This is a problem we see all to often which usually turns out to be bad lilo.conf and fstab entires.
This particular one sounds to me like a bad lilo.conf, recheck it and then recheck it again, make sure they are correct, then rerun lilo.
Also recheck your fstab entries while they may appear correct its worth rechecking these too.
you're right, was a little problem with the lilo.conf.
maybe I have a perfect signature _someday_
next time try the search first
Think this issue is one for the FAQ's
apt-get install arch
lilo default is:
Auto-Prepare sets root to part3
which seems to me an avoidable an inconsistency
in the case of users (like myself) who are used to simply seeing
the inconsistency doesnt stand out as immediatley
(at least this is the case with me)
if in future releases of arch
default lilo.conf pointed to /part3 then
users who opt for auto-prepare wont need
change anything here in lilo.conf
unless they opt for custom partitioning
just a thought
-= n00b_E =-
Your suggestion is already in the works and should be available for archlinux 0.4.
isnt reinventing the wheel just so much fun?? im sorry to pick on people, but other Archers including myself have bitched and moaned bouts the default lilo.conf and each one is responded to as being circumvented. so why dont people try searching the forum to see if the answer is already here??

fact is that I did look, and this thread was what i found posted on the subject..
fact is that this thread didnt speak to the solution nor did/does it point to a thread where the solution is covered.
In addition this is not a closed thread which, gave me the impression for that moment that It wasnt covered elsewhere.
fact is that possibly the next person who is faced with the same issue could find this thread and hopefully would glean the quick solution from the post i made.
unfortunately, the fact is just as you stated. this ground has been covered already
fact is that while the issue is to be addressed in the next release, its not addressed in the documentation
fact is that generally people do not read the boards for things that logically could, or by the same logic *should* be, in the documentation.
The reality is that it was dariball who walked me through resolving this very issue post-install
and with this being so well known, he shouldnt have had to.
IMO, the docs should have been changed to reflect the inconsistency when it became known.
I suppose thats a bit of a newbification for some?
So within my lame-assed-newb means, I was attempting from circumvent the perpetuation of wasted energy by
a.) raising the issue because I thought it was new and
b.) stating where the work around is to problem in the same post.
Pardon my ass for looking out for the next person who suffers from failing to meet your board scouring standards.
(Possibly, if you were a little less smug, you might have replied with a link to the other places this was covered for the next reader?
They too could suffer from the same apparent inability I have to scour the boards to a degree that meets your standards.
But maybe it would lend some validity to your post beyond perpetuating your own superiortiy or running up your post count?)
-= n00b_E =-
well, n00b_E, lets take it from the top. ur correct on the sole basis of me not pointing u to one of the many statements of rectification in the next Arch release. it doesnt make any sense what so ever to have to answer the same question so frequently as it has been. thats the point of a forum... to give and get help. therefore, one would have to consider the possibility that a problem *may* already be mentioned, thus by spending two seconds page load time of the search page, we dont run in unproductive circles anylonger. now tell me just who is so hypocritically attempting to extend there superiority and post count here through the use of eloquent synonyms in an attempt to try and undermine our vocabularies?? well i got news fur u pal, my diction is just as articulate if not more so than ur use of a synonymical dictionary. so please get off ur pedistal, im not going to sit here and childishly squabble whit u because this forum is a place of fecundity not disparagement.

Now now boys, no need for this sort of argument.
Forums are and always have been a source for information.
Its also a fact the docs need a slight overall, especially a few additions here and there.
So, lets take the latter, your not happy with the docs? add to them yourselves and submit your changes. And if you say your cant then fair enough, but please, dont moan about something your not willing to fix yourself.
Let that be an end to any fuming argument.
i have been working on an ammendment fur the faq. ill send it off once its nicely polished and then we will all be happy right??

I think addressing the duplicity of effort regarding documentation
would be a start.
in the intrest of productivity its probably better we are all pulling together
as opposed to duplicating what the other is doing.
that in no way is to slight what your writing in the least
but long term, i think it would be optimal for a more organized approach
to maintaining the documentaion.
specifically, something we could modify on the fly
as opposed to waiting for the next release to make changes.
(which seems like what we are doing)
-= n00b_E =-
You've made some good points as far as the documentation--when I started recommending Arch to friends, I put up a page, written mainly for people I knew that covered a few gotchas that I ran into when I installed. (I think Apeiro said he was going to link to it, but don't know if he did--could be that he looked at it and decided against it. )
Arch seems to be growing a little bit--it used to be that I could visit this forum and see no posts since my last visit, now it seems to be getting busier. As it does, the need for documentation will increase.
As for the lilo thingie--I remember when Gentoo first started, and the docs simply had a sample
/etc/fstab--however, as more newcomers started getting interested, they had to change it--at first, all the folks who looked at it were experienced and realized that if he wrote /BOOT it meant the boot partition--however, the newcomers would simply copy the doc and put BOOT in their fstab--this of course, caused problems.
With Arch's lilo, yes one does have to watch the default--it caught me a few times, simply forgot to change it. It should probably be mentioned somewhere as even experienced Linux users tend to get careless. What I found irksome was that when I booted using the CD as rescue, and fixed it, then tried to run lilo.conf, I'd messed something up, and wasn't able to do so--as it's a fast machine, I just found it quicker to reinstall (a basic Arch install takes me about 10 minutes on a 1.2 Duron with 300 something megs of RAM, as I felt too lazy to search for the answer.
I know that they want documentation, and your willingness to help is probably going to be appreciated.
(err, in case this post makes it sound like I'm an Arch elite, I'm not--I'm a newcomer to Arch like yourself.)

Anyone can tell you if a trailer "looks good" or not. But Drew Magary, who spent over a decade working in advertising, is here to tell you whether or not a trailer WORKS. This week's trailer? "The Three Stooges".
The Farrelly Brothers' "Three Stooges" movie has been in development for so long that it's shocking to see actual footage of the movie. It's the "Chinese Democracy" of comedy retreads. Here is a partial list of everyone who had been considered for the one of the Stooge roles at some point : Sean Penn, Andy Samberg, Johnny Knoxville, Jim Carrey, Paul Giamatti, Hank Azaria, James Marsden, Benicio del Toro (really?), and countless others. It's been over a decade in the making. And now, at long last, the trailer is here, with Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, and Chris Diamantopoulos as your headliners. Let's take a look at the trailer and see if this thing is more Curly than Joe.
Does the trailer let us know what the movie's about? Listen, if you need a trailer to help explain what "The Three Stooges" is gonna be about, you're probably not ready for the complexities of Stooge-based humor. Yes, the trailer tells us everything we need to know. There are three stooges and they poke each other in the eye a lot. Also, it's clear from the trailer that the Farrellys have left the tone of the original shorts unchanged. From the eye-pokes to the hammed up sound effects, they stayed true to the original. Whether or not that's a good thing I leave up to you (pokes you in the eye while you think it over).
Is Sasso a convincing Curly? I guess so. I say that only because it's pretty clear that he's "doing" Curly. But seriously, what else is Sasso supposed to do? Is he supposed to go all Heath Ledger and make Curly his own? I don't know how you would even begin to do that.
Is Hayes a convincing Larry? He gets the least amount of screen time in the trailer, so it's hard to gauge. But he does have the hair.
Is Diamanwhathisname a convincing Moe? Yes. The voice is pretty much spot on.
Does the trailer do that thing where you think it's a serious movie at first, only to reveal ten seconds in that it's a silly comedy? It does! Boy, that trick always gets me! I never would have known it was a Three Stooges film, apart from the fact that I'm at the WEBSITE FOR THE THREE STOOGES MOVIE.
Are there are all sorts of horrible punny taglines for the movie? Yep. There's GET SOME MOE, which is clever, and JUST SAY MOE, which is even more clever! I suggest the next tagline be READY SET MOE.
Is that a nunkini? It is. It's mesmerizing. I watched the trailer three times just for that.
Is that a Snooki cameo? Yep. Because any comedy worth its salt has a Snooki reference in it. Just like the original did!
Does this trailer work? No. This is basically the Farrellys taking the old Stooge bits and recreating them note-for-note. Why would I watch them do that when I can just watch old Stooge shorts at home? Throwing Snooki into the mix doesn't make it any newer or fresher. No wonder it took so long to get this movie made: it doesn't have any legitimate reason to exist. Except for the nunkini. That's crazy hot.
Trailer Park: "The Three Stooges"!

Lindsay Lohan was as sober as a judge when her court-ordered SCRAM bracelet activated, and a urine test proves it, according to her lawyer.
The bracelet, which an L.A. judge ordered her to wear after she missed a hearing on her progress in an alcohol education class, went off earlier this month at an MTV awards afterparty. Lilo, whose legal troubles stem from a 2007 DUI, immediately insisted she had not been drinking, and her mother Dina blamed a spilled drink. The device measures alcohol in a wearer's sweat, and sends the data to a monitoring company.
But while many folks may have rolled their eyes when Lilo cried foul, her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said a urine test taken right after the incident backed her up, according to E! Online.
U.S. & World
"They did a urinalysis through Medtox labs and it was indicated conclusively that there was no alcohol in her system at that time," a source with knowledge of the test results confirmed to the website. "She was ordered to go right in and today just got report back and it was negative."
An L.A. district attorney spokeswoman wasn't aware of the negative test result. The DA's office office previously said the alert was "an alcohol-related violation."
Lohan, 23, remains free on $200,000 bail – a new amount which the judge set in her case on June 8 after the SCRAM alert. Lohan remains subject to weekly random drug testing and must abstain from alcohol.
The troubled starlet faces a probation violation hearing on July 6, and could get up to six months in jail if a judge determines that she hasn't fully complied with her probation terms.

Fully automated sample processing for therapeutic drug monitoring offers traceabili...
The advent of automation in the laboratory was anticipated early. In 1970, Hamilton had already introduced the first semi-automated diluter. The first fully automated workstation for sample preparation followed in 1980. Today's STAR line instruments represent the latest development in a series of innovative liquid handling workstations.
Thousands of Hamilton liquid handling workstations are serving customers in laboratories all over the world, some of the instruments with a track record of over 15 years.
The HAMILTON Family
Flat hierarchies and openness have kept the innovative spirit and a familiar atmosphere among the approximately 1000 employees in the USA and Europe. Hamilton coexists in Reno, NV, USA and Bonaduz, Switzerland. The decentralized R&D organization benefits both production and marketing, and allows Hamilton to stay close to the local markets and respond quickly to market needs.
We regard the quality of our employees as one of the key elements at Hamilton. Our qualified staff are continually trained to keep up with advancing technologies. In the assembly of the instrument, every technician is responsible for one instrument throughout the entire process. Signing off "their" instrument before final testing is not only part of our quality management procedure, but also a symbol of the pride our staff takes in their work.
Quality Thinking in Research, Development & Manufacturing
Over the lifetime of an instrument, each component needs to withstand mechanical stress. Particularly, each of the STAR's pipetting channels goes through 500,000 to 1 million cycles in its lifetime. To evaluate the reliability of the design, the pipetting channels were tested for 10 million cycles in our research and development departments.
In order to be in complete control of the quality of our instruments, the most important components are manufactured in-house, particularly complex mechanic parts. These parts are manufactured to the tightest tolerances in our own precision machine shops.
Our philosophy for building instruments of the highest reliability is to test each module with criteria that are stricter than those for the whole instrument. Instrument testing is fully automated to avoid any variances due to human interaction. Once the instrument has passed all tests successfully, it is configured with the specific modules and accessories for the customer's application and has to pass yet another test.Because we also manufacturer life support equipment, Hamilton is compliance with ISO 9001, GMP and FDA.

Wave boys lacrosse aiming for a return to the top
Recommended Video:
Last season, New Canaan became the first team since 2006 to repeat as FCIAC boys lacrosse champions, quite a feat considering the amount of ultra-competitive squads in the conference.
The Rams have the talent and experience to record a three-peat and make another strong run in the state tournament, but there are plenty of teams in the FCIAC that will have something to say about that.
Darien, which has 12 FCIAC championships to its ledger, is seeking a bounce-back season after falling to New Canaan in the FCIAC semifinals and Wilton in the Class M quarterfinals.
"We broke our 25-year streak of not getting to the final four in states, so we have to start a new streak," Darien coach Jeff Brameier said. "Last year, we had our worst record in many years, so we have to get our reputation back."
Greenwich is another team that will try to end New Canaan's FCIAC championship reign. The Cardinals, who dropped an 8-5 decision to the Rams in the 2013 FCIAC title game, return a solid core group of players from last season.
"Our team has a lot of experience, which hopefully, will pay off," GHS coach Scott Bulkley said. "We're good on paper, but that's all you are is paper until you show up and do something once the season starts."
Not to be overlooked is Wilton, which has won the most FCIAC championships (13) and has appeared in more title games (22) than any team in the conference. Warriors coach John Wiseman knows his team has to be at its best each game against the top-notch competition the league has to offer.
"I think we're seeing more and more parity in the FCIAC," Wiseman said. "A lot of teams are well-balanced with a lot of depth."
Staples and St. Joseph, both of which reached the Class L and Class M finals, respectively a year ago, should also make their move up the conference standings. Here's an overview of the conference.
NEW CANAAN: The Rams, who were edged by Joel Barlow 5-4 in the Class M Tournament semifinals after winning their second straight FCIAC championship, bring back a group of players well-versed in playing big games. Senior attackman Harry Stanton, an All-FCIAC and All-State selection in 2013 and senior defender Seth Neeleman, headline New Canaan's list of impressive returnees. Senior goalie Trent Nader emerged as one of the premier netminders in the FCIAC last season and is poised for another strong year. Junior attack Michael Kraus and seniors Ted Bossidy and Cole Turpin give the Rams midfield strength, while junior Frank Cognetta helps anchor the defense.
GREENWICH: A lot of coaches in the FCIAC are high on the Cardinals after what they saw last season. Scoring shouldn't be a problem for Greenwich, which returns All-FCIAC, All-State midfielder Kyle Foote (Loyola University-bound), senior attackmen Ryan Flippin, Jamie Paradise, Sam Saleeby and Luke Finneran and junior attack Decker Curran. Duke University-bound senior Jack Harrington, who earned All-State and All-FCIAC honors last season, leads a defensive unit including senior Jack Nail, junior Griffin Tiedy, senior Nick Schepis and senior Cole Perry.
DARIEN: Brameier is "cautiously optimistic," that his team will be where it wants to be by season's end if the Blue Wave continue to work extremely hard. The Blue Wave possess one of the top goalies in the state in senior Phil Huffard. An All-FCIAC selection as a junior, Huffard, will take his skills to Yale next season. Junior All-FCIAC attack Peter Lindley, along with juniors John Reed and Owen Koorbusch, lead a Blue Wave squad that has plenty of punch offensively. Kyle Cornell, Harry Gillespie and Ian Coyne are a rock-solid tri of midfielders.
WILTON: After a bit of a slow start last spring, the Warriors picked up steam. By season's end, they found themselves with their second state championship in three years. "It's not how you start, it's how you finish," Wiseman said. "Though I wouldn't mind building a little bit earlier this season." Senior midfielder Brendan Devane (All-FCIAC), who scored a hat trick in the state final victory against Joel Barlow, is one of the conference's premier players. Josh Worley and Jameson Hill give the Warriors a lot of quality depth in goal. Wiseman likes what he sees from first-year faceoff specialist R.J. Romeo and expects significant contributions from Harrison Bardwell, Jack Dexter and Mike Brown. Ryan Brameier should help ignite the team offensively, once he returns from an injury.
RIDGEFIELD: The Tigers have appeared in four of the last six FCIAC finals and should be one of the teams to beat this season. Coached by Roy Colsey, Ridgefield was edged by Greenwich in the FCIAC Tournament semifinals a year ago.
KYLE FOOTE, GREENWICH: Foote's quickness and outstanding shooting ability makes him one of the most dangerous offensive players in the league. After being injured in the FCIAC finals, the Cardinals missed his presence during their Class L quarterfinal-round loss to Staples. He will play at Loyola next season.
HARRY STANTON, NEW CANAAN: The senior attack was the MVP of last year's championship game. The Wesleyan University-bound Stanton earned First Team All-FCIAC and All-State honors last season and is one of the Rams go-to players in crunch time.
PETER LINDLEY, DARIEN: Slowing down the speedy junior attack is the focus of most teams that face the Blue Wave. Lindley, who has committed to UMass, was a member of the First Team All-FCIAC squad last season.
WILL BONAPARTE, RIDGEFIELD: Bonaparte is regarded as one of the best midfielders/faceoff men in the FCIAC, and state. The senior standout, who is a threat offensively as well as in the faceoff X, made First Team All-State last spring. He will take his talent to Maryland next season.
JACK HARRINGTON, GREENWICH: The senior is an imposing presence on defense for the Cardinals. The all-state player will play at Duke University next season.
PHIL HUFFARD, DARIEN: A three-year starter, Huffard has helped key the Blue Wave's success with an always consistent effort in goal. He'll play at Yale next spring.
JOSH MILLER, BRIEN MCMAHON: The senior goalie was awarded with All-American and All-State honors for the Senators as a junior.
BRENDAN DEVANE: Everyone team that plays Wilton knows about Devane's ability. The midfielder is one of the Warriors leaders on and off the field.
GREENWICH VS. NEW CANAAN, MAY 1: This is a rematch of the 2013 FCIAC final, won by New Canaan. The Cardinals, who went 0-2 against the Rams a year ago, will look to gain a measure of revenge.
DARIEN VS. NEW CANAAN, MAY 3: There's usually a lot of excitement involved when these longtime rivals meet.
DARIEN VS. WILTON, APRIL 24: The Warriors, who peaked at the right time in 2013, knocking Darien out of the Class M playoffs in the quarterfinals.
STAPLES VS. GREENWICH, APRIL 22: The Cardinals beat Staples twice last season before falling to the Wreckers in the Class LL quarterfinals.
RIDGEFIELD VS. WILTON, APRIL 22: This is a matchup of two physical teams with a load of talented midfielders.

A good plan, Scribbles.
If we get the house that we've applied for, then there will be a bit of gardening to do. I'm not much good at gardening, but I'm willing to give it a go. I will have four days off each week, after all, with "nothing" to do.

Please let me introduce you to the newest Fairy Sweet... Clover Greenfield. Clover is a dreamy, head-in-the-clouds little fairy who spends her days weaving tales of wondrous adventures that she shares with all her friends in Sweet November land. Even the butterflies and other bugs love to listen to Clover's stories so she is always surrounded by those special to her. :)
Now I know you want to see more of this little cutie so please take a moment and stop by Traci's and Maire's blogs and enjoy their gorgeous and inspiring cards featuring Clover Greenfield!
And of course we've got some win-it-before-you-can-buy-it Clover candy up for grabs today, so check it out...

Yesterday during an interview in our offices, we were reminded how several dioceses have entered into arrangements with states' attorneys, in order to avoid prosecution over sex abuse cases. In Manchester, New Hampshire for example, auditors from the attorney general's office review personnel and office records every five years, yet we've heard nary a peep from the bishops about this voluntary relinquishing of religious liberty.
The noisemaking continues, however, over state mandates similar to one issued by HHS. A 12-year-old New Hampshire law requiring contraception coverage in health insurance plan is being challenged by GOP and religious leaders. No one said anything about it before, apparently, because there wasn't a full-time lobbyist in the state legislature in 1999 and, according to the Manchester diocese's chancellor Diane Murphy Quinlan, "It's possible that it was missed."
About 1.5 million women, or 14 percent of women who take a contraceptive pill, take it for noncontraceptive reasons, according to a Guttmacher study. (And that's true for nearly a third of teen users.) The bishops have said insurance plans offered by church institutions could include coverage of the pill as long as it's for medicinal uses. But you'd have to prove it to them, making for competing interests, as Scott Alessi points out: "The church may argue that this case was an exception, and that most women wouldn't be denied coverage for what their employer may deem a legitimate use of contraception. But for a church that values the dignity of the human person as one of its primary beliefs, is this type of policy really honoring the dignity of women?"
The bishops' response to the HHS mandate is now a Peace and Justice matter, apparently. This insert was sent out in an email by the USCCB Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development this week.
Anyone remember how two weeks ago, Dolan said the president's compromise was a good first step? Those were the days, right?
Meanwhile, there is an item at the top of the IMPORTANT/URGENT/FOCUS ON THIS pile. It's right next to this item.

Summers debate highlights Obama fissures with Dems
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Once again, President Barack Obama has been forced to abandon a friend and ally he wanted to nominate for a top job.
But this time, the resistance that pushed Lawrence Summers to withdraw from consideration for Federal Reserve chairman came from Obama's own Democratic base, not the conservatives who fought against him nominating Susan Rice as secretary of state. The opposition to Summers came at the end of a summer that also exposed other fissures between the White House and Democrats, many of whom are frustrated by revelations about the Obama administration's secret government spying programs and the president's support for military action in Syria.
"Most of the members of the Democratic caucus have a lot of respect and affection for the president but I do believe there is growing concern about his political judgment," Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said in an interview.
For Obama, any weakening of support within his own party could portend trouble to come for his second-term agenda. Because he already faces stiff resistance from Republicans to most of his policy proposals, the White House often needs to secure nearly every Democratic vote to pass Obama-backed legislation. And soon the president may come calling on Democrats to take tough votes during the fall fiscal fights, particularly if he makes concessions to Democrats on entitlement reform and spending cuts.
Summers, who is a Harvard University economist and former Obama adviser, informed the president on Sunday that he was withdrawing as a contender to replace current Fed chairman Ben Bernanke. The president has said he plans to nominate a new Fed chair this fall, before Bernanke's term ends in January.
The White House on Monday bristled at questions about the Democratic opposition to Summers. But the tumbling support for the 58-year-old was well known to Obama and his advisers before the economist formally withdrew.
When Summers emerged this summer as the likely choice for the Fed post, more than 20 Democratic senators signed a letter to Obama expressing support for another candidate, Fed vice chairwoman Janet Yellen. And some anti-Summers Democrats appealed to Obama in person during private meetings on Capitol Hill last month, leading the president to make a robust defense of his former adviser.
Democrats spent much of August and September gauging support for Summers on the Senate Banking Committee, the panel that would have had to approve the economist before sending his nomination to the full Senate. By the end of last week, a Senate Democratic aide said it was clear there would be at least four Democratic no votes on the committee, including Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Jon Tester of Montana.
A fifth Democrat trending away from Summers was Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota.
The dearth of Democratic support meant the White House would need to rely on the committee's Republicans to get Summers approved. On Friday, Merkley called the Senate Democratic leadership to update them on how the vote totals were shaping up. He also called the White House and left a message for chief of staff Denis McDonough, according to the Senate aide, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Summers pointedly noted that the political winds were blowing against him in a letter to Obama on Sunday formally withdrawing from consideration.
"I have reluctantly concluded that any possible confirmation process for me would be acrimonious and would not serve the interests of the Federal Reserve, the administration or, ultimately, the interests of the nation's ongoing economic recovery," he wrote.
The Democratic criticism of Summers focused on both his policies and his personality. Some lawmakers and economists criticized Summers for the role he played in deregulating parts of the financial industry during his tenure in the Clinton administration, while women's groups were critical of comments he had made about female aptitude in math and science.
Bill Burton, a former Obama White House official, defended the president's decision to consider Summers for the post despite the controversy that surrounded him. And he cast the pushback from Democrats, not only against the Summers nomination but also on other issues, as part of the political reality that faces presidents after winning re-election.
"Second term presidents often have more difficulty getting even simple things done," Burton said.
Summers' withdrawal marks the second time since Obama's re-election that he has lost his top choice for a high-profile job even before announcing an official nomination.
Rice, a close friend of the president, was a leading contender for secretary of state. But faced with blistering criticism from Republicans about her initial explanation of the deadly attack last year on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, Rice withdrew from consideration in December, saying she did not want her potential confirmation hearing to be a distraction for the president.
Obama later named Rice his national security adviser, a position that does not require Senate confirmation.
It's unlikely the president will find a similar fallback post for Summers, given that he's already served as Obama's top in-house economist.

Mayim Bialik recovering after car accident
Update: Mayim Bialick assured fans via Twitter on Thursday that she's doing well, and has already returned to work on "The Big Bang Theory": "How much do I get love and support from the big [sic] band cast and crew? I went to work today ... doing ok. Grateful. And tired."
She followed up on Friday, writing, "Nerve block: good. Nerve block wearing off: not good. Natural childbirth: manageable and profound. This: meh."
Actress Mayim Bialik seems to be in good spirits after being involved in a car accident on Wednesday.
"In pain but will keep all my fingers. If u wanna See pre accident me watch The Soup tonight lol," she tweeted, noting that her husband had to the type the message for her.
Bialik, who currently appears on "The Big Bang Theory" as Amy Farrah Fowler, was rushed to the hospital after the white Volvo she was driving collided with another vehicle on Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, according to a statement Los Angeles Police Lt. Andrew Neiman gave the Los Angeles Times.
The former "Blossom" star suffered "severe lacerations to her right hand and thumb," Neiman added.
Tell us, Mayim Bialik: What's next for you?
TMZ was the first to report the news on Wednesday, noting that the other vehicle was "filled with tourists from Chile."
Reps for the actress told CNN, "[S]he is doing fine and will be returning to work tomorrow. She thanks everyone for their concern."
According to reports, the mother of two was the only person in the car at the time of the accident. Bialik, who holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience, spoke to CNN about attachment parenting back in May when Time magazine's breastfeeding cover hit newsstands.

Here's your daily link to Dave McKenna's brilliant "Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder," which we'll be posting until Snyder's dumbass libel suit finds its way into the wood chipper.
Today we bring you an in-depth look at what it's like to be a Redskins cheer-leading hopeful. The DC cheerleaders are now called the "First Ladies of Football," although I always knew them as the "Redskinettes." I guess that sobriquet was too sexist? Not as sexist, it seems, as the treatment the First Ladies get from the Washington Redskins. In her story for TBD, Amanda Hess gets into how little the cheerleaders are paid and how much they can shell out to land a job with the Redskins:
If an aspiring cheerleader opts for each of these suggested modifications, she'll be out a few thousand dollars before she even auditions for the squad. But so what? A salaryman looking for a job in corporate administration invests big dollars in suits, cufflinks, and ties. An aspiring professional athlete sinks bank into trainers and diet. But it's only an investment if you stand to make a return.
Cheerleaders who make the cut are paid $75 per home game performance. With eight games and a couple of preseason bouts at FedExField on the schedule, full compensation for a season of on-field entertainment can amount to less than $1,000. Redskins cheerleaders also receive a pair of season tickets. Of course, they'll have to find someone else to fill the seats-they'll be working.
The cheerleaders must primp and prep in costly fashion. If they are among the tiny percentage to make the cut, they go on to make decent money — but for the team, not themselves. More:
Each spring, cheerleaders set aside eight full days for the organization, too. That's when they travel to an "exotic location," where they'll produce enough primo shots for 16 months of calendar. At last year's Punta Cana shoot, the Redskinettes tinkered with provocative poses for days. Several cheerleaders appeared with only footballs, hands, or pink roses covering their breasts. Others just wore paint. In shoot videos published on the team website - which sidle up to ads from Verizon and Audi - the women romp in the surf and dish about what they look for in guys. The Redskins sell the resulting spread for $14.99 a pop.
The Redskins say the shoot "includes airfare, hotel and all meals," but Jojokian warns Project Cheerleaders that squad members are required to secure their own passports and set away their own vacation time for the mandatory trip. The Redskins won't comment on whether these women are actually compensated for eight straight days of highly revealing modeling work. "I'm sorry," Redskins Senior Vice President Tony Wyllie told me via email when I asked for comment on the cheerleaders' pay: "we can not help here." ...
The Redskins won't confirm what wages the cheerleaders bring home, but the women drum up plenty for the team. Each year, the Redskins make each cheerleader available for more than 20 official appearances, where they dance, sign autographs, and pose for photos at private parties and corporate events. Unlike Redskins players, the team's cheerleaders can't set their own appearance fees, and the team won't disclose its price tag of a Redskinette at your doorstep. But across the league, NFL teams charge outside organizations an hourly rate that far outstrips the women's game-day pay. The Baltimore Ravens, for example, charge appearance fees of $150 to $250 per cheerleader per hour. The Tennessee Titans charge up to $300 an hour. And the Oakland Raiders rent their cheerleaders at a $400 hourly rate. It's not clear what portion of those appearance fees actually trickles down to the talent.
When NFL cheerleaders aren't turning a profit for the teams, they're pulling heartstrings on feel-good PR missions. The women of the Redskins volunteer their services by visiting veterans' hospitals, hopping on antique fire trucks, and patronizing "green" hair salons, all to burnish the team's public image. ...
One group that isn't complaining about cheerleader pay: Cheerleaders. "You're talking to women who have made their deal with the devil because they want to be NFL cheerleaders," [Gregg] Easterbrook says. "If they argued that they needed better pay for it, they would be dismissed. There's no job protection, no security, no union, no agent, no nothing. They're treated as chattel by the teams."
The team also controls who cheerleaders date, who they speak to, and what they wear. In 2007, Christy Ogilvee and another cheerleader were kicked off the squad for having a relationship with tight end Chris Cooley in violation of the team's strict non-fraternization policy. Cooley remains on the Redskins payroll.
In 2009, Marine Lt. Denver Edick contacted local ABC station WJLA to help him surprise his wife Kristin, a Redskins cheerleader, with an on-air homecoming. But when the team punted the story to broadcast partner NBC, the Redskins reportedly informed Edick that if his wife granted an interview to WJLA, she'd be canned. "To threaten to fire his wife-that is objectionable on so many levels that I couldn't even count them," WJLA station manager Bill Lord told the Post at the time. The Redskins denied making the threat. (WJLA.com is the sister site of TBD.com.)
Please stop Dan Snyder from undermining cheerleaders and give a donation to the City Paper's legal defense fund.

Who we are...
Coral Bay Resort
is designed for travelers in search of a relaxing and eco-friendly holiday experience. The peaceful natural environment of Coral Bay Resort minimizes the stress of today urban lifestyle and offers a welcome alternative to the crowded concrete establishments that unfortunately are becoming all too prevalent on Koh Samui.
Our 56 bungalows are set amid 10 acres of lush tropical gardens, ensuring an atmosphere of serenity and privacy. Surrounded by luxuriant coconut palms and flowering shrubs, the charming Samui-style dwellings built of wood and stone with traditional thatched roofs offer the highest standards of comfort.
Our Philosophy...
Since opening in 1982, we have worked hard to maintain the delicate balance between preserving the natural charm of Koh Samui while providing the amenities for our discerning guests. The abundant tropical flora creates a sanctuary for many species of birds, butterflies and squirrels.
Ever conscious of the environment, our swimming pools are 100% chlorine-free and we use recycled waste water to maintain the extensive gardens and new plants in our nursery.
The waste water is pretreated through stages of septic tanks, bio tanks and settlement tanks before filtering through a natural treatment system of media, aquatic flora / fauna and finally polished off with a protein skimmer which purifies the water further and convert harmful nitrates into beneficial ones before it goes into our sprinkler system.
Where we are...
We are situated on Yai Noi Bay, north Chaweng Beach on the north eastern part of Koh Samui, about 10 minutes from the airport.
Our island style,
thatched-roofed, wood and stone bungalows are spaced well apart from one another and surrounded by a profusion of greenery to ensure maximum privacy. Representing the ultimate value for money, each has a generous interior and a huge private balcony with plenty of comfy deck chairs and loungers, cooled by sea breezes and ceiling fans. Commanding a view of extensive tropical gardens or the sea it makes a perfect daytime or nighttimes hangout. Amenities for each bungalow include:
Air conditioning and ceiling fans
7-ft ultra large king size bed and a day bed for the extra person or child

Eats and drinks ...
Whether you are a carnivore or a vegetarian, a bon vivant or a teetotaler, you will find something to satisfy your needs on our extensive food and drink menu. Our guests often say we serve the best Thai food on the island. They appreciate that we do not tone down the flavors to satisfy westernized notions of Thai cuisine unless we are specifically requested to do so.
Plus we use only the fresh coconut cream in our curries and cocktails. (With nearly 200 coconut trees on site, why buy the canned stuff?) At the
(coral in Thai) restaurant, you will never feel enclosed, whether dining indoors or al fresco on the wooden deck. Sipping an exotic cocktail (shaken, never stirred) at the
Coco-rockBeach Bar
is an ideal way to celebrate the end of yet another perfect day at Coral Bay Resort.

text: We've seen it all before in the movies and various forms of entertainment: Vietnam, the assassination of Martin Luther King, the riots, the speeches, the love story. It has been common territory for entertainment. Part of the reason is that it was one of the biggest eras of political mistake making so its the easiest go to when making a point about our current political culture, but it was also one of the biggest artistic renovation periods of American History. This era and the jazz/blues era I would put at the forefront. Also making it an easy choice for creative stomping grounds. We've also seen in movies about this era those scenes when the songs beat over the various films images with the meaning they were created to have. But I've never seen it done with so much excessive creativity and literalness as I have in Julie Taymor's "Across the Universe", and that's the biggest compliment I could pay any movie this year, because with a sharp hand she makes it work, almost all the time anyway.

On a two meg connection, Tiscali for you
I like balls.
Virgin Broadband,andMy girlfriends is the same - although recently she has been getting double the 2meg line she is on.
That's Eclipse for you, used to be good, now totally shite.
Not too bad for BT that considering I'm 2.9KM from the exchange.
Nice one, we're a hot bed of reds here!
I think I have to agree there.I used to really rate them and although I've had no service outages their speed seems horrid.It must be contention, I get 6MB early in the morning and about 1MB in the evening.Will switching to a different ISP affect contention, or am I still basically sharing the same line ?
That just means the nearest speedtest server (to the ISP's POP) is in Maidenhead, not that everyone is from Maidenhead.
I think this is fucking incredible.I get 3 x faster speeds on my broadband at home than I do at work.We are supposed to be subscribing to the proverbial "up to" 8mb service at work , but when I ran the speedtest I got 260 to 270 kbps download speed.
An ISP/net related q.... what's the difference between dynamic and static IP and which one do I want?
Static is a set IP address and dynamic is an IP address given to you by your ISP each time you log on.
So which is better? I have to pay for a static but why and is it worth the money?
Balotelli, Falcao, Cavani...I'll be shocked if it's anyone other Etoo. Etoo or no-one. Simples. In fact, I'll do you all a favor and ban myself from the January transfer window forum if we get anyone other than Etoo.
Talk Talk Mark?
o2 broadband out tomorrow saw the prices and was quite impressed!£7.50 for standard 8 meg£10.00 for the 16megandonly £15 for the 20meg!You need to be an o2 contract customer tho or you have to pay an extra ten quid a month.Looks good tho!using LLU allowing them to make it cheapoh and you get free 24/7 UK BASED CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! thats what i'm talking about, bt can shove india up their arses!
Oi!!! Have more of a giggle with the Indian call centres, I tend to get more out of them, even if they haven't got a clue what you're talking about most of the time!!!

Pakistani school girls pray for the recovery of gunshot victim, Malala Yousufzai, in Multan on Oct. 10. Pakistani doctors removed a bullet from a 15-year-old child campaigner shot by the Taliban in a horrific attack condemned by national leaders and rights activists. The attack took place in Mingora, the main town of the Swat Valley in Pakistan's northwest, where Malala had campaigned for the right to an education during a two-year Taliban insurgency which the army said it had crushed in 2009.
By Mushtaq Yusufzai, NBC News
As a shocked Pakistan prayed for her recovery, Malala Yousufzai, the 15-year-old Pakistani girl shot by the Taliban for writing a blog about daily life in the war-torn Swat Valley, was still in a critical condition Wednesday after surgery to remove a bullet, her surgeon told NBC News.
The shooting drew a huge outpouring of reaction across Pakistan. The front pages of national newspapers carried pictures of a bandaged and bloody Yousufzai being brought to hospital. "Hate targets hope" the Express Tribune said in a headline.
Pakistan's president, prime minister, and heads of various opposition parties joined human rights group Amnesty International and the United Nations in condemning the attack.
"Pakistan's future belongs to Malala and brave young girls like her. History won't remember the cowards who tried to kill her at school," Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Twitter.

Pakistani people hold placards and candles as they pray for the well-being of Malala Yousufzai, in Lahore, Pakistan, Oct. 10. Gunmen ambushed a van carrying Malala Yousafzai and several of her schoolmates on Oct. 9 in the Swat Valley's main town of Mingora. Pakistan awarded her the first-ever National Peace Award last year in recognition for her struggle for girls education, which the Taliban banned after seizing control of the Swat valley. She was also nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize.

NCBA's Cattlemen's College Lineup Set for Feb. 3-4 in Nashville
DENVER — Celebrating its 21st year, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) Cattlemen's College has established a reputation as one of the most thorough cattle producer education programs in the nation. Sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health, the 2014 edition of Cattlemen's College offers a wide range of informative, hands-on educational workshops designed for cattle operations of every size and sector.
The program will be held Feb. 3-4, 2014, in Nashville, Tenn., headlining the first day of activities at the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. Early registration for Cattlemen's College and the convention ends Jan. 10, 2014.
Cattlemen's College workshops include an outstanding lineup of industry experts during the course of two jam-packed days. On Mon., Feb. 3, participants will first hear from Dr. Arne Anderson as he presents "Manners Matter: Keeping You and Your Cattle Alive and Well". This first class is aimed at the "dos" and "don'ts" of processing cattle through a chute, with emphasis placed on safety and efficiency for both the cowboys and the cattle.
Following this presentation, Dr. Jerry Lipsey will demonstrate how to select replacement heifers for longevity in a presentation entitled "Can Visual Evaluation Foresee Differences in Fertility?", and Dr. Kent Andersen will discuss the selection of replacement bulls for fertility.
On Monday evening, Cattlemen's College participants will be treated to a reception sponsored by Certified Angus Beef. The reception will be an opportunity to visit with fellow cattlemen as well as the afternoon's speakers.
Starting Tuesday morning at 7:00 am, Cattlemen's College classes begin with a keynote address by Bob Langert, who is the corporate vice president, and leads corporate social responsibility & sustainability for McDonald's Corporation. Langert will share McDonald's overall sustainable supply chain vision and how beef fits in. As sustainability evolves, listen in to see how McDonald's is working with various stakeholders, including all parts of the value chain, to collaborate on social and environmental opportunities and challenges.
Proceeding Langert's address, five concurrent classroom sessions will begin at 8:15 am with each classroom having specific areas of emphasis including resource management, animal management, ranch management, finance and business and consumer relations.
"Cattlemen's College gives producers an opportunity to hear from some of the leading experts in topics that impact their cattle operations every day, as well as the chance to interact with those experts and ask questions," said NCBA Executive Director of Producer Education John Paterson. "Many of the presenters are legends in the beef industry, and the wide variety of classes offers something for every producer. We highly encourage cattlemen and women to take advantage of this informative and educational program."
Registration for Cattlemen's College includes all classes along with lunch on Feb. 4. This schedule allows cattlemen to attend up to five 45-minute workshops.
Cattlemen's College registration information, as well as a complete schedule for the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show are available at www.beefusa.org.

Dodgers say Nolasco will get Game 4 start
Right-hander still could be replaced by Greinke on short rest
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly mostly affirmed Monday night that Ricky Nolasco will start Tuesday's Game 4 (5 p.m. PT, TBS) of the National League Championship Series for Los Angeles.
But it might be wise to continue to refer to Nolasco as a "probable" starter.
Mattingly stopped just short of issuing an ironclad guarantee that Nolasco will start.
Before Game 3, Mattingly sounded prepared to bypass Nolasco in favor of Zack Greinke, who has superior credentials, if the Dodgers absorbed a loss that would push them to the brink of elimination. The obvious risk was that Greinke, if summoned for Game 4, would be working on three days' rest, one fewer than usual.
"I would say, yes, today's results may have something to do [with it]," Mattingly admitted.
Tale of the Tape: Game 4
|2013 regular season
|Overall: 33 GS (34 G), 13-11, 3.70 ERA, 46 BB, 165 K
|Overall: 33 GS, 15-10, 3.97 ERA, 76 BB, 198 K
|Key stat: 12.75 ERA over last three starts

Career: 3 GS, 2-0, 2.50 ERA
|Loves to face: Yadier Molina, 3-for-11
Hates to face: Matt Holliday, 12-for-26, 2 HR
|Loves to face: Michael Young, 0-for-9, 5 K
Hates to face: Carl Crawford, 2-for-4
|Game breakdown
|Why he'll win: Had success against Cardinals in regular season
|Why he'll win: Has never lost to Dodgers
|Pitcher beware: Has never pitched in the postseason
|Pitcher beware: Allowed 5 earned runs in lone start this October
|Bottom line: Forget about rough end to regular season
|Bottom line: Limit impact from Dodgers' stars
This has become a familiar situation for Nolasco, 30. The Dodgers replaced him with Clayton Kershaw last Monday in Game 4 of the NL Division Series against Atlanta. Kershaw allowed two runs in six innings and received no decision as Los Angeles clinched the series with a 4-3 triumph.
"Until somebody says otherwise, I'm focused on going out there and pitching tomorrow," Nolasco said. Referring to his conditional starting status, he added, "Those things are out of my control. I'm only concentrating on the things I can control."
If the uncertainty annoyed Nolasco, he hid it well.
"I think anybody would want to be able to pitch in a postseason game," he said. "... My time will come. Whether it will or it won't, everything is meant to be and happens for a reason."
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis expressed unqualified confidence in Nolasco.
"I expect the same competitive guy to step up and keep [the Cardinals] off balance and make some pitches."
Cardinals third baseman David Freese, whose playing status is day to day with a right leg injury, voiced respect for Nolasco.
"He's good. He uses his offspeed [pitches] a lot," Freese said. "We've just got to hit mistakes. This is the time of year where you've got to pound mistakes. We obviously haven't done that this series, but hopefully we can get it going tomorrow."
A potential free agent, Nolasco earned $11.5 million in the final year of a three-year, $26.5 million deal that he received from the Marlins, who traded him to Los Angeles for three Minor Leaguers in July. His contract status, combined with the Dodgers' must-win imperative, prompted a reporter to ask him whether he considered this the most important start of his career.
"I guess you could say that from [the team aspect]," Nolasco said. "I'm just trying to do whatever I can to help this team win. As far as being a free agent, whether I pitch good or bad, it doesn't dictate what kind of pitcher I am throughout the whole season. That's what free agency is about."
Nolasco hasn't started since Sept. 25 and hasn't pitched competitively since Sept. 29, when he received a one-inning tuneup against Colorado. He has busied himself by maintaining his usual between-starts routine and throwing approximately 80 pitches in a simulated game last Wednesday.

Here's the thing: I have way too many clothes. I realize that. Most of us realize that, I think. My problem is that my style is starting to change. No longer do I enjoy running around in XXI clothes (or, heaven forbid, my old obsession for Charlotte Russe). Almost every time I look through my clothes, I have this overwhelming urge to throw everything I own away and start from scratch.
But how do you start from scratch? Thus started my idea to put together a list of essential pieces to buy again if I ever actually get around to starting a fresh wardrobe. Obviously, everything listed here can be altered to fit your style!
Bottoms and tops:
Dresses, shoes, socks:
Winter accessories, bags, & underwear:
So if you ask me, these are the basic building blocks to any wardrobe! Let me know if there's a piece you can't live without.
Keep up-to-date on my new postings by following me on Twitter. You can also contact me through my website here, email me at email@example.com, or send me a message to my Facebook. Thank you!

NEW YORK — Construction workers bolted a 408-foot spire into place atop One World Trade Center on Friday, symbolically capping New York's comeback after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The spire brings the iconic building to a height of 1,776 feet — an allusion to the year the United States declared its independence. It also makes the building the tallest in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest in the world.
The company developing the building in partnership with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey confirmed the installation.
While the building still has significant construction before its scheduled 2014 opening, the installation brought cheers from New Yorkers, and from people around the country.
NYC is back … America is back!" Twitter user TheJeffSullivan posted to the social networking site.
Twitter user mattnewby04 called it a "very powerful moment to see the figurative rebuilding of NYC."
The pieces installed Friday morning were hoisted to a temporary platform atop the building last week.
The spire contains 18 steel sections and three communication rings. The first — and heaviest — steel section was installed in January. It weighs more than 67 tons, according to a statement from the Port Authority.
It will serve as an antenna for a television broadcast facility housed in the building, which rises from the site near the original World Trade Center towers, which fell in the 2001 attacks.
Last week, construction director Steven Plate told CNN affiliate WABC that the spire will be a "beacon that'll be seen for miles around and give a tremendous indication to people around the entire region, and the world, that we're back and we're better than ever."
Construction on the building began in April 2006.

Every so often, poll data perfectly explain what's happening in the news. The news of late in Republican presidential politics is Mitt Romney's surge. He's emerged as a true front-runner for the GOP nomination.
What explains this? The one word answer is "electability." Republican voters are beginning to think, based on considerable evidence, that Mr. Romney is their best bet to unseat President Obama. His "electability" is driving his surge.
Consider these two questions (asked of Republican primary voters only) from the most recent Fox News survey:
How important is it to you that the Republican nominee agrees with you on most major issues?
- Very important 53%
- Somewhat important 43%
- Not very important 2%
- Not at all important 2%
How important is it to you that the Republican nominee can beat Barack Obama?
- Very important 73%
- Somewhat important 19%
- Not very important 3%
- Not at all important 3%
Republican primary voters may not agree with Mitt Romney on issues like "Romneycare," but they're willing to overlook almost anything in order to make sure that President Obama is defeated in 2012.
Any number of things can go wrong for Mr. Romney, of course. He's not a lock to win his party's nomination. But if he does win the GOP nod, "electability" will be the reason he does.

Hosted e-mail and Web applications could soon be available from Utah state technology agency.
Utah state government is preparing a private cloud that will offer hosted e-mail and Web applications to cities and counties within the state, according to Steve Fletcher, state CIO and executive director of Utah's Department of Technology Services.
The move is a natural extension of Utah's data center consolidation initiative, which has been under way for several years, said Fletcher, in an interview with Government Technology. It also dovetails with growing government interest in cloud computing and software as a service.
"We're consolidating and virtualizing [state government servers] now. So from there, we will have all of our state agencies essentially virtualized -- they'll be in the cloud," said Fletcher. "Then we will start to add local entities. We're in contact with six or eight cities that are saying, 'Yeah we'd love to have you take over our operations.'"
Fletcher expects private clouds to become common among states like Utah -- which ranked first in the Center for Digital Government's 2008 Digital States Survey -- that have invested in modernizing their technology infrastructures.
"A lot of states are finding that they're going to put their own form of cloud computing in place, since they have very sophisticated operations," he said. "Through our consolidation, we've become the center of excellence for Utah."
Private clouds also offer an alternative for state and local agencies that want to take advantage of hosted applications, but are uncomfortable turning over government data and applications to private providers.
"They understand that we know how to protect the information and we know how to handle it. All those issues of access and ownership and security have already been resolved," Fletcher said. "So it's a lot safer for them, and if we can show them that our prices are very similar to what's offered in the commercial side, then they're saying, 'This is a good idea.'"

Who doesn't love receiving presents; that is one of the reasons we appreciate birthdays or any special occasions. But what can be done to make sure the Presents given are actually what is wanted?
Family and friends do know you well, but every single person has his or her own preferences which may not fit to one another's. Therefore, the gifts received might not have the desired outcome, that is you will not like it, and the person who put their thoughts into the idea will be disappointed because your are not happy on the special day. They are dear ones, but they are not mind reader genies. They want all what is best, but they do not always know what you like. And it is a waste of their energy and of expectations to not be able to offer the gift one deserves.
The best and most modern solution nowadays turns out to be a gift card from one of your favorite stores. Purses, bracelets, shoes, earrings and any kind of clothing can become reality with a gift card. Accessorizing is one of women's top abilities, and even though friends' opinions are taken into account, a woman or a young teenager has a mind of her own, especially when it comes to dressing up. A distressed and unique style that others do not understand can become the right present if bought from the suitable store.
Designer clothes, sales, special outfits chosen online can complete your special day, with the click of a mouse without extended long hours of shopping. Gift cards are an optimal solution when talking about birthdays, shopping and wishful thinking. These cards are not just for clothing, they can be entrance tickets to concerts, parties and other events organized by the store offering more than just ladies clothing.

We've seen a number of images from the set of director Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic Noah thus far, giving us peeks at Russell Crowe as the titular hero and Logan Lerman in his period garb, but we've yet to see the film's antagonist, Ray Winstone. That changes today, as the first images of Winstone's character have landed online. We don't know much about the role other than it's that of Noah's nemesis, but Winstone's sporting some fairly bloody wounds so it appears that he gets into a skirmish of sorts at some point in the film. Liam Neeson and Liev Schreiber were reportedly considered for the role early on, but I think Winstone will make for a suitable baddie opposite Crowe.
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Douglas Booth, Anthony Hopkins, Kevin Durand, Martin Csokas and Mark Margolis. Noah opens March 28, 2014. [Update: We've removed the unofficial images from the article.]
Here's the synopsis for Noah:
NOAH is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood. The screenplay was written by Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter John Logan (GLADIATOR, HUGO). Scott Franklin and Aronofsky of Protozoa Pictures, along with Mary Parent of Disruption Entertainment, will produce the film. The film will be executive produced by Ari Handel (BLACK SWAN), Arnon Milchan of New Regency and Chris Brigham (INCEPTION, ARGO).
