The Jurassic World trailer dropped early yesterday, and aside from a very hunky Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle amid dinos, another revelation was that once again Bryce Dallas Howard is playing someone everyone will hate: the bitch who created that scary part-shark/part-dinosaur and tried to play God.
This is yet another villainous turn for Ron Howard's daughter. There's of course The Help, 50/50 (which I actually think was a misunderstood character, despite being portrayed as a villain), and Twilight: Eclipse.
What is it about her that makes her such a great anatagonist? For one thing, there's the sweet factor. She looks demure and harmless, sickeningly so. Her red hair so natural. She's so perfect-looking that there's a bit of schadenfreude in rooting against her---someone so beautiful doesn't deserve to win in the end (and get to eat poo pie instead).
But the thing I think that makes her an especially great villain in movies is the nepotism that has gone into her off-camera career. Everyone knows she's Ron Howard's daughter (how could you not by that hair?). When audiences see her as Hilly, the overprivileged racist, it's already easy to "hate" her because she comes from privilege in real life. It's a quick jump to judgment, like Tori Spelling.
I'm not sure whether Dallas Howard likes playing villains or not, but I think she's found her niche. Ingenues come and go, but movies always need someone to hate. And since redheads could become extinct, that makes her all the more rare.
Peter Pentrice, played affably by Adam Pally, joined Fox's "The Mindy Project" last season, adding to the increasingly dude-centric cast.
But now there's going to be one less dude on set, with news of Pally ending his time as a regular cast member.
This is kind of surprising, since "Mindy" has appeared to find a bit of a groove with audiences after two seasons of revolving cast changes---that mostly involved women leaving.
However, if I were to get rid of one character on the show, it would be Ed Weeks' "Jeremy Reed" character, who offers very little to the series ensemble other than some across-the-pond diversity.
In fact, I've never quite understood his role on the show. Period. He's sometimes the voice of reason, sometimes chubby, sometimes just someone you hate. Really, he's always just there.
And while Reed once served as Mindy's f*** buddy, there's never any mention of this anymore given her current relationship with Danny Castellano, which would be an interesting episode if this were addressed. Reed's only storyline as of late has been stealing Peter Prentice's girlfriend, which doesn't paint him as a likable character.
In a show with a cast that has grown more inflated than the pregnant bellies these doctors treat, it's probably a good decision to cut back the cast. But if Peter is going away, why not take Jeremy with him?
The Pitch Perfect 2 trailer dropped last week, and while most people were getting pretty aca-stoked for May 15, I'm concerned with the plot of the sequel, which revolves around an international acapella competition.
Why do movie sequels always have to go international? I wonder this mainly because it very rarely works out.
Sex and the City 2 - Abu Dhabi. Hangover 2 - Bangkok. National Lampoon's European Vacation. Christ, Bad News Bears No. 3 - Japan. None of these movies are highly regarded as sequels, so why do producers keep going overseas when it never seems to connect with audiences?
Obviously, going international is probably a way to "up the stakes," so to speak. Another national acappella competition probably wouldn't seem exciting enough for Pitch Perfect 2, which is presumably why they're battling singers from around the world instead. Yet, do we really want to see them off the college campus? Isn't being on campus what made us all fall in love with Pitch Perfect to begin with?
I think what a lot of sequels get wrong is that they take our favorite characters and place them so far away from the original that they're nearly unrecognizable. Or in Home Alone 2's case, they place them so close to the original, that it's nearly a carbon copy of the first one.
So what would be a good plot for a sequel that doesn't involve going international? That's hard to say. But mostly I feel like sending a second movie overseas only means that the writers are out of ideas and trying to squeeze out as much as they can from a franchise. And that's the aca-truth.
Do you remember where you were when someone towel-dried your hair for the first time?
In Chapter 9, E.L. James spends about one and a half pages talking about this profound moment in Christian Grey's life. Plus, she also manages to tarnish the reputation of gone-too-soon singer Eva Cassidy by dragging her name through this dreck.
Also, in the podcast, we do a live recording of my reaction to the new Fifty Shades trailer, and debate whether this is Taylor:
Joey offends the population of men who wear boxers, oh, and Christian and Ana have sex on a boat.
Confession: I may or may not know more lyrics to Nicki Minaj's rap in "Dance (Ass)" remix than the lyrics to the National Anthem.
I think everything Nicki does is gold. She makes every song better, including Beyonce's "Flawless" remix (check out this video of when the music dropped out in concert and she just did it acapella).
So imagine my dismay when I came across a rapless remix on the radio of "Bang Bang" by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj. I readied myself for the "It's Myx Moscato" line and heard. . .nothing.
Just instrumental.
This conjured up the same feeling I used to get when TLC's "Waterfalls" would come on the radio and there'd be no "I seen a rainbow" part. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez's rap was reduced to 30 seconds of the airwaves weeping.
Why take Nicki Minaj's rap out of "Bang Bang"? I don't get it. Since it was a station known for its easy-listening songs, I wondered if it had to do with censorship, but then I looked at some of Ariana Grande's lyrics: "I've heard you've got a very big shhh." Plus, the song is called "Bang, Bang." They are not talking about toy guns.
What do you think of the rapless version of "Bang Bang"?
This first image from The Peanuts Movie due out in 2015 was released this week.
As a Charlie Brown fan, I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, I don't see any celebrity voices on the IMDB page, which is a big win in my book (no one wants to hear Seth Rogen do his shtick as Charlie Brown).
On the other hand, will The Peanuts be modernized, with smartphones and other shit? I suppose I could understand why, considering the limited appeal to kids in 2015. An update may be necessary because otherwise, why do a movie in the first place (which is probably my main beef)? But if they do modernize the characters like a Christmas tree made out of aluminum, doesn't this go against everything The Peanuts stood for?
While it's nice to think of a new generation discovering The Peanuts, I'm just not sure it'll connect. The Peanuts are known for being in smaller installments (like say, 30 minutes) on the small screen---not 90 minutes (or more) on the big screen. There's not a huge desire to see Charlie Brown and company on the big screen when we look forward to it on the small screen every holiday season.
What do you think of The Peanuts Movie? Do you feel like it's setting everyone up for disappointment like Lucy with the football?
"Set your DVRs now for the entire season."
This is the desperate line NBC used at the end of Monday night's "State of Affairs" premiere. Unfortunately, some are predicting that it won't overload your DVR recordings.
"State of Affairs" is a knock-off somewhere between "Scandal" and "Homeland," and while Katherine Heigl proves that there's a reason why she's still getting work (she's not a terrible actress---just a terrible person), there's nothing done on this show that hasn't been done before. Actually, the jargon is a little overdone. It's difficult following the lingo when you have no idea what's going on to begin with since it's a pilot (I just nodded and waited for Alfre Woodard to appear).
What I didn't like was how Katherine Heigl's character Charleston Tucker (actual name) seemed to lead with her emotions rather than her intellect. One of the reasons why she decided to save an American doctor from death---even if it could compromise progress with capturing an Osama bin Laden-type of character---was because the doctor looked like her deceased fiance, who was also the son of the president (Alfre Woodard). In the first 10 minutes, we see a cold-hearted Charleston, immune to terrorism stories as if it were local crime on the evening news. But then when hot doctor appears on screen, she becomes serious. She has to save him.
Obviously, this was a hard decision to make (save a life or save possibly many lives), but I felt like the show didn't show much conflict with her making this decision. It was just, "He looks like hot doctor---this has to happen."
The execution of the show is actually impressive for NBC. With so many shows and networks to contend with, NBC dramas often look rudimentary, but this one actually looks capable. I'm just not sure audiences will want to tune in for drama they can watch on the news. Some of it hits too close to home.
When Kim K's ass wasn't breaking the Internet this week, there was another news story that briefly made the rounds.
Brace yourself.
Eminem. Is feuding. With Lana Del Rey. And Azaelia Banks.
Photo courtesy of Yahoo
I know, I know. This is so unlike him. Except that it's pretty much exactly like him and what he's based his career on.
Recently, I listened to some old-school Eminem, like in the days of TRL and when Carson Daly was just the tool I had to see in the mid-afternoon instead of the early morning. I was astounded by how poorly the music had aged. Most of what Marshall Mathers sings about---other than sex, drugs, and violence---is popular celebrities from the time period.
Case in point: "The Real Slim Shady."
In this song, he namedrops the following:
All those who are still relevant, step forward (hold on there, Tom Green and Fred Durst).
In fact, Eminem even talks about downloading an MP3 like it's a novelty.
In "Without Me," same deal.
In this song, he namedrops the following:
Even in his darker shit like "The Way I Am," he namedrops Justin Timberlake's popular boy band, yet again ("I'm not Mr. 'NSYNC"). Someone has a bit of an obsession.
I've always thought of a piece of music being timeless. Even rap like "F*** the Police" by NWA is an important moment in music, transcending its late '80s/early '90s time period, because it tells a story and takes you back to a moment in history. (However, I would probably feel differently if Mandy Moore's name was randomly thrown in that song.)
Eminem's namedrops in the above songs are almost distracting, especially since many of the names were fly-by-night bands and figures (he even names "Pamela Lee" in "My Name Is" like she'll ALWAYS be married to Tommy Lee). Yet, he's become almost a legendary name in rap, even if his music does not stand the test of time--but isn't standing the test of time what makes someone "legendary"?
I suppose it's fitting that Kim K broke the Internet the week Eminem got into yet another feud because both of them have created careers out of controversy and getting people to talk. I only wish Eminem had more to say than a news brief on E! News. Maybe he'll include Kim K in his next song.
It almost seemed like a headline from The Onion. "A Spiderman-Less Aunt May Movie is Coming."
Read this out loud, and it's f***ing hilarious, like Garfield Minus John or when you remove one letter from movie titles. But this isn't a joke. This is real.
Hollywood is so desperate to sponge as much brand recognition as possible that it would do a spin-off origin movie around a pretty marginal character, set in the decade of "Mad Men." And we all bitched about remakes? This could actually be even worse than those, especially if even less time and effort is put into coming up with a compelling plot.
But you know what's just the absolute worst part: That Hollywood is doing a movie with a female lead. . .based purely on the name recognition of a male lead. Otherwise, this movie would not even be going into production. We still can't get a Wonder Woman movie or any other female superhero film off the ground. . .but we can do one about Aunt May.
The question is: Would audiences head to the cineplex to see this side character? I could see some fanboys going on the off-chance of spotting something Spidey-oriented, the same way people turned out for Prometheus for its connection to Alien. But could Aunt May be a big draw? And if this would work out, when could we expect an Uncle Ben film?

Taisiya Osipova sits behind bars at a courtroom in Russian western city of Smolensk, on Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012.

Russian opposition activist jailed for 8 years on drug charge
Russian opposition activist Osipova gets eight years in prison

Associates say Russian opposition member Udaltsov detained on Russian-Ukrainian border
MOSCOW — A Russian opposition activist was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison in an appeal of her drug-related case —twice as long as prosecutors had requested in a ruling that drew immediate opposition outrage.
Taisiya Osipova and her supporters have maintained that police planted four grams of heroin in her home in 2010 in revenge for her refusal to testify against her husband, Sergei Fomchenkov, also an activist with The Other Russia opposition movement. A witness for the defense testified at the trial that he saw a police officer put the drugs in Osipova's apartment.
Eduard Limonov, the leader of The Other Russia party, told Interfax on Tuesday that "this verdict is not only a political one, it's also terrifying revenge."
Fomchenkov reported the verdict on his Twitter account. The court in Smolensk was not available to confirm the verdict.
Prosecutors had asked for four years in prison for Osipova.
Osipova, 28, has been in jail since her arrest in 2010 and was originally sentenced to ten years in jail in December 2011. A higher court in February overturned that decision, ordering a review of her case, while Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview that the sentence was too harsh.
Left-wing opposition leader Sergei Udaltsov described the verdict in his Twitter as "a triumph of lawlessness and cynicism."
Osipova was one of the most prominent names on a list of people activists described as political prisoners submitted to then-President Medvedev in February.
Mikhail Fedotov, head of the presidential council on human rights, in an interview with the Interfax news agency on Tuesday described the verdict as a "legal mistake."

Workers' comp costs fall over time
|| Print |
|Articles - November 2010
|Thursday, October 21, 2010
The cost of workers' compensation insurance for most Oregon employers will remain flat in 2011, according to the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), which sets those rates for every industry in the state. Average pure premiums will fall 1.8%, but because reduced payrolls have lowered department revenue, the premium assessment to fund workers' comp and workplace safety programs will rise 1.8 percentage points. Premiums have fallen largely due to a 58% drop in the rate of workplace injuries since the 1980s. In 1990, major reforms were put in place, including an innovative return-to-work program, the state workplace safety program (Oregon OSHA) and a dispute resolution process. Almost 20 years later in 2008, Oregon's rates were 13th-lowest in the U.S. While DCBS sets rates, employers can purchase workers' comp coverage from private insurers or SAIF Corp., a not-for-profit, state-chartered company that issues nearly half the state's policies. About 15% of employers elect to self-insure.

from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
Malkin, the second overall pick in 2004, is a sublimely gifted center who some scouts believe to be the equal of Alexander Ovechkin. If he signs, it'll be one more giant step toward respectability for the Pens. It will also represent a major failure for the league. Despite his stated desire to play in Pittsburgh, Malkin's arrival is not a sure thing, at least not yet. At issue: The absence of a signed player transfer agreement between the Russian Ice Hockey Federation and the NHL.read on

from Jeff Gordon of St. Louis Today,
By signing free-agent winger Martin Rucinsky, the Blues finally gained the critical mass of offense needed to compete next season. This move was astute on several levels. Rucinsky is a smart all-around player who fit in nicely during his earlier stint with the Blues. He isn't a big-time goal scorer -– his career high is just 28 -- but he complements skilled players well.continued

Roger Neilson, the late Ottawa Senators assistant coach, paved a new way of coaching when he regularly used video as a teaching tool. In 2006, the use of video to illustrate what coaches want from their players continues. "Teams often change strategies from the last time you played them; watching video can give the players an idea of what to expect against a certain club," Ottawa Senators video coach Tim Pattyson says. "We show our guys clips from the most recent games the opposition has played and that gives us a better idea of what they're going to do.continued...nice breakdown on what the video coach does...

from the Simcoe Reformer,
NHL tough guy and local hockey hero Ryan VandenBussche is training hard and waiting -- waiting to see how he heals from neck surgery, waiting for a decent contract offer from a big-league club, and waiting for a court date on charges of assaulting police. VandenBussche, 33, is undaunted. The unsigned free agent says he believes he still can play in the NHL. He is optimistic and upbeat but also realistic about the future of his career. As general managers peruse the free agent market this summer, "players like me are on the back burner," he acknowledges.continued

Thursday's news that the Sabres conceded defeat in the Daniel Briere arbitration ruling, deciding to pick-up the shifty centerman's $5 million salary for one season, brings Regier closer to the mountain's edge. Next stop, he and that pick-ax are headed for a nose dive.continued

Oilers centre Shawn Horcoff and ex-Oilers tough guy Georges Laraque, now of the Phoenix Coyotes, added two, one-hour sessions of hatha yoga a week to their rigorous off-season training at the Body by Bennett fitness studio in downtown Edmonton. They get around the humiliation factor by doing their yoga work a deux -- just the two of them and their instructor, Breanna Johnson. "Yoga is no longer seen as a sissy, weak-kneed, wimpy workout," Bennett said. "We used to call it flexibility training and we realize now that 10 minutes of stretching just won't cut it. "You need to invest in it just as you would your strength elements." In the New NHL, mobility, quickness and skill are golden, so players all over the league are tweaking their workouts to de-emphasize simply pounding on the muscle massmore

High school football: U.S. Grant, Capitol Hill to play independent for 4 years
The expectation of OKCPS is that the schedule changes will help the teams to build interest and involvement from high school and middle school students, with the hope of keeping them active throughout their high school years — a common problem for the programs currently.
"We have a concerted effort at the middle school level," Sinor said. "We've got to start giving those kids the help and instruction they need through coaching, camps and clinics, that once they enter high school, they're on the same starting level as their counterparts in the suburban areas."
"I'm just thankful for the OSSAA's help. I'm excited about the future."

Here We Build regional arena coalition formed
Send this to a friend
- Kelly Johnson, Staff writer
A regional coalition assigned the task of finding a financing plan for a new downtown arena has been formed, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced Tuesday, along with many members of that new group.
Here We Build is a 60-member coalition led by co-chairs state Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat, and state Senator Ted Gaines, a Roseville Republican.
The group's executive director is Chris Lehane, who was co-chair of the mayor's arena task force.
The coalition will include elected and non-elected officials from local, county and state government and leaders from business and labor. The six counties represented are Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba and Sutter.
Many members of the coalition spoke along with Johnson at a news conference Tuesday at the California Railroad Museum.
"The clock is ticking," Johnson said.
The National Basketball Association gave Sacramento a March 2012 deadline to come up with an arena plan. If Sacramento doesn't find a way to replace the aging Power Balance Pavilion, the league will give its blessing to the Sacramento Kings to relocate.
During the next 100 days, Here We Build will work together as a region in a transparent fashion and putting taxpayers first to find a private-public funding plan, Johnson said.
"We need to think big, act big, be big," Johnson said.
"It's time for everyone to get on board," Steinberg said.
West Sacramento couldn't have gotten Raley Field built by doing it alone, and neither can the city of Sacramento alone get a sports and entertainment center built, West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon said. The home to the Sacramento River Cats Triple-A baseball team got a stadium through regional collaboration and risk tasking, he said.

Between the blueprint of the genome and the products of its expression lie microRNAs, which can boost or lower the rate at which genes become stuff. In fact, many cancers use microRNA to magnify the expression of faulty genes or shrink the expression of helpful genes that would otherwise suppress tumors. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published in the December issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that in medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor of children, microRNA-218 is especially low. The article also shows that adding microRNA-218 to neural stem cells engineered to develop medulloblastoma decreases the development of the cancer.
"For the past five years, we've been looking at microRNAs in medulloblastoma, asking how they are normally expressed and how this expression differs in the disease. One of the microRNA's most different in the medulloblastoma is microRNA-218," says Rajeev Vibhakar, MD, PhD, MPH, investigator at the CU Cancer Center, assistant professor of pediatrics at the CU School of Medicine, and the paper's senior author.
When Vibhakar and colleagues inquired into the effects of lower microRNA-218 levels, they found its involvement in pathways that signal the metabolism, growth, migration and invasion of tumor tissues. MicroRNA-218 is a tumor suppressor – low miRNA-218 equals low function in a range of tumor suppressor genes, equals high tumor growth.
In fact, the group found 618 genes whose expression was manipulated by microRNA-218.
"One of these genes was CDK6," Vibhakar says. Finding a gene target is especially important because whereas it's difficult to drug microRNA it's fairly simple to drug genes. As it turned out, Pfizer already had a drug that targets CDK6 and in a follow-up study published in the Journal of NeuroOncology, when Vibhakar and colleagues tested the drug in medulloblastoma cells, they found reduced cancer cell survival.
"Especially important is the fact that the drug led to increased radiation sensitivity in cancer cells," Vibhakar says. "Because medulloblastoma is most common in children and because high doses of radiation in children can have adverse long-term side effects, the prospect of a drug that could reduce the intensity of the required radiation is very appealing."
For similar reasons, despite the finding of a druggable target, the group plans to continue its work with microRNA-218. Specifically, the microRNA seems involved in cancer cell migration and invasion – because medulloblastoma is aggressively metastatic along the spinal cord, any advances in stopping the march of the disease from the brain could lead to major patient gains, especially in pediatric patients.
"Also interesting is the fact that studies of microRNA are leading us to genes implicated in cancer that we may not have discovered otherwise," Vibhakar says. In many ways this is the reverse of the traditional workflow in discovering a druggable target. Usually, a researcher would explore for genetic abnormalities and then if needed search inside the gene's signaling chain for a way to turn it on or off. With microRNA, researchers look first for abnormalities in the signaling chain, and then work higher in the system to discover the associated genetic abnormalities and their functions.
Because many of the pathways affected by microRNA-218 are common across many types of cancer, the findings may have implications far beyond medulloblastoma.

GBP 50 million for share buy-back over the next twelve months
In the period of the next twelve months, Betfair will pursue its share re-purchase program, which will be conducted on the open market. This comes after a drop in share prices since its IPO in October 2010, and the company plans to buy back GBP 50 million of its ordinary shares.
According to Betfair's CEO David Yu, "We have a plan in place to deliver long-term shareholder value through a combination of accelerating our revenue growth, driving further margin improvement and returning excess cash to shareholders.
"The share buy-back programme is one element of this plan. We have always been a very cash generative business which allows us to both invest for the future and return cash to shareholders."

Malaysian Airlines Flight 370: Air Carrier Offers Cash, Caregiver Support to Families of 239 Passengers & Crew; CEO to Decide Later If He Will Quit or Stay
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | March 25, 2014 8:19 PM EST
Following the Monday night TV announcement by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak that the missing Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 jet likely crashed into the Indian Ocean, families of the 239 passenger and crew expressed grief and anger.
A family member of a passenger aboard Malaysia Airlines MH370 shouts at journalists after watching a television broadcast of a news conference, at the Lido hotel in Beijing, March 24, 2014. Relatives of Chinese passengers aboard the missing Malaysia Airlines flight reacted with hysteria on Monday after the Malaysian prime minister announced the jet ended its journey in the remote Southern Indian Ocean. REUTERS/Jason Lee (CHINA - Tags: TRANSPORT DISASTER MEDIA march 24, 2014
On Tuesday, a protest was held infront of the Malaysian embassy in Beijing, attended by relatives of passengers of the ill-fated flight.
The embattled Malaysian Airlines, in a bid to appease the angry kin, offered a comprehensive support programme for the relatives made up of an initial $5,000 financial assistance and two dedicated caregivers assigned per family to provide care, support and counsel.
Malaysian Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said at a press conference in Malaysia that the air carrier will continue to shoulder the hotel accommodation for up to 5 family members per passenger, transportation, meals and other expenses since the jet went missing on March 8.
He disclosed that the air carrier has been supporting over 900 people under the programme. It also trained 40 more caregivers to ensure the grieving families have available round-the-clock support.
Mr Yahya added, "We recognize that financial support is not the only consideration. But the prolonged search is naturally placing financial strain on the relatives. We are therefore preparing to offer additional payments as the search continues."
Despite the declaration that the jet crashed, the search for the missing plane will go on. And if investigating authorities would later approve, the company would shoulder arrangements to bring the families of the crash victims to the recovery area.
Meanwhile, when asked if he would quit over the air mishap, Mr Yahya said he would decide later if he would stay or resign as CEO of Malaysian Airlines, presumably so he could oversee the search for the jet.
Also on Tuesday, China demanded that Malaysia turn over the satellite data it used to reach the conclusion that the Boeing 777 crashed in the Indian Ocean and killed everyone on board.

Mr.D'Ambrosio finally received my email (and/or letter).
As a result, he assigned this incident to a Blue Ribbon assistant who was able to initiate corrective action. His decision: refund the cost of the purchased water heater to my credit card that day.
This obviously is the solution which addresses Total Customer Satisfaction.I am satisfied; but appalled by the inability of lower level employees of Sears Holding Corporation to take this same action, weeks earlier.
Dear Mr. D'Ambrosio and Sears Holding Board Members,
Sears water heater failed on June 16th. House would flood if tank not drained that day.
Water Heater was under warranty.
Repair by Sears would take 2 to 3 weeks. (Omak, WA is Rural America) 1st available technician appointment June 28. After this appointment, a replacement would be ordered and upon arrival at local Sears, installed by Sears contract plumber.
No comparable Sears water heater available locally.
New water heater purchased at Ace and installed by Sears approved plumber that day.
Since Sears was unable to respond to the failure in a timely fashion, even for an emergency, I again ask that Sears pay for the replacement water heater.
So far, the only answer received has been "We cannot do that". This response has always been over the phone (no caller ID), never in a letter or email and never with any additional explanation or last name of the caller!
Put yourself into the same situation. What would you expect an iconic company to do?
I suspect it would be: Service you with a timely repair. Or if unable to do so, compensate you after you took emergency corrective action.
Please prevail upon the Sears Repair organization to provide the $366.17 cost of the emergency purchase of a water heater by an over 90 senior living on a very limited income.c1cf1f9

CEO finally received message and Top tier of Executive Office, a Blue Ribbon Service Case Manager (NOT Anthony V mentioned above) examined the situation.
Thinking and acting outside the box, he agree that there should be payment for the water heater installed in the emergency. This payment has already occurred!
Thank you for the customer friendly resolution.
BTW, there should be an easier way to reach this organization for special cases.
Vicinomak Aug 23, 2012
Kira, with Sears Teleserv in Austin, TX called 8/23. Said she was with Sears Executive Office (though the Executive Office is located in Hoffman Estates, IL).
Kira could do nothing. Case open and she had to have Case Manager Anthony V call. She could not furnish his phone number. So much for employee empowerment.
She also could not explain what a 12 year warranty on a Sears water heater meant. (See page 32 in the manual).

Childrens Theatre Workshop Starting
Sunday, February 17, 2013 - 10:24 Updated 1 year ago Edited from a Press Release
Starting March 2, and continuing every other Saturday through May 25, ARTS will be coordinating a Peanut Butter and Jelly Children's Theatre Workshop called "PB&J."
"The concept of this program is to feed the mind and body, as well as the creative spirit. Part of ARTS' mission is to educate," explained Tera Grasser, an instructor and first vice president for ARTS.
"The format of this workshop will help youngsters identify aspects of the fine arts that they would like to pursue as they grow into our intermediate and advanced classes."
PB&J – which will serve peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while also feeding the creative impulses of children in grades kindergarten through third – will take place at 900 8th Street, Suite 100, the site of the old Huntington High School.
The cost of the workshop is $50 for seven bi-weekly sessions from March through May. All materials needed for the workshops, including the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a T-shirt, are provided by ARTS.
ARTS seeks to promote and facilitate performing and fine arts in the tri-state region through education.
There is no deadline for registration, but space is limited.
For more information, contact Grasser at 304-733-ARTS (2787).

Main thing for U.S.A. is political control over Iran
March 1, 2007 - 14:50 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Again and again America does not stop proving its hegemony over the whole world. Here first of all the invasion of Iran serves as one more evidence and the world media has been reporting that agents and various groups have already working actively in Iran, examining the country from inside, specialist in Persian philology Tadevos Charchyan told in the interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net He said, in this issue oil plays the most insignificant role, since it is not a secret that currently superpowers and developed countries do not have oil at all. "I think, most likely political aspects and control over Iranian military engine is on the first place of U.S. priorities. There is one more important moment. With the help of threats the United States wants to once again show Iran that they are capable to simultaneously lead a war in several directions and one more time to exert pressure on Iraq. In its part such a turnover of events can quickly play an important role in reaching the main goal in Iraq.

The last Evangelion game to be announced for the DS was a cute minigame collection based on an SD comedy spinoff of the series, taking the characters out of the world-saving storyline and putting all the characters together in an elementary school. The next game using the license, then, must be the real one, some kind of robot-filled RPG that retells the epic storyline of the anime and manga, right? Or, like, a big robot fighting game?
Nope! It's pachinko. A PS2 pachinko port, to be precise. Hisshou Pachinko/Pachislot Series 1: Shinseiki Evangelion - Magokoro wo, Kimi ni debuted as a pachislot machine, then was released by D3 as a PS2 game in September. It may seem like a miss to people who want substantial Eva games, but this is probably going to sell.

An apparent bolt of lighting during Wednesday night's thunderstorm destroyed the massive River Ranch home of retired tennis pro Chanda Rubin.
Chanda completed the Worth Avenue home about 2.5 years ago. The former top 10 player's signature smile Thursday morning belies the anguish of losing her dream home, which took two years to complete and had just received some finishing touches."She was just beginning to enjoy it," says Bernadette Rubin, Chanda's mom.
Chanda, 34, says she is unsure whether she will rebuild at the site, though she is confident she has adequate insurance coverage. "I'm going to take it one day at a time," she says.
Thursday morning, Chanda and her family members, among whom was her father, District Judge Ed Rubin, were trying to salvage what little remains of the home's contents. The bulk of her professional memorabilia, including trophies and images with the numerous celebrities she rubbed elbows with over the years, is still at her parents' home, and some of what was in her home was spared. The upstairs of the home appears to be a total loss, and the bottom floor sustained major smoke and water damage. "It's only things," mom Bernadette says. "She's young; she can start over again."
At about 9 p.m. Wednesday Chanda was alone in the home, in bed watching TV, when the home's heat sensor went off. "That was the first indicator," she says. She soon heard water in the upstairs attic, about the same time lights began flickering. She called 9-1-1 and got out of the house when she saw a haze of smoke coming from a light can. She drove one of her two vehicles away from the home. "That's when I saw the smoke coming from the roof," she says. Chanda stayed for a while as firefighters battled the blaze but left the scene and stayed with friends in the neighborhood. The fire burned for about two hours.
In 1996, Rubin reached as high as No. 6 in the rankings. In a story about the fire, the Associated Press reported Thursday that her deepest run at a Grand Slam came that year [1996], when she reached the semifinals at the Australian Open. She won the Eastbourne International tournament in 2002, AP noted, and her last singles titles were in Eastbourne and Madrid in 2003.
The AP reported that she withdrew from a half-dozen tournaments this year due to a number of injuries.
Rubin was honored as a trailblazer by ABiz, The Independent Weekly's sister publication, in 2008, about the time she was transitioning to life off the professional circuit. Read that profile here and view additional video footage and images from the fire and its aftermath on The Independent's Facebook page here. Below is a video clip of the destroyed home, which concludes with Chanda retrieving what she calls a "pristine" pair of tennis shoes — a sign, perhaps, that the class act tennis player will keep swinging.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.

NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

'Trail Angels' watch over Pacific Crest Trail hikers; couple help save Japanese man
Hikers who make the 2,600-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada are often helped by residents along the way known as "trail angels."
Hikers who make the 2,600-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada are often helped by residents along the way known as "trail angels."
A retired couple, Jerry and Andrea Dinsmore, host dozen of hikers each year at Baring, in Snohomish County.
The Daily Herald reports they helped save the life of a Japanese hiker who became bogged down in snow on what was supposed to be a five-day solo trek. The alerted authorities when he was overdue.
Snohomish County sheriff's deputies and volunteers with Everett Mountain Rescue went looking for him last week. At one point they saw tracks in the snow, but they were the tracks of a large black bear.
The hiker, Takahisa Nezu, was spotted by a helicopter last Friday and rescued.
