Arthur W. Pink has become known as a masterful expositor of the Word of God. Both his expository works and some of his doctrinal works have long been in print. His deep concern for experimental Christianity and the practical Christian life, however, is not so well known. Yet he wrote many short series and single articles on what Scripture has to say about the inner man. And in writing these articles Pink expounded the Scriptures as penetratingly as he did in his expository and doctrinal writings.
We may add that Pink's concern for practical Christianity grew over the years. Pink was strong on exposition and doctrine; but, of course, these are a foundation for practice. Pink put it this way, in his introduction to The Doctrine of Mortification: "It is the studied judgment of this writer, and he is by no means alone therein, that doctrinal preaching is the most pressing need of the churches today." "Doctrinal preaching is designed to enlighten the understanding, to instruct the mind, to inform the judgment. It is that which supplies motives to gratitude and furnishes incentives to good works." "Doctrinal Christianity is both the ground and the motive of practical Christianity, for it is principle and not emotion or impulse which is the dynamic of the spiritual life." But doctrine, unless reduced to practice, is of no avail. Pink wrote, "There is no doctrine revealed in Scripture for a merely speculative knowledge, but all is to exert a powerful influence upon conduct. God's design in all that He has revealed to us is to the purifying of our affections and the transforming of our characters."
For thirty years Pink put Out a monthly publication, Studies in the Scriptures, mainly from his own pen. It is from this that most of his published works were taken. He would write an article each month on a given topic, continuing until he had exhausted the meaning of that particular topic. Several such series were kept going at once, in addition to individual articles and study notes.

Со́лнечная дина́стия, или Сурьява́мша (, ), — полумифическая древнеиндийская царская династия , наряду с Лунной династией ( = Чандрава́мша). Согласно пураническим повествованиям, основателем династии был Икхшваку, царствовавшей в начале второй юги в Айодхье. Икхшваку был сыном Ману Вайвасвата, отцом которого являлось само Солнце — Вивасват.

От Солнечной династии ведут своё начало и некоторые современные княжеские роды Индии. Из 100 сыновей Икхшваку старший, Викукши, основал Солнечную династию Айодхьи, а другой сын, Ними — вторую ветвь Солнечной династии, царствовавшую в Митхиле. «Вишну-пурана» даёт полный перечень властителей, принадлежавших этим двум ветвям Солнечной династии. К первой из этих ветвей (ветви Айодхьи) принадлежал и излюбленный индийский герой Рама. Довольно много раджпутских родов ведут своё начало от Солнечной династии.

Введение

«Сурьяваншья» (, ) обозначает человека, принадлежащего к этой династии. Этот род является старейшим и наибольшим кшатрийским родом Индии, который также известен под многочисленными синонимами — Адитьявамша (), Митравамша (), Аркавамша (), Равивамша () и так далее. Ранние цари Солнечной династии почитали бога Солнца (Сурья, Адитья, Арка) как своё родовое божество и поэтому в основном практиковали поклонение Солнцу.

Считается, что основатель рода, Вивасван или Вайвасвата Ману, также известный как Арка-таная (अर्क तनय, «сын Арки (Сурьи)»), жил с самого возникновения мира. Имя Вивасван буквально значит «сияющий», это солнце или бог солнца. Первым царём этой династии был внук Вивасвана по имени Икшваку, поэтому династия также известна как династия Икшваку, или Айкшваку (в основном этот термин применяется к династии из Айодхьи). Непосредственная родословная Икшваку выглядит так: Брахма → Маричи → Кашьяпа → Вивасван → Вайвасвата Ману → Икшваку.

Солнечная династия особенно ассоциируется с Рамой, царём Айодхьи, чья история изложена в «Рамаяне». Рама был законным наследником согласно праву первородства, но, так как его отец дал слово своей второй жене, Кайкейи, отправить Раму в изгнание в леса на 14 лет и возвести её сына на его место, Рама был отстранён от правления. Тем не менее сын Кайкейи Бхарата так и не заполучил трона, а правил как регент, пока Рама не вернулся из изгнания.

Важным царём Айодхьи был также Брихадбала, который убил Абхиманью в битве на Курукшетре. Последним правящим царём из этой династии в Айодхье был Сумитра в IV веке до н. э., который после завоевания Айодхьи правителем Махападмой Нандой из династии Нанда (Магадха) стал править в Рохтасе.

Как было предписано Ману, цари Солнечной династии наследовали титул по праву первородства. Только старший отпрыск царя мог взойти после него на трон. Младшие сыновья царей из этой династии также дали миру много знаменитых кшатриев и вайшьев, которые тем не менее не включаются в список правителей Солнечной династии.

Генеалогия

Тринадцать пуран дают более или менее полный список царей из этой династии. Дважды список царей приведён в «Рамаяне» (Рам I, 70, 21—44; II, 110, 6—35). В «Махабхарате» содержатся только различные отрывочные упоминания, рассеянные по всему тексту. «Рагхуванша» Калидасы также приводит несколько имён царей Солнечной династии — от Дилипы II до Агниварны.

Различия между данными пуран и «Рамаяны» Вальмики

«Рамаяна» и пуранические списки имеют много важных различий. Вот список основных из них:

 «Рамаяна» упоминает только 36 царей от Вайвасваты Ману до Рамы, тогда как пураны упоминают 63 царя за тот же период времени.
 «Рамаяна» пропускает имена многих царей, которые в ведийской литературе (Харишчандра и Рохита) и «Махабхарате» (Пурукутса и Трасадасью) значатся как цари Солнечной династии.
 «Рамаяна» содержит имена нескольких царей, которые не принадлежат к династии согласно пуранам (Кукши).
 «Рамаяна» включает в список некоторых царей как предков Рамы, но в пуранических списках они упомянуты как потомки Рамы. Это цари Шанкхана, Дхрувасандхи, Сусандхи.
 Порядок царей в списках «Рамаяны» отличается от порядка в списках пуран.
Поэтому ряд учёных признаёт бо́льшую достоверность пуранической генеалогии царей.

Список правителей по пуранам

Далее идёт в хронологическом порядке список правителей Солнечной династии согласно пуранам:

 Икшваку — это первый знаменитый царь этой династии, давший ей другое название — династия Икшваку.
 Викукши — известен также как Шашада («поедатель зайцев»), за то, что съел кролика во время шраддхи. Некоторые записи называют его внуком Икшваку.

Династия Видеха

Вышеприведённый список царей, начиная от Викукши, относится к основной ветви Солнечной династии, которая правила в Айодхье. Но существует и другая ветвь династии, ведущая происхождение от второго сына Икшваку по имени Ними (Неми) и правившая в Митхиле. Часто она носит название династии Видеха, по второму имени её первого царя Ними. Списки царей этой династии содержат «Рамаяна» (Рам I, 71, 3—20) и пять пуран — «Брахманда-пурана», «Ваю-пурана», «Вишну-пурана», «Гаруда-пурана» и «Бхагавата-пурана».

Q: Copy Data From ODBC Connection To Local Database I would like to create a cached copy of the tables from a ODBC connected database on our MS SQL server. We are currently connecting to the ODBC connection directly from a few excel sheets and running the query's. They take about 1 - 2 minutes to complete and when being run several times a day that can add up quick. So to try and solve this I copied a couple tables from the ODBC connection and ran a query and it took about 11 seconds. I would like to create a copy of the tables and update them every hour or so. But I only want to update the tables and rows that changed to try and keep server load down. I would like to do this as a stored procedure. I am not very good with SQL and was wondering if there was a semi simple way to do this

A: You can write a stored procedure that runs your query and just modify it slightly to output to a physical table.
For example:
select a.FirstName, a.LastName, b.City, b.State, b.zip into _temp_report
from customers a join addresses b on a.customer_id = b.customer_id

In the example above, the into _temp_report part is the important part. It will create a new physical table with the results of your query.
Then you can simply point the reports to that table.
You can use SQL Server Agent to create a job that runs the stored procedure on a schedule.
You'll obviously need to add some logic to remove the _temp_report table on each run of the stored procedure so you don't try to re-create it each time the job runs.

As an English Literature major with plans for pursuing further education in film studies, Hayden Dutschke is often distinguished by his filmmaker's look: a jaunty beret above piercing eyes, a focus that sometimes suggests he sees the world in frames. Dressed in grey slacks and a tight black shirt, he tells me that he has always pictured himself growing up to be "some sort of an underground cult icon—like the 1977 punk rock heroes Patti Smith and Tom Verlaine." He adores their ability to sustain creative passion in a time of social upheaval, he says, and even of chaos.
Hayden cherishes the "unexpected"—especially in corners of small towns like Anderson and Central, South Carolina, where he has spent the majority of his life. The incongruity of a thriving record store in unassuming Seneca, South Carolina prompts him to ask, "Why? How is this place still here?" But then he enters and buys another record to add to his collection, a collection crowned by his black Mitsubishi record player with the silver tone arm.
In this year's edition of the journal, his poems "Puddle Pirates" and "Life Expectancy of a Downtown" showcase the source of his creativity in childhood memory as well as his drive to illuminate the meaning in the mundane, the life to be found in unexpected corners.

Fortnite Earns $100 Million in Its First 90 Days on Mobile
Estimates from Sensor Tower Store Intelligence show Fortnite reaching another major revenue milestone on mobile.
Having brought in more than $25 million during its first month on mobile, Fortnite increased its revenue generating momentum to surpass $50 million by its 45 day mark. Now, three months since its March 15 launch, Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data reveals that the game—which debuted on Nintendo's Switch console last week—has reached $100 million in worldwide player spending on Apple's mobile platform.
Already Among the Mobile Gaming Greats
In reaching this milestone, Epic Games has managed to surpass some of most successful multiplayer mobile titles of the past two years, despite the fact that Fortnite initially launched in invite-only form for two of the 12 weeks it has been available. As the chart below shows, it earned more than 3x as much as Tencent's massively successful Honor of Kings—known as Arena of Valor in Western markets—did in China during its first 90 days on iOS, despite not being available there itself. (It will be launching in China at an undetermined future date courtesy of none other than Tencent.)
The mobile version of Fortnite has also earned 335 percent, or about 4.3x more than its closest revenue rival among the new breed of battle royale titles on mobile, Knives Out from NetEase. What's more, it managed to earn approximately 65 percent as much as Supercell's Clash Royale did in its first 90 days, a title that had the most successful launch in mobile gaming history next to Niantic's Pokémon GO in terms of revenue.
The Race to $100 Million
It took Fortnite's mobile players 90 days to spend $100 million in the game. We looked at how this compared to its rivals above. Among them, Clash Royale managed the fastest time from launch to the $100 million milestone on iOS, accomplishing the feat in just 51 days. Fortnite, however, reached this point nearly three months faster than Knives Out and Honor of Kings, at 173 and 179 days, respectively.
Fortnite's most noteworthy rival, Tencent's mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, is absent from both of the above analyses for two reasons: It has only been monetizing for 60 days and it hasn't reached $100 million in player spending. According to our latest estimates, it has considerable ground to cover, having only grossed about $5.2 million to date on iOS as its publisher works out the best way to monetize its mobile player base. Tencent appears to feel that adopting an objective-based approach similar to Fortnite's Battle Pass, calling it a Royale Pass, is one way to close that gap. It just launched today, so we'll be keeping an eye on how it affects PUBG Mobile's revenue generation.
An Epic Earning Outlook
So far, Epic Games seems to have found its winning revenue formula across console, PC, and mobile, and that's selling limited-time (but non-random) cosmetic items in-game along with the aforementioned Battle Pass, which is good for one of the game's "seasons" that grants holders free items and other bonuses. We recorded a quadrupling of revenue when the game's fourth season debuted at the beginning of May, and we'll be keeping a close eye on what happens when season five hits.
Even apart from Battle Pass sales, we see Fortnite growing its momentum on mobile, and there are no indications of it slowing there—or anywhere else—as it continues its reign as the world's most popular game.

NGD's CEO Nick Razey was featured on BBC radio this week talking about data centres and the explosion in Cloud Computing. He explained the critical part data centres like NGD play in our fast-paced, data centric world.
BBC Wales 'Wales at Work" was particularly interested in discussing Cloud Computing and where all the data created ultimately gets stored and processed. Nick explained how the Cloud is dependent on major data centre facilities and how NGD, as one of the world's largest facilities, has succeeded in becoming home to some of the world's largest cloud providers, not to mention enterprise and systems integrator organisations.
Nick told the BBC how the data centre industry is growing in order to accommodate the explosion in Cloud Computing and other data intensive innovations on the way, such as the Internet of Things. "Data is growing at 45% per annum, and according to IBM, 90 %of all data ever produced occurred in the last two years," he said.
The value of using a data centre rather than storing it in at office premises was also discussed, along with the growing threat of cyber crime. "Security is a big concern for businesses. You can look after it yourself or use a professional - a data centre. It's like using a bank or keeping your money under the mattress," said Nick.

Caleb Breakey Gives Up Traditional Publishing, Now Produces #1 Best-Sellers With 5X Revenue for Authors
Posted by Ulyses Osuna | Jun 1, 2020 | Podcasts | 0
Caleb Breakey holds traditional publishing in high regard. But that doesn't mean it's the best approach to publishing.
For a decade, Breakey poured his blood, sweat, and tears into a system that left him broke and exhausted. Did he land an agent? Yes. Did he get book deals? Yes. In fiction and non-fiction, in fact. But at what cost?
Traditional publishing has been accepted for centuries in spite of glaring flaws. Flaws that aspiring writers overlook because they have to. What other choice do they have?
Breakey used to be like the hundreds of aspiring writers he got used to meeting at conferences. Desperate for one thing—to become an author. And like them, he endured ruthless publishing requirements so long as it meant the chance to see his book at B&N.
But then something inside of him awakened. He stood up to the system that left him—the writer—feeling like an employee. With hands-tied. Little ownership. Unable to change the price of his book, look of his cover, or try marketing strategies without big delays.
He was ready to forge a new path. To put the power into the hands of the writer. And if a way didn't exist, he was going to create one. Not just for himself, but for writers everywhere drowning in their own tears. Stuck in slush-pile wasteland with nothing to show but curt rejections … from the editors who bothered sending rejections at all. He hopes that writers everywhere will one day look back and say, "What in the world were we thinking?"
Closing Doors and Inventing New Ones
Breakey only sold 20,000 books through traditional publishing—from which he didn't see a dime. That's when he came to a raw truth: he knew how to write well, but he didn't know how to reach his readers. And if he didn't know how to reach his readers, what was the point?
So he vowed to stop writing until he learned the secrets of building a readership.
There were a ton of GREAT books that would never be read and a ton of AWFUL books that would be read widely. And the difference between the two came down to building a readership.
If you can learn how to build a readership, Breakey says, then you can become a successful author.
This mindset shift changes everything.
A New Way for Writers
Once Breakey embraced that he needed to learn how to grow a readership, things started to change for him.
Instead of hoping his next book would sell, he sketched out a 6-part plan to make that happen.
This plan ended up holding the key to reaching his readers and making a steady income as a writer.
Think of these 6 steps like a funnel, with your book at the top:
STEP ONE: You must write something worth reading (otherwise you'll just be a well-read author without any substance).
STEP TWO: You must run an ad that your ideal readers see every day (and no—it's not difficult to set up).
STEP THREE: You must collect the information of those readers who let you know they want to read your book (yes, they will do this every single day).
STEP FOUR: You must build a relationship with these new readers via email (believe it or not, you can automate this).
STEP FIVE: You must treat your growing fanbase as your biggest asset (which you can leverage into landing an agent and book deal, if you so choose).
STEP SIX: You must take your readers on a journey that includes more books, a video series, coaching, online seminars, or some combination of these (this is where you start making a steady income).
Once you install these 6 steps into your writing plan, incredible things happen.
Breakey has used these 6 steps to help aspiring writers:
Land the literary agent of their choice
Secure traditional book deals
Keynote to 100,000 people in 2 years
Get featured in Entrepreneurs on Fire, Forbes, and Inc.
Create coaching programs and enroll readers into 90-day workshops and weekend retreats
Grow email lists by the thousands
Earn $30,000 during a 30-day speaking tour
Win high-paying consulting jobs
His client list has hit all the big lists: New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and even the #1 book on all of Amazon.
Traditional publishing is an iron gate that requires a decade to break through. But Breakey has shown writers a better way to accomplish what they've always dreamed of—in a fraction of the time.
Speak It To Book and Sermon To Book Are Born
Most people have brilliant book ideas, piles of research, or half-finished manuscripts. Only a handful get to experience the accomplishment of a published book. That is why Breakey made publication possible even for those who don't have the time or energy to write their book.
Breakey's team at Speak It To Book and Sermon To Book is a group of skilled writers and marketers. They guide writers from blank page to best-selling published author in 12 months or less. And it doesn't stop there. Breakey's companies do cover design, editing, proofreading, sales copy, publication, platform-building—everything. Best of all, the writer owns their full book rights and earns 100% of their royalties.
Breakey says making a living as a writer is finally accessible to writers. It's not easy, but it's possible. It's no longer a hope and a prayer. There is a strategy. A plan.
Working with Breakey shifts your focus to the bigger picture. If books create profitable opportunities, he's mastered the art of making those opportunities happen.

Fall Sci-Fi Premiers
Thanks to Sci-Fi Wire for the dates (though I don't really feel Desperate Housewives is really genre, Sci-Fi Wire does). I can't really say I'm interested in any of the new shows. I may watch Invasion, but only because it's on after Lost.

Downloadable pilot episodes
I really wish that media companies gave away the pilot episodes for download off their websites… rather than us having to ask a friend to record it on their DVR. SciFi led the way with what they did for BSG, other companies need to catch on.

The BBC did it too, with the Dr. Who pilot :-P
TwistyHat says:
Not quite ;)
zonk3r says:
well… you could get a copy of bittorrent and go to torrentspy.com and look for screeners.
i've already seen the pilots of threshold, surface (which was called 'fathom' before they renamed it), night stalker, supernatural and prison break well before they aired.
of the bunch i think prison break (which is currently airing) and supernatural are promising. surface is sort of interesting in a gremlinsy way and i'm interested to see where they will take it. threshold has some fun characters but they really are all scifi cliches…

Was PLANNING to start on Lost…
I made the decision to skip Lost last season because I'd already missed the first few episodes before being told that it was the best thing since sliced bread. I figured that I'd pick up the inevitable box set and be caught up to watch this season. Unfortunately, in the meantime I've become a Veronica Mars addict, so it looks like the second season of Lost will have to be a DVD first-view for me as well. Alias versus Smallville is another awful call which I think I'll resolve in favor of watching Smallville since I already have the first three seasons of Alias on DVD (thus, completing that collection becomes a moral imperative).
As for the new stuff, I'm mildly interested in all of it so it'll come down to what fits into my current Tivo schedule. To the rest, I'll just wish good luck…

Same here, except that I ended up catching the french dub. Which was pretty decent, except when they were discussing Star Trek "red shirts" and the cultural reference (although explained in the dialogue itself) completely escaped the people doing the translation.
I have to say, I was pleasently surprised, and I've been encouraging others like us to get around to watching it: It's just -good- : )
octa says:
LOST is an amazing show. It does require keeping up with the episodes to truly enjoy it though. If after watching the first 5 (5th especially) you aren't hooked then let it go :P

I swear that the studios know they have a limited Sci-Fi
audience and put decent shows against one another so they can cancel both.
Smallville vs. Alias? Come on. It does look like though they're confident they
can kill the 'must see thursday' that used to be NBC and win back some ratings
for that night.

I caught the first episode of Medium on BBC One this week, completly by accident. Had I just read the description in the TV guide I'd never have watched it but I have to say I enjoyed it. It's not exciting, but it's interesting and kept me watching. I'll probably keep an eye out for more episodes but it's on very late so I'll probably miss most of them. (No PVR .. yet)
Re: Medium
After episode 3 I couldn't watch it anymore, it was just getting really stupid. When I saw a preview for a "medium vs medium showdown" I turned it off in disgust.
Good premise, just wasn't happy with the writing.
Wondering About Non-Genre?
You can take a look here for the primetime grid (updated 08/26) for this coming season. It also includes premiere dates for the fall season and some early information about pre-planned mid-season schedule changes (Fox and post-Monday Night Football ABC).

Chalie Jade
In Canada, Charlie Jade, which was reviewed at this site, will be rerun on the CHUM A Channels starting, uh, last Saturday, and on CTV's Atlantic affiliates beginning September 15. The show is also running or about to run in a number of eastern European countries.
It's light-years from genre, but How I Met Your Mother features Alyson Hannigan
Desparate Housewives
I've never seen the show, believing from the promos that it was a Dallas-style nighttime soap with a lot of extra humor. Can someone in the know clue me in to how it's even remotely genre?
Re: Desparate Housewives
I haven't seen it, but DH is an evening soap, on a mainstream network, which reportedly has good writing. If that isn't something out of SF/fantasy, I don't know what is.
The girlfriend watches it and tells me that there's an underlying mystery about a dead woman. This dead woman voices over the intros into each episode or something. I don't know if that deserves a push into genre but there you go.
Except Dallas was good! *g*
Yeah, its just over the top confusion among apparently hot women in their forties and their soapish confusions. A comedy probably, but scifi no way. One woman comits suicide in the first episode and then goes on to be the narrator for the series -not as ghost or anything, we never see her again, just hear her voice explaning things as the show goes along. A lot of people evidently love it, I just think its a waste of time unless you turn on for the ogle factor.

Threshold looks interesting
I'm considering watching Threshold, if only because Brent Spiner's in it, and it looks like the series' is going to have a (I'm not sure what the proper term is), Little Person other than Warwick Davis in a serious role.
FalsePositives says:
Re: Threshold looks interesting
I nave just seen a commerical for it, but had not heard any details about till today.
via Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper is this review (3 / 4 the way down :
9 p.m., Global (canadian channel)
Fridays, 9 p.m., CBS
Starts: Sept. 16
Setup: While on routine duty, a naval cargo freighter makes the most astounding discovery in modern history: An alien craft has landed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The U.S. government reaction is to call in Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), a "contingency analyst" who specializes in planning for worst-case scenarios. The good doctor's first move involves assembling a team of savvy experts — an engineer, a communications expert, a linguistics professor and so on — to respond to the crisis. Her next action is to implement Operation: Threshold, the government's long-dreaded game plan to deal with a full-blown alien invasion. Look to the skies!
The good news: There's no shortage of jolts and thrills in the sharp pilot episode. Gugino is very good as the lead character and there's some creative casting among the supporting cast, most notably former Star Trek: The Next Generation mainstay Brent Spiner as the microbiologist Nigel.
The bad news: How many alien invasions can the viewing public sit through? Through no fault of its own, Threshold will inevitably be compared to the similarly themed new shows Invasion and Surface.
Chances: It's the scariest of the new alien series, if that's worth anything. Forget about the Canadian broadcast; the future of Threshold depends entirely on its timeslot in the U.S., where it has surprisingly slight competition on Friday nights. It's creepy, and it's a keeper.
Score: 3/5
It looks to me to be the only new thing to watch.
Is this not just a tweaked version of Sphere, or am I imagining things?
Hehe, I thought the same thing after reading that. I think the only reason for the similarities is the plan for a first contact scenerio is entirely reasonable and somewhat obvious. It's the smartest way to go about dealing with it imo.
I just wonder how the world's religious communities will deal with the revelation. Few shows/movies have ever really touched on it. Contact did in some way but not enough in my opinion.
Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey
Sounds like one of the writers / producers is a fan of Ireland's most famous resident scifi/fantasy author.
The Friday timeslot, with its lack of competition, is why I set up the ole Tivo for the pilot. Of course, I have the advantage of being on the west coast where Sci-Fi Friday is over at 8:00 p.m. so there's no chance of any genre conflicts for the time being.
Well, I should be completely candid…Carla Gugino was also a major factor in me deciding to give this one a shot. :)
Of the pilots I've seen so far…
Kolchak was a definite different spin on the old show, but I thought the pilot was really strong. I'll be watching it. It's being helmed by one of the X-Files alums (Spotnitz), and it shows. Amazingly creepy, there's some sort of meta-plot. But the story itself was good. Pay close attention for a really clever "cameo". A.
Threshold – Enjoyed quite a bit. Lots of creepy bits, looks like they'll be dealing with this one "invasion" for the season. Creepy as heck, though I think Kolchak was creepier, IMHO. Some clever casting decisions, including Brent Spiner as a sort-of reprise of his character from Independence Day. We'll see. B+
Invasion – Very influenced by Lost, IMHO. A few scares, but mostly setting up all the characters (there are a bunch), though the fact that it's set during a hurricane might cause it to be pushed back or something. Obviously something's going on by the end, but it's a bit subdued for my taste. B-.
Supernatural – haven't watched the whole thing yet – the intro sequence is extraordinarily creepy, and so I haven't watched the entire show yet.
Anyone know why the X-files sub-genre seems to be full this fall? I know "Lost" has been mentioned, but that's mostly a character-based drama with some niggling questions (of the bunch, Invasion comes closest to that), but all of these seem most influenced by X-Files, not Lost. And this doesn't even include Surface (Fathom?).
Re: Of the pilots I've seen so far…
Anyone know why the X-files sub-genre seems to be full this fall? I know "Lost" has been mentioned, but that's
I don't think anyone can say for certain, but I read an article in the newspaper's entertainment section (and am tempted to say that the opposite must therefore be true) that had some network type citing Lost and other recent sf successes– Galactica, I think was the "other"– as the reason. To a typical network suit, I suspect SF is either Trek or X-Files/Lost, and since the former has exhausted itself, obviously the latter is the subgenre to copy. Of course, Kolchak could just be part of the networks' apparent grand plan to revive every show in history as a remake or a really bad movie.
I plan to check out Threshold, and might catch a Kolchak or two. (Rewatched the original Night Stalker pilot/movie last year; man, does it seem cheesey now).
if you liked the monster of the week episodes of x-files or regular eps of millenium or that old sam raimi show american gothic i think you will like supernatural. it has a good creepy factor…
Non-Network but Genre
Justice League Unlimited returns for its third (or fifth, when combined with two seasons of Justice League) season on Cartoon Network, Saturday, September 17th at 10:00PM Eastern. The premiere will consist of two episodes, so those using something non-Tivo to record should be aware. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any information as to when YTV will be starting the new season for our Canadian brethren…
For those who haven't seen it, the series is great and has more DC characters than you can shake a stick at. Now, if those Warner jerks could just release the DVDs in full-season format instead of over-priced story arc packs which I will never buy because I'm spoiled!

Sweet! After that last ep of last season I thought it was a wrap.

Washington University in St Louis
Washington University was founded in 1858. The present campus was established in 1903 but the school did not take possession of the campus at that time. That was because two important world events were happening in St. Louis, the 1904 Olympics, which used Francis Field as the location of many of the track and field games, and 1904 World's Fair, which used Brookings Hall as its administration building. Wash U, as it is commonly called, is located in University City and is a private four year school with undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The "Bears" sports program is in the NCAA Division III and offers men's and women's sports.
Washington University at a Glance
Type of School: Private, independent
Undergraduate: 7 schools, 90 programs
