ATI HD Registry Tweaks for HTPCs
Supports Windows XP, MCE, Vista, 7
The ATI HD Registry Tweaks script is designed to add values to the Windows registry. Changing anything in the registry can be hazardous. No warranty is offered or implied. Use at your own risk!
The script will add or remove a number of registry tweaks to enhance the performance of ATI/AMD HD2000, HD3000, HD4000, HD5000, HD6000 & HD7000 series video cards for use in HTPCs.
The simple way to use this program
Run the script (double-click). When you are prompted to approve a video device, read the "Device Description". If it looks like a description for your video card, go ahead and answer 'Yes' to agree that it is the correct device. There is no harm caused by adding the settings under multiple video devices, or even under video devices that aren't your active video card. The settings will be ignored by other devices.
To make it more complicated
Under Windows XP / MCE, if you want to add a level of verification that you have the correct video device, open the ATI Catalyst Control Center, and select the Information Center > Graphics Software section. The 2D Driver Path will show the GUID (the number between the curly brackets, "{}") for your active video device. When you run this program, you will be prompted for each video device on your system. When you see the GUID for your active video device, approve that device to add the registry settings.
Under Windows 7 / Vista, the path in the CCC will not match the one reported by this program, because this program uses a different registry key that mirrors (copies its values) to the one listed in the CCC.
You will be prompted to approve the correct video device before anything in the registry is changed. To add settings for multiple devices, simply re-run the program and select a different device. In Windows XP / MCE, the registry tweaks will be applied to all outputs, e.g., 0000 and 0001. In Windows Vista, the registry tweaks are applied uniformly to the active device, which applies to all outputs on that device.
Save the .vbs file to your computer, then double-click it to run.
Internet Explorer Right-click and select 'Save Target As...'
Firefox/Chrome/Safari Right-click and select 'Save Link As...'

If your AGP card is not supported by the latest ATI drivers...
Sometimes the drivers don't get updated for every card for every driver release, so you need to edit a couple files to add your card. Run the installer, and continue until you extract the driver into a folder under C:\ATI\SUPPORT\. At the next opportunity, cancel the installation and navigate to the C:\ATI\SUPPORT\ folder in Windows Explorer. Edit the files as follows, and you can then run C:\ATI\SUPPORT\{Current Version}\Driver\setup.exe.
The files you need to edit are:
Windows 7 / Vista
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH_INF\CX_*****.inf
Under "[ATI.Mfg]", add the following lines. You can do a search for "HD 2400" to put the lines with the other entries for the HD2000 series, if you wish.
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C6
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
The lines can be placed anywhere under the "[ATI.Mfg]" section. For example, your entry could look as follows:
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
Windows XP / MCE
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\XP_INF\CX_*****.inf
Under "[ATI.Mfg.NTx86]", add the following lines. You can do a search for "HD 2400" to put the lines with the other entries for the HD2000 series, if you wish.
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
The lines can be placed anywhere under the "[ATI.Mfg.NTx86]" section. For example, your entry could look as follows:
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630,
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\CX_*****.INI
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\INSTALL.INI
In both files, under the "[WINXP]" section, add the following at the end of the second line, which starts "R6=DriverPath_R6":
For example, your entry could look as follows:
If you receive errors stating registry access was denied while using Windows 7 / Vista...
It is likely that either your account or the program does not have administrative rights, which under Windows Vista is usually caused by User Account Control.
It is easiest to turn off User Account Control, but this would have security implications for your entire computer. Please read the following articles from Microsoft for advice on User Account Control:
How to use User
Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista
User Account Control on or off
If you see red-shift or flashes of color on red objects...
For NTSC material, it seems to be related to framerate detection of NTSC video material (29.97fps, interlaced). In the ATI CCC, try disabling pulldown detection .

An ideology is taking over the West that is both very spiritual and self-consciously anti-Christian. It intends, ever so subtly, without ever saying so explicitly, to grind the gospel into the dustbin of history. The 1960s was an incredibly formative decade. In 1962, Mircea Eliade, the world expert on comparative religions, observed: "Western thought [he meant Christendom] can no longer maintain itself in this splendid isolation from a confrontation with the 'unknown,' the 'outsiders.'" As if on cue, the "Fab Four" met the Maharishi and introduced the "wisdom of the East" to popular Western culture. Keep Reading

Three years earlier
Calvin Harper exchanged the highway for a two-lane county road that stumbled down into a valley between two Appalachian peaks, or what would have been peaks millions of years ago, but which were now more like exaggerated humps in the terrain. They were not imposing like the Rockies. They didn't pierce the sky like mountains do in pictures from scenic calendars. Rather, they lay comfortably on the earth, like the lumps a sound sleeper makes under the covers. Evergreens and deciduous trees carpeted both squat mountains, and a hundred shades of high summer green painted on them a kind of contented, venerable majesty that the adolescent Rockies will not match until wind and time have scrubbed away their rough edges.
Calvin followed the winding road down into the valley, which fell north to south between the two slopes. Calvin could see dozens of houses peeking out from the dense cover of trees on the opposite slope. As he descended, the density of houses on his side of the valley grew thicker until there were enough of them for a generous person to collect them with the word "neighborhood."
A weathered sign, which had skipped its last three or four repainting appointments, greeted Calvin at the spot in the county road where the slope gave way to level ground. He stopped for a traffic light, the first he had encountered since leaving the interstate, and read the sign. "Victory—Established 1781—B&O Railroad 1842—State Football Champions 1981, 1982, 1994." Beneath the sign hung half a dozen plaques announcing the local societies: Rotarians, Elks, the VFW, and some he couldn't read.
Calvin's eyes passed over the rest of the plaques and fell on a rusted metal sign hanging at the bottom. A shield dominated the sign: red cross on a white field, a patch of blue in the northwest corner. The once bold colors were now pastel, and the once bold writing was now faded nearly to illegibility. But Calvin knew what the sign said without reading it: "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You."
He smiled at the familiar words, knowing people all over the country were driving into towns and seeing similar signs. But the smile drooped as he strained to read the particulars below the message: "St. John's—across the railroad tracks—two blocks—on right." Calvin put the car in gear as the light turned green and ventured into Victory, wondering how true the cheerful message of welcome was in a small town nestled between two demoted mountains.
The car bumped over the railroad tracks, and Calvin looked down the row of old buildings for a first glimpse of St. John's. He could tell the downtown area of Victory, which straddled the tracks, had thrived in years past. There were too many buildings down the main drag and clustered near it along the side streets for Victory always to have been a small, tired town.
But now many storefronts were shuttered and dark. Calvin couldn't tell if they were out of business or simply closed, though it seemed strange local businesses would be closed in the middle of a weekday. Some locations were obviously vacant: windows hid behind hastily hammered plywood, upon which was spray-painted, "4 Sale," and a phone number to contact someone named Wally.
Three buildings on the block past the railroad tracks had names carved into the stone of their lintels: Town Hall, Firehouse #2, Williams Inn. But the building displaying the words "Town Hall" also sported a banner announcing it as the location for the summer semester of a local community college. Firehouse #2 was a Chinese restaurant named Year of the Dragon. Williams Inn had a collection of mailboxes tacked to its grimy brick wall and a small forest of satellite TV antennae sprouting from its patch of front lawn, and Calvin realized it was no longer a hotel, but what must be tiny apartments.
By no means a ghost town, Victory bore all the hallmarks of being left to its own devices when the town's main industry fled. Calvin didn't know what that industry was exactly, but it was the same story all over the state—plants closing, mines cutting back, aging workforce, young people choosing to live anywhere but there. What saved Victory from falling off the map entirely, Calvin's bishop had told him, was the elderly population. Fifteen years ago, there had been a single nursing home in the town. Now there were five, plus another half dozen assisted- and independent-living facilities for seniors.
"And what comes along with elderly people?" the bishop had asked. Before Calvin could respond, the bishop answered his own question. "Doctors. Nurses. Orderlies. Lab techs. Paramedics. Janitors. Estate lawyers. People at the Y who teach water aerobics." He ticked off each one on a finger. "And those folks have families." The bishop picked up a magazine from his desk and tossed it to Calvin. "In that issue, the AARP rates Victory as one of the top ten retirement communities in the country. And you're their new priest."
* * *
Calvin parked his car on the street half a block past St. John's. He was surprised and pleased to see the church stood out from the rest of the buildings on Washington Street. The steeple was easily the highest point this side of the railroad tracks, and the bricks of the church's exterior seemed shinier than those of the surrounding buildings. The mortar in between bricks crumbled only here and there, and the bell, visible in the tower above, gleamed in the midafternoon sun. On first glance, the only things Calvin disliked about the exterior of St. John's were the windows. A layer of Plexiglas protected each window, but the outside panels were so caked with the filth of years that Calvin had only a vague impression the church owned stained glass at all.
He walked up the three steps to the front door and pulled. It was a massive, iron-studded oak thing that would look more at home on a castle keep. And it was locked. Calvin looked at his watch. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon. He looked left and right, hoping to see a sign with hours or directions to the church's office. With no sign in sight, he circled the building and found the door to the office three-quarters of the way around, also up three steps. This door was locked too. He peered in the small window set in the door only to see a dark hallway and several more closed doors.
Calvin continued his circuit of the grounds, and as he was about to turn back onto the sidewalk, he spied a small door set into the side of the church. He walked up to it and was surprised to find the door was much smaller than any door had a right to be. He couldn't possibly understand what this door was designed to accomplish, but he tried it anyway. Locked, of course. Or was it? He tugged again and realized the door was locked only by a crossbar, like the kind you'd find on the door to the castle keep he had imagined earlier. He stood at the door for a few moments, thinking.
Now, in the ensuing minutes, Calvin made three mistakes. First, he decided it was a perfectly good and normal idea to force open the small door. He cast around for something thin enough to slip through the gap between the door and frame and strong enough to lift the bar without breaking. There was nothing in the churchyard but sticks and twigs. Then he snapped his fingers and ran back to the car. As a going away present, his parents had given him a set of pots and pans along with various other cooking implements. Calvin had stored them in the passenger seat because he had already packed the rest of the car. He rummaged for a moment and then pulled out a brand new chef's knife. He jogged back to the small door and began maneuvering his makeshift lever into place. This, of course, was his second mistake.
"What in the world are you doing, boy?"
Calvin froze at the sound of a clipped voice behind him. As the question hung in the air, he took a single moment to wonder the same thing. What was he doing?
"Turn around slowly with your hands where I can see them."
Calvin turned around slowly with his hands where the police officer could see them. He looked up and was mildly surprised to see the knife clutched in his right hand. So too, it seemed, was the police officer, who took a step back and put his hand on his holster.
"Drop the weapon."
Calvin dropped the weapon. It spun gracefully out of his hand and buried itself in the soft earth of an unkempt flowerbed bordering the church's wall.
"You must be some kind of stupid, boy, breaking into a church in broad daylight."
And this is when Calvin made his third mistake. He laughed. It began as a grin and then a chuckle escaped between his teeth and, before he could catch it and pull it back in, another followed and soon the absurdity of the situation was spilling from his lips in waves of unbridled hilarity.
By the fact that Calvin ended up in the back of the police cruiser, he could tell the officer did not agree with his assessment of the situation.
"So you weren't breaking in, you say?" asked the officer after Calvin had calmed down.
"No, sir," said Calvin. "I mean, I was breaking in, but it's not a crime."
"Oh, it's not a crime. Perhaps I missed the day they taught 'Breaking and Entering' at Police Academy, then?"
This time a chuckle escaped between the officer's teeth, but it held no mirth.
"I apologize. I'm not explaining this right, sir."
"Then. Try. Again."
"This is my church. I'm the priest. Well, I will be. Today's my first day. I don't have a key yet, and there's no one here, even though the administrator is supposed to be in the office. I just wanted a look inside, and I guess I wasn't thinking straight. I've been driving all day."
It all came out in one breath. Deflated, Calvin slumped forward and placed his forehead on the grill between the front and back seats of the police car.
"Aren't you a little too young and a little too stupid to be a priest?" asked the officer.
"Well, sir, I'm not too young."
The officer chuckled again, and this time a hint of amusement crept in. Then he laughed a single time. It came out like a bark, and as he laughed, he toggled his radio. "Dispatch. This is 127. Got a kid here. Caught B&E in progress at St. Jack's side door. Says he's the new priest."
"Copy 127," hissed the radio. "Hold on a sec, Carter."
Officer Carter eyed Calvin, who gave him a weak, defeated smile. Carter answered the smile with a look that said, "Wait till I tell my wife about this one." A long moment passed. Then another voice spoke from the tinny radio.
"Yeah, 127, this is the Chief. What's his name?"
Carter shot Calvin an inquisitive look.
"The Reverend Calvin Harper," said Calvin.
Carter thumbed his radio again. "Says his name is Calvin Harper."
The Chief's own laughter crackled over the radio. "He is the new priest at St. Jack's, Carter. Cut him loose."
Carter put down the radio and stared at Calvin. Calvin's smile widened, until the look of defeat turned into one of triumph.
"Oh, and Carter," said the Chief. "Help him get that door open."
* * *
The sound of Officer Carter's police cruiser roaring down the street faded as Calvin closed the small door behind him. He found himself on a square landing about a third of the way up a staircase, which made its curling ascent to the choir loft. The shadowy narthex below him looked uninviting, so Calvin took the stairs in the direction of a soft, purple light emanating from what he guessed was the circular stained glass window set high in the west wall of the church. As he took the first step up, his head brushed the ceiling, and he noticed just how narrow the staircase was. At a hair less than six feet tall, Calvin wasn't used to stooping to go up stairs, but these stairs in particular seemed peculiarly shrunken.
His steps echoed in the empty church until he reached the loft. An old oriental rug muffled his footfalls as he navigated a jumble of folding chairs that might have once been arranged in a semicircle around the organ's console. The purple light was, indeed, coming from the rose window, which adorned the wall behind the loft. Seen from the street, this window was a dirty hole in an otherwise clean brick exterior. Seen from within, the window sparkled with story. The dove of the Holy Spirit stretched its wings from the central pane of the window. The spokes springing from this central pane displayed vines that twisted their way outward and bore fruit in a dozen different colors, all of which stood out gleefully against the soft, purple background. The vine of each spoke ended in a word: faith, meekness, temperance, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness.
Calvin smiled at seeing the King James language and wondered how many people over the four hundred years since the translation's birth had been told their gift of the Spirit was "longsuffering." The modern translation, "patience," just doesn't have the same ring to it, he thought.
He continued surveying the window until his eyes landed once again on the word that had first caught them: faith. What was it that Hebrews said about faith? Things hoped for. Something about "unseen." Calvin scanned the patchy Bible in his mind and was surprised when he remembered the verse for which he was searching. "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
He slumped down onto one of the folding chairs near the organ's console. Assurance. Conviction. If there were two things Calvin had less of concerning his coming to Victory, he couldn't think of them. He looked out from the loft to the darkened church below. The soft light from the rose window fell on his back, but it did not extend past the edge of the loft. He could see the edges of the pews outlined in the faint light of the other windows. He could make out the shapes of the lectern and pulpit and rail and altar. But everything was dim, leeched of color, as if Calvin were just waking up in the hour before dawn and couldn't quite understand all the shapes of the perfectly ordinary things in his bedroom.
The bishop had sent him to Victory as Priest-in-Charge. Calvin could have refused to take the assignment, but that was never really an option—not for a priest fresh from seminary, which was partially paid for by diocesan funds. The assignment. He turned the word over his tongue. When priests go to new churches, they are supposed to be called there, called by God and by the people of the church. Not assigned. Not tossed in the ring because no one more qualified would take the position.
Calvin crossed his arms over his chest and allowed a wave of self-pity to wash over him. He was a stranger in a strange land. He was alone. No one had even come to the church to welcome him. He nursed the pity until it mutated into full-fledged self-satisfaction. He had taken one for the team. No one else wanted the job, but he had done his duty. He was Jonah if Jonah had gone straight to Nineveh like a good little prophet. A smug grin began at one ear and played across his face, but it turned sour before it reached the other side. The Ninevites listened to Jonah, but he still ended up alone on the hillside.
The pity returned and mingled with the satisfaction, and Calvin sank into the depths of self-righteous lamentation. He didn't deserve this. He had always done everything everyone had asked of him, and he still got banished to the radar station in Alaska? How was that fair? He should be on the staff at some big, suburban church, not the hospice chaplain at this backwoods church on life support. Calvin stopped for a moment and looked for more reasons to lament his situation. He remembered the small door and the shrunken staircase. And to top it off, I don't even fit inside the building.
And then he remembered more of his conversation with the bishop. "It's one of the oldest churches in the diocese, son—both the people and the building. Built way before the railroad went through. You know, there wasn't even a West Virginia yet." And all at once Calvin realized why the door was so small and why the staircase was so shrunken. The side door was once the slaves' entrance. The choir loft was once the slaves' balcony. There must have been enough fertile ground in between the low mountains for some sort of farming operation. Tobacco, perhaps? Calvin didn't know the history of the area, but he knew he was right about where he was sitting. When he looked around the loft and imagined dozens of enslaved people huddled close together listening to a white preacher using the Bible to justify the slaves' dehumanizing servitude, the pity and satisfaction and self-righteous lamentation fled from him.
He sat there, hollowed and ashamed. "What am I doing here?" he said aloud to no one in particular, except perhaps to God, though if he was praying, he didn't realize it at the time.

Frank Mazzola takes a look at the NHL's Eastern Conference and keeps you up to date on the latest developments.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Let's Get Real Edition
The Leafs as we sit at our box and key stroke machine, are 4-3-3 after 10 regular season games. A record most so called experts, including the shameful Howard Berger, did not see coming after 10 games. I have been on various sites the past couple months and anytime I was sucked into talking about what I thought of this season's edition of the Leafs I came to one conclusion: Better collectively than last season's edition of the squad with or without Sundin. Not to toot my own horn, but so far my suspicion has been correct.
Leafs Trades for the Deadline… Preview
The Leafs are definately going to blow up their team this year, but who are the potential players that could be traded for something valuable to the rebuild??
Alfredsson close to 4 year contract
According to TSN, with only one year left on a opotion deal, Alfredsson is close to signing a 4 year deal worth 22 million. It is said Alfredsson will be paid heavily in the first 2 years and then very light in the last two to balance out the salary hit. It is expected for the hit to be 9mil, 5mil, 5 mil, 3 mil.
Likely Offer Sheets in 2009
Every year since the lockout when Philly GM Bobby Clarke sent an offer sheet to Vancouver's Ryan Kessler there has been speculation on who is going to be signed to an offer sheet, which team is going to be forced to overpay for a restricted free agent.
When Is Too Soon?
Plenty of talk early this season has been about the 4 young defencemen drafted this year and being in the NHL already.
Drew Doherty, Zach Bogosian, Alex Pietrangelo and Luke Schenn all made their NHL teams and some are poised to stay for good.
Maybe Not Now, But Hopefully Soon
The Montreal Canadiens have developed and improved as an organization under the aegis of Gainey, Boivin and Timmins. They have positioned themselves well for a shot at winning the big bowl. Patience, foresight and careful planning have translated into a tangible return on the ice for the team. The presence of former captains and Stanley Cup winners Gainey, Carbonneau and Muller has restored pride and commitment to the players in an organization that had lost its lustre and respect. A cycle of perennial replenishment has likely begun, as the organizational depth is considerable.

OO odt file with screenshot of error message
I downloaded 2.08b and had it working for a few days - then about a week after the download I started the program and got "access violation at address 000000..." and since then have not been able to use the program. 2.07b has expired and now I can no longer use Apophysis. This is very distressing as I have been using the flames in my artwork. What is going on? And why do you let software "expire"?? I have absolutely nothing now and an exhibition coming up in late September...
I have downloaded the file twice but it did not change things.
2.07b worked perfectly.

Help me identify this shower faucet stem/cartridge please (PICS)
Now before you suggest I replace the whole thing, let me say this. I can not afford to replace the whole thing right now and my whole house's water is shut off until I figure something out. (afraid to shut off only the upstairs because of a leak last time I did, had to replace the packing in the valve)
There is a crude letter "P" stamped into the plastic. Other than that there are no identifying marks. Oh, on the brass part there is H,C,S,T i think.( hot cold shower tub) Thanks for reading. http://i48.tinypic.com/24dlwub.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2nls4r4.jpg |
Have you taken it to your local hardware store? I haven't seen that one before. try looking for price pfister or peerless. just because of the 'P' . Good luck.
Oh, do you have a picture of the trim handle. etc. also most times the name is stamped on them.
Thanks for your help. http://i46.tinypic.com/34ht02c.jpg |

Hello All- New to the board here....I was wondering what you all recommended for a Z-Axis 9143-4 in regards to lines. I have a windcutter 8/9/10 now, but wondered what else folks had success with... Thanks
RIO AFS 8/9 at 520 grains RIO Skagit 600 grains RIO Powerspey 8/9 at 640 grains RIO Windcutter 8/9/10 at 585 grains AIRFLO Delta 8/9 AT 600 grains I have had 9143 Z-Axis in the Rod Pool for about Two years now and have had good success with the following lines. The rod seems to have a grain window from 500 grains to about 700 grains. You if you want the heavy feel go heavier or go light if want more line speed. I have some of these lines in the Line Pool The best way for you to know what you want is to try a few lines. Let me know if I can help
Aaron's covered the ground quite nicely .. only thing I might add (if you're into spending 'big bucks' on a hell of a full dry line would be the 9-10 Carron line. If memory serves, Aaron also carries these. Fred

FX & CFD trading involves significant risk
The price of oil rose above $ 93 a barrel on Tuesday, inspired by the recent rise in equity markets, which was supported by the expected increase in the supply of oil to the U.S..
While the stock markets in Asia today has significantly decreased, while European equities showed a small increase, the index Dow Jones showed another profitable session, which was the seventh consecutive increase in the session.
Many traders believe that large amounts of oil in the United States will hold the price rise. Recall that last week, the Department of Energy said that crude oil is 10.3% higher than last year, and oil in the United States for more than 7 million barrels a day, which is the highest level since the end of 1990 's.
Data for the week ending March 8, was expected to show that oil stocks rose 2.3 million barrels, while gasoline inventories increased by 1.5 million barrels.
Note also that OPEC announced today that raises forecast for oil outside the cartel in 2013, but reduces forecast for the consumption of its oil. In addition, OPEC forecasts increase in oil supply from outside the cartel in 2013 to 1 million barrels a day, and the demand for its oil in the amount of 29.7 million barrels a day, up to 2013 data also showed that oil production in the OPEC February rose to 30.31 million barrels a day. Meanwhile, adding that OPEC keeps its forecast for growth in world oil demand in 2013 at 0.8 million barrels a day.
April futures price of U.S. light crude oil WTI (Light Sweet Crude Oil) rose to 92.84 dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
April futures price for North Sea petroleum mix of mark Brent rose 35 cents to $ 110.40 a barrel on the London Stock Exchange ICE Futures Europe.

UPDATED: On Piers Morgan Tonight, Ricky Gervais, co-creator and star of the original British version of The Office and executive producer of the U.S. adaptation, talked about his initial reaction to Steve Carell's decision to leave the NBC series. "I sent him an email saying: I think you are doing the right thing," Gervais said. "As a producer, I was expected to try and stop him because he is a big part of it." Gervais appeared on the fence as to whether The Office should continue without Carell as is the network's plan. "It can survive," he said of the show. "Whether it should or not I don't know." Gervais also talked about his upcoming cameo on The Office as his character from the original series, Michael Scott's counterpart David Brent. "I bump into Steve Carell, it's a little thing," he said of the guest stint, which was supposed to be kept a secret. Here is the full exchange:
Ricky Gervais Supported Steve Carell's Decision To Leave 'The Office'
12 Comments
"…which was supposed to be kept a secret."
When are you guys going to apologize for spoiling it?
He said the producers announced it, doesn't sound like a major storyline anyway, more like a quick cameo
Why does Piers keep interrupting him with his pre-written, off-topic questions. STOP INTERRUPTING. Because, guess what– Gervais is a thousand times more interesting than you.
Gervais is being diplomatic. It's hardly a secret that he dislikes the cartoonish, sub-par U.S. version of The Office, and the last few seasons in particular. At the Emmys, he joked that the show had "jumped the shark." He was right.
Apparently, there's no love lost between the U.S. Office producers and Gervais. The always repulsive, perpetually self-promoting Mindy Kaling recently tweeted that she wished Sean Penn had been at the Golden Globes, apparently to confront Gervais for his jokes (as Penn did to Chris Rock at the 2005 Oscars).
That Gervais is responsible for the show that gave Kaling an income and career is apparently lost on Kaling.
For those hard of hearing, below is a transcript of the interview.
RICKY: So the exciting thing I thought was…
PIERS: Here's a question I wrote this morning for you. Answer it please?
RICKY: Ok, well the answer which is interesting and cool is…
PIERS: And here's another question I wrote oh no, my ratings are a quarter from three days ago please answer this other question right now.
RICKY: I'm trying to, mate. Something behind the scenes on how it all happened was…
PIERS: Another question! Answer quick before the show gets canceled and the frosted glass backdrop we recycled from Conan's NBC set gets melted again for someone else! Fish and chips!
RICKY: I lost 30 pounds for this?
I know, I don't get why Piers can not allow his guest to finish answering a question before talking over him to answer another. I don't know if the format of pre-taped interviews is what Piers is going to do going forward or if that was just for premier week, but maybe he would be better live. I don't know. What I do know is that this show is terrible and only good guests can save it.
The Office is fine. Yeah, it's more over-the-top than the British version. But that doesn't make it better or worse, just different.
As for The Office's current quality, I admit the novelty has worn off. But the show still produces more good episodes than mediocre ones. For any TV show, I think a lot of folks conclude if it's past the fourth or fifth season, the show has jumped the shark.
No, it makes it worse. By a country mile. And the show's been a stream of mediocrity since Greg Daniels et al. were siphoned off to PARKS AND RECREATION.
When Ricky Gervais implies the show should not go on, time's up.
The American version of the 'office' show;
bad terrible the worst.
The original , an artpiece. Absolute, visual
Holy $#*! you and Tenafly Jim watch too much television. If you don't like the show, go for a jog or meet a girl.
Nice for one the hacks on the OFFICE writing staff to check in.
Benny Hill is the one and only funny thing that came out of the UK. That's the list (not so fast Monty Python).

The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC) has a rich and long history at Harvard. The Division of Semitic Languages, created in 1880, was precursor to NELC. Professor Crawford H. Toy taught course that greatly expanded the curriculum and increased enrollment. He taught Arabic as well as Hebrew and Aramaic. The division was later renamed the Department of Semitic Languages and History. In 1961, reorganization resulted in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. For over a century, through name change and reorganization, the department has resided at the Semitic Museum.
Drawing of the Semitic Museum, c. 1903. |
The Department encompasses the study of ancient and modern peoples, languages, literatures, cultures, and societies of the Near and Middle East. Languages include Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Armenian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Iranian, Persian, Sumerian, Turkish and Yiddish. NELC has three general fields of study for graduate students (A.M. and Ph.D) and has four tracks for undergraduate concentrators. Currently, the department enrolls 65 graduate students and 21 undergraduate concentrators. |
Current view of the Museum. |
The NELC faculty is world-renowned and includes 15 professors, 2 associate professors, 8 lecturers, and 9 preceptors. Please see Recent Faculty Activity on our hompage for highlighted information of current members of the faculty. In addition to the full-time faculty, the department attracts visiting faculty and researchers from around the world.
Harvard's educational resources in the various fields of Near Eastern Studies are virtually unparalleled. Widener Library, for example, has a broad assortment of holdings in Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish and Yiddish literature. For students interested in biblical or other ancient Near Eastern studies, or in the archaeology of the Near East, a variety of opportunities for archaeological work in the Middle East are available, including the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon. Students interested in the modern Near Eastern political or social studies should familiarize themselves with the resources and personnel of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES). CMES is the coordinating body and a primary source of intellectual and material support within Harvard for scholarly pursuits covering the vast area between Morocco and Iran, and beyond. It was the first center of its kind and is responsible for teaching as well as research. The Center for Jewish Studies is the focal point at Harvard for the study and teaching of Judaica through publications, fellowships, lectures and symposia on topics of interest to scholars and post-doctoral research fellows. CJS coordinates undergraduate and graduate studies on an interdisciplinary basis. The Harvard Semitic Museum, in which the Department is housed, has a superb collection of ancient and medieval artifacts representing many of the cultures of the Middle and Near East. As a University teaching museum, the Semitic Museum is committed to providing access to these materials for study and teaching.
