White paper explains internet threats
10 July, 2009
A free guide to hacks, hoaxes and other horrors of the internet has been published by Network Box
I was a little sceptical when I read that another white paper had been published about internet worries and how to avoid them so I expected to see more of the same stuff about not opening suspicious attachments and keeping your anti-virus software up to date.
However, 'Hacks, Hoaxes and Horrors' by Network Box offers a little more than this. Without delving too deeply into the technicalities of what goes on, the paper does scratch beneath the surface to explain how a hacker goes about finding a weakness, how an SQL injection attack is performed and how to tell the difference between a genuine site and one that's been put together with the aim of phishing.
In this respect, the white paper adds some value where many other simply re-state what everyone should already know by now.
Hacks, Hoaxes and Horrors is aimed at small businesses for them to spread the message amongst their staff to prevent themselves from falling victim to avoidable malware attacks. Those who will get the most benefit from it are those who know that these threats exist and who want to start asking more questions about it.
You can download the white paper from the Network Box website

The suggestion from the organisation's Security Council would mean the state existing side-by-side with Israel.
The UN also called for an immediate ceasefire in the 17-month fighting between the two sides and said peace talks must restart.
The plan is one way which might stop the fighting in the troubled region.
But the violence in the area is continuing as three Palestinians and an Italian journalist were reported to have died in fighting in Ramallah on Wednesday.
Ramallah is the Palestinian's main West Bank city and Israeli troops and tanks have moved into the area.

HVN tell me the detail of relative pressure
please tell me how to get relative pressure, i mean the solution or the formula calculation. and the outlet pressure shown in a straight line that mean all the point and the outlet have same value of pressure. can u give me your mail address.
Re: HVN tell me the detail of relative pressure
For incompressible flow simulation, the relative pressure can be considered as the difference from the given(or assumed) value at the given point. Given point might be arbitrary. That is, if you know the pressure at the outlet, you can add the pressure difference between the outlet(where you know the pressure) and the each point, and you can obtain the real pressure.
Example :
- You know outlet pressure, say 101325 Pa
- Outlet pressure of CFD result, say -100Pa
- CFD result for the pressure at the certain point, say -50 Pa.
Don't stick at the value of -100 or -50, You can interprete the result as, presuure at the outlet is 101325Pa(which you have information) and the pressure at the certain point is 101325-(-50)=101375 Pa.

So much for the quiet Dallas Cowboys offseason. On Friday morning, the Cowboys released starting left tackle Flozell Adams and safety Ken Hamlin.
The timing of the release is quite surprising when you consider the Cowboys were not up against some type of deadline. Adams was due a $2.5 million roster bonus in June, but the Cowboys could have waited to see what happened in April's draft.
Hamlin needed to be gone at some point, but it certainly leaves at hole at the position. The move signals that the Cowboys want to give some young players an opportunity.
Unless something crazy happens in the draft, Doug Free is now the starting left tackle. And Alan Ball and Mike Hamlin will compete to replace Hamlin.
There's also a chance the Cowboys could go after someone such as Nate Allen with the No. 27 pick. I had written about this potential move Thursday. But I'm surprised it happened this quickly.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today commented on the Forest Service's announcement of the Big Thorne timber sale.
"I welcome today's announcement that the Big Thorne timber sale is moving forward. I wish the sale was somewhat larger and of a longer duration, with a greater assurance of a long-term supply of timber, but I appreciate that the sale is on the market.
The vigorous defense and completion of the Big Thorne sale will be a much-needed sign for the people of Southeast Alaska that the Forest Service does wish to see the timber industry in the Tongass National Forest survive."
Murkowski is Alaska's senior senator and the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

I'm still on this a bit dirty mood for my looks. I don't know why, but I think it's just a phase and I like to follow my mood when creating looks.
So for this one I focused a bit more on the area under the bottom lashes, made the shadows a bit thicker and not lightened the tear ducts at all.
Pretty simple all in all but I kind of liked it anyway!
Do you like to change focus from time to time?

Aiming for Oxbridge

Want to study at Oxbridge? Learn all about their admissions process such as the required tests, interview process and more here…
In case you haven't figured it out already, Oxbridge refers to the Oxford and Cambridge universities, they are considered the among the elite universities in the UK and the best globally. Both institutions were founded over 800 years ago and still continue to spearhead higher education in the UK. Most, if not all international students will be familiar with both equally prestigious universities as they have nurtured some of the world's greatest minds.
Attending either one of these institutions is not impossible, but you would certainly need to work hard! Each year these institutions attract the best and the brightest students from around the globe and competition for a place at Oxbridge is fierce. The students applying to Oxbridge will have excellent grades, so we suggest that you develop your extracurricular skills so that you have an edge over your peers.
63% of Oxford's postgraduate students and more than one in ten undergraduates all come from overseas. Cambridge sees a slightly smaller percentage of their student body originating from outside the UK. There are many international students at Oxbridge, so you won't be alone! Most that come to Oxbridge to study either choose to remain and work in the UK or return to their home country to apply everything that they've learned.
You will need to apply to Oxbridge at least three months earlier than other institutions, and with only minor exceptions (e.g organ scholars) are mutually exclusive for first undergraduate degrees. This means that, in any one year, candidates may only apply to Oxford or Cambridge, not both.
You will need to furnish academic transcripts, translated into English from your local language by an accredited translator as part of your application. Proficiency in the English is a must and you will also need to provide score of any language tests that you've taken (again the transcripts for which should be translated).
A UCAS application is needed for an application to Cambridge, everyone applying to a British will need to submit this form. If you're not from an EU country, you are required to also complete a Cambridge Online Preliminary Application (COPA). Check how much you will have to pay to submit your COPA.
You will have to indicate your preferred college or whether you have no preference in both forms. Upon submission of these forms, an email will be sent from Cambridge, directing you to complete the Supplementary Application Questionnaire (SAQ).
The application process to Oxford is the same for both domestic and international applicants – you simply have to complete a UCAS form.
Students who stand a strong chance of successfully gaining admission into Oxbridge will be asked to attend an interview. The interview will be conducted by a tutor that teaches in the field that you're applying to. Overseas interviews are conducted by university representatives who are experts across a broad range of fields. If it's not possible for you to attend an interview in person, an interview via Skype or telephone may be an option, though this is not guaranteed.
Cambridge also holds overseas interviews in Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, PR China and India for those applicants unable to travel to the UK. However, there are some minor restrictions that you will need to check. The main one is that in order to request an overseas interview, you'll need to submit your COPA by a certain date.
Oxford, on the other hand, only conducts interviews at their university. These are usually held in December. If you are shortlisted, you will receive a letter or an email inviting you for an interview with more details included. The university will bear the costs of your accommodation and meals.
Admissions tests are starting to become increasingly common when applying for a university, and they are also required by Oxbridge. These tests are used to separate the increasing numbers of applicants with top grades that they receive each year. Tests are now used for several subjects and include the BMAT for medicine and veterinary sciences, the ELAT for English literature, and the LNAT for law. Click on these links to find out which tests you will be required to take as part of your Oxford and Cambridge admissions process.
As with any test, the best preparation is practise, practise, practise. Practice papers are available to download on both the Oxford and Cambridge University websites.
There are still plenty of equally prestigious institutions in the UK and thousands more around the world for you to choose from. Don't despair! Find another top university in the UK.

... America's obsession with commercials that cost millions of dollars continued again this Super Bowl Sunday, when Fox's broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII drew 111.5 million viewers to earn the title of the most-watched telecast in U.S. TV history. The game topped 2012's football championship for the honor, besting that broadcast by 200,000 viewers (at least according to Nielsen's ratings data, which is accurate to a degree of +/- 100 million viewers). After the Superb Owl, Fox aired a new episode of New Girl, and 25.6 million viewers stuck around to watch Prince guest-star, resulting in an 11.1 rating among 18-49-year olds. Brooklyn Nine-Nine followed that with 14.8 million viewers and a 6.7 rating. [Variety]
... More Super Bowl! Budweiser's ad about a dumb dog and a stupid horse being lame friends won USA Today's Ad Meter poll (check out Kaitlin's favorites and least-favorites here). I have no heart, so I hated this commercial and especially that song. You wanna see the real winner of the Super Bowl ad-splosion? This EPIC throwdown from a lawyer in Georgia, which only aired in regional markets:
NBC, hurry up and give this guy a series! [USA Today]
... CBS has long been somewhat stingy with regard to making its shows available for online streaming, but the network's programming is slowly finding its way to some on-demand services. The latest series to enter the digital age is Elementary, which is on its way to Hulu Plus. If CBS's press release had told me when the show would make its Hulu debut, I'd pass that information on to you, but since it didn't, let's all take a guess and say it will be "soon." [CBS via press release]
... The WGA Awards took place over the weekend to honor excellence in
writting righting writing (GAH I will never win that award), and Breaking Bad took home a couple trophies—for Best Drama and Best Dramatic Episode—because its writers are really good at writing. Veep and 30 Rock both won new hardware in the comedy categories, The Simpsons took home an animation trophy, and House of Cards won the title of Best New Series. [WGA]
... TV Land is getting back together with The Exes for a fourth season. The comedy, which stars Donald Faison and Wayne Knight, is currently winding down its third season and will return for a 12-episode fourth season this summer. [TV Land via press release]
... Disney Channel has renewed Dog With a Blog because Dog With a Blog rules. Stan's third season of being a talking and blogging dog will air this fall, and I can't wait to see Avery come up with new plans to impress the cute boy at school! [THR]
... Laura Prepon might be staying in jail a little longer than expected. Despite previous reports that Prepon's Orange Is the New Black character Alex would only be around for a handful of episodes in Season 2, series creator Jenji Johan has said she'd be around for "most of" the season. Orange Is the New Black returns to Netflix later this year. [US Weekly]
... Scott Bakula has just won the lottery! The Quantum Leap and Men of a Certain Age star has landed the lead in CBS's proposed NCIS offshoot NCIS: New Orleans. He'll play Agent Pride (yes, for real), head of the NCIS N'Awlins office and a man who "embodies New Orleans." So he's full of butter and spends a lot of time underwater? [Deadline Hollywood]
... Also heading to NCIS: NO is former Dirty Sexy Money star Zoe McLellan. She'll play Special Agent Brody, an NCIS agent from the Midwest who is totally like "OMG I'm in New Orleans!" [THR]
... Jack Davenport (Smash, the U.K.'s Coupling) will star opposite Jennifer Carpenter in ABC's drama pilot Sea of Fire. The show centers on a murder mystery in a small town, and Davenport and Carpenter play the two detectives who are sent in to investigate it. Sounds just like every other show these days. [TV Line]
... Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Suburgatory) is the new host for Adult Swim's comedy and Childrens Hospital spin-off Newsreaders. Tudyk replaces Mather Zickel, and I love Tudyk, but what was wrong with Zickel? [Adult Swim via press release]
... David Schwimmer (everyone's sixth-favorite Friend) might be returning to television! He'll star in the ABC comedy pilot Irreversible as the male half of a self-absorbed couple. Irreversible is based on an Israeli series, because America's supply of original ideas has been outsourced. [TV Line]

Lecture Capture Enhancement – North Sydney pop-up room open for bookings
Published: Thursday 11th August 2016
Teaching staff at ACU's North Sydney Campus have the opportunity to trial the new, enhanced lecture capture technology, Echo360 Active Learning Platform (ALP) for Semester 2 2016.
A specialised pop-up teaching space has been set up for staff to run tutorials using the improved platform which includes a range of features that further enrich the student learning experience.
Today's students face increased demands on their time and require the flexibility to access their learning materials at all times. Feedback from students also indicates that this is essential to their learning. Echo360 APL not only provides more user-friendly lecture capture but also has in-built pre-lecture, in-lecture and post-lecture student engagement tools and analytics capability.
Features of the improved platform include the capacity to upload media slides, add video to presentations, and real-time polling capabilities, amongst others. Importantly, its storage is cloud-based which allows for unlimited recordings and fewer concerns about storage and bandwidth.
The learning analytics capability in Echo360 ALP enables academics to monitor student engagement with lectures through the capacity to track how often a video or presentation has been viewed, attendance at lectures and participation in activities.
The Learning and Teaching Centre invite all lecturers at the North Sydney Campus to register for an Echo360 ALP trial with their students during Semester 2 2016.
Location: Room 6.04, Level 6, Tenison Woods House, 8-20 Napier Street, North Sydney
Room Capacity: up to 20 students
Class Type: Tutorial only (at this stage)
Kindly submit your preferred date and time by completing the expression of interest form.
Please contact Ms Cyntia Franco on 02 9465 9105 or via email for additional information.
This lecture capture enhancement project is a Learning for Life initiative. To read more about the ACU Learning for Life program see the Learning and Teaching webpage.

My library had the Nature's Educators team do a program to a mixed aged audience about Creatures of the Night. They were very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable and did a great job engaging both youngsters and seniors. I would recommend you have them at your event or library. They are a very affordable option.
Longmont Public Library Librarian
I started volunteering with nature's educators last year. Absolutely couldn't be happier with the ambassadors and volunteers. The passion for the animals and educating the public shines through by all the hours given to teach us by the director as well as other members of the group. Truly a wonderful experience.
I've been a volunteer for 5 years now, and this organization is impacting so many people in a positive way. I definitely can't wait to see where this organization is in another 5 years!
We attended our first educational workshop with Nature's Educators last year, sort of spur of the moment. My husband, son, and myself were very, very impressed with the knowledge shared with guests to increase our education & awareness of these beautiful birds. So much so, that the presentation, was something talked about and re-enacted at our household over & over & over. Fast forward a year, and now at 7 1/2, we were able to attend our 2nd workshop, plus see them at another site unexpectedly. Now, our son is even more turned on to the beauty of these animals, and is telling others certain facts he learned. Thank you Nature's Educators and keep up the great work!
Nature's Educators is a outstanding organization. The members of this team have such incredible heart and passion, and are able to do such amazing work. I am happy to be friends with the Director, and am happy to help them in any way possible. They take great care of the animals in their possession and I am proud to stand by them.
I have been volunteering with this organization for a year and they are just amazing. The director has so much passion and love for the animals and it really carries through the organization. The volunteers all take the company's mission to heart.
Great organization and people! They do amazing work!
This organization is so important and beneficial for our state. It is rare a single org can have such a far reaching impact, but Nature's Educators fulfills their mission above and beyond.
Nature's Educators is an amazing organization. Everyone is dedicated, knowledgable, friendly, and hard-working. I started volunteering in May and have had a great experience. I have learned so much appreciate how well it's run and how much effort each and every person gives. The programs are very well put together and are suited to all audiences, with extremely reasonable rates I might add! Booking an event with Nature's Educators will not disappoint. I cannot recommend this organization more.
Having worked with Nature's Educators, I can tell you they're an impeccable organization with a dedicated and wonderful staff, a clear and responsible vision for the future of their organization, and ethical but enterprising fundraising to foster their efforts. The crew at NE do an incredible job of balancing education for the general public with the care and love for their animals. Fantastic nonprofit and well-deserving of their Five-Star rating.

A very civilised way to travel!: Viking Danube Cruise Review by Happy Wanderers046
Overall Member Rating
A very civilised way to travel!
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Budapest
The scenery was everything we had imagined, "post card perfect" is a fair description I think. At each stop there were included tours and options to do additional sightseeing if we wished. In Vienna a visit to the opulent Schonbrunn Palace and an evening Mozart and Strauss concert at one of the city salons is a must. The historic Melk Abbey is More another fascinating place to visit. The trip was fantastic, we were well looked after both on board ship by the excellent crew and on shore by our tour directors and local guides. We learned a lot about the history of the areas we visited and were able to sample the cuisine of the regions.
We took the cruise at the end of a two month holiday around Europe and were delighted with the quality of food and service provided. We were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the last couple of weeks of our holiday being looked after by the excellent staff and meeting new friends. River cruising is a very civilised way to travel!

Cabin review: D107
We had a lower deck cabin. The cabin was clean and comfortable and not too cramped for space. The amount of storage space was a bit limited, hanging space was adequate but cupboard/drawer space was limited. The view from our cabin windows was a bit restricted as it was just above the waterline. This was not a major problem though as access to the upper decks was easy. The cabin steward was very efficient and cheerful.
Port and Shore Excursions
The included tour is very good as it covers most of the city sights. We also used the funicular at the Chain Bridge to go up to the castle precinct. Tickets are inexpensive and the views were fantastic.

US stocks turn higher on hopes for debt talks

NEW YORK — Signs that Washington was moving closer to reaching an agreement over the debt ceiling helped push stocks higher in afternoon trading Monday.
The stock market started Monday broadly lower after negotiations between the White House and Congressional Republicans broke down over the weekend. However, stocks erased those losses in early afternoon trading following news that President Barack Obama will meet with Congressional leaders in both parties later Monday.

Thierry delivers pizza, but he goes that extra mile for customer satisfaction. Cazzo Club catches him at work on camera for one night, and not only does his evening include cum-splattering gay sex and a threesome, but also masturbation at work and a little action on the side. I'd like that pizza with pepperoni and covered with cum, please!

Title: We Were Liars
Publisher: Hot Key Books
Published Date: 13th May 2014
Rating: 4 stars
I'm a little terrified of this book, to be honest. I don't know why. I think it's the idea of a group of privileged kids being up to no good for most of the novel. And it certainly looks like it took you a bit to warm up to the novel itself.ReplyDelete
I can understand why you should be a bit afraid before starting! It does take a while to warm up to the novel, but I enjoyed it in the end. I certainly could admire the brains behind it.Delete
I'm a bit 'meh' about whether to try this book or not.
Great review though Olivia - and that cat gif rocks ;)
Hehehe glad you like my cat choice! Maybe it's one to pick up when there is nothing much else planned?Delete
Great review. I also had a hard time connecting to the characters.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
It's always relieving to know I'm not the only one...Delete
Sounds interesting...
Oh and I wish I could watch your opinions about Supernatural S01! I'm at work now, so I can't, but I'm going to assume that you love it ;)
Hopefully you get the chance to watch it soon! I did love it though :DDelete
This one is still on my wish list, but for some reason I fail to add it to my cart whenever I'm on Amazon. I may just borrow it from the library soon. My favorite holiday destination will always be Orlando, FL. It used to be Daytona and Panama, but I've grown fond of Orlando the last few times I've gone. Las Vegas is another favorite, though I've only been twice. It's just so hot there! It was hard to breathe.ReplyDelete
I think you should go ahead and borrow it! I would be curious to know your thoughts about this one. It sounds like you've really found a place you love visiting. Orlando <3Delete
Glad you endured, Olivia. Sounds like it was well worth it. :)
@dino0726 from
FictionZeal - Impartial, Straightforward Fiction Book Reviews
The plot twist near the end was the best part! D:Delete
Sorry to hear didn't love until the end, but at least got reward for enduringReplyDelete
I'm always glad when things turn out to be rewarding ^.^Delete
[ Smiles ] Hmm. Interesting!
I wouldn't mind reading that!
You should give it a go ;)Delete
I might be the only person who did not love this one or find the ending all that shocking. I just felt underwhelmed.ReplyDelete
Aww such a shame :( I've been watching booktube videos and there are actually a few people who did predict the ending. I don't know how you guys do it though DD:Delete
I've seen this book and considered reading it, but I don't think I will. I'm a character lover, so if I can't connect with them, I most likely won't like the book.
My favorite holiday destination is Portovenere, Italy. Love Italy. This summer, we will be heading to Wales for a little R&R.
I know the feeling. For the most part, I'm a character driven reader as well.
I really want to visit Italy someday! I have been to Wales, and it is such a nice place. Especially in the summer :)
This book has been on my radar for a while now girl! It seems like this book was a meh read for you. :( I wish the romance could have been played out better so it kind of leaves me disappointed since I was really anxious to read this one! :( Meh..ReplyDelete
It was sort of meh, but in the end it turned out to be the good kind of meh? It was confusing! You should still try it though :3Delete
Happy the ending made it all worth it, sucks you didn't connect with the characters though.ReplyDelete
The ending did make it all worth it in the end, luckily :DDelete
The synopsis sounds like something that will keep you awake and guessing all the time. But I appreciate your honesty. It really happens. Some of my friends would rave about a book and I'll end up not liking it and vice versa.ReplyDelete
The plot twist at the end had me thinking about it for ages afterwards! But it was the lead up to it that was a little disappointing...Delete
I really enjoyed reading this book too! I agree with a lot of the points you made - I definitely felt distant from the characters. That made it a bit hard for me to read it, but that plot twist made it all worth it! :D
Geraldine @ Corralling Books
Yay, someone who shares the same feels! I don't always come across those kind of people too often :3Delete
I must confess, this was not a favorite of mine. I can't even really explain how, because I am usually AWFUL at it, but I figured out the plot twist VERY early on. So I assume that is why I was annoyed with it? And I didn't really love the characters, but I DID enjoy the writing (and the setting!) Great review, I am glad you enjoyed it!!ReplyDelete
I'm still impressed that you managed to do it! I think without the plot twist this book would've been a complete flop for me, so I can see how you didn't like it after that...Delete

West Indies will be hosting the ninth edition of cricket's showpiece One-day tournament for the first time despite fears that some Caribbean countries' already hard-pressed tourist infrastructure would struggle with the demands of a World Cup.
But West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Teddy Griffith, announcing the eight World Cup venues at a London hotel opposite Lord's Cricket Ground, said ships could help take the strain.
"There is the possibility, maybe the probability, of using some floating hotels."
And he added that this did not mean that cricket fans, already facing an expensive trip, would have to spend lavish amounts of money booking into giant cruise ships.
"At the start of this, lots of people thought that if you were talking about floating hotels, you needed to be thinking of the mega-ships.
"But all the information we now have that there is an adequacy of the smaller and more economic situations in the 6-800 room range rather than the thousands of room range."
The eight venues were chosen from a total of 12 bids with seven of the successful candidates Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and Trinidad all islands while the other, Guyana, is a South American country with an extensive coastline.
Among the losing bidders was the United States, which wanted to stage World Cup matches in Florida.
The country has long been targeted as an expansion area by cricket chiefs and in September a team from the United States will feature in the Champions Trophy One-day event, a 'mini World Cup', in England.
But International Cricket Council (ICC) president Ehsan Mani, speaking on the same platform as Griffith, said: "From a development point of view, the US had attractions but the decision was based on strict criteria."
Mani admitted that security and visa concerns had counted against the United States but said it would still be considered for warm-up games.
And Griffith stressed: "It (the World Cup) will be a Caribbean event with a distinctive Caribbean flavour."
The other unsuccesful bids came from St Vincent and the Grenadines, a second stadium in Jamaica and Bermuda although the latter has been given 'standby' status in the event of problems elsewhere.
Six World Cup sites will be upgraded while Antigua and Guyana will both have new, purpose-built, grounds. The average capacity will be 20,000.
Although the West Indies - who won the first two World Cups in 1975 and 1979 - are a longstanding major cricket nation, economic conditions in the Caribbean have seen them struggle to keep pace financially.
However, Mani predicted a World Cup windfall for the West Indies who will get 46 percent of the tournament's gross revenues, and benefit by approximately 100 million dollars.
The 2007 World Cup will feature 16 teams, the most in the competition's history, who between them will play 51 matches.
Last year's World Cup, in South Africa, was widely criticised for being too long at 43 days and the 2007 event is set to be of similar duration.
By contrast, this August's Athens Olympic Games will last 16 days.
But organisers point out the creation of four first-round groups of four rather than two of seven has helped reduce by three the number of matches.
A fixture schedule is due to be announced in Jamaica on July 13.

The telephone rang shortly before midnight.
"Can you come here? I can't be alone tonight."
At two he tiptoed out, looked once at the sleeping Dean and silently closed the bedroom door.
"Not that great in bed, after all. Should have known," was all he could think of during the drive home.
Back to the loft, he methodically put through the shredder all pictures of Sam he could find.
Then he lay down in what now was the spare bedroom, thought of the wedding, of House in his wife's arms, hugged the pillow and cried. It was all his own damn fault.

103 - 87 Final
Rockets blow by Blazers at Rose GardenMar 2, 2011 - 6:59 AM Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Kyle Lowry finished with 21 points and 11 assists as the Houston Rockets handled the Portland Trail Blazers, 103-87, at Rose Garden.
Luis Scola posted 21 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the field and Kevin Martin added 20 points for Houston, which has won five straight and six of its last seven games. The Rockets also ended a four-game skid in Portland, a place they hadn't won in since April 3, 2008.
"This is a tough place to play," Martin said. "We came out fighting. I could not be happier for this team and the way we are playing right now."
Nicolas Batum paced the Blazers with a game-high 22 points. LaMarcus Aldridge and Gerald Wallace both added 14 points with Wallace grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds in the loss.
Portland has lost back-to-back games and finished a four-game residency 1-3.
"Defensively we did not guard anybody," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "That is why they scored 52 points in the paint."
The Rockets opened the third quarter with an 8-2 run, capped by six straight points from Chase Budinger, to take a 61-44 lead. The Rockets held their margin and Martin's three-pointer at 4:24 widened it to 73-55.
The teams traded baskets down the stretch and Wesley Matthews' free throws just before the third quarter buzzer cut the Houston lead to 83-68.
Martin and Lowry baskets -- surrounding a Batum missed three-pointer -- widened the Houston lead to a game-high 19, and the Rockets' lead never fell below 14 throughout the duration.
"We played solid every quarter," Rockets coach Rich Adelman said. "That was one of the best road wind we have had all year."
Scola paced the Rockets with 10 points on 5-of-5 from the field in the first quarter as they held a 30-26 lead after one. Portland was held to 30 percent from the field in the second quarter as Houston widened its lead to 53-42 at the half.
Game Notes
Portland's Andre Miller scored 13 points and dished out six assists...Budinger added 14 points for Houston...The Rockets held a 52-26 margin in low-post scoring...The Blazers went 16-of-20 from the foul line, compared to 7-of-11 for Houston...Batum was 5-of-5 from the line.

The final numbers are in and last night's was the least-watched State of the Union since 2000. Nielsen estimates viewership at 31,710,349 on 13 networks. In 2000, Bill Clinton's final address drew 31,478,000
As we told you earlier, CBS was the most-watched for the State of the Union on broadcast TV. And with the early numbers just in for cable, Fox News was the most watched among total viewers, while CNN was No. 1 in the A25-54 demo.
But when everything is added up, 2015 is poised to be the least-watched State of the Union in at least 15 years. On the big four broadcast networks and big three cable networks a combined 28.12 million (preliminary) watched last night.
By comparison, George W. Bush's second-to-last State of the Union address on Jan. 23, 2007 was watched by 45.49 million viewers on 9 networks. Bill Clinton's second-to-last on Jan. 19, 1999 was watched by 43.5 million on 7 networks.

It's been five days since we last checked in, and despite watching movies every day, there's been little to report. Maybe it's just the exhaustion talking, but this thought just keeps pounding through my Fantasia addled brain – "Where are all the good horror movies at this year?" It's not like it's a problem with the festival programming. Fantasia has an impenetrable track record of picking nothing but the best, most innovative, and most extreme horror so what's going on?
Part of the issue is the popularity of certain titles. For example, we still haven't seen Rubber due to its constant sell-out status. Other films, like The Revenant (which everyone seems to love), we've missed due to Fantasia-fatigue brought on by too many three-movie days followed up by all-night discussions (and uh, beer). Other whole categories seem to have dried up. Compared to years past, there's virtually no Japanese, Korean, or even Thai horror out there.
The two straight horror flicks we did see, Outcast (review here), and Heartless. were both okay but didn't blow our minds. Heartless in particular is a melodramatic overwrought affair with some cool demons and an atrocious score that only reminded me how badly The Reflecting Skin needs to come out on DVD.
Lastly, some films just turn out to be far more mainstream than you would ever expect. Cases in point: Feast of the Assumption: BTK and the Otero Family Murders and We Are What We Are.
FotA:BTKatOFM is not only awkwardly titled, but it's also a mixed-up documentary that perhaps suffers from a wealth of too much interesting subject matter. The infamous "Bind Torture Kill" serial murderer Dennis Rader slaughtered 10 people and left many families and survivors devastated, but the film decides to focus almost exclusively on the charismatic Hispanic biker Charlie Otero, who lost his brother, sister and both parents to the sexually deranged Rader. The documentary interweaves Otero's story with the in progress (at the time of filming) investigation, capture, and sentencing of BTK. I'm sure the filmmakers couldn't believe their luck at BTK coming out of the woodwork and being caught during production, but with so much going on, the movie never seems to hone in effectively on Rader, and apart from a few courtroom videos viewers will learn very little about him or his motivations. Otero's life, on the other hand, is picked apart in minute detail, chronicling not only his family's murder but his incarceration for domestic violence and a near fatal car accident involving his estranged son. While the maelstrom of brutality and bad luck that is Otero's life is without a doubt compelling stuff, a lot of it seems totally divorced from BTK, which causes the filmmakers to try to create some additional linkages by presenting Charlie's conspiracy theories involving his aad's business dealings in Panama and his having watched Truman Capote's In Cold Blood just prior to the murders. These weak explanations cheapen the horrific sting of realizing that there is no rationale for Rader's utter lack of humanity and that this low budget documentary with its faint whiff of exploitation and serial killer worship isn't going to help provide one. It's by no means a terrible documentary, but it's more like the television show "America's Most Wanted" than a finely honed documentary with a point like Marwencol (another non-horror documentary entry well worth checking out).
Similarly disappointing for completely different reasons was the well directed, but utterly forgettable Mexican cannibal film We Are What We Are. Full review coming soon, but the short version is that if the 2001 Mexican love triangle film Y Tu Mama Tambien and Romero's Martin made cannibal movie babies, the afterbirth would be We Are What We Are. In other words, while slick and icky in parts, it's ultimately a throwaway.
Tonight we'll finally get to see if A Serbian Film can cause us to upchuck undigested popcorn and flavored mineral water on our neighbors. We hear this one is downright nasty, but given how tame The Life And Death of a Porno Gang was, I have my doubts. We'll also be on-hand for the 25th anniversary screening of Re-Animator with Stuart Gordon, Jeff Combs, and Dennis Paoli, which might provide just the right gleefully gooey antiseptic required to scour the cynical filth of A Serbian Film from our brains.

Chapter 1
"HI!" Dusty blond-brown hair and green eyes filled the screen of the camcorder, and with a few quick adjustments here and there; you could at last see the boy. He looked to be about 8. "My name is Eric and this is my best friend Jason," The grinning boy pointed to another boy who also looked about 8. Jason had Platinum blond hair and appeared to be slightly taller than Eric. "Come and say hi to everyone Jase!"
"I don't wanna!" Jason replied, moodily.
"Aw, come on, your no fun!" Eric scolded, and then ran right up to Jason who was standing off to the side, admiring the books on Eric's bookshelf. They weren't the kind of books you would expect to find in a child's bedroom. Most of the books were big, thick science fiction stories, which were Eric's favorite kind of books. He also had a huge collection of books on space travel. Even some of the declassified logs from different missions the Enterprise had been on. He had read them all and his understanding of such advanced concepts continued to amaze anyone who knew him. Eric was an incredibly gifted boy, with many talents that almost no one else on Earth possessed.
Eric stopped to see what Jason was looking at, grinned slightly, then grabbed Jason's hand and pulled him to the camera. "Now come on Jason, won't you at least say hi to everyone for me? Pretty please?" Eric asked with his best puppy dog look. The look was too much, and Jason burst out in a fit of giggles.
"What's so funny?" Eric asked, in an almost hurt tone.
Jason began to explain between giggles, trying to talk slowly enough for Eric to understand, "Eric... hehe... umm... that expression of yours was... hehehehe... just too funny!"
Eric's hearing aid tuned in to what Jason was saying, and as he realized he wasn't laughing at him, so much as with him, he began to giggle too.
"Yup, the puppy dog face triumphs again!" Eric shouted victoriously. "And now that Jason finally talked on camera, we can say good bye."
"Bye!" Both boys shouted in unison, making them laugh even harder as Eric pushed the stop button on the camcorder and gently packed it away in its case.
Eric and Jason were complete opposites. Eric was a healthy boy who was born as normal as normal could get. He had a knack for getting into trouble though and loved being a daredevil. He could talk his way out of anything. One look in his eyes though and you could tell when he was up to mischief. He was an unpredictable little imp, in a good way of course. Eric's parents have always cared for him no matter what. One could say they would win the parents of the year award, however they often wondered if they were doing the right things.
Jason on the other hand was the exact opposite of Eric. He was the shy quiet type, a good boy, and almost never in trouble. He wasn't as energetic as Eric, but was just sort of into his own world. He was cute, but never thought of himself as such. His classic good looks were something others could only wish for, even if he didn't see it. How the two became best friends right off the bat baffled Jason's parents, but they weren't complaining! The little ball of energy that had moved in next door had already started to bring their son out of his shell.
Eric was curious about something and couldn't think of how he wanted to say it. The two had only known each other for a short while, but they were already so close. He felt weird not knowing much about Jason. Finally, he mustered the courage to ask, "Umm... Jason?" Eric stammered "c-can I ask you something?"
Jason gave Eric a questioning look then nodded "uh huh"
"I was wondering; how old are you? I mean, well...I...uhh.... get this weird feeling...that...you're older than you look. Don't take this the wrong way, you look like your 8, but I think you're older." Eric was finally relieved to get it out.
"Well" Jason began, "I may look like an 8 year old but I am really 9, almost 10. My birthday is soon, I am just short for my age."
"That's cool!" Eric piped up "I'll have to ask my mom and dad to take me shopping for your birthday! I can't wait!"
Jason blushed, "Aw, no you don't have to do that." He said, looking down at his shoes and blushing.
"But I want to! It should be a big day for you. Cheer up! We can have a big party and invite all your other friends! I can't wait to meet them all!"
Jason blushed even redder...if that was even possible. Still looking at the floor he mumbled, "Umm, I don't have any."
"Jason, you know very well I need to read lips to understand you!" Eric scolded as he tried to figure out what his friend had said.
Jason's head shot up, "Oh sorry; I said you are my only friend."
"Oh!" was all Eric managed to say. He didn't know how such a cool guy could not have any friends, but he planned to do something about it.
Just then, a yell from downstairs broke the silence in the room, "BOYS, come on down!" bellowed Eric's dad. Eric heard that loud and clear, he didn't always need to read lips.
"COMING!" Both boys chorused.
Within seconds, two very active boys came running down the stairs of the Shannon's new home, with all the energy of a steam engine tearing through it.
"Boys, try to keep running in the house to a minimum, we don't want another accident, now do we Eric?" Mrs. Shannon asked in a gentle tone.
Eric looked hurt for a minute remembering that day. Eric had never forgotten since his parents had constantly reminded him to be more careful. Eric sighed as he began to look back to 'that day'.
It was a nice warm, sunny, afternoon during mid spring when Eric heard his Dad pull up in the driveway. "Looks like Daddy's home from work already!" Eric thought excitedly. He decided to surprise his father, by jumping off the front porch. Without even considering the risks, he took off like a bullet. Eric ran from the family room, through the dining room then kitchen past his mom who was making a late afternoon snack. Before Mrs. Shannon was able to yell, "Slow down!" Eric was already out the door followed by a loud crash and a yell from Mr. Shannon. "Oh God please no." she thought nervously. Stepping outside, the sight of her 5 year old laying motionless on the ground a full flight down was too much for Mrs. Shannon and she became hysterical. Mr. Shannon had already dialed 911 on his cell phone and the ambulance was on its way.
"Oh honey, why'd you have to be so reckless?" sobbed Mrs. Shannon.
"Dear, try not to move him till the paramedics get here, I can feel he is ok. Just knocked out" replied Mr. Shannon as he tried to keep his wife calm and see to the well being of his only son. "I'll stay on the phone till the paramedics get here".
Mrs. Shannon simply nodded while looking down at her son.
Mr. Shannon continued to also try to communicate all that was happening, to the operator on the phone. He spoke into the cell phone, "Thank you ma'am, the paramedics are arriving, I can hear the sirens, thanks operator for the swift response. We all appreciate it."
All the operator could say was "Just doing my job sir, good luck, and hoping for the best".
Mr. Shannon thanked her tearfully and hung up right at the moment the ambulance was pulling into their driveway behind Mr. Shannon's Camaro.
Moments later, Eric was transported to the nearest children's hospital. After arriving, the doctors had taken the necessary precautions, and the x-rays proved he needed immediate surgery.
Three hours later, an exhausted doctor walked out into the waiting room looking for Eric's Parents. Since the room was full, the Doctor calmly spoke "Will the parents of Eric Shannon please accompany me?"
Mr. and Mrs. Shannon shot up and walked over fast with worried looks across their faces. As they approached the doctor, Mr. Shannon spoke up nervously "Is our son going to be ok?"
"Yes, however there are complications. Please follow me and I will explain. I think we should go somewhere a little more private." the Doctor spoke almost emotionless, though with a hint of sorrow.
As they approached a small conference room, the doctor opened the door for Eric's parents to enter. They walked in, and the doctor followed, then closed the door behind him "Please, have a seat."
As the doctor sat, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon followed suit. "Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, my name is Doctor Rice. You can call me Joe or Doc, whichever you prefer."
Mr. Shannon spoke first with a gentle smile "I'm Jerry and this is my wife Trish, it's so much easier informal. Is my son alright?"
Doc Joe sighed and smiled a bit before he gave his prognosis "I realize there is no easy way for me to say this, so I am going to just say what needs to be said. Your son is in the recovery room resting as we speak. He is going to survive, but there have been complications."
"Wait, if Eric is ok, why are there going to be complications?" Mrs. Shannon questioned in a serious tone.
The doctor sighed "He has sustained severe nerve damage to his auditory nerve. It is at the point where the two nerves from either ear cross. There was some swelling, which we have relieved, but I'm afraid that Eric will have no hearing in his right ear for the rest of his life. We are not sure how much damage his left ear has sustained, however, we hope that with the use of a hearing aid, he may regain partial hearing to that ear. The boy is not totally deaf, and we can still hope his left ear works a little."
Mr. and Mrs. Shannon sighed and thanked Joe for helping their son. Before they left Joe mentioned they could go see their son now in ICU.
As Jerry and Trish walked in ICU, Eric was partially awake in his hospital bed wondering where he was and where his parents were.
Eric noticed his parents walk in, and he began to apologize "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to jump, but I wanted to surprise Daddy" sobbed Eric.
"Its ok honey, you're alive and that's all that matters right now." Trish sobbed.
The scene started to fade away back to reality as Eric shook his head at the memory, "Sorry mommy."
Mrs. Shannon watched her son as he started to fight the tears back. It had been three years since Eric had to overcome his "new condition". Without being able to hear, his world had closed in on him. Eric was lost, in the world of sound. His mom gentle placed a hand on his shoulder then knelt to eye level so Eric could see her clearly. He looked at his mother opening her mouth, but no sounds would get through.
Eric, honey. We care about you. We love you son His mothers' words came to Eric, in his mind.
Eric looked at his mother with eyes widened. How did she know? he thought to himself.
Now that you know where you got your abilities from, lets keep our mind communication to a minimum.
Yes mother Eric thought.
Mrs. Shannon smiled, "Now will you boys please run over to Jason's real quick, and ask his parents to come over for a cookout, our treat. Tell them we won't take no for an answer." The boys took off out the door at the mention of a good BBQ.
Mrs. Shannon let out a sigh then looked at her husband "Jer, I think its time Eric had some training with his abilities. They have been growing recently, and there have been some unusual occurrences as of late. He could try and teach himself how to control his telepathic and telekinetic abilities, but I'm sure you remember how hard it was to learn control at his age."(???Hammy, have the cows been producing chocolate milk, or are the chickens laying plums?) (very much so, Dibs ;-) Mooo! )
"I know, Trish. I know. It seems he has both of our abilities at his disposal and he needs to be trained properly, but sadly it's going to be up to us to train him, since his abilities already exceed most people's on Earth. Maybe even ours." Jerry let out a sigh.
Later that evening, after Jason and his parents went home from the nice BBQ, Eric's parents had a long discussion with him about his abilities. Eric understood the difference between right and wrong, and knew better than to abuse his abilities. He had read up on telekinetic and telepathic abilities in a book he had gotten about six months ago, and knew of the trouble people could cause while abusing their gifts. It was getting late and the family was tired from a busy day. Before Jerry and Trish went to bed, they said their goodnights to Eric and tucked him in. He was excited after learning of his new abilities but after thinking a while, he finally, fell asleep, with exciting thoughts on what his gifts may mean for his future running through his mind.
That night as everyone slept, the peace was broken in the Shannon's new home, by a blood-curdling scream coming from Eric's bedroom. Trish and Jerry ran into Eric's room in a mad dash. Jerry quickly turned the light on to see Eric in tears and covered in sweat. His mom rushed down to cuddle him, hoping to calm the fears that had Eric trembling so badly.
"Oh honey we're here, it's over now, it was just a dream." Trish tried her best to console her son, but was having no luck.
"B-but..." was all Eric could mutter out.
Trish closed her eyes for a moment, reaching into her son's mind. She found what was there, and her eyes shot wide open. With a gasp she exclaimed "Oh my god."
Trish was cradling the weeping and trembling boy in her arms, "Oh honey, I promise it won't happen."
Eric looked up all teary eyed and muttered "Promise?"
"I Promise."
Jerry was looking at Trish with a questioning look, but Trish mentally told him 'Later.' Jerry just nodded with concern.
"Babe, why don't we let Eric come with us for the night? It might help him sleep better, don't ya think?" suggested Jerry. He knew his son was too old for that, but as shook up as he was by his dream, he knew it was the right thing.
Trish nodded, picked up the weeping boy and carried him to their bedroom. Jerry turned off the lights in Eric's room, and then followed Trish to their bedroom. When they both got back in bed, Eric was already asleep, knowing full well his parents were there to protect him.
Eric woke up with a gasp; he shot straight up in his parents' bed, looked around, and then sighed. He was relieved to find nothing bad had happened. He tried to remember the nightmare, now that he is awake and aware, but his mind just wouldn't allow him to. Eric sighed loud enough his parents heard him.
"Good morning EC" they both chorused, using their nickname for him and nearly making Eric jump out of his skin.
"Hey, are you trying to give me a heart attack or something?" the grinning boy said then launched a tackle at Jerry. His dad made a satisfactory oof as the boy pounced on him.
"Whoa easy there, buddy," chided his dad, "Don't break the old guy!" Trish just giggled. Boys will be boys. Eric didn't think his dad was that old, he was the best dad around. Actually, Jer and Trish were both young. They were both in their early 30's and quite good-looking. It was easy to see where their son got his good looks. They were both in good shape, and healthy as healthy could be. Jerry worked as a tool and die maker for a well-known company, CAT, and he was quite good at his job. He was average in height, slim, with semi blonde hair and brown eyes. Jerry's unique special ability to move objects with his mind had always come in handy, when it was needed the most, and is something that has been in his family for generations and still going strong. Trish on the other hand, was a counselor for the local school and loved helping kids. Her strawberry blond hair and brown eyes gave her a rather unique beauty. Something Jerry found to be a big turn on. Trish's family had the ability to read minds and her ability to predict the future gave her quite an edge, however generation after generation, the ability had started to weaken.
With Eric though, it seemed the combination of their two abilities had given it extra strength. Something both parents were proud of, even jealous at times, but they never showed it, and they loved their son. Eric had always known that he was different. Not just because of his hearing loss, but because he had always felt special and loved.
"So guys, how do pancakes for breakfast sound?" Trish asked. Jerry and Eric took one look at each other then sported identical mile-wide grins, which told Trish it was a definite yes. She had never known them not to say yes to food for that matter.
On their way down the doorbell rang, causing all three to jump slightly. They weren't expecting anyone to be at the door this early on a weekend. All three stopped at the front door and Jerry opened it to reveal their next-door neighbors, Jack, Joyce and Jason. The triple J's expressions were of concern, Trish notice though, that they all had a tired look about them, but once they shook themselves out of their short trance, they were all smiles. Joyce broke the silence by producing a plate piled high with bacon. "I hope we're not intruding. We had a rough night for some reason and we figured you did too. I must apologize for my rudeness, but when a boy screams, he really does scream and we heard Eric moments after Jason woke up from his nightmare. Anyway, enough of that, we can talk about it later. I brought something over to help with a big breakfast. That is if you don't mind?"
For a moment Trish's eyes went wide, then she smiled, "We can discuss that later, but I'm sure the guys won't mind you coming over for breakfast at all, we were planning on pancakes." Joyce then looked at Eric and Jerry. The expressions on their faces were priceless because all they could do was nod with their mouths hanging out. Trish sighed at the sight then turned back to Joyce "Don't mind the goofballs, once they get over the shock, and get some food in their systems, they'll join the real world.
With that, Joyce and Jack made their way into the Shannon's home, walking past Jerry and Eric. Jason however, stayed behind with his friend. Jason was staring at Eric for what seemed like ages, but he was finally brought back to reality by his mind pushing him to do something. He finally made himself move. He grabbed Eric's hand, and pulled him upstairs. Jason shot back over his shoulder, "Don't worry, Mr. Shannon, we won't be long!"
Jerry took one last look after he snapped out of his stare, shook his head and chuckled. "Boys."
Meanwhile upstairs in Eric's bedroom, Jason finally entered with a confused Eric in tow. Once they were in, Jason decided to close the door behind him then turned to Eric. Trying to catch his breath, Jason spoke between breaths, in a rapid speech that totally threw Eric off. Eric finally had to stop him if he wanted any hope of figuring out what was going on.
"Whoa, whoa, Jase, slow down! I can't keep up that fast!"
"Oh sorry bro, I was trying to ask you if you had a dream about a fire last night? I did and it was so real! And you were there. In the dream I mean, but I felt like you were really there, so did ya? Did you dream of a big fire too?
Eric perked up at this. So he hadn't been the only one to have the dream! Jason had really been there! "Yeah! I did dream of the fire! That's so weird, you dreamt it too? What happened? I don't even remember most of it."
"Oh, well, umm...I seem to remember most of it, but not all of it. I'm only missing a little bit though. Maybe if we put our bits together, we can figure it all out."
"Yeah. But why are we in my room with the door closed? My parents know about the dream, it's not like it's a secret."
Jason began to blush a little and looked down "Oh well.., the dream kinda got me thinking, and well... do you ...?" Jason suddenly remembered Eric couldn't hear, so he looked up again, made eye contact and restarted his sentence "Do you remember when you asked why I didn't have any friends and I didn't give you an answer?"
"Ummm oh, yea, I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have just asked like that."
"Don't be, Eric, I should be the one to say it," Jason let out a deep sigh then continued "The reason I avoid people is simple: I kind of feel like I am gay, as in I like boys." He watched Eric's face for a negative reaction, and when he didn't see one he continued, more at ease, "When I saw you for the first time, you caught me by surprise because you're beyond cute. I kept dreaming of you every night since you moved in." Jason then looked down, not wanting to see Eric's expression. Even if he didn't mind him being gay, he was sure to hate him for being in love with him.
Eric lifted his arm touching Jason's chin and lifting it up he then planted a kiss on Jason's soft lips. Eric's eyes were closed, so he didn't see the shocked reaction Jason had. The kiss was deep and electrifying. After Jason got over the sudden surprise from such a beautiful thing, he melted in, placing his arms around Eric. Suddenly everything became blurry and the image of Jason was rapidly fading with an echoing, "NO! Eric! Don't leave!"
Eric sprang up in his bed, shaking the fog from his mind. He had been so absorbed in his memories of the first days of his relationship with Jason. There was only one thing, which could pull him away and that, and that was a temporal shift, could it be? he thought to himself with mounting hope.
It was now his fourth year being their lap dog on certain missions and he was getting tired of it. Eric looked around his room. There were no windows to show what space looked like. Everything here was a pale shade of grey. The bedspread, the floor, the walls, even the door was the exact same color. He had been kidnapped and held against his will for the last 5 years on their space ship. His kidnappers made him go on life and death missions, raids, and even forced him to perform sex acts, especially for Sid.
Eric was confused by the new sensations he was feeling, but shrugged them off like they were an every day occurrence. Everything he was taught, whether it was by his parents or by Sid, he thought were normal. Little did he know how far from the truth his 'normal' really was.
Eric lay back in his bed and started thinking of his parents and Jason, wondering what they were doing now. His thoughts though, were rudely interrupted by an alarm, as red flashing warning lights went off with the following announcement "All personnel report to the cargo hold for briefing and deployment".
Eric stood up and turned the lights on so he could find his way to the clothes storage to get into his uniform. Upon turning the light on a mirror revealed his naked form, which was no longer small. For a 13 year old, Eric was above average in height with a well-toned body from all the missions he was forced to go on. His appearance though hasn't changed too much, all thanks to Sid, aka The Boss. Eric's resentfulness of Sid really showed when he was around him, and Sid loved every bit of it.
Eric let out a sigh as he zipped up, readied his mind, and then walked out of his room.

When watching last night's episode, at first I was feeling cheated that most of the episode was taking place in the flashsideways timeline, but then it began to grow on me. It was no longer just a boring everyday reality, it was Lost and crazy stuff was happening AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHY! :) Well, at least they are now telling us more what the FST has to do with our story. I still think revelations like this would have been better to keep us interested in the FST up front, but then the other FSTs would have seemed even more boring, I suppose. What else did we learn?
Many Worlds Interpretation? Throw It Out
I think this episode ended the possibility of using the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics to explain things, as I was beginning to suspect. After all, the writers have often been talking about what is supposed to happen. Can we really have a discussion about fate if there is an infinite number of worlds where everything that could have happened has happened? But Daniel put the nail in the coffin, I think (Daniel Widmore, that is :D ) when he said that this timeline was a violation (was he the one that used the word violation? Someone did). They have other lives that they were supposed to have lived. But they set off a nuclear bomb to cause this timeline to also have existed.
All We Need Is Love
Love is the key. I think they kind of hit us over the head with that one tonight. What did Charlie see each time he almost dies? The woman he was in love with in our original timeline. And Desmond sees it, too. Penny. Sweet Penny. Love connects the two timelines, and I think that is perfect and poetic considering our discussion of Free Will vs. Destiny.
After all, you can talk about being "destined" to be with someone, but with out free will you can't love them, not really. If I'm being forced to love someone and I have no choice in the matter, I don't really love them; at that point, I'm just a robot.
They Stole My Scene
I was a little flabbergasted with the scene with Charlie walking straight out across a busy street, at first, because in a book that I'm writing that's exactly what one of my characters does. Charlie did it because he wants to die, but in my book the character does it because he knows he won't. So at first I was like "They stole my scene!", then I figured, well, no, that would be a common action for anyone that is determined to die like Charlie (or in the case of my story knows he won't die). Still, I liked Charlie in this episode. Not the happy-go-lucky Charie we know and love, but a creepy, determined to die Charlie.
They Got What They Thought They Wanted
Both Desmond and Charlie got what they wanted. Charlie's rock band had been successful and Desmond had gained the approval of Charles Widmore, was well-off and successful. But neither of them had love, which is what all of us as humans really want and need, and by the end of the episode Desmond realized that's really what he wanted, as well.
But Locke had love in the FST, not the OT. It might be something to think about. I don't know where to go with this one, at the moment.
And our Desmond experienced the FST when he was hit by the EM force on the island. That was quite interesting. And the experience made him do a total 180, ready to help Widmore with what he would ask of him.
Anyways, that's my thoughts on the episode for now.

When it comes to her golfing comeback, Rachel Hetherington is here for a good time, not a long time.
The eight-time LPGA winner has made an encouraging return to tournament play since coming out of retirement for this summer's Australian Ladies Professional Golf tour.
Hetherington finished tied fourth at the Victorian Open last week, shooting a final round five-under-par 69 including an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys.
That ensured she finished just five shots behind eventual winner Marianne Skarpnord from Norway in her first four-day tournament since October 2010.
But if you think this might be the first step in a longer journey for the 42-year-old you'd be mistaken.
Since her retirement Hetherington has become a mother to daughter Annie and opened up a golf range in Tweed Heads with husband, former cricketer Greg Ritchie.
"I didn't miss golf," Hetherington said on Tuesday ahead of the Ladies Masters at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast.
"I don't have any intention of playing overseas full time. I am enjoying these events and playing the Aussie tour, meeting the new girls coming up on tour.
"The fact that I know it's not all year is part of the fun too."
The winner of the Masters not only pockets $363,000 but also receives a two-year exemption to the Ladies European Tour.
The 2001 Masters runner-up, Hetherington says even if she takes out the tournament, it's unlikely to alter her plans.
"I'm a mum. I own a small business. I coach and I'm playing," she said.
"It's a lot to juggle for two months and I really don't think I could do it all year.
"I can't see myself travelling long-haul. I love being home."
