Comments about Touch n' Tuff Disposable Nitrile Exam Gloves (100/bx):
I like these because they are the best-fitting, most durable powder-free nitrile glove I can find. They are durable ( use for multiple wearings), but thin enough for good picking up small items.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Why is the valance only 63"?
Details:Each drape is 42" which means it could cover a window up to 84" wide. Yet the valance is only 63". My window is 71" wide so i need a wider valance. I noticed the Bone Collector drapes come with a valance that is 88" wide but i would much prefer the Browning drapes.
1 year ago
A:The drapes are 42" flat. Then the drapes are hung they are scrunched to produce waves, which shortens the length below the 63" valance length.

Matches Genes to Diets
As science peers deeper into the genetic make-up of humans, a new branch of study, nutrigenomics, seeks to explore the correlation between people's "gene expressions" and the diets best suited to them.
A gene expression is the conversion of information encoded in a gene first into messenger RNA and then into a protein. Nutrigenomics studies genetic factors that influence how a body responds to different diets as well as agents in food that can affect gene expression.
Hopes are that this relatively new branch of science will be able to match each person's unique genetic make-up with the foods that help it function best. If successful, the approach could work as a preventive measure, forestalling the development of such diseases as diabetes through the creation of custom diets.
The December 2008 Special Issue of OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology, carries part 1 of a two-part series on the topic. The second part will be published in spring.
Categories: Diabetes, Diabetes, Diets, Food, Nutrition Research

Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson said investigators were able to use dental records to match the body to Fuqua. Her death is now classified as a homicide, Amerson said.
"We are obviously shifting gears from a missing persons to a murder investigation," Amerson said by phone this morning.
Investigators had believed the body could be one of four people missing from the Piedmont area since 1990, including Fuqua. Fuqua was 28 at the time of her disappearance.
Amerson said his office is working with the Piedmont Police Department, the Calhoun County District Attorney's Office, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force on the investigation.

— Nate Sikma does impersonations.
"He does it with his brothers, he does it with me," his dad, Jack, said Friday. "He's a creative kid. He's not that outgoing with it in public, but he slips them in at the dinner table all the time."
"Nate's the funniest guy on the team," Hartford coach John Gallagher said. "He does imitations of me. He even got up in front of 250 people at our preseason banquet and did one."
Gallagher broke into his breathy, "How you feelin', man?" It was Gallagher doing Sikma doing Gallagher, which was just fine with the Hawks' third-year coach.
"When you're trying to change a program, you've got to get guys who see the vision with you," Gallagher said of his 6-6 sophomore captain. "Nate understands we really haven't won here since the '80s. To change this, we have to change habits. He's a habit-changer. I feel, in a lot of ways, he's an extension of me."
One matter Sikma certainly doesn't seem weighed down by is trying too hard to be an extension of his dad. Impersonating people can be a hoot, but other people's expectations that you'll impersonate your 6-11 father on the court — especially since he was a seven-time NBA All-Star — can be unhealthy.
"Nate's his own man," Gallagher said.
"My dad let me develop my own love for the game, didn't force it on me," Nate said. "And as I've gotten older, I've gotten more open to his criticisms and his teaching points, which I think is pretty neat.
"Being an NBA player's son people are going to think, 'Oh he's going to be good.' There's definitely that pressure. But I never tried to put undue pressure on myself. You do that you're just going to make it worse. I actually really liked hearing about my dad from other people's perspective. My dad's awesome."
Gallagher, whose underclass-heavy Hawks have risen to 17-15 since a 0-13 start last season, runs a creative offensive scheme developed by Fran O'Hanlon of Lafayette. It is predicated on timing, spacing and cutting. In the system, the 4-man [Sikma] has to be able to shoot. Sikma is fourth in scoring with 6.7 points. He's also second in rebounds and assists and third in three-pointers made. He has scored as many as 26 points against Arizona State and as few as none twice.
Asked if there was inconsistency, Gallagher answered, "I don't think so. He's of the mind-set, 'If they're keying on me, I'll get it to the open man.'
"Nate has a great sense of purpose and poise, hard to find in an 18- and 19-year-old. He understands the game and what we're trying to do. He has varying ways to affect a game. He is a mismatch nightmare."
Sikma, interestingly enough, has taken as many as 20 shots against Arizona State and as few as none in 35 minutes against Mount St. Mary's.
"I think I've done a good job of picking up the offense, and I think I can pick up even more," Nate said. "There are so many possibilities. You have to think it out. It's a really strategic offense. Being a 4 man in it, I can have the ball in my hands a lot and make a lot of decisions."
With six seniors leaving after the 2010-11 season, Gallagher had a huge challenge and a terrific recruiting opportunity. His assistant Chris Gerlufsen saw Sikma play. He called Gallagher and told him to get out to Seattle, that Nate was perfect for the system. It turned out Sikma's Bellevue High School coach Chris O'Connor played and coached at New Hampshire.
"I walked into a gym and Chris tells me, 'My uncle is [Sacred Heart coach] Dave Bike,' " Gallagher. "I watched them practice for 15 minutes. He came back over and said, 'Initial thoughts?' I said, 'Yeah, he has a full scholarship to Hartford.'"
Jack, then an assistant coach with the Houston Rockets, was in Portland having dinner with his wife, Shawn, when they got the call from their son.
"Nathan was happy," said Jack, now an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves. "He had been frustrated because he and his team were having a good year [advancing to the state title game], but he hadn't gotten any sniffs from teams in the Northwest."
There would be only one more D-1 offer, New Hampshire. He visited UHart. He loved it.
"Six other freshmen would be coming in with me," Sikma said. "I thought it would give me a chance to develop a strong relationship with them, to make the NCAA Tournament and have a good college experience."

Quips From A Clerk: Individual Issues vs. Trade Paperbacks
A question often asked in the shop is what is the best way to read comics. Read them collected in trade paperback form, or wait month to month for individual issues. Honestly its a personal preference, but I feel some series are better to be read collected rather than waiting. Most of the horror and mystery genre is included in that.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers standout Kordell Stewart has filed for divorce from his TV star wife. In a divorce petition filed Friday in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Stewart says his marriage to Porsha Williams is "irretrievably broken." The pair, who married in May 2011, appear on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They have no kids, but Stewart has a son from a previous relationship.
Stewart asks the court to find there are no marital assets to divide, saying Williams is "an able-bodied person, earning income, and is capable of supporting herself."
Rapper's woes
As if one wasn't enough. Gucci Mane is facing yet another assault claim.
The rapper (born Radric Davis) has an arrest warrant out for him in Atlanta over a claim that he hit an Army soldier over the head with a champagne bottle at a nightclub on March 16. Now a second man has come forward, according to WSBTV 2 in Atlanta. Identified only as TJ, the alleged victim told cops that Gucci, 33, assaulted him at a Philadelphia club, two nights after the initial incident. He said the Spring Breakers co-star punched him in the jaw, knocking off his glasses, after he tried to meet him and shake his hand.
Guest from hell
No, Mike Tyson wasn't involved. Clive Mantle, known for HBO's Game of Thrones, is recovering from surgery to reattach part of his ear, his spokesman told the BBC. Mantle, 55, was allegedly bitten early Sunday at a Travelodge in the U.K., after he told some guests to keep the noise down. The suspect was charged with wounding with intent.
In gratitude
Karen Black's husband, filmmaker Stephen Eckelberry, is overwhelmed by her fans' support. He wrote on his GoFundMe webpage titled "Help Karen Beat Cancer," launched on March 14, that the fundraising site had already raised more than $36,000, surpassing the $32,000 goal.
Black, 73, has ampullary cancer, a tumor where the bile duct and pancreatic duct meet. She needs the money for experimental treatment in Europe not covered by her insurance.
Taxman cometh
Dionne Warwick has filed for Chapter Seven bankruptcy over tax liens dating back to the 1990s. The singer, 72, filed on March 21. Warwick blames her ex business manager, who "mismanaged her affairs," her attorney Daniel Stolz told Rolling Stone. "She's actually paid more than the face amount of the taxes, but with all of the crazy interest and penalties that they add, the number kept mushrooming," Stolz said.

Health Law Externship Program Management
How Students Are Supervised
Supervision of students in the Health Law Externship commences before the students are placed in an externship opportunity. Students interested in a Health Law Externship must contact the Externship Director of their interest the semester before applying. The Externship Director will determine if the prerequisites for JD students of (1) at least a 2.7 GPA, (2) successful completion of LAW 702 Professional Responsibility with a "C" or better, and (3) have taken LAW 709 Health Law I (Liability and Quality) or LAW 710 Health Law II (Regulating the Health Care Industry). If these criteria have been met, students interested in a Health Law Externship are required to meet with the Externship Director who will review the student resumes and discuss the criteria of the externship and potential placement opportunities. As part of this meeting, students must submit, in writing, their personal and professional objectives for the externship and career goals. These will be further discussed and utilized for placement decisions.
The objectives of the externship are fully explained during the meeting, such as the criteria for the number of hours at the externship, responsibility to report to the supervising attorney at the placement, class meetings, online assignments, and reflective paper. The Externship Director will discuss with the students the various field placements that would best suit their needs. When the Externship Director and students agree to a placement the Externship Director will forward a copy of the student's resume to the sponsor, who is also a practicing attorney. If the resume is approved by the sponsor, he/she will contact the student for an interview. This process provides students with interview skills and the opportunity to meet the sponsor and staff, and become familiar with the facility. The interview also provides direct feedback between the student and the sponsor which provides both the opportunity to decline the placement if their expectations are not met.
When a sponsor offer has been accepted by the student, the students is required to sign and present a
Clinical Credit Approval
(.pdf) to Prof. Grena for either 2 or 3 course credits, a
Memorandum of Understanding
(.docx) for the externship as well as a student
Externship Authorization
The sponsor is provided with the
criteria for the externship
(.docx). He/She also receives a
Memorandum of Agreement
(.docx) outlining the responsibilities for accepting a health law extern. The sponsor then completes a
Placement Plan
(.docx) outlining the objectives and type of work that shall be completed by the extern. The objectives in the Plan provide for experienced based education and practical skills training. The supervision also includes responsibility of assigning appropriately challenging work under his/her supervision which may take the form of review of drafts, discussion of noteworthy practical, substantive and ethical skills, as well as mutual objectives for the externship. The sponsor is required to complete both a
(.pdf) evaluation and
final evaluation
(.pdf) of the students' performances on the prescribed evaluation tools provided by the Externship Director.
The Externship Director is available at all times to both the students and the sponsor to discuss the placement and any comments and concerns from either party. Students are encouraged to contact the Externship Director and provide weekly updates. In addition, students are required to attend six (6) classroom discussions as well as two (2) individual meetings to review their mid-term and final evaluations. Students must complete a ten (10) page reflective writing paper. The reflective paper requires use of the original objectives for choosing the externships placement, the placement plan and outcomes discussed with the sponsor during the mid-term and final evaluation meeting.
How Students Receive Feedback
Students receive feedback from multiple sources throughout the semesters. Their initial feedback is from their sponsor. Students are encouraged to meet with their supervisor weekly and provide updates of their accomplishments in return for feedback on work product and skill development. Students also receive feedback from the Externship Director, as well as the peers in their class, during their externship meetings. Discussions range from negotiation tactics, legal reasoning and research assignments, working cooperatively with others as a team, factual investigation, organization of notes and work product to professionalism. Students also receive feedback in mid semester and at the end of their externship during their meeting with their sponsor. This opportunity provides a method to review objectives, skill sets and discuss any concerns. Students discuss future goals and resume updates for their next placement opportunity with their Externship Director. The Externship Director further provides comments and feedback through the return of the reflective paper.
Accountability of Sponsors
The accountability of the sponsor commences with the signing of the supervising attorney's Memorandum of Agreement and the development of the Placement Plan. The Placement Plan outlines the objectives discussed with the extern, the sponsor's responsibility for supervision as well as the method of evaluation. The Plan details the type of work expected to be completed by the extern. This accountability includes assigning the student (140) hours per semester of appropriately challenging work under his/her supervision. The sponsor is also required to complete both a mid-term and final evaluation of the students' performances on prescribed evaluation tools from the Externship Director and provide feedback to the externs both on a weekly basis as well as through the evaluation tools.
Grading Criteria
Students receive a Pass/ Fail grade based on a variety of criteria. These include successful completion of the course requirements which consist of weekly threaded discussions, participation in the class meetings, and strength of the reflective paper assignment. The grading criteria take into strong consideration the mid-term and final evaluations of the sponsor.

Report: Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey to face charges
A nation-best 1,929 rushing yards. Twenty-three rushing touchdowns. Heisman votes. A bowl game victory.
Carey's offseason, though, is an entirely different story.
Word leaked Sunday that an issue of protection was ordered against Carey.
Monday it has been reported by the Arizona Daily Star that charges will be filed against the 20-year-old.
According to the report, the charges come due to an incident involving Carey's pregnant ex-girlfriend.
Both Carey and the woman "showed injuries consistent with some type of physical altercation," Tucson police spokesman Sgt. Chris Widmer said.
Police took statements from both Carey and the woman and they were separated.
The case was passed on to domestic violence detectives who turned the case to Tucson City Court for review.
The City Prosecutor and detectives made a decision to file charges against Carey, Widmer said.
The specific charges will be released at the hearing, but also noted in the report is that in asking for the order of protection, the woman wrote that Carey entered a room looking for a lighter to smoke an illegal substance.
She wrote that she asked Carey to leave several times and he pushed and shoved his way into the room and knocked her to the floor and slammed her fingers in the door.
Not all of the information and details have been learned, and the point of any trial would be to determine what exactly happened. As of now, though, things do not currently look good for Arizona football's best player.

The headline might seem obvious, but a study published in the medical journal Neurology found that teens and children who are perfectly healthy are routinely being prescribed ADHD medications as "study drugs"-often asked for by parents.
Plus: 10 Great Toys for Kids with Special Needs
The Los Angeles Times reports that over three percent of 12th graders who take ADHD meeds do so for reasons other than its intended use. Additionally, parents-and teens old enough to ask for medication-are taking advantage of the pervasiveness of ADHD and the prescription of stimulants to get the drugs as test-taking "steroids," or a way to boost focus and attention.
Plus: Is it ADHD or Immaturity?
Study author William Graf, MD, of Yale said that it's up to doctors to refrain from prescribing these medications to otherwise healthy kids. "Doctors caring for children and teens have a professional obligation to always protect the best interests of the child, to protect vulnerable populations, and prevent the misuse of medication," he said in a press release about the study.
Have you noticed an increase of ADHD medications in your child's school?

Five wild moments of fan interference in the MLB postseason
What makes a baseball fan throw caution to the wind and risk life and limb when a ball is hit within 50 feet of him? We're not sure, but we do know that there have been many instances over the years where the action on the field has spilled into the stands. With baseball's postseason upon us, here are some especially noteworthy instances of fan interference.
1. Steve Bartman/Moises Alou (2003)
The situation: Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series, with the Chicago Cubs leading the Florida Marlins 3-0 in the bottom of the eighth inning at Wrigley Field. The Cubs were five outs away from their first World Series appearance since 1945.
What happened: Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo hit a high foul ball toward the stands down the left field line. As Cubs left fielder Moises Alou reached for the ball, so did a fan named Steve Bartman. The ball bounced off Bartman's hand and into the stands, and Alou and the Cubs pleaded for a ruling of fan interference to no avail. Castillo walked on the next pitch, starting an eight-run rally aided by a key error by Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez.
The outcome: The Marlins won the game 8-3 to force Game 7, which they won 9-6 to capture their second National League pennant. Florida would go on to beat the Yankees in six games to win its second world championship. Bartman's gaffe became embedded in the lore of a franchise which last won a World Series in 1908.
2. Tony Tarrasco/Jeffrey Maier (1996)
The situation: Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series, with the Orioles leading the Yankees 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning.
What happened: Yankees rookie shortstop Derek Jeter hit a fly ball to deep right field off Orioles reliever Armando Benitez. Right fielder Tony Tarasco backed up to the wall and reached up to make the catch, but a fan -- later identified as 11-year-old Jeffrey Maier -- reached over the fence and tried to catch the ball before Tarasco could do so. Umpire Rich Garcia ruled it a home run despite vehement protests by Tarasco, Benitez and Orioles manager Davey Johnson.
The outcome: The game went into extra innings, and Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams won it in the 11th inning with a solo home run. New York went on to win the series in five games en route to its first World Series title since 1978.
3. Shane Victorino (2009)
The situation: Two outs, bottom of the eighth inning of Game 5 of the 2009 National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies, with Philadelphia leading 9-4.
What happened: With a runner on first base, Philadelphia's Shane Victorino hit a deep fly ball to right field off Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario that caromed off the top of the fence. Umpire Ted Barrett quickly ruled that a fan had touched the ball, limiting Victorino to a double.
The outcome: The runner on first, shortstop Jimmy Rollins, scored the final run in a 10-4 Phillies victory that clinched the NLCS and sent Philadelphia to its second straight World Series.
4. Robinson Cano (2010)
The situation: Game 4 of the 2010 American League Championship Series, scoreless in the bottom of the second inning at Yankee Stadium.
What happened: Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano hit a towering drive to right field that bounced off the top of the fence and into the seats for a home run. Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz leaped at the wall trying to catch the ball and claimed that a fan interfered with the play.
The outcome: Umpire Jim Reynolds ruled that the home run would stand. The Rangers, however, would rally and pull away for a 10-3 win and would go on to win the ALCS in six games on the way to their first World Series berth.
5. Nelson Cruz/Matt Holliday (2011)
The situation: Game 3 of the 2011 World Series, with the Cardinals leading the Rangers 14-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning.
What happened: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz hit a sacrifice fly to his Cardinals counterpart, Matt Holliday. As Holliday camped under the ball, a fan in the left field bleachers tossed another ball onto the field. It landed several feet to Holliday's left. Holliday made the play.
The outcome: The fan was ejected from the game, and the Cardinals went on to a 16-7 win. St. Louis would capture its 11th World Series championship after rallying twice to win a memorable Game 6, then capturing Game 7, 6-2.

What is Car Sickness?
Any motion that a pet is not used to can cause them to feel ill and disorientated. While some animals see a car trip as an exciting journey, for others it can become a stressful time of feeling ill and unwell. The first signs of car sickness are yawning and excessive drooling (sometimes followed by vomiting).


text: Uptown Greenwood continues to grow and flourish. It has become a destination point for business, food, beverage, arts and entertainment. The city's center is, in short, Point Central for Greenwood County. And beyond.So, what might Uptown look like sometime down the road? Hard to say, of course, but a few thoughts come to mind.Following the successful closing of Main Street for the Festival of Discovery and Greenwood Blues Cruise, is it out of the realm of possibility to imagine that on a more permanent basis? Traffic that does not need to cut through the city's center could be rerouted, roadways changed to accommodate the added traffic flow. Those destined for Uptown could be given access to parking behind Main Street. A low-level parking deck? Why not? There is certainly room for one where the expansive municipal parking lot is now. Underground access? Why not? Imagine if a tram or something similar were employed to ferry people to and from parking.In such a scenario, what would happen to Main Street? Simple. The widest Main Street in America could have a central green space. Maybe that green space could include an amphitheater where the Live After Five concerts and other events could be staged.JUST IMAGINE HOW SUCH A green space could and would complement the Festival of Flowers topiary display. Done correctly, Main Street and the green space could still work well to accommodate the Festival of Discovery cooking teams.Sounds far-fetched, perhaps, but is it really? Consider what is happening already with some of the Uptown structures. There are two nice condo units above the old Barksdale Building that houses several retail stores on the ground floor. The Grier Building already has one floor converted into a condo. Word is, more to come. The Textile Building? That has great potential for additional living space, combined with retail outlets.In short, Greenwood's central point could well become a place where residents not only work, shop, dine and find entertainment, but also live year-round. Everything could be within walking distance for those living here and easily accessed by those coming Uptown to enjoy its many offerings.ONE DAY, PERHAPS NOT TOO long from now, Uptown could be the host of far more events. We already roll from the Festival of Flowers into the Festival of Discovery here, so why not a fall festival that brings everyone Uptown? Live After Five and other concert series could be a year-round activity. Greenwood Community Theatre could take a show to an outdoor stage. The Arts Council could put on an Art in the Park event. Uptown restaurants could host a Taste of Greenwood, complete with a wine and beer tasting hosted by Flynn's and others. The Greenwood Chamber's annual wine walk could take on a new look and feel.This might be the stuff dreams are made of, but then again, the Center City Master Plan that has given us what we already have started out as a dream and became an incredibly successful reality. Options for Uptown Greenwood are boundless. The growth and development are not coming to a standstill, unless we allow or cause it.Whiting is executive editor of the Index-Journal.

Victory for Health Care
"For the first time in our nation's history, Congress has passed comprehensive health care reform. America waited a hundred years and fought for decades to reach this moment. Tonight, thanks to you, we are finally here.
"Consider the staggering scope of what you have just accomplished: Because of you, every American will finally be guaranteed high quality, affordable health care coverage."
Implementation of the Health Care Reform Act's provisions will be staggered over coming years. Some key changes, and the years they take effect, include:
- Children under 19 years of age with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied health insurance coverage.
- Young adults can be covered by their parents' insurance plans until their 26th birthday.
- Seniors will receive a $250 rebate towards filling the "doughnut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage that currently falls between the limit of $2,700 and the threshold for catastrophic coverage, which doesn't occur until $6,154 of prescription expenses.
- Insurers will be prohibited from canceling policies when a person becomes ill.
- Insurers will be prohibited from placing lifetime limits on benefits and using restrictive annual limits.
- A temporary, high-risk pool will cover uninsured people with medical problems, until 2014 when greater coverage expansion begins.
- Businesses of less than 50 employees will receive tax credits for 35 percent of health care premiums paid for their employees.
- Free annual wellness visits, along with prevention plans, start under Medicare.
- Enrollees in Prescription Drug Plan or Medicare Advantage will receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs.
- The Medicare Payroll Tax will increase. Individuals earning more than $200,000, and married couples earning more than $250,000, will pay 2.35 percent instead of the current 1.45 percent.
- An excise tax of 2.3 percent will be charged on the sale of medical devices.
- Government mandate will require most individuals to have coverage or pay a penalty.
- Insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage or charging more for coverage due to a person's medical status.
- Insurers will be prohibited from charging women more than men.
- Medicaid eligibility for the non-elderly will be extended to all individuals with incomes below 133 percent of the poverty level.
- Individuals with incomes above the Medicaid eligibility level, but below 400 percent of the poverty level, can receive credits towards insurance coverage.
- High-cost, employer-provided insurance plans will be subject to an excise tax, which will kick in for family plans costing $27,500 or more, and individual plans costing $10,200 or more.
United Methodist Women across the United States have been engaged in faithful actions of justice, acting to ensure that all people experience the right to health care. We and millions of Americans celebrate what this bill will mean for women and their families. The choice that is in front of us is choosing to support this bill or choosing to support the status quo. The proposal is closer to what the church has called for, and what United Methodist Women support, than the status quo. Those are the only two options legislators are evaluating. Please make your support for reform known!
Thank members of Congress and the President for acting with courage by moving America toward health security. And let them know your hopes for the promises they must still keep.
Dial 202-224-3121 to reach the Capitol switchboard, or contact them at their District Office.

Chris Martin Gossip
Chris Martin gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Gwyneth's begins at the beach
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were in Hawaii for New Year's Eve. Here they are playing on the beach with their kids, Apple and Moses. I never knew my G had two tattoos. I always knew my G would never have to carry around an extra holiday 10 which is what I'm doing right now. Last night we had Polish blood sausage and mashed potatoes like a last supper before the clean eating that begins today… for the Oscars (we're trying to put together an amazing red carpet contest this year!), for my book tour, for my jeans that are tired of digging into my muffin top. Full Story
GOOP's holiday friends
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston hosted a holiday party at her home in Bel Air last night and a lot of famous people showed up including Robert Downey Jr with wife Susan, Tobey Maguire with wife Jennifer Meyer, Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler, and the Paltrow-Martins, Gwyneth and Chris. As we wait for the Vanity Fair hit piece on Gwyneth that might never materialise, well, evenings like these could explain why. Full Story
Gwyneth and the Christmas tree
David M. Benett/ Getty, INF
Is your tree up yet? (If you do the tree thing?) Mine is! It's our first Christmas in our new house so we did a shoot last week for The Social and tricked it out. Except for the lights. Jacek is hanging them next week. Did you hear about that family in Australia that put up half a million Christmas lights to set a world record? Click here Full Story
When the kids are involved…
Chris Martin was papped with his kids out walking the dog the other day. Moses appears to be trailing behind so you can't see him in the shot. But that's Apple and her little friend. Who's her little friend? Well, as Zinnia astutely pointed out (thanks Z!), it looks like Kate Hudson's son Ryder. Full Story
Vanity Fair didn't come between G and Jay
Gwyneth Paltrow didn't want any of her friends to be friends with Vanity Fair. And then Jay Z showed up on the cover of the latest Vanity Fair. Did it come between them? Of course not. As if G could be mad at Jay. There's an upper hand in that relationship. And the power isn't blonde. Full Story
GOOP's garden party -- the video
Have you seen this yet? You have to see it. When you see it you'll understand why I'm obsessed with it. You remember the GOOP garden party Gwyneth Paltrow hosted in the Hamptons a few weeks ago? Um. There's video. Here. See? Now you don't give a sh-t about the scooter. Full Story
Gwyneth and her scooter
AKM-GSI / Splash News
Have you seen that video of Gwyneth Paltrow on her scooter in LA nearly colliding with a school bus? Apple's riding in back. And then Chris Martin – or at least they're saying it's Chris Martin – follows behind in his own scooter with Moses. VIDEO REMOVED. SORRY. Full Story
GOOP & Depp?
Variety reported yesterday that Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor are currently negotiating roles in the upcoming Mortdecai film adaptation starring Johnny Depp. It's about a badass art dealer (Depp, obviously) who's looking for a painting with links to Nazi gold. Full Story
Gwyneth & Chris go out in London
Wenn, FameFlynet
Gwyneth Paltrow was photographed outside The Dorchester yesterday in London. Last night, Chris Martin was photographed leaving a performance of A Curious Night At The Theatre. On the weekend he was at Glastonbury with their kids, Apple and Moses. Unfortunately it wasn't a full family outing. Full Story
I don't have to tell you how rare these are. And they were exclusive and expensive. Which is why I'm working them off on a long weekend in Canada. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were photographed together in London the other day. Smiling. And not running away. Well, not initially. Full Story
Pink Gwyneth at the MET Gala
TIMOTHY A. CLARY /Dimitrios Kambouris /Larry Busacca /Getty Images, Joel Ginsburg /WENN
I am devastated. This is two years in a row now that Gwyneth Paltrow has under-delivered at the MET Gala. Last year she gave us a preview of Anne Hathaway's eventual Oscar dress that was supposed to be Valentino but ended up being Prada because of Amanda Seyfried, except in silver. Click here Full Story
Gwyneth goes home for the Carters
Gwyneth Paltrow is back in London. I'm told she was at dinner at Zuma last night with Chris Martin and their kids, Apple and Moses, and Jay-Z. Jay's in England because Beyonce kicks off 6 shows at the O2 tonight. There's a very good chance then that G and family will make it to at least one of them this week. Full Story
Gwyneth: A Distraction
Splash, FameFlynet
What's Gwyneth Paltrow up to? Being real chic, obviously. Below are pictures of Gwyneth, Apple and Moses boarding a train from London to Paris (and also previously unposted pics of them when they arrived in Paris a few days earlier). They all look stylish and casual, none of them really trying too hard. Full Story
Chris & Coldplay support GOOP
Gwyneth Paltrow's second cookbook It's All Good was released this week. People are praising it and trashing it all over the place. Many of you have linked me to this Washington Post article that both praises and trashes her. Which, to me, as you'd know if you've been reading my blog long enough, is how I approach my G.

CI Games is no stranger to first person shooters, since one of their biggest hits is the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series. Their new sci-fi FPS Alien Rage: Unlimited takes a step away from Ghost Warrior by focusing on fast paced arcade-style action with tons of explosions and automatic weapons. Alien Rage runs off the Unreal 3 engine, and between the gameplay and the narrator calling out your killing sprees- it feels a lot like the old Unreal Tournament games.
Alien Rage is one of the few shooters I've played in a long time that places the scoring system as an important part of gameplay, since your score unlocks player perks like extended magazines and damage resistance. You obviously get points for killing aliens, but you get more for headshots, explosions, and sprees. I liked the multiplayer rewards system being placed in the single player campaign, it gave a nice twist that encouraged me to fight stylishly instead of efficiently, which really fits the action movie tone.
The story is your standard sci-fi fare: Humans discover an asteroid that could solve an energy crisis back on Earth, but after we set up a mining facility with a faction of aliens, they decide to kill everyone and take over the asteroid. That's where you step in- Jack the Space Marine, ass-kicker extraordinaire. Your mission: kill a bunch of aliens, infiltrate the facility, and blow it up. Because if mankind can't have it, no one can. The only backup you have is a female A.I. and what I think is an old army buddy of Jack's talking through a comm-link. Jack's witty one-liners range from "No room for a logic circuit?" to "F**k you!", and the dialogue between him and his two cohorts is just as inspired. I can't for the life of me understand why they would give you two back-at-base buddies to talk to you throughout the game. Their banter gets annoying after a while, since they bicker with each other about as often as they say anything helpful. Every level has three hidden audio logs that provide more background for the relationship between the humans and Vorus, but it's not much deeper or innovative than the surface story. But you know what? The thin story and lame dialogue didn't bother me that much- because when I play Alien Rage, I'm not in it for the story or to learn about the rich Vorus culture- I'm in it to shoot big guns and blow up as many aliens as possible. And that's what Alien Rage does best.
There's your standard FPS arsenal: pistol, shotguns, assault rifles, snipers, and of course, a BFG. Each gun also has an alt-fire that usually causes some kind of explosion by lobbing a grenade or shooting a giant energy pulse. There's also a melee attack, but the physics around it are hilariously wonky. For some reason, your melee attacks have more blowback than an explosive barrel; but it makes earning melee sprees entertaining, even if it doesn't make sense that your punches have the force of a Fus Ro Dah. The one thing that kept bugging me is that for some reason, you can't jump high enough to get on a two foot tall box. If you can't jump high enough to do anything, why have a jump at all?
One arcade-era absence I was grateful for is the 'limited time invincibility bonus!' Instead, you get a minigun, which is by far the best gun in the game. So instead of picking up a cube that lets you walk through whatever enemies come next regardless of how good you are, you just get a kickass gun. And since you usually have to get it from an enemy heavy that's using it against you, you have to earn that BFG.
The graphics in Alien Rage are really good, but it seems to have an issue with frame rates. I don't have the best gaming set up, but I had to have the graphics turned down to medium just to play it- even then, it slowed down to a chug when there were multiple explosions on screen (which happened as often as you'd expect in a game full of guns and grenades that takes place in a mine). I've seen similar complaints on forums, plus a few people complaining about other glitches. I never experienced anything game-breaking, the worst I came across was the one time I had to restart from a checkpoint because the warrior that was supposed to clear my path didn't spawn. Other than that, I only got a few floating limbs from blown-up corpses.
The enemies you come across are diverse lot. There's three standard classes: the grunts that turn invisible and shank you- these guys should always be your priority targets; your standard warriors, each of them with enough firepower to kill you by themselves; and the grenadiers, which are essentially heavily armed warriors that only use their explosive alt-fires. Eventually, special forces will get thrown into the mix, like the minigun-wielding heavies (each one of these guys is like a miniboss by themselves) and the jetpack warriors. I loved killing the jetpack warriors- they always go limp, tailspin into the nearest wall and explode. Imagine that the three stooges were heavily armed aliens with M-80s strapped to their backs, it's hilarious.
The multiplayer is fun, if a bit repetitive. All of the required skill and action from the campaign are in the multiplayer, but the few times I logged in the only two game types were Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. It would have been nice to have some objective-based games just to mix it up a bit. The community is pretty small right now, so maybe they just don't have the base for games like that. Because there's so few people playing right now, you usually fight the same people over and over again, and the games have a slower pace since there's not a lot happening. But when you get in a confrontation it's way more intense than the campaign, especially in the Team Deathmatch games. Hopefully the community picks up a bit so the multiplayer can really shine.
My ultimate verdict of Alien Rage: Unlimited is that the story and dialog aren't anything new or interesting. In fact, there isn't much about this game that brings anything new to the table. But there's a lot about it that hits you right in the nostalgia. If you grew up Unreal Tournament and Halo like I did, and you're looking for a game where you blow stuff because it's fun- Alien Rage: Unlimited is worth your $19.99.
