Eva Longoria's Lesbian Scene in 'Without Men' Trailer (VIDEO)
Eva Longoria gets pretty racy in her new film Without Men! The trailer was just released online and shows Eva getting it on with female star Kate del Castillo.
"It was a little difficult as the two girls are both straight so they were very nervous and laughed a lot," director Gabriela Tagliavini told Fox News about the lesbian scene. "But I think that just made it even lovelier. [Female audiences] don't want to watch porn, so it was all very sensual, both are very beautiful women aside from being incredibly funny."
Christian Slater and The Office's Oscar Nunez also star in the film.

Flu in Vermont said to be on riseJanuary 12,2013
MONTPELIER — Incidents of the flu appear to be rising in Vermont.
As of last week, about 20 percent of hospital visits were for respiratory illnesses and about 5 percent of visits to doctors' offices were for flulike symptoms.
Three adults have died, all of them in December.
Vermont Health Department officials say the rates of the flu are higher than other years in Vermont but that the number of deaths does not appear out of the ordinary.
A total of 10 people died from the flu last year, seven in 2011 and none in 2010.

I would appreciate any info or opinions re: the Dunlop tires.......Thanks.
I have a set of Dunlop DZ101 on my Mitsu 7 seater here in Hong Kong. Below are my impressions on this tire:
Dry road: Lot's of grip and predictable and they still grip the road when it's starting to slide and they slide in a progressive way. The compound is quite sticky. Your tires will kick up alot of debris on the road onto the inner fender. It's like driving a rally car if there are many debris on the road. Tire wear is minimal, I have done around 16000miles on them and they still have around 60%. I am driving very hard, spinning, fast on corners.
Wet road: It's only soso, it will loose grip quite early and massive understeer (maybe because my Mitsu is front wheel drive car)
road noise: It was very quiet when new and now seems abit louder.
Price: It's quite reasonable.
So, I am quite happy with them but I am not sure how they would perform on a E90.
Hope this helps.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- Over the past five years real estate has generated more negative news than positive and rightly so. But over the past several weeks the positive stories, both local and nationally, are more frequent than the negative ones.
Does this mean that real estate markets have finally turned the corner?
Here to give us the answer to this question is WINK's real estate expert Denny Grimes from Denny Grimes & Co. at Royal Shell Real Estate.

Royal Sonesta Marks First Year with $25M Reno
Friday June 7th, 2013 - 9:16AM CGKDI

HOUSTON—The Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston will mark its one-year anniversary by embarking on an extensive, $25 million renovation.
The renovation will focus on interior spaces, all 485 guestrooms, food and beverage outlets, 50,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event venues, plus a substantial enhancement of existing amenities, such as the rooftop swimming pool.
General Manager Monte Hansen said, "The design will encourage our guests to look at Houston from a different point of view. Many aspects of the renovation, from the sculptural light fixtures to the contemporary lobby and guestroom art, reflect the influence of science and technology. This is not merely a facelift, but rather a dramatic reinvention of this world-class hotel."
Royal Sonesta Houston will kick off the renovation, which is being handled by Dallas, TX-based Looney & Associates, on June 28, with the majority of work slated for completion by early autumn.
Rebranded on July 16, 2012 as the first and only full-service Royal Sonesta in Texas, it is near sister property Sonesta ES Suites Houston.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

was very hesitant in purchasing this product but i ended up getting it after a friend convinced me and i'm very happy with that decision. i assumed that i'd have to continuously go over the line to achieve a presentable result but with one stroke it leaves you with a bold black colour. it's exactly what it advertises- precise- but that also has to do with how well you know how to apply it. i've also had it for quite a while now and it has yet to run out. favourite eyeliner ever!
This is the first liquid eyeliner I've ever used, and as far as I know, it does what it's supposed to do. I love the felt tip and the intense black color. It's fairly easy to use for a beginner like me. However, the tip is a little flimsy and dry, making it hard to create a thin line. Not sure if I would repurchase, seeing as there are many other drugstore liners I have yet to try.
Love it, it just works better upside down, which proves to be difficult when doing the left side of my face. Not like other pens where u can press it to wet the tip. Still great and long lasting though!
I've been using this eyeliner for a couple of months before I found another drugstore eyeliner (Lineur Intense) that I prefer just by a bit. It makes it really really easy to do winged eyeliner-which I do on a daily basis.
I do like how thin the felt tip is, but after a while it's really hard to get the product at the tip-as many other people have mentioned. The colour is great, comes out really pigmented for me.
The reason why I'm not 100% in love with this eyeliner is because it smudges on me quite easily (without me even rubbing my eyes accidentally).
I'm not sure if I'd repurchase this eyeliner again. I may repurchase this product again but continue to try out other ones in the mean time.
More reviews by TinkerbellonCrack
I had been using the Physician's Formula Serum pen liner before this but was off-put by its price point for a ds liner and the slight sheen it imparted. The Maybelline Master Precise liner has a very pointy felt tip, much better than any felt tip liquid liner I have ever seen. The product does not need to be clicked into the applicator or shaken really so you don't waste product the way you do with other liquid liners. The pigmentation of this liner is excellent; no bluish watery effects here and I really don't have to go over the line more than once. The finish is very black and matte. I have not experienced flaking or smudging with this liner although it does take a moment to set so be careful when applying. This is my go-to liner for daily looks, it is ridiculously easy to use even for the shakiest hand. Affordable and performs beautifully.
EDIT 7.1.13: Wore this for a concert and it was completely gone from my face at the end of the night. I will say it was an 8-hour affair in NYC outdoor heat. Even so, drugstore liners have never worn off completely on me before so this product isn't ideal for long-wearing/outdoor/waterproof purposes.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great product for an eyeliner pencil! It stays on throughout the day, even after exercising moderately, there's barely a smudge. My eyelids are also sensitive to makeup products and I have had no reactions whatsoever to this pencil. Will buy again :).
Such an amazing eyeliner. I've been using a liquid liner with a brush by elf, and now ill never go back. This one is sooo easy as the felt tip is stiff and doesn't bend around when you're trying to apply it. This is definitely my new go to liquid eyeliner
I got this after reading rave reviews and because the pen format is how I prefer to apply liner - lasts way longer for me than pencils, and is quicker and more precise than gels. Unfortunately this one fell short in many areas when compared to the high-end versions. Pros: fair price, rich black color, nice pen format, does not smudge, lasts all day with no problem. Cons: very dry and draggy (even when it's brand new and there should be plenty of product); you have to work hard to get a perfect smooth line; difficult to remove completely. Seems cheap, especially when compared to the Stila Stay All Day version of this and Geisha Ink, my personal HG. Will not re-purchase.
- Does not smudge
- Does not fade
- Is good for colouring the waterline of my eyes
- the tip is quite long, and a little awkward to use at first
Overall, it's a fantastic drugstore liner I just wish the tip was shorter and less awkward to use. After a bit of practice, it of course gets easier to use. And I've found that laying the side/edge of the pen on the top lid creates a really nice cat eye.
After having a really bad experience with another Maybelline liquid eyeliner, I was really hesitant to try this out. But I'm glad I picked it up! This is so pigmented, smooth and waterproof! I tested it out and had a shower with it on and it stayed put and didn't budge at all. The thing is though, I have quite oily lids so I am yet to test this out during the day because I'm worried by the end of it I'll look like a mess!
Going from the other reviews, I'm guessing the quality is hit and miss with this product because I found mine o be really pigmented while some have said there's no pigment at all. But I think this is a good product. Def recommend it!

Drivers face lengthy detours around I-5 bridge collapse
Congestion levels along the I-5 corridor in Skagit County will depend largely on how many people heed the warnings to stay away from the area.
Seattle Times staff reporters
The severity of the holiday weekend's congestion through the Interstate 5 corridor in Skagit County will depend on how many travelers heed the warnings to avoid it.
"We're hopeful that people will adjust their plans, but this is one of the biggest travel weekends that we have," said Washington State Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Allende.
By Friday afternoon, drivers were reporting delays of an hour or more due to the Thursday evening collapse of a Skagit River bridge that normally carries about 70,000 vehicles a day.
Through the day Friday, traffic grew heavier on the detour routes, and the delays could increase over the weekend, Allende said.
"It's going to be slow going out there. ... We're advising people to stay home if they can, or leave as early as possible," Allende said.
At the same time, there are some people who likely aren't going to listen: participants, for example, in Bellingham's annual 93-mile "Ski to Sea" relay Sunday. It will attract as many as 4,000 participants.
Rather than sending all traffic on a single detour route, the WSDOT offered several alternatives.
Northbound traffic, for example, is being rerouted off I-5 at Fir Island Road (Exit 221) south of Mount Vernon. One route going west at that point re-connects with I-5 at Burlington, but drivers headed to Canada are advised to go east and connect with Highway 9.
The detours, however, still have to cross the Skagit River. Most routes send thousands of cars across narrow bridges never intended for that level of traffic.
While acknowledging the concerns, WSDOT spokeswoman Kris Olsen said, "We would not put traffic on a bridge we thought was unsafe."
She said the department was continuing to tweak the detour routes, and it had done things like synchronize the stop lights through Mount Vernon to move cars along.
By midmorning Friday, traffic was already thick going northbound along nearby South Burlington Boulevard, and by noon, the southbound route was also slowed.
In an effort to ease the crush, Amtrak Cascades announced it would add another round-trip train between Seattle and Bellingham in coming weeks. The railroad, working with the state Department of Transportation, BNSF Railway and Sound Transit, plans to add a morning departure from Seattle.
Amtrak Cascades already provides four trips a day over the Skagit River Rail Bridge, which is fully functional. Amtrak Cascades Thruway Buses add 10 more trips through the area.

WEST LAFAYETTE – Fellow sophomore Austin Appleby closed the gap during the first two weeks of preseason camp, but returning starting quarterback Danny Etling was selected by coach Darrell Hazell to start Purdue's regular-season opener Aug. 30 against Western Michigan.
Etling, who passed for 1,690 yards and 10 touchdowns as the Boilermakers' starter for the final seven games of the 2013 season, and Appleby, who completed 5 of 6 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in limited action last season, were told of the decision Monday morning.
Hazell shared the decision with the media after Monday's two-hour practice.
"They both played extremely well during the first two weeks of practice, but I think the biggest thing coming out of the spring was that Danny was a little bit ahead," Hazell said. "Austin did a great job of closing the gap, and I feel 100 percent confident putting Austin in the game.
"But I felt like after the spring season, Danny had the edge, and someone had to take it from him. That is the only reason. I told Austin this morning that I have never been more proud of a guy and would be comfortable putting him in if we need to. I feel really good about both of them."
Hazell also said Monday that as of now, his intention is to redshirt freshman David Blough, who competed with Etling and Appleby in the spring after graduating from high school last December and enrolling at Purdue in January.
"Obviously, I was excited," Etling said. "I now, hopefully, will have another season to continue growing and improving with my team. All three of us competed hard, and we have three very capable quarterbacks in that quarterback room.
"We will continue to push each other. We're all pretty young, so we will continue to keep moving along. From a year ago, I just diagnose things so much quicker. You realize where the safeties are, and you take your pre-snap look. I feel like I am so much further ahead than I was at this time last year."
So does Appleby, who will continue to push Etling and was glad to hear what Hazell had to say about him.
"That is a great compliment to have from the head coach," Appleby said. "I have worked very, very hard, and we have a very good and close-working relationship. It is great to hear when the head coach has 100 percent trust in you to lead this team.
"It is equally good when your locker room feels the same way. That speaks to the preparation I have put in, and ultimately the production I have had out here during camp. I still have a great deal of confidence going into the season."
Veteran running back/wide receiver Akeem Hunt is confident either Etling or Appleby will do a good job when called upon as Purdue hopes to improve on a 1-11 record in 2013.
"The quarterbacks have impressed me when it comes to mindset and their willingness to fight back when they have done something wrong," Hunt said. "They come back to the huddle and focus on the next play. Their mental toughness has impressed me a lot.
"Danny knows the offense and has been making checks really well. He has been a playmaker."

Noam Chomsky on the Legacy of Ariel Sharon: Not Speaking Ill of the Dead "Imposes a Vow of Silence"
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon died Saturday at the age of 85 after eight years in a coma. Sharon was one of the most dominant political figures in Israel's history, involved in each of Israel's major wars dating back to its founding in 1948. Among Palestinians, Sharon was one of the most reviled political figures in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is seen as father of the settlement movement and an architect of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon that killed a reported 20,000 Palestinian and Lebanese. We discuss Sharon's legacy with three guests: Noam Chomsky, world-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University; and Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, widely regarded as one of the world's leading scholars on the Israeli-Arab conflict. "There is a convention that you're not supposed to speak ill of the recently dead, which unfortunately imposes a kind of vow of silence, because there is nothing good to say," Chomsky says. "He was a brutal killer; he had one fixed idea in mind which drove him all his life: a greater Israel, as powerful as possible, as few Palestinians as possible. ... He doubtless showed courage and commitment to pursuing this ideal, which is an ugly and horrific one."
Noam Chomsky: Sabra & Shatila Massacre That Forced Sharon's Ouster Recalls Worst of Jewish Pogroms
We look at one of the most shocking incidents in the career of the late former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon: the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Up to 2,000 Palestinians died on Sept. 16-17, 1982, when the Israeli military allowed a Christian militia to attack the camp. Then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon was forced to resign after a special Israeli investigative panel declared him to be "personally responsible" for the massacre. We air a description of the killings by Ellen Siegel, a Jewish-American nurse who was working at Gaza Hospital at the Sabra camp at the time of the attacks, and speak with Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University, and Noam Chomsky, world-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Rashid Khalidi & Noam Chomsky: For Peace Today, US Must End Support for Sharon's Expansionist Legacy
Upon the death of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, we look at how his legacy of separating Gaza from the West Bank and building a "separation wall" to seal off Israeli settlements has impacted the peace process in the Middle East today. We speak with Noam Chomsky, world-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University; and Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, widely regarded as one of the world's leading scholars on the Israeli-Arab conflict. "What [Secretary of State] John Kerry should do is insist on implementing a very broad international consensus, virtually universal, calling for a two-state settlement on the internationally recognized border," Chomsky says. "This is supported by the entire world; it's been blocked by the United States for 35 years. We should shift that policy, join the world, and carry out measures which might conceivably bring a semi-decent peace."

The survivors of The Walking Dead have found themselves in yet another perilous position.
During Sunday's season finale, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his small group made their way to Terminus, a community that promised safety for all those who arrived. Once the group learned just how much of a lie that was, they quickly tried to make a run for it. But they ended up being forced by Terminus leader Gareth (Andrew J. West) into a train car, where they were reunited with Glenn (Steven Yeun), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.). Suffice it to say, Gareth and the people of Terminus are not allies.

"What they're going to discover is having been fake-married for a long time, real marriage is not an easy thing. When you have two kids, there's family to contend with.

AMC is at a crossroads. Although the cable network's successes in 2013 are hard to ignore — Breaking Bad ended its landmark run to critical raves and an astounding 400-plus percent growth in total viewers, and The Walking Dead remained TV's top-rated drama with a Season 4 premiere that drew 16 million sets of eyeballs — the network faced its share of setbacks. A resurrected third season of The Killing earned better reviews, but it was canceled (again) after failing to deliver an audience (it's since been revived again by Netflix). Worse, freshman drama Low Winter Sun was utterly rejected by viewers despite being paired with Bad's successful final run.Winter TV: Get scoop on your favorite returning showsThe truth is, AMC...

Waratahs recall Drew Mitchell for Blues
March 22, 2013
Drew Mitchell has taken strides to address unfavourable perceptions © PA Photos
Drew Mitchell has been recalled to the New South Wales Waratahs starting line-up, the winger named to play against the Blues in Sydney on Sunday after he was dropped from the team that lost to the Cheetahs.
Mitchell takes the spot of Lachie Turner, who was dropped from the squad altogether, with Peter Betham retaining his position on the opposite wing.
Mitchell was omitted from the squad that played the Cheetahs in round five, and was replaced by Betham, while Turner made his first start of the year on the opposite flank, because coach Michael Cheika believed he was not pulling his weight as a senior player.
Mitchell said last week in an interview on Fox Sports' Rugby HQ that he did not agree with Cheika's assessment, but "he's made me aware of it this week, it's now something I can address".
Rob Horne, meanwhile, was promoted to start at inside centre instead of Berrick Barnes, who has been ruled out for six weeks with a thumb injury. Barnes had surgery this week to insert a wire into his dislocated right thumb, and will miss the majority of the Waratahs' campaign.
Israel Folau will start at fullback with Bernard Foley and Brendan McKibbin in the halves. Cheika has stuck with the same forward pack that went down to the Cheetahs, but he has made a few changes on the bench with re-signed prop Sekope Kepu returning alongside Jed Holloway to replace Jeremy Tilse and Lopeti Timani respectively.
Waratahs: Israel Folau; Peter Betham, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne, Drew Mitchell; Bernard Foley, Brendan McKibbin; Pat McCutcheon, Michael Hooper, Dave Dennis (captain); Kane Douglas, Sitaleki Timani; Paddy Ryan, John Ulugia, Benn Robinson. Replacements: Luke Holmes, Sekope Kepu, Mitchell Chapman, Jed Holloway, Matt Lucas, Ben Volavola, Tom Kingston.

No comparison to other brands Review by Bob Brunn
I just received an A-2 from you and the quality is outstanding. I also own an A-2 from Cooper and there is no comparison. I work in the automotive field and wear the cooper to work and save the US Auth for other use. I don't want to get her dirty.
Saving up for a G-1.
Thanks and keep up the good work! (Posted on 7/21/10)
Outstanding Review by Eric W. Barry, M.D.
Outstanding! My size 42R Horsehide Russet A2 (that I exchanged for a
44R) arrived today, and I couldn't be more pleased. The color and fit are perfect, the new leather smell is intoxicating, and the custom name tag you guys made for me is exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I went with the smaller size, as the fit is consistent with 1940's photos I've seen of Jimmy Doolittle, Jimmy Stewart, and others. (Okay, 1960's pictures of Bob Crane and Steve McQueen, too.)
I've spent the last half hour comparing features and details on my new jacket with photos in Jon Maguire's books (and Eastman's Golden Book!) and I've concluded that US Authentic does a great job duplicating the WWII A2 for a very reasonable price. In addition, your service is so prompt, courteous, and efficient, it makes my head spin!
You've got one very satisfied ex-Green Beret/ex-Army Doc up here in Maine! Thanks. (Posted on 7/21/10)
You have a customer for life Review by K. Foley
I am writing this letter to thank you for making a great product. My order was put in the mail on Sat and on Tues the jacket arrived! That is 1 day shipping. The wrong size was ordered by me so i called at 8am to return it. I was given a return # and 3 days later the new jacket arrived! The customer service of your company is fantastic and the A-2 you produce is unbelievable, the weight of the jacket is just right, craftsmanship is perfect, color is perfect, price is $200 less than Eastman, Lost Worlds. Mr. Dover you have a customer for life! BTW whoever crafted my jacket should receive a pay raise. Thank you. (Posted on 7/21/10)
Great and fast service Review by Guus
I would like to thank U.S. Authentic for the great and fast service and for the quality of their products. Just recently I ordered a seal brown A2 and got it the next day. It's a fantastic jacket. Keep up the great work. (Posted on 7/21/10)
Excellent Review by Jonathan Glazer
Just got the A-2 yesterday. Excellent as usual!! I think the A-2 fits me a little better in the 42 than the 40. I love the jacket already and am wearing it today. My other two G-1s that you made me got away to my two sons so I will probably be ordering another G-1 plain-no insignias in the next couple of weeks. (Posted on 7/21/10)
Quality service Review by Bob Jacobs
If you are interested in an authentic and quality A-2 Flight Jacket, US Authentic is the place to purchase it. I received a seal brown horsehide A-2 from US Authentic as a Christmas gift. Mr. Dover stands behind his products with quality service. Compare other A-2 jackets on the A-2 Jacket Website and see for yourself. C****r, A****x, and Sc**t do not have the quality you find with Us Authentic. (Posted on 7/21/10)

Expertly crafted Review by Bruce Kendall
I received my A2 today and it is a beauty, indeed. It fits well, is expertly crafted, and appears to be authentic in every detail. It is hard for me to imagine a jacket more expertly crafted than this one. Obviously, I am very pleased. You may recall that I had intended to purchase an A2 from Flight Suits but opted to buy one from you after reading the testimonials on your web site. Looking at and wearing this jacket validates all of the testimonials. I would not hesitate to recommend U.S. Authentic to anyone interested in an authentic A2. Please convey my appreciation to the individuals who worked on my jacket for their excellent craftsmanship. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. (Posted on 7/21/10)
Rolex, BMW, and US Authenti Review by Steve Willey
I was relatively uninformed about the authentic aspects of A-2 jackets and after much study decided to try US Authentic. I ordered a goatskin model and when it arrived was impressed at the softness and style. I may never be an expert on the various things that make an "authentic" jacket, but I do recognize quality when I see it. Rolex, BMW, and US Authentic!! (Posted on 7/21/10)
Flawless leather Review by Byron Lang
Thanks for a wonderful jacket. I had been in the market for a substantial, quality USA made leather jacket for several weeks. I liked the style of the flight jacket and viewed many in stores and on the internet before making a decision. The store brands always seemed to have one imperfection or another. They were not of quality construction and were often manufactured of substandard materials in countries most of us are not familiar with. I found flaws with every jacket I examined.
I then came across U.S. AUTHENTIC' S website while looking for a reputable maker of flight jackets on the internet. I read the descriptions and the many letters of praise from satisfied customers around the country. I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a jacket site unseen, but was reassured by the full refund policy. I decided to take a chance and placed an order for a horsehide A-2 jacket. In just a few days it arrived, despite being shipped during the height of the Christmas rush season.
I was very pleasantly surprised upon receiving the jacket. Although I am not an expert on A-2 jackets, I was very impressed with the workmanship and the high quality leather used in construction. All the seams lined up perfectly and the leather was flawless. It is the best leather jacket I had seen in many years, and it seemed to exude a certain nostalgia of nobler time in America. To say that I am completely satisfied would be an understatement. Thanks again for a fine jacket. (Posted on 7/21/10)
Customer Reviews
- Seal Horsehide A-2 Review by John
- I purchased this jacket from its original owner, who apparently bought it and never wore it! The jacket came to me as if it had never even been tried on - the horsehide completely fresh and needing to be broken in. I haven't taken it off! What an amazing jacket. I had been researching the different reproductions extensively and decided I would go after one of these based on all of the great reviews. I made the right choice. Everything is perfect. The cotton thread, cotton liner, wool knits, great great great fit!! Can't say that enough. Awesome hardware too. I suspect I will be wearing this jacket for the rest of my life. Just emailed Shaul to order an A-1!! (Posted on 11/9/14)
- Exactly what I wanted Review by James
- Highly recommend U.S. Authentic. You'll read how Shaul is extremely responsive to messages and helpful with sizing and other recommendations in other reviews. That was true for me as well, but in addition to that I now have a custom flight jacket that was created exactly how I requested, and straight out of the box it is clear that this jacket is very well-made and will last a long, long time. Thanks again to Shaul and his excellent staff for a well-made, good looking, custom-made A2 that didn't cost a $1000. (Posted on 11/6/14)
- Perfect Fit! Review by Digger
- I just received your A-2 goatskin medium brown jacket and couldn't be happier. There was no guess work in sizing. I ordered my 46R suit size and the fit is spot on. Earlier I had ordered and returned an A-2 from a competitor. Using their size conversion chart I had opted for an XL (46 to48). The shoulders were too large and the torso and sleeves way too long. Thanks! (Posted on 10/25/14)

Meiyang Chang, who is returning to the big screen with a small role in Dibakar Banerjee's 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshi', says he has stayed away from movies as he was getting similar roles.
Singer-actor-anchor Meiyang Chang is all praise for rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh.
Singer-anchor-actor Meiyang Chang is tired of being considered a foreigner and finds it strange when people talk to him only in English.
Meiyang confirms he will be hosting the next season of `India`s Got Talent`.
Chang says candidly that he`s a good student rather than a natural talent.
It was a big day for Meiyang Chang. The Chinese Indian dentist-turned-singer-turned-actor Tuesday won dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4' and won Rs.50 lakhs, which he will share with his choreographer Marischa Fernandes. He outperformed TV actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was a consistent performer, and Yana Gupta, the Czech-born model-actress, who wowed everyone with her graceful dance moves.
Meiyang Chang wants to sing again, and that too for Bollywood.
He has hosted reality shows, acted in the movies, but `Indian Idol` season 3 contestant Meiyang Chang never got a chance to work as a playback singer in the films. He says competition is so fierce in the music industry that even established singers are struggling to find work.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Emergency Nevada rules to ensure babies
born to women inmates don't wind up in the hands of abusive caregivers while their mothers complete prison sentences were signed Friday by Gov. Jim Gibbons.
The regulations were approved following a tip to police that a 3-year-old girl, apparently a sexual abuse victim, recently taken by authorities from a Wisconsin woman during a drug bust was the child of a Nevada prison inmate. DNA tests to confirm the girl's identity are pending.
Under the rules signed by Gibbons, the state Health and Human
Services Department will work with the state Department of Corrections to ensure proper placement of babies born to inmates. In 2006 and 2007, 55 babies were born to women serving prison terms.
The new standards require that a prison social worker coordinate
pending child placements with pregnant women inmates. Once an
inmate picks a caregiver, that person will undergo a criminal background check.

Commissioner delivers opening address at the Irish Presidency Conference 'Bioeconomy in the EU: Achievements and directions for the future'
"The bioeconomy is our daily bread and butter - literally. It's the food on our plates, the water from our taps, the newspaper in our hands. It can transform our waste into valuable resources"
Dublin, 14 February 2013
Minister Coveney, Mr Bartolozzi, Mr Beehan, ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to thank the Irish Presidency for organising this conference. It is an honour to address you on this important subject, and to do so in such historic surroundings here in Dublin Castle.
People sometimes ask me - what is the bioeconomy?
There are many valid answers; it can mean different things to different people. One country or region's bioeconomy may look very different to another's, with varying emphasis on forestry, agriculture, the marine, or waste for example, depending on existing practices and available resources.

Countdown to Commencement: Amanda Scheutzow
This week's "Countdown to Commencement" video features Amanda Scheutzow, a Management major with a Marketing concentration. She was nominated by Libby Pinti, Assistant Director of Admissions and Events; Tom Racculia, Admissions Counselor; and Lori Hollenbeck, Assistant Dean, School of Business and Director, MBA Program.
Scheutzow has been praised for her dedication and hard work as a student ambassador in the Admissions Office. Her journey with Admissions began in the fall of her freshman year, and since then, she has moved up the ranks to Core Team Leader. As a Core Team Leader, she is responsible for hiring, recruiting, and training ambassadors. This year, she reviewed over 50 applicants and interviewed about 25. She also redesigned the ambassador training program. Pinti said she will always remember Scheutzow for her "infectious enthusiasm, friendliness, and outgoing personality."
Aside from Scheutzow's admissions accomplishments, she is very involved in different aspects of the College. She has been a member of the Resident Student Association, Orientation Team, Spring Event, Student Government, and is the student liaison for Beta Gamma Sigma, an International Honor Society serving business programs that are accredited by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
"Amanda is a natural leader and exudes a sense of 'you can do anything you put your mind and effort into,'" said Hollenbeck.

Being gay or lesbian is no longer a sentence to a life lived in the closet. But as a teenager, when most youth just want to fit in and be accepted, it can often feel that way.
Now a new video distributed by the RCMP is sending a clear message that "It Gets Better."
The statement is not new. In October 2010, following a rash of suicides in his community, Fort Worth, Texas, Councillor Joel Burns fought back tears as he told his painful story. He shared what it was like to be targeted as a result of being gay. It was then that he offered the wise advice.
He acknowledged to youth who were listening that high school is difficult and coming out was painful. But he advised them to give themselves a chance to see how much better it will get. That is when he offered a phrase that would soon spread around the world. "It gets better," he said.
Journalist Dan Savage and his husband Terry Miller launched an Internet-based project, It Gets Better, in September 2010, and it has only grown from there.
The RCMP video features real officers telling youth that there is nothing wrong with being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
Everyone's story is different. For most young people, it takes a lot of guts openly declare their sexuality. As Burns said, coming out is a painful process. It means telling the people closest to you something so personal and fearing that somehow it will be a disappointment to the people they love.
Although it is often hardest on our youth, the RCMP in this video should be commended for their bravery. Their example, and this video, will change lives.
As more public support emerges for gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people, the message is reversing. Youth today know that even if the people closest to them do not accept them for who they are, there are lots of others in their community who will. They are not alone.
The LGBT community is growing in Canada, and with it comes more acceptance and understanding. Hand-in-hand with that is so much more freedom - freedom to be themselves and freedom to live and love openly without fear of judgment. It is what everyone deserves.
Statistics Canada says it "has neither the definitive number of people whose sexual orientation is lesbian, gay, bisexual, nor the number of people who are transgender." That makes sense because sexual orientation is not an easy question to pose in a survey. Most times, these numbers are reported lower than reality simply because some people still hide the truth from everyone or they prefer to keep it private.
A 2009 Statistics Canada survey revealed that 2% of Canadians, 18 to 59 years old, are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. The National Post survey earlier this year determined that number was closer to 5%.
The number is not the most important factor anymore. We have to make sure today's youth understand that it does get better.
This is especially true in small cities, like Port Alberni. The statistics are no different here, but the support system available to youth is much smaller compared to larger urban areas. That means making sure they hear and see that there is nothing wrong with being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender - there is nothing wrong with them.
It is up to local community leaders to set an example. Schools need to share the video produced by the RCMP with age-appropriate classes. We have to make sure the youth of the Alberni Valley understand that they are not alone just because they are in a smaller community. Support systems exist, and they do not have to flea their hometown to discover that it does indeed get better.
" We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to email@example.com

One-Night Stands: 5 Shocking Facts About the Science of Hooking Up
See the surprising ways your brain (and your hips) play a role in your casual sex encounters.
It's a familiar scene: a thriving nightlife, a club or maybe a wine bar where glasses are clinking and singles are mingling before drifting off into the shadows — two by two. It's not the perfect picture of romance, but when you're caught up in the moment, a warm body feels like a fair substitute for love, right?
Hooking up is just a reality of the dating scene. But since when did the hookup scene become the place to find love? While you may think you're just living the carefree single life, your brain is influencing your decisions more than you might want to admit.
