Sunderland have signed Netherlands international Patrick van Aanholt from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
Manchester City suffered their second defeat in only five days as Newcastle went to the Etihad on Wednesday evening in the Capital One Cup and dominated their fourth round encounter and deservedly dumped the current trophy holders out of the competition.
Harry Redknapp provided a team news update on Thursday ahead of Saturdays' trip to Stamford Bridge with the Hoops expecting to retain the same squad which took three points in the victory over Aston Villa at Loftus Road on Monday Night Football.
Opportunities for goalkeeper Alex McCarthy have been limited since the summer signing arrived from Reading in August but the reserve stopper was afforded his first Premier League start against Liverpool in game week eight with Rob Green side-lined because of illness.
Wayne Rooney has been declared fully fit for the upcoming Manchester Derby this weekend following rumors earlier this week that he might miss the big match.
Theo Walcott's return to the starting line-up will likely be put off for another week with Arsenal in desperate need of three points against Burnley.
For the second time in less than a week, Stoke City fell to Southampton with this one seeing the Potters eliminated from the Capital One Cup 3-2.
Bournemouth scored a shock win over West Brom to put them into the quarter finals of that competition for the first time ever.
Lukasz Fabianski has continued his impressive season for Swansea and helped them keep a clean sheet over the weekend.
Swansea City are appealing Federico Fernandez's suspension after the defender was sent off during the Swans Capital One Cup loss to Liverpool yesterday.
After starting Newcastle's first six games, Alan Pardew benched Remy Cabella for the past three, but the promising midfielder will hope to regain a regular spot in the XI after an effective substitute appearance in their win over Tottenham.
With a clean sheet over the weekend and a goal scored in the League Cup match with Swansea yesterday, Dejan Lovren looks poised to provide fantasy returns after starting the season quite slowly.

My tattoo. :3 I HAVE WANTED THIS FOR LIKE 6 YEARS NOW! :D So perfect :D So happy right now. <3
New tattoo!In Justin Furstenfeld's handwriting: "He said reach for the girl and hold her close,believe you can shine when you're silver and I'll promise you gold. And whenever you're dark inside don't let go - remember there's rain, and there's candy, and Christmassy winter snow. Remember, I love you the same, and I'll strangle your pain, and he tells me to sing so I sing and I sing"
Any bands anyone wants to see?
Why do people continue to get bad tattoos?
I have a friend who just got a tattoo of a band we both like (it is how we met and bonded). The lyrics look good. But the rest looks bad. I knew it would when she told me where she was going. I tried to get her to go to a better shop, but where I go is more expensive (they are better, so they cost more).
Sorry, just needed to complain briefly.

A pillow can cost a hundred dollars, or even more! But is a pricey pillow worth it? Consumer Reports went to work to find out.
Consumer Reports asked dozens of panelists to "go to sleep" on the job, trying out the same type of pillow they normally sleep on...feather-down...polyester...or memory foam.
Adam Kaplan of Consumer Reports says, "Each person took home an expensive and an inexpensive pillow, not knowing which was which. And then we asked them to sleep on them for five consecutive nights."
The feather-down face-off--the $100 Bed, Bath, & Beyond pillow and a $30 one from JC Penney.
The polyester pillow showdown-an $81 Company Store pillow pitted against a $10 Kmart pillow.
And the memory foam pillow match-up: the $99 Tempur-Pedic one versus this $35 Target pillow.
So how did the pillows stack up with the panelists?
Panelists one: "The first one was too firm."
Panelists two: "One was noticeably more comfortable."
Panelists three: "I didn't notice any difference between the two. They were both comfortable."
Kaplan says, "It turns out for the polyester and feather-down pillows, most staffers did find the more expensive pillows more comfortable."
But when it came to memory-foam pillows-panelists judged both pillows to have about the same level of comfort. So you could save $64 by getting the $35 memory foam pillow from Target.
Savings that just might help you sleep better at night.
Trying to figure out whether a soft, medium, or firm pillow is the one for you?
The Better Sleep Council says it depends on how you sleep.
For people who sleep on their side, firm pillows are best.
Back sleepers should use a medium-firm pillow.
And soft is good if you like to sleep on your stomach.

It's easily conceivable that TI-84 and iPod Touch prices could meet at $150 in the near future, and there's no defensible excuse for that. One machine is thousands of times more capable than the other.BuzzFeed's John Herrman • Noting how graphing calculator makers, despite a low amount of innovation in them within the past decade, have managed to artificially keep prices absurdly high, largely due to standardization forced by the College Board, which does not allow calculators with QWERTY keyboards, stylus inputs or connections to cell phones. But let's face it, Herrman insists — it's a strategy that can't last. All that we know was that, way back in 1998, our TI-82 was the first portable device we ever jailbroke.

With leagues heating up, the NFL fantasy season is approaching. Who are some quality sleepers to mine at wide receiver?
Emmanuel Sanders – Denver Broncos
He was a nice complimentary receiver good for the occasional big play in Pittsburgh, but Emmanuel Sanders never really felt like a key part of the offense. That has a chance to change with the Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning loves to spread the ball around and is certain to make good use of Sanders' speed and quickness. Add in the talent he'll have around him, and he'll be certain to see advantageous coverages as well.
Marvin Jones – Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Green may be the go-to guy for the Cincinnati Bengals but he is no longer the only playmaker in that passing attack. Marvin Jones made that clear when he "quietly" posted 712 yards and 10 touchdowns in only his second season. The 24-year old boasts good size and strong hands and showed marked improvement from his rookie season. Now that he has the full confidence of quarterback Andy Dalton, his production should spike.
Marquess Wilson – Chicago Bears
Defenses in 2014 are going to lose sleep over figuring out how to cover the star Chicago Bears tandem of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. So to think that another talented 6'3″ will join them on the field quite often can cause migraines. Marquess Wilson spent all off-season improving his physical and mental conditioning. Coaches feel he's ready to replace departed veteran Earl Bennett as the #3 receiver in Chicago. If he plays up to his talent, the NFL fantasy numbers should follow.
Chris Givens – St. Louis Rams
He may not boast intimidating size, but for a time in 2013 it looked like St. Louis Rams receiver Chris Givens was becoming one of the top deep threats in the league. Then Sam Bradford went down with a torn ACL. Without him the Rams reverted to a run-first offense and Givens finished with a disappointing 569 yards and no touchdown The hope is that Bradford's return along with improving pass protection will get the 24-year old back on track.
Rueben Randle – New York Giants
Fans and NFL fantasy owners alike were quick to get on New York Giants receiver Reuben Randle for not doing better in 2013. Never mind the fact he doubled his numbers in every stat category compared with his rookie year. In truth Randle did struggle at times but much of his lacking impact had nothing to do with him but the woeful pass protection quarterback Eli Manning had to suffer through. If the Giants can improve in that area, and with the addition of rookie Odell Beckham Jr., Randle can continue his upward trajectory in 2014.

For the Love of God, Damien Hirst, 2007
For the Love of God is a life-size cast of a human skull in platinum, entirely covered by 8,601 VVS to flawless pavé-set diamonds, weighing a total of 1,106.18 carats. Set into the forehead is a large pear-shaped pink diamond, known as the Skull Star Diamond. The teeth are those of the original skull, which was purchased by Hirst in London, and dates back to the eighteenth-century.
The work stands in the great tradition of the 'Memento Mori', where an image or an object serves to remind us of our mortality. Dutch art historian Rudi Fuchs, writing about the work in 2007, observed: 'The skull is out of this world, celestial almost. It proclaims victory over decay. At the same time it represents death as something infinitely more relentless. Compared to the tearful sadness of a vanitas scene, the diamond skull is glory itself' (WIRED).

 When it comes to being noticed by burglars, not all homes are created equal. The house at the end of a lonely road is more of a target than one on a busy street.

 Burglars are selective, and there are a number of ways you can make your home less appealing to them and less likely to be robbed.

 "It all boils down to making your home stand out as the one you don't want burglars to target," said Boston-based security expert Robert Siciliano.

 Here are 12 tips to keep the bad guys at bay.

[How to Secure Your Home, Auto and Smartphone]

 Don't let people peer through your windows. If they do, they can figure out just how vulnerable your home is, said James Cook, a sales manager at American Alarm & Communications in Arlington, Mass. Draw the curtains when you leave the house and when you go to bed.

 [How to Set Up a Budget Home Security System]

 It may be a hit on the electric bill, but avoid the "off" switch when you step out at night. If you're going on vacation or a business trip, install automatic timers to turn the lights on at night, and off in the daytime. And leave a television set or radio on to let the bad guys think someone's home.

 [Best Home Security Systems to Protect Your Home]

 There's no surer sign of no one home than an overstuffed mailbox. The post office will be glad to hold your mail until you get back from your trip.

 Alternatively, you could ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your mail for you, said Cook. As for newspapers, suspend delivery while you're away, or have someone take them in.

 [Vacation Home Safety: Don't Tip Off Thieves When You're Out of Town]

 If the trash barrels stay on the curb long after a garbage pickup, burglars may think there's no one at home.

 [Social Media Status Updates Tip Off Burglars, Study Shows]

 Criminals are much more likely to avoid homes that they know have working alarm systems, Cook said. Display window decals and lawn signs that let the world know your home is protected.

 [Best Security Cameras to Protect Your Home]

 The bad guys will most likely take off if they find they're in the spotlight, especially if they can be seen from the street.

 [Make an Old Computer Your Home Security System]

 "Landscaping around the house can create risks," Cook said. "People should make sure there are no bushes or trees covering low-level windows that would shield a burglar's attempt to enter, or have tall branches that would give burglars the ability to climb up to a second story window, which tend to be left unlocked."

 [How to Handle a Home Invasion]

 Burglars aren't as willing to climb through something thorny to get to a window.

 "You want large, defensive shrubbery to hurt the burglars. A rosebush is a kind of defensive shrubbery," Siciliano said, "depending on whether they're legal in your state. All the bushes at my house are barely legal.

 "But you will get more bang for your buck from the things with red berries," he added, referring to pyracantha or firethorn bushes. "They hurt, but they are illegal in some states."

 Homeowners don't plant them because they're pretty, Siciliano said, they plant them "because they're painful."

 [10 Best Home Security Monitoring Services]

 People whose home is in a remote area, or is set far back from the street on a large lot, can put in sensors to notify them of vehicles entering their driveway or access road.

 "These sensors can also turn on additional exterior lighting to scare the bad guy away," Cook said.

 [Future 'Smart Homes' Will Watch and Remember Your Needs]

 Garage doors are a favorite target of burglars because they are often left unlocked, Cook said. So don't make it easy for intruders.

 "Burglars enter the garage, then close the door behind them, so no one can see as they break into the home itself," Cook said. "So be sure to lock garage doors, and if you have a security system, make sure the garage is covered."

 [How to Secure Your Home Wireless Network]

 You don't even need a dog to do this. If the bad guy sees a sign, and maybe a huge dog bowl just inside the front door, he's going to think you have a really big dog and he won't stick around, Siciliano said.

 [10 Best Home Security Systems]

 "The burglar will think there's [someone] in there ready to shoot his head off," Siciliano said. "That will make your home a tougher target."

I see, honostly being orbital friendship cannoned out of a window from Canterlot all the way past the Everfree Forest has given me a new perspective on life, not to just "take" love from people, but instead, to offer things to people, that they can not normally have, like perhaps some time with a certain special somepony. That is what my brothel is for. I have also made up with everyone in Canterlot, including Celestia. Infact, my brother is located IN Canterlot. Just go down the street from Photo Finish's publishing studio and pass through the alleyway on the right Until you exit into a lot with a single large building in it, that is my brothel, you should be able to tell by the sign that says "Change of heart." For that is the name of my brothel.
Perhaps you have not heard of my changeling brothel? Your desires with any pony come true in exchange for some bits, but the interaction, someone's love for who the changeling is turned into, will be given to my changelings during the interaction, and thus being able to sustain my hive.
I am pretty sure I could, but I do not battle with such savagery as that would entail.
I'm crying omfg
its back oh lord
Oh my good lord im crying tears of laughter.

I know this isn't available to everyone, but this was happenning on my beige G3 (and almost every other mac running 10.1.2 that I came across). The fix I found was to install build "5P54c" of 10.1.2, which happens to be the one that comes with the new 14" iBooks. Apparently, that build replaces the file if it is needed. Reinstalling X, then 10.1, and updating to 10.1.2 from the net does not seem to fix the problem.

Kendall's Interview (Kames One-Shot)
Summary:Kendall's job interview turns into a reuion with his best friend James Diamond. One-Shot, Kames, Based on Ling Xiaoyu's Tekken 4 Ending. May wright a Sequel!
Based on: Xiaoyu's Tekken 4 Ending
Kendall walks up to the big building. Kendall wanted to find a job after seeing his college entrance exam results, and he loved music so what better then getting a job at Mishima Records.
Kendall presses the elevator to the top floor where he had his interview. When the elevator hits the top floor Kendall walks into a huge room with a huge window and a big desk and a chair that was turned around.
When the chair turned around to face him Kendall could not believe his eyes.
"Hey Buddy!" James Diamond, Kendall's best friend who he hasn't seen in 5 months, says as he turns around in the chair.
"James what are you doing here?" Kendall says still in shock.
"What does it look like?" James says hoping on top of his desk.
"I'm working."
"Working?" Kendall says sarcastically.
"It looks like your just sitting around and doing nothing."
"Yeah well I'm on break."
"Uh-Huh sure." Kendall says making both boys laugh.
"So?" James starts. "How did you do on your exams?"
"Oh about those."
"You failed them didn't you?" says James giving a little smirk.
"Big time!" Kendall says hoping on the other side of the desk.
"Well, come work here."
"Work here, with you?" Kendall says surprised by his friends offer.
"What would I do?"
"Well." James starts to say. "I do have something that I want you to help me with."
"And what's that?"
"Well I saw Logan and we met up, and he told that if I had a dream and I wanted it to come true, I had to go out and make it happen."
"Oh? So you bought Mishima Records?"
"Yes but that's not my dream."
"I thought your dream was to be a singer?"
"Well, it still is." James hops off the desk. "But there is something else."
"Oh, and what's that?" Kendall says following James. "What is it that you want to work on?"
James then walks to the window and points.
"Help me make that."
Kendall walks over to the window and looks out to see a music themed park.
"Whoa!" Kendall says taking it all in.
"Yeah, I wanted to make a music themed park, you know a place so I can perform." James says with a laugh.
"So what do you say Kendall, wanna be my partner?"
"Are you kidding me?" Kendall says as he leans into James.
"Of course I would."
Kendall then leans in a kisses James. The kiss last for what seems like forever before the boys pull away to gain air.
Kendall just smiles at James.
"So can I be your manager to?"
"How about just partner and boyfriend for now?"
"I'd like that."
James and Kendall just sit and stare at the half finished park and figure out what to do with it next.
Worlds Collide Chapter 6
A/N: so i just started school so i wont be updating as freaquent as before and i know i said that chapter 6 was gonna be the game well i lied. Enjoy anyways.
It was Friday and girls everywhere were wearing their boyfriend's jerseys. When Quinn, Michael, and James walked in wearing jerseys everyone's jaws dropped. Quinn was wearing a jersey with a number 28 which was Mike's. James was wearing a jersey with a 14 which was Kendall's. And Michael was wearing a jersey with a 5 which was Blake's.
"Well hello there nice jerseys, where did you get them?" Kendall jokingly says as he walks towards the trio.
"From some bums." Michael says with a little grin that made Blake's heart flutter.
"Oh what did you have to do to get those?" Mike asks jokingly.
"We had to beat the crap out of some losers who think there all badass." James says giving Kendall a playful but awkward punch in the shoulder.
"It was no biggy." Quinn says as she rolls her eyes.
The Logan and Jo walk to the group.
"Hey, it's nice to see that you guys are getting along again." Logan says with a smile.
"Hi I don't think we have properly met," Kendall starts. "I'm Kendall, this is Mike and Blake." They all exchange hands.
"Nice to meet you I'm Logan and this is Jo."
"Hi, so you guys excited for the homecoming game?" Jo says to the 3 jocks on the team.
"Yeah, it's not going to be easy but it will be fun." Blake says as the announcements come on.
Rachel Berry always loved to do the morning announcements she thought it would give her great practice for when she wins her first tony.
"Good morning students of William Woods High I indeed have the nominees for homecoming king and queen."
"OMG I can't wait to see who is nominated this year." Jo says being the only one out of her friends to be extremely excited about it.
"For homecoming king the nominees are
Kendall Knight
Dave Karofsky
Rick Nelson."
The group of friends gives there congrats to Kendall but roll their eyes to the other two names.
"And for homecoming Queen the nominees are
Santana Lopez
Nellie Veitenheimer
And…. Oh!"
The group all takes interest in Rachel sudden change in tone from bubbly to mega bubbly.
"And Quinn Fabray!"
At that moment everyone's mouths drop especially the group of friends.
"Me?" Quinn asks eyes still glued on the speaker.
"Holy shit!" Jo screams. "You're the first girl from the glee club to be nominated for homecoming queen since well….."
"Me!" Kelly says walking pass the group of friends.
"Kelly you went here and you were nominated for homecoming queen?" Quinn asks confused.
"Not only that but I won!" Kelly says proudly. "Well congrats to Quinn and Kendall and I will see you all at the game tonight and tomorrow at the dance. Kelly then walks away.
"OMG the dance I tots forgot." Jo says as she turns to Logan who knows exactly what is about to happen.
"Yes I'll go to the dance with you Jo."
"Thanks Logan you're a life saver, who are you guys going to go with?"
"We'll all go together like usual." James says pointing at his friends.
"Nope." Kendall says making everyone look at him.
"James you can go to the dance with me."
"Me? Really?"
"Yes Really!"
Kendall then takes James hand and James starts to blush.
"And Michael." Blake starts. "Do you wanna go with me?"
Michael looks over to his friends who just nod and smile, and then back to Blake.
"I would love to"
"And that just leaves you your majesty." Mike says gesturing Quinn who just chuckles.
"Do you wanna go with me?"
"I don't know if I'm allowed to go with someone whose not royalty." Quinn jokes as she takes Mikes hand.
"But I guess I can break the rules just this once."
The bell then rings and the friends start to go their separate ways.
"So I guess we'll see you guys later." Kendall says to the group.
They wall nod and walk away.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Dave says to Rick who have been spying on the group of friends.
"Not after the queen doesn't come to accept her crown."
A/N: Hopefully the next chapter will be the game and then the dance will be chapter 8.

Megan Fox has earned herself the 11th spot in our countdown of Hollywood's hottest bodies.
But the actress hasn't posed for any bikini photos in awhile because she only recently gave birth to her first child, a boy named Noah.
"I can't work out yet because my body is still too fragile," the beauty told Us Weekly a couple weeks ago.
So, how has she shed half the baby weight already? By ignoring items in her cookbook such as a Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe, for starters.

At Home With: Architect Arthur Casas
It's always fun to see the homes that architects design for themselves. Brazilian architect Arthur Casas did just that with his home in São Paulo, Brazil. Stretching out on an impressive 4,300 square feet, with the stunning landscape right at the doorstep, the home is decked out with cumaru wood paneling that runs from floor to ceiling where it stands out against the stark white walls - offering warmth, and blends in with the beautiful surroundings. Enjoy the virtual tour!

His professional peers recognized him by election to the grade of fellow in the IEEE, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and as a member of the National Academy of Engineering. At the time it was noted that he became just the second alumnus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology to join the ranks of the Academy.
His contributions as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Defense are fabled. He led many major studies and served as chairman or vice chairman of major advisory committees.
These contributions were recognized in 2002 when he received the Eugene G. Fubini Award for giving valuable advice to the Defense Department. In presenting the award, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz noted:
"Dave, you made the world a better place than you found it. You made our country a safer country than you found it. On behalf of Secretary Rumsfeld and Eugene Fubini, who I'm sure is here with us, it is my pleasure to present you with the Eugene Fubini Award."
Dave also possessed a marvelous perspective plus a great sense of humor. Some years ago, I started collecting one-liners. These Heebner-isms reflect those attributes:
"Hell hath no fury like a military staff officer whose decision memo was changed by his superior."
"My goal in golf is not to shoot my age but to shoot the temperature. Last week when it was 97 degrees, I shot 106; so I'm closing in on it."
Dave did indeed have a great life. And with Lynn always by his side, he did it all!
And he did it with style, grace, and humor. And, in so doing, he brought joy and warmth to all of us.

The Fix
Tooney, you haven't answered. Are you drawing something about people now uninsured because King Kenyans' boys passed a healthcare plan that covers all those except those that were covered?
The Fix
Hey Tooney, where's your cartoon about people being kicked out of their healthcare plans. Are those your kind of people - the downtrodden and crapped on by the political man?
Theys just followin' the democRATic oath: If The Man tries to make you work for stuff, that's just The Man keepin' you down. We, the American Socialist, er, democRATic party believes they should be a sharin' all they worked for wit chew.
Tooney's democRATS have been fooling the people since the 60s. They pretend to be the party of the people while secretly keeping the people down because it serves their political interest. Then they pop their head out of the ground whenever they can cry "racism" and lead the people against the man. Like to know how many meals Jesse (and his incarcerated offsrpring) missed; or how many gang-bangers Al (Tawana Brawley) has dodged. Rock on brothers. And your pen pal Tooney.
Violent Crime
What's that got to do with violence in Tempersee, degage?
Aw c'mon. One might get the feeling that Crayola Boy is a die-hard DemocRAT looking at this, and that the newspaper (all of which used to be unbiased) leans with the Tooner. That's why subscriptions and ad revenues are so far down. Nobody believes "news" in papers anymore. They're just political statement rags. Balance it corner office -30-
Government Workers
The point is not that the fed is offering insurance. People aren't going to buy any plan because they're simply deadbeats. Why pay for what you can already get free is the ongoing thought. Unfortunately, that is the new American Way.
Government Workers
Tooney forgot it took three to shutdown a government: King Kenyan, The Boner and Harry the Hypocrit. Back to the crayons Tooney.
Finally, a good cartoon. Obama doesn't have to prove his and Crazy Joe's manhood by stepping into that cesspool again. Only thing our incolvementr will be good for is the pockets of big oil, which will jack gas prices because of this "crisis."
Wonder what Marty would say if he could see where his people are today?: Gang banging instead of working, aspiring to be (c)rappers instead of business people. Whitey quit being the problem in the black community in the 80s. The problem in the black community now is the young people in the black community now and its inability to change the culture.

You are doing work that is the spirit of this blog! People that behave that way don't have the right to be in the same fucking room…no county! as my fucking music.
I am so happy to hear that my music is being performed and that people like you are eager to hear it. I can't say how much that fucking means to me.

Caminnecci directed by Jess Franco by Alex Jackson Jess Franco's Succubus begins with heroine Lorna (Janine Reynaud) torturing and molesting a man chained to a stake while his similarly bound, bloodied, and partially-nude lover watches. The lover protests, so Lorna tortures her some until she passes out. She then goes to the man and plays with him a bit before skewering him with her ceremonial knife. The lights fade up and an audience applauds. The snuff scene was simulated. It's part of an act Lorna performs at a chic nightclub. This opening is the most eloquent and lucid scene in the film, for it establishes that director Jess Franco no longer has a responsibility to be eloquent and lucid. Succubus is going to be told subjectively through the perspective or Lorna, who is going schizophrenic (or something) and is increasingly unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Thus, whatever we see might actually be happening--and then again it might not be. We never really know. RUNNING TIME 79 minutes MPAA Not Rated ASPECT RATIO(S) 1.66:1 (16x9-enhanced)...

There seems to be no independent, cognizant life to the character. She exists purely to be desired or despised. Certainly, she is seen as neither a tragic figure nor a victim--Lolita is always in control. She always has a tight grasp on what her needs are and understands how she's going to meet them. But simply being clever and conniving doesn't make you a real person. Humanity could be defined as our ability to experience pain and Lolita lives a practically pain-free existence. Double entendre intended, if you prick Lolita, she isn't going to bleed. In her eyes, sex doesn't have many drawbacks. Men lust after her and this gives her power over them.

Curmudgeonly and vicious, it's a lighter-than-air farce with a black heart that feels suspiciously like the mad rantings of an old soldier describing his vision of a bucolic Valhalla to which he one day hopes to return. Released in the same year (1963) that saw Sidney Poitier become the first black man to win an Oscar in a major category (for Lilies in the Field), Donovan's Reef is a shockingly, unapologetically racist and misogynistic film about braggadocio, therapeutic rape, and belittling the natives. In other words, John Ford apologists need to work overtime to dig their favorite auteur out from under this surreal bilge.

Addled by the administrative headaches of his position as the head of Sweden's Royal Dramatic Theatre--and probably discouraged by the frosty reception that greeted his recent comedy and first colour film, All These Women--he felt a small movie was the only kind he would be able to make. And so he started putting together, in his head, a modest drama. He imagined two women comparing hands. One of them, he decided, would be talking, and the other would be silent. It went from there.

I'd even go so far as to call it Antonioni's best movie overall: the one that most completely encompasses the filmmaker's worldview and puts into sharpest relief the tools with which he expresses it. He's at the height of his powers here. I would argue that although his Blow-Up both defined foreign film as a genre for American audiences (while proving instrumental in defeating the Production Code, heralding the level of acceptance and permissiveness that made the American '70s in film possible) and is indisputably his most influential work (indeed, it's among the most influential films of all time), it's La Notte that offers the cleanest insight into who and what Antonioni is as an artist.

The Jungle Book receives only two passing mentions in Neal Gabler's mammoth biography of Walt Disney, even though it has the distinction of being the last animated film Disney lived to produce and ended his career in a commercial triumph to bookend the early success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Gabler's brevity on the subject suggests that The Jungle Book was of little consequence to Disney, but there are clues to the contrary between the lines, such as when Gabler writes tantalizingly about Walt's opinion that early drafts of the script were too "sober." Indeed, he was personally invested in the project to the point of choosing it over his relationship with long-time story man Bill Peet, who'd brought Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories to Disney's attention in the first place. Peet's adaptation was, as Walt saw it, beset by its fidelity to Kipling, and he solidified his vision for lighter-hearted fare by hiring radio icon Phil Harris, whose...

As the line about horrors piled upon horrors implies, Weekend is nasty, as valedictory addresses go--a scorched-earth attack on France under Charles de Gaulle that finds nearly all of its citizens massacred in car crashes of their own design and converted into consumable products, namely food. The humanism of minor tragedies like Vivre sa vie and the heedless joy of Frank Tashlin homages like Une femme est une femme has here curdled into a new, ugly form.

A decade later, he says, the film was considered a classic--suggesting that Kael was seriously out of touch when she reviewed it, I guess. Pollack fails to mention the punch line, though: in the same piece, a notorious essay called "Trash, Art, and the Movies," Kael exalts Pollack's own The Scalphunters! 2001 is pretty lousy art, she decided, while The Scalphunters is pretty great trash.

They were the fire, though the embers were stoked in the years leading up to them. Looking for signposts in the Eisenhower Fifties, you find the juvenile-delinquent cycle, plus the outré horror flicks of England's Hammer Studios, or Japan's tokusatsus, or France's Nouvelle Vague. More directly, you find a pair of films based on works by the team of Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, Diabolique and Vertigo. But in 1960, there was this quintet, each the product of parallel genesis, each proof after a fashion of a Jungian collective unconscious, perhaps, certainly that things long-simmering inevitably boil over. There's an idea in my head, put there by Ethan Mordden's Medium Cool, that everything that happened in the arts in the United States throughout the Fifties points to what was about to happen in our culture in the Sixties.

(DP Conrad Hall had already parted ways with the show towards the end of season one.) The benefits and pitfalls of such a traumatic upheaval are difficult to compartmentalize, but to me, the series went along for its last seventeen episodes with a pioneering spirit (something that most veterans of the production owe to Lester) similar to that of the first thirty-two. The too-brief second season run includes not only a couple of the best episodes of "The Outer Limits", the origin of a future blockbuster lawsuit, and the canny recruitment of Harlan Ellison as sometime scribe, but also one episode that stands as arguably the best hour of television ever broadcast.

Distro deluge: Six imminent Linux releases previewed
Summary: A number of interesting new Linux releases are due out in the next few days or weeks. Here's a quick overview of some of them.
4 of 7Image
Linux Mint Debian Edition 201303 - Cinnamon
A new 'rollup' release of Linux Mint Debian Edition with Update Pack 6 included will soon be available. It is currently available as a Release Candidate (RC), in Cinnamon and MATE desktop versions. No formal release date has been announced, but as the RC has been out since about 20 February, it probably won't be long now.
Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (Wheezy)
Debian seems like the epitome of the 'We will make no release before its time' distributions — the exact opposite of the Ubuntu 'new release every six months, come hell or high water' philosophy. The Release Candidate for the Debian 7.0 installer is currently available, which means it won't be too long until the final release. My personal opinion is that the development of Wheezy has been a bit smoother than the previous couple of releases, but that may only be due to the fact that I wasn't paying all that much attention as it went along.
Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail
Ubuntu. My, how perceptions have changed over the past couple of years. In my opinion it is now such a polarizing release — almost everyone I know has very strong feelings about it, one way or the other. Some are convinced that it will be the saviour of the Linux world, and some feel just as strongly that it's the worst thing happening to Linux today. But I don't know many who just say "Whatever. It's ok, I'm not bothered either way." The next release of Ubuntu — 13.04, known as Raring Ringtail — is due out on 25 April. The Beta release is due next week (14 March), but of course Daily Builds are available for those who are very anxious, very curious and/or very brave.

Osho continues:
"The mother may sit just a little higher on another branch and give a call to the child. The child tries to fly but is afraid he may fall. But the mother goes on calling him; that gives him confidence. Sometimes it is needed for the father to actually push him out of the shelter. There is fear, he is nervous, but one thing is certain: for the first time he knows he has wings.
"He flutters his wings. He does not know how to fly, but the mother is not far away; he manages to reach her – the miracle has happened. Now the mother's call will be coming from a second tree, and then the call will be coming from a far-off forest. But once he knows that he has wings, then distances don't matter. Slowly there is no need for the mother to call or the father to push him.
"One day comes when he simply says good-bye to his father and mother and flies and never comes back. He has become an individual on his own.
"Whatever you see in me, feel in me, is there in you, but only as a potential.
"Nobody has called you from a distance and given you the confidence that you have wings. Nobody has pushed you and of course in the beginning it will look as if he is your enemy, pushing you to your death: you will fall! But unless you are pushed, and you see that by fluttering your wings you remain in the air and you don't fall. Then a great potential has become actual: the first vision of your own flying. Now it is no longer a dream, you can realize it.
"This is the problem – that man is not as alert as the birds are, that the child has to be made aware of his potentiality.
"Man's misfortune is this – that the father is not interested in the child's potentiality. He is interested in his own investment. He would like the child to be part of his business, of his religion, of his politics, of his ideology. The mother is not interested in the child's development because that's an unknown factor."

In Defense of Marriage: From 'Culture War' to Conversion
- Monday, August 25, 2008
But there is a third stance that can be taken, one that is neither a Christ of culture nor a Christ against culture position. It is a "conversionist" (and, I believe, the biblical) response that sees Christ as the transformer of culture. Yes, human nature is fallen, and culture not only reflects this perversion but often transmits it. Thus the opposition between Christ and culture is real and must be recognized. Yet rather than separation from culture, or accommodation and reliance upon the institutions of culture (such as politics), Christ in this scenario becomes the converter of humanity. This is the role of the church as Christ's body. This distinct and called community of God's people therefore lives as God's instrument and witness to the redemptive work of God—the kingdom. It is from here that we go forth to express the values of the kingdom of God, sometimes by proclamation and at all times by demonstration.
This is precisely what the apostle Peter urged the Christians who were living among non-Christians to do. "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us" (1 Peter 2:11–12, NIV). That last phrase, "on the day he visits us," is not a reference to Christ's return but to God's intervention in the world through blessing or judgment. Peter follows this by saying "Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution … For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people (1 Peter 2:13–15, ESV). Peter later equates this to a believing wife who wins her unbelieving husband over "without a word" by the way she lives (see 1 Peter 3:1). Matthew underscores this in 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before men people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven (NET).
I know this goes against our nature but that is precisely the point: kingdom living always goes against our nature, which is why we require God's grace to persevere in the faith. The time may be soon approaching when we are forced to abandon our "conquering spirit" and submit to "human institutions" that, while they may suppress our proclamation of kingdom values (i.e., opposition to sexual immorality), can never stop the demonstration of these values (i.e., living sexually moral lives) within and among the faithful community of God's people. Furthermore, the bearing of hardship because of conscience toward God is pleasing to the Lord (see 1 Peter 2:19–23).
America, under the sovereign hand of God, may be given over to sexual anarchy, immorality, and debauchery but the faithful church will endure in spite of the culture and may, by its life and witness, be the instrument God uses to bring a generation to repentance. This is the mission of God and therefore the mission of His people; I am concerned that our persistence in a moral battle lost may distract us from our true purpose—and this I personally do not want to do.

In the areas where people who have an IQ above 50 Texas is just fine and as long as you do not attempt to break into someones home you will do just fine.
Otherwise not so much.
Texas is in much better shape than California. Taxes are lower, in part because Texas has no state income tax.
No wonder the Lone Star State is growing faster and creating more jobs.
And the gap will soon get even wider since California voters recently decided to drive away more productive people by raising top tax rates.
But a key challenge for all governments is controlling the size and cost of bureaucracies.
Government employees are probably overpaid in both...

Odd filename "add-ons" to some video files - how do I remove them?
I transferred a few video files from an old computer of mine and somehow there are now some odd "additions" to the file names that I can't seem to eliminate. For example, one of the files I transferred over was a digitized copy of one of my old VHS tapes and now there is a block of chinese (?) characters within square brackets after the file name (for example Movie.avi [chinese]).
These "extensions" don't prevent the videos from playing but I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I've tried recopying and renaming the files but the chinese text still appears after the file names.
Any ideas on how I can get rid of the bracketed text?

The long awaited successor to the race-winning Nemesis is well
into the beginnings of its flight test program. The first flight
was accomplished on July 10 at the tender hour of 0700 at MHV.
Jon Sharp's first reports says that, "It flies wonderful...
better than the original Nemesis! And I loved how that one flew!"
The first flight went well and was described as a perfect takeoff,
flight and landing. SpaceShipOne Pilot/Astronaut Mike Melvill flew
chase in his Long-Ez with Patricia Sharp doing photo chores, while
Cory Bird was taking video out of Chuck Coleman's Extra 300.
The NXT project has been in the making for four years. Four kits
have already been delivered and the one prototype thus far
completed. The NXT, which stands for Neoteric eXperimental
Technology, is a single engine, two place, retractable gear, kit
aircraft of all molded carbon fiber construction. It is powered by
turbo'd Lycoming 540 engine. When the test program is completed,
Sharp plans to race the NemesisNXT for the first time in the Sport
Class division at the Reno Air Races this September.
In just a few days; NemesisNXT will help the EAA "Launch the
Second Century of Flight" with an appearance at this year's EAA
Fly-In in Oshkosh. The 52nd annual EAA fly-in will be held July
27-August 2. ANN will be featuring its usual, unparalleled daily
coverage of the event.
The original Nemesis was retired to the Smithsonian Air and
Space Museum in 2000. From 1991 – 1999, Team Nemesis enjoyed
47 victories out 50 (44 of the 50 were consecutive), 16 world speed
records and numerous aviation awards. Shortly after the retirement
of Nemesis in 2000, Team Nemesis began the design of the
Airborne 10.24.14: AML's Innovations, NASA Preps For Mars, LightHawk Saves
Airborne at NBAA--10.22.14: Legacy 500 Cert, Universal's InSight, BendixKing AeroWave

So I just had the shit creeped out of me.
I'm not someone who believes in ghosts, but I was sitting in my room, alone and in the dark, and I heard the strings of my violin being softly plucked.
My violin is hanging on the wall several feet away.
So I gathered my courage, grabbed my phone, and used the camera light to investigate.
And found this.
A goddamn spider was playing my violin. Not even joking. The little shit.
I'm into every joke involving Barnes and magnets. Count me in.

Take a look here to see if Menopause - The Musical is showing somewhere nearby
Since March 2001, the hilarious show Menopause: The Musical has entertained and inspired women from coast-to-coast and internationally. Menopause is the work of writer Jeanie Linders. This uplifting 90-minute production includes parodies from the '60s and '70s and '80s. It culminates with a salute to women who are experiencing The Change.
Set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. The all-female cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer The Silent Passage! It is a stage in every woman's life that is perfectly normal...
Opening night: 22 June 2013
Closing night: 23 June 2013
