*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I just want to mention that this show ranks above Jonas and Wizards of
waverly place in Disney's top 5 worst shows made.
Fish Hooks ranks as Disney Channel's worst cartoon yet. First off, a cartoon about tween fishes sounds like an idea pitched by an immature 12 year old.Disney hit rock bottom so hard, it's as if they hit a diamond this time. The three main characters of the show Bea, Milo, Oscar suck. I Assure you they really do suck. What makes them suck is that they make fun of people in the real world. Bea makes fun of all girly girls with her obnoxious heys, and her never ending crave of wanting to be the prettiest fish. Milo makes fun of all extreme sports people,fans, and daredevils. His on going obsession of wanting to do extreme and dangerous things that some times could be considered a sport going way too far, is beyond stupidity, and insulting. Speaking about stupidity, it is mind boggling to know how dumb he can get on the show. It's as if he's related to Patrick Star from Sponge Bob Square pants. And lastly, Oscar. He makes fun of all types of nerds. School nerds, Math nerds, you name it. His love of video games, and how he act around girls is down right creepy, and strange. Other than Bea, Milo, and Oscar. There are other characters who are annoying, and insulting. There is an octopus named Joctopus that makes all jocks look like empty headed bullies. Enough talking about the characters. Now it's time to talk about the Bull$h!+ artwork. This show literally looks like it was drawn by a dozen 5 year old kids with crayons. I wouldn't even consider fish hooks a cartoon. Since only the character look like toons, and everything else literally looks like scrape paper. And I mean everything. the backgrounds, and other animals that aren't fish and don't got to school. Fish Hooks is a beyond terrible show, that will rot a little kid's mind. It's bad enough that tween garbage has taken over TV, but this show just further increases it. I Give it a 1/10. Disney you disappoint me once again.
This show is funny, talented, and somewhat stupid in an entertaining way. It's like Disney's version of SpongeBob Squarepants, a cartoon that everybody, well ALMOST everybody likes (They started hating SpongeBob around 2007 - 2010). It's also somewhat similar to The Mr. Men Show, the most awesome show in the entire planet, you know, how they get into wacky situations and do things that me people laugh. So with 2 shows you like combined into 1 show, there's no need for all the hate. If you're going to hate on something, then hate on the overrated shows worse than this like Regular Show, South Park, and Teen Titans Go! (I know it's not overrated here, but fans on YouTube don't stop talking about this show).
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I enjoyed this show a lot. I've been seeing a lot of hate, but I think that there's a good majority of people that will find it funny. The first preview of it wasn't that great, but the newest episode with the all girl sleepover was hilarious. Milo's over excitedness makes you perk up as well, and Bea is just like any other teenage girl, but a fish! Oscar is a little awkward but definitely adds to the show. Shellsea, Bea's friend, is my favorite character. I love the way she talks. There's random moments of not cartoon objects being thrown into the show too, which is random and makes you go "did that really just happen?" but in a good, funny way. It's not for everyone, but the out of nowhere randomosity (I may have made that word up) was enough to get me hooked. No pun intended. (Ok, maybe I intended that pun :P)
I am totally disappointed by this show. The animation is bad and the
scripts are not even that good.
Disney has a long history of humanizing animals and inanimate objects with amazing, and sometimes ground breaking results (think The Little mermaid, Aristocats, The Rescuers, etc.) and this is the best they can come up with for their flagship channel? Disney established itself as the place to go for quality animation. When the show was bad the art work was always great. Then came Fish Hooks. It looks like it was drawn by a grade school art class. It looks similar to an old cartoon I found on the internet called "Clutch Cargo." This deficit could be overlooked if the script was at least a little better. But there seems to be little hope for that in the near future.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
But I digress. Like the Super Mario Bros Super Show and Johnny Test,
Fish Hooks is one dead fish that should have been flushed down the
toilet. Why do I think Fish Hooks should have been Gordon Fishermen's
Fish Sticks? To quote Mario from Super Mario 64: Let's-a go!
First off, the animation is appalling. I mean, look at it! As I mentioned in the Johnny Test review, Fish Hooks is like an extreme terror if you fell asleep taking Z-quil while watching episodes of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Yeah, it's that bad. Second, there's this ugly as s--- character simply named "Clamanta". Would you feel like you want to take this "girl" out for a date? I don't think so either. And then, just to add the ultimate salt on the wounds, they actually make puppies into terrifying creatures! This show has the balls to portray one of the most cutest animals I have ever seen into monsters! If the Pound Puppies from the 1986 TV Series took a look a this, they would be horrified!
But, once again, I digress! Not even the Pound Puppies would find this TV series amusing. The animation is bull crap, the characters are beyond frightening, and puppies shouldn't look like horrifying beasts! I say avoid this TV series like the West Nile virus!
Fish Hooks isn't a perfect show, but I like watching it. I don't mind
the school related Plots since lots of TV shows have them. I think
Milo, Oscar, and Bea are pretty well rounded characters bouncing off
the world and people around them. The writing can get a bit stupid and
the show didn't start super strong, but the show managed to be well
written and entertaining all throughout. The show was originally
focused more on comedy, but it became more character and story driven
in later episodes, creating memorable episodes like "We've Got Fish
Spirit", "Fish Prom", and "The Big Woo". The show isn't perfect, but I
do like to watch it. I recommend watching this show with an open mind
Abdul look more on the morality side of the show.
My Grade 9/10 (A-)
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I saw the commercials and thought this would be a normal Disney show:
stupid and pointless. Granted, it can be those at times, but it has
some underlying themes that are surprisingly mature.
The show starts off innocent and unassuming. Three fish taking on the world in high school. I know it sounds strange, and it really is. But it's a little out there.
On the graduation episode, the affection you see between Bea and Oscar is very realistic. It's a little dumbed down for the kids, but it's still very believable and cute. The way the characters interact has always been very human and adorable.
The way everything comes together in the show can be sloppy, but that's how life is, right?
Every time I hear the theme song, I sing along with it because it's you know, very catchy, so catchy it gets stuck in your head. It's a billion times funnier than Cartoon Network's worst shows ever which are Teen Titans Go!, Regular Show, and Clarence (I can't believe it has a rating lower than those retarded shows). I think I know why it raised from a 4.2/10 to a 4.4/10 (I hope it can raise higher than a 6/10). Plus, like SoWakeMeUpWhenItsAllOver said, it's all your favorite cartoons combined. I think hating Fish Hooks is kind of like hating Johnny Test and SpongeBob (Hating SpongeBob is like how I hated Regular Show, it was good until the end of a certain season, where everything got stupid).
It has everything that makes people love Spongebob Squarepants from
Nickelodeon and Chowder from Cartoon Network. It has kid's favorite
element of completely randomness, and for the elder teens, it has
subtle ever-present humor. The characters are all unique to themselves
and to the show.
The first time I heard of it I was like 'What? It must suck.' Man, I was wrong. The first episode I watched got me 'Fish Hook- ed'. Surprisingly good! I understand why some people don't get the humor though.
It's an acquired humor.
When I first saw the commercials for this I thought "Oh lord, they are going to follow up Phineas and Ferb with this?" My reaction changed a bit when I actually saw a few episodes, since they were actually funny. There are a lot of "huh?" moments but overall it's a step up from a lot of the junk Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are putting out there nowadays. My only vice with this show is the animation style, it looks cheaply done (the parts with the pet shop etc...) With time, I see this show growing on the people that initially hated it. It won't be as big a hit as Phineas and Ferb, but I see Fish Hooks being around for a while, especially with Hannah Montana (hopefully) ending soon.

Meet Susan Ashton
When Susan Ashton's first single, "Down on My Knees," was introduced in 1991, radio station phone lines were jammed with calls. Fans wanted to know, "Whose voice is that?" The voice is a marvel. It's clear and strong, steady and controlled. Release Magazine says, "Ashton hits notes like Annie Oakley hits targets."
Her first album, Wakened by the Wind, shattered sales records for the best-selling album by a new artist. CCM readers named her their favorite new artist in 1992. Every released single on her first two albums entered the top 10 on national Christian radio charts, with five of those soaring to number one, including "In Amazing Graceland," "Hunger and Thirst," and "Here in My Heart," which she co-wrote. In 1995, after only three solo projects, she released The Best of Susan Ashton, So Far, Volume One, promising the listener more to come! She has received more than a dozen Dove Award nominations, including a group nomination with Margaret Becker and Christine Denté for their Along the Road album. Her fourth solo album, A Distant Call, is a solid pop project produced by a trio of the best—Wayne Kirkpatrick, Brown Bannister, and Michael Omartian. The program includes her progressive musical interpretation of songs penned by an eclectic group of writers, from Kirkpatrick and Billy Sprague to another pop artist, Sheryl Crow.
In the broadest of categories, there are two kinds of singers: the singer/songwriter and the vocalist. Susan Ashton is a vocalist, and songwriters feel that she is one of the best at making their songs live inside her. Gordon Kennedy, who co-wrote (with Kirkpatrick and Tommy Sims) "Change Your World" for Eric Clapton, comments that "A song is safe when Susan Ashton sings it. She would probably be able to take a mediocre song and make it great." Susan Ashton has the unique ability to make the theme of someone else's words and music incarnate in herself. Songwriters and producers acclaim that passionate ownership as a rare gift in a vocalist. She herself says, "When I select songs, they have to reflect where I am in my life right now . . . I don't sing songs just to sing a song."
Susan and her husband of five years, producer/musician J.D. Cunningham, live in a turn-of-the century farmhouse in Tennessee. Renovations are ongoing constantly with the house, as they are with Susan herself. "I have had to learn how to express my opinions without being offensive and balance that with letting people know who I really am so that they can understand that I am just strong-willed, not meaning to be offensive." If Susan has her way, one day the yard of her home will be transformed into an elegant English garden. And she herself will be transformed into the person God wants her to be. In reality, his call is not all that "distant," after all.

Gerry Conlon, Wrongly Imprisoned for 1974 IRA Bomb, Dies at 60
June 21 (Bloomberg) -- Gerry Conlon, who was wrongly convicted of the Irish Republican Army's 1974 pub bombing in Guildford, England, has died. He was 60.
"He was a big character," West Belfast Assembly member Alex Attwood said in a statement today on the Social Democrat & Labour Party website. "Gerry made a big and lasting impression on all those he met. He had a great resilience, an incredible warmth and a huge heart. He also had a deep commitment to justice and democracy."
Conlon, who was portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis in the 1993 Oscar-nominated film about the case, "In The Name Of The Father," died at his home in Belfast after a lengthy illness, the Press Association said.
Conlon was one of the so-called Guildford Four who were convicted and imprisoned for the bomb attack, which killed five people and injured 65 others.
His father, Giuseppe, was arrested after traveling to London from Belfast to help his son. He died while serving his sentence.
The conviction against Conlon was quashed by the Court of Appeal in London in 1989. "I have been in prison for something I did not do," Conlon told a crowd as he left the court. "I am totally innocent."
Tony Blair, as prime minister, later apologized for the miscarriage of justice.
Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said today Conlon and his father were two of the "most infamous examples of miscarriages of justice by the British political and judicial system," according to a statement cited by PA.

The Spit of Recollection
June 2, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A letter from Philip Larkin to Barbara Pym, July 18, 1971. The pair enjoyed a long, warm correspondence beginning in 1961; they met, at last, in 1975, at the Randolph in Oxford. "I shall probably be wearing a beige tweed suit or a Welsh tweed cape if colder," Pym wrote in advance. "I shall be looking rather anxious, I expect." In 1977, Larkin helped Pym find a wider audience by choosing her as the most underrated writer of the century.
Duke's Head Hotel, King's Lynn,
Dear Barbara,
I have a theory that "holidays" evolved from the medieval pilgrimage, and are essentially a kin of penance for being so happy and comfortable in one's daily life. You're about to point out the essential fallacy in this, viz., that we aren't h. & c. in our daily lives, but it's too late now, the evolution has taken place, and we do the world's will, not our own, as Jack Tanner says in Man & Superman. Anyway, every year I take my mother away for a week, & this is it. God knows why I chose this place—well, there are certain basic requirements—must be fairly near where she lives, must have single rooms with private bathrooms & lift, must for preference be near the sea … even so, one can make grave errors, & I rather think this is one of them. One forgets that nobody stays in hotels these days except businessmen & American tourists: the food is geared to the business lunch or the steak-platter trade: portion-control is rampant, and the materials cheap anyway (or so I guess: three lamb chops I had were three uncuttable unchewable unanswerable arguments for entry into EEC if—as I suspect—they had made the frozen journey from New Zealand). The presence of the hotel in the Good Food Guide is nothing short of farce. Of course it's a Trust House, which guarantees a kind of depersonalized dullness. Never stay at a Trust House. Read More »
Powder and Shot
March 23, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A letter, possibly unsent, from P. G. Wodehouse to Don Iddon, March 1954. Iddon, "a sleekly combed English reporter," wrote a weekly column about life in Manhattan for the Daily Mail. "Many [British] readers," Time wrote in 1951, "rely on Iddon's hodgepodge of gossip, press-agentry, and political hip-shooting for much of their U.S. news."
Dear Iddon.
A word for your guidance. Do you realize, you revolting little object, that the copyright of a letter belongs to the writer of it? If you plan to continue your practice of publishing private letters sent to your private address, you are liable to come up against someone who thinks you worth powder and shot—which I don't—and get into trouble.

Some claim that Anna Atkins—born on this day in 1799, in Kent—was the first woman to take a photograph. Others that hers were the first photos ever printed in book form.
Atkins was a botanist, an artist, and an accomplished nature photographer. Her father was a scientist, and he encouraged his daughter's early interest in botany. Both her father and her eventual husband, John Pelly Atkins, were friendly with the pioneering photographer and inventor William Henry Fox Talbot; it was probably Talbot who introduced her to the techniques she would come to use in her art.
In her books on British algae and her later work on plants and ferns, Atkins worked by contact-printing cyanotype photograms, and by "photogenic drawing," the process by which light-sensitive paper is exposed to the sun. Read More »
Don't Be an Author—Be an Authorpreneur! and Other News
February 17, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- "People don't want moral complexity. Moral complexity is a luxury. You might be forced to read it in school, but a lot of people have hard lives. They come home at the end of the day, they feel they've been jerked around by the world yet again for another day. The last thing they want to do is read Alice Munro, who is always pointing toward the possibility that you're not the heroic figure you think of yourself as, that you might be the very dubious figure that other people think of you as. That's the last thing you'd want if you've had a hard day. You want to be told good people are good, bad people are bad, and love conquers all. And love is more important than money. You know, all these schmaltzy tropes. That's exactly what you want if you're having a hard life. Who am I to tell people that they need to have their noses rubbed in moral complexity?" A new interview with Jonathan Franzen.
- On the new era of "authorpreneurship," in which no one can simply write: "Authors are becoming more like pop stars, who used to make most of their money selling albums but who now use their recordings as promotional tools, earning a living mainly from concerts. The trouble with many budding writers is that they are not cut out for this new world. They are often introverts, preferring solitude to salesmanship."
- A new study suggests that the three most desirable jobs in the United Kingdom are "an author, a librarian and an academic … The 'aura of prestige' connected with a career in writing or academia is preferable to jobs that brought promises of wealth and celebrity status."
- Copyeditor didn't make that list, but maybe it should have. There's a lot of prestige that comes with the title of Comma Queen, especially if you're judicious in wielding your power: "Writers might think we're applying rules and sticking it to their prose in order to make it fit some standard, but just as often we're backing off, making exceptions, or at least trying to find a balance between doing too much and doing too little."
- Are the British superior political satirists? Short answer: Yes. They enjoy "a combative temperament that our political satirists can't help but envy."

We're out until January 5, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2014 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
The elephant in the discotheque: the Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees' dominance of the charts in the disco era was above and beyond Chic, Giorgio Moroder, even Donna Summer. Their sound track to Saturday Night Fever sold thirty million copies. They were responsible for writing and producing eight of 1978's number ones, something only Lennon and McCartney in 1963/64 could rival—and John and Paul hadn't been the producers, only the writers. Even given the task of writing a song called "Grease" ("Grease is the word, it's got groove, it's got a meaning," they claimed, hoping no one would ask, "Come again?"), they came up with a classic. At one point in March they were behind five singles in the American Top 10. In 1978 they accounted for 2 percent of the entire record industry's profits. The Bee Gees were a cultural phenomenon.
Three siblings from an isolated, slightly sinister island off the coast of northwest England, already in their late twenties by the time the Fever struck—how the hell did they manage this? Pinups in the late sixties, makers of the occasional keening ballad hit in the early seventies, the Bee Gees had no real contact with the zeitgeist until, inexplicably, they had hits like "Nights on Broadway," "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever," and the zeitgeist suddenly seemed to emanate from them. This happened because they were blending white soul, R&B, and dance music in a way that suited pretty much every club, every radio station, every American citizen in 1978. They melded black and white influences into a more satisfying whole than anyone since Elvis. Simply, they were defining pop culture in 1978.
Like ABBA, there is a well of melancholic emotion, even paranoia, in the Bee Gees' music. Take "How Deep Is Your Love" (no. 1, '77), with its warm bath of Fender Rhodes keyboards and echoed harmonies that camouflage the cries of the lyric: "We're living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be … How deep is your love? I really need to learn." Or "Words," with its romantic but strangely seclusionist "This world has lost its glory. Let's start a brand-new story now, my love." Or "Night Fever," their '78 number one, with its super-mellow groove and air-pumped strings masking the high anxiety of Barry Gibb's vocal; the second verse is indecipherable, nothing but a piercing wail with the odd phrase—"I can't hide!"—peeking through the cracks. It is an extraordinary record.
Total pop domination can have fierce consequences. Elvis had been packed off to the army; the Beatles had received Ku Klux Klan death threats—the Bee Gees received the mother of all backlashes, taking the full brunt of the anti-disco movement. Radio stations announced "Bee Gee–free weekends"; a comedy record called "Meaningless Songs in Very High Voices" by the HeeBeeGeeBees became a UK radio hit. Their 1979 album Spirits Having Flown had sold sixteen million copies and spawned three number-one singles ("Too Much Heaven," "Tragedy," "Love You Inside Out"); the singles from 1981's Living Eyes—"He's a Liar" and the title track—reached thirty and forty-five on the chart respectively, and didn't chart in Britain at all. Almost overnight, nobody played Bee Gees records on the radio, and pretty much nobody bought them. The biggest group in the world at the end of 1978 went into enforced retirement three years later. Could they rise again? Of course they could. Read More >>
How She Knows
December 17, 2014 | by Bridget Read
Penelope Fitzgerald's shifting reputation.
Penelope Fitzgerald would have been ninety-eight today. We should mark the occasion by remembering that it is not extraordinary that she became a prize-winning novelist, though you may have heard otherwise.
In 2008, Julian Barnes described Fitzgerald as a jam-making grandmother, carrying a plastic, purple handbag. "Many readers' initial reaction to a Fitzgerald novel," he wrote, is, " 'But how does she know that?' " He said that he has reread the first scene of her book The Blue Flower (2000) many times, "always trying to find its secret, but never succeeding."
And most everyone knows the story of the Booker dinner in 1979, to which Fitzgerald supposedly wore a flannel housedress. When she beat out V. S. Naipaul for the prize with Offshore, Robert Robinson of Book Programme proposed that the judges had made the wrong choice.
Then there's Michael Dibdin, who once compared Fitzgerald to Jane Austen, of whom Lord Grey of Fallodon said something like, How astonishing that, despite the dullness of her life, she should write not only one novel, but several, and they are very good, too. Didbin was also incredulous of The Blue Flower: "How on earth was this done?" Read More »

The Great New York State Fair is still more than four months away, but planners have already chosen this year's theme.
Marcy, NY (WIBX) - WIBX asked listeners what tasty treat they would be most likely to try when offered the unique culinary selections at the State Fair. The Kahuna hot dog, encased by a maple donut roll, is this year's featured item but most of our listeners would not fess up to wanting to try it.
Marcy, NY (WIBX) - Does a hot dog wrapped in bacon and hugged between the folds of a maple-flavored donut sound yummy? If it does you will definitely want to try the Kahuna Donut Dog, cousin of last year's Kahuna Donut Burger, at the New York State Fair this year.
Syracuse, NY (WIBX) - An annual Labor Day and New York State Fair tradition is back, pitting drivers from across the state in a pair of winner-take-all events.

Philadelphia will host dozens of all-stars next month of the basketball and the musical variety.
As has been the case in recent years, the National Basketball Association's All-Star Weekend will attract a hotbed of artists from the pop, hip-hop and R&B worlds. Among the performers lined up for various activities and parties are Elton John, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Britney Spears, City High and Fabolous.
John will perform at the weekend's flagship event: the 2002 All-Star Game at the First Union Center on February 10. He will sing "Philadelphia Freedom" during choreographed introductions of the all-stars before the tip-off, as well as his new single, "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore," and his classic "I'm Still Standing" at halftime.
The 51st NBA All-Star Game, including John's performances and a yet-to-be-announced national anthem singer, will be broadcast live on NBC in the U.S., CTV in Canada, and in 210 countries around the world at 5:00 p.m. ET.
Combs, Enrique Iglesias, Alicia Keys and Lil' Bow Wow will join Britney Spears in a February 9 television special organized by the NBA to promote literacy (see "Britney Spears To Perform At NBA All-Star Literacy Event" ).
"The NBA All-Star Read to Achieve Celebration" will also include appearances by Carson Daly and actor Frankie Muniz ("Malcolm in the Middle"). The show, which will be broadcast at 11:00 a.m. ET on NBC, TNT, Nickelodeon, Nick GAS, BET and NBA.com TV in the U.S. and MuchMusic in Canada, will feature Spears singing "Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" and Bow Wow rapping "Take Me Home." (MTV's parent company, Viacom, also owns Nickelodeon, Nick GAS and BET.)
While the Read to Achieve event is not open to the public, tickets are available for the NBA All-Star Jam Session, the NBA's basketball theme park that will invade the Pennsylvania Convention Center from February 7 to February 10. Fabolous, City High, Naughty by Nature, Warren G, Fat Joe, Glenn Lewis, Jaguar Wright, Ruff Endz, Koffee Brown, Toya and others will perform on the Jam Session's Club NBA stage. Tickets for the event are available through Ticketmaster or on NBA.com.
Justin Timberlake and Brian McKnight will also be part of the NBA's official activities, joining hoops stars and legends (including Earvin "Magic" Johnson) in the inaugural 989 Sports' All-Star Hoop-It-Up tournament. The games, which will put a celebrity, an NBA star, a WNBA star and an NBA legend on each team, will be held at the First Union Center on February 9.
Perhaps more happening than the NBA events are the dozens of parties that will be held in Philadelphia over All-Star Weekend.
On February 7, former En Vogue/Lucy Pearl singer Dawn Robinson, Bilal and Philadelphia's own Amel Larrieux will perform at the fourth annual NBA All-Star pre-party at Polly Esther's, while Biz Markie, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ludacris and Mr. Cheeks perform at the Will Smith & Friends party at Electric Factory.
Biz Markie is scheduled to DJ at no less than a half dozen parties, including P. Diddy's All-Star Lounge — hosted by P.D., Magic Johnson and Jermaine Dupri — at the Franklin Institute on February 8. Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick will take the stage at the second P. Diddy's All-Star Lounge party the following night.
Also on February 8 and 9 is Sega Sports' Philly All-Star Concert featuring Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, the Roots, Jaguar Wright, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Kindred performing at the Electric Factory.
The Second Annual Hoop Magic Celebrity Basketball Game, with Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Boyz II Men, Jaheim and Missy Elliott participating and Ludacris and Tank performing at halftime, will take place February 8 at the Liacouras Center.
February 8 will also see the Cash Money Millionaires and the Neptunes hit the NBA All-Star Spangled Banner Bash at Deco Night Club; Funkmaster Flex at FUBU's Good Life Party at Brave New World; Fabolous, Chaka Khan, Ja Rule and Biz Markie at the National Basketball Players' Association All-Star Gala at the Liacouras Center; a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony reunion at TLA; and Kid Capri and Philly's Most Wanted at the NBA All-Star Weekend Bangout at Transit Nightclub.
On February 10, Electric Factory will host the Old School All-Stars party with performances by Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Doug E. Fresh, EPMD, DJ Jazzy Jeff, MC Lyte, Public Enemy, Rakim and Run-DMC.
That same night, Mr. Cheeks and Ron G. will play another Transit Nightclub Bangout; the Roots and other artists on the upcoming "Blade 2″ soundtrack (see "Eve, Ice Cube, Redman Go Electronic For 'Blade 2′ " ) will promote that album at Polly Esther's; and R. Kelly will host the Chicago NBA Player's Ball at the Ben Franklin Ballroom with performances from several Chicago DJs.
Jay-Z is also hosting parties throughout the weekend, though he has not announced any performances.
Shaggy, Dream, O-Town, Sisqó, Jessica Simpson and Harry Connick Jr. were among the artists who performed at various All-Star Game events last year in Washington, D.C. (see "Shaggy, O-Town, Dream Hoop It Up For All-Star Weekend" ).

Dear Casey Reader,
The final countdown has begun...On March 1, 2014, a little-known company is set to begin a rally that could send its stock soaring 1,000% or more...Because that's when this tiny company could release its biggest clinical trial results yet on a groundbreaking new medical treatment. If the news is positive, which I expect it will be, this will become one of the biggest medical stories of the century...Because this is the first treatment ever to target the cause of this dreaded disease... rather than just treat the symptoms. A treatment that could forever change the course of one of our world's most terrifying diseases.A disease that cost the world over $604 billion a year to treat and has had NO new treatments approved for over a decade. Already, this company has soared 97% in the last three months in anticipation of its March clinical results..But that's only the beginning of a rally that could bring you gains of 1,000% or more in coming months...But you must hurry...Once word gets out on this life-changing medical treatment, your opportunity to maximize your gains will be gone.So timing is critical here. And time is running out..
yep, it's our favorite immunotherapy biotech NWBO

Moffat Talks 13th, sorry, 12th Doctor

I'm not sure I want another story where the Doctor is aware that his regeneration is coming up. ... But we just had Tennant's run end with a story -- heck, an entire arc -- where he had advance warning that his demise was coming, and Smith's whole run so far has been dominated by prophecies about the Doctor's imminent death, and I'm just getting a little tired of it.
I suspect it's the nature of arc-based television storytelling that's driving this.
Eccleston avoided the long-term build-up to his regeneration, but that was due to the uncertainty from the producers as to 1) whether or not the series was going to continue and 2) whether or not Eccleston was going to continue in the role if the series did continue.
Since then, however, you're right in noting that both Tennant and Smith have their inevitable ending overhanging the stories themselves. And I think that the example of series like
is the reason because audiences are primed now to expect apocalyptic changes at the end of seasons. But those apocalyptic events can't happen in a vacuum; instead, they have to be hinted at, built towards, and made unavoidable as the episodes tick down toward the inevitable conclusion. So long as
Doctor Who
is made in the style of arc-based genre television, I doubt we'll see another shocking, non-apocalyptic regeneration like "Caves of Androzani."
In the particular instance of Matt Smith's regeneration to Peter Capaldi, I'd like to think right now that the reason Smith's Doctor was so freaked out by the appearance of John Hurt is that he already knows what happens after that point because he's already witnessed his regeneration through Hurt's eyes so he knows that when he meets Hurt's Doctor that his end is nigh. (I know that it's been said that Smith will be in the Christmas episode. I'm not convinced by that yet.)

reflux is less, aiming for purity, might it not be enough to maximize vapor
production to get the "Flavors" over the top? I use a big gas burner (for
boiling crab and lobster) under my boiler. With the infinite heat range (to
maximum, of course), might that push more vapor? The pic you attached used
fire, for instance.
As to fire vs electricity, why is the latter chosen over gas? Is it a
safety issue or a matter of convenience? I use very little LP gas in aiming
for 95% since the only vapor sought is Ethanol and the water runs only enough
to cool the vapor and equalize the reflux (2L water / min.). I must be
living on the edge or something, but the fire extinguisher is always close
Thanks for the reply...please don't think you're "ranting"! I can't get
enough information and sometimes the pearl in buried in the meat. More is

UT Study: Number of Uninsured Children Decreases, TennCare Satisfaction Remains High
The number of uninsured children in Tennessee has declined compared to last year, while the number of adults without insurance has remained the same, according to a study released today by UT Knoxville's Center for Business and Economic Research. Increased enrollment in TennCare, the state's medical assistance program for those with low income, and CoverKids, a program for children eighteen and younger, are possible reasons for this decrease, according to the study.

This Panasonic Connect To Cell System performs up to my expectations! It does not drop calls and its range is far better than I would have given it credit. I had no problems pairing up two Motorola Z6tv cell phones that are linked to six handsets. They all work perfectly. In short, I placed the base unit on top of a hutch and there is where it has been since its installation. The cell phones are within 13 feet of the base unit. Phone calls from the street in front of my house have been made, with better clarity than talking through the cell phones that are linked. I am happy.
I haven't had these long, but they have been great so far. I live in a rural area where cell reception is limited. I have been able to connect my cell and answer calls with the cordless phone. The calls are clear with good sound. I have been able to add phone numbers in the address book and it is very helpful to see who is calling. I have activated the talking caller ID, which is nice if you do not have the phone with you. Overall, I really like these phones.
I have owned this product for over a year now. I wanted to make sure that I gave it a good go before making a comment. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. It has made my life so much easier with the exception of a couple of things which I will get to in a moment. The joy of this product is that it connects with my cell on its own 98% of the time without prompting. I am guaranteed to get a perfect signal as long as I do not get too close to the base and I put my cell phone in a place in my home were I get optimum signal. The 2% problem with connection usually happens when I forget that my bluetooth ear piece that I use in my car is still on and my cell phone is still engaged with it, or I make the mistake of answering my cell phone instead of this phone when I am inside my home. At that point it often does not connect or disconnects the two and then I have to connect or reconnect after I have completed my call. My only issue is that when I make one of the above mistakes, it sometimes takes several tries to reconnect to this set. There are several ways to reset the connection, e.g. shutting off the bluetooth connection on my cell phone to this phone and turning it back on; shutting off the bluetooth connection on the cell all together; or shutting down my cell phone and turning it back on. I find the latter example to work for me. Regardless, this has been a wonderful investment for me since my cell signal is highly limited in my garden style (partially underground unit) home that is located in a densely tree flled community. I certainly would recommend this product and have to friends and family.
The phone is good and the bluetooth connection locks in as soon as you are with-in distance. To me the bad part is, the noice when on the phone and the ring the cell phone takes when a call comes in. In general the phone solves de problem of looking for the cell phone while in the house. Very easy to set up, and with little getting use, you are able to use your land line as well as your cell phone.
I would recommend this product to anyone that has a family member on your same cell provider and can use the free calling between users. One of the really great features is the talking caller-id, it will announce the call if there is an id and not a blocked call. I have a different system by another company and this system works much better. Love it.
With this product I can finally get rid of the land line and save myself hundreds of dollars per year. When I drive into garage, the base unit connects to my cell phone in my truck. So, I leave my cell phone in my truck and have phone hand sets throughout the house to receive or make calls thru my cell phone. The quality of the calls is excellent. This product should virtually eliminate all land line usage. It was easy to set-up. I purchased additional hand sets to complete my phone system. This is a great product and great value. It will pay for itself in less than three months.
I've read other people's review on this product with mixed result. But I DO need something that will allows me to call using the cell phone with the ease of using a traditional cordless handset. There are 2 products out there that fill this profile. My phone is not on the compatible phone list but I give it a go anyway. Surprisingly, the setup was very easy (after reading the manual) and the call quality was good. I am not sure why other users have difficulties, but I've great experience with this product. This product allows me to get rid of my landline altogether and save some money despite the fact that I've to use some more air time on my cell.
I have bad cell phone reception at my house and I don't always remember to drag my PDA phone around the house with me, so I was missing calls or dropping calls. This product is great because I can put the cell phone in an area of my house where I have good reception and still be able to hear the phone ring and take calls without drops. Sound is great, links with Bluetooth very nicely, hand set battery life seems really good, this product has solved all my phone problems at home.
We live in a metal building out by the river and only get cellular service if we sit by the window or door. We bought this unit and hooked it up and it's been great.We have a two story house and it works every where with no problems. The sound on the phone is good. The battery life is good. Only thing so far is there is a small delay when you pick up a call. But making a call is no problem. It was $10.00 cheaper at Wal-Mart and well worth the wait. I highly recommend it!!!!!!
I live in a remote area and had been looking at different services, MagicJack, VOIP, etc. Then I came across these bluetooth handsets. They have been great and saved me many frustrating dropped calls on my cell phone. To me they are worth every penny! I have cell phone reception at my house but if I didn't stay on the front porch (closed in) the call would drop all the time! Now I can roam around the house to the backyard and not worry about a thing, upstairs, downstairs and in the basement, it doesn't matter, no dropped calls!
This is a great product. Just link up the cell and its like having a LAN line. You can make calls between the linked phones if necessary. I am really happy with my purchase.
Product works extremly well. Easy to set up, good sound quality, and range is better than bluetooth earpieces on the market. The only problem I have had (which is not the fault of the phone system) is walking into the house on a call with a bluetooth earpiece. It conflicts with the phone system and requires a few minuters to reset after entering the house. I highly recommend this system.
This is the third link to cell phone that I tried. The first one that meets all expectations. I live in a rural area where my cell phone signals do not work well in my home. I place the cell phone in a high area away from computers and just keep it charged up (on top of the refrigerator) and the reception is great on the panasonic phone. I am so glad I bought this product. Now I can use my cell phone features at home where I need them the most. As well the panasonic phones have always been superior products.
If you want to eliminate your home phone and find a cellphone inconvienent to use, this is the answer! Just set it up in a good reception location and your done! When you drive in your garage, it automatically links and you are on a regular phone. Separate tone for each phone (two). Very easy to set up, but read the instructions for location. A great way to get rid of a landline.
This product works great for me. Does exactly what it says it will do. I really like it. I recomend it to any one. I already have emailed everyone in my address book about this product. I think its great!
Excellent product. Once paired, it would connect automatically once your cell phone gets in range.
When connected, still able to talk on the cell phone.
I bought this product coz we don't have a landline, and with a 2-sotry home, it was a pain carrying the cell everywhere. Now I just leave my cell in one place and answer from either handset 1 downstairs or 2 upstairs. Ringer loud enough to be heard around house.
Other reviewers reporting lots of problems with this phone must have had a prior version or problems with their cellular device. I have Motorola Razr and Bluetooth connection works perfectly every time. Voice quality and volume are fine, too. All features of this phone work well for me.
I have only used this item a short time but I'm impressed with its performance. It has lots of bells and whistles and I'm still learning them.
I like the way it sounds and its ease of use, but the best part is that my wife will finally let me get rid of our land line.
I don't have the best cell reception in my house, and I'd heard about the Panasonic Cell Link cordless phone for your house, so I decided to give it a try. It works great, and was exactly what I was looking for. This phone uses bluetooth and connects to your home phone, so you can talk on the cordless phone rather than your cell. I've placed my cell and base unit in an area that gets better reception and it works perfectly!
This phone was a gift to my family who only have cell phones and who are always getting disconnected or having to repeat things due to poor quality phones and/or getting cut off completely by a battery needing to be recharged. It worked so well, right out of the box that it was scary. It also worked on my ATT GoPhone which has Bluetooth. I would recommend this product to everyone who has a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with or without a landline. It makes calling as easy as having a landline and the quality of the sound reception is excellent and is fantastically improved over just a cell phone while using the cell phone service to make long distance calls. If you have a landline get the caller id service added so that it will announce your callers with Talking Caller id. Tons of useful bells and whistles.

The graph shows badger-derived infection (scenario 1; solid bars) compared with badger-derived and externally-derived infection (scenario 2; dotted bars). For scenario 2, the low density-dotted bars represent an externally-derived transmission probability of 0.0001, the medium density-dotted bars represent a probability of 0.001 and the high density-dotted bars represent a probability of 0.01. 95% confidence intervals are also shown. For a group size of 4, infection did not persist unless the probability of externally-derived infection was at least 0.001.

Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have successfully carried out what is believed to be the first initiative conducted exclusively among teenagers to show significant improvement in their asthma outcomes.
The quality improvement initiative, conducted in a primary care setting, dramatically improved asthma control and outcomes for high-risk adolescents.
The study is published online in the journal Pediatrics.
"Improving asthma is particularly difficult for teenagers, whose adherence to treatment is often poor and outcomes worse than those of younger patients," says Maria Britto, MD, director of the Center for Innovation in Chronic Disease Care at Cincinnati Children's and senior author of the study.
"We were able to achieve sustained improvement in patients whose chronic asthma is not well-controlled by implementing a package of chronic care interventions. These included standardized and evidence-based care; self-management support, such as self-monitoring by using diaries and journals; care coordination and active outreach among healthcare providers; linking these teens to community resources; and following-up with patients whose chronic asthma is not well-controlled."
From 2007 to 2011, Dr. Britto and her colleagues at Cincinnati Children's focused improvement efforts on 322 primary care patients, all of whom had asthma. Only 10 percent, however, had optimally well-controlled asthma. By August 2009, the proportion of these patients had increased to 30 percent and remained at that level over time.
Moreover, the initiative resulted in nearly 100 percent of patients receiving an evidence-based care bundle of tools to control their asthma. These tools included an action plan (which included goal setting and learning how to overcome barriers) and controller medications at the most recent doctor visit. Prior to the initiative, only 38 percent had received this bundle.

if you have LONG lenses you might consider a camera that can take a really long rail --- i use lenses from 65mm - a 210/370.
good luck!
Second on this. Its light and can be toted around mounted on the tripod with relative ease. I just sold mine (moving to 8x10) but it was used quite successfully with a number of HABS level architectural documentation projects; exteriors, interiors, and entire domestic/landscape documentation. Sinar is great, but it is an expensive overkill outside of the studio...
something witty and profound needs to be inserted here...
I doubt that you will find anything that beats it. They seem very light, easy to use and rugged.
I've had one for about 4 years and am fond of it.
I'll second the use of the Sinar Norma for photographing architecture. I used to do a fair amount of commercial work, using the 4x5 size. Then I got an 8x10 back for landscape shooting. Now I have a sizable portion of the Norma system, and a 5x7 back. That is something new and different for me.

Well I'll put my two cents in a SInar F1 with bag bellows In my opinion it's a cut above. Plus the Swing tilt and all movement are a breeze because they show you how with the controls in the back and the ground glass is set up to give help with a wide angle bellows and your choice your in like Flyn whoever he might be

Any decent 4x5 with a bag bellows and a good selection of short lenses with center filters if you start using the really tight stuff. The long lenses aren't going to be as important (to me) as are the short ones, which require plenty of coverage and movements at short focal lengths. Best, tim
don't forget the recessed lensboard.....
The Carbon Infinity is great, but out of production and only rarely available in the second-hand market.
