One of the problems with my current car (a 1992, 150k mile Mercedes 190E) is that the radio won't pick up FM, which renders all the various FM transmitters I have for iPods useless. I've been looking for a cassette adapter for a little while and on Saturday I saw one in Tesco for £6.97. Considering Maplin in Worcester didn't seem to sell them and PC World sell them for a ludicrous £14.99, the Tesco price seemed like a great deal.
However, I've just done a quick search on Google Product Search (sidenote: which is a terrible name compared to its previous name, Froogle) and I apparently could have got one for 79p. Damn.

However, it also said that these changes were effected in 2005-06 when the UPA was in charge. The explanation note from the ministry came in response to allegations by Italian investigators earlier this week that business conglomerate Finmeccanica paid bribes to then IAF chief S P Tyagi to tweak the parameters to help its AgustaWestland choppers qualify for the bidding.
Tyagi has denied the allegations, first reported by The Indian Express, and has demanded an investigation.
The MoD note says that a decision to change the altitude requirements of the chopper a key factor according to the Italian probe was taken at a meeting on November 19, 2003 by then national security adviser Brajesh Mishra to avoid a single-vendor situation and to expand the search for a new chopper.
It says that the actual changes in the qualitative requirements were carried out between March 2005 and September 2006, after discussions between various stakeholders.
Operational requirements were deliberated at length between IAF, NSA, SPG/PMO and MoD between March 2005 to September 2006 and the above indicated changes (as suggested by Mishra in 2003) were incorporated (sic), the note says.
Tyagi had also said on Wednesday that the requirements were changed in 2003 on the directions of Mishra. But he had also said that no changes were made when he headed the force from 2004 to 2007.
The MoD note does not explain the two-year gap between the time the changes were agreed upon when the NDA was in power and their actual implementation. It says the Acceptance of Necessity (AON) - a formal document authorizing the purchase - was given in January 2006.
The Italian investigation report has said that AgustaWestland paid bribes after a middleman claimed he could fix the technical requirements to favour the entry of the helicopter manufacturer for the Rs 3,546-crore contract.
In his confession statement to Italian prosecutors, the Swiss-based middleman Guido Haschke has said that when he first arranged a meeting between Finmeccanica officials and Tyagi in early 2005, the specifications for the deal required the helicopter to be capable of flying at an altitude of 18,000 ft.
Haschke has also said that the first time he met Finmeccanica CEO Giuseppe Orsi in 2005, the changes had not been done. The first meeting with Orsi (Spring 2005) happened when the operational ceiling had not yet been lowered. This is what I can remember today, Haschke has said.
He also claims that over the next few months, he met Tyagi several times and the then Air Chief told him in one of these meetings that the requirements for the chopper were being lowered soon.
Tyagi informed us that the operational ceiling would be lowered. Carlo and I thanked him for coming to the office. The meeting was very short. I dont remember exactly if the operational ceiling was lowered before or after summer 2005, the middleman has said.
Haschke has also spoken of another meeting in 2006, when he says the requirements had been relaxed. During this meeting we spoke about the technical specifications of the AW101 helicopters. The operational ceiling had already been lowered, he has said.
According to the Italian investigation report, the middlemen were first paid by Finmeccanica in 2005 to try and get the specifications changed and regular payoffs in the form of phoney engineering contracts started from 2007 and continued at least until 2011.

Audubon Adventure Camp 2013 Registration Now Open!
Audubon Adventure Camp is THE summer childcare solution in downtown Columbus.
Adventure Camp headquarters is the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, located in the Scioto Audubon Metro Park, less than a mile from downtown Columbus. The property covers more than 160 acres of woods and meadows along the Scioto river front, giving summer campers a myriad of opportunities to get outdoors and play!
Outdoor fun includes guided hikes and scavenger hunts, fishing trips and field adventures, and lots of opportunities to unplug and connect with nature in the great outdoors. Kids can feel the mud ooze between their toes in the wetland, listen to birds in the forest, catch and release butterflies and dragonflies in the fields and fish along the Scioto River. Outdoor educators help them connect with the natural world and discover the amazing animals and insects all around us.
Camp Programs Audubon Adventure Camp is open to children in grades 1 – 8. Specially designed programs for each age group let children follow their interests and explore the arts, science, outdoor conservation, ecology, and more! Audubon Adventure Camp is accredited by the ACA (American Camp Association) and led by full-time, professional outdoor educators.
Easy Access and Full Day Care Weekly sessions run Monday – Friday from 9am – 4pm. Additional before and after care are available on site. Curbside drop off and pick up make getting kids there a breeze.
Camp Dates Weekly sessions begin June 10th and continue all summer long with a full day of outdoor fun and adventure for children. Camp tuition is $185 per week for Grange Insurance Audubon Center members, $200 per week for non-members. Online registration makes it fast and easy to sign your child up for an amazing summer adventure.

Welcome to the Grange Insurance Audubon Center
Exploring the Nature of ChangeLess than a 10-minute walk from downtown Columbus, on a half-forgotten bend in the Scioto River, lies a fragile green oasis, a tiny jewel, a hidden haven for wildlife and birds set amid an industrial landscape now in transformation. At the heart of this transformation will be the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, one of the first such centers in Audubon's storied history to bring hands-on conservation and nature-based learning this close to the core of a major American city.
The Grange Insurance Audubon Center in the Scioto Audubon Metro Park is located in an Important Bird Area (IBA) where thousands of birds migrating from Central and South America use this spot along the Scioto River as a stopover during their long journeys.
The restoration of the Whittier Peninsula is happening through a unique partnership of City of Columbus Recreation & Parks Department, Metro Parks and Audubon Ohio.
With the arrival of cooler weather, we invite you to come and out enjoy the Center. Our hours (now - March 31, 2013) are Tuesday - Friday 10a - 5p, Saturday 10a - 3p and Sunday Noon - 5p. Bring the kids and enjoy the play room and library where you can watch and count the birds at the feeders. No kids, bring a book and enjoy a relaxing place to catch up on your reading. Hope to see you soon!

Final Appearance | Episode 03 |
Masami Iwasawa (岩沢まさみ, Iwasawa Masami) is the leader of Girls Dead Monster, an all female band which is a part of the SSS. She is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro whilst her singing voice is by Marina.
Contents |
Iwasawa has chin-length pink-red hair with two locks of hair longer than the rest, extending to her back. Her eyes are dark red. She also wears the uniform of the SSS with her sleeves rolled up to her elbow. She wears flat calf high black boots instead of normal school shoes as well as black sweatbands on her wrists.
While usually she is rather quiet, she is able to fascinate listeners by striving to create music that speaks her thoughts and feelings.
She is very focused to making music to the point that only the fellow members of Girls Dead Monster are the only ones who are able to talk to her; she is usually described as a "music nut" by her bandmates. Even so, her usual conversations with the group are composed of plans for a new song for their next performance.
Masami later reveals that she feels uncomfortable when interacting with other people as she experienced being gossiped behind her back when she was still living, and has once showed a facade to people to actually talk to her, hiding her true feelings inside. This eventually changed when she meets Yuri, who aside from Hisako has been the first person to show sincerity towards her.
In the manga, Iwasawa can be seen to have a rather comical attitude towards her band mate, Hisako, which often result in Hisako getting angry over Iwasawa. She is often seen as stubborn (as Angel whom she mentioned to be very persistant) at the beginning but as she got to know Hisako better, Iwasawa was actually a clueless, innocent bad-in-naming-the-band girl.cryed so much when she diedBackgroundEdit
It is revealed that her parents often fought during her childhood. On one getaway from their fight, she began listening to a band called Sad Machine and stumbled into the world of music and began her music career. However just when she was just getting into the business she became ill and fainted at a part time job that she was working at. She was diagnosed to have a cerebral contusion which resulted from her trying to stop a fight between her parents and her father hit her head with a glass beer bottle. Unable to either move or speak, she spent the rest of her life in a hospital bed paralyzed.
Iwasawa is the leader of the band Girls Dead Monster, also known as GirlDeMo. As well as being the leader she is in charge of the vocals and is the rhythm guitarist of the group. She is also the one who writes the lyrics and composes the music for the band's songs. The songs are then used as performance pieces for concerts which turns out to be a diversion for the NPC students while the SSS proceeds with their plans to eliminate Angel.
Arrival into the AfterlifeEdit
This section contains content from Angel Beats! Heaven's Door.Way before the forming of Girls Dead Monster, Iwasawa also experienced being a freshman in the Afterlife school. She finds herself waking up on one of the benches inside the campus, and upon hearing her voice for the first time since her accident, she rushes to the first thing that she wanted to hold on: a guitar.
Upon that same day, Iwasawa takes the attention of the students and, eventually, the Student Council and the faculty. While Angel is more calm in asking her to return to class, the faculty members are stern in confiscating her guitar.
In one occasion, she is forced to flee when she continues her guitar-playing antics, and there, she meets Hisako.[1] Hisako continuously asked Iwasawa to form a band with her which the latter refused. It was only after their first live performance then Iwasawa agreed to form a band with her.
Following Masami's decision to join Hisako in a band, they started performances throughout various locations inside the campus. Their music took the attention of the student body and the faculty alike, and as they make new fans, they also learn to escape the teachers who always try to confiscate their instruments
Meeting the Afterlife War FrontEdit
During one of their performances at school, Hisako and Iwasawa meet Yuri for the first time and was asked to join the Afterlife War Front. Masami thought that Yuri acted like an evangelist that goes around to recruit others, and Yuri's explanation did not change her impression of her. Masami later decides to use Yuri so that they can look for more members to their band, as she wanted someone to take over the bassist and drum positions, which they currently lacked.
Operation TornadoEdit
The very first concert was held in episode 1 during "Operation Tornado" (they performed "Crow Song" in the concert). During this episode it is shown that GirlDeMo is a well known and popular band as the students/fans get very excited and happy over their performance before and after it starts. In this episode they held the concert to gather the students together in the same area so that they could collect meal tickets from them by having the rest of the SSS turn on large powerful fans when the concert was at its climax. This blew the meal tickets out of the students pockets and hands away into the air which they collected and used for themselves as a means to get food. Whilst the concert was proceeding the rest of the SSS was in charge of fending off Angel to stall for time until the operation was completed and successful.
Final PerformanceEdit
In a rehearsal with her band the day before another performance, she comes across Otonashi and tells him of her past as a living person. On the day of her performance (they performed "Alchemy"), Angel – and later, the faculty – gain knowledge of the performance and prepare to stop it even if they have to use force. Despite the demands of the students against the sudden shutdown of the concert, the faculty continues. As one teacher takes the replica of Iwasawa's first guitar when she was living, she steals it back from his hands and performs the last song that she composed titled "My Song" : a ballad which tells about how suffering makes one more human. During the start of the song band member Hisako manages to escape from one of the teachers grasp and dashes to the control room which she then manages to turn on all the speakers inside the building and so the song Iwasawa is playing is broadcasted throughout the entire school. After the solo performance, she disappears after finding peace and passing on, leading her comrades to question whether following Angel's orders is the only reason people disappear, if it is really that bad and what awaits them if they do find peace.After Iwasawa's disappearance, her guitar is taken to the SSS headquarters, where it is under the care of the remaining members. After that Yui took her place as Lead Vocalist in Girls Dead Monster.
Iwasawa on guitarEdit
For fans who are able to play guitar with chords, Iwasawa's fingers at episode 3 where she played My Song were the accurate chords for the song itself.
Despite disappearing at Episode 3, Iwasawa was still consistently being mentioned for the rest of the series. Most notable was when Angel walks around while humming My Song at the last episode, and at Episode 12 when the rest of GirlsDeMo look up to her acoustic guitar and Yui's electric guitar.In episode 4's opening theme (GirlsDeMo version of My Soul, Your Beats!) when Yui was singing, one of the cut scenes showed Iwasawa's guitar behind the desk of the Anti-Angel Headquarters. The painting shown at the back seems to be referring to Iwasawa as "Soul Singer/Music".
- Iwasawa was a contestant of the voting contest Anime Saimoe Tournament 2010 but lost to Aoi Yamada in the second round of the main tournament, one of only three Angel Beats! contestants to reach past round one.
- On the cover of Angel Beats! Track Zero, she is the only one who does not wear the GirlsDeMo accessory (worn on their thigh).
- She is usually attributed to crows in the manga.
- In Chapter 14 of Heaven's Door manga, Iwasawa was mistaken to be having an erotic relationship with Hisako by Angel.
- At the Heaven's Door Afterword, Maeda Jun mentioned a sentence "Asami-san, in the short time we're working together, let's devote our lives to Angel Beats!" does not refer to Iwasawa, but instead refer to the manga artist Asami Yuriko.
- It is rumoured that the upcoming Angel Beats! game will include stories of Iwasawa while she is still present in the Afterlife.
- Iwasawa's last "composition" could be either, as mentioned in the anime, Thousand Enemies, or, released half a year after the end of the series, Last Song. A short manga and 4 panel comic is featured in Last Song album, hinting that Last Song could be the actual "last song" by Iwasawa.
- In Episode 3, it can be implied that Iwasawa gave an indirect kiss to Otonashi after giving him her bottle of water, though he was not seen drinking it.
- There is a confusion between Iwasawa's given name to be either Masami or Asami あさみ. According to the official guidebook, Iwasawa's name is confirmed to be Masami まさみ, in hiragana, and not in kanji.
- She is one of the characters with a revealed death. The other being Otonashi and Hinata.

Enforceable arbitration clauses are usually the result of a contract between parties. But does that work in probate law, where beneficiaries rarely sign contracts, and the most important party is always dead?

While the rules for compelling or avoiding arbitration are clearly defined for a variety of civil practice areas, the scope of alternative dispute resolution is much less clear in probate law. Is an arbitration clause in a trust enforceable? That question is front and center in Hal Rachal Jr. v. John W. Reitz, a case of first impression argued Nov 7. before the Texas Supreme Court.

Allen Fieldhouse one of college basketball's must-see venues
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013
Updated: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 08:03
Was it crazy?
Yeah, probably.
Cramming five friends in a car, driving 2,000 miles and nearly 30 hours over the course of four days doesn't exactly sound appealing.
But after opening the front doors of Allen Fieldhouse and taking a step inside, I knew it was worth every mile.
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's some background information:
Thursday night, myself and four other media members decided to drive to Lawrence, Kan., to watch West Virginia take on No. 6 Kansas Saturday afternoon.
The Jayhawks are housed inside the most storied arena in college basketball, and it was a venue on all of our bucket lists.
We arrived in Lawrence Friday afternoon and made our first trek through the concourse of Allen Fieldhouse. We toured the arena home to Wilt Chamberlain's jersey, the 2008 national championship trophy and a hall displaying information on the program's 55 conference championships and 14 Final Four appearances.
Behind a glass display, there were the 13 original rules of basketball written by former Kansas head coach James Naismith – the inventor of the sport.
Only a couple hours had passed, and I was already blown away by the history and rich tradition of the 58-year-old arena.
When Saturday morning and gameday arrived, the experience became even more impressive.
After walking by the thousands of fans lined up outside more than two and a half hours before tipoff, I took a seat at midcourt and marveled at my surroundings.
I looked up at the banners decorating the rafters of the arena.
I walked out onto the court from the perspective of a visiting team, passing under the sign "Pay heed, all who enter: Beware of 'The Phog'" (The Phog referencing former KU head coach Phog Allen, for whom the venue is named).
Then the students, who were let in two hours before the game, sprinted in an attempt to secure seats as close to the action as possible. The general public followed, though at a much slower pace, and Allen Fieldhouse was filled by 16,300 screaming Kansas fans for the 196th consecutive game.
Before the Jayhawks starting lineup was introduced, a pregame video was shown.
And not to take a poke a WVU, but it wasn't exactly centered around the musical stylings of Sean Kingston.
Clips of Naismith, Danny Manning, Wilt Chamberlain, Paul Pierce and many other storied alumni were shown.
As an avid consumer of college basketball, goosebumps covered my arms and neck for the duration of the video.
The game began shortly after, and the capacity crowd was the loudest of any basketball crowd I've ever heard.
The Jayhawks blew out the Mountaineers on the court, and all in attendance stayed until the end, while the echoes of the "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk ... KU" chant reverberated off the ceiling of the Phog.
It is more than just basketball in Lawrence, Kan.; it's a way of life.
For Jayhawk fans, a Saturday is completely centered around Kansas basketball.
You go early, you stay late and you stand and cheer on your hometown team for an entire 40 minutes ... No matter the score.
Driving halfway across the country to see a basketball team run away with a 91-65 win may not sound like something you have to experience.
But if that drive takes you to Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, it will be worth every second.
Add a Kansas home basketball game to your bucket list if you haven't already.

The retail price of 93 octane petrol and 95 octane petrol will increase by 21 cents and 23 cents per litre respectively on Wednesday October 3' the Department of Energy announced on Friday.

This increase' the department said' was necessary in order for service station operators to finance the wage increases for service station pump attendants and cashiers agreed upon at the Motor Industry Bargaining Council (MIBCO) in September 2010.
This increase in the retail margin to accommodate wage increases is ring-fenced and should be excluded from determining rental fees between service station operators and service station investors' the department said.

U.S. Rep. Todd Akin said he has doubts about the constitutionality of Medicare and thinks global warming "is highly suspect." [...]
Akin's remarks questioning the constitutionality of Medicare came as he was explaining his vote against prescription coverage under the medical plan for seniors and people with disabilities. He said it was too expensive, and "it was expanding an entitlement I wasn't too comfortable with to begin with."
Asked about the remarks after the meeting, Akin said, "I don't find in the Constitution that it is the job of the government to provide health care."
Akin is hardly the first Republican nominated for the Senate this year who holds views that place him well outside the American mainstream. Recently nominated Texas Tea Partier Ted Cruz wants to privatize Social Security and believes that billionaire investor George Soros is leading a global United Nations conspiracy to eliminate the game of golf. Similarly, New York Republican candidate Wendy Long believes that national child labor laws and the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters are unconstitutional.
If elected, Akin would join at least two other Republican senators who believe that Medicare is unconstitutional. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) delivered a lecture while he was campaigning for his current job in which he stated that "health care" is not something that can be addressed by the federal government. Likewise, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) told a town hall meeting in 2011 that protecting the "frail elderly" is "a family responsibility, not a government responsibility."

Broomball: The action in broomball is much like hockey with a ball substituting for the puck. The object, like hockey, is to propel the ball using a stick and get the ball in a goal. What makes it fun is it's played on ice, but players don't have to know how to skate. They just run on the ice.

He shares, "Just wanted to let everybody know that I'm doing good after the surgery. I had a discectomy and cervical fusion. Thank you for your prayers for me and my family." He just returned to the stage earlier this week and elaborates, "Everything went well but this has been a little more challenging than I thought... I hope to see you somewhere out there soon. No more pain in the neck!"


text: Birdscarer - the ultimate scarecrowIf you are searching for any of the following topics: Look no further. You'll find it at Clarratts Limited! You've reached the home of Clarratts Ltd, manufacturers of the famous range of inflatable birdscarer scarecrows. The Scarey Man® birdscarer and pest deterrent system is proved to be amongst the most effective on the market. The Scarey Man is a unique birdscarer, electronically operated; inflating to a commanding height; displays and collapses on a controlled time basic; Emits loud noise on display and illuminates for night work; Both are independently switched on all models; displays about every 18 minutes for 25 seconds and rises and falls while displaying. The entire birdscarer operation can be automatically controlled to the hours of daylight or darkness by light sensor, or a pre-set timer can be fitted giving 4 set periods of pest control during 24 hours. Powered by a 12 volt battery fitted inside or outside the base unit impervious to most weather conditions. What the Press have to sayImagine you're a wood pigeon. Heaven for you is a nice big field full of rape seedlings. You, and a hundred others, descend and get stuck in. Advancing like a great, grey carpet, you potter over the figure it rears up before you with outstretched arms. From somewhere in its bright orange midriff a siren screams. The figure rocks and shudders as if in apoplectic rage. It's Scarey Man! All around wings clap frantically as you and your friends fling themselves into the sky, desperate to flee this nightmare vision, this Mr. Blobby on Elm Street. Within seconds, the field is clear, Scarey Man falls silent, and sinks back to the ground, his job done. But this isn't his last word. He will repeat the performance with unflagging gusto every 20 minutes. On into the darkness he will work, adding a glaring light to his repertoire of terror, and scattering sundry deer, rabbits and badgers. Scarey Man's needs are few, a fan to inflate his plastic body, a car battery to power the fan and a timer to switch it on and off. Born in 1984, he is still one of the most effective birdscarers ever invented. Thousands of his clones stand guard in fields as far apart as Sweden and Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Tasmania, Canada and Kuwait. Scarey Man is the brainchild of Brian Barratt, a Cambridgeshire farmer and agricultural supplier. He developed a colleague's flash of inspiration (triggered by the sight of a black bin bag blown up by a gust of wind) into a steady little earner that is highly valued by arable farmers. Can you imagine a better way of inducing avian terror? Daily Telegraph 21 March 1998 At Clarratts Limited, you'll discover an easy to use, information packed web site.

Fitness & being healthy are god given rights that we all have, but so very few of us in fact "exercise" at all. The reason for this primarily is the level of doctrine we are fed through the telivision, radios, social media and so forth. You may ask how this could be? Well, it is quite artfully done, and before going into the first topic we will discuss (which will be on fluoride), please let me explain. Ok, very little is as it appears, and instead of the government wanting to help us - it is exactly the opposite! Yes, the upper levels of society, and more so the ruling elite (who have been in control for thousands of years), in fact want to reduct the population of the planet via various 'slow kill' programmes - as hard as this is to believe, fluoride is one such tool they use - read on...
The dangers of fluoride within our water
Fluoride is one of the most common substances added to water in most North American cities in order to supposedly improve the dental health of the population, including caries and plaque problems. It is important to know that fluoride is not essential for the body. In fact, the body does not need fluoride to stay healthy and keep your teeth without caries. The type of fluorine found in nature is calcium fluoride. Calcium fluoride is not really absorbed by the body and is not important for good dental health. Note that the type of fluoride found in fluoridated water is 85 times more toxic than calcium fluoride.
It all began in the 1940s, when aluminum industries, nuclear weapons and the dental industry have agreed to convince the public that fluoride was important to prevent tooth decay. In other words, fluoride is the product of industrial waste. Since they did not know how to get rid of this toxic product, these industries have convinced the public that fluoride should be added to water in order to maintain good dental health. In addition to containing fluoride, these wastes also contain heavy metals such as lead and arsenic that are discharged in the treated water. For all you need to know visit http://fluoride.mercola.com/
Fluoride is considered by the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances the 20th most toxic substance and thus, it should be avoided as much as possible. In short, fluoride interferes with the development of the endocrine glands, it causes dental fluorosis, it decreases the IQ and the capacity of learning and it increases the risk of fractures, cancer and neurological disorders (such Alzheimer's disease).
For these reasons, it is strongly recommended not to use fluoridated water to dissolve the milk powder for babies. On the other hand, if you like to drink tea, you should consume organic brands since they contain no or very little fluorine. In fact, trademarks are known to contain quantities of fluoride that can be toxic.
You should also avoid also all toothpastes containing fluoride. About the risks of dental fluorosis, a discoloration of teeth due to excess fluoride, the authorities argue that it "is not considered a toxic effect" and it fades with time, but this is far from being true, as numerous cases of children who have been overexposed to fluoride have been documented. Children under 6 years who ingest large amounts of fluoride during the tooth formation may develop fluorosis. The white or brown spots alter the appearance of the teeth, but not their function. However, excessive intake of fluoride can damage the enamel and be a source of pain and chewing problems. Once children reach the age of 6 or 7, their teeth are fully formed and apparently the risk of fluorosis disappears.
Finally, if you live in an area where water is fluoridated, it is essential to eliminate as much as possible with a good filtration system. It is also important to know that fluoride is not volatile and thus cannot be eliminated completely through a filtration system, so you may want to consider bottled water without fluoride.
Why be Conscious about Health? Unfortunately we only get one body per lifetime, so we best be sure that we look after it as best we can. Sickness and becoming unwell is a progressive action, so to reverse the process will also take time.
As I myself have suffered from ill health for such a long period of time, I feel it somewhat of a responsibility to assist others who are also having difficulties in the area of health.
Ever wondered what separates those that look good & those that don't? Well, much of it comes down to the body / mind interface. What is this, you may ask? Well, it is all about being sensitive to your vessel's needs, and then acting on it.

The 'Best Supporting Actress' winner, who won for her turn in last year's The Fighter, declared when collecting her Oscar that Kate Winslet two years ago made it look "so f**king easy".
However, speaking to E! Online afterwards, she conceded: "I didn't mean to offend!
"There are a lot of words in the English vernacular... But it wasn't appropriate."
The Fighter picked up two awards on the night from its seven nominations, with Leo's co-star Christian Bale also winning for 'Best Supporting Actor'.

That episode was awesome. I guess I'm amazed this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. What was remarkable was that nobody up and left or got their lights punched out. I have been skipping most of the YMIW, a bit of Pete Holmes burn-out, but the live ones are usually pretty good, as the comedians have a chance to play off someone other than Pete, who is really mostly interested in talking about Pete. I really really liked the Clerks voicemails, pretty easy to imagine how excited they must have been to be receiving all that attention. I don't know why but Emo Kev cracks me up to no end. Smodcast is a good one for doing yard work as its pretty easy to not really listen to big swaths of it, take that as you will.
I saw a bit of Shumer's latest, and yes, the idea that she is a desperate is ridiculous. It is also just her act. Pretty sure all Shumer needs to do is look at how successful Chelsey Lately's has been with her "I'm a very pretty drunken bimbo." act and do the math. I don't think she suffers from self esteem issues. After all, she recently dumped Dolph Ziggler, who had pursued her....
God damn, but this CBB with Amy Poehler and Jason Mantzoukas is good. I think my favorite part so far has been the Lightning Quiz, but James Adomian's character's interactions with Amy have been priceless.
The trick of throwing and extra "L" into words had me gasping I was laughing so hard. I wonder how it plays with people not aware of the loathsome Tom Leykis.
Perfectly well, cos I never heard of the guy but found the routine hilarious. Looking up Tom Leykis on Wikipedia makes me okay with never having heard of him.
James Adomian is a genius. The latest episode, with BJ Novak, Wyatt Cenac and Key & Peele, is also pretty good. Love me some K&P.
If you're a Chris Elliot fan - and God only knows why you wouldn't be - then you need to hear last week's The Best Show On WFMU. Chris Elliot and Adam Resnick are in the studio for the whole three hours, and they get into incredible detail on the making of Get A Life and the utterly baffling Cabin Boy. It's literally one of the best interviews I've ever heard.
The season finale of The Pod F Tompkast absolutely knocked it out of the park. I always love Advice for the Probably Dead, but I was dying as Paul showed near-admiration for the effort a 1970s era perv put into his creeping. The segment around freeing Jen Kirkman from the internet was great as well. And, uh, STEP TO ME WITH PIE AND I'LL HAVE TA BOOTCHA! Oh yeah, an' I can see da futcha.
Doug Loves Movies has been a nice roll lately, too. There's an amazing eppy from a couple of weeks ago with Tig Notaro, Nick Kroll, Kurt Metzger and first-timer John Hodgman, who's exactly as good at The Leonard Maltin game as you'd expect.
Jesus the Pod F Tomkast is too funny. Makes me feel like a crazy cackling in my room alone with headphones on.
I downloaded the first episode Brian Posehn's new podcast, Nerd Poker. The concept is that you're sitting in on D&D sessions with Brian Posehn's group. It's not bad, but ultimately it is just about as funny as hanging out with any D&D group is. Maybe it'll get better as the group gets more comfortable with being recorded. It does make me miss the yearly official D&D podcasts with Gabe, Tycho, Scott Kurtz and Wil Wheaton, which I always enjoyed. Also, goddam, the whole Jeshirts.com thing is killing me.
Oh, and by the way... NEW SUPEREGO EPPY CAME OUT THIS WEEK! Not only that, Rob Delaney almost steals the episode.
Just got back from seeing Hardwick do standup here in Nashville. Good show. If he comes to your town, you should check him out. He was working on new material, but I'd say 75% of the show was crowdwork.
It's time to womp up the jamz, motherlovers! Coming to you live from the Marina Del Rey Public Library Marissa Wompler and Miss Listler bring you the Christmas Womptacular!
May I just say, this might be the funniest thing I have heard out of Earwolf, ever. And I am a huge CBB fan... Part of me wishes this was a regular podcast, and the other part of me knows that the quality could only drop if they tried to do it weekly...
I think I would quickly get tired of a podcast that relied on characters and only characters week after week. There needs to be some reality in there for it to work for me. But that was pretty damn Womptacular.
Is it just me, or are all the best comedy duos out there right now women? There's Jessica St. Clair/Lennon Parham, Jamie Denbo/Jessica Chaffin (Ronna & Beverly) and Garfunkel & Oates, to name but a few. Can't wait to hear the Womptacular plus other stuff I've been saving for my drive to see my family on Sunday.
Just listened to the CBB Christmas special. Fucking killed. I am not a fan of Matt Besser's comedy, but I could listen to him as Bjork any time. And goddam, I just love Harris Wittels. The Womptacular was fun, but I donno if they might not have done the characters a disservice by giving voice to Gutterballs and Seth. I love Jason Mantzoukas just about any time, but the problem with Gutterman was that it was mostly just Mantzoukas playing himself.
I actually thought Mantzoukas did a great job of restraining his normal instinct to be over the top. I am not sure whether I would want him on with Wompler every time, but as a once off, I liked both characters.
I really liked this one, I've been prostrate with illness and this is a perfect listen whilst fading in and out of fevery consciousness. Kinda makes me want to dip my toe back in. Thanks.
He did it again! This one had me crying. Holy crap. I've always found Doug's irritation with people not playing the game and following the rules hilarious and he begins this show irritated. It is only undermined by the fact that he knew going in he wasn't going to get anything done and he pretty much just lets the three of them bounce off each other.
After resuming regular podcasts over the last few months, You Look Nice Today is officially coming to an end. A sad day for my favorite comedy podcast :( Dear Fun Bunch, No new episode today—we're draining the waterbed and fanning out the bathroom. YLNT is coming to a close.— You Look Nice Today (@ylnt) February 2, 2013 We'll do a final bye-bye episode, to be released in the next couple of weeks. We *will* be recording that one in the nude.— You Look Nice Today (@ylnt) February 2, 2013
Listening to the latest CBB. I find the idea of them having someone pretend to be Sarah Silverman a little weird since they've had the real Sarah Silverman on several times and she's a good friend of Scott's. I also never care for musicians on CBB. It's Comedy Bang Bang, not Music Bang Bang, dammit. And the main guest's show, The Burn on Comedy Central, sounds dreadful. The next episode features the return of Gillian 'Gilly (Sorry)' Jacobs and her beau Garry Marshall, so that's a good way to make up for a bummer of a Monday ep.
Hah, is that what was happening? Somehow that did not occur to me, even though I have been listening to CBB for a couple of years now. I just figured she was being weird and playing a cariacature of herself. Because you're right, she's been on the show several times, so there is absolutely no reason to think it wouldn't really be her on the show. I should have been tipped off by her not talking about her boyfriend and roommate sleeping in bunk beds.
Holy shit, this ep of CBB with Gillian Jacobs and PFT as Garry Marshall is one of the funniest I've ever heard. And I have a newfound crush on GJ.
There's a new podcast out there called Put Your Hands Together, which is the replacement show for Comedy Bang Bang! (formerly Comedy Death Ray, formerly not a thing*) that runs after Doug Loves Movies at the UCB in Los Angeles. Like Death Ray, it's a stand-up showcase, and the podcast so far has been pretty strong. It's also neat to hear stand-ups doing actual stand-up on a podcast, instead of improv or character bits or whatever. I listened to the one with Kyle Kinane, and he was hilarious. * 1.

TERRIBLE NEWS Oh man, YLNT is the best. I only discovered it a few months ago and I binge-listened to the entire back catalog in like a week. Man, this sucks. No word on why, I guess?
The WTF interviews Marc Maron does with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner are fantastic. As a kid raised on Mel Brooks movies, listening to him talk is always a comfort. His accent, his cadence, his comedy, all of it. Being Jewish probably doesn't hurt. But I love hearing about both of their lives and the way they influenced so many comedians is priceless. Also, the podcasts were visually stunning.
If you're a Dan Harmon fan, on the 2.5 hour podcast of the return L.A. show Harmontown did upon returning from their tour, Marc Maron has some long, very funny stories on that episode about some stuff that got cut from the Brooks and Reiner interviews.
CBB is hitting it out of the park lately. Be sure and check out the newest one with Jason Mantzoukas (sp?) and Andy Daly as one of his typically depraved characters.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman sounds a lot like Jesse Ventura. And Scott's nephew Todd is, uhhh, terrible-uh. There's a character-uh I never-uh need to hear again-uh! Also, the megamix at the end of the last HDTGM preview is literally the greatest thing ever. When you listen you might think 'what is happening?! This is garbage!' But it really is next-level bonkers.
