Post subject: What's the worst pain you've ever felt?
This weekend, I was breaking apart a 300 lb cement sink in my basement with a pretty large claw hammer. I know, there are better tools for the job, but it was a moment of inspiration. In order to remove this huge dual-tub cement sink and dolly it up a flight of stairs, I was going to have to break the thing into about 8 pieces.
I put on eye protection and just started pounding it. When I was about 3/4ths done with smashing this thing to smithereens, I swung the claw hammer, missed the sink and hit myself squarely in the
. I tried to scream, but nothing would come out. It hurt so badly that I was frozen for about 2 minutes just holding my shin. Later, it puffed up in a knot the size of a tennis ball. I'm lucky it didn't break my leg.
I'm doing better today, but, I'm trying to remember anything in my life that hurt more than that (and I've made many trips to the emergency room), and that's got to rank up at the top.
So, what's the most pain you've ever felt?

It's a toss up between the sore throat I had when I was the lucky recipient of Mono in high school and the pain of having four impacted wisdom teeth removed at once.
Sad state of affairs.

Attempted root canal on a living tooth.
I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

Mine would be catching a paintball in the sack...
It wasn't pretty. I was totally immobilized for about 10 minutes. I couldn't even walk off the field. When my buddy asked what had happened, I just gave him the rest of my ammo, and asked him to go away. Oh - I never want to feel that pain again. I haven't played paintball since. If I do again, I'll be wearing a cup. Hope I'm not shootin' blanks; I'd like kids...

When my dog was but a pup, I tried taking him on a run... he on his leash, me on my bicycle. It was working great, and we were getting up some pretty good speed, when he suddenly decided he HAD to stop and take a poop. Of course, being attached by a tight leash, I came to a sudden stop as well. Broken ribs don't feel too good.

About 15 years ago, I had to have my tear ducts opened in my eye doctor's office. I don't know if you even wanna hear about how they do that... let's just say it involves a long needle, and no anesthetic (other than eye drops, which only dull the very surface of your eyeball so you don't blink so much).
That was the worst thing I ever felt... yes, even worse than childbirth.

I ran a 5K race on a golf course with a sore leg, later found out it was a stress fracture. But ran my PB for the year, and 3 days later, played hockey on that leg. Had to have someone carry my bag in and out of the rink because I was on crutches, stopped a penalty shot that game. You have to do what you have to do when you're the only goalie.
A few years before that, at a hockey camp, stopped about a 85 MPH slapshot with my cup, which shattered, and goalie cups are not small. I took to wearing 2 after I saw blood coming from places it shouldn't.

I've always had a very high tolerance for pain, so this will take some thinking.
When I broke my leg when I was 5, I walked (well, hobbled) over 30 ft to the neighbors door to tell her I was hurt, which resulted in her passing out, due to the bone sticking out of my leg. Hehehe, she fell. . . .(I was 5
Well, she fell on ME, giving me a black eye, and a bruised rib.
I spent alot of time in the hospital after that, getting my leg, knee, etc fixed. Several Surgeries when you are 5 can give you a different exposure to the thing called pain. I had over 300 stitches in me before 1976 ....... and then -
I broke my collar bone at 7, and didnt tell my mom for about a week. She didnt like me playing hockey anyway, so I didnt want to screw it up. Bad idea. Broke nose 2 times before and in Jr High. Broke my arm crashing a 3 wheeler when I was 14. Had to walk a mile home afterwards, then go to a WI hospital on Memorial day.........
Collar bone again (and again) Nose another 2 times, stiches galore -
concusions, Ive broken 2 different fingers, 1 Toe... Lost parts of 2 front teeth from a hockey stick, and so on.
I dont know. Like my Dad always said: "Pain is Relative"
I'll have to think on this, and see if I can muster up something.
Reading the above posts hurt me more than anything in recent memory tho !!

FZ200 with Canon Tele-converter?
Mr B2,
I have got the adapter barrel for the FZ200 and an old Canon 1.7X add-on lens I used to use with a Canon G5. I'm just awaiting the necessary step-up ring 55-58mm, as Mr Levine describes.
If and when that step-up ring arrives (it is already 2 days late) I'll try the Canon lens on the FZ200 and take a test shot or three if it fits well enough. I'll post them here.
Incidentally, I also have a Canon 0.7X wideangle adaptor lens with a 58mm thread. It too was meant for the Canon G5, which (as I recall) had a max wideangle of 35mm. This lens will probably go on the FZ200 via the adapter but I would expect it to have a heavy vignette at the FZ200 25mm widest angle. I'll give it a try anyway.
But don't hold your breath as I see no postman on the horizon bearing that step-up ring.
SirLataxe, doing a lot of FZ200 fiddlin' about just now.

I was listening to these videos over Christmas that my daughter posted on the Net. In fact, for a variety of reasons (she lives in Ireland), I found them quite by accident and was very moved by them. I thought they were too good for just me alone to hear, and wanted to share them with my friends and audience.
She used to sing in karaoke a few years back, winning many competitions, before marriage, family and career as a psychologist took over. Now she has returned to her first love and I am thrilled to bits because that voice cannot be hidden. It has to reach the world somehow. I thought I would do my little bit as proud Mum to enhance the journey.
This is my favourite, called 'Black is the Colour'.
Christy Moore's Version of Black is the Colour (of my true love's hair). Although it's origins are not Irish, Christy Moore's version of Black is the Colour is firmly set in the hearts of the Irish people and anyone who loves traditional irish music. Thanks to folksy gerry on the guitar and the other 5 people in the Reel Inn bar!
And this is the link to all the videos. What is your favourite?
Enjoy! And give her some feedback if you wish.

More than 130 Companies Unite to Defend U.S. Solar Industry
- Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy Represents More than 13,000 Solar Jobs Across U.S. -
Dec 01, 2011, 08:00 ET from Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE) announced today that dozens more new companies have joined the coalition in the last week, ahead of a vote at the International Trade Commission, to urge policymakers to quickly find an equitable resolution to the SolarWorld anti-trade complaint. In its first week since its founding on November 8, CASE grew from 25 companies to 52 companies. In its second week, CASE doubled again to about 100 companies. Now, in just three weeks, CASE represents 132 companies and 13,134 direct solar employees at those solar firms, or 13% of the U.S. solar industry workforce.
"We demand a resolution to this trade dispute before irreparable damage is done to the great progress that has been made in the domestic solar industry towards making affordable solar energy a reality," said George Hershman, Vice President of Swinerton Builders Renewable Energy and a new CASE member from one of the nation's longest established and most reputable construction companies. "We have over 1,100 employees working across the country who would be negatively impacted by higher solar panel prices. Let's not move backwards when together we can and should be making huge strides forward."
CASE member companies employ solar professionals across every major region and in more than two dozen states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia, among others.
"The rapid price reduction of solar panels in the last year has opened up new markets in the U.S. where solar was not previously cost competitive with grid power," says Joe Bono, CEO of Solar Universe, a new CASE member representing 200 jobs. "This is an opportunity for more jobs and lower utility bills, a trend America needs."
"The solar industry is uniting in its opposition to SolarWorld's actions, which threaten to stall decades of solar industry growth and development." said Jigar Shah, co-founder of CASE and founder of SunEdison. We cannot prioritize 3% of American solar industry jobs over the remaining 97%. We cannot prioritize the fate of one company over the success of one of America's fastest growing industries, particularly given its strategic importance to our nation's future."

Two Greats, but which is better?
Page Tools
Colin Farrell in Alexander the Great.
Photo: Supplied
Oliver Stone has beaten Baz Luhrmann to the box office with his version of Alexander the Great, writes Phillip McCarthy.
The advertising tagline for Alexander, Oliver Stone's entry in Hollywood's current run of swords and sandals movies, is "fortune favours the bold". Expect to see it on buses and billboards - below Colin Farrell now as blond as the great conqueror on antiquities - before the epic's scheduled release in early January.
The slogan could also apply to Stone's determination to get his $US150 million ($A196 million) movie out before Baz Luhrmann's rival project in which Leonardo DiCaprio is cast in the lead.
Luhrmann's project is at least two years away. Recently, he denied reports that the whole thing had been shelved - but the prospect of "Alexander fatigue", or confusion, makes a closer date a risk, even if Stone's 2 hour 53 minute marathon is judged underwhelming.
On the eve of the release of his film in the United States, Stone admitted that the prospect of being beaten into multiplexes on a film he had started work on years ago had been the incentive to go into overdrive. But he said that he hoped Luhrmann still went ahead.
"In the end, I guess it's a bit trite to say it turned out to be very helpful to have an impressive team like Baz and (producer) Dino DeLaurentis breathing down our necks," he told The Age. "We wanted to be first out and we achieved that and I needed a scare like that to get the thing locked in."
The Hollywood maverick - famous for standing firm whether it's over a young J-Lo going topless in U-Turn or facing down studio honchos wanting cuts - has a fear you might not expect. He's the man who makes big biographies on people as varied as Jim Morrison, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, but he gets cold feet, dithers even, over the sheer grief and anxiety that comes with films like those.
"I was scared of Alexander," he said. "I had backed off Evita a year or two back, after doing a lot of work on that project, because those sort of movies are hard to make and I just didn't feel confident.
"I was gun shy about Alexander, but I sure didn't want to lose something else I had sweated over. It came up in 1989 and then in 1995 and I couldn't get it right.
"Well, Baz arrived on the scene and there were no more excuses."
Stone said his edge in a race once judged neck-and-neck was that his script had been evolving over many years, while Luhrmann and his team, including playwright David Hare, were starting from scratch. Stone also said that reported difficulties with the script on the Luhrmann version were the main reason the film had fallen behind.
"We never lost sight of the script," he said. "You can't give a good actor a bad script. He can't save the writing. And Baz knows that because he's struggling with the script.
"If he does make the movie, I hope he makes a good one, a different one, an interesting one. He can make a musical, I don't care. As long as it doesn't repeat."
Actually the most combative words from the Stone camp about the Luhrmann script, or at least one version of it, came not from the director or his producers, but from the Oxford academic and author of several Alexander tomes, Professor Robin Lane Fox, whom Stone brought in as the project's full-time, historical arbiter.
Asked whether he had been required to sign a non-compete agreement, to keep him from defecting with secrets if both projects had gone head to head, Fox confirmed that his contract imposed such restrictions.
But he said there was never any chance of him deserting because he had seen an early script of the rival film and he thought it was an empty, plastic spectacle.
"I think Oliver is an amazing dramatist and filmmaker," he said. "I think the whole thing with that project was a bid to destabilise Oliver. It will never be made."
His loyalty is to be expected. Sweetening his deal to advice on accuracy, Stone had also granted Fox a fervent wish: to ride with the Greek cavalry in a couple of big battle scenes.
Alexander opens in Australia on January 13.

Four registration tics on the 1:100,000 scale base map were utilized to register and transform the data from board-inches to state plane coordinate feet. A root-mean-square (RMS) error of 0.005 was required (approximately 41.67 feet at 1:100,000 scale). Proof plots were made for each data set on stable-base media and compared to the original data. Line work that deviated from the original position by more than 0.02 inch were re-digitized, re-plotted and corrected until acceptable results were obtained

Stable-base manuscripts were manually digitized by U.S.G.S.. Adobe Illustrator layers of the section lines and registration marks were exported as ESRI shapefiles (in board-inches) using Avenza's MaPublisher software. The registration marks correspond to known coordinates on the base maps (NAD83, New Jersey state plane coordinate feet). The shapefiles were converted to Arc/Info coverages. An empty coverage was generated by manually inputting the known coordinates as the registration marks (tics). Each tic was also assign a unique identification number. The coverage with the section lines and registration marks was then edited. The tics automatically created for this coverage were moved so they exactly overlayed the registration marks. The tics were assigned the same unique identification numbers as in the empty coverage. The section lines and registration marks coverage was then transformed into the empty coverage. The section lines and registration marks are now in NAD83, New Jersey state plane coordinate feet. The transformation had an RMS error of 0.005. The coverage was then checked against the original maps. The coverages were then edge-matched, joined together, and converted to ESRI's shapefile format.

Obama's Jobs Panel's Recommendations Infested by Conflicts of Interest
Panel Wants More Government Spending on Clean Energy that Will Benefit GE's Jeff Immelt and Other Jobs Panel Board Members
Crony Capitalism is Not an Economic Plan, says National Center for Public Policy Research
Washington, D.C. - Reacting to the recommendation by President Obama's jobs panel, chaired by GE CEO Jeff Immelt, that additional federal funds be dedicated to clean energy development, today policy experts from the National Center for Public Policy Research are calling attention to the conflicts of interest surrounding this advice.
"Immelt's recommending more money for clean energy is a clear conflict of interest. GE has significant investments in solar panels and wind turbines and Immelt needs government backing to profit from his company's investment in renewable energy. This is an outrageous example of crony capitalism at work," said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center's Free Enterprise Project.
The interim report, "Taking Action, Building Confidence," by the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, makes five recommendations to spur job growth. The first initiative, "Invest Aggressively and Efficiently in Cutting-Edge Infrastructure and Energy," calls for government support to improve the country's energy infrastructure and a new federal financing institution funded with $1 to $2 billion per year to amplify clean energy investments.
"The Solyndra scandal proves the federal government can't successfully function as a venture capital company, yet faced with this glaring failure, Immelt doubles down on this flawed strategy. Immelt's arrogant disregard of the public's anger over crony capitalism and the Solyndra bankruptcy is shocking," added Tom Borelli.
In addition to Immelt, other members of the jobs panel can profit from its recommendation on clean energy. Billionaire venture capitalist John Doerr's firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in green energy and Lewis Hay, Chairman & CEO of NextEra Energy, has also invested in renewable energy.
GE, NextEra Energy and start-up companies invested in by Doerr's firm have already received hundreds of millions of dollars from President Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan.
"The self-dealing of Obama's jobs panel members is just shocking. With millions of hardworking American families suffering from our nation's high unemployment rate and slow economic growth Obama's circle of business elite recommend plans to help themselves," said Deneen Borelli, fellow full-time fellow of the National Center-sponsored African-American leadership group Project 21.
"Obama's economic stimulus plan invested billions in clean energy and this strategy failed to generate meaningful job growth. Immelt's recommendations are really a bailout for the jobs panel members who made bad bets on clean energy. Now is the time to stop the crony capitalism madness. Our country can't afford to waste any more money on the next Solyndra's," said Deneen Borelli.
The National Center for Public Policy Research, founded in 1982, is a non-partisan, free-market, independent conservative think-tank with over 100,000 recent supporters. Its 2010 revenue exceeded $12 million. Only about one percent of its contributions come from corporate sources. Contributions to it are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.

Getting an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals each day is important for several reasons. Vitamins are involved in many processes required for the body to function properly, including blood clotting, immune system function and regulating the metabolism. Particularly important are the antioxidant nutrients, which include vitamins A, C and E and the mineral selenium. These nutrients protect cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, a process that occurs naturally in the body every day. Minerals, including calcium, magnesium, zinc and others, are involved in the development of bones, provide structure for cells and help to regulate blood pressure and cell function.
Many people find it difficult to eat an adequate amount of vitamin and mineral rich foods each day. Taking a balanced vitamin/mineral supplement can help provide the body with the nutrients it needs for optimal health. Deva Vegan Tiny Tablets Multivitamin provides balanced doses of each vitamin and mineral to make the product useful while keeping the size of the pill small enough to swallow with ease. Those who usually avoid taking nutritional supplements that are difficult to swallow will welcome the ease with which Deva Tiny Tablets can become part of a daily health routine.
Deva Vegan Tiny Tablets Multivitamin is extremely affordable and certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit group that invented the word "vegan". DEVA Vegan Multivitamin is 100% animal free, certified VEGAN by the Vegan Society, and guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency.

Government Watchdog Calls For Congressional Oversight Hearings To Investigate Illegal Federal Lobbying Grants
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars In Federal Slush Funds Being Handed Out to Activists to Lobby Local Governments
Washington, D.C./ New York, NY - The National Center for Public Policy Research today is calling on Congress to investigate Obama Administration grants that the Administration's own agencies admit are being doled out for the purpose of changing state and local laws and regulations.
"The time has come for Congressional oversight hearings focused on how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is handing out hundreds of millions of dollars in controversial grants to influence state and local laws, in violation of federal anti-lobbying provisions," says Jeff Stier, director of the National Center for Public Policy Research's Risk Analysis Division.
Stier made the call for hearings in an op-ed published in today's Roll Call, the newspaper of Congress.
The Investigator General of the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC's parent agency, which has been investigating the program, has already issued an "Early Alert" memo to the CDC citing concerns about the legality of the grants. Specifically, a preliminary investigation has found that reports from grant recipients across the country boast about how many statutes and regulations they were able to influence using federal dollars.
Representative examples of the dozens of grants that may have violated the law include:
• A $2.2 million grant to The California Department of Public Health used to "advance policy changes to limit the availability" of soda in schools, among other programs.
• Over $12 million in grants to groups in King County, Washington to influence policy, including an effort to "change zoning policies to locate fast food retailers farther from... schools."
In his op-ed, Stier points out that "[i]t is important here to distinguish between arguments about the merits of the CDC's health policy goals (soda taxes, smoking bans, etc.) and legitimate questions about the legality of how the agency hands out grants."
In Roll Call, Stier outlines the CDC's outlandish and changing defenses of the abuse of federal spending, and argues that this should offend "even those who favor the progressive polices the CDC is openly advocating for at the local level."
Stier warns that "congressional oversight of this type of program is urgently needed because the CDC, which stands by the legality of the grants, is set to ramp-up similar programs with funds Congress has already authorized, from a few hundred million dollars, to $2 billion."
Stier, a national authority on health policy programs, has written about these grants in op-eds in the Los Angeles Times, The Daily Caller and National Review.
Stier, a New York City resident, has discussed soda taxes and calorie counts on CNBC, and recently appeared on CNN HLN to criticize Mayor Bloomberg's soda ban.
Stier has also addressed related issues on Fox News, MSNBC, and top radio shows around the country.

Kevin Maggs does not expect to be the centre of attention during Ireland's
World Cup campaign - and that is the just the way he likes it.
The strong-running Bath threequarter is a perfect foil for the
sublimely-talented Brian O'Driscoll, who inevitably grabs most of the
"I actually prefer it that way," said the 29-year-old Maggs. "I don't
like speaking to the Press. I'd much rather concentrate on my own game and on
doing well for Ireland.
"Brian is an outstanding player and he deserves the limelight that he gets.
It doesn't bother me in the slightest that he gets all the attention."
If his co-centre, famously described as "Waltzing O'Driscoll" on the Lions
tour to Australia two years ago, is the Rolls Royce of threequarters, then Maggs
is the four-wheel drive.
It is a wonderful contrast which has served Ireland well, the fleet-footed
artist lining up alongside the crash-ball demolition expert and Maggs believes
both men benefit from each other's game.
"It's brilliant to play alongside him," he said. "He's one of the best
centres in the world, if not the best.
"It's been good for both of us. We've learned from each other over the last
few years.
Maggs, who has won 53 caps, played down the revenge theory, however,
prefers to look at the bigger picture rather than Ireland
taking on Argentina in the crucial pool A match in Adelaide on October 26.
"They are all big games and Argentina is one of the games we have to do well
in," he said. "We've played them a couple of times since the defeat in Lens.
"I'm pretty confident that we'll do well. Our goal is to get out of the group
and I think we'll certainly do that.
"After the last one, I didn't know if I was going to be involved this time.
It's unbelievable and I just can't wait to get started."

Swinging into the Blitz: A Culture Show Special
When a handful of musical immigrants from the Caribbean islands came to Britain in the 1920s and 30s, it was the beginning of both musical and political change. Leslie Thompson, an innovative musician and trumpeter, and Ken 'Snakehips' Johnson, a brilliant dancer and charismatic band leader, pooled their talents to start the first black British swing band.
Clemency Burton-Hill reveals the untold story of the black British swing musicians of the 1930s, whose meteoric rise to fame on London's high society dance floors was cut short by unexpected tragedy at the height of the Blitz.

Wanted: e-Envoy to lead business revolution
The job ad published on Friday on the DTI Website
By Internet Correspondent Chris Nuttall
The UK Government has advertised for an Internet czar to spearhead its drive to make Britain the most e-commerce friendly country on the planet.
The job ad, published on the Website of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), says the position will be known as the UK's e-Envoy or Special Representative on the Digital Economy.
The e-Envoy will report directly to the Trade Secretary Peter Mandelson and the Prime Minister as required. He or she will not create a new organisation but will work with the DTI, other government departments and industry bodies.
International role
The person will "spearhead the government's drive to ensure that by 2002 the UK is the best environment worldwide in which to trade electronically; and UK businesses and consumers fully realise the potential which this will create."
The e-Envoy will also be an e-commerce ambassador abroad for Britain. They need not be British though, more important is "a global perspective and a substantial grasp of the potential of the Information Age."
Candidates can submit their applications by e-mail and the shortlist will be interviewed in February.
The advert refers to the government's evolving policy on electronic commerce: the net benefit e-commerce agenda set in October, the Electronic Commerce Bill announced in the Queen's Speech in November and the Competitiveness White Paper due out this month.
The net benefit outlines most of the issues an Internet czar would have to tackle: consumer protection, data protection, potentially objectionable material, authentication and digital signatures, confidentiality, encryption, taxation issues, intellectual property rights, technical standards, illegal content, telecoms infrastructure, electronic payments systems, domain name issues and facilitating trade.

The male grooming market is preparing to be conquered by the manly sweat of the Vikings - thanks to York experts.
A body spray based on mead, gore, roasting meat, ocean spray and smoke from burning villages is being tested by Visit York over the weekend.
The tourism agency teamed up scent experts from the Jorvik Viking Centre to create the spray using chemicals to mimic the smells.
Michelle Brown, marketing manager of Visit York, said: "Historical research indicates that the Vikings were quite particular about personal hygiene, especially when compared to the Anglo Saxons."
Those interested in smelling Norse Power will need to head to the Visit York Visitor Centre, 1 Museum Street on Saturday and Sunday.
Couples can test the body spray out on their partners to see which they prefer: their usual 21st century aftershave aromas or the smells of the Viking era.
Customer feedback will help determine whether they scent should become available to buy.

Lake Geneva
Although a beautiful and serene location when placid, Lake Geneva is subject to as violent storms as the sea, as Shelley and Byron experienced in 1816. The lake is 14 kilometres wide, at least 70 kilometres long and 310 metres deep, and lies 40 kilometres north of Annecy on the Franco-Swiss border.
In France it is called Lac Léman and it is fed by the River Rhone. On the French side of Lake Geneva the nearest town to speak of is Thonon-Les-Bains, the starting point for the Routes des Grandes Alpes, a 700-kilometre route through the mountains to Menton on the Mediterranean coastline. Apart from this, and its excellent location as a base for exploring the lake and neighbouring countryside, the town is of little interest per se, but has fishermen's cottages and cafés enough to keep you busy for an afternoon in town.
Map of Lake Geneva
There is also the 15th-century Chateau de Ripaille built by Amédée VIII, the first Duc de Savoie, and later Bishop of Geneva during the Reformation. The chateau has a fairy-tale quality to it and, thanks to 19th-century restorations, a fair bit of Art Nouveau inside. After the guided tour you can try some of the wine grown in the chateau's vineyard, considered the best in the region.
Thonon-Les-Bains affords a range of hotels for its visitors, such as the basic Le Comte Rouge at 10 boulevard du Canal (04 50 71 06 04) with rooms for under €30, or the more upmarket places such as Le Port, 1 quai de Ripaille (04 50 71 37 05) and L'Arc en Ciel, 18 place de Crete (04 50 71 90 63) both with rooms from €55-70. If you want to try fish from the lake, head to Le Scampi restaurant at 1 avenue du Léman, which has fresh lake fish on menus from €17.
At the town of Évian you can enjoy some expensive hydrotherapy or simply stroll along the waterfront and take a trip on the lake. The Source Cachat flows from behind the Évian company's Art Nouveau office, and you are at liberty to serve yourself some spring water. Ferries to Geneva, Lausanne, Yvoire and Thonon-Les-Bains allow you to explore other parts of Lake Geneva quite easily, with returns from €18.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
The Heiress
Also see Jeanie's review of Smell of the Kill and Richard's review of Silent Sky
Catherine Sloper (Miriam Ani) is our heroine: shy, self-effacing, and dominated by her father, Dr. Austin Sloper (Louis Schilling). Their posh residence, in 1850 New York City, shows sophisticated status and taste, and is home to the Slopers, maid Maria (Nikita Sethi) and a cook, and Catherine's widowed Aunt Lavinia (Christine Macomber) who has been enlisted to provide companionship to Catherine. Catherine's mother died when she was born, a fact that the Doctor continues to blame her for; now, she and Aunt Lavinia run the household, but we quickly see that the Doctor holds sway, issuing dictates and keeping his daughter well under his thumb.
Enter Morris Townsend (Mark Haptonstall), cousin to a niece's husband, handsome and mannered but untenable as a suitor, with no money or prospects to his name. He soon declares his love to Catherine, and she, being unschooled in the world, accepts and returns his attentions with fervor, scarcely believing her good fortune in attracting such a man. Once Dr. Sloper gets wind of the relationship, he does everything he can to destroy it, convinced that Townsend is interested only in Catherine's considerable income and inheritance. The strategies he employs only deepen Catherine's resolve to marry Morris, until one horrible night that changes everything, forever.
It doesn't take genius to see where the story is heading, but the ending still surprises many, and reveals the extent to which Catherine has been affected by those she innocently loved. The ambiguity of her final actions leave room for debate as to her motives and her fate, and make for good post-show discussion.
The Players production is a sumptuous visual feast. Kuo-Hao Lo's magnificent set has remarkable depth and soaring height, and superb attention to period detail. Mary Cravens' costume design is fabulous, especially with all the different dresses she gets to create for Catherine. Properties by Pat Tyler, sound design by Jeff Grafton, and lighting by Edward Hunter all contribute to deliver a beautiful spectacle for the show.
Macomber is a proper and believable Lavinia, wishing the best for Catherine but succumbing to Townsend's charms. Sethi nicely inhabits the loyal and humble maid, and Shareen Merriam is quite credible as Catherine's other aunt, Elizabeth. The women in Catherine's universe ably demonstrate the social constraints of 19th century womanhood, registering their opinions but recognizing the limits of their power to change anything.
Ani looks the role of Catherine to a tee, but her simpering smile and extreme humility in the first act border on mental defect, making it difficult to buy her transformation later. Schilling's melodramatic delivery turns the Doctor into a one-dimensional villain, so there's no arc for the character, no chance for us to believe he might be caring but misguided. Haptonstall fails to generate any heat between Townsend and Catherine, making his mercenary interests far too obvious, his passion too remote.
A drama of epic proportions that still has resonance, The Heiress here gets a mixed outing, with gorgeous production values but uneven acting. Still, if you've never seen the play, you may enjoy finding out why it endures, and debating what Catherine does after the play's end.
The Heiress by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, presented by Palo Alto Players at Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, through February 2. Tickets $23-45, available at 650-329-0891 or at www.paplayers.org.

text: I remember back when "Buffy" was starting to get a lot of media attention and they were writing about how "devoted" the fans were, I just wanted to dig my head into the sand to muffle my "GO AWAY" screaming. "You all looked so normal!" Oy. There's nothing like reading a news story intended to appeal to a large swath of the population who do not and will never know a lot about your particular interest that summarizes something you think of in deeply nuanced terms into a breezy chunk of text that can be easily read while chewing a donut and sipping hot coffee. As I've complained/boasted before, if you go into the library and search for books related to our field, your results are likely to crop up all over the place - English/language studies, comm, philosophy, sociology, anthro, law, and on and on. I always thought that was the *good* part about being one of these silly, well-fed, ivory-tower academics frittering her time away trying to make my farking around on the internet sound like a legitimate research agenda and chatting with that tiny circle of people that I cite incessantly (where's my sarcasm font tag?) danah - As others have said, this is not your fault. The reporter was looking to fit her framework and no matter how accurate you were when you spoke, anything you said was going to be made to fit the frame. Case in point: I did a phone interview with a reporter about the WGA strike a couple weeks ago. I spent the entire interview thinking to myself "keep your foot out of your mouth!" while trying to make the point that the WGA strike is about a lot more than just the writers. But when the reporter asked me what I felt was a fairly whiny question ("What would you say to someone who says they're entitled to have their new tv shows?") I snapped "Well, I'd tell them to pick up a book." I *knew* as soon as I said it that it would be the last line of the article, because that's exactly how journalists think and it would fit the "professors privileging real art over entertainment" framework, even if I'm a film professor. And darned if I wasn't right. At least my students found it amusing.

xboxmediacenter 1.1.0 announcement!
xbmc 1.1.0 final point release source code has now been set in our cvs! once again we felt that we had been holding off doing any official release candidates for so long that we now consider the current xbmc cvs to be as stable as a point release should and could be, so we decided that we were ready to go final without a release candidate process. yes, there are still a few known bugs but none serious enough to stop you from fully using and enjoying xbmc. all xbmc users (and xbmp users if there still are any?) are highly encouraged to upgrade to this stable xbox media center 1.1.0 point release which is now officially the only supported version. for those of you who are new to xbmc (and/or xbmp) please understand and respect that team-xbmc do not release nor distribute xbox executables (xdk binaries) at all, so please do not ask us where to find/download a compiled versions of xbmc (which you do require to run xbmc on your xbox). please read through our faq and the online-manual carefully before posting/asking anything in our official xbmc community-forums. know that the official cvs feature/skin freeze has now been lifted, meaning our team-devs are again allowed to add new features/functions to the xbmc cvs, and independent programmers can too (link). we would also love if people would go ahead with updating/translating the 1.1.0 strings.xml to other languages and help updating our online-line (wikki) user-manual (link).
finally, we like to remind you all that the xbmc project relies on your donations for its survival!
ps! xbmc newbies, we recommend you study xbox-scene.com's tutorials and their forums (link)

May I suggest that you compose in a text editor, rather than a word
processor, if you plan to copy and paste it? Copying from a word
processor tends to override the reader's choice of font size, etc. and
on some boards, it resets that choice for the messages that follow, as well.

2001Up one level
Editorials published in 2001.
- Thank You
Steven Rubio
Cultural critics like Pauline Kael and Michael Rogin are rare, but their influence is long lasting. We miss them when they are gone, but one can state with assurance (and without resorting to New Age mysticism) that in important ways, they aren't really gone at all.
- Which Side Are We On?
J. C. Myers
The war, such as it is, has been good for President Bush. Of course, any president lives for the chance to play Commander-in-Chief, but for Bush, war has been a truly special gift: it has made him almost articulate.
- Letter to Yair
Joe Lockard
A conscientious objector reminds us that it takes courage to refuse weapons.
- Peace Goes Public
Jonathan Sterne
A steady monologue of war fever has appeared in the pages of the press and on the screens of our television sets.
- Civil Rights on the War Bonfire
Joe Lockard
Where the World Trade Center / Pentagon terrorists began and ended their deeds in lawlessness, the Bush administration is leading the U.S. government from lawfulness into lawlessness.
- George Bush's Holy War
Aaron Shuman
While America's leaders pledged to erase terrorists and launch crusades against barbarians, some Americans were taking steps to do, if not God's work, than certainly the country's, wherever they saw them.
- F-16s Over Broadway and the New Shape of Politics
Joe Lockard, Joel Schalit
Then comes the realization that US politics have been radically altered by this quintessentially political violence.
- Poets Summit
Aaron Shuman
One of the things East Bay performance poetry does is chuck the notion of representation in art and substitute hip-hop's value of representing of manifesting, testifying, breaking it down, telling it, letting the spirit move you, or any other of the myriad phrases people have devised to refer to the power of individually borne and conveyed experience.
- Love Parade
John Brady
For over a decade on one weekend in July, Berlin has also become the capital of Love as hundreds of thousands of ravers from across the globe have poured into the city on the Spree to dance in the Love Parade, one of the world's largest outdoor celebrations of techno music and culture.
- After Gothenburg
Joe Lockard
Current European public antagonism towards US environmental carelessness, renewal of Cold War missile-building, and failure to pursue a meaningful consultative relationship contrasts with a rising sense of European Union solidarity vis-a-vis the United States.
- Bob Kerrey and Vietnam Memory
Joe Lockard
It's another case of the Vietnam Memory Syndrome, that peculiarly American selective forgetfulness that permits national moral self-elevation.
- Santee Happens
Mike Males
The designated national menace is now the weirdo whiteboy.
- Eminem & Elton John do the Grammies
Cynthia Hoffman
You know the world I mean, the one with the people in it who think that when the voices on the right want things declared illegal it's legislating morality and promoting censorship, but when that same desire comes from the left, it's hate crimes and hate speech, which is somehow different.
- Letter from South Africa: (Art) History in Reverse
J C Myers
Certain coincidences invite the application of conspiracy theory. Others are sufficiently bizarre so as to rule out all conspiracies save one.
- Bad Subjects Interviews Howard Zinn
Joel Schalit, Joe Lockard
On the day before George Bush was inaugurated as president, BS editors Joe Lockard and Joel Schalit talked with Zinn to listen to the observations of an academic activist concerning this juncture in American history.
- Letter From Yair Halper
Yair Halper
My name is Yair Halper and I am a conscientious objector to military service. On Wednesday the 17 October 2001, I will be incarcerated for my beliefs.

It's near certain that Stewart, running in a deep-red district in a deep-red state, will get his chance at fixing Washington next January. But his campaign has raised eyebrows in Utah, where Stewart has left a trail of furious Republicans calling for an investigation into electoral dirty tricks and old hands in both parties predicting the second coming of Michele Bachmann. "From time to time, we get a certified nutcase," one former Utah Republican politician told me. "And Chris Stewart truly is a certified nutcase."

"Larry Crowne" is a Tom Hanks film from beginning to end. In addition to starring as the title character, Hanks co-wrote the script, produced and directed the movie.
Only Clint Eastwood and maybe George Clooney come to mind as actors who have successfully added directing to their legacies (Woody Allen began directing at about the same time he started acting).
Tom Hanks is easily the most acclaimed actor of the last two decades. Beginning with "Big" in 1988, Hanks has ben nominated for five Academy Awards for best acting, which he has won twice.
His roles include Forrest Gump, Sheriff Woody from "Toy Story" and Captain Miller in "Saving Private Ryan." On top of all that, everybody likes Tom Hanks.
"Larry Crowne" is a romantic comedy that teams Hanks with Julia Roberts, who could just as easily be called Hanks' acting counterpart considering her substantial success.
How this movie struggles is beyond anyone's ability to guess, but struggle it does. Perhaps its stars simply don't shine as bright as they used to.
Hanks play Larry, a man who gets let go from his long-held retail job because he never went to college. A friend suggests that Larry remedy that deficiency by enrolling into the local community college.
To save on gas, Larry begins riding a scooter to his classes and ends up befriending a younger student named Talia. She takes an interest in him and invites him to join her "scooter gang."
Larry enrolls in three classes: Speech, Economics, and ... Oops, we never see him in a third class. We learn that he lives alone, though he was married at one time. But we never find out if he is a divorcee or a widower.
What we do know is that everybody wants to help Larry. A Navy buddy offers him a job, Talia assists him in becoming cool and the scooter gang embraces him even though he is twice as old of any of them.
Julia Roberts plays Mercy, Larry's semi-alcoholic Speech professor. She is unhappily married to a blogger played by Bryan Cranston, wasted here in a pointless role. The obviously looming relationship that develops between Larry and Mercy is based on very little.
It's as if the two characters took a look around and merely submitted to being together, due to a lack of other options. Hanks and Roberts both still have great charisma, but they have no chemistry with each other.
George Takei, as Larry's Economics professor, gives a welcome contribution and provides most of the few laughs. Wilmer Valderrama plays Talia's tough-looking boyfriend who acts jealous about how much time she spends with Larry. Who is he kidding?
Let's admit it, star power alone would not have saved this weakly written story.
"Larry Crowne" has been rated PG-13 for mild language and cavity-inducing sweetness. DVD and Blu-ray copies are available now to rent or buy.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thanks for using JA
The anti lock module will record fault codes when it senses a malfunction in the system, therefor the module should be scanned for fault codes then fault traced
that is the proper process.
this could be a faulty speed sensor or a the module itself.
the shop also should drive the vehicle with the scanner connected to the vehicle to monitor all the wheels speed to see if there is a variation. other wise they'll never figure this out.

It appears that even Andrea Mitchell doesn't watch MSNBC. During Tuesday's edition of her eponymous program, while speaking to Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker, the anchor failed to acknowledge former Sen. Rick Santorum's (R-Pa.) strong repudiation for comments made by an attendee at one of his campaign events over the weekend.
While the presidential hopeful did not initially correct the woman's allegations that President Obama was a devout Muslim who was illegally occupying the White House, appearing on Morning Joe today, Santorum strongly condemned such rhetoric as being bizarre and out of touch with reality. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Apparently Andrea didn't get the memo. Mitchell's ignorance of her own network is just another example of her attempts to paint Republicans as bigots and continues to lower her journalistic credibility.
Below is an exerpt from Andrea Mitchell Reports and the earlier statement from Senator Rick Santorum on Morning Joe.
Andrea Mitchell Reports
Andrea Mitchell: Ryan Lizza, there's a lot of ugliness in this campaign as we've all been noting, and particularly there was an event, a moment with a woman at a Rick Santorum event in Florida yesterday, who in Lady Lake, Florida, questioned the President's religion and interestingly, unlike John McCain four years ago, candidate Santorum did not push back. I want to play that tape for you.
Morning Joe
7:06 am
John Heilmann: Well I think that's certainly possible and I think actually Senator Santorum is going to need to do more than he's done so far to exploit the support of evangelical leaders that came out in favor of him in Texas. But I actually want ask him, Senator Santorum, a question about something that happened yesterday in Florida. You were, you did a town hall meeting down in, at an American Legion hall in Lady Lakes, Senator. And there was a questioner who asked you about, about, who started by with the premise that President Obama is not legally qualified to be President and called him an avowed Muslim. Uh, you didn't respond to that. You're taking some criticism for that. I'm wondering whether you wanna speak to that here today.
Rick Santorum: Guys, I've spoken of that repeatedly throughout the course of this campaign. Everybody else has, too. I've said repeatedly that I don't believe President Obama is a Muslim and he's qualified. This was an elderly lady, she was there leaning on a cane, she was quite wobbly and I'm not going to sit and slam an older lady because she has some way-out, you know, some bizarre beliefs. I mean that's just, you know, it's your responsibility to defend the President, not mine. I've made my position clear on this issue. And, I don't know why you guys are so fixated on making sure Republicans, and every time somebody says something, that the media don't believe it's true and I don't believe its true, that it's my responsibility. But when the media and others say lies about me and call me names and do things that it's okay and that in fact it's promoted and encouraged and made fun of when we do it, stop it. We're not here, I'm not here to defend the President. And against you know, scurrilous attacks. It's not my job. Any more than you seem it's your job to defend me against scurrilous attacks.
