Product Description
From Booklist
On December 13, 1795, a small meteorite plunged to the ground near the Yorkshire village of Wold Newton. According to veteran sf author Philip Jose Farmer, the crash produced a radiation shower that blanketed two horsedrawn carriages carrying some extraordinary witnesses. The meteorite was very real (a memorial marks where it struck); the witnesses were entirely fictional. As delineated in a series of papers spanning several decades of his career, Farmer's "researches" identified among the witnesses an impressive roster of celebrities, including everyone from Captain Blood, Sherlock Holmes, and Allan Quatermain to Tarzan, Doc Savage, and James Bond--often along with their offspring--just to name a few. Editor Eckert collects all of Farmer's so-called essays as well as others by several fans to fill out Farmer's fanciful scholarship. Although the volume appeals primarily to Farmer fans, anyone interested in "secret" biographical tidbits on Holmes and his popular-literary ilk may enjoy at least taking a peek. Carl Hays

Book Description
In his classic biographies of fictional characters (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life), Hugo- and Nebula-award winning author Philip Jose Farmer introduced the Wold Newton family, a collection of heroes and villains whose family-tree includes Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, Philip Marlowe, and James Bond. In books, stories, and essays he expanded the concept even further, adding more branches to the Wold Newton family-tree. MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE: PHILIP JOSE FARMER'S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE collects for the first time those rarely-seen essays. Expanding the family even farther are contributions from Farmer's successors-scholars, writers, and pop-culture historians-who bring even more fictional characters into the fold.

The result is a mess. Virtually every piece in the book will baffle and confuse an uninitiated reader. It`s poorly edited, containing obvious errors of fact that should have been caught in the editing process, and a lengthy section of endnotes for the entire volume, rather than a set at the end of each article.
While there are some intriguing and accessible articles here, notably Christopher Paul Carey`s fascinating "The Green Eyes Have It -- Or Are They Blue", and the contributions of Mark Brown and Cheryl Huttner, most of them can be easily accessed through the Internet by anyone who takes the time to search for them. And they certainly don`t make the volume worthy of purchase.

In Tarzan Alive, Farmer did several things that set the tone for all Wold Newton works to follow. First, as noted, he followed the lead of Baring-Gould's 'biography' Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street and claimed that many fictional characters were in fact real people. Second, he analyzed the 'fictionalized' texts and attempted to reconcile any conflicting information, much as the Holmesian canon has been scrutinized for lapses in continuity by Baring-Gould, the Baker Street Irregulars, and others. Lastly, Farmer created the concept of the Wold Newton Family - a grouping of fictional characters that Farmer claims are blood related, including Tarzan, Holmes, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Raffles, Professor Challenger, the Shadow, and many others. He also accounts for the prodigious talents of Holmes, Tarzan, etc. by revealing that they are descended from a group of people traveling by coach in Wold Newton, Yorkshire, England in 1795 when a meteor struck a nearby cottage. The passengers of those coaches were exposed to radiation from the meteor, and this accounts for the benevolent mutations of their offspring (the Wold Newton meteor strike actually did occur on that date). Of course, their offspring all intermarried, and things became very complex.
Farmer continued to explore these ideas in Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, a 'biography' of the classic pulp hero. Not only does Farmer further the conceit of the hero being a real person, but he adds many branches to his Wold Newton family tree. By the end of DS:HAL, we see a huge family of extraordinary folk emerging, from the Spider, James Bond, and Fu Manchu, to Leopold Bloom from Ulysses, Vonnegut's Kilgore Trout, and Farmer's own hero Kickaha from his World of Tiers series - among many others. Farmer adds more outre texts (from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to Harlan Ellison's talking dog Ralph von Wau Wau) than in his previous work and doesn't claim they are fictionalized to the degree asserted in TA.
Now, many years later, comes this superb volume edited and including work by Win Eckert, who has maintained the premiere site for Wold Newton speculation on the Web. Eckert has coined the term 'Wold Newton Universe' to denote that many more fictional characters than dreamed of by Farmer inhabit the same shared universe. Eckert has added many characters by documenting crossovers between fictitious characters from all media, in all genres, though the pulp theme remains strong. Eckert explains how the WNU 'works' and his own methodology in Myths for the Modern Age. Dr. Peter Coogan contributes an amazing essay, 'Woldnewtonry', which describes the way various writers 'wold', that is bring in more characters and reconcile more contradictory texts. There are many essays here by 'post-Farmerian' writers, such as Chuck Loridans, who reveals which female adventure characters are the 'Daughters of Greystoke'; Brad Mengel, who explores the tangled family tree of Sherlock Holmes; and Dennis Power, who discusses 'Asian Detectives in the Wold Newton Universe', brings Kipling's Mowgli into the Wold Newton Family in an interesting way and provides, with co-writer Coogan, a definitive look at the long and storied life of Burroughs' John Carter of Mars (which is timely what with a feature film on John Carter in pre-production).
I cannot recommend this book highly enough to any and all fans of Philip Jose Farmer, pulp heroes, Tarzan, Holmes, or crossover fiction such as the League of Extraordinary Gentleman (for which MFTMA contributor Jess Nevins has penned two exhaustive companion volumes). You may not agree with all of the theories about your favorite genre characters and the connections between them (just as in real scholarship, the 'parascholarship' employed here invites a wide range of sometimes conflicting theories - attempting to reconcile them into a cohesive universe is one of the many thrills of 'The Game'). But you will definitely have an incredibly entertaining and informative read.
If you are a fan of early twentieth century speculative and fantastic fiction, the pulps, or Philip Jose Farmer, this book is a must read. It is also of special interest to fan fiction writers and role playing gamers, presenting a first rate re-imagining of established fictional characters.
I strongly recommend it.
This is where Win Eckert comes in. He was the first person online to promote Farmer's unified fiction theories and expand them well beyond their pulp orgins with his website AN EXPANSION OF PHILIP JOSE' FARMER'S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE in 1997. His groundbreaking work on crossovers and fictional genealogies has inspired many other fans to participate in the Game, each new author bringing his own field of expertise to the forefront, building on Farmer, Eckert and each other. The book you are about
to buy is the culmination of eight years of research into the art of 'literary archeology'. Win Eckert is still at the helm, though he has already been elevated from a fan to a professionally published author. His essays, along with those of many others, have been edited by Mr. Eckert and collected into Myths for the Modern Age: Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton Universe.
Is it the definitive look at the Wold newton Universe? Certainly not, and that's the point. The 'WNU' is still expanding, and always open to interpretation. Farmer is still the founder of this feast of the unknown exactly which entres make up the main course is for each reader to decide, for this feast is a buffet, with choices ranging from Lovecraftian horror and Howard's barbarian literature to Roddenberry's Star Trek and Universal Studios' movie monsters, there is something for everyone on the menu. And now, thanks to Eckert's book, we have a baker's dozen more chefs stirring their pots. What a feast it is!
At its best, this is no 'Game', but a scholarly investigation into connections that might otherwise might've gone unnoticed or been unacknowledged. Despite the various subjective takes on the Farmerian Monomyth by the other authors also included here, all ultimately serve to contribute to a rising awareness in the reader of Farmer's own intricate and well-researched ideas, and the obvious great lengths he's undertaken to uncover them. Beginning with TARZAN ALIVE!, followed by DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE, and including various related tomes, Farmer blew the lid off a kettle of worms, and now has a plethora of like-minded individuals following in his footsteps, equal in fervor and sometimes even with the same high standard of technique and craftsmanship.
No matter how the book is taken, MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE : PHILIP JOSE FARMER'S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE is a great read and will interest anyone who is into pulp literature, thought-provoking essays, not to mention comic books, as Wold-Newtonry closely parallels the now-rampant staple of 'crossovers' in that medium.

Obama Team to Support Gov. Cuomo in Campaign Finance Reform Battle
In January, Gov. Cuomo reiterated a point in his State of the State address that he's made since his first day on office: New York needs to completely overhaul its campaign finance system ASAP.
"We must enact campaign finance reform because people believe that campaigns are financed by someone else at exorbitant rates," he told the audience. Except, in a modern political landscape where voices are heard through dollar signs, his plan has not made it out of the rhetorical stage.
But maybe a boost from a victorious White House team will help a bit.
According to Politico, Organizing for America (OFA) will join forces on the "fair elections" issue with Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, starting first with a conference call for supporters. "This is about empowering real people in the political process and making sure that voters are the ones deciding an election -- not the corporations, special-interest groups, or lobbyists," an e-mail told members.

For those who missed the last two Presidential elections, OFA, formerly known as Obama for America, is the unbelievably powerful grassroots side of the Obama administration--a well-equipped and super-high-tech force of Democrats who have redefined canvassing in the modern era. That might sound hyperbolic, but these guys beat Mitt Romney--a candidate held up by more Wall Street money than the Monopoly man.
Cuomo has gained quite a powerful ally in this fight.
As of now, individual donors in New York state elections can do essentially whatever they want (maximum contributions right now are past $10,000). In lieu of that, the governor wants to implement a matching funds system similar to the one we have here in the city. Anyone with a last name that isn't Bloomberg would say it's mediocre at best.
The move by OFA could signal a change of pace on overturning Citizens United via constitutional amendment--a gesture mentioned sotto voce by the White House a few times. In turn, that'll make sure none of this happens again.

I am trying to change the values of axis...but just the axis text and not the graph.
For example, I have data as
x = [10,20,30,40]
y = [100,200,3000,400000]
Now,the graph is between x and y
but in the axis I want
ax_x = [ex/10 for ex in x]
ax_y = [math.log(y) for ey in y]
And the axis of this graph has ax_x and ax_y as values instead of x and y?
How do i do this?

your career at BCF Event
On May 28th 2009 the fifth edition of BCF Event will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. BCF Event (short for Bio Career Event, Chemistry Career Event and Food Career Event) is the largest career fair in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) for highly educated professionals (BSc level and higher) focusing on the sectors Life Sciences, Chemistry, Food & Pharma.
During BCF Event about 2 500 participants get to meet approximately 100 employers in the sector. The event consists of an interactive career fair with booths from the different organisations and a career corner in which you can get career coaching, have your CV checked and meet several networking associations such as YEBN. Furthermore, there is a programme of presentations and workshops about a.o. networking, how to present yourself, job searching and starting your own company.
But what makes this career fair so very different from other career fairs? Niels Wheeler, Project Manager of BCF Event, explains: "At most career fairs you can only meet recruiters that are trying to sell their company. But scientists don't fall for that, they speak a different language. At BCF Event you can actually meet the scientists working for the companies, so you can really learn what it's like to work at the company, how the atmosphere there is and what kind of day-to-day tasks you will be doing if you work there."
This difference between what scientists want to know and the information they get on a normal career fair, is exactly the reason why the career fair was organized for the first time five years ago. Haifen Hu, initiator of BCF Event, explains: "When I studied Biotechnology, I noticed that it was difficult to get information on the job market. I knew the multinationals and received enough information on PhD-positions, but that was it. I visited the National Career Fair, but this was too broad. The people I spoke to there weren't scientists."
There was immediate enthusiasm about the idea of setting up a separate career event for Life Sciences in which personal contact would be paramount. Haifen Hu: "For the first Bio Career Event we expected 400 visitors, but there were over 900." It is clear that the concept is highly appreciated. In four years time the event nearly tripled in both its number of employers and its number of visitors.
BCF Event is an international career fair. Not just because the spoken language at the fair is English, but because there are many international visitors (40 different nationalities last year) and many multinational employers.
What makes the career fair even more international, is the International Talent Programme for Life Sciences & Health which is held form 25 - 29 May. Haifen Hu: "50 high potentials are selected for a royal treatment in which they get to visit several Life Sciences hot spots in The Netherlands and meet many renowned research institutes and companies. And the best part is, they don't have to pay anything. They even get a travel bursary." These talents will also visit BCF Event on the May 28th.
Unfortunately, registration for the programme is already closed, so you cannot participate this year. But keep an eye on our website to see when registration for the International Talent Programme for 2010 starts.But why The Netherlands?
Because The Netherlands is a small, densely populated country, the different companies, research institutes, universities and academic medical centres are all very close. This makes cooperation very easy. The way universities, institutes and companies cooperate in The Netherlands is unique, because even competitors will get together to discuss and solve their collective problems. This allows scientists to work together in teams consisting of both industry and academia. This way you get access to a huge wealth in knowledge and build a strong network.
Another reason why The Netherlands is a good place for international talent to further their career, is that English is the spoken language in all research intensive companies and universities and that the general population also has a good command of English, so its easy to get around, even if you don't speak the language.

That's because Bisons starting pitcher Jeremy Hefner had crafted a dominant display of pitching beforehand, allowing the Bisons to build a comfortable lead they would not relinquish. Simply put, Hefner was in control. After allowing a leadoff single in the top of the first, Hefner did not allow another hit until the seventh inning. In that span, he only allowed one walk. Hefner's pitching, along with a consistent offensive and defensive effort across the board, led to a 9-0 Bisons win over Syracuse Friday night. Hefner's success did not come from overpowering batters in the form of strikeouts. The right-handed pitcher, who pitched three shutout innings for the Mets April 23rd, only had three strikeouts in his seven innings of work. But he refused to allow crisp c...

Named after a 20th century Minneapolis downtown landmark , the Curtis Hotel, Curt's just glad his Dad wasn't facing south or he'd be Lemington A. His Mama was a Lewis so he always felt an affinity to "Uncle" Jerry. Curt hints at the possible assignation with Carl Perkins when she waitressed at the Flame. He's also fond of that old chestnut about Dave Dudley drying out in the basement in the Moorhead before he could tour behind "Six Days". Read more about CURTISS A with a little help from his friends Special GuestsSpecial Guests: THE SUBURBS WEBSITEFACEBOOKTWITTERINSTAGRAMI am now going to tell you what I have been telling people relentlessly since I left Minneapolis for college in 1986: listen to The Suburbs. They're the best band you've never heard of. It was true in 1986. It's still true. Still true that they are the best, and still true—to my decades-old frustration and fury—that you, non-Minnesotan, have still not heard of them. Read more about THE SUBURBS THE CACTUS BLOSSOMS WEBSITEFACEBOOKTWITTERRED HOUSEWhen my brother and I started making music as The Cactus Blossoms there wasn't a big plan. We cut our teeth performing some well known and obscure country songs that were popular or unpopular pre-1960, partly out of curiosity and deep appreciation, but mostly because it was fun. Early on we were given a residency at the Turf Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. We got a band together and it became our weekly practice-in-public where we would pull out every song we could think of, no matter how well we knew it. It was our first chance to play all night and do whatever we wanted.

Sonny Knight and the Lakers Do It Live, from the eponymous group, is a loving return to the height of live Rhythm and Blues, with Knight and his band perfectly capturing the uproarious vibe and rebellious musicianship of an era long gone in their first live album release.

It was great seeing the fish and reef.
only comment, when you get out of water for lunch, had a cold lunch and air conditioner was on. we were freezing. Warm food would have been nice.
Great trip out to Great Barrier Reef. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Have all the snorkeling gear including wet suits that you need. Like the pontoon boat that you use to suit up and get in the water from.
Took helicopter back to Hamilton Island. Great views from air of the reef. Boat return trip was rocky because of winds. So glad I did the helicopter tour home. Highly recommend this trip!
This tour was amazing!
This was an amazing trip! My sister and I have always wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef, and this trip was the perfect way to do it. There is truly nothing else like seeing the reef in person. It is just breathtaking! The crew was absolutely wonderful as well!
Excelent. The only disapoiting thing was the rain.
Excellent tour and very well organised. There is something for everyone whether an experienced diver or non swimmer.
had an amazing time, staff were very helpful. This is a must to see and do.
What an amazing day!!! I highly recommend that anyone traveling to QLD does this tour. such a beautiful part of the world to experience and what beautiful people to experience it with. I cannot thank the staff enough for making our trip so memorable.
This cruise was worth the price :
Great day out. Boat and crew superb. Reef absolutely fantastic.
Amazing!!! Very well organised, and great care taken of all passengers, great food great staff amazing day
Wonderful trip. Helicopter experience highly recommended.
La Titii Gibraltar
Enjoyed the day tour, will book again same tour in the future. Staff was very organised friendly and helpful.
Incredible experience - great day.
This trip gives access to the reef no matter what physical capabilities you have. All staff are very helpful.
Teun Netherlands
Worth a trip to Australia!
Best way to see the reef - knowledgeable crew, great food.
Amazing trips to GBR and the hill inlet. Super friendly crews . Highly recommended!!!
This tour was amazing!
One of the highlights of my trip to Oz - can't recommend this trip highly enough - you must take up the offer of the scuba diving - I had reservations as I hadn't even snorkelled before and only wish id done the scuba diving.
gkurn4 United States of ...
Absolutely fabulous! We had a full boat, but the Captain, crew and staff members had everything well organized. Every question was answered pleasantly no matter how many times it was asked. We loved snorkeling and even scuba diving for the first time. Plenty of food and drink. You could tell these people enjoy their work especially sharing the beauty of the reef with others!
One of the best days ever! First time snorkelling and it was mindblowing. Fantastic staff and beautiful cruise there and back. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for helping make our 4 year anniversary so special.
Very well organized tour. Very friendly staff capable of helping clients in a variety of languages. Once upon arrival on the pontoon, there are a number of things to do. You can observe and enjoy the Great Barrier Reef without getting wet if that is your choice. I also noted a large number of the staff dedicated to safety issues and watching out for the very young guests. A very nice day and worth the money.
Amazing! I loved seeing the reef and to swim with the fish. The tour itself was well planned. A great boat trip, where everything is explained to you, makes your day easier to plan. Once you arrive at reef world you have a boat with the glass bottom, which was not to special. You couldn't see too much of the reef, but Once you dive in yourself it great. I was by myself but the crew really looked after me. I had so much fun. Your lunch is included. I would really recommend this, if you are around the whitsundays, just make sure you get to see the reef! And this way it was relaxing, and they let you do whatever you want to do. So even everything is planned out, you still feel free and it feels like an adventure. Worth your money!

Insist he goes room by room
Submitted by Anon (not verified) on
My ADD husband and I purchased a "fixer-upper" a year ago. Knowing that living in a house while remodeling would be horrible, we live a mile away in a condo. The plans for the remodel included a complete overhaul of the kitchen (wiring & plumbing included), new windows, new exterior doors, fis plaster and paint throughout and refinishing the old hardwood floors. Hubby is very handy and works in the construction/trades full time. I also work full time and have two kids from my first marriage.
My problem is that it has been a year and we are not even close to being done with the house. Hubby religiously goes there every night to work on it but nothing is done!! The kitchen is torn down to the studs, wiring has been looked at but not removed/updated, some of the windows are replaced but not trimmed out, one door has been replaced but no door knobs or locks put on it . . . everything is started but NOTHING is finished. What the heck is he doing over there?!?!
I have told hubby that I think it is time to hire some help to finish the work. He tells me that I am being impatient and that we can't afford it. Paying two house payments for another year seems more expensive than hiring help.
Any advice on how I can either convince him that we need to hire help -OR- help him get organized and finish the twenty things he has started but not completed?

Good Luck to you on your attempt to have your hubby finish that house. Our complete remodel is in it's 10th year with no end in sight. Sorry, but I have no encouraging words.

I've tried that on a couple of tasks but in the end husband always comes up with some kind of excuse why the task was not completed. But, I have become used to this through all of our years together and just go with the flow. He's the type that if you say something about the task not getting done he acts like a child and gets frustrated because I'm picking on him!!!!!! Unfortunately, we are unable to hire someone, at this time, as we are both about to be kicking unemployed rocks. Otherwise, I would have done that in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the suggestions! Getting everything down on paper with irrefutable math might prove my case. Having someone work with him might also be helpful.
I did hire someone to repair and skim coat the walls. My hubby agreed to it - mostly because he doesn't like doing that particular job. Hey - whatever works, right!?! I can start priming and painting the walls now (wahoo!). I'm hoping that seeing things get done might give him some momentum to finish the rest of the things that are started . . . I'll keep you posted!

Unpackaged is shutting down after just 12 months in Hackney
Ethical grocery, bar and restaurant Unpackaged will throw open its doors on Richmond Road for the last time next week, after its foray into Hackney didn't work out so well.
The shop, which promises so-called organic refills to people sensibly wishing to cut out pointless plastic packaging, will have its last day's trading on Tuesday 7 January, only a year after opening.
Despite having laudable aims, founder Catherine Conway said that when she moved the shop from Islington to Hackney in December 2012, adding a bar and restaurant into the plans had been a mistake. Catherine started the venture in Islington as a straightforward groceries shop in 2007.
The Hackney store counts popular pizzeria Lardo and new Mexican restaurant La Pinata among its Richmond Road neighbours. It will put its lease on Unpackaged up for sale, and seek another outlet elsewhere in Hackney.
Next weekend is closing down weekend, with a special "pot-luck" dinner menu on Saturday 4 January.
A statement from Catherine and the team said: "This news will certainly come as a surprise to many of you but Unpackaged Hackney is to close. Our last day of trading will be Tuesday 7th January 2013.
"When we moved from Islington to Hackney, the dream was to open a space to eat alongside the shop that would showcase the ingredients we sell and provide a place for like-minded people to meet and share ideas.
"For many reasons, the Unpackaged bar & restaurant didn't work out and proved a distraction from the core business of Unpackaged – our retail business. Now, we have been left with premises far too big for our needs and our only option is to sell the lease. Whilst this is an unfortunate turn of events – as we were just getting settled back into the area in which we started – we will use the break to work on our next step and Unpackaged will rise stronger for the experience."

Stock Trading Heading to Dark Pools to Avoid RegulationTweet
April 1, 2013
An increasing amount of stocks are being traded in private dark pools away from public scrutiny and government regulation, according to an article in The New York Times.
The portion of all stock trading taking place away from the public exchanges hit new highs over the last few weeks, amounting to close to 40 percent on several days, up from an average of 16 percent in 2008, according to Rosenblatt Securities.
Regulators have been working to increase transparency in the stock market, but the U.S. has yet to address dark trading with the same energy as some other countries.
Canada has been among the most aggressive countries in confronting dark trading, introducing rules last fall that allow trades to take place in dark pools only if brokers are getting customers a significantly better price than is available on the public exchange. Within months, dark pool trading in Canada dropped to about a third of what it was before the rule, according to Rosenblatt Securities.

Do not waste your time at Urgent Care. We took our 2 year old daughter to Urgent Care after she hurt her leg on a trampoline. They took x-rays and told her she was okay to go home. She was in extreme pain for several days after our visit and we decided to take her to our primary care physician.
Our physician told us that something was wrong and then referred us to Shriner's. The physician from Shriner's read the exact same x-rays that were taken by Urgent Care and we were told that her leg was fractured. He stated that it was extremely clear from the x-rays that it was fractured. When we contacted Urgent Care to request a refund for the poor and worthless service that we received, we were given the run around, our phone calls were not returned and we were told that their staff are not trained to read x-rays. This is complete incompetence.
If you are considering a visit to Urgent Care, don't waste your time, go directly to the emergency room where they have trained professionals.

I actually prefer Margot with the t as well but I just have this feeling that kids could be very mean with that spelling and I worry about pronunciation issues. It is good to know though that most people prefer that spelling.
Thanks for all the positive feedback. I'm surprised at how close all the names are. Although I was hoping there would be a clear cut winner to make my job easier.

-Margo: I prefer the Margot spelling as well, but I voted for Margo Vivienne. Margo Susannah would also be precious. I really feel like Margot would go the best with Roxanne and Vera.
-Sylvie: This always feels like a nickname for Sylvia to me, and I vastly prefer Sylvia.
-Maeve: It feels a little short and doesn't give me the same retro, spunky but romantic feelig I get from Roxanne and Vera.
-Celeste: This would be my second choice. It has a lovely meaning, it sounds good with Roxanne and Vera, and Celeste Rosalind is beautiful.
For what it's worth, I know two adult Margots, both spelled that way, and both love their name and have never been teased for it. Margo just looks incomplete after seeing Margot.

Sylvie Eleanor! None of the other FNs are my thing at all, sorry, but I really love Sylvie and Eleanor, and I love them together. In general, I'm one of those weird Berries that much prefers the more classic Sylvia to the trendy (in a good way!), chic, French Sylvie. But I really love Sylvie Eleanor; I think it's beautiful.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Dream Chamber inbound from Syberia developer
The latest adventure from Microïds, developer of the treasured Syberia series, is a 1930s mystery called Dream Chamber, headed to iOS, Mac and PC later this month.
Dream Chamber stars one Charlie, a presumably feckless rich heir who witnesses a robbery. As his girlfriend is the victim, he leaps into the investigation in defiance of his uncle, a detective already assigned to the case. Charlie has an advantage; he can revisit scenes in his dreams to find clues lodged in his subconscious.
A third-person adventure, Dream Chamber has players collecting and combining objects in classic adventure puzzle solving. It'll arrive on iOS, Mac and PC on October 24, and an Android version will follow "very quickly". The first screen is below.
Microïds' back catalogue includes Syberia, Dracula, Return to Mysterious Island and Amerzone. It's a division of Anuman Interactive.

White hot. Make that Bar Rafaeli hot. That's how you could describe the Dallas Mavericks offense tonight at the Garden. The Mavs beat the Celtics 99 – 90 behind Dirk Nowitzki's 37 points. Trailing 50-41 at the half, the Mavs came out of the locker room and torched the Celtics in the 3rd quarter (34-18).... [More]

'Grey Gardens'(1975) is the Maysles' brothers bizarre documentary of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis'eccentric aunt and first cousin who live like pigs in a run down 28 room mansion on East Hampton, Long Island.'Big Edie' Bouvier Beale,78,witty and dry and her daughter, 'Little Edie' Beale,56,(emotionally about 13) a still beautiful woman who once had a promising future,live in isolation from the rest of the world except for their many cats and raccoons in the attic. They amuse themselves by bickering all day, listening to the radio or singing to each other(They dont even own a television) Their fall from society is amazing to learn of and the viewer is drawn to these two very special, although obviously, dysfunctional people.One of the better documentaries ever made and still a cult classic today.
Richard Benjamin would drive anyone crazy in 'Diary of a Mad Housewife'(1970).Benjamin and wife Carrie Snodgrass are an upper- middle class New York couple, he totally absorbed with social climbing and Ms. Snodgrass bored to death with her isolated life.Director Frank Perry(David and Lisa) does an excellent job directing this sometimes funny, sometimes sad film of a materialistic, yet emotionally empty lifestyle.Script by Eleanor Perry.
'Nosferatu' (1922) was the first, and unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stokers Dracula. Noted German director F.W. Murnau was years ahead of his time with his use of location shooting, camera techniques, and speed up motion. Max Schreck as Count Orlok(Dracula)remains 80 some years later the most horrifying of all vampires and what nightmares are made of. Although not blood and guts scary by todays standards, Nosferatu still has the ability to haunt and stay with you for quite some time. Added music in recent years by 'Silent Orchestra' contributes to the films rather creepy atmosphere. Highly recommended for all serious film buffs.
Long before the PC crowd raised their ugly heads, there was Freebie and the Bean(1974), a very watchable and funny comedy about two San Francisco cops who nearly destroy the city in their pursuit of a gangster. Alan Arkin and James Caan are in top form as the constantly bickering partners who will say or do anything to get their man. Entertaining from start to finish.
'Angel Heart'(1987) Lowlife private eye Mickey Rourke is hired by a sinister looking Robert deNiro to find the whereabouts of a missing nightclub singer, which leads Rourke on a nightmarish search for not only the missing man but for the truth as well. Dark, disturbing and frightening, 'Angel Heart' was probably Rourkes last very good performance before his own bizarre life took a turn for the worse
'The Legend of Hell House'(1973)Four researchers agree to spend one week in house known to be inhabited by evil spirits and the scene of many murders in the past. This is a very different type of 'haunted house' movie with an excellent cast including Roddy McDowall and Clive Revill. Story and script by Richard Matheson.
Based upon the bizarre novel by Gunther Grass, 1979s 'The Tin Drum' is the surreal story of a 3 year old boy( played by pint-sized 12 year old David Bennett) who wills himself to stop growing in protest of the Nazis increasing power in Germany and bangs out his frustration on his drum. Controversial and disturbing to be sure, The 'Tin Drum' is filled with unforgettable scene after unforgettable scene,and deservedly won Best Foreign Film Oscar. Great small part for Charles Azvanour
'So Fine'(1981) Absolutely hysterical comedy about a college professor forced by one- syllable mobster( played perfectly by 7'2'' giant Richard Kiel)to join his manufacturer father in the garment industry and inadvertently invents see-through jeans that become a national rage. Ryan O'Neal( believe it or not) is very good as the flustered professor and the great Jack Warden as the father, all but steals the film. Non- stop laughs for 90 minutes
'David and Lisa'(1962) Director Frank Perrys film debut earned him an Oscar nomination in this independently made movie about two troubled teenagers who fall in love while being institutionalized for mental illness.Keir Dullea and the late Janet Margolin are excellent in the title roles and veteran stage actor Howard DeSilva does a nice job as the compassionate doctor. Script by Eleanor Perry
'The Graduate'(1967) One of the all-time great movies, and a landmark film of the '60's. Dustin Hoffman became a star playing a young college graduate who is seduced by his fathers business partners wife,( Anne Bancroft) then falls in love with her daughter(Katherine Ross). The directing by Oscar winner Mike Nichols is superb and Simon and Garfunkels music score is second to none. Script by Buck Henry.

Very often, you hear somebody saying that "old is gold." We think that it's not always the case, especially when it comes to games and many more. However, in this situation we can agree on that. If these new game make you boring, repetitive and something that simply can't hold your attention for too long, you should turn to older games. Perfect example of game like that is Subway Surfers- an endless runner, addictive to the max! That being said, stay tuned for our Subway Surfer Cheats which are going to help you to level up your skills as much as you can.
The core of the gameplay here is very simple. It's really just about swiping left, right, up and down- the directions your character will move. Left and right make your character move from one side of the screen to other and return to the middle. If you swipe down, your character will roll and this is for example useful for barricades and have no use for trains. If you swipe up, character will make a jump which is the only option if the train is headed right towards you. Jumping is also a possibility for overcoming barricades, and rolling is something you don't want to use when train is heading towards you, because… well… you know. Stay with us to see how you can make the most out of your movement, using our Subway Surfer Cheats. Always try to concentrate on moving fast and efficiently and jump often, because jump is 99% sure that you'll overtake an obstacle and rolling is not that efficient and always good. On top of that, your focus should be on picking up coins that can give you an edge over the other players whether it's a high score or your personal upgrades. Upgrades are mostly for the power ups and they can make your power up level to some maximum. Leveling your power ups gives you longer durability of them which is essential for longer run and even picking up more coins. We are saying that because there are power ups which are directly linked to coin pickup. These include Coin Magnet and Coin Multiplier.
Every one of these power ups are great and used in combo can produce very high coin pickup. Upgrading these two power ups should make you benefit the most, but it's really your choice depending on your play style. Coin Magnet will attract nearby coins directly to you wherever your position on the level is. This is great because you can now focus on overcoming obstacles and Coin Magnet will do its job. Coin Multiplier is working little different by multiplying your score. Score can be multiplied by 2X, 4X, 8X and 16X. This, of course, depends on the level this power up has reached during your playing and upgrading. If you think that these Subway Surfer Cheats will help you or they are already helping you, check this one out! Invest your money in Mega Headstart to largely boost your score. Mega Headstart is a power up which will make you start running from some score which has been made during fast-forward to some distance. This distance is depending on the level your Mega Headstart is.
As you can see, there are a tons of ways to play this game and you'll want to try all of them and find what suits you the best. You can focus more on high score and long run, or you can focus on building those power ups and then chasing the high score. Choice is yours. So download it now and get running!

First I'll say I haven't used each function yet, but I am very impressed overall so far. The person before me states the light level is poor, but I do not agree. The light level is what I need and I have no complaints. I think sometimes kitchens are set up in that there isn't sufficient lighting to begin with. Why would you expect a microwave light to compensate for that? When the microwave is operating it is quiet. I am impressed with the fan, quiet and appears to be strong. I was concerned about the heat coming off my gas range but so far the auto sensor fan has not come on, so now I just wait and see if it does when I have more than two of my large burners on. The interior is sleek and nice to see instead of the standard white. I spent considerable time researching what is out there to replace my GE that died after almost 11 years, and found this one had all the features and style I was looking for.

I purchased this unit from Sears for a major kitchen renovation. I bought it primarily because it had the venting capability of 400 CFM's. After installing it I was dismayed to find that the venting capability is virtually nonexistent. It was so bad that I thought the fan was improperly installed, so I pulled it off the wall to double check it. Unfortunately, it was installed properly so it appears I am now saddled with an exhaust fan that doesn't suck. If you use the front burners on the range, and you have the fan on as high as it will go, steam from the pots rises straight up and blocks your view of the microwave oven. If you use the right rear burner steam floats up and to the right and goes under the cabinets.There is NO exhausting! None, zip, nada! It is apparently just a very poor design.

Great upgrade to our 20 year old Whirlpool.
By Dusty
from Kansas City
Our old Whirlpool over the range microwave just would not die and was still going strong, even though it was looking long in the tooth and never had a turntable. However, a recent visit to the local big box store brought this great microwave into our home at a great price.We love the power (it's fast) and all of the program features. The wife finally tried the "soften butter" option and loves it. The sensor cooking makes reheating items a breeze. Plus, it looks great too!If there is a downside, it's that it makes our other appliances look old and outdated. More shopping.Oh, and it's quiet too.The only negative we have is, the manual is "spartan". We would like to have better descriptions on the various modes and how to use them. The manual mentions two level cooking, but I had to search the web to find an explanation for it.
Sleek and quiet
By Michelle
from Elgin,il
Replacing old appliances that were having issues. I researched all brands and pricing for months. Found out Whirlpool had the least amount of service calls overall. This is bigger than our previous one which was 1.7 CU. This sticks out more and comes down farther than our previous one , and thought I wouldn't like how it looked, but I love it ! . Sleek design, very quiet when on. Very easy to clean.
By Giz
from North Port, Florida
I bought this about 6 weeks ago and have no complaints. Much quieter than my old Kemore. If I had to name a con it would be the interior with the easy cleaning, it for a dark interior and not the white brightness I am use too. For the height impaired, like my wife, it seems to set lower making it easier to reach.

Strawberry Flan - Flan De Fresas
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 45 mins
This rich dessert is a variation of the traditional Spanish dessert called "Flan." Instead of vanilla, this flan is flavored with fresh strawberries.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 pint fresh ripe strawberry
- 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (14 ounce) cancan condensed milk
- 6 eggs
caramelized sugar topping
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- mint leaf, optional garnish
- 6 strawberries, sliced, optional for garnish
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put a heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- With the back of a wooden spoon, keep sugar moving constantly in skillet until sugar is completely melted, and of a rich medium brown color (caramelized).
- Pour caramelized sugar into each of six ramekins. Set aside.
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Place the strawberries, sugar, eggs and condensed milk in to a food processor or blender and blend until strawberries are minced and all ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Ladle the strawberry mixture into each ramekin. Cover each ramekin with aluminum foil.
- Place each ramekin into a large open, oven-proof pan, such as a broiler pan. Add very hot water to the pan. The ramekins should be submerged approximately 3/4 in the water. In Spanish, a "water bath" is called a "bano Maria.".
- Carefully place the pan on to the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, carefully remove each ramekin from the water, uncover and to allow to cool.
- Once cool, place in refrigerator to chill. When you are ready to serve, run a paring knife around the outside of each ramekin to loosen the flan. Then, place the serving plate on top of each one and flip it over. It may be necessary to tap the ramekin to force the flan to fall out onto the plate. Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint and a few slices of strawberry.

Sooo delicious! Made this for tonight's dessert and I can't wait to eat it. Of course, I sampled it -- I couldn't resist. I did not have enough small ramekins so I made this in one dish and cooked it longer. I love the strawberry flavor and I'm so glad that strawberries are plentiful here year round. Will definitely be making this again. Made for PRMR, April, 2013.
Delicioso y diferente...
Dessert Alert!! "Very berry" and lovely appearance. I actually have made this twice within 2 days b/c the first time I made some mistakes and learned a lot. I have posted a picture of dessert plus another of the pan with a handled grate affair that I used the second time to lift out the ramekins for the cool down-DS suggested it-adult kids are just as wonderful as ninos lindos! To me the scary part is the hot water at the end of the oven aspect. Get your water simmering for water bath when you preheat your oven. Make sure you cut the foil slightly bigger than the circumference of ramekin so that you can bend the foil down a bit so water does NOT end up inside the ramekin. Cool down the caramelized topping for at least 30 minutes other wise the brown color will "bleed in" to the custard-yucky. I also sort of wonder if the strawberries should be put in after blending the other stuff up first just so that the strawberries show up more in the dessert? This recipe actually would fill a seventh ramekin but I think it would make it all the more difficult to fit in roaster pan plus heavier yet-men come in handy for the lift out. Clean your caramelized pan and spoon later with boiling water. I also baked it longer-40 minutes. Other fruits like raspberry would be muy bueno. Gracias CaliforniaJan para compartir una receta fantastica. Made for Chow Hounds during ZWT5.
