In late November 1982, Cheers threw a show, and nobody came. Since its premiere two months earlier, NBC's new comedy about the denizens of a Boston beer joint had been languishing in the Nielsens. In its 9 p.m. Thursday time slot, the show was being routinely clobbered by CBS' Simon & Simon and ABC's Too Close for Comfort. That week, the news was even worse. Cheers had finished dead last 68th out of 68 prime-time shows. The series' theme song, ''Where Everybody Knows Your Name,'' fared no better; released as a single, it topped out at No. 83 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
''We were terrified and despondent,'' recalls Les Charles, who had spent a year creating Cheers with his brother, Glen, and director James Burrows. ''We had a funny show, and we couldn't get anyone to watch there was a great deal of prejudice simply because it was set in a bar.'' ''Luckily,'' adds his brother, ''NBC was the lowest-rated network. Beggars can't be choosers.'' The abysmal ratings were for a comedy that many critics had called the season's best although The New York Times' John J. O'Connor groused, ''Obviously, Cheers will not win many awards for originality.''
Twenty-two Emmys, eight seasons, and 200 episodes later, Cheers has survived long odds, cast defections, and competition ranging from Ted Knight to Twin Peaks to become America's favorite watering hole a neighborhood bar for a neighborhood of 35 million people. On Nov. 8, the show that barely survived its first season will celebrate its bicentennial with an episode in which pundit John McLaughlin conducts a mock Q-and-A session with the show's regulars a lovable, complicated, perfectly tuned ensemble of indelible comic characters. Next spring, when the Nielsens for its ninth season are tallied, Cheers could well be the No. 1 series of the year. That would be a first for the show (though it has finished in the top five for the last five seasons).
It could all have been so different, if everything had gone according to plan. For one thing, Sam Malone wasn't supposed to be a former relief pitcher at all, but an ex-football player. And he wasn't supposed to be a smart dope, just a dope. For a while, he wasn't even supposed to be Ted Danson. According to Cheers lore, Fred Dryer (Hunter) and Julia Duffy (Newhart) came very close to grabbing the roles of Sam and Diane, and igniting the relationship that sparked the show's first five years. (William Devane and Lisa Eichhorn were also in the running.) It was Danson's chemistry with Shelley Long during an audition for NBC executives that convinced the Cheers team that they had found the perfect pair.
''Shelley was Diane the minute she walked in the room,'' recalls Glen Charles. ''Ted was not the Stanley Kowalski we were looking for, but he brought a dimension to Sam we hadn't anticipated a feeling that he was pretending to be dumber than he was just to make Diane miserable.''
Danson tells a different story. ''I had no glimmering of how to play the character whatsoever,'' he says, laughing. ''Here was a guy who was an alcoholic relief pitcher do you know the kind of arrogance that takes? I don't think I had the requisite disrespect you need to play this part until about the third or fourth year.''
The rest of the ensemble evolved throughout the first year. Acid-tongued waitress Carla (Rhea Perlman) and bar-bellied accountant Norm (George Wendt) were in from the start. Another Cheers Customer an old, cranky, wheelchair-bound woman who spouted political invective was dropped from the show before the first episode aired. Conversely, John Ratzenberger's Cliff, the postman with a mailbag full of irritating factoids, was a happy accident. ''Ratzenberger brought that blowhard character to us,'' says Burrows. Originally signed for a few episodes, he became an official regular in the second season. (Some Cheers writers now keep trivia books handy as sources of Cliff-style useless knowledge.)
By Cheers' second year, the show's popularity was growing. When Sam and Diane began to date during the 1983-84 season, the program jumped to 41st in the Nielsens; the next year, when the unhappy couple came apart and Diane's Jung lover Frasier Crane was introduced, it moved up to 13th.
At the same time, Cheers was undergoing backstage turmoil. The illness of Nicholas Colasanto, who played the benevolent Coach, and the near-simultaneous real-life pregnancies of Long and Perlman necessitated frantic replotting. Perlman's was no problem: Carla simply became pregnant with her sixth of eight (so far) kids. But according to Glen Charles, Long's motherhood was almost written into the series as well. Various scenarios had Diane expecting a baby by Frasier, by Sam, even by a sperm donor. ''None of those possibilities seemed happy,'' says Charles. ''In the end, we tried to cover it, and in having her always behind the bar or carrying a tray, we ended up running for our lives.''
But Cheers has survived primarily by turning every crisis to its advantage. When Colasanto died in 1985, Woody Harrelson was brought in as Woody Boyd. The goofy uncle that had been Coach was transformed into a goofy nephew, and every relationship in the bar was freshened. ''I'd just turned 24,'' says Harrelson, ''and I was inordinately nervous. I remember standing behind that Cheers door shaking, waiting to come into the bar for the first time, and then the energy of the show took over.'' And when Long left in 1987 for a film career, conventional wisdom held that her departure would spell the end. ''Whenever the show had been in trouble, we took Sam and Diane into the office and had a great scene,'' recalls co-executive producer Cheri Eichen. ''Now, we'd be making our way in the dark.'' But then Cheers brought in Kirstie Alley as bar manager and corporate climber Rebecca Howe, and the entire series was reinvigorated.
''Our idea was to make Rebecca a sexy villainess,'' says Glen Charles. ''But Kirstie was so nervous the first few weeks that we thought, why not use all those little neurotic tinges beneath the self-containment? We used her comedic talents more than we ever thought we would.''
''It was nerve-racking,'' says Alley, recalling her first week on the set. ''They had all created a great series, and I didn't particularly want to be the cause of its demise. The biggest thing that I had to learn was to take my timing from the audience. At the beginning, I would talk right through the laughs, which looked pretty hokey.'' Alley's onstage jitters eventually made their way into the scripts, and Rebecca's character. ''Basically, I'm just clumsy,'' she says, laughing. ''I would run into doors and trip in real life, and they would write it in.''
Since Alley's arrival, the Cheers ensemble has expanded to include psychiatrist Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) and corporate raider Robin Colcord (Roger Rees). ''It's terribly frightening to come into such an established group,'' says Rees, who's in his second season as Robin. ''But when I started, Kirstie took me aside and told me she was going to give me a piece of advice that someone had given her when she started. 'Wear a blond wig,' she said, 'and act as much like Shelley Long as possible.' That made everything easier.''
Cheers' 200th segment will recap some of the highlights from the last eight years, but there won't be room enough to relive all of the show's best moments. The preceding 199 episodes have provided a gallery of great shows, scenes, jokes, and customers. Here are some of the most notable.
All-star guest stars:
Former House Speaker Tip O'Neill, Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn, and Admiral William Crowe have all crossed the Cheers threshold. Robert Urich showed up playing himself, John Cleese won an Emmy as Sam and Diane's utterly baffled therapist, and former Senator Gary Hart (as himself) and Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn (as a Tortelli in-law) also made appearances though not, sadly, in the same episode. And Dryer and Duffy may never have gotten to play Sam and Diane, but they were rewarded with consolation roles. Dryer appeared a few times as a sportscaster buddy of Sam's, and Duffy showed up in one episode as Diane's friend, who was, oddly enough, named Rebecca.
Best Norm-and-Cliff exchange:
According to Les Charles, it goes something like this:
Norm (at the bar): My shorts are riding up.
Cliff: Why don't you stand up and straighten them out?
Norm: Nah, I'll give them five minutes. Sometimes they self-adjust.
Best Malone maneuver:
It came last season during Rebecca's sex dream about Sam. She collapses on the couch, he stands over her in triumph, reaches for his belt buckle and can't seem to get his trousers off. ''For some reason,'' says Danson, ''I truly made myself laugh trying to get my pants open with a fireplace poker.''
Most popular running gags:
''Jokes about Sam's hair are always good, although we try not to do too many in a row,'' says co-executive producer Bill Steinkellner. ''We love Norm-drinking-beer jokes too. We used to have jokes about Woody's relatives being maimed. That was funny for a while, but I think we've run that comedy mine dry.''
Favorite Norm one-liner:
George Wendt picks an episode in which Sam asks, ''How's life out there?'' and Norm responds, ''It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear.''
Least memorable character:
Sam's ex-wife, Debra. You say you didn't know Sam had an ex-wife? Actress Donna McKechnie showed up to play the role in Cheers' second episode, but Debra hasn't been seen or discussed much in the 198 since.
Funniest shows:
Danson picks the one in which Sam and Diane tried to outdo each other by finding the perfect dates, and Diane ended up with a paroled killer. Surprisingly, Wendt says he's ''not a big fan of the episodes about Norm.'' His choices for classics are two early episodes: one in which Coach's daughter (Allyce Beasley) visits, and one in which Diane loudly mourns the passing of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (her cat). Steinkellner cites a Thanksgiving dinner at Carla's that ended in (surprise) a hail of thrown food, and Perlman picks the segment when Carla and Sam attend the wedding of her loutish ex, Nick Tortelli. Alley's favorite: ''I like the show where Robin gives me a diamond bracelet and I'm acting like it's some revolting bribe. And then, suddenly, I decide to take it.''
Sentimental favorites:
Writers and actors alike point to Sam and Diane's first kiss (off-camera, at the end of season one) and their last embrace, a goodbye dance that concluded Cheers' fifth season and Long's run on the show. Last season's two-parter in which Rebecca slept with Robin Colcord also comes in for high praise. ''It was a great show for Kirstie,'' says co-executive producer Phoef Sutton. ''She was very funny and even moving.''
Favorite jokes:
The teasers that open each show are the ''hardest to write, and most rewarding,'' Eichen says. ''Sometimes you don't even need any dialogue.'' One classic example: a wordless sequence in which Sam, Woody, Cliff, and Norm come to visit Carla's newborn twins in the hospital, and end up bonding with other, cuter babies.
Favorite off-camera moments:
According to Perlman, the Thanksgiving food fight was even more enjoyable off-screen. ''I loved it,'' she says. ''By the end of that scene, which went on much longer than it did on the show, we were sliding around in slop and having so much fun we didn't even care.''
With its popularity still growing, Cheers' final episode seems far in the future; when it arrives, it will probably result from a consensus among the cast and creative team that it's time to call it quits. Don't count on that happening anytime soon. Danson told ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY that he'll definitely stay through the 10th season, which will end in May 1992. The rest of the cast is likely to follow.
And beyond that? ''I was talking with George and Rhea and John the other day,'' says Woody Harrelson, ''and they were saying that the bar is really the essential element. You could probably introduce the progeny of various characters and run the thing for 20 years.'' Cheers: The Next Generation? ''I'm not so sure about that,'' he says. ''But we'll probably be around for a while.''

A - Thanks for the question. It depends on how we define frustration. If frustration is an emotion which comes from some external opposition, then we could say that Jesus did get frustrated.
One principle that might help is to understand that emotions, in and of themselves, are not either morally good or bad. They are morally neutral. It is our reaction to them that is either good or bad.
The Catechism says:
1768 Strong feelings are not decisive for the morality or the holiness of persons; they are simply the inexhaustible reservoir of images and affections in which the moral life is expressed. Passions are morally good when they contribute to a good action, evil in the opposite case. the upright will orders the movements of the senses it appropriates to the good and to beatitude; an evil will succumbs to disordered passions and exacerbates them. Emotions and feelings can be taken up into the virtues or perverted by the vices.The classic case of seeing Jesus respond to a situation emotionally (yet still morally justified) is in the Temple when He overturns the money changers tables:
I would expect that Jesus was frustrated, angry, and upset by his Father's temple becoming a place of lies, theft, and dishonesty. This is a righteous anger and no sin is committed. In fact, to allow injustice to flourish without fighting against it is the sin here - not the feelings of frustration or anger.
Matt 21: 12-13
Sometimes we have an understanding of Jesus as too sugary-sweet. As if He skips around with flowers, singing that he would like to buy the world a Coke and world peace. This isn't the case. Christ fought for His justice not just for mercy.
Was Jesus kind? Absolutely. Was Jesus nice? Not all the time - because "nice people" don't get crucified.
"Be angry, and sin not." -Eph 4:26I hope this helps.

Historical Traveller Reviews of The Alexander Hotel
A very nice, centrally located hotelfrom suitcasegurl
Wonderful hotelfrom Friday13
I would love to return to this hotel and see a lot more of Dublin.
Very Nice Hotelfrom travelbug84
The room was very nice and spacious, although I expected it to be decorated slightly more modern than it was, like the reception (which was very nice and modern). I would have preferred a different interior than three telephones in the room!
We did not eat at the hotel, but noticed that the prices of various breakfasts were quite expensive. There are plenty of cafes down the road which offer cooked breakfasts and pastries at much more reasonable prices - Sorrento Cafe on Leinster Street is highly recommended.
Overall, I had an enjoyable stay, and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone else visiting Dublin.
Good but not luxuryfrom Sunny78
This hotel is a good base as it's just a 10min walk or so to the main attractions, plus it does offer a comfortable quiet nights sleep. But please don't expect opulent luxury as some of the reviews suggest.
Whilst the staff were quick and efficient on check-in and check-out they weren't particulary friendly nor demonstrated above standard customer service skills. We didn't eat in the hotel so cannot comment on the food, however a good service was provided in the bar.
To sum it up a good, clean & quiet hotel in a central(ish) location, but if you are looking for something 'special' or luxurious with 4* qualities book elsewhere. But as a comfortable central affordable base I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that people stay here.
Nice Placefrom cham3b
I like itfrom A TripAdvisor Member
My complaints that stop me from giving this review top marks are:
1. The misleading address - it is not right on Merrion Sq, and as I missed the small signpost I wound up walking right around the square with a very heavy backpack, and I didn't get very clear directions when I rang for assistance, but I eventually arrived....
2. No fridge in the room
3. No laundry (except a very expensive laundry service) and the concierge had no idea on where to find one nearby
4. I called for room service during room service hours, there was no answer and I got transferred to a completely different hotel!! I gave up...
Other than that I had a very pleasant stay.
Lovely clean, central hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from Graftan Street and about 10-15 minutes walk from the Temple Bar area and Stephen's Green. The location was great and although you are relatively central you are not right in the busy area and therefore is quiet at night.
I would definetely recommend this hotel to anyone and I plan to visit it again in the not to distant future.
Definitely a very nice 4 star hotelfrom Mike_N_Atlanta
Great location - across the street from Merrion Park, a block to Trinity College, a couple blocks to St. Stephens Green, and about a 5-10 minute walk to Temple Bar. Area is very quiet at night, some traffic during the day although its not as bad there as it is closer to Temple Bar and the Quays (Dublin is jammed with traffic). Self parking in a secure garage a block down the street is free, valet is also available for 10 Euros.
Cons: Missing a mini-bar in the room, a decent fan in the bathroom and top notch furnishings. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars are the mattresses. They were comfortable and I slept like a rock, but they were not particularily new and seemed to have a bit of an indentation toward the middle. The furniture is also pretty standard, but I'm not picky about that. Breakfast is optional and not outstanding, the scrambled eggs smelled funny that morning. Unless you're a big eater its overpiced at 13.5 Euro.
Summary: Definitely worth it for up to about 170 Euro a night, depending on the dates you stay. After that, you may want to shop around and compare. Internet saver fares (prepay only) on the O'Callaghan website of Euro 110 are a steal if available. Skip breakfast and hit a nearby cafe if you have the time.
Compares favorably with The Davenport across the street and run by the same company. The main difference being that the Alexander has a more impressive lobby, bar and common areas, and slightly larger rooms.
Alexander Hotel a solid choice despite a few quibbles.from A TripAdvisor Member
Excellent hotel, excellent locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Top Local Tips for Dublin
Guinness Storehouse - not worth it Not worth visiting the Guinness Storehouse unless you are interested in the history and how it is made. You are herded through all of the exhibits because of the way the building is designed (self-guide tour). Ends with a pint in a very crowded bar at the top where you have to wait ages to be served and there are not enough seats anyway. Expected more opportunities to taste the different types of Guinness but only had one taster and then at the top you had no choice of what you wanted. Great view of Dublin though.
Temple Bar Pop into Temple Bar for a drink or two, but don't bother with a meal. Its very hectic during the evenings/weekends and it is definetly overpriced for the food you get. There are some excellent restaurants only a street or two away with a less hefty price tag serving more authentic food in more relaxed surroundings. The number 16 bus takes you straight from Dublin Airport to the city centre for 1.9 euros, compared to the Airlink Bus which is 7 euros. Plus if you want to visit the Guinness Storehouse, go very early in the day, by 11.30am people are queueing up the street to get in!

High school students can commit to driver safety and win prizes for their school like a $25,000 grant, $100,000 grant or a grand prize of a concert from The Band Perry.
Celebrate My Drive is a program celebrating the freedom that comes with a driver's license and making smart choices behind the wheel. They spread the message of 2N2® – 2 eyes on the road, 2 hands on the wheel. It's a simple habit that can reduce distracted driving and help new drivers build confidence on the road. Register your school by October 7th to enter the contest, then between Oct. 15 and Oct. 24 encourage students to commit to safe driving (full rules here). Schools with the most students committing could win one of 90 $25k grants, one of 10 $100k grants, or one of two grand prize concerts.
Complete information can be found at the contest website.
In an effort to reduce fatal accidents involving teen drivers, the leading cause of death for their age group, new phone apps allow parents to monitor and even limit teen phone and texting while driving. Other devices are installed directly in the car itself to record and grade a teen driver's performance.
School's out for summer, and teens have places to go. Whether heading to a friend's house, commuting to work, or preparing for school in the fall, many young drivers need (or at least want) their own car.

Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) -- Jurors in the George Zimmerman trial are heading into their weekend with a lot of courtroom drama and conflicting testimony to digest.
Friday's action-packed session saw the prosecution rest its case, and the judge reject a defense request to acquit Zimmerman of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year.
The mothers of both Martin and Zimmerman listened to the same 911 recording of someone screaming for help, and each said she was convinced the voice was that of her own son.
The question of whose voice is on the recording could be crucial to the jury in deciding who was the aggressor in the confrontation between the neighborhood watch volunteer and the teenager.
"I heard my son screaming," Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said firmly after she was played a recording in which distant, high-pitched wails could be heard in the background as a Zimmerman neighbor asked a dispatcher to send police. Moments later on the call, there was a gunshot and the crying stopped.
Gladys Zimmerman, though, testified she recognized the voice all too well: "My son." Asked how she could be certain, she said: "Because it's my son."
Martin's half brother, 22-year-old Jahvaris Fulton, testified that the cries came from the teen. And Zimmerman's uncle, Jose Meza, said he knew it was Zimmerman's voice from "the moment I heard it. ... I thought, that is George."
After Friday's session was over, defense attorney Mark O'Mara told reporters "there will be a lot of other witnesses" who will testify that the voice on the call is George Zimmerman's.
"But we'll just present the case," he said. "We're just getting started."
Gladys Zimmerman was the defense's first witness. O'Mara said he expects to call "several" of the state's 38 witnesses back as well when trial resumes Monday, and he left open the possibility that he would try to introduce toxicology evidence showing Martin had marijuana in his system at the time he died. Judge Debra Nelson has denied the admission of that evidence for the time being.
O'Mara may also call witnesses who he says have stated that Zimmerman was not a racist. Part of the prosecution's theory is that Zimmerman profiled Martin as one of the young black men he'd called law enforcement about as being possible suspects in burglaries in his townhome community weeks prior to the shooting.
O'Mara said he could rest his case as soon as next week.
Immediately after the state rested Friday, he asked Nelson to acquit Zimmerman, arguing that the prosecution had failed to prove its case.
O'Mara said an "enormous" amount of evidence showed that Zimmerman acted in self-defense, and he argued that Zimmerman had reasonable grounds to believe he was in danger, and acted without the "ill will, hatred and spite" necessary to prove second-degree murder.
But prosecutor Richard Mantei countered: "There are two people involved here. One of them is dead, and one of them is a liar."
Mantei told the judge that Zimmerman had changed his story, that his account of how he shot Martin was "a physical impossibility," and that he exaggerated his wounds.
After listening to an hour and a half of arguments from both sides, Nelson refused to throw out the murder charge, saying the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence for the case to go on.
Earlier in the day, Sybrina Fulton introduced herself to the jury by describing herself as having two sons, one of whom "is in heaven." She sat expressionless on the witness stand while prosecutors played the 911 recording.
"Who do you recognize that to be?" prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked her.
"Trayvon Benjamin Martin," she replied.
During cross-examination, O'Mara suggested -- haltingly, in apparent recognition of the sensitivity of the questioning -- that Fulton may have been influenced by others who listened to the 911 call, including relatives and her former husband.
O'Mara asked Fulton hypothetically whether she would have to accept that it was Zimmerman yelling for help if the screams did not come from her son. He also asked Fulton whether she hoped Martin didn't do anything that led to his death.
"I would hope for this to never have happened and he would still be here," she said.
O'Mara asked Jahvaris Fulton why he told a reporter last year that he wasn't sure if the voice belonged to Martin. Jahvaris Fulton explained that he was "shocked" when he heard it.
"I didn't want to believe it was him," he said.

Over Long Haul, Money Doesn't Buy Happiness
A new collaborative paper by economist and University Professor Richard Easterlin — namesake of the Easterlin Paradox and founder of the field of happiness studies — offers the broadest range of evidence to date demonstrating that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in a greater increase of happiness.
Across a worldwide sample of 37 countries, rich and poor, ex-Communist and capitalist, Easterlin and his co-authors show strikingly consistent results: Over the long term, a sense of well-being within a country does not go up with income.
In contrast to shorter-term studies that have shown a correlation between income growth and happiness, this paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined the happiness and income relationship in each country for an average of 22 years and at least 10 years.
"This article rebuts recent claims that there is a positive long-term relationship between happiness and income, when in fact, the relationship is nil," explained Easterlin, professor of economics in USC College.
Easterlin and a team of USC researchers spent five years reassessing the Easterlin Paradox, a key economic concept introduced by Easterlin in the seminal 1974 paper, "Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot? Some Empirical Evidence."
"Simply stated, the happiness-income paradox is this: At a point in time both among and within countries, happiness and income are positively correlated. But, over time, happiness does not increase when a country's income increases," said Easterlin, whose influence has created an entire subfield of economic inquiry.
With such wide-ranging influence, the Easterlin Paradox not surprisingly has been the target of critique and revision, which Easterlin addresses in the Proceedings of the National Academy paper.
In particular, Easterlin expands on findings from other researchers that show a positive relationship between life satisfaction and gross domestic product, demonstrating instead that they are the short-term effects of economic collapse and recovery, and do not hold up over the long term.
"With incomes rising so rapidly in [certain] countries, it seems extraordinary that no surveys register the marked improvement in subjective well-being that mainstream economists and policymakers worldwide expect to find," Easterlin said.
For examples, Easterlin points to Chile, China and South Korea, three countries in which per capita income has doubled in less than 20 years.
Yet over that period, both China and Chile showed mild, not statistically significant declines in life satisfaction. South Korea initially showed a mild, not statistically significant increase in the early 1980s. But in four surveys from 1990 to 2005, life satisfaction declined slightly.
"Where does this leave us? If economic growth is not the main route to greater happiness, what is?" Easterlin asked. "We may need to focus policy more directly on urgent personal concerns relating to things such as health and family life, rather than on the mere escalation of material goods."
In 2009, Easterlin was the winner of the prestigious IZA Prize in Labor Economics. Easterlin's next book, Happiness, Growth and the Life Cycle, will be published by Oxford University Press as part of the IZA Prize series.
Laura Angelescu McVey, Malgorzata Switek, Onnicha Sawangfa and Jacqueline Smith Zweig, all former or present graduate students at USC, were co-authors on the paper.

SRK, who has been named a Chubb Fellow, was accompanied by Nita Ambani and they were understood to have arrived in a private plane at the New York`s White Plain airport. Nita Ambani`s daughter is a student at Yale University. Sources told the press, while everybody else were cleared by the immigration immediately; SRK was stopped for over two hours before being cleared by the immigration officials.
SRK's plane landed in New York at 12:30pm but he didn't make it to Yale till 6pm. The extra grilling session also made him reach two hours late for his scheduled speech at the esteemed University.
When he finally did address the students at Yale, which is located around three hours drive from New York, SRK said: "We were detained at the airport as always. For one and a half hours. It was nice. It always happens when I come to America. Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself I take a trip to America." His bid for humour in this situation impressed his audience and held them captive all through the speech.
"Shah Rukh was very upset with this incident happening with him again. In order for the processed to be sped up, the Yale University officials had to contact the Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration and Customs Department at Washington, when they were made aware of this detention," sources said. However, this is not the first time Shah Rukh Khan has been stopped at an American airport. In 2009 also, he was stopped at the Newark airport and was released after a two hour grilling.
Shailaja Gupta, who is the USA head of SRK's production house Red Chillies Entertainment, said that he was expecting to be stopped this time as well and that he answered all questions with grace and patience. She also said that the airport officials recognised him but continued with the questioning.
Back home, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reacted on Twitter, saying: "Honestly what's the big deal?? This airport detention thing happens all the time & to all sorts of people. Get over it."

(Sweater, Leather Jacket, Leather Bag, Level 99 Jeans, Ankle Boots, Sunglasses)
This is the shortest my hair has been in years and it makes me wonder why I didn't chop it sooner.
Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon strolling around Cherry Creek. It is the best place for shopping in Denver. I wore a red leather jacket because whenever I do I feel a little like Michael Jackson. Underneath the jacket I am wearing a soft gray sweater. High waisted black skinny jeans, ankle boots, and my favorite bag finished off the look. I always leave some sunglasses in my car since it is sunny most days here. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.
These Giuseppe Zanotti shoes were a great sale snag over Christmas and you can remove the ankle strap so they become peep-toe leopard pumps.
Giuseppe Zanotti Leopard Platform Pumps
Tibi High Waisted Leather Shorts - Worn before here with T by Alexander Wang sweater and Prada pumps
Derek Lam Scuba Crew Neck Sweater
Jacquie Aiche Twisted Waif Ring
Scuba-inspired fashion is all the rage right now and there were lots of pieces I saw coming in from the spring collections. However, this sweater is the only item that really stood out to me in terms of the quality of the material and actual wearability. It is fitted and I like the seam detailing. The color will go with just about everything so you could wear this Derek Lam sweater pretty often and style it with other pieces in your closet. It feels great on your body and slightly thick, just like scuba gear. I paired it with my red leather shorts from Tibi. The contrast of the colors just seemed right at the time even though last time I wore these shorts I wore a similar colored sweater. Sometimes when things work it is good to just do them over again once in a while. Stick to your style and what looks good on you even if it might not seem different enough. Simple is usually always best and you'll end up looking sleek and put together.
Whenever I wear colors like these and I am not wearing any prints I like to pull out a pair of leopard print shoes. The attraction to leopard footwear has not died down at all. It especially goes up in the fall for some reason. These Giuseppe Zanotti shoes were a great sale snag over Christmas and you can remove the ankle strap so they become peep-toe leopard pumps. I was looking for a small, simple ring to wear and I found this one by Jacquie Aiche who also made that arrow cuff I wore a while back. I like how elegant this ring is and the fact that if you blink you can miss it.
There are so many athletic inspired pieces available to buy right now and I am not complaining. I love all the scuba tops I've been seeing so when I saw this sweater by Derek Lam in white I knew it would be perfect for spring. I paired it with my high-waisted red leather shorts, leopard ankle strap pumps, and a tiny gold ring. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.
These Derek Lam ankle boots are one of my favorite pairs of boots. They are functional for Denver winters and easy to slip on and off.
Tibi Slim Gemma Pants - Last seen here with Haute Hippie sweater and Alaia ruffle ankle boots
Jenni Kayne Cable Sweater - Worn before here with Cushnie et Ochs shirt, Joie shorts, and Camilla Skovgaard booties
Diane von Furstenberg Mikhaila Cropped Jacket - Worn before here with Simone shorts and Givenchy ankle boots
Derek Lam Cassandre Lace Up Clog Booties - Worn before here with 3.1 Phillip Lim quilted leather shorts
Madewell Ribbed Trouser Socks - Last seen here with Elizabeth and James skirt and Mike & Christ leather jacket
Chanel Pearl Sunglasses - Last seen here with Stone Cold Fox shorts, Anna Molinari cardigan, and Dior platform wedges
I bet you thought you would never see me outdoors again. The sad truth is that since my boyfriend and I both work it is always dark by the time we are able to shoot photos for Fashion Snag so we have to take photos indoors. I like both styles, but I think I prefer the outdoor scenery a little bit more. You never really know what the photos will look like and the Colorado sky and horizon looks so beautiful. We had the day off when these photos were taken, but I still had to run some errands. I went to the bank and wandered around some shops wearing this outfit. All the pieces are ones that I've worn in the past so you can see how I styled them the last time I wore them. There is a tendency as a fashion blogger to always want the newest items, but it is important to choose pieces that flatter you and make you feel good. Pay attention to how you feel in the clothing instead of going after what everyone else is wearing. Invest in quality fabrics and then wear them in different ways. Also, always buy the items you are absolutely in love with and never buy an item just because it is on sale.
This sweater is very plush and made from merino wool. It is cropped so it goes well with a lot of my higher waisted items. I know I will want to wear it again and again because it is soft against my skin. I paired it with these Tibi pants. I adore these pants because they are stretchy, yet hold their shape. I honestly don't know if they are the most flattering pair of pants for me, but they do the trick in terms of comfort. I am not straight up and down and these pants are made for someone with more of a boyish shape. Mixing lighter and darker shades of the same color and then throwing on a contrasting color jacket is basically what I did in this outfit. The mint cropped coat looks amazing against the pink and burgundy. These Derek Lam ankle boots are one of my favorite pairs of boots. They are functional for Denver winters and easy to slip on and off.

Anime Opinion Article
People reaction to anime haters
1. I follow them home then stab them in the spleen, that'll teach them to hate something I enjoy.
2.Well first I'd try to argue that there are a lot adult anime if that doesn't work and they're just stupid I'll lol.
3.I explain the general themes found in Black Lagoon and Hellsing then ask them how much they liked the latest Disney/Pixar flick. (knowing they've seen it)
Shuts them up every time.
4.They piss me off, so I just ignore them as much as I can.
5.i just leave them be , its pointless to change some1 mind when that person doesn't wanna change
6. I firt mention that anime isn't only for kids, kinda like Pixars movies. I tell them about the mature animes like Higurashi, Elfen Lied, Kara no Kyoukai etc.
If they don't change their mind after that, I just let them be. You can't simly change the ignorant haters
7. I give them the 1 sentence explanation of "It's just a different creative medium" if they're still hatin' i either show them something like Higurashi or leave just leave the ignorant people be.
8.Show them what Anime can do and cartoon can't.If they wanna hate,they better hate Anime to the worst.I don't like people who hate Anime without knowing anything.
9.First I ask them why they think its childish and if they don't have a reason (which they usually don't) I ignore them and go on with my day.
10.i will just ignore them because if i will talk with them and say anime i will recklessly gonna punch him for teasing anime because they dont know about it
11.lol true, ignoring them is the best solution.
12.haters gonna hate.
let them be
13.It just means they're missing out on some entertainment. Sure if they're particularly vocal and especially ignorant then it's annoying but if they have no knowledge to back up their claims then they aren't worth listening to.
14.i punch em hard in the face lol ........
15.Well i've only been bullied in sixth grade about it but just ignore and don't give them a reason to bully you be near friends and keep yourself busy
16. love Anime So go to hell.
17.I can't hear them over the sound of how awesome something I watch is.
18.Normally I throw a massive rage and stomp on their brains with steel toe-capped boots. But sometimes I just murder them.
19.Basically, this. I mean, what difference does it make? If they don't like it, they don't like it. Plain and simple.

- Illustrate why increasing IT resource utilization from today's low levels offers the most significant energy efficiency gains and why current efforts to improve utilization are failing.
- Provide motivation and actionable guidance for IT and business decision makers to improve IT energy efficiency and resource utilization through technologies such as cloud computing.
Please enjoy the series below, and feel free to leave comments about your own company experiences or questions for the authors.
The white paper can be downloaded here in PDF format.
This series is curated by RP Siegel
Seizing the Opportunity for Data Center Efficiency
The importance of embracing IT energy efficiency has never been more urgent than it is today. The integration of IT into almost every facet of business and society is driving exponential demand that will strain many organizations' finances and IT capabilities to the limit. IT energy efficiency and increased IT resource utilization can offer substantial respite from these challenges and lead to more nimble, competitive organizations.
Principles and Practices of Enterprise IT Efficiency
Taking into account all of the opportunities for increasing IT energy efficiency, how can an organization best approach the challenge of making its IT operations more sustainable? Here are the key principles for a successful transition to operating IT as a utility:
The Efficiency Opportunity Roadmap
Starting at the Silicon level, certain components, such as "green" RAM and disk drives, can use less power at normal operational loads through lower voltage or other low power designs (e.g., solid-state drives instead of hard disk drives). Additionally, certain components, such as the CPU and hard disk drives, can dynamically lower their power needs when less busy or idle, typically in conjunction with the operating system.
A Vision of the Future for IT Efficiency
Although energy efficiency is important, it doesn't pay if it significantly reduces productivity, performance, and reliability. Some important systems are underutilized by design. For example, no one would seriously suggest sharing fire trucks among airports many miles apart to increase their utilization.
Applications: the Missing Link in Data Center Efficiency
Most IT energy efficiency efforts have traditionally focused on physical infrastructure—deploying more energy-efficient computer hardware and cooling systems, using operating system power management features, and reducing the number of servers in data centers through hardware virtualization.
How Thinking of IT as a Utility Can Improve Efficiency
Server underutilization is a major barrier to energy efficiency. Most large IT departments have been trying to improve server utilization for some years, primarily through the use of server virtualization technology. But many of these efforts have stalled for a number of reasons including financial constraints, organizational politics, and a shortage of sufficiently skilled IT staff.
Data Storage and the Environmental Benefits of the Cloud
Two major trends in today's world: concern about energy consumption and the ever-increasing use of computing power were bound to collide and indeed they have.
As a result, nearly all computer and data center equipment manufacturers are developing more energy-efficient hardware. Indeed, many manufacturers are stretching to reach increasingly stringent Energy Star standards.
The Pattern of Overbuilding: Server Utilization and Energy Productivity for Green IT
In the previous post, we made the analogy between computational equipment and home furnaces, both of which tend to be overdesigned in light of anticipated peak demand, which results in highly inefficient operation. In the case of home furnaces, the concern is being able to heat the house on the coldest conceivable day. In the IT world, the concern is to make sure that the system will operate continuously and with the necessary speed under all circumstances.
Data Center Efficiency: The IT Energy Efficiency Imperative
Tight budgets, rising energy costs, and limits on electric power availability are hindering the ability of information technology (IT) departments to meet the growing demand for IT services. To mitigate these challenges, it is important for organizations to embrace IT energy efficiency principles to remain productive and competitive in the face of constrained and finite resources.

The Global Urban Crisis and an Ecological Way Forward
Dr. Steward Pickett, Distinguished Senior Scientist, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies
Thursday, September 25, 4 pmFREE
Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, Konover Auditorium
University of Connecticut, Storrs
Urban areas today are expanding at an unprecedented rate across the globe. There are more and more new cities by the year, and the largest of existing cities are growing still larger. On the one hand, cities can be the epitome of sustainability, reaping the benefits of proximity, efficiency, and innovation. On the other hand, they can be graveyards of dreams and sources of contamination. As cities grow, change, and become ever more connected to global networks, societies are presented with choices. Cities are in crisis: do they move toward sustainability, or do they slip backwards into unsanitary and vulnerable states?
Presented by UConn's Edwin Way Teale Lecture Series bringing leading scholars and scientists to the University of Connecticut to present public lectures on nature and the environment. 860.486.4460 - http://doddcenter.uconn.edu/asc/events/teale/teale.htm

Quinebaug Shetucket Heritage Corridor's "Walktober"
Vampire Folk Belief in Historic New England
Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni, Office of State Archaeology
Saturday, November 1, 10 am to 12 noon, rain or shine
Jewett City, CT (map will be mailed to participants)
Advance registration required; this walk is limited to no more than 70 people.
FREE for adults and children ages 12 and above. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please register by mail or call the Museum to reserve your space!
Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni will lead a walk through an area of Connecticut's Quiet Corner steeped in history and folklore. In 1990 a couple of very surprised young boys discovered two skulls at the site of a new gravel quarry in eastern Connecticut. Dr. Nick Bellantoni, Connecticut's State Archaeologist at the time, and others were called in to investigate what turned out to be a forgotten colonial family cemetery. One grave in particular caught their eye. Someone had arranged the burial in an unusual way. This led to further investigation involving archaeology, forensics, genealogy, and folklore that produced the theory that the cause for the oddity in the burial was the belief that its occupant was a vampire. Vampire folklore was rampant in New England from 1780 to the 1890s, and a combination of disciplines helps archaeologists today discover more about peoples' attitudes towards health and healing during this period. As was learned, a real public health issue was to blame. Presented by the Griswold Bicentennial Committee and the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center.
New Series: Exploring Connecticut's TownsPortland!
Susan Fiedler, Brownstone Quorum
Bob McDougall, Portland Historical Society
Saturday, November 8, 10 am to 12 noon
Portland, CT (directions will be sent to participants)
Advance registration required: $15 ($10 for Museum members)
Adults and children ages 8 and above. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
In each of Connecticut's 169 towns, the relationship between the State's natural and cultural history plays out in unique ways. From the indigenous peoples arriving after the glaciers receded and the European explorers and settlers establishing colonies in the New World, to the innovators of the industrial revolution leading to the present day, Connecticut is steeped in history. Join us as we explore Connecticut's towns and learn about the people and environments that have shaped and continue to shape the Constitution State.
The third town in the series is Portland, a small community with a huge history. The brownstone industry began in colonial times and reached its peak in the mid 1800s. Many buildings, monuments and landscapes feature its distinctive dark sandstone. This tour will include the National Historic Landmark Brownstone Quarries, local examples of brownstone architecture and gravestones, and a unique historic landscape. The removal of 1 billion cubic yards of stone created sheer cliffs and dramatic topography, which bring the stories of immigration, the industrial revolution, and even the Works Progress Administration to life.
Despite its prolific use and fame, half of the stone excavated from the three pits never left town. Portland has the most Connecticut River frontage in the State and was continuously transformed over hundreds of years as unsalable stone, or 'slag', was used to fill in the flood plain, shifting the shoreline 200 feet towards Middletown. Later, the area was covered by wharves, cranes, and a factory that prepared ornate facades to be re-assembled in New York, Boston, and other cities. To the north, the need to 'dump' resulted in the Riverfront Park, a remarkable "40 acre sculpture." As it looks to the future, the community is looking to capitalize on the significance of these resources, and expand their impact.
Susan Fiedler of the Brownstone Quorum will describe changes to these historic vernacular landscapes over time, and aspects of preservation planning. Bob McDougall will describe what life was like for the thousands of men working the quarries and their families, and how this heritage influenced the development of the town. A 1.5 mile walk will loop from the Park, on to Brownstone Avenue, up Silver Street, along Main Street, and down Middlesex Avenue. This includes a vertical grade change of about 300 feet. There will be an optional hike around the Park trails, which are narrow with short steep inclines.

Symbiosis in Your Backyard
Dr. Louise Lewis, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UConn
Saturday, December 6, 1 pm
Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, UConn Storrs
No registration required FREE
Adults and children ages 8 and above. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
The relationship between the clownfish and the sea anemone is often used as an example of a symbiotic relationship. While the anemone's stings deter larger predators from eating the clownfish, the clownfish, which is immune to the stings, protects the anemone by eating invertebrates that could harm it as well as provides the anemone nourishment through its food waste. However, you don't have to go to the ocean to discover these symbiotic relationships in actionfrom the microorganisms living in you to the diverse organisms in your own back yard, symbiotic relationships occur throughout nature.
Join Dr. Louise Lewis and learn how symbiosis happens all around us in nature. Dr. Lewis will also discuss her work on algae that form symbiotic relationships with spotter salamanders and other amphibians.
Regenerating Tropical Forests

Saturday, December 13, 3 pm
Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, UConn Storrs
No registration required FREE
Adults and children ages 8 and above. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Tree by tree and acre by acre, the clearing of the earth's great topical forests during the 20th century to harvest timber and establish farms, plantations, roads, and cities, caused extraordinary changes to the environment. Deforestation displaced rural populations, caused the extinction of countless plant and animal species, leads to erosion and desertification, released large amounts of previously stored carbon into the atmosphere, and diminished an ecosystems ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere, recycle nutrients, filter ground water, and regulate water flows. Today, however, deforestation rates are declining and some forests are beginning to return.
Join Dr. Robin Chazdon, the principal investigator in the new research coordination network People and Reforestation in the Tropics: a Network of Education, Research, and Synthesis and a long-term researcher on tropical forest regeneration. Learn what researchers and nonprofit organizations are doing to bring these second-growth forests back in the most successful ways possible. A book signing of Dr. Chazdon's new book Second Growth: The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation, which reviews present and past human impacts on tropical forests, the ecology of forest regeneration, and local and global forest stewardship, will follow the talk.

"What a BASTARD he is an MONSTER I am so happy he was held accountable."
Are people bastards and monsters, and should one be happy for possible death sentences? As for me, I think often pure luck or chance or circumstances or whatever prevents one person from committing something terrible - that there is only a thin border line separating one seemingly "good" person from at one specific instance do something that would have made him a "monster" or "bastard". A restraint in a fraction of a second - and one is not a "monster", but a "good" guy. Longo also has a mother, and she has cared for him, nursed him, played with him, read to him, laughed together with him, and made plans for him and his future, had dreams about how good it would all be - and she must be heartbroken now.
I have a child, I made such plans, I had such moments - now that child is a drug addict, a criminal, and surely by many "SheilaM"s considered a "bastard" and a "monster" - but I look beyond that outer appearance, and inside of him I see that young child, those moments, and while lamenting those moments lost and that present appearance, I know that the person is no more a "monster" than I am, that a few bad decisions made at crucial times when the mind was temporarily blurred made a path which was afterwards so hard to change.
Longo was a child. He has a mother. He is no monster or bastard. He is just a scared child who made unwise decisions - with terrible consequences for innocent people, but monster - no. Give him psychological treatment in an institution, don't kill the mothers' children.

Well old hippie you are entitled to your thoughts and opinions. But I totally disagree with you. This man was a monster.
Sphere, I totally agree with you.
Why waste tax payers money to put monsters like this in a mental institution, so people can analyze them for the rest of their lives.. They took a life, or lives they don't deserve to live in society with the law abiding citizens. Geez.
