Christian York spoke with Chad Dukes Wrestling Show on 106.7 The Fan / CBS Radio. Here are some highlights.
Being thrown into the ring with Jeff Hardy and Bobby Roode so early into his TNA tenure:
"I was pretty surprised when they started throwing me into the mix with the two main guys of the whole company. I mean, it's an honor that they've got enough faith to put me in there. I'm just ready to keep this ball rolling, keep going to find out where I can go."
TNA Gut Check being a shoot:
"They really don't talk to you during the day. All they did was one of the TV guys comes up to me, and he brought me to the ring, and says, 'OK, this is where Al's gonna stand, Taz's gonna be, Bruce is gonna be, Jeremy's gonna be here. Don't cross the ring, you just stand right here is where you wanna stand, and that's it. And the thing with Joey Ryan was, he got the 'No's.' That was a shoot, that was legit, and he got pissed off and he grabbed the mic and the things that he said was not anything that was planned. He did that, he went into business for himself and look what he's got now."
Working in the original ECW:
"I loved ECW. I loved being there, I didn't understand the psychology, like you can beat the hell out of somebody with a chair, but if you're choking him on the ropes, the referee's counting to five. But it was a heck of a learning experience."
CM Punk's success:
"I love it because we're guys that are the same size. He's proof that you don't have to be some big jacked up 6-foot-five monster in order to be the face of the company. I've had a lot of friends that have gone up and made it. I know a lot of guys who get so pissed off and disgruntled when they see somebody make it. You should be happy for your friends. My best friend, he went on and made it (Joey Mercury) and everybody's like, 'Oh man you gotta be so pissed off.' I'm like, 'no, what kind of human being are you?'"
Bully Ray:
"I think Bubba's probably the greatest worker right now to tell the truth, all around guy. I think Bubba's unbelievable, he's so well rounded all the way, everything."
Maria Kanellis Lets Her Ass Hang Out... WOW!!!!!!!!!

Hip sisters Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley of HEMSLEY + HEMSLEY cook for celebrities and clients all over the world. Their mission is to create super-healthy food; whole, organic, nutrient filled, delicious homemade dishes that are free from grain, gluten, high starch and refined sugar.
And they can certainly rise to a culinary challenge too, as proved when we asked them this question: 'If you've got friends coming round for a party in a few hours and you've run out of time, what would you cook?' See below for their ten quick-to-make party food ideas, starting with the two recipes that feature in our new issue, out now.
1. Chicory boats filled with pear, stilton and cranberry jam
Ingredients: 2 heads of chicory leaves, separated and trimmed at the base * 1 ripe pear - conference are a nice British variety, or even better Concorde pears * 50g Stilton* Cranberry jam* 80g sugar-free, apple-sweetened dried cranberries (try Biona) * 1 star anise* 30ml red wine* Zest and juice of half an orange - add the pulp if you have a strong blender * Pinch black pepper * Pinch sea salt* ½ teaspoon maple syrup * Tiny pinch ground nutmeg * 150ml water. Makes 12
How To Make: Start with the cranberry jam, simmering the ingredients together in a pan with the lid on for 10 minutes until it thickens to a jam like consistency. Blitz it all with a handheld blender and set aside. Lay out the chicory leaves on a platter. Peel the pear, cut in half and slice thinly lengthways. Lay a slice of pear in the bottom of each chicory 'boat' and crumble the Stilton over. Finish with a few dots of cranberry jam to serve - any leftover jam can be stored in the fridge and served with a cheese board.
2. Cucumber canapés with horseradish cream cheese and smoked salmon
Ingredients: 1 small cucumber; narrow ones work better * 50g smoked salmon * 75g full fat cream cheese * ½ tsp grated fresh horseradish * ½ teaspoon chopped dill* ¼ teaspoon lemon juice * Pinch freshly cracked black pepper * Extra dill for garnishing. Makes 12
How To Make: In a bowl mix together cream cheese, horseradish, dill, lemon juice and black pepper. Leave in the fridge for an hour or so. Add more horseradish if you like it punchy. Cut the cucumber into 1cm slices, carefully scoop out some of the seeds making sure not to go through to the bottom. Arrange the cucumber slices on a platter and distribute the cream cheese mixture between them, neatly filling the centres. Cut the smoked salmon into strips - 2cm wide by 5cm long. Roll up and place on top of the cream cheese. Garnish with sprigs of dill.
Chicory boats and cucumber canapés
3. Top fresh, crunchy red and green apple slices with some mature cheddar and chutney.
4. Fill baby gem lettuce leaves with fresh crab, lemon juice and black pepper. Choose a mix of dark and white meat for the best flavour.
5. Chop up colourful crudités (red chicory leaves, radishes, carrots, cucumber, red peppers) and serve with a spicy avocado dip.
6. Make The Hemsley's dark chocolate salted clementines - the ingredients are all in the title- incredibly easy and completely delightful sweet morsels. Click here for the recipe.
- Make parmesan crisps. These pretty little crisps are made from organic parmesan and... Nothing else! The aroma of these baking will make everyone's mouths water in anticipation. For recipe click here.
- Bake kale chips. Pull the kale leaves from their stems and roughly chop, wash and dry thoroughly. Toss the leaves a little melted coconut oil and bake at 200C for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and season with sea salt and any herbs and spices as the kale chips cool.
- Spice up some nuts. Toast a selection of nuts (ideally soaked for a few hours/overnight and rinsed) in the oven with coconut oil or ghee and your favourite spices. Try cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne with a sprinkle of sea salt and a dash of maple syrup or wasabi powder and a little lime juice for a kick!
- Arrange skewers of ready cooked prawns on a serving dish. Mix together an easy 'satay style' dipping sauce of almond butter, zest and juice of an orange, a little freshly grated ginger and a dash of tamari. Warm it through and pour over the prawns to serve.
Look out for Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley's book, The Art of Eating Well, which will be published next year by Ebury Press.

|Som Tom at Wang Thai in Itaewon
|Lunch with Friends at Wang Thai
I can admit when I am wrong. The first few times I was at Wang Thai, I wasn't that impressed. Maybe it was because I spent one too many days in Thailand and that is never a fair point of comparison. I think the first time I was there, I was upset that they didn't have jasmine rice (the light, fragrant rice is a the perfect vessel for Thai sauces). I haven't been too nice to many of the Thai restaurants in the past and that is something that I am looking to change- especially since I have been finding places that serve great food.
A benchmarking dish for me at a Thai restaurant is Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad). This dish should be citrusy with a shot of spice and rounded with a savory pungency from fish sauce. It's a dish I always enjoyed and one I have found memories of while eating in Chang Mai, Thailand. The Som Tam at Wang Thai is all of that plus they give you a side of cabbage and bok choy so you can wrap the crisp papaya in more greens. Delish.
The Red Curry at Wang Thai is also very good. It has nice chunks of duck in a thick, red, coconut curry. The chunks of fresh pineapple in the broth make it very fresh tasting. The curry is excellent with the rice and I think we went through two bowls to get all of the sauce.
The pad thai was great as well. It had all the all the elements that make a pad thai, pad thai…well…minus a fresh squeeze of lime (but have you seen how expensive they are in Korea, like 2,000 won for 1!). They do you lime juice in the balanced sauce and the noodles are stir fried just right.
On a previous visit, I had the pineapple fried rice. The presentation was nice- it is in a cut out pineapple, but here I wished they had used long grain rice. Korean short grain rice, just doesn't stir fry up crisp enough.
Regardless, this is a worthy restaurant and the interior is top notch. The space is very open with many Thai statues and art pieces that fill the room. This is a great place to host guests or to have a date. Prices are reasonable as well. Curries start at 12,000 and noodles at 10,000. They have a full wine and alcohol selection and set menus.
Wang Thai
2-stars (Recommended. Good interior, flavorful food- almost fully authentic)

planet, but concepts and tools of the geographical sciences are essential components of the multidisciplinary task of unraveling the complexities of the changes Earth is confronting.
Geographical inquiry encompasses approaches ranging from the scientific to the humanistic, and this report's concern with the former end of the spectrum should not be seen as an effort to devalue nonscientific approaches, for the latter have fostered valuable insights into the geographical diversity of the planet and the human–environment dynamic. Rather, the focus on the geographical sciences comes in response to the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies' charge to assess the ways in which the community of geographically oriented scientists can effectively contribute to an understanding of the changes that are remaking the planet. In approaching its work, the committee that produced this report did not adopt a narrow definition of science, however. Instead, the committee evaluated various research endeavors that seek to advance applied and theoretical understanding based on the systematic analysis or assessment of empirical data and information.
This report is substantially different from previous NRC assessments focused on geographical research. Earlier studies focused on the character and perspectives of the discipline of geography (NRC, 1965; Taffe et al., 1970). More recently, Rediscovering Geography (NRC, 1997) sought to highlight what the discipline of geography had to offer at a time of rapidly rising interest in geographical ideas and to consider how geography might respond to that interest. That report was written principally "for the broad audience that is curious about geography's new place in a national spotlight" (NRC, 1997: 15).
This report, in contrast, is written against the backdrop of the emergence of a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary community of scientists that is drawing on a variety of geographical perspectives and techniques. The approaches that these geographical scientists employ include spatial analysis (often making use of GIS and related technologies), remote sensing, geographical visualization, numerical and analytical modeling, and deductive analysis based on spatial data and assessments of linkages among and between places. The central concern of this report is to assess how the array of approaches and techniques of the geographical sciences might be most effectively deployed in the effort to address major social and environmental questions. It is important to emphasize that the goal of the report is not to provide an overview of the geographical sciences or to offer an analysis of successes and challenges. Instead the goal is to elucidate key contributions the geographical sciences can make to the task of confronting some of the most pressing, contemporary large-scale scientific questions of the day.
The audience for the report, then, is twofold. On the one hand, it is written for researchers and scholars in a position to develop and advance the geographical science enterprise over the coming decade. On the other hand, it is aimed at scientifically literate people, including policy makers, who can benefit from an understanding of what the geographical sciences have to offer and who can help sustain and promote geographically grounded efforts to understand life on Earth in the 21st century.
In developing this report, the committee relied on NRC studies, other published reports and literature, and the experience and expertise of its members. The committee also solicited input from the broader community in three ways: first, in the form of presentations at the committee's open meetings; second, in a public panel session at the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers (AAG); and third, from a Web-based questionnaire written by the committee, designed to gather community input on the committee charge. The committee used the community input to shape its discussion of potential research questions, and the research questions that resulted reflect the themes of the input.
The committee held three open meetings. The first was in Washington, D.C., at the National Academy of Sciences, where the committee heard from the sponsoring agencies and organizations, reviewed its task, and charted a course for the study. The second meeting was in Irvine, California, at the Beckman Center, where the committee heard presentations from invited guests and reviewed the community input it had received. Between the first and second meetings, the committee held its public panel session at the AAG meeting, which consisted of seven invited presentations (see Appendix C) and a question-and-answer session with the audience. The public panel session speakers spanned the range of the geographical sciences and were invited for their

Reports: Raptors, Patrick Patterson agree to new three-year deal
The Raptors have agreed to re-sign restricted free agent forward Patrick Patterson to a three-year contract worth $18 million, according to ESPN.com and the Toronto Sun.
Patterson, 25, was acquired by Toronto as part of the return package for Rudy Gay in a Dec. 2013 trade with Sacramento. A physical 6-foot-9 forward with the versatility to defend stretch forwards and the ability to step out and hit three-pointers himself, Patterson fit in well on an overachieving, blue-collar Raptors squad that produced the franchise's first trip to the postseason since 2008. He appeared mostly in a reserve role last season -- averaging 8.5 points and 5.3 rebounds, while shooting 46 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep -- but is capable of stepping into the starting lineup in the event of injuries
Raptors GM Masai Ujiri has now reached agreements with both Kyle Lowry (who agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal) and Patterson, attempting to keep the team together after a pleasantly surprising season. Among Toronto's free agents, Patterson was the second-highest priority after Lowry, and now Ujiri has succeeded in retaining both. Next up: a decision on reserve point guard Greivis Vasquez.
Grade: B+.and Patterson boasted one of the best defensive ratings on the roster. He gets it done with a good mix of quickness and strength, and he is essential for match-up purposes when opponents try to go small.
The 2010 lottery pick was drafted by Houston and then traded to Sacramento at the 2013 trade deadline in the deal that sent Thomas Robinson to the Rockets. Although Patterson lacks Robinson's eye-popping athleticism, this contract is evidence that Patterson was able to make the most of his skills once he found the right roster fit. Patterson now goes down as one of the biggest winners of the Gay trade, as he swapped a crowded Sacramento frontcourt for a clear, defined role north of the border. Without that midseason move, it's unlikely that Patterson would have found this type of financial reward.
Still, the contract terms are reasonable for Toronto. Patterson compares favorably to the other players -- Jodie Meeks, Darren Collison and Shaun Livingston -- who have agreed to sign in this price range so far in the summer. Ujiri should have no trouble moving this contract if Toronto finds itself needing to change direction during the next few years.

Kelly Clarkson to Anchor ABC Singing Show, Duetsby Hilton Hater at . Comments
ABC is getting into the singing competition game.
The network announced last night that Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles will headline Duets this summer, a reality show that will take the four stars on the road in search of singing partners.
Each week, the celebrity and one of his/her proteges will take the stage and perform in front of a live studio audience.
Said Clarkson, who won season one of American Idol and served as a mentor this year on The Voice, in a press release:
"The simple fact that I get to go out and find two people I believe in, sing with them every week and help them accomplish their dream is an amazing thing I can't wait to be a part of."
The winner of the competition will earn a recording contract with Hollywood Records.
Some of us love the singing shows! Music lifts people's spirits! I for one think it's great entertainment
Kelly should duet with you tube sensation SARA NIEMIETZ!!
wow, fat.
I agree Lexy. This is what is wrong with t.v. today. People have run out of ideas and just keep rehashing the same old stuff but in a different format. Very boring. Where did all of the good writers and/or producers go?
Omg is she bloated or did she really gain all that weight?
Do we really need another singing tv show?

Preformed Line Products Company (NASDAQ:PLPC)
An international designer and manufacturer of products and systems employed in the construction and maintenance of overhead and underground networks for the energy, telecommunication, cable operators, information and other similar industries.
Volatile little company that makes wireline and other subterranean infrastructure, with 50+% of its business coming from rest-of-world (ex-US).
It's been on an acquisition spree for the last 4 years, getting rid of some free cash, and the goodwill and amortization numbers have sort of confused the balance sheet. The latest acquisition, Dulmison, bought from Tyco Electronics, serves the 'transmission, distribution and fiber optic' arena and as far as management seems to want to state, the acquisition has been immediately accretive. However, earnings have been lumpy - they put in a nice miss in 1Q10 and a strong beat in 3Q10 - and they have not been able to grow a cash pile, stuff's burning a hole in their pocket and cash on hand has been on a downtrend, from $30m to $23m - since 2006. They pay a little dividend that boils down to an 18% payout ratio. Debt to equity is 5%; nearly 2/3 of shareholder equity is intangibles and goodwill.
I think upside could include greater profits from integration than is currently realized (gritting my teeth, because so often the opposite is true,) a stronger economic recovery worldwide, and a possible moderation of commodity costs. Downside is pretty much the mirror flip of the above - higher commodity costs, worldwide stagflation, and the usual integration snafus.
The company was cheap a year ago, selling well below P/B and with a P/E in the mid single digits, but share price has doubled since then. Insiders are bullish and own 34% of the company, unusual, but they have issued nearly 1.2% of the total equity of the company in share-based compensation to directors in the last year; the CEO's wife is a director and they even issued some number of shares to some entity called 'Rabbi Trust.'
I think the company is probably set to tick along, but I think buying it here means banking on it doubling its earnings this year, and I see no sign that that is likely to occur. Made the pick before I did the DD, so take it for what it's worth.

Updated: November 19, 2012 2:13AM
A Peace Corps mission in Niger about 25 years ago kindled a desire in Leslie Natzke to do more for girls and women of the West Africa republic.
Natzke, a teacher, was startled that few girls attended junior high or high school in Niger and many were married off before turning 18 by impoverished families to collect dowries.
There is still plenty of despair there. Earlier this year, the charity Save the Children ranked Niger as the worst place in the world to be a mother, replacing Afghanistan at the bottom.
Natzke, of Albany Park, spent years thinking about and planning ways to help. In 2008 she launched Expanding Lives, a nonprofit that brings teenage and young adult women from Niger to Chicago each summer and immerses them for up to six weeks in English, computers, leadership, health, entrepreneurship and basic finance.
"At first we wanted to give them a boost to stay in school," Natzke, 49, says. "Then it was, 'We're going to give them a boost, and they're going to become leaders.'"
Many of the women are on their way to fulfilling that prophecy. Natzke keeps a count of those who are pursuing university degrees and those who are wrapping up high school and planning to attend college.
Expanding Lives (ExpandingLives.com) board members spend this time of year fund-raising, planning and seeking applicants, with help from the charity Micro-Credit in Africa. Natzke relies on volunteers to teach classes at Loyola relating to basic life skills.
The women learn to knit, crochet and make plarn, a form of yarn made from thin plastic bags that litter the world. That might not seem like much, yet it could be the beginning of a craft business for a Nigerien woman. "One girl was very good at that," Natzke says. "She teaches it at schools."
The course in finance gives them basic knowledge on how to secure and manage small loans. The health class might be the most important, because it teaches the women about reproductive health and diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis. They know HIV can be deadly, Natzke says, but her group dispels myths about how the disease is transmitted.
Each young woman has an American peer mentor, or you might say a BFF, during her stay. Natzke, who teaches English as a Second Language and French at Niles West High School in Skokie, has found willing students from her school district to join.
"It might sound silly, but the program and the activities really change the volunteers on the American side," says Akshita Siddula, a junior at the University of Illinois who has been a peer mentor for four years. "It helped me decide what I want to do."
Siddula is majoring in literature and community health and plans to pursue international nonprofit work after college.
"You can read about [another country], but it's not the same as being one-on-one with someone," Siddula says. She notes that most of the women from Niger come from large Muslim families. "They value family. They help take care of their younger siblings. They balance extra demands, fighting for fair education and helping to run the household."
Natzke knows her organization is making a difference, not only because participants are pursuing higher education, but also because word is spreading in Niger about her organization.
She shared one applicant's written response on why she applied: "I've met the Expanding Lives girls. They're strong. They're smart. They're cultured. And I want to be like them."

TEMPLE, Texas (AP) -- A hospital physician says he doesn't expect any more fatalities resulting from the shooting at Fort Hood that left three dead and wounded 16 others.
Dr. Matthew Davis said during a news conference Thursday that he's optimistic none of the three critically wounded patients being treated at Scott & White Memorial Hospital will succumb to their injuries.
Davis says "several" of the victims at the hospital northeast of Austin will be discharged Thursday, but he didn't say how many. He described them as in "good spirits."
A hospital spokesman says three victims from Wednesday's shooting at the Army base remain in critical condition, two are fair and four are in good condition.
The other victims are being treated elsewhere and the extent of their injuries is unclear.

WICHITA, Kan. -- The fourth annual downtown clean-up along Douglas St. in Wichita brought out 113 people. The cleanup route extend from St. Francis Street to Waco.
People were sweeping streets, touching up road paint, picking up trash and doing landscaping work. Angie Courtney was spreading mulch around the flower beds near Century II. "I think getting involved in the community is good and to see the community coming together to keep our city looking good and more inviting," Courtney said, "I think that was really awesome."
Courtney's friend Suzy Finn was helping with the same chore. "It's exciting to see so many people of different ages come out and help with something like this and make sure that downtown is looking good," Finn said.
The event was put on by the Wichita Downtown Development Corporation. The WDDC works in conjunction with the city of Wichita to help coordinate tasks and get supplies to the volunteers.
Communications Director for WDDC said that the cost was very small for the project because of the over 100 volunteers helping for free.

The man and his wife heard the sound of God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from God among the trees of the garden.
But God called to the man, "Where are you?"
He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."
And the Lord God said, "Who told you that you were naked?"
Haven't I told you
Don't run away from me
You'll find me like a fountainhead
Wherever you go in this mirage
Even if you leave me
With anger for a hundred thousand years
You'll finally return
Since i'm your final home
Haven't I told you
Don't be fooled with
The spangles in life
I'm your final fulfillment
–Rumi, "Haven't I Told You" | The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world […] And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
–Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
Who told you that you were inadequate?
That your desires were sickening?
That your ambitions were trite?
That your needs were un-meetable?
That love only comes when you do something right?
Who told you that your eyelids weren't worthy of framing your vision?
To pour bleach in the bathtub to lighten your skin?
That your legs were monstrous, instead of miracles in motion?
That the gap between your teeth warranted anything but awe?
Who tore up your trust?
Who extinguished your faith?
Who duped you into thinking that you are not stardust?
Who filled your head with this crushing cacophony?
Who led you away from your center, your light?
Who groomed you for fear, and silence, and shame?
Who's stopping you, now?
This is your game.

I don't know who that guy is, but you can add him to the list of the lucky
few many that have gotten their hands on Lindsay Lohan's breasts. Now, don't go thinking that Lindsay Lohan is back to loving sausage. No, she's still very much pretending that she's not really dating Samantha Ronson, but these pictures of Lindsay Lohan getting her boobs grabbed, and felt up are from the set of her new movie Labor Pains.
Lindsay is actually pregnant in this scene, and you can see her fake baby bump. So I guess this movie is for all those pregnant sex fetishists out there. Or for all those people who want a low-rent, version of Knocked Up. Wow. I can't wait to not see this movie.
And yes, the guy is trying to round third base. Kinda reminds me of the time we saw Lindsay Lohan giving a blow job.
Now, when do I get to touch Lindsay Lohan's breasts? Everyone else has.

Saybrook Program
"If my family and I would have been living somewhere else, we would probably be homeless because of my mother's medical leave at work. Saybrook has provided me and my family with a home and people who I can call my friends and family, and since the rent's low, we get enough clothes and food."
In Sacramento County, 74% of people who are homeless have at least one disability. Saybrook Permanent Supportive Housing Program provides a compassionate, integrative, and comprehensive support system for families coping with mental health disabilities, as well as with alcohol and other drug addictions.
More on the Saybrook Program
Families entering the program must be a family unit, with at least one child under the age of 18. They must have one adult who has a disability. In families where substance abuse is a factor, family members must be clean and sober and willing to participate in a relapse prevention or recovery program.
As they enter the program they're provided with a case manager and help buying household necessities to give them a fresh start. Adult family members are assessed by substance abuse and mental health specialists to determine their case management needs—services that can make all the difference in preventing a return to homelessness. Our services have helped 85% of Saybrook families remain in housing for six months or more, achieving stability and self-sufficiency.
Case managers provide services on site, providing families with immediate crisis intervention and counseling if needed. Working closely with residents, they develop plans, provide referrals, provide family counseling, and collaborate with public and community providers and advocate on behalf of their clients to get needed services. Case managers also work with client families to build personal relationships, create individual goals, and to guide and encourage them towards self-sufficiency.
Saybrook community activities are driven by residents' interests and needs and designed to encourage a community spirit and individual empowerment. Youth programs include life skills, anger management, drug and gang prevention, building self-esteem, after-school tutoring and homework assistance, the use of a computer lab, and employment readiness and support services. On site childcare provides professionally licensed day care, kindergarten readiness, early literacy programs, and parent education.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in La Manga Strip
6th floor self-catering apartment directly on a beautiful Mediterranean beach
Exquisite apartment in a small development situated at one of the narrowest parts of the La Manga strip, directly on a long, wide, sandy Mediterranean beach, with none of the dense crowds you will find further down the peninsula.
The apartment is on the 6th floor with breathtaking views over the Mar Menor, Europe's largest lagoon and a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Furnished and decorated to a very high standard inside, including a 32" flat-screen LCD TV with UK 'Freesat' TV and Spanish free-to-air digital TV channels, iPhone/iPod dock, DVD player (which also plays Cd's, MP3 Cd's and DIVX video discs. We have also provided a 3.5mm jack for you to connect your iPod, or other MP3 player, to the TV speakers). The complex includes a well-equipped gym with a sauna, table tennis table, padel tennis court and swimming pool.

The other Nature Reserve is unspoiled Calblanque (volcanic cliffs over isolated sand beaches) which is situated south of La Manga between La Manga Club and Cabo de Palos. Cabo de Palos, which is at the neck of La Manga strip, has many seafood restaurants and dive centres. The Sunday flea market, "Mercadillo de Cabo de Palos" takes place every Sunday morning along the year next to the old road Cabo de Palos-La Manga-Cartagena. In the Mercadillo you have fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers from the famous Murcia and Cartagena plantations and also clothing, shoes, gifts, etc. Prices are much better than the ones you find in the regular shops or supermarkets.
The ancient port town of Cartagena is the nearest major town, about 40 km away. It dates back to Roman times and boasts the ruins of a Roman theatre, archaeological museums plus a number of interesting examples of military and modernist exhibits and architecture.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Beach is just meters away perfect for young children with shallow, warm waters. We spent three summers in the area and love the atmosphere which is family friendly and quiet. The apartment is very nice, has everything and more, Internet connection was a great benefit, good size bedrooms, nice bathrooms, kitchen has all you need on holidays. It was very warm but we never used air conditioner because of nice breeze. Great size balcony where you could comfortably dine in the morning and the evening with fantastic views. This apartment is on the 6th floor and it is very quiet which is plus for family with young kids. Good supermarket is three bus stops away, two restaurants are near walking distance, bus stop is just at the building side. The owner is very helpful and prompt with all information and advice. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to my family and friends.

Manhattan's pretty people paused Thursday evening to ponder the crisis in Iraq with director Paul Haggis at a screening of his new film In the Vally of Elah, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron, and Susan Sarandon, and based on reporter Mark Boal's 2004 piece for Playboy "Death and Dishonor."
While Boal was in the Middle East on assignment, Playboy's Chris Napolitano was on hand to toast Haggis's work, a decidedly bleak crime story about a young soldier gone AWOL upon returning from Iraq. After scoring the Oscar statuette for Crash, Haggis told the intimate crowd, he went looking for scripts that would have the least chance of seeing the light of day, telling his producing partners, "Bring me the one that will never get made in Hollywood."
Film-goers then braved the taxi strike and made it down to the after-party at Jour et Nuit to raise funds for the Accompanied Literary Society. As model Lily Cole, downtown scenester Arden Wohl, and Michael Musto clinked glasses and milled around with Iraq Veterans wearing anti-war tees, Haggis joked to the throng, "No, seriously, I really do read Playboy for the articles." As he passed through the crowd, an onlooker whispered, "It was a hell of a lot better than Crash!" And so the Oscar campaign season begins.

Legacies of Empire
The second of the two Longman/History Today prize-winning essays on the topic 'Is distance lending enchantment to the view historians have of the British Empire and its legacies'.
The sun may finally have set, but as darkness falls the storytellers perpetuate the myths... With such anniversaries as the centenary of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and fifty years of Indian and Pakistani independence – not to mention the handing over of Hong Kong – it is hardly surprising that the past few years have seen a spate of published works about the British Empire. It is noticeable at first that most of the volumes published in this country and almost all of those intended for a popular readership are anglo-centric in nature. In a review of three books in History Today in August, 1996, for example, David Washbrook commented that even the text which followed Saidian analysis was anglo-centred. This is perhaps inevitable due to the availability of extant sources (and indeed, the further back in time one goes, the more likely the indigenous voice is to be lost); but clearly the story of empire will vary enormously depending on differing perspectives and experiences; and it would appear that most of the history which is more readily available – and certainly that aimed at a wider readership – is that from the perspective of the rulers and possibly their agents rather than the ruled.

Make a fashion statement with Double Stitch: Designs for the Crochet Fashionista, a collection of stylish, sexy, and modern crochet patterns for the fashion diva. Chicago-based crochet designers and twins Erika and Monika Simmons bring edge to the craft with twenty-five fashion-forward projects inspired by their retail design line using simple crochet techniques mixed with innovative construction, form-fitting designs, playful color combinations, and unique detailing.
Even if you've never crocheted before, the simple techniques in Double Stitch-and the flirty, sassy designs-will have you crocheting in no time. Projects are divided into two main sections: "Out and About" features daytime crochet wear perfect for layering over T-shirts or wearing with jeans-taking you from the downtown coffeehouse to the beach with ease. Choose from projects that include a webbed halter dress, hooded poncho with matching leg warmers, a salsa belt, the remix T-shirt using a finished shirt with added crocheted sleeves, a tube-style apron top, plus much more. "Paint the Town" features evening looks with fun detailing, open weave crochet, and glamorous accessories. Projects include a gothic shawl, feather choker with matching cocktail bag, peek-a-boo full-length dress, slinky tailored shrug, corset with satin ribbon tie, shrunken jacket, plus much more. At the back of the book are all of the basic crochet techniques you need to create each project featured. The projects all have a hip, bohemian, urban vibe that can be dressed up or down based on the styling.
Whether you live in a big city or just want to look like you do, the young designers behind Double Stitch show how easy it is to make crochet fashionably modern, flirtatious, and fun.

Number Of Pages:
Erika and Monika Simmons have been crocheting since they were in fourth grade. The thirty-something twins and Chicago natives started their Double Stitch clothing and accessories line in 2002 after a number of post-college jobs, including modeling and dancing. Their work is carried at the Mai Rees Boutique in Chicago. They were recently awarded the Style Makers and Rule Breakers award by Fashion Group International, and their collection was recently selected by Macy's on State Street in Chicago as part of their Chicago Indie Designer Shop. The Simmons sisters are also new official spokespersons for Red Heart.
"Thanks to these talented Chicago designers a wider audience will hopefully grow to appreciate the hip possibilities of the hook." -- BellaOnline Crochet Editor
"The Simmons twins are true fashionistas, which shines through in all of their designs." -- Craftsanity.com
"A great source for learning how the bounds of crochet can be stretched and redefined." -- Crochet Today
"The Double Stitch sisters have terrific, glamorous style that's shown off in this book. I'd call it the first really sexy, chic, club girl crochet." -- CrochetInsider.com
"Takes crochet to new levels with the edgy, body-shaping designs the Chicago designers are known for creating." -- Ebony
"These are designs with a difference! Many of the projects are very unusual and the end result will be true head-turning one of a kind masterpieces. An interest in garment design and an enthusiasm for unusual clothes may well inspire someone to pick up a crochet hook for the first time." -- MonstersandCritics.com
"Elegantly flirty, authoritatively saucy, these projects take full advantage of crochet's openwork." -- Yarn Market News
Well everything in this book is great! and so easy, I just love the way most if not all patterns can be done with Worst weight yarn. the only con in this book in my opinion is the fact that there are no pattern directions past extra large.I am so much thicker then an extra large!! so I find myself trying to alter the patterns to fit me. with that said besides sizing this book should be part of any urban crocheters library

I just received my book and I was floored, the designs in this book is so awesome, I've started on the overhead sleeves, and it so easy to do, I can't wait to start the others. I love the Gothic Shawl, and the Hooded Poncho, as a matter of fact I love every item the book. Erika and Monica are really true Crochet Fashionistas, YOU GO GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!

This book is full of cutting edge designs that are easy to follow for even the beginning crocheter. The mix of colors are an inspiration and the directions are easy to follow to create the items. I was able to move beyond scarves and create items that my friends envy.

This books is full of interesting blends: Patterns: You find patterns for traditional garments (sweaters, scarves, shrugs, etc.). At the same time you find more unique patterns such as Funky One Sleeve, Corset Top, Webbed Halter, etc. Yarns: The yarns called for include stuff from the local yarn store (Berroco, Blue Sky Alpacas, Rowan) but also yarns you would find at the craft chains like Jo-Anns (TLC, Caron, LionBrand). Whatever your budget, the patterns work. Attentions spans: you won''t have to put a month into making each individual piece. These were awesomely easy/intermediate patterns. Also, the Simmons'' combine different yarn colors and textures with amazing results. Some of the patterns are more risqué than others. Like the back cover says, "make crochet fashionably modern, sexy, and fun."

I thought this book looked fantastic, but the very first pattern I tried, I had to reconfigure the gauge and there are so many design flaws! Luckily for me, I have 20 years experience crocheting so I made the appropriate adjustments, but how did this get published with so many errors???

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech and a faculty associate with the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard. I am also affiliated with the GVU Center at Georgia Tech. My research interests are in the area of computational social science, wherein I am interested in questions around making sense of human behavior as manifested via our online social footprints. I am motivated by how the availability of large-scale online social data, coupled with computational methods and resources can help us answer fundamental questions relating to our social lives: our actions, interactions, emotions and linguistic expression. I am interested in these problems both from an individual perspective, at the same time, as part of a larger collective.
My recent work has focused on investigating the role of online social activity traces in improving our health and well-being. Particularly, we have explored ways of harnessing social media in being able to reason about and infer "signatures" of behavioral and public health of individuals and communities. This research bears potential in its ability to provide timely, valuable, and smart interventions as well as has implications in healthcare policy.
Before moving to Georgia Tech in Spring 2014, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the neXus group at Microsoft Research, Redmond, between 2011 and 2013. I received my Ph.D in 2011 from the Department of Computer Science at Arizona State University, Tempe, where I was a part of the transdisciplinary program and venture on digital media: Arts, Media & Engineering. Following grad school, I also spent some time at the School of Communication and Information, Rutgers.
Prospective Students: I am looking forward to working with self-motivated, hard-working students who are interested to work on problems that bear real-world impact. The problems I am interested in require intellectual rigor and interdisciplinary exploration around computational and social science focus. For an overview, refer to the publications page. If you are interested in talking to me about prospective projects, please drop me an email. Please enclose your CV/resume, information on your technical skills, and prior research experience, if any.

McKayla Maroney: Not Impressed on The Late Show!by Free Britney at . Comments
McKayla Maroney and her "Fierce Five" U.S. women's gymnastics teammates appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night, where the host had them show off their best "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" faces.
"It is pretty funny," said Maroney, 16, of the meme that's taken over the web. "After I did it, the girls kept pointing it out, 'You're doing that face again.'"
"Every time she does it, we're like, 'There it is!'" teammate Aly Raisman said. "We've all been working on it." The girls then showed off their best McKayla.
McKayla's priceless, apathetic reaction to winning a mere silver medal in the vault has been applied to everything from the Dwight Howard trade to the Grand Canyon.
She even spoofed it herself in a funny Instagram photo at the London Olympics, where the girls became the first U.S. team champions since 1996.
Watch another clip of their appearance on the late show below:
I thought this episode of the Letterman show was really funny. It was funny how the rest of the team pointed out the face and have it mastered as well. I suppose if you're going for gold and got silver that face would be warranted. I love watching the Letterman show and record it on my Hopper thanks to the suggestion of a Dish coworker. I love watching these recordings because when I play back I'm able to start watching in my living room and continue watching anywhere in my house right where I left off. It's so convenient because I don't miss any highlights and can get a lot of work done while I watch.
Hi girls you all did great in the olympicscograts too all and I'm wondering when we can all see ou again
Shouldnt it actually be the "Fierce Four" and the "other one." Seriously, who is the other girl? I'm sure she did great too but I never even saw her compete and don't even remember her name!

Great looking set of stools. Very easy to assemble. The only issue I have is 1 of the 4 legs is shorter than the others. I was able to put a tiny piece of wood on the bottom to stop the rocking. Other than that, I am satisfied. - Michelle
