Seems like the Video part of Video chat was left out. Lol.
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
It's working for me. Blake Ahearn at the table first.
yea i reloaded the page and now it works. i missed blake.

Blake seemed like a nice guy. Mentioned that he had played some with Ian and Hill in San Antonio.
The moderator posted my question to Brian Shaw: How did you recover from the Family Feud incident?
I saw that and laughed for a good 10 minutes. LOL
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
I will say, after watching the Pacers for years, I can't remember a team that seemed this close.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
The video part still isn't working for me. I can't even hear them answering questions.
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
I'm using Firefox and it's working.
You might want to try a different browser or try updating your plugins.
I used a different browser and now I can see Chris and Coach V at the table, but I can't hear them talk no matter how high I turn up my volume. Just bad connection I guess.
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
It seems that every player has brought up DJ and his passing ability. Kinda makes you a bit excited doesn't it.
Lost feed here
Edit: reloaded again, works fine
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
Me too.
nothing big but Lance seems to have changed his number to 1
Lance wearing #1 now
does anybody know if Lance is suppose to get minutes this year? Wanna see him play! Hopefully he has improved his jumpshot, love his passing ability and court vision
It's painful to listen to an interview with Lance Stephenson.
After that, my feed dropped and I had to leave for a moment. What did Danny say?
Donnie's using a cane.
Well nice to sit and watch nba tv for an hour for the east previews and not here a word about the pacers already starting
Green can really talk the talk, really learned from his mistakes
Gerald Green is impressive. He has a great attitude.
There seem to be a lot of players picking numbers in the 20s.
Gerald Green seems so passionate about being on the team, and is showing his increased maturity in his interview. I am so impressed with him, and he seems excited to be here. I cannot wait for this season!!!

So, I liked Augustin in Charlotte, and I know this is the most talent he's ever had around him, but could he really be as good as everyone is making him out to be? I mean everyone on the roster has singled him out specifically this offseason.

IXICO will lead a project to develop a novel digital healthcare platform which provides earlier and more accurate diagnosis of dementia by opening up advanced investigative techniques usually only available in specialist centres to doctors diagnosing all patients. World-class computer-based tests of memory and thinking will be combined with computerised analysis of MRI brain scans to yield automated and accurate diagnostic reports that lead to rapid treatment and support for people with dementia and their carers. The three-year collaborative project aims to demonstrate that time to diagnosis of dementia can be reduced by 15 months and bring diagnosis rates closer to the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge target rate of 80%. IXICO will work alongside Cambridge Cognition, a leading UK developer of neuropsychological tests, and their project partners at King's College London, University of Sussex and Imperial College London.
PsiOxus will initiate a phase I/II clinical trial to assess the use of its ColoAd1 oncolytic vaccine in the treatment of platinum-resistant, recurrent ovarian cancer. The OCTAVE (Ovarian Cancer Treated with Adeno Virus) study will be the second clinical trial of ColoAd1, a highly potent, broad spectrum anticancer therapeutic capable of selectively destroying tumour cells at minute concentrations. The study will assess over 50 ovarian cancer patients and will be carried out at multiple UK cancer centres beginning in 2013. Professor Iain McNeish, from the Institute of Cancer Sciences at the University of Glasgow, is Principal Investigator.
In addition to the funding for PsiOxus and IXICO, a further Innovations portfolio company, Photobiotics, a multidisciplinary biotechnology company developing technologies to target drugs directly at tumours, received a smaller award from the Biomedical Catalyst earlier in the year.
The government-backed Biomedical Catalyst is a £180 million funding programme for businesses and academics in the life sciences sector which is managed jointly by the Technology Strategy Board and the Medical Research Council. As part of this round of funding, grants totaling over £39 million have been awarded to over 30 projects led by SMEs and universities to accelerate the development of innovative solutions to healthcare challenges.
Susan Searle, Innovations' CEO, said:
"The Biomedical Catalyst is an enterprising government initiative that will provide significant leverage to companies developing important medical technologies with the potential to greatly improve patients' lives. We are delighted that our portfolio companies have received a strong endorsement from the programme, and the funding they receive will allow them to accelerate development and enter the market more quickly."
Derek Hill, CEO of IXICO, said:
"There is an urgent need for scalable, high quality ways of making a timely diagnosis of dementia, enabling patients and their carers rapid access to the right treatments and support. Through the receipt of this funding award, we will be able to demonstrate an approach that will provide high quality information to underpin rapid diagnosis of dementia."
John Beadle, CEO of PsiOxus, said:
"Matched funding such as that provided by the Biomedical Catalyst is critical to help boost the UK life science sector and early stage biotechnology companies such as PsiOxus. This grant will enable PsiOxus to examine ColoAd1 in a second form of metastatic cancer, thus demonstrating its potential as a broad spectrum anti-cancer therapeutic."

The fruit of an extensive series of advisory meetings and public input, there is nothing particularly wrong with the nine proposals Council has been asked to consider as one or, for that matter, with any of the other ideas Henry outlined in October. But with six of nine available Council votes needed for spending approval, and with at least two Council members expressing reservations, it would be better for all involved to address those concerns now.
With so much money on the table, disagreement concerning its best use is not only inevitable but healthy. But many of the concerns deal with the process itself, beginning with the fact that Council members and the public have been given only one week to consider the specifics of Henry's proposal.
"We had no chance to talk publicly about the projects with dollars attached to them," said Russ Jehl, R-2nd.
Jehl wonders whether Council is in danger of committing itself to spending money it does not have and will not have for many years. With $30 million set aside, Jehl points out the Legacy account contains only $17.9 million in available cash – or about $2 million less than Council is being asked to spend Tuesday.
Some of those projects will be phased in over several years, so some could argue interest and other income will fill in the gap.
But Jehl said it will take years for interest earnings to provide the money needed for other Henry proposals, including $8 million for riverfront development, $8 million for a "downtown opportunity fund," $6.5 million to endowment funds for higher education, public services, public art, entrepreneurship and $6 million for youth sports.
If the city wants to spend that money any time soon, he said, it may have to use anticipated interest income to repay a bond – a plan that would create debt and should be discussed now, he added.
"Do you really think we're going to spend $500,000 on a riverfront development study then not do anything?" he asked.
John Crawford, R-at large, meanwhile, is skeptical of any future request to divert Legacy funds into endowments controlled by other groups. Who will make spending decisions? How? And as Crawford asked, why give those groups all the money at once instead of making them justify smaller annual requests?
Even Tuesday's proposal to invest $1 million in the existing Downtown Development Trust is problematic. The trust was created by the Economic Development Alliance and the Downtown Improvement District to buy and redevelop properties and recently paid $250,000 for the former Instant Copy Building on Wayne Street.
But that purchase – completed out of the public eye – was made with private funds. The public deserves more accountability when public money is involved. The Legacy fund was created through the sale of the old City Light electric utility.
And Crawford properly wants any Legacy funds earmarked for river improvements or other redevelopment projects to include a performance bond that would require the developer to complete the project. The lack of such a bond on the Harrison condominium/commercial project is one reason the city had little recourse but to stay with the same developer years after the project should have opened.
"That's one lesson I learned from Harrison Square" said Crawford, who is also skeptical of Tuesday's proposal to crate an $8 million "Downtown Higher Education Opportunity Fund."
In July, University of Saint Francis officials told The News-Sentinel their plan to buy the Chamber of Commerce Building and other nearby properties for its business school required $4 million in Legacy funds to complete within 12 to 18 months. Since then, however, the school has purchased those properties – leading Crawford to wonder whether the school really needs the help.
Although City Director of Community Development John Urbahns correctly noted that Tuesday's vote would not commit Council to endorse future projects, approval could obligate additional spending. As a result, all proposals should be explained and examined sooner rather than later and, with that in mind, Council should have a robust discussion of the mayor's entire proposal and would be wise to consider each project individually – or defer action on the $20 million package.
Urbahns, in fact, said Council has the authority to delay a vote another week. That could be time well spent. Twenty million dollars is a lot of money, but it can be spent very quickly and only once.
It's important to get it right from the beginning, with as much support from Council and the public as possible.

Why a Policy on Relationships with Student-Athletes?
Sexual relationships between coaches and student-athletes have become a serious problem. NCAA member
institutions must unambiguously and effectively prohibit such relationships to ensure that sport programs offer
a safe and empowering experience for all student-athletes.
This NCAA resource is designed to educate member institutions and their student-athletes about why sexual
or romantic relationships between athletics department staff and student-athletes are inappropriate, how to
avoid those relationships, and what to do if they occur. When adopted and enforced by institutions of higher
learning, this model policy will help create a safe, healthy environment on college campuses. Although most of
the examples offered herein refer to coaches, the policy is intended to provide clear guidance for all members
of the athletics department (including coaches, administrators, athletics trainers, and other staff), as well as
student-athletes and parents.

Photo gallery: Thousands take oath for U.S. citizenship in Pomona
POMONA - Just as the nation is divided on immigration reform, so were the viewpoints of some of the more than 4,400 Southern Californians who came to Fairplex on Tuesday to take the Oath of Allegiance and became U.S. citizens.
Residents of seven counties gathered in Building 4 for two naturalization ceremonies conducted by the federal government's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Los Angeles District Office.
The day, some said, represented a huge achievement.
"It's like you're born again," said Burbank resident Shak Ebli who came to the U.S. from Iran about 5<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 years ago. "Most people don't understand how you feel."
Sina Afamasaga, a native of Samoa now living in Anaheim, said becoming a U.S. citizen "means everything It means a new life."
The ceremonies took place hours before President Barack Obama delivered an address in Las Vegas outlining his immigration reform plan and a day after a bipartisan group of senators presented their own proposal in Washington, D.C.
Some on Tuesday viewed immigration reform and efforts to legalize illegal immigrants as something positive but others saw it as something that rewards those who did not play by the rules.
Ebli said getting to the U.S. was not an easy feat.
The process that led to authorizing his entry into the United States required three trips to Dubai and the American consulate there. There is no such office in Iran, he said.
Facilitating the immigration process for those in the U.S. illegally isn't fair to those who have waited and gone through all the required steps, Ebli said.
Those who come here illegally probably faced difficult circumstances that prompted them to take the route they chose.
"There are so many troubles. It's really hard to do it like that but it's cutting ahead of the line," he said.
Jake Peralta of Glendale, who came to the U.S. from the Philippines six years ago, said educational and career opportunities have opened up for him in this country, and he hopes to advance even more.
But he has concerns about immigration reform.
"We have been through the process and waited years and years" to comply with it, he said.
Illegal immigrants "should at least go through the process and not cut ahead of the line," Peralta said.
Tharita Mulroney, who attended the ceremony with her husband, actor Dermot Mulroney, said Tuesday's ceremony represented the end of a long process.
The native of Italy came to the U.S. with a student visa 15 years ago, she said.
Some time after arriving she was offered a promising job opportunity.
"It was the land of opportunity, and I decided to stay," she said.
She saw a lawyer who helped her negotiate the road to permanent residency.
"It was a long process to get a green card," she said, but it was one she handled alone and long before she was married.
It was a lengthy and expensive process, Dermot Mulroney said.
"It took her 14 years and $50,000. It makes me wonder how someone without those means can do it," he said.
Tharita Mulroney said she's happy she was able to go through the appropriate channels in the immigration process.
Others may not have the same opportunity, and she's not one to condemn them.
"It's not for me to judge because everyone has their journey," she said.
Eduardo Ramirez of Moreno Valley, who came to the United States 32 years ago from Mexico, said immigration reform is necessary to give those who entered the country illegally a chance to move ahead and prosper.
Being in the country illegally brings with it challenges and makes it impossible to have something as important as a driver's license, he said.
"I too was illegal once. I went through the same thing they did," he said in Spanish.
It was through the amnesty program of the Reagan administration that he obtained permanent residency.
Immigration reform presents a much-needed opportunity.
"There are many of us who value this opportunity," Ramirez said.
Matilde Barrando Hernandez of Los Angeles came to the United State 18 years ago from Guatemala.
"This is a great day, a very special day," she said in Spanish.
When she came to the United States 18 years ago "like many others I came with a suitcase full of hopes," Barrando Hernandez said.
She found opportunities and the peace that didn't exist in what was then a war-torn Guatemala.
As a citizen Barrando Hernandez said she looks forward to voting and being involved in the community.
"Perhaps helping out institutions even if it's through (volunteer) service," she said.
Illegal immigrants should have a chance to achieve their dreams just as those who arrived legally, Barrando Hernandez said.
They "are in need of everything and in need of good opportunities," she said. "They are making contribution through hard work and by paying taxes."

Detwiler cleared to start vs. O's on Tuesday
WASHINGTON -- Nationals left-hander Ross Detwiler's bullpen session went well on Saturday afternoon, and manager Davey Johnson said he has been cleared to start against the Orioles on Tuesday.
Detwiler said he threw "a little harder" than usual and took a five-minute break to simulate the rest between innings. He wanted to be absolutely sure that his right oblique, which caused him to miss his last start, will not create more problems.
"Any time you get healthy again, it's definitely going to be a relief," Detwiler said. "I kind of went and threw a little harder today than I normally would, just so I wouldn't have any, I wouldn't hold back anything. I proved to myself that I was healthy and I'm ready to go."

Seems unusual...
Not entirely sure what you are asking.
Unlike TNT on Thursday night or ABC on Sunday, ESPN does not have exclusive rights to the games they broadcast. So the game will be on both ESPN and FSNI in the Indy area. A couple of weeks ago when the pacers played the Knicks at home it was on Thursday night and TNT broadcast and that prohibited FSNI from broadcasting because TNT has exclusive rights to their games.
Is that what you are asking?
This is the first Pacers game I remember in a long time that had both a non-NBATV national broadcast coinciding with a local broadcast.
I'm confused by the question as well. If Fox Sports has the rights to broadcast the game, why wouldn't they?
I would prefer watching on FSN. The broadcast on ESPN for the Grizz game was pretty terrible. They lack a lot of knowledge about the Pacers (and Grizzlies) it seems.
Not everybody gets ESPN. I know its a small percentage. I think this is a holdover from the Channel 4/59 days were the national cable broadcast was still available to the local market over the air.
Pretty sure in Chicago that there is nothing I can do to get the Pacers own broadcast of FSI/ FSMW on Friday night. ESPN is my only option but FSI/ FSMW are alternatives to ESPN within x miles of the arena.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
Any games broadcast on ESPN (even in the first two rounds of the playoffs) can also be broadcast on the local broadcast. Not unusual for teams on ESPN a lot.
I'm glad...ESPN has some of the worst NBA guys.
Pasch. Ugh. Jones. Ugh Ugh.
Hubie I think did 3 of the games in the playoffs between the Heat and Pacers and JVG did game 6. Hubie is the best ever IMO, I always learn something. I mean who can't enjoy hearing him talk about the "painted area"
Last edited by Unclebuck; 01-31-2013 at 05:19 PM.
although I'm going to the game I'd still prefer FSN
Negative. It has been confirmed that we get Mark Jones and Jon Barry, two of the worst play by play guys I've ever heard.
That sucks
Indeed. Jones is the one that did the Memphis game on MKLJr. day w/ Mullin. Jones said Lance Stephenson was a rookie. Mullin called Stephenson "Lance Armstrong" and called D. West "Mark West". Between the 2 of them I had to mute the tv. I loved Mullin as a player but he SUCKS as a commentator.
Alrighty then.
FSI it is.
The ONLY ESPN crew I can stand is featuring Hubie. Usually Tirico and Hubie.
Van Gundy is ok because he doesn't have a filter, so he'll actually be honest about **** poor officiating/coaching/playing, as opposed to announcer speak.
Can't stand Breen (BANG!). Doris sucks. Pasch is a moron.
Schulman is good, Tirico is ok, and I'd say that's it for me. Lot of guys that think they're more important than the game, ala Joe Buck.
Might as well just use the Heat broadcast
Yeah, I know. That's what is goofy about the continuation of that old rule. Are there still "local channels only" versions of cable-tv packages? Having been on DirecTV and owning the NBA LP and NFL ST for like 17 years each, I have no idea if that's even an option any more.

Well those are my options...
I have to work that night. I'll probably DVR both broadcast , watch ESPN 1st but if it is horrible switch it over. I like Chris and Quinn or Austin but I like to hear other announcers comments on Pacers now and then. Its really sweet if the Pacers are beating a TNT - ESPN fav team.
Nah... Then all you'll hear is how the Heat are just having a bad game or someone is sick, etc. God forbid that a team could actually figure out how to play them effectively!

TIBURON RESIDENT and Redwood High graduate Jake Anderson took a wide pass on the far side of the field in Cal's semifinal match against UCLA in the Collegiate Rugby Championship Sevens earlier this month.
Only one defender stood between Anderson and the goal line.
Anderson needed a quick decision: Either go through UCLA's Grant Penney or go around him. He chose neither.
Anderson soared over Penney to score the game-clinching try in Cal's 33-21 victory.
The play, which has been penned as "The Hurdle" on Cal's athletic web site, was televised live on NBC.
Play-by-play announcer Bill Seward, while viewing the replay, was almost at a loss for words when he commented, "And the young man from Tiburon, California "... boom!"
Anderson's hurdle gained him instant notoriety on a Bears team which went on to defeat Life University 19-14 for their first national championship in the seven-man version of the age-old game.
"We played play UCLA four times in the past year," Anderson said. "I had played against that kid (Penney) and had a good hunch he'd go low so I decided to go over him. I thought about going over him when I saw him coming toward me. But it was more of an instinctive decision than a real thought process. It happened pretty fast."
Anderson, a junior and an All-America selection for the second consecutive season, should be used to the upbeat tempo by now. He's pretty much living life in the fast lane these days. Less than two weeks after Cal's championship victory, Anderson left Wednesday with the All-America team for three matches in New Zealand.
Playing with the All-Americans is a springboard to even bigger things — sort of a testing ground for a potential selection to the U.S. National team, which will compete in the 2016 Olympic games, where rugby returns in the seven-man per side version of the sport.
"Jake has a chance to make the Olympics team," said Cal rugby coach Jack Clark, who has guided the Bears to a phenomenal 559-71-5 record in 30 seasons at the helm. "He'd be a serious prospect at this point."
Anderson, who was a two-year all-MCAL football selection as a quarterback/safety for Redwood, started playing rugby for the Marin Highlanders during his sophomore season in high school.
"Playing on the All-America team is a pathway to get (to the Olympics)," Anderson said. "Right now, I'm just taking the proper steps and see where it leads. I keep aspiring to go to the next level."
Clark, who knows a thing or two about exceptional rugby players — he's coached 22 National Collegiate 15s Championship teams — says Anderson possesses all the right stuff.
"He's highly-composed player, a bit of a baller. In fact, nothing seems to rattle him much," Clark said. "He's a skilled rugby player. He can pass and kick and carry the rock and he puts in his tackles, a very complete player. I'd say he is one of a couple of guys on this team who is one of the core leaders of the squad."
Anderson said he jumped — although he might have hurdled — at the chance to play rugby at Cal, far and away the most successful of the 29 varsity sports at the university.
Although no rugby scholarships are offered at Cal, Anderson said the sport was his ticket into the prestigious university. Anderson, at 6-foot-2 and 207 pounds, said he received some NCAA Division III offers to play football. But when Cal accepted him to play rugby, the decision was an easy one.
"Because of rugby, I had the opportunity to go to Cal, one of the best schools in the world," Anderson said. "If you play rugby, they can tag your application to get you into the university."
Anderson said one of his favorite parts of rugby is the on-the-fly aspect of the sport.
"There's not a lot of coaching going on during the course of a match," he said. "It's a real quick-thinking game where players have to make instant decisions as the action unfolds. There's no doubt, smart players help the team to win."
Clark said he had a strong feeling about his group of guys heading into the sevens season last fall and right into the winter 15s season, where Cal finished runner-up in the nation, losing in the championship match to BYU.
"It's just about having enough guys with enough experience under their belts so they can be operators on the field under difficult circumstance and unfriendly environments," he said. "This year we had enough guys who were pretty steely-eyed who knew what it was going to take and they worked hard enough and prepared well enough to get the job done."
Cal had not captured a CRC7s title in four trips to the tournament. The Bears advanced to the final of the inaugural CRC in 2010, losing in overtime to Utah. In 2011, Cal lost to the Utes again in the quarterfinals. Last year at the CRC, Cal won the bronze medal with a 26-7 victory over Life to bounce back and finish its season with a win after narrowly dropping a 21-19 decision to Dartmouth, which went on to win its second straight CRC. Cal's all-time record at the CRC is 13-3.
"It feels great to finally get a sevens championship under our belt," Anderson said after the victory over Life. "It's a close-knit group of guys that looked each other in the eyes during every game we played and said we're not going home losing, and we got the job done."

Film Society of Lincoln Center Announces A CLOSE-UP OF ABBAS KIAROSTAMI, 2/8 -17
The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today a rare chance to take in the full measure of a master filmmaker with A CLOSE-UP OF ABBAS KIAROSTAMI from February 8-17. The series will include 10 days of sublime shorts, his earlier work as a documentarian and a selection of narratives through a stunning string of films in the 1990s through to the present day. The Film Society of Lincoln Center will also open Kiarostami's latest masterpiece, LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE (A Sundance Selects release) theatrically on Friday, February 15.
FSLC's Director of Programming, Year-Round, Robert Koehler, says, "It is with great pleasure that the Film Society of Lincoln Center presents A Close-Up of Abbas Kiarostami. Fittingly coinciding with the public release of his latest sublime work, LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE, which we just screened and celebrated at this year's NYFF, this retrospective offers a comprehensive look at a filmmaker who has excelled as a cinema artist working in all forms--fiction, non-fiction and shorts. Few living filmmakers deserve such a comprehensive and thorough survey."
LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE is a mysterious and beguiling romantic drama, which once again finds him playfully blurring the line between fiction and cinematic construct. When Akiko (Rin Takanashi), a lovely Tokyo student who moonlights as a call girl, is dispatched to a new client in the suburbs, she is surprised to find the shy and elderly Takashi (81-year-old stage actor Tadashi Okuno), a committed academic constantly distracted by work-related phone calls. The lonely widower seems far more interested in playing house than having sex, however, and the young woman soon falls asleep. The next day, when the two encounter Akiko's volatile boyfriend Noriaki (Ryo Kase), Takashi plays into Noriaki's assumption that he is actually Akiko's grandfather. As the three settle into their new roles, Takashi finds himself becoming the protector that Akiko so desperately needs.
Abbas Kiarostami was born on 22 June 1940 in Tehran, Iran. He showed a keen interest in drawing early on and, at age 18, entered a graphic-art contest and won. He studied at then fine arts school in Tehran whilst making ends meet as a graphic designer, poster illustrator and commercial ad director. In 1969, he founded the cinema department of the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children & Young Adults, which is also where he directed his first short films.
In his first film, The Bread and The Alley (1970), Kiarostami explores the weight of images and the relationship of realism and fiction. His preferred theme, the universe of childhood, is expressed over a long series of short, medium length and feature films, during which he has managed to establish a subtle balance between narrative and documentary style. Homework (1989), his last childhood film, is a good example of warm and poetic cinema that discreetly denounces the heavy aspects of Iranian society.
With Close-Up (1990), he turned a page. In less than one week, the director embraced a news story and, with the participation of the real life protagonists, made it a pretext to introduce reality into the realm of fiction. Life And Nothing More (1992) and Through The Olive Trees (1994) complete a trilogy that began with Where Is My Friend's House? (1990). In the latter, the devastating effects of an earthquake in northern Iran serve to uncover the lie that is cinema.
Taste Of Cherry (1997) marked the director's coming into his own, and his entry into the ranks of award winners. The film, which tells the story of a 50-year-old man's obsession with suicide, is an ode to individual freedom. The film was praised by critics and denounced by religious authorities in Iran. A slow and contemplative pace, limited intrigue, and references to Persian poetry and Western philosophy are the trademarks of this deeply original director's work. His taste for improvisation is grounded in loosely written scripts, amateur actors, and his own editing. The Wind Will Carry Us (1999), the story of a group of city dwellers who go to find something in a rural village, is yet another example of his unique style. The film was also his first creative collaboration with Marin Karmitz and MK2.
Since 2001, Kiarostami has been involved in a love affair with a small camera and, as a result, works only with digital film. He has gained more freedom with this «camerapen» of his and has with its help, directed several nature films of varying lengths, between fiction and documentary: ABC Africa (2001), Ten (2002), Five Dedicated To Ozu (2003), 10 on Ten (2004), Roads of Kiarostami (2005) and Shirin (2008).
With Certified Copy in 2009, Kiarostami comes back through fiction to a bigger production and shoots for The First Time out of Iran - in Tuscany - with an international cast. Juliette Binoche received the Best Actress award during Cannes Festival where the film was presented in the Official Competition. After Italy, Like Someone In Love, a production similar to Certified Copy, brings Abbas Kiarostami to Japan, a new universe to discover.
Abbas Kiarostami, 2001, Iran; 85m
Invited by the U.N. shortly after the turn of the century to document the fate of Uganda's nearly two million AIDS orphans, Kiarostami turns his first feature shot on video into a reflective work that considers his own position as a privileged filmmaker in impoverished circumstances-not unlike the central characters in several of his previous films, from Life and Nothing More to The Wind Will Carry Us. Made over ten days, this journey uncovers an indomitable life force in the children, their joy conveyed by a nearly goofy looseness in front of the camera, and group performances that can't help but transfix the viewer.
Certified Copy/Copie confirme
Abbas Kiarostami, 2012, France/Italy, 35mm; 106m
On paper, Abbas Kiarostami's return to narrative filmmaking after a decade of experimental video projects seems a risky proposition: a French production, filmed on location in Tuscany, with a European cast speaking in a mixture of English, French and Italian. But in fact, this close-up study of a relationship is a dazzling return to form. An antiques dealer (Juliette Binoche) and a philosopher (British opera star William Shimell) appear to meet for The First Time following one of his lectures, but soon we begin to suspect that there is more to this couple than meets the eye. Are they in fact husband and wife engaging in an elaborate charade? Or is Kiarostami showing us the beginning, middle, and end of a marriage in something other than chronological order? Nimbly juggling reality with cinematic illusion, and anchored by Binoche's emotionally naked performance (Best Actress, Cannes), Certified Copy is a stimulating and provocative Kiarostami coup. A Sundance Selects release.
Abbas Kiarostami, 1990, Iran, 35mm; 98m
A young man introduces himself as Mohsen Makhmalbaf, among the most celebrated directors of 1990s Iranian cinema, and enters intimately into the life of a family, and enters intimately into the life of a family under the pretext that he's scouting locations for a new film project. Deeply suspicious of the stranger, the father investigates his houseguest, leading to the con man's exposure and arrest. At this stage, Kiarostami and his real-life film crew enter the story to film the Makhmalbaf imposter's trial. Events preceding the young man's arrest are dramatized and reconstructed, but with the real people "playing" themselves. A masterful exploration of the nature of truth and cinematic illusion with a distinctly off-beat sense of humor, Close-Up has been widely hailed as one of Kiarostami's crowning achievements and one of the greatest films of the 1990s.
The Experience/Tadjrebeh
Abbas Kiarostami, 1973, Iran; 60m
Kiarostami's first feature deepens and extends his fascination with the lives of children and teens that he launched with his early shorts produced by Iran's The Center for Intellectual Developments of Children and Young People. A young orphan boy works where he sleeps, in a photography shop, which becomes an arena for his growing fascination with a more mature, middle-class girl. He ultimately clashes with the adults around him, even as he hopes to enter into their world-symbolically by practicing smoking cigarettes in a cinema. The film prefigures many of Kiarostami's developing concerns, including an acute sense of precise imagery (the director being a still photographer himself), the conflicts between childhood aspirations and adult disappointments, and the art of storytelling with as few words as possible.
Screening with
The Wedding Suit/Lebasi Bara-ye Arusi
Abbas Kiarostami, 1976, Iran; 57m
Pressured by two of his street kid pals, a young tailor's apprentice loans out a wedding suit intended for a spoiled lad, to be picked up by his mother the following day. Kiarostami combines his increasingly complex and witty perspective on the lives of kids scraping to get by in an adult world with an eye for suspense: What's this suit actually being used for by the boys, and will it be returned in time for the wedding? Subtly drawn class contrasts and the symbolic weight of an iconic object-the suit itself-underlines Kiarostami's ever-developing skills at observation and spare, exact storytelling.
*SUN. FEB 10, 1:30pm
Fellow Citizen/Amshahri
Abbas Kiarostami, 1983, Iran; 52m
Caught up in Tehran's insane bottlenecks and gridlock, a traffic cop tries to enforce the rules and regulations. Having done so, he then proceeds to demonstrate the flexibility of the law and the flexibility of...the traffic cop himself! Kiarostami, who was a traffic cop in his own youth, exploits the situation's maximum comic possibilities in this disarming documentary portrait.
Screening with
Abbas Kiarostami, 1980, Iran; 23m
From father to son, dental hygene has always been neglected in Mohamed Reza's family. Result: his father and grandfather both wear dentures. Mohamed himself is overcome with a violent toothache that leads to him being dismissed from school and sent to the hospital, where a specialist gives some sage advice in the art of dental care.
*SAT. FEB 16, 4:30pm
First Graders/Avaliha
Abbas Kiarostami, 1985, Iran; 85m
An Iranian elementary school in the mid-1980s: whenever a conflict breaks out, the students involved are sent to the principal, who questions them in order so that each may recognize his share of the blame. We follow the procession of students who've been caught being disruptive, fighting or calling each other names. The same ritual (questions, confession, repentance) is repeated with some variations and intercut by Kiarostami with another highly ritualized process: the daily 15 minutes of morning gymnastics!
Screening with
Solution No. 1/Rah-e hal 1
Abbas Kiarostami, 1978, Iran, 16mm; 11m
A youth trying to hitchhike back to his car with a new tire in tow can't get a ride even on a heavily traveled road. Fed up, he decides to walk, rolling the tire ahead of him. His journey takes him through a countryside so lovely he arrives at his destination utterly enchanted.
*SAT. FEB 9, 2:30pm
Five Dedicated to Ozu
Abbas Kiarostami, 2003, France/Iran/Japan; 54m
One of Kiarostami's most daring experiments and his first work to explore the creative possibilities of video, this film comprises five sections, all in fixed continuous shots focusing on moments with microscopic detail. The camera trains on driftwood floating in the water, or human passersby at the beach crossing paths with ducks, or a finale landscape before dawn where slivers of light become the stuff of pure visual drama.
Screening with
Roads of Kiarostami
Abbas Kiarostami, 2006, Iran, HDCAM; 32m
*THURS. FEB 14, 8:45pm
Homework/Mashgh-e Shab
Abbas Kiarostami, 1989, Iran; 86m
According to Kiarostami, Homework is not a film, but rather a filmed inquiry motivated by the nettlesome problems his own children brought home every night from school. In the delightful result, young scholars are questioned on camera by Kiarostami himself: backs to the wall, framed in close-up, they face the camera and talk about excessive amounts of homework, the allure of TV cartoons, and the punishment that results from temptation.
Screening with
Breaktime/Zang-e tafrih
Abbas Kiarostami, 1972, Iran; 10m
Punished for having Smashed a window with his ball, a child has to stand in the school hallway. When school lets out, he heads home but finds his way blocked by a football match. He manages to get through, but then follows a bumpy road that leads him to the outskirts of the city.
*SAT. FEB 9, 4:30pm
Life and Nothing More.../Zendegi va digar hich
Abbas Kiarostami, 1992, Iran, 35mm; 95m
After the earthquake that devastated Northern Iran in 1990, a filmmaker and his son try to drive to the village of Koker, located in the heart of the region. Searching for the two young actors who played in his film, Where is the Friend's Home?, the Kiarostami surrogate runs into all sorts of difficulties as he shows still pictures from the film to passersby in the hope of locating the lost boys. At last, the artist comes to understand that life, even in the shadow of disaster, reels splendidly on...
The Report/Gozaresh
Abbas Kiarostami, 1977, Iran; 112 m
During a period in his career focused on children and their deceptively complicated lives, Kiarostami pivots his camera to the lives of a married couple. The husband is woefully beset with problems, seemingly everywhere he looks. As a tax collector, he's already burdened with unenviable tasks and responsibilities. But to this, he must add accusations that he's receiving bribes. Even worse, at home his wife-who's rarely seen in the same frame with her husband-is considering suicide. The film features Shohreh Aghdashloo in one of her first screen roles.

Summer Afternoon
Abbas Kiarostami, 2006, Iran, DVD; 10m
Abbas Kiarostami, 2009, Iran, HDCAM; 92m
Over 100 Iranian female actors of the stage and screen, and one notable European star, are observed as they witness the (off-screen and thus unseen, but heard) performance of a live drama based on a 12th century work by Nazami Ganjavi, The Master of romantic epic Persian poetry. There's an unmistakable link, for Western viewers at least, to Shakespeare in both the play's thematic anticipation of the tragedy of doomed young love in Romeo and Juliet and the way Kiarostami honors the place and power of actors. Co-stars Juliette Binoche.
*SAT. FEB 16, 8:30pm
Taste of Cherry
Abbas Kiarostami, 1997, Iran, 35mm; 99m
In his dust-covered Range Rover, Mr. Badii (Homayon Ershadi) winds up and down the rocky mountain passes in Tehran's outskirts. He is searching for someone to perform a simple task-to come to a specified location the following morning and throw 12 spades of dirt on top of a shallow grave in which he will be lying. It is a job, in a country where religion and politics are so delicately interwoven, for which there are few eager applicants. From this deceptively simple scenario, Kiarostami creates a remarkable contemplation on the small miracles of everyday life and the elusive nature of happiness--a patient, poetic and profoundly beautiful work that confirmed its director as one of the masters of modern world cinema. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.
*FRI. FEB 8, 8:30pm; MON. FEB 11, 3:30pm; SUN. FEB 17, 6:30pm
Abbas Kiarostami, 2002, France/Iran/USA, 35mm; 91m
The set-up in this elegant and engrossing Kiarostami experiment is deceptively simple: over a period of days, a woman ferries passengers by car from one place to another in Tehran. Among them are her young son, who can't grumble and complain enough about her, and five very different women. The ramifications of these journeys, however, are anything but elementary, since the women traverse and express the emotional and political breadth and depth of Iranian modernity. The entire film takes place within the car, a formal conceit that gains deep metaphoric resonance as each woman reveals a bit of her life and, in turn, life for Iranian women.
*FRI. FEB 15, 6:30pm
Abbas Kiarostami, 2004, Iran/France, video; 88m (Zeitgeist)
Kiarostami further explores his new-found fascination with digital video as he returns to the locations of his international breakthrough hit The Wind Will Carry Us. Always an artist unafraid of turning the camera on himself-or at least an alter-ego-he carries on a kind of dialogue with the audience, egging them on to ask questions about the cinema and its purposes, either as a means to uncover a new reality, or as a powerful way of telling a story. In his inimitable way, the filmmaker's questions only open up further questions.
*FRI. FEB 15, 8:30pm
Through the Olive Trees
Abbas Kiarostami, 1994, Iran/France. 35mm; 103m
In the second part of Kiarostami's lauded "Koker" trilogy, a filmmaker went looking for the stars of his previous film in a remote, earthquake-devastated mountain region, learning about life from the people he met along the way. In the trilogy's magnificent concluding chapter, Kiarostami looks at the making of the second film, Life and Nothing More..., from the same remove, evoking an Iranian variation on Truffaut's seminal movie-about-moviemaking, Day For Night. A lovely comedy of moviemaking errors, Through the Olive Trees revolves around the romance between a local stonemason, cast as an actor in the film-within-the-film, who continues to doggedly pursue his leading lady long after the cameras have stopped rolling.
*SUN. FEB 10, 8:00pm; THURS. FEB 14, 6:30pm
The Traveler/Mossafer
Abbas Kiarostami, 1974, Iran, 35mm; 83m
Kiarostami's first full-length feature (following the hour-long The Experience) depicts the adventures of a resourceful but amoral 10-year-old boy, Qasem, who will stop at nothing to see the Iranian national football team play an important match at a stadium in Tehran. By stealing money from his parents, swindling his schoolmates, and selling off his own football team's gear, he manages to finance a ticket and traveling expenses. But the trip that ensues doesn't quite go according to plan.
Screening with
Bread and Alley/Nanva kucheh
Abbas Kiarostami, 1970, Iran, 35mm; 10m
In this wordless, Chaplin-esque Kiarostami short, a small boy makes his way home clutching a loaf of bread. In an alley, he finds a stray dog blocking his way. Stymied, the boy tries to follow an old man, who sets off in the wrong direction. So, the boy is forced to confront his canine antagonist.
*SAT. FEB 9, 6:30; WED. FEB 13, 4:30pm
Where Is the Friend's Home?/Khane-ye doust kodjast?
Abbas Kiarostami, 1987, Iran, 35mm; 83m
Kiarostami first rose to international prominence with a modernist, humane trilogy of films set in and around the Iranian village of Koker, before and after a devastating earthquake there. Reflecting the director's multilayered engagement with cinema-and the audience-the trilogy begins with this lyrical tale of a schoolboy's journey to return a notebook belonging to his best friend. Kiarostami frequently uses children as protagonists, and his treatment of them is always enlightening: through them, he embraces the human condition in general. Though these kids' worlds are almost mystically charged with significance, they are also couched in a wry tone of comic realism. The simple, lyrical tale of Where is the Friend's Home is drawn from a poem by poet-philosopher Sohrab Sepehri, whose subject encounters places and moments of great beauty and wonder.
Screening with
Two Solutions for One Problem/Dorah-e hai baraye yek massaleh
Abbas Kiarostami, 1975, Iran, 35mm; 4m
Two young boys are classmates; when Nader returns his friend's notebook, the cover of which he has accidentally torn, the other is faced with two possibilities. Either he can quickly take revenge, or the two can both look for a solution involving glue and a little ingenuity.
*SUN. FEB 10, 4:00pm; TUES. FEB 12, 9:00pm
The Wind Will Carry Us
Abbas Kiarostami, 1999, Iran/France, 35mm; 118m
Kiarostami's masterpiece about a Tehrani camera crew posing as engineers to film the funeral of a 100-year-old village woman expected to die at any moment, marks a culmination of the filmmaker's desire for a cinema that encourages the viewer, in his words, "to complete the film." In a string of sequences that flow and blend into each other, the interactions between the outsiders functioning under certain false pretenses and the locals trying to go about their own lives isn't a formula for facile conflict, but rather the premise for a profound meditation on existence spanning centuries of culture and human activity. Winner of the 1999 Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion.

Digestive Disorders
Frequent Abdominal Pain
First off, I am asking this question because I am having second thoughts about a negative celiac test done @ 20 mo old on my child who is now 6 years old.(two of the blood draws needed to be redone the following week but they said the Celiac was OK??). It was originally done due to chronic diarrhea since birth along with falling off growth chart in weight at 18 mo.(good diet). He is currently at 25% and otherwise healthly except he VERY frequently has abdominal pain, complains on average every day with episodes of it getting really bad that it brings him to tears. It is at these times that his abdomen will become very hard and distended. He is not constipated as he still has frequent diarrhea, sometimes a few times a day. I have 2 other children that have none of this. I also find that he has "odd" complaints in the last year that I tend to "blow-off" but now am thinking I should be giving it more thought. His complaints will be out of the blue, no ryhyme or reason. Ex: blurry vision, "the TV is blurry again, brief loss of vision in one eye "it`s like my eye is closed but it`s not" ,joint pain (knee, ankle, wrists), thigh pain (always the same thigh), neck pain, chest pain, "my heart hurts", nosebleeds. All these episodes are sporatic and not long lasting, usually under 10 minutes except the abdominal pain that may last up to 30. He also is the shortest of all my children with the others being around 80%, he is at 30%. I don`t want to paint a picture of an unhealthy child. He is normally very active, eats a decent diet, is happy and friendly. I just am beginning to take more notice of these events and thinking they could be related. I would feel just awful if he has had Celiac all along and we have been doing nothing to ease his discomfort, that all of this could have been avoided. One of the reasons it is in my mind is because I refused a colonoscopy/endoscopy when the blood work came back fine and he was back on the growth chart at 5%. The GI doc left it up to us and we declined. No one else in our family has Celiac, so not sure why I`m still thinking of it. Do you think his complaints are enough to have him go back to a GI doc. Are they complaints that match another diagnosis? Or is he just a normal 6 year old with odd complaints? Thank you so much for reading this long question, I look forward to your reply.
This is not a straight forward problem. I can respond to the question regarding celiac disease with the comment that none of the blood screening tests for celiac disease are totally reliable before the age of 2 years. If symptoms persist, it would make some sense to repeat them when the child is older and the tests more reliable.
The additional complaints such as blurred vision and abdominal pain may have some relationship to migraines and review by a good neurologist may be indicated. The presence of complaints in multiple locations would likely indicate that migraine is less likely and that the pain is more functional or caused by things we do not understand so well but is real.
The complaints described may be compatible with irritable bowel syndrome but most pediatric GI specialists are loathe to label kids in the first years of life with this diagnosis. We see adults and children who may have pain associated with bowel distention or bowel movement that would not affect some others. In addition, behavioral issues such as stress or anxiety may also exacerbate these symptoms.

Quentin remains hopeful for Opening Day
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Padres left fielder Carlos Quentin still hasn't officially appeared in a Cactus League game, as the two plate appearances he got in a March 8 game against the White Sox were washed away by rain.
Quentin aggravated his surgically repaired right knee on Monday and hasn't been in the lineup, though manager Bud Black said he was doing "OK."
"I'm doing all right, working through some stuff," Quentin said. "I feel like I'm getting closer. I'm looking forward to that."
Is there a chance Quentin might not be ready for Opening Day on April 1 in New York?
"At this point, no," Black said.
After Friday's split-squad games, the Padres have 13 games remaining in Arizona and two more against the Rangers in San Antonio, Texas. The team then heads to New York to face the Mets.
Black had previously said he thought Quentin could get between 40-60 at-bats in games this spring, though at this point, that doesn't appear possible.
"You want players to be able to progress to get ready for Opening Day," Black said. "Carlos' road to Opening Day has been a little bit variable. There's still time for him to get up to speed by April 1 to feel good about it physically and mentally.
"Carlos will be the first to tell you that if he had his druthers, he'd be playing right now."

Rox backstop Williams knows 'D' is calling card
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Rockies quietly built catching depth during the offseason, and one of the quietest moves was picking up a strong defender in Jackson Williams, a former Giants Minor Leaguer.
Williams, 27, who was close to making the Giants' team last season, entered play Saturday batting .278 with two doubles and three RBIs this spring as a non-roster Rockies camper. While he isn't known for his offense -- a .219 career average with no year above .247 in the Minors -- he has lived up to his reputation as an above-average "catch-and-throw guy."
The Rockies haven't made a decision between Jordan Pacheco and Michael McKenry for the backup job to Wilin Rosario. But the most roster-friendly move would be for Pacheco to break with the club, since he is out of Minor League options. Then the Rockies can option McKenry to Triple-A Colorado Springs to work with Williams. Such a move could give the Rockies four catchers that they'd feel comfortable with in a Major League game, with the gifted Tommy Murphy working at Double-A Tulsa and trying to force his way into the big league picture.
Williams went from being on one team with an offensive catcher (the Giants' Buster Posey) to another (Rosario). But he embraces the fact defense is his calling card, and believes that trait will eventually give him his shot.
"When I got drafted [supplemental first round by the Giants out of the University of Oklahoma in 2007], catch-and-throw was always my forte," he said. "I've known that from the beginning, and it's what I take pride in.
"Buster is a once-in-a-lifetime player. Sure it was a little frustrating, because I want to play, but watching him, there were things I learned. He was drafted after me, but there are things you can learn from everybody. Same thing for Wilin -- the kind of year he had at the plate, there are things I can watch and learn."

ByWalter Dellinger
Editor's Note: Every Sunday after the newest episode of "Mad Men," lawyer and Supreme Court advocate Walter Dellinger will host an online dialogue about the show. Other participants include Columbia University history professor Alan Brinkley and Columbia University film and television professor Evangeline Morphos. Our panelists will post thoughts after the episode ends at 11 p.m or sometime the next day. Readers are invited to join in with their thoughts in the comments section.
Walter Dellinger, Supreme Court Advocate
What a year was 1969. Hippies pulling in one direction, computers in another. And the Mets won the pennant.
Last week, I wondered if Don Draper was becoming Dick Whitman. This week we learn that he is surely on the way up. And the metaphor for his (coming) revival is not the new computer, but the 1969 New York Mets. At his lowest point, Don finds a discarded Mets banner under his file cabinet. He drops in the waste basket. But the next time we see Don, he has retrieved the classic orange banner and hung it on the wall.
When he awakes from a drunken stupor, he sees it from upside down and stares at it. And he calls Freddy to take the day off (from doing no work, anyway) to see a Mets game.
And so all you Don Draper fans who don't follow baseball need to know that there is indeed hope for Don this season, at least if this deliberate invocation of the Mets has any meaning (and what on this show doesn't?). The New York Mets were relatively new to baseball and in their eighth season in 1969. They had never had a winning season, and were at that point a metaphor for futility. But in that year they became the "Miracle Mets" winning 100 games and upsetting the great Baltimore Orioles team to win the World Series.
From the back page of the sports section Draper is reading ("Frasier is the key") I'm guessing this episode takes place around June 23, 1969, the date of Joe Frasier's match with Jerry Quarry. The season is still young and the Mets astounding finish to win the pennant is yet to come. So I think we now have every reason to believe that Don will finish this season, as the Mets did, on a winning roll.
Evangeline Morphos, Columbia University TV/Film Professor
"The perils of technology," Don jokes when Lloyd interrupts him to ask for a light. "It's 1969, and you're unable to make fire." "Human error—I forgot to fill it." Lloyd retorts.
Earlier in this episode Don and Lloyd have engaged in a similar
conversation: "The IBM can count more stars in one day than we can in a lifetime," Lloyd says. " But what man lay on his back counting the stars and thought about a number?" Don answers.
The lyricism of Lloyd's passion for technology echoes the way Don used to talk about advertising; and each man's enthusiasm pits technology against creativity.This verbal sparring is far more complicated than two men bantering about the role of technology. It is really about whether or not Don will embrace the future.
At first it seems that Lloyd will be Don's way back into his old rhythm; and he is excited about the possibility of "Lease Tech" as a future account. But when Don goes in to pitch the idea to Cooper, he is shot down. And so are we as an audience. The show is signaling that it is about to make a turn–it refuses to go back.
In this episode the world of "Mad Men" bumps against the future—and the new is literally crowding out the established. The "Monolith" of the title is the giant IBM computer that is taking over the creatives'
lounge. "Why not let each client who enters that door know we have entered the future." Cutler announces to the assembled company.
But as the creatives scramble to salvage their red couches, and their creativity, it seems that it might be a losing battle.
Peggy is given her first major account—and Don is assigned to work under her. Although he is shaken by the new arrangement, he is game at first. "What's the strategy?" he asks. "Lou likes to start with the tags, and sneak up on the strategy" is Peggy's answer. Don is not about to do things Lou's way—and we don't want him to.
Roger and Mona are faced with a different kind of future—the cultural revolution. They head out to upstate New York to rescue their daughter from a hippie commune. Mona is unable to see the appeal this lifestyle has for
"These people are lost, on drugs, and they have veneral diseases."
Margaret's response makes it clear she won't accept Mona's old values:
'I don't have to lock myself in a bathroom with a pint of gin every day."
Roger, who feels that he can embrace the new (and has already embraced everything from psychiatry to free love and LSD), gamely stays overnight in the commune in an effort to connect with his daughter.
They seem to arrive at an emotional understanding as they contemplate the stars. But morning signals to Roger that enough is enough, and he tries, but fails to drag her home.
Nothing is really resolved—either for Don or Roger. Don has moved from funk to drunk, and been dragged out of the office by an accommodating Freddy. But at the end of the episode he is back at his desk—working.
Walter, I've been thinking a lot about your recent admonition to consider that "the very slowness" of Mad Men is its joy." "We don't ask of novels that every chapter stand on its on. We shouldn't ask more of Mad Men". You're right that character-driven television asks us to think differently about what we expect from each episode.
I was also struck by Alan's comments last week that Don's return reminded him of Odysseus' return home in The Odyssey.
In the cases of characters like Tony Soprano and Don Draper, are we looking at characters who should be considered in mythic terms?
There is a composite understanding of the great mythological figures—and Odysseus exists as a crafty trickster, a lover, a returning husband , a reluctant warrior—a man of many shapes. Our understanding of the character is prismatic, and depends on the circumstances. I think that is the way we have to take Don's character as we watch his journey. We'll have a better sense of him at the end:
but in the man time, it is a joy top watch the character unfold.
Alan Brinkley, Columbia University History Professor
Don left the agency for about six months, feeling lost and uncertain about coming back. Now that he is back, he can't find his way. He walks up and down the halls, but has no real place to go.
Even though Peggy's office is next to Don's they can't seem to work together. The old partnership has changed, and Peggy is now the one in charge.
Although Don promised he wouldn't drink in the office, he steals a bottle of vodka and pours it into an empty Coca-Cola can. He once again seems lost.
Even the friendship Don launches with Lloyd, (and I agree with Evangeline that they are kindred spirits) ends with Don attacking him while he is drunk. "You are the problem"—he accuses him.
All of the Sterlings seem lost as well. Margaret had fled the city and her family to live in a hippy commune, and Roger and his wife go on a road trip to rescue her. Mona leaves to go back to New York; but Roger stays. But after sleeping over in the commune Roger finally expects his daughter to return home with him. Margaret refuses to leave, and Roger has to find his way back to New York alone—muddied and broken.
It isn't just Don who is lost in this episode. Peggy, Joan, Roger, Margaret, and others can't seem to find their way. SCD is filled with people who don't know each other, and who can't connect. This is the feeling of the nation at that time. 1968 was a year of battles for social justice, equality and civil rights; but by 1969 America itself seemed to have lost it's way. At the end of the episode, Don sit at his typewriter. Is this a new beginning, or more of the same?
Gwen Orel, 'Mad Men' Recapper
SC&P gets a computer. Don goes back to work but it's hard, for a lot of reasons. And we see our first hippy commune, because Margaret, now called Marigold, is in it, which a lot of people predicted. Peggy continues to be drunk with power and unpleasant.
We open in California when Pete and Bonnie, on a dinner date, run into a man Pete knew from New York. George lets him know that Tom, Trudy's dad, had a heart attack—and also that he's no longer at Vick's, but at Burger Chef. A presentation is in the works. Bonnie is turned on by Pete's accounting skill.
When Don arrives at SC&P, nobody's there. It's not the apocalypse, but a presentation upstairs about the installation of a new computer. Jim Cutler and Harry Crane are wearing hard hats, and the creative lounge will be sacrificed for it. Roger tells Don the computer will do magical things like make Harry crane seem important. Don wonders whether that's a decision made on the partners level, but Roger replies it preceded him, and he can take it up with Cutler—but isn't Don still a partner when on leave? A gripe from Peggy demonstrates that she knows Lou doesn't get creative. He says the computer will be more use than the lounge.
Ginsberg says, "They're trying to erase us. But they can't erase this couch!" Don goes into his office, which once was Lane's. There's a New York Mets pennant under the desk. Aw.
Pete and Ted call New York because they have an opportunity to pitch to Burger Chef. The importance of this call seems to be that first they want to put Peggy on it—originally Ted's idea, because the product needs a woman's point of view– and then Don. Lou doesn't like that. After the call ends, Pete's happy Bob Benson won't get it.
Mona, Brooks and Ellery visit Roger, because Margaret's run away. Mona wants her ex to get their daughter but Roger thinks Brooks should go. Brooks ends up in a bar fight gets put in jail in Kingston, so Roger and Mona have to go get Margaret after all.
Don has an interesting conversation with Lloyd, of LeaseTek. Lloyd says in his experience the machines become a metaphor for whatever's on people's minds. The infinite quantities of information the machines contain is threatening because human existence is finite. Don doesn't seem worried by it, and later has a conversation with Lloyd about advertising. It seems to go well. Don says to him, other companies that have longer lasting computers "don't have you. And they don't advertise." Lloyd says, "Very nice." Just then Harry—in an awful velvet blazer—comes to take Lloyd to lunch. Don goes to see Roger, but he's gone for the day. So he goes to see Cooper, to go to LeaseTek, to push the company over the edge. It's a new industry.
Lou summons Peggy, flatters her and offers her a $100 raise. He puts her in charge of Burger Chef, and says she can have Don on her team. This is so clearly not what Pete or Roger were suggesting. Peggy summons Don and Mathis, another copywriter, to her office, via Meredith—the secretary with "the mind of a child" who seems to love Don, worries about what he eats and all– and asks
for 25 tags between the two of them. Mathis says, "I'll get right on it." Don asks, "What's the strategy?" and gives her a pained look when she says "Lou likes to start with the tags and then sneak up on a strategy." Peggy takes a sip of her drink after they leave with a self-satisfied smile. Hard to believe she would fall for such obvious chicanery of Lou's.
Don goes back to his office, throws his typewriter at the window, and leaves. On Monday he gets the research, but refuses to go to the meeting with Peggy, playing solitaire instead.
On the drive up, Roger and Mona talk about their marriage, and agree that lately Margaret has seemed serene, cruel and philosophical. Mona laughs bitterly and says she thought she was finally happy. Mona and Roger arrive at a sprawling white house. A boy in jeans calls for Marigold. Margaret comes out in a poncho and long dress looking young, peaceful and happy. She misses Ellery, but she's tired of accepting society's definition of her. Mona tries to give her sympathy about being a young mother, but is offended when Margaret says she's happy and doesn't have to lock herself in the bathroom with a pint of gin every day. Roger gives her the keys, then says "Marigold! Want to show me around?" Of course, he's been hanging with hippies. He fits in, peeling a potato for dinner, smoking a joint, sleeping in the barn with Margaret next to him in a sleeping bag. She remembers his reading to her, then says one of the books must have been her mother. She tells him that she's really happy. "I know," he says, and gives her a kiss. In the middle of the night, Margaret goes off with some guy, giggling.
But the next day it's different. Roger tells his daughter it's time to leave Shangri-La, and to take a good look and say goodbye to her friends. He picks her up and carries her but they both slip in mud. He tells her she doesn't get to do this because she's a mother. She accuses him of leaving her every day when he went to work. He walks off alone.
Cooper firmly rejects Don's suggestion and takes the opportunity to taunt him about why he came back, saying they've been doing just fine without him, asking "why are you here?" Don replies that he started the agency. "With a dead man, whose office you now inhabit," Cooper retorts. It seems unlike Cooper, who always seemed to like Don and didn't care when he found out Don had a fake identity.
Don's response? He steals a bottle from Roger's empty office, pours it in his soda can and gets drunk. He calls Freddy to go to a game (nice to see the Mets pennant on the wall). Before they go, Don goes up to Lloyd and says "You go by many names." Basically accusing him of being the devil. Which is very odd as he seemed to get Lloyd and not be afraid of computers. Anyone know what that's about? Freddy takes Don home, and he passes out.
Joan tells Peggy her raise was approved, and Peggy bites her head off, then explains. She says, "They didn't want to give me Burger Chef. They wanted to give me Don." At least she knows what's up, but it's disheartening that Joan thinks Peggy should rat out Don. Peggy thinks she or Don are both are being set up to fail, but Joan replies, hilariously, that she doubts anybody thought about it at all.
The next day he brings him black coffee. Don tells him that the second chance was not serious, and he's to write 25 tags for Burger Chef. Freddy tells him he won't get his job back from the bottom of a bottle. Killing himself would give them what they want. "Do the work, Don," he says.
Don returns to his office. The computer is being installed. Don tells Peggy he'll have her tags by lunch, and begins typing on carbon paper while the Hollies play "Carousel." It's an upbeat song. Is it an upbeat ending?
What do you think?

I found this in my grandfather's attic. His father gave it to him but doesn't know where he bought it from. I have no idea how it works or how to operate it. In fact, I don't know if it still works but its great for displaying in a media room. The best mystery is not knowing what's on those reels.

WORCESTERSHIRE is bracing itself for heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions on Friday as the cold snap looks set to worsen.
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for the West Midlands.
A depth of 10-15cm of snow is widely expected, with 25cm or more falling over hills and on higher ground between 4am and 6pm.
Blizzard conditions are also likely as winds strengthen from the southwest, creating the potential for some severe disruption on the county's roads.
Eddy Carroll, the Met Office's chief forecaster, said: "The snow is expected to be heaviest through Friday morning, slowly weakening and clearing east during the second half of the day. Clearly there is the potential for significant disruption to people's plans."
The weather is predicted to improve over the weekend but further outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow are expected to push in from the west at times. The snow that has fallen will be slow to melt and ice will continue to be a risk, especially at night.
An amber warning means people need to be prepared for the weather and take steps to protect themselves from the impacts of the severe weather.
Worcestershire County Council's gritters were due out in force again on all primary and secondary routes from 4pm today.
Some sections of road identified as more hazardous were set to receive an additional treatment from 4.30am, with freezing fog, light snow or sleet a possibility during the night.
With temperatures reaching lows of -5C overnight, West Mercia Police received reports of several accidents on the roads due to the icy conditions.
The AA has told motorists to take measures to prepare for the continuing cold weather and coming snow, including carrying out basic checks, carrying plenty of warm clothing, blankets, de-icer and a scraper as well as food, a hot flask and a fully-charged mobile.

The choice revealed Wednesday was "kind of a no-brainer," he said. The side-by-side interest among political candidates and around kitchen tables prompted the dictionary folk to settle on two words of the year rather than one for the first time since the accolade began in 2003.
"They're words that sort of encapsulate the zeitgeist. They're words that are in the national conversation," said Sokolowski from company headquarters in Springfield, Mass. "The thing about an election year is it generates a huge amount of very specific interest."
Democracy, globalization, marriage and bigot – all touched by politics – made the top 10, in no particular order. The latter two were driven in part by the fight for same-sex marriage acceptance.
Other words in the leading dictionary maker's top 10 for 2012 were also politically motivated.
Harken back to Oct. 11, when Vice President Joe Biden tangled with Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan in a televised debate focused on foreign policy – terror attacks, defense spending and war, to be specific.
"With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey," declared Biden during a particularly tough row with Ryan. The mention sent look-ups of malarkey soaring on merriam-webster.com, Sokolowski said, adding: "Clearly a one-week wonder, but what a week!"
Actually, it was more like what a day. Look-ups of malarkey represented the largest spike of a single word on the website by percentage, at 3,000 percent, in a single 24-hour period this year. The company won't release the number of page views per word but said the site gets about 1.2 billion overall each year.

Even if your house has a modern 22″ high x 16″ wide (560 x 405mm) chimney opening with a Milner tapered firebrick, you can install a Victorian tiled fireplace with a Stovax front. Once in place, it is virtually indistinguishable from a full insert and is available with exactly the same choice of finishes, hood styles and tiles.
A 16″ tapered fire grate for use with solid fuels is an optional extra.
This model is available as a gas fire.
Visit our Classic Fireplaces page for more information.
|Brass Hood
|Gas option available
For homeowners who wish to reduce, obscure and embellish their larger chimney opening, the Stovax cast front is an ideal option. Properties that were built in the late 1920s were most likely to have a 22" high x 16" wide chimney opening with a Milner tapered firebrick. Stovax developed tiled fronts to slot into these types of fireplace openings. The tiles were even positioned at a slight angle to maintain the authentic look. These fireplace fronts can also be teamed up with Stovax's wood and stone mantels.
