Fright Night With The Three Stooges
What better way to prepare for Trick or Treat time than with Spooky Three Stooges Shorts. The Boys met up with their share of ghosts, goblins and assorted scary types so to get in the mood to go haunting on Halloween, turn out the lights and tune in these shorts for some delights and frights!
'Dizzy Doctors' will give you the low down on what to do with those extra skulls you have lying around and you can get those first hand from 'Creeps'. 'Three Missing Links' helps if you need to tame a gorilla!
Look out for the ghosts and goblins creeping around in 'The Ghost Talks' and 'Scotched In Scotland' because they might get you and you could lose your head!
Beware and take care because there are creatures around to give you a scare! To see what we mean put 'We Want Our Mummy' and 'Idle Roomers' up on the screen. Now that's some spooky Halloween fun with The Three Stooges!
Safety Tips
- Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. Treating your kids to a spooky Halloween dinner will make them less likely to eat the candy they collect before you have a chance to check it for them.
- Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car.
- Please remember when you're out on Halloween to keep on the lookout and drive real careful as the trick or treaters will be out and about.
- Here are a few more safety tips, three recipes to spice up the night and some ideas if you're entertaining guests. These are some common sense reminders to make Halloween safe for your little Trick or Treaters: Children should go out during daylight hours. At night: Only unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Small children should never be allowed to go out alone on Halloween. Make sure an older sibling or adult is with them.
- If your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves, set a time for their return home.
- Stay in well lighted areas. Stop only at familiar houses in your own neighborhood unless they are accompanied by an adult.
- Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars.
- Let them know that they should stay together as a group if they are older children going out to Trick or Treat without an adult.
- Help your child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make it fire proof and eye holes should be large enough for good peripheral vision.
- If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way so that costumes won't accidentally be set on fire.
- Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury.
- Teaching children basic everyday safety such as not getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both ways before crossing streets and crossing when the lights tell them to, will help make them safer not only when they are out Trick or Treating but all the time.
Separate Two Eggs
Actually, we'll save that one for Thanksgiving! Instead spice up the night for you and your guests with some Candied Apples, Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Witches Brew Tea.
Click here for the recipes for these Halloween treats.
If you are having guests here are some fun ideas to get your house into the Halloween spirit: Serve your Halloween punch or spiced apple cider from a large hollowed-out pumpkin. Use a large ladle to serve in orange cups.
Serve fresh vegetables using a hollowed out pumpkin as a bowl. Cut off the top and clean out, leaving the top in a jagged edge design. Use mini pumpkins to hold dips.
Use a plastic cauldron partially filled with hot water, add some dry ice and a glow stick to create an eerie centerpiece for your table. Be careful handling dry ice. It can burn skin very easily.
If you have porch steps, make sure they are easy to navigate for your trick or treat guests. Use jack-o-lanterns to light the stairs. Put a high intensity glow stick inside for light.
Now sit back, sip some Witches Brew Tea put in a Three Stooges video and relax while Larry, Moe and Curly take care of the spooky characters up on the screen or are those ghosts and goblins and ghouls really coming after you!

In MemoriamThe guardian ghosts, ghosts of our great men goneawait above, await your advent's song,The skylark's cry has vexed this vivid morn;her notes denote in notes that know no wrong.The ample ale of amber allium artis milked by million minions of her shine,Her radiance reigned, rained ray drops dart by darton fallowed fields, fields flood with floral wine.Lie you now, now lie you near no night;The calling candles clear collected scars,The sun still sates the sweat of sheltered sight;You belong, belong by better stars.
War Woundthere's a war wound in my chestthat I cradle in my heartand nurse it with parablesbut,it never,never grows up.sometimes I feed it vanities,a glass of Scotch or twobut in the morning's residueit reflects no summer truths.there's a war wound in my chestwhich sought shelter in my soulnow it lies as an attic masterpiecefor the years to unfoldthe colours have aged with merubric to rust to puceand this work of art upon my heartis butfor the artist's eyes.there's a war wound in my chestwhich fell our companybut I who saw the shot and shell,know it well indeed.for he assigned us nameless,no rank, no class or creed,but then the lance of simple chancewiped out our battery.and I who fell for our comraderydid no favours for theeI beheld the appetite of infancyand lived for mortality.
The Artist's PleaThe fingerprints of mankind among each hillDoes the artist's eyes with melancholy fill,A meadow unseen, untouched by timeLends the poor poet his timeless rhyme,The song of a lark, the scent of a roseBears in its womb, the birth of sweet prose,And though man will pillage and nature abuseWhere from will he find tomorrow's muse?
Sonnet XVIWhen life smites me in its wavering courseAnd colder than winters my winters be,I look upon Woe with tearful remorseAnd wish he would bewail to comfort me.Yet, tears take a man, and a man aloneSuch is the nature of inner downpourAnd empty the foyer, vacant the throneWhen stormy seas conquer the untrained shore.Yet, while I speak to airy winds in verseMy rightful purpose I do once more find,And in frightful pleasure I bless my curseAnd to my life, whisper,"Thou art too kind".To every loved patron my word I give:Life's will be undone, for thee I shall live.
Winter is ComingI hear the wind's raspy requiemBid farewell to a long lost friend,What melancholy strains touch my eyesAs I hear the last song of a fluteWhich plays in melodies of acheFrom the heart of seasons past,Nature's bled, yet ne'er this hueAnd amber cloaks the morning dew.Weakening wings that turn and tearIn hope of quietus or sunshineRelay in fear, both near and farA hundred tales of golden days,And by and by, a vengeful mistSettles over the dying land,There are no more tales to tellAs open the gates of a colder hell.And time shivers the night awayIn spasms of rain, hail and snow,And the feeble day lies in slumberShy to clear his strident throat,Enfevered are the GracesThat dressed the rich yesterday,Mother Nature does the poorest save;Few beds are warmer than the grave.The last leaf prances in the airFree from the manacles of birth,And now the quiet hours approachOf solitude and remembrance.A whisper sheaths another quill,A prayer weaves another will,A solstice
By the StrandI still breathe your name by the wavering shoreAnd cast away to the sail winds a songAnd close my eyes and evermore belongTo the unfed brine and its yearning roar.The distant lamps polish the incensed green,A flock of fallen stars upon the bayAlights a dream of a submerged dayAnd strokes in feud a mind's browbeaten scene. And standing by the strand I pace and skewIn hope a rising crest will fell or hideYour voice; yet each raw spate, each rippling tideBorrows to bestow an echo of you.
Something's MissingI will not miss you like a child misses a blanketor a year misses a season which has just passedor as childhood is remembered from furrowed brows;the parched lips that had once drunk fromthe fountain of youth.No,nor will I miss you like a widowed larkthat stays up all night believing inmelodic necromancy -- I do not believe in such things,as I do not believe in a god I forsook,when I realized I did not miss himas I missed the comfort of ignorance,Nay, I cannot miss you like a poem misses its musein verses,which miss her till eternity diesor a juvenile favour that leaves onebenevolent and misses benevolence for all of its days.No.Instead I must miss you like an accepted part of every day -- the ticking of clocks, the buzzing of gadflies,the first few moments after awakening that misses a dreamor the Korean vase upon the chiffonierwhich misses last week's dahliasor the street dog misses its late keeper-of-crumbsor an ink quill misses the words it boreor a poet m
InnocenceAs these dry creases cleave your cloakAnd seasons past rebate your yolk,To time, do not look forth and ask For time; another velvet mask,Instead applaud his youthful faceIn every child; his peace returnsAstute that brimful, lively vaseReserves its brew for marble urns.Yet for a spell she hid your eyesFrom mirrors, winters and disguise;Such days were spent in ceaseless toilTo purge her blindfold and each coilWhich did protect you from tort sights,Uneven senses, ample dearth,But what her purpose truly citesGave everything its waning worth.The ticking clock, a trifle thence: A deafness we call innocence.
Sonnet XXIINight and day I have yearned for day and night;Now two apostles greet my early eye,Awakens dawn with charms of evening's spriteAnd eve will dawn with dawn's serrated spy;The wily weed will ornament the leaf,The prideful leaf will grace each petal bareAnd though a jennelise plays envy's thief,A weed devised measure for beauty's share.Where dwells a prize in priceless thoughts and mull? What joys allow repose once left behind? Is that gray partridge spiritless and dullFlat meat before it meets the meaty mind?All happiness of man can only swayIn tides of tomorrow and yesterday.
AwayI want to fly away,up, in the sky.down, back to earth.I wantI want to go.Away, anywhere, nowhere, somewhere.Just go,Leave, let go, live.I want to fly away,somewhere I can stay.
Scratcheswe're dancing in that narrow expanse where the only soundis the contraction of a writhing unwilling heart;we're finding our way back to the surface throughlayers like paper ceilings and puppet stringsand we're tied out by our own shortcomings- snakedlike a noose, fangs nip at our heels andwe've lost control, and we've lost directionand we've lost ourselves in the people that meannothing. we curl up like a tapeworm deep insideesophagus' and promise we'll never leave(oh please promise me you'll share my heartwhen the anemic night comes)leaden feet and feather eyes, I can't see whatyou mean but I found an answer betweenthe gravity of my hands meeting the ground againas the world refuses to catch me-breathing is not an instinct, it is a learned trait(we are lists of remedies and ailments)I will never rememberhow to scrap the floor back together whenmy demons tear through and devour beamslike false senses of security,[again] we are lists of wants and
Thank You For BreathingI'm that trickle down your neck last week when you got upset.That friend you've never met;That kid you teased for being a teachers pet.That kid who stays quiet when you get on his nerves;The one who never got picked first;The best at being last; Never been late for class; never got noticed for staying on task.Know that's there's something special about being different.I can't explain it; not sure if it's a gift or curse. It'sSomething about it makes me want to pick up a pen and write verses.I feel like maybe God entrusted this mission to us; something more than Church.Something more than the outside can comprehend and so we lock ourselves in a hurricane.To bring tears to its eye; Teen angst at its worst.But before sunshine; the storm will always be first.Life's a game of stamina. Do you have the strength to run?Life's a game of stamina. Do you have the strength to run?This is dedicated to the scars on every teen
My Foreign BeautyI once had a vision of perfection:resplendent beauty, features angelic;dark eyes enveloped my flushed affection.I stared in rapture; wholly beatific.Her exotic nature: tantalizing.She danced across my thoughts; whispering sweetpoetry in my eager ear, risingup beyond the divine. She was complete.Then I awoke to your stare, and my dreamwas dust in the wind when compared to you.Your grandeur outstripped fiction; you're a beamof vibrance in worlds black, white, and askew.Her body is lithe, her words eloquent.Her mind is unique; she'll be eminent.
the cure for everything is saltwaterand my voice is choked with pebblesand my veins are thick with inkso i'll bleed out all my lovesongswash them down the kitchen sinkand i'll tell you that i'm leavingand i'll flee this soulless townfor the silent sea is callingand i'm not afraid to drownand i'll search out quiet islandslet the blank horizons bedrench my soul in every oceansink my heart in every sea.
Sweet Little AngelsSweet Little Angels:You always loved them and cared for them deeplyThey were the joy of your life and you held them close.Until one day, sadly, they were taken from youand your heart was torn by the pain and grief...But remember always, that they will watch over youthough you might not feel them presentlyYou can hear their whispers when the wind is blowingand you can feel their warmth on the lonely nightsThey will always remain in your memoriesFor that is where you keep a part of themA loving part that will never fadeTherefore, do not think of them as being 'gone'Instead take heart in the fact that they are waitingSo that one day, you might both embrace each other once more...-Chen Yuan Wen, 6th June 2012

This week, Jimmy Fallon and Julianna Margulies teamed up for a SaturdayNight Live-esque sketch on The Tonight Show, and SNL alum Nasim Pedrad revealed her Aziz Ansari impersonation on Conan. An amazing mashup fused Orange Is the New Black with The Golden Girls, and competitive eating champion Takeru Kobayashi went up against ... a hamster. Oh, and Bryan Cranston performed a one-man "MLB on TBS" postseason show. Check out those clips and more in our weekly roundup of the best online videos:

Love is in the air at Litchfield — and not just on screen, apparently.
According to TMZ, Orange Is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli is dating one of the show's stars, Samira Wiley — and has officially filed for divorce from her husband of two years.
Apparently Martha Stewart isn't ready to cede her title of America's go-to domestic goddess to Gwyneth Paltrow just yet.
In an interview with Net-a-Porter magazine, as reported by Page Six, Stewart slammed Paltrow for her Goop endeavor and says the actress should stick to movies. "She just needs to be quiet," Stewart told the magazine.

Netflix has done it again.While the Broadcast Sitcom Assembly Line has generated shows ranging from the lukewarm (A to Z) to the downright languid (Mulaney), Netflix has trotted out (heh) BoJack Horseman, the rare show whose execution lives up to its ambition.In this fall's stale comedy landscape, BoJack is like a breath of fresh air — and it's clear that Netflix has faith in its latest project, which was renewed four days after it premiered last month. The cartoon's just-go-with-it premise follows the title character (voiced by Will Arnett), a washed-up former equine star of the '90s hit sitcom "Horsin' Around" who's trying to write his memoir. The show really finds its footing by Episode 3, which skewers ...

Question: You are probably going to get a lot of angry email about how Orange Is the New Black and True Detective didn't win any of the major Emmys. But I think they may have suffered from submitting in the wrong category, and some of the voters probably didn't want to get more viewers angry after letting both OITNB and True Detective submit in the wrong categories. So glad for Julianna Margulies' win for The Good Wife and Jim Parsons' win for The Big Bang Theory. But the biggest shock for me is Sherlock's three wins, couldn't be any happier. Which win/snub shocked you, and do you think OITNB and True Detective could have won more awards if they had submitted in the proper categories? — Aadil
Seth Meyers continued his breakout year Monday night as the host of television's biggest night, the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Hosting a major awards show is ostensibly an honor, but increasingly, in the world of live-tweeting, a thankless assignment — and one that was made even more tedious by the fact that this year's Emmy telecast occurred on a Monday. Did Meyers rise to the occasion?

*In no way is this actually real news
Patty Mills doesn't want to test the waters of free agency; rather, he wants to cruise the waters with his best buddy (BFF), the man who once dated Monica Seles. His hope is to attain a qualifying offer and the promise of a starting spot with the consent of his best friend. In order to ensure he receives these career defining offers, Mills realizes he must become even better friends with his boss (even though Mr. Allen won't allow Mills to call him that.)
Mills knows he is Mr. Allen's favorite. Two years in a row he has been the surprise winner of the Blazers' final roster spot, beating out former Blazer Ime Udoka in 2009 and being retained after Jeff Pendergraph mysteriously went down with a season ending knee injury during the preseason last year. Both years, the Blazers staff attempted to hide the Australian basketball prodigy from fans during the preseason, stashing him at the end of the bench so no fans would plead for him to get playing time. Yet on decision day, the brainchild of Microsoft, the surcharge man of Ticketmaster, made one phone call to Larry Miller and Nate McMillan and said, "You know who you need to take."
After a year that saw Mills overtake the backup point guard position from THE heir apparent (Bayless…or was it Jack…no Johnson), Mills has spent the summer trying to gain BBFF (bigger best friend forever) status with Mr. Allen. Mills told his departing buddy Rudy Fernandez he believes, in addition to receiving the Blazers' qualifying offer, he can be given the key to Portland's backcourt with Mr. Allen's blessing.
Yesterday, Mills was seen on Mr. Allen's famed yacht teaching him Australian rules football. Mills recruited Mr. Allen's 34 largest body guards and erected titanium goal posts on the SSW corner of the north deck of Mr. Allen's yacht (three stories above the torpedoes). After slipping each bodyguard $20 Australian dollars to go easy on Mr. Allen, Mills ensured his BBFF would be victorious in his inaugural game, allowing him to score the deciding goal. After the game, the two were scene watching a documentary about the origins of Microsoft that gave sole credit in the creation of Microsoft to Mr. Allen.
We will know by Thursday whether Mills' efforts paid off. Stay tuned…
If felton picked to speed up backcourt mills is ideal to retain. last season McMillan ran a slow backcort and it did not work. mills was unsuited to that style of play but would be if felton plan works. Mills played as directed by his coach.
I agree with your assessment. However, I would be surprised if Mills is retained after the Blazers drafted Nolan Smith. Unfortunately, Mills seems like the odd man out.
I like Mills, he's a sparkplug. I just wish he was a better shooter. He's like our own little Eddie House. I still think that Babbitt & Armon have secured a spot on the lisst of expendables.

3 reasons why these Top 250 companies beat the odds

Something in Common(s)
QLT is heavily invested in Kona Commons, the biggest shopping complex on the Big Island, with 630,000 square feet of store space. The trust is leasing 65 acres to the developers, The MacNaughton Group and The Kobayashi Group.
"As the center grows, we grow, and we get percentage rent on some of these," Ozaki says. Phase one is open for business, with big name stores such as Petco, Sports Authority, Office Max and Target.
Coincidentally, Mullen credits Kona Commons as being Sunetric's breakthrough project in 2008. "That's basically our flagship," he says. That's where the company installed the largest rooftop photovoltaic system in the state, which produces a little more than 1 million kilowatt hours of energy a year – enough to power more than 100 homes, Mullen says.

Call to Artists: Interactive Transportation and Info Substation, Shreveport, LA (Deadline 11/16/11)
CommonLink, An Interactive Transportation and Information SubStation, Shreveport , LA
BUDGET: $100,000 for technical design
DEADLINE: Wednesday, November 16, 2011, MIDNIGHT (C.S.T.)
The Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC) on behalf of the City of Shreveport is seeking to commission an artist or artist-led design team to create a unique vision for CommonLink, Shreveport's first interactive transportation and information substation that will serve as the hub for all forms of transportation, information, communication, and community engagement. The design of CommonLink will launch the development of Shreveport's Cultural District, SHREVEPORT COMMON, which will transform a neglected, 9-block area in the western part of downtown Shreveport.
The selected artist will create a unique vision for the block-long CommonLink with a design that will house a bus shelter, taxi stand, shuttle stop, seating, and an interactive communication center that will provide assistance to tourists and residents alike by providing maps and historical information, giving walking, biking and transportation information, as well as recommending restaurants, events, and attractions. The successful design for CommonLink will also integrate parking for mopeds and a police car, a security "blue light"system, charging stations, ATM, Wi-Fi, green areas, innovative lighting, and bike racks that will be designed by local artists.
More than a transportation station, CommonLink is envisioned as a "transformation station" - the critical first-step in defining, developing, and populating this historic downtown cultural district. CommonLink will serve the current and future residents of SHREVEPORT COMMON, bring visitors to the area for events and tours, and create a place that not only dignifies public transportation while encouraging pedestrian and bicycle traffic, but makes it fun, exciting and informative.

I just voted in a USA TODAY.com Poll. The current tally is 10.3 million votes cast with a 97% of the vote confirming that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to keep and bear arms.
Please take a moment and cast your vote in favor of this important Amendment.
It seems like they weren't happy with the poll results the first time, so USA today is running another one... here's a chance for all of us to vote.
Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already stated that this is one of his major ambitions. He, along with the President, do not believe the 2nd Amendment gives Americans the right to keep and own a gun.
Once you vote, please pass the link on to everyone in your address book who believes in the Bill of Rights.
This year will become critical for gun owners and wanna be gun owners with the Supreme Court accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to keep and bear arms.
Please vote – it only takes about 4 seconds - then we'll see if the results get published in USATODAY.com later this month.

text: Will Lee has returned to his roots to kick off his campaign for the Senate. A prominent lawyer, he has come back to his hometown of Delano, Georgia, to plan his strategies...and to argue an explosively controversial case that could seriously damage his political career. For Delano is a town with a dark secret - a smoldering hotbed of racial hatred and moral outrage, held in the thrall of a sinister white-supremacist group called The Elect... a breeding ground for violent, evil forces that will stop at nothing to keep the candidate out of office. At first, Will Lee was running for the Senate. But now he is running for his life.--This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Bruiser Brigade: +20 Energy per Knockout
I am The Hybrid
A mutant is an individual, organism, or new genetic character, arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is a base-pair sequence change within the DNA of a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the wild type. The natural occurrence of genetic mutations is integral to the process of evolution. The study of mutants is an integral part of biology, by understanding the effect that a mutation in a gene has it is possible to establish the normal function of that gene.[2] In some organisms mutants can be created by gene targeting to assess the function of any given gene. This experimental approach is called reverse genetics[3]. For example, a collection of knockout moss mutants can be used to identify genes with so far unknown functions [4].

|Wade returns to Heat lineup, active against SuperSonics
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 14 November 2007 13:12
Miami's All-Star guard, recovered from offseason shoulder and knee surgeries, was on the active roster for the first time this season Wednesday night, when the Heat faced the Seattle SuperSonics.
Wade's return couldn't come at a better time for the Heat, who entered the night with a 1-6 record and are averaging an NBA-worst 83.3 points.
But having Wade - who averaged a career-high 27.4 points last season - is sure to help in both of those categories.
Wade had surgery on his left shoulder and left knee May 15, and was told by doctors that the rehabilitation process would last six months. Thursday is the six-month anniversary of those procedures.
The shoulder - which was dislocated in February - no longer necessarily concerns Wade, who said earlier this month that it's stronger than his right one.
But the knee was Wade's primary source of worry over the past couple weeks. He had surgery to relieve the condition commonly called ``jumper's knee'' and said he didn't want to return to the Heat lineup until he was convinced that the joint could hold up to the rigors of NBA life.
Team doctors cleared him for full-contact practice earlier this month and Wade began those workouts Nov. 5, although he was able to participate in certain on-court drills since training camp began about a month earlier.

THOMAS COUNTY, GA (WALB) –A Thomasville car dealership is teaming up with two well-known charities to bring joy to less fortunate children this Christmas.
Flowers Nissan collects donations for Toys for Tots every year.
But they say this year they'll keep accepting new, unwrapped toys all the way up to Christmas Eve.
The toys will go to the Salvation Army's list of emergency families who qualified for Christmas Assistance after the sign-ups in October.
"We've had two pickups already and have a full box now," says David Flowers, the owner of Flowers Nissan. "It was a little slow at the beginning of the month but it seems everyone is doing their Christmas shopping late."
Officials say all the toys will be distributed within Thomas County.
Flowers Nissan expects to end their Toys for Tots campaign with more than 500 toys donated.

EsPoir is a short platformer in which you will be chased in the darkness by a strange, hellish creature.
Will you ever find a way out ?
How to Play :
- Use the arrow keys to move
- Use the up arrow/ctrl/space to jump
- You will die if you ever get hit by the creature or fall on spikes, and it means you have to restart the current level.
- The game was made in a short time for a contest, and thus, it is very short. There are only 3 levels which can be beaten in less than a minute each, but it will most likely take a casual gamer 10 minutes to complete.
- There are two possible endings ; to get the hidden one, try playing the last level differently...
Have fun and spread the game ! :)
I love the idea of this game and the art and style and all of that. keep up the great work!
It was a pretty decent game.
Like most though, the lag cost me my life more times than actually getting caught by the monster or the spikes combined.
It was really frustrating, which is a good thing. No point in playing a game that makes you feel nothing at all.
Anyways, I'll give a 3.5
I would have given a 4/4.5, if not for the lag. :L
Good concept. I cant see anything. the game is so damn small...
For a game with only a few levels, I really enjoy it. Getting the second ending kept me occupied for a while. I do wish the hidden ending would have had more to it though...
For those who don't know how to get the second ending: on the level where you have to pick up two keys (the third level I think), when you get to the gold key next to the silver door, don't open the door; turn around instead. Unless you're a pro at platformer games (unlike me), you're going to spend quite a bit of time getting the second ending.
Not a terrible game by any means, but a short one. Which means because of the way it plays, thru remembering where and how to advance, the game becomes a chore of repetitivness quickly. I liked hat there were different ways the levels played out and how you use the gamer instinct of "i see it, so I must grab it" mentality, which has to do with the endings. I wish this were longer, with larger levels to try to get past. I can only reccomend this game for the points you can earn for your profile on Newgrounds. Sorry.

Theodor Uhlig
Theodor Uhlig (Wurzen, Saxony, 15 February 1822 - Dresden, 3 January 1853) was a German viola-player, composer and music critic.
Uhlig and Wagner[edit]
The illegitimate son of King Frederick Augustus II of Saxony,[1] Uhlig became a member of the Dresden orchestra at the age of 19. In the following year (1842), Richard Wagner came to Dresden for the premiere of his opera, Rienzi, and remained in the city as Kapellmeister until his flight following the May Uprising in the city of 1849 (in which he had taken a leading part).
Although originally opposed to Wagner, Uhlig quickly became a passionate convert. A tangible sign of his devotion was his arrangement of Wagner's opera Lohengrin for piano. Uhlig defended Wagner in magazine articles and reviews; Wagner wrote of him in his autobiography Mein Leben that he
grasped with clear understanding and perfect agreement those very tendencies of mine which many musicians of apparently wider culture than his own regarded with almost despairing horror.
During the early years of Wagner's exile from Germany Uhlig remained one of his most important contacts and the source of an extensive correspondence until Uhlig's early death in 1853 (from consumption). Although Uhlig's letters to Wagner have not survived, there are nearly 100 letters from Wagner to Uhlig from 1849 to 1853, many of them very lengthy.[2] In these the composer is often very frank about his own moods and depression, and frequently abusive of others, including mutual friends (e.g. accusing his former secretary Ritter of onanism)[3]
Uhlig in part repaid Wagner by a series of articles, published in 1850, caustically attacking the opera Le prophète by Wagner's supposed enemy, Giacomo Meyerbeer. In a series of six essays in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, entitled 'Contemporary Reflections', Uhlig castigated the music of the opera and attacked Meyerbeer personally, not least as a representative of 'Hebraic art-taste' (Meyerbeer was Jewish).[4] Wagner picked up on this phrase as an excuse to launch his virulent attack Jewishness in Music. Uhlig was involved in the negotiations for the publication of this pamphlet.[5]
Wagner later dedicated to Uhlig his major essay Opera and Drama. It was also to Uhlig that he first wrote of his intentions to create his Ring Cycle as a series of four operas.[6] In this letter Wagner asks Uhlig to 'borrow' for him a book that needs about the Volsunga saga from the Dresden Royal library.
Uhlig as composer and critic[edit]
Uhlig's compositions, which are now completely forgotten, were extensive (running up to opus number 84). They included orchestral and chamber works, songs and Singspiele. He also wrote thoughtfully about other musical topics, including the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Liszt, and on phrase structure in music.[7]

September 24, 2007
KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- A Knoxville man has been arrested and charged with first degree murder in the nearly three-year-old Johnia Berry case, Knox County Sheriff J.J. Jones said Monday.
Taylor Lee Olson, 22, of Knoxville, is charged in a seven count indictment that includes felony murder, pre-meditated first degree murder, attempted first degree murder and aggravated burglary.
He was indicted by a Knox County grand jury on Monday.
Olson was taken into custody in the parking lot of West Town Mall on Friday.
He's being held on a $1 million bond.
On Monday as he was being escorted by sheriff's deputies, Olson said he "didn't mean for it to happen. It was an accident."
What led investigators to Olson?
Sheriff Jones said Olson's became "a person of interest" four to five months ago after investigators received a tip.
The sheriff also said there's no evidence to support that Olson knew Berry or her roommate, Jason Aymami, who was wounded in the same attack that killed Johnia Berry.
Prior criminal record
Olson has a prior criminal record in two counties. The crimes include:
Olson voluntarily submitted his DNA when he was charged with violating his probation on July 27. Authorities say it matched DNA samples collected in the Berry case.
Murder case is nearly three years old
Berry, who was 21, was stabbed multiple times in her apartment in the Brendon Park complex in West Knox County on December 6, 2004. Her roommate, Jason Aymami, was wounded but got away, ran to a Weigel's a half mile away and called 911.
When police arrived at the crime scene they found Berry alive outside another apartment, but she died shortly afterward.
Sheriff's detectives say they have interviewed more than 1,000 people in connection with the case and submitted over 400 DNA samples.
Several CDs and a car stereo that didn't belong to Johnia or her roommate were found at the scene, leading many people to believe the murder began as a break-in. However, there was no evidence of forced entry.
Berry was an ETSU graduate who had moved to Knoxville to start graduate school. She was also engaged to be married the next spring.
In Knoxville, Berry worked as a holiday staffer at a local jewelry store and at Peninsula Hospital.
Her roommate later moved to Colorado.
The sheriff's office repeatedly turned down requests by the Berry family to bring in a national TV show, such as America's Most Wanted, to help with the investigation. In a statement in December 2006, the sheriff's office said it continued to believe the suspect was in the local area.
DNA legislation honors Berry
Johnia Berry's parents, Joan and Mike Berry, pushed for the 2007 passage of state DNA legislation. In her honor, it was named the Johnia Berry Act.
The law requires anyone arrested for a violent crime to give a DNA sample. It goes into effect on January 1, 2008 but it's not funded yet.
The Berrys are hoping people will call their legislators and even Gov. Bredesen's office to ask them to find a way to fund the program.
"In the end, Johnia is still gone and I'm still heart broken," Joan Berry said after the announcement about Olson's charges.

Have Documentaries or Narrative Films had a bigger impact on you?
As a film student who is also concerned with leaving the world a better place, I constantly find myself asking: What is the best way to tell a story? My question to you is, "Have documentaries or narrative films had a greater impact on your life?" Share your stories. What films have moved you and what have they moved you to do?

Jun 18 2012: Documentaries have had a life-changing impact on me... it is the only kind of television/movies i watch (other than the news). It is a great source of information on specific issues but it is very important to note that they can be a bit biased, favoring the person or organization making the documentary.
"Food Inc." has left the biggest impression on me; great watch if your into knowing more about factory farming, GMO's, and the everyday food we eat.

Spy-Fi Poll 004: Results
Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma's predecessor, and Tara King (Linda Thorson), Emma's successor, each garnered a single vote, tying them to a distant second place. Purdey (Joanna Lumley) of The New Avengers, didn't manage a single vote (although, personally, she's my second favorite "Steed girl.").
I voted for the lovely Mrs. Peel, myself. There's no question that when most spy-fi fans think of The Avengers, it's Steed & Mrs. Peel that first come to mind, no matter how capable and attractive the other distaff Avengers may have been. It was Emma Peel, with her fighting leathers and mod outfits, her wry charm and insouciant wit, that set the mold and style for female spies of the era and beyond. Even today, a black leather catsuit is the default uniform for any pop culture spy gal, from comics like Danger Girl to Mimi Rogers and Elizabeth Hurley in the first Austin Powers parody.
Thanks to everyone that voted, and check out the new poll in the sidebar.

Yay for Mrs. "man-appeal" Emma Peel! I didn't vote in time but she certainly wins in my book, as well. I enjoy what the other characters brought to the show, and to Steed's nuances, but Mrs. Peel managed to be both Spy Vibe cool, super smart, and so very witty- all with an authentic depth and honesty that is lacking when modern actresses try to force it.
This new vote has me stumped. The worst re-make? I am torn between WWW and ISpy. Can't wait to see how the voting turns out. And I hope some smarter re-makes will come to us someday- or better- that we get to write the smarter re-makes :)

I will admit that I voted for Emma, but changed my vote to Cathy Gale when it looked as though she wouldn't get any votes. She was as much Steed's equal as Emma, was tough (a judo master!), and even wore the leather suit first. If the quality of the episodes she was in was better (both in terms of film, and in hitting the confident surrealist stride that the Emma episodes did), we might today be asking, Emma who?

We might - but we're not! Ha! I like Cathy/ Honor but she disn't draw me in like Emma/ Diana who is absolutely irreplaceable - in my life , at least :-)

One thing I like about the Cathy episodes is that she has a love/weary relationship to Steed's edgier character in the early stories. She sees through his charm and alludes to a ruthlessness in him that is interesting- especially in contrast to where the show went as it continued.

I voted for Emma. How could I not? She's probably the main reason I'm as into spies as I am! But I think it would be really interesting to see you run another poll, Christopher, asking who your favorite Avengers Girl BESIDES Emma is! That might produce interesting results. (Or maybe not.) I even like Venus Smith!

TEAMS: Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat
SACRAMENTO -- It was a game that reminded some of the way the NBA used to look. The Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors had an old-fashioned shootout displaying the best of offensive basketball and a modicum of defense here and there. When it was over, the Kings were left standing with a 131-127 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night before an announced crowd of 12,885 at Sleep Train Arena. The victory ended a five-game losing streak for the Kings (8-17). The Warriors (18-8) lost their second game in as many meetings to Sacramento despite 32 points from Stephen Curry and 29 by David Lee, who also had eight rebounds. The Kings got 24 points from DeMarcus Cousins, 23 by Aaron Brooks, 19 from Marcus Thornton and 17 by John Salmons. Brooks and Thornton combined to score the bulk of the Kings' points down the stretch by playing off each other, setting up wide-open three-point attempts. Brooks scored a season-high and maybe more importantly helped...

Holiday Gift Guide: For Chocoholics
The best gifts for Hong Kong chocolate lovers
Much like alcohol (specifically, limited edition liquor), we don't know anyone who doesn't like chocolate. So, make it easy for yourself this Christmas by picking from our list of the best gifts in Hong Kong for chocoholics. Trust us, you can't go wrong!
Chocolate bird by Thomas Trillion
Thomas Trillion's Christmas creations would have any chocoholic squealing like a child (or was that just us?). Dainty, detailed and cute, we love the chocolate bird cage (HK$788) and chocolate castle (HK$738) the most, both of which would make a great centrepiece on the dinner table.
Everything in this chocolate bird creation is edible, even the leaves.
The renowned pastry chef has also created a crystal ball range (HK$158) with a Santa, snowman, reindeer, penguin or robot inside.
Thomas Trillion, G/F, No 17 Wing Hing Street, Triumphant Court, North Point, Hong Kong, +852 2806 0332, www.thomastrillion.com
Christmas Stars gift box by La Maison du Chocolat
If life is like a box of chocolates, then a box of Christmas Stars by La Maison du Chocolat is definitely heaven.
This Christmas Stars gift box is a decadent gift for anyone.
The special edition box (HK$820 for 285 grams, HK$1,300 for 455 grams) is filled with a variety of chocolate ganaches made with Christmas spices, almond paste and walnuts with forest honey, plus candied fruits, glazed chestnut and Champagne Blanc de Blancs.
La Maison du Chocolat, Shop 109, Prince's Building, 10 Chater Road, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2801 4122, www.lamaisonduchocolat.com
Choco-people by Black n White
Chef Koo has created an adorable set of choco-snowman, choco-reindeer and even a choco-Koo (HK$338) -- yes, a miniature version of himself -- with golden chocolate hazelnut.
Chef Koo's miniature choco-people are super adorable.
Or, grab a few of the choco-spheres (HK$68 each), a handmade chocolate Christmas ornament withd ark chocolate pearls inside.
Black n White, Shop B & D, 88-102 Ivy Street, Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, +852 2789 1330, www.blacknwhite.com.hk
Macaroon Christmas tree by Jean Paul Hévin
Who can resist a pyramid of 24 macaroons in the shape of a Christmas tree (HK$620 for 24 pieces or HK$1,288 for 60 pieces) or Jean Paul Hévin's 'Metallica Coffret', filled with tins of almonds, truffles and chocolate pearls, plus delicious iced chestnuts from Turin.
Save a tree and eat macaroons instead.
Or treat your loved one to the Christmas macaroon with dark chocolate, pistachio and cherry ganache, a new ganache with pure dark chocolate fig and yuzu almond paste or the rare caviar hot chocolate at the newly restyled Lyndhurst Terrace boutique.
Jean Paul Hévin, 13 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2851 0633, www.jphevin.com.hk
Chocolate Bon Bons by Ms B's
Besides her beautiful cakes, Ms. B's also has a great selection of handmade chocolate bon bons and coffee beans.
Bon bons by Bonnie Gokson are a no-fail gift.
They include the dark or milk chocolate coated raspberry jelly bon bons (HK$380 for 300 grams), dark or chilli chocolate coated coffee beans (HK$320 for 130 grams) and white chocolate coated cranberry coffee beans (HK$320 for 130 grams).

Questions & Answers
"Hello, can this sectional be changed to the other side?" asked by Shemika
Wholesale Interiors Baxton Studio Kaspar Cotton Sectional
Rachel from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
We probably should have done more research...We've had this couch for a little over a year. This fabric is a terrible choice if you have a dog.. we've bought multiple vacuums, attachments, etc. and the fabric has become really worn trying to get the embedded dog hair out of the fabric. And even with extra non-slip grips under the cushions, they still slide out of place... all.the.time. It's a great color and size, but I would think again before buying.
great sofa for practical family
Karen from Weston, FL– Verified Buyer
great fabric-love the slipcovers easy velco attachment for washing. Large and spacious. Seat cushions moved around so I secured with more velco and works well.

Facebook has been playing a vital role in global internet activity and has been one of the effective mediums in reaching out to potential customers for different businesses. Many individuals and business establishments are utilising the opportunity on Facebook for promotional campaigns and sales activities.
Establishing a web presence on Facebook is not that easy especially since there are lots of merchants who have already established their own businesses on the walls of Facebook. In order to capture the attention of potential customers, a Facebook page should not just store information about the products, but must also have engaging and creative design, as well as content.

They are frozen in time without the means of being updated and corrected.
The fact that, once printed, they can't be altered makes them important. Yes, the information may be out of date, incorrect or insensitive. It is important that we read them anyway so that we understand our cultural heritage - the basis by which our ancestors made the decisions which define us today.
They have no link to related knowledge, debates, and sources.
Bibliographies and footnotes are certainly links, but they require work (horror!), time and occasionally the learning of an archaic language in order to review. I'm not sure if Jeff objects to getting out of his chair in order to check sources or the undue strain of the research that refuting an argument requires.
They create, at best, a one-way relationship with a reader.
True, if you read the book and move on. If, however, the book moves you or raises your curiosity you do have the option of writing to the author. Not surprisingly, authors are genuinely interested in hearing what readers have to say and often respond when clarification is needed or a cogent point is made by the reader.
They try to teach readers but don't teach authors.
Authors must stand up to, and address (or ignore) criticism of their work, just as often as bloggers do. It may lack immediacy, but Jeff might try to write a book to see just how much he learns.
They tend to be too damned long because they have to be long enough to be books.
On one hand, yes. The book industry publishes books in a certain page range and I've read my share that should have been 100 or less pages. On the other hand - you don't have to read every word, sentence or paragraph in a book (at least nonfiction).
As David Weinberger taught me, they limit how knowledge can be found because they have to sit on a shelf under one address; there's only way way to get to it.
That is what library catalogue systems are for. Besides, if a book is classified in a place you wouldn't intuitively guess, you often find gems shelved around it.
They are expensive to produce.
True. But they don't depend upon electricity, computers, or technical knowledge.
They depend on scarce shelf space.
Again, true. But they are also portable, readable in the bathtub and can be dried out and still work if they get wet.
They depend on blockbuster economics. They can't afford to serve the real mass of niches. They are subject to gatekeepers' whims.
Check out the huge number of small publishers or self-publishers. There are A-List books just like there are A-List blogs, but there as many niche books out there as niche blogs.
They aren't searchable.
They aren't linkable.
But they are citable. And you can link to a source that carries the book - whether Amazon or a library.
They have no metadata.
Library of Congress keywords.
They carry no conversation.
Aaah, but some of the best conversations take place within yourself when you puzzle out something you are reading.
They are thrown out when there's no space for them anymore.
Or recycled, sold second-hand or donated to others.
Print is where words go to die.
Only if you happen to be financially able to own the technology that can present non-book based mediums. Only if you have cheap, readily available electricity.
If you were stuck in a shelter for two weeks after a hurricane, with no electricity or internet access, would you rather have a computer or an armload of books and magazines?

Dear Breastfeeding Advocate, I've heard you loud and clear. You say formula is poison. I understand that you're just really gung-ho about breastfeeding, and you're trying to make a point. You care about babies and moms.
But please, can you just take a moment and read those words out loud?
Is that what you really mean to say?
Do you think that moms who give their babies formula are trying to kill them? That's what poison does, right?
Do you think these moms should go to jail for child abuse? That's what happens to moms who feed their kids other poisons -- rat poison, pesticides ...
More from The Stir: Breastfeeding Moms Could Need Formula More Than They Know
Would you tell that to a mother who just adopted a baby, who has no choice but to put a bottle in the mouth of her precious little girl? Is she selfish; is she abusive for choosing bottle over breast?
What about the mom who had a double mastectomy because she had breast cancer? Her milk ducts are gone, but thanks to the the miracle of egg harvesting, she's living her dream of being a mom. Is she a child abuser? An attempted murderer?
She is, after all, knowingly feeding her child -- as you call it -- poison.
Still standing behind your hyperbole?
If you haven't guessed by now, I too fed my daughter formula.
Not at first. I had every intention of breastfeeding from the moment I became pregnant. No, before that. I was breastfed. My husband was breastfed.
I think breastfeeding is far superior to bottlefeeding.
I say that now. I say that even though my daughter was raised primarily on formula.
I think breastfeeding is the best thing that can be done for a baby.
That is why, when I couldn't do it, it tore me in two. I spent hours crying. I was paralyzed by a fear so deep that I couldn't leave my house. Literally, stepping off the porch made me hyperventilate.
There was no one to help me. There are no lactation consultants where I live. There is no La Leche League. I didn't have a mother there to help me get the proper latch.
When I turned to the Internet for help, I found a lot of angry women like you, women who were quick to judge me for allowing my husband to give our daughter a bottle of formula, women who dismissed me and coldly told me how selfish and useless I was.
This was their way of "encouraging me to breastfeed."
I gave up after two weeks of crying and paralyzing fear and sore nipples and pumping one breast that quite simply never filled with milk, no matter how hard I tried to encourage it to produce.
I gave up and gave my daughter formula.
I gave up and gave my daughter something to sate her insatiable hunger.
You say I gave her poison. I say I gave her life.
I gave her a mother who could go on anti-depressants to fight the demons in her head. I gave her something to fill her tummy and help her grow big and strong.
She is almost 8 years old now, and still I feel guilty that she wasn't breastfed. I feel guilty even though she's never had an ear infection and, up until this year when a wicked virus made its way through her elementary school, never been sick for more than a day or two. I feel guilty even though she's an active soccer player and dancer who makes good grades and stays up late reading Pippi Longstocking and Ramona Quimby. I feel guilty even though her smile brightens a room and her laughter lights up my life.
I feel guilty in my heart even though my head tells me not to.
I feel guilty because every time I make the mistake of reading about breastfeeding and formula, I'm faced with you, dear breastfeeding advocate, telling me that the very thing that helped keep my daughter alive was poison.
So tell me, are you proud of yourself?
Do you still think formula is poison?
A mom just like you

Everyone has their opinions. I refuse to explain any of my decisions to anyone.
Someone made a comment about my coffee habit, so I asked if they were with the pregnancy police.
Someone asked me what my sons name would be, they pretty much tried to pressure me to make him a Jr. I said hell, no.
you get my point, people always know what you should do more than you.
Wow. I almost cried cause I was in the SAME exact boat. All those mom's out there made me feel like a incompitant mother who could not provide for her daughter naturally. The doctor even prescribed me medicaiton to help me lactate... nothing worked. I relate to this post 100%. My daughter ended up being formula fed and scores high in the charts as far a healthy kid goes. And her iron levels are SO WELL that they couldn't even record it. How amazing is that. I didn't make the wrong decision and I'm not going to feel bad about it either. I made the right choice to FEED my daughter. And I have a lot to show for it.
Thank you for this post. It was very enlightening.
