- OpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 11/21/2014Had a reservation for two, was placed in a cramped corner table. Asked for another table and was placed outside on the sidewalk with a defective space heater nearby. Recommend asking where seating is located prior to arriving if at all possible. Food was good but ambience was NOT. Evening was less pleasant than anticipated, particularly relative to previous visits. Overall experience was a minus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!DeliciousDined on 11/20/2014Food was fantastic from appetizers to desert! Great to find a place this delicious in the suburbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HobbitDined on 11/20/2014Beautiful restaurant, great wine great food, Great service but the noise level is deafening. Next time the outdoor patio it's quieter. Or just go for lunch! I Also Could wear Bose noise canceling headphones!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ClassyRayratVIPDined on 11/15/2014Entres a little late in arriving and my sea bass order was not cooked through. Sent it back. The reheat(recook) took a while. Manager came to our table & profusely apologized for our not being able to enjoy our entries together. Comped the whole meal. Unexspected and more than needed but very classy and very appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousAnacabDined on 11/12/2014Food was delicious And the staff very friendly.. We had to make a reservation two nights in a row because the first night we had one for 9 pm And got there 908 And we were turned down.. Came back the next day.. Worth the wait 😊👍Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Tucson's best!LNW1VIPDined on 11/12/2014It is always a treat to dine at Wildflower. Our server was superb and the food delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food - Must be a REAL ChefSwabby01Dined on 11/11/2014Picked this place based on the local "ratings" sites and could not have been happier - the meal was more than ample servings and the quality was outstanding - Had the Pork Tenderloin which was very nicely prepared and the squash risotto was JUST RIGHT, a true test of understanding food prep (not rock hard, not wall paste). The service was attentive without being overbearing. Bottom line - Great food, Great service and appropriate prices which means "home run" in my bookSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, weak serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/10/2014We go here a lot and love the food. Always good. However, last visit our server was very late to our table so another server came and got us started. After that, we were just kind of forgotten. Normally, service is great! Hopefully, this was an aberration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a lovely evening!westenderVIPDined on 11/9/2014We were in Tucson for a couple of weeks and wanted to catch up with an old friend. Wildflower was an easy choice. We all love it and it is convenient to all of us. We sat outside on a lovely mild evening. Our server was just the right kind of attentive, and also patient as 2 of us were early so sat with a glass of wine waiting for the other person. We just ordered entrees, and all 3 disappeared quickly. The beer battered fish and chips was amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The short ribs ravioli in truffle cream sauce was SO satisfying. Wildflower is always on our list when we visit the area!Special Features:
- Food Not Up To ParOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/9/2014We had 4 entrees, all below expectations: --Sturgeon special --Korean tacos --fish and chips --crispy chicken
- Wild for WildflowerPNGSctsdaleVIPDined on 11/7/2014Wildflower is avTucson gem and a real favorite of ours. Food is fabulous - service exceptional - every staff member is customer focused & skilledSpecial Features:
- Very nice for a mall restaurantgdizzleDined on 11/7/2014Wildflower does a nice job of using local sources for farm to fork. The food was very good and service is attentive. It's location in a mall is somewhat less than desirable for a nice restaurant. It has a pleasant patio for outside dining but it overlooks a parking lot. Inside is a bar which was playing sports television, which might detract from some serious gourmand's experience. Overall good food, but the ambience does not match the food.Special Features:
- Wonderful Once Again!JillyDDined on 11/6/2014I took my friend from Alaska to Wildflower and was once again amazed with just how outstanding the food is, the waitstaff and the overall great feeling to the restaurant! Have only been in Tucson for 1 month, but I just keep going back to Wildflower - it is the BEST!!!!Special Features:
- One of our favorites!TucsondinerDined on 11/4/2014Wildflower continues to please with a great menu, vibrant atmosphere and great service. Love the half price wine bottle days on Tuesdays!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantdesertloverDined on 11/4/2014Haven't been to Wildflower in several years and decided to celebrate a birthday. We were not disappointed. The service was good but not overbearing.

- Quite good, but with a problemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/31/2014We had lunch indoors, and the noiWse level was awful. You have no sound-absorbent materials in the ceiling or walls. Apparently no one consulted an acoustics expert when the restaurant was being constructed. It would be good the address this issue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good meal as I rememberedLuvCasaGrandeDined on 10/22/2014I haven't been to Wildflower in 1 1/2 years and I was glad to find the food, service, and ambience still remains. I had read other reviews and am sorry they didn't have such good results. I met an old friend and we sat outdoors and caught up--of course the weather was absolutely beautiful. We had a fish and pasta dish and they didn't disappoint. Neither did the chocolate dessert. I would recommend the Wildflower and just make sure people know the dinner prices are between $20 and $30. But well worth it!!!Special Features:
- BarbandSaraDined on 10/22/2014We dined on the lovely patio, which is the only way I will eat at Wildflower because the inside is so terribly noisy and loud a decent conversation cannot be held. The patio, however, is always perfect for intimate conversation. The food was outstanding (I enjoyed the salmon, which was cooked perfectly) and the service was excellent. I strongly recommend Wildflower.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish specialsLP57Dined on 10/18/2014The nightly fish specials are always very good but the serving size is quite small. I don't expect to get more fish but a little more of the vegetables that accompany the fish would be appreciated so the serving is not so sparse.Special Features:
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/17/2014The general manager was very attentive. New menu is very good - good changeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The Best!JillyDDined on 10/17/2014Everything at Wildflower is great, but the calamari was to die for!!! We have only been in the Tucson area for 2 weeks, but we have been to Wildflower two times. I can say that it will be a mainstay for us! The service is as amazing as the food.Special Features:

- rutgers66VIPDined on 10/9/2014This was not a good evening at Wildflower. We were a party of 4 and they tried to put us a a table for 5. We asked for a booth, they said they were reserved. The booth stayed empty all night!!!!!! We were there 2-½ hours.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food and service outsidelaggVIPDined on 9/29/2014We always eat outside because it is way too noisy inside. We went early, at 5 p.m. on a Monday, so had no trouble getting an outside table, and it did not get noisy out there until we were leaving. Our service was great, as was our food. This time, no glitches at all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/27/2014We have been here several times and one of our favorite places to go. Usually good service and food. It was a miss this time though this time. 06:15 reservation for 4. Seated right away. I think the server just had too many tables though. Little things like refill on waters, ice tea, etc had to be requested a couple of times. The food was just ok. Burger ordered well came out medium rare. The time it took for food to come, the burger person opted to not send it back. Scallops were over done and a little tough. Salmon plate and edamame dish were good. The dessert was tasty. Overall just an off night. Nothing horrible but ironically we raved about the place to our friends who had never been there. They were underimpressed.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Smoked Salmon appetizerTeamLeaVIPDined on 9/26/2014One of our favorites! As is everything on the menu!Special Features:
- Love this restaurant!,OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/26/2014Service was not as great as it usually is, but the food and setting we're magnificent!,Special Features:
- Noisy - but worth itDIanaVIPDined on 9/24/2014If you sit inside be prepared for high noise level. Outdoor seating is much better. But no matter what, the food is worth it. Long time favorite of mine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good not great as we hopedGinoPDined on 9/23/2014Located in a strip mall, the ambiance is not spectacular but the openness and brightness of the restaurant helps to mitigate the location. The menu offers good variety and most of the food we ordered was better than average. One person in our party was not served her order in sync with the rest of us which put a damper on our experience. Half price wine night was a bonus!Special Features:
- Favorite Restaurant in Tucson!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/23/2014Absolutely love this restaurant, the food, the service and mostly the wine! Every Tuesday is half-priced bottles of wine, and with a great selection you can't go wrong.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite in Tucson!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/22/2014Wildflower has been my favorite restaurant since it opened years ago!! The food is the best in Tucson and I am in love with the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. Everything is delicious.....and don't forget to leave room for a beautiful dessert.Special Features:

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

As the Hollywood Foreign Press Association tries to repair its image, the Globes offer a moment in the spotlight and a table full of drinks
The center of power in Hollywood has shifted, briefly and curiously, to 80-odd Los Angeles-based journalists (and part-time journalists) for foreign newspapers, magazines and websites.
That means it's time for the Golden Globes.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual awards show may not be the most credible bash in town, but it gets lots of attention, draws millions of viewers to NBC, offers studios bragging rights and banner headlines for their movie ads and brings enough stars into town that other organizations make sure their own shindigs are Globes-adjacent.
So in addition to the main event on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton, the next week will include the AFI Awards lunch, the Film Independent Spirit Awards Nominees Brunch, the BAFTA/Los Angeles Awards Season Tea Party, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards dinner, the Critics' Choice Movie Awards and enough parties to leave even Jordan Belfort begging for a little peace and quiet.
Also read: Golden Globes Parties: TheWrap's Ultimate Guide for 2014
It'll culminate with Oscar nominations bright and early next Thursday morning, at which point the Globes will mostly be forgotten and attention will turn to the real main event, and the point of all this awards-season tomfoolery.
But for now it's Globes weekend, a time during which everyone agrees to behave as if those few dozen aging journalists of questionable repute have impeccable taste.
And to be fair, HFPA voters acquitted themselves honorably with the slate of nominations they revealed on Dec. 12 – there were no embarrassments like the nominations for "The Tourist" or, even more infamously, the 1981 award to Pia Zadora, and no questionable films shoehorned into ill-fitting categories for the sake of the stars who might show up.
Also read: Golden Globes Predictions: Who Will Win, Who Should Win
Sure, you could question the classifications that call some films comedies and others dramas, but for the most part those were studio decisions, not HFPA ones.
And while the line between comedy and drama may be blurring into insignificance these days, the audiences with whom I saw "Nebraska," "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "American Hustle" (all comedies in the eyes of the Globes) laughed a lot.
To its credit, the HFPA has been taking steps to become known as journalists rather than junketeers over the past few months, from landing a group interview with Julian Assange to coming up with an entirely respectable batch of Globes nominations.
The controversies that swirled around the organization in recent years, including an expensive lawsuit with Dick Clark Productions and another with a former HFPA publicist who alleged that nominations could essentially be bought, have died down. (The former hasn't gone well for them in court; the latter was settled.)
Meanwhile, they hired two of the best awards-show hosts in town in Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. And they now have a president in his mid-40s, automatically derailing wisecracks like Ricky Gervais' comment from a few years back about having to help a different HFPA president get off the toilet and put his teeth back in.
See photos: 2014 Movie Preview: 60 Upcoming Winter & Spring Films – From 'Paranormal' Sequel to 'Transcendence'
No, it's not enough to persuade any Oscar voters to watch the show for tips on how they should vote. After all, Academy members turned in their nominating ballots two days ago and can't cast final votes for more than a month, by which point they probably won't even remember who won at the Globes.
But it is enough to put everybody in a party mood on Sunday night – and that's the key to the Globes, the awards show that has always celebrated the fact that stars drink at their tables and get loose and have more fun than they do at those big, tense, serious Ocars.
These awards are about getting loose. And they're about trying out acceptance speeches in a less stressful setting, which is more important for folks in tight races (say, actor or supporting actress) than for strong favorites like Cate Blanchett or Jared Leto.
See video: 10 Golden Globes Deliciously Awkward Moments
Last year's show was a triumph for Ben Affleck and "Argo" that came right on the heels of his snub at the hands of the Academy's Directors Branch. (It's funny how the AMPAS decision to move its nominations before the Globes last year, which many thought was designed to hurt the Globes and diminish their importance, instead only paved the way for a key moment for the eventual Oscar Best Picture winner.)
This year's calendar, though, finds the Globes back in its usual position before Oscar nominations; this year, the show can offer its winners a moment to shine, but no redemption.
Then again, a moment to shine is a Globes specialty, be it the last such moment during awards season ("Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street") or just one more moment in a long string of them ("Argo," "The Artist," "Slumdog Millionaire").
So relax. Have another drink. Don't get too tense. It's only the Golden Globes.

Does anyone run in a cycling jersey to make use of the pockets on the bum?
I'm toying with the idea for my work commute rather than using a belt.
Sometimes I'll do a little barefoot at the end of my run (just to keep form in check).
I've had a car pull over and a concerned young girl ask if I was OK, which was nice of her, but had to explain I hadn't recently escaped! Not running, but I did break my ACL playing football years ago... they carried me off the pitch and I had to wait till the game finished for someone to take me to A&E... cheers lads!
+1 for Mark Rowlands books, especially if you're of the canine persuasion.
Had a quote for shock wave therapy this week and was shocked, £180 for initial consultation then £900 for 3 sessions! No way I can take that up, has anyone else had prices for comparison?

v. a phrase used by irritated white people when others say 'Turn Up' taking the phrase literally.
To not get rowdy, remain calm
To not get rowdy, remain calm
po Irate0000 Август 2, 2013
A sexual act where, the female is in the doggy position with her ass as far in the air as possible, the male crouches over her facing opposite of her head points his penis down with his hand and inserts it into the females pussy, hence like the turn down exhaust on a car.
That bitch loves the Turn-down position, its good for me cause I don't have to look at her face.

The Halloween Show!
Casey and Kristyn host a night of scary shenanigans as West of Shake Rag brings you our annual Halloween show! Join in our costume contest, participate in our games, and shout your suggestions, because it's going to be a wild ride!
Where: Tupelo's Link Centre - Black Box Theater
When:October 11th - 7:30-9:30 PM
Tickets: $5
July 27th, 2014
Greetings, Shakerfans! We're happy to announce that we're going to be a the Southeastern Comedy Arts Festival! For those troupes attending, Casey is teaching one of the workshops; for you fans, we'll be performing on Saturday night, along with loads of other amazing comedy acts. If you like improv or standup, this will be a night to remember!
For those who have missed it, we have shows on Thursdays now! We perform almost every Thursday night (the exception being on the week of our monthly Saturday show) at 7PM at the Link. Tickets are still $5, and there are free snacks, as well as drinks sold. These shows differ from our Saturday shows (which are still on the 2nd Saturday of the month) in that they're themed for a more mature audience, and they vary completely in style from week to week. Sometimes we're doing shortform with Shortform Showdown, sometimes we're doing longform like West of Shakespeare or SoapProv, sometimes there's stand-up comedy or a performance by Glenn & Casey's Stranger, Are You Smiling?, and sometimes we're trying out a brand-new, never-before-seen, completely off-the-wall format just because we can. They're still completely improvised and based on your suggestions and participation, so come out and see what new shenanigans we're cooking up with Comedy Thursdays at the Link!
For more news on what we're doing on and off the web, be sure to check us out on Facebook! We do a lot of updating there these days, and that'll be the first place you see things like our posters and extra photos. We also like to poll our viewers with questions and embarrass one another there, so click that Like button and have us on your feed!

Salvaged Sub
Getting Started
Always use your imagination and be creative when building this project or any others. It's your creation, so be inventive when looking for building supplies — you just may be surprised! When building your project, experiment with new and different ways of putting it together. The most important thing is to have fun!
Find these or similar supplies!
• Milk or juice carton
1. What will you use?
This project has a lot of creative breathing room. There is really no wrong way to make a Salvaged Sub, so play around with your design before you start gluing or taping everything up.
2. Lay out your design!
This is the basic design for my Salvaged Sub. The toilet paper and paper towel tubes go along the milk carton body, with the small paper cups inserted in the ends. For the front of the tubes I trimmed down some egg carton pieces and stuck them on for a streamlined look. Add a cup and a piece of plastic to the top and you've got a Submarine!
3. Cover your pieces in tape!
Now for my finished Sub I took all my pieces apart and covered everything in masking tape. I used an orange tape for the tubes and the milk carton, and regular tape for all the other pieces.
4. Color however you like!
I then colored all of the other pieces (cups, front caps, wings, etc.) with a yellow marker. You can always just color your Sub without the tape, or decorate it with paint.
5. Attach the parts!
When I was finished coloring all the pieces I started attaching the parts. The big paper towel tubes go along the bottom, the smaller toilet paper tubes on the top, with some little cardboard fins. The paper cup goes on top, providing the crew with an access hatch.
6. Add details!
Now at this point I started adding lots of little details to make my sub look cool. The grasper arms are simple to make, just tape two bending straws together and attach them to the sides of your sub. The "hands" on the grasping arms are cut from some tape.
7. Customize, customize, customize!
A plastic lid can become an observation bubble! I also used some straws and bottle caps as my Sub's floodlights. These help illuminate the murky ocean deep!
8. Finished!
The last little detail was my front window. You can draw your crew's faces so they can pilot your Salvaged Sub through the ocean! Voila! A Salvage Sub!

Troy police seek car possibly connected to gas station clerk's murder
Updated On: Feb 11 2014 09:26:44 PM EST
Troy police are looking for a vehicle in connection to the murder of a gas station clerk on Saturday afternoon at the corner of South Boulevard and Rochester Road.
A clean, black car -- likely a Buick -- was spotted at the Clark gas station at about the time of the shooting. Two black females were seen inside the vehicle.
The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. A gas station customer found the 63-year-old clerk, Athir Putres, of Rochester Hills, dead with a gunshot wound to the head. Two shots were fired inside the gas station, but only one struck the store clerk.
Police have not offered a description of any suspect. They are reviewing surveillance video from the station.
Police are asking for tips from anyone who was in the area on Saturday afternoon.
"You don't know that what you may have seen, any vehicle that you could describe that was in the parking lot when you were here could be hugely important to this investigation.

November 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - A cockpit voice recorder transcript shows the pilots of a UPS cargo jet that crashed last August complained of tiring work schedules that don't allow enough time for sleep at the start of the fatal flight.
The transcript was released Thursday by the National Transportation Safety Board at the start of a hearing on the predawn accident. Both pilots were killed when their plane slammed into a hillside short of a runway in Birmingham, Ala.
Captain Cerea Beal Jr. was flying the plane. He complained to First Officer Shanda Fannin that cargo pilots aren't given as much time to rest between work shifts as federal regulations require for pilots at passenger airlines.
Fannin agreed. She said she had "good sleep" the previous night, but woke up tired anyway.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Recap: The Claws Are Outby Tattle Taylor at . Comments
Not much can top Tamra's nicknaming Alexis "Jesus Jugs" last week, but with Brooks and Briana stopping by the Real Housewives of Orange County are going to try.
Someone get poor Andy Cohen a helmet. Or vodka.
Let's get to part two of the RHOC Reunion with our THG +/- review.
Andy addresses Gretchen and Alexis' falling out first. It's clear that Alexis is more upset about this than Gretchen is because her hands are flapping around like she's trying to direct an airplane to landing.
Nose job. Sinus surgery. You didn't have my back. Yes, I did. Whatever. If Alexis attempts to look down her new nose any more she's going to go cross-eyed.
And now Alexis' Fox 5 segment comes up. Gretchen pulls out an email that proves that Fox 5 wanted her first. Alexis says the producer said they'd never offered Gretchen the job. Neither woman can see that a producer might say whatever needed to be said to get the job done. Minus 12.
Tamra ends that bit by asking if Alexis still works at Fox 5. She doesn't.
The first question Andy has? How many square feet in her house. 14,300 square feet. Not including the garages and the loggias. And she needed a bigger house for what reason? Minus 4.
Andy brings up Bowgate. Heather admits that maybe she made it a bigger deal than it was. Plus 12.
Up next? Brooks.
It seems like this is the first time Vicki's seen just how nuts she was at the end of the season, judging by the look on her face. This should be interesting.
Brooks clarifies that he doesn't have four kids with three women. He has four kids with two women.
And then he says that all of his affirmations for Vicki are related to the fact that he's southern and that that's how southern men do things. I've lived in the south my entire life, y'all, and this is not how men down her do things. Minus 5.
Tamra thinks Brooks studied the show to learn how to get to Vicki. Interesting.
Brooks then says he was "protecting his lady" from Tamra's eye roll. Because eye rolls are the new weapons of mass destruction. Minus 8.
He also says he wouldn't take relationship advice from Tamra because doing that would be like taking financial advice from someone who's bankrupt. Zing!
Alexis chimes in to defend Vicki and Brooks and is met with a "shut up, dingbat" and "You're so not relevant" from Tamra. Double zing!
Gretchen's relationship with Slade is up for discussion next. It's still Slade's pesky debt that keeps them from being engaged. Slade drives her to appointments. He books her gigs. He schedules her training sessions. She's not paying him for any of it. Minus 15.
In true Vicki fashion, she makes this all about her. If Slade's not an opportunist, Brooks isn't either. And apparently, Eddie's a smooth-talking a**hole? Gah. Vicki. I'm done with you. Minus 12.
The conversation ended with Gretchen calling Vicki a hypocrite. Again.
Briana's on the couch now and surprise! She's pregnant! Again, in true Vicki fashion, she cried for half an hour when she found out Briana was pregnant. Minus 3.
Briana and Ryan moved in with Vicki. So now Briana, Ryan, Vicki, AND DONN all live in the same house. Because it's a big house.
Briana's still pretty hesitant about Brooks. As in, she has nothing to do with him. Briana's take is that Brooks just wants to be Vicki-the-Real-Housewife's boyfriend and not the Real Vicki's boyfriend. Tamra agrees. Plus 8.
Brooks outed Briana's pregnancy and her family wedding to local radio. And Vicki keeps defending him. Minus 30.
And then Vicki called her daughter a liar. On television. Minus 10.
Briana mentions, again, that Vicki probably had an emotional affair with Brooks long before their relationship became physical. Gretchen calls it "weird" because of accusations that Gretchen cheated on Jeff. Vicki says Donn had an affair for 20 years. And then slams Tamra for dating Eddie while she was married to Simon.
There's a whole lot of cheating going on, y'all.
Briana's the voice of reason and Gretchen's on the verge of tears. Pass out some tissues. Or the booze.
As a recap of the season, Heather says she had fun and hopes she and Alexis left everything in Costa Rica. Alexis says she's going to try to be a better person every day. Gretchen says this was an emotionally tough season. Tamra's had a lot of change in her life, including gaining Gretchen as a friend and losing Vicki. Vicki's confused. Just drink already, people.
Cheers, y'all.

I felt compelled to write a comment after watching the Tamra eye roll episode. I've always liked Tamra but in this season she has become a nasty manipulative person. She forged a new relationship with Gretchen (which she shod have done years ago) but to cry to Briana after being a complete b@&#h to Vicki, standing up shouting in her face, and try to make out that you didn't give her evil eyes, and to get annoyed that Brooks stuck up for her is absolutely outrageous!! Tamra, you ate so wrong andits a shame youhave become the person that has been shown on this series.
Vicki, I wish you all the best and hope that things work out for you. Heather and Gretchen, you're both lovely
I agree with everything you say,
Tamra is my favourite - the things she comes out with are hilarious. I think Alexis & Jim are weird, Gretchen gets on my last nerve. Like Heather & Terry (loved Tamra's take-off of Heather, 'oh dear, oh my'), and has Vicki totally lost the plot? Something real weird about that Brooks...think he has watched the show to learn about his prey.
tamra is one nasty woman. she is so green with jealousy over alexis.she will end up being mistaken for an evergreen tree.and gretchen why are you crawling around tamra and dumped alexis.alexis had your back all the time. and heather who does she think she is with that gayboy she calls a husband. he`s an old man trying to ridicule alexis. theres never a truer saying than take a long hard look in the mirror before calling others. heather and your squeaky voice man should do that. money does not buy class , or looks.you are both ugly in and out. maybe he should do some more practice with his plastic. then he may become REAL fake the 2 of them. and as for her being 98% real is that real plastic heather you mean.
hi i am from the uk and never miss a program tamara is a bitch, and gretchen showed her ture colours, she should have backed alexis because alexis has backed all her friends .heather does not know alexis and should not call her she did from the start by listening to tamara the tart
I agree with everything you say,
I'm also from UK and love watching but a few things do bemuse me...Vicki, why does she change her voice from her usual brusque and dare I say it screechy tone to a softer more empathy seeking tone when she does her interviews? Never seen such a false woman in my life..and her and that "man" of hers deserve each other. Now , on to Tamra , oh meeeeeooww, what a catty nasty bitch she is, enough said. The rest are watchable.
I think the show is quite funny and entertaining and should be taken for what it is a TV show. All of the ladies have their faults, strengths and insecurities, as well as some very humorous situations. Yes, some of them are boring, bitchy, outrageous and totally over the top. But this is really mindless entertainment that offers up a good laugh and we all have our favorites and the characters we dislike. I must say I did enjoy this season with the introduction of Heather and Terri.
I have never witnessed such childish & petty behaviour in my life & yes that includes Slade or should that be Slave! Tamra - who I used to like is a complete witch who doesn't deserve the likeable Eddie. Alexis is dillusion & begs the question, why ever did the show think she would be interesting? Vicky? Well what a BIG hypocrite! Gretchen is beautiful but needs to drop 'Slave'quicker than a bag of wet cement! Lastly 'Slave'.. Well he's too irrelevant to mention! I feel sorry for their children!
me and my friends used watch this show all the time but we cant stand tamra i think they way she treats people is not right trowing a drink at someone always blaming her ex for everything come on it was a little dog lead its a disgrace too people that have been in real Domestic violence we dont like to watch it that much coz we don't want to see Tamra crap you would get more views if she was not on their and we love Genna she is a lady i think Vicki should try and make it work with her husband its to long to be together to gust trow it away.

LEE COUNTY, Fla - Shannon Tumminello made his first court appearance early Wednesday morning.
"Good morning Mr Tumminello you are charged with an out of state fugitive warrant. It's for grand larceny. Out of the state of New York," said Judge Gagliardi.
Prosecutors say Tumminello, a retired NYPD officer, now living in Sanibel, scammed the federal government. Tumminello allegedly collected $315,000 in social secuirty disability benefits, that didn't belong to him.
Neighbor Val Bupp said she couldn't comment on whether he was guilty or not, but did express disgust for those that commit fraud.
"If they are not disabled and getting disability then they are taking away from people who are disabled," said Bupp.
Tumminello's attorney told WINK News, the 41-year-old suffers from a herniated disk, depression and anxiety.
"He's got some real serious medical issues," said Hal Stephens.
But the Manhattan DA's office says dozens of police officers, firefighters, and prison guards faked psychiatric problems to get Social Security.
"People are defrauding the system all the time so it's not a surprise. It kind of hurts a little bit but it's not a surprise," said Bupp.
Because he had no priors, the courts allowed Tumminello to turn himself in to New York officials. He must do so by January 15th.
"It's a very very bad situation to leave a retired police officer in a prison population," said his attorney.
His attorney also told WINK news, that he believes his client will be exonerated.

Network File System
I want to implement the following at my company.
There is a domain controller in the network and all the users in the domain can login to any machine in the domain.
But What I need is like a NFS (Network File System), which is when a user login to a computer , he should have all his files. So whenever he login to any computer in the domain, he will have the files in his computer and he should feel like he is on his local machine. I know this is possible as I have seen it in my university network.
I want to implement this in my office. Can anyone please help me out?

Thank you. That helped a lot. I guess that's what I am trying to achieve.
Do you have any idea about the following. If all the users in my domains needs a software, for example MS Office, I should be installing it on the server and all the users should be able to use MS Office when they login to any computer in the domain.
Do you know how to do this?

Silvakishanv, welcome to the windows 7 forum.
The licensing for Microsoft office is per individual machine and it has to be installed on each of the computers where it is being used.
There are some options for installing on a Terminal server the microsoft office products but that requires the users to use the remote desktop to the terminal server. With licensing being expensive. It is probably cheaper to purchase the ms office products for each computer.

This is one of my most favorite recipes. It has very few ingredients but turns out very well. When you take it out of the oven you can hear the crust crackling-very nice! Hope you like it as much as we do. (If you want to use whole wheat you can add only a half a cup to this recipe -more than that will make the bread dense) Also if you only have active dry yeast- double the yeast amount to 1/2 tsp. Note* since it is a no-knead recipe it is a pretty flat loaf with a max. height of about 5-7 inches.

North Korean PDA hits shelves
North Koreans can now listen to music, read e-books and watch videos on the second PDA to be available in local shops, assuming they can afford the $140 price tag. Nuclear bombs, intercontinental missiles and fusion reactors: it seems there's no limit to North Korean ingenuity, and now the country even has its own Personal …
20th Century arrives north of border
lucky bastards - I spent most of my IT career helping people use computers to emulate 19thC office technology.
Patnet lawyers?
I'd pay big money to watch patent lawyers try to persaude North Korea to allow their heads and bodies to catch the same flight home.
Is it true
That the North Korean government is getting advice from Steve Jobs on how to be a real dictator?
Time to send Team America
Fuck yeah!
Patent Lawyers?
Your breaking my balls Hans....

You forgot to mention that it can also convert electrical energy into matter ...
You'll need a high powered USB port for that though, so USB hub users are out of luck :-(
Am I missing the sarcasm?
"with that touchscreen we assume that patent lawyers from Apple will be booking the first available flight."
Hang on, the pic shows it being used with a STYLUS: something I thought Apple vowed would never (need to) get near their iPhones?
If they like their tech that hi do you think they'd like to buy the old iPAQ 3870 I have in the cupboard?
Can you imagine a meeting between Kim Jon-Il & Steve Jobs?
Every time somebody referred to the "Beloved leader", there'd be no end of confusion.
Still, at least they'd be able to compare notes on keeping inconvenient stories about their poor health quiet.

Betcha Kim Jon-ll has an iPhone.... Which begs the question: What sort of apps does Kim download from the Apple iWalmart?

tsk tsk.. A British publication not specifying which pc world is going to cause grief!
For the Brits, The Auther doesn't mean 'PC World' the highstreet tat monger, but instead he means the 'PC World' American IT publication.

I'm surprised that this entry
from the same blog didn't rate a story here. Now, it isn't just possible to look at screenshots of North Korea's Red Star Linux (as opposed to an OS of the same name from some Argentine leftists), you can actually download it!
Lucky Bastards!!
I bet the jammy sods will get Intel 286 DX computers sometime within the next few decades.
lmao Shocked north Koreans can do ANYthing.
Does this mean...

main index
Sheriff Bart: Good mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely morning?
Elderly Woman: Up yours, nigger!Racism in a regular character: depressing. Racism in a grandma: hilarious. This is a situation where the old woman who you expect to be a cookie-making nice old lady starts unexpectedly spouting obscenely offensive comments (though as the page image shows, they can do both). This is usually Played for Laughs. This can apply to any elderly character and any kind of political incorrectness, although usually it really is racism by a grandma. Usually the humor derives from the irony of an elderly character using language one would normally associate with a fiery young skinhead. However, it can also be Truth in Television. Although obviously not all old people are bigots, old people are more likely to subscribe to pre-civil rights cultural beliefs and are more likely to say inappropriate thoughts out loud. However, this tends to be counterbalanced by the fact that they were raised in a "more polite" era than ours. (More polite, not "polite.") Take Archie Bunker, for instance, who took care to substitute "spade" for "nigger," "hebe" for "kike," etc. It can also be accidental if the grandma is using what was an acceptable term when she grew up, without being aware that it is now considered derogatory, (e.g., in the article linked earlier in this paragraph, the author recounts her negative feelings when an elderly man referred to someone as "colored" — but this was in fact the politest term for black people when the man was likely raised, and the chosen way for most black people to describe themselves back then, like the NAACP.) Furthermore, elderly people whose views about minorities really did change with the times may suddenly begin spouting offensive beliefs from their youths if they're suffering from senile dementia. While it's tempting to think that this will soon become a Dead Horse Trope, now that the youngest people who came of age before the mid-1960s are now in their seventies and the average life span for most Westerners is about 80, there is evidence that quite a few people actually become bigoted with age. Bitterness about growing old can cause certain people to develop a hostile attitude against most things or even everything in the modern world - even of things that their generation helped to bring about in the first place. For example, a recent poll (albeit a dubious one, since it took into account a very small sampling of the U.S. population) suggested that a surprisingly large number of Baby Boomers (now in their fifties at the youngest) are now uncomfortable with interracial marriage. In fiction, this character is usually intended for comedy and will tend to be Affably Evil (or, at worst, Faux Affably Evil or a petty dog-kicker). BEWARE: This is not true of all bigoted senior citizens; some of them can perpetrate genocide just as adroitly as their younger counterparts.

Saturday December 12, 2009
What if each month your utility bill was $0.00? That seemingly unbelievable concept is true for the new EcoMod house in Charlottesville.
The ribbon cutting at 104 Elliot Avenue celebrates the environmentally-friendly and sustainable home that's been more than a year in the making.
The University of Virginia's EcoMod program along with Habitat for Humanity and others, designed the house so you don't have to turn off the lights, or turn down the thermostat to decrease your monthly utility bill.
It works with a Geo-thermal system that uses heat from the ground to heat the house. The solar panels on the roof will convert heat into energy, too.
There's a possibility that the house will produce enough energy for other Charlottesville residents to use. The utility will then pay the homeowners of the Eco-House for the energy boost.
The family who will live in the house put money toward it, but the goal of the house is to show that sustainable living can be attainable for anyone.
"That's what we're working for: affordability and sustainability," says Dan Rosenweig with the Habitat for Humanity. "I believe affordability and sustainability cannot be separated."
Eco-friendly, affordable housing? It could be here on a larger scale sooner than you think.

A Safer Alternative to Pods and Packs
Family is everything and you may have seen a lot of coverage in the press lately about the dangers of laundry pods. With the average of 1 child per day being hospitalized from swallowing, inhaling or being exposed to chemicals in laundry pods, we wanted to weigh in. Vaska's laundry tablets offer families a safer solution and…Details


text:
For some reason, lately I've been really wanting to sit down and write about parenting. Not parenting styles or techniques; the actual act of being parents. What it means to be a parent. I guess. Honestly, I have no idea what I want to say, so I'll just keep typing and see what comes of it.
Before kids, I used to be one of those people who looked at moms and said, "that's never gonna be me." Those moms with messy hair, frumpy clothes, and screaming kids biting at her ankles. I promised myself that even if I ever did have kids, I'd never lost sight of who I was or give up my freedom. Joel and I were at a restaurant once and we saw a couple with young children. They looked tired; just beaten down and worn out. They didn't smile very much or seem to enjoy their meal or each other's company. Even if their kids were quiet and well-behaved, the couple seemed to be short-tempered and irritable with each other. The wife especially. She looked downright unhappy. They had both ordered strong drinks. We watched them and smugly agree we'd never be like that.
Fast-forward to 2 kids, 2 dogs, and a house in our small hometown, if my past self could've seen all this, she would've run the other direction. She would've told me I was crazy. To be perfectly honest, she probably would've called me a loser (my past and present selves seem to make fun of each other a lot…). But I wish I could go back in time and explain to my smug, childless self all about the way things really are.
Sure, newborns are hard. Amazingly hard. Like, so hard, I sometimes really wonder why so many people choose to have multiple children. Elliott had to get his 2 month vaccines today and he hasn't really stopped crying all evening (*Edit: I wrote this a couple of weeks ago; Elliott is now almost 3 months). I've been a mess. Seeing my baby in pain absolutely kills me! Then there's endless poopy diapers, feedings, and the whole not being able to put him down thing. He freaks if I try to put him in his swing or rock-n-play for even 5 minutes. It'd be awesome if I could get my teeth brushed before 1:00 in the afternoon some days. Or eat lunch. Not to mention the toll it takes on your marriage. Newborn babies can take a solid, happy, loving marriage and reduce it to a strangled, non-communicative, emotionless train wreck in a matter of minutes. Insults hurt much, much worse at 3 in the morning. All it takes is some poor schmuck suggesting to his struggling breastfeeding wife that she try supplementing with a little formula to incur the fiery wrath of a thousand flaming suns. And most likely some very "adult" words.
Don't forget about the jealous, teething toddler with a temper that would put Gordon Ramsay to shame. Try brushing her teeth. Just try it.
I'm 2 months post-partum, and still, none of my clothes fit. I have a lovely, jiggly muffin top now, no matter what pants I wear. So I wear loose-fitting tops and maternity jeans. Yep. Mom apparel. I scrubbed a giant cast iron dutch oven while wearing a screaming Elliott in the Moby wrap, gently bouncing up and down, and getting Cassidy's lunch made the other day. How's THAT for multi-tasking? I went out to dinner with my mom and sister last night sans children and felt so guilty about it that I could barely sleep. I bit Joel's head off recently for no good reason (actually, I bite Joel's head off a LOT). Not to mention feeling like a complete and utter failure as a parent, a wife, and a decent human being on most days.
But even with all that going on- man, it's good. It's good to be a parent. This morning, I had a lovely, beautiful, moving moment with my children in the kitchen. Elliott was in his rock-n-play absolutely screaming his head off while Cassidy was "vacuuming" the floor around my feet with one of those noisy, awful roll-y popper things. I was struggling to get lunch ready and my kitchen was an absolute mess. It was pure chaos. Like a scene straight out of It's A Wonderful Life when George Bailey wonders "why do we have to have so many kids?!" Except for whatever reason (lack of sleep? Empty stomach?) something made me stop, take it all in, and just smile. I stood there in my loud, filthy kitchen…smiling. Smiling at what my life has become. I was EXACTLY the kind of "mom" I thought I never wanted to be…and it delights me. What a JOY to be surrounded by 2 beautiful, messy, loud children! To see baby spit up on the shoulder of my husband's shirt. To see Cassidy's toys strewn all over the living room. To have a baby cooing softly in the background when Joel and I say our prayers at night. WHAT. A. JOY. IT. IS.
Yes, there are times that Joel and I are that unhappy looking couple at the restaurant. Some days are just really hard and we can't help but let it show a little. Strong drinks will definitely be ordered, defeated glances might be exchanged, one or both of us may have to take the baby outside when he gets too loud. But even at the end of the worst possible day, we both go to bed thanking God for our little family. No one could ask for a better life than ours.

Why your boss should let you take smartphone breaks
Updated On: Jul 16 2014 06:20:00 AM EDT
Listen up bosses: According to new research, letting employees take a short break to play on their smartphones improves their work performance.
The research from Kansas State University found that employees who took a short break to play Angry Birds or text a friend, reported feeling more productive at the end of the day.
The psychologists created an application that tracked how long participants used their phone at work and what kind of activities they indulged in. Taking a break for some fun helped relieve stress.
"When employees are more likely to spend their time in social related or entertainment related smartphone usage, their well being at the end of the working day were higher than employees who did not," explained Kansas State University researcher Sooyeol Kim.
There were 72 full-time workers from various industries studied. Kim found the employees only spent an average of 22 minutes on their smartphones during an 8-hour workday.
