Kristen Stewart wanted to go topless in her new movie 'On The Road'.
In the film version of Jack Kerouac's 1957 classic, the 22-year-old actress plays the sexually adventurous first wife of Neal Cassady and appears without a shirt while sitting in a car seat between costars Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund.
She said at a press conference in Cannes on Wednesday (23.05.12) about her portrayal of Marylou, who is based on Luanne Henderson, that is was scary but fulfilling.
Kristen commented: ''I love pushing. I love scaring myself. I've always wanted to get as close to an experience as I could.''
She said her immersion into her role took place during a month-long ''beatnik boot camp'' for the cast in Montreal in 2010.
The 'Snow White and the Huntsman' star said: ''I'm usually self-conscious about running around town with my face hanging out. But I got to live more in those four weeks than I ever usually do in my life.''
The movie directed by Walter Salles, has been eight years in the making and is due in American cinemas in Autumn but Kristen said she was 16 when she first agreed to do the film.
She revealed: ''I was almost the same age Luanne was at the time, but I was a much younger 16, so I'm glad I had a chance to age before we started shooting.''

Topic: Math
In a figure, BD is parallel to AE, ED = 2 cm and DC = 6 cm. Given that the area of triangle CBD = 9 cm^2, Calculate the area of ABDE.
1 Answer | add yours
We pressume that ABC is a straight line.
If you draw the figure, AEC is tringle with EC =2+6=8 cm and D is a point on AC such that ED =2cm. Bis a point on AC and BD || AE. (Sorry, no environment to draw the figure.)
So, consider, triangles CAE and CBD.
AE || BD and AC is transval. So the angle CAE = angle CBD, being corresponding angles.
|||ly, AE || BD and EC is a transval. So angle CEA = angle CBD.
Therefore, all three angles of triangles CAE and CBD are equal, as the 2 angles of triangles being equal, the remaing angle of the triangle have to be equal. So, triangleCAE and CBD are similar. Therefore,their areas are proportional to the square of their sides.
Area of CAE/area of CBD = EC^2/DC^2 = (2+6)^2/6^2 = 16/9. or
Area CAE = (area CBD)(16/9) = 9(16/9) =16 cm^2
Area Area ABDE +area CBD =16cm^2, as CAE = ABDE+CBDE.
Area ABDE =16-area CBD =16-9 = 7cm^2

Mariah Carey doesn't need no stinkin' co-judges on "American Idol" ... the diva tells TMZ she can do it all by her damn self!!!! And with multiple personalities, she's just the person to pull it off.
Carey spoke to photogs on both ends of the country yesterday -- first in NYC, where the paps asked about the tension between herself and Nicki Minaj.
Carey shot back, "What tension? There's no tension!" Suuuuure.
When she arrived to L.A. we asked Carey who she would like to join her on the judge's panel, since there are still 3 open chairs.
Mariah replied, "I'd answer that, but I'm not quite sure how."
When we suggested she judge the show by herself, Carey made it clear she LOVED that idea ... saying, "Naturally ... why not?"
Think about it ... She's going to make $18 mil. If she pulls a Sybil, producers could pay each personality a more reasonable $4.5 million, and everybody wins.
Oh Mariah, you're so full of s'hit, like always ! One thing is sure, the clash between you and Nicki Minaj is gonna be very entertaining ! Who's going to be the biggest bi-tch ? My money goes to NM ...
No matter who they get, I think this will be the last year. People are so sick of this show. Of course Mariah would like to be alone--she's a diva.
"What tension?". Exactly, there is no tension, just speculation and hype :D
Mariah isn't a rude diva, that's all gossip and slander by her jealous rivals in the biz.
Mariah's humble, down to earth and sweet, always was, that'll come through to viewers when she's judging.
You could because NO one is watching that crap. AND I predict ANOTHER scandalous event this year, like the ghost house, like the possible winner having throat problems or some other A.I. B.S.
Why are you bashing her? She is talented, a great mom and shows pics of her babies without selling them to the media. I wish more people in the industry were like her.
I've watched, and enjoyed for the most part, AI from the beginning. However, I'm officially finished. I can't stand Mariah, with her breathy/baby voice and batting her eyelashes, (not to mention her tool of a husband) and the thought of Nicki Minaj actually telling someone they aren't good enough is downright laughable.
It's too bad, because I would like to see Keith Urban. I really wish someone would convince him to RUN from this sinking ship.
GAG! Mariah has a beautiful voice and the crappiest attitude in the entertainment business to go with it. Have you seen her on HSN?

Litter Box Cats
Make the Playoffs and lose to pittsburgh, or dont make the playoffs and hear it from your islander friends, but Torts gets fired...I will take either.
my problem with this team is you couldn't pay them to adapt. Markstrom, LIKE MASON (another bs loss) WILL NOT be beaten high. so what do we do? shoot high. Markstrom has a weak 5 hole and has a hard time with rebounds. What do we do? stay away from the net. They just keep doing what doesn't work and I just don't get it.
King Henrik with 8 saves on 10 shots from the worst team in the NHL. Vezina-worthy indeed.
Just will throw it out there... Fla has the worst PK in the league, and the Rangers go 0 for 3. joke
Just wondering... who honestly sees the Rangers beating Carolina on Thursday? That is a game they lose 9 times out of 10.
This pisses me off so much, we could have been in 6th place, but now it looks like we are stuck in 8th, if we even make it. Fuck you torts
Torts loss. period. Nash 19 goals 21 assists PLUS 16, but yeah, he's worried about tee time. ridiculous.
losing to the panthers aint Nash. its fucking torts and his insistence on being right, no matter how wrong he is
Rick Nash is an all-world player being squezzed by shithead torts. 7th in F ice time tonight.
Missing: Rick Nash... right around playoff time... story of his pitiful fucking career
We will have the 8th seed and promptly be ousted by Pitts. This is what this team has been "playing" for throughout the season. We will probably wait until a shootout on game 48 to decide whether we are in or out.
Disgusted by the performance tonight... No excuse for 0 points out of this game. Torts can go to hell, fuck him
absolutely no need to pull the goalie in that scenario either. I can't wait till sabermetrics catches up with hockey and coaches start to realize that pulling the goalie is probably only a good idea with about 20-30 seconds left
O, now the rangers score... try going to the net the whole game and you beat florida...
what a GD awful game for Callahan - what a choke job tonight. Everyone looked nervous expect ZUCC...what a useless penalty by Richards that cost the game - there was a fucking guy back you don't need to take that penalty...
I guess Nash was out late last night, he was trash tonight... and has been for a couple of games now
when pyatt has more ice time than Nash, u have to ask questions. Torts has been shoving pyatt down our throats all year. i just dontt get it
We suck... what a joke... Glorious opportunity... I blame this one on Torts... As a coach, do something, he left with a timeout in his pocket and a horrible loss. Losing the season series to the PANTHERS.... fucking joke
@Zelrio you clearly didn't watch the game. those two goals were garbage deflections that nobody would've saved.
@AnnoyingJoe Torts received a text message, saying play it out until the game at the Garden against the devils... need to build it up
@AnnoyingJoe Torts is a joke, as is every coach in NY sports besides Coughlin. For me Rex Ryan is an awful coach and so is Girardi. Just add torts to that list, he is a scumbag also
@AnnoyingJoe the only player torts doesnt play based on their "play" is DZ (who is the worst player on the team) and Nash was awful tonight. I think this team looked past this game and got burned. The usual this year, and its a disgrace
@AnnoyingJoe @Josh6 He might be their best player skill-wise but attitude-wise I am not so confident.

Common Sense
72% of new laws affecting UK citizens come from Brussels, and the European Union is now at the centre of everything done by our government. Trade, post office closures, immigration, VAT, fuel taxes, farming and fishing are EU-controlled.
With the Lisbon Treaty, we now have an EU President, EU Foreign Minister and embassies.
UKIP believes in replacing our EU membership with Swiss-style free trade agreements with the EU and other countries across the globe.
We pay over £40 million a day to be in the EU.
The EU forces us to accept unlimited immigration from 26 other countries.
The two richest countries in Europe - Norway and Switzerland - aren't even in the EU.
We all feel we're paying too much tax, but most of us fear that tax cuts could lead to cuts in services like police, schools and hospitals.
We can save money by leaving the EU making tax simpler and slashing bureaucracy to let us cut taxes and improve services.
Our simple, low-rate 'Flat Tax' will cover both Income Tax and National Insurance - and no tax on the first £11,500 per year of earnings. People on minimum wage should pay nothing.
Flat tax would take 4.5 million people out of tax.
Simplify pensions and stop means testing
Scrap Inheritance Tax over time.
Simpler for business - replace VAT with a fair Local Sales Tax.
Our government has pumped more money into the NHS, but extra bureaucracy and waste drains that money away.
The EU threatens the NHS's existence through the Health Services Directive, lower medical standards and working time rules on doctors.
UKIP would keep the NHS free at the point of need but allow greater flexibility and top-up funding, and require a return to high standards.
Ensure locally-run, cleaner hospitals.
Elected health boards to stop hospital closures.
Fully support GPs at the heart of a better NHS.
On-the-job nursing and medical training.
Our government doesn't even know the true level of UK immigration, thanks to the lack of proper border controls. Serious criminals are rarely deported after serving their sentences.
Under Labour, mass immigration has added 3.5 million people -equivalent to half London's population. Our infrastructure cannot cope; this is about numbers - space not race.
End uncontrolled mass immigration
Triple Border Agency personnel.
Find and deport illegal immigrants.
Work permits only for UK economic needs.
Keep our proud tradition of helping genuine asylum seekers who fear for their lives.
UK democracy isn't working properly.
Do you have an opinion on drug legalisation, euthanasia, animal rights or the death penalty? Your MPs currently decide these moral issues on a free vote - making it almost impossible for you to use your vote to make a difference.
That's why UKIP believes that you should be able to get involved in democracy through Swiss-style referenda on key local and national issues - and force politicians to listen.
Let the public call binding referendums on key local and national issues.
Provide free 'hotel' type accommodation to MPs and scrap the second home allowance.
Set up an independent panel on MP expenses.
Crime in the UK is out of control. Law-abiding citizens fear for their safety and criminals are released early or on bail to commit more crimes.
The failed Human Rights Act is a 'Criminals' Charter' protecting criminals, yet doing nothing to protect the decent, hard-working majority.
Police now enforce minor motoring offences more rigorously than shoplifting or assault. People are losing faith in the system.
Make sentences mean what they say.
Scrap the Human Rights Act.
Put police back on the beat.
Create enough prison places.
Give people the vote on police priorities.
Education should be about ensuring excellence, giving our children the best possible start in life. But today's education system downplays merit, prioritises government interference and ignores issues like bullying and lack of quality schools.
The brightest pupils are not challenged, and no genuine vocational choice is offered until age 16
We must scrap Labour's target of 50% of young people going to university, which is causing huge debt and reducing the value of degrees.
Student grants, not student loans.
Proper skills training and apprenticeships
Schools to reflect pupils' ability - whether academic or skills-based.
Defence is the primary duty of government. Whatever your views on Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, we should all agree that our soldiers deserve our full support.
Our armed forces are overstretched and often have to0make do with poor quality or faulty equipment - British soldiers pay with their lives.
Meanwhile, our war heroes receive poor medical treatment and little financial support if wounded.
Spend 40% more on defence
Recruit 25,000 more regular troops.
Double the size of the Territorial Army
Proper pay and medical care for our heroes.
Rebuild the Royal Navy; more RAF aircraft
Our roads, trains and airspace are overcrowded. Public transport and roads need improvement.
Tax on petrol currently adds around 180% to the net fuel cost. Parking fines and speed cameras are over-used.
UK hauliers suffer from unfair competition from foreign lorries paying nothing to use UK roads.
Invest in new high-speed rail routes and re-open selected local lines.
Encourage electric cars, lorries and trains.
Make foreign lorries pay to use UK roads.
Stop persecuting motorists with huge tax rises and over-zealous enforcement.
Obsession with carbon emissions is getting in the way of sensible measures to protect our environment. We should invest in technology to make cars more efficient and cut fuel emissions.
Wind farms work only at 30% efficiency, yet hydroelectric power is safe and reliable. Nuclear power is now safer and cleaner.
It's unacceptable to have British goods dumped in China or Africa to be recycled.
Invest in environmentally-friendly technology.
Oppose new wind farms
Nuclear stations to free the UK from reliance on Russian gas and Middle East oil
Use incentives not fines to encourage people to do their bit.

- Alan Ford&Fashion
- Alan Ford is an Italian satirical comic book created by writer Luciano Secchi (Max Bunker) and illustrator Roberto Raviola (Magnus). The first issue was published in May 1969. Even though illustrations were amazing, stories were the funniest thing ever, taking a piss of politics, society and absolutely everything else, it was popular only in Italy and ex Yugoslavia. Alan Ford is still being published by Max Bunker Production today but with a different illustrators.
As I grew up reading these comics over and over again (instead of studing) to the point that I knew every cloud by heart (but knew no world's history) in more than about 100 issues I decided (as I study now instead of reading it) to remember my favourite literature when I was a kid, also its timless humor and use it as a fashion illustration.
Stories are about secrete agents from the group TNT, who are not very synhronised with the law themselves but on its side after all, and their enemies. Their boss is an old cranky man in a squeaky wheelchair who was already old at the begining of the humankind and knew Homer. So what I did here is that I transfered the main male caracters and their cloths full of holes into the female ones.
If you come across Max Bunker please tell him to employ me as an illustrator as Alan Ford is still my favourite literature (old numbers) although my memory is not that great any longer to remember all those clouds!
This is a student (and very personal work) and I used the style of drawing from the original.
All the people who used to read it will know who is who. Hope you enjoy it and hopefully it will bring you back some memories like it did to me while drawing it.
All drawn with ink.

DSLR users know that "good glass" is necessary no matter the sensor size, and that's where mirrorless cameras suffer most, with limited lens selection that is often of marginal build quality and too often modest optical performance. Yet demands on optical quality tend to be higher for smaller sensor cameras due to the greater photosite density, at least for similar levels of high quality detail in the same number of megapixels (e.g. 24 megapixels from full-frame vs the smaller APS-C).
Enter the Zeiss Touit lens line for Sony NEX and Fuji- film X. The optics in the Touit lenses are optimized for the APS-C sensor size and for digital without optical design compromises for a DSLR mirror or rangefinder flange focal distance. Also, Zeiss has licensed the necessary electronic protocols from both Sony and Fujifilm for both autofocus and native camera control of the lens.
Overview of the Touit Lenses
Three lenses are available (12/2.8, 32/1.8, 50/2.8), with the 12mm and 32mm, shipped in June 2013, and a 50mm to follow in late 2013.
The Touit lenses offer a high-grade build quality, indeed an elegant feel compared to the majority of mass-produced lenses. Lens hoods are included with each lens and fit seamlessly; the 32/1.8 includes a round hood and the 12/2.8 includes a scalloped hood. Both increase the apparent lens size substantially, but add little weight. When mounted, they fit so well that they appear like a seamless extension of the lens itself. Filter threads are built-in for standard filters so that a filter or polarizer can be easily mounted (12/2.8 = 67mm, 32/1.8 = 52mm).

Tiger Airways' S'pore boss quits days before new CEO takes over
Tiger Airways' Singapore boss Stewart Adams has quit.
The news, announced on Wednesday, comes just days before the airline welcomes its new group chief executive Koay Peng Yen, 46, on Friday.
The first big job for the shipping veteran will be to find a replacement for Mr Adams, managing director of Tiger Airways Singapore.
Mr Adams, who joined in January 2011, is leaving at the end of the year to pursue his personal interests, the budget carrier said.

In Horton Square, John told Marlena that he'd just returned to Salem the day before because he'd needed to see Brady. After a cruelly long pause, John added, "And you." An incredulous Marlena reminded John that he'd left town without even saying goodbye. "In the last year, I've gotten one email from you and three from your attorney," she pointed out. John said that, with the divorce looming, he'd thought that was how Marlena wanted it.
"When it comes to you, nothing that happened between us was what I wanted -- not for a very long time," Marlena said. When Marlena asked if John knew about Sami's trial or what had happened at Brady's wedding, she quickly realized that someone had been keeping John apprised of what was happening to the family. Marlena couldn't believe that John hadn't tried to contact her during all of that.
"What was I supposed to say about Brady's wedding? What did you expect me to think about what you had done?" John growled before walking away. Marlena followed John to the park outside the square and declared that even though he obviously blamed her for what had happened, she would not justify her actions to him. John pointed out that Marlena had destroyed Eric and humiliated Brady.
Marlena deduced that someone -- probably Victor -- had to have told John about her part in what had happened, because it hadn't been on the news. John admitted that he and Victor had stayed in touch. Marlena was glad that John was back for Brady's sake. She offered to recommend a facility if Brady agreed to get treatment, but John cut her off before she could finish. "Okay, so that's the way it is. We care about our children but we have nothing to say to each other," Marlena concluded.
John asserted that they hadn't even scratched the surface of what the two of them needed to deal with. "If Brady were fine, would you be here in Salem?" Marlena asked. John's silence was all the answer she needed. "It's better this way. Really, it is, because now we know there's nothing for us to discuss -- ever," Marlena stated, turning away. Before she could leave, John warned her, "I think you should know I'm not leaving Salem. So if you want to forget about me and push me out of your heart, that's up to you. But I'll be here."
At the hospital, Jennifer and Eric were excitedly discussing his ideas for the photo essay he was doing for the hospital magazine. Theresa overheard Jennifer advising Eric that he needed to go to H.R. for orientation and to fill out some paperwork. "You lucky, lucky guy," Theresa pronounced snidely when she learned that Eric was about to start working for Jennifer, although her sarcasm was lost on Eric.
After Eric headed for H.R., Theresa tried to needle Jennifer about Daniel. Jennifer refused to take the bait, although she admitted she didn't understand why Theresa wasn't more grateful to Daniel for saving her life. Reminding Theresa of what the stakes were if Theresa tried to hurt any of them, Jennifer urged Theresa to try to live with things the way they were.
Jennifer was alone a little later when Liam startled her by asking if they could speak in private. Jennifer reluctantly led Liam into her office but kept the door open. Liam apologized again for the way he'd acted. He explained that he'd had a bad run-in with his ex-wife and had taken out his anger on Jennifer instead of admitting that he'd been hurt. Jennifer reminded him that she'd made it clear that she hadn't been ready for a relationship.
Liam said that he didn't want things to be tense between him, Jennifer, and Daniel at the hospital. Jennifer agreed that she didn't want things to be awkward, either. "Thank you. You're one of the good ones, Jennifer Horton," Liam said. After he apologized again, Liam hinted about what Jennifer might have mentioned to Daniel. "He doesn't even know, so it's fine. We'll just move on," Jennifer assured Liam. Liam thanked Jennifer and left. In the hallway, he grimaced.
At Daniel's, Daniel assured Nicole that he would keep her confidence about whatever she told him. Without getting into specifics, Nicole confessed that she'd destroyed some important information. "It could have helped someone -- and maybe it still can," Nicole added. Daniel asked if Nicole wanted his help to try to fix it. Nicole admitted that she wasn't sure that was possible, but she wanted to do the right thing.
A call from Chloe, confirming when Daniel would pick up Parker, briefly interrupted Daniel and Nicole's conversation. When Daniel hung up, he presumed that Nicole had accidentally destroyed the information. Dodging the question, Nicole said that she had simply made a mistake at work, but she could handle Miles. Daniel assured Nicole that Eric could also handle it if she ended up losing her job.
Daniel reiterated that Nicole didn't have to move out, but she had already packed -- and she knew that he needed his space. They wished one another well then Daniel headed out. Nicole tried to convince herself that everything would be all right and that she was supposed to be with Eric.
When Nicole met Eric at the Brady Pub a little later, he could tell that she was ready to finish moving out of Daniel's. Caroline stopped Nicole and Eric before they could leave and addressed Nicole: "Roman told me what you did to help Eric, and that counts with me. So I want you to know that you will always be welcome here." A touched Nicole squeezed Caroline's hands.
Later, Eric carried a suitcase into Nicole's hotel room and remarked about its heft. As if he should have known, Nicole said that it was full of shoes. Eric asked if Nicole wanted to unpack or get something to eat. "Maybe both can wait," Nicole suggested. She moved closer to Eric to demonstrate, and he responded by stroking her hair and kissing her tenderly, then more passionately. "I am so glad we made it to this place... I love you so much," Nicole said. They kissed some more and moved toward the bed. "I can't wait to make love to you," Nicole murmured.
Brady stormed into the Kiriakis mansion and accused Victor and Maggie of getting John to return to Salem. Victor admitted, "Of course, I did." Maggie said that although she hadn't known that John was returning, she wouldn't have tried to stop him even if she had. Brady complained about how he didn't need his father hovering around him like everyone else. Victor asked if that meant Brady intended to quit his job and leave town.
Brady maintained that he would keep doing his job, which included a call to Shanghai in a few minutes about changes to a shipyard there. Victor declined Brady's offer to participate in the call, then Victor and Maggie left.
Daniel arrived a little later, looking for Victor and Maggie, but Brady advised him that they weren't home. Daniel explained that he wanted to tell Maggie and Victor that he and Jennifer were back together and Parker was returning home. Brady had to take a call from Mr. Chang just then, so Daniel headed for the door -- where Theresa was just about to ring the bell.
Theresa smugly explained that she was there to see her friend Brady -- with whom she'd bonded during a night at Daniel's place. Finished with his phone call, Brady went to the foyer and greeted Theresa, who reminded him that she was there to pick up her skirt. She headed off to find Henderson. "What in the hell are you thinking?" Daniel demanded as soon as he and Brady were alone.
Brady apologetically explained that the corporate suites had been booked, and he'd needed a place to escape to, so he had stayed at Daniel's apartment for a night while Daniel and Nicole had been out of town. Daniel only objected because Theresa was "toxic" and a "hot mess." Brady maintained that Theresa was the least judgmental person he'd met in a long time. Daniel agreed that Theresa had no judgment -- or any scruples, morals, or common sense. He urged Brady to watch his back.
As Daniel was leaving, he ran into Victor and Maggie outside. He invited the two of them over for Parker's return -- and Jennifer would be joining them. An elated Maggie hugged her son, and Victor grinned as he gave Daniel a high five.
Theresa found Brady in the living room and wondered aloud what Daniel had said about her. "I make up my own mind about people," Brady assured her. Theresa suggested that the two of them go out. Brady thought that was a great idea and promised to text Theresa as soon as he'd finished what he was working on.
Outside, Theresa muttered to herself, "Nice try, Daniel. You and your simpy girlfriend will not blow up my life -- and I'll make her sorry that you tried."
Daniel arrived back at the apartment with Parker, Maggie, and Victor. Parker spied a new toy on the table and ran over to check it out. After a moment of teasing Parker, Maggie and Daniel informed the boy that it was his. As they were opening the toy, Jennifer sneaked in the open door. Maggie rushed over to welcome Jennifer with a hug.
At an empty workstation at the hospital, a figure sat at the computer terminal and clicked on a link marked "comments/suggestions here." In the subject line of the comment box that popped up, the person typed, "RE: Jennifer Horton."
Sami sat in E.J.'s lap at the DiMera mansion, and they smooched as they dreamily discussed their plans to honeymoon in Italy. On the desk, Sami spotted Gabi's modeling contract, which E.J. said he'd drawn up himself because he had no idea how Nick might react to it. Nuzzling E.J.'s neck, Sami expressed her relief that they could plan something fun with no clouds hanging over them.
As she gathered up her things to leave, Sami asked what E.J. and Johnny had planned, since they would have the house to themselves. E.J. joked that they were going to binge on sugar and play soccer in the living room. Sami quipped that she hoped the guys broke everything in that room. On her way out, Sami grabbed a couple of books that she'd hidden under her coat in the foyer. "He's gonna be so surprised," she whispered happily to herself.
Once he was alone, E.J. found himself reminiscing about his near-tryst with Abigail in the hospital supply closet. "It's going to be fine, okay? It's over," he told himself. E.J. was looking at some brochures on Italy when Johnny arrived home from school. "That building is messed up!" Johnny said when he saw a picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Chuckling, E.J. explained that he and Johnny's mother were planning to go to Italy for their honeymoon because they were getting married in May.
Johnny freaked out and threw a bit of a tantrum, insisting that weddings ruined everything. "Uncle Brady and Aunt Kristen had a wedding, and then -- boom!" Johnny explained. E.J. assured Johnny that if he had any questions about Brady and Kristen, he could ask his parents. Johnny wanted to know what had happened.
E.J. explained that Brady and Kristen had found out things -- secret things -- about one another, but the two of them were very different from Johnny's mom and dad. "You and Mommy don't have secret things," Johnny summed up. E.J. sent Johnny into the kitchen to get a piece of fruit and promised that they would play a quick game of football when Johnny returned.
On the phone later, E.J. advised, "I've put in all the riders myself. It's all ready for Miss Hernandez's signature. No, there's no need for a messenger; I'll take it over myself." As E.J. slipped the contract into an envelope, he guiltily recalled what Johnny had said about secret things.
Abigail was on the phone at the Horton house, explaining that she was going to work from home because she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to get anyone else sick. After Abigail hung up, she took a bite of her sandwich, then gagged and ran out of the room.
Abigail was surprised when Sami showed up a little later. Sami explained that she'd called the hospital and learned that Abigail was working at home. "I brought art-history books, lunch... Can you take a break?" Sami asked hopefully. Abigail agreed but admitted that she was a little tired. Sami said that she was excited to be able to surprise E.J. by talking to him about art.
Sami asked what art E.J. might like to see while they were in Rome. Abigail said that E.J. liked Raphael, and she was impressed that Sami already knew there were entire rooms of Raphael's works in the Vatican. Sami confided that she wanted to understand more about art, the way that Abigail and E.J. did. Sami asked how E.J. and Abigail had started talking about art. Abigail explained that E.J. had returned an angel wing that her dad had given to her and she had given to Chad after he'd been shot.
Abigail found a picture of the "Cherubini" from Raphael's Sistine Madonna in one of the books and showed it to Sami, along with the angel wing charm, which was in a decorative box on the coffee table. Sami was amazed that E.J. had recognized the charm as being from a painting. As she studied the detail of the painting, Sami remarked that the Cherubini looked like "street kids," and their expressions reminded her of Johnny's face when he knew he had to wait for the rest of the table to finish dinner before he could have dessert.
Impressed with Sami's insight, Abigail revealed that one of the stories about the painting was that Raphael had based the Cherubini on two children he'd seen staring into the window of a bakery. Grinning but still unsure of herself, Sami wondered, "So I wouldn't sound like a fool if said that to E.J.?" Abigail reassured Sami, "No, you could never sound like a fool to E.J., Sami. He's madly in love with you."
Sami wanted to know what E.J. had said, but she quickly acknowledged with a giggle that she was acting like a teenager or one of Abigail's friends. "I'm not a teenager," Abigail pointed out. Sami assured Abigail that wasn't what she'd meant -- but she had always wondered what he would say about her to other people, since he didn't have a lot of friends. Remembering E.J.'s words about how he loved Sami more than his own life, Abigail's voice got shaky as she assured Sami, "He loves you very much."
Sami realized that something was bothering Abigail. Concerned, she asked what was going on and urged Abigail to let her help. Abigail stammered, "It's just -- he loves you so much. I just, um, I can't imagine what that must feel like." Sami confided that it was still hard for her to believe that she and E.J. were together after everything they'd been through. "It's a miracle we didn't kill each other before we realized that we completely belong to each other," Sami said.
Abigail fought back tears and turned her back so Sami wouldn't see, but Sami caught it and asked what was wrong. Abigail said that she didn't think she would ever have that with anyone. Sami reassured Abigail that she was young, beautiful, smart, and sweet. Abigail stopped Sami and admitted that she was feeling inexplicably emotional, as well as tired and hungry. Sami suddenly remembered the lobster salad she'd brought for their lunch. Abigail took one look at it and ran out of the room with her hand covering her mouth.
Abigail returned a few minutes later and apologized. She guessed that she was coming down with a stomach bug and offered to make some chamomile tea for the two of them. As Abigail headed toward the kitchen, Sami agreed that it might be the perfect thing for a queasy stomach. Sami had begun talking about her bouts of morning sickness when Abigail disappeared around the corner. Furrowing her brow thoughtfully, Sami said, "She couldn't be."
A moment later, Abigail carried in a tray with two mugs of tea and handed one to Sami. Sami inquired: "Abigail, I was thinking about how you said you were feeling today, and I have to ask: could you be pregnant?" The cup fell out of Abigail's hand and shattered on the floor.

Horn is the leader in grooving technologies. A wholly owned subsidiary of Horn S.A. Luxembourg, Horn USA manufactures standard and special carbide cutting tools at its Franklin, Tennessee location.
Worldwide, approximately 900 skilled and highly trained employees engineer, produce and deliver precision tools based on a wide variety of their customers' demanding applications. These applications range in diversity from the broaching of keyways to high speed precision reaming.
Horn and its strategic partners utilize their combined areas of expertise to bring advanced machining technologies to small and large metalworking companies alike.
CVD thick-film diamond tools with special chip breakers for long-chipping types of aluminium.
The extremely long tool life of diamond tools combined with an optimized chip breaker on the CVD diamond cutter can increase machining productivity by up to 35 percent and reduce processing costs by up to 80 percent. For high performance machining and continuous turning applications, various inserts with wiper geometries were developed.
Laser equipment is used to cut out the segments from the CVD-D blanks; these are then attached to the one-cutter inserts or milling cutters by brazing under vacuum. The chip breakers and cutting edges are also laser formed. The innovative undulating chip breaker reduces contact of the chip with the insert surface, which considerably reduces heat formation and energy consumption. The extreme chip angle of up to 25° produces a soft cut and reduces burr formation to a minimum. This increases tool life compared to PCD cutters. In addition the controlled chip break guarantees process reliability, the reduced cutting force protects the spindle and allows the narrowest of tolerances even with delicate components. The sharp blade offers special advantages in processing CFRP, GFR and their composites.
In the first expansion phases, ISO inserts in types C, D and V along with different types of milling cutters were equipped with the CVD thick film. The next phase will include Supermini® and Mini tool systems.

I'm guessing that he's nearly out of cash and is desperate to sell his personal shares to get out for good. This has to be the longest running scam in the history of the US stock market. How this #$%$ is not in jail is a huge mystery. Lolakola was right three years ago.
Did you run into a tree sans a helmet during one of your ski adventures? No other explanation for the complete lack of comprehension.
I had some green tea and ginseng last week. Since then, for some reason, I believe EVERYTHING told to me by every broke#$%$ chinaman I come across...
that once a #$%$, always a #$%$. This ramster scammed his earlier telecom venture into bankruptcy. My mistake was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Obviously the market assigns zero credibility to the ramster's stated book value of IGC.
500,000 shares increase in the fourth quarter. Why?
Are SEC and listing fees being paid?
So many questions..so few answers.
to finance his weekend drug and whoring activities. lol.
Non-existent, non-verifiable business in a remote part of the world.
Auditors being changed with considerable frequency.
Only two members lwft on the BOD - Shenoy and the ramster.
Reverse splits and further scam financing until the final end.
Save yourself some peace of mind and walk away, nay run away, from this joke of a company.
The ramster will pack up in the middle of the night and flee to India. Does the US have an extradition treaty with India for fraud cases?
IGC jumping to $10+ overnight, or applying a baseball bat with some authority to the ramster's thick skull?
I vote for the baseball bat.
stunt. Google buying IRBT? That's an even bigger joke!!!
The float is 212 million shares while the total shares outstanding is 458 million. Who owns the remaining 346 million shares? Thanksffor the information.
Your brilliance must constantly amaze you.........
How good is the Roomba 880 in effectively cleaning up BS? Seems like a lot of that is being flung around these days. lol.
Maybe the 50% gain since the insider selling is totally unwarranted and ephemeral? For a true WYNN believer you seem quite jumpy - reacting to every rustle in the scary dark......
Actually, a very old login name. Keep deluding yourself that WYNN is going to the moon. Too many landmines to sleep easy at night.
Sheldon can afford to lose money. Can you?
Good luck if you bought into this ponzi scheme from Stevo....
And yet, the insiders are selling hand over fist.......lol
With all the inside info that the wall street crooks get their hands on, anything is possible.
No more. CVS gets all our business going forward....
You are thinking exactly like cramer. If you focus on "healthy" and the long-term impact for this nation then you will recognize the hypocrisy.

Reminiscent of barnacles growing on the prow of a ship or coral colonies under the sea, Jennifer Prichard's porcelain sculpture work is deeply influenced by nature, repetition, and patterns. Even the pieces that are not nature-inspired are based on repeating shapes and patterns. Trained as a ceramic sculptor and potter, she relies on common ceramic processes such as hand-forming, molding, and wheel-throwing to create the individual shapes that make up her wall compositions and tiles.
For her compositions, the porcelain pieces are installed directly onto wall surfaces and other architectural elements, in designs and patterns that are dictated by the project space. Although she has a standard repertoire of shapes, Prichard frequently custom designs the porcelain pieces in shapes that resonate with the client.
Nearly 25 color glazes are available, and color also can be incorporated into the porcelain body for more complex effects. Prichard says that even left raw and unglazed, the porcelain pieces have an attractive glassy finish. J Prichard Design. 512.922.2968. www.jpricharddesign.com.
Wood finisher Bob Chickey uses only natural resins and an array of shellacs from around the world to create custom finishes that enhance—not hide—the natural beauty of wood. His objective, he says, is to achieve total clarity in a finish. A shimmering chatoyancy is characteristic of his work.
EveryCourtesy RCP Fine Finishthing from architectural details to individual pieces of furniture can benefit from his skill with traditional hand-applied techniques. Each finish is developed specifically to the requirements of the client. He can match nearly any finish and recreate authentic period finishes. RCP Fine Finish. 763.545.9447. www.rcpfinefinish.com.

Stop the Milledgeville Housing Ordinance
As of November 13th, the Historic Society of Milledgeville will be enforcing that "'no more than 3 non-related people" can living a historic home. The Milledgeville City Council will be enforcing this on a complaint system. If ANYONE has a complaint against a historic home, the City Counsel will come and force the occupants to prove they have no more than 3 people living in your home. If a person cannot prove there are less than three unrelated people they will have to pay up to $1000 per night per person, until they move out. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN Students will be displaced mid-semester, homes will be vacant, and the housing market will decline in Milledgeville. Forcing students out is wrong. Support the students of GCSU by signing a petition.

For as far back as I can remember, survivors of the lost tribe of Atlantis, as I like to refer to Cuban exiles, turned to the spirit world for answers to questions whose responses were less than desirable.
A veritable hodgepodge of petitioners of divine intervention surrounded my formative years. There was l a espiritista (the spiritualist) Esther, who lived three doors down; my friend Dennis the "santero" (Santeria practitioner) who dressed in white my entire eighth grade; Tomas and Caridad, the Opus Dei couple who attended my church; and Raquel, my mom, who made a promesa (a promise) to Saint Jude vowing not to eat sweets for 20 years and, in exchange, the patron saint of lost causes was to rid me of a debilitating sinus condition.
As I drove down a familiar street in Hialeah a few days ago I was reminded how tangible faith is in the gritty, hard-scrabble city.
Amidst beaten up Japanese cars, cement laden "lawns" and security bars over front doors lay objects and symbols emblematic of the residents' aspirations, desires and beliefs.
Subtlety has never been highly regarded in the capital of pipe fitters and tow truck drivers — front yards are adorned with small structures (urns) where religious statues and figurines of all faiths and beliefs are on display. It is a place where the harshness of blue-collar living has never quelled the magical realism that its inhabitants cling to.
This is a city where even the staunchest critic of religion periodically puts out a glass of water to lighten the spiritual ambiance or every now and again lights a candle to a saint under the guise of, "por si acaso" (just in case there's something to it).
Recently, I was reacquainted with one of my childhood friend's sister, Rosie Jimenez, who to my amazement, provides a service that is as necessary in Hialeah as that of a car mechanic, house painter or plumber. You see, Rosie restores fine art pieces and among the most solicited items she is asked to work on are the religious statues of Hialeah.
"I think my greatest attribute and the single most important reason people come to me with their santos (saints) is that they know that I respect their faith. I understand how important these symbols are to them," Rosie shared. "I'm honored when someone asks me to work on their San Lázaro (Saint Lazarus) or Virgencita de la Caridad (Our Lady of Charity)," she said.
Much of the religious symbolism in Hialeah is many times incorrectly attributed to santeros, a catch-all misnomer for practitioners of the Lukumi religion rooted in West Africa. It is hard to decipher what the specific faith is of the person who has a religious statue in front of their home. "Practitioners of Afro Cuban faiths are not the only ones who worship their deities that openly, "explained Oba Ernesto Pichardo, co-founder of the Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye. "Catholics and spiritualists also display their saints, particularly in Hialeah."
Pichardo, knows a thing or two about impassioned religious crusades. He took his charges of "persecution based on religious beliefs" against the City of Hialeah all the way to the Supreme Court and came away with a unanimous, landmark decision that not only, strongly supported Pichardo's claims of "discrimination" but also upheld the right of Santeria practitioners to worship freely — including animal sacrifice — and openly without fear of prejudicial reprisals, much less from their local governments.
"I'm not certain if Hialeah is where the largest concentration of practitioners of Santeria (outside of Cuba) reside, but I can certainly tell you that it is one of the top hot spots along with New York and Puerto Rico," explained Pichardo.
I moved out of Hialeah long ago and have revised my faith over the years. Ironically, no matter how agnostic I've become, I readily admit to occasionally lighting a candle or two for a saint in return for my daughter's well being — just in case there's something to it.

ELMIRA, N.Y. - The No. 3-ranked Elmira College women's hockey team scored once goal early and two more late to blank visitin Hamilton 3-0 on Saturday night.
