Chris Brown's formal sentencing in an L.A. court this afternoon brings his experience with the criminal justice system to a symbolic end of sorts. Read the full post.
Chris Brown sentenced: Has justice been served?
Why wasn't it ever mentioned how she smacked him around?
Ricky. C
Because smacking someone once in anger is justifiable. Reducing someone's face to a pulp is not so much…
- Ricky. C
I feel extremely bad for the young girl, and I don't believe Chris was open minded enough or at the time had the heart built inside of him to handle the situation better than he did. Period.. Now, after the flames of violence and Hatred stemming from him and the ones of Jealosy and feminism dwindle from her, and the smoke clears and tie alone for the next five years is spent, I believe you will see A Different person, if he hasn't already began progress toward change..
Seriously doubt that! He's apologizing because he needs fans to make money on his new cd. He's not that sorry.
- j-hawk
Wow, I had no idea he was the first male celeb in the history of mankind to hit a female! I could care less about my favorite stars personal lives! I, LMAO at the ones who keep saying "A man should never hit a woman." All of them are lying through their teeths. Some mnay celebs male and female have hit their love ones(I'm not saying its okay) but millions have done it. Sean Peen beat Madonna; he still won an Oscar. I heard she started it.
typo: "So many"
I hate chris brown now,ddn't used to but that stuff he did wasn't cool at all. He can apologize all he wants but I will never buy anything of his, and I sure as hell wont listens to his crappy music on the radio either. He won't last that much longer in the industry if he can't make money. To abuse a girl is bad enough. But the way he did it was pure torture and shows deep problems with him. His apology wasn't sincere either,he only did it somaybe he could get someone to buy his album coming out. What he did wasnt about his music is hat some have said so it shouldn't matter. I dont wont to buy anyone or listen to/like anyone who isn't a good person outside of the spotlight.So it doesn't matter if it was personal and didn't have to do with his music. Who wants to represent or endorse somebody that would do that at all. I'm surprised his label didn't drop him, they probably will if he doesn't sell anything. He's a loser who's got serious issues. He won't last.
Only reason he became a little famous is because he imitates MJ. Obviously he isn't that creative. He basically got famous for dancing like MJ, thats it. Now he's famous for being a piece of sh**. Not to mention a pussy for beating up a girl. Once an abuser, usually always an abuser.He deserves no respect in the industry for anything. He's a horrible human being that deserves jail. The only people that will want to work with him are rappers, it's not like they have a great deal of morals either. They treat women with no respect too,like objects and possesions. I wouldn't bet on chris brown being around for even 3 more years in the industry. He's a half a$$ entertainer who beats and tortures women. Chris Brown sucks!!!!!! Let's all just ot buy his stuff and hopefully he will go away. Most radio stations are't playing him either and won't. We will all just protest against him. Maybe it will work!
I sure won't be listening to the guy again after what all he did to Rihanna. He should've gotten alot worse of punishment than he did for the things he did to her. That's crazy!
No you all dont know anythinq about Chris Brown,
and as for all the poeple that say he deserves it , i really think he dosent, he has so much qood talent and he has done alot in the music industry. so i dont thinkk any ov you faqqots should be putting him down, if you dont like Chris ? Well why comment on what hes done ?
Just move on in life, theres no need to keep carrying on about the mistake he made.
Im with Chris 100% all the way.
LoVe You ChriS BrOwn
What are you obsessed with him, because pretty sure you don't know him at all either except in your head. He hasn't done that much in music either, a few hits. Sucky artists even get a few hits too. You should definately learn to spell before you want to call people names, it would make you look alot smarter for sure youngster. We didn't make the question, we are just responding to it. These are our opinions, that makes you so important that you can yell at everyone on the site, because you're obsessed with the guy or part of his dinky fan club. Sure says alot about you! You don't care as long as the music is good, what normal girl would say that about a guy that beat women!?! Very odd and a bit strange.
- j-hawk
We're answerng the question lana. Chill out! You probably are the girl that would alway go back to the guy for beating on you. Get some self worth, Rihanna did. And he's done alot for music, yah in the few years he's been around,What 3-4 hits? WOW, doesn't make him a good person though. IF you were smarter you'd realize that his music has nothing to do with him as a person. If you want to yell at people then you should learn to spell correctly first, because that makes you look dumb! You're probably young though, teenie boppers love him because they don't know much of anything.

Customer Reviews - Zoku® Ice Cream Maker Blue
Showing 2 of 2 reviews
Great product - Very Happy with results" by Joy
We have tried various ready made desserts such as chilled custard, Alpro soya desserts, Activia 0%fat flavoured yogurts, and creme caramel and they have all turned out really well into a lovely creamy style ice-cream. We usually do 1 pot of dessert at a time and find that we can make 3 ice-cream desserts one after another before it needs to be washed up and put back in the freezer before using it again. I think it is excellent as it turns low calorie desserts into ice-cream. Buying ready made cartons of ice-cream that taste like this would be quite expensive.
Sadly does not do what it says on the tin!" by Ms Kelly
I have previously bought the Quick Pop Maker and been very impressed, so I bought this expecting it to perform equally well. Unfortunately the bowl design just doesn't work. I've tried freezing it for over 24 hours to see of that made a difference but it didn't. The only way it would work would be to use very, very little mixture, maybe 2-3 tablespoons. I have since purchased the Chef 'N Sweet Spot maker which is brilliant and much easier to use. It might cost more but at least you get ice cream not milkshake. I had to give this 1 star but would rather have given no stars at all.
A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry that the Zoku doesn't make a large enough quantity for you.Please note:The Ice Cream Maker is designed to make individual portions (using 5ozs of ice cream mixture) and to store easily in your freezer. To use, remove the frozen bowl from the freezer and place it into the protective sleeve, pour in your ice cream mixture, churn and scrape the stainless steel bowl with the included spoon, and watch as the ice cream freezes in minutes before your eyes

TravelPod Member ReviewsTHE PLAZA Seoul
The Plaza hotel in Seoul is an excellent choice for business travel or simply pleasure. The service by staff is high quality, the rooms are modern, clean and of good size. The facility has a SPA located in the front building with incredible views of the city, Golf range, Sauna and steaming room. Hotel guests have access to the GYM and Pool free of cost. The underground levels have boutiques, travel agencies, a professional tailor and a delicious french bakery, among other things. It is located in a privileged location, right in front of the City Hall and minutes away from Seoul Finance Center, as well as 10 minute walking distance from Namdaemun, Namsan Park and N Seoul Tower, Myeong Dong shopping district, and other attractions. There is also a bus that takes you to and from Incheon International Airport at very affordable cost (around US$15), every 30 minutes or so.

Once In a Blue Moon
When I leave Seoul I promise myself to come back ASAP. It is a beautiful city like no other. People are warm, kind and good looking. The city is one of the safest and cleanest. This last trip I was finally able to enjoy more time on my own just getting lost in the Seoul charm. Don't leave without eating at a BBQ joint!
I didn't have any expectations of Seoul. I'd never been to Asia but I'd heard on good authority that the South Koreans were extremely accommodating, approachable and about to take the world by storm. "They're the Asian underdogs" the Minister would tell me on the plane. I was intrigued to meet these …

We logged into CNN's homepage and suddenly saw what they were so concerned about.

Eventually it was time to go and we were all more than happy to get onto the warm dry bus. My shoes had soaked through completely and I peeled off my socks to try to work the circulation back into my toes. A short bus ride later and we were out into the rain again (shoes back on) and into the streets.
This time we were headed to a dance performance, but none of us really understood ...

Regional Planning
Recognizing the need for better land-use decisions, and the limitations of effective municipal governance, the New Jersey Legislature has passed an impressive succession of laws to promote regional planning.
Through these efforts, the Legislature showed its willingness to retrieve powers it had earlier delegated to the municipalities under the Municipal Land Use Law and other statutes in order to transform land-use governance in specific locations. The most significant statutes in this series are: Hackensack Meadowlands Development Act (1969), the Pinelands Protection Act (1979) and the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act (2004). Together these regional areas comprise 2,800 square miles, or 37 percent of the state's land area. Regional planning occurs in a less comprehensive manner on the county level, authorized by the New Jersey County Planning Enabling Act (1935). Other groups of municipalities have formed voluntary regional planning organizations in areas including the Sourland Mountain Area and the Great Swamp Watershed.
In 2012, after Hurricane Sandy devastated the New Jersey Shore, that area became a new focus for conversations around regional planning. To help inform the discussion, New Jersey Future has built a resource page focused on rebuilding a resilient shore.
The New Jersey Conference on the Fourth Regional Plan highlighted issues of affordability, transportation, technology, access to opportunity, and climate change.
A regional conference Nov. 14 will explore the next generation of big ideas to be included in Regional Plan Association's Fourth Regional Plan.
At the Lincoln Institute symposium, panelists stressed that innovative resiliency solutions need collaboration and a regional focus.
We need to begin the difficult conversation about how to accommodate rising sea levels and future severe storms, if we're going to be ready for the next Sandy.
The New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust's plan for its revolving funds must be improved if the funds are to enhance resilience to extreme weather.
April 1, 2014 — Three different types of housing developments; two plans to revitalize fading downtowns; a plan that transformed an industrial riverfront into a premier urban asset; a project that will serve as an anchor of hope to its surrounding community; and a region-wide plan for smart economic growth are all winners of New Jersey Future's 2014 Smart Growth Awards
An afternoon symposium Oct. 30, 2014, in conjunction with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, focuses on how to advance, and pay for, increased resilience in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. Approved for 2 AICP CM credits.
New Jersey Future and Regional Plan Association are convening a New Jersey Regional Conference to bring forward the next generation of "big ideas" to enhance prosperity, livability, and environmental sustainability in the tri-state region. Approved for 2.5 AICP CM credits.
A conference on the first anniversary of Superstorm Sandy examines the rebuilding progress made to date, and the work still left to do.
March 11, 2014 — New Jerseyans concerned about the state's ability to withstand future storms now have the opportunity to weigh in on a document that could lay the groundwork for a more resilient future. Comments will be accepted for a one-month period ending April 11.

Cookin with The Columns: A good summertime casserole
Meg and her neighbor/friend, Lisa Konupka, are experimenting with lots of new recipes. This is a squash recipe by Paula Deen that Lisa tried this week that Meg said was so good, they made it again the next night with zucchcini.
That's true with a lot of recipes--you can do an "old favorite" dish with a different vegetable or with a couple of different ingredients and it changes the whole dish. She says you can also make this as just a casserole if you don't want to stuff the shells. Just spray the dish with Pam and cook the same way as in the shells. Sounds delicious!

"Did you see X-Factor?!"
"Funnily enough Alice, I was too busy cutting my ears off with a pair of garden shears."
"I only asked…."
"And scratching my eyes out with a rusty nail."
"OK Charles I get the point. Anyone else watch X-Factor?"
"I did Alice, but only because my wife had it on."
Charles snorted "Of course you did Alan, your wife left you 5 years ago…"
"Well, not left Charles, just…….er, not quite as engaged with me as she was. To be honest, she's started to smell a bit, but she always liked X-Factor, so it's the least I can do."
"You're getting as sick as Charles, Alan"
"No, it's true, I had Harold Shipman and his patient in the back of my cab once."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fort Ellice will greet visitors again
Nature Conservancy of Canada now holds title to historic site
Manitobans are about to gain access to a historical fort site and it's not Upper Fort Garry.
The old Fort Ellice site, which governments have been trying to buy for at least four decades, has finally been purchased from private interests and will soon be open to visitors.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the new title holder of the property near Russell, striking a deal with Arthur and Christine Fouillard, who have owned the land since 1955 and used much of it for pasture for livestock.
The Nature Conservancy will not say how much it paid, but the Free Press has learned the sale price was $1.8 million. That's for the Fouillards' entire 1,416 hectares, including some homes and other buildings. The fort site is only a small portion of that. The Fouillard family will maintain leasing rights to some buildings and pasture for a fee, the Nature Conservancy said.
"This has the opportunity to be a showcase for the Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba in terms of conservation, education and research opportunities," said Winnipegger Ken Mould, whose donation, along with his wife, Sharon, made the deal a reality. Ken, a retired veterinarian, and Sharon, a retired family doctor, donated $265,000 to the sale. The rest of the money came from general grants the Nature Conservancy receives from the provincial and federal governments. The province donates $1.5 million per year.
"It just appealed to us on a number of accounts: Its important history, its songbird population, its attraction physically because of its river valleys. We're both Saskatchewan natives and have Prairie roots," said Mould.
"I think it's a great idea," said Gordon Goldsborough, secretary of the Manitoba Historical Society, who visited the Fort Ellice site last summer. "Fort Ellice is not as well-known as Fort Garry because it was not as busy, but it was a major fur trade post. I think this is important."
"For us, it's win-win," said RM of Ellice Reeve Guy Huberdeau. "We're going to have total access to a piece of property we wanted to begin with." Nature Conservancy has offered the municipality the fort site for $1 on a 25-year lease.
The Nature Conservancy's primary goal is the preservation of a unique ecosystem, said Kevin Teneycke, Brandon-based director for NCC.
The Fort Ellice site is a fusion of sandhill prairie, oak-aspen forest, mixed-grass prairie and aspen parkland. Some endangered species in its ecosystem include the Baird's sparrow, Sprague's pipit and chestnut-collared longspur.
However, NCC is well-aware of the site's historic significance. It has final say over plans being drawn up by the RM for some low-impact development, such as a walking trail and historic markers where buildings were located. The nearby village of St. Lazare also has a Fort Ellice Interpretive Centre.
Fort Ellice was once the main trade and transportation hub between Fort Garry and Fort Edmonton. A regular flow of oxcarts traversed the 427-kilometre trail from Fort Garry to Fort Ellice (Winnipeg's Ellice Avenue is named after the fort, which in turn is named after Edward Ellice, a British investor in the Hudson's Bay Company). The first Fort Ellice was built in 1831 and a new fort replaced it in 1862. The Hudson's Bay Company sold the property into private hands in 1925. The site is on a unique prairie mesa with a sprawling vista overlooking plains where thousands of bison once roamed. It's also bracketed by the Assiniboine Valley and is near the confluence of the Assiniboine and Qu'Appelle rivers.
The Fouillards fought a bitter expropriation battle with the RM of Ellice in recent years. The RM wanted to preserve and open the 116-hectare fort site to the public. The RM was forced to give up the expropriation when its legal costs -- it must pay legal costs for both sides in an expropriation -- grew to nearly $350,000 with no end in sight.
There are no remnants of the fort today other than indentations where the fort posts once stood and some historic grave sites. Both Métis and Dakota people consider the place a significant heritage site. Aboriginal and Métis people settled around the fort for the economy it started.
The fort site has potential as another tourist attraction in northwestern Manitoba with nearby Asessippi Ski Hill and the historic row of wooden grain elevators at Inglis. St. Lazare is about 40 kilometres south of Russell. The RM hopes the Fort Ellice site can be open to the public by next summer.

While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage.

She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
