06-02T23:11:55+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.288716 -6.374517 NM2919 : Heading for Traigh Gheal past Rubha Calachain http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4009486 Rounding the southern end of Erraid on an evening paddle, heading for Traigh Gheal - a fantastic beach with almost no plastic debris despite facing south into the weather. The jointed Ross of Mull granite, of Devonian age, intruded towards the end of the Caledonian orogeny, offers easy rock-hopping opportunities in the very minimal swell we experienced on this trip and weathers to a clean white sand in the shallower inlets like this one. Sea kayak is by far the best way to visit these isolated beaches, as crossing the island involves bog, midges and a certain amount of fighting with willow scrub, as we found when we tried to cross the area to the left of this photo to get to the top of an impressive geo we'd found from below. text/html 2014-01-27T22:25:54+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 56.695668 -3.408321 NO1356 : Milton Falls at Bridge of Dalruzion http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3827769 The put-in for the River Blackwater at Bridge of Dalruzion gives little opportunity for the paddler to warm up before tackling the series of drops known as Milton Falls, a good grade 4 with some pinning potential if one misses the best line. Hitting the third drop near the centre, heading strongly to the right, gains the boily eddy directly in front of the photographer, from where strong forward paddling powers the boat through the meaty stopper at the bottom of the chute on river right and into calmer water. A less committed run into the chute tends to result in getting backlooped, but the stopper doesn't hold a capsized paddler. Failing to get into the eddy tends to leave the paddler frantically bracing on the eddy line as he is carried towards the more obvious drop left of the big rock. Mostly this is going to be fine, but the plunge pool is not so deep and (particularly in lower water levels) boats have been pinned here. Water levels in this picture are medium to high, and rising (the water came up half a metre in the hour or two it took this group, who hadn't run the river before and were being cautious, to make their way down to Netherton). text/html 2013-12-16T09:17:50+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.618440 -1.996716 NZ0024 : Track to Grey Carrs http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779959 Taken from just beyond the end of the public road, at the point where a rather esoteric public footpath turns south west to end at a random point of no destination. The more useful public right of way is the bridleway which starts up this track up Nemour Hill, and breaks out onto the open fell to cross the southern slopes of Grey Carrs. Although, as a bridleway, one has every right to pursue this route on a bike, it is not particularly enjoyable, being deeply rutted, boggy or deep in heather in various stages of the crossing. text/html 2013-12-16T00:05:38+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.657888 -2.028954 NY9829 : Great Eggleshope Beck http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779869 The final kilometre of Great Eggleshope Beck as it flows towards its confluence with Little Eggleshope Beck to form Eggleston Burn. From a relatively narrow defile confined between huge lead mining spoil tips, the valley now widens as the stream becomes slightly braided over a wider floodplain. text/html 2013-12-15T23:56:46+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.664716 -2.035315 NY9729 : Great Eggleshope Beck http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779861 Great Eggleston Beck, though larger, is not as steep as Little Eggleshope Beck (the two flowing together to form Eggleston Burn 1.2 kilometre downstream from this point). It flows between some huge lead mining spoil tips, the ends of one set being seen in the distance, but others lie out of shot. The small lump on the far horizon above the spoil tips is a large shooting hut, to which the track seen further left leads. text/html 2013-12-15T23:38:40+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.667679 -2.042140 NY9730 : Estate track climbs above mine spoil, Great Eggleshope Beck http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779840 The track leads upwards to a large shooting hut on the slopes of Harnisha Hill. The valley below finds Great Eggleshope Beck weaving between lead mining spoil tips representing a truly impressive volume of waste rock taken from underground. The photographer was standing on one long spoil tip (through which the estate track has been cut) which extends another two hundred and fifty metres downstream, separating the beck from a large level area with a number of old buildings and lots more spoil tips. text/html 2013-12-15T23:19:32+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.659317 -2.053137 NY9629 : Gritstone boulder on Monk's Moor http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779822 Descending NNE from the firm, dry ground of Monk's Moor's summit area, a large cairn is the last definitive landmark on the path, after which it rapidly becomes ill-defined. The easiest progress is by linking the most recently burned areas, avoiding the knee-deep heather, so any walker's route down is likely to be some way from the line of the path on the map. I tend to gravitate towards landmarks which make it easier to avoid constantly watching the compass, so ended up at a group of large gritstone boulders some way east of the line of the path. One always hopes to find cup-and-ring marked stones in these circumstances, but this group were a disappointment in that respect. The view is almost due east, towards the white buildings (locally, whitewash indicates ownership by Raby estate) of Middle End Farm, with Middle End plantation above it. text/html 2013-12-15T22:59:43+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.654191 -2.060725 NY9628 : Monk's Moor Outcrops http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779807 The summit area of Monk's Moor sports a number of cairns and some quite substantial, though bouldery, gritstone outcrops. The ground underfoot is firmer and drier than much of the surrounding moorland, and the path consequently much better defined on the ground, making for much quicker progress on foot. text/html 2013-12-15T22:29:43+00:00 http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/34816 Andy Waddington 54.645838 -2.051879 NY9627 : Nothing must live here, except that which is to be killed http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3779777 This land is managed for the sole purpose of maximising its production of grouse, in order that they may be killed at leisure by those paying for a day's shooting. Moorland gripping aims to drain the soil to favour heather (which grouse eat) over sphagnum moss. Heather burning takes place to destroy old-growth woody heather so that regenerating new shoots provide better nourishment for the grouse. Anything which might eat or disturb grouse, or impair their nesting and breeding success, and which may be legally killed, is certainly fair game. Hence, the moorland grips are provided with neat bridges for predators to keep their feet dry, on which are traps to eliminate them completely. Few would argue with such a policy if the aim was to remove introduced carnivores such as mink, but the traps are indiscriminate and , indeed, in other locations are employed illegally in a manner which impedes the right of navigation on streams with considerable risk to human life. Nothing must interfere with the grouse - unless paying for the privilege, of course.

Philadelphia band Literature showed a total adoration for Kinks-style '60s pop on their recent single "The English Softhearts," and their new album, Chorus, explores that sound even further. They tackle it with charm, humor, and lots of jangling guitars, which bring to mind another '60s-obsessed band: the Soft Boys. So it might be more accurate to say Chorus is indebted to an '80s love for the '60s, but really, you don't need to say anything — just stream Chorus and you'll enjoy yourself a whole lot.

October 9, 2015
That comes after the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling that the state owes $151 million for trying to block construction of a low-level radioactive waste dump.
The appeals court upheld an earlier ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf of Lincoln.
Kopf ruled former Governor Ben Nelson engaged in a politically motivated plot to keep the regional dump from being built in Nebraska.
The dump was to hold waste from Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. All those states are members of the Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact.
Nebraska's options include asking the Eighth Circuit to rehear the case or petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court.
Johanns said he plans to begin talking to lawmakers about trying to find the money to pay the judgment should Nebraska lose.

Hello everyone, I'm looking to make a mini movie showing some great frags and some light-hearted moments from quake. Sorry I cant show any...
that only happens for q3 demos
atm dont think theres a fix for it.
this happens if you try to record q3 frags?
also what happens if you use a custom shader?
if you search the q3mme forums theres a pk3 that provides these skins, (im sure you'll find them) for q3mme but you can use them for wolfcam.
Try turning r_Fbo to 0 that should work i think.
thanks, sorry commenting on this account cant be bothered to log out etc
do you mind telling me how to add more gibs?

i have a 5v1 round win on eviscerated, but i do not know which demo, if i send in demos, do they have to be already cut to the frag, (QLDEMOTOOLS) ? or do you find the frags itself? please reply, i...
i was playing around with weapon skins, and i managed to move my shotgun shells shader or something, how do i do it? theyre rendering like the b&w boxes you get with missing gibs. please help its...
looking good swampy, ive finnaly got a rock solid cfg, rail settings? btw do you know how to weapon skin? carbon fiber wont override the orig rl it shows underneath. ps nice rails.
thanks alot!
help please my sound is fxcked.
im using antis cfg.
can somebody help me please, i would like to darken dead bodies, i set deadbodydarken (i dnno cvar) to 1 but they still dont darken and also i set : Cg_lightningstyle "4" for...
