If the weather doesn't manage to keep everybody inside, there is one movie that could draw them to the box office this weekend. Out of the Furnace starring Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Zoe Saldana and Woody Harrelson seems to be the most likely flick to lead the latest pack of newcomers.
The movie tells the story of Russell Baze (Bale), a bare-knuckle boxer and veteran returning from Iraq. He spends his time protecting his brother (Affleck) and devoted to his girlfriend (Saldana).
The story in this movie isn't particularly original. The performances are strong, but they are not enough to save the movie from being too predictable, according to critic Melissa Starker.
"Given the setting and the traumas of war experienced by a main character, Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter might also come to mind," Starker said. "Unfortunately, (director and co-writer Scott) Cooper's not-so-taut pacing creates too many opportunities for thoughts to drift toward such connections."

Frozen isn't your typical princess tale. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes the story of Anna, a fearless young princess. She journeys through the frosty wilderness in order to find her sister, Queen Elsa, who has trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
Kids will enjoy watching the optimistic and lively Anna make her journey with the awkward mountain man Kristoff and the hilarious snowman Olaf. Check out what actress Kristen Bell, who voices Anna, had to say about Frozen, which arrived in theaters in late November.
The Blue Jackets face the next 12-15 games with Curtis McElhinney as their No. 1 goaltender, and they are not the least bit concerned about this -- at least outwardly.
While many around the NHL, and perhaps a few conditioned fans in Columbus, see Sergei Bobrovsky's groin strain as the death knell to a team that has lived on choppy waters, the Blue Jackets have expressed nothing but full confidence in McElhinney, a 30-year-old journeyman who has been with the organization since the start of last season.
"I'm not worried about (our season) going the other way," Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said. "Your team needs to respond under this circumstance. It doesn't really matter who's playing. The LA Kings are doing it right now (with Ben Scrivens). (Jonathan) Quick has been out for a while. Other teams have done it. Detroit played without Jimmy Howard for a while.
"I'm not concerned. I think you guys (media) are the ones thinking about it; I'm not worried about, not concerned about it."
The players echoed these sentiments. ...
Maryland tops Buckeyes
Want to catch a seasonal favorite flick outside of your living room? Look no further:
Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will miss four to five weeks, according to GM Jarmo Kekalainen, after an MRI today revealed he suffered a strained groin in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.
It's a staggering blow for the Blue Jackets, who have been treading water for weeks in the Metropolitan Division. Bobrovsky, who won the Vezina Trophy last season, has been the backbone of the club since the mid-point of last season, when coach Todd Richards deemed him the No. 1 goaltender over Steve Mason.
Curtis McElhinney will start Friday against the Minnesota Wild in Nationwide Arena and until further notice. The Blue Jackets recalled Mike McKenna from AHL Springfield earlier today to serve as McElhinney's back-up.
If Bobrovsky misses four weeks, he'll miss 12 games and return on Jan. 2. If he misses five weeks, he'll be out for 15 games with a return on Jan. 10.
It's the latest injury blow for the Blue Jackets, who have suffered 105 man-games lost through Tuesday's game. Currently, right wings Marian Gaborik, Nathan Horton and Jared Boll, center Derek MacKenzie and, now, Bobrovsky are on the shelf.
There's a chance MacKenzie could return Friday vs. the Wild. Boll could return next week.

Huard: 'Would feel better' if QB Lindley started
The Cardinals have lost their last eight games while the Seahawks have won three of their last four.
After pulling him two weeks ago for rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley, head coach Ken Whisenhunt has named John Skelton his starting quarterback once again.
All the while, the Seahawks have been thriving with rookie sensation Russell Wilson under center.
So on paper, you would think the Seahawks have this in the bag, right?
Brock Huard, co-host of the Brock and Salk Show on 710 ESPN Seattle and former NFL quarterback, doesn't think that's the case, and the reason is Skelton.
"I don't like the fact as a Seahawk rooting desperately for the Seahawks on Sunday to keep this thing going. I don't like the fact that Skelton is getting another lease on life," Huard said on Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo.
Huard mentioned that Skelton has already started and won two games against the Seahawks in his career and feels that Sunday's game might be the quarterback's last chance to establish himself.
"If you are in his shoes, you have got to feel like, and his significant other and his agent and his family have got to be making sure he knows what an opportunity he has," Huard said. "You don't know if you are ever going to get one of these again if you're John Skelton."
Huard said that he "would feel better if it was Lindley quarterbacking" and that he was "surprised" that the Cardinals ever started him.
"To me, from a far in studying him collegiately and everything else, he was a nice player in college but he had a long ways to go before he started," Huard said. "I thought that was a move of desperation by [Ken] Whisenhunt."

Runner's Reviews
The race is held in a beautiful park in Oklahoma City and is put on by Chisholm Deupree among other co-race directors. They did an amazing job. It was extremely well organized. I really can not say enough good things about this race. If you are into timed events like this, you must put this one on your calendar. The course was good (some flat, some gentle rollers), the aid was great (best food I've ever had at a race), and the volunteers were both experienced and wonderful. They even had a monitor that showed your progress during the race. Every time you crossed the timing mat, you knew exactly how fast your pace was for the previous lap and how many miles you had accumulated. -Mike Krejci
Who would have known that Oklahoma City had the perfect trail course for a 6 hour run? In just one loop that was a little over 2 miles you had a chance to experience everything a trail run has to offer except altitude! Those capable of dodging roots and rocks then had to quickly descend and ascend creeks and hollows to keep the pace. Jeremy Duncan from Colorado took out fast from the start and led the "Fun Run" from start to finish. Christine Tokarz from Texas took the steady approach and eventually took a solid 2nd place finish proving that she knew how to handle not only the Women's field but most of the men's as well! I was happy with a 3rd place finish and look forward to breaking 40 miles next year at this race that is sure to become a classic both on and off the road. -Russell Allison
The 24thehardway race in Ok City presented a perfect setting for me to break into the world of 6 hour racing. There is no way I would have hit my goal pace without the extreme generosity of the volunteers, the top notch organization of race logistics, and the stellar location. I would highly recommend either the road or the trail to any fellow ultrarunner! -Christine Tokarz
This was my first ultra, and if they were all done this way, I'd probably do 2-3 a year. Although the .97 mile loop would normally seem kind of monotonous, you knew what was coming and you got to visit with others as they were putting in their time. I've never had a chance to visit w/ serious Ultra folks (24 hr finishers/100mile veterans, etc) so it was nice to get to talk with them some on some of the loops. The one aid station was stocked with just about everything you could want (well except for grape gatorade). Plenty of wildlife (birds, squirrels, deer, even a couple of snakes, and lots of grasshoppers), scenic course away from the hustle and bustle, plenty of portojohns, unique finish awards, TWO shirts, all in all a very well done race. -Tim Taft
I traveled to OKC hoping for a great new addition to the Southwest's 24-hour arsenal. RD Chisholm Deupree boasted a scenic, well paved 1mile loop with gentle rollers. 24 The Hard Way delivered. Although I arrived with mixed expectations for myself, I had one goal: stick to the plan. Amidst much excitement, and many runners pushing it early, I took the tortoise approach. I power-walked the three perfectly spaced uphill sections and ran the remainder of the course from hour one. To my dismay, the blistering pace of the front runners continued into the afternoon. Fighting the competitive urge, my walk, run strategy continued into the night. After midnight, the field began to gradually decrease. The night belonged to the patient and steady, and the magic of camaraderie began to build. Old and new friends shared stride, company, support, and forward motion. By sunup, the atmosphere shifted and runners began to tap the tank to chase their goals. The support of the volunteers and spectators built excitement into the final minutes. In the end, the rabbit prevailed, but for the turtles that met or exceeded their goals, the feeling was no less sweet – Jeff Snyder

FairTweets.com Social Media Campaign Communicates Fair Trade Value to the Masses
BURLINGTON, VT.- May 4, 2011 How can an ice cream maker use social media to help provide farmers a fair income across the globe? Ben & Jerry's, the first ice cream company to use Fair Trade certified ingredients, is taking on the challenge in an innovative manner. The Fair Tweets program is a simple and easy interface for Twitter followers to donate their unused social media space to support Fair Trade messaging.
"We've heard how easy it has been for our fans to participate and that they better understand how their purchases help make it possible to support these farmers throughout the world"
It's no surprise as Ben & Jerry's was the first composite, major consumer goods product to commit to going through every single item in their ingredient deck to change all they could to Fair Trade. So the natural next step was how to share the values of Fair Trade with a larger audience. The progressive ice cream company has created a program that allows any user of Twitter to easily plug into. Unused characters in each Tweet are utilized to share a message about how Fair Trade benefits farmers across the globe. Cofounder Jerry Greenfield has posed: "Who wants to make a profit by exploiting somebody else?" It is in that spirit that the company is acting to lead the way in showing how the purchase of Fair Trade certified goods makes a difference. The model sets a fair wage for farmers, supports farms with access to credit, encourages community development, and promotes a holistic way of farming for farm laborers, the environment and the land necessary to their trade.
On May 3rd, Ben & Jerry's launched a "Fair Tweets" campaign to rally awareness of Fair Trade. Simply by logging on to Fair Tweets (fairtweets.com), Twitter users have been able to plug in automatic messages about Fair Trade to the tweets they're already sending. These added messages promote the upcoming World Fair Trade Day (May 14) and Fair Trade issues in general.
Even though Tweets can be up to 140 characters long, most tweets are actually much shorter, using only 40 characters on average. Fair Tweets recycles the "unused" characters in those tweets, and puts them to good use, committing them to Fair Trade awareness.
"Just like putting together good combinations for our flavors, our goal was to combine a popular social media tool with our effort to educate about Fair Trade," said Senior Global Marketing Manager, Noelle Pirnie. "We've heard how easy it has been for our fans to participate and that they better understand how their purchases help make it possible to support these farmers throughout the world," Pirnie added.
So make every Tweet count – just like Fair Trade products purchases – by sharing this message with your Twitter followers. Through the effort, Ben & Jerry's will increase consumer understanding of the value of their own purchase decisions and help farmers across the globe lick some of their daily struggles.
To participate in Fair Tweets, log on to FairTweets.com. To learn more about Ben & Jerry's support of Fair Trade, go towww.benjerry.com.

What It Does: This two-way radio-frequency system, which is available in two formats, Q4 RF and Q5 RF, is designed to work well in groups of all sizes.
Why It's Different: Keypad uses an LCD screen, and users can request help by using the keypad. Presenters in multiple rooms can use systems next to each other without conflict. Personalization also is available, and the system is designed for game play.
Cost: Qwizdom is priced per device, and the hardware comes with the software. Qwizdom CEO Darin Beamish estimates that the cost of 30 devices would be about $4,000.

It was during last month's board meeting Sept. 29 that Ira Mae Bruce, board member of the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Council, announced several reappointments to the board.
Recommended for reappointment were Kati Curle, Dorothy Slye and Vernon Compton.
There was no agenda at the meeting, which carried on more like a party for the TDC's new advertising agent, MDi Group. Bruce's announcement followed with a unanimous approval.

- " The worst experience of my life with a hotel. They lost my booking, the lost the booking of the people next to us in line. They lost the booking for three more groups in my party. My friends and I all stayed at that hotel. In all my group of friends has 6 different booking, all done separately and they lost four of them. In addition the only other party I saw trying to get their rooms there had the same problem and I know they didn't book through hostels.com. I wouldn't trust them EVER!!!!!!!!!! "
- 20 May 2012 Jacob
- " we had so many problems with this hostel. we stayed there fore 4 nights. The staff are not helpful at all, even if they made the mistake. They do not understand any english, so if you complain, they just look at you, instead of helping you. My bedlamp did not work at i told them every day, and they said they would fix it, but they never did. We booked a tour to the great wall at the hostel, and the guide tried to cheat us the hole day. Expect very poor standard if you book this hostel. "
- 10 Sep 2011 Anonymous
- " Pros: Location (close to subway st.), travel agency/trip arrangements, internet access. Cons:Cheapest single rooms comes without a window. Door is non isolating so you can pretty much hear everything what's going on in the hallway..and local cleaning ladies are quite loud so I woke up every morning around 8 when they started cleaning. No shower curtain so you need to use one towel to dry bathroom floor if you wish to use toilet after shower. basically OK for a few nights staying but I wouldn't stay "

Lake Erie Monsters - 1 Center Ice - Cleveland, OH - 44115-4001 - (216) 420-0000 - Family of Companies |
Mercier Starts New Year with Big WinTweetThe victory was also the first of the season for the Monsters against North Division-leading Hamilton. The first two times the teams met, in a back-to-back at Quicken Loans Arena over Thanksgiving weekend, the Bulldogs shut out the Monsters in both games. Saturday was the first of four games between the teams in Hamilton over the course of the next 11 days. Mercier scored the first Lake Erie goal of 2010 less than five minutes into the game. His goal at 4:43 of the first period was the first of his professional career. Marty Sertich and Brian Willsie assisted on the score. With the helper, Willsie has registered a point in four consecutive games (3G, 3A). The Monsters maintained their 1-0 lead for two full periods, as neither team would score through the remainder of the first or second periods. Hamilton outshot the visiting Monsters, 23-12, over the course of the first 40 minutes. Matt Ford doubled the Lake Erie lead with his goal at the 5:40 mark of the third period. Patrick Bordeleau and Cedric McNicoll were credited with the assists. While it looked as if Monsters goalie Tyler Weiman might pick up his third shutout of the season, J.T. Wyman put an end to that with his goal with a little more than two minutes to go in the game. The goal at 17:49 was assisted by P.K. Subban. With the Bulldogs down by only one, Mercier struck again, pushing the Monsters lead back up to two with his empty-netter at 19:14. Sertich again assisted on Mercier's goal, his second multi-point game of the season. Sertich has recorded points in the last three straight games (1G, 4A). Hamilton would not go quietly into the night, however, and cut the Lake Erie advantage back to one with Ben Maxwell's goal with 21 seconds to play in regulation. Carl Mathieu and Tom Pyatt recorded the assists. However, the Monsters were able to hold off the Bulldogs and finished with the 3-2 win to start 2010. Weiman ended the night with 31 saves on 33 shots. Bulldogs netminder Cedric Desjardins had 14 saves on 16 shots faced.

Amped 2
warcraft battle chest. you get warcraft 3 the reign of fury, warcraft 3 expansion the frozen throne, warcraft 3 players guide, and warcraft 3 expansion players guide
Ok. i have 50 dollars, and i am confused. So should i get.....
City of Heroes comes out soon. That game is looking great. But out of those I prefer Warcraft 3.
E-mpired out - PEACE!
Neither are worth 50 dollars. Save it for a better game, or even something else entirely.
Well, amped2 is 30, and warcraft battle chest is 40
DEFINITLY get WC its a great game. If you can play online WC will last you hours and hours. I have had mine since August and still play it everynight.

^lol, good one dork.
Anyway, i got warcraft. its simply awesome. I just cant stop playing.
I konw someone who is in the City of Heroes beta. Sounds like its coming together really nicely.
its reign of CHAOS...(unless u live some where other than the us and they changed the name)... i would go with warcraft...but i warn u ... ut 2k4 is much better
Out of those, I'd go for Warcraft. Amped will come down in price real quick.
amped 2 is fucking awesome, plus its got the single best custom sountrack option. you can skip tracks with the black button and backtrack thru tracks by holding down the black button, the white is for adding them to your favorites.

SMS: Hazelnut Raspberry Layer Cake
After taking a break for the holidays, Sweet Melissa Sundays is back this week! If you're a new reader, Sweet Melissa Sundays is a group that is baking its way through The Sweet Melissa Baking Book; we only have 16 recipes remaining so we're nearing the end. We'll be posting every other Sunday from here on out and this week our recipe was chosen by Candy of Candy Girl: hazelnut raspberry layer cake.
I know it's January, which means lots of people have sworn off rich desserts like this cake, but I was pretty excited for it because I recently acquired 6" cake pans, which meant I could halve the recipe and still make a layer cake instead of resorting to cupcakes to scale back. Don't get me wrong, I love cupcakes but it's nice to have options. This cake is a variation on one we've made before for the group - toasted hazelnuts are ground with sugar to make hazelnut flour, which is combined with nutty browned butter (as well as vanilla, all-purpose flour, and baking powder) to form a thick batter. The batter is lightened by folding in egg whites that have been whipped with sugar to create a meringue. As they bake, the cakes puff quite a bit and then they shrink as they cool. Mine sunk just slightly in the center, but it was nothing a little frosting couldn't fix.
Speaking of the frosting, the recipe was for an Italian meringue buttercream flavored with raspberries and raspberry liqueur. Italian meringue buttercream is made by pouring a sugar syrup that's been heated to 240 F into a mixer bowl containing a meringue (egg whites and sugar whipped to stiff peaks) and beating. Then, butter (and lots of it!) is added and the frosting is beaten until it comes together. I was wary about adding whole raspberries that had been soaked in raspberry liqueur to the frosting, as the book directed. I wanted a silky, smooth frosting, so instead, I made a simple raspberry puree (by heating raspberries on the stove top with just a tiny amount of water until they broke down, and then straining to remove the seeds and other solids). I added the puree little by little until I achieved the color and taste I wanted - probably a few tablespoons total for my half frosting recipe. The filling between the layers of the cake was simply seedless raspberry preserves.
After assembling the cake, I piped a few swirls on top and added fresh raspberries for garnish. I wasn't able to smooth the frosting on the sides of the cake as well as I'd have liked, but otherwise, I thought it turned out well. The cake portion was delicious - nutty from the hazelnut flour and browned butter, and very moist. I don't recall previously having tried the hazelnut/raspberry combo, but it worked for me. The frosting was just ok; I know it's an odd complaint for a buttercream, but this one was too buttery. I've made other Swiss meringue buttercreams I liked and would use one of those in the future for this cake. Many thanks to Candy for hosting this week! You can find the recipe for the cake on her blog or on pages 119-121 of The Sweet Melissa Baking Book.
{Two quick final notes: First, I just wanted to remind you one last time (I promise) that I'm hosting a giveaway and today is your last chance to enter to win a copy of Eric Ripert's new book, Avec Eric. You can find the details here :) Second, yesterday I mentioned that I received a Speedlite for Christmas. Subsequently, several readers asked for more information about it. So, here's a link to a tutorial from White on Rice that has lots of great information and this is what my Speedlite looks like.}

The cake looks fantastic! I haven't made mine yet and I found the idea of putting whole raspberries in the frosting really off-putting. There is a raspberry frosting recipe in Rose's Heavenly Cakes I like that calls for adding in seedless raspberry jam, so I think that's what I'll do instead.
Thanks for the link on the Speedlite tutorial. I have had mine since last Christmas and never really got around to learning how to use it. - January 9, 2011 at 11:05 AM

I agree with your take on the frosting... it was a little too much butter for me. The cake , however, was great. I'm a big fan of hazelnut and this cake was moist and delicious. It pairs really well with the raspberry filling. Thanks for sharing the cake with us!

I'm not sure if this link will work, but here is the edit, which appears to have remained on Wikipedia for some 13 hours or so.
This text was added:
The failure of the expedition may have been due to the fact that the searchers were on foot. A solo searcher moving quietly in a kayak obtained video of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the Pearl in February 2006 [http://www.fishcrow.com/winter06.html].It looks like that edit was done via a first-time Wikipedia contribution from IP address 18.104.22.168; a reverse DNS lookup on that address resolves to ""vireo.nrl.navy.mil".

Some of you may remember that I got the plans for a Haven 12 1/2 last year. I'm planning to start construction this winter.
My original idea was to use carvel construction, cedar on steam-bent oak. But now I'm having second thoughts. I'm starting to lean toward cold-molded. I already have one carvel planked boat, so I still have a chance to get into traditional wooden boat heaven. But the idea of a cold-molded daysailer is appealing to me because of the strength and lightness of the hull, fewer frames, which means easier painting, etc., and the ability to trailer the boat without having to be concerned with the damage that the weting and drying cycles would cause to a carvel hull.
Do any of you want to try to persuade me one way or the other?
