Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)
Day 33: Journal Communications letter to employees on blackout
Journal Communications employees received the following memo Monday, on the 33rd day of the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), on Time Warner Cable.
The dispute between them is over fees the cable service pays to carry a stations' programming. Time Warner is in a similar dispute with CBS-owned stations, whose settlement will set the standard for the future, said the Hollywood Reporter. »Read Full Blog Post(23)
Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)

News 12 at 6, March 12, 2008
You've all heard money doesn't grow on trees. Well it doesn't arrive unsolicited in your mailbox either. So, if you get a random check or money order in the mail, be very skeptical, it's probably a rip-off.
Janice Elam and her family got a piece of mail recently that got her family very excited.
Four money orders in the mail for nearly 2 thousand dollars. It looked like the Elams had finally caught a break.
But Janice wasn't so sure.
"Let's go check 'em out." she said.
The name Wal-Mart appeared at the top of the money order, so Janice went straight there to get the money orders verified.
"When they checked 'em over. They said they were phony." she said.
The money orders aren't all that different from the fake lottery checks making the rounds.
They come to you out of the blue and with instructions to deposit them or cash them. You are to keep a small percentage, but send the rest off via money order to pay for fees.
Because they are bogus, they end up bouncing and you have to pay back all the money you sent off for those fees. That can often be thousands of dollars.
"Nobody is looking to give out free money. So even if you see a check in the mail and it looks legitimate, it's not." said Maria Audas from the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
A realization that saved Janice a lot of money and trouble down the road.
"Maybe coming from Brooklyn, I'm skeptical of things. Especially when money comes in the mail that you don't know where it's coming from." she said.

Global warming shrinks sheep
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, July, 03, 2009, (9:28am)
Top this:
Sheep living on a remote island off the coast of Scotland have been shrinking for 20 years. Now it seems shorter winters caused by climate change are responsible.
Amazingly enough, global warming is blamed even though it's cooled over the past eight of those 20 years:
(Thanks to reader Mark.)
Have Your Say
Belief in AGW shrinks brains ... end of story.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:34am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:45pm)
To think the tax payer is paying for this idiot to come up with such crap.
I wonder how these so called scientists sleep at night knowing they are blowing money to come up with this rubbish while there are serious problems all over the world they can be working on.
Even if sheep on this god forsaken shit hole are getting smaller, who actually gives a toss. Just grow more of the little woolley creatures or slaughter them a month later to compensate.
Just add this stupid theory to the million other stupid theories about global warming. I hope someone brings this matter to the attention of our Minister of Climate Change......she may be able to use it in her next speech.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:48pm)
OMG - did it fade in all that additional sun? Does not look like your typical black sheep to me. It's more of a dusky brown!!
AGW's - Should we worry about our flocks of black crows? Perhaps we could get them to carry parasols? or use sunscreen? I am not ready for white crows. Wouldn't be the same somehow.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (07:19pm)
"Amazingly enough, global warming is blamed even though it's cooled over the past eight of those 20 years:"
Andrew playing the idiot card. No mention of global warming made in the article.
News on the ABC this morning that ExxonMobil were funding climate sceptics (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/03/2615551.htm).
You seeing any of this money Andrew or don't you do Cash-For-Comment?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:43am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:12am)
You seeing any of this money Tony?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:36am)
See Ant's comment below, numbnut.
Of course only billions of dollars of tax payers money is funding the gravy-train 'scientists' proclaiming GW to be real. You are welcome to beclown yourself here anytime.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:54am)
Pickles, No, I'm not seeing any of that money, but then I don't go out pushing my opinion on others. I'm still learning about climate change and I'm open to both sides of the argument. I've listened to scientists argue both sides and I've even read the rants in this newspaper. And Struth!, do you always resort to name calling? Do your teachers let you away with that? What about the other kids in the playground - do they like your name calling?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:02pm)
Q: Who is the main driving force of the Global Warming scam?
A: Al Gore
Q: Who stands to profit most from the introduction of Global Warming laws?
A: Al Gore
The hypocrisy of you people is just mind blowing.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:33pm)
I've emailed the ABC to tell them they they should have investigated what funding the London School of Economics has received regards climate change (doesn't Stern hve links to it?), how Exxon might gain if the allegations are true, how excatly is the public being mislead, why public debate should be shut down and whether the person making the allegations has any proof of manmade warming.
I don't expect an answer.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:37pm)
Shrinking Sheep because its getting hotter - Anyone seen huge sheep in Siberia lately! Shows you can MODEL anything if you really want to - GIGO.
As for Big Oil money for sceptic conferences—bring it on. Why doesn,t the ABC finance a sceptic conference - or are they afraid of debate? The govt is not funding any - and we all know from Fieldings experience they are definitly against ANY debate.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (02:36pm)
What exactly is wrong with Exxon or any other industrialist funding studies on computer models which may wreck their businesses as is the case with the IPCC.
Perhaps the Rudd Governemnt could take the lead and provide equal funds to scientific bodies or individual climatologists who support the theory of man made Global Warming and those who oppose it?
Of course Exxon and other industrialists also fund cleaner energy studies,reduced emission studies, the collection of rainwaters (pipeline from Northern Australia) with little or no comment.
Never any mention of how much "renewable" and carbon credit financiers are putting into "proving" man made Global Warming exists and is not just one gigantic scam.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:41pm)
Tony, you wrote, "You seeing any of this money Andrew or don't you do Cash-For-Comment?" then you cry foul when other bloggers have a go at you. I consider what you wrote to be rude in the extreme.
If you are serious about learning about climate change do yourself a favour and read Ian Plimer's book, "Heaven+Earth". Understanding past climate changes is the key to understanding future climate changes. The Earth's increase in temperature between the mid '70s and the late '90's was nothing out of the ordinary when past climate changes are taken into account.
"It is useful occasionally to look at the past to gain a perspective on the present" (Fabian Linden).
Fri 03 Jul 09 (08:21pm)
The Head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Dr Pachauri has served on the boards of an oil company, a gas company and a power company during his IPCC tenure.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:05pm)
The ABC has been working overtime this week to make sure you get the right news about AGW. They have featured (i) a poll that supposedly showed that voters in marginal Liberal electorates wanted the Libs to vote for the government's ETS legislation. It emerged during the story that the pollsters were in the pay of some mob called something like Carbon Sink Australia. You know what that means: they are in the pay of Big Sink.
Then today they (ii) highlighted a study showing that money was donated by oil companies to groups who were against AGW theory. The amounts mentioned were not miniscule, up to $100k, but hardly on the scale of the millions allocated by the union movement campaign to unseat the coalition by demonising Work Choices. Nor would it stand too close an examination against the funds thrown around by Big Al's Church of Carbon Indulgences.
In the end, the funds are not necessarily buying a twisted argument, but facilitating the ability to publicise whatever argument they can mount. A public information campaign (whether it is true or misleading) costs big bucks. A lot more than the odd $100K. I think the ABC doth protest too much. They should be giving more time to the other side of the argument than they do – as any worthwhile, "balanced" national broadcaster should.
Bwahaha!!!! Don't ya just love these clowns? It's almost worth paying a carbon tax to make sure these idiots keep entertaining us with their stupid theories.
So Mr Smarty Pants Coulson, answer me this…
a)How come humans are getting bigger and bigger? and
b)How come it's actually the cold that shrinks my… well you know?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:44am)
In the mean time there is the Byron Bay Council:
From today's Daily Telegraph:
MILLIONS of dollars worth of luxury waterfront homes at Byron Bay will be demolished in the name of climate change following a council decision to enshrine "planned retreat" in law.
This is why a local resident was being stopped from sandbagging the seafront of his block after recent East Coast Lows.
Thank goodness their "green" mayor is not the mayor of the Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth or any of our other cities and towns built along our beautiful coast line.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:45am)
Did you cop ABC Radio's AM program this morning?
There they were lambasting "deniers" like you for being too stupid to see that you're being sinisterly manipulated by Exxon Mobil who pump...wait for it..."hundreds of thousands of dollars" into organisations that parade around "denying" that this planet is facing the furnace in the future!
Surely, SURELY, if Exxon Mobil had that much at stake - this multinational business dealing in countless billions of oil dollars - they could find more than a paltry few bucks to prop up their evil ways. No?
Before our ABC came along, I wouldn't have thought a collective lobotomy was possible.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:49am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (12:54pm)
I didn't realise that the ABC had had a collective lobotomy. But now you mention is, it does make sense!!
Fri 03 Jul 09 (02:09pm)
I caught it, loved how it was left to the Exxon rep to explain they also fund the other side of the equation as well e.g. The Brookings Institute.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (02:10pm)
Ant - I heard that too and the disgraceful attempt to compare the situation with the pro Tobbacco industry lobby. There was also a section advocating shutting down forums to deny sceptics outlets to raise their views. What's happenning to us? Iranians are dieing in the streets for democracy and the Green facists are trying to shut GW sceptics down.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (06:54pm)
Before our ABC came along, I wouldn't have thought a collective lobotomy was possible.
Oh Ant! So funny…
Perhaps they should eat more meat (He He).
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:51am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:49pm)
Nev, maybe that is the problem - they are not letting the sheep get older - it could be because they are eating the sheep earlier (the sheep are at a less age then when the used to eat them). Well thats just my theory....
How will they protect themselves from the swarms of feral cats?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:53am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:16am)
Umm! herd the cats to the beach and let the rising sea levels drown them?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (02:35pm)
Cats..rising sea levels drown them? No! Just eat them. I'm told that smoking pot makes you damn hungry. Even greenies get sick of eating sundried yams , stale Tofu, and paspalum and dock weed wraps…
I'm having lunch with Cliff Huxtable at Four Seasons today
Hopefully goat is on the menu .

Big name no blanket
The Price equation which was used in the study of the "shrinking sheep"
Not another "computer model" surely ?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:58am)
Now we can spring lamb all year round, how sweet.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (10:59am)
Ignorant journalists at work. Sheep herds change size at that rate if you fail to cull for size and health, and possibly if nutrition falls off because of inadequate artificial fertilisers.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:02am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (12:22pm)
Spot on Chris. Just naturally inbreeding will produce smaller and smaller size in any herd. It is the opposite of hybrid vigour which produces bigger and earlier maturing animals.
Add in the factors you have mentioned and it is no wonder, they are breeding smaller and smaller sheep.
Climate change - HUMBUG
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:08pm)
Let's use an even more simplistic model - if the size of sheep have some relation to temperature Wouldn't that mean Australian Sheep should effectively be the size of large rodents? compare summer in the north of scotland to western NSW?!?!
Fri 03 Jul 09 (07:28pm)
Ignorant ChrisPer. Soay is uninhabited - and has almost always been so. It is off the the coast of St Kilda (no permanent population since the 1930s), and is part of the the most remote archipelago if islands in the British isles, stuck in th north atlantic.
The sheep are studied precisely because they are to all extent and purposes a natural/wild flock living without human intervention (except for scientists).
There is also problem with Andrew's chart - it does not tell the whole story. The situation here in Scotland is that, for the most part (but thankfully not he last few glorious days), we have had cooler, wetter summers (last year, I think was the wettest, or one of the wettest on recrod). BUT our winters have been warmer (and even more grey) than average.
The point is, while our overall annual mean temperature might have dropped, this has been because cooler and wetter springs and summers have offset warmer winters. And warmer winters mean that sheep don't need as much insulation to keep warm. So they get smaller.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:08am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:13am)
Oh those incredible shrinking sheep! But now have a look at Maurice Strong the father of climate change in a BBC interview in 72 most likely before or after the first Earth Conference in Stockholm where Strong introduced the notion of Climate Change, of course, then, the world was cooling and see also what he says about the need 20 yrs on to have licences to have babies. The ultimate scam artist and a pal of Gorby's and Gore, say no more..
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:15am)
An article in today's Australian by Brendan O'Neill "Green-industrial complex gets rich from carbon laws" more than adequately explains why not many are prepared to listen to the other side of the story re GW - ie the so-called skeptics.
We all know that vested interest once involved, will see of commonsense most times.
So, PaulC's reply that belief in AGW shrinks brains is only part of the story unfortunately, for all of us, and our hip pockets.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:36am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (04:53pm)
A large part of the population has been tricked into believing in something that is not real.
Historians will look back and wonder why this blatant AGW propaganda wasn't detected by the masses, or the PM.
And its apparently fallen to us to bring the delusional to their senses. That shouldn't be a problem, the weather is on our side.
Barney for PM!
Surely if it was global warming they would be getting bigger - with more summer grass and less calories burnt to ward off the cold.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:36am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:03pm)
In theory you are right, but I suspect that the greenies' windmills have an unforseen side affect of mowing the grass.
In fact, it is probably green power that is shrinking the sheep.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (04:02pm)
If increasing temps in Scotland has caused sheep to shrink, then why aren't Australian sheep ( which are subject to much higher temps) the size of a small cat?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (07:20pm)
Ahh, Mooka.
Fine comment.
But logic like that will get you nowhere in the global warming debate!
(So, who do you work for? Caltex or Big Wool?).
"even though it's cooled over the past eight of those 20 years:"
the climate4you site clearly shows, by averaging each of the five global measurement stations' readings, that 'global temperatures' have increased in the last 5 (.4C), 10 (.5C) and 15 (.4C) years. Why don't you put that graph up? Because it's green?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:38am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:36pm)
Why would anyone average the very dodgy data from Hadley Centre, GISS and NCDC with the audited data from Univ of Alabama?
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:26pm)
"....it's cooled over the past eight of those 20 years...."
Andrew's comment is perfectly accurate:
The linear trend 2001-2009 GISTEMP land-ocean global.
The linear trend 2001-2009 HADCRUT3 global mean.
(UAH LT accords).
For the last 5 years, you'll find a temperature fall of 0.06°C - 0.2°C on all series.
Top this:
As empirical evidence that AGW affects species, it is hard to top.
Amazingly enough, global warming is blamed even though it's cooled over the past eight of those 20 years…
Not when you apply the boring, but reliable old method of linear regression on the graph that one learns at high school.
In which case the trend is up.
But with your postmodern maths, Andrew, you can prove anything is anything. Me, I'll stick to old fashioned methods proven reliable in Stats 101.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (11:56am)
Fri 03 Jul 09 (12:20pm)
There is a theory that purports to prove that belief in AGW shrinks the brain! I am not sure it can be demonstrated but empirical evidence reading some of the numb nut post by the AGW religious lot seems to confirm the initial research!
Fri 03 Jul 09 (12:26pm)
If you want to know the trend, ask a child. Bunnies like you still keep saying the market is rising when it is falling Draco. Do all you left wing people have a reverse switch, where everything comes out backwards.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (01:24pm)
Linear regression isn't useful in non-linear systems such as climate which is observed and known to be comprised substantially of periodic components. with periodicities of known components varying in period from daily through to millions of years.
There a aperiodic components such as tectonic plate movements, volcanoes, etc. which introduce either "blips" or long-term shifts (offsets) as the thermal and fluid dynamics of the climate system change; even when the input (the sun) is stable.
Ignoring the sun as the significant driver of climate is folly; especially when one is made aware of the non-irradiance contribution to climate factors.
The nonsense of a linear regression in periodic systems is easliy illustrated by doing a linear regression on the first quarter of a sine curve. Continue the curve beyond that to the full cycle and the predictive quality of a linear regression should be painfully obvious.
Fri 03 Jul 09 (03:52pm)
berfel replied to Draco
Fri 03 Jul 09 (12:24pm)
Linear regression isn't useful in non-linear systems such as climate…
Berfel, have another look at the graph, for a second.
They are measuring temperature change over time—as a linear a measurable as one is ever likely to get.
All you have done is unwittingly highlight your ignorance.
Missing from the alarmist media article, of course, are the facts presented in the article, that while size is decreasing, there is:
a concordant increase in population size, resulting from increased survival rates in the first year of life
As a result:
growth slows as competition for food increases
Why is it that the positives of a warming world will never be mentioned when trying to sell magazines?

I think perhaps they need some fresh blood amongst the breeding stock. Send over a couple of Marino's that should sort em out.

Sit back and enjoy the showPosted Monday, April 5, 2010, at 1:01 AM
As we stare at tonight's NCAA final matchup between Butler and Duke, I'm not exactly telling you something strange when I say my bracket's busted.
Me and the rest of America, right?
My Final Four was Kansas, Syracuse, New Mexico and Villanova, with KU beating 'Nova for the title. That's right, three of my teams were out in the first weekend, and the other fell in the Sweet 16.
But as we look at tonight's matchup, think about this: I picked Butler to fall to UTEP in the first round. The first round!
I thought UTEP was a bad matchup for them with athletic big men working the paint. I was right ... for the first 20 minutes. And then Butler went crazy from behind the arc.
And while they have slowed down since then (notably in Saturday's second half), they haven't stopped winning.
I'd like to say I had great insight about this Duke team, but I'd be lying. I'm pretty sure I said something like, "That's the one No. 1 seed with NO CHANCE of winning it all. No chance!"
The one thing I gave them was I thought they got a favorable draw. While I may have been right about that, they've won the five games that have been set before them, most notably a serious gut-check game down the stretch against Baylor.
I do have to say, though, I'm looking forward to the game. It's good, fundamental basketball between two clean programs. Tonight when the announcers call them "student athletes," I won't be rolling my eyes and snickering. The young men on the floor will truly be student athletes, not the semi-pros we see in places like Lexington.
So who wins it all tonight? I'm the worst man in America to ask. I know I want Butler to win. I'd love to see a second team from this state be able to hoist a championship banner and have it not be Purdue.
But this Duke team scares me. The more I've had the chance to see them, the more frightening they become.
Given my track record, though, I have to pick Duke. I've successfully put the hex on the other three No. 1 seeds, so why stop now?
Go Dawgs!

Very good association, FD.
This short story (I looked it up) was the last Twilight Zone episode produced.
Here is another excerpt in an attempt to drag your cluttered mind into the now of 2013...
[He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. "If I could free my hands," he thought, "I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader's farthest advance."
As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man's brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.]
I call TIME on this one. GEEZ!

If I had an Emmy ballot 2011: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy
Welcome to part eight of our journey through the Emmy ballot on HitFix. This is also the last part of the ballot we got in ahead of today's deadline for ballots to be submitted, but if you've been reading these posts by now, it's probably not hard to guess most of what we'd pick for outstanding comedy and drama series, and we'll get to those categories eventually . Dan had to travel mid-week, and that and some other issues put the project on temporary hold.
Once again, Fienberg and I are approaching each category from two directions, with Dan as the pragmatist and me as the optimist. So as we move onto the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy category, Dan has his usual exhaustive photo gallery of potential nominees, starting with the most likely candidates before eventually moving onto a bit of wish fulfillment, while after the jump, I continue to pretend that I'm a voting member of the TV Academy and have to pick six nominees for this category. (And, again, actors determine what category to submit themselves in, or whether to submit at all. You can download the full performers list here.)
Steve Carell has never won an Emmy for playing Michael Scott. That is, frankly, ridiculous. But then, the Emmys have a long track record of somehow missing out on iconic, all-time comedy characters. Jackie Gleason never won an Emmy. Jason Alexander somehow never won an Emmy for playing George Costanza. So if Carell gets shut out from seven seasons of "The Office," he'll at least have good company. But "The Office" writing staff at least made the effort to give Carell one fine potential submission episode after another this season, and none better than Greg Daniels' "Goodbye Michael," which allowed Carell to play the many complicated, at times seemingly contradictory colors of Michael Scott and make them seem like part of one funny, sweet, incredibly memorable character.
This should be Carell's award, but I have a feeling the trophy will go back to Alec Baldwin, who's not only an Emmy favorite in general but will likely submit the show's 100th episode, in which he played multiple Jack Donaghys from past, present, and alternate futures. (It's basically the same thing Carell did in "Goodbye Michael," but more blatantly award-baiting.) That's not to knock Baldwin. He's brilliant, Jack Donaghy is an incredibly funny character, that's a fine showcase for him, etc. It just bugs me that Carell may go oh-fer.
Baldwin lost last year to Jim Parsons, and I also wouldn't be surprised to see Parsons repeat. Emmy voters tend to be complacent, and Parsons' hilarious performance as "Big Bang Theory" uber-nerd Sheldon Cooper is the sort of thing that plays incredibly well on a standalone episode submission. Though the "Big Bang" theory writers at times overuse Sheldon, it's easy to understand why, because Parsons elevates everything they give him. He'll absolutely be a nominee, and deservingly so.
"Monk" ended and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" took the year off, opening up at least two spots for potential new nominees. (And with any luck, Emmy voters will realize how little Matthew Morrison's Mr. Schue adds to "Glee" and open up three spots.) Knowing/fearing Emmy voters the way I do, I could see those open spots go to the likes of David Duchovny and William Shatner, but I remain eternally hopeful that they'll go off the beaten path and recognize somebody like Joel McHale on "Community." Supporting players like Alison Brie and Danny Pudi (deservedly) get a lot of the attention from the show's fans, but what McHale does shouldn't be underestimated. He has to be the sane straight man who provides some level of reality as the show is busy doing zombie movies, conspiracy thrillers, Westerns, etc. But he also has to be a funny character in his own right, a driver of plot, and, beneath his sarcasm, the vulnerable heart of this whole sentimental shebang. And McHale pulls all of that off, splendidly.
It's hard to differentiate the contributions that Louis C.K. as an actor brings to FX's wonderful "Louie" - as opposed to the contributions of C.K. the writer, director, editor, stand-up comic, etc. But even though C.K. himself likes to denigrate his acting skills (see below), and even though he's technically "playing himself," the fictionalized Louie comes across as a fascinating, funny, sad, fully-realized character. And at least some of that comes from what C.K. is doing when the camera is on him.
Finally, I'm going to go with Rob Lowe, even as I think it's utterly ridiculous that he submitted himself in this category. At least it's in keeping with tradition, as Lowe has always submitted himself as a lead, apparently under the theory that the most famous person in the cast is the lead, even when he was clearly a supporting player on "West Wing," "Brothers & Sisters" and now "Parks and Recreation." And the funny thing is, while Lowe's Chris Traeger is a relatively minor light in the "Parks and Rec" galaxy, it's still a hilarious performance - I'd argue his work in the flu episode is the best thing Lowe's ever done (and that goes beyond "Stop. Pooping.") - and this is a category that has much less competition, both from Lowe's co-stars and actors in general. So what the hell. He doesn't literally belong here, but I love the guy's work, so why the heck not?
Tough omissions: Only a slightly deeper field than comedy lead actress, but I'd have liked to find room for Zachary Levi for his usual "Chuck" versatility, Matt LeBlanc for smartly satirizing himself on (and being the only redeemable part of) "Episodes," and Matthew Perry for his innate Matthew Perry-ness on "Mr. Sunshine" (yay).

Get a Clue
Tiresome, bumbling Barney the Dinosaur. Chattering, yapping Pee-Wee Herman. These were the great Saturday morning TV characters of Generation-Y's childhood. A disturbingly happy, mentally deficient dinosaur and a pasty dude with questionable sexual interests? Worst of all was the veneer of innocence cast over their dark cores. Better that I spent weekends of my childhood renting the 1985 film Clue and catching re-runs of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, thus learning many life lessons from Tim Curry. Dapper and conniving as the butler in Clue and as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in RHPS, Curry taught me that the world isn't perfect. In Clue, I learned that sometimes people die at bizarre dinner parties at mansions in the middle of nowhere. And in Rocky Horror, I learned that sometimes people die at bizarre dinner parties at mansions in the middle of nowhere. Important lessons to learn, since a common rite of passage as a Dallas youth is to be invited to bizarre dinner parties at mansions in the middle of nowhere. If only those many, many friends I lost in junior high had watched Clue instead of Barney. Katie, Steve and Andrew, you will not be forgotten. Clue is playing as the Inwood Theatre's (5458 W. Lovers Lane) Midnight Madness movie this Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $8.50. Call 214-764-9106.

The 18-year-old, who rejected a new contract offer from the Dons last month, has been cleared to hold talks with npower League One side Bournemouth.
Aberdeen would receive compensation for the player if he left when his current deal expires in the summer, but Brown does not believe a move to the south coast is guaranteed.
"It is not a given he will go there," Brown told Sky Sports.
"It's clear we will be looking for more money than we'd be entitled to at the end of the season.

Hidden for 2,000 years in the basement of Saint Peter Dom, the most important story of religious history. The Gospel of Jesus Christ makes the character of Jesus Christ clear for everyone. Jews, Christians, Moslems and heathens will see Jesus Christ in a new light. Not only is he a real down to earth kind of man, he was a great thinker. He sacrificed his role as ruler of the world to bring enlightenment and peace to the world.
Things people are saying about the once was lost but now has been found story of Jesus Christ:
Pope Timothy l: Do not read this trash. It is a fake and pure blaspheme against the holy institution of the ordained by God Catholic Church. Read it and go to hell.
The Shakers Monthly: Now we know Jesus Christ was real and is real and will be real to come. Peace on Earth to everyone.
The Monks Simi-monthly: Now we understand. Now it all makes sense. Jesus Christ would be and is and will be appalled at the story we have propagated. God save us from us.
The Naked Truth Periodical: Jesus Christ, now that is one hell of a surprise. No one believed that a teacher would write once in the sand. Of course the church had it hidden all these years. The last person that they would want to be a real person is Jesus Christ. That would give anyone and everyone the idea that they too can be Jesus Christ. Thank Christ the truth has finally been revealed.
Fox never any News: Our employers told us we were not to report on anything that could expose any lies behind corporate tyranny. Jesus did so walk on water and raise people from the dead.
CNoNews: Bombing will start in six minutes.

We were going to go with ADT through USAA and he talked us out of it because he said they have a two year service contract and his company did not have no long contracts. Come to find out that it is a five year contract that his company has and we are being told by Rod and a very rude service lady that we will not be able to get out of our contract until five years have past.
Please do not go with this company for alarm monitoring. I have set my alarm off for over five minutes by accident and no one ever called to check on my home. I called the service dept and they said they did not have a alarm signal activated for my property. Someone came out and fixed a problem with their monitoring box. When I called the service dept loud music was playing in the background and little kids were yelling like it was someone home. Very unprofessional through and through.

Veterans summit set for March 9
LYNDON CENTER Sen. Bernard Sanders and author Kristin Henderson headline the NEK Veterans Summit at Lyndon State College on March 9.

HELP! yfw, slip, ybk, slip, turn...?!
Hi there,
I am pretty new to this and only know the basics I am knitting Paton's "Quick & Easy Baby Knits" page 21 Baby Pants in 4ply. Which is all garter st apart from ribbing on the cuffs and waist band.
I have just come up to "Back Shape" and am little confused as to what to do.
Here's what it says;
SHAPE BACK - Note - When turning, bring yarn to front of work, slip next st onto right hand needle, ybk, slip st back onto left needle, then turn and proceed as instructed - this avoids holes in work.
1st - row k33 turn.
2nd and alt rows - knit to end.
3rd row - k27, turn.
5th row - k21, turn.
7th row - k15, turn.
9th row - K9, turn.
10th row- knit.
So I have a few questions;
1. What does that "Note" achieve?
2. When I bring "yarn to front of work, slip next st onto right hand needle" to I slip the stitch across like I was going to knit it but don't?
3. When I turn for the second time after doing the slipping etc, do I knit to the end and is that still row1?
Sorry if these are silly questions. Thanks in advance for your help :)
Not a silly question at all. You're doing short rows and the Note is describing how that is done. The purpose is to put extra rows in an area or your knitting in order to give shape to it. This ,video http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/short-rows will show you the process.
When you slip the stitch from left needle to right and when you slip back again, slip as if to purl. Just put the needles tip to tip and move the stich from one needle to the other. Don't work the stitch.
When you turn, you're on the next row. So after the short row on row 1, turn and work row 2 to the end. The same goes for all the even rows, after the short row turn on the odd rows, work to the end on the even number rows.
Thank you SOO much for the quick reply! That makes so much more sense now. Really really appreciate you your help.
You guys are just amazing with your knowledge of everything :-)

SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 03, 2011POSTED: Thursday, November 03, 2011
Our business phone number is posted on our website, and is 727-623-0914. I would encourage anyone with outstanding issues or concerns contact us at that number for assistance. We are available Monday - Thursday from 10 AM - 5PM Eastern Time.
We provide an unconditional 14 day guarantee on all of our live items, than begins from the moment you receive your package. We ask that you keep your packing slip for that time frame and if anything goes wrong with an item, simply snap a picture of the item on the packing slip and email it to us. We don't ask for you to ship it back packed in salt nor do we require a water sample as some of our competitors do, just a picture. If you provide that information to us as requested, we give you a gift card that is good for anything in our store, which never expires. Also, if the item is a free item that is shipped to you, we still guarantee it and will provide you a coupon code for the replacement of the item on your next order. Yet, in most cases, if you go and buy the same item from the local fish store and drive home with it and it dies... your guarantee expired the moment you left the building and if you got anything for free it is doubtful they would provide a guarantee on that item either.
In our industry, we do find that working with live animals leaves us at a disadvantage, it is not an environment where they are boxes on a shelf waiting to be shipped. We have all manner of items coming in and out of our systems each day, add to that that the circle of life is present even in our
tanks. Big fish eat small fish, fish consume inverts, fish die from stress, or even leap out of a tank and onto the floor. We will not send an animal out the door if we feel it will not hold up to the stress of shipping. We have divers that go to procure the items we need, only to find that the animals have relocated. All of these factors can influence an item not being available to ship when your order is scheduled. I can understand this is frustrating as a customer, but while we have worked to reduce the number of items not included in a shipment, we will never be able to completely eliminate this from happening.
I do hope that the "why/how" we do what we do, will help you, as a customer, understand the way we do business and I do hope that you will choose to continue to do business with us at some point in the future.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

If I > crash, will I have do a lot of fsck work, or just have the journal replayed > (which I thought was automatic)? ext3 doesn't need a full fsck after a crash, just a journal replay. The replay can be done either by e2fsck of by the kernel when it mounts the filesystem -- the same code is used in each case. The reason we run e2fsck on ext3 filesystems is twofold --- first to get all of the journal replaying done early on in boot, and secondly to detect any errors on the filesystem which might need a full fsck to be forced. If ext2 or ext3 detect internal inconsistencies with the data on disk (which might be due to memory or disk data corruption, for example), then they set an error bit in the superblock and fsck will force a full disk check when it sees that bit. In the normal running of things, though, assuming there are no known on-disk errors, e2fsck will just do a quick journal recovery and will return. You still run fsck on all filesystems, but the fsck returns immediately after the recovery is done. One last point --- ext2 has a way of forcing a fsck every so often, either when the number of mounts or the elapsed time since the last fsck is exceeded. I'm looking for comments about whether those intervals ought to be set to zero (disabling the forced-fscks) for ext3 or not. Cheers, Stephen

I assumed that I had won simply because it line up with the time frame and of the legitimate contest rules. The legitimate contest also stated if I had won the contest that they would contact the individual by mail and that individual would have only 7 days to respond or the prize would be voided. All this lined up with the offical contest rules. The only thing is I didn't check here first and I wanted to bet the deadline and not miss out. Beware of the respond by dates.

McGee at QB for Cowboys at practice; Kitna watches
ARLINGTON, Texas Stephen McGee has taken a step toward becoming the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys this weekend.
For the first time in his two-year career, McGee ran the first-team offense Wednesday. Jon Kitna watched from the sideline in street clothes.
Interim coach Jason Garrett has said Kitna would start Sunday against Philadelphia if he's healthy. He has a strained abdominal muscle.
McGee played an NFL game for the first time last Saturday at Arizona. He started the year as the third-stringer, but has moved up because of injuries to Tony Romo and Kitna.
