Is there a reason why everybody goes head-to-head with their best stuff on Sunday nights? What the hell? I'm supposed to watch 18 different shows at once and keep up? Come on now.

Anyway: I'm surprised you didn't mention The Walking Dead, coming up in two weeks on AMC. BBC America's Luther might be okay too.

Both good catches. Luther is certainly tempting me, since it stars the incomparable Idris Elba as a rogue cop on the edge, who just might be as broken as the criminals he catches. I'll probably go back and watch the whole thing some weekend when I'm bored.

The Walking Dead is tricky. On one hand, zombies are played out and loved by the most annoying nerds, non-anime category. What could it possibly have to say? On the other hand, AMC is three for three with Rubicon, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men. Speaking of, AMC joins NBC on my angrylist for the stunt they pulled this weekend. Rubicon ended with a grim, ambiguous conversation on a dark rooftop, and the instant the season and probably series finale ended, CUT TO A GIANT JAMES BADGE DALE HEAD ON A BRIGHT WHITE BACKDROP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVES ZOMBIES.

I suppose since the pilot leaked recently, I could watch it and actually write something useful. An intriguing idea.

Things I learned from the first episode of Luther: Idris Elba does can kick the shit out of doors and desks.

Thank God for my iPad. Watching band of brothers while my man goes in on the radio :)

So, the Bank of England not only escapes from the credit crunch without any blame but it's to be given increased authority. Is this any reason though for expecting it to be able to save us from what's being referred to as 'inflation' but is really just plain old 'price rises'? The BofE can't keep on top of events clearly within its remit, let alone those happening on the other side of the world.

Bank of England chief Mervyn King gets a knighthood (OBE) but, one wonders, what for? I mean, where was he during the credit crunch and what did he do then or has he done since? He got a salary while he was there, didn't he? The world and its dog knows there's an even bigger crunch on the way soon because the people supposedly in charge (arise, Sir Melvyn, for instance) resolutely refused point blank to address any of the real issues involved, so what's he getting his gong for? Not breaking ranks completely maybe, remembering he said of all the banking systems possible the one we have is the worst? Was this his reward for keeping quiet about more contentious issues?

JKL, do you have the SOS numbers for these teams as well? I'd be curious how often the tiebreaker winner (thanks to H2H) had a harder schedule. I'm still slightly skeptical of using H2H as the tiebreaker, but you've done a great job here of making the case. I suppose if it is often the case that the two teams are 10-6 with one having a hard SOS and one having an easy SOS, and the 10-6 team with the hard SOS wins H2H, then H2H is really just a proxy for SOS. And I'm okay with that. If two teams have the same record but very different SOS, then the one with the harder SOS is the better team and we should have expected them to win H2H against a weaker team.

I hear that the democrats are bring in people from surrounding states to work for Coakley. I wish Brown all the luck in the world, but I fear election fraud will win out again.

I will echo the sentiments of others here who have stated how courageous you are not just in working toward your goals but also in laying out a setback like this, in all its gory glory. I feel we are the ones who are blessed to have someone like yourself so willing to share both the good and the bad. I have to say that reading your training reports, aside from being highly entertaining, do motivate me to bust some ass out there for myself and that is what helped me meet and surpass my own goal for PDR08.

Why arent you found guilty of beating your spouse?It never happened? Ah, but there was evidence outside the trial saying you did.Geez!

Im in shock. I wonder if ACORN doesnt even bother to organize in such a dark blue state? Maybe the guy has a chance? Man, would that be great! Im rooting for him

Your middle ground statement assumes that there is some point where both of them are unhurt. That doesnt need to be equal innings for both of them, it could be a more than half the innings for one (likely Aceves) than the other. Its possible that shifting even one inning of work from Aceves to Hughes would lead to both of them being injured.

If you say admit to crimes (real or not real) on blog posts, can you be reported to the police and be tried on what is written online?. What if the crime was just a lie, and its a supposed crime you did in another country?.

From the BAAs About page:

Based on the terribly stupid title that equates Zen with positive thinking I was prepared to hate the article as just another example of the linguistic abuse of the word zen. However, the article turned out to be just the opposite of the title, so the meaning was saved. Like you say, Zen is the mind being attentive to the mind; without being attached to good and bad, what is your original face? Without trying to avoid hating heat or trying to be happy with heat, turning the awareness of heat around to be aware of the source of awareness itself.

Rushdie raises a pertinent point not about good films bad films not about good intentions and bad intentions of a writer and a film-maker but the process by which these texts get created received in the west, about our still rather skewed and unequal relationship with the west these issues need some pondering because they continue to shape our thinking our attitudes and thus our films.

Those are interesting opinions. I dont have any reason to dispute what you say, but my thinking, in general the last few years, is that most pitchers are afraid to throw the ball right over the plate in ANY count. Ive not heard anyone complain of a pitcher being too willing to throw it over the plate. Youd probably say that theres a difference between throwing it down the middle and throwing a strike at the knees on the corner, which no doubt is true. But having a guy willing to let em hit it is a breath of fresh air, even if it does lead to homers.

Bruce, this other guy in your league didnt go by the initials S.M., did he?

Three weeks ago Scott Brown was running a race under the Democrats radar and beginning to get a surge of support from fed-up independent voters. Republicans were energized (spitting nails would be more accurate) and Democrats figured the election was in the bag. I thought then that hed likely win in a low-turnout election.

Just keep on promoting this idiotic multiculti anti-Jew-only bull shitit will go nowhere. It is time to reveal the truth. If you think it is not time, you are a fool (or a shill). If these idiots cant get it by now they likely never will. Quit acting like Jew hufshit and cut to the meat! Or are you working with him, daryl, and the rest? Dont give me that shit that well, they need more time, NO, the time is now! Lets get with the program, idiots. The more you fuck around, the more you fuck up. We are tired of hearing anti-zionist right? Well its time to spill the beans about the rest of picture, and that includes the racial problems. I dont give a shit what commander hufshit says.

yeah crazyrals//..u see? now the American right wing has taken slumdog and turned it into a racial epithetso I will reiterate for all the Kashyaps out there..Danny Boyle is a victim of an age old conditioning process which reduces the entire third world into cockroach infested, crime riddled cesspools, which can be their only depiction onscreen that will be accepted by mainstream audiences..he may not be aware of this, but it exists nevertheless..hey Kashyap, however high you may climb in your profession, you will always be another slumdog filmmaker who climbed out of the shit to make his mark in the civilized world..Just like Laxmi Mittal is a slumdog industrialist who made good (much to the chagrin of the French at his taking over Arcelor), and just as Freida Pinto will be known as the first ever slumdog to grace the cover of People magazinethe list goes on. We will never, ever lose that epithet no matter how gentile,cultured and refined we feel we arethanks to Boyles conveniently packaged and highly cliched representation of the exotic eastHey Tata,Birla, Ambani, all you goddam slumdogs out there, are you listening?? A brand new label has just been coined to describe you allnow I am no longer seperated from the great Indian Unwashed mass..LOL..8 Oscars has made sure of thatr u listening , all you slumdogs with wireless internet,split a/cs,two cars per household,Barista sipping,HBO watching citizens of a Global Powerhaha, nothing but a bunch of Slumdogs at the end of the daythanks Boyle.Not since Lord Macauley (who claimed to love India a lot) said that one shelf of British writing was worth more than the entire generations of Indian literature, has anyone done our nation such a great serviceand even self-proclaimed artists like Kashyap are busy lapping it up

De Amerikaanse evangelist Perry Stone is al vele jaren zonder twijfel een van de bekendste en meest fervente pre-trib Opname predikers ter wereld. Op een recente eindtijd conferentie in St.Louis (VS) schokte hij zijn toehoorders door te opperen dat de Opname en Verdrukking, die volgens velen nu op ieder moment zouden kunnen gaan plaatsvinden, mogelijk nog tot 2032 op zich laten wachten.
