Ahhhh.... I thought our new PM was going to be Imelda May!
So, he's looking forward to " enjoying the scents and smells of Planet Earth " What makes a scent a smell, or a smell a scent?
Either way it probably smells better than living in tin can for 6 months!
Never understood the point of an Apple watch, you pay £300 for it and it does nothing if you don't have an Iphone to go with it. How hard is it to pull a phone out of your pocket anyway?
I was once asked if the copier could do "double sided transparencies", they never explained why the wanted to do it!
I don't give a shit, but if I did I would give it to you.
You do get many idiots on mountains, I remember many years ago (when I was at least half fit) returning from climbing the Ben in February, about 4:00 pm, just getting dark, meeting a group who were just starting to climb, they asked me "How far is it to the top?" They didn't realise that it was at least a 4 hour climb, it would be pitch black in another 30 minutes and at that time of the year they would probably die as they were wearing trainers and jeans, no rucksacks so no extra clothes, food etc.
Am I missing something here?
The bad guys scramble your PC and demand a ransom to fix it, so just re format, re install and restore from your off site backup (if you don't have that you shouldn't be running a business in the first place)
It's not a boat, it's a ship!
(You can put a boat on a ship (think life boats) but you can't put a ship on a boat)
Harder to climb in winter, another 2 or 3 meters of snow on top!
As someone else said, "Rocket science is easy, rocket engineering is hard!"
It makes me feel sad that they have to use the shuttles for bits just because no one will pay to do the job properly
Another thing to throw at the creationist nutters who say evolution is false!
My (work supplied) Tosh craptop had the function keys turned on by default, so if I pressed F5 to re load a page it kindly turned off the wifi!
I eventually found a utility to turn the function keys back to their correct function without having to bugger about with a FUNCT key every time.
Can't keep a good lander down!
It's a good thing it's a long way from earth, a thing as indestructible as that could cause havoc if it got back to Earth!
Basicaly he is what is known as an IQ-Zero
This nutter thinks that every animal in the world lived within walking distance of Noah's house!
Did the photo really say it had 880 KV motors? 880 thousand volts, what kind of battery has it got? (I want one!)
Why is it so ugly?
The flat square corners make it look cheap and nasty. They may improve the icons in the final version but I suspect the rest will still look like it was designed for a 5 year old.
On security, I read somewhere that everything you type is sent back to muckrosoft to "improve the search features" I don't think I want to use this for online banking (or anything else!)
A small metal tin, capacitor soldered to top and bottom, lid insulated from main body with clear tape ,,,, charge to about 400 volts and (carefully) leave it on top of someones paperwork.
I can be amazing how far this thing can get thrown and you get to learn a lot of exciting new words!
I don't understand the point. I have a watch which lasts around 18 MONTHS on one battery, is waterproof to 100 meters and it tells the time, it costs a fraction of this ithing too.
I read somewhere that it can make phone calls... is that true or is it just a link to an iphone?
The rest of the apps seem trivial and/or pointless, just duplicating what you already have on your phone (is it so hard to take it out of your pocket and use it?)
I have been insulted lots of times, no problem. Am I better than their poxy little god?
If a religion can't take a few insults it must be a crappy religion to start with.
Fantastic, I can't wait to see the pictures
I managed to see a shuttle launch several years ago, if I remember correctly we were about 5 miles from the launch site..... it was the loudest thing I ever heard! It was the first launch since the one went kaboom on launch.... the cheer when the SRB's separated was even louder!
Just wanted to point out that "clouds of sulfuric acid" should read "clouds of sulphuric acid"!
Am I the only one who wonders about the effect of reflections from a curved screen? On a flat screen you can position yourself so that reflection is not a problem, but with a curve, wherever you sit you will see it.
Well done to the lad, we need more teachers to offer this kind of support, let's just hope they don't kill his enthusiasm over the next few years.
What is needed is a way to make pigs glow with infra red, them we could have self cooking bacon!
Yes, I read it about 6 months ago, I remember a nicely gruesome description of the effects of high G deceleration on rat testicles!
I had the pleasure of driving a hire car on Monday, it had a DAB radio fitted, so I thought it would be a good test to see if mobile DAB is as bad as everybody seems to think it is.
I have no idea how good the quality of DAB in a car is, because having spent a day driving around between Doncaster and Lincoln I failed to pick up a single DAB station.
So glad I didn't pay to have one fitted in my car!
Phil Plait for Prime Minister!
I may be missing something here, but people are talking about storing files on skydrive and having a local copy, if I have a local copy why do I need it on skydrive as well? I have my own off site backup so security isn't a problem (more secure 'coz macrosoft/NSA can't get at it!)
It seems strange that Mr Snowden is accused of spying because he revealed that the government is spying on it's citizens!
I heard the news and just thought "Shit... too soon"
I have only recently started reading his sci fi ... very very good, I like the way his mind works. This is very sad news
Try Cyberfox 64 bit FF... works great for me!
I don't want Targeted Adverts, I don't want ANY adds. I block them whenever I can on my PC, (admuncher is a great help!) I only watch time shifted, recorded TV and skip past any ads. I don't actually care that the ads pay for the content, I just don't need to be insulted by them, if I want to buy something I do some checking, look at reviews and then decide, ads are pointless.
The pope should be ashamed to show his face in public, the church has billions in cash, property and art, yet it still tells poor people who can't afford to feed their families not to use birth control. When he gives his wealth to the poor and shops all the pervert priests to the police I may start to listen to him. (but I will probably still think he's talking crap)
We need more teachers like this, my old physics teacher was a total nutter... lots of bangs and fun stuff... ruined my life and turned me into a total geek.... thanks!!
I never walked on the moon, never will... but I met a man who stood on the foot of the man who walked on the moon! This guy walked out of a hotel room in the US and stood on the foot of a guy walking past... Mr N. Armstrong!
I don't care what it's called... it's still pig ugly!
It looks like it was designed for a retarded 3 year old, it MAY be ok on a tablet or a phone but on a desktop I doubt it.
I try to block all adverts, any that slip through I ignore, If I want a product I will search for it - I don't want it cluttering up my screens. For the same reason I never watch live TV, I record and skip through the crap.
I would like to welcome our friends over in the colonies to the 20th century!
If the lord wants your password cracked then it will be!
Very impressive bit of video, done with a (Relatively) small telescope, I wonder why the people in charge of the project didn't do this weeks ago
Interesting how this group "knows what god hates"
If he "hates" a group of people then why did he create them??
All knowing, all powerful, all made up??
If the MOBO won't run linux or whatever I decide to use, then I will just refuse to buy it. If others do the same, then maybe when the manufacturers see their sales drop things may change.
The piece talks about "it takes about 190 gigawatts to power the first stage of a Saturn V rocket"
This includes lifting the weight of the liquid hydrogen/oxygen fuel which makes up most of the launch mass. Since a laser launch system will leave the power supply on the ground the mass of the spacecraft will be MUCH less. It might be a good idea to have two or more seperate lasers, a power failure on take off could be nasty!
Pohl's Gateway, a book that just made me terrified !!
CGI Heechee anyone?
"Bowie saw promise in IP-delivery for high-quality streaming that neither FM nor DAB were able to deliver, and commercial targeted 1:1 advertising of the type Spotify had used."
So... we have to pay extra for a radio that works badly, pay extra for batteries to feed the greedy thing, then be insulted with mindless adverts spoiling the programs!
I NEVER listen to any radio program that has adverts, they drive me crazy! TV I record and fast forward through the adds.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming up with turnovers again, although it helps that they're facing overmatched Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Tyler Palko. That has led to a 13-6 halftime lead for the Steelers.
Pittsburgh had three takeaways in the first half after entering the game with an NFL-low six through 10 games. Palko fumbled and threw two passes right to the Steelers, who converted the turnovers into 10 points. The three turnovers came on three consecutive Chiefs offensive plays and all occurred in Kansas City territory.
Here are some other observations:
Pittsburgh is struggling in the red zone. The Steelers have scored one touchdown despite being inside the Chiefs' 10-yard line three times. On Pittsburgh's opening drive, Mike Wallace dropped a pass in the end zone and Mewelde Moore fumbled at the Kansas City 2.
The Steelers are dealing with injuries, but they're not being affected by them. Safety Troy Polamalu left with a head injury in the first quarter, and center Maurkice Pouncey went to the locker room in the second quarter with an illness. Polamalu's replacement, Ryan Mundy, had one of Pittsburgh's two interceptions.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hasn't been hampered by a broken right thumb. He was 14 of 20 for 127 yards and one touchdown in the first half. His touchdown pass was a 2-yarder to tight end Weslye Saunders, an undrafted rookie in 2011.
The Chiefs' only points came off long field goals, from 41 and 49 yards.

At last, the haunting sequel to Morgan Llywelyn's phenomenal epic Druids. The Greener Shore unfurls the story of a brave and mystical people who learned to manipulate the forces of nature–in order to control magic.
As druids in Celtic Gaul, they had been the harmonious soul of their tribe, the Carnutes. But when Julius Caesar and his army invaded and conquered their homeland, the great druid Ainvar and his clan fled for their lives, taking with them the ancient knowledge. Guided by a strange destiny, they found themselves drawn to a green island at the very rim of the world: Hibernia, home of the Gael.
Here they would depend for survival on an embittered man who had lost his faith–and a remarkable woman who would find hers. Burning with hatred of the Romans, Ainvar can no longer command his magic. But his mantle falls on unexpected shoulders. In a beautiful, war-torn land of numerous kingdoms and belligerent tribes, Ainvar and his beloved wife, Briga, struggle toward an uncertain future. Their companions include the volatile Onuava, widow of their fallen chieftain; Lakutu, Ainvar's dark and mysterious second wife; Ainvar's son, Dara, who seems more drawn to poetry than to combat; and the "Red Wolf," the young warrior who is as close as kin and is determined to find Ainvar's missing daughter.
Other forces are at work in Hibernia as well–the spirits that haunt the island, forces older than even the magic of the druids. Through them Ainvar seeks his redemption . . . as Briga seeks her rendezvous with history.
Filled with the deep feeling, stunning detail, and rich characters that made Druids a masterwork, The Greener Shore
is a superb saga of an amazing world and its wondrous ways–a much-awaited novel that will delight all the devotees of this admired author.

The Greener Shore (eBook) by Morgan Llywelyn
Chapter I
The sun is the symbol of the great fire of life, created by the Source of All Being. I remind myself of this whenever the glare of the sun makes me squint.
I, Ainvar, salute the Source of All Being.
The Source of All Troubles is Caesar the Reprehensible. I should have recognized that from the beginning. I keep going over and over events as if by tumbling them in my hands like pebbles I can change their shape. I cannot. Even a chief druid cannot redraw the Pattern.
But I can see it. Oh yes. Looking back, I can see it so clearly. At some crucial point the tribes of Gaul must have disrupted the harmony of the Pattern, thus precipitating catastrophe. Which means that at some crucial point the druids failed.
I failed.
At first the Gauls had welcomed traders from the tribes of Latium as they had welcomed the Hellenes before them. The Latin language was not beautiful to the Celtic ear, being hard and abrupt rather than musical, but we shared the vocabulary of trade: a nod, a grunt, a slap of hands. In this manner arrangements were concluded and goods exchanged. Gaul offered salt and iron and grain; the speakers of Latin brought wine and olive oil and luxury goods from the Mid-Earth Sea. Traders from each side were able to provide enough to satisfy the other side. Everyone benefited. For a while.
Then one tribe, the Romans, proved they did not understand the concept of Enough; they wanted More. Their traders brought warriors to stand at their shoulders while they made unreasonable demands. The Gauls swatted the more importunate traders away as one swats a fly. The Romans kept coming. Tendrils of a poisonous weed, they extended their reach until at last we realized their true and deadly intent. Led by someone called Gaius Julius Caesar—a figure of walking excrement that needs three names to make it feel like a man—the Romans meant to steal everything from us, even the land on which we lived. Our sacred Mother Earth.
If I close my eyes I can still see the glorious victories we won; the desperate battles we lost. And then the final battle. And the subsequent destruction of all we held dear.
The destruction of the Great Grove of the Carnutes blew us away like chaff on the wind.
I chew on my memories as if they were food, but receive no nourishment from them. When I dream, I dream of the lost skies of Gaul.
Free Gaul, which bled to death to fatten Caesar's purse.
my wives refuse to talk about the past. following briga's lead, the other two keep their faces turned to the west and their eyes on the future.
Onuava is a tall, strong woman, with a lion's mane of fair hair. Her first husband was Vercingetorix, chief of the Arverni. His name meant "King of the World." Such a man is not born once in ten generations. The tribes of Gaul made him their leader when they needed him most, and lost him to merciless Caesar when they needed him even more. Onuava was carrying his first son in her womb when they dragged Vercingetorix away.
After Keryth the prognosticator foresaw the death of Vercingetorix at the hands of his captors, I made Onuava my third wife. Although we were as different as fire and water, Rix and I were, are, and always shall be, soul friends. I was obligated to offer my fullest protection to his family. Since then I have even learned to love Onuava, at least as much as her proud and prickly nature will allow.
My second wife is Onuava's opposite. Lakutu is small and dark, docile by nature and Egyptian by birth. She was already past her prime when I first saw her. Lakutu is old now, yet from time to time a mischievous child peeks out of her black eyes.
There are intriguing rumors concerning certain mysterious rites practiced in her homeland. Although Lakutu has learned our language, she conveniently forgets it whenever I question her about those rites. Egypt's child keeps Egypt's secrets. In her head my second wife holds knowledge to which I cannot gain access, and that is her power over me. Druids love a mystery.
Briga is the youngest of my three wives in age, but senior to them in rank. The daughter of a prince of the Sequani tribe, she was the first woman with whom I celebrated the marriage ritual. According to our custom Briga had to give permission for me to marry Lakutu, and then she and Lakutu had to give permission for me to marry Onuava. Such permissions usually are granted, because each additional wife serves the wife who is senior to her.
In practice, Onuava serves no one, but that was to be expected.
My Briga is a small, sturdy person with hair like dark flax. Her most interesting feature is her voice, as soft and hoarse as the purring of a cat. Her speech still bears the musical lilt of her native tribe. The Sequani are Gaulish Celts like ourselves but they speak a different dialect, one that they share with remnants of our race who have never left the Blue Mountains. I love the sound of it on Briga's lips; the exotic echo of an older time.
Many women are more beautiful, yet from the beginning Briga drew me like no other. I did not know the body but I recognized the spirit within. It spoke to me through her blue eyes, as clear as those of a child. Her spirit was a member of the tender network that surrounds me through all my lives. Each of us has such a network, stretching from the distant past into the far future, making us Part of the Whole.
Briga knows me better than I know myself. And loves me anyway.
The first time I lay with her I knew what the Source of All Being experienced at the moment of creation.
Because Celtic law allows a man of high rank to have more than one wife, the Romans called us savages. Yet who is the savage? A chieftain—or a druid—can offer the status and protection of marriage to as many women as he can support. I have traveled in the land of the Romans and seen how they live. The depraved men of Rome have only one wife at a time, but use any number of concubines and prostitutes. These poor creatures must suffer whatever indignities are heaped upon them. When their sexual attraction fades, they are discarded.
By purchasing Lakutu I had saved her from such a fate. When Vercingetorix and I came upon her, quite by accident, in a Roman slave market, she was already well-used goods. After another year or two the Romans would have had her cleaning out latrines. They would have thrown away a truly exceptional spirit.
All my women are exceptional.
While she was married to Vercingetorix, Onuava and I had worked powerful sex magic together. To assure her husband's election as commander-in-chief of the united armies of Gaul she had opened her body to mine. The power of the ancient ritual pleaded for Rix in the Otherworld and enabled him to fulfill his Pattern.
No other man in Gaul could have formed the Arverni, Bituriges, Ruteni, Nitiobriges, Gabali, Senones, Sequani, Parisii, and Carnutes into a confederacy to defeat Caesar. And he almost succeeded. That knowledge torments my dreams and miseries my days. With the splendid and shining Vercingetorix leading the united tribes of Free Gaul, we defied the despicable Caesar and his army of clanking dwarfs and very nearly won.
Clanking dwarfs. A perfect description that illustrates one of the differences between Celts and Romans. Our warriors were taller than the invaders by the length of a man's forearm. In battle they did not hinder their bodies with armor or imprison their heads in iron. Free and unencumbered, the warriors of Gaul faced whatever the day brought. They were celebrated for their courage, which resulted from the teaching of their druids.
No person who understands that an immortal spirit inhabits the mortal body need fear death.
In my youth Menua, our chief druid, who had been trained in the greatest of all druid schools, told me, "Dying means only a change of direction in a long life, Ainvar. Death is not the last thing but the least thing, a cobweb we brush through."
Death brings us back to the dawn of life so we may start afresh without the burden of memory. Examples of this may be observed in nature, where nothing is wasted. Living spirits, sparks of the Great Fire of Life, move from one existence to another as butterflies burst from the husks of dead caterpillars. The butterfly does not remember its life crawling on the ground. It knows only the freedom of the air.
The warped Romans do not study nature; only the works of men. This leads them to make the incredible assumption that when a human body ceases to breathe, life ceases to exist. What arrogance!
Vercingetorix and I sometimes spoke of these things, when the rest of the camp was asleep and we were lying on our backs staring up into the sky. Rix loved the night sky more than anyone I ever knew. Together we wandered the pathless stars and explored the womb of worlds.
Rix contained a warrior spirit, and warriors are not inclined to philosophy—the word the Greeks use to describe the speculations of druids. But he also possessed a degree of curiosity not often found in fighting men. Warriors need to follow orders without asking questions. Thinking is for druids. Thinking, and curiosity.
As a small child I had asked my grandmother, who was the wisest person I knew, "Why do we fall down and not up?"
"No one knows," she replied. "It's magic."
That was the first time I heard of magic.
When Rix asked questions I did my best to answer them, and prayed to That Which Watches that I might always give him good advice. For the most part, I did.
Except, except . . . Briga says I dwell too much on the past. Perhaps she is right, though I shall never tell her so. A man who has three wives learns what not to admit.
On the day we stepped off the edge of the world and into this boat, Briga laughed. The sound shocked me, I had not heard it for so long.
Not since Alesia.
Shortly after that disastrous defeat we had heard rumors that Caesar, not content with waging war for Gaul, also had sent his troops to the land of the Britons, wherever that was. I trembled for them.
While the wheel of the seasons turned and winters followed one another in grim succession, my small band of survivors fled into the trackless forest. During what the vile Caesar called "the pacification of Hairy Gaul," the Romans spent summer after summer scarring our homeland with roads and military fortifications. They did not find us, however. We had buried ourselves so deep in the wilderness we never heard a word of Latin. For us, everything beyond the forest ceased to exist. We knew nothing of Rome and Romans, but lived an inward life whose boundaries were the trees. Still, we did not feel safe. We were as quiet as birds pressing themselves against the earth as the hawk flies over. We never laughed aloud.
Our children lost their childhood while Rome was raping Gaul.
When the land was sufficiently "cleansed" of rebellious natives, settlers began to arrive. They started cutting down the great forest that sheltered us.
Then Keryth dreamed a dream in which she spoke with the handful of other druids who still survived. They were able to confirm her prophecy: Vercingetorix had been murdered in Rome. They told her every grisly detail which she then related, with great pain, to me.
Druids know the truth when they hear it.
As far as I was concerned it signaled the end of the world.
Yet now my Briga could laugh. She spread her arms wide as if she would embrace the sea, and laughed aloud with joy. "We will begin a new life, Ainvar!" My Briga crinkles her nose when she laughs.
The Celtic figure of the Two-Faced One possesses one set of features looking in one direction and another set looking the opposite way. It is open to many interpretations: life and death, summer and winter, nobility and debasement. If men look toward death, women look toward life. How wise was the Source to create such balance.
It is a pity the Source did not create boats. Boats are not natural, but man-made, so I have misgivings. It is difficult for me to accept that a vessel filled with people can float on top of the water. A stone weighing much less than a boat would sink immediately. Sometimes my head ponders on this.
We obtained these boats in the land of Armorica, from a trader who belonged to the tribe of the Veneti. They inhabit the westernmost shores and claim to know what lies beyond the sunset. I hope they do. Our future may depend on it.

text: XenForo Template GREENBERG Studio: Universal Year: 2010 Length: 1 hr 48 mins Genre: Dramedy/Romance Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 BD Resolution: 1080p BD Video Codec: VC-1 (@ an average 30 mbps) Color/B&W: Color Audio: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (@ an average 4.0 mbps) Spanish DTS 5.1 French DTS 5.1 Subtitles: English SDH, Spanish, French Film Rating: R (Some Strong Sexuality, Drug Use and Language) Release Date: July 13, 2010 Starring: Ben Stiller, Greta Gerwig, Rhys Ifans and Jennifer Jason Leigh Story by: Jennifer Jason Leigh and Noah Baumbach Written and Directed by: Noah Baumbach Film Rating: 2/5 Greenberg is the kind of movie that you start out really wanting to appreciate and enjoy, but it winds up frustrating almost every one of the viewer's wishes and needs before it finally, mercifully ends. There's not a lot of story here. After a brief prologue with Florence (Greta Gerwig), a wistful young woman looking for someone meaningful, we are introduced to the title character, Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller). Fresh out of the hospital after a nervous breakdown, he is ostensibly trying to put his life back together while house-sitting for his brother's family. And Florence is his brother's assistant, which puts the two characters in each other's orbits. There's an interesting idea here – the combination of the 40-something Greenberg with the 20-something Florence, and their two intertwining sets of issues. But the movie somehow gets lost behind Greenberg's aggressively anti-social behavior. Any scene where he seems to be on the verge of learning something about himself or learning something about intimacy turns into an increasingly nasty verbal rant at either Florence or his friend Ivan (Rhys Ifans). If anything, he seems to still be in the same mental and emotional place when his intransigence broke up his band and presumably blew the one shot that his bandmates had to get anywhere with that career. An attempt by him to reconnect with an ex-girlfriend (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is nearly excruciating to watch, both due to Greenberg's inability to really see or hear her, and due to her increasing need to get out of the situation. Things spiral downward as Greenberg drives his friends away from him, and somehow finds himself in the middle of a wild drug party being thrown at his brother's house by a bunch of college age kids. I have to admit the performances by the actors aren't the problem here, but the movie itself is truly memorable in its unpleasantness. I don't mean that in terms of crudity, although there are two sexual encounters that I can't say needed to be shown in this graphic a manner. I mean in terms of feeling like you're standing in the middle of a really uncomfortable situation that doesn't get better with time. Just when you think that the movie might at least find an honest ending for its story, as unpleasant as it is, things suddenly aim for a relatively upbeat ending. And it's not an ending that's been earned in any way. Just as the 90s film Swingers closed with a gift for the lead character, this film seems to be saying in the end that it's okay for Greenberg to be this unpleasant toward friends and family because he's really a good guy at heart, somewhere in there. And that's not a conclusion I can readily live with. Greenberg was released on DVD and Blu-ray two weeks ago. The Blu-ray includes high definition picture and sound, and the usual functionality, including pocket BLU, social BLU, BD-Live and the My Scenes bookmarking function. It also includes three very brief featurettes in high definition, all of which could have easily been condensed into a single piece, seeing as how they total just over 7 minutes in length. VIDEO QUALITY 3 ½ /5 Greenberg is presented in a 1080p AVC 2.35:1 transfer that gets the job done without getting too fancy about it. Flesh tones look accurate, and the film navigates a range of day and night Los Angeles exteriors and interiors in a manner that never looks artificial. I should note that I am watching the film on a 40" Sony XBR2 HDTV. If anyone is watching the film on a larger monitor and is having issues, please post them on this thread. AUDIO QUALITY 3 ½/5 Greenberg is presented in an English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, which mostly lives in the front channels but includes some surprising moments of directional atmosphere here and there. The music of the film is particularly well-served in the surrounds. DTS mixes in Spanish and French are also included. SPECIAL FEATURES ½ /5 The Blu-ray presentation of Greenberg comes with the usual BD-Live connectivity, My Scenes functionality, and the social BLU and pocket BLU apps. It also comes with a trio of featurettes that go by so quickly that it is hard to understand why they were broken up in this way. A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Greenberg (1080p, 3:24) – This quick featurette is the only one of the three pieces here to actually be presented in 1080p HD. It's also the longest of the three, and at under 3 ½ minutes, that should tell you something. Essentially, you have the usual mutual compliments going on here, with no time to get into any depth. Greenberg Loves Los Angeles (1080i, 2:08) – In two minutes, the viewer is presented with the usual discussion of wanting to film Los Angeles in a different way than we normally see it in the movies. Noah Baumbach Takes a Novel Approach(1080i, 1:32) – This featurette gets just over 90 seconds to talk about the quirkiness of the characters here, particularly the title man. BD-Live - The more general BD-Live screen is accessible via the menu, which makes various online materials available, including tickers, trailers and special events. My Scenes - The usual bookmarking feature is included here. pocket BLU– The usual additional Universal Blu-ray functionality is here for those viewers with iPhones and the requisite applications. Social BLU– Another Universal connectivity function is included here as well. The film is subtitled in English, French and Spanish. The usual pop-up menu is present, along with a complete chapter menu. IN THE END... Greenberg is a truly risky endeavor from director Noah Baumbach. It's an aggressively uncomfortable film about an aggressively anti-social man. Ben Stiller's performance is interesting to watch, but ultimately even his fans may find this film too uncomfortable to take past a rental. Kevin Koster July 26, 2010.

Senior duo leads Chester from doormat to contention
When Mardelle Jean and Amanda Schembri were freshmen on the Chester varsity team, they suffered through their share of blowout losses.
Instead of throwing in the towel, Jean and Schembri, now seniors, have spent the last three years doing their part in rebuilding Chester's girls' basketball program.
For the first time since the 2004-05 season, Chester won an OCIAA Division V title, going 8-0 in division games.
"We always hoped. We never thought we would," Schembri said of winning the division title. "We always hoped that we would have a good season, but we never thought undefeated, no."
Schembri, a 6-foot-1 center who averages six blocks per game, and Jean, a 5-foot-8 guard who does a bit of everything with her 12 points, eight assists and eight rebounds each night, have certainly made their marks on the floor.
They've also done the tough job of taking charge in the locker room.
Chester starts a pair of sophomores in Simone Ayers and Kathryn Jankelunas. In all, there are six sophomores on the varsity roster.
Jean and Schembri, however, have plenty of empathy for those young players. They know what it's like to be in over one's head, at least at first, on the varsity level.
"Freshman year, we were kind of the underdogs. We were looking up to the older kids," said Jean. "Now, being seniors, it's about taking that leadership role and having them look up to us and setting the pace. It's kind of different."
"Having younger kids on the team, you have to look out for them because they get really nervous," Schembri said. "I remember when I was a freshman I was really nervous and I was almost intimidated by all the seniors on the team. But we're a really close team. We're almost like family. They've stepped up a lot."
Ayers, a 5-foot-9 forward, has proven she can play for Chester's top team. Over her last six games, she's averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds and gives the Hambletonians a tough 1-2 punch in the paint with the taller Schembri.
Chester figures to snag one of the top seeds in the Section 9 Class C tournament when the field is announced next week. The Hambletonians haven't played in a Section 9 final since 1994 when Chester lost to Eldred in the Class D championship game.
"It's something that I've always wanted," said Schembri. "Other players respect that me and Mardelle are seniors and this is our last chance. We just want to go all the way."
"We're very excited," Jean said. "We actually get another chance and we are, I feel, a better team this year. I feel like we can go further this year in sections."
As Jean and Schembri have developed their basketball talents and their leadership skills, so has Chester head coach Peter Rickard, who took over five years ago.
"I can be a yeller at times, but now I listen to them," said Rickard. "They became basketball players. When Mardelle tells me I'm yelling too much, I listen to my players.
"Amanda and Mardelle have built up a lot of equity with me," Rickard continued. "They've made it a very enjoyable couple of years. I'm very happy for those two, but I'll be very sad to lose them. They really became the foundation of the program."

Need ideas for homemade Halloween costumes for the very tall.
I've been invited to a friend's Halloween party again this year and am looking for some good homemade costume ideas. [more inside]
"Hell House" script wanted!
Where can I download or view a "Hell House" script, as used by Christian churches to warn teens of the evils of abortion, homosexuality, etc? (These used to be sold as kits, but I can't seem to find where to order one.) A scene by scene breakdown would also be useful... Thanks in advance, sinners!
Unique Victorian Bat Wedding Dress - where to start?
I am getting married on Halloween this year and after a few months of trying to find a unique dress for the occasion and kept coming back to one that I love, both for the personal touch (I have always loved bats since my childhood), appropriate for the elaborate-ness I was wanting to go for, and perfect for the vintage Halloween theme I had in mind. Where do I start? Many questions from someone with very little experience in the seamstress / costume industry. The original image that inspires the look is here. More below the fold of what I've found online. [more inside]

Where to buy Kerr's orange and black wrapper 'Halloween' candies?
I'm looking for those terrible candies that you resented in your Halloween loot bag as a kid. I need to buy some, ideally online. Must ship to Canada. My Google-fu is failing me, only turning up out-of-stocks from Halloween. There has got to be somewhere that stocks them year round. What store/site is this?
Donate a Halloween costume in November in DC
I accidentally purchased a child's Halloween costume instead of an adult-sized one when ordering online. I used one piece of the costume (hat), so I can't return it, but the rest has never been worn, so I'd like to donate it. Googling turns up donation drives from 1-2 months ago, but nothing in November. DC MeFites, can you think of anyone who would take this? Preferably in DC proper, does not need to be tax-deductible.
Pink wig + glasses + something = Halloween
OK, I have done some googling, but no good finds yet -- I need help with last-minute Halloween costume ideas using a short pink wig and my own glasses... I'm average weight and pretty short.
Silver cream makeup-- how do you stay on?
I bought a tube of silver cream makeup for my halloween costume weeks ago! I thought I was so prepared, but now I'm realizing when I apply it to my face, it doesn't really seem to dry. I'm not close to any costume stores, unfortunately, but I do have a pretty well stocked drug store nearby, what should I be putting on on top of this to ensure that my face is not wet all night? Or alternatively, have I just not been waiting long enough-- how long should this stuff take to dry?
Help me add a little something to my Donald Trump Halloween costume.
I just finished a trial run of my Donald Trump Halloween face makeup (like this) and I'm pretty happy with the results. However, given my personal opinion of the man, I don't want my costume to be some sort of homage, so I'd like to add a funny or ironic twist. Puns are acceptable. [more inside]
How to "wear" a plastic Hallowe'en mask suspended in front of my face?
I picked up a hideous hard plastic fanged ghoul mask at a central California valley supermarket for .49¢. It looks like this fellow, only more colorful. I want to "be" this thing for Hallowe'en, but I don't want to spend the night with gross slimy plastic on my face, especially as there are no breathing holes. How can I easily suspend a traditional plastic mask an inch or three in front of my face? It has big eye holes and tiny side holes to hold an elastic head band, but is otherwise a solid sheet of plastic.

I was laid off from my job of 9 years in the construction field a month ago. I believe my employer is using temporary laborors to do my old job. I also believe he may be looking to hire someone new to replace me, however at a lower wage. Can an employer do this, or is he legally obligated to call me back to work and offer me my job back under the same conditions of my previous employment before hiring temp people or new employees? I thought laid off workers had first dibs on their old jobs per the terms of being temporarially laid off? I thought that was the difference between layoffs and termination?

The big-mountain pow benchmark.
A pow-crushing, pillow-stomping, big-mountain gun, Armada's Magic J Ski is Tanner Hall's powder ski of choice for obvious reasons. By beefing up the dimensions of the JJ from chubby to full-on fat and moving the contact point forward, you get the same ease of turning and high-speed stability of the JJ, but in a stabler throttle-pinching platform that's able to handle the ultra-deep days, pants-soiling lines, and, "there's only one way to find out," pillows like it's no big deal.
Equipped with an EST Freeride Rocker profile (a rockered tip and tail with regular camber underfoot), these bad boys allow for fast, sweeping turns down big lines in blower pow and occasional patches of unexpected mixed snow. Armada built the Magic J on a Hybrid Ultralight wood core, which provides stability along with pop, and laminated it with a series of fiberglass layers to keep it stiff and chargy when other skis would be in danger of folding up.
Like all Armada's big-mountain boards, the Magic J is finished off with AR50 sandwich sidewall construction, which employs sidewalls underfoot and cap construction in the extremities for a feel that's edgy and stiff where you need it but jibby and smooth where you don't, so you can count on a predictable feel when you're charging down floaty pillow lines, in variable snow, or through tight 'n' techy spots. In addition, you'll be grateful for the lightweight, strong 1.7mm edges that have been heat treated for durability and 50/50 bases that offer a just-right blend of speed and durability.

Greatest ski's of all time
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After a 25 day season including Chugash Heli, Japan resort pow and touring, Japan ice, Austria ice, groomers and backcountry, I now know why they call them Magic. They float in pow and ski big AK lines magnificently; they turn on a dime in deep trees and can even be fun on groomers and not bad in mogul fields. I've been an Armada fan for a long time, but these babies take it to a whole new level.
Great Ski
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm a PNW skier, 5-7, 160 lbs. I have these mounted with Dynafit Radicals and have toured them about 10 days so far. No resort riding days.
After trying a couple different skis (Surface New Life, Line Opus) for touring the past few years, I got these for this season, and i'm completely sold. They are a perfect flex for my size, pretty stiff but not overwhelmingly so. The camber underfoot is great for traction on the uphill, and on icy ski outs to the car. In good snow, though, they are very stable and fun to ski. i have sen them off some moderate pillows and drops, and they are easy to stomp. They are also very light for how big they are, noticeably lighter than either the Lines or the Surfaces.
Game Changer - most fun ski!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Tanner Hall was right, these skis have changed the game. I just spent 6 days at Snowbird after they received 40+ inches and these skis can rip the entire mountain. For a ski that is supper wide, they are actually very nimble and responsive. Unbelievable float in powder due to the rocker. Stable shredding big turns in bowls and quick enough to zip through tight trees. By far the best ski that I've ridden. I loved the JJs and 4frnt CRJs, but this is now my new favorite! So playful they turn the whole mountain into a playground that one can tear up with ease.
Rip in pow, fun and playful
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These skis are fun AF. While they aren't the fattest skis they float awesome with the early rise. Also they do pretty well on the groomers as well as long as it isn't bullet proof. They take tight turns well, but are happiest slashing big GS turns in untracked snow. Great ski to add to the quiver.
Armada's Product Video
Are these running short? I'm 6' tall, around 200 lb. should I go with 180 or 190 as advanced skier
At your height and weight is really comes down to personal preference. The longer ski is going to have more float and a longer turn radius whereas the shorter ski will turn a little tighter. I will shoot you an email to discuss this further so we can get you on the right setup.

Reunited Fall Out Boy looks to recapture chart-topping success
