About This Book
Black Beauty's story, as told by himself, is the fascinating tale of the life of a horse a hundred years ago, when horses were a part of daily life. Although his colthood and early life are happy, Black Beauty tastes the bitterness of cruel handlers and indifferent masters as he passes from hand to hand, progressing from the country to London and back again.
Written in 1877 as an appeal for the humane treatment of horses, Black Beauty ranks among the most famous and popular of animal stories.
Sample Text
There was one man, I thought, if he would buy me, I should be happy. He was not a gentleman. He was rather a small man, but well made, and quick in all his motions. I knew in a moment, by the way he handled me, that he was used to horses; he spoke gently, and his gray eye had a kindly, cheery look in it. It may seem strange to say — but it is true all the same — that the clean, fresh smell there was about him made me take to him; no smell of old beer and tobacco, which I hated, but a fresh smell as if he had come out of a hayloft. He offered twenty-three pounds for me; but that was refused, and he walked away.

Product Information
Arc'teryx Fission SL Insulated Jacket - Men's Black, L
What do you get when you fuse luxury fabrics and revolutionary construction from a company that likes to push forward the evolution of outdoor apparel and set new industry standards? You get the Arc'teryx Men's Fission SL Insulated Jacket, an incredibly lightweight yet durable waterproof, insulated jacket that has evolved to thrive under hard and prolonged use in the harshest alpine conditions. It is the lightest- weight waterproof, insulated jacket that Arc'teryx offers. Arc'teryx engineered the jacket's NP40p-x face fabric to be incredibly durable and water-repellent while remaining extremely lightweight. It's laminated it to a Gore-Tex Pro fabric to create a highly breathable, lightweight, and durable waterproof fabric made for the most extreme conditions and use. Arc'teryx's Therma Tek insulation is treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that keeps it from absorbing water if it's exposed to moisture. In an innovative construction process, the insulation is bonded to a tough nylon lining to create one consistent layer of warmth that leaves no cold spots that could otherwise be caused by insulation clumping. The jacket is sealed up by a high-tech watertight Vislon 2-way front zipper that keeps water out without the need for bulky storm flaps, and allows you to open the jacket from the top or bottom for easy access. One-handed drawcords at the hood and a drawcord at the hem allow you to cinch up, and the high collar on the hood, with soft brushed microsuede lining, provides full coverage to protect your neck and chin. Once you've battened down the hatches, you can always dump excess heat through the underarm zip vents. The hood is large enough to cover a ski or climbing helmet, and is designed to move with your head so you always maintain a full field of vision. The overall streamlined athletic fit and low-bulk profile of the jacket, along with anatomical shaping, articulated elbows, and underarm gussets, support agile movement so you're not restric...

Healthy Banana Waffles Recipe
By Jennifer von Ebers | June 20, 2013
I had bananas that were going bad and I had to do something with them or throw them out. I haven't made waffles in a while, so that was what I decided to make. I've made many versions over the years, and when I stared into my pantry, I didn't want to use regular all purpose flour and I had a huge container of oats, so I decided to use a blender to make oat flour. All you do is take a few cups of oats, and blend them for a minute or so until it resembles flour. Measure out the 1 cup needed for this recipe and save the rest in a Ziploc bag or jar for another use. I also saw a jar of wheat germ in my pantry and decided to throw some of that in a blender to get a smoother consistency. Just as with the oats, measure out what you need for this recipe and save the rest for later.

In Photos: The Lumineers with Soak & Sleepwalker @ the Bomb Factory, Dallas TX
The Lumineers took Dallas to Church Sunday with a sold out performance at the Bomb Factory in Deep Ellum.
The RecordBar in Kansas City can feature some pretty diverse lineups, but the booking agent there must know what he's doing because these lineups always work. Wednesday, the bar brought Ume, Fierce Bad Rabbit and Radiation City together for a genre-ranging show that carried the audience from gentle indie pop to blown out rock-and-roll.
While one may argue that teenage wangsting doesn't really constitute a "saga" – no, not even if one of the teenagers is a vampire – Edward and Jacob fangirls (because who out there really is a fan of Bella? I mean, really?) across the country should be excited to hear that their favorite hunks of paranormal hotness are hitting the big screen even before the November 18th release of Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
Usually when music lovers show support for their favorite artist, they simply wear a t-shirt in support. But the fans of Deadmau5 take fandom to whole new level.
It started with a tweet on Monday – Nathan Fillion sent out a message that was sure to tantalize his loyal fanbase:
"Oh, it's real. Very. Very. Real. muchadothemovie.com"
Some rumors have been spreading around that a Dark Knight Rises teaser would be attached to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol's release and Wednesday, AMC confirmed these rumors.
It was already a treat to have Yellowcard return to making music in 2011 with the release of When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes. Now Yellowcard has another treat for fans: an acoustic version of that entire album.
Even though its not quite Halloween, were skipping a holiday or two and getting in the Christmas Spirit in anticipation of A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas. Coming to theaters on November 4th, you can guarantee that this 3D comedy will be all up in your face! The film takes place six years […]
The third installment of the Paranormal Activity franchise lives up to the standards set by the first two films in style, effects, performance and over all quality. Paranormal Activity creator/writer Oren Peli with directing duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who brought us the must-see Catfish) put together a film that is, simply put, very well done. The way they are able to seamlessly tell a story via […]
For rock music lovers, it can be a bit difficult to explain what's so entertaining about a band like Explosions in the Sky. "Instrumental rock? Like Bach and stuff?" This is a sadly common reaction I get when I recommend the Austin, Texas band Explosions in the Sky to people. No, symphony orchestras don't have a monopoly on instrumental music; and yes, instrumental music can indeed "rock." Even if people seem like they're understanding the concept of instrumental rock, they're still skeptical of how that can translate into an entertaining live show. Admittedly, there are plenty of instrumental rock bands that do have boring live shows or depend on lights to keep people entertained. But Explosions in the Sky live up to their name with an explosive and energetic live show that is a feast for eyes and ears.
Remakes — eeks! Many a film lover cringes at the idea of a remake. But in a few rare instances, the remake can outshine the original. This is the case with the new spin on the classic dance comedy "Footloose."

Tournament looking super rigged today. I feel sorry for Temple and Iowa State.
Zeller looks like a 4 today. Temple going at him successfully on the inside.
Lamb on nba tv. Old game
I tell you who has looked only so so is Zeller.
We should draft Khalif Wyatt with our Toronto pick. JAMES HARDEN 2.0!
I'm picking the spurs to stop the heat's win streak.
And that's if popovich decides to play Duncan, ginobili and parker this time around.
They counting shots again!! #WYATT
Bmuelle and I REPRESENT!
Kevin martin's pre all-star break numbers: 15 points per game on 43 percent shooting.
Post all-star break numbers: 11 points per game on 36 percent shooting.
hopefully comes playoff time he finds back that stroke (he already doesn't contribute anywhere else) because we're going to need it.
comeone temple!
It's the Bostrich's birthday today, guys. What should we get him?
indiand-temple 24-24.Khalif Wyatt has 20 for temple
this wyatt kid is crazy
that was bad oladipo
Royce young @royceyoung Hate the "college > NBA because they don't play for money" argument. you like handheld, amateur movies better than tarantino flicks too?
Royce is just too funny.
Let's lose Indiana!
So Toronto's first round pick needs to fall between 4 and 14. Is the general consensus here that we want Toronto to tank so we get a better pick this year? Or would it be better if they made the playoffs and we got it next year? I don't follow college basketball that closely, so I don't know how good this draft class is.
This Wyatt dude is making Oladipo look bad. Crossed him over and got into the lane for scores multiple times.
Does the thunder play tonight? Why is livefyre asleep? I can go if you guys wants me to go ;)
i don't get people who say that college basketball is better than the nba
Dear Toronto,
You should shut down Rudy Gay......
along with Amir Johnson, Demar Derozan, Jonas Valanciunas, Ed Davis, Alan Anderson, and Kyle Lowry.
Thunder Fans
@ThunderChick2010 Unrated version: http://goo.gl/YNXxQ :)
Strippers? Check.
Scoring acumen? Check.
Beard? Damn.
@ EatSleepThunder He'll be in D League most likely but he's one of those guys who will probably get some looks in the NBA. Maybe eventually end up in the Spanish ACB.
@ EatSleepThunder Probably won't be drafted.
@ EatSleepThunder im undefeated doe
@SniperJones035 Yeah, I mean what's unnerving is that many of his shots are open, good looks. He's just not hitting them for whatever reason.
@duhsweetness a tennis bracelet with the engraving "Lebron 4eva"
@see-mittens He's torching Oladipo.
@SniperJones035 The "don't play for money" argument is so silly and almost always comes from folks who have a very elementary understanding of the way the business of college bball works.
@SniperJones035Wait till he sees a couple of my handheld amateur movies.
@ashar00f I think the consensus is that this is a deep draft, but seemingly one without serious stars. So theoretically, it's a good draft for this pick.
I'm still not sold, however.
@ashar00f toronto doesnt really have a chance to make the playoffs.this year there isn't any guys who is considered a franchise player but there are guys that will become good players.2014 is going to be one of the best drafts recently according to experts
@d21 I use to say that all the time before the Thunder moved to OKC. Now, after watching Russ, KD, Harden and Ibaka for a few years, I can hardly make myself watch college ball.
@d21 It boggles the mind. It's a different game, and people can certainly have a preference, but it being "better" is foolish on its face.
Edit: Replace Ed Davis with Terrence Ross and like my post, please! ;)
@ EatSleepThunder Clone Bargnani and start him at all 5 positions!
@Sigmund Rasual Butler>Fisher
@Old Man Game But did you see that gif!
@Fezzy @ EatSleepThunder Why Shabazz, we have Lamb...would make no sense.
@Lost Ones Good job Lost Ones! Too bad you didn't submit it to ESPN... you could have won $10,000
@d21 In fact, were it not for the NBA draft and OU making the tournament this year, I doubt I'd watch at all.
@Fezzy Damn it! I was reading the stats for the raptors and for some reason I thought he was traded TO Toronto.....
@Sigmund @Fezzy @ EatSleepThunder Yeah, then we'd just have to redshirt Shabbaz for a year and push back the timetable even further, all while D Fish plays 2 guard for us and I pull my hair out.
@ EatSleepThunder I submitted it to yahoo :)

With a delicious prospect of some midweek fantasy action and a chance to male up some ground in their fantasy leagues managers will be keen to make this week's midweek captain decision count and as usual our coaches here in the managers office have been hard at work sifting through all the viable options from this week's player tips to come up with three options for fantasy football managers to consider before the kick off of tonight's first game.
This week's captain decision for many is a no brainer for many fantasy managers with Manchester United's Robin Van Persie the firm favourite among them to take possession of the armband as United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Wednesday night and it would seem that our coaches are in full agreement. Van Persie's goal record this season speaks for it's self and with the Saints having conceded 26 goals in 11 away games the appeal of handing the Dutch man the honour becomes all the more alluring.
Juan Mata is another option for fantasy managers to consider ahead of Chelse's game with Reading if they feel that perhaps RVP could stumble this week and they want to take a risky differential captain decision. Mata has been at the heart of the Chelsea attack in recent weeks and with the Blue's seemingly playing better on their travels under Rafa Benitez it may not be all that risky of a decision after all.
Tottenham provide us with the last man on our list for the armband this week in the shape of Gareth Bale, the Welsh winger has been hit and miss this season and hasn't scored since round 19 when he picked up a hat-trick but after grabbing an assist over the weekend in the F.A Cup he could well be about to go on another run of games that could see him emulate the form we saw from him over the festive period.
Captain Tips
Robin Van Persie (Manchester United) £8.5 million Fixture: Southampton (Home)
Juan Mata (Chelsea) £5.3 million Fixture: Reading (Away)
Gareth Bale (Tottenham) £5.4 million Fixture: Norwich (Away)

Ed Mezvinsky, 73, Clinton's future father-in-law and former U.S. congressman, is looking forward to Saturday's big event and was spotted getting a haircut in Rhinebeck, N.Y., where the affair will take place at the Astor Courts estate.
"These are two wonderful human beings that have sensitivity about life and have a warm regard for family, and that's what it's all about," the former Iowa Rep. tells the New York Post.
Mezvinsky, who has a criminal record after pleading guilty to 31 counts of fraud in 2001, says he has rebuilt his relationship with his son and the Clinton family after his 2008 release from federal prison.
"I'm remorseful for what happened," Mezvinsky says. "It was a terrible time, and I was punished for that. And I respect that and accept responsibility for what happened, and now I'm trying to move on and am grateful I have the opportunity for that."
The wedding will be an elegant affair – and guests are expected to plan accordingly. Those invited to the rehearsal dinner are being asked to wear "country chic or cocktail apparel," reports New York's Daily News.
Adhering to the exclusive nature of Clinton's big day, on Wednesday the Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary no-fly zone for the area surrounding the Astor Courts estate. Flights will not be allowed below 2,000 feet between 3 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

It's been a bumpy ride but the bike has gone from a much-mocked contraption to an icon of our urban future
In 1869, the first issue of the French cycling magazine Le Vélocipède Illustré featured on its cover an image of Lady Progress riding a bicycle, accompanied by a stirring editorial: "The velocipede is not a fad born yesterday, in vogue today, to be forgotten tomorrow. It supplants the raw and unintelligent speed of the masses with the speed of the individual. This horse of wood and iron fills a void in modern life."
In Britain, however, the velocipede has had a bumpy ride: hugely popular in the first half of the 20th century, out of vogue for decades, and now

Four years ago today, the San Antonio Spurs and the New Orleans Hornets were in the middle of a seven game series that was both entertaining and not. Only one of their 2008 Western Conference Semifinal series was decided by less than ten points and more were decided by closer than 21 points with the home team winning every game except Game Seven, which the Spurs won in New Orleans.
The premier match up of that series was Chris Paul and Tony Parker. Paul, the league's best player that year (he finished second to Kobe Bryant in MVP voting, which was incorrect on the voter's part) versus Parker, the league's reigning Finals MVP. Paul was brilliant that series, averaging almost 24 points, 11 assists, four boards and 2.6 steals a game. Parker wasn't Paul brilliant, but his 19 points and nearly six assists per game were key, particularly in the Games Three and Four when the Spurs were able to even up the series. As great as their 2008 match up was, 2012 has the potential to be even better. Paul in the midst of another MVP caliber season and Parker having his first and is also the true focal point of the Spurs' offense for the first time in his career.
The Spurs and Clippers played three times this season, the Spurs winning the first two and the Clippers winning their final match up. Parker didn't play in that game, but it may not have had mattered if he did. Paul and Mo Williams both played out of their minds and the Spurs helped them by playing very little defense. Parker bested Paul in the two games both played in, averaging 22 points and 9.5 assists to Paul's 15.5 points and 7.5 assists. According to NBA Stats Cube, Parker's plus/minus was an absurd +20.5 when he and Paul were on the court at the same time. This isn't significant in a who's better head to head way, because Paul and Parker actually don't guard each other that much. Where it is significant is that it shows that the Spurs defended Paul fairly well this season and the Clippers couldn't seem to figure Parker out. Expect that trend to continue at least through Game One considering Vinny Del Negro and his staff will have just over 48 hours to game plan for Parker.
What the Clippers do on offense isn't incredibly complicated, but that doesn't mean it's easy to stop. The Spurs are going to see a healthy dose of Paul high pick-and-rolls. You saw it against Memphis. The screen gets set just above the three point line so Paul can get a running start around the screen and go right at the the larger defender. More time than not that big defender is worried about getting blown by so he hangs back and Paul pulls up for a 17 foot jumper that he has mastered. It's likely the Spurs will try trapping Paul above the three point line, bring help from different parts of the court (something coach Gregg Popovich is legendary for) or let Paul score as many points as he wants without getting his teammates involved, which is something they did a lot versus Steve Nash during a lot of those Spurs-Phoenix Suns series.
When the Spurs won their second title in 2003 and the Minnesota Timberwolves made their playoff run the next season, I thought we were headed for a half decade of Tim Duncan-Kevin Garnett playoff match ups. Two of the best power forwards of their era (and possibly ever) going at it year after year would've been something even the NBA casual fan could've gotten behind even if it was the T'Wolves and Spurs slugging it out. We didn't get that mostly thanks to Kevin McHale being a bad General Manager (we did get some classic Duncan-Dirk match ups though). Paul-Parker has the potential to be what Duncan/Garnett never was over the next few years. We've already seen one epic clash. Chapter two starts Tuesday night.

Why Treaties?
For many people, treaties seem like a relic of the past. Weren't treaties signed a long time ago, when Europeans first settled in North America?
In fact they were, in most of the continent. But treaties are unfinished business here in British Columbia. This unfinished business is costing the provincial economy a lot of money because of continuing uncertainty over ownership of millions of acres of land. It's also standing in the way of aboriginal communities regaining the self-sufficiency they once had.
When the early Europeans first began to settle in the eastern
part of North America, Britain recognized that those people
who were already living here had title to land: the Royal
Proclamation of 1763 declared that only the British Crown
could acquire lands from First Nations, and ...

A recent visitor to the chunky hill country of southeastern Ohio saw everything he expected to see there. There was the rugged terrain, the ancient rocks scattered across the landscape, and the endless stands of vigilant pines. Then he saw something that made him forget everything else.
On an evening walk near the Wayne National Forest that was part scouting trip for future deer hunts and part therapy to escape the stress of the job and the constant harassment of cell phones and BlackBerrys, he encountered a piece of Ohio's past.
There on a slim ridge of rock, maybe 30 feet above the crude footpath that wound its way up and down through a ravine, he saw a bobcat. Not a raccoon, a possum or a coyote that for a fleeting moment might have looked like a bobcat - he saw a bobcat.
This guy wasn't confused, he wasn't imagining things, he wasn't drinking, and he wasn't going for a walk without his glasses. This guy knows the woods and he knows his wildlife, and if he said he saw a bobcat, then he saw a bobcat.
It was fascinating on its own, the fact that he had encountered a bobcat in the wild. But what made the story even more interesting is that he was hesitant to say a word about it, for fear he would be ridiculed for having one of the previously stated shortcomings. Fear of not being believed had essentially prevented him from sharing the excitement of his experience.
What this woods wanderer did not know was that he had just joined a club with growing membership. There were more than 100 confirmed sightings of bobcats in Ohio last year, and nearly that many the year before. When you throw in the sightings that were not "officially" confirmed, they likely number in the hundreds.
Unfortunately, what happens in many cases where rare or unusual sightings take place is that the first reaction of the experts and many others is to scoff at the mere suggestion. Some people are too full of themselves to believe that if they haven't seen something, then no one else could have witnessed it either.
Now this wasn't a yeti, a jackalope, a little green man stepping off a spaceship, or Bob Barker. Those would enter the realm of the absurd. This was a reunion between one outdoorsman and a creature his great-great grandfather might have seen in the Ohio hill country early in the 19th century.
The bobcat was common in this territory before the area was settled, but when man moved in and cities developed and the landscape in many parts of Ohio was transformed for agricultural purposes, the bobcat was much less comfortable here. For a reclusive animal that thrived in wild surroundings, the changing Ohio was no longer home.
Wildlife biologists estimate that by the time of the Civil War, the bobcat was no longer present in Ohio. It wasn't until about 40 or 50 years ago that a few unverified reports of bobcat sightings started to trickle in. Over the past four decades, there have been close to 500 accounts of bobcat encounters in Ohio that have been verified by the experts.
Before a sighting of any unusual animal goes into the official record in Ohio, it has to be verified with photos of the animal or its tracks, or road kill, or trapping. Remote cameras have become a very valuable tool in this process, and the evidence that bobcats are again on the prowl in southeastern Ohio is significant.
The roster of wildlife making its home in the Buckeye State is never set in stone. We have seen populations of eagles, wild turkeys and coyotes rise in recent years. There have been more sightings, confirmed and otherwise, of bears in Ohio. Reports of big cats in our state cannot be ignored.
An opportunity to witness one of these creatures in the wild should be celebrated, not ridiculed or kept secret. If Ohio is once again offering sound habitat for bears, wild turkeys and bobcats, that just makes a walk in the woods hold more promise, with the potential to encounter one of these original residents of our state.

The field of in silico drug discovery and development was spawned to service this need, bolstered by the reams of genomic data now available for analysis. Traditionally, treatment needs in the marketplace have been serviced through the "on the job" experience of big pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies identifying gaps in the market, rather than by rigorous process. in silico drug discovery and development sets out to provide such a process and, through analysis and visualization, enable knowledge-based medicine.
In the case of AnVil, an informatics company founded in 2000 and built around analysis and visualization intellectual property licensed from the University of Massachusetts, our avowed mission was to be the pre-eminent commercialization partner to the life science industry focused on in silico drug discovery and development solutions. This was accomplished by integrating a team of physicians and data miners (richly experienced in life sciences) with excellent healthcare data feeds and an award-winning technology platform: ADAPT (AnVil Data Analysis Platform Technology).
AnVil was assembled with the realization that healthcare companies are hungry to monetize their data, now possible with the advent of electronic medical records. The technology platform was built to service clients rather than to provide shrink-wrapped software or even an enterprise solution. Clients included HealthSouth, Genomics Collaborative, and Eclipsys/SunClinical, as well as Applied Biosystems and several top-tier pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. We also serviced academia.
From a technology perspective, several companies supply software and enterprise solutions, while many others build service businesses. In AnVil's case, a brand was built to outlicense the solutions and information gleaned from analysis.Hammer Time
But the past couple of years have seen a severe downturn in market sentiment for platform companies in the life sciences. During this decline, informatics took a particularly severe hit, as molecules shifted to the market's flavor du jour. This has led to the inevitable Darwinism — Viagen and Molecular Mining being just two notable examples of companies that ran out of runway due to cash constraints. Indeed, only a dozen or so of the roughly 150 informatics companies that hoped to make it into 2003 have survived.
AnVil was, until recently, among the dozen ... so why no more?
Software companies have come to realize that, in this financial environment, the "seats" are limited. Even if you can sell an enterprise product at list price to top companies, it probably amounts to only a $25-million-per-annum business. This will not satisfy the venture capital crowd, fatigued by current portfolios and looking for big returns to average funds, many of which are reaching maturity.
The service sector seems to be the only way to hope to get the kind of returns needed and expected, particularly by providing third-party findings under license to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology client sector. But how to create the "must have" versus "nice to have"? What if the knowledge solutions provided allow for improvement in efficacy of drugs, identification of counter- indications, off-label use, co-morbidities, and so on? Surely that brings real commercial value for the client.
It appeared so for AnVil, at least for a while. But who could have predicted that the energy and accounting scandals would spill over into healthcare (as they did with HealthSouth, Tenent, etc.)? Moreover, who would have thought that several large alliance deals completed recently would be seen as not delivering sufficient upside, as appears to be the case?
All this has led to severe softening of the investment market, even for the service informatics companies, which until now have survived the Darwinism era. In AnVil's case, the sales cycles of Big Pharma, in large part resulting from the ongoing merger and acquisition activity, together with unpaid accounts receivable, led to a terminal softening as we attempted to close C-round financing. The company shut its doors on May 2, running a skeleton team to service some commercial deals until May 30, and moved to dissolution on July 1, 2003.The 80:20 Rule
But is this really the end of the in silico drug discovery and development market?
Maybe the 80:20 rule should apply and the focus should shift to 80 percent on a more integrated approach to the development of commercial findings inhouse — particularly if the investment community can be persuaded to throw one of its "Hail Mary" passes at evidence-based medicine. The investment market does, after all, seem to be focusing on vision rather than early income.
The remaining 20 percent of focus should be on selling the information and knowledge resulting from the analyses to healthcare clients, likely in report form, in order to implement the findings for health management improvements, and provide additional cash flow to fund the integrated enterprise.
Whatever the commercial knowledge-based solution, it is time to create the integrated in silico drug discovery and development company — our concept is called EviMed — that would internally develop "nouveau" drugs at least into the clinic, before seeking out commercialization partners. That is, of course, assuming we can attract investment ...

Helena Bonham Carter to be honored by the London Film Critics' Circle
I'm the first to admit that I don't tend to take great interest in press releases announcing the umpteenth honorary award winner of the season -- while frequently deserved and hard-earned, such honors can seem like unspecific garnish beside their tangier competitive counterparts.
Still, having now served for two years on the awards committee of the London Film Critics' Circle, I'm well aware of the extensive consultation and organization that goes into such seemingly simple awards. As we tried to decide on a recipient for next year's Dilys Powell Award -- recognizing outstanding contribution to British cinema -- a lengthy list of candidates was considered and debated over several meetings and countless emails, until one outstanding name was roundly agreed upon: Helena Bonham Carter.
Bonham Carter is no stranger to the London critics' shindig, having won our British Actress of the Year award 15 years ago for "The Wings of the Dove." Her career has grown and shifted so much since then, however, that the time feels ripe for a cumulative honor. Once the quintessential English rose, rarely seen out of a corset, she has grown, via "Fight Club," "Harry Potter" and her personal and professional partnership with Tim Burton, into something considerably more fun: one of the British acting community's grandest, most agreeably eccentric character actors. (She has since been nominated three more times by the LFCC, for "Sweeney Todd," "The King's Speech" and "Alice in Wonderland." Please don't yell at me about that last one; I wasn't a member then.)
This award comes at the end of a year in which Bonham Carter has also been honored with a BFI Fellowship, while playing the eccentric card even more gleefully than usual on screen. Recently, she's taken on both Miss Havisham in "Great Expectations" and Madame Thénardier in "Les Misérables," with another Burton caricature ("Dark Shadows") thrown in for good measure. She could feasibly wind up also nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the critics, but either way, we're guaranteed her reliably entertaining presence (and speech) at the ceremony in January. (Sadly, I'll be far from home at the Sundance fest.)
With typically good humor, Bonham Carter offered this statement: "To be chosen for this award is a surprise and an honour. I am delighted! It's always nice when critics say something nice about you for a change, and especially the critics in your hometown."
Previous recipients of the Dilys Powell Award include Kristin Scott Thomas, Judi Dench, Mike Leigh, Michael Caine, Charlotte Rampling and last year's choice, Nicolas Roeg.
This announcement, meanwhile, precedes the nominations for the London Film Critics' Circle Awards, which will be unveiled on Monday. (I'm still in the process of trying to pull my ballot into some sort of shape before Friday's deadline.) The awards ceremony, this year held in aid of the charity Missing People, will take place in Mayfair on January 20.

ivan: I have news for you Muslim apologist who believe in our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ . Those that deny the Son are not of the Father . They are in the spirit of the Anti-Christ . For if they do not know the Son they do not know the Father . That goes for Jews , Muslims , Hindus , Bhuddist , Voo-Doo whatever . There is no greater evil than those whom deny Jesus as dying for our sins . There is no Jew nor Gentile under God ( Romans 3) . Only those who believe . Keep trying to tell yourselves those whom deny Jesus as being in good spirit or come with good deeds . No middle ground here . You are of Christ or the anti-Christ .Even the seemingly nicest deeds of those who deny are proven wicked in the end .

What: The ECU Scottish Rite program specializes in providing diagnostic evaluations to children and adolescents who are suspected of having or who have been diagnosed as having a language-based learning disability (i.e. problems with pre-reading skills, reading, writing, understanding speech, and/or expressing themselves orally).
Who: Children from the ages of 4 to 18 are seen through the SRF program. Children 8 years of age and older will need to have had a psychological evaluation (within the last 3 years) that gives individualized IQ scores. Children who have below average cognitive ability are not considered to be eligible for an evaluation under the auspices of the Scottish Rite Program; however they can receive an extensive language and reading/written language evaluation through the regular ECU Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic for a nominal fee.
When: After the child has been referred to the clinic, a package of information will be sent to the child's parents/guardians, including a Case History Form and a School Questionnaire. These forms, along with any previous evaluation results, must be returned to ECU for review. When all information has been received, the parents will be contacted regarding their evaluation status and to schedule an appointment.
Where: The program is housed in the ECU Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, and is located in the new Health Sciences Building on Highway 43 North behind the Brody School of Medicine and Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
How are Referrals Made?: Anyone may refer a child to the SRF Program. Call (252) 744-6104 and leave referral information with the secretary.
Cost: There is a service fee of $50.00 for the evaluation and is used for off-setting the costs of postage, copying of reports, clerical assistance, and other materials needed for completing the report for the parent. This is not a fee that is reimbursable by insurance or health coverage and parents are asked to pay the fee at the time of the evaluation.
Evaluation services are provided by faculty members in the Dept. of CSDI who are certified by the American Speech Language and Hearing Association and licensed by the State of NC as Speech-Language Pathologists. Graduate students assist these faculty members with the evaluations.
The evaluations comprise all areas of language including assessment in language expression, language reception and processing, reading (decoding and comprehension), writing and spelling, memory, perception, and attention. These evaluations are quite extensive and may involve one or two diagnostic sessions to complete the collection of data (both informal and formal) from which a diagnosis is determined. When the results of the child's performance on the tests have been analyzed, individualized recommendations regarding future intervention strategies, and additional testing or referrals to other professionals will be suggested to the parents in the form of an extensive written report.

Confirming days of rumors, Jeff Gaspin, the chairman of NBC Universal Entertainment, on Sunday announced that starting Feb. 12, The Jay Leno Show will no longer air at 10 p.m. but that the network hoped to keep Leno for an 11:35 p.m. show, Conan O'Brien for 12:05 p.m. and then Jimmy Fallon after that.
But, Gaspin adds, "It's not a done deal yet."
Gaspin admits that The Jay Leno Show "did not meet affiliate needs" but that through it all, Leno and O'Brien have been "incredibly gracious and professional."
"Beyond that is a private conversation and when it all settles, you can talk to them about that," Gaspin says. "We're back in conversation tomorrow."
When asked why O'Brien would choose to remain at NBC with other networks interested in him, Gaspin says, "Conan's motivation will become more clear as time goes on. We gave something important to him, which was The Tonight Show, made it clear that it was moving with him. Conan wanted the franchise of The Tonight Show; Jay wanted to tell jokes at 11:30. Still things [need] to be worked out."

ABC (Thursdays, 8 P.M. ET)
A year after her ugly departure from Declining Women...oops, Designing Women, a newly blond, kohl-eyed Delta Burke returns with her own Southern sitcom.
She plays Delta Bishop, a woman who leaves an unhappy small-town marriage to pursue her dream of becoming a country singer in Nashville. She gets a job in a nightclub owned by Earl (Police Woman) Holliman.
This redneck rialto is definitely on the lowbrow side and a little thin in the script. But it's brisk and breezy with a promisingly loony supporting cast, including Gigi Rice, Beth Grant and Bill Engvall. Burke herself has a sure and engaging comedic presence. She's like a female Jackie Gleason in the endearing way she embodies both cockiness and fragility. One thing, though: She can't sing a lick.

Several clinical disorders mimic the signs and symptoms of pheochromocytoma; the definitive diagnosis of this condition thus rests primarily on showing excessive and inappropriate production of catecholamine. Because pheochromocytoma is fatal if undiagnosed, biochemical tests used to detect it should have a high sensitivity. In addition, the predictive value of any negative test result should exclude false-negative results as efficiently as possible. A false-positive result is relatively less important because additional testing (using, for example, clonidine suppression, glucagon stimulation, and imaging techniques) can be done to rule out the disease.

Following the enormously successful 2012 inaugural competition, Sunset magazine, the premier guide to life in the West, has announced that entries are now being accepted for the 2013 Sunset International Wine Competition. The deadline for entries and wine delivery is March 8th. Call for Entries opens January 7, 2013, and closes March 8, 2013. The online entry fee is $99. Judging will be at Sunset headquarters in Menlo Park, April 8-9, 2013. Award winners will be announced in the October 2013 issue of Sunset magazine and on Sunset.com, beginning October 1, 2013. Full competition details are available on Sunset.com/siwc.
"With 2,837 entries in 2012 from across the U.S. and worldwide we're proud to have had the most successful launch of a wine competition in the U.S. and we are planning an even bigger competition in 2013," says Sunset Publishing President Barb Newton. "Our 2012 competition winners were promoted to Sunset magazine's 4.6 million loyal readers, 1.1 million monthly unique visitors to Sunset.com, through Sunset's extensive social media network, and at Sunset consumer events. Winners were also promoted on the Sunset tablet edition, which launched one year ago."
With a monthly audience of 4.6 million in print and 1.1 million online, Sunset is the leading media brand in the Western U.S. Almost all (96%) of Sunset subscribers are wine drinkers, and more than three out of four drink wine every week. A fact: Sunset readers consume 10 million glasses of wine in an average week! And 96% say they enjoy exploring new wines, which this competition helps them do with confidence.
Committed to gathering the best judges in the West, Sunset has again named Joel Peterson as Honorary Chair for Winemaker Judges. Peterson, founder and winemaker of Ravenswood Winery, is widely considered one of the deans of West Coast winemaking. His single-vineyard, old-vine Zinfandels are the stuff of legend.
Returning Honorary Chair for Trade and Education (Sommeliers/Retailers/
Serving again as Honorary Chair for Journalists is Sunset magazine's own wine editor Sara Schneider. Along with overseeing Sunset's wine coverage, developing recipes, and writing wine and food stories, Schneider writes a monthly wine column on news, trends, and issues. She has been nominated twice for James Beard Awards for magazine feature reporting and is the co-author of the book California Wine Country: A Sunset Field Guide.
To ensure airtight logistics, Sunset has partnered with long-time competition organizer Rebecca Murphy. Murphy, who organizes the Dallas Morning News and TexSom International Wine Competition, will run the operations and database. Sunset is also committed to a robust international competition, and thus is working with Paul Wagner and Balzac Communications to insure great representation from the best winemakers in key wine regions, not only in the West, but around the world. And Eisch Glassware eisch.us is the exclusive glassware provider.
"Given Sunset's credibility, reach, and influence, the highly talented team we have assembled to manage this competition, and the robust participation of the industry, we are confident that the Sunset International Wine Competition is the most important competition in the country," says Newton. "We're excited to continue to find better and better ways to help our print and online audience of over 5.7 million consumers discover the best wines from around the world to fit their casual, adventurous lifestyles."

At the Super Bowl party I attended, one of the other attendees went to three stores on Sunday that were sold out of chicken wings.
She improvised and made delicious super-sized wings out of drumsticks, served with the traditional carrots, celery and blue cheese dip.
One north-shore-based reporter's wife went to two stores before finding them.
The Rouse's Supermarket on Carrollton Ave. was at capacity at 11 a.m. on game day. All the checkout lines were open, and shoppers jammed them four and five deep. I had plenty of time to ask the lady in line behind me what she planned to cook in the big foil pan she was purchasing.
She knew this was an amazing answer: Coon. As in raccoon. She was buying the pan for her mother to cook one of two racoons that had been brought from Mississippi. Her brother loves it, she told me.
Yes, the raccoon was to be prepared with the traditional side, sweet potatoes. And it isn't greasy, she said, as I've always heard. Her mother cuts off all the fat.
This may sounds wild to lots of people, but New Orleans cooks are famously thrifty and famously open to eating anything. We are one of the last bastions of turtle soup; "cowan" is the Creole term for turtle.And a meat and fish store on St. Claude Ave. would have "coon" listed on its sign occasionally. I know someone who says she cooks anything that wanders into her yard.
One of my Facebook friends cracked, "The problem with (raccoon) is the next day you wake up with circles under your eyes."

I guess it's been four years since I first watched Brian Green's Elegant Universe (and another 4 years since I started writing this). That was the funniest science show I'd ever seen. It seems to me every time these string guys got in trouble with reality they'd invent another dimension to save their theory. And when that failed they shrunk everything so small that it couldn't be measured. That, in my opinion, is very creative science.
So I thought, what would I do with this problem? If I'm so smart, how would I figure it all out? I have a long commute to and from work so a little mental exercise while driving would be nice. It will help keep my mind off the lousy weather and ignorant drivers. First I went back to an old idea of mine.
A long time ago, while destroying a few brain cells with friends I came up with the thought that:
|The Universe is an unimaginably massive parallel analog computer performing the same incredibly stupid simple calculation over and over and over.
But what would that stupid calculation be? I mused over the problem to and from work. Different ideas were tested and rejected. Until finally I settled on the idea of waves. Now the Internet is overflowing with crackpot wave theories with nothing more than incomplete, drug induced brain storms going nowhere in a hurry. So why would I go there? I'm a sailor. I've spent years trying to drive a small boat through wind and wave. I've seen waves do the most incredible things. Waves, I think, are the one energy form that might have a chance of explaining all the complexity of the real world.
The problem was that the current understanding of waves and how they behave just wasn't up to the task of explaining how everything works. I needed a new wave theory, an extension of the current theories. So I began to think about the mechanics of waves. How is the energy actually transferred from place to place? I settled on a simple, well established formula, Ohms Law.
I fully expected this idea to go bust right from the start. I mean, come on, there are people getting paid to think about this stuff. How could I come up with something they missed? Well, I wrote a little program and it worked! So I wrote another one. That worked too! So there I was sucked into four years of thinking about this stuff and I'm not getting paid for it.
Today I've decided to dump what I've learned on the Internet and you guys can think about it. I'm tired of thinking about it. I'm going sailing!

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2387 - October 08, 2010 - ISSN 1539-5065 1 of 7
AuctionBytes has learned that Infopia, an ecommerce solution for eBay and online retailers, has sold its ecommerce-platform assets to Versata. Scott Buoy will head the new company for Versata, which will continue to market the Infopia Transact eCommerce platform. Infopia laid off most of its employees on Thursday, telling them they would be re-hired by the new company.
The transaction was an asset sale - Versata has acquired the Transact ecommerce platform and the brand name Infopia. The parent company will change its name and will continue to market the Enterprise eCommerce Analytics product with a software development team under the leadership of Coleman Barney, President and CEO of Infopia.
Versata is a privately held enterprise software company that wanted to add ecommerce to its suite of offerings that include ERP and content management. The new Versata-owned Infopia will remain in Utah and will cross sell the ecommerce platform to its existing enterprise clients. The move gives Infopia the opportunity to move into a higher end arena, according to sources.
The companies have not yet announced the transaction, more information will be available on Friday.
Update: Versata published a press release about the acquisition on its website.
