13 Crafts To Get You Ready for Fall
Fashion your home for fall with these easy DIYs, perfect for cooler weather.
The secret to these mini masterpieces? Foliage and flowers gathered from the garden. Blogger Sonia Bauer (bigsislilsis.com) of Oceanside, California, simply positioned a blossom or a leaf facedown against each egg, then wrapped the egg in a four-inch square of panty hose and secured it with a twist tie.
To achieve these earthy hues, Bauer whipped up her own dyes using purple cabbage, yellow onions, and cranberries.
Step 1: Select produce based on your color choice: 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries; 1 head purple cabbage, sliced; skins from 3 yellow onions.
Step 2: In a covered, 8-quart stockpot over medium-high heat, bring 10 cups water and produce to a boil; let boil for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then strain and discard produce.
Step 3: Bring water back to a gentle boil, then stir in 3 tablespoons vinegar (1/4 cup for cabbage). Gently lower eggs into pot and boil for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Turn off heat, cover, and let stand for 2 to 3 hours, or until desired color is achieved. Remove eggs and transfer to carton; let cool.

I'm actually more curious about this never released before DHTHK than the upcoming Ming Yun which has a confirmed broadcast date. And of course Military Seal which doesn't even have a confirmed broadcast! In reality, FengMi never had the privilege of having a really good script and series (I mean what is Gong?!! ). And in Ming Yun, it sounds like Chi Shuai will be her final love rather than FSF who will be around only for a few episodes, so little FengMi interaction. It makes me mad that people keep saying they have paired up too often. I can't be really satisfied and get "sick of" FengMi until they get a great script and well produced/directed series or movie that can really justify their talents and natural affinity with one another. Only until they have the benefit of a good script, then I can move on.
Her other onscreen pairings had much better scripts than with FSF, e.g. YM & Mickey in MRXJ was a wonderful love story, and even YM & HG had a better script in CP3 than FengMi in Gong. But none of them had that special X-factor element that FengMi has. I just think it's unfair to criticize or belittle FengMi when they never had the luck to have a good script.

Balak - Sheini
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
Permission Denied; Granted on Appeal
When Balaam got up in the morning, he told the messengers that permission had been denied. They relayed this message back to Balak, who responded by sending a larger and more prestigious delegation. They told Balaam that he would be paid anything he asked for his services.
Balaam replied, "Even if Balak gave me his entire palace full of gold and silver, I could not come if it were counter to G-d's instructions." (It is implicit in his response what Balaam feels his services are worth.)
G-d saw how badly Balaam wanted to go, so He acquiesced to the request but He cautioned Balaam to stay in line and not do anything beyond that which he is instructed.

LAS VEGAS, October 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
New aircraft embodies advances in design, flight control technology and fuel efficiency
Dassault Aviation today unveiled its biggest and most advanced Falcon jet. The Falcon 5X is a new-generation business jet with new a flight control system, new aerodynamics and other advanced technologies, many pioneered in Dassault's military programs.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131022/647153 )
"The Falcon 5X is the new benchmark for the creative use of advanced technology in business aviation," said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. "Using design and manufacturing software and systems pioneered by Dassault, we have been able to build a larger, more comfortable and more capable aircraft that is also more environmentally friendly and much more economical to operate compared to other airplanes in its class."
"The Falcon 5X represents our biggest investment since the beginning of the Falcon programs," said Trappier. "It demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the technology leadership that we have displayed in this market since our first business jet flew fifty years ago."
Unveiled in Las Vegas at the National Business Aviation Association's annual convention, the company hailed the Falcon 5X as an industry breakthrough, offering the largest cabin cross section of any purpose-built business jet and fuel efficiency as much as 50 percent better than competing aircraft.
The Falcon 5X represents an important addition to the Falcon product line, expanding its offering in the large-cabin segment. The new jet has a cabin height of six feet, six inches (1.98 m), an important consideration for passenger comfort on flights of 10 or 11 hours' duration. The 16-passenger aircraft has a range of 5,200 nautical miles (9,630 km), connecting Los Angeles with London, Sao Paulo with Chicago, Johannesburg with Geneva or Paris with Beijing.
Functionality and modern style blend in the cabin. The company conducted extensive research into new cabin technology and styling techniques that will greatly enhance passengers' sense of spaciousness and comfort.
The new aircraft's digital flight control system represents a major advance in making aircraft control more precise, easier and safer. The system integrates all moving control surfaces for the first time, including an additional control surface called a 'flaperon', that allows steep approaches at slow and safe speeds. It also integrates nose wheel steering for safer runway handling in strong crosswind conditions and on wet or slick runways. Dassault Aviation is a leader in digital flight control technology having pioneered it on fighters four decades ago and having introduced the first business jet with digital flight controls, the Falcon 7X, in 2007.
Honeywell will provide the 5X with a new generation of the Falcon series' EASy all-digital cockpit, as well as its most advanced radar, capable of detecting turbulence at greater distances than current models.
The cockpit will feature the industry's most advanced "head-up display" technology, provided by Elbit Systems. The new HUD will combine "enhanced vision" and "synthetic vision" for unsurpassed situational awareness, even in total darkness, fog or dense haze. Enhanced vision uses infrared sensors to display terrain in darkness and reduced visibility. Synthetic vision uses a global terrain database for the same purpose. In the 5X, they will be combined for the first time on the head-up display providing a high fidelity view of the outside world even when actual visibility is zero.
The aircraft will be powered by new-generation Silvercrest engines from Safran Snecma, the French-based engine maker and 50-percent partner with General Electric in CFM, which builds the world's best selling jet engine, the CFM56.
"The Silvercrest engine is 15 percent more fuel efficient than other engines in its power class; Emissions are dramatically lower than current standards, and the engine is remarkably quiet," said Trappier. Dassault Aviation and Snecma worked closely to marry the aircraft and the engine for optimum efficiency and performance. The companies have a long history of close collaboration, Trappier noted. Snecma provides the M88 engines for the supersonic Rafale fighter.
Both aircraft and engines will have the industry's most advanced real-time self-diagnosis onboard maintenance system. These computerized monitoring systems report service issues immediately to ground-based service hubs, so maintenance teams can begin to respond while the aircraft is still in the air. Snecma's ForeVision™ health monitoring system, which equips the Silvercrest, can forecast when maintenance will be required several flights or even hundreds of flight hours in advance, making scheduling easier and ensuring availability of the aircraft when it is needed.
Falcon 5X airframe structures are already in production at several Dassault sites in France and at suppliers' plants. New, more automated manufacturing technologies and streamlined production processes will reduce parts count and aircraft weight, and speed the assembly process.
To be priced at about $45 million in 2013 dollars, the Falcon 5X is expected to make its first flight in the first quarter of 2015 and to achieve certification before the end of 2016.

2009We want to inform better those who are interested in sport and what benefits they have if they decide to practice it,that it can help both adults and children to be more confident,to be efficient in what they do,and very important to form each one of us as a person,with a strong temper. Sport can offer us two perspectives.The first is the one that involves a healthy body and the second is the one that can help us expand our mind and soul.Movement is the secret of longevity.Doing 30 minutes everyday can definetly lengthen our lives.It will invigorate us and it will transform us into a "burn-calories machine".It forms our temper by learning what fair-play means and what challenge really meens. We hope that our project will help those who want to have an open social life and in the same time to have a healthy life.The basic idea is to encourage as many people as we can to practice sport or at least to stay in shape for their own healthy.

In "A Nation of Takers," author Nicholas Eberstadt draws on an impressive array of data to detail the exponential growth in entitlement spending over the past 50 years. As he notes, in 1960, entitlement payments accounted for well under a third of the federal government's total outlays. Today, entitlement spending — everything from Medicare to disability payments — accounts for a full two-thirds of the federal budget. While these economic developments are indeed astonishing, the cultural costs of this epidemic are equally troubling, and Eberstadt shows in unflinching detail how this runaway spending is having a very real, long-lasting, negative impact on the character of our citizens.

One of the especially striking aspects of Obama's agenda-setting Second Inaugural address was its treatment of the entitlements question. His speech offered the sort of full-throated celebration of America's real, existing social-welfare system that has not been heard from a U.S. president in decades—possibly since the Sixties.
In President Obama's second inaugural address, he not only outlined an ambitious agenda for his second term but also seemed intent on shutting down debate about the social-welfare state and its impact on American life.
AEI's Nicholas Eberstadt will argue that over the last two decades, both Democrats and Republicans have fueled a radical transformation that has created an expanding dependency culture in America. William Galston of the Brookings Institution will respond that well-functioning societies are dependent on interdependence

BBB Logged Hundreds Of Complaints About Auto Warranty Firms In Last Year
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011Despite rising public awareness of problems in the nation's vehicle service contract industry, consumers continue to tell Better Business Bureau they feel tricked by misleading advertising or duped into spending thousands of dollars for contracts with little or no value.
Typical is a complaint received last month from a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., consumer: "I pay on time and follow all terms of the policy but they won't cover anything."
Another consumer, from South Holland, Ill., made a similar claim last month: The company has "fraudulently taken my money with no thought of ever (paying for repairs)."
A consumer from Ladson, S.C., who said she received a misleading mailer from a vehicle service marketer in April, was more blunt: "These guys were slime."
BBB suggests caution to consumers who may be considering purchasing a vehicle service contract.
In the past 12 months, the BBB has received nearly 800 complaints involving 24 auto service contract companies in the St. Louis area. While now-defunct US Fidelis has received the biggest number of complaints – 200—three other firms have received at least 60 complaints during the 12 months. Those companies are:
- National Dealers Warranty, doing business under the name Stop Repair Bills, of St. Peters, Mo. Consumers have filed 187 complaints and reports about this company during the 12-month period and 523 in the past 36 months.
- Service Protection Direct or Protection Direct with headquarters in downtown St. Louis. Consumers have filed 76 complaints and reports about the company in the 12-month period and 298 in the past 36 months.
- Car Safe or Dealer Preferred Warranties, of St. Charles, Mo. The company has been the focus of 68 consumer complaints over the 12 months and 167 in the past 36 months.
Each of these businesses has an "F" grade with BBB, the lowest grade possible and all have been the (more…)

And increase spending in in the military it's you know two cents but risks of these things like Medicare in the food stamp program back to the states.
Have medical medical malpractice reform.
Stricter federal workforce by attrition I've got to bill and it's there and what he could look -- -- because it's senate bill 3473.
This solves the problem.
And we have other ways to do -- whatever happened to the old Democrats remember it was.
Kennedy way back in the sixties this and we've got to raise more money.
And more revenue for the great society programs and the best way to increase revenue is to reduce marginal rates he did it in what happened.
He he increased the amount of money they came from margin rates of 94000000253.
Billion then along came Reagan the same thing.
That -- the total amount of money raised by marginal rates in 1980 was 244 billion.
At the end of that decade it is 466 billion that was during the decade the real streamlining.
That taxes and tax reductions so.
That's the way we can grow it for every 1% increase in the economic activity that produces forty billion dollars in new revenue.
We've got to get that through their heads and it again that wasn't a Republican notion that was a Democrat.
-- senator would you do you I know you are gonna get everything you want and Democrats theoretically are gonna get everything they want.
So -- -- you have to see in the other side for you to give it all in any of these things what what movement has to be made.
I'd I'd like to see and try some different things first of all let's recognize the -- That we have the deficits right now as a result Obama's budget just five point three trillion that's in his ability he signed that.
We have a lot of the programs that should be and then -- -- -- we give the example.
We had a Democrat president back in the -- Bill Clinton while we had a Republican majority in the house and the senate.
We did welfare reform -- put to the of that work back into welfare -- it was tremendously success.
Actually decrease -- well for rose from five million to three million now Obama's reversed it.
Right now we have that it's gone -- -- the food stamp program right now tuna from 28 may me and favorites to 47.
That is one of the things can be reversed.
They got us into this mess to start with I gotta have to try anything.
Senator why does it appear.
And obviously the -- results of it why does it appear that President Obama wins the PR campaign on this entire discussion.
Well Gretchen I represent Oklahoma he hasn't wanted to hear.
He's winning it across the country.
But I know he's a very persuasive person that doesn't mean that as a member the United States senate.
The you have to look at public opinion say well he's gonna win this thing again I've got twenty kids and grandkids are depending on need to.
What do Republicans need to do -- to get a better PR message out there to come back I mean when when you look at the math and what you're talking about it makes a lot of sense it's.
-- why you -- it's not out there.
I don't know I've made were not -- we're not as persuasive as Obama is perhaps but in this case you know solution let people -- that's what I'm doing right now.
And -- there are other alternatives this obsession with the president heads.
For -- prices is simply that we beach got to get around him and Republicans are gonna turn into Democrats we don't.
-- senator thanks so much we'll look forward to next few days to see there's going to be any movement nothing's gonna be a given this for years than the last four years.
Senator -- and not let me very much from Washington meanwhile.

Historically noteworthy as the first Merchant Ivory production that lacked the involvement of longtime producer Ismail Merchant (he died three years prior to this movie's release), director James Ivory's The City of Your Final Destination embodies an adaptation of Peter Cameron's 2005 novel of the same name, written for the screen by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Omar Metwally stars as Omar Razaghi, a young graduate student in the U.S. who wishes to author a biography on the late Jules Gund -- an enigmatic writer who spent his final years with his family in Uruguay, then committed suicide. Omar writes the Gund clan to request permission to pen the text, but is shocked and baffled by the family's refusal to comply. At the urging of Omar's forceful girlfriend, Dierdre (Alexandra Maria Lara), Omar books a seat about the next flight to Uruguay, visits the Gund enclave, and tries to persuade them to change their minds. Present are Gund's gay twin brother Adam (Anthony Hopkins), his widow Caroline (Laura Linney), his mistress Arden (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and his young daughter by Arden, Portia (Ambar Mallman). Omar works on the family members one by one, but runs into extreme difficulty both with Caroline -- a hateful woman bearing deep-seated resentments, who initially refuses to comply with the project at all costs -- and with Adam, who agrees to participate on the condition that Omar perform a dangerous favor in return. Meanwhile, passions begin to stir between Omar and Arden, and Dierdre decides to pay a visit. Unfortunately, The City of Your Final Destination received severely limited theatrical distribution, and failed to make much of a splash at the box office, despite favorable notices from a number of U.S. critics and Ivory's excellent track record. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Emmy Award-winning director Tom Hopper takes the helm for this epic, seven-part miniseries produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and presenting American history as seen from the perspective of fiercely independent founding father John Adams (Paul Giamatti). Based on author David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the film tells the tale of a leader whose remarkable vision helped to guide a burgeoning republic through an especially tumultuous period. Thanks to the tireless support of his loving wife Abigail (Laura Linney), and lifelong friendship with political rivalry Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane), John Adams rose to prominence as the spokesman for the American independence movement before moving on to become America's first ambassador to Holland and England, the first American Vice President, the second American President, and the father of the sixth American President. As with McCullough's best-selling biography, the film draws on a comprehensive collection of letters, diaries, and family papers in order to create the most accurate representation of Adams' life and achievements ever captured on film. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A pair of siblings are forced to set aside their discomfort with one another for the sake of their father in this low-key comedy drama from writer/director Tamara Jenkins. Wendy Savage (Laura Linney) is a struggling playwright living in New York City who works a day job to support herself and can't shake the feeling that she's failed as an artist. Wendy isn't especially happy about her love life either, gaining little self-esteem from her on-and-off affair with oversexed, married neighbor Larry (Peter Friedman). Wendy's anxieties about her writing career are intensified by the success of her brother, Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who teaches theater history at a college in Buffalo, NY, and has published a number of books. While Jon's life seems fine on the surface, a case of writer's block has stalled work on his latest project, and he's deeply upset that his girlfriend is soon to leave the United States to return to her native Poland. Wendy and Jon don't get along and prefer not to see one another, but an unfortunate circumstance brings them together -- their father, Lenny Savage (Philip Bosco). Elderly Lenny has began showing signs of dementia, and shortly after he takes to smearing his feces on the walls of his Arizona home, his ailing long-term girlfriend suddenly dies. Wendy and Jon have little choice but to fly to Arizona and see what can be done for Lenny, but their long-simmering animosity makes it hard for them to deal with the realities of Lenny's condition. The Savages received its world premiere at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Adapted from the best-selling novel, the whimsical, heartwarming comedy The Nanny Diaries concerns Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson), a recent college graduate from New Jersey whose nurse mother makes an unsuccessful bid to pressure her into a white-collared business career. Sidetracking this path for more colorful pursuits, Annie accepts a position as nanny and domestic servant for a wealthy couple on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, known only as "The Xs" (Paul Giamatti and a heavily coiffed and accoutred Laura Linney). Annie has her first real taste of servant life when she arrives at the family's residence and promptly sinks into Mrs. X's luxury tub, but is soon shuttled off to her own bare-bones room. Face to face, for the first time in her life, with the vast socioeconomic differences between herself and others, Annie must spend her days catering to Mrs. X's every whim, navigating the emotional land mines set by the domineering Mr. X, and tending to the demands of the couple's mischievous and bratty son, Grayer (Nicholas Art). The situation grows a bit more awkward and sticky when Annie begins to fall for a young man who lives near the Xs, whom she's nicknamed Harvard Hottie (Chris Evans), leading her to seriously reevaluate her career goals and priorities. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Shattered Glass director Billy Ray directs Chris Cooper and Ryan Philippe in this fact-based drama concerning the FBI traitor who carried out what many historians refer to as the most notable national security breach in U.S. history. A key member of the FBI's elite Soviet Analytical Unit, Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) would, for 15 years beginning in 1985, sell thousands of pages of classified documents to the Soviets. After making roughly 600,000 dollars on his clandestine endeavor and compromising everything from the identities of KGB spies working for the American government to nuclear war contingency plans, Hanssen was eventually transferred to a newly created position at the FBI's Washington headquarters and assigned the task of guarding his country's most sensitive secrets. It was while working in this capacity that a young agent named Eric O'Neill (Phillipe) was assigned the task of keeping tabs on Hanssen by suspicious higher-ups. Later, after being arrested while delivering a cache of secret documents to a "dead drop" spot in a Virginia park, the notorious traitor was arrested and sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A family is touched by the shadows of hatred and violence in this Australian drama adapted from a short story by Raymond Carver. Stewart (Gabriel Byrne) and Claire (Laura Linney) are a married couple in their early fourties; Stewart runs a gas station while Claire looks after their son, Tom (Sean Rees-Wemyss). Tom has been grounded for the weekend after killing a small animal with his friend Caylin (Eva Lazzaro), and Claire keeps an eye on him while Stewart goes off on a fishing trip with his pals Carl (John Howard), Rocco (Stelios Yiakmis), and Billy (Simon Stone). After arriving at their favorite fishing spot, Stewart finds the naked body of a woman floating down the river; unbeknownst to him, Gregory (Chris Haywood), an elderly man riddled with racial hatred, killed Susan (Tatea Reilly), a young woman of Aboriginal heritage, and dumped her body in the water. Believing they wouldn't be able to drive to town to report finding the body and get back to make camp before nightfall, Stewart decides to wait until morning to contact the police, and ties a line to the corpse so it won't float away. The next morning, Stewart and his friends decide not to spoil their trip and spend the day fishing; they don't contact the police until after they return home on Monday. Stewart's callous actions cast an ugly light on himself, his friends, and his family, and Claire finds herself implicated in the crime through Stewart's poor judgment.

Two strong-willed women wield their influence on a shy teenaged boy in this coming-of-age comedy from the United Kingdom. Seventeen-year-old Ben (Rupert Grint) is the son of a soft-spoken vicar (Nicholas Farrell), but it's his mother, Laura (Laura Linney), who rules the household, and she has put Ben cheerfully under her thumb, keeping him busy with a variety of good-will errands for the church and numerous local charity causes. With summer vacation looming before him, Ben is looking forward to learning to drive, but Laura is more interested in spending time with one of the more charming members of the church staff than helping Ben learn how to operate the family automobile. Wanting to earn some pocket money, Ben starts looking for a part-time job and ends up working for Evie Walton (Julie Walters), an elderly and slightly eccentric actress who needs help keeping her garden in shape. Laura believes Evie isn't an especially good influence on her son, though Ben is happy to find someone who encourages his interest in poetry and the larger world (especially girls). One day, Evie announces that she needs to ride to Edinburgh, where she is supposed to give a reading as part of the city's massive music and arts festival. While Ben doesn't have his license, he volunteers to take the wheel, and soon he's confronted with various forms of decadence that his mother has frequently warned him to avoid.

Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is a novelist whose career has gone into a slow decline as he spends more time teaching and less time writing. His wife, Joan (Laura Linney), meanwhile, has recently begun publishing her own work to widespread acclaim, which only increases the growing tension between them. One day, Bernard and Joan's two sons -- 16-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and 12-year-old Frank (Owen Kline) -- are told that their parents are separating, with Bernard renting a house on the other side of their Park Slope, Brooklyn, neighborhood.

In this blend of psychological thriller and courtroom drama, Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) is a 19-year-old college student who begins displaying bizarre and troubling behavior; as her actions become increasingly destructive and shocking, Emily begins speaking in strange tongues and destroying religious symbols that surround her. Emily's parents believe that their daughter has become possessed of the devil, and the Catholic Church agrees to authorize an exorcism of the young woman. As Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) attempts to drive the demons from Emily's body, the girl dies in the midst of the taxing ceremonies, and Father Moore finds himself charged with negligent homicide. Attorney Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) is hired to represent Father Moore against prosecutor Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), who intends to prove there were concrete medical explanations for Emily's behaviors, including epilepsy and schizophrenia, all leading to a heated courtroom debate between the notions of faith and science. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was inspired by the real-life story of Anneliese Michel, a young woman from Germany who died in 1976 after priests in Wurzburg spent eight months attempting to exorcise demons from her body. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Alfred Kinsey was an entomologist who taught at Indiana University and had a keen interest in an area of human behavior that had seen little scholarly research -- human sexuality. While the courtship and reproductive patterns of animals had been carefully documented, Kinsey believed that most "established facts" about human sexual behavior were a matter of conjecture rather than research and that what most people said about their sex lives was not born out by the evidence (a subject that had personal resonance for him given the troubles he and his wife Clara Kinsey had in the early days of their marriage). After introducing a course in "Marriage" at Indiana University which offered frank and factual information on sex to students, Kinsey began an exhaustive series of interviews with a wide variety of people from all walks of life in order to find out the truth about sex practices in America. When he published Sexual Behavior and the Human Male in 1948, his findings were wildly controversial, indicating that most men had a wider variety of sexual experiences than most people imagined, including a number of practices commonly thought to be dangerous or perverted (including pre-marital sex, same-sex contacts, and masturbation). An even greater outcry greeted Kinsey's next volume, Sexual Behavior and the Human Female, which contradicted common notions than most women went into marriage sexually inexperienced. Kinsey is a film biography written and directed by Bill Condon which examines Kinsey's life and work from his strict childhood until his death in 1956. Liam Neeson plays Alfred Kinsey, and Laura Linney co-stars as Kinsey's wife and colleague Clara. John Lithgow highlights the supporting cast as Kinsey's repressed and moralistic father, while Chris O'Donnell, Peter Sarsgaard, and Timothy Hutton play members of Kinsey's research team and Tim Curry appears as an IU faculty member at odds with Kinsey's teachings. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Directed by Dylan Kidd, P.S. follows Louise Harrington (Laura Linney), a divorcee who works in Columbia University's School of Fine Arts and at first glance seems utterly satisfied with her life. The thirties-odd woman has found success in the workplace, is respected among her peers, and is fairly confident in her own abilities -- yet, she can't help but feel something is missing. When she arranges to interview a prospective student at least 15 years younger than she is, she's shocked to find out he is the spitting image of her high-school sweetheart, an artist who had died in a tragic car accident before they graduated. After the interview, Louise and Scott (Topher Grace) waste no time before getting romantically involved. Their motives aren't entirely clear -- Louise may be longing for her former flame, while Scott could be trying to assure himself a position in the Ivy League by whatever means necessary -- but that doesn't stop them. Elsewhere, Missy (Marcia Gay Harden), Louise's best friend from high school makes a play for Scott herself. Complicating issues further is the looming presence of Peter (Gabriel Byrne), Louise's ex-husband, and her recently sober brother (Paul Rudd). ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

The mystery of one man's guilt or innocence literally becomes a matter of life and death in this drama. David Gale (Kevin Spacey) was the head of the philosophy department at Austin University and the author of several well-regarded books; he was also an active and visible member of Deathwatch, an anti-capital punishment activist group. One of Gale's best friends was Constance Harraway (Laura Linney), a fellow Deathwatch activist with whom he became especially close, particularly since Gale's wife, Sharon (Elizabeth Gast), who had taken a lover in Spain, was usually absent. One night, Gale was seduced by an attractive student from his class, Berlin (Rhona Mitra), who had too much to drink; later, the remorseful student accused Gale of rape. While Gale was eventually cleared of the charges, the negative publicity cost him his career as an educator, and with no job and no wife, Gale turned to drink. When Harraway was found raped and murdered a few years later, Gale was charged with the crime, and convicted despite the best efforts of his well-meaning but ineffectual lawyer Braxton Belyeu (Leon Rippy). Now Gale awaits execution, and less than a week before his date with the fatal injection, Gale agrees to tell his story to Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet), a nervy journalist from a major newsmagazine, who arrives with her assistant, Zack Stemmons (Gabriel Mann). As Bloom discusses the facts of the Harraway murder with Gale, it occurs to her that the details simply don't add up, and soon a mysterious stranger slips evidence to her that suggests Gale has been framed -- leaving Bloom and Stemmons only a few days to solve the mystery and save Gale from the executioner. The Life of David Gale was co-produced by actor Nicolas Cage, who originally commissioned the script and intended to star in the film before prior commitments led him to hand the project over to director Alan Parker. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

All of London is in love -- or longing to be -- in Four Weddings and a Funeral writer Richard Curtis' first directorial effort. Billed as "the ultimate romantic comedy," Love Actually involves more than a dozen main characters, each weaving his or her way into another's heart over the course of one particularly eventful Christmas. The seemingly perfect wedding of Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) brings many of the principals together, including heartsick best man Mark (Andrew Lincoln), who harbors a very unrequited crush on Juliet. There's also recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), trying to help his lonely stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster) express his true feelings to a classmate. Across town, devoted working mother Karen (Emma Thompson) tries to rekindle the passion of her husband, Harry (Alan Rickman), who secretly pines for a young colleague of his. In the same office, the lonely Sarah (Laura Linney) not-so-secretly pines for a man just a few desks away (Rodrigo Santoro), who returns her affections but may not be able to dissuade her neuroses. Providing the unofficial soundtrack for all of the couples is an aging rocker (Bill Nighy) who just wants to cash in and get laid -- but even he might find a meaningful relationship in the most unlikely of places. A working print of Love Actually premiered at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Directed by Clint Eastwood, the mysterious drama Mystic River is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane and adapted by screenwriter Brian Helgeland. Set in an Irish neighborhood in Boston, Jimmy, Sean, and Dave are three childhood friends who are reunited after a brutal murder takes place. Reformed convict Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn) and his devoted wife Annabeth (Laura Linney) find out that their teenage daughter Katie (Emmy Rossum) has been beaten and killed. Jimmy's old friend Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) is the homicide detective assigned to the case, along with partner Whitey Powers (Laurence Fishburne). Jimmy also gets his relatives, the Savage brothers (Adam Nelson and Robert Wahlberg), to conduct an investigation of their own. Jimmy and Sean both start to suspect their old pal, Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins), who lives a quiet life with his wife Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden) but harbors some disturbing secrets. Clint Eastwood won a Golden Coach for Mystic River at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Springsteen´s a counter culture hero and I´m sure that´ll filter down to his daughter. Of course these same people mocked Ann Romney´s horse riding.
May she be happy. And may her father eventually realize he is a fool and a hypocrite. Nothing wrong with making money, and he has worked hard for his. So what´s wrong with other people doing the same?
The irony.
Wonder if his daughter will be as foolish as his dad, and fall all over the One! I do not even want to listen to Springsteen´s music anymore. May he find the error of his ways one day. Don´t care for him or family.
In the immortal words of the first limousine liberal, Sargent Shriver, "Beers for the house, a Courvoisier for me!"
Musically, one of the lamest ´superstars´ ever to sell an album or ticket. Like Obama, this guy was created by the media. I remember Time and/or Newsweek covers extolling the talent of the ´Next Bob Dylan´. As if we were even asking for one.
If public television ever again shows an old concert called "Black and White" meaning not color television) given by Roy Orbison and a bunch of young people, all of whom later became famous, be sure to watch it. Bruce Springsteen is one of those young people. He is simply the best player of the guitar I have ever heard. His voicer is nothing to rave about but adequate.I love Springsteen´s "My Home Town". It could have been written about mine. "My dad told me, these jobs are going, boy, and they ain´t never coming back" it was the story of my home town.Yes, he is a hypocrite but that does not make him less talented.
..after what happened to Ann Romney, I sure hope the press doesn´t get a hold of this....
From the man who raises bees on his farm so that he can receive a tax credits. What a hypocrite. The boss may have been Born in the U.S.A. but now he is just a rich tax dodger, like his entertainment Leftist buds.
Clearly not down for the struggle but I do think talented. Saw him in 1978 and it remains the best rock concert I ever saw. Sad to hate his guts.
Bruce, he´s a rebel!Cheap shot for this morning, not hard to see why wife and daughter are drawn to horses.
re: #7 - That show with Roy Orbison and friends is the only time I am tempted to donate to PBS in order to get a copy of the show which is not available anywhere else it seems. Excellent music.A self made millionaire in the investment business - evil. A self made millionaire in the entertainment buiness - good.
#7 & 12, perhaps your local video store (do they still have those!?) can order it for you. I have a VCR tape of that "Roy Orbison & Friends - A Black & White Night" - it´s on HBO Video. I´ve spied a tear or two on my hubby´s cheek when he watches that!
Springspit is the perfect tribute to the musically ignorant of this "cultureless" modern society. May her horsey poop on his fiddle.
I´m not sure how the word ´starlet´ fits this title. Age 21????????
Hey I thought people weren´t allowed to show or ride fancy horses! Oh but it´s lefty Stringbean so let´s look the other way.
The 1%. Kinda like Mrs. Romney and her horse. Minus the class.
#7, till you find something more permanent at an online store, here´s a link to videos from the Roy O. show. Amazing.http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Black+and+White+royorbison&qpvt=Black+and+White+royorbison&FORM=VDREOnstage with Roy I spy Jackson Browne, J. D. Souther, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springstein, and as back up singers Bonnie Raitt, k.d.lang, and a third woman I can´t name. What a group!
Thank you No. 18. I will try to access these places. Just not sure my 91 year old eyesight is equal to the job. The second one particularly looks daunting.
I think that his daughter should become friends with Bon Jovi´s kid...........I bet they share recreational activities....

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
John Knowles, American novelist, short-story writer, and essayist, was born September 16, 1926, in Fairmont, West Virginia, the son of the vice president of a major coal company. In 1945 Knowles completed his high school education at Phillips Exeter Academy, a private boys' school in New Hampshire, and then went to Yale University, where he earned a B.A. in English in 1949. While at the university, he served as editor of the Yale Daily News, and several of his early stories were published in student magazines. From 1950 to 1952, Knowles was a reporter for the Hartford Courant in Connecticut. He then turned to freelance writing for several years, then served as an associate editor of Holiday magazine from 1957 to 1960.
During this ten-year period Knowles was already writing short sketches of what would later be the subject matter of his first novel; he detailed the struggles of adolescent boys striving to discover their mature selves within the restrictive environment of a boarding school. His short story "A Turn With the Sun," written in 1949 when he was twenty-three years old, details the accidental death by drowning of a prep school boy scorned by his classmates. This was followed by "Phineas," written in 1953 and published in May, 1956, by Cosmopolitan magazine, an early rendering of what would later be...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Although strong critical acclaim such as he received for A Separate Peace came to John Knowles only once in his prolific writing career, he is nevertheless generally recognized as a writer of considerable skill, able to create striking verbal images of that interior world in which everyone struggles with fear of failure in resisting seemingly uncontrollable pride and jealousy. His central theme is that the only true path to achieving victory over such a common human fear is through acceptance of the common human need for loving forgiveness of others' and one's own inner weaknesses. This theme has appeal for the reading public beyond that of Knowles's literary skills. It is for his insightful expression of this theme, particularly in his tale of Gene and Phineas, that he is most noted.

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
John Knowles, the third of four children of James Myron and Mary Beatrice Shaw Knowles, was born in the coal mining town of Fairmont, West Virginia, in 1926. After attending public schools in Fairmont through the ninth grade, Knowles left home at fifteen to attend Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He entered the prestigious preparatory school in the fall of 1942 as a "lower middler," or sophomore. He found Phillips Exeter very challenging. In 1943 he attended a special summer wartime session there and joined a group called the Suicide Society, the members of which jumped from a tall tree on the campus into a river below. Because of a bad fall from this tree, Knowles was on crutches for a while with a foot injury. After graduating from Exeter in 1945, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces' Aviation Cadet Program, qualifying as a pilot.
Subsequently, he attended Yale University, where he majored in English and was on the editorial board of the Yale Daily. While at Yale he also submitted stories to the Yale Record, the university's humor magazine, was invited to join Yale's Wiffenpoofs, and was a member of the varsity swimming team. For his senior essay at Yale he wrote a novel. He graduated from Yale in 1949 and went to work as a reporter and drama critic for the Hartford Courant. In 1952 he became a freelance writer and lived for the next several years in Europe. There he wrote a novel called "Descent to...

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
John Knowles was born in 1926, in the small town of Fairmont, West Virginia, a declining coal-based town. He was the third of four children born to James Myron and Mary Beatrice Shaw Knowles. At age fifteen he left home and attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. After an early graduation, Knowles enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces Aviation Cadet Program and qualified as a pilot. Discharged in 1945, Knowles attended Yale University, majored in English, and served as editor of the Yale Daily News. After receiving his degree, Knowles worked as a reporter for the Hartford Courant and later as a correspondent and editor for Holiday magazine. For several years he traveled and lived in southern Europe. Returning to the United States in 1955, he began to write several short stories, which eventually became the foundation for his first novel. After the death of his father in 1970, Knowles relocated to Long Island, where he began writing a novel about his late friend, novelist Truman Capote.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
A Separate Peace, the first novel of John Knowles (nohlz), has been one of the most widely read books in the American school system. Knowles grew up in the small city of Fairmont, West Virginia, in the 1930's when it was a coal town in decline. In 1942 he left for Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. Because the school during the years of World War II instituted an "anticipatory plan" that allowed boys to receive their diplomas early, before being drafted into the armed services, Knowles finished his studies in the summer of 1944 and was inducted into the U.S. Army Air Corps. He qualified as an aviation cadet and spent eight months in training programs in the United States before being discharged in 1945 when the war ended.
Upon returning to civilian life, Knowles attended Yale University, majoring in English and writing for student publications. After graduating in 1949 he went to work as a reporter for a Hartford, Connecticut, newspaper and later as a correspondent and editor for Holiday magazine. In 1952 he became a freelance writer and traveled extensively in Europe, where he began writing a novel, to be entitled Descent into Proslito. On the advice of Thornton Wilder, who had become his mentor, he decided against trying to publish the work. In 1955 he returned to the United States and began to write short stories...

Biography (Novels for Students)
John Knowles was born on 16 September 1926, in the coal mining town of Fairmont, West Virginia. He was the third child of James Myron and Mary Beatrice Shea Knowles. At the age of fifteen, Knowles attended New Hampshire's prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy. The Devon School, where most of the action of A Separate Peace takes place, is based on Phillips Exeter, and many of Knowles' friends and acquaintances at Phillips Exeter were incorporated into the novel. In a New York Times interview, Knowles confirmed that the novel's "Super Suicide Society," in which members jumped from a tree into the river, really did exist at Exeter. Although not rendered permanently physically handicapped like Phineas, Knowles, after an unfortunate leap, spent most of the summer of 1943 on crutches.
After graduation from Exeter, Knowles entered Yale University for the 1944 fall term before going into the U.S. Army Air Force. Following his discharge from the service in November 1945, he re-entered Yale.
As a college student, Knowles submitted stories to the Yale Record, the college humor magazine. In 1949, he graduated with a B.A. in English; from 1950 to 1952, he worked as a drama critic and reporter for the Hartford Courant in Hartford, Connecticut. In the early 1950s, his novel Descent to Proselito was accepted for publication, but Knowles withdrew it on the advice of his mentor, the famous writer Thornton Wilder. In 1953,...

Biography (Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
John Knowles was born on September 16, 1926, in Fairmont, West Virginia. He lived there until he enrolled at Phillips Exeter Academy in 1941, where he was on the swimming team. He entered Yale University in 1945, continuing to compete as a swimmer in addition to editing the Yale Daily News and contributing short fiction to the Yale magazine Lit. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in English in 1949, and he worked briefly as a reporter for the Hartford Courant before joining the Curtis Publishing Company. At Curtis, he eventually became the associate editor of Holiday magazine. He spent much of his free time traveling extensively in Europe, the Near East, and the islands of the Aegean. During this time, he contributed many essays to travel journals and began to publish his short stories in popular national magazines. In 1960 A Separate Peace, his first novel, was published. It met with widespread critical acclaim and enthusiastic public response. More than nine million copies have been sold since its publication. The book won the Rosenthal Award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the William Faulkner Foundation Award (the forerunner of the prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award), and it enabled Knowles to declare himself a "full-time writer." He lived primarily on the French Riviera for the next eight years (although he undertook stints as a writer-inresidence at Princeton University and at the University of North...

From "Mock Effect" the brilliant Mass Effect parody fan fic
- SOVEREIGN: You are not Saren.
- JANE: It's… it's Unicron!
- GARRUS: Shit! What are we gonna do now?
- SOVEREIGN: I am not Unicron. People make that mistake all the time. Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance. Incapable of understanding. Thinking I'm Unicron. It does my head in.
- JANE: Sorry, it's just that you sound a lot like Unicron.
- SOVERIEGN: There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own that you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign.
- JANE: You have a high opinion of yourself, don't you? I think you're within my comprehension all right. You're a very large, very old, synthetic lifeform of great intelligence, working part-time as a spaceship. Is that about right?
- SOVEREIGN: Uh… yes. Okay, so I am within your comprehension. But I'm still bigger, older and cleverer than you're probably guessing. You uppity organics, I don't know… Here I am, brain the size of a planet…
- WREX: You couldn't have existed at the same time as the Protheans. It's impossible.
- SOVEREIGN: No it isn't.
- JANE: No, it isn't. He's just a very old, self-sustaining robot. Nothing impossible about that.
- SOVEREIGN: We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything. The cycle cannot be broken.
- ASHLEY: Cycle? What cycle?
- JANE: Don't you pay any attention in the meetings? Liara explained this after we picked her up. Keep up!
- SOVEREIGN: The pattern has been repeated more times than you can fathom.
- JANE: How many times?
- SOVEREIGN: About fifty.
- JANE: I can just about fathom that, thank you.

Chickadee is one of my favorite words to say. Chickadee, chickadee, chickadee! So I know these birds (along with woodpeckers, goldfinches, thrushes, bluebirds, and wrens) like peanut butter suet . . . the problem, what in the heck is suet?! After consulting a dear friend (read: google), I learned that it's raw beef or sheep fat. I eat neither beef, nor sheep, so I was at a standstill about where to find such a thing – and whether or not I'd even want to touch it.
Imagine my delight when I found a recipe for peanut butter suet – sounds a lot less scary, and OMG, I've got tons of PB. To see how to make this treat in plastic containers, little balls, or even rolled in wire mesh for birds to come pecking, read more

Happy Families
Zoë and Chris had been together for a number of years before they decided to start a family. Conceiving their first birth daughter took them some time, but eventually with the help of IVF their dreams came true and Zoë gave birth to Sadie. When Sadie was two years old, Zoë and Chris wanted more children and decided that adoption was the route they wanted to take.
"We found Izzie when she was two and a half years old, explained Zoë. "She did have a few issues in the beginning in that she wouldn't speak. But it's been so wonderful to watch her blossom and she speaks beautifully now. When she was five years old, her birth mother had a second child that she wasn't able to raise herself and so we were contacted to see if Izzie's little brother would be able to join our family. Elijah came to us just over three and a half years ago when he was seven months old. It was lovely to be able to bond with him from such an early age. They have both been wonderful.
"We have a fantastic family now - Chris and I and our three children. It literally is 'happy families'. The children are great and they get on ... most of the time", laughed Zoë. "Having three young children does sometimes present its challenges but we wouldn't have it any other way. We're so happy now. And we're living proof that children keep us young!"
