Email update:)
Apparently when I switched servers, they started loading all of my emails onto the server without telling me they were going to re-route them and do that. So, I just spent the past hour or so rifling through some 3,000 + emails that have been saved. I've forwarded the pertinent ones to my main address at firstname.lastname@example.com and will respond to them as I can. MiniMoppel and Henning, I have found all of your submissions;) Thank you! So sorry to anyone who has been wondering a big fat WTF!?!
All accounts are now working properly and will all be routed to my main account (email@example.com) so we should not have an issue in the future. If you find that you have an issue and can't get ahold of me via email, leave a comment. I will be disabling disquis for commentary as the general consensus is that people dislike it. Wishing you all a wonderful day!!!

Michigan Football
Bowl sellout fastest in 62-year history
It's not the Michigan football team's ideal bowl, but apparently fans are still excited about it.
Just 13 hours after the Michigan-Florida matchup was announced Sunday night, the Capital One Bowl reached a sellout, Steve Hogan, the executive director of Florida Citrus Sports, announced yesterday.
Temporary bleachers were added after the sellout (65,438 people) was announced, but those seats subsequently sold out, too.
Said and Heard
"I'm not going (to Michigan). And it saddens me at times. You can't be in two places. I got a great place. I'm at home."
- Louisiana State coach Les Miles after his Tigers won the Southeastern Conference Title. Miles was widely considered to be the top choice for the job.
Going Bowling
Michigan may be Orlando bound, but where are more than 50 other NCAA teams going bowling over during the second half of December and early January? Here's a rundown of the games.

Mobile QB awaits Carr and Co.
Michigan still doesn't know who will coach it in its first game next season, but at least it now knows where Lloyd Carr will coach his last one.
In a matchup between two teams embroiled in a National Championship controversy last year, the Wolverines will play No. 9 Florida in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando at 1 p.m. on New Year's Day.
Scott Bell: The clock is ticking on Martin's coaching search
I've really liked Bill Martin since he took over as the athletic director at Michigan.
Martin turned a struggling Athletic Department into a self-sufficient one, transforming it from a debt-ridden mess into a Canham-esque model of prosperity.
How Michigan lost Miles
Nobody knows exactly what happened Saturday, or throughout the latter part of last week, but as of yesterday, Louisiana State coach Les Miles was still Louisiana State coach Les Miles.
Some how, some way, Michigan didn't get its man. And now it's left with no apparent options in its search for a head football coach.
So how did this happen?
How did Michigan miss out on its favorite son, a highly esteemed coach who has practically begged for the job his entire career?
The longshots for the Michigan coaching job
Name: Ron English
Education: University of California (1991 Bachelor); Arizona State University (1995 Masters)
Experience: Graduate assistant, Arizona State (1994-95); Outside linebackers coach, Northern Arizona (1996); Secondary coach, San Diego State (1996-97); Secondary coach, Arizona State (1997-2002); Secondary coach, Michigan (2002-05); Defensive coordinator, Michigan (2006-present).
BREAKING NEWS: Miles staying at LSU
Posted on Dec. 1, 12:45
Louisiana State coach Les Miles will stay with the Tigers, according to several reports.
Louisiana State is expected to hold a press conference sometime before today's game against Tennessee to announce a contract extention, which will make Miles one of the nation's highest-paid coaches.
Sleeper pick boasts pedigree
Hmm, Michigan hiring a relatively young, relatively unknown coach from a school in Ohio.
Remind you of any other situation in the Wolverines' past?
OK, before you attack me with your maize and blue torches, I understand Cincinnati Brian Kelly won't be the next Bo Schembechler.
Then again, who will?
Given Kelly's success as a head coach over the last 17 years, he's as good a choice as any of the other realistic candidates for the Michigan vacancy.

With over 12 years' experience in the UK supplying the lighting needs of such clients as Aston Martin Showrooms and McDonalds Restaurants, Johnston Lighting & Accessories recently expanded into the Middle East opening a regional office in Dubai in 2005.
As nominated lighting and maintenance products supplier to numerous major commercial and industrial sectors throughout the Middle East including hotels, hospitals, golf courses, banks, shopping malls and private developments, Johnston Lighting & Accessories offers a diverse range of services and products, including commercial lighting supplies, decorative light fittings and lighting components.
Offering a 'concept to completion' package with respect to clients' lighting requirements, Johnston Lighting & Accessories works closely with architects in the initial stages of a projects development right through to maintaining stocks and supplying the bulbs on a daily basis!
Introducing a unique concept to the Middle East to ensure error-free ordering of supplies, Managing Director Mrs Marie Johnston explains:
"We first introduced the concept of error-free ordering to McDonalds Restaurants in the UK, where a number of employees in each outlet needed access to purchasing information. Upon signing an annual agreement to supply the lighting requirements of all McDonalds Restaurants, we then developed a handbook for each outlet itemising every individual light fitting and bulb supplied by Johnston Lighting & Accessories.
This handbook contained a picture, reference number, description and location of every lighting component, enabling even the most inexperienced staff member to correctly identify the 'light over the 3rd oven" (for example), place an order and receive the correct replacement by the very next day."
Mrs Johnston continued: "In such a diverse multilingual environment as Dubai, our clients have found this to be an invaluable tool. Not only does it save them time, but it also ensures cost effectiveness as mistakes in ordering and supply are rarely encountered. This is a free tool we provide to our contracted clients and one that has been extremely well received."

The EU is considering including road transport in its Emissions Trading System (ETS), which would likely lead to heated debate between environmental groups and big business. Automakers would welcome the cost reductions involved with the inclusions, while environmental groups feel it would give car companies leverage to compel lawmakers to weaken restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. Analysts believe that including transport in the ETS would have little effect on carbon prices, as lawmakers would likely raise the emissions cap to accommodate the sector, which is Europe's largest source of greenhouse gases after power.

This invention relates to silicone in water emulsions and to methods of making them.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,013,682-A describes a method of making a silicone in water emulsion comprising mixing (I) a composition containing at least one polysiloxane, at least one organosilicon material that reacts with said polysiloxane by a chain extension reaction and a metal containing catalyst for said chain extension reaction, (II) at least one surfactant and (III) water to form a mixture; and emulsifying the mixture.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,973,068-A describes emulsion polymerizing a silanol-terminated resin and a vinyl monomer. Polymerization in the emulsion polymerization process occurs at the silicone water interface so that the rate of polymerization is faster with smaller particles because of the larger surface area. Thus, it is impossible to produce large particle size, high molecular weight silicone gum in water emulsions by emulsion polymerisation.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,379-A describes copolymerisation of an acrylate-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and an acrylate-terminated polyisobutylene by free radical polymerisation. EP 872509-A describes reaction of an acrylate-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with an amine-terminated polyisobutylene.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,962,165-A describes the reaction of an organohydrogen-polysiloxane with a multifunctional unsaturated monomer having unsaturated groups of different relativities such as allyl methacrylate. The allyl group reacts with Si�H groups and the methacrylate group subsequently undergoes free radical polymerisation.
In a process according to one aspect of the present invention for the preparation of an emulsion of a silicone organic block copolymer in water, a polydiorganosiloxane having terminal reactive groups (A), an organic material having terminal groups (B) which are reactive with the groups (A) and a catalyst are mixed and then emulsified in water with a surfactant and the resulting emulsion is subjected to conditions under which the reaction between groups (A) and (B) proceeds in the presence of the catalyst, thereby forming a copolymer chain containing polysiloxane blocks and blocks of organic material.
In a process according to another aspect of the invention for the preparation of an emulsion of a silicone organic block copolymer in water, a polydiorganosiloxane having terminal Si�H groups (A), an organic material having terminal aliphatically unsaturated groups (B) which are reactive with the Si�H groups (A) and a catalyst are emulsified in water with a surfactant and the resulting emulsion is subjected to conditions under which the reaction between groups (A) and (B) proceeds in the presence of the catalyst, thereby forming a copolymer chain containing polysiloxane blocks and blocks of organic material.
The emulsions produced by the process of this invention can have a wide variety of silicone copolymer concentrations, particle sizes and molecular weights, including novel materials having high concentrations of large particle silicone copolymer of high molecular weight. Moreover, the process results in emulsions in which the particle size and the molecular weight of the silicone inside the droplets are independent parameters. The particle size can for example be chosen within the range 0.1 to 1000 micrometres.
A novel emulsion of a silicone organic copolymer in water according to a further aspect of the present invention is characterised in that the copolymer comprises polydiorganosiloxane blocks and organic blocks and has a dynamic viscosity at 0.01 Hz in the range 10 to 1000000 Pas and a mean particle size of 0.3 to 1000 micrometers. The silicone emulsion copolymer preferably has dynamic viscosity of at least 1000 Pa.s. Such high viscosities have to be measured as dynamic viscosity rather than flow viscosity, and are measured at a low frequency such as 0.01 Hz because this has been found for less viscous silicones to correspond well to flow viscosity.
The terminal reactive groups (A) in the polydiorganosiloxane are preferably Si�H groups which can react with an aliphatically unsaturated group in the presence of a platinum or rhodium containing catalyst. The polydiorganosiloxane is generally a substantially linear polymer and preferably has the structure:
If desired, the polydiorganosiloxane can have a small amount of branching (e.g., less than 2 mole % of the siloxane units) without affecting the invention, i.e., the polymers are �substantially linear�. The groups R are usually hydrocarbyl groups, for example alkyl or aryl groups; preferably at least 80% of the R groups are alkyl groups, more preferably methyl groups. If desired, R groups can be substituted with, for instance, oxygen containing groups such as epoxy or alcohol groups.
The organic material reacts with the polysiloxane by a chain extension reaction and can be either a polymer or a non-polymeric material that acts as a chain extension agent. The terminal reactive groups (B) of the organic material are preferably aliphatically unsaturated groups, for example vinyl or allyl groups. The organic material is preferably a polymer having a backbone of carbon�carbon bonds, for example an addition polymer. Polymers whose repeating units have electron donor characteristics are particularly preferred, for example polyisobutylene having terminal unsaturation such as diallyl-endblocked polyisobutylenes, which are available commercially with various chain lengths. Polyisobutylenes of molecular weight in the range 1000 to 50000, preferably 2000 to 20000, can for example be used. The polymer can alternatively contain linkages comprising a heteroatom such as O or N, for example ether, ester, amide, imide or urethane linkages. Examples of such polymers are polyoxyalkylene glycols etherified with an unsaturated group, such as polyethylene glycol divinyl ether, or an acrylate or methacrylate polymer such as a urethane acrylate.
A non-polymeric organic material for use in the process of the invention can for example be a non-conjugated diene, preferably an alpha, omega-diene having 6 to 30 carbon atoms such as 1,5-hexadiene or 1,7-octadiene. The diene can have more than 30 carbon atoms but is preferably liquid. Alternatively compounds containing two vinyl or allyl groups can be used, for example diallyl ether, diallyl amine, diallyl carbonate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl succinate, 1,3-diallyl urea, allyl methacrylate, propylene glycol divinyl ether or tetraethylene glycol divinyl ether.
The organic material (B) can alternatively comprise a material having three reactive groups (B), e.g. three aliphatically unsaturated groups. This will lead to a branched or 3-limbed polymer, but it is generally preferred to use a difunctional organic material to produce an emulsion of a linear copolymer.
The catalyst is preferably a metal-containing catalyst of a type known for chain extension reactions of siloxanes, for example a material containing a metal such as platinum, rhodium, tin, titanium, copper or lead. A hydrosilylation catalyst for the reaction of an organosilicon material having Si�H groups and an organic material having aliphatically unsaturated groups can be, for example, a platinum or rhodium containing material. These catalysts may take the form of platinum or rhodium deposited on a carrier such as silica gel or powdered charcoal, or a platinum or rhodium salt or compound such as platinic chloride or chloroplatinic acid or a platinum or rhodium complex. Catalysts comprising PtIV, for example platinic chloride or chloroplatinic acid, or a complex prepared from chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate and divinyltetramethyldisiloxane, are particularly preferred. Generally, the catalyst is used at between 0.0001 and 10 wt. % based on the weight of the polydiorganosiloxane.
The surfactant can in general be a non-ionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an anionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant, although not all procedures for carrying out the process of the invention can be used with all surfactants. The amount of surfactant used will vary depending on the surfactant, but generally is between 1 and 30 wt. % based on the polydiorganosiloxane.
Examples of non-ionic surfactants include polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers such as polyethylene glycol long chain (12-14C) alkyl ether, polyoxyalkylene sorbitan ethers, polyoxyalkylene alkoxylate esters, polyoxyalkylene alkylphenol ethers, ethylene glycol propylene glycol copolymers and alkylpolysaccharides, for example materials of the structure R1�O�(R2O)m�(G)n wherein R1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group, a linear or branched alkenyl group or an alkylphenyl group, R2 represents an alkylene group, G represents a reduced sugar, m denotes 0 or a positive integer and n represents a positive integer as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,035,832.
Examples of cationic surfactants include quaternary ammonium hydroxides such as octyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide, dodecyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide, octyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium hydroxide, decyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium hydroxide, didodecyl dimethyl ammonium hydroxide, dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium hydroxide, tallow trimethyl ammonium hydroxide and coco trimethyl ammonium hydroxide as well as corresponding salts of these materials, fatty amines and fatty acid amides and their derivatives, basic pyridinium compounds, quaternary ammonium bases of benzimidazolines and polypropanolpolyethanol amines.
Examples of suitable anionic surfactants include alkyl sulfates such as lauryl sulfate, polymers such as acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer alkylbenzenesulfonic acids and salts such as hexylbenzenesulfonic acid, octylbenzenesulfonic acid, decylbenzenesulfonic acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, cetylbenzenesulfonic acid and myristylbenzenesulfonic acid; the sulfate esters of monoalkyl polyoxyethylene ethers; alkylnapthylsulfonic acid; alkali metal sulforecinates, sulfonated glyceryl esters of fatty acids such as sulfonated monoglycerides of coconut oil acids, salts of sulfonated monovalent alcohol esters, amides of amino sulfonic acids, sulfonated products of fatty acid nitriles, sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbons, condensation products of naphthalene sulfonic acids with formaldehyde, sodium octahydroanthracene sulfonate, alkali metal alkyl sulfates, ester sulfates, and alkarylsulfonates.
Examples of suitable amphoteric surfactants include cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysulfate, cocobetaine, sodium cocoamidoacetate, cocodimethyl betaine, N-coco-3-aminobutyric acid and imidazolinium carboxyl compounds.
The above surfactants may be used individually or in combination.
In one preferred process according to the invention, the polydiorganosiloxane, the organic material, the catalyst and the surfactant are mixed and are emulsified in water.
The polydiorganosiloxane, the organic material, the catalyst and the surfactant can be mixed all at once or these materials can be mixed in any order. However when the polydiorganosiloxane, the organic material and the catalyst are combined, the polymerisation reaction begins. As such, it may be preferred to mix one of these components of the composition last. For example, it may be preferred to premix the metal containing catalyst, the organic material and the surfactant before mixing with the polysiloxane. Anionic surfactants may increase the kinetics of the chain extension reaction between a polydiorganosiloxane having at least one Si�H group and an aliphatically unsaturated organic material in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst. The unsaturated organic material can be premixed with the catalyst and then mixed in a mixture of the anionic surfactant and the polydiorganosiloxane (i.e., the Si�H material). Alternatively, a cure inhibitor could be added to control the reaction kinetics.
The polydiorganosiloxane, organic material, catalyst and surfactant can be premixed with other materials which do not inhibit polymerisation, for example a solvent, plasticiser or filler. Such a material is preferably lipophilic, that is it should have more affinity for the siloxane and the organic material than for water. The organic material and/or siloxane can be premixed with a hydrocarbon solvent, for example toluene, before contacting the surfactant to inhibit interaction with water. A non-reactive silicone resin, for example a MQ resin comprising triorganosilyl units and SiO4/2 units and/or a hydrophobic filler, for example a treated silica, can be premixed with the polydiorganosiloxane. A lipophilic active material such as a perfume, sunscreen or pharmaceutical additive can be premixed with the organic material and/or the siloxane and will be carried by the oil phase of the copolymer emulsion so that it is deposited with the copolymer, for example on hair from a shampoo.
The resulting mixture can be mixed with water by simple agitation to form a coarse water in oil mixture. This mixture is then emulsified. During emulsification, the coarse water in oil mixture is inverted into a fine silicone in water emulsion. After inversion, the chain extension reaction continues within the silicone droplet until all the materials have reacted or the reaction has been inhibited. The emulsification can be accomplished by conventional means such as a batch mixer, colloid mill or line mixer. The emulsification process is simple and fast, and this procedure can be used with any type of surfactant.
The quantity of water and/or surfactant used in the initial phase inversion process may have an impact on the particle size of the final emulsion. For instance, if an emulsion is formed with the same quantity of water in two instances but in the first a large quantity of water is mixed before the phase inversion step and in the second a small quantity of water is mixed before the phase inversion step followed by mixing the remaining additional water after the phase inversion step, the first emulsion will generally have a larger particle size than the second. No matter how the water is added, the total amount of water used is generally between about 1 and 99 wt. %, preferably between about 6 and about 99 wt. %, based on the weight of the emulsion.
Polymerisation in the above procedure takes place at the interior of the oil droplets by chain extension (i.e., not at the oil/water interface). The degree of polymerisation is not controlled by droplet size, but by the ratio of materials used in the chain extension reaction. This allows for the production of a broad range of monodisperse droplet sizes containing polysiloxanes with a high viscosity and, if required, emulsions with high silicone volume fractions.
In an alternative procedure according to the invention, the polydiorganosiloxane and the organic material are emulsified in water with a surfactant and the catalyst is added to the emulsion. A nonionic surfactant is preferred for this process since the presence of ionic surfactant in the aqueous phase inhibits the catalysis of the hydrosilylation reaction by metal-containing catalysts such as PtIV compounds.
In a third procedure according to the invention, the polydiorganosiloxane and the organic material are emulsified in water with an anionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant and the catalyst is dispersed in a nonionic surfactant before being added to the emulsion. The catalyst can simply be mixed with the nonionic surfactant and added to the emulsion or the catalyst and nonionic surfactant can be premixed with water before being added. Mixing with the nonionic surfactant avoids inhibition of the catalyst by the ionic surfactant. The amount of nonionic surfactant used is preferably 0.1-10 parts per volume per part of a commercial platinum catalyst preparation (about 2-200 parts by weight per part of platinum in the catalyst). This procedure is useful in preparing a silicone copolymer emulsion based on an anionic, amphoteric or cationic surfactant, for example for inclusion in a personal care product such as a shampoo based on the same type of surfactant.
If desired, other materials can be added to either phase of the emulsions, for example perfumes, colorants, thickeners, preservatives, plasticisers or active ingredients such as pharmaceuticals.
The emulsions of the present invention can generally have a silicone loading in the range of about 1 to about 94 wt. %. The molecular weight of the silicone can be in the range of that corresponding to a bulk viscosity of about 1 mm2/sec at 25� C. to in excess of 108 mm2/sec at 25� C., most preferably 106 to 108 mm2/sec. (1000-100000 Pa.s.). The mean particle size of the emulsion is preferably from 0.1 to 1000 micrometers, more preferably about 0.3 to 100 micrometers. The emulsions of the invention render the high molecular weight silicone in the droplets easily handleable.
The emulsions of the invention are useful in most known applications for silicone emulsions, for example in personal care applications such as on hair, skin, mucous membrane or teeth. In these applications, the silicone is lubricious and will improve the properties of skin creams, skin care lotions, moisturisers, facial treatments such as acne or wrinkle removers, personal and facial cleansers, bath oils, perfumes, fragrances, colognes, sachets, sunscreens, pre-shave and after shave lotions, shaving soaps and shaving lathers. It can likewise be use in hair shampoos, hair conditioners, hair sprays, mousses, permanents, depilatories, and cuticle coats, for example to provide styling and conditioning benefits. In cosmetics, it functions as a levelling and spreading agent for pigment in make-ups, colour cosmetics, foundations, blushes, lipsticks, eye liners, mascaras, oil removers, colour cosmetic removers and powders. It is likewise useful as a delivery system for oil and water soluble substances such as vitamins, organic sunscreens, ceramides, pharmaceuticals and the like. When compounded into sticks, gels, lotions aerosols and roll-ons, the emulsions of this invention impart a dry silky-smooth payout.
When used in personal care products, they are generally incorporated in amounts of about 0.01 to about 50 weight percent, preferably 0.1 to 25 wt. percent, of the personal care product. They are added to conventional ingredients for the personal care product chosen. Thus, they can be mixed with deposition polymers, surfactants, detergents, antibacterials, anti-dandruffs, foam boosters, proteins, moisturising agents, suspending agents, opacifiers, perfumes, colouring agents, plant extracts, polymers, and other conventional care ingredients.
Beyond personal care, the emulsions of the invention are useful for numerous other applications such as textile fibre treatment, leather lubrication, fabric softening, release agents, water based coatings, oil drag reduction, particularly in crude oil pipelines, lubrication, facilitation of cutting cellulose materials, and in many other areas where silicones are conventionally used. The silicone organic copolymers have particular advantages in oil drag reduction resulting from increased compatibility with hydrocarbon fluids.
The following Examples are provided so that one skilled in the art will more readily understand the invention. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percents are by weight and all viscosities are at 25� C.
25 parts of a Si�H terminated polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity of 60000 mm2/sec was mixed with 2.5 parts �Kaneka Epion 200A� (Trade Mark) allyl end blocked polyisobutylene of molecular weight 5000 and then stirred with 0.35 parts PtIV catalyst (a chloroplatinic acid complex containing 4% platinum). 1.7 parts �Laureth 23� and 1.25 parts �Laureth-3� (nonionic polyethylene glycol lauryl ether surfactants of different chain lengths) were stirred in and 1 part water was added with stirring to invert the mixture to an oil-in water emulsion. The emulsion was diluted with a further 15 parts water and heated at 80� C. for 3 hours to effect chain extension polymerisation of the Si�H polymer and the polyisobutylene.
The emulsion produced contained a linear silicone organic copolymer of dynamic viscosity 8500 Pa.s at 0.01 Hz.
25 parts Si�H terminated polysiloxane, 2.5 parts allyl-terminated polyisobutylene and 0.35 parts catalyst were mixed as described in Example 1. 0.89 parts �Renex 30� (Trade Mark) polyethylene glycol tridecyl ether nonionic surfactant was added with stirring followed by 2 parts water to form an oil-in-water emulsion. 1.33 parts sodium lauryl ether sulphate anionic surfactant was stirred in and the emulsion was diluted with 15 parts water. Polymerisation was carried out at 80� C. for 3 hours.
The emulsion produced contained a linear silicone organic copolymer of dynamic viscosity 32300 Pas at 0.01 Hz.
The procedure of Example 1 was followed using the Si�H terminated polydimethylsiloxanes and allyl-terminated polyisobutylenes listed in the Table below (Epion 400A is believed to have molecular weight about 10000), except that the amount of water added to dilute the emulsion was 22 parts in each Example.
2.6 g �Epion 200A� allyl-endblocked polyisobutylene was diluted with 1.3 g toluene and mixed with 0.05 g of the catalyst of Example 1 and then with 23.0 g Si�H terminated polydimethylsiloxane of viscosity 15000 cPs. Surfactants and water were stirred in as described in Example 1 to form an oil-in-water emulsion which was diluted and polymerised at 60� C. for 3 hours to form a copolymer of molecular weight 640000 as measured by gas permeation chromatography (GPC).

Miley Cyrus in New Movie: Drunk, High, Waxedby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Miley Cyrus has made it clear: her next movie, LOL, will showcase a mature, edgy side to the actress.
Based on a few leaked script pages, we can confirm: she isn't kidding!
In the movie, Miley portrays a rebellious teen named Lola. As first reported by Hollywood Life, this character loses her virginity in the film; smokes pot; makes out with a female friend; drinks a lot; and, oh, accidentally shows her mom her Brazilian wax.
Suddenly, Cyrus' on-stage antics look tame by comparison, huh?
Hannah Montana Who?!? Miley Cyrus turns 18 in November. Look out, world! Farewell, pants!
Miley isn't the only young actress ratcheting up the raciness in the film.
Twilight star Ashley Greene plays Lola's rival, a girl nicknamed "The Post It" because "she sticks to every guy."
There's no release date scheduled yet for LOL, but it should hit theaters in 2011. Will you go see it?
Well done to think of seomthing like that
Ooooh shit @undead_hero, you told hiiiim :)
You rock you are pretty where do you get your chlothing
My god let the girl grow up. She can't stay that cute little tike forever.
miley is NOT drunk, waxed and watever, its her character thats doing all those things. and @hilton hater, wen someone asked u whether it was ok for daniel radcliffe to pose naked in a play at 17, u said it was ok since he is only playing a character, and not doing those things in his own life. that applies to miley as well.
@briana: Actors and actresses should not be criticized for the behavior of their characters. The only reason why you're so against this is because it's Miley Cyrus. As usual, people can't be fair when it comes to this girl. This movie is obviously not for little kids. Get over it. Not everything Miley Cyrus does in life has to be 'appropriate' for 5-12 year old kids.
It's a roll in a movie... I wish everyone would stop making such a big damn fuss over everything she does. it's her character not her.
Miley Cyrus. We aaaalll knew this would happen sooner or later. It doesnt matter if she doesnt act like this in real life, it matters what role she is playing and her actions in this movie. If she wants to be known as a lesbian, pot head, and rebellious kid in this movie then let. It only matters to her what she wants her slutty life to turn out as. And BTW PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING, She already turned 18.
@Jay: That's not true for more than one reason: 1. This movie is obviously going to be rated PG 13 or R, which means that most of Miley's young fans won't be seeing it. 2. It's not Miley literally smoking pot, it's a FICTITIOUS CHARACTER doing it. (Plus, it won't even be real pot.) Twilight didn't make a whole bunch of kids start drinking peoples' blood, did it? It's just acting. 3. The movie isn't trying to glamorize the character's behavior; it's to show the dangers behind it. Not everything Miley cyrus does in her life or career has to be considered 'appropriate' for little kids.
Miley is a role model. She is now showing kids that it is ok to do drugs. Kids want to be just like her. so now kids are going to start smoking pot just because miley is.

EU to send military force to Central African Republic
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union will send up to 1,000 soldiers to help stabilize Central African Republic, deploying its first major army operation in six years, EU foreign ministers decided on Monday.
The EU has been spurred into action by communal bloodshed in Central African Republic that led a senior U.N. official to warn last week of a risk of genocide there without a more decisive international response.
EU ministers to back sending force to Central African Republic
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union foreign ministers are expected to agree on Monday to send up to 1,000 soldiers to help stabilize Central African Republic, the EU's first major army operation in six years, EU officials said on Friday.
The intervention by the 28-nation bloc comes after a senior U.N. official warned on Thursday of the risk of genocide in Central African Republic without a more robust international response to communal bloodshed.
EU drops dinner with Putin to show "not business as usual"
BRUSSELS, Jan 16 (Reuters) – The European Union has
cancelled a traditional dinner with President Vladimir Putin at
an EU-Russia summit in Brussels later this month to show there
is no "business as usual" after a tug-of-war with Moscow over
Putin will visit Brussels on Jan. 28 for his twice-yearly
summit with the EU's top officials, despite relations being
under strain. The summit is usually over two days but will be
over in one this time, without the dinner on the night before.
EU probes licensing pacts between US film studios, pay-TV firms
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union opened an investigation into licensing agreements between major U.S. film studios and European pay-TV broadcasters on Monday, saying they may break EU anti-trust rules.
The probe by the European Commission, the EU's anti-trust watchdog, will focus on agreements requiring films licensed by U.S. studios to be shown exclusively in the EU member state where each broadcaster operates via satellite and the Internet.
EU proposes sending military force to Central African Republic
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union officials proposed on Wednesday that the EU move quickly send troops to Central African Republic, either to the capital Bangui or the west of the country, diplomatic sources said.
The proposals for an EU force of at least battalion-strength, roughly 700 to 1,000 soldiers, will please France, which has urged allies to do more to bolster the 1,600 troops it sent to its former colony last month to stop massacres between Muslim and Christian militias triggered by a March coup.
EU tries to calm fears of Bulgarian, Romanian exodus
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union sought to calm fears in countries like Britain, France and Germany that they face a mass influx of Romanians and Bulgarians following the lifting of restrictions on Wednesday, a change that risks fuelling anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe.
From January 1, seven years after their countries joined the EU, Bulgarians and Romanians are free to live and work anywhere in the 28-nation bloc without applying for work permits.
NATO starts own talks with Afghanistan on post-2014 mission pact
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – NATO and Afghan officials started work on Saturday on drawing up a framework for the alliance to stay on after 2014 despite the fact that a separate pact with the United States, which contributes the bulk of the forces, has still not been signed.
President Hamid Karzai last month defied a consensus in Afghanistan's grand assembly in favor of the security agreement with the United States, and said he would not sign unless certain conditions were met, and even then, not until after April elections.
Amid austerity, EU agrees to boost defence cooperation
BRUSSELS, Dec 19 (Reuters) – European Union leaders agreed
on Thursday to work together more closely on defence and make
falling defence budgets stretch further, but British Prime
Minister David Cameron said London would resist any attempt to
form a European army.
Austerity-hit EU countries have slashed spending in response
to the financial crisis, scaling back on ships, tanks and
fighter jets and undermining Europe's military strength, much to
the concern of the United States, its critical ally.
Ukraine stood to gain 19 billion euros from EU pact
BRUSSELS, Dec 18 (Reuters) – Ukraine could have been in line
to receive at least 19 billion euros ($26 billion) in European
Union loans and grants over the next seven years if it had
signed a trade and cooperation agreement with the bloc,
according to internal EU estimates.
Ukraine last month abandoned plans to sign the trade
agreement with Brussels at the last moment in favour of closer
ties with former Soviet overlord Russia, sparking huge
demonstrations in protest.
U.N. heads, EU call for humanitarian ceasefire in Syria
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The heads of the U.N. and European Union aid agencies called on Wednesday for a "humanitarian ceasefire" in Syria to allow convoys to deliver help to areas that aid workers cannot reach.
The officials urged all sides in the Syrian war to allow free access for humanitarian groups, saying aid should not be held hostage to political or military considerations.

Castaway's favourite
Small Faces
Tin Soldier
Presented byKirsty Young
Singer, Songwriter
Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the musician Paul Weller. As the lead singer of The Jam, the founder of The Style Council and a hugely successful solo artist, he is one of the most revered music writers and performers of the past 30 years and is cited as an influence by countless other singers.
In a rare interview, he describes the chronic shyness he had to overcome; how he is still gripped by fear before each performance and how, after he had been dumped by his record label, he was unable to write songs and found that even picking up a guitar felt alien to him. His father has been a constant support to him - as his mentor as well as his manager - and has always believed that his son had something special.

An apparatus for supporting and displaying plants in a window, that is readily adaptable to windows of various sizes and provides not only relocatable supporting platforms for potted plants but also relocatable pegs from which hanging plants may be displayed.
1. An apparatus for supporting and displaying plants comprising:
an upstanding elongated post member with means for anchoring the same at the top and the bottom and having a plurality of holes formed therein,
at least one plant supporting platform having a connecting dowel means on one end to be received in a selected hole, and
anchoring means radially offset from the selected hole and connecting said platform and said post for securely holding said dowel in the selected post hole to prevent rotation thereof.
2. The structure set forth claim 1 and said anchoring means constituting a locking screw inserted diagonally through said dowel and into a portion of the post surrounding the selected hole.
3. The structure set forth in claim 1 and said supporting platform including a tray with a supporting arm fixed thereto,
said dowel means being fixed to said arm above the lower portion thereof and extending downwardly from the arm into a selected hole in said post member, and
said anchoring means comprising an anchoring screw extending through the lower portion of said arm disposed below the dowel and into said post.
It is desirable to expose certain types of potted plants to sunlight whenever possible. In the past it has been necessary to sacrifice room space for a floor mounted plant stand or place the potted plants directly on the window sill or an apparatus attached to the window. With these approaches, the plants were prone to being upset whenever the window was operated.
These plant display techniques are covered by U.S. Patents as follows:
Perkins U.S. Pat. No. 312,159 Lindstrom U.S. Pat. No. 3,007,582
Wittbold U.S. Pat. No. 816,053 Richardson U.S. Pat. No. 3,108,401
Koch U.S. Pat. No. 2,187,159 Kramer U.S. Pat. No. 1,181,828
McCarroll U.S. Pat. No. 2,029,246 Crow U.S. Pat. No. 3,479,990
The novel features which are characteristic of the apparatus of the present invention overcome these shortcomings as well as offering numerous additional advantages by providing an upstanding supporting post member adapted to be secured in a substantially vertical manner in a window. The post provides a plurality of mounting elevations in which either a plant supporting platform or a peg for hangling plants may be positioned and secured. It is vitally important to secure the plant supporting platforms to the post at the desired elevation and in a manner that will positively prevent rotation of the platform when a plant is placed thereon.
The following is a description of the specific embodiment of this invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the views, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the plant stand installed in a window;
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the plant stand illustrating the post length adjusting detail and the detail of the platform anchoring means;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a plant supporting platform; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken substantially along viewing line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
In the form of the invention illustrated an elongated post 10 is provided having a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart generally transversely oriented dowel-receiving mounting holes 10a formed therein. A plant supporting and displaying platform assembly 12 is provided and includes a tray 14 with a supporting arm 16 fixed thereto, which in turn has a connecting dowel 18 fixed in outstanding relation thereto. The post 10 may be mounted between a pair of vertically spaced apart support members such as the upper and lower frame member of a window. A lower foot element 24 is axially received in the bottom of the post 10 and has a plurality of spaced apart adjustment holes 24a formed therein to receive a screw pin 26 which permits adjustment of the outwardly extending portion of said foot below the post. The upper end of the post 10 has a telescopically receiving foot member 28 resilently urged upwardly to engage against the head of a window casing as shown.
When the post 10 has been mounted in upstanding relation in the desired position within a window, a number of platform assemblies 12 may be mounted thereon at the desired elevations by selectively inserting the connecting dowel 18 into one of the holes 10a in the post. The arm 16 is generally triangular member as viewed in elevation and the dowel 18 extends outwardly forming intermediate portion of the enlarged base of the triangular arm 16 which abuts the surfaces of the post surrounding the selected hole 10a into which the dowel is inserted. The dowel and platform assembly are positively anchored to the post by inserting a screw 20 upwardly diagonally through a base portion of the arm 16, upwardly through the dowel and into the portion of the post surrounding the dowel and disposed thereabove. The anchoring screw 20 not only prevents dowel from coming out of the post but also prevents rotation of the dowel and platform with respect to the post while still permitting easy removal thereof.
Elongated pegs 22 are provided for supporting hanging plants as illustrated and the suspension elements of the hanging plants are retained on the end of said peg as by a groove 22a.
It will, of course, be understood that various changes may be made in the form, details, arrangement and proportions of the parts without departing from the scope of this invention, which generally stated is set forth in the appended claims.

Nuclear Power Plants are Certified Too
Yet another hideous euphemism ... "The Cloud". Handing over sensitive data to someone else's safekeeping, who are they kidding?
Re: Nuclear Power Plants are Certified Too
It's sexier than calling it what it really is - SED. Somebody Else's Datacenter.
Data protection - lol
I recently looked at cloud storage for personal (backup) use.
All of them claimed military grade encryption the same "as banks use to protect their money". In the small print all of them admit that they hold the keys for this military grade encryption and can look at your data and can give it to others, but, we won't, honest.
The closest any of them came to offering protected data was advice from Dropbox saying that some users have been able to store truecrypt volume files in their drop boxes.
If you don't have to provide an encryption key your data is not protected, are so many people dumb enough not to understand that?
If a country, such as India, have laws that force companies hosting and processing encrypted data to provide their security services with keys to access data does this conform with "EU data protection law requires that organisations sending personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), as may be the result of using cloud storage services, ensure that there are adequate data protection safeguards in place before that processing takes place."?

This was a lovely rug, for someone with a color scheme that includes cream though, as the flower pattern was quite a buttery cream colour. Overstock were wonderful in managing the return though.
Beautiful rug but beware of the shedding. As any wool rug you can expect shedding for awhile. I've vacuumed it every week for a few months and it still sheds. It does, however, she'd less each time! A few more sweepings and it may be done! Otherwise I love this rug.
Great value for the money. Easy and secure ordering process. Arrived before the promised arrival date. Rug looks great in the room, and quality was above my expectation. Only issue was in shipping, the rug got a few wrinkles in the shipping process and did not lay flat for a few weeks, but the shipping was free. Overall, a very good experience. I would definitely use OS for my future rug purchases

Ramped up: Possible closure of Third Street exit invokes terms like 'aesthetics' and 'functionality'
It's quickly becoming the chorus to America's drive-time soundtrack: Gas prices went up again today. The most recent jumps occurred because, as of last week, a barrel of oil topped $75. Some analysts predict that by summer's end we'll pay around $4 for a gallon of gas, not just on the coasts but in the Midwest, too. Clearly this is a problem that's not going away.

My research in concerns two areas. First, I work on various aspects of inter-group relations, including the politicization of immigrants, attitudes towards foreigners, or ethnic groups. I do so in the context of several projects, including the comparative Taking Sides (SNSF-funded) and European (FP7) project Support and Opposition to Migration that examine how, when, and why potential conflicts over migration become politicized. Moreover, in another SNSF-funded project we combine theory from economics and sociology to explain individual attitudes towards foreigners in Switzerland.
Second, I work on political representation, including the political representation of women and ethnic groups in national legislatures. My 2009 article on the political representation of ethnic groups in a cross-national perspective won the SNIS International Geneva Award 2010.
