The AJC had an excellent story this weekend about skyscrapers proposed during Atlanta's boomtimes that were ultimately placed on the backburner because of the economic collapse. Essentially, the "city that was never built."
But there's another story, one the liberal media dare not report. It wasn't just the majestic skyscrapers along Peachtree that remain unbuilt. There's an entire mini-country that remains unbuilt.
In Nov. 2007, the Atlanta Development Authority and Metro Chamber officials traveled to Europe to meet with business leaders about potential economic development opportunities. While in the Netherlands, they visited Madurodam, a miniature replica "country" that's considered "all of Holland in one small city." Much unlike Atlanta, it has functioning railways and, according to the photo above, what appear to be walkable streets.
Officials, thinking something similar might boost Atlanta's tourism, said they'd scout potential locations in or around Atlanta and deliver details later.
But we never heard anything. And to be quite honest, the children are suffering, y'all. After the jump, the baffling story of Mini-America and some details about the project.
First, meet Eric de Groot. The Dutch-born businessman is president of the Atlanta-based Holland America Chamber. In February, the Georgia General Assembly recognized him for the 25 years he's spent fostering business relations between the U.S. and his home country.
de Groot is very enthusiastic about this project. In a complete affront to democracy, he's already named himself president of this mini-country. He plans to update us, his minions, on the project's progress in a mini-State of the Union address that's yet to be scheduled.
In an email sent to the ADA on July 4, de Groot says Mini-America was set to launch a social media venture to raise awareness about the project. We're gonna skip those details and focus on the specifics about the park.
From his email:
As we celebrate America today on the Fourth of July, it gives me great pride to announce on this very day...The launch of Mini America!
What is Mini America?
Mini America is a miniature replica of The United States of America on a 1:24" (or smaller) scale.
In 2012 the Mini America Park will open its doors to the public. However, starting today (Independence Day 2009) you can join in building and shaping this most unusual state of the art theme park that incorporates Entertainment, Education and Energy.
Walk from New York to L.A. past hundreds of American landmarks, discover the beauty, opportunity and pride from sea to shining sea and explore the diversity of buildings, sites and culture that is uniquely America.
So in 2012, as long as the world doesn't end, Mini-America will open. And we all will have season passes.
If Atlanta's to serve as the museum's home, we should at least get some city landmarks included. And no, not the Big Chicken or Stone Mountain. Something more, oh, I don't know, real. In an email to CL, Christa at Pecanne Log says she thinks the project should include a replica of the Atlanta's most lawless thoroughfare:
I love model villages!!! they could build a tiny boulevard...tiny trashcans overflowing with taco bell bags...tiny memorials to the fallen with tiny filthy teddy bears stapled to tiny electrical poles...tiny Rascals scurrying across four lanes of traffic with their tiny oxygen tanks strapped to the back...
Let's hope they do, Christa. Personally, I'd like to see a tiny Cheshire Bridge Road, complete with hot-pink sinner shops, a la that wacky scene in Beetlejuice where the poltergeist played by Michael Keaton was drunk and lounging with harlots trapped in Purgatory.
The point man at ADA for the project is out, so we won't get any concrete answers until he returns. We're waiting on another ADA staffer to update us on the details. Until then, we encourage speculation and wondering aloud about this Mini-America, an ambitious endeavor on par with the Beltline, a bold new vision that will catapult Atlanta into greatness.

Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.
Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.
Remove the iOpener from the microwave, holding it by one of the two flat ends to avoid the hot center.
Lay the iOpener over the plastic tab to loosen the adhesive. Let the bag sit on the device for approximately 90 seconds before attempting to open the panel.
Use a plastic opening tool to pull the rear plastic cover away from the device until there is enough room to insert a spudger.
Insert a spudger under the cover, then pry it up and away from the device.
Remove the rear plastic cover from the iPod.
Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the white plastic front panel and the rear case.
Slide the opening tool along the edge of the front panel to free it from clips and adhesive.
Use a metal spudger to carefully pry near the Lightning connector and under all parts of the front panel assembly: the front glass/digitizer, the LCD display and the metal midframe.
Continue prying along the edges under the front panel assembly, releasing the clips and adhesive along the sides of the device.
Remove the two 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screws from the sleep/power button bracket.
Insert a plastic opening tool under the sleep/power button, and gently pry upwards to free it from its adhesive.
Slide the plastic opening tool along the underside of the sleep/power button ribbon cable.
Remove the three 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the volume control button assembly to the rear case.
Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry the volume control button assembly away from the edge of the case.
Use a spudger to pry the headphone jack off of the adhesive holding it to the rear case.
Use the flat end of a spudger to push the logic board away from the edges of the rear case to free the Lightning connector.
Once the Lightning connector has been loosened, push gently between it and the case to further free it.

Fixing the headphone jack is super hard. I've been working on mine for a few months. And Basically I ordered the part on ebay (headphone jack, the power button is attached) and I pulled it apart, opened the ipod and swapped everything out (pay close attention to where pieces go cause there's no YouTube videos on how to do it yet) but there is a small piece attached to the ribbon cable near the headphone jack (it's square shaped, with looks like little grid thing, not sure the name) and it has to be perfectly lined up and contacts have to be touching for the power button, volume controls, an headphone jack to work. And that's where I'm stuck cause you can't use adhesive or it will block the contact points. So if you can find someone to replace your ipod parts it will be much easier.
I'm sorry, but I started laughing uncontrollably at this point! It's like something out of a Conan or Fallon sketch for the all but non sequitur of microwave use, but it's clearly what needs to be done for the glue. I came from a 2007 MBP, and personally replaced the battery multiple times (one step). I was curious about how it was done with my new 2014 model. 32 steps might as well be a punch line...
Never get a job in IT support... I kid you not, earlier I had to instruct someone on how to plug the power jack into their laptop.....
A hairdryer works well - hot to the touch is enough to soften the glue to allow it to come off.
Gavin -
They do not use glue to attach the glass. It is very strong double sided 3M tape.
Odus182 -
a hair dryer might not be enough. If the temp is too low, the screen will crack on disassembely.
I use a heat gun now to loosen the adhesive. I wouldnt try to remove a screen unless the section was over 135 F ( I use a laser/non contact thermometer now).
I've only done one, but that was the lesson I learned the hard way watching the glass break.
If I can't find the new screen how would I fix it. Where can I find the brand new screen.
There are screen replacements on eBay but it appears that you can only buy the digitizer glass. Is it difficult to separate the glass from the LCD screen? Some apple products are rather difficult while others already come separate.
No, super easy, the LCD and glass are actually not adhered to each other, the glass sits in the moulding about 1 or 2 cm above the LCD.
Brice -
Hi. I need the same. Did you solve it? I find the spare parts: the external crystal and the glue (adhesive stick) but I have some doubts: How separate brocken cristal from usable lcd and how Stick the new crystal with lcd.
Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No. But putting it back together is the really tricky part. I found a German video that goes into it. You don't need to understand German to see what's involved here:
Pete -
for the screen, there's a place in Huntsville Alabama called LCDcycle. they have grade a parts
Could some one help me please im changing the wifi antenna on my ipad air an don't knoew how to activate the glue on the growding strip. I would think it heat. any ideas thank you.
I don't own a microwave... Is there an alternative way you can recommend heating up the iOpener?
Yes, buy a microwave. They cost about the same as an iOpener!!
I use a heat gun and work fine for me.
Danilo -
I used my toaster oven, set it to 200. I tried lower temps but wasn't able to separate the glass from the frame.
Pete -
My rear glass is broken what will be the price of thr rear glass..???can i order it from ifixit suggest me some thing.....!!!!i m from india....help me out plz...!!!
Any rear glass for any phone is cheap. They generally cost around $5-$20 to get the part depending on which phone. For this one it doesn't cost much at all.
Ben -
Always isolate the battery before removing the LCD, and don't reconnect the battery till the LCD is back in place.
You can screw up a few different things by inadvertently turning on a device while the LCD is disconnected.
Also, skip the neck warmer/microwave, get a hot plate or hair drier/heat gun and be careful. (I use a duel sensor digital temp hot plate)
May I know the temperate limit about heating iOpener? (maximum 150 degrees Celsius?) thx so much.
This repair isn't possible as far as I know. I have done three glass only repairs now with the same results. After professionally separating the glass and LCD, then re-attaching the AMOLED screen to the NEW digitizer/glass assembly with OCA tape the touch would no longer work... strange since I tried a new digitizer on each Apple Watch I was repairing. I started looking a little closer to the broken digitizer and I removed the silver chip cover to reveal the touch/digitizer controller IC. This extremely small BGA chip is epoxied directly to the flex cable, so removing the chip is a one time thing as you can't remove epoxy chemically after it cures. Each touch/digitizer controller IC is INDIVIDUALLY MARKED with a number, for example #1510. I believe each touch IC is LINKED to each Apple Watch, but it is possible that each IC is linked only to the LCD screen. I can not confirm that is the case because I do not have access to a full LCD/digi/glass to try replacing on a broken apple watch.
I have same problem as Don...touch doesn't work after changing
romnaum -
Any update about the touch not working after replacing the screen?
The repair is possible but it is a hard one. I just finished it (again). Use ALOT of heat to remove the glass. Take your time not to break the LCD. Separate all the parts before the removing the battery. The repair is hard, not impossible.
mattost -
Hi. Do you suggest to change both part to avoid that? I mean, I have only the external part broke and I think to buy only that, but after reading your comment, I realize that maybe is better to change both of screen+LCD at once. It is right?
How can you reprogram the watch to accept a new digitizer? Is there a way?
Key is to check if the ribbon cable of the digitizer is put in properly. I had the same problem. The first attempt failed because I hadn't pulled the ribbon cable deep enough into the connector. Make sure that all of the silverish parts go into the connector. But please be extremely careful with that!
jochen -
Can anyone verify that the part sold on ifixits website will work? I bought a digitizer/glass only from eBay and no touch response from it. Other people here are claiming the IC chip is programmed to either the watch CPU or the amoled itself.
Here is the part on ifixits website:
Dont buy it from ifixit. Nothing wrong with ifixit though. The glass and LCD is infused together. You will not be able to separate the broken glass from the LCD. Do whatever, heat, more heat, dance or any other stunt it doesnt come off. Even if it comes off i don't think just by putting in another digitizer it will start working as it will not be infused with LCD. so net net. the video is good and stylish but it doesnt work.
I already separated it successfully and have all the tools to reassemble professionally including OCA and a autoclave.
greg -
Did you had difficult to separate the parts? I bought a screen on Ebay before read iFixit, :(
deivier5 -
Just put mine together and tested it; working great.
So I followed the steps and it all seemed easy. When I tried to turn it on the blue light just pulsed, and the screen stayed black. I did a full charge and tried a power+volume down, which did turn it off, but when I turn it on I still only get blue pulsing light with a black screen. Any ideas? Not sure if its a bad battery, or if I could have messed something else up? Thanks in advance for the help.
This step is extremely difficult to do... How am I supposed to manage to lift the frame with the LCD screen without potentially causing damage to the LCD screen?
Disconnecting the battery from the lcd screen can ruin the battery,
so why do that if you are just replacing the digitizer?
rather just open the six screws and disconnect the digitizer.

Super Bowl Sunday is synonymous with parties, but for many New England Patriots players there are no celebrations planned this year.
"It's hard for me to watch it," veteran running back Sammy Morris said. "I'll watch it, but I won't go anywhere."
Morris' thoughts are echoed by several of his teammates. One day after the Super Bowl XLIV matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints was finalized, quarterback Tom Brady was asked his thoughts on the game.
"Can they both lose? Is that possible?" he responded.
For players across the NFL who invest a great deal only to fall short -- from participation in the offseason program to sweaty summer training camp practices and a grueling 16-game season -- watching the Super Bowl can be bittersweet.
At the same time, a handful of Patriots players spoke with respect about what the Colts and Saints accomplished this season. Brady called them the best teams over the course of the year, noting they've earned their spot in the Super Bowl. The Patriots faced both on the road and lost both games.
As for what type of game might unfold in Super Bowl XLIV, the common theme seemed to be that the scoreboard operator should be ready to get a workout.
"My initial reaction on the game is that I would assume there will be a lot of points scored," Morris said. "It's not to take anything away from both defenses, but both offenses are highly potent and have done it all year. I think it's going to be a high-scoring game."
"There are other teams that are good out there, but these two deserve to be there," added kicker Stephen Gostkowski. "I'm from the South and everyone down there roots for the Saints. We play the Colts every year, so I guess if I'm leaning anywhere, I'd lean toward them. I have a hard time picking against Peyton Manning. I think the Colts will win, but I guess it would be nice to see a team that has never won it win it, kind of like the Patriots did in 2001."
Veteran defensive lineman Jarvis Green, who is from Donaldsonville, La., knows what a Saints win would mean to that community.
"The Saints now have their chance, and it's great for the city; this will help out a lot. The way they performed, it affects the city and how they live," he said. "Then you have the Colts, a great team playing great football, with a city boy -- Manning -- leading the way. So you can see why it's very emotional for the city. I don't have any picks on who wins, but I'll be down there."
Gostkowski, meanwhile, plans to watch the game at home in Massachusetts.
"I'm not going to be rooting for anyone, really," he said. "I'll just watch the game, and hopefully there will be some funny commercials on. It's one of those things where you wish you were there."
When analyzing the game, Morris pointed out the Saints' blitzing style as something that defines them.
"They are a little more blitz-oriented than Indianapolis," he said. "One of the things they do is that they'll blitz one guy and if the [running] back stays in to block, they'll take the other guy who is supposed to cover the back and bring him as well. A lot of teams do it; they sit back and wait to see what the back does. The Saints do that a big percentage of the time."
Because Colts quarterback Peyton Manning often gets rid of the ball so quickly, one wonders how effective the Saints can be with that strategy. Some teams call that defensive approach a "key blitz," "green dog" or "hug."
Meanwhile, one of the big questions for the Colts will be how effective defensive end Dwight Freeney is while attempting to play through a severe ankle injury (torn ligaments).
"Whether he's 75 percent, 80 percent, you absolutely have to account for him," Morris said. "He's a disruptive player who plays with great leverage, a tough guy with great speed who is difficult to block. You look at him and the easiest way to see his skills is by sacks, but he also disrupts the run game as well."

Excitedly looked forward to the receipt of the above toaster combo...it would have been perfect for my needs...I spend a lot of time at night not sleeping and the combo would have kept me out of the kitchen making noise that would wake others in the house.
So I was extremely disappointed when I opened the package, set up the toaster and decided to make the first little pot of coffee. However, as I poured the water into the resevoir it came out of it running all over the counter. My daughter checked it out and found a tiny pin hole in the bottom of the resevoir rendering the unit defective and unusable.
I lost confidence in the unit and the maker and returned the unit to Walmart who accepted it without any problem...sadly I didn't want to take a chance on a replacement.
Walmart's return service is excellent. Just wish the product had been.
Great to have when have a small space

Nice country side hotel. Great charm and location.
pleasant, convenient but tired
Extra helpfull staff.
The hotel had everything we needed. Very friendly but buzzy too. Location was great but wld have been better if not on busy road. Having said that, the room was quiet. Would most definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our first stay at The Great House, which will not be our last stay as we intend to visit again as soon as we can find an excuse to. A most comfortable stay with a more than adequate breakfast served in a great dinning room with views out over the garden and river.

Comment Of course it is. (Score 1) 765
Well, it does depend a little on circumstances, and it's not without its consequences. You should generally avoid burning any bridges you don't have to, and it's not just the company's attitude to you that you need to worry about; other employees might remember you as that guy who up and left unexpectedly which made life difficult for everyone. Which can bite you in the arse a year or two down the line when they're a different company you're applying at and might have a say in hiring.
But if the company's treating you badly, or conditions are unnecessarily dangerous? You are justified in just leaving without notice, and such things are a secondary concern. And if things are bad enough, said hypothetical other employee may remember you as the guy who had the sense to just get out ASAP.
Phyllis Hartman says employees have a responsibility to try to communicate about what's wrong. "Start figuring out if there is anything you can do to fix it. The worst that can happen is that nobody listens or they tell you no."
No, that is not the worst that can happen by a longshot. The worse things will generally run afoul of workplace bullying laws, but that's small comfort.

It may be a shock to many people who never thought Marques Houston would end up being a serious R&B singer. But with songs like the title track "Naked" and "Sex With You," he doesn't come off as some kid star purporting to be some sex symbol. Marques continues the smooth talking with no problem on the songs "Everything" and "Do You Mind." He has even refined his "club" sound to more agreeable tunes like "I Wasn't Ready" with a surprisingly decent verse from Rufus Blaq, a blast from the past that went virtually unknown in the mid nineties. Another carefree song is the debut single "All Because Of You" featuring Immature/IMX alum Young Rome (better known as Romeo).
There are some minor missteps like "12 O'Clock" featuring the long-forgotten rapper Joe Budden, the "immature" sounding "I Like It" featuring RaRa & Dame, and the weird suggestions given on the song "Marriage.Read more ›
1-All because of you-8\10- this one has a GREAT beat by the corna boys but the lyrics just dont really follow and match the beat...his first single off the album is a dud...i hadnt EVER heard of it before i bought this cd.
2-sex wit you- 15/10- this one is NOT for the kids but it is one of those uptempo slow songs that flow REALLY REALLY well..this is definately my favorite off this album. The beat on this matches the lyrics this time.
3-marraige-7/10- this is not really my type of song...he sings well...but the chorus is REALLY kinda lame..and that kinda kills the song for me...the verses are good though.
4- 12 O'Clock-10/10-I love this song..its a great uptempo beat and just overall really good..he REALLY REALLY sounds like AKON in this song..they sound exactly the same..Read more ›
The 23 year old from California surpasses his previous endeavors with group Imx by growing vocally and lyrically. The album "Naked" is truly a confessional journey of a boy becoming a man within a relationship. With the first single off the album "All Because of You" maintaining a position within Billboards top 30 for weeks now, the lets make it right anthem has undeniable street credibility. The second single has already made a rave impression on fans and skeptics at [...] where the video for "Naked" shows the star actually naked in a flash back D'Angelo `how does it feel kind of way.'
The new single and video happen to be hot and definitely sexy so much so that B.E.T banned the video! Mr. Houston has finally laid a foundation for his audience to know that he is grown and sexual. Such songs as "Sex With You," "Do You Mind", and "I Like It" will help set the mood with your partner but beware because these songs are quality baby making material. "Marriage and "Cheat" actually show the male point of view on problematic relationships with a catchy ass beat as a heated bonus. All of those that thought "Naked" was titled that just for publicity reasons are completely wrong. Mr. Houston strips down to bear his honest sexual soul and reveals his inner problems and feelings about relationships. His vocal ability on this album is phenomenal except for the beginning of the second single Naked. Yet the album is worthy of the repeat button. I give "Naked" 3 ½ out of 4. This is definitely something you need to pick up as soon as possible!
Literally Yours, (Like Literature...think Deep)

Ales Hemsky gets 2-year extension
Updated: February 25, 2012, 7:51 PM ETAssociated Press
EDMONTON, Alberta -- Ales Hemsky won't be testing the NHL's free-agent waters.
The Edmonton Oilers signed the forward to a two-year extension worth $10 million, on Friday night, keeping him in the fold through 2013-14.
With Hemsky set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, he was considered a prime candidate to be moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Instead, he'll remain with the only NHL organization he's ever played for.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Point guard Darren Collison is day to day as the Indiana Pacers prepare for Game 3 of their playoffs series with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, and coach Frank Vogel says he is preparing to play without him.
Collison, however, was optimistic following the Pacers' video session at Conseco Fieldhouse on Tuesday. The left ankle sprain he suffered in the second quarter of Monday's game at the United Center remained a concern, but didn't leave him without hope.
"I'm a little optimistic," Collison said. "It's getting better as times goes on.
Collison said the sprain, suffered after driving to the basket for a layup and falling into a cameraman, was a reinjury of a sprain suffered during practice in November that forced him to miss three games. It's been an issue throughout the season, but one he hopes to deal with the rest of the playoff series.
Second-year guard A.J. Price, a second-round draft pick in 2010, will get most of the minutes Collison leaves behind. He averaged 6.5 points in 50 games during the regular season but has averaged 10.5 points in the two games of this playoff series. Veteran T.J. Ford, who played just 41 games during the regular season, will be dusted off and used if Collison is limited. Ford averaged just 5.4 points during the regular season, but scored five points in nine minutes on Monday.
Ford, a former lottery pick, fell out of favor with former Pacers coach Jim O'Brien, and was left on the inactive list later in the season while the Pacers took a look at rookie point guard Lance Stephenson. Vogel said Ford should be able to step in despite his lack of recent playing time.
"The timeouts are longer in the playoffs; he'll get blows during timeouts," Vogel said. "We're not going to be asking him to play starter's minutes, so we're going to be fine."
Pacers want sea of blue: The last time the Pacers played the Bulls in Indianapolis, the capacity crowd at Conseco Fieldhouse included several thousand Bulls fans.
Vogel hopes his team's fan base can get the red out on Thursday.
"We need to fill the building with blue and gold," he said. "When we played them here during the regular season there were an awful lot of red shirts. We're going to have metal detectors up there not only to see if they're bringing metal into the building, but also to make sure they're not wearing red, either."

The shocking truth is waiting to be discovered... if you dare.

The River is basically 'Lost' meets 'The Blair Witch Project' with a dash of 'Paranormal Activity' thrown in. If shaky handheld footage makes you nauseous you might want to skip this one altogether. But if you're a fan of the "found footage" genre there are definitely a few scares in the pilot and subsequent episodes of the series. Unfortunately, the show begins to veer into too many directions as it progresses and it soon becomes apparent that every episode is going to offer up a different supernatural element that will be resolved by the end of that episode. This leads to a sort of predictability that takes the scare factor down quite a few notches.
For viewers wondering if it's worth the time investing in the series' first (and only) season, you can rest assured that the series comes to a close with a somewhat satisfying resolution. Although there is a cliffhanger in the final episode, it's the type of twist that most horror fans will be accustomed to as many horror flicks over the years have ended with similar sorts of open-ended nonsense.
The River arrives on DVD in a 2-disc set with solid video & audio and a handful of special features.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The idea behind "The River" is a good one. Bruce Greenwood plays a popular TV naturist who disappears while on an expedition in the Brazilian wilds. He and his crew are presumed dead. His wife (Leslie Hope) and estranged son (Joe Anderson) put together another documentary crew in an effort to find, and hopefully rescue, the missing men. Trying to piece together what happened through found footage, this new team faces increasingly strange and deadly obstacles the deeper they go. And it becomes abundantly clear that this voyage will have a body count as they seem to be pursuing a location known ominously as the Source. Will it hold the answers they desire? Is Greenwood alive? And will all the random horror elements be pulled together to make sense within a greater plot overview?
The Good:
Setting: For me, the best thing about "The River" is its unusual premise. ABC was so quick to try to brand this the next "Lost" that it overlooked that the two shows have very little common ground. The unexplored jungles and the claustrophobic confines of the river boat lend an unusual backdrop to the unfolding drama. Also, it just looks great.
Style: While the found footage genre has been a bit overworked since the "Blair Witch Project" confirmed its commercial viability, it is effective and different to see it employed in series television. As the horrors are unraveled through quick and random camera shots (either through the crew cameramen or through stationary cameras on the ship), the quick glimpses of danger can make things quite unsettling.
The Bad:
Poor Research: For a show that takes place in Brazil, someone might have noted that they speak Portuguese there as opposed to Spanish. Conveniently, everyone they meet on this jungle excursion into Brazil speaks English or Spanish so don't worry about language barriers!
Ambient Sound: When strange things are happening, the program ramps up the sound effects and music to overwhelming proportions. Call me crazy, but I'd rather the dialogue was louder than the lapping of waves while characters in the river are conversing.
The Indifferent:
Rushed Beginning: The show takes but a few minutes to establish the characters before setting them adrift. It takes a while before we know anyone, much less care about them, and this lessens the impact of the earlier episodes. Stick around, though, things get better.
Horrors: The show aims for creepy more than scary, and that it achieves. Network TV is not a great place for in-your-face monstrosities, and within those limitations, the format does a good job providing some jolts. But our crew experiences such a diverse collection of nightmares, it seems like the creators just wanted to throw everything but the kitchen sink at us and see what stuck. Monsters, possessions, spirits, curses, natives: the mysterious and mystical horrors encompass just about everything you can think of. It's almost too much. And, of course, the mechanic's daughter is the requisite character that seems to know ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about these supernatural occurrences so that they can be "logically" explained to the TV audience.
Hit or Miss Ending: The 7th episode explains Greenwood's fate, but raises more questions than it answers. The screenplay and the characters are content to let most things go down without much contemplation. I did, however, like the finale's (8th episode) turn of events before the take-it-or-leave-it final scene.
I know people that both love "The River" and hate it. I can fully understand either position. But taken for what it is, it provides something different on television and that is an invaluable commodity in the land of cookie-cutter TV. At eight episodes, it isn't a huge time commitment and I was pleased enough to go along for the ride. I don't know that ten years from now that I'll be remembering the show as a classic, but for the moment--it was something that I enjoyed and would recommend for the right audience. About 3 1/2 stars. KGHarris, 3/12.
Produced by Orin Peli and Steven Spielberg, The River is a terrifying and imaginative drama that goes outside the box. With the recent hits of the "found-footage" sub-genre in horror, ABC brought in a TV show with the same formula of filming, but with a cast, plot and visuals that are delivered spectacularly. Joe Anderson was great as Lincoln Cole, the son of Emmett, but it was Thomas Kretschmann who stole the show as Kurt, the mysterious bodyguard who protects the crew as they traverse the Boiuna. Sadly, for some stupidly annoying reason, the network decided to can the series (like a lot of phenomenal shows including Firefly, Daybreak, and Invasion). With a season of only 8 episodes, the writers were able to create something extraordinary, but leave a great many questions unanswered as the show was canceled. Like Lost, The River takes us to a place we know nothing about, and the rules of reality are broken. This show isn't for everyone, but anyone who appreciates thrillers, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy and supernatural dramas, this show is perfect. Hopefully, someone gets a campaign started to bring the show back for one more season because there is still plenty of room to answer and bring to light questions and answers. Kickstarter right now is doing well with bringing back TV shows, so let's get The River back for at least one more season of 13-14 episodes.
With the first episode throwing you into the story, it's hard to warm up to the series, but by episode 3 I was hooked.
The characters, though some may call cliche, all had their own unique personality and added different dimensions to the story.
What really sold me on the series is the "mockumentary-style" that it is shot. I eat this stuff up so badly. With movies like Cloverfield and Quarantine being two of my all-time horror favourites, this was a complete treat for me.
At times the work seems derivative of others. One episode seems inspired by Quarantine and 28 Days Later, another seems inspired by the Exorcist, another inspired by the Blair Witch Project. For me, it was not bothersome. The River still felt entirely original whether or not I could see other movie references and inspiration within it.
If you're a fan of horror and suspense or even of the "mockumentary-style", definitely check out this television series.
I wish they would continue with the series and make a second season, but something tells me that is not going to happen.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if it is, you will definitely want to refill your cup over and over again with The River.

Not for front loaders
By Seattle runner
from Seattle
describe yourself Homeowner
See all my reviews
Comments about The Laundress Sport Detergent, 16 fl oz:
As another reviewer described, this concentrated liquid is quite viscous. My front loader uses water to deliver detergent to the washtub to launder the clothes. This substance is too thick for water to even make it budge. The soap remained in the dispenser after the full cycle. I recommend Caldrea sport wash, also available at drugstore.com. It smells fresh, and it gets out sports odors. The Caldrea is more dilute, so you use 60 ml per load instead of 30ml, so it's an equivalent cost.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love it for my Lulu!
By cosmetic junkie
from New York, NY
describe yourself Professional
This stuff works wonderfully for hand washing synthetic activewear. I can tell it is deep cleaning my clothes with very little effort on my part. I just add a few drops to my laundry bucket and let my clothes soak for a bit, and everything rinses wonderfully while maintaining its color and shape. This stuff is also perfect because it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

GREAT for hockey equipment!!!
By Aimers
from Ft Wayne Indiana

My husband plays hockey AND brings home his entire teams jerseys for me to launder...with this stuff its EASY!!! You never know if someone (even hockey players)are gonna have a reaction to anything TOO harsh so I'm careful of what I use. This stuff gets the jerseys fresh and clean which is PRETTY amazing!!! Because its so thick ot has lasted through 3 seasons (almost 1 1/2 years)...so while it IS pricey...its well worth the money...NOTHING has left the team jerseys so clean!!! DEFINATELY recommend it...if you are sick of the stink!!!
Effective Product
By sue1955
from Frederick, MD
I use this on a regular basis for underwear and synthetics.. I really like the scent. It removes perspiration and leaves your things smelling nice. I just wish that The Laundress products were packaged differently. I now have an HE clothes washer. With it, you cannot run water into the machine at the same time that you have to add your detergent. This leaves you with a gloppy container in which to try to measure the detergent. I've started just pouring the detergent directly into the washer from the bottle in the amount that looks to be what is required.

Have these people ever done laundry?!
By YC
First of all, the detergent comes in a shampoo-like bottle ... with no measuring cup. The recommended amount for one load is 1/8 cup or 30 ml. Exactly who has a measuring cup for 1/8 of a cup?! I ended up using the cap for a bottle of Nyquil which is marked off in 10, 20 and 30 ml amounts (although hopefully I won't end up chugging sport detergent the next time I get a cold). You could, in theory, simply squeeze the detergent into the machine, but the point of using concentrated detergent and High Efficiency machines is that you *don't* overuse the detergent, right?Second, the detergent is extremely viscous (I assume because it's concentrated) and similar to shampoo in consistency. Now this is fine if you're rubbing the substance with your hands into your hair. However, if you're squirting it into a measuring cup (or Nyquil cup, as the case was), it becomes impossible to pour into the machine without making a mess of everything and wasting some very expensive detergent in the process.Third, the detergent is quite heavily perfumed, unlike all the other sport washes I've tried. It's not altogether an unpleasant scent, but generally for my workout clothes I prefer to simply get the odor out rather than adding anything in.Never again -- next time I'm going back to Double Clean / Penguin / Win which get the odor out of my training gear and are actually easy to use.
Love this product!
By Nutrtion Master
from North Babylon, NY
This product gently cleans my fitness apparel leaving my clothes soft and smelling unbelievably fresh. I'm so happy The Laundress developed this product.
Always pre-treat soiled areas with The Laundress Stain Solution or Wash & Stain Bar. We recommend washing cotton & spandex inside out with hot water. Hang dry in order to avoid shrinkage, damage to elasticity and color fading from the dryer.

Fat Princess latency issues are occurring with the game, and Sony is aware of the problem and working on a solution.
"We are aware that some customers are experiencing connection issues and are working to address this asap," a company spokesperson told G4. "If there are lag issues during a game, there will be a snail image in the lower left corner.
"It is advised that if this snail appears for more than 30 seconds, the player should try another game."
No word on when the lag will be fixed, so in the meantime just hang tight.

US Presses Pakistan to Escalate War
Success of Afghan War 'Depends' on Pakistan
According to an unnamed US official, President Obama has sent a letter to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari urging him to rally support for escalating his war across the nation. The letter reportedly claims that the Afghan war 'depends' on Pakistan doing so.
The US has been pressuring Pakistan, basically since the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, to launch an ever escalating series of invasions into its tribal areas along the Afghan border.
This year's massive war in the Swat Valley, which drove millions of civilians from their homes, was in no small measure the result of US condemnations of a peace treaty until Pakistan finally abandoned it and sent the military in.
And even as that offensive was going on through the summer, the US was pressuring Pakistan to invade South Waziristan, which they finally did last month. Now it seems the US has its eye on getting Pakistan into even more wars.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi insists that the nation will never be pressured into launching an operation by outsiders. But after his government has been quite successfully and repeatedly pressured by the US into doing exactly that, their ability to resist American pressure to start wars is very much in doubt.

Leon R. Kass is a Professor in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and Hertog Fellow in Social Thought at the American Enterprise Institute. Among his books are "Toward a more natural Science: Biology and Human Affairs;" The Hungry Soul;" The Ethics of Human Cloning (with James Q. Wilson);" and "Wing to wing, Oar to Oar: Readings on Courting and Marrying" (with Amy A. Kass). In 2001, President Bush Appointed Dr. Kass to chair the new President's Council on Bioethics.
Life Liberty & the Defense of Dignity: The Challenge for Bioethicsby Leon Kass
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
At the onset of Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity, Leon Kass gives us a status report on where we stand today: "Human nature itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for eugenic and psychic 'enhancement,' for wholesale redesign. In leading laboratories, academic and industrial, new creators are confidently amassing their powers and quietly honing their skills. For anyone who cares about preserving our humanity, the time has come for paying attention." Trained as a medical doctor and biochemist, Dr. Kass has become one of our most provocative thinkers on bioethical issues. In Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity, he has written a book that grapples with the moral meaning of the new biomedical technologies now threatening to take us back to the future envisioned by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World. In a series of mediations on cloning, embryo research, the sale of organs, and the assault on mortality itself, Kass questions the wisdom of trying to break down the natural boundaries given us and to remake the human body into an instrument of our will. He also attempts to chart a course by which we might avoid the dehumanization of biotechnical "recreationism" without rejecting modern science or rejecting its genuine contributions to human welfare. Leon Kass writes profoundly about the limits of science and the limits of life, about what makes us human and gives us human dignity. Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity.

Love this song. Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy (2004).
A review of my shorthand because it's important here.
The first arrow-in-the-box [-->] indicates that the notes following up until the empty box [ ] will be repeated on the second and subsequent arrows-in-the-box [-->]. Then you return
(I have indented the returns).
In this song, only the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lines of the chorus are repeated because line 4 of the chorus changes after the 1st time it is played. So, twice, you return to the 4th line of the chorus at different points in the song. Here's a graphic representation: http://pica ... (more)
