			<description><![CDATA[ Some of you may remember me talking about my mother&#39;s paintings and providing links to the website I did for her. It&#39;s still up although I haven&#39;t
done much with it for a while, other than adding and/or deleting images as she completes new work or sells something previously featured. You can see that at

have its own thread too if there&#39;s enough interest, and I&#39;ll probably be updating one we already have shortly after posting this. Feel free to talk
about any others you want, this is just what I&#39;m interested in.

			<description><![CDATA[ I was really surprised I liked this show as much as I did. I&#39;ve seen both versions of the pilot, the one they ran last May and then the extended version
that aired a couple of times in past weeks. Tonight, the series begins with its second episode at 9pm Eastern/Pacific on FOX, but the longer version of the
pilot is available on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hulu.com/search?query=glee">Hulu</a> now. If you haven&#39;t seen it you might want to watch it quick
to be ready for tonight,... ]]></description>

series <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.watchtheguild.com/">The Guild</a></strong>. It&#39;s about a group of social misfits who originally know
each other only online as members of a gaming group for a MMORPG, but later they meet in real life, all to hilarious results. I&#39;ve been remiss in not

			<description><![CDATA[ The first and most celebrated Guitar Hero, Les Paul (born Lester William Polsfuss) died today at the age of 94, from complications of pneumonia.
<br>
<br>
I suppose there are some younger folk who may not know who he was, but every fan of American popular music of the 20th Century owes him a huge debt of
gratitude. Paul was the originator of the first electric guitar, with the Gibson Les Paul model being one the most widely used amplified guitars for many
years. He also pioneered multi-track... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Writer, director, producer John Hughes died today, suffering a heart attack after a walk in Manhattan.
<br>
<br>
While I would never classify him as a great director or writer, his films were vastly more entertaining than your typical teen movie, and his characters were
usually more complex than they seemed on the surface. My pick for his best would be The Breakfast Club, with Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller&#39;s Day Off
in a close tie for second.
<br>
<br>
And dammit, he was just 59,... ]]></description>

again to solve &quot;locked room&quot; or impossible mysteries. We&#39;ve watched the first 3 shows and it&#39;s pretty good. It has a lot of wit, interesting
dialogue and a certain amount of weirdness balanced with humor. It also features a lot of cult actors as guest stars, Anthony Steward Head (Buffy of course),
Colin Baker (Dr. Who) and... ]]></description>

songs. I was very privileged to attend a private concert given by Shawn tonight, in the home of a friend of my brother&#39;s. Both my brother and I have been
fans of Shawn&#39;s since the early 70s. We have multiple albums by him, which we got autographed tonight, as well as purchasing a DVD of a concert he did a

and if you are in an area that is in as much of a drought as Central Texas, it&#39;s best to leave that to the professionals. ]]></description>

Maid Marion is a bit of a pain in the ass and some of the pc bs that is getting so common in everything, but I like it. The Robin Hood is solid, the Merry Men
are a bit few, but all good, Guy of Gisborne is a conflicted villain and the Sheriff is dag nasty evil. The only thing that just jumped right out and boggled
my eyes was there was... ]]></description>

main network shows like playing scratch-offs and your name is not Earl. But, Daughter #1 noticed it was by the creator of Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas. So, we
gave it a chance. And liked it. And I thought it was only going to be 13 episodes and it&#39;s gone at number 8?! Thanks a lot CBS! I hope it somehow gets

you&#39;ve seen the promos. They&#39;ve been running frequently during Lost. Nate plays a popular writer of mystery novels who has an encounter with a female
detective (Stana Katic, whom he is attracted to) when a murder suspect begins using methods Castle has written about in his books.

He was known by several different nicknames - Forry, 4E, 4SJ. His career spanned many years and many jobs, and I could have posted this thread in any of the
three specific SF forums here. He was a writer, editor, authors&#39; agent, but he is probably best known as the Number One Fan of the genre. It has been
reported that he missed just two... ]]></description>
