Well, I figured this movie was just going to end up overhyped like most movies... But if people on Facepunch, of all places, are praising it, it's gotta be good.
I'll go see it the next time I'm off work.
Well, I figured this movie was just going to end up overhyped like most movies... But if people on Facepunch, of all places, are praising it, it's gotta be good.
I'll go see it the next time I'm off work.
seriously, working at a cinema, this movie has been the bane of my fucking life right now.
The only thing i didn't like about the avengers was the team setup. You have THOR, DEMIGOD, CONTROLS THE MOTHER FUCKING LIGHTNING, IRONMAN, A BADASS IN A ROBO-SUIT MADE OF JETS AND ROCKETS, THE HULK, CAN FUCKING SMASH ANYTHING, and then you get... a guy with a bow and... um... some chick with a handgun.
I was honestly expecting Hawkeye and Black Widow to have a romantic relationship.
I was looking forward to this this movie since I saw Samuel L Jackson at the end of the first Iron Man, four years ago. Over the years, especially in the last six months i've been pumping myself up for an amazing movie. And I can safely say that it exceeded expectations.
Already one of my top 5 favourite movies.
I honestly didn't care for all of the movies leading up to The Avengers... I thought that they were all good, but were lacking something.
Also, when a new movie gets a huge number at the box office, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is the most watched movie in the box office of all time. Seriously, with ticket prices rising all the time, movies are constantly getting more and more money at the box office. A movie's popularity should be based off of how many ticket sales there are, rather than how much money it made.
Did anyone see both the bonus videos at the end? The very last one was so totally worth my 9 dollars. I'd say you will have to watch a 2 hour 30 min long preview before you get to see the real thing.
I saw the one that Reveals that villain dude that my friend tells me is from Fantastic Four but I didn't see a second one. Unless I have an awful memory.
the aliens' aftermath and the alien boss (skrull?) smiling at the thought of Earth being a worthy opponent but I think I missed the other one...
Seriously, whenever Thor channels lightning through his hammer, hnnnnnnnnng
Seen it 3 times, going for a forth later this week.
But piracy is killing the film industry!
The Avengers is an amazing film, though.
Seen this. Pretty good movie.
I still think Captain America is a cunt, though.
I don't know why people think this is a good movie - it was so bad that I slept through the majority of it
People have to consider how high ticket prices have risen in most places though which will contribute to this. Whilst it is a great film, i'm just throwing it out there.
It was Thanos. Your friend was probably thinking of Galactus, because Thanos isn't really from Fantastic Four. The second one was just them in that shawarma resteraunt Tony said he wanted to go to, just a tiny bit of humor.
My father promised that me and him'd go see it together this afternoon, we rarely spend time with each other so I think it'll be good for us. But he has to drop my step-sister back to her home which is 200 miles away, and that's after he finishes work, and I doubt he'd be back in time. Damn.
When I first went to see it, I was expecting something along the lines of Transformers 3: a crappy movie with a big budget. Keep in mind that I don't keep up with movie news, so I didn't know anything about it. I was incredibly blown away. The characters are engaging and all have personality. The plot is definitely more nuanced than I had initially expected. It's exciting and somehow still very funny.
It's kind of interesting how the billion dollar mark before recently was some sort of impossible goal, but now it's more or less a hallmark of a good movie. Before 2005 there was what, just Titanic? Now we got Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Avatar, and probably The Avengers.
The movie is good, and these kinds of sales are to be expected after such an impressive buildup.
I do have to recommend that you shouldn't go seeing it if you're expecting something new, it's generic and formulaic. While there's nothing bad about the movie itself, you may be disappointed if you were looking to see something different than your typical superhero movie, because it isn't any different.
"I enjoyed Spider-Man 2 and 3"
Choose one pal.
Also the new Spidey looks a lot less serious than Toby's Spidey. Have you seen the previews for it? Looks incredibly cash.
Also this film was awesome. Hulkster stole the show, and Thor finally got the awesome treatment he deserved. Not a dull moment in this flick, will definitely go see it again. Only complaint was the Power Rangers alien guy, didn't know what his deal was.
PS if you didn't see this movie in a "culturally enriched" part of town you missed out big time.
The superhero genre is far from dead.
I'm still waiting for the Captain Britain film.
his post is just as valid as any other in this thread
I watched the film, apart from having a strong shield and quite strong himself, what IS captain america's distinguishing quality?
Nearest movie theater is 2 hours away and I don't have any gas money.
Hulk is the best Avenger.
Was the movie any good?
Disagree-Didn't like
Thor and Iron man IMHO are the coolest.
I seriously want to see Wolverine VS Spiderman or something.
They need to make a massive brawl style game.

Ship Weight:0.13 Honeymark Acne Cream with Manuka Honey - 2 oz. (56.7g) Honeymark's Acne Cream with Manuka Honey is effective in eliminating acne and clearing clogged and infected pores. Discover the amazing, natural healing powers of Manuka Honey with Honeymark's Acne Cream with Manuka Honey. Indigenous to New Zealand, Manuka Honey is a natural healing source that helps to maintain healthy skin, even when other solutions fail. Take advantage of nature's best kept secret with Honeymark's Acne Cream with Manuka Honey. Honeymark's Acne Cream with Manuka Honey clears acne fast without drying out skin. Honeymark's Acne Cream prevents future acne breakouts and reduces redness. Honeymark's Acne Cream is made from all-natural ingredients. Best of all, Honeymark's Acne Cream is not sticky, oily or greasy. Active Manuka Honey is used as a natural, therapeutic agent, both internally and topically on the skin. Apitherapy, the name given to treatment with honey and other bee products, has been used by many different cultures throughout history. Such uses are now being rediscovered by a modern world in light of new research into the properties and uses of Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey has enjoyed growing acceptance by the academic and medical world as of late, and reports of Manuka honey's unique healing properties have proliferated in the press and media. Manuka Honey is produced by bees that gather pollen from the flowers of the Manuka tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand. The honey making process is enriched by the pollution-free environment of New Zealand. This special type of medical grade honey has been found to have extremely powerful healing properties. It is only thanks to clinical research, predominantly in the last decade, that they are now able to explain many of the therapeutic effects of Manuka Honey when used for medical purposes. Why Honey? Honey has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians used it and so have many other cultures through the ages. Even up to the second world war, honey was being used for its antibacterial properties in treating wounds. With the advent of penicillin and other antibiotic drugs in the twentieth century, doctors and other medical professionals were under the misconception that medicine was more effective than honey. However, recent case studies have indicated that certain types of honey (such as Active Manuka Honey) have been more effective in treating certain ailments, even more so than antibiotics. In all kinds of honey, hydrogen peroxide is produced from an enzyme that bees add to the nectar. It has been discovered that Manuka Honey seems to have the most healing properties due to plant-derived components. Active Manuka Honey Active Manuka Honey has been considered a remedy for many health conditions since ancient times. Manuka Honey is unique to New Zealand and contains non-peroxide antibacterial agents which can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause slow healing wounds. Medical Research Dr Peter Molan, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Waikato, has proven the natural antibacterial properties of Active Manuka honey during a decade of research at the university's Honey Research Unit. In laboratory tests, UMF Active Manuka Honey inhibited the growth of bacteria which causes many skin infections including antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE. Recent clinical trials at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, showed skin infections and wounds infected by "Golden staph" and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria responded well to Active Manuka Honey dressings. The leading authority on medical research on UMF rated Manuka Honey is the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. The director of the unit is Dr. Peter Molan, who has devoted the majority of his career to understanding the properties of Manuka Honey and its varied applications. Honeymark's Manuka Honey Featured on Dr. Oz 15 Reasons to use Manuka Honey for Medical Purposes Manuka Honey has no known side effects; Manuka Honey has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties; Manuka Honey creates a moist healing environment that allows new skin cells to grow across a healing wound flush with the surface of the wound, preventing deformity of the skin and scaring; Manuka Honey rapidly clears infection by destroying bacteria; Manuka Honey repairs damaged skin and regenerates new skin growth; Manuka Honey hastens the healing process; Manuka Honey eliminates malodor; Manuka Honey can boost energy and regulate blood sugar levels; The viscosity of Manuka Honey provides a protective barrier to prevent wounds from becoming infected; Manuka Honey causes scabs and dead skin cells to lift off the surface of the wound, leaving a clean healthy wound bed in which re-growth of tissue can occur; Manuka Honey stimulates the growth of tissue involved in the healing process; Manuka Honey stimulates the formation of new blood capillaries and the growth of fibroblasts that replace the connective tissue of the deeper layer of the skin and produce the collagen fibers that give strength to the repair; Manuka Honey has an anti-inflammatory action that relieves pain; Manuka Honey has antifungal properties; Manuka Honey is all-natural and organic. Unique Characteristics of Manuka Honey Only Manuka Honey provides non-hydrogen peroxide antibacterial components. Manuka Honey's antibacterial factor is unaffected by enzymes in the body that destroy hydrogen peroxide components. Manuka Honey is highly effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Manuka Honey maintains its potency even when diluted over 50 times as will happen when used on the body. Manuka Honey is unaffected by heat, light or aging. Manuka Honey does not require moisture or oxygen to be effective. Manuka Honey diffuses deep into skin tissue, making it possible to get to effected areas. Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a "slow-release" manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Manuka Honey can be diluted more than 100-fold and still halt the growth of bacteria. It contains an additional antibacterial component found only in honey produced from Leptospermum plants which has been called the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF™. There is evidence that the two antibacterial components have a synergistic action. Please note that due to FDA regulations, they are restricted as to what they can claim about honey's medical uses. Because Manuka Honey is a purely natural product, rather than an FDA recognized drug, medical claims are limited. However, they are permitted to include links in our website to external third-party sources of information on the benefits and research of Manuka Honey's medical use. About Honeymark Honeymark is an importer of Manuka honey and a distributor of natural Manuka honey products. They at Honeymark believe that Manuka Honey is an untapped resource that, once more recognized, will become widely accepted and regularly used. Their plans are to significantly increase their line of Manuka honey-based products in the future as well as develop relationships with distributors to allow our products to be purchased at various retail locations in addition to our online store. Honeymark will continue to be dedicated to improving the lives of our customers by producing the most innovative, highest quality Manuka honey products possible. Since Honeymark is based in the United States, shipping is easier, faster and less expensive than ordering Manuka honey directly from New Zealand. In addition, Honeymark products are manufactured using earth-friendly standards. Sustainable practices are a priority in every aspect of their operation. They also strive to maximize recycled content and recyclability of their packaging. All Honeymark products are: Made with active, medical-grade, certified UMF Manuka Honey from New Zealand Paraben Free Produced using all-natural ingredients Free of artificial coloring Free of synthetic fragrances Free of genetically modified organisms Free of mineral oils Free of artificial preservatives Cruelty free - no animal testing or animal ingredients Why use their products? The main reason is because they really work. Product efficacy is extremely important to us and, above all, they want their customers to recognize the quality that goes into their formulations. The term "Natural" is one of the most misused and misinterpreted words in their industry. When they say that they use natural ingredients, they mean that they are produced by living organisms, such as plants. They use these ingredients because they are safe, healthy and have phytochemical and biological activity that provides medicinal value to their products. Other manufacturers use synthetic or chemical-based ingredients because they are less expensive than plant-derived, botanical ingredients. This helps to improve their profit margins. They have a different philosophy. They believe that if they produce high-quality products that actually work really well and are good for you, more people will want to use them. This seems like a simple concept but there are still millions of people who use products every day that contain toxic and questionably unsafe ingredients. FAQ What is Honey? Honey is a saturated solution of sugar made by bees that collect nectar, which is a liquid secretion from flowers. The honeybees take this nectar back to their hives where they add enzymes to it and place it in wax cells called honeycombs. This is where it ripens to form honey. During the ripening process, the enzymes convert sucrose into glucose and fructose. Honey has been used for medical purposes for many years. However, with the advent of antibiotics, medical professionals were under the misconception that modern medicine was more effective than honey. New research is proving otherwise. What type of honey is in Honeymark products? Honeymark uses active, certified UMF Manuka honey in all its products. This is a medical-grade honey that has been proven to be effective in treating many types of health conditions. Even though Honeymark is a U.S. company, the Manuka Honey is imported from New Zealand. What is Manuka Honey? Manuka Honey is a special type of mono-floral honey which is produced by bees that gather nectar from the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush (also known as tea tree or Leptospermum scoparium) which is indigenous to New Zealand. Studies have found that Manuka Honey contains very powerful antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, making it extremely effective in treating a wide variety of health conditions. How does Manuka Honey work? All types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide which is produced when the bees add an enzyme to the nectar. Hydrogen peroxide is produced in a slow-release manner that is strong enough to be effective in destroying bacteria but low enough not to harm tissue. Manuka Honey is different in that it also contains plant-derived components, such as methylglyoxal and what some experts refer to as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). What is UMF? UMF is an acronym for 'Unique Manuka Factor' and is an antibacterial property which is present in Active Manuka Honey. UMF is a floral property that comes from the nectar of Manuka flowers and has been found to posses extraordinary healing powers. This antibacterial activity is not present in any other type of honey. Manuka Honey is tested and rated for its antibacterial potency. It is generally accepted that Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 10 or higher is appropriate for medical use. The higher the UMF rating, the higher the antibacterial activity. UMF is a measuring system that rates the antibacterial potency of Manuka Honey. The UMF is determined by comparing the antibacterial activity of a given honey with the antibacterial activity of antiseptic phenol (carbolic) using a standard lab test. For example, a UMF rating of 10 is equivalent to the potency of a 10% solution of phenol. The term "UMF" is a registered trademark of the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand. What's the Difference between UMF 10 and UMF 16? It may be easy to assume that Manuka Honey with a higher potency rating is more effective or that it works faster. However, this isn't necessary true. The fact is that UMF 10 and UMF 16 are both active, medical-grade honeys and both will yield the same medicinal results that people have come to expect of Manuka honey. It's true that UMF 16 is more potent than UMF 10. However, UMF 10 still has all of the same health benefits as UMF 16. In our own laboratory studies, we have destroyed the MRSA bacterium with Manuka Honey UMF 10 and that is the most resilient bacteria known to man. UMF 10 is more abundant and more readily available than UMF 16 which is why it's less expensive. Before you consider spending the extra money for the UMF 16, please know that the UMF 10 is appropriate for medicinal use and equally as effective as the UMF 16. How is Manuka Honey different from regular honey? Standard honey has been used in the past to heal wounds, primarily due to the fact that it keeps the wound moist and nurtures the growth of new tissue with important vitamins and amino acids. Honey also contains hydrogen peroxide which is a known antiseptic. Therefore, regular honey could theoretically be effective in treating wounds. However, standard honey looses most of its healing properties when it comes in contact with wound fluids. Another problem is that honey has high sugar content which can actually promote the growth of bacteria. Only Active Manuka Honey has additional antibacterial properties that have the ability to destroy the bacteria that are responsible for infecting wounds. Manuka Honey is also stable so there is no concern of it losing its potency or healing properties. There are a few major differences between ordinary honey and Manuka Honey. Only Manuka Honey provides non-hydrogen peroxide antibacterial components. Manuka Honey's antibacterial factor is unaffected by enzymes in the body that destroy hydrogen peroxide components. Manuka Honey is highly effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Manuka Honey maintains its potency even when diluted over 50 times, as will happen when used on the body. Manuka Honey is unaffected by heat or light. Manuka Honey does not require moisture or oxygen to be effective. Manuka Honey diffuses deep into skin tissue, making it possible to get to effected areas. The antimicrobial activity of Manuka Honey has been observed in many studies around the world. It has been discovered that Manuka Honey is effective in destroying the following bacterial and fungal microorganisms: Escherichia coli (E. coli) Staphylococcus aureus (Staph infections) Citrobacter freundii Proteus mirabilis Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella typhimurium Streptococcus faecalis Streptococcus pyogenes Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori, stomach ulcers) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Vanocomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) Research also indicates that Manuka Honey inhibits enzymes called cysteine proteases, which have been implicated in muscle-wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy, viral replication, tumor invasion and metastasis. If UMF Manuka Honey is considered to have active healing properties, why is it listed in the inactive ingredients list on the Honeymark website and labels? Even though Manuka Honey has medicinal value and is effective in treating a wide variety of different health conditions, honey is not yet considered to be an FDA recognized drug. Therefore, Honeymark is limited in terms of marketing Manuka Honey as a medicine or an active ingredient within the United States. Ministries of Health and other foreign FDA equivalents in other countries have already approved Manuka Honey as a medicine. Hopefully the U.S. will catch up soon. Can Manuka Honey destroy MRSA and heal Staph infections? There is documented evidence indicating that Manuka Honey is capable of destroying the MRSA bacterium. Bacteria has the ability to mutate and become resistant to elements that are attempting to destroy them, such as antibiotics. However, Manuka Honey destroys bacteria in a different manner, by drawing water out of the bacteria, making it impossible for the microbes to survive. To date, there has been no reported bacteria that has been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey. What is Methylglyoxal? Some scientists have reason to believe that Methylglyoxal may be one of the compounds responsible for the antibacterial action in Manuka honey. However, others believe that the Methylglyoxal level in Manuka Honey does not account for the antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey is due to synergy between Methylglyoxal and non-antibacterial components. This synergy accounts for half or more of the UMF activity. The antibacterial activity of Methylglyoxal is far less when it is in water than when it is in honey. It has less than half of the antibacterial activity that is seen when the same level is in Manuka Honey. This is scientific proof that the Methylglyoxal present in Manuka Honey does not account for the non-peroxide (UMF) antibacterial activity of Manuka Honey by itself . Increased levels of Methylglyoxal only add to the base level of activity, which is why the antibacterial activity of the honey does not increase in proportion to the level of Methylglyoxal . Can Manuka Honey be used to treat wounds or burns? Manuka Honey is one of the best treatments available for wounds and burns because it provides a moist, sterile environment for the regeneration of tissue. It also makes a soft barrier between the wound and bandages, preventing new tissue from being torn away when the dressing is changed. Manuka Honey is capable of destroying the bacteria the cause infection in wounds. It is especially useful in treating persistent, hard-to-heal wounds such as leg ulcers, bed sores and 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree burns that don't respond to conventional treatments, antibiotics or other traditional forms of medication. What are the special skin care characteristics of Manuka honey? Manuka Honey is a natural skin moisturizer that has the ability to draw water molecules into the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that act as a natural pain reliever, an antibacterial agent that can heal infections and antifungal properties that can eliminate ringworm and other fungal infections. Can children safely use Honeymark products? While medical professionals recommend that children less than 12 months old should not ingest honey of any kind, there is no harm in infants using honey topically on the skin. It is also perfectly safe to ingest honey if you are pregnant. Are Honeymark products animal friendly and cruelty free? Honeymark products are not tested on animals.

Altesino Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino 2007
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Brunello Montosoli has a deep ruby red color which turns into a garnet red with age. Its bouquet has outstanding character with hints of black cherry, blackberries, raspberries, violet, liquorice, vanilla and a slight accent of pink peppercorn. On the palate it reveals a dry, warm, velvety flavor, rich in substance and noble pedigree, ending with a warm note that lingers persuasively.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "Best Montosoli since 1997. Aromas of plum jam and cherries follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Pure fruit here. The purity to this wine is impressive. It is laser-guided in structure and fruit. Try in 2014"
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli shows fabulous depth and richness from start to finish. Tobacco, cedar, licorice, new leather and spices add complexity to the fruit in this beautifully textured, expressive Montosoli. Waves of fruit build through to the finish as this intense, rich Brunello shows off its pedigree. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. "
Wine Spectator - "Macerated cherry and earth notes mark this meaty, sanguine red. These components are offset by thick, dense tannins and the finish is compact. Requires time. Best from 2014 through 2027."
International Wine Cellar - "Medium fresh red. Red berries, minerals, spices and an exotic whiff of white fruits on the nose, along with complicating hints of leather and animal fur. Lush, sweet and sexy, showing a fine-grained, suave texture to the flavors of red fruits and leather. Quite full for an Altesino wine, in the ripe, rich style of the vintage. And a step up in intensity and structure from the 2007 classico. Finishes with utterly smooth tannins and terrific lingering perfume. These 2007s are worthy successors to Altesino's outstanding 2006s."

Altesino Winery
Though the worldwide reputation of Brunello has encouraged a certain conservatism among Montalcino estates, Altesino has always been an innovative leader. The estate pioneered the technique of aging its IGT wines in small French oak barrels, limiting the time spent in oak to enhance each wine's personality. The resulting wines were a groundbreaking improvement over those produced by traditional methods. No longer overwhelmed by wood, they were able to display the unique characteristics of the fruit, with softened tannins and perfect balance.
Not content to rest on its laurels, Altesino became the first Montalcino estate to introduce the concept of "cru" wines, made with a special selection of grapes from a single vineyard. Elegance, finesse, and a fruitier, richer style are the trademarks of Altesino's wines, and have earned the estate a position among the very top producers of Brunello. This achievement is even more impressive considering Brunello is perhaps the most recognized Italian appellation.
When the winery was purchased at the end of 2002 by the Angelini family, owners of nearby Tenuta Caparzo, winemaker Claudio Basla remained with the estate, emphasizing his commitment to maintaining Altesino's hard-earned reputation as a Montalcino institution and a global leader in innovative winemaking.

About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Computer Recommendations for the Class of 2018
Given the importance of access to networked information, the Law School's reliance on electronic communications, and the requirement that students take exams on computers, the Law School requires that all entering J.D. and LL.M. students own a notebook computer with a functioning wireless network card.
The Law School strongly recommends purchasing one of Cavalier Computers' school-approved and selected models for law students. The Law School and University IT departments do not offer extensive customer support for other models. Specific model and cost information for Law bundles available to the incoming Class of 2018 will be available on the Cavalier Computers website on or around May 1, 2015.
Cavalier Computers' "Law bundles" meet the Law School's computer specifications and come pre-configured with important software and services, such as Microsoft Office Professional, email, antivirus protection, a wireless card and the UVA home directory service.ĀVirginia Law students typically use their notebooks every day to take notes, conduct research and complete assignments throughout their law school career, making customer support crucial for stress-free computing.ĀThis causes a great deal of wear and tear on the components and accessories attached to their notebooks. Even the most fastidious of notebook owners is likely to encounter a situation that requires support or repair. The Law bundles come with a customized three-year service and support plan that minimizes downtime and provides a secure and updated computing platform.Ā
Law bundles come in both Mac and Dell PC form, although there are slight differences in warranty support available from each manufacturer. While most routine Macbook repairs can be performed by Cavalier Computers in Charlottesville, there is a possibility that serious Macbook repairs will need to be shipped off and performed by Apple, which does not occur with the Dell models. Also, Apple DOES NOT currently offer Accidental Damage Coverage for Macbooks, so any accidental drop or spill repairs will have to be paid for by the student. As a comparison, the Dell Latitude laptops include full CompleteCare accidental damage coverage and more hardware items can be serviced directly by Law School staff. Aside from generally quicker repair turnaround, one large advantage of purchasing either Law Bundle model is access to a loaner laptop when necessary repairs lead to extended computer downtime. If a Macbook loaner is not available, you will be able to borrow from our Dell Latitude loaner pool. Students who do not purchase a bundle WILL NOT be eligible for a loaner laptop from our pool of loaners and will have to arrange laptop hardware repair and replacement on their own.
To see this year's Cavalier Computers offerings, go to www.uvastudentcomputers.com [updated bundles for the Class of 2018 will not be listed until May 1].
If you have any questions or concerns about the Law bundle program, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you do not care for our two dedicated Law bundle options, you are welcome to order any of the Cavalier Computers laptops and still qualify for hardware support and a loaner laptop. This includes undergraduate options once they are released. We will not have the same specialized knowledge of these other models; you will not be able to get an identical model as a loaner and you will not be allowed to customize the warranty and software of these other models to fit your needs as a Law student but we will do our best to otherwise support these other models.
The Law School's Financial Aid Office will increase a student's budget up to $2,500 toward the cost of any notebook computer purchased on or after May 1, 2015 upon request from the student and submission of supporting documentation (i.e., sales receipt or PC vendor's price quote) to the Financial Aid Office. This increase is available only to J.D. candidates.
Law School Bundles and Customer Support
University and Law School IT staff provide complete hardware, software and wireless network support for Law School Bundles. If a problem with a bundle notebook stems from a hardware failure, the Law School help desk will provide a loaner notebook to the student until repairs are completed by Cavalier Computers, typically within one business day. If the problem is related to the software that comes with the system, the Law School help desk will work with the student to fix the problem and also will loan a notebook if needed. (More)
Other Computers
The Law School cannot provide extensive software, hardware, or wireless network support for notebooks that are not Law School bundles. Students with non-Law bundles:
- Should be prepared to use "for fee" third-party vendor and/or manufacturer services.Ā
- Will not have access to Law School loaner notebooks and may have to rent or borrow a notebook if they have computer problems.

Apple Peeler-Corer | Williams-Sonoma
I love my apple corer-peeler-slicer! It was a gift over 15 years ago, and I still use it often. Whether you just want to eat sliced apples or are baking a pie, this this makes the work fun. I promise that one try and you'll be making crisps and pies just as an excuse to play with this! It happens every time I use it in front of a friend. Advice: get this version with the suction base. The clamp version s not as sturdy, I've found. And not all tables can accommodate the clamp. I know it seems silly to buy a kitchen gadget that only serves one purpose and for which a knife can do the job. But this makes life so much easier, and it's FUN! It is worth every penny! You can also use it to peel and slice potatoes.

The 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight was created by legendary Raymond Loewy with its final design touches added by Virgil Exner. It was an instant classic and its bullet-nose front has become one of the most iconic American automotive designs.
"The Studebaker's Starlight coupe – sold in both low-priced Champion and luxurious Commander model lines – was the most special iteration of all postwar Studebakers and tested one's credulity," Automobile Magazine's June 2009 issue penned. "The rear window wrapped around to meet the B-pillars, as the C-pillars were dispensed with entirely. Rear-seat passengers were treated to the equivalent of a Cinemascope-styled picture window.
The body style was and is nothing short of sensational and continued to be offered when the freshened bullet-nose design debuted. If ever there were a Studebaker to, so to speak, out-Studebaker all others, it would be the '50-'51 Starlight." The 1951 model offered an enlarged grille made flush with the body and by its all-new V-8 under the hood. The 120-horsepower engine lasted through the end of the company's car-building days in the 1960s.
Studebaker owners, including those with Starlight Coupes, were pleased with their automobiles, as indicated by a 1951 customer survey taken by Popular Mechanics. Though even some owners thought the car's styling was "slightly radical, the majority were very happy with the automobile's performance, superior visibility, the rare need for maintenance and easy handling. Paired with a standard three-speed manual or optional three-speed Automatic Drive, the 1951 Starlight reached 100 miles per hour with ease and without rattling or jerking. It also gave the driver 28 miles per gallon.
America's Car Museum's 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe was restored by Dick Hannah Dealerships in Vancouver in 2009 and was frequently on display at the dealership's showroom before it was added to the LeMay collection. Dick Hannah Dealerships has been a family owned business since 1949, serving Vancouver and Portland for generations.

Peter Frampton Explains Phone-Throwing Incident
Listen to Peter Frampton Radio on iHeartRadio
Peter Frampton says he was "making a statement" when he took a fan's cellphone during a recent concert and hurled it toward the back of the stage.
The rocker tells USA Today concerts are about the live experience, not seeing a performer on a device "as if you're in your armchair watching a video." He adds that cellphone camera use is "very distracting" to the performer as well as concertgoers seated behind the photographers.
And while Frampton thought he was "going to be castigated" for the incident, and says he was "overwhelmed by the positive response" - particularly from other artists. He also admits he "shouldn't have done it." But the singer explains that he was trying to make a point, and the big, dramatic gesture is "rock and roll." He adds that the phone wasn't damaged, and was returned to the man - concert photos deleted - after the show.
The Indiana incident has also prompted Frampton to revise his "no photography" policy. He says he's now allowing audience members to take pictures during the first three songs. Peter adds that when he asks people to put the cameras down, he gets "applause every time."
Frampton is starting the "Guitar Circus" portion of his tour with a show in Jacksonville, Oregon Thursday with Buddy Guy and Robert Randolph.

Do you have any power saving settings on? If so , disable them all.
I also have heard that you can't have the wireless assistant on as well, as that causes connection problems like your experiencing. So turn that off as well.
Also ensure that all connection managers are killed off. This can cause problems as well.
If possible, try the 1.0dev version and see if that fixes the problem.
1. Madwifi-ng known issue: after some time (can be 5 minutes or 50 minutes or more), it doesn't report a packet anymore, you have to unload and reload all modules
2. When Airodump-ng doesn't get a packet from a client/AP anymore, it is removed from the screen after some time (but still shown in text file)
Hopefully, with luck, one of these ideas will fix your problem..

Thread: Benefits of co-sleeping

Benefits of co-sleeping
I have just come across this quote in the co-sleeping section of this site (http://www.pregnancy.com.au/resource...-bonding.shtml):
'Learning to love is an ongoing process for mother and baby and hormones continue to play an important role - day and night.' (Pinky McKay)
Wow! This resonates with my personal experience of co-sleeping. It has enabled me to bond with my baby - even in the early hours of the day. What do any fellow co-sleepers out there feel have been the main benefits of co-sleeping for them and their little one?
29th December 2011 05:03 AM #2
Co-sleeping enabled me to get more sleep while my baby demand breastfed through the night. I just loved the closeness and the bond that it created. I couldn't imagine parenting any other way.

Benefits of having my children in bed with me
Co-sleeping not only allows mum to get more sleep at night, but can also help regulate baby's breathing and has been associated with a reduced risk of SIDS.
It also helped my husband to bond with each of our babies. Every one of our children were in bed with us when they were young, and had no problem transitioning to their own bed when they were ready (or we were ready).
If my huband and I needed some intimate time alone, I would lay a blanket on the floor and breastfeed baby to sleep. When my husband and I were done, I'd pick baby up off the floor and put her in bed with us. This worked very well through the first 12 months and beyond.
It's all about getting creative and doing what works best for the entire family. The family bed (or co-sleeping) was a big blessing for us all.

Dietl to imams: "Call your cousin up there, Ali Baba Boo, and go by cab"
On the March 14 edition of Fox News' Your World With Neil Cavuto, Richard "Bo" Dietl, a private investigator and former New York City Police Department detective, asserted that a recent lawsuit [1] filed by six imams who were removed from a US Airways flight in 2006 could be a deliberate attempt to pressure the travel industry to employ laxer security measures, facilitating terrorist acts on airplanes. Dietl also suggested that instead of flying, passengers such as the aforementioned imams should "call their cousin up there, Ali Baba Boo, and go by cab."
After host Neil Cavuto claimed that, in light of the pending US Airways lawsuit, airlines may feel it is "not worth it" to remove people like the imams, Dietl stated that anyone who boards a plane and says something "off-color," be they "Arabic or not," will be "removed from that plane and that's the way ... we have to deal" with that. Dietl went on to question the motives of the imams on the US Airways flight: "Was this a dry run or was it this publicity, [where] they would've had the lawyer ready to go?"
From the March 14 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Well, now, you're afraid that airlines looking at this -- looking at a potential lawsuit, looking at losing a lot of money as a result -- are going to say, "not worth it."
DIETL: No, no. It's not going to happen like that. I just -- I'd like somebody to try and go on a plane and say something off-color. I don't care if you're Arabic or not; you're going to get removed from that plane and that's the way we have -- we have to deal with there's something going on. Was this a dry run or was it this publicity -- they would've had the lawyer ready to go? And they want to sue, so this way we back off, says we're able to slip things in. It's a little mentaltization [sic].
CAVUTO: Oh, now, that's -- that's interesting.
DIETL: Yeah, you think about that.
CAVUTO: So, you think that this sidetracks us when, in fact, that's setting up for the next --
DIETL: They came into the plane, the five -- five of them -- six of them traveled together. One sits in first class, two in the middle, the other guy's in the back. They order these extensions for the belt, they're talking about it. They're praying out loud on the plane, "Allah, Allah, Allah." Hey, if they don't like the plane, what they should just do. They should call their cousin up there, Mohammed. Take a taxi cab the next time. Stay off the damn plane.
DIETL: Hold on. The first-class guy jumped and went to the back, back and forth.
CAVUTO: That's right.
DIETL: They entered the plane. When the first class was boarding, all six of them come on. Unusual. You know what? Take a yellow cab. Call your cousin up there, Ali Baba Boo, and go by cab. All right?
CAVUTO: I'm not going to pursue that.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Columbia's Kathleen Barry and Harvard's Katherine Mills were recently awarded NCAA postgraduate scholarships among the 58 senior winter student-athletes across all three NCAA divisions to be awarded the prestigious scholarships during the 2010-11 season.
Barry is the second Lion in as many years to win the scholarship as fencer Jeff Spear received the same honor last year. Mills is the first Harvard student-athlete to receive the scholarship since rower Heather Schofield did in 2005. The Ivy League has totaled 206 athletes who have earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships through the winter season of the 2010-11 academic year.
To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade-point average of 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) or its equivalent, and must have performed with distinction as a member of the varsity team in the sport in which the student-athlete was nominated.
The student-athlete must have behaved, both on and off the field, in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics. The student-athlete also must intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a full-time or part-time graduate student.
The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship was created in 1964 to promote
and encourage postgraduate education by rewarding the Association's
most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in
NCAA championship and/or emerging sports. Athletics and academic
achievements, as well as campus involvement, community service,
volunteer activities and demonstrated leadership, are
An equitable approach is employed in reviewing each applicant's nomination form to provide opportunity to all student-athlete nominees to receive the postgraduate award, regardless of sport, division, gender or race. In maintaining the highest broad-based standards in the selection process, the program aims to reward those individuals whose dedication and effort are reflective of those characteristics necessary to succeed and thrive through postgraduate study in an accredited graduate degree program.

Is Ray J mocking Kanye West again?
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio | Listen to Ray J on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Reminding the planet that he "hit it first" wasn't enough ... 'cause Ray J went after Kanye West again last night ... and TMZ has the footage.
According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian's sex tape partner was leaving Tru in Hollywood last night when he started mocking K's airport meltdown ... which is interesting considering Ray recently released a song bragging about banging KK way before Kanye came into the picture.
Kanye hasn't really acknowledged Ray J's attempt at a beef yet. Think this will get his attention?

If you're looking for spiritual guidance and you don't happen to be picky about where you find it look no further than The Dogma of Cats: Feline Philosophies for a Fulfilling Life by Deb Snyder.
In a news release for her book, Snyder claims genuine value in looking to cats rather than other human beings for the elements of true happiness in life.
She cites as examples of these life-enriching behaviors long naps, affectionate cuddling, finding fun, forgiving easily and taking a dump in a laundry basket.
Note: That last one was my contribution to catma. Snyder is much more trusting when it comes to the wisdom of cats. She writes: "Would humans be better off if we stopped personifying our beloved pets and began instead to allow ourselves to be 'cat-ified'? How wonderful it would be to teach our children to look with us to our animal companions for guidance on happiness and heart-wisdom!"
Really? Heart-wisdom in cats?
I don't hate cats. I used to belong to one named Bob Valdez. In fact, he wrote my column when I was on vacation. From this experience, here are what I consider to be far more valid cat dogmas for today's selfish and materialistic world:
• Be suspicious of everything and overreact when anything startles you.
• Claw someone else's furniture to shreds for the hell of it.
• Stalk and ruthlessly murder anything smaller than you.
Look, I'm not saying that an animal can never be your spiritual guide or maharishi, only that I've never gotten any guidance from a cat that wasn't a felony.
For my book the one I'm never going to write other animals have served far better when it came to teaching me how to live in peace and harmony.
Honest Abe, a Tavaputs Ranch mule, taught me an extremely valuable life quality, one I wish I learned a long time ago: to be patient with the intellectually challenged.
Abe taught me that the stupider someone appears to be, the more surprised he'll be when Abe finally gets fed up, knocks him down and drags him down the road.
I didn't allow myself to be "mule-ified" that day. It was Abe's idea. And it worked. I'm much more cautious with large animals now.
From a dog named Elvis, I picked up the dangers of mindless joy. Namely, the happier I'm feeling, the less likely I'm paying sufficient attention.
One day, Elvis was so ecstatic about being let out of the car that he promptly leapt what appeared to be a low fence but was actually a guard rail on a bridge over a river.
He survived. He went in the river a simple-minded dog and came out a guru. It's just amazing how much heart-wisdom there is in vomiting up 5 gallons of spring runoff.
From a rattlesnake named Pike, I learned to be content with what I am because no matter how totally cool you are, someone is always going to hate you for it, especially if they didn't expect to find you in a box under a bed.
In the end you have to choose your own animal spirit guide, one that best suits the type of life you want to have. Considering how mine's turned out, I should have hung out more with pigs.

The bones of "Big Man"
(Source: Y. Haile Selassie et al./PNAS 2010)
"Whatever we've been saying about afarensis based on Lucy was mostly wrong."
Much like the revolution of modern astronomy in the late 1400s and early 1500s dissolved the notion that the Sun revolved around the Earth, a renaissance in paleontology is dissolving virtually any doubt that remained about man's origins. Another new discovery has just been completed, the latest of several high profile publications over only the last year.
new skeleton
is a male
Australopithecus afarensis
, which has been discovered in Ethiopia's Afar region. The skeleton joins the celebrated "Lucy" skeleton, unearthed by paleoanthropologists in 1974, and a child skeleton unearthed last year.
The ancient male, an ancestor of modern man, lived approximately 3.6 million years ago in the plains of Eastern Africa, according to several dating techniques. Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who led the team, says the skeleton offers some major new insights into the species.
The skeleton has been nicknamed "Big Man" as it towers at 5 to 5½ feet tall over the much shorter 3½-foot-tall Lucy, who lived 3.2 million years ago. That large height deviation raises questions over which of the specimen is the norm in terms of height. The new skeleton was unearthed between 2005 and 2008 at a dig site only 48 km from where Lucy was found.
The skeleton also reveals new insights into the bone structure of the species. Big Man's 32 discovered bones reveal long legs, a narrow chest, and a inwardly curving back. All of these indicate that he walked much like a human and enjoyed a ground-based lifestyle. This is very different from the awkward gait that Lucy was thought to have. Lucy also had been thought to climb trees a great deal.
The shoulder blade of Big Man is quite different from chimpanzees or gorillas. And the ribs also appear human-like. All of these factors indicate a far different chest shape than the chimplike, funnel-shaped chest that reconstructions of the Lucy skeleton indicated.
While confusing perhaps in context with Lucy, the conclusion that ancient hominids were
chimplike is consistent with the analysis of the
Ardipithecus ramidus
that was conducted last year.
Professor Haile-Selassie states, "Whatever we've been saying about
based on Lucy was mostly wrong. The skeletal framework to enable efficient two-legged walking was established by the time her species had evolved."
Carol Ward of the University of Missouri in Columbia seems to agree with these conclusions, stating, "This beautiful
specimen confirms the unique skeletal shape of this species at a larger size than Lucy, in what appears to be a male."
While the discovery may have cleared up debate about whether Lucy was more chimplike or humanlike, the debate about gait is sure to continue. Harvard University anthropologist Daniel Lieberman states, "There's nothing special I can see on this new find that will change anyone's opinion."
Anthropologist Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, however, believes that the discovery shows Big Man to be a good runner, which could have made the 3.6-million-year-old footprints found more than 30 years ago at Laetoli, Tanzania. Among the evidence supporting this hypothesis are Big Man's pelvis supported humanlike hamstring muscles and human-like arched feet.
The full study on the Big Man discovery is published
in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
A separate 3.3 million year old skeleton of a 3-year-old baby female
A. afarensis
was presented four years ago. Nicknamed "Selam" (the word for "peace" in several African languages), the near-complete skeleton was found in 2000 south of the Awash river by a team led by Zeresenay Alemseged of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
The paper on that discovery was published in a 2006 edition of
and can be found
These discoveries add to the aforementioned recent discovery of "Ardi", the
discovery of
Australopithecus sediba
, and the completion of an early
draft of the Neanderthal genome
. All of these wonderful discoveries have helped to blow away the fog of uncertainty surrounding human evolution and offered a much clearer picture of how man arrived at its current form after a slow process of evolution that took millions of years.

2) Learn to research / search for your hardware problems
Hi Guys...
I am running BT4-Beta from a .iso Image in a VirtualBox OSE Virtual Machine Inside Ubuntu 9.04.
But I am having trouble configuring BT4-Beta to recognise my WLAN card and perform any PenTests!.
Strangely, I can surf the web after using the '/etc/init.d/networking start' Command.
So I know that my WLAN card is listening!!
I have a Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g WLAN Card.
Here is the output from 'lshw -C network' (Ran from inside ubuntu)
(NOT In VirtualBox OSE!!)
To show my WLAN adapter I have on my Laptop::-
description: Wireless interface
product: BCM4312 802.11b/g
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0

But if I run 'iwconfig' in BT4-Beta running inside VirtualBox OSE Virtual Machine, I get this output:
lo no wireless device
eth0 no wireless device
eth1 no wireless device
What can I do to rectify this. I would appreciate any help on this please!!
Cheers in advance...
2) Learn to research / search for your hardware problems
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Thank's for the reply wyse.
You're right about me not reading enough about future issues (Point Taken)...
Too be honest most of what I have read has been a load of gibberish and Bollocks!
I am more of a trial and error man.
As for me and researching. thats exactly why I'm here.
Can you suggest a good WLAN card suited to the above tasks?
I am out to purchase one soon.
The WLAN card I have at the moment is built into my laptop. So I need a removable one. (If you can name a couple??)
Would the card I have at present work if I was not to use it in A Virtual environment?
The best information security training, period.
Welcome to the forums but please search next time.
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
Hi vvpalin.
I want A new WLAN card Not only for running In A Virtual Environment.
But Mainly for A Non Virtual Environment.
I should have been A little clearer.

College Football Recap - 9/12/11
Monday, September 12, 2011
COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECAP - 9/12/11Here's a brief look at the highlights of week two of the college football season, a week which saw a couple of big SEC games, but not a lot of surprises - at least not in the Top 25. Overall, 23 games were decided by seven points or less as college football turned in another weekend of the thrills that have its popularity surging. The rankings used in this recap are the preseason AP Rankings from prior to the games.
GAMES OF THE WEEK#12 South Carolina 45, Georgia 42: A game that could have SEC title ramifications features seven lead changes and plenty of excitement, but the Gamecocks take advantage of critical turnovers and star running back Marcus Lattimore (180 rushing yards and the go-ahead touchdown with 3:28 to go) to keep on track to defend their SEC East title.
Michigan 35, Notre Dame 31: Despite both being un-ranked, these two traditional powers put on an amazing show on Saturday night in the first game under the lights at the Big House. Notre Dame built a commanding 24-7 lead going into the fourth quarter, but Denard Robinson engineers four fourth-quarter touchdown drives, including throwing the game-winning pass with two seconds to go. The Wolverines had taken the lead for the first time on a Robinson TD pass with 1:12 to go, but the Irish battled right back, scoring themselves with 30 clicks on the clock. UPSETTINGArizona State 37, #21 Missouri 30 (OT): Missouri knots the game with a late touchdown strike from James Franklin, but a missed 48-yard field goal at the end of regulation gives the Sun devils new life and they capitalize in overtime as Brock Osweiler tosses the game-winning TD.
#25 TCU 35, Air Force 19: After being upended by Baylor last weekend, the Horned Frogs get back on track by posting their 18th straight Mountain West victory with a workmanlike performance on the road.
#11 Virginia Tech 17, East Carolina 10: Picked by some to make the Allstate BCS Championship game, the Hokies have to come from behind to hold off East Carolina behind 138 rushing yards from David Wilson.
#15 Ohio State 27, Toledo 22: The Buckeyes nearly had their streak of 90� years without a loss to a state opponent come to an end, however, Toledo had 14 penalties, a missed field goal, a botched snap on another field goal and then an interception in the final minutes to allow Ohio state to escape.
Auburn 41, #16 Mississippi State 34: While this is an upset as far as standings, it's tough to see a loss to the defending national champ as a full upset - Auburn extends its winning streak to 17 games by stuffing Mississippi State's Chris Relf with a goal-line stand on the final play of the game.
#24 Texas 17, BYU 16: With BYU in control of the game, Mack Brown and Longhorns are forced to use three different quarterbacks before Case McCoy, the younger brother of former Manning Award winner Colt, sparking the victory with a fourth-quarter scoring drive.
#8 Wisconsin 35, Oregon State 0: The Badgers register their first shutout since 2009, holding the Beavers to 23 rushing yards and just 284 total as Russell Wilson completes 17-of-21 yards with three touchdowns.
#17 Michigan State 44, Florida Atlantic 0: After a sluggish opening week performance, Michigan State rolls to victory, holding the Owls to just 48 yards and one first down.
#18 Florida 39, UAB 0: The Gators hold UAB to just 212 yards while Chris Rainey has another big game, running for 119 yards and a touchdown.
#9 Oklahoma State 37, Arizona 14: Brandon Weeden explodes for 397 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Cowboys crush the Wildcats in a Thursday night game.
#14 Arkansas 52, New Mexico 3: The Razorbacks outgain the Lobos, 632-297, behind a solid first-half effort from quarterback Tyler Wilson, who had to sit the second half due to concussion-like symptoms.
#5 Florida State 62, Charleston Southern 10: E.J. Manuel passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns as the Seminoles roll to victory in a warm-up for their showdown with No. 1 Oklahoma on Saturday.
#19 West Virginia 55, Norfolk State 12: The Mountaineers actually trailed, 12-10, at the break, but then they scored on their first seven possessions of the second half with Geno Smith leading the charge by passing for 271 yards and four scores. INTO THE RANKINGS#21 Auburn: See above.
#22 Arizona State: See above.
MANNING AWARD STARS OF THE WEEKWhile 31 quarterbacks are on the Manning Award Watch List, additional players may be added later in the season and every quarterback in the country remains eligible for the honor. Here's a look at the best performances of the second week of the football season: Ryan Aplin, Arkansas State (19-of-21, 274 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) Aplin was near-perfect in a blowout victory over Memphis as he posted the second-best completion percentage in Sun Belt Conference history, connecting for 274 yards and three scores in essentially one half of action. Tyler Bray, Tennessee (34-of-41, 405 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT) Bray leads the Volunteers to a blowout victory over Cincinnati, throwing for a career-high 405 yards and four TDs while also rushing for another score. Steele Jantz, Iowa State (24-of-36, 271 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT) Jantz connects on four touchdown passes, including the game-tying strike with 1:17 to go in regulation, forcing overtime where the Cyclones would snap a three-game losing streak to their archrival. Marshall Lobbestael, Washington State (24-of-32, 361 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT) Lobbestael sets career-highs with 361 yards and five touchdowns as he leads the Cougars to a 59-7 blowout victory over UNLV - WSU had three FBS wins in the last three years by a total of 23 points. Andrew Luck, Stanford (20-of-28, 290 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) Luck rolls to another great performance, matching his career-high with four TD passes in three quarters of play as he leads the Cardinal to a rare East coast victory over Duke. Brock Osweiler, Arizona State (24-of-32, 353 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT) Osweiler connects on an 11-yard touchdown strike in overtime to finish with 353 passing yards and three scores as well as a running TD as he leads the Sun Devils to a 37-30 upset of nationally-ranked Missouri. Darron Thomas, Oregon (13-of-19, 295 yards, 6 TDs, 0 INT) Thomas matches a school record with six touchdown passes, including a 69-yarder and a 44-yarder, as the Ducks get back on track by crushing Nevada.
UPCOMING GAMES (current AP Rankings)
#3 LSU at #25 Mississippi State (Thursday): Mississippi State's loss to Auburn on Saturday takes some of the luster of this rare Thursday night SEC affair, but it remains a huge SEC West game with LSU having to prove itself on the road. It will also mark the first time in history that both the Tigers and Bulldogs were ranked entering a game.
#1 Oklahoma at #5 Florida State: The latest "biggest game of the year" features a pair of top five teams with their sights set on the Allstate BCS Championship in New Orleans. Oklahoma crushed the Seminoles in Norman last year (47-17), but FSU has much more experience in its second year under Jimbo Fisher.
#17 Ohio State at Miami: History may be the biggest drawing card for this game as both teams are reeling from NCAA investigations, however, interim head coach Luke Fickell has kept Ohio State undefeated and ranked despite a host of player suspensions.
#21 Auburn at Clemson: Head coach Gene Chizik has pulled out a pair of magical wins to extend the Tigers' undefeated streak to 17 games, but last year's battle with Clemson was a defining moment in the season as Auburn held off the tenacious other Tigers in a 27-24 overtime thriller.
#24 Texas at UCLA: Texas hopes that it's back, but results have not been dominant. UCLA coach Rick Nueheisel can cool a considerably hot seat with a home victory over the Longhorns, who suffered their first loss of 2010 to the Bruins in Austin.
#15 Michigan State at Notre Dame: Michigan State has plans to win the Big Ten title outright after sharing the pennant last year, while Notre Dame fans look squarely in the face of a potential 0-3 start for a team that had high expectations.
Tennessee at #16 Florida: Florida has looked solid (giving up a total of three points) against less-than-stellar opposition; now Will Muschamp gets his first SEC test as Tennessee and fast-improving quarterback Tyler Bray come to town.

Amazon Rolls Out New Program Lineup, Tested by Two Million Viewers
Amazon.com delivered its verdict on a batch of 10 television pilots watched by more than two million people, announcing Monday that it has picked up two dramas, two comedies and two kids shows from the bunch.
Among the shows the company will add to the streaming video service that comes with $99 annual subscriptions to its Prime shipping program include "Bosch," a drama based on the detective novels by Michael Connelly; "The After," which follows strangers trying to survive in a violent world; "Mozart in the Jungle," a comedy about the classical music world; and "Transparent," a dramatic comedy about a Los Angeles family that stars Jeffrey Tambor and Judith Light.
As it did on an earlier round of pilots, Amazon weighed feedback and ratings provided by users. This time twice as many people tuned in. "We got a lot of feedback," said Roy Price, director of Amazon studios. "People are responding to the pilot system format and are contributing."
Left out of the mix: "Rebels," a comedy about the pro football world that wasn't picked up, and "Betas," a Silicon Valley show about friends who launch a tech startup, which hasn't been renewed for a second season. ("Alpha House," a political comedy starring John Goodman, did get a second season order.)
Mr. Price said there's still hope for the shows that didn't get picked up. "We'd love to figure out something to do," he said, noting that "Betas" has a loyal audience. "It's not definitely over forever." How exactly could the shows be saved? Could they be licensed to another TV network? Or offered as part of an ad-supported video service? Or just reworked to do better on Prime? He wouldn't say. "I am open-minded as to how to figure it out," Mr. Price said.
Unlike Hulu, Amazon's streaming service doesn't normally have ads. But the pilots – which were available to all users, not just Prime subscribers – carried a sponsorship from insurance provider Geico Corp. Mr. Price said he has no "philosophical opposition" to putting ads in Amazon content. "Whatever can deliver the most valuable experience to Amazon customers, if it helps shows get made," he said.
Amazon doesn't have release dates yet for the new shows. And the company isn't necessarily wedded to the approach it has taken thus far of releasing three episodes to all Amazon users, then one episode per week to Prime subscribers after that.
Mr. Price said the "binge" model popularized by Netflix – in which an entire season is released at once so viewers can devour it all in one sitting if they choose – is a possibility in at least some cases. "We could certainly experiment and try one or two shows one way, and others another way," he said. "Some people like to get it all at once."
Here, adapted from Amazon's own words, are the descriptions of the six series the company has ordered:
The After: An hour-long drama from Chris Carter, the legendary creator of The X-Files, it follows eight strangers who are thrown together by mysterious forces and must help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation. Aldis Hodge, Andrew Howard, Arielle Kebbel, Jamie Kennedy, Sharon Lawrence, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Adrian Pasdar and Louise Monot will be returning to star in their roles.
Bosch: An hour-long drama based on Michael Connelly's best-selling book series about a relentless LAPD homicide detective. Mr. Connelly and Eric Overmyer will co-write the series, which features Titus Welliver, Annie Wersching and Jamie Hector. Henrik Bastin and Fabrik Entertainment (The Killing) are producing.
Mozart in the Jungle: A comedy about sex, drugs and classical music that shows what happens behind the curtains can be just as captivating as what happens on stage. The cast includes Gael Garcia Bernal, Saffron Burrows, Lola Kirke, Malcom McDowell, Bernadette Peters and Peter Vack. The series will be written by Oscar-nominee Roman Coppola, actor and musician Jason Schwartzman, Tony-nominated writer and director Alex Timbers, and Oscar-nominee Paul Weitz.
Transparent: A dramedy about a Los Angeles family with serious boundary issues from Emmy nominee Jill Soloway and starring Jeffrey Tambor, Judith Light, Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass. Transparent is an exploration of sex, gender and family that begins when a dramatic admission causes everyone's secrets to spill out. The pilot received wide critical acclaim, was hailed as "the best pilot I've seen in years," and named to numerous must see lists.
Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street: A live-action adventure show created by David Anaxagoras, a pre-school teacher and first-time writer who was discovered through Amazon Studios' open-door submission process. The series is a coming-of-age tale that centers around Gortimer, his two best friends Ranger and Mel, and their exploits on Normal Street—an ordinary suburban neighborhood that has a hint of something magical just beneath the surface.
Wishenpoof!: Written by Angela Santomero, creator of Blue's Clues, Creative Galaxy, and the Emmy-nominated literacy series, Super Why!, Wishenpoof! is an animated series that revolves around Bianca, who has "wish magic." That means if she wishes to play under the sea then—Wishenpoof!—she's a mermaid, swimming around with the sea horses. Bianca uses her wish magic to help others and learns to solve life's problems in her own creative way.

The 2012 NFL Playoffs of Beer
Depending on whether you're staying in or going out, this would be the time to prep supplies. If hiding from the early revelers, start chilling champagne and stocking the bar. A gin-and-tonic bar is always welcome, as is a thermos of something hot. Stock the bar with a classic London gin, like Beefeater, and an alternative, like Junipero, alongside orange bitters and individual bottles of tonic (say, Q Tonic) so the bubbles stay fresh. Keep out a bowl of whole citrus: grapefruit, lemons, and oranges, plus a couple of good vegetable peelers so guests can peel their own garnishes. For the hot stuff, fill a samovar with this recipe below. Yes, in case you're wondering: Dirty cocktail monikers are back! Just trust me. (If you don't have a samovar or a heated thermos, serve from a pot on the stove.)
By Leslie Pariseau and Anne Louise Marquis
• 1 quart whole milk
• 1 cup very good hot chocolate powder like Ghirardelli or Scharffen Berger
• 1 cup Kahlua (don't be ashamed — it's made for chocolate and bad behavior)
• 3/4 cups black strap rum
• 1/4 cup Combier
Heat to just under a simmer and then keep over heat without letting bubble. Serve in individual mugs and garnish each with mini marshmallows or whipped cream, preferably both and lots of them.
If you're headed out into the time-stamped evening, have a plan, order a car service, and toss a phone charger and some extra cash into your date's purse (unless she has a tendency to Irish-goodbye or start mid-evening brawls). Oh, and remember to bring that chilled champagne.
It's early, and you're ready to make moves. I understand. 7 o'clock is, to some, synonymous with martini hour. I'm often the instigator, inquiring if it's not too early for a glass of bubbly or a Negroni because, yes, it is about damn time. But this is an evening for restraint, at least until midnight. Keep your shirt on. Start with an Americano or another Campari-based cocktail, like the Rome with a View, created by Michael McIlroy of Milk & Honey in New York City. Sip.
Rome with a View
• 1 oz Campari
• 1 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 3/4 oz simple syrup
Shake briefly, strain into ice-filled collins glass, top with club soda, and garnish with orange wedge.
