You could say that. I think they've had 4 wins and every one was the guy is engaged with someone who is not the legal man, then he comes in with the spear. I like what they're doing with the Shield and glad they dont need to flat out cheat every time to get a win despite the ZOMG NUMBERZ GAME PACK MENTALITY, but i just noticed they are winning their matches the exact same way each time.

last night might have been the least amount of time I've spent watching RAW. It wasn't like there was something else on either. Pirates were getting smoked, Penguins are off until Wednesday, and tv in general is rerun city. Storylines at the moment are just stale and I'm not sure what can be done to improve it.

Two police officers released by FARC-EP
Geneva / Bogotá (ICRC) – Two police officers being held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army (FARC-EP) were today released into the care of a humanitarian team made up of representatives of the ICRC and of the organization Colombianas y Colombianos por la Paz.
The handover took place in a rural area of Cauca department, in south-western Colombia.
The two police officers – Cristian Camilo Yate and Víctor González – were taken in ICRC vehicles to the city of Cali. An ICRC doctor who took part in the handover confirmed that they were in good health.
"We are delighted to have once again contributed to a successful release operation," said Jordi Raich, head of the ICRC delegation in Colombia. "We are always ready and willing to offer our services as a neutral intermediary in such cases."
The police officers had been held by the FARC-EP since 25 January, when they were captured between the municipalities of Florida and Pradera in Valle del Cauca department.
Since 1994, the ICRC has facilitated the release of more than 1,500 people held by different armed groups in Colombia. This was the second operation in 2013, following the release of a member of the armed forces in Catatumbo at the beginning of the year. In 2012, 36 release operations were facilitated by the ICRC.

Director: John R. Leonetti
Writer: Gary Dauberman
She terrified you in The Conjuring, but this is where it all began for Annabelle. Capable of unspeakable evil, the actual doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut—visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month. New Line Cinema's supernatural thriller Annabelle begins before the evil was unleashed.
John Form has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia—a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia's delight with Annabelle doesn't last long. On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now... Annabelle.
Annabelle Wallis (X-Men: First Class) and Ward Horton (The Wolf of Wall Street) star as the Forms. Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard (Cross Creek, Twelve Years a Slave) stars as Evelyn, a neighbor who owns a bookstore. Rounding out the cast are Kerry O'Malley (TV's Those Who Kill) and Brian Howe (Devil's Knot) as neighbors Sharon and Pete Higgins; Tony Amendola (TV's Once Upon A Time) as Father Perez; and Eric Ladin (TV's Boardwalk Empire) as Detective Clarkin.

64 HASKINS & SELLS August
Fiction for Fact
A RECENT New York decision tends
to clarify the atmosphere somewhat
with regard to shares of stock without par
value. It appears that the State Tax Commission,
in an action brought by the Terminal
and Town Taxi Corporation, contended
that shares of stock without par
value should, for purposes of taxation, be
valued at $100 a share. Judge Kellogg of
the Supreme Court, Appellate Division,
decided on July 6, 1922, "the assumption
that non-par value stock has a value of
$100 per share for purposes of the license
tax (section 181) is unwarranted, and the
provision that for purposes of the minimum
franchise tax (section 214) non-par value
stock shall be deemed to have a face value
of $100, is unconstitutional."
In the case decided, Terminal and Town
Taxi Corporation vs. Tax Commission of
the State of New York, the plaintiff contended
for a value of $8.55 per share instead
of $100 per share. The Terminal and
Town Taxi Corporation was a foreign corporation
doing business within the State of
New York. It had an authorized capital
stock of 15,000 shares preferred, par value
$100, and 23,500 shares of common, without
par value. Of the preferred stock, only
6,947 shares at $100 were issued. The
amount paid in for these shares was $694,-
700. Of the common stock, 13,837 shares
were issued, and the amount received
therefor was $117,500, or about $8.55 per
share. Although the total paid-in capital
was $812,200, the State Tax Commission,
in computing both the license tax and the
minimum franchise tax, used as a basis in
each instance the sum of $2,078,400 as
representing the capital of the company
employed within the state, and in arriving
at the tax the commission considered the
common stock as having a value of $100
per share.
Mr. Page Lawrence has been appointed
by the president of the Kansas City Chamber
of Commerce to serve on a committee
which will organize a cost accountants'
group of the Chamber and plan future
activities for the group.
We note with pleasure that Mr. A. W.
Hauge, of the staff of the Minneapolis
Office, has successfully passed the C. P. A.
examinations held by the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy in May, 1922.
Mr. C. M. Withus of the New York
Broad Street staff has been transferred to

Carter hails Aaron on anniversary of 715th home run
Former president Jimmy Carter spoke about the legacy of the 1964 Civil Rights Act on Tuesday night, but he and other baseball fans couldn't forget where they had been exactly 40 years before.
Like millions of Americans on the night of April 8, 1974, Carter watched Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth's once-untouchable record.
Carter had a better seat, however.
"I was there! Sitting on the front row!" a visibly excited Carter said during a civil rights summit at the Lyndon Johnson presidential library in Austin, Texas.
Aaron hit home run 715 in Atlanta. Carter was then the little-known governor of Georgia, two-and-a-half years before his surprise election as president.
Carter chuckled at the memory of a post-home run ceremony in which the local Chamber of Commerce awarded Aaron a new $10,000 car, while Carter presented the slugger with a special Georgia license plate — with the number "715" — worth $10.
"They gave him the Cadillac, I gave him the tag for it," Carter said.
Carter said he and Aaron are still friends.
"If I weren't here," Carter told the crowd in Austin, "I would be in Atlanta with Hank Aaron tonight."

Performing like an Olympian
Aside from my parents, nobody I know would call me athletic. Some might call me active or energetic, but when it comes to raw talent and strength, I'll never have what it takes to be competitive. Knowing that I only run, bike or play for fun makes me wonder about Olympians. What exactly is it about these athletes that allows them to deliver peak performance leading up to, during, and well beyond the Olympic Games? What lets them to go faster, stay balanced and hit their targets despite crowd interference and do it all without getting hurt (for the most part!)? How do top athletes manage to perform no matter what is going on around them? The same might be asked about the Cisco Network.
What other network can provide an end–to-end solution to organizations that are balancing access, performance and security challenges? The number of mobile devices is exploding – I witnessed the sheer number of people using their devices around London during the Olympic Games. And I'm not just talking about people using their phones to find their friends in Olympic Park. Everyone from local workers to law enforcement officers to cultural volunteers to throngs of tourists are relying on smart phones and tablets everywhere they go, from offices to parks to stadiums to the subway.
London is just one example of the scope of network infrastructure necessary to satisfy the ever growing number of users, devices, types of traffic and bandwidth needs infiltrating our lives. And why not take a cue from London and the preparations made for hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics? It's time to make sure your network is on track to handle new devices, security risks, and overall user demands.
First – make sure people have the right access. We all heard it on the news, initially people struggled to get tickets despite empty seats at events in Olympic Stadium. Within days, the Olympics Committee worked out a system for getting tickets in people's hands. Let me assure you, there was not an empty seat in the house at the events I attended. You can do the same thing – make sure your employees can access your network without hassles and save your IT group the trouble of provisioning access for each individual user. Using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), you can make accessing the network as simple as pushing a button to scan and accept a ticket.
Furthermore, there is no reason you can't achieve the level of security you need. London managed to maintain increased monitoring by police and other personnel without changing the atmosphere of the city and the games. It was as if security was so well integrated into the city that it never became a burden on people trying to get around town or enjoy events or cultural activities. Similarly, Cisco's new 3600 Security Module will allow for ongoing monitoring without sacrificing any network speed or performance. Using Cisco Prime for a holistic view of the network, IT managers can troubleshoot and identify solutions to network problems from a centralized tool, decreasing reaction time and manpower needed to keep everything running smoothly.
Speaking of performance, that's the reason we're all watching the Olympics. If it weren't for the consistently incredible performances of every athlete, the Olympics would not maintain its ongoing thrill, nor its audience. Keeping people on your network requires the same dedication to performance, accuracy, speed and connectivity. By taking advantage of Cisco Wireless Networking technologies including CleanAir and ClientLink 2.0, you can increase speed, boost device battery life and optimize capacity and performance.
Athletes dedicate their lives to achieving the results we see during the Olympic Games. When it comes to managing all of the new devices coming onto your network, Cisco has put together a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution so that you don't have to spend your life worrying about it while still accomplishing your goals of secure access, holistic management and uncompromised network performance.

Brilliant co-relating the Mega events to make understand the Cisco Modules. A creative presentation.Looking forward to more of these.

Dossier - The Justicar part 1
Walkthrough - Dossier - The Justicar part 1
Undertaking this mission should be simple enough for you, especially if you're following our guide. If you are, then you would have already gone to Illium during the quest known as Miranda: The Prodigal. If you need a refresher, getting to Illium is simple enough. Seek out the nearest Mass Relay and go to the Crescent Nebula. After the jump, you should find yourself in the Tasale system. All that's left to do is locate the habitable world of Illium, and land at its grand spaceport. So far, so good.
Now, assumptions are powerful things. We say that only because we're assuming you're following this walkthrough, and don't want to be redundant. So, if this is your first visit to Illium, you actually have quite a bit of exploring to do. Getting that exploring done can be accomplished on your own, or you can consult the beginning sections of the Miranda: The Prodigal walkthrough for information on everything that can be found in Illium. During that section of the walkthrough, we already spoke to who you need to speak with here to get things going. Her name is Officer Dara, and she can be found at the Tracking Station at the far southwestern part of the map. Since you already should have spoken to her at length, all you have to do is speak with her briefly from here. She'll offer you a cab to get to your mark's location, and you should agree to take it.
As soon as you begin your arrival in this new section of Illium, you'll bear witness to a rather bizarre scene. A testy Volus merchant named Pitne For is attempting to leave Illium. He wants to go to Omega to sell the goods he acquired here, but a crime has been committed, and he's forbidden to leave. An Asari named Detective Anaya informs the Volus that he's a prime suspect for the death of his business partner, and although Pitne For claims he's innocent, he's still not allowed to leave the planet. He's afraid of the Justicar, he says, but Detective Anaya humorously puts him at ease. If he isn't guilty of anything, why worry about the Justicar?
You'll be ordered to speak with people around this area of the spaceport, but with the exception of two characters in particular, no one will have much of anything to say to you. You should start by speaking with the Volus from the previous cutscene. His name is Pitne For, and he's in a bit of trouble. As we mentioned earlier, the murder everyone is freaking out about around here is that of his business partner, so naturally, he's a suspect. However, he denies any wrong-doing, insisting that mercenaries did it. When you press him on why he thinks mercenaries were responsible for it, he'll tell you that his business partner met his untimely end via a shotgun blast. That shotgun blast used modified bullets that are quintessential Eclipse, a famous mercenary band. Is this Volus telling the truth? At this point, we can't tell, but it's easy enough to see that he's scared out of his mind of the Justicar.
Following your conversation with Pitne For, you can leave him and his Turian guards behind for the time being, and head across the area to the police headquarters building. Here, you can find a medical kit to pillage if you're interested, but even more importantly, you'll want to speak with Detective Anaya once you're here, the Asari police officer from the earlier cutscene. You can probe Anaya for all sorts of information, both about the crime and the Justicar. The latter will likely be a more interesting point of conversation, since Anaya is as anxious to get rid of the Justicar as you are to recruit her into your party. Anaya has been ordered by her superiors to arrest the Justicar, but she knows she'll be killed if she does so. Thus, she'll let you into the crime scene with no questions asked, if there's even a remote possibility that you can convince the Justicar to come with you to defeat the Collectors. It's a win-win situation for both parties involved.

After her publicized breakup with her now-ex rock producer husband, country singer Shania Twain has found true love once again.
Twain married boyfriend Frederic Thiebaud in Puerto Rico yesterday, a representative told People magazine. "They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends."
Last month, the singer made her engagement announcement on her official Web site: "I've spent much time over the course of this past year, learning about others who have suffered loss in their lives and taken inspiration from how they've managed to overcome it. I'm learning that grief and the suffering of loss, challenges me to be more sensitive and understanding of other's and also more accepting of my own struggles."
She added: "I'm in love! Frederic Nicolas Thiebaud has been a true gift to me as a compassionate, understanding friend and over time, an amazing love has blossomed from this precious friendship."
Twain was previously married to music producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange for 14 years. Their relationship ended amid allegations that Lange had an affair with Marie-Anne Thiebaud, who was also married to Frederic Thiebaud. The producer had denied the allegation.
After their marriages ended in 2008, the two began seeing each other and were spotted vacationing, People reported back in August 2009.

freedom to love
We have been given the freedom to love.
On September 29, 2012, I gave a moving presentation on freedom in relation to suffering, love, and the writings of Adrienne von Speyr on Mary.
The word that begins the presentation is from a volunteer at Heart's Home, Marian W., "I wanted the freedom to love."
Freedom as a gift from God is the critcal word of the presentation, but then I use it in relation to Adrienne von Speyr's understanding of Mary as the perfectly free woman to help us understand that freedom enables love.
Here's the presentation. I hope it helps you to love freely.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Construction to begin this month
Mayor Coleen J. Seng and the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation announced today that the $1.7 million fund-raising goal of the Sunken Gardens Renovation Project has been reached. Construction on the Gardens at 27th and Capitol Parkway is expected to begin in the next few weeks.
"When we launched this campaign a year ago, we were confident the citizens of Lincoln would respond generously, and they again showed their pride in our parks system," said Mayor Seng. "I want to thank everyone who donated to this important project and the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation for taking the lead and partnering with the City to make this a reality. This is another example of what private and public partnerships can accomplish in Lincoln."
About $50,000 for the project came from the Lincoln Cares voluntary donation program, which gives Lincoln Electric System customers the opportunity to donate one a dollar a month for Parks and Recreation Department improvements.
The Sunken Gardens were built as a Depression-era public works project during the winter of 1930 on an abandoned neighborhood dump site. The project to repair and update the aging infrastructure is the first major renovation of the Sunken Gardens. It includes a new handicapped-accessible entrance, an entry pavilion, a restored cascading water feature, new sculptural elements, restrooms, maintenance storage, renovated lily pools, an automated irrigation system and lighting.
Roger and JeNeane Dodson and Mike Seacrest of Lincoln chaired the campaign for the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation. The Clark Enersen Partners designed the project after soliciting suggestions from the community and City officials. Sampson Construction of Lincoln will manage the renovation project. The Gardens will be closed to the public during the construction, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of November. A celebration rededicating the renovated Sunken Gardens is planned for spring 2005.
"With this renovation, we will increase the safety and accessibility of Sunken Gardens and preserve this important part of our history for future generations to enjoy," said City Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson. "While the Gardens are closed, the public is invited to enjoy the additional display flower beds planted at the Rotary Garden just east of the Sunken Gardens across 27th Street."
The Gardens are the only Nebraska site listed in the "300 Best Gardens to Visit in the U.S. and Canada" in the National Geographic Guide to America's Public Gardens.
Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation President Clancy Woolman said two programs, "Paving the Path" and "One Flower Forever," will continue to allow donors to honor friends and loved ones at the Sunken Gardens. All funds from these programs will be placed in a Sunken Gardens endowment account, which will eventually support ongoing operations and maintenance of the Gardens. Since they were launched last October, the programs have collected about $110,000. More information on these programs and the renovation project can be found at www.lincolnsunkengardens.com.

Nicholas103 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
Poppist is a social marketplace for deals. Think of us almost like a Yelp for deals.
Brief overview
Poppist is a social marketplace for deals. Think of us almost like a Yelp for deals. You can check out mocked-up website on http://www.poppist.com to get a better idea on how better to design the logo.
We feature many local businesses on our website and each business have their own business profile page. Businesses are grouped around categories such as "Food & Drink", "Active Life", "Beauty & Spa" etc. Each business can choose to run a deal whenever they want.
There are some differences between Poppist and other daily deal sites. Rather than just one deal a day, we can running any number of deals a day. Instead of focusing on the daily deal aspect, we focus on building the brand of the local business by encouraging users to leave comments on the business profile page, by sharing through social media and liking the deal. We don't highlight the number of people who have bought the deals and time left to purchase.. We also don't charge consumers upfront. They download a coupon and pay only when they redeem at the merchant.
Lastly, the name Poppist was chosen because we wanted something that that connotes fresh, new, and exciting. the "Pop" in the name is that of"popular" and "pop culture". and the "ist" in the name represents someone who makes, do or practises as in "cyclist" or "novelist". We like our users to think of Poppist as someone who is expert in bringing the best of local shopping to them and all the businesses and deals featured reflect these attributes.
Brand name
Target audience
Most of our audience are women and Internet savvy. However, rather than deal-hunters, we look to target users who want to use one single website to see what is cool, fun and happening in their city.
They might like a deal but they have no interest in going to twenty different websites to maximise their savings. Instead, they like to go to one single website which they know will have a suitable curated range of local businesses and services catering to their needs and perhaps an offer or two.
We are looking for a logo that will be used on the web, email, our letterhead, business cards etc. The logo should portray freshness, newness, vibrancy, popularity and excitement.
- The name has to be part of the logo.
- Colors-wise, we prefer something vibrant but do not have any actual criteria or restriction.
- Logo image should be usable on white background
- No images or stock photos.
- Font selection is up to the designer.
File formats required:
- vector file format - ai, cdr, emf, svg, or similar
- web file format - jpg/gif, layered psd

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, we're showing you what to do with whey.
If you have ever experimented with cheese-making at home, you might have found yourself with a small wealth of whey and not a single use for it. There's no need to dump this mystifying by-product of cheese. In fact, we can think of quite a few marvelous ways to get the most out of it. Here, we share some of our favorites. What exactly is whey?
When cheese is made, enzymes are added to milk, causing the milk to separate into solids and liquid. The solids, or curds, are strained and turned into cheese. The remaining liquid is a watery, high-protein substance called whey. Whey has a mild sweetness and faint acidity that complements a wide range of flavors, both sweet and savory.
What can you do with whey?
• Make ricotta. While our go-to recipe for ricotta uses milk and buttermilk, many ricotta recipes call for whey. Try this recipe from our friends at Serious Eats.
• Bake something delicious. The Prairie Homestead suggests substituting whey for milk or water in breads, cakes, and biscuits. According to a Chowhound user, the active cultures in the whey add depth to the flavor of breads, and the acids contribute to a softer crumb. One of our Twitter followers, Courtney Carlson, says that using whey in bread allows for a higher ratio of wheat-to-white flour without sacrificing moistness. Try using whey in place of the milk in our Heavenly Oatmeal Molasses Rolls.
• Cook up some polenta or rice. FOOD52 member AntoniaJames suggests using leftover whey to make polenta for a lighter, more tender texture. You can season your whey and use it as a liquid for cooking polenta or rice, with creamy, comforting results. AntoniaJames even cooks potatoes in whey to give the potatoes a light dairy flavor. This also allows her to recycle the whey further, using the potato-enriched whey for baking sandwich bread. Try our Blueberry Almond Breakfast Polenta, using whey instead of milk.
• Try out some Iranian recipes. FOOD52 editor Nozlee Samadzadeh recently taught us about an Iranian type of fermented whey called kashk, which comes both in dry and liquid forms. It can be found in many Middle Eastern stores and has a tangy taste and thick texture like a cross between yogurt and sour cream. It's used in lots of Iranian dips and soups, including this recipe for Roasted Eggplant Dip by onetribegourmet.
• Give lacto-fermentation a whirl. FOOD52's Christina DiLaura likes to use whey to jump-start the fermentation process in foods like kimchi and chutney. After a class on lacto-fermentation with Brooklyn ethnobotonist Leda Meredith, Christina sang praises about the process, and shared several recipes on her blog.
• Freeze it for later. If you have a surplus of whey, freeze it in ice cube trays and then transfer the cubes to zip-loc bags for future use.
We also wonder -- what whey tricks are we missing out on? What do you do with your whey?

Subscribe To Noah Screening Rain-Checked When Theater Floods Updates
I've already subscribed
A couple of weekends ago, Darren Aronofsky's unique biblical epic Noah took theaters by storm in the U.S., brewing up an impressive $43 million to top the box office. Then, this past weekend Noah was unleashed on the United Kingdom, where one theater unexpectedly offered a splash zone of its own.
Express & Echo shares the story of a movie theater that was forced to offer rain-checks to audiences trying to see Noah on account of flooding. Thankfully, this wasn't a flood on the level of the one that urges the film's titular character to construct a massive ark. It wasn't even the kind that your local meteorologist would warn you about. Instead, this flood was the result of a faulty ice machine that wreaked havoc on the theater overnight.
Workers at the Vue theater in Exter, England, discovered the damage upon reporting in at 7 A.M. to prep for the day's first showings. Among these was a 12:15 P.M. screening of Noah, which was cancelled along with all other showtimes before 2 P.M.
I'm just going to put this here…
A spokesperson for Vue cinema released the following statement:
"We can confirm that there was flooding at Vue Exeter on Friday 4th April due to a fault with an ice machine. We are open for business as usual and are working with engineers to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible."
No mention was made as to whether or not the theater's property insurance holder will consider this an Act of God.
Box office totals for Noah's UK debut haven't yet been released, but overall the daring drama with a $125 million budget has already made $106 mil total in foreign territories like Australia, Mexico, South Korea, and Russia. Domestically, Noah has climbed to $73 million while winning plenty of praise from critics. Our own Sean O'Connell celebrated the film's unexpected interpretations of the well-known bible story, writing in his review, "Overall, Noah is exactly the type of large-scale, ambitious, challenging, flawed, provocative and button-pushing type of cinematic experience we should hope to get when a strong-willed auteur like Aronofsky is given an exceedingly large budget."
After debuting strong, Noah saw a 61% drop in its weekend gross in its second week. But with a $17 million take, the film was still able to grab second place behind the box office titan that is Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It will be interesting to see how Noah's journey at the box office will continue, bumping up against Marvel's latest mega-hit week after week. As we've mentioned, though, the U.S. isn't the only market that matters for Noah. Despite being banned in several countries--including Qatar, Bahrain, The United Arab Emirates and Malaysia --Noah still has new terrains to conquer. It's slated to open in 13 more territories--including Italy, France, Venezuela and Japan--in the coming weeks.

Playing Spot The Difference With WLM Service Definitions
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (11612)
A customer asked me to examine two WLM service definition snapshots taken on adjacent days - and discern any differences. This is not a challenge I've been set before - and so I expect it's pretty rare. But, thinking about it, I reckon it could be quite useful. So they sent me two service definitions, one day apart, and one from months later. When I say "a service... [More]

Every year world-class musicians, ice sculptors and other artists gather at the Ice Music Festival in Geilo, Norway. Led by Terje Isungset, Pål Medhus, and Bill Covitz, the young festival has quickly become popular. Photographer Emile Holba writes:
"This year I was assigned to join the team and document the ice's journey from it's 'birth' in the frozen lakes of central Norway through its transformation into various instruments and finally being played in live performance. This year the ice came from a lake called Vassfjorden in a remote area of Norway. One of the criteria I had for myself was to be present at the point of extraction, at the very beginning of the ice's journey. This meant arriving 7 days prior to the live performances and recording sessions.
Terje had Even and Knut (the two young ice extractors on the lake with me) scouting around various lakes that are up to 3 hours drive time away from Geilo (where the ice festival is staged) in the weeks leading up to the festival. Terje is extremely particular about the ice's acoustic performance. I would never have considered naturally formed ice as having such a range of sound. I was gobsmacked how subtle the range and 'sound' of the each block is! The location of ice extraction varies each year depending on the quality of these samples. Even offered Terje samples from Vassfjorden and Terje went completely bonkers saying the ice was the best sounding in 7 years! (I recall him telling me this on more than one occasion). Henceforth, I arrive with camera and Even and Knut to start extracting the big blocks.
Facts about the ice extraction
1) Each block you see has a minimum weight of 1322 lbs - any heavier and more complicated machinery is involved and that normally breaks the delicate structure/acoustic properties of the ice - hidden internal fractures alters the sound dramatically.2) The longer and colder the winter, the better the ice -2009/2010 was cold and long even by Norway's standards.3) Each time it snows a new layer forms overnight and after a few weeks the sheer weight starts to compress the lower layers and presto - ice music starts.4) When we were there, the lake was frozen to a thickness of over 32 inches5) Once the block is extracted, it is longitudinally cut to remove the upper layers or what is referred to as 'junk'.6) A protective layer of around 10 cm is kept for transit - Vassfjorden was 1 hour's drive from Geilo.7) It took 2 men with chainsaws, 2 4X4s and a tractor 14 hours straight to extract and load 4 blocks.
All of the ice you see in the 'blue' photo of Terje is the same as I shot at the lake, including the ice horn he is blowing into - a very primeval sound! The support columns and the body of the ice harp however are shipped in from northern Sweden as it's acoustically completely dead and therefore required for structural purposes only."It takes over 16 hours to cut and move 4 blocks of ice from lake Vassfjorden, Norway, 2010.

What is this page?
This is a collection guide. It is a description of archival material held in the Special Collections Division,
J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University. The materials described here are physically available in our
reading room. To see what's been digitized in this collection, click on the thumbnail at the top right of this page
or look for hyperlinks in the container list and/or the preliminary inventory.
The correspondence is divided into three sections. The first group consists of antebellum correspondence, the second group contains wartime correspondence, while the third group is for the post-war period.
The antebellum letters (1856-1860) mainly concern the activities of Jones at a boarding school in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. This correspondence relates the subjects taught, school expenses, and the textbooks used in the school.
The second group includes the majority of the correspondence in the collection. Jones, while serving in Company K in Colonel Peter G. Evans's Battalion, N.C. Partisan Rangers (part of the 5th Regiment N.C. Cavalry and later officially called the 63rd Regiment N.C. Troops), gives accounts of activities of both Union and Confederate armies in eastern North Carolina (1862-1863), in the vicinity of Culpeper Co., Va. (latter half of 1863), and in the campaign around Petersburg, Va. (1864).
Specific North Carolina references have to do with military activities near Plymouth, Washington, Windsor, Hamilton, Tarboro, Goldsboro, New Bern, and Kinston. Included are comments on treatment of civilians; burning of houses; and destruction of livestock, crops, and railroads. Other topics of interest include desertion in the Confederate Army (1863); the rise of anti-secessionist sentiment among some Southerners (1864); scarcity of provisions for the Confederate Army (1863); conditions in Winder Hospital and in Richmond, Virginia (Nov. 1863); activities of Monroe's Volunteers of Monroe County, Mississippi, at the battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in Tennessee (March 26, 1862); treatment of Southern civilians by the Union Army (1862); camp life at Camp Vance (October 1-15, 1862) and Camp Long (October 31-November 1862), both at Garysburg, N.C., and at Camp Singletary near Washington, N.C. (December 1862); duties of a Negro in a Confederate Army camp (October 31, 1862); Yankee raids into North Carolina; and reflection on the gubernatorial campaign between Holden and Vance (July 13, 1864). One letter (May 8, 1863) describes Jones's capture by the Yankees near Shepherdsville in Carteret Co., N.C., and on May 24, 1863, he writes home telling of his time as a prisoner-of-war and his impending exchange at City Point, Va.
Post-war correspondence mainly consists of letters written while Jones was studying medicine at the University of Virginia (1866) and in New York (1867). Items of Interest include life at the University of Virginia, tuition rates and subjects taught. Other letters and a daybook relate Jones's travels after he finished his studies. The 1870-1871 daybook reflects his trip through Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and his practice of medicine upon his return. Also, there is a letter (1898) referring to a speech made by Robert Glenn and to the campaign of 1898 in North Carolina.
Miscellaneous items include typed reminiscences of Jones's Civil War experiences especially relating being wounded at Chamberlain's Run near Petersburg, Va., and making his way to Danville, Va., to a hospital (April 1865); an 1864 Civil War diary (probably kept by Jones) telling of camp life, Union encounter in Virginia, and activities in the war; a loyalty oath signed by Abraham G. Jones on September 22, 1865; a contract by which Jones's grandfather Abraham Conrad of Forsyth Co., N.C., sold twenty-nine slaves to his daughter Julia Jones and her husband Beverly (1864); and the notes taken by Abraham G. Jones in medical school at the University of Virginia.
The collection contains the correspondence of Abraham Jones, a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. Jones, of Moravian descent, was a native of Bethania in Forsyth County, N.C.
August 17, 1970, 118 items; Consisting of correspondence (1856-1898), diaries, and miscellaneous. Loaned for copying by Mrs. C. J. Lambe and Miss Nan F. Jones, Walnut Cove, N.C.

Growing and shrinking, 12mm
I first decided to stretch my ear in March 2008. It was the craze at school, with everybody shoving tapers haphazardly into their ear lobes, squealing with pain, and waiting meagre days before continuing the ugly process. I had always admired stretched lobes and had wished to do it myself for some time, without understanding or researching the processes involved. While cynically watching my schoolmates' attempts, I decided that I wanted to do it too, and properly. So I BME-ed it and googled for an entire evening, deciding how to go about the process.
On the not-long-awaited Saturday afternoon, I headed with a friend to town and purchased myself a bottle of vitamin E oil, some sea salt, and a 2mm taper. My friend bought herself a 3mm taper, decided that 2mm was a pointless stepped that could be skipped for financial reasons (big mistake on her part...). We sat on a bench and I carefully oiled my ear (which had been pierced for about 3 years at this time) and began to insert the 2mm taper. It was uncomfortable but not very painful. I pushed slowly and carefully, while my friend pushed the 3mm taper in her own ear with all her might, complaining about the pain. Mine didn't hurt that much at all and I felt very proud when I got it completely in. I went home, and later that night was texted by my friend to tell me that she had removed hers after the pain was too much. Meh, I told her so. And she gave me her 3mm taper, so WIN.
All over the internet there are lists of appropriate waiting times between stretched, but the overruling advice for me was "listen to your body". After only 1 and a half weeks, there was no pain, redness, swelling, discomfort, or anything. I decided to take the plunge to 3mm, which was a painless stretch. One month later I went to 5mm, again painless. I continued to stretch in increments:
April: 5mm
May: 6mm
June: 8mm
August: 10mm
September 12mm
At 12mm it swelled up like a monster for about 24 hours, bright red. I was terrified but kept it soaking in salt water and it went down with no further problems. Phew!
At 8mm I bought myself a cute little wooden plug with O-rings. At 10mm, I bought a bone plug with tapered edges. At 12mm I bought a flesh tunnel with O-rings and a solid black plug. I wore these day in, day out. I moved to Wales in September to start at a new school where my tunnel was held with a combination of terror and admiration from many people who had seen nothing of the sort before. I loved it and cleaned it daily to remove any gunk. But I had no problems with it pussing or smelling or anything like that. No blow-outs. I was dead happy with it, after reading all the horror stories. But I just listened to my body and carefully looked after it with vitamin E oil and sea salt soaks a couple of times a week.
But it wasn't all smooth going. After a crazy night out in Bruges in March 2009 (one year since I'd originally started stretching) I arrived back in the early hours, minus the plug that I'd been wearing. We were touring Europe for another 2 weeks and I hadn't bought another plug. In small-town Belgium and Germany, I found no time or outlet to buy another. I watched the hole shrinking by the day, luckily no cat-butt effect, but still it was gutting to see the stretch I had so carefully nurtured slowly decrease in size with nothing I could do about it. Sad times indeed.
Got back to Wales to find that none of my previous plugs fitted any more, and I had no tapers to bring it back up to size. So I sadly put a 14g BCR in and began to accept the loss of my lovely stretch. The large hole wasn't particularly noticeable but I still thought of it often.
While taking my boyfriend to lose his piercing virginity with a basic lobe piercing in October 2009, six months since I'd lost my plug, I asked the piercer (Mike from Broad Street Studios, Bath) on a whim to take a look at my stretched hole to take a guess to the approximate size of the shrunken stretch. He reckoned it looked about a 6mm. There was hope!
A couple of weeks later in Cardiff I went to Rebel Rebel and purchased a spiral of max gauge 7mm (I'd always wanted a spiral and had never got around to getting one). I'd expected it to be a bit of a tight fit but it fit perfectly and I am very happy with it indeed. The 12mm stretch was lovely but it was extremely noticeable and definitely made me stick out. Whereas this cute 7mm spiral is quite subtle, I think it suits me very well, and it is suitable for interviews and work and the like. Overall my stretching experience was a very good one, and although losing the 12mm plug was disappointing at the time, I can see now that it was probably for the best and I definitely love my current spiral very much.
Remember, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY and CARRY A SPARE PLUG WITH YOU.

ZincDecember 2006
The onset of cold and flu season serves as a reminder of the critical importance of maintaining adequate stores of the mineral zinc.
While best known for its role in fighting colds and flus, zinc has far-ranging effects on human health, from strengthening the body's immune defenses to promoting optimal growth and development.1 The tenth most common element in the human body, zinc is vital to the functioning of more than 300 hormones and enzymes.2 One of the most important of these is copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant enzyme associated with longevity and protection against oxidative stress.3-5
Zinc deficiency is associated with numerous disease states and even with DNA damage, which may contribute to cancer.6 With a preponderance of scientific evidence suggesting that zinc deficiency is common in the United States and throughout the world, it is all the more important that health-conscious adults take steps to ensure optimal zinc status.
Boosting the Body's Antioxidant Defenses
Zinc is an essential component of one of the body's most important natural antioxidants, the enzyme known as copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD).3,4 Cu/Zn SOD is one of a family of antioxidant enzymes that disarm dangerous superoxide radicals, which can wreak havoc on cellular compounds such as lipids, proteins, and DNA.5,7 Cu/Zn SOD rapidly breaks these compounds down into hydrogen peroxide, which is quickly converted to harmless water and ordinary oxygen.8
Research suggests that maintaining adequate levels of zinc and SOD is especially important to increasing longevity. Cumulative oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species is correlated with aging. In the laboratory, organisms that were manipulated to produce higher levels of SOD demonstrated extended life spans.5 Conversely, mutations in the gene that encodes Cu/Zn SOD have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder.7 Oxidative damage to the enzyme itself has recently been implicated in a variety of pathologies, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.9
Oral supplementation with a bioavailable SOD preparation provides a way to greatly augment the protective benefits conferred by the body's own supply of superoxide dismutase.10
A Cornerstone of Healthy Immune Function
In addition to bolstering the body's antioxidant defenses, zinc plays a crucial role in supporting proper immune system function.11-15 T-lymphocytes are white blood cells that help fight infection and depend on zinc for their development and activation. In humans, zinc deficiency can result in a decreased number of T-lymphocytes and a diminished ability to fight infection and heal wounds.16-18 Because supplemental zinc may help fight infection and heal wounds,17 zinc status is especially important for patients with conditions such as HIV infection.18
Maintaining adequate levels of zinc is equally important to aging adults. As people grow older, their immune function declines, partly due to the decreasing size and function of the thymus gland. New evidence suggests that zinc may help to maintain healthy function of the thymus gland in elderly people.19 Scientists have also found evidence that a zinc deficiency in elderly adults may contribute to impaired immune function with aging, or immunosenescence.20 These findings suggest that zinc plays a critical role in supporting healthy immune function with age.
Zinc Fights Symptoms of the Common Cold
One of zinc's most important uses in recent years is reducing the severity and duration of colds. The common cold is caused by any one of more than 200 distinct viruses that target the respiratory tract.23 Zinc interferes with the viruses' ability to attach to the surface of respiratory tract cells and reproduce, which may help prevent infections from taking hold and causing symptoms.24
Numerous clinical trials, involving hundreds of child and adult patients, support the effectiveness of zinc lozenges in mitigating cold symptoms.23-29 One study concluded that lozenge use within 24 hours of the first onset of cold symptoms reduces the severity of symptoms, the duration of the illness, subsequent use of antibiotics to treat secondary symptoms, and overall incidence of colds per year.29
Colds can also lead to even more serious secondary conditions, such as sinusitis in adults and middle ear infections in children. Indeed, acute upper-respiratory infection is the single most common reason people seek medical treatment in the United States.25 Vanderbilt University scientists discovered that zinc inhibits the activity of a common respiratory virus that routinely threatens children's health. The doctors added zinc salts, such as zinc sulfate and zinc lactate, to cell cultures infected with a common pediatric respiratory disease known as respiratory syncytial virus. Zinc salts prevented the harmful virus from replicating freely.30
To be most effective, zinc lozenges should be taken within 24 hours of the appearance of initial cold symptoms, and should be taken continuously throughout the course of the illness. Although generally well tolerated, some patients have reported mild nausea when taking zinc lozenges, and temporary alterations in taste sensation are not uncommon. Taking zinc with food may help to alleviate these effects.
Supporting Human Growth and Maturation
Zinc is vital to human growth and maturation. Studies have shown that zinc deficiency results in cognitive deficits and growth retardation, including delays in sexual maturation, among both males and females.36-39 Scientists in California report that even moderate zinc deficiency results in disruptions in normal growth and maturation among rhesus monkeys, and behavioral changes, including lethargy, may precede physical manifestations of deficiency.40,41 The same appears to hold true for humans. Zinc deficiency is linked to deficits in healthy bone mineralization, and has been linked to short stature and developmental delays.36-39
According to researchers in California who conducted a meta-analysis of clinical trials examining the effects of zinc supplementation on children's growth, "Zinc supplementation produced highly significant, positive responses in height and weight increments."42 Researchers in Turkey recently reported that zinc supplementation stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and other proteins and polypeptides involved in bone and overall growth.43 IGF-1 responds directly to growth hormone and is responsible for regulating the growth and development of a wide range of cells, as well as DNA synthesis.
Zinc also plays a key role in spermatogenesis, the process by which the male testes produce sperm capable of fertilizing an egg, or ovum. Numerous studies comparing fertile and infertile men have demonstrated that zinc is abnormally low in the blood serum and seminal fluid of infertile men.44-47 Replenishing zinc levels may thus be helpful in optimizing male fertility.

Greenwich football wallops Central
BRIDGEPORT -- The opposing end zone has been like a second home for the Greenwich High School football team the past five weeks.
The Cardinals remained red-hot offensively Friday night, once again making frequent trips to their favorite destination -- the end zone.
Greenwich surpassed more than 40 points in its fifth consecutive game and moved two games over .500 for the first time this season, defeating Bridgeport Central, 61-24, at Kennedy Stadium.
Junior running back Austin Longi, who had a hand in five of Greenwich's six touchdowns in its 42-7 win over Fairfield Warde last week, was superb again, rushing for 89 yards and three touchdowns on just eight carries. The speedster also returned a kickoff 73 yards for a score.
Running back Tommy Rappa gained 106 yards on 14 attempts for the Cardinals, who soared to a 35-18 halftime lead.
"Our offense is playing great right now," said GHS coach Rich Albonizio, whose Cardinals improved to 5-3. "Austin -- every time he touches the ball he can get to the end zone."
Central junior quarterback Mykel Morris showed his toughness, gaining 101 yards on 14 carries, while taking a pounding from the Cardinals' defense.
"He's a warrior," Hilltoppers coach Brian Gordon said of Morris. "He brings it every play. "We gave a good effort, but there are no moral victories in football. We still have to do a better job of executing and preparing for each game both physically and mentally."
The Cardinals scored touchdowns on their first five possessions en route to opening a 17-point halftime advantage. Junior defensive back Ryan Pasquali set up the Cardinals' first score, intercepting Morris on Central's second play from scrimmage, setting GHS up at the 23-yard line. Three plays later, senior Joey Fedorko ran it in from nine yards out and senior Peter Heerdt kicked the extra point, giving Greenwich a 7-0 lead. Longi's 24-yard run on his first carry of the game gave the visitors a 14-0 edge at the 7:22 mark of the first quarter and Rappa's 2-yard run put the Hilltoppers in a 21-0 hole with 3:15 left.
"Our offense is really playing well in all aspects," Longi said. "Everything is clicking and it feels good to see that."
Central (0-8) had a couple of bright spots in the game. Morris threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to wideout Dominque Hancock and Quinten Jones threw a 60-yard scoring strike to receiver Keyshawn Thomas off a halfback option in the first half. Yet Central had trouble all night stopping the Cardinals running attack, which churned out almost 300 yards.
"They dominated us up front," Gordon said. "It all starts up front on both sides of the ball and they really wore us down."
Junior quarterback Matt Marzulla turned in another solid performance, completing 9 of 12 passes for 82 yards, while adding a 3-yard touchdown run for the Cardinals before giving way to freshman Frank Alfano in the fourth quarter.
The Cardinals offense was pretty sharp once again despite their offensive line being a bit banged up. Center Vinny Murphy missed the game with an injury, so senior Justin Gaccione moved to center, but he was also banged up.
"We had three sophomores on the line, but we did a good job up-front," Albonizio said.
Longi had a 73-yard kickoff return in the opening half and added two scoring runs in the second half for the Cards, whose defense stepped up the final two quarters.
Sophomore Jack Weigold intercepted a Morris pass and returned it 38 yards to the end zone and safety Stephen Lewis picked off two passes for the victors.
"They have a good quarterback who is really fast and can run the ball well, so we were focusing on him," GHS senior defensive end Jack Harrington said. "That opened up the pass for them a little bit. We had a couple of mental mistakes, but we settled down and played pretty well."

The Town of Superior has awarded $2,300 from its contingency grant fund to two local organizations.
The Town of Superior Board of Trustees awarded fourth quarter contingency funds to the Superior Rugby Football Club and the Eldorado K-8 Parent-Teacher Organization's Soaring Eagles Alliance.
The Board of Trustees implemented the Contingency Grant Fund in 2008 to benefit community groups that need annual funding in order to develop or conduct programs that have a substantial benefit to the Superior community. The Board has budgeted $10,000 each year to be given away to needy projects and organizations in Superior.
The Superior Rugby Football Club received $800 that will go toward supplies and equipment.
The club was founded in 2009 to encourage neighborhood kids to get outside and play.
In the spring of 2012, approximately 60 players — boy and girls ages 5-13 — were registered for the club. Club officials project it will grow to 80 kids this spring with the introduction of a U15 team.
Soaring Eagles Alliance received $1,500 for assistance with funding of the Front Range Child Assault Prevention Program (FRCAP). The program educates students on how to protect themselves from all forms of violence.
A need for this program was realized with the events surrounding the kidnapping and murder of Jessica Ridgeway, and is tentatively scheduled to begin April 25.
The deadline to apply for Superior's first quarter 2013 Contingency Grant Fund is 5 p.m. on March 29, to Superior Town Hall, attention: Shannon Dujardin, 124 E. Coal Creek Drive, Superior, 80027.
Applications are available at www.superiorcolorado.gov and at Superior Town Hall, 124 E. Coal Creek Drive.

Hanley Ramirez was ready to return to the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday just as Andre Ethier was scratched.
Ethier had tightness in his left calf, the result of being hit by a pitch nine days earlier, and the outfielder was sent to a doctor, Manager Don Mattingly said.
"It's been awhile and it's gotten worse; all of a sudden it got worse," Mattingly said. "He's been having some trouble with it."
Skip Schumaker started in place of Ethier in center field.
Ethier was hit Aug. 4 by Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' 1-0 win at Wrigley Field.
Ramirez was set to resume playing after bruising his right shoulder in the same series at Wrigley Field. The shortstop suffered the injury when he fell into the stands while catching a foul ball.
Mattingly said he expected to start Ramirez in Wednesday's game against the New York Mets.
The Dodgers are off Thursday before opening a seven-game trip Friday in Philadelphia.
Mattingly said the plan with Ramirez was to "play one day, get a day off" and then "see how it went. I feel like he's ready."
Nick Punto is in a hot stretch
Playing in place of Ramirez, utility player Nick Punto has enjoyed a sizzling August at the plate.
Punto began Tuesday's game batting .476 (10 for 21) this month with one home run, six runs batted in and five walks. He hit a two-run double in the fifth inning to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead over the Mets.
"I'm still the backup here," said Punto, who was acquired from the Boston Red Sox a year ago as part of a multi-player trade. "It's just nice to be getting these consistent [at-bats] like Donnie's been giving me."
Manny Ramirez is released by Rangers
Manny Ramirez was released from his minor league contract by the Texas Rangers, perhaps the last stop in a distinguished yet tarnished career.
Ramirez, 41, was batting .259 at triple-A Round Rock, with three home runs in 30 games.
The Rangers acquired outfielder Alex Rios from the Chicago White Sox last week, ending any faint hope for Ramirez that he might be needed to help the Texas offense after the suspension of Nelson Cruz.
Ramirez last played in the major leagues April 6, 2011, for the Tampa Bay Rays. He retired rather than serve a 100-game suspension for a second violation of baseball's drug policy.
The Dodgers acquired Ramirez in mid-2008. He hit .396 with 17 home runs in 53 games, propelling the Dodgers to their first National League Championship Series appearance in 20 years and so electrifying the stadium that a section of left field became known as "Mannywood."
The Dodgers re-signed him to a two-year, $45-million contract, but he tested positive for a banned substance and served a 50-game suspension in 2009.
"Just a great career," Mattingly said about Ramirez. "Just a talent. I loved watching him play."

Warner Brothers has picked a familiar writer to pen the screenplay for Green Lantern 2. Do we know how Michael Bay's Transformers saga will end? And a Reno 911 star tells all about their new science fiction starship comedy Alabama!
Green Lantern 2:
We reported yesterday that Warner Bros was moving ahead with the sequels, and now the second film has its writer. Michael Goldenberg will reportedly write the screenplay for the sequel, based on a treatment by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim. This is similar to the arrangement for the first film, in which Goldenberg rewrote the trio's original draft. [Variety]
Transformers 3:
A production assistant reportedly said the kiss between Shia LeBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's characters is the last scene of the film. He also reportedly said that Megatron dies again, although "this time it's final." That may just be a reference to Michael Bay's stated opposition to doing a Transformers 4, but some are taking it as further evidence that a lot of Transformers will die in this film. [Transformers Live]
A casting call for extras has gone out for the film's scheduled shoots in Washington, DC. Of slight interest is the fact that the casting call asks if potential extras have a car, and further if any have "precision driving" experience, which may mean some sort of high-speed car chase will be involved. [Transformers Live]
And finally, cherish these last few set photos while you can, because I'm pretty sure Chicago filming is over soon:
John Carter of Mars:
Disney has set the release date for June 8, 2012. [CinemaBlend]
The scifi comedy from the makers of Reno 911! is starting to snap into focus, thanks to an extensive interview with creator and star Thomas Lennon. Before we get to that, here's the original synopsis for the show:
Set a thousand years in the future, the show follows the crew of the space ship USS Alabama as they continue a seven-year mission to maintain interplanetary peace.
The show will feature a lot of Reno 911! personnel, as well as possibly a few others from The State. Lennon pitches the show as "Reno 911! meets Battlestar Galactica, and it's worth noting that the creators don't see the show as a Star Trek parody. The ship itself is a dank, grubby, sweaty place, and the costumes will also reflect that. The show may feature puppets, and cyborgs will definitely be involved.
He said he and the rest of the creative team are still trying to figure out the show, but they do know a few things. For instance, he said crew members are supposed to abstain from sex for the entire seven year voyage, and yet everyone showers together, which leads to some serious sexual tension. He also described ideas they have for episodes:
The crew of our ship is being put on trial for war crimes against this alien race and we get beamed down to their planet and then we find out that these aliens to us look like puppets, like Elmo. They're unbelievably cute, but they're charging us with war crimes and eventually we'll have to kill them all and blow them up and escape. So it's Reno 911!, with occasionally like, we pass through a nebula that causes everyone on the ship to hear each other's thoughts. Sometimes we run into ourselves as babies and then we have to keep the baby version of ourself alive, so the future version of us can be there at the time. You know, sci-fi problems. Reno 911!/sci-fi problems on a very, very sweaty, sweaty, clunky spaceship.
There's a lot more in the interview, so be sure to check it out here. [Collider]
A few more set photos have surfaced: [SpoilerTV]
Executive producers Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak confirmed that the governor, first introduced towards the end of the third season, will still be involved in the fourth season, just not right away. His arc won't have quite the same prominence as Chuck's search for his mom, but the governor is still very much a part of where the show is going. [E!Online]
True Blood:

The Cape:
Series creator Tom Wheeler dropped a bunch of hints about what lies ahead. He said the show will be a mix of "mission-of-the-week" episodes, and more serialized storytelling, with each episode being accessible for a new viewer while at the same time progressing relationships, letting events from one episode carry over to the next, and laying the groundwork for future plotlines. He also reaffirmed the show is "a no-powers, costumed crime-drama", with the characters' abilities rooted in something that's (roughly) scientifically plausible.
He also explained what the first few episodes of the season will be about:
Episode 2 sort of takes the themes of the pilot to a much deeper, richer place and delivers our newest rogue Bluebeard. Episode 3 is a creepy treasure hunt that unearths a number of Palm City secrets. We'll also get a glimpse into the origin of a major upcoming villain... The Lich. In Episode 4 we learn a lot more about Max Malini and the sometimes bloody history of the cape.
Terra Nova:
Steven Spielberg's upcoming time travel drama series, in which a family of scientists from 2149 travel 85 million years into the past to study dinosaurs up close, has picked a filming location. The entire series will shoot in Queensland, Australia, with about 80% of the cast and crew being locals. Beyond the economic incentives, Fox executive Jim Sharp explained, "Queensland had the right look, climate and terrain" for the show. [The Hollywood Reporter]
