Re: The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún (Super Deluxe Edition 2009) |
Subject: Re: The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún (Super Deluxe Edition 2009) by Urulöké on 2012/1/14 20:12:23 Not sure about the UK tax laws, but here in the States when they started counting inventory as assets (ie taxable) it made publishers do strange things like remaindering and pulping - cheaper than keeping the books in stock, which now has an annual cost. So if a book title isn't selling quickly, it may make sense to pulp rather than hold on to or remainder (which would flood the market and likely devalue future super-deluxe editions since collectors would just wait for them to go on remainder too). |

This weekend I managed to finish the dress I'd started in January. It sort of crept into the next month, but I'm still quite pleased that I managed to finish it, and will count it as my January make. Not quite sure how I'll manage to fit something into Feb, but I shall give it a go.
I decided to wear it yesterday to head to a blogger meet up, which Maxine from A Girl I Know had organised at cute little coffee shop, Spout in Leek. It's a lovely place to go, and has room upstairs where Maxine had organised hair and beauty demonstrations.
As seems to be the norm when I go to meet ups, I totally failed to take any photos (I'm such a hopeless representation of a blogger - I never take photos and hate having them taken of myself!) but I had fun chatting to Vic, Sara, Sarah, Rachael, Rosie, Charl, Terri, Sarah, Kell, Kieron, Amelia, Joanna and Beth.
I enjoyed a rather lovely afternoon tea and plenty of nattering with lots of lovely fellow bloggers and we were all sent home with a goody bag containing lots of exciting things from Barratts, Edwina Simone, Lydia Leith and Coulson Macleod. I had such a lovely day but it went so quickly that I didn't feel as though I'd had chance to talk to everybody - here's hoping for another one soon..

Hellenotamiai (Attic Greek: ἑλληνοταμίαι[1]) was an ancient Greek term indicating a group of public treasurers.[2] The Hellenotamiae were ten magistrates appointed by the Athenians (one from each tribe, possibly by election) to receive the contributions of the allied states, and were the chief financial officers of the Delian League.[3]
They were first appointed in 477 BC, when Athens, in consequence of the conduct of the Spartan general Pausanias, had obtained the command of the allied states. The money paid by the different states, which was originally fixed at 460 talents, was deposited in Delos, which was the place of meeting for the discussion of all common interests; and there can be no doubt that the Hellenotamiai not only received, but were also the guardians of these monies, which were called by Xenophon Hellenotamia (Ἑλληνοταμία).[4][5][6][7]
The office was retained after the treasury was transferred from Delos to Athens in 454/453 BC,[3] on the proposal of the Samians.[6][8] From 453 BC they paid the First Fruits to the treasury of Athena, and disbursed payments on the authority of the assembly, usually to Athenian general on campaign, but also for construction (e.g. Acropolis buildings). Some time around the oligarchic coup of 411 BC, a board of twenty Hellenotamiae were given authority over the state treasury of Athens, as well as that of the Delian League.[3]
The office was abolished on the conquest of Athens by the Peloponnesians in 404 BC. The Hellenotamiae were not reappointed after the restoration of the democracy; for which reason the grammarians give us little information regarding their responsibilities and duties. The German classical scholar Philipp August Boeckh, however, concluded from inscriptions that they were probably ten in number, chosen by lot (like the treasurers of the gods) out of the Pentacosiomedimni, and that they did not enter upon their office at the beginning of the year, but after the Panathenaea and the first Prytaneia. With regard to their duties, Böckh supposes that they remained treasurers of the monies collected from the allies, and that payments for certain objects were assigned to them. In the first place they would of course pay the expenses of wars in the common cause, as the contributions were originally designed for that purpose; but as the Athenians in course of time considered the money as their own property, the Hellenotamiai had to pay the Theorica and military expenses not connected with wars on behalf of the common cause.[9][10]

Church Believes Film Got 'R-Rating' Because of Faith Message
What's more violent – a zombie apocalypse or a faith-based film produced by a Southern Baptist church?
The zombies don't even come close to being as scary as the Baptists if you believe the Motion Picture Association of America.
The MPAA slapped an R rating on "My Son," a small-budget film made by the congregation of Retta Baptist Church in Burleson, Tex.
"They told us it was because of violence and drug use portrayed in the film," Pastor Chuck Kitchens told Fox News. "I was very shocked. It makes me sick at my stomach."
The pastor said the church's film does not include foul language, sex scenes or nudity. He did confirm there was violence surrounding a hostage standoff in the church as well as some drug usage.
But Kitchens said the violence was neither gory nor gratuitous. By comparison he pointed out the MPAA gave "World War Z" and "BULLY" PG-13 ratings. And "Jobs," which included scenes featuring LSD and marijuana usage got a PG-13 rating.
"When you look at the facts and see there are other movies that have been rated PG-13 that have more violence and more drug scenes, you have to say there's inconsistency there," he said.
Kitchens told Fox News he believes the R-rating has more to do with the movie's faith-based message than the violence.
"A group of people out there don't necessarily like strong evangelical Christianity," he said. "People don't like to hear that it's this one way (to heaven) and nothing else. But if you are a Christian, that's the message. That's what Jesus said. That's what you have to proclaim. People call us bigoted and then they go on the attack."
An MPAA spokesperson told Fox News that typically they don't comment on why a film received a specific rating. The MPAA said the same rules apply to all films.
"The rating board is comprised of parents who work to give films the rating they believe a majority of American parents would give," spokesperson Kate Bedingfield told Fox News in a written statement. "Each rating is accompanied by a descriptor that offers parents more detail about why a film received a rating – in the case of "My Son," the R rating is for some violence and drug use. The rating is simply intended to inform parents of a film's content so that they can make their own viewing decisions on behalf of their kids; it is never an indication of the quality of a film."
Kitchens said the R-rating is a huge problem because many of his fellow pastors won't encourage their church members to see an R-rated film.
"We were relying on pastors to advertise to their congregations and sell tickets," he said. "That's our marketing strategy. We don't have Hollywood bucks for commercials."
Kitchens said they've tried reaching out to the MPAA to find out what exactly needed to be removed from the film to achieve a PG-13 rating. But so far, they haven't gotten any concrete answers.
"We want a level playing field," he said. "You've got other religious groups and other belief systems that are being portrayed in films all the time without the same kind of criticism and scrutiny."
Dan Isett, director of public policy for the Parents Television Council, told Fox News he's not surprised the church has had trouble getting specific answers from the MPAA.
"This is the type of situation that evolves when you have a completely un-open, non-transparent rating system," he said. "The issue with media ratings generally, is that nobody really knows what these ratings mean. At what point does content move from one rating to another?"
The $25,000 film debuts at a Burleson movie theatre on Sept. 20th and the pastor said they still plan to move ahead in spite of the rating.

My Pinterest Boards (and why I'm bothering to make some)
Posted by kmcg2375 in education, learning community, online tools, social media, university on July 16, 2012
For the first half of this year it seemed like all anyone was asking me was 'do you have Pinterest?'
All throughout semester one, when I asked students about Twitter or Facebook or Tumblr, I was guaranteed to get a few voices around the room crying 'Pinterest!'
It sounded like a cool tool. A virtual pinboard – just make a board on a topic or 'interest' (ahhhh… pin + interest = 'pinterest'!), then add images and videos to it. Always a fan of putting posters on my bedroom wall, covering my school folder with pictures under contact paper, and putting stickers on random bits of stuff, this highly visual curation tool has always sounded promising to me.
I had made the decision in semester one, however, to steer clear of Pinterest. This choice was purely motivated by my fear of taking up another addictive web tool … the first semester of this year was just too busy already to attempt trying new things.
Some questions have also flown around over time about the ethics and copyright implications of re-pinning images without permission, and I confess this made me wary.
THIS SEMESTER, however, I am pinning!
My most promising board so far is the one I have made to collect links for the unit 'Culture studies: Indigenous education' (EDB007):
I hope to engage students in my two tutorials by sharing the board with them and inviting them to explore the links I've collected/curated.
Of course, I could have chosen to share my links in other ways, but they all have their drawbacks:
- on a handout (which is not hyperlinked)
- in a Blackboard/LMS post (students hate and avoid Blackboard)
- using social bookmark sharing e.g. delicious (so far unsuccessful; students don't use/engage)
My hope is that the visual nature of Pinterest, and the ability to browse it socially and on mobile devices, will entice a few students to explore the links I've found.
As far as the image copyright issue is concerned, I think I'll just wait and see if any of these organisations complains, eh? I have done my best to attribute the images, that's all I can say.
Last word:
This slide presentation by Joe Murphy (@libraryfuture) was really helpful for me:
Joe makes this observation:
"Pinterest succeeds at the juncture of the major online and content trends of:
- self curation
- image engagement and sharing
- visual search/discovery
- and social discovery"
In addition, points made in these slides about the potential of Pinterest to expand community engagement and open up services to diverse clients made me even more eager to try using this service as a teaching resource.
Here's hoping my bid to invoke some 'cool' in my classroom pays off!
I give a Gonski
The Federal Government commissioned David Gonski to conduct a comprehensive review of school funding in Australia – the final report was released in February 2012.
I wanted to post here the series of tweets that I sent out yesterday, when Peter Garrett was in Brisbane:
What comments would you make in relation to the Gonski recommendations?
Are you a public school supporter? A public school teacher?
What do you think it will take to close the gap?
Storify – ACARA Senior English subject drafts #ozengchat
On 19th June I shared the role of leader/discussant with @vivimat in the 8.30-9.30pm Tuesday #ozengchat stream that takes place on Twitter.
The topic: the draft Senior English subjects proposed by ACARA.
You can check out the 'Storify' made by Vivian to see all of the tweets from the discussion that night collected in one place:
If you haven't yet found where to download the draft curriculum documents from, here is the URL: http://www.acara.edu.au/curriculum/draft_senior_secondary_australian_curriculum.html
Consultation on these documents ends on 20th July, 2012 (THAT'S SOON!) You can contact your professional association to ask if you can add comments to their response, or lodge your own response at the ACARA consultation website: http://consultation.australiancurriculum.edu.au/ (you will need to register first).
Some interesting comments made during the #ozengchat were:
- That an 'English Literature' (EL) course would flow nicely into university study
- That the EL course did not look significantly more difficult than the 'English' (E) course
- That the assumption is that in NSW, the current Standard course aligns with 'English' while the current Advanced course aligns with 'English Literature' – but this is not at all the case
- That bridging the gap between Year 10 and Year 11 & 12 needs a stronger focus
- That the proposal to organise Senior English into semester-long units seems to align with what currently happens in Western Australia…but we're not sure where else (?)
- That the local state/territory bodies would still be responsible for assessment and examination; i.e. many did not realise that the NSW BOS would still be responsible for setting the HSC reading list
- That English Studies as exists in NSW (non-ATAR course) filled a big gap – the hope is that 'Essential English' (EE) turns out to be like English Studies (or English Communication, a similar course in QLD)
- That English would likely remain mandatory in NSW, and people wondered why it was not so in other states/territories
There is so much more to talk about when it comes to the proposed Senior English subjects!
I hope to have a new post up soon with some of my personal thoughts about the drafts. In the meantime, if you've been thinking about (or wondering about) the curriculum ACARA has proposed, drop a comment here – let's chat about it!


text: TV CliffhangersThe Fall TV Season Begins!Jace Lacob, Maria Elena Fernandez09.15.11TV CliffhangersThe Fall TV Season Begins!Can't remember how The Good Wife or Dexter ended last season? Here are 24 cliffhangers for returning shows—and previews of what's ahead. Jace LacobMaria Elena Fernandez09.15.11 5:00 AM ET Time to head back to the couch, America. The fall TV season is here and all of your favorite shows—from The Walking Dead and The Good Wife to Dexter and Boardwalk Empire—and a slew of new ones are soon heading to a TV set near you. Will you find Ringer to be the second coming of Sarah Michelle Gellar… or is it the second coming of Silk Stalkings? Time will tell, but at least your TV favorites are back with brand new seasons, and lots of plot twists. To refresh your memory after the long summer, The Daily Beast rounds up a guide to the good and bad times of last season and a peek into what's coming next this fall. By Jace Lacob and Maria Elena Fernandez Byron Cohen / NBCParenthood (NBC; Tuesdays at 10 p.m.; returns Sept. 13)Where We Left Off: Fired from his job, Adam (Peter Krause) found a positive home pregnancy test in the garbage and jumped to the conclusion that it belonged to 16-year-old daughter, Haddie (Sarah Ramos). Wrong! It turned out that it was his wife, Kristina's (Monica Potter). Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) finally reconciled; after her car crash, Amber (Mae Whitman) had a moment of connection with her beleaguered mother, Sarah (Lauren Graham), who had just mounted her first play. Where We Pick Up: As the plot skips ahead five months, Kristina is now massively pregnant and bringing home the bacon. Adam is still unemployed, though he'll be forced to choose between a dull but stable job and working with Crosby. Amber finds a place of her own, but it's against Sarah's wishes. Sarah turns 40 and reconnects with Amber's former teacher Mark Cyr (Jason Ritter). Haddie and Alex (Michael B. Jordan) face a rough patch. Julia (Erika Christensen) and Joel (Sam Jaeger) are still trying to adopt a baby … and Julia finds a potential birth mother right under her nose. Frank Ockenfels / The CWThe Vampire Diaries (CW; Thursdays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 15)Where We Left Off: Damon (Ian Somerhalder), dying from a werewolf bite, tried to kill himself, but was stopped by Stefan (Paul Wesley). Stefan sacrificed his hold on his humanity, agreeing to become a "true ripper" again and leave Mystic Falls with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), in exchange for a vial of Klaus' blood, which could save Damon. Klaus killed Elijah (Daniel Gillies)… again. A delirious Damon confessed his love for Elena (Nina Dobrev)—who offered Damon forgiveness—before he was cured by Katherine. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) was shot by Sheriff Liz Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) but brought back to life by the witches at the request of Bonnie (Katerina Graham), though she was told there's a price to pay. Stefan drained a girl and walked off with Klaus. Later, Jeremy discovered his ex-girlfriends Anna (Malese Jow) and Vicki (Kayla Ewell), both vampires and both believed dead, in his kitchen. Uh-oh! Where We Pick Up: In Season 3, Elena—who celebrates her 18th birthday—and Damon search for Stefan, still on the road with Klaus, as the bodies begin to pile up around them, and Stefan finally gives in to being a fully-fledged ripper. Will she choose Stefan, who has gone to the dark side, or bad boy Damon? Elsewhere, we learn why Klaus has lured Stefan to his side, Jeremy deals with the return of Anna and Vicki and how it influences his relationship with Bonnie, and werewolf Tyler (Michael Trevino) and vampire Caroline (Candice Acola) get even closer, bringing their respective clans to battle a la Romeo & Juliet. Cliff Lipson / CBSHow I Met Your Mother (CBS; Mondays at 8 p.m.; returns Sept. 19)Where We Left Off: The mysterious wedding was Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) but who is his bride? We do not know. Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall (Jason Segel) are finally going to have a baby. And Ted (Josh Radnor) pushed the button to bring down a landmark building and will now be the architect of a new Manhattan skyscraper. Where We Pick Up: Once again, Ted is on the prowl for The One, now that his married friends are becoming parents and he's feeling left out. The producers also promise some answers where Barney's nuptials are concerned. Matt Hoyle, CBS / Warner BrothersTwo and a Half Men (CBS; Mondays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 19)Where We Left Off: Do we really need to go over this? Let's just say Charlie Sheen lost his mind, conveniently when his character, Charlie Harper, took off with Rose to Paris. Alan's Ponzi scheme was over so his alter-ego in the mirror is probably gone for good. Jake ate. Where We Pick Up: Charlie Harper has died. Internet millionaire dork Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) buys his Malibu house and convinces Alan and Jake (Angus T. Jones) to live there with him because he's too broken-hearted to live alone. Bob D'Amico / ABCCastle (ABC; Mondays at 10 p.m.; returns Sept. 19)Where We Left Off: As Beckett (Stana Katic) lay injured from a gunshot wound, Castle (Nathan Fillion) told her he loves her. Where We Pick Up: Will they or won't they? The answer to that is revealed in the premiere. Expect to see the return of the 3XK Killer and a new police captain, played by Penny Johnson Jerald (24). Prashant Gupta / FoxRaising Hope (Fox; Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m.; returns Sept. 20)Where We Left Off: A flashback to where the Chances were five years ago showed us what life was like when Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman) hadn't lost her marbles, Jimmy (Lucas Neff) was a teenaged Goth, and Burt (Garret Dillahunt) and Virginia (Martha Plimpton) were free-loaders who didn't work and lived at Maw Maw's house. Baby Hope—gasp—wasn't even a figment of anyone's imagination. Where We Pick Up: YouTube sensation Greyson Chance (was he chosen for his last name?) plays a young Jimmy in three flashback episodes written mostly so that Maw Maw can be sane. Plus: the Chances go to Vegas! Greg Zabilski / ABCModern Family (ABC; Wednesdays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 21)Where We Left Off: Not typically known for cliffhanger endings, Modern Family wrapped its second season with a look back, as Luke (Nolan Gould) edited together a video birthday retrospective for Jay (Ed O'Neill) with hilarious results. But there was a twist of sorts at the very end of the season finale, as Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) decided to adopt another baby, a sibling for little Lily. Where We Pick Up: Pay no attention to the fact that Mitch and Cam's daughter Lily has been recast: while she was previously played by twins, she'll now be played by four-year-old Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. In Season 3, the entire clan heads to Lost Creek Ranch, a dude ranch, so that Mitch and Cam can psych themselves into thinking they're ready to adopt a baby boy, and later they try to see if Lily is ready to handle having a younger sibling; Manny (Rico Rodriguez) has a brush with the law; and Phil attempts to invent a scalp-massage helmet. In other words: just another day for the Dunphy-Pritchett family. Will Hart / NBCLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit (NBC; Wednesdays at 10 p.m.; returns Sept. 21)Where We Left Off: When a rape victim was gunned down during an attempted mugging, Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Benson (Mariska Hargitay) chased down her killer and the corrupt police officer who gave the perpetrator the firearm in the first place. However, the young daughter of the murdered woman—who witnessed her mother's murder—decides to take matters into her own hands and pulled out a gun in the police squad room, shooting her mother's killer and another cop, as well as possibly killing poor Sister Peg (Charlane Woodard), before she's herself felled by Stabler, who appeared shaken. Where We Pick Up: The changes are largely behind-the-scenes on this procedural: Meloni's gone, for one, and the shooting in the squad room (as well as any fallout Stabler experiences from killing the girl) may play a role on why Stabler is no longer on the SVU team. Likewise, longtime Law & Order: Special Victims Unit executive producer/showrunner Neal Baer has decamped to CBS (where he'll oversee new fall drama A Gifted Man) and has been replaced by Warren Leight (Lights Out). Kelli Giddish (Chase) and Danny Pino (Cold Case) will join the cast; Stephanie March and Diane Neal will return; B.D. Wong will depart (he co-stars in NBC's Awake); and Hargitay's Benson will continue on without her beloved Stabler. Robert Voets / CBSCSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CBS; Wednesdays at 10 p.m.; returns Sept. 21)Where We Left Off: The pursuit of serial killer Nate Haskell (Bill Irwin) ended with the dogged Ray Langston (Lawrence Fishburne) killing him, not in a moment of self-defense but in a moment of dark vengeance, after Haskell implied that he had raped Langston's ex-wife. His brutal murder of Haskell (he beat him to a pulp and then threw him off a railing) ends the never-ending cat-and-mouse pattern in which two were locked. Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), attempting to cover for Langston, indicated to Internal Affairs that forensics showed that Langston had acted in self-defense. Where We Pick Up: Catherine will have to face the fallout from her decisions in the way that the team went after Haskell, and things will be more complicated with the arrival of new night shift supervisor, D.B. Russell (Ted Danson, who joins the cast as a regular), a family man and father of four who has arrived in Las Vegas from Portland. Look for Helgenberger to be phased out of the series this season, though she'll appear in most of Season 12's episodes. Cliff Lipson / CBSThe Big Bang Theory (CBS; Thursdays at 8 p.m.; returns Sept. 22)Where We Left Off: Penny (Kaley Cuoco) slept with Raj! Priya (Aarti Mann) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) were on the verge of breaking up because she's moving back to India and forgot to tell him. Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) landed a fancy job and gave Howard (Simon Helberg) a Rolex, which he couldn't handle. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) was confused by the turn of events with Penny and Raj. Where We Pick Up: Penny pines for Leonard who is trying to have a Skype affair with Priya who is in India. Sheldon continues his odd relationship with Amy (Mayim Bialik). Howard and Bernadette plan their wedding. Ron Tom / NBCParks and Recreation (NBC; Thursdays at 8:30 p.m.; returns Sept. 22)Where We Left Off: The town of Pawnee struggled in the face of overwhelming loss, following the death of beloved horse, Li'l Sebastian. Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) was approached about running for political office, and she claimed she has nothing to hide, despite her very secret relationship with co-worker, Ben (Adam Scott). Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) left the Parks Department in order to help Jean-Ralphio (Ben Schwartz) run his new entertainment company, Entertainment 720. Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) received a visit from his first ex-wife Tammy (who will be played by Patricia Clarkson next season), someone so terrifying it sent his psychotic second ex-wife, Tammy 2 (Offerman's real-life wife, Megan Mullally), running for the hills. Where We Pick Up: Leslie has to chose between Ben and her desire to be elected to public office, but her decision will have massive consequences and may be reversed later on in the season. Tom is still running Entertainment 720 with Jean-Ralphio, but he'll end up back at the Parks and Recreation Department after a few episodes. April (Aubrey Plaza), married to "shoeshinist" Andy (Chris Pratt), is now managing his life entirely. Ron suffers through a confluence of Tammys, between Tammy 1 (Clarkson), Tammy 2 (Mullally), and his mom, Tammy 0 (Paula Pell). Ron Tom / NBCThe Office (NBC; Thursdays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 22)Where We Left Off: After Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left Dunder Mifflin/Sabre in order to move to Colorado to be with fiancée Holly (Amy Ryan), and replacement Deangelo Vickers (Will Ferrell) fell into a coma, the higher-ups attempted to find another replacement to take over as branch manager. Which led to a series of interviews with characters played by such luminaries as Jim Carrey, Catherine Tate, James Spader, and Office co-creator Ricky Gervais, reprising his role as David Brent from the British series. But those viewers hoping to find out who would be filling Michael's shoes next season didn't get an answer. Elsewhere, Angela (Angela Kinsey) became engaged to her potentially gay senator boyfriend; Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) learned that she is not the biological mother of co-worker Erin (Ellie Kemper); and Andy (Ed Helms) turned down Erin's offer to begin dating again. Where We Pick Up: Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinki) are expecting their second child. James Spader joins the cast of The Office, not as a replacement for Carell's Michael, but as Robert California, the new chief executive of Sabre, the parent company of Dunder-Mifflin. (A role previously filled by Kathy Bates' Jo Bennett.) His first act of business: leaving behind a mysterious list that has every member of the Scranton branch written on one side or the other, with a line drawn down the middle. Plus, Michael's replacement as branch manager is finally revealed. Ron Tom / ABCGrey's Anatomy (ABC; Thursdays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 22) Where We Left Off: Lots of break-ups! Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) broke up because Derek doesn't like that Meredith messed with the Alzheimer's trial protocol. Meredith's job is on the line, but she doesn't care because the adoption of baby Zola came through and she took her new daughter home to her empty house. But Cristina (Sandra Oh) soon joined her, after Owen (Kevin Mckidd) kicked her out when she revealed she wants to abort their baby. Mark (Eric Dane) decided to "let" Jackson (Jesse Williams) have Lexie (Chyler Leigh). What a guy. Where We Pick Up: The residents are in their fifth year, which means flying solo in the operating room. Cristina will struggle a little more with her decision about her pregnancy as Meredith copes with raising a baby without Derek. The new chief resident (Sarah Drew) has a rocky road ahead of her. Andrew Matusik / FoxFringe (Fox; Fridays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 23)Where We Left Off: Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) sacrificed himself in order to avert a dystopian future in which the universe was collapsing, and used the doomsday device—constructed by future versions of the Fringe team (a.k.a. the alleged "First People") and sent back in time so they could themselves find it in 2011—to bring the two realities together, forming a "bridge" between two universes. He brought the various versions of Olivia (Anna Torv) and Walter (John Noble) face to face so that they can get past their differences and save reality … but then Peter blinked out of existence altogether. Peter who? Where We Pick Up: Fringe's executive producers are keeping plot details tightly under wraps, but here's what we do know: Peter still doesn't exist, which means that the timelines of the two universes have been altered. Without Peter, mad scientist Walter has lost much of his humanity, Astrid (Jasika Nicole) is out in the field rather than acting as Walter's nursemaid, and Fauxlivia never got pregnant, as Peter was never there to do the deed. Rest assured, we'll still see Jackson's Peter in some capacity (I'm imagining with the Observers) and Fringe's familiar trappings—like the shapeshifters and the parallel worlds—will still be around, along with new series regular Seth Gabel, who reprises his role as Lincoln Lee. As for how—or whether—Peter will rejoin reality, anything is possible. Craig Blankenhorn / CBSBlue Bloods (CBS; Fridays at 10 p.m.; returns Sept. 23)Where We Left Off: Jamie told his family he's investigating Joe's death. Because there were dirty cops involved, Frank (Tom Selleck) sidestepped Internal Affairs to get to the bottom of the secret organization the Blue Templar. Frank and his family found the Blue Templar, but when Frank approached Malevsky (Michael T. Weiss) to ask who killed his son, Malevsky killed himself. Where We Pick Up: Frank and the new mayor-elect (David Ramsey) do not see eye-to-eye when a friend of the mayor-to-be's is found dead and he wants the police chief to categorize it as a random act. Jamie (Will Estes) will go undercover and Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) will be investigated for shooting a police officer. Boardwalk Empire (HBO; Sundays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 25)Where We Left Off: So much drama, period. (And period drama.) Van Alden (Michael Shannon) wanted to leave Atlantic City, but received a sign from God that he has to stay, while Nucky (Steve Buscemi) and Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) reconciled and decided to face the future together. The D'Alessios were murdered on Nucky's orders, after Johnny Torrio (Greg Antonacci) brokered a peace between Nucky and Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg). At the election victory party, Jimmy (Michael Pitt) drunkenly railed at Nucky, claiming that he pimped out his mother, Gillian (Gretchen Mol), to the Commodore years before… and the Commodore (Dabney Coleman) stunned Jimmy by revealing his own plan to get rid of Nucky. Where We Pick Up: Nucky and Margaret are living together again, though there are cracks forming in their relationship, particularly as Margaret's son is attracted to fire. (He watched Nucky burn down his childhood home in front of him.) Jimmy and Angela (Aleksa Palladino) are now married, but the constant presence of Gillian in their home is rubbing Angela the wrong way. The Commodore and Jimmy's plot to destroy Nucky takes a nasty turn as the Ku Klux Klan nearly kills Chalky (Michael K. Williams) when they open fire on a warehouse, though that doesn't stop the men from taking the spoils. Van Alden is still in Atlantic City, though he receives a visit from his icy wife, even as he keeps his current living arrangements a secret. Meanwhile, in Chicago, the disadvantages of working with Nucky and Atlantic City are becoming all too clear, as Al Capone (Stephen Graham) and Johnny Torrio receive an intriguing offer. Ron Tom / ABCDesperate Housewives (ABC; Sundays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 25)Where We Left Off: Susan (Teri Hatcher) went to jail for about an hour, accused of poisoning Paul (Mark Moses). Felicia (Harriet Harris) kidnapped Paul and tried to kill him, but Susan saved the day. Then Paul turned himself in for murdering Martha Huber while Felicia drove off, spilled Beth's ashes all over herself, causing her vision to cloud and to drive into an oncoming tractor-trailer. That's when Felicia died. Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Tom (Doug Savant) are finally getting divorced. Gaby's (Eva Longoria) stepfather, who raped her when she was a teenager, showed up, wanting to repeat his crime, but Carlos (Ricardo Chavira) hit him over the head and killed him. Gaby and her friends wrapped up the body and shoved it in Gaby's living room chest. Where We Pick Up: Wisteria Lane's women find themselves dealing with the aftermath of shoving a body into a chest. New neighbor Ben Faulkner (Charles Mesure) moves in to the cul-de-sac and crosses paths with Renee (Vanessa Williams). Mary Alice's (Brenda Strong) suicide is again front-and-center. Jeffrey Neira / CBSThe Good Wife (CBS; Sundays at 9 p.m.; returns Sept. 25)Where We Left Off: After discovering that Peter (Chris Noth) had slept with Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) years before, Alicia (Julianna Margulies) moved him out of their home on the night of his election victory and into an apartment … and then told their kids that they would be separating. After doing some tequila shots with Will (Josh Charles) at a hotel bar, the two headed upstairs to the presidential suite. When Will couldn't get the card key to work, he nearly gave up on their promised "hour" together, but Alicia flipped the key over and walked into the hotel room. Where We Pick Up: Alicia is a new woman, between opportunities at work, sleeping with Will at the end of last season, and starting over outside of her husband's shadow. Peter, meanwhile, is settling in to being the state's attorney once more, and having Cary (Matt Czuchry)—who has some dirt on Alicia—in his midst. Eli is now a business partner at Lockhart & Gardner, though he'll receive a blast from his past, in the form of House's Lisa Edelstein, who plays a lawyer. Reeling from the loss of her friendship with Alicia last season, Kalinda attempts to regain some equilibrium in her life. Andrew MacPherson / ABCPrivate Practice (ABC; Thursdays at 10 p.m.; returns September 29)Where We Left Off: Violet (Amy Brenneman) learned that her medical license was being suspended for six months and that the board was potentially going after everyone at Oceanside next. Addison (Kate Walsh) met a fertility doctor, Jake Reilly (Benjamin Bratt), in the grocery store and rushed to the airport to fly away with him, even though she didn't know his name. Charlotte (KaDee Strickland) suspected that Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) was drinking and took away her surgical privileges. Naomi (Audra McDonald) told Gabriel Fife (Michael Patrick Thornton) that she couldn't leave for Washington with him, but then chased him down at the airport after Sam (Taye Diggs) encouraged her to go after him. Luckily, Fife didn't get on the plane and proposed. Naomi accepted, but they compromised and will move to New York to be close to Maya. Violet left for her book tour, despite the wishes of Pete (Tim Daly), who said that they were through, even though he loves her. Later, Pete suffered what appeared to be a serious heart attack. Where We Pick Up: Immediately after Pete's heart attack, for starters, though it's unclear whether Violet will axe her book tour plans in order to be by her husband's side. Audra McDonald's Naomi may return down the line, but she's no longer a series regular; however, Bratt has been promoted to regular, and will reprise his role as Jake. With the collapse of Oceanside, Addison and the others will pick up the pieces of their lives and begin to form a new practice. A.J. Langer (Rayanne from My So-Called Life) joins the cast as a mysterious new character who has a connection to one of the doctors' pasts. Addison will also be forced to choose between her past and future: will she pick to be with Sam, with whom she's moved in and reconnected, or Jake, the fertility doctor at their new practice, and to whom she was clearly attracted in the season finale? Decisions, decisions.

Block Blackberry access to qmail mail server Is there a way to block Blackberry's access to qmail mail server? It is against my company policies to store password with 3rd party (BIS).. Blackberry's access to qmail mail server should base on username... for example all top management people should be able to connect to qmail server using BB but for others it should be blocked. Blocking the BIS IP address range will not work in this case. (qmail is linux based mail server) any help? |

The Columbus State Community College board voted last night to no longer confine people to two tiny free-speech zones when they want to pass out fliers or share their views on a topic.
The Columbus State Community College board voted tonight to no longer confine people to two tiny free-speech zones when they want to pass out fliers or share their views on a topic.
The trustees also announced that the board has given President David T. Harrison a 2.5 percent raise. He will now make an annual base salary of $263,425.
The board voted on Harrison�s salary increase at its last meeting in July. But because only a few people were at that meeting, the group decided to announce that it was so pleased with Harrison, who took over the helm of the school in 2010, that it has given him a new five-year contract.
Trustees praised Harrison for overseeing the college�s conversion to semesters, guiding the school through some difficult financial times and helping it join a national initiative to assist more students, especially poor and minority students, in succeeding in college.
Columbus State trustees then voted to allow individuals and small groups to exercise their freedom of speech in outdoor areas of the Columbus and Delaware campuses without having to get prior approval. The change was made three weeks after a student sued the school for violating his constitutional rights.
Since 2001, people who want to make public speeches or hand out literature have been confined to two small areas on the Columbus campus. If they wanted to use those sites, they had to ask the college for permission in writing at least 48 hours in advance.
They will now be able to access any �publicly accessible outdoor area� except for parking lots, garages and driveways. Groups of more than 50 also will have to notify the Columbus State police department at least two business days prior to their event.
Columbus State said they had been working on revising the existing policy for more than a year � long before a student sued the school in federal court last month.
In his lawsuit, Spencer Anderson said the college violated his right to free speech when it limited where he could pass out fliers about a new pro-life student group he was forming in July. Anderson said he had requested to use the free-speech zone that had more foot traffic. But he said he was placed in the smaller, less-traveled area after college officials questioned him about his anti-abortion fliers.
Columbus State officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, but said many schools have been evaluating their policies to keep up with changing law.
A federal judge ruled last year that the University of Cincinnati was violating students� free-speech rights by restricting protests to a free-speech zone and requiring prior notification and permission.
Other schools have faced similar challenges.

- - Dwarf Cichlid Suitable for a nano?
Dwarf Cichlid Suitable for a nano? I'm starting a nano in a either 30 or 40 something gallon tank and was wondering if there's a dwarf cichlid that is suitable for a tank like that. In it I will have a school of a small tetra (cardinal, neon, or ember) school of C. Habrosus, and I'm trying to figure out another fish or two to help fill the tank. But anyway I was wondering if there was a cichlid that would make a good center piece fish. I realize the fish I've listed are pretty small and the cichlid would be really big against them but if there's one that's peaceful enough to live with such tiny fish. I know Kribensis couldn't but maybe checkerboard? There's also once that likes to live in shells I can't remember the name of right now that might work. Just looking for some input. I know during breeding would be a problem but this tank will be heavily planted with lots of driftwood and things. |
The "shellies" from Lake Tanganyika wold not work in your tank; they need hard water and your listed fish require soft water. But there are some South American dwarf cichlids that can work. The Apistogramma genus contains dozens of species; some remain relative small, some a bit larger. The only species in our profiles so far is the most commonly seen, Apistogramma cacutoides. As noted in that profile, one male with 2-3 females can manage in a 24-inch tank, 30 inches would be better. Many of the other Apisto species would be similar in requirements. Some might be more demanding with respect to water parameters. My favs are the species in Dicrossus, two of which are in the profiles, Dicrossus filamentosus and Dicrossus maculatus. Auntkymmie has the former; I have had them but a long time ago and haven't seen them locally for some time. |
Thanks Byron I'm glad to hear it could work out without losing fish. Also glad that the checkerboard cichlids could work I love the way they look. I've never seen them locally but have a very trustworthy LFS that could get some for me I'm sure. |
