I bought this perfume for my mother last year as a new signature fragrance. She absolutely ADORED it and soon gave up wearing her previous fragrance, CK Euphoria, and wore this one every day. This is now her second 90ml bottle that I have bought for her. It's a gorgeous fragrance, very beautiful and feminine, and works in both Summer or Winter (although I think Winter is best). I believe it could be worn by women of all ages.

Cinema on me is sweet, powdery, fairly pleasant, and inoffensive.It makes me think of trying to drink fresh orange juice whilst my mouth is full of dolly mixture sweets,(not that I've tried.) After a while it fades to a powdery blossom scent with the smell of dolly mixture sweets and candied orange peel lingering in the distance. I quite like it but I don't love it, which I was hoping I would from the reviews I've read. So far my husband hasn't made any negative remarks about Cinema, and he only likes Dolce Vita on me. From reading about the perfume notes in Cinema I wondered if it might be similar in nature to Dolce Vita, but it's completely different. I have to say I won't be buying another bottle though, and I'll only be using it occasionally.

It may not be summer yet...
But a group of dogs is ready to show off their dock jumping skills.
This is the 45th Annual Bismarck Tribune Sports Show.
DockDogs is the largest presenter of dock jumping and dock diving dog performance sports in the world.
Most pups, some even sporting fancy outfits, get ready to make a big splash in front of the crowd.
But a few dogs, like Tate, may be wondering what's in this water.
"At the lake we tried it for the first time last summer and within about 10 minutes he was stutter stepping so he could launch himself off the end so we'll see though because this water's clear and I'm not sure it'll be the same for him," says Shelly Miller, Tate's Owner.
Tate eventually braved the un-lake-like water and fetched the ball for Shelly.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Happy new year from Nina in her favorite pose! :)
Progress as of today: 8.6 lbs lost so far, only 28.4 lbs to go!
Hello everyone,
I have definitely been missing, but it's been completely crazy over here. Planning a wedding overseas (I am getting married in May in my hometown in Brazil), moving out of state in January (back to Atlanta) and also shopping for a house. Oh and I do have a full time job and we have 3 dogs! Hahaha. Not a dull moment over here.
I really haven't been thoughtful of what I eat, have been wanting desert and cheese. i am lucky I haven't gained. But I really need to get back on track. So give me another day of lazyness and I promise monday I will go back to logging my food.
On other news, my best friend who is a super talented photographer took some really cute pictures of Jason and I and the dogs for the save the date card (she is based in LA, but she works in the whole country and her prices are reasonable, if you need a photographer, check her out www.cacasantoro.com). So here is how cute our save the date turned out! There's a white frame that you can't really see.
Anyway, the dogs sitting still crack me up!
Anyway, hope all of you are having a nice end of the year!
Progress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 30 lbs to go!
No progress on the diet at all, as I was out of town celebrating OUR ENGAGEMENT and then my birthday!
So yea I gained 1,4 lbs, but I am oh so happy!
J proposed on Nov 1st, in our house, and brought me gorgeous flowers.
We are happy as can be!
Hope all of you are happy and healthy! xoxoProgress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 30 lbs to go!
A little lower today. Made me wanna track. :)Progress as of today: 8.4 lbs lost so far, only 28.6 lbs to go!
Hello again, girls.
Another hiatus but here I am again! I always come back!
My trip to LA + parents visiting us in Houston equaled gaining a good few pounds! So I started WW online - this is my second week. I lost 4 lbs on the first week which was awesome and I am still above what I was before. Gee! Hoping this time counting the points and such makes me stay on track. Feeling good so far and survived my first weekend counting points. And I managed to have some ice cream (with baked pear, yum!) and a couple of glasses of champagne and stay within my points range. :)
While in LA, my friend who is a photographer, took some pictures of J and I. We didn't have much time so we went outside her apartment door for 5 minutes and she took these. I love them. :) And I had zero make up on! Haha
I will be popping in and out, once a week hopefully, since I am already tracking on the ww website.
Hugs to all!
Progress as of today: 7.6 lbs lost so far, only 29.4 lbs to go!
Tried on another dress that was tight, and it closed much easily now. Yay!
Got my period today. Not sure that was putting an extra 5lbs on me or the scale is nuts, so I will try to weight in again in a few days when that is over.
In any case, I do feel progress.
Late breakfast: 2 slices of bread 200, 2 scrumbled eggs, 180, 1/3 spoon of mayo 30 coconut water 45 - 455

Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 27.4 lbs to go!
Was looking back at my entries, 63 pages and they start in 2008. Before that I had another profile since 2007, I guess.
Anyway, found this. That's Jason, my boyfriend I live with today. My life is so much better since I met him. He's a great guy. It was cute to find this. :)
grumpy - Tuesday Feb 14, 2012 edit - delete
"Also, I met a guy. Our first date was at the dog park on Sunday, that turned into dropping our exhausted pups at his house (was closer to the park) and going to a very cute french restaurant. I like him a lot. Our next date is saturday, we're going to a burlesque show that some girls I know are in. That will be really cool at a venue called The Moulin Rouge that is inside of an antique store in Atlanta. Really looking forward to it and wanna dress up and look nice. Wish me luck, he seems like a good one. :)"
So yesterday another healthy eating day, below 1700 calories and the scale was even higher today! 212,4! Not nice, scale!!!
I won't change my weight on here, yet. Haha. I will make sure that scale is correct first. I wore a dress yesterday that has been too tight on me all summer. I figured I needed new ways to measure my progress and It fits perfectly. Maybe I am retaining a lot of liquid before my period? But then wouldn't the dress still be tight if I weight now (according to my scale) one pound more than when it was tight? Hmmm.
Anyway, can't pay much attention to it for now. Need to focus on keep logging my food and eating well.

Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 27.4 lbs to go!
This morning I got on my scale and it read 211. I was at 207.4 yesterday and had a healthy eating day, so this makes no sense at all and I am guessing my scale is messed up. I tried a couple of times and it's 211.
So I guess I will try to measure my progress with clothes now. Sigh.

For Darron West, the initial inspiration for the sound design came, appropriately enough, from the War of the Worlds broadcast of 1938. He and Bogart had worked on a presentation of the radio play at the West Bank Cafe early on in the process of bringing the SITI project to life. "What we were trying to attack in this thing is how to take cinematic ideas and transfer them to the stage," he explains. "And I thought, let's go back and start with the radio play, which was something I knew from college. That informed a lot of the structure of the piece; the radio sequences in War of the Worlds came directly from our work on the radio play."
During the course of his research - West says he saw Citizen Kane and The Trial at least 15 times each - the designer discovered that Welles - always known for his visual flair - was just as experimental with sound. "There's that story where a reporter asks him why he used this sound of a shrieking cockatoo coming out of nowhere, and Welles' response was simply, `Just to wake 'em up,' " West notes. "He was very, very attentive to sounds. There's an office scene in Kane with the specific sound of a clock ticking, which I latched onto for War of the Worlds, in the scene where Bernstein [Kane's managing editor in the movie, his friend in the play] is being interviewed. I used that to give the audience a line to understand that this is happening now. But that's what Welles was all about, all those various layers: the shutting of a door, cutting out a piece of music. He used sound basically the same way I like to use it in the theatre."
Welles often speaks directly to the audience; he even introduces the piece at the beginning. So does a film scholar, who discusses Welles' triumphs and tragedies in Hollywood. In order to delineate between the film and theatrical worlds, West miked the "film" actors but not the "stage" actors. The designer's biggest challenge was reconciling the heavily cinematic and radio scenes with the quiet theatrical moments. "I would have a huge radio sequence with all these sound effects - typewriters going, bells ringing, music, and actors speaking into microphones - at 85dB, finishing it all with a dial tone, and then the next thing you hear is a dry actor's voice. I was always dealing with getting the fully designed sections of the show to correlate with the sections that were just silent."
West used Marshall Electronics MXL2001 large diaphragm cardioid microphones on the film actors, "which for the money sound amazing," he notes. "I'd called a buddy at Full Compass, looking for some large diaphragm mics. Now, in an ideal world, I'd have three U87s up there, but we're a small company and there are other places to spend your budget dollar. So the guy at Full Compass recommended these to me, and I love them." The rest of West's spare rig features his stock equipment, including an Ensoniq ASR10 sampler workstation with a 100meg Zip drive, a Mackie 1402 console, Klark-Teknik signal processing, Denon 900 series cart mini-disk players, and EAW speakers. Other equipment used in the BAM production included a range of QSC amps, a Crest GTX 32-channel console, and Sennheiser wireless mics. "It's a tiny rig," he says. "I'm kind of old-fashioned when when it comes to my playback systems. I'm not into a lot of multichannel stuff anymore. I think we all got swept up in our toys in such a big way that we kind of forget about the act of making a play. As I've gotten older, I'm not interested in panning a train around a room anymore. Go to the movies if you want to see that."
West may have a relatively small budget for the SITI projects, but he is still no doubt the envy of his peers for the way in which sound is incorporated very early in the overall design process. Because of West's involvement with the War of the Worlds radio play last October, his involvement began even earlier, essentially from the project's inception. "What I usually end up doing is correlating notes and sounds with dramaturgy and style," he says. "Then I fill up with as much stuff as I possibly can on paper and do a pool of music and a pool of effects that I will not deviate from. I went into this show with about 300 to 400 music samples and sound effects already loaded in. And I restrict myself to that. So I can't run away during the process and get a great piece of music for a radio sequence we thought of that day. I need to find something with the palette that I pulled to make it work, and sometimes ideas will come out of that I didn't expect. We like to call it following the Ouija board." A perfect turn of phrase for a subject like Orson Welles and a project like War of the Worlds.
Scenery construction for War of the Worlds was by Actors Theatre of Louisville Scene Shop and The Production Studio. Costume construction was by Donna Langman Costumes, Mr. Tony, Harwood Lee, Margaret Fenske, and Actors Theatre of Louisville Costume Shop. Audio for the BAM production was provided by Full Compass. Light for BAM was mostly in-house. War of the Worlds is tentatively scheduled to be performed in St. Louis in the spring.

The NCAA has suspended the Georgia Bulldogs' A.J. Green for four games for the sale of a jersey. While some punishment was warranted, such a lengthy suspension was irresponsible overkill.
Georgia officials are hoping the NCAA makes a ruling on Green's eligibility as soon as Wednesday. . . . A person familiar with the NCAA investigation told ESPN.com that Green did not sell his jersey on eBay and received less than $1,000 for it. The source said Green has been forthcoming and honest with NCAA investigators, but added there were "some twists and turns" involved with the case. Green, a preseason All-SEC selection, also is linked to the NCAA's ongoing investigation into alleged improper contact with agents by players at Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina. But a person familiar with the investigation told ESPN.com that Green has adamantly denied attending the agent-sponsored party in Miami or ever traveling to South Florida. . . . Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told reporters he hoped to learn Green's fate sometime this week. "I'd be highly disappointed if we don't hear something this week," Richt said on Tuesday. "I would think we will."Mark Schlabach has the latest on the NCAA witch hunt. Go 'Dawgs!

If laughter truly is the best medicine, Mental Health America Hendricks County is offering a prescription.
The agency is preparing for a new fundraiser called "Laughing for the Health of it."
Tammi Jessup serves as executive director for the non-profit organization based in Avon.
"We look at our county to see how we can serve those with mental illness and to promote overall good mental health in the community," Jessup said.
"One in four people will have a diagnosable mental health issue during his or her lifetime.
It's important to be comfortable when talking about mental health."
She said the recent shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., once again brought up the issue of mental illness.
"It's important for people to know that only a very small percentage of mentally ill people act out in any kind of violent way," Jessup said.
"The mentally ill are more likely to be a victim of violence than to perpetrate a violent act."
She said treating a mental condition is just like treating a medical condition.
"Treating earlier is always better," she said. "The longer it goes untreated, the worse it gets."
MHAHC has a referral system for those in need of services.
"We have an extensive list of therapists," Jessup said. "We also do a lot of education."
She said the organization serves about 6,000 children a year through its youth programming.
"We serve children in preschool through high school," she said. "We also do a parental education program called, 'Active Parent.'"
MHAHC also helps organize several support and socialization groups for the community.
"We also do things for individuals in nursing homes," Jessup said.
"At Christmas time, every person living in a nursing home in Hendricks County receives a gift from us. These are people who may otherwise be forgotten."
The program's Youth Advisory Board focuses on preventing and educating people about suicide, self injurious behaviors, and eating disorders.
"The Youth Advisory Board hosts a concert every year," Jessup said.
"Between each band, a person will speak. This past year, it was very powerful. We had parents who had lost a child to suicide speak."
The Kids on the Block is a puppet program that has been around since the 1970s. The puppets can address a range of topics for local youth. Schools, churches, and just about any organization that deals with children can book the Kids on the Block to perform.
The youth also promote the GPR program.
"And yes, it sounds like CPR on purpose," Jessup said. "It stands for Question, Persuade, Refer. It is like CPR. Anyone can learn and help stop suicide. We provide them with information so they can identify potential symptoms of suicide."
MHAHC also partners with several other organizations to help provide community programs such as Stewards of Children, Hendricks County Kids Fair, Family Fun Day, and more.
"We can also help people with mental illness who may be having trouble with an agency," Jessup said. "We can go with them to an appointment and help speak for them. We are always more than willing to do that."
Mental Health America was once called the Mental Health Association. It changed its name and affiliations several years ago.
"Now every county does it differently," Jessup said. "We've found it's easier for us to know what needs to be done locally."
MHAHC is also one of four United Way agencies headquarted in Hendricks County.
"We also own our building," Jessup said. "The board held a capitol fund drive and was able to purchase this building."
Those who donated to the campaign were honored with a leaf on a tree painted in the organization's office.
"We rent the other side of our building to a dentist," Jessup said. "All of our building expenses are covered by the rent we receive. So all the funds we raise go to the programs we do for the community."
Other income sources including fund raising and fees for the Our Child Our Divorce program.
"Our wreath sales is one of our major fundraisers," Jessup said.
"We are always looking for other ways to raise funds."
"Laughing for the Health of It" will run from 6 to 9 p.m. April 20 at the Avon-Washington Township Park Pavilion. It will include a dinner catered by Stone Creek Catering.
"Then we will have a comedy show with at least three comedians who have agreed to perform," Jessup said. "We will have one headliner and a few opening acts."
There will also be a silent auction. "The funds raised will go to our general operating funds," she said.
"It will also go to fund our programs. It should be a very fun night."
The Mental Health America Hendricks County office is at 75 Queensway Drive, Suite A, Avon. For more information, call 272-0027.

CATEGORIES Action, Cinematical Seven, Cinematical(Hi all. I sat down to write something about remakes of '80s films (Clash of the Titans has me all nostalgic), but then i remembered this goofy little piece from February of '08. Enjoy.) --Scott Weinberg
Now that John McClane, Rocky Balboa and John Rambo have made their return to the big screen -- with Indiana Jones on his way -- the question seems pretty obvious: Who will be the next 1980s action hero to come out of retirement and enjoy one last explosion of mindless mayhem and crazy carnage? I have a few suggestions...
Marion "Cobra" Cobretti (Cobra, 1986) -- After the original First Blood, Stallone went a little insane and not only directed the hilariously bad Staying Alive ... he also starred opposite Dolly Parton in Rhinestone. So obviously it was time for A) Rambo 2, B) Rocky 4, and a powerfully mindless cop flick called Cobra. It grossed only about $50 milion, but that's pretty solid in 1986 money. Oh, and Stallone's subsequent movie? The arm-wrestling one. Other options for Sly: Gabe "Cliffhanger" Walker (which is apparently already in development), Frank "Lock Up" Leone, Lincoln "Over the Top" Hawk ... and (of course) Detective Ray Tango.
"Dirty" Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry, 1971; Magnum Force, 1973; The Enforcer, 1976; Sudden Impact, 1983; The Dead Pool, 1986) -- Pretty damn unlikely, but I'd love to see Dirty Harry polish off the pistol just one last time. Hell, send him after the terrorists! (Another, more realistic wish: Clint Eastwood will deliver at least one more western in the vein of The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, or Unforgiven.)
Snake Plissken (Escape from New York, 1981; Escape from L.A., 1996) -- I've lost track of how many times I've TRIED to enjoy Escape from L.A., but it just won't take. I know there's a remake on the way, but it'd still be pretty cool to see Kurt Russell don the eye-patch once more. Lord knows John Carpenter needs to bang out a good flick soon.
Axel Foley (Beverly Hills Cop, 1984; Beverly Hills Cop 2, 1987; Beverly Hills Cop 3, 1994) -- Talk of a BHC4 has been mumbled here and there for the past few years, but I'll believe it when I see it. If my only options are the Eddie Murphy of Norbit or the Eddie Murphy from Beverly Hills Cop, well gee ... that's not much of a decision at all.
Martin Riggs (Lethal Weapon, 1987; Lethal Weapon 2, 1989; Lethal Weapon 3, 1992; Lethal Weapon 4, 1998) -- How great would it be if this series, after beginning rather seriously and then devolving into lunacy, went full circle and delivered a Martin Riggs who (once again) contemplated suicide? I mean ... isn't that the gimmick that made the first movie so good?
"Mad" Max Rockatansky (Mad Max, 1979; The Road Warrior, 1981; Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, 1985) -- Yeah, I guess Mel Gibson won't be making any more action sequels any time soon. But another Max movie would make the fans pretty happy. It almost happened, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
John Matrix (Commando, 1985) -- What action fan wouldn't like to see what this big lug is up to these days? You could be get Alyssa Milano to reprise her role as the daughter -- only this time she's a world-famous exotic dancer who needs rescuing when she's abducted an all-lesbian commando unit. Ooh, that'd be cool. Other options for Arnie: Mark "Raw Deal" Kaminsky, Ben "The Running Man" Richards, Ivan "Red Heat" Danko ... and (of course) Dutch from Predator. (Seriously: Arnold in a true Predator sequel would rock.)
Note: I chose mainly the obvious ones because I figured some readers might want to throw a few favorites in. So which '80s action heroes do you want to see again?

The Duma were council assemblies that were created by the Emperor of Russia. It is a form of Russian governmental institution that was formed during the reign of the last Tsar, Nicholas II. It is also the term for a council to early Russian rulers (Boyar Duma), as well as for city councils in Imperial Russia ('Municipal dumas'), and city and regional legislative bodies in the Russian Federation.
In early Russian history[edit]
The term comes from the Russian verb думать (dumat') meaning "to think" or "to consider". The Boyar Duma was an advisory council to the grand princes and czar of Russia. The Duma was discontinued by Peter the Great, who transferred its functions to the Governing Senate in 1721.
Municipal dumas[edit]
Under the reign of Alexander II, several reforms were enacted during the 1860s and 1870s. These included the creation of local political bodies known as zemstvoes.[1] All owners of houses, tax-paying merchants and workmen are enrolled on lists in a descending order according to their assessed wealth. The total valuation is then divided into three equal parts, representing three groups of electors very unequal in number, each of which elects an equal number of delegates to the municipal duma. The executive is in the hands of an elective mayor and an uprava, which consists of several members elected by the duma. Under Alexander III, however, by laws promulgated in 1892 and 1894, the municipal dumas were subordinated to the governors in the same way as the zemstvos. In 1894 municipal institutions, with still more restricted powers, were granted to several towns in Siberia, and in 1895 to some in Caucasia.
State Duma in Imperial Russia[edit]
Under the pressure of the Russian Revolution of 1905, on 6 August 1905, Sergei Witte issued a manifesto about the convocation of the Duma, initially thought to be an advisory organ. In the subsequent October Manifesto, Nicholas II pledged to introduce basic civil liberties, provide for broad participation in the State Duma, and endow the Duma with legislative and oversight powers.
However, Nicholas II was determined to retain his autocratic power. Just before the creation of the Duma in May 1906, the Tsar issued the Fundamental Laws. It stated in part that Tsar's ministers could not be appointed by, and were not responsible to, the Duma, thus denying responsible government at the executive level. Furthermore, the Tsar had the power to dismiss the Duma and announce new elections whenever he wished.
The imperial State Duma was elected four times: in 1906, twice in 1907, and in 1912.
State Duma in the Russian Federation[edit]
The State Duma (Russian: Государственная дума, Gosudarstvennaya Duma, common abbreviation: Госдума, Gosduma) in Russia is the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia (parliament), the upper house being the Federation Council of Russia. Under Russia's 1993 constitution, there are 450 deputies of the State Duma (Article 95), each elected to a term of four years (Article 96); this was changed to a five-year term in late 2008. In previous elections of 1993, 1995, 1999 and 2003 one half of the deputies were elected by a system of proportional representation and one half were elected by plurality in single member districts. However, the 2007 Duma elections were carried out in a new format: all 450 deputies were elected by a system of proportional representation. Russian citizens at least 27 years old are eligible to run for the Duma (Article 97).

text: Alien Movies Like Prometheus It Came From Outer Space: Favorite Alien Movies of All Time by Michele Foley 10/09/12 16 Reactions 23 Shares Print 0 1 22 0 0 The latest alien film has landed in your home! Available on DVD today is Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus, the futuristic search for the origins of mankind that takes a space crew to the far reaches of space. Similar in tone to the original Alien film, the slow pacing and beautiful special effects make Prometheus a new classic in the sci-fi alien genre. There are plenty of other alien movies that are spectacular, so keep reading to see what's included in our list of all-time favorite alien films. Photos courtesy of 20th Century Fox Close Encounters of the Third Kind What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of Steven Spielberg's earliest hits, Close Encounters of the Third Kind tells the story of what might happen if aliens made contact with Earth. What's different (and great) about Spielberg's version is that his aliens are friendly. Rather than relying on lots of explosions and special effects, the film pulls you in through great storytelling as its characters go on a wild ride of wonderment, imagination, anxiety, and fear. 1 / 5 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clearly, Steven Spielberg has a thing for space and aliens. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial follows the story of Elliot (Henry Thomas), a young boy who takes in a stranded alien who is accidentally left behind on Earth. Elliot, along with his brother and sister (a young Drew Barrymore), helps E.T. get home while also keeping him a secret from their mom and the government. Completely cinematic and heartwarming, I dare you not to cry while watching this movie. 2 / 5 Invasion of the Body Snatchers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a freaky look at humans being invaded by Pod People — alien parasites that take on a human's likeness while destroying the original body. Like many classic and critically acclaimed films, Invasion of the Body Snatchers has had two remakes, but neither has managed to top the original. 3 / 5 District 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The sci-fi thriller District 9 uses an extraterrestrial plot line to explore themes of xenophobia and apartheid. After "docking" over Johannesburg, a group of sick aliens is taken in by the South African government but forced to live in a government-enclosed shanty town. All the while, the aliens receive subpar care and are routinely experimented on. The film follows a group's effort to escape and restart the mothership. Shot in the style of a mockumentary, District 9 is thought-provoking and not to be missed. 4 / 5 The Day the Earth Stood Still What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1951 classic The Day the Earth Stood Still is a constant on "Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time" critic lists. And for good reason: a big silver UFO lands in Washington revealing an alien that's not slimy, egghead, or lizard-like at all! Instead, he's a refined gent with a protector in the form of a massive, sleek, silver robot. The gent is also there on a mission — warn the inhabitants of Earth that they better change their ways or risk destroying their own civilization. 6 / 5 0 1 22 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Geeky MoviesPrometheusDistrict 9The Day The Earth Stood StillAlienInvasion Of The Body SnatchersAliensETMovie Aliens Roswell's UFO Incident: What Really Happened There? 7/08/13 The Space-Age Prometheus Technology We Want Now (Are You Listening, Scientists?) 6/08/12 Favorite Alien Movies From the '80s 10/13/11 UFO Sightings Take Flight in Recent Years 8/27/11 Space, Mars, and Little Green Men 8/07/11 5 Reasons to Watch Falling Skies This Summer 4/02/11 Invasion of the Body Snatchers It Came From Outer Space: Favorite Alien Movies of All Time 3/18/11 The Invasion: Still a Good Story, Boringly Updated 8/17/07 Alien It Came From Outer Space: Favorite Alien Movies of All Time 3/18/11 The Crimp Column at Christian Dior 9/29/08 Creepy-Ass Sci-Fi Valentine Is Killing Me 2/20/08 The Price Is Right: Equal Opportunity Alien Employer 10/24/07 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

IMF urges quick action to safeguard global economy
TOKYO, Japan (AP) – Global financial ministers called Saturday for quick and effective action to safeguard faltering economic growth and rebuild shaken confidence as they ended an annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
"Global growth has decelerated and substantial uncertainties and downside risks remain," an IMF advisory committee said in a communique. It exhorted advanced economies to carry through with needed structural reforms and "credible fiscal plans."
Decisive action is needed to "break negative feedback loops and restore the global economy to a path of strong, sustainable and balanced growth," it said.
It also urged emerging economies to adapt their own policies to help counter slowing growth in Europe and the United States.
The annual meeting of the IMF and World Bank, convened in Tokyo this year, has highlighted frustrations among many countries over drag on growth from the lingering debt crisis in Europe, plus alarm over a possible blow to the world's largest economy if the US fails to resolve an impasse over its budget deficit.
"A durable solution to the Euro area crisis would provide a much-needed boost to global recovery," Yi Gang, deputy governor of China's central bank told fellow financial leaders at the meeting Saturday of the IMF's International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC).
Yi said uncertainty over government debts in the U.S. and Japan was slowing recovery and causing "costly spill-over effects to the rest of the world."
Slower growth elsewhere is sapping the potential in the poorest countries, many of which depend on exports of minerals, oil and other commodities to the industrial countries.
"We should all be committed in our resolve to avoid a worst case scenario where strains in the euro area deepen, fiscal cliff and debt ceiling problems in the US are not resolved, and growth in emerging market economies continues to decline," said Pravin J Gordhan, South Africa's finance minister.
While most of the attention during the meeting was focused on the crises facing the biggest economies, the IMF and World Bank - whose mission is to fight poverty - have also emphasised the need to help protect the poor from the spill-over of slowdowns in richer nations.
The IMF announced it would devote US$1.1 billion in funds from windfall sales of gold to help fortify funds for low-cost loans for low-income countries.
Overall, the IMF and its member countries have made progress in shoring up the international financial system, said Tharman Shanmagaratnam, chairman of the IMFC.
"All agreed we are in a better position today than we were six months today, a better position with regard to the policy footing for getting growth restarted and for achieving fiscal consolidation in advanced economies," he said.
At Saturday's meeting of the IMFC, which advises the IMF and monitors the world financial system, officials from developing and emerging economies urged the US and European nations to prevent malaise in their regions from slowing global growth.

Clean, convenient, private, and lovely location...
The loft, which is conveniently located about 30mins from the city, provided us a relaxing lakeside location as opposed to being overcrowded in a motel room. The apartment was easy to find, had ample parking, was very accurately described, private, spotless-clean, and Denise was a pleasure to deal with. Both city and beaches are not too far, and there is a community shopping area with eateries, grocery, and Tim Horton's nearby. We were so glad to find this well-equipped alternative location for our travels, and would thoroughly recommend anyone traveling the Marine Drive route, or needing accommodations just outside of town, to give the affordable loft a try.

The event was launched by funnyman John Cleese in the 1970s, bringing together a star-studded mix of comedians and musicians to raise money for charity and highlight the importance of freedom of speech.
After a four-year absence, the traditionally British-held ball took place in America for the first time on Sunday night (04Mar12) with a show at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
British and American comedians took it in turns to grace the stage, while Stiller and Walliams teamed up for a joint performance to discuss language discrepancies between the U.K. and U.S., with both agreeing the word ""Bush"" was ""embarrassing"" for both nations, but ""Piers Morgan"" translates as ""annoying"" on both sides of the Atlantic.
The evening also included musical performances from Mumford & Sons and Coldplay, whose frontman Chris Martin told the crowd as he took to the stage, ""We take pleasure in being the least funny act here.""
The event raised money for Amnesty International.

Nice quiet property
Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is quite lovely - very spacious and open. I had seen the property before, so I knew what it looked like and was not disappointed in its appearance. It was very clean and there was more than enough towels and blankets to accommodate our group. Two disappointing things for me were we are a family that likes to cook and the kitchen was pretty bare bones for kitchenware and all the pans were old and stuck terribly. Seems like a little bit of investment in the kitchen would be warranted. The only other complaint was the bed situation. I think the largest bed was a full size and two rooms only had twin beds, so although there were a lot of couches, the house was lacking in beds that were of a decent size. I guess the only other comment would be that for such a lovely home, you might be expecting a hot tub or a pool table, etc. and there were none of those amenities, although it had a wonderful swing in the living room that was utilized by all!
Spring Break In Tahoe!
I had my wedding in Tahoe and wanted a place that would accommodate my wedding group for the week. The Manzanita Lodge was the most reasonably priced that would hold such a large group. The rooms were cozy and the meeting lodge was a great place for everyone to get together and hangout. The staff was very nice and helpful whenever we had questions or needed anything.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — This is the time of year when Greentown comes alive. A small, quiet town — except during Friday night football games and whenever the high school marching band is practicing — this eastern Howard County community will reverberate with the sounds of the midway, motorcycle races, a demolition derby and nightly musical acts, including a Beatles tribute band.
The Howard County 4-H Fair starts up this weekend, and we encourage you to celebrate summer at one of the state's largest county fairs.
Used to be, 4-H fairs were about pigs, cows and sows. Today, they're more about 4-H projects, gardening and arts and crafts.
On Monday, all 4-H exhibits will open at 2 p.m. Midway rides open at 3 p.m., and the Miss Howard County Fair Queen Pageant begins at 8 p.m. at the south grandstand.
Tuesday is Kokomo Tribune Day (you won't want to miss that!). Poultry, beef and dairy judging begins at 9 a.m. Sheep judging gets underway at 5 p.m.
New this year is the Texaco Country Showdown. Sponsored by WWKI-FM, it's a talent contest for country vocalists, instrumentalists or bands of seven members or fewer. The contest starts Monday and will continue the rest of the week at 7:30 p.m in the Pioneer Village.
The contest winner advances to the state competition. On the line at that event is a $1,000 prize and the opportunity to advance to one of five regional finals — the last step to the televised national contest.
There will be a lot to do, see and eat, but take time to support Howard County's 4-H members, our 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-year-olds in Mini 4-H, the 100 project leaders and the county's two dozen 4-H clubs.
Howard County's first 4-H exhibit was held in Kokomo in 1931. The fair moved to Greentown in 1946 and has been there ever since.
We know money is tight, and many here won't be leaving town for a summer vacation. But consider treating your family to a day at the fair.
4-H'ers always appreciate the interest and support of the Howard County community.

(Toledo News Now) - If it seems like just about everything is costing more these days, you're right. Even one of the mainstays of lunchtime is starting to disappear: the 99 cent value menu. You may notice some changes next time you pull up to the drive thru.
Remember when you could pull up to any fast food restaurant and order any number of items, from burgers and fries, to drinks, for just 99 cents? For 2013, the dollar deals at lunchtime are getting slimmer. Wendy's Makes Big Changes Drive up to many Wendy's now and the 99 cent menu is gone. In its place is a "Right Price, Right Size" menu, featuring a Junior Cheeseburger or Value Fries still at 99 cents. But some former dollar items are now higher: the Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe (with lettuce and tomato) is now $1.19, and the small Chili continues to rise in price, now up to $1.49 in many areas. Frequent Wendy's customer Jason Wilson has noticed.
"It's not really worth it anymore," said Wilson. Dollar Menus Shrinking USA Today agrees, saying the shrinking dollar item is the newest trend at fast food restaurants. It says Wendy's now gives four chicken nuggets for 99 cents, instead of five. "Everything's gotten more expensive and smaller. It's a fact of life," said Laurie Bogart. According to USA Today, McDonald's is doing much of the same thing. Last year it replaced its Dollar Menu with a new "Extra Value Menu" with higher prices. Customers Unhappy With Changes The report, however, says customers were so angered by the change, McDonald's decided to keep its somewhat smaller Dollar Menu for now, in which you can still get a McDouble or McChicken for $1. In the meantime, a report on MSN says restaurants need to keep some items at $1, just to bring in customers. But it says eateries don't make money on dollar items, so their goal now is to get you to buy something more expensive instead. Bottom Line
Fast food prices aren't getting any lower, especially as beef and chicken prices continue to rise as a result of last year's drought. Watch for changes so you don't waste your money.

Opening statements began Tuesday in the trial of Mahamud Said Omar, the Minnesota man accused of sending money and recruiting young fighters to a terrorist group in Somalia.
Omar is facing five terror-related federal charges. Prosecutors say he recruited young Somali men from Minneapolis to leave the country and fight for al-Shabaab, a group linked to al-Qaida.
Omar is also accused of providing travel money, airline tickets and weapons.
In their opening statements, prosecutors said Omar, a janitor at a local mosque, was heavily involved in the recruitment of 18 Somali men, some as young as 17. Prosecutors say one of those men -- Shirwah Ahmed -- later became the first American suicide bomber.
Prosecutors laid out the connections on Tuesday, citing travel itineraries, secret meetings at Abubakar as-Saddique mosque in south Minneapolis and rendezvous at cafes and a Somali mall along Lake Street.
Somali community leader Abdi Bihi was Omar's neighbor, and he said he remembers recruits going door to door to raise money for assault weapons under the guise of charity.
"It's difficult in our culture to have a neighbor like that," he said. "It's scary."
Bihi's nephew, Burhan Hassan, was one of the young men who was recruited when he was only 17. Now, his uncle believes he was killed by al-Shabaab when he refused to fight inside a country he barely remembered.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Kovats said three men who traveled to Somalia will testify about their experiences with Omar and al-Shabaab during the trial, which is expected to last between four and six weeks.
However, the question hanging over the courtroom seems to be whether the janitor who made $3 an hour was the puppet master or if someone else was pulling the strings.
Defense attorney Andrew Birrell contends that Omar is poorly educated and is not capable of pulling off the operation he is accused of. In his opening statement, he also highlighted that the government isn't claiming that Omar ever spoke or acted against the United States.
Since 2008, Minneapolis has been the hub of a federal investigation into the recruiting and financing of Americans to fight with al-Shabaab in Somalia. Since 2007, at least 21 young men have left Minnesota to fight in Somalia, including four who have been confirmed dead by family members or authorities.

A former Kokomo resident who heads a volunteer organization aimed at helping disaster victims pleaded guilty Friday in Jackson Circuit Court in southern Indiana to a misdemeanor drug charge and was sentenced to time served.
The case is one of three Gerald Scott Flint faced in the wake of a March 2012 tornado outbreak. The outbreak, which was the region's deadliest in nearly 40 years, carved a path of destruction through Indiana and Kentucky killing at least 24 people and leveling several small towns.
Flint, a veteran of Desert Storm and head of Volunteer Medics Worldwide Organization, had been in Clark and Scott counties soliciting donations of disaster supplies such as food, water and other necessities for his organization when state police received a complaint about his actions.
State police originally charged Flint with two Class D felony counts of unlawful possession or use of a legend drug in Jackson County accusing Flint of providing and being in possession of antibiotic legend drugs.
"It probably wasn't the best way of handling them, but there was no malicious intent and they were not for sale," Flint said of the medication after his arrest. "They were meant for the pharmacy at the free clinic ... I felt giving it to a nurse I was doing the right thing."
As part of a plea agreement, Flint pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of Class A misdemeanor. He was sentenced to serve two weeks in jail. He had credit for seven days already served. With credit for good behavior, Flint was released with time served, a Jackson Circuit Court reporter said.
The second charge was dismissed by the state.
Flint also is accused of theft for allegedly stealing supplies and impersonating a public servant in Scott and Clark counties. During the collection of the donations, state police claim Flint stole supplies and led people to believe he was working in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security.
The charges in Scott and Clark counties are pending. Flint has a June 4 trial in Scott County and July 11 trial in Clark County.
A message left on Flint's cell phone was not immediately returned.
In a telephone interview with the Kokomo Tribune after his arrest last year, Flint said he was just trying to help people.
"We didn't take anybody's stuff," said Flint, who now resides in Brazil, Ind.
Flint said he went to the area to give aid and direction in the aftermath of the tornadoes.
He admitted to picking up supplies and said he drove them to a collection center outside of the disaster area.
"We brought in two or three loads of cough drops, underwear," he said, "things that people might need."
From there, Flint claims they sorted out the supplies and were going to drive them to the needed areas.
But, according to state police, that never happened.

Forgoing the movie involving alien fighting cowboys, I fed my romantic comedy fix instead and saw Crazy, Stupid, Love. And it was crazy, stupid, funny - in a good way.
The romantic element of this comedy is also fresh in a way that the relationships of the characters seem realistic because the characters are genuine in their expectations pertaining to love. At the heart of this film is the idea that we all have a soulmate – our one true love. And the film is successful in presenting that idea without the cheesiness that most of its predecessors have.
Cal ( Steve Carell), out with his wife Emily ( Julianne Moore), asks what she wants for dessert. She says a divorce. As you may have guessed this is not on the menu, and as they're driving home Emily admits to an affair with coworker, David Lindhagen ( Kevin Bacon). Cal and Emily's relationship went blah at some point. But their kids and Jessica ( Analeigh Tipton), the babysitter, are still surprised as a shell-shocked Cal blurts the unfortunate news of their split.
Wallowing in becoming cuckolded, Cal sits at the bar of a sleek nightspot, slurping down cran and vodkas. As he begins to frequent this place during his nights, crowding the bar with a sob story no one's willing to listen to, he spots a well-dressed pickup artist.
The ladies' man, Jacob ( Ryan Gosling), invites him over for a drink – bait that Cal takes. Jacob offers to change Cal, in the form of a makeover and providing tips for picking up gorgeous women. A desperate Cal agrees to the deal. They do all the necessaries to try and make Steve Carell look as cool as Ryan Gosling. New haircut, shirts, shoes, are all part of the agenda.
The new Cal steps out and has his way with the women at this bar that he and Jacob are now regulars at. But the encounter with recovering alcoholic and teacher Kate ( Marisa Tomei) is highlighted. Sexually apt, she pounces on him, attracted to his nervous honesty. Word travels fast concerning Cal's new womanizing ways and a few hearers of these whispers aren't big fans of the latest version of Cal, namely his teenage son, Robbie ( Jonah Bobo).
Beyond his years in love advice, Robbie is experiencing love himself, and wants his dad to fight harder to save the marriage. Jacob is unexpectedly falling in love with Hannah ( Emma Stone) – a girl he met at the same bar where the women fall in his lap, then eventually in his sheets.
At a point in the movie these people and stories intertwine in a clever way, piecing together what they've withheld. This film is done uniquely and it's hilarious, chockfull of one-liners to take home. Perhaps my only concern is Emily's character didn't have much of an overhaul in this process. However, pumping crazy new blood into the romantic comedy genre, this film earns 3 out 4 stars.
You can watch Crazy, Stupid, Love at Muvico in Rosemont in Premier or General seating.

New College is currently looking for alums and businesses who are interested in providing internships to students.
For New College students, shadowing, mentoring and internship experiences off-campus help bridge the gap between academic classroom preparation and the transition to work, careers or graduate school. These opportunities allow students to combine practical work experiences with a structured learning component. Students who intern generally cultivate better employment prospects than those who do not hold internships. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) reports that interns receive more job offers and find first jobs sooner than job seekers who have not held internships.
For internship providers, shadowing, mentorship and internship experiences are an opportunity to participate in the educational process while receiving valuable work contributions from students. Organizations benefit from interactions with bright students who possess a wide range of skills and capabilities. If hired, a former intern will rarely require the same level of training and orientation as a non-intern hire. When staff shares expertise as professional mentors they will usually be rewarded with unique insights, personal satisfaction and gratification as they work with students. Students bring fresh energy, abilities and enthusiasm to the workplace.
If you know of or would like to provide a potential internship opportunity for students please email us at email@example.com or give us a call at 941-487-4900. We will be including any responses we receive in career services' internship showcase event for students on Tuesday, October 23rd.
In your email please inform us of the nature of the internship, its location, the duration, required hours, whether it is paid or unpaid, the name of the contact person, and any other additional information. The more detailed the better!
We look forward to hearing from you.

How can we help companies hire more people over the age of 50?
Age discrimination, while illegal, is very much practiced in the United States. Companies appear to believe that younger workers are more productive because they use technology more effectively. I believe that a person's age does not determine whether or not they are technologically literate. Among all age groups, there are early adopters of technology and there are people who are averse to technology. We need to help corporations harness the experience of older workers while still encouraging all workers to become more technologically literate.

Nov 20 2012: John: I'm not sure that it is an "either/or" proposition. If companies only hire people under the age of 40, they are missing a key component to success: diversity. Also, I don't believe that it is "a fact that older employees are less likely to be proficient at IT than younger employees." Where do you get your information for that assertion? In my experience, age has no effect whatsoever as to whether people are tech-savvy or not. For instance, my college-age daughter constantly asks me for help with her computer, software, network configurations, etc. In the workplace, I have met many young people who do not know how to use technology effectively, especially advanced software like Visio, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc.
Nov 20 2012: "John: I'm not sure that it is an "either/or" proposition."
Why not? Two people can't have the same job and with the way automation is charging ahead no amount of economic growth is going to create lots and lots of jobs (in fact it will probably lead to more automation), unless we basically cut a few hours off the workweek which would be wonderful for everybody, except that the whole world has to join in to prevent a massive wave of outsourcing.
"In my experience, age has no effect whatsoever as to whether people are tech-savvy or not. For instance,"
And I had a grandpa who smoked his whole life and lived to be 95 (well, not really, but I hope you see where I'm going with this).
"If companies only hire people under the age of 40, they are missing a key component to success: diversity."
Which is why they still hire people over 40, they just hire less of them than they do people under 40.

Hi all,
I am using a Nokia 6800 Phone. I have some applications installed in my phone alogwith the Nokia's own Converter II and Portfolio II. I have a problem with the screens in all applications.
When, in any displayable object, if I try to have more than 2 commands, it automatically maps the remaining commands to a menu. Now, i have an 'Options' command mapped to one of the soft keys which is supposed to bring up the list of commands immediately. But when i select options, i see the 'Select Application' (the first screen i see when getting into the Applications category from teh main menu of the phone) for a while. It then goes off the scree and the intended list of commands appear. The flicker does not seem to provide a nice user experience.
I see this problem in Nokia's own Portfolio II. When i try to add a name to the portfolio, in the 'Name' textbox, when i select options, i see the 'select Application' and then the intended list of commands.
Can anyone tell me the reason for this. Please help me as soon as possible
Thanks in advance

A meat cutter is also known as a butcher. A meat cutter prepares large pieces of meat and slices and cuts them into smaller and more manageable pieces for use by consumers. They may work for a large meat processing company, a butcher shop, or a grocery store.
A meat butcher has several different duties, depending on the capacity that they work in. A butcher who works in a large meat processing plant is responsible for handling large animal carcasses. They carry out primal cuts, which means that they take the whole animal carcass and cut it down into manageable pieces to be sent to butcher shops and grocery stores. This job involves heavy lifting and is a rather messy job. Those who are squeamish will probably not enjoy the aspects of this job.
A meat butcher may also work in a butcher shop. The butcher shop handles all portions of meat and cuts them down to size using different cutting tools. They cut the portions down to steaks, chops, and other cuts of meat. They are often responsible for the grinding of meats for hamburger meat and sausages. Not only do they have cutting duties, but they also are responsible for serving customers and cutting meats according to their specifications. They weigh the meats and sell them to the customers as well.
A meat butcher also works in a grocery store environment. The meat butcher at a grocery store works with smaller portions of meat. They cut the meat portions into steaks, chops, and other cuts just like the butcher. At a grocery store, they use all types of equipment for cutting meat. They may use knives, cutting machines, slicers, and grinders. The cutter's role in the grocery store is much more customer service oriented. They are responsible for speaking with customers, taking care of their meat requests, weighing and pricing their purchases, and providing prompt and friendly customer service.
Would you make a good meat cutter? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Most meat cutter jobs do not require any formal education. Apprenticeships and on-the-job training are very common in this career choice. When one is starting out as a meat cutter, one does more of the menial tasks such as meat grinding and cleanup. If they are allowed to work under a master butcher, they can learn the skills needed to succeed in this career. There are some butcher training programs where cutters can further their skills. Many people begin this type of career by working in the large meat processing plants first. Here, they learn the primal cuts and basics of butchering meat. As they become more skilled in meat cutting, they can advance to butcher shops and grocery stores.
It is important that they have the physical strength that it takes to lift large pieces of meat that are often very heavy. Without good physical strength, they will not be able to lift the carcasses and will not be able to handle the physical exertion that is required for the job.
A meat cutter also needs good coordination skills and some math skills that will be needed when they are weighing meat for production and customer service.
Once they begin training under a master butcher, it normally takes about two years before they become skilled enough to be considered a master cutter. Until this time, they will continue to apprentice under another butcher and learn all of the different types of cuts of meat. It is important that they learn all of the parts of the animal and the cuts so that the meat products are not wasted.
The workplace of a meat butcher is often in a cold environment. They have to work in cold conditions so that the meat is kept fresh throughout the butchering process. The environment is also a very humid environment that often has smells that some people find hard to handle. Those who have a weak stomach may find this type of work environment difficult to handle.
Cutters will either work in a factory setting, a butcher shop, or a grocery store environment. They will work around dangerous cutting machinery and tools that can cause injury and even death if they are careless. They will work with all types of cutting tools, including slicers, grinders, knives, cleavers, and cutting machines. They will also work with meat hooks and other hanging devices.
