In the Fae world, Hale is a handsome male "Siren" - capable of swaying (or harming) others with his beautiful voice. He's the eternal bachelor and the ultimate wingman, never afraid to flirt with the ugly girl at the bar so you can go home with her hot friend. All Zen and charming, Hale's greatest strength is understanding politics - when he was Dyson's partner on the force he did his best to protect impatient Dyson from getting himself in trouble with their human or Fae bosses. It's an impossible task, at times...especially when someone as volatile and unpredictable as Bo (and her sidekick, Kenzi) are involved. That gift of politics translated into Hale's big career move....from cop to the Ash, head of the Light Fae clan.
Kenzi proves, with the ultimate gesture, that shes the best friend a succubus could ever ask for.
Dyson accompanies Bo to investigate the source of all evil only to have the script flipped on him.

Jess Cagle's First Big People Mag Decision: No More Unsanctioned Celebrity Kid Pics
This is quite honestly the best thing we've read in weeks. It's also an editorial directive that should compel Alec Baldwin to WOOT! loud enough to be heard in suburbia.
Incoming People magazine editorial director Jess Cagle today explains how he quickly decided after arriving in January that the publication would no longer make use of guerilla-style photos of the young sons and daughters of celebrities. From his Editor's Letter:
The editors at People have always been careful when dealing with photos of kids, but in the past few months our sensitivity has been significantly heightened, and our editorial practices have changed accordingly. When I took over as editorial director in January, I told our staff that People would not publish photos of celebs' kids taken against their parents' wishes, in print or online.

It's too damned hot
It's too damned hot
I'd like to swoon with my baby tonight,
But it's too damned hot
America is sweltering. It is 115 back on the East Coast, say the papers. Local governments are mobilizing to try to prevent people from getting cooked. Boston is even said to have a system of automatic phone calls, urging people to check on their neighbors. And thus has even the spirit of neighborliness been hollowed out in the modern world, reduced to a phone message from a machine.
We recall the news from New Orleans after the flood. Six weeks after the event, a man finally decided to check on his own mother. There she was, it turned out, right where he left her — in her bedroom. But she was less talkative. Less warm and friendly. Less energetic. She'd been dead for at least five weeks. Too bad New Orleans didn't think of that automatic phone system.
The heat is said to be putting a strain on everything: energy, nerves, and money. Our guess is that everything is under strain already. The latest figures show consumer spending still going up, but barely. Meanwhile, inflation — even by the Fed's measure — is at its highest level in four years. If we're right, the higher prices and higher mortgage payments (minimum payments are now about 50% higher than they were a year ago) are forcing consumers to cut back. Consumer spending is two-thirds of the entire economy, so any pullback by consumers means an economic slump. Rising prices added to slowing economy equals stagflation.
If you are going to fight stagflation, you have a choice: you can strike at the stag or the 'flation, but not both at the same time. The stag needs lower interest rates to kill it; the 'flation thrives on them. To kill 'flation takes higher rates, but high rates just make the stag stagger even more. Is that clear, dear reader? Never mind. The point is, you have to fight one and then the other. And the one you have to eliminate first is inflation. To fight the stag you're going to need some kind of stimulus. But the stimulus won't work as long as people expect it to increase prices. Central bank legerdemain only succeeds by trickery. When people catch on, the magic disappears.
So, the Fed has to go after inflation. That is why Ben Bernanke has been raising rates; he knows he has to have inflation under control or he can't fight deflation. Short rates have been notched up 450 basis points already — the most in 40 years. Is 'flation' beaten? Not according to the news reports.
But we will take an additional guess. Our guess is that the Fed cannot pursue the fight against inflation — even if it hasn't yet won, because the stag is staggering. The marginal consumer's knees are wobbling. He is feeling the heat already. Beads of sweat are on his forehead. His hands shake. Raise rates again and he will fall on his face. The rate hikes are over.
Ed. Note: Stagflation — the investment killer — is rearing its ugly head once again…but you don't have to let it crush your wallet. In fact, we have 11 simple, low-risk investment ideas to arm yourself with to keep your portfolio healthy for the rest of the year. Find out what lies ahead for our economy and what strategies you can use to make the second part of 2006 more profitable than the first:
A Midyear Update for an Insane Economy
u2022 It is the good ol' summertime here at Ouzilly. This has nothing to do with money, but in the summer we permit ourselves a little more lighthearted commentary on things that really matter.
We got back from Vancouver on Saturday. Maria came back from her acting camp in Italy on Monday. Jules and Henry came back from Paris on the weekend. Edward was here already, enjoying playing with his cousin…and the four children of a friend from America.
At dinner last night, we had a liberal feminist from New York seated next to a fundamentalist Christian…and, of course, the family itself…each with his or her own view of how things should be done. Our fundamentalist friend said grace; our liberal friend looked embarrassed…or was it contemptuous? It was like she was expecting an art show and found herself in a tent revival.
We always encourage people to visit in August. It is the only month we are reliably in one place, with a little time on our hands to visit. But the group is usually so large, we need help in the kitchen. This year, we advertised, and got Carol, a woman from Alabama. Rather than typical French fare, we're having grits, biscuits and fried green tomatoes — helped along with a flood tide of cheap Gaillac wine.
Yesterday, Carol found some pigs feet in the freezer and cooked them for dinner.
"Eeewww…" came the protests.
But Carol redeemed herself with the dessert course — a rich pound cake. "Hmmm…" came the approvals.
So, we are rediscovering American cuisine. And rediscovering each other.
"Play something for us, Jules," said Elizabeth after dinner. We recalled when Jules sang a solo in church at the age of eight. His voice was so pure, so perfect and true, it brought the parishioners to tears. Now, at 18, his voice has lost its choirboy timbre, but it is still true. This time, he sang "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, accompanying himself on the guitar. Again, we were all misty-eyed at the end.
Every child has the ability to bring his parents to tears, Jules more than most.
Jules doesn't think he should have to work in the summer.
"Why should I?" asked Jules, "Dad is always getting me to help him with his own projects…like that stonewall. But he could perfectly well hire someone to do it. It's just a form of egotism…to make others do what you want them to do. It's not a necessity for the family. We don't need that wall. I don't care if it's never built. And, besides, he could certainly pay a professional to do it. I'm not a child any more, and I don't think I should be forced to do this kind of thing."
"No…Jules," we replied. "We don't think you should be forced to do it either. We think you should do it because you want to help."
"But I don't want to help…" came Jules response.
u2022 "Yes, poor, Clothilde," said Pierre yesterday, bringing us up to date on a common friend. "She was diagnosed with breast cancer. She's very religious, so she prayed to the Virgin Mary and hoped for the best. But it wasn't enough. And she seems to have waited too long…now the cancer has spread.
"But that isn't the whole story. She's also in love with a local guy. You know, she's over 45 and I guess she must be feeling a little like this is her last chance. And she's been pining for this guy for years. So, when the doctor advised her to get a mastectomy, she figured it would spoil her chances with him. So, she did nothing.
"Unfortunately, the fellow wasn't all that serious anyway, so the whole situation is a disaster from her point of view. It didn't work out with the guy — it never would have. And now, she's facing her cancer more or less alone…"

This is Texas, and we cherish our barbecue! Do we not grace many a grill with our fajita? What barbecue pit between El Paso and the Sabine River has not encountered a moment-defining brisket? If ever a Texan were thought to be shy of grillin' skills, the mere idea would be rendered laughable -- a rumor, a myth, like the chupacabra.
Although we often engage in legendary Battles of the Barbecue with Kansas City and the Carolinas, how the heck did California go unnoticed when they have one of the most wonderful treasures since the Gold Rush?
While Californians immediately recognize their beloved tri-tip and the legendary Santa Maria-style barbecue, this triangular cut of beef has eluded the barbecue repertoire of Texans for too long. Cut from the bottom sirloin and above the flank, the tender tri-tip steak requires only simple seasonings to impress even our picky palates.
Really, the tri-tip's journey from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast was bound to happen: The tri-tip originated in Santa Maria, California, as a result of its rancheros history and vaqueros tradition. Yes, "vaqueros," as in "cowboys." So, indeed, this delicious bit of history is essentially coming from Western cowboy to Southern cowboy.
We tip our hats; much obliged!
Tri-Tip Tips
One of our Western brethren offers wonderful advice for preparing a classic Santa Maria-style barbecued tri-tip:
1. Use your favorite dry rub, but keep it simple: He recommends a Montreal steak seasoning.
2. "Slow & low" is the way to go. Initially sear the surface on high heat to lock in the juices, but then lower your grill's temperature to roughly 300 degrees and cook the meat for approximately 45 minutes (or until the meat almost reaches the desired level of "doneness"). Remove from heat and allow the meat to rest for a few minutes.
3. Fun for one but hearty for a party: The tri-tip is an affordable cut that suits any family gathering or neighborhood barbecue just fine. There's no need for hoardin', unless y'all are just plain greedy.
4. Our Meat Departments are all set. Visit your local Fiesta to delight in this California gold-turned-Texas treasure.

U.S. Census Bureau Black History Month Feature for February 29
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily Black History Month feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America for the 29th day of Black History Month. Born in Washington, D.C., Benjamin O. Davis Jr. had a lot to live up to. His father became the Army's first black general in 1940. The junior Davis graduated from West Point in 1936, and in March of 1942, earned his pilot's wings. He went on to command the 99th Fighter Squadron, the famous "Tuskegee Airmen." This group, flying red tailed P-51 Mustangs, had an enviable record escorting bombers and keeping them safe from enemy fighters. Davis, known for bravery in combat, and with a distinguished military record, became the air force's first black general in 1954. Today in the U.S., there are just under 2 million surviving veterans of World War II, including the African pilots of the Tuskegee Airmen. This special edition of Profile America is a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

(11–14), and salamander (15,16). Each of these studies concluded that ganglion cells were not independent in their behavior. In particular, the spike trains from different ganglion cells were strongly correlated in absence of any visual stimulus, for example, in complete darkness or constant uniform illumination. Nearby cells tended to fire synchronously much more frequently than expected by chance, as evidenced by a central peak in the correlation function of their two spike trains (Fig. 1A). Such positive correlation was found primarily if both cells were ON type or both were OFF type. Two cells of opposite response type were often anticorrelated and tended to avoid generating simultaneous spikes.
In a remarkable study of pairwise recordings from cat retina, Mastronarde (12–14) identified three separate sources of correlations among the spike trains of two ganglion cells: Quantal fluctuations in a shared photoreceptor led to a broad peak or valley in the correlation function, with widths around 50 ms. These were observed only in darkness or very dim illumination, presumably requiring the high gain of phototransduction achieved by the dark-adapted retina. Shared synaptic input from a spiking neuron, possibly an amacrine cell, produced fast correlations on the time scale of 5–10 ms. These occurred at all light levels, provided that the receptive field centers of the two ganglion cells overlapped. Finally, ganglion cells appeared to be coupled to each other by gap junctions, and occasionally triggered each other with spike delays of <1 ms. Taken together, these correlations affected a large fraction of retinal activity—e.g., the rapid correlations from shared spiking input alone accounted for 80% of the maintained activity of Y cells. However, the experiments were all performed under constant illumination, and, thus, it remained unresolved whether such synchronous firing occurs during visual stimulation and how it might affect the transmission of information from the retina to the brain.
It is now feasible to record simultaneously from many retinal ganglion cells by placing the isolated retina on a flat array of metal microelectrodes (17). In this way, we have recently analyzed the concerted activity among ganglion cells in the tiger salamander retina (15,16). The efficiency of monitoring a large number of cells and the long lifetime of the amphibian preparation have allowed a more thorough statistical analysis of concerted firing patterns, as well as an assessment of their role in visual signaling. During spontaneous activity in darkness, nearby ganglion cells had a pronounced tendency to fire synchronously, within 10–20 ms of each other (Fig. 1A). This degree of synchrony is highly significant, and one can quantify its strength by the "correlation index": the observed number of synchronous spike pairs (with delays <20 ms) divided by the number expected if the ganglion cells fired independently. The correlation index was found to depend strongly on the distance between the receptive field centers of the two neurons (Fig. 1B), decreasing from a maximum of ≈20 for neighboring cells to 1 at a separation of 0.4 mm. At greater distances, up to 1 mm, the correlation index dipped significantly below 1, indicating that distant neurons tended to avoid firing synchronously. The phenomenology of these correlations is remarkably similar to the fast pairwise correlations observed in cat retina (12).
A higher-order analysis revealed that the effects extended beyond pairwise synchrony (M. J. Schnitzer and M.M., unpublished results): larger groups of ganglion cells were found to discharge simultaneously. Such firing patterns involved up to seven neurons in an experiment that monitored about 10% of the ganglion cells overlying the electrodes. These groups of cells were usually not nearest neighbors, but dispersed over the retina within the 0.4-mm distance determined from the pairwise analysis. Each ganglion cell could participate in several such stereotyped firing patterns. Altogether, synchronized firing among two or more cells accounted for more than 50% of all recorded action potentials. This probably underestimates the overall importance of concerted firing since only a fraction of all ganglion cells was observed.
The narrow width of the correlation peak centered near zero delay (Fig. 1A) suggests that groups of synchronized ganglion cells share excitatory input from another spiking neuron: its action potentials could trigger the follower ganglion cells simultaneously with high reliability. This shared input may originate from a spiking amacrine cell (12), and each stereotyped firing pattern among ganglion cells may represent the postsynaptic field of such an amacrine cell. Alternatively, synchronized ganglion cells could be coupled to each other via gap junctions, a possibility that is less plausible (16), though not entirely ruled out by the available evidence. For the remainder of this article, an origin in spiking amacrine cells will be taken as a working hypothesis, although the basic conclusions do not depend on that assumption.
Concerted firing persisted when the retina was driven by various visual stimuli, such as periodic flashes, traveling gratings, and a randomly flickering checkerboard (16). The shape of the pairwise correlation functions and the distance dependence of the correlation index remained essentially unaltered under visual stimulation. The same stereotyped multineuronal firing patterns were found as in darkness, but their rate of occurrence was strongly modulated by the stimulus. We de-

Requirements of Insurers and Insurance Agents in Annuity Sales to Seniors
Section 627.4554(4)(b)(d), Florida Statutes, requires a determination to be made about the suitability of an annuity when selling to individuals age 65 or older ("seniors"). The law also requires certain disclosures and an objective comparison of annuity contracts when recommending the exchange or replacement of a senior's annuity. Forms for this purpose have been adopted in Rule 69B-162.011, F.A.C., and became effective on December 25, 2009.
Links to the adopted forms are below and also available on our Forms page for future reference.

Alan's Anger
Tasty Teaser
Published June 30, 2012
After spending five years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, Alan is more than angry. He's bitter, and he doesn't hesitate to let everyone know. When his mate appears at the tavern where he works, Alan does everything in his power to avoid the small bear.
Alan does not need nor want a mate.
When Sasha steps into a tavern to warm his toes, little does he know he will be meeting his mate. Alan is everything Sasha could ever want in a big bear. The problem is Alan doesn't want him, and he lets Sasha know.
When Sasha walks out, Alan realizes what a jerk he has been. Alan combs the streets for his mate, but Sasha is nowhere to be found. Will fate give Alan another chance, or has his anger ruined the only chance Alan has for a happily ever after?
Alan looked up from where he was wiping the counter down, spotting another drunken bastard causing trouble in the bar that he worked in. He shook his head as he watched two men knock the crap out of each other and wondered when these people would ever learn. If the drunks could only see themselves, they would probably just shake their heads as Alan was doing right now.

Dallas County voters overwhelmingly pass the referendum to allow Sunday alcohol sales in the county by a nearly two to one margin.
Alcoholic beverages can now be sold and dispensed within the county on Sunday from 12:00 P-M to 9:30 P-M.
Opponents of Sunday alcohol sales said increasing access to alcohol would be bad for the community but people in favor of Sunday alcohol sales say it will mean more tax dollars for the county.
Election officials will canvass the results and certify the election next Tuesday.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Blair Underwood is returning to series television in a remake of "Ironside," which shares few similarities with the original series that starred Raymond Burr.
The character's name and job as a detective is the same, and he uses a wheelchair after being paralyzed from the waist down.
In a nod to Burr, Underwood's character ends the day by sipping a glass of bourbon.
"Everything else is re-imagined. All new characters, a new city, new texture, new storytelling, new audience," Underwood told the Television Critics Association on Saturday. "It's a crime drama wrapped in a character study."
The original series, set in San Francisco, ran on NBC from 1967-75. The reboot is based in New York City and filmed in Los Angeles. NBC has ordered 13 episodes of the show that debuts Oct. 2.
Underwood said he got used to the wheelchair by using one at home while learning his lines. The role is especially meaningful to him because his mother, Marilyn, is in a wheelchair as the result of multiple sclerosis.
In preparing for the part, Underwood is working with technical adviser David Bryant, who became a paraplegic after a skiing accident at 19. Bryant's self-sufficiency inspires the new "Ironside" incarnation, with the handles on the character's wheelchair removed just as they are on Bryant's chair.
"It's something I had to delve into and continue to delve into as often as possible," Underwood said. "Our job is to make you believe it and be authentic in that."
Ironside's personal life is noticeably spicier than it was on the old show, too.
"What David told me is every injury is unique, and everybody is different depending on where it affects your spinal cord," Underwood said. "So, yes, in Ironside's case, he is able."
Underwood returns to TV after a stint on Broadway last year. The 48-year-old actor has a long history on NBC, including a breakout role in "L.A. Law."
His co-stars include Spencer Grammer, the oldest daughter of Kelsey Grammer, a star on the NBC hits "Cheers" and "Frasier."

Vanity Fair has released its annual "Hollywood Issue," complete with its annual "glossy photo of famous people slinking all over each other like they are about to do it, which maybe they are, although probably not, I mean, they're just colleagues, most of them probably don't even know each other, then again it's not like you can't do it with someone you don't know that well, but they probably aren't going to do it, but maybe!" Let's take a look! (Click to enlarge.) (That is what she clicked.)
Cool bar, guys. Hey, where's that bar? I've got other stuff to do, I'm like super busy, just curious. I figured maybe when my parents came to town, if I didn't know where to take them, we could hit up that bar, what is it some kind of secret? (Cool bar. COOLEST bartender. LOL.) Anyway, let's just do this one by one, that seems reasonable:
Ryan Reynolds: Perhaps not the person that I would but FIRST on the Hollywood issue? But he did spend upwards of 15-minutes in a coffin at a time without almost any snacks probably only a few snacks between takes, so, fair enough. He earned it. Also: Green Lantern, I guess? (Shrug.)
Jake Gyllenhaal: Prince of Persia? What is going on here. Jake Gyllenhaal is a good actor and he has a pretty face (no brokebacko) but he was exclusively in terrible movies this year? I know they didn't put him on the front cover of the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue because of Love and Other Drugs!
Anne Hathaway: HAHAHA THEY DID! THEY DID PUT JAKE GYLLENHAAL ON THE FRONT COVER BECAUSE OF LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS. Guys, I'm beginning to think that the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue is ridiculous!
James Franco: Honest to God, for a second I thought that was John Leguizamo and I just assumed he was taking his annual spot on the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue cover that he earned by playing the fat devil clown in Spawn. But no, James Franco makes sense. Hi, James Franco.
Jennifer Lawrence: Good. Yes. "One to watch." "Cannot wait to watch her." "Not in a creepy way." "I mean, normal amount of creepy." "That dress seems nice!" "I MEAN SHE SEEMS NICE!" "What are we talking about again?"
Anthony Mackie: You may remember Anthony Mackie from The Hurt Locker. In Hollywood, it's important to capitalize on your momentum from meaningful roles in important movies. So look for Anthony Mackie in 2011 in Real Steel.
Olivia Wilde: Ms. Wilde, of course, is nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar this year for her role as "Computer Girlfriend" in Tron: Legacy.
Jesse Eisenberg: Duh.
Mila Kunis: Duh.
Robert Duvall: LOLOLLOLLLOLLLOLOL. They say that you die three times. First, when your body dies. Second, when everyone who knew you dies. And third, when your name is spoken out loud for the last time. But I think there is also a fourth time that you die, somewhere in there, which is when you are Robert Duvall and this picture was taken.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: A year ago, I probably would have made a joke about Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I still think he was WAY too needy and flop-sweaty when he hosted Saturday Night Live, and I do not like (500) Days of Summer, but he was very good in Inception, so I am declaring a one year moratorium on Joseph Gordon-Levitt jokes. Congrats, Joe!
Andrew Garfield: Yup. Yes. Duly noted.
Rashida Jones: Haha. Look. I love Rashida Jones, and by that I mean I am IN LOVE WITH Rashida Jones. But why is she on this cover? For her role in The Social Network? No offense, but a Carl's Jr. bag could have played that part. Wasn't one of her lines "Do you want a sandwich?" or something? Oh wait, no, I remember why she's on here. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting MARRY ME. That's it. Good luck, Rashida!
Garrett Hedlund: All joking aside, Garrett Hedlund is one of the worst actors in America. Let's move on.
Noomi Rapace: Who? Egg? Her? (Just kidding. I know she is going to star in The Girl with The Beach Read Tattoo and that will make her the Yo-Landi Vi$$er of our generation.)
More like HollyWEIRD, right, you guys? (Via ONTD.)

I don't know why they picked Robert Duvall. Clearly they need a wartime bartender.
No mention of the lion being bottle fed? It's the most precious thing on there!
lion being bottle fed IS adorable. i feel a little weird about the fact that the lion is being fed by someone in animal print. it's clearly not fur or anything, but it seems weird. gabe, tell your wife i say that is a teaspoon of weird too much.
And she's doing it so casually, which I find weird. "Oh, who are you? A baby lion? Here's a bottle baby lion, don't look me in the eyes."
Someone, coincidentally enough, biracial. Vanity Fair has a one drop rule for non-whites and exotic prints or scenarios. They literally cannot feature a black model without putting her in cheetah or zebra print..

Minorities, get to the inside, nothing to see here, Folks
Oh Andrew Garfield, why must they hide you on the inside?
Does this imply there is a non-Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair?
"When Thelma Met Louise (And Brad): The Making of a Revolutionary Film" Go to bed, Vanity Fair.
Pump your brakes when you're talking about Olivia Wilde, Gabe; that's my future wife you're talking about.
I think Hollywood's inclusion of Joseph Gordon-Levitt speaks volumes for our culture's willingness to accept Munchin Americans.

My mom would not like this comment very much
Nope, sorry, the movies are pretty great. I've heard that the books are ridiculously dense to the point of being nearly unreadable though, so I understand the hatred on that level.
By "anything based on that book also has to be terrible" are you including "weirdly relaxed attitudes toward sexual congress possibly as a result of drinking waaay to much aquavit", because I am taking Swedish lessons, and I'll just stop now.
the movie was the rapiest thing i've ever seen. spoiler alert: everyone you see on screen either rapes or gets raped by someone else on screen.
S'a good book, man
I'd prolly get with 11….maybe 12 of those people if I was half wasted. (No, Duvallo)
You guys, I don't think it's fair to judge this issue until we have all read and reflected on the Michael Lewis article "Will Ireland's Money Cri…" ZOMG Andrew Garfield!! LUVZ!!!!
in all honesty all I can think of when I look at this picture (and let me tell you I've looked at it a lot!) is "I want to go there" when my eyes zoom in on JGL
Psst, Olivia! You forgot to wear a dress!
Anthony Mackie was also in Sean Combs' biographical movie/love letter to Notorious B.I.G. you know the one where the "Puff Daddy" character comes off like a savior. Man, I bet Puff Daddy is not a douche in real life, not a douche at all.
My dad was talking to me about how he wants to see the movie where James Franco is nominated for best actor for being buried alive in a box for 127 hours. You're the best Dad!
That's one sexy actor mix up.
He also said that he wants to see the Transporter 4 (The Mechanic?) starring Jason Stacham (who?). My dad claims he is the best actor of his generation and "boy is he put together".

Oh Jesse Eisenberg, looking so awkward trying so hard not to accidentally touch the beautiful women he's sandwiched between. Endearment accomplished.
"fat devil clown in Spawn" Excuse me? I believe his name is The Green Goblin.
I don't understand this article, it doesn't match the picture. I mean, the cover is just a picture of Mila Kunis looking exactly like she does in ALL OF MY DREAMS, right? That's the only thing I'm seeing here, anyway.
Also, as much as I adore Robert Duvall (greatest living actor, for realsies) we all know that the bartender from The Shining was the only way to go.
Does this remind anyone else of the Sining? Whenever I see people in tuxedos in a bar, I'm reminded of the Shining.
Does it remind you of The Shining now?

It takes a Ryan Reynolds and a Jake Gyllenhaal to make up for the fact that Ryan Gosling should have been on the cover.
Mmmm James Franco.
What is unacceptable is that the men are overdressed and the women half-naked. Off with the tuxedos, guys!
Nothing will ever make up for the fact that Ryan Gosling is not on the cover, unless he is under my covers!
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! NIGHTMARE, YOU ARE HILARIOUS! JUST STOP IT ALREADY! YOU'RE KILLING US, SMALLS!" – You guys
I know, right? And what of the missing Mark Ruffalo and Michelle Williams? This cover has a long way to go if it wants to get out of my dreams and into my car.
It says it was photographed by Norman Jean Roy, so I'm setting up a PayPal account so that Annie Leibovitz can make rent this month
Noomi Rapace = Lisbeth Salander in the original Swedish version of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series. She was brilliant in them – can't wait for her next film.
At this point, I honestly believe Rashida Jones has pictures of everyone in Hollywood at a Hitler Youth Rally.
"No offense, but a Carl's Jr. bag could have played that part"
Thanks for the literal LOL Gabe!
Good job, all of these peoples' publicists. Excellent work.
It's not a party until someone bottle feeds the baby leopard.
wow i was REALLY sure rashida jones was marion cotillard. like, i googled it, and everything. weird! (very timely! very comment!)

5 Things I love about Wes (in no particular order)
1. I love that we both will jump up and down on the couches during a great play of one of our sports teams.
2. I love that I can make you a PB & J with a glass of milk and you look at me like I'm the wife of the year.
3. I love the random dances we have…most of the time with sportscasters talking about Tebow in the background.
4. I love that you drive to whole foods when you buy me flowers because I hate grocery store flowers.
5. I love that you take all my blog photos, no matter how many times I want a re-do.

Nevada state law prohibits same sex marriage, but it does allow for domestic partnerships which it specifies grants them "the same rights, protections and benefits" of spouses.

Did you know it was Chick-Fil-A appreciation day yesterday? It was. My reaction was "why would they celebrate this now, when Intolerance day is so soon?

Part of my portfolio includes this project called Weaving Narratives: Possessions = Autobiographies, it is an exploration into how any ad hoc grouping of objects has some kind of inherent narrative, albeit a selected and limited narrative; but it is a narrative nonetheless.
When I was a boy I remember my father keeping a box of items that meant a lot to him. I keep a box like this too. The Italian blacksmith that I apprenticed under also kept boxes of items, but on a different scale; when he died I got one of those boxes: we call it a storage unit in American English.
As I was going through all of the contents of the storage unit I realized that there were real life stories attached to these items. Some of those stories are true, others might be true, and some of them are fiction (i.e., speculation). I started calling the items from the storage unit the story of How to Be an Old Man.
This really influenced how I started to put things together. In fact, I wanted to create an abstraction of the possible story behind all of this stuff. I started to think about books I have read and how I like the books that give descriptions of the little items and objects that the characters possess; these little details made the story more believable, less artificial…some how knowing about the possessions of a person gives them a sort of credibility.
Anyway, the image above is part of my attempt at crafting a book without words, and it is potentially an infinite number of narratives that can be construed and re-construed in any number of ways. Think about it…looking at the image above, how many different kinds of explanations can you come up with for a narrative that strings them together?
Check out the downloadable .pdf file (11 page excerpt) of this project, and mix and remix the inherent stories however you want. You can also view this short video I made about the project.
More to come…

Gender-Neutral Easy-Bake Oven: Good PR Move?
During the holiday season, people expect toy giant Hasbro to make headlines. But this usually happens when the company releases a new game or a limited special edition product — not because children are calling out the brand for sexism in familiar toys like the Easy-Bake Oven and Guess Who?
A few months ago, a 6-year-old girl wrote a letter to Hasbro, arguing that Guess Who? is sexist because only five of the 24 characters in the game are female. This inequality makes the choice of a female character less than desireable for kids because it increases their chances of losing the game. The moment a child's opponent asks, "Is it a girl?" and the answer is "yes", 19 cards are automatically eliminated and the game is pretty much over.
The little girl, her mother, and their supporters were less than impressed by Hasbro's response (which basically amounted to "we'll keep your suggestions in mind for the future.") So when a second party lobbed a similar complaint against the toy company, they decided to take tangible action.
We'll explain, but first you need to watch this clip of an adorable young boy/aspiring chef who tells the world once and for all that "boys like to cook too!"

Manager Mike Quade says Cubs will keep battling in second half
By Gordon Wittenmyer email@example.com July 10, 2011 8:40PM
PITTSBURGH, PA - JULY 10: Ramon Ortiz #32 of the Chicago Cubs is pulled by manager Mike Quade #8 against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the game on July 10, 2011 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images) R:\Merlin\Getty_Photos\118743998.jpg
Updated: October 27, 2011 12:30AM
PITTSBURGH — As the symbolic first half of the season came to an unceremonious close Sunday for the Cubs, they faced more serious questions moving forward than which veteran fill-in guy gets the fifth-starter call coming out of the break.
And while they continued to downplay the significance of Ryan Dempster going off on manager Mike Quade on the dugout step Saturday night in front of TV cameras, the perception is that the happy-face mask is finally slipping after 31/2 months of adversity.
Whether perception becomes reality might be the biggest internal test they'll face coming out of the All-Star break after a first half that finished with an uninspiring 9-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Quade said he has no concerns about whether the surprisingly strong and consistent effort and tone from the players will continue into the final 70-game stretch of the season.
''It damn well better,'' he said. ''If a moment like that shatters something like that, from what I've seen from this group and this club, then I've misjudged the whole bunch.''
It didn't help perceptions that they fell so flat so fast less than 24 hours later, then headed off for a three-day break with the second-worst record in the majors — back to a season low of 18 games under .500.
''I look at that as an incident that took place between [a manager] and a guy that wanted to pitch, period,'' Quade said of Dempster's vehement response to being lifted after five innings for a pinch hitter. "These guys will play and get through that no matter what.
''And if we don't have the same kind of tenacity and approach that we did in a tough first half, then we won't have a better second half that we're looking for. It's important. But we will.''
Quade said he planned to eventually talk to Dempster about Saturday.
''I don't take long to get to things,'' he said.
But he also said he wasn't concerned about any lingering issues, especially considering the kind of player and person Dempster is.
''A guy like him, things take care of themselves a little bit,'' Quade said. ''I kind of chuckled because it kind of brought me to the day in Washington [last year], like, 'Of all the guys.' But not because he was upset like that. Because I like this guy.''
Dempster, who was taken out of a scoreless game in the eighth after only 70 pitches last August, got over that one quickly. And he said Saturday night that he already had moved past any issues.
''I think I like it,'' teammate Alfonso Soriano said of Dempster's latest outburst. ''The attitude that Dempster had, he wanted to be out there. He wanted to pitch. That's a fighter. That's good.''
They'll need all the fight they can get to get any semblance of respectability out of the second half. They'll need even more pitching.
But what nobody argued about Sunday was that most of the team can use this three-day break — especially on the heels of a 2-5 road trip that left them with losses in 15 of their last 23 games.
No starter lasted longer than six innings during the just-completed trip.
''I know it's been tough. It's a good three days for the bullpen, for sure,'' Quade said of the break. ''And that'll change.''
''It's huge,'' Soriano said, ''because everybody's more tired mentally than physically. I think we need the break to feel good, and when we come back in the second half, we'll have a better idea and play better.''

Herkimer/Mohawk Police Chief: cuts would make for unsafe situation
HERKIMER, N.Y. (WKTV) - Even before Wednesday's quadruple-fatal shooting in Mohawk and Herkimer, the police chief of both villages says he was trying to convince the Herkimer Village Board that cutting two positions from the police department (one currently vacant; one anticipated retirement) would be unsafe. Joseph Malone is Chief of Police for both the Village of Herkimer and the Village of Mohawk. Chief Malone is even more convinced after last week that cutting the police department would be unsafe, not only for officers, but the public. "This just illustrates that it can happen here," Chief Malone said. "Our jobs are dangerous and it's becoming more and more dangerous not only for the officers, but the residents. Tough time to think of cutting public safety." The village board has asked Malone to see if he can safely, and with adequate coverage, schedule an 18-person department. The department is currently 20-strong, but operating with 19 due to a yet-to-be-filled vacancy. The chief says there is no fat to cut; that only 3-4 officers are working per shift. "Nothing is cast in stone. We want to look at the thing that he comes up with. He's the professional. We'll go with his recommendations, " says Village Board Member Harold Stoffolano, who added that there will be no layoffs. Herkimer Mayor Mark Ainsworth says they're trying to come up with ways to operate more efficiently without compromising the safety of an aging population. "The sergeant on the desk would be going on the street and having a dispatcher, again, maybe a retired police officer on an hourly pay, no benefits, sit the desk at night," said Mayor Ainsworth. Ainsworth added that he agrees with the police chief; it can happen anywhere. "I think our community is still very safe," Mayor Ainsworth said. "No matter what size your police department is, what happened Wednesday is a tragedy and it could happen anywhere, no matter what size your police department is." The Herkimer Village Board's regular monthly meeting is tonight at 7 p.m. The village budget must be in place by May 1st.

Differences in Blood Pressure by Body Position (Supine, Fowler's, and Sitting) in Hypertensive Subjects.
Summary of "Differences in Blood Pressure by Body Position (Supine, Fowler's, and Sitting) in Hypertensive Subjects."
BackgroundAlthough blood pressure (BP) differences from supine to sitting position have long been recognized, limited data are available on other commonly used body positions. We performed a cross-sectional study to compare BP values obtained in supine, sitting, and Fowler's positions in essential hypertensive subjects.MethodsSystolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were recorded using an automatic oscillometric device. Nine measurements were taken: three measurements, in random order, in supine, Fowler's, and sitting position. Two generalized estimating equations models were used to evaluate potential predictors of SBP and DBP adjusting for heart rate and measurement order.ResultsThe sample consisted of 250 subjects (mean age 66.3 ± 13.4 years; 44.4% males). Measured in supine, Fowler's, and sitting position, mean SBPs were 139.3 ± 14.0; 138.1 ± 13.8; 137.2 ± 13.7 mm Hg, respectively, and mean DBPs 80.1 ± 9.1; 81.9 ± 9.4; 83.0 ± 9.6 mm Hg, respectively. At multivariate analysis, mean SBP significantly decreased if measured in Fowler's and sitting positions, as compared to supine. In contrast, DBP significantly increased. A relevant proportion of subjects showed large differences (≤ or ≥10 mm Hg) in mean SBP across positions: i.e., 30.0% comparing supine vs. sitting SBP. An even higher prevalence of large differences was observed according to the measurement order within the same positions, with no univocal direction (random variation).ConclusionsFowler's position may represent a valid alternative to sitting and supine positions for BP measurement in clinical practice. BP random variability was found to be large regardless of body position, reinforcing the need for operators to closely follow current guidelines that recommend ≥2 recordings at each measurement.American Journal of Hypertension (2011). doi:10.1038/ajh.2011.106.

The effect of different positions on lower limbs skin perfusion pressure.
We have encountered situations of patients with critical limb ischemia accompanied by pain at rest and necrosis, who hang their legs down from the bed during sleep. This lower limb position is known t...
The effect of body posture on cognitive performance: a question of sleep quality.
Nearly all functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are conducted in the supine body posture, which has been discussed as a potential confounder of such examinations. The literature sugges...
Etiology and Use of the "Hanging Drop" Technique: A Review.
Background. The hanging drop (HD) technique presumably relies on the presence of subatmospheric epidural pressure. It is not clear whether this negative pressure is intrinsic or an artifact and how it...
Intraocular pressure fluctuation in healthy and glaucomatous eyes: a comparative analysis between diurnal curves in supine and sitting positions and the water drinking test.
Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) using the simplified daily tensional curve (SDTC) between supine and sitting positions in terms of peak levels and amount of fluctuation in both, glaucom...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Hypotension, Orthostatic
A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include DIZZINESS, blurred vision, and SYNCOPE.
Postural Balance
A POSTURE in which an ideal body mass distribution is achieved. Postural balance provides the body carriage stability and conditions for normal functions in stationary position or in movement, such as sitting, standing, or walking.
Pressure Ulcer
An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure on the SKIN and TISSUES when one stay in one position for a long period of time, such as lying in bed. The bony areas of the body are the most frequently affected sites which become ischemic (ISCHEMIA) under sustained and constant pressure.
Supine Position
The posture of an individual lying face up.
Central Venous Pressure
The blood pressure in the central large VEINS of the body. It is distinguished from peripheral venous pressure which occurs in an extremity.
