Murder and arson are among the deadly perils facing alcohol retailers in Baghdad, the Associated Press reported Sept. 15.
Iraq is a predominantly Muslim nation, but it is still legal to buy and sell alcohol. However, the rise of religious extremism has made life dangerous for mainly Christian and Yazidi alcohol sellers. Liquor stores have been bombed, and some Iraqis who sold alcohol from their homes have been killed by militias.
Still, alcohol sellers report brisk business leading up to the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, when all liquor stores close for the month. "Usually the buyers take bottles, but now they buy boxes," said Naim, a clerk at a liquor store on Saadoun Street. "They want to make sure they have enough until the end of the month. We are selling a lot of beers and whiskey."
Before the first Gulf War, Baghdad was known for its riverside bars and clubs where patrons could drink, eat grilled fish and be entertained by belly dancers. The southern city of Basra offered similar attractions. But after the war, Sadaam Hussein publicly embraced Islam to bolster his support, banning public consumption of alcohol and closing nightclubs.
Business boomed after Saddam's ouster, with some selling alcohol on the streets, but the rise of religious parties and their militias crushed that business. Now, alcohol may only be sold legally in two locations in Baghdad: on Saadoun Street and in the Karradi Mariam area, just outside the Green Zone.
One Iraqi seller of cheap alcohol said that most of his clients are Muslim. "Christians and Yazidis sell, and Muslims drink," he said.

Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) announced yesterday he intends to run for governor, but Joe Mirabella points out that his past statements against the LGBT community could lose him the votes he needs. In 2004, he compared same-sex marriage to polygamy and incest, claiming, "It threatens to destroy all standards we apply to the right of marriage." Washington has marriage-like domestic partnerships and recently started recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages.

Racial equality should include all rights and privileges even the right to showcase your vanity, competitiveness, and complete misunderstanding of genuine love. But somehow, minority groups have been denied this basic human entitlement. The Bachelor premiered in 2002, spawning its sister series The Bachelorette a year later. Collectively, the programs have broadcast 23 seasons, with 23 different central stars all white. A Nashville-based group, led by football players Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the ABC series on the grounds of racial discrimination against people of color.
THR reports that Johnson claims to have shown up at a Bachelor casting call, only to be approached immediately by an employee asking why he was there. Johnson's application was taken by the employee, but he was never contacted thereafter.
The lawsuit states, ""The deliberate exclusion of people of color from the roles of the Bachelor and Bachelorette underscores the significant barriers that people of color continue to face in media and the broader marketplace,"" and that the series ""plainly prohibits whites from refusing to contract with African Americans because of their race.""
The suit continues, ""Moreover, studies show that images presented in the media play a substantial role in the formation of peoples' racial attitudes and opinions. The absence of Bachelors and Bachelorettes of color suggests, to both white viewers and viewers of color, that interracial or non-white relationships are undesirable or unworthy of the nationally broadcasted platform of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette."" ABC has not immediately responded to Hollywood.com's request for comment.
As far as occupations go, the series' bachelors and bachelorettes have represented a wide variety: Stars have doctors, bankers, soldiers, actors, publicists, athletes, artists, and fishermen. But as far as race goes, both programs have yet to represent a focal player who is either black or Hispanic. In March, a grassroots movement began to cast Lamar Hurd, an African-American sportscaster in Portland, Ore., as the next Bachelor, but, so far, ABC has yet to announce its next cast.
""This is a case about equal opportunity,"" attorney Cyrus Mehri said during a press conference. ""[We want to] help make this one of ABC's most profitable shows... that will better reflect this country.""

Today's Midtown Patch Picture of the Day comes from the Ansley Mall shopping center where the fast-casual rotisserie chicken restaurant Bantam & Biddy has recently opened.
Bantam & Biddy replaced the shuttered juice bar and Philly Cheese Steak shops across from Starbucks located at 1544 Piedmont Road in Suite 301.
On Monday, Dec. 3, the latest offering from Yeah! Burger founder Shaun Doty, which has been serving lunch and dinner options centered on locally raised rotisserie chicken and fresh vegetables from the local farmers market, will begin serving breakfast. A menu is included with this article and see here for more info.
Outdoor courtyard seating and a full bar inside have been added to the space that was designed by The Johnson Studio for chef Lance Gummere and his staff.
Snacks, soups and salads range from $4-$12; rotisserie chicken and entrees including pork schnitzel and Lance's chicken pot pie range from,$10-$14; while sandwiches ($10); sides ($3.25); and mini pies ($4) are also available.
The restaurant also offers delivery from Midtown-based Zifty.com. And on Monday, Dec. 10, Bantam + Biddy will donate 10 percent of its proceeds after 5 p.m. to support the nonprofit Open Hand.
Have you tried Bantam + Biddy yet? Let us know what you think of the new restaurant in the comment section below.

Still don't care for an iPad. Rather have Notebook or Netbook where I can do more than this thing.
I don't care for it either. Not saying it's bad, just don't need one.
Still not worth getting because I just bought a laptop that's faster and does more than this thing ever will. If it ever does what my laptop can it'll be called a MacBook not an iPad...
I love my ipad now, can't wait for the next ipad2 from apple lol.
im still holding out for the next iPad, this just frustrates me. Due to the lack of competition and popularity Apple isn't going to change anything on it for awhile.
I use my iPad every single day and night.
Can't wait for the new one next year.
Hello friends,
My brother has a amazon kindle reader. I was envy of his gadget. But now I have bought a ipad , and now, he is envy of me... Please suggest me from where to get ipad skins ? Is Decalskin.com: iPad skins, Cell Phone skins, EEE PC Skins, Laptop skins, and Game System skins a good place ?

Mar 1…Daily Encounter
…What are you thinking?
…… Phil 3:14 "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
…A recent study indicated that our preoccupations are a factor in our well being. According to the study, the most common topics that preoccupy our thoughts are: money or finances, food, our weight, sex, work, and relationships. Paul had the right idea. He said that his preoccupation was living the purpose that God had for Him. Our lives are a journey with heaven as the intended destination. For us to enjoy the journey, we must focus on what matters. If you are preoccupied with anything less than what God is doing in your life, you will set yourself up for disappointment. Make God's work in and through you, your journey with Him, the preoccupation of your life today, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that what you are doing will last forever.." and that is a prize worth living, and dying, for.

COMBAT BOOTS - forever21 - $29.80
smells a little.. well, fake, but at $29.80.. why complain? Air them out, spritz some perfume on them, and you're good to go!
comparable to the style of ALDO's $120.00 "Popat" boot. (which i might get courtesy of my discount *smirk* )
I've actually gotten a lot of compliments with these boots and people have been asking me where I got them so they could get a pair for themselves. Compared to the "Popat" shoes, the ones I have are definitely much simpler, which in my opinion is better.

I graduated from Cathedral Prep in 2011 and I loved it. The environment was great, the staff is amazing and I made lots of friends I'm still close to. I arrived there in 2007 when Mr. Diaz was just a teacher and saw him move up to vice-principal in my final year and to principal after I graduated. The school is very good to the alumni, as I have been back to observe classes for my college field work in education. While at the school I was on the speech team and student council all four years. I was also on the NHS and the head secretary of the NHS as a whole in the school. I had an amazing experience and hope to maybe teach there one day. CK
I am so glad my son decided to go to Cathedral . It is the best school for him , near to our home ,with excellent teachers and great parents who care about the school activities and are always ready to help. The new principal Mr Diaz is great and down to earth . Having great teachers who care about their students it is very important. We are small school but with big heart. If you have to think about a male school have as a first choice Cathedral Preparatory you will be glad.
I graduated from Cathedral Prep over 20 years ago, and I still count many Cathedral faculty and other alumni among my closest friends. This school was amazing (and still is). The rigors of student life were not easy, however, as many other students left before graduating. That being said, the ones who "made it" were excellent students and have gone on to do some amazing things in life, some within the priesthood, many as laypersons. I must say that the academics required at Cathedral made my later years in college and grad school a breeze.
My son graduated June 1, 2011. What I like about the school is the small class size that the teachers really know each student and even the rector /principal knows each student by name. My son was given a well rounded education by excellent teachers, guided and molded spiritually by priests and teachers. As a member of the National Honor's Society,he improved his leadership skills, as a member of the Forensic's Club, he gained confidence in public speaking since he is a quiet child, and community service makes him more civic minded and become a better member of society. I am really thankful for the 4 years my son spent in Cathedral Prep. I know the 4 years of education given to him by the faculty and staff of Cathedral Preparatory Seminary prepared him spiritually, educationally and mentally for the rigors of college and future endeavors. Thank you Cathedral Preparatory Seminary- rector/ principal, administration, priest, teachers and staff for helping my son developed a well rounded personality!
My son is currently a sophomore in the honors program. The class size and the devoted faculty set the students up for success. Teachernet helps keep the lines of communications open. My son is maturing and growing spiritually and academically. Students are asked to be open minded and to accept God's will for them they are not forced into the priesthood. My son is guided and encouraged to be the best Catholic gentleman he can be. The faculty is honest, supportive, and they understand teenage boys. They have reasonable expectations of students. The school offers honors and regular classes. Incoming students and parents are concerned about Latin. Faculty assistance before and after school is available. Tutoring with National Honor Society Members also available. Your son will succeed if he makes the effort. Excellent school! Wonderful nurturing environment. Tons of extracurricular activities and sports.
I went to Cathedral for all four years of High School and I have to say that it was one of the best choices in my life. The teachers were amazing that they really care about you. The small class sizes make learning more fun and interesting.
My years at Catherdal went very fast. I had such a great time. The faculty was great. They were very spportive and helped in anyway they can. I made many friends in which I still keep in touch with. The academics was awesome. I learned a lot and was opened up to different cultural things. I also enjoyed the religious aspect. It made me really think about the priesthood and if it was something that God was calling me to do. I suggest Cathedral to all my students. I will never forget the memories.

"I can't take this anymore, Hiccup. We have a really great thing going for us!" The nineteen year-old Astrid yelled at Hiccup's back. He was on Toothless, about to fly off for a dragon world peace journey, facing the Sun that began to set in front of them. She on a white ruffled puffy shirt with a light blue corset and blue leggings. Her black shin boots didn't budge as she made no move to step closer to Hiccup. Astrid didn't even know if he was listening to her anymore. Then she sighed. "I know that you just want everyone else out there share our peace and happiness but…"
"But what?" The twenty year-old Hiccup turned and stared at her with a blank expression. It had been seventeen months since Stoick's passing. Hiccup had been given chiefdom due to his earlier years of heroics and he's been keeping the peace ever since then. Day by day,

In this comedic tale set high in the Italian Alps, Indy finds himself fighting not only Germans, but for the heart of a beautiful Italian girl. Still working as a spy, Indy is charged with sneaking behind enemy lines to lead a small group of defecting German soldiers into allied territory.

Unhealed Wounds: The Life of Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was the best-selling, most celebrated author of his time. He wove war, love, pain and death into unforgettable patchworks of prose, and sought adventure and craved risk. Behind a cheerful façade were wounds much deeper than any physical ones sustained in an eventful lifetime. Hemingway battled devastating personal wounds he found impossible to shake. Produced and Written by Karena O'Riordan.

The French Foreign Legion: The World's Most Legendary Fighting Force
For almost two hundred years one group of fighting men has held an unrivaled grip on the world's imagination. Shadowy pasts have made them outcasts. Glorious victories have made them heroes. And bitter defeats -- often in hopeless battles to the death -- have transformed them into legends. They are the men of the French Foreign Legion. Today, the mystique that surrounds these unusual soldiers still fascinates, still draws young men to enlist in their ranks. Produced by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucelli. Written by Mark Page.

The Secret Life of Edith Wharton
In 1905, all of New York was riveted by the story of Lily Bart, a stunning young woman hoping to claim her place in society through marriage to a wealthy man. As her prospects for marriage unraveled, Lily's life spiraled downward. No longer the toast of New York society, she ended up in a rooming house, alone and penniless. After drinking an overdose of sleeping medication, she died. This tragic figure whose story so captivated New York was not real. She was a character in the novel The House of Mirth. The writer who exposed the dark side of High Society was herself a member of it; Edith Wharton was in a unique position to chronicle -- and critique the upper class. She did -- mercilessly -- and her literary success came at a price. Produced and Written by Betsy Bayha.

Lowell Thomas: American Storyteller
Over the course of his illustrious career, Lowell Thomas was an adventurer, a showman, the most familiar voice in radio, a television personality and a media pioneer. He was one of the first to be called a newscaster, but through it all, one thing always was true about Lowell Thomas: he was a supreme storyteller. Produced and Written by David O'Dell.

Below are current event articles that relate to events, topics, and people found in Tales of Innocence.
A light rain was falling on the evening of 2 April 1917 as Woodrow Wilson was driven from the White House to Capitol Hill, escorted by a unit of the United States cavalry, to address a specially convened joint session of Congress. According to contemporary accounts, the 28th president looked pale and nervous. But his words betrayed not the slightest doubt or hesitancy.
These days, however, Big Pit digs tourism, not coal; the party descending into the earth are American visitors. There are no working deep-mines remaining in South Wales; already in decline, the area's coalfield was annihilated in the wake of the 1984-5 Miners' Strike, the names of the closed collieries to toll like funeral bells. Mardy. Tower. Deep Navigation. Markham. Lady Windsor. How black was my valley a century ago, on the eve of the Great War, when there were a dozen collieries within sight, and another 600 coal mines across South Wales, employing 232,000 men, who hewed 57 million tons a year, a fifth of the entire output of the United Kingdom. The very earth vibrated to the metronomic percussion of thousands of subterranean men wielding the pick. Coal for the Navy. Coal for industry. Coal for locomotives. Coal for homes.
1 HORATIO KITCHENER As the first British troops marched whistling off to the front in autumn 1914 the cliche of the hour was: "It'll be all over by Christmas." An experienced campaigner on three continents, Horatio Kitchener from Ballylongford, Co Kerry, knew it would be a long haul. As Secretary of State for War he put together the largest volunteer army the world had ever seen, and put industrial production on an efficient war footing.
Anne Mary "Bessie" Pocock hadn't always planned to be a nurse, as her niece Margaret Pocock explains. But a tragic event led her into the career that ended up becoming her life's purpose. She served for her country twice in war; first in the Boer War in Africa and again in the First World War, where she cared for soldiers injured in Gallipoli.
The National Archives currently has in its collection 1.5 million pages of handwritten diaries kept by soldiers of World War I. They're some of the most requested documents in the National Archives reading room, but until now have been accessible only to anyone who's made the trip to D.C. But now the archivisits are working to put them online, and you can help them. The project is called Operation War Diary, and it comes from a partnership between the National Archives, the citizen science initiative Zooniverse and the Imperial War Museum in the UK. The diaries have all been scanned and posted online for citizen historians to look at and transcribe. According to the project: "The war diaries contain a wealth of information of far greater interest than the army could ever have predicted. They provide unrivalled insight into daily events on the front line, and are full of fascinating detail about the decisions that were made and the activities that resulted from them."
No one nation deserves all responsibility for the outbreak of war, but Germany seems to me to deserve most. It alone had power to halt the descent to disaster at any time in July 1914 by withdrawing its "blank cheque" which offered support to Austria for its invasion of Serbia. I'm afraid I am unconvinced by the argument that Serbia was a rogue state which deserved its nemesis at Austria's hands. And I do not believe Russia wanted a European war in 1914 - its leaders knew that it would have been in a far stronger position to fight two years later, having completed its rearmament programme.
On the cobbled streets of industrial Sheffield an Indian elephant dutifully lumbered along. Her task was important - she had to cart munitions, machines and scrap metal around the city, a job previously done by three horses taken off to war. Lizzie - as she was known - was used to performing tricks as part of a travelling menagerie. But with the outbreak of World War One she was conscripted to help with heavy labour, fitted with a harness and sent to work at a scrap metal merchants.
World War II was over, I was out of the Air Force and out of college, and somehow I found myself in Havana, Cuba, selling flatware. This had little to do with becoming a writer, but there were compensations: the mystique of an alien culture, the balmy Caribbean, and the fact that my idol, Ernest Hemingway, lived there. But how could I ever meet this venerated celebrity? "Oh, you want to meet Papa?" said my new friend Roberto Herrera. Roberto was a Spaniard who had fled the Franco regime. "He goes everyday to El Floridita. I will arrange." To my astonishment, he did. Somehow, I knew that my life would be changed forever.
British archaeologists recently discovered more than 40 German U-boats sunk during World War I off the coast of England. Now they are in a race against time to learn the secrets hidden in their watery graves. On the old game show "What's My Line?" Briton Mark Dunkley might have been described with the following words: "He does what many adventurers around the world can only dream of doing." Dunkley is an underwater archeologist who dives for lost treasures. His most recent discoveries were anything if not eerie.
A blogger passionate about historic photography techniques serendipitously found some old photos inside his newly-purchased camera. As in, World War I old. Last week, Anton Orlov of the Photo Palace blog was cleaning the Jumelle Belllieni stereoscopic camera that he'd bought at an antique store a few days prior, and found the images completely by accident. According to his blog, he opened the film chamber and saw the negatives on a stack of glass plates.

Weekend Homework: Penfolds from Australia and Cato Corner Farm's "Hooligan"
Did you do your homework this weekend? The wine assignment was open-ended: just find a bottle of Penfolds from Australia and enjoy. The cheese assignment was also enticing: a nice wash-rind raw cow's milk cheese called "Hooligan" that our Cheese Monger suggested pairing with beer. Homework has never been this easy!
6 Comments
We did our homework and I must admit, I still feel the same about Australian Shiraz - it's just not my favorite. Big, ripe, juicy berry fruit with lots and lots of oak, which created some chocolate and caramel flavors. Too big, pronounced and artificial for my subtle leanings but there was nothing obviously wrong with it. In fact I think it was a perfect representation of Aussie Shiraz.
What bottle did you try?
Actually I attended a tasting and tried nearly all of them: Bin 128, Koonunga Hill, Thomas Hyland, Magil Estate and the RWT Barossa Valley. There were obvious variations between quality levels but the core fruit and oak styles remained constant.
I went to the Union Square Farmer's market and bought Hooligan from Cato Corner Farm's. It was so good that it was worth the trek outdoors in that horrible weather.
i didnt have the time to go out and buy cheese or wine for this, but! i did end up at a bar that had penfolds merlot, so i gamely gave it a try
i generally find merlot sweet and inspid, but this actually wasn't too bad
i'm assuming it was the lowest priced line, but i don't know for sure!
sorry to have not particpated more enthusiastically
but Jenny, i finally went to crossroads, and, oh man! i felt like alice in wonderland!
that is an amazing wine store!
i wish i knew a bit more about vintages/grapes, etc, bc i bet you can find some real gems in that place!
I am so glad you went to Crossroads! Befriend Willy, if you can, he'll help you find the gems.


text: Though he worked steadily into the late 1940s, Frawley's drinking got the better of him, and by 1951 most producers found him virtually unemployable. Not so Desi Arnaz, who cast Frawley as neighbor Fred Mertz on the I Love Lucy TV series when Gale Gordon proved unavailable. Frawley promised to stay away from the booze during filming, and in turn Arnaz promised to give Frawley time off whenever the New York Yankees were in the World Series (a rabid baseball fan, Frawley not only appeared in a half dozen baseball films, but also was one of the investors of the minor-league Hollywood Stars ball team). Frawley played Fred Mertz until the last I Love Lucy episode was filmed in 1960, then moved on to a five-year assignment as Bub, chief cook and bottle-washer to son-in-law Fred MacMurray's all male household on My Three Sons. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Business Leaders for Michigan has unveiled a new plan to add up to 100 thousand new jobs in the state. CEO Doug Rothwell says that BLM teamed up with the auto industry to calculate where the potential for new jobs will be in the coming years, and it turns out that much of them will come along with the increased use of technology in new vehicles.
Rothwell says that the auto industry is changing its focus from manufacturing to developing smart technologies that involve things like a car's entertainment system and communication abilities. That's where the jobs will be, and that's where he says training should be aimed.
Rothwell says that Michigan should work to become a center for advanced powertrain and lightweight smart or connected transportation services. Business Leaders for Michigan is collaborating with companies like Ford to develop a workforce able to advance those technologies.

Sun Stirs Ratings Concerns
Tomorrow's fish and chips will be wrapped up in some stirring messages from The Sun – that Doctor Who has "shed" 1 million viewers between The Bells of Saint John and The Rings of Akhaten, with "disappointed fans" allegedly branding the episode "the worst ever".
Yeh, The Sun – that's right – and we do it every other week, too.
Overnight ratings – a guide and nothing more to the official figures – reveal that 5.7 million tuned into the second episode, apparently 1 million fewer than the previous week. We'll be going into more detail on this later in the week, but let's put things into perspective.
First, fans are vocal. They find comments sections or forums on websites like Kasterborous, they mouth off on Twitter and Facebook and generally express their love of Doctor Who in any way they can. If this means dismissing an episode as "the worst ever" then they will do – especially if they want to be noticed. Many fans have made a career out of this sort of behaviour.
Second, these are overnight figures. We've said it time and again, but they're not the end of the line. There is probably an extra million hiding in delayed viewing for The Rings of Akhaten and perhaps as many as 1.5 million yet to be added to The Bells of Saint John.
Three, that after a hyped opening episode, any audience will drop for the subsequent weeks. This is the reason why Russell T Davies used the midpoint episode as a "mid-season launch" – see Dalek.
The Sun quoted the following Twits:
Helen Paling tweeted: "Just caught up with Doctor Who. Wish I hadn't. Boring rubbish."
Anna Hough wrote: "Genuinely the worst episode I have ever seen."
Really? Thank your lucky stars you haven't seen Time and the Rani.
Tony Leech said: "The most forced, cringeworthy faux sentimentality since the Van Gogh episode. Terrible."
Which is interesting as Vincent and the Doctor was nominated for the Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation in the 2010 Nebula Awards as well as the 2011 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). While the episode lost out on both of these, it was however nominated by people who know what they're talking about.
All morning Twitter and other sites have been aghast at The Sun's nerve in printing these comments and building a story of "Doctor Who Discontent". In the show's 50th anniversary year this is concerning, but we're not blaming The Sun. They're only trying to sell papers.
Would it be too much to expect fans to support Doctor Who in 2013? Really?
39 Responses to Sun Stirs Ratings Concerns
Plenty of comments and reviews praising The Rings of Akhaten, typical of The Sun to take a few negative tweets and present it as fact.
Time factor the viewers who will watch later on I-Player and other devices and the figures will be fine
I really enjoyed it, a lovely episode 8/10
See the positives!
I loved this episode. I thought that it was one of Matts best performances in this role. Even if there is an episode I think is rubbish, I won't stop watching. You have to take the good with the bad. Even Moffet can't be through the roof brilliant 100% of the time.
Of course that must be the cause, fan anger. It's not like there was a major sporting event earlier that day that usually sees a significant portion of the population spending the day out at pubs etc. Oh wait…
Time and the Rani had less plot holes.
That said, the author is correct that the "low ratings" are hardly a matter of concern.
Worse then 'Dinosaurs on a Spaceship'? Because that's the one episode that I had to get drunk during in order to endure.
For us to be so bitterly disappointed, it must be a sign, that for the most part, we get amazing Doctor Who. I have voiced my dislike about the episode, but I don't want an online presence as someone who loves to hate DW. I was bitterly upset on Saturday, but I really love this show, and I know it will pick itself up next week. And bring on Neil Cross's next episode – I'm looking forward to Hide.
I personally loved the episode, for it connects the 11th doctor back to the classics with amazing subtly. For as much as 10 was the most popular, I think the 11th is revving to bring the show back to where it belongs, the cheesy, over-sentimental (but still fantastic) roots.
"Rings" was a fantastic episode because it went back to what Doctor Who is really about. The past seasons with the Ponds tried way too hard to be a serious drama, but that's not the point of the Doctor at all. It's about adventures, meeting new people, seeing something awesome, and having a good time. That's what the old Doctor Who was about, as well as the first few seasons with Eccleston and Tennant. We don't need to have our hearts broken every single episode.
I was disappointed with the Rings of Akhaten, but no way the worst episode, try Twin Dilemma.The press don't go into overall ratings, they take the overnights. Last week they were saying the voice had flopped. I wonder do a lot of people watch Ant and Dec later on? They always get high overnights.
i cried in the rings of akhaten, it was a fantastic episode, very well acted.
Typical of the Sun to try and claim the overnights still matter. Time for them to start living in the 21st century.
As for "worst episode ever", have any of these people seen Fear Her? Because The Rings of Ankhaten, while not very interesting and rather slow, is far bettter than that awful story.
Exactly simon,
The sun wants the world back to when we all read the newspaper every morning, then watched broadcast tv every evening. They don't want that world to go away, and they will fight "tooth and claw" to keep the world in that state. "Old Media" is trying so hard to get us to shut up, sit down on the couch for hours on end, and buy the products that the advertisers pay for. They don't want us looking at the world,,,, they prefer pacified, fat, couch potatoes who blankly zone at the television.
It's a new world, we see more, we see further, and we can see what we want when we want. We can skip ads if they are boring, we can take our entertainment with us, we can watch an entire season of something that we find,,,, this is the new reality.
Rings of Akhaten was okay. I agree it was not spectacular but it was not the worst episode. Due to no cable and living in the United States I have watch it the next day online. I am looking forward to the next episode. The Sun, just needed something to complain about to make their viewers crazy.
I have been watching Doctor Who all my life ( I am 32). I was one of those "hide behind the sofa" fans. There have been high point AND low points, but over 50 years I reckon they've done damn well. There have been truly dreadful episodes before now -incidentally, I don't think The Rings of Akhaten was one of them- and not nearly so much of a fuss was made. As fans, we do not and should not judge the quality of a series on one episode. A true fan is one who loves each and every episode simply for the fact that it exists in the first place.
This was by no means the 'worst story ever'. There are plenty of other one that vie for that title. I personally enjoyed it. I don't think everything has to be superfast-paced and grab you by the throat. Frankly I've thought there are times New Who was TOO fast paced, so a slower one like this once in a while is not a bad thing. This was more about texture than speed.
I really enjoyed the episode-I think it suffered being only 45 mins long-back in the day, say in the 1970s, this would have been a four parter with the mummies and the 'the alarm creepy sleeping alien' (I think the Doc called him the alarm clock), getting a bigger role. That aside the visuals where quite stunning and I think it was a nicely paced, slightly off the wall, if not slightly underwhelming episode. The worst episodes of Nu Who remain various atrocities of series 2 and the appallingly bad Dalek two parter from series 3.
Presumaby the Sun failed to mention that it's namesake was out in some parts of the Country for the first time in weeks-otherwise its been grey and miserable-and it was like every where I live-London-just went outside for a rare treat.
Odd, we had 75 degrees (Fahrenheit) and sunny in swampy southern Missouri. Soooooo, I didn't watch it immediately either. For me it was a Sunday night treat after all the playing was done for the weekend.
I personally thought that both of the last two episodes were below par to be generous but so what? It is extremely rare that even the vast majority of fans like one particular episode. There are probably only a handful in the last 50 years that everyone will agree is a masterpiece and absolutely *no one* agrees on what the worst episode ever is.
It wasn't the best DW I've ever seen, but I liked the concepts in the plot and am more impressed with Clara every week.
I didn't like this episode (although the efforts of Gold and Pickwoad salvaged it), but Doctor Who fans take (or should take) these things in their strides. The price we pay for the loose, flexible format is that, inevitably, some episodes will miss the mark. Throughout the whole history of the show, there have never been more than a few stories in a row without at least one dud, because that's the price we pay for the huge scope of the concept. (And, of course, no two fans would ever agree exactly on which stories those duds have been.)
Every time I feel a bit disappointed (and that's as strong a reaction as Doctor Who is capable of provoking in me), I don't worry, because I know there'll be a corker along soon.
i don't know if this has been mentioned but how many people missed the first showing and caught up on iplayer. and i thought it was quiet good
people have to understand that dr who has been going a long time and stories get harder to write
Well said and well presented Christian. You've echoed my thoughts regarding some Doctor Who "fans", and made your point much more tactfully and eloquently than I ever could. I'm tired of people making comments (not the newspapers, dare I call them that)so negative or presented with such negativity, that I wonder why they watch at all, or call themselves fans. Now I might have to send Christopher Eccleston that birthday card……..
Well said rainkitch7……….
Except, I do think overnights do matter (although less than they used to). It suggests Who is becoming less on an appointment TV programme and something to be convenience grazed. Overall, a great and balanced piece Christian. And like it or not, the forums are interesting pieces of research for journos and programme makers alike. It's why the RTD production team used specialists to fine dice the responses on Gallifrebase and the like. It's a great barometer of opinion and can be broken down by geography, age, gender and to some degree social class. And in this case (as can be seen in the survey), this has been a real audience splitter.
Whether the viewers did or did not particularly like this episode is one thing, for the Sun to use this as a stick with which to beat Doctor Who is another.
They have a history of attacking the BBC and this is just par for the course. Don't forget The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also part owns Sky TV and other rival networks abroad.
Any opportunity to shake their rivals is an opportunity not to be missed.
Anyhow , I thought The Rings Of Akhaten was a pretty unimpressive episode. But that's just by the by.
(too much Sonic Screwdriver and `Oh My stars' WTF ????
Years ago it was forecast that top shows will only get approx 5 million viewers on the night due to changing viewers habits and technology. So no one should be worried that Who gets 5 to 6 million in overnight figures.
As for Saturdays episode, visually it was very good but the story was a let down. I kept expecting it to change gear and get alot better or have a big revelation but nothing happened. So far the weakest story in Series 7 but not a complete disaster. I remember Trial of a Time Lord when it was first on, that was bleak.
BTW, the picture of Clara holding the leaf makes her looks like she is giving the middle finger :))
'Rings' was weak, and a disappointment but not the worst ever. I would rather watch any doctor who story than read anything in the sun. Doctor Who's stories are more believable.
I remember reading a few yeas ago a similar story in one of the tabloids, series 2 i think it was, ratings were down and things were not good according to the then article. Keep calm and carry on watching WHO
I am quite surprised to see so many people not happy with this episode.
I am so excited about this season, now that we are three episodes into it (I consider the Christmas episode part of this season), it is shaping up to be an amazing ride.
I can't quite put my finger on what has changed, but these last three episodes have a certain magic that I am loving. Maybe it's the newness, maybe it's Clara, maybe its the coat,,,, but whatever it is, it has gotten me to feel tinges of child-like wonder and that has been fantastic.
Shawn, I agree-the last three episodes have showed a magic and energy that seems new but also very old school. Matt and Jenna together are fantastic and I getting that dynamic buzz of say Jon and Katy or Tom and Liz. JLC is a fantastic addition to the cast/crew.
On a side note with the build up to 50th the shows profile is high again-the highest for quite sometime-so really we should'nt be suprised that detractors should start appearing again.
Well, as you say, the Sun is selling papers (not to me I'm pleased to say) and the ratings are not a concern, however the episode was very poor on a number of levels and it should not have gone into production in that state, especially in the 50th year. I honestly thought these episodes were going to be a step up as we get to the big one…not yet they're not.
A slow start, I hope Gatiss can deliver his first proper Who this week, if only to stop the concerns.
Yes, it would be too much to expect. A lot of fans are brattish and entitled, and take it as a personal insult when the show doesn't fit their template of what makes a good episode. They also have a chronic inability to understand that their fat stupid opinions are not facts, and that on the subject of Dr. Who they are but one voice in a multitude and not the Pope speaking ex cathedra. They also think they have authority to criticise the show's writers using the most vituperative language you'll hear outside of a dock yard (sentiments like "Of course it'll be sh*t. It's a Gatiss/Chibnall episode" are woefully common) despite the fact that most of them haven't ever written anything more impactful than a nasty, mean-spirited forum post in their entire lives. Jesus, I really bloody HATE fandom. Bunch of whiny little d*cks.
Its a disgusting paper, Mind you I bet the Sun won't report that the final figures (not including i player) for Bells of St. John were The episode achieved 8.44 million viewers had 35.8% share of the available Television audience & On Saturday 30th March, Doctor Who was the highest rated programme getting 120,000 more viewers than Ant and Dec's Saturday Takeaway, even though the ITV programme had a later start time.

This was too slow for me, I never really felt like I got a workout. I love the yoga conditioning for weight loss which I find challenging and was hoping this would be too, not sure how this could be the equivalent for pilates. I have an Ana Cabain beginner's mat workout and that is harder than the level 3 in this dvd! So if you found this hard I would avoid any of Ana Cabain's.
, posted on February 17, 2013
This was a bit too easy. I started on Level 2, hoping it would be a little more challenging than Level 1. Was I wrong! The video is too slow paced, and I really don't know how this would help with weight loss. If you want a routine for weight loss, I wouldn't do this video!
, posted on February 6, 2013
I love the slow paced of this routine. It is such a great way to get back into Pilates without overdoing it. This video is the reason I subscribed to gaiamtv as my dvd broke...
, posted on December 27, 2012
Instructions are clear. I did the level 1, which GAIAM rates as for those who are "getting started" and it was just right. Pilates is a focus on the abdomen and core, so don't expect a kick-butt cardio workout here...
, posted on October 3, 2012
Great Pilates workout but yeah I agree with the last reviewer... It was too easy. But Suzanne Deason is a great instructor nevertheless!
, posted on August 20, 2012
For someone like me who is a beginner/intermediate it's a great foundational video as well as workout. Makes you focus in on what you are suppose to be doing and how the moves should be done. However, the only downside is a 10-12 minute spiel on the workout which is a waste of time.
, posted on May 6, 2012
yeah i didnt really enjoy this because its too slow paced for me. i wanted a good workout and there's not many reps in the series. I did level 2 but it really should be categorized level 1. not for me.
, posted on March 19, 2012
I love these workouts! I like how slow-paced it is, because it really makes sure you understand the breathing involved, which is key to benefiting from all the amazing benefits Pilates has to offer! I used to practice pilates, but stopped due to illness. I'm glad I found this because it gives you three level's to choose from and is almost meditative in a way. Hardcore pilates fans might not enjoy this workout as it's very yoga-based, but if you want a pilates video that relaxes, invigorates and educates you - this is it!

The new $100 bill has a not-so-secret weapon
A blue ribbon woven into the note's fabric is supposed to block overseas counterfeiters who have become very good at producing fakes.
Benjamin Franklin is still on the front of the bill, but he'll be joined by a blue security ribbon that's supposed to stymie counterfeiters. Officials have been trying for years to combat the high-quality fake $100 bills that are being produced in North Korea, Reuters reports. Those counterfeit bills, called supernotes, are extremely tough to detect.
The blue ribbon, woven into the fabric of the new bill, is supposed to change that. The Treasury Department has loaded the bill with other security features, including an image of a bell and a large "100" that will change color from copper to green when tilted, Reuters reports. The bill also has another security strip near Franklin's head that you can see when you hold it up to the light.
It's been a long road to this bill for the Treasury Department. The note was originally supposed to debut in early 2011, but the ribbon was causing problems in the printing press. The Treasury Department had to put the project on hold to fix the issue.
Why all the fuss? Because the $100 bill is the most frequently counterfeited of all U.S. currency. Older $100 bills can still be used, but they'll be destroyed as they come through the Federal Reserve system, Reuters reports.

2014 RSFMCC Beneficiaries
The Rittenhouse Square Flower Market for Children's Charities is proud to announce that the following organizations have been selected as beneficiaries for the 2014 Centennial Market:
THE ATTIC YOUTH CENTER: Located two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, The Attic is Philadelphia's only agency exclusively serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. It provides a multifaceted approach to counteracting prejudice and oppression felt by LGBTQ youth, offering life skills programming, mental health counseling, support groups, HIV prevention and testing, and encouragement in community engagement. Funds from the Flower Market will be used for the Mental Health Counseling program to hire additional part-time therapists, as LGBTQ youth are more at risk for mental health problems caused by family rejection and peer bullying. www.atticyouthcenter.org
KELLY ANNE DOLAN MEMORIAL FUND: Founded in 1976 by Peggy Dolan and her late husband Joe, after the death of their daughter Kelly Anne, who battled aplastic anemia and leukemia for five years, the couple decided they needed to give back to the community in response to all the support they received during their ordeal. The Dolans saw other families lose jobs, homes, cars, utilities, telephones because of the time spent caring for their sick child and away from their employment. In the 36 years of its existence, KADMF has assisted over 22,000 families with financial assistance for uninsured expenses, respite programs, holiday adopt-a-family program, in-kind donations of goods and gift cards, and information, education and advocacy. Funds from the Flower Market will be used to provide financial assistance with essential uninsured needs such as rent and mortgage payments, utilities, transportation costs, adaptive equipment and uninsured medical expenses to approximately 20-25 Philadelphia families. www.dolanfund.org
PATHWAYS PA: Founded in 1978, this organization offers residential and community-based services for children, women and families in Philadelphia and Delaware counties. It ensures safe, healthy development of children through Project Peace, a combination of workshops and in-home case management aimed at teaching nurturing skills to teen mothers ages 13-21; Center for Families, serving homeless women and children; Supervised Independent Living program, aimed at preventing children from entering the child welfare system while ensuring teen mothers are in education; and Transitional Living Programs, providing housing and case management for homeless pregnant and parenting teens. Funds from the Flower Market will be used in the Project Peace program to supply books for teen mothers of 200 children in Philadelphia and teach the literacy skills to these parents to pass on to their children, beginning in the womb. www.pathwayspa.org
URBAN BLAZERS FOUNDATION: Founded in 2005, this organization provides opportunities for outdoor activities, at the same time building leadership skills for approximately 1,000 urban youth, who have limited access to nature. Working through partner organizations, such as public and charter schools, mentoring programs and community centers, Urban Blazers provides weekly classroom programs, augmented by a monthly outing, such as hiking, rock climbing, skiing and whitewater rafting. Funds from the Flower Market will be used to expand their Summer Experience Program by four community centers with two of the centers continuing during the school year with the Living Classrooms Program. Both programs focus on teamwork and trust-building concepts, coupled with an outdoors outing, demonstrating these skills. www.urbanblazers.org

The Chicago Bears have fired coach Lovie Smith after the team missed the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons.
Smith was informed of the decision by general manager Phil Emery on Monday, a day after the Bears beat Detroit to finish 10-6 but still missed out on a playoff spot.
Smith led the Bears to a Super Bowl, but also saw his team collapse in the second half of the past two seasons. Hired in 2004, Smith led the Bears to three division titles, two NFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance in his nine seasons. His record is 81-63.
The Bears scheduled a news conference Tuesday to discuss the move.

Creative Energy : Days 9 & 10 of The Moksha Yoga Challenge
Sometimes when you are doing something and are repeating the motions, you can lose the sense of creativity that was present when you first started.
This is something that our rehearsal directors were always stressing on when I was in dance school - the ability to keep movement alive and fresh even though it had become routine and repetitive to us.
Such can be the case for the Moksha Challenge.
Since there are basically 4 classes available within the challenge some repetition is definitely present within the postures, with differences happening more due to instructor-styles. I have started to come full circle though, and now I am taking my second class with every instructor as I'm into my second week of the challenge.
I appreciate the creative flow that each instructor brings to the practice and have thoroughly enjoyed being challenged in new ways by each of them, but now is the time to start digging a little deeper to keep my light alive in class and remember that every time I roll my mat out in the studio it's a new day and a new practice and a new chance to discover, be and find originality!

Naturally: Jimmy Carter Among Nominees for China's First 'Peace Prize'
**Written by Doug Powers
The Chinese government isn't too happy with the Nobel Peace Prize recipient this year:
Since Liu Xiaobo's selection, China has vilified the 54-year-old democracy advocate, called the choice an effort by the West to contain its rise, disparaged his supporters as "clowns," and launched a campaign to persuade countries not to attend Friday's ceremony in Oslo. The government is also preventing Liu — who is serving an 11-year sentence for co-authoring a bold appeal for political reforms in the Communist country — and his family members from attending.
To retaliate against the unfairness, the country that is holding the Nobel Peace Prize winner in prison decided to offer their own peace prize — I'm calling it the "Golden Mao":
Amid the flurry of action came a commentary published on Nov. 17 in a Communist Party-approved tabloid that suggested China create its own award the "Confucius Peace Prize" — to counter the choice of Liu.
Three weeks later, The Associated Press has learned, China is doing just that.
The first honoree is Lien Chan, Taiwan's former vice president and the honorary chairman of its Nationalist Party, for having "built a bridge of peace between the mainland and Taiwan."
Who were the other nominees for the Golden Mao (also affectionately referred to as the "Zedonger")? Think "Nobel" any other year:
billionaire Bill Gates, former South African President Nelson Mandela, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and the Panchen Lama, the second-highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism.
While China regularly disparages the Dalai Lama, the religion's spiritual leader, the current Panchen Lama is a 20-year-old who was hand-picked by Beijing.
Somewhere out there, Al Gore is staring at his phone wondering why he didn't get a phone call from Beijing this week.

Online Shopping Frustrates Me
Posted By Anthony Garcia On May 31, 2007 @ 6:06 pm In Customer Experience,e-commerce | 9 Comments
I can't remember the last time I was in the mood to get frustrated. It's why I rarely buy online.
I just don't have the emotional fortitude to endure online shopping carts and checkout processes. By the end of a buying session, I'm always left with ground-down teeth and a dozen less hairs (as you can tell by my photo below, I have very little to spare).
I'm not alone. PC World curmudgeon John Dvorak shares my pain [1]. All his peeves are mine.
He rants about carts freezing during an order submission, entering phone numbers in the proper format, long forms and errors that force you reenter data, and the infamous "please do no hit the submit button twice" message.
Money quote:
None of this would bother me if shopping-cart software had just been invented. But this stuff, in Internet years, is old and established. Why haven't these simple flaws been changed by now? Do any of these vendors actually use this stuff? [Read the entire article] [1]
I want to buy online – I really do – but it just hurts too much.
