(Contemporary Literary Criticism)
Fritz Lang 1890–1976
Austrian-born director, screenwriter, producer, and actor.
The followingentry presents criticism of Lang's work through 1994. For further information on his life and career, see CLC, Volume 20.
Lang is considered by many critics to be one of the cinema's finest directors. From his technical accomplishments in the films from his German period to his experimentation with genre in Hollywood, Lang has influenced many directors. He is best known for the suspense, conflict, and violence inherent in his work.
Biographical Information
Lang was born in Vienna on December 5, 1890. His father was an architect and wanted Lang to pursue the same career. Lang studied engineering at the College of Technical Science in Vienna from 1908 to 1911 and then studied architecture at the Academy of Graphic Arts in Munich. However, his interest was in other artistic pursuits. Lang spent some time in Paris working as a cartoonist, fashion designer, and painter. At the outbreak of World War I Lang was forced to flee France, which was then at war with Austria. He returned to Vienna and served in the army from 1914–16. After his discharge from the army, he worked as a scriptwriter and an actor, and then moved to Berlin where he worked for Decla as a reader and story editor. Lang wrote and directed his first film, Halbblut (Half Caste, 1919), in 1919. In 1920, he married Thea von Harbou, a writer and former actress who collaborated with him on the films of his German period. One of these films was Metropolis (1927), which brought Lang to the attention of Adolf Hitler. After the Nazis took power in Germany, Joseph Goebbels offered Lang the position of supervisor of German film production; both Goebbels and Hitler admired his work and were willing to overlook the fact that Lang's mother was Jewish. Lang fled Germany in 1933 soon after the offer was made. When he left Germany, von Harbou remained and made movies for the Nazis. Lang spent a short time in Paris and London, then relocated to Hollywood. He became a U.S. citizen in 1939. In 1945 he became the co-founder and president of Diana Productions, which subsequently folded. He finally left Hollywood in 1956, citing continuing disputes with producers. He made several more films in Germany and then retired in California. Lang died in Beverly Hills on August 2, 1976.
Major Works
The silent films of Lang's German period are monuments of narrative technique. Lang's main theme is the link between the decline in morality to the technological advances of capitalism. Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, 1921) follows the activity of a master criminal, but also shows the depravity of the society around him. In the film Lang criticized post-war Germany, which he depicted as plagued by economic chaos, political extremism, and a loss of values. Next, Lang made Die Nibelungen, Part I: Siegfrieds Tod and Part II: Kriemhilds Rache (Death of Siegfried and Kriemhild's Revenge, 1924) which focused on the heroic past of German mythology. The film relates the exploits of German mythological figures such as Siegfried, Brunhild, and Kriemhild. Lang went from contemporary Germany to Germany's mythic past, then to the future in Metropolis. Metropolis is a science fiction vision of a future in which technology is used to oppress, instead of liberate, the masses. In Lang's version of the future, men have built a glittering city, but it is built upon a subterranean factory and city of workers. The workers become part of the dehumanized technology of the factory and are not allowed to enter the city. The film showed Lang's continued interest in architecture, even though he had not pursued it as a profession. The studio spent $2 million on the film and the architectural design and scope of the picture was unprecedented. Die Frau im Mond (The Girl in the Moon, 1929) was the culmination of Lang's German work. It combined elements of mysticism, architectural motifs, and melodrama in a story about a flight to the moon to search for gold on the moon's crust. M, Morder unter Uns (M, 1931) was the first film Lang made with sound, enabling him to turn his attention to more psychological themes. The film is the study of a child killer and uses a changing point of view, with the killer at different times portrayed as horrifying or pitiful. Lang's last German film, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse (The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, 1933) was banned in Germany because of its anti-Nazi overtones. Lang experimented with different genres while in Hollywood, including a few successful westerns and war movies, but most of his work from this time consisted of crime thrillers. His first American film was Fury (1936), an anti-lynching drama. His You Only Live Once (1937) is a drama about the consequences of wrongful conviction. In the 1940s he directed several pictures in the film noir style. These films dealt with such themes as guilt and innocence, and the role of the femme fatale. One of Lang's common concerns in both his German and American work was the impact of the decline in patriarchal authority on both the individual and society. In Lang's films the lack of a strong male figure creates feminized men, such as the killer in M and the characters of Manners and Walter Kyne in While the City Sleeps (1956). In Scarlet Street (1945) Lang also shows how the family and the corporation depend on a certain form of masculinity, and the disaster that follows from its absence.
Critical Reception
Critics praise the silent films of Lang's German era for breaking new ground and setting new standards for the industry. Lang was on the edge of technological accomplishment, using the most skilled artists in the German film industry. The films from his Hollywood period are generally less well-regarded because they are more conventional, typical of films made in the Hollywood studio system. However, some reviewers find the Hollywood films more important because of their emphasis on plot and psychological drama. Another important difference noted by critics is that in his German silent films, Lang wrote, or cowrote with von Harbou, his own scripts. Therefore the films were singular in vision from the start. In Hollywood Lang directed the scripts of studio writers. Even with this difference, however, some critics see a consistent vision in all of his work. Reviewers comment that Lang is concerned with character and how it affects human fate, and that he is preoccupied with the dark side of human nature.

Cathay and cabin crew union agree deal, lifting threat of action
Fear of action lifted as marathon meeting ends with cabin crew deciding not to pursue pay rise and to settle for agreement on working practices
Related topics
Cathay Pacific's cabin crew called off the threat of industrial action yesterday after striking a deal on working arrangements.
A marathon meeting between representatives from the airline, the Cathay Pacific Flight Attendants Union and the Labour Department began at 11am on Wednesday and finally ended at 1pm yesterday.
The talks were adjourned for a few hours yesterday morning, when it was far from certain a deal would be struck. Holding back tears, union chairwoman Dora Lai Yuk-sim said during the break that the airline would be given until noon to respond to the flight attendants' demands.
If no agreement was reached, the union would go ahead with a work-to-rule today, which would be escalated to a strike on New Year's Eve. But at a brief meeting after the deadline, the two sides struck a deal.
"We see significant progress in the agreement we signed, so industrial action is not a consideration any more. I am happy about this outcome," Lai said.
The union decided not to pursue a pay rise above the 2 per cent it was offered, having originally asked for a 5 per cent increase for its 6,000 members. But it won improvements for staff working on "red-eye flights" that require cabin crew to work overnight with only about an hour between shifts. The union has called the practice "inhuman".
Cathay operates three such flights a day. Lai said the airline agreed that cabin crew can take a night's rest in Singapore - one of the three destinations - before they fly back to Hong Kong.
On the other two flights, arrangements will be changed to allow crew to rest while onboard. They will not spend the night at their destinations.
"Let's say we can spend a night at Singapore, we will get a HK$500 outport allowance. That's much more than the HK$200 we get from the 2 per cent pay rise," Lai said, explaining why the union did not pursue a higher pay rise.
The union also got a concession on a cross-base flying scheme, in which Cathay proposed that staff posted overseas can fly between more of its bases than at present. The union wanted to scrap the proposal, fearing local crew would be replaced.
Both sides agreed that though the scheme would still go ahead next month, crews based outside Hong Kong will not exceed 15 per cent of Cathay's total cabin crew staff. And the number of non- local crew on flights will not exceed half of the total.
This part of the agreement will be reviewed after two years.
Lastly, Lai said the airline agreed to review general flight patterns so that crews get more rest and time at outports.
Cathay's general manager of cabin crew, Liza Ng, said she was pleased with the outcome. "It doesn't matter how long the meeting was, the important thing is that both sides are satisfied with the result," she said.
The result of the meeting echoed what Cathay's chief executive John Slosar said in an interview with the Post on Monday.
"If you go back and look at the past, things can normally get resolved quickly," he said.

Picture: Damon Dash at The Black Star Concert presented by BlackSmith and Live N Direct held at The Nokia Theater New York City, USA - 30.05.09
Music mogul Damon Dash allegedly owes almost $3 million (£1.87 million) to the U.S. government in unpaid taxes.
Internal Revenue Service (Irs) bosses filed a lien against the star at the New York City Register's Office last month (Jun11).
The papers, obtained by The Detroit News, suggest Dash owes $2,984,364 (£1,865,227) in unpaid tax bills.
Dash's money woes hit the headlines in 2009 when two of his New York properties went into foreclosure and he was accused of owing $2 million (£1.25 million) in state taxes.
For sheer guts alone, one has to applaud the makers of The Woodsman, who must...

Ballyheigue sunset inspires Oscar dress
DON O'Neill's emotional week did take a turn for the better on Sunday night when US TV presenter Mary Kitchen chose a very special gown to wear to the Oscars - his stunning sunset gown inspired by his native Ballyheigue.
The beautiful brunette looked amazing in the dress that is hugely personal to him - as it was inspired by the Ballyheigue sunsets he treasures.
"I'm beyond excited, beyond thrilled and beyond moved," he told The Kerryman. "Ballyheigue on the red carpet at the Oscars. Whoever in their wildest dreams could have imagined this."
In a tweet to the OMG Inside presenter, Don said: "Thank you for bringing Ballyheigue sunset to the Oscar red carpet. You look stunning! Woohoo."
He later added: "That dress is so special to me and so honoured you chose to wear it to the Oscars #ballyheigueSunsetfabulous"

Via Danny Knobler, the Yankees will release lefty Randy Flores tomorrow by mutual consent. He signed a minor league contract in May, but was pretty bad with Triple-A Scranton and didn't get a chance to show what he's got with the big league team. Left-handed batters hit .259 with 14 hits in as many innings off Flores coming into today, and tonight he gave up a two-run bomb to lose the game.

|[Hadoop Wiki] Update of "Hive/Development/ContributorsMeetings/HiveContributorsMinutes100601" by CarlSteinbach
|Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:05:28 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The "Hive/Development/ContributorsMeetings/HiveContributorsMinutes100601" page has been changed by CarlSteinbach. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/Development/ContributorsMeetings/HiveContributorsMinutes100601 -------------------------------------------------- New page: Notes provided by Namit Jain. The following people were present: * Facebook (Paul Yang; Ning Zhang; Yongqiang He; Ahmed Aly; John Sichi; Ashish Thusoo; Namit Jain) * Netflix (Eva Tse; Jerome Boulon) * Cloudera (Arvind Prabhakar; Vinithra Varadharajan; Carl Steinbach) * Yahoo (Alan Gates) The following were the main meeting minutes: 1. We should have these meetings more often, say every month. Cloudera will host the next meeting. 2. We should try to have a release every 4 months. We should try to push out 0.6 before end of June, For the new release, Cloudera will take a lead on the release management issues and also help with documentation. Documentation for Hive leaves a lot to be desired. 3. The test framework is pretty brittle, and it is pretty difficult for new people to do big contributions without having a very sound test-plan. Ideally, facebook should host a test cluster so that everyone can run tests there. 4. A lot of external customers are asking for ODBC/JDBC support on top of Hive. Cloudera will take the lead on that. 5. The process of making a new committer should be more transparent. In order to grow the community, it would be very desirable to add more committers outside Facebook. 6. Create new components for Drivers (ODBC/JDBC) and UDFs. 7. Yahoo will take the lead of making Hive work on top of Zebra Some new tasks were identified, but they can change if new priorities come in. 8. Carl will focusing on 'having' support and co-related sub-queries. 9. Arvind will be focusing on the cost-based optimizer The main idea was that we should meet more often and share our ideas. Time-based release will be very desirable.

- Alpha Mass, By Forerunner Labs, 168 Liquid Caps
ForeRunner Labs Alpha Mass - Potent DHEA Analog
When Forerunner Labs set out to find the most effective muscle builder legally available it was without a doubt 1-DHEA, the powerful 1-Testosterone prohormone.
Still we needed to make it the best prohormone on the market. It certainly has its weaknesses in its standard form (plain ole 1-DHEA). And to reinvent an already great prohormone we had to do something extreme. So what did we create? Introducing Ultra 1-DHEA
Ultra 1-DHEA is the powerhouse of Alpha Mass. It leads to lean muscle gains, and explosive strength. Ultra 1-DHEA accomplishes this by increasing lymphatic absorption which results in a biological effect that is over 80% greater than standard 1-DHEA!
But ForeRunner Labs didn't stop there…
We could have stopped right there and been happy with the product. But why not make it even better? Knowing that even lymphatic absorption is limited to approximately 5-15%, that still leaves a lot of 1-DHEA unprotected from the dreaded first pass metabolism.
How did we get around this problem?Easy! We used one very well known natural supplement (berberine) and another lesser well known daddy of berberine (rhizoma coptidis) to decrease the enzymes that break down 1-DHEA that render it useless. These two have been shown to increase the bioavailability of other compounds 19% or greater!
Icing on the cake: to top it all off ForeRunner Labs added a powerful element known as cobalt. Cobalt not only decreases the enzymes that break down 1-DHEA (increasing bioavailability), but it also dramatically increases the oxygen supply to your muscles so you can train harder and longer!
Putting it all together...
Finally we wanted to ensure the Ultra 1-DHEA is stable once it reaches its intended environment (your digestive system). To do this we used a liquid cap containing a Hormone Carrier Matrix that optimizes the delivery of Ultra 1-DHEA. There is MORE! By creating Ultra 1-DHEA we still avoid losing any of the benefits of the previous versions of 1-DHEA. This includes no conversion to DHT or estrogen. And we give you 168 liquid caps per bottle so you can dose it as you see fit and stack it with any other prohormones you love.

Unimpressive season start for Alcoa as aluminium giant reports loss
Alcoa kicked off U.S. earnings season on Tuesday, reporting earnings ahead of expectations as revenues missed forecasts.
"There are a number of reasons to be cautious right now, whether that be corporate earnings season, which people are fairly pessimistic about, or the ongoing crisis in Ukraine that has flared up again this week," Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari, said.
The travel and leisure sector gained 0.4pc, a top riser, led higher by an upgrade to Ryanair by Barclays, with investors also focused on Lufthansa's traffic numbers later in the morning.

A progressive rumble felt perhaps toward front but feel it more when out on the freeway as you pick up speed. Quiets down as you slow down. A mechanic checked says the underneath isn't loose. Says he thought it might be transmission or transfer case.
The tires we had rotated to back were worn and rounded before rotating to back with the back tires now on front, in good shape. Don't see any obvious wore out on the inside as the back were. Replaced the back with new recently. A ball joint was replace on the front passenger side 1 and half years ago and immediately had alignment.
Basic maintenance oil change, spark plugs, etc, a few years ago.
Think the rumble was barely noticable when we bought it 3 yrs ago. Has progressively gotten worse, very noticeable now.
Would like to have fixed before totally breaks down. Any suggestions on what else to look for or preventive measure that can be taken and Identification of problem would be helpful-probably most of all, :).
Thank you

Georges St-Pierre vs. Anderson Silva: Why the Potential Superfight Is a Bad IdeaAugust 26, 2011
In the past four years, the UFC has seen 15 different champions throughout its five divisions (prior to the infusion of the featherweight and bantamweight classes); its Welterweight and Middleweight divisions combined have seen two. While all other UFC Champions have averaged 0.71 title defenses each over that time, Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva have had six and eight defenses respectively. If that is not dominance, I do not know what is.
Throughout the past year, there has been a strong push from fans and, on occasion, Dana White for the two most dominant fighters in UFC history to meet in a superfight. Questions began with whether the catchweight would be 175 lbs or 180 lbs. Then if Silva could still make 170 lbs (something he has not done in over six years). Recently the assumption has become that for the superfight to happen, St-Pierre would make the full-time move up to Middleweight and challenge Silva for his title.
Obviously, a matchup between the two most dominant fighters on the planet, especially when they are so close in weight, is a highly intriguing matchup; but is it the right fight for the UFC to make?
From a business standpoint, putting together a superfight between GSP and Anderson Silva would be a poor investment where the short-term gains do not come close to matching the long-terms losses. Seeing as though Silva and St-Pierre are two of the UFC's three biggest PPV draws, it is pretty safe to assume that a card headlined by the two of them would be the highest grossing event in MMA history.
That being said, no matter the outcome, the promotion would be effectively torpedoing the value of one of its biggest draws and damaging the immediate marketability of one of its most exciting divisions.
First, while there are tons of good welterweights on the UFC roster, taking GSP out of the division would do serious damage to the division's marketability. St-Pierre sells fights no matter the opponent. Whether the fight is potentially competitive (Penn II) or clearly a mismatch (Hardy), when GSP headlines a card it sells.
Without St-Pierre, it would take a while to build another solid 170-pound draw. Even when the second biggest draw in the division (BJ Penn) fought the second best fighter in the division (Jon Fitch), the card barely sold (just over 250,000 PPV buys).
Secondly, the implications of the fight are lose-lose.
If Silva were to win, it would certainly damage the status of the UFC's golden boy and second biggest draw (behind Lesnar), GSP. Georges has already stated that a move to 185 would be permanent and even if an immediate rematch was called for that would only be two fights before the face of the promotion was relegated back to climbing the ladder.
If Silva were to decimate GSP, it would be nearly impossible to put St-Pierre back in the title picture for at least a year (see Vitor Belfort). Either way, a GSP loss would severely damage his marketability and would take millions of dollars out of the Zuffa's pockets.
If St-Pierre were to beat Silva, it would force Anderson to make a permanent move to 205. While he has certainly had his fair share of success at Light Heavyweight in the past, it is in no way a certainty that he would succeed in reaching the pinnacle of the division. If were to lose on his way up the ladder it would effectively take one of the most exciting fighters in the world out of the main event picture.
While a potential superfight between consensus pound-for-pound #1 and #2 Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva would certainly reach record grossing numbers, in the long run the outcome of the fight would be a financial lose-lose.

Hall, C. and Slembrouck, S. (2011) 'Interviewing parents of children in care : perspectives, discourse and accountability.', Children and youth services review., 33 (3). pp. 457-465.
The 'parental perspective' in child care work is a matter of concern and is actively solicited by practitioners, managers, policymakers and researchers for differing reasons. This paper argues that the search for such a stable "parental perspective" should be abandoned and suggest that research should embrace a social constructionist turn by concentrating on how parents' views are negotiated conversationally in discourse. Using data drawn from research interviews with parents of children in care and employing conversation and discourse analytic methods, the paper demonstrates how there are critical issues of accountability, blame, and testing at stake in the interview encounter, as interviewer and interviewee jointly produce a moral version of the client, the institution, the case and its attributes. The implications of this argument are delineated.

If just a sane(and by sane I mean use the "debian default" in this situation exim4) default is used when used non-interactively I can only see that it will help.

Two killed in apparent murder-suicide at Texas Walmart
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
Two people were killed inside a Walmart store in an apparent murder-suicide in Kaufman, Texas, on Tuesday, local media reported.
The Walmart is located about 30 miles southeast of Dallas and surrounding schools were placed on temporary lockdown when police initially believed there may have been an active shooter, Dallas TV station WFAA reported on its Twitter feed.
There was no indication of an active shooter, the local sheriff's department told reporters.
Kaufman police were not immediately available for comment.

Hello - I see you have posted another question. I hope you are not having difficulties. Are you able to read this?
I am really sorry to hear you have experienced difficulties.
Are you able to read all of the above now?

Would you like to continue?

Brooklyn's T.H.E.M. Recordings unveil their latest signee Innocent?, who kicks off the album campaign for his forthcoming Love It Or Hate It LP, with the visuals for the Roc Marciano assisted single "Time For Change." Production for the single is supplied by France's Alterbeats crew who blend triumphant horn stabs and hard drums alongside DJ Modesty's scratch chorus that fuses quotables from M.O.P., and A.G. Directed by Donald Robinson Cole III, the video depicts both emcees swapping verses in front of various Manhattan backdrops as they declare their resolution to stop waiting for change and make it happen themselves. Love It Or Hate It is scheduled for an early third quarter 2013 release and is set to include guest appearances from label mate Mic Handz, Roc Marciano and Tha Rockness Monstah, among others. Let the trials of Innocent? vs. The People commence…

Google recently introduced its Chrome 9 browser and even if you are loyal Firefox or IE user, its worth looking into.
Chrome 9 is very fast and it feels like the fastest browser around. We especially liked the fact that the address bar and search bar are now unified and it is easier than ever to google things up.
Firefox 4 got to beta 11, which also works quite well, but general impression is that Chrome 9 is faster. We have to admit that you won't go wrong with any of those, and even the release candidate of Internet Explorer 9 shaped up to be a quite nice browser.
We hope to see the final version of Internet Explorer and Firefox shortly but even in their beta / release candidate phase they work quite nice. The next generation of browsers definitely offers a wind of change.

The Asus 1005HA netbook is now available to order! Having having shown up on Amazon for a short time, and then removed, the Asus Eee PC 1005HA is back again, and available to order.
The Asus Eee PC 1005HA looks great, and very much like the Asus 1008HA, with the Seashell design. The main difference between the 1005HA and the 1008HA is the battery is non removable in the 1008HA.
This means that with the 1005HA you can replace a drained battery while on the go, and keep on going. It should be noted that the 1005HA is slightly thicker than the 1008HA due to the removable battery, but it is still very slim indeed.
The Asus 1005HA is currently up for pre-order on Amazon in Black and Blue color options for just $389.

You may remember that Calpernia and Bingo Boy went on a road trip last week. Allllllllllll the way to beautiful Monterey Bay California to perform a Travlin' Bingo Show for the students at Cal State University Monterey Bay.
I actually remembered to take pictures to document this momentous occasion and I thought that I would share them with you. Nothing too exciting but fun.
After hitting the road in my brand new car, we drove for about an hour before we were already hungry, had to pee and get gas. We stopped in beautiful Gorman, California at a "Gas N Go" and look what we found! A women's shoe store! In a gas station! Such clever marketing. "Honey, you go fill up the tank, I just have to try on these beautiful black pumps! I think they're Kate Spade!" Alas, we resisted and did not buy anything.
Our next stop, which was about another hour later, and was to eat lunch- was at the Wild Horse Inn in beautiful King City! This beautiful diner not only served great food (had a beef dip sandwich with fries) but also had a pretty large "pop up" holiday gift table! Alas, we resisted and did not buy anything, not even the cool "mason jar on a wine stem" glasses that I believe was either glorifying or making fun of white trash.
Just a quick note about my room at The Holiday Inn Express- it was very VIP since I was on a corner and had TWO windows.
Around 6 pm I texted Calpernia to see if she wanted dinner and she said yes but that she was in line at Walmart. Only Calpernia would walk to a Walmart in a strange city just to see what they have.
On our way to our gig we stopped and took a selfie with front desk clerk Alex. I believe that we intrigued him just a bit.
Jumpin' Jehosephat! Look at the line waiting for the doors to open for our big bingo event!
And look at that! We sold out the place! They moved us to a bigger room than last time and we STILL sold out the place! Over 250 students attended at 9 pm on a Thursday night! We still got it, I tell ya. We still got it.
One perk of the event was being able to drink all of the tiny cups of hot chocolate that you wanted. With tiny marshmallows! Thank you Starbucks!
Another perk was having our very own tech guy who put the numbers that we called up on a big video screen! Just like at "REAL BINGO"! His name is Zorian and he did a great job.
Of course everyone wanted a photo with Calpernia. It looks like she is being tackled but they were very gentle with her.
The next morning we met up in the little serve yourself cafe at Holiday Inn Express and I reacquainted myself with my old friend…..
The automatic pancake maker! I remember this guy from last time we were there and have been dreaming about him ever since. Just press the button and a big fluffy pancake shoots out the side in a "minute flat!"
Alas I was sorely disappointed by my pancake.
What the hell is that? It looks like a car or a bug or a small uncircumcised penis with very tight balls. Don't worry. Later a nice woman fixed the machine and I did have my fluffy pancake. I was so busy eating it I forgot to take a photo so just use your imagination.
On the way home, we stopped in beautiful Beullton so that I could visit the Andersen's Pea Soup Restaurant! As a kid we used to stop there for every vacation (even the one to France and that was a bit odd but…). Place is still the same and the pea soup was delicious! And guess what? I bought things at their gift store! Oh Andersen's Split Pea, you know I can never resist you!
Well it was fun and we look forward to our next road trip. Hope you had fun too.
This Wednesday at Hamburger Mary's we have the gorgeous Ingenue (The Star) hosting bingo with Bingo Boy! She is a real treat and is really getting the hang of our balls!
Our next DTLA bingo will be Thursday, December 15th so mark it on your calendar! It's our official DTLA Holiday show and the last one of the year at Grand Central Market. Shows at 8 pm and 9 pm!
You still have time to order your "Drag Queen Bingo: The Home Game" or one of our other new products in time for the holidays! Just click on the photo or stop by Hamburger Mary's!

(KXAS) -- Up to a foot of rain has fallen in a 12-hour period, causing flash flooding in the Austin area.
National Weather Service meteorologist Pat McDonald said Sunday that over a 12-hour period, the Barton Springs subdivision north of Austin got 12.1 inches of rain and downtown Austin received 10.6 inches.
He said there have been numerous water rescues in the area. More rain is forecast in the coming days.
The downpours may not help alleviate the drought in some parts of Central Texas, as the heaviest rains fell downstream from two lakes that are at near-record low water levels.
The deluge in Austin forced Austin City Limits Music Festival organizers to cancel the final day of the two-weekend event.

Now, Chinese tailors copy Kate's wedding gownMay 1st, 2011 - 1:40 pm ICT by ANI
London, May 01 (ANI): It has emerged that Duchess of Cambridge Kate's elegant wedding dress is now being copied by Chinese tailors.
In the eastern Chinese city of Suzhou, teams of tailors have already whirred into action to copy the Kate's bridal gown.
Many of the 700 wedding dress factories and shops that cluster around Tiger hill, in the city's old town, confirmed that they are planning to offer their customers a cut-price version of the design by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
"We have copied lots of dresses in the past, and our tailors copied Princess Diana's dress to around 90 per cent accuracy," the Telegraph quoted Xu Xiang, the 24-year-old production manager of the Bo En Qiao wedding dress factory, as saying.
"It will now take us 15 to 20 days to make up a version of the latest royal wedding dress. Our dresses go for around 70 pounds to 90 pounds," she added.
At that price, of course, the Chinese copy of the bridal gown will not come with three petticoats of lace, hand-stitched using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, and nor will be made with the same quality of ivory satin.
"Of course we will have to use something cheaper," said Xu, fingering the polyester bodice of one of her studio's creations.
As for the Duchess' 9ft-long train, Xu said she would include it if a customer asked for it.
"We were prepared to do a train as long as Princess Diana's. We made one that was 60ft-long once," she added. (ANI)

The protagonists travel into a Fire Nation town, which is hosting a festival of Fire Nation culture. Unfortunately, Aang's identity is discovered, but a strange man, Chey, helps the gang escape. Chey tells the trio about "the deserter", a man named Jeong Jeong who is the first man to desert the Fire Nation army and live. More importantly, he is a firebender who is not allied with the Fire Nation. However, Jeong Jeong refuses to teach Aang, still haunted by his failure to teach self-control to a previous student; it is only when Avatar Roku intervenes that Jeong Jeong consents to teach Aang. Aang, unfortunately, shows the same disregard for discipline, and accidentally burns Katara. While she discovers that she can heal others, and herself as well, Aang still regards firebending as dangerous and vows never to firebend again. Meanwhile, Aang is tracked down by Admiral Zhao, who is revealed to be Jeong Jeong's undisciplined former student. He fights Aang, but Aang is able to escape him by using his lack of self-control against him; he causes Zhao to burn his own ship.

LORDSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A second meeting on a proposed natural gas to electricity plant was held in Lordstown Thursday afternoon.
The company behind the project is based out of the Boston, Mass., area and is responsible for two other similar projects in the Buckeye State. The meeting was about converting natural gas to electricity using state-of-the-art technology and if built, would provide electricity from the edge of Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
Zone change needed for Lordstown plant.
The proposed Trumbull County plant would cost $800 million to build and it would all be done with private funds. If the company is able to get past several of the hurdles and start building, it would employ more than 500 construction workers for at least three years, and provide an additional 28 permanent jobs.
Company officials said there are a total of 57 acres they would acquire, but they would only use 14 for the actual facility. The remaining property would be used as a natural buffer zone so the plant would not be looked at as an eyesore. A vacant building on the property would be removed.
People still a lot of questions, but Clean Energy Future, LLC president William Siderewicz said it will only benefit people in the area.
"I would say economic stability for the village and improved school system and services," he said.
Resident Jim London said he has some concerns.
"My concerns are when issues like this come up, there is so much hearsay and scuttlebutt," London said.
Siderewicz said residents are willing to listen to the facts and provide feedback, saying he is "reasonably optimistic" the project will get support.
At the state level, the plant has to gain approval from the Ohio EPA and another state agency. On a local level, zoning changes would be required to move forward with the project.

Tarot cards can provide many things: creative inspiration, spiritual guidance, drunken dorm room fun. Possibly their best use is as a playground for pop cultural mashups. redditor jlambertstl decided that a traditional Rider-Waite deck just wasn't going to cut it, and thus we are given: Futurama tarot cards!

I've been toying with taking my vacation around Rhinebeck, but I don't think I can foot the bill to get up there and still find a place to stay. Because, of course, I can't bear to go for a measly four hours (as bus trips from 'around here' would do). My wish would be to take the Greyhound, but it gets sticky for the financially impaired.
Is anyone near the city willing and able to take in a fellow knitter for a night or two or three?

One of the greatest challenges facing England fans at Euro 2012 will be communication.
The official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian, although Russian is widely spoken.
In Kiev the metro system has recently installed signs in English as well as the Cyrillic alphabet to help supporters travelling around the capital.
But English is not common in Ukraine, and fans will find it easier if they learn a small amount of the native language.
Here are some phonetic translations of Ukrainian words and phrases:
Hello: Pree veet
Goodbye: Do po-ba-chen-ya
Yes: Tak
No: Ni
Please: Boot la-ska
Thank you: Dya-ku-you
My name is...: Mene zvut...
I'm from England: Ya z an-hli-yi
Do you speak English?: V sna yete angli isco?
How to get to the stadium?: Jak doyhaty na stadion?
How much is a ticket?: Skylky koshtuye bylet?
Goal: Hol
Penalty: Pe-nal-ti

The score is 3-0 to England: Ra-khu-nok try nul na ko-ryst an-hli-yi
Can I look at the menu please?: Mohzh-nah meh-nyoo boot la-ska?

Lyeth L de Lyeth Meritage 2006
Winemaker's Notes:
The award-winning Lyeth Red Meritage most often consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The inviting prelude leads to fully-developed flavors that linger on the palate in a long, silky finish. Scents of spice and vanilla are well-balanced against the assertive fruit characters. Winemaker
Member Reviews for Lyeth L de Lyeth MeritageAdd your review
Not a bad wine but this one just lacks any excitement.
Showing age on the nose. Truffle notes, forest floor, some cola, dried flowers, leaves and red fruits. On the palate, retains fair structure. Dusty red berry fruit with hints of pepper. Relaxed tannin and nicely balanced acid. Starting to weaken a bit though, short finish. Still tasty, but a tad watered down, so drink now. 84 pts
- Tasted at Lee's Wine Experience 11/7/09
What's New in Booze - 9.2 out of 10 ripe red and black berry aromas and flavors, some black pepper, a hint of licorice and clove spice, firm tannins, and ample acidity. With the initial harshness replaced by a smooth texture and fairly long, ripe finish that might end up just a touch too hot. Enjoy this wine with a fatty ribeye, porterhouse or assortment of strong cheeses. Drink now through 2015.

Are we amending the constitution (no > way to get that done by the 15th), or is this just an informal agreement for > each chair to vacate after a term of two months? I don't think we need to amend the constitution for that. I mean, the constitution says that the vote for the committee chair begins a week before the chair would be vacated, and that all members are nominated. For Anthony's proposal, (which I think Ian tentatively agreed to) the chair would (assuming I'm right about Ian's agreement) be vacated on 15 Feb, which means that voting opens on 8 Feb. [That's today.] We are approaching this from a different angle than the constitution implies -- we not only have everyone on the ballot, we have everyone on the ballot in a scheduled fashion. But unless someone in the committee raises a serious objection to this approach, I don't see that it should be a problem. I'll vote in favor of this proposal -- contingent on Ian's continued agreement. Thanks, -- Raul

Intermittent claudication is a tight, aching, or squeezing pain in the calf, foot, thigh, or buttock that occurs during exercise, such as walking up a steep hill or a flight of stairs. This pain usually occurs after the same amount of exercise, intensifies until exercise becomes impossible, and is relieved by rest.
Intermittent claudication is the main symptom of peripheral arterial disease. As the condition gets worse, leg pain may occur even at rest (rest pain or rest claudication). Medicines and procedures are available to treat this condition.

The bishop's quandary
Prelate Wilton Gregory is more identified with reform than anyone else at the top of America's Catholic hierarchy. The question is how - and if - this prudent insider will use his power to buck the system.
By Charles P. Pierce, Globe Staff, 7/21/2002
his is the way the weather comes. The dust rises. The grass waves. The corn shivers, and the trees shake. The sky lowers and it almost seems suspended on the quivering treetops, and then the weather arrives, all at once: rain and thunder, and lightning striking down in jagged veins until you can smell the ozone burning like a great unbridled fire at the heart of the sky. This is the way the weather comes, swift and sudden, its momentum ceaseless and inexorable, hammering down on the barns and bean fields of southern Illinois, down on the city of Belleville, thrumming off the copper roof of the cathedral from every direction that the wind can bring it down.
Through the stained-glass windows depicting hero priests being scalped by wild Indians, the lightning flashes in deeper colors. The thunder is a distant, choral counterpoint to the singing of a line of priests, walking slowly up the center aisle toward the altar. They've come to honor with a liturgy older priests, some of whom have served for 60 years. The bishop of Belleville will preside over the Mass, and he is in fine voice this evening, singing past the thunder and the steady, percussive rain. As he turns up the center aisle, the bishop winks at a camera crew from Chicago that has come to tape a story about him, because the bishop of Belleville is not just any bishop anymore.
Wilton Gregory stands out in the procession, and not simply because of the accouterments of his office, and not simply because of the touch of kente cloth that adorns both his miter and the stole that drapes his shoulders. Consecrated a bishop when he was only 35 years old, today, at 54, he's a generation younger than several of the priests whom he is honoring. His face is round and animated, and there is still a sort of roll to his walk. Also, he's African-American, and this line of priests is whiter than the Politburo ever was. And he stands out because he is the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which has made him the public face on the greatest crisis the Roman Catholic Church has known since the days in which it was saddled with two popes who hated each other.
Gregory has watched the scandal of clerical sexual abuse run through the church like an underground fire, breaking to the surface here and there until it erupted into a general conflagration over the past year. In the mid-1980s, Gregory saw his mentor, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, develop one of the first policies to deal with the crimes of the clergy and vainly urge it upon the church at large. (He even saw Bernardin, now deceased, himself falsely accused of sexual abuse and survive only because he confronted the charges openly.) In 1993, when Bernardin sent him to Belleville, Gregory walked into a rat's nest of baroque sexual corruption, highlighted by a burglary carried out at one priest's home by a male prostitute from whom the priest regularly received massages in the nude.
As president of the bishops' conference, then, Gregory confronts a scandal with which he is completely familiar, and he does so out of a unique personal history inside the church that paradoxically makes him the perfect outsider to come in swinging the 11th chapter of Mark at those people in the church whose sins are so much worse than money-changing. At the same time, there's a career path that leads into the church's hierarchy and, on that track, Gregory has been a lifer, as clearly marked for the red hat of a cardinal as young British men were once marked for the sword belt. Early in his career as an auxiliary bishop in Chicago, Gregory was ordered to close the parish in which his Catholicism was first nurtured. He complied without argument.
Nobody knows how far the scandal will push him or how far Gregory is willing to push the church in response to it. He is the outsider who plays inside, his face so different from the face of his church that some people see a power in that very difference, if Gregory would only wield it. From the pulpit, he tells his brother priests that they "have gathered together for a jubilee," and there is something different in the way that he says "jubilee," something round and full and melismatic, drawn from other pulpits and from traditions other than the prideful Catholic one.
"We must live our lives as though we believe that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed," he concludes. "We are liars and we are fools if we do not." You can hear him, barely but clearly, over the thunder that cracks again outside.

Three things to know about the Feb. 6 Pittsburgh Steelers-Green Bay Packers matchup in Super Bowl XLV:
These teams had an exciting game during the 2009 regular season. The Steelers edged the Packers, 37-36, with a touchdown catch by Pittsburgh receiver Mike Wallace as time expired. Most of the core players from both teams will play in this rematch.
There's a lot of irony with Pittsburgh playing in the first Super Bowl at the new Cowboys Stadium. There is a long rivalry between the Cowboys and Steelers. Pittsburgh has six Super Bowl wins, one better than Dallas. This could be a nightmare scenario for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones if the Steelers are able to widen the championship gap and do it on the Cowboys' home turf.
Expect a lot of talk about the quarterbacks leading up to this game. Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers are both solidifying themselves as the next pair of elite quarterbacks to join stalwarts Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Roethlisberger has a chance to tie Brady for Super Bowl wins with three. This will be Rodgers' first Super Bowl appearance, but he has played at an elite level all season.

I couldn't fit what I wanted to ask in the subject line. My question is how do you tell a genuine psychic from a fraud? There is one local psychic I have been considering going to for a reading, but I know nothing of her. She doesn't have a website, and her sign just reads "Miss Ashley Palm and Mind Readings".
If I were to stop by or call her up for an appointment, what are some things I should look out for to determine if she really has any psychic ability?
It seems like she should be able to know why I'm there before I even tell her, no? I feel like the more info I give her, the easier it will be for her to just tell me anything and charge me money, you know?
Any info is appreciated.
