Synopsis for "The Patchwork Man"
Swamp Thing scales the cliffs leading to the ancient castle of his late nemesis, Anton Arcane. Upon reaching its peak, Swampy begins exploring Anton's laboratory, but a flagstone floor gives way beneath him threatening to drop him into some unknown abyss. A zombie-like Patchwork Man is present in the lab and tries to pull the Swamp Thing to safety. But he cannot keep his grip and Swampy falls down to the bottom of a vast cavern. The Patchwork Man then sets to destroying the lab causing the entire castle to explode.
Down in the nearby Balkan village, Interpol agent Matt Cable continues searching for the Swamp Thing. He blames him for the deaths of Alec and Linda Holland and wants revenge. He meets a medic at a nearby clinic named Abigail. Abigail just happens to be the niece of the mad scientist Anton Arcane. Matt and Abigail see the explosion of the castle and begin making their way towards the bridge that leads to the castle's cliff-side.
The Patchwork Man appears and Abigail faints from fright. He gingerly picks her up and begins taking her across the bridge. Swamp Thing appears (having climbed through the wreckage of the castle) and begins fighting the Patchwork Man. Abigail is about to fall from the bridge, but the Patchwork Man rescues her. As she looks into his eyes, she realizes that it is her father, Gregori Arcane – another sad experiment of her demented uncle.
Matt catches up with Abigail and the two take a sea-plane away from the Balkan village.

What is Nerve Impingement?
Nerve impingement is also known as a pinched nerve. It is term used for pain that results from a nerve that is being compressed from a surrounding structure (i.e. muscle, vertebrae, bone). It happens to nerves that control muscle movements or relay sensations to the brain.
What are the symptoms? The initial symptoms of nerve impingement may be tingling, numbness, burning sensation or shooting pains down the buttocks and legs or in the neck, shoulders, arms and fingers.
What are my treatment options?
Conventional approaches:These include anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with these types of medications. They can lead to nausea, diarrhea and extreme digestive upset. Another issue with choosing this method of treatment is that since medications only mask the pain (not cure it) and eliminate the painful message from the brain, people are more prone to overuse their affected muscles or areas of pain. Eventually this leads to further injury and thus further progression of the painful process.
Natural alternative or complimentary options include natural supplements and therapies such as laser therapy with a chiropractor, rehabilitation exercises, work modifications, IMS (intramuscular stimulation) and medical acupuncture with electro-stimulation with a naturopath or specially licensed chiroprator, massage therapy, active release therapy and/or hydrotherapy techniques.
The goal of these therapies are to correct the issue that caused the impingment and nerve pain to happen in the first place.

Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals Live Blog: Play-by-Play and Analysis
Week 2 of the NFL season is upon us and my first thought about this game is that both teams are looking to bounce back. Cleveland was absolutely awful against Philadelphia, and Cincinnati was even worse against their division foes, the Baltimore Ravens.
However, today is a new day for both teams and someone is going to get back to .500. The big key to this game is going to be how well Brandon Weeden can perform against what is now a questionable Cincinnati defense. Last week, he was going up a couple of top-notch corners, but that's not the case against Cincinnati.
In addition, Andy Dalton showed a tendency to overthrow his receivers last week, which became a more common theme in the last stretch of last season. While I think this is a habit he will eventually break, he can't do that today against a Cleveland defense that is intensely under rated, even without Joe Haden.
We're a mere two and a half hours from kickoff, so get your wings and pizza ready for a good one!
Cincinnati 34, Cleveland 27 Final
The first battle of Ohio is in the books, with this round going to the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 34-27. This game had a surprisingly good offensive aspect—both teams struggled in that area last week, but Andy Dalton and Brandon Weeden came out firing this week.
Next week, Cincinnati will be traveling to Washington D.C. to visit RG3 and the Redskins, while the Browns will be welcoming Buffalo to town.
Player of the Game: Andy Dalton. He threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, bouncing back from a rather so-so performance in Week 1. Signs are looking up in the Queen City, as they move to 1-1 on the 2012 season.
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 34, Cleveland 27 0:20 Q4
Cleveland is in desperation mode, but they are within striking distance. Phil Dawson nails the chip shot to give Cleveland one last shred of hope.
Lots of positives to take away from this game for both teams. Both quarterbacks performed very well, as did both running backs.
As of this moment, Bengals' defensive end Jamal Anderson is down, a scary moment for Mike Zimmer's defense. Carlos Dunlap is hurt already and linebacker Thomas Howard is already lost for the season.
Live Score Update: Cincinati 34, Cleveland 24 2:09 Q4
Big time field goal by Mike Nugent to make this a two-possession ball game for the Browns.
Perhaps the biggest play of this game, Gresham's catch should be one of the top ten plays tomorrow on Sportscenter.
Excellent concentration for Jermaine Gresham to make that catch—play is under review, but regardless of the outcome, he had a defender all over his back and juggled the ball.
Based on initial replays, it looks like a catch, and what a big one it can prove to be.
Andy Dalton is silently having one of the better games in the league this week—currently sitting on 280 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 31, Cleveland 24 7:11 Q4
And again—across the middle, no Bengals' defenders anywhere near the receiver. Greg Little bounced right off Nate Clements and caught the touchdown, pretty much uncontested.
Weeden may surpass 300 yards today.
Good bounce back game for Brandon Weeden—17/26 for 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Got to tip your hat to the rookie quarterback.
Really good game for the rookie, Trent Richardson. He's gathered over 100 yards of rushing with two touchdowns. He's been the one to figure out the Cincinnati defense throughout the game.
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 31, Cleveland 17 10:44 Q4
God in Heaven! Is Andrew Hawkins one of the most underrated guys in the league or what?
Took the pass and juked out the entire Browns' defense en route to a stellar 50-yard touchdown reception. Big kudos to Brian Leonard for the blocking efforts.
What a show by Hawkins on that one.
Just when you think Cincinnati is going to get going and put this one to rest, Frostee Rucker comes in and makes Andy Dalton suffer. Cleveland will not go away.
Other NFL Action
I'm finding it hysterical that the over-rated Chiefs are getting pummeled
Arizona over New England? The Pats will survive.
I guess Sean Payton was more important than we anticipated.
Greg Schiano for Coach of the Year?
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 24, Cleveland 17 0:07 Q3
Cleveland made a good decision in trading up to get Trent Richardson. The stats will say "23-yard touchdown reception" but he broke FOUR tackles inside the ten yard-line. And this is a Bengal defense that knows how to tackle.
Good day for the rookie out of Alabama—I wish he was on my fantasy team.
Another bad throw by Dalton leads to a pretty darn good interception by D'Qwell Jackson. Overall, a good day for Dalton, but this tendency needs to stop soon.
As evenly matched as these two teams were in the first half, it's kind of weird to watch the Browns suddenly be so out-manned. All of a sudden, the receivers look over matched and the defensive line is closing in on Weeden faster and faster with every drive.
Bengals take over with 4:05 left in the third quarter.
Rey Maualuga once again falls down on his assignment covering the middle of the field. He watched that pass go right into Alex Smith's hands—guy cannot defend against the pass.
Good play by Nate Clements to stop Trent Richardson in the open field.
Maybe he'll start being as effective as he was during the Bush administration.
The false start penalty on Binns proved to be costly for Cincinnati—Dalton was sacked and then there was no conversion on third down. Clint Boling looked awful on those two plays, unable to block in any sort of effective manner.
It seems that Marvin Lewis and Jay Gruden have learned where Andy Dalton's strengths are—short throws, roughly five yards from the line of scrimmage. The receivers are good for yards after the catch, so those short plays have been working all day.
Cleveland offense just couldn't get it going on this drive. Weeden had no chance, particularly on third down when he was being chased by Jamaal Anderson.
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 24, Cleveland 10 11:58 Q3
Finally, Dalton throws a downfield ball on the money! From 44-yards out, Brandon Tate takes the toss from Dalton to the house, straight up burning Eric Hagg down the right sideline. It's Tate's first touchdown as a Bengal.
Buster Skrine, who's filling in for Joe Haden, has had a really rough day. No matter who he's covering, whether it's Binns, Tate or Green, he can't seem to interrupt the pass.
Dalton was just sacked by Scott Fujita as his offensive line watched. Something seems a little off about that.
Cleveland has 208 total yards, while Cincy has 143. It concerns me that the Bengals can't outdo a young, inexperienced team like the Cleveland Browns.
Live Score Update: Cincinnati 17, Cleveland 10 Halftime
Overall, a decent half of football for both teams. Brandon Weeden looks much better this week, while Andy Dalton also has decent stats. The difference has been the Pacman Jones' punt return.
So far, we've been pretty evenly matched. Andy Dalton needs to stop over-throwing his receivers down the field—if he can start making better throws, you'll see the Bengals pull away.

Shop hard, eat harder!
3:44pm Thursday 12th July 2012 in Eating Out Reviews
It was once a key part of the town's industrial foundations, now it plays a key part in feeding the town's shoppers.
STEPHEN WEBB visited Bottelino's in the old Pattern Store
The Pattern Store,
Penzance Drove
Swindon SN2 2BA
Tel: 01793 887710
Open: Mon-Sat noon to 2.30pm and 5.30pm to 11pm; Sun noon to 9pm
SHOPPING and eating out go together like Marks and Spencer. Or Frankie and Benny.
So if you're feeling famished after traipsing around Swindon's designer outlet shopping centre, a restaurant across the road will give you the sustenance you require.
Like the designer outlet, Bottelino's is located in a part of the former railway works – the pattern store to be precise – and while the exterior looks little different from the days when it was part of Swindon's industrial heyday, the interior has been turned into a bright and airy Italian restaurant.
The obvious choice at an Italian restaurant to silence rumbling tummies after a retail runaround would be a hearty helping of pasta, or a large, tasty pizza.
The pizza menu is extensive – I've had the quattro formaggi on a previous visit and it's delicious – and it's nice to see there are variations on familiar recipes. The pasta menu is equally tempting.
But on this occasion, visiting after a hard day's work rather than a hard day's shopping, we opted for something different.
There is a great selection of breads and antipasti and I decided to have the antipasto misto (£9.95), a traditional mix of Italian hors d'oeuvres. It's a cliche to say a starter is good enough and big enough to have as a main course, but this one was. The beautifully presented dish included meats and cheeses, anchovies, tuna, a small pile of crunchy, fresh salad, crackers and a warm roll. It's a starter... but I didn't know where to start.
For £5 you can have a bigger helping to share, but not this time – my wife loves her calamari and with two types on offer, she was in heaven. She chose the calamari fritti (£6.95) – squid coated in seasoned flour and deep fried – and enjoyed it. The coating was crisp and tasty, and she liked the generous salad garnish.
I had the sirloin steak (£15.95) for my main course, and chose to have the Bottelino sauce with it, for £2.75 extra. It was a good cut of meat, cooked just right, and the rich sauce, with cream, mushrooms and brandy, complemented it perfectly.
I had some nicely cooked chips with my steak, and there was yet more of that salad.
Across the table, pollo genovese (£13.95) was chosen. This was a chicken breast in a cream, spinach and pesto sauce. The chicken had a nice texture and the sauce was "flavoursome but not overpowering, and plenty of it".
It was accompanied by fresh veg – carrot batons, cauliflower cheese, green beans and sauteed new potatoes.
There was a tempting array of puds on the dessert menu, but this being an Italian restaurant, we both fancied some ice cream. We had a couple of scoops (£2.50) each; pistachio and vanilla for me, pistachio and Irish coffee for my wife. It was delicious.
The bill, at just under £70 with drinks, could have made this an expensive shopping trip, but there is something at Bottelino's to suit all budgets as well as tastes, and it's worth checking out some of their special offers – a lunchtime/early evening any pasta or any pizza for £5.95 is worth checking out.
And if you do combine a visit with a shopping trip, make sure you do the shopping first – Bottelino's portions are generous.

For immediate release
The Joint Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership at UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly will present former California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin at three free public forums on Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11. Eastin, the first woman elected State Superintendent (she served from 1995-2003), will present the talk "Education in the 21st Century: Courage, Vision, and Heart" at: a (provide your own) Brown Bag Lunch on Thursday, April 10 at 11:30 am in Phelps 1172 on the UC Santa Barbara campus; on Thursday, April 10 at 4 pm at the Performing Arts Center, Pacifica High School, 600 East Gonzalez Road in Oxnard; and on Friday, April 11 at 4 pm in Adult School Multipurpose Room (J2), San Luis Coastal Unified School District, 1500 Lizzie Street in San Luis Obispo.
Delaine Eastin is currently Distinguished Visiting Professor and Education Special Assistant to the President at Mills College. As State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Eastin made class size reduction her top priority. Her advocacy persuaded then Governor Pete Wilson and the legislature to invest $2.5 billion in cutting class sizes. Today, K-3 class sizes have been cut from 30 to 20 students in over 86,000 classrooms in 98% of all school districts.
In response to declining student performance, Eastin led the adoption of high statewide academic standards in reading and math. High standards in science and social studies are currently being adopted. Eastin also implemented a new statewide test and established a new system to increase the accountability of every school and district in the state. In the fall of 1995, Superintendent Eastin launched the "Challenge Initiative," a groundbreaking reform effort to raise standards and accountability. Fifty-six school districts, covering nearly 500,000 students, embraced the Challenge and agreed to set high standards for every subject area in all grade levels.
Those with questions or hoping to RSVP for any of the three events should contact Dr. Patrick Faverty, Director of the Joint Doctoral Program, at email@example.com or 805-893-3301.
[Delaine Eastin is available for interviews; contact George Yatchisin at 805 893 5789]

We were in grandparent heaven last week visiting Florida. Our son, Isaac, and his wife, Kara, live there with their three little ones.
Baby Oliver was baptized on Easter so we had a very special day. Our older son, Jake, and his wife, Becky, were the godparents; they flew in from Minnesota so we had a few wonderful days together in the Florida sunshine.
One of my favorite things to do is bake or cook with a grandchild; usually just one at a time to preserve what sanity I have left. Last Christmas I gave each of our older grandkids children's cookbooks. Clare (5) and Sophia (almost 7) read through their cookbooks with me when we arrived in Florida and they choose recipes for us to try on this visit. These easy chicken fingers are from the "Dora the Explorer Cookbook" which includes many healthy options for kids that adults will enjoy as well. My unsophisticated taste buds are very impressed with this cookbook.
• The chips we used didn't have as much flavor as we would have liked. I think a chip like Fritos would be a better option.
• If you need gluten free, there are many corn chip options that will be easy to use for this.
• You could partially make this ahead by letting the chicken soak all day in the egg mixture and then rolling in crumbs and when you're ready to bake them.
• Instead of "chicken pieces" pressed into the shape of fingers or nuggets, you can use real chicken!
1-2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into fingers or nuggets
1 egg
½ cup fat free sour cream
1 tsp salt
4-6 cups tortilla chips, crushed into large crumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray.
Have an adult cut the chicken into fingers – or nuggets.
Whisk an egg with a fork and add the sour cream and salt.
Soak the chicken in the egg mixture for a few minutes. (Or hours.)
Put the tortilla chips or Fritos in a large baggie and crush with a rolling pin.
Pour crumbs onto a large plate or shallow bowl.
Roll the chicken pieces in the crumbs one at a time and place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake 10 minutes and turn chicken over.
Bake another 5 – 10 minutes until done. Chicken should not be pink inside when done.
Chicken fingers or chicken nuggets are so easy and can be made quickly with just a few healthy ingredients. Your kids will be thrilled to help you make these and you won't feel guilty serving them for dinner.

Christy Lawrenson said they left the envelope of money, which was put aside to help pay off her car, on the counter of her St. Augustine home about two weeks ago and her husband returned home on his lunch break to find pieces of $100 bills scattered across the floor, WKMG-TV, Orlando, reported Monday.
Lawrenson said her husband poured a peroxide mixture down the throat of Tuity, their Labrador retriever-chow-bulldog mix, and the canine soon threw up the rest of the money pieces.
"My mother-in-law and our best friend were here and we were speechless. But they just laughed the whole evening and they helped us retrieve $900," she said.
Lawrenson said the final $100 bill was missing too many serial numbers to replace, so they mailed it to the U.S. Department of Treasury with a letter of explanation and are hoping it will eventually be replaced.
"I didn't really see that one coming and I guarantee we'll keep money away from now on," Lawrenson said.

Phare Conference 2011: a recap
Net terug van de eerste editie van de Phare Conference in Gent. 1 woord: schitterend!
De website van Phare was nogal schaars met informatie, dus het was een beetje afwachten wat het zou worden. Er waren al enkele grote namen die kwamen spreken, dus dat het in orde zou zijn, was wel te…
First thing i googled after the Phare Conference yesterday was this. The Iraq War Wikihistoriography by James Bridle.
Note: indeed, you've read it well, i googled this when i got home, not during the talk. James Bridles' performance was too interesting to interupt. And sadly enough i can't pause and rewind a live talk yet."The Iraq War: A History of Wikipedia Changelogs" is a twelve-volume set of all changes to the Wikipedia article on the Iraq War.
The twelve volumes cover a five year period from December 2004 to November 2009, a total of 12,000 changes and almost 7,000 pages.
The set is part of a project exploring history and historiography facilitated by the internet, and visualising information, opinion, narrative and discussion.
There's more information about the project at booktwo. There are also slides and an audio recording available from dConstruct 2010, where I first presented the project, and more photographs at Flickr.
The Phare Conference 2011 is over. Thanks to everyone for attending the conference or following our updates from work / home. Check this website during the next few days for updates and more videos.
The REC-reporters were Niké, Mieke, Rosa, Willem & Thomas, always at your service :-)
James Bridle is closing this year's Phare Conference as we speak. Eager as we are, we already talked to him before he went on stage.
Brice Le Blévennec of The Reference Internet Company talks about an optimistic as well as a negative effect of the internet on our society.
We know you always wondered HOW all those savvy entrepreneurs, dotcom juggernauts and ever-hungry media that are shaping the internet today, actually LOOK like. Some of them unfortunately wanted to stay anonymous, but most of them eagerly nodded "yes" when our swift photographer asked to frame them.
Jeremy Keith explaining what he talked about during his opening speech. He's not pessimistic neither optimistic concerning the long term thinking about the internet. It's just a win-win or lose-lose situation. (uncut video)
The advantage of digital media is that they create non destructive documents. But how can we make sure that they are still online in a 1000 of years? Following Irish web developer Jeremy Keith, the starting point is a html format: "it's sloppy in the way the web itself is sloppy."
Nowadays, we trust our dreams, culture and data at urls which are in hands of people we don't know. On the other hand, self hosting still seems something too geeky. A positive evolution, however, is the existence of an enterprise called ICANN, which centralized the domain names.
Another problem Keith dealt with, was about the kind of data you want to put online and the rights of those data. Ever thought about the consequences of buying music online? What if the site will go offline and your music will be no longer playable?
"No civilisation has ever saved everything, but the problem lies in the way we are approaching it", it's time to start long term thinking about the internet.

text: Bristol Palin's Reality TV Show BombBristol Palin's Reality TV Show Bomb, The young mom's debut attracts nowhere near the number of viewers her mother's show did. Looks like Bristol Palin might be heading back to Alaska sooner than expected. "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp," the new Lifetime reality show that follows the daughter of former VP candidate Sarah Palin as she moves to L.A. with her young son Tripp, debuted to dismal ratings last night. The premiere attracted a mere 726,000 viewers; by comparison, mama grizzly Sarah's TLC show "Sarah Palin's Alaska" debuted to 5 million viewers last year, and the "Dance Moms" episode that preceded "Life's a Tripp" last night on Lifetime earned 1.8 million viewers. "Tripp" didn't even rank among the top 100 cable programs of the night in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic. And that viewer disinterest is right in line with the scathing reviews Bristol's show received from critics. (Finally, a show viewers and critics can agree on!) Most reviews called the show dull and overly staged, with the Washington Post writing: "Even if you have a lasting grudge against all things Palin, there's no payoff here. It's a new low for anyone who makes the mistake of watching." Time magazine characterized the show as "flailing to provoke us and getting our attention, then fumbling for anything to say once it gets it," and the San Francisco Chronicle called it "not very interesting, and you probably wouldn't watch if she wasn't who she is." Apparently, you probably wouldn't watch in any case. |

IT was great to be in one of London's top hotels last Sunday evening to see Steven Gerrard receive a series of well-earned accolades from Liverpool heroes, past and present, as well as from the professionals who have watched his career from press boxes the world over.
IT was great to be in one of London's top hotels last Sunday evening to see Steven Gerrard receive a series of well-earned accolades from Liverpool heroes, past and present, as well as from the professionals who have watched his career from press boxes the world over.
The Football Writers' Association Annual Tribute Evening made the Liverpool and England captain the recipient of this year's special event – and a packed room at the famous Savoy Hotel, who had braved the day's Arctic blast, listened as a stream of glowing testimonials came his way.
Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier spoke of the three levels of attainment for a modern top player in this country – Premier League class, international class and world class. The Frenchman, who gave Gerrard his Liverpool debut back in 1998, firmly put the Liverpool star in the third category, a valuation richly endorsed in a taped sequence by Houllier's countryman, French World Cup winning star, Zinedine Zidane. A world class talent recognising a world class talent.
Gary McAllister then got up on stage to say how Gerrard, as a very young man, had helped him, a player then in the glorious autumn of his career, settle in at Anfield and make his life on the field that bit easier for that bit longer.
Perhaps the most poignant tribute came from Gerrard's long-time Liverpool team-mate, Jamie Carragher.
He spoke eloquently and sincerely about his friend and proffered the view that Gerrard had now earned the mantle of being Liverpool's greatest-ever player, with due respect to Kenny Dalglish of course.
Carragher made the point that Gerrard had played in less star-studded Liverpool sides, and he also suggested, with a neat turn of phrase, that his pal's key strength was he had no weakness, and that he was an inspirational player who could turn a game in Liverpool's favour in a moment.
Indeed, that's what makes players world class. Carragher brought to life Gerrard's game-changing moments against Olympiakos, AC Milan and West Ham. To the Red faithful, those games need no further explanation.
Tellingly, Carragher said that while he and Gerrard had both been lauded as great one-club men, it had been easier for the defender because, down the years, he hadn't had some of the world's greatest club sides interested in taking him on a career-diverting route. Gerrard had been subject to those opportunities – and had chosen, despite being seriously tempted on one occasion, to stay on the red route, every time.
When it came to Gerrard's time to talk to the audience, sprinkled with football's household names including a Liverpool FC contingent that included Tom Werner, Brendan Rodgers, Ian Ayre, Ian Rush and comedian John Bishop, he spoke quietly and determinedly of his ambitions for both Liverpool and England. On a chilly night, the sincerity of his message must have warmed the evening for Rodgers and the England manager, Roy Hodgson, also in attendance.
Both men will have registered that their super-talented captain is now surrounded by English team-mates, at club level as well as obviously for the national side.
His Anfield club-mates could now include an outfield line-up that is all English, very strong and a great mix of youth and experience. And nine of them are full internationals.
Perhaps the classiest part of the evening came towards its end when Gerrard took the trouble to walk around the room and visit every table.
It was a lovely touch and warmly appreciated by the audience, both the serious professionals from the worlds of football and journalism, and the guests who just wanted a photograph or an autograph.
It was the touch of a great Liverpool and England captain – more importantly, the touch of a decent grounded bloke.
A world class touch actually.
He told me as he passed by that he had been absolutely blown away by the evening but his under-stated, humble response to peons of praise spoke volumes for his character.
Zinedine Zidane was spot on.

Romantic movies.. not my stuff too !! ;P
Mister DAFIR, bach teb9a lina 3la khatrek, tell us your movie type, so next time we give movies that are your stuff
Anyway, you can guess from the actors and last thing, watch this and romantic movies will be for sure your movie type
héhé thanks anyway, about my favs stuffs in movies, i like crime 'n' mafia stories and thrillers.. Scorsese's latest movies.. big fan of robert de niro & Al Pacino movies, Clint Eastwood of course.. sometimes it's goes till psychedelic movies, comedy or action.. 20% of western movies, inclued the new ones.. good and true stories even emotional but not romantic of course.
What else? we'll try with this list, and we'll let the rest for later !
noted !
so everyone gave his donkey or what ? I don't see answers
kan su'al sahal hada!
Googled for Nicole Kidman.
Didn't find the movie title straightaway but I managed to dig up her cellphone number somewhere in the search results.
She seemed somewhat suprised I called (I was a bit suprised she answered for that matter - because of the time-zone difference you know).
Anyhow. We had a nice little chat and she mentioned the movie was named after a country where you can find roadsigns like the one below:
Crocodile dundee lives there too you know. nuba dyali deba. Another romantic movie I'm afraid. But this one is actually really really good.
And because I'm in a generous mood this evening: 2 picture posts.

It looked like Cameron Diaz for me !!
Let me guess; Lex Luthor's dream kingdom : AUSTRALIA ?!!
It's relatively new & i haven't watched it yet, i couldn't have guessed it anyway !
Snx Maarten
ohhhhh hang on guys and what the hell ? it's not Nicole Kidman on the picture !!! how dare could you think that !? the actress doesn't look like her at all :s
Well since everyone released his donkey, the actress is Rachel McAdams, she's really famous by the way, uhm maybe her face isn't really clear on that picture, but I thought you would recognise the guy standing next to her, Ryan Gosling who stars in many good movies.
well for the movie, it's not AUSTRALIA but it's THE NOTEBOOK and you really gotta watch it !
so sorry Maarten, you didn't find out the movie, so I guess it's not your turn, but my turn again
DAFIR, you gotta find out this one.
I surely do : Vantage Point with Dennis Quaid
Take this, i just watched it yesterday, and it's a great movie with a good story based on a true one.
I recommend y'all to watch it.. it's kinda emotional at the end.
That's Hachiko! A dog's story.
Now, I'm a bit embarrassed. I'm able to recognise this movie because of the siberian husky starring in it, but I wasn't able to tell the difference between Nicole Kidman and Rachel McAdams. That's not good for my ego. In my defense, I think 2smrt4us tricked us with the picture post.

A few years ago, the designs were targeted toward teenagers, but in recent times Miss Selfridge has extended its fashion portfolio to appeal to the young at heart. The accouterment drawing inspiration from vintage print collections to contemporary styles conceptualized by in-house designers, are a favorite among the maverick fashion lover.
Is Miss Selfridge's online flagship a trendsetter on the virtual catwalk?
The brand claims to provide up-to-the-minute fashion, so the link to "new in this week" on the homepage is expected. Clicking on the link transports you to the online boutique, where the collection is neatly tiled on a virtual shelf. A clean, tiered menu bar allows shoppers the convenience of browsing either by product type or collection.
Along with the price and short description, a fit guide accompanying each product provides a standard size-conversion table. This is a particularly useful feature for those who may be unfamiliar with British clothing sizes.
In terms of content, a "works well with" option and garment care information would be a welcome add-on to the information currently available.
Virtual shoppers also have access to "exclusive" merchandise that is retailed only through the flagship store in London. A small section is also dedicated to items on sale and might be appealing for those looking for a quick bargain.
In an industry where customer service is a primary tool for customer retention, the site has a well-organized help section that answers customer purchase queries. Contact details, with a link to a toll-free number, are also provided for those who don't find an answer from the general information available. The site also has an organized e-shop facility, though the service is limited only to shipping in the UK.
For the fashionista, the site has two sections"fashion features" and "trends"that highlight styles unique to the Miss Selfridge brand. But it might be more useful to combine the content of the two sections under a single heading, however, as they essentially address the same thing.
Beyond the e-store that showcases playful shorts, evening gowns and vibrant accessories, the site provides interactive features such as contests, gift cards and newsletters to ensure customer revisits.
The site also has a dedicated "all about us" section that resembles the customer service area in a bricks-and-mortar store and delivers information on gift cards, store locations and careers at the company. The ten percent student discount offer in this section is a definite attraction for studentsand because they are an important target audience, it might be helpful to prominently highlight this feature. Also, to provide shoppers with a feel of the retail atmosphere, the site designers should add a few snapshots of the offline store.
Corporate information is also available in this section for those who wish to learn about the history of the brand. However, some more details on the brand's evolution and fashions trends over the years could be given more prominence.
All in all, the site's design reflects the youthful yet sophisticated nature of the brand. The site elegantly captures the latest trends for women in the fast moving fashion industry and is a must visit for those looking for hip fashion at an affordable price.
Preeti Suchanti currently works as client manager at an advertising agency in India. She graduated from the University of Bath, UK, with a Master's in Management, specializing in Marketing. She holds an undergraduate degree in Economics and Psychology from University of Virginia, USA.

It seems that every week, newspapers report on new advances in the science of cloning. Everybody knows about Dolly the cloned sheep, but few people know all the details about cloning, including the fact that scientists have been working on it for over 100 years.
Cloning in Nature
Cloning has been going on
in the natural world for thousands of years. A clone is simply one
living thing made from another, leading to two organisms with the same
set of genes. In that sense, identical twins are clones, because
they have identical DNA. Sometimes, plants are self-pollinated, producing
seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some
forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the
original tree spread its roots, which later sprouted new trees. When
earthworms are cut in half, they regenerate the missing parts of their
bodies, leading to two worms with the same set of genes. However,
the ability to intentionally create a clone in the animal kingdom by working
on the cellular level is a very recent development.
Early Progress
The first cloned animals
were created by Hans Dreisch in the late 1800's.
Dreich's original goal was not to create identical animals, but to prove
that genetic material is not lost during cell division. Dreich's
experiments involved sea urchins, which he picked because they have large
cells, and grow independently of their mothers. Dreich took a 2 celled
embryo of a sea urchin and shook it in a beaker full of sea water until
the two cells separated. Each grew independently, and formed a separate,
whole sea urchin.
1902, another scientist, embryologist Hans Spemman, used a hair from his
infant son as a knife to separate a 2-celled embryo of a salamander, which
also grow externally. He later separated a single cell from a 16-celled
embryo. In these experiments, both the large and the small embryos
developed into identical adult salamanders. Spemman went on to propose
what he called a "fantastical experiment" -- to remove the genetic material
from an adult cell, and use it to grow another adult. In this way,
he theorized, he would be able to prove that no genetic material was lost
as cells grew and divided.
New Advances
were no major advances in cloning until November of 1951, when a team of
scientists in Philadelphia working
at the lab of Robert Briggs cloned a frog embryo. This team did not
simply break off a cell from an embryo, however. They took the nucleus
out of a frog embryo cell and used it to replace the nucleus of an unfertilized
frog egg
cell, completing the "fantastical experiment"
of nearly 50 years before. Once the egg cell detected that it had
a full set of chromosomes, it began to divide and grow. This was
the first time that this process, called nuclear transplant,
was ever used, and it continues to be used today, although the method has
changed slightly.
False Hopes
1977, a German scientist shocked the world, claiming to have cloned three
mice from embryos. Although embryos had been cloned before, no one
had been able to do the experiment with mice because the cells were so
small and the tools so large that the cells were traumatized and would
eventually die after a few divisions. He instantly became famous,
telling the world how he cloned his mice. However, he refused to
actually demonstrate any of his techniques, and when other scientists couldn't
replicate his work, he came under suspicion. He was challenged --
repeat his work or be discredited. He accepted.
claimed to work nights and mornings when no one was around, but the equipment
was never disturbed. He showed off his mouse embryos' growth daily,
even though a malfunction in the water purification system left other scientists
at his lab unable to grow other embryos. Later, in his cabinet, test
tubes were found with mouse embryos in them, each at a different stage
of development. Most scientists do not believe that this scientist
was ever able to clone adult mice.
1978, a science fiction writer published a book claiming that a millionaire
(known to the readers only as Max) had come to him because of his connections
as a writer, and asked the him to arrange for Max to be cloned. The
author eventually agreed, as the story goes, and Max was cloned.
The book was ranked in the Top 10 list of popular books. Scientists
who read his book, however, noticed discrepancies between the book and
scientific data. One man who was quoted in the book was angry enough
to sue. The publisher admitted that the book was a hoax, but the
author maintains his claim to this day.
these two years, two front-page advances in cloning were discovered to
be, most likely, frauds. As a direct result, many scientists began
to claim that cloning of mammals was impossible. Funding and interest
dropped, and cloning returned to the realm of science fiction for several
First Cloned Mammals
breakthrough came in 1986. Two teams, working independently but using
nearly the same method, each on opposites side of the Atlantic, announced
that they had cloned a mammal. One team was led by Steen Willadsen
in England, which cloned a sheep's embryo. The other team was led
by Neal First in America, which cloned a cow's embryo. Many
advances were made during the course of these experiments, including progress
in keeping tissue alive in lab conditions. However, neither team
believed that it was possible to clone from an adult's differentiated
cells. With no progress in sight, the prospect
of cloning fell by the wayside, and little research was done on the matter.
Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Scotland was assigned to a project in
1986. His goal was to create a sheep that produced a certain chemical
in its milk. He chose to alter adult cells, which held up well in
laboratory conditions, and then clone them, producing animals with the
altered gene all throughout their bodies. He began the paperwork
in 1987, and began research in 1990.
of Wilmut's colleagues, who had experience with cloning from early embryo
cells, suggested that the reason so many cloning attempts failed
was that the cells were in incompatible stages of life. In one stage,
the cells are adding to the DNA, in another, they are proofreading it,
and in another, splitting it. The cells, he theorized, could not
always start over. Wilmut's team learned that by starving the cells,
they could be forced into what is called the G0 phase, similar to cellular
hibernation. This advance increased the survival rate of the cloned
cells; Megan and Morag, two lambs, were cloned from sheep embryos.
Wilmut's team now realized
that differentiation did not matter in cloning. More work was done,
and on July 5, 1996, a lamb was born, cloned from a frozen mammary cell
from another adult sheep. Wilmut, who names his animals very creatively,
named her Dolly after Dolly Parton.
Although Dolly was just
a step in a long experiment, the press descended upon the first animal
cloned from an adult. The Roslin Institute was overrun with journalists
and reporters. However, other scientists were critical -- Dolly took
277 tries to create, and other labs were unable to reproduce the results.
In addition, it took over a year for the institute to test Dolly's DNA
to make sure that it was indeed the same as that of the frozen mammary
cells. Science, although temporarily impressed, demanded a better
Herd of Mice
3, 1997, the Honolulu Technique created Cumulina the cloned mouse.
She was cloned from cumulus cells (cells which surround developing egg
cells) using traditional nuclear transfer. The nucleus was taken
from the cumulus cell and implanted in an egg cell from another mouse.
The new cell was then treated with a chemical to make it grow and divide.
The scientists repeated the process for three generations, yielding over
fifty mice that are virtually identical by the end of July, 1998.
The Honolulu Technique's success rate of 50:1 is almost six times better
than that of the Roslin Institute's success rate, 277:1. As cloning
technology improves, more and more applications will be seen in everyday
Mainstream Cloning
much do you love your dog? Is your dog so perfect that you would
pay over $2.3 million dollars to have another just like it? One couple
thinks their 11-year-old dog is just such an animal. Wishing to remain
anonymous to avoid run-ins with the press, this couple has contracted Texas
A&M University to clone their dog, Missy. Scientists are hailing
this for its scientific achievement; no dogs have been cloned before because
their reproductive system is rather complicated. If the cloning of
dogs can be achieved, perhaps exceptional animals like rescue animals can
be reproduced.
addition to the pure scientific appeal of cloning a dog, the attempt to
clone Missy has another interesting addition to make to the history of
cloning. A private couple wants their dog cloned. They are,
of course, spending millions to have her cloned, but consider the possibilities.
Could cloning the family pet one day become a normal alternative to buying
a new one?
cloning can be used to make farming more productive by replicating the
best animals. It can make medical testing more accurate by providing
test subjects that all react the same way to the same drug. It can
allow mass production of genetically altered animals, plants, and bacteria.
It may settle once and for all what part of personality is dependent on
genetics and what part on environment. In short, it can be beneficial
to almost every area of biological science.

Count the Marlins among the teams that will give infielder Scott Sizemore plenty of consideration as he searches for a new home.
The Marlins eventually came up, but the visit wasn't professional. It was personal.
Writing for MLB Tradrumors, Matt Swartz broke down why he projects Giancarlo Stanton will earn a paltry $4.8 million in arbitration.

The Marlins are going international next spring.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- He may not have the final say, but if Miami Marlins President David Samson has his way the team won't alter its no-trade clause policy.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Asked before the start of the General Managers' Meetings about the team's offseason priorities, President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill answered, "Offense, offense, offense."
ORLANDO -- Whether Jose Fernandez is named National League Rookie of the Year Monday became a little less important. Sunday, Fernandez got a surprise visit from his grandmother, Olga, who still resides in Santa Clara, Cuba.
Former Miami Marlins third-base coach Joe Espada won't be wearing a Jupiter Hammerheads' uniform in 2014. His dress code will be considerably more flexible.
The Miami Marlins Monday claimed the light-hitting, defensively-versatile Jimmy Paredes off waivers from the Houston Astros.
New Marlins general manager Dan Jennings went on the Front Office with Jim Bowden and Jim Duquette on Sirius/XM Radio today.
Baseball America on Thursday announced its top 10 Miami Marlins prospects heading into 2014. Topping the list is left-hander and 2012 first-round pick Andrew Heaney. The rest of the top five: third baseman and 2013 first-rounder Colin Moran, outfielder Jake Marisnick, left-hander Justin Nicolino and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani.
Third base prospect Colin Moran, last season's first-round draft pick out of North Carolina, is the lone Miami Marlins representative in Saturday's Fall Stars Game.
Christian Yelich and Jake Marisnick might be in the big leagues, but they're still prospects in the eyes of baseball's talent evaluators.
ST. LOUIS -- In order to answer the question posed in the headline above, you only need to look one place -- for now -- for an answer.
ST. LOUIS -- Marlins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco is headed to Los Angeles in a trade for three minor-league prospects, team president and director of player operations Larry Beinfest confirmed to reporters on a conference call Saturday night.
ST. LOUIS -- Jose Fernandez, the Marlins' 20-year-old rookie sensation who fled Fidel Castro's Cuba as a teenager, gave the baseball world its first glimpse at his live right arm in a five-inning outing April 7 at Citi Field in New York.
ST. LOUIS -- As far as the Marlins are concerned, the Miguel Olivo saga has officially come to an end.
ATLANTA -- Roger Clemens may have been a teenage Jacob Turner's big-league hero, but he had one problem as far as Turner was concerned.
ATLANTA -- In an effort to make room on the 25-man major league roster for starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez, the Miami Marlins optioned right-hander Tom Koehler to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday.
ATLANTA -- The Miami Marlins announced Wednesday night the signings of at least eight international players during the international player signing period that began Tuesday.
ATLANTA -- If Jose Fernandez receives this weekend or the next the phone call many in South Florida are hoping for, he will become only the fifth pitcher in major league history to pitch in an all-star game before his 21st birthday.
Giancarlo Stanton is baring all.
The Miami Marlins on Friday released their 2013 spring training schedule. Pitchers and catchers are on the field for their first official workout on Feb. 11. Four days later, the club will have its first full squad practice in preparation for the Feb. 23 Grapefruit League opener against the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.
I wasn't expecting any assurances. I didn't think President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest would guarantee that Giancarlo Stanton would be a life-long Marlin. At a minimum, I was banking on the "some players are less likely to be traded than others" bit, but Beinfest didn't even offer that.
