One of the most riveting stories of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China was the gold medal triumph of the U.S. Men's Volleyball team which had to overcome not only a stellar field of opponents but the tragic death of Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon's father-in-law just prior to the start of the volleyball competition. American Assistant Coach Ron Larsen, who spent six years as the head men's volleyball coach at UC San Diego before accepting a position on McCutcheon's national team staff, stepped into the breach and served as interim head coach until McCutcheon was able to return to the bench. Larsen, who led the Triton men to the 2000 Division III national championship and won UCSD's Excellence in Coaching Award in 2004, recently took time to look back on the Olympic sojourn.Q: How did your 2008 Olympic experience compare with the other aspects of your professional career?LARSEN: Of course, it is one of the highlights. I had the opportunity to coach on the largest stage in men's volleyball. However, it is still coaching. I had as enjoyable time coaching the UCSD men's team. The level was different, but the rewards were just as great. I think that coaching is about being in that moment...no matter who or what level you are coaching. Q: How did you and the U.S. team respond in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy that befell Coach Hugh McCutcheon's family?LARSEN: We were all shocked and sad for Hugh and Wiz (McCutcheon's wife) and her family. But, we also knew that we were there for a purpose and that we needed to continue with our goal and that was to continue to compete and improve for each match. Q: How did you feel when you stepped onto the court as the head coach of the U.S. Men's team in the first round match against Venezuela?LARSEN: It was a euphoric feeling. I was immensely proud that I had been given this opportunity, but I would have been just as happy to be on the bench and making my suggestions to Hugh. I knew that I had a great staff to lean on during this time. It is not often that you can look over and have as your assistants two coaches who are each participating in their seventh Olympics (Marv Dunphy and Carl McGown) and a NCAA winning coach (John Speraw). I knew that we had prepared well and were ready for any eventuality. Q: Going into the Games, was the gold medal something you thought was attainable for this group? Why?LARSEN: Clearly, we were one of the top team's at the Olympic Games. We had just won World League by beating Brazil in Brazil in the semi-finals and Serbia in the finals. We were playing as a team and each player was focused on the team and not his individual agenda. We had a shot and that is all that we wanted. Q: What were the keys to reaching and winning the gold medal match?LARSEN: Team, playing in the moment, and constantly improving. Q: How did the team celebrate its triumph?LARSEN: After the initial running around it was a time to be with their families and celebrate individually. Since our return there have been a number of events that the players and coaches have attended (Oprah, Bonnie Hunt Show, City of Anaheim Celebration, etc.) Q: Did you personally receive a gold medal? If not, how do you feel about that?LARSEN: No! I think that it doesn't matter. The game of volleyball is about the players. They are the ones who win the matches. Q: Are there one or two "behind the scenes" experiences from Beijing that you could share?LARSEN: I think that the one thing that is not understood very well is that when you are a coach at the Olympics that you don't have the time to go and enjoy the Olympics. You don't go to other events or see the city. You see the arena, practice gym, Olympic village, your room, and lots of video. Perhaps for those sports that end early you have some other opportunities, but volleyball started the first day and the Gold Medal match was on the last day...prior to closing ceremonies. Q: How much have you stayed involved with UCSD Volleyball since taking the position with the national team? What are your impressions on the jobs being done by Triton head coaches Tom Black and Kevin Ring?LARSEN: I have often talked with Tom about his program. I enjoy coming down and spending time with Tom and helping him in any way that he see's fit. He is a terrific coach and has done an exceptional job in coaching and building the women's program. It is not often that you find a coach that will do all of the things that Tom will do. He has shown creativity and been innovative in his approach to the game. They are in great hands.I have spoken less with Kevin, but that is because we spent so much time together during the six years that he served as my assistant coach. I just have to look at how well he did last year to know that they have the right person for this job. He loves UCSD and the men's volleyball program. His recruiting class for this year is perhaps the best of all time. His team will continue to improve. Q: What lasting memories do you have from your time at UCSD?LARSEN: I think that UCSD was one of the highlights of my coaching career. While it was not the easiest place to win matches at, it was a great place to be. The athletic administration and coaches of all the sports were supportive and great friends. It is not often that you join an athletic department where you like everyone. That was the case for me at UCSD. It was a joy to come to work. And, of course, the memories will include all of the athletes that played for me. Q: What do you like the most about your current position? Do you have aspirations to be a head coach again?LARSEN: It is an honor to coach the very best players in the USA and to coach against the very best coaches, volleyball players, and teams in the world. Of course, being a head coach is great and I enjoyed it. But, more important is to be a part of something that is bigger than you. Right now I am...tomorrow who knows? Q: Do you think you'll ever have another experience like that which you experienced this past summer in China?LARSEN: Who knows? If I am around here for London maybe it will be fraught with as much excitement as Beijing; however, without the tragedy.

Gadgets & Gizmos Get You Drinks
E-Cycling Happy Hour at Brother Jimmy's
What: Don't throwaway your throwback electronics! New York based electronics recycling program, Guzu, is encouraging you to go green with your gadgets by giving you an opportunity to let your old Blackberry, T-9 calculator or laptop buy you a drink! Bring in any old working or non-working electronic to recycle as your ticket in for an exclusive happy hour at Brother Jimmy's in Union Square on Wednesday, February 29th. Dig through your old junk drawer and join us as we toast to the old junk in your trunk and properly recycle abandoned electronics.
The guest who recycles the oldest, throwback electronic (i.e. Zack Morris cell phone, or beeper) will be awarded Brother Jimmy's signature fishbowl, Swamp Water. Happy hour specials include:
- $3.00: PBR, Bud/Bud Light Drafts, Nattys, Well Drinks, Frozen Margaritas
- $5.00: Heinekens, Frickles appetizer
Who: Guzu, launched by three New York eco-preneurs, pays consumers cash for their old electronics and then recycles them to the highest extent possible; helping to keep electronics out of landfills. On top of putting green in consumers' wallets, Guzu also plants a tree for every transaction completed through their partner American Forests, a nonprofit organization that seeks to protect the natural capital of trees and forests.
Why Guzu: Often times retired or broken electronics are tossed into landfills as they are not disposed of or recycled properly, adding to the millions of tons of "e-waste" produced every year.

Currently, only 25% of e-waste is properly recycled, with the vast majority ending up in landfills or consumers' "junk drawers."

In July, when the riders of the Tour de France headed into Paris during the final stage of the race, they gave the honor of leading the pack onto the Champs-Elysees to George Hincapie.
The 39-year-old American was immensely respected by his peers and well-loved by cycling fans even though he never won the event. Never even came close.
He will best be remembered, not as a two-time stage winner in cycling's greatest event, but as Lance Armstrong's main sidekick, his "best bro."
While Armstrong rode for glory, Hincapie rode for the team.
Armstrong and Hincapie were teammates even before Armstrong won his first individual Tour titles, compatriots on a team that was struggling to compete with others.
Until the two started taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Hincapie has said that it was 1996 when he first began to take banned drugs to improve his racing, something he said he would do for 10 years. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have been able to compete with the best cyclists, he said.
The sport is much cleaner now, he said by phone this week from Greenville, South Carolina, as he transitions into the next phase of his cycling life.
"Generally speaking there isn't doping any more," Hincapie said. "I can't say without a doubt that no one is no doping, but the culture definitely has changed."
Armstrong, in an interview aired this week, told Oprah Winfrey he engaged in doping from the mid-1990s to 2005, the year of his last of seven Tour de France titles and when he began his first retirement.
The perception of doping in the sport has lingered, even though Hincapie and others have said they stopped doping and subsequently raced clean.
Cycling officials have taken steps to cut down on the number of drug cheats, Hincapie said.
Great damage has already been done.
"The credibility of the sport is at an all-time low," Chris Keyes, editor of Outside magazine said. "And it'd be a mistake to pin that all on Lance Armstrong."
"It's tragic for what (doping) has done to a great sport and it's going to be a long time before it recovers," Keyes said.
Some professional teams have seen sponsors leave -- something some in cycling see as fallout from the doping scandals but others see as a barometer of the world economy.
Richard Schwinn, co-founder of Waterford Precision Cycles, said sponsors often come and go, depending on the how well their businesses are doing.
It costs at least $5 million a year to run a top-flight team, he said, which might not be much for a big bank one year, but may be too much the next.
Keyes and Bicycling magazine editor Peter Flax say disappearing marketing money has more do with the fact that some sponsors don't want to be associated with a sport that has been so prominently linked to cheating.
Its effect reaches beyond the elite teams.
"Tour de France teams have had to cobble together new sponsors and get more sponsors," Flax said. "And there are fewer lower level pro teams. It's a sad moment in time that will take a while to rebuild from."
While Armstrong was king, U.S. TV ratings soared and dollars rolled in. After he retired, the numbers plunged.
Armstrong's fall makes it a lot less likely that cycling will ever reach the popularity on television it did when the Texan was astonishing the world with his comeback from cancer, Keyes said.
It isn't like cycling is totally going in reverse.
Among recreational cyclists, the sport is as popular as ever. About 39 million Americans ride at least six times a year, according to the National Sporting Goods Association.

BKE Super Long Strappy Tank Top
SALE $6.83 - $12.00 was $12.00 Item #55460UJ375TB- Super long strappy tank
BKE Long Strappy Tank Top 21 21
BY FAR THE BEST!!! :O) These tanks are by far the BEST!! I have owned many of them for years and they still look BRAND NEW!! The quality is SUPER & the fit is GREAT!! I have purchased many brands of tanks, and find that my BKE'S are the best. I will never buy another brand again. They fit true to size, keep their shape and the colors are as bright as the day I purchased them. I HIGHLY recommend to all. Also, I am short and this style fits me nicely. Not too long in the length. :O) March 16, 2012
Great Tank I recently ordered some BKE tank tops for the first time. I ordered one of this style, a v-neck, and a couple of the lace-trimmed styles, though I will focus on this style below.Fit:In case this might help others with sizing info:I am 5'0", 92 lbs, 24" waist, 31.5" hip and wear a 32B bra.I ordered XS's in all of the styles I mentioned above. This style was quite a bit more fitted than the BKE lace-trimmed styles of the same size. This style XS fits skin-tight on me, which I love! It's very difficult for me to find truly fitted clothing.The XS I received measures 24" from the top of the shoulder strap to the bottom.Color:I ordered this tank in chocolate S. The color was as I expected given the photo. It is a rich, dark-chocolately brown.Misc:The fabric is thick enough to wear this tank by itself but also works great for layering.Overall, though I prefer the gathered neck and v-neck ones, it's an excellent tank! February 5, 2013
Great layering tank! Love Buckle long stappy tanks! They are the only tanks I wear for layering. They fit well & don't bunch up. They come in a variety of colors that will match any Buckle shirt. February 2, 2013
Favorite tank! Love everything about these tanks! Length is awesome! January 20, 2013
Necessary Staple in the closet These are my favorite undershirts. They are not too long or too short. They are soft and come in so many colors! I have a ton of these that I wear on a regular basis. I am a true M in BKE, but these tank tops seem to run a little more snug, so I wear these in L. I have also had some of mine for a few years and they still look great and have kept their shape. Good Buy! December 31, 2012

The murders of five prostitutes by the Suffolk Strangler in 2006 set off one of the largest manhunts in British history. DNA evidence led to the arrest and conviction of a man who admitted he had sex with four of the five dead women, but was he the actual serial killer?
by Siobhan Patricia Mulcahy
During November and December of 2006, five prostitutes were murdered one at a time in Ipswich, England. Although each was asphyxiated and not strangled, the British media dubbed the serial killer "the Suffolk Strangler."
Forensic evidence suggested that all five victims were attacked from behind and that the assailant put his arm across the victims' throats to render them unconscious. The first two bodies were found fully or partially clothed in a nearby river in Ipswich. The last three victims were left naked in woodlands near the same area; no attempt had been made to hide or bury the bodies. Each victim was arranged in the form of a crucifix with her hair extended outwards in the form of a halo. Jewelry and other trinkets were taken from the victims but have never been recovered.
The victims were 19-year-old Tania Nicol, 25-year-old Gemma Adams, 24-year-old Anneli Alderton, 29-year-old Annette Nichols, and 24-year-old Paula Clennell. Clennell, the fifth and final victim, had predicted her own murder during a television interview about the serial killer. She had been friends with the other victims as they worked the same streets touting for passing trade.
At the time of the murders, Suffolk police asked the Forensic Science Service to assist in one of the largest murder manhunts in British history. From the time Tania Nicol was reported missing on November 1, 2006, the police investigation involved 600 officers from nearly every law enforcement force in Great Britain. The inquiry team received more than 12,000 calls from members of the public and almost 11,000 hours of closed-circuit TV footage were scrutinized.

Hans van Meegeren
Hans van Meegeren duped a string of wealthy collectors into paying vast sums for fake artwork of the Old Masters. One victim was Reichsmarschall Herman Goering.
by Robert Walsh
When many people are asked to name a selection of truly master criminals they'll probably come up with the usual suspects: Jack the Ripper, Charles Ponzi, notorious English highwayman Dick Turpin or maybe legendary Australian bushranger Ned Kelly. One name that's highly unlikely to appear is possibly the greatest (and certainly the boldest) art forger in criminal history, Hans van Meegeren.
Van Meegeren was born in October, 1889 in the Dutch town of Delft, the same town as the equally legendary artist Johannes Vermeer, a 17th century master. Van Meegeren, like any aspiring local artist, was a fan of Vermeer and was keen to become Delft's other big name in the art world. He succeeded, but in a way that even the most inventive crime fiction writers couldn't possibly have dreamt up.

How bite marks can lead to convictions.
by Liz Porter
Criminals are regularly nabbed because they make stupid and careless mistakes. The burglar who robbed a safe at the up-market Haigh's chocolate factory in the South Australian capital city of Adelaide is a perfect example. He was caught by his own bad manners. On his way to burgle the establishment's safe, he toured the factory's display area, helping himself to samples and biting into several chocolate bars. He then threw the uneaten leftovers on the floor – from where police collected them. If he had taken his uneaten chocolate home – or neatly disposed of it in a rubbish bin – he might never have been caught.
The robbery took place on a weeknight in early February 1996. Office staff arriving for work at the inner suburban factory the next morning discovered that an intruder had broken in through a skylight. He had used an axe and jemmy to bash the alarm system off the wall and had then overturned the office safe, making a hole in its back and removing the $1,800 inside. The workers also spotted the partially eaten chocolate bars the thief had dropped on the floor, and noticed that he had also stolen chocolate from a display area nearby.

Winton Cooper
Popular BBC reporter Winton Cooper was brutally murdered by his own son.
by Ben Johnson
Staff at the BBC, one of the most high-profile broadcasting companies in the world, was left in shock after the January 2013 trial of a violent murderer who bludgeoned a former reporter and broadcaster to death with a hammer. Not least because the perpetrator of this sickening crime was the victim's own son.
Winton Cooper was a well respected local journalist, spending many years as a popular reporter working for BBC Radio Sheffield. Since retiring, Cooper, 64, had moved to the picturesque village of Marnhull, a quiet and respectable area on the Dorset coast, known for its natural beauty and quaint architecture.
This peaceful lifestyle was eventually to be shattered by the arrival of Joseph Cooper, then aged 24, in 2009. Winton and Joseph were virtually estranged after an acrimonious divorce between Winton Cooper and his former wife, Joseph's mother, in the mid 90's. This came during the height of Winton's media career, and left his young son devastated at the falling apart of his family.

The murder of 7-year-old Muslim child in Cardiff, Wales in 2010 brought his mother and father to trial. Did the jury convict the wrong parent?
by Marie Kusters-McCarthy
Arranged marriages are an integral part of Indian Hindu and Muslim culture. Parents, and family members, become involved in the search for a prospective bride or groom through acquaintances, advertisements or marriage brokers. In modern India there has been a move towards flexibility. However, there are still marriages where the bride and groom see each other for the first time at the wedding ceremony. The family will consider several factors such as background, wealth, social status, caste and education. More and more young women in India are university educated and the families are taking that into consideration when choosing a suitable partner.
The custom of arranged marriages in India can be traced back to the 4th century. It began as a means to unite, and maintain, the upper caste system. Eventually it spread to the lower caste as a way of staying within their social status and preventing unsuitable "love" matches. Even today 95 percent of Indian marriages are arranged.

Since the "War on Drugs" was launched in the mid-1980s, accompanied by mandatory-minimum sentences for drug offenders, the U.S. prison population has exploded from under 900,000 to 2.3 million prisoners. With correction budgets consumed by building new prisons and staffing them, rehabilitation programs were slashed. Prisons all over the nation turned – with disastrous results – to the use of solitary confinement as its primary means of control. More than 80,000 inmates are being subjected to long-term solitary confinement in the United States. Not one of them will leave prison undamaged by the experience.
by Shawn R. Griffith
I was 18 years old, sitting in a solitary confinement cell. My confinement was not a result of assaultive behavior, but instead a form of retaliation for refusing to jog. I was in one of the "Boot Camp" prisons so popular in the 1990s. This was a shock-jock program modeled after the Marines' real boot camps, like the one at Camp Lejeune. Ostensibly, it was designed by corrections officials to make the initial incarceration of youthful offenders so brutal that it would change their ways and divert them from future crime and the institutional lifestyle.
Unfortunately, for political reasons, it was also calculated to advance only the least offensive youths for early release. The others, like me with an armed-burglary charge, were pawns to make the program appear as if it were functioning as it was intended. The most sadistic guards from the State of Florida were brought in, and they pushed the young men who they did not want to complete the program to the brink of death. When I finally refused to jog anymore, actually collapsing of heat stroke, I was taken to medical where they registered a fever of 102.5. I was given ice for my forehead and sent to the dreaded confinement for refusing orders.

From George Washington through Ulysses S. Grant, U.S. presidents followed a relentless policy of removing Native Americans from their lands. President Andrew Jackson codified ethnic cleansing into law when he signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830.
by David Robb
In 1830, it was called "The Indian Removal Act." Today it's called "ethnic cleansing," which is considered a crime against humanity by the International Criminal Court. But for nearly 100 years it was the stated policy of every U.S. presidents from Washington to Grant – including Lincoln.
Ethnic cleansing was codified into U.S. law in 1830 when President Andrew Jackson asked Congress to pass the Indian Removal Act. This allowed him to legally relocate all Native Americans who were then living east of the Mississippi to the west side of the river. The result: The Trail of Tears, in which as many as 10,000 Indians died during the forced march westward.
To this day, many Native Americans will not carry $20 bills.
Sunny & Claus von Bulow
by Michael Thomas Barry
On December 21, 1980, wealthy socialite Martha "Sunny" Crawford von Bulow is found in a coma at her Newport, Rhode Island mansion, from what initially appeared to be an insulin overdose. Following a long investigation, Sunny's husband, Claus von Bulow, was charged with two counts of attempted murder and was convicted in a sensational trial in 1982. His conviction was later overturned, and Claus was acquitted at a second trial in 1985.

Qt is a comprehensive, object-oriented development framework that enables development of high-performance, cross-platform rich-client and server-side applications. When you implement a program with Qt, you can run it on the X Window System (Unix/X11), Apple Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows NT/9x/2000/XP by simply compiling the source code for the platform you want. Qt is the basis for the KDE desktop environment, and is also used in numerous commercial applications such as Google Earth, Skype for Linux, and Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Wine is an implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. It does not require Microsoft Windows, but can use native Windows DLLs if they are available. It provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes.
TCPDF is a PHP class for generating PDF documents without requiring external extensions. TCPDF supports all ISO page formats and custom page formats, custom margins and units of measure, UTF-8 Unicode, RTL languages, HTML, barcodes, TrueTypeUnicode, TrueType, OpenType, Type1, and CID-0 fonts, images, graphic functions, clipping, bookmarks, JavaScript, forms, page compression, digital signatures, and encryption.
The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop an all-in-one Internet application suite. It contains an Internet browser, email and newsgroup client with an included Web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat, and Web development tools, and is sure to appeal to advanced users, Web developers, and corporate users. It uses much of the Mozilla source code powering such successful siblings as Firefox, Thunderbird, Camino, Sunbird, and Miro.
GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries.

Photo Gallery | Downtown welcomes the new year by dropping 10-foot guitar at midnight
New Year's Eve on Beale Street is just days away, and that means welcoming 2013 with the biggest party of 2012.
A 10-foot guitar will drop from from a 10-story scaffold at midnight December 31, and that's just a fraction of the fun.
The Hard Rock café will host 13 musical acts in addition to all the other live music offered at establishments along Beale.
Organizers said you won't find a celebration like this anywhere else.
"New York, they drop a ball, this is the birthplace of rock and roll. This is the home of the blues, we're gonna drop a 10-foot guitar from 100 feet in front of 50,000 or more partiers on Beale Street," said Julien Salley, Jr. from Hard Rock Café. Event details here.
Bar owners say they will aggressively be checking Id's and making sure those of age are drinking responsibly.
Also, remember to drink responsibly and have a designated driver or call a cab. Here is a list of taxis services in Memphis:
- Metro Cab, 901-322-2222
- Premier Transportation Services, 800-796-7750

Thanks Tumblr-ers!
Saw a photo of my bow ties getting a lot of love on tumblr the last few days, mostly thanks to The Style Buff, thanks!
Saw a photo of my bow ties getting a lot of love on tumblr the last few days, mostly thanks to The Style Buff, thanks!
Just came across a nice little shout out on the Joe Button page. "Dress Geek Chic from these Online Stores!" points to Toms, Warby Parker, Topman and Smith Brand. Nice company, thanks guys!
Friend of Smith Brand Dylan Ousley just wrote a wonderful piece on his blog about his growing bow tie collection.
Documenting the process of tying a bow tie is tricky, so kudos to Dylan for such great shots!
Funny how much stuff it takes to shoot a few photos of bow ties.
Charles Eames perfectly executes the disheveled bow tie.
We put these together on special order today for @mathewsandoval. Still a bit to warm in LA to be wearing a wool bow tie to a wedding, so these cotton ties should do the trick.
Cheers & Happy National Bow Tie Day! We have officially opened our web store today. As a very (very) small business, we count on the quality and integrity of our products as much as we do the relationships and strengths of our wonderful community. For all those out there who have helped us get off the ground, I hope we can thank you enough.
We are looking forward to the organic and natural growth of both our products and the future of Smith Brand.
Friend of Smith Brand, Mike Bruny just posted this wonderful video on his blog in regards to tying a bow tie. He is attempting to pull this off while using only his monitor as a mirror, no easy feat as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks again for the shout out, that pink tie looks dynamite! Find more bow tie videos from Mike at www.ambassadorbruny.com

Chinese Squawking Chicken Articles
First a bridesmaid…
Mila Kunis was part of her brother's wedding the other day. The bridesmaid dresses were blush pink and strapless. Definitely not something she'd wear on a red carpet…but it wasn't about her. And I feel like Mila's the kind of girl who knows when it's not about her. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake's holiday spirit
What's your holiday style? Are you a Mariah Carey? Mimi may have taken over Christmas but she does keep it pretty traditional (aside from her tits). It's red, white, and gold but never green (see Dean's rules to a Mimi Christmas here Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Duana asked me last night how my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, reacted to the announcement of my upcoming book about her, Listen To The Squawking Chicken. Well, she came over yesterday when I was at work to drop off some ginseng soup. Normally she doesn't come inside because she blames my dogs for getting their fur all over her clean clothes. But she had to pee and used the upstairs bathroom, my bathroom. I left in a rush in the morning and it was a hair wash day so there was long black hair all over the tub. The only thing she said to Jacek during the entire visit was, "If you're not going to clean your house every day you should hire a cleaning service". And then she hobbled her way out the door. I wrote a book, but the Squawking Chicken still thinks I'm a filthy pig. Read Full Intro
I wrote a book
Shameless self-promotion here but this was the deadline I've been referring to. I was writing a book. I WROTE A BOOK! The book is called "Listen to the Squawking Chicken: When Mother Knows Best, What's a Daughter To Do? A Memoir (Sort Of)". So now you know who the true star is here: the Chinese Squawking Chicken. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It was Poo Day yesterday on The Social. Yeah so it took four weeks. Just four weeks and we were able to feature my favourite subject on the show and talk about how my poo comes out in pellets – and demonstrated their different pellet shapes with play-dough – because I'm chronically constipated. The suggestion: coconut oil. Am supposed to be starting the day with a spoonful of it. And I picked up my new favourite expression: Brown Star. Have you used your Brown Star today?
Today is my 40th birthday! I really hope I get to use my Brown Star on my 40th birthday. It's a milestone number. Which is why I'm making such a big ass deal of it. But mostly, what's great about my birthday is that it's a day before Gwyneth's. Read Full Intro
Posh covers China Vogue and at Wimbledon
Wenn, Clive Brunskill/ Getty
What's the Anna Wintour policy on Vogue international covers? How long must the gap be between a Vogue cover in China and the cover of US Vogue? Victoria Beckham covers the August issue of China Vogue. The US Vogue September cover already belongs to Jennifer Lawrence. That leaves 3 months if Posh is to make her life's dream. Full Story
Miley's family drama
Tish Cyrus, Miley's mother, filed for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus 10 days ago. Around that time, Miley tweeted at her dad, apparently because she couldn't reach him by private communication, social networking being her last resort. Then, last week, the Cyrus family was photographed Full Story
Now THIS is fluffy
Written by Jacek I've basically ordered Lainey to go to sleep for a few hours at this stage in the day cause I can sense she's about to crash. More from her to come later in the day but for now I'm stepping in for one or two words. Lainey might have already mentioned this but if she did I missed it. Full Story
Now that's a coat
It's Burberry, of course it is. The new Burberry is not for my mother. She has a lot to say about this. She's has two Burberry trenchcoats, a navy long one that's 20 years old, and a shorter khaki about 15 years old, both in perfect condition. It was great quality. Or, as she says it, "goot colly", translation: good quality. Full Story
Susan doesn't need a Third Lip
For those new to the site: We Asians look young for a long time. I still get carded for alcohol sometimes. But the thing about Asians is that as soon as 60 comes around, it's old and fast and overnight. One day you go to bed and it's all good. Wake up the next morning and 70 years of your life is written all over your face. Full Story
Hot Friday Hot Harry
It is so f-cking hot here in Toronto. And this is Hot Harry on a Horse not on a horse at a wedding in London with his brother and also Kate Middleton. I was married on a Friday. My mother consulted a feng shui master for the date. And that Friday was deemed a fortuitous day according to our birthdays and birth times. Full Story
Leather pants and platforms
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning yesterday on the set of The Runaways working that old school style. High waist leather pants. Please. If I put those on I'd be the Chinese Porny Simpson. Kristen however looks amazing. There's a cute, cute, CUTE body under there. As for those platforms, my mother had a pair. Full Story
Is that the only reason?
JailBait Miley Cyrus is currently on some kind of promotional tour – book, movie, virginity – and was on the radio yesterday with Detroit's Mojo in the Morning on WKQI when she was asked when she and that f-cking 20 year old loser she's dating Justin Gaston are moving in together. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I called my mother this morning. It's her birthday. These are the rules: I call her on MY birthday to thank her for giving me life. I call her on HER birthday to give thanks that she is alive.
Me: Happy Birthday Mom!
Squawking Chicken: (cackling) Today your favourite day of year!
Me: Sure. What do you have planned?
Squawking Chicken: what you buy me?
Me: you can tell me what you want when I come home next week.
Squawking Chicken: why you not think about it?
Me: you keep changing your mind, Mother.
Squawking Chicken: I go to Casino Rama today. If I no win, you pay me.
Me: Fine. Penny slots, right?
Squawking Chicken: My birthday. Why I play penny slots?
Me: because that's what you normally play.
Squawking Chicken (switching to Cantonese now): You put my birthday on a budget? Do you know Mommy almost died carrying you around? Do you know what it felt like, you were 9 pounds. All because your dad's side of the family gave you thick legs. The early bird casino shuttle is leaving soon. I have to go.
Me: um, ok. Have fun.
My mother doesn't believe in goodbye. As for those of who keep asking us – is she really like that? Put it this way: most people who were at my wedding can't remember what I was wearing. Everyone at my wedding remembers what SHE was wearing. Today is my favourite day of the year.
Twilight sighted all over Vancouver. Photos and details to come. Fangirls gone crazy on Canada's West Coast. And we have months to go…
Monday – am blogging all day, still sniffling, but Porny's making it better. New Jessica Simpson pics! And Matt Damon's junk encased in spandex.
SCROLL DOWN for photos of a sassy Miss Zahara and her sister posted late on Friday.
Yours in gossip,
PS. The photo issue from last week should be resolved. And the photos are also loading much quicker. If you continue to experience problems, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I almost did not get the rug as others had said that the rug looked orange, but it is fabulous. The color compliments the brown and really brings out the colors. I absolutely love this rug and is a steal for the price. I am going to order the Chocolate and gold for my family room. If you want a gorgeous rug this is it!!! The delivery was so fast that I almost could not believe it.
I ordered the chocolate/gold rug for our living room and it looks great! The colors are very true to the pictures and I love the pattern. It is modern but at the same time very versatile. Good quality for the price. I will order all my rugs for overstock!
I'm a newby and this was my 1st Overstock purchase and ordering a rug was a big gamble. Fortunately I'm familiar with this rug line and the construction so it wasn't a completely blind purchase. I'm in the flooring biz and I was shocked at how fricking fast my rug came and with no issues. If I could get this kind of service from my vendors I'd be thrilled. I found other reviews very helpful in making my final selection.
Bought this rug several weeks ago for my living room. Looks great on the honey colored oak floor. Have chocolate brown leather sectional sofa so it complements perfectly. I was thinking this rug would be cheaply made but surprisingly it is very good quality, especially considering the price I paid for it. Put a good pad underneath and it is quite soft and luxurious to walk on. Cleans up nicely with vacuuming. The brown/gold combination with the large pattern is modern/contemporary. Overstock rocks!
I love the rug. I was nervous about ordering online and not seeing it first, but couldn't be happier. The brown and good is a chocolate brown and gold/tan. Very pretty!
It's very strange to order a rug online. I kept hoping color would be at least close to the photo. Color is perfect, better than the photo. I put a pad under it to keep it from moving. I'm very happy with my purchase, looks great in my livingroom. BTW, delivery was very fast, I was impressed.
This rug is beautiful. It's warm and cozy and so very soft and you cannot absolutely cannot beat the cost for the luxury and size.
I like the rug. I just wish it was not so busy with the design. I think it makes my room look smaller because it looks so busy. Otherwise the design is nice.
Sept. 2013 - We purchased 4 different sizes of this rug (black & cream) and love them all! They are well crafted and beautiful. A great accent to our new dark hardwood floors. They came quickly and were rolled up so there were no folds in them, which was nice! We would recommend these rugs without reservation.
very orange. nice size and quality. wish it was a little more red but i was earned about that lol.

MICHAEL CASEY, AP Sports Writer
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Third-seeded Tomas Berdych reached the quarterfinals of the Dubai Championships on Wednesday, overcoming a gritty challenge from former No. 3-ranked Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 7-6 (5).
Berdych is one of only three seeds left in the tournament. Eighth-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia was upset by Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1.
In the other early match, Frenchman Richard Gasquet overcame a 5-2 deficit in the second set to beat Ukrainian qualifier Sergei Bubka 6-2, 7-5.
The seventh-ranked Berdych appeared to be on his way to an easy victory, breaking the Russian to go up 5-1 in the first set. But Davydenko won two straight games before the Czech closed out the set.
Davydenko, who had several missed volleys and errant forehands in the first set, settled down in the second. He had two sets points at 5-4, but Berdych saved the first with an ace and the second when Davydenko overhit a forehand.
Berdych failed to serve out the match after breaking for a 6-5 lead, but won two straight points from 5-5 in the tiebreaker to win.
"It was a quite big test for me," Berdych said. "Especially against Nikolay, it's tough because he likes to play fast. He likes to play long rallies, and he's very solid from the baseline."
Davydenko was dejected after the loss, saying it was the latest blow to his confidence.
"It's really difficult now (the) situation because I lost in the first round of the Australian Open and Rotterdam, Marseille," he said. "For me, it's important now to find my game."

Import of motor vehicles into the CR
IMPORT OF MOTOR VEHICLES INTO THE CZECH REPUBLIC, REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION Prior to registration of a motor vehicle imported into the Czech Republic the vehicle must be inspected by the Technical Inspection Unit. The certificate issued by this Unit remains valid for three months for the
Prior to registration of a motor vehicle imported into the Czech Republic the vehicle must be inspected by the Technical Inspection Unit. The certificate issued by this Unit remains valid for three months for the purpose of registration.
When importing five or less vehicles of the same type per year, an individual inspection is required for each vehicle based on the request of the individual importer (usually a person). If more than five vehicles are imported per year, the inspection of the respective type of vehicle is executed at the request of the producer or importer (usually a legal entity) and no further inspections are necessary for import of vehicles of the same type as those previously approved.
If the vehicle meetes the requirements set forth by Regulation No. 102/1995 Coll., it may then be registred by the Transport Inspectorate of the Czech Republic. The basic requirements for the registration of motor vehicles in the Czech Republic are:
- proper technical condition including a low emission rate (a catalytic converter is not mandatory)
- technical specification of the vehicle
- vehicle operating manual.
Various special requirements apply for registration in the Czech Republic such as side-view mirrors on both sides of the vehicle, a lockable gasoline tank, a steering wheel on the left hand side only, etc. It is highly recommended to contact the Transport Inspectorate in the respective city or the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior before the import of a vehicle into the Czech Republic takes place. The address is:
Policie České republiky, Správa hl. m. Prahy
Sekce služby dopravní policie: Kongresová 2, 140 00 Praha 4, Czech Republic, telephone: 011-420-2-6142 5383, or 011-420-2-6141 1111, fax: 011-420-2-6118 5336
The registration of a vehicle is not valid until its technical conditions meet all the requirements as mentioned above. Registration enables the owner to travel abroad with the vehicle.
The possibility of import duty exemption for vehicles shipped to the Czech Republic in some cases is governed by Decree No. 93/1993 Coll. and the basic condition requires that the car in question is used by the owner moving to the Czech Republic at least six months before its shipment to the Czech Republic.
The registration of vehicles imported by foreigners into the Czech Republic is not mandatory providing if the vehicle does not stay (is not driven) in the Czech Republic for a period exceeding one year.
Such vehicles will be cleared by customs for temporary importation duty-free on the condition that they serve to meet the personal needs of the persons during their stay in the Czech Republic and will be exported from the country upon their departure.

The junction of the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans is littered with the 700 islands and 2,400 coral cays of The Bahamas that offer North American travelers easy access to sparkling beaches, gleaming megaresorts and quaint West Indian-style inns. A reef that stretches 760 miles from Andros to Long Island offers world-class diving of all types, including shallow reefs, wrecks, blue holes, walls and shark dives. Many divers choose to dive from live-aboard boats, which allow them to sample a number of islands during one vacation.
Check out Caradonna Worldwide Dive Adventures to book your next dive vacation.
The Bahamas are made up of many different islands with their own unique diving experiences. Andros is home to the world's third-longest barrier reef, which protects the entire 140-mile-long coastline. The reef has tunnels, caves, coral gardens and many wrecks fro divers to explore. The Blue Holes of Andros lead to complex underwater cave systems that house giant stalactites and stalagmites. Bimini is home to the wreck of the Saponam, which was used for target practice in World War II and has many holes for divers to swim in and out of. Bimini is also home to the ruins of the road that some scientists believe may reveal evidence of ancient Atlantis. Eluthers/Harbour Island has a razor-sharp reef named Devil's Backbone that has claimed several ships leading to many wrecks for diver to explore. A rare underwater site on the island is an underwater train wreck.
With her understated luxury and uncompromised safety standards, Aqua Cat offers a 110% quality experience as well as a quantity of diving that is unparalleled! This state of the art triple deck catamaran vessel accommodates up to 22 guests in huge staterooms that are unprecedented in the liveaboard dive travel industry.
Who enjoys a Blackbeard's Cruise? Shipmates are usually a motley crew of interesting folks from all over. You won't know if the diver sitting next to you is a CEO or an average "Joe." And the best part is ... no one cares.
Big Game PADI Dive Center bringing you the "best in class" scuba diving to the Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina Dive Center. Add to this Devito Bullard our local PADI Dive Instructor & Matt Stuart, Captain of the Bimini Blue.
Stuart Cove, Shark Wrangler and yearly feature star of Discovery Channel's Shark Week, is proud to announce the opening of his newest boutique dive operation offering dives with Tiger Sharks at Tiger Beach, West End, Grand Bahama Island! Until now, the only way to dive with Tiger Sharks was on a dive liveaboard, but Stuart Cove has changed all that with his resort based operation at Old Bahama Bay, West End, Grand Bahama Island.

By Caitlin Dineen Staff writer
Fayetteville police and scrap metal brokers said a state law change that took effect Oct. 1 should help reduce metal theft in the state.
Lee Goldstein, regional operations manager at OmniSource Corp. on Gidden Road in Fayetteville, said scrap metal dealers cannot look at metal and know it is stolen. There's no way for dealers to know something is stolen until police notify them of reports of theft.
"The problem with metal theft is that it's unindentifiable," Goldstein said.
Although state laws were last modified two years ago, the purpose of the newest Metal Theft Prevention Act is to further discourage the crime.
Under state law, people looking to sell old scrap metal must provide valid identification. Under the change to the law, sellers now must have their picture taken with the product they sell.
Fayetteville police detective Paul Davis, who works with the department's major crimes unit, said he has seen a decrease in the number of metal thefts reported.
"I used to get reports almost every day about air-conditioning units being dismantled and the core taken," Davis said. "Sometimes, you'd get several in one day. You don't see that near as much anymore."
Copper from air-conditioning units and other sources is a favorite among criminals, Goldstein said.
With the updated state law, copper has become a little more difficult to purchase from potential sellers, he said.
In certain cases, businesses that buy scrap metal can only do so if the seller has proper documentation identifying him as a professional with access to those types of materials. That law is a key way for buyers to identify what could be stolen goods without accusing someone of stealing.
Goldstein said another red flag for his business is someone bringing in new electrical wires or coils on the spool and new construction equipment.
Davis said most area scrap yards have cooperated with police.
Under the updated law, police have the right to stop by and check yards to ensure they are complying with the newest laws whenever they want, Davis said.
"We try to go by there periodically and see what they're doing and just observe," he said. "If they're missing something, we let them know."
Mike Fulk, general manager at OmniSource in Fayetteville, said police have kept open communication with area scrap yards to let them know what items they may be looking for.
"A lot of police departments will notify us if things have been stolen," he said.
Cumberland County sheriff detectives with the property crimes unit announced homes, day care centers and places of worship in Hope Mills have recently been targeted for metal theft.
Detectives said backflow preventers, which are part metal and part plastic, have been taken from several buildings, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Davis said, overall, he likes the changes to the law and thinks there may be a few more changes in the future. Until then, he said, he is happy that legislators gave law enforcement more leverage with what charges they can bring against criminals.
Previously, criminals faced misdemeanor larceny charges for whatever they stole. Now, if they cause damage to the property they steal from, they also could face felony charges.
Property damage valued between $1,000 and $10,000 could result in a Class H felony. If convicted, an offender could be sentenced to between five and 20 months in prison.
Damage estimated to be more than $10,000 would be a Class F felony, carrying a sentence of one year and one month to two years and 11 months in prison.
Goldstein said the goal of the law is to stop metal theft as often as possible. If buyers can't buy it, thieves should stop stealing it, he said.
While the law is thought to be a step in the right direction, some area business owners said they do not know if it will be entirely effective in halting criminal activity.
One of those owners is Dorothy McClenny, who purchased First Stop Core & Battery in June. She took over what was formerly known as Mike's Core & Battery on Drake Street.
"If people are doing it and already stealing, it's my opinion that they're going to continue doing it," she said.
McClenny said there has been one change in the law that has had a negative impact on her business: For any sales more than $100, the scrap yard has to issue the seller a check.
"Some people don't want checks," she said.

Tickets for Music Festivals are sometimes mislabeled by the seller.
Some tickets are for a single day's entry, and some are for multiple days.
Please double-check your tickets before you buy.
SeatGeek's Deal Score is a rating that determines whether a ticket is a bargain or a ripoff. The higher the number, the better the deal. The worst options have the classification Awful Deal, with classifications proceeding all the way up to Amazing Deal (Deal Score of 88 or above). Amazing Deals are exceedingly rare--only 5% of events have one.
When buying tickets for any event on SeatGeek, focus on the tickets with the highest Deal Scores and you can be confident that you're getting a bargain.
For some events on SeatGeek, there are over 10,000 tickets available. It can be quite difficult to sort through all of those tickets and identify the best deals.
This is further complicated by the fact that, when buying tickets for live events, you cannot shop based on price alone. A courtside ticket for $50 is probably a better deal than a bleacher seat for $30, but this might not be apparent if you sorted by price.
Deal Score enables you to make apples-to-apples comparisons among tickets that are in different parts of an arena.
If considering going to one of several events, Deal Score, is also helpful for determining which event has the absolute best deal.

To view the link you have to RegisterAvril Lavigne has been 'off the radar' in terms of the world of showbiz recently, however she's now returned from the hole that she's been hiding in it seems and has been spotted sporting a rather dodgy shaved hair do'.
The singer was spotted with the new haircut whilst out for dinner at Madeo in West Hollywood and it seems that the awful cut may be the result of a rather drunken night out...or so we hope.
We just have one question for you Avril - whyyyyy??
Meanwhile, despite recent rumours that Marilyn Manson is dating Avril, the star has told Entertainmentwise that he is not dating her and has said that 'he may have f**ked her' but he 'can't remember'. Ouch!
Speaking about dealing with rumours and the speculation that constantly surrounds his superstar status, Manson said: "Yesterday I read that I was dating Avril Lavigne and I was like 'F**k I wouldn't do that, she's Canadian. No offence to Canada. I know her, I accidentally shaved her head...but, you never know where these stories come from."
The 'Tainted Love' star then added: "Sometimes they have some sort of valid truth to them. Did I f**k Avril Lavigne? Who knows...I can't remember, no. Sorry Avril!"
That would be a rather odd pair though, but how Avril would be able to go from dating the hunk that is Brody Jenner to dating Marilyn Manson would be too much for us to handle.
What do you think of Avril's new barnet? Check out the pics below...
