Chad Kellogg Killed in Patagonia
February 16th, 2014 by Gripped Magazine | Posted in Ice, Mountain, News, Rock
American climber Chad Kellogg killed by rockfall while descending Fitz Roy.
Kellogg was killed form a rock that was dislodged by a rope. Patagonian climber Rolando Garibotti wrote on Super Topo, "Over two days Chad Kellogg and Jens Holsten climbed the Afanassieff Route on the NW ridge of Cerro Fitz Roy in southern Patagonia, reaching the summit in the late afternoon of Feb. 14. They started the long descent via the Supercanaleta. While pulling down their ropes, on the third rappel down, one of them got stuck. As they pulled to retrieve it the rope dislodged a block which hit Chad. He died instantly. It was 9 p.m. Holsten continued the descent alone through the night, reaching the base early in the morning to then continue to El Chalten, the nearest town. Because of the complexities of the location a body recovery will not be attempted. The world will undoubtedly be much poorer without him."
It was only two years ago, on Jan. 15, 2012 that Canadian Carlyle Norman died from rockfall on Aguja Saint-Exupery.
Our condolences to Kellogg's family and friends.

Monitoring sewer systems helped town save $775,000 over five years
The city of Manassas is helping to save on sewer treatment costs, so much so that in the past five years, it has decreased sewer flow by more than 123,000 gal per year, saving the city $775,000 as part of an aggressive inflow and infiltration program.
"Manassas utilities is in an ongoing process to review our sanitary sewer processes, making sure we're reducing overflows, maintaining proper capacity and rehabilitating any pipes," said Mike Moon, director of public works and utilities for the city of Manassas."By proactively monitoring our sewer systems, we're able to significantly save on sewer treatment costs and pass on some additional savings to our customers," said Moon.
Customers are billed on two basic rates: distribution and a "pass through" rate for treatment costs through the Upper Occoquan Service Authority (UOSA) treatment plant. Although Manassas City's sewer distribution rate has increased a few percentage points in the past few years, the inflow and infiltration program has helped reduce the pass-through UOSA costs paid by customers. In other words, customers' overall rate would have increased more if the inflow and infiltration program had not been implemented.
Inflow and infiltration are terms used to describe the ways that groundwater and storm water enter a sanitary sewer system, which is a pipe located in the street that is designed to transport wastewater from sanitary fixtures like sinks, showers, bathtubs, etc. This is not to be confused with a storm sewer, which is a pipe designed to carry rainwater away. Inflow is the water that is dumped into the sewer system through improper connections, such as downspouts and groundwater sump pumps. (Sump pumps that pump only laundry water or other sanitary wastes are not a problem.) Infiltration is groundwater that enters the sewer system through leaks in the pipe.
Manassas has conducted a sanitary sewer evaluation of its system and identified areas where excessive inflow and infiltration exist, as well as operates routine inspections and testing methods, which include smoke testing, TV inspections, manhole inspections, flow monitoring, dye testing, sump pump removal and pipe replacement.
The city of Manassas suggests customers can do their part also to save on their water and sewer bill and conserve water by: checking for leaks with all sink/toilet fixtures, turning off the water after wetting your toothbrush, reducing shower time, running the dishwasher when full and consider a compost pile, rather than relying on the garbage disposal which requires water for use.

So. You're getting old.
You and all your friends are getting married or settling down, popping out babies and buying (or trying to buy) houses. Those parties and get-togethers just aren't the same anymore with Yo Gabba Gabba! reruns playing on the TV in the background, the bottles of Red Stripe having been replaced with cans of Diet Coke, and discussions of Jenny Lewis' latest solo effort interspersed with 401(k) and mortgage chatter.
We talked a few months ago about parents who dress their kids like pint-sized versions of themselves—tiny halter tops and $375 Armani toddler suits—and this isn't too far from that.
Hipsters are getting older, and they—rightfully—don't want to swear off everything young, cool and hip just because they've got kids now. This means they'd never want to dress their children in anything they wouldn't wear themselves.

It's a tough market out there for this demographic: Hannah Montana shirts and Dora the Explorer onesies dominate the stores, but it's online storefronts such as Etsy.com that are providing alternatives with quality, handmade, one-of-a-kind items for parents seeking refuge from the mass-produced, the overexposed and, worse yet, the uncool.
And it's never too early to start raising your own little anarchist. Instead of pastel pinks and powder blues, BabyWit.com has been selling its unique range of baby and toddler clothing since 2003, including Sonic Youth, Billy Bragg, Edgar Allan Poe, Smiths, Alfred Hitchcock and Clash onesies, and even some pieces by cutesy (but not overly so and totally indie, you see) artists Meomi and Neko-Chan. Ever wanted to find a Lizzie Borden, Bukowski or Basquiat (all great role models!) shirt for your kid? Look to Baby Wit.
But it's Baby Wit's political tees that have been receiving the most attention as of late—one bright-yellow romper declares "Obamarama," complete with an image of Obama himself in a Saturday Night Fever disco suit and Afro ($28), while another features a bust of George W. Bush alongside the tag line "President Poopyhead" ($21-$24). Some other favorites: "My Parents Are Big Gay Liberals," "No Blood for Mohel!" and a horned Sarah Palin graphic that reads "Pro-Woman, Anti-Palin." Others feature a hammer and sickle; the ABCs, with the A replaced by the anarchy symbol; one that simply reads "Question Authority"; and another declaring "Another Dissatisfied Customer of the United States of America," along with a barcode.
Using your kids as your own personal bulletin board? Maybe. But at least everyone will know your kids' (obviously very liberal and very hip) parents have great taste in music, art and literature.

LORAIN — A domestic dispute escalated on Monday when an allegedly intoxicated Lorain man barricaded himself from police in his duplex.
Edward Heredia Sr., 47, was charged with domestic violence and obstructing official business at his home on 1819 Crehore St. about 10 p.m. Monday.
The incident began earlier Monday when Heredia's 19-year-old son, Steward Heredia, got into an argument with his father over money. Steward Heredia lives at 1821 Crehore St., on the other side of the duplex from his parents. He told police that his father yelled at him, pushed him and threw a piece of metal at his head.
When police arrived at the house in reponse to a call about a man waving a gun around, they found Edward Heredia, unarmed, sitting on the hood of his car, yelling and swearing, according to the police report.
As police tried to arrest him, Edward Heredia's wife, Julia Torres, came out of the duplex, yelling at him in Spanish. An argument ensued between the two of them, ending with Heredia chasing Torres back into their house.
Police tried to follow Edward Heredia and use a Taser on him, but police and the Taser were blocked by the door as Heredia locked them out.
Heredia barricaded himself and his wife inside the house and refused to come out, instead swearing at police through a window, according to the report.
Steward Heredia gave police a key to his father's side of the duplex, and officers were able to go in a back door and arrest Edward Heredia, who was bleeding from his head. He told police that during the earlier argument with his son he ran his head into a wall.
Heredia was taken to Lorain City Jail and was being held without bond.

Charlie Mars with special guest
Zach Broocke
The Evening Muse
3227 N. Davidson St.
Charlotte, NC
Doors 10:00 PM / Show 10:30 PM
Watch & Listen
"I love the rare feeling of people in a room being connected without having to share any ideology or belief system or style or walk of life or class or anything – where they can all just melt in to something magical," says Charlie Mars. "I want to explore sonically what that is."
Those keeping score will mark this as Charlie Mars' fifth album, but upon first listen, Like A Bird, Like A Plane can best be described as a new debut.
Over 11 songs, Mars hits a groove that does not signify any specific genre but instead is hardwired to hearts and hips. This is an album that writhes through the headphones, which will ultimately be tossed in favor of a living room dance floor. Mars has sewn together tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment, and personal destruction – all themes that may clash on paper but in music suggest mysteries that are organic to us all.
Before Charlie heard the sound he wanted on Like A Bird, Like A Plane, he saw it and felt it. It moved along the insistent curves of a burlesque dancer he'd met at Los Angeles' 40 Deuce Club, it snaked through the bend of late night crowds in the music halls of New Orleans and it hung in the air of the blues filled juke joints of his native Mississippi. "I started to feel less inspired by traditional rock and pulled towards the snaky, sinewy, sensuality of groove," says Mars.
Under no direction but his own, Mars bee-lined to Austin, Texas, where he solicited players who understood how to form all four corners instead of facing straight ahead: Drummer J.J. Johnson (John Mayer), keyboardist John Ginty (Citizen Cope), bass players George Reiff (Jakob Dylan) and Dave Monzie (Fiona Apple) and producer and guitarist Billy Harvey. Parts evolved from happy accidents or group decisions; in many cases, the sweet spot was hit at first take.
The musicians played to the fragile introspection of the lyrics, but not for reverence: the Lanois meets Graceland rhythms underneath are more in league with electronic dance or hip-hop.
That Mars toured with childhood heroes R.E.M. or built up a following loyal to his instinctual left turns is an unlikely story. Born in El Dorado, Ark and raised in Laurel, MS, Mars was raised in a Methodist home, the eldest of three brothers. Church music whet his palette, which materialized into a bedroom obsession with radio hits – all the 1970's singer-songwriters received regular rotation – which later gave way to the holy trinity of underground rock: The Smiths, R.E.M. and the Pixies. The years of indulgence made its mark: Mars took up guitar in high school and never looked back.
At Southern Methodist University he turned entrepreneur. After borrowing money and selling a car, he recorded Broken Arrow (1996), his debut album, which eventually sold about 40,000 copies. He became the classic grassroots artist, establishing his name one stage at a time. Mars toured the Southeast college scene, playing an average of 150 dates a year. With two more albums under his belt – Born and Razed (1997) and End of Romance (1999) – Mars could have kept the momentum ablaze.
Instead it burned out. Alcohol and pills crippled his endurance; his next stop was rehab. Upon departure, Mars left the country for Sweden where he sought solace in anonymity: performing for lunch crowds beside the ocean, sleeping in a houseboat that doubled as a restaurant. He wrote the songs that would become his major label debut which, upon his return to the U.S., seemed like destiny: A one-night casino win netted him enough money to buy studio time – and after its completion, he was summoned to New York City where V2 Records (White Stripes, Moby) signed him to their roster. The immediacy of it all came as a big surprise.
"I had no manager, no band, I hadn't toured for about two years – I thought my career was done," he says now.
But it was just the beginning. Charlie Mars (2004) gave him what he always hoped for: a wider audience, critical accolades, nation radio play, major touring slots in the U.S. and Europe, videos, red carpet friends. Rolling Stone called it "big emotional rock from Mississippi" with "a knack for hooks, and the hooks here have real barbs: They tug at you and just might draw some blood."
In that three-year period between 2003-2006, Mars experienced the highs of the music business and lows felt when the business starts to overshadow the music.
"I felt a sense of panic that, 'oh my god, if all this slips away, I'm finished.' I was constantly trying to make everybody stay in love with me," he says. "It got to the point I was exhausted."
With V2 folded, its roster cut, Mars retraced his steps until they led once again to solid ground: I had a vision for what I wanted and I went to Austin to see if I could make it happen.
Like A Bird, Like A Plane is rooted in conflict; one that began for Mars in childhood, having grown up in the church.
"I think the message of Christianity is beautiful – love and compassion and tolerance. I feel close to that. But when people co-opt that and use it to have power over others through shame and fear, it becomes a problem. I felt guilt about things which were really just a natural part of being a precocious, confused kid who was sensitive and aware," he says. "It created an internal conflict which I still deal with all the time. It wasn't until I got a sense of humor about some of it that I started to feel better and come into my own."
Facing those conflicts evolved into the themes of Like A Bird, Like A Plane. Mars pushed the musicians to find unusual hooks and invent ways to get into the songs that were less direct, which inevitably layered music with imperfections that sound human and vulnerable.
Songs hit boiling points at unexpected moments; their melodies remain subtle but always present. Because they are so rhythmically textured, while at eh same time spacious, songs reveal new things upon each listen. Mars sets everything to a groove, so listening can mean disappearing inside the music and following the ride.
"If I have a vision for this record, it would be for me and my band and the music to be at the center of an experience that people have dancing around a giant bonfire. And every night, you can go and get on that wavelength where it can all just melt into something beautiful for a while. That sounds pretty damn cool to me," says Mars.
Zach Broocke, born in Milwaukee, WI, grew up listening to Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens, and a lot of country tunes ala Willie Nelson, Don Williams, George Jones, Merle Haggard. Discovering he had a passion for songwriting Zach traveled to Boston to spend time compiling the songs that would make up his debut release, "Anywhere But Here Sessions" EP. He was greatly inspired by Simon and Garfunkel, coffee, Van Morrison, cigarettes, Greg Brown and Canadian beer.
Leaving Boston in the early fall of 2001 Zach headed for Nashville, where he recorded his first full length album "Be Somebody." This album was independently released by Suburban Sweetheart Productions, LLC, a production company/publishing house that Zach started in April of 2004. While in Nashville, Chad Brown, engineer/producer (Ryan Adams, Bob Seger, Steve Earle) introduced Zach to his writing partner Troy Johnson (Warner Chappell, Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban). The two of them penned many songs that were included on "Be Somebody" and Zach's latest release "Last Call" EP. For seven months Zach toured everywhere east of the Mississippi and filled rooms in Nashville such as Twelfth and Porter, Third and Lindsley and Exit/In, performing with great acts like Shawn Mullins, Carbon Leaf, Mack Starks, The Bees and Bob Schneider.
Zach left Tennessee in 2005 for California. In L.A. he formed a band with a new group of musicians including Lester Nuby/drums and bgvs, Jamie Wollam/drums and bgvs, Jared Leifert/bass, Joe Corcoran/guitars and bgvs. L.A. is where he finished writing and recorded "Last Call" EP. Zach has played many L.A. venues including The Hotel Cafe, The Troubadour, The Viper Room, and The Roxy and the El Rey Theatre splitting bills with Josh Radin, Tim Jones, Amos Lee and Todd Snider.
Still penning songs with Troy Johnson, Zach is also writing songs with Mike Busbee, Scott Bennett (Brian Wilson) and David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Evanesense, Chris Daughtry). Zach's song "Pullin up the Drive" from his "Be Somebody" album was featured in the motion picture "The Feast of Love" from Lakeshore Productions, released in 2007, starring Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. Plus, "Why Can't You," which he wrote, recorded, and produced by himself in three days, was featured in the motion picture "Henry Poole is Here" also from Lakeshore Entertainment released in 2008, starring Luke Wilson and George Lopez. He has had songs featured in MTV's "The Real World", Oxygen Network's "Bad Girls" and an online television show "Port City P.D." Zach's song "Remember Me" from his "Last Call" EP was featured in the April 07 issue of Paste Magazine.
As for 2010, Zach's just completed his latest album, "WatchDogLookOuT." Contributers to WatchDogLooKOuT include producer/engineer Chad Brown (Ryan Adams, Faith Hill), percussionists Ken Coomer (Wilco, Steve Earle) and Fred Eltringham (The Wallflowers, Rivers Cuomo), upright bassist Frank Swart (Morphine, Norah Jones), keys guru Curt Perkins (Josh Rouse, J.J. Cale), guitarist Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, John Hiatt), complete with the mastering being done by Andrew Mendelson (Van Morrison, Rolling Stones). With a half a dozen more ancillary players, the team's total discographies account for well in excess of 40 million records sold.
Lakeshore Records released Enjoy The Ride: Solo Writes 2001-12 on May 22, 2012. The album is a retrospective of Zach's solo writing skills and features the brand-new single, "Enjoy The Ride." Recorded and mixed in studios in Tennessee, Massachusetts, and California, this collection, written over a span of 11 years, showcases his personal and professional journey as a songwriter.
Zach's music is about all of the things we never say and wish we could have; all the times you let slip through your fingers; and being thankful for the moments where you then realize that maybe, just maybe, that's just the way it's supposed to go.

"it is more likely than not that there will be initial shortages."
He went on to note, "This also partly explains why the manufacturers have been somewhat judicious is allocating pre-sale units to retailers, so that there won't be a lot of unhappy customers from day one."
Sebastian went into what timing Microsoft and Sony would need to use to maximize profits.
"From a timing perspective, both platforms will want to launch before Thanksgiving/Black Friday, and ideally at least a couple of weeks in advance of that in order to replenish the retail channel," he stated, adding "In terms of who goes first, it would be certainly be ideal to launch first, and gain all of the initial attention and momentum, as console launches are really the only equivalent of a 'red carpet' event for the industry."
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are both sold out at online and brick-and-mortar retailers like Amazon.com and GameStop. The PS4 is scheduled to launch in November 2013, while Microsoft has yet to announce an Xbox One launch date.

Rotten Fruit
Why should the poverty situation in Israel be any better if in 2010 nothing has been done, yet again, to improve it?
Every year they promise things will be better next year. And every year the poverty report refutes the forecasts. It's safe to say things will be even worse next year.
Why should they be any better if in 2010 nothing has been done, yet again, to improve them?
The heads of state were far away the day the report was issued. The prime minister and his family were in America, as were the chairman of the Labor Party and the head of the opposition. As though they had nothing to do with this report, as though the reality it reflects is not their doing, not the rotten fruit from their own private paradise. For 1,774,800 Israelis, it is hell.
The constant increase in the number of the newly rich corresponds perfectly with the number of the newly poor. The more numerous the insatiable big fish are, the greater the distress of the small fish.
This is what happens when Benjamin Netanyahu turns out to be the bad old Bibi. As finance minister he pushed hundreds of thousands below the poverty line. As prime minister he isn't lifting a finger to lift them up. Why should he bother if they keep voting for him anyway?
This is what happens when Ehud Barak looks on life down here from high-rise penthouse. His party is immersed in its tedious affairs, blindfolded. Every year it receives this all-Fs report card. This is what happens when a "socially concerned" party like Shas raises two generations of poor people who are dependent on Eli Yishai's handouts.
This is what happens when wages have no ceiling and no floor. The coalition refused to raise the minimum wage but did not curb those whose salaries exceed NIS 1 million a month. Is it any wonder Israel leads the OECD in wage gaps and inequality? This is what happens when yeshiva students are bound with stipends and scholarships instead of being set free to work, when Israeli Arabs suffer discrimination.
Recent polls show most Israelis are satisfied with their lot. Blessed is the state whose poor are joyous. I must finish writing these lines; tomorrow is a new day, and it isn't "poverty day."

Grocery Shopping
I go on Sunday mornings by 7 am. Does anyone else shop at that time too? I find it the best time and no one is ever at the store, expect they usually only have one cashier open.
I go on Sundays because I usually need to buy fresh produce for DS's lunch, and if I buy it on a friday or saturday I find it sits and is all full of condensation by the time I need to. I'm very paranoid about mold too.
Ngi ne themba - I have hope.
I am at the grocery store 2-3 times a week, my son knows all the cashiers! haha.
I only grocery shop 2 times a month (big amounts) and thats out of town, I try to go as early as I can. With 2boys now, it is very difficult and cant fit much in the cart!
We go Saturday sometime before lunch, then I will make another trip mid-week to pick up a few more produce items.

9. Jessica Pene (MMA record: 7-0)
Pene is an extremely gorgeous woman with looks that rival Angelina Jolie, but that's not why she's on this list. The southern California native blends all aspects of MMA extremely well, but her standup precision is most impressive.
Pene has great timing and knows exactly when and when not to strike. She isn't known for being a knockout artist but she hits harder than most females and her accuracy is nearly perfect. Her standup ability compliments the rest of her skills and has played a big factor in her so far unbeaten record.

The artwork/colors used in this series vary, so rather than choosing between pink or white fabric, I took white fabric and dyed it with a hint of pink. I also applied the same dye bath to the pvc boots so they would match. I took a chance on trying to color pvc with dye, but it worked. I had to make my own gloves, because I have such long arms that opera gloves don't go up high enough. The hat was actually super easy to pattern, which was the one thing I dreaded the most. I made the skirt about four inches too short in my haste and had to remake it. I originally was going to have the skirt zip up in the back, but decided against that, in favor of making it a wrap-around skirt. The bottom of the skirt has painted on waves, that were measured out and stenciled on first. The wig is heat resistant in the color cobalt blue. It was midlength so I had to style and trim it. The spiky curls were made with a 1" flat iron.

Learning to Shape the World
Students in the Merrimack English program learn that literature, film and other forms of storytelling have the capacity to influence social change, challenge dominant versions of history, rewrite cultural myths, shape concepts of identity and represent aspects of lived experience that cannot be expressed fully.
They become knowledgeable about the ways in which culture shapes word, artist, reader, text and events, and they develop an understanding of the entire creative process, from the creation of imaginative writing to the interpretation of it by skilled, agile readers.
Our small course sizes promote close contact between students and professors and permit faculty to read carefully and respond thoughtfully to what students have written. We dedicate ourselves to fostering conversation about literature and writing in and out of the classroom; we learn quickly and remember our students' names; we devote individual attention to those who seek it.

Will Lightbourne, head of California's Department of Social Services, says there's no simple way to end the pattern of thousands of foster children spending much of their youth drugged into malleability — the horror eloquently revealed by reporter Karen de Sá on Sunday's Page One. He says it has to be part of the holistic rethinking of the entire foster care system that's under way, giving doctors better options than prescribing psychotropic drug upon psychotropic drug to control children who act out.
Really? Really? If this isn't a crisis, then what is?
The abusive use of powerful medications on kids with formative brains cries out for action. Each child who grows up scarred by this is a human tragedy and, in many cases, a lifetime burden on society.
Yes, the whole foster care system needs rebuilding, and yes, that could reduce the incentive to drug kids to alter behavior. But we can't write off the children in the system now. That's like declining to treat a cancer because the cure hasn't been found.
It's time to act. There are things the state can do now to at least begin to control the damage to children's minds and physical health.
Foster children are the most vulnerable of California's young. They are in state custody as a last resort because going back to their families is impossible. Thousands of them are given powerful psychotropic medications — often two or four or more at a time, prescribed to deal with behavior and not to treat the mental illnesses for which the FDA has approved them. These drugs can lead to lifetime health problems, such as obesity.
De Sá found 12.2 percent of California foster children who received a psychiatric drug last year were taking multiple drugs at the same time. System insiders say it's often in doses never tested to be safe for children, whose brains are developing. How is this even legal? How hard can it be to limit?
There are simple rules that could help. As one example, California appears to have cut the use of antipsychotic drugs in children under 5 a few years ago when it added a layer of documentation required of doctors. The Department of Health Care Services is looking at requiring the same for teen-agers. Why not immediately?
Three years ago the federal government identified overuse of psychotropics on foster children as a national problem and ordered states to make plans to control it. The committee California set up has moved at a snail's pace, unable to get access to prescribing information, among other issues. Members are frustrated. They don't expect to finish their work until at least 2016.
Frustration is no surprise. It took this newspaper nine months to get the data for these articles, and it's required by law to be public as long as identities are concealed.
Lightbourne, who previously ran Santa Clara County's social services, might be able to pull off a holistic remake of the foster care system. We hope he does. But massive drugging of California's foster children is not a problem that can wait. The state needs to act now.

(WSCR) Highly-touted free-agent forward Zach Parise has agreed to terms with the Minnesota Wild.
The Blackhawks had reportedly made an offer to the 27-year-old Parise, but he ultimately chose to team up with the recently-acquired defenseman Ryan Suter in Minnesota.
The deal is reportedly worth $98 million over 13 years.
Parise, a Minnesota native, recorded 31 goals and 38 assists with the Devils last season.

LOS ANGELES -- No one is quite sure what came to the river town of Point Pleasant, W.Va., in the 1960s.
Was it an alien? An angel? The devil? Or merely an instance of group hysteria?
Whatever the answer, it was called Mothman.
And now that Hollywood has produced a movie about "The Mothman Prophecies," mystery investigator John A. Keel expects skepticism about the bizarre phenomena he chronicled in his 1975 book.
That's OK with him -- Keel is a skeptic himself.
"I have tried to remain as objective as possible," he said. "I've gone through periods where I think, 'Now I know it all' ... but I don't know if anyone will ever fully understand it."
Although the sightings in Point Pleasant and the deaths that followed are more than 30 years old, the Mothman remains a potent piece of American folklore.
It started in 1966 when two young couples reported seeing a winged man with "glowing eyes" on a woodland road outside the town.
Sightings continued for nearly a year, making national news and prompting an investigation by local police. The sightings ended in 1967 when the town's Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River, killing 46 people.
Some believers said the Mothman had come to warn them, while others suggested the entity may have caused the tragedy.
Throughout the season of sightings, several dozen townsfolk said they witnessed the winged man firsthand while others only spotted glowing lights in the sky. Televisions and automobiles often malfunctioned during the sightings, farmers reported cattle mutilations and peculiar "men in black" supposedly menaced witnesses.
Although it now sounds like a warmed-over "X-Files" plot, the Mothman phenomenon became a national curiosity that helped shape the modern mythology of UFO sightings.
But Keel doesn't believe the Mothman was an alien, and the movie -- starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney -- doesn't subscribe to the "little green man" theory either.
"There's an ancient Egyptian proverb I made up that goes, 'The nature of the unknown is to remain unknown," said "Mothman" screenwriter Richard Hatem. "That's the underlying theme of both Keel's book and this movie."
The film fictionalizes some of Keel's experiences, with Gere's character changed to a Washington Post reporter plagued with visions of his dead wife. The movie also creates another alter-ego for Keel named Alexander Leek -- "Keel" spelled backward -- a curmudgeonly scientist with theories about the Mothman.
Gere's character asks: If the winged creature were an advanced being, why wasn't it better at conveying its message?
"You're more advanced than a cockroach," responds Leek, played by Alan Bates. "Did you ever try explaining yourself to one?"
"It's like he was quoting me," said Keel, who liked the film despite the license it took with his story.
"The bottom line is these creatures don't exist the same way we do," he said of Mothman.
Filmmakers are frequently drawn to dramatizing legends, from the countless Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster and alien documentaries of the 1970s to the fictionalized "Urban Legend" slasher films of the 1990s. Meanwhile, relatively obscure tales are revisited in "The Mothman Prophecies" and the French-language "Brotherhood of the Wolf," about a predatory beast that terrorized provincial France in the 18th century.
In 1999, "The Blair Witch Project" advertised itself as a true story of three filmmakers who vanished in the Maryland woods while making a documentary about a local legend. Although everything, including the legend, was bogus, the story sent beguiled sleuths on treks to search for the witch.
"I think there is a fascination with the unexplained because everything in our lives is so overexplained," said "Mothman" director Mark Pellington, whose previous film work includes the conspiracy-filled "Arlington Road" in 1999. "We're always looking for something to add a little magic to life."
The Mothman legend appealed to him because there was no easy explanation -- the mysteries of the universe remained mysteries in Point Pleasant.
"As long as we get an answer -- any answer -- we're satisfied, but when these stories are not tied up neatly they continually perplex us," he said.
The imagery inherent in most legends was scrutinized by psychiatrist Carl Jung, a contemporary of Sigmund Freud's, who theorized that myths are symbolic representations of the mind. For instance, sea monsters who dwell unseen beneath the ocean might represent elements of the subconscious.
Stories about flying men have always suggested ingenuity and power, from the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus to Christianity's angels and even comic-book heroes like Superman or the rumors of extraterrestrials.
Although the residents of Point Pleasant once were sure they saw something, could it be they merely projected these archetypes on a cosmic misunderstanding?
"It's as good an explanation as any," said Keel, who believes the Mothman sightings were an encounter with some intelligent energy -- akin to notions of God -- that humans can't begin to comprehend.

Leading InfiniCons third funding round was Bay Partners, which also led the company's $26 million B round in February last year (see InfiniCon Lands $26M). Existing investors Arch Venture Partners, W Capital Partners, and A.G. Edwards Capital also participated in the round, joined by new investors including ChevronTexaco Technology Ventures LLC.
"This round takes us through most of '05, and theres a very good chance that we will not need another one," says InfiniCon CEO Chuck Foley. The company has been working on securing its latest round since June, he adds.
While VC funding for storage startups has recently been picking up, $15 million is quite a feat for any company in todays drab economy (see The Billion-Dollar Slump and Report: Most Storage Startups Flop).
And for a startup with the word InfiniBand in its mission statement, it borders on a miracle. A couple years ago, the high-speed, low-latency technology was heralded as the next big thing, but today InfiniBand has clearly lost its luster (see our report on Whither InfiniBand?).

It's not the air temperature but the soil temperature that is critical in seed germination. Seeds begin growing when the soil reaches the optimal temperature for germination.
Certain vegetable seeds can be planted out in the early spring but they still need warm soil for good germination. You can help "Mother Nature" and speed up soil warming by covering your vegetable garden soil with black plastic for two weeks prior to planting. Depending on where you live, you can start this as early as March 15th. The black plastic will warm the soil much faster, allowing you to plant certain crops earlier and still have good germination.

Ramon Alejandro's "Baralanube," at José Alonso Fine Arts, makes us see how tradition still can find its way into a novel production. "Baralanube" includes most of Alejandro's original drawings; collaborations with contemporary exile Cuban writers such as Nestor Diaz de Villegas, Antonio José Ponte, Felix Lizarraga; and even that infamous historic figure in Cuban history, Karl Marx.
Alejandro's work appears in his self-funded publications, Éditions Deleatur. Illustration gives Alejandro the opportunity to work with writers. "This job is a way of getting out of myself," he commented. This double duty makes sense, since both illustration and the art of printing have a common history, their roots stemming from the fifteenth-century printers who were content to use the printed image as a means to gain wider mass accessibility. "Baralanube" is a compendium of Alejandro's highly personal pictorial vocabulary. We see the artist's etchinglike designs, shaded with dotted and delicately linear grooves. His style is reminiscent of the Renaissance bestiary. The figures are classically rendered with a curvaceous, sensual pulse. The fancies come in pairs: soft and hard, human and beast, shell and membrane, life and death. Best is the yes and no coupling, which becomes a way for Alejandro to express the Caribbean's rich mythology. "Yes and no" is the contradiction inherent in a colonial conquest based on deceit, the slave trade, assimilation, and mixed identity.
In the drawings for Marx's treatise, The Eulogy of Crime, we discover the nuances between opposites. "Yes" and "no" appear inserted between two crossed pairs of hands showing off a middle finger. Another illustration from the same text aptly captures Marx's wit and vitriol: From the horn overflowing with cornucopia's riches hangs a fishhook. For Marx unbounded wealth was just another trap of capitalism. Also from Marx's writing comes Alejandro's gun and cock, a dramatic phallic image pointing out the pervasive force of male aggression throughout history.
Jos Alonso Fine Arts, 3072 SW 38th Ave
Written by Ramon Alejandro. Through January 2, 2001. 305-448-0007.
The images are strong. For Diaz de Villegas's book of poetry, The Strangler from Flagler Street, Alejandro produces a canine beast whose back is a female torso; the monster's two front legs also are human. In another book by Diaz de Villegas, Anarchy in Disneyland, Alejandro depicts a flying she-he devil with a petard in its hand, sticking out its tongue, breasts, and penis in defiance.
These illustrations are concise in comparison with Alejandro's big fruit drawings, such as Palmarito or El Rompemontes. In these Alejandro creates a Baroque, tropical Arcadia, a world that reminds us of the fantastical forms of the early German and Flemish artists. Alejandro's vision of so much swollen pulp and turgid fruit skin seems ready to spoil under the tropical sun. As a friend remarked, it wasn't hard to imagine what this voluptuous profusion of sultry edibles would smell like.
Still a teenager when he left Cuba in the early Seventies, Alejandro aligned himself with the Parisian avant-garde at a time when the reigning philosophy was Structuralism. He made friends with a circle of Cuban émigrés in Paris, among them the writer and critic Severo Sarduy. Alejandro slowly moved from an iconography of machinelike constructions suspended in space to autobiographical landscapes filled with more human forms surrounded by tropical vegetation and fruits. This conceptual shift cost him dearly. While his early works had been lauded among Structuralist circles, his later output found a stubborn resistance to his stylistic change. Alejandro began his professional style with a clean slate, but gradually his island memories became too strong to be ignored. The artist accepted -- perhaps unconsciously at first -- his "tropical shift." Yet I see both Alejandro's fruits and machines as a fundamental rejection of the void, the fear of losing one's cultural identity in a faraway land.

In Coral Gables, Meza Fine Art gallerycafé opened "La Patria del Sur" ("The Fatherland of the South") by Argentine artist Miguel Angel Giovanetti, a veteran artist with a history of exhibitions in the most prestigious galleries of Buenos Aires. "La Patria del Sur" explores Argentina's civil and political identity through the manipulation of military symbols and their impact on civil society. "La Patria del Sur" is Giovanetti's critique of the omnipresent influence of the military in Argentina's history. The artist carefully plays historically charged militarist symbols, such as the decorated uniform and the helmet, against civilian symbols such as regional shields, republican declarations, official stamps. Giovanetti then questions the fairness of the nation's articulated history by exposing the images of the exterminated aboriginal populations of South America.
These works are done on a type of vellum paper, which Giovanetti manipulates on both sides. On the front he draws jingoist emblems; on the reverse side he applies primary colors straight from the tube. The effect evokes a Rio Plata-colored mood, though it's one overwhelmed by the militarist commentary.
Against this setting we better understand pieces such as Escudo y Morrión, (Shield and Helmet), which ostentatiously unveils both symbols over a red and Argentine-flag-blue background. The piece aptly expresses the cost of conquest in the resulting human suffering and exploitation. In Gloria a ... (Glory to ...) wealth and power go hand in hand: Images of historic leaders are subverted by a collage of currency bills against the paper's back surface. Finally, in Sólo un Poco de Luz, (Just a Bit of Light), a pompously decorated general shares the stage with an aboriginal statuette. Giovanetti's musings contain a powerful dose of irony. His critique of Argentine militarist culture touches a deeper nerve in South American, and by extension, Caribbean cultural manifestations.
The idea of nationality is rooted in the past, and symbols become an unavoidable part of our nations' history. In the case of South America, they reflect the ideals of militarism. Eventually these symbols come to define, legitimatize, and perpetuate the dictatorship as status quo, part and parcel of the standard political state of affairs in Latin America. In this show Giovanetti's political and civil critique seems particularly timely.

Sometimes football mirrors real life, such as this afternoon when Manchester City host Chelsea at the Etihad.
When corporations don't want to commit to hiring someone on a permanent basis – with all the obligations that entails, from entitlements to redundancy pay to sick leave – they offer a short-term contract. They may suggest that it could turn into a proper job one day, but really it's no more than your high street chains bringing in a few extra hands to help out in December ahead of Christmas.
Hola, Rafa Benitez.
Loading article content
Or a company may be unsure about an employee. They don't necessarily want to sack him or make him redundant because that would involve a pay-off. Plus, they're not sure there's somebody better on the horizon: the guy they really wanted went to work for a rival German corporation. So they ask him to reapply for his job. Just so, you know, they can evaluate the situation better. Figure out what he actually does. And keep an eye out for better candidates.
Ciao, Roberto Mancini.
Sir Alex Ferguson is going nowhere until he decides to exit stage left. Andre Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers are pretty solid in their current gigs and they fit the omnipresent profile that clubs crave: young, innovative bosses. Arsene Wenger has reiterated that he won't resign and, since Arsenal will tell everyone who will listen he won't be sacked, you have to assume he'll stay at the Emirates. Which means that, among the bigger Premier League clubs, Benitez and Mancini are the two most likely to be replaced. In fact, the rest of the campaign feels much like a three-month audition.
While the ways of Roman Abramovich are infinite and mysterious – rather like that other big man upstairs – it's going to take a major miracle for Benitez to hang on to his job. The man he replaced, Roberto Di Matteo, won 24 points from 12 Premier League games, while Benitez has managed 25 but from 14, and that was with the benefit of Demba Ba, who arrived in January. True, he could yet win the FA Cup and the Europa League, but his performances in cup competitions has been, frankly, horrid.
Chelsea went out of the League Cup after contriving to lose at home to Swansea. They were held by Brentford away and for nearly an hour at home in the FA Cup. And they were outplayed by Sparta Prague in Europe, only advancing because of Eden Hazard's injury-time heroics. Meanwhile, Fernando Torres has shown no signs of improvement (and "fixing" the £50 million man was supposed to be Benitez's unique selling point), the play is no more inspired than before and the fans still hate him.
Benitez is auditioning for a job, though probably not the Chelsea one. Finish the season on a high (win today and they move within a point of City), provide some stability, show some backbone when it comes to John Terry and, hey, someone will take a punt on him at some point.
Mancini, of course, doesn't like suggestions his job might be in jeopardy. "I don't understand it," he told The Guardian on Friday. "Seriously, for what reason? Since May 2011 we have won three trophies, Manchester United two, Chelsea two, Liverpool one. Nobody has won more than us. OK, we made some mistakes, but we have still done a good job surely if, in three years, we finished second, first, second. I have done a good job here."
Fair enough. But understand this. Given Chelsea's dysfunction, Arsenal's tight-fistedness (and Wenger's rigidity) and the long-term building sites that Tottenham and Liverpool have become, finishing second is a bit like being the second-most talented artist in Wham!. And when, on top of this, you get bounced out of the Champions League in the group stage two years running, you won't have much sympathy.
Mancini admits to some mistakes, but also shifts a fair chunk of the blame on to Brian Marwood, the man previously charged with doing the club's buying and selling. He's right, but that doesn't change the fact that – bottom line – City haven't played well. And, while it's true, as he points out, that if they, rather than United, had bought Robin van Persie, they'd be top, they'd presumably also be top if they had bought Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Godzilla and Jesus Christ. But then, so would anyone.
To hang on to his job, two things need to happen. Firstly, nobody whom the owners consider "clearly better" must come along. It's actually a small list, it does not include Jose Mourinho, but it may include the odd left-field candidate. Secondly, and more importantly because it's the bit he can actually control, City need to play well and look impressive. And that's something they've only done in spurts this season.
Barcelona's 2-0 setback away to Milan came as a shock, not least to yours truly, as readers of last week's column will know. It took something of a perfect storm, but, yes, it actually happened. Maybe the warning signs were there, they just went unheeded. Barca have now gone 10 consecutive games without keeping a clean sheet and, once again, we saw that Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique aren't always comfortable with balls hit over the top, especially when they get sucked high up the pitch.
The fact Tito Vilanova wasn't at the game, but watching from a hospital bed in New York City and relaying his instructions from afar probably didn't help either. Barcelona made virtually zero adjustments to Milan's style until deep into the second half. They gave Massimiliano Allegri nothing to think about, apart from their usual, base formation. Even a middling coach would have realised and made some tweaks when it became apparent they simply weren't shooting on goal.
Most of all, we realised, for the umpteenth time, that Messi can paper over many a crack and that, when he's having an off-day – and this was arguably his worst performance in a long time – someone else needs to step up.
But credit Allegri too. It's one thing to design a game plan – deny the space behind, tighten the midfield ("create density" is what he likes to call it) and counter with pace – it's another to get his ragtag troops to buy into it. That takes more than a clever tactician.

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 4.5Album is streaming here http://stonesour.com/albumstream
Album Rating: 4.5Excellent review, man! Album truly rocks.
Album Rating: 5.0Another classic release by this fantastic band.
I find this band pretty average at best.
Will only check this out if my dad randomly buys it like he did with Part 1.
Album Rating: 3.5This is not that high.
Maybe a 3.5 to a low 4, but not a classic.
it's really good though
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offanother pleasant surprise this year, seriously didn't expect it to sound this awesome (even though part 1 was pretty great in its own right)
Album Rating: 3.5good to see they're not shit again, love the s/t
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI thought after audio secrecy these guys were finished (the record was one of the corniest releases of 2010), but they sprung back brilliantly
Album Rating: 3.5i thought it was a bit better than come whatever may but still not great
will give parts 1 & 2 of this a go soon
Album Rating: 3.5That avg is gonna go down quick.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offknowing how sputnik is and since the first part is at 3.7, I'm predicting a 3.8-3.9 tops
but in other news, my god, Red City rules
Album Rating: 3.5this is better at times but about the same so 3.7-3,8 yeah
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffWell, it's better than Part 1, but it's not a 4.5, for sure. The hype train is at full speed, apparently.
"Red City", "Sadist" and "House Of Gold And Bones" are my favorites from this.
Album Rating: 3.5Just gave this and part I a go, damn it's real good. I heard a few songs from Audio Secrecy and wasn't impressed, but this is much better than anything I've heard so far this year. The Conflagration is my favorite song next to Do Me a Favor. Awesome album and deserves the rating it has right now. Also great review! I find it interesting that the double albums are working lately.
Album Rating: 4.5thnks man
definitely on par with their debut
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffA 2 Gyro? I think not.
Good review, pos'd. Only listened through once, but it was pretty sick 1st time around. Wish there was one extra hard track and ballad though.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffDefinitely dope.
Album Rating: 3.5Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
Really boring.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
From the very first episode I've liked Fringe. It occupies a certain
realm of science fiction in today's world of entertainment that is
greatly lacking. However, as with most TV series nowadays, Fringe has
strayed from its creative episodes in the beginning to near rip-offs of
other shows. Leaving things unexplained for some distant future episode
and heavily relying on grotesque images was starting to become all too
common. Luckily, when the second season arrived you could tell the
producers decided to get back to the basics and start answering some of
the many questions it posed in the first season.
White Tulip is a story that revolves around the concept of time travel along with the conflicts and confusion it would create. Time travel is certainly not new by television or movie standards, but the way the concept has been made to seamlessly intertwine with Walter's personal dilemma that has been causing great grief over the past episodes is a testament to John Noble's and the producer's ability to still make a good episode. Given Noble's remarkable performances and increasing camera time, I'm starting to wonder who exactly is the main character. The time traveler was wonderfully cast as well.
When the time traveler was shown to be modifying his time device (which you'll find out later what this exactly is) while listening to Are "Friends" Electric?, I felt the very peculiar feelings of concurrent revulsion and nostalgia, almost as if it was a single feeling. The revulsion was understandable, but the nostalgia very hard to place. Perhaps the song or the time travelers physically painful representation of nostalgia. Whatever the reason, the ability of the episode to provoke the strange feeling made me realize right there and then that this may very well be one of the best episodes yet, if not the best so far.
And then there was the tulip! Kudos to the writers for fitting it in the story so wonderfully. Something so simple became one of the most memorable moments of the series.
Don't miss this episode if you've ever enjoyed another!
It is not very often you will find a heart moving story in a sci-fi
While Fringe has had some of them at times, this episode by far, is the most remarkable and moving one.
While we witness Walter finds someone who can truly understands him ( mind you it is not very often - he can understand the grief he caused however not many examples that he was by others.) we also see a time travel story - not a unique idea but thinking how many of us wanted to travel through time to be with the ones we loved once, it fits all beautifully.
Every one of us has our regrets, been late to say something to someone we loved. Some of us wished to be long gone with the ones we love and miss.
Easier to say than it is done. We found ourselves in these pieces of art, TV series, songs, novels. We want to be understood and we want forgiveness.
That's why we loved this episode so much more than the others perhaps. Remarkable acting reflects whatever we want to have.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is my favorite episode in the series. John Noble as Walter Bishop
is a tough act to follow, but Peter Weller as Alistair Peck more than
holds his own here. I have never seen him in better form. He succeeds
in imbuing what could have a stock villain character with great
When they meet, it is the first time that we see Walter speak with someone who can truly talk to him on his own level. Both men are brilliant scientists. Both are driven by love and guilt. Their meditations on God, science, and right and wrong is riveting. And Peck's final, anonymous act of compassion is truly touching.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Very well-written and tight episode. One of the best sci-fi episodes
you'll ever see on mainstream TV. If this were a short story, it would
be an award contender, IMO. One of the best time travel stories I've
ever seen portrayed in a TV series.
Peter Weller guest stars in an amazing performance. One of the most interesting antagonists you'll ever enjoy. It's one of those cases where the writers just pulled everything together and just didn't mess anything up.
I don't want to spoil anything so I won't elaborate further, except to say that it's worth seeing the series up to this point just to gain the context to appreciate this episode.
Over the years this reviewer has developed a penchant for highlighting
noteworthy episodes of individual series.
Usually when so doing I will arrive at the designated IMDb page (for the episode) only to find it empty, a tabula rasa.
While re-watching this amazing series sequentially, I was gob-smacked at how perfect the script for this episode was.
Sheer genius from start to finish. Manages to solve "conundrum" of the two arcs (the long and the short) by doing something I have never seen before -- making the short arc "about" the long arc (or perhaps vice versa).
That alone would be a feat. But this episode, one of the greatest in the history of TV, goes further. Handles time travel and time paradoxes better than any show prior, including VOYAGEUR which is generally thought to have aced that theme.
On a humanistic level, the complex angst of John Noble's character and the mechanism by which he solves it are extraordinary. In effect, if you watch closely, this story has not only one climactic moment which makes the viewer shudder but a second anti-climax at the end which makes you want to cry.
Hint to newbies; pay special attention to the title of the episode. These writers do nothing by accident.
We like to talk about some of the "perfect" scripts from the original Twilight Zone series, scripts that have held up over decades.
This is one for the record books.
A man appears in a commuter train wagon and all passengers and
batteries die. The Fringe Division investigate and soon they find that
the MIT astrophysicist Alistair Peck (Peter Weller) is the responsible.
However he can jump in time absorbing energy around the destination,
change the events and resetting time, giving the sensation of dejavu to
Olivia. They discover that Alistair is trying to jump in time to save
his beloved fiancée from a car accident. Meanwhile Dr. Bishop write a
letter to Peter telling the truth to him. Then he meets Alistair at the
MIT and he tries to convince the astrophysicist to give up his intent.
He also discloses what has happened to Peter and corrects his formula
that has a mistake. What will Alistair do?
"White Tulip" is another great episode of "Fringe". The intriguing story is again well resolved and Walter finds the best solution about Peter. It is great to see Peter "RoboCop" Weller again with an excellent participation. My vote is eight.
Title (Brail): "White Tulip"
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This episode sets up the whole of Season 4 - Long before there was a
Season 4. That just shows how well thought out the story of Fringe has
been: It was mapped out to the last detail from before the Pilot Ep.
Each Season of Fringe was a step deeper into madness, and this is a dire preview of things to come.
A homeless teenager is panhandling outside of a Train station. He passes RoboCop's Peter Weller as he gets on a train car: The lights are all out, and everyone in the car is dead! He's trapped with them.
Walter in the meantime, is poring over a painful letter to Peter, he still does not know how to tell Peter he had been brought over from the other side. He is distracted by a phone call from Peter: Fringe Division is needed on a case involving Trains, and Peter knows how much Walter loves Trains.
When they get there, it is as if every person in the car, and every electronic gadget in the car, and every light and other electronic device has been drained of every micro-watt of electrical energy.
As the process continues, they identify Dr Alistair Peck (Weller) as leaving the car right after it had happened. They confront Peck, and he insists that the people are not really dead, or they will not be very soon. And he performs a magic trick where his head is tilting all over, and suddenly he's back in the train with the same people who are freshly-dead.
This process repeats itself at least two more times: Peck is a theoretical scientist who has figured out how to travel back in Time. But the price he has to pay is that all electrical energy is drained from everything at his arrival point: this includes people. Peck wants to achieve "The Arlette Principle" - He wants to return to the day his fiancé was killed in an accident, to right a wrong he caused: The same way Walter went to get Peter. This gives Peck and Walter a lot in common.
In each iteration of events, Fringe meets with Carol Bryce (Laara Sadiq from the X-Files episode "Leonard Betts") and she gives Walter a book of Peck's work.
Walter, who is familiar with Peck's work, knows why Peck cannot travel any further back than the Train Station: He needs to take into account an equation which involves numbers one magnitude greater than Peck was accounting for.
There is a memorable Meeting between Walter and Peck, Walter shuts off the FBI audio monitor and tells Peck two things: 1) He had crossed into another universe and had taken his Son's Doppleganger, and 2) He has been praying for Forgiveness to God, and is asking for one sign: A White Tulip. Walter then tells Peck how to get to the time he wants to get to.
Peck escapes once again, not going back to the Train Station but somewhere else, the whole process repeats, but with different circumstances, but Peck is still found and the FBI once again has him trapped. But now, Peck can go all the way back to achieve "The Arlette Principle" and he succeeds: Killing only a bunch of grass and possibly himself who was in the grassy area at that exact time (this is not shown, but it is inferred by the conversation between himself and Walter - He was there in that Grassy area at that time).
He is shown getting into the car with Arlette and an oncoming truck kills them both.
One Year after the crash, Carol Bryce mails a letter Peck left for Walter.
Walter is again back in his study, writing the letter and this time finishing it. He throws the letter away - And right then, he gets his mail, included is a letter from Peck, which is a picture of a White Tulip.
I mapped out an entire spoiler here, as a deconstruction: This was one of the best Television Episodes ever written, deserving of a Hugo Award for Dramatic Presentation. God Love Walter Bishop!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Having just seen the final episode of this wonderful 5 year science
fiction series I am irresistibly reminded of its arguably best episode
(White Tulip).
Suffice to say, the Fringe creators beautifully pay homage to it in the final episode.
My advice to anyone interested in this series is to watch a few early episodes to get a sense of the characters and to acclimate to the Fringe alternate reality. Although interesting and well done these early "monster of the week" episodes give way to even more sophisticated and intriguing stories in subsequent seasons.
Season Two's "White Tulip" is an example of the very best of the series.
My strong recommendation: Don't sample this series without watching this episode. You will not be sorry.
I see a lot of TV shows, practically everyone with an +8.0 rating in IMDb, so, took a time in my agenda to star viewing this show and I'm not disappointed, specially after this magnificent episode. Very touching, truly special this chapter and the performances and the development of all the characters of this show is getting better with each chapter. It's not easy to find a good sci-fi show with this kind of "feelings", and Fringe is capable to do that. I start to see this show because J.J Abrams was one of the producers and I need to hear the amazing compositions by Michael Giaccino (this duo on Lost was superb). I'm not usually do reviews on chapters, but this one deserve it. Excellent writing. Superb.
This episode is the most powerful episode of any show I have ever watched, because its approach to reality relates to my experience. I got a call from my wife crying hysterically that she hit one of the ki... - and the call was cut off. I said a desperate prayer asking to change reality. We all know that does not happen. We can't pray away even one of the terrible things that happen in this world. If we could, the Holocaust would have never happened. So we can't expect reality to change, but we plead anyway. If there is one saving grace it is that this Universe was designed to be truly random. That is why an electron can suddenly appear on the other side of an impassable barrier. Or why the observed result of the quantum eraser experiment has been proved to go back in time and change the cause. I hope that moment never comes for anyone reading this, but if it does, say your prayer. Because the design of our universe can handle your request - you just need to be lucky enough for divine grace to be visited upon you in your moment of need.

Hold RESET when you are powering it on and priiloader should come up and shut off that black screen option!
Ok... so im new to all this - i got a wii for £40 and the Indiana game for £15.
Took them home, Softmodded everything fine. I have mario galaxy so i downloaded and ISO seen as its a game i own. - Then i went into Priiloader (not sure on spelling' and then stupidly enabled 'auto press A at Health screen' AND 'black screen at start up' - Not even knowing what they do.
And i power on my wii now, and there is just a black screen - nothing will show, the wiimote wont connect. The wii sounds like its booting (drive sounds)
Theres definatly a black screen signal because my wii is on a projector, when the projector is powered on it says 'power off in 5 mins' - as soon as i power on my wii, this projector message dissapears - meaning its definatly recieving a 'black' signal.
I know im stupid, - but is it bricked - i can just buy a used wii for £55 its not much if it is... - My wii is a 1st gen RVL001 (got it first day it came out...) - if thats any help - and i followed this guide : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMbqV2vUOGE

Hold RESET when you are powering it on and priiloader should come up and shut off that black screen option!
What's that option supposed to be used for guys?
Sent from my GT-I5700 using Tapatalk
I did never figure that out!
did you get it working!
even when holding reset it does nothing for me and i did the same thing by accident T.T
Leave it off 5 mins - then remove the SD Card and Hold the reset button then press power while holding reset -
If not press power then a split second after hit and hold reset for about 10 seconds - If it doesent boot Priiloader - Insert the SD card and try it again - I dont know how you installed - i read you can flash to wii NAND or SD so removing SD may stop it trying to load the option screen
Then black screen feature is a stupid option anyway - whats the point lol?
i tried just plain holding reset but nothing would happen so im gonna try the way with pulling the ac out and all that

Irma River Flooding Could Close I-75 in N Fla
GAINESVILLE (970 WFLA) -- A river pushed higher by Hurricane Irma's rains could spill over Interstate 75, closing the busy highway in North Florida and cutting off road access between Tampa and Atlanta, for evacuees returning home and trucks bringing supplies.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the Santa Fe River, at the northern border of Alachua County, has risen 15 feet in 36 hours.
Governor Rick Scott is monitoring the situation. He says they should know sometime Thursday if the crest will force authorities to close the road.
"If (we do), it's going to be a pretty big detour", Scott says.
From Tampa, drivers would get off at Ocala, cut over to U.S. 19, and then take that back to Interstate 10 and 75. Or they might take US 301 east to Jacksonville and cut back.
Drivers going all the way to Georgia could stay on 19, which is a divided highway all the way to Albany, Georgia, then take the Florida-Georgia Parkway east to I-75.
Any alternate route would likely add several hours to travel in and out of the Tampa Bay area.
Scott says he's warned utility companies to warn them to get south of the Santa Fe as quickly as possible. He says he hopes any closure won't significantly impact recovery efforts.
