I think the picture speaks for itself. A story about arch nemesis Brandi Glanville cheating on Eddie FIRST with some guy just SIX WEEKS AFTER GIVING BIRTH.
I know...clutch your pearls and try not to faint... I'm breathing into a bag right now myself. The shock! The horror! A woman who was legitimately separated slept with a man! Yes, calm down y'all...Brandi and Eddie were already over when the lil' guy was born. Nothing to see here, keep on moving.
Oh God...who even cares. Sit and spin on this one LeeLee and have the gorilla throw another dart. This is about to blow up in your face. And if my publicist chose that picture for a magazine cover? Yeah...they'd probably have a blunt object hurled in their general direction. Or again...maybe the gorilla picked that one.
here. Note the awful picture editing chose. They don't like her much either. The phone calls and emails get old.
So yeah, she's dumb as a brick and not doing anything to change people's mind about what kind of turd she is. Point, Brandi. Your move again, Gorilla.

Letter sent to Hickenlooper says not to forget Pinnacol Assurance employees
In the rapidly unfolding effort to privatize Pinnacol Assurance, one group has been completely overlooked: Pinnacol's 600 employees.
At least that's the contention of a letter sent to Gov. John Hickenlooper's office that is purportedly from Pinnacol employees. The Denver Post was emailed a copy of the letter Monday evening.
The deal Pinnacol officials have proposed is turning the state-chartered worker's compensation insurer into a privately held mutual assurance company – owned by its policy holders and with the state given a 40 percent stake. That company could then take its private stock public at some later time, if its board chose to do so.
One of the tenets of the deal would be that Pinnacol's employees, now covered by the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association, would cut ties with PERA and go to a private retirement plan. The proposal calls for paying PERA $125 million to sever Pinnacol employees from the defined benefit retirement fund.
But, according to the letter, no one ever asked Pinnacol employees about that.
"Employees were notified of the proposal at the same time as the general public," the letter said. "The management team then conducted all employee meetings to provide additional information on the proposed changes.

Schenectady community center seeks funding solutions
SCHENECTADY -- A small
group gathered Tuesday evening to suggest ways Carver Community Center can better serve
Hamilton Hill residents when its able to open. The center abruptly closed last
month after its leader said it ran into financial problems.
Carvers financial consultant Al Jackson had previously estimated Carver owed $130,000 to the Internal Revenue Service and about $150,000 to vendors, but said Tuesday the debt may be more.
Carver is still an incorporated body. We are not dead as even we may have thought. We can still provide activities. There are things we have to fix with the IRS and we're laying out a schedule and a plan to do that, said Carver Chairwoman Lola Cole.
Cole said because of the tax debt, Carver lost its non-profit status with the IRS. The board hopes to find a non-profit partner to help run the center and its programs.
It just seemed like something you didn't think would ever happen like it was bigger than life, like it would always be there, said Donna Evans, a resident who attended Carver as a child. That was the best place to meet all my friends, you get out of school at Mont Pleasant and go across the bridge and first place you used to went was Carver. Everybody gathered at Carver.
Several residents hoped Carver would expand its tutoring services and partner with the dozen churches in the area to expand its reach. Jackson hoped they could reopen in several months, but no official timeline had been established.
Sometimes you kind of forget that things dont operate on air anymore. Theres no rich person in the background saying don't worry I got it, said Evans. They're not there so it's got to be us. Im optimistic.

It won the Paley Center's holiday special poll with 59% of the vote, beating out better but less infamous specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Air pollution, traffic jams, now the Holiday Special… God must be really pissed at L.A. ;-)
So what exactly are they screening? Some bootleg 10th generation copy bought from some dude at a convention? Or is this and the official site retrospective part of a carefully and subtley orchestrated move on the part of Lucasfilm to revive the Special in hopes of eventual DVD sales?
Sorry, I'm a fan, it's my destiny to sense conspiracy everywhere…
YAY! There IS a God, and He's a fan of Bea Arthur! This rocks!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are ready for XMAS if celebrating.
I'll be in & out during the weekend
and hope to see you here too.
I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas ahead of time
as many are probably travelling.
Have a safe trip to and from your destination and have FUN ;O)
Oh of course: be good as Santa is watching ;O)
For me:
Friday is finished for me,,, went to the neurologist, she ran a series of tests and I will need to have an MRI on the neck again. I should not be having the problems I'm having so needs to be checked out to see if there is anything new lurking around in there. Until then rest and relax and not lift stuff. Afterwards I finished putting the lights on my tree (looks pretty) and am slowly hanging the ornaments (will do most of it on Saturday.)
Saturday: finish the tree, maybe make some cookie dough (chocolate crinkles and thumbprint cookies) and not much else. Alll shopping is done.
Sunday: go out for brunch perhaps (not sure) ,, finish wrapping presents, bake the cookies.
Will try to make soup and some other things for ds/dil who are both down with nasty colds. Ds has been out of work for a week now and has passed it on to dil. Hoping Mikie stays healthy.
Nothing else planned.

"My thoughts are not your thoughts. For as high as the heavens are the above the earth, so are my thoughts above your thoughts, my ways above your ways." should be written over every pulpit. Because so often we think that God's ways are our ways. God's thoughts are our thoughts. And we created God in our own image and likeness saying, "God approves of this. God forbids that. God desires the other." This is where some of the worst atrocities of religion have come from. Because people have used [it] to give a sacred seal of a divine approval to some of their most worst hatreds, loathings, and fears. Whereas to the great theologians what I found when I was studying for A History Of God the great theologians in all three of the monotheistic religions, Jewish, Christian, Muslim all insisted that yes, God was personal. But God went beyond the personal. You shouldn't speak glibly about God in Judaism you may not speak God's name as a reminder that any human expression of the divine is likely to be so limited as to be blasphemous. But God should challenge your assumptions you shouldn't imagine you've got Him in your pocket.Karen Armstrong

Cell free DNA testing can reduce the false positives in prenatal tests, new research suggests.
It's the news that no pregnant woman wants to hear: "There is a chance that something is wrong with your baby." And for most women who undergo prenatal screening, it's a false alarm — followed by days or weeks of anxiety and invasive tests, only to determine the baby is healthy.
But a newly developed blood test for pregnant women could greatly reduce those false alarms, according to research published Wednesday — and it can be done as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. While these blood tests have already been on the market for a while, this is the first study showing how effective they are compared to the older testing methods for all women, not just those considered at high risk of having babies with chromosomal abnormalities.
The test is called the "cell free DNA test" (cfDNA) and it looks at small amounts of actual fetal DNA in mom's blood. Researchers performed the test on nearly 2,000 pregnant women and found that the rate of false positives with this new test was 10 times lower than with standard screening measures, which are done later in the pregnancy.
"If you were screened positive with cfDNA test, there was a 45 percent chance that your fetus had Down syndrome, and if you had a standard test only a 4 percent chance that the fetus had Down syndrome," explained study author Dr. Diana Bianchi, Executive Director of the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center.
In other words, 96 percent of women with a positive test on the standard screen don't end up having a child with Down syndrome. In order to be truly sure of a diagnosis, women with a positive test undergo more invasive testing such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. Not only are these tests more invasive, they carry with them a risk of miscarriage.
Jennifer Fontaine has seen the power of the new blood test first hand. After a standard prenatal test, the 29-year-old from Groveland, Mass., got a call at the lab where she works saying there was a chance that her baby had Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18).
"It was devastating. There was a possibility that she wouldn't make it through her first week of life or even the pregnancy."
"I went home immediately and started looking it up online," she said. "It was devastating. There was a possibility that she wouldn't make it through her first week of life or even the pregnancy."
For two agonizing weeks she waited. When she met with the doctors again, they offered her a choice: She could get an amniocentesis, which carries a risk of miscarriage but would give her a definitive answer, or she could repeat the screening with this newly developed blood test.
She opted for the newer screening test and got great news -- her baby tested negative for trisomy 18. "We were ecstatic," says Jennifer, whose daughter Morgan is now a healthy 3-month-old.
The cfDNA test screens for Edwards syndrome and two of the other most common genetic disorders – Down syndrome and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). It can be done as early as the 10th week of pregnancy, with results available in about one week. It's currently recommended for pregnant women at high risk for having babies with Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
Although the results of the study are encouraging, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has yet to update recommendations on screening. But physicians are hopeful that this could represent the future of prenatal testing.
"Studies such as this one will inevitably challenge them to consider updating their guidelines," said Dr. Brian Skotko, a pediatrician and Co-Director of Massachusetts General Hospital's Down Syndrome Program.
Not everyone is excited about advances in prenatal testing. Some pro-life advocates as well as families of children born with Down syndrome argue that these tests may spell the end of kids with Down syndrome and related chromosomal abnormalities. In particular, they worry that if parents are given news of a possible abnormality based on a more accurate test early in the pregnancy, that would encourage them to abort an affected fetus if further testing bore out the diagnosis.
"The first step is being able to reliably identify those pregnancies that are at risk for abnormalities. What if anything the patient wants to do with the information is up to them."
"There are those who are going to say that you are increasing abortion as testing becomes easier and more widespread," explains Dr. Arthur Caplan, head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Doctors say that advances like cfDNA simply provide more accurate information. "The first step is being able to reliably identify those pregnancies that are at risk for abnormalities," says Dr. Michael Greene, Chief of Obstetrics at Massachusetts General Hospital. "What if anything the patient wants to do with the information is up to them."
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology doesn't track the number of women who get more invasive tests like amniocentesis, but Dr. Greene said the new test can "dramatically reduce" the number by reducing false positives.
This advanced testing also comes with a hefty price tag. Four companies offer cell free DNA testing: Verifi, MaterniT21, Harmony, and Panorama, and a single test generally costs anywhere from $795 to $2,000, compared to standard screens that are usually around $200-250. And until further research is done, it remains unlikely that this will be covered by standard insurance plans.
"We think insurers are unlikely to cover it for women not at high risk. But as more and more studies come out with similar results, we think more insurers will cover," explains Dr. Bianchi.
For Jennifer Fontaine, who ended up paying for it out of pocket, it was well worth it. "It was 100 percent worth it. It gave us the peace of mind — even if it did come back positive, we were prepared for what was ahead."

SPRINGFIELD - Governor Rod Blagojevich, Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Secretary Timothy W. Martin and Illinois State Police (ISP) Director Larry Trent announced today that preliminary figures indicate 113 fewer people were killed in traffic crashes in 2004 than in 2003. The Governor, Secretary Martin and Director Trent cite the state's primary seat belt enforcement law as one of the main reasons for the reduction in highway fatalities.
"We know there are likely other factors that may have saved lives on Illinois roadways, but we also know that more than 100 people are walking around today in part because of the primary seatbelt enforcement law," said Gov. Blagojevich.
"Because of the Governor's commitment to traffic safety, our preliminary numbers are showing a reduction in the number of people being killed in traffic crashes by about 8%," Secretary Martin said.
Governor Blagojevich signed the primary seat belt enforcement law in July of 2003. Since that time seat belt usage has increased by 7% in Illinois. During IDOT's annual seat belt survey in June of 2003, 76% of motorists were wearing seat belts; one year later, after the enactment of the primary seat belt legislation, 83% of motorists were wearing their seat belts.
In 2003, 1454 people were killed on Illinois highways. A final report will not be available until a later date, but based upon preliminary information, that number has decreased to 1341 for the year 2004. If the numbers hold true, this would be the lowest number of traffic fatalities in Illinois since 1943, when 1328 people were killed in traffic crashes.
An amendment to the Illinois Child Passenger Protection Act that went into effect on January 1, 2004, may also contribute to safer Illinois roadways. This law makes it the drivers' responsibility to properly secure any child under the age of 8 in an appropriate child restraint system; previously, the law was directed at children under the age of 4. It also provides that every driver must ensure passengers between the age of 8 and 16 are properly secured.
"Buckling up, every trip, every time, is the simplest thing you can do to save your life or a loved one's in a traffic crash," Director Trent said. "Education is an important component to get people to buckle up, but unfortunately, some folks just don't get it. That's why we need enforcement, and the ability to pull someone over for not wearing their seat belt. We will continue to aggressively enforce the seat belt statutes."

Planning a meeting with results
The art of the meeting is an ever-evolving animal. One that could make or break a business. From 10-person gatherings to meetings of the masses, there are certain rules that apply to all. We've rounded up the best local resources for getting it done from the first agenda item until the last power point closes.
In Lafayette, there is a reservoir of resources gathered in one simple place thanks to the Lafayette Convention and Visitor's Commission.
"This should be their first stop if planning a meeting here in lafayette," says Kelly Strenge, LCVC VP of communications. "Everything from finding the right hotel to putting in a request for proposals for the hotels and getting them the rates they need to the possibility of meeting space in a hotel or finding venues for their size and budget."
Even details like name badges and registration fall under the umbrella of LCVC's offerings. Strenge notes LCVC can guide businesses in finding less likely locales for meetings - think Acadian Village and Vermilionville. These locales off the beaten path may just be the ticket for shaking things up, according to meeting gurus like Aileen Bennett and Cookie Tuminello.
Bennett, a roaming creative director and idea thinker up (yes, that's officially her title), says shaking up the location can make all the difference in the success of a meeting.
"If everyone sits in the same ballroom in the same chairs thinking the same ... If something changes, they think differently," she notes. "And have healthy food in the meeting. Protein is good for you. You give everyone donuts and expect great ideas 15 minutes later?"
Good food may seem like a minor detail, but it's also one Liz Webb points quickly toward. The Cajundome's convention center sales manager says meeting planners are increasingly looking for great food for their meetings.
"People don't want to skip out for lunch anymore," she notes pointing toward award-winning chef's employed by the Cajundome to ensure that doesn't happen.
As people plan meetings, Webb says more and more businesses are looking to set themselves apart and seek alternatives to the traditional boss running the meeting - think motivational speakers and comedians.
Tuminello, who works with businesses of all sizes to achieve goals large and small, says setting up a meeting where the team can be honest is vital to accomplishing the goals of the meeting no matter the type of business or size of meeting.
"You have to begin to build trust among your team members. That it's okay to speak up. It's okay to pose ideas," Tuminello says.
Bennett also points to a neutral party leading a meeting and participation by every person in the room.
"Is your iPhone important in this meeting? What if everyone was paying attention? Wouldn't it be quicker and better? Half the time people are texting under the table," Bennett says. "If you're not participating in the meeting you shouldn't be in the room. If you're not saying your ideas out loud you are not doing anyone a service."
While getting creative is a great way to engage meeting goers, Bennett points toward the most basic elements missing from many meetings. These are the elements that mean the difference between success and failure. Between a meeting that ends with solutions versus a meeting that results in nothing more than more meetings.
"There should be a prepared agenda and everyone has thoughts about something before the meeting and my idea is this,'" Bennett says.
Bennett says knowing the team's strengths and how to tap into that is another crucial way to meeting success. She suggests new ways of brainstorming.
"Brainstorming isn't just writing things on a piece of paper. All meetings should be respectful of people's time. It's the only limited resource we have. I put different constraints on people. What would we do if we had a million or what would we do if we had no money? What would be a plan for two weeks or a three year plan? Having different constraints forces you to think creatively in different ways," Bennett says.
When it's all said and done, Tuminello notes, every single meeting should end with goals achieved and commitments made.
"You can have meetings all day, but when people walk out with this glazed look on their face and not a lot accomplished? You have to structure a meeting so that there are certain guidelines you are clear on and then have a verbal commitment," Tuminello says.
She notes that a simple absent nod of the head from your team member isn't enough. Meeting goers should be engaged in a real way.
"Everybody wants to comment and then you get off topic and you get done and everybody says that sounds good' and yet no one is accountable," Tuminello says. "Build in accountability, responsibility, trust and camaraderie and take into account you want them to take interest in and feel like a part of it and trust they can say what they need to say."

California Twisty Road
How many times have you seen a roadside warning of twisty road conditions for the next 100 miles!? In northern California there is a twisty-lover's dream road aptly named by the road sign posted as you approach. The motorcycle road is called simply yet starkly – "Twisty Road next 140 miles"
Read about the road that motorcycle riders describe with words like "rollercoaster," "never predictable," twisty heaven," and warning that it will leave you "queasy." For a route map and additional information visit the California section of MotorcycleRoads.com for the best motorcycle rides and trips in California.
If you enjoy sweepers more than twisties, a route in Washington state may be your ticket to paradise as this northeastern Washington ride is known as the "36 Mile Sweeper Paradise – Tiger to Colville." This ride is described as having "an almost hypnotic rhythm of sweepers, small straights, over a bed of continual elevation changes … had me literally grinning from the start to the finish!" Not only will you enjoy the road's curves but you'll enjoy the scenery described as "traveling through a forest that Walt Disney created – almost too good to be true." To see other great Washington state motorcycle rides visit the Washington section of MotorcycleRoads.com for the best motorcycle rides and trips in Washington.

Analyst calculates HP's stock, should be negative-$2
On Wednesday, HP CEO Meg Whitman stunned a group of analysts, at an investor's conference in San Francisco, by announcing that the company would see its earnings fall by 10% or more next year. Following that announcement, HP's stock hit a 10-year low. It was well known that the company was facing serious challenges, but this announcement took the wind out of the sails.
Enter Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne Agee, he was known as one of the few that felt HP still warranted some benefit of the doubt. After the announcement, his position changed to neutral. He then reviewed HP's balance sheet and described it as awful. So awful, the company's stock is really worth negative $2. "They are fortunate the stock's not zero," said Wu.
Echoing Whitman's sentiments that the challenges are structural, stemming from the merry-go-round of executive leadership over the past couple years, Wu added that the company's PC unit is not effectively competing with mobile devices, Windows 8 sales will be weak, and that the printer business, once the shining star of HP, was dying.
Like we noted at the beginning, HP's announcement this past week was a blood-letting in Wall Street terms, and investor sharks are nary very forgiving.

Seriously? HP's PC division alone is worth over 35 billion USD. Analysts these days will say anything to grab some attention.
2. Maxwell.R (Posts: 175; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
Unfortunately, that is not the case. The whole company's value has dipped below $30B based on market cap value. Some of what Wu was saying was certainly over the top, such as the goodwill writedowns will probably not be that drastic, but even if they were, that is a one time event.
3. CamaroSS (Posts: 72; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Well, market cap is not the true value of a company as it's based on highly volatile stats. Actual buyout value of a company with falling stock values always turn out to be more than double/triple of the market capital. For a company like HP it'd be even higher. Take Nokia for example with a current market cap around $10 billion. That doesn't mean that anyone can buy them out for $10 or even $20 or $30 billion dollar as there is little incentive for the current major stockholders to approve the deal.
4. Maxwell.R (Posts: 175; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
If that were the case, then T-Mobile USA would be paying a lot more than $1.5B for a 74% stake in the combined company with MetroPCS whose market cap is $4.6B. In terms of "ownership" the value of the stock reigns supreme. The volatility you cite occurs when the price of the stock is measured against the debt of the company. Nokia could easily be acquired in a hostile leveraged $20-30B buyout. What prevents that is their current negative margins in every category. That is not a bad position for Nokia since it obviously wants to regain its footing and not be bought out. But if one or two major institutional investors and major holders of the company floated the idea of selling out, it would be difficult for the company to resist since employees and executives typically do not hold enough ownership to thwart such measures. HP's acquisition of EDS was not a significant premium above its market cap. You make a valid point, but the days of a 200-300% mark-up for acquisitions are not viable in the current climate.
7. CamaroSS (Posts: 72; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
I looked up metro PCS news. Did you notice that cash is not the only payment Tmob is making? They are combining debts as well. Besides,
"Under the terms of the agreement, MetroPCS shareholders will receive $1.5 billion in cash and 26% ownership in the MERGED company. Deutsche Telekom will receive a 74% stake." :)
You're right about the climate and we both are right about the major stockholders approval requirement. Neither of us can predict what they are gonna do :)

If only they would finally put out that tab/laptop! I know I am not that critical of a thinker but when I saw that snip I got excited and told myself that is my next purchase!

It's nothing weird. HP is falling for a time now, needs to get back to mobile in post-PC era.
I'm always amused when I hear of analysts become stunned by those facts.
8. CamaroSS (Posts: 72; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Read it over, buddy. HP was doing just fine without mobile. Wasting one billion to get into mobile and couple bad acquisitions to become the next IBM overnight are the main culprits. Getting back into mobile will simply make it worse for them.
9. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 636; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
It will make it worse for them, but there again staying where they are will make it worse for them too (wait, that already happened). It's choosing the lesser evil. The paradigm in which HP was an IT giant is deconstructing and shifting where HP doesn't hold the right strings.
All of this was easily visible even two years ago when HP gave up on mobile, when they said, I quote: "This is Apple's domain, we have nothing to do here".
10. snowgator (Posts: 3290; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
There is no doubt that the previous 2 CEO's have destroyed any structure that HP had built. It is a horrid situation, one that will be a long time and much pain climbing out of. Any attempt to get this company back on track is two years in the making. What a fall.

its because of leadership!
but come on!! they're still on the top!

A good CEO is worth his weight in gold. A horrible one is sadly worth just as much plus a compensation package.
13. downphoenix (Posts: 2415; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
I know HP hasn't been doing as well as it could be doing, but wall street analysts are no more reliable than snake oil salesmen. Actual value or revenue of a company is not nearly as relevent as fear and speculation when it comes to stock markets.

The Lobster Chronicles : After seventeen years at sea, Linda Greenlaw decided it was time to take a break from being a swordboat captain, the career that earned her a prominent role in Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm and a portrayal in the subsequent film. She felt she needed to return home, to a tiny island seven miles off the Main coast with a population of seventy year-round residents, thirty of whom were her relatives. She would pursue a simpler life; move back in with her parents; become a professional lobsterman; and find a man and settle down. But almost none of this works out as planned, and soon she is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about life, luck, and lobsters. In this hilarious and moving true story, Greenlaw reveals her keen eye for the dramas of small-town life, as well as her talent for fascinating nautical description.

I know what you mean about feeling like everyone is already having their babies! And, it's not even May yet... yikes!
I am still pregnant, but I am definitely ready for her to be here any time she wants to come now. Especially when I'm here at work - just counting the minutes until another day goes by that will bring us closer to meeting her.
BFP #1 – 4/14/12 – EDD 12/16/12 - ectopic pregnancy – MTX 5/11/12
BFP #2 – 9/2/12 – EDD 5/17/13 - our sweet rainbow DD born 5/23/13
BFP#3 – 1/5/14 – EDD 9/12/14 – natural m/c 2/16/14
BFP #4 - 8/11/14 - EDD 4/24/15 - please stay, little BOY!
botanicalbliss:Me! I'm due at the end of the month, so I imagine I'll be pregnant for a looooooong time still.
Yep, 26 days for me. I have feeling I will be overdue
I am still here, and have absolutely nothing going on. Not one contraction, no mucous plug, no dilation, no nothing. So I am either going to spontaneously go into labor at some point, or I'll be here until my RCS on the 24th if I don't go on my own.
But, I still have 2-3 weeks to go on my own, so let's pray that happens.

January 15, 2013 in Design Dilemma
Does this kitchen have enough room between island and counter tops? I am thinking of moving the cooktop off the island & refregerator. I am considereing range with double ovens instead of cooktop and double ovens. Any suggestions are appreciated.
6 feet is actually too much distance in between. Aim to have no more than 4'-6" of circulation space. The location of the fridge on the right photo seems to be competing with main thoroughfare to other parts of the house.

The surprise thing about A Sound of Thunder, the sci-fi thriller based on the Ray Bradbury short story about time travel, is the quality of acting. Ed Burns, Catherine McCormack and Ben Kingsley aren't aiming for Oscars, or even accolades, with their performances, but their choices make this over-budgeted B-movie fun to watch.
Burns and McCormack, the dashing scientists who (it won't ruin the story) save the world from imminent disaster, deliver their lines with a studied lack of irony, without so much as a wink at the camera. They battle the film's various beasts with the same let's-do-this! gusto they bring to restoring critical hard drives, rarely pausing to exercise the action hero's prerogative for jaunty banter. Moviegoers haven't seen such earnest adventurers since Claude Rains and Michael Rennie explored The Lost World.
Then there's Sir Ben as the uxorious owner of Time Safari, Inc. Outfitted with a white pompadour and poufy pinstripe suit, Kingsley seems to be channeling Zachery Smith of Lost in Space as he fawns over his clueless clients, all willing to pay exorbitant sums to bag a 65-million-year-old allosaurus.
Director and cinematographer Peter Hyams appears to have had the good sense (or natural inclination) to concentrate on CGI rather than meddle too much with the cast. So what if the actors take contradictory approaches to the material? The combination of creep and camp gives Thunder a certain frisson even as it prevents the filmmakers from taking themselves too seriously.
As for the CGI, it's ambitious but uneven. Thunder jumps straightaway into the Cretaceous, opening with Burns leading a shooting expedition into a primordial tar pit. The Discovery Channel offers more convincing dinos, but visual-effects supervisor Tim McGovern and production designer Richard Holland maintain a hothouse ambience that gives the film its prehistoric mood. Chicago, where the action takes place in the year 2055, feels a bit fossilized, although the tank-like taxis that navigate the Windy City would be a welcome improvement on the standard yellow cab.
Predictably, time travel mucks everything up, initiating a series of cybernetic tsunamis that introduce toxic hybrids into the modern world. Gigantic trees sprout through the roofs of buildings, murderous vines spear passersby with poisonous tentacles, hyperactive beetles swarm penthouse apartments.
But there's worse. Howling dragon-baboons patrol city parks in search of warm-blooded snacks, razor-toothed eels slither through the flooded subways, pterodactyl-size bats swoop down from the skies...not to mention the craven bureaucrats who refuse to allow our intrepid scientists to reactivate the quarantined time machine in order to reverse all this errant evolution.
The premise of Thunder is familiar: The slightest gesture-the famous flutter of a butterfly's wing-can have momentous repercussions at a time and place far removed from the insignificant act. Everything's connected, so people would be wise to respect life's rich tapestry. The filmmakers don't get bogged down in metaphysics, however. They barely bother with plausibility or continuity. No matter. Thunder aspires to be nothing more than what it is, an old-fashioned matinee monster movie. Save the science for The Day After Tomorrow.

On Fridays, I post some of the more interesting articles I've come across throughout the week to help you keep current on what's happening in the the church, both in America and abroad. I also post up some fun things that I come across. I post these up to inform and get you thinking, not because I endorse the content.
What's Going On In India
Did you know that Mars Hill supports 23 church planters in India?
Since 1996, we've partnered with Vision Nationals to spread the gospel in India. At present, Mars Hill Global funds all of the organization's church-planting efforts in the Khammam and Guntur districts—53 churches in all. The following is a quick visual tour of the amazing things God is doing in and through these congregations.
Chaplains Comfort Wildfire Victims
Depending on whether you see the glass as half empty or half full, the High Park wildfires near Fort Collins, Colo., as of Tuesday, are either 55 percent contained, or 45 percent non-contained.
For homeowners in this community north of Denver, it's more like half empty. Especially after the fires were 60 percent contained last week. "The unknown is what's most difficult," said Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplain Jim Giannestras. "Most of them don't know if their houses are standing."
Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches to Grapple With Same-Sex Marriage, Gay Ordination
Two Protestant denominations, The Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), will be debating gay marriage issues in the upcoming week, and any decisions made may have far-reaching consequences.
The Protestant groups share a similar story, as each has around 1.9 million members in America and has been experiencing divisions over the ordination of homosexual clergy and the acceptance of same-sex unions. Congregations have split over the issues, with some insisting that the church should become more gay-affirming, while others have held firm to the traditional definition of marriage.
Woman sues Little Leaguer who threw ball that hit her in face
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a Little League game is suing the young catcher who threw it.
Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages to cover medical costs stemming from the incident at a Manchester Little League game two years ago. She's also seeking an undefined amount for pain and suffering. Lloyd was sitting at a picnic table near a fenced-in bullpen when she was hit with the ball.
And just for fun
You are about to witness the crème de la crème of backyard waterslides, folks.

As municipal Wi-Fi networks begin to roll out, I've begun to notice a trend that isn't surprising, but is still a bit worrisome. Business users are beginning to use the muni Wi-Fi in the office. While the signal doesn't often penetrate too deeply into buildings, conference rooms and window offices seem to get a sufficient signal in many cases. The problem is that I see people using the muni Wi-Fi signal instead of the office IT-supported network. Sometimes they just use it because it's more convenient. The office IT network is "secure" and requires extra work, such as entering keys or using a VPN. Sometimes they do it because they explicitly want to avoid the local IT policy controls (access to restricted sites, use of restricted applications, etc.)
So, why is this a problem? First, it exposes the user's computer to the Internet without the normal protection of the office IT security safeguards (like a firewall). While it's quite possible to secure the computer sufficiently on its own, it's all too common for such computers to be lightly secured and then just rely on the network infrastructure. Now, when that computer is exposed on its own, it's at risk of being targeted by remote attackers, malware, etc. At a minimum the exposed computer can be compromised. Worse, it can carry something malicious back into the business network when the user reconnects locally. A second type of risk is present if the user is simultaneously connected to both the muni Wi-Fi and the local wired network. Depending on how the networks are configured, it is possible for them to be "bridged" (connected). This could allow a remote attacker to enter the local office network through the unsecured wireless interface and gain access to the internal network resources. While gaining such access through the "front door" might normally be very hard for an attacker, using such a "back door" is likely to be much easier.
So, what to do? First, IT departments should develop and implement a clear policy about using "Mu-Fi" networks (preferably banning their use outright). Ideally, they could enforce this ban, but that's fairly difficult. Most operating systems don't include such a capability though there are some third-party applications available that can provide it. Second, the IT departments should secure all of their computers (laptops, desktops, servers, etc.) so that they can be sufficiently "secure," even when outside the network. The use of local firewalls, antivirus, and intrusion prevention is good practice because laptops may roam on other networks when outside the office. Finally, there should always be policies governing (banning) the circumvention of network controls and bridging.

A 28-year-old Milwaukee woman was riding the bus and on her phone when it was allegedly snatched from her hand by a 14-year-old Milwaukee boy who was getting off the bus.
She wasn't going to let her phone go so easily and bolted after him.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The boy had four of his friends try to block her from getting off with the alleged thief at the intersection of Mayfair Road and West Burleigh Street at 5:48 p.m. Saturday, but she rushed past them, chasing him and flagging down officers at the same time.
The four gave her phone back. The alleged thief was nowhere to be found until police dog Addy tracked him down.
The boy was arrested and admitted to stealing the phone.

Crime expert: Scene where dead girl found was staged
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter January 16, 2014 6:43PM
Mya Marie Lyons
Updated: February 18, 2014 6:35AM
The grassy South Side lot where Richard Lyons claimed he discovered his badly beaten daughter's body was a "staged" display that falsely tried to convey that a deadly attack took place there, a renowned crime scene specialist testified in Lyons' murder trial Thursday.
Based on the blood patterns uncovered in Lyons' Chevy van, Mya Lyons, 9, was stabbed inside the vehicle while she was in between her attacker's legs and up against his or her chest, Rod Englert said.
And the spattered substance that appears to be blood on Lyons' shoes the night of the July 14, 2008 murder indicates that he was near when Mya was penetrated with a sharp object, Englert said.
Lyons told police he found Mya in the lot after she abruptly ran away from his house in the 8400 block of South Gilbert Court.
"There were no bloody footprints, no evidence of a struggle … It was a staged scene," Englert concluded, bolstering Cook County prosecutors' theory that the child was placed in the lot after she was asphyxiated and stabbed.
It was Englert's findings that led to Lyons' arrest 2½ years after Mya's murder.
Englert, who used fake blood to show jurors different ways droplets land on surfaces, said the State's Attorney's Office paid his firm $80,000 for his expertise.
During cross examination, Assistant Public Defender Christopher Anderson asked Englert to repeat his salary for the case and pointed out that Englert was going on the assumption that dark spots on Lyons' shoes were blood.
After prosecutors presented Englert — their final witness — defense attorneys also rested without calling anybody to the stand Thursday. "I do not wish to testify," Lyons, 45, told Judge Vincent Gaughan.
Lawyers are expected to present their closing arguments Friday morning.

Downing Conn. College for the second time this season, this time by a solid 8-1 count during the Yale Round Robin Sat., Jan. 14 to open the second semester action, the Cardinals, ranked #20 nationally, improved their record to 9-4 this year. Conn. College is ranked #23.
At #4, Grace Zimmerman '13 (main photo) was one of seven Cardinals to sweep her Camel rival as she yielded a team-low 11 points in her three games. At #6, Danielle Craig '13 (photo insert upper left) allowed just 14 points during her 3-0 sweep. Also winning in three games were #1 Mary Foster '14, #3 Annie Maxwell '15, #5 Tanesha Jackson '13, #7 Kar-Anne Tan '14 and #8 Hannah Jenkins '15. The Cardinals' eighth victory vs. Conn came at #2 where Lauren Nelson '15 won, 3-2.
Wesleyan had a very exciting trip on Wed., Jan. 18 as the Cardinals ventured to Bowdoin to take on both the Polar Bears and the Mules of Colby. Bowdoin is ranked just ahead of Wesleyan, holding the 19th spot while Colby is not far behind at #22 in a tightly packed conference grouping. Seven NESCAC squads are ranked between #15 and #23. Wesleyan dropped a 5-4 decision to Bowdoin while downing Colby, 5-4, earlier this season.
During this more recent trip, Wesleyan again conquered Colby, 5-4, but fell to Bowdoin, 8-1. Four of the squad's losses to Bowdoin came by a 3-2 count, including those by Zimmerman, Jackson and Tan, each of whom downed their Mule rival by a 3-0 score to lead the way to victory. Two other defeats to Bowdoin were by a 3-1 score as the match truly was much tighter than the final team score would indicate. Foster accounted for the lone Wesleyan win over Bowdoin with a 3-0 decision.
Up next for the team was the Pioneer Valley Invitational in central Mass. over the weekend. On Sat., Jan. 21, the Cards took on Hamilton and Yale. Matches on Sun., Jan. 22 feature F&M and Columbia as the opponents. Yale is #2 in the country while Columbia (#16), F&M (#17) and Hamilton (#18) loom as prime targets.
While six Cardinals took at least one game from their Hamilton rival, the Continentals captured the match by an 8-1 count. Yale swept past Wesleyan, 9-0, without dropping a game. Tan was a 3-1 victor vs. the Continentals. The match with F&M went to the Diplomats, 9-0, while the match with Columbia was cancelled as the Lions chose not to attend the tournament due to weather issues.
Ahead for the Cardinals was the annual Little Three competiton, hosted by Wesleyan Sat., Jan. 28. While no Cardinal defeated her Williams rival as the Ephs prevailed, 9-0, Foster was a 3-1 victor against Amherst as the lone Cardinal winner in an 8-1 setback. Nelson, Zimmerman, #6 Nell Schwed '14, and Jenkins all took a game from their Amherst counterpart while Jackson pushed her opponent to five games in a very competitive outing.
Next up for the squad is the annual NESCAC Championship, whch begins Fri., Feb. 3 at Trinity. The top eight teams continue in the main bracket at Trinity Sat. and Sun., Feb. 4-5. The bottom three squads head to Wesleyan to play consolation matches Sat., Feb. 4.

To me the difference between cussing and putting a curse is when you curse it is liberating and a form of letting out your frustration you normally say what you have to say and forget about it. Such as a middle finger when driving in traffic.
However. when you want to place a curse on someone you speak evil words that are not cuss words over the person and it includes a form of stalking and harassing usually it is to the person destruction mentally , psychologically and physically so that the speaker or encourager of the speakers gain something usually it is monetarily or they have a personal vendetta against the person and want everyone else to join in.

"When David does my makeup, I never look in the mirror until he's done because I trust him more than anything. David keeps it real. He allows and supports my visions and pushes the envelope. He's never scared to try an 'out there' look, but he's also great at keeping my makeup natural too, like in my OP campaign."
