Main Quotes main index Narrative
"The preceding paragraph is all stuff I just made up. But it's canonical now."
A statement regarding some ambiguous or undefined aspect of a work, the Word of God comes from someone considered to be the ultimate authority, such as the creator, director, or producer. Such edicts can even go against events as were broadcast, due to someone making a mistake. Can lead to Creative Differences.
On a similar note, the term Bible is sometimes used for the definitive guidelines for writing an episode of a TV series. Where a show might have a lot of details, there can sometimes be a book which contains rules about the show, backstory, forbidden interactions, etc. That book is referred to as the show's Bible.
Fans may look for the Word of God to settle Fanon disputes, but the Authority may have moved on and doesn't care to respond. In many cases the authority does not feel the need to respond; further pressure simply leads to suggestions that the fandom is misaimed and Viewers Are Morons.
Note that a number of people reject the notion of Word of God, considering something to be canon only if it appeared in the original source material, and that if the creator wanted a certain fact to be canon that s/he should have included it in the work to begin with. Some people go even further, considering the uncertainty and ambiguity of canon to be a good thing and decry the Word of God as shackling the imagination and interpretations of the fans — a belief supported by some modern literary criticism, notably in Wimstatt and Beardsley's "The Intentional Fallacy" and Barthes' Death of the Author essay, both of which argue that the interpretation of a work cannot be limited to attempts to discern the "author's intentions."
Another thorny issue is that not all stories have a single creator, and the collaborators may not actually agree with interpretations of their story that weren't made explicit in the work. This is especially likely if they no longer work together, and particularly if they had a real-life falling out. In this case, there are multiple "Gods" given potentially contradictory explanations, so whose word is to be considered correct? Likewise, in many cases the writers of a story are not the copyright holders, meaning that they're not the highest authorities on its meaning even if you do subscribe to the Word of God theory.
It's important to remember that if you disagree with the Word of God, there's nothing wrong with writing fan fiction that contradicts it, just don't try to foist your preferred Fanon on fans who acknowledge the official canon or on the actual creator of the work.
If a work has more than one creator and they disagree with each other on a crucial point, you'll likely see fans embrace conflicting statements. What happens when multiple fans are equipped with the Word of God? What happens when one Word turns out to be more ridiculous than expected?
Bible fight!
Not to be read as World of Goo. See also Revision, Canon Discontinuity, Creator Worship, Broken Base. When the word does not come from the creator himself but from someone involved in some ancillary role in production, that's Word of Saint Paul. When the word does not come from the original creators but over time is still treated as such it is Word of Dante. Not always ends up giving fans the answers they were looking for, such as in the case of a Flip Flop of God or a Shrug of God. Contrast Death of the Author, What Could Have Been and God Never Said That. Word of Gay is a subtrope. One way that a theory can be Jossed. For actual scripture, see "Religion" under Useful Notes.
Note: We don't require citations like That Other Wiki does. However, since this trope is about statements made by a creator about a work of media outside of said work of media, it is highly recommended that citations be provided. We don't particularly want to slander anyone by accident, but more importantly, citations will allow for full-context interviews and thus broader summations of the Word of God, since we can get it straight from the God's mouth instead of secondhand.

Real People. Real Advice. It's the Maine Thing.
Easy Escapades
Barry Tripp here, checking in from Old Orchard Beach where my wife Sherri and I own the Ocean Tripp Inn. We offer surf lessons with rentals and we are nestled right down next to the sand. The weather has been stellar, so I've surfed nearly every day and haven't worn a wetsuit in weeks, which is something I can't say too often. We're lucky to be running our little surf school, sharing a sport that magically connects you to the ocean and provides an unmatched stoke for the soul. I'm always amazed at the excitement folks have when they catch their first wave, and we're proud to be part of their amazing memories. The summer has been just perfect and the beach provides tons of activities in our little corner of Maine. The striper fishing has been great from the beach, kayak and boat – I even tried it from a stand-up paddle board which didn't turn out so well. We have several beach volleyball courts along the beach with one right outside our front door. It's always nice to see the folks getting their morning run in on our 7 miles of shore front, from Camp Ellis to Pine Point. Oh, I can't forget about downtown, where there's an amusement park and pier offering great food, music and games.
The last few nights we've felt a hint of the seasonal change with night time temperatures dropping just a bit. Although we're not giving up on summer yet, it is nice to anticipate our family pilgrimage north to the mountains, where we have a home in Carrabassett Valley on Sugarloaf Mountain. I know it's a little early to be thinking of powder turns, but Carrabassett Valley is the kind of place where you can experience epic conditions and make friends for life.
Before I go, just a little "heads up" – I was talking with a women from Chicago on the beach yesterday. She said, "You would never know about Old Orchard Beach unless you stopped and took the time to enjoy what is offered. You have to experience the beauty of the sights, sounds and people."
I'll check in again this fall. In the meantime, get out here and enjoy!

Its as cold as a witches tit here in London at the moment. The kind of cold that gets into your bones, and wont shift until it's made to. Which is where this chorizo and chickpea stew comes in. A bit of a riff on the Spicy Spanish Stew I do, this is hotter, spicier, smokier and has all the ingredients to give you that Ready Brek glow, but without having to shovel some unpleasant gruel down your neck.
I use Brindisa's picante chorizo, as I like it the best, but you can use whichever cooking chorizo floats your boat. Don't use the salami like cured stuff, as it doesn't really work for this recipe. Lets crack on.
Ingredients (serves 3-4)
6 cooking chorizo
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium hot red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp maras biberi
1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)

and never go to bed early.
So, I let my ps3 turn itself off at 12am last night, because I wasn't going to play a game or watch netflix/hulu plus. And, I spent time on the internet, obviously wasting time away. I went to bed at about 2:30. And wouldn't I figure out when I wake up that at 2am I got a fucking message with a beta invite code for Dark Souls II. Something I've been waiting on for a good long time. And now, it's not even active because it was only open to 5000 people on a first come, first serve basis.
I am so angry at myself for missing this.

Sherlock Holmes may claim to be the world's first "consulting detective," but he's not the only one any longer. Enter the Vidocq Society.
Born in France in 1775, Eugène Vidocq, noted criminal-turned-detective, fell in and out of trouble (and prison) from the age of thirteen until thirty-four, when he offered up his services as an informant to the French police. After a couple years working undercover, Vidocq created France's first undercover detective bureau, the Sûreté Nationale, the inspiration for both Scotland Yard and the F.B.I. Vidocq himself inspired several characters in works by Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac, and Edgar Allen Poe.
Named in honor of Vidocq, the Society, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of retired and current members of forensic and law enforcement professions. The founding members include former FBI and U.S. Customs Special Agent William Fleisher, pseudo-psychic forensic sculptor Frank Bender, and forensic psychologist and profiler Richard Walter. The three friends wanted to create a place where "like-minded persons, in and out of forensics, could gather to discuss and debate crimes and mysteries." Since their first meeting in 1990, the organization has mushroomed into one hundred and fifty members, and found its final resting place in the Union League of Philadelphia, a Victorian brownstone built in the mid-1800s.
A society of distinguished criminologists, the Vidocq Society offers its detective services free of charge, and even pays for the travel expenses of those who come to plead their case in Philadelphia. There are qualifications, though. The Vidocq Society will only consider unsolved murder cases more than two years old (and therefore a "cold case") with non-criminal victims presented to them by the appropriate law enforcement agency. If a case is selected, the appropriate official will travel to Philadelphia to present their case at one of the Society's monthly lunches. If one or more of the members are interested in the case, they can form a subcommittee for further investigation.
all this expertise together…it's one stop shopping." |
The Vidocq Society has an excellent track record when it comes to the cases it takes on–as one local police chief they helped enthused, "When you bring all this expertise together…it's one stop shopping." They've helped solve several high-profile cold cases, including that of the infamous John List. The religious List methodically murdered his mother, wife, daughter, and two sons in 1971 in New Jersey, explaining in a note that he was sending them to heaven, and disappeared without a trace. Eighteen years later, in 1989, Bender and Walter aided America's Most Wanted in capturing List. Walter created a profile for him, claiming he would be remarried, wearing a suit, involved with the Lutheran Church, and within 300 miles of the crime scene. Using this information, Bender sculpted an "aged" bust of List. Police caught and arrested List almost immediately.
Recently, the society helped the miniscule town of Coquille, Oregon solve the decade-old murder of fifteen year old Leah Freeman. In 2010, Walter helped Coquille Police Chief Mark Dannels discover more evidence in the murder case, and Leah's then-boyfriend, Nick McGuffin, was arrested for murder.
The Vidocq Society has been covered comprehensively in crime journalist Michael Capuzzo's book, The Murder Room. Interspersing their most famous cases with in-depth character studies of the three enigmatic founders, Capuzzo brings the society to light almost as well as the Vidocq Society brings criminals to justice.

Sila examines the competing interests shaping the future of the Canadian Arctic and local Inuit population. Set on Baffin Island in the territory of Nunavut, it follows a climate scientist, an Inuit activist and her daughter, two Canadian Coast Guard officers, an Inuit elder and two polar bears as they see their values challenged and their lives become intricately intertwined. Equal parts Inuit myth and contemporary Arctic policy, Sila uses puppetry, projections, spoken word poetry and three different languages; English, French & Inuktitut.

Anne M. Waple is a paleoclimatology researcher at the Climatology Laboratory of the Department of Geoscience at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. She offers this answer.
Image: SOHO |
Since the telescope was invented in 1610, people have been regularly recording differences in the appearance of the sun. Although some observations were made earlier, it was really the telescope that allowed consistent sightings of dark blotches on the sun's surface. It was not until 1843, however, that Heinrich Schwabe, an amateur astronomer, declared that these sunspots appeared to come and go in a regular 11-year cycle.
Following Schwabe's announcement, there were many attempts at making correlations with the sunspot cycles. Everything from the economy to crop yields as well as weather was linked to 11-year cycles. But when the statistics were closely examined, there was little evidence that these apparent correlations were based in reality.
It was not until 1976 that a paper published in Science by John A. Eddy of Saginaw Valley State University renewed interest in the sun-climate relationship with a comprehensive analysis of many different historical records of solar observation. Once this evidence had been synthesized, it became much clearer that there were robust correlations between the temperature and sunspots.
From 1645 to 1715, a period known as the Maunder Minimum, there were virtually no sunspots observed, indicating a "quiet" period in the sun's activity. This period coincides with the height of a time known as the Little Ice Age, which was a period of lower temperatures in Europe and perhaps globally.
Image: Mt. Wilson Observatory |
Perhaps the most important development in the solar-climate link came in 1978. At that time, satellites that could measure the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) received by the Earth from the Sun without atmospheric disturbance were launched. TSI is shown to be directly related to these "activity" cycles that Schwabe noticed 150 years ago. At the maxima of these cycles, there are more sunspots (which are magnetic phenomena that decrease total irradiance), but new instruments show that these dark sunspots are more than compensated for by bright areas on the sun, called faculae. Therefore, the overall irradiance increases in correspondence with higher numbers of sunspots.
The satellite data have now been able to capture two complete cycles (21 and 22). When Richard C. Willson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Columbia University's Center for Climate Systems Research analyzed the data in the September 26, 1997 issue of Science, he noticed an increase in TSI of 0.036 percent from the previous minimum in 1986.
There are certain issues regarding the accuracy of the satellite data. When the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM I) satellite ended its mission, there was a delay in launching ACRIM II, which meant that data from the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) satellite data had to be used during the intervening period. ERBS produces different absolute values from its measurements and is not able to calibrate itself as well as the ACRIM satellites. Still, it seems as though the precision of the data is sufficient to believe this increase in the minimum values.

from Frankfort, Illinois USA |
The review of M Zajack is totally bogus..Iwas there, I played in the 1968 Western Open at OFCC.The course record at FCC was 67, held by 10 people, until the Il Open was held there in 1984 when Nick Zamboli shot 66 in the first round. Mark Egge. a member shot 65 seceral years later and that score still stands as the record. (2007). Tom Barry Class A PGA can verify any of my remarks. He is currently the Head Professional at Jefferson Lakeside Club, Richmond, Va. (2007) He worked for me from 1967 til 1981. The course has under gone a number of changes ove the years, including one as we speak. The course is truly "world class" and second to none. It is in great condition and challenging in every respect. Flossmoor has hosted many bog tome tournaments including the PGA in the 1923 several Illinois Opens, four WWGA Amateur Championships and the US Amateur Championship also in the 20's. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the Champ. tees. It may be the best kept scret in the country as far as outstanding courses and facilities are concerned. Very truly yours, David G. Ogilvie III Professional Emeritus Flossmoor Country Club (2007) P.S. Don Darfler was club champion at FCC in 1967 and 1968. |

Micheal Zajac, May 24, 2006 |
reviewer: David Jarrard
from Flossmoor, IL |
I have read Mr. Zajac's letter. This is not a credible story. The round of golf between Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Bob McCall (longtime member) and Mark McCormick did not take place. I brought this letter to the attention of Dave Ogilivie (head pro at the time) as well as Mark McCall, Bob's son. No recollection of this round exists. I might add Dave Ogilvie remebered this week very well and also remebered Zajac. While many great golfers have played this course inculding the ones mentioned above, the round in question did not occur. |

great, Jan 11, 2005 |
reviewer: Michael Zajac
from Winchester tn |
Letter to the Editor I live in Winchester Tennesse and I came to Chicago Heights area to vist My Family and to see the Western open. Last year I was here to see the U.S. open. I was wishful that Tiger Woods would win both Events. That was not the case. I visted Flossmoor and Idelwild Country Clubs because I Caddied at both clubs. I remember when Jack won the Western open at Olympia Feilds Country club in 1968. I also remember him playing at Flossmoor Country Club the week before with Arnold Palmer, Mark MCcormick, and the Late Bob Mcall. I thought That day would be just another Thusday, I hoped to get a ladies bag and come home with 7 bucks. It was a very quiet day with very little action. The Caddiemaster was Bob Kenne a short and heavey set man in his late 60,s. Bob called all us Caddies inside for a meeting. I was fearful because he fired one Caddie that day for smoking on the course. Bob called us in and Said I have to send all You boys home. I wondered if he was going to fire us all, and go with just carts because it was a rumor going aroud that the club would do so. Bob flat out said due to an emergency of the clubs president that the club would be closed the rest of the day. I thought that the club president was sick or died so I just went home. On the way I rememberd that I left My lunch at the Caddie house and went back to get it. I was walking in the parking lot and saw a large limo come in, I followed it to the clubs main door the driver opened the Limo door and out steped, Jack, Arnold, and Mike. The limo driver opened the trunk and He took out 3 sunday type bags. I had Palmer and Nicklaus sign My lunch bag. Mccormick said He was not a famous Golfer but I said thats ok, and he signed it, I said thank You. Bob Mcall came out with his bag and Said Mike its time to go home. I asked him if I could watch them play and He said NO! so I left and went home. Saterday morning I came back and Bob called Me into his office and I though I was done for. He told me not to say anything about Thusday and He would make it worh My while. Isaid ok. Two Sundays later at the end of My loop and paying Me he said, I got a very special tip for you, He went into his back pocket and gave me the score Card from the Thusday Round. Palmer shot 63, Mcall 67, Jack 61, Mccormick 70. Palmer And Mccall beat Nicklaus and Mccormick 1 up on the bestball match on the last hole. Now I am sitting at My desk writting this wishing I was 14 again, carrying a bag and walking those fairways . I hope My Son Phillip who is 5 now Can someday do the same. Not just to earn a buck but to learn about More about Golf, work, and kindness of others. Here I am Back in Winchester tn, I see kids hanging out, Maybe doing drugs, no Caddie Jobs with in 100 miles. I just like to say to the Caddies out here to have there chin up be proud of what You do and be graetful to the Members because in short You kids have it good. Enjoy The job, create long lasting memorys, because not eveyone has the chances in life as You do. Michael Zajac 421 country club rd Winchester, tn 37398 931-968-9768 |

This variation of the popular Peruvian dish "Lomo Saltado" contains simple but delicious ingredients.
Comments: 44 | Views: 26565 | Success: 97% |
Being half Peruvian I was quite pleased to see one of the most wonderful dishes of my father's homeland gaining in popularity. While the recipe isn't 100% authentic, as it substitutes Sambal Ulek (Oelek) for ají amarillo (Peruvian Yellow Chili) I understand the change as it can be quite difficult to find outside of South America. I haven't tried this recipe yet but I hope those who do enjoy a peak at one of the world's most rich culinary cuisines.
I made this recipe last night for dinner and was very happy with the end result. I did however substitute the Sambal Ulek for thai chile sauce and I did not have green peppers so I only used red peppers. I also added a little fresh garlic to the recipe.
I made the rice in my little rice maker and that worked out perfect. I will definitely make this recipe again!
as a peruvian prepare this recipe, this wonderfull fusion of some chines tecnics, ingredients and peruvians ingredients too.....man is great!!!!! i love peru jeje...i wanna finish my gastronomics studies and go to other country and show them my culture and the wonderfull flavours of my country.........PERU!!!!!!
vamos resaltemos la cocina peruana !!!!!!!!!!!!!fusion de sabores y cultura!!!!!!!!
I have not yet made the entire recipe but I thought the potatoes looked yummy on their own. I made them and they tasted better than my favourite
"twice cooked" french fries. I have no idea why soaking in hot tap water works, but it does. I didn't have russet potaoes so used yukon gold and used a stoneware baking pan. They really were great.
We're happy you enjoyed the fries!
When making fries, it's best to soak the potatoes prior to cooking. Soaking removes some of the surface sugar from the potato and will give it a delicate, crispy crust. Cold water is often used, however, it's fine to use hot water to speed up the process.

Gracias nuevamente.
p.s. I had Sergio one of our camera men translate this for me... thanks Sergio.
I have to say in this case the dish is already flavorful enough. Also the texture of caramelized onions would not lend itself as nicely as the sauteed onions do.
That being said, no one is stopping you from trying this out. But I say save your caramelized onions for something else...like inside a panini or with grilled pork or chicken.
The "Cooking and finishing the dish" step brings you to the "Mise en Place for the Sauce" step in Lemon Chicken w/ Pine Nuts and olives instead of the Lomo Saltado. I don't know why it does this. I've played the Lomo Saltado recipe before and it worked then.
Just thought you might like to fix this mix-up.
I have watched all the video recipes, except this one.This oneis not in the video collection of Rouxbe. I came to this link with the help of Joe's suggestion here http://rouxbe.com/recipes/1092/comments.
How could this be? I am a real fan of the video recipes so I hope I don't miss any recipe.
It was a setting that we had placed on this particular recipe. It has since been fixed, so it should come up when you search under "mains" or "lomo" or even "beef".
And just for the record I made this the other night for dinner, I had forgotten just how good it was. Both Joe and I thought it was really delicious.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes Naouar!
It's fantastic that you have this unique Peruvian recipe! My suggestions will be to saute the onions separately from the tomato and with a little bit of red wine vinegar in both cases. If you can find red onions they will give much more flavor to your dish! And you MUST try fresh coriander when it is already serve, it will give a fresh flavor and even more color to your dish.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I have two girls (3 & 4) and Santa brought them both one for Christmas this year. They LOVED them and use them everyday. The only thing that could be improved is that the light is not very bright and the drawer comes all the way out so sometimes they drop it.
great first vanity
By shore momma
from New jersey
This is an amazing 1st vanity. Durable, not overly huge, and easy assembly. My 3 yr old loves this. She has room for all her faux jewels, brushes, curlers, faux curling iron and hair dryer. She even has her boa around the mirror. I would recommend this for ages up to around Kindergarten, after Kindergarten I would get a nicer woooden one. Two flaws are the light (which works) does not give off any real light. Also, the vanity top has room for lipsticks and such. I don't let my 3 yr old play with real makeup unsupervised so I would rather have flat compartments to put in anything (nonspecific), instead it has holes to stand up cosmetics. All in all, I think this is a great vanity and would definately recommend this to others.
My granddaughter's favorite gift!!!

But now, eight years later, Eminem is primed to make his return -- a sexy return at that. It's not a highly personal tale, nor an '8 Mile' sequel, but rather Fernando Meirelles' upcoming sex-themed drama, '360,' placing him face to face with some of Hollywood's best talent.
News that he's in talks to star in a saucy drama is a surprise, but it's nothing compared to the other actors involved in this production. Meirelles is the man behind 'City of God,' 'The Constant Gardener' and 'Blindness,' and he's already tapped both Rachel Weisz and Anthony Hopkins for roles. Now, with the latest report from Production Weekly's Twitter feed, we've got Eminem and Frances McDormand circling.
How Mathers name became tossed around with the rest is anyone's guess. The other actors are all Oscar-winning talent, and Weisz's win happens to be for her work in Meirelles' 'Gardener.' As Deadline reported earlier this month, the film was written by Peter Morgan and inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's play, 'Reigen.' While there's no word on how this incarnation will play out, the source material focused on short scenes between couples both before and after sex, each subsequent scene having one of the previous participants until the sex comes full-circle.
While there are still question marks floating around the inclusion of Eminem, this also means -- hopefully -- seeing McDormand in some sexier, more real-life fare. Though she's known for her more visually awkward and homely roles, whether it be 'Miss Pettigrew,' 'Almost Famous' or 'Fargo,' there are some delightfully sexy and pitch-perfect gigs in her past, like record producer Jane in 'Laurel Canyon.'
Now it's time to hear from you. Can Eminem hold his own against the above, Academy-loved talent? Weigh in below.

The Little Giant VCC-20ULS is a low profile, compact condensation pump for applications with limited space. The pump features a safety switch that can be connected to shut down the air system, or wired to an alarm to warn of possible tank overflow. The VCC-20ULS is rated for high-efficiency condensing gas furnace applications that produce and acidic condensate.
Air conditioners and high-efficiency furnaces have a water drain on them, as water is collected while they operate. This water drains out a tube to your floor drain. But what if you don't have a floor drain? Then you can use this condensate pump to run the drain tube anywhere you like, such as in a sink, or into a drain pipe. This condensate pump attaches next to the furnace or air handler, where it collects the water. You connect a 3/8" drain tube to the pump, and run it where ever you like, including veritically overhead, since it can pump the water against gravity. An automatic float-switch turns it on periodically to empty the drain water.

Jennifer Yen
Jennifer Yen was a successful working actress living in Los Angeles when she noticed her skin was breaking out and becoming easily irritated after hours in makeup and under hot lights. She started looking for products that would help improve her skin's condition. Unfortunately, most of the products she found contained dyes, synthetic fragrances, parabens and allergens which made her skin even worse.
Yen's search for natural, pure and effective skincare products was repeatedly fruitless. As a result, she decided to create her own line and enrolled in the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising where she took classes in beauty marketing, chemistry and entrepreneurship. While still in school, Yen met a leading dermatological chemist who helped her create what is now known as pur~lisse.
Today, Yen is hard at work spearheading the growth of her new skincare brand as she is committed to providing consumers with products that promote long-term healthy, beautifully radiant skin.
Pur~lisse has been featured in magazines such as Elle, In Style, Lucky, Town & Country, Redbook, Fitness, and more! Yen is a graduate of Boston University where she majored in business and marketing. She currently resides in Los Angeles.

The Federal Government's My University website launched on April 3, 2012.
It contains some incorrect or confusing information for potential Bond University students.
There are two main reasons for this:
1. Bond's three semester per year structure is not considered in the calculations that My University makes on Bond's data; and
2. The results are drawn from two separate sets of data, and there are inconsistencies in the reporting structure of these data.
As a result the My University site currently displayed tries to fit Bond's data based on three full semesters per year into a public university model of two semesters per year. This is causing major errors in the information displayed.
The major issues for Bond University are:
Many other universities have reported inaccuracies with the display for their data and the industry's peak body Universities Australia have acknowledged the website has numerous errors and misinterpreted data. Bond University is working with Universities Australia and the My University website team in an effort to have these inaccuracies corrected.

lordkinbote Reviews: 4 |
I've watched it from the get-go and being halfway through the second season, I realized that after (or near the end of) every episode, I think to myself, "Man, I LOVE this show!" It was great in the first season and I think the second season has gotten even better by upping the stakes and showing a new conflict for the main characters to deal with on top of the original secret of the first season. It took me this long to say, "Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to own this show." The writing is very tight and rarely if ever gives the ending away. You never really see what's coming next or how the characters will resolve the messes they run into. I'm not British, but I may have to say the show is "brilliant." ;-) Read more Review posted on Friday, August 3rd 2012 at 5:39 am |

The sensor is larger than the APS-C sensors used in mainstream Canon SLRs such as the EOS-40D or the new Canon EOS Rebel XSi, but it's smaller than those in a 1Ds Mark III or 5D, which is the size of a full frame of 35mm film.

MEMA Tips to help keep cool and safe
Here are some tips from MEMA to follow during hot, humid weather:
-- Slow down, avoid strenuous activity. Do not try to do too much on a hot day.
-- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect heat and sunlight and help maintain normal body temperature.
-- Protect your face with a wide-brimmed hat.
-- Drink plenty of water regularly and often, even if you do not feel thirsty. Attempt to stay hydrated.
-- Limit intake of alcoholic beverages. They can actually dehydrate your body.
-- Eat well-balanced, light, regular meals. Avoid high protein foods that increase metabolic heat.
-- Stay indoors as much as possible.
-- If you do not have air conditioning, stay on your lowest floor, out of the sun. Electric fans do not cool the air, but they do help evaporate perspiration, which cools your body.
-- Go to a place where you can get relief from the heat, such as air conditioned schools, libraries, theaters and other community facilities that may offer refuge during the warmest times of the day.
-- Check with your community for information about possible local 'cooling centers'.
-- Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades, awnings or louvers. Outdoor awnings or louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home by up to 80%.
-- Avoid too much sunshine. Sunburn slows the skin's ability to cool itself. If you are outside, use sunscreen lotion with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) rating.
-- Never leave children or pets alone in a closed vehicle.
-- Do not leave pets outside for extended periods. Make sure that pets have plenty of drinking water.
-- Check on family, friends and neighbors
