TC TO THOMAS DE QUINCEY; 11 December 1828; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18281211-TC-TD-01; CL 4:432-435.
Craigenputtoch, 11th December, 1828—
My dear Sir,
Having the opportunity of a frank, I cannot resist the temptation to send you a few lines, were it only to signify that two well-wishers of yours are still alive in these remote moors, and often thinking of you with the old friendly feelings. My Wife encourages me in this innocent purpose: she has learned lately that you were inquiring for her, of some female Friend; nay even promising to visit us here, a fact of the most interesting sort to both of us. I am to say, therefore, that your presence at this fireside will diffuse no ordinary gladness over all members of the household; that our warmest welcome, and such solacements as even the desart does not refuse, are, at any time and at all times, in store for one we love so well. Neither is this expedition so impracticable: we lie but a short way out of your direct route to Westmoreland; communicate, by gravelled roads, with Dumfries, and other places in the habitable globe; were you to warn us of your approach, it might all be made easy enough. And then such a treat it would be to hear the sound of Philosophy and Literature, in the hitherto quite savage wolds, where since the Creation of the World no such music, scarcely even articulate speech, had been uttered or dreamed of! Come, therefore, come and see us; for we often long after you: nay I can promise too that we are almost a unique sight in the British Empire; such a quantity of German Periodicals, and mystic speculation, embosomed in plain Scottish Peat-moor being nowhere else that I know of to be met with.
In idle hours, we sometimes project founding a sort of Colony here, to be called the 'Misanthropic Society'; the settlers all to be men of a certain philosophic depth, and intensely sensible of the present state of Literature; each to have his own cottage, encircled with roses or thistles as he might prefer; a Library and pantry within, and huge stack of turf-fuel without; fenced off from his neighbours by fir woods, and when he pleased, by cast-metal railing; so that each might feel himself strictly an individual, and free as a son of the Wilderness: but the whole Settlement to meet weekly over coffee; and there unite in their Miserere; or what were better, hurl forth their defiance, pity, expostulation, over the whole universe civil, literary and religious. I reckon this place a much fitter site for such an Establishment than your Lake Country; a region abounding in natural beauty, but blown on by coach horns, betrodden by picturesque Tourists, and otherwise exceedingly desecrated by too frequent resort; whereas here, tho' still in communication with the manufacturing world, we have a solitude altogether Druidical, grim hills tenanted chiefly by the wild grouse, tarns and brooks that have soaked and slumbered u[n]molested since the Deluge of Noah, and nothing to disturb you with speech, except Arcturus and Orion, and the Spirit of Nature, in the Heaven and in the Earth, as it manifests itself in anger or love, and utters its inexplicable tidings, unheard by the mortal ear. But the misery is: the almost total want of Colonists! Would you come hither, and be king over us; then indeed we had made a fair beginning, and the 'Bog School' might snap its fingers at the 'Lake School' itself, and hope to be one day recognised of all men.
But enough of this fooling! Better were it to tell you in plain prose what little can be said of my own welfare; and inquire in the same dialect after yours. It will gratify you to learn that, here in the desart, as in the crowded city, I am moderately active and well; better in health, not worse, and tho' active only on the small scale, yet in my own opinion honestly, and to as much result as has been usual with me at any time. We have horses to ride on, gardens to cultivate, tight walls and strong fires to defend us against Winter; books to read, paper to scribble on; and no man or thing, at least in this visible Earth, to make us afraid; for I reckon that so securely sequestered are we, not only would no Catholic rebellion, but even no new Hengist-and-Horsa Invasion, in any wise disturb our tranquillity. True, we have no society; but who has, in the strict sense of that word? I have never had any, worth speaking much about, since I came into this world: in the next, it may be, they will order matters better. Meanwhile, if we have not the wheat, in great quantity, we are nearly altogether free from the chaff, which often in this matter is highly annoying to weak nerves. My Wife and I are busy learning Spanish; far advanced in Don Quixote already: I purpose writing mystical Reviews for somewhat more than a Twelvemonth to come; have Greek to read, and the whole Universe to study (for I understand less and less of it); so that here as well as elsewhere I find that a man may 'dree his wierd' [endure his destiny] (serve out his earthly Apprenticeship) with reasonable composure; and wait what the flight of years may bring him, little disappointed (unless he is a fool) if it bring him mere nothing—save what he has already, a Body and a Soul, more cunning and costly treasures than all Golconda and Potosi could purchase for him. What would the vain worm, Man, be at? Has he not a Head, to speak of nothing else, a Head (be it with a Hat or without one) full of far richer things than Windsor Palace, or the Brighton Teapot1 added to it? What are all Dresden Picture-galleries, and Magazines des Arts et des Mètiers [of the Arts and Handicrafts] to the strange painting, and thrice wonderful and thrice precious workmanship that goes on under the cranium of a Beggar? What can be added to him, or taken from him, by the hatred or love of all men? The gray-paper, or the white silk-paper, in which the gold-ingot is wrapped: the gold is inalienable; he is the gold.— But truce also to this moralizing! I had a thousand things to ask, concerning you; your employments, purposes, sufferings and pleasures. Will you not write to me, will you not come to me and tell? Believe it, you are well loved here; and none feels better than I what a spirit is for the present eclipsed in clouds. For the present it can only be: time and chance are for all men; that troublous season will end; and one day with more joyful, not deeper or truer regard, I shall see you 'yourself again.'2 Meanwhile, pardon me this intrusion; and write, if you have a vacant hour which you would fill with a good action— Mr Jeffrey is still anxious to know you: has he ever succeeded? We are not to be in Edinburgh I believe till spring; but I will send him a Letter to you (with your permission) by the first conveyance.— Remember me with best regards to Professor Wilson and Sir W. Hamilton, neither of whom must forget me; not omitting the honest Gordon who, I know will not.
The bearer of this Letter is Henry Inglis, a young gentleman of no ordinary talent and worth; in whom, as I believe, es steckt gar viel [there is quite a bit]. Should he call, himself, pray let this be an introduction, for he reverences all spiritual worth, and you also will learn to love him.— With all friendly sentiments, I am ever, My Dear Sir,
Most faithfully Your's, /
T. Carlyle.
The address is: Craigenputtoch, Dumfries, And for speed our surest day is Wednesday, the Market of that Burgh.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State women's basketball head coach June Daugherty announced the promotion of Brian Holsinger to associate head coach Wednesday.
Holsinger, who has been an assistant during Daugherty's seven seasons at Washington State, serves as the Cougars recruiting and defensive coordinator. He has helped guide the Cougars to the Pac-12 Conference Tournament semifinal round twice in the last three seasons and earn a trip to the 2014 WNIT, WSU's first postseason appearance since 1991.
"Promoting Brian to the "Associate Head Coach" title is a tribute to his dedication, outstanding work and loyalty to the Crimson and Gray," Daugherty stated. "He is well deserving of this recognition due to the quality of coaching/recruiting he brings every day to our basketball family. The enthusiastic passion he exudes to ensure every one of our student-athletes excels on and off the court is outstanding."
Holsinger has helped put together several nationally-ranked recruiting classes for the Cougars. The 2011 class featured the Greater Spokane League's All-Time leading scorer Tia Presley (Spokane, Wash.), who has become a two-time All-Pac-12 selection. The 2012 class featured six freshmen from all over the country highlighted by a pair of talented players from Hawaii including three-time state player of the year Lia Galdeira who has earned All-Pac-12 recognition in each of her first two seasons. The 2014 recruiting class shaped up to be one of the Cougars most accomplished in program history, receiving praise from Blue Star Basketball as one of the top recruiting classes in the country. The seven-member class features four players from overseas including the ninth-ranked international prospect in 6-3 forward Louise Brown out of Australia, Washington 2A Player of the Year Nike McClure, Oregon 6A All-State selection Ashley Bolston and Los Angeles All-Area selection Caila Hailey.
Holsinger has helped lead the charge toward a ferocious Cougar defense, producing four Pac-12 All-Defensive Team selections in the last three seasons and seen at least one Cougar placed on the All-Defensive team in five of the last six seasons. WSU has been among the conference leaders in steals and blocks in each of the past couple seasons, posting the third-most steals in the Pac-12 last season while tying for the second-most blocks. Holsinger also recruited and helped develop former center Carly Noyes who led the conference in blocks as a freshman and left WSU as the school's all-time leader in blocked shots and games played. Galdeira led the Pac-12 in steals as a freshman and finished second in steals last season, receiving Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honors both years.

On the eve of one of the biggest days in the history of the WWE, a little event known as the Elimination Chamber will take place and try not to get over shadowed by tomorrow's launch of the WWE Network.
Fans can only hope that the Elimination Chamber pay per view will fill in the enormous gaps still left open in the upcoming Wrestlemania 30. As it stands the only thing that is for sure about the WWE's biggest event of the year is that Batista will meet the WWE world heavyweight champion. While I believe Batista is often underrated by many fans, that is not enough to get excited about with just seven weeks to go.
This year's Elimination Chamber will come to us from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The main event match is of course the Elimination Chamber match itself which will be for the WWE world heavyweight championship. The participants for the match include champion Randy Orton, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Shameaus, and Christian.
The obvious pick to win here is Orton. There has been some speculation that Brock Lesnar could somehow work his way into the match and win so if you are looking for a switch that could be the way to go. Daniel Bryan is clearly the hottest guy in the WWE right now but it looks like the WWE is set on making the fans wait to get what most of them want and that is Bryan as the champ.
Other possibilities for the match could include a showing from the Wyatt family, perhaps to interfere and cause John Cena to be eliminated. We saw some seeds planted between Cena and the Wyatts get planted with their involvement in Cena's match with Orton at the Roya Rumble.
The second biggest match on the card is the much anticipated showdown between the Wyatts and the Shield. This match seems a little rushed and hopefully we will get more out of this feud then what we have seen thus far. The likely finish to me would see the Wyatts win because of a miss-communication between Ambrose and Reigns. This continues to build the Wyatts and also pushes us closer to the eventual break up of the Shield.
Third on the list of bouts is Batista's first televised singles match since returning to the WWE. He meets Alberto Del Rio. Since the WWE doesn't seem concerned with building Alberto this is an obvious squash match. I would rather see these guys have a good match as I think Batista can preform on the big stage and Del Rio is very strong in the ring. However, with rumors that Del Rio could be on his way out and Batista on his way to Wrestlemania, making Batista look unstoppable will likely be the focus of this match.
I do not think that anyone really gives Jack Swagger a chance of defeating Big E. A shock title change would be great, but it is hard to see that happening.
The New Age Outlaws or the Old Age Outlaws as some have quipped should get the win over the Usos but only to set up a longer program between the two teams. The Usos are deserving of a run with the WWE tag titles but a longer program with the Outlaws could really help establish the Usos as the top team in the WWE.
The afterthought match on this card is the explosion of the Prime Time Players. In my humble opinion, splitting up these two as a team was a mistake. That is not to say that some time down the road that both of these guys could have solid runs as singles wrestlers, it is just that at this point it looks like they will be much better as a team than they will be as singles wrestlers. Darren Young defeats Titus O'Neil in an upset to continue their feud.
Tonight's Elimination pay per view will be the final WWE event to air only on pay per view. From here on out every major event will be made available to subscribers of the WWE Network. Many fans may be looking at the event itself but the fact that this is final event in the pay per view era of the WWE is significant in itself.
WWE Elimination Chamber airs live on pay per view at 7:00 p.m. central time.

The Madfish label, produced by Howard Park, offers pure, fresh and clean fruit driven wines that are often seen gracing the tables of cafés and at backyard barbeques from Broome to Rottnest Island on the coast of Western Australia. Its following is mirrored in Sydney and Melbourne where Madfish devotees are keen to share in a taste of the enviable lifestyle of the west coast.
Howard Park first released the Madfish label in 1992 with the Madfish White, soon followed by the Madfish Red in 1993. Today they produce a number of styles, namely the much-lauded Madfish Chardonnay and Shiraz. These contemporary styles are made from cool climate fruit with an emphasis on enjoyment and drinkability.
The traditional aboriginal water turtle design on the label is a symbol of perseverance and tolerance – no doubt characteristics displayed by the poor fish in Madfish Bay who are constantly under attack by their predators. View all Mad Fish Wines

College Hockey:Harvard Tabs Mazzoleni
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard University athletic director Bill Cleary named Miami head coach Mark Mazzoleni as the new head man of the Crimson on Sunday. Mazzoleni will be formally introduced in a press conference on Wednesday.
Mazzoleni will take over a Harvard program that has not had a winning season since 1993-94 — the year of Harvard's last ECAC Championship. Over the course of the last five years, the Crimson have a record of 66-85-10, have appeared in two ECAC semifinals and one ECAC final.
Mazzoleni will replace Ronn Tomassoni, who resigned on May 14 after nine years at the helm of the Crimson compiling a 140-115-26 record.
"Mark's background at outstanding schools, his long track record of success, and his enthusiasm for the sport and the way it's meant to be played were key factors in his selection," said Cleary, who chaired the selection committee and himself coached the Crimson hockey program between 1971 and 1990.
"I was very honored first to be considered and then to be offered the hockey coaching position at Harvard," said Mazzoleni. "I have great respect for the program's rich history, and was drawn to the school because it is so consistent with my beliefs philosophically. It needed to be a perfect fit for me to leave Miami.
"The job ahead is both a tremendous challenge and a great opportunity. The commitment to building and maintaining a successful program here is evident, and I am confident in my abilities to lead Harvard hockey to this success."
Mazzoleni has compiled a 85-83-20 record at Miami, a school-best winning percentage-wise, over the course of five seasons. Last year the Red Hawks were 11-20-5 and missed the CCHA playoffs by one point in the standings. In 1996-97, Mazzoleni was named the CCHA Coach of the Year after guiding the Red Hawks to a 27-12-1 record, matching a school record for wins, and a second NCAA tournament appearance after a second place CCHA finish.
"We would like to thank Mark for all of his hard work here at Miami," said Joel Maturi, Miami director of athletics. "It is very evident from his record and all the accolades he has received why he is such a highly sought after head coach. In his time at Miami, he has enhanced his outstanding reputation as head coach not only in the CCHA but nationally. We wish him the best as he takes over the head coaching position at Harvard."
"Miami has lost another valued member of its prestigious 'Cradle of Coaches'," said Steve Cady, associate director of athletics for ice hockey and former Miami head ice hockey coach. "Mark has done a terrific job building on the tradition of hockey we have here at Miami. We would like to thank him for all the hard work and dedication he has given to the program and Miami. He has helped Miami move into the national spotlight with his efforts the last five years."
Before guiding Miami, Mazzoleni was an assistant at Minnesota for four seasons. Prior to that he was the head coach at Wisconsin-Stevens Point for six seasons. While at Stevens Point, he coached three consecutive Division III NCAA Champions, the first time that a team had done that at the Division III level.
Mazzoleni was one of three finalists reported to be on the final list that Cleary had. The other two were Yale's Tim Taylor and St. Lawrence's Joe Marsh. Taylor withdrew his name on July 15 and Marsh withdrew on July 10.
Mazzoleni becomes just the tenth head coach in Harvard hockey history and fourth since 1950. The Crimson recovered from a 2-8-1 start last season to finish 14-16-2. The Crimson also started the ECAC season with an 0-8-1 record to finish 8-12-2 in the league and finishing eighth.
Meanwhile, Miami will begin its search for a head coach immediately.

Yesterday U.S. Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) announced that general counsel and senior vice president of governmental affairs Suzanne Rich Folsom was named the Leader of the Year at the 2014 Women in Compliance Awards in London. She was honored for her work in corporate governance and compliance. She has a proven history of transforming companies legal and compliance programs into gold standards. The award was judged by panel from the United Kingdom, the European Union, United States and the global compliance and regulatory sector. Some of the nominees in this category were from Google, AECOM and Novo Nordisk.
As a producer of integrated steel, U.S. Steel Corporation (USX) is headquartered in Pittsburgh and has operations in Canada, Europe and the U.S. The Mario Longhi, president and CEO, is testifying in the House Steel Caucus Hearing in Washington D.C. today. He and fellow testifiers will speak on the state of the steel industry and trade, tax, energy, environment and infrastructure policy impact on the steel business.
The challenges facing the steel industry are reorganization and harsh impact of financial movement. These companies are not going anywhere but are not on the edge of fallout. They seem to gain money on the options market with short term gains than on long term investments. These companies have operated at a loss last year, and ArcelorMittal seems to be the market leader in this sector as it has diversified business segments.
USX is ranked fourth within their related companies in the basic materials sector of the NYSE. The top five companies in order are Posco (ADR), Worthington Industries, Ternium S.A., USX and Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. The basic materials sector are companies involved in locating, developing and process raw materials. USX is an integrated steel producer supplying to the automotive, appliance, container, industrial machinery, construction and oil/gas industries.

In a joint operation of the IDF and the ISA (14 Nov 2012), Ahmed Said Halil Jabari, chief of the Hamas military arm in the Gaza Strip, was killed. Jabari was responsible for all Hamas terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip during the last decade.
Jabari was involved in planning and arranging funding for military activities and terrorist attacks against Israel.
During the last few years, Jabari led Hamas's military arm in a series of events that shaped the reality in the Gaza Strip - such as the Hamas take-over in 2007, and directing the cycles of escalation against Israel.
Jabari was involved in orchestrating the attack in June 2006 in which several IDF soldiers were killed and the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped.
After Shalit was kidnapped, and throughout the years of negotiating a deal for his release, Jabari headed the Hamas negotiation team and took an extremist and hawkish position.
Jabari, 52, a resident of Gaza, was involved in military activity from the early 1980s and served until his death as the senior military commander of Hamas. In the past he was close to Hamas founder Sheikh Yassin and operated under his patronage. Jabari started his military career in Fatah and took part in a number of terrorist attacks on Israeli targets. For these activities he was imprisoned in Israel for thirteen years, serving a sentence from 1982 until his release in January 1995.
Already in 1995 Jabari began to manage an association for the support and benefit of Hamas prisoners and up until today managed the Nur Association for the aid of released Hamas prisoners, which was under the auspices of Sheikh Yassin. In this role he managed a huge system of financial transfers to support Hamas inmates and their families and the families of killed terrorists.
While in prison, Jabari joined the Hamas organization and served as the representative of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad prison inmates. His years in prison, his extreme views and his prison activities assured Jabari of a senior position in the Hamas leadership upon his release.
Since his release from prison, Jabari was involved in various activities and senior positions in the Hamas organization. He simultaneously served as the senior military commander, directed terrorist cells throughout the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and was involved in arms smuggling, as well as fulfilling various organizational positions in the movement.
As part of the top military echelon, he was involved in promoting and implementing a series of major terror attacks.

like all Indian departments this looks like a money making scheme and has information scattered all over the place. Has anyone had this issue? How did you deal with it? Are there any lawyers who can advice?
The following are main provision for surrender of Indian Passport:
Under Indian law, Persons of Indian Origin, who have acquired foreign citizenship, are required to surrender their Indian passports to the nearest Indian Mission/Post immediately after acquisition of foreign citizenship. Person of Indian Origin who have already acquired foreign citizenship till 31.5.2010 are required to surrender their passports whether valid or expired to the respective Indian Mission. They will now have to pay £14(Pound fourteen) only towards Miscellaneous service charge and would not be required to pay any fee under Citizenship Act. However, those Indian citizens who acquire foreign citizenship from 1.6.2010 onwards will have to pay Rs.7,000/- (to be collected in local currency at official rate of exchange fixed by Government of India from time to time) along with a declaration of renunciation of their Indian Citizenship. The revised fee is effective form 01.06.2010. The information regarding applicable fee could be viewed atwww.mha.nic.in/uniquepage.asp?ID_PK=77.
2. The Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, does not allow dual citizenship. Holding Indian passport/acquiring Indian passport/travelling on Indian passport after acquisition of foreign citizenship constitutes an offence under the Indian Passport Act, 1967, and attracts penalties. The Government of India has prescribed imposition of penalty on a graded scale, depending on number of trips made on Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality, for the violation of Passport Rules and retention of Indian Passport for more than 3 years after acquiring of foreign nationality. The fee structure is as given below:-
The fee/penalty will be collected at official rate of exchange fixed by the Government of India for each month and rounded off to the next number.

2012 Patriot League Golf Schedule
Center Valley, Pa. - Army narrowly held off Navy and Lafayette to win last year's Patriot League Golf Championship, and the golf head coaches and sports information directors across the League are predicting a repeat in 2012 as the Black Knights finished just ahead of the Mids and Leopards in polling heading into the spring season.
Army claimed the top spot in the Patriot League Golf Championship poll with 63 points and eight first-place votes. Navy followed with 60 points and four first-place votes, while Lafayette came in third with 55 points and a first-place vote. Bucknell, which will host the 2012 Patriot League Golf Championship on April 28-29, claimed the remaining first-place vote and 44 points to finish fourth in the rankings. Lehigh (28), Holy Cross (23) and Colgate (21) rounded out the poll, where coaches and sports information directors were not allowed to vote for their own teams.
The 2012 Patriot League Men's Golf Championship will be held in Lewisburg, Pa., at the Bucknell Golf Course on April 28-29. The format is a two-day, 54-hole tournament, with 36 holes of play on Saturday and 18 holes scheduled for Sunday. The Patriot League champion will earn the League's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Army won the 2011 Patriot League Golf Championship at the Naval Academy Golf Course with a 54-hole score of 870, holding off the host Mids by four strokes. Lafayette was just nine strokes back with an 879. The trio has taken three of the past four Patriot League titles, with Lafayette winning the crown in 2010 after Navy in 2008. Bucknell won the Patriot League title in 2009.
Seven of the 10 All-Patriot League selections from last year's championship return to the course in 2012, including four of the first-team honorees. Navy's David Hall, the 2011 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, and Lafayette's Carter Rufe tied for second place last year, while Army's Anthony Kim and Holy Cross' Steve Zychowski shared fourth at the 2011 Patriot League Championship. Navy's Tim Shield, Lehigh's Doug Marcincin and Lafayette's Rob Robertson were all second-team selections, and Robertson also won the Patriot League individual title while leading the Leopards to the team crown in 2010.
Six teams gathered in a prelude to the Patriot League Championship in September, and if the first event at Bucknell Golf Course was any indication the 2012 Championship will be wide open. Army finished in second place overall and led all Patriot League schools with an 866 in the 54-hole tournament, and was closely followed by Lafayette (869), Bucknell (872), Navy (875), Lehigh (877) and Colgate (880).
Multiple spring events will feature more than one Patriot League team in the field, highlighted by Bucknell, Colgate, Lafayette and Lehigh all joining the host at the Navy Invitational the week before the Patriot League Championship. For the full 2012 Patriot League golf schedule, go here

Alice Adams – George Stevens
If Alice's romance has reached a crisis point on this hot, humid evening, so have the affairs of her father. Walter tells him he has embezzled one hundred and fifty dollars from Lamb's firm and could be sent to jail. Lamb himself pays a visit and informs Adams he is starting a glue factory of his own, which will mean ruin for Adams. Though Alice's hopes may have been destroyed, she is determined to save her father's dreams if she can. In an emotional scene she persuades Lamb that it is the fault of her and her mother that her father defected. After her plea Lamb agrees to work something out to save both her father and her brother.
The film continues in this fairy-tale manner as Alice goes back out onto the porch to find Russell still there. She will keep her Prince Charming and have a happy ending. When Russell tells her he loves her, her response is the most natural and unaffected thing she says in the whole film—"Gee Whiz!"
Although Alice Adams makes some trenchant comments on middle-class society, particularly in the dance and dinner scenes, and although the argu¬ments between Mr. and Mrs. Adams are sharply realized and almost painful to watch, the film is not wholly successful as social commentary, primarily because of the unrealistic happy ending which was tacked on by the scriptwriters. In the Booth Tarkington novel on which the film was based, Russell leaves and does not return, and Alice actually does climb the stairs to the business college to get a job. It is doubtful, however, that the moviegoing public of the 1930's would have accepted such a downbeat ending (or so the studio believed). Even Tarkington thought the novel's ending would have to be changed before it could be filmed.
Aside from the ending, the film is a perfectly realized portrait of an intelligent, socially ambitious young woman, struggling to find a foothold in a society that has left her and her family behind. At a time when a woman's only socially acceptable career was marriage, Alice looked upon a job as the last resort, and as one which would spell the end of her social aspirations.
The role is sensitively played by a luminous, tremulous Katharine Hepburn. Although Alice's mannerisms and snobbishness are tiresome, we nevertheless become emotionally involved with her and sympathize with her. This is due in no small measure to Hepburn's skill at letting the essential loneliness and vulnerability of the heroine shine through her artificial society manners. It is one of Hepburn's most memorable performances of the 1930's. The rest of the cast lends excellent support, particularly Fred Stone and Ann Shoemaker as Alice's parents, and Hattie McDaniel in a bit part as the hapless Malena. Fred MacMurray is not required to do much except look handsome and romantic, but he is certainly credible as the Prince Charming of a young woman's dreams. All in all, the film is a touching, sometimes realistic, some¬times romantic portrait of small-town life.

The New One Direction Album: More Gossip
What we really want to know is what the album will be called, we've got a couple of suggestions below:
- "We Eat The Wanted For Breakfast"
or what about…
- "Bieber Cleans Our Shoes"
…Oh how we giggle
Anyway, Niall Horan has revealed a few more secrets about their forthcoming new album, and talking on 'In Demand With Alex James' about which song they want to release first, he said:
"We haven't actually picked one [song] yet."
Louis added:
"We're going to be picking it very soon, very soon. There's two or three…there are about three songs that are all good contenders."
Pressed on whether the highly-rumoured colab with Justin Bieber would surfaced, Louis said:
"There's actually been no talks between either of us. I think it's a story the press has stirred up. We'd like to have a collaboration on the album, but who knows?"
We'll take the "who knows" bit as confirmation then…

SAINSBURY'S hopes a decision on its plans to convert the B and Q superstore at Stairfoot is now just weeks away.
The B and Q building off Bleachcroft Way is currently restricted to the sale of DIY products only but the supermarket giant is hopeful this will be lifted by Barnsley Council in July.
It submitted its plans in January and under the proposals, up to 400 jobs could be created.
The 73,500 sq ft site would include a new store entrance, toilets and cash machines, a cafe and mezzanine level and a reconfigured car park to improve traffic circulation.
It will also include bakery, delicatessen, meat and fish and hot food counters.
A spokesman said: "At the moment a date is yet to be confirmed, but we anticipate that it may be in July and we'll be sure to keep the community updated.
"Should planning permission be granted Sainsbury's would work with B and Q and Barnsley Council to bring forward our proposals."

Speculative Enigmatic Philosophy is a book about Philosophy. It contains contemporary philosophical views and theories. Written for a general readership, Speculative Enigmatic Philosophy, attempts to shed some light, via analysis, on topics of both philosophical and general interest. This monograph is the effect of hard work and due thought.
The author navigates through topics ranging from Causation, which was raised by Aristotle, to Perfection and Time amongst others. The views of the author will make the reader want to put himself in the author's shoes to better understand the core of each chapter. The book is one based on quality rather than quantity. The abstract aspect of some of the topics raised makes it worth the effort of reading.
One thing, amongst others, which is really great about this book, is the fact that author left a few quotes. Quotes of his own which will for sure make the reader cogitate about them. As means of an end, from the title itself, the author points out that the issues raised are in a speculative sense.

Questlove Breaks Down New York's Fried-Chicken Scene in Six Easy Steps
Of course he likes his own the best.
Roots drummer and budding restaurateur Ahmir Thompson, who's better known to the world as Questlove, takes to Immaculate Infatuation to cheekily plug his Chelsea Market fried-chicken stand, in the process revealing an ad hoc taxonomy of his picks for the city's best fried chicken. Onetime rival David Chang gets high marks for his spiced variety at Momofuku, Blue Ribbon and En are mentioned, and Mission Chinese gets a shout, but the highest praise, of course, goes to his own restaurant, about which the musician-polymath declares "nothing can compare to the Hy this bird provides." Sounds about right, but Quest also mentions Doug E.'s Fresh Chicken & Waffles, which has been closed for a while, and meanwhile, where's Charles' Pan-Fried Chicken?

Bitcoin has been expanding in its acceptance in London the past several months but no statement from England on how they plan to define Bitcoin until today. The Bank of England according to Coin Desk this morning has released a paper defining Bitcoin and how it should be viewed in the world of monetary exchange.
The Bank of England which has been keenly aware of the popular rise in Bitcoin due to its ability to move monetary transactions around the world in a peer-to-peer network has placed Bitcoin in the role as a commodity and released this statement in its report out this morning, 'digital currencies are not at present widely used as a medium of exchange. Instead, their popularity largely derives from their ability to serve as an asset class. As such they may have more conceptual similarities to commodities, such as gold, than money.'
The Bank of England is keen to make a distinction between e-money that is used in Pay Pal or Google wallet in the sense that it is attached to a system of value. Digital currency such as Bitcoin does not have a value connected to anything but the production of it on a computer program and it is a complicated one. Since the supply of digital currency is limited and the rate of exchange is not fixed it is distinctly different from e money that can be based on currency and exchange rates.
Although the Bank of England and the European Central Bank (ECB) have issued warnings regarding the volatility of Bitcoin and the risks of fraud and international theft through hacking, the Bank of England does raise alarm or concern over the digital currency. Its report states, 'The current levels of economic activity and payments involving bitcoin are too light to have a material impact on [the bank's] monetary or financial stability objectives in the short term.'
The Bank of England's chief cashier, Chris Salmon, views Bitcoin as 'innovative' and can be a complement to regular currency money.
Bitcoin is finding its place across the globe. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has announced today that it will regulate Bitcoin and states today, 'MAS is taking a targeted regulatory approach to virtual currencies to specifically address money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Consumers and businesses should take note of the broader risks that dealing in virtual currencies entails and should exercise the necessary caution.'
Singapore will treat Bitcoin as it does cash transactions that exist with money changers in the country.

Carson Palmer and Doug Martin led their respective positions in fantasy production in week nine. I could have told you both would have had quality games, but I can honestly say I would have never picked either one to be the top guy – much less top-five, probably.
But one week changes a lot. Martin is now a borderline top-five guy from now until eternity, while Palmer's knack for putting up yardage on a routine basis makes him a casual flirter with top-10 fantasy football production. Maybe. Perhaps.
All we know for sure is that there are always going to be those random breakout performances that no one really saw coming. For the rest of it, we just have to use history, numbers, matchups, logic and that big, round, feverish gut we've got hanging over our belts.
I'm sticking with mine – Palmer and Martin be damned.
With that, let's parachute jump into week 10's fantasy football last second decisions:
Injury Channel
Jake Locker, QB, Tennessee Titans (Shoulder)
Locker is expected to start barring any setbacks, and I think he's ready to pick up where he left off. He's basically still a rookie, but he's a freak athlete with a cannon arm. That should equate to some magical things against a spotty Miami pass D.
Brady Quinn, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (Head)
Quinn is out. I know you'll miss him dearly. Matt Cassel is available, but you really shouldn't use him against the Steelers. Or against invisible people.
Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seattle Seahawks (Wrist/Back)
Lynch is a bit banged up, but he'll play against the Jets this week. New York has been burned against the run a ton this year, so Lynch is easily a top-10 fantasy option.
Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (Head)
Charles has passed all of his concussion tests, so it looks like he'll face the Steelers on Monday Night Football. He's explosive and can get it done against anyone, but this would be a fantastic week to sit him if you can afford to.
Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders (Ankle)
McFadden has a bad ankle sprain and is highly questionable for week 10. He still could give it a go, but the injury and his sketchy season so far make him a major risk against the Ravens. His top backup, Mike Goodson, is also unlikely to play.
Darren Sproles, RB, New Orleans Saints (Hand)
Sproles will miss at least one more game with a broken hand. Pierre Thomas will continue in his role, while Chris Ivory will operate as the main back (even if he's not the actual starter).
DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys (Foot)
Don't bank on Murray playing this week. The Cowboys need him, but his bum foot will get at least one more week of rest. Felix Jones should get the majority of carries again this week.
Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit Lions (Knee)
Megatron is in no danger of missing action this week. He's better off than he as last week at this time, and that's after torching the Jaguars. I love him against the Vikings this week.
Percy Harvin, WR, Minnesota Vikings (Ankle)
Harvin's ankle is mangled, but he's not a guarantee sit call just yet. I'd be a little scared to use him, but you know he'll touch the ball a ton if he plays. Just stay on top of his status up until kickoff.
Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants (Knee)
Nicks still has that troublesome knee, but he's likely to face the Bengals this week. The matchup could work for him, but he's not healthy and has been pretty quiet for several weeks now. It should be another big day for Victor Cruz.
Stevie Johnson, WR, Buffalo Bills (Thigh)
Johnson is on the injury report with a sore thigh, but should play against the Patriots. New England and Buffalo have combined for over 60 points in their last three outings, so expect a solid game if Johnson suits up.
Aaron Hernandez, TE, New England Patriots (Ankle)
Hernandez's ankle still isn't where it needs to be, but he's had two weeks to rest and has a shot at playing this week. The matchup with the Bills is inviting, but his status is shaky.
Owen Daniels, TE, Houston Texans (Hip)
Daniels is dealing with a crazy sore hip and has been limited all week, making it a tough road to make him a full-fledged start this week. Head coach Gary Kubiak alluded to as much, so monitor his status heading into game day.
Crescent Role Watch
Andre Brown vs. Ahmad Bradshaw (red-zone)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Bradshaw is still the full-blown starter and a solid RB2, but fantasy owners might be raising eyebrows over the red-zone results. After all, Brown has a rushing score in three straight games, while Ahmad has just one. I say keep the panic at bay and realize this: Bradshaw has carries to Brown's five over that three-game span. Color it luck and stop banking on Brown to rescue you in the Flex spot. Sooner or later it'll catch up with you.
Steelers Ground Attack and the Men Not Named Mike Wallace
Isaac Redman is the only healthy Steelers running back, so look for him to get the majority of work as the team's lead runner against the Chiefs on MNF. Jonathan Dwyer should return and have a roll, but Pitt looks to ride the hot hand. Since Redman is the healthier one and did well last week, expect it to be him.
There is a similar issue at wide receiver with Antonio Brown out this week, and it's coming down to Emmanuel Sanders vs. Jerricho Cotchery. Cotch played more last week, but Sanders was the one to score a touchdown. Look for Sanders to get the start opposite of Mike Wallace and have a WR3-esque game against Kansas City.
Matchup Mahem
The Battle of Fantasy Gettysburg
Josh Freeman, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Eli Manning, QB, New York Giants
Freeman against a pretty good Chargers defense or Eli rolling in an ugly drought? I'm actually leaning towards Freeman's run hitting a snag this week, and Eli getting back on track against a beatable Bengals defense. Go with Manning.
Marcel Reece, RB, Oakland Raiders vs. Taiwan Jones, RB, Oakland Raiders
Jones is supposedly slated for the early down work, but I'm not buying him as the better value. After all, once Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson went down last week (both should be out in week 10), it was Reece, not Jones, who saw a ton of work (8 rec, 90 + yds, TD). If the Raiders get down against the Ravens (and they will), Reece will once again be active as a receive rout of the back-field.
Brian Hartline, WR, Miami Dolphins vs. Danny Amendola, WR, St. Louis Rams
Amendola makes his return this week, which is awesome. But he faces the 49ers, which is not. I know they're both underrated white guys, but Hartline actually returned to relevance last week (100+ yds, 7 rec), and he gets a weak Titans D. I like Hartline.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings vs. Brandon Myers, TE, Oakland Raiders
I was very high on Rudolph going into the season, and for a while I was looking pretty smart. Unfortunately, Christian Ponders has sunk to new lows (under 70 pass yds in 2 of last 3 games), and Rudy simply can't be trusted. He's worth a shot in the dark in TD leagues, but Myers is a PPR beast and even scored twice last week. Start Myers with confidence.
I know this column can't possibly answer everything, so for everything else, hit me up on Twitter @NFLSoupKevin. I'm not always able to get to every question on the message boards below this article (although I certainly will try), but I should hit every question I get on Twitter.
I am in yahoo PPR league (TD's worth 5) and down 13.86 points. Have both Bowe and Sanders for tonights contest…which one would you recommend starting? Thanks
I'd still go Bowe here. As long as Cassel is there he'll at least get targets, while Sanders is hit or miss. He's starting, but he's not Antonio Brown and doesn't have Bowe's upside.
10 Team PPR, I'm in 2nd, 3rd place wants to set up a trade. Do you see a trade that could work at all? My team: Luck, Cruz, Marshall, Wayne, Rice, AP, Gates, Dez, Eli, DMC, Joique, Vernon, Amendola, Beanie. His team: Staff, Shorts, B lloyd, Wright, Foster, Ridley, Hernandez, Ballard, Harvin, Redman, Finley, Sproles, Alexander, Taiwan
14 Team PPR: Would you rather have Daryl Richardson or Chris Ivory on your bench?
14 Team PPR: I am still undecided whether I should start Crabtree or Britt as my WR3…
Crabtree is safer but Britt has the upside. Way better matchup and Locker back gives him extra potential. I like Britt here.
Hey Kevin…Looking at adding Britt to my bench the playoff run. Would you drop Redman or Reece to make room? Probably not starting either this week, FYI. Thanks!
You can drop either, as Steelers backfield is crowded and getting healthy and Run DMC and Goodson won't be out forever. I'd probably drop Reece though, since Redman has proven himself more
14 Team PPR: Super weak at rb2, would you trade for Charles? My team: Staff, Mega, Decker, Crabtree, Martin, Andre Brown, Bennett, Janikowski, Britt, Alex Green, Alex Smith, Kendall Hunter, Beanie. His Team: Brees VJax, Cruz, Boldin, Bradshaw, Ridley, Keller, Charles, Pitta, Ponder, Dwyer, Redman. Charles kind of seems like a gamble.
Charles is a gamble, but so is rolling with your current RBs. it'll be nice to get Beanie back, but you're relying on a guy who's been hurt all year to stay healthy. I'd make the move
Thanks. After looking at both of our rosters, what kind of trade do you think I should propose?
In a 8 team league, is it safe to drop S-Jax? My rostered RB's include….Charles, Mcgahee, Matthews, DMC and Demarco on IR.
8-team, yeah. but I still wouldn't drop him if you can help it. thats some monster depth if you can hang onto him
Absolutely need a W this week: Gates or Hernandez? .5ppr
Love both. I'll say Hern because he played well against them last time, seems healthy, and Pats and Bills have put up at least 60 combined pts in 3 straight games
Actually, just caught that Hern is out this week. Gates should do fine against weak TB pass D.
Reece or j-stew as my 2nd rb behind charles in a full ppr league?
Stew. neither are locks for any number of touches, but Stew has more upside
Middling Maclin, Tattered Titus or Emerging Emmanuel PPR?
All three are sketchy to a certain degree. Maclin is facing a top 5 Cowboys pass D and he's topped 39 rec yds just TWICE all year. Moving on…Young has been a hero and weakling in back to back weeks, and Emmanuel scored last week and has an awesome matchup against the Chiefs.
All that being said, I like Young against a beatable Vikings pass D (one that Russell Wilson burned). Stafford should have a field day, and with Min focusing on stopping Megatron, Young should thrive.
Thanks for the read. My battlefield conundrum for PPR is Amendola vs. Bowe. I see it as injury/rust risk vs. shut-down even in garbage time risk. Flipping coins with my kids resulted in Amendola. How do you see it?
I personally think this one is easy, because both have terrible matchups AND Danny will be in his first game back. The matchups are a wash, so moving on at least Bowe is healthy and Matt Cassel actually likes throwing to him. The Steelers might keep him out of the end-zone, but Bowe should see a good amount of targets.

Go Fish, Beaulieu Vineyards detail expansion plans
Two local Napa Valley businesses, one restaurant and a large winery, have detailed expansion plans this week.
On Wednesday, Go Fish, the Napa Valley fish restaurant from restaurateur Cindy Pawlcyn (Mustards Grill, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen) announced the completion of its outdoor dining area and bar. Pawlcyn reportedly enlisted famed Napa Valley architect Howard Backen to enlarge the restaurant's original patio, which now features seating for 100–making it one of Napa Valley's largest outdoor restaurant bars, which will be available to patrons year-round. From the press release:
Shaded by two large canvas awnings and the leafy branches of four mature mulberry trees, the patio's teak and marble-topped tables accommodate groups of all sizes, from cozy twosomes to parties of 10 or more. The patio's focal points include a large stone fireplace and the six-seat Carrera marble bar, which features a stainless steel back-bar, subtle lighting and oversized mirrors.
The restaurant, which is located at 641 Main Street in St. Helena, was opened in 2006 and features a San Francisco-inspired raw bar, authentic sushi and sake bar, and classic West Coast-style fish dishes. It's also known to be a favorite of some of our readers.
Separately, Wine Spectator carried a story on Friday about Beaulieu Vineyards' plans to spend some $7 million to makeover an existing barrel facility in Rutherford and turn it into a "self-contained winery, outfitted with 5- to 7-ton oak and stainless steel fermentors, sorting tables and a tasting room separate from the winery's main visitor center." According to the article, the new facility will be devoted to producing BV's Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and is expected to be complete by harvest 2008.

I sounded like a cross between Adam Sandler's redneck voice on "hot water burn baby" and Billy Bob/Bartender veteran friend of Tom Anderson.

To get rid of the freeloading woman I was pretending like the other guy coming over there to oust her was a retired narc officer (my father with his mullet and then bum knee from a gunshot injury) who needed a place to stay. Story was he couldn't afford hotels, and couldn't stay over at my place b/c the wife's colon was kicking up again and the last party with sheep and horses left the place a wreck while she was gone. But I was happy to bring the cow over to wherever he was staying.
The story worked, and crazy events precipitated afterwards worked. The lady packed up and left that night.

Responding to input from the community, Zachary Community School District officials have decided not to participate in the Louisiana Student Scholarships for Educational Excellence Program for the 2012-2013 school year. On April 26, the Zachary Community School Board voted in principle to allow schools to accept 30 scholarship students into the district with the intention of providing students in failing schools with an opportunity for a quality education while not impacting the district's students and teachers.
Since the April 26 school board meeting, district officials and school board members have responded to calls of concern from the community, many expressing fears over the potential financial impact of the program. "We recognize the sacrifices many of our own families make to provide their students with a first-rate education and appreciate the community's continued financial support of our district," Zachary Schools Superintendent Warren Drake said.
"We are mindful that there are many potential changes on the horizon in education for our state including a new teacher evaluation system and a national standards based curriculum which will be implemented in the coming school year. These factors added to the challenges of managing an average growth of more than 150 students each school year make it difficult to add anything else on our teachers." Drake continued.
At the time of the initial vote, the board, superintendent and staff reasoned that these students, 15 in Kindergarten and 15 in first grade, would have been only 10 percent of the 300 students the district took in following Hurricane Katrina at a time when the Zachary student population was much smaller.
"In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, our teachers did not miss a beat. They provided outstanding instruction and our scores and school climate continued to reflect our commitment to excellence. Our goal in participating in the scholarship program was to spread our proven methods and best practices to impact students who may not otherwise have that opportunity. We believe our teachers are second to none and felt that as the number one district in the state we should lend a hand in even such a small way," Superintendent Warren Drake explained.
District leaders have determined that the most appropriate course of action at this time is not to proceed with the applications to the Louisiana Department of Education. "We recognize that as public servants, our first mission is to serve the Zachary community and continue to ensure a quality education for our students. We will continue to explore ways to help students in academically unacceptable schools where possible, but at this time are responding to requests from the community not to participate in this program," Drake said.

As the magazine notes, no one had quite seen anything like the Sony Walkman when it first appeared. The battery powered blue and silver cassette player changed the social landscape, with people suddenly listening to music on the move, whilst they walked down the street or sat on the train or bus.
Its interesting to note that now, some 26 years after the Walkman appeared, Sony is updating the little device. Reincarnated as an MP3 player, the new Walkman will be available in two capacity sizes - 20GB (NW-A3000) and 6GB (NW-A1000).

Sony Ericsson LiveView will cost €69 and launch in November
There were two rather important things that Sony Ericsson left out of their announcement of the LiveView Android bluetooth accessory: how much it will cost and when it will be available.
Today we have more details on both. Its price will apparently be €69 (about $97).
The shipping details are a bit funny, to be honest. Sony Ericsson might have the LiveView ready for shipping even now, but they can't do that for an ironic reason: if they did, it wouldn't work with any Sony Ericsson device out there, only with phones from the competition.
Why? Well, the LiveView is only compatible with phones running Android 2.0 and above. And none of Sony Ericsson's Android smartphones are on anything other than Android 1.6 at the moment. So the LiveView will ship whenever the update to Android 2.1 for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will be released.
Word is, that will happen sometime in November.
This looks like an interesting accessory and I'm glad someone is doing stuff like this in an Android world otherwise obsessed with 4″+ displays and 1 GHz+ processors right now. Not that those are bad things, but something innovative and distinctive could really make a manufacturer stand out in the sea of Android OEMs.
And the LiveView might help Sony Ericsson do just that, who knows.

The Chicago Bears started out 7-1 and they are now 8-6. Head Coach Lovie Smith, whose seat is getting hotter each week, just doesn't know what to say.
The Bears spiral could stop Sunday, when they play the Arizona Cardinals, it really is a must game now. A lot of teams who are actually winning games keep passing the Bears.
The Green Bay Packers claimed the division yesterday while the Bears slipped out of the 6th spot for the final wildcard spot in the NFC.
In the meantime, Smith stopped trying to make it seem it wasn't raining; instead he broke out an umbrella.
"Yesterday's game was a must-game for the NFC North championship, but besides that, it wasn't a must-game with what can happen for our season," Smith said at his press conference on Monday. "This week it is a must game."
"There are a lot of 8-6 teams," Smith said. "We haven't gone over every scenario, but we just know that there are a lot of us in it, and for us it's about getting to 10-6. And getting to 10-6 is about beating Arizona and getting to 9-6."
"When you've lost as many as we have, I can't give you a good reason for it," Smith said.
Ouch…Maybe he could lie to us?

Tyne and Wear Metro announces cycle trial
Walkergate Metro refurbishment complete
A major refurbishment at Walkergate Metro station in Newcastle has been completed. The project, by Nexus, includes the station's first passenger lift.
The improvements also include double height hand rails, anti-slip surfacing, new seating and lighting.
The work has been carried out as part of an 11 year Government-funded project totalling £389m.
Work to prevent "leaves on the line" slowdowns for Metro
Nexus has also announced plans to buy a rail tamping vehicle, costing £2m.
This will be able to treat larger sections of track affected by low rail adhesion, otherwise known as leaves on the line, much more quickly and efficiently.
A spokesman says this will mean fewer delays for passengers.
"Leaves on the line" solution for Metro trains
Nexus, which manages the Tyne and Wear Metro, has announced plans to chop down trees and cut back vegetation alongside its railway lines, in oder to prevent services being held up by "leaves on the line".
What they describe as "incidents of low rail adhesion" became a serious problem last autumn, resulting in a massive slow-down in Metro rail services.
Director of Rail and Infrastructure for Nexus, Raymond Johnstone:
"We have earmarked an extra £100,000 to tackle trackside vegetation well ahead of next autumn. The work will take place throughout the year across 60km of track."
"This will hopefully prevent a repeat of the issues we had with rail adhesion during October and November of last year. These delays were a huge frustration for Nexus and for Metro customers and we have responded to ensure that we don't see a repeat of the problem in 2014."
Tyne and Wear Metro operator fined £500,000
The owner of the Tyne and Wear Metro, Nexus, has fined the company which operates it half a million pounds for missing several key targets.
DB Reggio has been slapped with the penalty because it failed to reach standards set by Nexus for punctuality and reliability during 2013.
A spokesman for DB Regio has promised improvements during 2014, and promises that passenger fares will not rise as a result of the fine.
Metro line closes from this morning until September
From this morning, the Metro service from Tynemouth to Wallsend will be closed in both directions.
The service is being suspended to allow 6 kilometres of track to be replaced and improvements to be made to embankments, bridges and signalling systems.
The work is part of a £385m modernisation programme being carried out by Nexus, which runs the Tyne and Wear Metro system.
The line between the two stations will re-open on Monday 3rd September.
Metro service to be suspended between Tynemouth and Wallsend
The line will be closed in both directions for 23 days, starting from tomorrow morning (Saturday).
A section of track is being replaced, as part of a £385m improvement programme across the Tyne and Wear Metro system.
The line between Tynemouth and Wallsned will re-open on Monday, 3rd September.

SubZeroTech has a look at the Sharka Corp Dual Voltage BayBus.
Today we're going to take a look at a dual voltage 6-port baybus from Sharka Corporation. This baby will give you complete control over all your fans! You can choose what voltage you want your fans at, being 7v or 12v. 7v will slow the fans down, for when you're not on your computer (or using a cpu-intensive program), you wont draw as much power (and it'll lower the decibel level).More information at SubZeroTech

She brings home the hot, young studs and all I have to do is lay back and get fucked like I did years ago when I was her age. The only difference is now I know what to do with a stiff, hard cock!

Never trust a man wearing a suit the color of freshly fallen snow, particularly if this man smiles and apologizes for things he is about to do and takes a somewhat cavalier attitude toward death. A man such as this is at home in the dark. You would do well never to turn your back on a man whose white-as-snow suit can not be seen in the total blackness.
This man is Todd Robbins, the co-writer and performer of a unique little horror magic show called "Play Dead." Serving as our host, psychic, raconteur and tour guide through things that we will find more macabre than he does, Robbins spends a tidy 75 minutes creeping the bejesus out of a quite receptive audience at the Geffen Playhouse.
Actually, things aren't that tidy.
But first, a disclaimer. Decorum requires this review to embrace vagueness over specificity. "Play Dead," a horror show with magic (or maybe it's the other way around), includes acts of illusion, tricks, traps and surprises which will be no fun to anybody who knows they are coming. We will therefore attempt to get off the (cyber) page leaving you as much in the dark as Robbins does.
Yes, darkness, as in lights out, no exit signs, don't-try –to-adjust-your-vision-it-won't-help-you're-screwed-oblivion. This happens early and often, and you do not get used to it because Robbins doesn't let you. While you sit there blacked out, he's shouting or exhorting, encouraging the audience or the spirits who he claims are among us to do their mischief. And whether or not you buy into our host's belief that the dead – freshly or long gone – can come out and play, when the lights go out in this theater, you will be messed with.
Some of this messing is more sophisticated than others. Our set (designed by Tom Buderwitz) has the air of a run down carnival fun house packed into a storage locker. Posters, pictures, crucifixes and freak show brick-a-brack line the walls. Labeled cardboard boxes are brought out, opened and emptied. A player piano provides an eerie accompaniment. Lighting designer Elizabeth Harper, sound designer Crickert S. Myers, magic designer Johnny Thompson and illusions engineer Thom Rubino have achieved a nice synchronicity. Some of what Robbins and the technical team pull off are, let's face it, sophisticated parlor tricks you might experience at a high tech house or horrors. The Long Beach-reared Robbins was, in fact, a sideshow man.
Some of the scares are psychological, and therefore self induced. We're not talking so much "how did he do that?" as "How could he know that…unless…" And with Teller (the silent half of Penn and Teller) as both the director and co-writer of "Play Dead," the show has a cracked and occasionally gory sensibility. You'll witness Robbins doing some things that will make you queasy. The suggestion of things he might do has the same effect. The man in the white suit with the easy smile might just be that demented.
Whether he is or not, "Play Dead" is a devilish good scare.
"Play Dead" plays 8 p.m. tonight and Saturday, 3 p.m. Saturday, 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday ending Sunday at the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater, Geffen Playhouse, 10886 Le Conte Avenue. $69-$74. 310-208-5454, www.geffenplayhouse.com.

Pink Palm Pixi coming to Sprint for Valentine's Day?
While Verizon may soon introduce the Palm Pixi Plus, Sprint is apparently getting ready to release a pink version of its Pixi – which will probably be out just in time for this year's Valentine's Day.
The pink Palm Pixi is mentioned in Sprint's inventory (via Engadget), but unfortunately there's no photo of it available.
Like the original Pixi, the pink one should feature a 320 x 400 pixels capacitive touchscreen display, QWERTY keypad, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, 2MP camera and 8GB of internal memory.
Sprint's black Palm Pixi is currently offered for $99.99 on contract, so I assume the pink one will have the same price.
Palm will be at CES 2010 this week with something "new" – let's hope it's more than just a pink Pixi.

Kirby and Stewart Garner Postseason Honors
Dec. 3, 2013
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Junior middle blocker Erin Kirby and senior libero Becky Stewart of the Wyoming Cowgirl volleyball team were recognized on Tuesday as the 2013 MW All-Conference Team and other postseason honors were announced by the league office. Kirby earned her third-consecutive honor, while for Stewart it is her second award in as many seasons. The Mountain West All-Conference Volleyball awards are selected by the league's 11 head coaches.
"Erin and Becky have been great for us all season and it is nice to see them honored for their accomplishments," said head coach Chad Callihan. "We have tried to create an atmosphere driven by team goals but with Becky leading the conference in digs and Erin being ranked first in the country for blocks during much of this season it is nice to see both of these young ladies receive some individual attention. They have both worked hard all year to become more complete players and we are proud of them for continuing to develop."
Senior Samantha Peters was named Player of the Year, Julia Warren of New Mexico was selected Freshman of the Year, Holly Franks of Fresno State was the Newcomer of the Year, while Colorado State's Tom Hilbert was voted Coach of the Year.
Kirby was selected to her third All-MW team in as many seasons. She started and played in every match in 2013 for the Cowgirls plus 127 sets. She finished the season ranked first in the MW in overall blocking averaging 1.77 per set. In conference matches, she averaged 1.64 blocks per set, which also led the league. Her season-blocking average of 1.77 ranked second in the nation for second straight year. She was a key contributor in the Cowgirls' eighth-ranked team blocking that tallied 2.89 per set. Kirby finished the season with 225 total blocks which is the most in a single-season in Cowgirl history. Her 573 career blocks places her in a tie for second all-time as well. During the year, she was the only Cowgirl to eclipse the .300 mark, hitting .353 (313-67-697) which placed her eighth in the conference.
Stewart earned her second career All-MW honor as the designated libero. She finished the season with a school-record 624 single-season digs playing in 32 matches and 120 sets for the Cowgirls. Her season average of 5.20 digs per set put her atop the conference in overall matches and 23rd in the country. In conference matches, she finished with 350 digs in 65 sets to average 5.38 per set which also led the league. She finished her career as the all-time leader with 1,683 career digs.
The Cowgirls concluded the 2013 season with a 21-13 record overall and an 11-9 mark in the Mountain West. They also ended the year on a seven match winning streak.

Rob Reiner Does Not Believe in Equal Line Rights
The director paid for his No. 1 spot in the Supreme Court line.
Director Rob Reiner, a board member for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, was the first person in line today to hear the potentially historic Supreme Court arguments about gay marriage, but not because he waited all weekend. Most of the people who braved the elements were paid about $50 per hour to do so, and while Reiner would not discuss the specifics of his deal, he did chant "We're No. 1! We're No. 1!" in the presence of a reporter to really rub in how rich he is.
