Have there been any updates regarding his status for Saturday? Some folks that I have talked to seem to suggest that he will be playing and the reason he has been out for so long is that we wanted to "save him for the OU game," and did not want to risk further injury in a game we can win without him.
I do not know how much stock I put into this assertion, given that throwing a redshirt freshman to a very good Land Thieves defense does not make much sense. I can see us wanting to get some more touches so he can be more comfortable finding holes and what not. Whatever the reasoning is, it has already happened and I am hoping that he is ready to go on Saturday. Anybody heard anything? Thanks. Hook 'em.

General Overview. The jurisdiction follows English Common Law principles and goes proud of its good governance, political and economic stability. Already in the 80th of the XX century, it was the aim of the government to develop the jurisdiction as an attractive centre for offshore banking. There are strong confidentiality provisions in Antigua and Barbuda. The identity of business owners and/or beneficiaries may be disclosed only with the court ordinance when a criminal matter is being under investigation. There are no exchange controls in the jurisdiction.
Trusts. Antigua and Barbuda is a popular destination for creating different types of trusts. An offshore trust does not need to be recorded, but it may be inserted in non-public records with the authorities, and in such a case a relevant certificate is issued. No restriction on accumulations is applied, and there is no rule against perpetuities.
Insurance. In order to conduct an insurance business, it is necessary to obtain a governmental insurance license for it. A fixed capital of USD 250,000 must always be maintained, and an insurance company is liable to submit annual audited statements.
Banking. A number f banks conduct their banking activity from the jurisdiction, offering modern banking services to their international customers. There is a precisely outlined procedure for obtaining a banking license, which is strict, but at the same time convenient in comparison to other offshore jurisdictions. Many international entities choose an offshore bank of Antigua and Barbuda as their banking partner.
Online Gambling. Online gambling companies are regulated by the local authorities, and are liable to pay 3% of tax on their net profit. An applicant must follow a precisely defined procedure, in order to obtain an online gaming license.
Ship Registry. The jurisdiction offers efficient ship registration procedures for competitive prices in comparison to other offshore countries. Different types of vessels may be registered there.

Read Time: 3 minute(s)
Last week, for our lecture on dreams and nightmares in the Hollywood blockbuster, my Cinema History III class screened Back to the Future (1985). As usual, I wore the husband's "Save the Clock Tower" t-shirt.
On Thursday, to accompany our lecture on sound and sound design, my Style and Storytelling in Cinema class watched Singin' in the Rain (1952). Since I know you'll ask: yes, I was beside myself. Yes, I was tapping my feet during "Moses Supposes." Yes, I was swooning while Cyd Charisse slid down my man's leg during the "Broadway Melody" number (I even tweeted about it as she slithered…). And, yes, my students liked it — at least they seemed to; we'll discuss the film in depth next Tuesday, so I'll find out more then.
So that the husband's Back to the Future t-shirt wouldn't feel so alone, I (finally) ordered a Stormtrooper-in-the-Rain tee. You can see it below all Instagram'd up and hanging from the Singin' in the Rain poster that currently adorns my office. (Get your own musical stormtrooper at RedBubble.com!)
Normally, this little blue t-shirt wouldn't pose a problem for me as I'd pair it with a blazer or cardigan and some jeans. But right now, I'm knee-deep in something called Skirt-a-Thon 2012, wherein female academics from all over the country and the UK (hey, Faye!) wear skirts for the entire month of April (well, M-F) and subsequently post their skirting activities online.
Why are people doing this, you ask? Honestly, I dunno. Some of the participants from the South are partial to "the breeze" a skirt allows. Some of them claim the skirt is more comfortable than a pair of jeans or slacks (hogwash!). And some maintain that they just feel more confident before a classroom when they're "all dressed up." All I know is that these PhDs (and almost-PhDs) love them some skirts.
Moreover, I hear some of you asking, why in the world is Kelli Marshall, a person who probably hasn't stepped into a dress/skirt since she married 13 years ago, participating in a skirt-a-thon? Good question, and one that Kelli Marshall is still trying to answer. Maybe she's doing it to feel a part of the club? An excuse to buy new clothes? Peer pressure?
Whatever the true reason (it's the peer pressure and loads of it), I am doing it — at least on the days I teach. No worries, y'all; on MWF, it's all jeans, all the time.
But back to my new stormtrooper shirt…
For expert skirt-a-thoners, like 99% of those with whom I'm participating, pairing this little fella with a skirt is no problem. After all, they've a gaggle to choose from; one 'thoner even counted 27 in her closet. My skirt/dress count before all this business commenced: two. So for novice participants, the task is more difficult — and especially challenging for one who doesn't want to wear or even OWN a pair of tights. (It's still in the 40s up here, folks, and those subway platforms aren't heated.)
After some consultation and nearly an hour of trying on clothes the night before (WTF is wrong with me?!), I finally decided on pairing my little white, plastic Gene Kelly with a black cardigan, a short black skirt, black tights (ugh, ugh, ugh), and Mary Jane's. In my mind, this looked terrible, moronic even. But dammit: I was wearing the shirt, and I'll do so again the next time I teach Singin' in the Rain. To my fellow skirt-a-thoners, however, my outfit "seriously worked," and they couldn't figure out "what I was all worried about."
Ah, there it is. The reason I'm participating in Skirt-a-Thon 2012: a sweet dose of daily affirmation, even if my fellow participants might be lying to me, just a little bit.
For another take on Skirtathon 2012, see Amanda Ann Klein's post here.

APEX — Ron Margiotta came to the Triangle nearly a decade ago to retire, not to become the school board leader of the state's largest school district.
But now Margiotta, 71, finds himself heading a new ruling coalition in Wake County that's already put on the table initial plans to go to neighborhood schools and end mandatory year-round schools. It's a major change for Margiotta, who for the past six years had been the board's lone critic of using forced busing to promote socioeconomic diversity.
"We have an opportunity to make constructive changes," Margiotta said. "Nothing is easy, but it doesn't mean it can't be done."
It's the kind of forceful talk that has helped make Margiotta such a polarizing figure. Conservatives and other critics of the school system hail him as speaking for those who have been ignored.
"He is a person who is in touch with the desires of most parents of Wake County," said Wake County Commissioner Tony Gurley, a frequent critic of the old school board. "He will represent the interests of people who haven't been heard in a long time, parents and taxpayers."
But Margiotta's critics view him as an ideologue who's leading efforts to dismantle a 140,000-student school system that has received national recognition for its diversity efforts. They point to his past public statements in support of ending the magnet school program and breaking up the school district and his leadership role in the Wake County Taxpayers Association, a group that's opposed to raising taxes.
"He has certainly allied himself with groups that don't support what's in the best interests of public education," said Chris Fitzsimon, executive director of N.C. Policy Watch, a liberal think tank.
It wasn't Margiotta's goal to lead a revolution in the Wake school system when he moved from New Jersey to Apex in 2000.
At the time, he and his wife, Lorrayne, just wanted to be near their daughter and young grandson.
Margiotta cleared out a tract on their property, near what's now Beaver Creek Commons shopping center, so he could raise cows. He wanted to make sure he'd have something to do during his retirement.
Drawn into battle
But Margiotta said he soon became caught up in his grandson's student reassignment fight. Like many transplants used to smaller school districts, he questioned why his grandson couldn't just go to the closest school.
Having served as a school board president in New Jersey in the early 1970s, Margiotta decided to try to join the Wake school board to bring about change.
Unlike most North Carolina school boards, those in New Jersey have taxing authority.
New Jersey also has five times as many school districts as North Carolina. School districts in New Jersey are based around individual municipalities, while they're county-based in this state.
Margiotta was rebuffed in 2001 when board members didn't choose him to fill a vacancy among their ranks. But he had the last laugh in 2003 when he defeated at the polls the person who had been selected by the board. Margiotta went on to run unopposed in 2007 in his western Wake district, which includes Apex, Holly Springs and part of Cary.
Over the years, many people have been elected to the school board who advocated neighborhood schools and criticized the diversity policy. But unlike the others, Margiotta didn't waver from his beliefs even when he was often the lone dissenter on issues.
"I always felt it was more important to fight for the things I believe in," Margiotta said. "The others just saw it was easier not to fight and agree."
Margiotta took an active role in this year's school board elections when four of the nine seats were on the ballot. He worked behind the scenes to help recruit and vet candidates. He helped them raise money and gave them advice.
It culminated this fall in an election sweep by the four candidates Margiotta backed.
The new majority moved quickly in their first meeting last week, putting through eight items, starting with Margiotta's election as board chairman. Among the changes approved was ending the weekly Wednesday early dismissals after the end of the school year and immediately halting any work on the Forest Ridge High School site in northeast Raleigh pending a review of other sites.
One of the most sweeping changes was the introduction of revisions to the student assignment policy that would eliminate the current socioeconomic diversity efforts in favor of making neighborhood schools a priority.
After complaints from the board minority, the majority agreed to refer the assignment policy to a board committee.
Full speed ahead
Margiotta hopes that the revisions will be adopted soon, with the first assignment changes going into effect for the 2010-11 school year.
"It's not possible to go to 100 percent neighborhood schools because of where schools are located and capacity," Margiotta said. "But certainly, more thought can be made to have students go to school closer to where they live."
Margiotta also hopes to bring changes for next school year that would end mandatory year-round schools. The board voted last week to have staff survey parents to help determine which year-round schools to convert back to a traditional calendar.
He also wants to see about having two new middle schools and a new elementary school slated to open next year operate either on a traditional calendar or as voluntary year-round schools.
With all the changes he envisions, Margiotta is trying to downplay some concerns raised by critics. He said there are no plans to make major changes in the magnet school program for next year or to pursue splitting up the district.
But the changes already on the table have alarmed people who fear that abandoning the diversity policy will weaken magnet schools and lead to de facto resegregation.
"Ron and the people that have supported them are of an extreme," said Rhonda Curtright, a North Raleigh parent and leader of BiggerPicture4Wake, a parents' group that backed school board candidates who ultimately lost. "A majority of the citizens of Wake County find the school system to be a success."
But Joe Ciulla, a leader of the Wake Schools Community Alliance, a parents' group that backed winning school board candidates, sharply disagreed: "To say that Ron is not a supporter of public education is ridiculous. You'd have to be an irrational person to think he's served on the school board for all these years just to try to undermine public education."
Margiotta intends to make the most of the next two years. He's planning to retire for good to spend more time with his wife of 51 years when his term ends in November 2011.
"I keep hearing people say that it's too hard to change things," Margiotta said, "that the district is too large to make changes. I don't accept that. We're going to put our noses to the grindstone."

You might be shocked to hear that this is not Brittany Ragan's or Tom Clark's full time job, because when the call comes in, you will always find the two dressed to do battle alongside other West Fargo firefighters.
West Fargo police chief Roy Schatschneider says they're lucky to have a number of volunteers at the department, because many rural departments in the area are much less fortunate.
Across the nation, 75% of firefighters are volunteers, and there are only four full-time fire departments in North Dakota, which means that many other departments are in constant need of people who will take the time to volunteer.
Besides the obvious benefit to the community, volunteers say it's a rush you can't get anywhere else. "It's very fulfilling when you leave and realize you're the best part of a bad day for someone," Tom Clark explains.
Because the need for volunteers is so great, there are now commercials running -- thanks to a grant -- in hopes of recruiting more firefighters.
To check out the jobs, we have the link here.

October 2010 #LAFW
This LA Fashion Week (hash-tagged #LAFW to mark fashion's entry into the Twitterverse) was a good season to step back and assess the landscape of LA Fashion Week (and Weekend) productions in Los Angeles. In our own assessment, and in reading the coverage at the Los Angeles Times, Apparel News, Racked LA, Style Section LA, Women's Wear Daily and many more, there were indeed some delightful discoveries in unexpected corners.
Unperturbed this season was LA's can-do spirit, best exemplified by designers Ahn Volcek of L'une Collection, Daisy Gonzalez and Paulina Lopez who found new fashion friends rushing to their aid after World Coast Management canceled its LA Fashion Week event just 48 hours to show time. Organizers of the blogging community Two Point Oh! LA and producers at Fashion Los Angeles jumped in to provide an alternative solution in a lofty downtown space, just days later. This same team will host a pop-up "Meet The Public" shopping gallery next month and series of fashion presentations February 1-7.
For this writer, who has spent at least a decade working on collective platforms and promotions for the fashion industry in LA, it was a mini reunion of sorts with some true industry professionals that proved to be the most fun and inspiring. We didn't just look back, we looked forward. We agreed that with the economy now (somewhat) stabilized, the doors are opening to new opportunities. With the right mix of money, management, endorsements and timing we're certain that more globally relevant Los Angeles fashion events can happen.
LA is home to the largest fashion district in the country. Organizing and fine-tuning its capabilities, promoting its resources and facilitating industry connections to boost business in the region should be a priority for the LA fashion industry's accomplished entrepreneurs. We'll aim to help make that happen. You can too. Share your solutions here.

Bottle says: "Honey ESB"
A - Pours a clear copper-amber with finger of white head. Decent retention; subsides to lacing. Probably the high point of the beer.
S - Smell is ok. Subdued hop aroma which is citrus and herbal. Malt is slightly sweet and caramel. Hint of corn.
T - Taste follows with slightly hoppy and sweet malt. Hint of corn again.
M - Fairly thin, especially when trying to pass as and ESB.
D - Average.

This beer pours a medium copper hue, with a single finger of soapy white head, which leaves thin curtained lace around the glass as it quickly recedes. It smells of caramel and biscuit malt, as well as some sweet herbal hops. The taste is somewhat bitter herbal hops, spiced honey, and mild caramel malt. The carbonation is a bit below average, the body light and crisp, and it finishes off-dry, some sweet honey lingering, along with that herbal essence that I suppose must be the fireweed, whose flavour I was unacquainted with, before now.
A decent pale ale, the extra honey and herbal notes blend well for an enjoyable result.

Hitchiker from Presario, thank you. Some colour, bit of fizzy head. Drinkable though above average carbonation. Some fruit and sweet aroma. An APA base there,there's a reasonable beer trying to come out, and that's what I was after, without the honey additive. Medium mouthfeel.

from notes over the christmas holidays...
A - Clear copper, thin head ended with some random blobs
S - Grainy with subtle honey, leafy and metallic aromas
T - Unique raw honey flavour with grainy and light caramel malt with some leafiness, not quite an ESB in the classic sense but still tasty
M - Light and sweet with enough bitterness to justify the ESB side of the equation
O - Nice to see honey added to something other than brown ale or lager, and it is done with a more raw natural flair here, could easily be a session beer

This beer is a re-release of Yukon's first-ever brand and a tip of the hat to them for making such a nice beer right off the bat.
It poured with a clear copper body full of bubbles and topped by a creamy white head that left sticky lace on my pint glass. The aroma was a pleasing mixture of biscuity malt, floral hops and clover.
Likewise, the taste was nicely balanced. I'm not a fan of many honey-added beers, but it was restrained here. The taste started malty with sweet honey rolling over the tongue, but a bitter finish pushed it aside and kept it from being too sickly-sweet. Add a creamy feel and medium body, and you've got a highly drinkable beer.

Quite clear copper colour, with a foamy white head that is more than two fingers deep. The head is slow to recede and leaves plenty of lacing.
Some honey sweetness and floral hop aromas are notable. The beer is a little too cold at first, but the aromas don't seem to become much more pronounced as it warms.
On the sweeter side of pale ales, with an almost bittersweet finish. Honey is notable but not overdone. Hops give something of a floral impression. Dry finish.
A pretty good mouthfeel here. It has a fair amount of body, and is smooth on the tongue. Comfortable for both quaffing and savouring.
Not bad at all, I'd say it could be something of a session beer. I don't see it making anyone's top ten list, but I also don't see alot of people disliking it.

4.15/5 rDev +17.6%
A- Pours with a thin white head that quickly disappears into a very thin film over the brew. The color is a not 100% clear copper and there seems to be medium carbonation. The lacing is non existent unfortunately so it's not the best looking beer.
S- I agree with some of the other reviewers in that this beer has a caramel aroma. I also smell a floral aroma as well as a dryness that is a combination of earthiness and subtle hops.
T- This is where the beer really stands out! There is a nice balance of sweet toffee flavor like malts (crystal malt?), a drier honey flavor than I'm used to, and the finish is perfectly hopped, producing a clean, bitter finish that lingers on the palate.
M- This is a light bodied beer, with solid carbonation that provides the clean crispness that makes this beer enjoyable. The honey on the palate is much more herbal like and is provides a more astringent mouthfeel than the creaminess that I'm used to having in a honey beer.
D- This is a different honey beer than any other I've tried. I really like this overall and wouldn't have any problems drinking this brew all night...especially as a patio beer during the summer! I think this is a more mature version of the honey beer style and think it is a beer that is classy!

Bottle courtesy of Irondjin: Poured a deep golden and dark honey color ale with a small bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some unrefined grain is more or less pleasant. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt with this unpleasant unrefined grain taste which was not appreciated. Body was fuller then average with some low carbonation.

Pours out with a loose spongy off-white head. The body is a deep clear amber/old copper hue.
Sweet caramel malt blends with herbal hops on the nose, a bit of spice from the honey.
The flavour seems fuller than it is thanks to the smooth beyond medium-bodied mouthfeel. Light toffee malt that develops a spicy sweetness in the middle, and finishes with a dandelion-like character. Carbonation becomes apparent on the finish.
Still a decent pale ale, and pretty solid once all the parts comes together. If anything, Yukon doesn't do anything half-assed.

Appearance - Dark amber color, some lacing.
Smell - Sweet honey smell with a hint of woodiness.

Taste - Slight sweetness at the front of the mouth, fading into a pleasant mild hoppy bitter finish.

Another delicious selection from our Canada Day beer swap!
A - Pours a clear golden brown with a thing layer of head which slowly dissipates with no real lacing.
S - The sweet honey is quite noticeable, with some faint coffee malts and bit of a corn / bready finish.
T - Bready malts come through off the top, the finish is bitter with a fairly dominant honey after-taste. A bit of brown sugar and citrus hops are also noticeable.
M - The one is fairly carbonated, but is nicely balanced. It fills up nicely on the tongue, but does not have a dry finish, which is nice.
D - Pretty tasty indeed. The flavours are wonderful, with a nice balance between sweet and bitter. Would definitely purchase a 6-er of these, and is a flavourful summertime bevy!

Appearance- Pours a clear copper colour with a very thin white head.
Smell- Honey, caramel, hint of vanilla, and grains.
Taste- It starts off with the honey sweetness and finishes with bitter grains. The flavours are well balanced and mild.
Mouthfeel- Light to medium bodied with light carbonation. A little thin but has a nice smooth quality.
Overall- An enjoyable ESB by Yukon. I enjoy their use of local ingredients such as fireweed honey. The sweet honey flavour is well balanced with the bitter qualities of this beer. Would make an excellent summer refresher.

A clear golden amber with plenty of carbonation but only a finger of loose foam that leaves a single partial ring of lace
S a little tea bag with honey and citric hops
T not far from the smell but I get a little more lemon and there's sweetness but its manageable
M rather slick at first then the bubbles fluff it up a bit and give it some life
O drinkable brew but not as nice as some of the offerings from Yukon but I had no issues
not a bad addition to the thirst aid kit but I'd prefer the Lead Dog or Stout in its place, but I understand those beers may be a little frightening for the entry level consumer their trying to target with the mixer

Funky 6-pack packaging. The beer pours a lovely hue of golden, with head enough to satisfy. Looks great. The aroma is filled with fireweed and a lovely mix of subtle hopping with caramel malt. A step above any commercially available "honey lagers". This ain't no Sleemans. Plenty of sweet malting, paired with interesting aromas of subtle syrup, grassy herbs, and a good dose of fiery hopping. Taste really shines through. This is excellent caramel malting, bursting with red-ale sweetness and sugariness paired with just enough fireweed and hops to make for above-par balance. This is above par in every way. Exceptional mouthfeel and drinkability, though a little sweet, is excellent. Again, Yukon does not disappoint. This is some more liquid gold from the Yukon. More? Yes please.

Amerigo comes to K-town
The old West Side Tavern spot next to P.F. Changs restaurant will be bringing an Italian flavor to the area.
Amerigo, an Italian restaurant out of Nashville, plans to open Oct. 10.
David Blackburn, CEO of Vivid Restaurant Concepts, said the company is planning major renovations upwards of $1.3 million. They actually plan to tear part of the building down.
Open for lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers contemporary American, Italian and Mediterranean food. The average dinner check is between $20-$25, Blackburn said.
"We aspire to be the non-chain. Everything is made from scratch, every sauce, every dressing. We want to give our guests a dining experience rather than just good service," Blackburn said.
Blackburn compared the restaurant to a Houston's, J. Alexander and P.F. Chang's in terms of dining experiences.
According to its Web site, specialties include Grilled Portabello Mushroom Salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, Shrimp Scampi in a rich garlic butter sauce as well as a wide variety of Wood-Fired Pizzas. It also serves seafood, pasta, steaks, chicken and veal.
It has locations in Nashville, Brentwood, Memphis and in Jackson, Miss. Another location is under construction in Louisville, Ky. and plans to open in July.

It doesn't seem quite right to be thinking about the snow yet. But if you are a skier and you want to get the best deal this winter, it may be worth planning ahead. Peak weeks are starting to book up, and you might also want to take advantage of one of the early-booking incentives on offer.
This season's timings
The good news for skiers is that the calendar falls very neatly around the key holiday weekend departures. Many resorts will open on either December 8 or 15, which creates two good-value weeks before Christmas. These are highly unlikely to sell out, so, if you are free to travel flexibly and there is some good early snow, keep your eyes open for late offers from tour operators towards the end of November.
Departures for Christmas week are mostly on December 22 and 23, and for New Year on December 29 and 30, and many operators are reporting strong bookings for these dates. The chalet specialist Le Ski, for example, says it has just 32 out of 300 beds still available for Christmas and only 50 for New Year in Courchevel and Val d'Isère. So if you want to travel then, book now.
The first cheap January week will be for departures on January 5 and 6 and all dates during the month are likely to offer a good chance of discounts for late bookers. The busy Russian Christmas week, which affects a few resorts, notably Courchevel, runs from January 12 to 19, however.
There is some rare good news for families this season, too. While most British schools have their half terms between February 9 and 23, French hoteliers tell me that Paris schools are having their break from February 23 to March 2. So the mass influx of French families won't clash with the British this season. This probably won't make prices much lower, but it eases congestion on the slopes and makes it easier to book lessons and so on.
Next year, Easter is at its earliest for five years – on March 31. This is positive news for families as the likelihood of good snow conditions during the Easter school holidays is higher than usual. Either the week before – departing March 23, or the week of Easter itself, departing March 30 – look like good options in the higher resorts. Those not tied to school holidays will, as always, get the best value, the biggest choice of late deals and the best chance of decent snow during January and early March.
What's on offer
If you want to travel at Christmas, New Year or half term, you should book now to secure the flights, accommodation and ski lessons you want.
If you are travelling outside the peak, it is worth looking out for early-booking incentives – especially free, or reduced-price lift passes, many of which now cost nearly £200 for a week in major resorts. I have listed some of the current offers from some leading operators below. You can never be completely sure how good a deal these early offers represent. If bookings are weak or the snow is poor, prices will fall. On the other hand, you will have much more choice of flights and accommodation if you book now rather than leave it until the last moment. Any specific book-by dates are specified, but all offers are subject to change and availability. As the season approaches, keep an eye also on our Deals of the Week page, which lists some of the best offers every Saturday.
Crystal Ski (crystalski.co.uk)
With sister company Thomson Ski (thomsonski.co.uk) these are the two biggest UK operators, and they have a variety of early-booking incentives. Most are limited to weeks outside the school holidays, though free child places are offered throughout the season with no set book-by date, but with limited availability. There are free learn to ski or snowboard offers available in 16 resorts. They include tuition, equipment hire and a lift pass.
Lift pass deals include free passes with packages to Chamrousse and La Clusaz (France); Veysonnaz (Switzerland); and in Canada, free passes for up to three children (aged under 13) per adult booking in Banff and Lake Louise; and two passes for the price of one in Jasper (book by November 15).
Crystal also has "€150 credit" offer to spend in selected French hotels. Book-by dates apply (some by September 30, some November 30).
Erna Low (ernalow.co.uk)
The apartment and self-catering specialist is offering early-booking discounts of five to 20 per cent on accommodation prices for bookings made before the end of this month (and some until the end of October). The best is for Eco Le Ruitor residence in Ste Foy, where there is a 30 per cent discount for Christmas week, 20 per cent off over New Year and 10 per cent for all other dates — including February half term and Easter (book by November 30).
It also highlights several lift-pass deals, such as a free child Paradiski lift pass with two adult passes during the period March 30 to April 12 at Les Arcs, a similar deal at La Plagne in early April and over Christmas, and at Chamonix, where there is a 20 per cent discount if you book passes before November 30 for weeks outside key school holidays.
Inghams (inghams.co.uk)
The hotel and chalet operator has a particularly broad range of discounts and incentives this year, including cash savings throughout the season and lots of lift pass and equipment hire offers. These must all be booked in advance, and include two passes for the price of one in all chalets and chalet hotels in Zermatt and Verbier (valid all season), and free passes in St Moritz (all season).
In Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland and Lapland, there is two-for-one equipment hire throughout the season with bookings to all chalets and chalet hotels.
In Canada, there is free equipment hire in Lake Louise (all season), a two-for-one pass offer in Kimberley (all season) and Fernie (limited dates) – these must be booked by November 30.
Finally, family offers include free lift passes for children up to six in many resorts, including Obergurgl, Austria, Saas Fee and Zermatt, and for children up to 11 years in resorts in Andorra and two-for-one tuition for children aged up to 11 years in selected resorts in Austria and Italy.
Powder Byrne (powderbyrne.com)
At the luxury end of the market, Powder Byrne doesn't offer early booking discounts for peak periods, because bookings are already strong (many customers book a year in advance). However, it does have some offers over Easter of seven nights for the price of six. These include the Hotel Adula at Flims, Switzerland, for March 24 to 31 at £2,010 per person half board, including return flights from London, local transfers and a full rep service.
Supertravel Ski (supertravel.co.uk/ski)
With chalets in France, Switzerland and Austria, Supertravel has a handful of cash savings on early bookings. Some of these are for peak season. For example, Chalet Hörnli a three-bedroom apartment in Zermatt, is available from 23 December from £1,659 per person, per week, chalet board with wine, saving £100 on the brochure price – book by October 31.
VIP Ski (vip-chalets.com)
The chalet specialist is offering a free child lift pass when two adult passes are booked for April 7 departures to La Plagne. It is also offering a £100 discount for departures on seven dates throughout the season, including all of January. Larger groups can get a 10 per cent discount for filling a chalet for 12 or more – but this is not applicable for New Year, half term or Easter dates.

Roy Oswalt is signed only through 2011, but he does have a mutual $16 million option for 2012. If the Phillies declined to pick that up, they'd owe Oswalt $2 million as a buyout, so unless he falls apart he'll probably be around for two more seasons.
Cole Hamels will also likely be in Philadelphia for two more seasons, but he'll be arbitration eligible after 2012 and the Phillies might need to let him leave in order to save some money.
So that means that in 2013 the Phillies should be severely weakened and will only have dual aces Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay.
Should be no trouble for the Mets, Marlins, Braves, and Nationals.

I lived the dream tonight. I got picked for the shooting contest at halftime of the U of L game tonight I have been going to U of L games since I was about 8 years old and dreamed that one day I'd be the slouch that gets to stumble on to the court and embarrass himself in front of a packed house.
Well tonight was my night cause the jumper was pure .
Made the layup with ease. Drained the free throw. Swished the 3 pointer from the top of the key...and then I airballed the half court shot as the clock expired.
Aw well, I guess the dream had to end eventually but at least I got to mark that one off the bucket list.
(please tell me that someone on here saw my one shining moment, I'd love to hear how ridiculous I looked)

Melatonin Side Effects and Safety Concerns, cont'd
Melatonin influences the production of other hormones. It could theoretically interfere with normal sexual development, so it shouldn't be used by children unless they are under the supervision of a healthcare provider. For the same reason, it shouldn't be used by women who are trying to conceive or by pregnant or nursing women. Increased male breast size and reduced sperm count have also been reported. Melatonin may also affect insulin levels.
Melatonin can influence immune function and it's not known how it affects people with autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and type 1 diabetes.
Melatonin supplements may worsen the symptoms in people with depression, so people with depression should only use melatonin under the supervision of a health care provider. Melatonin is broken down by the liver, so people with liver disease should avoid melatonin.
Possible Drug Interactions
Melatonin may interact with the following drugs:
- High blood pressure medication
- Drugs that suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporine
- Antidepressant medication
- Corticosteroids (used for inflammatory conditions such as arthritis)
- Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium), and other drugs that cause sedation
- Herbs that cause sleepiness or drowsiness, such as kava kava and valerian
- The herb St. John's wort

Pataki has made few outward signs of planning a run, and no organization appears to be in place in any of the early states.
A vocal critic of Obama's signature health care reform law, Pataki may announce for president as soon as next week.
He would join an already crowded field as a moderate conservative with executive experience — doing the most damage to the front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Hyuna – Bubble Pop: Kpop Music Mondays
Ok, so let's start this by saying WOOT WOOT! We love this catchy cute song. Hyuna's "Bubble Pop" can quite possibly be the biggest song of the summer. It's definitely got the numbers to back it up. Over 5 million views in five days. This video went viral. Yes, you do get those kinds of numbers with an SM and YG song, but that's only because they've got really big fan bases who are dedicatedly watching it. Hyuna's big, yes, but not as big as those two, so for this video to have those kinds of numbers shows that it's not just dedicated fans that are watching it, but a boatload of other people who are new to Hyuna and Kpop that are digging this song.
That whole "ooh ah ooh aah ooooooh" for the chorus sounds amazing. The song is so fun and quirky and just sounds great…apart from the sexy dubstep solo. Come on now! Dubstep in a Kpop song? We don't think it really fits. We love Dubstep, but when we listen to it we're more used to gloomy DJs with toques and oversized headphones, not Korean girls rubbing the insides of their thighs. Those two images…don't really blend.
Another thing that didn't really jive with us was the video. Bubble Pop is a fun and cute song, but the video was just a bit too sexy, which might have greatly contributed to the amount of views the video got (and if you don't believe us, do a search in the comments for "fap" or "masturbate" and you'll see what we mean). There's not a lot of bubble popping in the dance. In fact we would argue there was no bubble popping, if not less than 10% bubble sighting in the whole video. But there is a lot of bum-shaking, cleavage-boosting, and thigh-rubbing!
We were especially disappointed with this video because solo artists in Korea are usually especially fantastic at both dancing and singing; look at Hyori, BoA, Rain, Se7en, but Hyuna in both this video and her last video just shook her body…a lot…and almost for the whole video. Even in 4minute's "Mirror Mirror" they barely did any dancing, and their famous crotch-on-floor-rub stripper move was done by – you guessed it – Hyuna.
Don't get us wrong: we don't mind sexiness and sexy dancing, but there are tons of gorgeous Korean dancers out there in the world that could easily do what Hyuna just did. Simon did it perfectly himself! Seriously, though, we're looking for some charisma mixed with unique and talented dancing in our kpop singers. We hope Hyuna's music label is not going to continue to package her purely as a Korean sex icon, unless they want to continue getting pervy comments on their videos. We guess we like kpop music for its unique dances, quirky videos, original fashion sense, AND catchy music. If we wanted to hear a catchy song and watch a sexy video, we would just watch a North American pop/rap video: more than enough bum shaking and low cut shirts for all!
Anyways regardless of the video, the song is still totally cabotally awesome, so if you want to pick up the album sans video, you can click on the banner below. Oooh ooh ooh ooh!
Filed Under:Kpop Music Mondays
LoL I lighted upon this blog and think that your comments on the video are hilarious! Well, although this post was written 2 years ago, I still wanna show my respects to your review! I think I should have bookmark on this.
It's Cube Ent. who told her what dance to do don't blame HyunA
Totally agree with that last bit. American pop has more than enough of sexy videos and catchy songs.
The poolside push-off makes more sense after you see 4minute's "Heart to Heart". Apparently, you just don't mess around with Korean women. Compared to the other video, this guy got off easy.
I thought CHU implied kissing? Am I wrong?
I know there are SO many songs with poor usage of English, but the comic book English is nothing compared to Koda Kumi's "Run For Your Life"
My sister was visiting Korea this past week and saw it on Mnet TV. She's a big fan of Kpop so she knows the trends but she was like, "How did this get past the censors?". I wondered about that too, since the Korean music scene sometimes can't decide what's totally inappropriate or not. Not ragging on the song though, I admit it's catchy but not my favorite song of the summer (that'd probably go to Infinity's "Be Mine" lol). If only the make-up stores didn't play it a million trillion times, I wouldn't mind it so much haha. I was also laughing because I thought I had a flat behind…..but I was wrong :PÂ
Voting for Bubble Pop. Seriously, put ants in my pants and that's how I'd be dancing haha.Â
i was so confused with that pool side scene i was what did i miss something
Hi, I'm from Argentina and I really love your Youtube Channel. You're so funny describing the KPOP MV's :DDDD This one from Hyuna was so truth!! I think the same, there must be bubbles!! XD
 Please, next monday can you put the new MV "Good Bye Baby" from Miss A?? Please talk about it, there is a lot of funny things to say XDÂ
I think it's a little offensive that you're saying: "Hyuna, you're too Korean to dance this sexily. Cute it up!". Why should she be limited by the unwritten rules of her music genre? Why can't she do whatever she pleases? :)
They never said she is too Korean to do those dances. They are saying that her label is basically just using sex/sexiness to attract a following. That if they wanted to see a sexy dance COMPLETELY & TOTALLY unrelated to the song..then they could just watch it somewhere else.Â
agreed with tracey d. but its also common knowledge in the kpop world that she cant do whatever she pleases- its often the label that chooses for her
Interesting review. What's with the Korea-face though? It's a tad offensive.
hahah I see you became Batoost loyal fans after Fiction, I love your screensaver :) and "disturbing" is an accurate word to describe Simon dancing in short pants hahahah just kidding Simon, I love your dancing, please never stop doing it xD you make my days happier. It turns me on even more than Hyuna xD
i would have to say bubble pop cause that bubble is poppin!!! like sisqo – thong song!!
Bubble Pop definitely has more ants in the pants moves. :P
Hey there! I love the way you guys tried to imitate their dance moves! Very entertaining. And I agree with you folks – ANYBODY can do what they do on their music set. Cracked me up…
Also, not too surprised about the number of hits on their video. When I saw it, I was like "Yup, no surprise…all their dance moves are the same!"
I prefer change
SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldnt focus on the vid because of your great dancing :D i guess star king did do some wonders :P
Agreed it is like a non stop thrust mv O~o martina
aaahh xDD
Simon dancing in the back distracts me!! XD can't pay attention what Martina is saying because of it xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
my vote goes for bubble pop o.o
martina i LOVE ur shirt!!!!!!
 bubble pop
 way more ants cause way more JIRATIN
……. Love the Body Gyration Comment u said Martina…. Simon… OMG….. Those comments will totally be ruined by your dance… (The     "M!%#!%^#!%!#"  Comments)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Â Simon your dancing skills never cease to amaze me!!!!
forget rolling down your sexy windows. if you show the YG ent. group your 'bubble bubble bubble pop' there's no way they could refuse you <3
i completely agree, those comments were really disturbing and the video did not go with the video…
Hyun-A!!! ^^
She definately has more ants in her pants in Bubble Pop. I got ants in my pants once. It wasn't as fun as she makes it look but it was just as sexy!
wow you guys totally exterminated the video
but I don't care, I STILL LOVE THE SONG :P
I don't really know why people are judging about the MV being too sexy and started to criticize her D; It's just a form of performance and if you don't like it, DON'T EVEN WATCH IT- – I hate to see people fighting around and said bad words to Hyuna. She's just too young to face these awful comments.><
It's kinda hard to compare both songs as the concepts are quite different. Bubble Pop shows a concept about summer time while Change shows a cool and sexy side of Hyuna. I love both of the Music Videos but I gonna go with Hyuna's Change
you said it yourself that she's too young
so why should she be promoting all these sexy moves?
yes i know that she's a good dancer.
i agree to that.
but maybe just tone down a little?
She's legal, just saying, so it's quite fine for her to be doing this sort of dancing.
She's legal plus it's the company who wants her to have a sexy image
EYK loves Kpop and this is all in good fun, so you need to relax or dont watch EYK Music Mondays if its your favorite band/singer. I love it when they do stuff about my favorite performers. If you cant laugh at it, you are taking things way to seriously, just saying…
Having a hard time finding Hyuna's Change (mostly 'cause I don't type Korean). Is there a reason you don't link to the music videos up for challenge from your blog? If there's not a legal reason, it's something to think about.
Anyways. Time for my vote: Hyuna's got more ants in Bubble Pop.
Hope you guys have a great week. As for me… well I've got to try to untraumatize myself after seeing Simon dance like Hyuna (jk, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time, keep it up)
totally agreeing w/ u guys bout d MV and song. all that bum-shaking, cleavage-boosting, and thigh-rubbing was getting on my nerve too! and I've always thought of her as a rapper (average) then she came out singing for her Bubble Pop! was quite taken aback but it wasn't a delightful surprise. especially after watching her live performance…wow, did tat suck as so much! now i understand why she's not the singer in her group
I'm going to mud festival(ë³´ë ¹ ì´ë²ˆì£¼ í† ìš"ì¼)
Owh thank you Martina And Simon. I understand and can accept what you said. I love it too, but your words not really hurt me as a fan. Not like the harsh and sarcastic words out there. This why I love to follow your review.
And oh yeah, thanks for make a review for HyunA~ I am one of people who vote for her few days a go ^^
Hyuna's been the sexy one since her wonder girls days. It's just more pronounced now. The practice video is much better, as it doesn't look so… well, sexy.Â
Just watched the practice video for Bubble pop and I like it better than the official music video. Especially the last few seconds of it.
Hrm…. I'm gonna go with Bubble Bop because the ants in the pants were WAY over the top. Change is just the right amount of hooch I think…Â
the uhh ahh ahh part is the most annoying part, next to the B2B pop, the boobies to booty pop. the bubble definition for a woman for Hyuna is interpreted as breasts and ass. dissapointing.Â
ps: ran and play bubble wrap with GDTOP sounds more fun!
 I mean seriously, I dont want to her you moaning Hyuna in a song, grab a guy and get a decent room and ur free to do just about anything seriously.
Another great video and I won't ever see that Bubble Pop video again in the same way (if I see it again).
Understanding why the agency chose to go in the more sexy direction, considering that Hyuna's getting older, and there's tendency in all agencies to at least try that concept with their idols at that point, AND considering the fact that 4minute as a group could be considered separately from other girl groups in that they tend to have a stronger, more aggressive image anyways, I still agree that the sexiness in the video way overshadows the song. I actually went back and played the song by itself and I actually paid attention to it (sorry, but boobs and butts all over the place DOES tend to be distracting).
The song is great, but I gotta disagree on that "ooh ooh ahh ooooohhhh" part. It's just me, I know, but it annoys the heck out of me. Everything else is awesome, especially the chorus. It's a great summer song and simply for the fact that it doesn't specifically make "summer" the focus of it like "Hot Summer" or "Go Go Summer". It's just a fun song.
P.S. Loving the Wolverine tee. :-)
It was so hard to enjoy the song when all I was faced with was popping asses and boob squeezing. When I put the live version on and switched to another tab and was NOT looking at her "dance", I thought the song was decent, and that it fit the summer season very well. But GAD, the video just… smh. She has a great body (aka sexy) but she boasts it out as a first priority and tries wayyyy too hard to be sexiER.
I'…m so speechless, and this is not even because of the fact that the song I voted for didn't win, but because I thought for sure that Don't Go Home video would get more votes. (;;>o<)==3
Just going to watch Knock Out for real bubble popping hahaha!
I was worried when I first saw the lead up of "top song of the summer", but I was glad to see you guys also thought the MV was a disappointment. I totally agree that to just use pure sex appeal is not going to appeal to the right audience and it just degrades Hyuna.
This was one of my favorite Music Mondays ever. Love the godzilla + oppa scene. It is going in my favorites :D.Â
I think that may have been the funniest video you guys have ever done…which says a lot. I was cracking up!
More bubbles Simon!
Question : I'm learning English from this site.
What's the meaning of the word "cabotally" ? in the " totally cabotally awesome."
I searched the Internet and dictionary etc. Is it French?
It's not a real word. Â We make up a lot of words. Â We oftentimes say "totally cabotally" Also, "totally scrotally" – but that has a different meaning.
LOL love the cc! 50% of the subs were fap fap fap fap fap fap… :P
The girl only went crazy because it's LEE JOON :DD
I vote for..Change. She looks like she's got red ants or something in her pants. :/
Coming from an A+ who isnt even Joon biased even I was like "Eww that chick in nasty… wtf is Lee Joon doing in this video anyway?"
(I researched it and the only explination I came up with that connects em is that she did the girl chorus in MBLAQ's song "Oh Yeah"… which I now have stuck in my head)
And I vote Bubble Pop because of the above reasons and because I dont wanna watch another vid of her "dancing"
P.S. This song made me feel the need to replace the bananas chant in "Hollaback Girl" with bubbles.
Anyways, this pretty much sums up what I think of it as well. I personally love the song, just not the mv :)
change gets my vote… No matter what she does, the ants just won't stop!
ouch on the 'we would've watched a North American pop/rap video' haha but i guess i ain't complaining—-its the truth :P
yeah, i was thinking the same thing when i saw the music vid. too, raunchy/slutty and american popish…..(and I think i can say that right???? I'm American)Â
I agree with you guys on this music video. it didn't seem so kpop-ish to me as they usually are. :(
I am legally going to change my name to Aegyozilla! That was soooooo funny >.<
My vote: Bubble Pop…. (I didn't watch the whole MV because I didn;t think I should watch anymore of…that… ants dance.

Hahaha Simon I need to poke my defiled eyes out (loved it) and Love Matina's hair how on earth did you do it, can you put a video tutorial up for your hair styles :) I 100% agree with the review, cute song (and I normally hate cute) but the video….still don't understand why she is getting so much hate (and am not even a fan of 4min or Hyuna).
roflmfao!! Simon you truly are the funniest ever xD omg you dancing = epic LMFAOO!!
I love Simon and Martina!! :D you both are too funny lol
CSJH the Grace next week !!! and Bubble Pop definately had more ants in her pants
*DIES DIES DIES* simon, you have NO shame!! Â BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i love it!! Â keep dancing, my man! keep dancing!!
martina, your hair is awesome!!!! Â LOVE it!! Â also, so sorry you didn't get any bubbles to pop. Â here's some virtual bubblewrap to help ease your pain! Â http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/popnow.shtml
one question, are you already moving into the fall colours or did your program somehow desaturate everything? it's not as bright and happy looking as usual!!
Ah! Â We had to film the video at night, and we didn't color correct this video. Â We should get back to filming in the day…soon.
I totally agree with you guys. I thought the video was going to be so cutesy and silly and NO…. no, there's a chick wearing short shorts while rubbing her thighs and stripper dancing. So. Not. Cute.
Oh, and btw Martina, the girl with the horn buns in "I'm The Best" looks like you. Seriously, everytime I see that video I have to remind myself that she isn't Martina.
MBLAQ Mona Lisa!! Seungho~ 0.0
MBLAQ Mona Lisa…pleaseeeeee!!! They are soooo original and talented!
I love the way you made it! Simon your dance is awesome haha ^^ I don't like this song and music video ( which probably will be the most popular among guys for some time xD)Â buy your Music Kpop Mondays is great as always ^^
Next time please do MBLAQ "Mona Lisa" =))
OMG i love this!! it's true, the video has no sense… the only think really hot in this video is Lee Joon (yes, the shirtless guy of the pool) *I'm a girl, it's obvious* Â I like Hyuna, but only on 4minute, she's no a good solo artist, anyway, she got a lot of fans… she's still being pretty… but a way, i really like MBLAQ's "Mona lisa" for the Next week… it's just… AWESOME!
PS: simón it's so funny! he dance better than hyuna!!
Wow, the song is really cool, but the video was really, really, I cant explain, it was too bad XD, anyways, I also was surprised that this video was choosen, because I thought that Dont go home by GD & TOP was the one( well, at least in facebook, it was the winner) anyways, this review was funny as always!!!
btw, Martina, everytime you use the black wig, you look super cute, I love your hair, but if you ever change your look to black, it would look super cute
Simon, I think that your dance was less awful than Hyuna's, and I really mean it
Simon…my eyes nearly bled DXÂ
But you accomplished your goal & now the video is no longer sexy AT ALL (except Lee Joon, you can't take the sexy out of that man).
Yey somebody agrees with me on my thoughts about Hyuna's MV! I am officially scarred Simon, thank you.
I was totally expecting some like whimsical bubble filled video
I hated this MV the first time I saw it. D: And Simon, you just made it worse. Now whenever I hear Bubble Pop, I think of your dance moves. -shivers- No offense, though. :3
oh yeah, btw…. I'm noticing some improvement in Simon's dancing… Go for it Simon, Goooooo!!!!!!
ps: martina I really liked your style today ( I usually do like your style) but it has a different feel to it. You're hair looked so cute on you, and you're make-up was reminding me of the summer colours. I'm not a perv…. just enjoying commenting someone's fashion sense
I loved Hyuna in Change more than Bubble Pop.
And to Simon, if you read this…. well you have succeeded in destroying any sexy I might have seen in the Bubble Pop MV. now I see "bling"…. *cringes*.
great music monday ^_^
Oh, I really thought you guys would've been preparing a music monday on gd & top's don't go home (or don't leave).
And I was also disturbed by the almost non existent bubble pops, even though it's the song's title.
But I do like the song, it's catchy and has a bright colourful feel to it. Really what you expect for a song a this time of the year, it perfectly matches the "summer-spirit"
This music video was really awful. Not appropriate for work awful. Embarrassed for Hyuna awful.
I agree with Martina, the girl can't dance worth anything. So to make up for it we see shots of her pasty derriere? No thanks.
Simon was equally as disturbing and hilarious as hell.Â
The video was kinda disturbing. LOL. I love the song though. I don't get Koreans. They ban good songs and make them edit "inappropriate videos" which has nothing bad. But not this video. Weird. Can someone educate me? Seriously. I have to agree that I'd rather watch American Vids when it comes to a catchy song and sexy vids.
Between change and bubble pop. I'll vote for CHANGE
Yay! I'm glad you guys did this one!
After watching Bubble Pop, I became curious as how Hyuna is off stage and came across this:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TI_DNVqa_MÂ It's from Invincible Youth. It's hard believe that the Hyuna in Change and Bubble Pop is the same Hyuna as in this little clip of her. HAHAHA XD
i don't care about Hyuna..i care about Martina!!~ your hair in this video is so~~ cute..love it!!~
btw: MBLAQ – MONA LISA ~ next week!!~Â Baby say yeah yeah yeah yes~~
MBLAQ's Mona Lisa for next week! :DÂ
And, for me it's a tie, because she always dances like that to me :')
I think that Hyuna was a good dancer and signer but I like her more when she was live because she always smille and she love what she do and it was the importance. I really love bubble pop song but I think that Change video was more interresting to see because in bubble pop video it will be cool if we can't see more the story than Hyuna dance. I believe that cube entertainment can make better choreography for Hyuna bearing earthsher dancer talent. But Hyuna have everything for become the sexiest girls in Korea. So Hyuna Fithing!
It was quite a disappointment. She always overdue her dances. Not sexy but s….save your cookies my friend, too much exposure. SMH Epic Fail.
….bubble pop?
this vid is just not what im into.
Simon what's wrong with you today?! XD
I actually don't like Hyuna! She is trying to be like Hyori onni! But Hyori onni is Sexy Diva and Hyuna is..sluttish girl………
I don't saw the video and here I find out that Joonie was in that horrible MV! ><
You didn't say it (probably to avoid getting hate mail), but I will — Hyuna is the ho-iest, sluttiest current K-pop artist. Or at least being marketed as such. She does her porn face for at least 90% of the video and works overtime to sell her body.Â
I love my hot girls, but Hyuna is one butterface that I don't particularly dig. Too young and trying too hard.
She isn't a slut and she doesn't put a 'porn face' please grow up
hahahhahahahahahahahaha i sooooooooo agree with you guys, i thought it was gonna be all cute and giggly but it was just,,,,,,,,weird for me, and BTW martina looks really good with the long black wig=)
i agree with you guys. something that i really don't like about her is that. in her videos or 4minute's videos, she's like always dancing way too sexy kind of like naughty movements. but anyway i hope the agency stops doing that to her -___- muzik industry is not only about body, booty shaking Â
for me? it's one of your FUNNIEST VIDEO EVER! haha!! THANKS FOR DANCING SIMON! haha!
I think they planned that video so that every guy in the world will watch it.. EVEN MY CLASSMATES IN COLLEGE NOW, WATCHED THAT VIDEO AND POSTED IT IN THEIR FACEBOOK WALL and THEY ARE NOT EVEN FANS OF ANY KPOP GROUPS!!! hahaha!!I actually don't like the part where HyunA pushed my LEE JOON-sshi LOVELY! LEE JOON-sshi WONDERFUL! hmp! HOW DARE SHE PUSHED HIM! hahahha!!!

 Hahahaha…"Unreasonable Jealous!"…Pit a Pat~~…btw love the Wolverine and Unicorn shirts!
you are so right. she can dance I think, but she was just… you listed well what she does in this video so I won't. and I wanted to kill something at the last uhh-ahh-ooh. I normally don't mind sexy, but this video has way too much of it.
I was disappointed too. I mean: Lee Joon is half-naked and he only get's such a short scene? what's wrong with the world??
I like the song minus the crap dubstep imitation break down, but the video is horribe! Hyuna still hasn't learned why hyori is sexy queen, yes she has a sexy body, but she doesn't squeeze her boobs together to make boob cleavage or shaking a non existent ass at the camera trying too hard. hyori is sexy because she is hot and has fun on stage and smiles! not trying to make sexy faces at the camera. Who thinks KBS will ban this video?Â
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES! This was hilarious. And so perfect.
Thank you for reviewing this song. I think you are quite right with your analysis. The song is great but the video not really.
Looks like whenever you guys review a song I like, you just end up bashing it for 80% of the video… I guess I should start requesting songs/mv's I dont like at all.
Awww! Â We still love the song! Â Just not the video. Â We've totally been singing the song non-stop since we heard it. Â We just wish they did a better job at the video.
I believe I laughed out loud pretty huge twice while watching this. Amazing!
Martina! how did u tired your hair!! so cute!! xD
shocking.. looks like the same theme
SIMON!!!!!! OHHHHH MYYYY GOOOOOD…. YOU SCARed me for the whole day with your BUTT SHAKING…. (BUT IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNY)
this video was way too sexy and way too awkward to watch..it totally didn't do the song justice cause it's an awesome song! anyway, thanks Simon & Martina for doing this review! it's always so much fun to watch your videos! you guys rock!!
and yet GD and TOP's are the ones being banned.. BUYAA!
I see BEAST in the background! And.. also Simon dancing. *AWKWARD*
I am so glad to see I was not the only person with many of these thoughts! I was honestly confused when the pictures came out and the company kept claiming the concept was "sporty" rather than "sexy." Note to her management: Just because she is wearing a sports jersey, that doesn't make it "sporty."
Honestly, my opinion of this girl dropped to the floor when Change came out. She was once a member of the Wonder Girls, yes? But this is the best she can do? Makes me question whether she really left because of her health, or if JYP just decided he'd picked the wrong girl and let her go. This song doesn't change that opinion at all. She needs to show us that she is capable of being popular when she isn't shaking her goodies or "popping her bubbles" at us.
Seriously, so disappointed in this video. At least you two made this Music Monday fun… I seriously cringed when I saw the video you were reviewing on twitter this morning…
Hahahaha! Â Totally didn't know that they claimed the concept was "sporty." Â There are a lot of things I'd call this video. Â Sporty doesn't make it on the list. Â I think you have to be somewhat playing sports. Â Even when we saw the ads where she's wearing a helmet we thought "why the hell is she wearing a helmet?"
Don't blame HyunA blame Cube Ent. and she was the best dancer in WG (and 4Minute) so she really can do better. Check the other songs of the album
I am very deeply distubed by Simon's dancing. I didn't want to watch, but I couldn't look away 0_0 I can't believe GD & TOP lost to this!!! btw, I didn't like her MV and her video kinda ruined the song. The song sounds cute, but every time I hear it I picture her dacing way to sexy and trying to act cute at the same time. Which is just so awkward and confusing. Now Im gonna picture Simon doing this @_@
I so agree. HyunAh has so much more to offer (I think) there is no need to constantly have her humping floors and fences and pushing her boobs together in her solo songs. I liked the lil dubstep part, I think it was a WTF TY HyunAh.
Your second last paragraph (here), owh thank you.
I though only me (as an Asian) would feel…um….concern about this whole Asian-stars-hitting-it-down-too-much and seriously, there's reasons why I don't enjoy rap MVs, coz of the too much "exposure".Plus she's young (same age as me as the matter of fact).I just, don't enjoy looking Asian stars showing off these and that like Western stars. If I wanted to see that, Imma watch MTV instead of enjoying Kpop.No offense people, please. I mean no harm.
I can't even tell you how much I love you guys. But now I won't be able to listen to the song without thinking of Simon pushing his moobs together > <Â
Moobs?! Â I think you mean, sexy man pecs!
Can't believe Don't Go Home lost to this. ARRGHHH. Running to the request page now. PS. Joon was the best part of the Mv..Â
i agree, if i wanted to see sexy dancing with a addicting song, i'd go for North American music anytime.
Agree. At least the perf are better, cuter than the MV.
I couldn't have agreed more… Less sexy, more dancing please! I think Hyuna has way more potential than this as a solo artist, in terms of her own dance choreography.Â
Extra win for Simon's background and solo dancing~! xD I'mma have to steal those moves.
I cannot focus…. SIMON DANCING!!!! hahaha
I agree with your review *_*Â
I really liked the song, but the video just didn't match it at all =| I wish they could have given it more thought.Â
I thought it will be Don't go home.. :(
me too =(
me three!!!! ;_;
Me four….*Martina cries over loss of bubbles and GD&TOP

Item: GDSM9
Over the past 10 years Maxon effects have become a key ingredient in the guitar rigs of countless metal bands. Notable artists such as Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy, As I Lay Dying, Dimmu Borgir, Shadow's Fall, and Behemoth have come to rely on Maxon effects to create their brutal guitar tones on stage and in the studio. The irony in this (pun intended) is that Maxon has never offered a pedal tailored to the needs of the metal guitarist – until now. Introducing the Maxon SM-9 Pro+ Super Metal – specifically designed to reproduce high-gain distortion tones with cut midrange, the SM-9 Pro+ can recreate anything from the classic crunch of the NWOBHM through to today's most extreme drop-tuned metal. Developing such a diverse circuit was no easy task, and the SM-9 was on the drawing board for years before Maxon deemed it worthy of release. Several unique "tricks" were incorporated to create a pedal that is as versatile as it is merciless.

Social media played a big role in last night's election.
Before President Barack Obama took the stage last night, he Tweeted a photo of him and the first lady hugging with the words "four more years."
So far his tweet has been Retweeted by over 750,000 Twitter users.
Even early on in Tuesday night's election results, people were tweeting that they couldn't refresh their feed fast enough; there were simply too many Tweets coming in to keep up with all of them.
As news networks began to call the election last night, Twitter peaked with more than 327,000 Tweets per minute.
In all, election night brought in 31 million Tweets from across the globe, with world leaders also sending Tweets of congratulations to President Obama.
That sort of engagement between leaders and voters is exactly what Twitter and other social media outlets are all about.
"In that moment, somebody had the opportunity to engage with their government or politics or democracy. We're told all the time how apathetic and disconnected our country is and last night, there were hundreds of thousands of people that were completely connected," said Director of Continuing Education Director at Augustana College Hugh Weber.
Weber said he hopes to see the same interaction continue long after election night. He hopes Obama will continue to share aspects of the political and decision making process on Twitter over the next four years.
South Dakota law makers also contributed to the Twitter-verse last night.
Governor Daugaard Tweeted Tuesday night: "We live with in our means. We believe in a balance budget, without raising taxes. Tonight's results make that clear."
Wednesday Morning, Representative Kristi Noem thanked voters on Twitter for giving her another term in Congress.

Top-ranked recipe named "Classic Shortbread with Drambuie Glaze"
More Back of the Box Gourmet By Michael McLaughlin If you believe that the simpler the cookie the better (a retro-radical posture to assume in these days of macadamia chocolate chunkdom), youre probably already a fan of Scottish shortbread. Tasting of little more than good butter and sugar, these cookies can stand only the slightest of embellishments--one such being a smooth and shiny glaze, created with the two-hundred-year-old Scotch whiskey-based liqueur known as Drambuie. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Sift in flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir just until mixture forms a soft dough. Using lightly floured hands, press dough evenly into a lightly buttered 9-inch round baking pan. With a fork, lightly press around edge of dough. Using the fork. Divide the dough into eight wedges, pressing all the way onto the bottom of the pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 min., just until dough beings to brown. (Shortbread will not be crisp, but will firm upon cooling.) Cut through fork markings to form wedges. Cool completely on a rack. Remove wedges carefully from pan. Whisk confectioners sugar and Drambuie until smooth. Spread icing on wedges and let set. Store in airtight container. MAKES 8 servings Gilding the Lily: No gilding, just a warning: "8 servings" means 8 cookies. If you think just one of these delicious shortbreads represents a serving, you probably also think a bag of potato chips feeds six. Get real. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #6 by janet

9Will Amber Heard Ever Shut Up?
For someone who's only marginally famous (C+ list only because of her relationship with Johnny Depp, let's be honest), Amber Heard sure has a lot to say. Funny enough, most of it is obnoxious. Sure, she's young, so it makes sense that she's gonna want to waffle on about her theories on life and all it entails. Doesn't mean it's not eyeroll-inducing, however.
Her latest admission comes in the form of an interview she did about her new film 3 Days to Kill. It's apparently an action film co-starring Kevin Costner (lol), and Amber was asked what attracted her to such an adventurous role. Here's her answer:
"I would always prefer to shoot the gun than wear a wedding dress," she explained. "It is far more interesting to me."
Yes, we get it. You're not just some pretty blonde! You're hardcore and way too smart to play stereotypical roles! You're such a bad-ass.
I actually do think it's a really admirable trait to want to go for something different and not take the kind of roles she could probably most easily get, but I feel like this girl is ALWAYS proclaiming how wonderful she is and how she's just too smart to accept her own beauty and all that shit. You know, she's really struggled with being so pretty, guys. Boo hoo.

Wow. This post reeks of hate and envy.
Another new low of Evil Beet.
"someone" must be new to this site cause pissy negativity is kinda Jennifers shtick. Rarely can she muster up a positive word about anyone or anything. That's why we love her lol
Honestly, I feel that way about Jennifer Lawrence and her constant proclamations of "I'm so quirky!" I saw Amber Heard on Top Gear and she seemed super cool, but she lost points with me when she hooked up with Johnny Depp just because how cliche is that?
Why do people give her such a hard time? She seems like a nice person, but everything she says, no matter what, is ragged on relentlessly. Her and Johnny seem happy, are pretty low-key and neither one hangs out on social media!
Probably because she's seen as a homewrecker and he and Vanessa have young kids.
Homewrecker indeed. Forever sleeping her way to the top. Reeeeeal classy. WINONA FOREVER!
*ahem* >> http://bit.ly/1h6rn2u
How can she be a homewrecker when they didn't hook up until after he and Vanessa split?

The $50 million dollar compensation for moving the Astros into the American League West is still just rumor, but let's talk about spending it. I don't know about you, but I know what I would do if I were to get a $50 million dollar rebate with one of my purchases. I'd have a lot of coke at all my parties; I'd buy an entire legion of life-sized Star Wars stormtrooper manikins; I'd make it rain in the strip club every night; I'd get gold teeth; I'd put diamonds on the soles of my shoes; I'd buy lots of trucks with really big tires to go muddin in my neighbor's yard because he would complain a lot about my nightly firework show and my full-sized AT-AT lawn ornament; I'd hire a personal bodyguard to guard my body double; and the list goes on. Or I may choose to invest the money by purchasing 50 million lottery tickets. How much do lotto tickets cost these days? Are they still a dollar? I am a fan of 'letting my money work for me.' That's obviously how you get rich enough to buy a baseball team in the first place. You win the lotto once then reinvest in the lotto or go to Vegas for the big score. I might even donate it all to my favorite televangelist. The possibilities are endless. Oh, but I know Jim Crane is better than me. He is not afflicted with my peasant desires. I'm sure he can think of better things to do with the money. But let's help him with some ideas anyway.
First off, we can get some promotions going on. For instance, instead of dollar hotdog night we can have free hotdog night...pretty much every night. Can you imagine how popular Astros tickets will be among the homeless? Thus it could be seen as welfare, and the Astros could get some sort of tax write off if they don't already cook the books enough. The homeless will be out under the I-10 overpasses with signs reading "Will work for stros tickets" ...free advertising! How many hotdogs can $50 million net a fellow? I'm guessing Mr. Crane can even afford to upgrade the hotdogs from the dilapidated things that Drayton served up on dollar hotdog night. Those mummified hotdogs had to inspire Sinclair's The Jungle. Other possibilities: solid gold bobble heads, the first five hundred fans get $100,000, turn Minute Maid into a homeless shelter during nationally televised games to make the stands appear full, a robot manager that uses advanced statistics to manage the game and fans get to use their mobile devices to connect to and communicate with the manager during the game.
Perhaps, mystery-meat isn't your thing, and you want to see some money invested in an on field improvement. What is it that fangraphs always says? 1 WAR on the free agent market costs about 5 million dollars? So let's see, the Astros were at 21.4 WAR on the season and $50 million can buy us about 10 WAR, which puts us at 31.4. That is very simplified, but we are still a good 10 WAR away from even having a chance at making the playoffs. Some have said that the Astros could make a run at Yu Darvish if they wanted to make a splash and raise fan interest. Sure it's unlikely but that 50 million could cover his posting fee. I've warmed a little bit to the idea of him pitching for the Astros since I wrote my first ever fanpost, but I still have my doubts. The $50 million could even let us keep Barmes, or eat Lee's contract, or most of Myers and/or Wandy's contracts. Or it could cover two seasons or maybe one and a half seasons of Albert Pujols. Of course, it would be more sensible to add a few needed stop gaps, and invest in the draft and international signings, but that won't please the readers over at chron.com. It's not flashy.
Reckless spending on players would cause more problems than it would fix, just like my narcotics at every party idea in the first paragraph...or most of my ideas in the first paragraph. Maybe instead of investing in on field talent they could invest in off field talent. How much would it take to get Friedman to come home again? How about Dave Duncan as pitching coach? $50 million can get you quite a few good scouts on pretty much every continent in the world and still have enough money left over to sign the best prospects that they find.
However, it is more likely that this $50 million will go towards something mundane and responsible like lessening the debt that the new ownership group had to take on in order to buy the team so that the Astros don't go Dodger/Ranger on us...unless they can build the talent the Rangers have, then they can go bankrupt all they want...hopefully with that lessened debt, some of juicier things will come to fruition (like free hotdog night). One has to worry that the compensation money could also go towards an owners-only party with lots of coke, stormtroopers (they're white and male so Crane will hire them), AT-ATs, fireworks and the rest. I hope he sends an invitation to me for my great ideas.
