From Oprah to Gaga: 19 Celebs Who Smoke Pot (PHOTOS)

- Autoplay
19 Celebrities Who Openly Admit to Smoking Weed
Pot: if someone told you it was just for hippies and/or jazz musicians (we've heard both), they're misinformed or lying. More and more celebrities are feeling free to be totally open about lighting up a j or two in their day, whether they're a current user or they just had one really interesting night.
Thanks to the 2012 election, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. That's right, folks: In those states, if you're over 21 you can buy pot without getting razzed too hard.
However, plenty of people indulged long before legalization was even on the table, celebrities included. While most stars keep mum about any theoretical drug use, these 17 famous figures are a bit more open about their pot-related experiences. Some of them might surprise you!

One thing appeared certain when Barnes & Noble announced Thursday how much money its Nook e-readers brought in over the past three months: The news would be lousy.
And it was. Revenue from the company's Nook division for its fiscal 2013 third quarter declined 26 percent from the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of slumping sales of the devices.
Is the bookseller just losing ground to rival Amazon and its market-leading line of Kindles? Perhaps. But many tech analysts see something else happening: the booming market for tablet computers is starting to make the dedicated e-reader obsolete.
"It's not that the Nook failed," said James McQuivey, a digital analyst at Forrester Research. "It's that the world of tablets exploded, going faster than anyone expected, putting us in a place where tablets are now a fundamental part of our computing and lifestyle entourage, not just a handy device to consume a bit of media."
Apple rocked the computing world in 2010 with the release of the iPad, introducing the world to the concept of user-friendly tablets. While they already existed in some form, tablets were pretty much unknown to all but the most tech-savvy among us. Since then, all Apple has done is sell more than 120 million of them.
Competitors struggled to come up with a worthy alternative until late the next year, when Amazon -- already a leader in the e-reader market -- rolled out its simpler, smaller Kindle Fire, priced at $199, far lower than the iPad.
Its relative success not only inspired the launch of devices such as the Google Nexus 7, but it likely nudged Apple into the new midsize tablet market with the iPad Mini.
The net effect? Anyone interested in a tablet now probably has a price point with which they'll be comfortable. And tablets, which are priced similarly to top e-readers, also work well for reading e-books. Throw in Internet, apps and email -- all on a full-color tablet screen -- and e-readers suffer by comparison.
This trend has been particularly unkind to the Nook.
During the quarter that included last year's holiday season, Barnes & Noble's Nook business, which includes e-readers and e-books, suffered a 12.6 percent sales decline over 2011, bringing in just $311 million.
Earlier this month, the company said the Nook-related losses they'll announce Thursday would be even bigger than previously expected. The bad news came despite Barnes & Noble slashing the price of its Nook Simple Touch e-reader in December to $79.
Amazon doesn't release detailed sales figures. But the Kindle clearly emerged as the market leader in the past couple of years, after doing neck-and-neck battle with the Nook early on. In the last quarter of 2012, the company said it increased its sale of e-books and other content for Kindles and similar devices by 22 percent over the same quarter in 2011.
But analysts expect that even Amazon's success with dedicated e-readers will fade.
"It's a rough market to compete," said Michael Gartenberg, a tech-industry analyst with research firm Gartner Inc. "On one hand, devices like the iPad dominate the consumer tablet experience which includes reading. On the other hand, less demand for dedicated devices had helped Amazon, which already established a strong brand presence with Kindle as part of a much larger personal-cloud ecosystem."
Amazon has transitioned well into that new world. This holiday season, the new Kindle Fire HD was Amazon's top-selling device in the Kindle line, the company announced. Second? The older, and price-reduced, Kindle Fire.
And unlike Barnes & Noble, which is strongly branded as a bookstore, Amazon has created its own online universe of sales, McQuivey said.
"As part of Barnes & Noble, the Nook is stuck as a media device offered to media consumers when in reality the tablet business is poised for much more than this," he said.
Many reviewers actually liked Barnes & Noble's response, the Nook Tablet, better than the first-generation Kindle Fire. But, as McQuivey notes, its lack of an expansive ecosystem hurt it.
When the first wave of tablets hit the market, three years after the first Kindle and a year after the Nook, e-readers could still boast a significantly better reading experience. E-ink felt significantly more like printed text than a sometimes glare-prone tablet screen, which was difficult to read in bright sunlight.
But now, every one of the major tablet makers boasts high-definition screens that ratchet up not just the quality of video and snazzy graphics but the way text appears in reading apps.

Doing Street Logs
Streets are spaces of banal repetitions, encounter with world of things, gathering of people and occasional events. This is also how streets enter our conversations. To stand still in a street or to observe a street over a certain duration of time could make the street re-appear into conversations and thought with renewed vividness and perplexity. Street-logs were evolved by practitioners in 2004 to engage with the familiar and the banal, to find ways of re-thinking and re-imagining its disruptions, surprises and flows.
While we construct this page and come back with more, read one of the Cybermohalla street logs in the Sarai Reader 04, here.

As founder and CEO of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos defined online shopping and rewrote the rules of commerce, ushering in a new era in business. Time magazine named him Man of the Year in 1999.
Jeff Bezos didn't invent online shopping, but he almost single-handedly turned it into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. His Amazon.com began as a bookstore in 1994, and quickly expanded into dozens of product categories, forcing the world's biggest retailers to rethink their business models, and ultimately changing the way people shop.
But Amazon.com isn't just an internet success story. It's the standard by which all web businesses are now judged -- if not by their shareholders, then by their customers. Amazon set a high bar for reliability and customer service, and also introduced a wide range of online retail conventions -- from user reviews and one-click shopping to the tab interface and shopping cart icon -- so commonplace we no longer think of them as once having been innovations.
When the Internet bubble burst, Amazon.com took a hit with the other e-commerce pioneers, but the fundamentally sound company hung tough. It now sells more than $10 billion a year of goods, profitably, and its technology will influence the changes to business and media that will come next. Amazon recently released Kindle, a wireless digital reading device, giving the term "page turning" a completely new definition. Bezos, meanwhile, is one of the few early Web CEOs who still run the companies they founded. Outside of his work with Amazon, he recently founded Blue Origin, a space-flight startup.

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency chief executive Travis Tygart said Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012, that the agency will ban Armstrong from cycling for life and strip him of his seven Tour de France titles for doping. Armstrong on Thursday night dropped any further challenges to USADA's allegations that he took performance-enhancing drugs to win cycling's premier event from 1999-2005.

EDMONTON - Generally, I avoid crying at brunch, but simply could not help myself during the Opera Brunch at the Sutton Place Hotel.
Don't worry, it wasn't the eggs Benedict. What brought tears to my eyes was a rendition of Danny Boy, sung by David Pomeroy, who will appear in the upcoming run of the Edmonton Opera's Les Contes d'Hoffmann (Tales of Hoffmann).
The Opera Brunch is a regular event hosted by the Edmonton Opera and held during the run-up to each new show in the company's season. On Sunday, performers set to appear in Hoffmann (which runs Feb. 1, 3, 5 and 7), as well as other operatic talents, took to the stage after brunch to regale the audience with a selection of songs.
Not all of them were opera classics; Danny Boy was a boldfaced appeal to the sentimentalists among us, and there was an Irving Berlin tune tossed in for comic relief. But there were a half-dozen examples of vocal virtuosity, songs from Richard Strauss' Arabella, and Kurt Weill's Street Scene among them.
Brunch munchers were also treated to a little light education as Hoffmann's director, Joel Ivany, and the production's designer, Camellia Koo, talked about how to create a show set in a 1900s-era, prewar travelling circus. The food at the Sutton Place Hotel was also staged to inspire a circus feel, with a few fun items, including corn dogs, pretzels and popcorn, on the buffet table.
Families were there with a selection of impressively well-behaved children. It was a charming way to appeal to new, potential ticket-buyers, young and old. I learned a lot, nibbled an array of standard buffet foods, and enjoyed a refreshing weep. I could not have been happier.
If you'd like to learn more about the opera brunch and other Edmonton Opera events, you could stop at the City Centre Mall pedway (near Tim Hortons) Wednesday, Jan. 23 at noon when the 2013/14 season will be announced. Lunch-time shoppers will be able to witness a performance or two while they wait for their double-doubles. Also, the opera sponsors a complimentary, pre-show talk called Hoffmann Opera 101 in the Ledcor Theatre at the Art Gallery of Alberta on Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m.
There will be another Opera Brunch when Eugene Onegin debuts in April. For details, call the Edmonton Opera at 780-429-1000. Tickets are $75 for adults and $40 for children under 12. edmontonopera.com

- Toronto's Ace Bakery is hosting an Artisan Incubator competition for Canadians interested in developing a craft food business. The competition will select two artisans from applicants across the country who will enjoy a chance to present their idea for a food business to a group of experts. The experts include Chef Connie DeSousa (of Calgary's renowned Charcut restaurant, and a finalist from Top Chef Canada) as well as culinary activist and author, Anita Stewart, and Robert McCullough, publisher for Random House Canada's new lifestyle imprint, Appetite.
Twenty finalists, whose names will be announced in mid-March, will receive a trip to Toronto in June to attend a series of discussions about developing an artisan business. Two winners will be chosen to receive further business development opportunities.
Last year, Ace Bakery — a popular Toronto bakery renowned for its handmade, European-style rustic breads — sponsored a Canada-wide sandwich competition, and local sandwich slinger, chef Chris Delaney of Big City Sandwich, was a finalist. Later, his sandwich was featured in celebrity chef Lynn Crawford's Toronto restaurant, Ruby Watchco.

- The popular Italian restaurant, Nello's, has opened another location, called Antonio's by Nello's. The new eatery is in the space previously occupied by The Copper Pot, at 9707 110th St. (780-452-6622). antoniosbynellos.com
While that location has always been a bit of a black hole as far as restaurants go, owner Antonio Saporito thinks he can draw customers with a combination of the view (overlooking the river valley and the legislature) and his food.
"We've have always been a destination restaurant," he says of his other two locations in St. Albert and on Calgary Trail.
It's true that Nello's, with a reputation for excellent food and gigantic portions, has been popular with the Edmonton dining crowd, even if they had to drive some distance to get there. Saporito says the food at Antonio's will be similar to the other Nello's locations, but presented with a downtown vibe.
This is the third restaurant that Saporito and his partner, Harold Denny, have opened in the last three years. Antonio's father, Nello, runs the downtown eatery, Il Pasticcio, found on 100th Avenue at 115th Street.
- Local cheesemaker Leslie Sand is working with other local cheese fans to offer the perfect gift for Valentine's Day. It's a day of cheese-making to be held on Sunday, Feb. 17 at her workshop, Smoky Valley Goat Cheese, located near Smoky Lake. This is a small class, eight people only, and Sand is pairing up with local cheesehound, Ian Treuer, to put it on. It is touted by one of the organizers, Valerie Lugonja, as an "unforgettable day of authentic hands-on learning and serious fun."
Lugonja, Treuer and Sand are part of the local cheesemaking group, Cheesepalooza, a collection of foodies that has been fashioning a new, homemade cheese a month since August, all part of an online community crazy for hand-crafted curds. Participants at the class will enjoy a raclette lunch and go home with their very own wheel of Alloette, said to be perfect for a romantic fondue.
The class is $129. Get in touch with Sand at 1-780-383-3798 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. smokyvalleygoatcheese.com

John H. Watson, known as Dr. Watson, is a character in the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson is Sherlock Holmes' friend, assistant and sometime flatmate, and he is the first person narrator[1] of all but four stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon.
Character creation[edit]
In Conan Doyle's early rough plot outlines, Sherlock Holmes' sidekick was named "Ormond Sacker"[2][3] before Conan Doyle finally settled on "John Watson".
In the words of William L. De Andrea,
- "Watson also serves the important function of catalyst for Holmes' mental processes... From the writer's point of view, Doyle knew the importance of having someone to whom the detective can make enigmatic remarks, a consciousness that's privy to facts in the case without being in on the conclusions drawn from them until the proper time. Any character who performs these functions in a mystery story has come to be known as a 'Watson'."
In 1929, English crime writer and critic Ronald Knox stated as one of his rules for fledgling writers of detective fiction that,
- "The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal from the reader any thoughts which pass through his mind; his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader."
Fictional character biography[edit]
Dr Watson's first name is mentioned on only three occasions. Part one of the very first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, is subtitled Being a reprint from the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, M.D., Late of the Army Medical Department.[4] In "The Problem of Thor Bridge", Watson says that his dispatch box is labeled 'John H. Watson, M.D'.[5] Mary Morstan (Watson's wife) calls him 'James' in "The Man with the Twisted Lip"; Dorothy L. Sayers speculates that Morstan may be referring to his middle name Hamish (an Anglicisation of Sheumais, the vocative form of the Scottish Gaelic for James, Seumas), though Doyle himself never addresses this beyond including the initial.[6]
In A Study in Scarlet, Watson, as the narrator, recounts his earlier life before meeting Holmes. It is established that Watson received his medical degree from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, the University of London in 1878, and had subsequently gone on to train at Netley as a surgeon in the British Army. He joined British forces in India, saw service in the Second Anglo-Afghan War, was wounded at the Battle of Maiwand (July 1880) by a Jezail bullet in the shoulder,[Note 1] suffered enteric fever and was sent back to England on the troopship HMS Orontes following his recovery.[7]
In 1881, Watson runs into an old friend of his named Stamford, who tells him that an acquaintance of his, Sherlock Holmes, is looking for someone to split the rent at a flat in 221B Baker Street. Watson meets Holmes for the first time at a local hospital, where Holmes is conducting a scientific experiment. Holmes and Watson list their faults to each other to determine whether they can live together. The first of Watson's "confessions" is that he keeps a bull pup. Concluding that they are compatible, they subsequently move into the flat. When Watson notices multiple guests frequenting the flat, Holmes reveals that he is a "consulting detective" and that the guests are his clients.[8]
By this time, Watson has already become impressed with Holmes' knowledge of chemistry and sensational literature. He witnesses Holmes' amazing skills at deduction as they embark on their first case together, concerning a series of murders related to Mormon intrigue. When the case is solved, Watson is angered that Holmes is not given any credit for it by the press. When Holmes refuses to record and publish his account of the adventure, Watson endeavours to do so himself. In time, Holmes and Watson become close friends.
In The Sign of the Four, John Watson becomes engaged to Mary Morstan, a governess. In "The Adventure of the Empty House", statements by Watson imply that Morstan has died by the time Holmes returns after faking his death; that fact is confirmed when Watson moves back to Baker Street to share lodgings with Holmes, as he had done as a bachelor. Conan Doyle made mention of a second wife in "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" and "The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier", but this wife was never named, described, or explained. It was mentioned in His Last Bow that Watson was rejoining the service in London once more.
At the beginning of A Study in Scarlet, Watson states he had "neither kith nor kin in England". In the Sign of the Four, it is established his father and older brother are deceased; both shared the initial 'H'. In this story, Holmes examines an old watch in Watson's possession that was formerly his father's before being inherited by his brother. Holmes estimates the watch to have a value of 50 guineas.[Note 2] so H. Watson senior was likely a very prosperous man. Holmes deduced from the watch that Watson's brother was "a man of untidy habits-very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects but threw away his chances, lived for sometime in poverty with occasional short intervals of prosperity and finally, taking to drink he died."
Watson as Holmes' biographer[edit]
Throughout Doyle's novels, Watson is presented as Holmes' biographer. At the end of the first published Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, Watson is so impressed by Holmes' handling of the case and so incensed by Scotland Yard's claiming full credit for its solution that he exclaims: "Your merits should be publicly recognised. You should publish an account of the case. If you won't, I will for you." Holmes suavely responds: "You may do what you like, Doctor."[9] Hence Watson did write the story, presented as "a reprint from the reminiscences of John H. Watson".[8]
In the first chapter of the second story that Watson records, The Sign of Four, Holmes comments on Watson's first effort as a biographer—but with a distinct lack of enthusiasm: "I glanced over it. Honestly, I cannot congratulate you upon it. Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism... The only point in the case which deserved mention was the curious analytical reasoning from effects to causes, by which I succeeded in unravelling it." Watson admits, "I was annoyed at this criticism of a work which had been specially designed to please him. I confess, too, that I was irritated by the egotism which seemed to demand that every line of my pamphlet should be devoted to his own special doings."[10]
Holmes sometimes accuses Watson of exaggerating his abilities. In "Silver Blaze", Holmes confesses: "I made a blunder, my dear Watson—which is, I am afraid, a more common occurrence than anyone would think who only knew me through your memoirs." When Holmes felt he had bungled something, he could exclaim: "Watson, Watson, if you are an honest man you will record this also and set it against my successes!" (The Hound of the Baskervilles, chapters 5–6.) In his prologue to "The Adventure of the Yellow Face," Watson himself remarked: "In publishing these short sketches [of Holmes' cases]...it is only natural that I should dwell rather upon his successes than upon his failures", although he notes that this is also because where Holmes failed often nobody else succeeded.
Sometimes Watson (or rather Conan Doyle) seems determined to stop publishing stories about Holmes. In "The Adventure of the Second Stain", Watson declares that he had intended the previous story ("The Adventure of the Abbey Grange") "to be the last of those exploits of my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, which I should ever communicate to the public," but later Watson decided that "this long series of episodes should culminate in the most important international case which he has ever been called upon to handle" ("The Second Stain" being that case). Of course, the "long series of episodes" did not end with this story; there were some twenty stories yet to come.
Watson was able to cooperate with Holmes during seventeen of the twenty-three years the detective was in active practice, keeping "notes of his doings". Watson's published accounts are supposed to be based on these notes.[citation needed] In the later stories, written after Holmes' retirement (ca. 1903–04), Watson repeatedly refers to his notes about the various cases: "I have notes of many hundreds of cases to which I have never alluded." He explained that after Holmes' retirement, the detective showed reluctance "to the continued publication of his experiences. So long as he was in actual professional practice the records of his successes were of some practical value to him, but since he has definitely retired...notoriety has become hateful to him" ("The Adventure of the Second Stain"). But during Holmes' active career, the publicity Watson gave to his cases was apparently good for business, however superficial Watson's narratives may have seemed to the detective.
In "The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier," one of only two stories supposedly written by Holmes himself, the detective remarks about Watson: "I have often had occasion to point out to him how superficial are his accounts and to accuse him of pandering to popular taste instead of confining himself rigidly to facts and figures." Yet, when Holmes confronts the need to be his own chronicler, he realises just how difficult it is to write a narrative that will hold the reader's attention, and then he confesses that Watson would have been the better choice to write the story. In any case, Holmes regularly referred to Watson as my "faithful friend and biographer," and at least once exclaims, "I am lost without my Boswell."
At the beginning of "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger", Watson makes strong claims about "the discretion and high sense of professional honour" that govern his work as Holmes' biographer, but discretion and professional honour do not block Watson from expressing himself and quoting Holmes with remarkable candor on the characters of their antagonists and their clients.
In "The Red-Headed League," for example, Watson introduces Jabez Wilson: "Our visitor bore every mark of being an average commonplace British tradesman, obese, pompous, and slow"—wearing "a not over-clean black frock-coat."
After Holmes' retirement, Watson often cites special permission from his friend for the publication of further stories. Yet he also received occasional unsolicited suggestions from Holmes about what stories to tell, as noted at the beginning of "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot". After receiving a telegram from Holmes, Watson promptly "hunt[ed] out the notes which give me the exact details of the case and to lay the narrative before my readers."
Personal characteristics[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
In A Study in Scarlet, having just returned from Afghanistan, John Watson is described "as thin as a lath and as brown as a nut."[11] In subsequent texts, he is variously described as strongly built, of a stature either average or slightly above average, with a thick, strong neck and a small moustache.[12] Watson used to be an athlete: it is mentioned in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire" that he once played rugby for Blackheath, but he fears his physical condition has declined since that point.
Skills and personality[edit]
Watson is described as a crack shot[citation needed] and an excellent doctor and surgeon. Intelligent, if lacking in Holmes' insight, he serves as a perfect foil for Holmes: the archetypal late Victorian / Edwardian gentleman against the brilliant, emotionally-detached analytical machine.
Watson is well aware of both the limits of his abilities and Holmes' reliance on him:
- "Holmes was a man of habits... and I had become one of them... a comrade... upon whose nerve he could place some reliance... a whetstone for his mind. I stimulated him... If I irritated him by a certain methodical slowness in my mentality, that irritation served only to make his own flame-like intuitions and impressions flash up the more vividly and swiftly. Such was my humble role in our alliance." – "The Adventure of the Creeping Man"
Watson sometimes attempts to solve crimes on his own, using Holmes' methods. For example, in The Hound of the Baskervilles, Watson efficiently clears up several of the many mysteries confronting the pair, and Holmes praises him for his zeal and intelligence. However, because he is not endowed with Holmes' almost-superhuman ability to focus on the essential details of the case and Holmes' extraordinary range of recondite, specialised knowledge, Watson meets with limited success in other cases. Holmes summed up the problem that Watson confronted in one memorable rebuke from "A Scandal in Bohemia": "Quite so... you see, but you do not observe." In "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist," Watson's attempts to assist Holmes' investigation prove unsuccessful because of his unimaginative approach, for example, asking a London estate agent who lives in a particular country residence. (According to Holmes, what he should have done was "gone to the nearest public house" and listened to the gossip.) Watson is too guileless to be a proper detective. And yet, as Holmes acknowledges, Watson has unexpected depths about him; for example, he has a definite strain of "pawky humour", as Holmes observes in The Valley of Fear.
Watson never masters Holmes' deductive methods, but he can be astute enough to follow his friend's reasoning after the fact. In "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder," Holmes notes that John Hector McFarlane is "a bachelor, a solicitor, a Freemason, and an asthmatic". Watson comments as narrator: "Familiar as I was with my friend's methods, it was not difficult for me to follow his deductions, and to observe the untidiness of attire, the sheaf of legal papers, the watch-charm, and the breathing which had prompted them." Similar episodes occur in "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot," "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist," and "The Adventure of the Resident Patient." In "The Adventure of the Red Circle", we find a rare instance in which Watson rather than Holmes correctly deduces a fact of value. In The Hound of the Baskervilles[13] Watson shows that he has picked up some of Holmes' skills at dealing with people from whom information is desired. (As he observes to the reader, "I have not lived for years with Sherlock Holmes for nothing." )
Watson is endowed with a strong sense of honour. At the beginning of "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger", Watson makes strong claims about "the discretion and high sense of professional honour" that govern his work as Holmes' biographer, but discretion and professional honour do not block Watson from expressing himself and quoting Holmes with remarkable candor on the characters of their antagonists and their clients. Despite Watson's frequent expressions of admiration and friendship for Holmes, the many stresses and strains of living and working with the detective make themselves evident in Watson's occasional harshness of character. The most controversial of these matters is Watson's candor about Holmes' drug use. Though the use of cocaine was legal and common in Holmes' era, Watson directly criticizes Holmes' habits.
Watson is also represented as being very discreet in character. The events related in "The Adventure of the Second Stain" are supposedly very sensitive: "If in telling the story I seem to be somewhat vague in certain details, the public will readily understand that there is an excellent reason for my reticence. It was, then, in a year, and even in a decade, that shall be nameless, that upon one Tuesday morning in autumn we found two visitors of European fame within the walls of our humble room in Baker Street." Furthermore, in "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger," Watson notes that he has "made a slight change of name and place" when presenting that story. Here he is direct about a method of preserving discretion and confidentiality that other scholars have inferred from the stories, with pseudonyms replacing the "real" names of clients, witnesses, and culprits alike, and altered place-names replacing the real locations.
The portrayal of Watson done by Nigel Bruce made it difficult for moviegoers to see Watson as anything more than a caricature. In the film The Hound of the Baskervilles Watson is depicted as nothing more than an idiot to contrast how brilliant Sherlock was. The Rathbone-Bruce films portrayed Watson as a lovable but incompetent bungler whose main jobs were to act amazed at Sherlock and find trouble.[14] Modern treatments, however, have returned to the roots of the Conan Doyle stories and have depicted a more competent Watson.
Another well-liked depiction[citation needed] was actor André Morell's portrayal of Watson in the 1959 film version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. Morell was particularly keen that his version of Watson should be closer to that originally depicted in Conan Doyle's stories, and away from Nigel Bruce's interpretation of the role.[15] Other depictions include Robert Duvall opposite Nicol Williamson's Holmes in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1978), Donald Houston, who played Watson to John Neville's Holmes in A Study in Terror (1965); a rather belligerent, acerbic Watson portrayed by Colin Blakely in Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), in which Holmes was played by Robert Stephens (who starts the rumour that they are homosexual lovers so women will not chase after him); and James Mason's portrayal in Murder by Decree (1978), with Christopher Plummer as Holmes. Ian Hart portrayed a young, capable and fit Watson twice for BBC Television, once opposite Richard Roxburgh as Holmes (in a 2002 adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles) and for a second time opposite Rupert Everett as the Great Detective in the new story Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004).
In the Soviet/Russian Sherlock Holmes film series directed by Igor Maslennikov Dr. Watson was played by Vitaly Solomin. He is portrayed in the book as a brave and intelligent man, but not especially physically strong.
In the 1988 parody film Without a Clue, the roles of a bungling Watson and an extremely competent Holmes are reversed. In the film, Holmes (Michael Caine) is an invention of Watson (Ben Kingsley) played by an alcoholic actor; when Watson initially offered suggestions on how to solve a case to some visiting policemen, he was at the time applying for a post in an exclusive medical practice, and so invented the fictional Holmes to avoid attracting attention to himself, continuing the "lie" of Holmes' existence after he failed to get the post. At the same time, the film's Watson becomes increasingly frustrated that his own talents are unrecognised, and unavailingly attempts to win celebrity for himself as "the Crime Doctor."[16]
In the 2009 Warner Bros. film Sherlock Holmes directed by Guy Ritchie, Jude Law portrays Watson as brave, intelligent, resolute, and thoroughly professional, as well as a somewhat competent detective in his own right. Apart from being armed with his trademark sidearm, his film incarnation is also a capable swordsman. The film portrays Watson as having a gambling problem, which William S. Baring-Gould had inferred from a reference in "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" to Holmes keeping Watson's cheque book locked in a drawer in his desk.[17] Law also portrayed Watson in the 2011 sequel; Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
Watson appears on the 2010 direct-to-DVD Asylum film Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, a science fiction reinvention in which he is portrayed by actor Gareth David-Lloyd. At the beginning of the film, Watson is an elderly man portrayed by David Shackleton during the Blitz in 1940. He tells his nurse the tale of the adventure which he and Holmes vowed never to tell the public. In 1889, he is a home doctor and personal physician and biographer of Sherlock Holmes (Ben Syder), who often teases that Watson is quite a ladies-man. Watson is portrayed as easily confused by Holmes' abilities; the story is set in 1881, the same year as A Study in Scarlet so it can be assumed that he is still in the first year of working with Holmes. He is a skilled gunman and is loyal, if often irritated, by Holmes' methods.
Well-known examples of the restored image of the more competent Watson on television are the portrayals of the doctor by David Burke and later by Edward Hardwicke in the 1980s and 1990s television series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, all starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes.
The 1950s Sherlock Holmes US TV series featured Howard Marion-Crawford as a stable Watson with a knockout punch.
In the TV series, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, although Watson is long dead, Holmes acquires a 'new' Watson in the form of a robot; originally the property of Inspector Lestrade's descendant, when Lestrade instructed the robot to read up on Sherlock Holmes, the robot downloaded all of the stories into its database, with the result that it now believes itself to be Watson, although still capable of accessing various databases; Holmes goes on to treat the robot as such as he concludes that its spirit is Watson, even if the body is not.
In 2010, the BBC began screening the TV series Sherlock, setting the characters of Holmes and Watson in contemporary London. John Watson, played by Martin Freeman, is again portrayed as a British army doctor, but wounded in the recent conflict in Afghanistan.[18]
The 2012 CBS modern adaptation Elementary sees the typically male character changed to a female one. Lucy Liu portrays Joan Watson, an ex-surgeon turned sober companion - suspected by Holmes to be the result of her losing her career after a malpractice case involving the death of a patient, although it is later revealed that she voluntarily resigned because she blamed herself for the death of a patient, implied to have been someone close to her - who is appointed to recovering drug addict Sherlock Holmes. When her time as his sober companion expires, she is employed as Holmes' apprentice, learning some of his methods and applying them herself to assist Holmes in solving cases.
In the 2013 Russian adaptation Sherlock Holmes Dr. Watson is seen as older than Sherlock, and he was played by Andrei Panin, in his last role, as he died shortly after the filming was finished.
Prose and radio[edit]
Stephen King, the American novelist, wrote a short story called "The Doctor's Case" in the collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes, where Watson actually solves the case instead of Holmes.
Nigel Bruce reprised his film role of Watson on the radio opposite first Basil Rathbone, then Tom Conway as Holmes in the 1940s.
In 1954, Sir Ralph Richardson played Watson in a short radio series on NBC opposite Sir John Gielgud as Holmes.
Watson was also portrayed by English-born actor Michael Williams for the BBC Radio adaptation of the complete run of the Holmes canon from November 1989 to July 1998. Williams, together with Clive Merrison, who played Holmes, are the only actors who have portrayed the Conan Doyle characters in all the short stories and novels of the canon. After Williams' death, the BBC continued the shows with The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Four series were made, all written by Bert Coules who had been the head writer on the complete canon project, with Andrew Sachs starring opposite Merrison. Sachs carried on the standard set by Michael Williams, portraying Watson as Conan Doyle set him down.
In January 1998, Jim French Productions received the rights from the estate of Dame Jean Conan Doyle to produce new radio stories of Holmes and Watson. Lawrence Albert plays Watson to the Holmes of first John Gilbert and later John Patrick Lowrie.
In popular culture[edit]
- Many of the great fictional detectives have their Watson: Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, for example, is accompanied by Captain Arthur Hastings; Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe had Archie Goodwin.
- Although "Elementary, my dear Watson" is perhaps Holmes' best-known catch phrase, he never uses exactly those words in any of the books written by A. Conan Doyle.[19][20] The famous phrase was first coined by humorist P.G. Wodehouse in Chapter XIX of his 1915 book Psmith, Journalist.
- Microsoft named the debugger in Microsoft Windows "Doctor Watson".
- In the television series House, the character of Dr. James Wilson is meant to be a direct reference to Watson (with House himself being a direct reference to Holmes).[21] In addition to the similarity of their names, Wilson serves in the show as House's only real friend and confidant, and occasionally assists him in solving particularly difficult cases.
- In the TV series Sanctuary, Watson is a member of "The Five" and the actual detective in the Conan Doyle stories. The character of Holmes is created and Watson is made his sidekick at Watson's request to Conan Doyle.
- In the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the character Geordi La Forge takes on the role of Dr. Watson in holodeck simulations with his shipmate and friend, Data.
- In the first season of The Muppet Show there is a skit starring Rowlf the Dog as Sherlock Holmes and Baskersville the hound as Dr. Watson that is titled "The Case of the Disappearing Clues."
- American author Michael Mallory began a series of stories in the mid-1990s featuring Watson's mysterious second wife, whom he called Amelia Watson.[22] In Sherlock Holmes' War of the Worlds, Watson's second wife is Violet Hunter, from "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches".
- Watson appears as a supporting character in several of American author Laurie R. King's Mary Russell detective novels. The novels are told from Russell's point of view. The series begins with The Beekeeper's Apprentice (published in 1994) with the latest being Garment of Shadows (published in September 2012). Over the course of the novels, Mary Russell meets, and eventually marries the aging Holmes, who has (semi)retired from his London practice. Watson, who is now in private practice, does not appear until later in the series and is treated as a rather paternalistic old duffer with typical Victorian attitudes toward women, but who still retains his nerve and his taste for adventure. The novels cover the time period between 1915 and the 1920s.
- Dr. Watson, along with Sherlock Holmes, appears in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode, Trials of the Demon.

A FILM DIRECTED BY KARL LAGERFELDIn December 1953, Coco Chanel began her incredible return to center stage. The designer reopens her Haute Couture house after fifteen years of absence. The collection is welcomed by the French press with an icy silence. Only the American media supports the looks that define the rebirth of Chanel's style. The Return retraces this determining period, that shaped the legend of the designer of rue Cambon forever.
The Return features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of Gabrielle Chanel, Rupert Everett, Anna Mouglalis, Lady Amanda Harlech, Arielle Dombasle, the model Kati Nescher, as well as Vincent Darré and Sam McKnight. This new film imagined, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld, will premiere in Dallas on December 10th as an introduction to the 2013/14 Métiers d'Art fashion show, at 6:30pm local time, and broadcasted simultaneously on chanel.com.
Soundtrack: Francis Poulenc "Sonate pour hautbois et piano, Op. 185 : Scherzo"

TAIPEI, NOVEMBER 23RDZhang Ziyi wore a Chanel dress from the Fall-Winter 2012/13 Haute-Couture collection at the 50th Golden Horse Awards, where she won the award for the best leading actress for her performance in the film "The Grandmaster" by Wong Kar-Wai.
November 20th, 2013(Derni�re mise � jour : November 26th, 2013)
AT SCIENCES PO PARISChanel's artistic director has gone back to school. For two hours, the man who ended his studies at age 16 "because he did not have enough time" spoke to an enthusiastic audience, composed of students and personalities in the Grand Amphitheater at Sciences Po, the prestigious Paris University. Hosted by Frederic Mion, the director of IEP Paris, Karl Lagerfeld presented his outstanding destiny with sincerity, subtlety and humor. "The sketcher" as he describes himself, explained the importance of knowledge in his life, "You must know everything! There are so many things to do, to read, to learn… I fight for the 48-hour day!" Karl Lagerfeld shared his view of creation, "My vision follows the times and I also change with it. To never have a fixed position in fashion is essential. We must adapt to the evolution of time, and not vice versa." He reminds the audience of his motto: "There's no credit for the past." The audience is attentive, and the tweets are published as quickly as the accurate speech of the designer.
On the occasion of this conference, Karl Lagerfeld shared some information about the upcoming Métiers d'Art 2013/14 fashion show, which will take place in Dallas on December 10th. The choice of the American city is "a tribute to the United States, the only ones who supported the return of Gabrielle Chanel in 1954 in Paris." He also stressed the importance of métiers d'art – which will be highlighted at the show – and those who perpetuate the excellence of French savoir-faire: "I deeply admire those who have the patience to work one thousand hours on an embroidered piece. As I, myself, don't have any!" After sharing his biggest regret," to not know how to play the piano," Karl Lagerfeld gave the younger generation some valuable advice: "Everyone has to find their path. No generalization."

THE NEW FILM BY KARL LAGERFELDThe Return, a film imagined, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld will premiere in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday, December 10th 2013, before the 2013/14 Métiers d'Art runway show, titled "Paris-Dallas". The screening and the fashion show will take place in Dallas Fair Park, a historical exhibition venue with art deco architecture that is situated in the heart of the city.
Following the short film Once Upon a Time…, which had its debut last May in Singapore, in which Karl Lagerfeld explored Gabrielle Chanel's early days in Deauville in 1913, The Return retraces her footsteps to the reopening of her couture house in 1954 in Paris, and the importance of the role that the United States played in this come back.
The Return features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of Gabrielle Chanel alongside Rupert Everett, Anna Mouglalis, Lady Amanda Harlech, Arielle Dombasle and Kati Nescher as well as Vincent Darré and Sam McKnight. This new short film by Karl Lagerfeld will be premiered - in his presence - in Dallas, on December 10th, 2013 at 6:30pm local time, and simultaneously on chanel.com.

BY KENNETH GOHA little more Chanel stardust has descended on Singapore - just 6 months after Karl Lagerfeld showed Chanel's Cruise collection 2013 at Loewen Cluster earlier this year.
This time round, the magical star dust came in the form of Chanel's classic jacket - black, beautiful and breath-taking. The Little Black Jacket, a photographic book on Chanel's classic revisited by the power duo of Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld, was turned into a photographic exhibition at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, opening on the 8th November 2013.
The museum is one of the most architecturally unique buildings in Singapore. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the architecture is said to be in the form of a lotus flower, with each of its ten "petals" holding various gallery spaces within the Museum. It is also the world's first ArtScience museum. A cavernous space, with over 21 galleries totalling 50 000 square feet, the ArtScience museum sits on the waterfront of the prestigious Marina Bay Sands, right in the heart of the city.
Following on from major cities like Tokyo, New York, London, Paris, Milan, Beijing and Shanghai, Singapore's exhibition (which runs through till the 1st January 2014) presents a whole new feel to the images, underscoring Chanel's values of creativity and modernity. Pictures have been blown up in sizes unseen before and manipulated in ways that blend colour, texture and a clever play of shadow and light in powerful combinations.
Housed deep beneath the ArtScience Museum, at the very root and heart of Singapore's new iconic monument, 3 enormous exhibition halls were turned into one cavernous space to house all 129 celebrities that Karl Lagerfeld shot for the latest edition of The Little Black Jacket (published July 2013). 22 new celebrities were shot for the second edition of the book, to add to the 107 celebrities he initially photographed for the first edition, published in September, 2012.
Karl Lagerfeld's photographs illustrate the versatility and timelessness of the iconic Chanel jacket. With celebrities as diverse as the laughing Sarah Jessica Parker, with her jacket turned into a flamboyant "crown", to the wimple created for Supermodel Freja Beja Erichsen, Karl Lagerfeld's creative direction made every picture arresting and idiosyncratic, with each celebrity adapting the garment to reflect their own inimitable style.
One of the most interesting exhibits includes a short movie of Yoko Ono, moving to the beat of her own drum and creating a rhythm that only someone as free-spirited and eccentric can do.
The exhibition in Singapore has the addition of 22 new celebrities captured on silk screen, on a wall of it's own. Not all were dressed in black, with arch angel Keira Knightley, ravishing as a couture angel, looking celestial in her white jacket and couture gown, as if descending upon the crowd from the heavens. China's Supermodel Sun Fei Fei went all Oriental as a dowager in an extravagant head dress festooned with Chanel camellias, a dragon embroidered qi pao and some dangerous metallic nails in a homage to the Middle Kingdom. Super blogger, Han Huo Huo, did his own rendition, dark and mysterious with just a smudge of kohl around the eyes for melancholy. A separate room has 4 enormous fire engraved glass portraits, one in each colour of the element. Keira Knightly in heavenly white. Sun Fei Fei in brilliant gold (Yellow being the colour of kings in ancient China), Chinese actress Zhou Xun in majestic red (the traditional Chinese colour to symbolise luck and prosperity) and Han Huo Huo in mysterious blue.
Fabulous was the night, and fantastic was the exhibition. Add in Future Fashion Fun, and you have The Little Black Jacket all wrapped up in this Lion City.

"Good morning Guys!" you greeted the shaky Baltic trio as you entered Ivan's home.
"H-Hello (y/n). Nice to see you again, Mr. Russia is gone right now" Latvia gave you a shaky smile and took your coat.
"Oh, he's gone. Is it alright if I wait here for him?" they gave you a shivering nod in return.
Then as you sat on Ivan's plush warm couch, a blur of brown was on you. You looked down to see a large, fluffy brown cat sitting on your lap.
"Aw! How cute! I never knew Russia had a cat!" you cooed and scratched under his chin. This cat was strikingly similar to Ivan, the soft violet eyes, the prominent nose, and the general outlook.
"Your fur is so soft and warm!" you giggled as he rubbed against you tenderly.
The hours flowed by, but still no Ivan. You played with Ivan's cat as you waited.

I heard Pitch yell one last time before we flew out of the ever-sinking lair, his scream echoing and reverberating throughout the cavern. (Name) slightly cringed, obviously not wanting to hear his voice anymore. As a result, I flew faster, getting her away as quickly as possible.
Once we were a safe distance away, I glanced down at her, to see if she was all right. Her facial expression seemed calm enough, but it was easy to tell she had been crying. "Are you okay, (Name)?" I inquired, slightly worried about her.

What they really want is your money
Turner is not the only one beginning to sing the "global warming tune." Al Gore has tuned up once again to say that drastic steps must be taken to stop the world from frying. He is making the "rubber chicken" circuit to peddle his "snake oil," and the sad part is that the mainstream media falls right in line with "Global Warming Al." But this is to be expected since the media is populated with socialist who see this country as unfair, discriminatory, selfish, and arrogant, and the common man as dumb, too dumb, in fact, to think for himself.
I don't know how these two gentlemen would fare on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, an instrument used by psychologist to assess the mental status of patients, but I suspect that the doctor who tried to interpret this test would see mental problems that he had never seen. Well, perhaps I overstate the issue – a little. Ted and Al are global warming advocates because of – you guessed it – the money.
They could care less about the science or the American economy. They've got theirs, and if you don't have yours, tough. Have you noticed that most Democrats are like that?
Does the name East Anglia University ring a bell with you? This English university was the home of "global warming" science until a whistle blower released the papers that had been made up by the so-called scientists. Yes, they had made up the data to support their bogus science.
Today, everyone interested knows that global warming was a hoax perpetrated by liberals to take money and liberty away from you and me. Since Bill "Slick Willie" Clinton was in office, we have been hearing about a carbon tax. This means that a tax is going to be placed on every BTU any of us use. It will cost significantly more to heat and cool your home, purchase gas for your car, use the electric oven or wash your clothes. The global warming crowd wants you to live like middle age peasants while they jet about in their fancy jets to places like the French Riviera or the Swiss Alps, and eat the finest caviar known to man.
But liberals are everywhere, attaching themselves to every hair brained idea that some liberal or progressive thought tank can conjure. Just last week, a far-left columnist, Leonard Pitts, who works for the Miami Herald, wrote about a man who robbed a bank in order to get thrown in jail so that he could get medical treatment. According to Pitts' column which appeared in the Clarion-Ledger, Pitts loves to pay taxes so that health horror stories like this one do not happen. The robber, a 59 year old man, had become disabled and could not work. He had no insurance, and no money. He, therefore, chose to rob a bank, get thrown in jail, and then the State of North Carolina would be compelled to pay for his treatment.
This may be one of the more stupid things I have ever heard. But Pitts loved it because it fits into his liberal-socialist view that Obamacare is the answer to all health problems. I honestly hope that James Verone, the robber, spends a lot of time in federal prison. Why? Not because he is stupid, although he is that, but there are literally hundreds of state and federal programs available to get him the treatment he needs. If he wanted to continue working, the North Carolina Department of Vocational Rehabilitation would have been happy to get him treated for his condition without it costing him a penny. Pitts bought this sob story hook, line, and sinker, and published false information to the public. If he had only done some basic research, he could have probably listed at least 25 resources that James Verone could have sought.
But research is hard work. Why should liberals do hard work when it is so much easier and a lot more fun to simply make it up. The scary thing about all of this is that liberals see James Verone as a hero when in fact he is a criminal. When you figure that one out, drop me a line.

I was searching for some information of the various different types of *-tree (b-tree, red-black-tree .... there really are a million of those trees) Then i stumbled upon "Fractal Tree" from some oddly named "database" called "TokuDB". Yeah, a bunch of weird names indeed.TokuDB itself is a MySQL storage engine designed for high performance on write-intensive workloads, which uses fractal tree indexing. Those wishing to learn more about this topic can see How TokuDB Fractal Tree Databases Work Presentation (PDF presentation from O'Reilly 2010 MySQL Conference & Expo).
When diving in it more deeply i found some nice articles, i would recommend taking a look at them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TokuDB In short this technique makes use of the speed of hard drives, not the (relatively slow) access times. It even beats SSD's in one of those articles. Another one is that those "Fractal Tree" things really scale very very very well across multiple cores and with hundreds of millions of entries. B-Trees don't work that well anymore when there are so much entries which is exactly what is happening on file systems!
So there you go, "Fractal Tree", probably the future for B-Tree which would make btrfs obsolete i guess. Or they start using this stuff and rename there fs to "ftrfs" hehehe ^_- (furst f stands for Fractal)
Phoronix:On the topic of Counter-Strike / Source Engine games on Linux, I don't have anything new to say at the moment besides that I continue to stand by my earlier statements. For those that haven't seen the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive trailer, it's embedded below.
The beta version of Counter-Strike Global Offensive has an empty (currently empty, at least) 'linux32' directory inside the 'bin' directory. Here's the full path:

UPDATE: Motorcyclist killed in Bolton town centre lorry crash (From The Bolton News)
UPDATE: Motorcyclist killed in Bolton town centre lorry crash
9:43am Thursday 5th September 2013 in News By Charlotte Dobson, Health reporter
The scene of the crash at the junction of Bradford Street and St Peter's Way this morning. Picture by Michelle Dolan.
A MOTORCYCLIST died after a crash with a lorry in Bolton town centre.
The incident happened at about 9.10am this morning at the top of the slip road from St Peter's Way to Bradford Street, The Haulgh.
It left the motorcyclist pinned under the front wheel on the driver's side of the large HGV tipper truck.
The victim, who has been named as Michael Stockton, aged 59, was taken to Salford Royal Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.
A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death while driving without due care.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
Eyewitness Neil Tong was walking with his dog across the bridge over St Peter's Way when the accident happened.
Mr Tong, aged 37 from Halliwell, said: "I was on the corner of the bridge near the slip road and I just heard a screeching noise followed by a thud.
"But it was behind me so it wasn't until I turned around that I realised what had happened. When I looked down at the truck's wheels I realised it was the motorcyclist beneath the wheel.
"Then it was all pandemonium after that. I called the ambulance and once they arrived I saw them trying to save him.
"That image will stick with me forever. It was a terrible thing to see and I'll never forget it."
Peter Haggerstui, aged 35, from Salford, said: "I was driving past in my van and I saw all of the police cars and ambulances. You could see the motorbike and it looked like a terrible crash."
Mr Stockton, who was riding a Honda motorcycle, suffered injuries to his head, chest and limbs and went into cardiac arrest.
Bradford Street was closed to all traffic travelling towards Bolton town centre while officers from the serious collision unit investigated the accident.
A police spokesman said: "Police were called to St Peter's Way following reports of a collision between a lorry and a motorbike.
"Officers attended and found that a motorcyclist had been involved in a collision with a HGV.
"The man was taken to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later."
Witnesses are asked to call traffic police on 0161 8564741.
- Michael Stockton's family have paid tribute to him, describing him as a loving husband, father and grandfather.

Simulation based on Fig. 6C of Bush, PC and Prince, DA and Miller, KD (1999) Increased pyramidal excitability and nmda conductance can explain posttraumatic epileptogenesis without disinhibition: a model.

Double click on mosinit.hoc in the ctxnet directory in window explorer On the OS X mac: Drag the ctxnet folder to the mknrndll icon under the Neuron 5.7 application. When the above is complete drag the ctxnet folder to the nrngui icon. Simulation shows epileptiform response to brief single stimulation in a 500 cell network of multicompartment models, some of which have active dendrites. The simulation depends on random number generation so will likely run differently under different operating systems. The results which I obtained under Redhat Linux is shown in result.gif. The current version can have a couple of lines uncommented in holt_random.mod (see comments) to have the seed change each time the simulation is run. Original 1997 code from Paul Bush modified slightly by Bill Lytton to make it work with current version of NEURON (5.7.139).
