Watched the Paul O'Grady Show tonight. Was lolling back in my chair just half my attention on it, when he introduced a RL item! A young kid had gone to the first England v Aussie game and was giving -RL- great plaudits. Well done youngster. He couldn't have been over 8. He got a signed ball and an Aussie shirt. He was so proud. That's more publicity than the hierarchy have managed in years.

Remember a certain Julian Clary doing a slot about fev many years ago. Video shown in the club house but did not make the TV. Has the club still got a copy? might beworth showing as pre match entertainment at one of the "Friendlies"

I have seen a programme with Carl Wilde and wanting to get in the dressing rooms the players were really scared in case he succeeded
To be a ROVER is a privilege not to be taken lightly, with fans like ours, we will always be honoured.

text: Acai is a high potency antioxidant that helps increase vitality and combat free radicals. This superfood is grown along the Amazon River in northern parts of South America in a palm tree native peoples refer to as "the tree of life." This tree produces luscious purple berries full of anthocyanins and polyphenolic compounds. In fact, there are three and a half times more anthocyanins in acai berries than red wine when compared in matching volumes! Recently gaining popularity in fruit smoothies and other beverages, acai berries feature a nearly perfect amino acid complex, trace minerals and more free-radical-fighting power than blueberries, strawberries and cranberries. You can find acai supplements in a variety of forms— extracts, powders, liquids—to suit your needs and preferences.

Now I know I'm a newbie and just learning some things but pleeeease tell me yall knew about this!
We all know Urban Decay's Primer Potion, right (did you guess right?)? It is one of my HG and most beloved products. Even if I use a Paint Pot, Paint, concealer or even a Shadestick, I still start with UDPP. We all know that it is also a bit pricey and the shape of the bottle is just…..beyond frustrating. The wand can only go straight down into the tube. Never mind the sides. However, my friend showed me how we can get more product by cutting the tube in half. Now when she told and SHOWED me this I was thinking, "Ehhh….okay, a bit more would be nice." A "bit" is an understatement. Chopping your UDPP in half will give you about 2-3 more months worth of product. Don't believe me? Lemme show you!
What you'll need:
UDPP (of course)
A pretty big knife
A not so big knife
Something to put UDPP in. I was going to use an depotted MAC pot but duhhh, it has holes so I settled for a random empty jar thingie. Sample pigment jars would be perfect though.
Start by cutting a knife straight through your UDPP. It may take some time. Make sure you use a cutting board. Forgot to take a pic of this. Sorrryyy..
Pull apart your UDPP and get angry at how Urban Decay has been ripping us off.
Scoop what you can OUT and place in your new jar. Hmmm, ice cream.
But girl, you ain't done yet. Start slicing the base of the packaging too.
Scoop like hell and place everything in your new jar.
Can you believe this? Look how much of the product was still stuck inside of there. This took me all of 5 minutes to do. I say we all start emailing Urban Decay and suggest they find some new packaging for UDPP because this doesn't make sense. What do you think?
Random post, I know. But in the midst of packing, I got into a depotting mode and then UDPP scooping mode and decided to share with my blog fam. Have a fab weekend, yall!
Peace and fists to Urban Decay!
[thanks Ms. Riss. Get back on the blog updating thang, sis b/c I miss you!]
[EDIT – 4/20/2009] The people have spoken and Urban Decay has revamped the packaging. It now has an angled wand. Check it out HERE. Yay!

When Is the Right Time To Give?
Part 1 of the TED Radio Hour episode Giving It Away.
About Mark Bezos' TEDTalk
Volunteer firefighter Mark Bezos tells a story of an act of heroism that didn't go quite as expected — but that taught him a big lesson: Don't wait to be a hero. Give now.
About Mark Bezos
Mark Bezos works at Robin Hood, a poverty-fighting charity in New York City. Bezos is also the Assistant Captain of a volunteer fire company in Westchester County, New York, where he lives with his wife and four children.
It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. I'm Guy Raz and our first story today comes from a man named Mark Bezos. We caught up with him ...
MARK BEZOS: ... in Scarsdale, New York.
RAZ: Scarsdale. Isn't that where all the characters from Mad Men lived and then they would commute down to Manhattan?
BEZOS: That is correct. That is what many of us do here in Scarsdale, yes.
RAZ: You smoke cigarettes and sleep around?
BEZOS: (Laughing) I do not, but I am a fan of scotch.
RAZ: Oh I see, okay, got it.
BEZOS: Yes.
RAZ: Which is where the comparisons with Don Draper end because Mark ...
BEZOS: ... I'm standing at the firehouse.
RAZ: He's a firefighter.
BEZOS: Watching Engine 56 go by, as a matter of fact.
RAZ: Actually a volunteer firefighter and we called him up to hear a story he told on the TED stage about his very first fire. So tell me the story.
BEZOS: It was in the middle of the night. It was probably 3:30 in the morning and ...
BEZOS: ... the pager went off and I leapt out of bed and just started spinning around in circles because I wasn't quite sure what the noise was. My wife let me know that it was, in fact, the fire pager going off.
RAZ: Okay so the way it works in Scarsdale, which is the way it works in a lot of smaller towns, is that professional firefighters are always on duty and they respond first. So if you're a volunteer, like Mark, you get a call or a text or a page at home. So Mark rushes to the fire scene.
BEZOS: So we arrive on the scene. You put on the gear.
RAZ: And there're flames jumping out of the second story of the house.
BEZOS: It happened to be terrible weather. Rain was coming down horizontally. It was just a really bad night.
RAZ: And Mark sees the homeowner, she was standing with the fire captain, barefoot in the rain, watching her house burn.
BEZOS: And she was pretty excited when she was talking to the captain, and come to find out that her dog was in the house. And she was very concerned about the dog.
RAZ: So Mark rushes to the captain for his orders, but there was one other volunteer on the scene who had arrived just a few minutes before Mark.
BEZOS: The captain called him over and asked him to go inside and get the homeowner's dog.
RAZ: And you were right behind him and what did you think?
BEZOS: To be honest, I was jealous. You know, you do an awful lot of training and you have these visions of, you know, the opportunity to go in and do something heroic. Save an animal, save a dog, save somebody who's in a burning building and so I thought this was my moment. I'm going to end up coming back home and my kids are going to look at me like I'm 10 feet tall and bulletproof.
RAZ: Now maybe you can see where this is all going. This is not what happened.
BEZOS: Yes.
RAZ: What happened instead was the captain called Mark over.
BEZOS: And he asked me to go into the house to get the homeowner a pair of shoes, which was not exactly what I was hoping for.
RAZ: So Mark goes inside the house, he grabs the pair of shoes - they weren't in a particularly dangerous part of the house - and he brings them back outside to the homeowner.
BEZOS: I just handed them to her. I said, you might be more comfortable if you put these on or something like that. But, you know, she was very focused on the dog at that moment, so I don't know that our eyes ever met over the handoff of the shoes.
RAZ: And then Mark headed home feeling kind of disappointed.
BEZOS: I went from hero to zero at that point, at least... (Laughing)
RAZ: But a few weeks later the fire department received a letter in the mail.
BEZOS: The letter was, you know, it was very effusive, thanking everybody for, you know, all of the effort in saving her house and her property and obviously the dog. And then she noted that someone had even taken the time to go into the building and get her a pair of shoes, which had touched her greatly.
RAZ: What did you think when you read that?
BEZOS: It's one of those things that it's so easy to dismiss the opportunity to do something good because you're hoping to do something great. There are opportunities, dozens of times a day, to make a difference in somebody's life as small as, you know, returning a smile or offering the first smile. I mean, there's just so many opportunities. That's, I think, the big lesson for me.
RAZ: Here's how Mark ended his TED Talk.
BEZOS: So as I look around this room at people who either have achieved or are on their way to achieving remarkable levels of success I would offer this reminder, don't wait. Don't wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody's life. If you have something to give, give it now. Serve food to a soup kitchen. Clean up a neighborhood park, be a mentor. Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody's life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect one. So get in the game. Save the shoes. Thank you.
RAZ: Mark Bezos, he works for Robin Hood. It's an anti-poverty group in New York. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (April 14, 2011)Five years worth of research aimed at improving the safety and quality characteristics of seafood is what distinguishes Dr. Salina Parveen, a member of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES).
Parveen, as associate professor in the UMES Food Science and Technology Ph.D. Program and in her role as principal investigator, has been awarded more than $1.2 million in external funding through the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Capacity Building Grants Program and the National Research Initiative to carry out her purposes. She has worked in tandem with Dr. Jurgen Schwarz, UMES; Tom Rippen, Maryland Sea Grant; Dr. Mark Tamplin, University of Tasmania, Australia; Dr. Angelo DePaola and John Bowers, Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Dr. Martin Wiedman, Cornell University; Drs. Michael Jahncke and Dan Kauffman, Virginia Tech; Kathy Brohawn, Maryland Department of Environment; and Dr. John Luchansky, USDA-ARS (Agriculture Research Service). Her study involving the prevalence, growth, survival and control of Listeria momocytogenes in blue crab meat have yielded results indicating that raw live crabs and associated surfaces are potentially important sources of L. monocytogenes contamination in blue crab meat and in crab processing plants.
Findings have been shared with the Chesapeake Bay Seafood Industries Association and the Maryland Department of Agriculture Seafood Marketing Program as part of a Maryland crabmeat industry continuous improvement program that provides biweekly reports customized for each crab processing plant. During the study, participating plants were assisted with Listeria control strategies, including sanitation protocols and cross-contamination prevention.
The group also investigated the effect of storage temperature on the growth and survival of human foodborne pathogenic Vibrio bacteria in oysters. The results of the project fills data gaps in international risk assessment for these pathogens in oysters and will be used by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the FDA and organizations in other countries to develop more accurate risk management practices. Moreover, the FDA is planning to use the research findings in designing and implementing a Vibrio control plan.
Recently, Parveen's research group received funding to evaluate two low-cost methods for reducing the contamination of post-harvest oysters with Vibrio. Drs. Parveen and Paulinus Chigbu, director of the UMES Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center, are working with Delaware State University, the University of Delaware and the USDA-ARS to develop a multi-institutional research proposal on seafood safety for submission to the USDA. Seafood safety researchers at UMES have trained nine international scientists, one postdoctoral associate, one laboratory technician, 13 undergraduates and 11 graduates (four M.S. and seven Ph.D.) and has generated more than 35 invited presentations, peer reviewed journal articles and abstracts.
For more information about seafood research at UMES, call 410-621-3850.

- Abstract
- Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM), selected area diffraction (SAD) and nano-beam diffraction (NBD) techniques were used to investigate the surface microstructure of 316 stainless steel, implanted with high doses of nitrogen ions at 150, 250, 350, 450 and 520 degrees Celsius using plasma immersion ion implantation, It has been found that the treatment temperature has a strong influence on the evolution of the microstructure. An amorphous layer of about 1 μm thick with a heavily stressed substrate underneath was observed on the 150 degrees Celsius implanted sample. Both the 250 and 350 degrees Celsius implanted samples showed a thin nanocrystalline sublayer at the outermost surface and an amorphous sublayer between the nanocrystalline sublayer and the substrate. A thick amorphous layer up to 3 μm thick was formed on the 450 degrees Celsius implanted sample whereas at 520 degrees Celsius, cellular precipitation of CrN and α-ferrite dominated the system. It is suggested that a solid state chemical reaction and the poor mobility of the reactant atoms are the key factors for the solid state amorphisation by nitrogen ion implantation into austenite.

A Republican lawmaker who sponsored a sweeping landlord-tenant bill would himself benefit from one of its provisions.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report said the bill's lead sponsor is state Rep. Duey Stroebel of Saukville.
The bill's provision would eliminate the landlord registration program. That's a program that requires all commercial property owners to record ownership information with the city Department of Neighborhood Services.
Stroebel owns a building on Milwaukee's east side that's valued at $635,500.
Art Dahlberg is the commissioner of the Department of Neighborhood Services. He said the program helps landlords manage property risk, and it also gives emergency officials a quick way to reach landlords.
Stroebel declined to be interviewed by the Journal Sentinel but said in a statement there's no conflict of interest.

Gianfranco Zola has credited an "inspirational" visit to Barcelona for his success with Watford this season.
The Hertfordshire outfit will take on Crystal Palace in Monday's Championship play-off final at Wembley and Zola moved to thank coaches including Pep Guardiola and Zdenek Zeman for helping him get back into the game after being sacked by West Ham in 2010, which the Italian admitted was tough to take.
"It was hard for me personally because I always live the game very intensively, I always take my work home," Zola said.
"That's why I took time off. It was time to go back to basics, to go back to the books and do things that could help me with my managerial career.
"I watched a few teams that I was interested in. The first team was a Serie B team Pescara where Zeman was the manager. I like him and his style of football. I spent time with him and it was very good.
"Then I went to see Barcelona – another pretty good team! It was very inspirational.
"And it wasn't inspirational because of all the stuff they do on the pitch, it was also the way they conducted themselves, the players and managers. That impressed me very much. Very remarkable."
"I didn't have the experience I have now. I should have put my ideas more across rather than going on a conservative way. I should have been more positive.
"But I believe that experience was very important because only through tough moments do you get better."
Watford's policy of loaning numerous players from Granada and Udinese (all three clubs are owned by the Pozzo family) has raised eyebrows in the Championship this term, but Zola hailed a "perfect" environment under the Italians.
"I have a (promotion) bonus in my contract," he smiled. "It is incredibly high because they didn't believe me! But in life you have to gamble.
"In terms of a learning process for me as a manager I feel Watford is perfect.
"I certainly didn't know what the managers in my league knew. And at the same time I didn't know my team – many players came at the last moment. But I really liked the challenge."

Shoes' new use has Crocs doggone proud
- published_in
- Today's News
A certified prosthetic specialist at Westcoast Brace & Limb in Tampa, Florida, made braces for the paralyzed back legs of Spencer, a 2-year-old English bulldog. The Crocs shoes were put on the bottoms of the braces to help stabilize the dog's gait.
The story was covered by Tampa ABC affiliate WFTS-TV Channel 28, and the video of the report about Spencer has created a minor sensation on the Internet as well as at Crocs, said Shelley Weibel, a spokeswoman at the Niwot-based company. See it at http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_tampa/paralyzed-dog-tries-new-prosthetics-with-blind-pig-brother
"We told them if they need more shoes, just to let us know if we can ever be of assistance," Weibel said. "(We want to) help out on these rare occasions when our four-legged friends are in need."
Crocs does a variety of charity programs and has given away more than 3 million pairs of shoes through its "Crocs Cares" program, Weibel said. The company also participates in community volunteer work.
Spencer's paralyzed back legs were wrapped with a fiberglass wrap, and the braces were made the traditional way, according to the news story copyrighted by Scripps Media Inc. posted online on Monday, Nov. 19.
It appears Spencer received a spinal cord injury because someone dropped him or stomped on him as a puppy, according to the news story.

From WorldWideWords, Quinion:
Having straight hair.
Don't expect to find this word turning up in your newspaper any
day soon, as it is now rare to the point of complete disuse. It
comes from Greek leios, smooth, plus trikhos, hair.
That it exists at all is due to the French naturalist Baron Jean
Baptise Genevieve Marcellin Bory de Saint-Vincent, who
travelled the world at the beginning of the nineteenth century
studying plants. He also made a stab at classifying peoples into
races. He is now hardly remembered, but in a once-influential
book Homo: essai zoologique sur le genre humain, published in
Paris in 1827, he attempted to classify humans with straight and
wavy hair into the Leiotrichi and those with woolly or tufted hair
into the Ulotrichi, with many sub-groups below these headings.
His classification was seriously studied for several decades, being
quoted-for example-by both Thomas Henry Huxley and
Charles Darwin. The adjective ulotrichous (Greek oulos, woolly),
from his other main category is also rare, but the related
lissotrichous, smooth-haired, is still to be found in the vocabulary
of some specialists, especially zoologists; this comes from Greek
lissos, which also means smooth. A third category is that of
wavy-haired or cymotrichous people (from Greek kuma, wave).
These last three adjectives have been used to classify types of
hair, for example in forensic identification.

rying Oils
Many vegetable oils will dry to form an adhesive film, either by
themselves or when mixed with other ingredients. These oils do not
"dry" as we know it by evaporation. They dry by oxidation or
absorption of oxygen to form a layer of linoxyn. Other complex chemical
changes take place in this process but the oxidation process is the
most important.

What you stopped short and didn't include linolium!
it uses linoxyn processes and results in a sterile floor covering.
nowdays the word linolium is almost a synanym for "vinyl sheet floor covering" and is considered ho-hum, but in reality, linolium was a premieer floor covering when it first came out.. it is made from cork, and oxiodized oil covering.. the chemical changes make the floor covering antibacterial-- so it was considered excellent for hospitals, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.._________________________

The cause of a basement fire at a house in the West Central area of Spokane is under investigation.
Fire crews were called to the house in the 1900 block of West Augusta around 8:50 a.m. on reports of heavy smoke coming from the single-story home.
Firefighters first cut holes in the roof to vent the smoke and moved inside the find the source was coming from the basement. At one point, firefighters had to evacuate the house due to untenable fire conditions.
The fire was eventually contained to the basement and first floor and extinguished within an hour.
Two people who lived inside the home made it out unhurt, but their two dogs, that were in the basement, died.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. The Red Cross is helping the two residents find shelter.

The Queen Emma Land Company, Taubman Centers, Inc. and CoastWood Capital Group, LLC, announced Friday that they are officially moving forward with their plans to revitalize the International Market Place.
"Revitalizing the International Market Place will ensure that this destination can continue to be a gathering place for island residents and visitors from around the world," said Gov. Neil Abercrombie. "The benefits of this project are deep-rooted and far-reaching, creating jobs for local people and bolstering our tourism industry, while providing The Queen's Medical Center with the revenue to provide life-saving services to residents and visitors across Hawai'i."
"After years of planning, we are very excited to finally move forward with the revitalization of the International Market Place," said Eric Martinson, president of the Queen Emma Land Company. "This comes at a critical time for us, as healthcare reform is affecting hospital budgets nationwide. When it opens, the new International Market Place will provide a renewed and sustainable income source for The Queen's Medical Center allowing us to continue caring for Hawai'i's people for years to come."
The new project, currently scheduled to open in spring 2016, will feature 360,000-square-feet of retail, dining and entertainment.
Located on six acres in the heart of Waikiki, the center will include approximately 60 stores, many of which are anticipated to be unique to Waikiki, a three-level Saks Fifth Avenue and seven restaurants on a third-level grand lanai. A parking garage with approximately 750 parking spaces will provide convenient access for visitors and kama'aina alike.
The well-known iconic banyan tree on the property will be preserved and incorporated into the design. Taubman has engaged a registered arborist, who has been monitoring and attending to the trees in the International Market Place for more than 40 years, to preserve and enhance the health of the tree. A plan is in pla
ce to protect the tree during the construction phase, and ensure its well-being on a long-term basis.
Developers say the project will create approximately 1,000 construction jobs and 2,500 permanent jobs.
"With its unique character and central location in the heart of Waikiki, the International Market Place has the potential to reemerge as an iconic destination for visitors from across the globe for generations to come," said Mayor Kirk Caldwell. "Queen Emma Land Company selected Taubman Centers, known for more than 60 years as a leader in creating extraordinary retail environments, to help carry forth Queen Emma's legacy, and create a vision for revitalization that will further Queen's mission as well as provide a significant boost to Honolulu's tourism industry and create quality local jobs in the process."

"The International Market Place redevelopment will help tremendously to address the changing needs of Hawai'i's visitors, while continuing to enhance Waikiki's position as a premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination," said Rick Egged, president of the Waikiki Improvement Association. "By breathing new life into the very piko -- or center -- of Waikiki, the project will help Hawai'i maintain its highly desirable position in the global tourism industry as well as invite Kama'aina to revisit this special place."

Unknown Cargo
Media Artist Timo Wright and Art Educator Laura Porola, both young creative Finns, sat down in Helsinki and came up with an idea of having an exhibition without revealing the artists behind the art.
Why create expectations? Why tell half of the story before a visitor has even entered the space? Why unlock the mysteries beforehand? Why narrow down the amount and type of visitors? These questions Timo and Laura asked themselves.
Why not create an empty space, where artists and citizens could meet each other without knowing anything about each other? Like a blind date? As an answer to all these questions, exhibition called Unknown Cargo was born.
Timo and Laura set a clear objective for Unknown Cargo. To bring lots of new people from all fields of life to experience art. Openness. Free Entry. No fear of being exposed to art gibberish. No sham. No image. Simply art.
To fulfill these features, Timo and Laura searched for a central area where to set up Unknown Cargo. So that anyone could just pop in. Finally Unknown Cargo found its home in the historical part of central Helsinki, in the urban shopping center Kluuvi.
Together with Absolut Timo and Laura have now set their exhibition to the ground level where a big window facing the most famous shopping street, Aleksanterinkatu, welcomes anyone to enjoy art. Accompanied with cocktails.
Absolut has a long legacy in forging close ties with art and artists. Who will be the next big thing? In the end it is these urban citizens in the street, who decide. Like in graffiti on a wall, the charm lies in the fact that one knows nothing about the artist. Who, why, when, how, what? These questions will be asked in Unknown Cargo - until the artists are revealed. But only in the end.

NEW HOPE, PA – The 18 vehicular bridges owned and operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission between Pennsylvania and New Jersey remained open to

The Commission, however, recommended that motorists limit themselves to essential travel only due to anticipated heavy rain and high winds throughout the afternoon into the
Major Commission vehicular bridges include the I-78 Toll Bridge, the Delaware Water Gap (I-80) Toll Bridge, the Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1) Toll Bridge, and the Easton-

Last week, I wrote an article about stupid things people do to seem smart, and one of those things was making Franz Kafka references. Anyway, that got me thinking about Kafka, and then I realized that his short story "A Hunger Artist" would make a perfect introduction to my new column.
Yeah, I know. I'm hard to love.
It's OK when I do it, right, guys?
"A Hunger Artist" tells the story of a celebrated performer with a unique talent: He starves himself. Professionally. People come from all around to see him starve until his starving talents fall out of fashion. But even when he's reduced to a forgotten freak show attraction, he continues to practice his craft. Why? Is he a purist dedicated to his art? No. It's because starving is all he knows how to do. It comes to him naturally and he can't do anything else.
Kafka takes all the respect you had for this artist's talent and determination and obliterates it by letting you know that the hunger artist is not a master craftsman. He is not even in control of his art. He was just built in a certain way that allowed him to do something singularly impressive. I have a term for people like that: I call them accidental geniuses. People whose artistic accomplishments can be undeniably impressive, but who deserve less credit because they are not the masters of their design. They are just putting forth a certain sound with the instrument they have been given without any mastery or understanding of how it got there.
Random House
I see you skipping the introduction again. You're totally not gonna get the article if you do that.
3 Tim Burton
I take no pleasure in making 14-year-old girls in torn fishnets cry, but Tim Burton belongs on this list, and I can say that as a fan of several of his projects -- or at least portions of many of his projects. Timothy Augustus Hiberias Ignatius Burton was born in 1958 in a cave just outside of Salem, Massachusetts, inhabited by a coven of witches. Actually, none of that is true, although it's likely that Tim claimed as much in a misguided attempt to impress girls when in he was in high school.
"I can also melt Dungeons & Dragons figurines with my mind."
Much has been made of Tim's unusual childhood. Apparently his parents bricked up the windows to his room, so yeah, it's easy to say that he was destined to see things somewhat bleakly. And Tim certainly has a unique voice and vision. It is a good voice. It is a good vision. One that would have made him perfectly suited to direct commercials or design sets. But as an artist who has the capacity to tell a well-constructed, evenly paced story? The closest he's come to that has been on the backs of others.
I would argue that his most successful movie from start to finish would be The Nightmare Before Christmas. As most of you know (from cross-referencing both the table of contents and the index), I wrote about that movie in Cracked's book You Might Be a Zombie. Although Burton produced the movie and it was based on his short story, Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach, Coraline) directed the movie. Michael McDowell and Caroline Thompson wrote the script. And most importantly, Danny Elfman wrote some of the best songs of his career. All of the emotional content for the love story comes from his lyrics. Without that, the whole movie would fall flat. That component of the story isn't in Burton's book, and the dialogue that precedes the song ("Oh, how I hope my premonition is wrong") ain't cutting it, either.
Beetlejuice is a hodgepodge of great moments most memorable for Michael Keaton's frenetic performance. Jack Nicholson's Joker is the best thing in either of Burton's Batman movies, although, again, Burton deserves credit for the look of the films. How about Edward Scissorhands? Even if you love the movie, you probably think first of the striking visuals or Depp's vulnerability, but the actual story? The only other thing that comes to mind is Anthony Michael Hall doping on 'roids and Winona Ryder losing all sex appeal as a blonde. And that brings us to Dark Shadows, which might be one of the worst movies ever made, bar none.
"This is the film I made to make Pirates of the Caribbean 4 look less awful."
It is purportedly a comedy, but it's made by a man who not only doesn't understand humor, but is clueless about how human emotions work. We're told that Barnabas Collins is a man who was transformed into a vampire by a love-scorned witch. (Burton is worthy of scorn for greenlighting that conceit alone.) But even though Collins is an unwilling vampire, his remorse is miniscule at best. He's no Interview With the Vampire Brad Pitt, ravaged by guilt and living off animals. He's clearly OK with eating people.
So it's a dark comedy, right? The humor can come from him attacking people who really deserve it. That way the audience can get some dark wish fulfillment like we do in Dexter. Nope. Collins attacks all sorts of people, even hippies. (Trust me, I'd love to take solace from the murder of hippies, but the ones in this movie are actually nice, kind people, so he blows that, too.) Any director not raised in a Marquis de Sade playpen would have recognized the problem. Not Burton, who has the capacity to paint a beautiful black sky like few others, but has no control over what planets appear or how they orbit.
2 George Lucas
You had to know this one was coming. So much electronic ink has been spilled castigating George Lucas that I don't feel the need to pile on, but no list of accidental geniuses would be complete without him, so let's get to it.
The world is a better place because George Lucas is in it. Quite simply, Star Wars is the most important movie of my life, and George Lucas deserves the lion's share of credit. Star Wars provided all my childhood frames of reference and role models. To this day, I still ask WWHSD? (What Would Han Solo Do?) when presented with decisions. And that's why I laser blast every problem in the face before it has a chance to hurt me.
Cracked editor-in-chief Jack O'Brien, moments after my last performance evaluation. (I may have overreacted slightly on that one.)
Lucas understood the importance of myths in our culture. Science fiction/fantasy works best when it's tied into the strongest tropes, like dark knights, cowboys, Nazis, wizards ... and they're all there in Episode IV. And they all work. And when you bring in a quality writer like Lawrence Kasdan and a director like Irvin Kershner (Episode V), it only gets better.
But when the iconic images fall away, a director still needs to be grounded in the rules of storytelling, and almost all of Lucas' decisions after 1982 confirm a sneaking suspicion that he's lacking in that area. There's simply too many misfires. Even Spielberg half-heartedly sold him out for the clusterfuck of confused storytelling in Indiana Jones IV. And rather than beat up on Lucas for every poor decision he ever made, I'll just leave you with this clip, which I think speaks for itself at indicating that while Lucas has the pieces of greatness within him, he's not the master of their assembly.

This beer is made to travel. Pack your lunch and choose your own adventure.
Peanut Butter & Jelly with salt and pepper kettle chips. The grains in the bread compliment the fruity jelly, just like Shift's bready malts work so well with the fruity hops.
Consider contrasting elements. Pastrami on Rye with a healthy dose of whole grain mustard and Malt Vinegar chips. The sharp, pungent mustard and tart, salty chips will speak directly to Shift's mild, sweet and smooth craft lager notes.
The Dagwood Muffalatta with creole or other spicy chips. This Cajun dream team has everything and a bag of chips. With so much going on Shift's understated character is the perfect libation.
Tuna Salad (celery, mayo and sweet onion) on fresh wheat with sour cream and onion chips. Sour cream and onion chips punch up this tuna sammie the same way handfuls of specialty malts and aroma hops punch up Shift Pale Lager.
Grilled Cheese (creamy Havarti, gooey Mozzarella or Fontina for bite) and original Doritos. It's not a cheese sandwich -- it's a GRILLED cheese sandwich. That finger-licking buttery toast speaks to the Munich malts, while the carbonation cleanses your palate.

What have we learned?February 09,2013
What have we learned?
I never cease to be amazed by the short memory of the American people. On Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. It was the beginning of the end for the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union. Most of us at the time thought it was finally the end for the failed political and economic system of communism. Some 291 million people were living behind the Iron Curtain under brutal one-party communist rule.
For decades these Soviet citizens had been deprived of the same rights that we as Americans take for granted. As a Soviet citizen you could expect no freedom of speech, no freedom to protest, no religious freedom, no freedom of movement, no right to a trial and no economic freedom. No one had to worry about gun rights either. You didnt have any. The individual unalienable rights that are guaranteed to us in the U.S. Constitution did not exist.
The only rights that mattered were the ones determined by the state for the collective good of society. Any form of dissent was met with punishment up to and including death. Under communist rule millions of people were put to death. I remember watching the footage of the wall being dismantled with sledge hammers and the pure joy of those participating. There was reason to celebrate. These people were being set free from that failed communist system.
Here we are, only 25 years have passed since this epic and liberating event, and my fellow citizens, through the ballot box, are on their way to embracing the same collectivist ideas that the people of the Soviet Union were so desperate to escape.

Barre officials make the case for more police
BARRE — Chief Tim Bombardier told city councilors this week that in the "late 1970s" the local police force was as big as is contemplated in the budget that will be on the ballot in March.
"We had 20 (officers) at one point," Bombardier said. "We had more than we have now."
Not according to a cursory review of the city's annual reports for the time period Bombardier identified in response to a question posed by Councilor Michael Boutin.
Boutin asked the question in an apparent attempt to make a connection between the more robust police force that he and three other members of the council successfully fought for during recently concluded budget deliberations and the good "old days" in Barre.
The only problem is that while Bombardier supplied the answer Boutin was looking for there isn't much in the way of evidence to suggest that he was actually right.
Not in 1975, or 1976, or 1977, or 1978, or 1979, or 1980, or 1981 …
Copies of the annual reports for those years list the names and ranks of those on the police department's roster and, even if you added in a fluctuating number of "clerk-dispatchers," there were never 20 of them. Not unless you count the cadre of crossing guards that were needed before the city abandoned its network of neighborhood schools.
Though the structure of the department changed on an almost annual basis in those years, its size was fairly constant. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1975 there were 15 officers – a figure that included then-Chief Floyd Chandler.
The department increased from 15 to 16 members three years later when Paul Dranbauer took over as chief, slipped to 14 during the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1979, and then bumped back up to 16 in 1980.
By that time now-Deputy Chief Andrew Marceau was on the roster and when contacted for clarification on Wednesday
Bombardier said Marceau was the source of the anecdotal information he relayed to the council moments after one of its members launched a spirited defense of a plan to hire two more police officers in Barre.
Bristling over what he said was some of the blowback from the council's split decision to include funding for two additional police officers in the budget that voters will be asked to approve next month, Councilor Charlie Dindo described a city that desperately needs a little more law enforcement.
"Some people have told me I have overreacted," he said, referring to his role in the council's, 4-3, vote to override the recommendation of its recently appointed budget committee and include funding for two new officers in the proposed budget.
"When you see a new … SUV with tinted glass from Massachusetts drive up in your neighborhood, the tinted windows go down and there's a driver and a passenger with a mask on and there are drugs and guns involved I'm not overreacting," Dindo said, suggesting the problem extends well beyond his neighborhood.
"It's happening all over Barre," he said, ticking down a lengthy list of streets and occasionally sprinkling in references to recent

Confused about the best sunscreen to use? Wondering whether sunscreen can be harmful? Lawrence Gibson, M.D., a dermatologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., offers his guidance.
What's the best way to sort through information about sunscreens?
Start by remembering the bigger picture when it comes to sun safety and what you can do to protect yourself. For example:
- Avoid the sun during peak hours. Generally, this is between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. -- regardless of season. These are prime hours for exposure to skin-damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, even on overcast days.
- Wear protective clothing. This includes pants, shirts with long sleeves and sunglasses. Top it off with a wide-brimmed hat. Also, consider investing in sun-protective clothing or using an umbrella for shade.
- Use sunscreen. Apply sunscreen generously and reapply regularly.
Is there any truth to the claim that sunscreen use encourages excessive sun exposure and, as a result, increases the risk of skin cancer?
Most experts strongly disagree with this claim. Research also hasn't shown a link between sunscreen use and an increase in the risk of skin cancer. On the other hand, research has shown that use of sunscreen can reduce the risk of melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer.
What does a broad-spectrum sunscreen do?
There are two types of UV light that can harm your skin -- UVA and UVB. A broad-spectrum, or full-spectrum, sunscreen is designed to protect you from both.
UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkling and age spots. UVB rays can burn your skin. Too much exposure to UVA or UVB rays can cause skin cancer. The best sunscreen offers protection from all UV light.
Does the best sunscreen also have the highest SPF?
SPF stands for sun protection factor, which is a measure of how well the sunscreen deflects UVB rays. Manufacturers calculate SPF based on how long it takes to sunburn skin that's been treated with the sunscreen as compared with skin that hasn't been treated with sunscreen.
Theoretically, the best sunscreen has the highest SPF number. It's not that simple, however. When applied correctly, a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 will provide slightly more protection from UVB rays than does a sunscreen with an SPF of 15. But the SPF 30 product isn't twice as protective as the SPF 15 product. Sunscreens with SPFs greater than 50 provide only a small increase in UVB protection.
Also, keep in mind that sunscreen is often not applied thoroughly or thickly enough, and it might be washed off during swimming or sweating. As a result, even the best sunscreen might be less effective than the SPF number on the bottle would lead you to believe.
Rather than looking at a sunscreen's SPF, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that will protect you from UVA and UVB rays.
What do I need to know about sunscreen ingredients?
Sunscreens contain filters that reflect or absorb UV rays. There are two main types of sunscreens:
- Organic. Also called chemical sunscreens, organic sunscreens absorb UV radiation and convert it to a small amount of heat. This group of active ingredients is the most widely used in sunscreens. Organic sunscreens might contain avobenzone, cinoxate, ecamsule, menthyl anthranilate, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone or sulisobenzone.
- Inorganic. Also called physical sunscreens, inorganic sunscreens reflect and scatter UV radiation. Inorganic sunscreens might contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Most broad-spectrum sunscreens use both ingredients to better block UVA and UVB rays.
Sunscreens also might contain:
- Vitamins. Vitamin E can protect against UV-induced DNA damage. Vitamin C helps protect skin from sunburn.
- Insect repellent. Keep in mind that it's typically recommended that insect repellent be applied no more often than every six hours. When using this type of combination product, reapply a sunscreen without insect repellent after two hours outdoors or after swimming or heavily sweating.
Some sunscreens also contain the antioxidant retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A or retinol. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals — unstable oxygen molecules that break down skin cells and cause wrinkles. While concerns have been raised about sunscreens containing retinyl palmitate, research currently suggests it's safe. However, recommendations regarding safety for use during pregnancy aren't available. If you're concerned, consider avoiding sunscreens containing this ingredient during pregnancy.
Are some brands of sunscreen better than others?
Brand matters less than how you use the product. In general, look for water-resistant, broad-spectrum coverage with an SPF of at least 15. Check the sunscreen's expiration date, and follow the directions on the label.
Also, keep in mind that labeling guidelines for sunscreen in the United States are changing. Under new Food and Drug Administration guidelines:
- Only sunscreens that offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays can advertise broad-spectrum coverage on the label.
- Only broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or higher can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer or prevent early skin aging.
- Any claims about reducing the risk of skin cancer or early skin aging must be accompanied by other sun protection measures, such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding midday sun.
- Sunscreens with an SPF of at least 2 but less than 15 can advertise protection from sunburn only -- not protection from skin cancer or early skin aging.
- Sunscreens can't be advertised as sweatproof or waterproof.
- Sunscreens that pass a water resistance test can be labeled "water resistant" for either 40 or 80 minutes, as long as they also include instructions to reapply after 40 or 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying and at least every two hours.

Brumby said investigators had discovered a suicide note written by Dennis Reitz, 77, who was found dead along with his wife Ida Reitz, 77, Thursday at their home.
"The investigation is basicaly closed because we found a note," Brumby said. "Unless something comes back with the autopsy, the preliminary report points to a murder-suicide."

OCLC's regional councils meet to build community and shape the path of the cooperative
OCLC's governance structure is made up of three regional councils: The Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). These councils meet annually to discuss issues of common interest and to provide OCLC staff and management with valuable input about the state of the libraries and other cultural heritage institutions in their regions. The agendas are planned jointly by the executive committees of the regions and OCLC staff. Here are reports on the three most recent meetings.
Asia Pacific Regional Council
Andrew Wells, Chair
In October 2011, 159 delegates gathered in Taipei, Taiwan, for the Third Membership Conference of OCLC's Asia Pacific Regional Council. The National Taiwan University Library hosted the two-day conference. The high level of participation was gratifying—the first conference in Beijing attracted 100 delegates, followed by the second in Tokyo with 110.
Delegates came from Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. This reflects the great diversity of this region of the world, as well as the large distances members traveled to attend the conference. Our conference program featured national presentations covering a wide range of topics, including digital library services, collaboration, social networking and consortia. One of our keynote speakers was Dean B. Krafft, Chief Technology Strategist, Cornell University Library, who contributed insights into research data management. An open forum gave delegates the opportunity to provide input to and ask questions of OCLC leaders.
"This event helps build a community despite the challenges of distance and diversity."
Andrew Wells, Chair
Asia Pacific Executive Committee
One theme that emerged in the question-answer session was contributions to WorldCat: How can the collections of libraries in remote areas get into WorldCat. These libraries want to share their heritage with the rest of the world, and Web technologies are making WorldCat contribution easier every year. While these are early days for the Asia Pacific Regional Council, this event helps build a community despite the challenges of distance and diversity. I am happy to say that the OCLC cooperative is growing its footprint in this region.
Americas Regional Council
Bill Maes, Chair
The Americas Regional Council (ARC) met at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, January 20, 2012. About 200 people attended in person, with another 205 online attendees.
My presentation invited people to get more involved with the cooperative. I talked about ARC's new Ambassador Program, where members become official envoys of the cooperative to reach out to librarians locally at regional associations, conferences and informal groups. This will help OCLC identify new issues and solutions at the local level with local and global contexts. I also talked about what a powerful force we could become through the OCLC WorldShare strategy, which can bring the library community together and provide a platform—the way that Google provides a platform—under which and with which we can operate locally and globally.
Our keynote speaker, Sarah Lacy, enthralled the audience with stories of how technology—relatively simple technology by Western standards—had transformed lives and futures in countries with developing economies. Sarah is founder of the new technology site Pando Daily and author of Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good and Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky: How the Top 1% of Entrepreneurs Profit from Global Chaos.
After Sarah's remarks, we discussed a recent OCLC membership survey, which indicated we have a lot in common. Libraries across all regions and all library types today face some universal challenges: funding, relevance in a digital world and providing access to e-content. We also discussed follow-up activities to last year's report of the Cost Sharing Models Task Force, especially an ongoing review of the credits and incentives program, which has been in place at OCLC for nearly three decades. Following the meeting, we enjoyed a brief reception where we continued our conversations and discussions with fellow members.
The presentations and the accompanying PowerPoint slides are available on the OCLC Americas Regional Council website.
Europe, the Middle East and Africa Regional Council
Robin Green, Chair
Birmingham's new £193 million library, a centerpiece of civic place-making due to open in 2013, was the subject of the keynote at this year's EMEA Regional Council meeting in Birmingham, U.K., February 28–29, 2012. The importance that Birmingham attaches to its new library was underlined by the media attention the meeting received, and many of the 250 delegates from 22 countries were pleased to see the event featured on BBC TV breakfast news.
The confidence of Brian Gambles, Birmingham's Library Director, and architect Francine Houben, as they laid out their shared vision, set an exuberant tone with lots of interaction for the two-day meeting.
More than 460 tweets from attendees summarizing the sessions were posted. Two of the tweets, "The Library is about place-making, inclusivity, celebrating creativity and innovation, the Library Experience" and "Libraries need to move from transactional model based on books as products, to transformational service which changes lives," picked up on the theme of a new blend of library.
RLUK Unique and Distinctive Collections Project Manager Alison Cullingford's steadfast belief in the continuing relevance of special collections was impressive, and was described in one tweet as "so much enthusiasm, infectious."
David White, from the University of Oxford, argued that libraries remain relevant by understanding user behavior. Francine Houben told the audience that she spent time observing the city and its people before designing the Birmingham Library.
By the end of the event, delegates were energized after spending time with fellow professionals who, despite today's challenges, continue to promote the transformational power of libraries. The presentations and the accompanying PowerPoint slides are available on the OCLC EMEA Regional Council website.

Mexico City – Mexican army soldiers detained eight purported members of the Gulf drug cartel during an operation in the small northeastern town of China, the Defense Secretariat said.
The troops taking part in the ground recon operation in Nuevo Leon state seized four rifles, a handgun, three hand grenades, 881 rounds of ammunition of different calibers, 34 ammunition clips for different weapons, a kilo of white powder (apparently cocaine), two vehicles and tactical and communications gear from the suspects, the secretariat said Thursday in a statement.
The detainees may be linked to the massacre of 49 people whose mutilated bodies were found on May 13 in Cadereyta, a city outside the Nuevo Leon state capital of Monterrey, local media cited officials as saying.
The Mexican government blames the massacre on a multi-state turf war pitting an alliance of the Gulf and Sinaloa cartels against the rival Los Zetas mob.
Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire said recently the massacre in Cadereyta could be related to other multiple homicides in previous weeks in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, the northwestern state of Sinaloa and the western state of Jalisco.
More than 50,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence since President Felipe Calderon took office five-and-a-half years ago and militarized the struggle against the country's numerous, well-funded drug cartels.

Thanks for making the thread, good points made. Magic have only scored something like 77.5 PPG in the last 3 games. I'd like to see us play suffocating D the whole game and keep them under the 75 mark. Will actually be really telling to see how we play tonight. Seemingly plenty of room to slack off and I want to see how our vets are keeping people in place for such a situation.
Hoping for a great win to add to our record and a good boost for our stat lines

Almost There
We played the Rockies on Tuesday and it was an interesting game. Very interesting.
First off, I still can't stand it when we play the Rockies. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that half the guys are still on the team that was in that Game 163. And for some reason, I don't think I'll ever be able to forget that game. So it's weird to be playing them.
Second of all, Kevin Correia wasn't the sharpest. He gave up a two-run homer to Carlos Gonzalez in the bottom of the third. Then we got a run in the top of the fourth. But then K-Cor gave up another homer to Chris Iannetta. Then we got a run in the top of the fifth. But then Kevin gave up yet another home run, this time to Troy Tulowitzki. Ugh. By then, the score was 4-2 Rockies. Not good.
But then we found out bats, finally, in the top of the sixth. It was great. Cheadley had a two-run single, Nick Hundley hit a two-run bomb, and Aaron Cunningham hit a triple. Anwyays, we scored five runs to take a 7-4 lead.
Edward Mujica gave up a couple of runs, but the rest of the bullpen was great. We stole three bases. We got fourteen hits. And we won 9-6. It was a goooood game. Great to comeback after that crazy loss on Monday.
Some strange things went on, though. There was a play where Everth Cabrera got caught in a rundown. He was heading for second, the pitcher threw a pitchout, and Everth had to do the old running-back-and-forth-between-first-and-second-while-the-ball-is-being-thrown-over-your-head-back-and-forth game. Well, he finally got caught, but apparently he bumped into Troy Tulowitzki a bit and they exchanged some words and things got a little hot. Thankfully, nothing came out of it. It was just a little werid.
Yesterday we played another great game. It was against the Mariners at night. Chris Young started, and he had a great outing. Six innings, three hits, one run, three walks, five strikeouts…yeah, I think he's ready to go. Wonderful effort by CY last night.
Seattle got their run in the top of the fourth, but the Padres were held scoreless for a very long time (we didn't get anything until the seventh inning!!). We got out first run, the tying run of the game, on Yorvit Torrealba's single to drive in Will Venable. Then Oscar Salazar hit this little bloop into right field, where it bounced off of Ichiro's glove and allowed Everth to score. And that was it.
Eck, Venable, Everth, and Torrealba all had two hits each. Great night for them.
Mark Worrell and Mike Adams each had a scoreless inning. I don't think I've told you how thrilled I am that Worrell is healthy and playing right now. I haven't heard much talk about him this spring, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was in our Opening Day bullpen. He's been doing fairly well this spring, and I really hope that he'll be able to help out the club big-time. Well, I guess I should say that he's been a little better than "fairly well": he's yet to give up a run this spring.
Heath Bell closed the game, popout, strikeout, strikeout. Not bad at all.
We're definitely getting closer to Opening Day, man. Good to see CY with a strong outing, just enough offense, and then the Heater to close things out. Just like old times.
Today we're playing the White Sox. Wade LeBlanc's starting. Sweet.

Opening day is definitely getting closer… and i think the NL west could be anyone's this year, I think your gonna hate the Rockies with a passion by the end of the season though…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
" First off, I still can't stand it when we play the Rockies."
Easy to say why , they are the biggest rival we have . I never did like them & never really respected them because of that ball park they play in , they allways put up big numbers there .
I like what I see in our pitching, its looking good this yr.
Padres is far worth to see than any team, maybe because I'm one of their loyal fans and supporters. I'll certainly enjoyed seeing it than the Crystal Bowersox performance but I heard she is good and very talented woman. Anyway, as the opening day is fast approaching I could not wait but to see the Padres rock the field. Make us proud guys and I'll be cheering on you till the end.

The saws are buzzing, the woodchips are flying, and the trees are coming down at Pacific Palisades Park.
The city says the invasive albizia trees are unsafe, since large limbs are dropping on their own. They can't have that at a city park much less one where students at Palisades Elementary School often spend their recess.
"It's pretty dangerous for us, especially those kids that play around here. I mean, it's good to cut some of the trees but not all the way down," said Pearl City resident Noel Pascual.
But cutting them all the way down is the plan. The city's arborist said that's the only option, as the trees grow larger the problems branch out too. The trees roots are pushing on the retaining wall sometimes even forcing their way through.
"We come out here and inspect this area pretty often and noticed that the size and some of the damage that they are doing on the wall it was essentially time for these trees to go, unfortunately," said Austin Braaten with the city's division of urban forestry.
The trees get shredded and the chips will be used to put nutrients back in the landscape.The project will take about a week and a half to complete.

"It is no longer necessary to boil the water for the El Oso WSC customers," El Oso said in a press release Friday afternoon, Aug. 1. "The water is safe for consumption."
"Repairs have been completed and bacterial samples have been taken with negative results," the press release said.
The boil water notice was issued after a break in a 12-inch water line happened July 29, but El Oso does not know how the break happened.
"El Oso WSC issued a Boil Water Notice due to a leak which is located on a 12 inch main in under the San Antonio River," said Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) spokesperson Andrea Morrow.
The boil water notice was issued as a precaution to protect the public against illness that could occur due to possible incursion of river water.
Customers can sign up for alerts such as the recent notice to boil water and subsequent notice stating boiling of water is no longer needed, via email or text message at El Oso's website (elosowsc.com).

As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a young, talented fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino, The Borgias), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Though Adama quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, the battle-weary officer Coker (Ben Cotton, Alcatraz), the two men must set their differences aside when a routine escort mission with an enigmatic passenger (Lili Bordán, Silent Witness) turns dangerous and becomes a pivotal one for the desperate fleet.
