Khloe & Lamar Season Finale Recap: Is Khloe a Biological Kardashian?!?!?!by Free Britney at .
They say all good things must come to an end.
So, too, must Khloe & Lamar.
Amid the surprising downturn in his career, the divorce rumors and reports that the show will end after last night's season finale, the stakes were high for the beloved couple.
Did they persevere, prove that love always conquers all, and end the season (possibly the series) on a high note? Let's find out in our Khloe & Lamar recap ...
Khloe Kardashian notices Lamar Odom acting a little off. "I'm not used to this negative, somber man," she said. Reality TV will do that too a man. Minus 20.
Lamar admits that he's been holding a lot of pain in, especially after the violent death of his cousin. Okay, Plus 20 to negate our previous snap judgment.
"Every time when I'm like really down and out, no matter what, Khlo - is one person I can always count on." Plus 10 for that genuinely sweet sentiment.
Then things quickly turn scripted again when Kim calls about the celebrity gossip story of the week Khloe is not a biological Kardashian. Minus 15.Rob Kardashian pulls a practical joke related to that topic. Too soon. But Plus 10.
"Wouldn't you just want to know 100 percent?" Kourtney asks, urging Khlo to take a DNA test to settle the fact that her father is her father. Yawn. Minus 10.
"It's important to stay strong for each other," Lamar says. "I just need to be a good husband, be thoughtful and let Khlo know how grateful I am." Plus 20.
His pre-taped video while Khloe is co-hosting The Talk? Cute. Plus 5.
The giraffe? Now we're talking dutiful hubby material. Plus 5 more.
"Is it bothering you that these rumors about who's who keep popping up every day?" mom Kris asks. "Because it's really upsetting me." Sure it is. Minus 15.
"I am one million percent comfortable with not getting a DNA test and knowing that my father is my father," she says. "I'm more than happy to live with that for the rest of my life." Why let fake rumors bother you, it's true? Plus 10.
"If I had to put a title on this year I would probably call it the Trying Times," Lamar Odom says, reflecting on the season. "So many things happened."
"Life changed for us. We've lost and we've gained. But at the end of the day, everything that we've been through has just made us closer." Plus 10.

khloe and lamar are great, i lv em. i no theres been alot of different rumours about there relationship but the only 1 tht i hope isnt true and will neva be true is tht they divorce. they are a great couple and i wish them all the luck and happiness in the world. go team odams!!!!!
This is so stupid don't people have better things to do with there lifes,khloe you and lamar are amazing togethet.kim kardassian should not be a kardasion why?? Cause she is a total bitch you are so much better then her.I love what you have just done with your life your my 2 role moddel,first is my mom then you..Lamar you are a wonderful husband(take care of your lady)
Love Khloe and Lamar. I hope they make it as a couple and family in the future with kids. Khloe (and Bruce) are the two most grounded of that family and she deserves her happiness. I just think she needs to get away from the drama (which unfortunately means her family a majority of the time) Khloe, privately find out about the dad issue. When you involve children you never know what will come up from past generations and you owe it to any future children (and yourself) to be ready for any issues that may occur. Nobody needs to know but you and your family - it's a private issue! Good luck!

I don't know where you found a water heater with legs.
The new water heaters with the flame guard haven't been made with legs (feet) or sumpthin like that for about eight years.
The new water heaters are flat on the bottom.
By the time you call out a plumber and pay him to change out the anode, you're part way to a new heater.
And if you can't pull it with all the power tools you've been throwing at it, then I doubt that he can do it either.

120 Charter Oak St, Manchester, CT | Directions 0604041.764345 -72.514870
Daily, 11:30am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Martins
Great music, lousy service – Upon entering, The Hungry Tiger looks like your local pub. Nice atmosphere, many unique wall decorations including photos of many performers who have been there. The food was good. When the band began playing, it was a bit too loud for the size of the space. Be sure to bring your earplugs or the ringing will be unbearable the next day. That's where the niceties stopped. Getting a drink was very hard. The waitress ignored our party for very long stretches. The head bartender (as told by a few patrons) was rude. When waiting for a drink, she spent a lot of time chtting with the regulars, completely ignoring others at the bar. Tough to miss people waiting for a drink since the bar is only about 14 feet long. When she would walk by and I tried to get her attention, she would rudely say things like, 'if you don't wait your turn, I won't serve you ' or "Don't call me, I will get to you when I am done with them(the regulars at the end of the bar)" and the proceed to go to them and chat for a bit. Many people at the bar said she is rude all the time and won't serve you if, as they said, "she gets her undies in a bunch". Overall, it's a nice place, but the service staff could use some training classes.
Not recommended. – On a Thursday night, the cover charge was quite high to see an unknown band. The guy at the door said the band was famous. I had doubts about this claim to fame since the place was nearly empty! We sat down at a table, and I was enjoying the evening until...The band started playing. I don't know what the sound guy was thinking of, but he cranked up the PA to its absolute maximum. It was painfully loud. I could not get the server's attention for another drink because she could not hear me. We had to get the drinks at the bar, and even then I was screaming into the bartender's ear. I wasn't expecting to need earplugs listening to a blues band in a bar where the crowd numbered no more than twenty. We didn't stay long, but my ears were ringing the next day. Unacceptable.
Seven nights a week there are acoustic sets, blues jams and national acts on stage. – The Scene
There's an intimate ambiance at Hungry Tiger that can't be matched by any other club in the area. Where else could you push a car out of a snow bank with bluesman Matt Murphy during his break? Or hang out with the evening's performers before their show? You may even get to share some Tex-Mex before their set. The club's capacity is only 150, so there's always a friendly vibe.
The Draw
Ten beers on tap (Bass, Labatts, Red Stripe), 15 bottled domestics and imports, specialty rums and tequilas and a full bar to mix up cocktails. Ribs, burgers and six varieties of wings are highlights of the primarily Tex-Mex menu. Folks fill up each Monday before the open-mic Blues jam with all-you-can-eat fajita specials.
best damn everything – check out michelle.......... shes the best!!! the live music every night is also a plusplusplus!!! the people that rotate thru the bar are some great easy going people, laid back and looking for fun!
Donnie's Den...Devine!!!! – Donnie's place "The Hungary Tiger" is a nice quaint establishment.....featuring great Live Entertainment! and good food at reasonable prices.
Donnie makes all his partrons feel warm and welcomed......once you visited the "Tiger"....wether it be for food, drinks or evening entertainment , you will return. The "Tiger" is soon to be under renovations to expand.....this change will greatly enhance its already well known establishment.
Be patient my friends during the process.......cuz Donnies making it "bigger and better"!

Warm Up Your Bathroom with Towel Radiators
450mm Wide Chrome Towel Radiators are a great thing for a small bathroom, which is excessively wet, cold or both at the same time. Wet air is a wonderful condition for a fungus, which often causes a lot of troubles from both the esthetic point of view, ruining the interior of the bathroom, and the matter of health, as it is extremely dangerous for humans.
Your Bathroom Needs to Be Dry
In order to avoid it or effectively fight it in your dwelling, you need to add some heating to your bathroom, which will make the air dry, and together with it the wet clothes or towels. Such towel rails can be encountered in various sizes and forms. The principle of their acting is alike, yet, not the same. Some of the towel radiators are heated with the hot water from the pipes, others are powered by the electricity, being filled with some mineral oil or something of the kind, or having a cord running inside the empty railing.
Consider the Sizes
Choosing some towel rails, you need to be precise about the size of your bathroom, as, being diverse in sizes, some of the chrome towel radiators can be either too big for you or too small. The flat chrome towel radiators with 450mm wide are a good choice for those bathrooms, which are of the medium size, as for the small ones it can be too much. It is better to choose those towel rails, which are heated with electricity, because they can be fixed onto any wall, and besides that, their temperature will always be the same: enough for drying, too low to get scalded. They can also be turned on or off based on your decision, which will help you save the electrical power. In any case, nothing will be so effective for drying your bathroom floor to ceiling as a towel radiator.

23-Year-Old Died Playing Video Games In An Internet Cafe! (Nobody Noticed For 9 Hours)
Description: A Taiwanese man died while playing video games at an Internet cafe as dozens of other patrons carried on for hours afterwards apparently unaware that they were sitting near a corpse, according to police. The 23-year-old checked in at the cafe in New Taipei city on Tuesday night and was found dead but still sitting rigidly on a chair with his hands stretched out the following night by a waitress, police said. The waitress last saw him talking on the phone around noon on Wednesday and his body had apparently been sitting there for up to nine hours without any of the 30 other people in the cafe noticing.

We are the kings of cheap!
I have done that trick on many homeowners who complained that they couldnt afford to fix their unit, never had to go back on one after doing that for at least a few years.
Congrats on the quick fix, now start budgeting to replace your unit in the next few years.

The Collinses rarely go on vacation without Augustus, their 30-pound, 7-year-old pug. They have the photo to prove it: A snapshot of Dianemarie and "Auggie Doggie" on vacation last year at Arches National Park in Utah has been printed in "Traveling With Your Pet, 12th Edition: The AAA Petbook," which was released in May.
The Collinses, who live in south Reno, had their photo selected out of 50,000 entries to be one of 40 published. The book is one of many on the subject of taking a pet on vacation, but as the local celebrity spokesdog on the topic, it seemed appropriate to sit down with Augustus and his people to discuss their experiences on the road. Auggie spent most of the interview showing off toys or lounging in his bed, deferring to Doug and Dianemarie to do most of the talking.
"When you have a pug, they were born for one thing and one thing only and that's companionship," said Doug, 59, as he explained why he takes his dog sightseeing.
With that frame of mind, the Collinses said planning is the key to traveling with a pet. For them, that process starts with training. Augustus sleeps in a 4-foot by 2-foot gated crate at night, which has helped prepare him for the container he rides in while driving or while sleeping in hotel rooms. He is also trained to sleep only on his pillow, Doug said, so he does not climb on and shed all over hotel furniture.
With most of their vacationing done on the West Coast, the Collinses said they drive on most of their trips. They have a kennel for the car, a shoulder bag for carrying and a stroller for pushing their four-legged "grandchild."
Even restaurants that say they only allow service animals typically let Auggie in on account of his charm and cuteness, though cruises and international travel still have very strict rules on animals, Collinses said.
Taking along an animal requires stops every few hours, Doug said, which many people tell them can be cumbersome. But the Collinses find it makes them slow down and enjoy the journey more.
"It makes your pace of life so that you stop and smell the roses," Dianemarie said.
When it comes to accommodations, Doug and Dianemarie said they search out hotels and motels that not only welcome pets but have surroundings that are pet-friendly. When they drive through southern Nevada to their second home in Arizona, the Collinses like to stay at a Best Western in Pahrump not just because Auggie is allowed but also because there is grass nearby and good lighting for taking him out at night.
More upscale hotels will offer services to walk a pet so it's not stuck in a room all day when the owners can't take it out with them. The Beazley House in Napa Valley, Calif. served Augustus a dog "beer" made with beef drippings and other nutrients (Beazley House co-owner Carol Beazley said the beverage is no longer being served there). In Beverly Hills, the Collinses said, the dog walkers are often budding movie star beauties.
"They're guys or gals waiting to be stars and one of their jobs during the day is to walk dogs," Doug said.
When it comes to cost, most places will charge an extra fee for bringing a pet to the room but the Collinses balance that with the financial cost of boarding and emotional gain of having their beloved pet with them. Hiltons charge varying amounts up to $100 for pets, the Beazley House charges $30 per day and the Best Western in Pahrump charges $6 per night for pets up to a 20-pound limit. Don't tell Augustus he exceeds the weight limit — you'll hurt his feelings.
"When we weigh the costs, we'd rather have him with us," Doug said.

Last year we made dinner on St.Patrick's Day for my family.
It started off with J making GF Soda Bread as she has in the past. I can't find the recipe right now and we'll probably be able to find it in a few weeks as we'll be making dinner again this year.
Next up, the main attraction. That morning, we had gone to the Farmers Market and picked up some really good carrots in different varieties as you can see below.
This guy was a bit odd...it had....2 legs! It was like Eraserhead only that....it was a carrot.
We had also bought some beef that I started braising early in the day as well as some cabbage. In the middle of cooking, I threw in the rest of the veg which were potatoes and carrots. I didn't want everything turned into mush when it was time to eat.
So, as we got into the truck, Sasha decided that she wanted to drive, but she couldn't see over the steering wheel and her paws couldn't reach everything else..
She opted to ride in the back and watch the flowers.
The main course, which was also accompanied by Red Bridge beer(GF):
Eating a meal like this really brings back memories for me. My grandmother used to make this when I was a kid. She wasn't Irish, but she did make some damn fine food no matter what the occasion.
Ireland post coming next week or the week after!

Well some people may not be comfortable with this because of possible contamination issues but we do often get white rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch from asian stores in the area- we go to this one Korean store in Glendale. If you find other sources, please let me know:)

North Georgia Falls 81-62 at Clayton State
MORROW, GA – North Georgia College &
State University trailed by four at halftime, but the Saints could
never get a lead in the second half, falling 81-62 at Clayton State
University Wednesday evening in Peach Belt Conference action.
North Georgia falls to 8-7 overall and 2-7 in the PBC, while Clayton State puts a halt to a five-game losing streak and improves to 10-5 overall and 3-5 in the conference.
Clayton State led by as many as 11 points midway through the first half before the Saints came back and pulled to within four at intermission. Clayton State scored 18 of their 36 points in the first half behind the arc, but North Georgia used a 23-16 rebounding advantage to keep it close and find themselves down by four at halftime.
Clayton State pushed their second half lead to 10 points at 55-45 with 10:53 left when a Laker Foul was followed by a technical foul, sending North Georgia to the line for four straight free throws where they pulled to within six points at 55-49 with 9:36 remaining.
The Lakers followed North Georgia's run with a stretch of their own that saw them extend their lead to 12 at 63-51 with 6:55 remaining.
In the final minutes, Clayton State built their lead to as many as 20 points before coming away with the 81-62 victory.
Michael Moynihan led three Saints in double figures, scoring 15 points, while Brody Langston and Anthony Rowe tallied 11 points apiece.
The Saints return to action at Georgia Southwestern on January 28, taking on the Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m.

How a Kings Cup Win Changes the Flyers' Season Narrative
Jun 6, 2012, 5:28 PM EDT
the Los Angeles Kings being "Flyers West." We've always said there
wasn't, that it was a term of endearment. We respected the particular
group of Philadelphia expatriates who wound up together in Hollywood.
While those sentiments were and are still true, they came with a smirk
and an attempt to conceal undeserved condescension.
folks in positions of power and a small rotation of former Flyers
wearing a small rotation of Kings uniform variations, the club had
certainly earned the nickname. Failing to sustain any real momentum
toward postseason glory is probably what garnered the seldom spoken
derision, even if the Flyers' own successes, while consistent, also
consistently fell short.
though. Before Simon Gagne signed up to be his teammate again nine days
later. With former captain Richards and decade-long fan-favorite Gagne,
the Kings had undeniably were "Flyers West," but the derision began to
disappear. When Jeff Carter moved in with Richards in Manhattan Beach,
the reference was set in stone and the derision gone entirely, replaced
by a quickly rooted sapling of fear.
chemistry-challenged team that might not even make the playoffs? A team
that had jettisoned its head coach and endured Richards' weakest ever
regular season and a long-term injury to Gagne?
to have been inevitable—that the exiled former Flyers would unite like
Voltron elsewhere and raise Lord Stanley's gift to the league less than
one year after being sent out of Philadelphia against their wishes.
we said when Carter was dealt to LA, we are happy for the two players
who were drafted together and were once proud to be Flyers "for life."
Same goes for Gagne and Williams, though the latter already has a Cup
and will be known in passing as one of the franchise's "what if…?"
stories. Same goes for Ron Hextall, who was so close in 1987, a force
for the league to reckon with. Ten years later, Hexy was back in the
Finals for the Flyers, but as part of an all too familiar goalie
carousel. Now he's Assistant GM under Dean Lombardi, a man who flew
under most fans' radars during his time with the Flyers. We see you now,
to execute as the Flyers GM, and to accept as fans. Carter seemed
destined to live out a purgatorial existence in Columbus, and that's
being generous. Richards might do well in LA, but that was fine. They
weren't traded by a vindictive man hoping to ruin them. Paul Holmgren
had tears in his eyes in the wake of the deals, knowing full well
neither player wanted to go at all, much less be separated. Maybe Scott
Howson's need to move the publicly disgruntled Carter and Lombardi's
need for more scoring combined to alleviate Homer's guilt.
of, what if the Flyers and Kings play in the Finals? It seemed unlikely,
with the Kings an 8 seed and the Flyers facing a treacherous path
through the East. But after the Flyers beat the Penguins, the way they
did, and the Kings marched through the top-seeded Canucks, we (and
probably the league) were a little closer to believing that pipe dream
matchup might just happen.
series against the Devils went so astonishingly bad, knocking us all
down a peg after we uncharacteristically assumed the Flyers' next real
challenge after the Penguins awaited in the Conference Finals. The
Kings, meanwhile, had clearly found their stride and continued on a
historic tear through the West. They were the group catching fire at just the right time, as well as the team with the hot, dominant goalie.
for the Orange & Black—even those who'd met their end too—they had a
new mocking line to trot out, and we'd better get used to it. Just
after the traditional goaltending comments, be prepared to hear a chorus
of Richards and Carter digs. They came in waves as Carter scored his
second goal of the Finals on Monday night, a perfect lift of a pass from
Richards to beat Martin Brodeur and seal what now appears to be a
certain fate.
just one season, barring a miraculous Devils comeback, Richards and
Carter in all their bearded glory will do what many of us have never
seen the Flyers accomplish outside of the grainy footage from before our
time. They're gonna drink from that Cup this summer.
lost in all of this is that the Flyers weren't expected to contend
immediately after the summer 2011 shakeup saw their forward lines
replaced en masse. Many young faces were added, and their greatest
veteran leader was lost for the season, probably longer. I can't
remember a team with more rookies contributing key minutes up and down
the lines. The Kings' end of the Richards trade was the more "win now"
move, exchanging a top prospect and a valuable young winger for a team
captain with playoff experience.
There is also the line of thought that the
departures also allowed a superstar to emerge. Claude Giroux became an
MVP candidate and had Conn Smythe chatter after a first series showdown
with Sidney Crosby. But perhaps in large part due to injury, he faded
along with the rest of the Flyers to a reality that we probably wouldn't
have been too upset over if you offered it last October. And, there's
no way of knowing how his development would have been effected if 18
and/or 17 had stayed.
continue on this path, and it appears they will, it will be a lot harder
to shrug off the rebuilding/reloading season. The two biggest stones
the builder removed became valuable pieces of someone else's castle.
That someone already had the most valuable piece when he started making
deals, as well as high-line forward talent and defense. Despite the
excellent efforts of the Flyers' rookie corps and other newcomers, we
still don't know whether the Flyers have a championship-caliber goalie
or a long-term road block, and .
We may never know the full extent of the reasons
that Richards and Carter were dealt. Opinions will always vary. The need
for a new direction. The need for the elusive (and expensive) #1
goalie. A different look from the forward lines. Dry Island violations,
the stuff that made the papers and the stuff that didn't.
who needed to go in order to make the Flyers into a Cup winner. For Los
Angeles, they were the pieces that needed to be added. That stirs some
worthwhile considerations about how both teams were built with and
without Richards and Carter, what their ideal roles are and were.
decision because again, we don't know exactly what led to it. And, if
the Kings lost last round, we wouldn't even be having this discussion,
instead focusing on whether one off-season will be enough to get the
Flyers over the hurdle they crotched up on while running at full speed.
playoff run ended in embarrassment, and Ed Snider publicly decreed that
the goaltending carousel would end. At least in part, that set the
course for the summer's surprising moves. This year's departure was
frustrating, though I wouldn't say it was quite as embarrassing on its
own. But what happens after Richards and Carter win the Cup in an
emphatically short series during which the Flyers are painted as the
long-term ex who cheated on and then broke up with them, then in the end
was the one left behind while the jilted party moved on to better
off-season moves (ie, the rebound), or will the Flyers primarily stay
the course and let a new, young core develop, tweaking only a few
making of every team they face… If they were going to win the Cup, are
you glad the Flyers were eliminated early, rather than have to be
another stop on LA's parade route?

Decked out in Alabama crimson, laboratory manager Arlon Sheffield offered employees coupons for free blood screenings that provide a range of information on a patient's health.
"It's a really good opportunity for employees to donate a little blood and we'll tell them a lot about themselves," he said.
At the next table down, Auburn fan Carrie Golden, assistant director of radiology, encouraged women to perform breast self-exams and refreshed them on the process.
"A lot of women don't screen themselves like they should," she said, picking up a "training module" — a replica that teaches women what a normal breast should feel like. "We're trying to do these health fairs and try to educate patients when they come in."
Last Thursday's event, as well as other attempts to shift the culture surrounding preventive care, was part of an effort to make health and wellness a more social endeavor for the hospital's staff and the community at large.
"The more we talk about it, the more we encourage each other," said Kristy Jackson, marketing director at the hospital.
The change is at the intersection of two initiatives: the advent of Alabama Healthy Community at the hospital and a challenge from its board of directors to be out in the community educating individuals about preventive health measures.
The hospital has participated in previous public health fairs, including one at the Quintard Mall in April. Several more are scheduled through October in Heflin, Piedmont and Alexandria.
Alabama Healthy Community is centered on using electronic health records to track patients' medical histories as well as to provide assessments of what health risks are likely based on that information. The system then provides patients with suggested preventive care screenings and other measures.
At Jacksonville Medical Center, where the local system was initially implemented, 92 percent of employees have signed up. When the results came in, hospital administrators were surprised to learn that 98 employees were due for colonoscopies.
"As CEO, I felt I needed to set the tone for my employees," said hospital chief Jim Edmondson, one of the 98. He has since had a colonoscopy and, in the spirit of socializing the experience, has talked freely and even written about the procedure in the hospital newsletter.
He said he tries to hold his co-workers accountable as well.
"It's not the typical thing you say when you walk into work: 'Had your colonoscopy yet?'" Edmondson said.
Jean Ann McMurrey, chief nurse at the hospital, noted that as an employer, the hospital can't view individual health records but can ask for group statistics to see where health needs are greatest. She said that as the hospital moves forward in the program, it may move into diagnostics and imaging if the need is there.
McMurrey has herself used the resources from the Alabama Healthy Community health record, including video tutorials on exercise, weight loss and preventing diabetes.
"As a health care provider, you think you should know all that," she said. "But if you don't use it, you lose it. It's a nice refresher."
An avid runner, Jackson is eagerly awaiting the start of walking groups at the hospital aimed at helping employees encourage one another to exercise. More than 40 individuals had signed up at Thursday's health fair to participate. Eventually, the walking groups will spread to churches, civic groups and other employers.
So far, 600 individuals have signed up and filled out electronic health records through Alabama Healthy Community. The system has spread to the city of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville City Schools and Jacksonville State University, but is also open to anyone interested in checking out the resources at www.alabamahealthycommunity.com.
The system itself is easy to use, said Jackson. "It shows me on one page everything I need to know," she said. "Instead of I can't remember this, I can't remember that, it's all there."

The audit is a direct response to recent reports by KMOV-TV in St. Louis and KCTV in Kansas City that documented instances of those funds being spent in all 50 states, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands, said Spence Jackson, a spokesman for the auditors office.
The reports also include examples of the funds being accessed at ATMs in places like casinos and liquor stores.
These programs were created to help families and individuals struggling with economic difficulties, not to bolster a recipients nightlife or pay for expensive vacations, Schweich said in a statement.
Welfare recipients are issued benefits through an EBT card, which can be used like a debit card to buy things or to withdraw cash from ATMs. Missouri households participating in the TANF program receive an average monthly cash grant of $239.
While food stamp benefits can be spent only on food, there are few restrictions on cash assistance provided through TANF.
Jeanette Mott Oxford, a former Democratic lawmaker who serves as executive director of the Missouri Association for Social Welfare, said she expected Schweichs audit to confirm that only a tiny fraction of money spent on social welfare programs is being misspent.
Elizabeth Lower-Basch, policy coordinator and senior policy analyst with the nonpartisan Center for Law and Social Policy, said even though some of these transactions may seem inappropriate at first glance, closer inspection typically reveals no wrongdoing.
The liquor store in your neighborhood may have a lower ATM fee than any other location, she said. A parent may withdraw funds to pay rent from an ATM located in a liquor store simply because it is going to cost them less than going someplace else.
For the past two years, legislation has been introduced in the Missouri House that would ban TANF benefits from being spent out of state. But critics argue that those living in poverty arent using the benefits to fund vacations to exotic locales.
People have the right and, in many instances, the need to travel, she said. Relatives live in other states, and a poor person shouldnt be denied the ability to visit or attend a funeral. And while youre there, you have the right to eat.
Over three months last year, a little more than $1 million in TANF benefits distributed by Missouri was spent out of state roughly 3 percent. Of that amount, two-thirds was spent in states bordering Missouri, and more than half was spent in either Kansas or Illinois.
Jackson, the auditors spokesman, said even if the amount being misspent turns out to be small, the states taxpayers deserve to know. And if there is anything that could prevent it, Jackson said the auditor was hopeful that his investigation would help that along.
Our office doesnt have enforcement authority, but we can recommend good changes, he said.
The audit is expected to begin next spring.

It is getting to a point where I am beginning to wonder if Double Fine can do any "wrong". Let me be honest, I am not one of those "original loyalists" back from the days of the point and click adventures; I am also not a huge fan of Psychonauts (though I did find it moderately entertaining). It is only recently that I have started to fall under the spell of Double Fine's charm and it may be Double Fine's Happy Action Theater (DFHAT) that has pulled me under their veil completely.
In order to appreciate DFHAT, you have to understand what is is, or more specifically, what it isn't. This isn't really a game but rather a glorified tech demo. The idea is that while Kinect is meant to be accessible to gamers of all ages, many times its implementation is too complicated for those who aren't mainstream gamers. Double Fine aims to rectify that situation with DFHAT. In this title, there are no instructions or tutorials. There is nothing specific for you to do. You are simply placed in a variety of situations and given an interactive environment to play around in.
There are 18 different activities presented in the experience. You can approach them in a couple of different manners. The first manner, and the default setting that you will experience the first time that you fire up the game, is called the looping director mode. This mode will run you through all of the activities sequentially, giving you a about 5 minutes or so to experience each. Once you have run through them all, you can choose from 2 other modes which each allow you to pick and choose which ones you want to play with no time limits, but running through the looping director is a good starting point because it introduces you to the concepts of each scenario.
Once are you in a given activity, regardless of which mode you are in, what you do within the confines of that activity is purely up to you. For example, the first activity involves filling your playing area with a bunch of virtual balloons; they just start raining from the top of the screen and you can bat them around or simply begin busting them. As you bust more and more balloons, you will be given special prizes which really serve no meaning aside from entertaining you. Some of the rewards include various fruit and trophies; the longer that you play, the stranger the rewards get. That is it; it is that simple.
Other activities include things like playing around in pools of lava as if they were puddles after a rain storm, feeding an endless flock of pigeons, dancing around in a disco party with famous Double Fine characters, and even becoming the butterfly-like space ships in a modified version of Space Invaders. They are all nothing more than interactive environments; they are also nearly all perfect implementations of the Kinect technology.
I have yet to see a game that shows off just what the Kinect system is capable of in the manner that DFHAT does. Out of the 18 included activities, I would argue that 14-15 of them are perfect implementations of the Kinect vision we were promised when the technology was revealed. These are exactly the types of things that I expected to see on thee Kinect Labs application on the Marketplace. These are ideas and concepts that gamers should be praying are implemented in future games because they work like a charm.
Some of the games, like the augmented reality games such as the pigeon level and the snow / ice level, make great use of the objects in and around your gameplay environment. In my living room, the pigeons and snow build up on the and coffee table and my daughter's dollhouse, showing impressive recognition by the software. DFHAT truly reads your environment and makes good use out of not only the people in front of the camera, but the various objects in and around you.
The first time that I played the game, by myself, I was somewhat underwhelmed. I got the idea of what they wanted to do, but it just didn't click with me; then my 4-year old daughter came home and showed me what the game is all about. These are virtual playgrounds. Each situation is intended to let your mind run free and make your own fun given the templates that Double Fine has provided to you. Virtual snowball fights will break out just as easily as impromptu dance competitions. The game promotes an atmosphere of pure fun both on the screen and in the area around you.
One of the other things that DFHAT does very well is allow players to come and go as they please without any delay at all. The game will recognize up to 6 different players and there is absolutely no loading required for a participant to enter or exit the scene. This just adds to the simplicity of the experience and keeps things flowing during gameplay sessions.
Double Fine has done a good job at implementing a variety of easter eggs within each of the games as well for those gamers who are willing to look for them. Many of these include nods to other Double Fine titles such as cameo appearances as well as hidden abilities for those willing to experiment within the given scenarios. For example, the next time that you play the lava level, trying laying down on your floor and submerging yourself completely in the molten liquid; then stand of and do a couple of throwing motions. You will notice that you will have the ability to throw fireballs for a small amount of time. Do yourself a favor and hit one of the other players with your virtual fireball too for a good laugh. Also, try the same thing on the snow level. These are the sorts of things that promote experimentation and spur your imagination. It is only when you begin to dabble into the realms of both of these that the charm of the game will come to light.
On the other hand, the simplicity and freedom that I praise DFHAT for is also its biggest downfall in terms of it being an actual game. If you are looking at the title to deliver the traditional gaming experience, consisting of a beginning, middle and an end as well as having a distinct purpose, you are going to be sadly disappointed. That isn't the goal of DFHAT and thankfully it doesn't try to hide that fact at any point in the experience. From the outset, you are left on your own to simply play, and hopefully it won't take gamers of all ages long to recognize it and do just that. The sooner that you can let go and just "have fun" the better.
If you are looking for the perfect way to introduce that young child or that adult who has never picked up a controller to the world of games, DFHAT is definitely a good choice. It's simple, intuitive, and most importantly, a whole lot of fun. Double Fine has done an awesome job of taking advantage of everything that the Kinect technology has to offer and wrapping it up into a single package; I just hope that they find a way to implement those same things into actual games at some point. In the end, although happy Action Theater ends up being a less than stellar game, it still ranks as the number one reason to fire up your Kinect.

Review: Is Logic3's T250s Ferrari Worthy?
By Tony Ibrahim | Friday | 05/10/2012
Ferrari has chosen Logic3 to wear the company's prancing horse, but are the leather-clad T250s worthy?
Driving them out of the showroom
Logic 3 has put some effort into boxing these earphones. Open the box and you're confronted with a card coloured in Ferrari's iconic red. It is the cheap equivalent of a plaque but it does create a sense of occasion.
Venture past the signage and you uncover the carry case. It's fairly large, coloured in black and stylised with a carbon fibre weave. What makes it so darn charming is the silver prancing horse smack-bang in the centre, taking time off from badging supercar exotica to grace a humble pair of headphones.
The zipper traces the headphone's case and once opened, reveals the leather-clad T250s nestling in their natural habitat, along with three audio cables, a 6.5mm jack and a dual-plug jack for use when on a plane.
It's uncommon for headphones to come with three cables, but the T250s are better for it as audio cables tend to go before the driver. The first cable is a simple run-of the mill offering; the second houses an answer/hang up button (for Android, Windows and Blackberry devices), while the third throws in volume keys and is compatible with iOS devices, such as Apple's iPhone, iPod or iPad.
The braided cables are fully removable and plug into the left earcup with a standard 2.5mm plug. With a few spare cables, audiophiles (and rev-heads) are sure to get good use out of the T250s.
The Shell
By the time you've unfolded the T250s, you're acquainted with its fine materials and impressed by its build-quality. The headband and supraural (on-ear) cups are drenched in supple leather that enthusiastically moulds to an individual's head and ear shape.
The headband has a tight brace, but the leather does a good job at ensuring the listening experience is comfortable. Together, they eliminate a fair amount of background interference, even with the volume on low levels.
Longer listening sessions aren't as comfortable as the rich leather tends to heat up, and in the impending summer, I imagine long sessions will be a sweaty one.
The Sound
These headphones, albeit good, lack the precision that comes to mind when you think of Ferrari.
The bass feels accentuated and at times, dominates the soundstage. This wouldn't be as bad if the cups had an open back as it would enlarge the soundstage, but with closed cups it feels like the heavy notes have less room to work with. As a result, there are times where notes—particularly in the layered songs familiar to genres like rock—lack clarity. The Killers' Miss Atomic Bomb is one example where the bass dominates at the expense of plucking guitars and electro notes.
But in some other genres, the bassy bravado adopted by these headphones pay off. Hit play on Dash Berlin's Better Half of Me and the stark contrast between trance, vocal and bass is amplified. It sounds riveting, as if there's a button labelled 'extreme' and you've just pressed it. The trance notes still lack clarity relative to what you'd get from similarly priced Sennheiser's, but the bodied bass compensates.
Another genre ideal for these headphones is R&B. Guy Sebastian's Battle Scars is played with gusto, more than enough volume and a fluency in bass that simulates dimension.
Two-faced horse
The T250s are comfortable, well made and if you like your music loud with heavy bass, will keep you grinning. Unfortunately if your taste in music is varied, they'll struggle accommodate a wide range of genres with the same transparency as its similarly priced rivals. Worse yet, you'll be walking around with an expensive pair of headphones that, deep down, you'll believe aren't worth the Ferrari badge.

Radiation Therapy for Endometrial Cancer
Radiation therapy is the use of high-dose X-rays to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be used to treat endometrial cancer after hysterectomy or as the primary therapy, particularly for women who cannot have surgery. The two types of radiation therapy that may be used to treat endometrial cancer are:
- Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy), in which radioactive materials (radioisotopes) are placed into the vagina, uterus, or other areas where the cancer cells are found.
- External beam radiation therapy, in which radiation comes from a machine outside the body.
What To Expect After Treatment
In brachytherapy, tiny tubes of radioactive material are inserted into the vagina or the uterus. Ultrasound may be used to guide the placement. The radioactive tubes will be left in place for 2 to 3 days. Brachytherapy may be done in the hospital or on an outpatient basis.
External beam radiation therapy is usually done in an outpatient treatment center. A typical therapy course is radiation treatments 5 days a week for 4 to 6 weeks.
Radiation therapy may cause side effects, including:
- Fatigue.
- Dryness, itching, tightening, and burning in the vagina.
- Red, dry, tender, itchy skin.
- Moist, weepy skin (later in the treatment).
- Hair loss in the treated area.
- Loss of appetite.
- Diarrhea.
- Frequent and uncomfortable urination.
- Reduced white blood cell count.
For long-term side effects, see the Risks section below.
Radiation therapy may make sexual intercourse uncomfortable. You may have to wait until after treatment is finished to resume sexual intercourse.
Why It Is Done
Radiation therapy is usually given after surgery for endometrial cancer. Radiation may be recommended for women who have a high risk for the spread of the cancer. If a woman cannot have surgery, she may receive radiation therapy alone, but cure rates are slightly lower than with surgery.
Radiation therapy may be used at different points of treatment, depending on the stage and grade of the endometrial cancer.
Endometrial cancer may recur. Radiation therapy may be used to control symptoms and increase comfort. Radiation therapy may cure your cancer if the cancer is confined to your vagina and radiation therapy has not been used before.
How Well It Works
Usually radiation therapy for endometrial cancer is given after a woman has surgery (hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). Radiation therapy is used to treat a woman who has a high risk of having the cancer spread beyond the uterus. Radiation therapy can lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Radiation therapy may also be used in women who cannot have surgery because of their health. Radiation therapy without surgery helps these women, but it doesn't work as well as radiation and surgery.1
Having radiation therapy to any part of the pelvis can cause side effects such as bladder irritation. These side effects may stop after treatment is finished.
Other side effects of radiation can include:
- Bowel obstruction.
- Abdominal cramps.
- Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea.
- Chronic bladder irritation.
- Vaginal scarring (vaginal fibrosis).
What To Think About
Internal radiation (vaginal radiation) causes physical changes to the vagina that may cause sexual problems, such as painful intercourse.
Radiation therapy to the pelvis causes permanent sterility. If your cancer is in a very early stage and is low grade (slow-growing) and you want to be able to have children, progestin hormone therapy may be an option rather than a hysterectomy and/or radiation therapy.

In February, Rob Kardashian revealed he wanted to shed some weight – and after stepping out at an event in Las Vegas this weekend, it appears the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is on track!
Kardashian, 26, was in Las Vegas for the launch of his Arthur George by Rob Kardashian line of socks at Neiman Marcus on Saturday.
Wearing a suit and sunglasses, Kardashian showed off a slimmer figure as he greeted fans who flocked to the department store to meet the reality star.

After revealing on social media that he's put on weight over the last year, Rob Kardashian has been working hard to shed the pounds.
"I'm trying to lose 40," the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told PEOPLE at his birthday party Friday at 1 OAK Las Vegas. "It's a little journey."

Breaking up is hard to do. And if you're in the public eye like Rob Kardashian, it's proven to be a weighty issue.
The reality star is looking to shed 50 lbs., reportedly gained after his breakup with singer Rita Ora. He's now hard at work to take off the weight, sharing his progress (and frustrations with his "fat boy" breakfasts!) with his fans on Twitter and Instagram.
See what his workout soundtrack includes, and check out his best pics of his healthy meals and workouts below.

Kim Kardashian's pregnancy announcement didn't just shock her fans – it also came as a surprise to her family.
"I'm so proud of my sisters, but I'll be married before I have a baby," Rob Kardashian said while hosting the CIROC Vodka New Year's Eve Countdown at STK Miami on Monday.
Expectant Kim, 32, is still going through a divorce after her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, while Kourtney – who is mom to Mason, 3, and Penelope, 6 months – is not married to her children's father, Scott Disick.

'Tis the season for ... Photoshop?
In an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The X Factor host Khloé Kardashian shared the secret of her family's annual Christmas card: If a family member can't attend the shoot, they get Photoshopped in to make the picture complete.
"We pretend that we're always together," Kardashian said during the interview airing Wednesday. "The powers of cameras and Photoshop."
While the Kardashian clan can't always be in the same physical space, they do their best to make lasting memories, she says.

Who says you can't blend fashion and football?
Rita Ora did when she took in some Monday night football at the Ainsworth in New York City.
Wearing dark red lipstick and platforms, the fashionphile – who wore custom Emilio Pucci to the MTV VMAs last month – made watching the pigskin pretty.
The Jay-Z's protégée is rumored to be dating Rob Kardashian. Recently, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star shared a photo of the duo sporting matching Rolex watches.
"HIS & HERS GOLD ROLLIES B–ES!!!!!!! who else does this??? @RITAORA" he recently Tweeted.
Knicks player J.R. Smith was also in the house that evening, cozying up to a female friend in a booth.
"J.R. was mellow, he was watching both the football game and the Yankees game at the same time," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

It's no secret that the Kardashian family is privileged – but no one recognizes that more than the Kardashian sisters themselves.
Asked by Oprah Winfrey on a webisode of Oprah's Next Chapter whether they considered themselves "spoiled," the sisters said they're certainly "blessed," but added that they've worked hard for all of the charms they enjoy.
"I think I'm spoiled. I'm not a brat, but I'm definitely spoiled," Khloé admitted. "Look around us."

Looks like another Kardashian is a dance natural – line dancing, that is.
Khloé and husband Lamar Odom are exploring the "fun local activities" that their new hometown, Dallas, has to offer and "were actually really good," she writes on her Celebuzz blog their lessons last week.
"It was a blast!" Kardashian writes of taking siblings Kim, Kourtney and Rob as well as mom Kris during a recent visit. "We all thought Rob was going to be a pro because of [Dancing With the Stars] but he was actually really bashful about it!"

What does Rob Kardashian want for Christmas? A girlfriend? Not so fast, he says, just time with family will do.
"I mean, I want a girlfriend. I've been single for a while, but I'm 24 years old and I feel like I have a lot of work to do on myself first and that's really what I've been focusing on. I'm focusing on my health and getting into shape and my career," he tells PEOPLE at the Daughtry concert for the Duracell Holiday Insurance Program in New York on Wednesday. "I like being single right now."

We asked – and you answered.
PEOPLE.com readers weighed on 2011's best (and worst) moments in celebrity news – picking the star they'd most love to date, chat with on Twitter and read about all year.
Readers told us they were "so into" Duchess Catherine in 2011 – though Ryan Gosling came in a close second.
But with all their wedding, pregnancy and speedy divorce drama, readers revealed they're "so over" the Kardashians – choosing the reality TV family in a landslide in our poll.
As for the star readers would most like to date: sexy Ryan Reynolds easily won everyone's hearts. Mila Kunis was a runner-up in the "Hollywood's hottest date" category. The Friends with Benefits actress was a stylish favorite with readers handily ruling that she, well, ruled the red carpet in 2011.
