Mariinsky Theatre
The most celebrated and spectacular venue for ballet and opera in St Petersburg, the Mariinsky Theatre is an attraction in its own right, whether or not you manage to get tickets to see a performance.
The most celebrated and spectacular venue for ballet and opera in St Petersburg, the Mariinsky Theatre is an attraction in its own right, whether or not you manage to get tickets to see a performance.
In April 2007, Mariinsky director Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra opened the new Mariinsky Concert Hall – just in time for the annual Stars of White Nights Festival. The new building is a magnificent multifaceted creation.
Now buried in Tikhvin Cemetery , Vera Fedorovna Kommisarzhevskaya was a great St Petersburg actress who gained her reputation as leading lady in Vsevolod Meyerhold performances.
Under the artistic direction of world-famous conductor Yury Temirkanov, the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra represents the finest in orchestral music. The Bolshoy Zal on pl Iskusstv is the venue for a full program of symphonic performances, while the nearby Maly Zal hosts smaller ensembles.
St Petersburg's most popular spot for teenagers, Metro is a giant venue with three dance floors, featuring Russian and European music downstairs, techno and house on the 2nd floor and the poppiest pop on the top floor. At 2am four nights a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday), male and female dancers clad in leather (at least at the beginning) put on an erotic show.
Feel like lounging on the beach with a fruity cocktail, catching some rays or playing some badminton? Then visit Dunes, St Petersburg's first beach bar, complete with sand, hammocks and beach chairs. That this outdoor café is located in a crumbling courtyard (with no sea in sight) only adds to the charm.
This swank spot is part restaurant, part lounge and 100% upper-class. Set within the western bastion of the Peter & Paul Fortress, this see-and-be-seen spot boasts an atmospheric location and awesome vista. Its white tent-roof interior is gorgeous, with plush pillows and drapes adorning the otherwise sparse space.
You know that a place called 'experimental' is going to be out there, especially as it is part of the alternative art complex at Pushkinskaya 10 . Music ranges from jazz to rock to undefinable, and there are also film screenings, readings and other expressions of creativity.
If you are up for a night of bar-hopping, you can't do better than Dumskaya ul , where four of St Petersburg's hottest spots for drinking and music are crammed into a crumbling, classical façade.
Sinners is St Petersburg's gay mainstay – sleazy but fun – featuring male striptease, drag shows and an intriguing on-stage shower show. The décor is leather and chains, evoking a dark dungeon. Three floors include a mirrored dance floor, a balcony overlooking it and a chill-out lounge. The club functions on a card system – you pay for everything when you leave.
If you are up for a night of bar-hopping, you can't do better than Dumskaya ul. Fidel is crammed into a crumbling, classical façade, along with three other hot spots for drinking and music. This funky place is a sort of musical and alcoholic tribute to the ruler who 'outlived six presidents of America and six leaders of the Soviet Union and Russia'.
A vital conduit into the teenage rockabilly underbelly of St Petersburg, Money Honey is for kids gone bad as well as those who have invested too much money in Brylcreem and leather jackets. It's a fun and unpredictable place to hang out, famous for brawls and carousing, suitably located in the rather Dostoevskian Apraksin Dvor shopping arcade.

Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is a pretty good – but not great – companion to his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
Much like the director's previous three adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's books, "The Hobbit" has an epic-length running time. But while the previous films were often filled with long close-up shots of its blue-eyed cast and sweeping panoramas of New Zealand's terrain, Jackson's latest is primarily one chase scene and special effects-laden battle after the next once its story kicks into gear.
I'm not panning the film, but those who loved the original trilogy should approach "The Hobbit" with lower expectations.
For those unfamiliar with the source material, this story follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he undertakes an adventure with the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a group of wily dwarves who plan to revenge the death of their former king at the hands of a vicious orc and retake their kingdom from a massive dragon.
No further plot description is necessary as much of this first of three films merely follows Bilbo and his companions during a series of run-ins with orcs, elves, goblins and, in the film's brightest moment, Golem (Andy Serkis), who becomes enraged after losing his "precious."
Some of the special effects are quite stunning, despite their overabundance, while others are simply filler. And Jackson made a curious choice to shoot in 48 frames per second, which, once combined with 3-D, gives the picture a visual style more in common with, say, the "Paranormal Activity" films than the original "Rings" trilogy.
"The Hobbit" is enjoyable enough, but those who believe the original three pictures were the "Star Wars" of their generation might find Jackson's latest to be more comparable in quality to George Lucas's second trilogy.
Speaking of a downgrade in quality, it's difficult to discern how Stephen Frears came to direct "Lay the Favorite," a lightweight sports gambling drama that barely registers.
Frears's resume includes "The Grifters," "High Fidelity" and "The Queen," so what drew him to his latest picture is beyond my comprehension.
In the film, Rebecca Hall plays a former stripper who lands in Las Vegas and gets involved in two separate gambling operations run by Bruce Willis and Vince Vaughn.
Also thrown into the mix are Willis's jealous wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and a love interest for Hall's character (Joshua Jackson).
Frears has proven his ability at directing a comedic script before, so it's odd to find "Lay the Favorite" to be so tone deaf. The movie also slips back and forth between humor and dramatic material, but not very gracefully.
And the performances of varied tone from the film's talented cast often give the impression of a series of characters who wandered off their own movies and all ended up on the same set.
Frears is a talented filmmaker, so I hope he finds better material for his next outing.
"The Hobbit" is playing at UA Court Street 12 , while "Lay the Favorite" is screening at Forest Hills's Cinemart Cinemas.

Dear Perlmeister
Linux versus Vista
I agree with some of the comments in the letter from Patrick Op de Beeck (Linux Magazine, issue #82 / September 2007, p20), but I must take up his point regarding problems with upgrading from XP to Vista.

An MCB faculty perspective on women in science
Understanding why the faculty gender imbalance persists and how it impacts the experiences of women at MCB affiliated institutions.
It is no secret that there are three times more men than women on the MCB faculty list – a glance at the department website will bear this out. As a female student who would like to stay in academia, I found this fact troubling, and wanted to explore both reasons why this is so, and also how this impacts the work experience of female faculty. In order to address these two questions, I used a two-fold approach. First, and primarily to address the "why", I looked at what the literature tells us, focusing on a recent meta-analysis in PNAS by Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams. Second, to address how women are affected, I surveyed female faculty in the UW MCB program this summer in order to explore how women on the faculty of our own program experience being female professors. The survey was sent to all female faculty listed on the MCB website, and the response rate was about 20%. In this article, both the literature and the findings of this qualitative survey are discussed, placing the responses of our faculty in the framework of the literature.
It seems to be fairly widely accepted now that the anticipated "trickle up" from the graduate level – where most bioscience PhD programs now enroll an equal number of men and women – has not taken place as expected. In fact, this phenomenon is known as female "attrition" – a rather grim-sounding term, found not only at UW, but also at academic institutions around the world. Says one MCB faculty respondent of my survey, "Where do all these female doctorates end up after getting their degrees? Apparently not in academia. Maybe they are thinking they cannot have a family and still have a scientific career." Female attrition raises a number of worrying questions. How is scientific progress affected if a large proportion of (often publicly-funded) trainees leave the field? How does the gender imbalance affect not just the women that do stick it out, but faculty as a whole?
The PNAS study by Ceci and Williams presents a detailed, empirical analysis of the factors responsible for fewer numbers of female science faculty at most universities, with a focus on math-heavy fields, but generally applicable to all science fields. While cases of overt sexism are documented, they are not systemic, and are not unique to the sciences. Indeed, one respondent in my survey, a more recent faculty member, writes that, "Most of the women my age don't feel that we have experienced any overt sexism during our career, but I think the generation of female scientists ahead of us have." Not all agree, though, and instances of subtle sexism abound – several of my respondents described recent incidences of overt gender bias. One respondent was addressed by a reviewer as "Ms", not "Prof" or "Dr". Another was advised to list a male collaborator as the main P.I. on a co-grant application. A third was introduced by her first name whereas her male colleagues were introduced by their titles. Empirical analyses find that these types of discrimination are likely not restricted to the sciences. As one faculty member says, there is still discrimination, "but SO MUCH better than 30 years ago." Thus, while unpleasant sexism will likely be with us for some time, it cannot be at the root of the cause for the disparity in the gender ratio in the sciences.
The Ceci and Williams paper shows that given equal resources, males and females perform similarly and on the whole are treated similarly. In this context, resources include money, space, support, and time to do research, among other factors. Importantly however, women are less likely to have the necessary resources to consistently perform at this level. Even more striking is that this lack of resources is in large part because of the personal, ostensibly "free" choices of women: women are more likely to choose teaching-heavy or part-time careers. They suggest that these choices are often influenced by a number of factors, including child-rearing, caregiving of parents, or limiting location because of family or to follow a spouse. The timing of the academic career trajectory also plays a major role as women are required to be at their most productive when many are in the early phases of child rearing. The forces at work have been described as an "..invisible web [with] … multiple strands — some social, some biological, some institutional" (Nature 2011).
Another, more subtle form of discrimination at play is the institutional part of the invisible web: the heavier administrative and service burden that many women carry. Writes on MCB faculty respondent, "I see that my female colleagues shoulder a disproportionate burden of "extra" activities, particularly in the areas of outreach, teaching and mentoring. By contrast, I see many of my male colleagues focusing solely on activities that will move the work in their own labs or collaborators labs forward." In fact, this sentiment was echoed by numerous responses to my MCB female faculty survey. A study in Academe Online describes this as "the ivory ceiling of service work", which affects both male and female associate professors, but disproportionately affects women (Misra et. al. 2011).
Service within the university, such as teaching, mentoring, and serving on committees, is an enormous time drain, and is not usually rewarded by the academic establishment, but is essential for the success of the university. In a large study of STEM faculty at the University of Massachusetts in 2008-9, they find huge gender disparities in time spent doing service. At the associate professor level, while working similar hours as their female colleagues in the same positions, men spend about 7.5 hours a week more on their research, which translates into 200 hours more a year. Interestingly, they find that the women do this work because they feel obligated and guilty not to (in other words, not because of a natural "female affinity" for service), and are constantly frustrated by losing time that could be spent on research. These tasks, that women disproportionately execute, include service on departmental committees, where there is often a need for "female representation". Several MCB faculty members mention the pros and cons of this heavier service load– it provides the opportunity to be involved, but this comes at the cost of time that could be devoted to research.
Multiple respondents in my survey mention another subtle form of discrimination that is widely seen in society at large: the range of behavior tolerated in males is much greater than in females. They write that strong female personalities tend to become marginalized within departments. Several faculty members report that they noticed their male counterparts pursuing assistance, resources, and even voicing their opinions in a more aggressive manner. Several women also write that "normal female behavior" is different from that of males, sometimes to their benefit, more often to their detriment. Women tend to be more collaborative, and less aggressive, even when promoting their own successes. For example, one respondent explained, "I know that in describing my work, my husband, also a scientist, will expound about the amazing results I have whereas I will say "I have an interesting result, let's see if it pans out"".
Finally, there is the unavoidable fact that raising children and working towards tenure are two tasks that are difficult to execute simultaneously. One somewhat shocking finding from the Ceci and Williams study is that tenured female faculty on average have fewer children than their male counterparts; female faculty are also more likely to report having had fewer children than they wanted to because of their careers. Other studies have found that while women, on average, spend less hours at work, they spend far more overall hours "working" if housework and childcare is included (Schiebinger and Gilmartin 2010). While this is undoubtedly true for men as well as for women, the societal view of a woman's role in family and "other arenas" means that as a whole, women are often expected to take on more caregiving, housework, and other home tasks.
These societal pressures were mentioned by many of the MCB faculty respondents. An interesting observation that one MCB faculty member made was that, "In countries with more social and family support to women, women blossomed earlier with regard to faculty positions compared to [the United States]." Another of the MCB survey respondents writes that it is important to "…recognize that success in a scientific career will require compromise in terms of family, outside interests, career trajectory. If one expects to do it all simultaneously, you will likely be disappointed. However with some creativity and drive, one can be successful in multiple arenas." Other respondents echoed this sentiment. One faculty member recommends outsourcing as much housework as possible, via a nanny or housecleaning service. Several emphasize the importance of a supportive partner: "Find a life partner that truly believes in your intelligence and will go the distance to make sure both of you can succeed at whatever career paths you are on."
It is not all doom and gloom though. As one MCB respondent points out, "Despite how difficult funding is, it is amazing to have a job where you can pursue whatever interests you, so long as you can convince funding agencies that it is exciting." Another writes, "If more and more of us do science in a "female way" the rules will naturally become expanded to include our approach to science." Many of the faculty in this survey urge students to find mentors and role models around them (both men and women), and work on building a support network. There are enough women in science for all-female networks to exist as well, and to find successful women with families to use as examples.
Ceci and Williams argue that instead of continuing to address historic biases that have already been corrected by successful efforts, we should instead be focusing on policy- and societal changes that could influence the choices made by women. One respondent echoes this take-home message, saying that policy changes would play a major role in undoing the imbalance. Unfortunately, we are all scientists, trying to survive, and often do not take the time to think about, or act on, these issues. Perhaps our generation can begin to move academia beyond the current status quo, such that an academic career for women does not require significantly more personal sacrifice than for men. In the words of one of my respondents, Let's "work to make it easier for the next person who doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold of a biology professor."
I would like to offer special thanks to the faculty that responded to our survey. Their honesty and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

Russian Troops & FEMA
- Jordee

- Hits: 65
Situations, which took place in Washington on 25 June 2013.
I'm sure that there are probably still people out there who don't believe that Russia will be permitted to operate upon American soil despite all the proof given. We need to lay those doubts to rest now with the publishing of this story from EMERCOM of Russia. EMERCOM is the The Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies & Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters. I have no problem with Russia nor the Russian people, in fact, I love ALL people, as long as they aren't murdering innocent children with drones from above or chopping off innocent peoples heads for voicing their opinions. Cooperation is great, as long as it's not putting people into FEMA camps and helping institute martial law in America. Is this really about disaster cooperation or something more?
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and the USA Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are going to exchange experts during joint rescue operations in major disasters. This is provided by a protocol of the fourth meeting of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations and seventeenth meeting of Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on Emergency Situations, which took place in Washington on 25 June.
In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations, training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of security at mass events.
At the end of the meeting the parties expressed their satisfaction with the level of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the United States in the area of emergency prevention and response and agreed to develop it in order to respond efficiently to all kinds of disasters.

The Minnesota Lynx travel to Phoenix today and will attempt to finish off a sweep of the Mercury and advance to the WNBA Finals against the winner of the series between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream.
The Lynx are coming off a 23 point demolition of the Mercury in game one of the series, a game in which they outscored Phoenix 20-2 in fast break points, forced 19 turnovers, and dominated on the defensive end, while their three perimeter stars, Lindsay Whalen, Maya Moore, and Seimone Augustus combined for 58 points.
The Lynx have defeated the Mercury in all six meetings this year, and haven't lost to them since 2011. Overall they have won the last 13 meetings with Phoenix, and look to make it 14 today.
The Mercury will try to overcome that dominance and get over the mental hurdle Minnesota represents. They will look to feed off the energy of their home crowd to get off to a fast start and stay in the game. They will need better performances from Diana Taurasi (15 points on 4/14 shooting), and Candice Dupree (4 points, 1/6) if they are to have any hope of extending the series and forcing a game three back at Target Center.
The game tips at 4pm Central, and will be aired on ESPN2.
NOTES: The Atlanta Dream visit the Indiana Fever in game two of the Eastern Conference Finals at 2:00pm Central, also on ESPN2. The Dream won game one at home, and look to get back to the WNBA Finals for the third time in four years.
The Lynx have really clamped down defensively in the post-season, allowing the fewest points, 2nd lowest FG%, forcing the most turnovers, and blocking the most shots of any playoff team.
Assistant Lynx coach and Wolves broadcaster Jim Petersen won a well deserved Midwest Emmy for his work as an analyst for the Wolves on Fox Sports North. Afterwords, he gave a shoutout to Canis Hoopus:
Thanks to my @canishoopus family. You inspire me to do better...and helped me win a Midwest Emmy. Thanks you guys and gals.
Thanks to my @canishoopus family. You inspire me to do better...and helped me win a Midwest Emmy. Thanks you guys and gals.— Jim Petersen (@JimPeteHoops) September 29, 2013
So that's pretty cool. Jim is the best, and we look forward to seeing him win this title with the Lynx and then getting behind the mic for the Wolves season.

So, I'm gonna run tren e aromd 500mg/wk and test e at about the same. Yet I've heard that if u add in gh, it dramatically increases the gains. I already have igf1

K. Will do! Thx for the advices. Just pinned 12 iu of each.
Honestly I don't have a db acct. I doubt the man likes ssausage but he'll I'm wrong all the time
Where do you get your gh from brother? I'm looking for another source...hairy fella on fb?
I haven't ever used gh before. It's expensive, from what I've heard. So I just wanna make sure it's worth it first. Frankly I haven't heard from many folks who've used it. I hear its great along side a gear cycle, but not too anabolic as a stand alone.
Tren and Igf definitely have synergy although I hate that word. GH basically stimulates IGF production from what I've read plus it's damn expensive and hard to find genuine product. The added benefits of GH are lengthy and somewhat exaggerated. Who knows what is true? I honestly would not use both together. It would be a waste. HGH stimulates IGF therefore why use IGF on top of it???? You might run into problems with excess growth in unwanted areas with over saturation. I would use HGH with the tren for the added benefits of recovery, sleep, mood, anti anxiety etc...... if they are true. Good luck.
If hgh stimulates igf, wouldn't if make more sense to just use the igf with the tren/test cycle?
Legit recombinant igf1 lr3 is awesome!! Great stack with test/ghrp
If you don't get bad sides with tren then by all means just use the igf. I think HGH has more to offer with tren in general. If your girlfriend says you are not a monster on tren.... use igf. If you don't beat your dog on tren use igf. If you sleep fine on tren use igf. GH might ease some sides that's all I'm saying.I would use HGH with the tren for the added benefits of recovery, sleep, mood, anti anxiety etc...... if they are true.

No. 17 Justine Henin beat No. 12 Nadia Petrova 6-1, 6-4 in what was Henin's first match on Centre Court since 2007.
Petrova was up a break at 3-1 in the second set, but Henin quickly broke back to level the set and rattle the mentally shaky Petrova.
It was a classic Henin performance: wicked backhands, deft drop shots, incredible angles, and excessive celebration after her opponent's unforced errors.
Henin improves her career head-to-head with Petrova to 14-2 with the win, one of the many lopsided head-to-head advantages Henin boasts over a top player.
Next up for Henin is countrywoman and fellow former No. 1 Kim Clijsters, which will be an absolute blockbuster fourth-round match on Monday.

Clarets superfan goes 40 years without missing a game (From This Is Lancashire)
Clarets superfan goes 40 years without missing a game
4:00pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News By Tyrone Marshall, Reporter
CLARETS superfan Dave Burnley will be celebrating 40 years without missing a game, at Blackpool on Good Friday.
Dave will wear his special denim suit, which he calls his 'thirty three piece suit' to commemorate the milestone.
The suit makes an appearance every year at the first away game, after April 10, as he last missed a competitive match against Newcastle on April 10, 1974.
That means it will be on show at the seaside as Burnley look to edge clos-er to promotion back to the Premier League.
Dave, who lives in Madeley, near Stoke, and changed his name by deed poll in 1976, said: "I started going to games in 1968 and got a denim jacket for my 15th birthday, which I still wear now.
"I always used to wear a denim shirt and jeans to the games in that era, which is why I wear the suit at the away game after April 10 every year.
"The game I missed was away at Newcastle in 1974.
"There was a miners strike going on and week-day matches were being played in the afternoon to save electricity.
"The Newcastle game had been postponed six times already, and I had gone to two of those.
"I was ringing the club on my dinner hour every day to ask if it had been rearranged.
"But they never told me, and it went ahead without me realising.
"I'm very proud of going 40 years without missing a game.
"But I would love to go back and be at that game as well."
Friday's game also brings back good memories for Dave, who celebrated the second division title in 1973 in the town.
After the Clarets drew at Preston, Dave headed to the coast and, after a long night of partying, ended up sleeping in a lifeboat moored on the famous promenade.

Rocky Horror Picture ShowPosted Wednesday, December 30, 2009, at 12:20 PM
Divine Productions has secured the rights to play the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Historic Fox Theatre and we will be doing this at 12:30am on January 1st so as soon as the fireworks end and the ball has dropped, come on over to the Fox and get ready to watch a classic flick. Due to the cost of securing the rights to such a film, there is a admission charge with a button at $2 and if you don't have a button, you can still come but it costs $5 instead.
I am super excited about Rocky Horror at the Fox. I had a chance to go into the Fox and fire up a projector and test everything out and it is AWESOME! We've got all the audio hooked up and everything ready to have a great show and we can seat well over 600 people so there's plenty of room to come down and experience what other cities around the USA do on a weekly basis. Rocky Horror is still shown at theatres all over on a weekly basis at Midnight. A lot of fans dress up as thier favorite characters from the movie and sometimes even reenact the scenes from the flick in the aisles. There are a set of 'rules' that one follows when watching the movie at these special screenings like throwing a piece of popcorn in the air when the Bride and Groom walk out of the church in the beginning of the movie. There are also many moments when the audience shouts back at the screen specific sayings. It's pretty hilarious and makes for an even more entertaining experience. While we encourage you to dress up to come out to the Rocky Horror showing - its not necessary. We have many people that are familiar enough with what to do at specific moments during the film that you'll also get a chance to experience what it is like to be at one of the theatres that plays Rocky Horror weekly. All in all, it will be a great way of bringing in the new year by watching a cult classic in a historic theatre.
Don't know much about Rocky Horror? Want to know more? The full synopsis of the movie goes: A newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The flick is full of zany musical numbers and loads of fun. It originally came out in 1975 and when the film first opened, it had a traditional release, playing afternoon and early evening screenings. It bombed. Meat Loaf said he attended an opening week performance with director Jim Sharman in the Midwest where the theater was empty except for them. In the mid-1970s, midnight screenings became popular and word of mouth began to spread that the midnight audience might enjoy this film. It began showing at midnight in a few cities and it became popular, to the point that it has been shown continually in movie theaters since 1975, making it the longest theatrical run in history. The the Museum Lichtspiele cinema in Muenchen, Germany has been screened the movie every week since 24 June 1977, offering special "RHPS-Kits" to enable celebrations during the show.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is truly an original, never to happen again film and it's going to be loads of fun to have show at the Fox Theatre right here in McCook. It is rated R but is pretty tame by today's standards and probably would have possibly hit a PG-13 however we will require anyone underage to have a parent's permission to enter. The trailer is below if you'd like to watch a bit and you can find more information on http://www.imdb.com or just google Rocky Horror Picture Show. I used some info from IMDB in this post.

21Hulk Hogan: Still The Creepiest
But why is Hulk Hogan the creepiest this time? It's because he tweeted this picture of his daughter:
And he just captioned it "Brooke's legs." Gross.
Now, this is creepy enough on it's own, I think – I mean, if my dad did this … I don't know, I can't even imagine this, probably because my dad isn't gross – but what makes it really creepy is when you remember this picture:
Yep, that's Hulk applying suntan lotion to his daughter's ass. He really got in there, too. There are photos that I don't care to post of him pretty much rubbing his hand between her inner thighs. I don't care to post it because it seriously makes me uncomfortable.
Other reasons why the picture of Brooke's legs is creepy include the fact that Hulk slept with one of Brooke's friends who happens to resemble her, and also because he married a woman who could basically be Brooke's twin. Have we firmly established the creepiness yet?
Ok then, let's move on to why Hulk and Brooke say the picture isn't creepy. Here's Brooke's tweet:
A dad can't even be proud of his daughter without sickos makin it something it's not. Really?? Go back to your farm animals. ?#ignorant
And Hulk's:
Brooke works out for 2hrs a day,a fan takes a picture,Brooke love it,tweets back thank u,proud dad tweets it,creeps and perverts everywhere
For what it's worth, Brooke defended her dad during that lotion debacle by saying things like "he used to change my diaper" and "it's like he's touching an old car." You know, if old cars had nice asses.
Are you thoroughly disturbed yet?

4Quotables: Brandi Glanville Really Doesn't Hold Back
"She can go f-ck herself! Well, she has to, because who would want to?"
- Brandi Glanville asks a catty question that she forgets has a very simple answer.
But ok, this is getting weird. Because we're in this space now where both Brandi and LeAnn keep talking about each other, and then they keep talking about how the other woman won't stop talking about her. It's starting to get a little confusing. I feel like the next time we see LeAnn do an interview, she's going to talk about Brandi because Brandi won't stop talking about her talking about her talking about her. This cycle can be endless, and it just needs to stop.
By the way though, Brandi said that little thing about LeAnn at a recent book signing – her book, of course, mentions LeAnn. She also had something to say about Eddie and LeAnn's affair:
"I did everything right. I loved so hard. I loved my children and my family was perfect. I did everything I could do for him and the boys and to make him not want to stray. So, when it happened, especially with someone as attractive as her…"
I'm sorry, it's getting a little too catty in here. If you need to take a break, I understand.
Anyway, Brandi also said that when she's done promoting her book, "I promise I'm closing this chapter of my life." And I think that's really, really unlikely, but I guess we can all dream, right?

0Chris Brown Hit Frank Ocean First
From TMZ:
Chris Brown threw the first punch in his brawl with Frank Ocean … after Frank disrespected the singer in front of his boys … an eyewitness tells TMZ.
According to someone who was on scene, Chris lost his cool in the parking lot of the famous Westlake Recording Studios in L.A. Sunday when Frank refused to shake his hand.
We're told Frank simply laughed at the gesture … and Chris was so pissed he coldcocked Ocean and started an all-out war. As we first reported, Chris denies being the aggressor.
The fight quickly moved to the lobby of the studio … and sources say the brawling posses demolished the place –"They managed to break almost everything in the room and scare all of the staff members working" says the witness.
We're told the receptionist called 911 … and Chris booked it. As TMZ first reported, Frank stuck around for the cops … and griped about how he felt "blindsided" by Chris.
One last thing — we're told the parking situation at the recording studio is a serious hierarchy — with the bigger artists taking the better spots … and it's been that way for years. We're told Chris clearly felt he deserved the top spot … and Frank disrespected him by taking it for himself.
See, this scenario sounds way more likely than the one we first heard. Because sorry, but if there's a situation involving Chris Brown and it turns out that someone was being a dick, the dick is going to be Chris Brown. Always.
There's more news on this fight, too: TMZ spoke with police, who say that they have surveillance video of the fight. But remember how the fight moved from the parking lot to the lobby of the recording studio? The cameras were just in the lobby. They say that in that video, Chris and Frank aren't physically fighting, but their friends are.
Also, Chris' lawyer contacted police to tell them that Chris was totally ready to talk to them about what happened, because "he knows he did nothing wrong." Ha. Oh, and Chris left real quick when he heard someone was calling 911 because his lawyer told him that if he ever felt like he was about to get in trouble, he needed to leave immediately. Apparently his lawyer forgot to really define what kind of trouble he was talking about.
Team Frank Ocean. Did that even need to be said?

7Kristen Stewart Hates Everybody
From the National Enquirer:
Kristen Stewart has exploded in a jealous rage at rival actresses Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as singer Katy Perry, sources told The ENQUIRER.
Now, a worried friend fears the "Twilight" sexpot is "losing her grip on reality."
The 22-year-old troubled star is said to be having a confidence crisis.
And she has been telling pals she fears her career in Hollywood may be set to nosedive following last year's cheating scandal when she got involved with married "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.
"Kristen's feeling very sorry for herself," a friend told The ENQUIRER. "With the awards season underway, it's hit her just how much her leading lady status has plummeted.
"Seeing Jennifer Lawrence being worshipped on the red carpet, winning a Golden Globe and getting nominated for Oscars has really gotten to her. She's come out of nowhere and is getting the adulation that Kristen used to dream about."
The "Hunger Games" actress, 22, who won a best comedy actress Golden Globe for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook," is not the only rival to incur the wrath of the shamed star.
Even America's sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston, 43, is in K-Stew's line of fire. "Kristen's always been a big fan of Aniston's deadly rival Angelina Jolie and has never really rated Jen as an actress," revealed another source. "She can't understand why Jen manages to hog the headlines every time with very little effort.
"She's not that talented as an actress, nor is she the most beautiful. Kristen believes if it wasn't for her bitter rivalry with Angelina, Jen would NOT be this famous these days at all."
Despite reassurances from boyfriend Robert Pattinson, Kristen is terrified her movie headlining days could be numbered. "She knew there would be a backlash from her cheating scandal, but the scripts have definitely slowed down in landing on her doorstep," said the insider.
The actress also hit the roof when "Men's Health" magazine recently released its "Hottest Women of 2013" list and placed Jennifer Lawrence fourth while Kristen came in at No. 89. The poll was topped by singer Katy Perry.
"Kristen couldn't believe that Katy Perry was No. 1 on that list," said the insider. "She's known Katy for years and doesn't think she looks that hot, especially without her makeup.
"Kristen's in a really dark place at the moment and Rob is worried about her."
Now, obviously this isn't 100% true. Kristen Stewart can't possibly have this many feelings in general, let alone this many feelings about all these other famous ladies. It's just not plausible. Personally, I think she sits at home, smokes weed, and looks at her feet. Just that, all day long. She might have enough emotion to giggle or something at a cartoon, but she doesn't have enough to despise, like, three people. Let's be realistic here.

15Guess Who's Getting Her Own Talk Show!
It's Kris Jenner. Kris Jenner is getting her own talk show. I bet you wish you hadn't asked now, huh?
The show is going to have the very imaginative title of Kris, and it's going to air for an hour, every single weekday, starting this summer. It's going to be on Fox. It's going to have celebrity guests, and Kris is going to discuss beauty and fashion. Basically it's everything you could ever want.
These are all the details we know right now, but I want you to think about something. We all know how much the Kardashians like to share. Kris' show is starting this summer. Kim is due this summer. Think about it. I'm not saying that Kim will have the baby on air, but I am saying that there's a strong possibility that Kim might have her baby on air. Just a suggestion.

9Love It or Leave It: Courtney Stodden Goes Dark
But wait, before you freak out, don't freak out! It's a wig! Our dear Courtney Stodden is still just as blonde as ever. But wouldn't it be neat if she really did dye her hair this dark? I think it would, mostly because then she would look like an even worse drag queen.
Here's another picture to back that theory up:
Speaking of hair, I'm about to head out to my salon, y'all! Because I'm one of those girls who marks any major life change with a haircut, and since I'm going to be leaving all you darlings in just a few short days, I need to get something major done. I'm taking pictures of Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson, then I'm going to let Jesus take the wheel. I might show you guys what happens if I need you to tell me I'm still pretty.
But speaking of pretty, I need to show you the photo that Courtney posted after those two pictures above, the picture that shows she was just wearing a wig:
Right? Doesn't she look like a little baby drag queen who hasn't gotten her routine down quite yet? One that still hasn't gotten the hang of all those feminine wiles, who still doesn't hold herself quite right but is trying really, really hard?

That's why the National Weather Service makes specific weather forecasts — high and low temperature and probability of precipitation — only seven days in advance.
For extreme weather events such as hurricanes and cyclones, the agency sometimes makes longer-term predictions, based on such things as movements of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (a cycle of atmospheric weather in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific) or the more famous El Nino weather pattern. The Weather Service also offer a 10-month forecast, but it's extremely vague, making such predictions as an above-average amount of precipitation over the course of a season.
Making specific predictions that far ahead isn't yet possible, and it may never be, according to Uccellini. He notes that three obstacles prevent scientists from making reliable forecasts even only 10 days in advance: observation systems, numerical models and computing power.
With weather satellites proliferating, there have been tremendous improvements in global data collection over the last decade or so. Computing power has also moved forward rapidly, although the ability to run computations that divide the world into small segments demands a staggering electronic infrastructure. The models are the real sticking point, but the National Weather Service is making progress by taking a sort of "poll of polls" strategy, to borrow a phrase from political scientists.
"We're now finding that if you run an ensemble of models, merging an envelope of solutions from second and third models, you can extract a more likely solution," Uccellini says.
Testing on this combined-model approach has suggested that the National Weather Service may be able to push its official forecast out to 10 days, but no decision to do that has been made. (The agency moved from a five-day forecast to a seven-day one only in 2000.)
