After watching her relate with Tom Sizemore yet again on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, Season 3, Episode 5, I just have to ask what makes Heidi Fleiss so judgmental? This is a person who organized a high profile client prostitution ring. Sizemore did hurt her physically and emotionally, but why the lack of understanding in his situation?
Sizemore is addicted to drugs just as Fleiss is. Drug addiction leads to many more things, often criminal. Their relationship was so volatile that Sizemore did some time being locked up for physical abuse. It's something that she's bringing up repeatedly in Rehab, that he made her head bleed. Yet, they were in their drug addiction together.
When Heidi found out Sizemore was homeless, she was appaled, asking how this guy that was making millions per movie could now be homeless. He tried to explain he was an addict, to which she replied she didn't know. How could she not know? She used with him. At the same time, he blames her for his drug use escalting. He says he was an addict before, and in fact he's been using drugs since he was 15, yet he blames his downfall from drugs on Heidi. Why can she not empthatize at least a little bit, knowing she enjoyed the ride, at least for awhile, with him?
Sizemore's moved on and is with Monroe, but it seems this relationship is based solely on drugs. As much as he blames Heidi for making it worse, he and Monroe don't seem to have any other connection. Dr. Drew Pinsky knows that it will be hard for Sizemore to get clean, only to go back home to Monroe and that situation. He offered to get Monroe into treatment as well, but she balked at the suggestion, and Sizemore then felt the need to leave treatment with her. Will he come back again? If he successfuly leaves the property, I don't think he will come back. I don't think Monroe will let him, because of her dislike of Heidi and knowing that Dr. Drew is now onto her. Hopefully Dr. Drew can stop them on next week's show before they get in a car.
Besides, it seems the key to healing both Heidi and Sizemore is with their connection to each other. Both put so much blame on each other for the reason they're there. It seems that to truly get them healthy, they need to get to the sources of their problems together and of blaming each other. Heidi has to learn to connect with people again, instead of spending time with her birds.
To run a prostitution ring, she had to be a people person at some point, yet to do that to begin with, I wonder if she was hurt somewhere in her young life, then turned to the prostitution to get ahead, with a lack of caring for others, and after her time with Sizemore, having someone that supposedly loved her hurting her, she's turned against people altogether.
Hopefully Sizemore comes back, with or without Monroe, so both he and Heidi can get healthy. She can be off drugs, but until she starts connecting with people again, she's never going to be healthy.

The latest Maryland family selected for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has now been notified and .
It happened Wednesday, when the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition bus pulled up to the Johnson-Goslee family home in Mardela Springs, MD, just outside of Salisbury. The family includes Sonora Gosley, her sister Patrice Gosley and Patrice's children, Wyzhir and Renee Johnson.
Using his bullhorn, Ty Pennington of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition called out to the family, who lives on a small street of modest homes.
Pennington was accompanied by his fellow cast members, Michael Moloney, Paige Hemmis, Ed Sanders and Johnny Littlefield.
According to a statement, issued by the Fusion Cos., Wyzhir was involved in an accident on Christmas Eve, 2010 when he was working with his grandfather to improve his home.
"The project that Wyzhir was leading was almost complete when his jacket became entangled with the teeth of the fast moving miter saw blades," the press release states. "Attempting to release himself, Wyzhir fell backwards, causing the saw to fall on him and ultimately [sever] his left hand. After weeks of care and countless surgeries, Wyzhir was informed that his hand could not be preserved."
The house has numerous issues, according to the release, including lack of a proper foundation and plumbing—there are no working toilets or showers.
Additionally, the home's ceilings are reportedly "6-foot tall, 2-feet short of the standard height."
Wes and Josh Sims, owners of the Fusion Cos., were also present for the door knock and they will now have 106 hours to demolish the family's existing home and build a dream house in its place.
Fusion will have some help with this 'extreme' task. For months leading up to Wednesday's door knock, officials from Fusion put out the call for help, seeking volunteers from around their home base of Annapolis and the Eastern Shore.
Fusion has lined up "thousands" of volunteers, according to Kristin McMahon of Annapolis-based Chic PR, which is handling media relations for Fusion, but she said they still need more.
According to McMahon, other Annapolis companies helping on the build include Halpern Architects, Fast Signs, Rentals to Remember and Lotus Therapeutic Massage.
More help, of course, comes from the cast of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, though they will be filming in two locations at one time.
"The other house is in New England," said McMahon. "They're staggered so that one won't start for two days roughly."
The Johnson-Goslee family will be the sixth Maryland family to be featured on Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, which is now in its ninth season, according to Sarah Strid, director of communications for the show. Past Maryland locations include: Capitol Heights, Port Deposit, Poolesville and Baltimore.
Approximately 50 miles away from the Johnson-Goslee home is the Dunning family of Lewes, DE, who were notified in August that they were selected for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Work on the Dunning's home was being completed just as Hurricane Irene hit—it wasn't damaged, but work had to be suspended at one point, due to mandatory evacuations.
The season premiere of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was televised this past Sunday. Filmed in North Carolina, it featured the First Lady, Michelle Obama, as well as Rihanna.
Thus far, there's been no announcement of such star power on this build.
During the build, the family will be going to Santa Barbara, CA, though they had not been informed of this at the time of our visit.
The Johnson-Goslee family episode will be televised approximately six to eight weeks after filming ends. The 'Move that Bus' celebration is scheduled for Tuesday.
Historic Annapolis Patch will update this article, as soon as we know the exact date the show will be aired.
In the meantime, you can also follow the story on WMDT 47 News, the ABC affiliate in Salisbury.

Pasadena Police are on "elevated high alert" as law enforcement agencies around the state search for an ex-LAPD officer accused of going on a killing spree.
Christopher Jordan Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2009, allegedly killed two people in Irvine on Sunday and later fired at police officers in Riverside County early Thursday morning. One officer was killed in the shooting.
"Dorner's behavior poses a significant risk to the public through his willingness to target police officers and innocent people," Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said in a written statement. "Until he is apprehended, he will continue to pose a significant threat to any person he fells is a threat."
Dorner is described as a 33-year-old African American Male, 6-feet tall, and 270 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
"He was last seen driving a blue 2005 Nissan Titan pick-up with California license 7X03191," a Pasadena PD news release states.

Fall means a new school year, cooler weather, and a return to routine. No more lazy days of summer! As your needs change, you need different food. For cooler weather, heartier and more comforting recipes are in order. Pull out your crock pot and use it again so dinner is ready and waiting when you get home. Breakfast becomes more important; how are you going to ensure your kids eat well before they head off to school? And let's celebrate the new season with fabulous recipes using apples and pears, the fruits of fall. Pull out your sweaters and set the alarm clock, because fall is here.
1. Best Fall Chicken Recipes
2. Top 10 Favorite Fall Recipes
3. Chicken Casserole Recipes
Chicken casseroles are easy to make, comforting, and delicious. And you can make most of these recipes ahead of time, so you just pull them out of the fridge (or freezer, if you make a casserole that can be frozen) and bake until hot and bubbly. Dinner's almost on the table!
4. Top 10 Fall Pasta Recipes
5. Apple Recipes
6. Thanksgiving 101
7. Pear Recipes
8. Back to School Recipes and Menus
The new school year is always exciting, whether you have a child going off the preschool, starting grade school or high school, or heading off to college. Your kids need fuel to give them the best shot at success. Their brains just don't work as well without the calories and nutrients a good breakfast provides. Then there's the challenge of lunch! If you pack your child's lunch, get them involved. If they help pick out the food and pack the lunch, the chances they'll eat it improve! And what about after school? Kids are hungry at 3 PM; it's been hours since lunch and it's still a couple of hours until dinner. Healthy snacks (some they can make themselves!) will help fill the gap and set them up for homework and evening activities.
9. Crockpot Recipes
If your slow cooker has been taking a break this summer, now's the time to pull it out. You can make everything from desserts to breakfast to side dishes to sandwiches and soups in this fabulous appliance. In fact, you really should own more than one crock pot. These easy and fabulous recipes will keep your crockpot busy all season long.
10. The Weekend Cook: Indian Summer
I don't know if it's politically correct to call it "Indian Summer" anymore, but every fall there's a bucolic few days after the first frost when the weather briefly warms up. Take advantage of that wonderful time with these easy recipes and menus, including a Saturday lunch of Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwiches and Crunchy Chocolate Brownie Bars. Yum.

Noam Chomsky (Part 2): "This Is The Most Remarkable Regional Uprising That I Can Remember"
In recent weeks, popular uprisings in the Arab world have led to the ouster of Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the imminent end of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime, a new Jordanian government, and a pledge by Yemen's longtime dictator to leave office at the end of his term. We speak to MIT Professor Noam Chomsky in an extended interview about what these popular uprisings mean for the future of the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy in the region, how U.S. fear of the Muslim Brotherhood is really fear of democracy in the Arab world, and what the Egyptian protests mean for people in the United States.

Pregnant Antiwar Soldier Sent to Prison
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Amid the ongoing violence in Iraq, a young, pregnant soldier has been sent to prison this week for desertion. She refused to return to the war in Iraq back in 2007. Pfc. Kimberly Rivera first deployed to Iraq in 2006. She guarded the gate at Forward Operating Base Loyalty in eastern Baghdad at a time when the base was under constant attack. She said of the experience: "I had a huge awakening seeing the war as it truly is: People losing their lives for greed of a nation, and the effects on the soldiers who come back with new problems such as nightmares, anxieties, depression, anger, alcohol abuse, missing limbs and scars from burns. Some don't come back at all."

Maddux Remains In San Diego
Thursday's non waiver trade deadline has come and gone with the Padres holding onto players like Greg Maddux, Brian Giles, and Josh Bard. Other Padres players who had their names in a few trade rumors included bullpen arms Cla Meredith and Heath Bell. FF was hoping to see the Pads unload Maddux and maybe Bard, as the catching duties for the rest of this year should go to Nick Hundley to allow the Pads to evaluate where he stands in their fuure plans. Towers has never been shy with the waiver wire deals; he made plenty of deals in August last year and FF would be surprised if there aren't a few coming this season.

The PA Open for Business website provides users with the ability to determine if a name is available for use. A user who registers a business through the Online Business Registration Interview (OBRI) may check the availability of a name through a link in the interview. Click here to check the availability of a name without entering the OBRI
A fictitious name is an assumed name, other than the legal name, that an enterprise uses to conduct business in Pennsylvania.
In a sole proprietorship, the surname of the sole proprietor standing alone, or coupled with words that describe the business, is not a fictitious business name. In a general partnership, the surname of all general partners standing alone, or coupled with words that describe the business is not a fictitious business name.
Registration of a fictitious name does not provide the business entity with exclusive rights to the use of the name. There are no ownership rights to a fictitious name and the name is not protected against use by anyone else. The same fictitious name can be used repetitively by different business entities.
The penalty for failing to register a fictitious name is that the unregistered entity may not use the courts of Pennsylvania to enforce a contract entered into using the fictitious name. The failure to register the fictitious name does not void the contract, but merely prevents such enforcement until registration. The court has the option of imposing a $500 penalty, payable to the Pennsylvania Department of State, in these instances where the entity seeks to enforce the contract and subsequently registers the fictitious name in an untimely manner.
Incorporating a business by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Pennsylvania Department of State provides a business with exclusive use of a corporate name. A corporate name may not be the same as or confusingly similar to the name of any other corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company or limited liability partnership.
To register a fictitious business name that has been determined to be available, you must file an Application for Registration of Fictitious Name (form DSCB: 54-311) with the Pennsylvania Department of State, Corporation Bureau.
The Pennsylvania Open for Business website provides two ways to register a fictitious name online. A user can either register their fictitious name online using the Online Business Registration Interview (OBRI) or download the appropriate form from the Forms section, complete the form and mail it into the Pennsylvania Department of State. There is a fee of $70 for registering a fictitious name.

TERRAS: Boss Jason Matthews ready to start summer signings
6:00am Wednesday 30th April 2014 in Sport By Dan Rose, Sports Reporter
JASON Matthews is set to make some early moves in the transfer market and has guaranteed Terras' fans new signings will be arriving at the club over the next week.
Weymouth only finished their league campaign against Chesham United four days ago, but with a number of loan players returning to their parent clubs, Matthews is determined to assemble a new squad and get fresh faces prepared for the start of next season.
Confirming he is close to agreeing deals with an unnamed full-back and centre-forward, Matthews told Echosport: "There is a lot in the pipeline and it could even be done in the next day or so.
"There are a couple we just need to agree terms with.
"I'm also looking for a centre-back, a central midfielder and a centre-forward and I'm hoping to get them in as soon as possible.
"Hopefully we can tie a fair bit up in the next week or so, I don't want to use my entire budget yet just in case someone else becomes available. A lot of clubs are still playing games but we are making inroads into some targets that we have been looking at for quite a long time.
"I'd like a little more experience in the spine of the team because I felt we lacked a bit towards the end of last season, and obviously the full-back area is something I want to address.
"Hopefully we will have a full-back in by the end of the week."
On the process of striving to attract his targets for next term, he added "It's tough to get it all done because the players are all weighing up their options, we obviously have a reduced budget this year but we are working hard to get players that want to come to Weymouth for the right reasons."
With the club also confirming home friendly fixtures against Plymouth Argyle and Gloucester City during pre-season, Matthews also insisted that other matches may be scheduled fairly soon.

The first of a three-phase project to increase the amount of lighting along campus walkways is under way. New light fixtures, which give off light more closely resembling natural daylight, will be installed atop existing poles, replacing the old plastic globe and "square box" fixtures.
"The new fixtures will increase the amount of light on the walkways by 25 percent with no increase in the amount of energy needed to power the lights," said Ron Tola, director of facilities management. "Campus landscaping and walkways will appear a 'truer' color, rather than the current 'yellow-orange' color."
Phase I of the project provides for the installation of new lights on all walkways bounded by 43rd and 49th streets, and Elkhorn Avenue and Hampton Boulevard. This phase, which will cost an estimated $220,000, is scheduled for completion by Feb. 20.
Robert Fenning, vice president for administration and finance, explained that this is a capital project funded through maintenance reserves, which have supported the design and now the purchase and installation of the fixtures. "This is not being financed by operating funds," he noted. "These new light fixtures are part of a number of repairs and other facility-related projects which address deferred maintenance and code compliance issues."
The new metal halide light fixtures will replace the old high-pressure sodium lights. The exterior color of the new, stylish fixtures will be black to match the existing poles and be more consistent with the architectural character of campus buildings, Tola said. The fixtures will be the same ones used in the University Village.
Timetables for the next two phases of the project will be announced after funding becomes available. Phase II will provide for the installation of new lights on walkways bounded by 43rd and 49th streets, and Elkhorn Avenue and the west end of the campus. Phase III will provide new fixtures on walkways located between 49th Street and Bolling Avenue, and Bluestone Avenue and Hampton Boulevard.
The overall project will include the replacement of approximately 350 light fixtures at a total cost of $500,000, Tola said. The replacement of light fixtures in parking lots is not part of the project.

Friday, 27th July
AstraZeneca, the struggling drug maker which is without a permanent boss after its chief executive quit under shareholder pressure, yesterday had another ailment to deal with as second-quarter sales fell by a fifth. Sales tumbled 21 per cent to $6.6bn (£4.2bn) in the three months to June, hit by generic competition to Astra's best-selling antipsychotic medicine Seroquel, as well as European governments' squeeze on health spending. Revenues in western Europe fell 20 per cent, following in the footsteps of Astra's bigger British rival GlaxoSmithKline, which yesterday admitted it will only see flat revenues this year.
But Astra has other difficulties: the FTSE 100 drugs giant's ex-chief executive, David Brennan, shocked the City when he quit in April in an apparent boardroom coup just hours before its shareholder meeting. Investors were angry about Astra's plunging revenues as key drugs faced generic competition, as well as its weak pipeline of newproducts, and yesterday threw up fresh evidence of just how bad its predicament is. About half of Astra's $33bn annual revenues are set to fall away over the next four years, including ulcer treatment Nexium, and cholesterol-buster Crestor, which is worth $6.6bn a year.
In the second quarter, a generic version of Seroquel hit the pharmacy shelves, accounting for 80 per cent of Astra's fall in US revenues, which were down 29 per cent in the three months to $2.3bn.

BRADENTON -- The Manatee River Hotel, set to reopen Tuesday as the Bradenton Hampton Inn & Suites, was conceived as a ritzy playground for the roaring '20s but saw its high-roller hopes go to the gutter when the Great Depression hit and never truly recovered.
"Rendered in Italian Renaissance style it will be one of the most imposing structures in the entire state of Florida," read a July, 9, 1925, article in the Manatee River Journal-Herald announcing the hotel's plans.
The project came on board thanks to investor H.C. Van Sweringen, half of the Van Sweringen brothers who established the affluent Shaker Heights suburb of Cleveland.
Van Sweringen assembled a team of minority investors of historic Bradenton families to help fund the $850,000 hotel, including R.M. Beall, E.P. Green, H.K. Tallant, H.D. Horney, J.B. Gregg and G.P. Smythe. Van Sweringen held 150 shares in the stake of the company while each of the city leaders held a 20-share stake.
Construction began on the Mediterranean revival hotel in August 1925, and when
completed in 1926 the hotel was valued at $2 million. It was operated by the American Hotel Corp., which was the largest hotel operator in the nation at the time.
The accommodations were tiny despite the grandiose treatments, totaling 250 rooms with Murphy beds. A single night, single occupancy stay at the hotel cost $2.50 on opening night.
The seven-story structure with a beige/off-white color featured a roof garden with a tarp-covered band shell for parties with cocktails, helping to give the ritzy hotel the nickname "Queen of the West Coast."
Today's Hampton Inn roof is just a roof, leaving no room for a nightcap and a dance.
Local lore and news clippings at the Manatee County Historical Records Library boasted that the hotel was the spring training quarters of the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies and other Major League Baseball teams and once home to Hollywood stars.
Mentions of Herbert Hoover, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Babe Ruth and Al Capone are found in the clippings, but stories of their presence at the hotel are hard to find. The Historical Records Library doesn't have the hotel's registration book to verify their stays. Gable's stay in Bradenton has been documented through his sailing on the Manatee River by the Twin Dolphin Marina, and he could have stayed at the hotel to watch spring training.
Gable was a first cousin of Red Sox player Joe Cicero, who attended spring training in 1929, according to the book "Spring Training in Bradenton and Sarasota" by Raymond Sinibaldi.
One of the more spectacular parts of the building didn't survive. When built, the hotel was connected to the existing Braden Apartments, which became the Robert Whitney Apartments (also at one time a hotel). The two buildings were connected with a magnificent colonnade on the second floor, featuring a courtyard and pool between the buildings. The apartments were demolished in October 1964 to construct Ninth Street.
The Manatee River Hotel closed in March 1966 due to declining business and was reborn later that August as a senior home and hotel called the Riverpark Hotel, managed by Florida Retirement Hotels.
Manatee River Hotel Inc. sold the property for $1.7 million and it was painted pink in 1983. In 1991, the Riverpark Residence Hotel was renovated and reopened as a senior vacation center.
Illini Hotel Enterprises took over in 1996, buying the hotel for $1.7 million and spending $1 million to renovate the building, reopening it in 1997 as a hotel on four floors and an assisted living facility on two floors.
In 2005, Kendar Development Corp., Riverpark Grande Development and Darrell Rhea purchased the hotel for $3.5 million from Illini Hotel Enterprises ,wanting to construct 40 upscale condos, while kicking out 105 senior residents. The new housing project would be dubbed Riverpark Grande, but the economy tanked and the project failed.
In 2008, investors, including former county commissioner Joe McClash, wanted to buy the hotel and turn it into a boutique hotel, while then-owners Riverpark Grande Development was trying to line up a hotel owner/operator that wanted to have a hotel comparable to a Ritz-Carlton.
A competing plan at the time by the Promenade project developers aimed to build a five-story senior apartment community on the property. One hotel plan by Riverpark Grande wanted permission to rent the city dock to offer packages to rent boats and watercraft.
Another deal proposed in 2008 by Dunn Hospitality Group failed after it asked for $3.4 million from city government in part to build a parking garage.
City officials OK'd a hotel plan, but Riverpark lost the property in foreclosure from Regions Bank after owing $3.1 million in 2009. The city held a lien against the property and boarded it to prevent deterioration.
That's when Widewaters Development came into the picture in 2010, acquiring the deed from Regions through a foreclosure sale. In 2011 it received approval and incentives from the city and federal governments worth $3.3 million to renovate the hotel to National Register of Historic Places standards.
Widewaters reached a deal to open the hotel as the Hampton Inn & Suites. Originally billed as a 115-room hotel, planning during the renovation bumped up the total to 119 rooms.
Construction began in January, and doors to the Hampton Inn will open Tuesday.

Boyd/Diego/Evan three way where at one point we get cutie Evan in the middle of a little fuck train where he's being fucked by Boyd and Evan is fucking Diego. But wait! There's more. There also is a three way with Carson/Dixon/Gamble, which turned out to be a pretty aggressive scene, where we aren't sure if poor Carson knew what hit him! It also has solos with Dixon and Gamble, where we first met the gents before they dived into man-on-man action.

Shoud the city of Toronto inspectors have noted any shotty work re: weeping tiles, sub pumps etc? Neighbours says the builder did a bad job with the gravel, dirt round the foundations (i canT verify this). Had a local basement repair guy say this will cost big **$ to fix.

Should Arizona's 'Religious Freedom' Bill Become Law?
Opponents say the bill creates a 'right to discriminate.'
The Arizona state government complex in Phoenix.
The Arizona legislature passed a bill that will allow people to refuse service to others based upon religious beliefs. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who vetoed a similar bill last year, has five days to decide if she will sign it or not.
The bill was introduced in the Republican-controlled legislature last month by proponents who say they want to ensure that people are not held legally liable for refusing to do something that violates their religious beliefs. House Bill 2153/Senate Bill 1062 was drafted by the Center for Arizona Policy, a conservative advocacy group, and the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization.
Dubbed the "right to discriminate" bill by opponents, the legislation was passed Thursday in the Senate and Friday in the House. It would give people the power to refuse services to anyone if they say doing so goes against their religion. The legislation would include both practice and observance of religion as a part of the state's definition of "exercise of religion." It would also widen the umbrella of the state's free-exercise-of-religion law to "any individual, association, partnership, corporation, church, religious assembly or institution or other business organization."
[See a collection of political cartoons on gay marriage.]
In order to be protected under the law, people would have to prove that any services withheld in the name of the law are the result of sincere religious beliefs. This means a wedding photographer could decline to photograph a same-sex marriage if the photographer objects to the marriage on religious grounds.
"We are trying to protect people's religious liberties," said Arizona State Rep. Steve Montenegro, a Republican. "We don't want the government coming in and forcing somebody to act against their religious sacred faith beliefs or having to sell out if you are a small-business owner."
Arizona Senate Democratic Leader Anna Tovar called the bill "a disgraceful assault on members of our community." Opponents say the bill could easily be abused and used to discriminate against people for a wide range of reasons. "SB 1062 permits discrimination under the guise of religious freedom. With the express consent of Republicans in this Legislature, many Arizonans will find themselves members of a separate and unequal class under this law because of their sexual orientation," said Tovar. "This bill may also open the door to discriminate based on race, familial status, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability."
[See a collection of political cartoons on immigration.]
Similar legislation has been pursued but defeated in Idaho, Tennessee and South Dakota. The Kansas House passed a bill that would allow people to refrain from any task "contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs," but it has not been approved by the Senate.
What do you think? Should Arizona's "religious freedom" bill become law? Take the poll and comment below.

« LeAnn Rimes Rocks A Sexy, Skin-Tight Dress In Malibu | Main | EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Brad Pitt Narrowly Misses Jennifer Aniston And Justin Theroux At Movie Theater »
Angelina Jolie: "I Always Felt Not Traditionally Beautiful"
Posted on Sun Nov 27, 2011 08:30 PM PDT
There's no denying that Angelina Jolie is absolutely gorgeous, but during an in depth interview with 60 Minutes, the star admitted she doesn't think of herself as a "traditional beauty," and confessed that her late mom will always be "better" than she is.
The Oscar winner revealed:
- "I always felt not traditionally beautiful. I have big features…as I get older I look like my mom. And I love my mom. You start to kinda put your lineage in line of the different things you are. I see the Native American in me I can see the German from my father's side and you come to love the combination.â€
Jolie added, "As long as Brad thinks I'm beautiful…I wake up and I want to be a smarter person. But I feel like that's certainly what I'm encouraging my girls to do.â€
The Salt star also confessed on following in her late mother's footsteps:
- My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences … everything was for her children, I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she's better than me. I will never be as good a mother as she was. I will try my best, but I don't think I could ever be."
We think partner Brad Pitt -- and their six kids!-- would disagree!
Angie appeared on 60 Minutes to promote her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which hits theaters Dec. 23.

By Kim West
Bloopers, grand slams and balks — Mike Bishop has seen it all in his 17 years at the helm of the West Limestone baseball program, but Tuesday's game was one he won't be able to forget.
Senior Kyle Casteel went the distance in a classic pitching duel as the Wildcats claimed a 1-0 home victory against Class 4A, Area 16 rival Wilson on a blustery and cold Tuesday afternoon.
Casteel (2-0), a 6-foot-4-inch right-hander, struck out 11 Warriors while allowing three hits and only one walk in a 83-pitch, seven-inning performance, while Wilson ace Layton Pyler, a 6-foot-2 junior, tossed a complete game one-hitter.
"Kyle is my No. 1 pitcher, and he's had two good games in his last two outings. He's averaged striking out about 10 batters per game, and he's really coming on now," Bishop said. "He throws a fastball, changeup and a really good slider, and I think he should play college ball. Hopefully, he plays at the next level."
West Limestone's lone run came in the bottom of the fifth inning as speedster Drake Lopez drew a walk from Pyler, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Dillon Miller and then promptly swiped third base. Lopez finished off his small-ball trip around the bases by stealing home.
"It was a gutsy game, and we stole home to win the ball game. There were two outs and Drake has the most stolen bases on the team," said Bishop, who joked the wintry conditions were more suitable for the gridiron. "I usually tell the team that we've got to make something happen (to score). We've stolen home three times in my career, and two of the three have worked. It may not work next time but it did this time, and that's all that matters."
Austin Tuten doubled in the fourth inning for the Wildcats' only hit.
After starting the season 0-6 with four losses against 5A Athens and East Limestone, the Wildcats have won four of the past five games and are entering a nine-game stretch with eight area contests against Wilson, Central-Florence and Rogers in the next two weeks.
West (4-7) will host Wilson (10-11) at noon and 2 p.m. today. The Wildcats will play at No. 2 Central-Florence at 4 p.m. Monday. The Lauderdale County school eliminated West in the state playoffs last season.

McSorley's earned its reputation as America's most famous bar by the 1940s, when Life magazine
ran a picture story about a day in the life of the alehouse. Artist John Sloan helped push McSorley's
toward celebrity with a series of paintings completed between 1912 and 1930, and whenever there was
a public exhibition of Sloan paintings, business boomed in the bar - and more artists came to make
more paintings. Joseph Mitchell immortalized the bar in The New Yorker, and his essays were later
compiled in the book McSorley's Wonderful Saloon.
First John and then Bill McSorley personally opened the bar each morning and closed it at night. It was their custom to gather patrons at closing time and buy the final round. Bill McSorley didn't drink at all; and after imbibing steadily from the time he was 20 until he was 55, John McSorley gave up drink at 55. He remained a trencherman, however, late in life forming a organization of gluttons called the Honorable John McSorley Pickle, Beefsteak, Baseball Nine and Chowder Club.
Many politicians were among the regulars, which is one of the reasons that Bill McSorley paid no attention to Prohibition, not even bothering with a peephole as he continued to serve beer. But John McSorley's eye for memorabilia and pictures of famous people gave the impression that more historical figures passed through the doors than actually did. Still there were plenty who did; for instance, Woody Guthrie sat at a table with regulars shortly before he headed off to the Merchant Marines. In 1969, McSorley's returned to the headlines when NOW attorney Faith Seidenberg filed suit to end the bar's century-old policy against serving women.
McSorley's ale came from a local brewery, and in 1934 Bill McSorley sold the Fidelio Brewery the right to brew and sell McSorley's Cream Stock Ale. Today, the Stroh Brewing Co. makes the McSorley's Ale sold at the bar and throughout the mid-Atlantic states. The beer is not the real reason to visit the bar, and we wouldn't advocate waiting in the long lines that sometimes appear on weekend nights. Then, it's nearly impossible to get a good look at the place. But on a weekday afternoon, McSorley's remains what we think a saloon is supposed to be.
We sat at a table by the front window, ceramic mugs in front of us, not long ago, each reading books. Imagine our surprise when a cat that had been lazing on the other side of the shutters bounded onto the table and then onto the floor, leaving footprints in the sawdust.
At least he didn't knock over the beers.
October 1997

Right side of the rifle. Each of the floor tiles is 12".
Left side of the rifle
I was surprised to see that this SKS has had night sights installed. Sometime around 1980, apparently, the Yugoslav government investigated the use of flip-up tritium sights for low-light shooting. The night sights in both the front and rear flip up to cover the front and rear day sights.
The rear sight is adjustable for elevation. Each number represents 100 meters, so the elevation is theoretically adjustable to 1000 meters. This is wildly optimistic, to say the least. You'd be doing good to hit a target accurately at 300m with the 7.62x39 round. Immediately behind the rear sight, you can see the front of the bolt carrier, with its stripper clip guides for reloading, and the charging handle.
This is the sight for the integral grenade launcher, which, on my rifle, has been replaced by a muzzle brake, in order to make it legal in California, where grenade launchers are banned. The Yugoslav version of the SKS is the only model with this feature. Immediately behind the sight, you can see a little button on top of the gas tube. This is the top of the gas operation selector lever, which allows the user to block the gas operation when firing grenades. If you forget to set this little lever to the proper position, the SKS turns into a bolt-action rifle.
The is the SKS with the integral bayonet flipped out to the extended position. It's a cool looking bayonet, but it's very dull. You couldn't stop a hamster with it.
Are the tritium vials in the sights still bright enough to actually use?
As far as I know, no model of the Mini-14 comes with a flash supressor.
"Oily schmutz" is this a term of the Gunmakers Art?
A scope is also nice if your eyes are as bad as mine, unfortunately mounting a scope to an SKS isn't that easy if I recall correctly.
Does it really need a flash hider? My Russian mod 45 doesn't have one, and flash has never been an issue.
You'll love the gun man... makes a decent deer rifle, and once you mount your scope, its performance is close enough to any deer or target rifle that you'd spend 800 bucks on.
Or, as the rather crude phrase puts it, "I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to eat salads."

Ever notice that whenever you enter Facebook you see the same people appear over and over again in your newsfeed? Why are there only a bunch of friends commenting on my pictures/status/events? How about Google? Ever notice that when you search for something it brings up things that are relatively close to you? These are not random things that are happening just because they are. Search Engines, Social Networks, Online Stores are designed in a way that suites the user in his best interest using algorithms that determine what you want to see. Or should I say, what they think you want to see.
When the internet first was born it was thought out as a way to connect the world in a free way. The limitations to what we could see were endless. To boundaries, borders or limitations to see what the world was doing. You could easily see a webpage hosted in another country and the only limitation would be language. If you searched for something, say and opinion about some political happenings, you only had to go to Altavista, Webcrawler, Yahoo and you would get all sorts of results from around the world. Nowadays we only have access to certain markets, limiting ourselves to what the internet gurus around the world want us to see. Sometimes when you want to see, lets say a video about abortion, or another delicate theme, from a chinese perspective. You'll probably get a message in Youtube that reads something in the light of "This Video is not available in your country" or "The User has blocked the viewers in your country from watching this video". Some web pages have region oriented content, so that way you can only see what you might/have to be interested in. This sounds pretty similar to what China has been doing in their country doesn't it?
There is a perfect explanation for all of this by non other than Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook CEO. A journalist was asking him about all these, his answer was "A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interest than people dying in Africa". What does this mean? Let me explain the logic. Say you have 400 friends in your Facebook page, out of these friends, 300 of them are from different eras in your lifetime. Some of them are from high school, others are current co-workers, former co-workers, family members, family members in other countries, etc. Out of these people 30 are currently relevant in your life. These 60 are close friends, family members, co-workers, relatives that are currently around you. Facebook sorts this out so you don't have to be seeing things all these 400 "friends" are doing. It just shows you what it thinks is relevant to you in this particular moment. Facebook allows you to "suscribe" to certain friends. This is a way to keep you connected with people you are interested in but aren't directly involved at this moment. Its a way to let you customize what they already customized themselves.
Google does this too. If I search for something and you search for the same thing at the same time, we will get different results. Google uses 50+ signals to determine what to show you. Things like the type of computer you are using, where are you sitting, what country, city, zip code. If you are using your mobile phone, tablet, desktop computer or laptop. This way it gives you what a person like you might want to see. Lets say you make a search in Google that says Argentina, maybe in your page you'll get results concerning political news, soccer results; and in my page I'll get travel pictures, guides, vacation packages. It all depends on what things you look at the most.
Search engine filters work in the same kind of way Facebook works, it gives you what is relevant to you first, then as you browse more and more, you get to see other kind of results. Filters take away all the things you are not supposed to be interested in, kind of the way editors did back in the day, limiting what they wanted to be published. Algorithms sort out things you are strongly interested in, some entertaining stuff you might be interested in and some things you are supposed to be interested in. What you click determines what you'll get next.
The Internet has now become an encrypted jungle where you hardly get the freedom and connection that was once was the original idea of what it was supposed to be. The romantic thought that we could read, see, watch, listen what everybody in the world was doing; true freedom of speech and communication. This is now gone. We are yet again at the hands of those big brothers that are watching and manipulating everything we are doing on the web. The sad thing is, we give them the info for free and willingly.

Author's Notes
Credits & Sources
This, nearly 90 year old, document was found, taped to the inside front cover, of the Gulfport Library Association's "book of minutes" with hand written minutes dating back to 1923. There is no date on this Ordinance, however based on its contents, a Newspaper article dated October 27, 1911, and based on Library Association meeting "minutes" dating back to October, 1913 indicating that there was a Public Library in operation in the Gulfport City Hall in 1913, we can conclude that this ordinance was written between 1911 and 1913.
(Click on the image on the right to view a larger image)
IN ORDINANCE AND ESTABLISHING A FREE LIBRARY FOR THE CITY OF GULFPORT, TO BE KNOW AS THE "gulfport public library", AND PROVIDING FOR THE CONTROL AND REGULATION OF THE SAME.
Section 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the City of Gulfport, Mississippi, that whereas, public organization of the city, known as the Gulfport Public Library Association, has donated certain books and property with the stipulation that same be used as a nucleus for the public library to be owned and maintained by the municipality, and whereas the same has been accepted by the City, therefore, there is hereby established a municipal public library to be known and designated as "the gulfport public library".
Section 2. That said library shall be located in the City Hall of said City or at such other places as the Mayor and Board of Commissioners may hereafter designate.
Section 3.

The said governing board shall make a written recommendation to the Mayor and Board of Commissioners of a suitable librarian, which recommendation shall be acted upon by said Board and who shall appoint no person as librarian that was no so recommended by the said Board of Control. This Board shall have the power to fix the salary of said librarian, the amount thereof to be within the annual appropriation made for all the library purposed by the City.
Section 5. That said governing board shall be appointed by the Mayor and Board of Commissioners, and their term of office shall be for a period of three years, provided, however, that of these first appointees one shall be for one year, two for two years, and tow for the full term of three years.
Section 6. That the said association known as the Gulfport Public Library Association is hereby authorized as an auxiliary to said library and is authorized to collect and receive donations for the use of said Gulfport Public Library, and to stimulate the public use and interest therein.
Section 7. That for good cause shown to the Board therefor, it is ordered by the Board that this ordinance take effect and be in force from and after its passage.

People all across the globe will benefit from the hard work of Gatlinburg Girl Scouts Mason Green and Kestrel Troutman.To celebrate Girl Scouting's 100th anniversary, the girls helped collect more than 100 pairs of shoes and 100 pounds of clothing, and then drove 100 miles to donate the items to the Nashville-based Soles4Souls/Clothes4Souls—a charity serving more than 125 nations.
Mason and Kestrel toured the facility and helped get their shoe delivery ready for distribution. They far exceeded their foal of collecting 100 pairs of shoes by collecting 262. Our founder would be proud!

East county letters: Jan. 28
Spare Maple Elementary
Re: your Jan. 19 article, "Maple School parents voice frustration":
I'm not sure of the rationale for wanting to close two area schools. Supposedly, it is because of declining enrollment and probably because of inadequate state financial support. Weren't the lottery, Indian gambling revenues and the all-powerful, know-it-all "governator" supposed to solve this? Apparently not.
The Conejo Valley Unified School District board has decided to close schools. Its choice of Maple School is the wrong one. I cannot think of a worse choice in this town.
Maple represents an ideal elementary school. It is located in the geographic center of Newbury Park. Its closure would mean children would have to be bused or somehow transported to other elementary schools. This would be dangerous for the children and inconvenient for the parents.
Maple is a beautiful school. Parent reviews rave about its safe environment, art and music programs, parent participation, special-education program and dedicated principal, teachers and staff. It just recently redesigned its playground and put in all-new equipment. It also has an ideal student-teacher ratio of 20 to 1, and it boasts high test scores.
Closing Maple will tremendously harm the 398 students who attend and their families, as well as the surrounding neighborhood. It will lead to overcrowding at other schools. In a few years, with population growth and new families moving to the area, we would need to build a new school at a greater cost to taxpayers.
I beg the school board to please reconsider this rash decision. Spare what, by all objective standards, is an ideal school, Maple School.
— Sue Gunther, Newbury Park
Symphony was special
Last week, many of our students attended a special concert presented by the New West Symphony in Oxnard. The performance was outstanding, and many students now desire to take symphony classes in middle school.
Previous to our visit, materials were sent to discuss and view on DVD. The information presented was clear and well-organized. The students were able to view several of the performers prior to the concert. The concert itself was interactive, lively and fun.
I heartily recommend these New West performances given for young people and personally believe this was the best assembly in nine years with Ventura Unified School District. What fun.
Kudos to the New West Symphony and those responsible for that performance!

The science of abortion
Re: Noel D'Angelo's Jan. 23 letter, "It's not just tissue":
D'Angelo wrties that one only has to "look at an ultrasound" to "observe the child, the fully formed body, the motions of the arms and legs" to see that this is a human being.
I have often wondered why the question of when the designation "human being" applies in the development of a zygote to an embryo to a fetus is rarely discussed.
As someone who considers herself generally pro-choice, I agree there is a point at which a fetus is a human being. I see no difference between a 7-month preemie in an incubator and a 7-month fetus in its mother's womb; both are babies who respond and react to their environment in a conscious way.
Some religions teach that a human soul is created by God at the moment of conception. This is a religious belief. In this country, we are not supposed to use our legal system to force one group's religious beliefs on others.
Viability, sometimes cited as a means of determining the point at which a fetus has rights, is a poor yardstick in today's world of medicine. Embryos are conceived outside the womb and then implanted. We are more able to support development of premature babies, albeit with significant interventions. Some have survived outside the womb from as early as 22 weeks gestation.
Come on, doctors, scientists: Talk to us. We can look at an ultrasound and see physical development. The thing that needs more public discussion is nervous system development. When does the fetus develop conscious awareness? Suffer pain? These factors should at least be taken into account when making difficult decisions about abortion. I'd like to hear them debated more.

Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard to be connected to your Senator!202-224-3121 We also ask that you send this to anyone you know so that they can do the same!MESSAGETell them to contact Senator Landrieu (D-LA) or Senator Burr (R-NC) and ask that they be included as a cosponsor for the new bill. In order to support their efforts, we need Senators to hear from you!A White House Conference is needed to focus community and national attention on the nation's most vulnerable children, and as a result, on the most critical issues facing children in the United States in the 21st century.BACKGROUNDLast Year's Cosponsos (S. 2771) Evan Bayh (D-IN) Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) Robert Casey (D-PA) Hillary Clinton (D-NY) Christopher Dodd (D-CT) Chuck Hagel (R-NE) Tim Johnson (D-SD) John Kerry (D-MA) Mary Landrieu (D-LA) Richard Lugar (R-IN) Barack Obama (D-IL) Gordon H. Smith (R-OR) Olympia Snowe (R-ME) Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) The first such conference was held in 1909 with one then being held every ten years through 1970, at which point they stopped taking place. The only other similar White House event is the White House Conference on Aging which started in the 1960's and has taken place every ten years since. In more recent Aging Conferences such as the 1993-94 event, approximately 900 separate state and local gatherings were held independently from the conference, but recognized for their input and suggestions. Such will be the model for the White House Conference on Children and Youth in 2010. CWLA called for the restoration of the event last fall and sees this an opportunity to focus community and national attention on the nation's most vulnerable children, and as a result, on the most critical issues facing children in the United States in the 21st century.
