The Placer County Board of Supervisors, sitting as the County Redevelopment Agency Board, on Tuesday approved a Five-Year Implementation Plan for the North Lake Tahoe Redevelopment Area. The Board voted 5-0 to approve the Plan after a public hearing.
As required by state law, the Placer County Redevelopment Agency must adopt implementation plans for redevelopment areas every five years. The Plan addressed by the Board today will be valid into 2016. The Plan includes information on goals, proposed programs, affordable housing, projects and expenditures and explains how the Plan will alleviate blight. The Board's approval of the Plan will give the Agency general direction, but does not authorize any specific projects.
The North Lake Tahoe Project Area is 1,731-acres and includes the Tahoe City/Tahoe Gateway, Lake Forest, Kings Beach, Tahoe Vista and Stateline communities. Several existing residential areas within these communities are not within the Project Area boundaries; however, the majority of the commercial corridors fall within the Area's boundaries. All of the North Lake Tahoe Redevelopment Project Area lies within the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) jurisdiction. The areas include:
The Plan has five elements: Elimination of Blight; Improvement of the Environment; Community Redevelopment; Improvement of Public Infrastructure; and Increasing Housing Opportunities.
Some of the Plan's accomplishments include:
The Plan attempts to consolidate small and irregular lots, and improve deteriorated properties and public facilities to eliminate blight. With parking limitations in commercial core areas of the North Shore, the Plan also is working on increasing parking.
An important part of the Plan is to build new and improve existing housing to increase affordable housing. The Domus Scattered Sites Affordable Housing Development in Kings Beach will construct 77 units at five sites and is under construction.
Future and ongoing projects in the Redevelopment area that the Redevelopment Agency is involved in include:
The BOS also directed that RDA staff return with a more specific list of near- and long-term priorities for the next Supervisors' meeting in Tahoe, tentatively scheduled for July 25 and 26.

Steamboat Springs After a storm that dropped 6 to 7 inches of snow in Steamboat Springs and 11 inches at midmountain at Steamboat Ski Area, the skies cleared Christmas morning over Routt County.
But the sunny skies won't last long as another storm is forecast to move into Northwest Colorado on Wednesday.
The trough of low pressure should move from west to east across the state, said Matthew Aleksa, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, which issued a hazardous weather outlook and a winter weather advisory.
The Christmas storm that brought widespread snowfall across the state followed a similar track, and Steamboat was one of the greater beneficiaries.
The system that arrives Wednesday is forecast to be a prolonged storm but bring less overall snowfall.
"It's a big system," Aleksa said. "It lingers for a while. It's kind of slow moving."
The mountains could see snowfall continuing into Friday morning, Aleksa said, but the longer duration should result in periods of lighter snowfall starting Wednesday afternoon.
Six to 12 inches are predicted for the mountains around Steamboat. In the valley, the storm could bring about 3 to 6 inches from Wednesday into Thursday night.
Steamboat-based meteorologist Mike Weissbluth wrote in an email that he predicts "significant dry and light accumulations through this period, especially late Thursday."
Looking into next week, Aleksa said there's a system dropping out of the Gulf of Alaska, but the forecast models are not in agreement about where it's headed or whether it will move far enough north to affect Steamboat.
Joel Gratz, of www.opensnow.com, predicts a storm moving up from the southwest Monday could affect the San Juans.
For those in Routt County looking to enjoy the holiday snow, avalanche danger has been moved back up to "considerable" for the Steamboat Zone.
A Colorado Avalanche Information Center avalanche discussion states that the low-density powder from the recent storm is sitting on "small surface hoar and near surface" facets.
Human-triggered avalanches are possible on slopes steeper than 35 degrees, and natural avalanches are possible.
Also a concern in the backcountry are persistent slabs, where snowfall from multiple storms has accumulated on top of weak snow from November, according the the Avalanche Information Center discussion.
Avalanches triggered in shallow areas above the treeline could break into deeper snow that has not slid this season.
Avalanche danger scale

Our posts didn't capture the entire Jingzhou but somehow we were already screaming it's been captured even prior to the fall of Xiangyang. Your post specifically said Xinye, which is north of Xiangyang, whereas Jiangling is southeastern of Xiangyang and if I remember correctly, Jiangxia is at the east side.
So yes, conquering Xiangyang opens the way to these two cities and puts them under high risk. But seeing how Xiangyang has been freshly conquered, it does makes sense that Jiangling and Jiangxia are still safe. Unless you actually meant that the Xiwu army went on a round-about way... capturing the cities surrounding Xiangyang before going there... but I didn't get the sense of that.
Besides, it is impossible to capture Jingzhou since Donghai did not own all of it.

There are different types of bronchitis such as:
- Acute bronchitis—This is a sudden onset of symptoms. It only lasts a short time and lung function is fully recovered.
- Chronic bronchitis —This is a serious, long-term condition. It causes blockage and damage of the lungs. It is often the result of many years of cigarette smoking.
This fact sheet focuses on acute bronchitis.

Tuesday, 07/09/2010
Kick off 19:45 BST at St Jakob Park, Basel
Switzerland - Shaqiri 71'
England - Rooney 10' Adam Johnson 69' Bent 88'
Brought to you by The FA
88'Darren Bent. The two goal cushion is restored! Ashley Cole slips a pass to Bent in the area and he confidently drills a low shot into the bottom corner to surely seal the three points.
86'A great chance for England, as Wright-Phillips breaks clear on the right in acres of space. Bent is waiting for the ball in the area, but Wright-Phillips gets his pass woefully wrong and a Swiss defender is allowed to clear.
83'Off, Pirmin Schwegler. On, Moreno Costanzo.
81'Stephane Grichting. The Swiss defender is booked for dissent, after earlier fouling Adam Johnson.
79'Off, Wayne Rooney. On, Shaun Wright-Phillips.
77'Inler strikes a shot wide from 25 yards, after Hart had punched a ball clear from inside the box.
76'Ashley Cole. The England man is booked for a foul on the lively Shaqiri.
71'Xherdan Shaqiri. Switzerland get themselves back in the game, and what a goal! Substitute Xherdan Shaqiri smashes a shot from 25 yards into the top corner.
70'Off, Jermain Defoe. On, Darren Bent. The England striker is carried off, after picking up a knock on the half way line.
69'Adam Johnson. It's 2-0! A good move from the Three Lions sees Rooney find Gerrard and his chipped pass over the top sees Johnson beat the offside trap, sidestep Benaglio and slot home.
65'Stephan Lichtsteiner. The Swiss right-back receives a second caution for a foul on Milner.
64'Off, David Degen. On, Marco Streller.
63'Switzerland find some momentum. Frei breaks into the box and his centre is desperately cleared by Gerrard in the box.
62'Hart has a couple of nervy moments, first spilling a cross, then mis-kicking a back pass before fumbling another ball into the box. The Swiss crowd are finding their voice.
60'James Milner. The England man is cautioned for pulling back Lichtsteiner. His second booking in two games, so he will now serve a suspension next month against Montenegro.
59'Glen Johnson fizzes a shot at goal with his left-foot and Benaglio makes a good save at the expense of a corner.
57'Stephan Lichtsteiner. The Swiss defender is booked for dissent.
55'James Milner crosses from the left for Defoe, who shoots over under pressure from a defender. It wouldn't have counted anyway though, as an offside flag was raised.
52'Gokhan Inler hits a looping shot at goal, which dips just over Joe Hart's bar.
47'Rooney flights a ball across the area for Adam Johnson, whose volley is just wide of the near post.
46'England kick-off the second half.
46'Off, Xavier Margairaz. On, Xherdan Shaqiri.
45'A strong run from Adam Johnson sets Rooney up in the box. He is forced wide and crosses from the left, but Defoe just couldn't climb high enough to head home from close range.
43'Benaglio makes a smart save to keep Defoe's shot out, after he collected a pass from Rooney in the box.
38'Swiss captain Alex Frei takes the free-kick, which picks out David Degen at the far post. Fortunately for England, his shot goes high and wide of the bar.
37'Gareth Barry gives a free-kick away on the left. Dangerous position for the Swiss.
36'Adam Johnson hits a fierce shot from 25 yards with his left-foot, which goes narrowly wide of the target.
31'Rooney shoots high over the bar from 30 yards.
28'Ashley Cole drives a ball into the area, which rolls just behind Defoe as England continue to press.
26'A through ball from Rooney is chased by Defoe into the box, but 'keeper Diego Benaglio is out quickly to collect.
21'A fine turn from Adam Johnson sees him skin Reto Ziegler down the right. He cuts the ball back to Defoe, but his shot flies wide.
18'A sweeping ball into the box from Steven Gerrard picks out Defoe in space in the area, but the striker just fails to control it and the chance is gone.
13'Off, Theo Walcott. On, Adam Johnson. Unfortunately for England, Walcott picked up an injury in the goal and is stretchered off with what looked to be an ankle injury. Adam Johnson is on to replace him.
10'Wayne Rooney. England are ahead and it's Rooney on the mark. Great work on the right between Theo Walcott and Glen Johnson saw the latter cross for Rooney and he side-footed home from seven yards.
04'An early cross from Wayne Rooney on the left drifts just wide of the post. Just prior, Phil Jagielka had chipped a cross to the far post but it was just too high for Jermain Defoe.
KOIt's the hosts who get us kicked-off in Basel.

Larger LED backlit screen, quad-core goodness. The price isn't bad either. Check it out. Apple - iMac - The ultimate all-in-one desktop computer.
For $2k base model. Not bad at all. I see they give you choices on RAM, CPU and HD. However no choice on GFX... As for the mouse, they converted a touch-pad in to a mouse basically. Overall definitely a good work horse.
Looks pretty much like the last generation really. Other than faster components and the LEDs in the display, anything major new? Do the LEDs do localized dimming for better contrast?
Seriously, every mac mouse I have ever used has been a steaming pile of shit. This new one looks pretty awesome with the touch technology and everything.
Legacy Mac users flipped when they got rid of it on the MacBook. The iMac is big enough that it's not wasting necessary space and it's still useful for Target Disk Mode if and when your Mac craps out. The fact that the Mini DisplayPort on the 27" can be used as an input is freaking awesome. Also, I'm going to need a new mouse.
I totally didn't see the mouse, color me impressed. Like I am interested in getting one. I love the trackpad features on my Macbook (pre-trackpad upgrade, so it lacks swipe) but those are natural to me. Imagine having that on my mouse too. I was just lamenting how crappy pc notebook trackpads suck in comparison, now mouses do to. Two of my friends just bit the bullet on the new 27" i7 iMacs. One has been sitting on an original 20" Core Duo iMac and didn't want to upgrade because lack of matte finish screens. Well this one had everything else making it worth the upgrade. That being an LED IPS panel, a proper video card option, and a desktop CPU. My other friend has an older i7 machine already, but this new iMac would actually be an upgrade for him. Exciting times, glad apple is really pushing the bar imo.
Yeah, by releasing hardware (core i7, ati 4850) that is over 1 year old. Yeah the mouse is awesome but pushing the bar? I donno, that's a bit much.
Lets be fair Ali. It's an pretty damn nice "all in one" (not a desktop). Regardless of what brand is stamped on it.
Uhh, yeah, no... learn to Google. Intel Lynnfield Core i5 and i7 Processors: Nehalem Superpowers Cheaper Than Ever - Lynnfield core i5 - Gizmodo They just came out in September. Granted the video card could have been something like 5770 or whatever. But for an all in one machine, that is more than adequate. Show me a i5/i7 27" or even smaller AIO computer not from Apple?
Alright dude, didn't mean to get your panties up in a bunch. Apple rocks my socks and I will forever suck the nipple of Steve Jobs dying tit.
I don't care that you don't like it, but you were wrong about the cpu's being a year old tech. That is all.
Fair enough. I am just so fucking tried of having to spend so long replacing any part on a mac laptop or iMac desktop when their PC counterparts take a fraction of the time. My mac anger stems from this. We are finally starting to charge more in labor for mac repairs now.
iMac is not a desktop. .. and laptops are always troublesome. When you cram so much shit into a tight spot, it's always gonna be hard on the service guys. Ask any automotive tech.
I always love how defensive the faithful become when there's even the slightest hint of criticism towards Apple. Lighten up folks! Eventually I'll dip back into the Mac waters. Probably not for another few years though, my current hardware has got a lot of life left in it.
*scratches head* Who in the world would pay 2k for that? Its a nice package but..... 2k? Honostly? How are they even in business? Must be alot of diehard fanboys out there. Sidenote, That mouse looks annoying. There is no bulge for your palm.
You don't hold it like that. The base of your palm rests on the desk. That's how I hold my MX Revolution as well.
yup. Same here. The 27" iMac looks so awesome, finally some good spec bumps in the line. 4GB of ram as standard is great, and 1TB hard disks sweet. And that screen would be great to match up with a TV tuner. However as much as i'd love to get one, I think I need to hold out a bit longer though. My current iMac is 3 years old(young), and was top of the line at the time. So is still pretty good. + currently budgeting to build a house. arghhhhh!! maybe another 12 months :/
I know, My palm and pinky rests on the pad while all my other fingers move the mouse, but my palm just falls right onto the mouse, Looks like youll be sorta holding your hand up by your fingers with that mouse. Lmao @ the pants remark.
Ah fuck, I just went to someones house that just bought the 27" one and it is so beautiful. The mouse was so fucking slick to use. One complaint tho, why can't they put a USB porn (port, oops) on the side for thumb drives or something? Its a pain in the ass to go to the back or to turn this huge ass behemoth around to just plug in a thumb drive. All in all, its not worth the money but damn is it sexy. EDIT: God damnit

A quotation by Adrien-Marie Legendre
It is a matter for considerable regret that Fermat, who cultivated the theory of numbers with so much success, did not leave us with the proofs of the theorems he discovered. In truth, Messrs Euler and Lagrange, who have not disdained this kind of research, have proved most of these theorems, and have even substituted extensive theories for the isolated propositions of Fermat. But there are several proofs which have resisted their efforts.

Nilotinib (Oral Route)
Drug Information provided by: MicromedexUS Brand Names
Nilotinib is used to treat different types of leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer where the body makes too many abnormal white blood cells. It belongs to the general group of medicines known as antineoplastics or cancer medicines.
Nilotinib interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by nilotinib, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects may not be serious but may cause concern.
Before you begin treatment with nilotinib, you and your doctor should talk about the benefits this medicine will do as well as the possible risks of using it.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Capsule

Your Council
Audible intruder alarms are widely used to protect property from unauthorised entry. Unfortunately, they may be triggered by a fault in the system causing a noise problem for nearby neighbours, especially if it occurs frequently. Complaints are usually due to the duration of the alarm rather than the actual volume.
The government has produced a code of practice to try to reduce the incidence of nuisance caused by these alarms. The code states that alarms should be fitted with an automatic cut-out device. Such a device stops the ringing automatically after a period of 20 minutes from the activation of the system. The code also says that the householder should inform the council of the installation of any alarm and the names and addresses of two key-holders who should be well versed in operating and silencing the alarm at short notice.
Medway residents who have an audible intruder alarm fitted to their property should log details of reliable key-holders with the council's environmental protection team. This is not a legal obligation but can save time and expense if the alarm goes off in their absence.
These details are kept on a confidential database and are only used if an alarm is reported as sounding. The details will not be passed to any third party without consent.
If no key-holder is available and it is not known if the householder is due home soon, a council officer will visit to assess the noise for nuisance. If the noise from the alarm is deemed to be a statutory nuisance, formal action will be taken by the officer.
This will involve the serving of a noise abatement notice under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. If the notice is not complied with, i.e. the sounder turned off within 20 minutes, the officer will arrange for an alarm company to disable the alarm from the outside. This may mean that the property is no longer covered by the alarm until it is reset.
Any costs incurred by the council will be recovered from the owner. Medway Council prefers not to take this kind of action and if owners of alarmed premises can register a key-holder who can be contacted at all times, this could save money and be less irritating to neighbours.
The alarm is there to protect property but if it sounds often, it may be ignored and is therefore not doing its intended job.
Staff will check the database to see if a key-holder is known. If they are, the council will contact them to disable the alarm.

Eons without power including nymex trader Mike -- part one that we know he's been keeping up with crude oil are Bob gasoline watching the news from his local park.
He's joining us now on the phone from Edgewater New Jersey where Mike what are you doing today understanding put your hand signals down -- your hands and started helping people on the coast of the Hudson River.
Yeah alleged it was pretty it was throughout the -- storm I've ever ever seen I think anybody who lived -- their allies the that is seen and the devastation.
Peanut I walked up there rusty here and -- she'd like down at about three point be done Atlantic City managers sure they would devastated so.
What you know it was devastating -- and -- -- -- no choice but about the market being closed.
I mean.
The electronic markets work but I think you need people who -- them so I mean.
Incorporate it would it would help -- birthday today's data -- -- but it should be looked back yeah but they'll you -- going forward.
As far as you know crude oil today is what I saw here -- it really didn't do much and now or about gasoline this bank -- -- okay.
I don't wanna talk about but first let me just give you this bit of news that I Sandra Smith who's at the CME which owns the nymex where you trade.
Is just coming in with this.
New York trading floor to reopen but only contingent.
Upon lifting of the New York city's own -- evacuation order -- want to -- our viewers know.
That the nymex trading floor is smack at the box from a Battery Park Comex gold also trades there as well what else.
What it got gold bedecked shoulder you've got that crude all the products and resources well I heard the same -- a little while I just got a text accord between march Dana we're going to be open tomorrow -- -- discretion communion.
But I I believe Mayor Bloomberg has through a live -- -- evacuation zone states.
In order for that to happen but maybe has unofficially or maybe just -- -- I think I've got this is so -- many officials each -- that we're going to be open.
Mark OK now that we have a picture we have a picture that that you sent us.
It is our shot -- about I want to let people know this because this is my home town to.
Right there in Edgewater New Jersey the boat has been lifted several feet because the water is several feet below that edge.
Up August what does that is that -- is that somebody's backyard.
That's almost like Freddie aren't quick to be opposite -- that swept to -- -- just don't know I'm I'm on the west side of river road so just audio said he -- -- river Roche is a walkway there it goes along the Hudson River.
And that boat broke loose and let them -- -- down.
And ended up to risking -- there.
And on how long it's gonna be -- -- I think it's gonna get them -- long time I was.
A couple of local readers this morning trying to help out -- it was there was so much damage and doing nothing you can do.
Until you know -- come down which -- which direction he's gonna going.
OK let me just give some prices here we can throw up the board as well now not next are Bob gasoline natural gas they were trading in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange -- of that was happening for the futures.
Nymex crude futures this is the after market.
Up only six pennies so we're looking at 85 dollars sixty cents a barrel also still well below 86 dollars and this is our Bob gasoline at.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Because our Bob you would think a lot of the gas stations are running out it's hard to get the product into the gas stations at this point.
But is it simply based on the fact that there will be less demand as people are still hiding in their homes and not able to move about.
You know -- -- -- -- -- put about that is ridiculous supply demand destruction based based supply there's plenty of supply out there but I don't we got this situation what he had done with Katrina.
What -- price it is took part because that's what -- -- aren't we worked.
And you know a lot of things we shut down dory Katrina.
You don't have that situation he did ample supply out there are so like like the markets reacted -- -- in in -- -- what I.
I think that's what you gonna have going forward and that 85 dollar level include.
-- building the bottom you know -- more awful lot.
So I don't you know and I'm which is right around our area going voted the -- the other thing -- -- is storm.
It in perspective -- -- and the bicycle -- that we.
I think they actually you know different skittish -- trip.
I don't think it's necessarily due to distort the people -- -- drop that you -- this -- as well as it settles into each other out.
OK so it'll say like the stays safe Mike and I assume you'll be back on the floor of the nymex if they open at thank you so much for joining us -- -- -- Nymex trader -- -- in Edgewater New Jersey we've got.

The Walking Dead 3.7: When The Dead Come Knocking (Isn't That All The Time?)
Hosted By Fashion and Entertainment Editor Joseph Lamour
Last week, Michonne showed her selflessness when she took baby formula to a group of people she never met who, in this world, could just deign to kill her on sight. Rick's camp doesn't know that she's Andrea's friend, which would have been helpful in getting that trust from Rick's group right in the beginning. That, added with the fact that she cared for a sick Andrea for four months, only reinforces how good a person she truly is.
I've been looking very forward to the Michonne/Good Guys meeting, especially since Andrea peaced out for plumbing and Zombie Mortal Kombat nights with the kids. I've been less excited so for the Glenn and Maggie/Bad Guys meeting, which proved to be rather tense. This week, it's date night! Just me and my best mate Carly Mitchell take a look at what happens when these two camps finally start to mesh.
* Ahem… Lady Mary Crawley Has Something To Say…"
Zombie Interlude
Joe: Real quick zombie-related movie news: have you seen the preview for World War Z yet?
It appears the plot only vaguely has to do with the plot of the book, since we appear to see Hobo Pitt in most of the preview. But it still looks fantastic.
Carly: Oh, I am super excited for this. It's one of those where I saw the trailer and thought, well, I'll be in the theater for that. Plus, Mireille Enos has me sold on it immediately. I've not read the book, but may have to before it comes out. I'll chalk it up to zombie research mandated by this roundtable.
Joe: I'm excited for Enos. Anything's better than The Killing (which I just found out was cancelled–I guess it wasn't really shocking so I glossed right over it when it was news. LOL). Anyhow, back to this zombie apocalypse: I've been excited for Michonne to meet the rest of the group ever since they introduced her. I think its the end of the "aRickstocracy" he's established because there is no way Michonne is going to listen to him if he has a bad idea–and he has a lot of those.
Carly: Hell, I'm excited to see her join everyone so she can have some actual communication with others.
Joe: Seriously. Are they really bringing up T-Dog dying again like they ever spoke to him? That's like me mourning the loss of my mailman. You know, the one I have seen and waved hello to once. Honestly, writers. It's not like when (SPOILER ALERT) Macaulay Culkin dies in My Girl. We never knew who T-Dog was, so we can't truly care about it as much as you're trying to make us.
Carly: Amen. Sometimes I even wonder if they want us to care or if they are just using it as a talking point. I thought we were over politicians being trained to cite 'human stories.'
Joe: I have an immense fear that the "bad thing" that happens this season, like the really bad thing–so bad I won't even spoil it by hinting at what it is (but spoilers appear at the bottom of the post)–that might have transferred from Michonne to Maggie.
Carly: I can appreciate the use of parallel experiences with Michonne and the two different "communities," comparing which is more real that'll lead to her opening up. It's a little heavy-handed, but I'll take anything that moves us away from her strong and silent go-to.
Joe: Thank you for letting her open up a little bit, writers. Good on 'ya.
And Now Introducing….
Carly: What? We're not going with Asskicker? But that's such a perfect way to jump the shark!
Joe: Wee little Judith Grimes, you have a lot of sour pusses in your future. Thanks for not changing it, Television Gods. I don't think "Asskicker" would be jumping the shark. Naming her "Hope" or "Faith" would. I'm talking to you, Passions.
Carly: Boy, when The Governor said, "You're doing us a great service," to the dying man, that really creeped me out. What a great way to set up a something's-not-quite-right scene.
Joe: Truth. Also, for Pete's sake, Merle, using that same tired-ass Chinese food joke…
Carly: How much does The Governor trust Merle? He appears to let him be the leader and doesn't let on in an obvious way that he thinks Merle is a little morally off-kilter…but…surely he sees it?
Joe: If a zombie spent a little time with Merle, it would whisper that it was uncomfortable to its friends. I don't think The Governor cares. As long as Merle does what he says. In other news, that Glenn fight scene with the zombie made him like 400% more Daryl. This basically means hes four times as hot now.
Carly: Agreed times two. At this point I'd love a show with just Glenn and Daryl. Maybe a Christmas special? Too much to ask?
Joe: Why don't we live in England where they have Christmas specials that have nothing to do with the show–and are super cheesy–but I still love them (I'm talking to you, Dr. Who!) That is what America is missing…oh god, The Governor wants to talk to Maggie. I really may be right. Not happy about that.
Carly: The psychological violation: removing her shirt, positioning her, talking to her respectfully the whole time as if he's allowing her to do much of these things…that's scary and right in the wheelhouse I'd expect from him. I've gotta give credit to the show that they didn't use an obscene amount of footage of Maggie weeping and in terror despite clearly being able to hear everything happening in the other room. Removes some of the torture-porn element that's so popular in horror these days.
Joe: Very, very true. It's just as horrifying though. Other shows should take note.
Carly: All that being said, I've noticed a theme of 'big military' against 'rebels' and how big military can be sinister and rebels can be chaotic. The torture of women psychologically and physically is hard to avoid in conversations about war, even small scale wars.
Joe: Yeah. It's a whole underdog thing here because, clearly, The Governor is more prepared for a large-scale fight should the need arise. I mean, they just looted all those soldiers' weapons. It's going to be an unpleasant battle.
Carly: I think I'd like that shot of the walkers pounding on this boarded-up cabin as a painting.
Joe: It would be lovely, in the style of Georgia O'Keefe.
Carly: Think Homer's Snap the Whip. Over the fireplace.
Joe: I love the guy doing the face plant in Snap the Whip. P.S. When you said Homer's Snap the Whip, I immediately thought of Smithers singing "Licorice Whip" on The Simpsons. I am a bad art-degree holder. LOL.
Carly: Thank you, Michonne, for showing some sense, for goodness sake! I can't believe they even let him load the chamber.
Joe: How did cabin guy survive that long?! It seems like he isn't really one for sense, keeping his dead dog inside the cabin…maybe that was to keep the walkers away?
Carly: I can't give that guy too much credit for having a survival plan after threatening to call the cops.
Joe: I guess that's true. It's, like,who did they think they were? Someone that was going to rob his house using their pack of zombies as scare bait?
Carly: That was it for the dying man? I mean, that's it? Maybe we'll get some interesting backstory on Milton now, at least, or maybe it'll push The Governor into some new incident with his daughter.
Joe: I think that scene was to show that Andrea was compassionate for him. He seems like a character that will a) die in the season finale while helping Rick's group as a thank-you to Andrea or b) a new part of the group while doing the same things for Andrea.
Carly: But he seems to have a good relationship with The Governor, too, helping with these jerry-rigged experiments. I don't know how quickly he'll jump ship.
Joe: I'm pretty sure The Governor would throw Milton to the dogs in like…a second. Just wait for him to do that, and you have your turncoat for good! P.S.: I'm watching The Good Wife as I copy my comments from my notes to here, and Milton (Dallas Roberts) plays Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) cute and clever gay brother. It's weirding me out a little bit.
Carly: And just as I was thinking hey I think I'd be okay with Maggie going, she steps forward and confirms that, yes, I would like her to die now.
Joe: I mean…you can't fault her for looooooove, can you? Plus, only Carl, Carol, and Beth are at the jail. I'm okay with any of them going, except for the new queen of snark, Carol…who better not die now. Do you hear me, Walking Dead television credits?!
Post Un-Mortem (GRAPHIC NOVEL SPOILERS–AND TRIGGER WARNING–AHEAD)
Joe: So, in this episode, the greatly feared event this season happens to Maggie instead of Michonne. In the graphic novel, in order to get the location of the prison, he captures, tortures, and rapes Michonne in order to get the information. This, while tense, was thankfully very toned down from what's in the graphic novels. It would have caused such an outrage if it had happened just like that.
Carly: I don't know his character from the books so…I say that, even though they haven't given us a lot of details on his life perspective, raping her seems way over the line for him. Everything we've seen so far–his caring for his daughter, having Merle and everyone else but him prep the toothless fighting zombies, his intervention with the interrogation of the [women]–it just doesn't add up to a man that does his own dirty work in that way. Not that there ever has to be rhyme and reason to rape–I'm talking solely in terms of character development. I don't have much to say on the use of rape as the number-one tool to use on women instead of beatings (or even zombie attacks like they used on Glenn), that hasn't been said before. It just sends shivers down my spine. I'm sure some people will feel like they may not have treated it right, but I'm glad they didn't just throw a rape scene in there without really thinking it through.
Joe: I agree with you, but, then again, I know how much worse they could have made it. Might not matter to some, since they treated the female character differently–assuming that it was violating her in that way would get her to talk and violating Glenn wouldn't somehow be just as effective. These men in the camp are clearly misogynists, though. We could debate this for days, I think.
Oh, by the way, Michonne Head Count was 1. She barely had time before she passed out. So what did you think about this episode, and how they handled the interrogation, and the (sort of) welcoming of Michonne, everyone?
Why was new T-Dog carrying all the bags like some kind of pack mule?!? I really need the writers to stop trying to make this Carol/Daryl thing happen.

I was really excited about Warm Bodies too… especially since they changed a few aspects that work in the book but wouldn't work on screen.

"What do you mean, why do you two have to walk up front? Cause you're bla– I mean, new." – Rick
"What do you mean, why did we take so long to open the gate? Cause you're bla– I mean, uh, new." – Carl
"What do you mean, why don't we write you more lines? Cause you're bla– I mean, mysterious." – Writers -
I thought they wouldn't put the rape scene in because it would be too much for the TV adaptation, but then again i also felt the same way about the zombie arena thing. I thought using the fear of rape against her was effectively frightening though.
Ingemar Smith
When it comes to Rick's group, I like how io9 has dubbed them the T-dog Memorial Task Force. I can now tolerate all mentions of T-dog if I think of the rest of the group as his Memorial Task Force.
Now, I want to start a caption this contest. LOL.
This episode, with the torture scenes and rape scaring, was a little too much for me. If something happens to Glenn I will scream and possibly stop watching the show. Also, WHY aren't the characters communicating more? Michonne could have prepped them a bit for the place and told them what to expect. A little "your friends were attacked by a guy ranting about his brother? Something about his hand being chopped off?" MAYBE if she divulged some info, they would figure out that they were dealing with Merle. I get that this isn't the sort of character they are making Michonne out to be, but seems like going into a battle without all the information doesn't make much sense. And the scene with Milton and Andrea and the dying man? Why not just tell the man what they all learned at the CDC? That people are brain dead upon turning? I just don't see what the point of keeping absolutely everything secret? Okay, okay, its a zombie apocalypse so people aren't going to interact the way they used to, but it doesn't feel natural to just not share anything with anyone.

Yeah, it's used uncensored in both El Scorcho and Undone. However, it is censored in This Ain't A Scene, It's an Arms Race, which makes the censoring rules a little confusing. And while I'm on that subject, why did they censor "crap" when they released Runnin' Wild? E10 rated games like Shadow the Hedgehog have shown can easily use that word and a couple worse ones.
And yes, the n-word has been and can be used in Teen rated games (Jet Set Radio Future is one example), as can the S-word (Tony Hawk's Underground did), so the removals of those words in Rock Band is probably, as wrldindstries said, for sensitivity reasons.
Actually, I think that technically, the Teen does allow the f-word (especially since the introduction of the E10, which gave the Teen a little more weight), and I remember that The Offspring's Way Down the Line was not censored in Crazy Taxi (at least not on the Dreamcast version).
