Jul 3, 2011This is my least favorite movie of all time.
In his attempt to make King Kong more like Lord of the Rings, Jackson has made an epic exposition of unbelievable events and stupidity. This movie is at least 1 hour too long and every action scene is less plausible than the last, removing all tension and immersion. There are no likable protagonists, villains or heroes and the plot and character development are more childish than an episode of Sponge Bob.
I truly hate this pile of crap that King Kong himself could not excrete from his massive anus.… Expand
Jun 30, 2012The more I watch this movie, the crappier it gets. Why? Because half of it is just screaming.. The acting was crap for the most part, I hate to **** talk Peter Jackson, but sorry man, this one was good for its time, but it has died to me.
A surprisingly tender, even heartbreaking, film. Like the original, it's a tragic tale of beauty and the beast.

The Somerset by Alice Temperley collection for John Lewis only launched on Tuesday and already it's smashed all forecasts to become the fastest selling brand in the department store's history. According to our JL pals, the collection took eleven times the usual sales in just ONE day and hit its weekly sales targets by mid-afternoon. Bravo, Ms T!
Hundreds of fashion fans queued up to get a slice of the Temperley action when John Lewis's flagship shop on London's Oxford Street opened at the crack of dawn earlier this week and in just half an hour, they took a fifth of the brand's first day sales. Phewf.
Eager shoppers also took to www.johnlewis.com to snap up the goods, including half the online allocation of that £999 shearling coat (aka: the highest priced item of the collection). It is perfect for AW12, after all. And what of the other best-sellers? Well, the classic black high waisted trousers sold like hot cakes as did the handbags, belts and purses that are all part of Alice Temperley's first-ever full accessories range.
We have an inkling this phenomenal success may be thanks to a certain Duchess of Cambridge. The young royal is often spotted in Temperley creations - from the black lace gown she wore at the War Horse premiere to the pleated white number at Wimbledon - and it's no secret that she is now the UK's most bankable fashion star. A report earlier this year suggested Kate Middleton's style choices have brought an astounding £1billion into the ailing British economy, eclipsing anything generated by supermodels, music stars and even Oscar winners (and that's no easy feat). What we do know is when Kate wears it, it sells.
But if you missed the chance to buy some of that Somerset by Alice Temperley gorgeousness, fret not. A second drop, comprising of jacquard knits, leather trousers and pieces for the forthcoming party season, such as embellished tops and beaded full length evening gowns, will hit John Lewis in early October.
The question is: will one of the Middleton sisters make an appearance when the super-gorgeous British brand presents its Spring Summer 2013 collection during London Fashion Week next Sunday? Start crossing those fingers now...

The Hidden Woman: Cynthia McKinney
It amazes me how very little attention by the media that Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney is garnering. We do, in fact, have a woman Presidential candidate to vote for this November - one who, as John Nichols tells us in The Nation, is "[r]esolutely anti-war and anti-imperialist, firmly committed to defending individual liberties and determined to hold the outgoing president and vice president to account...is an ardent advocate for national health care, expanded education spending and energy policies that emphasize mass transportation and conservation rather than rewarding oil-company profiteering."
Read more about Cynthia's run.
Why do you think that such a noteworthy candidate is getting such little attention, even in progressive and alternative media? Why, when such a huge focus is being made of both race and gender in this election, is an African American woman candidate all but buried in the mix?

Haydn and Mozart wrote many Andantes in gently swaying 6/8 siciliano rhythm. But only rarely did they compose a siciliano in the slower, Adagio tempo. It is characteristic of the young Beethoven's search for increased profundity of expression that the second movement of the G major Trio combines a siciliano lilt with an unprecedented hymn-like solemnity. The tempo marking, Largo con espressione, is itself novel and significant; and the rapt atmosphere is enhanced by the choice of key, E major, which sounds remote and radiant after G major. Beethoven shows a typical feeling for long-range tonal planning when he later plunges dramatically (with a sudden fortissimo) from B major to the work's home key of G, initiating a searching modulating development of the opening theme.
Though definitely a scherzo rather than a minuet, the third movement is less wilful than its counterpart in Op 1 No 1, playing insouciantly with rising and falling scales, à la Haydn. The Trio turns to B minor for a laconic waltz of comic banality – the kind of music likely to turn up in Beethoven's works from the early years right through to the visionary late quartets. After the return of the scherzo Beethoven appends a brief coda that toys with the theme's opening figure before dying away to pianissimo.
The finale was originally in 4/4 time. But at an early run-through the cellist Anton Kraft (best-known for his association with Haydn) suggested that the music would be better notated in 2/4, and Beethoven duly adopted the idea. Opening with a catchy 'riding' theme in rapid repeated notes (perfect for the violin, but artfully refashioned when the piano takes it over), this is another movement that infuses Haydn's spirit with Beethoven's own brand of boisterousness. The music is full of aggressive sforzando accents, rough dynamic contrasts (at their most extreme in the coda) and mysterious or dramatic plunges to distant keys. The development alights for a while in E major, the key of the Adagio – another instance of Beethoven's large-scale tonal strategy. But perhaps the wittiest moment of all comes with the start of the recapitulation. Here a smooth new figure in octaves on the piano seems to be preparing for the return of the 'riding' theme, which then enters unobtrusively, before we realize it, while the piano octaves continue as if nothing has happened.

No 1 in G minor: Allegro non troppo, ma agitato
No 2 in F sharp minor: Adagio capriccioso
No 3 in C major: Vivace
No 4 in E flat minor: Andante lugubre
can be considered as a sonata in four movements: the first Rhapsody is the first movement, because it has a simpler form; the second Rhapsody replaces the slow movement; the third corresponds to a scherzo of a sonata; the last Rhapsody, an elaboration of the Gregorian chant 'Dies Irae', includes the themes of the former three Rhapsodies. I did not call the work 'sonata', because its structure is somewhat looser and each piece can be performed separately.
While some listeners have identified a Hungarian flavour to the work, especially in the Rhapsody in F sharp minor, Dohnányi eschewed such attributions. He insisted that the individual movements 'are not rhapsodies in the sense of the Hungarian Rhapsodies by Liszt, in which Hungarian folksongs are elaborated. My themes are all original, and when people find that their style is Hungarian, it is because I am Hungarian.'

In January DISH Network unveiled the Hopper, a whole-house high definition DVR system that allows users to record all primetime network shows (ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC) with one press of a button (the feature is called "Primetime Anytime") and watch them on up to 4 TVs around a home. Now a new feature adds auto commercial skipping.
DISH calls this feature Auto Hop, and it's bound to make TV executives grind their teeth in anger. Viewers are offered the option to select Auto Hop when they schedule a recording. Auto Hop only works on primetime programming on the four major networks, and it also doesn't work on live TV. Auto Hop also only works on next-day viewing, which means that if you record something that starts at 8PM and start playback at 8:30PM, Auto Hop won't work. You'll have to wait until at least 1AM before Auto Hop will work.
The commercials are actually recorded, and if a user wants to watch the commercials, they can turn off the feature at the beginning of playback.
A DISH representative says the technology is able to be expanded to other channels, but there's no word on when/if that will happen.
The system will only skip commercials, but not weather alerts or emergency broadcast alerts.
Users obviously will appreciate this feature, but advertisers already don't like that DVRs allow commercial skipping via the forward button (or 30-second skip). Now with Auto Hop, it becomes even easier to enjoy your primetime shows without commercials. Will broadcasters fight back with a technology that counteracts this feature? Will we be subjected to more in-show product placement? Even more important, will companies such as Comcast and Verizon follow up with their own version of Auto Hop?

[QUOTE=RoadFan;3104835]I may be in the minority here but I am totally fed up with the obsession about the WR position. I intend to address all three of the complaints about our WR situation; Philosophy; Draft; and Free Agent/Trade options.
First: The Jets team Philosophy. The Jets are attempting to build a great defense and an offense that runs the ball effectively. They are not, and have no plans to become, a passing team ala the Colts, Cardinals, etc.
Second: It is often a total waste to draft a WR early in the draft, especially in the 1st round. They take TOO long to develop...if they even develop at all. For every Fitz, Andre Johnson, and Calvin Johnson...there are at least five Troy Williamsons', Reggie Williams', RJ Sowards', Marcus Nashs', Peter Warricks', David Terrells', Freddie Mitchells', Rod Gardners', Rashaun Woods', Charles Rogers', Travis Taylors' ( I could go on but, hopefully, you get the idea) Even the best of the recent WR's listed above, yeah the athletic freaks, taken early in the first did not make much of an impact until at least their second year. None of the WR's in this draft are likely to make much of an impact until their third year. Also, the Jets apparently tried to get back in the 1st to take Parcy Harvin. The fact that they tried should help to quell some of you receiver starved die-hards.
Third: The free agent options many of you are whining about. If the only issue to acquire Anquan Boldin was a 2nd round pick....the whole league would be interested. Anquan Boldin wants like $10 million per year. He is NOT, anywhere close to worth that kind of money. On to Braylon Edwards. Keyshawn once stated the guy could not catch a cold on a rainy day in Alaska. Now the newest one, Plaxico Burress. The guy is a total douchebag! He cares only about himself, skips practices and meetings, creates unnecessary distractions, and requires more time and effort than he could possibly be worth.
I am ecstatic that the Jets avoided temptation to avoid taking a WR. The Jets might even be pleasantly surprised if one of the young wideouts already on the roster develops this year. Are there any other Jet fans out there that feel like I do? If you are tired of reading one post after another about, "What about a WR?"....let yourselves be heard here!!!![/QUOTE]
1ST: in order to be a truly effective run team, you need a down field threat. take last year giants as an example, as soon as plaxico got hurt, they werent as effective as running
2nd: chances of landing a fitz or megatron is rare but we certainly could have used a player like donnie avery, desean jackson etc service-able players that held there own in their first year.
3rd: boldin is worth that kind of money. not worth the draft picks though. youre right i DONT like plax neither. braylon is a star, TO had plenty of drops either, leaving out his off field problems etc, hes one hell of a football player
i do hope our young WR can turn into something special but at the end of the day, if were going to get a franchise qb, we need WR for him to throw to.

EH > Avoid was the rule from BC through Wrath. Block was favored over EH in this expansion but that was because once you hit CTC you're effectively adding 30% or more EH because every hit is going to get that dmg reduced from it.
Although the point I was trying to make was that inside the actual burst stamina is king.
And combined with the fact that we are at a point of DRs on avoidance where reaction time just not going to change much no matter what we do with it, I don't see any case for avoidance at all. I mean crit block looks more interesting in this regard, but I don't see it viable enough at this item level either.

EH > Avoid was the rule from BC through Wrath. Block was favored over EH in this expansion but that was because once you hit CTC you're effectively adding 30% or more EH because every hit is going to get that dmg reduced from it.
Currently, Stamina > Avoidance > Armor in a Burst Time value PoV, so EHP is only better by using Stamina.
And Unhittable with the meta actually gives 44.93% extra EHP (1/69%)
But the point of Burst Time remains valid, reduce the times you actually make your healers worry and unlike WotLK, avoidance now still comes relatively close to Stamina to actually be valuable.

I am not convinced that Stamina is the best path to go post full CTC. A CTC capped tank already has enough EH to give healers time to react and this expansion Stamina increases EH a lot slower relative to the size of a melee swing.
With healer mana and time at a premium this expansion, I think it would be a mistake to disregard avoidance as a viable target stat. Riding the CTC cap, slowly shifting Mastery to Dodge and Parry, lightens the strain on healers in a way EH can not.
As I said before, in a pure Burst Time model, Stamina is slightly better, but avoidance comes close enough that you can consider the gains of pure Damage Reduction over the model of Burst Time, but that is your choice.

Strucker, no offense, but entire post makes zero sense from start to finish. I wouldn't even know how to reply to it.
Airowind, avoidance is close on Patchwerk. We are not fighting Pathwerks this expansion, we are fighting Dragons.
Kopcap, perhaps you can elaborate?I don't see a big difference between avoidance or stam after ctc. Once you reach full ctc, you have achieved the most stability you can. Keeping full ctc while shifting out of mastery and into avoidance makes more 30% 40% or 60% reductions into 0 damage...thereby making it even easier for healers.
The one big redeeming value to stam is no DR. I still don't see how that makes stucker's comment bad.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
Burst Time models come with the assumption that if we live alittle longer the healer will heal us back to full health.
In situation where the amount of heals the healer can generate is limited, possibly due to mana or having to heal other players, that assumption does not hold up.
Once a tank has full CTC the question is no longer whether the healer has time to get off his next heal, it is whether the healer will be able to sustain the healing needed for the rest of the fight. Stacking stamina does not help the healer do so in any way, where as avoidance lowers the amount of sustained healing needed and thus helps address the real issue.
On fights where you are spam healed, you will be getting spam healed at about the same rate. The difference is that sometimes when you parry a healer will be able to see it midcast, cancel and thus save some mana. This is hardly easier, its just a little more efficient. What will however make his life easier is knowing that a hit will take you only 20% down instead of usual 25%, thus creating a lot more room to breath and allowing more time to make better decisions, ie having enough time to cast GH instead of a FH, which in turn easily translates into better efficiency.
The one thing avoidance is good at is reducing the probability of a worst case scenario taking place, but so does stamina simply through the virtue of allowing a bigger health pool and hence requiring more "bad hits" to happen in a chain in order to trigger it.
There are of course other valid ways of making healers life actually easier, namely getting more armor and pushing crit block off the table, but none of this is currently relevant.
And again, this is all about a physical fight. Every bit of magic damage received in a fight does nothing for avoidance but tips the scales for stamina.
And obv on fights where tank healing is not intensive or spiky, stamina does not matter. But that is not what is being discussed here
ps The whole notion that past CTC healers' mana is a bigger cause of tanks' death than EH is pretty ridiculous. I can understand rationale behind avoidance as an attempt to max out dmg reduction on mostly physical or low hitting encounters, but as an attempt to save up healers resources its just lol.

Healers simply don't spam there biggest heals anymore, this isn't wrath, they can't afford to.
No, a healer isn't going to have to stop and change casts based on the outcome of any single swing, even on 25m heroic rag I can suvive 5-6 hits just fine (with the dot and magic damage) giving the healers plenty of time to react to any bad luck and shift to their heavy heals temporarly.
Most of the time the healers use a balance of lighter heals to preserve mana, avoidence lets them use the lighter healers more regularly, a situation they can sustain for longer. Stamina does nothing to change the mixture of heals the healer needs to use and thus leaves them running out of mana.
What your saying makes perfect sense viewed against wrath fights where healers had all the mana in the world and could spam there top heals but it simply doesn't work that way anymore. Nor are we in danger of dieing over a period of 5 seconds anymore.
Typed on my iPhone, so sorry for any typos.
If our healers could teach yours how not to go oom and you could teach me how to survive 6 hits on H Rag, we'd be smashing that shit.
Until then - lol, no.
On last nights 25M Heroic Rag trys, Rag's melee hit for 36k (blocked). Without stacking stamina I have 206k hp for that fight. So for straight melee hits, with the worst possble luck, 6 swings would just barely kill me. I currently have 42% pure avoidance, so on average it would require 10+ hits. At 2.2 seconds a swing that gives the healers at least 13.2 seconds and usually 22 seconds to pick up there healing, a far cry from the 5 seconds we had to work with back in wrath. (And thats not factoring in any CDs or crit blocks, not even Shield Block)
The dot ticked on me for 6k on average, factoring it in lowers the times to 8.8 and 17.6 seconds respectively with zero heals. If you include the light heals a healer will always be pushing, the times grow a lot longer.
So yes, 25M Heroic Rag is not going to be 2 shotting tanks anytime soon...
And if your healers seriously are not having to worry about mana management on 25M Heroic Rag, they either are godly or slacking off.

I think being CtC capped is something that's really great health pools are already with the current tier pretty high. Yes you could get avoidance stats once you hit it. But, like what was said earlier that's given you having melee swings. I think CtC handles enough boss wise but then adding stamina is better. Because its something that is always working for you. Gives you more of a health pool for heals, gives you more vengeance even if it is slim (not suggesting stacking). I'm a little irritated with the idea that people would discount CTC as something not worthwhile or something fun to aim for. Since when do tanks have something worth shooting for in this expansion. We wont top meters, we cant show off threat anymore, why not show off how we can make a healers job easy.
- Ragnaros melee hit for 60-75k pre block (swing timer is at ~ 1.8 seconds debuffed)
- Burning Wound ticks for 4-5k (1 stack), 9-10k (2 stacks), 12-16k (3 stacks), 20k (4 stacks)
0.0 50k regular block
0.0 12k Burning wound tick after resists
1.8 50k regular block
2.0 12k Burning wound tick after resists
2.2 27k Hand of Ragnaros after resists
3.6 50k regular block
4.0 12k burning wound tick after resists
213k damage without absorbs, ticking hots and avoided attacks during a four second timeframe. I took those numbers from 10m heroic, i doubt they will be lower on 25m
But there are other things we should notice: it's highly unlikely you'll tank Ragnaros without either shieldblock or four-piece bonus up so you're 100% of the time unhittable even with no full ctc on your paperdoll. I tank him with exp softcap, strength flask, strength food, a landslide weapon with offensive stats and a damaging trinket and still hit the 102.4% during four piece bonus.
The real question left: how much avoidance can we sneak in after reaching full ctc on a warrior (or for this tier more important: on a paladin)? Compared to how much stamina? Why not skipping both and going for softcap expertise? etc..
By the time you have 4 stacks of Burning Wounds the other tank should be taunting, at most you will have 3 stacks well actively tanking for more then a moment, and most of the time less...
Even in your worse then worst case senerio it would take only 8k total heals/absorbes for a 205k hp tank to survive a full 5 seconds, long enough for large heals to get off. Take out the Hand and the tank lives till 5.6 with no heals.
Yes my melee damage numbers appear to have included crit blocks and some absorbes, had assumed WOL seperated those out but apparently not.
If your worried about burst time deaths why in the world are you stacking expertise and strength? Threat is a joke now and tank DPS is not needed so badly as to sacrifice survival on progression content.
As to your question, I have 42% passive avoidance well maintaining 102.4% passive CTC (Raid Buffed). I'll check later what the stam/avoidance ratio looks like but one thing to keep in mind is that as you increase avoidance you start saving points you had spent on mastery amplifying the effect, stamina comes with no such perk.
I honestly can see no arguements for stacking threat stats, but thats coming from a 25 man mindset where tank DPS makes up a very small portion of the raid DPS.
Not to troll or flame, but merely to promote thought:
Perhaps by your admission that you run 25s instead of 10s, you're saying that since tank DPS plays a more vital role in 10s, thus "threat" stats could become more important?
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.
Tank dps is only worthwhile on 10mans, which klausi runs afaik, and even then its only worth it on some encounters with a tight dps requirement.
However, if you can manage full CTC and still move into damage-dealing stats to kill things faster, is that not worth it?

Welcome | Student Affairs at Fordham University
The purpose of Student Affairs at Fordham University is to create a campus culture that reflects and advances the Roman Catholic tradition of moral and intellectual development pioneered and fostered by Jesuit colleges and universities. We seek to create, for and with our students, an intentional community that will set the highest standards of academic, social, moral, and spiritual excellence. This community must bring to life, in a meaningful way, the fundamental ideals of Jesuit education. The student, as individual and as a part of the community, will be the center of our efforts, and will be expected to fully participate in the education offered by full participation in the community.

litearally means "goat shit." That's why American Jews (who don't know bupkis about Yiddish) have mistaken it to mean "something of little or no value."
"Them third and fourth generation Jews know bupkis about yiddish and yiddishkeit."
作者 Athabasca Zwink 2004年6月13日
While some pretentious folks who badmouth people of their own heritage say it means "goat shit," it has become commonly accepted to mean "of little or no value" and multiple Yiddish to English dictionaries confirm this. No 1st generation American I know has used it to mean anything otherwise.
Someone who chooses to insult strangers instead of astutely sharing their knowledge with those who aren't so fortunate to be as perfect as they are may think they are a mensch, but really their words are bupkis.
Farshtinkener Jews should be fed bupkis straight from the goat's tochas.
Farshtinkener Jews should be fed bupkis straight from the goat's tochas.
作者 2nd generation American 2006年8月28日
Also spelled bubkes but still means the same thing. The word Bupkis means 'nothing, zero, having no value'. Also it is said by the television character Dr. Zoidberg on the show "Futurama" since he is a Jewish lobster and this word has a Jewish origin it all makes sense.
Zoidberg: "We've had president Bush for four years and all we got was Bupkis"

text: A very groovy album by Laurindo Almeida – one of his best bossa cookers in a swinging 60s mode! The album features lots of great acoustic guitar from Laurindo, but spun over fuller arrangements by Lex De Azvedo, Clare Fischer, and Dick Grove – all of whom get that right sort of jaunty, breezy style to really showcase the evolution of the bossa on the west coast scene of the 60s! Production is great – handled by Lex – and really still lets the gentle acoustic guitar step out in front of the rest of the group – on groovy titles that include "The Look Of Love", "Windy", "I Love You", "When I Look In Your Eyes", "A Beautiful Friendship", and "Alfie". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I dont blame him, the Jets suck and so do their fans..we need to get him to join the dolphins down in south beach...Miami is a nice retirement labode...
Proves nothing. I think a good fan should revolt. A lame fan does nothing and screams "we're great". Which are you?
It's time to be successful Coach Philbin. Have you decided what you should master yet? It's time to step up Mr. Tannehill, you're starting year three too.
I had read comments on other sites (specifically the Pro Football Talk site) about what an ass-hat Fireman Ed is/was. I was at a few Dolphins-Jets games in NJ and I always thought he was entertaining. Just like Dolfan Denny, I can understand his enthusiasm, although I'd be hard-pressed to replicate it in public, and I can certainly understand his present disenchantment. I think I would've handled it differently, though. I just would've gone back to the Bruce Harper jersey, or maybe a Dennis Byrd or Joe Klecko or even Stan Waldemore. Sanchez is too much of a lighting rod.
Oh well...

I read A Grave Interest's post Going to the Chapel….Cemetery Weddings recently. What an interesting concept!
I have a few pictures of graves from Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago where you can see people sitting around on the grass. I have heard of my families picnicing around family graves prior to the 1950s. This was not a tradition passed down that we still do today.
I think a cemetery is a great place for a wedding. So many cemeteries are garden-like or have beautiful chapels on site. There are also many military statues and memorials which would make a nice backdrop for a military wedding.
What do you think? Would you get married in a cemetery? I would consider it!

There are a few sore heads in Grazia towers today. Why's that, you say? Well, after the Brit awards last night, it seemed only right and proper to help the winners, nominees and other hangers-on to celebrate at the after-parties. Yes, plural. As tradition dictates, each of the major record labels hosted a lavish bash for their artists and just like Harry Styles, we tried to go to as many of them as we could.
But before all that, what better way to get to the Brit awards than by taking a lovely boat ride down the Thames? Thanks to Shopbop.com after navigating the very windy pier we jumped aboard the gorgeous M.V.Edwardian at Butler's Wharf and set sail for the O2 arena. With Fiol prosecco and amazing food, including apricots stuffed with gorgonzola and prosciutto risotto it could not have been a better journey. Amber Le Bon and Bip Ling both came along for the ride and were seen happily walking around, even when the trip got a little rocky. You've got better sea legs than us ladies!
Blimey that Taylor Swift never stops does she? After absolutely killing it at the awards with her performance of I Knew You Were Trouble Taylor headed over to the Universal Party hosted by Soho House and Bacardi where she and James Cordon DJ'd for everyone. A-MAZING. We spotted her finally letting her hair down later in the evening dancing wildly on the dance floor where she got so carried away, she lost a shoe. Also in attendance were oh-so-sweet couple Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford who spent a lot of their time hanging out with Ellie Goulding and her new boyf Jeremy Irvine – is like the coolest double date or what?!
EMI and War Child
After the show, it was back to the boat, this time the Silver Sturgeon as we hit the EMI and War Child party with our friends at Spotify. In the absence of his best pal Chris Martin, Damon Albarn celebrated Coldplay's Best Live Act award for him, while Emeli Sande arrived to a rapturous applause from guests after winning Best Female and Best Album. Meanwhile Tinie Tempah spent the night chatting to Conor Maynard… do we spot a collaboration in the making?
Over at the Sony party at The Arts Club in Mayfair it was all about King Cowell or Simon as he is more commonly known. Arriving early our favourite music mogul sat himself comfortably upstairs as the other guests began to trickle through, holding court all night. From Lily Rose Cooper and her husband Sam to Mark Ronson the Belvedere Vodka sponsored party played host to some of music's biggest names. We stopped One Direction's Harry Styles on his way through the party to ask him about his ex-girlfriend Taylor's performance, 'It was great,' he said adding, 'I didn't feel any pressure with both of us being there.' Good for you Harry, we'd been worrying about it all week!
Cocktails were in full flow at the Warner party sponsored by Samsung where guests were treated to a performance from the band Fun. Rafe Spall didn't seem too keen to hang around at the Savoy hotel staying for just five minutes before we bumped into Kate Hudson cosied up to her fiancé and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy. She told us that she's super excited about Stella McCartney's show at Paris Fashion Week although she's not sure yet whether she'll be able to make it along. Mark Ronson was DJ for the evening and late revellers were treated to an appearance from Harry Styles who arrived at 2am with a girl on each arm.
Roc Nation
And where else but Hakkasan for uber cool label Roc Nation to host their post Brit's party? We don't know, so it's lucky it was held there. After a DJ set from Calvin Harris, celebrity types like Nick Grimshaw, Alexa Chung and Will.I.Am all crowded into the VIP area to sip on their cocktails and dance the night away. Rita Ora popped in with her new BFF Iggy Azaelia (what will Cara say eh?). Sadly, despite the fact that EVERYONE thought they were going to make an appearance Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z failed to Roc up (get it?!) to the party. There's always next year boys…

From snacks to activities, it can be a hub for keeping them busy. It can also be super cute to serve double-duty as Thanksgiving décor!
Consider adding a small collection of snacks at each place setting for kids to gobble on at their leisure. This cute turkey is very simple to make using the Fuse Creativity System®.
Using the Bird and Circle Design Sets, run brown craft foam through the Fuse. Run five bird wings through the Fuse using assorted craft foam for the feathers. Glue together and add a "Snacks to Gobble" print out to the front.
Adhere the turkey to an easy DIY box. Simply cut a seven by six inch rectangle of brown cardstock and score each side two inches from the edge using a scoring blade in your rotary trimmer. Cut along four of the scored lines as shown and adhere flaps into a box.
A Mayflower centerpiece can hold activities for the kids in individual boxes cut using the Fuse Creativity System®. Drill a small hole in a block of wood or molding cut to fit into an oval basket using the Fiskars Hand Drill. Insert a bamboo skewer into the hole with glue to secure. Add a sail once dry with a simple Thanksgiving message.
By covering the table with kraft paper, the kids can doodle away. Fill a few of the boxes with a good assortment of crayons to let their imagination run wild.
Run the Treatbox Design Set through the Fuse using assorted fall inspired patterned cardstocks. Fold on the scored lines and glue to secure.
To add more decoration to the table, create these easy feather headband napkin rings out of leather using the Fuse.
Ink the patterned Pillowcase Design Set with permanent brown stamping ink and run through the Fuse with a one inch wide strip of leather from the craft store cut using your rotary trimmer. Glue leather strip around a cut of a paper towel roll and hot glue a feather from the craft store inside.
These pumpkin pie place cards look almost good enough to eat. And they are easy to make, too!
Punch two dark orange triangles using the 'Banner Year' lever punch. Punch a 1/16 inch hole at the center of one (this will be the top piece). Trace one onto beige craft foam and cut out. Cut a 1.25 by 7.5 inch strip of a slightly lighter orange cardstock. Using a scoring blade in your rotary trimmer, score at 1, 2.75, and 2.75 inches along the strip. Score 1/4 inch along both long sides as well. Fold all scored lines and cut a triangle as shown from each intersection. Cut the scored wings off of one of the 1 inch each pieces as well. Glue scored strip along one triangle at the top and one of the bottom. Glue orange pumpkin slice to the craft foam triangle crust as well as a piece for the back cut with 'Clouds' paper edgers for a scalloped crust. Insert a toothpick into the 1/16 inch hole for a name flag, and glue part of a cotton ball at the top for whipped cream.
Simple felt chair slipcovers can inexpensively add dramatic décor. Here I created a very simple pilgrim hat pattern to trace onto felt. I layered two pieces of felt and cut together using Amplify™ RazorEdge™ Fabric Shears. These are wonderful for cutting heavier fabrics easily. Add any decorations to the front of the hat before simply sewing the two panels together leaving the bottom open.
One last decoration idea can get the kids involved way before Thanksgiving arrives. Create traditional paper chains using the colors of autumn corn by gluing a strip of paper into another ring forming a chain. Tie together two chains to form an ear of corn and tie into a garland using raffia.

30 Easter Egg Craft Ideas

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Coloring and decorating Easter eggs has been a favorite tradition of many families for decades. The distinctive smell of vinegar certainly reminds me of coloring eggs with my family and even all these years later, I still enjoy dying and decorating eggs for Easter.
We start our Easter egg decorations list with projects for real eggs. There's just something special and fun about cooking and coloring hard boiled eggs. However those dyes and chemicals can be harsh and aren't great for little kids, so we have a fun project that's chemical-free and perfect for white or brown eggs. This Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs project uses natural oils from fruit and vegetables, so it's safe to eat and use. The dye creates a very natural and organic look to the egg shell, so they're perfect if you're going for a realistic look this year! This is great Easter egg decor for an Easter Sunday brunch.
And it's simply not Easter without an egg hunt! For younger kids, though, it can be difficult to find and collect eggs, which is why these Egg Shaped Candy Pouches are perfect for families with young children. These large Easter egg decorations are made of paper and are big enough to be seen by smaller children. Fill them with candy, confetti, or whatever you'd like! You could also fill a kid's Easter basket with these paper eggs for a fun surprise within a surprise!
From the real deal to revamping those standard plastic Easter eggs, here are 30 Easter egg crafts that are simply egg-xtraordinary!

|Apache Struts 2 Documentation > Home > Guides > Core Developers Guide > Interceptors > File Upload Interceptor
|See this page for more examples and advanced configuration
Interceptor that is based off of MultiPartRequestWrapper, which is automatically applied for any request that includes a file. It adds the following parameters, where [File Name] is the name given to the file uploaded by the HTML form:
You can get access to these files by merely providing setters in your action that correspond to any of the three
patterns above, such as setDocument(File document), setDocumentContentType(String contentType), etc.
See the example code section.
This interceptor will add several field errors, assuming that the action implements ValidationAware. These error messages are based on several i18n values stored in struts-messages.properties, a default i18n file processed for all i18n requests. You can override the text of these messages by providing text for the following keys:
You can extend this interceptor and override the acceptFile method to provide more control over which files are supported and which are not.
Example action mapping:
<action name="doUpload" class="com.example.UploadAction"> <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/> <interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/> <result name="success">good_result.jsp</result> </action>
Notice the interceptor configuration in the preceding example.
Example JSP form tags:
<s:form action="doUpload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <s:file name="upload" label="File"/> <s:submit/> </s:form>
You must set the encoding to
multipart/form-data in the form where the user selects the file to upload.
Example Action class:
package com.example; <p/> import java.io.File; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; <p/> public UploadAction extends ActionSupport { private File file; private String contentType; private String filename; <p/> public void setUpload(File file) { this.file = file; } <p/> public void setUploadContentType(String contentType) { this.contentType = contentType; } <p/> public void setUploadFileName(String filename) { this.filename = filename; } <p/> public String execute() { //... return SUCCESS; } }
Setting parameters example:
<interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"> <param name="allowedTypes"> image/png,image/gif,image/jpeg </param> </interceptor-ref>
This part is optional and would be done in place of the <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/> line in the action mapping example above.

Ivorian refugees return home
Former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo is appearing before the International Criminal Court at The Hague this Tuesday. The former head of state was arrested after refusing to admit defeat in the country's 2010 election. The crisis sparked by that vote lead many Ivorians to flee the country. Nearly two-thirds of them have now returned but their exile is proving problematic, especially when they cannot get back their land.

Stunning sterling. This necklace features graduated beads of Carolyn's signature openwork and twisted rope design alternating with ribbed sterling silver beads. Wear this to create an elegant evening look, or make a bold statement in your everyday wear. The necklace measures 21" long and is adjustable to 24" long with a sterling silver extender chain and lobster claw clasp. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Enroll Now!
Great instructor! He really makes an effort to connect with the students and mentor them through the course. This is my fourth ed2go course and so far they are all winners! Hope to take more soon.
Thank you for the great class and excellent support in learning how to use Dreamweaver to create jQuery Mobile web pages! I've learned so much and the process was fun and rewarding. I hope to use my new found knowledge to broaden my horizons as a web designer, and I hope to find my niche... Thank you for a truly enjoyable learning experience and for all the wonderful resources and supplemental materials.
For me, this is exactly what I wanted to learn. I manage two websites and my own site. I've wanted to create a mobile version of the sites so that they are easier to view when using smart phones.
I enjoyed the course and found it very helpful. I wanted to learn how to create a mobile version of websites for some time. This course helped me reach that goal. I've already applied what I've learned to a website I maintain and will apply it to another website.
JQuery Mobile is 'awesome,' as they say about everything that is also 'cool.' Having worked in recent months to expand my grasp of css3 and move into JavaScript, beyond simple copy and tweak, the idea of having working mobile components waiting for me to access (for free, even) is beyond awesome/cool. It is just very, very timely. So if adoption is slow, that will likely change. I recall a long time ago explaining to co-workers the value of .pdf files. Before that, I worked with people who balked at the idea of using e-mail (including technical employees of NASA). So, some things take while. ... Thanks for guiding us to the leading edge.
I enjoyed the course, David Karlins lessons were clear and helpful. The steps and directions were straight forward, which made it easy when I had my computer crash. As I did not have a computer with Dreamweaver, I had to use an alternate computer and do the assignments in notepad, thanks to the information on how to use each code for every lesson I was able to complete the work.
I've applied what I learned from the class to the website I manage and everyone in my group is very pleased with the mobile version of our website. I enjoyed the class and it was very helpful.
The course is timely, extremely valuable, and well-organized and presented by Mr. Karlins.
This class served two purposes - get familiar with the new version of Dreamweaver and learn how to create mobile websites with Dreamweaver. Both of these purposes were met and my expectations were exceeded. Job well done by the instructor!
Excellent course, very current and up-to-date, and relevant to current technologies and trends. This was easy to follow, yet challenging and helpful. The instructor was top-notch, extremely knowledgeable, and always helpful.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Week nine of high school football has the potential of sorting out a lot of playoff contenders for 2012 from the pretenders.
In the SWL, the Grand Junction Tigers need a win in their final regular season game, which is against Central, in order to lock up a postseason berth.
As for the WSL, the No. 9 Delta Panthers can make a lot of noise in Class 3A if they pull off an upset over No. 1 Rifle. And don't forget, No. 10 Palisade is bouncing back from a big loss to Delta with a formidable opponent in No. 5 Eagle Valley.
Needless to say, week nine could be the most dramatic of all weeks in western slope high school football.

WASHINGTON - One of D.C.'s favorite athletes got in the Halloween spirit with a costume honoring his own famous quip.
In June, Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper grabbed headlines with his "That's a clown question, bro" response to a reporter's question. For Halloween, Harper dressed up as - what else? - a clown.
The costume featured Harper (or what appears to be Harper, since the photos came from his Twitter account) in an orange body suit/unitard and oversized bowtie, along with a red clown nose, gigantic glasses and colorful wig.
From the photos, shorts appear to have been optional, although the "Don't be a clown, bro" shirt provides a nice extra touch.
Helping to bottom off the outfit is a nod to another famous Washington athlete: a pair of mismatched Adidas RGIII socks. Harper also took to the Twitterverse to announce his acquisition of the socks last month.

Feature set summary for HTC One SV review
The five-megapixel snapper may not impress at first, but once you realise it benefits from top-notch video, photo and editing features it's another story. The 4G support will be a big attraction for media streaming fans.
Style and handling summary for HTC One SV review
You can see it's an HTC handset – it's not got the wow factor but is solid enough and is reasonably scuff resistant. It feels good to hold in the hand.
Battery power summary for HTC One SV review
Great battery life – five and a half hours of media streaming and on standby it lasts for days.
Performance summary for HTC One SV review
Considering the price tag, the dual-core chip does not stand out, and while the phone will happily run most games and apps it will be outdated sooner than a quad-core handset.
User friendliness summary for HTC One SV review
The One SV runs on the older Ice Cream Sandwich incarnation of Android, along with the HTC skin. They run nicely and offer some good features and are user friendly.
HTC One SV Review Scoring Summary
|Style & Handling
|User Friendliness
|Feature Set
|Battery Power
|Overall Score
Pros :
Media streaming is a joy thanks to the HTC One SV's 4G support – and films look great on its bright display. The dual-core processor and the older version of Android are disappointing, but the HTC Sense overlay adds some nice features.
Full Review and Specification for the HTC One SV
HTC managed to impress us last year with its phone releases, including the mid-rangers the HTC One V and the HTC One S. To begin 2013 in the right way, HTC has released the One SV, which offers 4G support in the body of a very capable mid-range phone.
Looking good
The back of the One SV is matt white, which we thought might attract scuffs, but it survived outings in bags and pockets while staying in good shape. The back plate is eased off to get to the battery, SIM card and Micro SD slots. The back plate clips back on easily and fits nicely.
A quick look tells you straight away that this is an HTC handset - note the rounded corners and the black glossy front. Here's where you'll find the touch-sensitive keys for home, back and recent app. Around the edge of the handset sits a slim silver coloured plastic band. The power button sits on the top and the volume rockers are located on the right side.
Stale Ice Cream
It's a shame the One SV runs on the older Android Ice Cream sandwich, although it does benefit from the excellent HTC Sense 4.1 user interface. We would have liked to have seen Android Jelly Bean, but nevertheless, the interface offers a smooth experience, where you can switch between menus and desktops – and there's a good selection of widgets too. We'd expect to see an upgrade to Jelly Bean in the not-too-distant-future though.
Sense adds plenty of great features, customisation and widgets to the operating system. It just seems to be a tad confusing when adding desktops. You only get two to begin with, and you can't add in extras via the settings menu. Instead you need to hold down the home key to get the desktops menu to appear – and this is where you delete or add your desktops.
Four is the lucky number
On to 4G – and as we have found with other phones, streaming HD video in the middle of London is a breeze. Heading out of town speeds seem to be improving – nearly 20MB per second in zones four and five. For anyone who can afford the 4G contract price and who uploads lots of videos or photos and streams films and music, it's a joy to use.
Battery life is impressive when streaming video – we got a good five and a half hours out of a single charge. In normal use, you should get a good couple of days if you're doing a bit of net surfing, sending texts and emails – and it will last for days on standby.
Disappointing specs
Under the hood sits a dual-core Qualcomm chip, which is fine for running games and apps but will not be as futureproof as the quad-core processors found in other handsets now on the market. And as you can pick up a dual-core handset such as the Sony Xperia P for 100 quid less, it seems like a bit of an omission on HTC's part.
Media musts
Streaming media is where the One SV comes into its own. It may not have a super-HD display or quad-core processor, but high-res films looked good on the 4.3in screen. Viewing angles are impressive and on maximum brightness there will be no issues from glaring sunlight.
Music fans get the bonus of built-in Beats Audio software, which improves the quality of MP3 files – bringing them back to life, taking out any graininess and introducing some clarity and bass. If you're downloading decent files from a reputable music vendor, you may not need it.
The onboard storage is a stingy 8GB – and only 4GB on our review model was actually usable. Happily you can expand this by up to 32GB with the memory card slot. Plus there's 25G of free storage with DropBox on offer, so you can back up photos and other important files.
In the picture
There are two snappers – the front-facing one is a 1.6MP model, which takes clear portraits and is ideal for Skype chatting. You can also grab 1080p video, which looks excellent when watched back on a TV – although the regular focus adjustments proved somewhat distracting. There's a neat slow-motion mode, and you can take still shots while shooting video. Plus there's a neat range of sharing and editing facilities – you can even trim videos before uploading them to YouTube.
The five-megapixel snapper has a good autofocus, although it doesn't have the same full-screen sharpness seen on other phones' cameras. You can take a number of shots one after the other by holding down the shutter button. And you can play with all kinds of settings, such as filters, geo-tagging, white balance, ISO, smile detection and so on.
Our conclusion
Media fans will love the HTC One SV with its colourful display, 4G support and decent snapper. It runs on an older version of Android but has the bonus of the HTC Sense interface. However, the One SV is still a tad dear considering its specs. You could pick up the HTC Desire X for around £100 less – but the SV does have the 4G compatibility. Unless you're really set on a 4G upgrade this year, we'd suggest buying a 3G mid-ranger and saving some money.
