CALIFORNIA BABY: The Gymboree is getting a lot more colorful now that Rachel Pally is launching a baby line. Pally, who built her 14-year-old contemporary business on chic but comfortable jersey separates, has her own fit model to thank: her 10-month-old son, Tao. After scouring Etsy for cute pants to help her son stand out, she decided to create her own onesies, tees, pants, dresses and blankets that pop with fun prints such as digitally enhanced tie dyes and cartoon-like arrowheads. The brand extension is also an easy segue from dressing expecting moms such as Angelina Jolie and Molly Sims in her maternity frocks to outfitting their tots in the same stretchy Modal jersey. Retailing from $29 to $80, the baby line will be introduced on Pally's Web site in February. For an exact mommy and me look, some of the prints even match those in the women's line. Still, Pally said, "It's fun to find something that none of the other kids in his class are wearing."

WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Security Agency on Friday said its tracking of cellphones overseas is legally authorized under a sweeping U.S. presidential order. The distinction means the extraordinary surveillance program is not overseen by a secretive U.S. intelligence court but is regulated by some U.S. lawmakers, Obama administration insiders and inspectors general.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Under pressure from the wind-power industry, the Obama administration said Friday it will allow companies to kill or injure eagles without the fear of prosecution for up to three decades.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Happy or sad? Content or bored? And how many times did you smile yesterday? A panel of experts thinks Uncle Sam should be more in touch with our feelings.
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A court-appointed guardian is dropping her attempt to force an 11-year-old Amish girl with leukemia to resume chemotherapy after she and her parents fled their home to avoid treatment.
CHICAGO (AP) - In a private ceremony attended by a handful of lawmakers, Gov. Pat Quinn signed landmark legislation Thursday to reform Illinois' massively-underfunded pension system, though labor unions immediately threatened a lawsuit challenging the new law.
From California to Ohio, a big chunk of the U.S. is getting a blast of wintry weather. Frigid temperatures are following a storm that's bringing snow and ice to many areas. The conditions are making travel difficult, raising concerns about citrus crops and prompting the cancellation of fights, holiday festivities and football games. Even one outdoor ice rink in cold-accustomed South Dakota is shutting down.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - With the wind chill falling to almost minus 40, Steve Hendershot's mind was elsewhere Thursday as he and his crew of roustabouts worked an oil rig in North Dakota's booming oil patch.
Fast-food NEW YORK (AP) - Fast-food workers and labor organizers marched, waved signs and chanted in cities across the country on Thursday in a push for higher wages.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. economy is growing faster, corporate profits are rising and companies are laying off the fewest workers in six years.
VISALIA (AP) - Officials say temperatures in the citrus-rich San Joaquin Valley dropped to the low 20s overnight, but it was too early to tell whether there was any crop damage.
NEW YORK (AP) - William Bratton, whose tenure as New York City police commissioner in the 1990s was marked by a steep decline in crime and clashes with then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, has been chosen to lead the nation's largest police force again.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The passage of a landmark bill to address Illinois' worst-in-the-nation pension crisis means the yearslong fight over how to address the massive shortfall now likely shifts to the courts, where its fate - and much-needed relief for the financially troubled state - remains highly uncertain.
ELOY, Ariz. (AP) - Skydivers from around the world returned to the air Wednesday at a popular Arizona skydiving location that was the site of a deadly mishap involving two parachutists a day earlier.
CHICAGO (AP) - New research on face transplants may help guide future operations for accident victims needing this kind of drastic surgery.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A young offender accused of raping a woman during a supervised group outing to a University of Oregon football game pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday in Eugene.
DETROIT (AP) - Cadillac wants a jolt from the city that never sleeps.
NEW YORK (AP) - Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper said Tuesday they'll work to reduce the calories Americans get from beverages by 20 percent over the next decade by more aggressively marketing smaller sizes, bottled water and diet drinks.
PALM SPRINGS (AP) - State and federal officials sought Tuesday to bring order to California's boom for renewable-energy plants in the Mojave and other southern California deserts, releasing a roadmap covering 22.5 million acres that designates some areas for large-scale solar, wind and geothermal plants and others for conservation of desert habitat and animals.
CUPERTINO (AP) - Apple's largest iPhone is selling for $100 more than its other new model, but an outside research firm estimated Tuesday that it costs Apple only $15.50 more to make the more expensive version.

Garmin nuvi 295W Is The G60 Sans 3G Connectivity
Garmin's nüvi 295W GPS sports the same form factor as their G60 but lacks the 3G connectivity and oh, the ability to make calls. But this is good news for those of you looking for a pocket sized GPS device to compliment your dumb phone since it's contract free. It will set you back $280, but for that you'll get a 3.5-inch touchscreen, WiFi, a 3 megapixel camera with geo tagging, MP3 player with headphone jack and all the other fixings you have come to expect from a Garmin GPS device.
You can order it now, but it won't release until 5/16.

Pride London apologises for trans toilet drama
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Transphobia really angers me – there's no need for it. Loving Roz's sense of humour tho – go girl!
I guess that this sometimes happens at such a big event. you can't guarantee everything will be perfect no matter how much you try. I think I feel sorry for both sides so glad it looks like lesson learnt and move on to making sure it dont happen again.
No mention of the problem with the policeman who attended and asked to see Roz's Gender reasignment cert which is against the Law!
Even if you put transwomen in the women's loo and transmen in the men's loo, what happens to the trans-whatsits? The boths, the neithers, the beards-and-dresses, and so forth? Demanding everyone fit into the (even re-assigned!) gender binary on Pride day is a bit harsh. Perhaps somebody ought to get up a campaign for unisex loos?
wasnt this a little britain sketch, or am i getting my trans whatsits mixed up?
There were loads of unisex toilets at the event – banks of them up at Soho and on Trafalgar Square behind the stage bit. It's only these ones which were there already that have male and female. Maybe they should be closed on the day to force everyone to use the unisex ones and save any rows.
"We hold very dearly our commitment to equality.
yeah, right. As long as the people aren;'t trans or anything.
Silly f@gs, hate and CYA lying are wrong.
Silly f@gs
Discrimination, hatred, name calling. All wrong. Don't use this as an excuse to divide the LGBT. Shame on you Alyssa! Shame on you…

Multiple Emmy Award winner Ed Asner ("Mary Tyler Moore," "Lou Grant") will guest star on HAWAII FIVE-0 in the Spring. Asner will reprise his role of August March, a character he played in an episode of the original "Hawaii Five-0" in 1975, called "Wooden Model of a Rat."
In a first for the series, footage from the 1975 episode featuring Asner and his character's backstory will be used, showing him as an up-and-coming world class smuggler. Now a reformed man after serving 30 years in prison for murder, March lives on O'ahu and is approached by the Five-0 to assist on a smuggling case.
"It is thrilling to, for the first time, merge the original 'Hawaii Five-0' and our new show by having the classic, versatile and award-winning actor Ed Asner reprise his role of August March, a character Mr. Asner first played 36 years ago. There is no better way to form a bridge between our reboot and the original series," said Executive Producer Peter Lenkov. HAWAII FIVE-0, now in its second season, stars Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park and Masi Oka and airs Mondays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Contractors who are looking to bid, or who must report, on federal stimulus projects can find help online with two federal portals: www.recovery.gov and www.federalreporting.gov.
FederalRecovery.gov, which was revamped Sept. 28, 2009, allows users to find stimulus projects by congressional district, state or ZIP code. Visitors can use its mapping application to find stimulus projects in their local communities.
As of Oct. 1, companies that receive federal stimulus funds were required to begin filing reports on FederalReporting.gov.
Subcontractors on stimulus projects whose prime contractors will not report on their behalf must register on the federal reporting Web site with a company name, e-mail address, DUNS number and Central Contractor Registration number. Once registered, subcontractors must report the company's physical address, award number, project location, amount of Recovery Act funds used, and the number of jobs created or retained.
For more information, visit www.federalrecovery.gov or www.federalreporting.gov.

Three Killed as Taliban Destroy NATO Helicopter at Bagram
Two NATO Soldiers Also Wounded in Attack
Just hours after the official celebration commemorating the phony transfer of Bagram Prison to Afghan control, the Taliban opened fire on a NATO helicopter at the adjacent Bagram airfield, downing and destroying it, and killing three Afghans on board. Two NATO soldiers were also wounded.
NATO offered few details on the attack, saying that they came under fire from "munitions" and that they had yet to determine exactly what they were attacked with. The Taliban said they used rockets.
The CH-47 Chinook helicopter was apparently not destroyed immediately, but was set on fire by the attack, which eventually rendered the $35 million transport helicopter completely destroyed.
NATO declined to specify the types of injuries suffered by the wounded NATO soldiers, and also refused to say what sort of mission they were on. Some reports have characterized the Afghans killed as "intelligence officials."

5th helicopter destroyed in less than a month.
The Taliban, and every Afghani should do everything in their power to undermine the US, and NATO terrorist invasion, and send them packing. This occupation has only benefited the war profiteers and those congressmen/senators getting paybacks for their upcoming elections. Overall it has beena complete travesty, and must be stopped.
Oh, well. If they hadn't been there, it would have never happened.

Any timely advice on the following situation is greatly appreciated:
As the buyer, I am currently in a contract to purchase a condo for $66,000 and the seller is to pay $2,000 towards closing. The seller has agreed to this and has signed the contract.
Upon having the property inspected it was determined that the A/C needed servicing. We presented this to the seller (along with other things that needed fixing). He agreed to fix everything on the list, and said he was going to 'replace' the air conditioner, but then stated that he was not going to pay the $2,000 toward closing costs.
As it turns out, the same phone call that we learned of the sellers intentions to replace the A/C, his realtor said ....'in fact he has already started.' Sure enough I drove by and a new unit had been installed. This is within 48 hours of us giving him the list of deficiencies.
Since he did that (and is now not going to pay closing), it sticks me with having to come up with $2,000 more that I originally did not have to come up with. Furthermore, perhaps I would have settled with having the current A/C unit 'serviced' (much cheaper) since I was going to buy a home warranty anyway. Now that option is gone.
In effect the seller is agreeing to fix something and then asking me to pay for it (only he's not asking, he did it).
It is common sense that a house with a broken A/C will not bring the same price as a house with an A/C that works properly.
He certainly did not advertise 'Condo for sale with A/C not working too good.'
When we negotiated and came to a meeting place on the price, it is understood to mean a house in sound mechanical order. Once discovered that the A/C unit needed servicing, I believe it to be the borrower's responsibility to fix it, and that he has no right to ask me to pay for it (outright or any other way - him backing out of paying closing).
At a bare minimum I feel he should have presented me with the option. 1. A new A/C or 2. $2,000 towards closing.
To make a point, I asked my realtor "Can he also put in marble floors and gold plate the bathtub and then tell me he wants $100,000 now?"
I don't want to back out of the contract. I want the seller to be held responsible to the original deal.
What do you think?

When the news came out about Domino's new Specialty Chicken dish, we at Men's Health decided to do some cold, hard investigative research on the mystery food. (Read: We absolutely see it for ourselves.) Only, when it arrived to our offices, we were disappointed by its lackluster lumpiness. Maybe Domino's was a little liberal with the description of the dish in its press release as "one of the most creative, innovative menu items" the company ever made.
While we eagerly expected a 12-inch pizza with fried chicken as the new doughy base, what we received was a small, soggy side of chicken nuggets drenched in the normal fare of pizza fixings. Disappointed faces surrounded the table as we anticipated a mind-blowing pizza concoction that ended up looking like lukewarm leftovers.
As for calories, a serving of this chicken dish has between 170 and 230 calories, depending on your topping of choice. However, a "serving" is just four nuggets, and the box contains three servings. So if you eat the full box—12 nuggets—it'll run you between 510 and 690 calories.
All of this made us wonder what's driving the current surge of seemingly-strange food combinations like Taco Bell's Waffle Taco, Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, or the infamous KFC Double Down (a chicken sandwich in which the chicken takes the place of the bread)—the one that started it all.
Food concocting—or creating strange mixtures like pretzels covered in mayonnaise and salsa—is actually linked to binge eating behavior as well as intense negative self-perception, found one recent study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "The emotions [the participants] reported after eating strange mixtures were more intensely negative, self-deprecating, and disparaging," the study authors wrote. Eaters like this also experienced depression, as well as feelings of disgust and guilt.
That's not to say that splurging on an only-if-you-dare food combination every once in a while will doom you. But making it a habit could impact more than your waistline. Healthy people who ate junk food for 5 consecutive days performed worse on cognitive tests measuring attention, speed, and mood, according to research from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The high amounts of fat and sugar found in junk food could potentially damage the hippocampus, an area of the brain that helps to regulate mood, memory, and signal when you're hungry or full.

Question & Answers with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Sometimes you get bored of sitting at your home and you go for a walk. But then you come back. If you don't come back home then people like us come to take you back home.
My dear, you are asking me to tell you question also! Is it your New Year resolution not to use your brain come what may? You want to borrow even questions! No way. The questions have to be yours. It's not school where they give you questions and you give answers. Here you have to come up with the question. And you don't have to; if it comes up in you then that is your question. Nobody can tell you what question you should ask, what you should prayer for or what you should seek. It is a spontaneous outcome from within. Need is not to be dictated by somebody or anybody. Need is that which arises from within. In reality when you come in this energy all questions in you disappears.
No, when you are a witness (sakshi) to the thoughts coming and going, no karma is formed. When you feel sad thinking that your thought is bad, it is then when your mind gets affected.
Try to convince your parents or try to understand why they are opposing. If they are doing this because of caste system or any superstition then you talk to them and make them understand. But if they have some other concern then you should try to understand their point of view also. Sometimes you are blindfolded when you fall in love. You are driven away by feelings and you cannot see what others can.
If you are not able to come to any conclusion then give time a chance. Have patience, relax and pray. Prayer has enormous power and it works.
To begin, look at it in the short term. Say for the next one month I am not going to do it. What gets us over an addiction?
You keep on doing service; others will automatically join. Don't make an effort to make others join you. You just do it and keep motivating others. Ask them if they want to come along. They will also come. If you are enjoying doing service, others will also get motivated to do it. Leaders should be like this. But usually they want so much perfection that they end up annoying every one. In this kind of service people come once and then they run away. Nobody wants to work with a person who is full of complaints. So serve along with fun. When happiness comes from within with regular Sadhna and Satsang, everything happens naturally.
Doesn't matter. Step by step, you will reach there someday. At least you are now aware that you doubt everybody. Doubt won't stay for a longer period. And when doubt is not there, faith naturally happens. It will happen on its own.
Prosperity and spirituality can coexist but greed and spirituality can't coexist. Unethical means of earning money and spirituality simply cannot coexist. If you have a factory or a business, you can continue do that and still be very ethical. You don't have to leave your industry, which may be giving employment to a few hundred or more people, for spirituality. There is no need of saying materialism is bad and leaving that you want to go towards spirituality. That is not at all necessary. You can continue doing your duty. This is what is expressed in one of the scriptures 'Ashtavakra' where Ashtavakra told king Janaka that he can be a king and be totally spiritual. King Janaka was the embodiment of the highest knowledge. There are many examples like this. What I usually say is 'keep money in your pocket and not in your heart or head'. When the money is wrongly placed that is when the problem arises. In India, materialism and spirituality are not in conflict with each other. Lakshmi – the symbol of material prosperity is portrayed pressing the feet of Narayana - the symbol of spirituality. We always say LaxmiNarayana which refers to the combination of wealth and spirit. But it is very important to note that greed and spirituality don't go together.
Unfortunately we associate negative tendencies like greed and jealousy with materialism. Even if you have to do charity, you can't do it with an empty bowl. How can you think of feeding ten hungry children with no money at hand? Is it not your dharma to feed them? In one of the ancient scriptures in India it is said 'Righteousness comes from wealth. Proper governance is the basis of the economy'. I think it is all connected. And the most important is the faith in the being, the highest self - the faith that I am going to get whatever I need and whenever I need. Then you give miracle a chance. Materialism is measuring every step too much. (Then you don't know when the stock market is going to crash and banks are going to be bankrupt.) Don't bank your faiths on the banks but bank your faith on the divinity and the power of your own sankalpa(positive sankalapa) and thoughts.
What I have observed is people who are into alcohol are very sad. Once the intoxication is gone, sadness dawns again and that too with greater amplitude. The aim of life is not to lose awareness but to live in awareness. To get rid of sorrow, awareness is needed. Intoxication will only stop it for a while and then it bounces back with even greater intensity. Alcohol spoils your health, makes your brain dull and gives rise to so many conflicts in the mind. It not only makes your life miserable but also the lives of those around you. If you want to lose your health and that too at your own expense then continue consuming alcohol.
People in villages earn a good income but they lose 60 percent in alcohol, and remain in poor financial and health conditions. You have a much better source of enjoyment – satsang. It gives joy to everybody – you and to people around. All other types of intoxications will seem dull in front of the intoxication you get in a satsang.
Don't worry. Everyone will come to the path slowly.

Box Office: 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1′ Scores Year's Biggest Opening With $123 Million
10 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ easily topped "Transformers: Age of Extinction" to secure the year's biggest domestic opening weekend.
The latest installment in the futuristic franchise earned $123 million across 4,151 locations, besting "Transformers'" $100 million debut from last summer. It's a massive number — only 14 films in history have earned more — but it's still a low point for the blockbuster series by a significant margin.
"The Hunger Games" racked up $152.5 million when it launched in 2012, while "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" snagged $158.1 when it bowed in 2013.
Heading into the weekend Lionsgate, the company behind the series, said it expected an opening between $130 million to $150 million, but most analysts pegged a debut of $150 million or more. Lionsgate argued that the projections are difficult to make when dealing with a sequel with this level of expectation and name recognition.

Disney's 'Into the Woods' Enters Awards Season on High Note
22 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Though "Into the Woods" debuted in 1986, it's "a fairy tale for the post-9/11 generation," said director Rob Marshall at a Q&A in New York after a screening of the film Saturday.
The panel session took place at the DGA Theater in New York and was satellite-fed to the Disney main theater in Burbank, a two-birds-with-one-stone approach as the film begins industry screenings for awards contention.
The director and his team of artisans will certainly be under Oscar consideration, as will Meryl Streep (top billed, but in a supporting role) and other performers. Variety will run its review in December; after that, there will be more opportunities to handicap the film's awards chances in specific categories.
Disney often takes a cautious approach to the awards race, but the studio execs seem gung-ho about this one. The film also marks a subtle shift for the studio. Its "Maleficent" earlier »

Best bit of Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' Ama number were her dancer's terrified faces

Taylor Swift was the opening musical act for the 2014 American Music Awards. The country turned pop sensation gave an eye-popping rendition of "Blank Space," a send-up to her public persona. But we were all so focused on the elaborate set pieces and Swift's convincing crazy eyes, we missed out on several obvious cries for help from the back-up dancers.

26 Female Artists on Lynda Benglis (Nsfw)
48 minutes ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
If you are a young or emergent artist working today, there's a pretty good chance you hadn't even been born when Lynda Benglis published her infamously naughty ad in Artforum in November 1974. The legendary work turns 40 this month, and we reached out to 26 female artists — some working in 1974, some born since — to ask what they made of it then, what it means to them now, and how, if at all, they thought the state of gender politics in the art world has changed in the years since.Originally, Benglis wanted the image to accompany an article written about her solo exhibition at Paula Cooper, but then-editor John Coplans refused, allowing only that the photograph appear as a paid advertisement. Several of the associate editors at the time considered the ad pornographic and unsuitable for the art magazine, which eventually resulted in art critics Rosalind Krauss »

Review: 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' - 'Uspis'
51 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
A review of tonight's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" coming up just as soon as I imagine a letter had unprotected sex with a phone... "Uspis" is a classical type of sitcom episode, one that's built around a beloved guest star coming in to do his schtick while all the regular characters react to him doing it. But what happens when the guest and/or his schtick aren't so beloved anymore? Once upon a time, I found Ed Helms funny. I'm sure that I did. I liked him as a "Daily Show" correspondent, liked him as the new irritant when Jim transferred to the Stamford branch on "The Office," even liked him to an extent after Andy became part of the main "Office" ensemble. But "The Office" ran Andy and his oblivious douchery into the ground long before that show ended (really, even before Helms was chosen to succeed Steve Carell as the »

'A Particle of Dread (Oedipus Variations)': Theater Review
51 minutes ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
It might be wise to reread Oedipus the King before seeing A Particle of Dread (Oedipus Variations), now receiving its American premiere courtesy of the Signature Theatre. Sam Shepard's aptly titled theatrical meditation on Sophocles' Greek tragedy is like a series of jazzy riffs on its inspiration, plumbing the existential emotions of the work while loosely adapting it to modern-day times. This oblique intellectual exercise is likely to prove off-putting to all but the most adventurous audiences, although Shepard completists will no doubt want to catch the latest offering from the playwright's ever-restless imagination.

Jennifer Lopez Flashes Her Incredible Abs at the 2014 AMAs—See Her Eight-Pack!

Yet, both of those things, while amazing in all ways, still took a backseat to the real magical moment here—this was Iggy's first win ever. Taking the stage with T.I., Iggy gave a sweet and touching acceptance speech that touched on her struggle to make it in the music industry. "This award is the first award I've ever won in my entire life and it means so much to me that it is for Best Hip-Hop, because that's »

Euros of Hollywood Star Bleona Qereti Copies Rose McGowan's Infamous Naked Dress—See the Pic!
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Forget best and worst dressed, guys—we're filing this one in our least dressed category. Euros of Hollywood star Bleona Qereti took to the 2014 American Music Awards red carpet wearing, well, not much at all. In fact, her sheer-net frock was so body-baring, we could not help but think back to Rose McGowan's naked dress at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. (Ah, the nineties: A simple time before bare butts became instant Internet memes.) Bleona, an Albanian singer who stars in the Bravo reality series, showed off her bod in a completely see-through frock and jewel-encrusted thong. And she took a note from Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, of course: Where there are nipples, there must be pasties. As for »

Taylor Swift's world domination continues.

Nicki Minaj Admits She Feels "Shy a Lot," Tells Fans She Isn't Done With Music Just Yet
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Nicki Minaj isn't exactly a stranger to wearing revealing clothing. She also isn't afraid to get a little sexy during her award show appearances. But while on the red carpet at the 2014 American Music Awards, the "Super Bass" rapper couldn't help but admit to feeling shy at some points in her career. "Yes and people don't know that," she told E! News exclusively. "I feel shy a lot of times actually. I just push myself to go for it." Pretty surprising answer, right? Giuliana Rancic followed up by asking the 31-year-old what scares her. "Being away from my family and people who love me and love me the most," she shared. "So I'm going to »
American Music Awards 2014 red carpet arrivals
1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Tonight's American Music Awards featured, as awards shows do, a red carpet arrival. That means that fashion was on display, and yes, there was the good, the bad, and the ugly. Unlike something like the Academy Awards, the American Music Awards are one of those events where you will see folks at various levels of dressiness. So, on the one end of things, you have someone like Frankie J. Grande who showed up in body paint, whereas on the other you have a Selena Gomez who wore a formal black dress. Scroll through the gallery below and you'll see that gamut, from the body paint and a couple of t-shirt and pants combos to far more formal wear. Don't be shy, tell us your favorites. »

Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" Performance at the 2014 AMAs Was on Fire! See the Sexy Pics
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Taylor Swift was on fire during tonight's 2014 American Music Awards with her first-time-ever performance of "Blank Space"! The 24-year-old singer opened Sunday's show by performing her new hit song for the first time ever in public. Swift looked gorgeous in a bronze dress that featured beaded detailing on the bust and a red lip. Swift's performance was clearly inspired by her "Blank Space" music video and began with her sitting across from a male suitor at a long formal dinner table framed by a giant picture frame. "Nice to meet you, where you been/ I could show you incredible things," Swift sang. "Magic, madness, heaven, sin/ Saw you there and I thought/ Oh my God, »
The Strange Intimacy of 'Serial'
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
My wife Heather and I are both avid listeners of "Serial," the NPR podcast that reinvestigates a 1999 murder in Woodlawn, Maryland — just a few miles from Baltimore, where, as it happens, we live. A couple of weeks ago Heather had to take a medical licensing exam at an office park in Woodlawn itself, and as we drove out we realized we were passing through the show's geography. Our car suddenly became very grave. "So this is it," I said as we went through Leakin Park, where the victim's body had been discovered, and I realized my voice sounded solemn, a little church-y. We had our eyes out — everything seemed like it could be tinged with significance — the basic sociocultural advertising of the place, the size of the high school, and the dimensions of its roads (which figure in the murder). How shady was it, how safe, »

Bishop John Barres met with some young adults of the Diocese of Allentown Monday night at an event called "Theology on Tap."
It was held at Roosevelt's 21st on Tilghman Street.
The event allows young adults in their 20s and 30s to learn more about their faith in a fun and relaxed setting.
Bishop Barres talked to the group about faith and film, a topic he has addressed in a video series on the diocese website.
The "on tap" series will be held at Roosevelt's each Monday in March, except St. Patrick's day.

Crisco - American word what is it?

Can anyone interpret for me. I want to make up some buttercream icing to try a frozen buttercream transfer. The recipe says to use crisco but I have no idea what it is. Any of you girls out there know?
Here's the ingredients to put it in context.
1 cup Crisco (Do not use high-ration shortening. You need a stiffer
3 sticks butter (real butter, good quality)
2 Tsp flavoring (I use 1 Tsp clear vanilla, 1 Tsp butter flavoring)
2* pounds powdered sugar, sifted several times (I sift 5 times)
Posted 07 May 2006 - 03:31 PM
Crisco is a range of oils and shortenings. It sounds like, from the recipe, that you'll need shortening. I'm not sure of the Australian equivalent but it's like a solidified oil with a light texture.

I know there are crisco oils in Australia but I wasn't sure if they have them in USA. Mum just suggested copha, what do you think?
Posted 07 May 2006 - 04:10 PM
I think copha would work actually.. it's the same consistency.

My American Aunt just sent this
About CRISCO, that is a white solid shortening , used in bake goods. a brand name
you should be able to get something like it . do not use lard.
Does that sound like copha?
Posted 08 May 2006 - 01:50 PM
Hi Toppy, Copha may not bee the product for you I just did a search on Crisco and the shortening to me seems to "soft" to be similair to Copha. copha is a hard product found in the diary section at the shops and normally is only used after it is melted. Correct me if I am wrong anyone, as I would love to know what else you can do with copha other than make White Christmas and or Chocolate Crackles.
This is from the Crisco Website (sounds like you may have to use margarine for your recipe)
Shortening (Crisco)
Crisco shortening contains 50% less saturated fat than butter, blends more easily, and does not require refrigeration. For easier use, try Crisco shortening sticks.

So what would you use Tina?
Posted 08 May 2006 - 04:59 PM
You are making an icing, I woud TRY the margarine and butter first (trial it with half the ingredients)
Does the method state to cream the butter and the crisco together??? If so then i am assuming that the crisco is margarine, as I do not know how you would cream butter and copha together without melting the copha first, then placing that into butter would make the butter start melting anyway.
And from the wording of the Quote from the Crisco website it does sound very much like margarine to me. ie the part where it says this: "Crisco shortening contains 50% less saturated fat than butter, blends more easily, and does not require refrigeration."
Here is a recipe for buttercream icing for you from the Womans Weekly recipe website unsure if you can use it for what you are planning though.
Buttercream icing
150g butter, chopped
2 cups icing-sugar mixture
2 tablespoons milk
Pink food colouring

1. Cream the butter and shortening well.
2. Add the flavoring.
3. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
4. Mix on 8-10 speed for approximately 5-10 minutes for a smooth consistency. The length of time depends on the weather/atmosphere at your house.
*Add more sugar if not stiff enough. I live in the High Desert of California with no humidity. I had to add more sugar to this recipe while visiting North Carolina.
Posted 08 May 2006 - 05:32 PM
I would just use the margarine and butter...............
Posted 09 May 2006 - 10:33 AM
Hi Toppy,
I made an buttercream icing to be piped on to my DD's first birthday cake.. the recipe was american & it asked for the same thing... I used Copha with great success, it makes the icing creamy when at room temperature but goes harder when the cake/icing is stored in the fridge... the icing was fantastic to pipe onto the cake.

My cousin is in USA as well and she sent this
I get the impression that
crisco is some form of hydrogenated oil.
My great Aunt sent this back
Crisco is an all vegetable shortening, do not know what COFHA is(I did spell copha right)
If Copha sets it hard it may work. Has anyone tried a frozen buttercream tranfer (FBCT) you put the picture on wax paper, freeze and then put it onto the cake. That's what I'm hoping to achieve so whatever I use has to freeze hard.
Posted 09 May 2006 - 01:34 PM
Go for Copha Toppy... Copha will actually turn into the consistency of butter if left on the bench, it only goes really hard when refrigerated.
I have moved to America from Australia. I have a recipe that asks for 250g of copha. What can I get to substitute for this in America? What are the measurements to equal this quantity? I know it is a coconut based shortening. - Nlsmitty2 (2/12/00)
Shortening - A solid fat made from vegetable oils, such as soybean and cottonseed oil. Although made from oil, shortening has been chemically transformed into a sold state through hydrogenation. Vegetable shortening is virtually flavorless (has a bland, neutral flavor) and may be substituted for other fats (such as butter, margarine, or lard) in baking of pie pastry, cookies, and cakes. Shortening is ideal for pastry, since it blends well with the flour. It can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. Vegetable shortening can be found in all grocery stores. One brand name is Crisco.
This is reverse.... ie someone in America wanting to replace Copha with something !
So we have an answer !! Copha can replace Crisco !
Posted 09 May 2006 - 01:51 PM
I am freaking out reading what you ladies are putting on cakes!! My DH has heart disease and anything that is hydrogenated goes straight to your arteries, it is the worst kind of fat you can eat.
I hope your cake turns out well but I would be scraping the icing off before feeding it to the kids!!
#15 Guest_toppy_*
Posted 09 May 2006 - 02:53 PM
Thanks Pam and thanks Lynnie.
I do realise it is anything but good but apart from the cake our parties are pretty healthy. My chn rarely eat lollies, don't have soft drink, have diluted fruit juice and are pretty healthy so I do allow them this as a one off treat. My chn are intollerant of cream and ice-cream so they generally do miss the topings on other chns birthday cakes so I don't deny them a special one for their own.
Posted 09 May 2006 - 03:09 PM
Hope your cake turns out beautiful Toppy and I'm sure the kids will enjoy it... I know I probably would
#17 Guest_toppy_*
Posted 09 May 2006 - 03:15 PM
Just have to decide what to put on and make sure I can get it all in Karratha <_< . I'll have to make a few cakes, one for our family, one for sunday school, one for play group and one for her party so I thought I'd use the chance to trial some different techniques.
Don't worry Lynnie it will be basics for most of them but one special one.
Posted 09 May 2006 - 10:16 PM
LOL Toppy, don't stress I hope you don't think I was having a go at your parenting, just that the word hydrogenated is a scary word in our household after all our education about heart health.
Good luck in finding everything in Karratha.
Four cakes for one birthday, lucky kid I have 4 kids and three of them have birthdays 3 months in a row, we would have 12 cakes in three months, a bit much I think LOL
Posted 10 May 2006 - 12:04 AM
I live in HK - where I can't get Copha, but I can get Crisco. Crisco is a vegetable shortening that is solid at room temperature - in fact, when I buy it, I don't have to refrigerate it (yes, it's a little scary if you think about that one too long).
I've only just started using it - and I only use it for butter-cream as it is pure white. The reason is that if you use butter, it is slightly yellow and your colouring will be affected (eg. your pink won't be bright and your red will be orangey). Even vanilla essence will 'colour' your icing so you can buy clear vanilla flavouring and butter flavouring. If you go to the Wilton site, you will see plenty of stuff on the merits of crisco versus butter for decorating.
The thought of what it is does put me off a bit (hydrogenated whatever) - but it looks much better than butter if you want a certain colour. It is also much easier to work with because it whips up easier and it can be iced on smooth. Butter tends to be softer and you can't get crisp edges on your cake.
As for a replacement - you could try Copha. Going the other way, I've tried to use Crisco for Choccy crackles and they are yuck. But that's no reason to say it won't work in buttercream.
On the issue of your transfers, you could try a chocolate transfer using coloured candy melts. I used a choccy transfer for a Saturday Night fever cake that I made - and it looked great. If you can't get candy melts (another AMerican thing), try white chocolate with colouring added.
Good luck!
Posted 10 May 2006 - 12:48 AM
In many cases you CAN substitute lard for Crisco & with a better result, nto for frosting however Butter/margerine should sub fine, just as PP said Crisco will give you a slightly different color.
BTW, crisco is disgusting stuff LOL
#21 Guest_toppy_*
Posted 10 May 2006 - 01:03 AM
Thanks girls esp about choccy transfer. I wanted to trial that one but couldn't find instructions. I bought copha today it says vegetable shortening so assume that's right.
Anyone know how much a stick of butter is?
Lynnie - No offense taken. It's easy to put rubbish into our kids. We try not too all year but let loose for their birthdays. Due to food intollerances we have to be strict on them which often means watching friends eat treats. We let loose on their cakes to make up for it.
Found some gorgeous flower decorations in woolworths today so I'll use them for the playgroup cakes, $3 for 20. Cup cakes iced and it'll be done.
I know what you mean about birthdays Lynnie, Dad's was yesterday, Mum's Thursday, DD's Friday, Mother's day Sunday, Nanna's was last week and my sister and niece next Wednesday. Unfortunately now too far away to see them
Posted 10 May 2006 - 01:26 AM
A "stick" of butter in an American recipe is 113 grams, also equivalent to 4 ounces, also equivalent to 8 tablespoons, which is also equivalent to 1/2 cup.

Thanks so much Tracy. I remember an American at uni saying that she thought it was wrong for people to say they speak Australian or American and that it should be just English. The problem is at times we do seem to speak another language.
Thanks for your help. I think making the cake may be eaiser then finding out how.
Posted 10 May 2006 - 01:59 AM
I am an Aussie living in the US. You could use copha, but it will have a flavour to it. Crisco doesn't have flavour, it is just greasy, IYKWIM? It is soft though, so the copha will set once you use it.
Posted 10 May 2006 - 04:15 PM
I have just been through the same problem as you toppy.
I did end up using copha - just zapped it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften. Have to say the flavour was fairly ordinary so you could try to use a combination of a bit less copha and add more butter to make it taste slightly better. It seems the main advantage to this buttercream icing is that it should hold it's shape in hot weather.
And I agree with you Lynnie, my arteries were hardening on the spot just looking at it!!!! (not that a full on butter icing would be any better!)
Good luck!!!

Global shares steady after rally, dollar jumps
NEW YORK (Reuters) - World stocks stalled on Thursday as traders were cautious after equities hit an 18-month high, while the U.S. dollar climbed to a three-week high against a basket of currencies on concerns about more budget wrangling in Washington.
Data suggesting some momentum in the U.S. economy as the year ended showed private-sector employers stepped up hiring in December, allowing for the upward tick in stocks and further supporting the greenback.
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans face two more months of tough talks on spending cuts and an increase in the nation's debt limit as the hard-fought deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts covered only taxes and delayed decisions on expenditures until March 1.
"There's still some clouds over the horizon, with the fiscal issue of the government," said Jeff Meyerson, head of trading at Sunrise Securities in New York. "We don't know how they're going to pan out, but in all likelihood there's not going to be a calamity."
The MSCI world equity index advanced less than 0.1 percent, reversing a dip through most of the session after hitting an 18-month high on Wednesday.
A European equity benchmark ended up 0.45 percent after hitting its highest intraday level since March 2011, boosted by a belated reaction in Swiss stocks due to a holiday.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 7.03 points, or 0.05 percent, at 13,419.58. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 1.57 points, or 0.11 percent, at 1,463.99. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 2.49 points, or 0.08 percent, at 3,114.75.
The euro tumbled against the dollar as investors grew worried about more budget fights ahead. Analysts say the market could be set up for volatility as Obama and congressional Republicans tussle over the next two months.
The dollar was up 0.4 percent against a basket of major currencies at a three-week high of 80.13, although it slipped 0.4 percent against the yen to 86.97.
"We really just kicked the can down the line and we're set up for another fight on the hill in the next month and a half or so," said John Doyle, currency strategist at Tempus Consulting in Washington.
The euro, which had touched an 8-1/2 month high against the dollar on Wednesday, was down 0.6 percent at $1.3110.
Investors will now turn their attention to Friday's December U.S. employment report. It is expected to show modest job growth of around 150,000, compared with 146,000 in November.
The ADP National Employment Report showed Thursday the U.S. private sector added 215,000 jobs in December, comfortably above economists' expectation of a 133,000 gain. Following the recent rally in equities, any disappointment in Friday's payrolls number could trigger a profit-taking sell-off.
The dollar's strength and rising oil supplies pushed crude prices lower, with Brent down 0.1 percent to $112.31 a barrel. U.S crude futures were down 0.1 percent at
Analysts expect oil prices to drop in 2013 as supply outweighs demand, especially after U.S. crude production hit a 19-year high in 2012.
Gold futures followed commodities lower and were down about 0.6 percent at $1,676.41 an ounce.
Thursday's retreat across riskier asset markets might have been sharper but for data showing activity in China's services sector and at U.S. factories expanded in December, brightening the outlook for global growth.
China's official purchasing managers' index for the non-manufacturing sector rose to a four-month high in December, adding to signs of a revival in the world's second-largest economy.
U.S. Treasury debt prices eased, pushing yields to three-month highs after the U.S. private jobs data cut into the appeal of safe U.S. government issues. Treasuries had already sold off sharply on Wednesday following the U.S. government deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff."
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 7/32, the yield at 1.8618 percent, a 15-week high.

Sold a home in 2011.
I completely recommend Michael O'Connor and would list with him again. The property was a short sale in Mira Loma, CA. He was outstanding. His knowledge of the short sale process is excellent. Early in the process I had to relocate out of state. He kept me informed via phone calls and e-mail. All of my questions and concerns were taken care of by him immediately. He even watched over my house and kept check on everything since I was gone.
