Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.
One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.
Hardcover young adult novel, 512 pages.
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .
Nominated for over 2 dozen awards, this New York Times bestseller is a must-read for teens and parents alike. Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced.
She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged, because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she's determined to let everyone know it... somehow.
In this breakthrough story - reminiscent of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - from multiple Coretta Scott King Award-winner Sharon Draper, readers will come to know a brilliant mind and a brave spirit who will change forever how they look at anyone with a disability.
Softcover containing 320 pages.

We had a very nice stay

The parking space is secure. We had a very nice four day stay. It is a nice area to stay in. The traffic load to and from the house is only high in the morning and late afternoon. They give a lot of value for the price they charge. We would stay there again.
Great stay

Irene B&B
Irene B&B provides affordable and safe accommodation, as well as good service with a personal touch. This B&B is situated in Irene in Centurion. The B&B is ideal for business and short trips to Centurion and Pretoria. It is ideally located as it lies between the main highways to Johannesburg, Midrand, Kempton Park and all the suburbs of Tshwane. It is easily accessible from the N1, as well as from the OR Tambo International Airport.
We offer single and sharing accommodation, as well as a self-catering option for those who would prefer to do their own cooking at their own pace. Irene B&B provides guests with a warm and relaxed atmosphere, filled with the comfort and privacy of your own home. If you enjoy staying at places where you feel like a welcome friend rather than just another guest, you'll feel right at home with us. Secure parking and a private entrance for guests ensure your safety and privacy.
Irene Village is a beautiful and historic little township. Be sure to visit the historical landmark from the Anglo Boer War to the Concentration Camp. There is also a dairy farm within walking distance, complete with its own farm store where you can purchase fresh milk or home-baked bread and cakes. While you are there, why not have lunch under the huge oak trees and enjoy the farm atmosphere? Visiting the calves and watching the cows being milked is a popular activity for families with small children.
If you're a sport lover you could visit SuperSport Park which is a mere 3 km away, or enjoy a golf game at the Irene Golf Club. Rietvlei Dam offers scenic routes for cyclists, providing a beautiful view of the dam and the adjacent nature reserve, as well as angling facilities for the keen fisherman.
The historical Smuts House Museum is a major place of interest for those who love history. A climb up Smuts Koppie is worthwhile and will give you some good exercise. The Irene Market, which takes place on two Saturdays each month, is a must see. This popular market is the ideal opportunity to buy original gifts to take back home, or to stock up for Christmas. The market features a variety of food stalls with fresh bread, preserves, cheese and other home-made delights, as well as arts and crafts stalls.
You don't have to travel all the way to the Kruger National Park to see our wildlife. The beautiful Rietvlei Nature Reserve is in close proximity to Irene B&B. The Groenkloof Nature Reserve is a 10 minute drive away, and the Rhino and Lion Park is less than an hour drive. The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and the Sterkfontein Caves are well worth a visit.

Blockbuster Movie Showdown: Release Date Madness
Which studio will blink first?
Next gallery »10 Stories You Might Have Missed: Chris Pratt confirmed for 'Jurassic World'
« Previous gallery'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' character posters
'Think Like a Man Too' vs. 'The Purge 2'
Release date: June 20, 2014
Longview Winner: "Think Like A Man Too"
Longview Loser: "The Purge 2"
Should either film move off the date: "The Purge 2"
Lowdown: This showdown might not last long. Universal Pictures probably just realized how big a star Kevin Hart is after the success of their own Kevin Hart comedy, "Ride Along," this month. Sony Pictures' "Think Like A Man" was Hart's breakout role and the sequel should attract a similar audience to "Ride Along." At the moment, Universal has slotted the quickly thrown together sequel for "The Purge" against it. A sequel to a movie that crashed after a big opening weekend. Whether there is an actual fan base for "The Purge" is a big question mark. More importantly, do you know the number 1 audience for horror movies? Teenage girls. Do you know what the number 2 audience is? Hispanic moviegoers. Do you know what the number 3 audience is? African American moviegoers. Does Universal really think it can steal African Americans away from "Think Like A Man Too"? Something's gotta give and it's probably not Kevin Hart.

My friends say I'm crazy in a good/positive way, but truly am fun loving and full of zest. I'm very gregarious, outspoken, adventurous and spontaneous, vivacious. I have a purely positive outlook on life, and a strong love for life and family.
Some of my hobbies are to include; crafts, cooking, sewing, snorkeling, skateboarding, exercising, camping, and would like to do more hunting/fishing. Some of my interests to add to my hobbies would be pottery, making jewelry, and photography are to name a few.
For our first date I believe it is important for both to feel comfortable, and relaxed. I would perhaps ask you where you like to go with your friends, and go somewhere comparable. That way we would be off to a good start, and begin on a pleasant note.
My date should be; secure with himself, demonstarte the ability to thrive in social situations, have enough energy to keep up with me, honest, be able to cook, articulate, communicator, non-selfish, non-self-centered, man of integrity, humor, adventurous, and to be spontaneous.

What a lovely and delicious creation, Deeba! Those chocolate decorations are breathtaking – you must have such a steady hand.
If that is not art, then what is art? You should seriously open a high end pastry shops! Beautiful, just beautiful.
That's such a pretty cake, I especially like the chocolate shavings around the edge under the strawberries. I used to see quark in Sainsburys here but not lately so I am off to check out that link to see how you make it.

wow!! what a beautiful cake….
Hi Deeba, need help from u!!! I see that you have been using 25% low fat cream in most of your desserts and they seem to work so fantastic. Could u help me understand how you manage to whip it? 25% low fat cream is the only one available in India. I have a tough time whipping it and even if I do, it comes back to dropping stage in no time 🙁 I have tried using gelatine too, it doesn't help either. Could u pls help us on that? If possible, is there any post on your blog on that? Your inputs would be valuable.
Oh, another of your beautiful creations Deeba. I love your styling and photography. Just gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of quark. We use it a lot in Czech Republic.

Your cakes are so artful, little masterpieces in themselves. i love it!
What a beautiful cake. Quark? I really hadn't heard of it and now I know what it is. Thank you for the education. You are gifted.

Enisa to draw up guidelines for data breach notification
European telecoms operators want greater clarity on how to comply with data breach notification (DBN) requirements, says the EU's cyber security agency.

European telecoms operators want greater clarity on how to comply with data breach notification (DBN) requirements, says the EU's cyber security agency.

Although recognising that the DBN requirements have an important role for data protection and privacy, operators are seeking clarifications at both EU and local level on how to comply, according to the European Network and Information Security Agency (Enisa).
The DBN requirement for the electronic communications sector introduced in the review of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) is vital to increase data security in Europe, but there are concerns by telecom operators and the data protection authorities (DPA), Enisa said in its latest report.
The main concerns include risk prioritisation, communication channels, resources, enforcement, reporting delays and content of notifications.
An Enisa survey found that the those in the telecoms sector believe the seriousness of a breach should determine the level of response and that breaches should be categorised according to risk levels to avoid 'notification fatigue'.
Operators want assurances that notification requirements will not harm their brands and DPAs indicated that sanctioning authority enables them to enforce regulations better.
Regulators want short deadlines for reporting breaches, but service providers told Enisa they want to focus their resources on solving the problem. Operators also want to make sure the notification content does not have a negative effect on customer relations, while regulators want all the necessary information.
Enisa said the agency would develop guidelines in 2011 for the technical implementation measures and the procedures for DBN. The agency will also analyse the possibility of extending the general obligation of DBN to other sectors, such as financial, healthcare and small businesses.
These issues will be discussed at a workshop in Brussels on 24 January, Enisa said.

Looking for a Longboard Sailboard

I live on the Gulf of Mexico and our winds are light. I like to wave sail and thought the longer board would serve better. I saw a Kona longboard wave sailor on the east coast last year and have been wanting something similar ever since. The Carve 171 would work if the rocker is surfable. Is it?
I have surfed for 30 years and wind surfed off and on. I just want a board that will allow me to putz around in light air and occasionally surf it when we have waves. Also, while I'm very athletic, I don't want to be restricted to water starting a tiny board. Some of the newer wide boards seem like they would serve will, again provide they had a surfable rocker.
thanks for your input. I'm ready to move on this.
kind regards, Greg

The spectral and dispersive behaviors of anisotropic layered structures forming a one-dimensional polarization-dependent photonic bandgap are discussed. The finite dimension of the structure is taken into account. Interesting field-localization properties are found when the optical axes of layers are not aligned each with each other, i.e., principal axes of layers are rotated with respect to each other. The field-localization behavior is also discussed through a suitable definition of density of modes for the anisotropic layered structure. A discussion about the behavior of the dispersion law for such a finite periodical structure is also presented.

Linux Plumbers Conference: Day 1 Wrap Up
The first day of the Linux Plumbers Conference in Portland, Oregon demonstrated that the primary goal of its organizers is being met: developers who are actively working on individual projects are gathering together to address specific cross-project problems.
In several of today's sessions, the original presentation morphed into an active discussion among developers about various programming problems and their possible solutions.
Today's microconferences covered a range of topics – from audio device drivers to debugging methods and tools – and culminated in a Git tutorial given by Linus Torvalds. Torvalds was surprised that half the people in the room were already using Git. He then discussed the design of the tool, its simplicity and stability, then tailored his prepared presentation to balance simple use for new users with advanced topics for those with more experience.
In addition to the microconferences, the LPC schedule includes evening social events designed to get attendees away from conference rooms and introduce them to Portland at large.

Your Breast Enlargement
The Staiano Clinic is a fully independent clinic specialising in breast enlargement. All of the surgeons are specialists in their field, we have access and experience in using all types of implants and will talk you through the pros and cons of each.
Mr Staiano has been featured in 'The Times' and 'The Mail on Sunday' talking about the designer boob job, which stresses the importance of having access to all available implants to give a couture result rather than being tied to one implant make or manufacturer. We focus on customer service and ethics to give every patient a personal, professional service with the aim to give the best possible result and experience to you.
Breast enlargement is the most commonly requested type of cosmetic breast surgery in the UK. In fact, it is one of the most commonly requested types of plastic surgery full stop! We are now in the age of the 'couture boob job' and it is no longer the case that one size fits all. Nowadays implants for breast enlargement come in a huge range of shapes, sizes and textures. They all come in a variety of projections (which means how far they stick out) from low to moderate to high to extra high and each will give a different look. The coating can be smooth or textured and some are coated in a special polyurethane foam which decreases the risk of needing further surgery in the future. Some breast implants are round and some are teardrop-shaped and there are pros and cons of each type depending on the natural breast shape that you have and the sort of look that you are seeking. You can see examples of our work by clicking on the links below.
This 26 year old lady is shown 7 months following breast enlargement with 295cc low profile implants and has gone from a D cup to an E/F cup.
An unrivalled aftercare service
We offer an unrivalled aftercare service following breast enlargement and will be available to see you as often as you need for as long as you need and will never charge for follow-up appointments.
This means that if you need to go over things again in the clinic prior to your breast enlargement, you are free to come back as often as you like, you will only be charged for the initial consultation.
Furthermore, Mr Staiano offers a free annual follow up for all of his breast enlargement patients and will see you if you have any questions or concerns at any time following your surgery. As well as having an consultant-led follow up package, Mr Staiano enrols all patients in to the Aesthetic Surgery Commitment scheme which will cover the costs for any corrective surgery that may be required in the first 2 years after your surgery.
…the results are amazing, I had totally forgotten how my breasts looked before surgery, well I can honest say that i am sooooooo happy :-), you have done wonders and I would recommend you to everyone.

For Liverpool and their fans, the last 23 years haven't been particularly enjoyable.
Their record of 18 Football League First Division titles and mantle as England's most successful club team has been surpassed and taken by archrivals Manchester United over the past quarter of a century.
The Reds have had to watch on while Sir Alex Ferguson and his Red Devils swept up almost every trophy put before them while having to settle for the FA Cup and League Cup themselves—their only two pieces of silverware in five years.
The decline of the Merseyside club has been stark in recent times and put into brutal clarity at the end of the 2011/12 Premier League season, which Liverpool finished in eighth place.
However, brighter times could lay ahead with the Anfield club currently top of the league and unbeaten, with midfielder Victor Moses claiming his side could at last win the title again this season (Daily Mail).
And the Nigerian loan star could have a point—maybe Liverpool can win the championship for the first time since 1990.
Here, we look at five reasons why.

The more visionary you are, the much more likely you will have the mortgage.
Never make an application for a pay day loan with no the assets or the objective to cover the mortgage back quickly. That's as the loans have high interest charges. You might find yourself indebted should youn't settle the mortgage easily. If you have actually requested credit or even a loan, you'll generally be stated using a credit organization and also have a credit file. For those who have an undesirable credit rating, subsequently creditors, particularly for greater sum such as home loans, will soon be more unlikely to accept your mortgage. Previously you might have defaulted on even or individual cash loans, or a credit card cell phone bills. Many home wallets have extended. Sophy suggests that it's not worsen to be straightforward with kids about this information, but to retain it age appropriate.
By increasing the organic or approved duration of loans, they may be called inexpensive long term payday loans, but they cease to become cheap anymore. All you've got to complete is go to the loan application section of a lending agency's site, fill out the proper execution, send some significant specifications, and watch for your mortgage to be accepted. They'll ship the money you intend to use to your bank account, if the lenders consider you worthy of the mortgage. The web loans give you the solution that you're currently trying to resolve your difficulties. Because they are usually loaned to people who are seeking money to cover the necessities, these loans are high risk loans.

Simply because you'll need quick cash now, it doesn't mean you need to drop your wise practice. Browse through several of the outstanding payday and check around lenders which might be out-there — then you'll run into one which outperforms the rest. Creditors usually put no obligation on the using the money.
They are not correct remedies for others, as these small loans do help with several disaster prices. You will be asked by the online lender to fill a simple e-kind giving your simple details towards the lender like title, age, gender, revenue evidence, work position, contact data, etc. In reality; this might be the spot a company owner with bad credit can go to get working capital. There is no credit check required therefore even though you have a bad credit rating, you'll be able to apply for the loan.

Regional News Briefs
Public Policy Forum hires research director
The Public Policy Forum, a nonpartisan, nonprofit government watchdog organization based in Milwaukee, has hired Virginia Carlson as its new research director. She will assume the role July 8.
Carlson, a former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor and former director of the Metro Chicago Information Center, will replace Anneliese Dickman. Dickman is leaving the organization after 14 years.
At the Public Policy Forum, Carlson will head research on a variety of local and state issues, including workforce and economic development, education, government finance and structure, and others. Most recently the forum released a report finding lower property values but higher taxes in the area.
According to a news release announcing the decision, Carlson has an extensive research background and has consulted nationally for the Brookings Institution and the U.S. Census Bureau.
She received a PhD in political science from Northwestern University, along with a master's degree in urban planning and policy and a bachelor's degree in architectural history, both from the University of Illinois-Chicago.
The Public Policy Forum has operated in Milwaukee since 1913.
Body found on east side belongs to missing man
A body found in an apartment on Milwaukee's lower east side is that of a man who has been missing for two weeks, WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) reported Friday evening.
Glenn Willis, 62, an employee at Kohn Law Firm, was last seen at his job June 14. The circumstances surrounding his death remain a mystery, and an autopsy has been scheduled, the station reported.
Initiative aims to cut thefts, burglaries
In response to a recent spate of motor vehicle thefts and garage burglaries on the city's near south side, Milwaukee Ald. Bob Donovan announced Friday a new crime-prevention initiative, "Operation Harden the Target," set to take effect next week.
The operation, which will apply mainly to the Layton Blvd. West neighborhood, is the latest project to spring from Operation Impact, an initiative aimed at reducing crime on the city's near south side by installing surveillance cameras and hiring additional patrol officers. Donovan said the newest measure has a "grass-roots" feel to it because it involves city residents in the task of warding off crime in their own neighborhood.
Donovan will launch the initiative at a Monday morning news conference in Burnham Park, S. 33rd St. and W. Burnham St.
Operation Harden the Target will have three central features:
■ The "Catch Auto Thieves" program, which targets would-be thieves in the hours of 1 to 5 a.m.
■ "Operation Join the Club," an effort to provide secure locks to neighborhood residents whose vehicles are targeted by thieves.
■ "Operation ID," which asks residents to register their valuables so they can be identified if recovered after a robbery.
Art submissions invited for new East Library
The Milwaukee Public Library put out a call Friday for artists statewide interested in crafting pieces for the library's new east branch, set to be completed in fall 2014.
The library is accepting submissions until July 15, at which point a selection committee will choose six finalists. The last artists standing will submit specific proposals at a public meeting designed to facilitate community input.
The East Library, at 1910 E. North Ave., will be demolished shortly and reconstructed as part of a four-story building with 99 apartments situated above the new, 17,000-square-foot library space.
Brooke VandeBerg, the library's communications and marketing director, said the artwork should be attuned to the history and culture of "the thriving business district that surrounds the East Library" while also taking into account the modern feel of the space.
Two artists will be chosen to design two different pieces for the new library space.
Military Heritage Museum to open
Sheboygan — The Wisconsin Naval Ship Association's Military Heritage Museum and Education Center is opening Saturday in Sheboygan.
While the museum is operated by the Naval Ship Association, it will honor all branches of the military.
Naval Ship Association President Larry Hinkelman said most exhibits and donations came from veterans and their families.
The museum briefly opened last year but closed when its parking lot became a drying station for the Sheboygan River dredging project.
Hinkelman told the Sheboygan Press there will be an official grand opening in August, but the association wanted to have the museum open in time for the Fourth of July.
The museum is free and will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday through July 7. It will be open on weekends after that.
Gun turns out to be fireworks launcher
Dane County sheriff's deputies were called to the Town of Berry on Thursday for a report of a man with a gun, but instead found a man holding a fireworks launcher.
Deputies found James M. Weightman, 32, in the area of 4800 Scherbel Road holding a 37-millimeter gas-charged fireworks launcher, according to a news release issued Friday.
Weightman was cited for possession of fireworks and has to pay a fine of $200.
Trapped kayaker, canoeist rescued
Little known is the danger of a seemingly slow-moving creek.
But as rivers swell due to heavy rainfall, the Walworth County sheriff's office is advising residents to take extra precautions after a kayaker was trapped Wednesday in the White River.
Adriane M. Granlund of Elkhorn lost control of her kayak in a heavy current and wound up pinned up against a large log. Jim M. McKay of Lake Villa, Ill., came across Granlund while canoeing and tried to rescue her only to have his canoe turn over on him.
Both were showing signs of distress — with Granlund, 29, experiencing early-onset hypothermia — when Walworth County sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call and located the victims in the portion of the river situated in the Town of Lyons.
Using throw ropes and flotation devices, they were able to dislodge Granlund and McKay from the log and pull them from the river. Granlund was taken by ambulance to Burlington Memorial Hospital.
Suspect transferred
to Jackson County
No charges have been filed against a 36-year-old man suspected of killing a Black River Falls woman, but he has been transferred to the Jackson County Jail from Milwaukee, where he was arrested.
The Jackson County Chronicle reported that Michael L. Harmon is in jail on a probation hold. Milwaukee police arrested Harmon on June 20.
Harmon is a suspect in the killing of his roommate, Angela Nelson, 34, who was found shot to death June 9 when Black River Falls police were asked to do a welfare check at a residence.
Man sentenced for stealing from league
A former school board president was sentenced Thursday to probation and five days in jail after he admitted stealing more than $10,000 from Sun Prairie Youth Football.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that former Sun Prairie School Board president David Stackhouse, 52, now of Springfield, Pa., received the sentence after pleading guilty to two theft charges in April. He was the president of the youth football organization from 1999 to 2008.
State seizes 70,000 packs of cigarettes
Wisconsin revenue agents have seized 70,000 packs of cigarettes that arrived in the state without tax stamps.
The state's excise tax on a pack of cigarettes is $2.52, and the Wisconsin State Journal reported that the state would have lost more than $175,000 in revenue on the cigarettes.
Revenue officials say the cigarettes came from a company located on the Winnebago reservation in northeastern Nebraska that's owned by Ho-Chunk Inc.
Deputy Revenue Secretary Jack Jablonski says the cigarettes were bound for retailers on Wisconsin reservations or trust lands for the St. Croix Chippewa, Ho-Chunk Nation and Bad River Band.

Reny Monk, Tee-ing Up
|Photo by Larry Hirshowitz
Designer Reny Monk is out to give new life to the fashion cliché that you are what you wear. Monks line, Black Girl Apparel (www.blackgirlapparel.com), is a collection of casual-chic tees, hoodies, yoga pants and underwear emblazoned with ethnic identifiers such as Black Girl, Nuf Said, Black Girl n Lovin It and Booty Girl. Its a tweak on both the T-shirt sloganeering of the 60s and 70s and the acute brand consciousness of the hip-hop era that has turned too many people especially African-Americans into walking ads for Chanel, Gucci, Timberland or FUBU.
Monk, an effervescent New York native and L.A. transplant, plus exGeorgetown University law student, says she also wanted to counter the overt labeling of black women in popular culture as bitches and hos with something not just empowering but fun and easy: I wanted to create something kind of low-key but distinct, like the Juicy Couture Ts the girls on Friends used to wear. She lobbied black network television shows for exposure, and got it Black Girl Apparel started turning up regularly on series such as Bernie Mac, Girlfriends and My Wife and Kids. Monk also custom-makes the same message for Latina and other girls of color, but black pride is clearly what fuels a business she began with $250 and a determination to inject a bit of social justice into fashion.
A 16-year-old black girl with dark skin said to me once, Arent you afraid of offending somebody, wearing that shirt? recalls Monk. I thought, whoa. Were in a new millennium, but we have the same old problems of self-hate. That has to change.

Ben Gleib
Years ago, Esquire called Ben Gleib one of "six comedians who could be comedy's next big thing." The other 5 were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords. It came true for each of them, and it now seems to be Gleib's time. His first hour special, Ben Gleib: Neurotic Gangster, premiered on Showtime in June.
For 7 years he was one of the stars of Chelsea Lately, and now is Host and Executive Producer of "Idiotest," the Emmy nominated comedy game show in its third season on GSN, as their most watched original show. (For Gleib, EP is not just a title. He helps create all of the show's brain puzzles.)
Gleib is also a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, and has made multiple appearances on Comedy Central's @midnight.
A truly unique voice in comedy, Gleib has been a regular on-air contributor to CNN and NPR (where he won a Golden Mic,) is an accomplished voice over actor (The Book of Life, Ice Age: Continental Drift -the second highest grossing animated movie of all-time internationally,) and this year co-anchored a week of ABC News digital from their world news headquarters in New York. An unusual gig for a comedian, another example of why he is one of the most multi-talented comics working today.
Gleib has been headlining comedy clubs around the globe since 2007 and has toured arenas with Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook. His podcast 'Last Week On Earth,' debuted on iTunes Comedy at #9, was #1 on stitcher for 20 straight weeks, and his online videos have received over 20 million views.
Rob Lindo
Rob Lindo hails from Vancouver by way of Jamaica (that's a story for another day). But he also lived in New Jersey and Washington, DC, before relocating to LA in 2008. He has been involved in the LA stand-up community since 2009. Rob has been seen in various national commercials, on Atom TV, Johnny B. Homeless, Comedy Central, Break.com, and Funny or Die.
Rob performs around LA at the Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, and the Pasadena Ice House. He is also a member of the comedy trio The Skinny Dicks. It was with this ridiculous trio that he co-created Skinny Sundays - a comedy show featuring nationally headlining comics and the rising stars of comedy in unfair head-to-head competitions, purely for the enjoyment of the audience. As producer and co-host, Rob was a part of the show's development and eventual transition to its new home on the main stage of the world famous Hollywood Improv.
Joey DePaolo
An east coaster by birth, Joey DePaolo found his beginnings in comedy in New York, writing and directing comedy shorts that were selected for air by NBC, IFC, and even Canada's own BITEtv. Joey made his arrival on the LA comedy scene in 2009 with the comedy trio The Skinny Dicks. It was through the group that he co-created Skinny Sundays, a night of unfair stand-up comedy attracting some of the biggest names and best hidden talents in the stand-up world. As producer and co-host, Joey was a part of the show's blossoming and eventual landing with its new home on the main stage of the world famous Hollywood Improv. Joey performs regularly on both coasts and has been seen on Funny or Die and as a regular in the sketch comedy/variety show Comedy Slice at the Improv Comedy Lab.
Tone Bell
Tone will next be seen starring in NBC's freshman comedy, Good Fortune, produced by Rashida Jones. Prior to Good Fortune, Tone toplined NBC's freshman comedy Truth Be Told, executive produced by Will Packer and DJ Nash. This is in addition to selling an untitled half-hour scripted comedy based on his life to FX, which he co-created, is writing and executive producing, and will star in. Tone also has a recurring role as Scott Evans, the brash editor at Central City Picture News, in The Flash on The CW.

J Chris Newberg
J Chris Newberg is funny. Ask him. He will disagree, but in a way that is probably humorous. He has performed on America's Got Talent, but lost to dancers that sparkle. He has also been on the Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live & Comedy Central. He has toured nationally in arenas with Dane Cook, Internationally in Stadiums with Russell Peters and written songs for American Idol. He is in fact the funniest person that you have never heard of. Yet. Cedric The Entertainer agrees saying, "He has got an odd sense of humor and he is unique in his point of view. His quirkiness and his own kind of demeanor are things that can go a long way in this business. Talented folks will see it, and the industry will see it." J Chris Newberg also writes jokes, a lot of them. Some of your favorite comedians have used his jokes on SNL, Late Night With David Letterman, Chelsea Lately and The Conan O'Brien show. J Chris Newberg recently finished being lead writer on Idiotest for GSN and is currently writing at E! He doesn't ask you to think. He'll do that for you. Just watch and listen and then tweet your friends and pretend you wrote it.

Sarah Tiana
Regular on @Midnight on Comedy Central, regular on Chelsea Lately, regular/writer onThe Josh Wolf Show on CMT, regular at "ignoring red flags." Writer for Jeff Ross and The Burn, Host of the Roast Of Justin Beiber Red Carpet, Host of the CMA's Red Carpet.
These are the things you know about Sarah Tiana.
What you don't know is Sarah Tiana has been a "working" comedian/ex-waitress in Los Angeles since 2003. Originally from Calhoun, GA, Sarah's act emphasizes the thrills of growing up after "The War Of Northern Aggression" and trying to survive in the current battle of the sexes. She doesn't call herself "single," (she's too old for that), she prefers to be called "sexually active."
Sarah's big break came after she was recognized for her "breakout performance" as Carmen in four episodes of Reno 911's 7th season. In 2005, she helped create a sketch comedy company called The Strait Jacket Society as a way to help young actors in Hollywood accelerate their stage time and gain exposure while still having fun (she has currently put over 500 actors through the program).
A downright 'Merican, Sarah has done over 12 tours of comedy for the troops including Germany, Singapore, Afghanistan, Guam, Okinawa, and several Wounded Warrior Facilities. A trip to Iraq at the beginning of the war is highlighted in the documentary film, "We Love You Mrs. Bevins." She has been a correspondent on "The Soup Investigates" as well as "Love You, Mean It" starring Whitney Cummings.
An avid sports fan, Sarah wrote for the ESPY awards and the Rob Riggle NFL segments on FOX. She can be seen at The World Famous Comedy Store, Twitter, and numerous unhealthy relationships in and around Los Angeles. She will never be seen in the three pilots she taped last year or be caught dead in the dress she wore on Craig Ferguson (it no longer fits).

Ben Bailey
Ben Bailey is the host of NBC's "Who's Still Standing?" The unique game show is designed to keep contestants and viewers on their toes by pitting contestants against one another for a series of high-stakes trivia battles.
Bailey is also host of the highly successful show "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel. Bailey has won two Daytime Emmy Awards for "Cash Cab," (for Outstanding Game Show Host), and "Cash Cab" has won three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show.
In addition, Bailey's one-hour special "Road Rage" premiered on Comedy Central.
Bailey got his unlikely start as a standup comedian when he was mistaken for a comic in the green room of The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, where he was hired to answer the phones. The booker, seeing that the other comics in the room could not get enough of Bailey's humor, signed him on the spot. After a few years of performing in Los Angeles, Bailey moved back to New York and for two years, went to "open-mic" nights to hone his craft. Now with over 10 years under his belt as a successful standup, Bailey continues to perform all over New York City and has achieved international acclaim for both the show "Cash Cab" and for his comedy performances all over the world.
He has appeared regularly at comedy festivals over the years and has guest-starred on numerous television comedies and dramas, including NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Hope & Faith," "The Knights of Prosperity", "30 Rock", "Oprah", "The Today Show", and "Mad TV." He also has a recurring role on the daytime drama "One Life to Live" and has appeared in his own "Comedy Central Presents" special. In addition, Bailey also has performed on several of the late-night talk shows, including NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" and "Comedy Central's Premium Blend," among many others.
Bailey is a trained tri-athlete and has competed in the Half-Iron Man competition. He currently resides in New Jersey.

Special Guest
At 18 years of age Lee moved out of his parents' home and took jobs in restaurants and coffee shops in the San Diego area, while also attending Palomar College for a brief period. In 1994 the coffee shop for which he was working closed. "I just went next door to get a job," he said, "which was The Comedy Store in San Diego" (also known as the La Jolla Comedy Store). After a few months of working odd jobs at the club he decided to try stand-up during one of their amateur nights. Within a year of doing regular comedy sets he got offers to open for both Pauly Shore and Carlos Mencia. Lee also went on to work regularly at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, a comedy club owned by Pauly Shore's mother Mitzi.
Lee has admitted in several interviews that his parents had hoped he would continue on with the family business and were less-than supportive of his comedic pursuits at first. During a podcast interview conducted by fellow actor and comedian Joe Rogan, Lee stated that during the first few years he did stand-up his parents barely spoke to him, however after his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno his father called him and apologized for not supporting his comedy career. Lee's parents currently live in Phoenix, Arizona. Lee is known to have included his family in some of his work: His younger brother has appeared in several non-speaking roles on MADtv and his entire family has appeared in a skit on the show.

Oyster Hotel Review
Pulling in families and deal-seekers with quad bunk beds and great continental breakfasts, this stylish 139-room Spanish boutique (former Hotel QT) is also known for its Wednesday night gay pool party.
Formerly Andre Balazs' Hotel QT, the 139-room Room Mate Grace boutique hotel picks up where the previous inhabitant left off: welcoming budget-minded tourists who want affordable rooms near Times Square and a fun party atmosphere where they can mingle at the 24-hour pool and swim-up bar. Add in an excellent European-style continental breakfast that runs daily and you'd be hard-pressed to get this much from a hotel elsewhere in Times Square, at this low a price.
Reminiscent of a "stylish European hostel" -- according to the New York Times -- the hotel offers a front desk kiosk that doubles as reception desk and gift shop, selling snacks, magazines, and liquor. The smallish rooms feature showers that are just separated from the toilet by a single screen or curtain, and occasionally curtains in lieu of full closet doors. These are not the most luxurious rooms you'll find in Manhattan, but the cute modish decor helps -- as do the big platform beds with Egyptian cotton linens, and the free HBO, Showtime, and Wi-Fi.
The current owners, the Madrid-based Room Mate hotel group, left much of the old Hotel QT's one-of-a-kind design in place when it took over -- and indeed, why would you mess with something as fantastic as a pool in the lobby with Greek amphitheater-style seating and a swim-up bar. Renovations were limited to more minor changes like pool furniture and unabashedly bold wallpaper. Hotel QT's somber gray hallways are now transformed into alternating floors of zebra stripes, Jonathan Adler gold-and-orange prints, and gold-flecked disco ball subtlety.
Of course, the hotel's name needs some explaining. Every Room Mate hotel carries the name of an imaginary person -- in this case, "Grace." Grace, the blond international concert performer shown on the hotel's website, is supposed to embody a New York friend that welcomes you to stay at her place. But Grace should really have been a glam drag queen or a fit dude who can do justice to a Speedo because the Room Mate Grace's big event every week is Drip, a packed gay pool party held every Wednesday night at the lobby pool, where a sea of drag queens and buff gay guys squeeze into a four-foot-deep pool with oversize rubber duckies -- security guards need to man the sauna and steam room. It's one of the best hotel parties in New York -- but if you're looking for a little peace and quiet, avoid this place on Wednesday, or at least request a room on the 4th floor or higher.
Bare bones -- what you'd expect for the low price.
Room Mate Grace, much like a European hostel, is a self-service affair.
- Laundry service and wake-up calls
- No room service -- every room's hotel directory comes with a stack of delivery menus from area restaurants
- No lifeguard at the pool
- Front-desk clerk sits behind a kiosk and also sells snacks, newspapers, and toiletries.
- No concierge; the kiosk salesperson/hotel receptionist also doubles as de facto concierge, offering suggestions on places to eat and drink, and can also organize babysitting services.
Half-block from Times Square attractions, but on a quieter side street so you can get some sleep
Located on West 45th Street, Room Mate Grace is just a half-block away from the heart of Times Square, but it's not so close that guests can't get a decent night's rest. Though once seedy, Times Square was reborn in the mid-'90s as a commercialized tourist haven, lit by 24-hour flashing billboards and theme restaurants like ESPN Zone and Bubba Gump Shrimp. Today, visitors walking the streets are more likely to be accosted by a comedy-club promoter, a rickshaw bicycle operator, or a caricature artist than a mugger. (It also helps that there's a huge police station smack in the center of Times Square.) It's crowded, but there's something unquestionably exhilarating -- and convenient -- about staying in the neon-lit heart of the city. Plus, the mayor recently decided to close off much of Broadway to traffic, making it even more pedestrian-friendly.
Nearby Hotels
Small, but with comfy beds and free HBO and Wi-Fi
While the standard "Petite" room is tiny, the toiletries are cloyingly scented, and the bathrooms are eerily reminiscent of a youth hostel, the space-maximizing rooms with bunk beds -- similar to those at the style-on-a-budget Pod Hotel -- are a great way for families or groups to save some cash.
- Petite rooms (190 square feet) are small, even for a NYC hotel room. Some don't even have closets; just a few hangers on a bathroom hook.
- Standard rooms (220 square feet ) come with a single queen bed, two twins (to sleep two), or two bunk beds (to sleep up to four, with individual TVs for each bed -- also called Quad Bunks)
- Deluxe rooms (255 square feet) come with a single king, or a single bunk suspended above a king-size bed (to sleep up to three, also called King Bunks)
- Comfy beds, well above standards in this price range -- 100-percent Egyptian cotton sheets; pillowtop mattress; four down pillows
- Blackout shades shield rooms from the neon lights.
- 23-inch Phillips flat-screen HDTV (small for a normal hotel room, but just fine in a tiny Petite room); DVD player; 53 channels plus free HBO and Showtime
- Free Wi-Fi
- iHome iPod docking clock radio
- Empty mini-fridges (to stock with snacks and drinks from the downstairs kiosk)
- Serviceable, but minimal, bathrooms (especially in the cheaper rooms) -- my Petite just had a toilet on one end, and a rainfall showerhead and drain on the other -- you just draw the curtain when showering
- Two green apples served as part snack, part color compliment to the adorably packaged toiletries with a SweeTart scent -- I felt like I was rubbing Sour Patch Kids into my hair.
Rooms and Rates
More for your money, from a 24-hour pool to free Wi-Fi
- Four-foot-deep, 24-hour pool with club lights and a pricey swim-up bar ($16 lychee martini) -- but it's the only swim-up bar in the city
- Popular Wednesday night gay pool party, Drip; other parties from time to time on Thursday and Friday nights
- Free sauna and steam room
- Small 24-hour gym -- just two Precor exercise bikes and a weight bench, some old weights, two exercise balls and a few mats. Its red-tinted window casts a red glow in the room, so it feels like you're working out in a placenta.
- Free Wi-Fi throughout hotel
- Two Internet stations with Dell computers near the front desk
With an excellent continental breakfasts and affordable rooms that sleep four, there's much to recommend here for families.
- Four-foot-deep pool in the lobby
- Quad Bunk room has two bunk beds and sleeps four; King Bunk has a king bed and a twin-size loft bed above it and sleeps three.
- No on-site restaurant; kid-friendly food options abound within a few-block radius.
- Free cribs
Pets allowed, but a weight limit and deposit apply
Pets are allowed, but there is a weight limit and one-time deposit.
Overall, very clean hotel.
The pool looked murky, but not so bad that people wouldn't swim in it; given the swim-up bar, plenty of drinks get spilled in there.
No restaurant, but the European-style continental breakfast buffet is one of the best in the city
- Breakfast every morning, for a charge
- No on-site restaurant
- No room service; room directories include a stack of delivery menus from solid area restaurants like Virgil's BBQ and John's Pizzeria.
