MAKING TIME: The Time 100 Gala had no shortage of politicos and celebrities walking the red carpet Monday evening, with Sting, Martha Stewart, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Mark Wahlberg all making a pit stop in front of a throng of screaming photographers. But it was Blake Lively who had reporters practically falling over themselves, all to get a glimpse at her new 'do. "Wait, does she have red hair now? Did she dye her hair?"
Yes, the "Gossip Girl" star colored her hair a month ago, for a new role in "Hick," a Derick Martini directed film about a Nebraska teen that sets out for Las Vegas. Wearing a flowing sea green Zuhair Murad gown, Lively told WWD she'll be wearing Chanel on Monday night, when she goes to the Met Ball. And who will be her date? "Karl Lagerfeld, of course!"
Meghan McCain, a panelist for Time's Person of the Year, brought along her hairdresser as her date. "I'm also going to an NRA convention and the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend, so he made me even blonder. And this dress is Alexander McQueen. Everyone was like, 'Why did you wear it?' and I said, 'Because it fit!'" Tanned first girlfriend Sandra Lee, in Alberta Ferretti, said she's choosing between Dior and Oscar de la Renta for the Met Ball. She also admitted she'll be in front of the TV bright and early Friday morning to catch the royal wedding. "Out of respect for Diana I'll end up watching it," she said. "You know, it's a nice thing. Everyone watched Diana and now, her son is getting married."
In between shots with the various guests arriving on the red carpet, Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time, said he was most looking forward to meeting Patti Smith. Last year, Smith won the National Book Award for her memoir and more recently, she was shot by Annie Leibovitz for a Disney ad campaign with Johnny Depp, in the spirit of "Pirates of the Caribbean." "Her music is a symbol of artistic rebellion and she's iconic," Stengel said.
Many of the celebs on hand also admitted to wanting to meet the poet-rocker. "That's sort of amazing," Smith said, in her trademark Ann Demeulemeester and YSL pants. "I can't believe that. I'm just, I don't know, I'm just usually at home working, being with my son and daughter. "But yes, I did that shoot with Johnny. I love all of his movies."

Having long and heavy lashes is a very attractive physical attribute. However for many women, the key solution to buying this look where it is lacking is by using makeup. Eye-liner, mascara and eye shadow are the typical cosmetic makeup products used to enhance this area of the face. It is but sometimes tiresome to possess to keep repeating the same tactics over and over, sometimes more than once per day. In this manner you might have a more completely appearing change that makes you seem interesting.
To simply help encourage this enhancement you should attempt to eat an eating plan that is effective in promoting the health of hair. Foods rich in vitamin B, biotin and silicone are often recommended. A healthy life style that also involves training and drinking lots of water will also help. Cleaning your eyelashes can be beneficial. Not merely does it encourage each hair to be noticeable straighter alone, it also allows you to appear well-groomed. Permitting your extensions and pure eyelashes to clump together will not work well inside your appearance.
Using extensions does not mean you are constrained from using eye makeup. It's but advisable to be cautious in picking a products. For example, it's suggested that you utilize water since they will be simpler to gently remove based eyeliner and mascara. Make-up removers employed for oil based products are extremely harsh and drying to follicles of hair. While you continue washing that person, be sure to be light when pressing to the eye area. Also avoid touching your lashes under normal circumstances. Sleeping on your own part and straight back also helps you to prevent smashing your eyelashes contrary to the pillow and stimulating them to separate or become bent. More Info: Click On this page.

ETA 3104 - Physical Fitness Services - Specialized Exercise and Conditioning Activities
ETA 3003 - Taxability of Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong
The Department conducted a meeting on Wednesday, November 19th in Burien with interested members of the yoga community to provide an opportunity for input and suggestions to determine whether yoga classes constitute "physical fitness services" and/or whether there is an identifiable "bright line" between yoga classes that are "physical fitness services" and yoga classes that are not.
The Department first presented a brief background on background on the issue, explained some of the "tests" it had considered and determined unworkable, and presented a possible approach to addressing the issue. A handout discussing the possible approach was provided to attendees and can be found here.
The yoga community was given the opportunity to provide comment and input on the issue and the possible approach provided by the Department.
Approximately one hundred people attended the meeting, and the comments we received, both orally and in writing, were very helpful, and we are extremely grateful to those who have participated in the process.
One of the viewpoints expressed during the meeting was that the Department should exempt all forms of yoga, regardless of the location where it is taught. The viewpoint is very much appreciated and is being taken into careful consideration.
Additionally, a major announcement was made during the meeting:
Due to the unclear guidance that the Department has provided in this area, we will not be assessing retail sales tax for periods prior to December 1, 2008. However, if a Taxpayer has collected retail sales tax, we will not be allowing refunds of the tax.
A copy of a Memorandum on the issue from Leslie Cushman, the Department's former Deputy Director, can be found here.
Excise Tax Advisory (ETA) 2034 regarding the taxability of yoga, tai chi, and qi gong and a revised ETA 2023 were issued on December 1, 2008. These ETAs were renumbered and reissued as ETA 3003 and ETA 3104, respectfully, on February 2, 2009. As you will notice, the new ETA follows the concepts and ideas that were presented at the meeting and included in the handout that was distributed at the meeting.
The blanket approach suggested at the meeting of treating all activities in which yoga is in some way referenced as not being a "physical fitness service," i.e. "you can't take the yoga out of yoga," was considered. We ultimately decided, however, that the Department's guidance on this issue needed to recognize that some classes and facilities depart from the emphasis on "generally-accepted" characteristics of traditional yoga classes and instead emphasize physical fitness.
If you would like clarification about your particular business/classes after reading the ETAs, the Department encourages you to request a private letter ruling from the Department's Taxpayer Services Division. These written responses are binding on both the Department and the taxpayer based on the facts presented if the taxpayer's identity is disclosed.
As was announced during the November 19th stakeholder meeting, due to the unclear guidance that the Department has provided in this area and the inconsistent reporting from taxpayers, the Department will not pursue uncollected retail sales tax for periods prior to December 1, 2008. However, because it has been our position that retail sales tax was in fact due, if a practitioner has collected retail sales tax, this tax must be remitted to the Department.
The Department will not allow refunds for retail sales tax previously collected on these activities. This is because the Department is not authorized to refund taxes that were lawfully due at the time of payment. The Department's position is that until November 30, 2008, the day before revised Excise Tax Advisory 2034 was issued, except for teacher training courses, yoga, tai chi, and qi gong classes constituted "physical fitness services" taxable as retail sales.
Questions or comments can be directed to Jay Jetter, Tax Policy Specialist, at (360) 570-6057 or email@example.com.

A couple of days ago I caught myself trying to do five things at once:

Today on #camerathursdays we feature the return of Dan Milnor (a.k.a. @smogranch, Blurb's photographer at large). But this isn't a rerun. Last time we featured Dan and his Leica M6. Today we introduce his Leica M4 (observant readers will notice a Leica m9 slung around his neck too). The Black Leica M4 is one of the most sought after cameras for photographers. Dan's camera was meticulously restored by Leica. And he's shot his first roll with it. Read his rapturous first impressions and see his first shots.
Camera: Leica M6
Photographer: Dan Milnor
Job: Photographer at Large
The first thing I noticed is that the M4 has some heft to it. It's not heavy it's solid. It feels great. The second thing I noticed is the camera is smooth, REALLY smooth. When you crank the wind lever it is like eating a stick of butter. I knew within about ten frames that this is the best film camera I've ever had.
The M4 is all brass and all mechanical. There is no meter. Another photographer said to me, "Oh that sucks, no meter, what a pain in the ass." For a split second I was kinda thinking the same thing, then I quit huffing paint for two minutes and realized my Hasselblad has no meter and I love that thing. So when I did this M4 test I put my trusty light meter in my back pocket, but instead of pulling it out and metering the scene I just viewed the scene, analyzed it, and then set my exposure.
This is now my everyday camera, my number one, my big cheese, my big Kahuna. I've been carrying it now for about a week, and I have to say, everywhere I take it people flock to it like bees to honey. I'm not sure why this other than the fact that old cameras are cool, but there really seems to be something more to it. The only thing I can come up with is that in an age of something new every six months, people have a great appreciation for things that last. This M4 is over forty years old and it is just as good today as it was when it was first released.
You can see more from his first roll, plus his complete narrative, over on his website. Until our next dispatch from our corner of camera-nerd heaven, we wish you happy shooting with whatever camera you call your own.

Telefonica Movistar
Telefonica Movistar 04th November 2005
Telefonica Movistar, the Spanish V70 entry for the forthcoming Volvo Ocean Race 2005/6 has been turning heads not only for covering a record-breaking 530 nautical miles in 24 hours in April 2005. Constructed from a female mould and manufactured with SP's revolutionary low temperature epoxy prepreg, SE70, the structure is lightweight, robust and with it's clear coated carbon hull, looks absolutely striking.
Early in 2004, a number of prominent raceboat builders around the world started looking for a package of materials and engineering which could help impart an all-important edge to their forthcoming Volvo 70 builds. One such builder was renowned Australian yard, Boatspeed.
Historically, Boatspeed's preferred build method had been to utilise long open-time catalytic wet systems, such as SP Ampreg 22 with the 3 Day Hardener recently used to build Nicorette.
However, when it came to selecting materials for Telefonica Movistar, one of the latest generation of carbon/Nomex Volvo 70's, the Telefonica team took the decision to move forward with SP's new 70°C curing range of prepregs and adhesive films, and Boatspeed rose to the manufacturing challenge of this new technology.
For the last decade, SP's marine product range had been dominated by the 80°C curing SE84 range of products, which has been widely and successfully used by raceboat builders around the world.
However the recently launched 70°C curable product range, consisting of SE70 toughened Prepregs and Adhesive Films, patented ST70 SPRINT® and SF70 Surfacing Films, allowed even greater advances in build technology. These products combine all the structural performance and handling benefits of the original 80°C curing systems with significant ease-of-use and dimensional accuracy gains for the builder.
Telefonica's decision to move to this next level of manufacturing technology and control, combined with the suberb laminating skills and attention to detail of the Boatspeed yard, has proved to be an inspired one, resulting in a World Speed Record breaking yacht.
On seeing the quality of the hull construction as it came out of Boatspeed's mould, Olympic 49er medallist and Telefonica crew member Iker Martinez declared "It doesn't get any better than this! It's a first class effort and an example of fantastic teamwork. There is no doubt Boatspeed was a great place to carry out the construction".
Key to achieving this outstanding result was the decision to use SE70 in a female composite mould. As had already been demonstrated with the IMS 54 CAM, the excellent flow characteristics of the SE70 prepregs have been specifically formulated to provide near-perfect surface finish, producing the minimum parasitic weight on demoulding.
When Measured by the Volvo 70 ruling committee it was commented that the boat was on the projected minimum; this effort then allowed further advances in keel weight which further delighted the Telefonica Team.
SP has been involved in all aspects of the build, from the SE70 structural materials in the hull, deck, canards and rudder to the wet Ampreg materials used for the mould tool, Corecell™ foam core and the Spabond Adhesives used for all bonding operations. Allied to this, SP Technologies' input to optimisation of the structural engineering has made this a project with which SP has been proud to be associated.

Guitarist Keith Richards recalls the making of the Rolling Stones' 1972 masterpiece.
The Stratocaster, the Telecaster and the Les Paul were all designed in the 1950s -- yet the shapes of these guitars have stuck around, and they're certainly not going away anytime soon.
Which album from 1990 was voted number one by Guitar World readers? Check out this gallery and find out.
A while back, we posted a video of a man who can only be described as the world's angriest guitarist.
Actor Chuck Norris chimed in on the latest Gibson factory raid in his latest column for TownHall.com.
The photo at the left (full-size image below) has been making the rounds online today, and depicts a lone guitarist playing away while it appears there's a way going on around him. No biggie.
Guitarist Richard Gere -- who also does some acting, we're told -- auctioned off a massive part of his impressive collection of vintage guitars yesterday. The axes fetched nearly $1 million at auction in New York City.
Guitar World made history in Milan, Italy, on July 6, 2011, by getting Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Slayer's Kerry King and Anthrax's Scott Ian to pose for group photos — the first photos ever to feature all the guitarists of thrash metal's Big Four tour.
Every so often, a band bursts onto the scene like the perfect storm. When conditions are right, lives will forever be changed and said band will — pardon the expression — fuck your shit up. This is what happened when Fishbone hit the scene during the early 1980s. Equipped with an arsenal of influences ranging from punk music to soul and funk, six black teenagers from Los Angeles (Angelo Moore, Norwood Fisher, Phillip "Fish" Fisher, Chris Dowd, Walter Kibby II and Kendall Jones) would carve a niche for themselves within the largely homogenized world of rock.

|The Sixers last faced the Clippers on the eve of leaving Philly for their longest road trip of the season. This time, the Clippers will play their first game back in LA after a five-game trip against the visiting Sixers. Slowing Blake Griffin down will be a focus, but I could care less if he scores 50, as long as the Sixers get the W.
Latest comment: from GoSixersThanks for that unpleasant reminder :)...
|The Sixers have lost consecutive games to teams they should have beaten for the first time since early January when Andre Iguodala was hurt. Just when the playoff race has begun to heat up, they've apparently wilted. You can pretty much forget about the fifth seed in the East. Luckily, though, the Knicks have picked a fine time to show their true colors.
|If the comeback had resulted in a win we could've chalked this game up as a couple of bad quarters and then a resolve that would serve them well come playoff time. But it didn't. So all what we're left with is just a pitiful effort, again, for about 30 minutes. Then a furious comeback which left just enough time to blow a lead late in the game. The worst of both world's.
|The amazing thing about the Sixers loss at Milwaukee on Saturday night isn't how badly they were beaten, it's that it was really the first game they should've won, but didn't, in nearly two months. Tonight, they need to get back on track, they can't afford even a week-long dip at this point of the season.
|After an atrocious first couple months of their NBA season, the Philadelphia 76ers have rebounded well and are playing some of the hottest ball in the league. Currently, the Sixers are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. If the playoffs started today, the Sixers would play the Chicago Bulls in the first round. However, with 16 games to play both the six (0.5 games behind) and even the five (4 games behind) seed seem to be obtainable goals for the Sixers.
|Throughout the week, basketball writers from the major sites have a number of chats and run rumor columns. Every once in a while, they actually talk about the Sixers. In this column, GoSixers has aggregated the relevant stuff from the chats. You'll see stuff in here that will make you scratch your head, but keep in mind, these guys are experts.
|What we saw on the floor tonight from the Sixers in no way resembled the basketball we've seen from them this season. If you want to dwell on it as some sort of indicator, that's your prerogative. For me, and more importantly for the team, it's just a blip. It's over, delete it from your memory banks and get ready for the Jazz on Monday night.
|This is the script when the Sixers play a good team: Set up a game plan, execute the game plan, hang in the game, build a little lead, get to the final five minutes with a chance to win. This time, though, the script had a different ending when Doug Collins threw a curve ball at the Celtics and his Sixers refused to be denied their biggest win of the season ... so far.
Latest comment: from tk76Agree. Hawesome....
|I feel like we've become a bit lost as a fan base. The Laker dominance of the past couple of seasons. LeBron and Bosh joining Wade and playing the victim. The media love affair over Melo and Amare, together at last. All these things have perhaps diffused our laser of hatred for a certain chowder-loving franchise into a mere floodlight. Well, tonight that's going to have to change.
|19,283 lucky fans packed the Wells Fargo Center last night to see the Sixers take on OKC in what unfortunately wound up being a heartbreaking overtime loss. As an outside observer, watching from home, this was easily the best crowd I've seen for a home Sixers game since the final game at the Spectrum two seasons ago. I hope this is the beginning of a trend that will carry over right into the playoffs, and if you're thinking about maybe attending a game, there are a few big matchups on the upcoming schedule.

Who Owns Chipotle? Chipotle Mexican Grill Information
Chipotle Mexican Grill – Establishment and Growth
Chipotle Mexican Grill is a popular fast food restaurant with multiple locations in the USA, Canada, France, the UK and Germany. The chain is mostly famous for its tacos and burritos. The restaurants are named after a Mexican Spanish term meaning dried and smoke chilli pepper.
The main priority of the company is to offer high quality and organic products. For this purpose the restaurants serve fresh vegetables and meat from naturally raised animals.
Who Owns Chipotle?
The company Jack in the Box owns Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants. There have always been rumors that Chipotle is a property of McDonalds, but the truth is that since 2006 McDonalds has nothing to do with Chipotle Mexican Grill, because the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company was established in 1993 and today it has over 1500 restaurants in North America and some European countries.
Chipotle's History and Development
Chipotle's creator Steve Ells studied at the American Culinary Institute and after his graduated he started working for a famous restaurant in San Francisco where he got acquainted with burritos and taquerias. Ells used his experience and knowledge to open the first Chipotle location in Denver. His father lent him $85,000 to finance his enterprise. Upon opening the place, Steve and his father estimated that the restaurant had to sell 107 burritos every day to be cost-effective. A month later the location was selling more than 1000 burritos every day.
Ells established a second location in 1995 using the profits of the first one and later on a third restaurant appeared. In the following years Steve's father supported his business and invested a total of $1.5 dollars. The finances were used for further growth and development of the company.
Then, Steve Ells developed a special business plan about the company and created a directors' board. The first two locations outside of Colorado were established in 1999 in Ohio and Minnesota. The initial idea of Ells was to create a fancy dining place but he continued developing the chain because of the great success it has achieved so far.
The growth of Chipotle is partially based on the investments of McDonald's in the company that started in 1998. Three years later MacDonald's became the largest investor of Chipotle and the chain expanded quickly to more than 500 locations. In January 2006 the firm made its first initial public offering and became a public company. The price of the shares was doubled because of great demand. This action turned to be a great success as the stock rose 100% in the first day. The profits were once again used for new development and expansion.
McDonald's stopped its investments in Chipotle in the autumn of 2006 and focused on the development of their own restaurants. It has been calculated that the total investments of McDonald's in Chipotle amounted $360 million while the investor has received $1.5 billion.
Chipotle's main competitors are Qdoba, Panchero's Mexican Grill, Moe's Southwest Grill, Baja Fresh, and Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill that also serve traditional Mexican meals. In 2009 Chipotle took the eighth position in the list of the fastest-growing chains and the company became third in 2010 due to its expansion. In 2011 Consumer Reports named Chipotle the best Mexican chain restaurant. The total daily amount of clients served in all locations reaches 750,000.
In 2010 the company adopted a new approach and hired a new chef named Nate Appleman. His main task was to create a new menu.
The same year the Minneapolis locations were audited by the immigration authorities. The audit showed that some of the workers had fraudulent documents. The outcome was that the company fired 450 employees – a measure that caused local protests. In 2011 the authorities audited 60 locations in Washington and Virginia, and another 40 workers were fired.
This has lead to a criminal investigation against the company to which Chipotle responded by hiring prominent lawyers. The company also refused to appoint a Mexican citizen and he instituted a suit claiming he has been discriminated.
In 2011 Ells participated in the popular TV show America's Next Great Restaurant as a judge. He also was an investor of the firm that will finance the winner – ANGR Holdings. Chipotle engaged to financially support the actions of ANGR and to make investments amounting $2.3 million.
Chipotle opened its first pizza location in Denver in 2013. The project is developed together with Pizzeria Locale and the plan of the two companies is to create two more pizza restaurants in Denver and the region.

Interview: 'Rudy' star Sean Astin running Chicago Marathon
Don't be fooled by Sean Astin's plump appearance as Samwise Gamgee in "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy. The 42-year-old actor is an avid runner and has completed six marathons. And if all goes according to plan, Astin will be adding to that number Oct. 13 when he runs the Chicago Marathon.

A Hunger Artist
Life, Consciousness and Existence Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
[…] the starvation artist might respond with an outbreak of rage and, to everyone's horror, begin to rattle the bars of his cage like an animal. (4)
The artist's animalistic behavior here looks ahead to the end of the story, when he is replaced by a panther.
[…] the starvation artist did not lose sight of reality and accepted it as perfectly natural that he, with his cage, should not be placed as, let us say, a showstopper in the center ring but installed outside at a quite easily accessible spot, close to the animal sheds. (7)
That word, "natural," has to be loaded with irony. What's natural about anything in this passage? The artist's proximity to the animal highlights his increasing dehumanization.
[…] the radiance of [the children's] searching eyes betrayed something of new, more merciful times to come. (7)
Even at the low point of his popularity, the children still view him with wonder (see Quote 2 in "Art and Culture").

New releases were dead on arrival on this week's DVD sales chart. None reached the top five, while only three reached the top 30. This left Sucker Punch in top spot, but with only 105,000 units / $1.58 million units for the week giving it totals of 381,000 units / $5.71 million after two.
While it's not common for a box set to lead the way on the Blu-ray sales chart, it is also no real surprise that Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition Trilogy managed to do just that, as it was clearly the biggest new release of the week. It took top spot with sales of 336,000 units, and thanks to its premium pricing, it generated $25.21 million in opening week consumer spending.
The Adjustment Bureau led the way on this week's Blu-ray sales chart, but with just a fraction of last week's winning total. It sold 122,000 units and generated $2.87 million in consumer spending, which is very low for the number one film. However, its Blu-ray ratio was 35%, which is good for this type of film. (At its heart it is a romance, with a slice of science fiction thrown in.)
Several new DVD releases charted this week, and new releases even earned the top three spots on the chart. However, sales were very weak and they only placed that well due to the lack of substantial competition. The number one film on this week's DVD sales chart was Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Rodick Rules with just 255,000 units sold and $5.01 million in opening week consumer spending at retail. To put this into perspective, that's on par with the original film's second week on the home market.
It's another busy week for DVD / Blu-ray with four first-run releases coming out this week. Five if you include Cedar Rapids, which was had surprisingly brisk ticket sales in limited release. Cedar Rapids is also the only one of the big releases that I would consider for Pick of the Week honors. Despite the number of wide releases on this week's list, I'm going with an unorthodox choice for Pick of the Week, "Weird Al" Yankovic - Alpocalypse, but Louie: Season One on Blu-ray earns an honorable mention.
The international box office is as weak as the domestic box office is with very few films worth talking about. We do have a new number one, as Battle: Los Angeles earned first place with $28.74 million on 8,384 screens in 52 markets for a running tally of $51.70 million after just two weeks of release. The film debuted in first place in Australia with $2.58 million on 328 screens, while it also placed first during its debut in Brazil with $1.51 million on 263 screens. On the other hand, it had to settle for second place in France with $2.07 million on 295 screens. The number one film was a local hit, so there is a mitigating factor. As for its long-term chances, it was down 51% in the U.K. to $1.42 million on 417 screens over the weekend for a total of $5.61 million after two. This is not a great start there and will likely ends its run with the equivalent of $50 million to $60 million here.
February ended in the same position it has been for nearly the entire year, on the losing end of the comparison to 2010. The post-holiday drop-off was steep at 25% leaving the weekend box office at just $109 million. This was 9% lower than the same weekend last year. Normally, a 9% drop-off year-over-year would be devastating, but that's actually better than 2011 has averaged so far. Year-to-date it is now 21% lower than 2010's pace at $1.53 billion to $1.93 billion.
It's the end of the month and considering how poorly the year has started, for a lot of people it's good riddance. We are coming off of the first win in several months, but that streak could be over before it really starts. Firstly, the win was mainly due to President's Day long weekend coming a week later than it did last year. Secondly, the two films coming out this week are rather weak. The only good news is that this time last year wasn't exactly big at the box office either.
It was a good news / bad news situation this weekend as a number of films missed expectations. However, the overall box office was still enough for 2011 to secure its first win, topping last year's box office $145 million to $134 million. Granted, this is not exactly a fair comparison, as it was President's Day long weekend this year and it wasn't last year, but when you've had a 14-week losing streak, you will take any win that you can. Year-to-date, 2011 is still behind 2010's pace by nearly $400 million at $1.39 billion to $1.78 billion and there's little you can do to spin that into a positive.
We need a win. It has been more than three months since we've seen a victory in the year-over-year comparison, and with last year's Alice in Wonderland looming ahead on the comparisons, if we don't get a win soon, we might not get one for another couple of months. There is some good news this weekend. It's President's Day long weekend, which actually happened one weekend earlier last year. This means we have a holiday weekend this year going up against the post-holiday weekend from last year. Granted, Shutter Island opened with more than $40 million and I don't think any film will repeat that feat this year. However, last year's second place film, Valentine's Day made under $17 million, and each of the top five films this year could make that much. In order words, depth could be the key to the first victory of the year.
January got off to about as bad a start as I feared, and already 2011 is behind 2010 by about $275 million. Even worse, last February was better than expected. Not only did Avatar add another $200 million to its coffers during the month, the new releases collectively topped expectations every week (even if some individual releases failed to do so). What does this mean going forward? It means 2011 will likely continue to lose ground on 2010. By the time March rolls around, the only thing box office watchers will be talking about is the slump.

The bathroom's non-circulating library
I think that, like most people, we kind of use our bathroom as an impromptu library. Well, staring at the walls can get boring, ya know? But, well, we won't get into the particulars. Anyway, the StudMuffin and I have something of a Cold War going on in the bathroom. We both bring in reading material, though his is pretty much a two foot stack of bodybuilding and 4x4 mags with the past few Fredericks of Hollywood catalogues stashed at the bottom. Mine tends to be a paperback of some sort. There's room, he moves his library whenever we clean, so it's no big. At least not for him. Me? I'm paranoid about being in a bathroom with magazines that have people in them. There's pictures, you know? And they stare at you while you're doing your business. Once, Dennis Newman stared me down unblinkingly while I was brushing my teeth. To make matters worse, he was on the cover of Muscle & Fitness, so you can guess that he was wearing nothing but a brief pair of spandex trunks, a lot of body oil, and a smile. An almost naked guy was watching me brush my teeth in the bathroom. I did the only thing anyone can do under those circumstances. I refused to go into that bathroom for two days. This highly displeased Stud-boy because we've only got two bathrooms and the occasional, erm, emergency forced him to give up his roost in the Dennis Newman-free bathroom. My current stand-off is with this Val Vasilef person. I've never met the man. I know very little about the man. He could be, for all I know, the muscle-bound reincarnation of Mother Theresa. I still hate him. Why? He's on the back cover of Ironman and he's been staring up from said back cover next to the commode for three weeks now. I have covered him with towels, left over Stud-o tee shirts, toilet paper, books ranging from a thirty pound art history tome to one of those serial western paperback books. Every time I come back, he's there, smirking up at the next customer right next to the commode. I wasn't impressed with the "Russian Bear" when I first saw him smirking up from the dining room table months and months ago. I'm sorry, but "TV Action Commerical" isn't what I'd call resume-worthy for someone hawking his own, personal nutritional supplement. He's so friggin phony. He's wearing BDU britches, and a bandana. He smirks like my brother smirks (FYI, smirking like my brother is not sexy, I don't care what anyone else says. My brother is sexy just like a freshly mashed tarantula is sexy). Okay, and to make this all even worse, he's doing this right next to the toilet! Argh! I'm so not stepping foot in that bathroom until I can think about it without shuddering.

PhotoPills is just what the doctor ordered for pro and serious amateur photographers
Outdoor photographers are going to love PhotoPills. This US$9.99 app is a treasure trove of information for photographers who do most of their work outside.
The app allows you to plan your photography for any location on earth by letting you know where the sun and moon will be, provides depth of field calculations for any of hundreds of DSLR cameras, can help you determine the number of exposures needed for time lapse videos, and even calculate how much space images will consume in your camera storage.
I especially like the augmented reality views of the Sun, Moon, Milky Way and the North Star (Polaris) so you can know exactly where to position yourself for that dramatic photo of a striking sunset or sunrise.
PhotoPills can also perform calculations for determining the best long exposure times or determine the field of view for any camera/lens combination. It even tells you when the moon is closest to us or at its greatest distance, and of course you will get a graphical indication of the moon phase.
I live in an area with many canyons, so the ability to go to a location just before sunset and see the position of the sun superimposed on the actual terrain really helps to get me in position.
You can save points of interest right in PhotoPills or share information with other photographers. PhotoPills is not an app for the casual point-and-shoot crowd, but targeted at people who want to get the most out of their photographs by getting loads of useful information before pressing the shutter button.
PhotoPills is not an inexpensive app, but it does things no other photography app does, and it performs complex calculations very quickly. If you are a pro or serious amateur photographer, then PhotoPills is for you.
A similar app in terms of sun predictions is Sun Scout, but it also costs $9.99 and doesn't have nearly the information or set of calculations that PhotoPills provides.
PhotoPills requires iOS 5.1.1 or later. It's not universal, so really it needs an iPhone with its array of sensors. It's hard not be enthusiastic over what this app can do. You can view a video to see the app in action at the PhotoPills website.

Youngman has made another bid for bankrupt Saab, according to new reports. The Chinese automaker has offered to buy what's left of Saab for $470 million at current conversion rates. The news comes courtesy of Dagens Industri. The newspaper also indicates that's the absolute lowest the Swedish automaker's pledgees and real estate owners will accept to settle the company's impressive debt. The deal would also set aside an additional $1.47 billion to restart production at the mothballed Trollhattan facility. Other foreign automakers are also vying over Saab's remains, including India's Mahindra & Mahindra.
Pang Da, meanwhile, seems to have no interest in continuing to pursue Saab. The company paid out around $59 million for vehicles Saab was supposed to produce. That never happened, and now the Chinese company has had to undergo the unpleasant task of reporting that loss to its investors.
Saab reportedly owes around $1.9 billion at the moment, and its assets are valued at just $532 million.

Disaster Help Desk for Business: Behind the Scenes of Preparedness and Response
Think back to one month ago. If you were on the Eastern Seaboard you were probably closely tracking Sandy's path and wondering how it would affect you. In other parts of the country, your news outlets offered you two stories and probably not much else: "Super Storm" Sandy and the elections.
Sandy's U.S. landfall came one month ago today. BCLC's free (thanks to the Office Depot Foundation's generous sponsorship) disaster service for small businesses – the Disaster Help Desk for Business – has been available night and day to assist those affected by Sandy.
Many of you know that BCLC runs the Help Desk for Business, but you might not know specifically how it can be used in times of disaster. That's why I thought it would be important to give you a behind-the-scenes look at what the Help Desk has been doing in the last month.
This is a letter from our Help Desk manager, Ines Pearce:
It has truly been a crazy time with this storm hitting the most densely populated area in the country. The Help Desk has received 928 emails/calls related to Hurricane Sandy. Before the storm we reached out to the potentially affected states, and of course after landfall we made contact with all of the impacted states. Part of these calls/emails have been from dozens of companies (potential donors) asking for specific details on areas hardest hit.
Since Day 1 we've been working with the five boroughs in New York and their chamber of commerce presidents (including some of the chambers within the boroughs like Brooklyn), as well as state-level business organizations such as the Business Emergency Operations Center (BEOC) in New Jersey. We've spent a considerable amount of time trying to reach the small chambers on the NY/NJ coast that were without power for three+ weeks and enlisted FEMA's outreach teams to make contact while working in those areas.
We have been receiving calls from the smallest of small businesses, beginning about a week after the storm. We are still getting new calls, as well as return callers needing more help after they've hit a road-block or have more questions.
We've helped share info such as the FEMA/SBA conference call information, explained federal assistance to those who need it, and have directed businesses to the Business Recovery Centers so they could get free business counseling to address their other concerns. We've also been using the Help Desk Facebook pageto share response and recovery information by state as it becomes available and have people sharing that information with others.
We are still in the thick of things. Almost all of the businesses have had a "can do" attitude, regardless of how devastated they are and how bad their news was that day. Staten Island, NY, is still struggling and we're working with a few organizations to determine what they need so that we can help them.
BCLC will continue to keep the Help Desk open for Hurricane Sandy for as long as it's needed. If you know of any small businesses that could use the type of information described above, please share this with them:
Disaster Help Desk for Business
Phone: 888-MY BIZ HELP / 888-692-4943
Email: email@example.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/BCLChelpdesk
Twitter: @BCLChelpdesk
Prepare Now
We at BCLC also want to take this opportunity to urge businesses across the nation to not wait for a disaster to threaten your community to spur you into thinking about preparedness or re-opening. Of the small businesses that don't have emergency readiness plans, 43% are never able to re-open once disaster hits. These small business closings can have tremendous implications for the local community, the economy, as well as to the owner/operator and their families.
In addition to Sandy response information, the Help Desk is ready to help businesses prepare for future disasters. Plus, BCLC's corporate network has a tremendous amount of insight and experience to share about managing operations, supply chains, employee support programs, and more during disaster times.

An Iowa doctor recently contacted the state's Department of Public Health to ask for help -- a patient purposefully ate a tapeworm in an attempt to lose weight. (She bought it off the internet). Sounds ridiculous, right?
Ingesting a parasite isn't the only extreme attempt dieters have used to lose weight. Despite over 50 years of research that all tells us the same thing -- focusing on healthy habits, and not weight, works best -- someone is always proclaiming to have found the magic bullet to quick weight loss. These are just a few of the insane things that have been done in the name of weight loss.
David Burder/Stone/Getty ImagesBasically the dieters swallow the eggs of a tapeworm which then grow in the digestive tract where they eat part of the hosts food, thus reducing caloric intake. Genius! After the dieter reaches their goal weight (it's not clear how to take the weight of the tape worms into account) they take an antibiotic that kills the tapeworm. As if the blech factor wasn't high enough, now they have to pass the tapeworm. Also, this "diet" can cause brain damage -- since tapeworms are not well trained they may wander around to other parts of the body, including the brain.
The Chewing Diet
Jim Schemel/E+/Getty ImagesThis wasn't so much about chewing as it was about, um, spitting. Art dealer Horace Fletcher "invented" the diet in 1903 when he was denied health insurance because he was fat. Rather than fighting for fair insurance practices, Horace started chewing his food and then spitting it out in an attempt to lose weight. The great thing about this diet? There are no food restrictions to remember, food groups to completely avoid, or calories to count. You just chew each piece of food between 30 and 80 times, then spit it out (what to spit it into is left to the individual dieter to decide.) This diet is especially popular on first dates and at weddings. In good news, if your family decides to food police you at a holiday dinner, feel free to take up this diet immediately -- that'll teach them a lesson.
Mastication Diet
De Agostini/S.Vannini/Getty ImagesIt's kind of like the chewing diet. Only, instead of spitting it out, you take a bite of food and chew it until it literally liquefies in your mouth. It started out as a way to encourage people to chew their food and eat more slowly -- which isn't necessarily a horrible idea. It then morphed into chewing until food liquefied. Then, escalated to dieters being advised not to eat any food that would not liquefy completely in their mouths. Unfortunately, that included all foods with fiber. This was before modern treatments for constipation so between chewing food and praying for an end to gastrointestinal distress, they didn't exactly have time to cheat on the diet. So, it kind of worked? We wouldn't recommend it though.
Matthew Hertel/iStock Vectors/Getty ImagesOn this diet, you eat one meal of low fat protein and green vegetables once a day and then take food substitutes that are comprised predominantly of reconstituted soy protein, five times a day. Dieters are warned that a single bite of bread can throw off weight loss for a week or more. Also, it's a multi-level marketing company where people become "certified health coaches" by paying a fee (I know someone who was an unemployed social psychologist one day and a "certified health coach" the next) and then sign up other "certified health coaches" under them. Hmm, pyramid scheme? Like every other diet they have no proof of statistically significant long term success, but there are reports of hair loss and amenorrhea.
Izabela Habur/E+/Getty ImagesThis is a diet pill that suggests that you "wear dark pants and bring an extra pair to work." Why? Side effects include uncontrolled anal seepage (Uncontrolled. Anal. Seepage.), fatty or oily stool, spontaneous bowel movements, kidney stones and life-threatening liver damage (for which there are class action lawsuits). Their own research shows that people who use Alli lose an average of, wait for it, 4 pounds more a year than people who don't use Alli. I don't know about you, but I could exfoliate and lose 4 pounds in a year and it wouldn't ruin any of my pants.
Do-It-Yourself Stomach Pump
Floortje/E+/Getty ImagesFirst, you get a tube inserted into your stomach. Then, each time you eat a meal, just excuse yourself to the restroom and literally pump the food out of your stomach into a bucket. I am not kidding -- this is a real thing and is already approved in Europe. Based on three US trials with a grand total of 24 participants (not exactly a statistically significant sample size), Aspire Bariatric is seeking FDA approval for the device, called the Aspire Assist. The device will "assist" you to never be asked to office lunches, carry around a bucket of partially digested food, and mimic the symptoms of bulimia. I can't believe they don't have a mailing list where I can sign up!
The Cookie Diet
Drazen Vukelic/E+/Getty ImagesIf we put fat people on a diet, but it has "cookie" in the name, they'll be happy to do it. Because fat people can't resist cookies amirite?! On this diet, you eat six "super-secret blend, hunger suppressing cookies" and a sensible dinner -- how people can put "eat six cookies" and "one meal a day" and "sensible" in the same sentence is beyond me. This diet has so few calories that participants are advised not to exercise which is extra sad when you consider that there is no evidence that the cookie diet makes people more healthy, and tons of evidence that exercise does. Also, the cookies taste like they are made of hay, just sayin'.
HCG Diet
Nils Hendrik Mueller/Cultura/Getty ImagesEat 500 calories a day and receive injections of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone derived from the urine of pregnant women. In some versions people following this diet are allowed only one vegetable per meal and the use of oil, body lotions and hygiene products, as well as exercise, are forbidden. It has not been approved by the FDA but some people have come around to the idea. Dr. Oz, for one, says "this is not some crazy wacky idea. It deserves to be studied." Because there's nothing too ridiculous to try on fat people.
Cabbage Soup Diet
CactuSoup/E+/Getty ImagesStart by making a huge batch of bland cabbage soup. Hope you like it, you're going to be eating a LOT of it for the next seven days. Each day the diet is slightly different -- Day one is soup and fruit, but no bananas, but Day 4 is bananas and skim milk, no other fruit. Other days include beef and tomatoes, and brown rice and unsweetened fruit juice. According to the website, people report light-headedness, weakness and decreased concentration. In fact, one of the questions posed on the site's FAQ: "I have been getting headaches and feeling extremely dizzy and weak while also experiencing sleepless nights, is this normal?" Yes, it's normal but don't worry, the website assures us that "many people think the diet is worth the effort anyway, since they lose so much weight!" Cause, you know, priorities.
The Feeding Tube Wedding Diet
Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesIn this diet a woman gets a tube inserted into her nose through which she receives 800 carb-free calories a day. It's become a thing-to-do for brides-to-be. Side effects include dizziness, constipation, dehydration and kidney stones. So, the bride can say her vows in her beautiful dress (while leaning on her maid of honor for support) to her beautiful new husband (who is wondering why in hell the woman he dated and asked to marry him at her weight -- sans nose tube -- would do this to herself).

As a family, it is important to have a plan in case of emergencies. If kids are old enough, they should be taught about the proper procedures during an emergency. Here are some tips from my local power company on what to do if the power goes out. This is good information to keep handy or remember in case of emergencies.
If your power is not restored by resetting the circuit breaker, call your local power provider to report the outage and request assistance. Keep all family members accounted for and safe while waiting for power to come back on specially at night time.
Do you have other useful tips during a power outage?

Turner Watson: 4/5 Stars
Blueberry is the new lemon. They're seriously putting it in every summertime brew that isn't a shandy. The good news is that this one isn't super-sweet. In fact, this is the first of these brews where the blueberry actually tastes more like a subtle aftertaste than a primary feature. It's quite nice! A bit of malt, some hops...and a fruity little finish.
John TheMexican:INCOMPLETE: Stars
Turner is the smartest man I know! I am jack's jealous rage!
Barry Thickk: 3/5 Stars
Ok, this is way better than the only other blueberry beer I've tried. Plenty of blueberry in the smell(which reminded me of a blueberry pop-tart)and the first taste... but you get the wheatiness in there also. This might now be to bad on a hot hot summer day.

The Abdominal Grow-Man
How can you build a strong-looking set of abs without compromising your aesthetics?
By Brandon Curry, IFBB Pro
[Q] Brandon, we've heard over the years that training your abs and obliques with resistance will only make your waist wider. What's your take?
[A] When you focus on abdominal training you should focus on control and stability. Moves like the plank are good but on any move you choose you should be able to pause and reverse direction at will. You shouldn't go to failure on every abdominal exercise because that breaks down too much muscle tissue. It's one area where traditional bodybuilding advice isn't recommended. By the last set, if you're reaching failure, you're probably done with the exercise. Going to failure using resistance can definitely put you at risk for getting wider. We want to condition the abs as bodybuilders. I like the ab wheel because it provides good stabilization work while challenging your entire abdominal complex.
[Q] What's the proper way to use resistance when training abs?
[A] Again, I like to focus on endurance when it comes to abs because they're stabilizers. I wouldn't really do anything under 20 reps. If you can do a bodyweight move for say 50 reps, then adding some resistance and control to cut that number in half is a smart way to go. But I also don't consciously think about reps — instead I think about feel. I don't want to get to that point where my rep speed decreases. At that point, I'm done. I don't want to break down too much muscle tissue. The speed shouldn't be hindered over the course of a set. Once that slows down you hit that breakdown point.
[Q] People have told me to use the old broomstick twist to train obliques. Is there any value in that?
[A] There's value in the broomstick twist, definitely. Even though you're not training under a load, you're still training your body to contract the obliques. The idea here is to hold the contraction hard. You should move slowly through a full range of motion to give yourself a "pump" in your obliques. If you're doing it right, with good focus, you shouldn't be able to do it all day.
[Q] What are the main things to consider with my overall training and nutrition that can help me develop a Curry-like set of abs?
[A] You have to know what you can and cannot eat. A lot of people run into issues where they're on a diet and they take carbs out and replace them with healthy fats. But you may have an intolerance or allergy. It's good to know if you're gluten sensitive, for example. You also want to eat at a calorie deficiency. Get an idea of how much food you're taking in each day. If you need to change anything, you can adjust variables here and there. When it comes to nutrition, it's about knowing where you are and what you can and cannot do. The same rules won't apply to everyone but in general you should reduce carbs and calories and focus on protein. Cardio will also help with that caloric deficit. With regard to the weights, there's no one right rep range. But as you decrease rest periods, it ups the intensity, the metabolic benefits are greater and you get better conditioned.
The Prodigy's Gift
Just in case you needed a reason to hate Brandon Curry…
Q: How often and how hard does Brandon train his abs?
A: "A lot of people don't believe me but I don't really train abs much anymore at all. It's been years since I have. Before a contest, I do a bit of work to make sure I can control them onstage but my ab quality is determined first and foremost by my diet. Genetically, I've always had good abs. I trained them hard when I was younger and it still shows today.

I gave a talk the other day to a group of GP/psychotherapists. They're the closest to the old time family doctor that it gets. They look after their patients' medical needs and at the same time offer counseling to those who are in distress.
And many patients are in distress. This hasn't changed in a hundred years. I have a photo of an old-style family doctor in Texas around 1940. He's holding his pipe in his hands and looking reflectively at the camera. Men and women such as this were local heroes, venerated by the population – not because they could cure terrible diseases because in 1940 there was very little they could cure. But because they listened patiently to the stories of their distressed patients and occasionally offered advice, though of the two functions, listening is the more important.
Just being listened to by someone you admire and look up to is very therapeutic. And often that's what GP/psychotherapists do today. There's nothing practical they can do for their patients, who need new husbands, more money, teenagers who aren't assholes.

Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Mon, 2004-03-15 17:26. :: Security
Version 1.0
This document describes how to install chkrootkit and portsentry. It should work (maybe with slight changes concerning paths etc.) on all *nix operating systems.
Chkrootkit "is a tool to locally check for signs of a rootkit" (from http://www.chkrootkit.org).
"The Sentry
tools provide host-level security services for the Unix platform. PortSentry,
Logcheck/LogSentry, and HostSentry protect against portscans, automate log file
auditing, and detect suspicious login activity on a continuous basis" (from
This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.
This document comes without warranty of any kind!
1 Get the Sources
We need the following software: chkrootkit, portsentry and logcheck. We will install the software from the /tmp directory.
cd /tmp
2 Install Chkrootkit
mv chkrootkit.tar.gz /usr/local/
You will now find the chkrootkit program under /usr/local/chkrootkit. Run it by typing
cd /usr/local/chkrootkit/ && ./chkrootkit
Your output will look something like this:
If a worm, rootkit, etc. is found this is indicated by the string INFECTED (in capital letters).
If you want to get the output of chkrootkit once a day per email at 3 am you can put the following line in root's cron file (the location depends on your distribution; under Debian it is under /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root; you might also find it under /var/spool/cron/tabs/root or something similar):
0 3 * * * (cd /usr/local/chkrootkit; ./chkrootkit 2>&1 | mail -s "chkrootkit output" email@example.com)
Then run
chmod 600 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
3 Install Portsentry
cd /tmp
Portsentry will be installed to /usr/local/psionic/portsentry/.
Edit /usr/local/psionic/portsentry/portsentry.conf and specify the ports you want portsentry to protect:
It should be ports that are not in use on the system. E.g., if you use IMAP (port 143 TCP) on the server you should remove 143 from the list above. The rest of portsentry.conf is well commented, but normally the default values should work.
Now we need to create an init script for portsentry (/etc/init.d/portsentry). We will run portsentry in advanced stealth mode as it is the most powerful way to detect portscans:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/portsentry
In order to start portsentry at boot time do the following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/portsentry
Now we start portsentry:
/etc/init.d/portsentry start
Please note: If you run portsentry chkrootkit might complain about an infected bindshell:
Checking `bindshell'...
This is normal and nothing to worry about.
4 Install Logcheck
cd /tmp
Now change the variable SYSADMIN in logcheck.sh. SYSADMIN is the person that will receive logcheck's output per email (this can be an email address or a user on the system where you install logcheck on):
This will install logcheck under /usr/local/etc.
Now we have to create a cron job in order to run logcheck periodically. Edit root's cron file (e.g. /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root, see section 2 "Install Chkrootkit") and enter the following line:
0 3 * * * /usr/local/etc/logcheck.sh
Then run
chmod 600 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
This will invoke
logcheck once a day at
3 am. It will now inform you about unusual system events, security violations,
system attacks, etc. If your system is exposed directly to the internet you
will notice that there are lots of malicious activities in the internet, and
you will get a feeling why security is very important.
