Reading the World of Downton Abbey: Episode 6
Post by Lisa Schimmer
Posted February 10, 2013 in NoveList Plus, NoveList Select, Readers' Advisory News
SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you want to avoid spoilers.
Cheers Downton Abbey fans,
Welcome to episode 6. Be sure to check out my post on episode 5 if you missed it. We've a two-hour episode this week, so everyone at Downton is going to get some screen time. Since it's the penultimate episode, a lot of story arcs are coming to a head.
O'Brien finally convinces Thomas of Jimmy's receptiveness to his affections. Jimmy doesn't take well to being made out with while he's sleeping and, with encouragement/subtle manipulation from O'Brien, demands that Carson dismiss Thomas without a reference (which is The Worst Thing That Could Ever Happen if you're in service). Thomas is too bereft to take up arms against his frenemy O'Brien, but is rescued by his arch-nemesis, the recently restored Bates. The humbled Thomas is even given a promotion, but most important to Lord Grantham, Thomas will be around to be the ringer on the house cricket team in the yearly match against the village.
Meanwhile, upstairs…
Lady Violet is visited by her great-niece, the young Rose. Unbeknownst to the Dowager Countess, Rose is actually in exile because she's been busted by her mother (and later Rosamund, Edith and Matthew) cavorting about London town with a married man (not to mention the jazz clubs). Scandalous! This is the viewing audience's introduction to the Bright Young Things of the period – the unaffected youth who just want to have a good time, damn the torpedoes.
Edith's attraction to her editor is tempered when she finds out he's married.
Matthew and Mary cross paths at the doctor's office and then have an awkward conversation about their fertility issues.
Branson/Tom agrees to stay on at Downton as the estate manager. He even sucks up his Irish pride and takes his place on the house cricket team.
Lord Grantham and Matthew finally agree (or agree to disagree?) on Downton's future.
And now for the books… Evelyn Waugh double-feature!
Brideshead revisited by Evelyn Waugh
This particular title could seemingly have been introduced at any point in the season, but I saved it for this episode. If you haven't read it or seen the two fabulous screen adaptations, you're missing out. Waugh isn't trying to be funny here -- he's simply depicting a world where affairs of the heart are suffocated by social institutions (marriage, religion). And of course there is a posh English family involved.
Vile bodies by Evelyn Waugh
Waugh is trying to be funny here. A group of friends (mostly rich, young aristocrats like Lady Rose) who grew up in the post WWI period and have been inured to the absurdities and indignities of modern life further avoid reality by essentially drinking and doing dumb things. Although in America we call this phase "college," it was novel concept at the time this book was written (1930) and introduced a lot of things that society was still too polite to acknowledge, let alone talk about.
The eye in the door by Pat Barker
The second novel in the author's Regeneration trilogy addresses the public perception of homosexuality and its corresponding moral assumptions in early 20th century Britain.
England, their England by A.G. Macdonell
Bordering on the farcical, this classic gives an outsider's account of the English way of life in the 1920s, primarily everything that is ridiculous about it. Also cricket's finest hour in fiction.
The jewel box by Anna Davis
A little historical chick lit to lighten the mood… Modern (1920s) woman leads a double life in London and gets caught in a love triangle. Keep your fingers crossed that Edith gets an embarrassment-of-riches storyline! (Although I do find her editor extremely adorable, despite his unfortunate marital status).

Tar Heels rally past Pitt
Dennis Garcia
dgarcia@courier-tribune.com
CHAPEL HILL -- Most college football teams have a stretch of games on the schedule where the direction of the season will be determined. The North Carolina Tar Heels began their stretch Saturday at home as the defending Coastal Division champions hosted Pittsburgh in opening the ACC season.
Judging by the final result, the Tar Heels are heading in the right direction.
North Carolina rallied by scoring two touchdowns in the game's final 5:24, including the tying touchdown and winning PAT with just 2 seconds left as the Tar Heels recorded an improbable 37-36 win over the Panthers at Kenan Stadium. While Pitt ran up and down the field for three quarters and dominated the time of possession, it was a pair of 2-yard scoring strikes to Bug Howard that lifted the Tar Heels to 1-0 in ACC play and 3-1 overall heading into a very difficult stretch. North Carolina, which won its fourth straight over Pitt and earned its ninth straight victory at home,will next travel to Florida State, return home to host Virginia Tech and then head to Miami to complete a crucial four-week stretch.
But no one wanted to talk about the upcoming games. They were way to excited about this one.
"We knew it would take 60 minutes to beat them and we used every second of that to get it done," UNC head coach Larry Fedora said. "We have an opportunity to establish an identity and what I saw today was a lot of grit, a lot of toughness, all the intangibles."
The Tar Heels trailed 36-23 after a 40-yard field goal by Chris Blewitt early in the fourth quarter, but UNC's much-maligned defense came up with a number of big stops the rest of the way and the offense took advantage.
After Howard hauled in a 2-yard scoring pass from Mitch Trubisky, who completed his first 12 passes of the game to give him a school record 30 straight completions over the past two games, with 5:24 left that pulled UNC to within 36-30, the Tar Heels' defense forced a punt.
Trubisky, who was 35 of 46 for 453 yards and five touchdowns, took over on the UNC 37 with 3:35 left. Trubisky found Ryan Switzer (16 catches for 208 yards and one TD) and Austin Proehl (7 catches for 99 yards and one TD) to keep the game-winning drive alive as UNC converted on fourth down three times. A 13-yard pass to Howard moved the ball to the 4-yard line and after a running play netted nothing, the clock continued to tick. With just seconds left, Trubisky lofted a pass to Howard in the front of the end zone and Howard made a difficult catch.
"I was just thinking to make a play," Howard said. "We had called that play on the previous two plays and we went with it again. Everyone believes."
Nick Weiler's PAT was true and the Tar Heels stopped Pitt on the ensuing kickoff for the win.
Switzer said he knew the passing game would have an opportunity to shine against the Panthers.
"They are a predominantly run-stopping defense and they put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, so we knew if we could protect him I would have some matchups I thought I could take advantage of."
Pitt dominated the first quarter as the Panthers held the ball for 14:27 while the Tar Heels had the ball for just four total plays and 33 seconds. Pitt had a 5-0 lead after getting a safety on UNC's first play from the scrimmage - a drive that started on their own 5-yard line - and a 50-yard field goal from Blewitt at the 2:16 mark.
The time of possession didn't change much in the second quarter, but the Tar Heels were able to strike quickly. Although the Panthers led the first-half time of possession 24:13-5:47, the Tar Heels scored on three drives. Trailing 12-0 after James Connor capped a scoring drive with a 1-yard run for the Panthers, the Tar Heels scored on a 39-yard pass play from Trubisky to Mack Hollins.
After Pitt's George Astin scored on a 3-yard run to make it 19-7 with 6:38 left in the first half, Switzer hauled in a 19-yard scoring strike, and when Carolina misfired on a two-point pass attempt, the Pitt lead was 19-13. Pitt appeared to be attempting to run out the first-half clock when UNC recovered a fumble and Weiler's 34-yard feld goal as time expired pulled UNC to within 19-16 at halftime.
"We held the ball for 18 minutes and won a football game," Fedora said. "That's hard to do."

Michael Jackson 'Married' 10-Year-Old Boy, Claims New Documentary
Dominic Smithers in Entertainment
Last updated 8:07 PM, Monday March 04 2019 GMT
Michael Jackson allegedly 'married' one of the boys he has been accused of abusing, according to claims made in a shocking new documentary.
James Safechuck says he was just 10 years old when he married the King of Pop - then 30 - in a ceremony in the singer's bedroom and says he still has the jewellery to prove it.
The revelations come as part of the upcoming documentary Leaving Neverland, which delves into the accusations of abuse alleged against the late singer.
Safechuck says: "I was really into jewellery at that time and he would reward me with jewellery for doing sexual acts to him.
"He would say that I need to sell him some so I could earn the gift."
Now a father of two, computer programmer Safechuck says it wasn't long into their relationship when Jackson decided to take things a step further.
He says: "So we were like this married couple. I say 'married' because we had this mock wedding ceremony.

"We did this in his bedroom and we filled out some vows, like we would be bonded forever. It felt good. And the ring is nice - it has a row of diamonds, the wedding ring."
The pair had met a year earlier, on the set of a Pepsi commercial in 1987. Just a few months later however, Safechuck says he was being abused by the star - but says he still feels come guilt.
"We were just like fully in love at that time. When I wasn't with him, I was thinking of him.
"It just feels like the greatest thing when he calls. He'd come over and we'd spend the day shopping or hang out, or he'd come over and he'd spend the night. Or we'd go to the Hideout in Westwood and spend a few nights there."
In the candid interview, the 40-year-old pulls out the ring he claims the popstar gave him during the 'wedding' ceremony, which now barely fits on his adult fingers.

He says: "It's hard to go back to that moment. You know, I like jewellery and I liked it as a kid so I think something that I liked was used against me. It causes discomfort."
Picking out another item, he says: "This piece of jewellery is like a Rolex ring with a diamond in the middle. My hands are shaking just thinking about them.
"We would go buy them at jewellery stores and we would pretend they were for someone else. Like for a female, but he would pretend like my small hand would fit for whatever female we were buying it for."
He adds: "Yeah, I don't like looking at the jewellery."
Leaving Neverland will premiere on Channel 4 this week.

The Differences Between Saudi Arabia And the UAE from an Ideological Viewpoint by Brian H.Hayden
Brian H.Hayden
05:28 AM September, 12 2017
Sudanese Online
Brian H.Hayden-UK
Relations between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and its quality have always kept the Middle East experts thought busy to itself. Because of the real quiddity of the relations between these two countries, under the influence of conflicts and the common understanding points, is very ambiguous and has its different ups and downs.
For example, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh are of the same opinion in some cases such as confronting the Muslim Brotherhood and Yemen's Ansar Allah and stopping the expansionist policies of some Middle Eastern countries and the need for a final settlement of the Palestinian question. however, issues such as Yemen as the southern gate of the Red Sea and the strategic Suez Canal are changed into the place of strife and challenge between two countries leaders.
The emirate at the time of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, due to its newness and the need for domestic stability and establishment, was pursuing an unbiased policy to have friendly relations with all the countries of the world.
After the death of Sheikh Zayed, Khalifa bin Zayed announced that the UAE–Saudi border agreement, which now Abu Dhabi explicitly called "cruel", should be reviewed.
In 1974, the United Arab Emirates, in order to expedite to be recognized officially, signed a land agreement with Saudi Arabia which came to be known as the Jeddah Agreement.
Emirate officials emphasize on this point that " Some exceptional conditions" have forced them to make such an agreement which has led to "the UAE's apparent loss" and the surrender of 80 percent of the Shaybah oil field and Khawr al Udayd to Saudi Arabia.
These border disputes turned into a crisis named "the UAE Ground Siege" by Saudi Arabia in 2009.The peak of this tension occurred when two Emirati patrol boats targeted a Saudi boat in Khawr al Udayd and arrested two Saudi border guards.
after the death of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, his successors began their intervention plans to reduce Saudi influence in the east and west of the Arab world.
Although Saudi Arabia and the UAE were unanimous to frustrate the so-called Arab Spring revolutions, but the UAE tried behind the curtain to replace its allies with Saudi affiliates in countries like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
At this time, Yemen and the strategic port of Eden led to Publicize more and more the existing differences between these two countries.
Yemen has now become a full showcase of the Saudi-Emirates differences. Meanwhile, Emirates is trying to gain alone dominion over the strategic port of Aden. In this regard, different reports have been transmitted about the assassination of important people including leaders of Yemeni reformist party in the camp of Saudi Arabia.
Apart from the territorial disputes, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have deep ideological differences.
the origin of these differences is in the kind of look of rulers of the Emirate, which introduce themselves as " the only progressive option to alternate Saudi radical Islam".
In this regard, Mohammed bin Zayed the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi told Richard Haass that when he sees Nayef, he becomes more convinced that "Darwin was right," implying that Nayef was ape-like in character.
Emirati officials have been struggling to defeat Saudi ideology by offering a pleasant face of Emirati women against a haggard face of Saudi women.
Also, Mohammad bin Zayed said to a US Navy Commander: "The Emirates experiences significant advances and evolutions while its backward neighbor, Saudi Arabia, does not even permit 52 percent of its people to drive.
The UAE held a conference called "Definition of ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʻah (Arabic: أهل السنة والجماعة)" in Grozny, the capital city of the Chechen Republic, to demonstrate Saudi Arabia's Salafi-Wahhabi Islam as radical Islam. In the latest statement of the conference, two schools of Wahhabi and Hanbali were not considered as ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʻah.
This matter provoked the anger of Saudi officials and forced them to warn Emirati authorities about such actions by holding the Mina conference in Mecca.The nations of the UAE and Saudi Arabia will be the only victims of the existing competition between both countries.
These two countries will reach a stage that not only they will give different economic and political privileges to others, but also they will build up the inverted image of each other for the world public opinion.This is while other countries consider them as "Milk Bull", which should be exploited them as much as possible.

Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962) Script
Journey to the Seventh Planet
There are no limits to the imagination.
And man's ability to make reality out of his visions... is his greatest strength.
Through this skill he has been able to conquer time and space.
The story you are about to see takes place... after man has solved the complex mysteries of space travel.
Life is changed now.
The planet Earth is no longer racked by wars and threats of annihilation.
Man has learned to live with himself.
The United Nations is the sole governing body of the world... and the great hunger now is for knowledge.
All the planets near the sun, including Saturn... have been explored and chartered by the UN space fleet.
But as yet, no sign of life in any form has been discovered.
The search goes on, and systematic exploration continues.
Spaceship Explorer 12... is now on a mission to survey, land... and investigate the seventh planet, Uranus.
We got an extra passenger.
She's new.
Who is she, Don?
Sorry, Commander, this is private stock. Name's Greta Tyson.
Haven't met her myself yet, but I worked and schemed for two months.
Finally got a date with her tonight, and they had to call this U-Day.
You look like you could go for her yourself, Commander.
Don't tell me you're looking for romance.
No, Sullivan. Love is one luxury I've never had time for.
It's no problem for me, sir. No, Don, for you it's a hobby.
Why don't you find one girl and settle down?
"You and your wife can make a career of it." Me?
I'm like the commander. Space is my vocation.
Women, that's my avocation.
Like food with Barry.
O'Sullivan, we've all got some vice.
Mine's safer than yours.
And that's my advice to Karl, in case he has any ideas about women.
There's plenty of time, kid.
In Germany where I lived... there was a girl, Ursula.
But I never really got to know her very well.
Maybe when we get back, I'll line you up.
There was a girl, Lisa, a real chick.
She was German, too.
A UN biological expert.
Boy, was she biological!
I wish I could have taught her my kind of biology.
Okay, now, let's get back to space.
Check out, and then we'll study our flight instructions.
Don, chart info.
We passed the moon 12 and a half minutes ago.
Should be sighting Mars in about 40 minutes.
On schedule, on course, sir.
Barry, radio and radar check.
Checks out, Commander.
Spoke to HQ, Base 7. Loud and clear, right on schedule, operation normal.
Karl?
Radiation normal.
No signs of meteors or other alien objects.
Svend?
All in order, Commander.
Atomic units functioning perfectly.
Those motors are beautiful. Right.
Now, let's get down to flight instructions.
We were all briefed by control before we left... but let's go over it once more.
Don, will you please read them? Yes, sir.
We are to follow the route of the other Explorer ships past Mars...
Jupiter, and Saturn, then on pre-set automatic to Uranus.
We are to circle the planet, survey, and report before landing.
Some sort of radiation signal has been traced to this planet.
And we are to investigate. But there's no real expectation of life.
Sure, there's a sweet chance of that at 200 degrees below zero.
Our mission is to land, search the planet carefully... check for the source of radiation signals and for any sign of life, past or present.
We're allowed only 10 days, or we lose our trajectory.
Is that understood? 10 days is all we have.
Excuse me, sir... this is my first flight, and...
I understand. We all got the jitters the first time out.
Take it easy. You'll be okay.
Why don't we open the ports and let the boy get his first look at Miss Universe?
You know, there's nothing like that first look.
Well, there she is, Karl. The universe.
Approaching Uranus.
Getting ready to go into orbit.
Acknowledged mark, your approach is chartered. Start signal from 00:05.
This is Explorer 12.
Wilco and out.
Ready to cut deceleration rockets.
Deceleration rockets' cut-off ready, sir.
Fuel consumption?
Normal and steady.
Rig for weightlessness. Duration, two minutes.
Ten seconds to orbital position.
Stand by.
Three, two, one.
Power off.
We're in orbit.
My last fresh-frozen galaxial apple.
Stand by for atmosphere entry.
Ready to fire retrorockets.
Cut in!
Don!
Karl!
Svend!
I have waited long for this moment.
Give me your minds.
Your innermost thoughts.
You are powerless.
I shall drain your minds... and bend your will to mine.
You will submit... and I shall... possess you.
Through your minds and bodies...
I will rule you... and make your world mine.
I guess we all blacked out.
But for how long?
The chronometer shows a lapse of nearly two hours.
Two hours, and how many days?
What do you mean? This.
It was fresh. I just took it out.
Now it's rotten.
In two hours?
Matter can't react like that.
All right, everybody, snap out of it. We'll figure that out later.
Right now, we land. Don?
Still in orbit, sir. Stand by.
Cut in.
What's the gravity pull?
1.05 Earth standard, sir.
Ready braking rockets. Braking rockets ready, sir.
Fire rockets.
I wonder if they'll have a welcome celebration.
Open the viewport, Don. Let's have a look.
I see it, but I don't believe it.
Frozen ammonia, they said.
Helium, hydrogen and methane gases.
A temperature of minus 200.
Nothing like this.
Karl, what's the radiometer reading?
Interior radiation, normal.
Exterior radiation... normal.
All right, let's get at it.
We're not going to leave the ship until all tests have been made... checked, and double-checked. Begin atmosphere tests.
Who opened the air lock?
Fresh as a man could hope from any atmosphere.
It sure is an effective way of inviting us outside.
Get your guns.
What's the matter, Svend? You look as if you if had seen a ghost.
Maybe I have.
I have the strangest feeling...
I've been here before.
D�j� vu, that's all.
It's a trick of the imagination. No. It's not like that.
You see, I do know this area very well.
I spent my whole childhood there.
Commander... over there... inside the forest... is a small stream.
And there is a large stone in the middle of it.
Let's go. Keep your eyes open.
It's exactly as I remember it.
What do you make of it, sir?
I haven't any answers now, Don.
Not a breath of air.
No animal life.
Has any one of you seen anything alive?
What do you make of this?
Commander.
Look at this.
This plant has no roots.
Don, try that bush. Pull it up.
They're all the same.
Everything looks all right on the surface.
But how can it grow without roots?
Barry! Look!
An apple tree.
That tree wasn't here before. And we passed right by here.
We've got an Alice in Wonderland forest here.
Let's see how many other surprises it has for us.
Keep together. Come on.
Commander! Don! Come here!
It's a barrier of some kind. See?
What do you make of it? It's like a wall, but it's almost invisible.
Barry, Svend, circle around this thing.
It's crazy.
It looks like nothing.
Careful.
What is it, Eric?
It feels... like an air cushion...
but without any substance to it.
There's a slight tingle.
It seems to give a little.
What do you think it is, sir?
A field.
A force field.
A force field?
It covers the whole area, as far as I went.
There's a clearing ahead.
This wall goes across, but I couldn't see the top.
Looks like we're encircled by it. I don't think it has an end.
Svend, get me a stick. Yes, sir.
Take this. Yes, sir.
At least we know it can be penetrated.
Yes... and that's all we know.
We still have no idea... what it's like... on the other side.
I'll find out. No, Karl!
Burns!
His arm's frozen, just like ice.
I don't agree with you, Commander. It's too dangerous to go through the wall.
We're to explore Uranus. That's why we're here.
I know that.
We've got a job to do.
If going through the wall is part of it, we'll do it.
But we haven't got enough to go on.
No answers at all.
We accomplish nothing by staying put.
The answers we're looking for are beyond that wall, not here.
And just how do you know that?
How do you know the solution isn't right here, right in front of us?
Because nothing in front of us is real.
It doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist? What do you mean?
What we see cannot possibly be Uranus.
It's as if we're in the middle of a weird hallucination.
It's weird, all right. So what's your point?
Everything we see has been taken out of our minds.
Svend's forest stream, the apple tree... something, someone, has brought them to light.
But who?
Some power or some alien being we cannot understand.
The lad is resting fine now.
His arm is completely healed. It should have been frozen off.
I don't get it.
There's a lot of things we don't get.
But I'm glad Karl's all right.
Do you not find it right pleasing to be here, Commander?
It is like a beautiful spot on the Emerald Isle.
Complete with Uranian leprechauns.
Now, me lad, a body shouldn't make fun of the little people.
Am I right, Commander?
Or do city people like yourself not believe in such matters?
Faith and begorra, we do.
Anyway, I'm not real city people...
I was raised in a small village in Scone.
Whitewashed houses and barns with straw-thatched roofs.
And we had our own little people at Christmas time, Barry.
The Yuletonte.
We used to put some rice pudding out for them on Christmas Eve.
It was always gone the next morning.
There were two beautiful birch trees right outside our house.
And I could see the old windmill from my room.
And on Saint Lucia's Day, the prettiest girl in the village... would bring around her special little cakes.
I remember one girl. Her name was Ingrid.
She looked like a queen.
A goddess.
Don, Barry, get your guns. Svend, go back to the ship.
Tell Karl everything and stay on the ship.
Aye, sir.
We're going to pay that mirage a little visit.
This is my father's barn.
I thought you said it was an illusion.
That door should lead to the house.
Come on.
Ingrid!
Welcome, Eric.
Barry, take a look through the rest of the house.
Don, stay here.
You are Ingrid?
I am Ingrid.
Where did you come from?
Who else lives here?
No one you don't wish to be here.
Nobody. All right. Back to the ship.
Wait a minute, sir. That's an order.
I'll be here, Eric... when you want me.
Why the hasty retreat, sir?
It was just getting interesting.
Don't you realize what's going on?
Ingrid? Yes.
Whoever thought her up really knows his business.
We should have stayed, Eric.
At least we could have talked to her.
She might have given us a couple of answers.
At least she gave me a couple of ideas.
Yes, sir. Come on.
Hi, darling.
I remember you.
You are Lisa? Yes. Lisa.
Will you come with me? Just for a little while.
I'd love to.
But right now, duty calls. You'll hear its voice any moment.
Tonight?
You can count on it.
Have you forgotten me?
Greta, how could I forget about you?
Well, it looked like you had.
No, I haven't, and I'm not likely to.
Well, then... let's go for a walk.
You know, we could arrange that another time.
Why not this time?
Suppose we find a cozy little place to be alone for a while.
Darling, another time may be too late.
Greta... there's nothing I'd like more than that.
But duty calls. I have to go back.
You'd better be careful.
There's always the possibility I won't be here again.
Don, up here on the double. The commander wants you.
Roger.
Sorry, baby, gotta go.
I will see you again.
I've no doubt you will, if you wish.
I wish.
One thing.
You are real, aren't you? I mean...
What kept you?
Duty, sir.
Interrogation.
Go on.
There were two more of them down there.
Two more girls. Figures, with you down there.
I won't argue with that.
Despite what's been happening here... the answers we must find lie on the other side of that barrier.
We're going through. Makes sense.
With the unknown factor out there, that enclosure...
Barry, you said it went right across the clearing?
Yes, sir. Right across the center.
We're going through there.
Six-hour oxygen cylinders, fully armed.
Don?
Karl, if you're okay.
I'm all right, sir. You'll go with me.
Barry, Svend, stay here in the ship.
I'd like to come, sir. No.
We're going through at 0700 hours.
If we don't return in six hours, go to the barrier.
Don't cross.
Give us an hour.
If we don't show up, you'll know you don't have to wait any longer.
Your orders then are, take off at once... if possible.
What do you mean, if possible?
Let's hope we don't have to find out.
Intercom check. Karl? Check.
Loud and clear, sir.
We still don't know the effects of crossing... or if we can.
Let me go first, sir. No, Karl.
That's my job.
Do you read me?
Don? Come in.
Why didn't you acknowledge?
I didn't hear a thing, sir.
I guess the radio waves can't penetrate the force field.
Uranus, the seventh planet.
Karl, what's the radiation?
700 roentgens plus per hour... and pulsating.
Let's go.
Karl, a radiation check.
In which direction is it strongest? It's almost impossible to tell.
It seems to be a little stronger in that direction.
All right. We'll make a marker here.
Hurry, Karl. Anchor my legs.
All right, Don, stretch.
I can't hold on. I've got to move forward, Karl.
Now, Don, reach.
Hold on.
Ammonia snow.
So cold and dry, it has no adhesion.
Like quicksand.
Quicksnow.
I'm glad you were here to pull me out.
Stay on the rocks from now on, as much as possible.
And be careful.
Yes, sir. And thank you, Eric.
Razor sharp. Watch it.
They can rip our suits open.
Listen, do you hear that?
Commander, look at this.
That's the first sign of movement we've seen out here.
Could it be a lava flow?
It looks molten.
But how does that figure? A molten mass and everything frozen solid?
Look, it moved when I shot at it.
You have come to me...
feeble, stupid men...
armed only with courage... and foolish weapons.
You have come to destroy me... but my weapons are more powerful than yours.
Your own fears... have created the means of your destruction.
Come then! Challenge me!
We shall see who survives.
Quick, this way.
Snap out of it! Karl!
All right, Karl, Don... when I yell, run.
Commander, I... Save it, Karl.
That was quite a reception committee our host dreamed up for us.
Why couldn't he have thought of something more pleasant?
Now, that's better.
Well, what are we waiting for? Easy, Don.
Look, Commander, this kind of monster I can handle.
No, Don. We're going back to the ship.
We're overdue as of right now.
Granted that something, some entity, is able to create those things... taking them right out of our minds.
What about that weird-eyed monster?
It was of the rodent family.
Couldn't possibly exist in the temperature of Uranus.
All right, where did it come from?
From me.
I have always had an abnormal fear of rats.
That's why I couldn't stand up to that rat thing.
Our deepest, greatest fears... are being dug up from our subconscious... by whatever the power is out there, and pitted against us.
There's something else now.
Do you mind if I ask you a personal question, Eric?
Shoot.
Have you ever been in love? I don't see...
Now, Eric. We're all in this together.
No, I haven't.
That little lady, Ingrid.
Don't you think she's just about perfect?
There now, you see.
It's not only our fears and weaknesses, it's also our greatest desires.
You're right, Barry.
Our minds are being probed like mice.
Lab specimens.
Whoever's running this show obviously doesn't want to kill us... outright, that is.
It would be simple enough.
Just make our little paradise out there disappear.
And now, I ask why.
I can only think of one answer that makes sense.
To find out what makes us tick.
That strange substance, on the mountain, in the pit...
The rat creature seemed to appear just after Karl fired into it.
There could be a connection. There could.
It seemed to withdraw into the mountain.
There must be a passage, a tunnel, or several of them.
The cave.
Exactly. That's where we'll have to go.
But first, I'd like to gather as much information as possible... and I'll see if I can learn anything from that village girl.
We'll need to know as much as we can. Of course.
Paradise Uranus.
Complete with rats, several Eves, and even your apples.
I ask you, Ingrid... who, what is behind it all?
It is only little I know, Eric. Tell me.
It is the power. What power?
There is a being, a lone being on this planet.
Where does it come from? From space and time itself.
It's the mind of this being, its brain.
It can use its brain at nearly full capacity.
Where is this being? Everywhere, in thought.
It took over our minds in the ship, didn't it?
Yes. Why doesn't it do that now?
Conditions are not right.
Out there, your minds were free and light.
The weightlessness.
How do you know all this?
I... just do.
And this being is creating all this?
Then we'd better leave here.
Right now.
It will never let you go alive.
Your courage is great... but I am still here.
I will... destroy you.
We'll have to be back here in one hour and 50 minutes.
Stay together.
Radiation, Karl?
700 roentgens plus, and pulsating.
Temperature?
Minus 37 degrees.
It's getting warmer.
It's just the reflection of my torch.
We've been traveling for almost an hour. Don't you think we should turn back?
We have plenty of oxygen yet.
That blue light seems to pulsate.
The power. The alien being.
Radiation?
750, and pulsating, sir.
The pulsation corresponds exactly to that blue light.
There's the answer.
That brain thing sends out the radiation.
We'll have to destroy it.
Get away from here.
Invaders... of my universe... you are doomed.
Your destiny is to die.
No good. Let's get out of here.
Not that way, over here.
We'll never make it up there before that creature gets here.
We'll have to fight it. How? Nothing stops it.
There's one chance. No time to explain. Do as I do. Spread out.
Aim for the rocks above.
The oxygen.
We've only got one-third left. We better go back.
We'll have to hurry. Come on.
You're bleeding.
My suit. It's torn. I'm losing air.
Come on. Give me a hand. No. Wait.
We've only got a few minutes of air. You'll never make it with me.
We can sure try. No.
I can't stop my air from leaking out.
Come on. No. This is an order. Leave me here.
I won't.
Don, we'll have to stop the bleeding.
Let him bleed. What did you say?
Let him bleed. Remember the temperature here?
The blood will freeze instantly, and seal the tear.
It's working, sir. We'll get you out of here.
Don't be a stubborn fool, Don.
You'll never make it.
Don't talk.
How? They brought you back.
The others? They're all fine.
Lie still.
What's the matter, darling?
I feel restless, uneasy.
You're still a little weak, that's all.
I guess I feel a little guilty, having slept half the day away... when there's so much to be done.
It's more than that. You were unconscious for three days.
Yes, they brought you here more than three days ago.
Where's Karl and Don? Get them.
They're not here.
Not here? Where are they? Probably in the village.
What the devil are they doing in the village?
Have you all lost your minds?
Don, I didn't think you would fall for it.
We all know that nothing in this place is real.
Not one of those girls really exists.
The alien enemy is trying to destroy us with our stupidity and our weaknesses.
But you!
You play right into his hands just the same.
We've still got time, sir.
24 hours... and every hour brings us further and further... from our optimum orbital position.
Soon, we won't have fuel enough to make it back.
We can figure out a way to destroy that thing in the cave.
Fire, sir?
No, Don. There's no oxygen down there, nothing will burn.
An acetylene torch would.
Too small. Wouldn't even give it the hot foot.
Barry's right.
Sir, couldn't we build one? Build a what?
Some sort of modified acetylene torch big enough to do the job.
The lad's got it. How about it?
It can be done. Take a little work. We've got enough of the compound.
But we'll need a booster.
We can draw liquid oxygen from the ship's fuel system.
Make a double wall, dual-type tank to transport it in.
We can work at the blacksmith's shop in the village.
Okay. Let's go.
Sorry, baby, can't talk now. That's not the way it used to be.
I've got more important things to do. Like destroying the alien?
How did you know that?
Really, you are naive, Don.
Come on, darling.
Let's forget all about it. I have a much better idea.
It won't do you any good.
Not you, nor your race on Earth.
What about the Earth? Isn't it rather obvious by now?
Spell it out for me.
The Earth is going to be the new home of this being you find so alien.
The devil it will.
If that thing ever gets on Earth, they'll destroy it.
Will they, Don?
Why are you telling me this?
Who do you think is telling you?
Yes, your planet is rich... warm... filled with life.
I shall go there... in one of your bodies.
Man is weak.
I shall make the terrors... that dwell in his own mind destroy him.
And I shall bring a new race... into being.
Nothing out there, either, sir.
So, it's testing us to see how dangerous we can be.
Okay, we'll show it.
Baby, you better work.
The liquid oxygen tank?
Filled and ready, sir. Good. We'll start at 0600 tomorrow.
We'll mount a guard here through the night. Karl, you take the first tour.
Ursula, you better leave.
You don't want me? I didn't say that.
I've waited for you.
You're not real. Get away.
Not real?
Liebling, how can you say that?
Go back and leave me alone.
You look tired.
No. I won't listen to you.
Come on, darling, sit down.
Just for a while. Come on.
I won't hurt you.
You still have your protection. Come.
I guess I was tired.
I feel much better. I knew you would.
Let's hope this will work. It will.
Just don't connect the liquid oxygen tank until you're ready to use it.
It might blow up in your face.
Okay, we're ready. Let's get going.
I'm leaving you alone here. I'm sure you know why I chose you.
Guess so.
You think I'm the least likely to fall for any of his tricks back here.
It's your show, Karl. You know what to do. We'll back you up.
Get ready. Hook it up.
It's ready, sir. All right, let him have it.
Karl, back!
Buried within it.
We haven't a chance.
Yes, we have. The liquid oxygen.
Don, what's the temperature here?
Minus 10.
I thought so. There's a reason for that thing to be down here.
It's using the volcanic heat of the planet.
The liquid oxygen will freeze the brain substance, make it hard as rock.
Our guns will finish him.
Explorer 12.
Come in, Svend, this is Eric.
Svend here. Yes, Commander?
Prepare for emergency takeoff. Repeat. Prepare for emergency takeoff.
Up there, quick. Ingrid.
I had to see you again.
I must leave this place. Don't leave me here.
All right, Ingrid, we'll try.
Don, give me a hand.
We can't, Eric. Do as I say. We're taking her aboard.
Karl? He's dead.
Let's get out of here.
Rockets on.
Now let's check. Don?
All readings check, sir. Svend, the motors?
Everything in perfect order.

Brett Favre Reveals What Aaron Rodgers Texted Him About His Packers Future
by Bob Garcia IV twitter linkedin on May 6, 2021
The last several days have been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride for the Green Bay Packers regarding Aaron Rodgers' future. The star quarterback expressed a desire for a departure from the franchise. Hall of Famer Brett Favre has now provided another telling wrinkle that may spell trouble ahead in Green Bay.
Aaron Rodgers voices his desire to leave the Packers
RELATED: Aaron Rodgers Dropped a Bombshell About His Future With the Packers
Last week, the drama around Rodgers' future with the Packers took a swift turn south.
Rodgers privately voiced his desire to move on from the Packers. Various other details have emerged, such as his frustration with roster moves along with a potential demand to see general manager Brian Gutekunst step down.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that Rodgers' relationship with the organization became contentious after the team drafted Jordan Love without informing him. Since then, the conversation has remained quite cloudly.
The Packers responded by backing Rodgers as their future under center while voicing that they see the relationship as mendable. However, an all-time franchise great added another intriguing but troubling wrinkle.
Favre said he sent Rodgers a text: "I said, 'Hey, am I going to see you playing for the Saints this year,' just joking.
He said Rodgers replied: "Hey buddy, I don't believe that's going to happen. … Thanks for checking on me. I'll touch base with you after this is all over." https://t.co/hAMbw3isC8

RELATED: Aaron Rodgers Will Be Forced to Sacrifice $23 Million if He Pulls the Ultimate Power Move Against the Packers
In the last several days, many have weighed in on the urgent situation in Green Bay.
Hall of Famer Brett Favre has again chimed in, but this time he provided some telling tidbits of information. During an interview on the Wilde & Tausch show on Wednesday, Favre voiced that he recently exchanged text messages with Rodgers that revealed insight into his mindset.
The retired quarterback said, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN):
"I said, 'Hey, am I going to see you playing for the Saints this year,' just joking.
"He said Rodgers replied: "Hey buddy, I don't believe that's going to happen. … Thanks for checking on me. I'll touch base with you after this is all over."
The current three-time league MVP's comments don't bring forth optimism about him remaining in Green Bay. He may have shot down Favre's remarks about a trade to the New Orleans Saints, but that sentiment seems directed toward the unlikelihood, not his desire to stay in Green Bay.
His text messages confirmed his push for massive change, likely leading to his departure. The onus is now on the Packers to make the next move.
Departure from Green Bay inevitable?
RELATED: Aaron Rodgers May Not Have to Wait Long for a Resolution With His Packers Future
The Packers continue to navigate through the troubling situation.
Green Bay remains firm about keeping Rodgers by both publicly and privately turning down trade talk. The front office wants to present the impression that it has everything under control.
Rodgers holds a strong connection with the fan base, but there is an apparent fractured standing with the franchise. The 37-year-old had never wavered in his desire to play his entire career in Green Bay, but that has finally hit a breaking point.
The front office has left him in a vulnerable spot, not knowing if he's genuinely in the future plans. Rodgers wants to dictate the next chapter of his career, be it with the Packers or another franchise.
All that he knows at this point is that Green Bay could part ways with him before his current contract expires. Meanwhile, management continues its lackluster effort toward adding offensive talent.
Over time, these factors have led him to believe playing elsewhere will provide the resolution he so desperately wants. The Packers know what's at stake, and it's on the organization to resolve everything.

A new outdoor performance space at Polk Bros. Park - known as the city's unofficial front yard - just outside of Chicago's Navy Pier required a stage to withstand the changing midwest weather to provide what Chicago is known for - entertainment. Flyhouse built a grid structure 50 feet wide by 36 feet deep with 28 feet tall towers, allowing the stage grid to have a trim height of 22 feet above the performance stage. The structure also needed to handle 90-mph wind gusts at three-second bursts.

Q: Porque oracle no me devuelve todos los registros cuando hago un select desde c# Estoy haciendo un insert y luego un select con oracleclient en c#. La consulta directa a la base de datos me devuelve esto:

Sin embargo cuando hago el select desde una app windows forms me devuelve lo siguiente:

La consulta no la esta haciendo de sql porque las tablas tienen diferente nombre y en el caso de sql trae los datos bien:

Como ven no me trae las filas que tienen la fecha null en la bd , porque pasa esto?. El código es este:
private async Task cargar(string c)
    {
        string sentencia = "";

        DataTable dt=new DataTable();

        switch (c)
        {
            case "SQL":
                sentencia = "select * from pushes";

The Black Keys Offer Hilarious Career Secrets in Funny or Die 'MasterCourse' Video

The Black Keys lay out pompous career goals, flaunt expensive guitars and teach fans how to achieve a "sultry" bongo tone in their hilarious Funny or Die trailer for a fake musical "MasterCourse."
The clip opens with singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach musing on the more practical rewards of his creative process. "Every song on a record is trying to accomplish something," he says, gently plucking an acoustic guitar. "That song, in particular, was trying to trying to get me a new pool."
Later, the frontman instructs students to take inspiration from their surroundings: "I wrote that song while eating caviar with Michael Jordan in Paris," he says, adding with a grin that the basketball legend "cheats at Blackjack."
Drummer Patrick Carney adopts a quirkier, more self-deprecating persona in the trailer. "I come from a long line of drummers," he says. "And I'm not talking about the Nick Cannon Drumline, although I wish I came from that line too."
Elsewhere, he teases rhythmic mysteries: "A very interesting time signature is 4/7 –– I couldn't tell you much about it beyond that, but it is very interesting." And he reveals a rarely spoken truth of drumming: "It means a lot to be a drummer. One of the things it means is that you're not a good guitar player –– or as good as someone else that you know who's in your band."
The video hypes the band's recently issued ninth LP, "Let's Rock." The duo will promote the album on a North American tour with Modest Mouse that launches September 21st at the Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ten Things You Do Not Need When Camping With Juggalos
by Drew Ailes
Nate "Igor" Smith
Once you arrive at the Gathering, you quickly learn you did not need to bring all that food.
Even as we enter day four of our time here at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, we still haven't yet exactly mastered the art of being productive, functioning people in a kingdom of hedonistic insanity. As we ascend the mountain of madness and slime, more and more things become apparent. For example, a lot of the shit we brought is completely useless here. There are some things that simply do not belong at the Gathering of the Juggalos.
So after compiling a list Friday of the items that you should bring to the Gathering, we used our rapidly deteriorating intellects to put together a list of the opposite: Things you should avoid bringing along when camping with Juggalos.
10. Food
This is a festival, which can only mean one thing: port-a-johns galore. All the crapboxes you've ever wanted to see in your wildest dreams. Defecating in public is intimidating enough for many of us, and in this particular situation, it would probably be best to just not eat for a few days. The toilets here are all strangely lopsided and feel like they're moving when you're in them. The outsides are covered in spray paint and the insides of them are either covered in mud or poop. When the rains come--and boy, do they--one can't help thinking, while wandering the grounds that the entire earth beneath our feet is actually just human waste.

9. Bug Spray
This seems to fly in the face of conventional logic, we know, but other than this weird lump that spontaneously appeared on the back left side of my neck (which could be some sort of inaugural "backne"), there is no evidence that insect life is capable of existing at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Even with sugary Faygo soda sticking to every surface, the noxious environment leaves confusingly few bugs to be found.
8. Skinny Jeans
Interaction 1: "Hey faggot, where did you get them skinny jeans? C'mon, tell me where you got them skinny jeans! Hey, where are you going, skinny jeans?"
Interaction 2: "Yeah, I knew you guys were press when I saw you wearing those black jeans."
Interaction 3: "I usually wear skinny jeans, but I actually went out and bought these baggy pants when I realized I was coming here."
7. Condoms
If you're coherent enough to find the condoms, you're probably clear-headed enough to realize that you should not have sex with the thing you're about to have sex with. Besides, if you decide you really need to get yourself some strange, you can always just use one of the many mud-covered discarded condoms on the ground.
6. Anyone That You Care About
You're going to be drunk. You're going to spend thirty minutes in a bathroom. You're going to get caught up in a conversation with a Juggalo dad selling cigarettes for another thirty minutes. And then you're going to lose track of the people you came with. You have to trust that the Gathering will see whoever you're with to total safety. Which, at this point, is a concept we are no longer 100 percent familiar with.
5. Cell Phones
Your cell phone will not work. There is absolutely no reception out here in the land of the shirtless and careless--it is little more than a glorified flashlight here. If you do happen to bring your phone, you will likely lose it. Personally, I passed out in a field the first night we were here and tried to walk away from my phone while it was laying in a pile of mud. Thankfully, an associate was there to remind me it was something that I might want to use again in life, back in reality.
4. Dogs
It seems that at every outdoor festival, someone is dragging their helpless canine from one dumb corner to the other. While I don't think dogs can be traumatized by seeing a large shirtless man with a skull painted on his chest staring into the sky and holding a power strip plugged into who-knows-what, they can have their ears blown by the phat beatz and skinny dudes with braided pigtails shouting into megaphones. Even worse, you could be the distraught young man we met who was ejected from the festival after his service dog apparently bit the dog of Insane Clown Posse's Shaggy 2 Dope.
3. Spray Paint, Fireworks, and Glass Bottles
These are the only things you will be screened for by security. And sometimes you will have to wait to be searched because the guards are preoccupied by girls taking their tops off, of course. Save time and leave this stuff at home.
A lot of the food here exists in the state fair format--it's on a stick or eaten with your hands. Also, in the event that you disregarded our earlier warning that "eating food equals pooping in this terrifying space" and brought stuff from home, you can still make a PB&J sandwich using the free butcher's knife pendant you got with admission.
1. Drugs
Have we hammered this point home enough, yet? There is a monumental amount of drugs around here. It is akin to being the most attractive person in any room and being offered sex--it seems like every single person around you is propositioning you, and sooner or later, you're going to cave. So unless you're one of the many juggalo entrepreneurs out there, prevent yourself from the Deliverance-style danger of smuggling illicit substances past rural police and just buy everything in sight, on site.

Left hours later, near 5 pm, with his wife, Shannon Tweed, from the White House
By Francesca Chambers, Senior White House Correspondent For Dailymail.com
Legendary rocker Gene Simmons, lead singer for the band Kiss, was on a different kind of tour on Thursday - one that took him to the nation's capital and it's most iconic buildings.
Simmons popped up at the Pentagon, making an appearance in the press briefing room, and the White House.
He declined to say what he was doing at the White House and did not say whether he met with President Donald Trump while he was in the building.
Gene Simmons and his wife Shannon Tweed watch the departure of President Donald Trump on Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House
Tweed is seen taking a photo of her husband at the president's departure. Trump is in New York for fundraisers and is staying overnight in his penthouse
Simmons was apparently on a tour, and it appeared to last several hours. Trump's departure was the grand finale
WHAT? Simmons indicated that he couldn't hear press shouting questions at him after Trump took off in the presidential helicopter
A Reuters reporter shared a photo of Simmons at the Pentagon. He visited the briefing room there before coming over to the White House
Simmons was seemingly on the property for nearly four hours, presumably on a private tour.
Press spotted him entering the White House via the North Portico at 12:30 pm. GloboNews Raquel Krahenbuhl saw him again a few minutes after 4 pm.
She told DailyMail.com she asked him why he was there, and he told her he couldn't say.
After asking where she was from, she said he spoke to her in her native language, Portuguese. He asked her, ' "Hey, what's up?" ' He also posed for a selfie.
Minutes later, he made an appearance at the president's departure from the White House. He stood near the door in the rear building and watched the president fly away in his helicopter.
Trump exited the White House from the outer door of the Oval Office. He walked through the grass, and boarded Marine One without speaking to the press.
Simmons was standing near the South Portico - the door the president and first lady use to greet guests when they arrive via the private drive that runs though the South Lawn of the White House.
The singer was seen with his wife, Shannon Tweed, who laughed and smiled as they watched Trump take off. Simmons did not respond to questions from reporters asking if he met with Trump.

WHO ME? Simmons dodged questions from press who repeatedly inquired about his presence

Reporters spotted Simmons once more when he was leaving the White House.
He introduced Tweed to Scott Thuman of Sinclair Broadcasting Group and graciously posed for additional photos. Thuman told DailyMail.com the rocker greeted him with a fist bump.
Simmons dodged more questions from the press then about his presence after reporters chased him down in front of the West Wing.
It remained unclear on Thursday night whether the couple met with the U.S. president while they were on the property. White House officials were surprised when they heard about his visit from DailyMail.com and were not sure what he was doing there.
Trump's new favorite activity is showing off the Lincoln Bedroom to VIP guests. He's given tours to the Boston Red Sox and the family of a slain police officer in the last week.
The president was headed to Joint Base Andrews for a flight to New York City when he left the White House early Thursday evening. He's fundraising in his hometown and staying the night for the first time since September in his Trump Tower penthouse.
Simmons' political views have ranged over the years from support for the Iraq War to backing Barack Obama's candidacy.
'I'm an American. I want both parties to appeal to me, and then I'll make my educated decision. Sometimes you're right, sometimes I'm wrong,' he told Fox News in 2012.
He recanted his support for Obama in 2011 after the Democrat called on Israel to shrink its borders. In 2012, Simmons said he was supporting Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
He has not voiced support for Trump, but he said when he endorsed Romney, a former Bain Capital principal, that he preferred his business background.
'America should be in business, and it should be run by a businessman,' he said in a 'Fox & Friends' interview.
After asking where she was from, Krahenbuhl said he spoke to her in her native language, Portuguese. He asked her, ' "Hey, what's up?" '
Simmons is seen waving at someone in the White House press office who tapped on the window, according to Sinclair's Scott Thuman
Simmons posed for a photo with Thuman before he left the White House premises
An Israeli-American whose parents immigrated to the country from Hungary, he's a staunch supporter of Israel like the United States president. Simmons' mother survived the Holocaust and an internment camp. He immigrated to the New York with her at age eight.
Trump delivered a speech in the White House Rose Garden laying out his vision for legal immigration on Thursday afternoon. Simmons did not attend the address, even though his appearances on the property before and after indicated he was around for it.
The U.S. president spoke to conservative leaders, his Cabinet and Members of Congress about his desire to cut back on the number of unskilled workers entering the country.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was seen in the press area of the White House after the speech during a private tour of the West Wing.
Asked by DailyMail.com if he saw Simmons, the senator-turned-pundit said, 'I saw him from afar, and that was good enough.'
