However, as an "alternative universe" HPL, it can be quite interesting at times, and some of the artwork is evocative, to say the least. I just wish they'd marketed it as a Lovecraftian vision or "a tale of H. P. Lovecraft and his mythos" rather than playing on the completely erroneous idea that it in any way resembled the man's life or personality. When it comes to the popular media -- especially graphic novels -- we have yet to see anything even vaguely approaching that aspect..... Nesa: yes, they are beautiful volumes, and the contents are well worth getting. They don't just repeat things from the previous volumes of the set, but bring in all sorts of tales, from his fantasies to his horror to his westerns to his humorous regional stories to his tales of the crusades, as well as a nice selection of some of his verse. They don't contain all his best (which is actually a surprisingly large amount of work), but they're a very good sampling, and well worth the price. | |

Have brain, will travel | Re: Book Hauls! My friend and I went on an epic tour of Exeter today, searching for independent bookshops (she's writing an article for the student magazine about them) and managed to find five before running out of steam (it was epic trek). Yet despite going into five different bookshops, I surprisingly only bought one book: 65 Great Spine Chillers (authors include Stephen King, H.P Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, John Wyndham, Roald Dahl, Ambrose Bierce, Saki, Bram Stoker, Evelyn Waugh (woop, big fan of him) and many others). |

| Re: Book Hauls! I just got back from a holiday with the family down in Melbourne (aka Gollum Town) and didn't get to as many book shops as I would have liked, but managed to haul enough to get a "more bloody books" comment from the cheese and kisses. All lovingly secondhand bar one. Timescape by Gregory Benford Fairyland by Paul J McAuley A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Hyperion by Dan Simmons Mockingbird by Walter Tevis The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe and The Goldilocks Enigma: Why the Universe is just right for life by Paul Davies, which was a gift (I used to read alot of books like this). and I almost picked up Zelazny's Damnation Alley, but the cover was a really cheesy movie tie in. I'll look for an older version. |

Southern Gardening: Choose color for containers
Ambitious gardeners and their beautiful, themed gardens amaze me every year with their creativity. With the Independence Day holiday upon us, the most popular theme right now is red, white and blue plantings.
I have always wanted to do one of these themed landscape displays, and in my line of work, you would think it would be no problem and assume I've done several. But like the shoemaker's kids who run around barefoot, sometimes my own landscape suffers during the busy seasons.
I decided this past weekend that, by golly, I was going to have a themed red, white and blue display of my own.

text: %0 Book %D 2008 %T Asian American art : a history, 1850-1970. %L N6538 .A83 A835 2008 %P xxiii, 547 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. %X This book represents the first serious survey of art produced by Asian Americans. Like most histories of the art of minorities in the United States, the bulk of its information is on the twentieth century, for which there are more documentary sources and more remembered artists. Nevertheless, the volume offers an able synthesis of recent scholarship on Asian American art, and the endnotes following each chapter provide ample opportunity for further exploration. The chapters, which are arranged via a mixture of theme, medium, and geography, were each written by a different author, exposing the reader not only to a diversity of artistic production, but also to different scholarly methods. The book also provides helpful biographies of individual artists, as well as a chronology of Asian American art and history. One of the book's weaknesses is that it does not cover the relatively small number of Asian immigrants who arrived in the United States before 1850, but this is a mostly minor omission. For information on Asian American artists since 1970, one should consult the exhibition catalogs Asia/America: Identities in Contemporary Asian-American Art and One Way or Another: Asian American Art Now.

It's time we stop calling some remakes "remakes".
The term "remake" is for movies that change aspects of the original movie from which the material was based, and not for calling every single adaptation of a movie like so. For example, Breck Eisner's The Crazies is a remake, because it changes the handling of the material radically. Fincher's Dragon Tattoo is not a remake, but an adaptation of the (overrated) book.
I also want to voice out my opinion that Hollywood needs to slow down and think about their "remakes". "Remakes" should be for movies that need to be re-made into a better movie. The Crazies mentioned above is a great example of this for it improves upon Romero's average original. Why can't Hollywood re-make Romeo is Bleeding or Hooper's Eaten Alive but put out unnecessary stuff like Total Recall (still gonna see it though) and Arthur? Them greedy mongers.
While I agree with you, I'd much rather hear "remake" than the ultra-pretentious "reimaging."
My preference is for Hollywood to start turning original scripts into films and stop rehashing crap.
Writers of America do need to think originally, but don't all concepts or ideas deserve equal treatment, even in being remade? Yes, Hollywood does need to stop giving us the same movie twice (i.e. The Hangover Part 2), but at some point, not-so-good movies should be the basis of remakes.
I disagree, I think there are many "original" scripts go there that go no where cause studios have no balls. And so many writers have been mortally Wounded being shot down so often they stifle themselves. No country has the edge on creative writers, there is greatness everywhere, but finding acceptance to originality is greatly wanting all over the world.
My stomach churning came with the two throwbacks at Peckinpah that came out last year: the Straw Dogs remake (redundantly re-set in the U.S.), and the new adaptation of the book upon which Peckinpah's The Killer Elite was based. I wouldn't mind if the people involved weren't so pedestrian and actually tried to elevate what had been done before into something more meaningful than merely tracing over the original or using the source material as means of doing what has already been done in other films hundreds of times before. The audience, say of them what you will, deserves far better, especially the part of the audience containing my generation. We're smarter than this, we've far more potential than Hollywood bank vaults like to make us believe we have.
I am also getting tired of the number of sequels or reboots or adaptations Hollywood puts out, but I'm just saying that sometimes we just have to work with what he have, only selectively of course. I began thinking of this right after I saw the remake of The Crazies two years ago. It was so much better than the original Romero because it erased the political critic-ness and gave us straight-up horror. After watching it, I kept on thinking why can't Hollywood give out better versions of not-so-good movies. Sure, we all need to think originally more often, but some adaptations do deserve a chance.
A Stop the Lists!-based thread
I thought one spam thread was enough.
Edit – turd
Spam thread? At least it's not mailorder whores from India.
Take it easy Tommy, let's not get racist here. I can write some nice abuses for you Americans as well if I want to, but I wont degenerate to your level.
I think it's you that needs to take it easy. I'm not being racist at all. There Was a flooding of spam threads that popped up through the night that only a few were able to see and make fun of. They were more than likely moderated before many others were able to see.
I am sorry to say Tommy, but there were other ways to point out those spam threads. I am aware of which threads you were talking about, but the way you said it was clearly racist. You may deny it now, but whores from India is not a very neutral statement. Anyway, my original comment was simply a joke on the topic of this thread so I don't want to hijack it. I am out of this.
Get a fucking grip dude.
I think we can all agree Tommy's no rascist… come on now.
mailorder whores from India pretty aptly describes those spam posts. Maybe it isn't PC enough for some…
^ I thought we established pretty clearly that they weren't in fact mailorder.
What the fuck are you talking about? The whores are not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT… Also, Dude, whores are not the preferred nomenclature. Sex-workers, please.
Whoa, whoa people, settle down! I'm close to playing moderator.
@rohit: If you think that this is a spam thread, then clearly you don't know what a spam thread is. If you think that the title A Stop the Lists!-based thread is spamming, then you don't know what a spam thread is. I was gonna say A Stop the Lists!-inspired thread, but words didn't come to me at the time; still, that's not an excuse for accusing me of spamming. Besides, do you see one forum spam here? No.
@ari: are you talking to me? I didn't say anything about mail-order whores/prostitutes/ladies-of-the-night.
I once wrote a research paper on how this remake tendency is going to kill Hollywood, take a look at the great scripts they turned into movies on the forties and fifties! Stuff like IT happened tomorrow, Kansas city confidential and so many of the films directed by foreign filmmakers that most of the times came from UFA. All these Ophuls, Lang, Ford stories would blow everyones mind if they were made today, and if studios stopped making the same films over and over (not just as remakes, but everything that reaches theatres worldwide) and making super hero films.
People being prepared to watch non american films is another issue, but it is a fact that the audiences are growing tired of the kind of films they are watching today and looking for new sorts of enterntainment more than ever (series and online movies).
I love it whenever someone's trying to quote The Big Lebowski around me, but Ari, I'm sometimes slow whenever someone does.
Let's get back to remakes: As long as there are nice, gift-wrapped surprises, they're fine.

While I am working on the surface, my mind wanders across an internal landscape of memories and experiences. Questions that are difficult to answer in the rational world arise in my mind. Growing up with a mentally ill parent impacted the way I view and react to the world around me.
To me, my artwork is a means to express my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I will work intuitively focusing on my thoughts to create textural environments and these environments will become a strong expression of my internal self. I intend to express my feelings in every one of my individual works through the use of color, space and line. Each one of my pieces shall represent an emotional stepping-stone within my life and find their own spot in the art world

I actually always go to Darnassus. The lag in Stormwind and IF on my server is ridiculous, but Darnassus is pretty empty. It's a short distance from the portal to the AH, and there's a mailbox just outside the AH.
I suppose if I were using a lowbie bank alt I would be annoyed by the distance between the bank and the AH, but on my main, mounted, it doesn't bother me. *shrug*

The results reported this morning in the December 2012 BLS Employment Situation (PDF) release were lackluster – essentially a continuation of November's performance.
The creation of 155,000 net new jobs kept pace with natural growth in labor force and the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.8% (November's value was revised upward 0.1%). The most broadly defined unemployment measure (U-6), which adds to the count of people seeking jobs those who are discouraged, marginally attached to the workforce, and involuntarily working part-time, remained unchanged at 14.4%. Likewise, the labor force participation rate was unchanged, remaining at a low 63.6%. There remains a large body of unemployed and underemployed workers yet to be fully re-engaged in the US economy.
The public sector lost 13,000 jobs. In the private sector there appeared to be an early end to the holiday season, with retail declining 11,300. Transportation and Warehousing and Temporary Help both declined slightly at -0.6 each. Sectors showing relative strength were Health Care, Food Services, Construction (some impact from Sandy) and Manufacturing. The average number of hours worked edged up slightly.
The BLS revised downward its November estimate of Temporary Help employment. This suggests that late 4Q seasonal hiring did not sustain the temp hiring upward momentum seen in October.
With little new to focus on in the BLS statistics, most of the business news sources devoted their attention to exploring the possible connections between the employment performance and the fiscal cliff turmoil and/or the Fed's monetary policies.

The Specter of Biological Weapons; The Science of War: Weapons; Exclusive Online Issues; by Leonard A. Cole; 5 Page(s) In 1995, on a whim, I asked a friend: Which would worry you more, being attacked with a biological weapon or a chemical weapon? He looked quizzical. "Frankly, I'm afraid of Alzheimer's," he replied, and we shared a laugh. He had elegantly dismissed my question as an irrelevancy. In civilized society, people do not think about such things. The next day, on March 20, the nerve agent sarin was unleashed in the Tokyo subway system, killing 12 people and injuring 5,500. In Japan, no less, one of the safest countries in the world. I called my friend, and we lingered over the coincidental timing of my question. A seemingly frivolous speculation one day, a deadly serious matter the next. |

Ensure variable from .asp loaded before used by Flash.
Hello again
I am loading variables into Flash from an .asp file using: loadVariablesNum ("http://blah.com/layout/info.asp", 0); One of these variables is called picnumberdefault I am trying to load the jpg into a clip called the picture by using the following: _root.thepicture.loadMovie ("http://blah.com/pics/" + picnumberdefault + "pix.jpg"); Unfortunately this gets called BEFORE loadVariablesNum ("http://blah.com/layout/info.asp", 0); has had a chance to load the variable picnumberdefault so the picture does not get loaded. Is there any way to ensure that the variable picnumberdefault is loaded from the database BEFORE _root.thepicture.loadMovie ("http://blah.com/pics/" + picnumberdefault + "pix.jpg"); is called? PHEW! Thanx. |
You might want to use a looped if-then-else statement to continually look to make sure the variable has been loaded, then when it is loaded, have the loop load the movie. I don't know ASP, so I couldn't give an example of code, but logically, that should work. Just make sure to set a limit on the number of times it loops.

Tusca - Hyatt Regency Orange County
Online Reservations
I absolutely loved this restaurant and the menu options. Their tiramisu without a doubt has been the best BEST I ever had in my life. I appreciated the staff addressing me by my name. It made me feel appreciated and wanted - not as if I was just another guest.
This place was definitely a good find. The whole experience was a positive one.
I took my mother for mothers day 2013, we had never been to TusCa before and she really enjoyed it. The dining area is inside but you fell like your outside. Its an open layout inside the Hotel, but all the windows floor to ceiling make you feel like you are outside. The staff was amazing, the food was very good, more meats at the carving station is my only complaint, they only had pork.... I would go again especially for mothers day. It was reasonably priced and for 10$ more you get unlimited champagne for mothers day brunch. I would recommend this place, and I eat out quite often, i would say BELiSIMO!!!!!
Had some awesome drinks. portion size is small. we are vegetarian so the options are limited. food is good.....little on expensive side but worth the ambience and service.
Outstanding waiters and waitresses. Excellent service, very attentive to customer needs. Thank you.
We ate here on a Travel-zoo deal. We started off with the Antipasti Misti. So glad we did. We enjoyed the smoked Italian meats and sampled some unique cheeses (including one with truffle dust... yummy!) The Misti came with an assortment of "condiments" including fig paste, walnut halves, honey on the comb, sweet baby gherkins, house-made mustard, and more. What a treat to the palette! We both ordered the grilled salmon (artichoke capanota, potato gnocchi, micro basil). Very well presented and tasty. Salmon was nicely seared on the outside, yet still moist and tender on the inside. Dessert was homemade and wonderful, too! Our waiter, Kamar, was provided excellent service! Atrium atmosphere is upscale and modern.
The atmosphere is very open and beautiful. I did not feel like I was trapped inside a small building. The food was aptly priced and was very delicious (Tiramisu was to die for). Service was excellent, did not have to wait long for a waiter to come help us. Would definitely return again!
I don't expect a lot from a hotel restaurant. This one is located right next to the lobby, so that is why a low score on ambience, although it does look nice enough. The food was very good. I had risotto with scallops and prawns and the portion was large! Great bread with a sampling of olive oil, roasted garlic, and white bean puree for spreads. Excellent service! Overall I was surprised how good the food was and how much I enjoyed my experience.
Tusca should advertise their breakfast buffet on their website. I went to Tusca with my boyfriend for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to find out they offered a buffet breakfast that included coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was great. They even offered a made to order omelet bar.
My husband, sister and I dined at TusCA on November 2, 2013, since we were staying at the Hyatt. Made reservations for 6pm (right when they open for dinner), in order to catch a 8PM concert at the Honda Center. Our server Taylor was made aware that we were catching a 8pm concert, and we wanted to finish our meal before 7PM. She went out of her way to make sure that our food was delivered in a timely fashion, and when the soup I ordered didn't come out in time due to a kitchen ingredient glitch, and both our server and the TusCA manager both went out of their way to make sure that we were satisfied with everything even though we completed the meal before 7pm. All the food that we ordered were delicious - We will return!
Went for girls night out dinner, party of 4. Awesome experience! Service was outstanding, server was attentive, made great recommendations, brought all the extras we asked for, kept our table clear and our glassed full. Perfectly paced meal! Had calamari and white bean soup for appetizers, both were yummy. For dinner, we had the braised short ribs, the pan seared scallops, the clam linguine and the frutti de mare pasta. All prepared as described in the menu, all delicious. They know how to make the sauces for all these dishes and seasoned them well (you know that's what can really make or break a dish!). For dessert, had the caramel apple tart, tiramisu, and pistachio cake. All quite different, all quite good. Recommended!
I dine at Tusca quite often for mainly breakfast and/or dinner. This location is inside the Hyatt hotel in Garden Grove. It is open and airy and the food is always cooked to my liking. In addition to the great food, the service is definitely world class. Our server was beyond attentive and **everyone** we came into contact with was incredibly friendly, caring, and willing to accommodate us in anyway possible. It is just an overall wonderful experience when we dine at Tusca, which is why we continue to return.

This line starts on a thin, right foot on the face and two wide, inward hands. This first move and half is the crux and is probably where the name comes from. Once you attain the large jugs midway up, the gritty of it is over with. Follow the jugs to the single bolt 5 feet from the TR anchors.
This line is to the right of Roll the Bones. Start on the block right of the tree and left of the left-leaning, ugly rail.
This line does certainly go on gear. Use c3s and rock pro around the crux. I am not really sure why the single bolt was placed. The top half is more of a runout.
totally fucking awesome, fully engaging climb. The author is correct in that the gear is very small and thin but very good, the runout to the top is all there but unprotected.
I think the bolt might have been meant as a right variation to Roll the Bones since there is a fairly easy traverse and would protect the end of the traverse over. It's like 3 feet from the top anchors so it's hard to understand why it would have been placed there otherwise since the top half of this route is like a 5.2 and it is REALLY close to the end. Though, I have no idea why you would do this right variation since the end is super easy. Pretty odd. I really liked the opening moves till you get to the jugs. We used some fun stemming to start it up. Dropped a top rope since the routes we wanted to do were busy and even though it is super short, I think it is worth doing. Also there is a nice BD helmet lodged behind the tree/rock near this route as of today. Thought about taking it since it is going to get ruined sitting out there and is tucked away in a spot not frequently climbed. So if it is still there for the next climber, someone should give it a home. Would make a better brain bucket than no brain bucket.

June 19, 2010 Administration to sue Arizona over immigration law
They've been threatening to do it for weeks so it's no big surprise - except perhaps the timing.
Huge majorities like the AZ immigration law and it's a safe bet that the White House waited until the issue cooled off before dumping this news on a Friday afternoon: The confirmation comes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with a TV station in Ecuador earlier this month that the administration would challenge the law in court, though officials had long said the issue was under review. Brewer is being a little disingenuous. To be shocked by anything this administration does is to have been asleep for a year and a half. They're not telling the governors of Louisiana and Alabama how much of their coastline is affected by the oil spill so why should they tell Brewer they're about to haul her into court? I'm afraid the Supreme Court has a history of siding with the feds in battles like this so it is more than likely that AZ will lose. But as a shot across the bow to the federal government, not to mention a potent campaign issue, Arizona has already given us a great victory. |

1.3.7 Corporate connections continued One issue that might be added by a workers' organisation or trade union, for instance, might be that of freedom of association and the right of workers to organise. Another might be the right to collective bargaining. In fact, the coverage of the codes of conduct vary considerably depending on who instigated the code and the parties involved (Pearson and Seyfang, 2001). Most codes of conduct, it seems, are top-down affairs, drawn up by the companies involved or by trade associations. Some hav

Aside from outside firms being able to p 1.1.2 Activity 1 You have already glanced at Figure 1 and some of the worki 6.6.1 The Royal Commission on environmental pollution scenarios The UK's Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution produced (RCEP) its 22nd report Energy: the Changing Climate in June 2000. The Commission examined what changes would be needed in Britain's energy systems if, as suggested by the various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001), it should prove necessary to reduce the country's emissions of greenhouse gases by about 60 per cent by 2050. The Commission investigated the various possibilities very tho 3.1 Introduction So what are the principal energy systems used by humanity at present, and how sustainable are they? Until quite recently, human energy requirements were modest and our supplies came either from harnessing natural processes such as the growth of plants, which provided wood for heating and food to energise human or animal muscles, or from the power of water and wind, used to drive simple machinery. 2.4 Natural science valuation: towards ecological restoration While the previous two subsections dealt with the social sciences, the ideas of ecology represent more the natural sciences tradition. In the early years of controversy around how to practise sustainable development, some concern was expressed about the perceived bias towards social rather than natural sciences. Bryan Norton (1992), for example, is critical of the social scientific approach. He argues that reliance on standard economic and other social scientific tools will not be enough to e 4 Further reading For information on changes to flora, click on Science magazine.

There is an old military maxim that 'A plan only gets you into first contact with the enemy. After that, you fly by the seat of your pants' (Anon). A 1993 IBM report on business continuity planning confirmed this when it revealed that 'half of the plans failed completely or substantially when they were first tested' (IBM, 1993, p. 5). The IBM report identified three categories of pla 4.1 Introduction Annual costs to employers from accidental injury and occupational illness are on the order of 5–10 per cent of the gross profits of UK industry. The total social cost, including the cost of benefits and National Health hospitalisation and treatment, make this a truly staggering drain on the nation's coffers! 2 Setting priorities Consider whether the relative economic aspects should determine the degree of priority given to different aspects of the risk scenarios in Author(s): Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should be able to: define risk in the most appropriate way, and appreciate the need to prioritise risks; appreciate the costs of illness associated with workplace activities; describe in outline the development of models used to explain the cause of incidents and to promote prevention; recognise the multiple causes contributing to many incidents, and be able to represent them diagrammatically; 4.5 The Kew Gardens Millennium Seed Bank Appeal Acknowledgements The material acknowledged below is Proprietary, used under licence and not subject to Creative Commons licensing (see terms and conditions).

One such model was developed in the 1950s and 1960s by Abraham Maslow. Although it exists in many variants it is generally known as Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. In the most common interpretations it places the fundamental material needs of survival, such as food, shelter and safety at the base of a triangle, rising through social needs of belonging in human society, to 3.2 The agreement to protect the ozone layer After a decade of controversy about the possible effects of CFCs, in 1985 British scientists discovered over the Antarctic a quite unexpected 'hole' in the ozone layer which was the size of the USA. This helped to galvanise the international community into action (though some who took part in the negotiations claim it played little part). By 1987 the first international agreement to control substances damaging to the ozone layer, the Montreal Protocol, was established. Interestingl 2.4 Changing environmental attitudes So, from the start of the Industrial Revolution, people have been aware that the development of an industrial economy brings problems as well as benefits. But the benefits, in terms of productive capability, mobility, convenience, cheap consumer goods, and profits, were usually felt to outweigh the disadvantages, particularly by those in positions of power. Many of the accompanying negative factors, such as poverty and unemployment, or the creation of more destructive machines of war, if they 6.1 Introduction The international level can be viewed as an arena of politics in its own right and not just as a context for states and other actors. If we think of the international world in this way, how should relations between states, and other actors on the international stage, be constructed? To what extent should those relations be regulated? We can ask whether relations between states, and states' policy making, should be dictated by allegedly universally shared human rights principles, or by other o 3.2 What are rights? The modern discourse of universal human rights has a number of features. The idea that everyone, everywhere has rights refers to the concept that there are certain entitlements justifiably owed to all individuals by virtue of certain features that all human beings have in common. As the nineteenth-century French politician and historian Alexis de Tocqueville put it, the idea of rights 'removes from any request its supplicant character, and places the one who claims it on the same level as t 1 International human rights: an introduction There are many examples of claims for rights in the international sphere. One example was reported in September 2002. The British government was asked to make efforts to have a British man held by the Americans at Guantanamo Bay deported to Britain to face charges of terrorism there in connection with the attacks on 11 September 2001. Concerns were expressed about the denial of this man's human rights at Guantanamo Bay. Are alleged terrorists entitled to human rights? Can the denial of 3.2 Migrations of life As biologist and pioneer environmentalist Rachel Carson once wrote: 'the stocking of the islands has been accomplished by the strangest migration in earth's history – a migration that began long before man appeared on earth and is still continuing' (Carson, 1953, p. 66). Austronesian voyagers may have been the first people to venture far into open water, but many other species, as Carson suggests, have also found ways of negotiating passages across the ocean.

Sony Online Entertainment believes that it has lost an estimated 127,000 credit card numbers; meaning 24.6m accounts have been compromised.
The games developer has confirmed it was attacked by hackers last month and that user data has possibly been compromised. The attack took place between April 16th and 17th.
"Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems," a statement from the company reads.
"We are today advising you that the personal information you provided us in connection with your SOE account may have been stolen in a cyber-attack. Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password.
"Customers outside the United States should be advised that we further discovered evidence that information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) – we will be notifying each of those customers promptly."
The firm does believe that its main credit card database appears to be safe.
As a result of this, all SOE games have been taken offline, a security firm has been hired to investigate what happened and security is being further enhanced.
SOE also recommends that users should change their passwords to other services if they were the same as their Online account or Playstation passwords.
"Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible," SOE added. "Sony takes information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information. Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is our utmost priority."

20* Big 12 GAME OF THE WEEK on Iowa State -8.5
20* Big 12 GAME OF THE WEEK on Iowa State -8.5
Oklahoma vs. Iowa State, 02/18/2012 13:45 EDT, Score: 69 - 80
Point Spread: -8½/-110 Iowa State
Sportsbook: JustBet
Result: Win
The Iowa State Cyclones are a legitimate NCAA Tournament team. They really need this win Saturday to assure that they stay on track to make the Big Dance for the first time since 2005. I believe they win in a double-digit blowout against overmatched Oklahoma here.
Without question, Iowa State is the most underrated team in the Big 12. The Cyclones are 18-8 in all games this season, including 8-5 SU & 9-3 ATS in conference play. ISU is 13-2 at home this year, outscoring opponents by 9.2 points/game.
Oklahoma enters this contest on a five-game losing streak. That includes a 77-70 home loss to Iowa State, and blowout road losses at Kansas (62-84) and at Texas Tech (47-65). That was the Red Raiders' only Big 12 win of the season just to show how bad that loss was.
Oklahoma is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games after 3 or more consecutive losses. The Cyclones are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games. These two trends make for a 12-0 system backing the Cyclones. Plus, the Sooners are 25-52-3 ATS in their last 80 road games. Bet Iowa State Saturday.

Miscarriage is tough on Dad, too.The goal of every pregnancy is to bring home a healthy baby, but unfortunately not every pregnancy ends that way. Last year my wife and I experienced a miscarriage, something that occurs in approximately 10 to 20 percent of all known pregnancies. While a miscarriage is something I wouldn't wish on any couple, I wanted to share my experiences with other men who might be going through the same thing.
My first point is obvious, but it needs to be made: you and your wife will be sad. You've both spent a number of months imagining a future with your baby, but after a miscarriage all of your hopes and dreams are dashed. This is very difficult, and you should understand that it's okay to grieve for the loss of the life that you and your wife were preparing for.
Related: 8 books to help you cope with a miscarriage
While grieving, though, it's important to be there for your wife. A huge reason for this is that, in addition to all the feelings men and women both experience, women are also often plagued by guilt that they or their body failed the baby. My wife felt this way, and though I told her it wasn't true, that didn't do much to placate her feelings. Eventually I realized that it was best to stop trying to "fix" the problem and instead simply offer her love, comfort, and support.
There's another reason to try your best to support your wife: she will be dealing with physical pain on top of the emotional pain. In the best situation ("best," of course, being relative to an incredibly lousy situation) a woman will have light bleeding and cramping for a couple weeks, but if she doesn't pass the tissue she may have to have a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure. My wife needed to have this done at our local hospital, and there's no getting around the fact that the whole day was very depressing. A D&C is not a procedure to make you healthier (or to bring a baby into the world), but to resolve something sad. Though this day is emotionally taxing on both you and your wife, your wife will also physically experience the pain and discomfort of the procedure, not to mention the recovery period. Again, she will greatly benefit from your love, comfort, and support.
I've stressed the need to take care of your wife, but I must also stress the importance of taking care of yourself, too. If you need to cry, do so. If you need to talk to some one, reach out. You shouldn't be afraid to talk to your wife about your feelings either. As someone who has experienced a number of losses with my wife, I strongly believe that we grew closer as a couple by grieving together. Don't lock each other out on what is happening in your hearts.
Lastly, do your best to remain hopeful. Though it may not seem this way when it is happening, there will be a new beginning. Regardless of whether that is a new pregnancy or another path for your family, it's important to look forward in hope. -By Mike Sphor

0There's quite a Theory — Praxis gap here, but her group has already taken steps along the path she proposes, and it's a good thing for culture-makers, game-designers, and policy-makers to keep in mind.
[ted id=799]
I find it especially amusing that the "Social Fabric" she discusses runs along the same lines as the descriptions of social bonds/cohesion that are developed and affirmed by gaming (in my research's case, it was with tabletop rpgs, a predecessor of MMOs). So I suppose I would count as a part of the "researchers have shown…"
For me, there's two main points here — identifying that the kind of engagement that MMO players achieve is something that can be well put to work, and also the notion that by imagining our future, we can influence/create our future — which is an idea well-known in the Science Fiction/Speculative Fiction/Theory world. Judith Butler would agree with William Gibson in this, I believe.
The hard thing here is getting enough people to care enough about the games that she's suggesting that they put in the time and effort — then you also have to have a game where the result are directly applied to enact social/technological/scientific/economic change, or that the game has a direct effect on these issues/matters. So there's a social trick (get the players), a design trick (make it relevant), and a policy trick (do something about it).
But for all the difficulty jumping the Theory-Praxis chasm, there's good ideas worth spreading here, in keeping with the TED mandate. I've put "Give a TED Talk"on my list of life goals, btw. Just you wait.
Whither The Whedon?
4Here we see an open letter to Joss Whedon from The TV Addict –
Rumors from last year have already presented the possibility that Whedon could give up TV and return to an internet-based model as seen in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Dollhouse has been assured a full 13-episode run for the season, but there is no word of picking up the back 9 (ordering more episodes to make a full 22-episode season), and there's also a rumor from Brian Ausiello that Dollhouse will be benched during November sweeps. All of this seems to point to Dollhouse not surviving past its second season. Only time will tell, but the show's renewal last season was a big surprise to many, and seemed to revolve around the fact that Whedon proved he could make the show for less money (see the post-apocalyptic "Epitaph One" for his example of lower-budget Dollhouse)
TV Addict does some quick math to speculate that a core audience of 2 million viewers buying straight-to-internet downloads at $.99 a pop yields a revenue of just under 2 million dollars per episode. Add in merchandise sales, DVDs and possible syndication, it seems pretty reasonable. There are also some other possibilities for budget-cutting, including shooting in video vs. digital (which then reduces the max quality of the material for DVD, a trade-off to be sure). There's also the fact that a pilot episode can cost several times as much as a regular series episode due to start-up costs. Whedon and Mutant Enemy are a reliable entity, known for producing fan-favorite, intriguing material but recent lack of success with TV properties on network TV, which makes them an ideal case study for considering this change in model.
My girlfriend is more knowledgeable and interested in industry/funding/marketing than I am, but she's in class in California right now — and I'm thinking out loud at least partially as a creator. Plus, this is my blog. However, she's likely to come around and correct some of my numbers and/or add her opinion.
For Whedon, using a model adapted from/close to Felicia Day's The Guild may prove as a starting point (and likely informed his approach with Dr. Horrible). Find investors for start-up costs (Pilot + 8 episodes) and make it go. Whedon's fan community would reliably do vigorous viral marketing without having to be asked. Everyone in the geek-o-sphere (amusing name, TVAddict)
A show like this would probably live and die on the efficacy of its marketing campaign. Dr. Horrible was free to watch for a short period of time, and then became digital download only — it later ended up on Hulu for free and then became available by DVD (with extras, natch). If this new Whedon show were available online for free for X period of time (a week per episode?), and was also sold via iTunes/etc., would enough people pay to download it to sustain the show's budgetary requirements? DVD sales of Whedon/Mutant Enemy material is consistently strong, but without the advertising revenue as a primary source of funding, it's intriguing to ponder if a high-ish-budget show could survive in this model. Felicia Day's The Guild is free to watch/download and pays for itself off of advertising and alliance with MSN (to by knowledge) — but it also appears to be a very cheap show to produce, with less than 10 minute episodes and little to no special effects.
If one production company can do it, doesn't mean that any others could. Auteur/Star Power goes a long way in the digital world, but it goes as far as those consistent 2-million-ish viewers, not necessarily further. The Long Tail Theory probably applies here, where a figure/group famous within a subculture (geeks) can serve as a sufficient base for demand — without being The Next Big Thing like LOST or Heroes.
What Abut Going Cable?
An alternative would be shopping shows to cable networks — where the ratings demands are lower (and therefore, so are budgets, often times). Cable networks have been making critically-acclaimed shows for a number of years, and in recent memory, challenging shows like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Rome, The Shield, Mad Men and Breaking Bad have all come from cable networks and enjoyed popularity, critical praise/awards or both.
Whedon's shows Buffy and Angel survived on 2nd-tier broadcast networks (UPN and WB) rather than the Big Four. The lessened ratings demands of these 2nd tier networks allowed the shows to survive. Right now, the descendent of UPN/WB — the CW) occupies that median position, but is strongly branded towards teen girl dramas (Gossip Girl, 90210, One Tree Hill, or dramas that appeal strongly to the 18-25/49 female demographic (SF shows such as Smallville and Supernatural (which help court the beloved male 18-24 demographic). It's uncertain if a Whedon show would find a place in the current CW brand — certainly possible, given Whedon's feminist-friendly approach (for certain brands of feminists, that is — debate continues on the ultimate standing of Whedon's feminism), but not necessarily an instant match.
There's a few issues with the 'Go Cable' approach. Here are the big two for me:
1) If a show is on cable, it automatically cuts out a portion of the potential audience. Some dozens-ish millions of viewers have/watch TV but not cable. This reduces potential viewers (likely reducing ratings) but also can be seen as inherently elitist — if you're making shows for cable and have a social agenda (like promoting feminism or critiquing the capitalist system, etc.), you're already always speaking to a more affluent population (we're speaking in generalities here — there are better-off households who never watch tv, and there may be less affluent households that still decide to have and watch cable).
2) Ad space on cable networks is going to be sold at different rate sets than ad space on network TV. This goes back to the basic numbers of who has/watches cable vs. who has/watches network TV. Depending on the type of cable (basic vs. premium and all permutations), this can change how your show's budget is determined. Whedon may be able to make quality TV on a lessened budget, but those limitations inform what kinds of shows can be made.
A modern-day+something cool show is likely to be far cheaper than a futuristic SF or historical/otherworld fantasy show (props, sets, costumes, etc.) — Whedon has frequently done the modern-day+ settings (Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse) but I know as a writer/creator, I would blanche at the limitations of that reality. Brilliant shows like Defying Gravity may fail to succeed because of budgetary problems like the above.
Wrapping it Up
These questions aren't quite relevant for Whedon, et al. until/unless Dollhouse meets its end, but they are questions that need to be asked in general about the industry. We should be asking What purpose do these networks serve? Has technology developed to the point where other models are viable/recommended? What will it take to make those models viable, if they aren't there yet?
I think I might like to write for TV one day, but by the time I make it there, the landscape may be violently different, just as the publishing industry is going through a major shakedown (price-wars at big-box stores, Borders teetering on the edge, increasing technology for e-readers and digital distribution, etc.)
Dollhouse Renewed: Fox Spared Whedonites' Wrath
0Variety.com and i09.com are reporting that FOX has renewed Whedon's Dollhouse for a second season (information points at another 13-episode season order, and staying on the Friday timeslot).
This means that Whedon's declaration about swearing off television in exchange for doing internet-based work will probably wait for a little while longer, though Joss has been known to have more than a few projects at any one time.
Execs apparently enjoyed the last couple of episodes (as I did), and were convinced by strong DVR/TiVo numbers and the unaired "Epitaph One" as proof that the show could run on a smaller budget.
No word on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, its Friday night mate. While Dollhouse can run on a smaller budget, Terminator requires CGI/elaborate makeup cyborgs, and may not fare as well, despite/because of its willingness to break format/formula and experiment with structure.

Living in the future, it is so marvelous. We'll see if this goes anywhere.

Lindsay Lohan, the fibbing little minx, did me up like a kipper
I'm worried about poor old Jeremy Paxman.
He used to make news for his withering assaults on fork-tongued politicians, earning him the well-deserved sobriquet 'The BBC's rottweiler-in-chief'.
But then he morphed into the 'nothing-to-do-with-me-guv' journalistic hero who was nowhere to be seen when the Jimmy Savile scandal exploded at Newsnight, and, latterly, for sporting an absurd grey beard on air.
Jeremy Paxman is a man who positively drips in smug, sanctimonious, supercilious self-satisfaction
I've met Paxman a few times, and rarely encountered such a supremely narcissistic, pompous bore – a man who positively drips in smug, sanctimonious, supercilious self-satisfaction.
And also a man whose every waking moment is spent carefully nurturing his 'Paxo' brand.
I can just picture him looking at his flagging ratings (his show has at times dropped to 200,000 viewers) and thinking: 'Hmmm, time for The Beard. That will get them all talking about my favourite subject . . . me.'
He even wrote a lengthy article about The Beard, feigning shock at all the fuss it generated, when that was clearly the sole purpose of growing it in the first place.
Let me help you with the intellectual analysis of The Beard, Jeremy: you look like a cross between Steptoe and Harold Shipman.
One of the more amusing aspects of living in Hollywood during the summer is that the place entices so many tan-loving celebrity Brits to come out and roast their already deeply bronzed skin.
Tonight, I met up with Gary Lineker, his wife Danielle, my old Britain's Got Talent sparring partner Amanda Holden and her husband Chris.
All of whom were so mahogany-faced, I struggled to even see them in the candle-lit Beverly Hills restaurant where we dined.
Amanda's been writing her autobiography, due out this autumn, and if 'Loose Tongue Mandy' includes even half the things she's threatening to put in, I will have to flee to a Siberian eskimo's igloo, as will most of the nation's TV fraternity.
One stunning fact she did reveal was that she came very close to landing the role of Veronica Corningstone (eventually played by Christina Applegate) in my all-time favourite comedy, Anchorman.
Four months ago, I sat down with Lindsay Lohan in New York to conduct an interview for Event magazine. She was about to enter a rehab clinic for the umpteenth time.
'I'm going to tell you the absolute truth about everything,' she assured me.
'How many times have you taken cocaine?' I asked.
The explanation for why Lindsay Lohan lied to me about taking cocaine: 'Of course I said only three to four, because I was TERRIFIED!'
'Everyone thinks I've done it so many times. But I've only done it maybe four or five times in my life,' she replied.
'Yes, I don't like it. I took it four times in a period from about the age of 20 to 23.'
'People will be very sceptical that you've only taken cocaine four times,' I persisted.
'It's the truth.'
I looked into her big blue/green eyes, and I believed her.
As for alcohol, when I asked, 'Do you drink a lot?' she replied: 'Not really, I've never been a big drinker.'
Again, I believed her.
So much so that when the interview was published, and journalist friends of mine who've moved a little closer in Ms Lohan's social circle mocked me for my shocking naivety, I insisted that they were wrong, and I was right.
Tonight, I sat and watched Oprah Winfrey interview Lindsay, in her first public appearance since coming OUT of the clinic.
'I read that you said you'd really only done cocaine three or four times?' said Oprah.
'I really haven't done it . . .' Lindsay paused, and a slight guilty smirk appeared on her face.
'I really haven't done it more than . . . ten to 15 times.'
And then came the explanation for why she lied to me: 'Of course I said only three to four, because I was TERRIFIED!'
More from Piers Morgan...
- PIERS MORGAN: Sean Penn's a whirlwind of intensity and passion - but great fun, too 05/12/13
- PIERS MORGAN: It's official... I'm more popular with women than the whole of One Direction 28/11/13
- PIERS MORGAN: Monty Python are in danger of becoming the very thing they parodied 21/11/13
- PIERS MORGAN: I've always liked Jemima Khan - despite the fact she once dated Hugh Grant 14/11/13
- PIERS MORGAN: 'Piers looked fat and bloated,' wrote Amanda Holden. I put the book down 07/11/13
- PIERS MORGAN: If you'd invested £5,000 with Buffett in 1966, you'd have £150 million now 30/10/13
- PIERS MORGAN: Woman buzzed around Thierry Henry like mosquitoes - including my wife 24/10/13
- PIERS MORGAN: I'd been duped, conned and exposed as a global laughing stock 17/10/13
- PIERS MORGAN: 'Bullock!' I barked. 'What on earth are you doing down there?' 10/10/13
Ah yes, the sheer blinding terror of actually having to tell me the truth, as she had solemnly promised to do, must have been overwhelming!
'So what is the truth?' asked Oprah.
'I've done it like ten to 15 times,' she repeated. And this time, I looked into Lindsay's big blue/green eyes and didn't believe a single word.
My guess now is that she's probably snorted half the Colombian drug cartels' combined annual illicit exports. But who knows?
Like the moment you see your father creeping into your bedroom to eat Santa's mince pie, once the edifice of illusion crumbles, it stays crumbled.
As for Lindsay's drinking, Oprah asked: 'Are you an addict?'
'Yes,' came the reply.
'What is your drug of choice?'
The fibbing little minx did me up like a kipper.
I own one car, an Aston Martin Rapide that I keep at my house in LA.
My American assistant Juliana kindly takes care of it during my numerous absences.
Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found this morning when I ran out of petrol – and actually had to go to a station, and attempt to fill up the tank myself for the first time in a year.
This relatively simple act required one crucial piece of knowledge: the location of the fuel tank release button.
For 15 increasingly ludicrous minutes, I tried and failed to find it – even poring over the manual. It was a moment of excruciating embarrassment, where you just hope and pray nobody recognises you.
There was a tap on the passenger window, and I turned to see a blonde in hippy hotpants cackling with laughter at my discomfort.
'Need some help, darling?' she said, at which point my heart sank.
It was Amanda Holden.

text: Last night on the farm there were four lefty starters and two were phenomenal. Let's find out which: Lehigh Valley 8, Buffalo 4 After starting the season with 8 shutout innings out of the pen, Jack Egbert gave up 5 runs (2 earned) in the 8th that cost the Herd the game. Before that Garrett Olson started and gave up 2 runs over 6 innings. After playing the day before at second base Jordany Valdespin was back in centerfield, and at the plate he was 3 for 4 with a walk and his 2nd homerun of the season. Val Pascucci hit his 5th homer of the season. Adam Loewen, Bobby Scales, and Josh Satin also contributed 2 hits each. Binghamton 6, Portland 0 Darin Gorski was sharp once again pitching 6 strong innings allowing just a single hit and 2 walks while striking out 4. Elvin Ramirez is making waves himself this April. After 2 more scoreless innings and 4 strikeouts Ramirez has pitched 7.1 scoreless innings with 14 strikeouts and just 7 base runners. Armando Rodriguez also added a scoreless inning of his own. Travis Ozga led the charge offensively with 3 hits, including a homerun. Jefry Marte returned to the lineup with a couple hits. Eric Campbell also had 2 hits and 2 RBI's. Pedro Zapata drove in 2 runs, but is still hitting .160. St. Lucie 1, Palm Beach 0 7 innings This game was called one batter into the top of the 7th, but the Lucies are the beneficiary of what can be assumed was rain (or possibly a power outage). Chase Huchingson pitched the first 5 innings, striking out 3. He has thrown 17.2 scoreless innings to start the season. Taylor Whitenton pitched a scoreless frame and got credited with the save despite giving up a leadoff double in the 7th right before the game was called. Only 5 hits for the Lucies, but that was enough. Wilfredo Tovar had 2 of them and Daniel Muno had a double, his 5th of the season. Robbie Shields and Wilmer Flores had the other 2 hits. Hickory 7, Savannah 2 A 6-game winning streak came to a screeching for the Gnats as Alex Panteliodis gave up 4 runs (1 earned) in 4 innings. Tyson Seng's followed by giving up 3 runs on 6 hits in 2 innings. T.J. Rivera was held hitless for the first time this season, and to make things worse he committed 2 errors. The Gnats had more errors (3) than they did hits (2). Brian Harrison and Luis Nieves each had a single.

If he was a Billionaire, maybe he should have gotten a pilate instructor and lost like 150 pounds before he had his portrait painted, rather than expecting an artist to paint over his extensive flaws. I mean if Picasso had painted it, he would have had a Square Head and rectangular eyes with a Bull sticking out of his ass.
Your views are funny, and quite true. Nice to see someone around this pile of dirt-- has a point of view that is not so foolish! rich men light cigars with $100.00 bills --- poor men dream to be rich men and throw away hundreds of dollars on the lot-- mega bucks.. both silly..
Mankind throws away---- everything and then stands up and yells at his neighbor for doing the same thing... it's all so silly of course but at least one should learn from this and perhaps laugh.. heres to "bulls coming out of your bumm.."

Huge Inflatable Tubes Will Keep Subways Dry During Future Floods
The next time a massive storm rolls into a U.S. metropolis, massive inflatable tubes could protect the city's subway system from floodwater. The tubes are made out of a strong material that looks like interwoven seat belts, according to Dave Cadogan, director of engineering for International Latex Corporation Dover. When it inflates, the giant tube will rub against subway walls like an inner lining, and the pressure from the air inside of it will prevent water from bursting through the concrete.

The goal for Pointer is to make simple, well-designed casual shoes in response to a market that has become overwhelmed with technical trainers and limited editions. Based in London, the company is backed by a creative stable of friends and co-conspirators inspired and information by everything from art and music to skateboarding and breakfast.
Pointer is well loved amongst the staff here at Slaysh and is an obvious solution to any bad footwear problem. Here is an up close and personal look at the new styles that have made their debut appearence at the shop this week.
