Hands down (and hands down her pants, from the sound of it), the funniest bit from the summer's raunch smorgasbord The Aristocrats was hearing Sarah Silverman tell the infamously profane family-act joke at the center of Paul Provenza's documentary. Where Robin Williams, Drew Carey, George Carlin, and a hundred other funny folks were serving up naughty variations in various shades of blue, Silverman was bringing it all back home. No longer was it a third-person joke about a family auditioning for a talent agent by performing myriad acts of bestiality, incest, and violence -- the basis for most comedy, mind you; it became instead a first-person tale about Silverman auditioning for infamous New York talk-show host Joe Franklin, who made her, ya know, do things. Sitting on an oversize chair, curled up like a fetus, Silverman suddenly comes to the realization: "Joe Franklin raped me." She delivers the punch line as though ashamed, even shocked, that she said it out loud, but nonetheless with a dry, deadpan delivery -- the oh, well shrug the flamethrower tosses the fireman. That's her whole act -- amusing and appalling all at once, getting you to laugh and then vomit in your mouth. And word is, Franklin wasn't amused: He threatened to sue.
But offending is part of Silverman's shtick. Why else would she insist, as she does early in her concert film Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic, that "I'm one of the few people that believes it was the blacks" who killed Jesus Christ? (And if the Jews did, in fact, crucify Christ, she adds, "Good ... I'd fuckin' do it again in a second.") She wants you to oooh and aaah and groan and twist in disbelief that someone so disarmingly pretty -- long neck ("six inches flaccid"), bright grin, model thin -- would dare say things so ribald and odious, even about September 11, when she discovered that soy chai latte had nine hundred calories. "It was also the day we were attacked," she then adds, like it's a big duh.
Hers is the deep well of insults and taunts and jabs, reserved not only for ethnic groups (because babies love ethnic jokes, she claims) and retards ("and by retard, I mean they can do anything"), but also her Nana (who Silverman believes died at 96 of rape and other foul play) and boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel (a Catholic who believes, yes, Jesus is magic). And she doesn't spare herself, either: When Silverman, explaining from the stage the pattern of dysfunctions and humiliations that led to her becoming a comedian, says she wet her bed till well into her teens, she wasn't lying.
But Jesus Is Magic is more than a standard comedy-concert doc, some late-night Comedy Central throwaway starring somebody you've seen in big roles in small-screen shows (Greg the Bunny and The Larry Sanders Show) or small roles in big movies (The School of Rock, say, in which she played a pain in the flaccid neck). It also serves as a demo reel: She sings! She dances! She acts in a scene with Bob Odenkirk! She talks out of her vagina and ass!
It begins by mocking her status as a cult icon: Silverman is sitting around her apartment while two other comics, Brian Posehn (of Just Shoot Me and the brilliant doc The Comedians of Comedy, airing this month on Comedy Central) and sister Laura Silverman, tout their upcoming projects -- an album for Posehn, a Comedy Central pilot for Laura. They wonder what Sarah's up to, and she feigns an answer: a show about the Holocaust and AIDS, which, she promises, "will be funny." She splits, insisting she's doing the show that very night, and suddenly she's in a convertible, singing about her plight in a sequence that appears lifted from every 1950s musical. It's the most effective of the offstage sequences, which include a song Silverman sings to the residents of an old-age home, who, she taunts, "are gonna die soon."
What makes Silverman a truly gifted comic is her timing and delivery: She spills her monologue as if it's off the cuff, one tangent leading to the next till it builds into something profound or profane -- maybe a little of both. Her talk of raising kids Catholic or Jewish leads into her comment about who killed Christ, which stumbles into her revealing that a certain sexual practice reminds her of how much she's like her mother, which winds up with a bit about how she goads her favorite niece by insisting that when she fails at something, an angel gets "full-blown AIDS." It has the feel of the made-up -- not just because Silverman has such a careless, casual delivery, but because each sentence bears the sting of something uttered before it's given too much care and consideration. Sure, she seems to be implying with every crooked grin and phony apology, what she says might offend, but, golly, it's just what she's thinking -- and surely, that's more important than how you're feeling about it, right? Right.

In a raft of announcements, Sonos today confirmed the existence of the $99 ZoneBridge 100, and launched two more PC-free music-store options on the system, including Napster and Best Buy's new Digital Music Store.
The cute little ZoneBridge is actually the best part of the news to me: rather than paying for a $350 ZonePlayer to connect to your router (which may be somewhere that will never need music), you can drop $100 to start the connection. As we told you earlier, ZoneBridges will also be good for fleshing out the mesh network in big-ass homes.
The addition of the two music programs means that the Sonos now has a heady number of music-source choices. Both Rhapsody and Napster offer free anonymous no-credit-card one-month trials, so you'd be dumb not to try out both for the duration before making a decision. I've traditionally favored Rhapsody, but Napster is coming in $3 lower, at $10 per month, so that's going to make it a contender.
The Best Buy Digital Music Store is a Rhapsody-powered service that will cost $15 per month and won't have a free trial. However, it is a way for Best Buy to promote Sonos systems in the store, so I guess it has its purpose. Sonos also has Sirius and Pandora on the dial, for still more options. At some point, does it get too crowded in that Controller? I am starting to wonder. [Sonos]

It has been a profound honor to serve our community in the NYS Assembly for the last 14 years. From the moment I was first elected in 1996, I have fought to protect the rights of my constituents. I have been especially focused on advocating for senior citizens and in holding insurance companies accountable.
I never took my responsibility as your voice in state government lightly and I am proud of the dozens of bills which I introduced that were signed into law, as well as the thousands of constituents I have been able to help with issues such as in cutting through red tape with city and state agencies or with health insurance companies that denied them coverage.
I am also proud of the millions of dollars in state funding that I have been able to steer toward our local hospitals, nursing homes, schools, libraries, and senior centers in Northeast Queens.
Though I have chosen to leave the Assembly at the end of my current term in order to spend more time with my family, including my two young children, I plan to remain active in our community and to continue to advocate on behalf of seniors in Northeast Queens. I will also continue to conduct my annual gift drives.
I sincerely appreciate all of your support for my record-breaking gift drives for the last 14 years. Without your generous assistance, we would not have been able to brighten the holidays for so many hospitalized war veterans and children. I have personally witnessed the smiles that your donations have brought to the faces of thousands of hospitalized heroes as well as disabled and needy children.
I would also like to congratulate Assemblyman-Elect Ed Braunstein. I have known Ed for many years and I am certain that he will do an outstanding job serving our district in the Assembly.
Once again, thank you for your support. It has been a pleasure to serve you. I look forward to seeing you in the community. In the interim, I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season.
Ann-Margaret Carrozza
Member of Assembly

What makes the Queen a King?
White House Cybersecurity Boss -- Who Argued Against Overhyping Threats -- Resigns
Persistent in these facts is the Idea that the "real" powers have spoken on the coming trend in Cybersecurity and
whoever wants to head a relevant federal agency had better show up ready to say "yes" to the conventional beaurocratic wisdom or learn to fly unceremoniously out the window.
Of course, the "done deal" that shows up in the American legislative tea leaves is yet another indistinguishable version of PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, CISPA or Six Strikes....In short, yet one more repackage of assorted nullifications of American Constitutional and Civil Liberties....things like broad grants of Immunity to govermental and Private agencies for damages inflicted on innocents; conversion of Presumption of Innocence into (cough, cough) rebuttable presumption of guilt; rechartering of National Security Agencies to operate within the United States with American Citizens as legitimate subjects of investigation; expansion of government and private party actions that can be taken prior to or without warrant; incorporation in written law of the effectiveness of Commercial TOS waivers as dispositive for the waiver of Constitutionally protected rights.
Took a lot of Balls to present the American People with these already known bundles of nullifications of their Civil and Constitutional Rights....Will take even less brains to offer up the next pretty package with these same traps restated....
Yet,if these "powers that be" were so powerful and unopposable, don't you think they could have saved themselves from the public bitch-slapping the American People gave them the first time around in the matters of PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, CISPA?
The special interest beneficiaries of these laws don't just "want" Immunity from Liability....They desperately NEED Immunity from liability....and the American People said, very LOUDLY...."NO! You cant't have Immunity from Liability!"
Because the next Public Bitch-Slapping is going to send the political hacks who protect these special Interests permenantly into the closet in a coma.

Re: Not good
White House Cybersecurity Boss -- Who Argued Against Overhyping Threats -- Resigns
Perhaps these guys are more useful on the outside....After all, three hundred die hard sleepers need to be woken up.....Of course, they might all pull a Chris Dodd and go where the money is.....
Is this a real loss? Not if "the money" is where they've always been.....

He might veto it if he looked out the White house window and saw a public reaction Tsunami higher than Mount Everest cresting over the Potomac.

Worst possible CISPA, best possible invitation for CISPA takedown
Insanity: CISPA Just Got Way Worse, And Then Passed On Rushed Vote
They insist. It's their road or the Highway.
They think three hundred million Americans can be served whatever rancid, even toxic, borsht comes off the legislative menu without consequenses: It's PIPA one week; SOPA the next; ACTA, for breakfast and lunch the following month; and, for supper a year later, you too can look forward to washing down the past years gastronomic nightmare from our American Congress with the delightfully fecal aroma of CISPA in the air.
In a sense, it's good that with this latest passed version of CISPA, these Legislators have come out of the closet and told us more clearly than ever EXACTLY what the THINK.
More of the sleeping American Democracy Should hear and begin to REALLY understand their message. Only then will the REAL power behind three hundred million voices be heard. Perhaps then the legislatures will be cleaned out from floor to ceiling in both houses; down to the skanky fleas and ticks and lice the live their; washed down in every nook and crany with disinfectant; and a new generation of leaders invited in who have been born again to the REAL meaning of the American Constitution.

Are the pecuniary interests of current Copyright Holders immediate National Security Interests?
Stupid Politics As Usual To Drive The CISPA Narrative
Let's grant for a second that there are honerable, intelligent and well intentioned people whose calling is to be responsiblle each day and each second for the actual physical security of the the commonwealth.
So, why would such people, with full access to their best faculties, propose a Bill like CISPA, stuffed as is now widely known with the most adverse implications imaginable for the Constitutional Rights of every American?
If one is to take CISPA in isolation, one might say, "OOOOps! Must have been an oversight or some unintended consequences! Perhaps, an afterthought; or two."
But isn't this the same Political Establishment that produced PIPA, SOPA, and ACTA? And didn't those laws suffer from the same articulated abreviations of Constitutional Rights as CISPA? Isn't that EXACTLY why enraged Americans rejected those laws?
Is it impossible to believe that American National Security Proffessionals could not draft a narrowly taylord protocol granting the reasonable rights needed to address cybersecuriy risks of essential National Security assets?
Our problem is not CISPA or PIPA or SOPA or ACTA; but rather, our problem is with what lies behind the recurring totality of these laws: An American political class that tells Americans more clearly each day with each new legislative proposal, that they must accept some nullification of their Constitutional Rights in the interest of protecting existing pecuniary previledges of Intellectual Property distributors under current Copyright Law.

waiver of civil liberties or denial of civll liberties?
Real Estate Firms Slipping 'Non-Disparagement' Clauses Into Rental Agreements To Stifle Online Criticism
Regretably, everywhere that citizens function as customers, they are being stripped of their most fundamental constititional rights under the guise of "informed" waiver by contractual consent.
The thus far unresolved question is how constitutional rights of Free Speech, Access to Appellette Courts, Freedom from unauthorized searches, or confiscation of private property without prior judicial review, became waivable under commercial Terms of Service (TOSs.)
The even more immediate question is why the burden is perpetually on Private Individual citizens to overcome anew a seemingly infinite iteration of impairment to their constitutional rights. After all, the factual distinction between price, or product quality or delivery date, functionality or use, are a KNOWN qualitative order of magnitude DIFFERENT from the constitutional rights of private citizens. The inclusion of Consttutional perogatives in Corporate Terms of Service, like the resulting damage to civil liberties CANNOT be an afterthought.
The News is proof enough: Ten or twenty or thirty ISPs (regulated public monopolies no less) enter into private agreement for the benefit of third party private entities (not their customers) called a Six Strike program under which the ISPs agree to present their millions of customers with imposed shared terms under which the ISPs presume to possess essentially ALL the powers and rights as private parties (including Immunity from liability) which enraged citizens sent into the legislative toilet bowl with their rejections of PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, and CISPA.
What is the legal basis for these presumptions in the aftermath of the defeat of PIPA, SOPA, ACTA and CISPA? Those millions of customers can find their "rights" defined exclusively within the framework of the ISPs Terms of Service. The mere fact that those Terms of Service effectively nullify the constitutional righs of customers falls into the realm of convenient afterthought: Want independent Appellette review of the fact that the ISP invades your right to privacy and due process by inspecting your personal files without prior judicial process? Have you been falsely accused and wish to sue your accuser in court for damages?
For millions of American citizens the answer to those questions are no longer found in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, but in their ISPs Terms of Service.
Where in the terms of Service? Look for your right to Due Process under "Arbitration Clause".
It is not that the same public anger that defeated PIPA and SOPA and ACTA and CISPA can't find expression yet again on behalf of civil liberties; but, the infinite repetiveness of these insults must be addressed, or we might discover ultimatelty that we won a million battles for civil liberties, but lost the war,

(First in a series of profiles on Twin Citians who have fulfilled a dream of all wine lovers: starting their own wineries. Next up on May 28: Dan Gustafson).
Peter Kitchak laughs heartily when he hears the old line about the best way to make a small fortune in the wine world: Start with a large fortune. "I can make more money in the Twin Cities in one month than I'll make in a year in Napa," he said.
That hasn't stopped Kitchak, president of Keeywadin Real Estate Advisors, from bringing the same passion to Kitchak Cellars that he did to his previous avocation, auto-racing.
He and partner-in-vines Ralph Bashioum, took a two-year graduate-level correspondence course at wine mecca University of California, Davis, before starting this venture. "I decided that if I was going to make wine, the only way to do it was to be the very best," Kitchak said, "to make a cabernet as good as Colgin or Screaming Eagle."
He's well on his way. The Kitchak Cellars 2005 Concerto, sourced at the justly esteemed Beckstoffer-To Kalon Vineyard, rivals any '05 cab I've tasted, rich and bold and laden with dynamite fruit and tannins.
Kitchak's white semi-Rhone blend, Vivacé, is another serious beauty, lush and floral and bracingly long. It combines grapes from Saralee's Vineyard in Sonoma's Russian River Valley and an attention to detail that helps explain why Kitchak has been successful in all of his ventures.
A while back, Kitchak was wowed by a white wine in France's Languedoc region. It was reminiscent of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape but utterly distinctive. Turns out that the woman making the wine was throwing a bit of chardonnay into the rousanne-marsanne blend, which, not to put too fine a point on it, doesn't fit within the wine bylaws of her region.
Following her lead, Kitchak and Bashioum added some chardonnay to their blend, ultimately deciding to keep it at about 6 percent of the mix. "When it gets up near 10 percent, the wine tastes like a chardonnay," he said. Not what they were looking for.
At present, Kitchak Cellars wines have only limited availablilty in the Twin Cities, with some bottles at Cue, the Guthrie's restaurant, and Solo Vino. Some wines also can be ordered from the winery, at www.kitchakcellars.com.
That's based in the southern part of the Napa Valley, where Kitchak is growing some grapes that could end up in one of his wines someday. After all, as he noted, "If you're making Napa Valley cabernet, you've got to be a dunce to screw it up."

Jarno Trulli wines it up
Thanks to Georgia McKay from Horizon Communication for inviting me along to this special dinner event with guest of honor Jarno Trulli, Formula One Driver for Lotus. I hope his jet lag clears up in time for the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix happening this week in Melbourne. His passion also extends to a variety of wines which were served throughout the night. I mostly liked the fruity overtones of the Jarno Bianco and the nice bodied Podere Montepulciano with only subtle tannins. Arriving to a glass of Paparazzi Prosecco and canapés of prosciutto stuffed with ricotta, taggiasche olives and leek certainly helped warm the heart from the torrential rain outside flooding the streets.
The restaurant is a lot larger than you'd expect from the comparatively smallish street entrance. Set on two levels with an upstairs bar and a downstairs main dining area. Those lucky enough to sit on the covered terrace were fortunate to take full advantage of the panoramic views of the city skyline once the rain had subsided and the plastic curtains raised. At the kitchen helm Head Chef Fabio Pappagallo was in charge of the six course degustation ($165) with his trusty team of Italian chefs that worked fairly quietly with dedication. The accommodating and hard working service swiftly brought out the Canapé tasting plates as a starter. It was an eclectic mix of nicely presented savoury and sweet items which I think would have been better served by simplifying to one of the savouries as an amuse-bouche and keeping perhaps the sweeter Baby pears [fig?] poached in cognac and blackcurrant with zabaglione cream as a palate cleanser after the main. For me there just seemed to be too much happening on one plate to take in and fully appreciate.
The cold served Entrée con Trebbiano of Pearl meat tartare marinated in cumquat juice was served with pomegranate seed aspic and a pink grapefruit and green chilli sorbet. Quite light and refreshing on the palate although I found the pomegranate seeds the dominant taste which overpowered the very subtle flavour of the pearl meat tartare. It was a more sweet than savoury dish which bordered on dessert for me. I'm actually not even sure what pearl meat is but it had a similar texture to chopped prawn meat. Next was another cold Entrée con Rose of Poached turkey with ginger mayonnaise and limoncello sauce. This was certainly the most challenging dish of the night for me to appreciate. Apart from simply looking like deli cut sliced turkey arranged on a plate I struggled to find a balance in flavours, especially with the limoncello sauce often overpowering the taste buds. I didn't mind the ginger mayonnaise but perhaps it would have better suited seafood like grilled scallops, fresh salmon or prawns, or even crumbed calamari minus the limoncello or just used very subtly. At this point I felt I was still looking for the Italian cuisine I was expecting to find.
Thankfully a warm dish was served last of Grilled venison noisettes with layered sweet potatoes, leeks and chestnuts. A quality cut of tender meat cooked about medium rare which surprisingly didn't taste too gamey. The side of sweet potatoes had nice flavours and my only real gripe was the bowl it was served in making it a little awkward to cut — and some extra jus would have been nice. To finish a plate of three flavoursome cheeses were served with accompanying chestnut honey, pâté and nuts, and a yellow peach jam. I liked the creamy smoothness of the taleggio cheese the best. For those staying late a plentiful supply of petit fours arrived including a chocolate mousse which I think probably would have been better presented through the piping bag with a star nozzle. With so many enticing Italian dishes on the normal a la carte menu I unfortunately left the night feeling like I hadn't really had a chance to fully appreciate the real 'Italian' Mezzaluna but as a function and wedding reception space it would be an ideal venue if the food matches its prime location and spectacular outlook.

this is just to tell what finally made my computer with the M3A motherboard boot.
When I first time assembled my computer with the Asus M3A, it didn't boot up as expected. It started in stand-by mode. Power-light-diode was blinking and fan speed low.
I read in this forum that other people were experiencing the same problems as I. So it gave me some new energy and hope, that I would get my M3A to work as it should.
I assembled the computer several times before it finally booted. It took a few hours in all. But what might help other people to get their M3A to boot is the following:
The last time I assembled the computer I did two things that I didn't do the other times.
I cleared the CMOS as described in the manual page 1-25 - by moving the jumper for 10 seconds - but with this exception to the manual - that I left the onboard button cell battery in place. I did not remove it. My thought was, that there has to be some kind of electrical power to erase the CMOS data.
The other thing that I did with the last assembly before the computer booted, was - that the last things I connected before pushing the power button - was the power supply cables. The 4-pin and the 20-pins power cables to the motherboard, and the main power cable to the external jack on the power supply. Before this, I had installed the videocard and cable, sata-cables, mouse and keyboard etc.
So, clearing the CMOS with the onboard battery installed, and connecting everything else before connecting the power cables. After these two changes, my M3A booted and has worked fine since with no problems at all.

Originally I was getting beep codes of two long, pause, four short however through the course of my trial and error I reset the CMOS, now it is two long tones i.E. bad date/time from the reset.
The strange part is that my monitor acts as thought it is being sent a signal, it comes out of standby mode, however nothing appears. My thought on this is that the mobo is PCI-e 2.0 however this is not a PCI-e 2.0 card, does anyone know if there are legacy issues there?
Wikipedia has the following to say about PCI-e 2.0:
PCIe 2.0 is completely backwards compatible with PCIe v1.x. Graphic cards and motherboards designed for v2.0 will be able to work with v1.1 and v1.0, and vice versa. In some rare cases it is possible that a PCI-E 2.0 card will not work correctly on a PCI-E 1.0a slot. This is only limited to certain video cards.
Also I have tested with another 5000+, another M3A, another 7900GS another DIMM of Kingston 533 and an Antec 380w with the same result, all equipment last known good of about a week ago, the board is sitting on cardboard with only the PSU/GPU/CPU/One DIMM installed right now (I am shorting the pins to start it)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

SAGs bring awards season to fever pitch
By John Weeks, Los Angeles News Group
For most of us, it's flu season. We pass around germs. But for our favorite celebrities, this is awards season. They give each other statuettes.
Obviously, flu season and awards season don't have a lot in common. On the other hand, they both are highly contagious and they spread quickly.
Like the flu, awards shows are rampant now.
Up next are the SAGs, the eager upstart in the awards show family.
It was only in 1995 that the Screen Actors Guild offered its first awards presentation, which means the show still is just a teenager. The 19th annual ceremony takes place Sunday at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium and will be broadcast live on TNT and TBS starting at 5 p.m.
The SAGs, while much younger than the Oscars (which date to 1929), the Golden Globes (1944), the Emmys (1949) and even the People's Choice Awards (1975), are a precocious youth. They are wise beyond their years and have been quick to gain respect.
This year, the historical epic "Lincoln," the musical "Les Miserables" and the romantic comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" are the leading SAG Award contenders, with four nominations apiece.
Often, the SAG Awards have stood well with the Oscars, sometimes foreshadowing them with uncanny accuracy. Other times, quite frankly, SAG's choices have seemed even better than Oscar's.
In 2002, for example, the Oscar for Best Actor went to Denzel Washington for "Training Day," but the Screen Actors Guild made the braver choice and selected Russell Crowe for his nuanced performance in "A Beautiful Mind." In 2004, the Best Actor Oscar went to Sean Penn for "Mystic River," but the Screen Actors Guild honored the wildly more memorable work of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean."
One special trait of the Screen Actors Guild Awards is that they are just what they say they are - actors awards. They are for performers only. In fact, the SAG statuette is called The Actor. It's a 12-pound bronze figure of a nude performer striking a pose. Apparently, in Hollywood, statuettes don't wear pants.
"Argo" director Ben Affleck, who already this year has endured the mixed-signal confusion of winning a Golden Globe for Best Director while being snubbed for even a nomination in that category for an Academy Award, also will receive no love for his directing from SAG, because the Screen Actors Guild doesn't give awards to directors. Or to cameramen, or choreographers, or costume designers.
There are no SAG Awards even for best picture or television show. The closest they come is ensemble awards for the entire casts of favored titles.
Affleck, who had the good sense to act in "Argo" as well as direct it, does earn SAG props, after all, because "Argo" is one of the nominees in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture - along with "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," "Les Miserables," "Lincoln" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
On the TV side, the SAG nominees in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series are "Boardwalk Empire," "Breaking Bad," "Downton Abbey," "Homeland" and "Mad Men." Nominees for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series are "30 Rock," "The Big Bang Theory," "Glee," "Modern Family," "Nurse Jackie" and "The Office."
Sentimentally inclined SAG voters were given a tough choice in the latter category, as two of the nominated shows, "30 Rock" and "The Office," are riding their farewell seasons into the sunset.
SAG voters also were confronted with tough choices in the motion picture categories. Two of the year's dominant movies managed to place nominees in three out of the four acting categories. "Lincoln" boasts Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Male Actor), Tommy Lee Jones (Best Supporting Male Actor) and Sally Field (Best Supporting Female Actor), while "Silver Linings Playbook" fields a team of nominees that includes Bradley Cooper (Best Male Actor), Jennifer Lawrence (Best Female Actor) and Robert De Niro (Best Supporting Male Actor).
Other acclaimed films also bring considerable star power to the table. "Les Miserables" has Hugh Jackman (Best Male Actor) and Anne Hathaway (Best Supporting Female Actor). "The Sessions" offers John Hawks (Best Male Actor) and Helen Hunt (Best Supporting Female Actor).
The list of nominees also includes such other formidable names as Denzel Washington, Helen Mirren, Alan Arkin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Smith.
Decisions, decisions.
Nominations for SAG Awards are made by two randomly selected panels of 2,100 guild members (one panel for motion pictures, one for television). The final ballot is then put to a vote by the entire SAG membership - about 100,000 strong. (And they can vote right up to the last minute, by the way. Deadline for ballots is noon Friday Jan. 25.)
Sunday night, while they ponder their choices and await the verdicts, attendees at the SAG Awards will dine in style in a showroom decorated with a Rose Parade's worth of flowers, mostly white, including calla lillies, white roses and orchids. The decor's theme is "Classic Hollywood."
Attendees will dine on beef tenderloin with fingerlings, arugula and horseradish cream, and slow-roasted salmon with green rice, capers and nasturtiums, accompanied by roasted beets and blood oranges with feta and black olives.
The vegans in the crowd, including Best Female Actor nominee Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty"), will opt for a grain-and-greens salad featuring farro, kale, young broccoli, currants and pine nuts, plus cauliflower couscous with pomegranate salsa.
Guests also will sip from more than 600 bottles of Taittinger champagne and almost 500 bottles of Gallo Signature Series table wines served in Optique crystal glasses. (Wow. If 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" had been nominated for a SAG Award, as she was for an Oscar, she would have required heavy chaperoning.)
The SAG Awards promise to be entertaining for fans as well as stars. A few hundred members of the public will sit in on-scene bleachers and watch the celebrity arrivals, which will take place on more than 15,000 square feet of red carpet laid especially for the occasion.
And, of course, millions of other fans will watch it all on television. And they needn't worry about not getting an eyeful of their favorites. Even A-listers who aren't nominated for anything this year still will be on hand as presenters, including Justin Timberlake, Taye Diggs, Liev Schreiber and Busy Philipps.
The latter, a star of TBS's "Cougar Town," has been Busy in more ways than one, serving as this year's SAG Awards social media ambassador. She will be on Twitter (@BusyPhilipps25) providing updates and observations on the show.
Carl Reiner will present this year's Life Achievement Award to legendary TV and movie funnyman Dick Van Dyke. Last year's winner of the award was Mary Tyler Moore, co-star of "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Of course, Reiner himself was creator of that show and had a performing role on it, so he might be in line for next year's award, if the Van Dyke bandwagon still is on a roll.
Anyway, it all goes to show that the SAG Awards, in spite of their youth, do show proper respect for the elders of their profession. They may be whippersnappers, but they are very well-behaved whippersnappers.

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/June 4
|I recall an old Sufi story of a good man who was granted one wish by God. The man said he would like to go about doing good without knowing about it. God granted his wish. And then God decided that it was such a good idea, he would grant that wish to all human beings.
And so it has been to this day.

Oh my gosh! Camp Stitchalot gets my vote! Three days of learning and sewing. Sounds heavenly. And so much more reasonable than the event I went to in CA – was it two years ago? Of course I don't live in or near Michigan so it's out of the question this time around. The designs by House were catching my eye today when I went to the site. Atomic in Turquoise would be so fun to work

I love that Pink Castles has a section titled "Stash Builders". We never have enough "stash". But I especially like that you can shop by color. So many times I'm looking for something specific and waste alot of time sorting through pages and pages and not finding what I'm looking for.

I get so annoyed at having to look at a small spot of the fabric and not getting a good idea of the print or whatever adn then click here or there for name and price….her layout was really nice and I enjoyed looking

In a short video released Sept. 10, 2013, on Youtube, Utah State University researchers celebrate a recent speed record set by the school's innovative algae biodiesel-fueled race car. But the dragster's driver, undergraduate biochemist Michael R. Morgan, says "it's not about the speed."
"The real story here is the fuel," Morgan says. "The science behind it, the research that goes into it and the fact that we have a real replacement for fossil fuels possibly in our hands right now."
The "Aggie A-Salt," as the USU-engineered diesel streamliner is formally known, topped 73 miles per hour at the Southern California Timing Association's Speed Week held Aug. 10-16, 2013, at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. That speed may seem unimpressive for most race cars, but the Aggie A-Salt surpassed the existing record set for its 1-liter, small diesel engine class — a vehicle class comparable to a riding lawn mower.
USU biochemistry professor Lance Seefeldt says the fuel could be a "game changer."
"We take CO2 and sunlight and turn it into renewable fuel," Seefeldt says. "We can (use the fuel) in existing engines and the tests we've already done show it works just as well as fuels like biodiesel from soy."
The team's next challenge is bringing down the cost of production. USU algae biofuel currently costs about $15 per gallon to produce. The researchers are confident they can reduce to the cost to compete with existing fuels.
The four-and-a-half-minute video was produced by Apogee Instruments, a Logan, Utah-based manufacturer of environmental instruments. The company was founded by USU professor Bruce Bugbee, an investigator on the algae biodiesel project and a faculty member in the university's Department of Plants, Soils and Climate.
The sleek, Aggie-blue dragster was scheduled to race during the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association's 2013 World of Speed Sept. 7-10, but the event was cancelled due to wet conditions. The team is seeking future opportunities to showcase the vehicle's performance.
