This VTel Data Barn isn't exactly Google HQ, but that doesn't keep the company from offering fiber Internet at half the price. Vermont Telephone
A rural telephone company in Vermont just beat Google at its own game by offering super-fast fiber Internet for half the price of the search giant, all with the help of two, little-discussed, federal stipends set aside in 2009 as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
Of the original $787 billion stimulus, $7.2 billion was set aside for the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, of which Vermont Telephone Co. (VTel) received $94 million to invest in 1,200 miles of fiber, serving 17,500 homes.
The first grant that paved the way for VTel's super-competitive move is called Wireless Open World. In 2010, the Rural Utilities Service announced that VTel would receive the money to construct a statewide 4G/LTE wireless broadband network and a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network for 14 telephone exchanges.
The other grant, the Vermont Broadband Enhanced Learning Link is being used to offer a mixture of Gigabit service and Internet I & II services, as well as off-site data storage to K-12 schools, medical centers, institutions of higher education, public safety entities and other facilities.
VTel's gigabit Internet cost $35 a month compared to Google's $70 a month in Kansas City, Utah, and Texas. So far about 600 Vermont homes have subscribed.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that more than 700 rural telephone companies have switched to fiber.

In the aftermath of Saturday's shooting of Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords, we are faced with new calls to tone down rhetoric and moderate our political allegiances. In other words, come into the accepted fold. This is a sick way to move our political discourse further to the right. When politicians can paint targets on their political opponents and talk about the need to "reload" rather than "retreat" and other such violent rhetoric, they should not be surprised when someone acts on their words. Which in turn unleashes a deluge of calls for moderation in discourse. This only serves to sever those with legitimate complaints about our system from accepted discourse, leading us only to charge forward into oblivion.
When met with charges of extreme dialogue and incendiary language we have to look at the source. The source currently under inspection seems to come largely from those in power or directly benefiting from the power structure. Tea Party hatriots, extremely rich and connected radio/talk show hosts, and position holding politicians are the culprits of the contemporary "extreme" discourse. Aside from the Tea Party members (and not the corporate and political overlords of the movement), all of these people directly benefit from the system exactly the way it is already. Those that would call pro-choice candidates "baby killers"; or hold rallys where representations of an opponent or pieces of legislature serve as the targets; or compel their partisans to "reload" in the "fights" of election season; or terrify the ignorant with rumors of sharia law and Muslim terrorism at the hands of the opposing party – all already are benefiting the way things currently run. If nothing about our system changed, it would only serve to increase their power and wealth.
So why would using such bloody language be at all useful to them? Why would they bite the hand that feeds?
Because of people like Jared Lee Loughner. A man who, from what I can discern, was not a political ideologue but rather a deeply troubled individual. We can try to read between the lines and call him a right-wing zealot or lefty revolutionary, but so far I think that's more a reflection on those doing the name calling than anything else. And by some chance that we are able to discern Mr. Loughner's political leanings, in truth they matter not. By acting out in a way that kills innocent people in such a way that Palin's target map seems to eerily command, he has shocked a nation. Those very people who trumpeted out violent, incendiary, and hateful language will now be the town criers of moderation and the thought police of passivity.
This is the position and situation needed. With the amount of unrest in America today, the amount of revolutionary energy in the air – the power structure needs a way to limit the range of ideas marked as acceptable for the public to hear. Those who have legitimate complaints about the status quo can now be labeled with violent tendencies like Loughner's, their exact position on violent means needs not be understood. Ideas that are deemed incendiary will be blocked from public discourse even more so than they already are, those that espouse notions of a better society can now be looked at as terrorists. Why waste time with another HUAC when you can just let someone become your example of the dangers of language. We see already that reading Karl Marx is being associated with Loughner's acts because he listed the Communist Manifesto on his Youtube profile's favorite books (bizarrely, along with Mein Kampf – he must have been one of those nazi Communists that Beck is always raving about).
The power structure is using this to limit what is an acceptable idea to convey, because they themselves were unable to keep their ugly, crazy mouths shut.

Our hard-workin', sweet intern, Sara, discovered Cappa Cafe on Walnut Hill this morning. She files this report:
For those who fall under the category "definitely NOT morning people," breakfast on the run is sort of standard. So Cappa Cafe, a tiny, all-brick standalone off Walnut Hill and Central in the middle of a shopping center is a godsend. Not fast-food chainy type fare, it's got a good selection of coffees, lattes, and cappuccinos at friendlier prices than Starbucks (my medium skim cafe au lait was only two bucks, and they have one called the Hammerhead that I might have to try) andpastries, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, plus paninis and salads for lunch. I kept passing by thinking I was seeing the grand opening, because they've got flags and a huge banner announcing their existence, but apparently they've been open for two months now. Food was ready pretty fast, which means it might have been sitting under a heat lamp for a while, but it tastes fresher than most and the staff is super perky, which means their coffee works.

ROGERSVILLE (WATE) - A man is free on a $200,000 bond after a police search turns up several substances possessed illegally.
The Hawkins County Sheriff's Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant on 43-year-old Leon Trent's Rogersville home on Thursday.
Upon searching, officers found quantities of Morphine and Suboxone, for which he did not have a prescription. They also found a substantial amount of cash, which is believed to be proceeds from selling drugs.
Officers also found and seized numerous firearms, which had been strategically placed throughout the home.
The home was rigged with an extensive amount of surveillance equipment as well, including video monitoring systems and motion sensors. Police seized all of the equipment along with 8 vehicles and a Harley Davidson motorcycle believed to have been bought with money from illegal drug sales.
Authorities had been conducting an investigation into Mr. Trent possessing and selling large quantities of prescription controlled substances for several months.
Trent was initially taken to Hawkins County Jail and processed with criminal charges.
He is awaiting a May 22 court date. The case remains under investigation and further prosecutions are possible.

Right, this is a live review: I am in my hotel room on the Belgian coast. The wife is dead on her feet, so we stopped at a 'Night Store' for me to have a night-cap beer. The only beer they sold that I hadn't reviewed was this one. Can't believe I'm reviewing an Irish beer in Belgium!
33cl Brown bottle, best before 29 Jan 2012, reviewed in Middelkerke on 26 May 2011.
Poured into a glass tumbler, because that is what was available in the hotel room.
It's a Guinness, so it's dark with a huge tanned head: the smell is of a regular Guinness with alcohol added. Even the head (which refuses to shrink) tastes like an alcoholic infused normal Guinness.
Dry and malty taste, the alcohol detected in the aroma is hidden better within the mouth flavours, but appears somewhat in the aftertaste as the mouth drys; and as already mentioned, in the foaming head.
Not as well balanced as I expected and not a beer I'd search for, certainly not in Belgium: where there are so many great beers to try.

Picked up a bottle from Drinks of the World.
I dont know if this beer has been mistreated, but it certainly doesn't live up to my expectations. It poured a nice black body with tn head that left lacing, but it was downhill from there. The flavor and aroma especially are dominated by a thick caramel note with chocolate and coffee roast faint around the palate. Still, this beer was surprisingly drinkable and not bad overall - just nothing special.

Poured dark brown with a tan/brown pillowy head. Looked quite appetizing and the head stayed thick and present for as long as I was drinking the beer. The best part of the beer by far was its gorgeous appearance... a little more lacing would have made it a 5.
Smell: Caramel, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate combine to create a pleasant aroma. There is a noticeable hop aroma as well, but it doesn't carry over into the taste.
Taste: Dark chocolate dominates with a hint of careml in the background. It tastes noticeably like a guinness stout, and only marginally better than their other products. I had high expectations that were let down by how one-dimensional this turned out to be. The alcohol was well hidden, but the taste seemed almost entirely made up of roasted barley. There was, however, a slight taste of fruits during one of my sips, but that passed quickly and I did not taste it again.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy at first with a delayed roasted bitterness that becomes quite intense. The alcohol presence is subtle but adds to the complexity giving an almost balanced mouthfeel.
Drinkability: the intense roasted bitterness and alcohol would make it better if ther was more complexity in the taste. It's almost an RIS, but too simple and not interesting enough.

The color is black. It has two fingers of a beautiful cream colored foam, creamy. Good appearance.
Stout smell, intense, strong, with malty notes, liquorice, dark malts. Dark and intense notes.
The taste is strong and intense too, with a lot of liquorice, cocoa, hazelnut, and a rhubarb touch. Even some bitter roots.
It is for sure less smooth than a regular Guinness Draught, but more interesting.
Intense, strong, full.

Thanks to goryshkewych for this one!
This one looks black at a glance, but a nice, nutty red wine comes through when held to the light. The head is an irregular tan film.
Smells of molasses, pungent sour coffee, cherry pie and sour grains.
Tastes of a similar blend of molasses, caramel, red grapes and day old coffee.
Feels a tad viscous with a frothy carbonation that appears out of nowhere and jams things up a bit.
Fun to try, but not one I'll seek out again.

A - Pours black with 2 inches of tan head, which leaves some rings of lacing as it falls.
S - Chocolate, coffee, roast malt, alcohol
T - Large amount of roast malts at first, with some chocolate and coffee coming through. Alcohol warmth comes through in the aftertaste.
M - Creamy, full, smooth, surprising amount of carbonation.
D - Much better than the original and worth a try.

Nice appearance, with a jet black body and a light tan head, which has good retention an deposits globs of lacing on the glass. Dry roasted grain aroma mixing in with cocoa. The taste is fine, but by no means spectacular. Kinda reminds me of a slightly amped up Irish dry stout. Prominent oak and stale coffee flavours, mixed in with cocoa powder. Some hints of fruit and sugar, but overall very dry. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. Alcohol isn't even perceptible.
This didn't really impress me that much. While it is a decent beer its not in the same class as other foreign/export stouts, and it didn't have the richness of flavour I look for.

Thank you Abusmaster. Jet black with substantial off-white creamy head. Good malty and licorice and roasted barley aroma. Taste is dry and bitter, baker's chocolate, with diesel fuel and smoke at the end of the bottle. Easy creamy mouthfeel while you absord this dry stout, Certainly better than any Guinness I have had, far from the best stout.

Take your normal Guinness and put it on steroids. Darker. Thicker. Sweeter. Then make it only availible in Belgium and (where I found it) West Germany to torment beer drinkers everywhere else, and you have Guinness Special Export.
Coloring is almost completely black, with a strong tan head. Scent is pretty much identical to taste in every way, strong but not overpowering, dark fruits, coffee, chocolate. This beer is thick and creamy, to the point that it severely hurts the drinkability. Nice to sit down with one and relax, but this is by no means an every day sipper or a drink to get drunk sort of beer.

Bottle split thanks to Bobsy. Thanks for sharing this hard to get brew!
Pours a dark dark brown with mahogany around the edges, a light cappuccino head. Not a ton of bubbles.
First thing I get off the nose is honey bread (odd I know), followed by smooth choco nibs and a hint of caramel. Some light roasting, sweet smelling.
Taste is light cocoa, choco nibs, hints of dark fruits, coffee grinds, a touch of baking chocolate, honey, vanilla. Luxurious body, smooth and yet light feeling in the mouth - not heavy at all. Dry finish.
As Bobsy said, kind of an amped up Dry Irish though, to be honest, I was also disappointed. This lacked the bold roast flavor that I would be looking for, focused too much on the sweet chocolate, and, while certainly complex and rich in flavor, lacked in body. A nice beer and miles better than your average Guiness but still not something that I would get excited about. Thanks again Rob!

Black porter looking beer with a thin tan head. Roasty nose with some burnt edges. Tastes like regular Guinness with more body, more roast, added baking chocolate, and not as much sour tang - almost none in fact except where the bitterness of the roasted malts come into play. Not unlike an imperial stout, but perhaps on the milder side of that.

Bottle dated 30-09-13
Poured into a big wine glass. Fairly dark but the black body gives way to brown highlights. The head is thick and fluffy with bigger bubbles interspersed on top. Settles down fairly quickly but sticks around well.
Dark fruit and roast dominate the smell on this at first but there is some dark chocolate fudginess as well that comes out making this really inviting.
The taste is of dark fruit, a little roast and chocolate.
Smooth although fairly fizzy with a medium body.
Not super flavorful but very nice.

Looks delicious, deep brown to black, really compact head, tight bubbles. Didn't like the aroma so much (oily, buttery mollasses. Fat toffee and roast, thick and rich. Very long roasty finish, quite bitter. Some mollases and raisins aswell, very thick mouthfeel. Beautiful rich, bitter chocolate finish. A beautifully rich stout.

Marrow Bone Stuck On Lower Jaw
If this happens don't panic.
Think about it; if the bone was able to fit over the jaw and behind the canines than it is large enough to come back off.
Try this method before rushing to the vet:
With dog standing place your hand on the dogs throat grabbing the skin and pull down toward the chest. At the same time pull the bone from under the jaw up toward the ceiling. It will usually slip right over the canines and off the jaw.o
To prevent this from happening be sure your marrow bones are long enough – at least 6″ or more and that the center h0le is not too large.
Should I Worry About Coyotes In My Yard?
Coyotes are very smart and if they are hungry enough they can and will target your dog.
They send one out of the pack into your yard to befriend/play with your dog. The coyote than lures your dog to the pack where they attack and kill.
I will not allow my dogs out alone at night if the coyotes are around. They go out on a leash for a quick potty break and right back in the house.
We shoot off a modern black powder rifle into the sky to scare them off when we know they are around.
I knew of someone that was hiking with her dogs when coyotes showed up and attacked one of her dogs. She was hours by foot from her car and her dog was so badly injured and ripped open (intestines hanging out) that she had to suffocate the dog to stops it's suffering.
I do know that to keep bears away when hiking a coffee can full of coins that you shake loudly will scare them off. Perhaps this would work for coyotes too.
Is It Safe For My Dog To Swim in The Ocean Or Salt Water Pools?
It is provided your dog is not drinking the water or ingesting it as it retrieves toys from the ocean or pool.
My sister took her Lab to a friend's salt water pool and he kept retrieving a ball. Suddenly his back legs went out from under him and he could not see.
He had been swallowing water while carrying the ball in his mouth.
If this happens to your dog you need to get them to the vet immediately as the salt needs to be flushed from the body as soon as possible. Just coaxing your dog to drink lots of fresh water is not enough in my opinion. The vet will most likely administer IV and/or sub-Q fluids to flush the body.
The dog may also vomit up the salt water but I would not consider that to be enough. Get to the vet.
From info I have read it can effect the organs and blood and the dog can die if not cared for properly and immediately.
How Much Should I Feed My New Puppy?
You should feed the same amount the breeder is feeding when you get your pup home. It is also important to feed the same food as the breeder. If you feel the need to change food please feed the same food as breeder for about 3-4 weeks before switching to prevent stomach upset or diarrhea. You need to do a slow switch over to also prevent this.
You need to keep an eye on your pups weight so they stay at a healthy weight as they grow.
This is especially important as the adult teeth are coming in. The body needs calcium for the teeth to grow and be strong. If the pup is too thin (not getting enough to eat) than the body will draw calcium from the bone. Once you loose bone you can not get it back and the pup will not grow to the proper standard of the breed.
English/bench bred Labrador pups should be chuncky (not fat) rather than lanky. Most vets will disagree with this but they don't know the breed like reputable breeders do. In fact most vets get very little, if any, nutritional training in vet school. They are not your best source for questions about brand and amount of food to feed.
Your pup should have a very slight waist line from back of ribs to hip.
Your pup will go thru growth spurts and this is when you need to increase the amount you are feeding. Perhaps 1/4 cup daily will be enough. You need to keep an eye on stools. After a few days if they are firm than add another 1/4 cup to another meal. See how the pup does on the 1/2 cup increase and if they are not gaining slowly add a bit more.
If you are not sure take your pup to your breeder for their opinion or email them a pic of your pup standing from the side and from the top with you standing at the pups rear end.
Natural Antihistamines For Dogs
Many dogs have skin issues either from allergies, hotspots from itching/chewing or chewing from boredom, etc.
Most vets will put your dog on steroids which is not good for them long term.
I prefer the holistic approach when possible and have found a few things that work well.
One is a salve of Comfrey and St. Johns Wort compound from www.mountainroseherbs.com
Another is Quercetin and Bromelain. I use this product giving one per day:
Vitamin C in high doses (to bowel tolerance) works well too. It makes the adrenal gland produce natural steroids which work as a natural anti-inflammatory. Slowly increase and watch for bowel intolerance. I have given as much as 6000 – 8000 mg. daily split up in 2 meals.
The rule of thumb when using human supplements for a dog 50 – 90 lbs is 1/2 the adult dose. For small breeds or puppies give 1/2 the child dose. (Vit C is a water soluble vitamin so the body will flush what it does not need/utilize)
Some dogs will have allergies to certain foods so if you suspect this you need to do elimination diets. Fillers can often be the culprit (corn, wheat, etc.) but sometimes it is the protein source in the dog food. You can do allergy testing to pinpoint the culprit whether its food or environmental but it can be costly.
Years ago I had a dog allergic to corn. Switched to a kibble with no corn and it solved the problem. I watched her eat an ear of corn off the stalk in the yard one day and within 24 hours she had a huge flair up so for me it was easy to figure out. Years later the same dog needed specific food for kidney failure and it had corn in it but she never had a flair up which tells me she outgrew the allergies just like children can.
If you are unsure about using human supplements for your dog consult with a holistic vet.
Natural Anti Itch Remedies For Humans
If you are like me mosquito bites drive you nuts and the itching can keep you up most of the night.
I have tried a few things that work well.
Put witch hazel in a spray bottle and spray the effected area. The key is to do this prior to scratching the itch.
A combination salve made from Comfrey, St. John's Wort Compound from www.mountainroseherbs.com works great. I keep it on my night stand for when I wake up itching and it works very quickly.
I have recently tried something else that works great, especially if taken prior to bed.
Boiron pellets from Amazon. It is Apis Mellifica. Put 3 pellets under your tongue and let them dissolve. I get results in about 20 minutes when taken after itching starts.
Teaching Your Puppy To Swim
Most puppies do not know how to use their back legs the first time they try to swim. Their back end sinks and they may panic and develope a fear of the water.
If you have a pool or a friend with a pool this is the best way to teach them.
Purchase a puppy size life vest. They are around $25.00
Put a collar and leash on the pup and the vest. Carry the pup into the shallow end of the pool and get them used to the water. Than try to get them to swim in a circle around you while you hold the end of the leash.
The vest will keep them afloat while they learn to use their back legs and they will not panic.
Than guide them toward the stairs so they know where to get out of the pool. Otherwise they may try to climb out the side and panic when they can't get out.
Take off the vest and go back in the pool with your pup on the leash and see if they use their back legs.
If so, you and your pup should be good to go. If not put the vest back on and keep practicing.
Cauliflower Casserole
Take a head of cauliflower and blanch it.
Put in a food processor and puree.
Add cream cheese, sour cream, chopped chives, grated swiss cheese and butter. Salt and pepper to taste.
Be creative with cheese. Parm, cheddar, whatever……..
Puree it all till smooth and t0 the consistancy you want. The more you add the thinner the casserole.
Put in a casserole and top with buttered sauted bread crumbs and bake in a 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until bubbling.
(melt butter in a pan and add bread crumbs and sautee till browned. The more butter the better. This is the topping for your casserole)
Serve as a side dish with any meat; pork, steak, chicken, lamb, etc.
Peanut Butter And Banana Crepe With a Zing
This s awsome.
Make pancake batter very thin to crepe consistancy. Cook two crepes and set aside.
Take one crepe and spread with peanut butter, add a layer of mayonnaise and place crepe side down in a cast iron frying pan.
Add sliced bananas, chopped walnuts and crisped cooked chopped bacon.
Put peanut butter and mayo on the other crepe and place PB side down on top of the other crepe.
Bake in the oven at around 325 degrees (or stove top) till PB melts a bit.
Top with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream and serve.
When Can I Take My Puppy To Obedience Classes?
You can start your puppy training at home. Teach the pup starting at 8 weeks of age to walk on a leash. Teach sit, down, leave it, wait, etc.
I do not recommend group classes until your pup has had all its vaccinations. The last one should be at 16 weeks or older. And most group classes will also require rabies, which should be done no sooner than 4 weeks after the last vaccination.
If you take your pup to a group class prior to all vaccinations you are taking a huge chance of exposing the pup to deadly diseases. The worst of them being Parvo.
Please ask your vet for their opinion. The trainer conducting the classes will most likely tell you its fine to start after the second vaccination…… because they want enrollment to make money.
The only way you will know if 2 vaccinations are enough is to titer test your pup at the vet. This is a blood draw and sent to the laboratory to see if the pup has an immunity to the diseases for which is being vaccinated for.
Please, for the sake of your pup, wait for all vaccinations to be completed before starting a group obedience class.
This also goes for not taking your pup to Petsmart stores or the like, dog parks, etc…..
And when you go to the vet's office, do not allow your pup on the ground of the facility; in the waiting room or the exam room until all vaccinations are complete.
Please listen to this advice for the health of your beloved puppy.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – It was another trip to the kitty spa for a handful of Decatur County felines Tuesday afternoon – a.k.a. the 2013 Decatur County 4-H Fair cat show.
Turnout to was down compared to previous years, said the event's organizer, Dr. Hank Martin, but the felines didn't seem to mind or even notice.
In fact, unlike last year's event, there were no problem kitties, none who made judging difficult or impossible, or who steadfastly refused to leave the confines of their carrier.
The lack of turnout didn't appear to dampen the spirits of entrants, either, and they gladly carried their kitties to the judge's table for inspection and scoring.
As per usual, explained show Dr. Martin, the competition included three age categories: Grades 3 to 5; Grades 6 to 8; and Grades 9 to 12.
Unfortunately, no one signed up in the Grade 6-to-8 Class actually showed, Martin said.
Each contestant brought his or her cat to the judging table one by one, called by grade category, where Judge Diana DeWitt rubbed, turned, inspected and graded.
DeWitt told the Daily News that, in judging the felines, she focused on several attributes: Condition and cleanliness of teeth and ears; condition of the coat (is it matted at all or appear to be brushed daily?); weight; the child's knowledge of the animal; feeding content and frequency; vaccinations; playtime schedule and habits; age; and chemistry between cat and child.
DeWitt further explained that, while the personality of the cat plays a role in judging, she's far more interested in the interaction between cat and owner.
"I don't really care as much how well I get along with them [the cats]," she said. "That's not what matters."
The winners of the 2013 Decatur County Fair Cat Show are as follows:
In the Grade 3 to 5 Grade Category, Rachel Teague and her long-haired gray female, Princess, was crowned Champion; Conner Bower took home Co-Reserve Champion with his sister Savannah; the siblings' cats were named Pearl and Princess, respectively.
Katherine Teague and her short-haired, nine-year-old gray female, Angelina, were named Champion in the 9 to 12 Grade category, with Sarah Rupp and Indiana Jones taking Reserve Champion.
Katherine Teague and Rupp were also crowned overall Grand Champion and overall Reserve Grand Champion of the competition, respectively.
The 2013 wins mark Katherine Teague and Angelina's second straight year as both Champion of the Class and Grand Champion of the competition.
2013 is also the second straight win for Rachel Teague and Princess in the Class; it's also only Rachel's second year of competing. Seven-year-old Princess has been competing a little longer though.
"My sister and brother both do the cat show," she explained. "But he stopped doing it a few years ago, so I took his cat."

Welcome to my ridiculously simple website. That's it, nothing much else to say, pretty boring and unremarkable actually.
Best Regards,
Herb Goodman-KF4TVi
Happy Earth Day! It is hard to believe it has been 40 years since the first Earth Day. I saw on the news they started with a budget of just over $100k and are now spending millions to promote this event. While I can honestly say more people seem to be aware of the movement, I am not sure we are making enough headway. The environment still seems to be taking a back seat to economic stimulation and other politically driven agendas. Time will tell.

Posted by Catherine Kallon on February 27th, 2012 In: Best Dressed, Blog, Oscars
JESSiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiica, perfect, beautiful, sensual
Angelina Jolie, who I've rarely seen have so much fun and just looked great.
Yes! Where is Angelina???? Surely she was 10x better than Ellie Kemper
Yes Angie!
I've vote Angelina if she was on the list as well.
thanks for the lovely coverage FC Hope you get some rest soon!
This year was just underwhelming. No denying that everyone looked great but it was just blah. But my vote goes to Milla
Voted for Milla, but absolutely adored Glenn Close as well.
Amazing job covering the Oscars FC. You deserve a medal and a nice holiday for making it through these super hectic weeks. We all appreciate it.
Like I said in her post, I liked her from the moment I saw her, and after sleeping on it, I woke up and I can say for sure that Jessica Chastain was my favourite.
Where is Angie !!!
I wish Glenn was in this poll. She was my joint best dressed with Gwyneth.
Gwyneth for me. She shut it down.
I was so blown away, maybe its just the fact she tied her hair up but it was spectacular.
Then Rooney second, I know people are bored of her wearing black and white but I always love it, because she knows what works for her, sometimes fashion is about sticking to what you know and like, knowing you look amazing.
My top 3 were Natalie Portman, Emma Stone (in spite of the deja vu feeling from the dress) and Rooney Mara. I really can't get on board with all the love for Gwyneth's outfit
gwyneth my pick, she looks stunning and btw so much beautiful gown this year..yey
I have to say that I'm very disappointed by these dresses. I only like a couple of them. Most dresses look so safe.
There were some nice dresses, but I sort of thought this was an incredibly dull red carpet. I was disappointed Glenn, Jessica Chastain, Ellie Kemper, Milla and Gwyneth totally brought it, but a lot of the other dresses were so dull. Red, black and nude. I love Emma and am so glad she wore colour and an unusually detailed dress, but I couldn't get behind that bow with Nicole and I can't with her either. FC, did you think this red carpet was a bit disappointing?
Usually I have a look that I obsess over all year, and there wasnt one this year. I was really disappointed. Where is Mila Kunis or Charlize Theron when you need them?
Voted for Jessica, she looked sensational. My best dressed of the night was Octavia Spencer though, what a pitty she's not in this poll
I cannot get on board with Gwyneths superman cape. Beautiful Emma was my fav in that stunning colour, with Milla a close second.
Now I have seen it without the cape and I have to say that Gwyneth takes the prize for being the best dressed at the Oscars.
FC,you should include Missi Pyle. She looks amazing! She is one of my best.
It's so difficult to choose one lady, but I voted Stacy Kleiber, I love that golden dress, but they're all incredibly well dressed. This year the Oscars fashion didn't disappoint us, I guess.
I went with Emma Stone. Rose Byrne was a close second.
I agree with the underwhelming vibe of it all though.
my favourite is definitely gwyneth paltrow- but only with the cape on.. without the cape, it looks kind of boring and not that flattering…
i really liked emma stone and rose byrne too..
sadly i was disappointed with rooney mara which i absolutely love, but i wished she had gone all out on this occasion- like a spectacular colour and a different shape of a dress
Seriously, bring on Cannes… this was a disappointing red carpet.
1. Gwyneth
2. Penelope
3. Stacy
4. Judith Greer (not covered, but I loved her dress.)
LOVE LOVE LOVE Natalie Portman…so classic Hollywood…really stunning!
It was a very boring and disappointing red carpet
FC why didn't you cover Judy Greer? She looked amazing in Lhullier
This was such a disappointing red carpet. I'm actually sad. But anyway, I'm going with Penelope.
I know – me too! There were so many gorgeous gowns to choose from! There must enormous pressure on the ladies to get it right, so I can understand the reluctance to take a risk, but it's too bad. The after party gowns are better.
I honestly couldn't decide, it was a pretty levle playing field for me, But I voted Jessica. I also loved Penelope, which is a rarity for me, and Octavia, as well as Stacy & Milla.
I'm surprised that Gwyneth got so much love. I thought she looked good, but the cape and the hair was a tad to nineties for me personally, but I think I have to let it grow on me.
It's a joke! Really. Where is Angelina? You thought that you wrote super funny comments regarding her appearance at the red carpet. Being a fashion critic means: professionalism. Let's forget about the wrong pose (it's not so important anyway)and focus on the gown, shoes, make-up and hair!
I am really sorry to say it but you like criticising people over too much.
Be professional
My favorites were Penelope and Jessica, who wore two of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen. Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer rounded it out for me, with an honorable mention for Glenn Close, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Natalie Portman. I know a lot of people say it was underwhelming but I thought there were a lot of great looks!
So glad you had all my favorites (except Octavia Spencer, but I totally understand). I've been reading other sites and being all, no! u r wrong, Rose Byrne was not worst dressed! Thank you for your excellent poll choices.
Where's Angelina? She was a total perfection.
Thanks for the great coverage!! I think I refreshed the page over a million times tonight! I am sad about the fact that there were no wow moments ala Zoe Saldana at the 2010 oscars … maybe next year
Michelle Williams for me. That burnt orange Louis Vuitton was amazing.
That Tom Ford does not look good on video. Givenchy win for me
I thought Natalie, Milla and Gwynneth all dressed in a way that totally suited their personalities and figures. I suppose Gyynneth had the biggest wow factor with her cape, but I have to go with Natalie's simple understated look. I feel like the choices this year are between lots of well dressed women, with no real 'oh my god' stand out moments, although perhaps Gynneth's cape will stick in people's memory….in any case, your totally on point critiques F.C. were the only real pleasures of an otherwise somewhat bland night…….
1) Gwyneth Paltrow
2) Milla Jovovich
3) Jessica Chastain
4) Octavia Spencer
5) Natalie Portman
Michelle wins for me. She's tiny, quiet and delicate, so she didn't grab as much attention. That Louis Vuitton gown was gorgeous, and she'd the perfect "LV by Marc Jacobs" girl. Looks like Gwyneth may win. I'll be happy, too. She did Tom Ford justice. I can't wait to read about her red carpet preps on GOOP! When Ford returned to womenswear last year, we all wondered who'd wear it best on the red carpet. Julianne Moore? Well, nobody beats Gwyn.
I'm so disappointed.
This must have been the most boring Oscars ever. All the dresses seemed like deja vu to me…
Is there another poll somewhere? Are these all the choices? *confused face*
Were the hell is Angelina Jolie?
apparently not there…..why is it so hard to understand????????
yes i'm disappointed Angelina Jolie wasn't in the poll. she is my Best Dressed for the night!! she looks amazing!
Amazing coverage FC!!
I really missed Cate Blanchett on the red carpet last night.
Really nothing special about Penelope and Cameron
Gwyneth Paltrow is very refreshing and standing out in a good way
Whether Jessica Chastain wear McQueen or Givenchy, she ruined the gown
Emma Stone totally overshadowed by Nicole Kidman's iconic look, did she know that they are not even in the same league
Never a fan of Natalie, the dotted print makes her adress even worse
No doubt Rooney go for Givenchy, but not her best look ever
Michelle wore color and took risk this time, still boring
Gwynnie shut it down for me. There is always that one person of the night that I completely love (Cate last year, Zoe the year before) that puts everybody else in the shadow. And I am really glad that Gwyneth was that person this year!
And I have to agree about the red carpet being super dull this year. I mean Oscars are known for being boring when it comes to red carpet choices but this year it was a total snoozefest.
I'm lost, very unimressive. Stacy Keibler stands out, Milla Jovovivch runner-up.
Thanks for the superb coverage during awards season. Just wish the celebs wowed me as much as your work ethic, attention to details and jocular writing.
My favorites Milla, Gwyneth, Jessica and Rooney.
I recognize that Gwyneth really brings a unique factor, but I just can't love the cape. for some reason it makes me think "vatican" and "priest". I voted for Milla, she was perfection from head to toe!
where is j-lo? she looked beyond
My top 5:
1. Octavia Spencer
2. Gwyneth P
3. Milla J
4. Tina Fey
5. Penelope Cruz
Why neither Angelina nor Octavia are in the poll… it's a shame. Lovely coverage though of a kind of blah Oscarnight.
Gwyneth was my absolute favorite, though Jessica and Milla were close behind. Ellie Kemper would have been a contender if her hair had been a bit different.
I wouldn't pick Maya Rudolph for my #1 best dressed, but I would have loved to have seen her on this list over Natalie Portman or Cameron Diaz.
FC, what about meryl?!i know she's had some serious misses in the past, but she looked better than most of the other starlets on the carpet last night! (also, thanks for the amazing coverage!)
Thanks FC for the coverage. I thought Tina Fey was best dressed–best she's ever looked too. Meryl also looked great. Agreed about Angelina–not my favourite for sure.
I think Michelle Williams really brought her A game. I'm usually bored by her picks,but this one was my absolute favourite on a very dull oscar red carpet night..
I think the Oscar red carpet needed some assstance from Zoe Saldana and Cate Blanchett.
i loved Stacy Kiebler! Fantastic!
I think Giuliana Rancic's Tony Ward dress was really pretty! In fact, prettier than a lot of the gowns worn by major celebrities…
Definitely Gwynie! She looks like a goddess! I was blown away by her and the simplicity of her look! I was so happy with this years red carpet! Jessica lived up to her potential and Emma was amazing again. I am also really happy that Stacy stepped it up and made the list. She has had so many gorgeous looks but were understated leaving the spotlight for George! She is stunning in this Marchesa and good on her! All these ladies are worthy winners
My faves are in this order: 1. Milla 2. Gwyneth 3. Emma. They are all sensational.
1. Milla Jovovich
2. Ellie Kemper
3. Penelope Cruz & Rose Byrne
4. Rooney Mara
5. Jessica Chastain
I also really liked Meryl Streep.
Although it was rather boring fashion wise at this Oscars Gwyneth was my favourite.
That was a little hard but I chose Gwyneth.I think she looks terrific, she could have gone all wrong with that cape but she nailed it. The second palm goes to Jessica for her incredible dress. Michelle Williams looks great.Penelope,Milla and Emma also looked great but nothing new.
By the way Angelina dress was OK nothing more. so I totally agree with her not being on the list.Her look at the Golden Globes was wayyy better
Jessica Chastain, followed by Gwyneth Paltrow! But I would have also loved to see Glenn Close in this poll!

I'm an avid reader. There's something about settling in with a good book that's so satisfying, so mesmerizing, so addicting that, once I start reading, it literally becomes an obsession. The more I read, the more I want to read. It would be quite easy for me to do absolutely nothing else.
For most of my adult life I've kept a running list of all the books I've read, by title and author. The list has become quite a tome in itself. I've also made little notations in the margin of the list to, more or less, rate the books. Those notations help me remember not only what each book was about, but also whether I would recommend it to my family and friends.
My book rating system is not exactly sophisticated. Most of my notes are just a one or two-word comment like "good" or "unlikely ending" or "hilarious." If the book was truly awful I'll write some really insightful evaluation like "Ich!" If it was okay, but something about it bothered me, I might jot "bogs down" or "too wordy" or "unlikely ending." If the author threw in something that seemed out of place (gratuitous sex, blood and guts) that really annoys me, then my comment might be "raunchy" or "too gory." I'm not a prude, but if I'm going to spend my precious time reading a book, I don't want to spend half that time grossed out for no good reason.
About once a year, I encounter a book that is so good my comment will simply be WOW! And often that will be followed by the names of two or three people I know who also would like that book.
Now and then, maybe once every few years, I stumble onto a book that is so amazing, or so well written, I can't wait to tell everyone I know, "You have got to read this!" Those books get a notation like "GREAT!" or "AWESOME!"
Looking back over my list is fun. For most entries, just seeing the book name along with my comments can instantly bring back the whole plot line. Sometimes it will even make me want to reread a book, though I usually can't bear to spend time rereading when there are so many new books calling out to me.
I'm always amazed that there are also books on my list which, despite my notes, I can't remember at all. Even some titles with positive comments seem completely unfamiliar. How can that be?
Of course, the rare exceptional books that just blew me away will always be remembered. So I thought perhaps I should share a few of the titles that I highly recommend. If you're a real book addict, you've probably already read many of them, but perhaps I've found a gem or two that you've never encountered.
Here, then, in random order, are 15 favorite books I've read in the last decade or so, along with the authors. They're the best of the best, in my book (excuse the pun):
"Beloved" by Toni Morrison
"The Awakening" by Kate Chopin
"Cold Sassy Tree" by Olive Ann Burns
"The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers
"Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry
"An American Childhood" by Annie Dillard
"All the Pretty Horses" by Cormac McCarthy
"Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt
"The Last Sin Eater" by Francine Rivers
"A Place to Call Home" by Deborah Smith
"Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson
"Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson
"The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kid
"Morgan's Passing" by Anne Tyler
"The Shack" by William P. Young
And for those of you who think reading is not your thing, I defy you to pick up and not be sucked into my all-time favorite ... "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb.
Got a great book I didn't list? E-mail it to me: firstname.lastname@example.com

Cargotec's MacGregor Acquires Hatlapa

January 19, 2007
Dawson - - Fire destroyed a Dawson duplex Friday morning and left two families without homes. The occupants believe the fire started in a laundry room and quickly spread. Everyone got out uninjured, but heartbroken at having lost all their belongings.
Constance Bullock has a lot on her mind.
"Where me and my babies gonna sleep tonight."
It's almost hard to think after a fire ravaged her duplex destroying almost everything she owns.
It happened while Angela Jackson was seeing her children off to school.
"I smelled something and I heard a pop and I was smelling stuff so I went to check the laundry room and once I went in the laundry room, it was just smoke."
She went to wake up Bullock and alert her children.
"By the time I got out of the house and got her, it was already burning in the back."
Jackson's teenage son was already at school at the time.
"When we got to school somebody told me my house was on fire," Andrellious Jackson says.
He left school to check on his family, only to find his house destroyed and family devastated.
"The time she started screaming my name, flames started coming through," Bullock says.
Everyone, including a one year old and three year old, made it out ok. But most of their possessions burned with the home.
"All our games and clothes, everything's gone only thing that we got is the clothes that we got and our book bag and books," Jackson says.
And all his mother can think about is a very grim reality.
"I have nothing."
But loved ones who share the loss.
The families were renting the unit. The state fire marshal's office is investigating to determine what started it.

The Giants are reporting that they have acquired Sage Rosenfels for and undisclosed 2011 pick as well as a 2012 conditional pick. The Viqueens also included Darius Reynaud in the trade. Farve looks brittle and I doubt that he will stay healthy all year. TJack is not the answer otherwise Childress would have let him take the reigns. I thought their best option at backup QB was Rosenfels. . .and now he's gone.
In other NFC North news, it looks like the Bears have contacted last years third round pick with intentions to cut him. Juaquin Iglesias has only been with the team one year and they are going to cut him. I thought this was relevant to the debate on POD about Derrick Williams. I think the Lions' patience will pay off with Williams. I also hope Iglesias lands with another team, not in our division, and blows up just to spite the Bears.

Letter for mothers day
|Dear Mom;
I know it isnt, much but Ive decided to write you a little letter to tell you everything you mean to me.
I was looking for cards for you the other day, something that you would like, and that could get my point across but wasnt to mushy. Its a hard compromise to make. So I said to myself Self, why not make her a card? But then I was thinking about it today, and Im not the most poetic.
So here I am writing you a letter, something I probably havent done since I stopped believing in Santa *wink*.
To express in words everything that you are to me would be like trying to fill the grand canyon one grain of sand at a time, but Im going to try.
Everything I love about myself comes from you. My eyes, my ability to smile and laugh at myself. My perseverance, and ability to tell myself Itll all turn out in the end. You taught me everything about life, from the most basic things like tying my laces and saying my ABCs to much more complex things. Loving myself, simply because you love me, and complete understanding of others. You told me once that Im to independent for a man. You are the one who taught me that independence, Im happy being myself, you trust my opinion and always keep an open mind to what I have to say, not many adults have that respect for kids. You always listen to me and allow me to make my own mistakes. Im sure youve watched me walk into situations that you knew were going to hurt, but the thing that lets me know how much you care is that you let me go into them. Had I been totally sheltered from life Id never learn, and when life pushed me around you always gave me your shoulder and ear, and the strength to push back. Ive always pulled through.
Remember grade 3 and Miss Dunnett? How Id cry because of her? You always listened to me then, even though, looking back I realize my qualms were so frivolous.
Your so self-less, it amazes me. I asked you SO MANY times what you wanted for mothers day but you couldnt think of your wants! Get me an ink jet what do you want to get me?
Its so hard to find something this year because I realized, that I dont give you as much credit as you deserve, flowers dont do you justice.
I want to pamper you, I want to hire an astronaut to write how much I love you on the moon.
I cant express in words what you give to me without even knowing it. Your doing an amazing job being my mother, and I dont think I tell you enough.
I feel as though I take you for granted sometimes, and maybe you even take yourself for granted.
So today is your one day a year to be spoiled, one measly little day to focus on you rather then everyone else, when youve given every day of your life for the past 16 years to me.
I cant imagine my life with anyone else. I dont even want to imagine it.
Were growing old together and I wouldnt have it any other way.
So happy mothers day, I hope you enjoy it, and now you know that I can write more then 50 words about what you mean to me. I dont need an essay contest to tell you though. (549 words)
Mom I love you with every fibre of my being.
You need more then 24 hours.
Happy Mothers Day !
Ill always have you to thank for everything I am.
Love you every day of the year
Your daughter

PEORIA, Ill. -- Some local students are tapping into their talents, thanks to a new art class.
It's proving to be such a success, it landed a spot in this week's One Class at A Time.
Terry Spayer teaches art at Roosevelt Magnet School in Peoria. Being creative is what gets his mind going and he says the $1000 grant will help keep the students' minds active with new projects.
"There's lots of clay projects. There's a lot of sculpturing projects, different kinds of tools the kids can use," Spayer said.
However, it's more than just arts and crafts. Mr. Spayer uses art as therapy for his students.
"I always say that art comes from a person's heart. It's how they feel about things. We talk about how they're feeling at the time and what the art means and just reassure to them that what they do is important," Spayer said.
Mary Seelye can attest to that. The 4th and 5th grade teacher says doing art helps the kids focus.
"It calms them down, and of course, when they're calm, and they're doing their work and their grades are going up... I mean, it's tremendous. I'm so glad that he's with us," Seelye said.
Roosevelt Magnet prides itself in its fine art. This is the first year the school has introduced therapy art. By the looks of it, it's quickly becoming a masterpiece.

What's wrong with the CY Young picture? - Black Jack on the White Sox
" Now that they have officially allowed full season 15 game winners to represent the best in the game, you start to worry about perennial low ERA, high strikeout guys like Vasquez being propelled to the highest level of respect...when they shouldn't. What is the difference how many strikeouts a guy has if they can't ultimately win games?" Between this and the news of Tony B.'s "Oppo Plan" I think I need some air.

You just have to practice.
\Some peoples voices naturally break up and distort nicely at lower volumes.
While others have to praticly yell to break up correctly.
And if that werent enough theres the whole inward screaming thing thats getting big these days.
Point is...just like with anything else....
You just have to practice.
A good way to practice is with a cd of a singer you dig.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bart!
Facts about Bart
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Bart
Bart's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bart is 7 years old -- he's a black purebred cocker spaniel who would like to live in an adult-only home. Bart is micro chipped, and loves to play fetch. His previous owner described him as "playful, gentle and friendly". Bart's adoption fee is $250.
Other Pets at American Cocker Spaniel Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bart, a Tacoma Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Tacoma, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Tacoma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tacoma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tacoma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tacoma paves the way for another one to be saved.

Espresso Yourself!
Historically, Florentines and other Tuscans served espresso in their homes with handmade and hand-decorated porcelain espresso sets. Often made of white porcelain, each set was hand-painted with either a blue Renaissance design or with fruits and/or flowers, usually in blues and yellows. Still popular today, these sets – and their traditional patterns – are Tuscan specialties.
According to Wendy Paladini, co-owner of A Touch of Tuscany, a family-owned company in Florence, Italy, the coveted Italian ceramic used to make espresso sets is Maiolica, earthenware that was inspired by the Hispano-Moresque wares from the Island of Majorca. Maiolica was first imported into Italy in the 14th century.
"Before long, Italian potters began to copy and reproduce these popular wares," Paladini says. "To achieve the look, a hand-formed piece was fired, then covered with a white tin glaze. After the white glaze had dried, the piece was then hand-painted with colorful decorations before being fired again at 1,000 degrees F. This process resulted in a durable piece with a hard, shiny surface."
By the 15th century, Maiolica was nearly revered as an art form, and Tuscany produced the renowned "blue relief" wares, featuring the rich cobalt blue colors, from 1430 to 1460.
In addition to the traditionally designed sets, Tuscany now offers modern espresso serveware. Illy, the famous coffee producer, has manufactured modern espresso sets since 1992, and each year, the collections tend to sell out. Illy sets are white porcelain with vivid colors and decidedly non-traditional designs. Past collection designers have included film director Francis Ford Coppola, rock star David Byrne and artist Jeff Koons.
Whether your tastes run to the modern, whimsical or traditional, you can likely find an Italian espresso set to suit your taste. But why settle for just one when the choices are as delicious as the coffee itself?
The Perfect Espresso: It's All in the Pressure
While the beans are important and the grind is crucial, it's the brewing equipment that determines whether an espresso drink is mediocre, good or superb. And the Italians, who created espresso, have perfected the art of brewing it.
The Viennese, who improved on the original product by filtering this strong bitter drink, first introduced Italians to a form of Turkish coffee. After a centuries-old love affair with coffee, the Italians created and perfected the drink they called "espresso."
In spite of the fact that Frenchman Edward Loysel de Santais produced the first large steam espresso machine in the 1800s, the real breakthrough in espresso machines occurred in 1901. Luigi Bezza created an enormous restaurant machine that used trapped steam to generate roughly 22 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. "[It was then that] the technology and culture of caffè espresso was born," says coffee expert Kenneth Davids in his book Espresso: Ultimate Coffee (St. Martin's Griffin, 2001).
Although Bezza's machine was a real breakthrough, it still did not produce the amount of pressure needed to elicit maximum flavor from the coffee grounds. Later on, fellow Italian, Achille Gaggia, invented a piston-powered spring that activated the machine's lever, which lead to the production of the hydraulically powered piston espresso machine in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, the modern espresso machine was born with such innovations as heated water and brewing pressure delivered by a pump.
The creation of automatic push-button espresso machines in the 1980s and 1990s made espresso brewing effortless and the results predictably good. But while the science of brewing espresso is easily explained, coffee lovers know that the magnificence of the perfect brew is beyond explanation.

Media mogul confesses she forces herself to view her own medium
Yikes! Apparently Oprah Winfrey is too busy living her best life to watch TV these days.
That's what the 58-year-old media mogul confessed in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar, while talking about her cable network, OWN, and other timely topics. Winfrey left her daytime-TV throne after 25 years to launch OWN in 2011.
Bing: More on Oprah Winfrey | Winfrey's OWN
"I have to force myself. Only what I need to," Winfrey said of her medium. "You know, the shoemaker has no shoes."
Plus: Fall TV report card | Grossest things eaten on TV
Winfrey added that she prefers to read the "Fifty Shades of Grey" novels and take hot baths instead of tuning into the tube. She also meditates and surfs the web for positive reinforcement from sites such as TheDailyLove.com.
But here's the thing: If Winfrey doesn't watch OWN, why should others?
Luckily for her, OWN is doing a heck of a lot better than it was in its inception year. Her highest rated show is "Oprah's Next Chapter," which, with the help of guests such as Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, gets up to 3.5 million viewers.
Hmmm. Maybe Winfrey is onto something. She doesn't have to watch her own shows to get viewers. She just has to be on them.
"Oprah's Next Chapter" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.
Wait, Donald's a nervous sailor? But that outfit...
In this new short premiering tomorrow, Donald reveals he doesn't know how to sail - his outfit is purely due to the fact that Daisy loves a, um, man in uniform.

The Mickey Mouse short "Donald the Sailor" airs at 8:55 p.m. ET/PT on Friday August 8 on Disney Channel.
Geek alert: 'Mythbusters' hosts lend their voices in this special episode
MSN TV has this exclusive image of "Mythbusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as members of the Empire:
Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh expressed their excitement about adding Savage and Hyneman to the cast: "We've been wanting to do something with them for ages, because they are the living adult versions of Phineas and Ferb in the real world. We ran into them at Comic-Con last year and knew that they worked on the original 'Star Wars', so when this opportunity came up we asked if they could come voice a few characters for us. It was really cool for us; we're hoping it was cool for them."
It's definitely cool for us!
"Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars" premieres July 26 at 9PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.

On which of the new twists will have the most impact on Houseguest survival week after week:
Julie Chen: "I think "Battle of the Block" will have the most impact on a Houseguest's ability to survive. First, those competing in it will literally be fighting for their lives in the game. Second, it will get one of the HOHs (Head of Households) into BIG trouble. Let's just say that if I were HOH, I would nominate two weak players."

On the rooms and design of this season's tree house theme:
"My favorite room in the urban tree house this year is the honeycomb room. It's cozy and secluded. A perfect spot to 'buzz' with your alliance members about your team's strategy. The room has a door you can close for piracy from others. This is key to have in the house if you want to scheme!"

On her most memorable "Big Brother" interview:
"One of my memorable Big Brother interviews was last year with Aaryn. I had to check my feelings and ego at the door and set aside any personal bad feelings I had for her ugly comments. I had to do my job and be fair and straight despite how personally offended I was. It wasn't easy, but it was memorable."
"Big Brother" premieres June 25 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.
