I'm Bob Cusack is managing editor of the hill joining us now from DC one of the why is this man in the financing on politics anyway.
Great to see Obama happy inauguration day.
Happy inauguration day big day very good big crowds here not as big as four years -- -- -- but still pretty big in DC yeah.
About half -- what what we -- for years ago bubble which still makes it a big guy inauguration day I cried as -- -- about half.
Yet that's that's the early estimates is that it's in the range of 50% maybe a little bit more than that.
But but certainly -- I second the transportation -- some.
It's the crowds were so big four years ago that they were nightmares all around -- priced at getting around and people not being able to go to the event.
We're not hearing that this time around -- you know it's a different kind of mood.
Is not is uplifting as four years ago but but people pretty fired up here.
-- had a decent guy.
But talking about now and then we have a president.
Who is a much changed man and lead -- all little changed.
You know I think he's changed somewhat in dealing with Washington.
You know he said he was gonna change -- this.
This city works and and and change -- post partisan president.
That did not happen you can you can -- -- that it this city is more partisan -- it ever has been.
Even under George W.
Bush which he came obviously afterward so I think he you know he gave me a big.
Picture address as far as that the details of of what he's gonna push yet he alluded to it.
Gun control transportation.
Certainly a gay rights was also mentioning that this is a big picture America.
That you would get an -- -- union on the on the details about immigration reform.
But this was one basically his message was -- What this country is getting better we must always strive.
To get better and that's what he's doing but this this speech anti dumping is getting rave reviews from the left you know aggressive you're saying it's this -- -- -- must progresses speeches.
I mention Medicare Medicaid not cutting them.
So you know this is say this is a big deal and it and certainly I think the right is gonna view this as as him moving the left in his second term right and then.
That's certainly so he -- -- -- I guess more in this speech rather than.
Didn't vote will get a lot of detail one imagined Zain what is it three weeks on every -- we get the state of the union.
Yes that's right that's when I think you'll get down in the nitty gritty.
You know Republicans say they are divided right now -- that fiscal cliff kind of debacle.
They're trying to regroup come up with a new strategy -- taking this present off this president riding a high.
Right now but he's got to move very quickly because we saw that in 2009 his approval ratings were seven he said he 5% than Republicans back than anyone criticize him.
And then you know -- -- a year later.
Republicans were the ones on top so you know politics can change very quickly.
Well how com do you think it is going to be.
-- President Obama.
To get through -- a -- -- -- All the legislation given that the balance of power I in congress remains as it walls.
Pit -- November's election and I -- to take on me about gun control immigration the -- was talking about to hear how tough is it going to make.
I think when you talk about big things went about comprehensive bills.
That's going to be very difficult I think gun control -- something could happen on gun control.
I think house Republicans want to move narrow legislation to keep guns.
Out of that at hand as severely mentally ill -- as well as criminals but as far as you know the assault weapon ban big stuff may be background checks could be part of that.
I don't think you gonna see big legislation move now that's the danger for Democrats is that they're gonna push for a comprehensive immigration reform policy.
That's going to be tough it's gonna be challenging I don't think it's a done -- a lot of people saying well Republicans want to Obama wants it it's gonna happen at some point.
I'm not so sure because Republicans are talking about.
And more narrow bills on immigration Obama saying.
Pathway to citizenship so that's always a tough debate and you know it hasn't been done now George W.
Bush tried to do it.
We came very close but failed so I I don't see the optimism that this is there's going to be a lot tried this time -- but I'm not so sure that would SE extremely busy -- Interest that they bring -- -- back into the conversation ball -- -- This is one of those days.
As we look at the crabs that.
A very big crowds again -- -- in normal standards known as -- as Bob was saying not as big as.
Come 2009 but would this is a day when we all sort of how the hope on the optimism and we celebrate the peaceful transition that we -- so used to.
Here in the United States and is such.
A wonderful part of our democracy.
But really tomorrow very even this afternoon we all back we -- do the American people should all expect there will be back to exact same fights and bickering that we heard the forces with.
Yet you know and that that's what I think is interesting about this speech as Bob mentioned you know it was a progressive speech and and I can see people.
On the left being very excited about what President Obama had to say and with good reason it supports things that they've long been fighting for.
By the same token I wonder how historians read this speech when they look back on it.
You know as you mentioned this is a -- -- day of celebration it's -- time to book partisan politics aside and to look at the future and to look at uniting the country.
And to a certain extent listening to that speech.
I didn't feel like Barack Obama was putting that in the forefront as much as he was his agenda and the agenda of the last now you know -- is riding high and he has every right to do that but I wonder for his legacy what kind of impact that has and I.
I don't not Bob feels that way but I also think it raises questions about how much he's able to -- -- In the next few months which I think are going to be basically -- only window of opportunity to achieve much before 2014 and and certainly his lame duck status -- sent the ball -- A ball that's that's a good point does -- have just a few months really -- To make any real achievements before everybody stops focusing on the mid terms.
Yeah I think he's got six months a minute when we get into this summer break when congress goes away in August.
After that you know you -- here that that term of of lame duck and remember senate Republicans think they can win back the senate and Tony 1004 at 2014.
The map looks good for them so that's what's on their minds of course what's on Obama's mind is winning back the house for Democrat so he could have.
Once again control of the house and senate for his last two years to push -- very best agenda but no doubt about it.
-- you know the next six months -- are so important to present a mountain.
And that is up -- speaks that we're looking in the the corner of the screen segment of state Hillary Clinton -- -- at stake.
Just to her left.
That is almost certainly the future second of state senator -- -- and the head of -- -- President Bill Clinton some of our viewers weighing in here.
Mister hostetler says President Obama moved the mall to the left Raymond says he looked a lot more relaxed this time -- -- -- the Chief Justice failed on Iraq.
-- Kayla Williams says he does have the upper hand people need to get over that difference -- Obama is still president at the end of the day up -- as we just look at the current and almost certainly the next.
Secretary of state that.
And we were talking about the nomination has been earlier in the show how do you see those looking at John Kerry looks to have a pretty easy pop but -- on some of the others.
Yeah Brent is going to be.
He's gonna get some tough questions I think the toughest one is and the most dramatic is gonna be -- Eagles hearings I mean he's going to be pressed.
On the left and the right he got in trouble with gay rights group -- he's obviously in trouble with with friends of Israel and his stance on Iran.
Do I think all of these nominations are gonna get through yes -- at least it -- some Republicans who vote no on on paid off but I don't think they're gonna filibuster him.
And -- -- you know you look back at that.
Controversial nominees in the past.
Timothy Geithner had some tax problems nine -- still got -- some -- votes so do I think it's going to be entertaining hearings four with -- and hagel and I think these guys are gonna have to give.
Com answers not be angry.
Because that's nothing Republicans -- said the temperament of hagel is gonna be on the table so they're gonna try to touch -- buttons but ultimately I think these guys -- -- Clinton yet and you didn't you do that all of them get confirmed idea thinking yeah I do agree with that I think it's going to be a little tougher haggling Brennan but I think ultimately they will all get concerned and again they are all guys say just wanna keep saying that T town -- -- this.
What is the he had that.
Did she brought this up in passionate tell mr.
-- that frighten me somewhat.
Thought they did -- and the alleged gender gap and and president Obama's.
Cabinet what -- the -- he was making was yes a fairly good record cold in terms of women around him but not to the most senior -- set there's already all -- -- secular state Hillary Clinton right now.
With the isn't -- fact criticism.
I think it is I mean that this is something that meant that he can we need clearly won the women's vote in 2012.
Is also something that I think his campaign.
Hill -- very well remember in 20020092010.
There are complaints within the white house of an old boy network that the women were not giving a lot of say in the White House Obama actually had to have a meeting about this to address it.
That kind of storyline went away and we did talk about a lot in the campaign but now it's back and I think there's a lot of pressure.
On him to appoint a woman be Jennifer grand home to be secretary of labor -- or energy post EPA possibly so.
I think there is pressure but clearly -- that the president is irritated by this talk.
But do it it's fair criticism that he has a lot of white men around -- absolutely.
All right Bob Cusack managing editor of the hill and a man who is going to be very busy the next four years hopefully you'll keep busy like coming back to us as well -- always glad to see it.
Thanks so much help -- -- all right.

U.S in the Midst of a Financial Crisis
It's not a news now that the U.S financial ship is surrounded by high tides of financial debts. With various reasons that pushed the country into the waves, excessive spending in past few years is one of them. American government has been spending huge amount of money which was much more than what it received as an income.

Join me in the fight to cure, better treat and prevent type 1 diabetes!
In November of this year, I, along with my husband Tim, will be riding our bikes 100 miles in JDRF's Ride to Cure Diabetes, along with hundreds of other riders across the country to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D).
I was diagnosed with T1D 40 years ago at the age of 4. That's 14, 600 days with diabetes. I don't remember life without diabetes. I do remember thinking about diabetes every day, every minute, sometimes every second of each day. I think about pricking my fingers multiple times (over 50,000 so far), programming/using my insulin pump, the carbohydrates in the food I eat, and the exercise I do each day and how it all affects my blood sugar and insulin dose. Some days I get it somewhat right, and other days, not so much. It is a CONSTANT challenge! There are so many variables that affect blood sugars and my overall health; there are no set rules, and no ONE solution. I must be prepared for high blood sugars, and low blood sugars all the time, including every time I leave the house, and everytime I go to sleep at night. It is a balancing act that takes strength, determination, support and a whole LOT of patience!
I grew up being told I could do anything with my life regardless of my diabetes. I DO dream of seeing a cure for this disease in my lifetime so that I, Tim, my children, and my family and friends can experience life WITHOUT diabetes. How cool whould that be?!
As the leader of the type 1 diabetes community, JDRF unifies global efforts to cure, treat and prevent T1D. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?
Why am I choosing to ride a hundred miles on my bike you may ask? I want to help "give back" to an organization who gives HOPE and LOVE to so many people like me with T1D. I have 2 beautiful children, and I want to be healthy for them for many years to come. I have been married for 21 years to the most loving, patient, and supportive husband EVER, and I want to be healthy for lots more anniversaries!! So I need your help to raise funds for a cure!
I have a wonderful support system in my husband, kids, family and friends. Over the years, many of you have helped support me and encouraged me through rough times, and some of you may have always wanted to help me but didn't know how. Well donating to the JDRF is one sure way to help!
I am asking for your support. Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts. By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes. Any donation you make on my page is fully tax deductible and when you donate online, you will receive a tax receipt. No amount is too small, it will all help!
Thank you for your support! Here's to a life without Type 1 Diabetes!!!
Love, Heather

Since I started working full time, two years ago, I have had less time to update. Blog Royale has suffered from this, and though I have been limping along – trying to convince myself that I could do this… it is just not happening to the same level of updating that I was when I was in university.
It therefore seemed prudent to take a step back and evaluate how much time would be needed to carry a dedicated royal blog. When I first started writing here, I made the attempt to publish something every day, and I don't have that kind of time anymore.
I am sad to see the end of Blog Royale, but in the end, there have been major royal Norwegian attendance and events these past two weeks, and I haven't blogged anything at all about the royal side of things.
Upon reflection, I have decided that I shall only be updating at the main blog – Norwegianne.net, which means that there may be sporadic royal news, discussion topics and book reviews there, instead of here.
Norwegianne.net will be featuring some royal tidbits, recipes, posts about living in Norway, book reviews, and whatever else I have the time and inclination to write about.
Thanks for the time you've taken to read here at Blog Royale. It has been great having you along.

A New Bass Guitar!
Amen! Bought a new bass guitar and an amplifier today. Cost me 300 euros. Sounds good, and have been training all day long. It's bloody hard without a pick, never played with only fingers. Decided to try and play some Disturbed's songs. Stricken goes, Now training Deify and Decadence. Perhaps I should upload them somewhere. Moyer is a good bass player. I didnt like Steve that much.
It has four strings. Is blood red. And is named "The Redeemer", painted with black paint to it's neck. Now on it's train train and train.
I saw a video on Youtube, from DisturbedTV, where a man sent a video of him playing Decadence. Got the wild idea to try and do the same with the bass. Hahaha. I am laughing at myself.
I was too stupid for the guitar...

Is reaching a set number of words a day for a writer of any value if the number of words in question (let's say 1000 words a day for the heck of it) aren't much more than stream of consciousness junk?
Or is it better to set a goal towards writing one good scene a day, or one page you're happy with, a goal more along those lines.
That's a good question that deserves examination. On the one hand doing these sorts of brainstorming exercises could yield some interesting results. On the other hand, it could be time better spent writing something more coherent and focused, albeit a lot more slowly and painstakingly.
On the third hand, doing these exercises very well could train my brain to get used to writing scads of material on a daily basis, so that I could transfer that skill towards the more focused efforts little by little. So the daily word count idea could serve to get my creative ideas flowing in other directions as well.
In any case, for some time now I've set out a goal of writing at least 2000 words a day (thanks to Stephen King, horror master, for the advice!), but I find that some days just end up being a long and rambling stream of consciousness exercise and little more. I still have all that junk saved, though, so I can always go back to it and see if there's anything worth elaborating on or even keeping at all. Other days, I get some strong ideas out of this type of self-discipline and I find myself writing beyond that goal, either by word count or at least by feeling as though I've made a lot of progress to particular scenes or parts of stories that have been bugging me.
Interestingly enough, today's 2000 word effort started by my coming up with the idea for this blog post. Of course, if I start adding my blog writings to the 2000 words it won't amount to much (given that I'll be devoting a quarter to a half of it to the blog and not to story writing!), so I'll have to be sure and keep all that nice and separate if the objective of getting some good stories written is to be fulfilled partly through this type of creative writing exercise.
Anyway, I suppose as long as it makes sense to me and is reasonably fun I might as well just stick with it. At the very least, it is improving my typing skills!

Yep Joke of the Year with his wooden headed dummy sidekick.
If indeed Mr. Biden is a "joke", then the joke is on us the American citizens/taxpayers who pay for his performance.Mr. Biden is acting out an assigned role, providing distraction from the developing police/surveillance state. He is a kind of safety valve used by some people who cannot bear to see what is happening politically in the United States of America.
Report yesterday that heis building a war chest to run in 2013 (if the socialist don´t get the law changed to permit o to run again.)
Sorry, but I think it´s the people who voted for him that are the joke.
Bumbling old Joe Biden, senior village idiot, was one of the smartest choices Democrats could make for VP. He causes would be presidential assassins to stop and reconsider.
Joke Bitme
Joke Biteme
The joke would be funnier if it wasn´t so DARN serious! This doofus was actually elected!
This entire administration is a Joke
NAD, his BOSS is giving him a raise for doing his job so good.
In total agreement. He is a nitwit!

Bournemouth is the UK's most holiday-friendly town edging out competition from Brighton, Portsmouth, London and Scarborough, new research from Virgin Money Travel Insurance shows.
The Dorset town was rated the best place for UK holidaymakers looking for the best stay-at-home summer destination with Loch Ness in last place in the analysis of 66 popular UK getaways. Other South Coast towns performed strongly with Brighton and Portsmouth in second and third with Scarborough fourth and London fifth. The capital was obviously let down by not having a beach.
Loch Ness was rated the worst partly because of bad weather with Wells in Somerset, the Shetland Islands, Southwold in Suffolk and Portrush in Northern Ireland also in bottom five.

FXAA now works on world of warcraft and I can now easily enable it on GTAIV The driver I have been waiting for thank you Nvidia
Funny how most improvements are for older cards. I guess Nvidia wants you to buy those more since gtx 680 seems to be hard to find, although I found mine at local frys and it was the only card sitting on the shelf.
Thanks for the heads up and the links, will download it when I get home. Nice to see a lot of tweaks for previous gen cards, you rarely ever see that with new driver releases
i've been waiting for this. will download and test it right away when i got home isn't that nice? people with card one or two generation behind always complain when the latest driver didn't bring performance improvement like it did for the latest gen. XD btw i'm really want to test out the fxaa via control panel and adaptive v-sync. will the older cards get get TXAA as well?
Yeah...and why would would these not also affect GTX 480 and such? Isn't it essentially the same architecture?
I normally wait for the WHQL version, but I'm really keen on this one, so I'm installing it now. The Adaptive Vsync and frame rate limiter features I'm really interested in. It's not good to have the video card thrashing away at 1000fps+ when running an old game in a window, even for a short while.
Im using 310.10 WHQL for my GTX580 ever since it went out.. ini editted though . And yeah, adaptive vsync and fxaa can be enabled. I get some tearing on adaptive vsync with games capped at 60fps though (running on a 120hz monitor) which is pretty weird.
Uh, no. It says all the changes in terms of performance affect 4xx and 5xx series cards (Fermi) but 6xx series cards are Kepler, which while being similar, is a new architecture. Kepler is like the athlete the chubby middle school kid named Fermi wishes he was.
after install this driver, not fresh install. I got like 0-1 fps in BF3. Not sure what happened. I think I need fresh installation.
I'll be interested to see how it behaves. I have a 120Hz monitor, so it'll be interesting to see the effect of capping the frame rate at 60Hz. It'll seem weird, I expect. I guess you can do that while turning vsync on? I'll soon find out.
The next step should be allowing Adaptic Vsync based on monitor refresh rate instead of just statically at 60Hz. 120hz Monitors are making a big push in the coming years--with the advent of 3D--and it would be silly to not allow something like that.
It is based on monitor refresh, not a static 60Hz. Check out the driver control panel and the GeForce website. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-301.24-beta-drivers-released
Ok, fair enough, lol. Tell you what, it works with a 60Hz monitor too. I just tried playing Unreal Tournament (the original one released in 1999) which would normally render at 800fps+ and it was capped at a solid 30fps! The game was horribly laggy and full of judder, as you might expect. It was ironically funny to see a modern, high spec PC like mine achieve a crappy 30fps on this old game!
I was talking about 480 and 580 being the "same"; nothing about 680. And as you say "Fermi" and not just 5xx like in OP above then great--that answers my question and addresses my confusion.
Turning vsync on in game? Afaik, the nvcp overrides the vsync option in the software.. played Rage (which was capped at 60fps), and I was having screen tearing even though fraps still reported 60fps. Sonic Generations as well exhibited the same symptom with adaptive vsync on. I'd like to see what result you get though..

I love the idea, and am glad that it's happening, but nothing has made me feel like the 360 gets special treatment until the wording in those announcements. It's not our faults that the 360 isn't our primary gaming console (I happen to own all 3, but all my friends are on the PS3), and it'd actually very much upset me to be denied a potential massive amount of music just because I own the very same game on a not-360.

Dear Microsoft,
HMX and you guys have done something so awesome I'm almost completely speechless. I realise now that my habit of buying every track is going to come to a sudden and screaching halt because I'm not gonna be able to afford everything any more. Please tell me I can have a bigger hard-drive for my xbox, because I think I'm gonna need that very very quickly.
In all honesty, this is a mindblowingly epic announcement and I am so impressed by this fact. I also spotted something else - since this is coming out soon and it mentions that you need RockBand 2.2, the patch can't be all that far behind - I don't see HMX making two different patches....
Thank you, HMX!
Oh yeah - I take it you guys are still going to be releasing tunes to bankrupt me every week?
I used to have many songs... but then I had to stop buying more...
I definitely like the idea that bands will be able to choose their own prices on their content: anywere from $.50 - $3.00.
And I'm also happy that we may see this thing by the end of the year.
15 months have gone into this, and coming from HMX, I expect this to be truly revolutionary.
Congrats HMX!

Sigh, the PS3 gets shafted again...stupid PS3. ...And none on the Wii?For the Xbox 360 * Select songs may also appear on PS3
This is still awesome news. I kind of want to see how it works before I buy the membership.
Just out of curiosity are we going to have to pay for these tracks also this tech alone will cause rock band to be more that just a fad.

The Nationals' No. 2 prospect suffered a badly sprained left ankle while running the bases for Class A Advanced Potomac on Saturday night. According to the Washington Post, the swelling must go down before the team will learn how long Rendon will be sidelined.
Rendon went down while rounding third base in the fourth inning of a 7-2 loss to the Lynchburg Hillcats. He had to be helped off the field by team staff.
After walking in his first at-bat, Rendon led off the fourth with a double to center field. Two batters later, Justin Bloxom lined a single to center and Rendon was trying to score when the injury occurred.
Winner of the Dick Howser Trophy as college baseball's top player during his sophomore season at Rice University, Rendon was considered the likely No. 1 overall pick in 2011 before a right shoulder injury interrupted his junior year. After hitting .394 with 26 homers in 2010, he batted .327 with only six longballs last season. He also was largely limited to designated hitter duty as a junior after playing stellar defense at third base the year before.
Rendon previously had issues with his right ankle. He tore ligaments in 2009, then suffered multiple fractures in the ankle and foot the following year.
The 21-year-old ended up going sixth overall to the Nationals in the 2011 Draft. In his pro debut on Friday, he went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run scored.

Sue Booth Inspires Others While Giving Back
When we do our Buddy Check reports we hope to provide inspiration, information and support. Sometimes that means telling you about new medical breakthroughs, other times it's about fun walks and unusual fundraisers. It's always about a serious disease. While that doesn't always mean a positive outcome, it can still mean a positive outlook. In tonight's Buddy Check Report we hear from Susan Booth. I found her story so moving, I chose to let her tell it. Susan Booth says, "I was diagnosed with stage 3 c breast cancer in November 2008 and March 2009 my breast cancer returned it is now a stage 4. Right now my cancer is not curable. So it's basically keeping a quality of life and keeping the cancer at bay for as long as we can. I've been the 4H leader at Casalae Farms which is a horse farm in Traverse City for the last couple of years. They're passionate about what they do and I am so happy to be part of it. I've kept it very open Obviously when I lost my hair they all knew I was doing chemo and I didn't want them to be afraid. I wanted them to know it's the same old Sue Booth even though I'm sick you don't have to be afraid to ask questions and i don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me. Right now I take Tamoxifen, I've already done chemo and several radiations and surgeries. The cancer has metastasized into bone and bone marrow. They decided last time I was in the hospital in March to create a foundation on the rail and sent my daughter and family to nationals. They raised money through bake sales, raffles, auctions and you name it, they raised over $4,000 in 4 months, which was not easy. It was a beautiful trip and created great memories for my family. I can't say enough about these kids. They get it. They give back to their community. They're dedicated to their horses. They're disciplined and they're just a wonderful group of kids. It does keep me going everyday. That's exactly what it does. If I can teach these kids one thing, it's no matter what, even in your darkest hour, you can give back and if they only take that away from this experience I think that's more important than anything. If everybody could pay it forward it would make a huge difference, a huge difference. It is imperative to get your mammogram. If they catch it early it is 100% curable. Hopefully by some amazing grace I can beat this disease and if not live everyday to the fullest and enjoy my life, and that's what I am doing."

Movie Review
Is there really any reason to review a new Harry Potter movie? Fans of the series have already seen it in droves, then engaged in vociferous online and off-line dissections of the adaptation and the colorful characters and plot twists the filmmakers were forced to omit. Hogwarts haters (if there are any left) will stay home.
So I offer this assessment solely for those who are still on the fence, perhaps wondering whether to accompany a more avid friend. Viewers who've never read a word of J.K. Rowling's best sellers may feel as if they've stumbled into the middle of a season of "As the Wizarding World Turns." The script offers no primer on these characters and why they're all petrified of a villain who appears only in flashbacks. But Muggles with some passing Potter familiarity will find that director David Yates [1] and his actors and composer and production designers and set dressers offer enough craft (or magic?) to make the film exciting even to viewers who have little investment in the increasingly Byzantine story.
After plodding through about 30 pages of explanatory gabbing at the dénouement of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [2], I decided that Rowling's saga loses its tension when Dumbledore pulls too many fricking strings. Like the greatest dad or grandpa ever (crossed with Gandalf), the elderly Hogwarts headmaster always seems to be there guiding young Harry's progression into manhood, and many of the books' "mysteries" evaporate as soon as he puts on his exposition hat. Is it necessary to mention that Michael Gambon [3], who plays him in the film, acts circles around Daniel Radcliffe [4] as Harry? In fact, Gambon and Alan Rickman [5] (as maybe-he's-evil-maybe-he-isn't Professor Snape) give so much Shakespearean verve to their relatively small roles that it often seems as if Harry is the Chosen One only because he matches the books' core demographic.
The current installment opens with London in the grip of a new Blitz, courtesy of dark lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. The Chosen One, meanwhile, is flirting with a waitress who doesn't seem to notice that he looks 12. Dumbledore puts a stop to this and whisks Harry away to meet Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent [6]), the new potions master, who could be hiding a vital piece of information about Voldemort's youth. In potions class, Harry happens on an old textbook in which a former pupil — identified only as "the Half-Blood Prince" — has scribbled handy cheat sheets. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy is up to something really not good that involves birds and a portable cabinet. (Tom Felton [7], who plays him, is starting to look and glower like Nicolas Cage [8].)
The film offers meanwhiles on meanwhiles, and that's not even counting the various student love triangles and unrequited crushes. It wanders from plotline to plotline until, about 40 minutes from the end, everything comes together with a satisfying snap. When Yates slows down for a revealing fireside scene involving Slughorn and Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane [9]), both actors pull out all the stops, and the movie achieves the grandeur of great adult drama.
That's not to suggest children's dramas are trivial. Some of the movie's scenes have the oddness and beauty of the best fables, and the ending is as starkly distressing as it should be. Harry continues to be a frustratingly generic hero, and his more interesting friends Ron and Hermione don't have much to do here beyond the aforementioned snogging. But Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright [10]) has a gleam of mature wit in her eye that bodes well for the two planned sequels.
In my book, Harry Potter will never be up there with great literature or even children's classics. But Rowling begs, borrows and steals enough from the long and rich tradition of British fantasy to make it work. And the film partakes of the equally long and rich tradition of British pantomime, in which thespians who could be doing Pinter choose instead to play characters with silly names and amuse themselves royally. Most of the audience will, too.

Even as anti-American violence eased Saturday around the Muslim world, tensions remained high -- stoked, in some nations, by the prospect of U.S. troops arriving to protect U.S. diplomatic missions.
The widespread protests connected to an online trailer for an inflammatory anti-Islam film privately produced in the United States were relatively thin and calm, and in some places nonexistent, on Saturday compared to earlier in the week.
Yet even with this relative break, the furor has not gone away completely, nor has concern over safety and security at U.S. embassies.
To that end, U.S. officials said earlier this week that Marine teams would be dispatched to protect U.S. diplomatic missions in Libya, Yemen and Sudan in the wake of anti-Western unrest in those countries.
But U.S. troops haven't necessarily been welcomed.
Yemen's parliament issued a statement early Sunday demanding U.S. Marines leave the Arab country immediately, calling the presence of any foreign forces -- and U.S. troops in particular -- "unacceptable."
Some leading politicians, like Ahmed al-Bahri of the opposition Haq party, warned that even a few dozen American troops could "open the doors of hell for Yemen and give terrorists an excuse." Others like Abdul Majid al-Zindani, president of Yemen's Cleric Committee, equated the U.S. troops arrival to a foreign occupation.
Zaid al-Thari, a political adviser to Yemen's ruling General People's Congress, speculated that the U.S. Marines recent arrival raises doubts about who was behind this week's attacks on the U.S. embassy in Sanaa that left four protesters dead.
"In the end of the day, the United States is benefiting more than all and was able to bring its forces inside Yemen," said al-Thari.
Even with the arrival of its troops, the U.S. government isn't taking chances in Yemen -- closing its embassy in Sanaa through Saturday, September 29, because of the threat of "potential demonstrations," according to the State Department.
Meanwhile, U.S. Marines that were to travel to Sudan have returned pending further talks with the government there, a U.S. official said.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Saturday that Washington has requested "additional security precautions" in Sudan, whose government "has recommitted itself both publicly and privately to continue to protect our (diplomatic) mission."
Sudan's foreign ministry turned down a U.S. request to send "special forces" to protect its embassy in Khartoum, saying Sudanese security forces would protect "the diplomatic missions (and) its guests," according to a report from the state-run Sudan News Agency.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has warned the United States will act to protect its diplomatic facilities if countries in question did not prevent violence and seek justice for attacks.
"Reasonable people and responsible leaders ... need to do everything they can to restore security and hold accountable those behind these violent acts," she said Friday. "And we will ... keep taking steps to protect our personnel around the world."
In Egypt, where violent protests began in earnest last Tuesday and continued to rage for days, government officials have recently criticized violence targeting the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and promised to protect it. Notably, too, the thousands who participated in these demonstrations represent a fraction of the roughly 11 million people in the Egyptian capital.
Still, statements from the Muslim Brotherhood -- the Islamist group that controls parliament and whose former leader of its political party, Mohammed Morsy, is now Egypt's president -- that are in English differ from those in Arabic, which tend to be less sympathetic to diplomatic missions and focus more on the inflammatory "Innocence of Muslims" video.
And anti-American sentiments remain high in certain places, as was evident at a protest outside a mosque Friday. Those participating accused the United States of supporting "international terror" and being an "enemy of God," with some chanting, "Obama, there are a million Osamas."
"Relations between countries of the so-called Arab Spring and the West have not yet taken complete shape," saying this is especially true with Egypt, Prime Minister Hesham Kandil said Saturday, according to the state-run MENA news agency.
On the ground Saturday night, there was a marked change in Cairo -- as relatively calm returned to the area around the U.S. embassy for the first time in nearly a week.

5 questions to Joan La Barbara (composer, performer, educator)
This weekend's Ne(xt)works' Music Without Dance—a multi-event festival focusing on recent and historical musical works originally created to be heard with choreographed movement—was the perfect excuse to interview Joan La Barbara and talk about dance, as well as Phase Two of Storefront Diva…
Your name is usually associated with a life-long relationship with voice but you have also written extensively for dance. What led you to do so?
I love dance. In fact, as a child I wanted to be a dancer but my mother read an article about ballerina's bloody toes and decided not to let me study dance. She gave me piano and art lessons instead.
Anyway, I have watched a great deal of dance over the years and have been particularly influenced by Merce Cunningham's independent moving of dancers in space (which I reflected in my work "Autumn Signal" as I moved the sounds around in space), and also his attitude that whichever way the dancers were facing was front (again, reflected in some of my sound sculpture works). I was very, very fortunate in 1976 to be invited to play my music with Merce in an Events evening. Ned Rothernberg and Peter Zummo were working with me at the time and we did several of my ensemble works as well as some of the solo material. The way the "Events" worked was that Merce told the composer how much time to provide music for, and he allocated sections of his dances to fit that time. I remember that just as I began to sing "Circular Song", Merce began a solo, edging forward carefully one foot at a time, then pulling it back and making sudden gesture flurries with his hands. It was thrilling.

Thanks guys you are so sweet. Thanks for your continuing candles. They have set off cleansing and healing tears again as we are going through a rough patch at the moment. The thought of you still supporting us even though we do not always post about our daily tribulations is just amazing. Your warm fuzzies are being received and we are so grateful. Tia continues to be up and down with being off her food with diarrhea issues. We can have an off night but be fine in the morning or vise versa. She was up last night and talking since it was 24 C / 75 F here overnight. Although she settled quickly I was wide awake for the next 2 hours. It will be 35C /95 F for most of this week. The heat increases her partial seizure activity and restlessness so we are juggling her meds and giving her multiple baths. However even a slight increase in her meds effects her ability to walk. Sigh. I feel like I am on the dreaded ghost house ride at the fair. Sometimes the concern and tension that you feel turns out to be nothing, sometimes the panic makes your heart race, for the most part it is ok as she does settle, but who knows what is around that next corner and when will our luck run out. (Just to clarify I do not like carnival rides and I never have.) I should take a dose of my own medicine and remind myself to look on the bright side as at least she does eat after a while, we can get some antibiotics, we installed a brand new air conditioner a few months ago and there are tail wags and she is very alert and restored as soon as our food appears. I love Stacy's quote about Willoughby which sums up why this is all worth while. "Sometimes there is a dog who is so special he is able to wrap himself so completely around your heart it is impossible to tell where you begin and he ends." May God continue to bless you sweet Willoughby!

Thanks for the update. I am sorry about the ups and downs and rough patches. But, you are doing the best you can for Tia and she sounds like she is still having joy, despite everything. I would trade your hot temps for our cold temps, if I could Keeping sweet Tia and you in my thoughts and hoping that the heat will not bring increased seizures and discomfort and that Tia will continue to have joy in life. Hugs to Tia and a hug for you

Good days and bad days. Sometimes good hours and bad hours. That's the way it is for all of us as we get older, both humans and canines. The bad times don't mean the end is near and the good times don't mean it isn't, which makes it even harder to know how to respond, let alone to feel sane. It is that familiar rollercoaster ride. I hope and pray that yours continues for a long time and that the highs far surpass the lows. Remember to spoil yourself a bit, in addition to spoiling Tia. Hugs and prayers for Tia and for you, Lucy

In my Comments posting earlier this year, I said I had disabled comments on articles on this website to avoid having to deal with spam on another front.
As it turns out, just disabling comments within WordPress wasn't enough. I was getting hit with more and more spam, all being held for moderation. This was getting to be an annoyance, so I looked into it.
Using grep
on the Apache logs, and searching for the IP address that the spammers hit my site from, I found everything was being POSTed to wp-trackback.php. Simply changing the permissions on this file to 0600 (it was installed from a Debian package, so is root owned) has stopped the onslaught of spam, and doesn't seem to have affected anything else.

A Masterful and Magical Study
December 13, 2013
Reviewers agree that Karl Shuker's Mirabilis: A Carnival of Cryptozoology and Unnatural History is a veritable cryptozoological feast. "In this gripping collection Shuker explores the farthest boundaries of natural history, which include some very wild areas indeed," writes Peter Rogerson in Magonia. In his review in Fortean Times, Jerome Clark has one criticism of the book (too many exclamation points!), but otherwise finds it "blissful." Calling "his writing is clear and concise," Clark explains that "the startlingly prolific and well-versed Shuker—who unlike most cryptozoologists, has a doctorate in zoology—expounds with insight on mysteries of the animal realm. Much of the material seems unfamiliar even to those of us who know something of cryptozoology… As always Shuker's breadth of arcane knowledge prompts an amazed and admiring shaking of the head." And finally, writing for Mysterious Universe, Nick Redfern says that "Mirabilis is not just a commentary on case upon case, and creature upon creature. Instead, we see Karl putting on his Sherlock Holmes-style cape and deer-stalker hat, and actually trying to figure out—detective-style—what the many and varied baffling beasts under his microscope actually are. And there are plenty of them… A masterful and magical study of some of the wildest, biggest, weirdest, and freakiest critters said to haunt the darker corners of our world…"
Now Available: Lizard Man
October 25, 2013
What would Lyle Blackburn do for an encore? That question on everyone's mind now has an answer. The second stop on the cryptozoological roadmap for the author of the bestselling book The Beast of Boggy Creek is almost a thousand to the east of Fouke, Arkansas: specifically Bishopville, South Carolina, home of a real-life "creature from the black lagoon." Blackburn's new book, Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster, is the story of a hair-raising, seven-foot-tall, scaly humanoid creature seen by numerous witnesses, investigated by local law officials, and covered by national news media. Now you can follow Lyle Blackburn and his partner, Cindy Lee, as they revisit the sighting locations, speak to the living eyewitnesses, and consider all possible theories in their search for the truth behind the Lizard Man encounters. Nick Redfern calls the book "an enthralling, chillingly atmospheric, and deeply revealing look at a strange and controversial legend." Don't miss it!
Anatomy of a Bestseller
September 13, 2013
If there is one reason Ardy Clarke's Encounters With Star People has turned out to be a bestseller, it's probably because of the unique point of view the author offers on the phenomenon. And that's because no one other than the author "can lay claim to the particular constellation of contacts, skills, and knowledge that make possible Encounters With Star People. Indian communities tend to be closed to outsiders, but over more than two decades, Clarke's cross-tribal ties and sympathetic personality led her to a thousand informants willing to relate their sometimes highly strange UFO experiences," states Jerome Clark in his review of the book in Fortean Times, which he concludes by saying: "Whatever you make of these accounts, you're likely to enjoy this unusual book…" Not surprisingly, Peter Rogerson at Magonia views the book as "an interesting example of cultural assimilation…" but admits that "some of these stories may be based on anomalistic personal experiences…" We'll let Micah Hanks, who straddles these two points of view in his review the book for Mysterious Universe, have the last word: "It is very interesting to see a thorough study of American Indian tales as they relate to the stories of Star People and related phenomenon, but not entirely having to do with the conventional notions of "Native American mythology" associated with legends that may, in truth, only bear some relation to UFOs today (keeping in mind, all the while, that many modern tribes still maintain the view that present day UFO phenomenon actually is a manifestation or, perhaps, even a continuation of known visitations that occurred in the ancient past). Whether the mythos surrounding UFOs necessarily plays into a more complex, modern counterpart involving actual visitation by extraterrestrials is anyone's guess; but the stories Clarke relates in her Encounters With Star People nonetheless inspire a lot of questions about the present day phenomenon. It is a field of study which, if anything, remains rife amidst the Native cultures in modern day America, and certainly points to some pervasive element underlying our legends and folklore that could, at very least, have some strange physical counterpart."
Some Like Them Hard
August 29, 2013
Just as many audiophiles still prefer vinyl records to digital downloads for their music, some book buyers prefer hardback books to trade paperbacks or (horrors!) ebooks. In an effort to please this discriminating audience, we are making a selection of titles from the Anomalist Books catalog available in hardback editions. Those who have held these laminate hardbacks (no dust jacket) in their hands agree that the books are rock solid and beautiful. But please note: these hardback editions will only be available for a limited time.

"A Superb Release"
June 11, 2013
A few men, but so far no women, and not all of them parapsychologists, have reviewed Men and Women of Parapsychology, Personal Reflections, Esprit Vol. 2, edited by Rosemarie Pilkington. It's "a superb release," says fortean Nick Redfern, in his review of the book on Mysterious Universe, "that makes for fascinating reading…The [21] authors share with us not just their thoughts, data and theories relative to parapsychology, but also their inner-most memories and life-experiences that helped sculpt them into the people they are today. It's seldom that you see both angles so successfully fused into one, but [this book] skillfully achieves exactly that." And Tom Ruffles of the Society of Physical Research praises the "excellent idea of Pilkington's to gather reminiscences" of some of the field's "older workers, while there was still time," to produce a book that "tracks those who make a significant contribution to the subject, and who well deserve to have their achievements noted." And Carlos Alvarado, who in his review of the book, writes: "Dr. Pilkington has contributed much to the field by bringing these autobiographical materials together. Similar to the first volume [Esprit, Men and Women of Parapsychology Personal Reflections, Volume 1 ], she continues here to remind us of the personal face of parapsychology. The field, like any other human activity, is not only research, methodology, theory, and publications, but a dynamic gestalt of wishes, aspirations, human courage and perseverance, not to mention difficulties and disappointments. Pilkington's presentation, and her authors', help the reader to unveil the different levels on and themes to which all these people contributed to parapsychology."
Now Available: Operation Trojan Horse
May 15, 2013
You can count the number of must-read UFO books on one hand, but there is no doubt that John A. Keel's Operation Trojan Horse is one work that deserves that honor. Anomalist Books has just reprinted Keel's classic study of UFOs. This edition, authorized by the estate of John Keel, largely follows the original book, first published in 1970. A few corrections from the "updated" 1996 edition have been included, but we chose not to reprint the grumpy preface to the 1996 book or the few hastily added sentences that were little more than a failed attempt to make the book appear new. These tacked-on "updates" were not only unnecessary, they actually diminished the power of the original work, tainting it with an aging writer's bitterness and negativity. Put simply, the original Operation Trojan Horse is a brilliant deconstruction of the UFO mystery. And its message is one that UFO researchers have largely still not come to grips with more than 40 years later. Those with an interest in this subject who choose to ignore this book, do so at their own peril.
"A Useful Resource"
May 13, 2013
Our big, very popular, scholarly book, UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry by Michael Swords, Robert Powell, et al., has received the recognition it deserves from Choice, a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries. The review, authored by R. Fritze of Athens State University, appears in the February 2013 issue. It states, in part: "The bibliography of the UFO phenomenon is vast but often dreary. This straightforward study of the limited topic of government responses to sightings of UFOs…is an exception…Their narrative is firmly based on the available sources. The writing can be dense and sometimes convoluted, reflecting the military sources that form the evidence. A useful resource of the study of a controversial topic." Summing up the review are these much-appreciated words: "Recommended. All levels/libraries."
On Par with Hunter Thompson and Jack Kerouac
May 10, 2013
The reviews of our expanded reprint of John A. Keel's first book, JADOO, are in, and they contain nothing but superlatives and flattering comparisons to some very well known literary figures, past and present. First up we have Nick Redfern, writing in Mysterious Universe: "What is Jadoo about? Well, if I was to say to you: 'Try and imagine a story that is part-Raiders of the Lost Ark, part-Kerouac, part-Bukowski, part-The Da Vinci Code, and part-Hemingway and you have Jadoo,' maybe that would help…If you want to learn about what the man who made Mothman famous (and who, in turn, was made famous by it) was doing long before Point Pleasant, West Virginia, dragged him, magnet-like, into its creepy confines, then buy and read Jadoo." Next up is Micah Hanks writing in the Gralien Report; in Jadoo, he says, we see Keel, "the skeptical journalist as he meanders the fringes of civilization…Jadoo chases Keel's life of mystery and strangeness back to it's humble beginnings, and shares with us all the tragedy, humor, hardships, and enigmatic wonder of a young adventurer whose notes on life in other parts of the world might challenge the finest American journalism of his day, easily on par with the likes of Hunter Thompson and Jack Kerouac." Wow.
A Psychic of Uncommon Ability
May 9, 2013
Robert Cracknell is a British psychic who won fame in the 1970s and 1980s as a psychic detective, and his book The Lonely Sense: The Autobiography of a Psychic Detective "makes for interesting reading" writes reviewer Robert McLuhan in the Spring 2013 issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration. McLuhan concludes his overview of the book with these words: "…readers who acknowledge the genuineness of psychic functioning, either from experience or from responsible research, may be willing to acknowledge that Cracknell is a psychic of uncommon ability. It's true that his descriptions show the ambiguities and complexities involved in detection work, for instance having to persuade skeptical policemen to follow up apparently nonsensical hunches and often coming up with predictions that prove to be accurate but that however do not necessarily contribute directly to a resolution. However, in these and other ways the book provides valuable insights into a psychic's inner development and the realities of life in the public eye."

Bringing a customer to the site and hold on is a because you you lost money that was your that was out of your pocket right -- did you take injured Max out your credit cards or pay for that.
I did yes -- Max -- all my credit cards but as many -- people would offer and -- recently -- about it paid off.
Correct yes I think I did and so an issue that's how was I it was started with saying listen if I -- by 101000 of one item.
To get that price that I need to really.
You don't have the -- at 90% off retail -- -- 200 or 500 itself low cost.
Now we're at a point where we're buying 101000 TomTom units were actually by far more than that.
And and were able to buy at a price -- we can sell for 39 and still turn a nice profit but do you do you hold these items you have a warehouse in which all the stuff is held.
We sure do yes we buy -- we we've kind of we have industry leading buying team kind of zones and -- certain items.
Buys them large volume 102030000.
Even we put him in the warehouse we do some quality control testing.
That we get the creative folks and our people to particularly images right up the up.
Descriptions and we feature of the week calculator by the way I'm looking at another item here a Cuisinart I -- a whole collection -- from Greece are not -- Individual knives -- -- for 4050 barks.
How much is this whole set of 99 -- going for.
Well the set weeks we sold in the past for 29 -- -- nine.
And it's out of markets -- -- stop -- are not talking about and -- I don't knock offs are right.
-- these are real and I'll tell you the manufactures some initially we were chasing all the manufactures vendors to find these deals.
But we've kind of -- up what where they're actually chasing us.
And looking for you know for -- the -- their deals and we don't -- effect that the target market price.
Because -- featuring -- for one specific day.
Now at midnight the deal expires so it doesn't really affect all the other retailers like Circuit City Best Buy whatever.
It's only up for one day -- manufactures accepted and they can on -- a lot of merchandise on us that way this week and for example.
We sold a 109000.
Of one -- Units and by the way this is this is it's not just electronics her at -- you have I have a ring in my hand this is.
I guess real style real sapphire right.
Correct yeah we initially started with electronics and -- that's what I know best I'm a kind of a self proclaimed gadget geek anonymous and has been added the demands you know that we put up a watch one day on the main site and customers remind us and we'd love to have watches featured.
And we do we always we this and our customers like cash for like I would think that Ashford would be really upset that your doing it because that's -- into their business right.
You would think but -- I wouldn't think so because we're only offer that item for one day they're offering regular line items.
And that's really a big part of how we're able to do what we do because you look at other stores like you know Amazon they're selling.
A 100000 difference feuds and they can move that they of one or 200 at each were offering wants specific unit and will move 101000 is -- -- unit.
So it's very quickly though there must if it's a great concept making millions there must be competitors are snippet -- your heels right.
Not really know we're you know when will we by the that's the usually close up a lots and by the entire a lot so.
Nobody else is really off and anywhere near our price again like if you're -- fellas relationships when you develop relationships with the folks.
That becomes -- that's still very important businesses and actually and what you would think our competitors really -- are deals because.
That's -- TomTom that was up 39 you about it Best Buy for 109 yes so they're just supporting our deal.
By showing how great are up prices really are by the way you never gave me a price and is ring how much is this ring.
