There comes a point in every independent artist's career when even the smallest bit of encouragement after a time of uncertainty can spin the hopes, dreams and musical creativity back in forward motion. For Nashville based singer/songwriter Roxie Randle, meeting renowned Music City producer Eddie Gore at a Nashville Songwriter's Association meeting was the key to spurring a prolific period of songwriting which led to her perfectly titled, Gore-produced EP Little Victory—an infectious five track set whose name was adapted from the title of a hopeful song called "Little Victories" that the singer wrote in the early phases of their working relationship.
Though Randle says that the recording catapulted her out of a hole after a couple years of self-evaluating and redefining her direction as an artist, she has an impressive foundation to build from as a recording artist and live performer. Before she earned the unique designation of "Female Demo Singer of the Year" on DemoSinger.com for her studio work in Nashville, her 2006 debut album Live at The French Quarter Café was critically acclaimed as "perfectly paced and executed," "smart and refreshing," and full of "one hit song after another." Her 2008 follow-up Something Real, which embraced a more feminine, relaxed feel, earned praise as "an easy listen, with hints of coffeehouse, country, folk and a ladies touch."
A native of a small Eastern Illinois farming community, Randle credits her strong musical family for introducing her to a wide variety of musical genres. She learned how to harmonize by listening to old recordings of her parents' southern rock band, and she has vivid childhood memories of her grandfather playing hymns on the piano and singing classic country songs. She started singing in church at age eight, but as she grew up, Randle's vast range of influences came to include country greats (The Judds, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride), mainstream pop stars (Amy Grant, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow) as well as out-of-the-box indie artists (Shawn Colvin, Jonatha Brooke, Mindy Smith).
Randle has built a loyal regional following with regular gigs at Nashville hotspots (The Bluebird Café, Douglas Corner Café) and frequent stops in nearby cities like Knoxville, Atlanta, Louisville, and Carbondale. She divides her touring time between performing solo and as half of As Girls Go, a duo with her best friend Kimber Cleveland. Two Randle songs, including "This Way"—a co-write with Cleveland set to appear on their in-the-works dual album—are featured in the DVD extras of a documentary called "Beyond The Myth: The Truth About Pit Bulls." Another of Randle's songs, "United," was recently chosen by United Way of Southwestern Indiana to be the theme for their 2013 promotions.
The five tracks on Little Victory have a broad appeal that would be at home on various radio formats, from Triple-A to Adult Contemporary and Americana. The plaintive "You Were Wrong" first appeared with a more intensely percussive arrangement on her debut album, but here it's reworked in a tender, heartfelt fashion that brings fresh emotional urgency to its words. Randle's skills as a co-writer with some of Nashville's major songwriters shine through on tracks like the soaring, up-tempo opener "You Don't Know A Thing About Love," which she penned with Rachel Loy. Randle and Loy also wrote the lilting, mid tempo "Goin' Nowhere," a song about being at a crossroads in a relationship. While the seductive ballad "October Rain," written with Georgia Thomas, shows off Randle's more sultry side, the emotional core of Little Victory is her crowd-pleasing, inspirational "Learning To Fly," a collaboration with Thomas and Tammy Jacobs that blends a whimsical melody with heavier messages of overcoming struggles and broken hearts.
Reflecting on her musical journey thus far, Randle says, "Every time I record an album, it's like taking a snapshot of my life. I can listen to the songs and actually recall what was happening to me at the time. Life experiences definitely helped me to reach a different place with my music on this new EP. I allowed myself to be 100% emotionally exposed. These songs reflect frustration, sensuality, inadequacy, and hopefulness, which are all very intense, personal emotions, but because those sentiments are also so universal, I know the music will resonate with others."

by Amanda L. Kondolojy
Disney Epic Mickey certainly lives up to its title. The story in the game is amazing, the visuals are stark (and just a little disturbing) and the gameplay mechanics make the world of the game interactive and fun. However, there are some things that hold Disney Epic Mickey back from being one of the best games ever for the platform. And even though a lot of these small issues won't hamper the overall experience for many gamers (especially those who are big-time Disney fans), the game isn't perfect.
The start of Disney Epic Mickey is definitely one of the most memorable moments of the entire game. The game's strongest point is its story, and the way things get started is nothing short of, well, epic. Mickey Mouse is in his bedroom and notices something is amiss with his mirror. Upon investigation, he discovers he can travel through the mirror. On the other side, he sees Yen Sid, a powerful sorcerer and teacher, in a world that looks almost exactly like the Magic Kingdom theme park and is designed for creatures that time forgot. Unbeknownst to Yen Sid, Mickey is watching him from behind a wall, and as he goes upstairs to retire for the night, Mickey picks up Yen Sid's magical paintbrush and paint thinner, and ends up ruining Yen Sid's creation and creating a wasteland filled with an evil Phantom Blot. However, instead of fixing his mistake, Mickey runs away through the mirror and never looks back.
Of course, this turns out to be a horrible decision, and several years later the Phantom Blot finds its way through the mirror and drags Mickey back into the wasteland where he must face his mistake and help restore the wasteland back to what it should have been. Along the way, he meets his brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who originally pre-dated Mickey. Although the game presents itself as kid-friendly fare, themes of interrupted destinies, guilt, and of course jealousy come through as strikingly adult.
The game makes it clear from the opening cutscene that the wasteland is not a happy place, but once you actually get to the world of the wasteland, it is hard not to be amazed at the level of darkness put into the game's visual design. One of the earliest areas that you'll visit is a recreation of the "It's a Small World" attraction from the Magic Kingdom Park. But instead of happy, friendly faces singing that familiar tune, you'll see ride boats crashing, ride features in disarray, and decapitated animatronics emerging from the water. The wasteland truly is a horrific place, and the visual design in this game is second-to-none.
Even on a technical level, the visuals impress, which is quite a feat considering the Wii's technical limitations. Levels are fairly lengthy, and there is plenty of room to discover secret areas within each stage. Although the game is built in such a way that you can run through each level, jumping on platforms and flipping switches, that play style misses the point. There is so much to discover in Epic Mickey that you'll miss more than half the content if you just run through. For instance, even though the wasteland is designed for old or forgotten Disney characters, you'll notice plenty of modern elements in the hidden areas of the world. In the game's opening level, I was able to spot the Beast and the Stone Dragon (from Mulan). And if you're willing to look, there are plenty of references to modern Disney that even the youngest fan will appreciate.
But enough about the story and visuals, let's talk about gameplay. The main mechanics in Disney Epic Mickey revolve around the use of paint and paint thinner to restore the wasteland to its former glory. Most of the game will be spent using these two elements to solve puzzles and create platforms to get from one area to another. However, the game also has a strong combat mechanic, and you'll be able to either re-paint enemies to make them friendly, or thin them out to destroy them. This is where things get interesting. While re-painting enemies is the "right" thing to do, it takes quite awhile, costing Mickey valuable time. However, if you thin enemies, you'll get a much faster result, but there will be a moral cost. Mickey's outward appearance will change depending on how much paint and/or thinner you use on enemies, and the environment will also change too. Although Mickey never really takes that step into "evil" territory, you can see how his less-than-noble decisions can affect the world around him, and effect how the citizens of the wasteland treat him. The morality system never really affects the story, but being able to shape your world with the mechanics is an interesting twist, making this game ripe for replayability.

18. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Personages of Earliest Christianity
Who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls? Paleographical dating has tended to downplay the Scrolls' importance and to distance them from the personages of earliest Christianity, but a carefully worked out theory based on radiocarbon dating and other tests connects Scroll allusions to personages and events in a specific time period and suggests a new view on how and why the Romans crucified Jesus. Part I of this study is an attempt to deal more realistically with the evidence of the Dead Sea Scrolls; very few scholars have ever examined the period from 37 BC to AD 71 as the possible setting for the scrolls. Nevertheless, everyone would admit the existence of scroll allusions that only have real relevance in this time period. Part II takes up Jesus and the beginnings of Christianity.
Admittedly, the explanation put forward in this work as to how and why the Romans crucified Jesus is a surprising one and we will not divulge it in this synopsis. However, the way the author sees it, if something like that explanation did not take place, then it is simply inexplicable why the Romans would have crucified Jesus - a peaceful teacher and healer - as a rebel. The only alternative would then have to be that the historical Jesus was really a political revolutionary who attempted in some way to free Israel from the Romans and become its King, a theory that has been offered in various forms beginning in the 18th century. But if he was indeed a rebel, then the later Christians, who strenuously strove to live at peace with Rome, must have been the actual creators of the pacifistic Jesus of the New Testament -- and these unique and time-honored teachings of peace, non-violence, and love were fabrications. That seems less credible than the compelling hypothesis proposed in this work.
17. Theology in Stone: Church Architecture from Byzantium to Berkeley
xford University Press (2004) | English | ISBN 0195154665 | 390 pages | PDF | 3.65 MB Thinking about church architecture has come to an impasse. Reformers and traditionalists are talking past each other. Statements from both sides are often strident and dogmatic. In Theology in Stone, Richard Kieckhefer seeks to help both sides move beyond the standoff toward a fruitful conversation about houses of worship. Drawing on a wide range of historical examples with an eye to their contemporary relevance, he offers refreshing new ideas about the meanings and uses of church architecture. Kieckhefer begins with four chapters on the basic elements of church architecture-the overall arrangement of space, the use of an altar or pulpit as a centering focus, the aesthetics of church design, and the functions of sacred symbols. He goes on to offer three extended historical studies, dealing with churches of medieval England, revival-style churches of America, and modern churches of twentieth-century Germany. Drawing on these case studies, he concludes with a vision of a new theology of church architecture--historically grounded, yet framed for our own time. Examining church architecture from the third century to the twenty-first, Theology in Stone is a thoughtful, fresh, and informative work that addresses questions vital to the present while shedding a great deal of light on the past. The conception of church architecture that emerges is one that moves beyond the polemics of the "worship wars" to embrace the best of both the traditional and the modern.

14. The Protestant Clergy of Early Modern Europe
thered together in this volume are eight contributions by leading scholars of medieval and early modern Europe on different aspects of the rise and development of the Protestant clergy during the era of Reformation, from the construction of the evangelical clerical estate and its divergence from the medieval priesthood to the patterns and particulars of development and their implications for interpreting, and understanding, the confessional age. Many of the essays address a broad theme within a distinct national or territorial framework; the issues are general, the questions universal, but the details which animate the analyses are particular and precise. Using this approach, the volume is able to speak to the general concerns of Reformation historiography, while drawing upon the crucial details made possible by research expertise. The end result is a comprehensive overview of a subject at the very heart of early modern history, viewed from a range of perspectives which provides an essential understanding of the age.

10. Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?
Hephzi-Bah Publishing House | 1999-08-01 | ISBN: 8983140356 | 338 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB This is the first book in this age to preach the gospel of the baptism and the blood of Jesus as it is written in the Scriptures. The true gospel clearly tells us that He took away all our sins through His baptism and took over judgment for all our sins on the Cross. I am sure that there is no other book that preaches 'the gospel of the water and the blood' more clearly and faithfully than this one. The Samaritan woman who drank from the well of Jacob everyday couldn't quench her spiritual thirst, but when she drank the water of life from Jesus, she earned salvation and thus, quenched her thirst immediately and forever. All of humankind must be born again. We have to be born again through our faiths, be redeemed from all our sins and become righteous. For only then can we enter the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible says, "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). "To be born again of water and the Spirit" is the only way we can enter the eternal Kingdom of God. What, then, is this 'water' and 'the Spirit' that allows us to be born again? The 'water' in the Bible refers to 'the baptism of Jesus.' Why was Jesus, who is God, baptized by John the Baptist? Was it to show His humility? Was it to proclaim Himself the Messiah? No, it wasn't. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist by means of 'the laying on of hands' (Leviticus 16:21), it was 'one Man's righteous act' (Romans 5:18), which took away all the sins of humankind. In the Old Testament, God gave Israel the merciful law of redemption. This was so that on the Day of Atonement, all the sins of Israel for that year could be expiated through the High Priest, Aaron, by laying his hands on the head of the 'scapegoat' and passing all the sins onto that scapegoat. These were the words of revelation, which foretold the sacrifice of eternal atonement. It revealed the truth that all the sins of humanity would be passed onto Jesus all at once, who came in the flesh of a man, according to the will of the Father. And He was baptized by John the Baptist who was the descendant of Aaron and the representative of all humankind. When Jesus was baptized, He said to John, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). Here, 'for thus' means 'by the laying on of hands,' in order to pass all the sins of the world onto Jesus, so that all righteousness might be fulfilled for all of us. The word 'righteousness' is 'dikaiosune' in Greek, and its meaning is "the fairest state" or "to be just in character or deeds with the implication of being righteous or fitting." Jesus had fulfilled all righteousness for all people through His baptism in a just and fitting manner. Because Jesus took on all the sins of people through His baptism, the next day, John the Baptist testified, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) With all the sins of humankind on His shoulders, Jesus walked toward the Cross. He vicariously took the judgment for all the sins He had taken on Himself through His baptism. He died on the Cross, saying, "It is finished" (John 19:30). He took all our sins onto Himself and received the complete judgment for them in our place. This one book will surely quench your spiritual thirst forever and ever.

8. David, Saul, and God: Rediscovering an Ancient Story
xford University Press (2008) | English | ISBN 0195331605 | 349 pages | PDF | 1.19 MB The biblical story of King David and his conflict with King Saul (1 and 2 Samuel) is one of the most colourful and perennially popular in the Hebrew Bible. In recent years this story has attracted a great deal of scholarly attention, much of it devoted to showing that David was a far less heroic character than appears on the surface. Indeed, more than one has painted David as a despicable tyrant. Paul Borgman provides a counter-reading to these studies, through an attentive reading of the narrative patterns of the text. He focuses on one of the key features of ancient Hebrew narrative poetics -- repeated patterns -- taking special note of even the small variations each time a pattern recurs. He argues that such 'hearing cues' would have alerted an ancient audience to the answers to such questions as 'Who is David?' and 'What is so wrong with Saul?' The narrative insists on such questions, says Borgman, slowly disclosing answers through patterns of repeated scenarios and dominant motifs that yield, finally, the supreme work of storytelling in ancient literature.

1. Christianity as Mystical Fact
In the fall and winter of 1901-02, Rudolf Steiner gave a series of lectures on "Christianity as Mystical Fact" in the library belonging to Count and Countess Brockdorff, patrons of the German Theosophical Society. These lectures were then rewritten and issued in book form in the summer of 1902. They mark a watershed in the development of Western esotericism. As Steiner writes in his Autobiography. "My intention was not simply to present the mystical content of Christianity. Rather, my aim was to describe evolution from the ancient Mysteries to the Mystery of Golgotha in such a way as to reveal forces at work in this evolution that were not just earthy, historical forces, but spiritual, extra-earthly impulses. I wanted to show that the content presented in the ancient Mysteries took the form of ritualistic pictures of events occurring within the cosmos, events that were then transferred from the cosmos to the earth in the Mystery of Golgotha as a sense-perceptible fact accomplished on the plane of history". Christianity as Mystical Fact is a fundamental book, both in Steiner's own development and in the development of Western esotericism and our understanding of the Christ event. Here readers will find the evolutionary development from the ancient Mysteries through the great Greek philosophers to the events portrayed in the Gospels. This new edition, therefore, newly translated, edited, and introduced by Andrew Welburn, is a welcome addition to the "Classics in Anthroposophy" series.

Another round of 2009 favorites
In keeping with the KWUR non-conformist style of year-end lists, I'll throw rankings to the wind and simply list my favorite records of 2009, in no particular order.
The Intern and Klax have already listed some of my picks, namely, Thee Oh Sees, White Rabbits, Jeff the Brotherhood, and Dirty Projectors. They both did a fine job, so you can read their opinions regarding these bands/records here and here.
Micachu and the Shapes - "Jewellery"
Phenomenal weirdness from Mica Levi (Micachu) and Matthew Herbert (the Shapes). Rare is the record that executes new idea after new idea, and does so often, and well, and cohesively. Take "Eat Your Heart," which begins with some kind of fucked up Hot Chip rhythm under clipped screams, transitions seamlessly to ukulele strums and more coherent vocals, and finishes with a refrain of "cuz I could eat your heart" over plodding, fuzzy bass. Or "Calculator," which is what I'm guessing "Tequila" sounds like on a lot of drugs. "Jewellery" rides a razor sharp edge from start to finish.
Darlings - "Yeah I Know"
This band, and the next, have been criminally overlooked, critically. It's a shame, because Darlings play proper homage to twee pop, the kind that Slumberland bands defined circa 1992. I find this funny, and a little bit sad, because it seems like Slumberland's current roster (which has gotten its fair share of critical praise) has missed the point of twee entirely in trying to emulate it: it's supposed to be loud and weird, not mumbly and boring. I mean, twee gets a lot of shit for embodying escapist, cuddly, I-want-my-childhood-back nonsense, but even a cursory listen reveals that it was also incredibly abrasive (proof: here and here). "Yeah I Know" maintains some semblance of this messy abrasiveness, but ratchets up the competence - the record sounds like the product of very capable musicians who care about the music they play. Sure, they sing about the cute, little things in life - watching TV, being friends, etc - but they demonstrate that you can do so and still sound like you're having fun, not like you're about to fall asleep. One part pretty melody, one part guitar freak-out: twee as fuck, indeed.
Boogie Boarder - "Pizza Hero"
"Pizza Hero" is a 30-minute adrenaline rush committed to tape. I mentioned Boogie Boarder in my CMJ rundown, and everything I wrote there holds true for this record as a whole. Take "Bio Hassle," my favorite track - it begins with a sloppy, joyful bass/guitar riff, enter frenetic drumming that recalls Brian Chippendale, enter a shouted, barely intelligible chant; rinse and repeat. The song chugs along at 110% until about 3:30, when the guitar/vocal harmonization hits and the energy level rockets through the fucking ceiling. Gets me every time.
Lightning Bolt - "Earthly Delights"
Speaking of repetitive, loud records... the band of Brians put out a new record this year. This was actually the first Lightning Bolt album I'd ever heard, and after giving it a listen, I a.) was significantly more deaf, and b.) grabbed their entire back catalog faster than you can say "Waffles." Having listened to most of it, "Earthly Delights" strikes me as their loudest to date, although that could be a result of improved production*. It also appears to be somewhat influenced by stoner metal - they've embraced the lower registers, and Chippendale's insane drumming is ever-so-slightly more in step with Gibson's pummeling riffs (hear "Colossus"). They certainly haven't abandoned the weirdness that set apart their earlier work - check "The Sublime Freak" or "Funny Farm." In any case, the last track was my favorite: "Transmissionary" will melt your face and peel the paint off your walls.
*I don't really know if production is ever really a factor that goes into a Lightning Bolt album - research suggests "no" - but when I listen to their albums successively on my iPod, "Earthly Delights" is by far the loudest.
Other records that deserve a listen:
HEALTH - "Get Color" - "Die Slow" was my jam this summer, and though the rest of the record isn't quite as good (how could it be? "Die Slow" is damn near perfect), it does not disappoint. Spacey, harsh, lovely.
Hornet Leg - "Ribbon Of Fear" - I haven't heard a drum'n'guitar duo push the limits of what you can do with drums and a guitar since "White Blood Cells." Every track is different, all tracks are great.
Red Red Meat - "Bunny Gets Paid" (reissue) - Originally released in 1995 and reissued by Sub Pop this year, "Bunny Gets Paid" hasn't aged a bit.
Pissed Jeans - "King Of Jeans" - I wish Sub Pop would cut it out with the folksy, pretty shit and sign more bands like this. Sludgy, pounding riffs'n'rhythms and a delightful fuck-you outlook make for a great listen.
Bibio - "Ambivalence Avenue" - This record is busting at the seams with creativity, and just about every idea put forth here is incredibly well executed. "Fire Ant" marries R&B and glitch flawlessly, while "Flesh Rots, Pip Sown" recalls the grainy nostalgia of Boards of Canada. Great stuff.
Talk Normal - "Sugarland" - No Wave's never been my thing, but this record's drones and rhythms seep under your skin and possess you. Unsettling and mystifying.
Talbot Tagora - "Lessons In The Woods Or A City" - If you layer dissonance on top of dissonance on top of more dissonance (and do it well), the result is (apparently) a great album.
That's it. Catch you suckahs in 2010.

Prepare for the worst, the Mad Money host thinks lawmakers are about to send us over the fiscal cliff.
"I think it's becoming increasingly apparent that we won't get a deal in time for the January deadline," said the Mad Money host on Wednesday's broadcast.
Despite word from President Obama and Speaker Boehner that a deal could be done by Christmas - Cramer thinks the commentary was quite frankly a lot of hot air. Read More: Obama: Let's Get 'Fiscal Cliff' Deal Before Christmas
Cramer thinks partisan differences are getting worse, not better.
"These politicians believe that rising above politics is political suicide, that compromise is a real and dreaded enemy, a sin even, and that this sin is the very devil when it comes to their careers," he explained.
In fact going over the cliff may be the best possible career move that they can make.

Revelstoke, British Columbia, is a humble sort of place, a remote mountain town built to service the local sawmills and the railway that passes through. Its tiny centre consists of a few snow-choked streets offering hardware and liquor stores, gas stations and a handful of motels. Those looking for fun head to the Village Idiot, a pub with chairs made from old skis, then perhaps move on to the Last Drop, where there are pool tables and line-dancing classes on a Thursday. In short, it is not where you would expect to find the world's most exclusive ski chalet.
But though it lacks the designer shops of Aspen and the Michelin stars of Courchevel, Revelstoke has riches of a different kind. This is one of the snowiest towns on Earth, claiming a typical annual fall of between 12 and 18 metres, and a record of more than 24. By way of comparison, Zermatt in Switzerland expects an average of just four. High above the town, at the top of a run called Paradisio, the snow has fallen so hard that the smaller trees are almost overwhelmed, only their highest branches poke up above the great white tide. The larger trees are so completely encrusted in ice they look like hunched figures wrapped in capes – locals call them "snow ghosts". And even as we stand marvelling at this monochrome world, the snow keeps falling, catching shafts of late afternoon sunlight so that the air sparkles.
We ski down between the snow ghosts, moving fast to avoid getting stuck in the drifts. At the bottom of the slope, an A-star helicopter is waiting and we clamber in. We lift off, swooping low over forests, then tracing the banks of the frozen Illecillewaet River until we emerge on the edge of Revelstoke and approach our final destination – not a heliport, or a hotel, but a private helipad outside Bighorn, the chalet that is our temporary home. As we come in to land we can see through the glass walls of the vast lounge to where Peter Hughes, the chef, is laying out a tray of canapés. He hears the chopper, turns and gives us a smiling thumbs-up.
Locals are used to the sound of rotor blades. Heliskiing arrived in Revelstoke in 1970, brought and then developed by immigrant mountain guides from Austria and Switzerland. In the years since, the town's abundant snowfall, and its position in a cleft between the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges, has helped it grow into the unofficial world capital of the sport. At least four heliski companies operate in the area, with guests billeted in the comfortable but far-from-stylish hotels in town or in shared heliski lodges out in the hills. The arrival of Bighorn last season brought an unprecedented level of luxury to Revelstoke; it also marked the start of a new trend in the industry – the private heliski lodge.
It is the creation of two young Britons, Michael Kirkland, 33, and his brother Chris, 30. Both are exceptional skiers, with sporting CVs that include periods as instructors and racers. Their idea was to take the type of super-luxury chalet you might find in Courchevel or Gstaad and transplant it into the Canadian wilderness, the heartland of heliskiing. Their guests would enjoy complete privacy in the chalet, and rather than having to travel each morning to a commercial helipad, the helicopter would come to collect them. Where conventional heliskiers share a helicopter with strangers, and one aircraft might service three or four separate groups in rotation, guests at Bighorn would have exclusive use of their own machine, all day long.
Today that idea has become an imposing, timber-framed reality, with eight double bedrooms arranged around a living room with a vast fireplace and 15-metre-high windows looking out over the Columbia River to the misty slopes of Mount Begbie. The feel is of a grand Scottish hunting lodge – there are colossal timbers of Douglas fir, chandeliers made from antlers, tartan soft furnishings and even the odd antique map of the Highlands. At first the effect might feel a little geographically disorientating, but it is all too easy to relax into the fantasy.
We play pool in the games room, watch ski films in the cinema, study the scenery through an antique telescope and sit by the fire nibbling local charcuterie (elk, moose, bison and duck). We swim in an indoor pool, then laze in the outdoor hot tub, occasionally dashing out to grab a beer from a bar made of ice, before retreating to watch the rising steam mingle with the falling snowflakes.
No effort, or expense, has been spared. The cheese has been sourced from a farmers' market in Vancouver, seven hours' drive away; the bathrobes have been imported from a Welsh firm that also supplies the Queen; the chanterelles have been foraged from the woods just beyond the kitchen. All of which doesn't even touch on Bighorn's other USP. The Achilles heel of heliskiing is that in bad weather, helicopters do not fly. In conventional wilderness heliski lodges this means "down days" spent watching DVDs or playing interminable games of backgammon. But Bighorn has a solution – you simply drive down the hill from the lodge to the chairlifts and gondola at Revelstoke's resort. Launched on December 22, 2007, Revelstoke Mountain Resort so far has just four lifts – but what lifts they are. The descent from top to bottom is 1,713 vertical metres, the longest in North America, and there are enough trees and high alpine bowls to keep even the most hardcore skier happy.
Such is the cost of this full-on private heliski concept – renting Bighorn for a week, including five days' heliskiing for 12, starts at around £106,000 – that it will always remain a rarity, but other operators are sensing a demand. Arctic Heliskiing will this season offer private groups (typically of eight or 12) exclusive use of its base in northern Iceland, from where they can tackle peaks that have never been skied before and runs that end on the shores of the Greenland Sea. Privacy is assured – the lodge is a former farm at the head of a deserted valley, albeit one with outdoor hot tub, spa and sensational food.
Groups of up to eight can also hole up at White Saddle Ranch, a working farm in the Coast range of British Columbia. It is a long way from the refinements of Bighorn – built from hand-hewn logs and with shared bathrooms – but those eight guests get to share a ski area covering 1.1m acres (a ratio the operator, Bella Coola Helisports, claims no one else can match). More are set to follow. Chad Pike, vice chairman of Blackstone Europe, the investment and advisory group, is in the process of establishing the Eleven Experience, an extravagant collection of 11 holiday properties in restored historic buildings stretching from Wiltshire to the Bahamas. The plan is that by 2014, two of the properties – in France and Iceland – will be operating as private heliski lodges, with room for up to 12 and at a price of $11,000 to $15,000 per night.
A month later, and on the other side of the world, I am in an even more unlikely setting for a private heliski lodge than Revelstoke – France's Tarentaise valley, home to some of Europe's finest ski resorts. Following complaints about noise and pollution, heliskiing has been banned here, and across France, since 1985, but that has not deterred Claire and Tom Jeffery, a former marine lawyer and chartered surveyor. They spent years scouting for a chalet with space to land a helicopter right outside, then set about developing ideas for how a French heliski lodge could work within the law. One solution is simply to fly over the border and into Italy, where heliskiing is allowed (the chalet, Pook Heli‑Lodge, is four miles from the border and within reach of three Italian heliski operators.
During my weekend visit, we fly up over the border post on the Col du Petit St Bernard and land at 3,000m close to the summit of Mont Miravidi, below the looming face of Mont Blanc. We push off north, descending the wide expanse of the Glacier du Breuil, before winding through some tight couloirs and arriving, 45 minutes later, at the Vallon du Breuil to await our pick-up. Julien Ottobon, our guide and a local dairy farmer, whips off his rucksack to produce bread, saucisson and some of his own Beaufort cheese, which he serves on an upturned ski; a bottle of Chignin-Bergeron is thrust into the snow to chill.
Later we ski back down the Vallée de Veïs into France, fighting through bushes to our collection point beside a waterfall, the Cascade de Beaupré. Though heliskiing is forbidden in France, pick-ups are permitted, so within minutes the helicopter is whisking us from this remote valley back to the chalet, where the hot tub is bubbling and a barbecue is beginning to smoke.
The other way of side-stepping the law is to use the helicopter as a taxi – flying from the lodge to be dropped in one of the many nearby resorts, which might include Val d'Isère, Tignes, Sainte Foy or Les Arcs, all no more than a couple minutes' flight away. Why use a chopper to ski in a conventional resort? Because it allows you to stay beyond the hubbub, and to experience an altogether more serene side to the Alps. Pook Heli-Lodge is in a hamlet called Les Laix, a tiny cluster of ancient farmhouses perched on a grassy balcony high above the valley floor. Though it doesn't have Bighorn's high-end polish, the chalet, which dates from 1881, has character in spades. In the galleried main living room are sofas around a log fire, a grand piano and a long wooden dining table overlooked by a mounted stag's head. There's space for 12 in six double rooms, plus two further bunk rooms.
Les Laix has no shops, no nightlife, no entertainment – just a small chapel built in 1624. Outside the lodge, you can swing in a hammock watching the sun slip behind distant peaks, in total silence except for the occasional bleat of a goat. It is a world away from the throbbing Europop and table-dancing of Val d'Isère – or, a two‑minute flight. It is also perfect for a long weekend. On our final day, we ski in Les Arcs until the lifts close, then return to the chalet to change. Normally there would be a mad scramble into a taxi for the three‑hour drive to Geneva airport. Instead, we have tea and eat homemade cake until 6.30pm, when the helicopter comes to collect us – 27 breathtaking minutes later, we touch down on the apron at Geneva, ready to catch a plane back to the real world.

Today, I am sharing my mandu (Korean dumplings) recipe at Rasa Malaysia as part of Bee's special series on the Lunar New Year recipes.
Bee also asked me if I could share a little bit about Korean Lunar New Year traditions. Celebrated for three days, the Lunar New Year (Seollal) is the most significant traditional holiday in Korea. (It falls on January 23 this year.)
It is a time for families to gather and pay respect to ancestors, through an ancestral rite (charae), and enjoy traditional food and games. Young people also honor their elders, by wishing them a prosperous and healthy New Year, with a deep bow (sebae) and receive gifts (usually money) in return.
Growing up, this was one my favorite activities of New Year's day. We always wore a new traditional dress (hanbok) and visited the elders of relatives and family friends to perform sebae. I remember I was a happy little kid with lots of money in my special little pouch made for the occasion.
Food, of course, is a big part of the New Year celebration in Korea. As is the case in many cultures, it's a tradition to gather around the table to make the dumplings in preparation of the New Year's feast.
Here, I decided to share a dumpling recipe made with kimchi. Kimchi mandu is especially popular for making manduguk (dumpling soup) or tteok-manduguk (rice cake soup with dumplings). The robust flavor and crunchy texture of the kimchi mandu adds a nice contrast to the mildly flavored broth and soft rice cake slices.
Makes about 25 – 30 dumplings
25 – 30 dumpling wrappers (slightly thick)
1 cup (packed) finely chopped kimchi
6 ounces tofu
8 ounces mung bean sprouts
1/2 medium onion
3 scallions
4 ounces ground pork (and/or beef)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger (or juiced)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 egg (use the other half to seal the wrappers)
salt to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)
pinch pepper
Finely chop the kimchi and squeeze out as much liquid as possible by hand. Squeeze out water from tofu.Using a cheesecloth will make squeezing easier. Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water, drain, chop and squeeze out water. Finely chop the onion and squeeze out water. Finely chop the scallions.
The squeezed ingredients should be dry and crumbly. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well by hand.
Place one heaping teaspoonful to a tablespoon of the filling on a wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water or egg wash and seal tightly (pushing the air out with your fingers) into a half-moon shape. (Stop here if you want a half-moon shape dumpling.) Then, bring the two ends together, apply water or egg wash to one end and press tightly to create a round shape. Repeat this process until all the filling/wrappers are used.
Kimchi mandu can be steamed for about 8 minutes in a steamer (longer if frozen). Make sure to line the steamer with a cheesecloth or paper towel to prevent mandu from sticking.
Tips for freezing: I usually make mandu in large quantities and freeze them for a quick snack or meal in the future. Freeze the dumplings on a tray with no pieces touching for about an hour, and then store them in a freezer bag. Otherwise, the skins will get soggy from the moisture in the filling and stick together in the freezing process.
Dipping Sauce:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pinch of black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
Combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well. Serve the mandu with the dipping sauce.

There were no tears or emotional pleas for forgiveness.
Instead, an oddly calm — and occasionally smiling — Lance Armstrong ducked few questions before a national television audience on Thursday night, admitting that he used performance-enhancing drugs throughout his storied cycling career.
His confession ended years of often angry denials.
"I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times," he said, explaining that he used a litany of banned substances while winning seven Tour de France races.
"I viewed it as very simple," he said. "My cocktail, so to speak, was EPO — but not a lot — transfusions and testosterone." EPO is a banned blood booster.

Paint has always been the quintessential means of self-expression, and one of the most accessible ways to instantly update a room or a whole house. Part of the fun of surveying the paint companies' picks for next year's trends is that not only is there enough choice to satisfy every taste, but there's usually a wild card or two - a colour that might not be the top choice for every living room or den, but even in relatively small doses (a painted furniture piece, artwork, even a pillow or two) can add zip to the staidest decor.
Often the economic climate has as much influence over paint companies' choices for trend colours as do the more expected influencers such as fashion, social trends and international colour forecasting companies such as Pantone and the Color Marketing Group. How does this manifest in colour choices? For one thing, in harsh times, we tend to see either mood-lifting brights or soothing, reassuring neutral colours, while colour turns adventurous as the economy strengthens.
Many economic predictors surmise that 2013 will be a better year than last (assuming the U.S. fiscal cliff is avoided): The American election is over and the president can get on with addressing his country's longer-term economic issues, the recovery seems to be underway and there's an air of what CIL Paint's Alison Goldman calls "cautious optimism."
"In general, the colour choices this year feature a very urban, modern take on colour - they're sophisticated, optimistic, very architectural," Ms. Goldman says. "For example, in the bright colours, they're going rich and intense, rather than vivid, while actually the opposite is true in softer shades: These are very soft, very muted and greyed." These are a change from the cheerful brights of 2012 (including Pantone's 2012 colour of the year, Tangerine Tango).
Ms. Goldman believes they have a direct correlation with the condo building boom in Ontario and the West - colours that add organic life to an urban environment of steel and glass. Among the picks in CIL's aptly named groupings ("Deep And Luxurious," "Mellow and Comfortable," "Clean and Playful," and "Soft and Elegant) are Streetlamp Black, a rich, very deep purple; Magnificence, a deeply saturated magenta-red that is stunning as an accent with warm neutrals such as greys, whites or taupes; and a range of spice colours, from curry-like yellows to cinnamon reds.
Behr's palettes, each with a distinctive mood and a family of tones that work particularly well together, are suitable for fabrics and accessories as well as walls. "Sweet Jazz," according to company spokeswoman Nancy Bollefer, harks back to the Roaring '20s, with such Art Deco pastels as Shanghai Peach (a soft coral) and Jazzy Jade; "Colour Metric" has a modern, graphic feeling influenced by colour blocking in the fashion world, including an electric purple along with juiced-up neutrals; "Classic Caprice" is an eclectic mix of antique and modern, with rich shades like Daahling, a dark pink, and a warm gold, Golden Age; and "Après Ski," the most relaxed and outdoorsy of the four groupings, featuring natural greens, reds and a warm grey.
While Pantone won't reveal its 2013 Colour of the Year until the end of 2012, The Colour Marketing Group is predicting that deep blue violet will be the "it" colour for 2013. Though the rich shade CMG is showing may not be on everyone's walls (or in their closets) next year, blues in general are making a strong showing now, unusual for this time of year. At least one company, Dulux, has picked up on this movement, picking Inspired Violet as its own colour of the year (see cover photo). "In the economic climate of the past year or so, I think society is looking for a way to 'disconnect,' to get away from the rat race, but also to get away from technology as well," observes Dulux brand director Martin Tustin-Fuchs. Blues are known to create a sense of calm and harmony. Four colours go along with Inspired Violet: Castle Rock, a very elegant stone; Still Waters, a greyed mid-tone green with a subtle blue undertone; Napa Valley, a clear leaf green; and Sapling, a greenish yellow-gold.
Benjamin Moore, according to the company's Sharon Grech, was actually bullish on blue last year, picking Wythe's Blue as its 2012 Colour of the Year. This year, says Ms. Grech, Benjamin Moore is going with a pale, lemony yellow called Lemon Sorbet. "It's not just about making 'safer' choices in a soft economy," Ms. Grech says. "We want comfort, but we also want a sense of optimism, and yellow brings that sense of optimism and light. We are already seeing it in fashion. We have a total of 20 colours in our 2013 trend palette, with many yellows embedded all through them, from very pale buff to rich, deep yellows."
Benjamin Moore's group picks include "Artisan," reflecting the trend to handcrafts and heirlooms, rooms that are "curated" by their owners rather than assembled out of a box or a magazine, with natural tones like Silhouette (a warm charcoal), Pittsfield Buff (a willowy beige) and Satchel (a leathery tan); "Urbanite," a thoroughly modern take on blocky, monochromatic schemes like blue and yellow or black and white, with updated versions of all of these; "New Traditional," which gathers together classics like navy, beige, straw yellow and that '70s favourite, dusty rose (called, daringly enough, Dusty Mauve), but in muddier, more complex versions that are cozy yet clean; and "Coastal," a cool, calm palette of greens, yellows and blues (including the colour of the year, Lemon Sorbet), as seen on a foggy Maritime day.
Many of the groups are designed to work particularly well together, not just as paints but as part of an entire room plan. Thus, in Behr's "Après Ski" group, for example, tan walls can be combined with muted green fabrics, cream-coloured upholstery, dark wood floors and perhaps pillow accents in a bright shade from the same palette. In a year when confidence is returning, these colours are designed to make a personal statement - whether mellow and retro, or sleek and 21stcentury modern.
Dulux's Colour of the Year for 2103, Inspired Violet. Blues in general are already growing in popularity. COURTESY DULUX

Paint firms introduce an intense palette for next year
Paint has always been the quintessential means of self-expression, and one of the most accessible ways to instantly update a room or a whole house. Part of the fun of surveying the paint companies' picks for next year's trends is that not only is there enough choice to satisfy every taste, but there's usually a wild card or two - a colour that might not be the top choice for every living room or den, but even in relatively small doses (a painted furniture piece, artwork, even a pillow or two) can add zip to the staidest decor.

An easier way to deal with this is a very handy program called xkill. this can be run from the shell, run from a menu, or in a pinch summoned with Ctrl-Alt-Esc. Just put the pointer over the offending window and click.
On a side note, this is one of the greatest tut's I've come across here at AO....well done!

NC House OKs abortion legislation
July 11, 2013
Republican lawmakers are pushing ahead with their demand for new rules at North Carolina's abortion clinics.
The House voted 74-41 to approve the bill after a highly-charged, three-hour debate. Republicans say the new rules will make the procedure safer for women.
Opponents argue it is a blatant attempt to shut down clinics and curb a woman's right to choose.
The bill was tweaked after Republican Gov. Pat McCrory threatened to veto a separate bill approved quickly by the Senate last week. The governor said he was worried it would result in restricting a woman's access to an abortion.
It's not clear what he thinks about the new bill, which still must be approved by the GOP-controlled Senate before it would head to his desk.

TLC Renews 'Sister Wives' For Fourth Season
TLC confirms we haven't seen the last of Kody Brown and his polygamist princesses.
Kody Brown has four wives, and pretty soon, his hit show Sister Wives will have four seasons! TLC confirms to HollywoodLife.com that the series, which aired its third season finale Jan. 1, will be back for another season, though a premiere date has yet to be determined.
Sister Wives' third season was arguably its most dramatic one yet, especially when it came to Kody's relationship with his first wife, Meri. He practically demanded that she give him another baby — 17 kids is clearly not enough for him — and he wanted to give Meri the first opportunity to grow the family.
"We just can't keep going in these circles," Kody told Meri during one particularly heated argument. "You might feel different when we're in our new homes. I know it's hard."
And the issue still hadn't been resolved as of the season finale, even though Robyn offered herself up as a surrogate. I guess we'll have to wait until season four to find out if Meri changes her mind!
'Sister Wives' Cancellation Rumors:
This news should come as a relief to fans who suspected the show had been canceled, following a cryptic tweet from one of the wives.
"Thanks everyone for tuning in last week for r season finale," Janelle tweeted Jan. 6. "Hope 2 see u all again soon. Keep up with us all in Twitter in the meanwhile."
Well, now we can officially confirm that we will see Janelle again, along with the rest of the Brown clan.

LITTLE ROCK — A bill to appropriate $915 million in federal funding for the so-called private option failed Tuesday in the House in a 70-27 vote.
LITTLE ROCK — A bill to appropriate $915 million in federal funding for the so-called private option failed Tuesday in the House in a 70-27 vote.
The measure needed a three-fourths majority vote, or 75 votes in the 100-member House, to pass. After the House adjourned, House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, told reporters the chamber would vote again on the bill Wednesday and said he remains "100 percent confident" that it will pass eventually.
Sen. President Pro Tem Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, said Tuesday he did not immediately know whether the Senate would vote on its version of the appropriation bill on Wednesday.
Carter noted that a handful of legislators who voted for the private option in 2013 voted against it or declined to vote Tuesday. He said that if the opposition continues throughout the session, there will be no appropriation for the Department of Human Services.
"If some of the members want to oppose this through this fiscal session, then they're going to own it," he said.
Last week the House voted to adopt amendments to the program that uses federal Medicaid money to provide private health insurance to people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The amendments include one by Rep. Nate Bell, R-Mena, that would bar the state from promoting the private option and the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace.
Carter said Tuesday there will be no more amendments to the bill.
"It's either up or down. There are no negotiations on it," he said. "We've been up here 18 months, and anybody that had a genuine interest in working through the process has had an opportunity to do so."
Gov. Mike Beebe said after the House vote that he trusted Carter's prediction that the House will pass the bill eventually. He said he was not planning to contact members who had changed their positions.
"I'm available to talk to anybody that wants to talk about it, but there's nothing else to be said. The facts are all out there," Beebe said.
Bell said during debate on the House floor that he opposed the private option when it was approved two years ago, but he said a compromise is necessary if the Legislature is to complete its work within the 45-day maximum allowed for a fiscal session.
"Conservatives are going to have to accept that we are not in a position to pass a complete defund," he said.
Rep. Terry Rice, R-Waldron, was one of several members who spoke against the program.
"I believe our children and grandchildren will inherit a debt that they will never be able to pay," he said.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jane English, R-North Little Rock, said she will support the program. Her support gives the private option the needed 27 votes in the Senate.
English agreed to change her vote from a "no" last spring to a "yes" vote this week after she and Beebe's office agreed to a plan to restructure work force and education training in Arkansas.
Under the plan, about $15 million in existing Department of Workforce Services and state two-year college money will be used for jobs training and administered by the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. Beebe said the money would be used to train workers for existing industry needs.
Along with that money, Beebe said about $3.5 million from the rainy day fund and $1.2 million from general revenue also would be used.
By the 2015 legislative session, the initiative will seek a complete top-to-bottom review of all job training at the state's two-year colleges and a possible realignment of nearly $254 million in work force training funds.
English told reporters her goal is to train and later employ people who would otherwise be living off state or federal government programs.
"While I don't like the private option, what I don't like even less is that we're talking about over a third of our population being on some Medicaid program," she said. "I've asked the question what are we going to do to get people off these programs, so we have fewer and fewer people on the private option, food stamps, unemployment and all that."
Before being elected to the Legislature, English served as director of the Workforce Investment Board and later was director of the state Manufacturers Association.
Beebe said he has advocated such a proposal for years.
"The whole work force thing has been fragmented among a bunch of different agencies and it hasn't been performance-based," Beebe said. "It hasn't been tied to programs where you actually are showing that the work force training by two-year colleges or tech schools … or the work force development folks has actually been geared toward real job creation in conjunction with business and industry."
Beebe said English has been involved in economic and work force development for years and once approached Gov. Mike Huckabee with a similar plan, which was rejected.
About 97,000 Arkansans have obtained health insurance under the private option, according to the state Department of Human Services.

This one is
in the books and as director of the Cabo Tuna Jackpot I could not have asked for a better
tournament, because I was damn nervous about it being the 13TH
ANNUAL Jackpot. Scary stuff during Halloween week.
There was such a
great vibe all week. There was the
great Cabo Magic
team story with Cindy and Orville Henseler who won the event with a 213 pounder after deciding to come down on a bucket list decision after an industrial accident a little over a year ago claimed Orville's leg. They just said, things can really change in a moment, and let's go to the Tuna Tournament! Amazing story too of a 4 hour, 55-minute battle by Oroville, and he wanted to gaff the fish, too. They weren't in the optionals, just the overall with the $800 entry, so they didn't win a lot of money, but so what! They were thrilled, and so was everyone else.
Then there was the $17,000 raised for charity with the help of Costa and Seaguar reps in Cabo and all the anglers. The money, every dime, is divided between two Cabo children's charities. And...and the weather and fishing
was superb all week. Even I got to fish a few days before the event got busy for me. I fished with friends. Nothing big, but all good fun on small tuna and dorado on the light tackle.
But oh brother did the fishing for tuna ever go off on 100- to 200-pound
fish the second day when 23 tuna over 100 and three over 200 came to the scales
before a crowd that had grown larger each hour. The tournament had 28 tuna over
100 pounds come to the scales. It was a busy two days at the scale with 17
teams weighing in Day 1 and 26 teams weighing in the second day.
Was it the most dramatic
one-day weigh-in the event's 13-year history? Yes. There must have been 500
people watching and yelling (and holding their breaths) as team True VII brought their fish to the scale at
the 11th hour. It was because True VII was across the board in the tuna optionals. The fish, a pound
heavier than Bottomline's 205 pounder, was a crushing blow for four teams that were clinging to
cash on the leader board.
Teams from
Bottomline ($1,000
optional), Bill Collector ($500/$2,000 optionals ), Wild Hooker ($3,000 and $5,000), and Maybe
Manana ($10,000 optional)
had to watch as the scale read 206 pounds, and in a mere second the $158,520 in
all those optionals was swept away from four teams and into the True VII team's pockets. That left only the wahoo/dorado optional money of $36,000 for Reina de Wahoo and the overall money for the champions on Cabo
Magic to lay claim
All told, eight teams won money this year. The record for the event is nine money winning teams, from last year. Consider this: Had True VII not come in with that 206 pounder, there
would have been 11 teams in the money this year.
Enjoy the
stories and photos in WON, on this site and on Facebook (see the link at www.loscabostunajackpot.com) and just take a lesson from our 2011 champions Orville and
Cindy Henseler on Cabo Magic who decided life is fragile and capricious, and there's no
better time to than the present to make every second count.
Here's some more info on the event, and the 2012 tournament...
Stay tuned,
but Cabo Tuna Jackpot video from our official videographer Ervin Witt of Gringo
Gazette TV will be up on You Tube within a few weeks of the end of the event,
or by Turkey Day. All facets of the event were filmed and the video will be,
like all You Tube video — free to
link to and watch. Enjoy! As time
goes on, more videos will be posted by teams.
Year's Event: Nov. 7-11, 2012
Plan now
for the 14th annual Cabo Tuna Jackpot. It's planned, as always, for
the first Wednesday through Saturday of November, so this year the tourney will
be staged AFTER Halloween and after the elections, Nov. 7-11. There will be NO major schedule changes, although
check-in may be held at the new Wyndham Hotel pool now under construction,
if feasible.
Also, a
salsa party may be added, as well as a special charity champagne charter on the start boat Oceanus the second day for ladies who are
not fishing. We're always looking for ways to have more fun.
The cost to
enter will not change, $800 for a team of up to four anglers, plus
jackpots. A new entry form will be
created soon, so watch for it in the coming weeks.
If your
company is interested in sponsoring the tournament next year and even attend
the tourney, please contact WON's Chuck Buhagiar at firstname.lastname@example.com.

EPG Search can be used a replacement EPG view. It extends the standard EPG view (ie. search for rebroadcasts), a command menu for epg events and a search function for EPG. The search may create automatically timers.
This 'search timers', search for broadcasts in the background and add a timer if one matches (similar to VDRAdmin's auto-timers) or simply announce it via OSD. Once you have created your searches, any programme(s) matching your criteria (Programme title/description; start/end time; channel etc.), it will be recorded. So you can record every episode of a series automatically.
A timer-conflict-check checks in the background for overlapping timers and if one cannot be record it informs the user via OSD. The conflict can then be resolved with an easy to handle OSD menu.
Epgsearch can inform you with an email at timer-updates and/or at timer-conflicts and you can use user defined variables for use in searchtimers and for calling external scripts to influence timer creation.

text: 2007 Updates Berlin So, building now towards the Spring 2007, Haupseminar Course at the JFK, Berlin...introducing some KB principles early on as they apply to the beginnings of US media (radio, tv and film): George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" (2005) takes its significant and timely place in a Hollywood genre lineage that, since the 1970s, has assumed to represent the development of U.S. television. The film's critical and commercial success - as topped by 2006 Oscar recognitions - confirm how relevant these issues remain for present-day audiences. This course places "Good Night and Good Luck" in a deep historical context by focusing critically on former Hollywood films that, from the 1970s to the 1990s, also assumed to represent the working practices of U.S. broadcast news, cable news media and Reality TV. The spine of the course will therefore explore how ten corporate intertextualities - from Network (20th Century Fox, 1976) to The Insider (Touchstone, 1999) - reflected public disquiet about media ownership, gender representation, corporate mergers, free speech, new technologies, war coverage, and even the influential powers of market journalism itself. The rhetorics of such texts are considerd in a uniquely Burkian perspective. In addition, our study will be enriched by contextual histories, which, since the 1920s, consider relevant legal, institutional and political interventions in the early development of the U.S. public media. This will lead to a Case Study analysis of cable news coverage post 9/11. The course is an update of a book publication by the Course Leader which itself became the focus of intense public and on-air debate during 2005 General Elections in Eastern Europe.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The youngest crime victims in Texas have another law enforcement unit ready to help.
The Department of Public Safety has announced creation of the Texas Crimes Against Children Center within the Texas Rangers division.
DPS on Tuesday said the center will help protect children through the collection and dissemination of intelligence, investigative support and cooperation with victim-assistance counselors.
Center staff will also help coordinate investigations related to missing and exploited children, trafficking, child abductions and other high-risk threats to young people.
DPS already teaches law officers about indicators to identify and recover missing or exploited children during standard traffic stops. The agency, with help from that program, has initiated more than 30 criminal investigations and recovered 112 missing or endangered children since 2010.

Deep in the desert on a moonless night, you may hear this music grow louder and louder. It's the Ghost Train! Lots of acoustic, electric and slide guitar in this tune to go with the rolling drum beat and an organ with Native American influences. A little bit of a Mark Knopler/Dire Straits flavor too.
Here's another train song: Riding the E Train.

This is kind of a big deal for me. No, this shouldn't be on OSNews, and no, at this particular moment, I really don't care that you're right about that.

I'm going to enjoy the sunshine for a moment. And I'm leaving my phone on vibrate in the kitchen.
