Busy month ahead at Brands Hatch
12:19pm Friday 15th June 2012 in Other Sport
A SERIES of four headline events will take place at the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit over the coming five weeks, starting with next weekend's British Formula 3 and GT event (June 23 and 24).
The annual round of two of Britain's biggest championships will provide a double-bill of superb action with some of the world's best young drivers and most spectacular cars in attendance.
British F3 has long been regarded as an important step on a driver's career ladder and nearly half of the current Formula 1 grid has raced in the series, including world champions Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, 2009 and 2010 champions respectively, are currently impressing for Toro Rosso as they fight for a seat in the champion Red Bull team.
The energy drinks company is currently backing Cooper Tires British F3 contender Carlos Sainz Jr, who is the son of the world rally legend.
Having led the championship earlier in the season, he is one of the hot favourites at Brands Hatch, with team-mate Jazeman Jaafar from Malaysia currently heading the standings from British talent Jack Harvey.
While the F3 contenders will be taking part in three sprint races, the Avon Tyres British GT championship will run as an endurance event over two hours on the Sunday.
Featuring drama-filled pitstops for refuelling and driver changes, the world's best supercars will roar along the straights of Brands Hatch's world-famous Grand Prix circuit.
Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes, BMW and Audi are just some of the famous marques represented on a huge grid.
So far this year four manufacturers have featured on the top step of the podium in the five races and there is every chance a different one will join the list at Brands Hatch.
Among the contenders for honours, Wrotham's Motorbase will be continuing a successful campaign with two Porsches that yielded pole position last time out at Rockingham.
Supporting the headline races will be sportscar action from Ginettas and Caterhams, while even more Grand Prix hopefuls will fight for supremacy in the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford championship.
Several world champions graduated via this series, so fans are advised to pack an autograph book.
The summer of Grand Prix circuit events continues with the annual Historic Superprix on June 30 and July 1, FIA Formula Two championship and International GT Open between July 13 and July 15 and MCE Insurance British Superbike championship on July 21 and 22.
Tickets for the British F3 and GT Championships at Brands Hatch on June 23 and June 24 are available in advance from £17, with free entry for children aged 12 and under.

The coast around has many wonderful locations to explore. A great way to visit many of these unique spots is to jump in a kayak and paddle along the shore. From the main beach, it is easy to kayak around the rocky point to Playa de Los Muertos and beyond to Las Cargadas. You can also take an afternoon tour, stopping for lunch at one of our beautiful, private inlets. Or, if you prefer do a day-long kayak trip, simply continue past Las Cargadas, around the next point to Carrizitos.

Quick Thoughts About Big Data
This is an area where marketers need to get up to speed quickly and stay ahead of the curve. Most consumer marketers have been exposed to pieces of the big data picture, primarily in web analytics, some propensity modeling, maybe some data mining. But now social data is starting to flow into production systems, and if location data becomes accessible, the data flood will become huge.
What to do? Most standard database approaches are not sufficient for big data, given their disk-based I/O limitations. The trend now appear to be in-memory computing, an area my employer happens to be pretty good at. So we're learning from the huge computing farms of the financial services industry and seeing what the future might look like for consumer marketers.
More to come on the subject, but think of huge chunks of your customer database kept in memory, with business rules, models, and other processes absorbing a constant stream of data and driving continuous real-time responses.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A North Carolina man whose hidden cocaine was found by a police dog that bit into the package and died has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors said a judge Friday ordered 33-year-old Jamie Gonzalez-Lopez to spend 135 months behind bars. He pleaded guilty to several drug charges.
Authorities say undercover federal agents ordered a kilogram of cocaine from Gonzalez-Lopez in July 2011. Gonzalez-Lopez then hid the drugs in a Brunswick County field while waiting to meet the "buyer."
Agents arrested Gonzalez-Lopez, and a sheriff's drug-sniffing Belgian Malinois named Viper was sent into the field to find the drugs. Viper accidentally bit into the package and bit and shook it, ingesting a fatal amount of cocaine.
More than 200 people turned out for a memorial service for the dog.

Metal frame?
looking at the leaked pics, the frame which goes around the device(with power button and all that) of the nexus 5 looks plasticky from the pictures, but could it be metal? would love it for it to be metal? do people think its gna be metal rather than plastic? and it would make sense for it to be metal as plastic is past its due date for android phones now......2014.......the year of solidly built android phones!!!
Re: Metal frame?
More than likely not. The nexus is, more than anything else, a dev phone priced as cheaply as possible so that developers can easily have a test device for development. This usually means gimped storage, lack of extra features, limited availability, mediocre camera, and cheapish materials. The fact that normal consumers like us get a devise that we love is merely a by product of the need for cheap development hardware.
This does not of course mean that it will not have a metal frame/body, but the smart money is on no.Galaxy S3(unlocked on whatever I feel like flashing) ---- Asus Tf300(unlocked on CROMI)
Htc Rezound(s-off on ViperRez) -- Addicted to crack and retired
Re: Metal frame?
I personally don't care if it's metal or plastic or fiberglass or wax paper. If it's for Verizon, I'm getting it and getting a bumper so it can be whatever. Never understood why this is such a big deal to people. I would think 80% of people put cases on their phones so it's irrelevant anyway.
- 09-17-2013, 01:43 PM Thread Author #4
Re: Metal frame?
I think the metal would add that bit of class to the nexus line and be a start or guideline for the majority of android phones to be premium built, not that there's nothing wrong with plastic, but metal just adds personality. And if they did put a metal frame on the nexus and it was cheap, that would make a statement, so it may be a tactic too?
- 09-17-2013, 01:55 PM Thread Author #6
Re: Metal frame?
Yeahh, the metal is no way a dealbreaker, if it performs and does the job well i will get it with or without metal frame, however what i do want is a freshhh UI, from those leaked vids, the UI, from the lock screen, loos the same.....from ICS to jelly bean and now from jelly bean to kitkat........NO WAY, the phone needs to be seriously good in everyother way for me to get it if it still has similar lookin UI

Kids don't have to hide dirty magazines under their mattresses anymore — they can just go to the library.
Children 13 and older can easily access hard-core porn in the city's public libraries by simply claiming to be of age on the software and clicking off the filters that block XXX-rated content. And library patrons say it happens all the time.
Do you know where else kids even younger than 13 can "access hard-core porn"? On any computer ever anywhere that is connected to the internet. Or on iPhones or Droids or any kind of internet-enabled phone. Literally every single place.
"She [a librarian] comes over and tells them to stop watching it, but once she leaves, they just go right back to watching it," he said.
Has anyone even MET a thirteen-year-old? This is basically what being thirteen is. Someone tells you to knock it off, then they leave, then you continue doing what you were doing. Leaving aside the hand-wringing about our children and how the internet robs them of their precious innocence (am I the only one who had cousins whose dad had Hustlers around?) it's just 100% butt-ass ridiculous that people are trying to make this about libraries.
"There's a big difference between exercising your 'freedom of speech' at home and exercising it in a public place such as a library, where you're surrounded by other people — including children," said Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro, who is threatening to cut taxpayer funding of libraries.
Seriously? Seriously. Because you know who has too much money? Libraries! And because if the library closed, clearly these porn watching people would go outside and do something wholesome. Doy. If only there weren't libraries, our children would never, ever see a naked person until their wedding night. This is kind of adorable, though:
Julio, who likes to play video games on the computers, says porn watchers should be booted."They shouldn't be allowed to watch it," he said. "You don't know if a minor like myself could be walking by."
Um, Julio? LIBRARIES ARE NOT FOR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES IN EITHER. You know, if we're being picky about what the computers are there for. Kids these days!
Next time you get a turn on the library computer, follow me on twitter! Julio will thank you.

Retailers Go For Gold By Evoking Olympic Games
By editor
More than 20 percent of online retailers have referred to the Olympics in their promotional materials in recent weeks. But unless they're official sponsors, they can't directly use trademarked Olympic symbols or even the word Olympics. So many have had to get creative, using language such as "go for the gold," "podium" or "world-class" to catch the attention of fans.

How odd you have slippers for different rooms :/I just slob about barefoot most of the time, but i'm a scruffy fucker anyway.
Yeah, we're cool like that I think your 2nd statement kind of addressed your first one
Hahaha I couldn't be arsed putting some slippers on just to go in one room, plus our floors not dirty we got a cleaner
Well, you just leave some easy-slip-on slippers outside the bathroom. Sorted. Also, if you have little kids using your bathroom expect urine to be hanging around inbetween trips from the cleaner
Visitor: Oh, lovely place you've got here.SwedenRed: Take you clothes off you fucking whore
They should go and feast on another dead corpse this one is alive and kicking and it will bite you fucking head off.
Its a it....errrr....weird, to ask guests to remove their footwear.
Found this.... What Germs Can Be Carried On Shoes?The study, reported in April of 2008, found the following in large numbers:How To Protect Home Flooring Against Shoe GermsWhile the sponsors of the study hope to market washable shoes, other alternatives are as follows:
I think it was more like this:Visitor: Oh, lovely place you've got here.SwedenRed: Take you clothes off you fucking whoreVisitor: How dare you! I've got rights.SwedenRed (inner monologue): How rude. My house, my rules. RAWK must know about this great injustice.
If you can speak Klingon just take your own life. It's too late for you. You can't unlearn that shit.
I think its funny that 'the swede' stopped posting when the mood of thread went away from'fair enough, your house, your rules'towe think your a bit of an anti germ nutter
Ive been busy...but I will have a longer read later. However after reading a few posts, it looks like a 'adult' discussion about whether tho wear shoes indoors or not, has descended into true RAWK style piss take.
This thread is mad I've never really thought about it before its just common sense really, you walk in someones house and do what you want with your shoes unless you're specifically asked to take them off or they're dirty. Can only guess the girl reacted like she did because she had no socks on but had manky feet or toe nails or something. Mostly i'll leave me trainers on if its a short visit but take them off if i'm gunna be there for a while for the sake of comfort.
So I asked her to leave (in a nice way)
She keeps getting texts off him saying "Oh please take me back, I love you and I'm still not over you". We read them together naked and then we laugh about it. Then she blows me off.
Did you tell her to shoo?
He gave her the boot.
Mysore Ass.
Can I have Hard Dick please?
kicked her to the curb
I don't let anyone bring their shoes "into the house." Shoes are removed as they enter the house and its either socks on or barefoot in the house or my office. I think its one of the most disgusting traits of being a westerner, bringing all that dirt from the streets into the home, bedroom and living room.And we say 3rd world countries are dirty.
She was on her toes
hoofed into touch.
Shame, could've been sole mates!
It was his Achilles' heel
Your office as in your place of work? I have no idea what you do but that seems a little odd, asking potential clients or colleagues (assuming you don't work from home) to remove their footwear?!
The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.
shoed have done better there.
This Rooney hating has gone too far now! I'm outside Old Traffod and there's a guy burning small effigies of Rooney and selling them to fans!Oh, hang on... Sorry!! It's a baked potato stand...
Think about it. All the shit you walk on on the street, in the pub gets brought into the house...you walk all around your apartment or your home with those shoes...don't you find that disgusting!?
I wish my balls were as big as Dirk's.

Sure, police and fire protection are great. And, it's important to have quality teachers to provide our children with a solid foundation for life. Yes, having garbage collection and a functioning sewer system and safe drinking water are vital.
But don't you think it's about time that Cape Fear region counties come together and invest hard-earned tax dollars on a multi-million dollar retractable roof baseball facility? Or maybe two?
"Are you serious?" you scream!
No … no, I'm not. It would be unwise use of public money in the best of economies. It would be completely irresponsible in today's economy.
But Cape Fear region college baseball teams would probably love having such a facility these days.
I can't remember a season when our region college teams have been so affected by the weather. It's raining one weekend. It's snow and ice the next weekend. Then it's the threat of inclement weather the following weekend.
Who can forget the picture below taken by UNC-Pembroke assistant coach Ryan McCleney on Sunday, Feb. 17 at 8 a.m. as coaches and players are stomping to break up ice so the tarp can be removed from the infield for that afternoon's game against Columbus State?
The UNC-Pembroke team should be OK this weekend. However, it's taking a 10-hour bus trip to Montevallo, Ala., to potentially avoid rainy weather. The forecast for Montevallo, according to the National Weather Service, calls for a 30 percent chance of showers Saturday morning, then clearing in the afternoon. Sunday's forecast calls for sunny skies with a high around 64. The Braves and Montevallo are scheduled to play a doubleheader Saturday, Feb. 23 and a single game Sunday, Feb. 24.
However, earlier this season, UNC-Pembroke moved a scheduled doubleheader against Chowan from Feb. 13 to Feb. 12 and rearranged its Peach Belt Conference series with Columbus State last weekend. The teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 16 and a single game on Sunday, Feb. 17. It turned out to be a single game on Sunday, Feb. 17 with temperatures in the high 30s and a doubleheader on Monday, Feb. 18
For the Methodist Monarchs, it's another weekend of scheduling adjustments. Methodist is now scheduled to play its USA South Conference series at Ferrum as a doubleheader on Sunday, Feb. 24 and a single game on Monday, Feb. 25. The series had been scheduled as a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 23 and a single game on Sunday, Feb. 24. Last weekend's home series against N.C. Wesleyan turned out to be a doubleheader on Friday, Feb. 15 and a single game on Sunday, Feb. 17.
In Laurinburg, the surprising St. Andrews Knights, with a 9-1 record, have already postponed a Feb. 13 game against N.C. Wesleyan until later in the season, canceled its scheduled doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 16 against West Virginia Institute of Technology, and moved its scheduled doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 23 against Alderson-Broaddus College to Sunday, Feb. 24. That means one of the scheduled three games in the weekend series will be canceled.
In Buies Creek, Campbell has had to rearrange its schedule beginning with its season opener Feb. 15 against Eastern Michigan. The Camels and Eagles were supposed to play single games on Friday, Feb. 15, Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 17. It ended up being a doubleheader on Friday, Feb. 15 with a single game Sunday, Feb. 17 canceled due to snow. The Tuesday, Feb. 19 game at East Carolina was moved from a 3 p.m. start to a 6 p.m. start to allow for an early afternoon rain to pass. This weekend, with Hartford in town, the series, which was supposed to be a game Friday, Feb. 22, two games Saturday, Feb. 23 and a game Sunday, Feb. 24 has turned into a game Thursday, Feb. 21, which the Camels won 9-2, a postponed game Friday, Feb. 22 that is now a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 23 and a single game Sunday, Feb. 24.
Cape Fear region high school baseball teams, which officially open their season next week, are having difficulty spending much time on the practice field.
So … still think that retractable roof stadium is a crazy idea?

I don't think any developers really want to force a Dx11 requirement now. I doubt many even want to force a Dx10 requirement. One of the reasons for WoW's success is that it can be run on so many computers. It's obvious that the devs here are trying to emulate as many of WoW's successful elements as possible.
I would not care about the DX version if they could support Anti Aliasing in DX9. But as we now know, based on the fact that they are using Deferred Shading, we can't use Anti Aliasing unless they support DX10.
Edges look like junk right now and it really detracts from the beauty of the game.

The Russians smalltime crooks Sergei Akotia (Brian McCardie) and Yuri
(Alexis Denisof) plan to hold up two million dollars from a casino with
the inside information of the security guard Troy (Steve Harris) and
the support of two dirty cops. When the two cops are killed, they
decide to call off the heist and they kick out their girlfriends Misha
(Nastassja Kinski) and Lexi (Alison Hannigan). Misha and Lexi meet an
old friend of Misha, Helena Toretti (Jennifer Esposito), who is in a
divorce process with the bored and upset detective Jack (Todd Field).
The trio plots revenge against the guys and decide to rob the casino
with Troy. But the plan turns upside-down with unpredictable events.
When I saw the names of Alison Hannigan (from Buffy), Alexis Denisof
(from Angel) and the gorgeous Nastassja Kinski and Jennifer Esposito in
the cast of this movie, I decided to ignore the bad reviews and IMDb
Rating and watch it. Unfortunately, the reviews are right and this
movie is really bad, with a messy screenplay and awful conclusion. The
story is very confused, with a terrible direction that is not able to
make a funny, or dramatic, or violent movie. There are some ridiculous
parts, like for example when the two "Russians" argue in English with a
weird accent. If they are Russians, wouldn't they speak in their native
language while alone? The character of Alison Hannigan, Lexi, is
awfully developed and never clear of her objectives and feelings. Brian
McCardie looks like a cartoon with his character (or caricature?). I
tried to find good and positive points in this movie, but with such
unpleasant end with the fate of Misha it is impossible to like it. I
have never read anything about this director, Gigi Gaston, but he was
able to waste a good cast and I had a really bad experience watching
this confused flick. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Além dos Limites" ("Beyond the Limits")
Lame Canadian heist flick will be of interest to Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans since it stars not only Allyson Hannigan (Willow) but also features Alexis Denisof (Wesley on Buffy and Angel). The movie seems like it might have been inspired by Bound, but it's unconvincing and dull. Of the three female leads Hannigan comes off best by far, bringing a touching vulnerability to her part. Jenniffer Esposito, on the other hand, is dreadful. You never believe her for a second and are always too aware that you're watching an actress play a part--and a not very good actress at that based on this movie and Backflash.
This film has absolutely no direction. I was a little skeptical of the concept but saw that it could actually work. But the story and dialogue just got lost and the film got muddled into the second act and fell apart from there. Any comedic or dramatic elements of the film got in the way of each other.
Ok, I just want to say, if Gaston wanted a Russian accent, why didn't she
get a Russian person? I mean, I know that it's ok sometimes to change for
role, but Denisof's accent sucked. I am normally a fan of both him, and
Alyson Hannigan, but please! The movie was a waste of time. I watched it
twice, just to reassure myself that it really was crap and I didn't look
over some hidden meaning in every scene.
I know that the same POV the entire movie gets boring, but how many times
did the editor's have to change it? None of the scenes make much sense,
either. I literally didn't get the point of half of them, unless they were
there just to confuse the audience. I just hope that when I start
my movies won't get as many horrible reviews as this one
1. This is not an action flick.
2. This is not a crime thriller.
If you can swallow those up front, I think you might enjoy the film. As
best as I can put it, this story is a character study of three loser
women and the loser men they hang out with in LA. The three women,
realizing that their lives are nothing but sound & fury, band together
to change things, although they're not quite sure how. As the story
progresses, so does their desperation and ultimately their resolve to
pull off a crazy heist which they hope will get them beyond the city
limits and free of their loser lifestyles forever.
Although the story is interesting, make no mistake, the principal focus
is on the characters. Most of the film focuses on the 3 friends and
their funny, sad & angry moments, building a tone of quiet frustration
which comes to a climax in the last 20 minutes when they decide to go
through with the crazy heist. But the first 70 minutes of the film is
more like "Stand By Me", the adult female version. I think if you view
the film that way, you'll really love it.
The acting of these 3 main characters is fantastic. There's not a lot
of fireworks and histrionics, but instead you get a good, solid,
realistic portrayal of real people. Natassja Kinski shines as the free
spirit who, for some reason, can never get free of circumstances.
Jennifer Esposito is equally convincing as a feisty woman whose life is
winding down way too soon. And Alison Hannigan gives a great
performance as the kid whose life has imploded before she can even get
off the ground. I give another round of applause to Sophie B. Hawkins
who shows that she can act as well as sing (not to mention wear a vinyl
cat suit better than anyone I've ever seen. homina homina, "damn I wish
she was my lover").
By the way, don't kill yourself looking for a widescreen version; I
believe this was filmed in 4:3 which was annoying to me at first, but
as the film progressed, I realized how well director Gigi Gaston made
artistic use of the full screen format to convey a feeling of both
claustrophobia and tightness between the 3 friends. I'd like to think
it was planned that way (but if not, heck, someone did a great job of
pan & scan). Gigi Gaston did a great job with this.
There are some great comedic moments if you're into dark comedy. Some
of the situations are so bizarre they're hilarious. And I really think
the dog "Woody" deserves an Oscar nom.
To tell the truth, I have mixed feelings about Beyond the City Limits. It
had its high and low points, its strong and weak moments. It isn't the
indie film, but it also isn't the worst.
Beyond the City Limits is about two Russian men, Sergei (Brian McCardie)
Yuri (Alexis Denisof), who try to pull off a casino heist with two
cops. Unfortunately, the two cops are killed in a shoot-out in a bar.
men need to find replacements soon.
The other part of this film revolves around three women: Lexi (Alyson
Hannigan), Helena (Jennifer Esposito), and Misha (Natassja Kinski). Lexi
was dating Sergei before being thrown out of his apartment and their
Her friend, Misha, tags along. With the help of Helena, who recently
out on her husband (Todd Field), and another man (Steve Harris), they try
pull off the heist themselves.
The main reason I bought Beyond the City Limits in the first place was to
see Alyson Hannigan and especially Alexis Denisof in very different roles
than those they play on TV. I was surprised at some of the things they
in this film (Lexi shoots heroin, Yuri gets oral sex in an alley). They
were the films main high points.
If you like indie films, you might like this one. If you're a fan of
Alyson Hannigan or Alexis Denisof, you will love this film. The ending
seemed kind of... fake. I don't know what it is, but I saw it coming.
Otherwise, this is a decent film that deserves some sort of
I finally saw Beyond the city limits after a long search it has been released here in the Netherlands in the video rental. Not the best movie I have ever seen, it was certainly not the best performance the actors ever did, except for Jennifer and the lovely Alyson who are the real stars of the movie these two make the movie worth looking. Beyond the city limits will be released for sale in the Netherlands on 21st of may.
I am one of the few outside of the Philippines who actually owns a copy of
Beyond the City Limits. It's too bad this movie hasn't been released more
widely, since it's not a bad movie. It's sort of a low budget clone of
oceans 11, but with female lead characters.
There's nothing really unexpected or exciting about the film, the acting
above average, the editing/directing is slightly below average, and the
plotline/script are average. It's worth watching, if only to see the
gorgeous Alyson Hannigan. It's also pretty funny watching Alexis Denisof
talk in a Russian accent. Quite different from his role as Wesley the
Watcher in Buffy/Angel.
If you get a chance to see this movie, I say go for it, especially if
a fan of Alyson Hannigan.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Spoilers herein.
Yes, this movie is a disaster. Yes, it has clumsy cinematography and
direction. It has
uninspired acting from the women who are at the center of things.
So do most movies. What this lacks is a success where it takes its big
and that big
risk is worth noting.
A game these days for writers is to play with shifting narrative. You can
the time
folding thing, or folding the narrator (by shifting among different
perspectives), or
folding the story (by having several parallel threads) or folding the
(for instance
comedy into horror, here "women's film into con game). You can
if you are
very clever (as in "Donnie Darko" and "Ghost World" and even "Boondock
Saints") fold
These guys try all of them. No genre is more flexible for this sort of
than the con
movie, unless it is a mockumentary about performance. And they follow in
of "Bound," which works some of this territory successfully.
They fail, I think, because the director just doesn't have the vocabulary
manipulate and
fold that space between the story and our mind. But they get extra credit
my mind for
trying to go beyond "Go."
Along the way, we get the rule of doubling: two of everything, and
reflections of every
relationship and event. That's why you have the shifting POVs, the dual
lesbian stuff, the
two pairs of thugs, the "extra" girl (Sophie) and the apparently useless
heroin segment.
Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.
Beyond the City Limits or Rip-It-Off, more like just rip-off, is supposedly a heist movie featuring surprising backstabing. However the only backstabbing I detected must have been done to the writer, because they were unable to finish the script. There is time spent on character development but it is wasted. No back-story is revealed, we have no idea how the characters know each other, and minus one character you (I anyway) have no desire to know them. The acting is akin to that you would perhaps see in your child or siblings kindergarten play. Minus the performance of Alyson Hannigan who plays a smack junkie who can't kick the habit giving her character a least a reason for empathy. I see that the guidelines for posting a review say no spoilers but with this plot (if you call it that) it is next to impossible. Consider this a P.S.A. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

Believing that the results of experience constitute the only true guide to the wisdom and efficiency of any measure, especially one of a surgical nature I have, therefore, no hesitation in placing before you now for the purposes of thought and practice a record of four cases of appendicitis that have come recently under my observation, together with the lessons they teach:
Case 1.—That of E. B. J., M.D., of Pennsylvania, aged 28, and of good habits in all respects. This patient came to my office for consultation and treatment June 13, 1894, with the following history:
1. Had always been in good health up to the time of the first attack of appendicitis.
2. Had suffered from four attacks of this disease before coming to my notice, from the last of which he had just recovered.
The first attack happened without apparent cause, during the last week in November,

Howz about a little "Last BAYOU comic standing" — oil'd wildlife edition.
Y'all know Anne, right? She gives us our "Coona** Joke of the Day."
* * * *
Thibodeaux and Boudreaux heard that BP needed help down on
the coast cleaning pelicans.
They applied for the job.
They had thirty-four skinned and ready to cook before they got
* * * *
That's quick work. Oh, relax. She made a funny. They're safe and sound; and here in Texas. SEE!
And here's the patron saint of the BAYOU, his "holiness" FF, with a take on yesterday's "flaming turtle" post.
* * * *
Bob Dylan: How many roads must one turtle cross?
Zsa Zsa Gabor: It probably crossed to get a better look at my legs, which, thank goodness, are good, dahling.
Karl Marx: To escape the bourgeois middle-class struggle.
Ronald Reagan: Well, I forget.
The Sphinx: You tell me.
Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.
Mae West: I invited it to come up and see me sometime.
Barack Obama: The turtle crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The turtle wanted CHANGE
Captain James T Kirk: To boldly go where no turtle has gone before.
Martin Luther King, Jr: I have a dream! I have a dream of a day, when ALL turtles can cross ALL roads without having their motives called into question!
Bill Clinton: I did not cross the road with THAT turtle.
Louis Farrakhan: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The turtle "crossed" the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.
Dr. Seuss: Did the turtle cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the turtle crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!
Pat Buchanan: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
Jerry Falwell: Because the turtle was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that turtle is gay. And if you eat that turtle, you will become gay too.

David Moyes and skipper against WBA Phil Jagielka know that Everton have a game on their hands against Norwich.
Like Swansea, Paul Lambert's team have been a revelation this season in the Premiership. Norwich also welcome back centre dash and captain Grant Holt after suspension.
Jags said: "A lot of bookies and others might have expected them to struggle but they've been flying. They've conceded a few goals over the course of the season as everyone does, but nobody has had an easy game against them.
"They will attack you, they often play two up front, but he's got them well drilled and they haven't been turned over.
"Grant Holt has scored some important goals while John Ruddy has done very well."
Moyesy said: Paul has done a great job, he really has. They have been in the top half of the league pretty much all season and are not in any danger of relegation or anything like that, so for Norwich City it has been a fantastic season.
"And Paul has guided them up through the divisions so he has done a really terrific job.
"He is one of a group of younger managers who are coming in with some fresh ideas and styles and they are being brave with what they do - it is a great credit to them."

LOS ANGELES – Screenwriters Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth have been named recipients of the Writers Guild of America, West's 2011 Paul Selvin Award for their screenplay for Fair Game. The award recognizes written work which embodies the spirit of constitutional rights and civil liberties. The Butterworth brothers, along with other Guild honorees, will be recognized at the 2011 Writers Guild Awards West Coast ceremony this Saturday, February 5, at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel-Grand Ballroom.
"Jez & John-Henry Butterworth's Paul Selvin Award-winning screenplay for Fair Game expertly conveys both the impact and implications of a contemporary media climate where public and private worlds are often blurred for political gain. Their absorbing script articulates nuances of political and personal speech, while adeptly maintaining a tight focus on the human-scale drama, illuminating the all-too-personal costs when our basic rights are put in jeopardy," said WGAW President John Wells.
"We think it's very cool to be given this award. Fair Game and the themes it contains represent a time when the Constitution was under intense pressure. We're just grateful to everyone involved for the opportunity to be part of a movie that covers such an important period of history. Thanks Writers Guild!" said Fair Game screenwriters Jez and John-Henry Butterworth.
The Summit Entertainment-River Road Entertainment-Participant Media film, directed by Doug Liman with a screenplay by Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth, based on the books The Politics of Truth by Joseph Wilson and Fair Game by Valerie Plame Wilson, offers a thought-provoking, troubling glimpse into the dark corridors of political power. This riveting political thriller is inspired by the experiences of real-life CIA undercover officer Valerie Plame Wilson (portrayed by Academy Award® nominee Naomi Watts), whose career is suddenly destroyed and her marriage strained to the limit when her covert status is exposed via a press leak by a senior State Department official.
As a covert agent in the CIA's Counter-Proliferation Program, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie's husband, Joe Wilson (portrayed by Academy Award® winner Sean Penn), is soon drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and instead uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe is compelled to write a scathing New York Times op-ed piece. He outlines his own conclusions, implying that the Bush administration had deliberately manipulated intelligence about WMDs to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which in turn, ignites a firestorm of controversy in the media, in the political arena, and in the couples' lives.
Jez Butterworth's other co-screenwriting credits include The Last Legion and Birthday Girl, as well as the telefilms Christmas, and The Night of the Golden Brain, all co-written with his brother Tom Butterworth. His feature directorial debut, Mojo, was based on his own award-winning stage play. Fair Game is John-Henry Butterworth's first credited screenplay.
The Paul Selvin Award is given to that WGA member whose script best embodies the spirit of the constitutional and civil rights and liberties, which are indispensable to the survival of free writers everywhere, and to whose defense the late Selvin, who served as counsel to the Guild for 25 years, committed professional life. Previous recipients include Allison Cross, Gary Ross, Cynthia Whitcomb, David E. Kelley, Eric Roth, Michael Mann, Jason Horwitch, Don Payne, Robert Eisele & Jeffrey Porro, Dustin Lance Black, and most recently, Anthony Peckham.
The 2011 Writers Guild Awards will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2011, simultaneously at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel-Grand Ballroom in Los Angeles and the AXA Equitable Center in New York City.

In this article, the authors explore how active state support for religions and worldviews could be in accordance with the principle of liberal neutrality. They focus on the Belgian church-state policy because this policy is characterised by an explicit and extended form of active support for recognised worldviews. If this policy is in accordance with liberal neutrality, some other, weaker forms of state support for religions and worldviews may also be in accordance with this neutrality principle. In the light of these considerations, the authors make some suggestions about possible ways to bring the Belgian church-state policy more in accordance with liberal neutrality. |

Auteurs | Anja Eleveld |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
The author argues that normative questions in social law are in need of a more philosophical approach. This is particularly true for the evaluation of Work-first arrangements. She proposes to evaluate workfare policies from the perspective of the reciprocity principle as it is deployed in the work of the liberal egalitarians John Rawls and Stuart White. While Rawls' interpretation of the reciprocity principle seems to be at odds with Dutch jurisprudence on workfare policies, which allows for Work-first arrangements within the boundaries that are set by article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights (a prohibition on compulsory labor), White's approach rather encourages work obligations for welfare recipients, on the condition that citizens acquire individual drawing rights on collective participation funds. |

De Drittwirkung van grondrechtenRetorisch curiosum of vaandel van een paradigmatische omwenteling in ons rechtsbestel? |
Trefwoorden | Drittwirkung, horizontal effect of human rights, constitutionalisation of private law |
Auteurs | Stefan Somers |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
This article discusses whether the horizontal effect of human rights marks a new paradigm in legal systems or is merely a new style in legal rhetoric. In doing so, much attention is paid to the differences between direct and indirect horizontal effect. Departing from social contract theory the article explains that the protection of human right values in horizontal relations is an essential feature of modern constitutionalism. It also analyses whether these values in horizontal relations should be protected by private law or by human rights. This question is looked at from a substantial, a methodological and an institutional perspective. In the end, because of institutional power balancing, the article argues in favor of an indirect horizontal effect of human rights. |

De complexiteit van het kwaadEen kritische lezing van Hannah Arendts Eichmann in Jerusalem |
Trefwoorden | banality of evil, Hannah Arendt, Adolf Eichmann, Holocaust studies, philosophy of international criminal law |
Auteurs | Klaas Rozemond |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
In her book Eichmann in Jerusalem Hannah Arendt concluded that the Eichmann trial taught us the lesson of the 'fearsome, word-and-thought-defying banality of evil'. Arendt explained the concept of banality as thoughtlessness: Eichmann did not realize what he was doing when he planned and executed the Final Solution of the Jewish Question in Nazi Germany. In this article Arendt's analysis of Eichmann's evil is criticized from an internal perspective: the conclusion that Eichmann was thoughtless cannot be founded on the information Arendt herself gives, especially her reports on Eichmann's idealism, his knowledge of Kant's categorical imperative, his Pontius Pilate feeling during the Wannsee Conference, and the two crises of conscience Eichmann experienced during the Holocaust. This information shows that Eichmann clearly realized what he was doing in a moral sense and consciously decided to go on with the Final Solution on the basis of his own convictions as a Nazi. |

What's your opinion of Copenhagen Contemporary Imports? Are you an Austin resident and have visited the store? Let us know!
You buried the lede. Copenhagen has a sizeable sales section with deep discounts. Even for the regularly priced furniture if you're a small space dweller, chances are that you won't need more to spend tons of money on a full set of anything (dining room, sofa set, etc.).
Sorry, not trying to tell you how to do your job. But in these thrift minded times, people want to know that this is still accessible to them.

TGI freakin' F!
I'm a little bit beyond exhausted between school, work, blogging, and setting up shop.
Speaking of the shop, it opens on Monday!
As promised, while I'm going bracelet crazy over here I've got a very special guest filling in.
The one and only...................ELLEN! (aka, my real life besty)
For those of you that just got really excited, I'm sorry but I'm not best friends with Ellen Degeneres.
I am, however, besties with someone just as funny.
If you haven't read her blog, you must.
She's probably the most inappropriate person I know. And I absolutely love it.
She also has the biggest heart.
Oh, and she's beautiful and beyond hilarious.
Without further ado, Ellen!
hi there SF-ers!
that sounded weird... everytime i hear "SF" i think of san franscico.
so hi there san franciscans!
im ellen, brie's real life besty!
no, but really, we are.
i think everyone has a "blogging besty" or two (you know.... the bloggers who you would probably be besties with if distance wasn't an issue and you didn't meet on the internet), but brie and i have been friends since 15 years of age... WAAAY before the "blog/facebook/social media/lets get our stalk on" era.
the last time i was here, i talked a little about how meeting someone at the most awkward stage of your life pretty much means you are destined to be friends forever. and wouldn't you know it! brie loved me through the bad hair, braces, and awful choice in clothing... and here we are nearly 10 years later just as close!
brie and i are sooo lucky our boyfriends love one another's company. they are on the same ultimate frisbee team, and are just as big of chatterboxes on double dates as brie and i are. the lord knows our double date nights would be pretty brutal for brian and colton if they weren't able to talk about whatever guys talk about when they are on double dates. brie and i are usually in very deep conversations about blogging, RHONY, and fashion to even notice the bromance.
ellen (yes, like degeneres. or your grandma)
blog. facebook. bloglovin
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend :)
Now go say hi to Ellen!
P.S. Elle Belle, I'm totally getting you back for that photo of me in the puka shell necklace.

•I'll repeat that one more time; bacon peanut butter blondies with dark chocolate ganache. Didn't think it was possible to have all your favorite flavors in one bite? I finally took the plunge and made a dessert with bacon (bacon flavored coffee is next, kidding) and, YES it's just as good as it sounds.
4 slices thick cut bacon 1 stick unsalted butter 1 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter-I used creamy, but think crunchy would give a great texture and would suggest using. 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1 tps baking powder 1/4 tps baking soda 2 cups flour 2/3 cup peanut butter chips makes 10-12 bars prep baking and cooling time 4 hours 350°With kitchen scissors, snip bacon into med sized pieces and add to a large cold skillet. Turn heat to med high heat and cook bacon until slightly crispy, remove bacon and drain on a paper towels. Discard all but 1 tbls of the bacon fat.
Add the butter to the pan along with the bacon fat and slowly melt, scraping the bottom of the pan.
Add the brown sugar and cook over med heat until the sugar is melted. Stir in the peanut butter.
Pour the mixture into a mixer bowl and let cool at least 15 min. Mix on med high speed to cool off more before you add the eggs. Pre heat oven to 350°.
Add the eggs one at a time to the warm mixture making sure to continue mixing until the batter is thicker, 7-10 min.
Add the baking power, baking soda, and salt, mix. Add the flour all at once and mix only until almost blended, don't over do it.
Add the bacon and peanut butter chips and mix in with a wooden spoon. Spread evenly into a baking pan (I used a 11×7 glass pan) and pop in the oven for about 25-30 min, rotating half way through until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool a couple hours before you pour the ganache on top.
Pour 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks into a med sized bowl, set aside. In a small sauce pan heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over med high heat just until you see small bubbles around the sides. Pour the cream over the chocolate and whisk until combined (I had to add another splash of cream).
Drizzle or pour over the blondies and don't forget to lick the spoon♥Enjoy

Washington attempting to overturn the will of Texans
Copyright 2012: Houston Chronicle, By State Sen. Dan Patrick | March 16, 2012 | Updated: March 16, 2012 11:54pm
Anyone who would say that Gov. Rick Perry has been playing political games with the Women's Health Program simply doesn't have the facts straight.
Last week, state Rep. Jessica Farrar said Gov. Perry was doing just that, ignoring entirely the fact that the body in which she's a member passed the Texas law that forms the center of this dispute. Farrar had a chance to make her case last year; she simply lost.
Now, as she was unable to enforce her will on the state level, she's appealing to the Obama administration and its far-left base to do what she couldn't do - mainly, overturn the will of the Texas people.
Far from a game, this is yet another instance where the rights of Texans to govern their own affairs are being assaulted by a presidential administration that is far more interested in placating its pro-abortion base than it is in respecting states' rights.
Make no mistake, this is yet another instance where the Obama administration is simply pretending the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution doesn't exist.
The fact is that federal law leaves it to the states to administer the Medicaid program and set criteria for qualified providers. Now, because Texas refuses to fund abortions and those who promote them, the Obama administration has canceled this program, jeopardizing the care of more than 100,000 low-income Texas women.
Gov. Perry has made it clear that Texas will step up and find the money to continue the services WHP has been providing, and I support his efforts. It's another instance where Texas has stepped up to fill in the gaps where Washington has failed.
Farrar is yet another liberal who feels the needs of Planned Parenthood and similar organizations are far more important than the actual health care of these women - and certainly more important than the inconvenience caused by any constitutional amendment.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has always left it to the states to determine who qualifies as a provider. It wasn't until Texas, citing the law passed by an overwhelming and bipartisan majority of legislators, made decisions that CMS (and President Obama) disagreed with that they changed tactics.
Texas law requires the exclusion of abortion providers and their affiliates, including Planned Parenthood, and the Obama administration believes preserving the finances of these organizations is more important than honoring the will of the Texas Legislature, not to mention the will of Texans themselves.
Planned Parenthood has painted this as an assault on their organization, and on women in general. This is far from the truth.
In point of fact, according to a former director of such a clinic, clinics like Planned Parenthood aren't a particularly good place to go if you're sick, as they don't provide the comprehensive care that other providers do. Planned Parenthood has to frequently send women to other providers so they can receive the services they need. The fact the Obama administration is gutting this program in order to preserve substandard care is only the latest irony in this unfortunate series of events.
The ramifications of this decision could be horrible for thousands of Texas women. That, however, is apparently not as important to President Obama, and Farrar, as Planned Parenthood's bottom line.
Patrick, R-Houston, is a Texas senator representing District 17.

After being drained from directing the box-office smash "Twilight: New Moon," rumors circulated that Chris Weitz was going to retire, but he quickly quashed those by quietly setting up his next film, the low-key drama "The Gardener."
Not much has been heard about the project, but Weitz has been busy, as Deadline reports he's cast the film and will start shooting next month in Los Angeles. Demian Birchir (who played Fidel Castro in "Che") is set to take the title role in the film, which Weitz's describes as being about "...an undocumented immigrant who gets the chance to buy a truck and equipment to raise his family out of poverty, and how things go right and wrong from there." Weitz, further describes the film as "....an Italian neo-realist movie with a contemporary feel. I wanted to return to making films with no green screen required, not that there's anything wrong with those."
Actually, it sounds pretty interesting, and something he's definitely excited about so we'll keep our eye on it. As for the rumors that Weitz might return to film the fourth and fifth films of the Twilight saga, "Breaking Dawn," it pretty much looks like that's not going to happen. Speaking with HitFix he says, "I think that for some rather dull reasons it probably won't happen, but that's because of my family and what I owe them having done two big epic-y films and I get to make 'The Gardener' in LA. But [to do that after 'New Moon'] I think my mind would explode."
After the energy drain of "New Moon" and the clusterfuck of "The Golden Compass," we're pretty sure Weitz is not so eager to return to the world of franchise films for a while.

OMG. She's back…
Who's next?
Complete random chance, but it makes me happy just looking at it…
…yes, I have been PvPing, since you ask. And thereby hangs a tale. And not a happy one.
Folks, I have a plan to get this blog going again, which I'm in the midst of implementing. But, in the meantime, I suspect there's enough of a crossover between the WoW-playing audience and the Doctor Who watching audience that you might enjoy my latest blog project:
Blogs are cool. :-)
…is to do something pointless, cute and fun.
Wow. A whole month without posting. March missed completely. That's only happened once before on this blog - I missed the whole of November 2007, too. But March 2011 was a dead zone on this blog.
And I'd like to thank you all for your concern and enquiries after my health or status with regard to the game. I'd like to, but I can't, because nobody cared. *sob*
However, I'm aware other people have bowed out of WoW while I've been away and - frankly - I came damn close to quitting myself. I hope to find the time tomorrow to blog about that, what caused my flirtation with /quit and what has (for now) brought me back from the brink. But for now, here's a few screenies, just to prove that I have been doing something.
The Useful
Hello, shiny belt.
The Unexpected.
Kinda freaky. A bit psychedelic, in fact. But just an unexpected achievement from buying the latest guild perk recipe.
Have chef's hat. Will achieve. (Been doing my dailies, like a good little tree)
The Slightly Shameful
Uh, yeah. That's the normal Stonecore achievement. At, um, 85. With heroic level gear. *cough*
It is with sad regret that Andromatche must announce her resignation of leadership of the Shuttered Rivens and her departure from Azerath and the Weald of Wartcraft. Catastrophe has proved to be an utter faceroll and the enjoyment has gone from the game.
