'Clueless Gamer' Conan recruits Super Bowl superstars for a different kind of big game
Allegra Frank 3rd Feb 2017
Patriots and Falcons go at it in For Honor … for honor The Super Bowl is this Sunday, Feb. 5, but Conan O'Brien used his talk show to crown a victor a few days early. The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons' skills at For Honor, the upcoming multiplayer action game, may not directly translate to how they'll fare during the big game, but that doesn't stop the self-described "clueless gamer" from handing out a trophy to the best player. The Super Bowl Edition of Clueless Gamer is an annual tradition at this point, and this year big names like Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Marshawn Lynch join O'Brien for this special kind of big game. Although For Honor doesn't share any similarities with football, based on what we see in the video, the Patriots prove that it's yet another game they're especially talented at. It's important to keep in mind that Clueless Gamer is not a prediction of Super Bowl 51.
Still, Brady and the Falcons' Dwight Freeney go directly head-to-head in For Honor, and Brady easily comes away victorious. When extra help arrives — Rob Gronkowski joins Brady, while ex-Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch helps out Freeney — the Patriots again prove that they're pretty hard to beat. Super Bowl 51 kicks off at 6:30 p. m. on Fox this Sunday.

Durham Executions: Revenge on A Blackleg 1883 – Thomas Pyle – Plate-Layer from Ushaw Moor
April 11, 2014 Paul Clough	4 comments
On the evening of Saturday 1 April 1882 Thomas Pyle, a plate-layer from Ushaw Moor, had gone drinking in Durham. He was in such a state of intoxication that he was helped by two young men to walk up Prior's Path. Pyle then lay down at the hedge side and fell asleep. He was seen by quite a few people, as they made their way home, still lying in the same spot at midnight. The following morning Pyle's dead body was discovered at a distance of some thirty yards from where he had been seen sleeping. A post-mortem of the body being carried out at the Durham Infirmary by Dr Jepson and Dr Oliver established that Pyle had been murdered. His left arm was fractured, there was a hole in his wind-pipe and his throat had been crushed almost to a pulp – by a beating.
Although the police conducted many interviews and pieced together the dead man's last movements it was to be more than twelve months before there was an arrest, even though a reward of £200 was offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Pyle's murderer. Peter McDonnell was born in Halifax in 1851 and he and his sister, Mary, when both young, were brought to Durham with their parents. After their father's death their mother married John Bray and the two McDonnell children adopted his surname. Young Peter Bray was always in trouble and was a general nuisance to his neighbours. He was sent to work in a carpet factory but decided he wanted employment in the pits. In 1866, at the age of fifteen, Bray began his criminal career, an assault for which he was imprisoned for seven days.
Then in March 1873 he began a sentence of six months for cutting and wounding.
In 1874 Crossgate Peth (Path) leading from the city of Durham to Brandon and other pit villages, became a black spot for robberies on dark nights, often carried out with brutal violence. Eventually the police managed to arrest five of the perpetrators who were given long sentences of penal servitude and suffered the lash for their crimes. Two others, James Glancey and Bray, managed to escape. Glancey was arrested soon after for another crime and received a life sentence. With the assistance of the police at Newcastle, Bray was eventually arrested at the Castle Garth in 1875. He was sentenced to be incarcerated for seven years — and to be flogged.
Bray was released in the early part of 1881 and went to live at Bearpark and enlisted in the Durham Militia. While undergoing his army training at Hartlepool he received a sentence of seven days, to be spent in Durham gaol, for drunkenness. As Bray left the prison on completion of his sentence, on 6 July 1883, the police were already waiting and arrested him on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Pyle. Bray stood before Justice Day on Friday 2 November 1883 at Durham Assizes, defended by Mr Grainger in what was to be a trial lasting more than ten hours. Although it appeared that there were many people who had known that Bray had done the deed they had all kept silent, some, it was said, through fear of repercussions. There was also the fact that during a miners' strike the people who were detested almost as much as those that had the authority over the mine workers were the scabs or blacklegs who did not give total backing to their work colleagues, so perhaps many thought that Pyle had got what he deserved. Once the police had made extensive enquiries and unravelled the events of that night they summoned many of the witnesses to testify in court.
On the day that the murder had taken place Bray had been drinking with his companions at various public houses. Bray and David Liddell had left Durham at about 11 pm to return to Bearpark which was about three miles away. As they walked up Prior's Peth they saw Pyle lying on the grass in a drunken sleep. It was well known that Pyle worked as a blackleg at Ushaw Moor Colliery where there was a strike taking place at that time. As Bray and Liddell walked on they bumped into a group of their acquaintances and one asked if they had seen Pyle as they passed. Bray said they had and they should go back and 'kill the bastard'. When the group of men realised that his threat was serious they urged him to leave Pyle alone but he would not be swayed. Bray broke a rail from the fence before jumping over it and headed towards the defenceless man. It was a dark night and, although the men standing on the path could not see what was taking place, they heard a cry. Realising that Bray had done something to Pyle, the group hurriedly dispersed.
Bray had then gone to his lodgings telling his landlord 'I have put a blackleg through that night.' A few weeks later he had a conversation with an acquaintance in Durham market place, saying, 'when I first struck Pyle he had shouted but I soon put a stop to that'. The two men who had originally helped Pyle on Prior's Peth testified that he had a parcel with him. The parcel was not there when the body was found. Other witnesses stated that Bray was later in possession of a jacket and shirt that did not belong to him and he was also bragging about having money in his pocket. Bray insisted that he was innocent and that the whole affair was a conspiracy with the witnesses committing perjury. He pointed out that there were many of the mining com-munity who would have been hostile towards Pyle because of his actions.
The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and the death sentence was pronounced with Justice Day adding to his summing up that Bray should not look for a reprieve as one would not be granted. It was reported that, after a life of crime, twenty-seven-year-old Peter Bray confessed his sins, admitted his guilt and went to his death penitent. Precautions had been taken to avoid a repeat of the occurrences that had taken place at the previous execution. Once the white hood was in place Bartholomew Binns placed the knot of the noose at the back of the head instead of to the right and the slack of the rope was tied with a thin thread.
Bray went to his death on Monday 19 November 1883 with hardly a quiver from the rope.

Did you know that your mindset can make or break your chances to overcome binge eating? And if you've been struggling with food for several years, only to grow more worried and desperate, there's a 90% chance that you need a mindset makeover. If you just can't wait to discover how to change your mindset so that you never have to worry about food for the rest of your life, click here now to get a free cheat sheet and an explanatory video on how to do that.
Here's a common scenario: You binge and shortly after that you make promises that you'll start over next week and resolve your eating problem then. Except that it's the 200th time you've told yourself that, and then the next week nothing changes. Or maybe there are moments when you start feeling that you've got this under control. But one single bite snowballs into a series of binges and you're not always sure what started it. Each binge leaves you feeling more powerless and doubtful of you chances to recover.
The most extreme case is when binge eating becomes the norm because you feel it would be too painful to let go of food.
So how do you overcome binge eating permanently, even if you have been addicted to food for decades?
Whenever you are trying to learn a new a skill or build a million dollar business or change a habit, the way you react to setbacks is going to determine your success.
And Richard Branson, the one who created all the Virgin companies (Virgin Airlines, Virgin radio, Virgin Cola, and Virgin mobile) has a lot to teach us in that field.
And failed, he did. Virgin Colas, Virgin Vie, Virgin Brides, Virgin Vodkas, and Virgin Clothings are now all history.
Everybody, and especially every entrepreneur, should embrace failure with open arms. It is only through failure that we learn.
Now that's exciting! But you may be wondering: "what does this have to do with binge eating?" And I'll tell you in a sec.
So, what Sir Richard Branson says is that a setback is just a learning experience. It doesn't define you, it doesn`t tag you as a failure, and it doesn`t predict your future. Even a handicap doesn't mean you can't have what you want in life.
So how does this apply to overcoming binge eating?
Now let me ask you: how do you define success and failure when it comes to eating?
What I often hear is that success means eating a little of everything, even some of the "kryptonite" foods with balance, and maintaining a weight and body you're comfortable in without ever having to worry about food again.
If this seems like an exciting outcome, then read on. Because you're about to discover the one mindset shift that will bring you success.
she is curious about discovering new ways to recover and actively researches them.
she no longer cries or freaks out when she sees that she has gained weight on the scale.
she doesn't bash herself or conclude she's weak or lacks discipline after a binge.
As a result, she is much more relaxed, much more appeased, and her faith in her recovery has soared and is 60-70% superior to most women who contact me.
Who wouldn't want 60% more peace with food on a daily basis? If this is what you have been secretly begging for, hang on. It's coming to you.
Why Having a Fixed Mindset Will Kill Your Chances to Recover in the Nest?
Now that I have been hinting about the qualities of a growth mindset, let me cover the pitfalls associated with a fixed mindset.
The concept of growth mindset was devised by Stanford University psychologist, Carol Dweck, who focused her research on achievement and success. She studied how children reacted in a challenging education environment and discovered the concept of mindset.
If you've read my previous story on How to Stop Binging: The Secret Key to Normal Eating, you know the disastrous effects and some of the roots of this kind of thinking.
I'll let you notice the words "ALL THE TIME" and "NEVER" in Dweck's quote. For the sake of this presentation, I will call this the ALWAYS or NEVER set. ALWAYS or NEVER thoughts are usually accompanied by the ALL or NOTHING idea.
When you think in those terms, your future or outcome is always fixed; It's either or. But progress doesn't matter.
So a fixed mindset thinks in ALWAYS or NEVER and ALL or NOTHING terms.
You enter the NOTHING zone when you're eating is imperfect. NOTHING is eating with no restraint at all. So a fixed mindset makes it easy to rationalize the smallest slice of cake or cookie as a reason to have a full-blown binge.
And because every setback is so detrimental to your sense of self-esteem and self-worth, because of the ALWAYS or NEVER concept, you may feel scared to try anything new or may lose motivation entirely after a few failed attempts.
This mindset can lead to apathy, but also putting yourself under so much pressure that you just want to give up, to shut up this food chatter in your head… and binge to get it over with.
And because your sense of core value can be so easily crushed, any criticism is a threat to your well-being.
You may even fear going out, meeting new people, going on dates, or applying for a challenging job because these situations may lead to the crushing feeling that you will NEVER succeed or that you amount to NOTHING. Because a flick of a switch can destroy your self-esteem.
And instead of rallying a dozen of your friends who eat and look like you would love to and let them become your devoted guides and mentors, you'd rather protect yourself from the shame of feeling inferior to them and keep your eating disorder to yourself.
To me, a fixed-mindset is a sophisticated explanation for perfectionism combined with lack of self-acceptance and self-esteem.
You may have different mindsets for different situations. For example, some people can have a fixed mindset for relationships and a growth mindset for work. Others have a fixed mindset for everything.
How A Growth Mindset Can Help You Overcome Binge Eating and Transform Your Relationship With Food For the Rest of Your Life!
I promised I would tell you how Sir Richard Branson's pearls of wisdom would help you stop binge eating. Now is the time I to tell you how.
When I read his book, Losing My Virginity, I realized this man had the kind of thinking I needed to put in my head to attain my goals. I also felt like I could never be like him.
But now I understand that what he has is a growth mindset and while not everyone can achieve what he has, at least anyone can develop and enjoy the benefits of a growth mindset — including you and me.
How to Discover What Kind of Mindset You Have When it Comes to Food and Eating?
"Use Challenges to Adapt, Revise, and Re-Adjust Your Approach" turns into Use Cravings, Food obsessions, Weight-Gains, and Binges to Adapt, Revise, and Re-adjust Your Approach.
Carol Dweck, adds that people with a growth-mindset love challenges — the bigger the better — persist in the face of adversity, learn from criticism, see effort as a path to mastery, feel inspired by other people's success.
Now I want you to assess your mindset.
You may feel like you have a growth mindset because you have tried several diets or hired a nutritionist. But, to me, trying to fix binge eating by controlling the way you eat is just one approach.
So even if you are a thriving, highly-disciplined, strong-willed woman, what matters is how curious and excited you are to try radically different approaches and how you react to setbacks and challenges.
So what have you tried? Distracting yourself, rebounding, meditating, yoga, therapy? Have you looked for an ideal combination?
How did you assess success? Did you give up easily when it was hard?
How do you feel about yourself after a binge?
What do you think about your future after overeating?
The answer to these questions will tell you in which type of mindset you have.
If you fear your mindset is keeping you stuck, secure yourself a free copy of my plan to overcome binge eating permanently by building a growth mindset so that you fast-forward your recovery days to as little as very short three months and find peace with food without strain or struggle.
But now you may be wondering…. OK. I know I have a mindset problem. How do I change it?
How Do You Change Your Mindset to Permanently Overcome Binge Eating?
The first step is to observe your mindset as it is today.
The second step is to build a safe space for growth.
The third step is to radically change the way you evaluate success.
The fourth step is to build faith in your ability to recover.
The fifth step is removing internal blocks to recovery.
The sixth step is to change what you expect from yourself.
So, if you accept that there are steps, you are OK with making mistakes, you make realistic expectations and adapt and refine your approach along the way, you will overcome binge eating in time. These are the qualities of a growth mindset.
And the framework of a growth mindset is unshakable self-acceptance. If you accept yourself even when you make a mistake, when people around you criticize you, or when they seem more successful than you, then taking on big challenges will not crush your heart. Binges and cravings will become exciting opportunities for learning and self-discovery.
Click here if you want instant access to a cheat sheet with all the steps to build a growth mindset and a video explanation on how to do it to recover from binge eating forever.
It's possible to change any habit gracefully with a growth mindset. It's thoughts with an ALWAYS/NEVER or ALL/NOTHING dichotomy that keeps us afraid of trying new things and tempts us to play it safe with old approaches like dieting even if we are now convinced that they don't work.
To overcome binge eating permanently we need to switch from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset in order to build enough patience, peace of mind, and sustain our motivation and perseverance over time. And the framework of a growth mindset is unconditional self-acceptance.


With any luck some of the terrorists got killed. But probably not.
Andy is my favorite person here. I seem to agree with him all the time, and he is sooo cute.
Or you can click on this link and these people will send a fax in your name to whoever it needs to go to.
Ive never cheated on my boy.......i mean girlfriends. Cant say i havent been tempted, but seeing as how im lazy by nature, cheating would require more work and thinking(which is bad) so i choose the easy route.
It's almost like Johnson Chong on Prozac.
In what way, the way they both cant type in english or that they try very hard to seem witty by not making any sense?
I use the Hercules Game TheaterXP. Its a full multimedia control center in a little box. Great device for outputting stuff from a comp to a home system. Its also great for watching movies from the computer.
Im having a problem getting the 1.4 beta to run under XP. I added the path and claspath variables in the right spot, but everytime i go to compile it says it doesnt recognize javac. But if i put the source file in the /java/bin directory then i can compile and run just fine.
Anyone else had any problems like this? I have no clue what is wrong and its annoying.
Movies that make you go.. huh?
Yeah 69 would have been better but this is the first cool member # ive ever had.
6999. I think thats pretty cool.
Rating functions get old quick. Everyone starts rating everyone else a 1 or whatever the lowest is.
Let's find who's got the most post & who's the oldest(?) registered member of Ranch!
Hey, if it weren't for MD, I'm probably be at 350 or so.
Id probably be at like 20.

This three piece set includes kurta, sharara and dupatta.
Pista green cotton kurta with all over prints and gota detailing and quarter sleeves.
Pista Green cotton checkered sharara with all over gota detailing.
Pista Green cotton checkered dupatta with all over gota detailing and tassels detailing.


I know that the rear brakes are 2 shoe. I am pretty sure that the fronts are also. But I won't be able to verify until tomorrow as I am away from the car now.
I will take the picture tomorrow morning. I will then contact BaT to post it.
The previous owner, who deals mainly in Alfas listed them as Fergat's when I bought the car..
Hi Interested Party. The car and I are close to the San Mateo Bridge. I can make the car available if you give me a few hours notice. Tomorrow until 3 PM should be OK. Friday is hit and miss. And I can arrange to meet on Saturday or Sunday. Send me an email address pr phone number that I can contact.

The term current is defined as a steady flow of water, air or electricity in a particular direction. Whatever form the current takes, it is a fascinating source of energy that supports, yet challenges mankind in multiple ways.
The composition Currents by Robert W. Smith takes its inspiration by the various forms of energy used in the art of music and in music education. Unpredictable, yet constantly flowing, the interacting musical lines of energy provide a unique experience for both performer and listener alike.
Dedicated to Mr. Doug Van Fleet as a gift from the students and parents of the St. Mary School Music Program, Paducah, Kentucky.

The Danica trading system was deployed for the promising 3pm ET time window for the first time on August 6, 2013. This is the same version of the system which currently trades the 9am time window. The same policy of monthly performance reports is being followed for both systems.This is the second monthly performance update for the 3pm system.

Pearson correlation coefficient between the predicted and real logarithmic returns.
strategy P&L in relative units (P&L in the quote units relative to the price quote) as a per-trade average, with an uncertainty estimate.
By construction, the Pearson correlation coefficient is a quantity bounded between -1 (the forecast move and reality are total opposites) and 1 (the forecast is perfect). A success or lack thereof on every trading day makes a contribution to this quantity.
In order to make a large positive contribution, one needs a coincidence of a large move in a currency pair with a large forecast move in the same direction. Since a hypothetic rational operator of the system will not pursue small forecast moves, understanding this to be a noisy system, where a forecast with large magnitude is more likely to result in a successful trade.
Performance for close and not for high and low is of primary importance, since even in random walk, a hypothetic process driven by diffusion, positively correlated forecasts for the extremes can be obtained.
The following charts use colored bars to illustrate performance.

In 2014 I was part of a design team focused on developing a Rocket Stove to share with a community of Maasai in rural Tanzania. As an avid cook I was interested in how the stove might assist the Maasai with their daily cooking, and perhaps also offer a means to roast coffee in a country that was beginning to be well known for its beans. As a result, I began looking to coffee roasting traditions for inspiration, such as wok-roasting found in Southeast Asia, or the ancient coffee ceremony of Ethiopia that seemed so strongly in dialogue with my own life-long investment in Japanese tea ceremony. It had been my hope that upon arrival in Tanzania I would be able to source local beans and roast them for my team and the community we were working with. However, the reality of coffee in Tanzania couldn't have been further from my own preconceptions. Once in Tanzania, I was shocked to find that the only coffee I was able to purchase was a corporate brand of freeze-dried coffee called Africafe. The coffee was less than satisfactory and presented itself as a daily paradox as I drove by countless coffee plantations and trucks stacked with beans. As a result of this direct experience, I was able to understand the complexities of how coffee is valued and used in Tanzania, and how both use and exchange value were radically different from my own privileged American perspective.
In response, There Can Be No Coffee Where It Is Grown is a dialogical project which utilizes the tools, images, and stories of my experience as a means to share with others the complex issues of sustainability and culture embedded within the ritual of consuming coffee.

Both techniques share common effects found in Guan Ware. Both are often called Green Ware, and both vase are attributed to the Song Dynasty. It is notable in that the surface of the Ge Ware vase is decorated in a heavily crackled glaze, randomly crazed by a network of double crackle lines of various colors. The Ge Ware crazing is described as fine golden lines and wide iron wire double crackle. This combination provides the intriguingly beautiful surface appearance common to Ge Ware.

…for our best players. Is the ending to the sentence in the post title.
As I predicted earlier on in the season, many of our players have been subject to bids from bigger and mostly semi-professional teams with their attractive wage paying contracts.
We lost our best centre back, who at 21 years old also had a lot of potential.
…He still could've shown a bit more loyalty after we got his career back on track after he was released.
Unfortunately I don't think these will be the only big names or fan favourites to leave this summer either as there are a huge number of bids in progress on other players. Keep an eye out for further updates….

It's hard to think of a more exciting time than when your boyfriend asks you to marry him and the two of you get engaged. Whether you know from the very beginning of your relationship that things will go in that direction, or whether it took you a little longer than that, you've waited for this day for a while.
Everyone is going to have a different proposal story, and every couple is going to do it in their own way. One thing is certain for sure, though: there comes a point in a relationship when you either get engaged and take the relationship to the next level… Or you realize that things aren't right and that you should call it quits.
Hopefully you get engaged, but if you know that this guy isn't the one for you, it's so much better to move on and look for someone who does love you.
You can tell when a guy is ready to either ask you to marry him or tell you that the relationship isn't working out. Today, our Paoli matchmakers are going to show you the top signs he's about to pop the question.
1. He spends a lot more time texting.
When your boyfriend is getting ready to pop the question, you might find him spending more time on the phone. You might wonder if something is up with him, but it's not what you think because it's not anything bad.
He might be texting friends and family and talking to them about the proposal. He could also be texting his friends, mom, or siblings to let them know what's going on. He might be nervous about how he's going to propose and is looking for ideas and reassurance from those closest to him.
2. You catch him looking at you.
A guy who is about to propose to his girlfriend will be a mess… in a good way, of course. He won't be able to stop thinking about how much he loves you, and how happy you make him feel. You'll most likely catch him looking at you and smiling from ear to ear.
If you ask him why he's looking at you, he might laugh and shrug it off, or say something cute like, "What, I can't look at my own girlfriend?" You might not think much of it since, yeah, he's your boyfriend, but once you realize that he's been thinking about proposing to you, you'll see that this was totally something meaningful. He won't be able to keep his eyes off you because he'll keep thinking about how and when he's going to pop the question.
3. He gets super romantic.
Some guys are hopeless romantics and love showering their girlfriends with gifts and wonderful date nights. Others just aren't that into those things. It doesn't mean they don't love the person they are with, of course. It's just that everyone has their own style.
Whether or not your boyfriend is romantic, you'll most likely notice him getting very romantic when he's about to propose to you. Makes sense, right? He'll be thinking about his future with you and get very excited about his new life.
You might think that he's being weird if he's not normally romantic, so you might actually guess that he might be able to pop the question. And that could work out pretty well for both of you because if you bring it up and ask him if he's going to ask you to marry him, he might not be able to wait anymore and say yes. Then you'll be engaged and can start celebrating.
If after reading this article you realize that your guy is about to propose to you, we send our biggest congrats to you!

Q: Oops, try again. Your function failed on the message yes. It returned 'yes' when it should have returned 'Shutting down' Here is my pyhton practice program:
def shut_down(s):
    return s

    if yes():
        shut_down("Shutting down")
    elif no():
        shut_down("Shutdown aborted")
    else:
        shut_down("Sorry")

the question given to me are:

*

*if the shut_down function receives an s equal to "yes", it should return "Shutting down"

*elif s is equal to "no", then the function should return "Shutdown aborted".

*if shut_down gets anything other than those inputs, the function should return "Sorry"

A: Couple of points:

*

*Misplaced return statement. Should be at end.

*if yes(): It is wrong. You want to compare function input with yes. It should be if s == 'yes':. Same for rest also.

*Since you have written function definition as def shut_down(s):, it is expecting one argument. You should pass one argument while calling this function as shutdown(yes)

*Once you called function and since your function has return statement, it will return some value, which you should catch like ret = shutdown(yes)

def shut_down(s):

    if s == "yes":
        r =  "Shutting down"
    elif s == "no":
        r =  "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        r = "Sorry"
    return r

ret = shut_down("yes")
print (ret)

A: As others pointed out in comments your return should at the logical end of your function.
def shut_down(s):

    if s == "yes":
        r =  "Shutting down"
    elif s == "no":
        r =  "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        r = "Sorry"
     return r

A: something shorter than the best answer:
def shut_down(s):

    if s == "yes":
        return "Shutting down"
    elif s == "no":
        return "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        return "Sorry"

print shut_down("algo")

A: def shut_down(s):
    if s == "Yes":
        return s == "Shutting down"
    elif s == "No":
        return s == "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        return s == "Sorry"

my mother found this at a thrift store.
does anyone have any insight into whether this is real or a fake?
Comments for real or replica?
This jar is likely from the second half of the 20th century (later side), with an apocryphal Qianlong mark for decoration.
Neither a fake nor an antique. Just for decoration.

Q: Calculate $\partial(|z|^2+1)$ and $\bar{\partial}((\bar{z}|z|^2+1) \cdot \sin(z))$ I don't understand this notation.

Calculate $\partial(|z|^2+1)$ and $\bar{\partial}((\bar{z}|z|^2+1)\cdot \sin(z))$

They're asking me to find the derivatives with respect to $z$ and $\bar{z}$ resp.?
In that case, are my solutions correct?

$a)$ $\partial(|z|^2+1)=\partial(\bar{z}z+1)=\bar{z}$
$b)$ $\bar{\partial}((\bar{z}|z|^2+1)\cdot \sin(z))=\bar{\partial}((\bar{z}^2\cdot z+1)\cdot \sin(z))=2\bar{z}z\cdot \sin(z)$

Thanks for your time.


Kellyanne Conway goes head to head with Megyn Kelly and no matter what tactic the Fox anchor tried, Trump's new campaign manager wasn't going to spar!
Donald Trump's new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway sat down for an interview with Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File and the host was at the ready to fire some questions her way. Talk about a woman who operates on an even keel, that's Conway. Even Kelly couldn't get a rise out of her while pushing one question her way over and over again!
Conway said a while back that she has disdain for throwing personal insults at people. Now that Conway represents Trump, Kelly wanted to know how she's dealing with all the personal insults that Trump shoots into the wind? Conway didn't stumble or even need to take a moment to think about how she would answer that.
She made it quite clear to Kelly that Trump only goes after them once they strike first. Kelly asked Conway what she thought about Trump calling Morning Joe co-host "neurotic" and said that was another way of saying she was mentally ill. Again Conway claims Trump doesn't shoot first, so if they want to insult Trump, he comes right back at them.
Kelly then moved on to how Trump has been known to call other female news anchors "crazy." Conway chimed in that if Trump does this, it is "not unprompted." The GOP candidate's new campaign manager went on to say that she is a mom of four young kids so of course she condemns personal attacks.
She told Kelly that if she came to the interview saying anything different than that, then she'd be a hypocrite, reports The Week.
Kelly started her rapid fire of questioning and talked over Conway at a couple of points, interrupting what she was trying to say. Kelly was finally able to reel herself in and give Conway time to breathe. More than likely that is because Conway doesn't appear to be a woman who commits to confrontation while in a conversation and it seems her host realized this!
Conway's demeanor is actually calming and she has a very matter-of-fact conversation mode to her that makes it almost impossible to want to verbally spar with the woman.
You could tell by the tone of Kelly's voice that a sparring round was brewing, but somehow Conway's demeanor pulled the plug on that! Check out the video below to see Kelly attempting to get a sparring session going, but Conway wasn't biting. It happens around the 6:45 mark in the clip.
It looks like Trump has kept to one of the many promises he's made so far and that is to surround himself with experts who know how to get things done. While this promise was intended for the days he'll be occupying the White House, it's not a bad idea to start early and it looks as if he did just that by choosing this very charismatic campaign manager!

Битва за Дьеп, также операция «Раттер» (), позднее — операция «Юбилей» () — морской десант вооружённых сил Великобритании и Канады на французское побережье Ла-Манша и атака на оккупированный немцами порт Дьеп на севере Франции в 1942 году. Целью операции, согласно официальной версии, было завладение и удержание порта Дьеп в течение времени, достаточного для того, чтобы можно было собрать сведения от военнопленных и оценить немецкую реакцию, а также разрушить прибрежные оборонительные сооружения, портовые здания и другие объекты.

В операции участвовали около 6000 пехотинцев, в основном канадцы, при поддержке британского военно-морского флота и военно-воздушных сил.

Высадка началась 19 августа 1942 года в 5 часов утра, а уже к 9 часам командование союзников было вынуждено отдать приказ к отступлению. Операция закончилась быстрым и сокрушительным поражением союзников. Из 6086 высадившихся десантников 3623 были убиты, ранены или захвачены в плен (всего около 60 %). Военно-воздушные силы союзников потерпели неудачу в сражении с воздушными силами немцев и потеряли 106 самолётов; немецкие военно-воздушные силы, по сообщению немцев, потеряли 48 самолётов.

Неудача Дьепской операции повлияла на подготовку союзников к операции «Факел» и операции «Оверлорд».

Предыстория
После эвакуации из Дюнкерка в 1940 году англичане приступили к разработке наступательных операций. Эта работа включала в себя разработку техники и оборудования для морского десантирования и его прикрытия с моря. В конце 1941 года предлагалось высадить 12 дивизий в районе Гавра, что позволило бы несколько ослабить немецкий натиск на Востоке. После вступления США в войну Комитет начальников штабов США на волне оптимистического настроя, подогреваемого настроениями политического руководства США, начал разрабатывать планы открытия фронта боевых действий в Европе, несмотря на скептицизм британцев. В частности, были предложены планы «Облава» (англ. Roundup) и «Кувалда» (англ. Sledgehammer). Первый предполагал полномасштабную высадку 48 дивизий не позднее апреля 1943 года, второй — захват одного из крупных портов (Бреста или Шербура) осенью 1942 года с последующем накоплением войск на плацдарме и прорывом вглубь Франции весной 1943 года. Позднее Операция «Раттер» была представлена как средство изучения проблем, возникающих при захвате морского порта с использованием средств десантирования.

Атака

Начало высадки
Высадка десанта осуществлялась в четырёх зонах на побережье, обозначенных с востока на запад как Синяя, Красная, Белая и Зелёная.  высаживался в Синей зоне. Основные силы, высаживающиеся в Красной и Белой зонах состояли из , , ,  и 14-го Канадского танкового полка.  и  высаживались в Зелёной зоне.

Флот союзников состоял из 8 эсминцев, канонерок, эскортировавших десантные суда, и катеров. Он покинул южное побережье Англии в ночь на 18 августа. Предварительно тральщики разминировали проход в Ла Манше.

Высадка десанта началась 19 августа в 4:50 с атаки на две артиллерийские батареи, находящиеся на флангах основной зоны высадки. Одновременно началась атака на Варенжвиль 4-м батальоном коммандос, Пурвиль — Южным Саскачеванским полком и Личным Королевским полком Камеронских Горцев Канады, Пюа — Королевским канадским полком и Берневаль — 3-м батальоном коммандос.

Нападавшие исходили из того, что немецкие береговые части не ожидают атаки, но, как сообщалось позже, в Пуа и Берневалле в 03:48 была поднята тревога из-за перестрелки, начавшейся в пределах береговой видимости, когда во время следования в направлении Пюи и Берневаля десантные суда и эскорт неожиданно для себя встретили на пути немецкий конвой и должны были вступить с ним в бой. Элемент внезапности был утерян.

В Берневалле только небольшая часть третьего батальона коммандос смогла высадиться и на короткое время вывести батарею из строя, загнав канониров в бункеры снайперским огнём. В Пуа высадка десанта задержалась: войска, понеся тяжёлые потери от пулемётного огня, застряли на береговой полосе. Четвёртый батальон коммандос, не встретив сопротивления, стал единственным подразделением, выполнившим свою задачу — захват береговой батареи Варенжвилля. В Пуарвилле канадцы высадились, также не встретив серьёзного сопротивления, но не в намеченном месте. В результате они опоздали с началом штурма города. В том же самом месте через 30 минут высадился второй канадский батальон. Он начал продвижение вглубь материка, но скоро был оттеснён подоспевшими войсками противника.

В 05:20 начался основной штурм Дьепа подразделениями двух канадских полков, которых поддерживали танки. Высадка происходила под прикрытием дымовой завесы, поставленной английской авиацией.

Пехота высадилась вовремя, однако слабый огонь поддержки показал немцам, что танки запаздывают с высадкой. Первая волна штурма была отбита. Только небольшое количество пехоты и шесть танков достигли города, но они были остановлены завалами на дорогах и подоспевшими частями истребителей танков — артиллеристами из состава немецкой 10-й танковой дивизии. Танки «Черчилль» оказались в безнадёжном положении: они застряли в узких улицах города и, лишённые поддержки пехоты, были встречены сильным противотанковым огнём. В результате прорвавшиеся танки были уничтожены или брошены своими экипажами. Основная часть танков так и не преодолела укреплений береговой полосы и была уничтожена огнём береговой артиллерии и ударами пикирующих бомбардировщиков.

Генерал Робертс отдал приказ к отступлению, и последние участники десанта, так и не успев высадиться, повернули обратно. Общее отступление началось в 11:00 и продолжалось под сильным огнём противника до 14:00.

Все время операции над зоной высадки велись воздушные бои с участием 945 самолётов с обеих сторон. Потери англичан составили 106 самолётов (555 пилотов убитыми и ранеными). Люфтваффе, как выяснилось, потеряло всего 48 самолётов.

Последствия
Из 4963 канадских пехотинцев 3367 были убиты или захвачены в плен. Британские коммандос потеряли 275 человек. Английский флот потерял один эсминец, 33 десантные баржи и 550 человек.

Немцы же потеряли, как выяснилось позже, всего 561 человека убитыми и ранеными.

Некоторые западные историки считают эту операцию прологом к «Оверлорду».

Уцелевшие участники операции привлекались к подготовке последующих морских десантов союзников.

Michael Leonard Engwell (born 27 September 1966) is a former English footballer who played as a defender and a forward.

Career
Engwell began his career at Southend United, progressing through the club's academy. Engwell made nine Football League appearances for the club, scoring three times before moving onto Crewe Alexandra in 1986. At Crewe, Engwell made two league appearances, departing the club at the end of the season, subsequently signing for Chelmsford City.

Following a spell at Chelmsford, Engwell played for Barking, Harrow Borough, Enfield and Grays Athletic, before signing for Yeovil Town in 1995, reuniting with former Enfield manager Graham Roberts. At Yeovil, Engwell made 114 appearances in all competitions over the course of three seasons, helping the club gain promotion back to the Conference in the 1996–97 season. In March 1998, Roberts signed Engwell for Chesham United following his appointment. In November 1998, Engwell once again followed Roberts, signing for Slough Town, making 61 appearances during his time at the club. In 2000, Engwell signed for Hertford Town following the appointment of Roberts.

In February 2001, following a short spell at Purfleet, Engwell signed for Boreham Wood, again under Roberts' tutelage. In November 2001, Engwell was named joint caretaker manager of Boreham Wood alongside Lee Harvey, following the departure of Tommy Sampson, taking up the role permanently in time for the 2002–03 Isthmian League season.

You didn't see Spain if you didn't see Flamenco. But not that Flamenco danced for tourists! You should see real Flamenco in Barcelona which is danced in basements and small stuffy rooms. Natives know such places, so do we. But first, let's have a short but interesting walk around del Raval.
Del Raval is a district of contrasts, especially now when the local government began to renew it. Most tourist guides say it is a dangerous place but it is really worth seeing because it is the only place you can see the contrast of times and intertwining of ages. Mixture of wooden houses, ancient ruins and modern buildings – this is del Raval.
You can find all you want in Raval: theatres, art galleries, shops, second hands, bars, cafes, restaurants, hotels, woman of easy virtue, and real Flamenco.
We will tell you the history of del Raval, show its most beautiful places, and see most beautiful views, and then we go down to the basement to see and maybe dance that Flamenco the natives adore.


The PlayStation Store redesign will be going live across Europe today, the goal being to provide a cleaner and more intuitive interface for users to browse and buy content.
Essentially, the redesign falls in line with what Microsoft has done with the Xbox 360's dashboard. Panels on the PS Store will display new and featured content immediately on arrival, and image quality is supposedly sharper to fall closer in the line with the "HD experience" players expect from their PS3's.
More details on the each and every change can be found on this lengthy blog post by the EU PS blog.


It's got nothing to do with size of the dongle or weight of the iPad or the price of tea in china. Either the "NASA Scientist" mentioned is misquoted or is confused about the function of the device (i.e. thinks it's a battery backup like a juicepack), both equally likely.
The USB spec (old as sin, every computer made since 2000 or before knows this part) says that a device can have 100mA, period. These days, that's nothing. Things will charge from it, but slow as syrup. And they won't say they're charging. It also says, 'if you want more, ask.' That is, use the USB data lines to request a greater current. If the USB host says "ok," you can draw a maximum of 500mA. Again, every computer since time supports this half amp.
But that's still not all that much when you consider an iPad, with its huge battery capacity. So if the iPad gets here, it tells you "sorry, not charging [fast]" (I added the 'fast' part, that's what it means). If it can negotiate for an amp or more, as can be provided by lots of modern computers, and all modern macs, perfect. Charging at 1A/5V is 5W which theoretically means around a 5 hour full charge. Awesome. Given how batteries charge, it's probably more like 3/2 that time, but whatever. And if it can negotiate 1.5A, even better still.
But what if it's not plugged into a DATA port, but just a dumb provider of 5V, like a wall socket?
Technically, in order to obey the USB spec, if it didn't negotiate for > 100mA, it can't have >100mA If it tries to draw more than 100mA and it's attached to a USB port with a power supply line that legitimately can't provide it, the result is a drop in voltage on the line, and bad things happen. Maybe it's connected to a 5V supply that can handle 40930485 amps, it doesn't matter. It's just not allowed.
Of course, most things can supply at least 500mA, and to be sure, lots do regardless of negotiation. If I plug a dumb little USB fan or whatever else into my computer, it may use more than 100mA. Technically it's not within the USB spec in this case, but whatever. So basically, you're safe drawing up to 500mA from a USB port without asking, although you probably won't get USB certification.
But of course, with a dumb charger, if you want to be within spec, you can't just *go* and draw what you like. There has to be some other methodology. iDevices for a long time have employed resistors on the data(+) and data(-) lines of the USB port to handle this. LadyAda tore apart a few chargers to figure this out, and she found something like this: if you want the iDevice to take 500mA, hold data+ at ~2.8v and data- at ~2.0v . edit: sorry, I didn't read the LadyAda page well enough, 2.8/2.0 is 1A, and 2.0/2.0 is 500mA. If you want it to charge at 1A, do something similar but with different values.
And something like that is going on here. It could be one of two different things. It's definitely safe to say that on the male USB plug, only V+ and GND are attached. That way there's no data negotiation at all. On the female side, it's possible that resistors are in place as in the paragraph above to tell the iDevice "I'm a dumb charger, draw 500mA." Although I lean away from that conclusion, since I BET that in such a case, the iDevice would still warn about too little current to charge. The other option is that, as per the Charging spec, the lines are shorted together. That'd technically tell the device "draw whatever," but I THINK that iDevices only draw 500mA in this case, which like I said is generally safe. And it could be that the iPad draws an amp, and the dongle just hopes that most users' computers will be able to handle it.
The dongle is not magic! It doesn't make power out of nowhere. It doesn't matter that it's small and light, or that the iPad is big and not. The takeaway here is that the dongle skirts the letter of USB law to say "computer, give me all you've got, whether you like it or not" and to tell the iPad "here's all the power you desire!" Maybe it works across the board, maybe not, but I'll definitely tell you I won't buy one. I'm 100% positive that if I stick that thing in my late 2008 MBP (with its 500mA max of usb current, yes, I tested the hard way), I'm DEFINITELY getting an overcurrent USB warning. And if I don't, the thing's not helping anyway.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, but it's worth doing so, you can't simply tell the device "you have an amp" if you don't, in fact, have an amp to back it up. It won't just fall back to 500mA, that's not how Ohm's Law (v=ir) works. If the device tries to draw an amp, one of two things NECESSARILY happens. Either the computer CAN support the draw, but doesn't SAY so (in which case, there's certainly good reason it doesn't say so, and good reason you shouldn't be drawing an amp), or the computer CAN'T support the draw, and the USB bus fires an overcurrent warning and the power rail is shut down. And no charging at all takes place. In no case is it a good plan.
UPDATE: For shiggles, I did some quick testing with my USB breakout cable. As per LadyAda's findings, my iPhone 4 with a nearly-full battery draws around 575mA from it's in-package wall charger, stock configuration. Stock configuration has data+ at 2.8 and data- at 2.0, which is what you'd expect from a charger UL rated for 1A supply. Similarly, when I disconnect the charger's data lines entirely, and instead show the phone 2.0v/2.0v, I measure a draw of around 510mA. Again, that's what I'd expect. I'd also expect to see that, charging full swing, it draws more connected to 2.8/2.0, but I'll have to wait until I have a low battery to test.
2. I'm very pleased to read an article with some actual groundwork, research and therefore credibility in alex's article above.
Quite frankly if someone takes it upon themselves to spout their observances out to the world, they should at least ensure that what they're spouting is something that either genuinely informs us or saves us from doing the research ourselves, or both, as opposed to idle speculation.
Good one Alex – thank you. Perhaps TUAW should give you a job instead.
Bahaha, thanks! Better comment than I was expecting for a rant post. Queue the torrent of flames now.
Thank you Alex for adding some engineering to this mess!
You couldn't measure both. Measuring impedance would require applying a voltage, which would kill whatever voltage you tried to read.
theres no reason you couldnt measure both voltage and impedance. Just be smart about where you are taking the voltage measurement from.
If I have a simple two terminal black box, there's no way to measure both a voltage that it's generating and it's internal resistance at the same time. Doing the latter requires applying a voltage, or at least applying a current source. You can't do both at once. The best you can do is to switch between measurements so rapidly it seems like they happen at the same time, and the faster you switch, the more battery you burn.
Nice! Just discovered this. Good job, Alex, as always.


No More Itchies: Who is this Dr. Aron?
I first heard about Dr. Richard Aron on the Facebook group Eczema Parents. Like any parent who has been around the eczema block, I was very skeptical at first. We've all heard of plenty of miracle lotions and diets. None of them have helped. And these parents on FB were saying they had paid an overseas doctor online for a consultation? It honestly sounded like a scam.
Over time though, I saw the same parents continuing to share their experiences with Dr. Aron's method and these parents didn't seem to be crazy. None of them seemed to think it was shady. So I joined the FB group for his patients and just listened in for a while. I was still worried I would find out that most of his patients regressed or had to keep using the cream every day for life.
What I discovered was just the opposite.
Post after post of children whose itch disappeared within days. Children who had started using the cream years ago and now only used it at a twice weekly maintenance dose or only for occasional flares.
In fact, several of his patients had been to National Jewish Hospital, the other treatment we were considering. Despite getting some relief, they were having trouble tapering the steroids and/or the itch never went away.
The idea behind Dr. Aron's approach is simple: most treatments don't address the fact that 90% of eczema patients have staph colonized on their skin. This is what causes the crazy itch that persists even when the skin is clear. Why even when the skin is cleared for a while, the rash always comes back, often followed by skin that turns red and burns. It's a completely different, but very reasonable, explanation for Red Skin Syndrome or Topical Steroid Withdrawal.
He prescribes a cream like Vanicream or Cetaphil (or others for patients in other countries depending on what's available) and has it compounded with a steroid cream and antibiotic. His prescriptions are tailored to the age, weight, and severity of the patient. At first, he prescribes anywhere from 4-6 applications a day. He has his patients update him regularly over email and helps them gradually taper off the application so there are no rebound flares from stopping the steroid abruptly or the staph coming back.
The only catch was that we had to get our pediatrician on board to rewrite the prescription for us since the pharmacy will only take a prescription from a US doctor. The process is different depending on which country the patient is in, but he works with people all over the world. From what I read on the FB group, some doctors are very resistant to the idea and some are perfectly fine with it.
The idea of having this conversation with our pediatrician made me really nervous, so I kept putting off the idea of consulting Dr. Aron. My only regret, as so many of his patients have said, is that I didn't do it sooner.

GateWorld Forum > Stargate Atlantis > SGA General Discussion > Dr Weir being played by some different than in SG-1 7 finale
View Full Version : Dr Weir being played by some different than in SG-1 7 finale
ONeill_38
Does anyone know why the changed actresses for Dr Weir?
LateFan
Have no idea. I've checked some fan sites and what not and unable to find the reason behind the recasting. Saw some mention of the TPTB wanted an older or younger looking Weir but nothing official.
Ok, thanks. I could not find anything either. At first i thought she just died her hair, but then sawe it was someone totally different. Thanks for the reply since that was my first post.
I think it was due to Jessica Steen not wanting to carry on playing the same character in a spin-off which is practically foreshadowed in becoming a hit which will last at least a couple of seasons. I mean they hadn't even decided on the characters yet fully while the season 7 finale was even filmed. And if they had been I doubt Jessica Steen did know otherwise she wouldn't even of done it. *shrugs* Well that's what I think anyway...
here's something... she probably got canned and they kept it quiet.
As Gateworld.com reported on November 21, the actress who portrayed Dr. Weir in "Stargate: SG-1," Jessica Steen, will not appear on the series. While erring in saying that "reasons for the producers' decision not to include her character in Atlantis are unknown," the character will indeed be on the series – albeit with a different actress – according to casting documents obtained by FilmJerk.com.
Kill_Baal vo.1
Its ok with me. Jessica Steen (and not saying she is a bad actor or anything) did a horrible job playing this roll (IMO). I just got that "Dumb Blonde" Sense with her in the roll - I cant explain it, but that feeling is just there.
The folks over on the official Jessica Steen fansite seemed absolutely stunned at the recasting and I find it impossible to believe that Jessica simply "didn't know" that her character might be spun off. I mean, come on, she isn't REALLY a "dumb blonde" and I'm pretty sure that Dr. Weir was introduced in SG-1 for the specific purpose of being spun off to Atlantis.
Beyond that, I'm not going to make any speculations as to the reason why. I'm very disappointed and I personally find it a very disquieting sign, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
I mean, come on, she isn't REALLY a "dumb blonde"
I never said she was - I said I thought she played one. There were 5000 other people that could of done that role better then her. I can already see from the Atlantis perviews that Torri Higginson is going to portray the role better.
I realize you didn't say that. My point is that she isn't stupid enough to accept a role that she KNOWS is going to be spun off if she dosn't want to be part of the spinoff. It was implied that she might not have known that.
As for Tori Higginson, it's your opinion that she'll be better than Jessica Steen, it isn't a fact and for me, I'll wait and reserve judgement until I actually see for myself, rather than judging based on a couple of screencaps.
Of course, I'm perfectly happy to judge the uniforms based on the promo pics, but that's different. ;)
KorbenDirewolf
It could be that Steen was cast for the role when "The Lost City" was planned as a movie and had a contract for just that..
But the character was still, as far as I know, intended for the spinoff.
True. Just some speculation on my part.
Well, I was a bit warry of Torri first (Those promo photos make her look like a skeleton :P), but she seems great in the ads for Atlantis....
I really liked Jessica Steen as Dr Weir in SG1 S7,but I'm looking forward to SG Atlantis,regardless!
I intend to give Torri Higginson a fair viewing on her own merit,and see what she does with the role,as any dropping of JS wasn't up to her, but rather a decision made by the Atlantis PTB.
No idea why these changes,but I suppose they had their reasons.We'll probably never really find out exactly why,though!
Jessica was cast in "Lost City" with the understanding that the producers were planning to spin off the character into Atlantis. She had an extended contract up until a few weeks before Atlantis started filming, so that she didn't get scooped up by another job.
Ultimately, the producers decided to keep the character but recast the role. Jessica's contract expired, and hopefully she's off getting lots of great work. :) It's the entertainment biz, and I don't get the impression there were any hurt feelings. It's just how things work.
Having met Torri and become somewhat infatuated with her (in a very Amanda Tapping sort of way), I think she's going to be a terrific Dr. Weir!
You've got a thing for older women, eh? (Meh, what am I saying, I think she's hot! :P)
Offer her a cool drink then,Teal'c!
That should cool her down a treat... ;)
Hatusu
I was told that they never told Jessica Steen the reason behind their decision. I found her to be professional and nice. I did think she looked too young for all the character's accomplishments. But then Torri looks very young, too. I personally think Steen refused to wear those 5 inch heels they gave her, ever again! Maybe it's a simple as getting the right mix,... you know cast chemistry.
USS Thunderchild
I loved Steen in Earth 2, way back in the day. I really hate it when they go and switch actors up on you in the middle of a show...like they always do with main characters kids.
The problem with Steen is that she doesn't really have that command aura like Mulgrew did in VOY. As much as it hurts to say it, I don't think she would have been good for the part, in terms of launching a series.
Yes, that's true. She was very good as a physician. She was also very good at playing a Guantanamo Bay investigator on that spin-off of "Jag". I think the show is called "Navy CIS"
Hi George! (He told me to watch it & I know he visits here.)

As I have said before in these forums... The fact is that Jessica Steen signed up for the role of Dr. Weir knowing that it might lead to her working in the spinoff series. So she was more than ready to do Atlantis, but they decided not to go with her for whatever reason (she wasn't told). Jessica told me she played the character the way she did because she didn't want to have to go through a series playing some ultra serious character (like she did on Earth 2 and other dramas). I think she wanted Weir to be a little quirky. They apparently let her create the character the way she wanted to. If they had a problem with what she was doing they could have asked her to change it I am sure.
In any case it doesn't matter any more and Jessica has moved on. She just got done shooting a movie in Vancouver with Wesley Snipes called "Chaos" and she will be on NAVY NCIS (for the 3rd time) this Tuesday May 25th.

*sniff* *******s...Jessica is a waay better actress than the person they've got now to play Weir...
I'd suggest you wait and see Torri as Dr. Weir before making a judgment like that. Only seven weeks to go!
That's an extremly unfair comment. In fact, I think Corin Nemec is better than Michael Shanks (see how you like it now! :P)
Well of course, that is my opinion and that is yours :p
Personally I actually thought the actress from the Season 7 finale did an incredible job and am disappointed that she won't be back to continue the role during the show, but at least I know that Torri Higginson is great too.
Even though I'm a bit iffy with this whole actress change...I was looking at a picture of Torri the other day and except for the hair, I really do think TPTB have really picked a good look-a-like. That's the only think I like about the whole thing. Sometimes they pick someone who looks totally different to the orginal person who played that character. Take Michale Gambon who will be playing Dumbledore in the Prisoner of Azkaban, he looks totally different to the other guy who played him in the previous two films.

As Dumbledore, I think they look almost exactly alike. Voice is different, but what can you do?
Well what happened in Harry Potter was unfortunate...but I still don't see why TPTB wanted to change the actress for, when they didn't need to, Jessica was doing a wicked job...how stupid they can be sometimes. :rolleyes:

All this discussion about the evil PTB and blah, i just skipped many of the discussion, reason, and etc. So does anyone really know why they replaced her? Or did she simply not want the role anymore?
As stated in a earlier post, she was ready to start filming for Atlantis when MGM decided they didn't want her
I think it's stupid really. The woman they have now looks nothing remotley like her

I enjoyed her performance in Lost City. However, a friend of mine (who knew nothing of any behind-the-scenes stuff or that the character would appear in Atlantis) felt she was a "dumb blonde".
So maybe there is something to that... Maybe she does come across as a dumb blonde to some people, for some odd reason.
Well I suppose Jessica could of dyed her hair, if TPTB had asked her.
Dumb blonde? I wouldn't have thought that that would be the reason. If it was she could have dyed her hair. Besides, look at Carter, she's a blonde

I enjoyed Jessica Steen as Dr.Weir and thought she did a fabulous job. Her acting threw a little dose of reality back into the show and you got a feeling of what the SGC is like from the outside. I didn't know her character was to be included in Atlantis but it's sad to see she will not be the one playing that role. To be honest though, I can't really see her going off world or into battle or anything, only playing a "General hammond" role where she stays in the command center all day.
As for "dumb blonde" how would you feel if you just found out about the SGC let alone put in charge of it?

I think it's the "dumb" part that would be the problem, not the actual hair color...
Note that I don't think she comes across as dumb. Some people do. But personally, I doubt very much that this is the reason for her being replaced.
Jessica's hair isn't normally blond anyway :P
I can't say I enjoyed Jessica Steen portraying this Dr. Weir character either... something didn't feel right about it to me, although I must see Atlantis to make a more informed comparison. This isn't a reflection on the part of the actress, but the character -- who I found VERY unlikeable like Kinsey (I'm sure Ronnie Cox is a nice guy in real life but I find Kinsey downright despicable). Part of my strong dislike has to do with the fact that General Hammond, who I like a lot, got pushed over to make room for her... obviously planned to lead into the spin-off, but still :P
I like some quirky characters a whole lot but I just found Dr. Weir to be cut-and-paste and rather banal in my experience of having watched numerous "genius" characters on television. I like Sam Carter more as a blonde genius :) Sam Carter has both book smarts and street smarts... whether Dr. Weir does has yet to be seen.
Again, these are my impressions based on the characters and not the real people playing them.
Teal'c is correct. Jessica Steen's hair is not normally blonde. It is brown

I never liked that broad so this is a good thing. :)

Bucs Fit T Cherilus On Camp Roster
The Buccaneers have officially completed the signing of offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus, releasing TE/FB Evan Rodriguez.
Senior Writer/Editor
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms with veteran offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus on Monday, a move meant to add depth and NFL starting experience after the knee injury suffered by Demar Dotson. On Tuesday, the team officially completed the transaction, which required an accompanying move to keep the training camp roster at the 90-man limit.
As such, the team has released third-year tight end/fullback Evan Rodriguez. Rodriguez played in one game for the Buccaneers in 2014 after a December promotion from the practice squad. He originally joined the team's practice squad in November after previously seeing action with Chicago in 2012 and Buffalo in 2013.
Though he has NFL experience at both tight end and fullback, the Buccaneers were primarily using Rodriguez at the latter position. The team drafted fullback Joey Iosefa in May and returns last year's starter at the position, Jorvorskie Lane. Bigger backs Mike James and Dominique Brown could also possibly be used as lead blockers.
Cherilus (pronounced SHARE-uh-luss) has played in 104 NFL games with 100 starts over seven NFL seasons. The Buccaneers signed him just days after Dotson went down with an injury in the preseason opener that will keep him out for an indeterminate amount of time.
"[The move was] very important," said Head Coach Lovie Smith. "We have a very good tackle that is down – veteran tackle that is down for a while. I feel like we need to replace him. It was good for us that there was a player like [Cherilus] … available."
The addition of Cherilus and subtraction of Rodriguez led to some shuffling of numbers on the Bucs' roster. Cherilus will wear #78, the same number he donned for the past two seasons in Indianapolis. Tackle Edawn Coughman will move from #78 to #75. And tight end Tim Wright, who wore #81 in his first stint with the Buccaneers, will assume that number again after initially taking #85 upon his return this summer.
