Ellen Lee DeGeneres (/dɨˈdʒɛnərəs/; born January 26, 1958) is an American stand-up comedian, television host, actress, writer, and television producer.[1] She was the star in the popular sitcom Ellen from 1994 to 1998, and has her syndicated talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show since 2003.
Her stand up career started in the early 1980s, culminating in a 1986 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, who likened her to Bob Newhart, and invited her for an onscreen chat after her set. She was the first comedienne invited by Johnny Carson to join him, a national, and the most influential endorsement available at the time for comics. As a film actress, she starred in Mr. Wrong (1996), appeared in EDtv (1999), and The Love Letter (1999), and provided the voice of Dory in the Disney-Pixar animated film Finding Nemo (2003), for which she was awarded the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, the only time a voice performance has won a Saturn Award. In 2010 she was a judge on American Idol for its ninth season.
She starred in two television sitcoms, Ellen from 1994 to 1998, and The Ellen Show from 2001 to 2002. During the fourth season of Ellen in 1997, she came out publicly as lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Shortly afterwards, her character, Ellen Morgan, also came out to a therapist played by Winfrey, and the series went on to explore various LGBT issues including the coming-out process. In 2008, she married her long-term girlfriend Portia de Rossi.
DeGeneres has hosted the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, and the Primetime Emmys. She has authored three books, and started her own record company, Eleveneleven. She has won 13 Emmys, 14 People's Choice Awards, and numerous other awards for her work and charitable efforts.
Early life and education
DeGeneres was born and raised in Metairie, Louisiana, the daughter of Elizabeth Jane "Betty" Pfeffer, a speech therapist, and Elliott Everett DeGeneres, an insurance agent.[2][3] She has one brother, Vance, a musician and producer. She is of French, English, German, and Irish descent. She was raised as a Christian Scientist until age 13. In 1973, her parents filed for separation and were divorced the following year. Shortly after, Ellen's mother married Roy Gruessendorf, a salesman. Betty Jane and Ellen moved with Gruessendorf from the New Orleans area to Atlanta, Texas. Vance stayed with his father. On a February 2011 episode of her show, she told her studio audience of a letter from the New England Historic Genealogical Society confirming she is 15th cousin to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge via their shared common ancestor Thomas Fairfax.[4][5]
DeGeneres graduated from Atlanta High School in May 1976, after completing her first years of high school at Grace King High School in Metairie, Louisiana. She moved back to New Orleans to attend the University of New Orleans, where she majored in communication studies. After one semester, she left school to do clerical work in a law firm with a cousin, Laura Gillen. She also held a job selling clothes at the chain store the Merry-Go-Round at the Lakeside Shopping Center.[citation needed] Her early jobs included working at J. C. Penney,[6] being a waitress at TGI Friday's and another restaurant, a house painter, a hostess, and a bartender. She relates much of her childhood and career experiences in her comedic work.
Stand-up comedy
DeGeneres started performing stand-up comedy at small clubs and coffee houses. By 1981 she was the emcee at Clyde's Comedy Club in New Orleans. DeGeneres cites Woody Allen and Steve Martin as her main influences at this time.[7] In the early 1980s she began to tour nationally; and, she was named Showtime's Funniest Person in America in 1982.[8] In 1986, she appeared for the first time on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, who likened her to Bob Newhart.[7] When Carson invited her for an onscreen chat after her performance, she became the first comedienne to have been offered that opportunity.[8]
Film career
Early screen work
Ellen's television and film work in the late 1980s and early 1990s included roles on television in Open House and in the film Coneheads. In 1992, producers Neal Marlens and Carol Black cast DeGeneres in their sitcom Laurie Hill, in the role of Nurse Nancy MacIntyre. The series was canceled after only four episodes, but Marlens and Black were so impressed with DeGeneres' performance that they soon cast her in their next ABC pilot, These Friends of Mine, which they co-created with David S. Rosenthal.
Ellen's Energy Adventure
DeGeneres starred in a series of films for a show named Ellen's Energy Adventure, which is part of the Universe of Energy attraction and pavilion at Walt Disney World's Epcot. The film also featured Bill Nye, Alex Trebek, Michael Richards, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The show revolved around DeGeneres's falling asleep and finding herself in an energy-themed version of Jeopardy!, playing against an old rival, portrayed by Curtis, and Albert Einstein. The next film had DeGeneres hosting an educational look at energy, co-hosted with Nye. The ride first opened on September 15, 1996, as Ellen's Energy Crisis, but was quickly renamed to the more positive-sounding Ellen's Energy Adventure.
Television career
Open House (1989–1990)
DeGeneres's first regular TV role was in a short-lived Fox sitcom called Open House. She played the role of Margo Van Meter, an office worker at the Juan Verde Real Estate company. The show co-starred Alison LaPlaca and Mary Page Keller.
Ellen (1994–1998)
DeGeneres's comedy material became the basis of the successful 1994–1998 sitcom Ellen, named These Friends of Mine during its first season. The ABC show was popular in its first few seasons due in part to DeGeneres's style of observational humor; it was often referred to as a "female Seinfeld."[9]
Ellen reached its height of popularity in February 1997, when DeGeneres made her homosexuality public on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Subsequently her character on the sitcom came out of the closet in April to her therapist, played by Oprah Winfrey, revealing that she's gay.[10] The coming-out episode, titled "The Puppy Episode", was one of the highest-rated episodes of the show. The series returned for a fifth season, but experienced falling ratings due to ABC's cutting back on promoting the show. It was believed that The Walt Disney Company, ABC's parent owner, had become uncomfortable with the subject matter depicted on the show now that DeGeneres' character was openly gay. In May 1998, Ellen was canceled. DeGeneres returned to the stand-up comedy circuit, and later re-established herself as a successful talk show host.
The Ellen Show
DeGeneres returned to series television in 2001 with a new CBS sitcom, The Ellen Show.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show
DeGeneres launched a daytime television talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September 2003. Amid a crop of several celebrity-hosted talk shows surfacing at the beginning of that season, such as those of Sharon Osbourne and Rita Rudner, her show has consistently risen in the Nielsen ratings and received widespread critical praise. It was nominated for 11 Daytime Emmy Awards in its first season, winning four, including Best Talk Show. The show has won 25 Emmy Awards in its first three seasons on the air. DeGeneres is known for her dancing and singing with the audience at the beginning of the show and during commercial breaks. She often gives away free prizes and trips to be in her show's studio audience with the help of her sponsors.
DeGeneres celebrated her thirty-year class reunion by flying her graduating class to California to be guests on her show in February 2006. She presented Atlanta High School with a surprise gift of a new electronic LED marquee sign. In May 2006, DeGeneres made a surprise appearance at the Tulane University commencement in New Orleans. Following George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton to the podium, she came out in a bathrobe and furry slippers. "They told me everyone would be wearing robes," she said. Ellen then went on to make another commencement speech at Tulane in 2009.[11]
The show broadcast for a week from Universal Studios Orlando in March 2007. Skits included DeGeneres going on the Hulk Roller Coaster Ride and the Jaws Boat Ride. In May 2007, DeGeneres was placed on bed rest due to a torn ligament in her back. She continued hosting her show from a hospital bed, tended to by a nurse, explaining "the show must go on, as they say." Guests sat in hospital beds as well. On May 1, 2009, DeGeneres celebrated her 1000th episode, featuring celebrity guests such as Oprah Winfrey, Justin Timberlake, and Paris Hilton, among others.[citation needed]
American Idol
On September 9, 2009, it was confirmed that DeGeneres would replace Paula Abdul as a judge of the ninth season of American Idol. Her role started after the contestant auditions, at the beginning of "Hollywood Week".[12][13] It is reported that DeGeneres also signed a contract to be a judge on the show for at least five seasons.[14] She made her American Idol debut on February 9, 2010. However, on July 29, 2010, DeGeneres and Fox executives announced that the comedienne would be leaving American Idol after one season. In a statement, DeGeneres said that the series "didn't feel like the right fit for me".[15]
Award shows
2001 Emmy Awards
DeGeneres received wide exposure on November 4, 2001, when she hosted the televised broadcast of the Emmy Awards. Presented after two cancellations due to network concerns that a lavish ceremony following the September 11 attacks would appear insensitive, the show required a more somber tone that would also allow viewers to temporarily forget the tragedy. DeGeneres received several standing ovations for her performance that evening, which included the line: "What would bug the Taliban more than seeing a gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews?"
In August 2005, DeGeneres hosted the 2005 Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony held on September 18, 2005. This was three weeks after Hurricane Katrina, making it the second time she hosted the Emmys following a national tragedy. She also hosted the Grammy Awards in 1996 and in 1997.
79th Academy Awards
On September 7, 2006, DeGeneres was selected to host the 79th Academy Awards ceremony, which took place on February 25, 2007.[16] This makes her the first openly gay or lesbian person to have hosted the event. During the Awards show, DeGeneres said, "What a wonderful night, such diversity in the room, in a year when there's been so many negative things said about people's race, religion, and sexual orientation. And I want to put this out there: If there weren't blacks, Jews and gays, there would be no Oscars, or anyone named Oscar, when you think about that."[17] Reviews of her hosting gig were positive, with one saying, "DeGeneres rocked, as she never forgot that she wasn't just there to entertain the Oscar nominees but also to tickle the audience at home."[18] Regis Philbin said in an interview that "the only complaint was there's not enough Ellen."
DeGeneres was nominated for an Emmy Award as host of the Academy Awards broadcast.[19]
86th Academy Awards
On August 2, 2013, it was announced that Ellen will host the Academy Awards on March 2, 2014 for the second time.[20]
A selfie orchestrated by 86th Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres during the March 2, 2014 broadcast is the most retweeted image ever.[21][22] DeGeneres said she wanted to homage Meryl Streep's record 17 Oscar nominations by setting a new record with her, and invited other Oscar celebrities to join them. The resulting photo of twelve celebrities broke the previous retweet record within forty minutes, and was retweeted over 1.8 million times in the first hour.[23][24][25] By the end of the ceremony it had been retweeted over 2 million times, less than 24 hours later, it had been retweeted over 2.8 million times.[22][23] As of 9 March 2014[update], it has been retweeted over 3.3 million times.[22] The group selfie effort was parodied by Lego, and Matt Groening with The Simpsons.[26][27] It beat the previous record, 778,801, which was held by Barack Obama, following his victory in the 2012 presidential election.[25][28][29]
Other ventures
Voice acting
DeGeneres lent her voice to the role of Dory, a fish with short-term memory loss, in the 2003 animated Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo. The film's director, Andrew Stanton, claimed that he chose Ellen because she "changed the subject five times before one sentence had finished" on her show.[30] For her performance as Dory, DeGeneres won the Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for "Best Supporting Actress"; "Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie" from the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards; and the Annie Award from the International Animated Film Association for "Outstanding Voice Acting". She was also nominated for a Chicago Film Critics Association Award in the "Best Supporting Actress" category. She also provided the voice of the dog in the prologue of the Eddie Murphy feature film Dr. Dolittle. Her win of the Saturn Award marked the first and only time the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films has given the acting award for a voice performance.
Commercial spokeswoman
In November 2004, DeGeneres appeared, dancing, in an ad campaign for American Express. Her most recent American Express commercial, a two-minute black-and-white spot in which she works with animals, debuted in November 2006 and was created by Ogilvy & Mather. In 2007, the commercial won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial.
DeGeneres began working with Cover Girl Cosmetics in September 2008, for which she has been criticized, as her animal-friendly values clash with Procter and Gamble's (the maker of Cover Girl Cosmetics) animal testing.[31] Her face is the focus of new Cover Girl advertisements starting in January 2009. The beauty campaign will be DeGeneres's first.[32]
On December 3, 2011, DeGeneres headlined the third annual "Change Begins Within" gala for the David Lynch Foundation held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[33][34]
In spring 2012, DeGeneres became the spokesperson for J. C. Penney in a tour and advertising campaign.[6]
On May 26, 2010, Ellen announced on her show that she was starting her own record label entitled "eleveneleven". Ellen explained her choice of name, claiming that she often sees the number 11:11 when looking at her clocks, that she found Greyson on the 11th, and that the singer's soccer jersey has the number 11.[35] She mentioned that she had been looking for videos of performances on YouTube to start her label. The first act she signed to the label is Greyson Chance.[36]
Personal life
In 2007, Forbes estimated DeGeneres's net worth at US$65 million.[37] Madonna is DeGeneres' eleventh cousin.[38]
She is a fan of the National Football League, and has shown particular support for the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers.[39] In 2011, she attended a Saints practice dressed as Packers Hall of Famer Don Hutson.[40]
Sexual orientation and relationships
In 1997, DeGeneres came out as lesbian. The bold disclosure of her sexual orientation sparked clamorous interest by American tabloids.[41] The contentiousness of the media coverage stunted DeGeneres' professional career and left her "mired in depression".[41] That same year, she started a romantic relationship with actress Anne Heche that lasted until August 2000.[42] In her book Love, Ellen, DeGeneres's mother, Betty DeGeneres describes being initially shocked when her daughter came out, but has become one of her strongest supporters; she is also an active member of Parents & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) and spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign's Coming Out Project.
From 2001 to 2004, DeGeneres maintained a close affair with actress/director/photographer Alexandra Hedison.[43] The couple appeared on the cover of The Advocate after their separation had already been announced to the media.[44]
Since 2004, DeGeneres has had a relationship with Portia de Rossi. After the overturn of the same-sex marriage ban in California, DeGeneres announced on a May 2008 show that she and de Rossi were engaged,[45][46] and gave de Rossi a three-carat pink diamond ring.[47] They were married on August 16, 2008, at their home, with nineteen guests including their mothers.[47] The passage of Proposition 8 cast doubt on the legal status of their marriage, but a subsequent California Supreme Court judgment validated it because it occurred before November 4, 2008.[48][49] DeGeneres and de Rossi live in Beverly Hills, with three dogs and four cats.[50] On August 6, 2010, de Rossi filed a petition to legally change her name to Portia Lee James DeGeneres[51] The petition was granted on September 23, 2010.[52]
Veganism and animal rights
DeGeneres is a vegan who calls herself a "big animal lover".[53][54] De Rossi is a vegan as well.[54] Ellen co-ordinates a vegan outreach website titled 'Going Vegan with Ellen'.[55] She intended to open a vegan tapas bar, Bokado, in Los Angeles, but plans fell through.[56]
The site for The Ellen DeGeneres Show contains a section called "Going Vegan With Ellen," in which she promotes "Meatless Mondays" and features vegan recipes.[57] She has several times invited Humane Society of the United States CEO Wayne Pacelle to speak on her show about the organization's efforts in animal protection legislation. In April 2013, she donated $25,000 to stop Ag-Gag anti-whistleblower legislation in Tennessee, which would prohibit undercover investigators from recording footage of animal abuse on farms.[58]
DeGeneres served as campaign ambassador to Farm Sanctuary's Adopt-A-Turkey Project in 2010, asking people to start "a new tradition by adopting a turkey instead of eating one" at Thanksgiving.[59]
In November 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton named her a Special Envoy for Global AIDS Awareness.[60]
On December 3, 2011, DeGeneres opened the show at the David Lynch Foundation's 3rd annual "Change Begins Within" gala at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to raise funds to bring Transcendental Meditation to at-risk populations suffering from epidemic levels of chronic stress and stress-related disorders. She says: "TM is the only time I have that stillness… it gives me this peaceful feeling, and I love it so much. I can't say enough good things about it. All the benefits that you can achieve from sitting still and going within—it really is a beautiful experience. David Lynch is such a wonderful man to start this foundation to help people."[61][62]

Travelling Companions
Exodus is delighted to be working in partnership with our sister company, Headwater.
Headwater share many of the same values as Exodus – travelling responsibly, with a true passion for finding the hidden corners of the world.
Staying in quality family-run hotels, offering comprehensive route notes and information, Headwater trips also offer the chance to truly get under the skin of a destination.
Headwater Cross-Country Skiing Trips offers a flexibility of style that is enviable, providing expert tuition whilst placing a high value on your free time, leaving you to enjoy the locale at your own pace. Whether you continue skiing or try tobogganing, snowshoeing or simply relax with a glass of wine, the choice is yours. As a result, there can be no qualms about keeping pace with others, or feeling constrained by slower members of a group; ski lessons are totally tailored to your abilities. You could even bring your children, if they're as keen on the snow as you are. Or if you prefer to travel solo but like the security of a trusted company behind you, then a single supplement will be applied.
Travel and relax as a local would, on skis and in style. Ski hire is included on every cross-country skiing trip, along with most evening meals and exquisite accommodation, of three or four star quality. If you fully approve of having creature comforts at the end of the day, take a look at skiing in Seefeld, Dobbiaco and Davos.
If this isn't appealing enough, there's also the option to tailor your own trip. Love the look of our week in Davos, but only have a weekend? Not a problem – any Headwater itinerary can be altered to suit your needs, without having to worry about pleasing the rest of your group.

On tap at the new MSBC loft, Old Whiskers is a cloudy pale yellow with a nice glow to it, on top of which rest a pillowy white head leaving scattered lace. Looks so much like their wit, I thought they poured me the wrong beer, but on comparison, it's a touch darker. Still a little light for a hefe by my book.
Smell is grainy, some clove and citrus, no banana esters, but a nice sourness from the wheat. Good, but had I not been told, I'd assume I was smelling a wit.
Taste is, again, good, but more wit then hefe. Like the nose, a grainy wheat beer, with very little in the way of Bavarian esters, just some clove really.
nice, clean grains, nicely balance use of coriander/citrus spices, estery without being to robust overall, a hint of soap and a long finish.
Mouthfeel is very creamy, with a full mouthfeel but a dry crispness and medium body.
Drinkability is pretty good. A tasty beer, but not a hefe to me at all.
Serving type: on-tap

Appearance: orange, small head, and a little lacing.
Smell: banana, wheat, and apple.
Taste: banana, cloves, and wheat.
Mouthfeel: medium-light.
This is a good brew. I think it is best suited for drinking in mass quantities.

Special thanks to OakedCanuck who sent this to me as part of a trade.
I pour the entire 22oz. bottle into a large-stemmed Margaritaville beer glass.
A: Extremely cloudy yellow/orange with a very generous inch to inch.5 head. Superb retention throughout the session.
S: Banana and tons of German wheat filled the nose. Nothing really special, but still good.
T: Refreshing without being too sweet, nice fruit taste, and a slight echo of chamomile hits the palate on the finish. This one is pretty spicy for the style, but I personally dig that about it.
M: Smooth, carbonation is fantastic, and ABV is undetectable (as it really should be in a Hefeweizen).
D: Even though the weather is getting cooler, I enjoyed this one on a pleasant moderately cool day and I would gladly drink this one again. And to think...I used to hate this style! What was I thinking?

Reminds me of a helles lager. Definitely German style, thick & fullfilling, creamy, malty, light. Sweet not bitter on the taste. One of my favorite hefe's to date although my list on that style is short. Smells like a witbier. Clovey and a light spicy citrus, reminds me of a wit, but I like it. Kick it!

Appears a hazy gold with a small white cap that quickly fades into a small cap and collar. Mild traces of spots are left around the glass.
Smell is of sulfer, citrus, lemon, zest, mandarin orange, and spicy yeast.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas, citrus, and doughy yeast.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, citrus, & zesty yeast.

Old whiskers pours hazy and yellow with decent head. The nose has some grain and straw and banana in it with some spice. The first taste is wheaty and creamy, banana, slight clove. some banana notes are in there along with slight citrus. mouthfeel is kind of thin, and stays so as the beer warms. Very drinkable, but it drinks so fast. A good hef so give it a try. A great summer/fall slammer. Defenitely will be sessioning this one.
Edit: Hefs have grown on me, and I have found this to be a very good american made example of the style.

Picked this up from the brewery. Great place, by the way. Pours a slightly cloudy, pale golden body with lemony edges and a fluffy cushion of bright white head. Moderately classic hefe nose with tangy yeast, banana, clove, and soapy wheat apple. Taste starts out with crisp, snappy wheat edges. Light fruitiness and faint citrus flavors. Bready middle with banana and clove toward the yeasty finish. Not bad, but not quite as authentically hefe as I like--almost more of an American wheat (albeit a nicely made one). Medium-bodied with a proteiny, creamy feel. Nice summer beer for up here in Alaska.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5
Bottle date of first week of March, 2007.
Pours hazy gold with a fluffy white head.
Two inches of dense foam receded to a quarter inch within several minutes, leaving behind some fairly decent lacework.
Aromatics are mildly spicy with hints of lemon, clove, and bannana.
Fairly mainstream for a hef, and not quite bavarian in nature.
The mouthfeel is somewhat creamy, but lacking some of the effervescense desirable in Hefs.
Pallet is quaffable and crisp. Well balanced, with light peppery notes dusted on bannana and wheat stalks.
Bitterness is mild and allows some light residuals to pull through on the finish.
An easy drinker, with mostly American Hef character, and Bavarian undertones.
Thanks to Timmcd64 for hooking me up once again!

Thanks to timmcd64 for this unexpected gift from Alaska!
Appearance: A slightly cloudy golden color with a mild orange hue. A thick, creamy white head which turns to a sustaining lace after a while.
Aroma: A good citrusy, yeasty aroma, with a bit of clove
Taste and Mouthfeel: Quite spicy; a very pleasant yeast flavor, with strong, citrusy lemon notes. Also some hints of banana and clove. A very mild hop character. A light to medium mouthfeel with tangy carbonation.
This is one of the spiciest hefes Ive tried. Overall, quite delicious. Highly recommended.

"I bought my car from a dealer who took it from a sale from a leasing company. I have owned the car 9 years and have driven it up to 95,000 miles and the engine and drive train are as good as the day I bought it. I have owned Many Acuras, Toyota Nissans, as well as exotic cars. The quality is there with every one of them and when I consider the significantly lower price tag, any other comments would be nit picking. I serviced it regularly and it runs great. A few minor mechanical issues with some items but overall only after 8-10 years did anything need maintenance. Key mechanicals of engine , brakes, transmission and 4wd are awesome. Tons of power for long drives as well!"

"Great all around car. It does surprisingly well in the mud for having such a small motor. Never thought id own a car with less than a 4.0l but I have to say that it will still spin tires taking a corner from a dead stop. The A/T option is great and I'll suffer the 2mpg gas drop for the extra rpms ans less shifting. I've got up to 24.7mpg highway with passengers and the hatch loaded down with camping, fishing, and shooting equipment. I'm not sure if there all like this but my 2005 runs a pretty high 30000+-rpm at 70 mpg but drop back down to 25000 at 65 or 75. Every car has its nit-picky spots. But overall I've done nothing but oil changes and air filter since I've owned it. I'm going to do spark plugs and check the rear and front end fluid levels and get a new battery pretty soon. May hold off till 90000 miles to keep it even in the log. This thing handles like a car. I can take windy roads at 75mph without too much issue. It probly has a lot to do with the low ground clearance issues. But its not really a off road toy like a lifted cherokee ( previously had a 96 cherokee 4wd) but it sure makes up for that in comfort. I'm 6'1" 175lbs and its hard to find a car that's comfortable to drive for long periods of time. I wouldn't of ever bought the 3rd row seating options because as is, its not comfy for grown people to ride along in the back seats. But it would be fine for the kids. This little 2.7L is pretty surprising to be honest. With the longer shift time you get with the A/T button engaged, you can really move. My buddy and his 4wd v8 2010 chevy pickup has a hard time keeping up and once we hit the back roads I show him up since this thing handles so great. Overall it gets up to 25+-mpg, affordable insurance, safe, family suv that does great offroad too. The cars pretty simple and clean under the hood. Old fashion screw on oil filter and everything. Still haven't had any oil, tranny, axle leaks and she starts every time. The only real down fall is there's not too much bolt on performance upgrades atleast not in the USA for them. But if you just want a reliable vehicle id highly recomend it too anyone."

"I have had this car for 5 years and put about 45000 miles on it. I love the FWD for winter... I live in Utah so there's lots of snow. This car has always been reliable. I've only had trouble with the car battery which I replaced. The interior has kept really well, the exterior has not been as lucky. dings from obnoxious people who hit your car door with theirs in the parking lot, scratches, and a dent from the previous owner. For some reason the gas can lid cover fell off without my have doing anything to it, but it has not caused any problems for me. This is why I gave it a 9 on quality though. I love the space it gives on the inside and optional 3rd row seating if you need or fold down for cargo. I also love the folding 2nd row seats for more cargo. It has helped when friends/family move and we help out. Also there are multiple compartments for storage including an under the seat slide out drawer which is very nice. Also space for 4 cups in the middle, or extra compartments. also for an SUV it gets great gas mileage. 18-20 typically and sometimes I get 21 and 22. Very awesome."

India's Singh highlights bright side of crashing rupee
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sought to soothe worries about the Indian economy on Friday, telling parliament that the crashing value of the rupee was part of a needed adjustment that would make Asia's third-largest economy more competitive.
The speech was the veteran economist's first substantial comment to parliament since the rupee suffered its steepest ever monthly fall in recent weeks, bringing back memories of a 1991 balance of payments crisis that made Singh famous.
(Read more: Indian rupee extends slide to fresh record low)
Reading from a written statement, the prime minister promised his government would reduce the "unsustainably large" current account deficit undermining the currency.
"Clearly we need to reduce our appetite for gold, economize the use of petroleum products and take steps to increase our imports," he said.
But he said that a weaker currency was the natural outcome of several years of high inflation, and although the rupee had overshot in the foreign exchange market its decline would bring some economic benefits.
"To some extent, depreciation can be good for the economy as this will help to increase our export competitiveness and discourage imports," he said.
(Read more: Indian rupee charts in uncharted territory)
Singh's deft handling of the 1991 crisis helped launch 20 years of rapid economic growth and he has since been credited as the architect of India's emergence as a serious economic power.
Now in his eighties, Singh seems to have lost some of that agility and is often pilloried for staying mostly out of the public eye while the country's economy goes from bad to worse.
(Read more: How severe was India's slowdown in April-June?)
In response to his parliament speech, opposition leader Arun Jaitley said Singh's track record as prime minister was of populist policies, not reform.
"If you continue to follow the course, then the legacy that you leave behind will not be the legacy that you left behind as the finance minister. That legacy was different," Jaitley told the upper house.

Oh dearest readers, it is with a heavy heart that I write today. For this shall be my last letter to you before I return to Verona with Romeo. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for you have been incredibly helpful and supportive of me during my time here. You and the sisters were there for me from the very beginning, and I will never be able to thank you enough.
It is sad to think that soon, I will have completely vanished from this world. Even in Verona, those who travel far can sometimes be reached by letters. In your world, the concept of distance seems much less terrifying, for you have telephones and the Internet. Yet soon, none of your emails or phone calls or letters will reach me. Given time, I wonder if I shall be completely forgotten here. That is, this me that is a living, breathing person, and not just a tragic figure from a story.
Though I regret leaving you in such a way, I am looking forward to returning to my world and seeing those I had left behind. Even more, I am looking forward to putting all of my effort into changing my fate. It shan't be easy, but I am confident, for Romeo has agreed to help me. Somehow, I know we'll be able to do it together.
Thank you, once again, everyone. I have learned many things from you and from my time here. I wish to leave you with this advice based on my experiences: even when you feel strongly about something, be willing to listen to the thoughts of others. This way, when the time comes to make a decision, you can be sure to make one you won't regret.
With these words, I bid you farewell.

The file explorer
This episode demonstrates how Vim's native file browser can be used to explore and manipulate the file system.
I'm running my Core Vim Class online on Wednesday, March 5th. Tickets cost $255, but you can get the earlybird discount of $230 if you buy yours before February 26th.
The video demonstrates some of the functionality of the netrw plugin, which is usually distributed with Vim. Note that if the NERD_tree is installed, then the functionality described in this episode won't work for you.
Exploring the filesystem
The file explorer is just another Vim buffer, so you can navigate up and down with k
and j
keys, or jump to the bottom with G
, etc. If it is a large file listing, you may be quicker finding your target by searching for it.
There are a handful of useful commands for opening the file explorer – either in the current window or a split, focussing on the project root, or the directory of the most recent file edited. This table summarizes:
lazy | mnemonic | open file explorer |
:e. |
:edit . |
at current working directory |
:sp. |
:split . |
in split at current working directory |
:vs. |
:vsplit . |
in vertical split at current working directory |
:Explore |
at directory of current file |
:Se |
:Sexplore |
in split at directory of current file |
:Ve |
:Vexplore |
in vertical split at directory of current file |
Manipulating the filesystem
The file explorer includes commands for creating new files and directories, as well as renaming or deleting existing ones. This table summarizes these:
command | action |
% |
create a new file |
d |
create a new directory |
rename the file/directory under the cursor |
Delete the file/directory under the cursor |

There's a reason Kanye West hates the paparazzi so much -- it's a terrible reason -- but a reason nonetheless ... and it stems from a few rotten eggs, TMZ has learned.
It's no secret Kanye's been running on a short fuse since at least 2008, when he smashed a TMZ camera at LAX. After that, he vowed to have a more peaceful relationship with the media ... but that all changed in 2012.
Sources close to Kanye tell TMZ ... after he started getting serious with Kim Kardashian, he felt a couple of paps would cross the line and ask him inappropriate questions about their relationship in public. We're told he started to feel like certain paps were "heckling" him.
Things escalated in October 2012 during a trip to Miami ... when a local photog -- not a TMZ guy -- asked Kanye and Kim if they would be inviting Kris Humphries and Reggie Bush to their wedding.
Kanye was pissed ... and, rightfully so, felt the photog was just trying to antagonize him.
Things got worse a few months later, after Kim announced she was pregnant -- when another pap started hammering K&K about whether they would invite Ray J to the baby shower.
That, we're told, was the breaking point -- and from that moment on, Kanye decided to impose his "DON'T EVER TALK" policy on anyone with a camera.
Here's the problem ... if Kanye doesn't want to talk to a pap, that's fine -- he has that right. But when he starts attacking people and smashing camera equipment ... dude, you crossed the line.
Take this example, Kanye -- if a white person walked up to you and said the N-word, would you hate all white people??? Would you try to ATTACK every white person you encountered???
Bottom line -- we get why he's upset ... but seriously, GET OVER IT.
Keep doing it, keep being agitated and pissed off and etc. One day he is going to burst a vein and get stroke. Keep cool dude.
What a sorry excuse. Does he think this will help him? It makes him look like a bigger tool. So a few bad apples mad Kayne all sad and rage. Big deal. He's in the celebrity world. Either he needs to stop acting like a Class A Diva or lock him inside a house for the rest of his life. Either or is fine.
"Take this example, Kanye -- if a white person walked up to you and said the N-word, would you hate all white people??? Would you try to ATTACK every white person you encountered???"
TMZ you guys are really trying to start a race war, you guys are making matters worse with your remarks.
Kanye knows paps come with the territory. He should ignore them unless he is threatened. Paps want to get a reaction out of him and he falls for it.
You papz are idiots. I would call him to his challenge of don't talk by doing just that! Trust me, it will take him a week and he'll be asking you guys questions. He is an idiot. And he should feel like **** that his kids image is more sought after than him! Get over yourself Kenvy, Your mr runner up always. Look at JayZ? Good family, house, life, and record! Something your punkish ass will never have with Kim. Kanye needs to step back behind the curtain where he belongs. Toxic.
Finally. It's long overdue. TMZ has stopped allowing Kris Jenner to create excuses and spin spin spin. The fact is that there is no reasonable excuse why Kanye is angry 100% of the time. It's not just a paps thing. Look at the situation with Taylor Swift. He's sick and so self absorbed it's painful to watch. He fits right in with the Kardashians EXCEPT for one aspect: They thirst to have the paps take pics and he recoils at the thought of being anywhere in the public eye. He and Kim want completely opposite lives. It won't last much longer and then the lawyers will argue how much she and her mother can sell out the kid for. The real loser in all of this is the baby-if there even IS ONE. I have doubts.
Kanye shoves a 10k camera and threatens a man who is doing his job while complimenting Kanye and you all think it's just fine? My God, don't ever serve on a jury. You couldn't decipher solid evidence if it slapped you in the head. Stop making this a racist event. It's not. Nothing here was out of line except this rapper touching a camera that belongs to TMZ. He's already destroyed one of their cameras in the same local in the same situation. Put the blame where it belongs. KANYE WEST.
It looks like he forgot to take his lamotrigine pill that morning. Paparazzi keep doing it. Its good for him.

Nourishing Your NogginThe top 5 vitamins and minerals to boost your brainpower By Denise Mann
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD Sept. 22, 2004 -- We all know by now that eating a healthful diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help us stay slim and lower our risk for heart disease, but did you know that a growing body of research shows that this type of diet also preserves memory, boosts alertness, and may even stave off the blues and prevent Alzheimer's disease! It's true! "Nutrition plays a significant and crucial role over the long run and the short run in brain health," says Ray Sahelian, MD, a Marina Del Ray, Calif.-based physician and author of Mind Boosters. "We can maintain a healthy and active mind well into our 80s and 90s by eating properly," he tells WebMD. Why tax your brain doing all the research for what it needs to thrive? WebMD did it for you by putting together a list of the top five brain-friendly nutrients you need to stay smart, starting with: Eating More E "For a long time, people believed that a common component of vitamin E called alpha tocopherol was most important, but another form called gamma tocopherol is definitely a protective antioxidant in brain disorders," says Aimee Shunney, ND, the coordinator of the educational and wellness program at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y. When you consume food rich in vitamin E, including almonds, green leafy vegetables, corn oil, sunflower oil, hazelnuts, and whole-grain flour, you get both alpha tocopherols and gamma tocopherols, she says. If you are choosing supplements, look for vitamin E with "mixed tocopherols" and take 400 IU a day, she says. Vitamin functions as an antioxidant and the brain is particularly susceptible to free radicals (damaging, unstable molecules). Some research indicates that vitamin E can delay progression of Alzheimer's disease and/or prevent it from occurring in the first place by reducing the free radicals damage! B Good to Yourself "B vitamins are involved in helping the formation of brain chemicals such as dopamine, epinephrine, and serotonin," Sahelian says. In fact, each B vitamin plays its own role in preserving brain function and mental acuity. Starting from folic acid (a B complex), which helps in the early brain development, these vitamins help in many aspects of metabolism. A few recent studies have shown a link between declines in memory and Alzheimer's disease in the elderly and inadequate levels of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. Reduced levels of folate are associated with high levels of homocysteine -- a marker of heart disease and stroke. Boosting B12 "Vitamin B12 has a number of roles including helping in the formation of myelin," Sahelian says. Myelin forms layers or a sheath around the nerve fibers and acts as insulation. Sahelian points out that B12 is mainly found in meats (beef, pork, lamb, veal, fish, and poultry), and an as result, vegetarians may be deficient. This deficiency could lead to nerve damage, memory loss, low moods, and mental slowness. His advice? Shoot for between 3 and 100 micrograms a day. It worked for nutritionist Molly Kimball's grandmother. "Sometimes as people age, they have impaired absorption of B12," says Kimball, a nutritionist at the Ochsner Clinic's Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. In fact, B12 deficiency can present as similar to Alzheimer's disease, she says. "My grandmother couldn't make sense until her doctor supplemented her B12," she tells WebMD. Filling Up on Folate Folic acid or folate is another important B vitamin for the brain, says Sahelian. "Getting adequate folate can make one a little more alert, and improve memory and focus." It helps lower blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine that is known to damage brain cells, he explains. It's found in abundant supply in many foods including beans, fruits, green leafy vegetables, lentils, and whole-wheat cereals. Shoot for 400 micrograms a day, he says. Stirring Up Serotonin With B6 Vitamin B6 helps convert 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5HTP) in into the mood chemical serotonin and it also helps in making dopamine. "These are big mood and alertness chemicals," he says. Aim for roughly 2 to 10 milligrams a day if you supplement. B6-rich foods include bell peppers, cranberries, turnip greens, cauliflower, garlic, tuna, mustard greens, and kale. Maximizing Magnesium "Magnesium is an important brain nutrient because it protects the brain from neurotoxins," says City Island, N.Y.-based Carolyn Dean, ND, MD, author of The Miracle of Magnesium. "Some enlightened surgeons give extra magnesium to their patients before and during surgery, especially brain surgery, for this reason," she tells WebMD. The dosage for protecting the brain in general is 300 milligrams one to three times a day. According to Dean, nuts, seeds, dark leafy greens, and whole grains have magnesium, but most other foods have little, she says. "Cooked and processed foods also lose a lot of magnesium making it a very deficient mineral." © 2005-2014 WebMD, LLC. All rights reserved. |

Hi Fanantics,
Looking for a recommendation for a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Probably $125-$150 range. Doing the cruise thing, but have a couple days in FL first, so looking for a property that is more vacation/downtown and/or beach than sleepover material. Must have a excellent 24 hour fitness facility. Usually stay at Starwood or Marriott properties. Travelling with friends, so the less kids the better.

I keep going back to this one, there is something special about it, yes the eyes, and of course your talent.. incredible image!
A masterpiece. You are a major talent in using colors to express emotions or just raw nature. Love your work.
Love the focus the image creates with their eyes, it really reaches to us in a more personal level
I love your work!
I love your work!
... I'm never one to make political statements, but I can't help but say kudos to you for your depiction of woman in your work. They all have a strength and intelligence in their gaze and I think their beauty comes from that (rather than them being "sexed up" and coy.) Pretty rare to find, much love to you!
