House, M.D. – Season One

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Thursday 18 June 2009 12:00 pm

He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what’s on his mind. He’s Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven’t rewritten the hospital drama–at heart, it’s a cross between St. Elsewhere, ER, and C.S.I.–but they’ve infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV’s most compelling characters. More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio’s underrated Gideon’s Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn’t work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he’s joined by an intriguing cast of characters, portrayed by a combination of experienced vets (Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard) and new faces (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer). Aside from the complicated cases they tackle each week, the sparks really fly when House’s brilliant, if naïve charges are put to the test–and as the head of a teaching hospital, it’s his job to test them (although his tough love approach is constantly landing him in hot water with Edelstein’s administrator). From the first episode, House attracted a talented array of guests, including Robin Tunney (”Pilot”), Joe Morton (”Role Model”), and Patrick Bauchau (”Cursed”) as Spencer’s father. In addition, Chi McBride and Sela Ward appear frequently (with Ward returning for the second season). Viewers who first watched these 22 episodes on Fox will be gratified to note that the music has survived the transition to disc, such as the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” as featured in both the pilot and season finale (”Honeymoon”). The only apparent omission is the credit theme (Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”) from the pilot. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

Purified water is a powerful way to keep your whole body revitalized and uplifted.

Compact, Efficient, and Portable
Thanks to its slim, compact design, the Brita Slim Pitcher can be stored in narrow spaces like refrigerator doors, avoiding the hassle of sacrificing valuable shelf space. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up 40 fluid ounces of water, the equivalent of five 8-ounce glasses. The sleek design makes for effortless transport, refilling, and pouring.

Reduces Impurities and Cuts Down on Chlorine Taste
The pitcher’s included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to special sponge-like filtration system.

The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.

All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.

Water is a vital resource in energizing your mind and body, and using a Brita Pitcher ensures that the water you’re drinking is in top quality. Proper hydration helps your body control temperature, keeps skin clear and glowing, and transports nutrients to the brain and other organs. It also acts as a powerful aid in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Brita recognizes the importance of water to human wellbeing and takes special care to optimize the healthfulness of your drinking water, so you can keep fit and energized.

A Simple Way to Support the Environment

Steel Magnolias (Special Edition)

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Thursday 18 June 2009 5:17 am

Based on Robert Harling’s play, this comedy-drama directed by Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) follows several years in the lives of women who regularly see one another at a beauty shop in their small Louisiana town. The story deepens as Julia Roberts, playing a serious diabetic and the daughter of Sally Field, goes downhill in her health. But as an ensemble piece, this is one of those enjoyably lumpy tearjerkers with many years’ worth of stored truths suddenly being shared between the characters, lots of grievances aired, that sort of thing. Daryl Hannah and Shirley MacLaine assume the most eccentric roles, Dolly Parton the most fun, and Olympia Dukakis the most dignified, while Sally Field essentially provides the moral and emotional center of the movie. –Tom Keogh
