This review is from: ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router, DD-WRT Open Source support, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
Extensive features, options - excellent configuration software
Original router kept dropping connections every few minutes - even within a few feet. Newegg out of stock at time of RMA, gave prompt refund rather than forcing me to wait for replacement. Nice!
Other Thoughts:
Replaced elsewhere due to time constraints - no problems with second one.

The Office Renaissance
For years, many have predicted the death of the office. Mobile technology allows us to work anywhere, so why do you need an office at all? Yet as the world becomes more complex, the places we work have never been more relevant. Work is a social activity and people need places to come together to solve problems. The office isn't going away—it's in the midst of a renaissance, where workplaces are becoming something fundamentally different.

A Look Ahead To 2014
So how does 2014 look? Better in my opinion. Once again, Arnold Schwarzenegger gets us started with TEN. With a very strong supporting cast, an interesting story and good action director, TEN has the potential to do much better then THE LAST STAND. Don't expect huge numbers obviously, but a domestic take of $50-$60 Million is within the realm of possibility.
Jason Statham looks to have at least a couple films coming out in HOMEFRONT and HUMMINGBIRD. HOMEFRONT may even come this year but no release date has been announced. HOMEFRONT should do about the average for Statham, around $30 Million, HUMMINGBIRD will crash and burn if released in theaters here (I doubt it will be).
The big one to be looking forward to is obviously THE EXPENDABLES 3!!! No release date has been unveiled yet but if we go by the last two films I'm looking at August 15, 2014 as our date. EX3 is likely to finish in the same range domestically as THE EXPENDABLES 2 but if both Jackie Chan and Jet Li can be brought on board, internationally EX3 should make a killing and Chan may even be able to help EX3 push past $100 Million domestically again.
What do you guys think? Will 2014 be a bounce back year?

Judge Sends Meek Mill To Jail To Serve 3-6 Months
"The newspaper says Mill had booked concerts between July 11 and August 11, when the judge had ordered him to stop while she tried resolving his probation problems.
Mill was supposed to headline a concert Friday night in Washington. The judge told the 27-year-old rapper's attorney that wasn't going to happen."
Think its safe to say his album will be pushed back now.

Holding that Yadav has prima facie violated the Model Code of Conduct, the Commission has given him time till Sunday evening to send his reply, failing which it will take action. On April 3, addressing an election rally in Bulandshahr in UP, Yadav had allegedly threatened shiksha mitras (government primary school teachers on contract) to vote for SP or else they will not be made permanent.
"As far as shiksha mitras are concerned, we have done it (made them permanent)...we have done it, now give your vote. If you do not vote, we'll withdraw it," EC quoted Yadav as saying.
Issuing him the notice, the Commission reminded him of the provision in the Model Code which bars the party in power, whether at the Centre or in the state, to use its official position for the purposes of its election campaign. Shiksha mitras are ad hoc teachers at government primary schools in UP.

Senior guard Alex Ruoff is expected to be back in the lineup when West Virginia and Miami of Ohio tip off at noon today. Ruoff dressed but did not play in either of WVU's two most recent games, a loss to Davidson in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on December 9 and a win at Duquesne last Saturday night.
The issue, according to Ruoff, was a subluxed rib. West Virginia team physician Dr. Matthew Lively was able to rid Ruoff of the injury last weekend. He returned to practice for the first time on Monday.
"It was a subluxed rib that was causing a bunch of spasms. I had the rib pushed back in and it started to heal," Ruoff said on Friday. "Dr. Lively put me in some kind of position to push it back in. It hurt like crap. I'm better now. I still have a little bit of pain, but not enough to keep me out."
The injury originally happened during WVU's home win over Cleveland State on December 6.
"I landed on my back in the Cleveland State game," he recalled. "I just had to get the rib pushed back in. I just had to wait for the spasms to go away. It was from the back of my shoulder blade all the way back against my spine."
Ruoff's return will boost the depth of a backcourt that was dangerously thin in both the Davidson and Duquesne games. Aside from the senior's rib injury, junior point guard Joe Mazzulla is dealing with a growth plate fracture in his left shoulder. Mazzulla played six minutes against Davidson before aggravating the injury. He missed the win at Duquesne and will be out for the foreseeable future as he attempts to rehab the injury.
With both veterans out, sophomore Jonnie West would likely have seen increased minutes in the rotation. West, however, broke a bone in his foot the day prior to the Davidson game. He is out indefinitely.
Thus, head coach Bob Huggins will be more than happy to see his lone senior back in the lineup for today's game. The weeklong break between games is also a plus as Ruoff has had plenty of time to work his way back into basketball shape since returning to practice on Monday.
"Monday when I first came back, it was rough," he admitted. "It felt like my heart was going to explode. I did a couple of sprints and I'm back now. I don't feel any different.
"I'm not worried about it," he continued. "I'm just anxious to come back out there. I'll probably get out there and be too anxious and too excited, but as long as I get out there I'm fine."

text: 4. Government-sponsored attacks will increase as new players enter.Expect more governments to enter the cyber-warfare arena. In the wake of several publicized cyber-warfare events, there are a number of contributing factors that will drive more countries toward these strategies and tactics. While the effort to become another nuclear superpower may be insurmountable, almost any country can draft the talent and resources to craft cyber-weapons. Countries and individual cybercriminals all have access to the blueprints for previous state-sponsored attacks like Stuxnet, Flame and Shamoon. 5. Expect hacktivists to move to the next level as simplistic opportunities dwindle. Driven by highly publicized hacktivist events in recent years, organizations have deployed increasingly better detection and prevention policies, solutions and strategies. Hacktivists will move to the next level by increasing their sophistication. 6. Malicious emails are making a comeback. Timed and targeted spear-phishing email attacks, along with an increase in malicious email attachments, are providing new opportunities for cybercrime. Malicious email will make a comeback. Domain generation algorithms will also bypass current security to increase the effectiveness of targeted attacks. 7. Cybercriminals will follow the crowds to legitimate content management systems and web platforms. Vulnerabilities in Wordpress have frequently been exploited with mass compromises. As other content management systems (CMS) and service platforms increase in popularity, the bad guys will routinely test the integrity of these systems. Attacks will continue to exploit legitimate web platforms, requiring CMS administrators to pay greater attention to updates, patches, and other security measures. Cybercriminals compromise these platforms to host their malware, infect users and invade organizations to steal data. Quotes "The past year illustrated how quickly the threat landscape continues to evolve, with attacks and exploits redefining the concepts of crime, business espionage and warfare. The risk to organizations continues to be amplified by the frailty of human curiosity. It's now expanding across diverse mobile platforms, evolving content management systems and an ever-increasing population of online users.

Silver Patterns.
Konrad finally unfroze, and then Jesse seemingly abandoned him. He walked up to Basilic, intending to apologise to him for what had happened to Phoebe (although point out that he hadn't done it intentionally, once again). He cleared his throat and was about to start speaking when Basilic turned around and started yelling incomprehensible sentences at him. He only caught odd words.
"Vampires… All the same… Idiots… Criminals… Need to be killed… Wiped out… Inferior…" This shocked Konrad; Basilic had always been the more… Level-headed and calm out of the basilisks he had met. But then, love makes people do crazy things, he reflected solemnly. Look what he'd done to Isabella… He shook his head and cleared her out of his thoughts as well. Then he remembered, Pandora. The thought that she might not be fully healed riled him. He wanted to be with her. And then Basilic pushed him. That set him off, and he started shouting; all the secrets of the basilisks that he knew. He watched Basilic's face darken, and then turn a pale grey as he recounted the many horrors the elders of the basilisks had done whilst young and still urged young basilisks to do.
"You see, child of Murderers, your species is no better than mine, and what I did to Phoebe was truly an accident, and I drink blood out of a need to survive. Why have your elders killed people?" he knew he was being slightly hypocritical, but he was so fired up he didn't care. He took a breath and was about to continue when Jesse, without his jacket on, joined the fray. Konrad could feel silver in his arm. The patterns the scars made… They seemed to enhance the power beyond what Konrad could produce. It was tainted, tainted should mean less powerful, but no… It was unnatural…

Liz's apartment is really beautiful. It is decorated to the highest standard, very clean and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. There was a welcome pack for us on our arrival with milk, cereals, tea, coffee and also some complimentary toiletries. The towels in the bathroom were lovely and soft and fluffy. We had a really lovely stay and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment to anyone that is visiting Edinburgh. It is also only a15 minute walk to the City Centre.
Thank you for a lovely stay Liz.
Very beautiful apartment, close to old and new town, restaurants, a shop at 100 m where you find everything.
Liz is a very kind and helpfull person!
I recomend this apartment.
Excellent location, calm, modern and clean with absolutely everything we needed.
Big thanks to Liz - your service is great! Coming back to Edinburgh, your apartment will be the first choice!
This was our first time using Wimdu, and we will certainly use it again! Liz was a great host and the apartment was just like in the pictures. Everything was impeccably clean and neat. Whatever you might need during your stay in Edinburgh, a toaster, blow dryer or (not unimportantly) an umbrella - was available. We were greeted with a lovely breakfast basket which we used all too happily. The apartment is a 10-15 minute (slightly uphill) walk to the city centre (Waverley Station/Princes Street) and there are several supermarkets nearby (at the end of the street is a co-op supermarket, 2min walk). If you're hesitating to book this apartment, don't! It's great value for money and so much more convenient than a hotel.
We had a wonderful stay in this great apartment and Liz did everything to make our visit to Edinburgh as good as she could. Thank you Liz and thank you Edinburgh for a wonderful trip.
Really nice and well equipped appartment. Near the centre of the town (Princess Street). Shops and Pubs just around the corner. Quiet and very clean.
We had a great time in Scotland.
Absolutely recommendable!
My family and I were very pleased with the service and the kindness and the willingness by the owner Mrs Liz. The apartment had all the comforts for a pleasant stay and in particular the sofa was an extraordinary comfort. We really liked the roses that we found on our arrival.
A delightful little apartment. Central but so quiet. Modern and clean with absolutely everything we needed. Best couch to come home to after a day in this amazing city.

No on full control but don't discredit a Super Bowl let alone two Gruden doesn't have two. After the Super Bowl his Bucs never even won another playoff game (and they only went twice in six years).

Sandra Shine's highly arousing vignette movie "Precious Moments" begins with French darling Tiffany Doll picking up artist Stefany on a city riverbank and taking her back to her apartment. They've only just met, but their sexual chemistry is immediate. They take a bubble bath together, proving insatiable for each other as they lock lips and grope hungrily. Tiffany grinds her hairy pussy vigorously along one of Stefany's thighs; Stefany takes control and skillfully strokes Tiffany's snatch until she climaxes. Without pausing for breath, Tiffany raises her hips out of the water so that Stefany can drop between her legs to take her to a second screaming climax with her tongue, and then a third using her fingers. More voracious kissing follows, before Stefany perches on the side of the tub with her legs spread, so Tiffany can clamp her mouth over her pussy and tongue-drill her deep, yet teasingly slowly. Tiffany slips two fingers inside Stefany while simultaneously licking her clit, tipping her over the edge into a gasping orgasm. But Tiffany doesn't let up, and continues eating Stefany's juice-dripping slot until she comes again. Completely drained, they smile and embrace lovingly; it seems this may be only the first of many "Precious Moments" they will share…

As Easter is the first big holiday in the new year, it also heralds the arrival of premier seasonal produce. Being particularly early this time, however, there are not going to be quite as many goodies available. There will be some wild salmon, albeit expensive, as well as some equally pricey spring lamb. But both are synonymous with Easter and rebirth, springtime around the corner, and the annual cycle of growth and prosperity, so you might well feel like splashing out.
The focal point of the weekend is tomorrow's lunch. The gathering of relations around midday, excited children clutching their rapidly melting Easter eggs, glasses of sweet sherry for grannies and aunts and Bloody Mary's for myself and other like-minded diehards.
For lunch, I would have a really smooth and limpid bowl of creamed celery soup to begin with, followed by roast leg of lamb, roast potatoes, purple sprouting broccoli (if it is ready by now), the last of the leeks in a creamy white sauce, and some young buttered carrots. Of course, there would also be freshly made mint sauce, and proper gravy.
Now as to a pudding, it would have to be something quite special but familiar and something to leave room for. The following recipes should give you food for thought.
Stewed rhubarb and custard, serves 4-6
The most important thing to remember when cooking rhubarb is not to add any water at all, as the rhubarb simply stews in its own abundant juices. The flavour of orange has a fine affinity with rhubarb, so, too, does ginger.
700g/11/2 lb young, pink rhubarb
175g/6oz caster sugar
grated rind of two oranges
5cm/2" of fresh ginger, peeled and thickly sliced
Pre-heat the oven to 325F/170C/gas mark 3
Peel away the parts of the rhubarb you might think are tough and stringy. Cut up into 3.5cm/11/2" lengths. Put into a stove-top-to-oven dish and place on a low heat (just to heat the dish for the oven). Stir the orange rind into the sugar in a bowl until it is thoroughly mixed together and strew evenly over the rhubarb. Put on the lid and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Have a look and give the pot a brief shake about; try not to stir as this can break up the rhubarb. You will notice that some juice has already started to exude, but it will need another 15 minutes or so to be thoroughly cooked through. Remove from the oven, take off the lid and allow to cool. Remove the lumps of ginger and serve at room temperature, with cool custard (see below).
As this is prime rhubarb season, another recipe: an old favourite, but, for me, the best crumble of all.
Rhubarb crumble, serves 4
For the crumble:
110g/4oz plain flour
110g/4oz caster sugar
110g/4oz ground almonds
1 tsp ground ginger
pinch of salt
175g/6oz butter, hard from the fridge and cut into small chunks
700g/l1/2 lb rhubarb, cut up into 3.5cm/11/2" lengths
2 tbsp caster sugar
Put the flour, sugar, ground almonds, ginger and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer or food processor. Gently blend these dry ingredients together and then add the butter. Mix as if starting to make pastry, but do not overwork the mixture; the look should be lumpy, rather than the usual finer-textured "breadcrumb" look.
Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C/gas mark 4. Spread the rhubarb into a suitable baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. Pile the crumble mixture over the top, but do not pack down; give the dish a sharp rap on the worktop to settle the surface. Briefly drag a fork over the surface to give texture. Put on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the surface is golden and slightly blistered brown in parts. Serve with very cold pouring cream.
Brandy Alexander ice cream, serves 4
The Groucho Club in London's Soho make's a good Brandy Alexander. It is a favourite late-night cocktail of mine, fashioned from Cognac, Kalhua (chocolate liqueur) and cream, shaken over ice, strained into a chilled glass and dusted with nutmeg. I always think, after about the third one, that it would make wonderful ice-cream. Curiously, the next morning, I have no recollection of this wizard idea. Until now.
5 egg yolks, from medium-sized eggs
90g/31/2 caster sugar
a generous grating of nutmeg
2 tbsp good Cognac
3 tbsp Kalhua
150ml/5fl oz double cream
In a roomy bowl, over a pan of gently simmering water, beat the egg yolks, sugar and nutmeg together until very thick and light. Add the Cognac and Kalhua and continue beating until the consistency is billowy, yet still continuing to thicken. Remove from the heat and continue beating until the mixture has cooled down. Whip the cream until only loosely thick and fold carefully into the egg mixture. Spoon into small wine glasses, leaving a half-inch (1cm) gap. Seal with a small piece of cling film and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Remove the glasses to the fridge for 20 minutes before you wish to eat the ice-cream. Lift off the cling film, pour a spoonful of double cream over each serving and grate a little more nutmeg on top.
Note: an electronic hand whisk will ease the making of this ice-cream, although hand whisking with a fine balloon whisk will produce a finer texture.
Chocolate souffle, serves 4
This recipe comes from The Baking Book, by Linda Collister and Anthony Blake (Conran Octopus, pounds 20). It is easy to make and very good indeed. You will need four ramekins of 300ml/101/2 fl oz capacity.
25g melted butter
1/2 tbsp caster sugar
175g/6oz good quality dark, bitter sweet chocolate, broken into chunks
150ml/5fl oz double cream
3 large eggs, separated
2 tbsp Cognac
2 extra egg whites
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 level tbsp icing sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 425F/220C/gas mark 7.
Brush the ramekins with the melted butter and then sprinkle with caster sugar so that it sticks in an even coating; tap out any excess. This will help the souffle mixture to both rise evenly and also produces a nice crunchy thin crust. Stand the ramekins on a baking tray, with ample space between them, ready for the oven.
Put the cream and chocolate in a heavy based pan. Set over a very low heat and, stirring occasionally, allow the chocolate to melt. Remove from the heat and stir or whisk gently until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, and then the Coqnac. Set aside in a warm spot by the cooker.
Put the 3 egg whites, together with the two extra ones, into a scrupulously clean mixing bowl, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle with the 3 tablespoons of caster sugar and whisk further to make a glossy meringue, but do not over-mix as this can cause the mixture to become grainy, which will spoil the texture of the souffle.
Add a spoonful of the meringue to the warm chocolate mixture, and gently but thoroughly fold in; this will loosen the chocolate mixture and make it easier to fold in the rest of the egg whites. Fold in the remainder of the meringue until there are no streaks of white, ensuring the souffle mixture is still light and airy.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins, so that it comes up nearly to the rims of each. Lightly run your little finger around the edge, to just push away the mixture slightly; this should help to produce the distinctive "hat", once the souffle is cooked. Sift the merest amount of icing sugar over the surface of each (these last two instructions are purely personal touches, and are not included in the original recipe).
Bake in the oven for between 8 and 10 minutes, until puffed and still wobbly in the middle. The centres should still be soft and slightly runny. Dust with a little more icing sugar and serve straight away.
I like to serve chocolate souffle with very cold, loosely whipped double cream that has been lightly sweetened with vanilla sugar.
Mrs Richard St John's remarkable steamy syrup sponge, serves 4
65g/21/2 oz butter, softened
125g/41/2 oz caster sugar
175g/6 oz sifted self-raising flour
2 large eggs
pinch of salt
3-4 tbsp milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4-6 tbsp golden syrup
First of all, grease a 1.1 litre/2 pint pudding basin with 15g/1/2 oz of butter and put the basin and the golden syrup into the fridge to get really cold (this will help you to apply as much syrup all around the bowl without it falling off the sides into the bottom, resulting in a wonderful sticky golden dome all over the sponge once turned out, rather than just around the top). Cream together the remaining butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each, and then fold in the flour and salt, alternately with the milk and vanilla, until a "dropping" consistency is achieved.
Thickly spread the syrup all around the bowl, right up the sides to the rim, and then add an extra big dollop into the bottom. Spoon in the sponge mixture and cover with a piece of well-buttered, pleated greaseproof paper followed by a piece of similarly buttered foil with a further pleat - but placed at right-angles to the grease-proof, so as to allow the pudding to rise. Tie around securely with string. Steam for 11/2 hours. Lift out, carefully run a knife around the sponge and invert onto a hot plate. Serve with:
This recipe will, perhaps, make more than you will need. Oh yeah?
500ml/18fl oz milk
1 vanilla pod, split lengthways
6 egg yolks
110g/4oz caster sugar
Heat the milk together with the vanilla pod in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Remove from the stove and whisk for a few seconds to release the vanilla seeds into the milk. Briefly beat together the egg yolks and sugar and strain over the hot milk, whisking as you go. Return to the saucepan and cook over a very low heat (with a heat-diffuser pad if possible) until limpid and lightly thickened. Some say it should coat the back of a wooden spoon, but I don't go along with this theory; it should be taken further than this, almost until there is the odd simmering blip on the surface. When you think it is ready, give a final vigorous whisk to amalgamate and pour into a warm jug
Note: If you are unlucky enough to split the custard, a blast in a liquidiser will rescue it.

As traffic rules violators increasing day by day the Government has been decided to change traffic rules, traffic rules might be more strict now. Despite of CC surveillance cameras, signal jumping wrong route driving still continuing as they have less fine. Hence Government launched new rules, if a person breaks the rules several times the license will be revoked. In addition to penalty for a breach of the rules now government decided to impose some restrictions. These are in the form of points and intends to declare a maximum of 12 points. Government set new rules for violation of traffic rules that, 2 points for single jumping, 5 points for wrong rout driving, driving without helmet considered 3 points, travelling without driving license and vehicle related documents leads to 3 points. The Government has been decided to cancel license for one year and issue the license after 12 months if one crosses the 12 points. Second time crossing 12 points leads to 5 years driving license cancellation. If the similar situation continues third time the government set a rule to cancel driving license for life time. There is a chance to implementation of new rules after greater elections.
As it is clear that driving license will be canceled once crossing 12 points, make sure that you are not violating traffic rules. We all know the importance of driving license, in our day to day life reaching office or destinations in own vehicles is time saving and more comfort way hence it is important to stop driving license cancellation by following traffic rules. From today while you are in driving make sure that you are wearing helmet, not jumping signals, not driving in wrong rout, driving license and vehicle related documents are with you.

Young patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) display an attenuated heart rate recovery (HRR) during the first minute (HRR-1) and the first 2 min (HRR-2) postexercise. We sought to compare determinants of HRR-1 and HRR-2 in OSAS and to assess whether these associations depend on age.
Exercise testing with measurements of HRR-1 and HRR-2 was performed in 54 patients with untreated OSAS (median [interquartile range] apnea-hypopnea index 27.5 [12.0-42.4] h−1, desaturation index [DSI] 10.6 [5.1-25.0] h−1).
Overall, higher DSI (P < .001) and higher total cholesterol ([TC] P = .02) were independent predictors of lower HRR-1, whereas lower peak heart rate (P < .001), higher resting heart rate (P = .006), and higher DSI (P = .01) were independently associated with lower HRR-2. In the below-median age group (age ≤ 48 years; n = 27), higher DSI (P = .002) was the only independent predictor of lower HRR-1, and lower peak heart rate (P < .001) and higher DSI (P = .003) were independently associated with lower HRR-2. In contrast, in the above-median age group (age > 48 years; n = 27) higher TC (P = .006), higher insulin resistance (P = .009), and higher resting heart rate (P = .048) were independently associated with lower HRR-1, and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = .001), higher resting heart rate (P = .002), higher TC (P = .005), and lower peak heart rate (P = .01) were independently associated with HRR-2.
Assessment of HRR-2 provides additional information on different aspects of OSAS compared with HRR-1. Markers of OSAS severity, such as DSI, are independently associated with HRR in younger patients only, whereas in older patients, HRR reflects OSAS-related metabolic and renal dysfunction.

This very nice BMW 335i was booked in for a protection detail.
On arrival
No wash process pics on this one but products used were:
Elite car care snow foam.
A/S smart wheels/EZ brush + SV brush.
Megs hyper wash, lambs wool mitt.
Megs super degreaser for arches and vikan brush.
Miracle towel, last touch and leaf blower.
Engine before
Once the wash process was complete I moved inside and treated the lower half of the car with tardis to remove tar.
Next I clayed the paintwork, windows and wheels with sonus green and last touch.
I then turned my attention to the interior which was very tidy to be honest just a thorough vacuum and a general tidy up was needed, Lexol leather cleaner on a micro fibre cloth for the seats before being conditioned again with Lexol. Glass cleaned in and out with water repellent applied to the exterior.
Exhaust before
Fuel cap dressed
Wheel arches were treated with megs all season dressing, tyres were dressed with A/S high style and wiped with micro fibre cloth after 30 mins to avoid tyre fling. Engine was detailed and dressed with megs all season dressing.
Paintwork was then cleansed with SV cleaner fluid on a german applicator, once removed SV B.O.S was applied and left for around 45 mins before being removed with a plush micro fibre towel.
As usual thanks for looking.

Spartacus Parent Review
Movie Review
The Douglas Dynasty (that grew to include Kirk's sons Michael, Eric, Joel and Peter) was already well established when Kirk Douglas was given Howard Fast's novel Spartacus by one of the vice presidents of his film company, Bryna Productions. Douglas optioned the book and Universal eventually agreed to finance the film. It became the studio's highest grossing film until the release of the 1970 movie Airport. The production also received six Academy Award nominations and won four Oscars including one for Peter Ustinov as a best supporting actor.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
The story focuses on the central historical character of Spartacus (played by Kirk Douglas), a Thracian gladiator who, along with other escapees, helps sparks the Third Servile War in the Roman Empire.
Despite living in the salt mines since he was a boy, Spartacus has a sense of morality that seems out of place in his circumstances. Later, after being forced to become a gladiator under the tutorage of Lentulus Batiatus (Peter Ustinov), the young man learns fighting skills that he uses when the gladiators at the school stage an uprising.
At first he and the fugitives are considered to be a mere annoyance. But bit-by-bit they gain more support as they cross the country pillaging Roman estates and freeing slaves. Spartacus becomes the leader and slowly his fame—or infamy—spreads across the Italian Peninsula.
As the Roman Senate becomes increasingly concerned with the insurgents, they send out their armies to quell the rebellion. However, the political maneuvering for control in the capitol proves to be almost as fatal to the empire as the slave uprising.
The film sports an impressive cast of Hollywood heavyweights of the time. Along with Douglas and Ustinov, Laurence Olivia stars as the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus who tries to seduce his young male slave played by Tony Curtis. The scene was deleted when the film's first released, but has since been restored. John Gavin stars as Julius Caesar and British actress Jean Simmons plays Spartacus's lover Varinia.
The epic saga, directed by Stanley Kubrick (who went on to direct films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shinning and Eyes Wide Shut), offers a bloody look at the brutality of the Romans with depictions of battles, stabbings and decapitation. In one scene a limb is hacked off, and numerous other gory injuries and weapons are shown.
While the film depicts the internal conflict that eventually contributes to the overthrow of the Roman Empire, it doesn't conclude with the seemingly obligatory happy ending. Rather the movie raises questions to be discussed about social classes, entertainment (gladiators fighting to the death for the amusement of the rich) and the universal human desire for freedom.Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Starring Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons. Running time: 197 minutes. Theatrical release October 7, 1960. Updated October 6, 2015

After the Las Conchas Fire destroyed 156,293 acres last June, students from the Los Alamos High School DECA Chapter began spreading the word on what the community can do to keep forests and homes safe from fires.
Vice President of Membership Sarah Patterson said, "Prevention is often on the minds of a community after a fire. That is why we have chosen 'now' to promote our campaign."
Vice President of Communications James Milligan said even though October was National Fire Month, the group noticed that the community does not have an ongoing fire prevention campaign.
"We figured it was about time to start one," he said.
The musicians of the Best Brass of Christmas return to Los Alamos this year to present a concert of Christmas favorites.
Presented in cooperation with the Los Alamos Arts Council, the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce and Winterfest, this concert includes carols of the Christmas season, American spirituals and the music of Bach.
The League of Women voters invites the community to their Dec. 8 Lunch with a Leader at 11:45 a.m. at Central Avenue Grill.
All lunches are $15 and include choice of entree, drink, tax and gratuity. The guest speaker is Christine Chavez, Los Alamos County's Water and Energy Conservation coordinator.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico used a balanced scoring attack and a dominating rebounding performance Wednesday night to defeat Idaho State 65-41.
A.J. Hardeman and Demetrius Walker scored nine points each for the Lobos (5-2) and Drew Gordon equaled a season-high with 13 rebounds and added eight points.
Melvin Morgan scored 23 for Idaho State (1-5), but no other Bengal had more than five points.
The Lobos outrebounded the Bengals 51-28, including a 22-9 on the offensive glass which led to a 26-8 advantage in second-chance points. That inside dominance also helped New Mexico outscore Idaho State 30-12 on points in the paint.
Although the Lobos went just 12 for 24 from the free-throw line, the Bengals were just 2 for 4.
Hilltoppers drop third straight
The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team was thumped by the St. Michael's Horsemen Wedneday night.
Los Alamos fell behind 20-0 right from the get-go and fell to St. Michael's 54-22 at Perez-Shelley Gymnasium in Albuquerque.
The loss was the third straight for Los Alamos followng its season-opening win last week. Los Alamos will play again Tuesday when it hosts Belen.
Cheer clinic is Saturday
The Los Alamos Hilltopper cheerleading team will hold a clinic Saturday.
The clinic is for any interested youth in grades 1-8. It will be from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Pueblo Complex gymnasium.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper swimming and diving teams will be at home for the first time of the 2011-12 season Friday and Saturday.
Los Alamos will host 15 other teams for its December Invitational. The meet will be at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center. Diving is scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday and swimming will be at 10 a.m. Saturday.
Along with Los Alamos, teams from Farmington, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho and as far away as Gallup and Socorro are expected.
This is the Hilltoppers' second scheduled meet of the season. They participated in the Barney Relays two weeks ago, taking third in both the boys and girls competition.
Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer player Amy Neal was named the 2011 Class 4A Player of the Year by NMSoccer.com.
Neal, the top-scoring player in 4A this season, was given the honor following the state playoffs. Neal led Los Alamos to a district title and a trip to the state playoff semifinals before the Hilltoppers were knocked out by eventual champion Albuquerque Academy.
In 2011, Neal, a junior, finished with 33 goals, which led Class 4A and trailed only three other players in the entire state. She also had 19 assists – second in 4A behind only Academy's MacKenzie Miller – to finish with 85 total points, 14 points better than Caroline Growney of Academy.
Maybe you weren't amused by all the snarky comments about candidate Rick Perry's memory lapse.
Anybody over a certain age has experienced those mental misfires.
We can usually laugh them off unless we happen to be on national television as a candidate for president.
Focus instead on what the man intended to say.
To cut the deficit, Perry would eliminate the Education Department, the Commerce Department, and the Energy Department.
The Energy Department? Ack!
The DOE may not be a model of bureaucratic efficiency, but in fiscal 2010, the department spent $4.1 billion in New Mexico, more than it spent in any other state.
Perry might as well have said, No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.

Taught high school science, mainly biology, for 35 years. Married to the same woman since 1969. Six grandchildren.
"Mike begins"
I enjoyed the scenario, the comparison to Alex is inescapable. A (caucasian) cop (in New York), who happens to be a widower. Also, he has help from a grandparent (grandfather this time) in raising his children. I enjoyed the suspense. A good introduction of a new series.
"An intriguing story"
From the beginning to the end, this book draws you in and keeps you in.
"Wonderful, Suspense & Grief"
I really enjoyed this book the first in the Michael Bennett series, being introduced to his wife with terminal cancer and his brood of 10 adopted kids. I liked how the story melds his job as a Detective and hostage negotiator. The different narrators and I loved the sound effects it makes the story so real. Now, onto the next book in the series. The narrators were great.
"Great Listen"
Started quickly and kept going. Enjoyed a new character but this one has a lot of similarities to his previous character. Good plot.
"Step on this book"
Extremely disappointing. If you have to give the main character 10 kids and a wife dieing of cancer to make us want him to win, then the story is weak.
"Step On A Crack"
Great plot, lots of imagination, just when you think you've figured it out you are pleasantly surprised.
"Good Listen"
I was afraid that the quality of this book might suffer from having a co-author in the writing process, my fears were quite wrong. This book moves quickly and forcefully from start to finish, the characters are well thought out and presented in a clear and contrite fashion. The narration by John Slattery is first rate as one would expect and the 2nd reader does quite well but has a very small part to work with.
"Same old, same old"
This book was so totally predictable in it's story line and characters (the villain especially), I just kept wanting it to hurry up and be over. The hero's personal story-line is so sappy and unrealistic, I cringed every time he started talking about his children or wife. It seemed to me like this might be a story that took James Patterson about 10 minutes to write and I wish had only taken 10 minutes to hear.
"Unabridged not"
This Unabridged as titled is only about 1 hour longer than the Abridged version. Skips from chapter 1-3 and looses more of the plot line. Thats why I never buy an abridged version. Sounds like there is something missing from the author like the rest of the book. Until this issue is resolved I would not recomend this book.

Their billboards tower over the streets of Hollywood, their broadcast spots clog the commercial breaks between primetime TV shows, and their print advertisements fill the pages of almost every Los Angeles-based publication.
In its hometown the Oscar race is unavoidable, and, just like last year's US Presidential rivals, this year's nominees for Best Picture are expected to contest the most expensive awards campaign in history.
The studios behind Ben Affleck's Iran hostage drama Argo and Steven Spielberg's presidential biopic Lincoln, the two leading contenders for Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony, are both estimated to have spent around $10m (£6.4m) on their campaigns. In 2010, The Hurt Locker beat Avatar to Best Picture after spending $5m, but this year's race is close, and Warner Bros (Argo) and Disney (Lincoln) both have sizeable war chests.
Members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, for example, were given four Lincoln-themed books – including a Civil War-era recipe book – ahead of the Critics' Choice Awards, at which the film went on to win prizes for Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score. Universal sent the same set of voters an iPod shuffle containing the Les Misérables soundtrack.
Subscribers to industry journal The Hollywood Reporter recently received a free glossy, promo magazine for Silver Linings Playbook, as well as a "making of…" DVD. Elizabeth Gabler, the president of Fox 2000 Pictures, told the Los Angeles Times that her studio had made a "substantial" financial commitment to its awards campaign for Best Picture contender Life of Pi. "I know it's as much as we've ever spent," she said. The film's director, Ang Lee, is one of the favourites for Best Director.
"The 2013 race was wide open for a long time," said Jon Weisman, the awards editor for Variety, "whereas last year it boiled down to The Artist and The Descendants very quickly, and the year before that to The King's Speech and The Social Network. That didn't happen this year until the last few weeks. So perhaps more spending needed to be done to narrow the race."
The beginning of the Oscar arms race can be traced to 1999, when producer Harvey Weinstein was said to have spent $15m on an advertising assault that brought him a Best Picture award for Shakespeare in Love, blowing away Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. This year Weinstein hopes to cause another upset with Silver Linings Playbook.
The spending may sound ludicrous, but a boost from the Academy can send a film's box office soaring. Slumdog Millionaire had grossed $44m when it was nominated for Best Picture in 2009. After it won that Oscar (and seven others) it went on to earn $377m worldwide.
Much of the cost of an awards campaign goes on the lavish DVD packages sent to voters to persuade them to watch the films in contention. Then there's the cost of transporting and accommodating the filmmakers as they perform promotional duties. Television and billboard advertisements can cost six figures. A full-page advert in The Hollywood Reporter costs around $25,000, but the cover of Variety can be up to $80,000.Reuse content
