in consequence of the missive, GR: Thoughts from chapter 2, penned by Kim in AK
] When the perfect gentleman disclosed a sincere and honourable passion, he diffidently stressed his own unworthiness, in contrast to the estimable qualities of his chosen object. ]I was struck by just HOW inappropriate and un-gentlemanlike Darcy's first proposal really was. It's nice to see you here, and I don't mind reviewing the chapters at all. There was a lot of information that needs to become more fixed in my brain. :-) I am especially interested in reading how bits of this book can be tied in with JA's novels, so am pleased to see you make a connection between Darcy's proposal (who definitely did not "diffidently stress his own unworthiness" - LOL), and how courtships actually played out. I don't recall* one proposal in this particular book that sprung out of nowhere, so am wondering how often these unexpected proposals (like in P&P) occurred. *Note, I have a terrible memory, so feel free to correct my recollection. :-) |

Wes Craven's Scream (1996) was a half-parody/half-tribute to the first wave of slasher films of the 1970s and 1980s, and since most of them spawned a large number of sequels, it's only appropriate that Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson produced a third installment of their Scream franchise. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), traumatized by the brutal murders of her friends, has left her hometown of Woodsboro and is working in California as a crisis intervention counselor. Meanwhile, "Stab," the novel by Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox Arquette), is spawning a series of successful horror films, and as
Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro
is being filmed in Los Angeles, a lunatic has gotten his hands on a copy of the script, and is murdering the characters in the same order that they die in the movie. But predicting who will die next is not as simple as it might seem, since the producers have circulated three different screenplays, with different endings. In addition to Campbell and Cox-Arquette, David Arquette returns from the first two films as less-than-bright "Dewey" Riley; new members of the cast include Parker Posey, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, and Jenny McCarthy. Kevin Williamson wrote the original story, but the screenplay was penned by Ehren Kruger. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In Paul Verhoeven's wild sci-fi action movie Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a 21st-century construction worker who discovers that his entire memory of the past derives from a memory chip implanted in his brain. Schwarzenegger learns that he's actually a secret agent who had become a threat to the government, so those in power planted the chip and invented a domestic lifestyle for him. Once he has realized his true identity, he travels to Mars to piece together the rest of his identity, as well as to find the man responsible for his implanted memory. Verhoeven has created a fast, furious action film with Total Recall, filled with impressive stunts and (literally) eye-popping visuals. Though the film bears only a passing resemblance to the Philip K. Dick short story it was based on ("We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"), the movie is an entertaining, if very violent, ride. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Add Robocop 2 to top of Queue
The serialized story structure and barbed social commentary from comic book creator and co-writer Frank Miller earned critical respect in this satirical science fiction sequel directed by Irvin Kershner. Peter Weller returns as RoboCop, a futuristic cyborg fashioned from cutting-edge technology and the biological remains of slain Detroit police officer, Alex Murphy. Still patrolling the city streets, RoboCop is scheduled by his creator, Omni Consumer Products, to be replaced by a new "superior" model, RoboCop 2, that according to designer Juliette Faxx (Belinda Bauer), will contain the human remains not of a cop but a criminal. In the meantime, an instantly addictive drug called Nuke is sweeping through Detroit thanks to a kingpin named Cain (Tom Noonan). Taking Cain to task, RoboCop is captured and dismantled. When he's put back together, the cyborg is reprogrammed with a series of socially conscious commands (in a sly mocking of the then relatively new concept of "political correctness") that render him impotent as a law enforcer. Taking charge by rewiring himself with an electrical overload, RoboCop arrests Cain, who is injured in the process. Faxx secretly takes Cain's brain and inserts it into RoboCop 2, turning the robot immediately into a law-breaking murder machine and leading to a violent showdown between two generations of robotic crime-fighters. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Loose Cannons may be a wacky buddy-cop comedy, but it starts with a chilling premise. It seems that a film is discovered that depicts the final moments of Adolf Hitler's life. The climax features young German officer Von Metz, who is seen putting Hitler to death. Von Metz (Robert Prosky) is now running for chancellor of West Germany. If this film gets out, his political career is finished, so Von Metz has arranged for the murder of anyone who has seen the film. The killings have taken place in the Washington area and Mac (Gene Hackman) and Ellis (Dan Aykroyd) are sent to investigate the crimes. Mac is a middle-aged veteran of the force, a professional who gets things done. But Ellis is a different ball of wax. Suffering from a multiple personality disorder, he has spent two years in a Benedictine monastery to recover from his problems. But he is far from cured -- as Mac discovers, whenever Ellis is confronted by violence, he blacks out and begins to assume the characters of popular culture icons like Popeye, Captain Kirk, and the Road Runner. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

In this vaguely allegorical science fiction-crime film, a Los Angeles cop tries to solve the murder of his best friend with the help of his new partner -- a member of a star-faring alien race. In the near-future world of Alien Nation, the "Newcomers" are a race of formerly enslaved humanoids seeking refuge and integration into Earth society. These unusual immigrants face anger and resentment from some humans, including Matthew Sykes (James Caan), a cop whose partner, Tug (Roger Aaron Brown), was killed in a shoot-out with several Newcomers. In order to get some insight into Newcomer society and track down the "slags" who killed Tug, Sykes volunteers to take on a new partner, Sam "George" Francisco (Mandy Patinkin), the first alien ever promoted to the rank of detective. As Sykes tries to overcome his bigotry against George and his kind, who eat raw beaver and get drunk on spoiled milk, the friendly, helpful George soon learns the identity of Tug's killer: William Harcort (Terence Stamp), a pillar of Newcomer society who is secretly manufacturing the same powerful narcotic that was used to enslave his race. It's up to Sykes and George to stop Harcort before he turns his fellow Newcomers into drooling addicts and pulls the skeletons out of his race's closet for all of humankind to see. Omen 3 director Graham Baker made his screenwriting debut with Alien Nation, as did co-writer Rockne S. O'Bannon. Kenneth Johnson, creator of the miniseries V, would adapt Alien Nation into a weekly television show in 1989 and several made-for-TV movies in the mid-'90s. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Big Good-Bye
The Enterprise's Holodeck malfunctions, trapping Captain Picard in a recreation of 1941 San Francisco. In the tradition of the earlier Star Trek episode A Piece of the Action, Picard finds himself smack-dab in the middle of a film noir-style gangster melodrama, with familiar movie stereotypes abounding (two of them played by "cult" actors Lawrence Tierney and Dick Miller). As if this weren't enough, Picard is pestered by hostile aliens who demand that he give them their undivided attention. Nominated for a Best Cinematography Emmy Award, "The Big Goodbye" was written by Tracy Torme, and was first telecast January 16, 1988. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In director/writer Curtis Hanson's 1987 chiller The Bedroom Window, architect Terry Lambert (Steve Guttenberg) experiences a most disorienting turn of events when his French lover, Sylvia (Isabelle Huppert) - the wife of his boss - walks over to the titular window in-between lovemaking sessions and witnesses a mysterious man strangling a helpless victim (Elizabeth McGovern). By the time Guttenberg comes to the window, he can see only a crowd of spectators. Because Sylvia wants to avoid a messy involvement in the case (which would soil her reputation, ruin her marriage and cost Lambert his job), Guttenberg agrees to pretend that he witnessed the attack. The ruse, of course, leads to a myriad of complications. And meanwhile, with the psycho still on the loose, Lambert sets out to find him. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Alan Alda wrote, directed, and starred in this satirical film about the corruption of the film industry's approach to history. Alda plays Michael Burgess, a college professor who has written a historical novel about the American Revolution. The book has been turned into a script, and a Hollywood film crew descends on his North Carolina hometown to make the movie. Predictably, the director and actors make a mess of his concept, and Burgess becomes frustrated as the town is turned upside down. Desperately, he tries to salvage his concept with some last-minute script changes. To make things more complicated, Burgess falls in love with the glamorous female lead in the film, Faith Healy (Michelle Pfeiffer). Meanwhile, his long-time girlfriend, Gretchen (Lise Hilboldt) is pressuring him to get married. The film's male star, Elliott James (Michael Caine), finally shows up in town and becomes Burgess's rival for Faith's affections. Silent film star Lillian Gish appears as Burgess's smother. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

One of the earliest feature films to reflect the video-game craze of the 1980s, Disney's Tron stars Jeff Bridges as computer programmer Kevin Flynn, who becomes part of the very game that he's programming. Flynn's principal antagonist is his glory-grabbing boss, Ed Dillinger (David Warner), who likewise metamorphoses into a video-game character. The title character, a computer-generated superhero, is played by Bruce Boxleitner. Though antiquated by 1990s standards, Tron represented the last word in special effects back in 1982. Surprisingly, despite its long-range influence on the movie industry, the film was a box-office disappointment when first released. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add The Beastmaster to top of Queue
This low-budget entry into the sword-and-sorcery cycle of the early '80s wasn't successful during its initial release, but has steadily built a strong cult following over the years. The Beastmaster tells the story of Dar (Marc Singer), the son of a king who was stolen from his mother's womb by a witch under the command of vicious sorcerer Maax (Rip Torn). A poor villager saves Dar from being sacrificed and raises him as his own son, teaching Dar how to fight and witnessing the boy's ability to telepathically communicate with animals. Their happiness is destroyed when their village is attacked by the evil Jun horde, a race of beast-like warriors controlled by Maax. Dar vows revenge and journeys to his father's former kingdom to destroy Maax. Along the way, he falls in love with gorgeous slave girl Kiri (Tanya Roberts) and teams up with former royal guard Seth (John Amos). Dar also uses his powers to enlist the aid of an eagle, a panther and two adorable ferrets named Kodo and Podo. Together, Dar and his unlikely but brave team square off with Maax in an impressive two-part finale that involves a swordfight on the side of a pyramid and a showdown with the Jun horde near a flaming moat. The resulting film was full of action and eccentric surprises, but failed to make an impression at a box office already glutted with fantasy films. However, The Beastmaster eventually became a serious cult favorite thanks to home video and extensive exposure on cable (it is the second most aired movie on TBS after Gone With the Wind). This enduring popularity led to two sequels and a syndicated television series chronicling the further adventures of Dar. ~ Donald Guarisco, Rovi

In this subpar Canadian film, Sophia Loren is Angela, a prostitute who has decided to become a waitress after she gets pregnant by Ben Kincaid (John Vernon) and needs a better way to support her baby. When Ben gets back from service in the Korean War, he does not believe Angela's little boy is his, and after he starts working for his old mob boss, he says he cannot continue as long as the boy is in the house. So his boss Hogan (John Huston) has the child kidnapped, which triggers Angela to seek revenge, and she informs the police about Ben's planned robbery. He is caught and goes to jail for more than two decades, and when he gets out, his only goal is to get even. Meanwhile, Angela has worked her way up to the ownership of an elegant restaurant and has fallen in love with handsome young Jean Labrecque (Steve Railsback), who delivers meat to the kitchen -- without either knowing at the time that they are mother and son. With dim lighting, a dim script, and dim chances, this turkey was quickly made into dim-sum and shelved in video cassettes. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The fourth Planet of the Apes film is set in 1991, 20 years since the assassination of talking, time-traveling apes Cornelius and Zira at the end of Escape From the Planet of the Apes. The couple's infant son, Caesar (Roddy McDowall), has grown to adulthood in the care of kindly circus owner Armando (Ricardo Montalban). Meanwhile, a plague has wiped all dogs and cats from the face of the Earth; speechless primitive apes have therefore been domesticated and turned into first pets, then servants of humankind. Caesar becomes outraged at the treatment of these simian slaves and accidentally reveals his powers of speech in front of the militaristic authorities, who kill Armando when he tries to protect his friend's identity. His cover blown, Caesar kick-starts a revolution that pits chimps against humans, paving the way for eventual ape ascendency. Caesar was the second of McDowall's three Planet of the Apes characters; he also portrayed Cornelius in the first and third films and Galen in the short-lived 1974 television series. After taking over the franchise with this picture, Hollywood veteran J. Lee Thompson would become the only director to helm two Planet of the Apes films when he returned for the fifth and final installment. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Auckland Council Debates Alternative Transport Funding
Remember in February when through the casting vote from the Chair of the Strategy and Finance Committee denied the ratepayer to have a debate on whether asset sell downs could be part of the options available to fund our mega transport projects (Alternative Transport Funding) (see Time to Go? post)? Well that Alternative Transport Funding proposal has found its way back into the media with this article from Stuff:
Motorists to pay for city transport projects
Taxes and charges could bankroll projects
Auckland Council is to present a proposal to the Government advocating fuel taxes, congestion and network charges and additional car parking fees to help pay for the city's major transport projects. The user-pays charges will be considered by the council on Thursday to help fund a second harbour crossing, a $2.8 billion city rail link, major works to quicken road trips to Whangaparoa, rail links to the airport and an east-west link.
What I like about the article is this bit:
Aucklanders will get a say on the plan before any final decisions are made.
The report follows a discussion document released earlier this year entitled "Getting Auckland Moving". Eighty-five per cent of submitters felt additional funding was needed to pay for the city's transport needs. The five most popular options were tolling on new roads, regional fuel taxes, congestion charging, development contributions and additional car parking charges.
Yeah well it seems only the tax and more tax options were available with the Centre Left denying any chance of being able to debate any of the other options (that is if we got a debate at all in the first place – not token consultation that was in the end ignored (will soon see come Thursday))…
But yet the reason why the media are starting to run with the Alternative Transport Funding proposals again is because the Auckland Council Governing Body on Thursday are due to hold an extraordinary meeting; in that meeting is Alternative Transport Funding.
Here is the Addendum Agenda covering the Alternative Transport Funding proposal:
Bit of a large and somewhat complex read.
So lets see what new taxes and charges I am going to get slugged with – just to live in Auckland
Oh and as for alternatives for my rather large transport proposals I had in my submission to the Auckland Plan, lets see I was open to the idea of asset sell downs.

General News of Thursday, 30 April 2009
Source: GNA
Accra, April 30, GNA - Mr Antwi-Boasiako Kyere, Deputy Minister of Employment and Social Welfare, on Thursday said government appreciated the tremendous contribution of workers towards the development of the country.
"We salute them on this May Day and want to assure them of government support in all they do", he said. In a May Day message to workers during an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra, he said, "They need to redouble their efforts in terms of improving their production and productivity." Mr Antwi-Boasiako said government stands by its pledge to respect and recognize workers and to ensure that their skills and knowledge are improved.
He said President John Ata Mills is committed to his pledge to invest in the nation's human resource including workers in ensuring that they have the skills, knowledge and attitude towards the development of the country.
Mr Antwi-Boasiako said the government would re-skill the labour force in view of the dynamic nature of the world of work because training and retraining is important to his development agenda. "We would create jobs for middle manpower that is why we have a programme of increasing the number of polytechnics, vocational and technical institutions," he said.

My expertise in local search includes time spent as CTO and EVP of Technology for go2 Systems, one of the early players in the market for local search platforms, products, and services. I led go2's talented technical and product development teams in the company's efforts related to both wired and wireless local search platforms, as well as the company's e-commerce and m-commerce (mobile commerce) offerings. Before go2, I was Chief Technologist for Rand McNally & Company and in charge of software development efforts for commercial and consumer mapping, routing and navigation software.
In today's economy, more local companies are turning to online advertising and away from local newspaper and yellow page advertising in an effort to capture more local customer revenue. At the same time, many Internet players are focusing on local search as a method of increasing revenue and profit. While the market is wide-open at this time, local search is a complicated and demanding service requiring sophisticated production systems. If you want to achieve success in the local search market, the time to move is now. A qualified local search consultant can help speed up the process.
If you are new to local search, let TeleMapics help you and your team to develop and successfully execute projects key to the profitable growth of your business. Read our blog Exploring Local to help get you started.
If your Company is experienced in the local search market but not reaching your market share goals, we can help provide the boost that you need to innovate your way to success.
The Local Search marketplace is expanding by leaps and bounds. Analysts at U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray predict revenues for the industry will more than double by 2014. Universal McCann has valued the local search market (which includes traditional and online publishers) at over $100 billion. Challenges
Finding the "sweet spot" in the local search market requires a large ensemble of complex skills. We believe firms competing in this marketplace will need core competencies focused on their ability to create robust, extensible and easy to use platforms that meet the needs of both customers and advertisers.
Advertisers utilizing local search want to make sure that you can connect them with their customers through spatially relevant traffic volumes and geographically relevant advertising placement. Geo-targeting techniques can help you and your advertisers fuse ads with search content in a manner that enhances your customers' opportunity to close sales while increasing your revenue. The Advertiser requires qualified buyers in a location where their product or service is available.
The potential customers using local search are looking for a service that provides the relevant products or services near them. Creating a local search platform that efficiently provides these matches in a targeted geographic context requires high quality location data, geo-targeted advertising, efficient search algorithms and careful planning of human factors interfaces surrounding the search algorithms.
Creating maximum revenue generation from local search platforms is full of difficulties for those who are unfamiliar with: issues of spatial data quality (coverage, currentness, attribution and metadata), geo-targeting, the semantics of spatial search queries and the application of spatial data in geographic analysis, mapping, and navigation. In addition, expertise on high performance computing and infrastructure development is a must. TeleMapics' Local Search Consulting can help you find your way in these critical areas of local search and help ensure your success in the market for local search.
Our Local Search Consulting Includes these Specializations:
Development of local search/directory systems.
Analysis of your existing local search service strategies and recommendations on best practices relevant to the local search market.
Development of geo-targeting strategies.
Assessment and selection of service providers critical to success in the local search market.
Development of strategies for creating new local search products and services.
Development of superior technology strategies for local search platform providers

Nutrition Notes from a Seminar by Brenda Davis |
Brenda Davis is an amazing resource for nutritional information! I highly recommend that you get a copy of her internationally best selling book, Becoming Vegetarian, co-authored with Vesanto Melina and Victoria Harrison. Here are some excerpts from a recent seminar in Seattle at the EarthSave Taste of Health event. They apply to non-vegetarians as well. Click here to buy from Amazon
Zinc: Zinc deficiency can stunt growth, impair taste and appetite and compromise one's immune system. It can be tough to meet recommended intakes from natural sources and even tougher to absorb sufficient from the diet, so it is important to consume whole grains (refined grains have less than a third of the zinc provided by whole grains, legumes (including tofu and/or tempeh) and nuts and seeds in the diet.Ā Soaking legumes, sprouting grains, roasting nuts and seeds and raising breads with yeast will increase zinc absorption.Ā If you take a multivitamin/mineral supplement make sure it contains zinc (about 5 mg for children and 5-10 for adults), in addition to selenium and magnesium.
Calcium: Calcium is necessary for the maintainence of optimal bone health.Ā However, calcium intake accounts for only about 11% of calcium balance.Ā The most important factor in calcium balance is calcium excretion which is most adversely affected by protein and sodium. The more protein and sodium you consume, the more calcium you need. Thus people living in countries consuming a high protein, processed food diet (i.e. typical North American diet) require more calcium than those living in countries with a cereal-based food economy. Great plant sources of calcium include fortified soy milk, dark greens (broccoli, kale, collards, Chinese greens and other low-oxalate greens are best -- oxalates found in spinach, Swiss chard, rhubarb and beet greens bind with the calcium in these foods making it unavailable for absoption), raw almonds, sesame seed paste, legumes, figs and blackstrap molasses. Davis also mentioned that 50-70% of the calcium from most low oxalate vegetables is absorbable as compared to 32% in cow's milk.
Protein: She cites the World Health Organization's recommendation that 10-15% of your calories come from protein. In her book, Becoming Vegetarian, she gives specific recommendations for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. When sufficinet calories are provided from nutritious plant foods, total protein intake is generally adequate.
Amino Acids: If protein intake is questionable, lysine is most commonly the limiting amino acid. If you focus on getting enough of this one, the others tend to take care of themselves.Ā Including legumes (ie. beans, lentils, tofu) on a daily basis is the simplest way to do this. She states that soy provides an excellent balance of all essential amino acids and is the most versatile of all legumes.
Iron: Black tea and oriental green tea contain tannins, which when combined with iron form an insoluble compound. Try to avoid drinking at the same time as meals. Milk and cheese are low in iron and can decrease the iron availability from accompanying foods by up to 50%, thus it is important not to replace meat and poultry with cheese and other dairy products when switching to a vegetarian diet -- meat and poultry are best replaced by legumes.Ā Cooking in a cast iron skillet can increase the iron content in foods by 2-16 times. Vitamin C increases iron absorption from other foods 2-3 times. Blackstrap molasses is a good source of iron, potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6. I use it to sweeten my Pero instant natural beverage, a caffeine free coffee substitute. I like Pero, but dislike the taste of coffee. Although spinach contains a lot of iron, it also contains oxalic acid which binds to the iron making it unavailable for absorption. Spinach is still a good source of other nutrients, however.
Oils: The three oils she uses are flax seed, canola and extra virgin olive. Davis recommends Omega Nutrition organic flax seed oil(or other organic, fresh pressed flax oil), but cautions that it spoils very quickly and must be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. One teaspoon a day is all most people need, although more may be beneficial for some people. I take 1 tablespoon to make sure that I finish the bottle before it spoils (you may wish to freeze half if you prefer to use less). Flax seeds are our best plant source of omega 3 fatty acids, which tend to be lacking in most diets (omnivores get much of their omega-3's from fish).Ā Omega-3 fatty acids are precursors to hormone-like substances called eicosanoids which help regulate numerous body systems. They are necessary for the proper development of healthy cell membranes, including those of the brain and eye.Ā Most people get insufficient omega-3's in their diet and are well advised to reduce their use of omega-6 rich oils (corn, sunflower, safflower, etc.) and increase their use of omega-3 rich oils such as flax and canola oil (flax is far more concentrated in omega-3's).Ā Other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include dark greens, tofu and other soy products, walnuts and wheat germ.Ā Don't cook with flax seed oil, and take vitamin E with it to help counteract any free radicals reactions that may occur due to its unstable nature.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D: In addition to calcium and weight bearing exercise, vitamin D is also an important factor in bone health.Ā Light skinned people need 10-15 minutes of warm sunshine to the hands and face per day to get their daily requirement of vitamin D, while dark skinned people need 1/2 hour or more. Both dark skin and sunscreens reduce vitamin D formation.Ā Some foods are fortified with vitamin D and are particularly useful for insuring sufficient amounts during cold months where vitamin D production from sunshine may be limited or non-existent.
Riboflavin and B12: Riboflavin and B12: Vitamin B12 is found primarily in animal foods, so if you are consuming a plant-based diet, you need to have a reliable source of this nutrient.Ā Seaweed, while often assumed to be an excellent source of vitamin B12, contains a mixture of vitamin B12 and B12 look-alikes (analogues that do not function like true B12 but attach to B12 receptors thereby potentially contributing to a B12 deficiency). Claims have been made that blue-green algae may be an exception, but further research may be needed to varify this. A great source of B12 and riboflavin is fortified nutritional yeast. This is not the kind of yeast you use to make bread (nutritional yeast does not leaven bread). She recommends Red Star T-6635+ vegetarian support formula (most other brands are not fortified with vitamin B12, thus are not sources of this nutrient -- read the label).
Wheat bran: Wheat bran is an excellent source of insoluble fibre making it a reasonable addition to the diets of those who consume low fibre, animal-centered diets.Ā However, vegetarians who use plenty of wholegrains, legumes, vegetables and fruits generally get plenty of fibre, and daily use of wheat bran may reduce mineral absorption and/or make the diet too bulky for small children.Ā Apparently, this does not apply to oat bran (which provides soluble fibre), and is still considered effective at reducing cholesterol (according to the latest clinical studies).

Has anyone read Binet Payne's "Worm Cafe"?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
Curious to know whether anyone else on the forum has read a book called "The Worm Cafe" by Binet Payne. It is about setting up a mid-scale vermicomposting system, in the author's case, in a school. Would be interested in opinions from those who have read it. Jay? Anyone?

Drama to explore UK-wide blackout
5:35am Thursday 22nd August 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
A new drama will use mobile phone footage and amateur actors to show what might happen if the lights went out in Britain.
The Channel 4 show, called Blackout, will examine the effects of a devastating cyber-attack on the national grid.
It follows events over five days after a nationwide power cut, showing how the general public, the police and hospitals try to deal with it, and mixes scenes shot on phones and camcorders with footage recorded during actual power cuts and other emergencies.
Director Ben Chanan said: "I'm delighted Channel 4 have commissioned such a bold and experimental programme, cross-cutting actors with video bloggers, shooting drama on mobiles, taking an anarchic approach to filming Britain in anarchy."
The show will be broadcast in September.
Nick Mirsky, Channel 4's deputy head of Factual, said: "This is completely new and innovative way to dramatise our total dependence on electricity by asking what would happen if Britain were to be plunged into darkness - not for a few hours, but for five days."

in response to Steelman:
How exactly does raising taxes, which takes money OUT of the economy, help the US economy recover? Our economy is 70% consumer spending. Taking money from that sector is not wise. What you don't hear is government needs to cut spending and live within its means which would be the best solution.
In 1994 President Clinton and the Democratic Congress, without a single Republican vote, raised marginal income taxes slightly. In turn they set off the largest economic growth in the history of the human race, balanced the budget, began to pay down the federal debt and gave us the longest stretch of full employment since the end of WWII.

Answered Questions
Will implants alone lift the breasts or will I also need a breast lift?
Due to weight loss my breasts are slightly saggy. I am only a B cup size. I want to have the breasts enlarged but I also want them lifted. Due to their small size, will getting implants also lift them? If not, and if I also need to have a breast lift, can both procedures be done at the same time?
A common misconception is out there, that breast implants will "lift" your breasts. This is really an optical illusion because filling your breasts with additional volume pushes the nipple forward and away from the chest and it appears as though your breasts have become higher on the chest. However, adding volume (implant) doesn't shorten the distance between your collarbone and the nipple. Only a re-shaping operation like a breast lift can do that.
I advise patients to determine if they want better shape of the breast or increased volume of the breast, or both. Once they understand the concept that volume and shape are two different matters, it is much easier to determine which procedure is best for your individual set of circumstances. After all, it's your body and you should ultimately be the one to decide what you want to change, and we as plastic surgeons can best advise you on the best way to get there. In any event, any board certified plastic surgeon is more than qualified to make your dreams come true.

If you don't like it move to Hawley. At least there you won't have to worry about progress, $100/yr in school taxes, or paying for in door plumbing. Your constant griping and moaning is doing no one any good. Really-- tell me where you live and when you want to move and I'll come over and help you pack your stuff so you can get out of this town. Heck, I'll even pay for your U-haul rental and hire some college kids so you won't have to even lift a finger.
I appreciate that business leaders and administrators are forging ahead to create new opportunities for Abilene's kids. Let's wait until more of the facts come out before we believe this hypothetical BS that Donny keeps throwing up on his computer with.
This is a step in a positive direction and those do not come around very often in Abilene.

He will face the same task at Clover as the Blue Eagles went 2-20 in the previous 2 seasons.
Opponents can expect the Blue Eagles to continue to run the wing T offense as Smith ran it with great success at Easley.

When I was a Freshman in college I took an excellent sociology class from one of the most respected criminal anthropologists in the field.
Not only was this man deeply interesting but he gave us some of the most enlightening and uncomfortable homework assignments to illustrate the expectation of societal norms in our day-to-day lives. For example, we had to answer the phone but instead of saying, "Hello?", we had to say nothing. We had to get into a crowded elevator and then turn around and face everyone without saying a word. We had to walk up the escalator on the right side and stand still on the left.
It was super uncomfortable and super enlightening about just what happens when you go against the rules of society.
I am the worlds BEST gas station customer.
My consumption and love of Diet Coke is legendary and I am one of the few who can walk into several gas stations in a 10-mile radius and ask for "The Usual". I have a great relationship with several people who work at these places.
Then there is this one guy.
I have been interacting with him for months.
He sticks out and it is for a reason.
And I mean ANYTHING.
Not, "How can I help you?", "What can I get for you?", "Thank You", or even a small "Hello" or "Bye". I've even dropped things and been apologizing my head off and his expressionless face doesn't even twitch as he picks up the dropped item and utterly ignores my apology. And I am the sort of person that suffers from intense pressure of speech. The LESS this man said to me, the more compelled I was to just sit there yakking my head off and sputtering at him.
But he never uttered a word.
It has been really weird.
I have wondered what this man is really like.
Does he ever talk to anyone? Does he ever smile? Or does he even get angry or frown for that matter?
Is his entire life just one expressionless and monotonous cycle?
Today, I was driving and running errands. It was really hot out and I had promised Aaron a little treat. (Which was really just an excuse to go and imbibe in The Dark Waters that is also known as Loralee's Crack.) I had my adorable little Maltese, Lady, in the car with me. She was sitting on my lap looking like the cute little fluffy cotton ball that she is.
Mr. Deadpan was at the drive-thru window.
I asked for a soda.
He said nothing.
Then I added, "Could you also throw in some kind of kid's sucker? I don't care what kind."
He silently picked up a bucket full of small DumDum suckers like they hand out at banks. I was delighted and told him thank you.
He ignored me.
He rang up my order and I signed the sales slip and gave it back to me.
Not a smile, not a word, not any indication that he was even speaking and interacting with another human.
I thought to myself, "Maybe this poor guy has no other choice but this and he just really, really hates his job."
And then something happened.
He reached down on a shelf under the counter and unscrewed the lid to a big jar of jerky, held it out to me and he said something.
The traffic was really loud and I was confused at why this guy was shoving jerky at me.
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't hear you…what did you say?"
"I said, 'Would you like a treat for your little dog?'"
I was stunned and almost speechless.
"THANK you. That is one of the nicest things I've ever seen anyone do!"
And for just a moment, a brief moment, THAT MAN SMILED.
And I have rarely seen so much revealed in such a small moment in a person.
It doesn't take much of a person to show kindness to a small child who is sitting in the back of a hot and stuffy car. Especially if it is establishment custom to give kids a treat.
But WHAT kind of kind and gentle person would THINK to take care of a stranger's dog in that situation?
It was a very big learning moment for me.
I have often been surprised that people find me intimidating. That is the LAST thing in the world I feel I am or even want to be. I am the one that walks into a room and am hoping that someone, anyone, will come and talk with me. I want to get to know people, I really do. But, and this shocks many, I am actually a bit shy and intimidated.
Everyone uses the term "Judging a book by its cover" but I think that "CHOOSING a book by its cover" is a more powerful statement.
Because you never know what you will miss if you exclude a book of great wisdom, humor, or knowledge, simply because of the package it is wrapped in.

Her development as a musician included not only workshops and performances at the prestigious festivals Telluride, Old Settler's Music Festival and the Country Music Association Festival, but also jamming with Ricky Skaggs and Earl Scruggs on national television. The release of her debut Song Up In Her Head, produced by John Prine and Chris Thile collaborator Gary Paczosa, gave bluegrass a new voice, and earned Jarosz her first Grammy nomination. Earning three Austin Music Awards for Best Female Vocalist, Best Country/Bluegrass Artist, and Best Folk Act, the young musician now takes center stage in Studio 6A.

More awards and recognition for NKU anthropology
Britteny M. Howell
Congratulations to NKU anthropology part-time professor Britteny M. Howell. Howell, who is also a Ph.D. candidate in medical anthropology at the University of Kentucky, was awarded a $29,000 National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant from the Arctic Social Sciences Program for her upcoming research in Anchorage, Alaska. She was also awarded the Leslie White Award ($500) from the Central States Anthropological Society for this work. Here's a little information about her project:
The goal of this research is to examine the sociocultural factors that shape diet and physical activity practices as they influence nutritional status outcomes among Alaska Native elders (adults aged 65+ years) living in Anchorage. This study will (1) identify and evaluate the influence of sociocultural factors on dietary and physical activity patterns among urban Alaska Native elders, and (2) identify relationships among the sociocultural environment, diet, physical activity and nutritional status outcomes (BMI) in this population. This nine-month-long mixed-methods study employs participant observation, semi-structured interviews, food frequency, physical activity questionnaires and anthropometric techniques. Anthropometric measurements will be used to determine BMI and the prevalence of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity and will be tested with multiple regression techniques to determine the nature of the relationship between sociocultural factors and nutritional status outcomes in this population.
Processing acorns for food: November 16 (10 a.m.-3 p.m.)
Location: Big Bone Lick State Historic Site
This class is the last one of our yearly series of classes that brings the knowledge and technologies of prehistoric American Indians and applies it to the modern age. Acorns are an abundant food supply during times when there is little else available. The acorns are easy to gather, and the best part is they don't fight back; unless one drops on your head while you are gathering them. As a survival food they are great; however, they must be processed correctly or this food supply can make you very ill due to the tannic acid present in the acorns. Learn what acorns to look for, where to look for them and how to process them during this informative hands-on class. Registration required. Cost: $20 per person.
"My Life and Research Among the Navajo"
NKU annual Native American Lecture Series presents NKU anthropology professor Charlotte C. Schaengold, Ph.D., November 21 at 4:30 p.m. in MP 304. Refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public as part of the celebration of Native American Heritage Month in Kentucky. Sponsored by the NKU Native American studies program, the NKU Department of Sociology/Anthropology/Philosophy, and the NKU First Nations student organization.
Making cordage from plants: Jan. 25 (10 a.m.-3 p.m.)
Location: Big Bone Lick State Historic Site
Native Americans were experts in surviving out in the wilderness. The paleo-tech series of programs is designed to bring prehistoric knowledge and technologies back to life in case you are ever faced with a modern-day survival situation. This year we kick off our season by showing people how to make cordage and rope from plant fibers. Cordage has been one of the most useful tools throughout history, yet few people, even though cordage is used all the time, know how to make it. This class will take you step by step through the process of collecting the proper material, how to process it, and how to actually make it into usable cordage and rope. Registration required. Cost: $20 per person.

Sue Ott Rowlands named VP for academic affairs and provost
Sue Ott Rowlands
Sue Ott Rowlands has been named vice president for academic affairs and provost effective January 6.
Rowlands has served as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University since 2007. Leading one of Virginia Tech's largest and most complex academic colleges, she manages and mentors more than 900 faculty and staff who serve more than 3,800 undergraduate and 1,600 graduate students. Rowlands oversees a $40 million annual budget that includes more than a dozen academic programs and 18 research centers.
"I am excited to welcome Sue to the NKU community," said President Geoff Mearns. "Her collaborative and engaging leadership style, her commitment to student success and her experience consistent with our anticipated strategic plan – particularly her work in fostering and supporting trans-disciplinary activities – make her an ideal choice. In addition, the search committee and I were impressed with the breadth and depth of her academic experience at several prominent universities."
Rowlands brings a diverse background in higher education that she said will serve her well at NKU. "My experience spans several types of institutions," she said. "My career includes two of the nation's largest and most respected research institutions, but also a metropolitan public university, a private urban institution and a small liberal arts college. Each of these experiences has helped develop a unique perspective on our role as educators. I believe we are bound by a common responsibility to serve our students and provide them with the best possible preparation for their roles as global citizens and lifelong learners."
As vice president and provost, Rowlands will oversee NKU's academic programs and support services. The deans of the university's six colleges – Arts and Sciences, Haile/U.S. Bank College of Business, Education and Human Services, Informatics, Health Professions, and Chase College of Law – will report to her. She will also oversee the W. Frank Steely Library as well as the offices of enrollment management; information technology; research, graduate studies and regional stewardship; university programs; the honors program; the International Education Center; academic planning and assessment; and administration. The NKU Division of Academic Affairs includes a staff of more than 500 people and an annual budget of more than $120 million.
Rowlands replaces Dr. Gail Wells, who earlier this year announced plans to return to the faculty at the end of the calendar year. Wells has served more than 30 years at NKU and nearly a decade in the provost position.
Prior to her service at Virginia Tech, Rowlands spent five years at the University of Toledo, first as professor and chair of the Department of Theatre and Film and then two years as interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. At Toledo, she helped strengthen the college's advising programs in an effort to enhance recruitment and retention for what was then the largest college at Toledo, with 19 departments serving 3,000 undergraduate and 600 graduate students.
She served as chair of The Ohio State University's acting/director program from 1997 until 2002, overseeing curriculum, recruitment and assessment for the program that enrolled more than 300 undergraduate students and 20 Master of Fine Arts students. Prior to her time at OSU, she was head of the acting program and assistant professor in the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University in St. Louis. She also has extensive international teaching experience, with visiting faculty appointments in Sri Lanka, Hungary and New Zealand.
Rowlands earned a Master of Fine Arts in acting and directing from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor of Science in education from Oklahoma Christian College.
She is the proud mother of two daughters and three grandchildren.
