Cloud security can't be ignored. Intel can help you manage the most critical security challenges—data and infrastructure protection and security compliance—with technologies that promote pervasive data encryption, protect infrastructure, and build higher security assurance that can be leveraged for compliance.
Organizations can no longer rely on firewalls as a single point of control for the cloud, and security practices must expand beyond the data center to include edge systems and endpoint devices. What do you need to know about cloud security?
With a solid understanding of the fundamentals of security in the cloud, you can start planning how to protect your assets at every service layer. Streamline the process and create a roadmap for success using our practical tools, resources, and planning guides.
Your next step will be to select the right technology to safeguard your cloud. Intel® technologies, in combination with products from our strategic partner McAfee, extend protection throughout the security stack—from silicon to software to network.
Cloud security survey from Intel captures key findings from 800 IT managers in the U.S., the UK, China, and Germany that provide insight into cloud computing security concerns, and how those concerns might be alleviated.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.
Thomas Dozeman talks about the importance of memory both for God and for humanity and how memory is crucial to the story and the celebration of Passover.

4th Annual NHYC / SDYC Islands Race
March 10, 2013 James Gilmore, Skipper of Uncontrollable Urge and Crew
As we try to piece together the horrific events of Friday night and early Saturday morning, the crew of Uncontrollable Urge wants to express their appreciation for the support of the sailing and land-based communities at this difficult time. We are all grieving and share in the loss of this loved family man and team member. There are no words to express how much Craig meant to each of us, and we know how much his loss is felt in the Williams family.
We would also like to thank the US Coast Guard for their assistance and professionalism. Without their heroism, the outcome of this tragedy would have been much worse.
Thanks also to San Diego Yacht Club, Silver Gate Yacht Club, and Newport Harbor Yacht Club for their assistance and understanding.
Lastly, we ask that people donate to the memorial fund that has been established to assist the Craig Williams Family. The fund can be found at www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/Honor-the-memory-of-Craig-Williams-husband-father-and-friend/46040.
On Friday March 9, 2013 at approximately 9:26 pm, while participating on the 4th annual Islands Race, the crew reported rudder failure on their VHF marine radio. They were in the vicinity of San Clemente Island at the time.
Uncontrollable Urge is a Columbia 32 Carbon sail boat hailing from Silver Gate Yacht Club, owned and skippered by James Gilmore. Crew included Mike Mike Skillicorn, Doug Pajak, Craig Williams, Ryan Georgianna and Vince Valdes. The crew attempted to launch a life raft and attempted to set an anchor before abandoning the vessel to swim to shore. The vessel was reportedly destroyed by the surf at the shoreline of San Clemente Island.
A Coast Guard helicopter crew hoisted the six sailors and brought them to the San Diego Coast Guard Sector where they were met by emergency medical personnel for transport to a local hospital. Unfortunately, one of the crewmembers was deceased. The San Diego County Medical Examiner identified the man who was killed as 36-year-old Craig Thomas Williams, of San Diego.

I've bought a new place to live.
I'll be moving house in a few weeks and my Friends & Family have been ragging on at me to get my act together and buy some furniture.
They're all quite right because my entire worldly possessions amount to no more than a beautiful guitar, a few records and drawings, and mountains of dog-eared books.
…So when I move in, I'm not gonna have a bed to sleep on or a chair to plant myself in.
So that's that.
I've half decided to take everyone's advice and so I bit the bullet and ordered a big ol' weird purple 3 seater sofa.
It's like something out of a Tim Burton movie.
It's ridiculous and absurd and I figured that I could sleep on that until I get around to buying a bed.
Problem solved.
I work days and nights so I'm hardly at home but when I am, I like to sit down and work on whatever illustration project I'm into at the time.
So…I'd better buy a desk and a drawing lamp I suppose, right?
I'm not really one for decorating.
I hate things that match and I get sad when I see so many people's houses completely decked out in wall-to-wall IKEA shit.
Right now, I rent a place that looks out onto a big Victorian graveyard and the new place I've bought looks out onto the same graveyard because it's next door to the place I'm about to stop paying rent for.
It's funny how things work out but what I'm getting at here is this:
I'm rarely at home, and when I am at home I'm drawing.
When I'm not drawing, I'm either up the graveyard or staring out of the window at it.
For me, it's better than sitting in front of a TV every night.
Britain and America really DO have talent folks but you won't find it on Saturday night TV.
Anyways, me being a stubborn old man, the way I see it, what's the point in decorating the inside of my place if I spend all of my time looking outside?
Ach, I suppose that's not a very good way to think but I've been living alone for a long time now and I'm set in my crazy weirdo ways.
If I was selfish and had no pals, I'd just paint the entire flat black and sit on my absurd purple sofa all night looking out of the window and if you know me, you know that I would.
…However, (sigh) you will be pleased to know that I'm not gonna do that and get this!
I've been shopping for lamps and desks and paint today and I'm not talking about black paint either!
I hope I'm not lightening up after all these years
I don't think I am because I've decided to take my decorating inspiration from someone I really look up to…(Drumroll)…
Vigo The Carpathian!
He is Vigo!
You are like zee buzzing of flies to him!
Heh heh, only kidding.
I'm only half kidding with you.
Shopping for desks and lamps proved to be surprisingly easy.
A desk is a desk so I found one of those straight away and as long as it gives off light, a lamp is a lamp.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I plan to decorate my new place with weird and wonderful stuff and whilst messing around on the internet today I found this:
A massive chandelier made out of human bones and skulls!
I thought to myself: "SOLD!" but it turns out that I couldn't buy it because that chandelier hangs in Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic where the whole place is decorated with human skeletons.
My Girlfriend, friends and family were all against me buying a place that overhangs a graveyard in the first place so I don't want to completely alienate them all by decorating the place like an ossuary inspired by Vigo The Carpathian.
Not yet anyway.
NOTE: Don't even think about burgling my place because I'm hardly there because I have 2 state of the art legitimate alarms rigged up directly to the cops and 1 not so legitimate alarm which will bury an axe in your fucking burgling forehead as soon as you step through my door.

There's nothing we love more than waking up to the smell of sizzling bacon and freshly brewed coffee. Especially when we don't have to do the dishes after we eat. Auberge on the Vineyard in Cloverdale, California gets this. Set beside scenic vineyards and lavender fields, the B&B serves up French-inspired breakfast dishes like Classic Quiche Lorraine (using the innkeeper's mom's original recipe!).
Just in case a trip to Cloverdale isn't in your near future, here's how it's done (but we suggest you make your way out west to try Auberge's crème de la crème quiche in person):
Pre-baked deep-dish pie crust
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
Chicken broth
6 slices of thick bacon
8 ounces Gruyere cheese
6 large eggs
2 3/4 cups half and half
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste
Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. As the onions start to dry out, add a little broth to the saucepan to keep the onions moist. You may need to do this a few times until the onions have become very soft and are lightly browned.
Step 2: Cut the bacon into small bits and cook in separate saucepan until nicely browned. Set aside.
Step 3: Grate the Gruyere and set aside.
Step 4: Blend together the eggs, half and half and spices, reserving 1/8 cup of the half and half to use to dilute the cornstarch. Once you've mixed in the cornstarch, blend the remaining half and half briefly into the mixture. The bottom of the quiche will not be soggy as a result. (This is the first trick.)
Step 5: Spread the soft onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the pie crust. Layer the bacon and cheese on top, and then pour the egg mixture until the crust is filled to the top.
Step 6: Place the quiche on a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for 1 1/4 hours until the top is lightly browned and the mixture is set. (Lower oven temperature is the second trick, which keeps the quiche lighter in texture.)
Step 7: Cool the quiche for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Do you go to the gym feeling great, expecting to come out feeling super pumped, but end up feeling like you didn't really do anything? The question that most people ask is, "what can I do to feel my muscle pumping after a workout?" You may be lifting hard everyday, but many a times, can't manage to feel your worked muscle pumping through your shirt. The truth is there is a simple and scientific reason for this. But before I begin, I must inform you that achieving a muscle pump should not be the main goal of your workouts, it should only be a bonus. The trick to having super muscle pumping, is based on how and what you eat. It's all in your diet. How you workout is secondary to this. With a proper diet and training style, you can manage to keep your muscles pumping for up to two hours post workout.
Lets first talk about your diet. Ever heard of carbohydrate loading? That is the key to a great muscle pump. Taking this simple step with enhance your workouts due to the stored glycogen (energy) in your muscles. Try to load up on your carbs the day before and on the day of your workout. Try to still keep the carbs clean. For example whole grain bread, pasta or brown rice are a great nutritious source of carbohydrates. Remember to also load up on carbohydrates after your workout, because you will have drained your muscle stores during the workout. At this time your muscles will eat up the carbs like water to a sponge.
Drinking as much milk as you can. Not only does milk have great amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, but it is also loaded with calcium, which aids in muscular relaxation. The main reason this is good for you is because while you are doing a set your muscles get pumped and blood is squeezed out, and when your muscles relax they refill with blood. Muscle is like a sponge, ring it out by contraction, and fill it up by relaxation. When your muscles fill with blood, you really feel the results of your set. The best time to drink milk is about 30 minutes to an hour before your workout.
It has been known among many bodybuilders that a good stretch to the working muscle can also speed up muscle growth and increased muscle pumping. You should especially stretch when you first begin with your workout. This will also prevent you from getting injured.
Finally, the way you workout matters. Do each and every set to 90% failure. It is when you reach that point of failure everything happens. If you never reach that point within each set, then the set is wasted. Always remember that high intensity for short time is much better for muscle pumping, than low intensity for a couple of hours.
Good luck!!

Linux Plumbers Conference: Day 2 Wrap Up
The second day of the Linux Plumbers Conference in Portland, Oregon began with an informative address by Jonathan Corbet of LWN.net. After Corbet talked about the challenge of sustaining such a high rate of kernel development (4-5 releases a year), attendees went on to face the biggest challenge of the day: choosing from the multitude of available sessions.
From Linux server management to the well-attended power management microconference, the LPC had something for nearly everyone. Presenters didn't just offer their solutions for developer consumption. A couple of the speakers made it clear that they were discussing the problems they were having in an attempt to put the brains in the room to use. It was a successful approach – more than once, audience members contributed their skills to the given problem.
The day culminated with a cocktail social where the buzz in the room was the sound of verbal hacking. Small groups gathered in corners, in empty conference rooms, and in the hallways for scheduled – and impromptu – birds of a feather sessions, just as the conference organizers hoped they would, to push project development one step further.

The owner of a woodlot near Grand Falls N.B. told the CBC he's lucky to be alive after a bear attacked him in the forest.
Gilles Cyr was out for a walk through his woodlot when suddenly a large black object ran out of the woods and attacked him. To prevent the bear from killing him, Cyr grabbed its tongue in a desperate bid for survival.
"When I opened up my eyes it was on top of me – with the friggin' noise, it's crazy the way it growls. Right from the stomach. It's not from the mouth, it's just inside. His mouth was wide open right in front of my face so the last thing I remember I had his tongue in my hand and I didn't want to let go because he was trying to fight me off. So he was hitting me with his claws, so I says, 'If you're going to hurt me, I'm going to hurt you too.' So he was biting his tongue at the same time," said Cyr.
Cyr explained he grabbed the bear's tongue out of instinct and managed to escape behind a tree. The bear still managed to claw his stomach and bit his knee. The animal eventually lost interest and decided to walk away.
"For a second, I thought I was dead … that's the first thing that comes to your mind when you open your eyes and see that friggin' mouth full of teeth and a tongue in there. It's like … an extreme sport," he said with a chuckle.
Cyr also got permission from a warden to track down the animal and kill it but also explained that he would require a special permit to do so.
Ontario's black bear population has grown from 12,000 to 17,000 in just eight years. A drop in hunting is believed to be the cause of the population's skyrocketing growth.

Helen Hunt Movies
A precociously talented youngster,
Helen Hunt
was drawing paychecks as a television actress from the age of ten. Before she was 17, she had appeared as a regular on two series,
Swiss Family Robinson
(1975) and The Fitzpatricks (1977).
proved she was more than just a workaday child actor with her starring performance in the fact-based 1981 TV movie
The Miracle of Kathy Miller
, in which she played a high school athlete who overcame severe mental and physical damage brought on by a highway accident.
While she had been appearing in films as early as
in 1977,
was never groomed as a star player, and it is possible that her resemblance to another child actress,
Jodie Foster
, held her back from more important roles.
After taking on her first adult role in the 1982 sitcom It Takes Two,
's film assignments improved, with sizable roles in
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Peggy Sue Got Married
Project X
Next of Kin
(1989), and
The Waterdance
(1991). She also gained a small measure of cult status by appearing in a brace of science fiction films, including
Trancers II
(1991) and
Trancers III
(1992). That same year,
landed her longest-lasting acting assignment to date, as the co-star of the
Paul Reiser
-created comedy series
Mad About You
. During the show's seven-year run, she won both Emmy and Golden Globe awards for her portrayal of Jamie Buchman. In 1996,
had her most successful film role to date in the blockbuster
. The following year, she topped that when she received a Best Actress Oscar for playing a caring waitress and single mother who befriends acerbic, obsessive-compulsive author Melvin Udall (
Jack Nicholson
, who also won an Oscar for his performance) in
As Good As It Gets
. After
Mad About You
ended in 1999, Hunt appeared in films by several veteran directors, including
Robert Zemeckis
Cast Away
Robert Altman
Dr. T and The Women
[2000]), and
Woody Allen
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
[2001]). She starred in Life x 3 on Broadway in 2003.
In 2005, Hunt joined the star-studded cast of HBO's two-part miniseries Empire Falls in the role of Janine, ex-wife of Miles (Ed Harris), the story's central character. The actress made her feature directorial debut in Then She Found Me (for which Hunt also starred, produced, and wrote the screenplay), an adaptation of Elinore Lipman's best-selling novel of the same name. The story follows a Philadelphia schoolteacher (Hunt) whose long-lost birth mother (Bette Miller) reappears at just as her daughter is careening into a midlife crisis. Hunt played a supportive mother in Soul Surfer (2011), an inspirational drama based on the true tale of a surfer who returned to the sport after tragically losing an arm. In 2012 she played a sex surrogate helping a man in an iron lung lose his virginity for director Ben Lewin in The Sessions, a part that earned her rave reviews and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A lifelong surfer who always felt at home in the sea, Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb) honed her surfing skills in Kauai, and went on to compete in numerous surfing competitions.

A man struggles to keep his family and himself together under trying circumstances in this independent drama from writer and director Richard Levine. Ned (Liev Schreiber) works as a writer for a television series, "Mercy Medical," and his job has become increasingly difficult as his producer Garrett (Eddie Izzard) demands increasingly outlandish storylines; Ned objects, but the new guy on the staff, Brian (David Harbour), is more than happy to deliver. At home, Ned's wife, Jeannie (Helen Hunt), is dividing her time between running a business and looking after her elderly father, Ernie (Brian Dennehy), whose uncertain temper is all the more precarious as his ill health has pushed him into suicidal depression. With Helen occupied with her dad's problems, Ned has to deal with their two sons, teenage Jonah (Ezra Miller), who has recently acknowledged his homosexuality, and younger Ethan (Skyler Fortgang), a talented musician deeply troubled by his grandfather's ill health.

Twenty-two people become unwitting participants in a tragic and defining moment of the 1960s in this period drama from actor and director Emilio Estevez. It's early June in 1968, and the California presidential primary elections are occupying the minds of many in the Golden State, with Robert F. Kennedy in a close race against Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey. The Kennedy campaign staff has set up camp at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, while the staff and guests become observers as the brother of fallen president John F. Kennedy sets out to pick up where his sibling left off. Paul (William H. Macy) is the manager of the Ambassador, and his wife, Miriam (Sharon Stone), is a hairdresser who runs' the hotel's beauty salon. Angela (Heather Graham) is a receptionist working the hotel's switchboard who has been sleeping with Paul behind Miriam's back. Timmons (Christian Slater) is in charge of the hotel's restaurant and catering department, and makes no secret of his dislike of the African-Americans and Latinos under his employ. Miguel (Jacob Vargas) and Jose (Freddy Rodriguez) are two young Chicanos on the kitchen staff who have it in for Timmons, while Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) is an older black man who counsels them on dealing with their rage. Virginia Fallon (Demi Moore) sings in the hotel's cocktail lounge and has a serious problem with alcohol; her husband, Tim (Emilio Estevez), is a Kennedy supporter and also her manager, and he's nearing the end of his rope in dealing with her problem. William (Elijah Wood) is a young man desperate to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam; Diane (Lindsay Lohan) is a pretty young woman dating William's brother who agrees to marry him so William can avoid being drafted, though William is clearly infatuated with her, while she considers this a marriage in name only. John Casey (Anthony Hopkins) is one of the owners of the Ambassador, and Nelson (Harry Belafonte) is an old friend who works at the hotel. And Jack (Martin Sheen) is a wealthy Kennedy campaign financier who is married to Samantha (Helen Hunt), an attractive but much younger woman. Bobby also features Joshua Jackson, Nick Cannon, and Shia LaBeouf as young Kennedy campaign volunteers, while Ashton Kutcher, Joy Bryant, Kip Pardue, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead also highlight the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This two-part HBO miniseries is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Richard Russo. Having long since sacrificed youthful ideals and values to remain in his New England hometown for the sake of his family, middle-aged Miles Roby (Ed Harris) finds his "secure" little world disintegrating when his wife, Janine (Helen Hunt), divorces him. Equally vexing is the emotional and financial pressure exerted by domineering town matriarch Francine Whiting (Joanne Woodward), who owns (among other things) the Empire Grill, the little diner that Ed has run for several years. As he reflects on what he considers to be a wasted life, Ed flashes back to memories of his curmudgeonly father, Max (Paul Newman, who also executive-produced the miniseries); his long-dead mother, Grace (Robin Wright Penn); his scapegrace brother, David (Aidan Quinn); his blossoming daughter "Tick" (Danielle Panabaker); and Francine's late husband, C.B. Whiting (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Also tied in with Miles's reminiscences is the spectacular saga of the rise and fall of Empire Falls, a once-prosperous mill town that has fallen into disrepair -- as have the town's once-rigid and inviolate social barriers. Despite the initial bleakness of Miles' plight, and the revelation of innumerable family skeletons as the plot progresses, the story is ultimately both heartwarming and life-affirming. Filmed on location in Maine, Empire Falls originally aired on May 28 and 29, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One of Oscar Wilde's most popular plays is given a new screen interpretation in this period comedy. In New York in the early '30s, Mrs. Erlynne (Helen Hunt) is a widow who lives comfortably through the largesse of several married men, and when she runs out of wealthy suitors in Manhattan, she decides to find greener pastures among the wealthy elite of Italy's Amalfi coast. Mrs. Erlynne sets her sights on Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers), a wealthy Englishman who is married to the young, innocent and very beautiful Meg (Scarlett Johansson). Mrs. Erlynne gingerly tries to separate Robert from his wife and his money, fueling suspicions within Amalfi society as well as the audience that they are involved. Humiliated and ready to beat him at his own game, Meg begins to consider the advances of the handsome Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore), one of her husband's close friends. In the midst of all the attempted infidelity, the genially eccentric Tuppy (Tom Wilkinson) struggles to win Mrs. Erlynne's hand, while only one of the interconnected parties know that she carries a shocking secret. A Good Woman was based on Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, with its title drawn from that show's subtitle, "A Play About a Good Woman." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Writer and director Woody Allen returns to the Manhattan of the past with this romantic comedy set in 1940, the era of fedora hats and gumshoe detectives. Allen stars as C.W. Briggs, an insurance investigator whose razor-sharp instincts have just led to the successful conclusion of another case, the recovery of a stolen Picasso. While he's a valued employee, Briggs is under fire from efficiency expert Betty Ann Fitzgerald (Helen Hunt) for his antiquated attitudes and refusal to accept modern crime-solving techniques such as fingerprinting. C.W. claims he puts himself directly into the criminal mind, a skill that will do him no good when he and Betty Ann are hypnotized at a Rainbow Room gathering one night by the magician Volton (David Ogden Stiers). As a parlor trick to entertain their co-workers, Volton makes C.W. and Betty Ann believe they're a couple that's deeply in love. But the performer secretly keeps up the ruse after the party's over, calling C.W. to whisper a magic code word and ordering the detective to rob wealthy homes with security systems that C.W. himself has designed. With no memory of his thieving activities, a frustrated C.W. can't solve the high-profile jewel burglaries, while he and Betty Ann struggle with their odd new attraction for each other, made more complicated by the fact that Betty Ann is romantically involved with their boss (Dan Aykroyd). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A man finds himself getting an unexpected crash course in the psychology of contemporary women in this romantic comedy. Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a successful advertising executive living in Chicago who has long fancied himself a ladies' man, though he has precious little understanding of women beyond figuring out how to seduce them. One day, Nick receives a substantial electric shock in an accident in his bathroom; while he's not seriously injured, when he comes to, he discovers something remarkable has happened -- he can suddenly hear what women are thinking. At first, Nick finds himself learning all sorts of things he didn't want to know, but he also realizes how this can be used to his advantage -- especially after his old boss, Dan Wanamaker (Alan Alda) is replaced by a woman, Darcy Maguire (Helen Hunt). But Nick begins to feel differently about his unusual gift when he discovers Darcy is infatuated with him, and he finds himself falling for her. What Women Want also features Bette Midler as Nick's analyst, Delta Burke and Valerie Perrine as two of his co-workers, and Marisa Tomei as one of Nick's significant others. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Robert Altman reteams with Cookie's Fortune scribe Anne Rapp for this tale of a Dallas gynecologist and the parade of anxious patients, haggard family members, and potential love interests who come his way. Richard Gere plays the titular role of Dr. Sullivan Travis, a calm, successful, and much sought-after ob-gyn who witnesses his normally stable life come apart over the course of one rainy autumn. As the film opens, Dr. T and his wife Kate (Farrah Fawcett) are preparing for the wedding of their Dallas Cowboys cheerleader daughter Dee Dee (Kate Hudson). Their other daughter -- the Kennedy-assassination conspiracy theorist Connie (Tara Reid) -- has her doubts about the impending nuptials, but Dr. T chalks them up to routine sibling jealousy. Meanwhile, escaping a messy divorce, boozy sister-in-law Peggy (Laura Dern) moves into the Travis household with her three toddler daughters in tow. For release, Dr. T finds solace target shooting and golfing (occasionally at the same time) with his buddies, and at his country club, he meets a beguiling golf pro, Bree (Helen Hunt). When the childlike Kate loses her grip on reality during a flatware shopping spree, Bree offers to give the kindly doctor some lessons in his swing -- both on and off the fairways. Dr. T had its North American Premiere at the 2000 Toronto International Film Fest. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Mad About You: Season 07
The sixth season of Mad About You was marked by flagging ratings and ever-increasing audience dissatisfaction over the self-indulgences perpetrated by the series' creators and stars, which reached a summit (or nadir) with the single-take, "real-time" episode, "The Conversation." Nonetheless, NBC wanted to hold on to the Emmy-winning sitcom, especially since the demise of Seinfeld had passed the cudgel of offbeat comedy to Mad About You. So eager was the network to keep the series on its schedule that it offered both Paul Reiser (Paul Buchman) and Helen Hunt (Jamie Buchman) a daunting 1,000,000 dollars per episode -- a salary increase that, astonishingly enough, neither actor had requested. Once Reiser and Hunt had acquiesced, Mad About You was a firm go for a seventh season, remaining in its familiar Tuesday-night berth (albeit one hour later). While John Pankow, Louis Zorich, and Cynthia Harris were back as, respectively, Paul Buchman's cousin Ira and Paul's parents, Burt and Sylvia, several other longtime regulars were conspicuous by their absence, notably Leila Kenzle (Fran Devanow), who had joined the cast of the new UPN sitcom DiResta. Anne Ramsay -- now billed as Anne Elizabeth Ramsey -- made only guest appearances as Jamie Buchman's sister, Lisa; ditto Robin Bartlett as Paul's gay sibling Debbie. The emphasis of the series was weaned away from the Buchmans' baby daughter, Mabel, refocusing on the relationship between Paul and Jamie -- a relationship that proved to be far more fragile than in previous seasons. Despite the efforts to return to its roots by concentrating on Paul and Jamie's romantic travails, Mad About You continued its precipitous ratings plunge, prompting NBC to move the series from Tuesday to Monday evenings. Thanks to constant pre-emptions, the series was barely seen at all during March and April of 1999, and when it finally returned with new episodes, it was greeted with almost universal indifference. The program briefly rallied with its one-hour finale, a futuristic episode wherein the grown-up Mabel Buchman (Janeane Garofalo) looked back upon the lives of her parents (and their friends) during the first two decades of the 21st century. Perhaps because everyone knew that the series was on its last legs, Mad About You received no Emmy awards for its 1998-1999 output, though guest star Mel Brooks was honored at the American Comedy Awards ceremony. ~ Rovi

James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News) directed this $50 million-plus romantic comedy, set in Manhattan. Dysfunctional, acid-tongued romance novelist Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson), who suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, takes pride in his ability to offend. At a nearby cafe, the only waitress willing to stand up to his sarcastic tirades is Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt), a single mother struggling to raise her chronically asthmatic son. In Melvin's West Village apartment building, talented contemporary artist Simon Nye (Greg Kinnear) lives across the hall from Melvin. Simon is the current darling of the New York art world, reason enough to draw Melvin's verbal fire, but Simon's gay lifestyle is further grist for the novelist's malicious mill. These three New Yorkers, none of whom appears to have a chance in hell at finding true happiness, discover their fates intertwined because of the fourth complicated character in the piece, Verdell, a tiny Brussels Griffon dog (played by newcomer Jill, after a 15-week training program). Melvin seems to have no friends or family, and he lives alone, working on his 62nd book.
When Simon goes into the hospital after a brutal mugging, Melvin has to take care of Verdell, and the dog actually warms Melvin's cold heart -- to the degree that he sets up unsolicited medical care for Carol's son. Eventually, Melvin is cornered into driving Simon and Carol to Baltimore, and during a hotel stopover, Melvin confesses to Carol, "You make me want to be a better man." The trip becomes an odyssey of self-realization for all three. Locations included Brooklyn's Prospect Park (Carol's neighborhood) and Greenwich Village (where Melvin's building is on 12th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Other exteriors were shot in downtown Los Angeles, where a dilapidated transient hotel at the corner of 4th Street and Main was transformed into the chic cafe where Carol works. Sets for the Simon/Melvin apartment interiors were erected on a soundstage at the Sony Pictures lot. Simon's paintings were created for the film by New York artist Billy Sullivan, whose work is part of the modern art collection at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Mad About You: Season 06
Not surprisingly, most of Mad About You's sixth season was built around little Mabel Buchman, newborn daughter of leading players Paul and Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt). Many longtime fans of the series felt that the introduction of Mabel was the "jump the shark" moment, in which the quality of the writing began sliding downhill. Conversely, the series garnered a whole new crop of fans, else why would NBC cease its "football" treatment of the property, uncharacteristically allowing Mad About You to remain in the same (Tuesday night) time slot for two consecutive seasons? (For the record, its competition included CBS' JAG, ABC's Soul Man, FOX's Tuesday-evening movie package, and UPN's Clueless.) The series "new" regulars this year out were not all that new. Graduating from recurring character status, Robin Bartlett was now seen on a weekly basis as Paul's gay sister, Debbie; likewise, Louis Zorich's and Cynthia Harris' appearances as Paul's parents, Burt and Sylvia, became more frequent. Also, Paxton Whitehead, who had played the Buchmans' snooty British neighbor, Hal Conway, during season one, returned to the role, which for the last several years had been essayed by Jim Piddock. Still an Emmy Award "magnet," Mad About You earned Helen Hunt her third Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and Mel Brooks his second statuette for his recurring guest appearances as Paul Buchman's philosophical Uncle Phil. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt and Carey Elwes may be billed as the stars of Twister, but the film's real attractions are the cyclones themselves. Best experienced in a theater, the nail-biting, blow-the-audience-out-of-their-seats computer generated graphics, cutting edge sound and other special effects are designed to take viewers straight into the roaring funnel of a gigantic tornado. In order to focus on special effects and action, the story is simple and the characters are drawn in broad strokes with little depth. Jo Harding (Hunt) became a storm chaser (a meteorologist who photographs and scientifically studies tornadoes in the field) after a large twister sucked her hapless daddy into oblivion when she was a girl. Bill (Paxton) was a storm chaser too, but left to become a successful weatherman. His change of profession ruined his marriage to Jo. Before separating, the Hardings invented DOROTHY, a gizmo designed to release thousands of tiny sensors when a tornado passes over it. The Hardings hope the information transmitted by the sensors will provide insight into the nature of the whirling windstorms. Backed by a large corporation, the villainous Dr. Jonas Miller (Elwes) has created a similar machine. Neither gadget has been field tested and both groups of storm chasers are anxious to find tornadoes. At the peak of the worst twister season in decades, Bill shows up at Jo's truck with his prissy fiancee Melissa (Jami Gertz) so Jo can sign divorce papers. Suddenly a twister is spotted. With little hesitation, Bill rejoins the mad rush to reach it in time to activate DOROTHY. Jonas and his team are right behind them. Throughout the day the storms become worse and the rivalrous race becomes more intense. As they continue facing incredible dangers together Jo and Bill find renewed love while poor Melissa finds only an intense desire to get away from these storm-obsessed lunatics. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Mad About You launched its fifth season with yet another time slot change, moving to Tuesday evenings opposite ABC's top-rated Roseanne, CBS's new The Promised Land, FOX's package of first-run films, and Moesha from the upstart UPN. Picking up where season four left off, the fifth season began with the temporarily separated Paul and Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt) enjoying a tender reconciliation with Jamie's announcement of her long-awaited (and much-delayed) pregnancy. It was therefore inevitable that this season would end with the birth of the Buchman baby, an adventure that all but required a one-hour finale episode. In between, the stories involved Jamie's search for a decent obstetrician, a choice which was narrowed down to the colorfully yclept Dr. Von Derphal (John O'Hurley) and Joan Golfinos (Suzie Plakson), the girlfriend of Paul's out-of-the-closet sister, Debbie (Robin Bartlett, still one season away from her matriculation from recurring to regular character). Meanwhile, Jamie's filmmaker husband, Paul, busied himself with a documentary about his own family, bringing a whole new array of colorful characters into the Mad About You fold, chief among them the great Mel Brooks as philosophical Uncle Phil. Other new fifth season characters included Marvin (Jeff Garvin), handyman to Paul's cousin Ira (John Pankow) and tough-talking therapist Sheila Kleinman (Mo Gaffney). Elsewhere, Harry Groener replaced Alan Ruck as Jamie's politician boss, Lance Brockwell, while the revolving-door casting of Jamie's parents, Theresa and Gus Stemple, briefly settled upon TV icons Carol Burnett and Carroll O'Connor. Finally, Anne Ramsay, previously a series regular in the role of Jamie's sister, Lisa Stemple, was now seen merely on a recurring basis. This year, Emmy awards went (again) to Helen Hunt as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and to Mel Brooks and Carol Burnett for their sporadic guest appearances. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After enjoying a year's worth of high ratings by virtue of its "Must See TV" Thursday night time slot, Mad About You entered its fourth season in a new prime-time berth on Sunday evening, opposite CBS's Cybil and ABC's Lois and Clark. The move neither helped nor hurt the series, which resurfaced on Tuesdays when season five rolled around. Beyond the addition of a few new recurring characters -- among Gates McFadden as Paul Buchman's new boss, Allison Rourke; Alan Ruck as Jamie's new employer, Lance Brockwell; and Hank Azaria (the then boyfriend of series star Helen Hunt) as Nat the dogwalker, Mad About You embarked on some fresh story tangents as well. Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) was hired as a documentary filmmaker for the Explorer Channel cable service, Jamie Buchman (Helen Hunt) and her friend Fran Devanow (Leila Kenzle) opened their own PR firm, and so forth. The biggest new development was the pregnancy of Jamie Buchman -- or rather, the non-pregnancy, since actual conception was held off as long as the scriptwriters (and the audience) were able to endure the weight. Having scored excellent ratings in past seasons by offering such pop-icon guest stars as Carl Reiner and John Astin, the series continued in this vein throughout season four, most memorably in the episodes featuring Yoko Ono and several former regulars of the 1960s variety show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. In addition to maintaining its loyal viewership during its fourth year on the air, Mad About You also garnered another Emmy award, this one for series regular Helen Hunt as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Friends: The One with Two Parts, Part 1
This episode marks the first appearance of Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) twin sister, Ursula (also played by Kudrow), who is the exact opposite of the considerate and peace-loving Phoebe. Joey starts to date Ursula, which annoys Phoebe because she doesn't get along with her sister. Meanwhile, Ross (David Schwimmer) attends Lamaze class with Susan (Jessica Hecht) and Carol (Jane Sibbett). As Carol voices her anxiety about going through with the pregnancy, Ross also begins to come to terms with his role as a father; much humor is made over who gets to play the father role in the class exercises. Across town, Chandler (Matthew Perry) is dating Nina (Jennifer Grant), an employee he cannot bring himself to fire -- instead, he tells the other office workers that she is insane and too imbalanced to let go. When Nina asks why her co-workers are avoiding her, Chandler says that perhaps they are jealous of their relationship. After Marcel, Ross' monkey, changes Monica's (Courteney Cox) TV to Spanish mode, the gang sits around and watches it. This leads Joey to make the astute observation that "Urkel" is spelled the same way in Spanish as it is in English. Helen Hunt and Leila Kenzle show up at Central Perk as Jamie and Fran, their characters from Mad About You. This episode is part one of a two-part episode that originally aired on February 23, 1995. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

It might have been a carryover from the lager-filled Shamrock Run a few blocks away. Maybe, as Patrick Kaleta said, Buffalo's fans looked at the afternoon start time and wanted to revel in a Bills-like atmosphere. More likely, Sabres backers saw honest-to-goodness effort and reacted accordingly. Whatever the reason, fun returned to Sabreland on Saturday. With the positive backing of a sellout crowd, the Sabres skated to a 4-3 shootout victory over New Jersey. The 19,070 fans in First Niagara Center were more vocal and excited than during any game in Buffalo, with the exception of the home opener, and were treated to the team's first three-game winning streak of the season. "We played hard hockey for the fans," goaltender Ryan Miller said. "I said before that's all they want. They want you to work hard and they want you to take the puck to the net. If it doesn't work out, they're still going to appreciate the effort. "I'm glad they were able to get rewarded. Guys did a nice job of battling and pulled one out." The victory showed the Sabres might be turning the corner toward respectability. They didn't get overly rattled during a wild third period that featured four goals, three ties and two lead changes.
Fun and good cheer return as Sabres top Devils

From 1966-1973 (67 bonus!), he put up a 281/354/471 line, for an OPS+ of 129. He also mashed 20+ HRs for 5 consecutive seasons back when that was actually impressive, from 69-73. He is 4th all time for the Red Sox in games started in CF, behind only Fred Lynn among the living. This isn't a Frank Malzone situation where a guy just played the position for a while with reputably good defense and mediocre offensive performance, this was a player putting up excellent numbers for his era while playing a premium defensive position AND actually playing on one of the franchise's iconic teams.

A couple of days ago I was infected with Antivirus 2009 and downloaded MBAM which helped me remove it. During that time, I noticed that when I plugged my ipod into the computer, the drive did not show up on My Computer, and all that happened was that I got the usual "chime" for USB .
Then I had my browser hijacked and got these ridiculous Google Redirects that didn't even load to the new URL. It kept opening new tabs to tebe.us . I did another scan with MBAM which seemed to get rid of this (briefly).
Now I keep getting fake security warnings in the bottom right of the screen, my computer is incredibly slow, my desktop icons have turned black and none of my USB's will show up in My Computer. Also, I got a 'Blue Screen of Death' yesterday.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
