*sigh*...this has been bugging me for a while...but if there's one thing I noticed with Answerfans lately is...well...walls of text.
Every single godamn email is some uptight, uber grammatically efficient essay suitable to use as a college entrance paper.
How I miss thee days when we read replies composed of just 2-3 sentences, perfectly valid, and quite humorous at that...

|A Death Note videogame where you could be Light and try to create the new world, or L and try to catch Kira. That could be cool.

Or a game where you can be Lupin 3rd, and Spike and Motoko have to hunt you down.
Or maybe even Spike trying to catch Vash; that would be fun.

Well I've always liked the answerman column so a new perspective is nice.
I'm going to have to write down my game idea hmmm, fusion sounds good.

I think an anime-themed Sim City-type or Civilization-type development game, which heavily exploits common genre tropes and has hidden characters from a number of different series, would be a vastly amusing concept. Of course, you'd have to have both mecha and non-mecha versions.
A mecha-themed or super-powered-teen-themed redefinition of the classic monster arcade game Rampage might also be amusing.

Maybe from Japanese tourists, but that's about it.
No it's not, since the J-rockers don't have any presence here, so they take a pay-cut and use the whole thing as a chance to sell an international album. Ami and Yumi are as big as they're gonna get right now. Otherwise, there's no chance in hell any con could afford these bands if they were as big in the States as they are in Japan.
Companies can't even license the rights to their music for certain shows; so why would it be any easier for a concert venue? Hell, considering how many people complain about the prices of American CDs, how many people do you really see paying the double the cost for the overseas stuff?
But those cons don't make a profit; if they did, they would actually do a better job of dealing with over-crowding, instead of cutting corners at the expense of the attendees. These concerts are just an excuse to pay off "rising operation costs" most of the time.

The new banners are super cool!! I love how the ANN circle-logo-thing is integrated into it, and the more cartoony-style for the Answerfans is perfect. Awesome work, Phillip!
Nice column, too. I especially liked the first answer, about creative output. Of course there are artists and writers who team up to make something (manga, webcomics, illustrated books, movies, etc...), but it's important to explore your own ideas and abilities too. And keep working on it! Create because you love it, not because you want to be rich and famous (starving artists and all that, right?)

|I agree with Brian on the cons. During AX 2007 at Long Beach a group that was in the next door motel room where I was staying had parties going on, and the guys I was staying with also made friends with a stoner while they were there. Then one of my roommates drank too much and got kicked out of the hotel where the arcade was at. AND they called the police on him so we had to get him out of there as soon as possible so that he wouldn't get arrested.

|I feel exactly the same way as the first response to the question. I'll always be a "closet" anime nerd, because smelling bad, dressing like my clothes have been lying on the floor, and wearing worn out kitty ears to college doesn't appeal to me. I don't get it.

I think Brian is right that Ranma probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. It's also true that because the demographic watching anime was wrong from the advertisers view, Adult Swim basically said, "Thanks for watching, but we don't value you that much." Which is extremely irksome when I'm in they're beloved 18-34 male demographic. On another note, I don't really mind going to a small con that only gets American guests and typically the same ones. Sure I'd like a bit of variety or the occasional big name, but it's nice seeing the same people too, especially if one of them happens to be Carrie Savage.
As far as games go, while I think the concept of a Hellsing game has potential, there is also the notion that Alucard would pretty much take the challenge out of most situations. "Oh no, I'm taking a lot of damage. Oh wait, it doesn't matter because I'm Alucard."

Yay Brian, on the first response. What you said is basically the summary of every "how to become a writer" book I've ever read. Forget about creating something so awesome that Noah Webster comes back from the dead to personally change the definition of "awesome" to your name. Just write and enjoy doing it.

I may be misconstruing, but what they don't have use for is the 12-17 demo, not yours. Besides, Ranma 1/2 is not their type of show anyways, despite many viewers' calls for it early in AS' life. It's not enough of a hardcore action they want, nor the teenage-crush situational --and as Viz (in)famously put it-- sex comedy as the type their AS comedy viewers like.
And it is a slow starter (as notoriously were long series of its era, for various reasons), even almost got cancelled after the first season. And this coming from someone, as mentioned here before, whose Ranma 1/2 videos hooked an anime-oblivious dormhall (yeah, the same demographics AS covets, but they walked in during mid-season and tracked back only much later). So it wouldn't have worked out.

Hmm, I don't really have any ideas for video games. The only stuff that comes to mind is based solely around a game play not even related to whatever anime I used.
So? Aren't ya going to give us the link? Or are you going to let this opportunity to shamelessly self promote pass you by?

Organized soil conservation in Iceland began in 1907, as a response to severe land degradation and desertification that was threatening the existence of several communities. During the first 75 years, many of the most threatening areas of accelerated soil erosion were fenced and seeded with sand stabilizers. These projects had a high success rate, halting the advancement of sand dunes and other forms of highly accelerated erosion. However, they were limited in scope, and often concentrated on the symptoms of the problems rather than the underlying causes, such as improper grazing management. On a national scale, not enough was being achieved in mitigating the extensive ecosystem degradation. This period of soil conservation in Iceland was characterized by single-issue, top-down approaches, a lack of appropriate incentives for soil conservation and weak laws for protection of the rangelands. During the last two decades there has been a gradual shift to more participatory strategies, community involvement, and ecosystem management for multiple benefits. These changes have greatly increased community involvement in projects, stimulated conservation awareness and improved land use. The ties between agricultural policy and soil-conservation issues are also being strengthened, especially by linking part of governmental subsidies for sheep production to land-use factors.

Custom project board in progress...
April 23, 2009
Hi, I have a spare PICAXE 28x1 and L293D that I want to use for my first custom built circuit. But i have no clue what to do!!! The diagrams on the Picaxe website are so confusing and the ones in the manuals only show the pinouts. Can I just hook up 4.5 volts? Or do I need fancy shmancy support circuitry like capacitors and stuff?
Thanks guys!
I have a diagram of the L293D and it is nice to have, but very confusing.
I need somebody who is experienced enough at reading these things. See, my problem is what the pin labels mean. I have another diagram for that...
... but it is not very helpful either.
My problem is:
Which wire do I connect to all of these? Battery negative to Vs??!! And what are the "enable"s for?
Thanks again! (yes i sound kinda crabby, but it is just cuz i am hurrying) :)
How to breadboard a picaxe 28x1 to download code and get an LED blinking. From there add motors, sensors, etc to do more.
Please make a better
Please make a better headline: NO CAPITALS, and a title that could help others to find this information.
Imagine if everyone wrote "HELP" on the topic, crap site we would build.
If you search here for L293D
fancy shmancy support circuitry like capacitors and stuff
pull your unused pins
I found (from experimenting) that the enable pins on L293D are always enabling their outputs unless you pull them low. That means: unless you connect them to ground through a 10 kOhm resistor.
A floating enable pin will leave the outputs enabled. That means: not connected to anything.
The intended use is to connect them to V+ when you want to enable the outputs. Again: don't connect directly to V+, but through a resistor. You probably want to connect them to a digital output pin on the MCU. That's fine too. no resistor then.
Uff-da Vs and Vss...
Vs is the supply voltage.
Vss is the logic supply voltage.
(I read these off of the chart you included in this post)
Look at the chip pins and
Look at the chip pins and think about it for a minute. If there are a number of ground pins present, then the other voltage pins are probably positive. So you have both sides, the negative connected to ground, and the positive connected to Vs(s).Usually when a max voltage is shown in a datasheet, it will be positive. They put on the minus signs on if they mean negative.
Chips pins
@roboblogist, the ground pins on the picaxe board are the positive pins. the various V pins are supplying the power to the components and are negative.

This "RV Resort" is nothing but a run-down parking lot. Probably 95% of the sites are occupied by people that live there year round and let their junk pile up around their rigs. The sites are basically gravel and broken up concrete and are so close together that I doubt that you will be able to put out an awning. I would only stay here again in an emergency. This place is shameful. - User3573
Feb 2016 - $30.00
We stayed at this park for two weeks. First off, park has long term residents, who have trash and personal items all over and under their travel trailers. Sites are way too close together and navigating the roads and backing in is impossible. Sites are very unleveled and the sewer hookups are far away from where you park. Out of necessity we were going to make reservation there again due to another park being closed when we said we had two adults and a puppy 8wks old, they asked what breed, we replied chow shepard mix, the told us we could no longer stay there due to our dog being a aggressive breed. 8wk old puppy! Dog friendly?? I think not. - Gypsymama22
Nov 2015 - $36.00
The major benefit to this park is its location - convenient to get to Dallas and the northern suburbs. The sites are very close together. On this stay, we were near the front of the park (site 107), and found it to be much preferable to sites further back - primarily because the roads in the back half of the RV park have quite a lot of slope to them. The roads near the front are not so sloping and there isn't a large slope to the sites. - pattic777

Nice place right off I-35. Construction on highways to get here is awful. The park is very nice. Like a little neighborhood. The spots are nice and pretty roomy. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The little path to get to our site was a little sketchy and needs to be repaved. The pool looked inviting but we didn't use. Nice area to walk pets. - cmiller
Jun 2016 - $37.00
This park is very confusing to get to, made even worse by the fact that it seems all the interstates in and around Dallas are under construction. We got lost, but a phone call to a very nice lady at the park office got us back on the right track. This is an older park, but pretty well maintained. Sites are close but level. We only stayed one night, but would stay here again for a short time. - PatriotParents

Pros: good shade trees, nice playset, grounds well kept
Cons: jammed in like sardines, railroad ties make it hard to park/set up, rude staff, 24/7 traffic noise, hook ups far apart, no 20 amp service as advertised, traffic in and out of park at all hours, airplane traffic noise, pool was hot (felt like a swamp).
At check in, the receptionist knew our rig length and slides. Our first given site was not big enough. We barely made a loop through it to circle back to office. After explaining to staff, they assigned a premium site which was much more spacious. There are only a few premium sites at this campground. The rest of the park is very tightly arranged. - pokeynpepper

Great park with large sites and very big rig friendly. Sites very in size and slope so it is a good idea to drive through before you sign in. No septic at the sites but the dump station is close and easy to use. We were run out by heavy rains causing flooding but this is a rare occurrence. Service would have been excellent except that we were not notified of the evacuation until 6 hours after it was decided. Hard to deal with same day evacuation when you learn about it at 4PM! We would return without question! It's an oasis in the city.. - Beech35p
Nov 2015 - $28.00
Great campground close enough to Dallas to visit attractions. The worse part about our stay was the construction on I35E at the turn off for the camp. We also had the wrong address. If we had the correct address, our GPs would have found it. The address is 1201 Point Vista Road in Hickory Creek, Tx. There was no noise from highway, but we were on the airport flight path. The planes slowed down at night. We were in a site with a view of the lake and we saw deer during our stay. - BigR

Rate is for Senior Pass discount. Wonderful park in a residential area near Dallas. Large sites many with lake view and shade. Partial hookups; water and electric. Good OTA reception; good Verizon cell and MiFi reception. Walmart is within a mile from the park. Stayed nine nights and would return. - Dave51

This park was a Jeckyl/Hyde for us. Power was solid, ran two A/C's, fridge on electric and water heater on electric during daytime temps hitting 100 deg without any voltage dips. Our site was at least a 90' long pull-thru. Park staff goes out of their way to be friendly.
That was the Jeckyl part, now for the Hyde. This place is covered over with RV-clawing trees. My 5th wheel is a little taller than average at 13'6" but some of the limbs I had to dodge were at least two feet below my roof-line. Interior roads are paved but very narrow and they allow campers to park their cars and trucks off the edge of the road. Getting past those vehicles is like threading a needle. The trees in my site were so close to my roof that I could not deploy my sat dish or my over the air antenna. But even with the OTA antenna laying flat on the roof I got 40 channels. Almost everything except CBS.
My rate was higher than previous posters because I was a non-resident. This place is definitely a local favorite as evident by the weekend crowds. This is a $25 park, it is not a $35 park. - jperry29

Pilot Knoll Park campground is a beautiful park on Lewisville Lake. It is operated by the city of Highland Village. Wooded sites and most all are on the lake or have lake views. Sites are $25/night and have 50A electric and water with a central dump station. Back in and pull throughs available. Most sites can accommodate large RV's. Reserve online through the Highland Village website. We were in site 30 (primo site) this trip. We've camped here many times and will return. - drfife

Great place for a weekend gateway. 5 minutes from town but feels like your away except for airport traffic. Highland Village is a very safe Dallas suburb. So if you are travling through and looking for a safe spot this is a great option. 50 amp electrical and water hookup. Excellent pressure as I had to turn down my regulator. Utilities are dedicated so no sharing a utility pole. No issues running AC. - QFamCA

This is the second time we have stayed here while visiting friends in the area. It is a nice park and very convenient for us. Water and 50 amp electric, no cable, dump station and GREAT wifi. We arrived in a rainstorm. The roadway within the park is horrible, full of pot holes. We were in the front and didn't have to drive it, but it really needs some work. Front gate is locked at 11:00 and there is no way to get in. We would stay here again because of convenience and cost. Rate is based on Senior discount. - Sally Chew

We have stayed at this camp site for a few years now. Always loved it felt like home. But as of recently park has gone down hill. Laundry facilities are always out of order, one out of the four washers is always out of order even dryers dont dry clothes. Bathrooms and showers are filthy, used razors laying around. Now on to the biggest thing, transients! Drunk dirty homeless people wandering in harassing rv'ers trying to get into the bathroom facilities. Hanging out at all times of the night. Asking to use your restroom in your RV. Doesnt feel safe anymore. Also may patrons living in vans with personal property laying all over the outside. This all makes me sad since this place used to be great. The city meeds to put some real money and time into this site. - Gypsymama22

We enjoyed our stay at the Lewisville Lake Park Campground. The location is convenient to access places in the DFW area. The site was nice with adequate space between RVs. The restroom and laundry room were reasonably clean and well maintained.
When we were there, the lake level was high and rising, so the staff indicated that some of the sites would possibly need to move (30 amp sites), but the 50 amp sites were well high and not subject to flooding.
No sewer hookups but dump is conveniently located; we're used to boondocking so it isn't a challenge to stay a week or more without dumping. Price is hard to beat for seniors! - pattic777

We stopped here for one night and used our Passport America to get the $17 rate. The checkin was easy and we were given a long pull through as we were leaving in the morning and didn't want to unhitch the towed. Very satellite friendly, WiFi is available but not free. - Ned

We stayed at this campground last September and it had CATV. That's gone now and many of the amenities such as newspaper boxes are gone.

This is a hidden jewel in North Texas. It's part of the state park system. While we were there the park was not heavily occupied and rather quiet. The spots are quite separated so that you don't feel cramped. The 50 amp spots are all pull-through. The 30 amp spots are back-ins, and quite a few of them back up to the lake. All spots had a fire pit and a picnic table.
There are several play grounds, bathing houses, and a large public 'beach area'. There is a walking path through the woods which loops throughout the park.
If you pay for the Texas State Parks Pass, you get a good discount. It's good for a year at all of the state parks. - mpruet
Sep 2014 - $26.00
A real hidden gem in this area. The lake is up and there is a lot of activity on the lake, there are two major sights on the lake and Johnson Branch is on the north side and has about a 10th of the traffic as the south side. The JB has about 100 sites and I think about 11 are 50 amp all of those are drive thru. The best sites are all 30 amps and back in but since it was in the 90's we parked in one of the 50 amp pull thru sites to stay cool. Rangers were personable and friendly especially since it was our first time to camp here, we went ahead and bought an annual park pass and paid $26 a night. All of the sites have water and electric and a sewer dump is close to the entrance. About the only negative is w/o the pass it is an additional $7.00 per day per person so the cost gets too high. Gates are locked from 10PM to 6AM but they give you a code so we felt very secure and during the day it was quiet and after dark it was completely quiet. We will be back again and again. - DKRITTER

The campground is very nice. Large paved sites. Our site was Lakeside, except there was no water in the lake at this part of the park. Water is very low and appeared it had been so for a long time with grass and bushes growing where water once was in one end of the lake. The Texas Parks pass is a good deal if using Texas Parks frequently, but as a visitor, I thought the $7.00 per person, per day entry fee was too high. We've stayed at other Texas Parks for $2 or $3. - Destinations

The Vineyards is an excellent park that has the possibility of being outstanding. Only part of one section of the park was open during our stay due to flooding. Of the section that was open, there was only one level place (right past the store) to disconnect your toad. (There may be other places once the flood waters recede.) All hookups worked and were well-placed with no extensions needed. My only real complaint about this park is how unlevel the sites are. Even the renovated sites where they have poured concrete are unlevel, with the exception of 6 or 7 of them. We were in one of the semi-level sites and only needed one set of 1.5" boards on the back. Most motorhomes we saw had at least one tire off the ground. I don't understand the concept of spending money to pour new concrete and not leveling the site. Some of the concrete sites had a 6" slope from front to back. Beyond this, I have no complaints. The park hosts were friendly and helpful. The park is conveniently located with many things to do right in Grapevine. The restrooms were clean, though there was no shower curtain. We stayed 5 nights in June and it was always quiet and peaceful. - dad2aprincess

We stayed in gold site 85, backup, overlooking lake. This would have been worth it if we could have driven in, because the view out of the windshield was the road. This site also has afternoon sun. A silver pull through like site 78 has a better view as well as afternoon shade provided by the shadow of your motorhome. Some sites appeared not level as coaches had the front tires off the ground. Pretty grounds, friendly and helpful host, great location with excellent restaurants. We will return. - Travel Well
Jan 2015 - $38.00
This was our second stay in this park. It's a lovely setting. The sites are large and well separated. Most are pretty level. We paid extra for a premium lake-front site, although the lake level is pretty low. Wifi works really well, lots of networks to choose from. The park is clean, well-maintained, and secure. It's a little pricey but that's our only complaint. We would stay here again. - Pull Toy

This is a wonderful State Park, and we keep returning. We even have a favorite site, 62. It is hard to beat the relaxation and enjoyment of this ample wooded, quiet, lakeside location. The wide variety of birds and the frequent visits from grazing deer at our site was delightful. Unfortunately, there is no sewer at the campsites, only a dump station. The rate for our 30 amp site was $25, but we also had to pay entrance fees which accounts for the total of $33 per night. We went to McDonalds in Sanger for internet access. - Scott & Nancy

At first we had site 46 which is a pull through and was a really nice "level site" but when attempting to level the motor home each time the back wheels were off the ground by 6". So we were able to move to site 51. We always enjoy this park and find it to be very clean. The staff are helpful. The park is very quiet. Just check out the sites if you need a level one for bigger rigs (33' and longer) - Stujan

Went here when the price was reduced for the "off" season. A nice park but we have been to much nicer and far less expensive parks. $65 on season is ridiculous. It is clean and the senior citizen staff attentive. Over priced and nothing special. I believe this city owned park on a Corps of Engineers park takes advantage of its central Dallas/Fort Worth to overcharge customers. - artgpo

On the series premiere of "The Originals," fans got a remix of the backdoor pilot that aired last season on its parent series, "The Vampire Diaries."
While last season's episode centered on Klaus' (Joseph Morgan) experiences in New Orleans, we saw everything through Elijah's (Daniel Gillies) eyes in the show's premiere episode. While there were plenty of overlapping moments, Elijah proved he could be a compelling lead character in a series.
But all of that was put into question by the end of the hour. After Elijah helped Klaus secure a deal with Marcel, the new vampire leader of New Orleans, Klaus made a fateful decision: he daggered his brother.
"I have realized one massive vulnerability, one weakness, that Marcel could exploit," Klaus told Elijah. "You."
Entertainment Weekly's Mandi Bierly is hoping the daggering is only temporary. "This isn't the first time we've seen Klaus dagger Elijah after Elijah came to his rescue (if you're a 'TVD' fan)," she wrote. "But it made me gasp. Partly because I don't want to see [actor Daniel] Gillies sidelined for any period of time. Partly because… no, that's pretty much it. Fix this, Rebekah. And quick."
"The Originals" airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

BETHESDA, Md. -- Shinnecock Hills will become the first course to host a U.S. Open in three different centuries when the tournament returns to the Long Island club in 2018.
The United States Golf Association announced Wednesday that Shinnecock, site of the second U.S. Open in 1896, will get the event for the fifth time when the 118th edition of the golf calendar's third major championship is played there.
The course was the subject of considerable controversy when Retief Goosen won in 2004 on baked-out greens that forced officials to water them between groups during the final round for fear of losing them.
In the aftermath of the tournament, the USGA instituted guidelines for its preparation of courses.
"We are thrilled that our national championship will return to one of our country's most-storied venues," USGA president Jim Hyler said. "We are confident that Shinnecock Hills will provide a true challenge for the world's premier players, as it has for more than a century."
After James Foulis won the 1896 Open -- a year after Newport Country Club hosted the inaugural Open -- the tournament did not return to Shinnecock until 1986. That year, Raymond Floyd outlasted a slew of final-day contenders.
Corey Pavin held off Greg Norman to win in 1995, and Goosen relegated to Phil Mickelson one of his five runner-up finishes at the Open in 2004.
The U.S. Open sites are set through 2019. Next year's tournament returns to the Olympic Club in San Francisco, followed by Merion Golf Club, outside of Philadelphia, in 2013, and Pinehurst in North Carolina in 2014.
The USGA then will take the tournament in 2015 for the first time to Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash., followed by Oakmont in 2016 and another first-timer, Erin Hills in Wisconsin, in 2017.
Pebble Beach already has been announced as the course for the 2019 tournament.
Shinnecock Hills was one of the founding members of the USGA in 1894, along with The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.; Newport (R.I.) Golf Club; Chicago Golf Club; and Saint Andrews Golf Club in New York. The current layout was designed by William Flynn in 1931.
Bob Harig is the golf writer for ESPN.com.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Zachary Gordon stars in the third film in the family comedy franchise, based on Jeff Kinney's hit pre-teen novels.
On Film4: 31 Jul 1:00PM
Kate Winslet stars in this finely-observed contemporary re-telling of 'Madame Bovary', set against the backdrop of a town obsessed with a sex offender arriving in the neighbourhood.
Young mothers sit at a park bench watching their toddlers play. An arch voiceover dwells on the manners of this suburban coven. This literary narrator notes how one of their number, Sarah Pierce (Winslet) feels apart from Soccer Mom concerns of rice cakes, snack times, organic this and organic that. Young father, Brad (Wilson) enters the park, pushing a stroller with his son upon his shoulders. The moms call him 'The Prom King' and each has their own unspoken fantasy about him. Sarah wagers she can get his number but, in a moment of unexpected passion, persuades Brad to kiss her, in clear view of the children. Thus, Sarah puts herself beyond the pale.
Modern parenting, its demands, anxieties and taboos, has profoundly altered middle-class relationships, jangling the sexual ties between husband and wife and, on a larger scale, seeding communities with fears rational and irrational, from pollutants in the food chain to paedophiles in the playground. Contrary winds of desire bind the parent - the centrifugal pursuit of self-gratification, the centripetal deferring of individual need for the good of the little ones.
Brad and Sarah yearn for lost selves. He takes up football again when he really should be studying for his law exam. She keeps a room of her own full of the literature she studied as a grad student. But as one of those classics was Gustave Flaubert's 'Madame Bovary', the story of a bourgeois woman who is damned by her adultery, Sarah and Brad's relationship cannot remain platonic for long.
Little Children opens with a slow movement over porcelain figurines of children surrounded by antique ticking clocks. This collection belongs to the mother of convicted sex offender Ronald James McGorvey (Haley) who has recently moved into the neighbourhood. His arrival upsets retired policeman Larry Hedges (Emmerich), a livid, damaged man who harasses McGorvey even as his own life is falling apart. Just at the point at which Brad and Sarah are consummating their relationship in the laundry room during the children's nap time, our attention is transferred to McGorvey's attempts at dating, doomed by the compulsions of his "psycho-sexual disorder".
In an alternative, saner universe than this one, Little Children would be garlanded with awards, all the way from Winslet's ferocious, self-exposing sex scenes to Haley's sympathetic portrait of a modern bogeyman. His McGorvey combines a fragile, timid exterior with a ruthless animalistic need, as if a tiny masturbatory engine had been installed into one of his mother's porcelain figurines.
Imagine a young Tom Hanks taking on the role of neighbourhood perv, or Tom Cruise doing it. Imagine them taking the podium to give a speech lauding the unsung heroism of neighbourhood pervs through the ages... Since he was a child star in the Bad News Bears, Haley's career has wandered off into roles as stock weirdo in straight-to-video pulp. This performance merits the kind of accolades bigger names pick up for daring to perform with a lisp. Phyllis Somerville as McGorvey's mother is also intriguing; she knows what her son has done, but she also knows there is good in him, if only he could find a nice woman to help him with his urges.
Simply, Little Children has the kind of mature and insightful observations about suburbs last seen in John Updike's 'Couples'. There are echoes of Magnolia in its winding through a community and American Beauty in addressing suburban angst, but it is more accurate in its subdued characterisations than either.
For most of Little Children, director Todd Field and his co-writer Tom Perrotta reclaim the suburbs from lurid hyperrealities. Where American Beauty had plate-throwing at the dinner table, Little Children watches Brad's wife Kathy (Connelly) luxuriate at the perfection of her sleeping son's little foot. Taking the son into the marital bed, making him the object of the hugs and kisses that would once have been showered upon Brad, this is how modern parenting leads to the death of sex.
Like Sam Mendes's debut and the TV show 'Desperate Housewives', Todd Field's film adopts the distancing, anthropological voiceover, treating the suburbs as if they are a strange and unfamiliar land. The device is less welcome in Little Children. Perhaps it is intended to echo Flaubert's authorial tones in 'Madame Bovary', perhaps it is the voice of America itself. Either way, it feels over-literary, interfering with our eavesdropping upon this heartland.
More than just another dissection of suburban sexual frustration, its concern with children, parents and those of us who lie somewhere in-between make Little Children a minor masterpiece.

Whales must not be allowed to die in the thousands for needless, discredited "research," and we're satellite tracking whales in the Southern Ocean to prove it.
The Great Whale Trail is a collaboration between Greenpeace and scientists working on humpback whales in the South Pacific.
With financial support from Greenpeace, humpback whales have been tagged by the Cook Islands Whale Research and Opération Cétacés (New Caledonia).
The whales are now being tracked via satellite as they migrate from breeding and calving areas in the tropical South Pacific to the feeding grounds of the Southern Ocean.
Check out the early results
This project will produce important information on the movements and migratory destinations of humpback whales from small, unrecovered populations off Rarotonga (Cook Islands) and New Caledonia.
Greenpeace is communicating this critical non-lethal scientific research to the wider public as part of their campaign against Japan's unnecessary lethal "research" in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
On their journey, the humpbacks, like hundreds of thousands of other whales, face a range of threats including ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, pollution and the impacts of climate change.
Every year, more than 300,000 whales and dolphins die just caught in nets. The one place you might think they would be safe is a whale sanctuary like the Southern Ocean. Not so. Once in Antarctic waters they face the threat most easily ended - whaling.
The Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary was meant to be a safe haven but every year the Fisheries Agency of Japan send a fleet of whaling ships to kill in the name of science. For the third year running they aim to hunt down almost 1,000 minke whales.
This year, they also plan to kill 50 threatened humpback whales and 50 endangered fin whales.
All of these whales will die for so-called 'scientific research' - but even the International Whaling Commission has labelled the "research" needless and urged the Japanese government to stop.
Why catching whales for science is a hoax
In reality, the "research" is commercial whaling in disguise - and the whale meat actually ends up in supermarket shelves in Japan, even though few people eat it anymore. Commercial whaling is banned under IWC rules.
In contrast, the Great Whale Trail project is contributing to real scientific efforts without killing whales.

Debbie Hunter's Profile
We (my daughter Bethany and I) opened up our Etsy Shop October 2011 and have thoroughly enjoyed it! We've made a lot of wonderful new friends since then! Bethany has since graduated College and is now a Teacher, so the shop is mostly me now.
During 2012 I made a lot of changes to my life. I closed down my Bead Shop of 9 years - it was a very tough decision as I really loved doing it. I miss my customers and all the classes I used to teach, however I still feel it was the correct decision to make. I've also downsized homes to a more manageable (financially and physically) townhouse. I still have plenty of room for my Etsy Shop and also my Work Lab/Shop! :) (And also the Fur Babies!! Can't forget them!) I've made these changes partly because of Economic Issues here in our area, but mostly because of my Husbands failing health. (You can read more on that under the Alzheimer's Jewelry Collection in "Deb's Jewelry".)…

The set list includes performances from a wide range of artists from Jamaica, Sweden and the U.S., including Capleton, Ce'cile, Elephant Man, Gentleman, Groundation, Inner Circle, Israel Vibration, Julian Marley, Marcia Griffiths, Protoje, U Roy and Papa Dee.

Product Description
From Amazon
In Ransom, New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood returns to her beloved Highlands and the dark days of the despotic rule of King John to reacquaint readers with Scottish chieftain Brodick Buchanan, first introduced in The Secret. Brodick finds himself playing protector to Gillian, an exquisite English beauty, who is desperate to find her long-lost sister and a treasure of incalculable worth--one for which many already have died, including Gillian's own father. Coerced by the fiendish Baron Alford, who murdered her father before her eyes and usurped her birthright 14 years earlier, Gillian must return to England with Arianna's Box, a bejeweled golden box commissioned by King John, or her beloved Uncle Morgan will be tortured to death. In spite of Gillian's fragile looks and her loathsome English bloodlines, Brodick encounters a woman of immeasurable courage and determination, one not at all intimidated by his legendary temper or imposing size. And as he realizes that he has met his match in Gillian--whose sense of honor and duty equals his own--their passion for each other grows ever stronger in this thrilling historical. --Alison Trinkle --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Library Journal
In The Secret (Pocket, 1997), Garwood introduced fans to Brodick Buchanan and Ramsey Sinclair, then left us dangling for years with the hint that Brodick and Ramsey were going wife-hunting to find the happiness Laird Ian Maitland found in his Judith. Well, they don't seem to have remembered the purpose of their quest, possibly because each is too busy being laird of his own clan. When Lady Gillian arrives in Scotland to search for her long-lost sister and to return a kidnapped boy to the Maitlands, she pulls Brodick away from his duties by claiming to be his bride. Her guardian, Baron Alford, believes her sister holds the key to a treasure King John is desperate to find. Alford, the man responsible for killing Gillian's father, uses her uncle as a ransom against her return. Gillian needs Brodick's help to locate her sister, who is believed to be hiding within Ramsey's clan. When the two strong-willed people meet, tempers flare and sparks fly. Jan Maxwell provides an excellent interpretation of the nuances of Garwood's writing, but the abridgment itself leaps too quickly across important plot points and lingers on background material, leaving listeners to wonder "What happened?" Wait for the unabridged version. Not recommended.AMelanie C. Duncan, Washington Memorial Lib., Macon, GA

Top Customer Reviews
Some reviewers have mentioned that they felt Ramsey and Brigid deserved more time or that they should have had a separate book. They have also commented that Brodick and Gillian were not so interesting. I don't normally comment on other reviews - we all have a right to our opinions after all! - but in this case I just had to respond, as I couldn't disagree more.
Gillian and Brodick are a wonderful couple; Gillian is clever and smart as well as beautiful and brave, and Brodick is confident, protective, sexy and brave too. What I loved was that he always had respect for Gillian's abilities unlike many alpha heroes, even when Gillian doubted herself he always reassured her. He even defended her skills to other people rather than belittling her or treating her badly as heroes in other historicals are prone to do with alarming regularity.
Gillian and Brodick in my opinion deserve the extra time - although Brigid and Ramsey were great too - because they were much less conventional than the other couple, which made their story even more engrossing. Their dialogue was electric and it was clear to me that they belonged together - no one else would have been quite right for them.
Overall Ransom was fantastic and included all the elements I love in a romantic novel.Read more ›
Ransom is the story of Lady Gillian, whose father is killed and family destroyed when she is only five and Baron Alford invades her home. She is separated from her sister Christen, who flees into Scotland for protection. Gillian remains in England with her Uncle Morgan. When she grows up, her uncle is held for ransom until Gillian can find Arriana's box, King John's missing treasure that holds the clue to who killed his one true love. Gillian has reason to believe that her sister has the box, so she escapes the baron with a kidnapped Scottish boy, Alec. They head to Scotland to find Christen, and fall together with the laird and a few soldiers of the Buchanan clan. Gillian falls in love with the laird, Brodick.
Also included included in the storyline is the romance of Ramsey Sinclair and Bridgid, although it plays a disappointingly secondary role to the main romance between Brodick and Gillian. Between searching for her sister, finding a traitor in the midst of the Sinclair clan whom only Gillian can recognize, and falling in love, the plot is amazing in its complexity. The setting feels utterly real and the dialogue is witty and entertaining.Read more ›
Gillian knew that she needed help to find her sister and she knew that she would need a strong champion to help her save her Uncle Morgan. When Alec waxed eloquent about his protector, Brodick Buchanan, Gillian knew that she had found her champion. By pretending to be Brodick's bride, Gillian ensured that Brodick would find her quickly and she could see his skills with her own eyes. When Gillian first spotted Brodick, she knew she was in trouble. The man was so stubborn and exasperating, but she found herself falling in love with him regardless. Brodick knew that Gillian was English, which was a pretty big flaw, but he had never seen anyone so lovely and she didn't seem to be afraid of him, which was a first.Read more ›

"Ben-Hur" Comes to Iraq
Last February, I wrote about The Exorcist Experience in Iraq."The Exorcist" is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, so the thought that they were giving tours of the site where the movie's opening sequence was filmed was quite fascinating to me.
Well, I've just learned that the troops in Iraq, awaiting orders for the blitz of Fallujah, have needed another Hollywood diversion: running chariot games right out of"Ben-Hur," which just so happens to be my favorite film of all time."The First Annual 'Ben-Hur' Memorial Chariot Race" has provided the troops with some much-needed entertainment.
I can't wait for the day that the U.S. armed forces re-enact another film:"The Great Escape."

text: SPDR S&P 500 ETF First, it's worth taking an updated look at the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY) today. SPY is a good proxy for the broad market -- the $130 billion ETF mirrors the S&P's daily ebb and flow, giving investors a one-step way to buy stocks as a group. And lately, both the big index and this ETF have been looking extremely attractive from a technical standpoint. >>5 Stocks Fund Managers Love for 2013 It doesn't take a whole lot of technical expertise to see where the prevailing trend is in this chart: It's up. More importantly, that uptrend has stayed within a tight channel since all the way back in November. Even when the S&P tested support in mid-April, the index managed to catch a bid at that lower line and bounce higher again. In a word, this rally has been "orderly" -- and it continues to be orderly right now. In a nutshell, this is still a "buy the dips" market. By that, I mean that it's continuing to pay off to buy SPY close to trend line support. That'll change when the uptrend breaks and the 50-day moving average gets violated. Until that happens, keep buying the dips. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Why I love Colorado
"At 17 I went to college in Colorado and spent my first break stuck in a blizzard with a dozen other classmates, our tents pitched at 12,000ft. We never did summit Crestone Peak, but later hiked out under banner blue skies and outrageous alpine scenery. I stayed for over a decade and keep returning. You could say Colorado was my education – in hiking, river running and just plain living well. With so many sunny days..." Read More

Steve Austin talks about 'Redneck Island'
By Lynn Hoppes
Wrestling legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin returns tonight for the second season of
"Redneck Island"
on CMT.

text: Market Vectors Coal ETF Another stock that's already started to breakout is the Market Vectors Coal ETF ( KOL), which looks to replicate as closely as possible the price and yield return performance of the Stowe Coal Index. So far in 2011, this ETF is up around 7.3%. That could simply be just the start of the gains for KOL. In the aftermath of its natural disaster, Japan is going to demand a ton of energy to rebuild itself. Coal just flat out makes sense because it doesn't have any of the risks of nuclear energy. If you take a look at the chart for KOL, you'll see that this ETF has already started to trade above some major overhead resistance at around $50 a share. This move is technically constructive because its coming as the stock has moved out of sideways trading channel. That channel shows that buyers came in to support the stock at around $45 a share, and there had been resistance at around $50, until now. Technically, when a stock breaks out of a channel like this, it usually means the stock is entering a new uptrend. What makes me even more confident about this breakout is that it's coming on huge volume. During the past two trading sessions (both up days), volume was around 1 million and 1.4 million, vs. the three-month average volume of 618,000 shares. That's telling me that institutional investors are getting into this ETF, and what's great is that they're doing it at the breakout point. So where can KOL trade to next? I would look for the stock to now make a run at its all-time high at around $60 a share. Any move about $60, and I would add to current or new positions, since it could mean it wants to trend higher for some time. International Coal Group If this breakout in KOL continues, and I expect it will, then you're going to see other coal stocks follow suit. One name in the space that technically looks fantastic is International Coal Group ( ICO). This company is a producer of coal in the Northern and Central Appalachia. This stock has been doing nothing but making higher highs and higher lows for the past six months, which is very bullish. Traders should now watch for a breakout if the stock can take out some overhead resistance at around $11.50 a share.
