Killer Mike interview on Invasion Radio from 3 Little Digs on Vimeo.
Killer Mike stops by Invasion Radio and talks Pl3dge, middle class America, TI's release and the return of Outkast.
Killer Mike always speaking that real shit. Dude did say "solitude" instead of "solace," gotta be careful with that shit.
Well, Ron Paul is republican too…
^^^Exception to the rule?
Definite exception to the rule… I agree with all else he said about the republicans
Yea man I feel the same way about these ignorant and poor white people that blindly follow a party who definitely is praying upon their ignorance as a means to their own self interests… Wow getting deep on HHS today! LOL! …back to the music… I HOPE we get that Outkast reunion album some day but I am not gonna hold my breath! Another Andre solo would be really nice too!

Mr. Peabody & Sherman 3D: "PG" (1 hr. 30 min)
Starring: Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Allison Janney, Stephen Colbert
Directed by: Rob Minkoff
Back in the late '50s and early '60s one of the back-up segments to the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was Peabody's Improbable History where Mr. Peabody (a beagle) and his boy Sherman (a human) would travel through time (in their WABAC (or Wayback) machine) to visit some important time or event ion the far-flung past. Each episode was somewhat goofy in nature often chock full of puns. Well, flash forward half a century and here we are with a full-blown, feature-length, big-screen adaptation of that glorious Saturday Morning cartoon (in 3D no less!).
As in the TV show, the film has Peabody as perhaps the most accomplished sentient being on the planet. He is a business magnate, inventor, scientist, Nobel laureate, gourmand, and two-time Olympic medalist, plus he invented Zumba. One day, Mr. Peabody decides to adopt his own human son. In an alley, he meets Sherman, a dorky, glasses-wearing, orange-haired boy and decides to adopt him. And so their life together begins, with Mr. Peabody as the most accomplished dog in the world, and Sherman his mischievous adopted boy who use The WABAC to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. However, when Sherman takes The WABAC out for a joyride to impress his schoolmate, Penny, they accidentally rip a gaping hole in the space-time continuum, which wreaks havoc on the most important events in world history.
Now, before the past is forever altered, Mr. Peabody must face the most daunting challenge of any era how to not only save history, but figure out how to be a parent. Together, Peabody, Sherman, and Penny, will have to make their own mark on history and make things right again.
Well, the addition of Penny to the cast is a great idea as it gives a whole new depth to this fondly-remembered cartoon. As with the TV show, the film is full-to-overflowing with puns, visual sight gags, and outrageous silliness (all the while remaining historically (if hilariously) accurate to the past — making it not only a very enjoyable film experience, but an educational tool as well). We get to meet Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Antoinette, King Tut, as well as Presidents Washington, Lincoln, and Clinton. Yep, this is really one funny film, that should be seen by kids and their parents as well.

PETALING JAYA: It was love at first sight for former international shuttler Lin Woon Fui when he set eyes on squash player Delia Arnold during a motivation camp 11 years ago.
Yesterday, the duo celebrated their love with a colourful wedding ceremony that brought together most of the big names from the country's top two racquet sports at the Sunway Hotel in Petaling Jaya.
The 30-year-old Woon Fui, a finalist in the 2003 World Cup and 2006 Malaysian Open with Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari, had given up competitive badminton but is fully supportive of his wife's squash career.

By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE -- Someone asked John Timu if he was going to enjoy something of a "vacation" during this Huskies bye week, after eight rugged games.
The gritty middle linebacker and Huskies co-captain glared like the guy was wearing Cougars gear inside Husky Stadium's west end zone.
"I wouldn't say a vacation. That's a bad word in this sport," Timu spat back following Tuesday morning's practice in brilliant, fall sunshine.
"Just because it's a bye week doesn't mean I get the week off."
No way. Not with this defense.
Coordinator Justin Wilcox had the Huskies tackling each other again in the latest practice, even though the Huskies don't play again for 11 days. Veterans and starters such as Timu worked on technique and form on pads and bags. The reserves went live in what has become a weekly Tuesday ritual for UW's defense this season.
"Everybody's got something to work on, whether you've been here four years or four months," Wilcox said.
Tackling, especially key stops one on one in the open field, was the reason Washington was the top-ranked defense in the Pac-12 entering October. Then speedy Oregon did what it does to almost every opponent, and the Huskies had a regression in allowing 53 points in the baffling performance at Arizona State two weeks ago.
Though they improved compared to Arizona State last weekend when they beat California 41-17 – with the final touchdown coming late on a 73-yard run against the third-string defense -- the Huskies still allowed Cal 483 yards and 4.5 yards per rush. And that average included UW's three sacks for minus-17 yards.
The Huskies have Colorado at home next week, then play at No. 17 UCLA and at Oregon State, the latter of which lost on the last play at home last weekend to fifth-ranked Stanford. The Beavers have the nation's top-ranked passing offense with the country's leader in passing yards, Sean Mannion.
After that it's the Apple Cup against Washington State. Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday is third in the nation in passing yards.
So, no, even with some starters getting some practice plays off to develop depth this week, this bye is no time for the Huskies' defense to take a vacation.
"We will still work on tackling," Wilcox said Tuesday.
Timu said the difference on defense between the losses to Stanford, Oregon and Arizona State and the rout of Cal came inside the helmet.
"Our mentality and our attitude changed," he said. "Three losses in a row, that's not who we are."
How did the junior captain help change the defense's attitude?
"Just actions. Leading by actions," he said. "We had been talking, talking about what we needed to do, but we weren't doing it."
That means staying in assigned pass rush and run-defense lanes, tackles and ends selflessly taking up blockers along the line to free Timu and his fellow linebackers plus safeties Sean Parker and newly inserted Tre Watson, making more plays on the ball in the air in pass coverage – and, yes, tackling better.
"Last week," Timu said, "we did what we'd been talking about."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: After Saturday night's 376-yard passing game, Keith Price said his thumb that had been throbbing since the second half Oct. 5 at Stanford and forced him to leave the ASU game with 12 minutes left felt almost completely healed. "It feels better than it has since the first half at Stanford," Price said. That thumb figures to only get better this week with a reduced workload and no one hitting him this idle Saturday, meaning Price will be as full of health as he's been since September when the Huskies next play on Nov. 9 against Colorado. … Price's 376 yards against Cal was the second-most in his UW career. His only better night was the galactic, 2011 Alamo Bowl when he threw for 438 yards, accounted for a national bowl-record seven touchdowns and outplayed Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor.

I drink a lot of tea, and I like to use sugar in it. Using this coconut palm sugar keeps my blood sugar lever lower and I still get to drink sweet drinks
Tastes good!

Benjamin Wallace, PA-C, went to Safeway on an errand, and ended up saving a life.
A physician assistant at Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute, Wallace knew what to do when he heard someone in the next aisle say, "I don't think he's breathing."
"I went over and saw a man lying on the ground," Wallace said. "His face was blue."
Also in the store that day was Jesse Looney, an emergency medical responder with the Lebanon Volunteer Fire Department. Safeway staff called 911 and Wallace and Looney began CPR on the man — with Wallace doing chest compressions, and Looney giving breaths.
"We gave him CPR for about two and a half minutes when the EMTs arrived," Wallace said. "By that time, he was beginning to breathe."
By the time the man was being loaded onto the ambulance, he'd come around and was talking. According to the emergency responders, if it were not for the quick action, teamwork and CPR provided by Wallace and Looney, the man would have died.
"I was very impressed that he (Looney) was prepared to do CPR and call for help and not panic," Wallace said. "He was prepared."
Wallace and Looney both train regularly in CPR, and Wallace uses the lifesaving technique at times as part of his work in the Heart Center.
"I think it is important for the general public to take CPR classes," Wallace said. "You are not always going to have a health care provider around. It's a very stressful experience, and if you have some training and preparation, you have the opportunity to save somebody's life."

Conceive Easy TTC Kit is little gift from Heaven for any woman that has been trying to conceive. My husband and I have been married for almost nine years and have been trying to get pregnant for about seven of those years.
Conceive Easy is a very simple system and gave my husband and I hope to bring a little one home one day. I opened the box and here's what's inside:
- Getting Stated Calendar
- Conceive easy Months 1 and 2
- 10 Ovulation Tests
- 10 Early Pregnancy Tests
- Digital Thermometer
Let me start with the two bottles you see of Conceive Easy Advanced Conception. One bottle is month one and the second is of course month two. While this pill can't teat or cure any disease, they're all natural reproductive support for you body. You take one pill once a day with a meal and I have had zero side effects. No headaches, no tummy aches, nothing. Plus, these are safe with any of your prescription and non-prescription medications. Double bonus!
There's no waiting to start the Conceive Easy program either. You can start any time of the month and during any day of your cycle but usually you need to allow 4-6 weeks for results.
While this product may not work for everyone, my husband and I have high hopes. I've been taking the Fertibella fertility pills for about three weeks now and we're still praying for the best. The Conceive Easy reviews and videos on Conceive Easy speak for themselves, lots of women have been blessed with children with the help of this system.
Since the Conceive Easy comes with ten of each the ovulation tests and pregnancy tests, you're saving a ton of money. Hubby and I used to joke that we needed to take out stock in pregnancy tests! LOL! I swear, we've went through so many over the years!
These ovulation and free pregnancy tests are great and work perfectly. We're not pregnant yet, but with the help of Conceive Easy, we're on the right road!

Charleston and the Battery04/26/2011, Charleston, SC
Isobel played in the public fountains.
04/26/2011 | Uncle Readie
Probably lots of Civil War 150th anniversary activities in Charleston, I reckon.
04/26/2011 | Uncle Readie
Called simply the Charleston Fountain, it can be seen on Google Street View at the intersection of Concord St and Vendue Range St. Also in Waterfront Park is the Pineapple Fountain, but that's probably not for playing in. :)
Eggs for Easter04/24/2011, Hilton Head, SC
Isobel plays one on one basketball with a girl at the playground on Hilton Head. Here she is taking a shot (with a little help)! Slam dunk!
04/24/2011 | Uncle Readie
You're heading north again? Here I was getting ready to point out when you would intersect your journey north last year, exactly one year later. You were at Isle of Hope on 30 Apr 2010, so it was getting close. I had figured it would be St Augustine FL (27 Apr 2010). Oh, well, enjoy the journey, like you always do. :)
04/26/2011 | Uncle Readie
Okay, I'm guessing you were at Dolphin Head Beach on the north tip of Hilton Head Island. It's actually part of a private gated community ("plantation"), so you're lucky you ran into someone as nice as Pete, though he's probably used to ICW folks dropping in. That's the nature of adventures.
Get that hat right04/22/2011, Wassaw Wildlife Refuge
Of course Isobel likes things in order, including hats that have velcro

Bugs. We worked hard to keep them out of the boat so we could sleep at night....
Dinner?04/22/2011, Wassaw Wildlife Refuge
We would hang out by the beach and in the breeze during the day and move into a river for the night. This time we pulled up the anchor we found two Horseshoe Crab on the chain!
Helme and Isobel04/21/2011, Wassaw Wildlife Refuge
Bill's brother Helme has been on board for a few days. Isobel loved being his "bug-a-boo"... He had a pretty good time too!!
Mettie on board for an evening04/20/2011, Isle of Hope GA
Isobel's cousin, Mettie joined us for dinner and a night on the boat. Isobel loved having her to play with (and she has a cool phone too!)
Scuuting04/19/2011, Savannah, GA
We bought this a while ago, but she wasn't tall enough to use it yet. We saw a kid on one in Wrightsville Beach and since then she has been talking about it... so here we go.
04/22/2011 | ellen
Loving the pix. The first thing I do every morning when I get in is check your blog. Always a treat when there is a new post. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Peace.
60 mile run04/18/2011, Turner Creek, GA
Well, The camera was dropped down the companionway to the sole of the boat! And it has a "lens error" which seems quite fatal! As luck would have it Lara ordered a new camera for "herself" that is due to arrive tomorrow!! So, we will be back in photos again. This photo is from a few days ago ... Isobel on watch.
04/18/2011 | Uncle Readie
The Google Street View outside the Isle of Hope Marina looks very south-ified with the spanish moss hanging from the trees. Lara's maternal grandma loved spanish moss.
04/19/2011 | Tom Sawtell
Hi Bill and Lara, I'm so glad to see you guys back on track. Now that your home is back in the water and your horizons are anywhere you want them to be, what are your plans? You kinda missed this winter in the islands, and hurricane season is just around the corner down here. I continue to enjoy your blogs. Our restoration project is coming along nicely and we'll be back on the water soon. Take care and enjoy your adventure.
04/21/2011 | Growltiger/joan
Hi to Sunrise! Watching you heading south, glad to see Isabel taking the wheel. Keep in touch, and check in with us once in awhile. We will be found in Hampton VA for the WCR ARC/Europe happening May 6th, then the SSCA GAM in Annapolis and the Annapolis Boat Show in fall 2011. See you at one or the other events. joan
Birds04/16/2011, Dewer's Creek
Hey, who's on watch... Bill was pretty distracted by the birds today. I guess he is feeling better. Lost track of what we saw... Green Heron, Great Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Skimmer, Oyster Catcher, Willet, Lesser Yellow Legs, least Tern, Common Tern, Royal Tern, Laughing Gull, Ringed Bill Gull, Boat Tailed Grackle...
04/16/2011 | Uncle Readie
Lara's a smart lady - it's good you have her to look after you. I hope you find the hat. We all have our foibles.
04/17/2011 | Gil
Oriental is still here despite the 60 mph winds and many tornados that came near. (some very near).
Hey, I wanted some of that french bread.
Oh, by the way, Bill, your hat blew into the harbor here in Oriental and I will hold on to it for you.
04/17/2011 | Bill and Lara Calfee
Oh Good Gil, Now I can stop searching the reeds... I guess we will have to come back to Oriental...

Hybrid car disadvantages? What about the disadvantages of hybrid cars? Are they worth considering when the advantages are so clear?
If you are thinking of buying a hybrid car it's as well to consider some of the disadvantages as well as the benefits.
There are several disadvantages to even the newest hybrid cars.
This page takes a look at some of them.
Firstly, and most obviously, there's the price.
Doubtless as more people see the advantages and buy into the technology the prices will tumble. You stand to recoup some - or even all - of your expenditure in fuel savings, however.
Of course you can buy second-hand but some of the older models are not as environmentally-friendly and certainly not as user-friendly.
Some of them (the Prius, again, the Honda Civic and Nissan's Altima) get the SmartWay Elite badge from being "superior environmental performers" on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution gases.
Hybrid car disadvantages:
Some hybrids (the Prius, for example) use metal hydride batteries which could, in theory kill a person if they were exposed during crash conditions. They use very high voltages. Toyota claim to have minimised the risks.
Another problem with the battery of the older Prius models is that they needs re-charging at least every two weeks - so if you want long vacations you have to engage someone as a car sitter!
You may also need a new battery every 150k to 200k miles - but this is hardly worse than the average car battery! The Prius battery is supposed to last a lifetime but again, this depends on many factors such as use and abuse. They are certainly expensive to replace.
Some batteries have also been criticised for failing to deliver in cold weather. This means that if you live in a cold part of the world, you may find that a hybrid does not offer much in terms of fuel savings because you'll mainly be running on gas.
Hybrid car batteries are heavy which adds to the over-all weight of the cars, which may be a disadvantage to some people.
The weight of the battery has also led to criticisms of the handling qualities of some hybrid cars.
Yes, of course hybrids leave a carbon footprint from their manufacture - just as other vehicles do. In some ways the pollution is greater because of the extra components needed for a hybrid - the twin drive-trains, for example.
There have been studies (MIT, Carnegie Mellon University) which showed that the pollution and energy consumption from manufacture is greater than for conventional cars, as is the cost of disposal.
However the same studies showed that these costs were compensated for by decreased energy consumption during a lifetime of use.
Several consumer reports have backed this claim with evidence that hybrids do generally more than cover the cost of their premium price tags with fuel savings.
That's not something you'd think would be a source of complaint in our noisy world - until you stop to consider the needs of visually-impaired people. There have been cases of people who have relied on their ears and have been nearly run over.
Tests involving blind pedestrians showed that they were often completely unable to hear the approach of a hybrid car in urban conditions. This is a criticism of electric cars, too.
Some organisations for the blind have understandably been calling for a technical fix to make hybrids noisier. This is also a safety issue for parents, too. These added sound effects are now being incorporated in some cars.
Some of the hybrids - the Prius again - will normally need to be serviced by the manufacturer as most garages simply don't have the equipment necessary to do all the necessary routine service jobs. This could prove expensive.
As hybrid cars become more common it would seem likely that more garages will be equipped to do maintenance and repair of hybrids.
The batteries are also designed to last for the car's lifetime, so there should rarely be a need for a replacement.
Hybrids have been roundly condemned by many car enthusiasts for their styling (seen as ugly - one comment compared the new Prius to a doorstop!) and their handling (unresponsive, slow).
Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, the British car programme, likes to give them a good kicking from time to time. But his priorities are generally speed and performance above most other considerations.
There are many people out there who will leap to the defence of the best hybrids. The Prius, for example has its enthusiasts. It delivers great mileage, especially in urban and suburban conditions, has effective traction control and ABS. It also delivers a pretty respectable acceleration when required. The regenerative brakes effectively recharge the battery - it loves hills. It can drive on just the battery power alone in suburban conditions and - its chief environmental virtue - it is a SULEV (i.e. a super ultra low emission vehicle). This is what it was designed for and many of its fans believe Toyota succeeded brilliantly. It won a prestigious award in 2004 for engine quality.
Picture by June Traveler: - the Prius' power button. Not so easy to hot-wire!
Other great features that owners have praised include generous storage space and good anti-theft qualities. The Prius is hard to steal because the computer on board will not recognise any other key. Of course you can't hot-wire a hybrid, either!
The Prius also comes up well for reliability despite all the (relatively) new technology under the bonnet.
No doubt about it, hybrid cars represent a huge step forward toward a greener motoring future. The various hybrid car disadvantages are sure to be surmounted as the need for car efficiency and low emissions becomes paramount.
For more on hybrid car advantages please see: Hybrid Car Advantages.
Many hybrids score well on the US Environmental Protection Agency's Green Vehicle Guide. If you are thinking of buying, this is a good place to check out all the available models and make an informed choice.
Although there are a few hybrid car disadvantages to consider, not least the price, many people feel that they deliver real benefits and are well worth the investment.

Loretta Young
Television Producer, Actor
There are few television show openings as distinctive (or playfully parodied) as Loretta Young's glamorous entrance on her weekly series,
The Loretta Young Show
, in which she emerged from a doorway, swirling forth in an elegant dress as she approached the camera to introduce that evening's episode. Behind the gloss, however, was a very savvy woman who had always managed her career on her own terms, becoming a major award-winning motion picture star during Hollywood's golden age. Unlike most other film stars of her stature, she was instantly excited by the arrival of television and saw the new medium not as a threat, but as the means to prolong her career and make money. While insisting that she was not business-minded, she took charge of her program by establishing her own production company with her husband. While the series was still appearing in prime time, Young received $4 million for the rights to air reruns of
The Loretta Young Show
on the daytime schedule—quite an achievement. At the height of her popularity in the new medium, she would happily inform
TV Guide
, "I'm a television girl and I love every hectic minute of it."
Her need to work hard began early. Born Gretchen Michaela Young in Salt Lake City in 1913, she was uprooted at a young age, moving to Los Angeles with her mother and siblings after their father had abandoned them. To make ends meet, their uncle found his nieces jobs in the movies, with Loretta (still using her real name) first appearing in
The Only Way
when she was all of four years old. After a handful of other bit parts, she concentrated on her schooling before landing the leading role opposite Lon Chaney in
Laugh, Clown, Laugh
, now billed as "Loretta" Young, per the suggestion of actress Colleen Moore. Young never wanted for work, first landing a contract with Warner Bros. and then with Twentieth Century Fox. During this period her credits included
The Second Floor Mystery
, in which she costarred with her first husband, Grant Withers; two of 1934's Oscar nominees for Best Picture,
The House of Rothschild
The White Parade
; the Cecil B. DeMille epic
The Crusades
Call of the Wild
(1935) with Clark Gable; the Technicolor drama
(1938); and
The Story of Alexander Graham Bell
(1939), which allowed her to act with her two sisters, Polly Ann Young and Sally Blane, and her half sister, Georgiana Young. Starting in the early forties, she became the rare headliner to freelance successfully, appearing in such pictures as the soap opera
And Now Tomorrow
(1944), in which she portrayed a deaf woman; the Gary Cooper western
Along Came Jones
(1945); Orson Welles's
The Stranger
(1946); and the Christmas-themed
The Bishop's Wife
(1947), opposite Cary Grant. She won the Academy Award for playing a Swedish maid who ends up a congresswoman in
The Farmer's Daughter
(1947) and earned her second Oscar nomination, playing an enterprising nun (her all-time favorite role), for
Come to the Stable
Despite the fact that Young was still receiving offers to appear in motion pictures, she was already discussing the possibility of developing a television program as early as 1950. It would be another three years before she was able to get several movie commitments out of the way—the last of which was the comedy
It Happens Every Thursday
—and focus on her goal. Unlike other actors who would do an appearance on television and then return to films, Young completely turned her back on motion pictures to concentrate on television, never again acting in a theatrical feature. Rather than simply fall back on doing a situation comedy or a continuing drama, Young settled on a format that would allow her the best possible opportunity to show her range, an anthology series. In addition to serving as hostess for each episode, Young would play a different character every week in a series of original dramas said to be inspired by actual letters written to the actress over the years. At the end of each episode, Young would read an inspiring quote from the Bible or another source. Young and her husband, advertising executive/producer Tom Lewis, packaged a pilot episode with the actress playing a perfume saleswoman whose admirer fantasizes about her personalities, thereby allowing Young to be seen in three separate roles. After selling the concept to the advertising firm Benton & Bowles, Young and Lewis formed their own production company, Lewislor, to produce the series, of which they would also become the owners.
As her own executive producer, Young was in a position to decide just what roles she wanted to play on each episode. During
A Letter to Loretta
's first season on NBC, Young acted in all thirty-six episodes (with a weekly salary of $5,000), so there was little objection to the program receiving a name change midseason, becoming
The Loretta Young Show
. She repeated her feat of taking roles in each of the second season's dramas, and won her first Emmy Award (in 1955) for her efforts. Feeling that working side by side with Lewis was causing a rift in their relationship, Young decided to take over the producing end of the series, while Lewis concentrated on developing other properties for Lewislor. A period of poor health, plus the increased workload behind the scenes, meant that Young had to cut back the number of episodes in which she actually appeared for the remainder of the program's run. Nevertheless, she could boast of having played nuns, alcoholics, housewives, a maharani, and the Egyptian queen Nefertiti. Young received acting Emmy nominations for each of the program's eight seasons, with three wins. When Lewislor's five-year contract with NBC expired, Young formed a new production company, Toreto Productions, and signed directly with the sponsor. The deal granted Young the same degree of authority as the sponsor to end the series at the close of each year if she so wished during the three-year agreement. "I'm not a businesswoman," Young claimed, "but I do know something about these films. They're a part of me. And if they can make money for somebody else—well, I figured they could do the same for me. I'd figure, why not retain ownership?" While the series was still appearing in prime time, Young received $4 million for the rights to air reruns of
The Loretta Young Show
on the daytime schedule. The success of her series would inspire other film actresses to follow in Young's footsteps, with anthology programs like
The Jane Wyman Show
The DuPont Show
with June Allyson
(1959–61), and
The Barbara Stanwyck Show
(1960–61), allowing their eponymous stars to both host the show and act in several episodes.
By the time the program ended its run, Young had become very wealthy and had earned her status as one of the most prominent stars in the medium. Hoping to try something new, she signed with CBS to appear in a weekly drama,
The New Loretta Young Show
, portraying a widowed mother of seven, but the show was not a success, lasting only a single season. Initially Young decided she would take a much-needed break from a career that had kept her busy for more than thirty-five years. That break turned into retirement, as she decided to concentrate on her private life and charitable causes. When she again became a news item, it was because of a lawsuit she brought against NBC regarding
The Loretta Young Show
. The network had allowed episodes to be seen in their entirety, when Young's contract specifically stated that her opening introductions be cut with the passage of time, so as not to date her image by showing a woman out of touch with contemporary fashions. Although the suit seemed trivial to some, Young stood her ground. In January of 1972 she was awarded $559,000.
When at last Young agreed to be seen again on television it was in 1982 at the Academy Awards ceremony, where she presented the Best Director statuette to Warren Beatty. There was still great interest in enticing her back to work, and this came close to happening in 1985 when she accepted an offer to appear in a two-hour ABC movie for producer Aaron Spelling,
Dark Mansions
, only to drop out of the project due to "creative differences" and be replaced by Joan Fontaine. The following year, she finally made her long overdue return to acting with a starring role in the NBC movie
Christmas Eve
, as a dying widow playing host to her estranged grandchildren. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance. Three years later, she portrayed a fashion editor in another television movie for NBC,
Lady in a Corner
, which marked the last time she would be seen on screen. (Her final credit found her narrating the 1994 special
Life on the Mississippi
.) Having finished her acting career in a starring role, and having retained the glamorous image she had created for herself for more than sixty years, she spent the remainder of her life living in comfortable retirement. She died of ovarian cancer on August 12, 2000, at the Los Angeles home of her half sister, Georgiana, and her brother-in-law, actor Ricardo Montalban. Her agent, Norman Brokaw, remarked, "I learned from her that if you can handle yourself with class and dignity, you can work as long as you want in this business."

Jedi Knight glitch
I've been able to play Jedi Knight (my favorite game) on XP alright, but there's one small problem, though - every time water appears the game slows down considerably, and when I press a button the game doesn't pick it up until about 5 seconds later. Any help would be appreciated!
Have you enabled 3d Acceleration in Jedi Knights' settings? What kinda specs are we looking at?
I just checked and it's not enabled. And what do you mean by what kind of Specs? (sorry if that was a stupid question)
What kind of computer do you have, what video card, how much RAM, ect. that's specs, and I'm having a problem too, whenever I'm playing a game and hit esc. to leave, the screen's just black, I have to hit the menu button and click on the Jedi Knight tab in the toolbar, then I can see the menu, what should I do? I'm running Vista...
I used to own jk a year ago and i had the same problem.
Change the screen resulotion and it will be fixed.
You can turn on and off the 3d acclearation and stuff.
I had the same problem with other games and it was the resolution being the culprit.
Try turning it on, Ma ping.
ok, thanks :D
If you guys need help just e-mail me.
I might know what to do:D
How low is the resolution supposed to be?
I would recommend 1024+768
or 640+480 or in the 360's.
I always mess a bit in my graphics in my game:D
Thanks for the info guys! This should certainly help the gameplay. I get frustrated with a lot of the older games, since ther's either a glitch, or it tends to crash. Now, to get episode 1 racer working...
Episode 1 racer looked cool for its age.
I guess go to the other Forum for Episode 1 racer on LFnetwork.
I started a thread on the other forum for a problem with the XP patch download here. By the way, was your concussion rifle signature a message to me :D

On August 10, 2014 at approximately 9:40 p.m. a Burlington, Ontario resident spotted a huge V-shaped object flying overhead.
According to a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) report, the witness was driving at the time to a friend's home when an object with "bright red and white lights" was seen. The witness at first thought it was a building until noticing that it was moving and then stopped the car to get a better look.
"It was a wide/long V-shaped object with two lights at each point, two on the outer wings and one in the middle," the witness noted. "Each light was red with a smaller white light atop.
Realizing how "gigantic it was," the witness tried to take some photos with a cell phone. The object then moved toward a tree line and the witness lost sight of it. You can see a photo HERE.
Fort Erie UFO
According to MUFON, a person in Fort Erie, which is along the Niagara River across from Buffalo, N.Y., saw a "massive-sized triangle UFO" just as it was moving away and cloaked itself. This incident occurred on August 13, 2014 at approximately 10:10 p.m.
At first the witness saw what he believed were three meteors at about 9:30 p.m. that were easily visible in the clear night sky as he traveled from his home to a friend's. Soon afterward along with a neighbor, he noticed "four blinking, fast moving objects circling around the Canada-USA border." They assumed the objects were drones used in border security.
However, a different object then appeared that had "three big white lights." The witness said the object was traveling from the northeast "at an amazing speed" and made no sound. As it drew closer, he said he noticed that the lights were on one very large object. As it passed the border, he said "it went into what looked like a cloaked sort of state where it dimmed right down but the three white lights were still visible."
The witness added, "It was moving at a rate I had never seen before – faster than any plane. Before I knew it, the object was heading southwest and was gone with us just standing there blown away on what we('d) just seen."

Newsweek Will 'Eventually' Go Digital-Only
Thursday, July 26, 2012
Yesterday (July 25), IAC/InterActive Corp. CEO Barry Diller told analysts in a conference call that the "transition" of Newsweek "to online from print will take place. We're examining all our options." Diller's statement came two days after it became known that IAC had gained a controlling interest in Newsweek Daily Beast Co. after the family of the late Sidney Harman announced that they were freezing their investment.
Audio-stereo magnate Sidney Harman had purchased Newsweek from The Washington Post Co. for a nominal $1 plus about $50 million in liabilities in August 2010, and three months later, he and Diller agreed to the merger of print (Newsweek) and Web (The Daily Beast). Harman had an emotional attachment to Newsweek and the financial wherewithal to absorb the losses (The Daily Beast is a money-loser, too), but his death in April 2011 at 92 years old took away the first part of the equation.
Newsweek's 2012 ad pages are +4.07% through July 23, but that is misleading because its advertising base had atrophied in 2009/2010/2011.Rival Time, though -20.47% through the same issue date, had carried nearly 213 more ad pages (604.45 versus 391.47).
Although no complete decision is expected before September, a possible scenario would be reducing the Newsweek print schedule to specials before fully going digital.That would match the strategy of the Mort Zuckerman-owned U.S. News & World Report in 2009, but the difference is that the digital side of Newsweek is The Daily Beast. (USN&WR is a standalone.)
Would Tina Brown, who is editor-in-chief of both, abandon The Daily Beast for the better-known Newsweek brand? Or will there be two separate sites with distinct identities? These are two of many questions that will be answered.
If you have breaking news to share please contact min's editors.

I have tried to contact Newsweek for two days and the operator says to call back later so I went online and can't find where to tell Newsweek that I prefer to get my money back as I do not wish to go digital. You have made it hard to respond, which is unfortunate because I have been a reader of Newsweek for a long time.

Things got pretty competitive in week 4 of "The Bachelor" as Juan Pablo and his bevvy of beauties headed to South Korea. According to E! Online on Jan. 27, things got down right catty.
One of the early favorites showed her witchy side while another declared that JP isn't "the One" for her. She wasn't one of the two girls who were sent home though.
Sharleen, who seems to be a favorite of Juan Pablo's doesn't seem all that in to hi. Yet, she is still very competitive. She even told him she is unsure about having kids, saying, "Kids, for me, is something that I never even thought about. I have dated someone who had a daughter...I was not ready for that." Even after that, he didn't send the opera singer home. And yes, she's the one who isn't sure he's the guy for her.
Andi won the group date rose and was labelled "perfect" by our bachelor. Clare seems to have made some progress too. Juan Pablo explained that he is helpless when it comes to her, no doubt because of the kissing skills she's demonstrated.
Nikki the nurse may have lost a few points in spite of getting a rose. She was intrusive on Clare's one-on-one time with Juan Pablo. She also complained about having to go on a group date, saying, "This blows. I'm halfway around the world and I'm going to be spending the day tomorrow with five other girls who are quite annoying."
Lauren S and Elise were sent home. Elise didn't come as a surprise since she's the one Juan Pablo refused to kiss.
Are you happy with the results of this week's episode? Who do you want to see make it to the end on "The Bachelor" now that we've gotten to know the girls a bit better?

The discovery last year of two deceased men inside a charred vehicle in an orchard on the outskirts of Denair has now resulted in the arrest of a fifth man on murder charges.
Turlock Police detectives continue to seek information on the shooting of an 18-year-old man on a Turlock street Thursday afternoon.
Turlock police officers arrested a man Monday on drug charges after he was found undressing in the Laundromat of an apartment complex.
A man who jumped over a fence into a secured area of the Turlock Public Safety Facility was apprehended by several off-duty officers after making his way into the building.

Men should chase women because women were meant to be chased. Dating and relationships are just that simple in the book, "Text. Love. Power." By Vanessa Taylor. The big secret to dating is out.
Taylor goes into this illustrious story that starts out with her discussing her pet rabbit and by the end of the chapter, the reader gets to know Elizabeth, who has made herself easy access to a man she just met. They went out on the typical first date and she didn't hear from him. Not that shocking considering lots of people have had this experience. But what makes the situation interesting is that after a few days, Elizabeth has convinced herself that she should text the guy just to say, "Hi." Because that doesn't seem as desperate as calling him would be. He suggests she come to his apartment to have a "low-key" date. Have you heard these words before? Or maybe you've heard, "Come over and chill." Either way, it's the same thing. It means, as Taylor puts it, that the guy is not really interested in you and in fact, you are making yourself look desperate to him, which in turn, makes you even less appealing.
So what's a girl to do? Learn to love being alone. And yes, this applies to the ladies in relationships as well. Men love the chase and it shouldn't stop just because you managed to wrangle a commitment out of him. Keep yourself as a priority and your relationship should remain full of adrenaline from the continuous chase. It's not a game Taylor is speaking of, but a strategy to keep yourself in control while letting your boy toy, boyfriend or husband, think he's holding the reigns.
Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City promise to be as beautiful as last week with the high toping out at 75 degrees Saturday and 77 on Sunday. Make sure you ignore the man in your life a little bit for the rest of the week, so that by Friday night, he'll be ringing your phone off the hook to take you out because he will think, just maybe there's a possibility you are not as in to him as you use to be. And when you get the call, make sure and tell him to take you to Drunken Fish on Friday for Friday at the Fish in Power and Light. Then Saturday, tell him you want to go somewhere that has a patio, like Bravo in Zona Rosa or Mosaic in Power and Light. Both places made about.com's best outdoor bars in Kansas City list. Then to top the weekend off, go see Mike Epps at the Municipal Auditorium Sunday night. Express is having an amazing 60% off sale now, so go get something that says, "I'm too beautiful to sit in your apartment doing nothing one more night."
Until next time Kansas City.

Parts of Hilltop Drive were closed Tuesday evening as police investigated a fatal vehicle versus pedestrian accident.
60-year-old David Gilbert Holguin was hit by the vehicle and died from blunt force injuries. A witness told Redding Police that a man wearing dark clothing stumbled in front of a green 2005 Kia Sodona that was driving southbound on Hilltop just past the Mistletoe intersection about 6:40 p.m.
Police officials said the 24-year old driver didn't see the man stagger into the road in front of her and struck him.
Houlgin was transported to Mercy Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.


text: Cigar smoke wafts through the air, and families dot the open ground around the Alta House as teams of four attempt to score points by lobbing grapefruit-size balls nearest to a smaller one called the pallino. It's a familiar sight throughout the summer as dozens of teams compete in Little Italy's bocce league. Competitors range from high school students to families to retired Italian-Americans who have lived in the neighborhood for decades. We asked Alta House's manager of recreation, Mike Trivisonno, for some pointers.


text: The markers that sustain religion — holidays — can make writing about it boring beyond belief, a truism of religion reporting that's even moreso the case when it comes to civic religion and our state-designated holy days. Today is one of them, but one of the things that's making this one enjoyable for The Revealer is this intelligent piece on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s religious development from The Dallas Morning News. Read, learn, and take a holiday.

In business, they say that a company has to know its target demographic and then appeal to that group of people. Let's not get too deeply entwined in the concept of "profiling" and "stereotyping" because those words have negative connotations, but recognize that these concepts are not exactly antithetical to "appealing to a target demographic". In writing newspaper columns, I would also imagine that one should have an idea of the target demographic and "play to it". And so, with that preconceived notion in mind, I did a double take when I read the first three sentences from Ed Hinton's column on 23 February 2007 on the Orlando Sentinel's website. Ed Hinton is their NASCAR columnist; he writes well; he certainly knows more about NASCAR than I do. I suspect his "target audience" would be people who follow NASCAR closely and carefully; therefore, imagine my surprise when I read the lead to his column on the website:
"William Faulkner's slickest character, Flem Snopes, developed a fatal flaw as he rose to wealth and power. He lusted for respectability. And that was his downfall."
Pardon me for having a stereotypical mental image of his target demographic, but somehow I don't think that Flem Snopes – or his less than fully virtuous wife, Eula – are frequent topics of conversation or reference in the RV-community that comes together for NASCAR events. I even wonder if William Faulkner would be immediately associated with literature and not the theory of carburetion. In any case, the lead worked on me; I had to read the column to find out how this all tied together. So, I guess Ed Hinton really did get it right; he attracted someone from outside the target demographic and got him in under the tent…
Speaking of NASCAR and target audiences, they ran a race last weekend in California and did not come close to selling out the venue. The track seats 92,000; and when attendance figures were not immediately forthcoming, writers estimated that 70,000 – 75,000 people showed up. The spokesperson for California Speedway explained the disappointing turnout by saying that the race had to compete head-to-head with the Oscars. Think about that for a moment. People are going to go out to an event in Southern California; how many of them get into their car and ponder the choice of standing behind the ropes to watch celebrities get out of limos and walk on a red carpet or going to a NASCAR race? I don't think that explains a 20,000 shortfall of fannies in seats.
Last year when Phil Mickelson led in one of the tournaments going into the final hole and then couldn't hit the ball anywhere near the zip code of the green, commentators kept saying that he choked – again. Unless I saw a totally doctored video highlight, last weekend Tiger Woods lost a tournament because he missed a four-foot putt and the focus of the commentators and writers this week has been that it was an unfortunate circumstance for Woods because of "a ball mark in his line". If Mickelson "chokes" when he loses, then that performance last weekend from Tiger Woods was worthy of a Heimlich maneuver.
While on the subject of golf, I'm sure you've read about Fuzzy Zoeller's lawsuit based on something he claims is defamatory in his Wikipedia profile. Dwight Perry summed all of that stuff up perfectly in the Seattle Times:
"Fuzzy Zoeller is suing Miami's Josef Silny & Associates, the Miami Herald reported, claiming that one of the company's computers was the source of defamatory statements about Zoeller posted on the golfer's Wikipedia biography.
Defense lawyers immediately moved to have any actionable untruths be ruled an unpayable lie."
Former Senator George Mitchell's wide ranging inquiry into steroid use in baseball continues. Remember the story of Diogenes? He's the guy who kept roaming around shining a lantern into people's eyes looking for a truly honest man. Somehow, I think Mitchell has as much chance of uncovering the truth about steroid use in baseball as Diogenes had in finding his "truly honest man".
Mitchell has sent letters to various players and their lawyers asking them to provide medical records and to speak with him and his staff. If you are surprised to learn that none of the recipients of his letters have fallen all over themselves to accommodate his requests, then you would probably also believe that The Tooth Fairy and The Easter Bunny are involved in a sordid bestial affair. Gary Sheffield called the whole matter a witch-hunt. But the most ironic response came from Barry Bonds' representative. Bonds cannot accept Mitchell's invitation to cooperate with that investigation so long as Bonds is still at risk for a perjury charge from the Feds who are also looking into the matter. That means that Bonds is able to avoid lying to Mitchell because he may have lied to a grand jury in the past but no one knows yet whether or not what he said then can be proven to be a lie. Don't even try to parse that last sentence; even my 12th grade English teacher – who went to Mount Holyoke and was "as one with grammar and syntax" – would have to go to the reference books.
It was a big story when Manny Ramirez reported late to spring training yet again this year. I don't exactly know why because the sun came up in the east in Florida again this year and no one reported on that. I think Manny Ramirez lives in a time warp. Every other baseball player who was not involved in the World Series has been "at loose ends" since early October and they managed to figure out how to get done whatever it was they needed to get done in the four months or so that have transpired since early October. Ramirez never seems to get that right so he must live in a time warp. Maybe that explains the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle?
Finally, one more tidbit from Dwight Perry in the Seattle Times:
"Lewis Dartnell, the leader of a University College London study, has proclaimed that the surface of Mars is devoid of any possible life, SPACE.com reported.
"Or, in earthly terms, just think upper deck at a Marlins' home game."
But don't get me wrong, I love sports…

StarOffice 8
By csj on aug. 30, 2005
The localization project of StarOffice 8 to Hungarian is in a pretty good shape, although I still haven't upgraded the build on my Windows XP to the one containing the full Help localization. Here's a screenshot of the build I'm using and testing currently:
StarOffice 8 will offer some advanced migration utilities for companies wishing to migrate from a full MS Office environment. I've started to compile a list of Hungarian companies who have been doing OpenOffice.org related activities in the country during the last 4 years. There are surprisingly many of them and virtually none are Sun partners. Yet. Or at least I hope some of them will become Sun partners and together we'll be able to offer advanced Office migration services for all those companies wishing to escape the Microsoft Office tax.
I have very good feelings about this project and this product.

Do you like the most popular Gossip Girl Blake Lively? Sad to say it, lol but this hottie will never in her life do a nude scene in movies. During one of her interviews she told that all these scenes are 'distracting' and that is not what's right for her.
The 24-year-old The Savage actress says that such scenes distract her attention as if you are watching a scene and someone has their boobs out.
Blake Lively also doesn't do a lot of exercise to keep fit. She looks great for her age!

2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
Overall good SUV.
We bought it brand new in fall of 2005. But, we actually liked our 2 previous Chevy Suburbans WAY more. We got the Limited Sequoia with DVD. The 3rd row seat is actually comfortable for adults. In just 6 years, we have put approx. 130,000 miles. The gas mileage is horrible. I get 15 combined. Next cars will be a Suburban or Audi Q7 diesel for the fuel economy. Also, acceleration left something to be desired.
DVD, interior design, 3rd row seat, 4WD
Interior quality, acceleration, gas mileage, annoying engine squeak
2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV SR5 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
For a family of four this SUV takes us where we want without any bad experiences on the road. From our Chicago home to the mountain roads of Mt.Rushmore or to the Niagara Falls, two trips to New York, occasional camping trips this truck just keeps on going. I just had two repairs since I own this sequoia; one for the rear passenger ac climate control and the rear window wiper motor replaced.
The comfortable 3rd row seats come handy when I had to drive/tour visiting friends around Chicago.
less plastic materials
2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV Limited 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
Previous happy Toyota owner. I have had nothing but problems - electrical problems with this SUV since I got it. Toyota seems to not care. I tried arbitration with no luck. My car at 2 yrs old spent ONE month at the dealer maintenance only to have more electrical problems. I cannot let it idle without it wanting to stall - such a bummer when stuck in traffic!! At the time of arbitration Toyota claimed that the car is working at that instant so there is no issue, they will continue to fix problems that arise. That is not product reliability to me. I think I got stuck with the lemon.
I do like the design of the vehicle. I enjoy driving it.
Build a $48,000 car that doesn't break down. I hate having to get towed with two children along for the ride!
2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV Limited 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
This is the second Sequoia I have owned, and I could not be more pleased. My first one had 135,000 miles on it, looked and drove like new when traded. I now have 75,000 miles on the 2006, and have NEVER had a service call for any reason. I am meticulous about care and maintenance, but zero issues in 200,000 miles says it all. This one has the captains chairs in the back and DVD, which are the ultimate peacemaker on long trips. Elegant enough for two couples out on the town, yet yank the seats and its a Home Depot special. Have I mentioned I love this thing?
Unbelievable versatility, exceptional reliability.
A hybrid version would be nice, but only if it gets substantially better mileage. (GM's hybrid SUV's are a joke -- incredible complexity and expense for only a 4 MPG improvement). Toyota, can you do it better? If so, sign me up!
2006 Toyota Sequoia SUV Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
We needed a little more room with the addition of a third child to our family. We traded in our Lexus GX470 and the only thing we miss is the complimentary loaner car a few times a year for oil changes. The Sequoia goes through any mild to medium difficulty 4wd trails with no problem. On more difficult stuff, I feel a lot less guilty about bottoming out a Sequoia than a Lexus...and my pocket book doesn't pay nearly as much for the plastic you replace on the Lexus. If I had it to do over, I would have bought a Sequoia 4wd in the 1st place. Sure, the Lexus won 4wd drive magazine 4- wheeler of the year a few times, but how often do you do Rincon. I can bang my Sequoia around w/no regrets.

Freedom Theme of Lies and Deceit
We've got a few equations to suggest here. See what you think about these:
Loyalty + Lies and Deceit = Betrayal
Love + Lies and Deceit = Depression
Freedom + Betrayal = Lies and Deceit
So, what do you say: do those necessarily follow from one another? Certainly not always, but you might not know that from reading Freedom. Most of the lies and deceit in the book are based around adultery, temptation to commit adultery, and, yes, more adultery. What a mess.
Questions About Lies and Deceit
- How does Joey justify lying to Connie? Or does he even bother?
- Why don't we expect Richard to come clean to Walter, instead of continuing to lie to him about his affair with Patty?
- A possible definition of lying is any omission or exaggeration. Seen in this way, is there more or less lying than you thought in Freedom?
- Is there any one completely honest relationship in this book?

Suppose $G$ is a Hermitian $n \times n$ matrix and $A$ is some $n \times n$ matrix over complex numbers. such that $G-A^H G A$ is positive-definite.
Then can we show that $G$ is invertible?
Also, can we conclude anything about the eigenvalues of the matrix $A$ in terms of the eigenvalues of $G$ (for instance, relate the number of positive eigenvalues of $G$ with the eigenvalues of $A$ of norm less than 1)?

Lacock became used to the podium this year and continued that run into state with three top-six placements at the Class C meet in Laurel.
A pair of Raiders scored the only points for area schools at the Class C State Meet in Laurel on Friday and Saturday.
Fresh off a five-event sweep at districts and divisionals, Bethany Lacock ran into some tough competition from the other parts of the state. She was still able to place in three events, scoring all 10.33 points for the Lady Raiders, but did not take gold in any.
Lacock, a junior, was fourth in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing in 16.43 seconds. She took home the bronze in the high jump, clearing 5 feet, and tied with two others for sixth in the pole vault at 8- 6.
Lacock's total was good enough for the 17th best team mark.
Dallas Capdeville, only a sophomore, scored four points, the boys' only tallies at the two-day meet, with a fourth-place finish in the pole vault, clearing 12 feet, 6 inches. That was the same mark as three others, but how many attempts each vaulter needed to clear that mark separated the placements.
Capdeville's four points tied Hinsdale for 31st in the team scores.
Charlo took home the title with 62 points, followed by Belt's 48 and Victor at 35.
Superior won the girls' side with 58 points. Seeley-Swan was second with 46 and North Star had 41.

1.Watch Freedom for Birth
This is an abridged 15 minute version of the hour long film that has been specially designed to view and share online.
2. Join The One World Birth Revolution
Companies use online newsletter subscriptions, Facebook "likes" and Twitter to build a valuable customer base.
Instead of a customer base, what if One World Birth created a POWER BASE of like-minded individuals who are passionate about changing the world?
We want to create a community of a MILLION voices that can take immediate action from their desktops, laptops, tablets and phones. Whether it be in protest or support, that power could be directed to where it is needed most via online campaigns, petitions and words of encouragement.
Imagine being able to collect a million signatures immediately. Or having a million participants in a campaign. It's what the Internet does best: to connect and support. No one knows how effective it will be, but surely it's worth giving it a go?
Let's do it now and start changing the world together!
3. Tell 10 people
On September 20th more than 100,000 people attended over 1000 premiere screenings of Freedom for Birth in 50 countries. If each of these were to tell 10 more people to watch the film then over ONE MILLION people would become aware of Human Rights abuse in childbirth.
We need you to TELL 10 people. "Liking" and linking is one thing, but actually TELLING your friends and colleagues and making sure they watch the film is far more effective. Please send them to One World Birth and encourage them to join the revolution.
Our goal is to make the revolution go viral immediately. If this campaign works, then we could number a million within days and our voices would not just be heard, but listened to all around the world.

Created as an amusement to beguile his friend, the Marquis de Croismare, Diderot's classic work blends a gripping plot with a licentious portrayal of sexual fervour & a damning attack on oppressive religious institutions. He tells the story of Suzanne Simonon, forced into a nunnery because of illegitimacy.
Denis Diderot was a French philosopher and critic during the Age of Enlightenment. Born in 1713 in Langres, France, Diderot was educated at the University of Paris. From 1745 to 1772 he served as editor of L'Encyclopedie, which he fashioned as a journal of radical revolutionary opinion. He was a leader in the movement to challenge both church and state by furthering knowledge. Diderot also wrote several critical and philosophical works including Pensees sur l'interpretation de la nature (Thoughts on the Interpretation of Nature, 1754). In addition, he published essays based on personal experience, as well as several plays. He is recognized now as an art critic of the first rank. His Essai sur la peinture (Essay on Painting, 1796) won him posthumous praise as a critic of painting technique and aesthetics. He died in Paris in 1784.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 4, Part 4, Chapter 6 Summary
- Now we get a zoom-in of one of these battles with the diseased and bedraggled French, on November 5 in Krasnoe.
- Prisoners are taken after the butchery. They are losing limbs, ears, and noses to frostbite and have sores around their eyes.
- Kutuzov sees two French soldiers fighting like animals over a piece of raw meat.
- It's all just gross.
- But Kutuzov has to make a speech to the troops, so he first thanks them for their service, then calls for some pity and compassion for the prisoners, who are also people. Then he mentions Napoleon with some pretty raunchy swear words. Seriously, Shmoop's monocle almost fell out of our eye when we read Kutuzov calling for Bonapartists (supporters of Napoleon) to be assaulted in an unpleasant sexual fashion. (Shmoop is filling you in on the real scoop here, because most translations tend to tone down the Russian and take out the f-bomb that Tolstoy puts in.)
- This goes over like gangbusters; the soldiers laugh and cheer.
