An Hour with Audrey Hepburn at the Ritz, 1964 – An exhibition of photographs by Angela Williams will take place at the Heartbreak Gallery in Marylebone from 28th February to 28th March 2013.
This exhibition of Audrey Hepburn portraits has two stories – the first in 1964 when freelance photographer Angela Williams was given the assignment to photograph Monsieur Pompidou and his wife for a national newspaper. Once in Paris she was told to head up to a suite at the Ritz and photograph the person staying there…and that she had one hour only.
The second story almost fifty years later when Angela Williams unearthed photographic portraits taken earlier in her career . Amongst the rock stars (a very young Pink Floyd), Hollywood royalty (the Fonda siblings, a young Barbra Streisand, Anthony Perkins, Paul Newman ) and 'It girls' of the day Marianne Faithfull and Cathy McGowan, was Audrey Hepburn.
The photography film roll has been treated and the restored but the images remain the same. In just one hour with this iconic actress and humanitarian, Angela captured her timeless style and beauty in this stunning collection of portraits. She wore Givenchy… reveals the very essence of Audrey Hepburn and her star qualities.

Table Talk
|In 1968, in a windowless cinderblock dressing room of a small college theater on Philadelphias Main Line, I saw Sid Caesar in his skivvies and full-calf black socks, listing on one leg while he tried to smooth his hose. Two handlers stood by. The occasion was the opening of a new theater at St. Josephs College, where I went to school and sometimes earned money crewing for events.
It was no small thing, seeing in the flesh the man Id known from 1950s television. I loved Your Show of Shows and, later, Caesars Hour. One of his best routines was playing the dizzy, disheveled Professor Von Houdinoff, expert on magicians, who always wore a mashed top hat and held a chewed up cigar butt. The skits with his partner, the great horsey-faced comedienne Imogene Coca, were so funny and inventive that I fed off them for days. The shows were live, so you never knew what might happen. The scripts were worked out enough to seem stable, but the medium itself made them combustible. As a comic presence, he was my long-suffering Dauphin of Heebie-Jeebies, his body a wincing, slightly aggrieved shape of energy. Then there was his laugh. No great comic has a straightforward laugh. (Think of Art Carney, Milton Berle, Richard Pryor, Bill Murray.) Sid Caesars was squirmy, fragile, and hilariously pitiable. Television had made him one of the richest men in show business; by the age of thirty he was earning a million a year.
So why was this brilliant entertainer performing in such a punk venue? At first I hardly recognized him. His skin sagged and was so thinned out that the face looked inadequately glued to the bones. In 1982, when he published his autobiography, Where Have I Been, I learned that the Philadelphia gig happened during his lost years. He was by then so far gone on Equanil and Seconal (in the A.M.) and booze (from noon on) that he was drunk or stoned practically all day every day. The serious drinking started when Caesars Hour was canceled in 1958. He hit bottom in 1978 and decided to dry out. So he went to Canada. Finally clean and sober, he couldnt remember much of what had happened. Big chunks of time, years on end, were erased. Once in a while a fact would float by. About going to Australia in 1975 to do a movie called Barnaby and Me, he said: I dont remember anything about the trip or picture. I lost a whole continent.
Memory is so opportunistic. Sid Caesar was just a hoot and a dream image when I was a kid, but over the years he somehow became in my imagination an all-purpose image of comedic play, homo ludens American-style, pinched by self-consciousness. Balancing on one leg in that dressing room, he was someone else. Seeing him in the flesh, I lost him, lost at least my mental image. Irrational and self-serving as it was, I felt a vague betrayal, not just of my own good faith but of all that is comic. I didnt know that while I was watching him he was unconscious, which may have been a cockeyed blessing, since he wouldnt remember the humiliation or the pain of falling out of time. In his sense of things, he wasnt even there.

Shapps launches bid to turn Britain into nation of self-builders
A package of measures to give as many people as possible the opportunity to build their own homes has been launched by housing minister Grant Shapps – amid the astonishing claim that 14,000 people a year are already self-building.
If correct, the number puts the achievements of Britain's biggest builders well and truly in the shade: last year, Barratt could only manage 11,171 homes, whilst Taylor Wimpey built 10,180.
Shapps also claimed that a budget of £150,000 would be enough to self-build a three to four-bedroom home.
He was joined at the launch at 10 Downing Street by self-build experts including Kevin McCloud.
Shapps said new measures would, for the first time, enable anyone wanting to don a hard hat and build their own home to get the help, advice and support they need to get started.
He said: "Last year, self-builders accounted for about 14,000 new homes in this country – more than many large commercial builders.
"Yet our self-build industry still lags behind much of the rest of the world, with the opportunity to build your own home seen as something only for a select few.
"That's why today I'm pledging to back the self-build boom and support the industry to double in size over the next few years.
"As well as a new website giving help and advice, we're working hard to identify more land for development and have reformed the planning rules to stop people's aspirations getting tangled in red tape.
"This package of measures is designed to ensure anyone looking to build their own home gets the support they need – and with the numbers of mortgages available set to rise by a massive 141%, there's never been a better time for people to lay their own foundations."
Ted Stevens, chairman of the National Self Build Association, said: "More than half the UK population would like to one day build their own homes, and around two million families are keen to get their projects off the ground in the very near future.
"The new self-build portal will help them figure out what, realistically, they can afford to build; it will explain how their budgets can go further if they team up with other would-be self builders or do a portion of the work themselves, and it highlights the parts of the UK where it can be cheaper to find a site and construct a home."
Kevin McCloud, whose 'Grand Designs' programme regularly features self-build projects that have gone way over budget, said: "I believe we can become a nation of self-builders."
The claim that there will be a 141% rise in self-build mortgages was made in a Datamonitor report in January. However, the report also says that self-build mortgages would only account for 1% of all lending even after such growth.

LAS VEGAS - Social media websites
are everywhere, and some people are addicted. Pamela Richardson is one of them.
She says Facebook games are her weakness. She says she spends at least 10 hours
a day on Facebook.
"At six o'clock in the
morning, that is the first thing I do is check my farm, my messages, and I
start playing," she said.
Playing these games
requires a lot of friends. Richardson
admits she will befriend folks on Facebook she's never met before just to keep
playing the game.
One of these random
friend requests nearly ruined her entire Facebook experience. The person's name
was Dorothy Linda.
Linda was quiet at first,
but she soon struck up a conversation with Richardson.
"She sent me a chat, and
she goes, 'How was your night?' I am like, 'Good.' Then, she proceeded to tell
me she's a Facebook agent," Richardson
Linda was a Facebook
agent with amazing news: Richardson
won a lottery worth $500 million. Richardson
knew it was a scam. That wasn't the problem. The problem was Linda wouldn't
leave her alone and kept pestering her for personal information.
"I did not know how to
make it stop," Richardson
8 on Your Side stepped
in and taught her. Blocking someone is easy. Go to your privacy settings, click the 'blocking'
tab, type in the name of the person you wish to block and select 'block'.
Reporting scammers to Facebook
is also easy. Click on your settings tab, select 'help' and report them. When
you do, Facebook quickly deletes the user.
"She's no longer on Facebook,"
Richardson said
of Linda.
The spamming and
scamming is finally over for Richardson. She's back to playing
games with her real friends and offering advice to other Facebook fans.
"Know who your friends
are, or you are going to wind up in this mess and don't believe five hundred million
dollars. Come on now," she said.
If you have a problem you
want investigated, contact 8 on Your Side at 702-650-1907.

Air travel for slaves:The EMD Safety Bracelet
According to a video promoting the so-called EMD Safety Bracelet, all airline passengers would be required to wear it "until they disembark the flight at their destination."
The device, in addition to storing all of your sensitive personal information and tracking you with GPS, would allow someone to activate it remotely and immobilize the wearer for several minutes. This is EMD, or electro-muscular disruption.
And the Department of Homeland Security is interested in buying them.
According to a letter from Paul S. Ruwaldt of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate, the department is interested in using them to control illegal immigrants as well as "prisoner transportation, detainee control and . . . to improve air security, on passenger planes."

ABA Journal Podcast
On-the-go lawyer's guide to keeping fit and healthy (podcast with transcript)
By Stephanie Francis Ward
Mar 4, 2013, 09:30 am CDT
The podcast refers to if we have 10 minutes – but that doesn't take into account the amount of time it takes to get dressed before and cleaned up after. What if we truly have only 15 minutes? Are there any exercises that you might recommend – maybe even without leaving the office?
By Sam on 2013 03 08, 7:48 am CDT
I was wondering the same thing as Sam. If we are going to try and do 10 minutes of exercises here and there throughout the day, it would have to be something that does not necessarily require one to take a shower afterwards or use gym equipment. Any suggestions with those restrictions in mind would be helpful.
By Nancy on 2013 03 08, 9:17 am CDT
While sweating isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's understandable that taking the extra time to change & shower encroaches on time you already don't have. Keep in mind, small soundbites of exercise or activity won't get you ready for the Olympics, but movement is a good thing. And ultimately, 10 push ups, 10 minutes of walking, or 10 body weight squats are better than zero. Here's a few strategies you can employ.
1. Drop down & do 5 push ups on top of every even hour you're at work(8am, 10, 12, 2…), even if from your knees. Most everyone can do 5 knee or military push ups, and this isn't enough work to overheat the body & build up a sweat. Let this be a MWF routine.
2. Do 10 body weight squats on top of each odd hour (9, 11, 1, 3…) you're at work MWF.
3. Try 10 desk dips on top of each even hour Tues & Thurs.
4. Do 5 sit & holds on top of each odd hour T & Th. Squat down into a 90 degree seated position & hold for 10-30 seconds.
5. Try 1-2 x 5-10 minute walk breaks outdoors mid morning & afternoon to stimulate blood flow, catch some sun, & stimulate the creative juices.
6. Straight out of bed in the morning, when you're home from work, or right before you head out the door for the day, consider sweating with this 5 minute body weight workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iw98ctCdek

Bayless boys basketball lost to Brentwood at home last year, and came to the Eagles' home court on Friday with a plan to even the score. They did it convincingly.
"They beat us by one point at our place," Bayless' Munir Hirkic told STLtoday.com. "So we had a bit of a chip on our shoulder and we came out ready to play."
See more photos at Affton Patch Facebook.
STLtoday.com reported on the game at Brentwood, which the Bronchos won, 70-44.
Bayless (8-3) got 20 points from Hirkic and a team-high 26 from Patrick Triplett – 17 in the second half – as it improved to 2-0 in the conference. Brentwood (6-6, 0-1) was led by junior guard Will Erby, who scored 15.
The Bronchos didn't waste any time taking control in the opening minutes. They hit their first three shots for a 6-0 lead, while Brentwood opened the game 0-for-7 from the floor.
Brentwood didn't score until a short jumper from Marc Powells with 3:05 left in the quarter. The Eagles finished the quarter 2-for-10 from the field as Bayless led 14-4 after one.
Hirkic then stepped forward in the second, scoring 11 points, to help the Bronchos take a commanding 35-14 lead at halftime.

Pablo Garza sure knows how to make an entrance.
The lanky featherweight made a statement in his UFC debut at the Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 12 Finale, the first 145-pound fight in UFC history. When grappling expert Fredson Paixão shot in for a takedown, Garza rose up with a ferocious knee that connected with a sickening "thwack" that earned "The Scarecrow" a $30,000 knockout of the night bonus.
Garza returns to the Octagon this Saturday night, April 30, 2011, against flashy Canadian striker Yves Jabouin at UFC 129 in front of 55,000 rabid fans as well as millions of viewers around the world.
The North Dakota native likes his odds.
"Wherever the fight goes, I'll be comfortable. Whether it's stand-up, clinch or grappling, I feel like I can do everything and my record shows that I can do everything. Yves is a really good striker. He's really dynamic. He threw everything at [Mark] Hominick. He threw spinning backfists, spinning heel kicks. He threw a couple spinning elbows and he not only did that against Hominick but he's done that before in his previous fights. I do respect him as a striker and a fighter so it's going to be an exciting fight."
Garza took a unique path to becoming a UFC fighter and is still new to the sport.
While most MMA fighters have a significant base in some form of martial art before they test the waters in mixed martial arts, Garza entered the sport with a clean slate.
"I never wrestled in high school or college or did any kind of martial arts as a kid or anything like that. I ended up about four and a half years ago getting interested in boxing so I went to a boxing gym and after about a month or so of boxing, I met some guys that did MMA and I ended up going with them to a class that they took and I started doing jiu jitsu and Muay Thai. I really liked it a lot and it kind of opened everything up more. I just stuck with it and about six months after training, I had my first fight."
"The Scarecrow" was so eager to test himself that he actually skipped being an amateur fighter altogether, instead electing to go straight to the pros.
"I actually tried doing amateur boxing but I could never get a fight. After a couple times of not getting a fight I just decided I'd have at it and go straight into pros. I talked to some promoters and they gave me a chance and I went in and won my first fight in a minute and a half and won my second fight in like 30 seconds. I kept racking them up that way and I never had any amateur record or anything like that."
The native of North Dakota is proud of where he came from. Training is scarce but Garza believes that his difficult daily commute has only strengthened his resolve to become a better fighter.
"I live 75 miles away from Fargo and I have to travel 150 miles every day just to go train. A lot of people don't realize that. I travel a LOT. I put a lot of miles on my vehicle traveling back and forth to practice. In the winter, North Dakota's known for two things: having really, really bad winters and then having bad floods after winter. Traveling that distance in the winter or in a blizzard with really bad road conditions, it kinda strengthens you mentally. Right now, there's a lot of flooding going on so the interstates that I take to practice are closed. There's detours that I have to take and there's nothing but backwoods and wheat fields. It turns a 75 mile trip to about 90 miles. I go through a lot of crap just to get to practice and training."
Garza actually got his first crack at MMA stardom through The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 12 but he was fighting out of his weight class and ran into the buzzsaw that was finalist Michael Johnson in the elimination round to get into the house.
"Michael Johnson made it to the Finale but I believe I gave him a pretty good fight. I had a pretty tight kimura that I should have finished in the first round but I just couldn't finish it. What a lot of people also don't realize is that I went up a weight class to compete on The Ultimate Fighter at 155. I felt like going up and fighting against Michael Johnson the way I did, I felt like I showed them I can compete and that I can especially compete at my own weight class of 145 so I'm glad they gave me a second chance on that."
While Garza didn't make the cut for TUF, he certainly made an impression on the UFC brass. After winning two fights back home, "The Scarecrow" got the call to step up and fight Chinese standout Zhang Tie Quan at WEC 51 on just five days notice. Despite having fought 18 days earlier, he stepped up and took on "The Mongolian Wolf" outside of his weight class again. Garza would go on to suffer the only loss of his career but the UFC typically rewards those who do them a favor and it wasn't long before they came calling again.
"The UFC took care of me," said Garza gratefully. "They called me back. I was worried that I wasn't gonna get a call back because my performance wasn't good. I was disappointed in myself. When they called me up to fight Paixão, they gave me three months notice and I went through a really good training camp. I really wanted to show them what I could do. I felt I could have shown more on The Ultimate Fighter and in the Tie Quan fight so when they gave me that opportunity, I made sure to capitalize on it."
Boy did he.
At 6'1'', Garza is one of the tallest featherweights in the world. He was mostly known as a ground fighter before the insane Paixão knockout and he took a lot away from his highlight-reel finish.
"It kinda gives me motivation. It let me realize that I have that knockout power. It definitely makes me confident in my stand-up even more than I already was. I was really excited when it happened just like anybody else would be. I paid off a lot of bills with that bonus."
Before I let him go, Pablo wanted to give a quick shout out to his sponsors and his gym.
"I'd like to give a shout out to Revgear for sponsoring me. This is the first time they sponsored me and I just wanted to make sure to show them how good their investment was. Shout out to Hayabusa and Red Pepper. Red Pepper is a local restaurant that's been sponsoring me since way before the UFC so they deserve it. My gym in Fargo is the Academy of Combat Arts. "

Universal Pictures Launches Emerging Writers Fellowship to Find New, Diverse Screenwriters
Just a few weeks ago, Warner Bros. announced its partnership with The Black List to find emerging, diverse screenwriters and offer them two-step WGA deals. Looks like finding emerging, diverse screenwriters is now emerging as a trend. Universal Pictures has announced its Emerging Writers Fellowship in the hopes of finding talented new screenwriters who don't currently have access to the industry. Applications for this new fellowship open Sept. 3. For more details about this fellowship, and what qualifies as "diverse", hit the jump. More »

For over 15 years, my life has been one of emotional upheaval and it has been pretty constant. I mean, there have been quiet periods, moments (when considering the vast span of Time itself) of peace and calm. Looking back, though, I realize those calm moments were just the eyes of multiple storms. Imagine me in a sailboat, bobbing in an endless ocean, then picture a map with National Hurricane Center storm symbols lined up, ready to batter me, with warning cones showing the storms vying for my GPS location. Now, imagine that my storm season has lasted for about 15 years and you get the idea. A storm of emotional upset and drama passes over me, then there is a calm eye, then the backside of the storm passes over and the carnage finishes. I clean up my wrung-out spirit only to look at the horizon and the storm clouds that are building again.
I'm a very simple creature. I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch. I stick to a daily schedule. I wear lots of purple. I check the same web sites. I read my favorite books at least once a year and stick to my favorite authors and genres. Deodorant is the first thing applied after a shower. I drink coffee with three Splendas. Yeah, I'll admit it, I'm a little bit Rain Man. Don't worry though, I'm not so OCD that I won't try new things, but it takes a lot of liking to add the newness to my routine.
Along with being a simple creature who loves routine I'm also an introvert. I need that time and space to myself, to hear my inner voice. My inner voice is a logical, witty, sweet girl who gets really upset when there's emotional upheaval and too much newness. Let's just say that for the last 15 years, my inner voice has been very confused, sad, and a little bit angry.
I haven't spoken to my mother in over two weeks. She hasn't voluntarily spoken to me in over a month. I called her three times, to make sure she was OK, to try to initiate conversation, to try to draw her out, but every time I am met with one-word answers and a definite chill in the air between us. For the last two weeks, I have let it go. I have embraced my ordered, quiet life. There have been no unannounced visits, no in-the-middle-of-homework meandering phone calls, no lambasting of my dead-these-15-years saint of a father, no rehashing of hurts that should have long ago been healed by time. I have lowered the sails, put down the oars, and decided to drift and see where the ocean will take me.
It has brought me here.
I know there will be storms in the future. Life's forecast is never for endless highs of 78, low humidity, light clouds, and calm seas. The storms will still come. But they aren't lining up to perpetually batter me because I've let go of the part of me that always needs to please one other, make happy one other, satisfy one other.
Now, it's me, my husband, my children, my family, my friends, and my inner contentment.
I am at peace.

News: Rihanna Escapes "Chaotic Life" With MLB Boyfriend, "I'm So Happy"
Wednesday, Jun 9, 2010 5:35PM
Grammy-winning singer Rihanna speaks on her new romance with boyfriend/baseball star Matt Kemp in the new issue of ELLE.
Rihanna also opens up about the domestic violence incident with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
"I have a boyfriend. I'm so happy. I feel really comfortable, and it's so easy," Rihanna gushes in the latest issue of Elle magazine. "I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family ... A year ago, I was very confused. Because he was my best friend. All of a sudden, one night changed our whole lives -- not only our friendship, but our lives. I wanted to wake up one day and just not have that pain anymore. I wanted to be with him again or get over him -- it was either-or. I just didn't want to feel the pain, the confusion." (MTV)
Speaking to television personality Ryan Seacrest earlier this year, RiRi confirmed having a new love.
"He's my boyfriend," Rihanna revealed when asked about her relationship with the Los Angeles Dodger player. "It's new and it's fun. And it's nothing too serious, I don't want anything that's gonna take up so much of my energy and my time in a bad way, I just want to have fun and that's what it's about." ("On Air With Ryan")
Rumors of their romance made headlines in early January.
Matt Kemp was spotted at Rihanna's New Year's Eve performance in Dubai, and then photos confirmed the couple was in Mexico together shortly after that. Matt sure is grabbing a handful of RiRi in the pic above. But who is this guy? If you're a baseball fan, then you probably know a bit about Matt, who is the LA Dodgers' sexiest center fielder. But for those of us who don't count baseball as our favorite pastime, find out a few facts about the 25-year-old slugger after the jump. (The Frisky)
Speaking with reporter Diane Sawyer last year, RiRi broke down how her February 2009 fight with Brown allegedly was sparked from a text message.
According to Rihanna, the fight started as they were driving away from a pre-Grammy Awards party and Brown received a text message from another woman. "I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn't tell the truth. And I wouldn't drop it," the singer told Diane Sawyer. "I couldn't take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it. It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly." (New York Daily News)

Two nearly simultaneous traffic stops resulted in four drug arrests in Covington County Tuesday.
According to a news release from the Covington County District Attorney's Office, drug task force agents stopped Opp resident Geoffrey Kyle Flagg, 39, on 10th Street in Opp after receiving a report that he had stolen narcotics.
Agents reportedly found methamphetamine, syringes, lithium batteries, muriatic acid and Draino during the traffic stop.
Flagg was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond was set at $300,000.
Shortly after his arrest, agents made a traffic stop on the MLK Expressway in Andalusia.
Agents reportedly saw two boxes of pseudoephedrine in plain view. Authorities say the driver of the vehicle, Thomas Allen Green, 18, told agents they had bought the pseudoephedrine from WalMart and were on their way to cook methamphetamine with it.
Agents reportedly found methamphetamine in the vehicle.
Green, Michael Romeo King, 19, and Matthew Aaron Kimmons, 18, were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. They are each being held on $300,000.

As I boarded the plane in Memphis late Friday night, a million images ran through my mind:
- Children in flood displacement shelters smiling while munching on chili dogs
- Puppies, separated from their mother by the flood, waiting for homes at the local shelter
- A young, beautiful boy singing his heart out at the children's hospital
I went to Memphis with Disney TV star Orlando Brown, our American Humane Association National Ambassador, on a Hope Tour to aid flood recovery in Memphis.
The Memphis Hope Tour was a celebration of the children and the animals of Memphis, a proud city with a rich history deeply rooted in its geography on the Mississippi River.
No one is ever ready for a natural disaster, but when the waters of that big river rose, so did the people of Memphis. They stood up and reached out to provide for their neighbors and their animals.
Compassion, caring and hope — isn't this what America is all about?
It's what American Humane Association is all about. On May 3, our Red Star Animal Emergency Services™ team deployed to Memphis and stayed there for weeks, rescuing and sheltering hundreds of desperate animal victims until they could be reunited with their families.
Now, the floodwaters are receding, but our work is just beginning. Children and animals suffer from stress in times of crisis, and we're determined to help them through it.
During our trip, Orlando and I saw a 5-week-old baby girl at a church shelter — the youngest child to lose her home to the Memphis floods — who has now spent over half of her life in a displacement shelter. We met a boy who hadn't smiled since the floods had arrived. Before we left, I heard him laughing with Orlando.
Along with our hope for the future, we brought a list of 10 tips to keep children and animals safe after a disaster. We visited Shelby County Emergency Management and the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County to express our gratitude and to deliver additional financial support.
At American Humane Association, we stand ready to help Memphis and other disaster-affected communities — every day, everywhere.
"Walking in Memphis" wouldn't be complete without a visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, which was spared flood damage and is open for visits. It was fun to explore the King's legendary lifestyle, but also to learn about his commitment to children and animals. In fact, an entire wall displays Elvis' charitable contributions, many to animal and children's organizations.
SiriusXM's Elvis Radio welcomed Orlando for an on-air interview, in which he shared his personal passion for protecting children and animals, and for building a humane and compassionate America.
As the plane landed in my hometown, I was truly grateful to be coming home to my children and my animals. This weekend, I'll tell them the stories of the kids in the flood shelters and share the photos of the Red Star Rescue Rig and the adorable puppies rescued and waiting for adoption.
My children will ask, "Why didn't you bring a puppy home?" And I'll respond, "The puppies will all find loving homes in Memphis, a city where compassion knows no boundaries."
Join American Humane Association and show the people of Memphis that your compassion also knows no boundaries.

Two ballclubs in San Jose if/when the A's move?
There's a suggestion in this Ballpark Digest article about SJ Muni stadium that the SJ Giants might stay there even if the A's move. Is that just crazy talk? I've never seen that suggested before, and given the other places (Sonoma, Tri-Valley) in the Bay Area that would be great places for an A ball team, the suggestion seems odd.

I found this little gem at Ulta while I was visiting in the States in December. I had always wanted to try the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils and decided to go ahead and purchase the set. The Smoked 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set comes with 6 liners, and retailed for $35.00. These are not full size liners in the set, rather travel size (0.8g). I personally don't mind, and think it's great value nonetheless.
Forget everything you thought you knew about creating super-sexy eyes. This set takes smoky WAY beyond basic black. -Urban Decay
- Uzi (back by popular demand) – a gunmetal grey with tiny shimmers.
- Zero (best seller) – Urban Decay's famous matte black eyeliner.
- Demolition (best seller) – a deep matte brown.
- Smog (NEW) – a shimmery bronze.
- Empire (back by popular demand) – a dark plum with slight shimmers.
- Mainline (NEW) – a beautiful rich matte teal.
These liners are correctly named as they glide effortlessly along the waterline and upper lash line. They don't tug on your eyes, and have a rich, creamy, and pigmented texture which makes application a breeze. These eyeliners also set, so you can use them as bases for your eye shadows to create beautiful and colourful smokey eyes. I personally like every liner in this set, I think they picked a good combination of colours. I'm happy to see that they included different finishes in the set, some are matte where as some have shimmer. They definitely found a good balance, and I would recommend this to anyone who's wanting to try out the 24/7 liners, and get a bunch of colours for a good price. Right on, Urban Decay! You know I will be getting a lot of use out of these!

(Press Release) - Average retail gasoline prices in Wisconsin have not
moved in the past week, averaging
$3.62/g Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 3,112 gas outlets in
This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.3 cents
per gallon in the last week to $3.59/g, according to gasoline price website
Including the change in gas prices in Wisconsin during
the past week, prices yesterday were 29.7 cents per gallon lower than the same
day one year ago and are 4.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The
national average has not moved during
the last month and stands 22.3 cents per gallon lower than this day one year
"Gas price limbo has continued for another week,
with average prices across the United States virtually the same as they were a
month ago," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
"Opening week for football certainly brought more excitement than we've
seen at the gas pump lately, but one thing is for sure- with gas prices
averaging 22-cents per gallon lower than last year, there's a lot of extra hot
dogs and beer that can be consumed instead of being redirected into the tanks
of American motorists. While the situation in Syria bears further monitoring,
and hurricane season remains on the radar, we've still seen prices continue to
hold level. In fact, the cumulative yearly average for a gallon of gas stands
at $3.57/gal, compared to one year ago when it was $3.62/gal, so while
motorists feel this has been a bad year for gas prices, it hasn't been as
painful as 2012," DeHaan said.

well ive been dieting for 3 months, and lost 12 lbs with no noticable muscle loss. also doing 3-4 days cardio, 3 days weights.
im 180 5'9.5 now, but for 5 days a week i was eating 1800-1900 cals and on the weekends i up my cals to try to kickstart my metabolism again. problem is now im at a total standstill. i dont want to drop any more cals, nor do i want to do any more cardio.
i know those cals are wayy below my BMR. should up my cals again, and how much for how long in order to start the fat loss process again? only would like to lose another 5-7 lbs.
my breakdown was like 45-30-25. thanks!
heavy metal music is destroying my brain
I'd take a bit of a break and get back up to maintenance (or a little higher) for a while, then start again.

Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
Your leptin levels have crashed. You need to eat about 20% above maintenence for 5 days or so (high carb, low fat), then incorporate regular refeeds into your diet.Originally posted by johnny123

My 2.5 year old 17" Powerbook just had its screen replaced under Applecare. It seems brighter than the old one. I would imagine it is a newer screen because the old ones are no longer in production. How can I find out the specs of my new screen?

Pictures released by investigators showed a man with dark hair, wearing a red hat, gray jacket, white shirt and an American flag bandana on his face, pointing a silver handgun at a teller.
Anyone with information about the robbery was asked to call Greenwood County Crime Stoppers at 864-942-8727.

Because I'm that awesome.
The Red Sox are down 0-6, but that's not exactly a huge deal. Some people are treating it like the end of the world. They act like a 6 game losing streak has never happened before. Last year's Giants pulled off an upset, and had a 7 game losing streak in the heat of a division title race.
Now it's time to ask yourself...
What would Brian Boitano do?

March 11-12: The Center of Ancient China
We begin in Xi'an, as China did in many ways. Originally known as Chang'an, this was one of the country's historic capitals, the eastern terminus of the famed Silk Road, and the seat of China's first imperial dynasty, the Qin.
The infamous Qin emperor, Shi Huangdi, left an indelible mark on China and this city, despite living more than 2200 years ago. He was the first emperor to unify China and he is credited with the founding of the Great Wall, which we will visit later in the trip. He is most closely associated, though, with his mausoleum.
Despite being the most powerful man in China for the majority of his life, Qin Shi Huangdi lived in fear. His inevitable death haunted him and he devoted his vast resources to quixotic attempts to defy his own mortality. Sadly, none of the magical elixirs had any effect, and with each successive failure the emperor's anxiety grew. Ultimately, he commissioned an unprecedented project, ordering the construction of a mausoleum larger than any city in the world. The mausoleum would house a terracotta army, which would serve Qin Shi Huangdi in the afterlife, protecting him from evil spirits. While the emperor didn't survive, the army did, and it remains one of the highlights of any visit to China.
Xi'an's greatness, of course, did not end with the short-lived Qin Dynasty's fall. It remained a center of Chinese culture and an economic hub for more than a millennium, only gradually fading from significance as Chinese power shifted to the eastern coast. That historic importance is visible in two major landmarks in the city center. First, Xi'an is blessed to preserve its city walls, which date to the Ming Dynasty. While most historic town walls were torn down in the rush to modernization, these impressive fortifications rise to 40 feet above the city center. We'll rent bikes and pedal leisurely along the walls, completing the full 8.5-mile loop while enjoying stunning views. Second, Xi'an's link to the Silk Road is evident in its Great Mosque, the oldest mosque surviving anywhere in China. It's a magnificent structure and the walk to it is equally memorable, following twisting alleyways lined with merchant stands.
Over our next three stops, our focus will shift to where China is headed. We begin, though, with where China has been.
Accommodation in Xi'an: TBA

Despite deficit, B-Sens don't quit
10/6/2013 (Updated 10:55:07 PM)The Binghamton Senators found themselves in a tough 3-1 hole in the 3rd period. But for a team with a chip on their shoulder after an early playoff exit last season, the B-Sens were not going away easily.
It was two early third period goals by Corey Cowick and Mika Zibanejad that brought some buzz back to the Arena. The B-Sens erased the two goal deficit to force overtime, where it was the young Cody Ceci who only played three regular season and three playoff games last season, who sent the Sens fans home happy with an overtime winner.
It's very easy for a team to head into the locker room down by two and call it quits, but as Ceci and head coach Luke Richardson said, it takes a certain level of talent to not give up and complete the comeback.

Disaster management preparedness: A plan for action
S.K. Dheri
Chief Fire Officer, Delhi Fire Service
Risk in urban areas
The dynamics of change in urban settlements due to large scale migration has led to the evolution of high-rise structures, mixed land use, high population density, growth of cottage ad hazardous industries, cross country gas pipelines, bulk oil storage tank farms and thermal power stations. These increase losses during disasters. The recent earthquake in turkey caused rippling of electric poles. Collapse of buildings, refinery fires, and blocked roads of so that rescue teams from Switzerland, U.S.A Greece and Germany struggled to reach victims. More than 10,000 died. The situation would be the same in developing countries unless loss patterns are controlled through co-ordinated disaster management plans.
Concept of mitigation
Mitigation embraces all measures taken to reduce both the effect of the hazard itself and the vulnerable conditions to it, in order to reduce the scale of a future disaster and its impacts. Mitigation also includes measures aimed at reducing physical, economic and social vulnerability. Therefore mitigation may incorporate addressing community-related issued such as land ownership distribution, etc. Depending on their purpose, mitigation measures can be categorized as being 'structural' or non-structural.
Active preparedness measures
Both structural or non-structural mitigation measures may be termed either 'passive' or 'active'. Active measures are those which rely on providing incentives for disaster reduction. They are often more effective than passive measures which are based on laws and controls. For example, while codes and land use planning may provide a legal context for mitigation, they are ineffective unless rigorously enforced. Instead, measures which provide incentives such as government grants or subsidies, lessening of insurance premiums for safer construction and provision of government technical advice are more effective.
Preparedness efforts
Structural mitigation measures relate to those activities and decision making systems which provide the context within which disaster management and planning operates and is organised. They include measures such as preparation of preparedness plans, training and education, public education, evacuation planning, institution building, warning systems, and land use planning.
Disaster response
Coping with the effects of natural disasters is called Post Disaster Management. It deals with problems concerning law and order, evacuation and warnings, communications, search and rescue, fire-fighting, medical and psychiatric assistance, provision of relief and sheltering, etc. Once the initial trauma of the natural disaster is over, the phase of reconstruction and economic rehabilitation is taken up by the people themselves and by the government authorities. Thereafter, the occurrence of the disaster is relegated to historic memory until the next one occurs.
Preparedness plans the foremost step
The existence of a disaster-preparedness plan is blessing. Distraught officials have at hand, a set of instruction they can follow to issue direction tot heir subordinates and affected people. This speeds up the rescue and relief operations and boosts the morale of victims. Disaster plans are also useful pre-disaster operations, when warnings have been issued. Time, which might otherwise be lost in consultations with senior officers and getting formal approval, is saved.
Response plans are formulated by different agencies that need to co-ordinate during emergencies. For example, the electricity supplying authority would be responsible for preparing an action plan, which would be used following a disaster event to restore full services quickly. The contingency Action Plan (CAP) already exists at the national level that lists out in detail the actions to be taken at various levels of government at the time of calamity. There is, however, a need to carry out a comprehensive revision of CAP followed by clear cut operational guidelines. Recently, a high power committee has been established to prepare a disaster management plant ad Central/State and district levels.
National policy
The Natural Disaster Management Division in the department of agriculture and co-operation. Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India deals with the post disaster relief operations. a contingency plan has been prepared for dealing with the natural calamities as a part of the national policy for the subject. The important issued of the contingency plans are:
Types of Calamity
Natural Calamities, as contained in the plan, have been broadly grouped into major and minor types depending upon their potential to cause damage to human life and property. Earthquakes, droughts, floods, and cyclones have been identified as major type of while hailstorms, avalanches, landslides, fire accidents, etc. whose impact is localized and intensity of the damage being much less are categorized as minor calamities.
Role of the Central Government
In the federal set up of India, the responsibility to formulate the Government's response to a natural calamity major or minor is essentially that of the State Government concerned. The Center, however, supplements, to the extent possible, these efforts by way of providing financial and material assistance for effective management of the situation in accordance with the existing scheme of finance and relief expenditure depending upon the gravity of the calamity.

Smartphones and, more recently, tablets are increasingly becoming the computer of choice for more and more people, leaving software developers used to PC-sized application interfaces to grapple with a whole new outlook. While many developers already have made the transition, others need to get with the program.
Despite the attention paid to mobile development in the last two years, a lot of developers still lack the basics when it comes to building mobile applications, says Anthony Fabbricino, developer marketing manager for Forum Nokia. Many developers are just used to the desktop, he explains: "There, they have a lot of screen."
[ Get up to speed on mobile app development with InfoWorld's how-to guides: Dori Smith's mobile-friendly HTML tips, Neil McAllister's mobile website UI tips, and Peter Wayner's survey of mobile app dev options. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Even if it may be easy to make an application, it's hard to construct a "good experience," Fabbricino adds. Indeed, the emergence of mobile devices and their smaller screens means some serious adjustments in perspective. Instead of building for 8-by-13-inch or larger PC screens, developers could be dealing with a 2-by-2-inch Android, iPhone, or BlackBerry screen. "What we find, especially in the smartphone world, is because of the screen size constraint, every pixel counts to some degree," says Tyler Lessard, vice president of BlackBerry global alliances and developer relations at Research in Motion.
Even the iPad's larger screen, which measures 7.3 by 9.5 inches, need to be considered differently because its 1,024-by-768-pixel resolution is still less than that of most desktop monitors. Developers must also make accommodations for smaller keyboards, touch interfaces, and battery usage.
Experts in the mobile arena, including vendors and developers, have advice for developers navigating this new realm of computing, covering aspects ranging from navigation to screen size to memory consumption. Mobile developers -- especially new ones -- should pay special attention to these eight lessons.

Breezy and warm weather will continue into Sunday. I expect a few more clouds around. Highs in the middle 80s. This is about 5 degrees above normal for this time of year.
An area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico will increase our cloud cover by Monday. A few showers or sprinkles are possible, but most areas will remain dry. The highest rain chances are in east and southeast Mississippi, but even there they are only around 30%.
Highs on Monday and Tuesday will be near 80.

Security experts say 2013 could be a bad year for your smart phone.
They predict that smart phones will be a major target for cyber criminals.
The main reason is that more smart phones are being used as "virtual wallets."
So, mobile payment systems are a tempting target for hackers.
Thieves can also use your smart phone to connect to other devices.
So what can you do?
The experts say don't get careless.
Make sure your phone is protected by a password.
And don't buy things over a public WiFi connection.

On February 28, 2013, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) to provide interested parties with the opportunity to comment on two new Categorical Exclusions (CEs) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The new CEs are proposed as required by the October 1, 2012 transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) (Pub. L. No. 112-141) (to be codified at 42 U.S.C. § 4332(a)). Projects that qualify for a CE are excluded from NEPA's requirement to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS). As required by MAP-21, the NPR proposes CEs for highway and transit projects that:
1.Occur within an existing operational right-of-way; or
2.Receive less than 5 million dollars of federal funds, or, where the total project cost is less than 30 million dollars, receive federal funds for less than 15 percent of the total project cost.

Twycross Zoo: 'Bonobo mum and baby are doing well'
– Dr. Charlotte Macdonald, Curator of Living Collections at Twycross Zoo
Both mum and baby are doing very well. Banya is quite relaxed with the baby and seems confident in her mothering skills, and this has given her keepers an opportunity to get a close look at the baby and confirm that it is a boy.
Banya is an integral part of our bonobo group and this applies to her son as well. The other bonobos are interested in him but at this point only Banya will carry him. He will remain in close proximity to his mum for the new fext years.

It is not everyday a couple of celebrities walk into a Central Virginia classroom.
However, a couple of Harlem Globetrotters walked into the Delmont Learning Center with a purpose, and this time, it was not about defeating their opponent by using fancy footwork on the basketball court.
"Right now, we're going on talking about the ABCs of bullying prevention. What that is; the 'A' stands for action, the 'B' for bravery, and the 'C' for compassion," said Globetrotter Chris "Handles" Franklin.
Everywhere Franklin and his teammate, Anthony "Ant" Atkinson go, they hear stories of some of their youngest fans being bullied.
Stories like the ones of Kniko Parker who says he has been bullied, but never told an adult when it happened, and he does not know why.
"I just don't know. I get mad easily," said Parker.
The Globetrotters' program helps Kniko learn to not simply get mad, but to take action by telling someone what happened, and to be strong and remain confident in himself.
During the program, Franklin and Atkinson had the students stand up and shout "I'm the best". Eventually, the students tried to prove that they were the best by challenging the Globetrotters, hoping to beat them at their own game.
The students had to be quick, and they cheered each other on, even when some of their classmates dropped the ball.
They learned a lesson about supporting each other, no matter what, and more importantly, they learned that bullying never cool - on or off the court.
If you want to see the Harlem Globetrotters' smooth moves, mark your calendar for Monday, December 31st. This is the day the team will play at the Richmond Coliseum.

Project Specific, DRM-Free, Directly to Your Audience: Why VHX Could Be Your Next Distribution Platform
Slowly but surely outlets for online media distribution are blossoming — with some major players finally rolling out monetization options and others already in place. We're starting to not only have the ability to self-distribute, but also pick what's best for us from among some healthy competition. One of the more recent developments in pro-creator content delivery systems (that's PCCDSs — can that be a thing from now on?) is VHX distribution, not to be confused with VHS distribution, which is completely different. VHX originally began as a video sharing social media platform, which is very functional but still largely in its infancy. In addition to this service, however, VHX has already proven its potential for media monetization with its first two web releases — both tailor-made for the client and DRM-free. Click through for the full low-down.
To be totally caught up with VHX's current phase, one must understand their original venture, illustrated well by this promo video:
VHX's community-based service isn't a content-hosting one in and of itself (again, that's the community-based service). Instead, it's a way to find and share videos with friends and subscribers within its own interface, or back and forth between all your favorite social media sites. Its interface is novel in that it's just plain more like the TV — once you log in, video starts playing immediately, with consecutive clips automatically queued to play after. TechCrunch said that "the experience of watching videos [with VHX]… is pretty much the closest I've come to a non-fragmented [viewing] experience on the web." You can chose to let it play as its queued in the background of some other activity, or pick and choose clips to whatever degree you see fit.
The development team benefits from the leadership of Know Your Meme and Vimeo alumni (not to mention Boxee and the first web-only Emmy-winner). As of right now, VHX's community supports sharing only for videos sourced from YouTube and Vimeo, but development is ongoing and others will surely follow — not to mention these sites are where plenty of videos live anyway, so it's not such a big deal at the moment. The most major reason we're interested in VHX, though, isn't their video sharing service, it's their video distribution service.
Following the success of projects like Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and the hugely successful DRM-free internet-only debut of comedian Louis C.K.'s Live at the Beacon Theater — which totally eschewed conventional broadcasting as well as TV-safe bets like Hulu or Netflix, was offered directly from C.K. for $5, and turned massive profits — it became clear to forward-thinking content creators that independent internet distribution was a financial viability. Given the direct link from creators to viewers, this model is actually preferable in some ways to traditional distro methods, save for the dollar-value risk inherent to it (Live at the Beacon Theater cost C.K. $200,000 to produce, direct, and custom-build its website).
This is the exact type of distribution VHX wants to offer such creators. Above is a screen-cap from the release site for Indie Game: The Movie, a documentary that premiered at Sundance and marked VHX's second such release. VHX customized both the distribution model and visual design for the filmmakers, offering viewership in DRM-free streaming or download after paying the $10 "ticket price." This is the angle on distribution VHX is taking presently: the site is open to submissions for any specific project desiring its release to be 'powered by' VHX — once enough successful high-quality media has been released in this fashion, VHX plans to expand into an outright distribution platform.
Here's what one of the design team told Gigaom, with the following screen-cap illustrating the current layout (image courtesy Gigaom):
"We put the 'Contact Us' button front and center because it's really about getting in touch with us," co-founder Jamie Wilkinson said via phone. "Long-term, [VHX is] about the democratization of the video distribution process, but for right now we're trying to make sure it's high-quality content we're putting out — working with selected filmmakers so we can give them the white glove treatment they need… Whatever a traditional distributor does, we want to do exactly the opposite."
As the Gigaom article points out, VHX's client-catered and conscientious attitude goes so far as to allow — if not encourage — media to be available on other platforms as well. Indie Game, for instance, is also readily available on Steam and iTunes for the same price listed above. Availability on Steam may not make half as much sense for any of our content, but given that Indie Game is a documentary about independent game development, this exemplifies VHX's present willingness to craft a client's custom distribution campaign back-to-front.
If all of this isn't enough to convince everyone that VHX is serious about their task and savvy with their practice — remember that terrible VHS joke I made at the top of the post? Well, these guys even beat me to that.
What do you guys think about where VHX could go — and the future of DRM-free self-distribution engines/platforms in general? I mean, could it actually be too good to be true? I hope not, but I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts!

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

Another digital distibution platform/service/whatever…(yawn)….okay…for sure…good luck…
trackofalljades on 10.24.12 @ 7:22PM
What are you implying is a superior way to get your work before the eyes of viewers, selling the vast majority of all monetary output generated by your work to a cadre of middlemen and then waiting around for months or years to see if their whims include showing it to anyone? Okay, for sure, good luck.
OkaySure on 10.25.12 @ 6:58AM
You're right…digital rules…youtube, itunes, amazon, etc.,etc.,etc.,…and this new one…(yawn)…I forget the name…but maybe they'll be huge….for sure….good luck.
Mariano on 10.25.12 @ 8:39AM
you`re right in the sense that, so far, no digital distribution plattform turned out to be the holy grail. things like vimeo`s payment system coming in 2013 look very interesting to me. VHX, on the other hand, is totally new to me, let`s see what happens, I hope for the very best, we, as indie film makers could use this very much – but still, I`m highly skeptical.
Hi, I do believe this is an excellent web
site. I stumbledupon it ;) I am going to revisit once again since i
have book marked it. Money and freedom is the best way to
change, may you be rich and continue to help others.
Аt this time іt sounԁs like Drupal is the рreferred blogging platform available right
now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
