Lost Boy of Sudan Seeks To Heal His Homeland
Sudan's civil war killed more than 2 million people and, in a well-known episode, sent 20,000 boys in the country's South on a 1,000-mile march to Ethiopia and Kenya. Beset by thirst, hunger, wild animals and bombing attacks, fewer than half of them survived. John Dau, one of about 4,000 so-called Lost Boys of Sudan who were helped to relocate to the United States, told his story at the law school.

Country life is for me........
By a customer from Staffordshire England , 17 Nov 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
What an envious lifestyle Hugh demonstrates. A small holding and living off the land (I wish). A wake up reminder for all of us living the 'RATRACE' and shopping at supermarkets, that food does not come prepacked. Enjoy these country recipes at there best, absorb yourself with this series and you'll wish it was you.- Was this review helpful to you?

(14)And I am following all the way...
By a customer from London , 28 Mar 2008I am a massive fan of the River Cottage series and would also recommend the first season 'Escape to River Cottage'. This second season is quite different in character as it sees Hugh embarking on a new more commercially driven project of setting up and expanding his organic farming business, so less of recipes and the excitement of new experiences of a downshifter but nonetheless still fascinating.- Was this review helpful to you?

Simply brilliant
By Andy Dovey from Birmingham, England , 27 Jun 2007Hugh is just brilliant, a breath of fresh air on the cookery side. I have watched everything from his cook on the wildside right up to Beyond River cottage and cannot get enough of them.

text: Star sign: Favourite song: Queen – The Show Must Go On Favourite food: Italian either eaten at a restaurant or delivered to my front door. I can't cook to save my life! Favourite drink: Fresh orange juice with my sensible head on, otherwise it's a pint of lager. Hobbies: I like to read a lot, both fiction and non-fiction. I am also a massive football fan and that takes up a large chunk of my life (and wallet!). Favourite football team: The super Seagulls, who else!? Song to sing at Karaoke: I once sang 'Hound Dog' by Elvis and even since then I avoid Karaoke nights. No idea why... Biggest star ever met: The Saturdays of modern music fame. Of days gone by, it would have to be Stuart Adamson from the band Big Country. Favourite Film/TV programme: Favourite film – The Green Mile. TV Programme – I'm a massive fan of comedy so it's a toss up between Only Fools & Horses or Fawlty Towers. Most worn item of clothing and why: Jeans, because I find that leaving the house without them is not socially acceptable! That, and the fact they keep my legs warm. Who would play you in the film of your life? A few people have said I look a bit like Russell Crowe, so I will go with him. Although for sheer acting ability it would have to be Tom Hanks. If you didn't work in radio what would you do? In my dreams I would be a Premier League footballer, in reality I'd more likely be a football commentator. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why? I love Sussex and have lived here all my life. They say home is where the heart is, so I'll stay put. Who would you most like to have a drink with, and why? Gus Poyet, the Brighton manager, because I think he would be great company. Other than that it would be interesting to have a drink with the remaining members of my favourite band Queen. I'm sure they have some stories to tell. If you could only take three possessions to a desert island, what would they be? A good book, a football and my phone. If you could swap places with someone for the day, who would it be and why? Whoever happens to be Cheryl Cole's boyfriend at this present moment, for the obvious reasons which I am not going to state here! What's your proudest achievement so far? Getting on the radio and managing to stay here (so far!). What would you call your autobiography? |

Here are the first pictures of MSI GeForce GTX 670. The GTX 670 will be NVIDIA's third SKU based on the GK104, and will be positioned to compete with AMD Radeon HD 7950. The card pictured below is nearly identical to a Leadtek-branded one that was pictured last week, which leads us to believe that this could very well be NVIDIA reference design, with just MSI's sticker on. One can deduce, by the location of the two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, that this card also uses a different PCB layout from the one GeForce GTX 680 does. The source also mentions some specifications, some of which we know from older reports, some of which we don't. The card packs 1344 CUDA cores, 112 TMUs, 32 ROPs, a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 2 GB of memory, and clock-speeds of 900 MHz (core base), 1250 MHz actual or 5.00 GHz effective GDDR5 memory. It is predicted that future non-reference designs could come in much shorter PCBs thanks to rather slim VRM requirements, and just 8 memory chips, the GPU package isn't too big, either. Display outputs include two dual-link DVI, and one each of HDMI and DisplayPort. So the ability to set up 3D Vision Surround from one card could remain intact. Lastly, the box mentions "OC Edition", and so the card could come with out of the box overclocked speeds. There's also a juicy typo on that box. Source: MyDrivers
Well its about time! hope this is 5-15% faster than the 7950 and use less power. Gah I looked but couldn't find the typo where is it? I suck at English.
LOL dispaly also it looks like the pcb is wicked short. Hoping this hits at a $350-399 price range and is within 10-15% of the gtx680 this could be my card when the non-reference boards pour in
Probably good news for anyone that buys discrete graphics cards. If the 660 Ti and 670 enter the channel at their rumoured price points then those people who buy AMD can likely look forward to less expensive 7950's and 7870's -esp the non-reference variety.
power in the middle of the card lolz that would colide with most high eng cpu coolers, and what about sli and stuff...
Looks so nice ! The big fan provides low noise. I do not think there is a specific reason for the location of power connectors maybe just some news to show or to give space for the fan.
Pretty much this. I think 660 (gk106) will really force 7870 down though, just as the situation is with gk104 vs Tahiti...it is a game of default performance/clockspeeds. The default clockspeed(s) the nvidia products run make them appear stronger than the ipc behind them. 660 will almost certainly have similar clocks to 680, but using a 192-bit bus and 5ghz memory. This will trump a 7850 at 860mhz all things considered, and appear appealing. Since Pitcairn is the same size as gk106 and 7870 has less total ipc/mem overclockability than even butchered gk104's, the obvious fight for AMD to pick is to position 7870 as a value alt to 660ti and performance alt to 660. 7950 v 670 1792 @ 800mhz = 1344 + 224 @ 914mhz. 50% more bandwidth = ~8% more performance = 914x1.08 = 988mhz expected boost clock: 1ghz Expectation: They will perform very similar, except in scenarios limited by texture/rop/pixel fillrate unit clocks. Overclocked they will be similar all-around or advantage AMD as unlike 7970 vs 680, 7950 is not ROP-limited (or shader over-kill depending on how you look at it) and with similar clockspeeds the greater IPC will become apparent. 7870 v 660ti 1280 @ 1000mhz = 1152 + 192 @ 953mhz 28% more bandwidth = ~4.5% more performance = 953x1.045 = 996mhz expected clocks: same as 670 (1ghz boost/5ghz mem) Expectation: They will perform very similar. 660ti closer to what many expected Pitcairn to be than what it actually was, which really isn't all that different. 7850 vs 660 1024 @ 860mhz = 768 + 192 @ 983mhz 28% more bw = ~4.5% more perf = 983x1.045 = 1027mhz expected clocks: 1.12 boost/5ghz mem Expectation: Between edging out and putting the hurt on 7850 at default clocks depending on game bottleneck (similar to 670 vs 7950). Overclocked the story is murky. Depending on if people care enough to try to get 7850's above 1050mhz, which AMD has tried their hardest to stop, and/or find a card with voltage adjustments (which AMD also doesn't like hence the powertune cap) it could go from a tie to advantage AMD. The obvious response, of course, is this is when AMD shows the real value of Pitcairn and it edges closer to becoming the new Barts.
Odd? There are no odd positions for PCI-E, it can only be positioned where it is. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to fit it on the mobo and inside the case...
Being waiting for that info. The only "problem" with it is why 256-bit & not 512-bit bus? GTX 280 had full 512-bit, albeit GDDR3. And i'd wait for ASUS DirectCU II variant of card. P.S. Just imagine: 2GB GDDR5 512-bit gfx card, beast isn't it?
Yeah the whole 256-bit thing is such a strange thing especially for users who plan to go extreme resolutions.
LOL you do not suck at English ... and it is about time ... which can be shortened to - it's about time ... which answers your rhetorical question ... oh wait

SVN checkout the whole AndyVincentGMod folder then run buildprojects.bat, it's what garry used in his example module, makes it easier to compile across platforms
Ow, thank you. :D I'm going to post two videos to show what it can really do. I've worked 14 hours a day for a whole week on it and had 3 people dedicate a few hours of their time too for helping me fix bugs. Also, here's a sad tip: The grid is the easiest part. [b]Edit[/b]: Your avatar inspired me to make [URL="http://puu.sh/VwoV"]this[/URL].
In terms of binding I screwed the methods the original author put in to do it and just did it myself, its much less clean but works, I got userdata sort of working, except now it crashes whenever you try and do anything. I'm storing the entire actual Database/Query class in each userdata object, I took a look at how BlackAwps is handling it and he's only storing a pointer to the Database/Query, there's a chapter in PIL about that so I'm gonna go read that now then see if I can get it working.

That look really good I'd encourage putting a 120mm fan over the GPUs--from my experience, a fan blowing down over them really helps
I will be checking the temps on them once I get her crunching. I have done that in the past when benching...
I built this beast today, the specs are on the left, took me 2 hours to build with a manual screw driver lol.
lol it's nothing special right now, stock cooling and no cable sleeves as I ran out of money to spend on it
2500k and GTX 680, CPU at 4.6 and GPU Boosts to 1202Mhz not really pushed it as i like how quite it is
Only 2 hours? I always pump up some Grateful Dead, get in the zone and try to milk it for at least 4 or 5. The fresh parts build is one of the only true joys in enthusiast computing, for me at least.
Threw this together last night for the fun of it. The wiring was horrible but will fix later. The CPU's temp sensors are really messed up, one shows like 17 and the other was 33 so I have no clue what the real temps are.
Build I just threw together from old parts for a friend who's pc crapped out on him. 2500K Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 8GB G Skill RipJaws Diamond HD6850 Corsair TX850W Crucial M4 64GB Coming from a q8200, HIS 4670, and 4 gigs or ram I would say this is a decent upgrade.
Hello friends ! I come back today with my new mod in progress based on the CM Storm Scout II Hope you will enjoy ^^
Two things I learned from this: 1. You are a very nice friend to have 2. You have way too many parts laying around Put them to use here: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85784
Well I live in Bangladesh, and my country is poor... so we don't have that many options here. That Thermaltake case was the decent one I could find.
Oh it should be....Brisbane hmmm those temp sensors are just bad no matter the temp I should have read better. Use socket temp and it should be as close as you will get with that chip. Although it should read close to correct under load around 55-60C if my memory serves correct. Which under water should be around 3.2-3.4ghz.
Haha I guess I'm more of a gamer than anything then, although story might have been different if I had some decent cables to play with and a custom loop

Donald Sutherland Movies
Certainly one of the most distinctive looking men ever to be granted the title of movie star,
Donald Sutherland
is an actor defined as much by his almost caricature-like features as his considerable talent. Tall, lanky and bearing perhaps the most enjoyably sinister face this side of
Vincent Price
, Sutherland made a name for himself in some of the most influential films of the 1970s and early '80s.
A native of Canada, Sutherland was born in New Brunswick on July 27, 1934. Raised in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, he took an early interest in the entertainment industry, becoming a radio DJ by the time he was fourteen. While an engineering student at the University of Toronto, he discovered his love for acting and duly decided to pursue theatrical training. An attempt to enroll at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art was thwarted, however, because of his size (6'4") and idiosyncratic looks. Not one to give up, Sutherland began doing British repertory theatre and getting acting stints on television series like The Saint.
In 1964 the actor got his first big break, making his screen debut in the Italian horror film
Il Castello dei Morti Vivi
The Castle of the Living Dead
). His dual role as a young soldier and an old hag was enough to convince various casting directors of a certain kind of versatility, and Sutherland was soon appearing in a number of remarkably schlocky films, including
Dr. Terror's House of Horrors
Die! Die! Darling!
(both 1965). A move into more respectable fare came in 1967, when
Robert Aldrich
cast him as a retarded killer in the highly successful
The Dirty Dozen
. By the early '70s, Sutherland had become something of a bonafide star, thanks to lead roles in films like

Robert Altman
(both 1970). It was his role as Army surgeon Hawkeye Pierce in the latter film that gave the actor particular respect and credibility, and the following year he enhanced his reputation with a portrayal of the titular private detective in
Alan J. Pakula
It was during this period that Sutherland became something of an idol for a younger, counter culture audience, due to both the kind of roles he took and his own anti-war stance. Offscreen, he spent a great deal of time protesting the Vietnam War, and, with the participation of fellow protestor and
Jane Fonda
, made the anti-war documentary
in 1972. He also continued his mainstream Hollywood work, enjoying success with films like
Don't Look Now
The Day of the Locust
(1975), and
Fellini's Casanova
(1976). In 1978, he won a permanent place in the hearts and minds of slackers everywhere with his portrayal of a pot-smoking, metaphysics-spouting college professor in
National Lampoon's Animal House
After a starring role in the critically acclaimed
Ordinary People
(1980), Sutherland entered a relatively unremarkable phase of his career, appearing in one forgettable film after another. This phase continued for much of the decade, and didn't begin to change until 1989, when the actor won raves for his starring role in
A Dry White Season
and his title role in
Bethune: The Making of a Hero
. He spent the 1990s doing steady work in films of widely varying quality, appearing as the informant who cried conspiracy in
(1991), a Van Helsing-type figure in
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
(1992), a wealthy New Yorker who gets taken in by con artist
Will Smith
Six Degrees of Separation
(1993), and a general in the virus thriller
(1995). In 1998, the actor did some of his best work in years (in addition to the made-for-TV
Citizen X
(1995), for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe) when he starred as a track coach in
Without Limits
Robert Towne
's biopic of runner Steve Prefontaine. In 2000, Sutherland enjoyed further critical and commerical success with Space Cowboys, an adventure drama that teamed the actor alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Clint Eastwood, and
James Garner
as geriatric astronauts who get another chance to blast into orbit.
Sutherland didn't pause as the new millennium began, continuing to contribute to several projects a year. He won a Golden Globe for his performance in the 2003 Vietnam era HBO film Path to War, and over the next few years appeared in high-profile films such as The Italian Job, Cold Mountain, and Pride and Prejudice, while continuing to spend time on smaller projects, like 2005's Aurora Borealis. The next year, Sutherland appeared with Mira Sorvino in the TV movie Human Trafficking, which tackled the frightening subject matter of modern day sexual slave trade. He also joined the cast of the new ABC series Commander in Chief, starring Geena Davis as the American vice president who assumes the role of commander in chief when the president dies. Sutherland's role as one of the old boys who is none too pleased to see a woman in the Oval Office earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2006, as did his performance in Human Trafficking.
In 2006, Sutherland worked with Collin Farrell and Salma Hayek in one of screenwriter
Robert Towne
's rare ventures into film direction with Ask the Dust. Sutherland has also earned a different sort of recognition for his real-life role as the father of actor and sometimes tabloid fodder
Kiefer Sutherland
. The elder Sutherland named his son after producer
Warren Kiefer
, who gave him his first big break by casting him in
Il Castello dei Morti Vivi
In 2009 he voiced the part of President Stone in the film Astro Boy, an adventure comedy for children. Sutherland played a supporting role in the action thriller The Mechanic (2011), and joined the cast of The Hunger Games in the role of the coldhearted President Stone. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

The land-mass of the title, of course, refers to Antarctica, and in referencing the finality of it, the directors are referring to its status as the last "unconquered" continent, and the last to be receive full exploration. The crew at the heart of this film - a cadre of scientists, documentarists and boatmen - hit the Antarctic waters in a seabound vessel for 430 days, to evaluate the impact of global warming on the ecosphere. As the voyage unfolds, danger and risk abound; at one point flattening winds surface and threaten to end the lives of all aboard by breaking the ship apart on nearby rocks. Meanwhile, the stated impact of gradual warming on local fauna becomes utterly and readily apparent as the voyagers note that ice floes typically used by seals as a locale to birth calves are now absent, the warm temperatures unable to sustain them. As winter sets in, the film hones in on fabulous, breathtaking marine life thriving beneath the subthermal ice - which provides yet another reflection on the devastation that will occur if the drastic climate change continues to transpire. This film represents an unofficial companion piece to director Jean Lemire's documentary The White Planet, in which he films the environment and its inhabitants in the area ensconcing the South Pole. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days co-stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey re-team on the big screen for this adventurous tale about a treasure-hunting couple whose eight-year quest for the ultimate prize has left them flat broke and fresh out of gas. Ben "Finn" Finnegan (McConaughey) is a treasure hunter who has made it his mission in life to track down the Queen's Dowry -- a legendary collection of 40 chests filled with priceless treasure, and lost at sea in 1715. But in his single-minded quest to track down this sizable booty, Finn has sadly neglected his marriage to his loving wife Tess (Hudson). Tess has grown tired of the hunt, and now she's looking to start her life anew by going to work on the massive yacht of globetrotting billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). But just as Tess begins to relish the freedom on her new, laid-back lifestyle, Finn uses his roughish charm to convince the adventurous baron and his debutante daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena) that the elusive Spanish treasure is finally within reach. Of course no magnate in his right mind would reject the prospect of tracking down the most mythical treasure on the planet, and now as the hapless Tess is forced on yet another wild goose chase, her husband's former mentor Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) and a greedy local gangster (Kevin Hart) up the stakes by joining in on the race. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Don't Look Now director Nicholas Roeg steps back behind the camera for the first time in fifteen years to weave this macabre tale of a young architect who finds her unborn child in danger after moving deep into the Irish countryside. Liffrey (Kelly Reilly) has had enough of the big city, and now she's looking to escape her overbearing boss (Donald Sutherland) by moving to the hills of Ireland with her American boyfriend Richard (Oscar Pearce) and restoring a crumbling cottage. The previous inhabitants of the cottage are the Tuckers, who have since taken up residence at a nearby farm. Mabs Tucker (Miranda Richardson) is mother to three ethereal daughters, though her desire to have a son is evident from the first moment she meets her new neighbors. Something about the Tuckers just doesn't seem right to Liffrey and her suspicious beau, and when Liffrey becomes pregnant the mood around their cottage becomes downright ominous. It seems that Mabs' mother Molly (Rita Tushingham) has been dabbling in magic in order to ensure herself a grandson, and soon it's revealed that eldest daughter Audrey (Leona Igoe) possesses some strange, otherworldly powers. As the word about Liffrey's pregnancy begins to spread, the Tucker women become convinced that the unborn child was actually intended for Mabs, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to claim the baby as their own. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A documentary adaptation of the popular regional theatrical monologue -- in which such heavyweights as Paul Newman, Nathan Lane, and Joe Mantegna essayed the lead on various occasions -- Trumbo recounts the life and times of legendary Hollywood scribe-turned-HUAC scapegoat Dalton Trumbo. As with its source production, the film takes as its base material highly personal, detailed, and emotive letters written by Dalton Trumbo to his son, Christopher; the latter, in turn, molded the missives into a screenplay for this production. Here, however, in lieu of one actor portraying Dalton, a number of celebrities take turns narrating from the script, including Lane, Paul Giamatti, Brian Dennehy, Donald Sutherland, and others. As a visual accompaniment, the film intercuts home-movie footage from the Trumbos' lives; incisive interview material with Trumbo, his family, friends, and collaborators; and haunting glimpses of the HUAC trial hearings with the Hollywood Ten, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; as well as extracts from The Sandpiper, Johnny Got His Gun, Spartacus, and other productions authored by Trumbo. Peter Askin, who helmed the stage play, directs. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A chance run-in with an old college roommate becomes the catalyst for healing in writer/director Mike Binder's tale of friendship and understanding in post-9/11 New York. When the Twin Towers went down on that fateful morning in 2001, Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler) lost everything that he had to live for. Five years have passed since Charlie lost his family, and now the once-successful and sociable man has become a withdrawn shadow of his former self. When fate brings Charlie and his former college roommate Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle) together once again on a Manhattan street corner, Alan is shocked to see just how far his old friend has fallen. Though on the surface it would appear that Alan has it all, the pressures of his family and career have been weighing heavily on the successful dentist and loving father's shoulders as of late. At that pivotal moment when Charlie and Alan both need a trusted friend to help them work through the seemingly insurmountable challenges they face in life, the restorative power of a rekindled friendship provides just the lifeline needed to move forward into the future with hope and optimism.

The wind whispers ominous warnings of death before a malevolent entity arrives to claim the life of a young girl as director Courtney Solomon brings author Brent Monahan's chilling, fact-based story of supernatural murder to the screen in this tale of terror starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. The year is 1818 and the Bell family is a quiet clan residing on a remote farm in Red River, TN. A normal, loving family by all accounts, the uneventful lives of the Bell family begin to take a dark turn when strange noises around the farm are followed by the arrival of a black wolf with piercing yellow eyes said to strike unspeakable fear into the very soul of all who encounter it. As the sadistic spirit singles out the youngest daughter of the Bell family for torment and her frightened parents search frantically for a rational explanation to the chilling events unfolding in their once-happy home, an eerie, disembodied voice promises death from beyond the grave. With the struggle rapidly turning violent and the Bells' desperate prayers for mercy going unanswered time and again, the shocking murder that followed would prove the only case in recorded American history where the death of a human being was directly attributed to an attack by an evil entity or spirit. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Actor-turned-director and producer Griffin Dunne (Practical Magic, Addicted to Love) teams up with scenarist Dirk Wittenborn for the slice-of-life ensemble drama Fierce People. As summer encroaches, 16-year-old Manhattanite Finn Earl (Anton Yelchin) would love nothing more than to trek off to South America and spend the year's sun-drenched months near the equator, embarking on thrilling adventures with his estranged archaeologist father, whom he's never met. Alas, the bonds of family rein in tight when Finn's booze- and coke-addled mother, the masseuse Liz (Diane Lane), cries out for help -- and, in the process, unwittingly gets Finn arrested. In a dramatic attempt to reverse circumstances and sort out the complications in both of their lives, Liz insists on taking custody of Finn for the summer. Both, she insists, will live in the home of one of her former massage clients, the aging billionaire Ogden C. Osborne (Donald Sutherland) -- with whom she may be amorously involved. Though Finn agrees begrudgingly at first, in time he finds the environment welcoming -- as he develops a crush on Ogden's gorgeous granddaughter (Kristen Stewart) and befriends Ogden's grandson. But when an unforeseen and shocking act of violence erupts, it estranges Finn and Liz from their posh surroundings and provides a sobering, harrowing reminder of the socioeconomic differences between the Earls and their new friends. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Commander in Chief [TV Series]
Rumor has it that this weekly, hour-long ABC series about America's first woman president was conceived in anticipation of Hillary Rodham Clinton's likely 2008 presidential bid. Whatever the case, Geena Davis starred as Mackenzie Allen, the politically unaffiliated vice president of popular conservative chief executive Teddy Bridges (Will Lyman). When Bridges fell mortally ill, his party did everything it could to persuade Mackenzie to step down and allow powerful Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton (Donald Sutherland) to assume the Presidency. But our heroine was not about to place the country in the hands of a vengeful, duplicitous sexist like Templeton, and thus upon Bridges' death she dutifully took charge of the Oval Office -- even though she had never had any burning political ambitions at any time of her life. Working hand in glove with her chief of staff (and also her husband!), Rod Allen (Kyle Secor), Allen's second in command, Jim Gardner (Harry Lennix), and Press Secretary Kelly Ludlow (Ever Carradine), the plucky Mackenzie managed to navigate the treacherous waters of the Potomac -- and along the way, she continually surprised both sides of the political spectrum by relying upon her own judgment, rather than pay homage to party pressure, polls, or political correctness. Also in the cast were Jasmine Anthony as Mackenzie's six-year-old daughter, Amy, and Matt Lanter and Caitlin Wachs as her teenaged twin offspring, Horace and Rebecca. Created by Rod Lurie of The Contender fame, Commander in Chief took the oath of office on September 27, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jane Austen's perennially popular story of the game of love among the British upper classes returns to the screen in this polished film adaptation. The Bennets (Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland) are the parents of five daughters near the close of the 18th century. Comfortable within their means but well short of rich, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are looking for suitable husbands for their girls, and they are encouraged to learn that an eligible young bachelor from a wealthy family, Charles Bingley (Simon Woods), has moved into a nearby estate. Eager to see if a match can be made, the Bennets bring their daughters Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and Jane (Rosamund Pike) to a ball thrown by their new neighbor to see if sparks will fly. Jane seems to like Charles, and he appears to feel the same, but Elizabeth takes an immediate dislike to Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), Charles' egocentric best friend. While Elizabeth is infatuated with military man Lt. Wickham (Rupert Friend) and finds herself courted by William Collins (Tom Hollander), a well-meaning but drab man of the cloth, fate causes Elizabeth and Darcy to frequently cross paths, and while they don't care for one another, they can't stop thinking about each other, either. Pride & Prejudice also stars Jena Malone, Judi Dench, and Penelope Wilton. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In Brief
- The space shuttle Endeavour lifts off on April 29 for its final mission: to deliver a $1.5 billion cosmic-ray detector to the International Space Station.
- Designed to measure highly energetic particles through whizz through space, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer will look for signs of dark matter and galaxies made of antimatter.
- The instrument is the first with the ability to measure all the key properties of a particle and thereby discriminate mundane particles such as protons from more exotic ones such as antielectrons.
More In This Article
The world's most advanced cosmic-ray detector took 16 years and $2 billion to build, and not long ago it looked as though it would wind up mothballed in some warehouse. NASA, directed to finish building the space station and retire the space shuttle by the end of 2010, said it simply did not have room in its schedule to launch the instrument anymore. Saving it took a lobbying campaign by physicists and intervention by Congress to extend the shuttle program. And so the shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to take off on April 19 for the express purpose of delivering the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to the International Space Station.
Cosmic rays are subatomic particles and atomic nuclei that zip and zap through space, coming from ordinary stars, supernovae explosions, neutron stars, black holes and who knows what—the last category naturally being of greatest interest and the main impetus for a brand-new instrument. Dark matter is one of those possible mystery sources. Clumps of the stuff out in space might occasionally release blazes of particles that would set the detectors alight. Some physicists also speculate that our planet might be peppered with the odd antiatom coming from distant galaxies made not of matter but of its evil antitwin.

Long before Nevin Shapiro gained infamy as a rogue University of Miami booster and Ponzi schemer, he was a regular kid growing up on Miami Beach.
His best friend was Marc Levinson, and together they played on the same soccer team, hung out at each others houses and formed a rat pack of friends at Miami Beach Senior High.
By 2003, Levinson, who by then was an attorney with the major Miami law firm Shook, Hardy & Bacon, started advising his buddy on Shapiros $1.5 million investment in a Florida sports agency.
A decade later, Levinson and the law firm now find themselves accused in a lawsuit of aiding and abetting Shapiros violations of federal securities laws during his $930 million investment scam, as well as his violations of NCAA regulations involving his alleged cash payments to UM star athletes.
The bankruptcy trustee for Shapiros former company, Capitol Investments USA, has sued Levinson and the 500-lawyer firm in a bid to recover some of the $110 million lost by victims fleeced by the convicted Miami Beach businessman. The 43-year-old Shapiro, who was charged with and pleaded guilty to securities fraud in 2010, is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence.
Shook, Hardy & Bacon, a Kansas City, Mo.-based law firm that retained a Miami attorney to represent itself and Levinson, issued a statement saying it was disappointed over the legal fight with the bankruptcy trustee. Coincidentally, the suit was assigned to U.S. District Judge Jose Martinez, who once worked as a civil defense attorney alongside Shook, Hardy & Bacons lawyers representing Big Tobacco companies against a massive Florida smokers class-action case. Martinez recused himself from the case Friday.
We will diligently defend ourselves in this case, and will continue our commitment to resolve any issues that arise in a reasonable, judicious and professional manner, the statement said. It added: Nevin Shapiro deceived many people, including those closest to him, and is serving a prison sentence for his reprehensible conduct.
Since Miami attorney Joel Tabas became the trustee for Shapiros bankrupt business in November 2009, his legal team has recovered $35 million from various parties and redistributed $13 million so far to about 40 victims. More distributions are planned this year. For its work, Tabas law firm gets to keep about $11.5 million of the total take.
Among Tabas previous claw backs with links to the Shook, Hardy & Bacon case:
• $400,000 in legal fees recovered from Shapiros former criminal defense attorneys, Guy Lewis and Michael Tein, who also received Shapiros Riviera sport-fishing yacht as part of their legal payments;
• $19,000 recovered from Miami attorney Paul Calli. Calli agreed in a settlement to pay back the money, which he had borrowed from Shapiro in June 2009 before the Ponzi schemer went to prison the following year, according to the bankruptcy case. Calli declined to comment;
• $900,000 from South Florida sports handicapper Adam Meyer, who had sold game picks to Shapiro and placed some bets for him in Las Vegas.
Shapiro had a serious gambling problem, betting millions of dollars on college and pro football games, while his business of brokering groceries nationwide spun out of control, according to court records.

After the upgrade, I am getting intermittent loss of video (monitor shows "No signal" and goes black). If I go back to the 256mb configuration, the video runs normally. I have run the "extended test suite" of Microsoft's Windows Memory Diagnostic tool on the new memory overnight, and it shows no memory errors after 11 full passes, so I think the memory is ok. I have tried running both 6.6 (6.13.01.3004) and 6.7 (6.13.01.3196) Intel graphics drivers. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem and how to fix it? TIA for the help.

For an Indian tourist seeking a summer holiday escape, the neighboring landlocked kingdom of Bhutan -- nestled in the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas -- assures easy accessibility to happiness.
And it's not just because of the lack of a need for a visa, the acceptance of the Indian rupee as legal tender and the forthcoming discounts at shops in Paro and Thimphu. But the sheer tranquility offered by the rich biodiversity hotspot (home to 770 bird species and 5,400 species of plants) helps to gain mental equilibrium. The ecoregion, dotted with chortens, dzongs, monasteries and lhakhangs, really lives up to the international acclaim for its high gross national happiness.

NOT READY FOR A CLOSEUP: What happens when an animal that needs saving isn't as cute as a tiger cub? Some biologists explain why human aesthetic preference has played such a big role in protecting the panda--over stranger species like this one, the helmeted hornbill.

10 Ugly Animals That Need Help, Too
The Best Science Writing Online 2012

The bulbous purple burrowing frog may not have made it onto any awww-inspiring tote bags like the unequivocally adorable giant panda. But, an increasing number of people are arguing, the humble frog—and other more homely creatures—is at least equally worth rescuing from the brink of extinction.
One of those people is Nathan Yaussy, an ecology graduate student at Kent State University in Ohio and the creator of the EUT—Endangered Ugly Things blog (recently profiled in The Washington Post). "My goal is just to let people know that these things are out there, and they're just as important as the panda," he says.
[Slide Show: 10 Ugly Animals That Need Help, Too]
A handful of animals that are easier on the eye than, say, the aye-aye, have gotten the lion's share of publicity, funds and legislation for their salvation. Many so-called "charismatic megafauna," which conservationists select as mascots—or "poster children", are chosen for their looks rather than their ecological importance, notes biologist David Stokes of the University of Washington in Bothell.
"If we could raise the ecological literacy of the public and our officials to see beyond the surface value of these animals to their ecological or even utilitarian role," Stokes says, "that would be really valuable." Many endangered insects may actually be more ecologically "important" than an affable Galápagos penguin. But biologists, he notes, often neglect to take preference into account.
Certainly looks can be a matter of personal preference, but the surefire way that an animal finds its way into the public's collective heart seems to be by having infantile qualities—big eyes, round face, wobbly gait (a phenomenon called neoteny). But, as Stokes found from his research [pdf], no hard-and-fast rule dictates which animals gain wide appeal: "Really tiny differences among species can have huge effects on how much appeal they have," he says. He studied a range of penguin species and found that those with patches of bright color received by far and away the most visual coverage.

This & That
Yeah. Classes are getting super stressful. So "This & That" is new solution for me to keep up with blogging during these hectic weeks ahead. It's simply two snapshots of my life right this minute.
This: a crochet teacup assembly line
That: reading, writing, studying and analyzing until my eyes start doing that weird involuntary twitching thing...
Time to get back to class! I hope everyone else is having a great day! If you want to give "This & That" a try, please do, and link back here. :-)

Check out her other creations here and watch this video that shows her intricate crochet work up close.

DallasMADE - Weekend Trip to The Dallas Flea
I had such a great time at The Dallas Flea on Saturday! I wish it was there every week! This year I discovered so many wonderful artists and became even more aware of the amazing talent in this city.
One of my favorite finds of the day was f. is for frank. I am in awe of all of their gorgeous and architectural pieces of jewelry. I even spoke to one of the designers and I might get to do a tour of their local studio for an upcoming DallasMADE post. Fun!
I really loved Modest Ambition's booth filled with her colorful crochet creations. Aren't her baby ponchos and rose clips completely adorable?
The coolest part about this year's Flea was the mobile shops parked right outside the event. I was really proud of Dallas for being so "with it" and keeping up with the mobile shop trend. ;-)
I checked out the Vintage Mobile, stuffed with racks and racks of pretty vintage clothes.
The line to grab a bite from Ruthie's Rolling Cafe was so long that I didn't even attempt to tackle it. However, I was more than happy to snap a picture of this pepto-pink food truck!
Last, but certainly not least, I was so happy to see the Dowdy Studio Wagon out in all of its glory. I really love this new trend of mobile vintage and handmade shops. Maybe one day there will be a craft show in a parking lot with all kinds of colorful trailers and trucks peddling their wares. Wait...does this already exist?!
My only purchase of the day was this adorable birthday card from Blue Eye Brown Eye for my best friend's 21st birthday. "Happy Birthday Dear!" ;-)I'm glad so many of you are enjoying this new series. It makes me happy to show off (and learn to appreciate) my city. Dallas has so much to offer the handmade community...and I'm just getting started! :-)
Did you go to The Dallas Flea this weekend? What are some of your favorite craft shows in your town?

Weekend Plans - 9/23 - 9/25
Here are my plans...
1. I'm super excited to go shopping at the Dallas Flea tomorrow. I hope I find some great handmade items! I will be snapping lots of pictures for another DallasMADE post too!
2. Re-reading my favorite craft business books, The Handmade Marketplace and Crafty Superstar. They both have a lot of great tips on being a first time seller at a craft fair. My mom has already looked through them and made some notes, but I really need to sit down and do the same!
3. Add these cute little bookplates to my book collection. It's like having my own library! :)
4. Bows, bows, bows. Always making bows.
For now, I'm just going to kick back with some yarn and reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. (Come on...I know you watch them too. They are ALWAYS on. It's very comforting. Haha!)
What are your plans for the weekend? Are fall craft shows popping up around your town too? You should definitely go!

New Feature // DallasMADE - We Are 1976 Shop Tour
I'm excited to introduce a new feature on the blog - DallasMADE. Every week I will step outside of my box and share my discoveries as I explore the Dallas handmade community. Now, we all know I have my issues with Texas...currently the weather and I aren't on speaking terms. Sometimes I feel that life in Dallas gets me in the creative doldrums, especially when I compare it to this vibrant online community. I always forget to seek the wonderful handmade community right outside of my door. There truly is an abundance of creativity in this city. Ok, enough rambling. I'm happy to share with you one of my favorite shops in Dallas, We Are 1976.
The shop is filled to the brim with fun, colorful, and unique design pieces. The shop owners, Vynsie, Jully, and Derek Law decided to open up shop here in Dallas after traveling around the world. Derek told me they came here so they could show people in Dallas the creative community lifestyle. All I can say is...THANK YOU.
We Are 1976 features a lot of art and handmade items by local artists, such as...
...these sculptural balloons by Jason Cohen...
...a pair of unusual "Glock" lamps by Tony Barsotti...
...and fun wooden clocks by Dowdy Studio.
The shop is also an amazing art gallery, lined with some of the most beautiful illustrations and photographs I've ever seen. They host gallery openings and artist receptions throughout the year. This Friday, Sept. 23, they are hosting the Fallout Gallery Opening, their first show of the season.
We are 1976 is definitely a colorful and somewhat cluttered little place, but that's just the way I like it. I think it makes shopping more fun when I have to search through items I may have never looked at and discover something unexpected. Let's just say I could stay in this store for hours...
Just look at that lamp?! So perfect.
I definitely found more than a few things to put on my wish list. I love this decorative tape by the ever-so-talented, cat lady, and illustrator extraordinaire, Gemma Corell.
As if I need another reason to sip tea, but these MyCuppa Tea mugs would help me achieve the perfect cup with its color matching guides. I'll take it Classic British, please. ;-)
Along with the rotating workshops taught by local artists, We Are 1976 is a perfect ten in my eyes. Derek also said they opened their shop because they wanted to have something that inspires people to be creative. Mission accomplished. I'll definitely be back for more.
Have any of my Dallas friends visited this shop yet? What are some of your other favorite shops in Dallas that sell unique and handmade goods? If you don't live in Texas, do you have similar places to explore in your own town? I'd love to hear all about it!

50 Crochet Bows for Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash
It's that time of year again...time to make 50 giveaway items for the Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash. At each of their shows they have 50 "bash bags" filled to the brim with handmade goodies from each of the artists. They are handed out to the first 50 people in line and are always extremely popular. I decided to do something different for this show and make 50 of my crochet bows instead of the knit hearts that seemed to take me forever to finish in the Spring... ;-)
All 50 bows are due by October 31! Yikes! I need to turn into a bow making machine over here...
Last Spring, I made 50 hearts for the bash bags, but I didn't have a booth. I was just a volunteer and helped my team set up for the day. So, since this is my first craft show as a seller, I'm getting pretty nervous. Today it is officially only TWO MONTHS away. Wow. It seems so close. I've been working really hard on my inventory and researching ways to make my booth look pretty. I will definitely blog more about my progress as the Bash get closer.
*If you can't come to the Jingle Bash on Nov. 19 you can always snag one of these bows in my Etsy shop!

The Blush List - A Walk in the Garden
Dreaming of tea, cozy knits, floral prints, and sweet treats for a perfect day in the garden.
Knitting // Tiny pompom candy via Tiny Toadstool
Etsy // Grey floral dishtowel via Lisa Rupp
Style // I love this floral, asymmetrical skirt, found via Bekleidet
Food // Lemon yogurt anything cake via Smitten Kitchen
I love starting my week by gathering all of these pretty things. It allows me to daydream a little bit beyond my small reality.
Now I'm just finishing up a paper, packing up some orders, and doing a little reading for class. (Jane Eyre - I've never read it before and I absolutely love it!)
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! What did you do? :-)

Elvis had a pink Cadillac, and for no other reason so must Elvis impersonator Steve Elliot.
Elliot - who has performed his tribute act to the king of rock 'n' roll at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In for the past six years - will be more than happy to show off his pride and joy at Saturday's car show. Elliot, known as Elvis Elite, will have his new wheels parked near the main stage.
He's unsure whether the bright pink car or his matching outfit will be more eye-catching. Either way, though, he's confident both will stand out in the crowd of 1,700-plus vintage, classic, muscle, and custom cars and upwards of 100,000 people expected to fill the streets of downtown Langley.
He purchased the 23-foot-long, 1966 pink Cadillac Coupe Deville in June, swapping out a 1956 Ford shortbox.
"It's more Elvis," plain and simple, said the Chilliwack resident, who jokes that Langley is his home away from home given the number of shows he performs here each year - the Cruise-In one of his all-time favourites.
"I've always loved stuff from the '50s and '60s," and his car is just one more object of that affection.
The vehicle was used in the 1990s filming of a Blues Brothers movie, and at the time boasted a hunter green exterior with matching lighter green interior.
The exterior was painted out pink almost a decade ago now, but when Elliot bought the Caddy in Abbotsford earlier this summer, the inside still needed to be transformed.
Like Elvis' Caddy, this one needed to retrofitted in black, Elliot insisted.
"I've done nothing for two months, except this," he said.
"I'm not mechanically inclined at all." But he is an artist, and painting and detailing the inside was a project made for him.
"It was great to watch it come to life," Elliot said, proud of the job he did swapping out the green and adding bobble head dolls and a lot of bling.
While Elliot has been driving the car around and happily showing it off since he acquired it, Cruise-In will be the first time the completed product will be part of his show.
He describes it as the perfect advertising vehicle for what he does, noting just the other day a trucker pulled him over on the highway and hired him to perform at his mother's wedding - all because of the car.
Most entertainers might be spending their spare time leading up to a big show like Cruise-In rehearsing. But not Elliot. He admits he's devoting much of his time this week to buffing up the car and getting it ready for its reveal.
He's confident fans of the King, along with Elite followers, will all be anxious to see his new car and have their pictures taken standing by or sitting in the classic vehicle.
"They expect us every year," Elliot said, the car is just an extra bonus.
His Caddy will be located next to the main stage at Saturday's car show, near Fraser Highway and 56th Avenue. And Elvis Elite is on stage at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Five Guys Burgers & Fries is set to open Tuesday, July 31 in Brea. This will be the second Five Guys to open in Orange County next week. On Monday, July 30, Five Guys is opening a new restaurant in Mission Viejo.
The Mission Viejo restaurant is at the Alicia Towne Plaza at 24391 Alicia Parkway. That opening comes after a long construction period that had many residents wondering if the East Coast burger chain would ever open.
The restaurant is run by franchisee Tom Horton, who operates a handful of Five Guys in Orange County.
The Brea Five Guys is owned by franchisee Phil Ratner, who opened the first Five Guys in Orange County two years ago. The Brea restaurant is at 403 W. Imperial Hwy, one block east of Brea Blvd.
Ratner and Horton own the rights to open dozens of Five Guys restaurants in Orange and Los Angeles counties.
The chain is expanding rapidly under franchisees. Ratner plans to open another Five Guys in Cypress, at Katella and Knott, later this year. Next year, he'll open a Five Guys in Torrance at Hawthorne and Lomita.
Virginia-based Five Guys chain is often compared to In-N-Out Burger because it has a fanatical following in the East Coast. However, Five Guys is different than In-N-Out — from pricing to menu options. First off, Five Guys offers counter-service only — no drive-throughs for car-eating obsessed Southern California drivers.
Five Guys' hand-pressed burgers can also be ordered with a wide range of toppings ranging from green peppers to A-1 sauce. The chain also sells hot dogs.
Tell us: Do you like Five Guys? Are you happy they are adding locations all over Orange County?

Libya: Opposition forces stormed Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's residence at the Bab al-Aziziya compound after hours of intense fighting. The opposition achieved additional military gains in the east and took control of the port of Ras Lanuf, pushing Gaddafi's supporters to the outskirts of Bin Jawad. However, in a surprising move, Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi, who was reportedly arrested two days ago, appeared in front of the media last night affirming that his father and his family are in Tripoli. NATO is continuously bombing the Bab al-Aziziya compound in the hopes of forcing Gaddafi and his family out of hiding.
Syria: The UN Human Rights Council adopted a draft resolution calling for the formation of an independent committee to investigate human rights violations in Syria. The draft resolution was proposed by the US, the EU, and the four Arab countries at the council (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Kuwait). Russia, China, and Cuba opposed the resolution. On the ground, a UN team has arrived in the city of Idlib. The visit coincided with a protest rally that was held on city streets demanding the downfall of the regime.
Bahrain: Rights groups have condemned the Bahraini regime and state-linked firms for unlawfully terminating 2,500 Bahraini employees for participating in nation-wide protests against the ruling Al Khalifa dynasty. The state employees were dismissed from their jobs on Tuesday. Meanwhile, 40 people detained in connection with anti-regime protests have been formally charged after spending several months in custody. The charges include "illegal assembly" and "trying to distort Bahrain's image."

Financial Management Specialist Program
In 1998, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer created the Financial Management Specialist (FMS) Program to infuse GSA's financial management community with multi-disciplined professional talent to maintain its core financial expertise. The FMS Program is dedicated to achieving a diversified workforce of financial management professionals to serve GSA's financial organizations. Through an aggressive on-campus recruiting effort at Mid-Atlantic Colleges and Universities, the FMS program strives to attract a wide variety of recent graduates who embody the values of GSA and ultimately add to GSA's ability to meet its strategic goals.
Program Details
The FMS recent graduates start their career at GSA by attending an orientation called "Career 101," a three to four week period designed to help the transition from college to work. They have the opportunity to learn about GSA's financial community, meet GSA's key leaders, hear from program graduates, participate in career enhancing team-building activities, and attend a myriad of informational and professional development seminars.
Following the orientation, and for the next two years, the recent graduates participate in seven, 3-month rotational assignments throughout each of GSA's organizations (OCFO, PBS, and FAS) and its business lines to gain exposure to a variety of financial environments. Rotational assignments provide opportunities to learn GSA's accounting system, run financial reports, perform financial analysis of business line data, assist with the development of GSA's Annual Budget, and review performance measure data.
The FMS Program also consists of formal classroom training that provides each employee with a Federal Management Program Certificate in Accounting, Budgeting, and Financial Management, making them eligible to enroll in the Certified Government Financial Manager's Program, a credential recognized government-wide.
Program Goal
At the end of the two-year program, the goal of the FMS Program is to convert recent graduates to permanent positions within GSA's financial organizations. Experienced senior-level professionals are available to provide coaching and mentoring concerning professional career goals and objectives, encourage career development, nurture personal and professional growth, and to serve as effective tutors, counselors, and guidance "confidants" throughout each person's career at GSA. The Office of the CFO, PBS, and FAS have all placed FMS graduates in their financial organizations enhancing their ability to meet increasing workloads and customer demands.
