It was all about new prizes, new catchphrases and history repeating itself in Wednesday's episode. Oh, and AC Slater was there, too.
The 12 ladies tried to let their personalities shine in an interview with "Extra's" Mario Lopez, then had a photo shoot on stilts — literally.
In a first in "Top Model" history, the girl with the worst photo wasn't cut. Such is the magic of winning immunity during a challenge. Because of this little twist, we said goodbye to one of our favorite models. Curse your devilish ways, Tyra!
Models, meet Kristin
"The Hills" star Kristin Cavallari surprised the models at their home and, shockingly enough, didn't start a fight or try to steal their boyfriends. Instead, they talked about haters (Kristin's specialty!) and "being who you are." Being who Kristin is meant not showing up again until panel.
Extra, Extra
At The Grove, Mario Lopez interviewed the girls in two groups and asked the hard-hitting questions, such as why Alexandria has a tough exterior and if Isis is comfortable talking about her transistion from male to female.
My question for Mario? If he stil misses his pet lizard, Artie.
While Allison and the rest of her group shined, Lisa overpowered those she was paired with with an abundance of high-fives (but, really, is there such a thing?) and talking over them. The winning group was safe from elimination during panel, which has never been done before in previous cycles. Way to mix it up, guys.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's super models!
Because playing on models fears is just so much fun, the girls wore stilts — and weird 80s meets "Matrix" unitards — during their photo shoot. Bianca reminded everyone that she's a big cry baby afraid of heights and was going to have a problem getting a good picture. The girls were put in pairs just for, you know, fun.
Before her shoot, Bianca went to the one place any girl can get in a good cry — the ladies room. But girl pulled it together in the end.
Alexandria was also impressive, taking risks with falling and putting her legs in the air (like she just don't care).
Camille (safe) and Isis (unsafe) were blah. I still keep forgetting that Camille is even on the show and Isis — for some unknown reason — wore metallic silver leggings, a crime in itself. Both couldn't deliver, though Camille was slightly worse than her partner.
Kayla, who I normally love and was safe, also fell flat this week. I have an inkling Kayla's time will be coming to an end in the next few weeks unless something miraculous happens.
The girls safe from elimination seemed to give the best and the worst photos of the bunch and those on the chopping block fell somewhere in the middle.
The worse were safe
Kristin was back for panel in her normal tank top and "I live at the beach, remember?" attire. First up were those who didn't have anything to fear followed by the other group.
Surprisingly, none of the models were awful, just average. But average is what makes girls go home.
Panel also brought us another little gem into the "Top Model" vernacular: booty tooch.
What's a booty tooch? I'm glad you asked! You know when you push your butt out and up so it's not slutty but just "look at what I'm packing!"? That's the tooch. And, apparently, that's what got Allison called first. Well, that and the adorable way she said "tooch."
Kayla and Camille had the worst pictures of the 12 ladies, but since they weren't up for elimination, weren't called last.
Alexandria and her gravity-defying legs was called first out of the second bunch. Camille and Isis were in the bottom two.
Now, I may have screamed "DON'T LET HER GO, TYRA!" at my TV screen, but that didn't do any good as Isis said adios. And, yes, you did experience some cycle 11 deja vu as Isis also went home rather early into the competition that time around, too.
If Tyra and the gang decide to do "America's Next Top Model" all-stars part deux, Isis is sure to be on the list.
Fun fact!
Latest TV
Isis turns 26 on Saturday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

A standalone script is any script that is not bound to a Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms file or Google Sites. These scripts appear among your files in Google Drive.
Creating a standalone script
The easiest way to create a standalone script is to visit
If this is the first time you've been to
script.google.com, you'll be
redirected to a page that introduces Apps Script and its developer dashboard.
In that case, click + New script to proceed to the script editor.
Alternatively, you can create standalone scripts from Google Drive after a few steps of setup:
- Go to Google Drive and click New > More > Connect more apps.
- When the "Connect apps to Drive" window appears, type "script" into the search box and press Enter.
- Click Connect next to the listing for Google Apps Script.
Now that you've connected the app, you can create a script by selecting New > More > Google Apps Script.
Running a standalone script
After writing a script, there are two ways to run a function from the script editor:
- Select the Run menu, followed by the name of the function you want to execute.
- Choose the name of the function you want to execute from the select box in the toolbar, then click ▶.
Using a standalone script
Many standalone scripts are utility scripts — for example, to search your Google Drive for old files whose name contains "untitled" so that you can delete them.
A standalone script can also be deployed as a web app or set up to run automatically from an installable trigger.
Finally, it is now possible for add-ons to be published from standalone scripts.

One of our post-doctoral researchers, Jen Silva, has a very interesting op-Ed in Sunday's New York Times that comes out of her research talking to young people in Lowell, MA and Richmond, VA about the challenges for working-class youth today.
In a working-class neighborhood in Lowell, Mass., in early 2009, I sat across the table from Diana, then 24, in the kitchen of her mother's house. Diana had planned to graduate from college, marry, buy a home in the suburbs and have kids, a dog and a cat by the time she was 30. But she had recently dropped out of a nearby private university after two years of study and with nearly $80,000 in student loans. Now she worked at Dunkin' Donuts.
'With college,' she explained, 'I would have had to wait five years to get a degree, and once I get that, who knows if I will be working and if I would find something I wanted to do. I don't want to be a cop or anything. I don't know what to do with it. My manager says some people are born to make coffee, and I guess I was born to make coffee.'
Young working-class men and women like Diana are trying to figure out what it means to be an adult in a world of disappearing jobs, soaring education costs and shrinking social support networks. Today, only 20 percent of men and women between 18 and 29 are married. They live at home longer, spend more years in college, change jobs more frequently and start families later.
For more affluent young adults, this may look a lot like freedom. But for the hundred-some working-class 20- and 30-somethings I interviewed between 2008 and 2010 in Lowell and Richmond, Va., at gas stations, fast-food chains, community colleges and temp agencies, the view is very different.
Lowell and Richmond embody many of the structural forces, like deindustrialization and declining blue-collar jobs, that frame working-class young people's attempts to come of age in America today. The economic hardships of these men and women, both white and black, have been well documented. But often overlooked are what the sociologists Richard Sennett and Jonathan Cobb in 1972 called their 'hidden injuries' - the difficult-to-measure social costs borne by working-class youths as they struggle to forge stable and meaningful adult lives.
The stories of young people growing up today from different walks of life will figure prominent in our forthcoming book on the growing youth opportunity gap in the US.
For those anxious to get their fix now of these stories, read Jen Silva's book, "Coming Up Short: Working-Class Adulthood in an Age of Uncertainty" (Oxford University Press, 2013).

Sale gives glimpse of how difficult he can be
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chris Sale was the first White Sox starter to the mound for live batting practice Wednesday at Camelback Ranch, eventually throwing two sessions.
Judging by the reaction of Avisail Garcia, Jose Abreu and Gordon Beckham in the box against the White Sox ace, Sale might already be ahead of schedule in 2014 preparation.
Of course, pitchers being well ahead of hitters who aren't officially scheduled to report until Thursday might have factored into some of the perplexed looks attached to Sale offerings.
"There was a lot of take practice. I know it was supposed to be live. There were real good takes for everybody," said a smiling White Sox manager Robin Ventura, acknowledging the toughness of facing Sale in this first session.
"They go out there and do their best just to give the pitcher some looks of somebody standing in there, but I don't think anybody is ready to start facing Chris before we even start," Ventura said. "It's good to go out there and see it. You don't have to swing or do anything. Get your eyes used to it."
Sale said that it was good just to get a feel of having a body in there, seeing how they react, throwing a few breaking balls and getting feedback from them on his pitches. His arm felt good, he felt loose and he'll be ready to throw another live BP in two days.
It won't take Sale too much preparation to be ready for the Cactus League opening start on Feb. 28 against the Dodgers, with a second straight Opening Day start most likely on the horizon for March 31.
"A handful of bullpens, a couple live BPs and I should be ready to go," Sale said. "I should have enough feel to get out there and hit the ground running a little bit and not take too much time getting ready."

NEWS- Dumbing down? Proposed changes rile county parents
Libraries are usually reserved for quiet studying and reading, but on Monday, November 27, a group of parents disrupted the calm of the library at Albemarle High School. As Don Vale, the director of curriculum and instruction for Albemarle County, presented proposed changes to the high school curriculum, angry AHS parents accused him of trying to "dumb down" their kids' education.
"You're lowering standards," said one.
"You're raising a group of children who can't meet deadlines," said another.
"You're just changing numbers around to make it look like students have done better," said yet another.
"You're taking away lessons for life, because there's an agenda," said a fourth.
Prompting the outcry are proposals to overhaul weighted grade point averages, lower the minimum passing grade, allowing students to substitute Standards of Learning test scores for final exam grades, and mandating that any failing grade on a test or assignment be designated "incomplete" until the student redoes the work and passes.
Vale says the proposals– suggested by a steering committee he chaired– are designed to "close the achievement gap" between the best- and worst-performing high school students in the system.
"If you look at SOL scores among low-income, English-as second-language, minority, and special-education populations, you'll find there's inequity," he says. "We're trying to increase rigor and increase access to higher level classes."
But the parents aren't the only ones with a position on the proposals. As sleuthing County attorneys recently discovered, the State Code of Virginia addresses the issues. Vale announced at the beginning of the meeting that the committee's initial plan to do away with weighted GPAs died a'borning thanks to a state requirement that all advanced placement (AP) courses be weighted for computing the student's grade point average.
That rule is something for which Western Albemarle High School senior and steering committee member Liza Dunsmore is thankful.
"Weighted GPA and class rank is on every single college application," says Dunsmore, who is currently applying for admission to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UVA, Columbia, and Washington and Lee. "If you're not highly ranked in your class, you're not even considered competitive at some schools."
One proposal still under consideration is changing the county's grade range from the current seven points to ten, meaning an A would represent grades of 90-100 instead of the current 93-100; a D would drop from 69-76 to 60-69.
Vale says the move is to be in line with grading scales used at UVA and PVCC, where some students take advanced courses. Standards would not be affected by the change, he says.
"The various groups we've talked with, including the teacher groups, say that quality work is quality work, and an A is going to be an A," he says. "I'd be very surprised if you saw a change in the distribution of grades."
Parent Alison Wilson suspects the change is part of an effort by the County is to fudge its figures.
"I think they're doing this so they can have the same numbers as Loudon County and Fairfax County schools," says Wilson, who has children at Albemarle High and Sutherland Middle. "This is the easy way to do it, since they're failing at doing it the hard way, which is motivating students to learn."
Another contentious proposal would allow students to substitute their SOL scores in place of a final exam, whether that student is taking a class at the honors level or the standard level.
Dunsmore says this would short-change some high achievers. "On the first day of my AP English class last year, we were given the SOL from a previous year, and all of the kids in the class passed it– no problem," she says.
Vale concedes that the SOL "does not reflect the honors level curriculum" but claims the change would motivate students in lower-level classes to step up their efforts.
"We've done this at Monticello High School," he says, "and using the SOL as a substitute has caused some students to work harder, and the scores have gone up."
MHS senior and steering committee member Britt Berringer says the effect has not been limited to standard and practical level classes.
"To get an A, you have to have an advanced pass rate, which means you can miss only one or two problems," says Berringer, an honors student. "It forces honors students to buckle down and take it seriously."
At Monday night's meeting, after Vale touted the benefits of Monticello's pilot program, another principal felt compelled to speak.
"I have to pipe up here," said AHS principal Matthew Haas. "We keep talking about Monticello, but we're the best school in the county. Last year, our SOL scores went up in 10 out of 11 tests without this. This is territory where you have to tread very carefully before implementing it in all the schools."
As controversial as those measures are, the most heated debate might hover over the proposal to have students repeat any failed test until they earn a passing grade. Vale says this is part of the county's commitment to leave no child behind, but critics decry the measure as discouraging students from making their best effort on the first try, knowing that any failing grade won't count.
"Say one student gets an F and another gets a D," one parent told Vale during the meeting. "Now say that student who got an F gets a C the next time. You're hurting the student who got the D."
Vale says he can't envision such a scenario. "The premise that a student would fail intentionally the first time because he knows he can take it again doesn't make sense," he says.
How soon could these proposals come to a vote? According to Vale, Albemarle superintendent Pam Moran is performing "ongoing research," and she will ultimately decide what goes to the school board for a vote in 2007. If enacted, the changes could apply to next year's incoming class of freshmen.
Of the vehement reactions he's received from parents at meetings at the three high schools, Vale says he will take the feedback back to Moran and points out that the steering committee was composed of faculty, administrators, parents, and students. But ultimately he believes his committee has made good recommendations.
"If this isn't best practice, backed by research, it won't go forward," Vale says. "But I'm determined to keep coming back here until we show that it is."
Albemarle director of curriculum and instruction Don Vale says the changes are meant to "close the achievement gap" between the best- and worst-performing high school students.

MARSEILLE, France, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Fifth-seeded Richard Gasquet dropped just two games Tuesday in a first-round win at the Open 13 tennis tournament in France.
Gasquet rolled over Go Soeda 6-0, 6-2 in 63 minutes. Gasquet cashed in 5-of-6 break-point chances while saving all seven that Soeda managed. Gasquet won two-thirds of the points in the match after losing a mere nine in the first set.
He was the only seeded player on Tuesday's schedule. The top four seeds, including No. 1 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, had first-round byes.
Only one match went three sets Tuesday and that was when Karol Beck capped the day's play with a 7-6 (7-2), 2-6, 6-3 win over Paul-Henri Mathieu. His only break in the match came in the third set.
Nicolas Mahut had 12 aces and three breaks in a 6-3, 6-4 win over Arnaud Clement while Nikolay Davydenko was a 6-1, 7-5 winner over Andreas Beck and Igor Kunitsyn topped Roberto Bautista-Agut 6-4, 6-4.
Albano Olivetti beat Matthias Bachinger 6-4, 6-3 and David Goffin was up 6-2, 1-0 when Adrian Mannarino retired. Olivetti next faces second-seeded Mardy Fish and Goffin meets No. 3-seeded Janko Tipsarevic in the second round.

Does upcoming multiplayer shooter Hawken need a story? It's multiplayer-only, so maybe not. I know I liked it better when I could pretend it was just based on some obscure, bleak manga where the only things that mattered were money and staying alive.
This rather expensive-looking trailer - directed by Jerry O'Flaherty, the art director on Gears of War (and former director of the cancelled Thundercats movie) - means my fantasy is no more. Instead, there are moody men with moody music and talk of the "soul of the planet".

Herds of cats roam the post-apocalyptic future in the short Vermin. And nothing says "Goodbye weekend!" like two grown men pretending to be cat people. Well done. In other news, Miley Cyrus readies to haunt your dreams.
Dean Francis' short starts off in a city overrun by cats. The local exterminator discovers a feral homeless cat boy, and takes him in. Murder follows. First few minutes are NSFW, kind of.
Good news, no one! Miley Cyrus might be getting her own YA book series movie franchise. Huzzaaaaacrap. The film will be based off the books by Lisa McMann. The series is called Wake and it's all about a girl, Miley, who can enter your dreams. Pretty excellent if you have dreams like me, which means we'll all be riding unicorns across a giant chocolate chip cookie. Sadly, in Miley's world she enters nightmares and then has to solve the mysteries behind it. Paramount Pictures and MTV Films will be making the film.
Max Neptune and the Menacing Squid
We're rather intrigued by this Max Neptune/Squid film, created by John Garside. It's being called a fun "homage to the science fiction and action serials of the 1940s and '50s," and you can tell in the trailer. They've got an eye-patchy villain, old timey rocket ships, and squids! Check it out.
Synopsis via website:
Earth has found itself in the cross hairs of a distant race of marauding space aliens! With the peace and security of the entire universe teetering on the edge of chaos, the United Planets rush their greatest leaders to an emergency summit on the Earth's Moon. They are our last great hope for intergalactic peace.
When the evil Dr. Agotch unleashes his massive mechanical space squid upon the transport carrying those leaders, an innocent city, and the Atomic Space Patrol, could this be the end? With a galaxy in danger, a city in peril, and a damsel in distress… There is only one man who can save the day...MAX NEPTUNE!
Quiet Earth pointed out this interesting flick. Sadly, it's not about io9's own evil league of evil, but the CG in Sergio Luca Loreni's film warrants a mention. The movie is set in "New Minsk" in a world where corporations are the new government. And, of course, they like to experiment on the poor folk.
La Pantera Negra
Twitch posted Iyari Huerta's Spanish scifi-noir film, and we're actually pretty taken with it. We'd love to read a translated version if anyone can tell us what's happening with the cute chap in the sombrero and the alien beam of light!

This was the question that I asked myself about 10:00 am Sunday Morning.
Sunday's are often one of my favorite days. I can sleep in, when I get up I can make a proper breakfast, I get to actually cook a proper meal for dinner, and generally I can just laze around and do whatever I want until it's time to raid. I tend to take the time to bake (peanut butter cookies this week!), and watch some telly or read.
This Sunday started out no different from any of the others. I stumbled out of bed, brushed my teeth, played with the puppy for a bit, and then sat down and started up WoW. I thought that I'd go do the new argent tournament dailies, since I haven't done them yet…like ever. I got chillmaw and the jousting done, and someone in guild was looking for more folks for an Ony 10 and asked if I wanted to come help heal.
I thought hey, why not, so I logged out and hopped over onto Dannie who desperately needs a new healing weapon (yes…I know it has hit, but it's a fabulous paladin weapon too!). As they were still scrounging for a tank, I asked Brade (who was playing some PS3 game called Infamous?) if he wanted to come along. He said "sure", and brought his ghetto fabulous Death Knight. This ensured that he would be the add tank, as the toon needs a lot of work yet and while I'm sure he *could* tank Ony, someone with a bit more life would probably be the better option. 🙂
As it was, we had a Feral druid in the raid much better geared who ended up being our Ony tank. We told everyone to hop on into vent, and moved about our happy way. The DPS was largely all guild, but we had one tank and the other two healers who were picked up via the LFG channel. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem. I generally have the patience of a saint when it comes to PuGs, and I'm pleasant and I walk everyone through the fight and keep a positive attitude as we wipe our way along.
But Sunday, I don't know what came over me. I don't know if it was the druid tank that took Ony through the raid (killing half the raid) to a tanking position in phase 3 that meant the healers got either tail whipped or cleaved, or if it was the fact that I had provided 70% of the heals with my paladin while the two HOLY priests together comprised the other 30%, or if it was because I'd not had my morning tea, but for the first time ever I snapped. With a PuG. In Vent.
"WTF why did we wipe?", was the question presented in vent. And where I would normally have calmly analyzed the situation, and provided direction to those that needed improvement, I didn't. I hit my push to talk button, and what came out of my mouth was a clipped, blunt, not quite rude, this is how we failed analysis that is similar to what I might give our raiders when we are struggling with something for a boneheaded reason. While I didn't tell the Bear he sucked and torched the raid, I also didn't sugar coat the fact that he was the main cause of our failure in that wipe. While I didn't tell the other two healers that I was doubling their healing combined, I did comment that a little more healing support would be nice. I think I might have even been snappy at Brade's poor DK for botching something up.
Was I horribly mean about it…no. I'm quite certain that these fine folks have probably been treated to far worse than my snappy response to them in the gamut of their PuG experiences. But I felt like a total bitch. I honestly really do like PuGing. I like providing a positive experience to something most people expect to fail. I like getting those tells after a raid thanking me and telling me that it's restored their faith in the PuG and that they had a lot of fun. It's really nice to go into a raid with zero expectations and come out totally surprised and thrilled with your success.
So what the hell happened that Sunday? I'm used to tanks that need a bit more direction, I'm used to dominating the heals in a PuG with healers that may have lesser experience and/or gear. Am I really so spoiled that I can't deal with less than stellar play? Have I really become such a snob that I faulted these folks for not doing as well as I would have liked?
Dear God, I hope not 😦 I truly hope that it was just a combination of early morning + lack of caffeine + mild peachbellini hangover + random crankiness that lead to my mouth to open without filtering what my brain was thinking. Even Saint Teresa had to have a bad day every now and then, right? I'm hoping the fact that I recognized my less than stellar behavior and felt really bad about means there is hope for redemption.
How about you? Have you ever had an experience where you were a bit of a WoW Snob? Did you regret it after the fact?
Bits of Randomness
Dannie Update – While I am still pining away for a weapon upgrade (I can't even get the ToC 5 mace!), I took her into our Ulduar 10 this weekend for a full hard mode run that I was running for folks to finish our their drakes and got a her a rusted protodrake of her own!
Ulduar 10 Update – Never. Going. Back. WooHoo! I have done my last Ulduar 10 clear…and I am thrilled to announce that I will finally have some free time again!
Algalon Update – We pulled him. I know…not much of an update. But I at least wanted to get a look at the guy. We've had our keys for a few weeks, just never went in to check him out. It was pretty nifty.
Currently Reading – The new Dan Brown Book "The Lost Symbol". I've heard some mixed reviews of it, so here is hoping I find it a good read!

London, UK – An innovative headgear for those worried about excessive radiation is making waves. Starting as one of the success stories on Kickstarter, SHIELD Apparel has seen its popularity rise with stylish and comfortable apparel that offers radiation protection and is as close to the best fit as one can get.
The signal blocking SHIELD products carry a silver fabric inside which screens and protects against electromagnetic radiation. The signal inside the headgear is hundreds of times lower, and offers a maximum shielding effect of nearly 80 db depending on the application. The apparel is also antiseptic, antiodor and antistatic, and attenuates signals emanating from wi-fi and cell phone connections.
Studies have revealed the effect that cellular radiation can have on human bodies, especially their ability to cause cell mutations and genetic changes. As a high-tech fashion brand, SHIELD is unique in its approach to making apparel that has grown every day since launch. The company has recently launched a new signal blocking underwear line, with its flagship product boxers briefs. The designs are high quality, and offer the closest fit.
SHIELD has been founded in London, as a reaction to concern over radiation damage seriously and founders decided to launch the new protective head gear that can be worn every day. The EMF clothing is not only functional but carries every aesthetic quality required from everyday wear. Understandably, the head gear looks pretty and also defends against potentially harmful radiation, two qualities that cannot be found elsewhere.
EMF clothing is a novelty in the apparel industry, and SHIELD has emerged as a pioneering manufacturer that cares not only about the health of consumers, but also ensures they look good while going out. All radiation blocking apparel can now be bought on the company's website or in few stores in New York.

Writing FierceCRO can be a geography lesson. As the outsourcing market continues to grow, so has the number of attractive locations for clinical trials. Smaller countries have joined the usual suspects--such as China and India--on the CRO map.
With some insight from the Association of Clinical Research Organizations (ACRO) and CROs, such as Icon ($ICLR) and Covance ($CVD), we set out to identify countries that offer the right mix of features for outsourcing and clinical work. But rather than focus on markets with well-established CRO operations, we looked for promising, upwardly mobile countries.
What are those features? Population perhaps plays the greatest role, followed by infrastructure. A strong patient pool is essential, whether that means a large population or a large group of patients suffering from a particular disease, says John Lewis, ACRO's vice president of public affairs. So is a reasonably strong healthcare system.
And then there's the legal framework. Does the government have a regulatory body that spells out the rules and is capable of enforcing them? For some of the countries on our list, that's already the case. For others, however, the regulatory apparatus is a work in progress.
Cost is also key, but money isn't everything. "There are certainly cost differences across regions in terms of investigators' fees, diagnostic procedures, startup fees, importation taxes and labor costs," says Wei Ming Goh, Icon's Asia-Pacific VP. "However, the main drivers for clinical trials allocation continue to be the realistic evaluation of the feasibility of a particular study."
So sit back and buckle up for a virtual tour through 7 up-and-coming countries for outsourcing. Drop me a line via email or Twitter to let us know what you think. Did we leave some great candidates off the list? Feel free to recommend them; we're always up for a debate here at FierceCRO.

$ 17.95
You're never too young to be a Kansas City fan! This adorable baby girl onesie features a distressed red and white polka dot pattern with white and gold glitter graphic accent. Perfect for all pretty little KC fans!
Loooove it!
love it
Love it!!!
I love this shirt! And have gotten comments on it also.
So soft. So perfect!
So cute! Got this for my neighbor as we exchange Xmas mugs and cups. Company shipped quickly and mug arrived in perfect condition.
It's gorgeous and I love the size!
Fits great and is super soft!
Love this little guy. Bought it as a Christmas gift so don't know yet if it's baby approve. The rattle is very quiet.
Super cute!!
Eat Beef Cheekys Graphic T-Shirt
High quality material, comfortable, and just like the picture! Also true to size!!
I'm getting married in the mountains this weekend, and got a couple of shirts in this style from a few different companies. This one was the clear winner! The fit is perfect, it's comfortable and feels well-constructed. I was worried the sleeves might be too short, but they're exactly right - and I have slightly longish arms. I was also worried it wouldn't arrive in time, but when I told her it was for an event, the seller made sure I would get it. There's a real human at the other end of that email address who owns this business, which also makes this company worth buying from!
Look the store !!!
I rarely review anything online and by that I mean I never do, but the service as well as this flannel and a few others I purchased are top shelf quality. The color of the blue one is striking but not overpowering, as in the photo, which suits me since I wear it for comfort not to show off(too much). The fit was exact too in the medium sizes I've purchased. Rural even sent a little thank you on the receipt, nice touch. Very pleased with this company, my only negative being I wish they had more colors to buy(hint: forest green). Thanks. :)

We would like to announce the general availability of Adobe Acrobat Reader integration with Microsoft Information Protection solutions – which we originally announced in September Your feedback during the development of this integration was both insight and useful. You can download the new Adobe Acrobat Reader that supports Microsoft Information Protection capabilities at the following location
Figure 1: Page to download the Adobe integration Plug-in
Prior to downloading the latest Adobe Acrobat, please make sure that your labels are visible in the Security and Compliance center UI @ https://protection.office.com . If the labels are visible and are published by a label policy from the Security and Compliance center, the Adobe Integration will function.
Note: The instructions on how to replicate your existing AIP labels to Security and Compliance center is at the following link
After you have validated the label being visible in the Security and Compliance center, please proceed to download your Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe site. Once you have installed the Reader then please proceed to the link and download the integration plug-in for installation. Please make sure that you close the Adobe Acrobat solution prior to installing the plug-in, otherwise it will not work.
If have an older installation then please make sure to read the general terms of use and uninstall any old Reader and plug-in installation before installing the new reader and the plug-in. The integration works with the 2019.010.20064 version of Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat DC. Please do not use the plug-in with an earlier version of Acrobat.
After you have installed the plug-in, please try to label and protect a PDF document using the Azure Information Protection client and then open with Adobe Acrobat Reader that has the integration enabled.
In case you receive the following error as shown in Figure 2, when opening the secure PDF document with Adobe, It is due to the fact that the tenant administrator in your organization does not want users to authorize applications within your organizations tenant . This is an additional security measure that your tenant administrator might have enabled .
Figure 2: Admin Consent page that shows if you have not authorized the Adobe applications
In such cases, please have your tenant administrators consent to the Adobe Acrobat App-id which is as follows:
Once the administrative consent happens, then you should be ready to consume protected PDF content via Adobe's Acrobat Reader. If you would like to understand what consent flows are, please read the information at the following link:
To view the label ribbon in Acrobat reader interface please update or create the following registry entry on your computer
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\MicrosoftAIP
Create a DWORD value name called : bShowDMB with a Hexadecimal value of 1
Figure 3: Label banner on a PDF
That will allow the ability to view the label ribbon within the Acrobat interface
Even after making the changes in registry you are not seeing the labels. Then the issue could be the following:
If your answer is no, to the above questions, then you will not see the labels. The Adobe integration is enabled with Microsoft Information Protection and the policies for those labels comes the Security and Compliance center at https://protection.office.com
Please check if your AIP labels manifest within Security and Compliance center and if they are visible then please make sure that your labels are published.
If you have done the above steps please make sure that the registry entry for the label banner is done as Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC and not under Adobe\DC
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\MicrosoftAIP
And the value is a DWORD not a QWORD
We at both Adobe and Microsoft look forward to your engagement and feedback to improve the product experience.
@Deleted can you kindly let know:
CC: @Mohd_Kashif
Hi @Rajneesh_Chavli and @Mohd_Kashif,
I do not think MSRMS.api is present
The value of Currently in Certified Mode is Yes.
And C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\plug_ins contains 4 dll files
Pls see the attached screenshots:
Thank you
@Deleted please let know:
Thanks for your help.
CC: @Mohd_Kashif
Hi @Rajneesh_Chavli and @Mohd_Kashif,
Thanks for your reply. The answers below:
Also - can I set up the label applying to be applied while uploading documents to that SP site?
I am not sure whether the whole set up is done correctly. I.e. I have labels published in tenant Security and Compliance center. So far I do not see a way to apply a label to a document - the IRM protection seems to be applied to Office docs and PDFs by uploading the file to a site where IRM is active, but I do not see labels to either PDFs or Office docs..
Do I need to install Azure Information Protection client on my laptop and apply the label to the PDF before uploading to that site? In order to apply the label?
So perhaps start from scratch - list of items to install, and in what order...? Bare in mind - all that is needed for a SPOnline site containing sensitive documents..for the time being.
Thanks a bunch!
@Deleted thanks for your response.
Request you to please send a protected PDF (which you're unable to open in Adobe Reader) to "rchavli [at] adobe [dot] com" and "kashif [at] adobe [dot] com".

When I try to log in with the email from my domain I get 401 unauthorized page. If I log with a external test gmail account I get an error "User account from identity provider does not exist in tenant 'Adobe Inc' and cannot access the application. This account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first." If I close the box it will allow me to access the pdf file, the bookmark titles are missing but can still view the content and click on the bookmarks. On my domain account it just closes the pdf file.
In the Azure portal I see two sign in from my domain account one successful one interrupted. My gmail only show one successful.
Same ID Successful same time.
AFAIK all the permissions are there.
FYI: AIP Viewer and Foxit Reader work just fine viewing the document.
Also, is there anyway to undo the auto sign in? Now that I've signed in with my gmail account I can't find a way to sign out so I can test my domain account.
@Tim_Lehman credentials can be cleared via Edit->Preferences->Security->Microsoft Information Protection->Clear remembered account information.
CC: @Mohd_Kashif
Thanks @Rajneesh_Chavli. Couldn't get much easier than that, I don't know how I overlooked that.
I don't what has changed this morning, but I'm able to log into the plugin using email@example.com but not firstname.lastname@example.com. My test gmail account still gives me this error though. Closing the window (screenshot below) allows me to view the pdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is a repost but thanks for the help @Rajneesh_Chavli.
I'm able to log in now using email@example.com but not email@example.com. I get the token error when I use email@example.com. I would like to have this fixed but worst case I can tell my users to use firstname.lastname@example.com
However, I'm still having an issue with my test external gmail account. I get an error "Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Adobe Inc' and cannot access the application 'cad2910c-3b55-4610-ba7e-dda581063c91' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account." If I close this window it opens up the pdf just fine and I can view it, but it doesn't go any further until I close the window.
This is an external user in my tenant and I have granted them permission to the application via the Azure portal. I'm not sure what the 'Adobe Inc' tenant in the error message means.
This is an issue for us because we need to be able to share protected documents with external users.
@Tim Lehmann , I am the PM at Microsoft. We will need to look at this issue in a little more depth. May I ask you open a ticket with Microsoft support please.
@Steve Light - Can you keep an eye on this support request that may be coming your way. This is pertaining the MIP SDK.
@Kartik Kanakasabesan I have one opened with them since 1/8/19 did you want the ticket # or should I opened a new one? Because some of the issues in the details we have fixed, that way it will be more focused on the current issue.
Hi @Rajneesh_Chavli and @Mohd_Kashif,
Do you have any feed back on our issue after I sent you a locked PDF file as requested on 15/01/19?
Please update.
Many thanks.
This is a great inspiring article.I am pretty much pleased with your good work.You put really very helpful information.
We have a problem with every scanned document from Konica Minolta devices. I tried to change the scan settings but it still did not work. The pdf is displayed correctly before applying the label.
In the program Foxit and Azure Information Protection Viewer displays correctly.
Thanks a lot if someone could help
@root129 can you please open a support ticket please so we can better understand. The support ticket needs to be opened with Adobe. @Rajjeet Kadian can you please advise
@root129 could you please share the document on email@example.com? Please send a document which has no protection but just a label and one with protection & label.
@Kartik Kanakasabesan @Rajneesh_Chavli I have problem with the Office 365 authentication. In my tenant, some users use certificate to sign into Office 365 (authenticated by ADFS), and some other users sign in with Office 365 password (authenticated online by Office 365 - no MFA, no federation, no SSO, just plain default). When opening an AIP-protected .pdf file, the MIP plug-in works as expected, i.e. it asks users credential. After entering the email address and Office 365 password, the user authenticated by Office 365 could open the .pdf file. The problem is, the user authenticated with ADFS could not complete authentication, as the certificate prompt window doesn't show up.
Do MIP plug in support this kind of authentication scenario as well?
@Kartik Kanakasabesan I do not even get the consent prompt. I enter my email and then I get redirected straight to the PDF content without showing any ribbon. Could you help me troubleshoot? Thank you much. Maria Y.
I don't see anywhere regarding the visual marking for the PDF reader. Does the adobe reader support Unified labeling watermarking?
@Tim_Lehman Did you get that issue resolved when using external accounts to open protected PDF files?. I had the same issue when trying to open a PDF file on my personal laptop using an outlook.com address. When i try opening the same PDF file on a different laptop I get an error about not being able to read the network location (both laptops have the same OS, Adobe DC version, Plugin version).
I have not had my issue resolved yet. Microsoft had me reach out to Adobe, Adobe said there was a Microsoft Sync issue they were looking into. The "network location error" is a new for me, which I'm also getting this same error.
yeah, does seem to be an Adobe issue. I can open the PDF file using the Foxit Reader and the AIP viewer.
Hi @Tim_Lehman
Can you explain the steps you have followed. Also please attach a screenshot of error dialog.
Hi @Aman_Gupta
Kartik wanted me to open a ticket which I'll be doing when I get a spare moment but the steps are:
1. Apply a label
2. Open the file and put in my gmail address when prompted ( It doesn't prompt me to put in my Microsoft Account credentials, it used to take me to the Microsoft login splash page.)
3. Asks if I want to stay signed in.
4. Gives me an error " The network location cannot be reached."
I actually recently got a new computer, reloaded all the software and got the "Select user isn't part of the tenant error" on the first test, but today it's giving me the network location error.
If I close the "Isn't part of the tenant" error it will let me view the content. The network location error does nothing.
In the portal it logs it as a successful attempt though.
I am also facing the same issue @Tim_Lehman has mentioned. This issue is stopping us to perform the deployment for more than 5000 users.
Kindly assist.
@imaditya , can you please open a support ticket on the matter so that we can trouble shoot accordingly.
Hola Everyone, I am not been asked to save my credentials.
Does anyone know how can I get it to do that?
Hi @myacaman
Please try clearing your MIP saved preferences inside Acrobat/Reader. To do that open "Preferences" and select "Security" tab. Here click on "Clear remembered account information" under "Microsoft Azure Information Protection" section.
Restart the product and try to open any MIP protected file
@Kartik Kanakasabesan Hi Kartik,
Any plan to support the new protected PDF format on mobile platform (Android, iOS)?
Also is there any documentation on the details of the new protected PDF format? For example, where is the publishing license and other metadata is stored etc. As a third party developer, we would like to be able to generate the new protected format from mobile devices. However, it looks like the new PDF format is only available on the desktop via the C++ SDK (IpcfEncryptFileStream etc)? Please let me know if I missed anything.
Every time we open a protected document, it prompts to enter email address for validation.
Yes, we've selected the option 'remember me for faster login'
Yes, we've tried clearing remembered account info from security --> azure IP
Is there any way to get this to use the signed-in windows user for SSO?
@Kartik Kanakasabesan I followed all instructions and I am able to open protected PDF files in the Adobe Reader DC, but PDF files encrypted using SharePoint online I am still not able to read them in the Adobe Reader. Still getting, This PDF file is protected. Could you let me know whether SPO AIP encrypted file are supported or not in the Adobe Reader DC? Or is there any additional step required?
Hello @Kartik Kanakasabesan.
The ribbon in PDFs with the label was showing up until next week. It is not working today although I have not made any changes. Are you aware of anything that may have caused it to stop working? I still have the add in and the registry key.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you.
Hi is there any update on the AIP ribbon in Acrobat Reader DC? I cant get this working...
I have version 2020.006.20034 of the DC Reader installed and the AIP plugin (AIPPlugin2000620034_Rdr_DC) installed.
I can use the AIP plugin to classify the file, this works fine, i get to choose from my AIP labels published from Azure. I see my labels in the Security and Compliance Centre under "Classification - Sensitivity labels)
Inside my protected PDF file, i see a lock icon on the left hand side telling me the document is protected by AIP
Ive added the registry entry (above) on a test laptop running Windwos10.
But I have no AIP ribbon on top of the document?
Any ideas? greatly appreciated
@MattB-ADS could you please check that the label applied to the PDF file doesn't have an empty value in tag name field? A couple of other customers had the same issue, leading to ribbon not shown in Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please feel free to share more details on your configuration to email@example.com. We will setup a quick call to investigate the issue.
How does a user change the email/ID which the Acrobat Reader plugin uses?
I received a PDF sent to email address #1, and was able to install the plugin and authenticate, but there seem to be no way for me to change that. I've received another PDF sent to email address #2 and Acrobat reader rightly blocks it since email address #1 would not have permission... but there seems to be no way to change which email/ID the Acrobat plugin uses. Uninstall/reinstall of the plug-in does not completely reset it (it retains the first email used and only prompts to re authenticate with a new code).
@B_Flow You will have to clear the MIP saved credentials from your machine. To do this open the preferences dialog of Acrobat/Reader (using control+k). Now go to the Security tab from the Categories on left side. Click on "Clear remembered account information" for Microsoft Azure Information Protection. Click ok and restart Acrobat/Reader. Now if you will try to open any MIP protected file you will be asked again for the email id and password.

"UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou" has its first two fights.
UFC officials today announced that verbal agreements are in place for middleweights Alan Belcher (16-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) vs. Jason MacDonald (25-14 MMA, 6-6 UFC) and middleweights Court McGee (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. Dongi Yang (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
UFC Fight Night 25 takes place Sept. 17 in New Orleans, and the night's main card airs on Spike TV.
The placement of Belcher vs. MacDonald and McGee vs. Yang on the card isn't currently known.
Belcher was scheduled for a UFC Fight Night 22 bout
with Demian Maia this past September. But he started to lose vision in
his right eye a few months before the event. After consulting with
physicians and learning he had a detached retina, the injury forced the
26-year-old to not only withdraw from the fight but also face the
possibility of watching his career come to an abrupt end. Belcher has endured painful surgeries and stressful rehabilitation, but his vision is "pretty much 20/20" now.
A native of nearby Biloxi, Miss., Belcher recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) he hoped to be on the New Orleans card. He makes his long-awaited UFC return on the heels of a 4-1 run in the organization. The lone loss came via close split decision to Yoshihiro Akiyama, and the victories resulted in three of the UFC's fight-night bonuses.
MacDonald recently salvaged his latest UFC stint with a first-round submission victory over Ryan Jensen at UFC 129. While previously cut from the UFC after a 1-3 skid, the veteran Canadian middleweight now is 4-1 in his past five fights.
McGee, meanwhile, fights for the first time since an October submission win over Jensen. Coupled with a UFC-debut victory over Kris McCray that won him "The Ultimate Fighter 11," the Californian now has won seven straight fights.
Yang, a South Korean fighter, signed with the UFC after posting a 9-0 record in Asia. He recently rebounded from a UFC-debut split-decision loss to Chris Camozzi with a second-round TKO of Rob Kimmons in March.
The UFC hasn't held an event in Louisiana since UFC 37 in May 2002. That
event took place in Bossier City. The UFC's most recent event in New Orleans was UFC 27, which took place in September 2000.
For more on "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou," stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Microsoft and Mozilla traded barbs this week in a dispute over what constitutes a "modern" Web browser. The competitive friction is starting to heat up because the Redmond software giant and Silicon Valley nonprofit are preparing to release the next major versions of their respective Web browsers.
Mozilla's Firefox 4 is expected to arrive this month and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 is in the release candidate stage. Both browsers are set to introduce a significant number of new features for end users and Web developers, including extensive support for critical next-generation Web standards.
The release of Internet Explorer 9 is particularly noteworthy, because it will mark the first time in recent history that Microsoft has delivered a browser that doesn't lag far behind on standards compliance. Despite the great strides that Microsoft has made with IE9, Mozilla contends that Microsoft still has a long way to go before it can truly characterize IE as a "modern" browser.
Mozilla developer Paul Rouget, who is probably best known for his innovative HTML 5 demos, issued a statement and accompanying infographic that attacks Microsoft's claims regarding IE9's support for modern Web standards. Rouget says that Microsoft has misrepresented the extent of IE's standards compliance by using the company's own test suite as a benchmark rather than vendor-neutral tests devised by the W3C and other independent parties.
Microsoft's recent blog entry about the availability of the IE9 release candidate includes a table that purports to compare IE9's standards compliance against that of stable versions of other mainstream browsers. As Rouget has pointed out, the table is based solely on Microsoft's own test cases and omits prerelease versions of other browsers.
In software engineering, it's common for developers to create elaborate testing suites that are designed to evaluate a software implementation's conformance with the project requirements. IE9's conformance with Microsoft's own internal test suite for the browser does little more than signify that Microsoft has fulfilled its project goals for the IE9 release milestone. It doesn't reflect IE9's compatibility with the full spectrum of browser standards—just the specific features that Microsoft has chosen to focus on implementing.
When tested against an independently maintained HTML5 feature matrix at caniuse.com, the breadth of IE9's HTML5 conformance looks much less compelling. In fact, the scores show that IE9 supports roughly 54 percent of HTML5, compared to the 88 percent covered by Firefox 4. It's worth noting that Firefox 3.6, which was released in January 2010, scores 54 percent, just like IE9. The takeaway message is that, despite advances, Microsoft's HTML5 support in IE9 is still lagging roughly a year behind Firefox.
Although IE9 is still obviously missing support for some important standards-related features, we aren't totally sold on Mozilla's contention that this precludes IE9 from being characterized as a "modern" browser. There is a lot more to being a "modern" browser than merely supporting the latest standards.
Standards bearer
The standards story itself is also far from clear. When Mozilla was defending its poor score on the Acid 3 test in 2008, Mozilla's Rob Sayre decried what he called standards "grandstanding" by browser vendors. As was the case then, evaluating standards compliance is a task that requires a lot more nuance than you can get from tables, infographics, and test scores. Microsoft still has a lot of work to do, but they are finally moving forward at a good pace and have arguably caught up with a big chunk of the feature set that Web developers want to use today.
Rouget provides an abridged list of some of the standard where Microsoft has fallen behind. Perusing the list proved to be an instructive exercise. Many of the standards that Rouget identifies as missing pieces in IE9 are indeed unfortunate omissions by Microsoft. Some nascent features that Microsoft doesn't support yet, like Web Workers, are going to be important for high-performance next-generation Web applications.
There are some omissions in IE9, however, that are understandable. For example, Microsoft is faulted for not supporting CSS3 gradients. It's worth noting that Firefox's Gecko rendering engine and WebKit implemented this feature with very different syntax. It was only last month that Mozilla and Apple reached a consensus on the syntax, leading the WebKit team to change their implementation.
Along those lines, some of the weak areas in IE9 relate to standards that are still basically in flux and are implemented with vendor-prefixed flags in other browsers. Microsoft still falls behind far too often, but is arguably getting better at tracking standards that are works in progress. The company has an experimental implementation of the WebSockets specification, for example, though it won't be included in a browser until it stabilizes and some standing technical issues with the standard are addressed.
On that note, Doug Schepers of the W3C SVG working group recently dismissed critics of Microsoft's SVG support in IE9 and lauded the company for implementing a "very large, functional subset" of the standard.
"But it's silly to hold Microsoft to a higher standard than the other browser vendors, for their first release. Everyone, even Microsoft, has limited resources, so I'd have been stunned if they did all of SVG 1.1 in IE9," he wrote in a blog entry. "And I'll be surprised if they are missing features like filters and animation in IE10."
SMIL is one of only two missing IE9 features that prevent the browser from scoring 100/100 on the Acid 3 test. The other major feature is SVG Fonts, which Mozilla has also declined to implement, due to the availability of the superior WOFF standard.
What makes a modern browser?
The question of what constitutes a "modern" browser seems to tread into the shaky realm of ontological inquiry. In a response to Mozilla, Microsoft's Tim Sneath accuses Rouget of assuming a "very narrow definition" of what makes a browser modern.
Indeed, there are a lot of ways in which IE is arguably more "modern" than Firefox if you look beyond the issue of standards. The most noteworthy example is IE's support for process isolation for tabs. Although a number of mainstream browsers support this capability, it's not supported yet in Firefox 4. Mozilla's 2011 roadmap highlights tab process isolation as a major goal and indicates that it could come later in 2011.
Rouget isn't doing himself any favors by elevating the word "modern" to the heart of the discussion. He's effectively burying the lede, which is his more defensible position that Microsoft's support for HTML5 is still lacking and lags behind Mozilla's.
Mozilla's mission-oriented agenda and emphasis on the open Web create a culture where the tendency is to assign a high priority to standards compliance. Mozilla's vigilance in this area is highly beneficial to the Web and has arguably played an important role in catalyzing the current competitiveness and relative health in the browser ecosystem. The downside of Mozilla's standards fixation is that it also occasionally makes it look like the organization has fallen out of touch with users.
As a Firefox end user and occasional Web developer, I don't particularly care whether I can use SMIL in SVG. There are other factors that more significantly impact the quality of my day-to-day browsing experience where Mozilla still falls short. To cite standards conformance as the chief measure of a modern browser is to downplay the importance of all of the work that goes into making a good browsing experience. That was obviously not Mozilla's intent, but that's the attitude that resonates from this kind of ham-handed marketing effort.
Microsoft's long history of wilfully crippling the Internet with IE's lack of standards compliance understandably makes it difficult to give the company the benefit of the doubt. I'd say, however, that the progress Microsoft has made in IE9 goes a long way towards repairing the damage. Mozilla is still fundamentally right in saying that Microsoft's HTML 5 compliance isn't as good as the company wants users to believe. It's still pretty good, however, and is on track to get better—just like Mozilla is on track to address its own problems, such as the lack of process isolation for tabs.

Winchesters on the Big Screen
Our boys have been busy lately, though frankly I think Jensen and Jared need Jeffrey's agent. Horror movies? After doing Supernatural all year?
Oh, well, hopefully it will get them good exposure and bring more fans to the show, right?
First up is My Bloody Valentine 3D, Jensen's movie, which came out this past weekend. Do NOT go to Wikipedia to see what it's about, because dang, the whole movie is laid out. I hate being spoiled. Jensen plays Tom, the son of the mine owner, who may or may not be responsible for the mine incident that killed 5 miners and left one in a coma, on Valentine's Day. The scene we've seen over and over (if we've been Tivoing Jensen on Jimmy Kimmel and Bonnie Hunt) is when the characters are still in high school. Tom (Jensen) is injured, but the bulk of the story takes place after that scene. I thought Jensen's comment to Bonnie Hunt that his parents might not be able to see this movie was cute, made me want to see it even more.
Okay, after watching the preview, I want to see it. I admit it.
Next is Friday the 13th, Jared's movie. Jared plays Clay (apparently no last name) who travels to the legendary Crystal Lake to find his missing sister. He meets up with other young people there (fodder, no doubt) and Jason appears. Again, Jared is the lead character, which is cool, but Friday the 13th? Oh well. The comment I heard Jared make is that he really worked out to get big for the role (I'm thinking this is why he looks so, um, good this season) because the actor who plays Jason is even bigger than Jared. It was filmed near Austin last summer, which kills me, because Jared said he'd drive down to San Antonio (where I am, where he's from) almost every weekend. GAH!
The movie I'm definitely seeing is Watchmen, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. As soon as I heard about it, I read the comic, and Jeffrey's character is Not A Nice Man, even though he's a "hero." Since then, I've been soaking up everything I can about it, and even my son is getting excited about it. He's read the comic several times, and got the motion comics from iTunes for Christmas.
Anyway, the plot: The year is 1984 and Nixon is still president. The Cold War is at its peak, we've won VietNam (thanks to Dr. Manhattan, the big blue guy) and costumed heroes have been outlawed.
The movie starts with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, as Edward Blake, the Comedian, being thrown out the window. Yes. He DIES IN THE FIRST SCENE. Yeesh. Maybe he needs a new agent, too. Anyway, this sparks an investigation by another costumed hero who used to work with Blake, Rorschach (the guy with the black and white mask, played by Jackie Earle Haley). Rorschach goes to Nite Owl (played by Patrick Wilson) and suggests someone is targeting costumed heroes. It takes a bit more than that to convince Nite Owl to squeeze back into his costume and fight for justice.
The plot is twisted, as are the characters. We get backstory fed in, like how Dr. Manhattan came to be, and we learn what the responsibility of being a hero can do to a character.
Since Zach Snyder directed it, I'm super excited (did you know he's my age? To be so successful…awesome.) Also, in the comic there's a sub-story, a kid reading a comic book at a news stand called "Tales of the Black Freighter." Zach has made an animated version of this, voiced by Gerard Butler, which will release on DVD and rated R. Trust me, again not a cheery story.
Also from Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Accidental Husband. It's supposed to come out at the end of March, but it's been pushed 3 times already. It's a romantic comedy, which relies on pratfalls by Uma Thurman for laughs. Jeffrey Dean plays Patrick, a firefighter (guh) about to marry a woman he'd rescued, only she calls in to Uma's radio show to ask if it's really love. Uma tells her know, and Patrick's fiancée breaks up with him. He decides to get revenge on Uma by getting his friend to do some hacking and "marrying" her on paper, so she can't marry Colin Firth, completely wasted in this role.
I felt like a lot of stuff was cut out that would make the movie flow better. There are some scenes worth watching for…the last scene was my favorite, and the bar scene was good too, and it is much more cheerful than any of these other movies.
JDM has three more movies in post-production, set to come out in 2009 as well: All Good Things, with Kirsten Dunst, where he plays a cop with bad hair, Taking Woodstock, where he plays a closeted gay man in the 1960s (who wants to bet he has some serious sideburns?), and Shanghai, with John Cusack, where he plays a man who gets killed in Shanghai (STOP KILLING JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN!!!) before World War II and Cusack has to investigate.
So tell me, will you go see our Winchesters on the big screen? And who will you go with?

WARSAW, Poland, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Political leaders gathered in Warsaw Sunday to pay their respects to Poland's first non-communist prime minister, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, who died Monday.
Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, former Presidents Lech Walesa and Aleksander Kwasniewski, and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso were among those gathered for the service presided over by Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the archbishop of Warsaw.
Mazowiecki's coffin was moved Saturday from the presidential palace to the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist for the funeral service, thenews.pl reported.
His final resting place will be a family grave in Laski, next to his wife Ewa.
Mazowiecki was a key negotiator for the union movement in 1989 and took the post of prime minister in September of that year with a vote of confidence by the country's first parliament.
He ran for president against Lech Walesa in 1990 but withdrew from the race after the first ballot.
He became special emissary for the United Nations to Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Balkans war and served as a member of the Polish lower house of parliament for the center-right Freedom Union.
He was a vocal supporter of an integrated Europe, pushing for Poland's membership in the European Union.

- Title: Singin' in the Rain
- Director: Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen
- Date: 1952
- Studio: MGM
- Genre: Musical, Romance, Comedy
- Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, Cyd Charisse, Rita Moreno
- Format: Standard, Technicolor
- DVD Format: R1, NTSC
"Dignity, always dignity." — Don Lockwood
"What do you think I am? Dumb or something?" Lina
"Everybody's always making speeches for me, well tonight I'm going to do my own talking, I'm going to make the speech!" — Lina
It should come as no surprise that I'm a big fan of Fred Astaire (see links on left to his many films that I own) so, even though I think it's perfectly possible to like both, I'm much less of a fan of Gene Kelly. Kelly definitely has a very different dancing style — he's athletic, and dances like a gymnast but he's also very heavy. While Astaire dances on air — and seems to float with grace and style, Kelly is very down to earth and almost working class, even when playing a rich, successful, film star as he does in Singin' in the the Rain.
The film starts with a 1927 film premiere, which is reminiscent of an Oscar Red Carpet night, complete with a female commentator, who announces the stars as they arrive. Soon, one of the film's stars arrives, Don Lockwood (Kelly), who is convinced to tell his well-known story to the audience. He does, but the pictures in the resulting montage are the exact opposite of his words. It is a very nice piece of ironic humor to start the film.
However, it is also ironically, and unintentionally, a comment on the studio system of film-making, of which MGM was a prime (but not the only) example. The studio would create background stories, publicity images, even the names of their stars, as well as choosing which films their stars made and who their co-stars were. Studio system actors, in a very real sense, were "just doing a job" — they showed up, made that month's picture, then the next, and the next, and the next. This is one reason why film stars of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, racked up huge numbers of films if they stayed in the business.
Just as Lockwood and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), the stars of Monumental Pictures, start their new film, "The Dueling Cavalier", Warner Brother's "The Jazz Singer" comes out and is a smashing success. "R.F.", the head of the studio, decides "The Dueling Cavalier", will be a talking picture. Don and Lina are given voice / diction lessons, but whereas Don takes to it like a duck to water, Lina, whom the studio has not allowed to speak in public, has trouble. Her voice is loud, squeaky, obnoxious, and her manner is rude, self-centered, and shrewish. Not only is her voice a distraction, but she is unable to figure out she must direct her voice towards the microphone, or that playing with her costume (notably a strand of fake pearls) will cause extra noise that's a distraction on the film. In short, Lina, is a disaster, though probably not entirely due to her own fault.
The new film is shown to a preview audience, and the crowd roars with laughter (for a serious, historic romance), and many complain it's the worst they have ever seen while leaving the theater. RF, Don, and Don's friend, Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) are devastated. But, Kathy (Debbie Reynolds), a young starlet and acting hopeful, that Don has been pursing, has an idea — make the film into a musical. Cosmo points out that Lina also can't sing or dance. Then he gets an idea: Kathy will dub Lina's lines, and sing for her. They take the plan to RF, who loves it. Don suggests they save what they can of the film by making it about a "young hoofer" (that is, a dancer) who goes to New York to seek his fortune on the stage, while backstage he's hit by a falling sandbag, and dreams he's in the French Revolution (the footage already shot of "The Dueling Cavalier"), the title of the film will be changed to "The Dancing Cavalier".
Everything goes to plan until Lina finds out what's going on, and about Kathy dubbing for her. She's extremely angry and releases a story to the press about her phenomenal singing voice. She also points out to RF she's in charge of her own publicity. Therefore, RF's plans of giving Kathy screen credit, and making it plain in the press she was a new star and would star in new films with Don goes up in smoke.
The new film's premiere is a success, and Lina insists she will make Kathy dub her voice for the next five years, ruining Kathy's own career. She makes a speech to the crowd, which goes over only so-so, then at the crowd's insistence, sings the reprise of "Singin' in the Rain", getting Kathy to dub it for her. However, Don, Cosmo, and RF pull the curtain back, revealing that the excellent voice is, in fact, Kathy.
List of Musical Numbers
- Fit as a Fiddle
- All I Do is Dream of You
- Make 'Em Laugh

- Singin' in the Rain
- Would You?
- Broadway Melody / Broadway Rhythm
- Singin' in the Rain (Reprise)
- You Are My Lucky Star
Most of the music from Singin' in the Rain, isn't original at all — it's from Warner Brothers and RKO musicals from the late 1920s up to the mid-1930s. Even the title tune is from the Hollywood Review of 1929, while "Good Morning" is from Babes in Arms (1939). However, "Singin' in the Rain" with Gene Kelly gleefully walking, striding, singing, and dancing in a cold, rainy street is an excellent number. I also liked the less-than-serious "Moses Supposes" (Kelly and O'Connor, partner tap) and the energetic "Good Morning" (Reynolds, Kelly, and O'Connor, trio partner tap). The finale is typical of big, technicolor, MGM musicals, with several moods, changes of set and costume, lots of show dancing, and even two lovely ballet numbers starring Cyd Charisse dancing opposite Gene Kelly.
However, the film is very anti-feminist in it's attitudes. Lina, is made fun of and gets her come-uppance, not only because she's a "shrew" but because she insists on being in charge of her own career, and speaking for herself. Whereas Kathy is a good girl and always does what she's told – by Don and RF especially. Lina's goal, speaking for herself, making her own career decisions, and basically not being pushed around, isn't so bad. Yes, she misbehaves (especially towards Kathy whom she sees as a threat to her relationship with Don), but you know what they say about well-behaved women (they rarely make history). There's also the inherent age-ism of a young starlet replacing a more mature actress. Overall, what she wants and her behavior isn't that bad, considering, and the way she's belittled, made fun of, and embarrassed — not to mention the complete loss of her career is a bit harsh of a punishment.

About Dr. Copeland
About Dr. Michelle Copeland
How does a world-renowned plastic surgeon get involved in the skin-care business? For Dr. Copeland, it was a natural extension of her life's work.
As a leading New York plastic surgeon, she performed procedures on thousands of patients. And she was frustrated that the products available to promote post-surgical healing did not deliver the results she expected. So she began formulating her own products for use on her patients. Well, the results were so positive that soon there was demand for her products even from patients who had fully recovered—and even from those who'd never had a surgical procedure.
Dr. Copeland has dedicated her distinguished career to helping women and men look younger, feel healthier, and live better. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of biochemistry and her clinical experience, Dr. Copeland has created a line of skin-care products—now available to the public—initially formulated to meet the special needs of her patients. The doctor personally develops and tests each product to ensure its efficacy and safety. She is the first woman plastic surgeon with a full line of skin-care products.
A Harvard-trained plastic surgeon, Dr. Copeland has a flourishing Manhattan practice that has treated thousands of people worldwide, including many celebrities. Dr. Copeland practices a full range of plastic and reconstructive surgery for both adult and pediatric patients.
The doctor appears frequently on national television programs including NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America. She is regularly quoted in major newspapers and beauty magazines including The New York Times, Town & Country, Allure, Women's Health, Elle, Lucky, Parade, and Cosmopolitan. She is invited to speak at conferences around the world and has presented her pioneering techniques for enhancing facial rejuvenation at international scientific symposia on aging skin in Paris, Cyprus, Florence, Milan, South Africa, Bangkok, Tokyo and Beijing.
Dr. Copeland is the author of two best-selling books, The Beautiful Skin Workout (St. Martin's Griffin), and Change Your Looks, Change Your Life (HarperCollins). She appears regularly on national television programs including NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America. She has also published numerous articles in medical and science journals.
Dr. Copeland is a member of the teaching faculty at Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai. In addition, she serves on the Medical Health Advisory Board for the Society for the Advancement of Women's Health Research, advising Congress on health issues affecting women.

Research can find new ways to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease and reduce its health and economic toll on our nation. Because of research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the death rate for heart disease in the U.S. has decreased by more than 60 percent since 1940, and 70 percent for stroke in the same time period. A stable and predictable funding stream for NIH-funded research holds the promise of future treatments and cures for cardiovascular disease.
Our federal advocacy priorities for research are:
- Protect federal support for the NIH, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the National Center on Health Statistics.
- Advocate for increased NIH funding for heart and stroke research.

Hi all,
Since A few years now (more or less when we understood that flysurfer was stopping the development of the psycho -- I had it in 4m, 6m, 8m and 10m DL and traveled in many places around the world with them), I, with other members of LesFoilz.com, have been looking for a foil kite dedicated to wave riding (just for information, I ride strapless and I paddle surf with the same boards). In 2012, after sending emails around to foil kite designers to convince them that it was a good idea (I am a bit stubborn and patient), I started to exchange with Benoît Tremblay from Concept Air and he proved to be a very friendly Quebec style kite magician who accepted to work on the idea. Here is the result of a few years of exchanges, prototypes and tests:
Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 on LesFoilz.com
This is the first test fly of the new Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 (in French but I can help if needed)
. More testing has to be done, but the first hour of testing in waves made me smile and I though I could start to share this (and the magician said it was ok for him too)...

Bill Maher is the funny man, but Donald Trump may have gotten the last laugh.
During an episode of the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on January 7, Maher and Leno talked politics, and Maher made a few jabs at Hamptons billionaire visitor Donald Trump. In mocking Trump's hair color, Maher urged Trump to prove that he is not the "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan" by showing his birth certificate. To sweeten the pot, Maher stated that he would throw in a cool $5 million to be donated to a charity of Trump's choice. Maher suggested "Hair Club for Men" or the "Institute for Incorrigible Douchebaggery." The offer was clearly meant to poke fun at Trump's earlier YouTube proposal to President Obama, but unlike the President, Trump has apparently made good on Maher's offer. (Scroll down to watch Maher on Leno and see a copy of Trump's birth certificate)
In a letter obtained by Yahoo, Trump's lawyer, Scott S. Balber, writes:
January 8, 2013
Mr. Bill Maher
Real Time with Bill Maher
CBS Studios
7800 Beverly Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Dear Mr. Maher:
I represent Mr. Donald J. Trump. I write on his behalf to accept your offer (made during the Jay Leno Show on January 7, 2013) that Mr. Trump prove he is not the "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan."
Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump's birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan. Please remit the $5 million to Mr. Trump immediately and he will ensure that the money be donated to the following five charities in equal amounts: Hurricane Sandy Victims, The Police Athletic League, The American Cancer Society, The March of Dimes, and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Scott S. Balber
You're move, Maher.
