Outside of Martin Scorsese's masterful Goodfellas, 1990 was a pretty bland year for films. People still talk about Dances With Wolves, likely because it won Best Picture, but how often do you hear people talk about Reversal of Fortune on a daily basis?
62 lists were compiled for 1990.
20. Landscapes in the Mist (8 lists; 3 top spots)
"If the overall tone is bleak in its portayal of betrayals, loneliness and disillusionment, Angelopoulos' assured control of mood, Giorgos Arvanitis' superb camerawork, and the kids' glowing performances provide ample pleasures." – Geoff Andrew, Time Out
18. Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (9 lists)
"It's something altogether new for Kurosawa, a collection of short, sometimes fragmentary films that are less like dreams than fairy tales of past, present and future. The magical and mysterious are mixed with the practical, funny and polemical." – Vincent Canby, New York Times
18. Wild at Heart (9 lists)
"This winner of the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or is a lunatic road movie seething with the same dark intensity that animates director Lynch's earlier work." – TV Guide's Movie Guide
17. Life and Nothing But (9 lists; 2 top spots)
"A masterfully directed film, exquistely acted by Azéma and Vidal." – Greg Muskewitz, eFilmCritic.com
15. The Nasty Girl (10 lists; 1 top spot)
"Germany's Oscar nominated film is an intriguing but flawed tale of a Bavarian girl who digs into the past and reveals undesirable facts about her town's "respectale" citizens during the Nazi era." – Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.com
15. Sweetie (10 lists; 1 top spot)
"It's hard to sum up Sweetie, which happens to be one of the movie's strengths." – Desson Thomson, Washington Post
13. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (11 lists)
"The difference between John McNaughton's incredibly chilling film and the usual serving of screen carnage is the difference between the mind of a murderer and the cynical and manipulative depiction of mindless murder." – Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
13. Vincent & Theo (11 lists)
"The enjoyment in Vincent and Theo comes more from the director's attention to art history than from his ability to interpret it anew." – Janet Maslin, New York Times
12. Awakenings (12 lists; 1 top spot)
"Williams gives his best "straight" performance, shorn of all his marvelous manic vaudeville. The man he plays here is not a performer, which he was even in Dead Poets Society, but simply a man." – Stanley Kaufman, The New Republic
11. The Grifters (12 lists; 2 top spots)
"Donald Westlake's excellent screenplay does some justice to the starkness of Jim Thompson's novel; and Frears' direction never fails to grab the attention." – Stephen Garrett, Time Out
10. Monsieur Hire (13 lists)
"Helmer Patrice Leconte's early effort is one of his best. (The spilled-tomatoes-on-the-staircase scene between the mismatched admirers is an unforgettable ode to seduction.)" – Brandon Judell, Culture Catch
8. Metropolitan (14 lists; 1 top spot)
"Whit Stillman's crafty independent feature about wealthy Park Avenue teenagers and a middle-class boy who joins their ranks over one Christmas vacation is certainly well imagined, and impressively acted by a cast of newcomers." – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
8. To Sleep With Anger (14 lists; 1 top spot)
"Burnett's acute and sensitive direction is free of hackneyed movie conventions; even something as simple as a hello is said differently from the way you've heard it in any other movie." – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
7. The Godfather, Part III (19 lists; 1 top spot)
"The movie, a heady thicket of political intrigue and double crosses, is slower, talkier, and more prosaic than the first two films, and its narrative seams sometimes show. And yet it's more than the sum of its mazelike convolutions." – Owen Gleibermann, Entertainment Weekly
6. Edward Scissorhands (20 lists)
"Burton's modern fairytale has an almost palpably personal feel: it is told gently, subtly and with infinite sympathy for an outsider who charms the locals but then inadvertently arouses their baser instincts." – Marc Lee, Daily Telegraph
5. Avalon (22 lists; 2 top spots)
"Tracing the fortunes and misfortunes of an extended family of Jewish immigrants, this melancholy memory film is too soft and episodic, lacking the narrative focus of either Diner or Tin Men, which form a trilogy." – Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.com
4. Miller's Crossing (23 lists; 1 top spot)
"Substance is here in spades, along with the twisted, brilliantly controlled style on which filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen made a name." – Variety
3. Reversal of Fortune (32 lists; 2 top spots)
"Irons founds his adroit performance, from cadaverous countenance to crooked pinky, on strangled passion and noblesse oblige. And astonishingly, he manages to make old Claus oddly pathetic, even sympathetic." – Rita Kempley, Washington Post
2. Dances With Wolves (32 lists; 6 top spots)
"Costner tells a personal story that never loses touch with the vast Western spaces encompassing and defining it. Dances With Wolves is an epic that breathes. And it's a beauty." – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
1. Goodfellas (50 lists; 10 top spots)
"One remains detached from the characters, but Scorsese succeeds in smashing all the foolishly romantic myths about the mob with this shocking, vigorously honest portrait of a slick yuppie gangster who couldn't stand being "an average nobody."" – Kathleen Carroll, New York Daily News

A federal judge in New Orleans has dismissed a whistleblower lawsuit filed last year against St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff Mike Tregre by his former chief deputy, who alleged he was terminated after raising questions about a network of hidden cameras in the sheriff's interrogation rooms.
U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier's ruling, issued Thursday, came a year after a State Police investigation concluded that the cameras did not necessarily violate state law, although it said the equipment could have been used improperly.
In his 21-page ruling outlining his reasons for dismissing the lawsuit, Barbier said neither side disputed that the Sheriff's Office's three interrogation rooms were equipped to record audio and video. But Barbier said Tregg Wilson's lawsuit did not meet the needed benchmarks for securing a First Amendment defense for speaking out about his concerns because he was doing so as a high-ranking Sheriff's Office official, not a private citizen.
"If the court finds that the employee did not speak as a citizen on a matter of public concern, there is no First Amendment protection," Barbier wrote.
By virtue of his position, Wilson was required to report the cameras if he believed they were being used for potentially illegal recordings, and his actions were part of his job responsibilities, the judge said.
Tregre declared victory Monday. "The investigation and the judge's ruling both confirmed that we were conducting business properly, as it is supposed to be done," he said.
As part of his probe, the State Police investigator who filed the report, Trooper Oliver Jackson, contacted officials in three district attorneys' offices, who said they thought the hidden cameras — which have since been removed — did not violate the law because there is "no expectation of privacy within an interview room of a police or sheriff's department."
But the cameras "could very well violate the law if used in an unlawful manner," the report added.
"I was informed that an example of misuse would be for law enforcement to intentionally place an attorney and his client in an interview room, and secretly record the conversation of privileged information divulged by the suspect to his attorney for the purpose of furthering their investigation," Jackson wrote.
The report said no evidence surfaced that detectives resorted to such trickery, or even thought about it.
Tregre, who took office in July 2012, said the equipment was installed by his predecessor and he was unaware of it until months before the lawsuit was filed by Wilson, a lawyer and formerly Tregre's chief deputy.
Wilson told Jackson he had learned that the department's interrogation rooms were rigged with hidden cameras that ran on a continuous feed. Though the cameras were designed to capture interviews of criminal suspects, Wilson noted that they might also record conversations between suspects and their attorneys — which would be illegal and could jeopardize criminal prosecutions.
The backup cameras were motion-activated, court filings show.
The audio and video were captured on a server and retained for 30 days.
Tregre filed for summary judgment dismissing the suit on Aug. 12, and Barbier granted it last week. Wilson said Monday that he expected to appeal the judge's ruling.

Restart for Solidification
I am facing a problem with restart for solidification.
After filling the die when I am giving restart for solidification after few time steps its shows the solid fraction as 1 or 0 and the temperature also goes to some maximum value and some where it goes to zero.Thus after few more iterations it shoes negative temperature and the solution ends.
I am using the same grid(multi mesh block) for restart.
I am keeping the air entrainment model on even during solidification and turning on the density as the function of temperature and scalar(solute).
Segregation model is on during filling as well as during solidification.
What all things should be taken care of when giving a restart?
What are your boundary conditions for the restart do you still have velocity?
hi melissa!
thanks for replying..here is the further explanation...
No ,I am using symmetry boundary conditions,I used a shot sleeve arrangement to fill the die and the boundaries and the boundary conditions remains same.I give restart little before the complete filling and in the restart simulation after few time steps the piston attains 0 velocity.Also the pressure iterations do not converge as the piston is still pushing the fluid after the die is completely filled.So after some iterations compressibility is invoked.I am switching on the density as a function of temperature and scalar(solute) only in the restart.
The simulation is terminated with " negative fluid temperature" message.Also the temperature before goes to value near Melting point of the pure Solvent in most of the parts and remaining it shows zero temperature.Also the solution well runs for zero velocity field.
1)Is this due to failure of pressure iterations,but I do not see any relation?
2)Air Entrainment Model should be used while modeling solidification or not?
3)Restart based on temperature and internal energy have any effect on the solution?
4)Having multi mesh blocks during solidification creates problem..?
It seems that the temperature and internal energy and thus the solid fraction are not calculated properly.
The reason for the pressure iterations is such that since you have a velocity boundary at the restart fluid will continue to be pushed through causing pressure iterations. Use fill fraction for fill conditions when filling. Model setup tab.
Then for restart turn off the density evaluation and set the boundary to symmetry.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Deus Ex' started by AstralGlider, Oct 12, 2011.
Check it out guys, tell me what you think?
Good review overall. A couple things... You don't mention that this review is for XBOX 360. The game play is slightly different for PC. There is not a glowing yellow CLICK ME surrounding everything on PC. Finding walls to punch through on the first play through can sometimes be a challenge as all you can see are cracks. Which computers and monitors you can use is also not obvious until you touch them. The controller differences are obvious.
Great use of video and narration. Seemed like you were bouncing a little in the beginning but still better than standing stiff as a board.
Difficulty is hard to judge. If you are charging ahead it can be tough to get places but going with stealth negates the harder areas (since there is ALWAYS a way to go around).
Right on with the animations but I think some were great while others were so-so. I thought it warranted less of a penalty to the score (since you liked everything else).
Solid, keep up the good work!
No GIMPed vision for PC?
Xbox 360
Now that I think about it I played on Give Me Deus Ex so maybe that took away things like the glowing gimme hints. That was my primary issue with Invisible War. It was so dumbed down for console. At least this one seems like they played pretty close to the same way.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll take it on board.
I wrote a review as well @ http://majamaki.com/2011/09/deus-ex-human-revolution/ - loved the game and look forward to seeing what they do next.
Uh, you can disable that on console.

The Floridian Republic of Islandiais a nation off the coast of Florida and the successor to the now defunct National Republic of Florida. It once controlled a large portion of South Florida, but lost all but Islandia in the Floridian Unification War to South Florida.
Islandia was a micro-city in Miami-Dade County. Although it officially was a city, its population never rose above 20. It was the result of a failed agricultural project after environmentalists declared it an abomination to Florida's wildlife.
A New Florida
In 1990, the area came under the control of the military stratocracy of the "National Republic of Florida". The area was very much neglected, although some infrastructure repair did occur. The area would become of much importance in the final days of the Floridian Unification War. Floridian Unification War During the last stages of the Floridian Unification War, the scant few remaining government officials of the National Republic of Florida evacuated to Islandia. The area, always very much neglected was immediately put into a reconstruction era, while also attempting to organize a militia to combat the South Floridians. The attack, however, never came, although a peace treaty did. The war was officially finished under the following:
- The National Republic of Florida must recognize the Republic of South Florida as the new legitamate government of all of South Florida.
- The Republic of South Florida recognizes National Florida's control over Islandia.
- Both nations may cooperate in economics and politics.
- Citizens may be given a two year period to freely travel and decide on a residency. After that, they may no longer leave the country of choice without a passport and proper documents.
- Unification may not be brought up until the year 2030.
- National Florida must subject to regime changes and the creation of a government truly elected by the people.
- South Florida must repair all structures in Southeast Florida by 2015.
- Both nations may allow refugees from the Miami Urban Area to settle in their nation.
The Present Day
Since the Floridian Unification War, Islandia has healed significantly. With electricity having since been restored to the island, and it becoming a port hub for ships crossing into the Caribbean, its success is thanks to the ones that nearly destroyed the mainland part of the nation.
The island, once home to no economic activity whatsoever, is now a vital port for those crossing the Atlantic. It relies on mainly tariffs, ship manufacturing, and unloading or reloading ships. Agriculture is a very small presense, since most food is brought from afar.
The government of Islandia is a presidential stratocracy, which means that the military, most of whom are the National Guard Exiles, hold higher privilages than civilians. Since only a small part of the island is inhabited, a president leads the island's foreign affairs, while it is truly governed by the mayor.

Wow. As much as Google has been in the news lately for privacy concerns arising from its different product offerings, I never thought I'd see this one. I'm glad Google immediately did the right thing. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
PCWorld.com reported Wednesday that the search giant fired an engineer in July for inappropriately accessing the Google Voice, Gmail and Google chat records belonging to several teenage users. David Barksdale had access to the databases in which chat logs and Gmail were stored because he was a site reliability engineer.
According to Google SVP Bill Coughran, the company "carefully controls" the number of people who have access to its systems and the accounts of users, but "a limited number of people will always need to access these systems" if they are to operate properly.
It's true that security controls and processes are always important, as are periodic reviews of those controls and audits to ensure they are doing what they were put in place to do. But no matter what those controls are and how often they are audited, they cannot control every element-particularly not the human element.
Good for Goggle, this shows considerable concern for their clients.Reply

Ryan Pace, Thursday at Halas Hall. (Photo Credit: @ChicagoBears)
The Chicago Bears on Thursday took the most important step in rebuilding their franchise with the hiring of Ryan Pace as general manager:
BREAKING: The #Bears have hired Ryan Pace as their new general manager.
Pace replaces the recently fired Phil Emery as Bears general manager, and becomes the sixth general manager in Bears franchise history.
— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) January 8, 2015
Just 37 years old (making him the youngest general manager in the NFL), Pace spent the last 14 seasons as a member of the New Orleans' Saints front office, with a focus in the Saints' player personnel department, and actually served as their director of player personnel in the final two seasons.
Here are the players the Saints drafted in the two years Pace held the title of director of player personnel:
15. Kenny Vaccaro
75. Terron Armstead
82. John Jenkins
144. Kenny Stills
183. Rufus Johnson
20. Brandin Cooks
58. Stanley Jean-Baptiste
126. Khairi Fortt
167. Vinnie Sunseri
169. Ronald Powell
202. Tavon Rooks
Over Pace's time in New Orleans, the Saints put together a 115-93 record, reached the playoffs six times since 2006, and of course won the Super Bowl in 2009.
Larry Holder of The Times-Picayune took a great look in 2013 at the players signed by the Saints in free agency since 2006, headlined by quarterback Drew Brees.
The Pace hiring came as a surprise, as Kansas City Chiefs director of player personnel Chris Ballard was considered the heavy favorite for the Bears' general manager job. The Bears also interviewed Houston Texans director of pro personnel Brian Gaine, and Tennessee Titans vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson.
Even though Ballard was considered the favorite for the job, the reaction to the Bears hiring Pace has been very positive for the most part. Here's a sampling of reactions and other interesting tidbits in regards to the hiring:
I'm told Bears were on verge of hiring Ballard but Pace blew them away in his interview. Team went other direction.
— Jeremy Stoltz (@BearReport) January 8, 2015
#Bears source: Team really liked Ballard, but wanted to break from the past, and Pace better articulated big picture, multi-year plan.
— Dan Bernstein (@dan_bernstein) January 8, 2015
#Bears source: Ryan Pace was assured of complete control of the football operation.
— Dan Bernstein (@dan_bernstein) January 8, 2015
Chris Ballard had a good interview Wed., but there were concerns about his connections with old regime. #Bears
— Jeff Dickerson (@ESPNChiBears) January 8, 2015
Ryan Pace is a fantastic hire by the Bears. He's been ready for years but always wanted to wait for his dream spot. Great move
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 8, 2015
Ryan Pace is a major loss for the #Saints organization, the most talented young talent evaluator in the building. Great hire by Bears.
— Jeff Duncan (@JeffDuncan_) January 8, 2015
Rival exec on Bears' hire of GM Ryan Pace: "Excellent. Coaches love him. Good pro guy. Hard worker. Very conscientious."
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 8, 2015
Have heard nothing but positive things for quite a while about new Bears GM Ryan Pace. Bright young executive
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 8, 2015
Chicago Bears fans.. Trust me, Ryan Pace is a name u may not know, but this guy is the real deal and ur very lucky to have him as ur new GM!
— Brett Tessler (@TesslerSports) January 8, 2015
Sense I'm getting from talking to league folks is that hiring Ryan Pace is surprising, but that he's bright, forward-thinking and capable.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) January 8, 2015
I hear really good things about Ryan Pace. I love giving young guys their shots.
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) January 8, 2015
I asked a few current and former Saints players about Ryan Pace and they all loved him. Key will be hiring right college scouting staff.
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) January 8, 2015
New #Bears GM Ryan Pace was a 4-year letterman at Eastern Illinois as a defensive end. He was a captain his senior year.
— Sean Jensen (@seankjensen) January 8, 2015
Interesting tidbit: Pace and Tony Romo played together one season at Eastern Illinois.
— Michael C. Wright (@mikecwright) January 8, 2015
E. Illinois representing coaches/GM- M. Shanahan, S. Payton, M. Heimerdinger, B. Childress, & now Ryan Pace #Bears Romo & Garoppolo too
— Trent Dilfer (@TDESPN) January 8, 2015
#Saints GM Mickey Loomis said after season Ryan Pace was ready to be a GM. "He's talented. I would expect to lose him at some point."
— Sean Jensen (@seankjensen) January 8, 2015
Sean Payton on Ryan Pace at end of season, according to Times-Picayune: "He is really good at what he does. He's a big part of what we do."
— Sean Jensen (@seankjensen) January 8, 2015
Ryan Pace GM Chicago Bears. Awesome guy. One of my all time favorite Saints personnel. Sad to see him leave NOLA. Good luck Ryan!
— steve gleason (@TeamGleason) January 8, 2015
Ex-EIU coach Bob Spoo on Ryan Pace: "As good a young man as you'd ever want to meet. Integrity. Personality. A great team citizen."
— Mark Potash (@MarkPotash) January 8, 2015
The Bears hiring of Ryan Pace, 37, was a minor surprise, but I like it quite a bit. No required age on quality talent evaluators. He is one.
— Dion Caputi (@nfldraftupdate) January 8, 2015
Saints blocked Pace from talking with Miami last year as he still was under contract. Deal was up after '14 so Saints couldn't stop Pace.
— Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) January 8, 2015
Nobody knows if the Bears got it right with Ryan Pace. But he's someone other teams wanted. Turned down interviews with Jets, Dolphins.
— Mark Potash (@MarkPotash) January 8, 2015
Ryan Pace was a Saints scout when they signed Drew Brees. #Bears
— Joe Ostrowski (@JoeO670) January 8, 2015
Whether GM or head coach, Bears have rarely gone young with hire in past. This is a clear departure from the status quo. George's impact?
— DaBearsBlog (@dabearsblog) January 8, 2015
If the #Bears were wowed by Ryan Pace, despite their ties to Chris Ballard, good for them for being bold. Both seem like a good hire.
— Patrick Finley (@patrickfinley) January 8, 2015
Saints lose Ryan Pace to the Bears. Big loss for them, but great for him. Great guy, was a big asset to the team.
— Katherine Terrell (@Kat_Terrell) January 8, 2015
Per #Saints media new #Bears Pace responsible for unearthing guys like jermon bushrod, jahri evans, marques colston and pierre thomas.

Some Saints who will be UFAs this offseason who have familiarity w/ Pace: Mark Ingram, Robert Meachem, Patrick Robinson & Parys Haralson
— Matt Eurich (@MattEurich) January 8, 2015
Now, Pace has his hands full dealing with a roster that is coming off an embarrassing 5-11 season and is greatly lacking long-term assets (in my opinion, Alshon Jeffery, Kyle Long, and Kyle Fuller are the only Bears players under contract that you really feel good about three+ years down the road). It will especially be interesting to see what Pace envisions for the Bears at the quarterback position, and if he has anything to say about it in his introductory press conference on Friday, as Matt Eurich points out:
Pretty sure we won't hear Pace discuss Cutler's future in much detail tomorrow, but I am curious to hear what, if anything, he says about 6
— Matt Eurich (@MattEurich) January 8, 2015
Oh, and then there's the whole issue of the Bears not having a head coach yet either (kind of a big deal). And Pace didn't wait very long to make himself a part of those efforts, as he reportedly was a part of the Bears' interviewing of Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles on Thursday:
New Bears GM Ryan Pace wasting no time jumping into job: taking part in Chicago's interview of Todd Bowles.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 8, 2015
So, Pace is going to be a very, very busy man and we will get a great idea of his overall plan and vision on Friday in his 11 AM CT introductory press conference at Halas Hall.

From its county population in 2000 of 7609 to its current population estimate of 8223, the county has experienced a growth change of 614.
Atkinson County is named for William Y. Atkinson, Georgia's governor in the late 1890s, the county was created in 1917 from parts of Clinch and Coffee counties.
Early industry in Atkinson County depended on the pine forests covering much of the land. Logging operations used the Satilla River to float timber to the coast. Later, farming (tobacco, corn, and poultry) displaced logging as the central economic activity.
Pearson, was named to honor Benjah Pearson who served in the Indian War of 1838.
Points of Interest
Completed in 1920, the courthouse in Atkinson County is located in Pearson, the county seat. Built in a Neoclassical Revival style, the courthouse was renovated during the early 1980s.

Replacement, curious to see the shellacking you'd be putting on Ray if he had a performance like Reilly had tonight. How come do you think he's unable to progress through two reads before getting happy feet and losing composure in the pocket? O-Line gave him plenty of time tonight. 60 yards in the second half? And half of that came on one throw. Ouch. Overthrows, underthrows, throwing into triple coverage, unable to pick up dropping LB's covering crossing seams. I'm really getting worried about the noticeable lack of ability to show any progression in reading a defense if he's not able to scramble and/or their coverage breaks down. 5 games in now and Reilly has yet to take command of this offense. Fred Stamps is being utilized just about as well as Chad Johnson is being utilized in Montreal... that is to say, not at all.
As for the they blocked it once, they'll block it again hypothesis... Sharun completely **** the bed on that blocked punt. Completely whiffed on his assignment. There is no reason why one players missed assignment would instil fear in a coach making a call to punt the ball when Calgary at no other time came close to getting near a Shaw boot.

There has been a lot of chatter about the aggressiveness of the Blue Jays on the bases this season, but it doesn't really stand up.
The Jays are stealing bases at a much higher rate than last season, it is true. They have 35 stolen bases already, and they stole all of 58 bases in 2010. Of course, the Giants stole three fewer bases last season, and all they did was win the World Series.
But although Toronto's stolen-base totals are up, there also has been an increase in players being picked off, seven already this year, while there were 14 all of last season. Both this year and last year, the success rate of steals has been 74 percent, which is about the league average.
However, not all steals are equal. Often a stolen base leads to nothing. Volume of steals is not so important as getting the stolen base when it is needed and when it makes sense. It's too early to judge this team on that score, but so far many of the steals seem to have been insignificant. Some of the baserunning hasn't been smart, either, costing the team important outs.
But speed on the bases is more than about mere steals. It is about taking the extra base -- going first to third or second to home on singles. It is about going first to home on doubles.
You don't have to look any further than charts on the baseball-reference.com to see that the 2011 Blue Jays are not doing well in that aspect.
Going into Monday's 10-5 loss to the Tigers, the Blue Jays were taking the extra base 34 percent of the time, lower than the league average of 40 per cent.. Last year's team did better, taking the extra base 36 percent of the time when the opportunities were there against the league average of 39 percent.
In 2009, the Blue Jays took the extra base 40 percent of the time against a 39 percent average for the league. That season, they stole 73 bases and were successful 76 percent of the time, higher than the league average.
In 2009, the Blue Jays won 75 games. The 2010 Blue Jays, with less speed and more home run trots, won 85.
The 2011 Blue Jays are currently 15-20. That's the stat that counts. It's not pretty so far.

Waking in the Silverite Mine
Previous chapter:His Father's Son 7
Next chapter:His Father's Son 9
8. Illusions of Truth
The consciousness returns slowly, gradually; allowing to gain grasp of his whereabouts and remain in control. He is lying on a cold, hard surface which feels like stone.
Floor. Too smooth… not the mine. And cold.
Very cold, in fact, since his upper body is covered only with thin linen shirt which he wears under the gambeson.
No armour, no weapons… probably. He had a knife, a thin blade well hidden in his boot, but he does not dare to move yet to check.
From what he can tell, he is unrestrained; minute, cautious moves confirm the assumption.
Unusual tightness around the left wrist… a bandage?
What happened?
Memory offers no clue what passed between falling into the trap and waking.
They bid their time and waited for us. Darkspawn who catch Grey Wardens and take them prisoners.
Hopefully, there is still them.
Concentrating, Nathaniel recognizes the rhythm of someone's breath but cannot hear any movement; no rustle of wind or sounds of nature.
A closed space, unsurprisingly.
The perceptions coming to his new Warden sense from two directions tell him that there are at least two bearers of the taint present.
Hopefully, his fellow Wardens.
No light passes through his lids, so he assumes that there is dark. When he dares to open them by a slit, though, the complete lack of light still catches him by surprise. He sees nothing; there is no difference between opening eyes or keeping them shut.
Underground. Must be underground, or…
The other option is unnerving.
It cannot be. It cannot be.
He feels no injury to his head or eyes. There is no reason why he should be blinded.
Darkspawn, after all, do not need light at all.
Since his actions provoke no reaction, Nathaniel moves more profoundly, and immediately freezes as he hears a rustle of clothes.
"Wakie-wakie," says the familiar jovial voice. "Who's that?"
"Me. Nathaniel."
A chuckle. "A surprise of lifetime – most glad that you're up, Howe's little blighter."
"Truly so?"
Anders snorts. "Yup. As you have probably noticed yourself, we're sort of underclothed, some of us more than the others, and I sure don't want Velanna to jump at the wrong conclusion if I was the only one around awake."
Which sort of happens, anyway. In some respects, Velanna is very predictable.
Cousland is the last to come to, and the only one feeling a little dizzy – the only one to have both wrists bandaged, as well.
Since when do darkspawn bleed their prisoners?
Comparing their memories of what preceded the waking in the darkness brings no effect: all they remember is a tall, unnaturally emaciated figure raising its hand, a flash of white light, and then nothing.
So we walked right into a trap. The question is, how to get out of it now.
The place where they are lodged is a small chamber of rectangular shape, with even floor and walls, the wall on one side replaced by bars. The lock Nathaniel gropes feels crude and probably easy to open, had Nathaniel still his possessions.
The reverie as they quietly ponder the scarce options for their escape, is broken by a soft creaking sound, and light footsteps, even as Nathaniel feels the already familiar tug at his mind.
The footsteps are too light for darkspawn, though, and the figure approaching in a halo of orange light emitting from a crystal is too slender, and –
"Seranni!" Velanna, whom the light reveals to wear only a sleeveless bodice, throws herself against the bars. "Seranni…" she repeats, the joy in her voice replaced by horror as she sees the dark blotches and dimmed eyes in the face that mirrors her own. "Oh Creators… what have they done to you?"
Maker. A ghoul. Her sister is a ghoul.
"They haven't done anything," the elf replies in a clear, melodic voice, with a tinge of irritation. "I... I'm fine, Velanna. It's not me the Architect wants... I have to get you out before something bad happens. I don't want anyone else to be hurt."
Nathaniel blinks at the baffling scene. This is supposed to be a welcome from a kidnapped sister? And since when do ghouls talk, or was Cousland wrong again?
"Here, take this." Through the bars, Seranni hands a key and a crystal lamp to Velanna, who only stands, petrified, staring at her.
Cousland abruptly moves to the bars, taking the objects from Seranni's hands. "How did you come by these? And how is it that you walk free? What's going on here?"
The elf quickly withdraws her hand. "I – I know nothing. Please, you must get out of here… They are going to come to check on you. You have to hurry!"
Cousland stares at her relentlessly. "Do you know that you are tainted?" he asks softly.
"That is nothing. I will be fine," the elf replies uneasily. Then she abruptly turns her head. "They're coming! Get out, quickly!"
Without a further word, she runs away, followed by Velanna's desperate cries: "Seranni! Where are you going? Wait! Seranni!"
Meanwhile, Cousland wastes no time. The familiar, slowly intensifying light of the crystal lamp repels the returning darkness, and the lock of the bars opens with a loud clank.
Nathaniel draws the blade out of his boot; the feel of the hilt in his hand is reassuring as he hears the approaching, shuffling steps.
He never has the chance to use it. The approaching darkspawn are caught in a wave of intense cold, and their flesh shatters under Anders and Velanna's concentrated attack.
A moment of tense waiting, and Cousland sharply nods his head in confirmation: no more darkspawn around. With a smirk, he grabs a crude darkspawn sword and tests its balance. "Will have to do," he mutters. "Wait, Velanna!" he grabs the elf's bare shoulder.
"We must find Seranni!" She seems to be close to tears.
"We will do our best. Just don't rush, or you will accomplish nothing."
Not to mention the fact that you can't save one who apparently doesn't care. Looking aside, Nathaniel says nothing, either. We will be lucky if we make it out ourselves.
Passing some more empty cells and a few turns, the corridor unexpectedly opens into a large room. Nathaniel blinks in disbelief.
From what can be seen in the light of their single lamp, the room looks like a… study. At least the long rows of books on the shelves suggest so, though the presence of other objects is rather baffling.
Really, what use could be a strainer, placed just next to a jack-plane, together with a broken Orlesian perfume flask?
Another part of the room apparently serves as a laboratory: the desks are full of intricate glass bottles, tools and devices, the purpose of which Nathaniel can only guess.
"Hey! Look'ye what's here!"
Oghren's finding is another crystal lamp; two more are lying on a side table, disassembled. A quick search reveals other items of their possessions: their cloaks and backpacks, carefully folded, while some of the content is carelessly littered on the floor. Velanna immediately grabs her cloak and wraps it around her; then produces an angry hiss as she finds out that her water flask, decorated with silver and embossed patterns, has been unseamed and the pieces carefully lined on the table.
The other water flasks are untouched, as well as a supply of the tough dried meat, while the other food is missing.
Despite its consistence, wolfing down the meat is a matter of no time at all.
"You really, really don't mind eating something that has been pawed by darkspawn?"
"A lame one, Anders," Oghren grunts and washes the last mouthful of his share with a rich swig from his flask.
"Be careful with the water, we don't know how long we may have to do without it," Cousland reminds. "Don't feast while the deer is still in the woods."
"Or a nug in its hole." A loud belch, followed by characteristic vapours. "But can't see what makes ye think I'd be carrying around water."
There is still no trace of their weapons or armours, though.
As they move yet further into the room, Nathaniel feels his breath catch in his throat. Not just a study.
A massive stone slab, covered with carvings, and equipped with a set of manacles at each end, leaves little doubt of its purpose. A set of dissectors and lancets. And hanging from the ceiling, a massive cage. Two of them, in fact, both empty, though the stains on the floor suggest that this is not always so.
"Look out!"
An opening in the floor: a dark pit.
Despite the thin linen, Nathaniel is suddenly sweating. He knows what must be lying down there in the darkness, disposed and forgotten. Swallowing a curse, he covers the last couple of steps and stands at the edge next to Cousland, who is looking down, at the longer and shorter shapes, and an occasional circular one, with his lips pressed in a thin line.
This is where our bones would doubtlessly end, too. Still can.
The stench oozing from the nearby corridor is repulsive, yet with no clue where to go, they continue, covering their noses with the cloaks.
Another set of holding cells, with bodies in various stages of decay. Nathaniel hears Anders heave, and all of them walk faster.
Suddenly, Cousland motions to them to stop, and Nathaniel feels it, too: a weak presence of the taint, in the cell just ahead. And as they stand still, he also hears the sounds.
Ragged, gasping breath.
And since the feel of the taint comes from that direction, too, it must be –
With an angry snort, Cousland yanks at the bars, which open immediately.
Little wonder it's not locked. The guy is hardly going anywhere on his own.
Once probably a handsome man in his prime, lies reduced to a helpless, shivering heap, rapidly gasping for air with his mouth wide open. Kneeling down, Cousland carefully turns him to his back, assisted by Anders, who quickly runs a blue-glowing hand over the man's body.
Nathaniel does not need to see the mage shake his head to know that there is no help.
"Can you do at least something to bring him round?" Cousland asks softly.
Anders hesitates. "I can, but… it might be more merciful not to." Hushed by Cousland's glare, he quickly averts his eyes and his hands faintly glow again.
For a moment, nothing happens, but then the breathing slows and the man rolls his head. Cousland gently raises him and puts the flask with water to the cracked, parched lips. The man drinks, gulping, then opens the deep sunken eyes.
"You … are not darkspawn…" The weak, hoarse voice is filled with disbelief. "You are… Wardens?" His eyes flicker over their faces, struggling to focus. "There are no more Wardens… except… Commander? Are you the Commander?"
"Yes, I am." Cousland takes the man's hand in his. "What's your name?"
"What happened, Keenan?"
"They… came as if out of nowhere. The Keep was taken. We…" His voice trails off for a moment and Cousland raises the flask to his lips again. The water gives Keenan the strength to continue. "We… were overwhelmed. The others… were killed, or worse. I'm… the only one left." He clutches Cousland's hand with a death grip. "Tell my wife… tell Nida…" His voice breaks.
"Do not worry. I will find your wife and tell her what needs be told."
Keenan does not seem to hear the soothing voice. His features contort. "I am so sorry I lost the ring... he took it." His body sets in a fit of spasms, which subdue as Anders reaches his hand to him again.
"He took the ring," he mumbles desperately, "my wedding ring… the gift from Nida…"
"Who took it?"
"The big one… with the maul. He crushed my legs so that I couldn't escape… he took my ring…" He tries to raise, unsuccessfully. "I know… I won't make it out of here but… please… get my ring back…"
"Rest assured." Cousland's voice is almost hypnotizing. "We will find the ring."
The way Keenan's features lighten sets a knot in Nathaniel's stomach. "Give it to Nida… tell her – tell her…. The ring…" The dying man stares in Cousland's face.
"I will retrieve your ring, and I will personally give it to your wife," Cousland replies firmly, as if the success was beyond any doubt. "I swear it. Is there anything else I can do for you, Keenan?"
Another fit of spasms, before the man replies almost inaudibly: "Don't let me rot here. I know... it won't take much longer… but still…send me to the Maker… quickly."
Cousland takes a deep breath and nods. "I will." He turns to Nathaniel. "Hand me your knife," he asks softly.
Nathaniel obeys without hesitation. Clean steel is certainly more fitting to end the life of a good man that the twisted darkspawn blade.
Still holding Keenan's hand, Ned Cousland places the point of the dagger against his chest. "Farewell, Warden Keenan. Your name will not be forgotten."
And then, as Keenan closes his eyes, with a firm hand he drives the blade home.
For a moment, he keeps holding the dead body, muttering something unintelligible, in a tongue Nathaniel is not familiar with. For some reason, Velanna gasps and stares at Cousland with wide eyes; then she turns abruptly and walks a few steps away.
It is Anders, with his ever-constant need to exercise his tongue, who expresses the collective doubt: "Just how do you intend to fulfil your oath when we are sorely unequipped and most possibly outnumbered, if I may ask?"
Cousland's voice is ice-cold. "I do not expect that our 'escape' would go unnoticed and I have very little doubt that a big brute with maul would miss the fun."
Oh, yes. The fate will tend to itself. I just hope we will come over some better equipment than our current one.
They do. Quite soon, and in a manner none of them expected.
Maker. Great Maker. Nathaniel cannot help but feel chills running down his spine as he watches a parody of himself, wearing his armour, armed with his bow and blades, slowly emerge from the shadows. The blackened face, the dull eyes – the original likeness is marred past recognition, yet Nathaniel cannot rid of the feeling that the ghoul's face was originally his own.
More figures, more familiar garbs. Cousland's griffon armour, Oghren's breastplate with geometric patterns. Anders' robe and staff. And –
"That thing is wearing my stuff!" Velanna's angry yell wakes them from the stupor as they watch the tainted copies of themselves approach.
Dealing with the ghouls while using only the low quality darkspawn blades would have been almost impossible without the support of magic, but their relief at recovering their gear turns out to be pre-timely. They barely have the time to grab at least their weapons when another wave of attackers ensues.
The first two are felled by Nathaniel's arrows but then the mass is on them, and they fight for their lives.
With Anders and Velanna already running low on magic, Cousland and Oghren take the brunt of the attack, and without their armour, both suffer multiple minor wounds. Nathaniel himself has a gash on his upper arm and chest, from a hurlock which refused to die even with an arrow through its throat. When the fight is finally over, he exhaustedly sags to his knees.
Maker. That was by a thread.
"Get your gear fast!" Cousland commands, somewhat unnecessarily.
"Blessed be the producers of lyrium, myself included!" Anders cheers as the search of his property on the ghoul's body reveals a part of his potion reserve. With an expert gesture, he uncorks a vial and imbibes its content. Clicking his tongue, he wiggles his fingers. "So, any volunteers for healing?"
"Just look around," Oghren grunts, sitting on the ground and trying to stop the blood trickling to his eyes from a wound in his scalp.
Cousland, ignoring his wounds, still stands alert, with his sword and shield ready. "Stop chitchatting and get down to work, Anders. If another wave comes before we get back in shape, we're in a great deal of trouble."
"What, even worse than we already are?" Having tended to Oghren as he struggled to recover his armour meanwhile, the mage moves over to Cousland. "You sure you don't want to sit down? – Alright, alright, just asking." Unbelievably, he manages to heal even during the constant flow of speech. "By the way, you don't expect me to actually wear something stripped off a ghoul, do you? I hear it's not among the recommended means of skin beauty care. – What?" He makes an offended face at the glare he receives. "I am healing you, am I not? So I talk, big deal. You knew I like to talk even when you recruited me, and when I'm nervous, like when I nearly get beheaded twice within a couple of seconds, I simply talk more. – Not to mention the stressful loss of my favourite piece of garbs which is spoiled past mending now!"
For a moment, it seems that Anders is in an imminent danger of beheading for the third time, but then Cousland chuckles. "You're impossible. If you prefer running around in little more than your smalls, it's your choice. I've been soaked in darkspawn blood so often that some more won't make a difference." He finally kneels down and starts stripping his armour from the ghoul's body.
A sudden explosion of fire brings them all to a startle. Standing over the body of the female ghoul she felled and which she currently set afire, Velanna shrugs. "I am not going to wear that filthy stuff again, and I'm not letting them have it, either."
"A most prudent decision." Cousland returns to his work, not looking at Velanna. "You could easily become tainted."
Provided that you are not already, Nathaniel realizes with a feeling of nausea, remembering Seranni's blotched features. With revulsion, he quickly puts on his gambeson. His eyes are involuntarily drawn back to the ghoul, whose expressionless face stares to the ceiling. Just what was this supposed to mean?
And, above all, what role does Velanna's sister play in it?
The feeling that he is undoubtedly going to find out soon, is not reassuring in the least.

Perlane filler in cheeks almost 3 months old and I still have chipmunk cheeks. Any suggestions? (photos)
Doctor Answers 2
Perlane filler in cheeks almost 3 months old and I still have chipmunk cheeks. Any suggestions?
Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help with the evaluation. I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces. Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front. Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face.
Think of facial beauty as something that "must" address all layers of the face including the skeletal structure of the cheeks and chin, the overlying SMAS muscle, amount and position of subcutaneous fat and finally the degree of skin laxity. It's an "urban myth" that pulling tissues over flat cheeks and a weak chin can create a beautiful or handsome face. Similarly, dermal fillers or facial implants alone can't lift and remove excess skin from the face and neck. Natural looking beauty is created by the aesthetic vision of what tissue layers need to be adjusted by what technique and amount.
The only way to reduce the Perlane (Restylane Lift) is with injections of hyaluronidase. Injecting dermal fillers towards the outside of the cheeks only makes the face appear more broad and masculine, not feminine as desired.
Hope this helps

Dissolving Perlane
Hylenex and Vitrase are the 2 commercial forms of hyaluronidase that will dissolve Perlane. It slowly gets absorbed by the body, although this can take a long time. If you are not happy with the outcome of your procedure and your doctor doesn't want to dissolve the product, you should see a different injector who can inject just enough hyaluronidase to slightly bring the volume of your cheeks down so that you can be confident smiling and enjoy your wedding day. It is a safe procedure but the key is not to remove all the filler.

In Tesco Mahon Point last weekend some saucy display advertising caught my eye.
Seems the two German discount supermarkets must be taking their toll on Tesco's market share to prompt this kind of response.
Another late one – this from the 30/12/2009.
Sometimes it seems as if celebrity chefs have managed to hijack more of our television airwaves than any other genre in TV history, and Christmas week it's worse than ever. Cooking programmes are great… but wall-to-wall recipes and a surfeit of inflated egos is enough to turn anybody's stomach. With some, like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, I appreciate the food and the ethos and philosophy behind it, but could probably do without the lame one-liners.
Others like Jamie Oliver come up with great recipes that really are easy to cook at home, if you can endure the cheeky-chappy facade. Actually, as I type this I have a Jamie Oliver Christmas jerk ham joint in the oven. Yum!
Even with Gordon Ramsey, who is perhaps the most egotistical of the bunch, you have to appreciate his consummate skill in the kitchen, and his unequivocal passion for great food, despite his caustic language and bullying, autocratic style.
TV chefs span the gamut, from the sublime to the truly ridiculous. The week before Christmas, for example, I was unfortunate enough to land on "The Hairy Bikers" while channel flicking… they were cooking up the twelve-days-of-Christmas, which sounds like a pretty solid concept for a festive cooking show, until you realise that this is "The Hairy Bikers", and that they're insisting on spicing things up by punctuating the actual cooking with assorted seasonal pranks. This included cavorting across the stage in leotards with the cast of Lord of the Dance. It was enough to make anyone lose their appetite.
The girls came off the school bus beaming from ear-to-ear, waving little booklets at us and talking nineteen-to-the-dozen.
Their conversation… if you can call a one-directional avalanche of competing phrases tumbling from three over-excited youngsters a conversation… revolved around fruit and veg. School was introducing a new programme called Food Dudes and they explained that for the next sixteen days they would be trying different fresh fruit and veg in school, and getting "prizes" for eating it. Sure enough, the next day they came home having tried some cucumber (no challenge there then… the girls love cucumber, and regularly devour vast quantities of the stuff), and eager to show us their food dude trinket.
To date they've collected a wrist-band watch, a plastic drink bottle, fridge magnets, a pencil case, a pedometer, a rubber (eraser), twirly straws and other bits of paraphernalia for trying an assortment of fresh foods. They're also keeping a food diary detailing all of the fruit and veg varieties they eat at home and at school every day for the sixteen days — which they've stuck on the fridge using their Food Dudes fridge magnets and fill in diligently every evening before bed.
I drink too much coffee! There's no getting around it… it's true. I have a penchant for the black-stuff that is simply undeniable.
My wife has been campaigning to get me to reduce my caffeine intake for quite some time, and part of me knows that she's right. And in fairness I have… I'm now having only two to three mugs of the stuff a day instead of the six or seven that I used to consume. But… and it's a big but… the three mugs I do have are VERY strong neat espresso, made in one of those stove-top coffee pots. It's great stuff… but apparently I'm still drinking too much of it.
Or am I…?

Amethyst deceiver is an ominous name for a fungus… and the purple colour, while pretty, does little to suggest that this mushroom is anything other than seriously poisonous. The truth is that it's not only harmless, but is also edible and apparently tastes quite good. Looking at it, you'd swear blind it was deadly… but that's the trouble with fungi… they're tricky little so-and-sos.
On Sunday we went to the Irish Natural Forestry Foundation's (INFF) headquarters at Manch Estate, near Dunmanway in West Cork, for their second-last open day of the season. The estate is open to the public on the first Sunday of the month from March to November. These open days involve talks on sustainable native forestry, a chance to see craftsman utilise traditional woodland skills like charcoal making, wood-turning, woven hazel fence construction, gate making, birch broom making and more. There are also activities to keep the kids occupied, like woodland "treasure hunts" and nature art. But the highlights are the guided walks along the 20km of woodland, meadow and riverbank of the estate.
This month Cork nature writer and fungus aficionado Damien Enright was leading a walk dubbed "Fungi in the Woods". We love looking for fungi. We also love the concept of foraging for wild food, be it picking blackberries, catching fish or whatever. So far though we haven't had the courage to combine the two — other than the odd occasion when we come across a patch of field mushrooms.
Guster the wood pigeon was dead. There were no two ways about it… this was an ex-pigeon, a pigeon that had ceased to be.
The girls were sad… especially the little one. In the twenty minutes or so since they'd met (and named) Guster they'd grown quite attached to him.
When we found him Guster was in pretty bad shape. He was flapping about in the shallows of an inlet just off the path at Rineen Woods near Unionhall. He'd been attacked by a predator, probably a fox, and had feathers missing from his back and shoulders to reveal bare skin and some nasty looking puncture wounds. Floundering helplessly in the water, struggling to keep his head above the surface, he was a forlorn sight.
I sized up the situation as the girls pleaded with me to save him.
Ah the humble sandwich.
It comes in many shapes and forms, using different varieties of bread combined with a dizzying array of fillings that span the gamut of texture and flavour. With countless options, there's literally a sandwich for everyone. It's the staple of family picnics, and the stalwart of childhood nutrition that is the school lunch.
Yes, despite originally being considered as "man's food" to be shared during late night gaming and drinking sessions, the 19th century namesake of the 4th Earl of Sandwich has, over the years, migrated across the social spectrum to become the mainstay of children's lunch boxes around the country and around the world. Which is all well and good, but filling my daughters' lunch boxes has evolved into one of the most trying parts of the daily grind.
School lunches have become the bane of my weekday mornings, and constructing them in the early morning tends to bring forth a tirade of under-the-breath expletives than wouldn't be out of place in a Gordon Ramsay kitchen.
We went to the beach on Sunday one Sunday a couple of weeks ago (taken me ages to post this.. ).
As I watched the children running across the sand, and the sunlight (that's right, sunlight) catching spray from the breaking waves I had to consciously remind myself that it was still only February. February in West Cork can be a pretty bleak affair, but today it was absolutely glorious.
I have no doubt that the fickle nature of Ireland's climate means winter will re-assert her miserable grip again before finally giving up — but for a few days at least spring was most definitely in the air.
That's one of the best things about living in the heart of West Cork: you get to really make the most of the good days. Out in the garden, down on the beach, up in the woods — you can take advantage of the great outdoors on those all-too-rare occasions when the outdoors in Ireland really is great.
We spent an invigorating few hours on the beach, letting the sea breeze blow away the cobwebs of a soggy winter. It's amazing how a bracing walk (or an all-out-run in the kids' case) in the fresh air can raise your spirits, and we were all on top form when we got back to the car, not to mention starving.
There's something about being near the sea that piques the appetite like nothing else. All that sea air and activity is great, but it doesn't half make you hungry. Stomachs rumbling, we decided to have lunch out for a change, and headed for Gossip.
Gossip is an unpretentious little bistro-style restaurant on the square in Rosscarbery. The premises has housed a variety of ventures over recent years, but it's latest incarnation is something of a rarity in today's Ireland: a restaurant serving good food that offers excellent value.
Elegant contemporary fixtures and fittings combine with exposed stone walls that hint at the building's history to deliver a comfortable, informal dining atmosphere ideal for families. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful — another rare find in the Irish hospitality industry today. They immediately put three tables together to make sure our party of five wasn't cramped.
On Sundays a selection of newspapers adorns a table in the centre of the restaurant for patrons to pick up and read at their leisure. The menu offers a range of bistro-style fare that, while nothing out of the ordinary, includes dishes that will appeal to meat lovers, fish lovers and vegetarians alike. There's also a large specials board to introduce a bit of variety, including the ubiquitous "Roast of the Day" — the staple Irish meat and two veg.
But the best thing about the menu is the kids' selection. There are the usual XXXX and chips for those who want them, but you can also order them half portions of anything on the menu — including the full roast dinner — for just €5.
Our three went for roast beef, with mash, roast potato, veg and Yorkshire pudding. I had the steak and ale pie and my wife went for the monkfish. The food while not exceptional, was good, portions were hearty, and you can't argue with the value. All five of us were well fed, with excellent service, in pleasant surroundings for €38.
We'll certainly be going back to Gossip soon, and if you fancy giving it a whirl, they are running a special for the whole of Lent — one child eats for free with each paying adult. They've also got a colouring competition on for the children — with a prize of a meal for two at the restaurant for mum and dad. Well worth a visit.
"Oh no, that programme's terrible," uttered one of the twins as we settled down in front of the fire for an evening of family telly. On screen, Rachel Allen, doyenne of Irish culinary television, was strutting her Nigela-esque stuff, showing the nation how to blind bake the quintessentially perfect pastry case.
Curious, I asked what my daughter found so bad about the programme. "Well, it makes you so hungry," came the reply. I guess you can't argue with that; the new series is all about baking.
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and baking, it has to be said, is very close to my heart. Eating it that is, not actually doing it. I'm lucky, because I happen to be married to an excellent baker, and it's winter. Winter means the oven on the range is always hot, and there's usually something yummy on offer in the kitchen.
So you'd think Rachel Allen's new series would appeal to me… and it does on one level. It's a good, wholesome programme that we can enjoy at a decent hour with the children, and yes, some of the recipes look mouthwatering. Television that passes on practical information, and real skills that you can use is to be applauded.
But there's another aspect to the programme that tarnishes its superficial appeal. It's a problem that afflicts many such programmes – Nigela Lawson's are a prime example, as was the last series of iconic celebrity cook Delia Smith, and in other genres things like "Location, location, location". It's the gradual erosion of content to make way for the presenters' expanding egos.
It was 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon. I was sitting in the office about to start writing this column when one of the twins burst in.
"Dad, can we take the ferrets for a walk?" she asked. I looked out of the window. For once the sun was shining. You'd be amazed at how quickly I can move when a viable opportunity to avoid work presents itself. I was out of the door in a flash, the laptop and the column forgotten.
We've had the ferrets for just over two years now… and they really are wonderful pets. They're so much more fun than alternative small animal options: rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters.
Ferrets are naturally playful, inquisitive and affectionate. They 're predators… and like all predators (cats, dogs, lions, etc.) they get their energy in small, high-value doses. That means that, when they're not sleeping (and they can sleep for up to 16 out of every 24 hours… which, I must admit, makes me a bit envious), they spend most of their time playing and exploring to hone their hunting skills. Compare that to a guinea pig, for example, which needs to spend every waking hour chewing frantically just to stay alive, and you'll start to see what I mean.
And then there's instinctive behaviour: when a herbivore hears a sudden noise it's primary instinct is to flee, but a carnivore's natural instinct is to investigate a potential meal. Both are thinking of lunch… it's just that one is looking for its lunch while the other wants to avoid becoming lunch. So, guinea pigs, rabbits, et-al spend all their time running away, while ferrets tend to run towards strange sounds and actually engage in active play. When was the last time your guinea pig played chase with a feather on a string?
As for the supposedly vicious nature of these marvelous mustelids, I have to say it's mostly a myth. Yes, they have the arsenal to inflict a nasty bite… but then so does your average dog, cat and even the aforementioned rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters if mistreated. Vicious ferrets are, by and large, mistreated ferrets, and as a general rule they won't bite unless seriously provoked.
I went out to their large hutch/enclosure to fit their leads and harnesses (matching little red and black numbers) and after a bit of squirming, wriggling (the ferrets) and cursing (me) we were ready to go. Walking with ferrets is a slow process – especially when you're heading down a country lane. They keep diving into the hedgerow investigating smells – mice, rabbits, rats, foxes, badgers and whatever else has crossed the path the night before. Their leads get tangled in the undergrowth and progress is… well, let's call it gradual.
At this time of year that's ideal, because ambling slowly along a hedgerow thick with brambles gives you ample opportunity to pick out the best of the blackberries. The crop this year is, admittedly, not spectacular – spoiled by rain and lack of sunshine – but there are enough around to make picking them worthwhile as you wait for a stray ferret to emerge from a hole in a drystone wall.
That night, as the bread machine beeped to tell me the jam was ready to pour into jars, I found myself smiling involuntarily. This is what country living is all about (strange looks from local farmers while walking the ferrets notwithstanding). There are a few things I miss about living in the city – largely involving more convenient access to products and services – but by and large the country wins hands down. At this stage I wouldn't move back to the city for diamonds….

Corinth Vacation Packages
Corinth is located some 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Athens, the national capital.
Peloponnese is brimming with fabulous attractions, from tourist hotspots to lesser known gems. Corinth, lies approximately 1 mile (1. 6 kilometers) to the south. Here you can enjoy the Corinth Canal and Temple of Apollo.
Around 35 miles (56 kilometers) to the west of Corinth is Aigialeia, an important regional center where you'll find Tsivlou Lake, Diakofto Train Monument and Vouraikos Gorge. Panagia Tripiti Church and Nikolaiika Beach are just a handful of the many other interesting attractions on offer here.
Immerse yourself in Corinth's spiritual side by visiting the region's temples and other sites of spiritual significance. An effective way to truly appreciate a spot is by knowing about its past. Don't miss the ruins while you are in the area.
Visitors in search of action can get their heart pumping by joining a mountain climbing or hiking adventure. Availing yourself of local expertise can be an extremely rewarding way for travelers to discover a new region. So consider singing up for one of the fascinating guided nature walks.
At the end of your stay in this unique place, say farewell the way they do in Greek, with a heartfelt "Yiá sou."

The Obama administration's top health official was in Florida Friday touting the benefits of the new health reform law to a group most likely to vote in November's midterms: senior citizens.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded that the sweeping reforms are a great deal to digest, but she blamed much of the public's confusion on the misleading statements of Republicans through the initial debate and now on the campaign trail. The many consumer benefits under the law, she added, have often been overshadowed.
"With so much else on Americans' minds and a 24-hour news cycle that gets louder every day, it's been hard for those very facts to break through," Sebelius told members of the AARP in Orlando, according to The Associated Press. "The reality of what's in the law begins to collide with some of the outrageous claims that people have been making."
Sebelius was in Florida primarily to announce the administration's apology for STD research conducted on unwitting Guatemalans in the 1940s.

Last month a client of ours asked us to demonstrate some of the new Panasonic GP-US932H cameras in a helicopter. The hope was to create a multi-angle video of his client's helicopter tours over NYC. The tiny Panasonic cameras from their medical division seemed perfect for the job. We attached all of the cameras to a Panasonic (AV-HS300) switcher and recorded to the Flash XDR from Convergent Design. Check out the video from this test shoot.
Here are some shots from inside the helicopter. This was a quick test that we did in a day. The actual setup would have shock mounted cameras inside and outside the helicopter, all the gear would be hidden away, and the switcher would be set to automatically cycle between shots.

I need a man with whom I will be true 100 percent, man, who will understand and support me in everything, with whom we will cry and have fun together.

Can you pick which startup processes go first?
My problem is quite simple. I have a Logitech G-19 keyboard and a piece of software called Aida64. Aida64 has a function that allows me to display readings in the G-19 keyboard LCD screen. When I start the computer without aida64 automatically starting ( logitech does ) I am able to later turn on aida64 manually and the aida64 lcd applet works. I have enabled aida64 in my logitech program folder to start alongside logitech, so that once the computer is turned on, I can either choose the Logitech applets or the aida64 applet which I designed ( It tells me such things as temps, vcore, rpms, diodes..important things to an overclocked system. Anyway the question is simple. Is there a way that when windows 7 starts up, Logitech processes start first, THEN aida64 processes, otherwise the aida64 applet does not function. I get an error, and this is quite common actually in G19 keyboards and Aida64. I have been to both forums ( Aida64 and Logitech ) and have been unable to find a solution. Their only solution is to reinstall the logitech software. I did that, nothing. Is there a way to control which process starts first? I am also sorry if I put this thread in the wrong section, wasn't sure if it was software or hardware question...I guess it's a bit of both.
P.S just occurred to me, something like a *delayed start for aida64 process*
|My System Specs
|18 Sep 2013
Solved my own problem. Since Aida64 uses task scheduler, it was set to 10 seconds to start during bootup, not enough time for the logitech drivers to load. So I changed it to 30 seconds, now everything works as it should.

Karl "Shorty" Anderson
Posted in The Life and Times of Candy Barr, Uncategorized by admin
September 12th, 2010
"Shorty" Anderson was clean cut and good looking. At five-three, he was of stout build, looking strong like a wrestler, with an easy smile. Dressed in his better cloths he could pass as a banker or a church deacon- But he was mean as hell.
He had a real job in Dallas. Gulf States Oil Company hired him as a mechanic to service and maintain their gas pumps, air compressors, water hydrants and hoses, cash registers, door latches and anything else that broke at their service stations all over Dallas. That was his regular job.
His irregular job was burglary, robbery, and safe cracking.

Looking for a new printer? There's a great deal on one over at Staples. This one is nearly identical to the Brother printer I have and LOVE! I like having a black and white only printer because it is super cheap on ink, especially because I order the high-yield generic cartridges when we have a hot coupon code on one of the ink sites. This printer has 362 reviews on Staples.com with a 4.5 average rating.
Here's the deal. The Brother MFCL2700DW Mono Laser All-In-One Printer is regularly priced at $199.99, but it is on sale for only $129.99. Right now Staples is offering $25 off a $100+ purchase when you use VISA Checkout (using any major credit or debit card), making this printer only $104.99 after that discount.
But it gets even better than that…start your purchase with TopCashback to earn 3% back on your Staples online purchases, making your final net cost as low as $101.84.Extreme Couponing Tip: You can usually get two prints of most internet coupons. To find them in the easiest possible way, use our preclipped links that take you right to the coupon. Then come back and click the same link to get your 2nd print. This will save you the time spent searching for the coupon.

'Billy Taylor's Diz,' with Jon Faddis, at Kennedy Center
A generation of musicians learned "Take the A Train" for the same reason that Billy Strayhorn wrote it. The lyrics give the directions to Duke Ellington's home in Harlem.
This week, JazzSet takes you Taylor's retirement from the concert stage, taking place at the Kennedy Center, where he is (and remains) Artistic Advisor for Jazz. Taylor invites trumpeter Jon Faddis to share the stage to celebrate a mutual hero, Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993). Between tunes, Jon describes his first and second meetings with Diz. After feeling that he didn't take full advantage of the first meeting, 15-year-old Jon brought his entire Dizzy collection -- dozens of LPs -- to the second meeting. Dizzy patiently autographed each one, and claimed not to remember recording several.
