As a Texas burn injury survivor or the family of someone who was killed in a burn accident, you have most likely gone through both physical and emotional trauma. Our Texas burn attorneys will help you recover for your pain, suffering, disfigurement, emotional distress, and other elements of your personal injury case.
Depending upon the facts of your case, you may be compensated for permanent disfigurement, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The determination of damages an injured victim is entitled to varies from case to case. A detailed examination of the cause of the burn accident and of severity of the injuries suffered is required to properly evaluate your Texas burn injury claim. It is important that when a serious and catastrophic injury, such as a burn injury occurs while at work, that an attorney be retained as quickly as possible after the accident so that evidence be preserved.

Only be friends with people you actually like.
Last week, our own Edan Lepucki interviewed her copyeditor. This week at Tin House, executive editor Michelle Wildgen reflects on what she has learned from being both an editor and writer. Her biggest discovery: "The whole thing should be a conversation."
Following the news that Beyoncé sampled a TED talk by Year in Reading contributor Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, Tin House dug up an interview with the author, who says that to this day, when she looks at the manuscript of Americanah, she feels "thrilled and amazed that [she] actually finished writing this."
before I likened waking up to a car crash, equated walking to a free fall, working in the yard to grave digging, cooking food for the family to slathering glue on the walls, dotting the glue with beads, with jewels, when I likened weeping to camouflage, opening mail to defusing a bomb, when my wife began to say, "Only if you really want to," before I developed the habit of pretending I wasn't looking at her, when the eye was an apology hole, when the face was a piece of wood under the couch, when the couch kept the body from crashing through the floor and beyond
"I am an invisible man. No I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe: Nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms.I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids- and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me."
― Ralph Ellison
Happy Birthday Ralph Ellison!
"A month ago, I touched a lock of Sylvia Plath's hair."
Tin House looks at the intense relationship between the poet and her fans.

No telling the fortune of this rare Gypsy
VIRGINIA CITY, Mont. — The Gypsy sat for decades in a restaurant amid the Old West kitsch that fills this former gold-rush town, her unblinking gaze greeting the tourists who shuffled in from the creaking wooden sidewalk outside.
Some mistook her for Zoltar, the fortunetelling machine featured in the Tom Hanks movie "Big." Others took one look at those piercing eyes and got the heebie-jeebies so bad that they couldn't get away fast enough.
Until a few years ago, nobody, not even its owner, knew the nonfunctioning machine gathering dust in Bob's Place was an undiscovered treasure sitting in plain sight in this ghost town turned tourist attraction.
The 100-year-old fortuneteller was a rare find. Instead of dispensing a card like Zoltar, the Gypsy would speak your fortune from a hidden record player. When you dropped a nickel into the slot, her eyes would flash, her teeth would chatter and her voice would come floating from a tube extending out of the 8-foot-tall box.
Word got out when the Montana Heritage Commission began restoring the Gypsy more than five years ago. Collectors realized the machine was one of only two or three "verbal" fortunetellers left in the world.
One of those collectors, magician David Copperfield, said he thinks it is even rarer than that.
"I think it's only one of one," Mr. Copperfield said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press.
Mr. Copperfield wanted the Gypsy to be the crown jewel in his collection of turn-of-the-century penny arcade games. It would occupy a place of pride among the magician's mechanized Yacht Race, Temple of Mystery and various machines that tested a person's strength.
Mr. Copperfield acknowledged approaching the curators about buying the Gypsy a few years ago, but declined to say what he offered. Janna Norby, the Montana Heritage Commission curator of collections who received the call from Mr. Copperfield's assistant, said the offer was in the ballpark of $2 million, along with a proposal to replace it with another fortunetelling machine. On top of that, he pledged to promote Virginia City in advertisements.
But Heritage Commission curators, representing the Gypsy's owner - the state of Montana - rejected the idea, saying that cashing in on this piece of history would be akin to selling their soul.
"If we start selling our collection for money, what do we have?" said Ms. Norby.
The commission's acting director, Marilyn Ross, echoed Ms. Norby's sentiments: "That is not something we would ever consider, selling off these antiques."
That dismissal has set collectors grumbling. Theo Holstein, a California collector and renovator of such machines, said he thinks the Gypsy is wasted in Virginia City and should be placed in a private collection for proper care. He said he is trying to gather investors to make a $3 million bid that would top Mr. Copperfield's offer.
"They don't have any idea what they have. It's like they have the world's best diamond and they just pulled it out of their mine shaft," Mr. Holstein said. "It's good that it's there and it survived, but now it really needs to be part of the world."
Mr. Holstein said he wouldn't be surprised if the machine ultimately sold for $10 million or more. Mr. Copperfield also said he is still interested in purchasing it.

Jasper Gaunt, Ph.D. / Faces of Power: Portraiture in the Greco-Roman World
In this lecture, Gaunt describes in great details the origins of portaits throughout Roman Art. Thousands of years before the first photograph, Greek artists learned to immortalize their heroes in portraits. While the Greeks did not invent the art of portraiture, they were the first to fully exploit its many uses. Lecture date: October 8, 2008

THE LOCALS make an absolute killing hiring out their homes. Some flats are nicer than others. This year's is a beauty, though the owner's library consists largely of SAS survival guides. It could have been worse. We heard of another two-bed flat that we could hire at an amazing price. We went to see it - and couldn't work out why it was so cheap - it had beautiful furnishings and large bedrooms. Then we were told the catch. We were to have a house guest - a 12ft boa constrictor. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to relax after a hard day's work sharing a room with a life-threatening reptile. The owner insisted the snake would be perfectly harmless, so long as we fed it a diet of mice. She then took us to the freezer, and showed us a bag of frozen rodents, which would apparently be very tasty if microwaved.

Half the man he used to be: Boy George shows off his stunning weight loss at theatre awards
It's no secret that he has struggled to keep off the pounds in recent years.
But it seems as though Boy George's New Year resolution was to drop the excess weight as he showcased his slimmed down frame at the 2013 WhatsOnStage.com Awards.
Pictured arriving on the red carpet at Palace Theatre in London on Sunday evening, the 51-year-old was almost unrecognisable.

Turning back the years, Boy George, real name George Alan O'Dowd, barely filled out his suit, which he clearly purchased in his heavier days.
Wearing a beige baker boy hat which was decorated with buttons and wool string, George added the usual touch of glamour to his appearance with a coating of make-up.
But choosing to do something a bit out of the ordinary, the singer highlighted his chiseled cheekbones with the help of his stubbly beard.

PREVIEW-Olympics-Volleyball-Brazil teams look big favourites
LONDON, July 19
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON, July 19 (Reuters) - Brazilian flair and togetherness, coupled with an extraordinary amount of experience, make their men's and women's volleyball teams the big favourites for glory at the London Olympics.
In the men's arena, world champions Brazil will be gunning for a third Games title and look a better bet than current Olympic champions the United States, who will still hope for a podium spot.
Volleyball was introduced to the Olympics at the 1964 Games in Tokyo and since then has been a stalwart for the four-yearly event with the United States and Brazil winning five of the last seven men's golds.
The United States surprisingly beat Brazil in the final in Beijing four years ago but charismatic Brazilian coach Bernardo Rezende is back for another crack after 11 years in the job.
Experience also comes in the form of Gilberto Amauri de Godoy Filho, known as Giba, who was instrumental in helping Brazil win gold in Athens in 2004.
The 35-year-old captain, hoping to play in his fourth Olympics, has a titanium rod in his left leg to help heal a fracture.
While Rezende has kept most of his squad in tact, including son and ace setter Bruno, the United States have lost one of their most inspirational players.
Captain and setter Lloy Ball retired after the 2008 Games but coach Alan Knipe still boasts the likes of powerful outside hitter Reid Priddy.
Among the Europeans, Russia, Poland and Italy should be among the medal contenders but European champions Serbia will only be dark horses without the outstanding Ivan Miljkovic, who has retired from international volleyball.
Poland's 23-year-old spiker Bartosz Kurek is one of the biggest new names in world volleyball and could leave his devastating mark in London, where video technology will not be used despite trials elsewhere in the sport.
Bulgaria clinched the final Olympic berth after winning a qualification tournament in June but coach Radostin Stoychev and top player Matey Kaziyski quit immediately afterwards, accusing officials of interfering in domestic leagues.
Bulgaria open the men's pool phase on July 29 against hosts Great Britain, participating in Olympics volleyball for the first time. The 12 teams are in two pools with the top four from each going into the quarter-finals
The women take to the Earl's Court arena in west London, the opposite side of the city from the Olympic Park, from July 28.
Brazil are widely expected to retain their crown but world champions Russia and Italy could run them close with European champions Serbia and Turkey are not to be dismissed. (Additional reporting by Angel Krasimirov and Zoran Milosavljevic; Editing by Peter Rutherford)

Top 10 Duncan Bowles 4 Dec 2013 - 06:45
Duncan salutes his personal choice of the 2013 action movies that deserved just a little more love...
This article contains spoilers for each of the films mentioned. Not necessarily big ones, but you might want to steer clear of The World's End entry if you've not seen that.
2013 has been a great year for action. We've had multiple comic book heroes fighting it out on the big screen, with Thor and Iron Man continuing Marvel's run of great movies, the return of the R-rated antics of Kick-Ass and at long last an F-bomb loaded, bloody incarnation of The Wolverine (though it's worth pointing out that the unrated edition in the UK only comes with the 3D version of the home release, a trend I hope doesn't continue).

The actor and singer on the enduring appeal of the Who, the unspoilt charm of Sicily – and why Singin' in the Rain was the happiest night out in London
Patsy Kensit is an actor, singer and author and was born in Hounslow, London. Her mother was a publicist and her father an associate of the Kray twins. Patsy began acting at the age of four, appearing in an advert for Birdseye frozen peas. In 1972 she had her first big screen role in For the Love of Ada. Two years later she appeared in The Great Gatsby alongside Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, whom she later portrayed in a biopic titled Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story. In her late teens she fronted the band Eighth Wonder, who had two top 20 hits. At the same time she starred in Absolute Beginners, Julien Temple's musical adaptation of Colin Macinnes's novel. »

This is it. This is the end, the weekend where television goes all a bit crappy once again. Sunday night sees the final airing of Breaking Bad, which is certainly the best TV show of our time (Tm). Spanning fives seasons, and five bloody brilliant years, Breaking Bad was one of those shows that got better and better as the seasons went on, and to all of those who haven't seen the sheer brilliance from creator Vince Gilligan and his team, well, I'm envious of you, as you have the opportunity to see it all for the first time. Off you go then…
As we prepare ourselves to deal with the withdrawl, here's a light-hearted look at the five key cast-members from the show, and some video footage from television appearances 'Before Breaking Bad.'

It comes as no surprise that film sets and locations have been reused throughout the history of the movies. The fact that many of these locations are within or around Los Angeles, a city whose very ontology includes Hollywood and film business, is equally predictable. Yet these locations, distorted to us through the magic of movie production and narrative engagement, hold significant value to the residents of Los Angeles, particularly California Institute of the Arts film instructor Thom Andersen, using what he saw as the denigration of his beloved city on screen to begin a lecture and, ultimately, a film: Los Angeles Plays Itself. "I live here," he begins his narration through Encke King over a series of establishing shots of the city from various films. "Sometimes I think this gives me the right to criticize the ways movies depict my city. »

Directed by Shane Black ("Lethal Weapon 2"), the third installment of the "Iron Man" franchise follows Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) as his world is torn apart by the terrorist the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). When Stark's family life is affected by the evil villain, he embarks on a journey to find out who is responsible.
Why We're In: "Iron Man 3," Moviefone's #1 movie of 2013 so far, is different from its two predecessors in that it shows a new, vulnerable side of Tony Stark we'd yet to see. Filled with more serious emotion rarely found in superhero films, this third installment was a refreshing and much needed surprise to the genre.
Moviefone's Top Blu-ray of the Week:
"3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman: 'Stromboli - Terra Di Dio' | 'Europe '51' | 'Journey to Italy'" (Criterion Collection)

Feature James Stansfield 29 Aug 2013 - 07:00
James makes the case for just how geeky CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, soon to enter its ninth season, really is...
In a few weeks, the final season of How I Met Your Mother will be underway and the most long-winded romance of the last ten years will come to a close when Ted Mosby reveals to his children just how he came to meet the one they call mum. Putting aside the small fact that there is something just a bit weird about your dad sitting you down to recount the nine-year tale of all the women he ever slept with (this was acknowledged in the very funny promo for season nine), How I Met Your Mother has grown from some humble beginnings to one of America's leading, mainstream sitcoms. As a Friends-style sitcom, it isn't the sort of »

New Line Cinema's latest comedy We're the Millers is released in UK cinemas this week. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber – who also wrote and directed fan-favorite Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story – the film follows a faux-family who are attempting to smuggle drugs into America.
We got the chance to chat to Thurber recently about the improvisation on set, changes to the script, and whether or not any sequels are in the works.
The script for We're The Millers has been hanging around for a bit, what attracted you to the project and what changes happened from the initial script?
"The original script was written by Bob Fisher and Steve Faber, and they were the writers of Wedding Crashers, and I think they sold it right after Wedding Crashers so I think it's existed for almost a decade in Hollywood, which by Hollywood standards is very old. »

He made the world laugh and fear Pe with Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story in 2004, and almost ten years later he's back with a raunchier and more anticipated film in We'Re The Millers. We sat down with director Rawson Marshall Thurber to talk about the comedy/family film genre, sneaking in striptease scenes for Jennifer Aniston and what it means to be the next big comedic film maker.

Interview Ryan Lambie 30 Jul 2013 - 06:21
Ahead of this summer's Kick-Ass 2, we spoke to producer and comic-book writer Mark Millar about sequels, C-words and more...
Nb: This interview contains several naughty words. We should also point out that this interview took place last autumn, and it's since been revealed that Kristen Stewart is out of the running for Wanted 2.
A sleeper hit in cinemas and hugely successful on DVD, Kick-Ass was an anarchic, blackly comic take on the superhero movie. Three years later, and the sequel's almost finished, while in the intervening period, its trio of young stars - Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, have continued to rise in stature. So too has comic book writer Mark Millar, who's been fortunate enough to see two of his stories - Wanted and Kick-Ass - adapted into hit films so far.
And with adaptations »

HeyUGuys were lucky to be invited to the sound stage at the world famous Pinewood Studio early last October to witness the filming of Kick-Ass 2. We were ushered past multitudes of superheroes who were all prepping for the movie's climactic finale – a fight between all those who are good and all those who are not! This final scene takes place in Red Mist's (now known as the Motherf*cker) evil lair and we got to speak to many of the cast and filmmakers throughout the day, both in the lair and in the Justice Forever HQ which was equipped with it's very own graffitied table where most the interviews took place.
Over the course of the next few days, you'll hear from the stars and filmmakers of Kick-Ass 2, including Kick-ass himself, Aaron Johnson, Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz), director Jeff Wadlow and Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse »

Following are some supplemental sections featuring notable director & actor teams that did not meet the criteria for the main body of the article. Some will argue that a number of these should have been included in the primary section but keep in mind that film writing on any level, from the casual to the academic, is a game of knowledge and perception filtered through personal taste.
Other Notable Director & Actor Teams
This section is devoted to pairings where the duo worked together at least 3 times with the actor in a major role in each feature film, resulting in 1 must-see film.
Must-See Collaboration: From Russia with Love (1962).
Other Collaborations: Action of the Tiger (1957), Dr. No (1962), Thunderball (1965).
Director Young and actor Connery teamed up to create one of the very best Connery-era James Bond films with From Russia with Love which features a great villainous performance by Robert Shaw »

Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award nominee Stephen Goldblatt about working with Richard Donner and lensing the first two Lethal Weapon movies...
Richard Donner, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson filming the original Lethal Weapon.Teaming with Richard Donner (Superman), Stephen Goldblatt (The Help) captured the cinematic antics of Mel Gibson (The Year of Living Dangerously) and Danny Glover (Places in the Heart) in Lethal Weapon (1987) and Lethal Weapon 2 (1989). "Michael Riva [The Color Purple] who has unfortunately passed away was the designer of the two Lethal Weapons that I worked on, he made remarkable sets. For example the big sequence in Lethal 2 where the iconic Hollywood house comes down the mountainside, all of the interiors were shot on a set even though the place was large enough to have accommodated us. We built the set for various practical and safety reasons so we could tilt it and blow it up without anybody being killed. »

Some have argued that 1988 was the greatest year for summer cinema: Die Hard, Bull Durham, Big, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Coming to America, and A Fish Called Wanda all clocked us with genre-bending ingenuity in '88. I was thinking about it the other day, and I'm prepared to call 1988 one of the best years for pop/dance music too. If you're like me and worship things like silver anniversaries, hopefully you can make use of this jam-packed list: 10 underrated dance jams from '88 that will fill your summer of 2013 with monumental firepower. It's 1988, and it's forever our girl.

To celebrate the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, the Flickering Myth writing team look back at the classic sci-fi franchise. Next up for Star Trek Month is Anghus Houvouras reviewing Star Trek V: The Final Frontier...
Every Star Trek fan has to deal with the fact that every so often you will bear witness to something truly wretched. Its only natural for a property that has been around as long as the crew of the Starship Enterprise. The fourth film in the storied franchise, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, was a monumental success that propelled the property to new heights. Star Trek was not only cool again, it was a box office draw that had achieved mainstream success. It was, at the time, the highest level of success Star Trek had ever achieved. One film would take all that goodwill and blow it up like flaming, disintegrating hull »

Director Shane Black and Producer Kevin Feige discuss Iron Man 3, in theaters nationwide May 3
Director Shane Black and producer Kevin Feige both come from rather different ends of the cinematic spectrum. Shane Black was one of the go-to writers in the 1980s and 1990s, revolutionizing the action-comedy genre with his scripts for Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and his directorial debut, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Kevin Feige produced Marvel Studio's highly-successful Phase One slate of movies, starting with Iron Man and culminating with last year's Marvel's The Avengers. Their Marvel Phase Two sequel Iron Man 3 showcases a melding of these two distinct styles in fascinating ways, when this action-thriller hits theaters May 3 (clickHere for my full review). I recently had the chance to sit down with both Shane Black and Kevin Feige to speak about this cinematic journey, which takes »

January 13, 2011. That was the date that Shane Black (writer of Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Monster Squad, The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero) was announced to direct a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note. Since then nothing. Until now.
Recently Bleeding Cool caught up with Black to get an update. "Right now I've got this thing at Warner Bros. called Death Note that I like a lot. It's a Japanese manga that's very tense and really cool." Yeah, that's not exactly anything earth-shattering, but at least it means that they're still talking about it or Black wouldn't have brought it up.
Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, Death Note was originally published in Japan and later collected in 12 trade paperbacks that have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide. The protagonist, Light, is a bright student who stumbles across a »

What happened next to billionaire Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, after facing an alien wormhole over Manhattan in last summer's hit The Avengers? Writer-director Shane Black (of Lethal Weapon fame) with screenwriter Drew Pearce co-pens the answer in the latest of the Iron Man franchise, a sequel to The Avengers, showing Stark as more vulnerable and likeable than ever before.
Ignore the idea of this film being in 3D as somehow adding anything additional for your admission fee to the fore – it doesn't. Merely take it at face value as a highly enjoyable character exploration of one of Marvel's best loved superheroes with a lot more eccentricity, bags of humour and a hint of Warren Ellis' famous Extremis comic book mini-series thrown in.
After facing the alien invasion with his fellow Avengers, Stark (Robert Downey Jr) is back to his confident and arrogant self, only cracks are »

Three Takes is a column dedicated to the art of short-form criticism. Each week, three writers—Calum Marsh, Fernando F. Croce, and Joseph Jon Lanthier—offer stylized capsules which engage, in brief, with classic and contemporary films.
Bad Boys II (2003)
If Tony Scott painted in primary-color blotches and smears, Michael Bay instead opts to detonate the bucket, his brand of ludicrous maximalism less a distinct visual style than simply the shortest route from containment to paint on the wall. In Bad Boys II, what passes as the vulgar auteur's pop-cinematic opus, reds erupt across a cobalt-tinted Miami sky like million-dollar Pollockian splatters, every formal gesture a cinematic champagne toast to the profane and obscene. Like Neveldine/Taylor's Crank, the preeminent Godardian riff on Bay's (comparatively) classical template, mauvais gout seems as much a guiding principle as it is a point of pride, vulgarity gleefully »

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers arrested a Palestinian attempting to smuggle a pipe bomb into Israel.
Soldiers discovered the explosive device at the Taysir checkpoint, south of the Palestinian Authority- (PA) controlled city of Jenin. IDF sappers detonated the bomb in a controlled explosion, and the Arab transporter was taken in for questioning. Two weeks ago, soldiers found a pipe bomb on a Palestinian teen from Nablus, who was attempting to enter Israel at the Hawara checkpoint. A recent operation by the Shin Bet (General Security Agency) and the IDF uncovered a four-member terror cell in the PA-controlled city of Kalkilya, south of Jenin. Two 45-pound bombs to be used in terror attacks were confiscated during the operation. Source: YNet news

Additional Location Information
Channing House is a spacious 2-bedroom detached house within a private Estate in the equestrian area abutting Griffith Park. Located just minutes from Hollywood, Los Feliz and the major studios: Warner Bros, NBC, CBS, Disney, Nickelodeon. It is a perfect holiday spot and an oasis from work...
The stylish Moroccan LIVING ROOM with hand-made imported rugs, custom recessed lighting and unique chandeliers make this a great 'home away from home'. It includes a 32" flat screen television, set up with Apple TV and a handmade Moroccan couch (that can also be used as another bed).
The expansive open plan KITCHEN is fully equipped with full-sized fridge, gas stove, dishwasher etc. The large Moroccan wood dining table is bathed in light from the arched windows.
The MASTER BEDROOM looks through the arched windows at the lawn and the round brickwork and shingled roof of the original gate to Riverbottom, Bette Davis' estate. It is bright and spacious with a king-sized bed, all natural organic mattress and features a custom headboard to snuggle into with your late night novel. The Moroccan chandelier casts soft light patterns on the clear bright walls. Watch the moon rise over the blue foothills of Mount Hollywood.
BEDROOM 2 also has Moroccan lights, dark wood floors, and comfy headboard on a Queen sized bed. The front windows look out toward the San Gabriel Mountains as they turn purple in the evening light.
BONUS ROOM -- perfect as an office with its desk and plenty of outlets – or can be used as a third bedroom for a child in a cot.
The slate tiled BATHROOM has a built in shower room and a stackable washer and drier. The patterned hallway off the living room has the controls for the central heating and air conditioning.
The grounds of Rivergate ESTATE enjoy massive organic gardens with two grass lawns, an abundance of butterflies and birds, saltwater pool, ping pong and fountain area. The rooms overlook fruit orchards and the foothills of Mount Hollywood. The Channing House has its own private gate to Riverside Drive and ample secure parking. It is named after Margo Channing, Davis' larger than life character in the 1950 movie "All About Eve"; and is the largest of the houses available on the Estate.
The NEIGHBORHOOD upscale and residential. Many of the large houses have private stables and it is common to see cowboys riding in the streets. We are just a few miles from Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Atwater (two exits on the freeway, about 5 minutes). We are bicycling distance from the studios (NBC, CBS, Warner Bros, Disney, Nickelodeon …). Additionally, there are four golf courses very near, as well as Travel Town, the LA Zoo, The Autry Museum, several horse riding facilities and playgrounds, Pickwick ice-skating and bowling and of course the wildlife and 52 miles of hiking and horse riding trails in the park.
Don't let the rural setting and the hooting of the owls fool you, we are still in the heart of the city and you should be aware that you can sometimes hear the freeway, helicopters, and sirens typical of city living. I mention it because it seems out of place while you lounge in the sun on the lawn feeling like you are out in the country.
The City is redeveloping the LA River and there are great cycling trails and running tracks throughout the neighborhood. Downtown Los Angeles is about 15 minutes away, depending a little on the infamous LA traffic (there is a shortcut through the park along Riverside Drive that is very pretty and cuts out some of the traffic).
Burbank and Glendale are home to loads of shopping including the Americana (a high end outdoor mall with fountain, fine restaurants and events). A Pavilions supermarket is one of the finest around and within walking distance.

Canada has no plans right now to follow the European Union's decision to ban a class of pesticides it believes is responsible for the deaths of many honey bees.
Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency said it already started a comprehensive review of three pesticides in the neonicotinoid class following last year's accidental poisonings of more than 200 apiaries in Ontario and Quebec by farmers applying the pesticides during plantings.
But it said that review is continuing and more investigation is needed to determine if the pesticides pose a significant environmental risk to domestic and wild pollinators. In the meantime, it has issued new rules to farmers on how to avoid killing bees with the pesticides.
Research is questioning the logic behind the federal government's move to streamline environmental assessments.
After tracking thousands of assessments over a decade, the peer-reviewed findings of Derrick de Kerckhove suggest a great majority of Fisheries Act environmental reviews over the last decade were completed well within recommended timelines.
Nor was there a bottleneck of projects being held up by a clogged review process, he said.
"We didn't find any. Even when the input was high, it seemed to be handled very well."
De Kerckhove, a University of Toronto PhD candidate, analyzed 10 years worth of data from Department of Fisheries and Oceans annual reports on the progress of environmental assessments triggered under the Fisheries Act. That legislation generates more such reviews than almost any other — anywhere from 7,700 to more than 12,000 in a single year.

Sierra Club Canada's Ontario Chapter was instrumental in the decision by our provincial government to shut down all coal plants. The day has come! Toronto environmental lawyer Dianne Saxe has a nice piece on her website about it:
by DIANNE SAXE on JANUARY 15, 2014
January 8 marked the last day of operation of the Nanticoke Generating Station, the last operating coal-fired electrical generating facility in southern Ontario. This latest shut down will help mark 2014 as the year Ontario will become a coal-free jurisdiction.
Toronto, May 31, 2013 – The provincial Cabinet announced today its approval of sweeping exemptions for industry under the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA). Environmental organizations are incensed at the government's abdication of its responsibility to protect and recover Ontario's endangered plants and animals.
Halifax, NS – Community and environmental groups, members of the Nova Scotia Fracking Resource and Action Coalition, applaud the Municipality of Colchester Municipal Sewer Use Appeal Committee for its decision not to allow the release of fracking wastewater through the Debert sewage system.

Geared toward members of the public who want to learn more about wilderness in urban settings, a monthly expert will guide the walks and provide information and answer questions. The first HRM Diverse Walk will be held at Point Pleasant Park on Saturday June 29th at 1:00 PM, and will meet in the Tower Road parking lot.
Ontario's oldest nuclear plant pleads its case this week for a few more years of active life.
But nuclear skeptics say it's time to bring down the axe on the Pickering nuclear station.
It's an old debate that pits hardened nuclear campaigners such as Greenpeace against low-profile supporters such as the Pickering Soccer Club.
It comes to a head because the Pickering station's operating license runs out this year. But Ontario Power Generation, which owns and operates the plant, wants to keep the station running until about 2020.
The company wants to continue the operation without doing an environmental impact assessment, and without performing a major overhaul of the aging station.

Dynamic model of childbearing and labor force participation of married women: Empirical evidence from Korea and Japan
The purpose of this study is the empirical investigation of childbirth behavior and labor-force participation of married women in South Korea and Japan. A dynamic discrete choice model is estimated using microdata from household surveys in South Korea and Japan. Estimation results suggest that: (1) only a second child is beneficial and others are not in the case of Korea, although any child is beneficial in the case of Japan; (2) nursing a newborn is considerably costly; (3) without considering an earnings effect, low-earnings jobs are costly in both countries, although high-earnings jobs are beneficial in Japan; and (4) the probability of finding a full-time position for married women after career interruption is estimated as 5-28%.Download Info

" Is Pete in love with Peggy? How in love with her is he? Why is he in love with her? Is it really just his ego? I mean, how many times have you been in love with a woman until she loves you back? And then you realize it had nothing to do with her. Or a woman cheats on you and you hate her for decades and then you realize, it's just my ego. I just couldn't handle that she, like, wanted someone else—it had nothing to even do with this woman. And I think that's the kind of grey area that these characters get to live in and that we get to portray—you say these long moments of silence."

When you're a celebrity, staying in the public eye cognito is key. Best way to achieve said results? Disguises. Just ask Joaquin Phoenix.

We're officially in shock and awe here. Kate Gosselin, a woman whose very hairdo makes us cringe — and the fact that it's caught on as a trend inspires us to shout out "why!?" and pump our fists at the heavens — is looking halfway decent in an upcoming issue of People. Shot in LA by Nigel Parry last week, Gosselin did not actually get a new haircut; this look is the result of some rather clever styling involving plenty of hairspray and possibly a clip-on thrown in the mix. Seriously though, she's almost unrecognizable. As much as anyone in their right mind would probably ditch the old 'do after seeing this pic, sadly, once you butcher your hair in a Gosselin fashion, it's probably pretty hard to get back to square one. And you thought your bangs were hard to grow out. [ohnotheydidnt] Keep reading »
We've gotten used to seeing Scarlett Johansson play the beautiful femme fatale in recent Woody Allen movies. In his newest film, set to begin production next year, we'll see another familiar face in that role: First Lady of France, Carla Bruni. On a trip to Paris earlier this year, the legendary filmmaker offered Bruni a leading role in his film and she is said to have accepted his offer. Bruni has limited acting experience, something that doesn't seem to make neurotic Woody nervous. Last June he told Spanish paper El Mundo: "I would like to work with Carla Bruni. She is an accomplished artist, she is very beautiful and I am sure she would have a gift for comedy. I am sure she would be marvelous. She has charisma and is used to appearing in public."

Katherine Heigl, who you may remember bad-mouthed her employers on "Letterman" earlier this summer when she complained about doing 17-hour work days on the set of "Grey's Anatomy," will be taking a five-episode hiatus from the show this season. Might the hiatus be related to her late-night comment? Well, higher-ups certainly weren't happy with her behavior. During the Television Critics Association summer press tour, ABC President Stephen McPherson said this about Heigl's comments: "I think it's unfortunate. It's not something I think you want to let consume you or your people because it is what it is. People are going to behave in the way they choose to behave." Heigl also made waves last year when she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration because she didn't feel the material she worked with deserved an award. So is this sudden five-episode hiatus a way for the show's creators to transition Heigl off without making a big to-do? Keep reading »

May 05, 2009
The Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) today commenced installing a new arena lighting system at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), designed to improve turf growth during the winter months.
Since the completion of the new northern stand three years ago, the MCC has been faced with a lack of light and sun on the turf on the northern side of the stadium. During winter, only 10% of natural sunlight reaches this area of the ground.
As a result, the MCC has procured a product called Stadium Grow Lighting, a mobile supplementary lighting unit produced by Netherlands-based company SGL Concept and used by stadiums around the world.
The shipment, comprising 11 lighting rigs each measuring 12m x 2.5m x 2.5m and two smaller rigs, arrived from the Netherlands on May 4 and will be in full operation from mid-May, once installation and testing is completed.
It is proposed that the $2 million system will be used as required throughout the football season, until the end of September.
"The lighting rigs are placed above the grass to provide light and heat, which stimulates turf growth," said Tony Ware, MCC executive manager environment and turf development. "This will enable us to achieve year-round quality turf in all weather conditions, and ensures that the MCG remains at the forefront of stadium management."
Similar systems have been adopted at numerous venues around the world, including Emirates Stadium, Twickenham Stadium and Wembley Stadium in London, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and Melbourne-based Etihad Stadium.
Mr Ware said the redeveloped northern grandstand had presented new challenges to arenas operations manager Cameron Hodgkins and his ground staff.
"The roof on the new stand has reduced the amount of natural sunlight we have available to us," said Mr Ware. "This leads to lack of growth on a patch of turf that, during the AFL season, is an area of high traffic around the interchange benches and changerooms. The new system will reduce the amount of turf replacement required on an annual basis."
It is estimated that the use of the lights will add approximately five percent to the MCG's energy consumption levels. However, this will be offset by a number of energy-saving initiatives being implemented throughout the stadium.
"The MCC is conscious of its community role in environmental sustainability," said Mr Ware. "We will be installing a device on the northern stand roof to measure how much lighting is needed, so that we are using the energy as efficiently as possible."

For most of Tuesday's game, it seemed like Kari Lehtonen might will the Dallas Stars to a win. He buckled just enough to allow the San Jose Sharks to score two goals in 30 seconds to lock up a 3-2 win, clinching a 2013 playoff spot – and gravely injuring the Stars' chances – in the process.
Raffi Torres opened up the scoring only to see Antoine Roussel and Loui Eriksson give the Stars a 2-1 lead early in the second period. Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture then scored those two tallies in blinding speed to make it 3-2.
The Sharks move back into fifth place in the West after the St. Louis Blues briefly leapfrogged them. At this point, San Jose can jostle for positioning with the fourth-seed Los Angeles Kings and the sixth-ranked Blues.
The Stars aren't mathematically eliminated, especially since they get to face the two teams ahead of them.
Dallas hosts eighth-place Columbus on Thursday and ninth-place Detroit in the final game of its season on Saturday.
That will help the Stars influence the process, but they're still going to need quite a bit of help to break their postseason drought.
