DALLAS -- Five days before Christmas, Kobe Bryant had 62 points in three quarters for the Dallas Mavericks.
SPECIAL MIDWEEK EDITION Dozen matter: Mavs rising
After Tuesday's night's rematch, Bryant had only advice for the Mavs.
"Screw 'em," Kobe said.
"If I'm Dirk or Avery," he continued, "I don't even listen to that stuff."
That stuff is the annual skepticism, derision and punking that specifically greeted these Mavs, this term, as soon as Bryant uncorked those 62 points on Dec. 20.
Yet when he isn't going for 62 or 81 or whatever his offensive ceiling is, Bryant is a bit of an expert at tuning out negativity. So maybe that's why Kobe -- even though dissing Dallas is a virtual Laker tradition with Phil Jackson in charge -- felt compelled to offer a rare bit of encouragement to his conquerors after a gamelong Mavericks swarm forced the ball out of his hands, gradually sapped the energy from his legs and played an undeniable role in a 5-for-22 shooting struggle that left No. 8 with just 24 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 102-87 defeat.
It turned out to be a pretty rich Tuesday for Mark Cuban and his Mavericks. They got off the floor with Bryant scoring four points fewer than Brian Cook, after first finding out during the halftime break that Detroit had dropped even closer to the NBA surface with its third loss in five games -- in Atlanta! -- to make that Power Rankings guy look pretty foolish.
Chances are there won't be a national rush of praise for the Mavericks even after they reasonably smothered Bryant and stretched the longest win streak in the league to 12, especially since the hosts blew an early 20-point lead and actually had to win the game twice. Yet Bryant's counsel is to ignore the reaction regardless. Negative or even positive.
"Who cares?" Kobe said. "This team, you can tell, makes a much more concerted effort to play defense, and I think that starts with [coach] Avery Johnson. It's clear they have a strategy that everybody's in tune with. That's the big difference from the [Dallas] teams in the past. Until the playoffs, they shouldn't be wasting time even thinking about [national perception]."
Truth is, they aren't. Even as the Mavericks rack up numbers this franchise has never seen -- holding all 12 foes during this unbeaten run under 100 points to establish a club record -- they're obsessed down here with doing these things in the playoffs for once. They don't want bouquets in February. Not even on Valentine's Day and not even from Bryant.
The Mavericks were obviously motivated here to respond to their December humiliation, but they won't dwell on it because Johnson won't let them. After every big win, he's the first to remind them that they've achieved nothing. Johnson also knows that, for all his commitment to defensive improvement on the practice court and in the film room, Dallas has actually been able to establish its own 65-win pace because of its offense.
Better shot selection selection, crisper ball movement and a higher shooting percentage have reduced the number of possessions opponents get. The Mavs, under Don Nelson, were instructed to take the first open shot they could find, leaving their defense on the field far too often (for those of you who like you American football analogies). These Mavs still score 100, but without opening themselves up for so much punishment. It also doesn't hurt that their best athletes (Josh Howard, Devin Harris and Marquis Daniels) have seized bigger roles to supplement some serious bench firepower (Jerry Stackhouse and Keith Van Horn) and the surprise newcomers (DeSagana Diop and Adrian Griffin) who provide dirty work and defensive quality.
These Mavericks also have a coach who mentions "hard fouls" so often in his media sessions that you'd think it was a separate category in the box score. You still don't know some nights if Johnson's players are capable of doling them out -- like, say, five nights before Christmas -- but perhaps Bryant isn't only one in this league in the midst of a transformation.
Kobe's popularity has rebounded dramatically in the weeks since Sixty-Two and especially Eighty-One, to the point that even he admitted surprise during his Dallas stop with how high his All-Star vote totals were. But maybe it's time to look at the other side. The Mavericks, after all, haven't exactly folded since their Dec. 20 surrender.
"You can't change your reputation in the regular season," said Dirk Nowitzki, unmoved by Dallas' own gaudy numbers, as in 38-10.
"It just doesn't happen. We could win the next 40 games or whatever's left [in the regular season] and our reputation probably still wouldn't change. We know we have to do this in the playoffs."

Long before hitting the game-winning shot, Joe Johnson (29 points) operates on Carlos Arroyo in the third quarter. The lowly Hawks (15-32) beat the team with the best record, Detroit, 99-98.
Slams And Dunks
1. The Clippers are getting plenty of low-post production from Elton Brand and Chris Kaman and thus have targeted Minnesota's Eddie Griffin -- a big man who prefers the perimeter -- as an ideal catch before the Feb. 23 trading deadline. L.A. is offering Chris Wilcox, according to NBA front-office sources, but the Wolves have resisted, even though Griffin is in and out of coach Dwane Casey's rotation.
2. It's probably a bit early for such proclamations, given that only one team (Denver) in the whole league has played its 50th game . . . but why wait?
I hereby declare that the top eight teams in the East will not change between now and the end of the season. The seeding order is far from set, of course, but the eight teams in the playoffs as of today will be the eight we see in late April.
Seriously. Chicago and Orlando could always make a trade to reverse their current slides and get them back in contention, and injuries can change the landscape instantly, but who else outside of the current top eight appears remotely capable of making a push?
The way it looks now, it'll take some serious sliding from Washington, Philadelphia, Indiana or Milwaukee to change the East's playoff field.
3. You might have heard that the 2007 All-Star Game will be held in Las Vegas . . . with New Orleans given first option to host the 2008 edition even if the Hornets have not yet returned to Louisiana.
The significance? If it wasn't already clear, a city clearly doesn't have to have an NBA team to win the right to be chosen as the league's All-Star city.
That's not all. It's becoming increasingly apparent that we're not far away from our first All-Star Weekend in an overseas location like, say, Paris.
Commissioner David Stern has acknowledged that the complexities involved in putting 2-4 teams in Europe full-time, as he has longed hoped, have forced the league to "temper our aspirations" when it comes to full-fledged European expansion. Yet that hasn't stopped the NBA from continually raising its Old World profile, as seen by the commitment to send teams to Italy, Spain, France and Russia for training camps in October and the growing possibility of a European division of the D-League.
When the commitment to Vegas was made for '07, Stern acknowledged that "we'll listen to everyone now." No promises have been made, true, but an All-Star Game in a city of worldwide prestige like Paris or Frankfurt looks inevitable from here.
Rank Comments
Readers respond to the latest edition of the ESPN.com NBA Power Rankings:
Mark F. (Detroit): As a regular reader of your Power Rankings, I've been pleased with your respect for Motown right from the start this season. You picked the Pistons as an elite team early on when few in your profession did, but I have to tell you -- this week you blew it. The Pistons had a bad week in losing two games to teams barely over .500 and looked shabby in a seven-point win over the Sixers without AI. This was their worst week of the season and they clearly deserved a demotion . . . probably to third behind Dallas and San Antonio.
Jeff (Burbank): Could you PLEASE downgrade Detroit? They need the underdog thing to keep them motivated. They are starting to lose a bit of energy and the bumps and bruises are starting to affect their play. Maybe a little media criticism and second-guessing would get that machine rolling again.
Brandon (College Station): Detroit is the best team from a terrible conference. This doesn't make them a great team. While everyone else is ready to throw a parade for them because they're on a 70-win pace, 65 wins for any Western Conference team would be a far better accomplishment. Of the bottom eight teams in your rankings, six are from the East.
Paul (Dallas): I know you are the all-powerful overlord of the Power rankings, but it is just disgusting that the Mavericks are not No. 1 this week. Are these the "Pistons have to lose all of their games in a week to not be No. 1 rankings?" I am very, very disappointed. I understand that Detroit has something special going, but it ain't that special yet. And they looked pretty ordinary this week. Unlike the Mavs.
Liam (San Antonio): I still think the Spurs should be No. 2 behind Detroit and ahead of Dallas, because everyone knows they'll go farther than the Mavs. But you're the expert and what you say goes.
(Ed's note: Lots of reaction, obviously, to my wrestling with whether to keep Detroit at No. 1 for a 13th consecutive week . . . but at least we can all agree on Liam's last point.)

Reserve Judgments
Readers respond to Marc Stein's All-Star reserve selections:
Josh August (Williamstown): Leaving Paul Pierce off your All-Star team is a joke. He's in the top 10 in scoring, shooting 47 percent from the field and averages 7.3 boards and 4.5 assists a game playing small forward. He is having the best season of his career. It's not his fault that three of the five best players on his team should be in college.
Jason (Brooklyn): Your blind spot for lefty gunners always hurts your All-Star and All-NBA ballots. Michael Redd is a great shooter. Great. He gets it off quickly, hits it a lot and plays on a winning team. He doesn't do anything else. His bigs do all the board work. His point guards get the ball to him. He's not running guys out of the gym or killing them at the buzzer like Reggie. Pierce on the other hand is a one-man gang on a really bad gang. Arenas has the same unlimited range and he can create his owns. Prince and Rasheed are both amazing defenders who can score from anywhere at any time. I completely agree with every other pick you made in both conferences, but man, that lefty bias leaves you looking rather . . . sinister.
Mike (DC): What about getting 'Melo in there at guard for the West? He's a three, which is close enough to the two spot, so I think he should get that last guard spot over Paul. I realize Gilbert Arenas is a tough call, but he's got to make it, too. He's that whole team. Aside from Gil, that Wiz roster is weak. If you took the top player off every single team and then had the teams play their schedules, the Wiz would finish dead last. Look it up. Every other team has better players 2-10.
Don (Hartford): Chris Paul being left off of the All-Star roster can't be an injustice. Sure, he's deserving, but is he more deserving than say, Carmelo Anthony, who led the Nuggets to the playoffs as a rookie? Or LeBron James, who was arguably the best rookie in a decade? Sure he's a great point guard, but he's young and should have to wait his turn just as other great young players have had to. He's not exempt. Choose a star veteran instead who has consistently performed at a high level.
Jason (Dallas): I think the All-Star game is the ONE time that individual talent should supersede team performance. The Pistons are a super team, but the sum outweighs the individual parts. Rip Hamilton is solid, but not an All-Star. I would replace him with Pierce, Vince Carter or Arenas -- all are simply better players. If you want to reward the Pistons, I would select Rasheed ahead of Hamilton anyway. I think Wallace is more crucial to Detroit's success.
Chat Excerpt
Joseph (Colorado Springs, CO): Hey Marc! You mentioned in your Power Rankings that Steve Francis playing in Denver doesn't appeal to you. Why is that? Wouldn't Stevie Franchise be a good fit at shooting guard? That's a big position of need for the Nuggets.
Marc Stein: There are already rumblings in Denver that the PGs they have are shooting too much. So I can't see how a guy like Francis, who HAS to have the ball in his hands, would be a good match with 'Melo. I can't imagine a much more unappealing match, actually. But Furious George loves talent. I'm told he's the one pushing for this and I know he thinks he can make anything work if you give him the talent.
On this one especially, I respectfully disagree with my former ESPN colleague. I'd say Denver is better off if this possibility stays dead, as it looks for the moment . . . although I certainly would not be surprised to see Nene moved before the Feb. 23 trading deadline because the Nuggets know the big Brazilian is going to get multiple offers (as a restricted free agent) that will be expensive to match. If they don't think they can afford to keep him, they'll undoubtedly try to get something for now.

More about this item
This is a stone with Malachite and Lapis Lazuli combined to create this stunning gemstone. This stone is a strikingly beautiful shade of vivid blue Lapis with bright green Malachite. The stone has been polished for a high sheen and framed by a special design sterling bezel. The bezel is a step-design pattern with a slight serration to its edge. The bezel was cut, edges filed, and the ends soldered together for a perfect fit around the stone. The bezel was polished to a polished finish. The back of the pendant is open for full viewing of this lovely stone. The inside of the bezel is secured with a strong two-part epoxy glue to hold the stone in place. A sterling jump ring is soldered to the top of this bezel for accommodating a sterling textured bail. To complement the this beautiful stone, a sterling 4mm round bead with dots of Swarovski crystals is added to the top of the stone and wire wrapped with sterling wire. This really adds elegance and charm to this colorful stone. A pretty 18 inch snake chain 2mm thick is used to suspend this gorgeous pendant. Both malachite and lapis lazuli have beautiful colors and when they form together the results can be stunning. Many crystals form alongside others but one of the most attractive crystal combinations are lapis lazuli and malachite. Lapis lazuli is a deep vivid blue stone while malachite is a lovely vibrant green. Both lapis lazuli and malachite have been prized for thousands of years and used as important decorative stones in carvings and jewelry. Malachite is associated with goddesses, healing and transformation, while lapis lazuli is believed to bring wisdom and strength. * Malachite in Lapis Lazuli gemstone pendant. * Length of pendant from top of bail to bottom of pendant, is 1 inch (44mm). * Width of pendant almost 1 inch (23mm). * Sterling silver step-design bezel. * Sterling wire wrapping with 4mm sterling round Swarovski crystal bead. * Sterling fancy corrugated bail. * 18 inch sterling snake chain.

For a team that was supposed to have such a powerful offense the Los Angeles Angels sure don't do much offending. Well you know what I mean. They have lost seven of the last ten games and rarely score more than a few runs at most. Whatever the contribution from night to night has been there is largely something missing from this team. I can't remember any substantial stretch all season when one player has really been hot for a few games, much less a lot of games.
The Baltimore Orioles have Chris Davis and the Atlanta Braves had Justin Upton. For the Arizona Diamondbacks it has been Paul Goldschmidt. You understand the point by mentioning those names. Each of those teams is at or heading towards the lead in their division and they all have one player that has led the way either all season or at least for a large section of the season. Sometimes it switches from one player to the other. For the Angels it has been no one.
To be fair Mike Trout is playing very well in his sophomore campaign and deserves credit for hitting .300 batting average, 12 homers and knocking in quite a few. He isn't the player to lead them by himself however. That will need to come from one of the big power names. Albert Pujols could do it but has been playing hurt all season and continues to. I think it is going to have to come from Josh Hamilton.
There have been a few signs here and there of big Josh coming out of his lackadaisical start but for the most part he has just been stuck in mediocrity. If this team is to dig their way anywhere close to even wildcard contention they are going to need a big hot streak from Hamilton or someone else. There needs to be someone step up and lead this team on a daily basis. Without it they have little hope.

Discussion in 'Android Apps & Games' started by Antwan, Nov 30, 2010.
I would like to know how to download movies and watch them on my droid X
Welcome to Android Forums! PM me if I can help you!
I'll move this to Android apps. Good luck in your quest. You may try converting the movies to mp4?
there is an app thats easy to use to convert video and stuff like such you already have to play on the android but it is not free, its called xilisoft video converter.
Or use handbrake. its free and there are tons of guides on here.
Download & install Rock Player from the market. Plays AVI video straight without conversion. Not so good with MKV however. I watch tons of video on my X without any conversion.
I won't be sharing any info on where to get content, as that's not exactly legal.
Yes it is. It is Freedom of Information, as is guaranteed every person (not 'citizen') by the constitution.
Even you.
In the broadest possible terms, then. I know one can obtain movies & tv shows on usenet. Google it if you don't know it, you'll be glad you did.
Correct, however the rules of this forum prevent posting illegal activities and talking about illegal downloading. So if you want to continue using this forum, dont talk about it.
Sitlet hit it RIGHT on the money.
This is a PRIVATELY owned forum. As such, the owner of the forum gets to decide what is allowed to be talked about and what is not allowed to be talked about on the forum that HE owns and that HE pays the bills for.
Anyways... back to the regularly scheduled thread. Remember that only LEGAL options should be discussed.

In 1989, a man named Jack Rebney recorded a mundane promotional sales video for the Winnebago corporation. Iowa summers are hot and humid and thick with flies, and Rebney was having a real shitty time. Rebney is tall, mustachioed, and imposing: His presence is too big for the frame and the Winnebago. In magnificently profane outtakes from the two-week shoot, Rebney rails against the flies, the crew, the script, the heat, the big dumb 'bago, and himself. He is frustration personified, with the faintest edge of humor and charm keeping him just this side of pathetic.
In a time before the term "viral video" even existed, Rebney's outtakes went viral—found-footage nerds dubbing and trading battered VHS tapes of what they called "Winnebago Man" or "The Angriest Man in the World." There's something truly compelling about Rebney—his anger, the flies, and his careful, erudite, basso speech devolving into a volley of fuck-fuck-fuck-fuck-fucks. Then YouTube came along, and Rebney was screwed. Overnight, he wasn't a person anymore—he was a meme.
Ben Steinbauer was one of those pre-viral viral-video obsessives who had watched "Winnebago Man" hundreds of times. So he decided to track Rebney down and make a documentary, Winnebago Man, about the man he eventually found.
After breezing through a dull and perfunctory history of people being mean to other people on the internet, Steinbauer finally manages to find Rebney, now 76 and living in seclusion on top of a mountain. Then the film gets awesome. Steinbauer, as it turns out, lucked the fuck out—Rebney is a fascinating subject: bitter, frightened, humiliated, aggressive, vulnerable, kind, and relentlessly funny. He's bewildered and shamed by the internet, by his "fans"—"some kind of a dumb-fuck dog and pony show"—but he has lots to say to them (mostly angry things, mostly about Dick Cheney). He feels old.
In one scene, Steinbauer presses Rebney to discuss his childhood, his history, his love life. Rebney resists, clearly spooked. "You want to talk about me? Is that what you want?" he shouts. "Yes! I'm trying to talk about you!" Steinbauer responds, exasperated. "Well, I DON'T." We can't help but share Steinbauer's exasperation—after spending so much time watching Rebney (and the man is magnetic), it feels like we deserve to know everything about him for our own lurid amusement. (Or, on the flipside, to dehumanize the guy even more. "I don't want the reality of it," says one Rebney early adopter. "I want to see the buffoon.") But of course we don't. In this weird age of cruel, exhilarating, anonymous internet celebrity, it's easy to feel like complete strangers belong to us somehow. Rebney wants to make sure we fucking know he belongs to himself. The ending of Winnebago Man is sweet and shows that, maybe, he can do both.

NBA Trade Rumors are abuzz about the Boston Celtics landing DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall. While nothing official has been confirmed yet, this may be a distinct possibility. John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins have previously expressed a mutual desire to reunite again.
NBA Trade Rumors are talking of new developments concerning DeMarcus Cousins. Inquisitr reports that Cousins may eventually be traded to the Boston Celtics. The Sacramento Kings are reportedly considering a possible trade during the current season.
NBA Trade Rumors also talk of how the Kings would anyway have moved Cousins sometime soon. The Boston Celtics on the other hand, have been looking to get a bigger star for their lineup. However, the team has not been able to land a real game changer as of yet.
Also Read: NBA Rumors: Brandon Knight Eyed by Philadelphia 76rs, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, Pelicans
DeMarcus Cousins may also be lured to join the Boston Celtics if John Wall also follows suit. John Wall is currently the point guard for the Washington Wizards and he is also being wooed by the Celtics. There are rumors of the Boston Celtics having already expressed interest for John Wall as well.
Wall has already admitted openly that he does not quite combine well with Bradley Beal. This friction between the two key players is already hurting the performance of the Wizards. Additionally, Wall and DeMarcus Cousins continue to be the best of friends.
Are these NBA Rumors coming true?
The Boston Celtics may actually benefit from having two happy players reunited on their roster. There may also be another big ticket deal that rumor mills are pointing at. This will involve eight players, four teams and two draft picks.

The deal could take place between the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards. The Sacramento Kings and Brooklyn Nets may be the other two key players in the deal. By this deal, the Boston Celtics will get both John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins.
The Washington Wizards will get Brook Lopez and Isiah Thomas. The Kings will get Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. The Kings will also get the first round draft pick in 2017 of the Nets. The Nets will also get Amir Johnson, Marcin Gortat and their first round draft choice for 2018. This draft pick is presently owned by the Boston Celtics.

Eli Roth has confirmed that he will Executive Produce a Cabin Fever Reboot film. Travis Zariwny will begin shooting off of Roth's original script. Eli Roth said that Travis had a great vision for the original script and Roth cannot wait to see it. Below we have the press release for the Cabin Fever Reboot. Tell us what what you think of this news in the comments below.
Los Angeles, CA (October 20, 2014) - Armory Films, Cassian Elwes and Contend have announced today that they have joined together to produce the remake of Eli Roth's horror thriller hit CABIN FEVER, with Travis Zariwny (INTRUDER) directing and Armory and Pelican Point Media financing. The film, to be reshot from the original 2002 version by Eli Roth and Randy Pearlstein, stars Gage Golightly ("Teen Wolf"), Dustin Ingram (PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3), Samuel Davis ("From Dusk Till Dawn" - TV), Matthew Daddario (DELIVERY MAN) and Nadine Crocker (DEADGIRL). CABIN FEVER will be produced by Contend's Evan Astrowsky, (who also produced the original film with Roth) and Armory Films' Chris Lemole and Tim Zajaros.
Cassian Elwes will executive produce along with Roth, Ike Suri and Jaclyn Ann Suri, and Peter Fruchtman. The film has begun principal photography this week in Portland, Oregon. Voltage Pictures is handling international sales on the film at the upcoming American Film Market. Cassian Elwes and CAA are representing the domestic rights.
Cabin Fever follows in Eli Roth's original footsteps when a group of college students, who rent a cabin in the woods to do some partying, begin to fall victim to a flesh-eating virus and all hell breaks loose.
The original premiered at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival with Elwes involved in a massive bidding war for the film. This version will be shot from the exact same script that Roth directed 13 years ago, as opposed to going through a long, delayed studio development process.
"Travis had an amazing vision for my original script, and as a scary movie fan I really wanted to see it. I almost see this like re-staging a play, and I'm excited to see what ideas Travis and the cast bring to it. They're all fans of the original and want to make a film that's a new classic and I believe they will," said Roth.
Roth is best known for his work directing the original Cabin Fever as well as genre hits Hostel I and Hostel II and his latest effort, The Green Inferno, which premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
Additionally, the filmmakers plan to give the recently deceased Susan Jackson, who Executive Produced the original, a "dedicated to" title at the end of the film.

Riding a wave of interest in alternative models into her own porn empire, Joanna Angel is an intense performer and director who runs her own production company and line of videos and websites. In an industry with colorful characters, she has not only stood out, but also created a brand that has garnered her a devoted group of followers.
JoannaAngel is much more than just a regular old porn site. It's one with a great focus on sex scenes for those who like alt-babes and body mods and pretty much anything out of the norm. Miss Angel regularly maintains a blog with updates and random musings. She also has a webcam section where she or a guest model comes on and chat with members.
The 96 videos are a mix of hardcore action and behind-the-scenes fare that gives members a chance to discover more about this alt-porn princess. A portion of the material is footage from the many films she has released through her Burning Angel video company.
You're given multiple sizes and formats of video files to watch the action, with the best ones offering HD playback. The scenes run as short as two minutes to as long as 40. You can also stream the flicks and grab a version for your portable device.
You'll find the sucking and fucking quite varied and unique, from your standard one-on-one, threesome and gangbang sessions to more creative ideas like night-vision orgies and pool-cue anal play. Joanna likes her sex to be very rough, so expect hair pulling, pussy smacking and even some breath play. It seems she adds one new video and a gallery each week.
Like the videos, the 49 picture galleries show Joanna fucking a variety of smoking-hot men and women. The pics are all high-res and gorgeous to look at, so it's a shame that you can't save any of the sets in Zip folders.
As a bonus, you're given access to the site I mentioned earlier, which is great for finding more alt porn content. She also lists what industry events she hosts and appears in so you can see her in person, as well as occasionally holds contests.
A ton of fun and engaging content, a low monthly membership price and enjoyable bonus material are a just a few things that make Joanna Angel stand out. If you like your porn to be a little different from the norm, this is the site for you.

Comfortable fit, though they are a little thin in the legs, if you are a bigger guy (as I am) you may want to consider going a size up. They look great, when matching with a shirt to bring some of the accent colors out makes the pants really pop. If looking good is a priority (as playing good isn't an option for me) then you can't beat these pants for the price

I went to my local Ask Italian with two other members of my family. My first visit. Loved it. We all did. I will definitely be going again.

Service good, and food arrived quickly and very tasty. But not Impressed with the staff, they were hovering around for payment and even turned the air con on,,it was a very cold evening out and this was turned on and we were so cold we had to leave. This was done deliberately In order to make us feel as if we had to pay up and go, we were even told by the person who was working behind the bar, that can we pay as they can total up the takings, they kept coming back to the table to take a glass or a spoon. It was obvious that they wanted to go home, they should appreciate they have a job and not rush people. It was warm In The front of the shop where they worked when we eventually paid and left, so very very noticeable. In fact they heard me make a comment, there should be a time displayed that your not welcome after 10 pm as this is how it made us feel. We were I formed that the restaurant was closed. But feel free to sit there, but unable to in the freezing cold.
Such a shame as I met up with two other friends who I don't see very often and wanted to go out and have a nice meal and a chat.but this was spoilt, all three of us felt the same. My friend said that they really got on her nerves.

Had free taste of a new lemonade on arrival, which I went onto order with my meal. Staff were friendly and attentive and service was with a smile. Had very bad experience here in the past but so glad I chose to try it again had a really great meal out.

Use this restaurant a great deal. Had great service last night. Very attentive waitress, very polite and helpful. Quick service! Only disappointment was they had run out of elderflower for my gin fizz cocktai, which is my favourite drink!!!!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.....
Click away now if you feel you cannot handle the barage of photos of my dearest.
Below the blocks are all trimmed and ready to sew together. Maisie is just doing a last minute scan to make sure it's ok to proceed..
I made 18 appliques from the pattern and improvised the other 7 by using designs found on the net and other patterns I had at home.
I picked out the fabric for the alternate blocks Wednesday with some help from Liz (the village quilters) who was up for a visit. I probably wouldn't have bought the fabrics so soon had she not wanted to visit Jemima's. I thought may as well take the blocks with me to get some help with selecting possible colours.
The beautiful apricot colour used for the outer triangles was the first to jump out at me and the yellow was the last. We auditioned about 6 fabrics with Veronica and when these were together it was love at first sight. Absolutely meant to be. Quite by accident as things often are as I couldn't decide between the two fabrics and had to have them both.
Finished size is approxiamately 150 cm square. A little smaller than the pattern but will be more than big enough for my purposes. I hope to hand quilt this lovely in the future.
Of course thanks to Elyte for turning on the light bulb, the pattern will be happily going to live at her place whenever she is ready. That's the least I could do.
I'd best leave this post at this stage of the photo overload I am over the moon to have finished this top.
There is some progress on some other projects but they can wait till next post.
you bet I'm happy dancing

It's gorgeous!!!! I would certainly be doing a Happy Dance if this was my finish. I keep saying I'm going to learn to do applique properly, but it still hasn't happened. I just joined a small sewing group who meets to do handwork a couple of times a month, so maybe that will be my encouragement.

I'm really enjoying catching up with your goings on. Don't know what happened to the last couple of months... maybe I was trapped in an alternate reality. Or maybe I was just asleep! My appreciation may be late but it's no less sincere.....xxx
p.s. haven't managed to start my SW yet!!! One day.

System Recovery Options....made a dvd ofm it. Took 2 hours to downlod. Put it in the laptop and guess what.....same BOOT MGR is missing. Everythingn we have tried always comes back to this.
The F8 fasst click did nothingn but hurt my finger....was 30 times enough lol?
Just stumped.......
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
W10 Pro desktop, W10 laptop, W10 laptop, W10 Pro tablet (all 64-bit)
When trying to boot from the Recovery disk, did you change the boot order to tell the system to try to boot from the DVD drive first? You'll need to go into the BIOS and change the boot order there. On many machines, you can press F12 during boot to access the boot order menu.
If you have the boot order correct, you should see a prompt during boot that says "Press any key to boot from CD...".
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
there is NO way to do anything.....
we have had the option choice to choose Cd/DVD
THere is one for a flash stick...we have tried both....just the message coming up unless we are supposd to do
something more than put the cd or flash disk in.....
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
Places we have visited......Missing Operatingn System
B oot Menu USB
Right now it is doing a pre boot Ssyten Assessment Build 4124
Hubby is ready to dump it and get a new one but I have all my stuff backed up on a portable hard drive and don't know how to get it installed.....IF we bought one....
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
What were the results of running the Diagnostics from the F12 menu? Did it detect and diagnose the Hard drive and other hardware? THen as I wrote before boot back into F12 to try the fuller suite of diagnostics labeled Utility Partition.
You cannot simply put the Win DVD You burned into the drive and expect it to boot. You must trigger it to boot by tapping the same F12 key. Look for the DVD drive choice.When you select it do you get a prompt to "Press any Key to boot disk?" If not then it is not burned correctly. Did you use the Windows Tool to burn it to a new disk? Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.
Once it's booted click Next to the second screen and choose Repair My Computer. Does it find an installation to repair? If so highlight it, click through to tools to run Startup Repair.
Report back what it finds.
Is it possible the Active flag was moved from its partition when your husband worked in Disk Management? You can determine which is Partition Marked Active using the Command Line in System Recovery Options from disk, or go ahead and download the Partition Wizard bootable CD, rightclick its file to burn to CD with Windows Image Burner, boot it and take a camera snap of the full drive map and listings, post back using Paper Clip in reply box.
There is no reason to buy a new PC because some minor change was made that has made it unbootable. We deal with this every day here. At worst it will require doing a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which is vastly better install than the Dell preinstalled Win7, better than 90% of users have. You already backed up your files so there will be no loss, only gain.

I am SO appreciative that you are spending your time trying to help me. We spent 12 hours on this yesterday and have been at it 6 so far today. I am doing as best I can trying to keep you updated.
"You cannot simply put the Win DVD You burned into the drive and expect it to boot. You must trigger it to boot by tapping the same F12 key. Look for the DVD drive choice.When you select it do you get a prompt to "Press any Key to boot disk?"
NOPE, Just the Boot MGR missing If not then it is not burned correctly. Did you use the Windows Tool to burn it to a new disk? Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.
Oh Man, I Put the dvd in I downloaded on my desktop. Look what it said:
File "autorun.dll" could not be loaded or is corrupted. Setup cannot continue.
So I have spent all this time for nothing. Should have known when it took 2.5 hours to DL.
Last thing it said before shutting it off was
" No suitable Disk Media is Present. Code can be used by Tech Support to help Diagnose the problrem. " Express Test Service Tag 0FDO.133c MSG Disk
Now we are back to Boot mgr missing......
How long would you guess it would take to fix it if we started over ?????
Could we do a PM ????
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
We keep help in the thread so others can learn. The error most likely means the hard drive is dead or dying.
What were results of Diagnostics and utility partition run from F12? If they will not run then boot the HD diagnostics CD TEST also linked repeatedly.
It is discouraging that you've spent so much time yet skipped so many steps. This requires not missing a single step. If you are unsure how to perform a step ask back but we are wasting time repeating steps so start at top of steps I've given you and work through every one before we give any more.
As to disk. I've asked you three times if you burned it using tool and if it Will boot in another PC? If not then make sure download completes this time and burn to new DVD with tool, make sure it boots in another PC
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
Do you believre in Miracle???? Im so!!! Aftyer reading your thoughts about if nothing was helping after I downloaded the DVD and hubby copied to a flash stick and it not boot. I put it in my desktop and it said it was corrupted. Soooooooooo ,hubby werbt to Microsoft and downloded a repair disk....
IT WORKED!!! So now we are at the desktop. We still need the C drive enlarged.
Would you consider helping me or hubby do it???? Will get it next to another puter ans follow your instructions to the T!!!!!

Contempt of Congress
Friday, June 27, 2008; 12:49 PM
A House Judiciary subcommittee summoned David S. Addington out of the shadows yesterday in an attempt to get the vice president's furtive chief enforcer to enlighten the public about how the United States came to embrace torture as a valid interrogation technique.
But the accomplished puppet master showed he can shroud himself in obscurity even under the klieg lights. The only thing Addington made clear was his contempt for the members of Congress and their questions.
He and fellow witness John Yoo, the main author of what's become known as the torture memo, offered nothing but non-answers. Their refusal to acknowledge as illegal abhorrent conduct that is beyond the pale even for this administration -- such as torturing a detainee's child or burying a detainee alive -- suggested that their only goal yesterday was to say absolutely nothing of any substance whatsoever, no matter what they were asked. That or their souls are entirely hollow. Or both.
Here's the C-SPAN video of yesterday's hearing; here are video highlights from the American News Project.
The Coverage
Dan Eggen writes in The Washington Post that yesterday's testimony "was light on new details but heavy on rhetorical disputes with members of a House Judiciary subcommittee. Both witnesses avoided direct answers to a host of questions about their roles in preparing the legal ground for harsh interrogation tactics while arguing that such methods had been crucial in preventing another terrorist attack on U.S. soil after Sept. 11, 2001. . . .
"Addington, who has been widely described as one of the key forces behind the Bush administration's most aggressive counterterrorism policies, said some reports of his involvement were overstated. He said, for example, that he was briefed by Yoo about his 2002 memo but that he had no role in shaping it.
"Addington also said he was more deeply involved in the CIA's interrogation program than the one used by the Pentagon at the military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Under the CIA program, high-level detainees were kept in secret prisons abroad and subjected to harsh interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, or simulated drowning.
"Much of the hearing was consumed by semantic or legalistic disputes, and the only two Republicans who attended complained that the Democrats were hectoring the witnesses. Yoo frequently said he could not discuss internal deliberations, citing instructions from the Justice Department."
Dana Milbank, also writing for The Post, describes the scene in his Washington Sketch: "There he sat, hunched and scowling, at the witness table in front of the House Judiciary Committee: the bearded, burly form of the chief of staff and alter ego to the vice president -- Cheney's Cheney, if you will -- and the man most responsible for building President Bush's notion of an imperial presidency. . . .
"Could the president ever be justified in breaking the law? 'I'm not going to answer a legal opinion on every imaginable set of facts any human being could think of,' Addington growled. Did he consult Congress when interpreting torture laws? 'That's irrelevant,' he barked. Would it be legal to torture a detainee's child? 'I'm not here to render legal advice to your committee,' he snarled. 'You do have attorneys of your own.'. . .
"Think of Addington as the id of the Bush White House. Though his hidden hand is often merely suspected -- in signing statements, torture policy and other brazen assertions of executive power -- Addington's unbridled hostility was live and unfiltered yesterday."
Julian E. Barnes writes in the Los Angeles Times: "For years, congressional Democrats dreamed of getting a crack at a man they saw as a key player behind the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods against detainees in the war on terrorism -- methods the critics say amount to torture.

Girls' Team Returns from Africa with Opened Eyes
Traveling abroad for a teen, especially to Africa, can "jump-start a lifetime of social and moral awareness." For a D.C. girls' soccer team, a trip to South Africa opened their eyes to the poverty and HIV/AIDS epidemic burdening girls their age who faced them on the soccer field. After returning home, the American teens are already thinking about what they can do next year to continue their involvement. (Wash Post) Thanks to Jim S. for the link!

Why Ski Alone?
Let's face it: It is not much fun always skiing by yourself. It's OK for a run or two, but who is going to laugh at you and tell everyone how awesome your fall was if you ski by yourself, or help you climb back up that steep slope you've just accidentally fallen over! And of course, its no fun being a "no friends Nigel" for two weeks, skiing, dining and drinking by yourself.
You don't, of course, have to be single to join one of our Tours. Many of our clients are couples who either perhaps ski at different levels or speeds and enjoy being able to go off for a couple of hours with someone of their own ability knowing their partner is also enjoying themselves.
There's also the camaraderie – many of our clients have been on several of our Tours and enjoy getting together once a year.
You also, of course, get to enjoy the benefits of cheaper Group Airfares, lift tickets and accommodation costs.
If you are traveling alone we will always endeavor to find you a suitable roommate if you wish to twin share and save costs.
Or if you wish to join the group but would like your own room and bathroom we have limited single rooms available for an extra supplement.

With fifty covers to her name, an international following and an ongoing relationship with editorial titles , Linda Jefferyes understands the subtlety and the power of makeup. She describes it as fun, fantasy and a perfect meeting point between fact and fiction.
Inspired by art history, pop culture and the 'force and light' of every individual face, Jefferyes art strikes the balance between flattery and transformation: "Beauty, unlike fashion, is a stable entity, because universally we are drawn to clarity, symmetry and certain magnetic glow. My job is always to restore the balance and polish personal features: a magnetic face is rarely a perfect one."
Perhaps it was Jefferyes experience as a model that sharpened her view or the years she spent in London immersed in sub culture, fashion and the music industry. The sophistication in her craft combines a deft sense of proportion and the will to change. Working with celebrities is one of her special skills as is her close collaboration with photographers. Jefferyes is known for her creative innovation, refined production skills and the ability to forge subtle nuances in even the most famous faces:
"Every face has the potential to be iconic but control is the enemy of change. Modern makeup always involves a degree of trust, and you can only win that trust through experience."
Drawn to the major productions, advertising campaigns and editorial shoots her (return) clients include David Jones, Country Road, Oroton, Zimmerman, Sheridan, Westfield, Bassike, Oxford Shop, Strand Arcade, Opera Australia, QVB, Forever New, Karen Walker, Elle & Harper's Bazaar.
