There's a small glimpse of the gigantic opening chase scene, a few minutes of the latest Bond Girl Bérénice Marlohe, and a bit of time with the show-stealer Javier Bardem (who plays the insane, lip-smacking villain Raoul Silva). Skyfall will open in the states on November 9.

If you've ever worn super-short, cut-off jean shorts known as Daisy Dukes (or admired someone who has), you have one person to thank for them: Catherine Bach.
On the latest episode of "Sunday Dinner With …" we catch up with the actress who played the iconic role of Daisy Duke on the legendary '80s TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."
To mark the 40th wedding anniversary of her friend's parents, Bach is cooking up a hearty Italian meal of Branzino (a Mediterranean fish Bach is attempting to make for the first time), and lasagna topped off with homemade marinara sauce from her guest of honors' garden … all with a little help from her "assistant chefs," daughters Laura and Sophia.
"A perfect dinner for me is being with people I really want to be with," the 59-year-old says. "It starts and stops with my company and my family."
Check out the video to sit in on Bach's family dinner, find out which pop star taught her daughter to belly dance, and see who winds up in a pair of Daisy Dukes by the end of the evening.

Runtal Radiators can blend into a traditional décor, highlight an ultra modern design or accent any style in between. From baseboard style, to wallpanels, to fancy curves and dramatic vertical room dividers, Runtal manufacturers the perfect welded steel radiator for every application. Since Runtal manufacturers an almost unlimited selection of sizes, colors and heat outputs, Runtal is truly a homeowner, architect, designer and heating and plumbing contractor's dream. Innovation in architectural detail, and interior design are no longer held hostage to the "old rules" of mechanical heating systems.
As fuel costs, indoor air pollutants and system maintenance costs continue to rise, Americans are becoming increasingly concerned with the cost of a comfortable indoor environment. Runtal's unique flattened tube design, combined with a rugged all welded steel construction allow for significantly increased heat transfer. In addition, a well-designed Runtal system allows for a smaller boiler and pump and less piping. All of this adds up to a comfortable, attractive and efficient heating system.

The Golden RodTronics Tour Blog 1: Rolling to the Rockies
It was a wild weekend in St Paul. The Back to the 50's Weekend was fantastic with over 11,700 registered vehicles cruising the Minnesota State Fairgrounds all weekend. Sunday over 600 vendor spaces were filled with all sorts of treasures. By 1 PM it was time to head on down the road. The Classic Automobilia Tour from the Hot Rod Reunion to Back to the 50's had been a huge success but it was time to begin the third leg of what we had called the Rod Tour Triple Crown. The Golden RODtronics Tour was heading to the NSRA Rocky Mountain Nationals in Pueblo Colorado.
We decided to get a little jump on our trip to Pueblo and made the 100 mile drive to Mankato, Minnesota on Sunday afternoon. This got us out of the Twin cities traffic and gave us a little time to rest and relax before our long trek west. Some folks washed their rides and did some minor repairs. The Road Tour convertible was running fine and the American Speed33 body with it's easy up and down top was perfect for the great weather we have been experiencing.
Monday morning the participants on the Golden RODtronics Tour gathered in the hotel parking lot in Mankato to begin the trip to Colorado. We were joined by Dave Kopser the owner of Golden RODtronics. He had been set up all weekend at Back to the 50's and was going to travel along with us in his vintage company truck at least for the first few days. We rolled out at 8AM and began our journey. Our first stop was in Sioux Falls South Dakota and the facilities of Dakota Digital. Ross Ortman, the owner of Dakota Digital had invited us for lunch on Monday and the burgers were cooking when we pulled in the parking lot. Already famous for their instruments and remotes, Dakota Digital had grown tremendously over the past few years and has expanded their line to included LED taillight assemblies. We got a look at their production facilities and their building expansion which is just being completed. By 1 PM it was time to journey onward. Our destination for Monday evening was Lincoln, Nebraska and we rolled into town a about 5 PM.
We had been very lucky with the weather so far on the Tours. That was about to change. About 4AM on Tuesday morning were we awakened with thunder and lightening as a major Nebraska storm blew through Lincoln. While it woke many of us up a bit too early, the timing was perfect because Tuesday morning we were scheduled to get a tour of one of the coolest places on earth; The Smith Collection Museum of American Speed at Speedway Motors. Joyce and Bill Smith have been in the speed equipment mail order business for well over 50 years and in that time have managed to collect an incredible number of historic vehicles, vintage accessories, collectable pedal cars, toys and all those things that make any hot rodder's heart beat faster. About 6 years ago they moved their collection into a huge three story facility on the grounds of Speedway Motors. It is hard to relate how massive the collection is and how incredibly all the items are displayed. It was the perfect way to spend a rainy morning in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was the first visit to the museum for many folks on the Golden RODtronics Tour and it was fun to watch their faces as we walked from room to room and saw all the items on display. The highlight of the Tour was when Bill Smith himself dropped by to personally greet our group. Everyone came away with a real feel for how great the Smith Collection was and how much time and effort went in to the undertaking. Many thanks to Damon Lee of Speedway Motors for helping to put our tour of the museum together.
After our visit at Speedway we headed west on Interstate 80 across Nebraska. We drove through a few more brief showers before the skies cleared and the weather got back to Road Tour beautiful. Many of us stopped in Kearny, Nebraska and visited the Great Platte River Road Archway that is actually built over the interstate. It documents the early settler's route to the west as it passed through Nebraska and on to all that laid ahead the hearty souls that set out in the mid 1800s. It was very well done and worth a stop if you are traveling across I-80 in Nebraska. It was time to continue on our own journey as we were going to be guest of honor at a car cruise in Hays, Kansas that evening. Hays Kansas resident Harold Bettis and his pals in the Hays Outlaws but together a special poker run for us and it was lots of fun. Harold and his wife Margret had been traveling with us all week and were great hosts for the evening of fun and food. Many thanks to the folks in Hays who made it a cool evening.
The Golden RODtronics Tour is not over yet. There is much more on tap, including a visit to a wrecking yard that has been operating since 1939. Check back, I will keep you updated.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has the edge over Mitt Romney in three key battleground states in large part because voters find him more likable than the Republican challenger, a poll released on Wednesday found.
Quinnipiac University's survey of more than 3,500 likely voters in the November 6 U.S. election found Obama ahead by 11 percentage points in Pennsylvania (53 to 42 percent), and 6 percentage points in both Ohio (50 to 44 percent) and Florida (51 to 45 percent). Obama won all three states in the 2008 presidential election.
At least 50 percent of respondents in the three states expressed a "favorable" opinion of Obama compared to about 40 percent for Romney, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of about plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
The Obama campaign has tried to portray Romney, one of the richest men ever to seek the presidency, as out-of-touch with ordinary Americans.
A separate survey by Gallup released on Wednesday showed that less than half of adults in Ohio (44 percent), Florida (46 percent) and Pennsylvania (46 percent) approved of the job Obama has done this year.
Overall, Gallup's poll found a majority of people in 13 states and Washington, D.C. approved of the president's handling of his job between January and June, while less than half of those in the other 37 U.S. states approved of it.
Various polls show a tight race nationwide between the Democratic president and Romney as the U.S. economy struggles and unemployment remains high. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last month found Obama's standing among U.S. voters improving amid slightly more optimism about the future.
"The president is running better in the key swing states than he is nationally," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, who added that no U.S. president has won the White House without winning at least two of the three states since 1960.
"Part of the reason may be that the unemployment rate in Ohio is well below the national average. In Florida, it has been dropping over the past year, while nationally that has not been the case," Brown said in a statement.
Despite concerns over U.S. economic problems, just over a third of voters in the three states said both Romney and Obama's economic policies would make no difference to their personal financial situation.
They were also split over whether either candidate's policies would help or hurt their pocketbooks, according to the poll, conducted between July 24 and July 30 in conjunction with the New York Times and CBS News.
"All this matters because half of all likely voters say the economy is the most important issue to their vote, far ahead of any other issue. The saving grace for Governor Mitt Romney is that he roughly breaks even with the president on who is best on the economy," Brown said.
More than half of those polled said presidential candidates should release "several years" of their tax returns. The Obama campaign has called on Romney to release more years of his personal tax records.
Romney has released his 2010 returns and estimates for 2011 but has been reluctant to release more.
Overall, 4 percent of voters in all three states said they were still undecided in the race. In addition, a chunk of voters who did express a preference for one of the candidates said they could still change their mind before Election Day: 10 percent in Florida; 12 percent in Ohio; and 12 percent in Pennsylvania.
Some voters in all three states also said they still had not heard enough about Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and private equity executive: 14 percent in Florida; 15 percent in Ohio; and 11 percent in Pennsylvania.
Only 2 percent in each state said they had not heard enough about Obama.

This is where the On Screen Display feature comes into play. When turned on, On-Screen Display will overlay your receiver's basic information such as volume, input, and surround mode as you make adjustments using the remote.

Solaris, TLA and what's next?
Why would any retail/restau rant/service establishment choose to leave our beautiful "countrie townie?"
"Exorbitant rent, high utilities," he [John Anderson of Solaris] said. "The sales just couldn't sustain the overhead."
In truth, it could have been high prices, the uneven quality of food [per posted patron opinions] or the owner's admitted loss of key personnel, but let's take the chef/owner's own statement that the "exorbitant rent" in the end, was too much.
I'll leave it to you to look up the owner of the Solaris property on the BRT website. In fact, I suggest all residents of 19118 look up the identities of those that own newly vacated properties. Note also that stores vacate after 5, 10 or 15 years; is it coincidental that coincides with typical lease terms?
So, whose fault is it? Do landlords charge too much rent or are the operators inept? Should we expect stores to vacate after they have fulfilled their obligations? Hint: Borders, Banana Republic, Laura Ashley and yes, WAWA followed that model. And when they vacated, none of their landlords had a backup plan, except maybe for a bank.
Thank your deity that some of the longlasting stores are operator owned. Maybe that's the only way that a mom and pop store can survive here. If so, that bodes badly for the growth of new businesses in Chestnut Hill, as few new business plans begin with "we buy a building."
Shopping malls have the luxury of subsidizing rents to some while charging others more. There, Solaris could be recognized as a destination – a store that helps those around it – and a necessity for all. Here there is no such synergy. It's each landowner for him (or her) self, with no regard for others or a coherent vision. The store/restaurant operators suffer and so do the residents, while the owners remain clueless.

Keep dogs on leash in the Wissahickon
The Wissahickon is a major attraction in Philadelphia, drawing users from a wide area that includes not only Philadelphia but also suburban communities, New Jersey, Delaware and even more distant states.
All of us who use the Wissahickon are important stewards of this priceless resource. The thoughtful cooperation of hikers, bikers, horseback riders, fishermen and dog owners is essential not only for protecting the park, but each other and our pets.
For dog owners, it is important to use leashes and carry out dog waste to protect the Wissahickon, the public and their pets. The city leash law applies to the entire park, and this includes Forbidden Drive, the Andorra Natural Area, Carpenter's Woods and all hiking and biking trails. Dog owners may be fined or held responsible for damage or injury caused by their dogs.
Free-roaming dogs that are off-leash are exposed to the deer tick that carries Lyme disease. Lyme disease causes premature arthritis and other symptoms of premature aging in dogs. Free- roaming dogs eat almost everything, including the feces of other animals. Dogs that startle horses may be kicked and injured, but with a leash, an owner can remove their pet from a dangerous situation. In addition, bikers may not be able to avoid hitting a free-roaming dog that runs across their path, and a freely-running dog may be aggressive toward other dogs.

Remembering Suzanne Latham
I wanted to publicly thank Local Life Editor Len Lear for the prominent placement of Suzanne Latham's life and death story on the front page of the Local Life section last week. It was amazing to me how many individuals came forward with their own stories about Suzanne.
We were to have a Celebration of Life service at the Spring Mill Café in Conshohocken this past weekend. However, when the numbers dramatically increased, we turned first to Marlene of the M Bar Lounge in West Conshohocken, who offered her private room at no charge.
In exploring our options further, we decided it would be best to hold the event at the adjoining Theresa's BYOB. Theresa Vendetti Jonas, and her business partner Bedrose Kayserlian, opened their restaurant (and their hearts) on a Sunday morning and served a spectacular buffet. They asked for no deposit or signed contract. How refreshing.
We then walked through a corridor to the M Bar to watch a DVD of Suzanne's childhood that she had put together for family for Christmas. It was a lovely legacy to leave, complete with her soft, sultry voice and fabulous laugh.
Suzanne's sudden death caused me to do a few things. The first, and the hardest thing I've ever written, was to put my obituary in writing.
Then I made arrangements in my will for the location of my memorial service (Morris Arboretum) along with plans for a fabulous meal following the service. I have also made it clear that money for both, along with any travel expenses family and friends might incur, come from my estate.
Finally, I have put together a detailed list of family members and friends who are to go through my personal effects and select something to remember me by.
Again, my thanks go out to the Local for bringing Suzanne's passion for life to the attention of your readers. I think she would have enjoyed the publicity and her party.

May justice be swift
No, this was not a "C.S.I." or "Law and Order" TV show. In those TV shows the ones who appear in them know the script before hand, from beginning to end.
No … this was real life. They knew what, but nothing more. Only through the help of modern science and diligent police work were the crimes solved.
Thank you, all of you, for a great job, for the apprehension of the serial killer known as the "Kensington strangler."
And now … may his justice be swift and his justice be one that is befitting his cruel crimes.

Steger Belts Game Winner in 2OT Win Versus Coker
Senior defenseman Heidi Steger delivered King its first Conference Carolinas win of the season with a game-winning goal against Coker College, Wednesday afternoon.
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Heidi Steger played the hero role in Wednesday afternoon's match against the Coker Cobras when she broke a nil-nil tie and scored the game-winning goal 1:08 in the final overtime session. The win delivered King their first Conference Carolinas victory of the season.
Steger's goal was scored from nearly 30 yards out from the right side of the pitch following a call against Coker for a hand ball, stopping play and giving possession back to King. The Chattanooga, Tenn. native set up outside of the home dugout and scanned the field before gearing up for the shot. Steger launched the ball and watched it sail just under the top crossbar and beyond the outstretched reach of Coker goalkeeper Haley Gibson's hand and into the back of the cage, prompting rush onto the field by the King bench.
The goal, scored in the 102nd minute of the contest, was Steger's first of the season and was unassisted.
|Postgame interview with Simon Duffy
|Watch the game-winning goal by Heidi Steger!
The momentum was Coker's to hold for most of the contest despite the shot count favoring King both overall and in the first half. Coker held possession and won many challenges in the air and on the ground to keep momentum on their side until late in the second half when the tide began to turn.
Head Coach Simon Duffy changed up the lineup when he reinserted Keely Easterling, Jamie Grigsby, Kendyl Baird, and Courtney Long near the 80-minute mark that sparked a turnaround in the possession battle and increased the number of scoring chances the Lady Tornado had. Almost immediately, King earned a corner kick followed by multiple scoring opportunities when Monica Aguirre (Miami, Fla.) sailed a shot high and Grigsby kept a ball in play and rattled it off the post from the right side.
Three minutes later, freshman Kendyl Baird (Boone, N.C.) sent two shots in on the Coker keeper within 60 seconds of one another, sailing one wide left and the other on goal to be saved. Despite the surge in energy, the game was sent to overtime where Steger became the difference and sent King into the locker room with two points for the overtime victory.
Steger led the Lady Tornado with eight shot attempts though her only that landed on goal was the only one that mattered. Jamie Grigsby added six shot attempts to King's 27-14 advantage they held over Coker. The Cobras held the advantage in corners, 12-3.
Abbey Kitts (Tazewell, Va.) earned her second shutout of the season making three saves in over 101 minutes played between the posts. Kitts has now allowed only three goals in four games played, possessing a goals against average (GAA) of 0.67 while totaling 25 saves this season.
Coker goaltender Haley Gibson made five saves while her teammate Jalynn Fortt led the team with five shot attempts and two shots on goal off of the bench in 78 minutes played.
King (2-2-1, 1-1-1) will continued their four-match homestand when they host North Greenville University next Wednesday, Sept. 26, at Parks Field. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.

Linux can be used a real time operating system ( RTOS ) for thermostats, household appliance controllers, mobile telephones, industrial robots, spacecraft, industrial control and scientific research equipment.
Linux is not only a perfect platform for experimentation and characterization of real-time algorithms, you can also find real time in Linux today in the standard off-the-shelf 2.6 kernel. You can get soft real-time performance from the standard kernel or, with a little more work (kernel patch), you can build hard real-time applications.
This article explores some of the Linux architectures that support real-time characteristics and discusses what it really means to be a real-time architecture. Several solutions endow Linux with real-time capabilities, and in this article author examine the thin-kernel (or micro-kernel) approach, the nano-kernel approach, and the resource-kernel approach. Finally, author describe the real-time capabilities in the standard 2.6 kernel and show you how to enable and use them.

I love living in a small town and I hate living in a small town; but mostly I love living in a small town. It is that time of year…you know when lock your car doors or someone will leave a zucchini.
The leaves start to change, the air feels cool, the deer turn gray and its football every Friday night. That's why I love a small town.
Little things make it all worth it. I went to the store and my butcher with the handle bar mustache – we'll just call him Pat – gave me two big bones for Turbo.
I came home and told Turbo, "Remember Pat, the butcher with the handle bar mustache? He sent these bones home for you."
Turbo looks up from his nap and says, "I like Pat with the handle bar mustache! I'm going to name one of my puppies after him."
How can you argue with that? That is why I love a small town.
And then some people I know – we'll call them Des and Tony – recently went to Green River. I don't know why you go to Green River, you might pass through Green River, but go there?
But they went to Green River and loaded their truck with watermelon and cantaloupe and then after they had done whatever it is you do in Green River; they came back and showed up on my doorstep and said, "Would you like some watermelon?" I have never met a watermelon I didn't love.
They apparently hit the watermelon lottery because their truck was loaded to the top with watermelon and cantaloupe and a little dog. I don't know what the dog was doing; he wasn't much of a watchdog; because I took three more melons without even so much as a yap from him.
That is why I love living in a small town; because people show up on your doorstep and offer you a watermelon.
I went to the store the other day and wouldn't you know it I forgot my wallet. "Oh, don't worry Mr. Torres, just bring me a check." Okay, I don't want to state the obvious; but try that in the city. That is why I love living in a small town.
I would rather put nets over my flowers to keep the deer away than bars over my windows to keep the riff-raff out, and that is just one more reason why I love living in a small town.
Once in a while I try walking to work; you know, for exercise. And sure enough about 20 people stop to ask me if I need a ride. Some stop and just talk along the way. That is why I love living in small town.
There is this one lady – we'll just call her Tharla – who every so often will see me and say, "Hey CaveGuy and your too lovin-kinda wife, I sure did like that last article. I don't care much for your funny ones, but every once in awhile you get a good one."
She doesn't realize that I can live two months on one good compliment. That is why I am still alive today. That is why I love living in small town.
I like the fact that when I go get a salad bowl, I usually find a piece of tape on the bottom of the bowl with some neighbor's name on it.
I like the fact that Loren and Abbi drive their 4-wheeler over to borrow an egg and some baking powder.
I like the fact that Lynda brings me cookies at the drop of the hat, and that Melissa made salsa just because I begged her to, and that John brings me tomatoes, and Tammy brought me summer squash, and that Pilar brought cookies to Daniel, and Jeff brought me some corn, and someone brought Turbo home because he looked too tired to walk, and George left my package inside my door because he knew I needed it, and that Stan delivers my lumber into my garage even when I am not there to sign for it, and that my mom comes in my house when I am gone and leaves me some fresh tortillas, and Grandma and Grandpa-O always have time to go golf or run to Blanding for me, and that if I ever drop in at school to see my wife, all the kids giggle and say, "Is that your husband? He doesn't look like you."
Sometimes when it snows I get up and someone has already pushed my driveway and when I go thank my neighbor, he says, "It wasn't me."
It just goes to show if you want to do a good deed in this town, you have to get up pretty darn early.

It took six years for Festival of the Arts Boca to name its first music director, but the selection is no stranger to fans of the event.
Constantine Kitsopoulos, music director for Queens Symphony Orchestra for six years, has conducted for operas, symphonies and plays in such venues as Broadway, Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. He joined the Festival of the Arts family in 2010 when he conducted the Russian National Orchestra and, for festival chairman Charlie Siemon, his return in 2011 cemented his appointment.
"He did unbelievable work with young Jackie Evancho at last year's festival," Siemon says. "He worked with her in a way that was just magical."
As music director, Kitsopoulos will introduce certain pieces of music and lecture on particular subjects, enhancing the festival's educational component. He will conduct two performances, both of them flashing back on film history. On March 9, he will follow up last year's successful live orchestration of "The Wizard of Oz" by offering the same treatment for "Casablanca." On March 10, he will conduct the Boca Raton Symphonia with three young stars of the Metropolitan Opera in a program titled "Opera Goes to the Movies." (Both programs will take place at Mizner Park Amphitheater.)
Kitsopoulos spoke toBoca Ratonabout the particulars of live film-score recreation.
1. Is your approach different when conducting an abstract piece of music compared to something with a story?
I try to approach it from the point of view of the music itself, and to me any piece of music is always telling some kind of story. In the case of a Beethoven symphony, I study the art and the literature and the society of the time in which it was written and what the composer was going through in his or her life, so there's always some kind of a back story.
2. What was your reaction this year to the "Casablanca" announcement?
That's one of my favorite films, and it has a score by Max Steiner, who actually studied with Gustav Mahler. A lot of these film composers of the 1930s, '40s and '50s came over from Europe and studied with some of the great composers. It's a wonderful score.
3. When you're performing for these movies, do you want the symphony to be so integrated into the film experience that audiences almost don't notice it?
There's always a balance you have to strike. Film music is meant to accompany a film. It's not there to stand out by itself. But in a live concert situation, you have to have some sort of balance so that, yes, we're accompanying the film, but since it's such a unique situation, the audience can sit up and listen sometimes and notice what we're doing.
4. With the audience laughing, applauding and reciting dialogue from the movie, are you able to play off their energy in ways you wouldn't at a traditional concert?
In an ideal situation you always play off the energy coming from the audience. When everything is right—when the music is coming out beautifully, and you can feel the audience engaged in what's going on—it's like riding a wave, to use surfing terminology. It's like being on this wave and letting it take you where it takes you.
5. Do you have any movie requests going into 2013?
"North by Northwest." I've done "Psycho" and a program with excerpts from four or five different Hitchcock films, and "North by Northwest" has a great score.

Culver City, CA - November 23, 2008 - Julie White reprises her Tony Award-winning performance in The Little Dog Laughed, the razor-sharp, Tony Award-nominated farce by Douglas Carter Beane. White portrays the brash, fast-talking Hollywood agent Diane, whose client has a chance to make it to superstar status, if only he stays in the closet. A sweet, sexy man enters his life and makes the ruse difficult, even as this new love interest has complications of his own -- a needy girlfriend. But nothing derails Diane in her pursuit of power and money as she skillfully and hilariously manipulates all within her reach. With twists and turns that keep audiences guessing, The Little Dog Laughed cleverly reflects America's celebrity-obsessed culture.
Georja: This was the first time we attended a performance at the Kirk Douglas. Opening night -- with people pouring out into the sidewalks and filling the lobby, all chattering madly in a festive mood -- reminded me of what a small-town theater can be like. It had the ambiance of everyone knowing each other, very excited about a big event coming to town. In this town, of course, that included a lot of star spotting.
Gerald: We ran into our friend and Jeopardy phenom Bob Verini in the lobby, who said he often attends, and pointed out Kirk Douglas in the flesh, adding that he's usually there on opening nights. Among the other stars in the audience were Victor Garber and David Hyde-Pierce. And those were just the ones we noticed. There was a lot of hugging and air-kissing. It was a play about industry insiders, watched by industry insiders. I think that's one reason for the small-town feeling you got. It was a very close-knit group, and they all got the jokes.
Georja: Even those waiting on the sidewalk to get in seemed extremely happy. I don't know if it was because of Thanksgiving's coming or they were giving prizes out, or they were getting "Hot Tix." But I have never seen an L.A. theater audience like this. Maybe also because people were jazzed that this had been a hot ticket on Broadway, with a hot industry theme.
Gerald: This play is a cynical, albeit funny, look at show business. The jokes are funny because the situations are so familiar. At one point, the Alex character ( Johnny Galecki) whines, "This is like a party game for mean people." (Audiences will recognize Galecki from his starring role on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory.)
Georja: Just writing about familiar situations doesn't make it funny. Douglas Carter Beane is truly a funny man. He compares an agent's promise to keep her word like a prostitute offering her cherry. And there's plenty of other zingers to keep it poppin'. (I thought there would be dogs involved because of the title. And that was the only disappointment!)
Gerald: One of my favorite lines is when Alex's girlfriend Ellen ( Zoe Lister-Jones) cracks, "We have no friends, Alex. We're both too snobby for that." Thinking they've maxed out their luck in New York, they contemplate moving to L.A. The action is split between the two industry towns.
Georja: Julie White as Diane, the agent-manager-driving-force-phenomenon-of-nature, is fabulous. She originated the role Off-Broadway, went on to win the Tony, and now jumps into her killer shoes in Culver City.
Gerald: I'm guessing everyone in the audience wishes he or she had an agent like her.
Georja: Yes and no. Grand manipulator of the business, yes. Of your personal life, not so much.
Gerald: Who knew there were handsome leading men in Hollywood who pretend to be heterosexual for the sake of their box office draw? Perhaps the central question is, how do you feel about Diane pushing that cause? Fighting for it? She'll stop at nothing to promote her client Mitch ( Brian Henderson) and his boy-next-door image.
Georja: I loved Ellen's droll character. And, in fact, all the actors, the staging, and the whole package were superb. The Little Dog Laughed is just the antidote for a somewhat beleaguered and troubled society and industry at this moment in time.
Gerald: There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. As with most Hollywood stories, you have to laugh or else you'd cry.
Georja: As long as it's not your pain.
Gerald: Beane seems genuinely pissed about getting rewritten. The plot has Mitch's producers optioning a play for a movie -- which could just as well be this one -- and negotiating and intimidating the offstage playwright -- who could just as well be Beane. He's not only laughing at a situation all writers eventually face, but he's also thumbing his nose at his persecutors.
Georja: True, and the writing is so succinct that it incorporates the life the characters are living into the play they're negotiating about. Cleverly done, with Diane as a kind of chorus, pushing it all forward.
Gerald: Well, do you think it'll be a movie?
Georja: They'll never get Tom Cruise.

Fashion and Batik
Jakarta is Indonesia's Fashion center, home to Indonesia's top designers such as Iwan Tirta, Ghea, Harry Darsono and many more, who have their own boutiques and also showcase their collections in top class malls. Most outstanding and very trendy today is the Indonesian Batik, from exclusive haute couture creations to ready-to-wear, or casual and beach wear, Batik is loved by Indonesia's fashionistas as well as Indonesia's fashion-conscious young generation who wear Batik to formal occasions, to the office or as day wear.
Recognized as UNESCO World Heritage, Batik comes in traditional hand-drawn cotton and silk to modern stamped or printed materials, comfortable to wear for shopping or going to the office, or even to attend exclusive occasions. Jakarta offers the gamut of Batik materials and Batik wear. Besides finding Batik at the exclusive boutiques of Iwan Tirta, Ghea, Obin, Alleira and other Indonesian brands, large shops that carry Batik include Batik Danar Hadi, Batik Keris, Pasar Raya. More affordable Batik clothes and non-batik dresses can be found at Tanah Abang. Another Fashion draw in Jakarta is the Muslim Wear, where Indonesia's designers create fashionable and colorful Muslim wear.
The latest popular Mall of Indonesia at Kelapa Gading holds the annual Jakarta Food and Fashion Festival that celebrates Indonesia's huge and successful Fashion and Culinary scene, that you should certainly not miss.
Luxurious Malls, Wholesale and Specialty Markets
With over 100 malls strewn across the city there is ample choice among malls catering to the high end market, like Plaza Indonesia , Grand Indonesia, or Pacific Place and also those which caters to the Indonesia's burgeoning middle class, like Pondok Indah Mall, the brand-new Casablanca, Central Park and Taman Anggrek in West Jakarta and a host more, too many to mention. But most popular with visitors are shopping centers like the Tanah Abang market, Mangga Dua area for imported goods, Pasar Mayestik and Pasar Baru for selected imported textiles and of course Glodok, Jakarta's Chinatown.
However, if you are looking for something quaint or completely different, then there is the Antique market at Jalan Surabaya, the Art Market at Ancol, the Gems market at Rawabening. There is also birds market in Kebayoran, and along Jalan Pramuka. Jakarta offers a kaleidoscope of goods to shop till you drop, or just great fun to browse.

Judge's seizure and Bush
A few weeks back, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, while on vacation, suffered a seizure.
We all were happy to hear that it was minor and should have no lasting effect on his ability to perform his duties as Chief of the highest court in the land. A few days later, we learned that the Chief Justice contacted President Bush, infoming him that he was fine. With this act, I disagree. First, if anyone should contact anyone, it would be one of his colleagues, a member of Congress, or the President, himself, who should do the contacting, inquiring as to how Mr. Roberts was doing.

Welcome back guys and how are all of you doing today? As you know I have been trying to create some fun and exciting lessons so that when you visit Dragaort.com, you are not bored, or expecting to see something you think I might have drawn. If it wasn't for my Facebook, a lot of you wouldn't have no idea who, or what it is I plan on submitting. Having said that, let me introduce to you this lesson on "how to draw Human Silver", step by step. As you know Silver is from the Sonic game series and he is probably one of the more popular figures. As a matter of fact, he is just as popular as Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles. I have always liked Silver the Hedgehog because he always had this laid back persona about him. His silvery white colored hair and the way he uses his special abilities. The look was fairly simple to conjure up because his style is pretty typical. I actually love the way that this anime version of Silver came out, and if I'm right, a lot of you members and visitors will fall in love with him as well. I guess that's about it. Go ahead and have fun with drawing human Silver. I will meet you back here in a bit so try and stay tuned in. Peace out people and enjoy!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

House of the Fountain
- "Now marched these folk to a great playing of their flutes, and the crystal and silver of their array was most lovely to see amid the red light of the fires and the blackness of the ruins."
- ― The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, The Fall of Gondolin
The House of the Fountain was one of the Twelve Houses of the Gondolindrim, whose Lord was Ecthelion of the Fountain. They were said to find delight in silver and diamonds, and their swords were long and bright and pale. The People of the Fountain of the South, as they were also called, went into battle accompanied by the sweet music of their flutes.
During the Fall of Gondolin, which took place in F.A. 510, they were held in reserve by Turgon, who unleashed them after the Balrogs made a breach in the wall. They made their entrance from the South part of the city and slew a great number of foes. As Balrogs and Dragons led an army who outnumbered them, the People of the Fountain began retreat towards the Square of the King. Most likely, the House of the Fountain soon dissolved after the death of Ecthelion at the Fountain of the King, since there is no mention of it afterwards.[1]

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I have been reading your column. I have read time and time again about spouses getting kicked out of housing before a divorce is finalized. This should not be the case.
My husband and I separated for 18 months when we were stationed in Germany. I had chosen to ERD (early return of dependents), and to also have him remanded to the barracks. I was allowed to stay in housing. They even let me extend my housing when my paperwork got lost. It is very important to work with the FRL (Family Readiness Liaison) and not be afraid to go up the chain of command if things are not getting done satisfactorily.
Also, when separated but not divorced, the servicemember is required to provide a certain amount of support for his family. You can talk to his superiors if this is not done. Talk to Legal, they can tell you what the appropriate number is for family size and the rank of the soldier. Make sure that you find out what resources you have and utilize them.
The Army and military in general are very family oriented. If your servicemember's direct superior is playing "old boys club" attitude, go above his head to the next person in charge. No one wants to get pulled up on the carpet in front of the base commander for not ensuring something simple like family support. Every base commander has an open-door policy.
It is not popular to use this tactic, but I would have done it if I had to in order to make sure my kids were taken care of by both of us. My husband and I did end up reconciling, but I wanted to make sure the right information is out there.
Sincerely, Constant Reader
Dear Reader,
You are absolutely correct. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. It's great to have someone write who has actually worked all of the resources that were available.
Yes, the command should be involved during separation and divorce. However, there are many times that commanders choose not to get involved. In the case of military housing, the spouse should seek the help of other resources that you mentioned like legal services and the inspector general. Some spouses even contact their congressional members for help. It's terrible when spouses have to go to that length to get action.
I'm glad everything is working out for you. I will share your advice with others. Keep in touch when you can.
Sincerely, Ms. Vicki
Dear Ms. Vicki,
I've recently received a random jury duty survey letter (not a summons) and started to wonder if military spouses are exempt from jury duty while PCS-ing with active-duty military? I am from New York and I am now living in Nevada with my husband, an active-duty airman stationed here.
Sincerely, Wondering About Jury Duty
Dear JD,
I did some checking with the legal office on base and they advised that you should be exempt from jury duty because you are no longer in the area. You can use the contact information you received to respond to the letter. This is a very important question, so if you discover any additional information, please write again and share what you've gleaned. It could be helpful to other readers.
Sincerely, Ms. Vicki

New York, June 23, 2011--Authorities in Shandong should overturn a second prison sentence handed down to freelance journalist Qi Chonghuai just days before the end of his term, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Two of three Chinese journalists scheduled for release this month are out of jail. Artist Ai Weiwei was unexpectedly freed from extrajudicial detention on Wednesday.
Less than three weeks before the completion of his four-year prison term, a court in Shandong province sentenced Qi to a further eight years in jail, according to New York-based advocacy group Human Rights in China and Radio Free Asia. Qi's wife, Jiao Xia, told Radio Free Asia the charges were still in retaliation for Qi's reporting prior to his 2007 arrest, which exposed local corruption.
Human Rights in China, citing an online article by Qi's lawyer, Li Xiaoyuan, said the court sentenced him a second time on June 9 for his original charge of extortion and blackmail. They added a separate charge of stealing advertising revenue from a former employer, China Security Produce News. Li's article says local authorities informed Qi in May it had new evidence against him, prompting the latest trial--in which he felt Qi's guilt was already decided. "I felt we were just going through the motions," Li writes. Qi will serve a total 12 years.
"Qi Chonghuai's harsh new sentence underscores that Chinese the legal system is being abused to prevent reporting," said Bob Dietz, CPJ Asia program coordinator. "The release of some Chinese journalists does not change the fact that they should never have been behind bars, and could face harassment at home."
Other long-term prison terms besides Qi's conclude in China this month:
- Freelance journalist and academic Xu Zerong was released from prison in Guangzhou today due to a two-year sentence reduction for good behavior, according to The Associated Press. Jailed in 2000 for leaking state secrets about China's role in the Korean War, he was the longest-serving Chinese journalist on CPJ's 2010 Imprisoned census.
- Website manager Huang Qi returned home on June 17 after completing a three-year sentence for anti-state charges related to his reporting on damage caused by the collapse of government buildings in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, according to Agence France-Presse.
- Activist and online writer Hu Jia is scheduled for release on June 26. Police and security officials have severely restricted his wife, blogger Zeng Jinyan, during Hu's three and a half-year imprisonment in Beijing for inciting subversion.
Sentence reductions like Xu Zerong's are common in the Chinese penal system, although they are becoming rare for state security charges, according to AP, which quoted the Hong Kong-based Dui Hua Foundation. Huang Qi and Hu Jia completed their full terms, but risk joining dozens of writers, activists, and lawyers currently under residential surveillance. Security officials enforce domestic isolation on outspoken activists, restricting their movement, and disrupting communication with the outside world, according to CPJ research.
Ai, the artist and filmmaker unexpectedly released on bail Wednesday after nearly three months of illegal detention, told journalists that he was not allowed to speak freely, according to international news reports. The Foreign Ministry said he must stay in Beijing for one year and report to police on demand, according to AP. CPJ believes the artist's aggressive documentation of social injustice--including the imprisonment and disappearance of other activists--caused authorities to hold him incommunicado without charge while ostensibly investigating him for tax evasion. Ai's bail does not mean he has been charged with a crime, but that the investigation can continue for up to one year, according to China law expert Jerome Cohen on New York University's U.S. Asia Law Institute website.

MindFire needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 163 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
We're looking for a new brand image and site design for our offer comparison site that will emphasize our new internal site search capabilities. The look must be clean, colorful, modern, and simple.
Desired Color Scheme:
Wide open.
Desired Style:
Modern, simple, clean.
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We will be having two contests. 1.) Logo design for "Keycode.com", and 2.) a 5 page template un-coded web design for the website.
For the logo, we are looking for an easy to read font with possibly an icon or design element attached to the lettering - though not necessary if the lettering is attractive enough. We DO NOT want any typical savings icons such as money, coupons, scissors, $, shopping carts, shopping bags, etc. The logo needs to be friendly and inviting to people of all ages. The color spectrum is wide open, yet we prefer to stay away from neon or overly bright and light colors. We also like depth in the logo as opposed to flat, one dimesional type.
Since we deal and present a lot of data, we would like to keep it light, clean, and fairly simple in feeling.
For the website pages, we will need: 1.) A home page design that uses the same data groups we currently display on Keycode.com, but with a new color scheme, some new graphical elements/buttons - possibly nice photos, and emphasizes our search box prominently at the top of all pages. We syndicate our content out to other websites, so the layout of the basic sections has to remain fairly ridgid and similar to what it is today. We will also need variations fo 2.) A Search Result Page, 3.) a Merchant Page, 4.) Category Pages, and 5.) General Info "ABout Us" type pages.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Web Page Design

Although the mixed TAMRA isomers are predominantly used for labeling proteins, the single isomers are increasingly preferred for labeling peptides and nucleotides because they give better resolution in HPLC purification that is often required in the conjugation processes. 5-TAMRA is more often used than 6-TAMRA for labeling peptides and proteins. 6-TAMRA is predominately used for labeling nucleotides and sequencing nucleic acids.
