Vaught, S. (2012). Freaks like us. New York, NY: Bloomsbury.
Jason Milwaukee is 17 and like his best friends Derrick and Summer, he shares a self-contained classroom with other "alphabets," so labeled because of their acronymic disorders. Jason is called "Freak" because the voices in his head perpetually echo that name accompanied by other epithets and visions because he has GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) and is SCZI (Schizophrenic). Derrick or "Drip" is ADHD while Summer is SM (Selective Mute), and it is her sudden disappearance after school one afternoon that triggers this compelling mystery. Freak's feelings for Summer have apparently morphed into romance, but will the friendship the three friends share be mistaken for his and Drip's guilt in her disappearance? Freak cannot verbalize his racing unsynchronized thoughts to uncover what he does know about Summer's despair and hopelessness.
Susan Vaught delineates Freak's character through first person narrative by using his rational observations accompanied by his troubled thoughts which only he can discern. This makes for challenging reading that is well worth the effort. Freak is much more than mentally unstable as Vaught meshes his illness into action, and the reader enters his chaotic mind. The fear and panic that engulf Freak are almost visceral as he tries to prove his innocence and find his friend.Freaks Like Us is a powerful reminder that there is something freakish in all of us—indeed, a novel to arouse empathy and awareness.
Dr. Judith A. Hayn is an associate professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Three Years After Stimulus Funding, Knowledge Corridor Rail Updates Get Going
It's been more than two years since the Massachusetts Department of Transportation secured $73 million in federal stimulus funds to speed up North-South Amtrak service in Western Massachusetts. And with construction underway on new railroad tracks, officials say faster passenger rail service along the I-91 corridor is on the horizon.
But first, let's be clear: technically there won't be any high-speed rail coming to the region.
"They're looking at top speeds of 79 mph. That is not high-speed rail, it is higher-speed rail."
That's Dana Roscoe, transportation manager at the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. He says while updates to the Vermonter line - which provides service between St. Alban's, Vermont, and Washington, DC - won't rival high-speed rail systems in Europe or Japan, it will be a big improvement over the current track's speed limit of ten miles per hour.
The line's new route through Western Massachusetts, known as the Knowledge Corridor, will restore passenger train service to Greenfield and Northampton, which haven't seen Amtrak trains since 1989. Trains will continue south through Holyoke. The state has allocated $2 million dollars for a new platform in that city as part of a transportation bill which Governor Deval Patrick signed last week. Finally, the train will reach Springfield's Union Station, which is set to be renovated by 2014.
In Greenfield, the new John Olver Intermodal Transit Center, completed earlier this year, awaits the return of trains. Maureen Mulaney is transportation manager at the Franklin Regional Council of Governments. She says the center is currently a central bus stop, and is positioned next to the future Knowledge Corridor tracks.
"It was set up so that you could exit the south end of the building, and go right to a future rail platform on the south part of the property."
South of Greenfield, in Northampton, there's no new station waiting for the train. The city's Union Station sits vacant, but the station isn't owned by the city, and there's no plan for the city to purchase it. Instead, future Northampton passengers will board from a waiting area next to Union Station, says Dana Roscoe.
"Really what we're talking about is like a glorified bus stop."
Roscoe says Northampton will have a simple, open shelter to serve as a waiting area - and no ticket booths.
"You'll purchase your ticket online, you'll purchase your ticket prior to boarding the train, you'll come here and it'll give you shelter from the weather, but...for a short amount of time."
But bringing train service to Northampton means moving it away from it's current stop in Amherst. The move eliminates a turn-around maneuver in Palmer which Roscoe says will shave 35 minutes off the trip. But to some Amherst residents who waited for the Amtrak on a Friday in July, a faster trip doesn't make up for the lost station. Gennah Copen lives in Amherst:
"I love the fact that this little station is open, I think it's quaint and beautiful, it's very convenient. Amherst is a nice spot for people to visit, and I think it's lovely that at least once a day you can come and go from here, and it makes me sad to think that this will close down."
Despite the town's outcries, the move across the Connecticut River is going forward. Rail updates should bring trains to Springfield faster, where they'll be greeted by the city's refurbished station.
Kevin Kennedy is Springfield's chief development officer. He says the city's new Union Station will include boarding and ticketing areas for Peter Pan and Pioneer Valley Transit Authority buses in addition to Amtrak. He says Amtrak plans to run up to sixteen trains a day from Springfield to Hartford and New Haven, up from the current seven. That could create competition with Springfield-based Peter Pan Bus Lines' service.
"It's one of those situations where commuter rail is going to have to learn to compete with bus, and bus is going to have to learn to compete with commuter rail. It's a matter of convenience, it's a matter of style, it's a matter of preference. But the pricing will be such that I think it will be economical."
But cities north of Springfield won't see that kind of frequent service in the near term. Amtrak will continue to run one train per day in each direction north of the city, from Northampton, up through the line's end in St. Alban's, Vermont. Dana Roscoe says in an ideal world, he'd like to see reliable daily commuter service between Northampton and New Haven, Connecticut. But even the current project is more than he ever expected would happen in Western Massachusetts.
"At the national level, if you'd asked me four years ago if what we're doing now could even happen, I would've said 'no way.' But then the president decided to put $8 billion into rail infrastructure, and we were lucky enough to have received some of that."
Roscoe says the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission anticipates a nearly 25% increase in riders over the first five years of the re-routed Vermonter line. But it's yet to be seen whether riders will get on board with that vision.

After we left the girls we stayed a few extra days in Pennsylvania with my mom and other family members. Good times!
Today's project is one I had submitted to Stampin' Up! for a monthly contest. I think the Petal Cone bigz die and Blossoms Petal Punch are still available to order - I can't find the information anywhere. If you know, I would love to hear! ETA. Yes, the Petal Cone die is still available. Thanks for the feedback!

Plus as I said above, it will help to sell the console to people who intend to use it for homebrew but later may buy retail games.
I understand your general argument - although that is incorrect (see PCs - people still pirate), but what I'm asking is - what useful homebrew has there ever been?
I don't wish to come across as whiter than white - I've tried homebrew on various devices and without fail, on all of them, it was utterly tedious and worthless - presumably why the orginators are prepared to give it away for free... Hence the question, what value is homebrew, apart from providing a means for people to pirate the system?
Of course, the underpinning of my comment is that piracy is a bad thing for us (the end users) but that is clearly not something everyone agrees with....
Oh, and I'll menition it again - PS Suite is the means by which legitimate home coders can produce their own original software for the device <- this should be enough.

Complete with slagging off the Xbox, wow, classy.
I feel I need to address the balancing here. I prefer my Xbox jet engine (which of course is ONLY because I have the old model, the new ones are consierably quieter than my PS3 once the fan ramps up in game) that I can game on instantly, to my PS3 which regularly decides it needs to take half an hour to download a game update before I can play the game.
Why oh why didn't Sony use simple patches like Xbox does? Although I do prefer the fact the PS3 keeps game updates forever, but that is a minor good point that would still work equally well with a patching system.
But what on earth does that have to do with people selling their Vitas or not?
Fact is I can't carry my Xbox in my pocket, so I choose Vita because its the closest to being able to do that. Its a typical Sony product though, rough around the edges (figurtively speaking), but its better than anyone else has to offer by far and I love it.
So there you see, you don't have to bash the competition needlessly. At least have a viable argument if you are going to.

Just to balance it out even more - my PS3 has never taken half an hour to download any game patch (obviously not the HUGE ones that take time on both platforms).
My 360 S is still much louder than my PS3.
Your 'rough around the edges' comment is pretty much spot on though. Sony love to develop updates once hardware is out, look at the PS3 for proof. Vita will only get better.
to be fare though PS3 pacth's do tend to be a lot bigger than 360 ones.
Though I do not find PSN slow at all.
my 80GB ps3 sounds like a helicopter as does one of my slims and my old style 360
But I have one ps3 and two new style 360 that sound fine.
But when I have my turtlebeach ot tritton headset on i do not here tham anyway.
I love to game and TBH I don't care what it is on which is why I own them all.

I disagree with that for the most part. Yes smart phones and tablets have made an impact but that impact is not as significant as you may think. If nothing else games on those mobile platforms cannot compare to the top quality games on dedicated handheld game consoles. Plus these devices cost a lot more then the games consoles. Even the phones on co tract over a long period you end up spending a lot more money on them.

That changed when her fourth book, "Binocular Vision", was lauded last year on the cover of the New York Times Book Review. It went on to garner more splendid reviews along with a bouquet of awards, prestigious nominations and perhaps most gratifying: a wider audience.

The Tigers used a 9-0 first-half run to extend their lead to 25-13 on the way to a 37-25 halftime advantage. The Majors were still within 12 at 52-40 midway through the second half before DePauw embarked on a 20-6 run which put the game away.
Jenna Fernandez paced DePauw with game highs of 28 points and 12 rebounds for her first career double-double. Cassie Pruzin added 13 points, while Pruzin and Gretchen Haehl each dished out six assists. Emily Marshall grabbed 10 rebounds as DePauw held a 44-33 edge on the boards.
Tiffany Whitmore paced Millsaps with 13, while Crystal Dickerson and Jessica Bowie each scored 11. LaReina Adams and Bowie each grabbed eight boards and Dickerson dished out five assists. Bowie also blocked four shots.
The Tigers shot 44.3 percent for the game, but hit 50 percent in the second half. Millsaps connected on 40 percent from the field but just 36.4 percent in the second half. DePauw committed just 11 turnovers in the win.
The victory was also DePauw's 37th straight SCAC home win and its 40th straight home regular season win.
DePauw travels to Southwestern on Friday, February 1 for a 6 p.m. CST game.

RICL: Keep private or make public?
Rock Island Clean Line (RICL) is a private company intending to build a high voltage transmission line through Iowa and Illinois. It's likely you've noticed the white "Block RICL" signs along local roadways. Its opposition has become a heated topic among agriculturalists, landowners, legal professionals and concerned citizens.
First consider the disadvantage to Illinois' utility customers. The minimal power that will be sold to Illinois customers will be sold at projected rate 50 percent higher than existing prices. Illinois has gone to great lengths to build a renewable energy infrastructure: Wind turbines, natural gas power plants and hydroelectric power make up a safe and reliable system.
A public utility company should be transparent to the stakeholders. Rock Island Clean Line has been very deceiving and misinforming the public. For example, they have been trying to get landowners and county governments to sign contracts and agreements before the project has approval. They have also filed motions to hide information. Private energy companies, like Enron, were focused on hiding information by calling its plans "confidential" or "proprietary." RICL is following suit. We do not want another energy company like Enron with a hidden agenda to benefit only themselves.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
I haven't baked anything in a while so I wanted to make some cookies last night. I've been craving peanut butter cups so I set out to find cookies that would either include peanut butter cups or at least replicate those same flavors. This recipe fit the bill. These cookies remind me of the hershey kiss cookies people make at the holidays. They were equally as tasty as those too!
The original recipe calls for using mini muffin pans to make the cookies. I don't have a mini muffin pan so I just baked these on my silpat on a cookie sheet. I think the main problem I ran into was that the cookies weren't deep enough for the peanut butter cups, which I suspect they would have been were they baked in the mini muffin pans. The lack of depth caused many of the cookies to crack when I pressed the peanut butter cups in. In the end, it didn't matter since I wasn't concerned with the appearance of the cookies.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
from Allrecipes.com
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix until combined.
Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.
1 comment:
Those were reeeeally tasty, probably my second favorite cookie. Chocolate crinkle cookies still hold the #1 spot though! Thanks for the tasty treat to keep our stomachs full during Rock Band!

This route is shown clearly in the attached Photo. To reach it, approach the thin Wall's E. Side and orient according to the photo. This climb is the third major crack system from the right end of the wall. Climb a singular crack system using upward toward the top, reaching the left side of a dome like formation nea the top.Good climbing, singular line.
I did not lead this route, but it appeared to be doable with a light standard rack. It is also a good solo *8_).
Good pro, no crux, straight forward for beginning leaders. Set your own anchor on top. Walk off to the right (facing the route) with short secure down climb sections. The route is in shade in the PM.
I agree no real crux but what a fun climb! Straightforward crack with plenty face holds. Ran it out on two pieces just for the mental security. ;-) Now I understand why I've seen some guides run up this with no pro, to set their top-ropes.
This was my first 5.7 lead at J Tree and it served that purpose well. Very straightforwards, good rest spots, and great gear.
this route loves stoppers
Fun to trad. If you want to avoid getting your rope stuck (or high drag) in the lower crack, you can either 1) attach 2-4' runners to pro or 2) skip pro until the first top-out, but that's if you don't mind taking a 20-foot risk. Continue rest of climb with pro, while keeping the rope out of the lower crack. For anchor, use 3 cams and 1 chock. Avoid the loose flat stone wedged between the left and middle rocks.


text: When people today hear the word jazz, the music that most often springs to mind is the small combo-based style known as Bop. Built on a rhythmic foundation of walking bass and a steady cymbal pulse, Bop music is geared toward virtuosic and often extended soloing over a series of predetermined chord changes. In the early 1940s, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie revolutionized jazz with their stripped-down aesthetic, speeded-up tempos, and radical harmonic innovations, a style that critics dubbed "Bebop" after a classic tune of the same name. By the mid-'50s, the music had evolved into the tougher sounds of Hard Bop outfits such as Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, who incorporated elements of Gospel and blues into slightly slower tempos. Post Bop groups, such as the Bill Evans Trio and mid-'60s Miles Davis Quintet, reshaped the basic elements of Bebop and Hard Bop, at times incorporating ideas associated with Avant-Garde Jazz.

Of course you could always just make up your own ideas/do all of them if you want to, I'm just throwing some ideas out there.
-Your rituals before going to sleep,
-The side of the bed you sleep on,
-If you do anything specific with pillows/the blankets,
-If you talk in your sleep,
-How many hours you usually get in,
-How you act when you don't get enough/get too much sleep,
-Do you not use lots of covers/hog the sheets,
-Have you ever walked around in your sleep or anything,
-Do you drool/snore,
-How do you breathe,
-How do you know when you're tired in general,
-Do you ever take naps,
-Have you done any odd things in your sleep in general, etc.
There are really lots of things you can talk about. Some more interesting then others. Really depends on the individual.

Just six weeks into the Bush administration, Haley Barbour, a former Republican party chairman who was a lobbyist for electric power companies, sent a memorandum to Vice President Dick Cheney laying down a challenge.
''The question is whether environmental policy still prevails over energy policy with Bush-Cheney, as it did with Clinton-Gore,'' Mr. Barbour wrote, and called for measures to show that environmental concerns would no longer ''trump good energy policy.''
Mr. Barbour's memo was an opening shot in a two-year fight inside the Bush administration for dominance between environmental protection and energy production on clean air policy. One camp included officials, like Mr. Cheney, who came from the energy industry. In another were enforcers of environmental policy, led by Christie Whitman, a former Republican governor of New Jersey.
The battle engaged some of the nation's largest power companies, which were also among the largest donors to President Bush and other Republicans. They were represented by Mr. Barbour and another influential lobbyist, Marc Racicot, who also would later become chairman of the Republican National Committee.

The Hunt family of companies always takes a contrarian view when it comes to our operations. We are often pioneers in new areas or technologies.
Click on the headings below to learn more about some unique Hunt Facts.
Hunt Oil
East Texas Discovery
During the 1930 oil boom, H.L. Hunt, after learning to trade leases and drilling in Arkansas, heard of an East Texas driller trying to fund a drill stem test. After witnessing Joiner's Daisy Bradford No. 3 test near Kilgore, Texas, H.L. Hunt bought Joiner's lease out "lock stock and barrel," financing the deal with the first-of-its-kind agreement to make payments from future "down the hole" production. The Daisy Bradford No. 3 turned out to be the discovery well of the great East Texas field and, at the time, the greatest oil field in the world.
Early Supporters of Recycling
Founder H.L. Hunt firmly believed that over drilling would kill oil fields pre-maturely. In 1939, the Long Lake Recycling Plant was the first gas recycling plant in the country to open. He used this plant to help maintain pressures in the East Texas field. Two years later he supported the foundation of the East Texas Salt Water Disposal Company. By re-injecting the salt water pump out into the basin, good oil pressure was maintained. This enabled the East Texas field to supply the majority of fuel used by Allied forces in WWII.
First Oil in Alabama
Hunt Oil Company developed the first commercial oil well in Alabama, in 1944; The A.R. Jackson No. 1 well was discovered in the Gilbertown field in Choctaw County, Alabama, near the Mississippi border.
Oil in the North Sea
In 1976, Hunt Oil Company discovered oil in the Moray Firth area of Scotland. This was the first confirmed oil in that area of the North Sea, and over 100 miles away from the nearest commercial production area. It became known as the Beatrice field and is still in production today.
Once in a Lifetime - Discovering an Entire New Basin
In the ancient nation of the Republic of Yemen, the company once again defied conventional wisdom to explore for oil where others chose not to look. In 1984, with what was called the "rankest wildcat" the company ever drilled, the Alif No. 1 well discovered the prolific Alif field - and an entire new basin for industry exploration. Now the same field is fueling a new world class Yemen LNG processing plant. The facility officially opened on October 15, 2009, with the first ship launching from the Balhaf terminal the following month on November 7, 2009.
First Three-Dimensional Seismic in the Gulf of Mexico
With antiquated computers (by today's standards) and manual stacking of data, Hunt Oil Company managed the world's first three-dimensional offshore seismic study of the salt dome beneath Eugene Island Block 77 field.
Top Investment Ratings
Hunt Oil Company is one of less than 10 private companies in the United States with investment grade ratings. With a 75 year history, Hunt Oil Company is also among the 100 largest private companies in the United States founded before 1940.
Top in Safety
Hunt Consolidated, Inc. and its subsidiaries are known for their excellent safety records. This was highlighted in 2008, when there were no lost time accidents for the entire year - across the company.
Hunt Refining
Oldest Continually Operated Refinery in the State of Alabama
Founded in 1946 to process oil from the Gilbertown field, the Tuscaloosa-based Hunt Refining Company is the oldest continually operated refinery in the state of Alabama. In 2010, the refinery completed a $900 million expansion project. The expansion increased the refinery's capacity to handle 72,000 barrels of crude oil per day and doubled the amount of gasoline and diesel fuel it is able to produce to 55,000 barrels per day.
Hunt Realty
Reunion Complex
In 1974, Ray L. Hunt, son of Hunt Oil Company founder H.L. Hunt, convinced the City of Dallas to get involved in one of Dallas' first public-private partnerships. The resulting Reunion Complex – consisting of the Hyatt Regency Dallas Hotel and Reunion Tower – transformed an underutilized sector of downtown Dallas into a successful hotel and entertainment center and emerged as one of the most recognizable Dallas landmarks.
Sharyland Business Park
In the early 1970s, Hunt acquired 6,000 acres in the Rio Grande Valley along the border of Texas and Mexico. After holding the land for many years as agricultural property, the passing of the North American Free Trade Agreement spurred the development of the Sharyland Business Park in 1998. Today, Sharyland Plantation is emerging as a premier multi-decade, mixed-use development.
American Newland
In 2003, with the financial backing of Hunt Realty, operating partner American Newland became the largest master-planned community developer in the nation.
Anzalduas International Bridge
Hunt donated 475 acres of land in Mission, Texas to help build the Anzalduas International Bridge and highway. The bridge opened on January 11, 2010 and allows traffic between Mexico and the U.S. At 3.4 miles this is the longest bridge that connects the two countries.
Hunt Investment Group
Hunt Investment Group
Hunt Investment Group and its affiliates have owned complete or partial interest in over 75 private companies, and with over 40 third-party private equity, venture capital and hedge fund managers since 1996.
First LNG Plant in South America
On June 10, 2010, PERU LNG and Peruvian government officials inaugurated the first gas liquefaction plant in South America. The two LNG storage tanks at Melchorita are the largest in Peru, measuring 80 meters in diameter and 52 meters in height, with the capacity to each hold 130,000 m3 of LNG.
Guinness Book of World Records - The Highest Gas Pipeline in the World
The PERU LNG natural gas pipeline reaches an elevation of over 4,900 meters above sea level as it crosses the Andes Mountains. It runs 408 km from Ayacucho to the Pampa Melchorita processing plant on the Pacific coast of Peru. Guinness World Records certified this as the highest natural gas pipeline in the world.
Sharyland Utilities
Unique Creation
Sharyland Utilities
was authorized by the Texas Public Utilities Commission in 1999, it became the first greenfield electric utility in the United States, since Disney World's Reedy Creek District in the late 1960s. It originally served only the area around the 6,000-acre planned community of Sharyland Plantation.
First Direct Current Tie Between Mexico and Texas
In 2007,
Sharyland Utilities
celebrated the completion of the DC Tie. They built an electrical interconnection between the Texas and Mexico power grids. The cross-border tie is the first of its kind to support both emergency power and commercial business activity in Texas and Mexico. The 150-megawatt High Voltage Direct Current Tie allows two-way electricity transfers between completely independent power grids, which supports economic development and increased reliability of both grids.
Creation of REITs
In 2010,
Sharyland Utilities
helped Hunt create a first-of-a-kind investment vehicle to finance electricity transmission and distribution assets through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Hunt was the first to conceive of the concept to finance energy infrastructure through REITs, and
Sharyland Utilities
was the first utility to contribute its assets. In November 2010, Hunt partnered with four major investment institutions to create the Electric Infrastructure Alliance of America (EIAA) and the Gas Infrastructure Alliance of America (GIAA), two new REITS that are the first of their kind in the electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution sector. These will allow companies to invest in the energy infrastructure and gas storage and delivery sectors in the United States.
Hoodoo Land and Cattle Company
Charolaise Beef
On the Wyoming based Hoodoo Ranch, they raise Charolaise (shar-o-lay) cattle, a French breed of beef cattle known for its all white coat and hardiness. With meat similar to the more famous Angus, this is a larger and hardier breed that can withstand the cold winters of Wyoming very well. Hoodoo Ranch was among the first to introduce this breed to the state.
HQ Facts
LEED Silver Certification
The Hunt Headquarters was honored by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) with a Silver certification for Commercial Interiors in 2009. From the way the building was built to how it runs, all factors were considered. To earn this award the building met stringent credit qualifications in the areas of sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environment quality and innovation in design.
The Sail
The 480,000 square-foot Hunt Headquarters is distinguished by an unusual sail and ellipse facade fronting the North end of the building. The glass of the sail is curved top to bottom; the material was fabricated in the United States, shipped to China where it was cut, rolled and assembled into laminated units, and then shipped back to Dallas.
Artistic Commissions
There were several artists involved in multiple commissions for the Hunt Headquarters project, including a Foucault pendulum in the lobby, custom chandeliers and a glass art installation in "The Commons" employee dining space on the top floor.
Synchronized Light Displays
The exterior of the building features a set of special lights integrated onto the front of the building. More than a million independently colored lights project images as would a giant projector on a screen. The lights and fountains are synchronized and choreographed.
Thinking Green
Trees and plants in the landscape are a selection of native and adaptive species that provide year-round interest and color while reducing the demand for irrigation. The efficient landscape system is designed to save up to 50 percent of the water compared to a conventional irrigation system. In 2010 the landscaping received a Merit Award from the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Harvesting Daylight
The building maximizes the use of natural light by way of a system known as "daylight harvesting." The technique employs light-level sensors to detect available daylight and then adjust the output of electric lights. When it is very bright outside, the inside lights will dim. When it is cloudy outside, the inside lights will brighten. This reduces eye strain for people working. It also reduces the electric bill as the power being consumed is automatically adjusted by the lighting outdoors.

cant really see the point my self what with average tv specs being useless for gameing or they making some type of console pc tv hybrid errr does ms know
meh gonna totally be cable/sattelite and I'm using hd over the airwaves. besides my server is linked to my tv anyways and i can run steam on it all day long.
I was hoping for something along the lines of "The TV itself can run Steam, play games (with some beefy internal hardware), etc."
according to the steam mac store, there are 172 games for mac, so presumably, mac owners could potentially play 172 games on their macs or tvs.
I'd like to know how it will be implemented onlive type service is all I can think of. But I would much rather see steam on PS3 and Xbox 360
what an effin evolution lmao ive been pc gamein just fine on a 32" bravia for a year without such big screen bollox their bringin nowt my tv hasnt seen before then oooooh except gamepad menus haha the dicks bet you have to start it with a mouse lmao
just realised what with internet enabled tv's this may be like onlive but running over lan instead of internet so no lag problems video encoded by steam overlay and sent to tv, much like the screen shot feature but as video
more people own tv's then use linux - for a commercial company the choice is obvious also Linux doesn't natively support many games so what would they sell
Why not? Linux has a massive user base. I ONLY use Windows cos of compatibility. If Ubuntu was more supported, i'd sell Windows in a heart beat. More people might own TVs, but how many know about Steam compared to how many Linux users that know of Steam. Why support Mac and not Linux.

Add The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to top of Queue
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is an hour-long compendium of the three Disney "Winnie" animated short subjects produced between 1966 and 1974. Sterling Holloway provides the voice of A.A. Milne's whimsical pooh-bear in all three cartoons, the first two of which are directed by Wolfgang Reithermann and the last by John Lounsbery. The program consists of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968, which won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Subject), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! (1974). The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was originally prepared in 1977 for theatrical release, and has since been available primarily in home-video form. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Robin Hood is one of the first animated films produced by the Walt Disney Company after Walt Disney's death in 1967. For the film, the studio's animators took the Disney tradition of adding human-like animal sidekicks to established tales (Cinderella, Pinnochio) a step further by making Robin Hood's legendary characters creatures themselves. Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a wily fox; Maid Marian (Monica Evans) is a beautiful vixen; Little John (Phil Harris) is a burly bear; Friar Tuck (Andy Devine) is a soft-spoken badger; the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) is a greedy wolf; and the scheming Prince John (Peter Ustinov) is a sniveling, groveling, thumb-sucking undersized lion with a serpent sidekick named Sir Hiss (Terry Thomas). The film begins after Prince John and Sir Hiss have tricked the true King into leaving the country on a phony crusade. With the help of the Sheriff of Nottingham, they tax the life out of Nottingham's peasants, leaving them all penniless but with the courageous Robin Hood as their only hope. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, Rovi

Adam-12: Log 22: ...So This Little Guy Goes Into This Bar, and...
This week, mobile officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) are summoned to mediate a family fight involving a shiftless husband (Harry Dean Stanton) who wants to get arrested; attempt to recover a stolen fur on behalf of a dithery old lady (Nydia Westman); and break up a loud party held by one of Reed's old school chums (David Westberg). Through it all, Jim is repeatedly frustrated in his efforts to tell a joke to his fellow officers (no one, it seems, can understand the punchline). This is the final episode of Adam-12's first season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree
"Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bear," sings Winnie the Pooh setting the stage for the goings-on in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, the first of four Disney featurettes based upon the A.A. Milne characters. Indeed, Pooh has rather an insatiable desire for honey, and when he spies a group of bees making some of the lovely sticky stuff in the top of a nearby tree, he taxes his mental resources -- difficult for "a bear of very little brain" -- and comes up with a scheme. Enlisting the aid of Christopher Robin, he covers himself in mud, grabs hold of a big blue balloon and (thinking himself cleverly disguised as a little black rain cloud), tries to get some of the honey. The bees are not fooled, but soon Pooh finds an easier way of getting what he wants: visiting friend Rabbit at lunch time. Rabbit has a tremendous store of honey -- so much so that, after ingesting it all, Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit's doorway and can get neither in nor out. There's nothing to do but wait for Pooh to lose enough wait to squeeze out. When he does finally get rescued, Pooh somehow ends up in another sticky situation -- but one that is much more pleasing to the little bear. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi

Add Sleeping Beauty to top of Queue
Disney produced this lavish animated fairy tale, the most expensive cartoon ever made up to its release with a budget of $6 million. When the young princess Aurora is cursed at birth by the evil fairy Maleficent, the baby is kidnapped by a trio of good fairies who raise the girl themselves, hoping to avoid the spell's fulfillment. Nevertheless, at the age of 16, the beautiful Aurora falls into a deep sleep that can only be awakened by a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip. Knowing that Phillip intends to save Aurora, Maleficent takes him prisoner. When the good fairies launch a rescue attempt, Maleficent transforms herself into a spectacular fire-breathing dragon, forcing Phillip to defeat her in mortal combat. Sleeping Beauty (1959) was Oscar nominated for its musical score, which featured adaptations of Tchaikovsky compositions. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Lady and the Tramp
Add Lady and the Tramp to Queue
Add Lady and the Tramp to top of Queue
Lady and the Tramp represented two "firsts" for Disney: It was the studio's first Cinemascope animated feature, and it was their first full-length cartoon based on an original story rather than an established "classic". Lady is the pampered female dog belonging to Jim Dear and Darling. When her human masters bring a baby into the house, Lady feels she's being eased out; and when Darling's insufferable Aunt Sarah introduces her nasty twin Siamese cats into the fold, Lady is certain that she's no longer welcome. The cats wreak all manner of havoc, for which Lady is blamed. After the poor dog is fitted with a muzzle, Lady escapes from the house, only to run across the path of the Tramp, a raffish male dog from the "wrong" side of town. The Tramp helps Lady remove her muzzle, then takes her out on a night on the town, culminating in a romantic spaghetti dinner, courtesy of a pair of dog-loving Italian waiters. After their idyllic evening together, Lady decides that it's her duty to protect Darling's baby from those duplicitous Siamese felines. On her way home, Lady is captured and thrown in the dog pound. Here she learns from a loose-living mutt named Peg that The Tramp is a canine rake. Disillusioned, Lady is more than happy to be returned to her humans, even though it means that she'll be chained up at the insistence of Aunt Sarah. Tramp comes into Lady's yard to apologize, but she wants no part of him. Suddenly, a huge, vicious rat breaks into the house, threatening the baby. Lady breaks loose, and together with Tramp, runs into the house to protect the infant. When the dust settles, it appears to Aunt Sarah that Tramp has tried to attack the child. That's when Lady's faithful friends Jock the bloodhound and Trusty the scottie swing into action, rescuing Tramp from the dogcatcher. Once Jim Dear and Darling are convinced that Tramp is a hero, he is invited to stay...and come next Christmas, there's a whole flock of little Ladies and Tramps gathered around the family. Beyond the usual excellent animation and visual effects, the principal selling card of Lady and the Tramp is its music. Many of the songs were performed and co-written by Peggy Lee, who years after the film's 1955 theatrical issue, successfully sued Disney for her fair share of residuals from the videocassette release. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Her Secret
Produced in Arizona by theater legend Oliver Morosco's wife Helen Mitchell, Her Secret told the sordid story of Waffles (Sari Maritza, a waitress accused by Tucson bluenoses of "contributing to the delinquency of minors." One "minor" in particular is Johnny Norton (Buster Collier), the exiled son of a Chicago industrialist (Alan Mowbray), in Tucson after having served a jail term for drunk driving. Johnny falls for Waffles, the pretty waitress, but is disturbed when the girl visits a remote cabin with a male friend, Tex (Rex Armond). Unbeknownst to all and sundry, Waffles is actually visiting her dying mother, but rumors fly and the students from a local college are soon prohibited from frequenting her café. Her Secret was banned in many locations but after a few incendiary scenes had been deleted, the film enjoyed a wide release in 1936 under a new title, The Girl from Georgia. According to some reports, the production was financed by a local Tucson businessmen, one of whom was the father of supporting player Tex Armond. Despite her exotic name, leading lady Sari Miritza actually hailed from Great Britain. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Headin' North
Cowboy star Bob Steele looks embarrassed throughout most of Headin' North, as well he should. The film begins conventionally enough, with Steele once again accused of a murder he didn't commit. Hoping to remain in hiding until he can expose the real killer, our hero disguises himself as a vaudeville entertainer, complete with a loud and vulgar "city slicker" outfit. Heroine Barbara Luddy (later a prolific radio actress) speaks for the entire audience when she gives Steele the once-over and exclaims "
did you get those funny clothes?" Fortunately, Steele regains most of his dignity in a climactic fistfight with the villain. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Distributed in 1928 by poverty row entrepreneur William Pizor, this obscure silent action melodrama starring Earl Douglas and Barbara Luddy was most likely filmed years earlier and was one of four Douglas films produced by Ward Lascelles. The director, Frank Yaconelli, later became a popular B-Western player. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Wilful Youth
This fast-paced melodrama is set in Tall Timber country, with a few side trips to the High Society set. Kenneth Harlan stars as a devil-may-care lumberman who is constantly at odds with his far-from-pleasant brother (Jack Richardson). The plot thickens when brother dear betrays everyone in sight for the sake of a quick buck, following in the footsteps of his covetous mother. Tragedy ensues when the villain "ruins" an innocent young girl (played by future radio star Barbara Luddy) who promptly throws herself over a cliff. Heroine Edna Murphy manages to escape this fate, enjoying a happy-ever-after with hero Harlan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Born to Battle
Produced by and starring lower-echelon silent screen cowboy Bill Cody, this minor Western featured yet another variation on the Hatfield/McCoy feud. Ma Cowan (pinch-faced Nora Cecil) mistakenly believes that Luke Barstow (John P. Lockney) shot her husband 20 years earlier. Much to Ma and Barstow's disgust, young Billy Cowan falls in love with pretty Barbara Barstow (Barbara Luddy) and the feud is dangerously close to continue into a new generation. But Billy discovers that his evil uncle Tolliver (Sheldon Lewis) is fanning the flames for his own selfish reasons. Directed by the prolific Alvin J. Neitz (later known as Alan James), Born to Battle also found employment for such B-Western stalwarts as Olin Francis, Frank McGlynn, Jr., Ralph Yearsley, Lew Meehan, Sailor Sharkey and, as the sheriff, Fred Burns. ~ Hans J.

Dorothy Revier plays a woman who decides that all men are scum when her sister dies giving birth to an illegitimate child.

We last see the heroine in charge of a home for wayward girls, with the doctor lovingly at her side. An early effort from fledgling Columbia Pictures. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Traditionally, network security (firewalls to block unauthorized users, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to keep attackers out, Web filters to avoid misuse of Internet browsing, and antivirus software to block malicious programs) required separate boxes with increased cost and complexity. Unified Threat Management (UTM) makes network security less complex, cheaper, and more effective by consolidating all these components. This book explains the advantages of using UTM and how it works, presents best practices on deployment, and is a hands-on, step-by-step guide to deploying Fortinet's FortiGate in the enterprise.

A new report from the Environmental Protection Agency says groundwater monitoring wells in Pavillion, Wyoming show high levels of cancer causing compounds and chemicals associated with the controversial gas drilling technique called hydrofracking.
Hydrofracking involves highly pressurized water mixed with chemicals being injected into rock formations. Natural gas companies say that hydrofracking is safe and allows them to tap into large amounts of natural gas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Critics have said the chemicals from hydrofracking can contaminate groundwater and cause health dangers for neighbors.
Yesterday the EPA released new information about the monitoring wells they have had around Pavillion since 2008. There has been extensive natural gas drilling done in Pavillion over the past twenty years and there hundreds of gas wells in the area.
42 drinking water wells and 4 stock wells were monitored by the EPA. The report says the EPA found a compound called 2-Butoxyethanol (2-BE) in the wells. The EPA did not say how the contamination occurred but 2-Butoxyethanol (2-BE) is widely used as a hydrofracking solvent. The monitoring wells also found benzene, acetone, toluene, naphthalene and diesel fuel. The level of benzene was 50 times what is considered safe.
A report from ProPublica says the gas companies around Pavillion have denied that their gas drilling caused the contamination. The EPA says a draft report, including more information on interpretation of the results will be released in late November.
