Dec. 11th Prize: General International 10" Left-Tilt Table Saw
Woodworkers from all across the country have been signing up in droves for our 31 Days of Christmas Sweepstakes. Hopefully you're already in on the action – but in case you've been neglecting to toss your name in hat each day, I wanted to remind you of just how amazing tomorrow's prize is.
We're giving away a 10″ left-tilt, 2HP table saw from General International. This beauty has a 30″ T square fence, a 44″ x 27″ cast iron table with two extension wings plus a translucent blade guard. General International normally retails this table saw at $1,650 – but this holiday season, Santa (in the guise of Popular Woodworking Magazine and General International) will be delivering it to one lucky winner.
I bet you'd like to claim this table saw, and you certainly might… as long as you don't forget to sign up on December 11th (tomorrow!). Check out the details and sign up here.

Against Question 5
Toothpaste squeezed out of a tube follows as more sensible path than Maryland's revised congressional districts. Why so bizarre? Mostly to benefit incumbent Democrats and to expand their reach. (This time around, that means knocking off incumbent Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett in the 6th.) Democrats justify such gerrymandering on the grounds that Republicans do the same in other states. But what about the broader interest in making sure Maryland voters aren't disenfranchised by these serpentine districts that snake across county lines and geographic boundaries? Better to force Gov. Martin O'Malley and lawmakers back to the drawing board.

Yesterday, we reported on the allegations made by Gregory Perry. He claims that 10 years ago, several developers were paid by the FBI to implement hidden backdoors into OpenBSD's IPSEC stack. This has prompted a lot of speculation about the allegations' validity, and less than 24 hours later, it has descended into one person's word against that of others. Update: Jason Wright, too, denies all the allegations. "I will state clearly that I did not add backdoors to the OpenBSD operating system or the OpenBSD crypto framework (OCF). [...] It is a baseless accusation the reason for which I cannot understand."

BERLIN (AP) — Berlin's Jewish Museum has chosen a professor of Jewish studies and religion to succeed its founding director, who is stepping down later this year.
The museum's governing council said Thursday that Peter Schaefer, who has taught at Princeton University as well as universities in Tuebingen, Cologne and Berlin, will take over from Michael Blumenthal.
Monika Gruetters, Germany's culture minister, praised Blumenthal for the "unprecedented success" of the museum. She says Schaefer is an internationally known expert on Jewish issues who brings with him many contacts from Israel and the United States.
Blumenthal, who fled Nazi Germany as a child and started as director of the museum in 1997, will step down Sept. 1. The Daniel Libeskind-designed museum opened to the public in 2001 and is now a major Berlin attraction.

Ever since July 4, 2016, you have seen fit to hold several rude congresses with my wife in her bedroom, directly above my study. As a feminist, I support my wife's sexual freedom and right to explore. However, please be aware that this is a residential neighborhood, and that your mingled grunts and moans are criminally audible, even above the boom box. Chaddick woke me up the last time you were here, because he was scared someone was killing his Mommy.
As a courtesy to everyone, would you mind escorting my wife to any of several nearby hotels the next time you have a date planned? I can reimburse the expenses, if you let me know in advance. My wife and I have discussed this before, but she is understandably eager to commence coitus whenever you come over and consequently heedless to logistics.
On a personal note, Donald Trump is not my president and I do not appreciate you donning a "Make America Great Again" hat when you visit our home. Nor am I amused by your muscular efforts to make me do likewise.
I hope this letter doesn't offend you, but it's important to clear the air. I am glad that you and my wife get along.
Your friend,
tree man(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3650226&forum_id=2#33578681)

Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look
Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look
I gotta tell you, the eyeshadows from All Ages, All Races, All Sexes are really not so flattering on me. I'm thinking it's probably the cool edge that they all have; it's just a little much on me when used together. I think Cross-Cultural and Showstopper can be used, but perhaps not together. I think, on me, I need something earthy and metallic-y to warm them up and make them more flattering to my skin tone. (This is what prompted me to throw in Honey as the eyeliner… probably should have done Bourbon instead!)
So Sweet, So Easy really isn't too cool for those with warm skin tones, but it can look cooler or warmer depending on what you pair it with. If you want to try this look, I'd recommend opting for a cooler-toned liner (maybe a neutral brown) and Resort Life lipgelee instead — I think the pink in Preppy doesn't quite suit the coolness of the eyes.
Even though it didn't come out to my liking, at least it can show you some of the new products in action! As always, experimentation is key to finding out what you like and don't like — and makeup always washes off! 🙂
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), MAC Universal Mix Pigment (white gold), MAC All Races Eyeshadow (cool lilac-mauve), MAC Banshee Eyeshadow (dirty pink), MAC Cross-Cultural Eyeshadow (medium-dark brown), MAC Showstopper Eyeshadow (dark black-brown), MAC Bisque Eyeshadow (matte neutral highlighter), Urban Decay Honey 24/7 Liner (gold), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Cheeks: MAC So Sweet, So Easy Cremeblend Blush (medium pink)
- Lips: MAC Preppy Lip Gelee
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 188 (small stippling brush)
- Substitutes: All Races = no dupe; Cross-Cultural = Espresso; Showstopper = Brun; So Sweet, So Easy = Ladyblush; Preppy = Pinkarat
For eyes, start by applying Soft Ochre paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the lid with the 249. With water-based mixing medium, apply Universal Mix pigment onto the eyelid with the 239. Using the 239, apply All Races eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Banshee eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Cross-Cultural eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Next, define the crease by applying Showstopper eyeshadow with the 226. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Bisque eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Honey Liner on the lower lash line, and then sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply So Sweet, So Easy cremeblend blush to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 188.
For lips, apply Preppy lip gelee for shimmer and color on lips.

The ATA specifies a command called "Secure Erase" than can be used to erase all sectors of a hard drive.
More information here:
I did a search and found a link to some freeware programs that should be able to help:
3. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?sjprg Jun 26, 2010 5:13 PM (in response to NandFlashGuy)
Might try this site. I just spent the day playing with it with a spare computer and drive. Download a copy of ubuntu 10.04. Use the Try tab after you burn the ISO to a CD and boot from the CD. Then use the following info.

Hello Everyone,
I am having an issue with HDPARM. I get an I/O error when trying to erase it from Windows 7 safe mode command prompt as a enclosure on my Dell XPS M1210 Laptop. Any suggestions on getting pass this?

5. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?sjprg Jun 27, 2010 10:13 PM (in response to tsevan)
Are you trying to USE hdparm of delete it? Your question is worded very ambiguiosly.
Have you read the above link? and do you understand the dangers and ramifications of Hdparm?
6. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?tsevan Jun 27, 2010 10:30 PM (in response to sjprg)
Thanks for the follow up. I am trying to use hdparm to delete it. I have been skimming through the links to find a quick solution. I probably do not know the ramifications of hdparm as well I should, but at this point the drive is being replaced by the retailer I purchased it from. However, I still would like to find a quick solution to delete it in general before returning to the manufacture or even restoring it myself given it sounds like I am going to have issues with this piece of hardware down the road.

Do you mean erase the drive? You can't delete the drive, only erase the data on it! Once again read this. There is NO quick and easy way. It will take you a least 1 day to erase the drive.
Download a copy of ubuntu 10.04. Burn the ubuntu to a CD. Use the Try tab after booting from the CD. Do not install ubuntu, you want to run it from the CD!
read and use the following info.
Thr procedure is fairly straight foward, BUT you must understand what it is doing.
8. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?graysky Jun 28, 2010 4:18 PM (in response to sjprg)
If you're running Linux, can't you just overwrite the drive with zeros? For more on this, see the securely wipe hdd artile on the Arch wiki.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
9. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?sjprg Jun 28, 2010 5:27 PM (in response to graysky)
Very possibly true, I don't know. If #DD allowes you to access all blocks that would be my prefered method as clearing an SSD for a raid 0 array is all I would need. As I am not a Unix person I can't speak to the Intricacies of #DD. I have found by experment that hdparm works from ubuntu 10.4. I'll explore #DD from unbuntu and see what I can find out.
10. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?sjprg Jun 28, 2010 9:27 PM (in response to sjprg)
the command
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M appears to be working from ubunto.
I'll confirm when it completes.
This command writes a file to a requested partition, but it does not delete the partitions. Expermenting with a drive it appeare the only way to completely erase the drive and all blocks and partitions is the hdparm command. If there is another way someone please chime in.
11. Re: Erase an SSD before returning it?8rows Jun 30, 2010 12:28 PM (in response to 8rows)
Thanks everyone for replying with the all the suggestions. hdparm running in Ubunto turned out to do the trick in my case. Along the way I discovered a few things that may be useful for other heading down this path in the future:
1) traditional disk wiping programs (e.g., DBAN) may not actually destroy all the data as intended due to the wear-leveling built into SSDs. This premise is somewhat contested but what I read cast enough doubt that I looked for other options.
2) the ATA Secure Erase command - if supported by the drive manufacturer - resets the drive back to factory status. For an SSD, this means clearing all the cells. For an HDD, they likely implement a 0-write or DBAN-type algorithm to wipe the contents.
3) HDDErase 4.0 doesn't support the Intel X25-M line, but there's apparently a 3.3 version that does. I ran into numerous issues getting 3.3 configured on a bootable USB flash drive and then having it actually recognize the drives in my system. This could be related the old hardware I am using.
4) there's a Windows version of hdparm out there that looked like it may work for me. But even though the drive was not in use, Windows must've had some lock on it because hdparm on Windows would always fail with a Input/Output error when running the --security-erase command.
In the end I followed the instuctions from https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase to create the Ubunto Live CD and succesfully ran hdparm from there. The insturctions on running the tool are very clear and concise.
Thanks again for all the responses!

There is one famous application for Windows called SDelete:

By Valerie Volcovici
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A California hedge fund investor has pledged $100 million in contributions to pro-environmentalist congressional campaigns, bolstering the battle against climate change.
Billionaire Tom Steyer on Wednesday night hosted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and six other Democratic lawmakers for a fundraiser at his San Francisco home and is planning an ad campaign for candidates who support tough action on climate change.
Steyer, founder of the hedge fund Farallon Capital, plans to spend $50 million of his own money and raise another $50 million from other donors for the November midterm elections.
His aim is to serve as a political counterweight to the conservative billionaire Koch brothers, who have already spent $30 million so far this year on attack ads targeting vulnerable Democratic senators who have supported the healthcare reform law popularly known as Obamacare.
Steyer hosted Reid and some of Congress' most active climate change advocates: Senators Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Ben Cardin of Maryland, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Tom Udall of New Mexico, and Representative Gary Peters of Michigan, according to a source who attended the dinner and who spoke on condition of anonymity.
They were joined by former Vice President Al Gore, who has spent much of his post-Washington life campaigning for strong climate change legislation, such as a carbon tax.
The 40-person dinner, paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, raised more than $400,000. Democratic donors Mark Buell and Susie Tompkins Buell, co-founder of the Esprit clothing company, and Lorna and Wade Randlett, renewable energy investor and founder of the Bay Area Democrats, co-hosted the dinner of salmon and grass-fed beef from Steyer's ranch.
Steyer used the opportunity to share the latest results of a poll his group plans to release on Thursday that will show that American voters are deeply concerned about the construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.
The poll examines "voter sentiments related to whether the TransCanada (Corp.) oil will stay in the U.S. or leave the country; nature of foreign investment; and whether TransCanada should be required to testify under oath as to where the refined oil will go," said the source who attended the fundraiser.
Steyer has been a vocal opponent of the Keystone XL pipeline and has called on the Obama administration to reject a permit that would allow the project to cross the U.S.-Canadian border.
The pipeline has taken on a wider meaning for Obama, who says he is committed to energy independence and weaning the nation off fossil fuels blamed for climate change.
Steyer's NextGen group is even willing to challenge vulnerable Democrats who have voiced support for the Keystone pipeline.
Earlier this month, it launched a campaign to get people to vote online for a candidate that NextGen should target in its next TV ad. The list includes newly minted Senate Energy Committee Chair Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat.
The group is also looking to support Democrats in other races where they are facing opponents of climate change action. A New York Times article said the group is looking at a Senate race in Iowa and support for the Democratic candidate, Representative Bruce Braley, an advocate of measures to address climate change.
Steyer may also be considering the governor's race in Florida and supporting the challenger to incumbent Republican Rick Scott. Scott has said that scientific evidence has not established that humans have caused climate change.

Active Essentials: John Carpenter
In a new feature, Matt looks at the five best flicks from director John Carpenter
Over the past several years we have reported the news on and reviewed a rather large number of discs, but with an exponentially increasing number of titles released each year since the format's inception there are just so many choices out there to choose from that it's nearly impossible to fully sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly of what's sitting on the shelf at your favourite retailer. Double-dips of this and double-dips of that, movies newly released to the format after years of sitting dormant in some studio vault, unrated and director's cuts with 47-seconds of additional footage, seasons of television programs that have been long forgotten and some that should have stayed that way, re-mastered in high-definition for your viewing enjoyment with the original mono upgraded to 6.1 DTS ES sound, Greedo still shooting first in digital clarity…it's all a bit overwhelming and can be maddening with all of the choices presented in store aisles and with only so much cash to fund an expedition into the jungle.
It's with this dilemma in mind that we decided to begin something new here at DVDActive.com and begin a series of articles that cut through all of the useless junk cluttering store shelves, on-line searches, and even that ever growing shelf in your living room that started out so small and innocent just a few, short years ago. A series of articles that present to you only the best of the best, the cream of the crop, titles that should be in anyone's collection or on anyone's wish list—the essentials.
Just so we all start off on the same footing, the dictionary defines the word essential as the following:
Pronunciation: i-'sen(t)-sh&l
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, or constituting essence : INHERENT
2 : of the utmost importance : BASIC, INDISPENSABLE, NECESSARY
We here at DVDActive.com apply the label of essential to any DVD that, if given the choice of relinquishing such a great disc or loosing a limb, we would gnaw off of our right arm in order to keep it on our shelf. Okay, so maybe that only applies to me, but you get the idea. The films included in this and future articles to come are not only great films, but also represent the best combination of what the DVD format has to offer in terms of picture quality, sound, and extras. Each article will comprise of five such discs, with each piece focusing on a particular genre, actor, best boy, director, or anything else we can think of to link a few movies together in a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon sort of way. I'm kidding about the best boy part, but again I think you get the basic idea.
John Carpenter
So now that you're knee deep into this article I'm sure you're either thinking to yourself or asking aloud, "okay, but what makes any of John Carpenter's movies essential"? Well, for the better part of the past twenty-years he has been one of my favourite directors and someone I feel is greatly underrated outside of the horror community. As a director he's been deemed a 'Master of Horror', but in all fairness that title does a great disservice to a number of the pictures in his filmography, three of which can be found within this list, and the manner in which he serves as writer, producer, and even composer on a number of the movies which span his career makes him unique in the industry and has helped him to carve out a signature style all his own.
My second rational is that ever since the home video market began its shift towards providing more and more supplemental material to go along with movies, John Carpenter has been a filmmaker who has embraced the opportunity to take an active involvement in providing candid and entertaining commentaries and behind-the-scenes material for most of his films available on DVD and the laserdisc format before that. While the quality of each of his films may be completely subjective and the topic of some debate, there is little room to argue that his work has not been well represented on our favourite little format, thanks in no small part to the man himself.
Those two things should be reason enough for me to start off this series of articles on essential DVDs with director John Carpenter, and if you don't think it is then tough—I'm the one writing here. You can trust me on this though—if you've never seen these movies or don't already have these discs in your collection, you'll thank me later for pointing them out.
Halloween (1978)
It may be cliché to list Halloween at the top of any list of films by John Carpenter seeing as the man's name is so inseparable from it, but I don't see how anyone in their right mind could compile such a list without it. Halloween is the film that put Carpenter on the map plain and simple, and without its success you might not be reading an article on some of his best movies. It also ushered in a wave of imitators that chose to substitute a strong screenplay with an overabundance of blood and gore, something that is virtually non-existent in Carpenter's film past the very first scene. The fact that Halloween relies heavily on an atmosphere of tension rather than splatter patterns is its greatest strength; it's a picture that builds and builds toward the picture's final, terrifying reel and allows for an audience to invest in the characters on-screen. Once you add in all of the other intangibles of the picture, such as Dean Cundey's camerawork and Carpenter's own instantly recognizable score, you get a film that has withstood the test of time and is just as unsettling and as much of a thrill ride today as it was when it premiered in theaters back in the fall of 1978.
As the most important work in Carpenter's career, Halloween has fittingly received the best releases of any of his films on DVD. The only problem is that Anchor Bay Entertainment, the only company that has released it on the format, seems to follow the notion that for Halloween aficionados one DVD set may just not be enough as they have brought the movie out no less than five times since 1997. I myself own both the Restored Limited Edition release from 1999 which includes the television version of the film and the 25th Anniversary Divimax Edition, and each of these two-disc sets come with a variety of different extras that are worth a look. In this case, the choice as to which is essential not only comes down to the film, but just which version to get a hold of. For my money, and this must be true since I double-dipped to get it, the 25th Anniversary Edition is the way to go since for the first time on DVD you get the commentary track recorded by Carpenter, producer Debra Hill, and star Jamie Lee Curtis for the Criterion laserdisc edition included in the set.
Escape from New York (1981)
Carpenter's second film for AVCO Embassy Pictures was a gritty look at the ultimate penal system of the future with an anti-hero played by an actor who made a name for himself in a number of family-friendly Disney films made during the 60s and 70s. I'm speaking of course, just in case you missed the title right above this paragraph, about John Carpenter's Escape from New York, a film that demonstrated that horror wasn't the only genre that the director could excel in. Like his first major production, Assault on Precinct 13 in 1976, Escape is at its heart a western, and in this case features a war hero and criminal, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), who must break into New York City, depicted in the film as a maximum security prison, in order to rescue The President of the United States, played by English actor Donald Pleasence. It's a dark and satirical film that features plenty of action and fine performances from its supporting cast, which includes Harry Dean Stanton, Adrian Barbeau, Ernest Borgnine and as inmates, Lee Van Cleef as the warden, and Isaac Hayes as the guy who runs the prison on the inside.
After a pretty featureless release a few years ago, MGM Home Entertainment released a two-disc Special Edition of the film in 2003 that includes a great new high-definition transfer of the film, new 5.1 audio, a slew of extras and, best of all, the commentary track from Image's laserdisc with Carpenter and star Kurt Russell along with a newer track featuring producer Debra Hill and production designer Joe Alves. You can still purchase the single-disc release if you want as it's still widely available and you'll get one hell of a movie with it, but you should go ahead and splash down the few extra bucks for the two-discer—it's well worth it just for one of the best commentary tracks you're going to find on a DVD.
The Thing (1982)
As John Carpenter's first film at a Hollywood studio, The Thing was a critical and commercial flop at the box office during the summer of 1982. As a true testament to the power of the home video market, many people's opinions on the film have changed substantially over the years while it has steadily shed its cult label in exchange for simply being called a classic of the horror genre. Once again teaming up with Kurt Russell, Carpenter went back to the source material for the original film and made his version of the tale into an interesting antithesis to his seminal work, Halloween. This time Carpenter went all out and made a thriller that not only worked on a psychological level with a constant feeling of desolation and paranoia permeating through every frame of the picture, but also horrified audiences with some truly ahead of its time and gruesome effects work that still holds up today. Ever since I first saw the film during a heavily edited showing on network television years and years ago, The Thing has been one of my all-time favourite movies and to me Carpenter's best work overall.
Seeing as The Thing is my favourite Carpenter flick, you could conclude that I have owned the film on every format that has come along, and you'd be right in that assumption. As a matter of fact, it is one of a select few films that I still to this day own on VHS, laserdisc, and DVD, but since we're living in 2006 I'll stick to the latter of Universal Home Video's releases, and even more specifically their second DVD release of the movie from 2004. The disc features an all-new, digitally re-mastered, anamorphic widescreen picture to go along with all of the listed features from their original DVD release, which includes an outstanding 80-minute documentary on the making of the film and another great Carpenter-Russell commentary track. The only thing curiously missing from the previous disc is Ennio Morricone's foreboding score which could be found as an Easter egg of sorts on that release, but if you already have that it's just all the more reason to not eBay the older disc in favor of the newer one.
Starman (1984)
Carpenter's next close encounter featured an alien visitor who was a bit kinder and gentler than the one who died at the box office in 1982, and as a result 1984's Starman was a hit with moviegoers. Starring Jeff Bridges in an Academy Award nominated performance and Karen Allen, the picture is at its core a touching love story, and while not totally what one would expect from the director it all works wonderfully. It's also a road picture, which allows Carpenter and his cinematographer Donald M. Morgan to show off some expansive vistas during the course of the journey. Out of all of Carpenter's pictures, Starman is the most different from the rest of his body of work, but it works exceedingly well across a broad spectrum of demographics and genders and offers up a story that anyone can relate to and find entertaining.
Not counting the times the film has been re-packaged, the movie's first and only DVD release in region one from Sony Pictures is a pretty barebones affair, offering only the theatrical trailer as an extra and the choice of anamorphic widescreen or pan & scan for watching the film. A while back I ordered the region two version of the film, and while it still lacks a great deal of features, the disc does include a commentary track with Carpenter and star Jeff Bridges which made importing it from overseas a no-brainer for me. Why the track hasn't made an appearance here in region one land is beyond me as it's a great listen, and importing it is a move that I would recommend to anyone who has the means to do so.
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
I wrestled around with the question of which film I'd pick as the fifth and final one on this list, and I'm here to tell you as a fan of this particular director's body of work it was a tough call. I briefly flirted with the idea of including The Fog, They Live, or In The Mouth of Madness in the list, but if I were to sum up Carpenter's career in one movie it would have to be Big Trouble in Little China. In 1986 Carpenter once again teamed up with reoccurring star Kurt Russell, and once again the box office wasn't too kind to another of Carpenter's pictures. Perhaps Twentieth Century Fox was too busy with other genre pictures from that summer to correctly market the movie to audiences, but who knows. The movie works on a lot of different levels—sometimes it's a horror flick and at others it's a throwback to the old kung fu actions movies that flies off the screen with both feet flailing away full throttle, but above all that Big Trouble is a sly, wink-wink comedy, featuring a hero in Russell's truck driving Jack Burton whose not really the hero of this particular story, but sure enough thinks he is. Like Starman, the movie isn't everything you would expect from a 'Master of Horror', but then again that's what nice about each of Carpenter's films—there's always something different to go along with that signature style.
Along with the previously mentioned parallels the film has to others in his career, Big Trouble in Little China has also seen a resurgence over the past few years, and like The Thing is also beginning to shed its own label as a cult movie. The film's new found life is in no small part due to Fox Home Video's outstanding presentation of it on a DVD that few should be without. Originally the film was released as a two-disc special edition by Fox that featured a nice, anamorphic transfer, DTS sound, and plenty of extras spread across the set including, you guessed it, the third but hopefully not final of the commentary tracks featuring Carpenter and Russell. Unfortunately, Fox's two-disc special edition is no longer available in region one, and in its place on store shelves is a single-disc offering that not only strips away all of the two-disc's featurettes, but also replaces the DTS sound with the option of watching the movie in pan & scan which ruins Carpenter's visual style. It does still have the commentary track though, so if the second release is all you can conjure up then do so, but the region one two-disc set shouldn't be too difficult to track down on various on-line sites. In addition to tracking down a copy, you could also go ahead and just import it from region two where it is readily available, assuming of course that you own a region-free player.

There's no escaping it – if you're in Dublin for St Patrick's Day, you are going to get drunk. Between the fine ales and infectious atmospheres on offer within the Irish capital's boozers, March 17 has seen even the most determined teetotallers throw caution to the wind, pull on a big foam hat and get merry amidst the fiddlers. The party falls on a Saturday this year, meaning Dublin's drinking dens are set to be busier than ever. So to make sure you don't waste any time elbowing your way through sub-par establishments, here's our guide to the city's best bars, pubs and clubs. Try them all at your peril.
Without a good bellyful of stodge, we'd be surprised if you made it past sunset before hitting the deck. Kick the action off at one of these gastro hot-spots and enjoy some top notch pub grub with your first pint.
Dublin's oldest microbrewery pub sprawls casually over three storeys. Its wooden decor may be excessively rustic, but the Porterhouse makes up for that with the quality of the beer. It sells only its own label, but its stouts, lagers and ales are better than any mass-produced beer; the Oyster Stout, made on the premises with real oysters, is very good. It also serves excellent pub food at reasonable prices, and the Irish stew and bangers and mash will fill you up without breaking the bank.
16-18 Parliament Street (679 8847/www.porterhousebrewco.com). All cross-city buses/Luas Jervis. Open 11.30am-11.30pm Mon-Wed; 11.30am-2am Thur; 11.30am-2.30am Fri; noon-2.30am Sat; 12.30-11pm Sun.
Grogan's has a relaxed, shabby charm, great Guinness and tasty toasted sandwiches: three good reasons for its customers – old regulars and a number of more youthful rogues – to drop in. It's the perfect bolt-hole in which to escape the hustle and bustle of Grafton Street. The sometimes bizarre artworks on the walls are for sale, often put there by punters. A Dublin drinking institution.
15 William Street South (677 9320). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open 10.30am-11.30pm Mon-Thur; 10.30am-12.30am Fri, Sat; 12.30-11pm Sun.
Dimmed lighting and half-moon leather booths make Dakota one of Dublin's coolest and (predictably) busiest bars. The long bar ensures you're never waiting too long for a drink, although it can get a bit hectic at the weekend. It's a great place for a sociable drink with friends (try to grab one of those booths) and reliably quiet during the day, with a cool warehouse feel. It also does excellent mixed platters of finger food – ideal for soakage if you're planning on making a night of it.
9 William Street South (672 7696/www.dakotabar.ie). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open noon-11.30pm Mon-Wed, Sun; noon-2am Thur; noon-2.30am Fri, Sat.
Pearse Street can feel a little quiet and desolate at night, but O'Neill's is one good reason to venture down this way. It's only a few minutes from College Green (but still well away from the crowds) and it's a fine bar in general, with lots of separate rooms and big glowing fires. The ventilation could be better. Gaggles of besuited folk drink here, but don't be put off: there are plenty of seats for all – and good pub grub too.
37 Pearse Street (671 4074). DART Pearse. Open noon-11.30pm Mon-Thur; noon-12.30am Fri, Sat.
In Ulysses, Leopold Bloom stops here for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of burgundy. 'He raised his eyes and met the stare of a bilious clock. Two. Pub clock five minutes fast. Time going on. Hands moving. Two. Not yet.' The clock is said to be kept at five minutes fast and the bar is now a regular for well-dressed Dubliners. Seating can be scarce, and the place is better suited to conversation than raucous revelry. The food – more fish and chips than gorgonzola and burgundy – is quite good, and not overly expensive.
21 Duke Street (677 5217/www.davybyrnes.com). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open 11am-11.30pm Mon-Wed; 11am-12.30am Thur, Fri; 10.30am-12.30am Sat; 12.30am-11pm Sun.
Stomachs lined, it's time for the drinking to commence in earnest. Check these spots out for friendly crowds, fine ales and, of course, the best black stuff in the city.
This ornate Victorian gin palace has it all: jovial barman, old bloke at the bar with a pint of Guinness, smattering of characterful regulars. Indeed, the whole place looks as if it's been carved out of thick mahogany. From its antique chandeliers to its mirrored bar, the Long Hall has survived the recent neighbourhood renovations and is still regarded as one of Dublin's unmissable boozers.
51 South Great George's Street (475 1590). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open 4-11.30pm Mon-Wed, Sun; 1-11.30pm Thur; 1pm-12.30am Fri, Sat; 1-11pm Sun.
Aching to be hip and thoroughly self-conscious, this is not the original Bailey of lore. Before it was torn down years back, the old Bailey featured in James Joyce's Ulysses (Leopold Bloom lived at 7 Eccles Street, which used to be one of the entrances to the bar) and was a vital organ in Dublin's literary life. Today, the new Bailey has decor and drinks prices in step with the chic clientele; the outdoor seating area is a great spot at which to while away an afternoon watching Dubliners on the move. Bring a well-stuffed wallet.
2 Duke Street (670 4939). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open noon-11.30pm Mon-Thur, Sun; noon-12.30pm Fri, Sat.
Owned by Ireland's 'man-about-town' Eddie Irvine, Cocoon walks a fine line between stylish and tacky. TV screens tuned to music videos and fashion
television hang on the walls while expensively-dressed clientele adorn the plush couches, availing of the free Wi-Fi and high-priced drinks. Worth stopping by for an early evening cocktail and a peek at post-Celtic Tiger Dublin in action.
Royal Hibernian Way, off Grafton Street (679 6259/www.cocoon.ie). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open 11.30am-2.30am Mon, Thur, Fri, Sat; 11.30am-11.30pm Tue, Wed; 4-11.30pm Sun.
Very quickly after it opened its doors in 2007, Southwilliam – or Swilly as its pressed for time clientele have been known to call it – became a favourite with Dublin's trendier young tipplers. Its impressive array of imported beers and excellent selection of gourmet pies baked on-site make it an ideal spot to begin a night on the town. It can get a little crowded after 9pm, when the hipsters descend on the bar and the DJ starts up.
52 South William Street (672 5946/www.southwilliam.ie). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open noon-11.30pm Mon-Wed; noon-2.30am Thur-Sat; 3pm-1am Sun.
The oldest bar in Dublin to have kept its original form, the grand old Palace deserves a place on everybody's pub crawl. If it's authenticity you're after, this place delivers, with its aged marble counter, mirrored alcoves and a reputation as a writers' hang-out. Indeed, the walls are adorned with many famous literary faces. This is a pub that rarely gets uncomfortably busy.
21 Fleet Street (bar 677 9290/lounge 679 3037/www.palacebar.com). All cross-city buses/Luas Abbey Street. Open Bar 10.30am-11.30pm Mon-Thur; 10.30am-12.30am Fri, Sat; 12.30-11pm Sun. Lounge 7-11.30pm Tue; 5-11.30pm Wed, Thur; 5pm-12.30am Fri; 6.30pm-12.30am Sat; 6-11pm Sun.
The light is fading and so is your sense of balance – time to dig into the craic big time and head somewhere with live music and lots of space to stumble about in.
If you're up for a laugh and a sing-song, and you're happy to drink with dewy-eyed tourists enthusing about the traditional music being played onstage, this place, smack-bang in the heart of Temple Bar, is for you. There are bands playing traditional music upstairs, decent pints at the bar and coddle (a traditional Dublin sausage, bacon and potato stew) on the lunch menu. It can get very packed at the weekends.
24 Anglesea Street (677 0527/www.thesmithgroup.ie). All cross-city buses/Luas Jervis. Open 10.30am-11.30pm Mon-Thur; 10.30am-12.30am Fri, Sat; 12.30-11pm Sun.
Bruxelles is one of those Dublin institutions that somehow manages to appeal to almost every punter – hairy, heavy metal fans, indie kids in skinny jeans, old codgers, students and tourists. The rockers and mods bars downstairs play a weird mix of tunes; upstairs is for those who just fancy a good pint and a chat. Although it needs a lick of paint, the place has pots of charm – and a useful outside seating area.
7-8 Harry Street, off Grafton Street (677 5362). All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green. Open 10.30am-1.30am Mon-Wed; 10.30am-2.30am Thur-Sat; noon-1.30am Sun.
Sitting adjacent to the looming Central Bank and named after an old Irish ballad, this is one of the rare pubs in Temple Bar that draws a healthy mix of tourists and Dubliners. Indeed, since its refurbishment, it has attracted in the same jokers who once dubbed it the 'Dodgy Few'. You'll hear the best of Irish and international alternative music playing throughout the night. Get here early and lay claim to one of the charming snugs.
1 Fownes Street Upper (677 9328). All cross-city buses/Luas Jervis. Open noon-11.30pm Mon, Tue; 11am-12.30am Wed; 11am-1am Thur; 11am-2am Fri, Sat; 1pm-1am Sun.
There are only a few bars in Dublin that can honestly be described as painfully hip, and Octagon is one of them. Situated in the sleek Clarence Hotel (see p39) owned by Bono and The Edge, this eight-sided bar has seen some very famous bums on its black leather stools and in its sleek, contemporary booths. For all its trend factor, though, the staff are friendly and good at what they do; even when it's crowded, you'll soon have a generous, well-made cocktail in hand. It's a bit expensive, but some things are worth paying for. Watch the media space for the proposed changes to the Clarence.
Clarence Hotel, 6-8 Wellington Quay (670 9000/www.theclarence.ie). All cross-city buses/Luas Jervis. Open 11am-11.30pm Mon-Thur; 11am-12.30am Fri, Sat; noon-11pm Sun.
Dublin's miniature music institution has recently been refurbished to include a 200-capacity venue upstairs. By doubling its number of gigs, Whelan's has managed to cement its place as HQ for all things indie. Its success is due in no small part to the guidance of legendary broadcaster, author and promoter Leagues O'Toole, who has watched the venue blossom from a small club hosting then-unknowns such as Jeff Buckley to becoming Dublin's trendiest after-show nightspot.
25 Wexford Street (478 0766/www.whelanslive.com). Bus 16, 16A, 19, 19A, 122/Luas Harcourt. Open 10.30am-1.30am Mon-Wed; 10.30am-2.30am Thur-Sat; 2pm-1.30am Sun.
The pubs may be chucking out, but that doesn't mean the party has to stop. Head to one of these late night venues to round the night off in style. Just remember that hugging the doorman won't boost your chances of entry.
One of the city's oldest and largest theatres by day and a mega club by night, this big, Victorian place has several spaces for bands, DJs and films. There are lots of bars, and the warren-like structure of this beautiful old building means you almost need a map (or at least a local guide) to find your way around. The Gaiety is a particularly good destination for fans of Latin and jazz, or indeed for an older crowd.
King Street South, Around Trinity College (677 1717/www.gaietytheatre.com). All cross-city buses. Open midnight-2.30am Fri, Sat. Admission €12 Fri; €15 Sat.
This basement club and live music spot is the least tourist-oriented venue in Temple Bar. In fact, the average tourist would probably find the Hub a little unnerving. It hosts up-and-coming live acts until 11pm, then turns into a club. The vibe depends on what bands have played that night, but if you like it messy and rock 'n' roll, you won't be
23 Eustace Street, Around Temple Bar (670 7655). All cross-city buses. Open 8.30pm-2.30am daily. Admission €3-€10.
This is a new-school gay bar – which means, apparently, that you can't really tell that it's a gay bar: PantiBar is more about postmodern interior design than camp and cross-dressing. As with most gay-friendly bars, the music is the best pop party tunes. Owned and run by Dublin's best-loved drag queen Panti, who takes to the stage for what is arguably the most popular drag show each Thursday. From intimate acoustic sessions to the intriguingly-titled 'Furry Glen Bear Nights', there is something on Pantibar's slate for everyone.
7-8 Capel Street, North Quays (874 0710). All cross-city buses/Luas Jervis. Open 5-11.30pm Mon, Wed, Sun; 5pm-2am Tue; 5pm-2.30am Thur; Fri, Sat. Admission free.
Two flash, upmarket clubs in one: Spy upstairs, Wax downstairs. Spy is for those who like to watch and be watched rather than sweat on the dancefloor; Wax is all about the dancefloor, it's more of a weekend club, and the music is predominantly house and hip hop. This is an ideal spot for showing off, and the cocktails are fab. Spy has a dress code and a fairly strict door policy, but Wax goes the other way: if Spy is haute couture, Wax is jeans.
Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, William Street South, Around Temple Bar (677 0014/www.spydublin.com). All cross-city buses. Open 6pm-2.30am Mon-Sat; 9pm-1am Sun. Admission Spy free Mon-Fri; €8 non-members after midnight Sat. Wax €5-€8 Mon-Sat.
Formerly the famed Red Box, Tripod is one of the city's newest kids on the block. The club doubles up as a live venue, but is still renowned for its explosive club nights. Each Friday, 515 DJs rustle up a techno/house/dance set; on Saturdays, expect more commercial/chart-based fare. Situated within the Pod complex, which also houses Crawdaddy, the labyrinthine Tripod is designed to create an explosive atmosphere, especially on nights when big-name guest DJs like Carl Cox, Erick Morillo and James Lavelle visit.
Old Harcourt Street Station, Harcourt Street, Around St Stephen's Green (478 0225/0166/www.pod.ie). All cross-city buses. Open 7.30pm-2.30am Admission €10-€25.

OAK BEACH, N.Y. – A dolphin has been rescued from a sandbar off the southern shore of Long Island.
The Risso's dolphin is a 9-foot, 600-pound female. Staff from the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation made the rescue Thursday near Oak Beach with help from the Coast Guard.
Foundation rescue program director Kimberly Durham says the dolphin will be closely monitored. It is being treated for dehydration and gastric bleeding.
It's the second Risso's dolphin recovered by the program in two weeks.
An adult female was found in the Hudson River 26 miles north of Manhattan. It later died of what officials believe is starvation from plastic bags blocking her stomach.

General Motors Co., Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. led automakers reporting U.S. vehicle sales gains for July, extending a resurgence that's putting the market on course for its best year since 2007.
GM deliveries rose 16%, with all four of its brands advancing, while Honda's climbed 21% and Toyota's increased 17% to surpass Ford Motor Co. for the month. Light vehicle sales for Ford, Chrysler Group LLC and Nissan Motor Co. all gained 11%.
Low interest rates and competitive lease deals are helping boost new-car sales as Americans tend to buy vehicles based on monthly payments. Industry demand remains on pace for its best showing in six years as consumers replace the oldest cars and trucks ever on U.S. roads. That's spurring purchases of Detroit automakers' more-competitive cars and fuel-efficient pickups.
"We've got a very old fleet on the road," Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive, said today on Bloomberg Television. "There's no question a lot of what we're seeing right now is that demand coming back."
U.S. car and light truck sales climbed 14% in July to 1.32 million, according to Autodata Corp. The industry trailed the 1.33 million average estimate of nine analysts in a survey by Bloomberg News.
The annualized industry sales rate, adjusted for seasonal trends, was 15.7 million, missing the 15.8 million average of 15 estimates. The selling pace accelerated from 14.1 million a year earlier.
The industry's sales pace for the month keeps the U.S. on track for its best year since 16.1 million vehicles were sold in 2007. It's also more proof of the diverging fortunes of the American auto industry and the city of Detroit, which filed the nation's largest municipal bankruptcy in history last month.
Shares Rise
GM rose 1.7% to $36.47 at the close in New York, while Ford gained 1.8% to $17.19. Ford has surged 33% this year while GM has jumped 27%, both outpacing the 20% gain by Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The S&P 500 reached an all-time high today.
Deliveries of GM's Chevrolet Impala surged 38% to 12,915, according to an e-mailed statement. The Detroit-based automaker is winding down sales of an outgoing version as the 2014 model receives accolades from Consumer Reports. The magazine rated the Impala the best sedan on the market -- a first for a U.S. automaker in at least 20 years.
Chrysler, majority-owned by Fiat SpA, extended its streak of U.S. sales gains to 40 months. The Auburn Hills, Michigan- based company, is introducing a new Jeep Cherokee sport-utility vehicle in this year's second half to keep the momentum going.

Korean pop sensation Psy has hooked up with the animated-GIF creation app GifBoom for an official Gangnam Style GIF contest.
If that isn't the perfect distillation of what's trendy on the Internet right now, I don't know what is.
The contest is just a small thing; the grand prize money is only $5,000 for the most-liked and most creative GIF (those are the jerky photo loops that play almost anywhere online and are increasingly pervasive) showing people doing Psy's signature galloping dance moves.
GifBoom, which launched last year, is one of the more popular mobile GIF-creation apps for iPhone and Android. There are multiple millions of active GifBoom users now generating a total of one million GIFs per week, according to founder and CEO Tao Huang.
Huang told AllThingsD he connected with Psy through a friend of a friend, and that engagement around the service has skyrocketed in the past week, as people try to get their friends to vote up their contest submissions.
The top submission, from a kids' theater group, already has 10,000 likes.
GifBoom is mainly used in the U.S. by young folks between the ages of 13 and 25, Huang said. Though the interface is like Instagram, in a sense, there's more of a united GifBoom community around the Gangnam contest, and around a previous GIF contest for the Olympics.
The company is based in Seattle, has a team of three former Microsoft engineers, and is angel-funded.
Though GIFs will probably outlast Gangnam, this year's "Macarena" does seem to have some staying power. "Gangnam Style" now has nearly 360 million views on YouTube, where it is the most-liked video ever, and is holding down the No. 3 song spot on iTunes.

I'm so sick of math class! When is it over?
Lenny :(In Ubbi Dubbi to Arnold)
Yeah I know. Fractions, square roots....
Miss Applebee:Excuse me boys! Perhaps what you're saying IS more important. Why don't you share it with the rest of the class?
Arnold Arbudis:(In Ubbi Dubbi)
Well, I was just telling Lenny that...
Miss Applebee:That's enough. I don't want to hear any more of this nonsense.
Arnold Arbudis:It's not nonsense; it's Ubbi Dubbi.
Miss Applebee:And where did you learn this Ubbin Flubbi?
Arnold Arbudis:My Mom taught me and her Mom taught her, and her mom.
Miss Applebee:Okay, I get it!! Well, tonight for your punishment you will have to write a 500 word essay on the origin of uboley dubo, and it's due tomorrow!

SETTING: Scene Two: Arnold's House
Mom:Hey Arnold, how was school today?
Arnold Arbudis:Terrible. I got in deep trouble in class today for talking Ubbi Dubbi and now I have to write a 500 word essay on how it got started. Can you help me?
Mom :Well I'm not sure honey. I don't know how it came to be, my mother taught it to me, and her mother taught it to her, and her mother taught it to her and so on...
Arnold Arbudis:Mom what am I going to do, it's due tomorrow?
Mom :I'm trying to remember now, I think your great great grandmother, Ethel Arbutis, might have been one of the first speakers of Ubbi Dubbi

Goodness gracious, it's freezing in here.
Arnold Arbudis:This is wierd. I think I'll go get a sweater...
SETTING: Scene Three: Sweater Closet.
Man, it's even colder in here! I better get a sweater.
(There is a picture of Ethel Arbutis hanging on the door of the closet. The photograph starts to glow unnaturally. Arnold doesn't notice the glow and opens the door of the closet and gets sucked into the closet. He's been pulled into a time warp.)
SETTING: Scene Four: The ZOOM Set 2004
(Arnold lands into the ZOOM set where the kids are taping a dance segment. Arnold's arrival has obviously ruined the shot, and the Director steps in.)
Director:Cut, cut, extra body on the set. Everyone take five, then we'll start from the top,
(staring pointedly at Arnold )
with no more interruptions, please?
ZOOMer 1:That's a really cool costume, what show are you from?
Arnold Arbudis:I'm not from any show. Where am I???
ZOOMer 2:You're on the set of ZOOM, where did you think you were?
Arnold Arbudis:Well, I thought I was going into my closet to get a sweater, and now I'm here.
ZOOMer 3:
Arnold Arbudis:Where am I again?
ZOOMer 2:You are on the set of that fabulous PBS kids' show ZOOM. Do you think you hit your head?
Arnold Arbudis:(Rubbing his head)
I don't think I did. So, what is this, ZOOM thing?
ZOOMer 3:You've never heard of ZOOM? It's a TV show, lots of kids watch it.
Arnold Arbudis:I've never heard of it. What do you do on the show?
ZOOMer 5:We do lots of stuff, science projects, we play games, we speak Ubbi Dubbi, we..
Arnold Arbudis:You guys speak Ubbi Dubbi?
ZOOMer 2 :(In ubbi dubbi)
Of course we do.
(back in regular English )
It was invented on this show.
Arnold Arbudis:I've been trying to find out where Ubbi Dubbi got started! I got in trouble for speaking it in school. My mother learned it from her mother, who was my grandmother, and she learned it
ZOOMer 6:Wait a minute, your grandmother? Hold up, what's your name?
My name is Arnold Arbutis.
ZOOMer 1:(All the ZOOMers look at ZOOMer 1 )
that's my last name. Maybe we're related!
Arnold Arbudis:What's your first name?
ZOOMer 1:Ethel
Arnold Arbudis:Ethel!? Did you say Ethel?
(She nods)
What year were you born?
ZOOMer 1:I was born in 1995.
Arnold Arbudis:Wow.... You're not going to believe this. My name is Arnold Arbutis, I was born in 2095, and I think you've got to be my great, great grandmother.
ZOOMer 1:Come to think of it, you do have the Arbutis chin!
Arnold Arbudis:Grammy!
(They rush into each others arms for a big hug, but the minute they touch Arnold is sucked back into a time warp.)
SETTING: Scene Five: Arnold's house, the closet.
( Arnold bursts out of the closet door.)
Arnold Arbudis:Mom, mom, I found out how Ubbi Dubbi started.
(Arnold closes the closet door and runs off.)
(The framed photograph on the closet door begins to glow and the portrait of the old woman morphs back to the face of the young ZOOMer, Ethel Arbutis. She smiles, then winks, then morphs back to old woman.)

Idonije expects to play Sunday
By Vaughn McClure
Bears defensive tackle Israel Idonije, who had his left knee scoped Oct. 5, said he expects to play at Atlanta this weekend.
"I said two weeks, and the plan never changed," Idonije said Friday. "They said Cincinnati, but I told myself I was going."
Idonije practiced for the second straight day Friday and resumed his role helping set the wedge on kickoff returns. His time may be limited Sunday, although coach Lovie Smith said playing Idonije on the turf at the Georgia Dome will not be a concern.
Running back Adrian Peterson (knee) and linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer (cracked rib) are out for Sunday's game. Josh Bullocks will replace Peterson on special teams.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures rose Thursday on optimism over a deal on the U.S. budget and ahead of a high-level meeting between the Treasury chief and Senate leaders.
Dow Jones industrial futures rose 64 points to 13,021. The broader S&P futures added 7.5 points to 1,414.60. Nasdaq futures gained 17.25 points to 2,677.75.
The Commerce Department raised its economic growth estimate for July through September. Gross domestic product grew at a 2.7 percent annual rate in the third quarter, much better than the 2 percent rate estimated a month ago and more than twice the 1.3 percent rate logged in the April-June quarter.
Growth during the current quarter is likely to take a hit from the disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy, however, as well as the budget battle going on right now in Washington. Economists believe growth is slowing to a rate below 2 percent in the current October-December quarter.
There has been movement toward an agreement in order to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, a series of tax increases and spending cuts that would land simultaneously in January if no deal is reached.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is meeting with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid on Thursday to push budget negotiations ahead.
Also on Thursday, the Labor Department reported that the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 393,000 last week. It was the second straight drop after Superstorm Sandy drove applications higher earlier this month.
Perhaps putting a drag on the market, retailers posted some lackluster comparable store sales numbers.
Target, The Gap, and others fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Shares of target slid almost three percent after it reported same-store sales fell 1 percent, when most had expected growth of more than 2 percent.
It's a critical time for retailers, who log a huge chunk of yearly profits in the weeks running up to the holidays.

That is me! Heading to the field to pick asparagus! Good money if you count your tips! My dad cut off the legs of that wooden chair to make a swing for my mom to rock my brother and me. We had a nice firetruck also! I look about 2? so 1951, The dishes were my moms mainly for asparagus, one has picture of asparagus on top. Clear one is depression glass or? The rose one is Stinthal, Crooksville. One time I stepped on a small asparagus stalk. I asked my dad "will it live?" He said "Yes but it will probably be a vegetable the rest of its life!"

Rutgers coach Mike Rice said it felt good to be back.
Sort of.
Returning to the bench after a three-game, 16-day suspension for inappropriate behavior and language, Rice had his Scarlet Knights sensing something special against No. 7 Syracuse when they took a 20-18 lead on Eli Carter's runner in the lane with just over 8 minutes remaining in the first half Wednesday night.
Hope turned to despair in the blink of an eye as the Orange reeled off 21 straight points to close the half and cruised to a 78-53 victory, the 903rd in Jim Boeheim's career.
Boeheim, in his 37th season at his alma mater, passed Bob Knight for second place all-time among Division I men's coaches and trails only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who has 940 victories.
Syracuse (13-1, 1-0 Big East) has won 33 straight home games, the longest active streak in the nation, and has beaten Rutgers (9-3, 0-1) 13 straight times.
"It's a tough place to play," said Austin Johnson, who had six points and four rebounds for Rutgers. "We just have to remain confident and do what we know we're capable of out there. If we do that, we can compete with anybody. Tonight was definitely a clunker."
Carter led Rutgers with 19 points, but Myles Mack, who entered the game averaging 14.5 points, did not score and was 0 of 3 from behind the 3-point arc. He entered the game leading the Big East at 51.2 percent from 3-point range.
Brandon Triche had a season-high 25 points, hitting 5 of 7 3-point attempts, and added six assists to lead Syracuse. Michael Carter-Williams finished with 12 points and 10 assists, his eighth double-double, and C.J. Fair had 15 points and three blocks.
The Scarlet Knights had won five straight but were no match for Syracuse in Rice's first game back. He was suspended without pay and fined $50,000 on Dec. 13 for a violation of athletic department policy. Rice, 43, who returned to the team on Saturday, is in his third season at Rutgers.
"I'm very excited (to be back)," said Rice, a former guard at Fordham who went to Rutgers from Robert Morris, where he took the Colonials to the NCAA tournament twice. "I loved the last three or four days of preparation. This is a tough one to swallow because I would have liked to put on a little bit better showing. These things happen in the Big East."
Rutgers went 3-0 under associate head coach David Cox, capped by a 68-56 win over Rider on Friday.
The Scarlet Knights have defeated three top 10 teams at home under Rice, but the program has never accomplished the feat on the road. Syracuse won the game with that run over the final 6:42 of the first half to break open what had been a tight affair.
"We stopped doing the little things," Rice said. "We just lose that energy and that toughness and passion to defend. The team has to get that again. When we're making shots and things are going well, this team's pretty good. But when it gets punched a little bit and knocked back, our responses vary, and that can't happen in this league."
Carter's runner at 8:07 gave Rutgers its only lead at 20-18 and was the final basket of the period for the Scarlet Knights. They missed seven shots, committed three fouls and had two shots blocked as the Orange ran away.
"Little things kill you in this league, especially when you're playing against teams like Syracuse," Johnson said. "You can't take any possessions for granted."
Fair followed his own miss to start the Orange surge and consecutive baskets by Carter-Williams, the second a pretty underhanded scoop with reverse spin, gave Syracuse an eight-point lead.
Triche's fast-break layup after a block by Fair and a bank shot off the glass by Rakeem Christmas kept the Orange rolling, and James Southerland's transition 3 made it 35-20 with 2:22 to play.
Triche's lob to Southerland completed the run as Syracuse finished the half 14 of 29 (48.3 percent) from the field while holding Rutgers to 8 of 29 (27.6 percent) and led 39-20.
About the only mistake the Orange made was Christmas's turnover out of bounds in the final seconds as Syracuse tried to hold for the final shot.
At the outset, the game had the makings of a barnburner. Triche hit three 3-pointers in the first 6 minutes, all off assists by Carter-Williams as the Orange gained an early lead. But Carter kept pace with three 3s and another 3 from the wing by Jerome Seagears tied it at 16.
The score was tied four times before Syracuse took control.
"We were playing really well and we were down two," Boeheim said. "I was getting ready for it to be a battle right down to the end, so I'm shocked at what happened during that period of time. We were playing well, then we started playing even better."
Rutgers hosts Pittsburgh on Saturday, a chance to right all that went wrong against the Orange.
"Next game we have to come out with much more aggression, much more focus," Johnson said.

Tonight brings us a new episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, titled 'Don't Drink the Holy Water.'
Kim G. and Jacqueline may find common ground as Kim G. recounts the latest Danielle drama and insists that their friendship is over. Skeptical of her past two-faced behavior, Jacqueline is not quick to trust and even calls Kim G. out on her shady behavior.
Also this week, Dina Manzo makes a guest appearance as she's named Teresa's baby's godmother. Will Dina's brief return get her caught up in any Housewife drama? And finally, we get the big showdown between Danielle and Kim G. The new episode airs tonight at10/9c on Bravo.
In other Housewives news, Teresa Giudice appeared on The View talk show this morning and her appearance was nothing short of extremely humiliating as she was verbally bitchslapped by the show's hosts.
Teresa, who seemed very excited to be going on the show according to her twitter, likely did not expect the intense interrogation she received. Right from the start, Teresa seemed tense and nervous, even stammering over her words. She was grilled by the ladies about her financial situation, and at one point during the show, host Joy Behar was just laughing at her, right in front of her.
Teresa's appearance on the show was first preempted by the foreclosure argument she had with Danielle. The first question came from Elisabeth Hasselbeck who wanted to know how she went broke, since she is always shown spending frivolously on the show. Before Teresa could even finish stammering her words to answer Elisabeth's question, Joy chimed in, "Is your husband a slumlord?"
And before Teresa could finish answering Joy's slumlord question, guest host Bryant Gumbel brought up the accusations being made by Joe Giudice's former business partner, who told PEOPLE magazine a while back that a bad economy only played a small role in the Giudices bankruptcy filing, saying living beyond their means played a big role.
After Teresa tried to put the bankruptcy blame on a bad economy and Joe's businesses going bad, Bryant brought up a good point when he asked her if people not paying Joe rent could really be to blame for their $11 mil debt. Teresa then claimed their debt was not $11 mil and that those numbers were exaggerated by the media. Bryant asked her how much her debt was, "$10 million?" snarked Bryant to Teresa, who then replied that she did not know the exact amount.
Teresa claimed she was not aware of her huge debt because Joe kept it from her until it was absolutely necessary to tell her. I always live within my means. Always. The money was coming in from the apartment buildings so we were able to live the lifestyle that we did," insisted Teresa. "How are you living within your means if you're $11 mil in debt? I don't get that," were the next words out of Joy's mouth.
Teresa was also asked about the foreclosure rumors, to which she said her home is not in foreclosure and has never been in foreclosure. Regarding the upcoming Aug 22 auction, she confirmed her lawyer has filed an objection. She was also asked if the ring she was wearing was real, to which she admitted it was "costume jewelry."
When asked about the Dancing With The Stars rumors, Teresa said she could not comment on it. "You should go on Dancing With The Stars, and then have a yard sale!" exclaimed other guest host Mario Cantone. And yes folks, it was that kinda day for Teresa. I almost felt bad for her when it was all over. Almost.
Below is what Teresa tweeted after she finished taping The View –
"Whew! It's over! I knew The View wasn't going to be a lovefest, but you gotta take the tough questions sometimes…
Thank you all for your encouraging tweets. I'm fine. I'm a tough cookie. It takes more than an old comedian to bring me down. ;)"
In case you're wondering, the "old comedian" she's referring to is Joy Behar. The video of Teresa's interview has yet to hit the net, but it will be posted here the minute it appears online.
Thanks to our reader bailey78. Part of Teresa's interview is below –

20 crashes occurred during Monday storm
November 17, 2015
Steamboat Springs — Routt County drivers got a crash course in winter driving Monday as snow fell throughout the day.
Law enforcement officials responded to 20 crashes, but no serious injuries were reported.
"Very icy and snowy," Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said. "We had numerous crashes."
Excessive speed contributed to many of the crashes. There was a head-on crash on U.S. Highway 40 just east of Steamboat II. Elliott said a car lost control and drifted into oncoming traffic before being T-boned. He estimated the cars were going between 40 and 45 mph when they crashed.
Other crashes included a car that hit a deer and a rollover crash on Colorado Highway 134.
Numerous semis got stuck on Rabbit Ears Pass, but U.S. 40 was never shut down.

With the full onset of winter, appointment slots with local mechanics filled up by people hoping to get their snow tires put on.
On Tuesday, drivers were told they would have to wait until Dec. 11 to get their tires swapped out at Bob's Downtown Conoco and Dec. 10 at GCR Tires and Service. At Black Diamond Automotive, the soonest appointment time was Nov. 30.
The early birds can get tires put on at Yampa Valley Tire Pros & Express Lube, where Jonathan Jarriel said it is first-come, first-served. They do 40 cars per day starting at 6:30 a.m., and their daily schedule is usually filled up by 7 a.m.
"I have people lining up at 6 a.m.," Jarriel said.
More snow in forecast
Steamboat Springs meteorologist Mike Weissbluth, who runs snowalarm.com, said snow was expected to return Wednesday and Friday.
"A brief break in the wintry weather is forecast early Thursday before a similar, but stronger, wave brings another shot of snow and colder temperatures for Friday," Weissbluth wrote. "If this wave holds together as advertised, another five to 10 inches of snow should be reported on the hill (Mount Werner) by Saturday morning."
He said there was a chance of snow Sunday before another break in the weather.
"It appears likely we will get some sort of weather around Thanksgiving, though the details are obscure at this time," Weissbluth said.

When Alan returned to Stockton he began working in the Hospitality Industry which included many aspects of hotel management. He moved to San Francisco 1967 and started a career with the San Francisco Hilton Hotel Corporation.
After living and working many years in San Francisco, he again returned to Stockton and began working for Lawrence Livermore Labs in Livermore, doing various jobs in the engineering field.
Alan also enjoyed singing, and would perform solos at the First Presbyterian Church in Stockton. He very much valued the friends he made at the church during the many years he attended services there.
Alan is survived by his sister
Barbara Wallace of Stockton, his beloved cousins, Janice Lagorio of Stockton and Luanne Porter of San Jose, his longtime friend of 53 years, Robert Jenson of San Francisco, his devoted friends Barbara Spradlin, Cheri Jenson-Bailey, and Stephen Jenson of Stockton,
Michael Thomas of Los Angeles, and John Baker of Salem, Oregon.
Alan was a unique and extremely intelligent man. He was the real life personification of "Sheldon" in "The Big Bang Theory", a one off, not like anyone else you have even known. All will miss him very much.

How can i crack the appletalk network password? i am trying to figure it out but im to new to know what to do. Thanks
You can start by going here - should give you plenty of information to get you started.
\"Windows has detected that a gnat has farted in the general vicinity. You must reboot for changes to take affect. Reboot now?\"
How to crack an Appletalk password -
Of course our young friend wants this password because he forgot his, and is not asking us to help him commit a crime! So the answer is easy...
Using OS X, Apple talk becomes un-needed as a network tool except between Apple Talk only printers... hence no need for Apple Talk passwords....

Replicants are like any technology, if there not a hazard, its not my problem....
