Our family of 5 (myself, my husband, our 2 daughters ages 11 & 13 and my sister) stayed at this hotel for one night after our cruise.
We had booked through emails and they were wonderful to work with.
The hotel is a perfect spot one block away from La Sagrada Familia. The room we had was well appointed with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a nice living room, a nice walk out balcony where we could see La Sagrada and a nicely appointed kitchen.
We arrived early in the morning and the hotel kept our bags in a secured room while we went out and explored the city until our room was ready. The hotel clerk was very helpful on getting us setup with Bus Touristic tickets, maps and places to see.
The hotel is fairly quiet, and you can put the electronic metal blinds down to keep out some of the street noise. The hotel is very clean and nicely appointed and had free wi-fi. They provided a roll-out bed for my sister and she was very comfortable in the living room. The beds are a bid hard but weren't too bad.
The hotel did lose electricity for a bit during the night and it must have caused a problem with the elevators as they were not working the next morning when we woke up. We were on the 5th floor which was 7 flights of stairs and we had lots of luggage. The desk clerk was wonderful and helped us get our luggage down all the flights.
Great place and great service. We would definitely stay here again.

Gatsby and the robots
"Belief in 'the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us,' as F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in The Great Gatsby, is a characteristic American trait." So writes the seasoned pundit as he prepares his readers for a think pieces on… robots. Watch now how he deploys Gatsby:
"Is a yet more orgiastic future beckoning? Today's Gatsbys have no doubt that the answer is yes: humanity stands on the verge of breakthroughs in information technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence that will dwarf what has been achieved in the past two centuries. Human beings will be able to live still more like gods because they are about to create machines like gods: not just strong and swift but also supremely intelligent and even self-creating."
But just in case the tech-optimism gets out of hand, our pundit reaches for Mary Shelley, creator of "the cautionary tale of Frankenstein". Intelligent machines have a scary side and this could herald "great dangers," such as "soaring unemployment and inequality." Is this, then, our destiny? "The answer is no." Hawking, Musk and Gates may be sounding the alarm bells but, "What we know for the moment is that there is nothing extraordinary in the changes we are now experiencing. We have been here before and on a much larger scale."
Bottom line: "The future does not have to be a disappointment. But as Gatsby learned, it can all too easily be just that." All this, and more, can be found in "Same as It Ever Was: Why the Techno-optimists Are Wrong" by Martin Wolf in the July/August issue of Foreign Affairs. The article shows how useful Gatsby can be as an inspiration for, well, anything, including robots. The novel never gets tired.
Tomorrow, here, Jay Gatsby is sent to the front lines of the gender wars. Gays and feminists battle it out as they seek deeper meaning between the sheets, er, pages.Tweet
Did James Joyce imagine Snapchat?
Happy Bloomsday! The name is derived from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses by James Joyce. The novel's characters wander around Dublin on 16 June 1904 and as one of them, Stephen Dedalus, remarks: "Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves."
Ulysses is said to be the most written about book ever after the Bible and, like the Good Book, it contains truth and prophecy. In this exchange from Episode 1, Telemachus, Joyce imagines the invention of a mobile messaging app that allows users to capture images that self destruct after a few seconds.
"— Is the brother with you, Malachi?
— Down in Westmeath. With the Bannons.
— Still there? I got a card from Bannon. Says he found a sweet young thing down there. Photo girl he calls her.
— Snapshot, eh? Brief exposure."
Snapshot, eh? Brief exposure, eh? Isn't that Snapchat?Tweet
I believe in capitals and the occasional comma
"James Joyce is a good model for punctuation. He keeps it to an absolute minimum. There's no reason to blot the page up with weird little marks." So said Cormac McCarthy in a rare 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
McCarthy's combination of declarative sentence and minimalist punctuation can be seen at work in this graphic excerpt from Blood Meridian:
Toward the morning they saw fires on the horizon. Glanton sent the Delawares. Already the dawnstar burned pale in the east. When they returned they squatted with Glanton and the judge and the Brown brothers and spoke and gestured and then all remounted and all rode on.
Five wagons smoldered on the desert floor and the riders dismounted and moved among the bodies of the dead argonauts in silence, those right pilgrims nameless among the stones with their terrible wounds, the viscera spilled from their sides and the naked torsos bristling with arrowshafts. Some by their beards were men but yet wore strange menstrual wounds between their legs and no man's parts for these had been cut away and hung dark and strange from out their grinning mouths. In their wigs of dried blood they lay gazing up with ape's eyes at brother sun now rising in the east.
The wagons were no more than embers armatured with the blackened shapes of hoop-iron and tires, the redhot axles quaking deep within the coals. The riders squatted at the fires and boiled water and drank coffee and roasted meat and lay down to sleep among the dead.
Rain: Too much and not nearly enough
"Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards," said Vladimir Nabokov. His comment is atypical as rain rarely earns a good punch line. Worse, in a rapidly urbanizing world, rain is regarded as a nuisance and few people have a kind word to say for it. The stuff that fills shoes, wrecks hairdos and allows unscrupulous umbrella sellers to practice a form of surge pricing that would make Uber envious lacks a lobby. But that should change soon thanks to Cynthia Barnett, author of Rain: A Natural and Cultural History. Using humour and science she examines rain's role through the ages, and what emerges is a unifying force of nature that has nourished our planet for more than four billion years. Snippet:
"Rain brings us together in one of the last untamed encounters with nature that we experience routinely, able to turn the suburbs and even the city wild. Huddled with our fellow humans under construction scaffolding to escape a deluge, we are bound in the memory and mystery of exhilarating, confounding, life-giving rain." Cynthia Barnett, Rain: A Natural and Cultural History
Dracula Therapy
On this day in 1897, Dracula, a novel by the Irish author Bram Stoker, was published at a price of six shillings. It had a print run of 3,000 copies and the book was bound in plain yellow cloth with the one-word title in simple red lettering. In time, Dracula would become the supreme example of horror fiction. The critic Maurice Richardson described it as "a kind of incestuous, necrophilious, oral-anal-sadistic all-in wrestling match". What's not to like?
"Then she paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one's flesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer — nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited — waited with beating heart." — Bram Stoker, Dracula
In his longing for eternity, Dracula developed an insatiable demand for blood and it's not surprising that one of the hottest treatments in the anti-ageing business right now is the vampirish "Dracula Therapy." Officially titled Stimulated Self Serum skin therapy, it involves having your face injected with your own blood and it was developed by the London-based French cosmetic specialist, Dr Daniel Sister. A variant of the treatment is popularly called the "vampire facial" and recipients include Kim Kardashian.
A modification of the therapy, called "Rejuvula", promises the same tightening effect — but not for the face. Irishwoman Claudia McGloin claims that she is the only female medical professional offering the treatment "for Vagina Rejuvenation in Europe."
"The blood is the life!" — Bram Stoker, DraculaTweet
Houellebecq and the capitulation of cover art
"For the purpose of Appreciation and Categorization" is the motto of The Book Cover Archive, and there is much to appreciate and categorize on this World Book Day when it comes to book covers. Think of the art of Roger Kastel for Jaws by Peter Benchley. With Soumission, the latest novel from Michel Houellebecq, however, we're seeing a different kind of cover art. The art of capitulation.
In his book, Houellebecq paints a picture of an old, ailing Christian nation, France, submitting to a more vigorous ideology: Islam. It is a bitterly funny critique of the tolerance of the intolerant and a terrifying vision of the multicultural endgame. The book is a best-seller in France, Germany and Italy, despite the best efforts of its publishers to neutralize its appearance. The two-tone cover of the original French version is devoid of art; the German version, Unterwerfung, features the head of a bird, and the Italian cover of Sottomissione dispenses with imagery completely. The US publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, is silent about the cover of Lorin Stein's forthcoming translation but one fears that the supine trend will continue. Given the vital role of cover art in the history of book making, it is hard to accept that publishers would willingly embrace aniconism, the proscription against the creation of images, but Sottomissione is the proof.
"Music always sort of sharpened me up"
"I refuse no reasonable offer of work," Anthony Burgess declared in 1978, "and very few unreasonable ones." During a lifetime that began on this day in 1917, Burgess wrote more than 30 novels, dozens of film and television scripts, several symphonies, hundreds of newspaper articles, studies of language, music, Shakespeare and James Joyce, a pair of plays and books for children, a volume of poetry, a ballet, and a two-volume autobiography. His most famous creation, A Clockwork Orange, is a disturbing exploration of violence and evil. Filled with innovative language, the book questions the role of "culture" in society. Alex, the narrator, is a thug who loves classical music, but rather than temper his cruelty, it actually spurs it:
There was music playing, a very nice malenky string quartet, my brothers, by Claudius Birdman, one that I knew well. I had to have a smeck, though, thinking of what I'd viddied once in one of these like articles on Modern Youth, about how Modern Youth would be better off if A Lively Appreciation Of The Arts could be like encouraged. Great Music, it said, and Great Poetry would like quieten Modern Youth down and make Modern Youth more Civilized. Civilized my syphilised yarbles. Music always sort of sharpened me up, O my brothers, and made me feel like old Bog himself, ready to make with the old donner and blitzen and have vecks and ptitsas creeching away in my ha ha power.
Practical grounds for love
One year, 2012, actually, "What is love?" was the most searched phrase on Google. The answer remains elusive but it's worth pondering this exchange from Pride and Prejudice, when Lizzy Bennet is questioned by her sister Jane:
"My dearest sister, now be serious. I want to talk very seriously. Let me know every thing that I am to know, without delay. Will you tell me how long you have loved him?"
"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley."
Primo Levi remembers the horror of Auschwitz
Primo Levi described his return to Italy from the Auschwitz concentration camp in La tregua (The Truce). In this Paris Review interview, Levi reminisces about one of the book's characters: "You remember Mordo Nahum? I had mixed feelings toward him. I admired him as a man fit for every situation. But of course he was very cruel to me. He despised me because I was not able to manage. I had no shoes. He told me, Remember, when there is war, the first thing is shoes, and second is eating. Because if you have shoes, then you can run and steal. But you must have shoes. Yes, I told him, well you are right, but there is not war any more. And he told me, Guerra es siempre. There is always war."
Today, as the world commemorates the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we should strive to understand the revulsion that Primo Levi felt towards those who took part in the Nazi extermination campaign and also towards those who could have but did not speak out against it. In memory of the murdered millions, here's an excerpt from The Truce:
"There is no rationality in the Nazi hatred: it is hate that is not in us, it is outside of man. We cannot understand it, but we must understand from where it springs, and we must be on our guard. If understanding is impossible, knowing is imperative, because what happened could happen again. Consciences can be seduced and obscured again — even our consciences. For this reason, it is everyone duty to reflect on what happened. Everybody must know, or remember, that when Hitler and Mussolini spoke in public, they were believed, applauded, admired, adored like gods. They were 'charismatic leaders'; they possessed a secret power of seduction that did not proceed from the soundness of things they said but from the suggestive way in which they said them, from their eloquence, from their histrionic art, perhaps instinctive, perhaps patiently learned and practised. The ideas they proclaimed were not always the same and were, in general, aberrant or silly or cruel. And yet they were acclaimed with hosannas and followed to the death by millions of the faithful."
Michel Houellebecq reads in Cologne
Topping the bestseller list at Amazon.fr is Soumission by Michel Houellebecq. Is his vision of a supine French "submission" to a gradual Islamic takeover a farce or a warning? Tonight, in Cologne, people will have a chance to make up their own minds when the controversial author makes one of his rare trips abroad to speak about his work. Unsurprisingly, the Lit Cologne event is sold out.
Soumission is set seven years in the future, in the year 2022. Mohammed Ben Abbes becomes president of France and immediately all women must be veiled in public, state secondary schools adopt an Islamic curriculum, and the protagonist, François, is told that he cannot return to his university job unless he converts to Islam. He happily submits to the new order, not for any religious or philosophical reasons, but because the new Saudi owners of the Sorbonne pay far better — and he can be polygamous. As he notes, in envy of his new boss, who has converted already: "One 40-year-old wife for cooking, one 15-year-old wife for other things… no doubt he had one or two others of intermediate ages."
For those who are not fortunate enough to have a ticket to see Michel Houellebecq in action tonight, this Paris Review Q&A, "Scare Tactics: Michel Houellebecq Defends His Controversial New Book," is essential reading. Snippet:
Have you asked yourself what the effect might be of a novel based on such a hypothesis?
None. No effect whatsoever.
You don't think it will help reinforce the image of France that I just described, in which Islam hangs overhead like the sword of Damocles, like the most frightening thing of all?
In any case, that's pretty much all the media talks about, they couldn't talk about it more. It would be impossible to talk about it more than they already do, so my book won't have any effect.
Doesn't it make you want to write about something else so as not to join the pack?
No, part of my work is to talk about what everyone is talking about, objectively. I belong to my own time.
The Warmth of Other Suns
In 2014, more than 276,000 people immigrated to Europe illegally. That's almost 140 percent more than in 2013, according to figures published by the EU. The most of these migrants sailed across the Mediterranean, and the newest method of trafficking them is cruel and effective. The smugglers buy cargo ships from scrapyards, pack hundreds of people onto them and collect thousands of dollars from every one. Then, in the middle of the Mediterranean, the captain sets the auto-pilot for Italy and jumps ship.
Isabel Wilkerson addresses the mass movement of people in the The Warmth of Other Suns and while her focus is the American South during the 20th Century, the eloquent conclusion she reaches is universal:
"The migration was a response to an economic and social structure not of their making. They did what humans have done for centuries when life became untenable — what the pilgrims did under the tyranny of British rule, what the Scotch-Irish did in Oklahoma when the land turned to dust, what the Irish did when there was nothing to eat, what the European Jews did during the spread of Nazism, what the landless in Russia, Italy, China, and elsewhere did when something better across the ocean called to them. What binds these stories together was the back-against-the-wall, reluctant yet hopeful search for something better, any place but where they were. They did what human beings looking for freedom, throughout history, have often done.
They left."

You could have killed your friend for setting you up on a blind date. Not literally, figuratively. In her mind for some reason, you needed to have a man in your life and you thought you were perfectly fine without one. You were content with your life.
In the end, you went a long with the idea and were starting to feel like an idiot for doing so. You wore a simple navy blue short sleeved dress that came a little above yours knees with simple black flat shoes. You didn't feel it was necessary to dress up completely for a date you weren't all that interested in the first place. Plus, to top it off, your blind date had asked for the two of you to meet at a bar. Of all the places in the world for a date, a bar, how lame was that?
You just wanted to turn around and go home, you were pissed. However, your friend had followed you and kept staring at you waiting for you to go in. You let out a sharp sigh before entering the bar. You looked around attempting to find your date. The only thing you

You were stuck at home on a beautiful day with one of the worst colds you had ever had the misfortune of contracting.

OKLAHOMA CITY - MARCH 18: Kenny Boynton #1 of the Florida Gators pushes the ball up court in overtime against the BYU Cougars during the first round of the 2010 NCAA men s basketball tournament at Ford Center on March 18, 2010 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Middle Tennessee wasn't intimidated by No. 10 Florida. The Blue Raiders got physical with the bigger, stronger Gators, playing the kind of defense coach Kermit Davis felt they had to play to have a chance Sunday. They just couldn't do it for 40 minutes in a 66-45 loss. ''Last year we won at UCLA, we won at Tennessee, we beat Ole Miss on a neutral-court game in Mississippi. So we come in, we expect to win these kind of games,'' Davis said. ''Florida was too good today, and we didn't have enough guys play well.'' Kenny Boynton scored 20 points and put an exclamation mark on the victory by scoring his Florida's final 13 points. The senior moved into sixth place on the school's career scoring list while helping the Gators (3-0) remain unbeaten. ''He got some late. I thought we did a good job on Boynton,'' Davis said. ''The game was kind of over, and he made some. He's a really good player.'' Will Yeguete had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Gators, who opened the second half with ...

Archive for the Gallery Updates category
Film page, screen captures and clips from 'Semi-Pro'
The filmography-updates continue today with coverage of Kristen Wiig's role in the 2008 comedy Semi-Pro. The movie, starring Will Ferrell as Jackie Moon, had Kristen Wiig in a small – but very funny – role as a new bear handler ("I've been working with cats for like twelve years, so I'm very familiar with animals."). A new film page has been added along with HD screen captures and a clip from the movie.
Film page, screen captures and clips from 'Unaccompanied Minors'
The filmography was just updated with information, the gallery with screen captures and the video archive with a clip from Kristen Wiig's very first film role in Unaccompanied Minors. In the 2006 movie, directed by Bridesmaids' Paul Feig, Kristen has a very small role as the "slutty mom" of one of the characters. She has one line in the film, which Feig refers to as "criminally under-used". I think we all can agree with him, right?
Screen captures from season 31 of 'Saturday Night Live'
This is it! I have added the final batch of screen captures of Kristen's work on Saturday Night Live! She was first introduced to us mid-season in the sketch "The Soaking Wet Killer" on November 12, 2005. She brought us characters such as Target Lady and A-hole Girl as well as hilarious impressions of Judy Garland, Drew Barrymore and Megan Mullally. It's been a great experience re-watching all the episodes, Kristen is such a gifted actress and seeing her evolve throughout the years on SNL was truly a pleasure. There are a handful of episodes throughout the seasons that are missing screencaptures still, know that I'm on the look-out for them!
Fear not – this is not the final SNL-related gallery update. I still have a ton of promotional photos from all seven seasons, as well as the specials (such as Women of SNL and A Very Gilly Christmas) that will be added soon!
Screen captures from season 32 of 'Saturday Night Live'
Over 3,000 screen captures from the 32nd season of Saturday Night Live have been added to our photo gallery. This was the second season for Kristen Wiig and we were introduced to three recurring characters: the one-upper Penelope, inappropriately flirty reporter Michelle Dison and the Weekend Update movie critic Aunt Linda. We also got to see more of Target Lady, the Two A-Holes, as well hilarious appearances in the Digital Shorts "D*ick in a Box", "Dear Sister" and "Body Fusion".
2013 Golden Globes coverage, part 3
For our third and final update (for now, at least) covering the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, I have added pictures from the after party Kristen Wiig attended once the ceremony ended. She showed up at the The Weinstein Company's 2013 Golden Globe Awards After Party and was seen chatting and dancing with Bill Murray, the Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Anne Fulenwider and more. Later in the evening, she was spotted dancing in circle with none other than Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner, Sienna Miller, Eric Stonestreet and Jon Hamm in middle at Soho House LA. See the pictures from the former after party in our photo gallery.
2013 Golden Globes coverage, part 2
For the second Golden Globe update I have added tons of high-definition screen captures of Kristen Wiig's TV appearances throughout the show. Including the presentation of Best Comedy Actress with Will Ferrell and various audience-shots. Even more coverage coming up in a few!
2013 Golden Globes coverage, part 1
In the first of several to come, I have added lots of additional pictures of Kristen Wiig attending the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards last night. She looked stunning in a black Michael Kors dress with cut-outs in the front and back. Wiig and Will Ferrell presented the award for Best Comedy Actress to Jennifer Lawrence, if you haven't watched the clip yet be sure to do it now. You won't be disapointed. Simply click on the previews below to see all the new photos in full size, as per usual. Stay tuned for more!
Live coverage from Golden Globe Awards tonight
As mentioned before, Kristen Wiig is set to take the stage as a presenter at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight. What better way to celebrate the night than with additional pictures from her appearance at last year's show?! Lots of photos of a dark-haired Kristen Wiig at the 2012 Golden Globes have been added to the album. Also, we will be covering the show live tonight, including first photos and other fun things. Check back later for that. For now, enjoy these new photos!

Awh, Tenzin is adorable. Scooping up his wife and basically running away, because he didn't want to get caught. Makes me think of my sister and I when we were younger and listening in on our parents talking about us, haha. I really like Tenzin written like this, not having a stick up his butt and being kind of childish. Love it.

I was wondering about pro bending teams when the airbenders came around! I love how you incorporated her first line as her last line too:) I really liked this tidbit!

| SkepticalBeliever chapter 11 . 11/18/2014
Not sure if this is fanservice for Botara fans or a hint at something more in The Phoenix Queen, but either way, I loved it.
I have to say, it is impressive when a fanfic writer can get me to ship an OC with one of the story's main characters (a secondary ship, but a ship nonetheless). Good job!

I love this! Especially the special chapters of rise of one! Do you think, if possible do a special chapter of the black games? Maybe when Suki died and the cannon was shot from Zuko's POV? Love u!

very nice short story the only question that i have is aurora a firebender or a waterbender or a nonbender because i cannot imagine the ruling fire lady not being a firebender
| Lykg chapter 15 . 4/21/2014
Oh, this is INTENSE!
Poor Zuko! Yeah, yelling at her wasn't nice, but it's hardly his fault she was nearly assassinated...
I love reading scenes from Zukos pov! You do him so well.

wow that was amazing. i'm dying for the third part!
| Kale E. Rion chapter 15 . 1/4/2014
That was a beautiful POV for us to get to see! 3 We've wanted to see Zuko's thoughts for so long, and even just this little sliver has been a joy to read! Well, despite the situation, of course. xD Poor Katara and Zuko. I bet he felt so helpless and so terrified as he ran through those many corridors and turns, growing more desperate and afraid seeing all that blood coming from her throat.
You've done a great job of capturing his personality and this moment. I hope we get a chance to see more of his POV as extras when you write TPQ. :)
Thanks so much for this!

Comprehensive prediction of chromosome dimer resolution sites in bacterial genomes
1 Systems Biology Program, Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keio University, Endo 5322, Fujisawa, Kanagawa 252-8520, Japan

3 Department of Environment and Information Studies, Keio University, Endo 5322, Fujisawa, Kanagawa 252-8520, Japan
BMC Genomics 2011, 12:19 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-12-19Published: 11 January 2011
During the replication process of bacteria with circular chromosomes, an odd number of homologous recombination events results in concatenated dimer chromosomes that cannot be partitioned into daughter cells. However, many bacteria harbor a conserved dimer resolution machinery consisting of one or two tyrosine recombinases, XerC and XerD, and their 28-bp target site, dif.
To study the evolution of the dif/XerCD system and its relationship with replication termination, we report the comprehensive prediction of dif sequences in silico using a phylogenetic prediction approach based on iterated hidden Markov modeling. Using this method, dif sites were identified in 641 organisms among 16 phyla, with a 97.64% identification rate for single-chromosome strains. The dif sequence positions were shown to be strongly correlated with the GC skew shift-point that is induced by replicational mutation/selection pressures, but the difference in the positions of the predicted dif sites and the GC skew shift-points did not correlate with the degree of replicational mutation/selection pressures.
The sequence of dif sites is widely conserved among many bacterial phyla, and they can be computationally identified using our method. The lack of correlation between dif position and the degree of GC skew suggests that replication termination does not occur strictly at dif sites.

Nine reasons why I enjoyed "The Hobbit"
I took the day off today, and caught the morning showing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey at my local theater (where you can get in for five bucks at shows before 11 AM). I've been nervous about this film, not sure it could possibly live up to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, even with Peter Jackson and his team in charge. The last Peter Jackson film I saw was King Kong, which was awful primarily because it was excessively overlong. So you can imagine my fear at The Hobbit – a lighthearted chi … [Read more...]

My family and I went to see Life of Pi last night.

Atlas and Aurora
Over the past weekend, stunned and saddened like everyone else over the violence in Colorado, I took time to watch the movie Of Gods and Men for the third time. This was in preparation for an upcoming retreat.Watching that movie, about the monks of Our Lady of the Atlas Mountains, who were martyred during the Algerian Civil War in 1996, gave me a new and, I hope, contemplative perspective on both the shootings and how ordinary people might respond to them. The monks of Atlas lived Christlike … [Read more...]

Thursday 8:00 PM on FOXIn Season
I was kinda excited for a new villain... until he crashed a computer by carving on bone. It just seems a little too much in the realm of science fiction for me.
I am sad, the time changed and now I can't watch it. I have to wait until it is released on the internet. I would race home on Thursday night just in time to catch Bones. Now when I get home it's over

It actually isn't that too far-fetched of an idea. Fractal patterns are generated in nature and you can create fractal patterns yourself also. For example, drip artists create fractal patterns in their artwork.
If you remember in the episode, Angela mentions that the edges of the ribs, I think it was the ribs, all had fractal patterns on them. The new villian had encoded his worm into those fractal patterns and as soon as Angela's computer program read those fractal patterns into its system it started running the worm program which caused her computer to crash and burn.
A computer worm is just code and codes can be made up of fractal patterns, so the idea that the 'bones' contained a computer worm isn't too much of a stretch for me.
I liked the episode and I think he'll make for an interesting villian, especially if he's as smart as I think they're going to write him, he'll be like a master chessplayer and be 3-4 moves ahead of everybody as they play catch-up.
I kind of wonder if they weren't forecasting how this new villain will be caught when he has that conversation with Booth where he states that by making things more complex to make them secure, we actually make them more insecure and then Booth answers it's simple guys like him that catch people like him.
So I'm thinking it's going to be something simple and non-techy that will trip the villain up, just a feeling.
Good episode. I do also echo other people's sentiments about why isn't there any mention of Parker?
Looking forward to the return of this villain, or as he calls himself The Hacktivist.
Now another 2 and 1/2 months or so till the next episode...sigh...well, at least there's still Castle, Once Upon a Time, and Person of Interest.
This episode was actually quite interesting.
When I first saw the murder scene and human gut being used, I was like uh oh another cannibal sort of thing.
but I think the whole tech savvy super intelligent antagonist is quite an interesting arc.
I loved how Bones kept reiterating that he couldn't be smarter than she is.
"I don't know anyone whose smarter than me" LOL

And I agree with this speculation.
Plus the virus on the bones was genius. And again as above explained, its not entirely impossible.
And now the long wait.....Sigh.
I love Bones and I think last night's episode was great and very smart. But I have one problem with this season, Parker. They only mentioned him once and not once did they tell us how he reacted on the news of Brennans pregnancy. It's like Parker doesn't exist any more and I really that.
First off, I hate that they moved Bones to 8 so they can make room for a show I can already see is not going to make it. Mostly it's annoying because 30 Rock and Parks and Rec are on at the same time and to be honest the way this season has been going I'm more likely to keep tuning into channel 4 instead of channel 5.
I thought the case was interesting and I like that they've begun a story arc with a new villain. It's also interesting that we already know who the killer is. This arc is all about how they end up bringing him down and how many more people die before they do. I wonder how long he'll be around. He hasn't really gone up against Brennan yet and given the size of this guys ego he's going to want to go up against the good doctor.
Now, I've been trying to give it a chance, but I have to say it. The magic...the spark between Booth and Brennan is gone. There is no tension between them. HH said the new tension would come from the couple stuff BB have to deal with and I think they could have pulled it off. It's pulled off in fanfiction-shout out to my favorite author va32h(Seriously check out her stories on fanfiction.net-It's like reading the perfect episode of Bones). It could have been pulled off, but they're just a boring couple now, shopping for a house, sitting in the living room talking about a case....There's no more banter. It all seems a bit forced, even on David and Emily's part. Sigh-I didn't want to say it, and I'll still watch the show on Friday when it's on hulu because I'm loyal, but I'm hoping everyone gets it together before this great show officially jumps the shark.
I've never though Emily was a bad actress, I just never thought she was anything special, anyways that look that Brennan gave Sweets when he compared finding a gift for Daisy to her search for a home was damn near oscar worthy, compared to her other displays of emotion, imo
Really looking forward to the new villain, they went all out with this one and he seems to have designs on getting in the heads of every member of the team so this could be fun
oh c'mon! that URST thing is ancient! i for one has been so tired of it, and glad that phase is over. now, can someone mention that this feels like old Bones again?! Ska-doosh!

Up front, I really like the episode and the new direction the writers are taking us both at the business and personal level for the characters. I enjoy how the current suspect (OK, the villain) has a reasonable and honorable goal. It is his obviously bad choices of method that make him evil. One can pity him for not seeing he's as bad (if not worse) as the people he tries to expose.
Sigh, though. Your comment on the virus points out the one part of the episode that really got me upset. Many people are going to believe they/you/someone can scan a virus or Trojan Horse into your/their/any computer. You can't!!
I'm not saying something you scan can't cause your computer to act incorrectly, as it can. What I'm saying is the computer isn't misbehaving because you uploaded/scanned a virus, Trojan Horse, or malware. Why? What you scan is data and computers don't execute data - unless someone sabotages it in advance.
So while it is possible for what we saw to occur, it isn't for the reasons given in the story. The reason it is possible is because someone sabotaged the computer (built and cocked the gun) in advance and the scan "pulled the trigger."
What makes this even more "scary" are the possibilities this sabotage method gives to its user. While Angela says the "bone" added a zero to the fan control, how do we know that is all it did? Maybe before it added the zero it affected other computers on the network, including the security system or even set itself up to access the home computers of people working at the lab!!
How might it really work? Given our new "super villain" already showed he can break into computer systems, it is reasonable to have had him previously break into (one or both):
1) The lab where Angela works or
2) Into one of the software companies that makes products used by Angela.
In either case the guy (or gal) would create a program to look at each image entering the computer by whatever means (uploaded/downloaded) and look for a predefined image. Think of this like being an username and password. When the code sees the proper image, it would then break apart the rest of the fractal for additional steps / instructions. The implications are:
1) This image analysis code could be in more than just the computers used by Angela.
2) The code before it it added the zero to the fan control was able to affect other computers at the lab. NOTE: This is an assumption given most companies don't firewall each computer and the internal network. Firewalls typically are external. Even very security minded sites using compartments don't firewall each computer or even each application.
NOTE: The concept and usage of sandboxes is the closest one can get to really providing application level security. Yet, a really good villain can get past this by affecting the sandbox code, itself. My Senior college project was on operating system security and how one can bypass most if not all security by getting access to the hardware thus bypassing any designed security, audit trails, etc. Id' be happy to discuss this offline should it interest someone.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing where the writers take us with this villain. Hopefully they'll take us on a wonderful roller coaster ride that doesn't end as quickly as real roller coasters seem to end, but give us a long line of twists and turns. Who knows maybe this villain can end up helping them with a serial killer or two or three before he's put away.
Oh, here's a thought! Once caught, he's judge mentally defective for some reason and ends up with Zack, who notices ... well, another wide ride could start ... just a thought.
I loved this episode. Actually, my favorite of this season. They finally have an interesting case, and a very challenging killer. Great to see Caroline again, more interactions with all the other characters too. Loved when Sweets couldn't believe that Bones was actually listening to me, so funny! It just really felt like the old Bones again to me. I'm glad Bones was pleased with that house, it would scare me!! Way too much work!! The only down side to me is that we have to wait until late March or April for the next episode. Very happy with this one though!!
I guess the thing I liked about the new bad guy is that he is
smart/resourcefull enough to challenge Brennan,
"antipatriot" enough to make Booth furious,
artistic enough to compete with Angela,
and brings the cospiracity nut-case that is Hodgkins alive... (always fun to watch)
So the entire team of the Jefersionian is challanged... that is what kept the episode entertaining. They know (at least for now) who the killer is but they can't prove it.
Aside from that, the episode had just the right amount of B/B. "You found our house" was a sweet moment as well as "Our daughter just kicked because she likes her room". I think was cute, but as soon as Brennan said it I was frowning. It was wierd coming from her. Guess that shows how much she is grown.
Fav lines.
"I don't know anyone who is smarter than me"
"Mr. Lincoln seems to be intact" (I cracked up when she said that).
"Don't mention Booth to Booth, he will shoot you"
Review...The Voice of TV...
Review...TV Fanatic...
Buddy TV...
Overnight Ratings...
Bones did well but not Finder...

|Angela and Hodgins are together, Booth and Brennan are together, Sweets and Daisy are together. Camille is always going to be alone, I blame the writers.
She technically has a child and is dating that guy. She just isn't involved with someone in the lab.
I personally don't like the main villain. I don't mind you find out right away who it is. The idea behind the character isn't bad. I just don't like the performance. There is just something off about the acting or the writing.

Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Walks Away From 160, Now Targets Bika
Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (47-1-1, 32KOs) has officially walked away from the middleweight division, according to Mauricio Sulaiman, the Executive Secretary of the WBC. While most expected him to stay at 168 after struggling to make the super middleweight limit for his controversial win over Bryan Vera in September. The weight limit had to be increased to 173-pounds a few days before the fight.
After the Vera fight, Chavez claimed that he was still capable of getting down to 160 for the big names, but that is now a thing of the past. Chavez is now targeting the WBC champion at 168 - Sakio Bika. [Click Here To Read More]

Chavez pisses me off.
He had more upside that Canelo. This dude smoked weed, ate cereal, and didn't train for the lineal mw champion of the world and nearly wrecked him the 12th.
The Chavez that beat Andy Lee is the Chavez I want to see: relentless, in shape, and ****y. Sadly, the Chavez that fought Martinez, and especially the the one that "beat" Vera was only ****y.
There's no reason why Vera should have hung with one-punch at a time fat Chavez.
Come dude, get it together.

sakio bika is waaaaay over the hill.
with a single very close loss to the supposed king of the m/weights, he should be pressing for a rematch.
thats what DADDY would want.
its the only fight for him i think.
sakio bika at 40+ fights with one defeat? not a good choice of 8itches.

Dude barely made 173, of course he's not going back to 160
I bet he was running in the treadmill all tired and made the decision right there "**** naw this is too hard. I've had that happen to me lol. Settle for a higher weight and just become happy with it.

So first the WBC strip Martinez to make the 160 belt available to him, now they strip Ward and line up another belt for Jr against an easier opponent.
Must be nice have Uncle Sulaiman behind you.

Management Report:
Opportunities for Improvements in FDIC's Internal Controls and Accounting Procedures
GAO-05-553R: Published: Jun 10, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 10, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9521
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In February 2005, we issued our opinions on the calendar year 2004 financial statements of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF). We also issued our opinion on the effectiveness of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) internal controls as of December 31, 2004, and our evaluation of FDIC's compliance with significant provisions of selected laws and regulations for the three funds for the year ended December 31, 2004. The purpose of this report is to discuss issues identified during our audits of the 2004 financial statements regarding accounting procedures and internal controls that could be improved, and to recommend improvements to address these issues. Although these issues were not material in relation to the financial statements, we believe they warrant management's attention.
During 2004, we identified several internal control issues that affected FDIC's accounting for the funds it administers. Although the amounts would not have been material to the financial statements taken as a whole, these issues would have resulted in reporting errors had they not been detected by our audit and corrected by FDIC. Specifically, we found that FDIC made errors in calculations supporting its allowance for losses on receivables from thrift resolutions. These errors would have led to misstatements in SAIF's and FRF's financial statements. Further, FDIC did not have effective compensating controls in place to ensure the accuracy of pay computations related to the National Finance Center's (NFC) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Other payroll expenses could have been misstated in the funds' financial statements. Finally, FDIC did not detect billing errors made by a contractor, resulting in overpayments to the contractor. The lack of effective invoice review procedures increases the risk of overcharges for goods and services and that they may not be detected and recovered.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, FDIC issued a a formal notice to primary and secondary reviewers.
Recommendation: FDIC should issue a formal notice to all individuals who perform primary and secondary reviews of asset valuations reminding them of their responsibility to ensure that assets are valued in accordance with the Standard Asset Valuation Estimation methodology.
Agency Affected: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FDIC agreed with our recommendation and has reviewed its existing compensating control over NFC-processed payroll information and determined that additional controls are not warranted.
Recommendation: In light of the errors we found in FDIC employees' TSP accounts and continued serious internal controls deficiencies cited over NFC's payroll processing functions, FDIC should review its existing compensating controls over NFC-processed payroll information to determine whether additional controls, such as periodically verifying NFC's mathematical calculations related to FDIC's payroll data at the individual employee level, are needed to ensure that other NFC mathematical calculations related to FDIC's payroll data are correct.
Agency Affected: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FDIC agreed with our recommendation and issued a memorandum on May 10, 2005, reminding oversight managers of their critical responsibility for reviewing and approving contractor invoices.
Recommendation: FDIC should issue a formal notice to all individuals who review and approve invoices reminding them of their responsibility to compare each invoice to the terms of the contract prior to approving the invoice for payment.
Agency Affected: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

What a great story! I found this yesterday and spent a wonderful day reading it straight through. I LOVE the kids and I love Draco and Harry making such a wonderful family.

I swear, this is one of the best Romance/Family based HarryDraco fanfic. The only thing I would say you should either change or expand upon would be the Severus and Sirius relationship.

You are a wonderful writer and i hope you wright more and more stories. you have been added to my favs :)

Ridgeway, Sth Carolina to StAugustine, Florida
... remained a tourist town. As Americans took to the highways in search of a vacation land, St. Augustine became a destination for automobile-borne visitors. The tourism industry came to dominate the local economy. The city celebrated its 400th anniversary in 1965 and undertook in cooperation with the State of Florida a program to restore parts of the colonial city. The continuation of an effort actually begun in 1935, what became known as the "Restoration" resulted in preserving ...
Wes- Quick Trip to Florida
Jack and I had a good run to Jacksonville from Bozeman. Made it all the way to Lawrenceburg, TN the first day. We were really beat after 10 hours of flying, but It was just too hard to give up those tailwinds. After a quick over nite at the hospitable FBO in Lawrenceburg, we made it to Herlong Field in JAX by 10 AM. So now sporting a new 3 bladed CS prop from ...

Luckily, he picked up, gave us the code and off we went to Publix. Lucky Aaron had realised this before we left, otherwise we'd be locked out until uncle Rob returned and there would be no lovely dinner waiting for him.We get back, prepare lemon and pepper chicken with a quinoa salad. Uncle Rob returns from his bike ride, showers and cleans up and we eat dinner around 8pm outside again and enjoy wine (as ...

We were celebrating until after 1:00 AM! I was completely happy. Nothing in the world could make me happier that night. I slept like a baby after all of the dancing and emotion! I am so thankful to everyone who made my buon voyage special. I just wish I could take all of "my people" with me to Italy- I will miss everyone dreadfully! Although I can't fully express that evening and everything that it meant to me, I think one word sums it up pretty well... BLESSED.

Not Worth the Price
By Sheryl
from Surrey, BC
Just got this today. It says 16 inches with a 2 inch drop - not so. It sits like a 16 inch necklace. The turquoise looks like glass as it has a glass covering over it. Also, why doesn't TSC advise when an item is being delivered outside of the TSC? This came requiring a signature and I almost missed the postal guy which would have meant having to go to the post office to pick it up. Going back - beginning to hate having to pay for something that is not as represented!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
