Evil Dead II: 25th Anniversary Edition (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits Sam Raimi's manically awesome classic on Blu-ray...again...
Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) take a romantic getaway to a seemingly abandoned, rundown cabin in the woods. On the first night Ash discovers a tape recorder, featuring the esteemed Professor Knowby (John Peaks) reading incantations from Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. While playing the recordings Ash unwittingly unleashes an evil force that possesses Linda, and the cabin itself. Meanwhile, Knowby's daughter Annie (Sarah Berry) and her research partner Ed Getley (Richard Domeier) journey to the cabin to discuss their latest findings.
Most fans and critics would probably mark Evil Dead II as the Ne Plus Ultra example of Sam Raimi's special brand of energetic filmmaking. Arguments could be levied in favour of Army of Darkness, The Quick and the Dead, Dark Man and even Drag Me to Hell, but for the most part Evil Dead II is the reigning king. It's a practically critic-proof film thanks to a built-in cult fan-base, and simplistic and transparent ambition that leaves possible analysis more or less subjectively taste based. But the enduring beauty of Evil Dead II is the manner it successfully transcends fan-bases, leading it to the unlikely position of being loved by a large cross-section of the movie-going public. Squeamish types can usually handle its cartoonish violence a little better than the slightly more gruesome gore of the original Evil Dead, and can agree that the comedy is more obvious this time around. Those that find the Three Stooges extremes of Army of Darkness a little off-putting (most passing fans, and younger fans probably don't know that when it was released Army of Darkness wasn't particularly loved by the fan community) usually find the more even mix of horror and comedy of Evil Dead II appealing. Army of Darkness' one-liners are slightly more quotable, but Bruce Campbell's stardom (B-stardom, which is occasionally better in the long run than A-stardom) was certainly cemented here, and lines like 'Give me back my hand' and 'Uh huh, that's right, who's laughing now' will almost always get a positive response in mixed company.
Personally, I place Evil Dead II in the middle of a series of '80s horror/comedy hybrids. Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator is probably the best of the type, featuring the smartest script, the best one-liners, the most well constructed characters, and a surprising control of dramatic tone as well. Dan O'Bannon's Return of the Living Dead has a wonderfully anarchic, often joyously nihilistic attitude, and a fun mythology. Peter Jackson's Braindead ( Dead Alive), which is a bit of a cheat considering it was actually released in the early '90s, fulfills the grossest of the gross-out horror/comedy expectations, and has great romantic comedy elements to boot. Evil Dead II is sort of the 'id' movie of the bunch. It works through its unflappable energy, its child-like sense of humour, and its reptilian-brain approach to purely visual filmmaking. It's not the funniest of the bunch, and it features possibly the weakest screenplay (about a third of the film is devoted to retracing the first film, and from there Raimi and co-writer Scott Spiegel kind of retread the same gags), but even Peter Jackson can't find the same utter joy in the low-budget filmmaking process. It isn't the most refined production, but it's excitable, cheerful, and downright avant-garde, and outside of some of Sam Raimi's other films there's very little to accurately compare it to.
It's possible that the only two films that have been re-released more times on digital format are the first Evil Dead, and Army of Darkness, but thanks to a changeover of rights ownership from Anchor Bay to Lionsgate Evil Dead II is the first film in the trilogy that has seen more than one region A Blu-ray release. The Anchor Bay disc was part of the studio's first run of Blu-ray discs, and was, by most accounts, just barely an update over the studio's last DVD release. Lionsgate's disc is apparently a new remaster, but I personally have no real proof of this to go on. The basic format specs for both discs match (AVC, MPEG-4), but there are some minor improvements. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to take screen caps, so my comparison between the two releases is going to be a bit vague, and based on a quick run-through of both discs on my TV (meaning my memory between images might not be the most trustworthy). Overall Evil Dead II isn't exactly the best candidate for a massive HD overhaul – it was shot on the cheap, mostly in the dark, and Raimi was likely not all that concerned with the clarity of the image – but this 1080p, 1.85:1 transfer represents a decent showing, and is probably the best you've ever seen the film look, assuming you weren't present for first run releases.
My biggest fear is cases like these is always is that the people behind the HD restoration will mess with digital noise reduction, overuse sharpening techniques, and fiddle with the colour timing to make the film appear more 'modern'. I'm happy to say I noticed no major issues with DNR, colour timing, or other digital tinkering here. The Anchor Bay Blu-ray had some definite problems with mushy backgrounds and over-sharpening artefacts, specifically edge enhancement. This transfer is actually quite clear, and features an uptake in background detail sharpness, but also appears naturally soft and grainy. This softness and graininess is a bit inconsistent, but not nearly as inconsistent as, say, Universal's Army of Darkness release. The clarity doesn't do the weaker effects any favours, though I found that the obvious nature of the matte paintings quite charming. Colour quality is improved as well, but this is mostly apparent during the brief daylight scenes, which feature rich blue skies and lush green vegetation. Once the film moves indoors and situates itself in a nighttime palette, only occasional warm elements pop – the orange and blue contrasts as Ash leaves the work shed after chopping up Linda's possessed body, or the red of the blood and chainsaw butt – but the most apparent improvement here is mostly found in the more solid nature of the hues, and the more natural appearance of stuff like skin tones, along with some of the cooler outdoor set blues. Black levels are a bit muddy in utter darkness, or when Raimi is messing with frame rates, but are generally crisper than those of the Anchor Bay release. The grainiest and generally weakest sequences are those that feature a lot of stop motion animation, which isn't surprising at all. I'm pretty sure this stuff is shot on smaller format film. There are some noticeable and sizable chunks of dirt on some of these shots, but not a lot elsewhere on the transfer, save maybe some minor jitter issues.
Some fans may be disappointed by the lack of an open matte 1.33:1 option, but unlike the original Evil Dead, this film was really meant to be seen widescreen matted.
This new release features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 codec, which to my ears is a minor improvement over Anchor Bays PCM 5.1 sound, at least in terms of overall volume levels. Though made relatively cheaply, and 25 years old, Evil Dead II is actually a great candidate for 5.1 remixing, despite being originally released in single channel mono sound. From what my ears can tell me this is the same basic mix found on the various Anchor Bay releases, which includes a handful of awkward spreading effects, and is still a centered affair, but for the most part the surround enhancement is well executed, and makes sense for the film. Raimi and his sound designers love playing with dynamic extremes, and the loudest of the loud moments (often accompanying a scare) are heavily layered. The layering leads to some pretty big crowding problems, and some likely unintended reverb. The surround adjustments work best when loudness lasts longer, as heard in sequences of the unseen force charging, the sequence where blood erupts from the walls, or the following sequence where various household items start laughing maniacally. The best use of the stereo and surround channels comes during a rush of abstract noise around the 45-minute mark, and this directional movement works very well. The sound quality during dialogue heavy sequences, specifically those were people are conversing, can be a bit of an issue. The set captured dialogue is a bit tinny, occasionally flat, and incidental sound effects are not always well mixed during such scenes, sometimes overpowering the words with unfortunate crackle. There isn't much in the way of distortion here though, and I assume there just isn't much that can be done with original material. My only real complaint pertains to Joseph LoDuca's musical score, which I'm considering too flat, centered, and generally quiet on the track. I find it hard to believe there weren't any available stereo musical masters available. I could also do with perhaps a little more LFE involvement overall, but there's not a lot to be done with a mono master.
Besides minor improvements in video and audio quality, the real reason for fans to double (triple, quintuple) dip on this release is the bevy of new extras. These start with a familiar commentary track featuring director/writer Sam Raimi, star Bruce Campbell, co-writer Scott Spiegel, and special make-up effects artist Greg Nicotero. This track was recorded way back when for Anchor Bay's second DVD release, and is still among my personal favourites. It's not the most informative track (surprisingly enough Campbell is far and away the best historical factoid spewer), or even the most consistent track (there are some uncomfortable silences), but it's a fun group gathering, and the participants are clearly having a great time watching the film.
The new extras begin with Swallowed Souls: The Making of Evil Dead II (98:00, HD), a seven part retrospective documentary. Fans won't learn a lot that they didn't already know, but there are interviews with cast and crew that haven't previously participated in such things, and the overall production of the doc is top-notch. 'Dead by Dawn' covers the impact of the first film, the flop that was Crimewave, developing the screenplay, Stephen King's influence, and problems getting the rights to the footage from the original film for the recap. 'The Chosen Ones' mostly covers the acting process (and since it's such a small cast, every actor gets a piece), including the fun/torture of production, and casting. 'Dead Effects' covers mostly the trials and tribulations of film's make-up and physical effects. 'Madman Sam' is a general look at Raimi's direction process, and allows for everyone's opinion on the man. 'Re-Animated' covers the various stop-motion animation and prop artistries of the film. 'Method to Madness' covers Raimi's silly storyboards, mass firings of the crew early in the production, and some of the more wacky cinematographic practices. 'Rosebud' covers the editing process, including not putting the film up for an MPAA rating, which lead to the creation of 'Rosebud Releasing', which helped get the film advertising, and the post-release reaction (Richard Domeier rather brilliantly compares it to a classic rock album that future generations will continue to revisit).
Interview subjects include Bruce Campbell, crew member/filmmaker Josh Becker, co-writer Scott Spiegel, studio manager David Goodman, effects artists Howard Berger, Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, Aaron Sims, Shannon Shea and the previously elusive Mark Shostrom, stop-motion animators Tom Sullivan, Doug Beswick, Rick Catizone and Brian Rae, miniature supervisor Jim Belohovek, production designer Philip Duffin, DP Peter Denning, editor Kaye Davis, and cast members Ted Raimi, Sarah Berry, Richard Domeier, Danny Hicks and Kassie Wesley. Notably missing are Raimi and Tapert.
Next up is Cabin Fever (30:00, HD encoded, VHS quality), a five part raw look at the film's production. This footage, which is supplied from Greg Nicotero's personal stash, is seen throughout the documentary, and is available in a smaller capacity on previous DVD releases. It pertains to the make-up processes, and includes some brief glimpses at deleted effects heavy sequences. Road to Wadesboro (8:10, HD) is a comparison trip back to the original shooting locations with filmmaker/ Evil Dead II propmaster Tony Elwood.
From here we come on to Evil Dead II: Behind the Screams (17:10, SD), a Tom Sullivan narrated photo slide-show, and The Gore, The Merrier (31:50, SD), a shorter behind the scenes featurette culled from the same footage, and interviews with Kurtzman, Berger and Nicotero. Both of these were part of the original Anchor Bay special edition release. Things end with the original trailer (HD), four still galleries, and trailers for other Lionsgate releases.
Evil Dead II is fun personified, and it will continue to endure in all the right circles. In another 25 years scholars will let go of the '80s horror basics, start comparing it to Marx Brothers films, and their students will write epic papers on the film's effect on generations of filmmakers. This new Blu-ray release features a decent video upgrade over the Anchor Bay Blu-ray, and a minor sound upgrade (at least on my system, which doesn't handle PCM as well as DTS-MA), but the major cause for yet another re-purchase is found in the extras, which feature all previous release extras, along with a very well made new 98-minute retrospective documentary. Assuming you can find it at a decent price I highly recommend this release, despite the fact that I'm kind of sick of re-buying the film myself.

Two questions...
1) What exactly is digital noise reduction?
2) Why are there annoying YouTube style ads popping up on the images themselves? I'm totally okay with peripheral ads, including the ones above the comment section, but the ads in the images are irritating.

The easiest way to describe DNR is that it's a tool used to cut down on the amount of noise (sometimes film grain) present on a digital image. It smooths the image out, and is often overused lately to erase proof that films were shot using traditional film, which has grain. Heavy offenders are the Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition, and Universal's Spartacus. Objects tend to look waxy, or plastic when it's overused.
I do not see the ads, but hopefully Mal or Tom know what you're talking about and can fix it.

"When I see equations, I see the letters in colors – I don't know why. As I'm talking, I see vague pictures of Bessel functions from Jahnke and Emde's book, with light-tan j's, slightly violet-bluish n's, and dark brown x's flying around. And I wonder what the hell it must look like to the students."
This condition, in which certain sensory stimuli trigger unusual additional sensory experiences, is called "synesthesia." Grapheme-color synesthetes, like Feynman (as well as Vladmir Nabokov), look at printed black letters or numbers and see them in color, each a different hue. For example, 2 might appear dark green, 5 might be red, and 7 may be tinted orange, even though the synesthete is well aware that the numbers are black. Others see or "experience" colors when they hear certain musical tones ("sound-color synesthetes," most famous are Duke Ellington and Wassily Kandinsky); in others, individual words of spoken language evoke vivid taste sensations in the mouth.
This fascinating mingling of the senses was first brought to the attention of the scientific community in 1880, when Francis Galton (cousin of Charles Darwin) described the phenomenon in Nature. He described individuals with grapheme-color and sound-color synesthesia, and proposed that the condition was inheritable (a hypothesis recently supported by work from Simon Baron-Cohen, cousin of Sacha Baron-Cohen).
Galton's work was followed by a brief period of scientific interest in synesthesia, but because the condition could not be observed by anyone but the beholder, it was soon brushed aside as a curious anomaly, presumably the product of insanity, drugs, and/or an overactive imagination. In addition to the questionable neural basis, it was doubtful whether there were any significant implications beyond the phenomenon itself, thus offering little to tempt the scientific community. In the 1990's, however, internal states like consciousness became respectable areas of investigation, and attention returned to synesthesia.
In order to demonstrate that synesthesia was a real phenomenon, researchers designed clever cognitive tests that would reveal their abilities. V.S. Ramachandran, for example, showed that synesthetes could perceptually group graphemes according to their synesthetic colors. He designed a task in which a triangle composed of 2's was embedded in a background of 5's. As you can see in the top box, the numbers are similar enough (they are mirror images of vertical and horizontal lines) that they blend together. In order to discern the shape, one must actively search for the 2's in the sea of 5's. But imagine that the 2's are green and the 5's are red (as in the bottom box). It is now effortless (for most of us) to segregate the two numbers by color, and normal humans instantly perceive the shape. Similarly, a grapheme-color synesthete who perceives 2's and 5's as distinct colors can look at the top array of black digits and effortlessly discern the triangle of 2's.
Another intriguing clinical test for synesthesia, also designed by Ramachandran, takes advantage of the visual phenomenon known as the "crowding effect." If a person is staring straight ahead, and a number (e.g. 5) is presented off to one side, it is easy to discern. However, if the 5 is flanked by other numbers ("distractors," e.g. 3), the average person finds it difficult to recognize the middle number (an effect thought to result from limits in visual attention). Likewise, a synesthete will be unable to discern the middle number, but will still be able to identify it "because it looks red [or whichever color he or she associates with 5]"! Thus, even though the individual is not consciously aware of the number, it still evokes its respective color.
These studies, along with earlier research by Baron-Cohen, have established that syensthesia is clearly a very real sensory/perceptual phenomenon. Understanding the neural basis for this curious interweaving of the senses thus has enticing potential for linking the organization of the brain to perception and sensory experience.
So what is it that differs the brain of a synesthete from my brain, which perceives black numbers and letters as their dreary black selves? What happens to the visual information in the synesthetic brain such that it is transformed in an extraordinary way? In order to begin developing theories of how grapheme-color synesthesia might work, it's important to have an understanding of how the brain processes visual information. (There are, as I mentioned, many types of synesthesia: sound-color, sound-taste, grapheme-taste, texture-taste etc. Grapheme-color synesthetes, however, are the most common subset (representing 68% of all synesthetes), and are the easiest to study, hence this discussion, and most research, is limited to latter condition).
What about numbers and visual graphemes? Lo! Studies in humans and monkeys have shown that the shapes of numbers and letters are also processed in the fusiform gyrus, in a region adjacent to V4. Moreover, numerical concepts, such as sequence and quantity, are processed in the TPO.
This insight has given rise to two neural models for synesthesia. According to one idea, synesthesia results from abnormal connections between the relevant brain areas. During development, the human fetus has dense interconnections between V4 and other inferior temporal regions (, most of which are removed through a process of pruning later in development. Synesthesia may result from a partial failure of this normal pruning process, resulting in excess connections between normally isolated sensory areas. Perceptually, this would lead to a blurring of the boundaries that normally exist between the senses.
This study is the first to demonstrate that increased connectivity in specific areas of the brain is related to synesthesia. It is certainly possible that this structural phenomenon is supplemented by abnormal disinhibited feedback, or that it accounts for only a subset of synesthetic cases, and more studies are needed to support these theories. Moreover, it will be interesting to see whether similar structural abnormalities are present in cross-modal synesthesia, such as sound-color or sound-taste, which sensory centers are more isolated than the adjacent color and grapheme perceptual centers.

If you are not happy with a CPAN module you will have to essentially re-write it ( or at least parts of it )
You can get the code from CPAN or GitHub, find the chunks that you are using ( which might be a pain considering the number of sub-modules it has ) and then try to optimize it.
Also that module does not look like it has been maintained in over two years, but you could try to get in touch with the maintainers.
If you do manage to speed it up / improve it, you might want to submit a patch.
Or you could just try and get the same data in CSV - is that possible?

Washington, May 12.—The Territorial Overland Mail Route between Neosho, IL, and Stockton, Cal., which were let to contract last year, has been discontinued, to take effect the first of July next. The failure of Coiigrc-'B to make the msual appropriations for the 1'oBt Office Department—lhe interruptions of the mails, mostly from the presence of hostile Indians along the lines, and the consequent reduction of mail matter to comparatively insignificant amount, are the reasons alleg- ■ _<1 for tin. fit* FRANCIS MELLUS, HAVING purchased the patent right of the abovi valuable invention, for the purpose of supply ing the counties ot Los Angeles, San Bei*naidlu< and Sun Diego, if now prupun.d to execute ali <n Jers witb which he may be favored. . The pub dc are aware that it has been the study of .scientific men, architects and builders, for many years to discover an article lor Roofing parpdBea, that will witiut.aud jukblo.ii changes ot climate, be impervious 10 water, and of sure protection against fire, The inventor of this roofing labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose mid obviate the dillicuUios of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and tho destruction by the sun and frost of the various compositions used for rooting. This he succeeded in doing, and now, after six years ot tho severest trial wc would invite the careful attention ot all interested in such matters., believing that, they will be fully convinced of its practical value both for durability and economy, in winch respects we believe that its equal is not at present known. This rooting can readily be applied to roofs of overy description, either steep or flat, and can bo put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the lirst and at half the cost of the latter. Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky tin root, will msike it as good as now at one-third of the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated with a. perfectly water proof preparation, after wbich ._. it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of .the cial street Hour of so-ipstone, which sets into the texture of tho canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very eUstic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared, is put upon the roof, another coaling ol niasiio,which is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it fireproof in every respect. Uy exposure, this coating becomes firm anil solid, giving you&rooftbftt can bo walked upon with perfect impunity, and as durable as anything known; and we do most candidly and im_.e-itatin_.lv believe, far superior to anything of tho kind yet discovered; and alter a severe test of many years, stand as reliable and good as when first put on, without change or decay. All that wo ask is, that a careful examination may bo given it. and we feel convinced that it will boar all the i-ecom- membuiou which wo offer of it.

Mr. I.ongworth has produced an article of etunipagne wine which commands a high price, and is much sought arter ; aud Mr, I'ike has sua' cceded in manufacturing a most superior article of brandy Irom the Catawba grape. This liijuor Is pure, and, in our opinion, much superior to tho best French brandies of the BQHW age. But tbo iims-t impo: l.nit iirlicle o! Aiin'riciiii liipiors is whisky. Thu fame of several choice brands has become World wide. "OW Bourbon" and ''Old Uye'' are peculiarly Aineiican Institutions. Mr. J. II. Culler, of Louisville, Kentucky, bas obtained a degree of excellence in the manufueluio of "Bouillon" which l..c-, more lhan anything clua, taken the place of French and Spaulbh brandies, English gin, aud oth.r foreign liquors, of good and bad qualities. It is also chasing wretched, poisonous compounds oat of the market, and saves hundreds of thousand), ot dollars lo the country by iccping them nt home. Whisky is sb much tho national liquor In lhe United Slates as it is in Ireland or Scotland although of different character and llavor, nnd great pains are taken by eminent manufacturers to distil it ns pure and as excellent as possible, In no part of lhe United States will the traveler find belter or purer wines and liquors in respectablu public bar-rooms, lhan In California ; becauso we pay more for Ihem lhan anybody else, and they are improved by the sea voyage and th* ti mo Miandftfl nn thn nassaire.

The wire culture is, however, yet in its Infancy but it is the infancy ol a Hercules, with California for his cradle. It la Impossible to set any bounds to ihe future g'reataoea and power of this Stale ; but a faint idea of it may lie gathered from thu promise held forth iu iie grapo culture alone.— S. F. Herald. Tba War Kcvra, The arrival of the Anglo Saxon at Quelieo and lhe Adelaide at .VI. Johns, place us in possession ol a week'n later advices from Europe. Tho rcwe is ol the highest importance, politically, financially and commercially. The great war had almost commenced, though no act of actual hostilities had as yet occurred. Tbc hopes of peace hung upon a very slender thread, namely, an offer of mediation on the part of England, based upon Iho acceptance of one of tbe two following conditions: let. The immediate, absolute and simultaneous disarmament of Austria, Franco and Sardinia ; or 2d. Tbc consent on the part of all, pending the remit of tbe mediation, to retain iheir arms lu precisely tbe same condition, and to maintain a position, If not of peace, at all events, of inaction. Tbis proposition was transmitted to Paris aud Vienna on the 25th ult. butso lata aa tbe 30th France had not signified ber acceplanco of it, and notwithstanding the report of the acceptance of the offer by Austria, one hundred and twenty thousand of ber troops bad crossed the Ticino, and entered tbe Piedmontes territory.— This was regarded officially in Paris as an overt act id wai .

text: OL Dallas Warmack (6-2 290) committed to Alabama last July but is not ready to shut down his recruiting. USC was among his recent offers and he's interested in checking out the Gamecocks and others. "I talked to coach Spurrier and he wants me to come up there with one of my teammates (Natrez Patrick)," Warmack said. "I talked to coach Ward a lot, about every couple of weeks. I don't know that much about South Carolina but I have decent interest in them. My commitment is pretty strong but I plans to take other visits and keep my options open." Warmack said he and Patrick plan to visit USC this summer. He was supposed to visit Auburn and Alabama recently but the weather interfered. Warmack plays offensive tackle for Mays High but expects to play guard in college.

Emily Brontë died in 1848, aged 30, leaving only one published book and some poems. That book, of course, is "Wuthering Heights" (recently issued in new editions, by Penguin and HarperCollins), a novel so strange and powerful that it sinks into the reader's DNA.
"1801. I have just returned from a visit to my landlord -- the solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country. In all England I do not believe I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society," the book begins, narrated at first by Lockwood, the rentor of a house, Thrushcross Grange, from that "solitary neighbor" Heathcliff, who lives in nearby Wuthering Heights, an ancient farm situated on a wild and wind-swept moor.
Lockwood finds himself drawn back to Wuthering Heights, and, trapped by a storm, is forced to spend a night there. What follows is one of the most intense and terrifying scenes in all literature. Lockwood, drifting in and out of sleep, hears a tapping on the window and sees a figure, a ghost-girl, pushing its hand through the window and demanding: "Let me in -- let me in." Terror makes Lockwood cruel. "Finding it useless to attempt to shake the creature off, I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bedclothes," he notes.
The apparition is Cathy, Heathcliff's dead soulmate, and the novel soon switches narrative voice, going back 20 years in time as Nelly Dean, the housekeeper of Thrushcross Grange, tells Lockwood the story of Cathy's love for Heathcliff, a savage orphan brought home by Cathy's father.
Nelly Dean says of Heathcliff: "I did not feel as though I were in the company of my own species." Yet Cathy and Heathcliff develop a wolfish, almost incestuous passion. They share a bedroom, and dream and play together, and walk the moors together, children of the wind that batters their faces and blows through their hair.
"I am Heathcliff," the willful Cathy declares, but then she marries somebody else, the rich and weak Edgar Linton, then owner of Thrushcross Grange. Heathcliff flees and returns years later, intent on revenge and ruining everybody and taking their money. Cathy dies in childbirth, and Heathcliff calls down a curse, demanding that she haunt him forever.
It's wild, gothic stuff, but there's much more going on. "Wuthering Heights," as Joyce Carol Oates has pointed out, is a parable of innocence and loss, of "childhood's necessary defeat." But it presents too a contrasting tale, a story of education, maturing and affection -- that happens in the novel's present-day frame -- observed by Lockwood and the glowering Heathcliff.
This second romance, between Cathy's daughter and the grandson of Heathcliff's foster-father, thought by some critics and many readers to be but a pale reflection of what has gone before, is essential to the novel's conception. Escape from family doom is possible, Brontë suggests, even though the shadow of that doom will always linger, out there on the moor.
"The place of Catherine's interment, to the surprise of the villagers, was neither in the chapel under the carved monument of the Lintons, nor yet in the tombs of her own relations. It was dug on a green slope in a corner of the kirkyard, where the wall is so low that heath and bilberry plants have climbed over it from the moor; and peat mould almost buries it," says Nelly Dean. "Wuthering Heights" is a beautifully wrought novel about passion's destructive force and the blind power of nature. "There was no sound through the house but the moaning wind, which shook the windows every now and then."
This same wind was described by the great American poet Sylvia Plath, who made a visit to Brontë's beloved moors and the huge skies that loom and lean between Haworth and Ilkley in West Yorkshire. In her 1961 poem "Wuthering Heights," she wrote:
There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction.
I can feel it trying
To funnel my heat away.
If I pay the roots of the heather
Too close attention, they will invite me
To whiten my bones among them.
Years later Ted Hughes, a Yorkshireman, who had been Plath's husband at the time, remembered this pilgrimage in a poem that he too titled, "Wuthering Heights":
The moor-wind
Came with its empty eyes to look at you.
And the clouds gazed sidelong, going elsewhere,
The heath-grass, fidgeting in its fever,
Took idiot notice of you. And the stone,
Reaching to touch your hand, found you real
And warm, and lucent, like that earlier one.
Plath cast herself as Emily Brontë, or Cathy, and saw Hughes as her own stubborn, untamable Heathcliff. This was a story that ended badly, with Hughes deserting Plath, and Plath committing suicide in the bitter British winter of 1963, a warning, maybe, about what literature and love can do.
A new film version of "Wuthering Heights," the 15th, recently aired in Britain. Here in the United States, Penguin Classics has just put out a "couture classic" with French flaps and a lovely jacket by the fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo. HarperCollins, meanwhile, has issued new editions of the book with broody "Twilight"-inspired covers, because the characters read and talk about "Wuthering Heights" in the Stephanie Meyer series.
"Wuthering Heights" is a classic that seems infinitely porous, waiting to be rediscovered and repackaged infinitely. "Love Never Dies" runs the tag line on the HarperCollins edition. Really, the book should come with flashing health alerts.
On a personal note: I was born in West Yorkshire, on one side of the Brontë moor, and I spent my teenage years living in a house just on the other side. I first read "Wuthering Heights" when I was 13 and, every couple of years ever since, I have re-subjected myself to its undiminished beauties and oddities and cruelties. Guns go bang, puppies are slaughtered and weak lungs burst, as Emily Brontë's did soon after she finished the writing. "Wuthering Heights" has realism, and tries to tell us that it is only by daylight and reason that love can survive.
But it is the sickly fevered radiance of the remembered Heathcliff-Cathy story line that threatens to whiten our bones. We long for such passion, and gain it at our peril.

Are the others ganging up agains Google and who are the others? Found this great article (old but good) at The Economist under the title "The alliance against Google" – I know it's old but when large magasines like the Economist start researching and write about topics such as this it can give you a diffrent view on thingsa and often deeper insight.

This is old Kristjan!! What about ASKs "information monopoly" strategy this year?
Or was it last year?

Been thinking about this one for a while, but it may be time for a slight change to the Packers' uniforms.
The NFL is currently testing a new skin-tight uniform, to be spread throughout the league soon (as the NHL did a couple years ago).
Looking at the new protoptypes, and considering the slowly-developing problem of disappearing sleeves, you can see the problem. There's barely enough room for even the Packers' downsized stripes as it is; once the new jersey cuts are unveiled they might be banished from the sleeves altogether.
And that actually might be a good thing.
Here's my proposal: Remove the stripes from the jersey sleeves altogether, and place them on the compression shirts players wear under the jerseys.
Okay, my Photoshop skills aren't the best. But you get the general idea.
Players could then crop their sleeves as short as they like (well, within reason), and maybe we could even create enough real estate on the arms to restore the proper Lombardi stripe pattern:
Plus, the NFL could actually start selling the compression shirts branded as "Authentics."
I smell a win-win.
UPDATE 9/1/2010: Looks like Nike agrees, introducing these Oregon State throwback uniforms to be worn in the 2010 Civil War game with Oregon:
UPDATE 10/17/2010: Now that Nike will be taking over the NFL uniform contract beginning in 2012, this seems more possible now than ever.

A Modest Proposal

I agree with you 100% on this one - I think many NFL teams (like the Packers, Steelers, Bears, Browns, etc.) missed a golden opportunity to "go back to the 1980's" if you will when the sleeves were longer and the stripes were full-length. I think full-length stripes (or a full-size logo in some cases) on the undershirt is a great idea.

Protoplanetary Disks II
Every newborn star is encircled by a disk of gas and dust, like a broad, thick pancake. Most of the material in such a disk will be funneled into the star itself. But in many star systems, some of the material in the disk will give birth to planets. Just how that process works, though, is still a subject of intense debate.
The leading idea says that the microscopic grains of dust stick together to form clumps the size of pebbles. Their gravity then pulls the pebbles together to form chunks the size of a large city. Those chunks, in turn, stick together to form planets. This idea has some problems, but it seems to work better than the other leading contender.
That other idea says that dense clumps of material in the disk collapse under their own gravitational pull. This idea would work only at a pretty good distance away from the star. It could build giant planets like Jupiter, but not little ones like Earth.
It's possible that both processes are at work in different regions of the disk, giving birth to small planets close in, and giant planets farther out.
Scientists do agree that planets are born in a hurry. Observations show that about half of all stars have lost most of their surrounding gas and dust within about two million years of their birth. Since most stars live for billions of years, the era of planet formation ends in a hurry -- no matter how it happens.
We'll have more about the birth of planets tomorrow.

Super Bowl Indicator has predicted stock market trends almost 80 per cent of the time - BMO experts available to provide investing strategies for RRSP season...and beyond

- BMO experts available to provide investing strategies for RRSP season...and beyond
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 2, 2013) - Investors and football fans will be tuning in to the Super Bowl this Sunday, hoping the "Super Bowl Indicator" continues its uncanny ability to predict bearish and bullish stock market trends for the year ahead.
The Super Bowl Indicator (SBI), a calculation for stock market performance based on the winning team, has been regarded as a way to predict a bear or bull market. The formula: when the team representing the National Football Conference (NFC) wins the Super Bowl, the market goes up. When an American Football Conference (AFC) franchise wins, the market goes down. Based on movements in the S&P 500 Index, the Super Bowl indicator has being correct just under 80 per cent of the time.
Jack Ablin, Chief Investment Officer, BMO Harris Private Bank, notes the Super Bowl Indicator worked according to plan in 2012. "It held up remarkably well; the New York Giants won the Super Bowl and the S&P gained 13 per cent. 2013 is shaping up to be a strong year too, we had the best January on record since 1994 and the NFC team - the San Francisco 49ers - are favoured by more than 4.5 points. The Super Bowl indicator is lining up for another good year in the market," he said.
BMO Financial Group has personal finance experts who can provide advice and information on a variety of topics, including:

A lawsuit alleging that University of Colorado (CU) football players and recruits gang-raped two women in 2001 was reinstated by a federal appeals court Thursday. Brought under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the suit alleges that CU officials failed to respond adequately to a long history of sexual harassment and assault by school football players and were therefore liable for fostering an environment that led to the rapes.
In 2005, a Colorado district court dismissed the suit on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence that the school had acted with "deliberate indifference" to repeated acts of sexual violence allegedly perpetrated by its athletes. The appeals court disagreed, ruling (PDF) that there was credible evidence that CU officials knew of multiple prior incidents of sexual assault, that they had "an official policy of showing high-school football recruits a 'good time,'" and that they had failed to provide enough supervision and guidance to make sure misconduct would not occur.
"This is going to go down as a historic decision that's going to change the way athletic departments are run," Baine Kerr, the women's attorney, told the Denver Post. "They will no longer be able to turn a blind eye to what's going on in their athletic departments."
Numerous civil rights organizations, women's law groups, and women's studies faculty joined the case as amicus curiae. The case will now go back to the district court for jury trial.
