Review of the 2007 Kia Spectra
The 2007 Kia Spectra is a decent car with a great warranty but newer competitors offer more in terms of equipment, safety and desirability.

Low price, comfortable and functional cabin, lots of storage and cupholders.

Full 2007 Kia Spectra Review
What's New for 2007
The 2007 Kia Spectra and Spectra 5 hatchback receive minor interior and exterior tweaks on all models, including a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and an available auxiliary audio input jack.
Though an also-ran in the compact economy car market for much of its earlier life, the Kia Spectra has recently become a much better choice. A full redesign midway through 2004 added a significant bump in quality and noticeable advances in the vehicle's powertrain and suspension setup.
The 2007 Kia Spectra receives a minor exterior freshening. The base LX and EX models have a revised front fascia, grille, bumper and headlamps. The EX also offers a rear spoiler and new 15-inch alloy wheels. The SX and Spectra5 hatchback, which are Kia's sporty image leaders, now come with standard 16-inch alloy wheels, tasteful metal-finish accents in the cabin and an optional six-disc CD changer.
The compact car market, however, is highly competitive. Sales leaders like the Honda Civic and Mazda 3 remain on top because of a significant difference in looks, refinement and performance. However, if you're a budget shopper just wanting a well-rounded economy sedan or hatchback, the 2007 Kia Spectra should definitely be on your list of test drives.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The Kia Spectra is available as a sedan or hatchback (Spectra5). There are three trim levels. The base LX is pretty light on features; go with the EX to get air-conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry and rear cupholders. The sporty SX (the only trim offered for the Spectra5) adds a sport-tuned suspension 16-inch alloy wheels and bigger tires, foglights, rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, cruise control, metal-finish interior accents and cloth sport seats. Major options include a six-disc CD changer and a sunroof.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2007 Kia Spectra comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, with a four-speed automatic transmission available on all models except the LX sedan. EPA fuel mileage ratings are respectable at 25 mpg city/34 mpg highway for the automatic transmission.
The Kia Spectra stands out from the pack with a long list of standard safety equipment built into a low price. It comes with standard front seat-mounted airbags, front-and-rear side curtain airbags and a tire-pressure monitoring system. Antilock brakes are optional on SX and Spectra5 models. In government crash tests, the Spectra earned a four-star rating for front and front-side impact protection. Rear side-impact protection rates three stars only. The IIHS rated the Spectra "Acceptable" (second best) for frontal-offset safety and "Poor" for side-impact safety.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 2007 Kia Spectra offers a simple cabin layout with easy-to-use (and reach) controls and good build and materials quality. The seats are comfortable and the storage cubbies and cupholders are generous in size. The Spectra5 boasts an 18.3-cubic-foot cargo area, but one hitch is the sedan's paltry trunk, which only offers 12.2 cubic feet of space.
Driving Impressions
The Spectra provides a very pleasant drive overall. The four-cylinder engine has enough muscle and a healthy amount of torque delivered right off the line for getting around town. Unfortunately, engine noise is a bit intrusive at higher revs. The manual gearbox is adequate, but the four-speed automatic does not provide the quickest gearchanges. The SX and Spectra5 distinguish themselves with tighter handling and stiffer suspension while also retaining an overall soft ride quality.

IAEA Statements of Conclusions of Inspections in Australia.
During 199899 the IAEA carried out inspections in four of Australias five Material Balance Areas (MBAs): AS-A; AS-B; AS-C; and AS-D. The IAEA provides statements of conclusions of these inspections under Article 91(b) of Australias NPT Safeguards Agreement.
Article 91(b) statements for inspections conducted during 199798 stated the following conclusions (Activity 3 applies only to MBAs A and D).
At the time of printing, only the statement for AS-D had been received for inspections conducted in 1998-99 (March and June). This stated the conclusions above and we have no reason to expect different conclusions will be reached for the other MBAs.
The only material unaccounted for (MUF) declared for the year was a small quantity of enriched uranium in AS-C, as noted in Output A.
Explanatory note on MBA AS-E
This MBA covers all locations in Australia, except ANSTO at Lucas Heights, where safeguardable nuclear material is present.
No IAEA statement under Article 91(b) of Australias NPT Safeguards Agreement is provided for this MBA since the IAEA has not inspected the nuclear material located there. This is because the quantities are too small to be of proliferation significance and in most cases have been exempted from active safeguards or have had safeguards terminated in accordance with the Agreement (Articles 36, 37, 38 and 39 of the Agreement refer).

Recipes that work.
Cook's Illustrated is dedicated to developing foolproof recipes for America's favorite home-cooked meals. And unlike glossy cooking magazines that are staffed by food stylists, Cook's Illustrated employs test cooks, editors, and food writers. Our test kitchen — the same kitchen in which we film our top-rated public television show, America's Test Kitchen — has three dozen full-time test cooks whose 9 to 5 job (well maybe 7 to 6 on baking days) is testing and retesting recipes 20, 30, sometimes 50 times until we can offer our readers a recipe we're confident will work. Every time you make it. They are "Recipes that Work".
We also offer ratings and reviews of cookware and kitchen equipment to inform you how different models compare and compete so that you can shop smart. We taste test supermarket ingredients and kitchen staples you use every day, so you know which brands taste best, and which are best avoided. And because Cook's Illustrated is 100% advertising FREE, you get unbiased, objective information. That's our promise to you.
For potato salad that's both creamy and light, do as the Austrians do: Ditch the mayo and look to the soup pot.
Achieving the proper consistency for both potatoes and sauce is not easy. Also, if you overcook the potatoes, they disintegrate when added to the dressing.
The best Austrian potato salad has a luxuriously thick, velvety dressing and potatoes that practically melt in your mouth.
We chose to use Yukon Golds because they had just enough starch to contribute creaminess to the salad without breaking up too readily. Many recipes call for cooking the potatoes in their skins to improve flavor, but we found this made very little difference. We peeled and cut them into pieces so they would cook evenly, then focused on how to cook them to the perfect degree of tenderness every time.
In a potato, individual cells are filled with starch and held together with pectin. As a potato cooks, the pectin weakens and cells begin to burst, releasing starch. We needed a way to release enough starch to thicken the sauce yet prevent the pectin from weakening so much that the potatoes fall apart. Pectin breakdown is inhibited in acidic environments, so adding vinegar to the cooking water allowed the potatoes to stay firm for several minutes after they softened. It also penetrated the potatoes as they cooked, heightening the tanginess of the finished dish.
This gave us an idea-rather than submerging the potatoes in a large pot of water, we simmered them in a shallow pan with chicken stock, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. This made the potatoes' doneness easier to monitor. We then reduced the cooking liquid and reserved some to use for the dressing. This allowed the potatoes to absorb the flavor of the simmering liquid, yielding a deeply flavored salad.
There was one more hurdle to clear before we achieved an ideal potato salad. Too much stirring allows an excess of starch to enter the mix, turning the potatoes gluey. To ensure that the same amount of starch was released from the spuds each time, we honed in on just a few of them. After our potatoes were cooked, we removed several and mashed them into the reserved cooking liquid until the mixture turned thick and creamy, then gently folded in the remaining potatoes. Bingo! This allowed us to create a sauce that was virtually identical from batch to batch.
For flavorings, we substituted sharp, salty cornichons for sauergurken, the hard-to-find lightly pickled cucumbers used in most Austrian potato salads. Red onion gave the salad mild sweetness and crunch, Dijon mustard added pungency, and chopped chives finished the dish.

Gossip Girl Round Table: "Crazy Cupid Love"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Welcome to our weekly Gossip Girl Round Table discussion! Below, our panelists gather to break down Monday night's episode (see our official Gossip Girl review from last night) in even greater detail.
In a Q&A session below, TVF CEO Eric Hochberger (Gossip Guy) editor Steve Marsi (Mister Meester) and staff writers Courtney Morrison, Christina Tran and Leigh Raines discuss "Crazy Cupid Love."
Weigh in with your take on the following topics after reading ours!
1. What was your favorite quote from the episode?
Courtney: Blair's references to the fun times in high school - the key to the pool, guitar hero and sushi bar birthday parties... oh how I miss high school GG. Somehow Queen B did not make a comment about the abundance of headbands at Nate's party. In my mind she did and it was a zinger.
Christina: I'm handing this one to Dorota even if her once upon a Polish beet field story was cut short.
Leigh: Georgina: "Under my stewardship, Gossip Girl has been a shell of her former self, like AOL or Courtney Love." Aww Georgie, I love when you speak in metaphors! Dorota's sexual beet story was a close second.
Steve: Gotta be Georgina telling Phillip he's been "uncharacteristically helpful" this week, then calling "not it" when Milo woke up, narrowly escaping having to put out on Valentine's Day. Phew!
Eric: I guess it was less of a quote and more of just Dan walking in on G.G.G. "You're Gossip Girl?" That obnoxiously loud ring tone. That whole scene.
2. So, Dair happened. Discuss.
Courtney: Even as a Chair cheerleader, I have to admit that it was pretty awesome. These two are the only characters as of late with a real build up into a friendship/hopeful relationship. I have seriously enjoyed their banter and their chemistry has been off the charts. Eric makes a point that this happens, of course, when they can't become an official couple, but I will take what I can get. B made a point about how great he has been to her, even if he does have a mop on his head. That was an earned and well deserved kiss. Let's keep it coming.
Christina: Honestly, I never thought that Gossip Girl would go there, and I've got to admit, it was kind of cool they did. Fans dared to Dair, and it actually happened! As we all know, a kiss is never just a kiss so I am kind of excited to see what happens next.
Leigh: I've gone on record that I'm a Chuck Bass fan, BUT I think the writers did a good job with last night's episode. It would've been annoying to keep teasing Dan and Blair, so I'm glad they're going to do it some justice. They are an intellectual match, he is attractive with shorter hair, and this is a teen soap, everyone will hook up at some point!
Steve: I'm impartial as far as who I want to end up together when the show ends, but I can appreciate the fact that we've been given a real love triangle with strong feelings extending each direction, rather than just nonsensical, contrived obstacles thrown in Chair's path. Okay, the pact and the dowry are totally contrived nonsense, but that's not Dan's fault! Dair is the real deal now, as is Chair. The fact that we legitimately don't know where the show's going with this is exciting.
Eric: Wow. Happy Valentine's Day Dair fans. I went on the Round Table record stating they'd never actually pair the couple together, but man was I wrong! And quite glad to be. Unfortunately, they finally decided to give us Dair during this awkward married period for B. That means they have to last a whole year and we know nothing makes it a whole season of Gossip Girl.
3. Which relationship will suffer most as a result of the Dair kiss: Chair, Derena, Blerena or Duck?
Courtney: Blerena. Chuck won't stay mad at Blair and it is Humphrey, so no big loss there for him. Dan is not going back down that path with Serena, I mean it is his stepsister. So now they can be officially over. But best friends aren't supposed to fight over a boy. Things are bound to get catty now.
Christina: Blerena! Hasn't B heard of "sisters before misters"? Then again, S would be a total hypocrite to get mad. Hello, Season 1. Maybe "hoes before bros" is more fitting.
Leigh: Blerena! Blair should know better. It didn't feel good when Serena banged Nate at the wedding on top of the bar, now did it? Hos before bros. Serena is your sister, make it right.
Steve: Blair and Serena, because the latter was just oblivious and blindsided. Chuck's totally used to undermining people in his way and fighting for Blair, so while having Humphrey as competition may be unexpected, it's not a game-changer. For Serena, though, it's clearly a blow she never saw coming from her BFF(s).
Eric: Oh poor Duck. You were just starting to blossom as a friendship that could have blossomed into something more impressive than even Date. And you threw it away for what? The woman of your dreams!?
4. Are the writers being true to Blair's character?
Courtney: I think so. Over the past few seasons, Blair has really matured. She no longer plots with her minions on the museum steps and she cares about other people besides herself. At this point, it wouldn't be true to her character if she didn't recognize the great friend she has gained and the feelings between them. We still have the best parts of B and that's all that matters.
Christina: It seems that way. To say the least, she's just a girl with a ton of guys vying for her love. And can you blame them? What's not to love about B?
Leigh: Now that the insufferable Louis is back in Monaco, I saw some of the old Blair humor come out. Please let it stay that way. I don't know if the writers have done her justice this season, but wardrobe did last night. She looks beautiful.
Steve: By having her acknowledge all the ways Dan's been there for her, absolutely. By not jetting off with Chuck before (or after) the wedding, and by becoming the submissive toward Louis in general? Not so much. The old Blair isn't gone, but she's certainly taken some weeks off. Hopefully the gang can get her out of this sham marriage soon. That's not helping.
Eric: Sure. First off, the amazing cupid plotting with Dorota was vintage B. Now the Dair kiss? She's being true to the same girl that succumbed to temptation in a limo. Only now, replace a relationship with Nate to a marriage to Louis. And a Chuck with my favorite Muppet.
5. Georgina as Gossip Girl 2.0: Intriguing or boring?
Courtney: I'm probably going to be hated in the comments, but boring. I have never been the biggest fan of Georgina, just because her character has always been over the top. I thought that this might giver her a better arc and make her fit better, but instead it feels forced. She either needs to shake up GG's info or leave the job to the original.
Christina: Boring! I can't wait for the real Gossip Girl to show up and send Georgina with bags and baby Milo in tow. I know there is a ton of Georgina love, but I still find her utterly annoying.
Leigh: Option 3, ridiculous, absurd, typical Georgina.
Steve: Georgina's great for one-liners, but her motives feel a bit inconsistent ... it made more sense when she loathed and wanted to bury Blair Waldorf out of revenge. Now she's just going after a huge scandal because it's her duty as Gossip Girl stand-in? It just feels slightly off, along with the fact that her cover was blown so easily.
Eric: Option three: hilarious. I mean, she's being beyond ridiculous and over-the-top as GG 2.0. In a word, she's being Georgina.
6. More unintentionally hilarious: Chuck seductively asking Alessandra for dirt on Dan, or Blair's "minder" gazing ominously at the wedding portrait?
Courtney: The "minder" was unintentionally hilarious for a few reasons: 1) She was never acknowledged by a name. 2) She sat in the bar alone texting Blair instead of actually minding her. 3) Her creepy gaze at the portrait. 4) Her covering Blair's face... she might as well cut her head out of the picture and taped hers in.
Christina: I'm going with the latter. That ridiculous scene with the "minder" made me also question who would ever fancy Louis.
Leigh: I was so happy to see Chuck seducing someone and not moping that he wins automatically.
Steve: Courtney and Eric's lists sum the Minder up perfectly, but I'm still going with Chuck. The fact that he tried to probe Alessandra for information in mid-seduction (versus the typical post-hookup pillow talk stage)? Amazing.
Eric: I could pick any minder scene for unintentional hilarity, but that final pining scene gave me the biggest laugh. 1) Who would ever be in love with Louis? 2) Do we really need another royal family scheme? 3) Acting classes?
7. Which Charlotte Rhodes do you like better, Lola or Ivy?
Courtney: Ivy, hands down. Mostly because I have a major girl crush on the raspy voiced vixen, but also because she has been taking care of Cece (and probably plotting to steal all of her money). I don't know enough about Lola to care yet.
Christina: Her name was Lola. She was a showgirl…Yes, I like her much better than Ivy.
Leigh: Love ChIvy, but I'm really into Lola these days. Their storyline is my favorite thing on the show right now. And now that Lola knows Ivy is impersonating her... it's goin' down.
Steve: As I said in my review, I'm loving Lola and her apparent obliviousness to the identity theft that's taken place. Plus, she's making Nate work for it ... and she's already becoming Ivy's Facebook stalker. Lola FTW!
Eric: Geesh, after spending half a season ripping on Chivy, she has to go ahead to and pull on my heartstrings by taking care of CeCe this whole time? I mean, it's still not going to make me switch my vote form Lola, but the little con artist is redeeming herself.

@Jasmine That's the writers for you, they've been ruining everyone.
Not going to watch GG anymore, the story is getting ridiculous and how they kept Blair and Chuck apart is ridiculous, few episodes before she was telling Chuck how much she love him and will always love him and now she is kissing Dan! Come on! Why did they make Blair so fickle and spoil the whole Chuck & Blair reunion that I am waiting for. Just makes Chuck and Blair's supposedly epic love looks like a joke now.
@doesitmatter? The same reason why they keep repeating the same back/forth crap with Chair, they don't know what to do. Any good writer would have the sense to actually develop the characters, but not these morons. Georgina is getting more and more disappointing every time we see her, she's supposed to be there to cause trouble by taking over for the old Gossip Girl. Don't worry, the writers are obviously going to find a way through character assassination and wreck the characters for their 'epic endgame' and continue with the never ending back/forth crap.
Georgina is worthless, only on the show maybe once a season, irrelevant, and stupid. Don't know why gossip girl writers like her and continue to put her back in. Also, Blair should put Dan over Serena, because Serena's reoccuring crush or love or whatever does not change the fact that Serena is self- absorbed, annoying, and usually pretty useless to the show, whereas Dan is a pretty good friend to Blair. (You know, minus releasing that video at her wedding thing... Pretty selfish) Either way I feel bad for Chuck. I feel like him and Blair are supposed to be endgame, even if I like Dair, but the plot is leading Chair away from even being plausible at this point. I want them together, but I don't even know how they'd connect anymore. So... Also Lola seems cool and Ivy is a lunatic.
@dover It used to be, not it's all relationship drama, and it's not done well at all.
@ Anonymous: Oh, I couldn't agree more about the Lily/Chuck thing. I wish they'd focus on family now instead of showing us this boring relationship drama. That's the worst thing about season 5. Friendships and family had to take a backseat for the romance. I want more family love! Let Nate, Serena and Chuck spend some moments together, the Van der Basses have their cute, heartwarming scenes and I'll be happy again!
@ALF: right back at you, and I word with several accountants and we get along nicely, you know college is, it can get really competitive, lol. White noise recaps are the best, TWOP are good too.
@pty I didn't know you worked in finance! More HIGH FIVES for my fellow business brethren. Though in undergrad accounting and finance majors disliked one another. Speaking of university: school's out forevvveerrrrr for the GG kids. I think they time jumped into their 40s at some point and didn't alert us. @Momo I can always, always go for a serving of Chily. Oh and those white noise recaps are awesome. They renewed my interest in GG. You all have to check them out!
@momo83 Yeah, Chuck is much more enjoyable like that. There's no more school for Gossip Girl apparently.
@Alf I don't know what the writers were thinking. Are the kids still in college? I guess not, how could they find time to be in school when they are too busy running the spectator, running the empire, being the princess of Monaco, and going on book tours. Oh I also forgot to mention, dodging between relationships. It was so exhausting just writing this out...lol.

My Denver dermatologist tells me that I don't need a facelift, and he can get the same result with a procedure done in his office under local anesthesia with no recovery and for a lot less money. What about that?
This brings to mind the idea that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Dr. Murphy has spent years scrutinizing each new "non-surgical" facelift that has come out. Certainly some of them have offered a degree of improvement in some patients. You as a patient must also evaluate these offerings. If you are willing to accept a lesser degree of improvement, or in some cases no improvement, then you may want to go ahead. And don't forget some of these procedures aren't particularly inexpensive. Many of them cost thousands of dollars and have not been proven by the test of time. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Murphy prefers to offer his patients time proven procedures, many with minimal recovery time due to refinements in technique, at reasonable costs. This has led to many happy patients who have returned for additional procedures or have referred family and friends. As a respected surgeon in the community, Dr. Murphy cannot afford to have unhappy patients because they have overpaid for a procedure that didn't work or offered only fleeting improvement in their appearance.
Where are the incisions, and will I need to have sutures removed?
Incisions are typically hidden in the hair behind the ear and along the hairline above the ear to maintain as much sideburn as possible. Facelift incisions go around the ear and dip inside the ear in the front to help break up the suture lines Some patients require an incision beneath the chin to allow access to the neck area to tighten up the muscles in front. Stitches in front of the ear are removed after five or six days and skin clips in the scalp are removed in approximately ten days.
When will I be back out in public?
The recovery and return to activity after a facelift is determined by how you look rather than how you feel. There certainly is some discomfort over the first few days, but it is generally quite easily controlled by the prescribed pain medication. Your return to your normal activities is more determined by swelling and bruising and by your personal feelings about how you want to look as you venture forth. A lot of the swelling will be resolved within eight to ten days, which is when most patients resume more normal activities. Bruising generally resolves in three weeks but it can be fairly easily covered with make-up prior to total resolution. Many patients prefer to wait until the bruising has disappeared before attending any major social events, or if they want to look their best before being seen by their friends.
Will my friends notice I have had a facelift?
Dr. Murphy's frequent answer to this question is, " I hope so." Of course the degree of change in your appearance after facial rejuvenative surgery depends on how aged your face and skin are prior to the surgery. The ultimate goal is that you look like yourself, just more youthful or rested. Patients often report to Dr. Murphy that their friends tell them that they look rested or rejuvenated.
What are the possible complications of a facelift?
Infection or bleeding rarely occur, infection being particularly rare. Numbness over the cheek and neck areas is common after a facelift and usually resolves over a period of months, although it is not uncommon to have some fairly minimal permanent numbness along the areas of the incisions. Permanent numbness of larger areas, in particular of the ears, occurs less that 1% of the time. Other nerves which can be injured during a facelift are those that go to your muscles of facial expression. Dr. Murphy has had a few patients over the years who experienced slight temporary weakness of the facial muscles to the upper lip areas that has taken a couple of weeks to resolve Smokers are at increased risk of areas of poor healing that may lead to poor quality scars after a facelift. It is not uncommon to have areas of temporary hair loss around the incisions as the hair follicles go into a resting phase, but the hair typically regrows over a period of months.
How long will my facelift last?
The length of time that patients enjoy a satisfactory improvement after a facelift depends on many factors such as the quality of their skin when we start, including the degree of sun damage or loss of elasticity. Smokers typically have the worst quality skin. Older patients will see an earlier return of laxity, while younger patients will see more long-lasting improvement. It is unusual for a patient to return less than ten years after a facelift.
Are there any differences with men having facelifts?
Definitely. At the time of facelift surgery in Denver we need to take into account a number of anatomic differences between women and men to assure the best result. Due to the vascularity of the beard, men are at slight increased risk for bleeding but they also seem to heal a bit more quickly, with less bruising and quicker resolution of swelling. Facelift incisions need to be different to avoid hairy ears. There are issues regarding shaving after facelift surgery due to mobilization and repositioning of the hair-bearing cheek skin. These issues are emphasized during Dr. Murphy's consultations with men who desire the improvements facial plastic surgery can offer.

The Kid-Dish: Busy Philipps Welcomes Second Daughter, Rachel Zoe is Not Pregnant
All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
- Mazel Tov to Busy Philipps and her screenwriter husband Marc Silverstein, who welcomed their second daughter last week. The couple is still working on a name, but Busy tweeted this sweet photo to her fans with the caption, "So this happened…" (People)
- David Duchovny was spotted with his kid, Kyd (see what I did there?) having breakfast in Malibu. The write-up includes the following line: "Before heading in for breakfast they chatted with a man dressed as a warrior." Because of course. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
– Last month People reported that celebrity stylist and reality star Rachel Zoe was pregnant with her second child, but when congratulated by a paparrazzo, Zoe said she was not. (Celebrity People Scoop)
– If you're looking for that perfect mommy-and-me outfit and like to spend $100 on a kids shirt, then the new line Gwyneth Paltrow designed for LemLem is perfect! (People)
– Not Jewish, but this royal baby watch is out of control. Be sure to check out the slideshow of chairs and video cameras set up outside the hospital. Any day now, the baby will be born and millions of people will have no idea what to talk about. (Huffington Post)

Mickey Rourke Already Wasting His Newfound Clout
Plus: McG gets wet.

Plus: McG gets wet.
See what Solange Knowles, Mickey Rourke, Speidi, and more wore on New Year's Eve.
We're not really sure we're buying this one.
Aronofsky rapped to Vulture about his new movie and how a Ratt song can enhance the emotional texture of a bar scene.
'The Wrestler' is the first role to fully exploit the gruesomeness of Rourke's real-life appearance.
Conclusion? It's pretty real!
Bobby Brown: 'The word on the street is that I'm well-endowed.'
At separate events, actually. And likely with separate hip-injury results.
Yes, the state's A.G. and the trailer-trash food queen are all up in each other's Cool-Whipped manicotti! Plus, Claus von Bulow was sad to hear of the death of the wife he may have tried to kill decades ago. In the gossip roundup!
That's what Alec Baldwin said! Plus, Eva Amurri and Julianne Moore are putting themselves and others at risk. And a depressing Gary Coleman item that we put at the very bottom.
Will doubts over the veracity of their shilling hurt them at Oscar time?
Plus: Mickey Rourke's pretty sure the ladies will like his new movie.
Mickey Rourke's Oscar buzz has plateaued a bit, so now seems like a pretty good time to release the trailer.
Plus: Important Tom Selleck news!
Even so, this movie doesn't sound too bad.
Plus: Mickey Rourke learns a very important lesson.
Thank God — we thought we'd get to October without having some declarative predictions!
That's the way love goes, we guess? Speaking of which: ScarJo got married! And more, in today's gossip roundup.
The socialite will finally have a reason for being famous. Plus, the end of Hef and Holly, and Michael Lohan continues to be bonkers, in our daily gossip roundup.
Come December, everybody's going to be talking about this movie — but who wants to wait that long?

Women's Complaints about Men
2. They are not sensitive to feelings and needs.
3. They are not affectionate enough.
4. They do not communicate enough. They do not express their feelings and thoughts.
5. They do not pay enough attention to their partners.
6. They do not spend enough time at home with their children.
7. They do not help with order and cleanliness of the home.
8. They do not appreciate the work involved in keeping up the home or in bearing and bringing up children and do not compensate this contribution to family life.
9. They make decisions about work and life without regarding the woman's or the family's needs.
10. They create extramarital relationships.
Men's Complaints about Women
1. Women complain, criticize and nag too much.
2. They try to control and suppress men.
3. They are seldom happy.
4. They tend to withhold as a punishment or blackmail.
5. They do not think logically, but emotionally.
6. Their emotions are not predictable but change quickly.
7. They tend to gossip.
8. They, too, create extramarital relationships.
9. They are not home enough (which for some men means - continuously)
10. They are not taking enough care of the home.
Where is this attitude driving the society? What do you complain about most?

Well unfortunately we (Mike and me)know some of those complaints as well and we work on them. But some are not true like I don't like gossip at all.

As long as there have been humans, there have been complainers. I am not sure that I would characterize my culture that way, but one could make a valid argumment, I think. Most of us complain from time to time, I think. I try to catch myself when I seem to be complaining and stop myself before I get too far.
I have learned that life is what you think it is. If you think your life is miserable, then you will be miserable. The mind is powerful. We have a choice - to take our thoughts captive and stay positive, no matter what comes our way. OR we can fall into habits of negative thoughts and behaviors. If we do the latter, we can blame no one for our miseries but ourselves.
I think the thing I like most about the site you reference, Shi, is the page on Humour and Psychology. There is some great stuff there!
By the way, people who view the differences between the sexes with a bit of humor might enjoy these posts:
Rules that guys wish women knew

for #9... c'mon.. it's the year of 2006. why does it sound like a jail now?
for #10... again, it's their home, too, why not taking part of it? after all, who leave the socks everywhere on the floor?
- At 05:32, said...
You're asking why we complain, but it seems to be mainly why we complain about the opposite sex. Is it 'why do we complain', or is it 'why do we complain about different things?'
We complain about different things because we are different. Nature creates what is needed, and never creates what is not needed. The differences in men's and women's behaviors exist because the differences serve a purpose. A man does not feel a nesting instinct the same way as a woman does because to provide for a family and protect a home, he may have to leave them. He does not show his feelings as easily as a woman does because some of the things that men have had to do requires them to be cold. Nature made us different because we need those differences to survive, and even if some of the reasons no longer exist, no one can just turn them off.
An understanding of the forces in nature that shaped our development may allow us to appreciate the different ways we have both contributed to our society and allow us to change our ways. If we don't bother to understand why, we will continue to follow the instincts that have been bred into us for generations, whether they're useful today or not, and continue to complain.

Oh men and women - how desperately both want each other but still complain of others indifference. The differences notwithstanding, they both need each other. But complain they will because of biological differences which make their thinking at tangent to each others.
Despite all odds, they still enjoy the nosing and complaining and sometimes it is fun (but not most of the time). I only wished they thought of each other more "mercifully"

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? What do you have going on this week?
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 8:20am
My il's came up on Friday and my fil and dh got a lot more done on our new kitchen floor. It looks really great! On Saturday the insurance adjuster came, so hopefully we'll have a check fairly soon and we can start getting the repairs done on the house. On Sunday Alex had fencing and then my parents came up and installed a new microwave they got us for our anniversary.
This week will just be work, work, work and school. DirecTV is coming today to see if they can install a new satellite dish, though with the damage to the roof we're not sure where they would be able to mount it. We're keeping our fingers crossed, though. I miss TV! That's it for us.

Our weekend was pretty good- didn't do too much so it was nice. This week is a busy one. Jacob had speech yesterday. Today he has trombone lessons and I have class. Thursday I have a PTA meeting and Friday night I'm going out to dinner with a friend. Have a great week, everyone!

Science, Technology, Engineering & Math | News
The Archer School for Girls has gone public with its new Idea Lab, a space designed to encourage science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning.
Launched at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, the "Lab offers students hands-on activities and instruction which synthesize knowledge across educational domains, combining what students learn in science and math with new technical skills, analytical methods, creativity-building exercises and real-world problem-solving techniques," according to a news release.
Supporting Archer's school-wide integrated design and engineering arts program, activities offered through the lab include building prototypes, computer programming, discrete electronics and developing project management skills.
At Archer, students are introduced to STEM fields such as coding, research and engineering in grade 7 and "many" later "become candidates for the Honors Research in Science program," according to the news release.
"It's not enough to simply encourage girls to enroll in high-level math and science courses. Girls' engagement and success in the STEM disciplines depend largely on the nature and quality of the curriculum and instruction," said Head of School Elizabeth English, in a prepared statement. "As a girls' school, we have a special responsibility to change the fact that women are still underrepresented in the sciences, particularly in computer and engineering sciences."
In an effort to encourage interest in areas traditionally thought of as appealing to boys, the school's "curriculum frequently resonates to larger global issues, calling for altruistic and humanitarian involvement," according to information released by Archer, focuses on a collaborative approach to achievement rather than competitive, and creates "curricula where girls independently choose and develop their own projects, project benchmarks and criteria for evaluation."
The lab is currently being expanded to help broaden Archer's engineering and design initiatives. Half the funds for the expansion were raised from supporters of the school and the rest, for a total of $100,000, came from a matching grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation.
More from English on Archer's Idea Lab is available at eyetoeyewithelizabethenglish.tumblr.com.

This is random. Samantha Who? star, Christina Applegate, was caught hooking up with her ex-husband, Jonathon Schaech, at Les Deux on Friday. According to a spy for People.com, "They just made out all of a sudden. They didn't really look around to see who was looking, it just happened, but it wasn't that weird after. They just went along talking to friends and separated soon after and both kept partying."
Christina was hanging out with friends Eva Longoria and Grey's Anatomy's Sara Ramirez, and didn't seemed phased by the old flame reigniting. Perhaps attraction wasn't one of the problems the couple encountered in their marriage, which officially ended in August?

Diabetes Cookbook For Canadians For Dummies
For the more than two million Canadians who have diabetes, eating a balanced, nutritious diet is an essential part of maintaining good health. If you have diabetes, there are some great Web sites that you can consult for recipes, meal planning suggestions, and nutritional information. You can also follow some helpful tips when preparing food at home or eating out at a restaurant, so that no matter where you are, you can maintain a healthy diet and keep your diabetes in check.
Recipe and Nutrition Web Sites for Canadians with Diabetes
A number of excellent Web sites provide healthy eating tips and recipes for Canadians with diabetes. Visit the reference links below to find nutritional information and recommendations from The Canadian Diabetes Association, Health Canada, and other reliable sources, and check out the recipe links for lots of healthy diabetes meal planning ideas.
References for Canadians with diabetes
Here are some resources for finding information about diabetes and nutrition:

The following links take you to Web sites that offer food and diet ideas for healthy living with diabetes:
Healthy Eating at Home: Tips for Canadians with Diabetes
One of the best ways to manage diabetes is by being conscious of your diet — which is a lot easier to do if you're eating your own food at home. Here are some handy tips for keeping your healthy diet on track and in line with the Canadian recommendations when eating and preparing meals at home.
Eat breakfast every day.
Limit your use of margarine or butter.
Use light mayonnaise instead of margarine or butter on your bread. Just one teaspoon of margarine or butter has 35 calories and a teaspoon of light mayonnaise has 15 calories.
If you're going to be adding peanut butter to your toast, don't also use margarine or butter. Stick to the peanut butter alone.
Use salsa or light sour cream on top of a baked potato instead of butter or margarine.
Bake, broil, roast, microwave, or stir fry more often; avoid deep frying.
Remember that with easier access to food in the home (compared to a restaurant), you need to keep an eye on how much food you're eating.
Tips for Eating Out in Restaurants for Canadians with Diabetes
Having diabetes can make eating out at a restaurant quite challenging. It can be hard to find foods that are diabetes-friendly, but increasingly Canadian restaurants are offering healthier food options. Here are some strategies you can follow to make eating out a healthful, not harmful, experience:
Choose foods in the appropriate amounts from the different food groups.
Resist the temptation to be super-sized.
Ask the wait staff how big the portions are. If the portions are large, try one of the following:
Share the serving with your dinner-mate
Eat half and take the other half home for your next day's lunch
Order the lunch sized portion for your dinner
Order a kid's sized serving.
Avoid all you can eat buffets.
When ordering a salad, ask for low-calorie dressings like oil and vinegar on the side so you can choose how much to put on.
Ask to see the nutritional information and look at the content of the various food choices you're considering. Also, often restaurant menus have symbols to let you know what are healthier food choices.
Make sure the wait staff are paying attention when you order a diet soft drink.
Order baked, steamed, or broiled foods, tomato-based dishes, grilled chicken, or fish (non-battered).
For sandwiches, choose chicken, turkey, pastrami, or Black Forest ham. Ask for extra lettuce, tomatoes, or other vegetables to be added. If mayonnaise is being used, ask for light mayo and have them apply it to only one piece of bread. Choose a whole grain bun, pita, or wrap.
For dessert, order a piece of fruit or a fruit salad.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
By KBB.com Editors
Perhaps perfection has its limits, but Mercedes-Benz believes differently and proves it with the latest iteration of its flagship four-seat coupe, the 2010 CL550. Along with the cachet that comes with driving this $100,00-plus automobile is the acknowledgement that its fluid, flowing lines are accompanied by superb V8 performance and one of the most dazzling arrays of hi-tech equipment ever packed into a single vehicle. The successful entrepreneur's dream car, the CL-Class is neither showy nor obviously exotic. It demonstrates an arrival at the serious end of capitalism, and offers the visionary leader who likes to call all the shots a COMAND brain that, with a button on the console to press or rotate, can set a myriad of personal function preferences, including suspension settings. Other CL models include the twin-turbo V12 CL600 and the CL63 and CL65 AMG twins.
If you're looking for the size, safety and status of an S-Class, but prefer the intimacy only a true coupe can provide, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL tops a very short contender's list.
If you're not much of a reader, the 700-page owner's manual offers a daunting prospect. The Cockpit Management and Data System (COMAND), which controls navigation, audio, telephone, seat massage, suspension and other crucial settings, requires studying no less than 240-plus pages to decipher the different functions.
For 2010, all CL's receive new audio systems with integrated Bluetooth, HD radio, four-gigabyte music register and USB and SD card slots. Also new is a wood and leather steering wheel and larger outside mirrors. All non-AMG models receive a new steering system – called Direct Steer – that employs variable ratio gearing within the steering rack, delivering better on-center and high-speed feedback.
Driving Impressions Standard driving practices are not necessarily applicable to the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL550. By allowing the driver to pre-set dozens of preferences, the COMAND system can tailor the car to an...individual driving style and preferred comfort level. The result is one of the best combinations of ride and handling we've ever experienced. Even at high speeds the car glides as smoothly as a Venetian gondola, the transmission traveling seamlessly through its seven gears. The active body control suspension is especially effective, hydraulically adjusting all four wheels depending upon driving situations. You can also electronically set following distance and lane changing, but the system is not infallible and may not detect vehicles not in its sightline.
Drive-Dynamic Seats
When driving around curves and corners, the seat side bolsters automatically inflate to steady the body from hip to armpit. The twistier the road, the more insistent the air pressure.
Complex until thoroughly understood, it is the brains behind the CL550's entertainment, GPS, radio, communications and component settings systems. Via the controller "mouse," menus are displayed on an eight-inch pivoting screen.
In the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL550, luxury abounds door-to-door, floor-to-roof, from the high-gloss wood trim to the small silver dashboard clock elegant enough to wear as a dress watch. The leather-trimmed aviation-style cockpit is divided by a wide center console that holds the COMAND controller. The monitor for GPS, satellite radio, emergency calls and other functions crowns the instrument area and also displays Park, Neutral, Reverse and Drive after you've shifted the small, delicate shift lever. The rear seats are full-sized, but legroom might be snug if the front occupants require anything more than average legroom.Exterior
Mercedes-Benz is to be congratulated for the restraint shown in styling its flagship coupe. The roofline sweeps smoothly from windshield to rear window without the interruption of a B-pillar. The two heavy doors open exceptionally wide, and Mercedes-Benz has figured out a clever electronic assistance for smaller persons, who may have difficulty in reaching out to close them. The signature grille and fender flares are toned down by the understated wedged body design, and the integrated trunk lid rounds off the aerodynamic styling at which the German manufacturer excels.
In addition to the long list of standard equipment one expects in a premium luxury car, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL550 stands out for its 4MATIC all-wheel drive and improved COMAND system. Performance and handling features include an adaptive gearshift, programmable suspension, Parktronic, Keyless Go, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, an electronic trunk closer, heated and ventilated front seats, an electronic stability control system and steering wheel shift paddles. Among the nine airbags is a full-length head protection curtain.
Distronic Plus is a programmable cruise control system with two onboard radar sensors to detect slower-moving vehicles ahead, as well as vehicles hidden in the driver's blind spot. The system is so fool proof it will even brake the car to a complete stop if necessary. Brake Assist Plus warns of imminent rear collisions, and Park Assist is radar-controlled. Another helpful option is Night View Assist, which illuminates the road up to 500 feet ahead with infrared light and displays the view on a high-resolution screen in the instrument cluster. Among packaged options are the Sport and Sport Package Plus One packages that include front and rear sport bumpers, side skirts and AMG-style wheels.
Under the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL550's hood dwells a demon of an engine, yet the 5.5-liter V8 is extremely quiet as it purrs out 382 horsepower. Zero-to-60 mph is achieved in 5.4 seconds, an improvement of one second over its predecessor and a result of 26-percent more power. The seven-speed gearbox enables the coupe to maximize fuel economy and increases the pace of the transmission's reaction time. In Sport Mode the active suspension automatically lowers the car more than a half-inch to reduce lean in the corners.
5.5-liter V8

"I love my Mercedes for many reasons, but it didn't start out that way. I bought my 2008 CL550 almost 5 years ago now. I bought her used with 18K miles. Good thing, I purchased it CPO then as the 1st year I owned my car, was pure Frustration. I had this car @ the dealer almost every other month fixing all the problems. I practically had most the car replaced (even the drvier's seat)-believe it or not! However, once I got most of the gremlins out, It has been a JOY to drive and keep. I am 6'2 tall, and it fits me perfectly. I can't tell you how hard it is to find a car that I can feel comfortable in, legroom and all. There is the high quality materials and mood lightening around the interior which I like. I have the Designo Graphite Package with Natural Oak Wood Trim and Corteccia. Its so exclusive that I think they told me there are only 1 other car like mine in the whole USA! The Natural Oak wood & Corteccia in contrast to the leather seats is eye catching for sure. I also have the 20" AMG wheels on my CL550. There have few times I been stopped on the street and complimented for my car's beauty. (One guy even wanted to buy it on the spot!) There are not many other cars I would trade it in for at this point. I just love the luxury and comfort of this car."
