Christopher Lloyd TV Shows
Masters of Horror
In 2002, director Mick Garris invited some director friends to an informal dinner at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California. The original ten "masters" attending were John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, Don Coscarelli, Joe Dante, Guillermo Del Toro, Garris, Stuart Gordon, Tobe Hooper, John Landis and Bill Malone. The dinner was an extremely satisfying experience for the directors; a welcome night of camaraderie, humor and mutual admiration of one another's work. Del Toro coined the name of the group in jest when he told a nearby diner celebrating her birthday that the masters of horror wished her a happy birthday.[citation needed]
Subsequently, Garris organized regular dinners with the group, and invited other horror and genre directors to attend including Dario Argento, Eli Roth, David Cronenberg, Tim Sullivan, Rob Zombie, Bryan Singer, William Lustig, Lucky McKee, Ernest Dickerson, Kat O' Shea, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, James Gunn, Mary Lambert, Tom Holland, Peter Medak, Ti West, Lloyd Kaufman and others.
In 2005, Garris created and produced an original anthology television series of one hour movies, written and directed by many of the "Masters" which was originally broadcast in the U.S. on the Showtime cable network. In several international territories, the films were released theatrically. The series debuted to excellent reviews in the U.S. on October 28, 2005 with the premiere episode "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", co-written and directed by Don Coscarelli. New episodes premiered every Friday at 10pm EST throughout the series' two seasons. The show followed an anthology series format, with each episode featuring a one-hour film directed by a well-known horror film director. In 2009 Chiller (TV network) began showing the show on their Sunday evening line up of shows and in 2010, Reelz Channel began airing episodes of Masters of Horror edited (despite keeping its TV-MA rating) and with commercials.
Inspired by actual cases and experiences, Numb3rs depicts the confluence of police work and mathematics in solving crime. An FBI agent recruits his mathematical genius brother to help solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles from a very different perspective.

Together, these four main characters face life's challenges together.
Taxi's success was due to its excellent writing, Burrows's award-winning directing using his innovative four-camera technique, and its largely unknown but talented cast. Danny DeVito's Louie DePalma soon became one of the most despised men on television--possibly the most unredeemable and worthless louse of a character ever to reside on the small screen. Andy Kaufman's foreign mechanic Latka Gravas provided over-the-top comedy within an ensemble emphasizing subtle character humor.
In "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", we meet the idiot named Billy and the snotty girl named Mandy, who apparently win a bet with the Grim Reaper over a sick hamster, making him have to be their best friend forever! These adventures show how much they drive him crazy!

And apparently there's a Tannen in every time as relatives of Biff keep popping up, and creating conflict. Mary Steenburgen and Tom Wilson reprise their roles from the movies. During live portions of the show, Christopher Lloyd reprised his role as Doc Brown and was joined by Bill Nye, who conducted experiments that were used in the show.

Ed Stevens is a contracts lawyer at a high-profile New York City firm. Around the same time he splits with his wife (she slept with a mailman), he makes a single error in punctuation when going over a contract; and because of the resulting financial loss to the firm, he's fired. Despondent, he heads back to his (small) hometown of Stuckeyville -- 'Anytown', USA. There he realizes he's been missed by a lot of friends whom he's missed; and he sees Carol, the girl he'd adored in high school. Swept up in roiling emotions, Ed buys the local bowling alley on a whim, moves to Stuckeyville, and determines to win Carol's heart. His horizons broaden as he settles once more in Stuckeyville, and the series itself settles into a charming, funny, often serious slice-of-life series focused not solely on Ed but on the lovable ensemble cast of people who live and work with him in Stuckeyville.

The game uses a 3x3 square board. 2 players take turns to play,
either placing a red on an empty square, or changing a red to
orange, or orange to green. The player who forms 3 of 1 colour in a
line wins.
A game for 2 players. Draw a daisy with at least 5 petals. Shade 1 or 2 petals next to each other. The winner shades the last petal.
A game for 1 person to develop stategy and shape and space awareness. 12 counters are placed on a board. Counters are removed one at a time. The aim is to be left with only 1 counter.
This is a game for two players where the object is to be the first to make a line of five adjacent pieces either across the board or down or diagonally. The players take it in turns to place a piece in a square on the board and once placed the pieces cannot be moved. Go Moku is played on a 19 by 19 Go board, the players having 180 stones each.
You can make your own board for the game marking out a 10 by 10 square into 100 small squares, or a larger square up to 19 by 19. You will need a large supply of counters of two colours. Alternatively you can play the game on paper by printing off this grid, and in this case,
instead of putting down counters, players make individual marks in their chosen squares.
In the traditional game the pieces are placed on the intersection points where the gridlines cross (as in Mulinello) but it is exactly equivalent, and easier to play, if you place the pieces inside the squares.

1) The wide array of international restaurants representing almost every type of food imaginable, something that is lacking in Wenzhou!, and
2) The motorcycles
To start the holiday, Wes and I got shown around some of the city by Greg, went out for some tasty food (Vietnamese food is good!), and visited Greg's international middle school, and Alisons international elementary school. Very interesting buildings and set-ups for these schools. For example, Ali's elementary school is situated inside of a former car dealership building. It actually works really well for an elementary setting! Greg's school is in a 3 story building with very little playground space outside. In fact, all the schools seemed to be like that. Just a tiny little basketball court area, and no grass. Real estate seems to be pricey as many of the buildings in the city have an extremely small footprint. This produces many interesting looking tall, narrow buildings all over the city. Also of note is some of the electrical wiring found here....sketchy to say the least! One last place that we visited while in HCMC was the War Remnants Museum in downtown HCMC. The museum has plenty of artifacts and weaponry from the Vietnam War, including some very anti-american sentiment at many of the exhibits. Quite an eye opening place.......I found it shocking to learn that even today many babies are born with birth defects that are caused by all the Agent Orange that was sprayed all over the country during the war. Things such as extra limbs, digits, massive heads, buggy eyes, etc. Very very sad stuff. Anyway, here are some pictures from in and around HCMC.

Saw your comment over at Joy's and was hoping to send along some vitamins, but you're on a different continent!
As for the booking, it's the same story even with the really expensive business hotels in Bangalore. If you use a credit card, be aware that they print the entire number, not just the last four digits, on receipts..
Do you have skype for telecon? It's cheaper than land or cell. Don't know if J, N & L have the bandwidth currently, but they sometimes can get on skype for a good chat. --Syl (near SF, CA)

Soprano Sharleen Joynt on Resuming an Opera Career After Reality TV's 'The Bachelor'
When Sharleen Joynt, a coloratura soprano from Canada, was selected to be a contestant on ABC's reality dating show "The Bachelor," she knew it had the potential to be more bizarre than many opera plots. One of the show's pivotal scenes, after all, has her stepping out of a limousine, dressed to the nines, to meet someone who ostensibly could propose to her within a few weeks.
But, as she discusses on this edition of Conducting Business, there was a "fear of missing out" when the opportunity arose. "You know it's once-in-a-lifetime even if it's not highbrow once-in-a-lifetime."
Joynt was among 27 women selected to move into a mansion and gear up to attract Juan Pablo Galavis, the titular bachelor of the show. She stayed through seven episodes before deciding he wasn't for her and – uncharacteristically for a contestant – left of her own accord.
Besides being surreal – with cameras trailing her at every waking moment – the experience pointed to larger questions of how pop culture visibility can impact a career that's usually considered highbrow. And it illustrates the difficulties a young singer faces in balancing an all-consuming profession with extracurricular interests and a personal life.
Anne Midgette, classical music critic of the Washington Post, is among many observers who suggested that Joynt didn't fit the typical profile of the show's characters. "She seems to have made a splash on 'The Bachelor' by being kind of genuine and maintaining her dignity," said Midgette, who recently wrote about Joynt. "She certainly didn't hurt her career with the way she behaved on the show. She appears to have been completely dignified throughout."
"Taking a larger view of it, there are worse things in the world than getting a little mainstream exposure for the opera world," Midgette added.
But Midgette also thinks the singer may be viewed suspiciously by some casting directors and agents. Despite the fact that Joynt is currently an understudy at the Metropolitan Opera, and studied at the Mannes College of Music, Midgette notes that she was turned down for an audition at one "B-level American house" on the grounds that she was too "junior league." Says Joynt, "I think that the opera world is very wary of me at the moment. It's not easy. Everything I've done so far in my life has been for [my opera career]."
Joynt describes how she has sought to keep her opera career separate from the show, which was largely necessary during the filming itself. "When you're in 'The Bachelor' mansion, you're drinking a lot and staying up late a lot," she said. A few times she practiced in a bathroom with the door locked and the blinds shut. "Basically, I tried to keep it private, but it's really hard."
The producers, however, wanted her to spotlight her singing. "I was like, 'I don't want to sing in interviews.' I was like, 'I'm not singing when I get out of the limo,'" said Joynt. (She did eventually sing a few bars in one scene, as Juan Pablo "wasn't taking no for an answer.")
Would she do it again?
"I would be lying if I said I didn't have moments where I said, 'maybe this was a huge mistake.' But it was a fun experience. I'm a 29-year-old girl. And honestly, the people I met were the best part – the girls in the house, the producers – many of whom I consider friends now. I only have good things to say about it overall."

Elite agents sent to protect French president François Hollande at the Rio Earth summit forgot to pack their guns, it emerged today.
In scenes reminiscent of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau of the Pink Panther films, highly trained members of the GSPR (Security Group of the Presidency of the Republic) thought they had placed their weapons in secure suitcases. They hadn't.
So unless they managed to borrow weapons from the Brazilians — the country has a serious gun crime issue — the agents wearing sunglasses and earpieces around Mr Hollande would have had fake guns in their shoulder holsters.
An officer told the French investigative weekly Le Canard Enchaîné: "As far as anyone can remember, this was the first time this has happened."
The agent responsible for the fiasco was sacked.

Atractaspis bibronii
|Atractaspis bibronii
|Scientific classification
|A. bibronii
|Binomial name
|Atractaspis bibronii
A. Smith, 1849
- Common names: Bibron's burrowing asp.[2]
Atractaspis bibronii is a venomous snake species found in Africa. No subspecies are currently recognized.[3]
The specific epithet, bibronii, is in honor of French herpetologist Gabriel Bibron.[4]
Adults average 30–50 cm (12–20 in) in total length with a maximum of 70 cm (27 1⁄2 in). The color pattern consists of a purplish-brown, gray or black ground color, often with a purplish sheen. The belly can be brownish, white or pale yellow in color, with a series of dark blotches. In specimens with a lighter belly coloration, this may also include two or three scale rows on the flanks.[2]
Snout prominent, subcuneiform. Portion of rostral visible from above as long as or a little shorter than its distance from the frontal. Dorsal scales in 21 or 23 rows. Ventrals 221-260; anal entire; subcaudals 20-23, all or greater part single (not divided).[5]
Geographic range[edit]
Found in southern Africa, from central Namibia, east to northern South Africa, north to southeastern DR Congo and Uganda, eastern Tanzania, coastal Kenya, and extreme southern coastal Somalia.[2]
Semi-desert, savannah and woodland.[2]
Atracraspis bibronii will eat frogs and small mammals, but its main diet is burrowing reptiles encountered in old termite mounds.[6]
The venom is highly toxic, although it is produced in very small amounts. Bites are common in some areas. Often, snake handlers are bitten who are unaware that this species is able to bite while being held by the neck. Bite symptoms usually include mild to intense pain, local swelling with occasional blistering and necrosis and regional lymphadenopathy. No fatalities have been recorded.[2]

Will Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski be enough at tight end?
|09.05.11 at 6:55 pm ET
FOXBORO — Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski provided arguably the best 1-2 rookie tandem in New England since the "Gold Dust Twins" Fred Lynn and Jim Rice burst onto the scene with the Red Sox in 1975.
Their collective season in 2010 was so good that apparently Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are convinced that they can begin the season with them as their only tight end options on the team. Gronkowski played in all 16 games, with 42 catches, 546 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hernandez was even better before a hip injury limited him in the last month of the season. In his first season, Hernandez caught 45 balls for 563 yards and six touchdowns.
But whereas the Patriots had a wealth of tight end options on the roster in 2010 and even earlier in camp this summer, the depth is suddenly depleted.
The Patriots waived two tight ends during the final roster cuts over the weekend, letting go of 6-foot-6 Lee Smith, who was picked up by Bills, and Will Yeatman, another big, tall tight end who was scooped up by the Dolphins. Alge Crumpler is at home, still rehabbing after having surgery on both shoulders in the off-season.
So, while Hernandez and Gronkowski figure to be right at the top of the Brady target list every game, this is a different mix of receivers. The Patriots have brought in Chad Ochocinco, who is still adjusting. They still have Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Julian Edelman and Taylor Price.
But this year, it's just Gronk and Hernandez at tight end, a role and responsibility both second-year players are embracing.
"Yes, definitely taking on a bigger role like that, having them rely on us like that," Gronkowski said. "Definitely Crump helped out a lot last year, too. But I feel like having a year under our belt, we can handle this situation. Also, we have to rely on the coaches, too, telling us what to do, listening to the coaches, the quarterbacks and other players so we can go out there and do what we have to do."
"I feel more comfortable every day because we obviously have great receivers like Deion, Ocho and Wes," said Hernandez. "They are always correcting us, teaching how to attack people, and stuff like that."
Asked if rookie tackle Nate Solder might be able to help, Hernandez dropped this little nugget about what the Patriots might do if they need an extra blocker on the edge in run-blocking situations.
"I'm sure he can, probably other people can as well," said Hernandez. "We'll just take it day by day and the coaches will make that decision."
Solder began his career at Colorado as a tight end before moving over to the left tackle spot.
For now, however, tight ends coach Brian Ferentz only has two pupils in his meetings.
"It's a little quiet right now with just me and Gronk in there," Hernandez said. "I'm sure someone else will come in. I don't mind it, though. Gronk is a great tight end. I don't mind it being us."
"He's the loud one," Gronkowski added. "That means basically the same thing as always, if we have two or five. I just have to do what I do and do what the coaches ask me to do, just go out there and perform how I can perform. I just have to go out there and do the job they tell me to do. I feel like it's not going to change at all, if we have eight tight ends in there or two. It doesn't matter. Whatever the coaches ask, just have to go out there."

Where to begin? For starters, Dear Leader provides proof positive of exactly how bad things are, reiterating that "we have nothing to fear but fear itself". The comments are not very Presidential and are sure to shake the confidence of both the American people, institutions, and our global partners.
Bush's dire words will have consequences. For starters, there's this little bit of great news from China [Reuters] followed by a swift reversal/denial [also Reuters]:
Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.
The Hong Kong newspaper cited unidentified industry sources as saying the instruction from the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) applied to interbank lending of all currencies to U.S. banks but not to banks from other countries.
"The decree appears to be Beijing's first attempt to erect defences against the deepening U.S. financial meltdown after the mainland's major lenders reported billions of U.S. dollars in exposure to the credit crisis, the SCMP said.
A spokesman for the CBRC had no immediate comment.
Preliminary indications are that neither Congress, a healthy number of economists, and the American people are not falling for cheap parlor tricks.
The nation's chief bookkeeper from the Congressional Budget Office suggests that the intervention may actually make things worse [WaPo]:
During testimony before the House Budget Committee, Peter R. Orszag " Congress's top bookkeeper " said the bailout could expose the way companies are stowing toxic assets on their books, leading to greater problems.
"Ironically, the intervention could even trigger additional failures of large institutions, because some institutions may be carrying troubled assets on their books at inflated values, Orszag said in his testimony. "Establishing clearer prices might reveal those institutions to be insolvent.
In an interview later yesterday, Orszag explained using the following example: Suppose a company has Asset X, whose value is recorded on the books as $100. Because of the current economic decline, Asset X's real value has dropped to $50. If the company takes part in the government bailout and sells Asset X for $50, the company has to report a $50 loss on its books. On a scale of millions of dollars, such write-downs could ruin a company.
Such companies "look solvent today only because it's kind of hidden, Orszag said. "They actually are insolvent already, he said.
It doesn't help any that Paulson and Bernanke view this crisis as a liquidity event and not a solvency event. They appear to believe that additional capital will dissolve the solvency problem. The fact that the amount $700,000,000,000 was just pulled from the air does not lend much confidence either.
The crisis is not just limited to investment brokerages and their exotic financial instruments. Your local retail bank may be in trouble too, and the FDIC is still undercapitalized as to insurance [Bloomberg]
It won't take many more failures before the FDIC itself runs out of money. The agency had $45.2 billion in its coffers as of June 30, far short of the $200 billion Whalen says it will need to pay claims by the end of next year. The U.S. Treasury will almost certainly come to the rescue.
Emergency federal funding of the FDIC could swell the cost of government rescues of failed financial institutions to more than $400 billion — not including the $700 billion general Wall Street bailout now under discussion in Congress.
That number would be even higher if the government were on the hook for uninsured deposits — which amount to $2.6 trillion, 37 percent of the total of $7 trillion held in the U.S. branches of all FDIC member banks.
Currently 117 banks are on the "bad bank list". 12 have failed this year alone; 2008 was the worst year for bank failures since the Savings & Loan Scandal in the 1990s.
By the end of 2009, about 100 U.S. banks with collective assets of more than $800 billion will fail, predicts Christopher Whalen, managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics, a Torrance, California-based firm that sells its analysis of FDIC data to investors.
"It's not going to be Armageddon," says Mark Vaughan, an economist and assistant vice president for banking supervision and regulation at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Virginia. "But it's going to be bad."

What would you consider the perfect toolbox!
So recently there is the thread asking about the top 5 tools for a beginner. This got me thinking about what you experts would consider the perfect toolbox! Please comment and list your wishlist!
1. Weighs nothing
2. Holds all my tools, now and in the future
3. Keeps tools organized. No need to remove one tool to get at another. Every tool has a place. Every tool protected.
4. Fits in back of my car.
Anything less is simply a trade off of these four key points, optimizing desired features.
No such thing. What works for one person would be useless to another.
For just a home handyman around the house one of these may work.
Portable, lots of room for differant tools and parts.
precisely joe,the toolbox being carried depends on the person and what type of tasks they have to do. a handyman will have to carry a selection of basic carpentry tools along with electrical and plumbing tools
i work with a turnkey renovation company meaning we do large reno's and custom new home construction where we do the job from the ground up to the keys being handed over to the homeowner. the same group of guys works on the foundation right up to the exterior finish,, for interior finish i work with the company owners father and occasionally bring in a couple trimmers to help with speeding things up.. what this means is i carry a toolbox which has my portable power tools (circ saw, jigsaw, recip, multi tool, cordless drill and impact driver, angle grinder) i need these tools for form work, framing, siding and decks. a general hand tool box which has wrecking bars, pliers, vice grips. levels, chisels etc , this is always on board my truck. for siding i carry a bucket with tools specific to vinyl siding and installing flashings.. be it snips.. a hand break, angle finders, chisels a pull saw.. cordless multitool , block plane for cedar shingles and of course a caulking gun, spare utility knife blades... for trim i have a veto pro pack which holds chisels. hand planes, angle finders, butt gauges, mitre clamps, scribes etc.. plus a large clc bag which carries my finish guns, quick grip clamps and orbital sander
i am happy i have a toolbox!
Actually, one needs two tool boxes....one that is fixed and the other that is portable....what's in them is determined by what you use it for.
Me? I have my Craftsman roll-around with a box on top. I like it because I can roll it out to the front of the garage where I'm working. I find that I loose less tools if I have the box next to my jeep. I also have a couple of bags that I keep tools in. Both have a default set of toos (one is for electrical work, the other is more plumbing related). I can also add to them as needed.
1 Attachment(s)
The word Toolbox can loosely used to describe a hole range of containers used to store tools and sometimes hardware. Starting at the low end and
easily going up to the over 1k price range
To me even Tool Bags can be used as tool boxes because that is what Katz uses them as.
(Check the price tag on that Occidental Leather Tool bag and on how many tools Gary keeps in there)
.....I still have the two Kennedy Tool Chests that I used when I started as a Tech at Douglas. Now I mostly use a smaller 3 Drawer tool box made by Keter that has ball bearing drawers.
My most used favorite is a small step stool toolbox that I can stand on, or sit on. ( I got mine at LOWE'S)
I sure hope you folks come up with the perfect tool box!!
I have owned (and hated) dozens of tool bags--buckets--boxes and pouches in my life----
I work out of a truck---and have drawers in there for tools---good--then remove what I think I need for the days work into a bucket or tool satchel---After a couple of days the tools are in a mess---
Hurry up with that perfect tool box!!!
the Doctor bag by occi is amazing but the $550 price tag isnt
I have a 16' trailer, slam full of tools, a garage so full there's no room for a car, the back of my truck has a cool set up where you turn a lever and the whole bed slids out.
And still get out on a job and need something.
How is it I own at least three sets of sockets and I end up with all of them except the one size I need to do the job?
When doing hospital work, and commercial work I had a two wheeler which converted into a 4 wheeler to stack tool boxes on to haul to the site. You didn't want to make too many trips back to the truck for tools as it was so far away, we had to unload at the docks and move the trucks a long way off.
For building homes and restoration work the van and trailer was the best, I especially liked the trailer and 4X4 when working in snow and mud, pull right up to the door.
Now that I am retired, my shop is small and is a total mess, I have sold many of my large tools and a good number of my small tools. I want to organize my shop and build a wall mounted tool cabinet.
add on sales tax and shipping and its actually over $600
this dealer has the best prices that ive seen both on occi and power tools, who i ordered my suspenda vest through. occis arent available in town so i have to order em
for those that dont about occidental , their easily the best tool belts available. kunys/clc bags last 2 - 3 years tops for a carpenter working full time.. occis average 10 years
My ideal tool box has wheels. I think i could get everything i need in a Ford Transit.
ive wondered about those vans.. i worked for the local university 2 years ago they had one.. something about it just didnt seem right the engine of a ford focus in a work van.. if i were to get something like that id go with the nissan vt
Perfect toolbox? One that my wife and kids can never get into, always picks up my tools and puts them away when I'm done and always produces the tool I need, whatever it may be.
