Earlier this year, the cast of "Dallas" met the Television Critics Association. Tonight, the long awaited reboot finally premieres on TNT. It features a new young cast but also the original Ewings, so TV legend Larry Hagman was there to talk about JR.
Sitting on stage, Hagman could have held court all day with witty one liners and insightful anecdotes about his TV legacy, which continues as he plays JR Ewing one more time.
CraveOnline: Did you always know that one day you'd play JR again?
Larry Hagman: Yeah. Yeah, I knew. I thought they might do a parody on it.
CraveOnline: As you followed the news in the industry, have you wondered what a guy like JR would do in a world of alternative fuels?
Larry Hagman: Well, if they made money, he'd do it.
CraveOnline: What keeps you going at age 80?
Larry Hagman: Oh, experience. Knowing when to rest and use your energy.
CraveOnline: Are you working 10 hour days or more?
Larry Hagman: No, no, they're very good to me. I only work either in the morning or the afternoon. I'm not one of those 10 hour guys.
CraveOnline: Why do you think the new incarnation of "Dallas" will appeal to audience who never watched the original?
Larry Hagman: Well, we have a younger group of people here too who are their age. And these are not young actors with no experience. These kids are well trained. They know what they're doing and they're all gorgeous.
CraveOnline: How do you like where we find JR in the pilot, sitting in the chair and quiet?
Larry Hagman: It was an easy pilot to make, that's for sure. I liked it. I thought it was kind of fun.
CraveOnline: Do you feel JR has been sitting in wait all these years waiting to strike?
Larry Hagman: Well, you've got to know why he was there in the first place, and I ain't telling you.
CraveOnline: Was it fairly easy to step back into the character?
Larry Hagman: Like an old pair of slippers.
CraveOnline: Have you ever thought about retiring?
Larry Hagman: God, if I make it another 10 years I'll be 90 f***in' years old!
CraveOnline: Can you see yourself still doing this at 90?
Larry Hagman: Hell yes I do!
CraveOnline: Is the time right for another big corporate villain, and is JR the perfect guy? Are people angry at the rich corporate people?
Larry Hagman: I don't know, they seem to be bamboozled by the rich corporations. He's a wild card. He's not one of these corporations. He's a guy who goes out and does it himself. He'll use corporations and so forth but he's not a big corporation.
CraveOnline: What do you think had made JR a hero to some people?
Larry Hagman: You know, everybody's got a jerk like this in their family. A father, a brother, an uncle or a cousin or something. Everybody's got that. That's what makes him so appealing. They can hate him. They know who he is.
CraveOnline: Has JR finally met his match in this new generation?
Larry Hagman: We shall see.
CraveOnline: When you were making the original "Dallas," did you understand you were making something people would still be fascinated by decades later?
Larry Hagman: How could you possibly? Prescience. You couldn't. There's no way of knowing how big it was and still is. If you think it's big in America, you ought to go to Europe. My God, in Germany and France, you know they banned us in France for a year and they almost had a change in government for God's sake.
CraveOnline: Why did they ban it?
Larry Hagman: Because they thought it wasn't representative of whatever they thought. You know the French, for God's sakes. Who knows?
CraveOnline: What was your favorite memory of when the show was at its most popular?
Larry Hagman: Being the king. Being king is nice. And Ms. Gray was the queen. We were living like stars in the '20s. You'd get a good seat in a restaurant. That's an old one but you could get a good seat anywhere. And still can too.
CraveOnline: How has the city of Dallas changed since you were last working there?
Larry Hagman: You wouldn't know there's a recession going on. They're building more buildings and it's going up like crazy, they're just flourishing down there. At least what I can see, I'm sure that a lot of poor people think there're not a lot of jobs but what I can see is affluence.
CraveOnline: Have you met a lot of the locals working on the production now?
Larry Hagman: Well, a lot of them are guys who worked on it before. That's where it's fun coming back into the family. And their grandfathers, the grips and the cameramen and stuff like that are all old farts like me. It's wonderful.
CraveOnline: Do you remember hosting the press at your house?
Larry Hagman: Yes, I have a very vivid memory of that. What happened was they sold 2000 seats and some people bid $1000 for those seats and they were supposed to be specifically for them. Somebody left the gates open and 3000 people more came.
We had 5000 people there and the people who didn't pay $1000 were sitting in those seats and wouldn't get up. I think there's still a lawsuit going on someplace. I was just a hired hand. I didn't have anything to do with that. We were having a good time. We didn't know that was happening. We knew that the crowd was a little unruly to say the least but we didn't know that they paid significantly.
CraveOnline: Are you on a new Vegan diet to help with your medical situations?
Larry Hagman: Yes. When I was diagnosed with what I got, Ms. Gray said, "Well, you've got to be a Vegan now." I said, "Are you kidding?" She says, "No, it'll help you. It'll get you off all those steroids with meats and turkey and chicken and beef and stuff and it'll cleanse your body." So she got me a chef down there named Nancy Addison who knows more about Vegan diets than anybody in the world I've ever met.
She's about 5'2", long gorgeous blonde hair, and she talks like that [so soft] I can't understand a f***ing word she's saying. And she knows, so she put me on this diet. I drink these diet things and they're kale and spinach and cucumber and no onions or garlic or anything like that, and that's all I've been on for four months.
CraveOnline: Does it make you feel good?
Larry Hagman: Yeah, it makes me feel great.
CraveOnline: I didn't think they had Vegans in Texas.
Larry Hagman: Oh, it's much more sophisticated than 25 years ago.
CraveOnline: Would JR ever go Vegan?
Larry Hagman: If there was money in it, yeah.
CraveOnline: What do you think about Josh Henderson playing your son?
Larry Hagman: Oh, he's a wonderful kid. He's really great. I had no idea who they were going to pick, and you know both those boys got muscles. You can't believe it. They had eight packs if there is such a thing. Not only that, they're really good to work with. They're experienced. We don't have to train 'em. They're just great.
CraveOnline: Do you still observe silent Fridays?
Larry Hagman: Usually Saturday or Sunday. It wasn't a religious thing. I don't. I should because I talk too damn much. You know, as you get older, your vocal chords [get strained.] Why I did it was because I was doing "Jeannie" and on the weekends I would have fun and party and all that.
Then one time I was working on a trampoline in a rodeo scene. There was a lot of dust and horse sh*t and stuff like that and I got it in my throat. I woke up Saturday, couldn't talk. Went to the doctor, he says, "Just do that. Don't talk." So for that weekend I didn't talk and I liked it so much, I did it for 20 years, because you get a lot of attention that way.
CraveOnline: By not talking?
Larry Hagman: Yeah, people are wondering what the hell you're saying so you have to kind of mime and they're brought into your bubble. It's a great way of getting attention.
CraveOnline: We're glad you didn't do it today.
Larry Hagman: You know, I've done it on a day like this. I did it in Europe once. I'll never do that again.
CraveOnline: How welcome was the role of JR when it first came along? Were you starving for a part that juicy?
Larry Hagman: Oh, I didn't realize it was going to be that, I mean who could realize it'd be that good but yes, I was out of work at the time. I got two scripts. One was "The Waverly Wonders" which was a half hour comedy which I thought that they probably wanted me for. I'd done comedy. Then my wife took the script into the other room and after five minutes she said, "Larry, this is it. Hands down. There's not one redeeming character in the whole show." At that time there wasn't, then it all filtered down to me.
CraveOnline: What were you doing in between acting jobs?
Larry Hagman: I worked. I did movies and I did television.
CraveOnline: Do you have another great passion when you're not acting?
Larry Hagman: Playing Frisbee. Good as any. Well, I motorcycle, I hunt, fish, I do all that. I keep busy. I'm never bored. I've never been bored.
CraveOnline: When the role came back this time, was there any hesitation?
Larry Hagman: I said there's only one thing I need, Patrick and Linda. They said, "Okay, you've got 'em."
CraveOnline: Do you feel like a kid again now that you're all back to work?
Larry Hagman: I always feel like a kid again.
CraveOnline: Is there a new shade to JR that you're playing now?
Larry Hagman: Well, I'm old. I'm playing my age. It slows you down a little bit but I'm still as mean as always. Maybe a little meaner because I've got more experience at it.
CraveOnline: Could anybody have played JR besides you?
Larry Hagman: They were talking about John Travolta when they were going to do a film of it. He would be great. He's a wonderful actor. I did a show with him, Primary Colors. He was wonderful to work with. He could play the hell out of this character, but I'm better at it.
CraveOnline: Do you think there could have been a new "Dallas" without bringing the original Ewings back?
Larry Hagman: I'll bring that up with them later. We'll see where there successes are.
CraveOnline: If this works out, will there be an "I Dream of Jeannie" remake in your future?
Larry Hagman: Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea. It could be fun.
CraveOnline: Was that show fun for you too?
Larry Hagman: Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals. I had a good time doing it of course but it was my first big television show and I didn't know how big it was going to be. I think 46 years, can you imagine? Half of you are not that age for God's sake.
CraveOnline: Who approaches you more today, "Dallas" fans or "Jeannie" fans?
Larry Hagman: It's kind of odd. The older group, both. The younger group, "Jeannie"'s still on but they don't look at me and say, "Oh, Major Nelson." They don't recognize me as that. Some people do but the kids don't. But they still watch it. It's all over the world.
CraveOnline: Actors always say they can't judge their characters. Do you look at JR as a villain or do you think he's misunderstood?
Larry Hagman: Well, I think he's a monomaniac. It's me, me, me all the time and he uses people. He's a user. He's a Iago.
CraveOnline: When you were working with Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes, what do you remember about them?
Larry Hagman: One of the main things I took to heart was they said, "Oh, Barbara Bel Geddes will be playing your mother," I said, "I'll do it." I figured if they had her, they had quality and they were going for a different thing.
CraveOnline: Did you learn anything about playing an older person from them?
Larry Hagman: Yeah, that you have infirmities. Barbara had a couple heart attacks during that period of time. You know, as you get older you pick up all the things old people do.
CraveOnline: When you had your health scare, did it make you sit back, re-evaluate, take stock?
Larry Hagman: Well, it made you appreciate life. Take it easy, forget it, don't get too involved with the future. This was when I was 65.
CraveOnline: What about the recent one?
Larry Hagman: Oh, now is a piece of cake. God dammit, when I had a liver transplant that was heavy duty.
CraveOnline: What would you say to fans of the original "Dallas" who are feeling hesitant?
Larry Hagman: Well, they've asked us not to give away too much because it is introducing five new main characters. So I'm just going to skim over that and say I'm having a good time and I like who I'm working with. I'm not going to get involved in minutiae.

Here's a picture from the newly opened Goat Mountain Pizza in Bellingham. The place is tasty and has decent beer, though it's a little odd.
The weirdest bit is, during the day they sell pizza by weight. There are three blocks of uncooked pizza of different types. You pick the kind you want and the guy behind the counter scissors off a square and weighs it and then cooks it.
Goat Mountain is right by the Dem campaign headquarters and also a local liberal interest. By chance, I noticed Lauren, the campaign campaign manager of Matt Krogh, who is running against my landlord, Republican state rep Vince Buys, and waved to her.
This was the second of two new restaurants your diarist visited today — so far. The first was Cassoulet near Lynden, which was way too Portland to be that far north county. Yours truly and guest didn't have to experience the "community seating" policy owing to the fact that we were the only customers in there.
Both trips were part of my goal to eat at all the restaurants in Whatcom County that I had not yet visited by year's end. Progress never tasted so good.

A Boston cooler is typically composed of ginger ale and vanilla ice cream. Variations abound, however, with club soda, sherbet, rum, vanilla vodka, milk, sugar, or even coffee sometimes added or substituted for the key ingredients. In Ohio, a root beer float is also referred to as a Boston cooler.[citation needed]
The origin of the Boston cooler lies in Detroit, Michigan, the city in which Fred Sanders is credited with inventing the ice cream soda. The name almost certainly has no connection to Boston, Massachusetts, where the beverage is virtually unknown. One theory is that it was named after Detroit's Boston Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of what was then an upper-class neighborhood a short distance from James Vernor's drugstore.
Lizzieslulu Where was that peanut stand located? I would love to visit them.
Nancypalooza JDA--do you know why it's called a Boston Cooler if it's appropriately made with Vernor's? Or does Vernor's region include the east coast?

Brad Keselowski Focused Headed Into Talladega
ABC Digital
National Sports
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — The race for the Sprint Cup championship will be headed to Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in the fourth stop of the chase.
Brad Keselowski won last weekend's race at Dover International Speedway and enters the weekend atop the points lead, five points ahead of the five-time Sprint Cup champion, Jimmie Johnson.
"It's easy for me not to get too high emotionally knowing that there are still seven races left," Keselowski said when asked his thoughts of possibly winning the championship. "We're not even a third of the way through this. That's a long ways to go."
Keselowski has won two races at Talladega and is more concerned about avoiding crashes at the Talladega track with the restrictor-plate races on hand this weekend.
"I guarantee you that everybody that runs in the back at Talladega is running around going, 'Man I hope (the drivers ahead) wreck,"' Keselowski said on Tuesday. "That's what they're thinking. It's really mean spirited in the back. But that's what you're thinking the whole time."
Defending Sprint Cup champion, Tony Stewart sits in fifth, 32 points behind Keselowski and has one win at Talladega.
"You can race your guts out for 188 laps and not accomplish anything," Stewart said of all the crashes that occur at Talladega. "Guys are smart to either try to position themselves in the front of the field and, hopefully, try to stay ahead of when that big wreck happens or they take the cautious approach because it really doesn't matter what you do those first 180 laps, you aren't going to drive away from the field."

Valverde: Valencia must attack PSG
Valencia coach Ernesto Valverde says his side have no choice but to attack in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg at Paris Saint-Germain.
Los Che looked to surely be heading out of the competition when 2-0 behind to the big-spending Ligue 1 outfit during last month's first leg at Mestalla, but a late Adil Rami header and then a red card for PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave Valverde's side some hope of a turnaround.
Even still the Primera Division side still need to score at the Parc des Princes at least twice to progress to the quarter-final, leading Valverde to tell Tuesday afternoon's pre-game press conference in Paris that he would send his players out to attack, without forgetting that PSG had shown their danger on the counter-attack during the first leg.
"We must score," he said. "We must know how to swim and look after our clothes but... we have to score. We know that PSG are very powerful on the counter-attack, and they made us pay very dearly in Valencia. We had the ball, we looked to attack, possession was ours, but the chances were theirs. We want possession that translates into chances, knowing that their counter-attack is dangerous, even without Ibra."
Valencia have not lost any of their last eight visits to France, a run stretching back to 1979-80, but PSG are unbeaten in 22 European home games, and have won their last seven European matches at the Parc des Princes.
Valverde said neither history nor PSG's position as heavy pre-game favourites would influence the outcome of the game.
"There is nothing written yet about tomorrow's game, we must write the story," he said. "We want to stay in the competition. We are not worried who is the favourite, the game is there to be played. Regardless of their advantage. We have a chance to make the next round and we will chase that right until the end."
Keeping a clean sheet may be a more serious issue for Valencia, with both Rami and his regular centre-half partner Jorge Costa unavailable through injury.
Either Jeremy Mathieu or Antonio Baragan - both full-backs by trade - or midfielder David Albelda will fill in alongside Victor Ruiz in the middle of the Los Che back four, Valverde said.
"I liked how [Mathieu] played there the other day [against Levante]," he said. "He is quick, good in the air, and brings the ball out well. There are other options too, like Albelda or Barragan. Mathieu has just recovered from a long-term injury, we will see how he is."

Anime BlvdSince 2015
- 21 отз.
- 72%Good service but bad packaging
2 месяца назад - rumblethumpsCheckout was fast and easy, the figure I wanted was a great price, and shipping was really fast.
But when the package arrived, the box it shipped in wasn't taped all the way (only one loose strip of tape across the top and bottom). When I opened it, it looked like someone had set something heavy down on the figure's box, so the front of it was caved in and dented. The figure itself is fine and undamaged, but I'm a perfectionist about my figures' boxes. I'm not sure if this was the fault of Anime Blvd themselves or the post office, but either way I wasn't happy with that at all.
Ответ от Anime BlvdHi rumblthumps! Apologies for the damaged and dent packing, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com! We are always very careful with shipping and we are also perfectionist too! We always take care of the customer. Send us some pictures and I can talk to the right people to make you a happy customer!

The team is going to work extra hard to improve these areas! Thank you again!

4 месяца назад (Обновлено 4 месяца назад) - MareemConsidering this is the first time I bought from them, i didn't have any problem except that they took quite a long time to ship my order. Still the order arrived in 3 days after it was shipped. It's nice that they're offering free shipping within the US. I'll consider buying from them again if they have the items I want on sale
Ответ от Anime BlvdHi Mareem! Thanks for the review! We always try to ship out as fast as possible, sometimes we get delays, apologies for the wait. Hope we can make it up next time!
- 100%My main website to buy figures
4 месяца назад - AkatsukiwannabeMy first order from Anime Blvd was a Naruto Nendoroid on pre order. He was also my first figure to order ever! I love that this website lets you hold off on paying until orders are ready to ship, instead of immediately. I have several orders on pay reserve! It makes me feel like I'm not blowing my money at once. Their Naruto collection is the biggest I've seen from an American online store. Their prices are pretty spot on and cheaper than Japan based sites! Overall this is my favorite website to order figures. When items are in stock, they arrive as soon as the week I order them.
Ответ от Anime BlvdKoodos! Thanks for the review Akatsukiwannabe, glad to be of service. We have many payment options and try to be competitive as possible!

Bruising and swelling 6 months after Radiesse under eyes

- Last updated: 7 years ago
I had radiesse uner eyes 6 months ago, still swollen, bruised, and itchy! Bio Form will not help, or answer any questions. So, does anybody have any solutions? I look like I have been punched in the eyes, and I feel this has really taken its toll on me. I have become depressed and withdrawn. Also, I have tried various creams, supplements, message, etc. There isn't even a concealer heavy enough to cover it.

Taste-of-ALL celebrates 30 years of tastes for all
festivallcharleston.comCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Candy Factory's owners represent the last man and woman standing as Taste-of-ALL Charleston celebrates its 30th anniversary Sunday. Mike and Georgia Howard sold their sweet treats at the first Taste in 1982, then the Taste of Charleston, and have been at it ever since. They return this year as the only original vendors.He remembers a rocky start. Fourteen vendors set up under tents on the Charleston National Bank Plaza for the inaugural culinary event, which was held on a Wednesday night during the now defunct Charleston Sternwheel Regatta. "A big storm came up and blew the tents all over. We took all our stuff and quickly moved into the Civic Center," he said. "It was pretty chaotic."The crowd, estimated at between 4,000 and 6,000, followed the vendors into the Civic Center, which was set up with table seating for about 100. Tickets were 25 cents each and no items cost more than $2. Most restaurants sold out of food in less than an hour.Many of the vendors at the first Taste, such as Ray's Deli, Brick Oven, Ernie's Esquire, China Imperial and PJ's Number Eight, no longer exist.The Taste grew to a two-day event with 25 restaurants in 1984 and kicked off the Sternwheel Regatta. In 1992, organizers offered a special Winterfest version in February, which was not deemed a success because of low attendance. A second Taste was held during the normal Regatta time period.The event was timed to coincide with the opening weekend of the Sternwheel Regatta until the 10-day regatta was cut to five days in 2000. The Taste moved to Labor Day weekend. When city officials cancelled the Sternwheel Regatta in 2009, Taste organizers couldn't find a home for the event, which wasn't held that year. In 2010, it was revived as Taste-of-ALL Charleston, a one-day FestivALL event."When the Taste was a two-day event, we had 14,000 people attend," said Emily Wall, chairwoman of Taste-of-ALL. "As a one-day event, we have between 5,000 to 5,500."Awards and judging were added in 1988, including People's Choice awards for appetizer, entrée and dessert. Chocolate Suicide dessert created by the former River's Edge restaurant in St. Albans has received the most dessert awards through the years. Best of Crete received the most awards in general and Main Kwong has the highest number of ticket sales.In celebration of the 30th anniversary, organizers will run a slide show of photographs of past Tastes. They will bring back popular events such as swing and ballroom dance competitions and have added a cake contest."The cake contest started as birthday cake contest in celebration of the 30th birthday," Wall said. Contest entries must be made-from-scratch cakes with homemade icing and will be judged on taste and decorations. Entries should be dropped off in the Grand Hall between 11 a.m. and noon Sunday.Vendors participating this year are Adelphia Sports Bar & Grill, Charleston Marriott Whitewater Grille, Cheerful Heart Catering, Da Sweeterie, Distinctive Gourmet, Ellen's Homemade Ice Cream, Embassy Suites -- Athletic Club, Fireside Grill, Generation St. George, Huntington Prime Penthouse and Piano Bar, Italian Grille, Joey's Ice Cream Trucks, Kawayan RestoBar, Lil' Husky's of Cross Lanes, Little India, Main Kwong, Mama Rosa's, Mayberry Restaurant, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Ridge View BBQ, Risin' Dough Bakery, Riswanto Organic-to-Go, Savage Sweets, The Candy Factory, The Daily Cup and Zul's Frozen Lemonade. New vendors are Generation St. George, which will sell Mediterranean platters of kabobs, hummus and salad, Italian Grille in Teays Valley offering a pasta bar, Kawayan RestoBar's Filipino/Asian fusion entrees, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Savage Sweets' cupcakes and truffles, Joey's Ice Cream Trucks shaved ice, Cheerful Heart Catering and Riswanto Organic-To-Go with gluten free, vegetarian offerings.Prices range from $4 for entrees such as crab cake, braised short rib or salmon, pulled pork tacos sliders, walleye with potato latke, chicken tikka masala, pasta bar and Mediterranean platters to 50-cent side dishes such as baked beans, mac and cheese, dinner rolls and cookies.Food demonstrations by Ichiban and possibly others are scheduled in the West Virginia room. The West Virginia State University Extension Service will present interactive activities for children including a NASA star lab, take-home agriculture activities, healthy food samples and fun physical activities."We really want this to be a family event with something for everyone," said Wall.Taste-of-ALL Charleston, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 17 at Charleston Civic Center's Grand Hall.

Stanger - A police officer was arrested in KwaDukuza, near Stanger, on Monday in connection with the murder of two officers, KwaZulu-Natal police said.
The Hawks in the province made the arrest after piecing together evidence from the scene, Colonel Jay Naicker said.
The 53-year-old officer was expected to appear in the KwaDukuza Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Two police officers were shot and killed by three men in KwaDukuza on Saturday. Four officers stopped at the side of the R74 to investigate a red car, when three men emerged from the bush and shot the constable and student constable sitting in the front of the police vehicle. They were shot in the head.
One of the men got into the police vehicle and wrestled with the third officer for his firearm, said Naicker. The other officer, seated in the back, drew his firearm and shot at the men, who fled into the bushes.
Provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Mmamonnye Ngobeni on Monday expressed disappointed that a police officer had allegedly been involved in the killings.
"We will ensure that he gets no favours from the SAPS and faces the full might of the law...," Ngobeni said.

I made the surfer and surfboard out of fondant and wrote his name and age on it, seashells and totem are white chocolate. Bottom cake is vanilla with nila crumbs to look like sand and top is chocolate, everything is frosted with PP ( I put a piece of foil between the PP and fondant surfboard, it work very well) :)

Nikolay Levnikov replaces Iouri Baskakov in UEFA Referee Committee
9 Comments:
Interesting change, I would like to know reasons...ReplyDelete
Proenca with very hard match:
- excellent onside by Andre Campos prior to 1-0 goal,
- incident from 89': Marcal didn't want to give Cardoso a ball hiding it by his body and legs, then Cardos kicked him deliberately (analogical situation to Swansea-Chelsea match) - Proenca correctly sent-off Cardoso and issued second yellow/red card to Marcal... Proenca was hitted by a bottle full of juice thrown from the crown in the head/neck... Cardoso catched Proenca and pulled him strongly in own direction...
- Matic red carded for deliberate elbow-offence in 90+5'
Again, Benfica player should be charged for misconduct towards match official... After Luisao's punch, Cardoso is next. It was 'only' pulling but still unacceptable behaviour... I'm stunned that professional player is able to behave in such manner.Replies
here, the video:Delete
- Anonymous10/2/13 22:57
In December 2012, Baskakov was excluded from Russian Football Union referee committee (Nikolai Ivanov took his place). Thereby the substitution in UEFA referee committee seems reasonable.ReplyDelete
Admin, I read today on the newspaper that Manuel Graefe has been highly criticized for having sent off Lewandowski. It seems that he was forced to show the card by Van der Vart, who made strong complaints... now all Borussia fans are angry. Is that true?ReplyDeleteReplies
That's shenanigans. Even every commentary I heard called the decision correct. Even Borussia Dortmund's coach Klopp, who normally is the first one to criticize such a call, accepted it. And regarding the replays and specially the situation in full pace, I do not know where doubts should come from.Delete
Gräfe also booked van der Vaart for having provoked the riots, that was good. He could have issued another sending-off, there was a tight duel after Hamburg's red card, again the question was dogso yes or no, but he did not even whistle a free-kick. That was a borderline situation.
Overall, a challenging match and a good or even very good performance, 8.4 - 8.6 or so.
Go to 36:20 in this video (video minutes, not match minutes):Delete
The officiating team was by the way:Delete
Referee Manuel Gräfe, Assistants Markus Häcker, Harm Osmers, 4th Official Christoph Bornhorst
I was impressed by the video, after the riot Graefe and his assistants had a long conversation in the middle of the pitch and all the players were waiting, I cannot imagine a scene like this in Italy, players are not accustomed to be so patient and wait, referees always take their decisions immediatly after a riot, otherwise they are surrounded by players of both teams and they can't think or reason in a calm way.ReplyDelete
And during the riot Graefe was far away observing everything, here in Italy if a referee acts in this way, the riot never comes to an end.Replies
That's his biggest strength, staying calm and maintaining control even in extreme conflicts..but he should have booked Dortmund's #5, too (Kehl).Delete

Becky Beacom, manager of health education for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and a former Safe Ride volunteer, said she would be willing to host a meeting of parties interested in brainstorming about other possible programs to address teen drinking and driving.
The Red Cross Silicon Valley, sponsor of the 27-year-old program, announced last week it will discontinue Safe Ride Sept. 5 due to lack of funding and dwindling volunteer power.
The program was launched in 1984 after a 17-year-old Palo Alto student's death in a drunk-driving-related accident the previous year.
It used adult and student volunteers to field requests and provide free, confidential rides to teens who called in between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights during the school year. Teens could call in for any reason, including wanting to avoid getting into a car with someone who had been drinking.
But organizers said they had had trouble filling Safe Ride volunteer shifts in recent years. Last year the program provided about 200 rides, down from more than 600 in 2007-08.
"It remains our hope to transfer responsibility to another agency whose mission more closely aligns with Safe Ride," Barb Larkin, CEO of American Red Cross Silicon Valley Chapter, said in announcing closure of the program.
"We are proud to have partnered with teams from nine extraordinary high schools who worked tirelessly to support the Safe Ride program over the last 27 years."
Schools most recently participating in the program were Castilleja, Gunn, Los Altos High School, Menlo School, Summit Preparatory High School, Mountain View High School, Menlo-Atherton High School, Sacred Heart School and Woodside High School.
Larkin said the Red Cross decided to focus its limited resources on its core mission of disaster preparedness and response.
The Safe Ride program was initiated by students from Palo Alto and Gunn high schools after Scott Safreed, 17, was killed May 29, 1983, in an Embarcadero Road accident with a 16-year-old drunk driver.
Beacom said liability and staffing issues would make it difficult to replace Safe Ride as it was but added it is worth a community discussion.
"The Red Cross deserves a huge thank you for having taken this on for so many years," she said.
"I think there's still a lot of goodwill about trying to do something. It's good for teens to know that this exists, that there are alternatives.
"This is a leadership program for students, and it needs staffing, supervision and management."
Beacom said she can be contacted at email@example.com.
Is a service offering rides to teens on Friday and Saturday nights needed? Share your opinion on Town Square, the community discussion forum on Palo Alto Online.

Loose skin can occur anywhere on your body that has seen rapid weight loss, such as your underarms, thighs, butt or stomach. Loose tummy skin can be particularly frustrating if you want to show off your knew physique beachside. While exercise, such as yoga or running, may have helped you lose the weight, it won't help you lose the skin.
When your body carries extra pounds because of weight gain or pregnancy, your skin stretches to cover this added girth. Your skin is naturally stretchy because of elastin, a protein that aids with flexibility and is found in the second layer of your skin, the dermis. When skin is stretched too far or damaged by the sun, smoke or aging, the elasticity is lost and it can no longer contract. Once you lose the fat, there is often excess skin hanging down from the hypodermis layer of your skin beneath the dermis.
While running is a highly effective form of exercise, burning between 370 and 620 calories in just 30 minutes for a 150-pound person, it doesn't do much for your skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise may be able to help the muscle tone you see under your skin, but it can't help skin that has already lost its elasticity. If you have lost more than 100 pounds and have a large amount of hanging skin, the constant pounding of running coupled with gravity may feel like it makes the sagging worse. Fear not; running will not make your loose skin worse, so don't use that as an excuse not to hit the treadmill.
Some yoga practitioners claim yoga can help with skin tone and elasticity, but most doctors are skeptical. Hot yoga is often touted as beneficial for skin because the increased temperatures can help with circulation -- this has also never been proven scientifically. Exercise like yoga has more benefits than tightening skin, so don't stay away from the yoga studio just because it won't make your loose skin vanish. Yoga can build muscle strength and tone, improving the look of your stomach visible through the loose skin.
Other Options
If you have loose stomach skin from drastic weight loss, you do have options. Plastic surgery, specifically a panniculectomy, can remove your extra skin. However, plastic surgery, like any surgery, can be dangerous and there is always a risk of life-threatening complications. If you don't want to go under the knife, eating nutrient-rich foods may also help, as your skin is an organ that needs vitamins and proteins. In fact, your skin is constantly rebuilding itself every 27 days -- give it the right building blocks and some of the elasticity may come back.

Updated from Sept. 2 to include additional information from Morgan Stanley on mobile payments in the eleventh paragraph.
SAN FRANCISCO (TheStreet) -- Apple's (AAPL) surging iPhone sales are a big reason why the Cupertino, Calif.-based company had better-than-expected fiscal-third-quarter earnings and the next iPhone model may be even more important to the future of Apple, particularly with the introduction of a larger phone and mobile payments.
It's widely expected that Apple's next iPhone, which may be called the iPhone 6 or the iPhone Air, will officially go on sale later this month. Last week, Apple sent out press invites to an event on Sept. 9, saying, "We wish we could say more." There's been speculation that Apple would move away from naming the next iPhone using a number, and instead, refer to it as the iPhone Air, following the successful launch of the iPad Air.
As Apple's revenue growth has slowed from the explosive days of the 2000s following the release of the iPod and the iPhone, it's increasingly looking to new products and ways to enhance existing products to boost growth.

There has been renewed investor interest in Apple since its fiscal second-quarter, when it shipped 43.7 million iPhones. That's continued throughout the summer and following its fiscal third quarter as the launch of the next iPhone becomes closer to reality. Since April 23, shares of Apple have gained 29.5%, handily outpacing both the NASDAQ and the S&P 500, which have returned 10.3% and 6.5% over the same time frame, respectively.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- It seems male investors like to give their money to other men -- even when the product is geared toward female consumers. This became clear last month when entrepreneur and co-founder of popular sports website BleacherReport.com Bryan Goldberg caused an uproar when he announced the launch of a female-focused website, Bustle.com. The uproar was not so much caused by his encroachment on the terrain of women-themed sites, but because he claimed he was carving out new territory -- dismissing a slew of existing websites such as Jezebel, The Hairpin and Bust. Adding to the collective ire was Goldberg's bragging at having been granted $6.5 million to launch Bustle, then offering to pay female staffers $100 a day for up to six posts, which translates to $26,000 a year, assuming the gig is full time. (The ads for these positions have been removed from the Web). By comparison, the women's websites already out there -- founded and run mainly by women -- often run on much more modest budgets, having been overlooked by investors despite their popularity. In an open letter to Goldberg, the Bust editors decried that he "was actually able to launch a website, with a spiffy responsive design ... All because some other men gave him $6.5 million." Gatekeepers of Venture Growth: The Role and Participation of Women in the Venture Capital Industry, found that at the turn of the century women represented less than 10% of high-level venture capitalists and had been leaving the industry at twice the rate of men.

Ray Winstone 'saddened' by imminent closure of theatre school
Actor Ray Winstone has said he is "sad and surprised" that a theatre school he attended in the 70s is facing closure.
Corona Theatre School, in Middlesex, was founded in 1948 but has announced it is being forced to shut its doors after losing its main source of philanthropic support.
The school, which has 32 students and which states on its website that it puts "as much emphasis on academic studies as we do on developing every pupil's skills in the performing arts", also counts Nicholas Lyndhurst and Charlie Brooks as former pupils.
It will close on February 24 unless a new investor can be found.
Winstone said: "I'm very sad and surprised to hear that Corona is closing. I spent some time there during the mid 1970s, meeting teachers and pupils who inspired me. Vernon Morris and Bill Happer to name two of the most inspirational teachers."
He added: "It was a theatre school that allowed you to work no film sets while studying. That's where I learnt my trade."
The school's principal, Mary Greco, explained that the school was being forced to close after losing the financial support of a businessman who has subsidised it for the last 18 months.
She explained that he had stepped in to save the school from closure two years ago, when it was based in Kew and was forced to find new premises after being unable to afford the rent on its previous building.
Greco, a former pupil at the school, said the businessman bought the school its current premises in Hampton and has since been supporting it financially, which Corona has relied on to boost money it makes from fees.
However, she said the investor has been forced to stop his subsidy and put the building up for sale, and has said that she would need someone to step in and buy it to give the school a chance of survival.
"We had an investor who came in and saved us and who has subsidised the school for the past 18 months, but he can't do it any more. He has other businesses that are struggling in the climate we're in and he just can't physically supplement us any more," she said.
She added that if the school could be supported until September, when it had been expecting to enrol a number of new students, it would stand a chance of survival.
"But if someone can't help us out for the next six months there is no alternative really," she said.
Corona was founded in 1948 as Corona Stage Academy, before being renamed Ravenscourt Theatre School in 1989 when it was taken over by Robin Phillips. It was re-established as Corona Theatre School in 2009.
The school teaches academic lessons for three days a week and drama, dance and singing for the other two. It also offers weekend classes.

About the Book
What happens when the person who is your family is someone you aren't bound to by blood? What happens when the person you promise to love and to honor for the rest of your life is not your lover, but your best friend? In Truth & Beauty, her frank and startlingly intimate first work of nonfiction, Ann Patchett shines a fresh, revealing light on the world of women's friendships and shows us what it means to stand together.
Ann Patchett and Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writers' Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work was. In her critically acclaimed and hugely successful memoir, Autobiography of a Face, Lucy Grealy wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, the years of chemotherapy and radiation, and then the endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isn't Lucy's life or Ann's life, but the parts of their lives they shared. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long, cold winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this book shows us what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined.
This is a tender, brutal book about loving a person we cannot save. It is about loyalty, and about being lifted up by the sheer effervescence of someone who knew how to live life to the fullest.

Fair points so how about any of the following:

PropertySaleDivas.com or PropertySaleDiva.comJanuary 12, 2013 at 6:28 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #11523
Keeping in mind what you said above and trying to get a catchy phrase I thought of ThisGirlSells.com - thinking this could be a separate site from my branded site using my name. Another choice is ThisGirlSellsProperties.comJanuary 8, 2013 at 12:39 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #10422
None of these are availableJanuary 8, 2013 at 9:14 am in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #10350
I can use the darlenedarragh.com as my branded site and then create a real estate site using one of the domains registered but I guess the question is really YourOakvilleRealtor.com does not have great Seo on it but may be a URL people remember vs some of the other domains that had higher hits based on the keywords as noes in previous replies in this forum.January 6, 2013 at 7:24 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #10004
I have a reseller account with Hostgator that I am currently using. I have registered some .ca but I think I will use the .com for now as our local agents seem to use the .com more.
I did find a domain I think I like for the general - LuxuryOakvilleProperties.com that I may use for the main site and for my branding site I am still a bit torn as any abbreviation to my name are gone so I may use YourOakvilleRealtor.com. I am not sure about pointing my DarleneDarragh.com domain to this - I know you suggested not pointing but Darragh is too hard a last name for many to remember and any domain with Darlene seems taken. What do you think? I don't have an issue building more than one site and linking content back and forth to each site at least until I get known - which you mentioned could take awhile.January 6, 2013 at 1:22 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9964
I think my server is U.S. based so would it help with the .ca and pointing a .com to the .caJanuary 6, 2013 at 1:21 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9963
Thanks so much. Would you suggest then using the .ca and pointing the .com to the .ca - although I think my server is U.S. based so would the .ca still help then.January 6, 2013 at 1:17 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9961This reply has been marked as private.January 6, 2013 at 1:07 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9960
All good points. The domains I noted (especially the 2) and their number of hits were exact hits numbers.
My name is Darlene Darragh and I registered that domain a long while back but abbreviations are gone Darlene.com, Dar.com, DarleneSells.com, DarSells.com. Since my last name is a bit hard to spell I was hoping to abbreviate but I am not sure that is going to work so for my branded site I may have to use my full name. I will develop it and put content on it and link it back to another site using a more search friendly URL. So many are gone already for real estate.
The ones I chose did seem to have according to the Google analytics have what appeared to be a good number of local hits but keeping in mind what you said re: 'in' being a stop word. Good point.
I was also thinking of BestOakvilleAgent.com - what do you think?
Within my posts I will use these keywords to hopefully also rank higherJanuary 6, 2013 at 11:38 am in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9949
Bill I have spent the last few hours doing what you suggested (checking keyword searches) and trying to register domains with many already taken but I did find a few interesting ones still available.
I just registered the following:
The search engine results were interesting. The MLSListingsinOakville keywords has a lot of competition but with 1,000 local hits. MLSOakvilleListings also has 1,000. RealEstateListingsOakville has 720 local hits.
Do you think any of these sound like good generic choices?
DarleneJanuary 6, 2013 at 7:48 am in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9912
Thanks so much for the information Bill. Do you have a tool that you would suggest using to determine if a EMD is more effective than others?
DarleneJanuary 5, 2013 at 9:31 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9859
So I just want to be clear what you may be recommending and yes I am new to real estate but not new to website design and I agree that when first out there most don't know your name.
1. Should I setup a site with a name like realestateagentinoakville - or something like that first
2. Point the domain with my name to it for now or set up another complete site but adding somewhat different content - that latter would not be my preference.
3. I also saw a sign with an agent in our area with his first name only and the word sell which I thought was interesting - so maybe I should consider Darlenesell.com or Darsells.com for the domain with my name.
Many domains with Oakville first were already gone.
If I am not limited to being able to set up more than one site would it be a good idea to set up one with my name as the branding site and one with a real estate type name in it until my name (hopefully) catches on?
DarleneJanuary 5, 2013 at 10:33 am in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9733
Thanks so much for all the comments. So I have a question if I develop a site using my full name using a .com and point a .ca to it (since I am Canadian) and based on what comments I have seen above, I develop a listing site and have registered some domains already for the area I am trying to specialize in (e.g. Oakville) would you consider these good and which is better than the others:
- iloveoakvillehomes
DarleneJanuary 2, 2013 at 9:52 pm in reply to: Search Engine Optimization #9106
So for a real estate site what I think I understand is that it should be ok to build a .com and a .ca pointed site using my name and make that site the brand site but to build a new site with a good domain name relating to real estate for listings and linking on my name site via an icon or menu bar or something to this other listing site. The listing site could also link back to my name site. I assume if I wanted a blog I could thenmaybe make a sub domain if I wanted the layout again to bemore blog related look and link it on name site site. It is not a problem building the sites as I have used some of the studio press themes before I just want to have a good look but not being hurt re search engines.

Clash Royale Deck Builder
After playing with Clash of Clans for years and producing Clash of Clans Builder I desired to proceed to a brand new game that interested me but also had depth. Write your own suggestions in the comments to help you discuss them with other gamers and help other AndroidPIT readers with their Clash Royale gameplay. Cards have a projecting cost linked to them, utilizing the Elixir resource that you may likewise comprehend from Clash of Clans. With a Giant Gold Chest you'll be rewarded in Stadium 4, and it's loaded with gold, cards, stone, and way more upgrades than cards. When this occurs do not keep hoping and trying you will get cards in the order you want.
Learn in this article how to hack Clash royale for unlimited gems.
The Clash Royale hack of supercell is out in Us, and you ought to be playing with it. It's a tactical stressed and intense sport, trade and all. Like any mobile-game, upgrades are pretty critical to success. But this is an RTS too, and also the right amount of cunning can allow you to out-fox competitions that are actually overpowered. I've been playing for a bit, and here are some tips I Have picked up across the way. By no means comprehensive:
Don't Be Afraid To Wait: it's really a a tense moment, looking at a field that is open and waiting for your opponent to attack. If your adversary has some models out there, it is not also more relaxed. You should simply hurry you troopers away to stem the haemorrhage/fill the emptiness, but that is not necessarily the decision that is best. If you are able to a full, combined assault with units that are free is frequently going to be more powerful, so wait for this. If you're in the centre of a fight that you're winning, yet, you could just wish to press it.
Do not Be Afraid To Take Damage: you earn, If the King tower is taken by you. remember that. So perhaps you've got one structure down, along with the opponent's king tower has been transferred to by your troopers. Your opponent is operating on a single of your outer towers. Permit them! That means their soldiers will be far far from their King tower, and it is likely to be tough to them to hit yours as quickly as theirs can be hit on by you. Therefore just take the strike, even lose the tower. Eyes on the prize. Learn how to hack Clash Royale
It is All About Elixir: Clash Royale is some sort of an RTS, and all RTS's are basically resource-based games. The resource in question here is elixir, and you ought to be making a whole lot of your choices based on that crucial notion. Take action in case you can make use of a-4 elixir fireball spell to do 6 elixir worth of damage to enemy troopers. If you are 4 elixir musketeer is merely planning to get trounced by that pekka backed-up by archers, do not set it away. Set it down, if your 5 elixir hut may create over 5 5 elixir worth of goblins. Your adversary is going to possess exactly the same quantity of elixir as you, and thus your problem is always to use that elixir more effectively.
Understand Your Cards: It is the most important factor in the sport, although this one is quite clear. Learn your cards, and place up your deck to get lots of sets of free cards. Use ranged units to backup models that were melee, understand which are better for harmful towers and which units are better against other models, understand which if dropped in the wrong area, models are definitely going to be taken out fast. Begin building a terrace with lots of of pieces that are complimentary, once you start studying all their strengths and weaknesses. Make a couple and perform together.
At sixty seconds, elixir begins to fill twice as fast, and things get a bit hectic. By the end of three minutes, whoever has wins that are more crowns. Then the next crown wins if the two players are tied. Use this to your advantage all. When you begin to see the conclusion of the complement approaching state you are both operating on the structure: in order to snag a supplementary crown before the end, you might want to create a sneak attack on among the towers that are external. There are all sorts of ways to pull a win out, and be conscious of which one makes the most sense in any second that is particular.
Any other suggestions, feel free to share them in the opinions.

I've found the problem. There were two: a scalar array object was not being incref'd when retrieved from a.dtype. Also, and more relevevant to this issue was that .put for OBJECT arrays was not holding on to a reference to the objects placed in the array (nor was it DECREF'ing the current contents). This bug is in Numeric as well, but was never discovered -- the put and putmask code came directly from Numeric. -Travis

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When a smaller company takes over a larger company the synergies can be exponential.That's exactly what I'm anticipating when IntercontinentalExchange ( ICE) completes its acquisition of NYSE Euronext ( NYX) sometime in the second half of this year. Earlier Tuesday, NYX reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analyst estimates after the company cut costs. Net income fell 75% to $28 million from $110 million a year earlier, the New York-based company said in a statement. Yet, these results don't really matter as they normally would. That's because the price of NYX shares are tied to ICE, which reports Wednesday. The analyst consensus for ICE is a drop of 1 cent per share in quarterly year-over-year earnings and a 1.6% drop in revenue. That said, the mantra on the Street is "ICE is nice because ICE is twice," meaning its impending acquisition of NYX and all its plans and benefits. One of those benefits will include the growing value of NYX between now and when ICE completes the takeover. In a Jan. 24 interview with the Wall Street Journal, NYX CEO Duncan Niederauer revealed plans to spin off its Euronext division.
>>Read "Bank of America: Financial Winner" on TheStreet
Euronext is the European electronic stock-exchange business that operates markets in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon. The spinoff was outlined as part of the $8.2 billion transaction announced last month between ICE and NYX. The spinoff has an important goal. It will, according to the newspaper, help to "...allay potential concerns that exchanges managed from afar could diminish the influence of European financial hubs, hurting their ability to control jobs and other aspects of the business." During its conference call, NYX reiterated something first mentioned in a Jan. 31 Wall Street Journal article, that a side deal NYX reached with ICE could prevent a competing bid from arising. Under the deal, NYSE's European derivatives unit, known as Liffe, agreed to clear its trades through IntercontinentalExchange for at least two years, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources. The deal will remain valid regardless of whether the merger with IntercontinentalExchange closes.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello! I would be glad to assist you with this question. First, in the state of Nevada the age of majority is defined as is 18; or up to a maximum age of 19, if a student is enrolled in, but has not yet completed high school for the purposes of child support. This is found in the Nevada Statutes NRS 129.010, 125.510, 125B.110 and 425.300. You generally cannot just stop paying support unless the order for child support states so. For instance, generally it says something along the lines of .... Payor is obligated to pay child support for X child in the amount of X until that dies reaches the age of majority, or is 19 and in high school, married or dies....etc. If this language is in your child support order you can cease payments. However, I would still advise getting a court order.
As for your alimony payments, again, it should be set out in the Court order as to the termination date. If there is a termination date then effective that date you can stop payments otherwise you should ask for a court order
The only way the child support would continue for your daughter was if she was still in high school which she is not, therefore there are no grounds for it to continue as to that child.
if I have answered all of your questions please press accept and provide positive feedback so I will get credit for assisting you. PLEASE NOTE: this is a PAID answering service and we only receive credit for assisting you if you accept the answer. If you are not satisfied and need additional assistance, please ask before providing negative feedback and I would be glad to assist you further. Sometimes I am working with more than one customer at a time so please allow a chance to respond. Thank you and I wish you the best in your situation! I strongly suggest that you consult with a local attorney in your area on this matter.

ABC Up 15% in the Ratings with Adults 18-49 from Last Year
ABC is up 15% in the 18-49 demo from this time last year. The ratings details are below:
Sunday Night (7:00-11:00 p.m.)
Up against NBC's "Sunday Night Football" and an NFL-overrun boosted CBS, ABC outdrew Fox's Sunday night schedule by 2.0 million viewers (7.4 million vs. 5.4 million).
* ABC was up from the year-ago Sunday by 15% in Adults 18-49 (2.3/6 vs. 2.0/5).
"America's Funniest Home Videos" (7:00-8:00 p.m.)
During the 7 o'clock hour, opposite CBS' huge Broncos-Patriots NFL primetime overrun, ABC's season opener of "America's Funniest Home Videos" grew from its year-ago season premiere in Total Viewers, across the Women demos and with Kids 2-11. The veteran ABC video clip show retained 100% of its year-ago opener with Adults 18-49 (1.5/4).
* From its first half-hour to its second half-hour, "AFVH" saw its numbers shoot up by 26% in viewers (5.7 million to 7.2 million) and by 50% in young adults (1.2/3 to 1.8/5).
"Once Upon a Time" (8:00-9:00 p.m.)
More than doubling its Adult 18-49 lead-in (+120%) and building audience from start to finish, ABC's "Once Upon a Time" (3.3/8) finished No. 1 against its non-sports competition from 8:00-9:00 p.m., beating an NFL-overrun-fueled CBS by 10% ("60 Minutes"/"The Amazing Race" = 3.0/8) and Fox's animated comedies by 22% ("The Simpsons"/"Bob's Burgers" = 2.7/7). "Once Upon a Time" won its hour across all key Women demos (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54) and stood as Sunday's No. 1 TV show with Women 18-34 for the 2nd week in a row. In addition, The Disney-owned drama retained over 90% of its big week-ago premiere with Women 18-34 (92%) and Kids 2-11 (94%).
* "Once Upon a Time" boosted its time period for ABC over the year-ago night by 30% in Total Viewers (9.6 million vs. 7.4 million) and by 65% in Adults 18-49 (3.3/8 vs. 2.0/5).
* Based on early DVR playback for the new season (Live + 3 Day), "Once Upon a Time" saw its numbers spike by 2.4 million viewers and by 1.1 Adult 18-49 rating points over its initially-reported Live + Same Day ratings.
"Revenge" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
During the 9 o'clock hour, "Revenge" moved ABC further ahead of its CBS competition, beating out the combination of "The Amazing Race" and "The Good Wife" by 30% in Adults 18-49 (2.6/6 vs. 2.0/5). In addition, the ABC sophomore drama ranked as the No. 1 entertainment program in its time period with key Women (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54).
* On its new night and time, ABC's "Revenge" was up from its year-ago performance on Wednesday night (7.7 million and 2.4/6 on 10/5/11) in both viewers (+8%) and young adults (+8%).
* A big gainer in DVR playback, "Revenge" built from its L+SD to L+3 numbers by 2.2 million viewers and nearly 1.0 Adult 18-49 rating point (+0.9).
"666 Park Avenue" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
Topping CBS' dramas ("The Good Wife"/"The Mentalist" = 1.0/3 and 1.6/4) in the 10 o'clock hour, ABC's "666 Park Avenue" (1.3/4 and 1.7/4) ranked as the No. 1 non-sports program in its time slot for the 2nd week in a row with key Adults (AD18-34/AD18-49). The new ABC drama was also the entertainment leader in the hour across all key Women demographics.
* During its first 3 days of DVR playback, "666 Park Avenue" saw its Adult 18-49 rating jump by 38% and added on another 2.0 million viewers over its Live + Same Day numbers.
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 46% currently, from 42% at the same point in 2011. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

BBC Review
Any measure you want to throw at it, this is a killer rock album.
Everett True 2010
You can hear traces of the Black Angels' Texas heritage all over their third album: most obviously 13th Floor Elevators' deranged psych groove on the incredible opener Bad Vibrations, which halfway through knocks the volume up several notches and starts rocking like prime (ie early) Queens of the Stone Age. Does Alex Mass' nasal voice that sounds like it's been tripping down a nearby rabbit hole feel familiar? Have a listen to Jefferson Airplane. This is not to knock The Black Angels' groove – far from it. Simply, wantonly, delightfully, this five-piece have built upon the past without once sounding tired or clichéd.
Haunting at 1300 McKinley could be lifted direct from one of those classic Pebbles compilations of 60s garage bands: a driving, repetitive back-beat matched to distorted guitars and questioning vocals – stare at the sun too long, you're bound to get burned. Yellow Elevator oozes backwards guitar riffs and the odd burst of silence, rustling into the same trippy undergrowth that made Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd such a delight. Some of the riffs here are almost a match for Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, or one of the classic Spacemen 3 sides. You kind of feel that the jug-wielding (another nod to Roky Erickson) Sunday Afternoon is the sort of full-blown psych anthem Oasis could've made, if they'd had an ounce more wit. (Not to slag Oasis, just to point out how high the bar is that The Black Angels are setting.) Pull out the psychedelic light slides and fluid oil patterns, and set them going on high while the strobe machine flickers incessantly.
This sounds authentic, you understand? Both in a 1967 and a 2010 sense. The tempo of the beats owes more to the present-day. The spaced-out guitars and vocals entirely favour the past. It's a great combination. Another parallel? The rollicking, churning True Believers sounds like The Dandy Warhols if they'd ever been any good, while the jangly Telephone could be a just-discovered epochal cut from 60s Australian 'garage' band The Easybeats.
Whereas before, The Black Angels' albums – great as they were – were mostly centred around one incredible track (most noticeably The First Vietnamese War from the 2006 debut album Passover), Phosphene Dream stuns by its quality of depth. In Bad Vibrations, the balls-out River of Blood, Haunting at 1300 McKinley and several others, The Black Angels have written a series of rock anthems to match both the ghosts of the past and tribal-leaders of the present. The title is a reference to PH3, a toxic and explosive gas. It's suitable, trust me.
Rock album of the year, if anyone's counting.

Pre-order Samsung Galaxy Note 8: AT&T | Verizon | T-Mobile | Sprint
Well, to me it shows that Android Central is actively searching for news to bring to us rather than sitting back watching the other tech blogs or looking for press releases to see what to report. Plus, it's probably a relatively slow Android news day.
Is there a "ban the evil guns like they can kill things on their own" app yet?
No, but I bet I could throw my GS3 at someone in a theater and hit them in the temple and kill them. But then GS3's would get banned in the US for being weapons!!!!
Sorry, for this non-related app response, but...The term doping is a contradiction in itself. Just like this drug-free fairytale everyone wants to be in. So, if we take away #1's spot and give it to the runner-up who is, low and behold, the second dopiest among them all. What is it proving? We shower these atheletes with promises & anything else we can throw at them. Then we wonder why were they doping their way to #1 or to just keep in it. Whoever is in charge of America's public relations has some seriously twisted morals & backward sense of self. oh ya! funny app BTW
C'mon Android Central, do you guys have an article quota? Quality over quantity :P
'If you don't like it, you didn't have to click on the article.' Actually, I'd rather bitch every time they post something dumb like this. At least then, they understand that articles like this are a waste of time for themselves, and for their readers.

Ruby, vibrant red, sassy and sultry, has definitely outshone the other revived vintage gem names, with its sparkling resume of cultural references.
Ruby is an early rock classic -- think the Rolling Stones hit "Ruby Tuesday" --and other songs like "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love from Me." She's appeared in such works as Cold Mountain and been associated with performers like Ruby Keeler (born Ethel) and Ruby Dee. Chosen by Tobey Maguire and a number of other celebs, Ruby makes a cool yet warm choice.
For the past few years, Ruby has been a huge hit across the English-speaking world: right now she's Number 13 in Australia, 17 in England and Wales and 22 in Ireland. Her highest point in the US was from 1900 to 1936, when she was in the Top 50--but she could surpass that number if enthusiasm for her continues to grow. In 2013, she vaulted back into the Top 100 again and is now at Number 71.
