I have to admit, I'm a tad surprised there haven't been more jokey comparisons between the US Shutdown and the '75 Constitutional Crisis in Australia..

Oh the joys of parents who leap first... Tor - Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere Banned in School

Let's go for another splash of variety..

Since we've had the splurge of Star Trek..

Oh, and for Breaking Bad fans, apparently the "Better Call Saul" spin-off is looking like its getting the go-ahead...

Person of Interest - They seem to be upping the sex appeal with Sarah Shahi's angry operative. And I still think when you get down to it, it's really a superhero show more then a spy-type one. Treat the computer as an omniscient hero type, surveillance as a super-power, and the main characters as his good-guy minions...

I would have to say, that the reboot TR wasn't really a Tomb Raider game. What it was was a prequel that establishes why the character becomes the Tomb Raider of future games.. So I'll be curious just how they handle the next TR game, and how well they develop it.

After a thorough examination, the vet can't find anything wrong with the dog (beyond the basic post-biopsy surgery aspect) to explain why he's doing the fairly constant whining keen and painful shifting. The professional opinion is "he's a wimp". So a bit more pain medication and see how it shapes up.

Astronomers note a rather large asteroid on its way...

Heh, for the slight divergence.. It looks like all that debt talk drove someone nuts.. House Stenographer Loses it During Shutdown Vote

Hm. You are Jean-Luc Picard Jean-Luc Picard 65% Will Riker 60% Geordi LaForge 55% James T. Kirk (Captain) 50% Mr. Sulu 50% Spock 49% Mr. Scott 45% Worf 45% Deanna Troi 45% An Expendable Character (Redshirt) 45% Data 41% Leonard McCoy (Bones) 40% Beverly Crusher 35% Chekov 30% Uhura 30%

Just for the variety...

I should have added the rest of the link , so my bad.. but here's one of the reports on it all..: The Escapist - UK Tabloid Confuses Deus Ex Company for Real World Firm

The DEHR Director's cut merges in the Missing Link into the original game, and all of the boss fights have been overhauled. So no more walking directly into a pure combat heavy fight (supposedly), that a few other small tweaks and touches to how it plays. If you already own the original game and the dlc, the cost for it is around 5 euro's.

Hm, well the dog is still whining pathetically, so the vet was called and they're surprised. So they want him back in to put under sedation and go have an explore. I half think they broke his tail during the original op or something like that... On the plus side, after spending about 3 hours at the hospital this morning, the whole grouping of specialists have finally decided that the lack of quality of life has reached a point that the potential risks of doing a knee replacement on my mother might actually be worth considering. That and with various things her lower spines curing and now one leg is about an inch and a half shorter then the other. Getting the anesthesiologist, the dermatologist, the orthopaedic surgeon, and the other handful of "specialists" to stop doing the "I'd do it but x, y and z could interfere which isn't in my field so I need to talk to ..." and actually agreeing on something seems a major miracle. Whether this means they'll actually fix the other knee that had a replacement that "clicks" is another matter.

And talking of TV warnings in general...

Oh and the latest... http://youtu.be/rNxvo8AcpQQ

Heh. You can always trust The Sun to accurately research things they write about...

Well if he was an LMD the old backscatter / x-ray vision would have meant she saw a hellava lot more. That, and the way Fitz & Simmon's talked about the tech in that eye being a decade in advance of what Shield has.. suggests that it's not going to be a traditional LMD if it were an LMD...

And sometimes.. It's just about the legs..

and shiny too .... wax on, wax off Dang, I've got an amusing motivational picture with that caption.. but after the body paint images it would be pushing this thread too far.. So how about we just go with something incredibly pink..
