Walking the Red Carpet to attend the Premiere of her new film "The Nut Job" at Regal Cinemas L.A, Sarah Gadon was seen wearing a Rendez-Vous Night & Day pink gold. Sarah Gadon discovered Jaeger-LeCoultre feminine collection during her visit to the Manufacture last year. In this new animation movie by Peter Lepeniotis, Sarah Gadon is the voice of "Lana". Her Rendez-Vous Night & Day watch in pink gold is probably the best example of Rendez-Vous collection, expressing Jaeger-Lecoultre vision of an elegant and modern woman.
During awaited 71st presentation of Golden Globes ceremony held in Los Angeles, Actor Robert Downey Junior appeared on stage wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hometime Aston Martin. His Master Hometime Aston Martin is a great example of Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Collection, with clear-cut line and elegant shapes to return to the fundamental of the classical round watch.

The Twins
this wiki
- "The Freys have held the Crossing for six hundred years, and in six hundred years they've never failed to exact their toll."
- ―Catelyn Stark
The Twins, sometimes known as The Crossing, is a castle in the Riverlands. It is the seat of House Frey, a vassal house of House Tully of Riverrun. It is located within the Riverlands. It consists of two near-identical towers and a fortified bridge over the Green Fork of the River Trident.
The Twins represents the only crossing point over the Green Fork for hundreds of miles in either direction. It is a major barrier to travelers and merchants traveling from the North to the western Riverlands. It lies directly athwart the main route from Winterfell to Riverrun. Moving from one castle to the other whilst avoiding the Twins requires a lengthy detour hundreds of miles to the south or hazardously traversing the bogs and swamps of the Neck to the north.[1]
The Freys' rise began three generations before the events of the series with the building of a stone bridge over the Green Fork. They grew wealthy by charging passing travelers for the use of the Crossing.[2][3]
Notable residents of the castle
- Lord Walder Frey, known as "the Late Lord Frey", the ancient lord of the castle.
- Stevron Frey, Lord Walder's firstborn son and heir.
- Ser Walder Rivers, a bastard son of Lord Walder's by a milkmaid.
- Lothar Frey, known as "Lame Lothar", Lord Walder's son.
- Walder Frey, known as "Black Walder", Lord Walder's great-grandson.
- Olyvar Frey, one of Lord Frey's sons, formerly squire for {Robb Stark}.
- Roslin Frey, Lord Walder's fifth daughter and Lord Edmure Tully's wife.
- Waldron Frey, another of Lord Walder's sons, formerly betrothed to Arya Stark.
- Fat Walda Frey, Lord Walder's granddaughter and Lord Roose Bolton's wife.
- Lady {Joyeuse Frey}, Lord Frey's eighth wife.
Lord Walder's vast brood, including sons, daughters, their spouses, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons and great-granddaughters.
Season 1
Robb Stark needs to cross the river at the Twins to face Tywin Lannister's forces in battle, but his mother warns him that Lord Walder Frey is proud, prickly and unreliable. She negotiates on Robb's behalf and wins an alliance: in return for allowing Robb's forces to cross and for the allegiance of House Frey, Robb and Arya must marry some of House Frey's offspring. Robb must also take Olyvar Frey as his squire, a knighthood being expected in due course. Robb accepts the deal. His army crosses the river and splits into two forces, a diversionary force to face Tywin and a larger force to ride hard and attack Jaime Lannister's forces north of Riverrun.[4]
Season 2
The Twins are referenced in conversation between Robb Stark and his eventual bride Talisa Maegyr on the topic of Robb's promised betrothal to any Frey girl of his choosing - upon asked why, Robb declares that The Twins is "a very important bridge".[5]
Season 3
After the funeral of his grandfather, Robb Stark comes to conclusion that drastic action must be taken to force the Lannisters to surrender by taking Casterly Rock. This plan is hindered by the murder of two Lannister children, Martyn and Willem who were Robb's prisoners by his bannerman Rickard Karstark - causing Robb to take Rickard's head as justice for defying his orders. This action left Robb without the support of House Karstark and a large portion of his army, so he sought to redeem his favour with House Frey and Walder Frey by marrying his uncle to a Frey girl. As Robb had defied the oath he had took to marry a Frey girl himself, he was on bad terms with the Twins, but all seemed to be forgiven. The event that occurred became known as the Red Wedding, and revealed the traitorous intentions of House Bolton and Roose Bolton, and the wrath of Lord Walder Frey as he ordered an ambush attack after the bedding ceremony which resulted in the demise of Robb Stark, his wife Talisa Stark and his mother Catelyn Stark, the imprisonment of Edmure Tully and the massacre of some of Robb's bannermen and a large amount of Northern soldiers were killed in the camps outside the Twins.[6]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Frey was a minor house of the Riverlands until six hundred years ago. The Frey's Crossing was initially defended by wooden castles at either end. Using the wealth generated by their toll they replaced the wooden castles with strong stone ones, complete with portcullises, moats and barbicans. The bridge itself is covered and wide enough for two wagons to travel abreast. The Crossing has its own tower, named the Water Tower. House Frey's rise gained them vassal houses of their own: Houses Charlton, Erenford and Haigh.

Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - James van Riemsdyk scored the lone goal of
the shootout to send the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 triumph over the New
Jersey Devils on Sunday at Air Canada Centre.
Van Riemsdyk opened the shootout with a nifty backhander past Cory Schneider
before Jonathan Bernier turned aside all three New Jersey shooters to give the
Leafs their first victory since claiming the Winter Classic.
Van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak each lit the lamp in regulation, while Bernier
stopped 36 shots to help snap Toronto's four-game slide.
"We needed this bad," Bernier said. "We found a way. If that's what it takes
to go into a shootout and get points and move on like this, it feels good for
the confidence."
Adam Henrique and Ryane Clowe scored a goal apiece for the Devils, who
extended their point streak to four games (2-0-2) despite the loss.
"I couldn't have drawn it up much better than how we played and the effort we
got," New Jersey head coach Peter DeBoer said.
Schneider made 23 saves in defeat.
Bozak buried a rebound from in front with 4:07 left in the first to give the
Leafs the lead, but Henrique responded with a wrister from the right circle
with New Jersey on the power play 1:39 into the second to tie the game.
Toronto regained control with a power-play goal of its own at 5:56, as van
Riemsdyk put home a rebound from the doorstep for a 2-1 lead.
However, Clowe got behind the defense and converted a breakaway with a
backhander just 27 seconds later, giving him his first goal of the season and
tying the game at 2-2.
Neither netminder blinked in the final frame, with Schneider stopping six
shots and Bernier blocking seven to force overtime.
New Jersey outshot Toronto, 4-0, in the extra session.
Toronto has won six straight against New Jersey and is 7-0-2 over its past
nine against the Devils overall ... Both teams went 1-for-4 on the power play
... Toronto's Phil Kessel had two assists.

Cannonball found in building wall
Published: Monday, February 24, 2014 at 3:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 24, 2014 at 3:15 p.m.
Wilmington | Wilmington fire and police departments responded Monday afternoon to 43rd Street near Wrightsville Avenue after a report that a cannonball had been found, said a Wilmington Fire Department battalion chief.
About 2 p.m., someone tearing down a small building discovered the cannonball in a wall and called authorities, said Jason Jordan, the WFD battalion chief.
Also responding, shortly before 3 p.m., was the Wilmington Police Department's bomb squad, which was determining if the shell was live. A WPD spokeswoman did not return calls or text messages asking what the bomb squad found or the final fate of the shell.
The cannonball was possibly from the Civil War era, Jordan said, as the area around the intersection of 43rd Street and Wrightsville Avenue was an armory during the war, supplying Fort Fisher with ammunition.
"This isn't the first time something like this has been found in this area," Jordan said.

Channel 7 reports that the average pay in 2012 for Metro station managers and bus and rail operators was about $67,000.
WMATA tells Channel 7 there are mandatory rest periods for all of its operators, and many overtime hours come from the need to re-build the system. For example, bus operators may work extra hours to provide shuttle service to commuters on days when stations are closed for service or have limited service due to maintenance work.
News Channel 7 received salary and overtime information for 15 WMATA employees out of roughly 4,500 transportation operators and station managers.

Please note that the form this list is using is considered to be defunct.
Click here to edit or add a reason to this top-ten list!
|Emmett The Sex Addict ~ Em and Rosalie are NOT addicted to sex, for crying out loud.
|Bella The Klutz ~ Yes, Bella is uncoordinated, But just because Smeyer points that out every other sentence doesn't mean we have too. "Oops! Bella Fell... AGAIN"
|Alice the Shopaholic ~ It is a well known fact that most women (and some men. And some women hate shopping) enjoy shopping, but Alice's train of thought is NOT always "Shopping! Shopping! shopping!" She has a I.Q. and feelings.
|Carlisle The Sexy but Calm Doctor ~ Screw the fact that Carlisle is a humanitarian who leads the family, people only see him as Sexy, a Doctor, and Calm. There is nothing else to him (note: I am Sarcastic)
|Esme The Clean Freak ~ Where on Earth in Twilight does Stephenie Meyer portray Esme Cleaning everything??? NOWHERE!
|Tanya the Whore ~ Everyone thinks that Tanya is only there as a potential Edward stealer. She is also a stripper. Oh, Wait... We saw her in Breaking Dawn ... And she is NICE!
|Edward the Emo ~ Despite the fact that I hate him, he can smile and he sometimes a sense of humor. He is not an Emo.
|Rosalie the Heartless Anti Bella Bitch ~ She teamed up with Bella in Breaking Dawn. and she was only rude to Bella because she wanted Bella to stay human... WTF.
|Jacob the Egotistical Jerk ~ "Look at me! I'm hot! My abs! I'm sort of beautiful!!" No, his looks are not everything. He does have a personality and some rabid Team Jacob fans are not helping.
|Jasper the Quiet Depressed One ~ According to Rabid Twitards, Jasper is nothing more than a super quiet person with no personality. He is also thought to be depressed, cutting himself, emo, and uncontrollable. He has not personality (sarcasm). NO! He is reserved thanks to Maria! He DOES have a personality! >:(
- Feel free to keep the list going!
|Jane the Evil Little Nasty ~ Yes, Jane is pretty evil, but I'm sure she was somewhat nice before Aro turned her! And imagine how boring the Twilight Saga would be without the bad guys!
|Renesmee the World's Perfect Child ~ She is a bigger Mary-Sue then Bella and Edward combined. Cased closed.
|Aro the Cheerful ~ Oh, Come on... At one point in his life he has been sad... He isn't always skipping and crapping rainbows.
|Felix the Evil Cullen Hater ~ I think he has a good bone in his body. Everyone hates him because he gave Edward the whipping of a lifetime.
|Irina the Bitch ~ Irina was in Forks because she felt bad for not helping the Cullen's fight the newborns in Eclipse and wanted to make peace. The only reason she told the Volturi that Renesmee was an immortal child was because she actually believed she was one and thought Renesmee really was dangerous. She probably didn't want the same thing that happened to her mother happen to the Cullen's.
|The Volturi are heartless - Half the time they are intervining on the Cullen's, they were just doing their job. Plus what would happen if no one was around to keep order in the vampire world. Yes, death is their punisment, but can you think of any other way to punish a vampire.
|Jessica the Airhead--Hello! In the Eclipse movie she was the class valedictorian. She has a brain! She's smarter than Bella!

it's Pretty Fly (For a NOFX album)
it's Pretty Fly (For a NOFX album)
I've been listening to the new Pennywise album & new Anti-Flag. Both are good albums. My favorite would have to be Days Go By. I haven't checked out Linkin Park yet. I have a hard time listening to their stuff, always sounds the same to me.
Days Go By. The Offspring men have been making great albums and playing for the awesome fans.
Best: Local H. Say what you will - theyre a damn good band. As Good As Dead, Here Comes the Zoo, What Ever Happened to PJ Soles....all great albums IMO.
Worst: Creed. I recently listened to their "Human Clay" album - because I realized hating something without fully giving it a chance is stupid. Now, I can say with certainty that I fucking HATE Creed.
My top five favorites so far:
1. Regina Spektor - What We Saw from the Cheap Seats
2. Serj Tankian - Harakiri
3. Santigold - Master of my Make Believe
4. Toussaint Morrison - Is Not My Boyfriend
5. Pink - The Truth About Love
Runners up:
Offspring - Days Go By
Garbage - Not Your Kind of People
Fun. - Some Nights
Green Day - Uno
No Doubt - Push and Shove
Tennis - Young and Old
The Used - Vulnerable
Kimbra - Vows
Alanis Morissette - Havoc and Bright Lights
Ones that I just can't get into/don't like:
Pennywise - All or Nothing
Linkin Park - Living Things
Eve 6 - Speak in Code
I also like the Barenaked Ladies b-sides album, Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before!
It's been a pretty damn good year in music, and with Tegan and Sara slated to release their new album soon, there's still more goodness to come!
Just this past week has been awesome for music:
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
Chaos embodied.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Go gorgeous.
Titus Andronicus - Local Business
A ton of fun! This one leaked, but I couldn't find the full album, so here's a song.
Death Grips - NO LOVE DEEP WEB
Not as good as The Money Store or Ex-Military, but still fucking crazy experimental hip-hop.
Balmorhea - Stranger
So fucking pretty.
And here's some punk bands that had new albums come out earlier that I think you guys would be really into. Check them out, they're pretty much all up-and-comers:
Glocca Morra - Just Married
Real noodly stuff, recorded by the guy who recorded my band's album (out later this year/early next year!!!)
Joyce Manor - Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired
The future of punk music as we know it? A lot of people seem to think so!
Joie De Vivre - We're All Better Than This
Not really punk, but I think people here would really dig this.
John K. Samson - Provincial
Canadian and heartfelt and excellent.
Wow, this thread has made me realise that I haven't even listened to any new albums in way too long.
I've only even listened to 2 songs off the new Offspring album
Gotta get back into music listening!!
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I still have a lot of albums that I need to listen to this year, but this might be my favorite so far.
My previous signature was getting old. This is my new one.
Other than Days Go By I found myself really enjoying
Billy Talent-Dead Silence
The Lumineers (self titled)
P!nk- The Truth About Love ( Don't judge)
Lana Del Rey- Born To Die
I'm gonna probably check out Edward Shape And The Magnetic Zeros cd called Here
I can't wait to listen to Taylor Swift's new ablum when it comes on next week (once again don't judge me)

Don't know how you're voting, but here's the winning ticket:
Peyton Manning for NFL most valuable player.
Collin Klein for Heisman Trophy.
Could it be possible for Colorado to produce America's two most decorated football players of 2012?
Yes. We can.
Manning might be the greatest comeback story since "Kung Fu Panda" was playing in movie theaters. A year ago, Manning was like every couch potato in America on Sunday, watching football, wishing he could be on the field. Indianapolis ran Manning so far out of town that he didn't stop until hitting the Rocky Mountains. But, on Sunday night, Manning was living the Hall of Fame dream, sending the Saints marching back to New Orleans with the shame of a 34-14 defeat.
Klein, the pride of Loveland, is the star of a magical tale that's stranger than fiction. You mean to tell me a Colorado-bred quarterback, unwanted by the flagship university of his home state, could lead Kansas State to a national championship? And how could it be that Klein, not some blond quarterback from Southern California, is the prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman? Three months ago, I wouldn't have bought that story if J.K. Rowling wrote it.
After four surgeries on his neck and a layoff of more than a year from the game, conventional wisdom and common sense argued there was no way Manning could possibly be as good for the Broncos as he was for the Colts in 2009, the last time he won the MVP.
Well, consider this: Manning might be better than ever. Against the Saints, he threw for more than 300 yards for the fifth consecutive time in a Denver uniform.
Back when there were doubters, longtime friend Brandon Stokley promised Manning had not slipped from his status as an elite quarterback.
"Pat me on the back," Stokley joked, after Manning recorded a near-perfect 138.9 quarterback rating against the Saints. "He feels good about himself. And he feels confident in his body, confident that he can withstand hits, confident he can play great football."
Is Manning as good as he was in 2009?
"Oh, before that. You've got to go back to 2004," Stokley said, laughing. "People say you can't play as good as you did five or six years ago, because of your age. I don't believe in that. If you've got it in you, age doesn't matter."
Manning distributed passes to more Broncos than the New Orleans defense could imagine covering. Even at age 36, Manning takes a licking and keeps on ticking, as he not only survived the hardest hit he's taken this season, but delivered a completion to Eric Decker in the process. His mastery at moving Denver to the end zone has become so intimidating the Saints dared to go for it on fourth down at midfield early in the second quarter ... and failed miserably. "We played fast," Manning said.
Klein, who wasn't good enough for Dan Hawkins to recruit at the University of Colorado, is putting together a season in the Big 12 Conference that not only makes preseason Heisman favorite Matt Barkley drool, but also busts the wacky myth that Tim Tebow was the greatest player in college football history.
After a rout of Texas Tech moved Kansas State's record to 8-0 and improved the Wildcats to No. 2 in the BCS standings, it is entirely possible Klein could enter the national championship game with 2,500 yards passing, 1,000 yards rushing and 45 touchdowns containing his fingerprints. Take that, Tebowmaniacs. Red Raiders safety Terrance Bullitt found Klein such a frightening foe he cites a "Rocky IV" reference, comparing going toe-to-toe with the K-State quarterback to stepping in the ring with Ivan Drago.
Unlike the presidential race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama that's too close to call, Klein could come out of nowhere to win the Heisman in a landslide. For the moment, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o seems to be the lone threat to a runaway victory by Klein.
While the candidacy of Houston defensive lineman J.J. Watt is being pushed by the football cognescenti, the masses understand this league is run by quarterbacks. So the MVP is going to a Manning. If not Peyton, then Eli will claim the award in the name of the New York Giants.
But, trust me, the award is staying in the family.
How about we settle it at the Super Bowl, boys?

Feel free to post. Will add my results in a bit as an edit. I have a suspicion alteil range may have caused people to be more likely to get the same cards. Also indicate number of pulls/gran value. and whether normal ex pack or sphere ex pack
edit.I put in about 70 dollars worth of gran. Already got some ex s from prebuilts. Got playsets of some exs and 2 of some playable. Missed some. Got 1 of a few. But alteil range and due to random chance itself meant I tended to get the same cards. Good and bad since I got playsets of cards but 0/1 copy of other cards. Maybe add more detailed results later

2013 Wedding Trends
Skamania Lodge, located only 45 minutes from Portland, Oregon has always been considered a premier location for weddings in the Pacific Northwest. As a proud member of the Destination Hotels & Resorts family, we are very excited to share the results of their inaugural survey of nearly 30 of Destination's wedding specialists. The survey revealed some of 2012's most popular wedding trends, and provided keen insight as to what wedding planners and couples can anticipate for 2013.
Overall, the survey indicated the most important considerations in selecting a wedding venue are budget, location and availability of outdoor space, with the least important considerations identified as incentive programs, privacy and spa offerings. Additionally, the survey revealed an anticipated increase in GLBT weddings in 2013 and a shortening of the traditional six to 12 month lead time for ceremonies. Numbers also supported an expected increase in drive-market weddings.
The survey also yielded five key trends for 2013 - and five fads on the way out.
In: Quality Over Quantity. While budgets are up compared to 2011, they've been redirected compared to years past. "We anticipate small party weddings (50 guests or less) to rise in the next year," said Jena Dyches of Skamania Lodge. "Couples are spending more on personalizing the individual elements of the reception, rather than on accommodating large groups," she continued. The average cost per person the portfolio saw in 2012 was approximately $120/per person.
Out: Large Bridal Parties. Echoing the sentiments of quality over quantity, planners expect bridal parties to shrink as well in 2013. "The days of matching dresses and large bridal parties are shifting; smaller parties and bridesmaids choosing their own dress style and even color are becoming more common," says Abbey Arp of MileNorth Hotel.
In: Foodie Fever. The focus on customized food and beverage offerings at weddings was at an all time high in 2012. While the cost of food within hotels and resorts remained relatively flat for the year, culinary offerings were an area most couples invested in heavily. "Couples are focused on food they love and sharing it with their guests, for an intimate dinner party feel," said Kimberly Baez of Terranea Resort. From food trucks to gluten free menus, there was a broad variety of dishes served in 2012 reaffirming the importance of a thoughtful, personalized menu for couples and their guests.
Out: Chicken or Fish. Planners are seeing menus without limitations. "We're seeing a little bit of everything – multiple courses with wine pairings, plated dinners, breakfast for dinner, tapas, cultural dishes, kosher, family-style meals, but each is carefully selected and seems to have a meaning to the couples, their friends and families," says Baez.
In: #GettingHitched. Social media engagement is increasingly becoming a key factor in wedding planning. In addition to the Pinterest phenomenon, couples are incorporating numerous social elements into their wedding. "We've had a lot of couples "hashtag" their weddings, making all of the online posts, images and uploads easily available post-ceremony," says Julie Arroyo of Paradise Point. "This is making it very important for our staff to be up-to-date and savvy on the latest social media trends," she continued.
Out: Weddings without WiFi. #Obvi. While photo booths were hot in 2011 and 2012, brides are now turning to programs like Snapgram and Instagram to do the photo sharing work, all they have to do is provide the flare.
In: Breaking a Few Traditions. Another trend that emerged in 2012, anticipated to really take off in 2013 is the drift away from the traditional elements seen in decades past. "It's no longer a "faux pas" to have a Friday wedding or open seating," explained Calais Van Horn of Stowe Mountain Lodge. "We're getting more and more requests for off-peak times, evening ceremonies and welcome receptions replacing formal rehearsal dinners," Van Horn said.
Out: The garter and bouquet toss. "We've been seeing this trend rapidly decline over the past few years but it was almost non-existent in 2012, and don't expect it to return in 2013," says Pam Sparks of Valley River Inn.
(Still) In: Channeling Martha Stewart. The DIY trend is not going away any time soon. The survey indicates 90% of weddings that took place among the portfolio's properties in 2012 had several handmade or homemade, Pinterest-inspired elements. Menus, take-away gifts, centerpieces, bridal bouquets and even desserts are increasingly being "made with love" rather than ordered.
Out: Anything Uninspired. If you're a bride-to-be, it's all about creating a personalized affair.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Metro will operate for 22 hours on Inauguration Day, opening three hours early at 4 a.m. and remaining open until 2 a.m. From the time the system opens, trains will operate at rush-hour service levels for 17 consecutive hours, until 9 p.m., to accommodate expected crowds.
On Saturday, January 19:
• Several dozen Metrobus routes will be shortened due to road closures near the National Mall. Customers should check Metro's Inauguration Day map for special "turn back" locations in Downtown DC. Those customers traveling beyond the National Mall should use Metrorail to complete their trip.
• Avoid transferring between Metrorail lines. There is a station near the National Mall on each of Metro's five rail lines. Use Metro's "Best Route" trip planner at wmata.com/inauguration to find the best station to use.
• Sign up for Metro Inauguration Alerts at wmata.com/inauguration. By email and text message, Metro will provide real-time updates of any service changes over Inauguration Weekend, as well as important news about traveling on Metro prior to the event. Customers can also follow Metro's special Inauguration Day Twitter account @MetroInaug.
• Metro expects high ridership to Inaugural events. Be prepared for long lines, full trains and buses and the possibility of intermittent delays due to large crowds. Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes.
• Bicycles, large coolers or containers will not be permitted aboard Metrorail during Inauguration Weekend (Saturday through Monday). Prohibited items at Inauguration events include weapons, explosives, backpacks, laser pointers, alcohol, sticks and poles. For a complete list of prohibited items, check the website for your event. Also, smoking, eating and drinking are prohibited within the Metro system, including trains, buses and stations.
Metro Preparations
• More than 200 of Metro's administrative employees have volunteered to serve as "Metro Ambassadors" on Inauguration Day. Ambassadors will be available at Metro's busiest rail stations to assist visitors with purchasing fare media and finding their way. Customers will be able to identify Ambassadors by looking for their high-visibility reflective vests.
• Metro Transit Police will augment their full complement of officers with nearly 150 police officers from transit systems across the nation. The additional officers will go through a weekend of training and familiarization before being deputized to serve on Inauguration Day.
• Metro will activate its Emergency Operations Command Center at 3 a.m. on Inauguration Day. The Center will allow high-level representatives from all mission-critical departments to share information in real time and to respond to any operational issues that may arise. Metro Transit Police will provide representation in the US Secret Service's Multi Agency Command Center, and Metro Media Relations staff will provide coverage in the US Secret Service's Joint Information Center.

A Bethesda woman won a trip to France for a creative dish in a national restaurant chain's recipe contest.
Laurie Webber won La Madeleine Country French Cafe's "Recipe to Paris" contest with her Tomato Basil Mini Pochettes, puff pastry filled with cheese and the restaurant's Tomato Basil soup. The contest required participants to create an original recipe using the soup.
There were about 5,000 votes on the more than 200 recipes in the three-week contest.
Webber learned of the contest at the downtown Bethesda La Madeleine at 7607 Old Georgetown Road. She tested out the pochettes on friends and family members, then started asking people for votes once she found out she was a finalist. Her daughters named the dish.
Webber will get a week-long trip to France that will include tours of Paris and vineyards and fruit orchards in the Loire Valley.
During the contest, the Dallas-based chain donated $1 to the Children's Hunger Fund for each jar of Tomato Basil that was purchased. They will donate $11,514.

[♫Percussion music] [CEDROS444] I look forward to shoot days more than any other day of the year. I mean, it's like Christmas. [♫String music] Good. Good. [♫String music continues] [Camera shutter sounds] Good. Excellent. I like to create images that are full of movement, peak action--they're dynamic, they're vibrant, [Tim Tadder][Photographer] they're explosive, they're in your face. [♫String music continues] There are moments that are like sometimes beyond reality, and sometimes they're very much a perfect reality-- and sometimes they're just the perfect--the height--you know--decisive moment. [♫string music] When you're working with movement-- that instant in time, you're sort of limited towards the motion of your talent. So what we're doing today is we're trying to add an extra dimension to that movement, which is going to be using this powder to bring that 2D movement in our still form a bit more 3-dimensional, by adding an explosion of powder around the talent so that we can really see how the movement is affecting the space around it. [sound of camera shutter] Good. All right--I got it. So much of what I use Photoshop for is to bring together ideas that couldn't necessarily happen in our Real World. So we've taken paint and we've thrown it on a mannequin so that we can get a way that the paint wraps around the body form, without actually having the body form there-- and we're combining those two things. There's my blue child. The moment I saw that CS5 came out-- literally, I probably got it the first day. [♫string music] And the reason I upgraded right away was for the 64-bit capability--and the performance is huge. You know--my work, on the back end, is all about time. [♫string music][sound of cue balls] Now I'm able to work a lot faster; it Saves faster, Renders faster. [♫Percussion music] A lot of the work that we do are complex Masking and Selections. So they've made some awesome improvements with Quick Selection tool where you're able to go right from a Quick Selection into the Refine Edge feature. [♫Bass music] So now I have my selection here. So you can see-- now I'm going to use this Refine Radius tool in here. Let's work that edge a little bit better. I'm going to output it to New Layer with a Layer Mask. So now I have all the detail, but it's already in it as a layered Mask. And I've just speeded up my process by large chunks of time--so, I mean, we're talking probably an hour per selection that I've knocked out. Now I'm going to use Puppet Warp tool to warp this mannequin behind him. In this situation, Puppet Warp is a good option for me to bend the body form of the mannequin behind the talent--you know? It's something that's new in Photoshop CS5. [♫String and percussion music] The very last thing that I do, after working on the micro-adjustments, is I go through a final round of global adjustments. This is where I work on my final skin tones or my final coloring. I am constantly inspired to make a better product, to make a better image because people respond to that, and that drives everything else. [♫String and percussion music] [Adobe®]

text: Tilda Swinton has long been one of our favorite figures in fashion for her bold, androgynous style choices and spooky sense of playfulness. "Unconventionally sexy" is not a euphemism when applied to her; there is nothing conventional about her allure, and she wouldn't want anyone to think so. When appearing in magazines, Swinton never fails to impress, but her latest massive 15-page editorial spread for W's August issue is really something else. The accompanying online article cites such disparate influences as "Arnold Genthe's portraits of Greta Garbo, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, and the work of French artist and provocateur Claude Cahun, famous in the Twenties for her explorations of gender role play," as well as Swinton's "aesthetic North Stars," her father and David Bowie. I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

A family spokesman says former U.S. Sen. George McGovern, the Democrat who lost to President Richard Nixon in 1972 in a historic landslide, has died at the age of 90.
The spokesman, Steve Hildebrand, told The Associated Press by telephone that McGovern died at 5:15 a.m. Sunday at a hospice in Sioux Falls, surrounded by family and friends.
McGovern was a bomber pilot in World War II who became an early critic of the Vietnam War and a leader of the Democrats' liberal wing.
He was elected to his first of three Senate terms in 1962.

January 28th, 2013
A Mississippi teenager is taking a victory lap after Gatorade announced it will change a minor ingredient in some of its popular sports drinks.
Sarah Kavanagh, a fifteen-year-old volleyball player and Gatorade lover, was drinking an orange Gatorade at home when she read about one of the ingredients in it. She dumped out the rest of the bottle right then and there, and began an online campaign to lobby the company to change formulas. The petition eventually drew over 200,000 signatures.
"I don't want to use a product that has [BVO] in it," she told CNN affiliate WDAM. "The Gatorade company in the U.K. doesn't use it; they don't think it's necessary. So obviously we can make the same product without this ingredient."
PepsiCo Inc, which makes Gatorade, says for the past year - before the petition began - it has been studying that very question, and performed "extensive sensory testing." Over the next few months, bottles with the new recipe will be phased in on store shelves, to replace the flavors like orange and citrus-cooler that used BVO. (Many flavors, like grape and fruit punch, never used it in the first place.)
Gatorade said in a statement, "While our products are safe, we are making this change because we know that some consumers have a negative perception of BVO in Gatorade, despite being permitted for use in North American and Latin American countries."
Michael Jacobson at the Center for Science in the Public Interest said he thinks the substance shouldn't be used in food. He said in one test on animals, BVO caused a behavior change - although the test was done at much higher doses. "This substance has not been demonstrated to be safe," he said. "Unfortunately it's been very poorly tested."
The Food and Drug Administration reiterated that it considers BVO safe, at the low levels used in drinks. "Based on several long-term animal studies," said FDA spokeswoman Shelly Burgess, "the FDA has determined that BVO is safe and presents no health risks."
The substance is used in plenty of other drink brands. A quick trip to the supermarket showed it listed on the labels of Fresca, Fanta, Mountain Dew, Sun Drop, and some flavors of Powerade.
The makers of those drinks - PepsiCo, CocaCola, and Dr. Pepper/Snapple - assured CNN that the drinks are safe, and they each emphasized that they are in compliance with the FDA, and the ingredients are clearly marked on the labels. All three also said they are always open to reformulating their recipes.
Kavanagh is eager to enjoy her favorite sports drink again.
"I didn't expect all the attention to be brought to it," she said, "but I'm definitely grateful for it."

ACCA's Tuition Provider Directory is an online directory of tuition providers who teach any of ACCA's qualifications. You can search the list by tuition provider name, location, qualification, course type or any combination of these criteria.
The tuition providers you will find on the Tuition Provider Directory include:
Search for ACCA tuition providers by following the link to the left hand side. Tuition providers in the directory include:
- Approved Learning Partners (Platinum / Gold)
ACCA's Approved Learning Partners are tuition providers who have demonstrated that they can meet a range of challenging performance targets set by ACCA. Gold and Platinum approvals are granted only to high-quality tuition providers whom ACCA is confident to recommend your trainees who are studying accountancy.
- Subscribers to ACCA's Tuition Provider Directory
These providers have applied for and are working towards the approval as part of the Approved Learning Partners (ALP) programme. Subscribers have not completed all stages of the application process to become an ALP and therefore do not hold formal approval from ACCA at this time.
To guarantee a quality learning experience for your trainees during their ACCA studies, we strongly recommends that they choose to study with one of our Approved Learning Partners. These can clearly be identified by the Approved Learning Partner Platinum / Gold logo.

A Portrait of George Hardy tells the story of an elderly self-taught folk artist living on Deer Isle, Maine, isolated from popular art trends and mainstream culture and society.
In this slice of "Americana" we meet George Hardy, an elderly self-taught artist, living on the island of Deer Isle, Maine. Born on Deer Isle in 1917, Hardy has continued to live there ever since. After making a living as a mason, he began his career in folk art at the age of 60. Isolated from art trends, with no formal training and only a seventh grade education, his work is concrete, raw and direct. His sculpture is very much a part of his environment. From his roughened hands come the energized versions of wooden porcupines, tigers, red foxes with alligator teeth, blue howling coyotes, seagulls and song birds; although Hardy is authentic, he is keenly aware of the Maine mystique and learned how to package it well for his summer customers. His relationship to these people is of interest because they help support his family and the continuation of his work. Hardy's work follows a cyclical and seasonal rhythm: the film carefully blends the sense of environment with the pace of the life and work presented. The music provided by banjo player Ross Greenlaw and fiddler Rob McCall (both Blue Hill, Maine) plays a pivotal role in the structure of the film. The filmmaker, who is also a Maine native, creates a very expressive mix of black and white as well as color film and video footage to tell this story.
A Portrait of George Hardy is produced by Gabriel Coakly and distrubuted by Documentary Educational Resources.

On today's date (Dec. 22) at approximately 1:30 a.m., detectives from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg were sent to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, KY to investigate an allegation that an 18 day old male, Gaven Henderson, of Scottsburg, had suffered inflicted, life threatening injuries.
The only information available at this time is that the mother of the child found him unresponsive at approximately 10:30 p.m. last night, and called 911. The child was transported to the Scott County Memorial Hospital and then transferred to the Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky where he later died.
An autopsy will be performed at the Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office in Louisville, KY tomorrow morning to determine the exact cause of death.
As the Christmas season is upon us and winter has finally begun, these are the times when families come closer together to share their lives during the holiday season. Many of us have a lot of fond memories to share during the holidays, so our readers have contacted us with their stories and memories that mean so much to them. This gives us the opportunity to reflect back on our memories as well and to remember times which is hopefully a joyous occasion in most of our lives. Some there are some bitter sweet memories and some folks have some not so pleasant memories during this season.

Me and many others wouldn't be able to fek up that much even if we tried to.

You can't even play returns. Which BTW **** this setup somewhat hard. So does bitter destiny. And I honestly expect refess/gowen decks to just roll all over a field of 3 mermaids, especially with so much time to set up.
It's strong for sure (possibly a bit too economical, probably a -1 reff sphere cost would be justified) but it's not impossible to beat. It is most likely better used sprinkled after a fieldwipe when you do not want to waste SP on reviving 3-4 units or are ow on LP than having it looped.

Over the weekend I watched Slumdog Millionaire, English director Danny Boyle's movie about a poor boy in Mumbai who wins millions on a game show but who is accused of cheating. The movie was the darling of 2009, garnering a boatload of awards, including nine Oscars, five Critics' Choice, four Golden Globes and seven awards from the British Academy Film Awards. I liked Slumdog Millionaire. It isn't Danny Boyle's best work, but it may be his most ambitious. Nor is it the best movie for demonstrating child poverty in Mumbai. A better one is the heart-rending work from 1988 Salaam Bombay.
Danny Boyle creates atmosphere well. Slumdog's gritty scenes of poverty and desperation reminded of his earlier and perhaps best film, Trainspotting, which follows the gritty, heroin-laced lives of five disaffected boys in Edinburgh.
I also couldn't help but be reminded of Charles Dickens. I've been enjoying Masterpiece Theatre presentations of Dickens' works over these last few months — David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit, and The Old Curiosity Shop. Slumdog Millionaire is a story that Dickens could have written. The brother Salim in Slumdog Millionaire is a chip off the Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist. Both lead gangs of child criminals, both answer to dangerous men who manipulate and motivate the boys through their desire for material possessions.
Charles Dickens' books offered strong commentary on social class and cast light on the awful state of child poverty. His books ultimately caused the enactment of child labor laws. While Slumdog Millionaire is a story that Dickens might have enjoyed, I also think it is one that would have made him sad and frustrated to see the plight of children in today's world.
