Project Description
I have a bug on my retail site. My customers can not transfer from my "choose your delivery date" page to my "credit card payment" page.
The bug only occurs depending on what time it is. If it is 4 PM, then customers can't choose anything before 4 PM even for days later in the week!
If it's 11 PM at night customers can't choose any times at all (because all choices are earlier than 11 PM)
I think this error has something to do with a recent sever transfer, and a part of our code that is supposed to get rid of all delivery times for the next day automatically at midnight.
I need this fixed ASAP.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
~ Group
Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American Southern rock band, described by All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious, Southern image and a hard rock swagger."
The band reached prominence during the 1970s, under the leadership of vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, until his death in 1977.
Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /ˌlɛnərd ˈskɪnərd/ LEN-ərd-SKIN-ərd) is an American rock band best known for popularizing the Southern rock genre during the 1970s. Originally formed in 1964 as My Backyard in Jacksonville, Florida, the band used various names such as The Noble Five and One Percent, before coming up with Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1969. The band rose to worldwide recognition on the basis of its live performances and signature tunes "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". At the peak of their success, three members died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation.
The surviving band members re-formed in 1987 for a reunion tour with lead vocalist Johnny Van Zant, the younger brother of lead singer and founder Ronnie Van Zant. The re-formed band continues to tour and record with co-founding member Gary Rossington and core members Johnny Van Zant, along with guitarist Rickey Medlocke who wrote and recorded with the band from 1971 to 1972 and would later return in 1996. Drummer Michael Cartellone has recorded and toured with the band as its core drummer since 1999. Lynyrd Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006.

Any project featuring one of the world's most famous opera singers reinterpreting the songs of Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, and the Mars Volta must rate pretty high on any WTF scale, right? But that's just what Renée Fleming is doing on Dark Hope, which could be pretty compelling whether you're interested in the vocal pyrotechnics or the possibility of a stylistic trainwreck. If the song samples in the promo video are any indication, it sounds like today's art rock hits might make for tomorrow's easy listening, as Fleming puts the diva in emo on numbers by Death Cab for Cutie and Muse. And maybe we don't need another version of "Hallelujah" even if it's performed by the best singer alive, something that Fleming herself seems to appreciate in the video. But as the promo attests, one thing you have to give Fleming credit for is taking this somewhat absurd idea seriously. Dark Hope will be released on June 8, while Fleming's cover of Muse's "Endlessly" is already available at iTunes.

Band of Horses have been dropping a steady trail of bread crumbs toward the May 18 release of their third album, Infinite Arms, with videos for the songs "Compliments" and "NW Apt". Now we've got a four-and-a-half-minute teaser about the making of the album, featuring an expanded band line-up and what appears to be a significant lightening-up of frontman Ben Bridwell, who has a reputation for being "difficult". The new songs sound great and Bridwell seems genuinely excited about the prospect of this album being a much more collaborative effort than past Band of Horses releases.
What will they think of next? Well, you're supposed to be able to do almost anything with an iPad, right, so why not skateboard. [via Mashable]
Felix Cartal mashes up electronic music styles in his remix work for notables such as MSTRKRFT and Ashlee Simpson, as well as on his debut album Popular Music. So, it's quite fitting that video director Ace Norton took a "mash-up" approach to the video for "Volcano". Riffing off an old Dan Rather newscast about the Mount St. Helen's eruption, Norton superimposes a singing mouth featuring the vocals of Johnny Whitney from the Blood Brothers over Rather's talking head.
"As a kid, my parents would put on the CBS Evening News every night while we ate dinner," says Norton. "When they fired Dan Rather, I didn't realize how comforting his voice was until it wasn't there anymore. With all this coverage about the volcano in Iceland, it only seemed right to give the man one last broadcast, and make it about the biggest news story of all time—the impending apocalypse. This video is Dante's Peak, meets Ron Burgandy, meets Poltergeist." Ace Norton has a lengthy list of credits to his name, with turns behind the camera for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Death Cab for Cutie, She and Him and many more. "Volcano" is a banging, anthemesque tune with shades of distortion moving amongst strong beats. It's house, techno and dance-pop all in one.
This is a bit easier on the eyes compared to red headed children being murdered, isn't it? As part of AV Club's "Undercover" series, the British band the Clientele gently covered M.I.A.'s breakthrough hit "Paper Planes", somehow transforming her violent prose into something a little more affable. The promotion still has 17 weeks left, with covers of the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" waiting in the wings.

As a fan and growing up with the original Godzilla movies, I figured I would hate this movie. But, as it turns out, I thought it was pretty well done. Great acting and the special effects were amazing. Not overly scary and graphic, so my kids enjoy this movie as well.
We really enjoyed the movie. The picture quality was excellent. I would recommend this movie for the price.
Its godzilla and only 5.00 if yu like godzilla this is for you
Awesome movie. Great price ordering on-line. Free site to store shipping rocks & was there quickly & no hassels.
Alittle funny,mystory,and scary. Lots of action.
Very good movie.
Very good movie just as good as the old movie, but in color.
Personally I hate this movie, but my son loves it. I have no idea why. I hate this movie with a passion, but if you're into it you'll like it. This is why I gave it such a low rating, but for the price...not too bad
I love this movie! No rubber suits here, they give you a lifelike Godzilla! Good effects for the time it was made. It's almost Jurassic Park good, which is why I bumped it down one spot (keeping the standards high). Like any of these kind of movies, there a couple spots you might say "whaaat" on (like a bit of overzealous pilots raining bullets where you wouldn't want bullets), but nothing to ruin the show. And the show is fun! It's a long movie at 139 minutes, so be sure you got the time.
This is the best version of Godzilla, to me anyway, I love all of the fast pace action and special FX that was available at the time the movie was made. I suggest that you have this movie you need to get the animated series that kinda ties in to the end of the movie.
I got this movie for my grandson and he loves it, but it took forever to get it. I don't know what happened but it took quit a while to be delivered at my Wal-Mart.
Nothing was left out in order to show more commercials. That is the main reason I buy DVDs. I want to see the whole movie, not just what is left after the commercials have been put in place. I have been looking for Godzilla for some time. It's one of my favorites.
Believable action scenes with a great cast that keeps your attention hooked on the movie.
fun to be able to get the old Godzilla before the new one comes out.


text: Posted November 20, 2013 well sweet mercy they actually have a really good episode going on tonight. the less of that obnoxious lead girl we have and the more actual connections we have to the Marvel U, the better this show seems to be. though how they keep referring to Asgardians as "alien" is driving me insane.

It wasn't Vader. It was a clone.
I don't think the Vader that Starkiller fought and captured on Kamino was Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker.
I think it will be revealed that it was actually a clone of Vader.
We saw that Starkiller dropped Vader with Force Lightning and basically rendered him useless in the beginning of the game - yet "Vader" stood up to a relentless barrage of Force Fury lightning on Kamino. Maybe the life support suit that is known to not handle electricity so well was actually more of a costume for a Vader clone.
Also...Vader captured? Really? I don't think that even in these days of Star Wars expanded universe garbage would Lucas/Lucasfilm/Lucasarts allow the big bad villain and central focus of the entire saga just be neutered and captured.
Perhaps a clone of Vader (we know that clones of Jedi can use the force) was used as another ploy by Vader to lure Starkiller again without having to risk being killed or even...captured? Vader now knows exactly where the Rebellion is going - exactly where Starkiller, Juno and Kota are going and where a supposed "hidden Rebel base" is.
Yea, I am just trying to figure out a reasonable explanation for the down right strange ending of TFUII...

The Vicar of Dibley: The Divine Collection
~ Dawn French
Offered by OMydeals

4.0 out of 5 stars
No, no ... no, no, no. Yes!
March 14 2004
This review is from:
The Vicar of Dibley: The Divine Collection (DVD)
THE VICAR OF DIBLEY series must be seen if for no other reason than for the delightful eccentricity of its characters. It played on the British telly from 1994-2000.
As the first episode opens, the aged male vicar of the St. Barnabus Anglican church in the small, rural, village of Dibley dies during Sunday service. The parish council, chaired by the sensible and straight-laced landed gent David Horton (Gary Waldhorn), requests a new vicar from the local bishop. Much to the council's surprise, who should be assigned but the Rev. Geraldine Grainger (Dawn French). On her arrival by cab in the midst of a rainstorm, Geraldine, a young, single, full-figured woman, stuns Horton by saying, "I'll bet you weren't expecting a woman. Or someone with these" - while gesturing to her ample bosom.
Thus, Grainger invades the Dibley community. And, as Horton later - much later after many differences of opinion - admits, she's the best vicar the parish has ever had.
The strength of the series is in the supporting roles. There's squire Horton, of course, driven to frequent bemusement and exasperation by Geraldine and his council members. These include his own dim-witted son, Hugo (James Fleet), who's in love with the mentally challenged parish verger, Alice Tinker (Emma Chambers), who has the intellectual capacity of a brick. Then, there's Jim Trott (Trevor Peacock), who has the nervous habit of prefacing any statement with "No, no ... no, no, no." (During one episode, the viewer is introduced to Mrs. Trott, whose foible is the opposite: "Yes, yes ... yes, yes, yes". But she's never seen again.) There's Frank Pickle (John Bluthal), the council secretary who records the minutes in infuriatingly compulsive detail, and Owen Nesbitt (Roger Lloyd Pack), the profane and blunt-speaking farmer who develops a lust for Geraldine. Finally, there's Letitia Cropley (Liz Smith), killed off in the 1996 Easter special, who has a penchant for experimenting with the most bizarre food recipes, which she trys out on her hapless council colleagues.
Filmed in the quaint hamlet of Turville, just off the M40 about 20 miles west from its junction with the M25 Ring, THE VICAR OF DIBLEY is consistently amusing. For me, the funniest episodes were: "The Easter Bunny" (disc 2), wherein each member of the parish council must decide what to give up for Lent, which, for Geraldine is chocolate; "The Christmas Lunch Incident" (disc 2), wherein Geraldine bites off more than she can chew, literally, by rashly accepting several Christmas lunch invitations; "Autumn" (disc 3), wherein Geraldine is seduced and abandoned by David Horton's hunky brother Simon. And, there are a couple of celebrity guests in brief appearances: Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Johnny Depp. You know, the Duchess is a Babe.
I can't award five stars because there are a couple of clunker episodes. But, on the whole, THE VICAR OF DIBLEY is top drawer British comedy, and certainly superior to the ubiquitous garbage sitcoms on American TV nowadays.

Stephanie and Rex become homeless
March 6 2004
This review is from:
Four to Score (Mass Market Paperback)
What's a girl to do when handcuffed to her own refrigerator?
For those readers unacquainted with Stephanie Plum, she's a skip tracer, i.e. bounty hunter, working for her cousin Vinnie in Trenton, NJ. She's also a disaster magnet. So, when her latest assignment, Maxine Nowicki, who jumped bail after being charged with the theft of her estranged boyfriend's car, handcuffs Plum to the door of her own fridge, what's left to do while awaiting rescue but finish off the leftover banana cream pie, a jar of peanut butter, and a bag of baby carrots? And that's before her car explodes, her apartment is gutted by fire, and she gets raw egg in her hair.
As I work my way sequentially through the Stephanie Plum series, I stand amazed at the imagination of author Janet Evanovich that continually ups the ante on the absurdity of the situations in which Stephanie finds herself and the eccentricity of the characters that gravitate to our heroine like lint to a black dress. Yet, the craziness never seems pushed or over the top, but is just Stephanie's karma in a nutty world.
The continuing "male lead" in all of Plum's adventures is Joe Morelli, the rascally plain-clothes Trenton cop with whom Stephanie has a long love-hate relationship. When they were just pre-pubescent kids, the sexually precocious Joe lured Stephanie into his father's garage to play choo-choo. As teenagers, Plum ran down Morelli with the family Buick after Joe relieved Stephanie of her virginity on the floor behind the eclair counter in the pastry shop in which she worked. Yet, when Plum and her pet hamster Rex are left homeless after their apartment is torched in FOUR TO SCORE, it's the extra room in Joe's house into which Stephanie moves. Will she and Joe find True Love before they kill each other?
Like its predecessors in the series, this book is exceeded in trashiness perhaps only by a lurid bodice-ripper. But, should you pick up a Stephanie Plum adventure, I virtually guarantee you a good time.
When the Sky Falls (Sous-titres fran�ais) [Import]

Veronica Guerin by another name
March 5 2004
This review is from:
When the Sky Falls (Sous-titres fran�ais) [Import] (DVD)
2003 saw the extraordinary Cate Blanchett star in VERONICA GUERIN in the title role of the Irish investigative reporter for "The Sunday Independent" who ran afoul of Dublin's criminal underworld and was murdered on June 26, 1996. WHEN THE SKY FALLS, starring Joan Allen and released three years earlier, is a fictionalized version of the same story.
It would be difficult to choose between the two films. Allen and Blanchett are two of the best actresses in the business. The latter brought more effervescence - perhaps too much - to the role. The former ratchets the glamour of the Guerin persona down a notch to a more credible level. Indeed, for the purpose of the story, Allen takes on a fictional identity - Sinead Hamilton.
Key events in the efforts by Guerin/Hamilton to expose those behind Dublin's illegal drug traffic are common to both productions: the invasion of Guerin's home by a pistol wielding thug who shot her in the leg as a warning, her beating by the mobster John Gilligan - here named "Dave Hackett" (Gerard Flynn), and her fatal shooting by a couple of motorcycle riders while her cherry red sports car was stationary at a stoplight. WHEN THE SKY FALLS places greater emphasis on the emotional support provided by her husband, here played by Kevin McNally, while VERONICA GUERIN is a bit grittier in its depiction of heroin's effects on young addicts. Both movies provide an unsparing look at the violence employed by those controlling the drug trade, both show the importance of criminal informants to Guerin's/Hamilton's information gathering, and both portray the uneasy but ultimately symbiotic relationship the reporter had with local law enforcement.
If I was forced to pick my favorite of the two films, I guess I'd have to go with VERONICA GUERIN simply because I'm so smitten with Cate Blanchett. But both are eminently watchable, and both are a tribute to the quixotic bravery of the woman who paid the ultimate price.

What the poolboy found
March 4 2004
This review is from:
Diabolique (The Criterion Collection) (DVD)
DIABOLIQUE is a cautionary tale about the need to keep your swimming pool clean, or not, depending on the state of your marriage.
Christina Delasalle (Vera Clouzot) owns a French boarding school for boys, which she runs with her husband Michel (Paul Meurisse). Also in residence is Michel's mistress, Nicole (Simone Signoret). The two women have become uneasy allies against Michel, who physically and emotionally abuses Christina. The two plot his murder.
Over a holiday weekend, during which the school will be deserted except for the caretaker, Nicole and Christina motor off to Nicole's primary residence in a town some miles away, the latter without Michel's permission. Once the women are at Nicole's place, Michel is called knowing he'll immediately come to retrieve his wayward wife without telling the caretaker. He does what's predicted. Some whiskey is drugged; Michel drinks it and falls asleep. The plotters subsequently drown the brute in the bathtub, placing a heavy bronze statue on his chest to keep him underwater overnight. The next day, the body is schlepped back to the school in a trunk-sized basket, and subsequently dumped into a swimming pool so filthy that the bottom is invisible. The working hypothesis is that once Michel floats to the surface, he'll be thought to have drowned there. But the corpse never appears and isn't part of the sludge at the bottom when the pool is drained, ostensibly to recover some lost keys. Uh-oh. And he looked mighty dead to me.
DIABOLIQUE probably worked better when it was originally released (1955). It was a simpler time. I really didn't become engaged with the plot until the water was drained from the pool and ... voila! The last third of the film provided an opportunity for mild intellectual curiosity, and the last ten minutes or so a modicum of suspense. Virtually useless was Alfred Fichet (Charles Vanel), the ex-police official turned detective, who leisurely investigates and makes Peter Falk's Columbo seem positively animated in comparison.
As a child of the latter half of the twentieth century, I can't but believe that special effects and color cinematography, combined with edgier sound, could produce a more knuckle-biting experience. (Ok, ok. I know that Sharon Stone did a panned remake of DIABOLIQUE in 1996. But I'm thinking of actresses of the caliber of, say, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett in the Christina and Nicole roles respectively.) Perhaps it's just because I resent the fact that the original version has been decribed as a "grisly, horror classic" when, to my mind, it's just dated and neither grisly nor horrific.

Where's Mo?

This review is from:
Three To Get Deadly: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm now three books into the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I've yet to be bored - even a little bit - and that's worth a five-star rating by itself. I get bored easily.
By now, klutzy Stephanie is settled into her career as a bounty hunter employed by her sleaze-ball cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman in beautiful Trenton, NJ, a job she took in desperation after being fired from her previous gig as a lingerie buyer. Her latest quarry is the affectionately-named Uncle Mo, the elderly, unmarried owner of the neighborhood ice cream and candy emporium, who skipped bail after being charged for carrying a concealed weapon - everyone in Trenton carries, it seems - by an overzealous cop on a traffic stop. In trying to track Mo down, Plum discovers that little is known about him by neighbors and relatives. But, Stephanie is considered Pond Scum by all for hounding a man akin to the Pope and Santa Claus all rolled into one. Then, local drug dealers start disappearing. And what's that putrid smell coming from the basement of Mo's store? As Stephanie delicately puts it, "Is it dookey?"
For me, the series hasn't become stale because Evanovich either brings to the forefront a tangential character from a previous novel, or inserts a brand new one into the plot. In THREE TO GET DEADLY, Lula, a reformed ho beaten and left for dead on Stephanie's fire escape month's before, now does filing for Vinnie and insists on "assisting" Plum on her takedowns. And we're initially introduced to Stephanie's former first husband, the shyster lawyer Dickie Orr. In the meantime, the sexual tension remains high between Stephanie and Joe Morelli, the exasperating Trenton plain-clothes cop whom the teenaged former once ran down with the family Buick after the teenaged latter despoiled Stephanie's maidenhood on the floor behind the eclair case of the local donut shop where she was working at the time.
The images conjured by Janet's prose are hilarious, as when Stephanie and her pet hamster Rex are beset by two thugs in her apartment and shots are fired. Her elderly neighbors pour forth to lend help with enough armament to have rescued Custer. Or when Stephanie struggles to apprehend a fugitive costumed as a chicken in a fast food joint.
I normally like to vary my reading, but I'm immediately jumping to Plum's next escapade, FOUR TO SCORE. Albeit frivolous, this is good stuff.

The Last Goodbye (Hardcover)
Isn't the pleasure a reader derives from a novel supposed to increase as the plot unfolds? THE LAST GOODBYE is unusual in that my interest steadily waned as I turned the pages. By the end, I was pretty much indifferent to the hero and the outcome.
Jack Hammond is a disgraced Atlanta lawyer reduced to acting as public defender for the urban scum hauled into court on drug and petty theft charges. (Hammond, who's a closet romantic with a weakness for damsels in distress, was summarily dropped from the roster of a high-powered law firm two years before after sleeping with a client's girlfriend.) When Jack learns that Doug, a down-and-almost-out friend with a substance abuse problem, apparently overdosed on an injectable drug, he realizes that something is wrong with the picture. Doug had a paranoid fear of needles. Was it foul play? Hammond subsequently discovers that his old pal was a computer hacker extraordinaire, and that he had an obsession with the gorgeous Michele Sonnier, a troubled young woman from the Atlanta ghetto turned brilliant and wildly successful opera singer married to Charles Ralston, the philanthropic and much revered head of Horizn Pharmaceuticals. Once Horizn debuts in the plot, and considering activist hand-wringing over the greed of the evil drug companies, the reader suspects where the storyline is going - and so it does.
It's not that THE LAST GOODBYE is awful. Why, even as recently as yesterday, it provided welcome distraction during the boring bits of a professional seminar I had to attend. But, for me, the characters never became real or garnered much sympathy. Hammond is supposed to be a lawyer, but he acts throughout like a private-eye wannabe; he never becomes sufficiently convincing as either. Minor characters that should have added zest to the story - Jack's Dumb Blonde secretary Blu and the antisocial computer outlaw Nightmare - don't really. Hammond's own preoccupation with the vulnerable Michele is torpid, and the affair slows the action down. Indeed, the final reckoning for the Bad Guys has all the knuckle-biting tension of a computer-enabled stock purchase. Worst of all for my overall opinion of the book, there are no twists clever and/or unsuspected enough to make me pause in admiration.
THE LAST GOODBYE is one of a multitude of similarly average potboilers that'll crowd the shelves of the brick-and-mortar booksellers, and which will ultimately end up on the discount tables of the clearance stores found in the outlet malls. Wait for its appearance at the latter and you'll only need to spend a couple bucks.
An Englishman in Paris: L'Education Continentale

An Englishman in Paris: L'Education Continentale (Hardcover)
Expat Brit Peter Mayle has written several delightfully witty books (A YEAR IN PROVENCE, TOUJOURS PROVENCE, ENCORE PROVENCE) describing his long residence in Provence in an old farm house that he and his wife fixed up. Peter contributes the preface to AN ENGLISHMAN IN PARIS written by lunch-buddy and fellow countryman Michael Sadler.
According to the book's back flap, Sadler now lives in Paris and Touraine with his French wife and their daughter. There's no time frame to AN ENGLISHMAN IN PARIS, but I gather that it recalls Michael's experience as a younger and still-single man during his first extended trip to Paris from his home in England.
Sadler's narrative contains some decidedly humorous moments, as when he transports a large wheel of odiferous cheese from point A to B. Or when he makes his first tremulous journey through that chaotic maelstrom of traffic known as the Place de l'Etoile. And when he must transfer his belongings from temporary hotel lodgings to a new apartment, and there's nowhere to park in front of the latter. Or his culinary introduction to such delicacies as beef testicles and pigs ears. Then there's his giddy affair with a married French woman.
Compared to Peter's volumes, however, Sadler isn't quite so relaxed. Perhaps it's the abundant energy and hormones of a younger man. At times, Michael's activities seem positively frenetic. Moreover, he introduces into the text many French phrases and sentences, the translations of which aren't always readily apparent as you read them, if at all. To be fair, there is a 5-page glossary of terms and colloquial expressions at the end. Language aside, chapter 28 is entirely incoherent (by design, I assume) - as if he was writing under the influence of some cooking sauce made with hallucinogenic mushrooms.
AN ENGLISHMAN IN PARIS is short - only 193 pages in a small hardcover format. Reading the book doesn't require a large investment of time. But, if you want something more satisfying about life as a foreigner in France, go first with Mayle.

A bland meal

This review is from:
Big Night [Import] (DVD)
I've seen BIG NIGHT described as "one of the great food movies". Let me clarify something here. The adjective "great" modifies "food", but not "movies".
Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and Secondo (Stanley Tucci) are Italian immigrant brothers who've opened the Paradise restaurant in an unidentified surfside town on the Eastern seaboard sometime in the 1950s. The elder Primo is a superlative chef, and both he and Secondo know it. But, Primo cooks to his desires and not the customers'. So, two years into the venture, the brothers are almost broke, the bank is about to repossess, and Secondo, the one with the business sense, is driven to despairing distraction.
Down the street is the competing Italian restaurant owned by Pascal (Ian Holm). While he admires Primo's talent, Pascal gives his patrons what they want, so his eatery is enormously successful. To help the boys out, Pascal arranges to have his friend, the Italian-American singer Louis Prima, come to the Paradise with his band for dinner. Secondo spends virtually the last of their savings preparing for the BIG NIGHT with the expectation that the event and its attendant publicity will yank them back from the brink of insolvency. In the meantime, he avoids emotional commitment to his girlfriend Phyllis (Minnie Driver) while having an affair with Gabriella (Isabella Rossellini), Pascal's mistress. After all, what are pals for?
The best bits of this film are the too infrequent cooking sequences. But the best ends there. BIG NIGHT doesn't know whether to be a drama or comedy, and succeeds at neither. The dialogue is flat and uninspired throughout, and the plot goes nowhere of interest. My wife, perhaps a dollop more impressed than I was, called the film a "character study". But no persona in this otherwise dull movie is engaging, and, indeed, I found Pascal's ebullient crassness positively annoying. About the only other good thing I can say about BIG NIGHT is that it uses as props some well-preserved, large tail-finned, period Cadillacs that will perhaps stimulate vintage car buffs.
Better films to rent that revolve around food preparation are MOSTLY MARTHA (2001) and EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN (1994). These, at least, portray characters to care about.

Battles of wits with the Whitehall wallahs
Feb. 21 2004
This review is from:
Sandbaggers: Season 1 (DVD)
The excellence of the BBC's THE SANDBAGGERS overcomes any quaintness of plotting that pits Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service against the machinations of the Evil Empire's KGB and its minions. Considering the menace of today's shadowy terrorist groups unaligned with any particular nation state, a return to the Cold War seems almost like the Good Old Days.
The "hero" of this television miniseries that aired in 1978 and 1980 is Neil Burnside (Roy Marsden), the wily, lonely, ruthless, testy, and driven Director of Operations, who works out of MI6's London headquarters in Century House. More specifically, Burnside oversees the "Sandbaggers", a trio of special agents available for covert operations against foreign enemies in the world's hotspots.
If you're expecting to see feats of derring-do reminiscent of 007, or even the Avengers, look elsewhere. Indeed, it's when the camera occasionally follows Neil's agents on their oversees exploits that the action gets clunky and amateurish. The essence of each episode's script lies back in London as we watch Burnside match wits with his immediate boss, SIS Deputy Chief Peele (Jerome Willis), and the agency's Director General (Richard Vernon), otherwise known as "C", both of whom Neil scornfully regards as bumbling incompetents, as well as with the meddling political wallahs in the Ministry of Defense and the Foreign Office. Who needs enemies with friends like these? And there's Neil's awkward relationship with Sir Geoffrey Wellingham (Alan MacNaughton), the urbane Permanent Undersecretary of State and the father of Burnside's estranged wife.
Perhaps the best episode in Set 1 is number 7, "Special Relationship", in which Neil dispatches Sandbagger Laura Dickens (Diane Keen) to East Berlin to retrieve some photographic intelligence from an agent-in-place. The mission turns into a personal disaster for Burnside in which the viewer first sees a human side to the Director.
THE SANDBAGGERS series nowhere approaches the superb BBC's productions of John Le Carre's TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY and SMILEY'S PEOPLE, both starring Alec Guinness. But, THE SANBAGGERS is an intriguing and intelligent depiction of the politics and backstage maneuvering of spycraft.

This review is from:
Scorched Earth (Paperback)
The venue for SCORCHED EARTH is Good Hope, Virginia, where blue-collar mill workers Elijah and Clara Waddell endure the anguish of parenting a deformed baby girl, Nora, an infant so handicapped that she dies in her mother's arms in the hospital delivery suite. The child is quickly put to rest in the cemetery of the Victory Baptist Church in the plot of Clara's maternal family line. But, there's a problem. For over two-hundred years, the congregation has been exclusively white. Nora is of mixed race, Elijah being Black and Clara Caucasian. Victory Baptist's thirteen deacon's subsequently vote, over the objections of the young pastor, the spiritually tortured Thomas Derby, to have the child exhumed and re-buried in the cemetery of the town's Baptist church for Blacks. The night after the exhumation, Victory Baptist is burned to the ground, and Elijah is arrested on-site for arson. Nat Deeds, a former county prosecutor who quit his job and fled Good Hope after his wife admitted to sleeping with another man, and who's now struggling to set up a private law practice in nearby Richmond, is pressured by the presiding judge to return to his birthplace and defend Elijah, who adamantly insists on his innocence. Deeds must now go up against his old boss, the posturing Ed Fentress, who's prosecuting for the commonwealth with the next election in mind. Nat hasn't a shred of a case, and it gets worse when the body of Amanda Talley, the teenage daughter of the county sheriff, is found in the burned rubble of the church. Amanda had apparently been raped, then burned in the fire.
I believed Elijah when he claimed to be innocent. Indeed, I immediately knew who did it. And, for a few pages near the end, it appeared I was right. Pretty darn smug I was, too. At that point, I would've extolled SCORCHED EARTH not as a mystery, but as story of three childhood acquaintances - Deeds, Derby, and Talley - grappling with personal demons. But a final plot twist at the end caught me completely broadside and made me feel the fool. I guess I should read more.
Robbin's has a flair for descriptive writing and an understanding of humanity. As an example:
"Mayhem is the by-product of civilization ... It's the effluent of good intentions, loyalties, contracts, desires, and love ... The quietest of us, the simplest of us ... is a keg. A fuse burns inside everyone. What is different in each man and woman is only the length of the fuse."
Robbins has previously written two superb novels of World War Two: WAR OF THE RATS and THE END OF WAR. Focusing on a vastly different milieu, SCORCHED EARTH is as good, or better, as anything John Grisham has written about local politics, race, and justice in the Old South. I can't recommend this book too highly.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

New Pope in Jesuit Order - A secret society older than the Illuminati or Templar Knights - Scripted Armagedon Looms Large
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Behind the righteous front of the Jesuit order hides elements of the secret government commonly referd to by "conspiracy theorists", as the Illuminati
"The Society of Jesus (Latin: Societas Iesu, S.J., SJ or SI) is a Christian male religious order of the Roman Catholic Church. The members are called Jesuits and are also known colloquially as "God's Marines", these being references to founder Ignatius of Loyola's military background and members' willingness to accept orders anywhere in the world and live in extreme conditions. The society is engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 nations on six continents. The society's founding principles are contained in the document Formula of the Institute, written by Ignatius of Loyola. Jesuits are known for their work in education (founding schools, colleges, universities and seminaries), intellectual research, and cultural pursuits, and for their missionary efforts. Jesuits also give retreats, minister in hospitals and parishes and promote social justice and ecumenical dialogue."
This may sound quite ridiculous but they have the perfect cover, afterall who would suspect Christs advocates of involvement in multi-generational conspiracies of destructive world wars and conquest to bring about a totalitarian New World Order .
Now that the Roman Catholic Church has throwned a Jesuit as the new Pope, the following text is esspecially relevant, and is a dire warning of the course we are on and the threat of staged Armaggedon

] Includes full text of of the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction
Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) has taken this blood oath going back to the seventies when he was the "Provincial" of the Argentinian Jesuit Order
"Go ye, then, into all the world and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-Regent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated."
Professor Arthur Noble
The text of the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction as recorded in the Journals of the 62nd Congress, 3rd Session, of the United States Congressional Record (House Calendar No. 397, Report No. 1523, 15 February, 1913, pp. 3215-3216), from which it was subsequently torn out. The Oath is also quoted by Charles Didier in his book Subterranean Rome (New York, 1843), translated from the French original. Dr. Alberto Rivera, who escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967, confirms that the induction ceremony and the text of the Jesuit Oath is acurate.
When a Jesuit of the minor rank is to be elevated to command, he is conducted into the Chapel of the Convent of the Order, where there are only three others present, the principal or Superior (Black Pope) standing in front of the altar. On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of yellow and white, which are the Papal colours, and the other a black banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with the word INRI, and below them the words IUSTUM NECAR REGES IMPIUS. The meaning of which is: It is just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or Rulers.

I am using the Ubuntu document viever Evince. Lately, I found out how to add custom keyboard shortcuts for the program. I was searching for a way to add a shortcut e.g. for View / Best fit (also available as a button). What I found was the Keyboard shortcut page which describes how to setup shortcuts using gconf-editor. That worked as described. However, once I restart my system the shortcuts are gone. How can I set them permanently?
For Ubuntu 12.04 and up:
Use dconf-editor instead of gconf-editor
Then set dconf>org>gnome>desktop>interface>can-change-accels to true

Follow the links to pages with detailed information about each game.
Our hottest game for the last decade has been Munchkin. Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you see. Take all the treasure. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. First one to Level 10 wins!
Whatever your favorite style of game is – science fiction, zombies (with you as the zombies!), Lovecraftian horror, or end-of-the-world adventure – there's probably a Munchkin set to support it! Check the Munchkin Games page to stay up to date on all our Munchkin releases!
Destroy the humans! Take their cities! Conquer Earth!
In Mars Attacks: The Dice Game, lead your team of Martian invaders to conquer Earth. Destroy cities, get your picture taken in front of famous monuments, and be the Martian with the most Earthling kills! But watch out, because the Earthlings might nuke you . . .
Mars Attacks — The Dice Game is a fast-playing, tactical dice game based on the Mars Attacks trading cards by Topps.
Serving Cthulhu is fun . . . except for all those other cultists out to get you. So get them first!
Cthulhu Dice lets you drive your rivals mad . . . very, very quickly. Players take turns rolling the big, beautiful, custom 12-sided die, embossed with tentacles, Elder Signs, and more. Destroy your opponents' sanity! Better yet, steal it. But watch out for Cthulhu – when he comes up, he takes sanity from everyone! Eighteen glass Sanity marbles are included. Lose all your marbles and you're mad. The last sane cultist wins . . . unless everyone goes mad together. Then Cthulhu wins!
Cthulhu Dice plays in 5 to 10 minutes, and is fun for 2 to 6 players.
For bigger, squishier fun, check out Giant Cthulhu Dice – same quick play, now with 4" foam dice!
Eat brains. Don't get shotgunned.
You are a zombie. You want braaains. More brains than any of your zombie buddies.
Zombie Dice is fast and easy for any zombie fan (or the whole zombie family). The 13 custom dice are your victims. Push your luck to eat their brains, but stop rolling before the shotgun blasts end your turn!
Two or more can play. Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes, and can be taught in a single round.
The first expansion, Zombie Dice 2 – Double Feature, introduces three character dice: the Hunk, the Hottie, and Santa Claus!
The second expansion, Zombie Dice 3 – School Bus, stars the big yellow "school bus" die!
Zombie Dice won the Origins Award for Best Family, Party or Children's Game of 2010.
Chez Geek is the game of apartment life. Will your roommates drive you crazy . . . or will you drive them crazy first? Illustrated by John Kovalic, this won the Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game in 2000. The current version, Chez Geek: House Party Edition, combines the original game and its first two expansions into one deluxe set! There's also Slack to the Future, which brings the insanity of the Internet Age to your game, as if you didn't have enough problems.
Other games in the Chez line put a new spin on living with roommates. Chez Goth serves up the Chez lifestyle with extra angst and lots of eyeliner! In Chez Guevara, you and your roommates all follow the Glorious Leader, camp out in the jungle, and try to Slack your way back to civilization! And in Chez Cthulhu, everyone goes mad as they plumb the depths of the Mythos in search of Slack!
Car Wars is the classic game of highway combat, first released in 1980, and winner of many awards. The latest release is Car Wars Classic, reintroducing the joys of autoduelling to a whole new generation of gamers! Play a head-to-head duel, a highway ambush, or a multi-car free-for all under the bright lights of the arena! Drive Offensively in a world where the right of way goes to the biggest guns.
Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now Munchkin Quest brings the action to the gameboard!
Cooperate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it . . . then another room is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends. Reach Level 10, and then get out alive if you can!
Trouble means gold. Trouble means leveling up. And with Munchkin Quest 2 – Looking for Trouble, you can find trouble with up to six players. More help against the monsters! More friends to backstab! More competition for the loot! Whoops, forget we said that last bit.
Illuminati was one of our first hot games, and it continues to be a best-seller! First released in 1982, this classic game was upgraded to the full-color deluxe version you see today. There have been four supplements – Y2K, Brainwash, Bavarian Fire Drill, and most recently, Mutual Assured Distraction – and one spin-off – Illuminati: Crime Lords.
GURPS has been the leading "universal" game system for almost three decades, and is now well into its fourth edition. You can roleplay in any background using just the
GURPS Basic Set . . . but we've released in excess of 250 other GURPS Third Edition supplements, most still useful with GURPS Fourth Edition, and there are over 150 GURPS Fourth Edition titles available, with more appearing every month, thanks to both print releases and PDFs sold by our online store, Warehouse 23.
GURPS continues to cover the broadest range of topics for roleplaying, anywhere! Some supplements – like
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy,
GURPS Horror, and
GURPS Supers – tackle genres. Others present historical material:
GURPS Aztecs,
GURPS Greece,
GURPS SEALs in Vietnam, and many more. And still others offer settings, from our own GURPS Banestorm and
GURPS Infinite Worlds to licensed properties such as the
Discworld and Vorkosigan
roleplaying games. To support all this, we offer rules expansions like
GURPS Martial Arts and
GURPS Powers, and equipment and vehicle catalogs such as
GURPS High-Tech,
GURPS Spaceships, and
GURPS Ultra-Tech.
And because GURPS is one consistent rules set, from one professional publisher, all of these supplements work well together, whatever combination you pick. Buy GURPS books to play . . . or as sourcebooks for other systems . . . or just to read and enjoy.

Homomorphic encryption allows arithmetic operations to be performed on ciphertext and gives the same result as if the same arithmetic operation is done on the plaintext. Homomorphic encryption has been touted as one of the promising methods to be employed in Smart Grid (SG) to provide data privacy which is one of the main security concerns in SG. In addition to data privacy, real-time data flow is crucial in SG to provide on-time detection and recovery of possible failures. In this paper, we investigate the overhead of using homomorphic encryption in SG in terms of bandwidth and end-to-end data delay when providing data privacy. Specifically, we compare the latency and data size of end-to-end (ETE) and hop-by-hop (HBH) homomorphic encryption within a network of Smart Meters (SMs). In HBH encryption, at each intermediate node, the received encrypted data from downstream nodes are decrypted first before the aggregation, and then the result is encrypted again for transmission to upstream nodes. On the other hand, the intermediate node in ETE encryption only performs aggregation on ciphertexts for transmission to upstream nodes. We implemented secure data aggregation using Paillier cryptosystem and tested it under various conditions. The experiment results have shown that even though HBH homomorphic encryption has additional computational overhead at intermediate nodes, surprisingly it provides comparable latency and fixed data size passing through the network compared to ETE homomorphic encryption.

Tame, middle-of-the-road, plot-oriented porn, set in the Rebel Without a Cause era of the 1950s. Of the vid's four skimpy sex scenes, three are one-on-one hetero couplings, while the fourth is a two-girl, one-guy triad. No matter what the numbers, though, they just don't add up to wood.

|Featured Account Options
American Express Bank is the banking component of the American Express Company, a publicly traded financial services firm (NYSE: AXP). The American Express brand is known mainly for its credit card and traveler's cheque business, but since 2000 has offered several bank deposit accounts. The company's credit card and banking businesses operate separately for the most part. Because there are no physical bank branches, American Express Bank's deposit accounts generally offer higher rates of interest than its brick and mortar counterparts.
In the way of personal banking, American Express Bank offers two account possibilities: high-yield savings accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CDs). The high-yield savings account typically earns one of the highest interest rates in the country and is easy to open electronically. The savings account comes with no fees, nor a minimum balance requirement and allows ACH transfers to and from the account at no additional cost. DepositAccounts.com has featured this savings account on multiple occasions for its competitive interest rate and flexibility. Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are available and in term lengths ranging from 6 to 60 months. CDs also have no fees and no minimums and can be easily opened electronically through an online application process. Automatic transfers can be set up to fund either the savings account or the CD, and depositing by check is also an option. DepositAccounts.com reported in 2009 on the bank's transition from their Savings Accelerator account that was tied to the AmEx credit card, to the new high-yield savings account, which is a "standalone" account.
American Express Bank online banking provides a convenient platform on which account holders can view their transaction history and set up electronic fund transfers. The bank's web-based system makes the application process quick and simple, and the website makes it easy to switch from a card account to a deposit account.
American Express Bank was originally established in 2000 and is a subsidiary of the American Express Company, a bank holding company located in New York, NY. The bank is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and offers its savings products exclusively via its Internet platform. The American Express Company is also know as AmEx and was founded in 1850 by Henry Wells and William Fargo, the same founders who started Wells Fargo Bank.
My banking experience with American Express Bank has always been one of ease, comfort, no stress, and no frustrations. Their customer service has always been extremely helpful and professional. They actually seem like they know what their doing and are well informed on how the American Express Banking system works. American Express Bank, in my opinion, has always been an institution that cares about their customers. They care about your concerns and your financial future. The tellers are always extremely friendly, and online baking, along with their banking app, is so user friendly (which is good for me because when it comes to technology I'm completely lost). I'v signed up with a few other banks throughout my life, and I can safely say that AMEX has acquired a customer for life in me.
Our family has had an American Express Savings Account for 3 years now and love it. The set up of the account was quick and easy. We were looking for a good interest rate since all the brick and mortar banks around us paid almost nothing (.01%). After doing some research, we choose American Express and set up our account since they offered free transfers and a good interest rate (.90%). I am able to transfer money from our brick and mortar banks checking account directly to our savings account for free, and the money shows up the next day. I am also able to transfer money from the savings account to our checking account, free of charge, and it shows up normally within 2 days. We like having the other options a brick and mortar bank offers (deposit box, notary services, etc.), so AMEX's savings account plus our traditional checking account at our B&M bank makes a perfect pair.
I opened an account with American Express Savings bank over two years ago. I liked them because they had one of the best rates. Better than my other bank of just .10 percent interest. They remain very competitive with other Banks and are currently offering a .90% savings rate on my money. This return is not great but much better than any other bank I have found. There online banking is very easy to access and I would strongly recommend to anyone who is looking to get a better rate on there money. Additionally there are no hidden fees with this bank as well. Which many banks now days try to hide these hidden fees American express bank is up front and honest. If you do not have a savings account I would strongly recommend this bank to anyone. Additionally with their very professional customer service I would recommend transferring my account to American Express bank.
I have really enjoyed having savings with American Express. I was really surprised that I would enjoy banking here, as I thought they were only known for their credit cards. I was able to open my account easily, and when I had a question regarding future savings, and interest rates, I was able to call and get right through. All of my questions were answered in a polite manner that was easy to understand. I am confident with my money being safe, and have really enjoyed the app on my phone as well. I appreciate that there is also no minimum amount required here like some other banks. I get the feel that I am part of an elite group of people, but I am not penalized for living life if I have to take the money out for something. Overall, I would say that the product is excellent, the usability is excellent, and the customer service is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone who is trying to save!

Google Mobile Phone with OLED Display and Android 2.1
Google has presented its Android mobile phone to the public. What's special about the Nexus One is the 3.5" touchscreen with an OLED display resolving at 800 x 480 pixels and the newest Android 2.1 (Eclair).
The Nexus One has some advantages over the iPhone. The device is some millimeters flatter and its integrated wireless adapter supports the faster 802.11n standard. Even the display with its 800 x 480 pixels provides a markedly better resolution than the iPhone's 480 x 320 pixels, although Android fans will have to forego multitouch support for the moment.
The device marketed and sold by Google is produced by mobile phone maker HTC, which already has a few Android devices in its repertoire, among them the first Google phone.
The Nexus One will be distributed at first in the U.S. (T-Mobile and Verizon) and England (Vodafone). With a two-year contract, the device should cost under $200 in the U.S., without a service plan, about $530. The Nexus One should become available in Europa in the spring of 2010.
