The IRS made available the FATCA registration website for financial institutions (FIs) in August 2013. This was intended to allow FIs to begin the process of creating accounts and entering registration information. All information entered since August 19, 2013, has been automatically saved in the registration system and associated with a financial institution's FATCA account.
Announcement 2014-1 [PDF 21 KB] states that all registrations prior to January 2014—including registrations submitted as final before December 31, 2013—will be treated as initiated but unsubmitted.
Thus, on or after January 1, 2014, every registering financial institution must:
Any FI submitting its registration information on or after January 1, 2014, may subsequently choose to revoke its status by revisiting its account and deleting its registration (if its GIIN has not yet been issued) or cancelling its registration (if its GIIN has already been issued).
Today's announcement states that all other dates relevant to registration and publication of the IRS FFI List as described in Notice 2013-43 remain unchanged.
The IRS reported that it will electronically post the first IRS FFI List by June 2, 2014, and any FI seeking to be included on the June 2014 IRS FFI List must finalize its registration by April 25, 2014.
Verification of a GIIN is not required for payments made prior to January 1, 2015, with respect to any payee that is a reporting Model 1 FI. Thus, while reporting Model 1 FIs will be able to register and obtain GIINs on or after January 1, 2014, they will not need to register or obtain GIINs until on or about December 22, 2014, to allow for inclusion on the IRS FFI list by January 1, 2015.

Why, all of a sudden, do pop-ups keep appearing? I have pop-ups turned off and have done a complete system scan. Nothing works. It is only Sky that is the problem, used another provider and no pop-ups.
on 12-12-2013 04:53 PM
Pop ups are handled by browser and can be stopped by adding a pop up blocker to your browser or by anti virus software.
This issue is not caused by your Internet Provider.

Hi chimpette,
Thanks for your post and sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately as daveNOS has advised, pop-up's are not coming from your broadband provider but are sent from the browser and whether or not there is a virus on your computer causing this.
Have you tried another browser, a pop up blocker and a full virus scan?

The Principles Of A Flooded Basement Cleanup
Experiencing a flooded basement is not anyone's idea of a good day. Whether your basement is used for storage, is vacant, or is built up into a recreational area, you have a real project on your hands.
A flooded basement area can occur from a leak in the basement wall, a broken water or sewer pipe, backup of sewage from a main line, or a genuine flood of a general nature. Regardless of the cause, if you have any level of standing water in your basement, you must be sure not to touch the water in any way or step into it. There may be electrical connections that are still live under the water which could prove fatal if you contact it.
Rather than cleaning and restoring the area yourself, you would be wise to step back and ask a professional water restoration company to come in and take care of this for you. They will have the expertise and the necessary equipment to process the situation in the safest and most effective manner.
You may be asked by the water restoration company to relocate yourself and your family for a few days, as even breathing vapors from the water can be dangerous. Flood water can contain raw sewage, E-Coli, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, fertilizer, pesticides, and petroleum products. Coming into contact with water with these items can even make people sick.
The water restoration company will first remove the standing water, and the more quickly this is done, the better, as this helps to eliminate further growth of mold and bacteria. High speed pumps are just the ticket for this project.
Once the water is removed then the drying process begins. Large box fans are used here, and this can take a few days for the area to be completely dried. This is also important for stamping out mold and bacteria, as they both feed on moisture.
The the area must be cleaned and sanitized, and special equipment is used for this. Items such as furniture, cushions, rugs, carpeting, padding, drapes, drywall, and anything else that will hold water must be thrown out, as some things are impossible to get completely dry.
If you were to attempt this yourself, you could be partially successful, but the area where you might run into trouble is getting the area completely sanitary, as you could lack the expertise and equipment to to a thorough enough job.

Study: Early Epinephrine Reduces Hospitalization for Children
Children suffering food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) were less than half as likely to need hospitalization if they received epinephrine prior to visiting the hospital emergency department. This was the finding of a study published in September in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
The study, conducted at Hasbro Children's Hospital/Rhode Island Hospital, reviewed the charts of 384 emergency department visits for FIA during a six year period beginning January 1, 2004. Of these, 234 (61%) received treatment with epinephrine prior to the visit (the "early" receivers of epinephrine.)
Lessons to be learned from the William Luckett Inquest
Once again, world attention is focused on the story of a 15 year old boy from the UK who died of peanut cross-contact. Rather than focus solely on the incident itself, we'll highlight common sense strategies to help avoid tragedies like this in the first place.
William Luckett had had his first food allergy reaction at four years old and was diagnosed with a nut allergy at age six. At that time he was given a prescription for epinephrine auto-injectors which he never needed to use. Over time, with the absence of reactions, the family stopped filling the prescriptions.
In December 2012, William was visiting his father on the Isle of Wight and was having ribs for dinner, takeout from a local Chinese restaurant. He began experiencing classic symptoms of anaphylaxis: difficulty breathing and swelling of the lips. Despite his father's efforts, William lost consciousness and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a local hospital.
SnackSafely.com Welcomes Utz Quality Foods to its Manufacturer Partnership
Products to be Showcased in the Safe Snack Guide and
Upcoming App
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 11, 2014
The publisher of the Safe Snack Guide, a resource relied upon by thousands of schools, camps, youth sports leagues and scouting groups nationwide to implement nut-free policies, is pleased to announce the newest member to join its Manufacturer Partnership.
As many of our readers are well aware, peanuts are the leading cause of severe food-related allergic reactions in the US. Though Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) and related treatments that expose the subject to flour containing small, but increasing amounts of peanut protein are showing promise, there is a danger of anaphylactic reaction throughout the therapy.
Researchers at North Carolina State University's Plants for Human Health Institute are experimenting with new therapy media that combine the traditional peanut flour used in OIT with plant polyphenols found in many fruits and vegetables. When the peanut protein in the flour is bound to polyphenols derived from plants like blackcurrant, cinnamon, cranberry and green tea, they appear to become much less allergenic in lab tests. Tests in mice with a cranberry derivative/peanut flour combination appeared to trigger the desired desensitization without the dangerous reactions that can occur.
California Stock Epinephrine Bill Faces Opposition from Teacher's Union
California's stock epinephrine bill, SB 1266 introduced February 21, 2014 by Senator Bob Huff, would make the stocking of epinephrine mandatory for school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools as well as the training of personnel to administer the drug in cases of suspected anaphylaxis.
Lessons to be Learned from the Connor Donaldson Inquest
Once again, a child's death caused by anaphylaxis is receiving attention in the media, this time in the UK. The loss is yet another in a long line of horrific, preventable tragedies, but there are lessons to be learned from the details of the child's exposure and the subsequent attempts at first aid.
Connor Donaldson, a 12 year-old boy from Greater Manchester with severe asthma and a severe peanut allergy, died October 19, 2013 after ingesting a few bites of curry the family had taken out from a nearby restaurant.
His mother had discussed the allergy with a staff member of the restaurant over the phone prior to ordering. She was assured that their dishes would contain no peanuts.
The Holiday Hill Incident: Takeaways for Your Child's School
The food allergy community was abuzz last week with the news that Mary Baxley, a paraprofessional at Holiday Hill Elementary School in Jacksonville, Florida, received a 10-day suspension for bringing peanut butter cookies to celebrate a student's birthday in a peanut-free classroom. But what should parents of children with food allergies learn from the incident?
California Grass Roots Advocacy Launches
An advocacy dedicated to improving the safety and quality of life of Californians living with severe food allergies has launched.
California Advocates for Food Allergies (CAFA) was founded by a team of advocates and activists well known to the on-line community concerned with anaphylaxis. The executive board members are:
Woman Recovering from Coma Caused by Anaphylaxis Needs Your Help
Chantel Giacalone, a 27 year old actress and model with a severe peanut allergy from West Bloomfield, MI, was visiting a friend in Las Vegas a year ago. On February 20, 2013, she unknowingly bit into a pretzel that contained peanut butter and suffered full-blown anaphylaxis.
"She went into cardiac arrest twice – four and a half minutes both times," said Maria Lamia, Chantel's aunt.
Chantel was placed on life support in a hospital in Las Vegas. Thousands of dollars were raised to have her airlifted to a hospital in Michigan, where she was finally released in November.

A former student has been charged with two counts of fraud for allegedly buying the passes from students and selling them for a profit on Craigslist. Charges could also be pressed against the students who sold their passes, police say.
March 9, 2009
A recent search of Craigslist in the San Francisco Bay Area found half-a-dozen Class Passes for sale between $40 and $70. Sellers often are Cal students who don't ride AC Transit buses.

I didn't expect MGMT to sound the same as their previous two albums, but I expected better than this.
I'm going to give it a bit more time and if I change my mind, I'll come back. But I don't expect that to happen.… Full Review »
Sep 17, 2013Here's the thing I think we are going to have to expect: MGMT will never sound like they did on their first album. Whilst this new record is not as much of an overworked, contrived mess as 'Congratulations', it really fails to stand out ahead of the popular neo-psyche movement that is happening all over the place now. There are a few catchy moments (who would have thought the two chord wonder "Your Life Is A Lie" would stand out as a catchy track. They make soundscapes indistinguishable from Of Montreal. But still light years better than what Daft Punk attempted on RAM. Not awful. Not exceptional. It may be one of those albums that grows on you. It may just grow incredibly slowly.… Full Review »
Sep 17, 2013Grower of an album. I am sooooo happy they went with their art and not the desire of the masses that seem to want the same songs over and over. Don't these pollyanna fans ever get bored with the same sound? I commend MGMT for moving into a deeper and darker sound. They are one of the most adventurous rock/pop groups around and I love them for it!! Very few bands today have their vision. This album is for the music lovers that like challenging sounds and want to be taken on a journey. In the age of Itunes they are still trying to make a cohesive artistic statement. Bravo!!!!… Full Review »

November 28, 2014
DETROIT (AP) - Police say two children killed in a massive chain-reaction crash on a Detroit freeway are believed to be siblings whose parents were injured in the accident.
The Thursday morning accident also killed another motorist as blinding snow squalls, strong winds and slick roads led to a mile-long series of crashes involving about 30 vehicles along Interstate 75.
Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw tells The Associated Press the children who died were a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl from Windsor, Ontario.
None of the victims' names have been released.
Shaw says 13 people, including a 9-year-old girl, were taken to local hospitals.
A similar pileup involving more than 40 vehicles west of Indianapolis has closed Interstate 70 in both directions. There was no immediate word on injuries.

William Katz: Urgent Agenda
A CONCESSION TO THE COMMON FOLK – The Ministry of Good Eats, known to we mere citizens as the Department of Agriculture, has knuckled under to many, many protests and will allow an increase in the amount of meat and grains permitted to American students in school lunches. Oh, thank you, Massa. Thank you. And thank Lord Barack, come to save us. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that his department was responding to complaints that kids weren't getting enough to eat. Yeah, I'd complain about that. You know, maybe they should ask parents, and even the school nurses about this, before handing down guidelines that don't give kids sufficient food.
FIDO IN THEIR SIGHTS – It turns out that Obamacare will raise the cost of treating a pet as well as the cost of treating humans. Veterinary devices will now be subject to the Obamacare tax, and it's expected that manufacturers will pass those costs on to vets, who will pass them on to animal caregivers. So now, every time you look at your golden retriever, you can think of Obama. Isn't that warm?
NO STOP TO THE PIPELINE – Did Washington forget something? It turns out that the military pipeline to Egypt has continued open throughout the Egyptian uprisings, so that major American weapons are now flowing to a government controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Nice, huh? I wonder how much of this stuff may come back to us on some battlefield one day. In the pipeline, about to be delivered, are 200 Abrams tanks and a squadron of F-16s...just what the Muslim Brotherhood should have for a happy party. Well, the American people re-elected Obama, and this is the policy they're getting.

Northwest Pipe,
water transmission,
rolled and welded steel pipe products,
Thorsten Schier
NEW YORK Northwest Pipe Co. has acquired steel piping fabricator Permalok Corp., St. Louis, for an undisclosed amount.
"Permaloks interlocking pipe joining system complements and expands Northwest Pipes offerings by providing alternate joint solutions to the already comprehensive product line," the Vancouver, Wash.-based company said Jan. 2. "The acquisition also strengthens Northwest Pipes water transmission business with Permaloks rolled and welded steel pipe products currently being used in trenchless applications."
Permalok has manufacturing locations in St. Louis and Salt Lake City. The St. Louis plant can make up to 15,000 tons of pipe annually, according to Permaloks website.
Northwest Pipe, which makes water transmission pipe and energy tubulars, did not return a request for further comment.
Beyond the Permalok acquisition, the company said it also "sees opportunities to expand in other segments," such as structural and industrial pipe, as well as further growth in the water transmission business.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Alaro - CA'N CABRIT
Villa, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 6 people
Welcome! This is a well designed and modern house in Alaró with incredible views to the mountains and the countryside.
It is a 2-storey house of 140 m2 with 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms. All rooms are on the first floor and have views to the countryside or the mountains. There is one room with a double bed, while the others have 2 single beds each. There isn't air conditioning in the house but we can provide you with fans if you ask us. There are 2 bathrooms on the first floor (one en suite with the main room). Both of them have shower and are fully furnished. There is a toilet on the ground floor.
The well-lighted living room has a sofa with two armchairs, the perfect place to enjoy the reading of a good book, surf the Internet (WIFI) or watch satellite TV. The dining area has a table with chairs for 6 people, where you can organize dinners with your family and friends. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need during your holiday: coffee machine, microwave, kitchen appliances, dishwasher, induction cooking, electric oven and fridge with freezer. Of course you will find washing machine, iron, and ironing board.
There is no parking at the house but you will easily park on the street or in the public parking, just 150 meters away.
The garden is lovely and it has a lemon tree that you can take if they are in season. There are 100 m2 of wooden terrace surrounding the pool, which at the same time is surrounded by 100 m2 of lawn garden. The salt pool is 10 x 4 meters and 1.55 meters deep. It is shared with the neighbours next door, although they are not usually at the house. There are 4 sun beds where you can relax and enjoy the Mediterranean weather. Step out the living room and you will find a private terrace with outdoor furniture with barbeque where you can enjoy long summer evenings.
A few meters away from the house, you will find Alaró; a little charming village near the mountains, where you will be able to find everything you might need during your holiday: ATM, surgery, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. There are lots of rural paths that start in Alaró towards Serra de Tramuntana. From the house, you will be able to admire Alaro Castle; it's worth to visit it and enjoy the views at the top. You will love the local market, which is every Friday, and you will be able to find fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers.
Orient is a little village surrounded by mountains, just a few kilometres from Alaró. We recommend a trip there! The beach is just 30 minute drive!
This is the perfect house to have an unforgettable vacation!

Reports of widespread wiretapping make waves in Ankara
Monday, February 24, 2014
ANKARA - Thousands of people, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, national intelligence chief Hakan Fidan and a wide range of journalists, academics, business leaders and NGO representatives, have been wiretapped for years by the police as part of different probes, Turkish media claimed Feb. 24. The reports prompted a top judicial body to open an internal investigation into the claims, but were dismissed by the prosecutor involved in the cases.
The classified files on the wiretappings were found in the Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office by the new prosecutors who were assigned following mass purges in the judiciary, pro-government dailies Star and Yeni Safak claimed in separate but similar reports.
Yeni Safak reported that up to 3,064 people have been wiretapped according to the first documents found by the newly appointed prosecutors, while Star alleged that the real number is likely close to 7,000.

GARLAND — Decatur's Caroline Lowery had been on volleyball service runs before.The junior found an ultimate groove Friday, sparking an 11-0 flurry that led Decatur to a sweep of Big Spring, 25-12, 25-22, 25-10, in a UIL Class 3A state semifinal at the Curtis Culwell Center.Decatur (40-7) meets Bellville (41-7) at 2 p.m. Saturday."I didn't try to do too much, I just wanted to get the ball in play," Lowery said. "My serve has a tendency to be pretty inconsistent."Lowery's jump serve lit up the Big Spring defense and inconsistent wasn't in the building.Most of her efforts were quick, arching shots that were diving to the floor before they reached the net. Lowery had three aces to close out that first set and six total for the game. Big Spring (32-14) tried to rally behind Erin Pollard's 11 kills and Morgan Seaton's two blocks. But holding the lead for much of the second set, was about as much as the Steers could muster. Makayla Mayfield served two aces and knocked down a kill to rally Decatur into the lead in the second set 18-16. Other than being down 3-2 early in the third, the Eagles held the lead and the momentum for good. Cooper Martin finished with 13 kills to lead Decatur and Mayfield added nine. Lowery also had seven kills, and the Eagles outhit Big Spring .355 to .162. "I thought it said a lot about how we played set No. 2," Decatur coach Claire Benedict said. "They really started to do some things that got us out of our rhythm and started hitting down the lines where we weren't defending."Junior setter Stormi Leonard had 30 assists for Decatur and said keeping an even keel will be paramount Saturday. "I think it's a mindset, really," Leonard said. "If we continue to go into this thinking it's just another game, I think that's good for us."

WASHINGTON - Nelson Mandela, the iconic South African leader who died Thursday at age 95, was remembered on WTOP Friday as a man from whom anyone in or out of politics could learn.
A succession of commentators on Friday morning told WTOP's Bruce Alan and Mike Moss that Mandela would be remembered for his perseverance in the face of nearly 30 years of imprisonment for fighting the racial segregation of apartheid, but for refusing to succumb to bitterness when he was released in 1990.
Candy Crowley, CNN's chief political correspondent and host of State of the Union, says of Mandela's life: "It's an amazing life of a leader, but it's also an amazing life of a human being."
She adds that his life was so long and accomplished that "you kind of forget over time, and when you go back and look, it's astonishing."
At its end, "The celebration of that life immediately came to the fore. There's sadness, but there's also just 'oh, wow.'"
Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and host of Face the Nation, said of Mandela, "his whole life was a lesson. It would be like you were taking a college course on ethics.
"He stood for perseverance, for bravery. He had a set of values. And then once his goal was achieved, he practiced forgiveness of his enemies, and reconciliation."
David Gregory, host of NBC's Meet the Press, agreed that Mandela changed South Africa "through his own incredible force of will," but added that the real example of Mandela's life was "don't allow yourself to be consumed with hate. And if you can be that model, you can triumph over people's fears and people's hatred."
Crowley says Mandela "saved the country," as he could have easily incited a civil war. But she says the mindset of forgiveness began when Mandela was still in prison.
"He could have rotted there for 25 years, but he used the time," she said.
It would be wrong to assume Mandela had no bitter feelings, but "he took them and moved them into something positive to change the situation."
President Barack Obama said on Thursday that "I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example Nelson Mandela set."
All three commentators said that Mandela set an example for politicians in all countries to follow.
Gregory said of Obama, "Here was someone who was too young to be directly part of the civil-rights era, and yet the apartheid era was something that he was able to participate in and have an emotional connection to. It's really something."
All three noted Mandela's decision to step away from South African politics after one term as president.
"He retired, yet remained a moral force in his country," Schieffer says.
Schieffer agreed with Moss that our own politicians, who have uniformly praised Mandela in the hours after his death, could take some lessons in the way they conduct their day-to-day affairs, cracking that he never heard of Mandela fearing a primary challenge.
Gregory also praised the South African leader's willingness to leave the presidency, citing Richard Stengel's book on Mandela comparing him to George Washington.
"He didn't linger," Gregory says of Washington, "and nor did Nelson Mandela. He felt it was important to be first, but not to overstay."
Gregory says that along "the arc of his life, from revolutionary to prisoner to father of the country," Mandela "became quite practical along the way. He understood that there had to be a sense of common purpose, that there had to be a sense of comfort with him."
Crowley says she will devote lots of time to Mandela on her show Sunday. Schieffer and Gregory each said they would devote their entire shows to Mandela and his legacy.
"You don't have this opportunity very often to concentrate on this," Schieffer said. "I think the nation is going to pause and take something from this.
"He was just a remarkable person, and we don't see people of his caliber come along very often."

Grace and Adam
And here's further evidence that commercials don't have to make sense to be fun. Grace Jones just looks neat on the small screen as she goads Adam Ant into riding a scooter. In the cable version, she bites his ear at the end; in the network version, she doesn't. There's a moral in that, if you can find it.

I've already read the FAQs and searched. I did find a couple threads similar to my issue, but there was no resolution (at least not recorded in the threads).
Computer Make/Model: Custom built
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Processor: Intel i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHZ Quad-Core
RAM: Crucial 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 Dual Channel
M-Audio Devices & Driver Versions: Fast Track Pro 5.10.00.5134
Other relevant Hardware & Software Used: MSI P55-GD65 Motherboard with onboard sound - Realtek drivers, Microsoft HD-5000 Webcam
Software & peripherals used: REAPER DAW, Fender Stratocaster, high-quality instrument cable
Details about the problem you are experiencing and how to reproduce it:
I just bought a M-Audio Fast Track Pro to use with REAPER. I'm completely new to home recording.
I installed the newest M-Audio drivers from the website and then plugged in the Fast Track Pro. I installed REAPER and started it. I set the options in REAPER according to the instructions here:
The green Signal LED on the FTP is lighting up when I play. I have headphones plugged into the Fast Track Pro, and I can hear my guitar when I play.
I have the Fast Track Pro on Instrument In (push-button is out - I tried both ways just to make sure, though). I have my instrument cable plugged into the 1 input on the front of the device (I've also tried input 2).
I selected "Mono Input Line 1 Fast Track Pro" on the track in REAPER (I also tried Line 2 Fast Track Pro).
However, I am not getting any signal in REAPER when trying to play/record my guitar in using my M-Audio Fast Track Pro.
I turned on monitoring, but I'm still not seeing any waves when recording and I don't see any activity on the volume meter on the track or at the bottom of the screen.
I did a test by setting the recording device to my web cam. When, I did, I saw activity in the volume meters and waves when recording, so I expect I should see that when using my Fast Track Pro as well.
I have since disconnected the web cam and speakers from my computer. I also went into the Devices section of the Control Panel in Windows and uninstalled any other sound drivers. I then restarted the computer. Only the Fast Track Pro is installed and set on ASIO settings.
In my "Playback Devices" and "Recording Devices" sections of the Sound settings, I have the "Line 1/2 - M-Audio Fast Track Pro" set as my default.
Can someone please assist me with this issue?
Please let me know if you need any screen shots or further info. Thank you!!!

Tu quoque
Tu quoque (/tuːˈkwoʊkwiː/;[1] Latin for "you, too" or "you, also") or the appeal to hypocrisy is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position. It attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. This attempts to dismiss opponent's position based on criticism of the opponent's inconsistency and not the position presented.[2] It is a special case of ad hominem fallacy, which is a category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of fact about the person presenting or supporting the claim or argument.[3] To clarify, although the person being attacked might indeed be acting inconsistently or hypocritically, such behavior does not invalidate the position presented.

With all the speculation circulating on the Internet this week about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt splitting up, the Hills couple decided to call Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Friday to set the record straight.
That is, if giving vague, nausea-inducing, self-promoting answers is your idea of setting the record straight.
"Oh rumors, rumors," said Spencer. "Breaking up? I could never do without the love of my life."
But what about reports that they're simply being coy because the plan is to publicly call it quits by way of a four-part magazine story payout of $200,000?
"Wow, can you get that deal for us?" asked a seemingly shocked Heidi. "That would be great."
"So you are breaking up," responded Ryan.
"No," insists Heidi, before dropping this little bombshell-infused show plug: "I mean, you'll have to tune in on Monday to see that we are having some difficulties."
Those so-called "difficulties" apparently stem from Spencer hitting on a bartender and, according to Heidi, "God only knows what else he's been doing."
"So did you hook up with the bartender?" asked Ryan.
"You'll have to tune in on Monday night," replied Spencer, to which Ryan snapped, "That answer bores me."
Funny. Our boredom set in a lot earlier.
