Zsa Zsa Gabor's longtime Bel-Air estate has come on the market at $15 million.
Gabor's ninth husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, had announced in January that the couple hoped to sell the house for $28 million. More recently, he expressed a desire to downsize to a modern building with security for him and his wife, 94, who has been in and out of the hospital for hip replacement, leg amputation and pneumonia.
"I want to move her into someplace safe and more comfortable — a luxury high-rise condo," he said in an interview. "This house is old, you know."
The French Regency-style mansion sits on a 1-acre gated promontory with views of downtown Los Angeles, Santa Catalina Island and the ocean.
The 28-room home, built in 1955, has a formal sitting room with an antique French fireplace, an oversized dining room with city views, a butler's pantry off the kitchen and staff quarters. Four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a half-bath lie within 6,393 square feet of living space.
Former residents include Howard Hughes and Elvis Presley. Gabor bought the house in 1973 for $280,000.
Her scores of TV and film appearances include a starring role in "Moulin Rouge" (1952) and guest appearances on "The Hollywood Squares" in the 1960s and '70s and "The New Hollywood Squares" in the ''80s.

Before & After: Tasting Table's Test Kitchen and Dining Space
In the February 2012 issue of Dwell magazine, Tasting Table—the Daily Candy of the food and wine world—shows off their new 2,200 square foot test kitchen and dining space in Soho, New York. The space is huge (it's much larger than many apartments!), but the gut renovation is still inspiring.
Designers Eric Cheong and Loren Daye kept the project well under budget by sourcing materials and furniture at auction and from eBay and Craigslist, and by prioritizing costs. For example, to save on lighting costs, they lit the bar area with clip and rope lights from Home Depot, but they spared no expense in other areas: the kitchen is outfitted with all the latest technology, including appliances from Magimix and Jenn-Air, bakeware by Revol and Speiglau, and gadgets by Polyscience.

Post subject: Young Shovelglove
Although not the youngest, from what I gather. A high school senior, I came across a link to the Shovelglove home page from Lifehacker. I've always been a tall, scrawny kid. No fat, no muscle, just skin and bones. Despite a few efforts to bulk up by going to the gym, nothing ever produced visible results, and I peaked on the machines after about a week. So I read the blurb about useful movements, and how coal miners are the buffest people EVER, and it really struck me as a good idea.
Luckily, we had a sledgehammer lying around the house. I'm no newcomer to handling it--I use it to crush cans and take them in for money--but I had never done anything like this before. The first day, I took careful heed of the warnings on the site and rested plenty in between sets so as not to tire myself out. To tell you the truth, I was just so danged excited about doing something new.
At the end of the week, I thought "Oh, I can work through the weekend, no problem." But Saturday evening, I realised that indeed my muscles were tired, and I was starting to get blisters on my hands. Thus, I fell into the strictest practice of Shovelglove.
Every night, I trek down to the garage, stretch a bit, then do my routine. Come back in, wash up, and go to bed. Everyone else is already asleep, so I don't have to worry about someone "catching" me. XD
I've worked my way up to the first routine detailed on the main page, and it's UNBELIEVABLE how much better I look, and how less tired I am when performing heavy lifting (for example, carrying my tuba around). My self-esteem has gone through the roof, thanks to you, and it's such an easy routine to keep that I don't think I'll ever quit.

I love to hear stuff like this. Thank you for posting!
And you must be the first person to have ever taken those warnings seriously! Thank you! I was about to resort to the dreaded blink tag...
I don't recall ever getting blisters from shovelglove, but my hands have been callused for years now. "Workers hands." I take it as a (fake, technically, I guess) badge of honor.
Sweet avatar. Is that me, or are you my clone? In either case, you can sure draw. We might have to draft you to the shovelglove t-shirt design committee...

Excellent nuance in the face area...

Hi Ben,
That is amazing. You've inspired me to get back off my lazy butt and pick the sledge back up. I mean it. I've been so idle recently I haven't done a consistent SG workout in about 6 weeks, even though I used to do that pretty much every day. Hmmm. I just realised what was missing from my life again.
Rock on. This is great news!
ps: I'd *definately* buy a T-Shirt with that Avatar design on it. Ooh yes.

Wow, I'd never have thought my story could be so inspiring. . . but I'm sure glad it is!
As a matter of fact, one of the other benefits of shovelglove is already presenting itself. I regularly am in musicals at school, and this year I got the male romantic part. One of the scenes calls for my lady to jump into my arms and be spun around. Luckily, I had been shovelgloving for a few weeks before I had to do this. I'm pretty sure I would've had trouble with it before, so it was really great to be spared embarrassment (especially since I'm rather fond of her. . .
) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, I haven't gotten blisters so much anymore, but I occasionally do have the wrist strain problem someone posted about in the Flip Lever exercise. I have since limited my reps to 8 instead of 20. I'll have to work back up to it.
Regarding my avatar, that IS reinhard, and the reference photo is from the shovelglove home page. I'd love to be drafted into the t-shirt design committee if you think I could help. It would be an honor to contribute something after all Shovelglove has done for me. ^_^

Good luck catching your girl
Reinhard, this could be a big selling point in your useful movements metaphor...
Imagine a dating service where in order to prepare for your sweetheart you must first buy a sledgehammer and do flip the lever and churning butter till you can catch a flying girl in your arms!
That made me smile Ben!

Awesome testimonial, buddy!
I actually had a girls+shovelglove moment this weekend.
My wife was asking me why my shirts are getting so loose in the waist but they are too tight in the shoulders, so I took off my shirt and gave her a back double bicep pose. Her response was, "You have big bumps where your shoulders are!" I told her it's all SG muscle baby!
Anyway Ben, I so wish I could have started SG at your age--the possibilities boggle my mind. Stay with it and you will be way ahead of the bench press and dumbbell curl frat boys when you get to college.

Post subject: Ben,
Man, I wish I had your common sense when I was your age! I've only been shoveling for a week and I can see the difference. I can only imagine how buff you're going to get with at least a dozen year head start on some of us! Keep it up!

Very nice, Ben.
Now that's the kind of result that really means something
We'll need a "before" photo of you glum and alone (and out of shape) in your room
Enjoy the prom.

During my brief introduction to No S and Shovelglove and everything all at once, I haven't seen any females posting here during a quick browse. Anybody out there? I thought I'd start out with an 8-pounder, does that sound right? I'd just like to know what to expect because I think this sounds pretty cool for me to do.

HAHAHAHAHA I can imagine a few people answering like that already...
Who's acting in the series? No wonder you were telling me about how beautiful Korean girls' skins are and how their makeup looks the most natural. I'm so tempted to get La Mer moisturiser now...

i dunno the actresses n actors. the bad girl looks like a thai tranny. the good handsome guy looks like ah hing jiew, but better.the main actress is ok, a bit boring. if it was song hye kyo, i'll not f-forward, i'd savor every second of the movie.

Hi Terri,
What is the title of the drama. Sounds interesting. I normally watch the few first episodes then jump to the last episode (ending) and then watch the middle part again whenever I have time. If I don't watch the ending, i cannot stop watching. I might be crazy but watching the ending first is the solution.
- March 25, 2010 at 11:06 AM
- javapot said...
what title are u watching?
- March 25, 2010 at 11:13 AM
I can never understand the obsession with these korean or Taiwan dramas. I am not sure about others but my life is one helluva drama itself..Hahahahahaha...
Everyday is wake up at 5.30am, get ready breakfast and lunch for my daughter, water the plants, feed the cats, get ready to work, go to work, brave the traffic and workload and cranky bosses and idiots, take orders for my cakes on the side, rush home, brave traffic again, yak with my daughter while I get dinner ready, eat, wash up, get my cakes order on its way.. by the time I drop is midnight or later.
So, I suppose I am drama enough and most definitely no time for any other dramas!
By the way, I enjoy reading your blog

Haha Terri...it's called guilty pleasure and we are all entitled to ours doses. I used to be obsessive abt Cantonese serials, and now I am into box-sets. I have 4 seasons of Dexter - I can't wait to surrender my waking hrs and sanity to the idiot box. Enjoy yourself to the maximum

hungryc: yes, it's so addictive. i was also looking forward to night time (bc my mom hoards the tv during the day) just to watch the drama. i have two more 'box sets' but i am not sure if i shd start on them.
jade: men!
anon: i will keep tt two titles in mind...
johanathan: u wathced them too? i found the middle parts too vengeful n began to dislike the heroine. but the ending was good, thank goodness. i sorta wished the ending was bad so tt i'll stay away frm korean dramas for the next 10 years.

IT departments poised to fly past airlines on CO2 emissions
How green is your love?
Carbon emissions from computing looks set to overtake aviation, a UK environmental charity claimed today.
According to Global Action Plan, IT now accounts for 10 per cent of energy consumption in the UK.
Speaking at the House of Commons this afternoon, Trewin Restorick, the author of "An Inefficient Truth" report, said IT departments have been "incredibly slow to get off the mark" when it comes to reducing their carbon footprints.
He added that big name vendors had not been helping by using the environment as "a new marketing tool".
"I've seen a lot of green froth and hype from a whole bunch of vendors which are pretty hard to substantiate," said Restorick.
But he didn't just point the finger at the Dells, HPs and IBMs of this world.
The British government also needs to do more to address the problem. For instance, the proposed introduction of ID cards is a short-sighted plan which overlooks the impact the added amount of data could have on the UK's carbon emissions, Restorick argued.
Data storage needs have jumped by 48 per cent in the past year, according to the report. That compares to a three per cent increase in UK air passengers for the same period.
Restorick reckoned this growth is unsustainable, with more than two thirds of companies having already used up 75 per cent of their data centre floorspace and 61 per cent expected to hit storage capacity within two years.
While green awareness among those questioned was high, the study found that 86 per cent did not know the carbon footprint of their own department. The report also highlighted 56 per cent of IT departments did not see their firm's electricity bills, despite their huge reliance on energy.
Global Action Plan called for the government to adopt a more robust approach towards the IT industry. It recommended the possible introduction of tax incentives for small and medium-sized businesses that reduced their carbon footprint and also said that vendors needed to be more transparent.
Trewin said: "The government is very much softly-softly on the industry and this needs to change."
Global Action Plan surveyed 120 senior UK professionals who have a combined total of 500,000 IT users under their wing and a combined annual IT budget of £475m.
The report is here. ®

CHAMPAIGN – After a scrappy, sometimes sloppy game against Valparaiso Wednesday, Illinois head coach John Groce sounded like a man whose team had just survived a crucial test.
It had.
The Illini (3-0) overcame 31.8 percent shooting, a much bigger opponent and a hard, late charge from the Crusaders for a 64-52 win.
"We missed layups, we missed dunks, we missed turnarounds, we missed wide-open shots," Groce said. "And sometimes that happens. ... Tonight was one of those nights where we had to rely on our defense and our rebounding."
And both came through.
Illinois outrebounded Valparaiso 49-46, and the Crusaders (2-1) shot almost as cold as the Illini – 32.7 percent. Part of it was the shooting – the Crusaders missed a number of shots on air balls – and part of it was Illinois.
"Surprisingly, both defenses were very good tonight," Crusaders coach Bryce Drew said.
Rayvonte Rice led Illinois with 18 points, and added eight rebounds and three assists.
Joseph Bertrand added 14 points and six boards for the Illini, and Tracy Abrams had 12 points, four assists, two steals and two blocks. Jon Ekey, a 6-foot-7 forward, had a game-high 15 rebounds for Illinois playing against a lineup that sometimes included three of the Crusaders' four players who stand 6-10 or taller.
"The coaches tell me every day in practice, 'Go, the offensive rebounds are key for us,'" Ekey said. "It was just one of those days that I found my way in there."
Illini Center Nnanna Egwu had 10 points and three blocks before fouling out late.
Jordan Coleman led
Valparaiso with 15 points, and LaVonte Dority played through an early ankle sprain to add 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
"He's a very competitive player," Drew said of Dority. "[Being] from Chicago, he was looking forward to this game. I know he was going through a lot."
The Illini led by eight at halftime. But the Crusaders clawed back to within two at 49-47 with an 8-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Bobby Capobianco with 6:43 to play.
Then Abrams and Rice, both guards, scored on back-to-back drives into the paint against much bigger Crusaders to give the Illini a 54-47 lead, part of an 11-1 run that stood up.
After Capobianco's shot, the Crusaders scored just that single point over the next 5-plus minutes.
That kind of stretch was something Groce said he hoped his young team might have to fight its way through in these early games. The Illini have seven new faces on their 11-man roster, including five freshmen.
"I loved the fact that we got punched in the mouth on an 8-0 run to cut it to two, then went right back on an 11-1 run," he said.
Illinois opened the second half playing fast, running at the Crusaders. But over the first 6½ minutes, all that pace did was turn an eight-point halftime lead into a nine-point edge at 45-36.
Then the Crusaders started climbing back.
Alex Peters' layup in traffic on the baseline made it 47-39 with 9:06 to play, and the game felt closer than that.
Groce said this week that Valparaiso's size would test Illinois. The Crusaders have four players who are 6-10 or taller, including 7-0 center Moussa Gueye, and guard-heavy Illinois has just two, 6-11 Egwu and 6-10 freshman Maverick Morgan.
But the Illini held the Crusaders to nine offensive rebounds, most of them late in the game, and just four second-chance points.
Gueye had just two rebounds and didn't score a point.
Ekey ended a sometimes ugly, physical first half with a rainbow of a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Illini a 33-25 lead.
Points were looking unlikely on the possession. Abrams fed Ekey with an inbounds pass with just two seconds left on the clock. But the 6-7 forward spun quickly and fired the fade-away.
"He didn't panic, made a good read," Groce said. "I thought that was a big momentum swing."
Just a minute earlier, Valparaiso had closed to within three at 28-25 on a pair of free throws by Coleman.
Star of the game: Rayvonte Rice, Illinois, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists
Bertrand watch: 14 points on 4-10 FGs (including 2-3 3s) and 4-6 FTs, 6 rebounds, 1 assists, 3 turnovers in 35 minutes
Up next: Bradley at Illinois, 5 p.m. Sunday

It's poorly written trash that makes Avengers vs. X-Men look like a Charles Dicken novel in comparison (and I'm pretty sure everyone knows my opinion on that).
It's decompressed, there's no character development or characterization at all. Bendis' revised timeline is a poorly thought out joke that's masked with just enough fanboy catnip to keep the hardcore Marvelites at bay.
It's utter and complete shit, and is a sterling example of why people think the comic book industry is dying despite record sales.
by ElijahSnowFan » Thu May 16, 2013 9:57 amI guess I'm in one of those moods where I don't understand just what in the hell people who read comic books want. We complain about damn near everything.
DC resets? We hate it.
We hate Uncanny Avengers, despite the fact that it continues to push characters forward while, at the same time, allows for things that have been written in the past like Sunfire being altered by Apocalypse and Archangel getting Pestilence pregnant, while making it clear that not everyone knew that Wolverine was running a murder squad.
I guess we don't want those stories told.
We don't like Avengers or New Avengers because of...what, again? I can't keep track of it all.
At some point, as readers, we can't hate EVERYTHING. Being able to rationally discuss what we like, or don't like, isn't the worst thing in the world. It's frustrating at times to just hear the same complaints over and over, by rote.
by BlueStreak » Thu May 16, 2013 9:57 amThis book on Amazons Attack level of terrible. It's telling that Marvel's only half-heartedly promoting the event. They'd much rather have fans focused on Infinity than realizing that they've pissed away $40 on a crappy, dialed in alternative history story in which the main villain has yet to make an appearance after 8 issues.
But, hey Bendis mentioned Morgana fuckin' Le Fay. IT RESPECTS MARVEL HISTORY!!!
by Johnny Smith » Thu May 16, 2013 10:17 am
Sorry, BlueStreak - you're wrong. Amazons Attack was the best crossover event DC's published in the last 25 years. It was an example of everything that's good about comics. It spoke truth to power during the Bush years. It pushed the characters forward into places you'd never expect they'd go. Will Pfeiffer and Pete Woods produced a diamond out of a lump of coal.
How it failed to win an Eisner baffles me to this day.
My big thing is this: we have often criticized DC and Marvel's policies and behavior, including big events, foil covers, creator's rights, and decompression. But we believe too many of the critics cross the line that separates legitimate, productive criticism from polemical, inaccurate and unfair attacks. Some of what these critics say is true, some of their accusations are justified. The truth is rarely black or white; it resides in a gray area where advocates on either side typically don't like to venture. That is where we must go with comics criticism.
by ElijahSnowFan » Thu May 16, 2013 10:19 am
What? That's simply not true. Brevort and Bendis have been conducting "what happened" intervews for the 'Rama, just like they did for AvsX, and we've been hit over the head with Angela's migration to the Marvel Universe repeatedly.
Again, just because you're using hyperbole doesn't make it true.
by BlueStreak » Thu May 16, 2013 10:21 am
Had me up to the winky face.
You need to start writing for the front page.
by Punchy » Thu May 16, 2013 10:25 amThis series continues it's surprising swerve into alternate reality, and it's a lot of fun. As I said about last issue, your enjoyment of this issue will depend largely on how much of a fanboy you get when it comes to alternate universes. I like 'em, so I liked this issue. Bendis drops a lot more information about 'the new now' on us, and I found a lot of it very interesting. The antipathy between Tony Stark and The Defenders is intriguing, as is the fact that Morgan Le Fey is the biggest bad in this universe and the conflict between magic and science is a big, big deal. Who knew Hank Pym was so important? I wonder if Marvel are planning on any mini-series that explore this reality in greater depth like they did with House Of M, that universe lived on for a lot longer than I expected, and really, Bendis has only scratched the surface here.
Brandon Peterson's artwork is again very good, one of his strong-points is his depiction of technology and he gets to do a lot of that here. The climax of this issue involves Le Fey attacking at the same time as The Defenders attempt to break 'our' Wolverine and Sue Storm out of prison,and all hell breaks loose, with an amazing visual of two Helicarriers smashing into each other. It also looks like we'll be getting Wolverine Vs Wolverine round two, which should be exciting. There's a lot to wrap up in the remaining two issues of this title, people have complained about this event being too slow, but now I fear things may move too past!
by ElijahSnowFan » Thu May 16, 2013 10:29 am
That's the funny thing about this series: I can explain exactly where I feel it's written well. You, on the other hand, use generalities and hyperbole to say...what, exactly?
What isn't written well, Blue? What segment of the book, which issues, do you have problems with? How would you have resolved them?
You're not offering that up...why? If the book is so bad, it seems to me that it'd be pretty damn easy to explain how you would have done it better.
by ElijahSnowFan » Thu May 16, 2013 10:32 am
Punchy, haven't you been reading this thread? You're an idiot if you don't think that everything about this books sucks, despite the fact that you read as many books as I do every single month, have for years, and have no problems offering opinions about WHAT THE STORY IS ACTUALLY TELLING.
by Punchy » Thu May 16, 2013 10:35 am
I've been getting crap for liking this series from the start.
I actually like that this title has not been what everyone expected, I like that Ultron has been a more peripheral figure. I like that the the very idea of Ultron is more of a terrifying villain than most actual villains.
It's not a classic, by any means, but it's pretty good.
by ElijahSnowFan » Thu May 16, 2013 10:39 amTo say there's no character development is a joke, as well.
Susan Richards allowing Wolverine to kill Hank Pym was significant on any number of levels. The Fantastic Four has always been a concept, a unit, that has been "above the fray." Reed Richards has always been a bit of a douche, but Ben, Johnny and Sue have always had this wholesome air about them.
But you know what? When push comes to shove, when faced with the thought of losing her kids, her reality, everything that she ever knew, it was interesting to see that Susan Richards would still, initially, choose to not let Hank Pym be killed. She didn't want to allow that to happen, she wanted there to be another option, but there wasn't, and she wanted to save her family.
That makes her more human than she's been in years. She's always been the paragon of motherhood and wholesomeness. It's great for her character to actually have to struggle with a moral question. When was the last time that happened?
by habitual » Thu May 16, 2013 10:40 am
Peripheral would indicate present, and he hasn't been present the entire series.
I took a 25 dollar tour to see the basements of the Marvel Universe and I was hoping to see Ultron, one of the best Avenger's villains of all time, at least at some point in this event.
I feel like I've been lied too by Marvel's PR department.
by Punchy » Thu May 16, 2013 10:41 am
Ultron has appeared in this series, just not the main Ultron.
by habitual » Thu May 16, 2013 10:43 am
That's complete BS, there has been no Ultron period. That's like saying a Doombot is an acceptable stand in for Doom himself
There's really no proof that the Vision isn't responsible for all this at this point.
by chap22 » Thu May 16, 2013 10:47 am
I will admit I do not stand with Blue on the overall quality of this event. it certainly has its weaknesses...i feel the first few issues were TOO decompressed, i do lament the fact that the titular villain has not shown up through 8 issues in a 10-issue mini, i feel that after dragging the first 4-5 issues along so slowly Bendis is now throwing too much too fast and it's really affecting the narrative for me, i don't like Peterson's art, and other assorted complaints, but it is not the worst thing ever written, and it's damn sure not Amazons Attack-level, which is somehow even worse than the worst thing ever written.
that said, he does obliquely touch on the one thing this issue which really did finally lose me, or at least sway me into being in line with his earlier point about just enough fanboy-nip to appease old-timers...why Morgana? I saw Bendis's post about all the stuff that wouldn't have happened or would have happened differently if hank had been killed. I've followed Bendis's narrative thread here so far. I get the "butterfly effect". and I think it actually probably would've been neat in this story to draw sort of a straight line from Hank's murder through to a logical cataclysmic event that wouldn't have happened had he still been around. but a magic vs. science war with le Fey that the heroes lose? where in holy fuck does that come from in relation to BIOCHEMIST Henry Pym? instead of going with something logical that could've proven his big long list of altered continuity relevant and worthwhile, Bendis pulls this completely out of his hat, I guess because he has a hard-on for the character because he really REALLY liked Avengers 240-241 (which might also explain his Jess Drew love too, come to think of it...) or the first 3 issues of the Busiek/Perez run or something. it feels totally unrelated to everything else he's shown so far, and THAT's where the narrative loses me.

(WENN)- Daniel Radcliff has mixed feelings about Johnny Depp's casting in the "Fantastic Beasts" films, insisting he can understand fans' frustrations.
Many people have questioned Depp's ongoing involvement as Gellert Grindelwald in the Harry Potter prequels after his former wife Amber Heard alleged he had been physically and mentally abusive to her throughout their short-lived marriage.
The 31-year-old actress obtained a temporary restraining order when she first split from Depp in 2016.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling previously defended the decision to keep Depp in the films, but Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard, isn't sure the producers made the right decision.
"It's a very hard thing for me," he tells Entertainment Weekly, explaining he wants to be supportive of the producers behind his Harry Potter films. "I can see why people are frustrated."
Radcliffe adds, "I'm not saying anything that anybody hasn't already said - and this is a weird analogy to draw - (but) in the NFL (National Football League), there are lots of players arrested for smoking weed and there is other people's behaviour that goes way beyond that (sic), and it's tolerated because they're very famous players.
"I suppose the thing I was struck by was, we did have a guy (Jamie Waylett) who was reprimanded for weed on the (original Potter) film, essentially, so obviously what Johnny has been accused of is much greater than that."
Waylett starred in six franchise films, but was dropped from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after he was arrested for growing marijuana plants. He subsequently pleaded guilty and was sentenced to community service.
Meanwhile, Johnny will star in the next Fantastic Beasts movie, The Crimes of Grindelwald, alongside Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Jude Law, and Ezra Miller. The film hits theatres in November (18).

Foreclosure and The Presidential Race: Has Obama Done Enough?
Blog post • Aug 23, 2012 18:20 EDT
The Republican and Democratic conventions are almost upon us, and the housing crisis has finally been inserted into the presidential election.
Maybe the President and his Republican rival see homeowners as nothing more than another campaign issue to be exploited, or maybe they are finally starting to understand how central the need to tackle the foreclosure problem is to the American public.
Some days it is hard to tell. But at least the narrative is starting to move forward. It is a start, if a meager one at best.
The housing market is indestructibly woven into the economy. The whole narrative is actually very simple.
Housing has led the economy out of every recession since the Great Depression.
A refi boom inevitably takes hold as interest rates drop and folks refinance their mortgages for lower interest rates.
The extra money from the lowering of your monthly mortgage payments goes right back into the economy, whether its buying new tires, taking the family out for dinner or going to the shore for the weekend.
Those activities stimulate the economy from the ground up. That unfortunately didn't happen this time because there wasn't enough equity in our homes and thus the banks refused to refinance your loan.
But of course you and I have known this for a long time now, long before those in power were paying attention.
A year ago I told you underwater mortgages were the "900 lb. gorilla in the room" that could derail President Obama's re-election campaign.

Red Hot Emma Stone – Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
This summer belongs to Emma Stone, the gorgeous and talented actress lighting up the screen in 'The Help,' 'Crazy, Stupid, Love,' and 'Friends with Benefits.' We're just as enamored with the 22-year-old as 'People' magazine, which ranked her the 10th most beautiful person in April.
The Arizona native first stole our hearts in 'Superbad,' and she kicked butt in 'Zombieland.' She's also funny, snagging the MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance for 'Easy A.' The tingling of our Spidey senses remind us that we can't wait to see Emma as the love interest in the next Spider-Man flick.
Flaunting her classic beauty, Emma sizzles on the August cover of 'Vanity Fair.' Just don't leave your copy unattended; you might start a wildfire.
Emma told the magazine her only dream had been hosting Saturday Night Live. She has already been there, done that. It's true she appears regularly in our dreams, especially because we just found out she's a natural blonde.

For Christmas, I fancied it up a bit by adding a cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of Skor bits and omitted the nuts.
1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Cream the shortening and sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Combine the dry ingredients and then stir into the wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate and toffee (or the nuts).
Form into one inch balls and press onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes 5 dozen.

High school students interested in studying food science, plant and soil science and poultry science at the University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) had a chance to take a closer look at those fields on Friday, Oct. 12, as part of the college's Exploration Day.
The day started with a continental breakfast in the Townsend Hall Commons followed by a reception at which professors from the departments welcomed the students to the college.
Among those were Blake Meyers, the Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Plant and Soil Sciences and chair of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, and Jack Gelb, professor and chair of the Department of Animal and Food Sciences.
Meyers talked about the diverse areas of expertise in the plant and soil sciences department, with professors working in areas ranging from horticulture to landscape design to sequencing plant DNA. "It's a remarkable department for the range of expertise that we have and we have wonderful student to faculty ratios," said Meyers. "We have a relatively small undergraduate program, and a larger graduate program in some respects, so that really affords a lot of opportunities for one on one interactions between students and faculty and a lot of research opportunities, and of course a lot of those opportunities lead to internships and lead to jobs later on."
Gelb spoke to the parents and students about the plethora of job opportunities available to them in the agriculture and natural resources field. "Colleges of agriculture and natural resources generally graduate 30,000 students a year across this nation but really, we need about 50,000 to 60,000,"said Gelb. "There are many job opportunities, so I think this is good news for the parents and the students alike, especially when you're making a big commitment for that college education."
After a presentation on admissions and scholarships by Heidi Mulherin, UD admissions counselor, the students divided into three groups — one for students interested in food science, one for plant science and one for poultry science.
The food science students got to visit the UDairy Creamery in the morning, where they tried their hand at making ice cream and participated in an ice cream taste test. In the afternoon, they had lessons on topics such as food packaging and investigating a foodborne illness outbreak.
The plant and soil science students learned about suburban landscaping with Sue Barton, associate professor of plant and soil science; toured the Fischer Greenhouse and the UD Botanic Gardens with David Frey, associate professor and assistant chair of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences; and explored a plant cell with Janine Sherrier, professor of plant and soil sciences at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute.
As for the poultry science students, they had a chance to tour the Allen Laboratory in the morning, and in the afternoon, they learned about avian histopathology for disease diagnosis from Erin Brannick, assistant professor of animal and food sciences and director of the CANR Comparative Pathology Laboratory, and investigated a foodborne illness outbreak with Kali Kniel, associate professor of animal and food sciences.
The three groups had lunch together in the Townsend Hall Commons before breaking off for panel discussions with current UD students and alumni from their respective areas of interest.
Latoya Watson, academic adviser at CANR, said of the event, "Exploration Day is designed to introduce high school students to some of our science-based majors in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Students participate in hands-on activities so that they can get a better understanding of their majors of interest. For example, depending on the track students choose, 'student explorers' may find themselves touring our Biosafety Level 3 avian research facility, performing activities that simulate a foodborne illness outbreak or even traveling inside plant cells by using some of the most high tech microscopes. These are unique experiences that we hope give them more insight into their intended fields of study."
Patrick McDonough, a student interested in plant science who manages his own vegetable garden at his home in New Jersey, said that he was looking forward to touring the Fischer Greenhouse.
Caroline Coffee was one of the students who participated in Exploration Day, and she said that she enjoyed touring the Allen Laboratory and getting to see the chickens. "I've never held a chicken before and never worked with chickens," said Coffee. "That was just a really cool experience for me."
Coffee, who is interested in studying veterinary medicine, said that she also enjoyed learning more about virology and getting to tour the CANR facilities. "The facilities are definitely impressive and if I decided to go here and get accepted, knowing what I would have as far as the hands-on things and the opportunities for my education was really cool."

This is amazing. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.
There are other videos of it, too. Including outtakes. Martha Stewart apparently has featured it, as well. They've got a website, too. These people, have Ph.D.'s from MIT, folks, so they know their ketchup crapping robots.
Where can I get one?
EDIT: Apparently, they also call it the "Ketchup Crapper", which fits, if you ask me.

Labor and the coalition have traded blows over cost-of-living pressures as the government reintroduced its carbon tax repeal bills.
The government is adamant the repeal will improve the cost of living for average families by $550 a year and drive down electricity bills.
But Labor has seized on new economic modelling which shows budget changes to welfare and seniors payments will erode family budgets by thousands of dollars each year.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott intends to have the carbon tax repeal bills passed through the lower house this week, in time for a special four-day sitting of the new Senate from July 7.
The government is quietly confident of securing six out of eight crossbench votes, including three Palmer United Party senators, to pass its legislation.
PUP leader Clive Palmer will outline at a media conference in Canberra on Wednesday night what it will take for his senators to back the bills.
"He will be fully transparent on Wednesday," his spokesman told AAP.
Mr Palmer also has concerns about pension cuts and the Medicare co-payment which he says will cost pensioners $2500 a year.
Environment Minister Greg Hunt on Monday seized on statements by energy retailers AGL, Origin and Energy Australia that prices would come down once the carbon tax was abolished.
"AGL today confirmed that price reductions will flow through to residential and small business customers if the carbon repeal legislation is passed by the federal parliament," the company said, adding the cuts would start from July 1 regardless of when the laws passed.
Mr Hunt said all six new senators had gone to an election promising to get rid of the carbon tax.
"All of the signs are that they will fulfil their commitment," he said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten in parliament referred to new modelling showing a couple on a single income of $65,000 with two children would be $1700 worse off in 2014/15 and short-changed by $6300 in 2017/18.
"Why should Australian families have to pay for the prime minister's dishonesty?" he asked Mr Abbott in parliament.
Mr Abbott told parliament Labor's family payments were unaffordable, but the government was still providing a generous system while getting the budget back under control.
Meanwhile, defeated Labor leadership contender Anthony Albanese rejected reports he has been privately critical of Mr Shorten's handling of strategy, policy, communications and internal party reform.
"Bill has done a good job of holding the government to account," Mr Albanese said.
Mr Albanese later told parliament the media reports were "absurd, wrong, without any attribution, unprofessional and contradicted by cursory examination of the facts and recent history".

George Clooney: Emotionally Unavailable?
George Clooney shields his face from photographers' flashbulbs while leaving a restaurant on Thursday (July 21) in Studio City, Calif.
The day before, the 50-year-old actor went for a ride on his motorcycle.
Justin Timerlake and Mila Kunis recently chatted about their Friends with Benefits characters calling out George as a playboy who's "emotionally unavailable."
"I'm pretty sure George Clooney, when he gets in his boat in Lake Como, and comes out of his house in Lake Como, will be okay with it," Justin told Fox411. "No, Clooney put on a huge benefit for Haiti, so I'm pretty sure he is emotionally available."
Late last month, a rep for George confirmed that he and Elisabetta Canalis were splitting.
FYI: George is wearing Levi's 501 jeans.

I priced out an entire dynacorn body for a 69 a few years ago, and it was around $13k for an entire new body, including delivery to my door. It included every new panel of sheetmetal, and was guaranteed by the seller to have the doors and trunk lid prefit with supposedly near perfect gaps before being sent out. Not sure how much this has gone up, but I know that the seller I spoke with was willing to deal a little, and the advertised price was not set in stone. Bear in mind, this was a few years ago, and they were trying to get this things out there for all of us to see. Just a thought.

Once Again, Google's Customer Service Is Becoming An Issue
from the this-again? dept
Google does lots of things really well. But, clearly, customer service is not one of them. And while its massive success can hide (or at least minimize) the impact of such poor customer service, at some point it's really going to begin to hurt, unless Google finally wakes up to the fact that when people have problems, they want to be able to reach out to a human being who will listen to them, hear what they have to say and (hopefully) help. Some have claimed that this is just not Google's culture -- and perhaps that's the case, but at some point that cultural flaw may cause much larger headaches.

Supreme Court To Debate DNA Patents
WASHINGTON (AP) — A case before the Supreme Court today could have major implications for medical research and the biotech industry. The court is being asked to decide whether DNA patents are legal. The industry says they need to recoup the costs of research, which would be slowed if patents are disallowed. Opponents say the opposite is true; the lack of patents will broaden medical research.

Spaghetti with Mascarpone and Lemon, Homemade Pasta, Spiked Pumpkin Milkshakes, Chicken Curry Egg Noodles, Pad Thai, and Sweet Potato Bread Pudding
We were mad for pasta this week, with recipes like this ultra-quick yet ultra-delicious pasta with mascarpone, Meyer lemon, spinach, and hazelnuts. There were two pasta bakes — one with prosciutto and mozzarella, and another with pesto and Asiago. There were noodle dishes from around the world, too, like pad Thai, simple Korean noodles, and egg noodles with rich chicken curry. We gave you fettucine with butternut squash, and offered you pasta cooking lessons — showing you how to cook fresh pasta from scratch, and how to fill and assemble agnolotti — little pillows of creamy pasta.
But not all was noodles. Halloween is right around the corner, so we threw in a creamy pumpkin pie milkshake (spiked, if you like!) and sweet potato bread pudding.

April 2, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Arriving a Florida State in the fall of 1989 as a walk-on distance runner with modest goals, Tracy Pepoon carved out her own niche for the Seminoles. By the time she completed her career, the Fort Walton Beach High graduate was a top-five fixture on the cross country team and an Atlantic Coast Conference track & field scorer.
Stopping by Mike Long Track on Tuesday while visiting from her home in San Diego, Cal., Pepoon presented Florida State sophomore Carly Thomas with the inaugural Tracy Pepoon True Seminole Award. The award will be presented annually to the Seminole women's cross country runner who best exemplifies the characteristics that Pepoon demonstrated throughout her running career and maintains today as one of the program's most generous boosters.
Florida State track & field coach Bob Braman and women's cross country and distance coach Karen Harvey, who were responsible for selecting the recipient, joined Pepoon in presenting the award to Thomas.
"Tracy is everything from being the self-made runner she was – a person I recruited at South Florida – and a very active booster," Braman said. "The idea kicked into my head when she was named one of the Champions of the Game. `She's a booster and a great example. We ought to have in her honor, a cross country award for someone who gets the most out of their ability and is a True Seminole in women's cross country."
Thomas, a Tallahassee native, is coming off an outstanding sophomore campaign in cross country, earning All-ACC (19th place) and NCAA All-South Region (18th place) honors after helping the `Noles to both team titles as the No. 5 runner. FSU went on to place eighth at the NCAA Championship meet with Thomas holding down the No. 5 spot. As a freshman in 2012, the former Chiles High standout was 28th at the ACC Championship meet and served as the alternate for the `Noles as they won the South Region team title and placed fourth at the NCAA Championships.
Despite moving to the opposite coast, Pepoon remains a loyal follower and supporter of the FSU cross country and track & field programs. She holds a special place for the school and program which helped provide her a sense of identity.
"I had pretty good success in Fort Walton," Pepoon said. "I was regional champion in cross country and track, but I was also full-time in band and Tri-State in band in clarinet, and I was in 13 different clubs. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do when I went to college.
"I was not quite good enough of an athlete to have caught the eye of any of the coaches for a scholarship, so I knew my option for a university like Florida State was to walk on."
She vividly remembers her first day of practice as a Seminole and what it meant to be a student-athlete at the school where she dreamed of competing.
"It gave me an opportunity to come to a major university and instantly be part of a family," Pepoon said. "I was overwhelmed when I first came to FSU. I came from a little high school and there were 27,000 people when I came to Florida State. I walked out to the track and they instantly welcomed me. I felt like I belonged. It made me decide to stay at Florida State, or otherwise I would have left."
Pepoon's road to a spot on the roster – and eventually the lineup – had plenty of early bumps.
"It was through a lot of hard work, but the team was very supportive," said Pepoon, who was a member of the program as it transitioned from the Metro Conference to the ACC. "My first target was to try and earn the right to wear the cross country t-shirt. They didn't hand them out to you unless you did well enough to represent the team. It took me a good six months to get to the point where I was a strong enough runner to earn the t-shirt. Eventually, I earned a pair of running shoes. …
"It took a couple of years to really make a difference on the team and break into the top seven, but once I did, it really started to take off."
Providing the award named in her honor is just one of the ways Pepoon has found to give back to the program and the school where she dared to dream of competing.
"I've followed Carly and she has done a great job," said Pepoon, who will continue to follow the `Noles and hopefully inspire others like her.

01.27.13: The CCRI Knights men's basketball team hosted the Sharks of Suffolk County Community college from Selden, NY on Sunday. The Knights lost to the Sharks 77-62. With the loss the Knights fall to 15-9 on the season.
After playing some of their best basketball over the past few weeks the Knights, CCRI had a game they want to put behind them quickly. The Knights knew they were going to be in for a battle as soon as the game began as the Suffolk team came ready to play and were dictating the pace of the game. The Knights would not just roll over and took a brief five point lead at about the 10 minute mark of the first half but Suffolk battled back to regain the lead and then extend that lead to 15 points by halftime with the score 46-31. The Knights battled back in the second half, thanks in large part to Co-Captain Bryan Yarce (Cranston, RI) who was a disruptive force on defense and helped the Knights cut the Sharks lead to just six points 64-58 with about six minutes left in the game. From their Suffolk was able to regroup to take extend their lead back to double-digits and the Knights had not answer on this day as they fell by the final score of 77-62.
Leading the way for the Knights was Co-Captain Bryan Yarce with a game-high 20 points with two steals and two assists followed by backcourt mate Desmond Williams (Torrington, CT) who added 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. With the 18 points Williams moves to No. 4 on the CCRI All-time scoring list with 1,141 points ahead of Willie Washington who scored 1,138. Also helping the Knights was Co-Captain Steve Bevilacqua (Exeter, RI) who scored eight points including two 3-pointers.
After the game Head Coach Rick Harris commented, "Today was a bit of a disappointment because we've been playing so well lately. We did not play our best today but you have to give credit to Suffolk. They came into our gym determined and ready to play. We did not match their intensity. On a positive note though, we were able to get the lead down to six points in the second half by using our pressure defenses but we came up just a bit short. Like always, win or lose, we'll put this one behind us and get ready for our next game against Navy Prep on Wednesday."
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.
