One of my favorite theatrical experiences last season was One Man, Two Guvnors, a British import that rollicked at the good old Music Box Theatre for 159 performances, three at which I was in giddy attendance. So when I heard that Arts Emerson in Boston would be hosting a touring production of The Servant of Two Masters (Carlo Goldoni, 1743), upon which One Man, Two Guvnors is lovingly based, I knew that I had to take it in.
I had never had the occasion to see The Servant of Two Masters before, and it turns out One Man, Two Guvnors is extremely faithful to its source, in terms of the story, the characters, and the raucous, ribald feel of the proceedings. I'm happy to report that I had every bit as much of a grand old time at The Servant of Two Masters as I did at its British progenitor.
Of course, both Servant and Guvnors owe their genesis to the commedia dell'arte tradition, the Italian theatrical form dating back to the 16th century. As in commedia, Servant follows the framework of a story, with certain set comic bits, or lazzi, but much of the action and dialogue is improvised. There are also familiar character types: Pantalone, the miserly merchant; Arlecchino, or Harlequin, the mischievous servant; Columbina, Arlecchino's lusty love interest; Il Dottore, the blustery pedant, etc.
It's easy to see how commedia dell'arte was able to flourish for some many years -- nearly two centuries -- especially if the original commedia were this outlandishly funny. This particular production of Servant was full of fresh characterizations, high-energy staging, and a delicious sense of bawdy, ribald goings on that were the hallmark of commedia. It was sometimes rather difficult to tell which parts were improvised and what was scripted. So much of the show seemed to be so tightly choreographed that it seems rather unlikely it was extemporized.
But there were also numerous topical bits and local references that seemed rather clearly devised for the Boston run of the show. Some of these were a bit forced, like the reference to one character doing his doctoral dissertation on Make Way For Ducklings. Others are spot-on and appear to directly reflect the fact that the production originated at the Yale Repertory Theater. At one point Truffaldino, the Harlequin character, starts to sing a snatch of a song from The Music Man, and Pantalone stops him. "We're not doing a musical here," he says. "This isn't the ART, you know." Zing. At another point, during a bondage-and-discipline reference, one of the characters suggests that their safe word should be "Pippin." Again, zing.
If this production of Servant does have a flaw, it's that the first half goes on about 15 minutes longer than it ideally would. The business becomes a bit repetitive, occasionally bordering on tiresome. Fortunately, the second half gets right down to the business of bringing the complicated plot to a satisfying resolution. Along the way, we're treated to a considerable number of musical interludes, including a gorgeous female trio and a full-blown opera scene.
The director here is Christopher Bayes, who served as movement director for the Broadway production of The 39 Steps. Bayes and his cast create a world that is fresh, vibrant, and lovingly stylized. Standouts among the cast include Allen Gilmore in the Pantalone role, who has a superb sense of heightened physicality and crack comic timing.
Of course, this production really belongs to Steven Epp in the central role of Truffaldino, the Harlequin character who sets the show in comic motion by attempting to double his salary by serving the two titular masters. Epp is a comic marvel and a very appealing and sympathetic presence on stage. The fine performances from both of these gentlemen are even more remarkable considering both Pantalone and Arlecchino traditionally perform in masks. That both men were able to exude such a strong sense of character, when most of their faces are covered, is a testament to the talent and training of both.
The Servant to Two Masters plays at Boston's Paramount Theater through next Sunday, February 10th. If you're in Boston and are looking for a rollicking good time at the theater, by all means make haste to the theater district and see some masters of the comic, the titular, and the titillating sort.
Two final notes. This was my first time attending a show in Boston's recently restored Paramount Theater. I have to say I'm glad that we have this former vaudeville theater up and running again, but the theater looks better in pictures online than it does in person. I mean, there are nice touches in the auditorium, but you can really see the economies in the construction, including the rather twee and flat wall frescoes.
Also, you may recall that this production, while it was playing the Guthrie Theater, offered patrons the chance to sit in "Tweet Seats," in which they were encouraged to use their smart phones to their hearts' content. I'm exceedingly glad that Arts Emerson did not replicate this policy, and resolutely refuse to patronize any theater that does. Theater is a chance to become fully immersed in another world. There's quite enough in the theater these days to take me out of the moment: people chatting constantly with their neighbors, rustling through bags looking for the snacks they brought, chewing their gum with their mouths wide open, checking the scores for the big game on their phones, etc. I don't care if the Tweeters are in a different section. I'm against any such policy on principle. Turn off your goddamn phones and watch the goddamn show.
Here endeth the diatribe.

In this privacy policy, we talk about:
- Definitions of the Types of Information

- Information Thunderbird Sends to Websites, Email Providers, and ISPs
- Tracking and Cookies
- Data Practices for Interactive Product Features, including
- Addons,
- Personas, and
- Usage Statistics

Types of Information
"Personal Information" is information that you provide to us that personally identifies you, such as your name, phone number, or email address. Except as described below, Mozilla does not collect or require end-users of Thunderbird to provide Personal Information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information that cannot be directly associated with a specific person or entity. Non-Personal Information includes but is not limited to your computer's configuration and the version of Thunderbird you use.
"Potentially Personal Information" is information that is Non-Personal Information in and of itself but that could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify you. For example, Uniform Resource Locators ("URLs") (the addresses of web pages) or Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses (the addresses of computers on the Internet), which are Non-Personal Information in and of themselves, could be Personal Information when combined with Internet service provider ("ISP") records.
"Aggregate Data" is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.
Information Collected by Thunderbird
Thunderbird is software, which allows users to integrate and manage their online communications, including email and other types of online messaging. Each Thunderbird user chooses which online accounts he or she wishes to access using Thunderbird.
When you set up Thunderbird to access your email account, you will need to enter information and credentials for that account, such as your name, email address, and password. Thunderbird stores this information on your computer.
In addition to your credentials, Thunderbird needs certain Non-Personal, technical information from your account providers to configure each email account you use. This includes details about which servers to connect to and the protocols and settings that they use. To simplify the set-up process, Thunderbird tries to locate this information for you. During this setup process, Thunderbird may try to contact external DNS servers, standard autoconfiguration URIs, and Mozilla's configuration database to try and work the settings needed for your account. This may involve sending part or all of your email address, but never involves sending your password. When Thunderbird does this, the parties contacted may retain logs of those requests.
Thunderbird stores other information on your computer, including information you enter in your Thunderbird address book and copies of your email messages. Thunderbird stores this information locally on your computer and does not transmit it to Mozilla.
Information Thunderbird Sends to Websites, Email Providers, and ISPs
Thunderbird includes web-browser-like features, such as the ability to subscribe to and view RSS feeds and web pages. When you use these web-based functions, Thunderbird automatically sends Non-Personal and Potentially Personal Information along with your request. This may include, for example, the type of browser you are using, your language preference, the referring site, and your IP address. Whenever you send or receive email, Thunderbird attaches similar information in the communication to your email provider and to email recipient(s).
Like other messaging products, any information sent by Thunderbird may be logged by the websites you access, your email provider and recipients, the internet service provider you are using, or any intermediary network between you and them. What information is logged and how that information is used depends on the policies of each of these different parties, and is outside Mozilla's control. Each website and service provider determines its own privacy practices for the distribution and use of this Non-Personal Information and Potentially Personal Information. If you are concerned about how a website or service provider will use this information, check out its privacy policy. To find out more about how Mozilla uses this information on its own websites and services, see the Mozilla Privacy Policy.
Whenever you send or receive email, that message is transmitted over the Internet through a connection that is unencrypted, an unscrupulous intermediary may be able to read or modify your messages. You can gain some additional measure of protection by only communicating with your email provider using an encrypted protocol, but this is not a complete protection.
Tracking and Cookies
When you use Thunderbird's web-browser features to access a website, the website may place cookies on your computer. A cookie is information stored on your computer by a website you visit. Cookies often store your settings for a website, such as your preferred language or location, or a unique identifier. When you return to the site, Thunderbird sends back the cookies that belong to the site. This allows the site to present you with information customized to fit your needs. Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name, home address, e-mail address, or telephone number). Because of their ability to store Personal Information, or references to such information, cookies can allow websites to track the online movements of particular individuals.
Thunderbird itself does not set any cookies on behalf of Mozilla. However, Mozilla may sometimes set cookies in accordance with the Mozilla Privacy Policy, e.g., for the Blocklist (see below) or for other website visits.
By default, the activities of storing and sending cookies are invisible to you. However, you can change your Thunderbird settings to allow you to approve or deny cookie storage requests, delete stored cookies automatically when you close Thunderbird, and more.
Data Practices for Interactive Product Features
One thing that makes Thunderbird so flexible is the ability for you to add various add-ons, extensions, and themes to Thunderbird, thereby creating a custom messaging system that fits your needs. The following features show how Thunderbird provides the ability both to obtain additional add-ons easily and to protect against potentially harmful add-ons.
Get Add-ons Page
Thunderbird offers a Get Add-ons page of the Add-ons Manager that features popular add-ons and displays personalized recommendations based on the add-ons you already have installed. This page can be accessed by clicking on the "Get Add-ons" tab of the Thunderbird Add-ons Manager. To display the personalized recommendations, Thunderbird sends certain information to Mozilla, including the list of add-ons you have installed, Thunderbird version information, and your IP address. This communication only happens when the Get Add-ons area is open and can be turned off at any time by opting out of Automatic Updates from the Add-ons Manager.
Add-on Information and Searches
To keep the information displayed to you about your installed add-ons up to date, Thunderbird communicates with Mozilla once a day to update add-on descriptions, home pages, download counts, screenshots, and ratings. This communication includes the list of add-ons you have installed, Thunderbird version information, how long it took Thunderbird to start up, and your IP address. You can turn off this functionality at any time by opting out of Automatic Updates from the Add-ons Manager.
If you enter keywords into the search field for the Add-ons Manager, those keywords will be sent to Mozilla to perform the search, along with Potentially Personal Information (such as IP address) normally transferred to perform such functionality.
Automated Update Service
Thunderbird's automatic update feature periodically checks to see if an updated version of Thunderbird and installed add-ons are available from Mozilla.
This feature sends Non-Personal Information to Mozilla, including the version of Thunderbird you are using, build ID and target, update channel, your language preference, and your operating system. This feature also sends Potentially Personal Information to Mozilla in the form of your IP address and a cookie that contains a unique numeric value to distinguish individual Thunderbird installs. Mozilla uses this information to provide you with updated versions of Thunderbird and to understand the usage patterns of Thunderbird users. We use this information to improve our products and services and to support decision-making regarding feature and capacity planning.
Mozilla does not collect or track any Personal Information or any information about the emails you send/receive or the websites you visit, and Mozilla does not release the raw information we obtain from this Thunderbird feature to the public. We may release reports containing Aggregate Data so that our global community can make better product and design decisions. To prevent Mozilla from obtaining this information, you can turn this feature off in Thunderbird's preferences.
Blocklist Feature
Thunderbird also offers a Blocklist feature. With this feature, once a day Thunderbird does a regularly scheduled, automatic check to see if you have any harmful add-ons or plug-ins installed. If so, this feature disables add-ons or plug-ins that Mozilla has determined contain known vulnerabilities or major user-facing issues or fatal bugs (e.g., Thunderbird crashes on startup or something causes an endless loop). You may view the current list of Blocklisted items. This feature sends Non-Personal Information to Mozilla, including the version of Thunderbird you are using, operating system version, build ID and target, update channel, and your language preference. This feature also sends Potentially Personal Information to Mozilla in the form of your IP address and a cookie. In addition, Mozilla also uses this feature to analyze Thunderbird usage patterns so we may improve our products and services, including planning features and capacity. Currently there is no basic user interface to disable the Blocklist feature.
This feature can be disabled by following the instructions in this article. Disabling the Blocklist feature is not recommended as it may result in using extensions known to be untrustworthy.
Crash-Reporting Feature
Thunderbird has a crash-reporting feature that sends a report to Mozilla when Thunderbird crashes. Mozilla uses the information in the crash reports to diagnose and correct the problems in Thunderbird that caused the crash. Though this feature starts automatically after Thunderbird crashes, it does not send information to Mozilla until you explicitly authorize it to do so.
By default, this feature sends a variety of Non-Personal Information to Mozilla, including the stack trace (a detailed description of which parts of the Thunderbird code were active at the time of the crash) and the type of computer you are using. It also gives you have the option to include Personal Information (including your email address), Potentially Personal Information (including your IP address and the URL of the site you were visiting when Thunderbird crashed), and a comment. Thunderbird Crash Reporter also sends a list of all add-ons that you were using at the time of the crash, and the time since: the start-up of the program, the last crash, and the last install.
Mozilla only makes Non-Personal Information (i.e., generic information about your computer, the stack trace, and any comment given by the user) available in the public reports available online at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/. We recommend you not include any personal information in comments in crash reporter.
Thunderbird's Personas feature allows you to use a theme to personalize the look of Thunderbird.
Applying Personas
When you apply a Persona to Thunderbird, Mozilla collects your IP address, the date and time you applied the Persona to Thunderbird, and the URL you used to make the application as well as the URL you were visiting immediately before that (known as the "referrer" URL).
Creating a Custom Persona
If you are creating a Custom Persona for your own use, Mozilla does not collect any Personal Information.
Contributing a Design to the Personas Gallery
The Personas gallery is where you can browse all the available designs. If you contribute a design or image (each a "Persona") to the Personas gallery, Mozilla collects the following Personal Information: (1) your username and (2) your email address. Your username will be used to attribute your Persona to you and will be publicly available on the Personas gallery. You do not have to provide your real name; you can use a nickname or avatar. Mozilla will not make your email address publicly available without your consent or share it with any third parties other than Mozilla's service providers. Mozilla will use your email address only to contact you regarding your design or to provide any additional information that you elect or opt in to receive.
Personas' Interactive Product Features
After you have selected your Persona, it is stored on your computer. Once per day the Personas service checks to see if your selected Persona has been updated. This feature sends the same information that web browsers typically transfer with any HTTP requests including user agent and your IP address.
We use this information to improve our products and services and to support decision-making regarding feature and capacity planning. Mozilla is an open organization that believes in sharing as much information as possible about its products, its operations, and its associations. Accordingly, we may release public reports containing Aggregate Data so that our global community and Personas partners may make better product and design decisions. For example, we think it is good for users of Personas to know which are the most popular Personas and Personas designers to know how many times their Persona was downloaded.
Usage Statistics
Beginning with version 7, Thunderbird includes functionality that is turned off by default to send to Mozilla non-personal usage, performance, and responsiveness statistics about user interface features, memory, and hardware configuration. The only Potentially Personal Information sent to Mozilla when this functionality has been enabled is IP addresses. Usage statistics are transmitted using SSL (a method of protecting data in transit) and help us improve future versions of Thunderbird. Once sent to Mozilla, usage statistics are stored in an aggregate form and made available to a broad range of developers, including both Mozilla employees and public contributors. Once this functionality is enabled, users can disable it in Thunderbird's Options/Preferences. Simply deselect the "Submit performance data" item.
What Mozilla Does to Secure Data
Mozilla is committed to protecting your Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We undertake a range of security measures including physical access restraints, technical security monitoring, and internal security reviews of the environment. We also have policies in place to prohibit employees from viewing Personal Information without business justification. Additionally, it is our policy to ensure that Mozilla employees and contractors are bound by confidentiality obligations. Although we make good faith efforts to maintain the security of such Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will remain free from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or alteration. Further, while we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent unauthorized persons from illegally accessing or obtaining this information.
Secure Website Certificate Verification
When you visit a secure website or access secure remote content via emails, Thunderbird may check the identity of that secure remote service using any status provider mentioned in the certificate provided by that service. Thunderbird sends only the certificate identification to the certificate provider, not the exact URL you are visiting. Sending these verification requests to third parties is sometimes important to ensure your connection to a site is secure; to help maintain your security, Thunderbird may deny access to the site if it can't verify your connection using the third party. If the certificate is no longer valid, you will receive an error page that states why the certificate is not valid and you will not be able to access that website. The technical name for this process is OCSP or On-line Certificate Status Protocol. You may disable online certificate verification in Thunderbird's preferences (Mac) / options (PC) under the encryption tab. If you do this, none of the information discussed here will be sent to any third party certificate provider. However, if you choose to disable the online verification feature, Thunderbird will not be able to confirm the identity of the website you are visiting, which may put you at greater risk of having your private information intercepted. In this case, Thunderbird will also not show the identity of the website in the URL bar.
Legal Process and Other Disclosures
Consistent with our privacy commitments, we will scrutinize third party requests for information about you for compliance with the law, including those coming from governmental agencies or civil litigants. We may access, use, preserve or disclose information about you only when we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to do so to satisfy the applicable law, regulation, legal process or lawful governmental request of any country, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Mozilla, its users or the public. We will provide notice of legal process or governmental requests unless prohibited to do so by law or the circumstances warrant otherwise.
What and When We Share with Third Parties
Mozilla's policy is to make Personal Information, such as your name and email address, and Potentially Personal Information, such as the URL of the site you last visited, only available to its employees, contractors, and selected contributors who signed confidentiality agreements that prohibit them from using or disclosing such information other than for approved Mozilla purposes.
We also work with third parties who provide infrastructure or back-end services (like content delivery networks, bandwidth providers, and services of an administrative nature). We may share Personal Information about you with such third parties for the purpose of enabling these third parties to provide such services. Additionally, Mozilla may need to transfer Personal Information to an affiliate or successor in the event of a change of our corporate structure or status, such as in the event of a restructuring, sale, or bankruptcy.
Transfer of Data to the U.S.
Mozilla is a global organization and operates in different countries. Privacy laws and common practices vary from country to country. Some countries may provide for less legal protection of your personal data; others may provide more legal protection. By using Thunderbird, you consent to the transfer of the information collected, as outlined by this Policy, to Mozilla or its third party service providers in the United States, the Netherlands, and other places where our distributed, third party content delivery network exists (which is in several countries around the world), which countries may provide a lesser level of data protection than in your country of residence.
Mozilla's Approach to Data Retention
We will retain any information collected for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law and/or regulations.
How Mozilla Discloses Changes to this Policy
Mozilla may change the Thunderbird Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page. Substantive changes may also be announced through the standard mechanisms by which Mozilla communicates with its users and community, such as Mozilla's "announce" mailing list and newsgroup. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand the terms of this Privacy Policy. You should periodically check this page for any changes to the current policy. If we make an update to this Privacy Policy that is materially less restrictive in our use or disclosure of Personal Information that we collected prior to the update, we will provide you with prior notice of the pending update and seek your consent by posting notice on our website or by contacting you using the email address that you may provide to us (if any).
How to Contact Mozilla about this Policy
You may request access, correction, or deletion of Personal Information or Potentially Personal Information, as permitted by law. We will seek to comply with such requests, provided that we have sufficient information to identify the Personal Information or Potentially Personal Information related to you.
Any such requests or other questions or concerns regarding this Policy and Mozilla's data protection practices should be addressed to:

The Lone Star Nationals
Goodguys' Lone Star Nationals 2005
The Goodguys' Lone Star Nationals is now held each year at the Texas Motor Speedway off Interstate 35W, north of Fort Worth. This world-class racing facility is a banked NASCAR oval racetrack, complete with air-conditioned luxury boxes and a huge grandstand--it's also a pretty amazing place to gather hot rods and vintage custom trucks. Oh yeah, the trucks come in bunches, up to '72, to compete for the Goodguys Truck of the Year, both Early and Late--the classes are divided as up-to-'53 (Early) and '54-and-later (Late).
The Goodguys Association made a few changes to the TOTY competition for 2005 by expanding the opportunities to win this once-a-year award nationwide. Representative trucks were selected at various Goodguys events throughout the entire 2005 season for a final showdown. And instead of announcing the 2005 Truck of the Year-Late in Fort Worth, one last area representative was selected, and it will have been announced on the Goodguy's website (www.good-guys.com) by the time you're reading this.
We heard the last week of September 2005 that Gary Brigham's Ice Blue '29 Ford roadster pickup (coincidentally featured in CCT's Oct. '05 "All Star A") was announced as the 2005 Goodguys Truck of the Year-Early. Gary qualified for the award May 2005 in Jacksonville, Florida, at the Goodguys' 7th Spring Nationals. Congratulations again to Gary for this well-deserved award.
The 2005 Lone Star Nationals was a kaleidoscope of constantly moving colorful rides throughout the three-day event. The CCT staff selected our Top Ten trucks of the event picks (can be seen on www.custom classictrucks.com) and shot feature photos of more than half of them. Nostalgic music was heard over the PA system, as well as the musical group Passion, who performed live for two hours on Saturday afternoon.
The 80-plus award-winners were both pleased and anxious to return home after Sunday's awards ceremony. Three full days in the warm Texas sun is about as much fun as many truck lovers can stand at one time. But many of them will be back in 2006--and we suspect so will CCT!

Charlize Theron likes being single for the first time in her adult life.
The Oscar winning actress tells the December issue of Vogue magazine this is the "first time" she's been unattached since she was nineteen. She used to go from one relationship to another — some within a month — saying she found a "comfort zone" being monogamous.

U.S. & World
The 36-year-old Theron dated actor Stuart Townsend for nearly 10 years before their breakup in 2010. She says she pulled back on her career as an effort to save the union when the relationship began to go downhill, calling that "the priority" and that she "wouldn't do it any different way."
Theron is now ready to work with the romantic comedy "Young Adult" written by Diablo Cody and directed byJason Reitman. It opens Dec. 16.

This is the actual Dracula… but it isn't my Dracula:
And this is not my Dracula:
Not this one:
Or this one:
And I don't really think this is anyone's Dracula:
When I apply the ownership of "my" to it, I'm talking about when you close your eyes and think "Dracula," the image that pops into your head is "your" Dracula. For me, THIS is my Dracula:
That, my friends, is Christopher Lee. (Pausing for the appropriate oohs and ahs.) Christopher Lee starred in seven of the nine films in the Dracula series from Hammer Films, from the late '50's to the early 70's.
One of my greatest memories of childhood is my father and I, each Saturday afternoon, watching old horror films on The Channel 20 (WXON) Saturday Afternoon Thriller and Sir Graves Ghastly on channel 2 (WJBK). And, of those old films, my favorites were the Dracula movies.
And, among those Dracula movies, the Hammer films rose to the top. At the time, I probably wouldn't have been able to talk about the production values, or the acting… I would have just said they were better. Despite my age, and my ability to analyze the films and explain what draws me to them, I find myself falling back into my childhood feelings about them – they are just better.
They weren't slow and plodding, they didn't look like they were filmed in someone's basement with cardboard props, and Dracula was what he was supposed to be – a monster. Evil and nasty, and not terribly talkative.
(All due respect, and I say this as a fan of both Angel and Forever Knight, but I miss when vampires weren't all sensitive and brooding.)
I really enjoyed these movies, but hadn't seen them in years. Oh, there have been a few releases for home entertainment over the years, but nothing great or even complete (due to rights issues, I believe).
Then, a few weeks ago, I was told about a DVD set that was out from Warner Bros. called, "4 Film Favorites: Draculas." This is a two disc set, containing four of the Christopher Lee/Hammer Films Dracula movies – Horror of Dracula, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula, Dracula A.D. 1972. The price for this assembled bit of cinema greatness? Around ten bucks.
I was immediately doubtful. First, I'm not a fan of double sided discs when it comes to movies. They seem really susceptible to scratching and damage. Second, squeezing four films onto two discs usually mean low quality. Third, what could I really expect for $10.00?
But, fan of the films that I am, I went ahead and bought the collection.
And I'm so glad I did.
What you get is a pretty straightforward, no frills kinda deal with these. You essentially get the movie and its trailer for each film. That about does it in the area of "extras" on these discs. What makes this set worth more than the cost though is the quality of the films themselves.
Remember how I mentioned there have been various releases of these films in the past? Generally, those releases were crummy, lifted from less than stellar prints of the originals. This set, though, is sharp and crisp, not plagued with saturation problems or muffled sound like previous releases. And, the original trailers? They are pretty cool.
I would love to have a complete set of the nine Hammer Films Dracula movies, but I'm happy that four of the best of these films are collected here. (Maybe someday, the rights issues will be cleaned up and we'll see an entire set!)
(Just in case you were interested, that set would include: Horror of Dracula, The Brides of Dracula, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula, Scars of Dracula, Dracula A.D. 1972, The Satanic Rites of Dracula, and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires.)
I'm not going to go into each of the movies right now, for two reasons. One, tacking on four movie reviews to this is far more work than I want to do right now (yeah, I'm lazy, but I may review the movies separately at a later time), and, Two, it is four movies for ten bucks! Even if they were horrible, that's only $2.50 a film. I'm sure you've spent more on a bad film sometime in the last decade!
But, these aren't bad. They are pretty awesome. Admittedly, I'm biased, and I'm sure nostalgia is playing a big part, but even so, I would not hesitate recommending this set to someone that wants to see some really great Dracula movies.
And, with that, my good readers, Vampire Week here at The Steve Austin Book Club draws to a close. Thanks for joining us, Happy Halloween, and we'll see you next week!

by exercisebeforeknitting
Here comes the Secret Pal 7 Questionnaire:
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand?
Only somewhat. I love Lion Brand Cotton-Ease and Wool-Ease isn't bad either but I won't use Red Heart. I don't mind acrylic (especially if it makes the yarn washable) but I don't knit with anything that is 100% acrylic. Also, even though I'm vegan, I use animal fibers. It's less a political thing and more a dietary thing for me.
2. Do you spin? Crochet? Nope.
3. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in? In some pretty vases that never get used for flowers.
4. How long have you been knitting? Would you consider your skill level to be beginner, intermediate or advanced? I learned first as a little kid but I really got started six years ago. Intermediate to advanced.
5. Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list? Amazon list only has a couple things on it. I'm more of a glutton for my Knit Picks wish list. Email me if you want that. I warn you in advance: it's long and frivolous.
6. What's your favorite scent? (for candles, bath products etc.) I can't say I'm really into scents. I like a lot of things just nothing too overpowering.
7. Do you have a sweet tooth? Favorite candy? Sweet tooth, you bet. Unfortunately (well, fortunately for my health, I guess), I'm vegan and don't eat anything with meat/dairy/eggs. That cuts out a lot of sweets. I'm a sucker for dark chocolate without milk or butter.
8. What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do? Knitting is really my only crafty habit.
9. What kind of music do you like? Can your computer/stereo play MP3s? (if your buddy wants to make you a CD) Anything but country and metal. I love classic jazz and world music. Yes, I can play mp3s.
10. What's your favorite color? Or–do you have a color family/season/palette you prefer? Any colors you just can't stand? I love blue. There aren't any colors I dislike but I admit to being the only knitter in blogland that doesn't like variegated, multi-colored, pooling and self-striping yarns.
11. What is your family situation? Do you have any pets? Married with two smelly dogs (see flickr account).
12. Do you wear scarves, hats, mittens or ponchos? Scarves, hats, mittens, no ponchos.
13. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? I'm currently going through a Knit Picks phase. I don't buy expensive yarn- I'm really cheap. I like washable yarns like Dale of Norway Falk, KP Shine, Essential, Cascade 220 Superwash, Lion Brand Cotton-Ease, etc. In addition to being cheap, it appears that I'm also lazy. When it comes to socks and baby knits, I don't intend to do any hand washing. I readily knit with feltable wool for scarves, mittens, hats, etc.
14. What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? 100% acrylic, poofy scarf yarn, self-striping yarn
15. What is/are your current knitting obsession/s? I'd have to say either baby sweaters or mittens. Maybe socks. I'm just looking below at old blog posts and that seems to cover it.
16. What is/are your favorite item/s to knit? It depends on the season, my mood and how cold I am!
17. What are you knitting right now? A blue baby sweater (see picture below).
18. Do you like to receive handmade gifts? Yes!
19. Do you prefer straight or circular needles? Straight. I know it means sewing (which I dislike), but I like the feel of straight needles better than circs.
20. Bamboo, aluminum, plastic? Bamboo or any kind of wooden needles.
21. Do you own a yarn winder and/or swift? Nope.
22. How did you learn to knit? My mom taught me when I was 6 but my little brother taught me when I grew up.
23. How old is your oldest UFO? Oldest UFO that I haven't abandoned entirely? Probably a year.
24. What is your favorite animated character or a favorite animal/bird? I love dogs and I wish I could adopt ten. I don't watch TV so I couldn't name any animated characters.
25. What is your favorite holiday? July 4th because there are lots and lots of fresh tomatoes around then. I could live a happy life with only fresh tomatoes to eat.
26. Is there anything that you collect? Bad habits? No, not much else.
27. What knitting magazine subscriptions do you have? None. I never buy mags. Occasionally a Phildar one but it's pretty rare. When I started knitting, I went a little nuts on books and now I'm not really pattern-deficient!
28. Any books, yarns, needles or patterns out there you are dying to get your hands on? Not really (see above). I have a pretty decent collection of books and more size 8 needles than I'd care to admit. I'm always game for yarn. 🙂
29. Are there any new techniques you'd like to learn? Steeking. I'm way too scared to actually try it without adult supervision. Maybe in another lifetime. Besides, my fair isle knitting is confined to small projects like mittens, hats and socks.
30. Are you a sock knitter? What are your foot measurements? I love socks. I'm sort of a slow sock knitter. I didn't know what to measure so here are three different spots:
Around lower part of calf: 11″
Around ankle: 8.25″
Length from heel to toe: 8.75″
31. When is your birthday? (mm/dd) 12/03

Electrolyte panel, Lytes, sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), carbon dioxide (CO2)
This test measures the main electrolytes in your body: sodium, chloride, potassium, and carbon dioxide.
The cells in your body carefully balance fluids and electrolytes, which are electrically charged minerals. Electrolytes move fluid in and out of your cells. They carry nutrients into the cells and waste products back out. Electrolytes also help keep your water level normal and your pH level stable. In other words, they help the acids and bases in your blood stay in balance.
Electrolytes in blood and tissues are in the form of salts. You get electrolytes from the food you eat and fluids you drink.
You may need this test if you feel confused, nauseated, and weak. These are often signs that your body's electrolytes may be out of balance.
If you are in the hospital, your healthcare provider may order an electrolyte panel to help make a diagnosis or rule out other problems. You may also need this test if your healthcare provider wants to monitor your treatment for another condition. For example, heart failure can cause an electrolyte imbalance, so patients in the hospital for heart failure may have this test to see whether treatment is working.
You may also have this test if you have:
Heart disease
Nerve damage
Muscle problems
Cancer treatment
Chronic kidney disease
You may also have your electrolytes tested if you're taking diuretics or other medicines that cause you to have increased urination.
Your healthcare provider may also order this test if you collapse while playing sports or exercising, or if you are hospitalized for a heat-related illness. Because you lose electrolytes as you sweat, dehydration can sometimes lead to a dangerous electrolyte imbalance.
Your healthcare provider may also order a urine test for chloride, a blood test for glucose, or a basic urinalysis. If you've had a heart attack, you may also get an electrocardiogram, or EKG, along with an electrolyte test. Your healthcare provider may also order other blood tests to see how well your kidneys are working.
Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, the method used for the test, and other things. Your test results may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you.
Each part of an electrolyte panel checks for a different dissolved salt, or electrolyte. Results differ depending on your age and health.
Results are given in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Here are the normal ranges for each type of electrolyte in blood:
Adults: 3.5 to 5 mEq/L
Children: 3.4 to 4.7 mEq/L
Infants: 4.1 to 5.3 mEq/L
Newborns: 3.9 to 5.9 mEq/L
If your potassium levels are too high or too low, you may be in danger of shock or a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm.
Adults: 98 to 106 mEq/L
Children: 90 to 110 mEq/L
Newborn: 96 to 106 mEq/L
Premature infant: 95 to 110 mEq/L
Adults: 136 to 145 mEq/L
Adults over age 90: 132 to 146 mEq/L
Children: 138 to 146 mEq/L
Premature infants at 48 hours: 128 to 148 mEq/L
Newborns: 133 to 146 mEq/L
Adults: 23 to 30 mEq/L
Children: 20 to 28 mEq/L
Infants: 20 to 28 mEq/L
Newborns: 13 to 22 mEq/L
Your electrolytes can be checked with either a blood or urine test. The blood test is done with a blood sample. A needle is used to draw blood from a vein in your arm or hand. For a urine test, you provide a urine sample in a specimen container.
Having a blood test with a needle carries some risks. These include bleeding, infection, bruising, and feeling lightheaded. When the needle pricks your arm or hand, you may feel a slight sting or pain. Afterward, the site may be sore.
A urine test poses no known risks.
The amount of fluid you drink or lose can affect your test results. Results can also be affected by vomiting, having diarrhea, or sweating a lot from exercise.
Some medicines, such as those used to lower high blood pressure or reduce stomach acid, can cause electrolyte problems.
Ask your healthcare provider whether you need to stop eating certain foods or taking certain medicines before this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

MUD is 30: happy birthday!
This blog post is going to be so short that it is the kind if things that I usually only talk about on FriendFeed, but end up not blogging about. But then, reading the few things about the issue that were written, and feeling the overall tone, I decided that, even if small (due to my own time constraints, the theme is good enough to write a book), this is a blog post I had to write.
MUD is 30 years old today. What is MUD? Why is this an important theme? Well, MUD is the percursor and the father of Virtual Worlds and MMO's. Without MUD, there would be no Selva, no WoW, no Second Life. But more than historical influence, MUDs really created the way Virtual Worlds are architectured today.
So, happy birthday!

This quilt was made for my niece, Kerina, back in 1995. A lovely child and a lovely young woman. Check out her website: Makeup By Kerina.
The quilt uses the grandmother's fan block done using Christmas fabric/colors. I pieced the quilt, but had Scottie Brooks do the hand quilting for me. The quilt measures 72 in X 90 in.
As with my first quilt, I failed to take photos, but Kerina sent these to me. It turned out to be an "in-between" size as twin quilts are usually 65 in x 88 in and double bed-size quilts are 80 in X 88 in.
Here you can see the Nutcrackers which give the quilt it's name.
Here is a view of the back which shows some of Scottie's beautiful quilting.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Jessica Moore (Sutter, Calif.) threw a one-hit shutout as Team USA blanked Australia, 4-0, Friday night at the General Tire World Cup of Softball VIII the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today. The Americans registered six hits against the Australians, as Lauren Gibson (Pasadena, Md.) led the way with a 1-for-3 performance, a run scored and two runs driven in. Michelle Moultrie (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Amanda Chidester (Allen Park, Mich.) also went 1-for-3, while Kourtney Salvarola (Arnold, Md.) went 1-for-2 with a run scored.
"The defense behind me did an amazing job," said Moore. "They came up with some clutch plays against a tough Australian team."
Team USA opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning after Salvarola and Moultrie reached on back-to-back singles. Taylor Hoagland (Flower Mound, Texas) sacrificed the runners into scoring position before Gibson's two-RBI single to right field gave the United States a 2-0 lead. Gibson stole second before coming around to score on a Valerie Arioto (Pleasanton, Calif.) double. Arioto later scored on a single from Nicole Hudson (Webb City, Mo.) as Team USA led 4-0 after three.
Team Australia threatened in the fourth as Stacey Porter led off with a walk and moved to second on a ground out. After Jodie Bowering reached on the second walk of the inning, Moore got out of the inning on a fielder's choice.
"We got off to a slow start, but we kept attacking the ball at the plate," said Gibson. "We did a good job of producing in the third inning, but we had a couple other chances to score a couple more runs. We came out ready to play today and our intensity stayed up throughout all seven innings."
After sitting the Americans down in order in the bottom of the fourth, the Australians tried to extend the momentum into the fifth. A leadoff single from Stacey McManus put a runner aboard before an error on a fielder's choice gave Team Australia runners at first and second with no outs. Moore worked out of the jam, retiring two of the inning's three outs via strikeout and not allowing Australia to capitalize in the inning.
Australian pitcher Kaia Parnaby managed to shut down the Team USA offense after entering the game at the start of the fourth inning. Parnaby pitched the final three innings and allowed no hits and just one walk. Vanessa Stokes garnered the loss for Australia. Stokes allowed the four earned runs on five hits and one walk.
Moore went the distance for Team USA, holding Australia to just one hit and two walks. She struck out four.
The USA Softball Women's National team will return to World Cup action on Saturday evening with a match up against reigning International Softball Federation (ISF) World Champion Japan at 8 p.m. CT. For more information visit USASoftball.com.
Other action at the General Tire World Cup:
Game 1: Canada 13, Puerto Rico 3 (4 innings)
Canada scored nine runs in the second inning en route to a 13-3 run-rule win over Puerto Rico Friday afternoon. Leadoff hitter Joey Lye led Canada with a 3-for-3 performance and scored three runs.
Puerto Rico took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first as Dayanira Diaz scored on a Charlise Castro sacrifice fly. They later added two runs in the third as Aisha Figueroa reached on a single and came around to score on a two-run home run by Nicole Osterman.
Canadian starting pitcher Melissa Demore went three innings, allowing the three runs on three hits and one walk. Sara Growenewegen pitched the final inning, allowing two hits. Puerto Rico's trio of pitchers allowed the 13 runs on eight hits and eight walks. Lissette Garay picked up the loss for Puerto Rico.
Game 2: Canada 2, Japan 1
Natalie Wideman's RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning gave Canada a 2-1 over Japan on Friday afternoon. Pinch runner Erika Polidori scored the winning run after Kelsey Haberl reached on a single to start the inning. Sara Hopwood's sacrifice bunt moved Polidori to second before Wideman's line drive went to wall in left to end the game.
Canada took an early 1-0 in third when Wideman scored on an RBI single from Caitlin Lever. Team Japan responded in the fifth as Sonoka Kunyoshi scored on a fielding error.
Sara Plourde earned the win in relief after coming in for Jenna Caira in the fifth. Plourde kept the Japanese in check, allowing no hits and just one walk in 2.2 innings pitched. Caira allowed the one unearned run on four hits and one walk.
Nana Okamura pitched 2.1 innings in the loss for Japan. She allowed the winning run in the seventh and three hits. Team Japan's starting pitcher Kana Nakano went four innings, allowing one run on three hits.

Banoffee Cake
Banoffee Cake
Serves 10-12
For the cake:
225g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
170g Demerara sugar
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
225ml vegetable oil (or olive oil)
For the toffee icing:
220g Demerara sugar
60g butter
60ml milk
240g icing sugar, sieved
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
banana chips, to decorate (or a sprinkling of cocoa)
Preheat the oven to 180oc/fan oven 160oc/Gas mark 4. Butter a 23cm springform tin and dust with flour or Demerara sugar.
Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high with an electric mixer until thickened and light in colour. Fold in the mashed banana and vanilla. Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while still mixing.
Add the flour mixture and mix on a low speed, taking care not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Cool fully on a rack before icing.
To make the icing, place the sugar, butter and milk into a pan over a high heat. Stir everything well and bring to the boil. Keep stirring and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and beat in half of the icing sugar. Allow to cool slightly, then add the vanilla and the rest of the icing sugar. Beat well until it thickens.
Spread the icing over the cake straightaway, as the icing will harden slightly. Top with banana chips or a sprinkling of cocoa.

Sounds completely suss, I know.. but trust me, they're G.O.O.D.
I know balls like these are normally kept for Christmas time, and admittedly I did first make these for Christmas, but they're just too yummy not to share.. I'm re-classifying them into the 'Everyday' food group. I have no idea where I got the recipe now, but take it and cherish it.
Here's what you'll need:
– 1 x 250g packet of Gingernut Biscuits (or ginger flavoured biscuits??)
– 1.5 cups of shredded (desiccated) coconut
– 125g chopped, roasted macadamias
– Glace ginger (or naked ginger).. as much or little as you like chopped finely
– 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 60g unsalted butter
– 1 tbs golden syrup
– extra coconut to coat balls
Step 1.
Pulse Gingernuts in a food processor until crushed. Transfer them to a bowl with the chopped macadamias, coconut, and chopped glace ginger and mix. In a small saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and golden syrup. Stir over a low heat until the butter has melted.
Step 2.
Pour the condensed milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Step 3.
Roll teaspoon-full amounts of mixture in your hands to form balls, and roll in the coconut. Make sure you refrigerate the balls for a few hours before eating them.
That's all there is to it. Easy as! ;)

WASHINGTON Central Intelligence Agency officials will not face criminal charges for the destruction of dozens of videotapes depicting the brutal interrogation of terrorism suspects, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
After a closely watched investigation of nearly three years, the decision by a special federal prosecutor is the latest example of Justice Department officials' declining to seek criminal penalties for some of the controversial episodes in the C.I.A.'s now defunct detention and interrogation program. The destruction of the tapes, in particular, was seen as so striking that the Bush administration itself launched the special investigation after the action was publicly disclosed.
Government officials said Tuesday that the special prosecutor, John H. Durham, could still decide to charge current and former C.I.A. officers and lawyers with making false statements to a grand jury over the course of the investigation, which began in January 2008.
In addition, the prosecutor has yet to close another aspect of his investigation, focused on the death or abuse of detainees in the hands of C.I.A. officers who used tactics that had not been approved by the Justice Department.
"The investigation is ongoing," said Tom Carson, a spokesman for Mr. Durham.
Justice Department officials provided no details of Mr. Durham's decision. However, one impediment to the case was that the officials who destroyed the tapes claimed to have gotten approvals from C.I.A. lawyers. Similar claims have also posed obstacles to investigating the Bush administration's use of brutal interrogations and secret prisons in the years immediately following the Sept. 11 attacks.
The key figure in the tape destruction incident was Jose A. Rodriguez Jr., the former head of the agency's clandestine service. In November 2005, he ordered his staff to destroy tapes of the interrogations of Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the first two detainees held in secret overseas prisons. The tapes had been kept in a safe in the agency's station in Thailand, the country in which the interrogations were conducted in 2002.
According to current and former government officials, Mr. Rodriguez told his superiors that two lawyers inside the C.I.A.'s clandestine service, Robert Eatinger and Steven Hermes, had signed off on his order to destroy the tapes.
Internal C.I.A. e-mails, released earlier this year in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union, showed that Mr. Rodriguez had argued that "the heat" agency officials would take over destroying the tapes "is nothing compared to what it would be if the tapes ever got into the public domain."
Mr. Rodriguez told another top C.I.A. official that if the images were disclosed "out of context, they would make us look terrible; it would be 'devastating' to us," an e-mail said. The tapes showed hours of interrogation of the two detainees, including the infliction of a technique called waterboarding that simulates drowning.
The e-mails showed that the tapes were destroyed on the morning of Nov. 9, 2005. Officials announced the decision on Tuesday because the five-year statute of limitations for filing criminal charges relating to the tapes' destruction had expired.
The agency had withheld the fact that the tapes existed from both the federal courts and the Sept. 11 Commission, which had asked the agency for records of the interrogations. The existence and subsequent destruction of the tapes was first revealed by The New York Times in December 2007.
Robert S. Bennett, Mr. Rodriguez's attorney, said in an interview that he was pleased that the Justice Department "did the right thing."
Mr. Rodriguez is "a hero and a patriot, who simply wanted to protect his people and his country," Mr. Bennett said.
Leon E. Panetta, the C.I.A. director, said in a statement that the C.I.A. was "pleased with the decision" not to bring charges against agency officers involved in destroying the tapes, and that the agency would continue to cooperate with other aspects of the Justice Department's investigation. But Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, condemned Mr. Durham's failure to file charges for obstruction of justice. He noted that the tapes were pertinent to litigation pending at the time that the agency destroyed them, including an A.C.L.U. Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking documents and images related to interrogations.
Mr. Durham, a career federal prosecutor based in Connecticut, was appointed in January 2008 by Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether destroying the tapes was a crime. In August 2009, the new attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., expanded Mr. Durham's mandate to include looking into whether crimes had been committed in the interrogation program, an investigation that remains open.
At the time, Mr. Holder cited a 2004 report by the C.I.A. inspector general that discussed several instances in which detainees died during interrogations by agency officials in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also documented the use of unauthorized techniques like mock executions, threats to family members and inflicting waterboarding more often than the department had approved.
When he expanded Mr. Durham's mandate, Mr. Holder also stressed that the Justice Department would "not prosecute anyone who acted in good faith and within the scope of the legal guidance given by the Office of Legal Counsel regarding the interrogation of detainees."
Mr. Holder was referring to once secret Justice Department memorandums asserting that certain interrogation techniques, like stripping prisoners naked, keeping them awake for long periods, slamming them into walls and subjecting them to waterboarding, would not violate antitorture laws.
Many legal scholars have contended that the memorandums gave a false reading of the law, and other officials in the Bush-era Justice Department later rescinded the legal guidance. But because the Justice Department had initially signed off on the techniques, it is considered essentially impossible for the department to prosecute officials who relied on the memorandums.
In his newly released memoir, former President George W. Bush writes that he personally authorized the C.I.A. to use the techniques in 2002, after obtaining assurances from government lawyers that the interrogation program would be lawful.
"I have been troubled by the blowback against the intelligence community and Justice Department for their role in the surveillance and interrogation programs," Mr. Bush wrote.
"Our intelligence officers carried out their orders with skill and courage, and they deserve our gratitude for protecting our nation. Legal officials in my administration did their best to resolve complex issues in a time of extraordinary danger to our country. Their successors are entitled to disagree with their conclusions. But criminalizing differences of legal opinion would set a terrible precedent for our democracy."
